Pinkie Pie: Oh! This one is heavy... Do we really need this much pumpkins?
Ms.Cake: Of course. There are going to be great lanterns for Nightmare Night. And now that Princess Luna assists to the festivities, the number of ponies keep growing.
Pinkie Pie: What? Really? This is going to be the best Nightmare Night ever! Oh! The amount of of candies.....
Ms.Cake: You can put this one here Pinkie.
Pinkie Pie: Oh! Right.
Pinkie Pie put the big pumpkin by the side of the Sugar Cube Corner's door.
Pinkie Pie: Pfew! That one was heavy even being empty.... Oh! Are the seeds ready?
Ms.Cake: Not yet. They need to dry before to be crunchy.
Pinkie Pie: Awww! I wanted some... All this work got me hungry...
Ms.Cake: Go inside, I prepared you something.
Pinkie Pie: Really! Oh boy!
Pinkie ran inside to found out some freshly baked but cooled pumpkin muffins on the counter with a black and orange frosting representing each of them a grimacing little pumpkin.
Pinkie Pie: Ohhhh! You already made some!
Mr.Cake: Yeah. We wanted to try a different recipe this year. We wanted you to try them so you can give us your opinion.
Pinkie Pie: Really?
Mr.Cake nodded.
Mr.Cake: That is the first batch, but I won't do more until you taste these. So... enjoy.
Pinkie was smiling ear to ear. She felt honored. But, when she was going to eat her first one, she got a dilemma. Which one to eat first. Each of them were differently decorated with a face. She felt they were watching at her. She didn't have the heart to eat a smiling muffins watching her.
Mr.Cake: What's the matter?
Pinkie Pie: Uh... They all look adorable with the decoration you put on... I just... have a hard time to choose.... which one to eat first...
Mr.Cake: Want one without frosting?
Pinkie Pie: No, no.... I just need to choose... this one? No. This one? No, just look at this face.... Oh! This one? No... look at its big smile.... Ohhh... But they all look adorable... and so delicous at the same time....
Mr.Cake sighted.
Mr.Cake: Are you sure?
Pinkie Pie: YES! I'M SURE! I'm sure they are all so good.... Oh....
Mr.Cake: Pinkie?
Pinkie Pie: Yes?
Mr.Cake took a muffin he had yet to frost and presented it to Pinkie.
Mr.Cake: Here's one without frosting and...
Pinkie Pie ran to the muffin and gob it in a move of her tongue. She chew it, smiling and tasting it. Until the smile disapeared and one with big eyes and a red face.
Pinkie Pie: Hot!!! Hot!!!!!!!!!
Mr.Cake: What? What do mean by hot? We didn't put any hot spice in our pastries. Let alone muffins.
Pinkie was breathing heavily.
Pinkie Pie: I don't know what you.... *heavy breathing* put in those but.....* heavy breathing* they sure are spicy!!!!
Mr.Cake: It can't be! We followed the recipe! Maybe we made a mistake...
Pinkie Pie gone in the kitchen findind something to drink to calm down the heat. She finally decided to open the tap of the kitchen's sink and took a couple of sips. Mr.Cake came into the kitchen as well to check the recipe who was still on the table close to the bowl he used to mix the paste. Pinkie's heat extinguished, she sighed of relief.
Pinkie Pie: Maybe you put a wrong ingredient. It can happen...
Mr.Cake: I hope you're right.
It's at this moment that Ms.Cake appeared in the door frame of the kitchen entrace.
Ms.Cake: What is going on?
Mr.Cake: The muffins I made were rather...
Pinkie Pie: Spicy! It is not that I didn't like the taste. It was deeeeellllicious!!!!! Yummy!!!
Mr.Cake: But the ponies won't like this kind of muffin and we won't be able to sell them....
Ms.Cake: How many have done with this mix?
Mr.Cake: Ummmm.... with the one that Pinkie ate.... around 23.
Ms.Cake: That much?
Mr.Cake: Hummm ummm...
Ms.Cake: Oh! It would be waste to put them in the trash...
Pinkie Pie: We won't throw them away. We are going to sell them.
Mr.Cake and Ms.Cake was staring at Pinkie, all surprised.
Mr.Cake: What? We can't...
Pinkie Pie: Of course we can. *giggles* We are going to sell them as.... Nightmare Night's Super Surprise Pumpkin Muffins!
Ms.Cake: Ummmm.... are you sure?
Pinkie Pie: They will want to try those specialy made muffins for that night...
Mr.Cake: Uh.... Pinkie?
Pinkie Pie: Yes?
Mr.Cake: Nightmare Night is in a week.... and those muffins won't last until then...
Pinkie Pie was going to say something, but she closed her mouth.
Pinkie Pie: Oh welll.... I'll eat them all. Since no other ponies will want them. No waste! Especially muffins and...
Derpy: Oh! New muffins! Pumpkin muffins! Yay!
At this moment, a client arrived at the counter. A grey mare pegasus with a blond mane and golden eyes with strabism appeared.
Mr.Cake: Uh... yes. But we can't sell them..
Derpy: Why not? Are they poisonous?
Mr.Cake: Uh.... no.
Derpy: Then, why not?
Mr.Cake: Uh....
Pinkie Pie: They are special.
Derpy: Really?
Pinkie Pie: Yeah. They have a special flavor especially for Nightmare Night. Want to try one?
Derpy: YES!!!!
Derpy took a bite in one, without paying any attention to the face it was decorated on. She chewed, smiling. Her smiled faded and followed with the wide eyes and grimace of the reaction of eating spicy food.
Derpy: Woah! This is spicyyyyyyy....
Pinkie Pie: Like I told you. Surprised?
Derpy was breathing heavily for cooled down her tongue to the spicy flavor of the muffin.
Derpy: I'll take twelve!!!
Mr. and Ms. Cake were amazed that somepony would buy one those. Pinkie Pie, took a douzen of the spicy pumpkin muffins and put them in a box with a rope to keep the cover closed. She presented the box to the pegasus who gave her her bits and she took it away in her mouth. She trotted to the door, still breathing heavily from the spice on her mouth.
Pinkie Pie: Thank you! Come again!
Mr.Cake: Well, at least a good part was sold. And the rest? We still have ten more....
Pinkie Pie: Oh! I know what to do... I'll take six.
Mr.Cake: Oh? What for?
Pinkie Pie was grinning. They took six of them and put them in a smaller box, then put the box somewhere in the kitchen.
Pinkie Pie: Oh.... I think Dashie will have a great surprise when she'll try one after I gave her them.... Oh! Sorry. I was thinking outloud. You won't tell Dashie, uh? Please.
Mr. Cake was looking at her.
Mr.Cake: No, I won't. About the last four...
At this moment, Pumpkin and Pound Cake, after her afternoon nap, arrived at the counter and without hesitation, they gobbed the last four muffins... to their big spicy surprise. They both ran and flew to the kitchen sink right after the hotness of the muffins took place in their foals' palet.
Pinkie Pie: Well, there you are. No wasted muffins.
Mr. and Ms. Cake were relieved. Until somepony came into the bakery.
Pony: Is it the place where you can buy those yummy spicy muffins?
Mr.Cake was surprised by the question.
Mr.Cake: Well, yes...
Another pony came in asking the same question. And another... and another.....
Pinkie Pie: Yes, everypony! This is the place for the Nightmare Night's Super Surprise Pumpkin Muffins! We are going to sell them at Nightmare Night! Only at Nightmare Night! So tell everypony!
They were all disapointed, but eager to eat another one. Mr and Ms Cake thanked them all for coming and remembered them to come back at Nightmare Night.
Ms.Cake: It seems your mistake became.... a succes, dear.
Mr.Cake: Yes, it seems.... I just hope to make the mistake.... yet again. We better work on this... Uh... Pinkie?
Pinkie Pie: Yes?
Mr.Cake: Are you really going to give those to Rainbow Dash?
Pinkie Pie: Yes, why?
Mr.Cake: I may need one to be sure to have the same recipe...
Pinkie Pie: Oh! No need! Since I tasted it I found out what was the secret ingredient. The... secret .... ingredient....
Mr.Cake: Yeah.... and what is it?
Pinkie Pie went into the kitchen to take the box with the six spicy muffins and trotted to the shop's door.
Pinkie Pie: I'll tell you.... right after I give those to Dashie. I'll be back in an hour....
Mr.Cake: Uh.. okay. See you later.
Pinkie Pie opened the door with a hoof and closed it behind her, humming and smiling while trotting in the direction of Rainbow Dash favorite nap spot.
Pinkie Pie: She is going to be sooooooooo surprised.....

Just a few more days.... (MLP short story)

It was a bright sunny morning in Ponyville. The birds were singing, the town was awakening and in Twilight's castle, the purple bibliophile princess just finished her third book since last evening with a yawn."Wow. That was so worth it. Mmm. W-what time is it?" she said with a confused voice."It's past seven." Spike replied with a stern voice from the door frame, arms crossed.The surprise awoke the pony slightly. "Spike?""Ugh! You did it again? You know that you're not a student anymore Twilight?" he said with a fatherly tone.She let a sigh. "I know Spike." She began to stretch by raising her fore hooves in the air."And yet you break your ...
