Twilight stood outside hospital. Everyone thought she was crazy… no one listened…. No even thought to question Pinkie Pie on the matter. Pinkie was so- Happy and joyful! Not to mention kind and sweet, she would always say, "To make my friends smile, is what Pinkie is here to do!" Then she smiles a smile so wide and cute that all the male ponies would blush. Twilight however could not smile… not now anyway being in her state. She just stood. No talking, no looking around, no walking home. She waited for an answer in front of the hospital doors. The doctors had said that she was harmless, but damaged. She really must have seen something to put her head out of it so much. Still, her story was unbelievable!
Twilight sat for about an hour. The counter nurse watched with confusion. It was not long when she called Apple Jack to pick up the speechless pony. Of course she knew her, most ponies did! She did save their city a couple of time. Everyone knew of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. So it was easy for the nurse to call her friends up to help her.
Apple Jack came stomping in to the front of the hospital. Her face became pale and sorrowful when she saw Twilight standing there… so hopeless… "Come on sugar cube… Let's take you home. "Said Apple Jack, Twilight made no movement nor did she talk. She simply got up and followed the sad pony. Apple Jack thought as she led Twilight to her house. "Where is Rainbow Dash? Wherever she might have gone she should have been back by now… If she left forever why didn't she say goodbye? She would have told us at least." thought Apple Jack. She had just walked into town when she saw Pinkie jumping and smiling, "YAY! YAY! " Yelled Pinkie Pie, "Your back, I've missed you so much Twilight! Sorry I couldn't visit you at the hospital, but I had lots of things to do. You know how it is to have tons of work to do! But don't worry; I've been giving Spike plenty of yummy joules to eat!" Pinkie Pie laughed, but Twilight did not answer. Apple Jack backed up on Pinkie's words. "Twilight must be getting me going crazy too! I really feel as if Pinkie might be-"Apple Jack was interrupted by Pinkie as she thought, she jumped and smiled. "Have not seen you in a while either, Apple Jack how have you been?" Asked Pinkie Pie, "Well, I've been helping Twilight recover! She's um…. Been threw a lot! How come you didn't visit? Friends have always been more important than business to you Pinkie…. It's out of your character!" Pinkie smiled as she talked in a very low happy tone of voice. "Friends are more important! But it was just a little faint… Besides, if only you could see of all the work I do! And no one helps me…. So much work! It's unbelievable!" Apple Jack walked closer, "Well, Twilight has not been saying much lately! But I bet she would love to help you with your work! Sadly she's not in good shape…. She needs your help Pinkie Pie! Let me help you with your work! Then you'll have time to help Twilight, just tell me what you need help with." Pinkie Pie frowned but then slowly smiled as she hopped over to Twilight, "So you say Twilight isn't speaking? Let her help me! I bet I can make her talk! I'm always good at making my friends smile! But she has to come over when I'm working… It's important that I finish my work!" Apple Jack frowned at the thought, "What kind of work will you have her doing, you she can't do anything heavy?" "She'll just be making cakes with me! Taste testing them and such… You won't believe of how many ponies want my cake and cookies! It's exhausting! "Pinkie put her hoof over her head, wiping away a sweat drop. She was talking too fast. "Well I guess it sounds harmless enough… tomorrow then?" "You can bring her over now! I could really use the help!" Smiled Pinkie, Apple Jack hesitated, she bent down at the emotionless Twilight. "Twilight honey, do you mind going to help Pinkie Pie today?" Twilight shook her head sideways making a quiet, "No". Apple Jack handed Twilight over to Pinkie and watched them walk away. "I know it's not a good idea to bring Twilight with Pinkie Pie… but Pinkie pie is too kind and happy to do any of Twilight's claims! Maybe bringing them together will help change Twilights mind…." Apple Jack smiled and walked away.
Twilight walked slowly to the bakery as Pinkie Pie went on and on about how good ponies say her cupcakes are. "They say they're the best in town!" yelled Pinkie with excitement. "I'm telling you, it's the family recipe! Found it myself! But, it's hard to get…. I run out a lot." Twilight said nothing as she entered the bakery. Pinkie Pie led her to the back room to get to work. "Alright Twilight, It's time to get to work! First, we need a little taste testing! Try this-"Pinkie pulled out a single cupcake from the refrigerator and handed it to Twilight. Twilight for the first in days finally opened her eyes. Her heart pounded and her brain thought quickly to react. Twilight lifted up her head, showing the blood vessels in her eyes from the lack of sleep. She quickly put up her hoof and punched the cupcake out of Pinkie's right hoof. "Never, I'LL NEVER EAT THAT GARBAGE! I KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING PINKIE! AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO RAINBOW DASH! You killed her didn't you? I thought she was your best friend… how could Pinkie?" Twilight's voice was tired and faint, but Pinkie Pie understood every word. Her face became dark, her mane went flat, and the darkness within started to show. "I was making easy for you! All you had to do was just eat the cupcake! But now, I'm going have to do it the hard way!" Pinkie yelled. Twilight came running with anger to stop Pinkie. But Pinkie quickly pulled out a rolling pin made of wood and hit Twilight in the head making her unconscious.
