It took a bit longer Mayor Mare to get Goku, Snowflake, Midnight, and Sheton to their desired destination and first friend. Mainly because of the increased size in Ponyville since the sisters, minutes their brother, were away from the still and gentle town. They didn’t really mind, since it gave them that much more time to meet new ponies, and even run into a few familiar faces along the way. With each minute that passed, they felt like they were more at home, as if they had stayed even through their magic college years.

Eventually they finally made it to Sugarcube Corner, and the three sisters could not have been happier to see it the one place where they could satisfy their sweet teeth. While a good portion of the bakery was made out of wood, most of it being painted a pale-yellow frosty color. While majority of the building was made out of the sugary sweets that could be found in any other bakery. The roof of the building was that of gingerbread covered in a sugary frosty substance, having a window on the middle left side. A small birds nest resting on the far right, and the shape of a mare holding a candy cane on a far left.

The higher part of the roof was covered in a pink and white cake frosting color, having two windows on either side, with a cupcake at the very top. There were also three purple candles at the top, with a window just below it. The far bottom of the bakery had a cellar looked to be filled with donuts, but were actually flowers. The far lower right side of the bakery had the sign of a pink frosted sprinkled cupcake on it. A mailbox stood just in front of the bakery, with a large purple door having two large pink candy canes on either side.

“Well girls, here’s Sugarcube Corner! The best bakery you can find in this town!” Mayor Mare exclaimed. “I’m so sorry that it took so long…”

“It’s no worries Ms. Mayor. It only took us half an hour to get around the place.” Midnight said reassuringly. “Even if it didn’t, we did leave Canterlot pretty early today anyway. So we had plenty of time to spare.”

“Yes, we did, which makes it much better for us.” Snowflake remarked. “Thank you very kindly for your help Ms. Mayor. It was wonderful seeing you again after so long.”

“Oh it was not trouble at all. I’m just happy that I got to help the wonderful fillies I had known since they came to this town.” The amber earth pony replied warmly. “I must be going now. I have to get ready for the celebration tonight. I hope you have a good day! Oh, and it was so nice meeting you Sheton.

“T-thank you Mayor Mare.” Sheton nodded with a smile. “It was nice meeting you as well.”

“No problem Mayor Mare, it was great seeing you again too! See you at the celebration!” Goku shouted to the Mayor as she trotted off. The tan mare then turned her attention back to her siblings. “Well girls…here we are. I have to say, the place really hasn’t changed that much has it?”

“No, it certainly has not.” Snowflake replied a small smile gracing her pale features. “It exactly how I remember it…how we remember it.”

Midnight took in a long gentle inhale of breath from her flared nostrils. “Hmmmm, whatever is being baked in there, it smells lovely.” She turned back to her younger sisters, an excited smile adorning her muzzle. “I think we can guess who that is, can’t we?”

“I sure can big sis! I can’t wait to get in there and give them the biggest wing hug they’ve ever had!” Goku said gleefully trotting in place, before she turned to look at Sheton. “Here we go Sheton! Because we’re gonna meet some real nice ponies here right in this very bakery! Are you ready honey?”

The stormy grey colt gave a few twiddles of his hooves, not replying for a moment. He then took a deep breath and looked his sister in the eyes.

“Y-yeah…I’m ready. As ready as I’ll ever be at least.” He said softly. "Let's do it."

Smiling warmly, Goku leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss on his cheek and ruffled his mane with a hoof. After then gave him a wink, before turning and opening the door, trotting into the bakery.

The first thing that happened when they all went inside was the scent of sweet sugary goodness. It enveloped all of their nostrils, as if their noses were the only things that were working for them. They all stayed silent, their mouths quivering and their taste buds tingling as their minds were swept into a sea of wonderful imaginary flavor. Nothing else mattered for those few blissful moments. Just that sweet feeling of sweet blissfulness.

Just as quickly as it had begun, it stopped, and the four siblings were brought back to the reality before them. The moment they gained control of their senses; they were greeted with the interior of the bakery. There were many tables that were set up for anypony that wanted to relax with either waiting or eating their snacks. On other, were displays of cookies, cupcakes, and other goods set up for ponies to see. The far right of the bakery displayed drinks liquidly goodness that ponies would want to try, and the upper roof having numerous pictures of cupcakes. At the very front, was the counter for those who wanted to take their orders to go, also having sets of pastries there.

It was also that very same part of the bakery where there was complete and utter chaos.

The four siblings were being graced with a sight that was most certainly not most other bakeries. At the same time, it was something that they had seen before in this type of bakery, and even then, it was only when there was an order placed. One so important, that it would inflict the kind of chaos that was happening right before them. The very same chaos that Goku was trying very hard not to laugh at too.

Two ponies, one mare and the other a stallion, were running about the bakery as if they were farm chickens with their heads cut off. On both of their backs and in their mouths, were the large boxes on what could only be assumed as the very same sweets that were dotting the entire bakery. A glistening shine could be seen from their fur, showing that they were both sweating quite heavily, which indicated just how hard they were working. The three mares and colt could also see, just behind the counter, was a set of large double doors. A thin cloud of grey smoke could be seen emitting from it, something that the mare caught onto right away.

“Carrot! Did you leave my peanut butter cookies in the oven again?!” She indignantly shouted as she set three larger boxes on the floor next to a larger pile. She was a beautiful pegasus, with a very light shade of cerulean fur, with a light crimson mane and tail having pale light grayish crimson stripes in them. Her eyes were shade of brilliant rose red and she wore a bright orange apron with pink feathers adorning the front. The mare’s wings were a wonderful combination of light crimson, light grayish crimson stripes and light cerulean. With three cupcakes as her cutie mark. “I told you not to put them in there for no more than twenty fucking minutes! Last time that happened, we had to use the damn fire extinguisher to put them out! I do not want to have to throw away another fucking batch of burnt cookies again!”

“No Cupcake, I didn’t, don’t worry!” The stallion replied as he levitated several more boxes with some more. The horn on the muscular and handsome stallion’s head showed that he was a unicorn. He had a light brilliant amber yellow coat, and a long, somewhat wild, light brilliant orange mane and tail skirt. His eyes were a moderate shade of pistachio green and light brilliant orange freckles could be seen on his upper muzzle. A plain white apron with a black and white striped neck bow was tied around his neck and barrel, and his cutie mark was of three while frosted carrot cakes. “That smoke was from the last batch of chocolate cookies that I had thrown away! Yours were only in the oven for five minutes!”

“Well, be more careful next time honey! We can’t afford to make a single dam mistake! The Summer Sun Celebration is only hours away, so we can’t afford to waste any time” Cupcake exclaimed, letting a large box slide off of her outstretched right wing. “This isn’t just some damn ordinary order that we’re dealing with here! This is for the event where the very Queen herself graces us with her presence and raises the sun! Right in front of us!”

“Hey…don’t worry honeybun. There’s nothing to be scared of. Remember, we have the girls with us to help out with this.” Carrot said soothingly, wrapping a muscular forehoof around her neck. “This isn’t the first time they’ve helped us find a solution to these problems. Especially Twilight, since she knows the Queen personally. She’s kind, generous, and always happy to see us whenever she can. From what Twilight’s always told us about her, she doesn’t really mind if everything we do for her isn’t perfect. So I’m sure Queen Celestia won’t be upset and understand our plight.”

Cupcake flinched, slowly looking up at her husband with a slightly twitch in her eye. With her eyes flashing a brilliant red, she took to the air and shouted, “Understand? Understand?! Are you insane right now, Carrot?! What in the name of all that is chaotic makes you think that the Queen will understand?!” She leaned in until her muzzle was pressed against the surprised stallion’s own. “I can guarantee you that she’ll be anything but understanding of even a single chocolate chip is out of place! Do you really want to be the center of her wrath?! I sure don’t; and I don’t think you do either!”

Goku jammed a hoof into her mouth to keep from laughing. “Yep, I can see Mr. and Mrs. Cake have not changed a single bit.” She whispered to her sisters, earning her quiet giggles from the other two.

‘Oh wow, that mare is scary!’ Sheton thought fearfully, gulping as he hid himself under Midnight’s legs. ‘I’ll have to remind myself not to piss her off for any reason.’

“Cup…” Carrot said, a hurt look coming to his face as he frowned up at his wife.

The cerulean blue mare paused, cringing at the pained expression on her husband’s masculine face. Closing her eyes, Cup hovered back down to the ground as her wings folded back to her sides. Breathing deeply she said, “I’m sorry Carrot, I didn’t mean to shout at you like that. I-it’s just, I’m worried, like really, really worried. If Queen Celestia doesn’t like what we have, we may get our reputation ruined, or get put out of business, or worse!”

“Oh, now you’re just over reacting.” Carrot said with an optimistic smile, putting a foreleg around his wife. This earned him a mild glare from his wife, causing him to chuckle. “I can tell you without a doubt, that the Queen will love what we baked for her. And I don’t just think it, I know it honeybun.”

“Yeah right…” Cupcake snorted. “I’ll believe that, when I see it with my own eyes.”

“You should listen to your husband, Mrs. Cake.” Goku said softly, finally choosing to jump into the conversation. “I’ve known the Queen since my foalhood too. If I know her, she won’t care what the hell your treats look like. Just as long as they taste good that is.”

"Goku! Language" Midnight chastised with a disapproving frown. “I know your excited to see Mr. and Mrs. Cake again, but you don’t have to use such colorful language!”

Goku smiled cheekily at her sister. “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about!”

Snowflake snorted softly. “You are not a very good liar...”

Midnight looked like she was going to speak again, but was cut off by a squeal from Cupcake as she suddenly lunged at them. The pegasus enveloped all three in a hug, with her forelegs and wings, her facing mashing with theirs.

“My goodness Goku, your sisters are back!" She cried as she spun them around. "I can’t believe that you’re already back in Ponyville after so long!”

“Yes we are, Mrs. Cake.” Midnight cooed as she nuzzled the smaller mare. “I can’t believe you didn’t notice us here. Our scent should’ve reached your noses sometime during your little feud with each other.”

“Me neither. But it’s a real treat to have you here again.” Carrot said with an embarrassed blush on his muzzle. “We’re sorry that we didn’t hear you come in the door. We were just so focused on the orders that we hadn’t really had time to take anypony’s orders and what not.”

“Oh, no worries Mr. Cake. You were just completing orders for the celebration.” Snowflake said gently, nuzzling Cupcake. “If anything, we had come in at the wrong time. Had we known you were still working; we would’ve given you a few more minutes.”

“Oh it’s no trouble at all you three. It was worth it to see you all again, even if it is today of all days.” Carrot said with a chuckle, as he looked each of the girls up and down. “You’ve certainly grown fine young mares, haven’t you? I could never forget those tufted ears fangs and bat wings on any of you. You've certainly bigger than all the other fillies when you were younger too Midnight. Then again, you were always big for a filly your age! Just like Big Macintosh~!”

The beetle black mare’s cheeks turned a deep red in response. “Oh, I didn’t really do anything special. I just ate and trained a lot whenever I had the time. A-and during that time, I guess got carried away a little.” Without warning, she swept Carrot into a big, warm, and very, tight hug. “It’s still so very wonderful to see you two again. You don’t know how much we’ve missed you or this wonderful bakery of yours!”

“W-we’ve missed y-you too, g-g-girls…!” Carrot said, his voice strained the mare’s hug. “U-um…M-Midnight, sweetheart, can you let me go? I-I…c-can’t breathe!"

Midnight, upon seeing Carrot’s face start to turn blue, let out a gasp, letting him go. “Oh! I’m sorry, Mr. Cake, I guess I got a little caught up in the joy of them moment. I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“N-no, I’m fine. You just caught me off guard as all.” Carrot replied, wheezing. “I haven’t been hugged that tight since the day I asked Cupcake to marry me.” He muttered so low that his wife wasn't able to hear it, “It was quite the hug too…”

“None of you have changed a bit since you left Ponyville.” Cupcake sighed happily as she looked all three mares over. “All of you still look just like how you were as fillies, and now you’ve become beautiful mares. Oh, I really miss those days where I could sweep you in my forearms, smother you senseless, and fill your little cheeks with goods~.”

As soon as she said that, Sheton felt a knot form in his stomach as he saw the look on the cerulean mare's face. It only grew tighter when he noticed Goku looking at him, a small devilish grin forming on her face.

“It’s funny you should say that Mrs. Cake. Because I may have found a certain somepony to help fill that void in your heart.” She said in a cheerful, yet mischievous tone as she pushed her little brother in front of him. “Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I would like the both of you to meet our little brother Sheton! I don’t know if Pinkie or anypony else told you that I was going to be a big sister or not. But, in case you didn’t, well…here he is!”

She the lowered her head to his level and gently nuzzled his cheek, gently saying, “It’s okay baby, they’re not gonna bite. Go on up to them and say hi.”

Shaking slightly, Sheton slowly walked up to the bakers, both staring wide eyed at the young colt. Nonetheless, that didn’t stop him from swallowing his nervousness and politely greeting the two bakers. “H-hello…! It’s nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Cake.”

“Oh my goodness! Just look at him!” Mrs. Cake squealed, a huge grin coming her face as her magenta eyes glittered. She swept the colt up in her wings, smothering his face in her heart-shaped chest fluff. “Aren’t you just the cutest little thing?!” She cooed, nuzzling the top of his head as she shoved his head deeper in her chest.

‘Seriously…?!’ Sheton thought, a muffled moan coming from him as he sweat dropped. His young mind wandered back to when he got slammed into the ground by Derpy, and how his face was in her bouncing fluffy chest. ‘First Ms. Derpy and how…Ms. Cake?! Just how many bucking mares are going to hug me like this?!’

“Whoa there, honeybun.” Carrot said dryly, putting a hoof on his wife’s shoulder. “You’re gonna squeeze the life out of the poor kiddo if you keep hugging him like that.”

Cupcake looked over at her husband, not lessening her embrace. “Now why would I do that Carrot? I’ve hugged foals like this before, and none of them went blue in the face.”

“Because the very last foal that you hugged, you squeezed her so hard you nearly made her head pop like a balloon.” Carrot replied somewhat bluntly. “I’m still amazed that Melon Cake was able to handle that! And still keep smiling throughout it.”

“It’s not my fault that Melon was so adorable that I lost control of my strength!” Cupcake pouted. “And like you’re one to talk Carrot! When you first saw her, you looked very close to glomping her too!”

“True, but…” Carrot grinned, holding a hoof up before Cupcake could speak. “The only difference between thatis because I had more self-restraint. Something that can’t really be said the same about you, honeybun.”

“Yes well, at least I took care as to not actually make her pass out!” Cupcake retorted, her cheeks heating. “And it’s a good thing that I was the first one to hug Melon too! Otherwise, you would’ve seriously hurt the poor dear!”

“Yeah, like I’d be able to crush a fully who’s body is like rubber.” Carrot chuckled, giving a little shrug. “Real smart honeybun. Real smart.”

Cupcake then felt a light tap on her shoulder, and she looked down to see Sheton looking back up at her. With another smile, she set the colt back down, allowing him to take in precious gulps of air and recover from the tight hug.

“Sorry baby, I didn’t mean to squeeze you so tight!” Cupcake said sheepishly. “It’s just oh! You just look so adorable like that~!”

“Oh, no. It’s fine Mrs. Cake.” Sheton said kindly. “You didn’t hurt me or anything. You just, um…kind of caught me off guard with the sudden hug. I know you didn’t mean anything bad by it.”

“Thanks kiddo.Glad you’re not holding it against my wife for acting so adorably energetic around new foals.” Carrot said gently. “So, you’re the youngest out of your three sisters huh? I can see why. With those canines, webbed wings, and fluffy ears, it’s hard not to. That hat looks a bit big for you to wear on his head though.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. The inside is small enough for him. There’s also cuts inside for his ears to poke out and hold it in place. Our Mom made sure to do that so it wouldn’t hide his face, since she was the one who gave it to him.” Goku replied, smiling reassuringly. “Even if it wasn’t, I’d still make him wear it. Because it still reminds me how adorable he looks!”

“It certainly is.” Snowflake nodded. “For both us and our dear mother.”

“So, what’re you three doing back here in Ponyville?” Cupcake asked curiously. “We didn’t think we were going to see you here today of all days. You know, with the Summer Sun Celebration happening today and the Queen coming to visit the town.”

“Actually that’s exactly why we’re here Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and not just to partake in the celebration either.” Goku replied, grinning widely. “We're really here because Queen Celestia chose us to be the supervisors for this year’s Summer Sun Celebration, mainly because we know every part of this town. That, and just how much of a fun place that I can be for those that come here.”

“You’re the supervisors for the Summer Sun Celebrations?!” Cupcake gasped as Carrot’s eyes widened. The three sisters nodded, and the cerulean Pegasus suddenly found herself falling to her haunches, letting out a huge relieved sigh. “Oh, my goodness, that’s…that just wonderful to hear! Now we don’t have to worry so much about getting criticized for our cooking! Especially since you three tried it lots of times before!”

“Well of course Ms. Cake. we would never ever criticize your cooking in any bad way! You and Carrot best pastry makers here in Ponyville.” Goku said with a shake of her head. She reached into her saddlebag with a hoof and held out a clipboard. “This list holds all the ponies that were given tasks for the event by the Queen. As you can see, your place was the first on our list of places to see. No offense Mr. and Mrs. Cake but, you weren’t exactly the ponies we needed to see today.”

“None taken dear, we’re hardly get chosen for anything this important anyway.” Cupcake said as she looked over the list. Her rose eyes widened as she gasped, “Oh my, it says here the first pony that you’re supposed to see is…Pinkie Pie!!”

“That it does Mrs. Cake! The Queen could not have picked better ponies to be in charge of the Summer Sun Celebration tasks than those on that list! Goku giggled. “We’ve all been dying to see them again after four years away. It's been way too long since I've seen that infectious little smile of her's. How is she doing anyway?”

“She’s doing great! Lending us a helping hoof in keeping the bakery in balance and running like she always does.” Carrot said cheerfully, before he gave a gentle shake of his head. “I swear, I don’t know how that filly does it, but she just does it! With the work schedule that we have, I didn’t think could get anypony would want to be our apprentice.”

“So did I, Carrot. I remember the first time she walked in here!” Cupcake cooed, putting both of her forehooves to her cheeks. “Those big blue eyes, that adorable curly and poofy mane and tail, that infectious little smile, oh! Everything about her just screamed party pony!”

“You can say that again.” Carrot added with a nod of agreement. “Sometimes I think she’s on a continuous sugar rush or something whenever she parties.”

“That may be the case as to why she has so much energy. She's high on sugar.” Snowflake remarked, earning a laugh from the Cakes. “Or maybe it’s just Pinkie being Pinkie in her own unique way. Which would explain how she’ s able to plan all the exciting events the way she does.”

“That would make more sense.” Carrot murmured with a nod of agreement, before his eyes lit up in recognition. “Oh, that’s right, you were here to see Pinkie, weren’t you?”

“Ugh, I can’t believe I forgot about that!" Cupcake cried, nearly slapping herself for her own stupidity. "Wait right here dearies, I’ll go get here right now! I just know she’ll be absolutely thrilled to see you again!”

A cheerful, bubbly, and sugar-sweet voice suddenly popped all around them. “No need to Mrs. Cake! I’m already here!”

A blur of pink suddenly appeared in between the six ponies as a large and wide pair of blue eyes staring right into Cupcakes rosy ones. The baker couple, Midnight, and Sheton let out shrieks of surprise as they leapt back a full ten feet. This allowed the mare fell from the ceiling and did a side flip, before landing on her hooves in a rather graceful manner.

“Pinkie Pie! How many times have I told you not to jump out of nowhere like that?! Especially so close to ponies?!” Mrs. Cake said hotly, becoming slightly upset with her apprentice as she put a hoof to her chest in an attempt to calm her rapidly beating heart. “That’s got be the fifth heart attack that you’ve given me this month!”

“Sorry Mrs. Cake, I admit I got a little carried away there!” Pinkie Pie, giggled cutely, her mane bouncing slightly. “I just got so excited when I hear you say that there was somepony here that I would be ‘absolutely overjoyed’, to see again.”

Now that she was given proper viewing, it could be seen that she was an earth pony; somewhat on the chubby side, but in a way to still look attractive. She had a pale light grayish raspberry pink coat, like that of bubblegum, all looking to be very fluffy. A mass of feathers adorned her chest and the base of her tail, making it look like she had at least one generation of pegasus blood in her. She had a long brilliant raspberry mane and tail, done up in the curliest and poofy style ever seen by anypony. It looked to be just millimeters from touching the ground, hanging over one side of her face, framing it rather attractively. Her eyes were a bright cerulean blue color, shining with such brightness, innocence, and mirth that it would be on par with that of a newborn foal. Imprinted on either side, just above her shoulder blades, were symbols that symbolized that of chaos, with one of a ten-tailed lycanthrope on her back. To top her appearance off, her cutie mark was of three balloons the middle one being yellow and the other two being blue.

“Honeybun, you should know by now that Pinkie doesn’t give anypony any warnings when it comes to situations like this.” Carrot said softly, shaking his head. “We will never be able to keep ourselves from nearly jumping out of our fur and screaming like monkeys.”

Cupcake sighed. “Yes…I know. You’ve got a point there, Carrot. Still, Pinkie, please don’t do that! I can’t take another jump scare like that again! Next time I might actually faint!”

“Don’t you worry Mrs. Cake! I Pinkie Promise that I’ll give you and Mr. Cake a nice big super-duper extra-large heads-up of where I’m going to pop up!” Pinkie replied happily with a salute, as if she were a soldier standing in front of a military officer. Then her eyes lit up, letting out a gasp of realization as she exclaimed, “Oh! That’s right, you said that there was someone here to see me! Well who is it? Is it my family?! My friends?! Oh, Oh! Or maybe it’s the-”

Whatever the mare was going to say next caught right into her throat as she turned around to the entrance. Her whole body freezing the moment she laid her eyes onto the three hybrid mares in the room. The pupils within her eyes expanded very nearly causing her cerulean irises to disappear and leave them as orbs of black. Her jaw slowly fell open, going well beyond the length that any other pony’s jaw should, making Sheton nervously step back. She remained like that for a few long silent moments, before her jaw snapped back into place and she gave a hard blink. Just a few seconds later, her lower lip began to quiver as her eyes glazed over and grew misty, and the faintest hint of a smile on her face.

“G-Goku...S-Snowflake...M-Midnight.” She said shakily, once she finally found her voice. “I-is that really you?”

Goku’s face lit up with a small smile as she took a couple of steps closer to the bubblegum pink mare. “Hey there Pinks…it’s certainly been a long time, hasn’t it?” She asked sweetly. “I could never forget that bouncy mane and that infectious smile of yours, even after all this time.”

An over extended gasp left pinkie’s mouth, before an unnaturally wide smile slowly grew on Pinkie’s face. She bit her lip as her eyes squeezed tight, her mane covering her eyes as she lowered her head. Then, abruptly, a loud ear-piercing squeal erupted from her throat as she leapt high into the air, causing Sheton’s eyes to widen in surprise. Before the hybrid colt could do anything, Pinkie brought all three of his sisters in a strong grasp. She stood on her hind legs and spun around in the air, laughing merrily.

“Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!” She squealed as she hugged the three hybrid mares with all her might. “I can’t believe it I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it! it really you girls!! I haven’t seen any of you in SO LONG!”

“Can’t really say we can’t say the same Pinkie. It feels like it’s been forever since we last seen each other.” Goku said with a soft laugh, wrapping her feathered bat wings around the bubblegum pink mare. “Regardless, it’s great to see you again. I could never forget that cute infectious little smile of yours. No matter how many times I close my eyes.”

“And I can never forget those cute little fangs and those super-duper cool wings either!” Pinkie retorted slightly, booping the tan mare on her nose. “Oh, I am SOOOOOO happy that you’re all back! You came a just the right time, too! I have treats that I’ve wanted somepony to try, and you happen to be just the first ponies here! Trust me, you will love it!”

“Is that so? Well thank you Pinkie, it really means a lot to us that you’d save your delectable treats for us!” Snowflake replied thankfully. “Though, we’re going to have to correct you on something, sweetheart. About there being only being three of us here.”

“What do you mean? There’s you, Goku, and Middy here, so that means all of you are here, doesn’t it?” Pinkie Pie asked as she gave a cute tilt of her head. Her eyes then widened before, a she smirked and asked, “Unless you have a, special guest, with you?”

“Funny you should ask that, Pinkie. As a matter of a fact, we do!” Midnight chirped, gently pushing Sheton forward. Despite his shyness, the colt slowly gave Pinkie the same cordial smile he gave the Cakes. “You may not remember this Pinkie, but Goku, Snowflake and me, had told you and the rest of the girls that we were all going to be big sisters. You had call come to Canterlot to see our brother, Sheton, the way he was born to-”

A squeal that nearly made the four hybrid ponies eardrums explode cut Midnight off. Everypony in the bakery jammed their hooves into their ears, trying to block out the volume as the while bakery shook and the windows rattled. Then, just as quickly as it had begun, the squealing stopped, before Pinkie Pie lunged at Sheton and hugged him tightly. Or at least, she would’ve, had he not jumped out of the way and flown out of the door at the last second.

“Sheton, wait! Where are you going?!” Midnight cried. “Pinkie Pie’s not going to hurt you, I promise!”

“No, no way! No way in tartarus” Sheton cried, flapping his wings frantically. “There is no way I am going to be smothered again!”

“Oh goodness. He really shouldn’t have done that.” Snowflake murmured. “I already know what’s about to happen next.”

As if to show what was going to happen, Pinkie suddenly whipped her forelegs backward, doing so as to not let Sheton’s sisters see what was about to happen. “Hey, where are you going you little cutie?! Come back here and cuddle with your Auntie Pinkie Pie!”

With a heave, Pinkie’s forelegs shot forward, reaching passed the door and stretching all the way across the street. Sheton’s who had been flying in the midst of it, heard the sound of whooshing wind, and he looked back to see two incoming pink forelegs. His blue eyes bulged in complete shock, and he was given just enough time to go slack jawed before they wrapped around him. A terrified squealed emitted from his throat as he was pulled back, until he began flapping his wings again.

‘Oh my Faust! Are her forelegs actually stretching towards me?! How can they be bucking stretching?!’ He thought as he struggled in a futile attempt to get away. “Help, help! Somepony, anypony, help me please; get me away from here!”

Sheton looked around frantically at the ponies walking around the street. They either turned their heads away, started laughing, or gave him looks of amused sympathy. Those expressions were more than enough to make him pause, giving Pinkie the opportunity to pull him back. He braced for the impact of the doors hitting his face, but instead felt the warm fluffy chest of Pinkie as she hugged him. Sheton was given no chance to struggle again before the mare began to spin around on one leg.

“I definitely remember this little cutie! How could not remember a colt with the most adorable face ever?!” Pinkie replied as she nuzzled the colt. “I’ll never forget when the girls and me went to Canterlot Hospital and saw him for the first time! Oh, he was so adorable back then! I could’ve eaten him up, heeheehee!”

‘Horseapples, I knew it! I was gonna get smothered…!’ Sheton thought sweat dropping again as the sides of his face flushed blue. ‘I ask you again Faust! Why do you do this to me?!’

“Oh don’t remind me Pinkie. We all remember all too well the reactions that you all had when you saw my brother.” Goku said dryly. “I can very vividly remember your reaction. Not did you only shatter every single one of the windows, but you also woke up every single foal in the nursery.”

“That and you also left most of us, including the girls, partially deaf.” Snowdrop added. “Not the best move if you ask me, dear…”

The bubblegum pink mare rubbed the back of her head with a hoof. "I know. I did get pretty carried away back there. I just can't help but get excited when I meet new ponies of for the first time, especially of their foals, hmhm!"

“You sure do Pinkie Pie.” Snowflake murmured. “As you have made so plainly obvious just a moment ago.”

Pinkie Pie giggled into one of her hooves, before she then looked at Sheton, who was staring rather intently at her with his head tilted. That action sparked something that peeked Pinkie’s curiosity, leading her to ask, "What is it, lil cutie? Is there frosting somewhere on my face?"

The stormy grey colt snapped out of his stupor, before quickly shaking his head. "Oh, n-no Ms. Pinkie Pie, it’s was nothing, really. I-I was just, um...looking at, um...your mane." He gulped, choosing his next words carefully. “It’s um…r-really…p-poofy and…curly.”

"Yeah! it is really poofy isn’t it? It’s been like that since I was like, eight, ever since I saw a huge rainbow that nearly shot me away from my farm!” Pinkie Pie giggle wrapping a little curl of her mane around her hoof. “I wonder if it still has some extra flower from when I baked those triple chocolate chip cookies? If it does then you have a really good eye there, Tony!"

"Hey! Don't steal my brother's nickname Pinkie!" Goku chastised playfully. "Only I'm supposed to call him that!"

Sheton paused momentarily, and blushing at the nickname. "Oh, no! It’s not that! Its clean, so you don’t have to worry about that. It’s just..." He looked back up at Pinkie's mane as it gave a few more bounces before going still once more. "I've never seen a mane like that before...it’s the curliest one I've ever seen."

"Awwww! that is so sweet of you to say!" Pinkie cooed. "Nopony's really given me very much compliments on my mane before! Most of them think that it doesn't really suit me, except for my friend Rarity! She was the first pony to complement me on my mane style and say that it really suits my character! Not only that, but she was also a foal like you Sheton! So that makes you the second foal to like the style of my main and tail!"

"Really? I'm only the second?" Sheton asked curiously as he tilted his head. "Who was the first?"

"That's for me to know, and for you to find out!” Pinkie giggled as she poked his belly, earning a few little giggles form the colt. “And just for that little compliment about my mane, you're gonna get a special treat!" Facing Sheton’s older sisters once again, her eyes widened as she shouted "Oh right, I almost forgot! You haven't seen or tried out the treats that me, Mr. and Mrs. Cake made for the Summer Sun Celebration starting tonight! Ok, wait right here Tony! Don't go anywhere! I'll be right back!"

With that, the bubblegum pink mare zoomed back into the kitchen, leaving a pink blur in her wake as Mrs. and Mrs. Cake felt their manes being blown form the wind created by Pinkie's unnatural speed. All six ponies could hear the sound of the double doors to the kitchen being banged open, before the whole bakery became silent once more.

"Well, I can see that she hasn’t changed a bit." Snowflake said fondly. "She's just as jovial as she was when we were fillies."

“Yes, she certainly is, as much as the first time she came to this shop.” Cupcake nodded, flicking her tail as she let out a soft sigh. “Which reminds me…she’s not the only one who we had taken in during the time you were away.”

Midnight tilted her head. “She’s not? You mean you have somepony else working here?”

“They sure dooooo!”

The little sweet voice caught all four of the hybrid siblings off guard, sounding like a foal version of Pinkie Pie. They began to look around for the source of the voice, only to find nopony in sight anywhere in the bakery. Before they could question the cakes, a green blur shot descended out of nowhere and landed right in front of the four ponies and the cakes. As they got over their shock, they found themselves looking into the large multi-colored eyes of an earth pony foal. It was a filly, with a shade of soft green fur that was as green as different colored apple. She had a large spikey mass of a mane and tail that were even a darker shade of green. The filly’s eyes were heterochromic, the right one being a ruby red and the other being deep emerald green, and she had no cutie mark on her flank.

“Gah! What the hell?!” Goku shouted, reeling back. “Where the did she come from?!”

“I don’t have a clue.” Snowflake replied, looking far less surprised. “She just…came out of nowhere.”

“Hey there! I’ve never seen you four ponies before!” The filly said excitedly. “Are you guys new here to Ponyville?”

“Um…y-yes. We are honey.” Midnight replied, getting over her surprise first. “How did, um…you do that just now?”

The soft green filly tilted her head. “Do what?”

“Do that…thing you did just now.” Goku replied. “Y-you just…came out of nowhere! Snd I didn’t even sense a damn trace your magic!”

“Oh, that’s something that I do pretty much all the time!” The earth filly replied, giving a little shrug. “One minute I’m right in front of you, and the next minute, I’m behind you, and the next minute, I’m not anywhere at all! like I’m some ghost or figment of your imagination! It’s kind of something that Pinkie Pie is known for, just like me ya know?”

“That…doesn’t really make any sense dear.” Midnight said, sweat dropping a little. ‘Then again, what Pinkie does makes no sense either.’

“Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t, but hey! That’s just how me and Pinkie Pie roll!” The filly shrugged. “Anyway, enough about me, I wanna know more about you guys! I’ve never ever seen ponies like you here before? Are you all friends of Pinkie Pie like I am?”

“Er…yeah, we are sweetie.” Goku said, sighing. “Anyway, my name is Son Goku Kakarot Nightstalker Shenron. These are my siblings Snowflake Icestorm Nightstalker Shenron, Midnight Thunderstorm Nightstalker Shenron, and Sheton Crimson Flash Nightstalker Shenron. It’s really nice to meet you miss...”

“Oh, right! Sorry! I was so caught up in the fact that I was meeting new ponies that I didn’t tell you my name!” The soft green filly giggled. “My name is Lycan D. Melon Cake Ryūko Konton! But most ponies just call me Melon! I’m the resident Fun Filly, in Ponyville, Sugarcube Corner, and in Ponyville Elementary School!”

All three mares paused, inadvertently thinking the same thing. ‘Lycan D.?’

Sheton gave a pause, looking at the filly with slight surprise. “Wait a minute, Ryūko? Doesn’t that mean ‘Draconic Tiger?’ in Neighponese?”

“Sure does~!” Melon replied cheerfully, giving a couple of bounces. “I am a member of the all famous Draconic Tiger clan that are masters of the powers of a tiger and dragon, and is oh so super-duper secretly hidden from most of pony society!” She spun around allowing the four ponies to see a draconic tiger on her back, in a ying yang symbol with a ten-tailed lycanthrope. “See? The big guy’s right there! Looking as fierce as he always does!”

“Wow! That looks so cool!” Sheton breathed, his eyes shining as he stared at the symbols. “I’ve never seen a tattoo like that before. I’ve heard of the Ryūko clan before, but I’ve never met one in pony.”

Melon giggled, spinning back around to face the colt. “Well, luckily for you, I happen to be one of those ponies! I have the tattoos! And the powers to prove that I am a member of a family that holds the power of the biggest strongest Big Cat in the world!” She leaned in until their noses were nearly touching. “If you want, I can show you just how strong I can be!”

“Uh n-no thank you! I-I think I’ll pass on that if you don’t mind!” Sheton replied, backing away as Melon’s flattened teeth began to elongate. ‘Wow this filly is scary! I’m gonna have to watch myself around her along with Pinkie and Ms. Cake!’

“Alright Melon Cake.” Carrot said, putting a hoof on the soft green filly. “Don’t wanna scare the poor colt on his first day here in Ponyville. You okay there Sheton?”

“Y-yeah, I’m fine, M-Melon just took me by surprise as all.” Sheton replied, taking a breath to calm himself. “I-It, um…it’s really nice to meet you by the way M-Melon Cake.”

“You too Sheton!” Melon replied, winking at the stormy grey hybrid colt. “You know, I’ve never seen a colt like you around Ponyville before. Do think you and I could be friends?”

“W…what? R-really?” Sheton asked in shock. “You…w-want to be friends with me? E-even though I’m half thestral?”

“Of course I do! I know we’ve only just met, but I don’t like it when nopony has any friends, even in a friendly place like this! Plus, you don’t really see a lot of thestrals around anywhere like this place, so it’d be super-duper swell if ponies learned to like them now!” Melon replied, nodding rapidly. “And you seem like a really sweet and awesome colt! I can totally see it in those big adorable emerald blue eyes of yours!”

‘Well this little filly has the sharp eyes, doesn’t she?’ Goku thought to herself, watching the scene with a smile. ‘She kind of reminds me of Pinkie Pie.’

“So whaddya say Sheton?” Melon Cake asked holding a hoof out. “You wanna be friends with Ponyville’s Fun Filly?”

For a moment, Sheton stayed where he was, glancing down at the soft green filly’s hoof, before looking into her multi-colored eyes. He stared into the twin orbs for some time. As if trying to see whether Melon’s intentions were true, or if she was just pulling his leg. Hesitantly, he raised his hoof up and wrapped it around Melon’s own, blushing slightly at how warm and soft it felt.

“Sure Melon Cake, I-I would like that a lot. Y-you seem like a really nice filly too. A-and I hope that we can be friends too.” Sheton said, smiling softly at the soft green filly. “O-oh, and, you have…really, p-pretty eyes. I-I don’t think I’ve ever seen anypony with eyes that were two different colors. Other than my Dad's.”

“Awww! You really think so?” Melon Cake asked, her expression softening. “My eyes are really pretty to you?”

“Mhm, I really do, honestly. T-they’re really pretty to look at.” Sheton replied, looking away shyly. “I…I’m a real sucker for different colored eyes. B-because…it makes them look that much more, um…u-unique.”

The next thing that Sheton knew, he found the life being squeezed out of him as Melon Cake brought him into an incredible tight hug. The soft green filly squealed loudly as she bounced on her hind legs spinning in the air not to different form that of a ballerina.

“Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Sheton! That is one of the nicest sweetest things that anypony has ever said to me!” Melon Cake cried, happily, her eyes watering with anime tears. “Nopony has ever said that my eyes are pretty before! Nopony except the ones who didn’t really mean it! I think this is the first time anypony has said my eyes are pretty and really did mean it!”

Goku frowned at this, an unpleasant thought coming to mind. 'Seems like this filly here was bullied because of her eyes...' She thought, giving the filly a pitying look.

“Really? Well, I guess I’m the first pony your meeting to say that.” Sheton giggled, blowing some of his mane away. “And the first pony to really mean it.”

“Hmhm, that you are Sheton!” Melon Cake nodded, giggling as she let out a little snort. “I think we are going to be the bestest of friends from here on out!”

“Y-yeah, I do too.” Sheton nodded. “A-and I promise, that I’ll be the best friend that you’ve ever had too.”

“Same here! And that’s not just any promise! that is a Pinkie Promise!!” Melon Cake declared, holding a hoof in the air. “Or, in my case, a Melon Promise!”

All eight ponies laughed at the promise made from the earth pony filly, and Cupcake and Carrot looked to be ready to make a remark on it. They did not get the chance to as they and the Shenron Siblings all jumped back in surprise as a gigantic plate filled treats landed in front of them. They all gave off a scent of goodness so strong it was almost painful, and for the thestral siblings, it was quite a lot to take in. Pinkie suddenly appeared from above them, hanging upside down from the ceiling bat-style, her hind hooves clutching the boards of the ceiling having the many engraved pictures of sweets on them.

"There we are! All of the super duper extra special delicious foods that I could find in the whole entire bakery!" Pinkie Pie said as she bounced in place. "I do want to say one itsy bitsy little thing. The treats that we are taking to the celebration tonight are not to be eaten until after Queen Celly raises the Sun and gives of her super-duper extra important speech! These treats on the other hoof, are samples, so you can have as many as you want! Or well, as many as your body can handle, because we don't want any of you to get a tummy ache!"

"Hmhmhmhm, don’t worry Pinks, we'll all keep that in mind. I also appreciate how your being considerate about my little brother’s safety when it comes to eating too much sweets, but something tells me he'll be just fine." Goku giggled as he looked over at the stormy grey colt standing next to her. "In fact, since this is his first time at Sugarcube Corner, I think it’s only fitting if he tries the samples first."

Sheton looked up at his elder sister, his eyes going wide with surprise. He then felt himself being gently pushed forward, until he was less than a foot away from the large plate. He stared at the pile of sweets for a few moments, before looking back at his sister, who have him a consensual nod in return. Sehton then looked over at Pinkie, who gave a more vigorous nod, gesturing with an eager hoof.

"It’s alright dearie. Try as many as you like." Cupcake cooed with a gentle smile. "You don’t even have to worry about paying us."

"Yeah, these ones are on the house." Carrot added, giving the colt a firm nod. “Knock yourself out!”

“Go on Sheton! Take a bite already!” Melon Cake urged, smiling sweetly. “They’re really good! we promise! Just one bite, and your taste buds will go straight to paradise!”

Having now gotten consent from the Cakes, his sisters and Melon, Sheton smiled back at them before staring back down at the pile of treats laid out in front of him. His emerald eyes scanned each of the different foods stacked on top of each other, trying to see which one would taste the best. He finally settled one large strawberry frosted sprinkled vanilla cupcake, which was slightly glistening in the light of the Sun. Making his decision, Sheton reach out and took the cupcake in his right hoof. After staring at it for just a few more moments, he brought over to his mouth, took a rather large bite, and started to chew.

The reaction the everypony in the bakery got from the little colt came with major positive results. The second the cupcake touched his tongue, Sheton's blue eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets and began to sparkle. His feathered bat wings flared out involuntarily as his whole body froze on the spot. It was as if he had been blasted and encased in a large block of magic, the cupcake still held in his grasp. For a long moment, he didn't say a word nor make a single move. He just stood in that same motionless position. After a few more seconds, Snowflake finally broke the ice.

"Um, Sheton?" She asked gently, her worried tone matching her expression. "Are you okay, dear?"

"So…oood.” He mumbled as he bowed his head low.

"What was that, sweetie?" Midnight asked, flicking her right ear as she lowered her head to hear better. “Could you speak up please?”

"SOOO GOOHOHOHOHOOOD!!!" He repeated as he lifted his head, his cheeks flushing red as his eyes shut tight. His wings ruffled as they folded back to his sides, anime tears flowing from his eyes as everypony watched on in amusement. “They’re so good~!”

"I'll take that as a yes..." Goku said, supporting the colt as he stumbled about. "A very overly dramatic yes."

Snowflake side-eyed her youngest sister. “Oh don’t you even start…”

"Oh, I know you'd love it! That expression told me you did the second that it came on your cute little face!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily,. "I mean why would you like it, let alone live it! They are the bestest most sure spectacular treats that you can't find anywhere here in Ponyville, made by yours truly!!" Right as she said this, she suddenly stopped hopping and pulled both the Cakes into a hug from either side of them. "Of course, I couldn't have done it without the help of the two most bests bakers in all of Ponyville!”

"Don't worry Pinkie Pie, we know what you meant!" Cupcake said giving her a loving motherly nuzzle. "Though you really should give yourself some more credit. We're not the only talented bakers here in this building."

“Mrs. Cake is right Pinkie Pie, you’re just as much of a talent baker as the cakes are!” Melon Cake nodded. “And maybe someday, when I’m big and strong like you, I’ll be a super-duper awesome baker like all three of you!”

"Melon's right Pinkie...with treats like that, the ponies at the Summer Sun Celebration will certainly have their taste buds on fire from just the sheer flavor." Goku added with a nod of agreement. She then felt her nostrils flare and giving a little sniff of the air, before she grimaced a bit. "Speaking of which, does anypony else smell smoke?"

As soon as those words came out of her mouth, Cupcake and Carrot both froze on the spot, looking to each other with wide eyes and contracted pupils as they screamed, "OH BUCKING SHIT! THE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIEEEEEES!!!" Before they both zoomed into the kitchen with lightning speed almost blowing the double doors off of their hinges by their sheer force alone.

“Hold on Mr. and Mrs. Cake I’m coming!” Melon Cake shouted, zooming after the two bakers at the same speed Pinkie Pie had when she left. “I’ll get the fire extinguisher”

“Oh those three. I told them that if they left the cookies in the oven for even a second longer than necessary that they would start to burn. "Pinkie Pie said, shaking her head. " Good thing they have me and Melon Cake to take care of that! Looks like they still got a few lose ends to tie up, and Melon’s there to help them."

"Yeah, it looks that way...” Midnight said with a gentle laugh. “It looks like you got your hooves full quite bit, huh Pinkie?"

"Yepperooni! I sure do. But, luckily for me, I have a sweet little filly here to keep not only the Cakes, but me in high spirits!” The bubblegum pink mare replied as she lowered her head and closed her eyes. “Oh, I don’t know they’d do without me! Or me without Melon Cake!"

“Probably run themselves even more ragged than they already are.” Snowflake joked. “Then again, they already do that. So I guess it doesn’t really make a difference. Good thing they have somepony to help them keep their spirits up.”

“Totally.” Pinkie Pie said, laughing softly as she brushed her mane away. "I'm not gonna lie. I really missed you guys over the last four years that we were apart. Me and the girls all missed each other a lot, but we never missed anypony more than we did you four." Her eyes then locked onto Sheton, who gave her a shy smile on return. "Now you're all here again, we can all be together! Plus, you've brought your little brother here too. Which makes it even better! For both me and for Melon Cake! When the Summer Sun Celebration rolls around, we can all celebrate being together again! And Melon Cake can celebrate getting a new friend! Ooooh, I can hardly wait!"

"Neither can we Pinkie. I am looking forward to when we can all see each other in the same place. Plus, I'm wondering how a few...particular members of their families are doing." Goku replied with a genuine smile. The hybrid mare looked down at her brother for a split second before looking back up at Pinkie. "And I'm sorry that I wasn't able to keep in contact with you girls most of the time. I had a lot of college and magic training to deal with while I was gone, so I didn’t really have all that time to visit.”

Pinkie Pie walked up to all three mares and pulled them all into a tight hug. She used her tail to pull Sheton in as well, and bring him into the now complete hug.

"Oh Goku, there's nothing to be sorry for. I'm just so happy that I get to see you guys again, and that's all that matters. I am looking forward to catching up, and Melon getting to know your little brother more, and I think it’s gonna be a blast." Pinkie Pie replied sincerely, looking down at the colt before she gained a gentler, warmer smile. "Just promise me one thing, okay?"

"What would that be Pinkie?" The tan hybrid mare asked gently.

"If you ever plan to be away that long again, try keep in touch more often." She said looking up at them with eyes that were like that of a sad puppy’s “I know that we really couldn’t do it, but still. It felt so wrong that we didn’t get to hear too much from each other. So, promise me okay?”

Goku responded by wrapping her feathered bat wings around the bubblegum pink mare, pulling her even closer. She nuzzled her right cheek with Pinkie's left on as the mare began to shake. "Of course Pinkie. We promise you, that we will keep in touch as much as we possibly can, with both you and the girls." She said softly, letting Pinkie Pie cry into her shoulder. "That is a promise, and not just any promise. But a Pinkie Promise.”

Pinkie Pie sniffled, smiling into Goku’s shoulder as she nuzzled it. “Thank you, I’m really happy to hear that. I know that this year’s Celebration is going to be one hay of a blast. Especially with all of you here.”

“Oh, I know it will be!” Goku chirped, pulling away from Pinkie. “And with you and Melon there, it’s bound to be!”

A crash from inside the kitchen made all five ponies jump, and an angry voice followed soon after. “Faustdammit Carrot, what the fuck did I just say?! Don’t leave the cookies in the fucking oven any longer than necessary?! What do you go and do?! Do you fucking do it anyway! I told you we can’t afford any mistakes today, shit!”

“I thought that you were supposed watching them?!” The voice of Carrot asked. “Didn’t you say that you would watch the time while I took care of making the batch?! When did we suddenly switch rolls?!”

Melon Cake’s voice came shortly after. “Yeah! When I came to Sugarcube Corner this morning, you both said whose turn it was to take over the cooking and the baking! Don’t tell me that you guys forgot that already!”

“Oh dammit, we got so caught up about being happy about seeing Goku again that we completely forgot about that!” Cupcake swore. “Sorry honeybun, I didn’t mean to snap at you like that.”

“It’s alright honey, let’s just take care of this smoke before it-” Whatever Carrot was going to say when a blasting sound emitted from the kitchen. “THE STOVE IS ON FIRE! MELON CAKE, QUICKLY, GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!”

“ON IT!!!” The voice of Melon shouted from within the kitchen. “DO YOUR WORSE FIRE, YOU’LL NEVER TAKE US ALIVE!”

“OW OW OW OW! MY TAIL! IT’S ON FIRE!!!” Cupcake screamed. “MY TAIL IS ON FIRE!!! SOMEPONY PUT IT OUT NOW!!!”

“MELON, BRING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ALREADY!”

“I’M GOING AS FAST AS I CAN!!!”

“WELL GO BUCKING FASTER!”

“CUP! CALM DOWN PLEASE!”

"SHUT UP! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S TAIL IS ON FIRE LIKE ITS IN AN OVEN! NOW PUT IT OUT BEFORE I PUT THE BOTH OF YOU OUT!"

"Y-YES MA'AM!"

“Oh my.” Snowflake said. “It looks like they’re really going crazy aren’t they? I knew they were this worked up, but my word.”

A huge sweat drop appearing on the back of Pinkie’s head and she blushed. “Yeah, sorry about that you guys. The Summer Sun Celebration is only hours away. So it’s only understandable that they’re…a little stressed.”

“Just a little.” Goku deadpanned. “Right.”

“Um, do any of you, um…want us to help?” Midnight asked timidly. “I know we’re supposed to be on a schedule, but we’re not really in any rush. Plus, there’s still plenty of daylight left, and the Celebration isn’t till later on tonight, so…”

“Actually, you know what? I think that’d be great.” Pinkie Pie asked with a relieved exhale. “The Cakes are really stressed out right now, and I think it’d be best for all of us if we have a few extra hooves to alleviate it.” She glanced down at Sheton with a small smile. “As well as a extra little ball of fluff to help keep them smiling.”

“Well, in that case, lead the way Pinkie Pie.” Goku said, spreading her hybrid wings and taking to the air. “You come on too Sheton! Let’s go!”

“R-right! I'm coming” Sheton nodded as he and the other four mares stormed into the kitchen.

Heh...not really much to say here other than I sort of changed Pinkie's family name and gave him a name similar to that of Luffy's and One Piece. Also, before you guys ask, yes, I have Pinkie Pie the actual ability to stretch as Luffy did when he ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit form Shank's safe back in Makino's bar. However, while this will have just the slightest bit of a One Piece crossover because of that, Pinkie has not eaten a Devil Fruit...sort of...I have that ability mixed up with another main power that she has that I plan to show later on in her and the rest of the girls adventure. If the Lycan D. part of Pinkie's name was any indication, which was the same name I gave little Melon Cake. Now, you guys may be wondering if there's some kind of connection between Pinkie and Melon because of that, and for that I would like to say I am not revealing anything yet, but I am planning something pretty surprising in the future.

Next time: The thestral siblings get a buck full of apples.
