Custard/Pupcake friendship.
I was watching the first of the new Strawberry Shortcakes and this came to mind.... It's completed instead of the Ginger/Angel knife fight that came to mind while I was watching it too, and a few other Strawberry/Orange concepts that came up, but this was strongest of all of them.
Strawberry Shortcake is copyright Those Characters From Cleveland, and subsidiary of American Greetings. I'm just borrowing the 'Grumpy'-like character to play with.

What on earth is wrong with you?
No really, I want to know.
I'm a cat you stupid dog. Damn it Pupcake, it's 3 in the freaking morning, can't you see that you're depriving me of precious, precious sleeping time.
How can you even see at all, it's pitch black, and last I checked, dogs don't have the best night vision. You're running around a like a chicken with it's head cut off. It's kinda... stupid in a way.
You're just going to hurt yourself if you keep running around like that.
... Told you so.
You can whimper all you want, I'm not going to help.
*sigh* Okay, I'll get the first aid kit.
How old are you any way? You've been here almost as long as I have, but you still never learned to speak. Though
I'm sure hitting your head isn't helping much at all. Brain swelling and all.
What? Did you expect better bandaging work? I have no opposable thumbs remember? And I'm not waking up Strawberry *OR* Apple, because they actually get to sleep usually, and I don't want to deal with either of them tired and cranky. You are enough of a 'Ray of Sunshine' to keep me busy, I don't need more company tonight.
No! You can't run and you shouldn't be trying. That's why I tied your legs together with the bandage. Just sit, relax.
Maybe even sleep tonight. For once.
Okay, if you don't want to sleep, at least stay put so you don't hurt yourself.
I don't know how you do it. You somehow are the physical embodiment of Chaos itself, you destroy any and everything you come in contact with, and worst of all completely forgo the need for beautiful, wonderful sleep, and Strawberry still trusts you. You could blow up the house, and she'd never blame you at all.
You could be pulling off the biggest scam of all time. I mean, even that ditzy horse Honey can talk. Not that she'd ever shut up. But you are forgiven of all sins, just because you're a bit slow.
You could have a doctorate in English for all I know. You're way to smart to be as stupid as you act. You know the exact place to 'hit' to cause the maximum amount of damage. No one can be that lucky or unlucky.
Just know I'm watching you puppy...
But first, a quick nap.

To explain. Custard starts off hating all life on the planet, until after listening to Honey babble for a few hours. Why? She was asleep. And she just had a huge cookie, and a saucer full of milk.
People who are lacking sleep and hungry tend to be very grumpy. Why would Custard be missing so much sleepand be so hungry?
Well, because Pupcake eats her food, and doesn't shut up. Ever. I'd be grumpy too.
Yeah, I lied about the friendship. Deal.
