CHAPTER THREE: PINKIE VS THE TWINS
Once the twins had their bath, Pinkie Pie carried them to their room and she was checking the list when an unpleasant smell reached her nose. "What the-?" she began and gasped, clamping a hoof over her nose and mouth, turning to see that the babies were the source of the stench. "Smells like somepony needs me to changy-wangy their diaper-wiper right now-a-wow!"
Grabbing a pair of clean diapers and carrying them in her mouth, the pink pony began tiptoeing toward Pound Cake, who was beating blocks together, and Pumpkin Cake, who was sucking on her binky. "Easy… easy…" she whispered to herself, and just as she reached them, the twins spotted her and ran off, giggling.
Pinkie Pie sighed and went in search of the twins. It was another game of cat and mouse. Following the giggles, she soon found them hiding behind the changing table. Growling, she pounced on the babies and a fight ensured with them giggling throughout as she tried to get the diapers on them. "Wait- no- stay there- just- for a second- stand still, I've almost-"
After a few seconds, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake ran away, giggling, and they were still without diapers. The pink pony, on the other hoof, realized that she'd somehow gotten the diapers on her own bottom and on her head. "Oh, you've gotta be kidding me," she groaned when she heard the bell ring downstairs. "Oh! Thank goodness they're home!"
Racing back downstairs, Pinkie Pie opened the door to find Twilight Sparkle on the front steps.
"Hi!" said the purple unicorn. "I finished up the work I had to do, so I thought I'd stop by and see if you needed any help. Whoa!" She was startled when her friend dragged her inside and slammed the door shut.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming!" the pink pony gasped, yanking the diaper off her bottom. "I can't begin to tell you what my day has been like! I mean, these babies just won't listen to reason, and don't even get me started on their taste in stand-up comedy."
"It's okay, Pinkie," Twilight Sparkle said reassuringly. "I figured you would need some help. That's why I stopped by." And she began cleaning up the toys with her magic.
Pinkie Pie blinked. "Ex-cuse me?" she asked.
"Babies take a lot of work," the purple unicorn replied, "and some ponies are just not cut out to handle the responsibility."
The pink pony scowled. "Is that so?" She then shoved her friend out of the shop. "Well, thanks for stopping by, Twilight. Sorry, I don't have time to visit. I'm very very busy with my responsibilities here," she snapped.
"I'm happy to help!" Twilight Sparkle offered, turning to go back inside. "It's no trouble-" she grunted when the door slammed into her nose. "Ow!"
Just then, Sunrise Blossom trotted up and she blinked when she saw her twin rubbing her sore nose. "Uh, did you run into the door, Twi?" she asked.
Her sister shook her head. "No, I came by to help Pinkie with the babies," she responded. "And she threw me out just because I just mentioned that not all ponies can handle the responsibility of caring for babies."
"Oh boy," said Sunrise Blossom, sighing when Twilight Sparkle gave her a questioning look. "Twilight, I think Pinkie is trying to prove that she can handle the responsibility for caring for the twins."
"Oh," said Twilight Sparkle and glanced at the shop. "I put my hoof in my mouth didn't I?"
"'Fraid so."
Pinkie Pie paced around, grumbling to herself and yanking the diaper off her head. "Well, of all the– She thinks I can't handle things on my own!" She then paused and realized that her friend had been right. "Maybe because I haven't handled things on my own," she admitted to herself, and became determined. "Well, I can handle things on my own!"
The pink pony went back upstairs and peered into the bedroom, discovering that Pound Cake was jumping up and down in his crib while happily burbling, and Pumpkin Cake was numing on a rubber chicken, which was squeaking, and she was giggling.
Entering the room, Pinkie Pie stalked over to the crib and fixed Pound Cake with a stern look. "This is a crib," she lectured. "It is only to be used for napping, sleeping, and on occasion with permission, as a pretend old-timey Western fort. It is not a trampoline, so stop your jumping right now, mister!" And he stopped jumping, staring at her with a trembling lip.
She then turned her attention to Pumpkin Cake, who was giggling and numing on the rubber chicken. "And you, young filly," she scolded. "We do not put anything in our mouth that we cannot safely and properly digest, so stop slobbering on that toy this instant!" And she was silently relieved when the baby spit out the toy.
Pinkie Pie grabbed Pumpkin Cake, put in the crib with Pound Cake, and quickly got diapers on them. "Now, we've all had a very exhausting afternoon, and it's time for all good little foals to take their nap," she ordered. "So, fall asleep!"
The twin stared at the pink pony for several seconds, and then they both fell onto their backs, snoring.
Pinkie Pie sighed with relief, kissed them twice, and pulled a blanket over their sleeping forms. "Sleep tight," she whispered, pulling up the side of the crib and locked it into place. She then cleaned up the room, tossing the toy in the closest and the dirty diapers into the bin. "Now that's what I call handling things," she stated, turning off the light, and when she turned to shut the door, she gasped to see that the side of the crib was down and it was empty.
The twins were gone!
"Oh, nononono," Pinkie Pie moaned, searching the room for the twins. "Not good, not good, not good! Pound? Pumpkin? Where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
Hearing a toy squeak in the closest, she went over and opened the door, surprised to find Pumpkin Cake in there and squeaking the toy with her mouth. "Whoa!" She quickly grabbed the baby and put her back in the crib with the toy. "You be a good little girl now, Pumpkin-wumpkin, and stay in your crib for your pal Pinkie-winkie!" she pleaded and Pumpkin Cake responded by squeaking the toy repeatedly.
Rattled, Pinkie Pie went into the hallway, searching for the other baby. "Pound Cake?" she called out, clicking her tongue. "Here, Pound Cake!" She was unnerved by how dark the hallway was since the sun was setting and the wind was blowing through a partly opened window. She jumped when she heard Pound Cake's giggles echoing through the hallway. "Uh, Pound Cake? Uh…"
The pink pony checked on Pumpkin Cake, who was still in the crib and squeaking the toy. She was becoming increasingly nervous as Pound Cake continued to giggle while his sister kept squeaking the toy, and she was getting the eerie feeling that she was going to be attacked as in her mind, the tune from Psycho started play.
Hearing giggling overhead, Pinkie Pie looked up and saw that the colt was walking across the ceiling, using his wings to keep him afloat, and she squealed with alarm. "You can fly?!" She then recalled that Rainbow Dash had mentioned that the baby pegasus would probably be a strong flyer. Turning the light back on, she jumped and tried to grab him. "Oh… get down here… this instant… young… colt!" she gasped. "I'm responsible for you!"
Determined to get him down, the pink pony strapped suction cups to her hooves and she made her way up onto the ceiling, where she grabbed Pound Cake by the scruff of his neck. She carried him back down to the floor and she ended up dropping him when she saw Pumpkin Cake use magic to retrieve a butterfly toy, along with several other toys, from her crib and she giggled as it flew into her mouth and she began gumming it.
"Nom nom nom," said Pumpkin Cake as the other toys floated above her head.
'Great, now she's getting those power surges that Twilight Sparkle, Sunrise Blossom, and Rarity mentioned,' Pinkie Pie thought, going to the crib and took the butterfly away. "No no no, Pumpkin." She sighed when the baby magically put another toy in her mouth, which she also took away, and this happen with two other toys that she had to take away, too. "No." She then shoved them into the chest and locked it up. "Hmph! I am the responsible one, and I said no."
Just then, Pound Cake began flapping his wings and he went flying around the room. "Wheeee!"
"That goes for you too, Pound Cake!" the pink pony shouted and tackled him to the floor with a loud thud! "Gotcha!" she declared, but when he flapped his wings again, she got dragged out of the room. "I think?" she yelped and went thudding down the stairs. She got dragged through the kitchen and across the counter, getting splattered by several pies. She licked the purple filling. "Mm, razzleberry. I'm- not- letting- go! I'm- re-spon-si-ble!"
Pound Cake flew all over the room and then back up the stairs, Pinkie Pie thudding the whole time, and then back into the bedroom, where she lost her grip and he went flying around the room, giggling. She sat up, just in time to see Pumpkin Cake's horn glow blue as she used her magic to start flying around the room, following her twin. "Oh, not you too!"
Grabbing the playpen, the pink pony used it to bring the twins back to the floor, and she taped it to the floor, trapping them. "There!" she gasped. "Now who's the responsible one?" she announced and then her jaw dropped in horror when Pumpkin Cake used her magic to exit the playpen and freed the toys from the chest while Pound Cake pried the playpen up, and he went flying around the room, doing jubilant giggling.
Pinkie Pie couldn't take it anymore and she began sobbing. The twins stopped their antics and exchanged a look before leaving the room. She was still sobbing when the babies returned with a bag of flour, and as she looked at them questioningly, the twins posed and opened the bag.
Ploof! Went the flour, and they were now completely covered. The pink pony giggled. "Y'know, you're right," she agreed. "That is funny."
A/N: I say that the score is tied between Pinkie Pie and the twins. Oh, and so you know that I will be posting on Thursday, but it might be a bit later then normal since I have a staff meeting at one of my jobs that morning, and so I apologize in advance for the upcoming delay. See you all on Thursday! R&R everyone!
