I'd just like to say that this is my first attempt at writing a fanfic. All reviews are welcome and I would appreciate it if everyone who reads this reviews it. That being said enjoy the (admittedly slow building) Cupcakes sequel!

Edit: For those joining us later in the game, I know the first couple of chapters kinda stink but I'm too lazy to redo them. I can promise you though that this gets exponentially better as you go in, so many wists and turns, and the writing itself grows as I become used to the fanfic world I've created. So push through, it's worth it. Also, watch out cuz my AN are always really long at the end.

Morning dawned in Ponyville as the weather team was busy filling the sky with clouds for the scheduled rain that would come later that evening. Twilight Sparkle yawned as she sat up and rubbed her deep purple eyes. Looking around, she noticed Spike, her young dragon assistant, staring out the window, looking sadly at the drifting clouds.

"Still thinking about her?" asked Twilight, walking over to stand next to him.

"Yeah," Spike said sadly, still watching the growing number of clouds. "I still can't believe that Rainbow Dash would leave so suddenly without telling anypony. I mean, did she think we'd be angry if we found out she was leaving?"

"I don't know," said Twilight. Trying to comfort him a little, she gave her small friend a hug, but only succeeded in bringing their two sorrows closer. "She left a note saying she had to leave and that she probably wouldn't be coming back but-" Twilight was interrupted as somepony began knocking on the door. "Come on," said Twilight, heading down the stairs, maybe when the Princess sends her letter it will have news on Rainbow Dash."

As Twilight walked towards the front door, the knocking grew more and more frantic until, suddenly, it stopped. Confused, Twilight pulled the curtains aside and tried to see who had been knocking, but nopony was anywhere near the library. "Well that's odd," she said, turning around.

As she turned to face Spike a large fluffy mass of Pink covered her face. "GOOD MOOOORNING TWILIGHT!" Pinkie yelled as she gave her friend an enormous bear hug.

"Hi- Pinkie" Twilight managed to gasp out.

"Sorry about letting myself in but my tail was twitchy and we ALL know what that means."

"It's okay Pinkie, but…" Twilight began.

"Buuuuuuuuut?" Pinkie asked tilting her head almost completely upside down.

"How did you get in here?" Looking around, Twilight saw that all of the windows were still closed and shuttered against the cold wind from the night before.

"Silly," giggled Pinkie, "I came in through the roof!"

"Through the…" Twilight looked up, confused, and saw a hole in the ceiling that was strangely Pinkie Pie shaped. "Pinkie," Twilight groaned, "why couldn't you just wait for the door?"

"I told you, silly," Pinkie said, shaking her tail back and forth, "I had a twitchy tail and I didn't want to be the one that I fell on."

"Whatever Pinkie," Twilight sighed as she began moving branches around to fill the hole in the roof against the coming rain. Thinking of the rain made Twilight stop for a moment and remember her friend Rainbow Dash and how she'd once tried bribing Twilight by keeping a small area free of rainclouds.

"What's the matter?" Pinkie asked, her mane straightening out a bit at her friends sadness, "still thinking about that meanie mean-meanie-pants Rainbow Dash and how she left so quickly?"

Twilight realized that this was the first time she had actually seen Pinkie upset about Rainbow Dash leaving. She had been expecting Pinkie to be devastated at the loss of her pranking buddy.

Pinkie suddenly started twitching causing Twilight to lose focus on her magic. As Twilight stopped the branches from making a bigger hole in the ceiling, Pinkie began calling out her twitches. "ear-flop…. eye-flutter….. knee-twitch! Oh no! Where's Spike?"

Turning suddenly, Twilight accidently sends a branch flying into a nearby door, causing it to slam open. Inside is a small room lit by candles. Spike is leaning in close to a picture of Rarity, a unicorn whom he'd had a crush on for a long time. The picture was propped up next to a small bowl of sapphires, Spike's favorite food. The smell of cologne drifted out of the doorway and a small mustache had been drawn on Spike's face with a marker.

Spike sat there, stunned, looking frantically between Pinkie and Twilight until he suddenly passed out.

"OMIGOSH!" Pinkie yelled suddenly growing excited and hopping in a circle, "'itsneverbeenlikethatbefore!"

"You know Pinkie," Twilight said, "we really should close the door and pretend like this never happened"

"Buuuuuuuuuuut?" Pinkie asked, once again turning her head upside down.

"Remember the poison joke?" Grinning evilly Twilight froze Spike in place magically and began taking pictures of the scene. "Hey Pinkie," Twilight said as she set the camera down, "remind me to invite Rarity over later, would you?"

"Okie-dokie-lokie!" Pinkie giggled as she continued hopping in a circle. "But don't forget that you were going to come over later to see me bake!"

"That's right," Twilight said, closing the door, "I wanted to see why your cupcakes always taste so much better than everypony else's."

"Usually I'd say it's a secret," Pinkie said, "but since we're friends I guess I can show you." "In fact," Pinkie said, a shadow seeming to come over her face, "I'll let you see up close why they taste so different. Just make sure that you don't tell anyone. Evuuuuur!"

Okay, first scene is done. Please review and tell me if I need to fix anything or if there is stuff that you like and you want more of. This is probably going to be a long story with lots of chapters and plenty of grimdark coming up. Twilight's will involve a car battery, copper wire, termites and string :)

Next Chapter: TWANSITION!! Estimated time remaining: 7 Hours, 57 Minutes
