Sugar Cube corner was as lively as ever. Ponies were filling in as Pinkie Pie was helping Mr. and Mrs. Cake with all the orders. The kitchen was just as hectic as the lobby of the building. Spike later came into the sweet shop after a majority of the ponies had left. Pinkie Pie greeted him at the counter.

"Hi-ya, Spike. What's up?" she said in her chipper voice.

"Hey Pinkie. Can I get a Sapphire Surprise please?" Pinkie gave him a nod.

"Oki-doki-loki." And he scampered back into the kitchen. As Pinkie was working in his treat, Spike sat on the floor and was playing around with Gummy.

"Here you are Spike. One fresh Sapphire Surprise." Pinkie handed him a vanilla cupcake with blue frosting and dawned with sparkling sapphires. Spike's eyes grew wide as he took his snack from Pinkie's hooves.

"Are you doing alright, Spike?" Pinkie Pie asked with a look of concern on her face. The little dragon looked up at her as he swallowed his cupcake.

"Yeah, I just miss Twilight a lot." Pinkie walked around the counter and hugged Spike.

"I miss her too, buddy. But you still have us."

"Well I better get back home now. Thanks for the cupcake Pinks."

"See ya later, Spike."

Later that night, Pinkie Pie was awoken by Gummy nudging her awake.

"What's wrong, Gummy?" the little alligator's stomach then started to grumble.

"Oh, you're just hungry." Pinkie giggled. She hopped out of bed and trotted down to the kitchen with her little green friend following close behind. Gummy sat by his food bowl while Pinkie was searching the cupboards for his midnight snack.

"Where is it? Where is it?" Pinkie Pie searched high and low. She them checked the fridge; the last possible place. "Oh, found it. Ohhh what's that?" something then caught her eye. It was a chocolate cupcake with pink strawberry frosting, garnished with rainbow sprinkles and a big cherry on top. There was even a small note attached to the wrapper. "For Pinkie" it read.

"I bet Mrs. C left this for me. That's sweet of her." Pinkie took the cupcake and Gummy's food out of the fridge. She sat the cupcake on the counter as filled up Gummy's bowl. The baby alligator was munching away, as Pinkie did the same with her treat. As she was eating, she noticed that something was odd.

"Hmm, I don't think I've tasted this flavor before. It almost tastes like chocolate and banana nut. But it's still good." And Pinkie ate the rest of her cupcake. Pinkie Pie sat by Gummy when she finished and she was waiting for him to do the same. After a few minutes, Pinkie's stomach was making noise and was starting to hurt. She just rubbed it, thinking it was from eating sweets so late at night. The pain then got worse; so bad that it made her curl into the fetal position, her arms wrapped around her tummy.

"What's wrong with me?" she groaned. The pain intensified and she could feel her throat start to close. She had her hooves up to her neck as she was slowly losing her air. Pinkie's face was turning purple and her eyes were bugged out and watering. She tried to call out for help but it was too late. Foam was spilling out of her mouth as she spent the next few seconds of her life writhing in agony on the kitchen floor. Pinkie then stopped struggling and her body went limp.

Gummy slowly walked over to Pinkie. He didn't fully understand what had happened. He just thought that she was asleep. Gummy started to nudge at her side, trying to wake her back up. Nothing. He even tried biting her leg to get a reaction out of her. Still nothing. Gummy then stopped and curled up next to her body, unaware that his loving owner would never wake up.

Fluttershy was walking up to Sugar Cube corner the next morning. She went up to the back door leading to the kitchen.

"Pinkie Pie." She called as she knocked. "I have those eggs you asked for." No one answered the door, so she slowly opened it.

"I hope you don't mind me coming in." she said as she entered the kitchen. Fluttershy then noticed Pinkie lying on the floor.

"Pinkie, what are you doing on the floor?" as Fluttershy got closer to her late friend, she let out a piercing scream and ran upstairs to get Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Fluttershy almost turned white as a ghost after seeing Pinkie's now green colored face, with foam coming out of her mouth as if she was rabid.
