Spike woke up in a cold sweat and oddly enough in Pinkie Pie’s arms as she cradled him. He wormed his way free of her grasp and backed into the corner furthest from her.

“Spike, I’m so glad you’re okay. You looked like you had the worst nightmare.” The pink mare said with obvious concern. She took a step toward Spike.

“Stay back or so help me I’ll roast you where you stand,” Spike said quickly. Pinkie Pie looked visibly hurt by Spike’s threat. Spike would have felt bad if he wasn’t so busy fearing for his life.

“I’m your friend, Spike. Why would you hurt me?” Pinkie Pie said confused. She knew he had every right to be mad at her but threatening to burn her was a little more than she expected.

“You’re trying to kill me. I know your game. You want to off me because I broke my promise to Twilight. Because I tried to hide the truth that I always thought that promise was stupid and even though I agreed to it, it was because I felt really bad about what happened at the time and couldn’t say no.” Spike said quickly. Pinkie Pie looked even more dejected than before. Spike could swear her hair lost some of its bounce as well, but this only made him more suspicious of her.

“I’d never kill anyone, Spike. Why would you think I’d do such a thing?” Pinkie Pie asked. She was clearly saddened by the accusation.

“I… I don’t know, but everything you did today was absolutely insane. Not to mention, you forced me to play this stupid game.” Spike said. He realized the dream was the main reason for his current fear of the earth pony, but he couldn’t trust her because of everything she put him through.

“Let me explain myself. I set all this up to fulfill a special order of cupcakes that require something special. I knew you wouldn‘t help me unless I tricked you. Does your stomach area hurt anymore?” Pinkie Pie asked. Spike hadn’t noticed because he was too busy running from Pinkie, but the pain was completely gone. He felt fine again.

“What happened? I feel fine now.” Spike said placing a hand on his gut. He still didn’t trust Pinkie Pie though.

“I reversed it with that shot, but I still need to get the ingredient from you to make the cupcakes.” Pinkie Pie said.

“What ingredient?” Spike said angrily.

“The seed of a mature dragon but since you‘re the only dragon I know who wouldn’t devour me for trying to take it. I had to use you.” Pinkie Pie said nervously.

“So let me get this straight. When you asked me to make cupcakes, this is what you meant.” Spike said raising his hands in an exaggerated manner.

“Yeah, but I also helped you with your revolution. You would have never slept with any of those ponies if it weren’t for me.” Pinkie Pie said defending herself.

“How’d you even know about it?” Spike asked.

“My Pinkie Sense let me know something big was going on. I followed my twitches till they lead me to your house. I thought someone new moving in was the big news. I didn’t expect to find you living there, but that wasn’t it either because my twitches still bothered me. After your housewarming party, I hid and watched hoping to see why my Pinkie sense led me to you. That’s when I saw you and Luna talking about a revolution. I knew you were up to something but I didn’t know what.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Wait a minute! So you’ve been spying on me ever since I moved into my house?” Spike asked even angrier than before. He was no longer scared as he turned red with anger.

“You have to understand, Spike. Whatever you were doing was going to have a huge effect on Ponyville. I just had to know what you were up to so I followed you around and saw what you were doing around town. I even asked Twilight what you were doing, but you gave her some bogus story about doing research. That‘s how I knew you didn‘t want her to know about it.” Pinkie Pie said. Spike was so furious he was shaking.

“We’re done, Pinkie Pie. As far as I’m concerned, our friendship is through.” Spike muttered through barely contained rage.

“You don’t want to be my friend anymore,” She said whimpering as her hair deflated and her coat turn a duller shade of pink. Spike didn’t say anything as he exited the tree house and looked up at the night sky. He figured he’d wait till he got home to tell Luna about this. Right now, he didn’t want to talk to anyone at the moment.

Spike yawned as he reached his home with no fuss. He was ready to put this entire day behind him when he saw a pink box with a note on it at his doorstep. The dragon was sorely tempted to ignore it and walk into his home unimpeded. Instead he opened it and saw a cake with white and pink icing with the words “Forgive me” written on the top with a picture of a sad pink pony underneath the message. Spike couldn’t help but be a little touched by the gift and a little confused as to how she managed to make it in the time it took him to get home. He opened the note and all it contained was his name written in pink.

He closed the box and carried it inside with him as he entered his home. He removed the round cake from the box and felt a different kind of rumbling from his stomach than the ones that plagued him earlier today. It finally hit him that he had been so busy running around town that he had forgotten to eat anything. He looked at the cake on the table. Spike grabbed a knife and plate from his cabinet and cut himself a huge slice of cake. He sat at the table and admired the dessert in front of his eyes. The cake smelled absolutely divine and felt soft and light in his claws as he prepared to take a huge bite but something deep down inside of him kept him from enjoying the delicious treat. He tried to ignore whatever it was as he tried to eat the treat only to be stopped by something he couldn’t quite explain.

He stared at the cake for the longest time when he heard someone behind him call his name. He turned to find Luna standing in the door of the kitchen. Her beautiful blue eyes locked on the purple dragon staring at the cake on the table.

“Hey, you never contacted me after you sent my guard back, so I took a chance and decided to look for you. I tried the ear thing but the effect seemed to wear off. Is everything okay?” She said carefully approaching Spike. Considering the fact that she wasn’t going crazy around him, she would have assumed everything was alright except Spike seemed conflicted.

“Yeah….No…. I don’t know.” Spike said as he buried his head in his arms on the table.

“Do you want to talk about what happened with Pinkie?” She said looking at the cake on the table. Spike was reluctant at first, but he finally explained what happened in the tree house. Luna spoke up after Spike finished his tale.

“You don’t think you were a little harsh back there? I mean today wasn’t all that bad was it. She sounds like she was trying to help you in her own weird way.” Luna said sympathizing with the earth pony, but this only angered Spike.

“She used me and you’re taking her side!” He shouted at her causing Luna to take a step back. Luna looked visibly hurt by Spike’s outburst. Spike felt that feeling again and slowly realized that it was guilt that plagued him. He felt bad about the way he treated Pinkie and now Luna. Spike sighed at the realization.

“I’m sorry, Luna. I guess I’m just worked up is all. I was so mad at Pinkie and now I just feel bad about the way I acted towards her.” Spike said rubbing the back of his head.

“Maybe you should go to Pinkie Pie and apologize. I’m sure you’ll feel better if you just let her know that you overreacted.” Luna said.

“I guess I don’t have a choice. I won’t be able to do anything till I get this off my chest. I’m going to go talk to Pinkie Pie about this whole mess. Thanks for talking to me, Luna” Spike said leaving his home.

“Wait a second, Spike! Did anything happen between you and the guard? He said it was a routine escort but I thought I‘d ask you just in case.” Luna asked quickly. Spike just smiled.

“Nothing happened. He flew me to the farm and that was it.” Spike said leaving out the small detail that he plotted his death along the way.

“Are you sure nothing happened?” Luna asked again.

“Yep.” Spike said hoping she’d buy it.

“I guess I‘ll take your word for it. I‘ll see you later, Spike.” Luna said as she teleported away.

Spike left for Sugarcube Corner immediately after Luna left. He found the bakery closed but the door didn’t exactly have a lock so he waltzed in. It was too dark to make out anything but Spike could hear A soft crying coming from upstairs. He tiptoed upstairs and heard voices coming from behind Pinkie‘s door. They weren’t the voices of the Cakes either.

“It’s not your fault Spike had to act like a big jerk.” One of the voices said sounding really tough.

“Don‘t you think that‘s a little mean, Rocky.” Pinkie Pie said defending her friend. Spike peeked through the door to see Pinkie laying on her bed with a pile of rocks, a bucket of turnips, a lint ball, and a bag of flour all sitting around her in stools. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Pinkie Pie was actually talking to the items and making voices for them as well. It would have been hysterical if she wasn’t so depressed.

“I say jerk fit’s the bill if you ask me.” The lint said in a fancy voice as Pinkie pushed the chair making it move.

“Oui! Sir LintsaLot is absolutely correct. He agreed to help you make cupcakes and gets mad at you for trying to make it interesting with a little game. That sounds like a jerk to me.” The bag of flour said in a girly French accent.

“Maybe I did take it a little too far.” Pinkie Pie said sadly.

“If anyone took anything too far, it was Spike. He didn’t have to get so mad.” The turnips said coming to her defense.

“What kind of jerk gets mad at you for playing a game!” Rocky said.

“You’re right! I was just trying to have some fun and it’s not like he got seriously hurt or anything. He had some nerve getting all worked up like that.” Pinkie Pie said agreeing with the inanimate objects. Spike decided to intervene before the conversation turned any uglier.

“Hey there, Pinkie Pie!” Spike said nervously pushing the door opened. He walked towards her only to have her push the rocks in front of him.

“Beat it, shorty!” Rocky said starting to lean over Spike.

“Can we cut the creepy puppet show act, Pinkie?” Spike said moving around Rocky.

“What are you talking about? I’m just talking to my real friends who don’t get mad at me for trying to help them.” Pinkie Pie said as she pushed the lint ball in Spike’s face.

“I suggest you respect the lady’s privacy and leave immediately.” Sir LintsaLot said only to have Spike blow him away with a breath of air.

“Come on, Pink-” Spike was interrupted by the bucket of turnips.

“Leave her alone!” Mr. Turnips said only to have Spike push the bucket to the floor spilling turnips all over the floor.

“Oh no! He killed Monsieur Turnips. Help! Help!” Madam LeFlour cried out.

Spike had enough of this nonsense as he jumped on the bed and pinned Pinkie down. He held her arms down so she couldn’t continue.

“Will you just listen to me for two seconds, Pinkie?” Spike said straddling an unwilling Pinkie Pie who struggled against him.

“ No, you’re just going to be mean to me again.” Pinkie Pie said fighting against his grip.

“I wanted to say I’m sorry,” Spike said quickly. Before he completely lost his hold. She stopped and they stared into each other’s eyes.

“So you’re not mad at me anymore?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“No, I’m not.” Spike said releasing her arms.

“So you’ll help me make the cupcakes then?” Pinkie asked wrapping her hooves around Spike‘s head pulling his face close to her‘s.

“Sure, I guess.” Spike said as he could feel the soft warmth of her fur beneath him.

Pinkie pulled Spike’s lips into hers as they kissed. He felt her tongue find it’s way to his almost immediately as they rolled around on her bed. Spike pulled back and saw Pinkie’s dull coat instantly turn back to it’s original bright pink color. Her hair seemed to bounce back to life as well. Spike was about to go in for another kiss when Pinkie stopped him.

“We can’t do it here. The Cake will hear us.” Pinkie said referring to the owners who were sleeping nearby.

“So my place then?” Spike suggested.

“I have a little place setup in the basement for when me and Rainbow Dash fool around. Come on, follow me.” Pinkie said rolling off the bed.

“You and Rainbow Dash must fool around a lot.” Spike said following her. He never noticed how round and sexy her flanks looked when she bounced up and down until now.

“ It’s not serious or anything. Just a little fun between friends.” She said wiggling her rear at Spike letting him know his leering gaze didn’t go unnoticed. Spike blushed as they made their way down stairs at getting caught.

“S-so can I ask you who ordered these special cupcakes?” Spike asked. Pinkie turned around and faced Spike.

“No can do, silly. I made a Pinkie Pie promise not to reveal their name.” Pinkie Pie said smiling at Spike staring into his eyes. Just like this morning, he couldn’t read her mind. She turned back around and Spike gave up trying to figure out as they moved on.

“I guess I understand that, but can you tell me why they want the cupcakes?” Spike asked as they reached the ground floor. Pinkie suddenly stopped without turning this time. He couldn’t see much but could tell she was far more serious than before.

“I can tell you that much I guess. A cupcake made with a dragon’s seed produces a powerful feeling of happiness to wash over the pony who eats them. It’s based off an ancient recipe that was given to me by the client. Apparently a pony once fell in love with a dragon who was about to enter a deep hibernation, he knew she would live no more after he woke up. So he instructed her to take his essence and use it to bake the treats she loved so much. She took this to heart and made cupcakes. As she ate the cupcakes, she felt the love and warmth of the dragon’s touch in her loneliest moments. Even as she lay dying, she could still feel his gentleness in her final moments. She never recorded the recipe, but her story was passed on and eventually recorded. My client came across it and wanted me to try to recreate it.” Pinkie finished her tale. Spike couldn’t see too well through the darkness but it sounded like Pinkie may have been crying a little. He waited a little while before Pinkie started walking again.

“Whoa! So the client wants the cupcake so they can feel all warm and fuzzy. Is this pony so lonely they need such a thing?” Spike said following her to a door in what he assumed to be the kitchen.

“She’s not lonely so much as she is desperate.” Pinkie Pie said. Spike’s curiosity increased as to who this client really was.

“Do I know her?” Spike asked. Pinkie went motionless as she opened the door.

“I can’t tell you that either. Grab my tail.” She said placing her poofy tail in his face.

“Huh!” Spike looked confused as he saw her tail suddenly appear out of nowhere.

“You can’t walk downstairs in the dark like me. It’s too dangerous for someone who doesn’t know it by memory. You have to grab my tail so you won’t fall. Dashie almost broke her leg when she tried to do it.” Pinkie said as she shook her tail in his face. Spike grabbed it and noticed the pink pony shiver a little bit.

“Are you okay, Pinkie?” Spike asked.

“I’m fine, just watch your step.” Pinkie said dismissing his worries. Spike walked through the darkness guided by Pinkie’s tail. He noticed her body shiver a few times as they made there way downstairs. As they reached the bottom of the stairs, Spike let go of her tail. There weren’t any light sources down here so he was completely blind. He wandered around in the dark for a bit before he heard a clicking sound followed by a single light filling the room.

“Here we are!” Pinkie said happily. Spike didn’t see what the big deal was. It was a room with shelves stocked with baking supplies and a dirt floor.

“ So were going to do it here?” Spike asked feeling a little less enthusiastic about this whole thing. Pinkie Pie just laughed and walked over to the only wall that wasn’t covered in shelves. She pushed on one particular part of the wall causing part of the wall to fall out. Spike looked on in awe as a heart shaped bed appeared long with an assortment of devices hanging above it. He could only assume they were sex toys.

“Well what do you think of my secret love alcove?” Pinkie said standing next to the bed with a proud smile.

“I think you do more than fool around with Rainbow Dash down here.” Spike said staring at the elaborate setup.

“I think you’re about to find out.” Pinkie said seductively as she pulled Spike forward on to the bed. Spike fell next to Pinkie and picked up where they left off upstairs by bringing his mouth to hers in a sloppy exchange of tongues. Spike felt his erection appear almost immediately. He was more excited than he could ever remember being.

Pinkie noticed it and placed her hooves on it and stroking it. She broke the kiss and pushed Spike on his back. She moved to the throbbing purple protrusion giving it a tentative lick that caused Spike to shudder a little bit. He normally wasn’t so sensitive to such a thing, but then again he had been having sex all day without any kind of release. Pinkie Pie smiled at Spike’s reaction.

“Do you like it when I do that?” Pinkie asked in a playful voice. Spike could only nod as she stroked his warm cock. She gave him a devious smile as she went back down bringing her tongue all the way down and back up again. She loved the warmth that emanated from his body as she li. It was unlike any other warmth she had felt before. It made her body tingle just to be in contact with his member. She couldn’t hold back any longer as she placed her mouth on his cock. Spike arched his hips upward in pleasure causing Pinkie to gag a little as his cock hit the back of her throat. She pulled her head up and coughed for a bit as Spike looked on in shock.

“I’m sorry, Pinkie Pie. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Are you ok?” Spike said sitting up and rubbing her back. Spike found his worries misplaced as Pinkie wasted no time going back down taking as much as she could. Spike braced himself as he sat back and saw his cock almost completely disappear into her mouth. The pleasure he felt was indescribable. He remembered other mares going down on him but none of them could hold a candle to Pinkie Pie’s technique. The way her tongue still moved despite her mouth being stuffed was absolutely heavenly. He looked down at the mare and watched her bob up and down at a steady motion. Spike was about to reach his limit when Pinkie suddenly pulled back and gasped for air. Spike was grateful that she had stopped when she did. He couldn’t muster the strength to tell her to stop.

“That was intense.” Spike said complimenting her. Pinkie gave him a coy little smile.

“I almost got a little carried away back there. You should have told me you were about to cum, silly.” Pinkie said trying to catch her breath.

“It was so good I couldn’t help myself.” Spike said causing Pinkie Pie to jump on Spike giving him a big hug.

“I’m glad you liked it. Now go get a bowl from the kitchen while I get ready.” Pinkie said releasing her hold and pushing Spike out of bed.

“Why do I have to get the bowl?” Spike complained.

“You need to give that thing a rest. I don’t want you to cum before I had my fun, silly.” Pinkie said referring to his massive erection. Spike figured she had a point. He wouldn’t last too much longer if they continued.

“Alright, where are the bowls anyway?” Spike asked.

“Check the cabinet next to the oven and be careful going up the stairs. A few of the steps are broken.” Pinkie said as she looked at the wall of toys above her bed.

“What the heck are you going to do?” Spike asked watching her peruse her wide selection.

“It’s a surprise. Now go and get the bowl already.” Pinkie said shooing him away. Spike walked upstairs and noticed that few of the steps were broken. He wondered why Pinkie made him grab her tail when he made it upstairs. He didn’t bother turning on the light on in the kitchen. He remembered where the oven was and found the item he was sent to retrieve when he heard a voice and the lights come on suddenly.

“Pinkie Pie, is that you?” The intruder asked. Spike placed the bowl over his erection and turned to face the newcomer.

“Rainbow Dash!”

“Spike!”

They both said spotting each other in the brightly lit kitchen. They were both at a loss for words before Rainbow Dash finally spoke up.

“What are you doing here and what‘s with the bowl?” Rainbow Dash said angrily as she stepped forward. The pegasus was obviously not happy to find the dragon walking around the Cakes’ kitchen in the middle of the night. Spike panicked for a second before realizing he had the perfect alibi.

“I’m helping Pinkie bake cupcakes. What are you doing here?” Spike asked turning the tables on the mare. Rainbow Dash flinched at the question.

“I…uhhh… wanted to… talk to Pinkie Pie. Yep, I wanted to talk to her. That‘s all.” Rainbow Dash said nervously. Spike could tell it was an obvious lie.

“About what?” Spike asked continuing his line of questions. He had her on the defensive and he knew it. He just had to get her to leave before Pinkie came upstairs and things got complicated.

“Girl stuff! Yeah, I wanted to talk to her about girl stuff. Hey, wait a minute! If you’re making cupcakes, why were the lights off when I came in to the kitchen?” Rainbow Dash said poking a huge hole in Spike’s story. The dragon was on his heels as Rainbow Dash came back with an excellent counter. He had to think of a good reason the lights were off in the kitchen when he was supposed to be baking.

“We turned them off so we wouldn’t wake the Cakes’ up.” Spike said quickly. Rainbow Dash didn’t seemed to impressed by the reason.

“Oh yeah! Where’s Pinkie Pie then? If you’re helping her bake, she should be in the kitchen with you then.” Rainbow Dash said stepping forward. She had the upper hoof and she let him know it. Spike wasn’t ready to back down though.

“She’s downstairs in the basement getting supplies.” Spike said stepping forward facing Rainbow Dash in the center of the kitchen.

“Oh yeah! Prove it!” Rainbow Dash said as the two faced off like two duelists waiting for an opening. Before Spike could say anything, Pinkie brought the face off to a conclusion without even being aware of Rainbow Dash’s presence.

“Did you get the bowl?” Pinkie called from the basement. Spike smiled as he watched Rainbow Dash frown. Pinkie Pie had all but verified his claims of helping her by asking about the bowl, and the fact that she asked from the basement confirmed the fact that she was actually down there. Spike had all but proved everything he had just said. Rainbow Dash stood there with a stunned look on her face. She wouldn’t say it out loud, but she somehow felt like she had lost to him in some way.

“W-Whatever, I guess I’ll come back later.” Rainbow Dash said as she left the bakery in a blue blur. Spike ran back downstairs and found Pinkie holding a piece of string in her mouth.

“It’s about time you showed up. What took you so long and why are you holding the bowl like that?” Pinkie Pie asked. Spike told her what happened upstairs causing Pinkie to laugh.

“Oh, that Dashie! She probably dropped by to blow off some steam. I’ll deal with her later, but I’m with you right now. So put the bowl on the bed and come here. I have a special surprise for you.” She said patting the spot she wanted Spike to sit. Spike did as she told and jumped on the bed. Pinkie immediately went down on Spike one more time. Spike’s head jerked up instinctively as Pinkie’s tongue worked it’s magic. It wasn’t as good as last time but it still felt great to have her tongue move across his dick. To Spike’s disappointment, Pinkie stopped as soon as she began.

“There it’s all done.” Pinkie Pie said inspecting her work. Spike looked down to see the piece of string that was in her mouth wrapped tightly around his dick just below the tip in a nice little bow.

“You did that with just your tongue?” Spike asked amazed at her skill.

“Yep! It’s just a little trick.” Pinkie Pie said.

“But why’d you tie a bow around me?” Spike asked.

“It’s to keep you from coming. When were done we can untie the knot and collect in all in one fell swoop.” Pinkie Pie said excitedly.

“Oh, I get it.” Spike said looking down at the piece of rope.

“Then come here and give me your best shot.” Pinkie said laying on her side with one leg up presenting her beautiful pink pussy which was already wet. Spike wasted no time hopping on her and lining his cock up with her entrance. He could feel her moist entrance welcome him inside as he slid himself in. Spike could feel her body wrapping itself around him as he moved deeper inside.

“Oooh! That feels great, Spike.” Pinkie said moaning. She could feel her body’s temperature increase as she felt Spike get deeper and deeper with each second. Spike felt like he couldn’t last too much longer and they had just begun. He hoped the string worked or it’d be a pretty short night. Spike wrapped his arms around her raised leg and started to work his hips.

Pinkie moaned loudly as Spike started to pick up speed. She started to move her body in a rhythm matching Spike’s own. Her body felt like it was on fire as Spike thrust himself into her softness. Spike suddenly pulled out causing Pinkie Pie to frown.

“Awww! Why’d you stop, Spike? It was just getting good.” Pinkie Pie said annoyed at the interruption.

“I got scared and thought I was going to cum. I didn’t want to…… you know.” Spike said referring to the fact that he could impregnate Pinkie. Pinkie brought a hoof to her chin when a solution came to her.

“Then do me right here.” Pinkie said pointing to her ass.

Spike was about to ask her if she was sure, but the pink pony had already managed to roll onto her stomach and line up her butt with the tip of Spike’s cock. Spike figured that her impatience made it clear that she was ready to continue and forced himself inside Pinkie’s ass. He once again felt like he was on the edge of an orgasm that would not come. He remembered feeling this way for only a few seconds when he was with someone else but the feeling was drawn out with the string tied around his shaft. The feeling of Pinkie’s tight little hole as his cock began to penetrate her ass was multiplied by his own sensitivity.

Pinkie moaned loudly as Spike bucked his hips into her body. She was could feel the temperaure of Spike’s cock rise as he moved with more and more energy. She could tell Spike would have blown his load along time ago. She felt her own orgasm coming as Spike’s hot thing pounded her little asshole.

“Grab my tail, Spike!” Pinkie screamed. Spike did as she said without question as he grabbed her tail at it’s base. Her tail stood up as Spike felt her hole clinch his cock with great force as her body shook and her pussy let out a wave of juices. Pinkie craned her neck towards the ceiling shouting the dragon’s name before letting her face fall on to the sheets. Spike pulled himself from Pinkie’s butt and looked down at his cock. His glistening cock looked engorged as the string held his orgasm at bay.

“I think you’re about ready, Spikey,” Pinkie Pie said turning around and closely inspecting Spike‘s cock. Pinkie used hooves to pull the knot loose. Spike could barely hold himself back as the string was released.

“Hurry up, Pinkie!” Spike said quickly. Pinkie grabbed the bowl and placed it in front of Spike. The dragon didn’t disappoint as he released the contents of what was a day of frustration into the big bowl. Spike had the best orgasm he had ever experienced. Everything seemed to slow down for Spike as he released spurt after spurt into the bowl each one bringing its own powerful wave of pleasure. The dragon felt his legs start to give as he finally finished after what was the best minute of his life. Spike fell backwards on the bed with a huge smile on his face.

“Pinkie,” Spike said as he suddenly felt really exhausted.

“Yeah, Spike,” Pinkie asked looking up from the bowl. She had been more than pleased with the amount Spike gave her.

“Thanks… for today.” Spike asked as his eyes started to close. Pinkie placed the bowl to the side and moved over Spike, She placed a small kiss on his forehead and smiled.

“Anytime, Spike.” She whispered as he fell asleep. Pinkie balanced the bowl on her back and walked upstairs to begin cooking. After a few hours of cooking, Pinkie had more than enough to please her client. She decorated the tops with purple and green icing. She looked at the cupcakes with curiosity as she had not tasted them. She’d usually try at least one cupcake when she made a batch but it didn’t seem right to eat one this time. Despite how they seemed to glow faintly at the center with a warmth that felt familiar and pleasurable. She looked at the cupcakes with drooling lust. They seemed to call for her as they rested on the stove cooling from just being cooked. She took one in her hooves and held the warm item close to her face. She told herself that it was okay just to hold one. As she looked at the treat, her stomach started growling loudly.

“No, I can’t. They aren’t meant for me.” Pinkie Pie said aloud as she held the cupcake away from herself. Still the warm feeling in her hooves kept her from putting them down completely. She tried to look away from the item, but she found her eyes wandering back to the item.

“Maybe I should… No, I can’t. It’s not right, but if they tasted horrible, it wouldn’t be right to give them away.” She told herself. Pinkie could feel her willpower fading as she brought the treat to her drooling maw when a flash of light filled the room for a second startling her. She fumbled around with the cupcake for a second before finally catching it unharmed.

“Is something wrong?” The guest asked with a smile on her face that seemed to already know.

“P-Princess Celestia! I didn’t expect you so soon.” Pinkie Pie said placing the cupcake back before bowing.

“I see everything went according to plan.” The white winged pegasus said standing before Pinkie.

“Yes, your highness. The plan went off without a hitch. It’s like you knew exactly what was going to happen.” Pinkie Pie said in awe of her majesty. Princess Celestia laughed a bit at this.

“It becomes easy to predict the actions and intentions of others when you’ve been around for as long I have. Compared to keeping the peace and safety of Equestria, this was actually child’s play.” The princess said. Pinkie was confused by this statement.

“But Equestria is so peaceful. I can’t imagine it being that hard to keep the peace.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Tell me Pinkie Pie. Have you ever heard of any groups trying to overthrow me?” Princess Celestia asked with a joyful smile.

“Gosh, I can’t say I have.” Pinkie said scratching her head trying to think about the question.

“Don’t you find it strange that as long as I have ruled that you’ve never heard of any group or organization trying to put an end to my rule?” Princess Celestia asked.

“I never thought of it like that.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Exactly. So these are the cupcakes?” The princess said with walking over to the treats.

“Yep, I was able to make enough to fulfill the order and then some, your highness.” Pinkie Pie said proudly.

“That’s wonderful, Pinkie. How many did you make exactly?” Princess Celestia asked leaning forward. Pinkie Pie let a nervous smile appear on her face.

“I made three dozen cupcakes, your majesty.” Pinkie Pie said looking at them all.

“That’s a dozen more than I needed. For helping me with my present, I shall keep my end of the bargain and make you the official party planner for my sister’s birthday next week.” Princess Celestia said.

“Oh, thank you, your highness! I promise to make it the biggest and bestest party ever.” Pinkie Pie said bowing for the princess once more.

“As promised, you have the resources of the castle at your disposal. I‘ll send word to Canterlot that Luna‘s birthday will officially be held in Ponyville this year.” The princess said.

“I won’t let you down.” Pinkie Pie said rising and saluting.

“I have faith that you’ll throw an excellent party, Pinkie. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must be on my way.” Princess Celestia said as she levitated the boxes containing the cupcakes next to her. Pinkie watched as the treats passed by her nose. She really wanted to try one and her face showed it. As she watched the princess and the cupcakes disappear, she couldn’t help but regret not eating one when she had the chance. She was about to leave the kitchen to go take Spike back home when she saw a small flash of light out of the corner of her eye. It was a single cupcake with purple and green icing. She hopped over to the treat in an instant and held it once again.

“Thank you, princess.” Pinkie Pie said aloud. She doubted the princess could hear her but she thought she should still say it. She wasted no time placing the cupcake in her mouth. As soon as the treat hit her tongue, she didn’t notice any noticeable difference from any other cupcake she had eaten. It was good but nothing special like she was expecting. She swallowed the treat and wondered if the recipe had gone wrong or something when she felt a feeling that surprised her. It was a warm and fuzzy feeling that made her moan. It wasn’t a sexual feeling though. It was like sitting next to a fire after being out in the snow. The feeling was brief yet powerful. After a few seconds, she could no longer feel the cupcake’s magic. She smiled at how Luna would react when she got her sister’s gift.

She was glad that the princess took the cupcakes. If she had more, she might be tempted to eat them as well. A thought crossed Pinkie’s mind at that moment.

“Did she pick up the cupcakes because she knew I wouldn’t be able to help myself?” Pinkie thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Spike was tossing and turning in his sleep. It was another bad dream. It was worse than the last one. He was in a courtroom. Everypony he had ever slept with was on the jury, except for Pinkie who was the bailiff. Suddenly, he was sitting on the stand when he heard the judge’s voice.

“How do you plead to the charges before you?” Twilight Sparkle said holding a gavel with her magic. She said it with clear disdain in her voice.

“Wh-What charges? I don’t understand.” Spike said looking up at his friend.

“You are charged with the committing lewd and perverted acts. How do you plead?” Twilight said as she gave him a hard look. It was clear the judge was already against him.

“He’s totally guilty.” Diamond Tiara shouted from the jury. Suddenly, the audience started murmuring loudly. Twilight brought the gavel down hard causing the room to go quiet and Spike to place his hands over his ears.

“Order in the court! The defendant will quit stalling and answer the question.” Twilight said sternly. Spike didn’t know what to say. Everyone in the courtroom seem to be glaring at him like he was some reprehensible criminal.

“N-not guilty.” He squeaked in a small voice. The courtroom was in an uproar at his answer. The audience of ponies from Ponyville started shouting and throwing vegetables at the dragon who could only raise his claws in defense.

“ORDER! ORDER, I SAY! I WILL NOT HAVE CHAOS IN MY COURTROOM!” Twilight shouted banging the gavel so loudly that Spike’s ears were ringing. As soon as it was quiet enough to talk, Spike started to plead his case.

“Ok, I may have had sex, but is that a crime? I did nothing wrong.” Spike said.

“Did you or didn’t make a promise not to refrain from such behavior for the rest of your life?” Judge Sparkle asked.

“I did but-” Spike was interrupted as the gavel came down hard once again causing to grasp the stand for balance.

“ A clear admission of guilt. Jury! What is your verdict?” Twilight shouted.

“GUILTY!” They all shouted in unison. An evil smile crept across Twilight’s face at hearing this.

“I hereby sentence the defendant to eternal banishment! May Celestia have mercy on your soul, Spike.” Twilight banged her gavel once more as the ground disappeared from Spike’s feet and he fell into a deep abyss.

Spike woke up and found himself in a cold sweat. He was still in the basement of Sugarcube Corner. He looked around for a moment trying to get his bearings after such a dream. He looked at his claws as he realized what these dreams were trying to tell him. The guilt he should have felt long ago had finally surfaced. It could no longer be buried away like before.

“I can’t just ignore it anymore. I have to tell her everything.”
