Home Ec MWF (but open to ANYONE): Cotton Candy Clouds! [ACTION]

[laughafterme]

[This week is BREAKFAST WEEK, and since Pinkie pretty much eats sugar for breakfast, everyone is going to catch random cotton candy clouds!

No, this is not a trick or joke! Seems like Balamb Garden is still plagued with weird events. The trees have green trunks and brown leaves, the flowers are singing seasonal songs, and Pinkie is on a trampoline with a large net. That last part is not so out of the ordinary, however.]

EVERYBODY! [BOUNCE] GRAB A-- [BOUNCE] TRAMPOLINE AND-- [BOUNCE] NET!

[You heard the lady!]

[She's by no means heavy, so this doesn't even make him twitch.]

Pinkie, while strange and curious events are quite your style, I can't help but feel like you might know a little something about this particular sort of madness.

[laughafterme]

[In that case, she'll just stay there!]

Huh? Oh, I dunno what's going on! I thought YOU did!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

I am flattered that you think so highly of me! But I'm taking the sight of these clouds a little more roughly than you are.

[laughafterme]

....really? [She starts to squint at the clouds, then closes one eye.] They look pretty fluffy to me! They taste pretty YUMMY, too!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

I admit I am somewhat concerned about their composition. Even in the Netherworld, milk came from cows, and eggs came from chickens -- neither chocolate nor cooked, I might add. These ingredients have not been given their proper respect in this form!

[laughafterme]

...is that a BAD thing? [Because that all sounds pretty cool to her!] It's been pretty BORING around here, anyway!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Which is better? A cupcake I have made for you, or one that has simply appeared out of nowhere?

[laughafterme]

Oh MAN! That's a doozie!

[She thinks about that.]

Which one is faster?!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Neither of them can move, Pinkie, they are cupcakes.

[laughafterme]

Then why are you making me choose?!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Then let me put it to you another way: If a cupcake simply appears, without ever being baked, where is the heart in its making? Where is the joy of making it?

[laughafterme]

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT?!

The heart and joy is all in the person eating it! DUH!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

But the baker takes joy in its appreciation! Otherwise, she would never give a cupcake to another person to enjoy!

[laughafterme]

But cupcakes are for EVERYONE! They bring happiness to mouths and tummies!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

And do you take no delight in seeing others enjoy a cupcake you have made for them? Does giving a person a gift warm your heart no more than gazpacho?

[laughafterme]

You have a nasty cough, Chammy!

ANYWAY, as long as they like it, who cares!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

[Clearly he is not getting through! Champloo rubs his chin a moment, thinking.]

Suppose a friend desires chocolate muffins. What do you do?

[laughafterme]

[She just doesn't agree with him.]

Get them one! And one for myself!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

But what if the cupcakes that magically appear from nowhere are not chocolate?

[laughafterme]

We'll just have to eat them anyway! We can't waste good cupcakes!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

But could you not give the non-chocolate cupcakes to other people, and bake chocolate ones for your friends?

[laughafterme]

...why would I do that?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Because then your friends get the kind of cupcakes they want, and other people get cupcakes they did not expect! There is more enjoyment all around!

[laughafterme]

...maybe, but my friends aren't THAT picky! Except Rarity. But she's a special case!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Perhaps not picky, but would they not feel honored and pleased if you made an extra-special effort to give them what they wanted?
