Helping Out

One particular day, the two unicorns, Jet Set and Upper Crust have decided to visit Ponyville for once in their lives. Even though they've never liked the place at first, they decided to make a visit nonetheless.

"We used to scoff at towns like this" Upper Crust reminded her husband. "I know," Jet Set said, "But now things are different." "Yes," Upper Crust said.

Soon, both unicorns caught the next train to Ponyville and they were on their way. Eventually, the two made it into Ponyville. "Well," Jet Set said, "I can't believe we've thought of this town as low-class. A dump."

"I can't believe we've ever though it that way," Upper Crust said, "Look at this place. Everypony here is happy." "Anyway," Jet Set said, "Let's go take a look around." That's what they did.

Soon, they came across a place in Ponyville called Sugarcube Corner. "Well," Jet Set said, "This looks like an interesting place in Ponyville." "Yes," Upper Crust said, "Let's go take a look."

So as they did that, they came across two earth ponies who run the place; one male and one female. "Why hello," Upper Crust said. "Well, it's nice to see you here," the female pony said in a cheery voice. "I know," Jet Set said, "So?"

"I'm Carrot Cake," the male pony said, "And this is my wife, Cup Cake." "Hi," the female pony said. "We're the Cakes," they both said at once. "Pleased to meet you two," Jet Set said. "This is my husband, Jet Set," Upper Crust said, "And I'm Upper Crust."

"Thank you my love," Jet Set said, "You've got a nice place." "Why thank you very much," Cup Cake said. "You see," Carrot Cake said, "We've been running Sugarcube Corner together for years and we've always had many wonderful memories working here. Well, almost."

"We see," Jet Set said. "Why don't you come inside and have a look around?" Cup Cake asked. "Sure," Jet Set replied. All four ponies walked inside.

However, Jet Set made a mistake by leaving the front door open, so as the four ponies had a conversation, no pony paid any attention to another pony who had walked into Sugarcube Corner.

The four ponies, Jet Set, Upper Crust, Cup Cake and Carrot Cake started next to a certain door. "You see here," Carrot Cake said, opening the door and showing the two unicorns the inside of a storage room, "Here are all of the cakes we've made this morning."

"Wow," Jet Set thought, looking at the storage room, all packed with brightly colored cakes. "They're ready for Princess Celestia's party tomorrow," Cup Cake said. "We see," Upper Crust said.

"It's just that we've never had any cakes in our lives," Jet Set explained. "I see," Carrot Cake said. "Cakes aren't the thing for you upper-class ponies of Canterlot. "Uh-huh," Upper Crust replied in a disappointed tone of voice. Jet Set and Upper Crust explained everything about their class.

"We see," Cup Cake said. "But we're trying to change now," Jet Set said. "Right," Upper Crust agreed, "We have learned our lessons now." "That's really nice of you," Cup Cake said.

"You see," Carrot Cake said, "We're doing our best to work here. We now have two babies to take care of. Right now, they're with Pinkie Pie." "I see," Upper Crust said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a kid of our own?"

"Yes," Jet Set agreed. "Anyway, we should get going," Upper Crust said. "Well, thanks for stopping by," Carrot Cake said. "You're welcome," Jet Set said, "It was nice visiting you."

"Goodbye," Upper Crust said as the two left. By now, Jet Set noticed the wide open door. "Oops," Jet Set thought to himself.

Nonetheless, the two left Sugarcube Corner and were on their way. "They're nice ponies," Upper Crust said. "Yes," Jet Set replied. "They've had a much happier lives than we've had," Upper Crust said.

"I know," Jet Set said. Just then, Jet Set and Upper Crust heard the Cakes screaming from inside Sugarcube Corner. "What's going on?" Upper Crust asked as soon as she heard the screaming.

"I'm not sure," Jet Set answered, "Come on! I have a guess!" Both unicorns ran back to Sugarcube Corner.

They both saw Carrot Cake and Cup Cake in a state of horror and were both staring in the storage room where they had all of the cakes ready for Princess Celestia's party. All of the cakes that they had ready to go, all of the cakes they had finished just this morning, all have been eaten.

"Uh oh," Jet Set thought. There in the middle was an overweight pony. "That pony ate all of the cakes!" Carrot Cake exclaimed. "OHHH!" Cup Cake groaned as she fainted.

"What?" the overweight pony said, "What are you doing in my bathroom?" Jet Set and Upper Crust knew who the pony is. "Hey, that's the pony who given us that failed excuse for a map!" Upper Crust said, looking at the cutie mark on the overweigh pony.

"You know him?" Carrot Cake asked. "Yes," Jet Set answered. "Mountain Moron," Jet Set and Upper Crust said together. "What?" Cup Cake said, immediately waking up.

"He doesn't have the intelligence to write a good map," Jet Set explained. "And he doesn't know his own name," Upper Crust said, "Moral, my hoof!" "And I had a feeling that he lacked the intelligence to know that those cakes were not for him!" Jet Set said.

"This is a disaster!" Carrot Cake exclaimed, "How on Earth?" "Oh dear," Jet Set said, "I've left the front door open and that idiot walked inside and did what he had just done."

"Now we're not ready for the party tomorrow!" Cup Cake cried. "Don't worry," Upper Crust said, "We can fix this. Let's just make more cakes." "If you say so," Carrot Cake said.

"Now before we do," Upper Crust said, "Darling, let's kick that fat boy out first!" "Right with you, my love!" Jet Set agreed and the two used their magic to throw the now obese Mountain Moron out of Sugarcube Corner.

"What was that all about?" Mountain Moron asked, still having no idea what had happened. "Look, Silver Spoon," Diamond Tiara said to her friend, Silver Spoon, "I overly-sized big fat mule!" "I see," Silver Spoon replied, "Wow, I'd never known ponies like him could get that fat."

Back in Sugarcube Corner, all four ponies got ready to make a lot of cakes. "Just because we'd never had any cakes in our lives doesn't mean no pony can have cakes!" Jet Set said, "We're not going to let that happen! Now let's go!" "Ok," Carrot Cake said.

A lot of time had been spent on making cakes; it was because Jet Set and Upper Crust had no experience with making cakes, of course. So Carrot Cake and Cup Cakes had to help them. The first set of cakes that Jet Set and Upper Crust had made were dark in colors. But Cup Cake had helped them with using the brightest colors that they had.

"Sorry," Upper Crust said. "No problem," Cup Cake said, "This is your first time in making cakes. We understand." "I know," Jet Set said. So all four continued to make many cakes for the party.

It was tiring for the four, but it was a lot of fun for them, too. Soon, Jet Set and Upper Crust, Carrot Cake and Cup Cake had many cakes ready for Princess Celestia's party. "We've done it together," Jet Set said.

"Right, my love," Upper Crust agreed. "Thank you," Carrot Cake said with a sigh of relief. "No problem," Jet Set said. "We should get going," Upper Crust said, "To catch the last train to Canterlot."

"Right, my love," Jet Set agreed, "Glad we could help you. Sorry about my mistake." "No problem now," Cup Cake said, "Sorry you'd had to spend all of your day helping us." "It's no problem," Upper Crust said.

The four said their goodbyes and Jet Set and Upper Crust left for home. "Next time," Upper Crust said, "Let's explore some more." "Right," Jet Set agreed.

Back in Sugarcube Corner, the now tired Carrot Cake and Cup Cake were just about to relax when Pinkie Pie arrived with their babies, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake.

"Hello!" Pinkie Pie called, "I'm back!" "Oh good," Carrot Cake said, "Welcome back." "We had a fun-tastic day!" Pinkie Pie explained, "We've had fun here and had fun there! Everywhere! You must be tired! On my way home, I saw this really big fat pony. Must have been one of your customers, because it looked like he ate a lot of cakes!"

"He's not really our customer," Cup Cake said. "I did see Applejack with him," Pinkie Pie said, "I wonder what she'd going to do with him. What do you think Pumpkin and Pound Cake?" The two babies babbled to say "I don't know."

"Oh well," Pinkie Pie said. "Can we relax?" Carrot Cake said, "It's been a long day for us?" "Sure," Pinkie Pie said, "I'll have more fun with the babies!"

So Pinkie Pie continued to play with the babies while Carrot Cake and Cup Cakes relaxed for the rest of the day. By the end of the day, Jet Set and Upper Crust made it back to Canterlot.
