As though it wasn't her thing, baking cakes, Twilight Sparkles did her best, with Spike and a couple of books for assistance. "Flour...eggs...sugar..." murmured Twilight as she poured in the ingredients into a bowl.

"This sucks!" Spike complained. "Why can't we just use magic to bake the cake?" he grumbled and moaned all the way through the baking-party-cake process.

"Because," Twilight Sparkles told him. "Pinkie Pie is our friend. She's feeling not-so-like-herself lately, and we're here to throw her a party to cheer her up! Now, Spike-where's the sugar? You gave me salt! I don't need salt, silly-I need sugar-not salt!"

Spike grumbles and he gives Twilight a jar of pepper, instead of sugar, which Twilight had asked for. Twilight groaned in frustration. "Spike! I said sugar! You gave me pepper!" she told him impatiently.

Spike's grumbling and grunting only got louder as he handed over, (finally!) the correct substance, sugar, to Twilight.

The plan to cheer up Pinkie Pie was going well. Pinkie Pie hadn't been at all suspicious, at all. On the cooking table, there was a drawing of how the cake was going to look like-drawn by Rarity, who officially designed the cake. As Pinkie Pie is the star cooker, Twilight Sparkles had to take over and cook the cake for the party. Process was going smoothly, but with a few bumpy edges.

"Spike!"

"Oh, uh...sorry...I guess I..."

"No! This is a disaster! I don't want to start the cake again!" Twilight Sparkles put her head in her hands and groaned in annoyance. All the ingredients of the cake; including the flour, raw eggs and sugar mixed together, were split all over on the kitchen floor! Fluttershy, after hearing the commotion, flew over to the kitchen to see what was going on, with Angel by her side. Fluttershy opened her mouth and gawped at what she saw. The cake; ruined, all over the floor with the ingredients! "Oh my!" she whispered. "But don't worry. Just start it again!"

Twilight dumped her head onto the table. "No! This is horrible. But just as well, I will." she sighed as she collected another batch of eggs and another bowl.

"Wait!" Spike shouted. "How about we use...you know, magic? To, you know! It could make the cake-making a lot easier!" he started to rummage out some potions, but Twilight stopped him. "Look here, Spike. I know we love to do potions and perform magic, but we honestly can't. Don't even think about it." she told him softly.

"I'll leave it all to you. Good luck..." Fluttershy said and fluttered out of the room.
