"Order Up!" Pinkie Pie called cheerfully, sending a big cake that looked for all the world like a flower pot into the air and right onto the plate of a light green pony named Lyra Heartstrings. For the pink element of happiness, baking was the best way to spend the day, and these days it was wonderful.

For the flower in the "pot", it was HELL.

"Ooo! He looks delicious!" Lyra said to said flower, licking her lips at the frightened golden sunflower-esque being called Flowey. It had been over three months since he had been brought to this dimension, his abilities of SAVE, LOAD, and RESET fully disabled, replaced by a magical spell cast by one of those damned winged unicorns ("Alicorns!" Pinkie said through the fourth wall) that allowed him to revive instantly after being eaten.

And boy had he been eaten.

A LOT.

He had been baked in just about every kind of cake, pie, doughnut, and all other matter of confection you could possibly imagine, and a few no one could ever consider. How he wanted to cuss out the ponies or use his soul striking bullets to hutrt them. But the Alicorns ("There you go!") had nullified both of them too! All he was now was a sort of delectable prisoner, sobbing as the newest consumer ate away delicately at his icing coated petals and sprinkle covered face.

"Mmmmm! He's yummy today Pinkie, even more than ever!" Lyra said. Flowey just sobbed, unable to do a thing but be tasty as the pony devoured him like any oher flower. Pinkie was too busy to notice how sad he was.

Butthankfully another pony, a certain lavender alicorn with a knack for knowledge, did notice.

***

Flowey sighed as Pinkie carried him, once more trapped in an apple pie. He looked up at her.

"Please... no more... I beg you..."

"But you're a flower silly willy!" Pinkie explained as she shookher head back and forth. "Flowers are supposed to be pony food!"

Flowey sighed sadly. "I know... but I can't take it. For so long I was a powerful being in the Underground, cusing mischief and spreading my influence, but now... now I am just a talking snack!"

"Awwww don't feel bad! You're a real GREAT snack! And you don't yelp in fear anymore once you found out how tickly our teeth are." Flowey grumbled. That he could not deny unfortunately, but it did not make it any easier. Especially given that he was more than just a stupid flower. He could recall vague memories of a time when he had a friend.... a family..... a BODY....

"And here we are!" Pinkie said, knocking on the massive door of Friendship Castle. It looke dlike it had been built out of crystals,with the banner of the newest of the princesses hanging from it. Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, had been a major figure for some time since her arrival in Ponyville, and after recent events she was all the moreso with her spreading of joy and friendship all over Equestria. Flowey only knew her from what she ordered, sadly:

Flowey Apple Pie with fresh whipped cream decorated in a rainbow style.

"Twilight!!!!" Pinkie called, her voice echoing through the castle. "TWIIIIIIILIIIIIIIIIGHT!"

Twilight poked her head out of the library, rubbing her ears. The princess shook her head but smiled at Pinkie's continued randomness, and as she trotted down for her lunch order that continued with a sudden big hug.

"So glad you're finally back Twilight! I mean I know you had a lot to do, being a princess and all, but we sure missed you, and all the fun times, and the hanging out at Berry Punch's juice bar, and-"

A sudden boop on her nose finally shushed her. Flowey shivered as Twilight looked him over. "Pinkie.... mind if I hang on to him for awhile? Now that the big rush to eat him all the time is over?"

Pinkie nodded. "Okie dokie lokie!" Pinie said without any argument, something that suprised Flowey instantly. As he watched her trot off, Twilight Sparkle answered the question the stunned Flowey was obviously thinking.

"Pinkie Pie is just Pinkie Pie, that is all there is to it." She used her magic to levitate the pie into the library, Flowey shivering a little as she set the table to eat him. "Now on to you. See, after this next meal, I think it is high time to find out why your here and more over, why you're ALIVE. We've got lots of strange things in Equestria, Celestia knows but...flowers aren't supposed to talk."

Flowey blinked. "Why NOW after so long?" He asked, a little irritated. "Do you have ANY idea the horror I've endured at the hands of you horses?!"

JUST YESTERDAY:

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Flowey sobbed out, being tied to a spit and roasted over a slow fire, Pinkie Pie holding up some fried petals for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to enjoy.

"Go on! Dig in!"

"Maybe, um...we should eat something that isn't screaming." Apple Bloom mumbled out.

PRESENT:

"Well, two reasons. One is you do taste good and I kinda liked eating you. I wished you enjoyed it more though...."

"YOU BIG JERK!" Flowey screeched, Twilight cringing. "But the other reason is that with all the hassles that have happened lately I never had the time or focus on it long enough to worry about it. I mean we had the Changelings coming back and we've set up negotiations with "Chrissy", King Sombra made a reappearance, we're still on the lookout for Starlight Glimmer, she's INSANELY powerful and has a grudge against me..."

Flowey nodded. "Well that makes sense I guess. Though I will be honest I sure wished you didn't eat me all the time. If I had a soul I have a distinct feeling it would be broken apart by now!"

Twilight nodded sympathetically. "That's why we need to do some tests. I want to find out why your alive and, moreover, see if there is a way we can help."

Flowey blinked. "H-Help? ME? Wow, you are an idiot. If you knew what I did..."

Twilight put a hoof to his mouth. "What you did is based on instincts, not emotions. You cannot have a soul and still have emotions, it makes no sense."

Flowey sighed. "If you MUST know, I have a partial soul I...GUESS." He mumbled with a shrug. "Because I have the memories of what I was before. But they are so vague I don't know much."

Twilight nodded. "Alright....so you think we can get you a soul?"

Flowey blinked. "Wait... you can do that here?!"

Twilight sighed. "Uhhh.... hello? Magic?" She remarked, tapping her horn with a hoof.

Flowey blinked. A soul? For him? It seemed farfetched. But if they could disable his ability to RESET and the like, then...then that would mean he could turn back into.... And it would mean no more...

"DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT." he said, eyes wide, drooling in anticipation of getting a soul of his own.

"Uhhh...you're sure?"

"YES, IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S HOLY, YES!"

...

...

...

...Twilight took Flowey into a small side room, setting him, pie and all, on a table. She hooked some tubes up to him and began to examine him, using a spell to display is vitals. After a bit of note taking she nodded. "Well, seems your alive due to a lot of sheer determination. That will make the soul creation easy. Seems you are a good VESSEL for a soul, you just need one made." She hmmed. "Now it is a powerful spell, so I will need help. But I think we can get one made for you tonight. It'd normally be difficult, but I've got a lot of friends who can help. TOP mares."

Flowey beamed. "You mean...no more being pony food?"

Twiligh sighed. "Sadly no more pony food. I say sadly because I don't think I'll ever have another flower apple pie again as tasty as you were."

Flowey thought about it. Twilight was going to make a soul for him? Tonight?! And her only sadness was she couldn't eat him anymore? Huh, ponies were weird, but still nice.

"Ok... let's do it."

...

...

...

...Pinkie Pie came by later that night, eager to pick up her favorite ingredient. She was looking forward to making a little Flowey cupcake for a midnight treat. But as she entered the castle, she saw something was off.

There, in the middle of the main entry hall, danced a little boy who looked like the cross between a rabbit, a goat, and, she thought, a vampire. He did have exceptionally sharp fangs. He wore a striped green and yellow long-sleeved shirt and blue shirts, and seemed completely filled with joy. Nearby stood Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, Queen Chrysalis, Discord, and Twilight. Pinkie blinked some until Celestia turned towards her.

"Ah, Pinkie Pie, I was wondering when you would come. You have a lot to understand."

Piniie Pie blinked. "Yeah, like who is the cutie? And... why does he smell so tasty?"

The goat boy "eeped" and hid behind Chrysalis, who chuckled. "It seems our friend Asriel here remembers what you did quite well Pinkie. Though I must agree he does smell lucious."

Discord chukled at Asriel's fear. "Oh relax kiddo! Your days as a flower are gone for good, the soul transplant was a complete success!"

Pinkie blinked. "Soul transplant?"

Luna nodded. "Indeed, an ancient and indeed risky spell, It requires several individuals to surrender a part of themselves to help form a new spirit for something. In order for it to work however, the creature in question must have had a soul of its own at one point."

Twilight nodded. "Once I was able to isolate that Flowey had a portion of the remnants of Asriel Dreemurr in him, I found making a soul for him easily possible. Once done, we took the best and worst of ourselves and forged a soul for him. It's VERY draining, and we had to rest for a bit afterward... but it was a complete success."

Asriel, now back to his old self albeit without his magical powers, chuckled. "So no more being pony food ever again!" He said happily, hugging Twilight.

"Well.... I wouldn't go that far." Celestia admitted. Asriel went wide eyed.

"Oh no... don't tell me you eat boss monster kids too?!" He gaped.

Celestia chuckled. "Not exactly. I'm afraid your traits as Flowey did remain... including your taste and reformability. Technically you could be eaten over and over and never die from now on."

Pinie cheered. "Yay! And there is so much more of you this way!" She hugged Asriel, who shivered. But thankfully Celestia intervened.

"Now Pinkie, you have to promise. True it will be enjoyable for him from now on, as I hope he will discover some day. But until then do NOT force him."

P{inkie blinked. "But....."

"Pinkie Promise." Luna demanded. Pinkie said and looked to Asriel.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She said. "Awww, but I was gonna make a wonderful butterscotch pie."

Asriel blinked. "Wait.... did you say Butterscotch pie?"

Pinkie nodded.

"Ummmm... with cinnamon?"

Pinkie nodded. "Yeah, lots of cinnamon."

Asriel licked his lips. It sure SOUNDED good. "Well..... maybe Ill try it one last time...."

Pinkie looked ta him and beamed.

"ONE. LAST. TIME." Asriel insisted.

Pinkie nodded and hugged, making everyone (Even Chrysalis, who had been snacking on the emotions this whole time).

Awwww.

*******

Back in the underground, Frisk was happily playing in Snowdin with several of the monsters. It was a pleasant break from all the life threatening battles so far, and it was a good reward after the vicotry against Papyrus. He smiled and played, sad only that he had no one to share this fun with.

"Howdy!" A voice said behind him. Frisk went wide eyed, almost in fear. he had RESET many times, and had gotten to know that voice very well. It was the voice of that flower. The one who HAD been that poor, sweet little-

But as he turned, it was not Flowey that he saw. It was... it was... The sight made Frisk begin to cry.

"Asriel?" He said silently. Sobbing, the two embraced, Frisk finally seeing him ore than just those few moments, he just knew it. He eeped however when he saw several ponies of various colors behind him.

"Asriel... who are...?"

"These are my friends." Asriel explained, a bouncing pink ne coming over. "Even this one, who thought I had, shall we say, real good taste."

Frisk raied an eyebrow.

"Long story." Asreiel said. "But first... Let's go see mom and dad. Together."

Frisk smiled, hugging his friend again, knowing the rest of this run through would be very happy. He could not wait to lead everyone... EVERYONE... to the surface. For good.

And as they went, Pinkiie licked her lips. She knew the goat boy WAS delicious now. She couldn't wait to try his friend...

THE END?
