Merry Christmas and Happy what other holiday you celebrate.

For Christmas I would like somepony to take one of my ideas from the Nightmare Spectre arc about various Harry Raised In Equestria fics and go with it. Maybe it'll give me some incentive to get the next chapter out faster.

Here's a tasty chapter called;

Chapter 26: MMMMystery on the Friendship Express Part 1

"Marzipan Marscipone Mereingue Madness!" Pinkie Pie said in awe.

"You've really outdone yourselves this time auntie Cup and uncle Carrot." Harry said in awe. Harry was babysat alot by these two ponies when he was an infant/toddler when Rarity couldn't (Which was often) So they where like family to him and the Apple's along with Pinkie Pie.

"This cake is sure to be the winner of this years National Dessert Competition!" Pinkie told her landlords/bosses reassuringly.

"Thank you Pinkie, Harry." Cup Cake told the foal and mare

"And thank you two for transporting it to Canterlot for us." Carrot Cake said in appreciation.

"Absolutely!" Pinkie said eagerly. "Its my honor and Harry always loves an excuse to visit Princess Celestia she is his grandmother after all and-"

"Uh, Pinkie, could we move this along?" Harry asked noticing his uncle who was lifting the heavy cake with a certain degree of difficulty. "That cake's reeeeallly heavy and Uncle Macintosh is having trouble already. "Right Uncle Macintosh?"

"EEyup." The red stallion said strainingly as he struggled with the cake.

"Alrighty then Big Mac." Pinkie Pie said putting on a hardhat with a hazard light. "To the Train Depot!" She said eagerly backing up out of Sugarcube Corner with The Cakes and Harry following the foals uncle.

"That's it Big Macintosh. Nice and easy, this is precious cargo your carrying." Pinkie coaxed the stallion forward.

Do it fer the cupcakes. Do it fer the Cupcakes. The red stallion thought about his 6 months of free cupcakes he would get for carriyng this danged cake.

"Yes it took 6 months of planning, design and careful testing." Carrot told the red stallion.

"I would hate for it too-" Cup said before Big Macintosh started wobbling and along with him the cake.

The two Earth Pony's and Harry gasped. Mr Cake's eyes rolled back and he collapsed momentarily.

"I can handle this." Pinkie said to the couple. "Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, a little Pegassisstance?"

The two pegasus flew down to their earth pony friend and got her instructions.

"I'll get it there safely you'll see." Pinkie told the two bakers.

"Of course Pinkie." Cup said nervously.

"We never doubted you." Carrot said encouragingly."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flew on either side of the cake with a rope two ropes underneath. This somehow let up on Big Macintosh a bit as the stallion was now walking easier but more carefully. Suddenly, the pink maned pegasus faltered in the air for a moment. Rainbow Dash flew into action and pulled her side more to counteract the balance on Fluttershy's side.

"Twilight, Harry, can I see you guys for a quick second?"

Twilight was walking with her horn glowing purple and Harry's a black trimmed with crimson (His aura had changed since his episode as Nightmare Spectre) Their protective spells double the assurance of the safety of MMMM.

"A couple of nice protective spells are extra insurance." Pinkie told her bosses as they continued on their noble quest to guide MMMM to the Train Depot.

Cup and Carrot looked nervously from the foal and unicorn mare to their cake continuously looking nerve wracked.

"A.J., Rarity, one last thing?" The pink mare asked the last of their group.

Harry walked next to Applejack with his horn glowing with protective magic as his mother and godmother held a trampoline under MMMM in their teeth.

"Alright everypony, where in the home stretch here!" Pinkie said to everypony as Carrot Cake looked faint.

"Breath Uncle Carrot." Harry told the stallion. He started heave breathing in nervousness.

""See Mr and Mrs Cake? I got it here without a hitch!" The mare said eagerly. "Now we just gotta get it...in?" Pinkie Pie asked in curiousity as she had no idea how they where going to get it inside the train.

Carrot Cake rolled his eyes back in his head and collapsed.

Theme Song Break

Harry levitated the wall closed and watched his uncle Macintosh outside hammer it back in place.

"Bye Uncle Macintosh!": He shouted through the window. "Have a nice weekend!"

Macintosh waved goodbye to his nephew before settin' off for Sweet Apple Acres. However his first stop would be Sugarcuvbe Corner to surprise Granny Smith and Applebloom with two dozen cupcakes.

"Thank you all for helping me get the cake in the dessert car!" Pinkie told her friends eagerly as their resident Alicorn joined them next to Applejack.

"Thank you for inviting us to go with you to Canterlot for the National Dessert Competition." Twilight told her earth pony friend.

"I'm sure the festivities will be just lovely." Rarity added.

"Phooey on the festivities." Applejack said to Rarity who looked slightly taken aback. "I can't wait to try all those tasty treats!" She reached for MMMM only to have her hoof smacked away by Pinkie Pie.

"Well the tastiest treat of all is sure to be the Cake's Marzipan Marscapone Mereingue Madness. All that rich, creamy goodness of the Marzipan. Combined with the tanginess of the Marscapone, blended perfectly with the smooth silky, sweetness of the mereignue."

"Its a cornucopia of delightful flavors." Harry said silently to himself as Pinkie Pie continued to brag on her bossess entry in the NDC. He saw the other mares in the car slurping tongues and staring at the mountainous cake.

"That's why I call the Marzipan Marscapone Mereignue Madness the MMMM."

All five other mares and alicorn colt MMMMed.

"Exactly." Pinkie Pie jumped over to the cake. "Its the most delicious delectable delightful delovely cake in all of Equestria!'

"That gives me an idea!" Harry said eagerly. He grabbed a card from the pack of index cards that the Cakes gave Pinkie to put a name on their cake. Harry wrote. "The Delightful, Delicious, Delovely MMMM Cake." underneath he wrote "Marzipan Marscapone Mereignue Madness." He showed it to Pinkie who nodded eagerly and he put it in front of the cake on the cart.

"Zis is not so!" Came a Prench accented male voice. The ponies looked to the door and saw a griffon male with a long mustache. "For I, Gustave LeGrande, do challenge your crude cake to a duel of delectable delicacies. With my Exceptionally Exquisite Eclairs!"

Fluttershy and Rarity "Oooed" at the bright light seemingly coming from the eclairs. One if one was paying attention, could see the young prince with his tongue out at the sight of the tasty sweets. "Sooo yummy." He whined to himself.

LeGrande flicked off a portable strobe light he carried and threw it to the side on a cushioned seat before placing his entry "Zey will undoubtably ztrike down all ze competition, winning first prize and crowning me, le ch'ampione." The griffon chef said with a paw in the air.

"Not a chance LeGrand." Came a gruff voice fromt he door of the car. Everyone turned to see everypony's favorite doughnut baker. Pony Joe.

"Hey Doughnut Joe, what are you doing in Ponyville?" Twilight asked her old friend. She would get a doughnut every week at his shop when she had to study for a test when she was still at the Gifted Unicorn school.

"Pickin' up the final, all important ingredient for MY contest entry; DOUGHNUTOPIA!" He reaised a hoof to his side showing off his greatest creation. A towering city of doughnuts and doughnut holes. With icing and chocolate and all kinds of goodies on his fabulous doughy creation. "And with these Super Sprinkles, my doughnuts are gonna dunk all the other lousy desserts, steal first prize and make my doughnut shop famous, FOREVER!" He laughed evilly after declaring his intentions.

"That's not very evil Twilight." Harry said pulling on her mane.

"He just likes being dramatic around foals." Twilight told the youngest pony in the car. "Foals back in Canterlot love it when he gets all dramatic."

"Ohoho Joe, your doughnuts could never outrun me." Came an older sounding voice with a hint of class similar to Rarity's voice. Doughnut Joe moved aside to make way for a giant chocolate moose. Literally it was a moose made of chocolate.

"Hi there." Pinkie Pie said to the moose. "What's your name?"

A mule female poked her head in. "I, am Mulia Mild." She introduced herself with a giggle. "Behold. My Chocolate Mousse, Moose."

"Ch-ch-chocolate." Harry stuttered in awe at the most chocolate in one dessert he had ever seen in his short life.

"It will trample all your treats. be given first prize and make me the greatest chef in Equestria." Mild bragged.

"Madame Mild, you and your Mousse Moose are quite mistaken." LeGrande told the mule.

"Your frou frou eclairs will NEVER defeat my doughnuts." Joe declared to LeGrande who looked taken aback.

"The Cakes Marzipan Marscapone Mereignue Madness is going to WIN!" Pinkie declared to all three bakers.

"Your simple cake could never take my Mousse." Mulia told Pinkie before the train whistle blew.

Pinkie and the other bakers glared each other down as the train started to move before Twilight poked her head in. "Well it looks like we're in for a delicious competition tomorrow. Maybe we should all settle in for a good night's sleep." The unicorn mare suggested good naturedly.

The other bakers left the mane six mares and crown prince all grumbling as they went to their rooms. They slammed thier doors shut.

"Momma I'm sleepy." Harry told Applejack after pulling her mane to get her attention. He yawned big. It was getting pretty late after all.

"Go on ahead Sugarcube, we'll settle up in here."

"Goodnight you guys." Harry told the mares as he yawned again. The foal went to the room he and his mother where sharing on the train.

"Oh he's so adorable when he acts his age." Rarity told Applejack with a squeal. "I just want to eat him up like those sweets."

"Well goodnight you guys, I'm pretty beat myself." Rainbow Dash said as she was about to fly over to her room she and Fluttershy where sharing.

"Yeah, I'm gonna hit the hay myself." Applejack said about to make her way to her and Harry's room. Pinkie looked extremely nervous and finally felt she had to speak up.

"WAIT!" Pinkie blocked the door way with all for hooves. "Didn't you hear those chef's? We have to protect MMMM!" She pointed to the cake.

"MMMM?" Rarity asked in confusion.

"MMmhmm! I know the Cakes's cake is the best dessert in all of Equestria, I'm pretty sure they know it too!" She pointed down the hall in general.

"So?" Applejack asked.

"So?! ONE OF THEM IS GONNA SABATOGE THE CAKES'S CAKE TONIGHT!" Pinkie shouted in panic. "You have to help me stand guard!" The other mares looked at their hyper pink friend like she was crazy.

"Pinkie your overreacting." Twilight said to try and calm the pink mare down.

"Yeah, those chefs aren't meaning your cake any harm."

"But THEY ARE." Pinkie insisted.

"Fine, if YOU wanna stand guard, go for it. WE'RE going to bed." Rainbow Dash said before zipping past Pinkie Pie. One of her hooves going through her bouncy mane and temporarily making a hole. The other mares bid Pinkie goodnight before going to bed too.

"I'll show them." Pinkie Pie said confidently sitting on her hooves in front of the MMMM cake. "I'll stay up all night if I have too." She backed up to the wall. "Nothing and nopony can stop me from keeping you safe."

Later that night, sometime around midnight, Pinkie Pie is pacing back and forth in front of MMMM. A determined expression on her muzzle.

An hour and a half later, she's starting to feel sleepy, she dozes off momentarily.

ZIP

"Huh?" Pinkie Pie asks suddenly awake. "STOP YOU SABATUER!" She shouts galloping after the mysterious shadow she saw. She galloped all the way to the caboose, but when she got outside...

"I have you now!" The pink mare said as she got to the final car. But when she galloped outside, there was nopony there! "What?" The mare asked in confusion. She went back inside, only to find another pony in the window to the dessert car! Wearing a HAT! She raced after the mysterious pony, only to find it was the conductor. She knew that the conductor only had the Friendship Express on his mind as she saw him shoveling coal into the furnace.

"Probably just making his rounds." Pinkie Pie said as she made her way back to the dessert car.

She gasped as she opened the door assuming the worst. But MMMM was still there.

"Oh, thank Celestia your safe!" Pinkie told the cake. "But one of those bakers is mixing up something bad so I'm not letting you out of my sight no matter what." The mare then sat right on her flank. But suddenly, the shades of the windows lowered by themselves!

"Who turned off the moon?!" She heard hoofsteps. "Don't go near that cake thief!"

Chomp! Chewing noise!

"Stop Thief!"

BONK!

"Oh, are you okay Thief?" Pinkie asked in genuine concern.

Suddenly the shades went up again and Pinkie could see again. She growled as she opened the door to the corridor with the rooms. But no one was in sight.

"I KNEW I was gonna have to keep a close eye on you." Pinkie Pie said as she walked up to MMMM. "And that's just what I'm gonna do no matter what." The mare narrowed her eyes at the cake. She then got droopy eyes. Before she knew it she was snoring away.

In the morning, Pinkie woke to find herself curled up in front of MMMM. She scratched her face with her back hoof and yawned as she got up. Twilight yawned as she walked in to check on Pinkie and the cake when she gasped and said "Woah."

"I know." Pinkie said proudly. "I think some congratulations are in order for a job well done." The mare bragged.

"You may want to hold off on giving yourself an award just yet Pinkie." Twilight told her friend. "Look." She turned the cake around to show her.

"Look at wha-" The mare cut herself off and gasped in horror. THE CAKE HAD BEEN EATEN OFF OF!

Pinkie Pie screamed in horror.

The rest of their group and the other bakers came into the dessert car. "What's going on?" Applejack asked as she walked in with a still sleepy foal on her back. Harry was still droopy eyed with his hoof on her side. But widened his eyes when he saw the cake.

"What happened?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"The Cake's Marzipan Marscapone Mereignue Madness!" Pinkie Pie said woefully. "ITS BEEN MUTILATED!"

Everypony gasped. Even the othe bakers.

To Be Continued...

And here's part one. Hope you all enjoy this tasty arc.
