The pegasus beamed happily and cutely as she saw all her friends reunited around the large table in the dining room, the balloons attempting to float towards the roof, but chained to slavery by strings to keep a normal altitude, and the cornucopia of edibles in the main dining table. It was a lovely demonstration of care and friendship, mutual love and affection, performed by her colleagues and friends, all of them presenting themselves to this adorable reunion solely for an important fact; it was a very very special day for the sweet motherly yellow Pegasus.
In the left corner of the room, we could see a gray batpony mare standing (very) tall and proud, with a red stripe in the middle of her black mane, her blood red eyes looking at Sweet Bun with a happy smile. Next to her, an elegant-looking white Pegasus with blond mane and jade-colored glasses stood firmly, his blue jacket being his uniform for the advisor duty to Princess Celestia herself, someone the baker Pegasus was friends with. A bit more on the center, but next to them both, was also the cute Fluttershy-like clone, though with slightly messier mane, yet still the pink pigment and the soft yellow fur, his name being Woj-Tek and his soft demeanor portrayed by his shy yet outgoing expression.
Meanwhile, on the right corner of the room, we could find a purple unicorn looking expectantly at the birthday mare, with bubblegum-like pink and blue hair and heterochromic blue-teal eyes, staring into Sweet’s soul adorably, her cute horn lightened up in a greenish magical aura as she proceeded to lit the candles of the birthday cake. On her right, there was a big, like, really big, vampirepony, of gray fluffy dense soft fur hidden under a leather jacket, and light blue eyes with slit pupils; he sported a tired, weary, yet still cute smile, like if he was trying his best to look happy, because he was. And on the left of the Background Pony in the bunch, there was an also gray unicorn with brownish mane in a ponytail behind him, his dorky adorable smile one of the cutest the world has ever seen, like an excited child about to eat pizza. It was clear he was attempting to hide his excitement. Behind him, almost like if they were hiding, two plane pones sat on, foreshadowing something fun that’d happen later as they kept behind the unicorn, but still demonstrated vividly their emotions of delight and cheerfulness.
To say that Sweet Bun was expecting this… would’ve been a bit of a lie, in a “Yesn’t” way of sorts. Well, technically she did know today was her birthday, and she did know that they were preparing something, just from a wild guess considering they’re her best friends, but she definitely didn’t expect for them to sneak up an entire cake, other snacks, beverages and the whole decorations while she was casually walking around her mansion… Well her mansion is very big but still suddenly going into your once-empty room to find a conglomeration of ponies was shocking to say the least. She let out cute tears of joy as she saw the beautiful scene unfold in front of her very eyes, feeling happy she had her fun in the that silly April Fools game and she was able to meet such nice people. Words couldn’t describe how she felt, so she didn’t utter any at first, just walking forward as all eyes, heterochromic or not, slit pupils or not, were focused on her, gauging her reaction of deep love of this…

………………………………
It was around 10 hours later after the initial meet up. Sweet Bun had a great day today in her own mansion, celebrating her own birthday parting and having lots of fun. They even had snacks for the blood-drinking Dark to enjoy, which was impressive considering that Sweet Bun was more often than not the one that cooked these. Either way, the relatively tired Pegasus walked upstairs, a permanent smile of happiness and satisfaction in her face as her tired hooves directed her motion slowly, step by step. The soft frogs posing themselves onto the hard wooden surface as they leaded her directly into her own bedroom, to take a well-deserved nap after all that cake and beverages and food. The party had went fantastically, which was to be expected in hindsight, considering how she was the team mom of said group of friends, even jokingly referred to as “NLR’s mom”, hanging a neat lampshade on that very fact. She was always there for them, she loved them all very much, she enjoyed having fun with them, and more often than not she was there to support them and make them feel better. Everybody on the group valued her highly and dearly, so they wanted to return the favor partly with the party.
At last, she had managed to arrive home, sweet home; the comfy bedroom of hers, that immediately evoked tired and sleepy effects on her psyche the moment she walked through the doorframe… Curiously, the door was already open, which portrayed someone had entered into her room and specifically wanted her to know. This caused a fair deal of consternation on her, as she slowly approached the door, opening it and looking inside… Nothing out of the ordinary it seems… except that there’s a note on the bed. Her fluffy hooves allowed her to walk up to it and read what it said in there.
“Mwhahaha. We kidnapped your plushie! Come take it at Bashy’s room! If you dare >:3 (sic)”
She let out a light snort as she kept staring at the paper. It was clear it was one of the plone’s handwriting on it, using a pencil, and with some hasty mistakes erased if the little blurs of dark gray graphite were any indication. The content of such an ominous letter made her look up, towards her bed, and accurately, there wasn’t her plushie of Princess Celestia among the pillows and blankets. That plushie was just recently gifted to her in her very own birthday, mere hours ago, and she had put it on the bed to snuggle with it later. But it wasn’t here anymore.
Sweet followed the instructions that were indicated on the little paper sheet attentively, proceeding to exit her own bedroom and walk to one of the many guest’s rooms her expansive home featured. She internally made the thought process as to where said room was, considering that with so many rooms it could feel like a labyrinth at times. Some couple steps dozen forwards from her own bedroom… and then a turn to the left… second door to the right. Yes that one would be Bashy’s bedroom, if she remembered correctly from the times she went to visit him with food or snuggle the crap out of the plone when he felt sad. Attempting to be sneaky (Which she was rather good at, surprisingly… Not Dark-levels or BackgroundPony-levels sneakiness but she could probably ninja Dust or Lightpoint), she tip-toed towards the slightly open door, reminiscent of a scary movie, as she slowly yet carefully peeked onto the interior.
Nothing out of the ordinary in sight. In fact it seemed like Bashy’s bedroom was just that, a cute shy plone’s bedroom, without anything interesting like a kidnapped plushie or any crime perpetrators standing nearby. From the little peeking she did, she assumed that there was nothing ready to spring onto her. And as such, she entered. Too bad, she would’ve appreciated the help of something like a SWAT’s Optiwand/Mirror Guns that allowed to observe the entire room without needing to enter…. Either way, the baker Pegasus was already inside, carefully stepping on the hard floor, her hooves making almost no noise… almost
Thing is, she was attempting to sneak into the room of a catplone, and the cat part of his biology meant that he had better audition than normal ponies, and with cute fluffy and very pettable kitty ears to boot. So her sneaking attempt, while brave and bold, was ineffective since she was heard even before she approached Bashy’s door, particularly because some wooden panels were a little bit squeakier than usual, giving away her position and compromising the safety of such a secret operation…
“SURPRISEEEEEEE” As expected, she was ambushed, falling right into the trap. She looked upwards towards the flying blurry white figure charging towards her, like if it was an animatronic about to jumspcare and finish her game… well to be fair it wasn’t too far away from being an animatronic. The rocket plone, darting towards her like an bullet, collided with her floof, pinning her against his fluffy body on top as she managed to tackle down the adorable baker Pegasus onto the ground with a good center-of-mass hit that shifted her weight far past her support points (Her hooves), sending her backwards into a cute flop
But the voice of the white plane pony wasn’t the only one that was heard. Sweet Bun was attentive enough to accurately discern and recognize three different ponies in the surprise chant they did. Still, due to the hit by a battering ram of fluffiness and love that she just experienced first-hand, she was left for fate to reveal itself who were the owners of the criminal enterprise of stealing plushies… or more like for Dust and Azure to come out of their impromptu hideout with wide open smiles of joy. “Hiiiii. I know we already had you a party downstairs but this one is personal for you, you privileged pegasus~” the gray unicorn said, as the alluded Pegasus attempted to regain a sitting position with a Bashy tightly snuggling her midsection.
“Oh? And what is it the surprise you three had? B-Bashy dear I really love how you want to snuggle me but let me stand back up please, could you?” The adorable Pegasus (And bug queen sometimes) said with a soft, kind, gentle voice, petting the plone softly, as Bashy let go off his tackle-hug, although very progressively. Soon, they were all standing like a cute meeting of sorts, as Azure brought out from their hideout a massive cake the trio had done. The reason why they had done this for Sweet Bun is because they were the best of friends each other, forming a cute little triangle of love and acceptance and happiness as they all valued the other highly and deeply.
Dust couldn’t handle his giddy foal-like excitement as he almost pranced in place, smiling cutely and dorkily at the Pegasus with a soft visage. “Since you like… wait why I’m explaining this I might as well surprise you with it~” and, eschewing the original part of his plan that had him explaining to the Countess what he was going to do, his horn lit up a soft cyan blue, the magical aura dancing and flickering like a bonfire at night as his size magic proceeded to affect the occupants of the room. Well, the unicorn, the birthday girl and a blue plane pony.
The lovely and motherly Pegasus closed her eyes as the process started, and when she felt the magic aura around her fade away, she slowly opened them back. “Oh?” She exclaimed cutely, looking down at herself and around her. She was the same Sweet Bun as before, and Dust was Dust, to not mention Azure was completely fine too… the new thing noteworthy of focus is that they weren’t supported on the hard wooden floor anymore, but their hooves were posed on something a bit squishier and soft. Years of experience in the pastries field made Sweet instantly recognize the feeling as cake icing, and the connections worked in her brain, appropriately guessing she was just shrunken down and put into her secondary cake. “Oh? I really like this” She expressed, smiling as she blushed a bit at the fact she was now really tiny compared to mere minutes ago. She honestly expected Dust to tower over them all, looking over at the cake with mischievous but ultimately good intentions, but Dust was also the size of a strawberry, trying to accommodate himself on the wobbly surface.
The only one who hadn’t been affected was Bashy, who was still the adorably smol plane pony, conserving his original size. But his normal size, despite not changing at all, was massive for the cake-dwellers. It felt like if he was the one who had control of the cake and it’s surroundings, and like if he wanted to tease them both with his height advantage, though then again the reason he didn’t shrink yet was more… practical. “Hey Bashful, why didn’t you shrink down with us? Come on it’s gonna be fun!” Dust cooed the plone, inciting them to elicit cute size-play shenanigans, but Bashy was taking care of something important they all missed. “Wait just a bit… I guess you don’t want for Dark to randomly come and find an unattended cake and go nom nom with us on it? Or Background Pony?” And then he closed the door with the lock, before proceeding to also lock the windows (Dark had a funny tendency to also use those as impromptu entry points) and use his own shrinking powers to seal the deal. A faint red glow, a bright flash of light, and he was next to Sweet Bun, about x20 times smaller his original for was.
“Awww you’re so cute!” Dust said, refocusing back on Sweet Bun. It was funny seeing him basically fangirl for the baker’s pone diminished figure even though he also was affected by the same kind of arcane powers. Still, the compliment was heartfelt, and Sweet Bun could only blush cutely, looking aside softly. “Oh shush you~” She responded, rubbing her hoof in a bit of embarrassment. A quick look at the cake in itself made her have a wild guessing that this was a banana cake with chocolate icing, strawberries and whipped cream, a rather unexpected invention since she was more often than not the one that cooked these kind of desserts in this lovely group of friends. But her quick taste test was interrupted as suddenly, a brownish, goopy substance hit her cheek, delivering a fatal blow which sent her back to the icing.
She reincorporated herself rather quickly, as she noticed Dust was the responsible for knocking her out, playing with the icing. His hooves were messy with the substance that was the one that dared to tumble the great and powerful Countess Sweet Bun, and she looked at her with a playful, mischievous smile, that one he always sported when he was proactive and did cute stuff to make others happy. “Oh is it on now!” Sweet Bun replied gleefully, before taking advantage of her downed-like stance and using both forehooves to quickly propel an onslaught of chocolate icing towards Dust, the latter blocking a major part of the offensive with his shoulders and arms, though his mane and head were hit. It didn’t matter they were getting dirty with icing and all that, because if anything they’d wash it all out together, maybe even at the same bathtub them all. All it mattered right now was making Sweet happy, and, judging by her lovely expression, the objective was complete.
“And where’s my plushie by the way? Do I have to punish you two for stealing my plushie?~” Sweet added, quickly remembering the reason she was here, just as icing was shotgunned into her mouth and face by an Azure who quickly joined the literal foodfight, escalating even further the confrontation. The white plone with black mane, who stared at them both struggling cutely on top of the cake’s surface, quite possibly machinating a devious strategy for carpet bombing them both with the chocolate icing, proceeded to give his own reply about the matter; “O-Oh! W-We d-didn’t kidnap it don’t worry, i-it is under the blankets, I-I hid it under the pillow… I-I wouldn’t genuinely steal your plushie, h-heh”
Aeaaaaaaaaaaa why I took so long for this rip. Anyways this is an adorable and very cutesy drawing I did for one of my best friends forever and ever and queerplatonic cutie partner; Sweet Bun! She’s a really amazing person and I’m always glad that I was able to meet her and that I participated in this thread in the first place. She’s really kind, sweet, motherly, adorable, and she’s always there and ready to comfort or help others in time of need, even when she’s going through bad situations herself. That’s why she deserves a beautiful and lovely birthday today and many more to come, with all the love and happiness directed towards her, she’s a cute angel that deserves all the love in the world and that I’d hug if she was in front of me <3 <3 <3
The original idea for the drawing was courtesy of one of my best friends; Twiny Dust. I’m awfully bad at coming up with something to draw for birthday gifts, so he gave me an adorable idea of the three size-magic pones giving her a lovely and funny experience, and I complied with that instruction.. So thank you Twiny Dust for the idea I appreciate it <3.
Here we have our cutesy and adorable birthday girl in her very special day, playing with Dust and Azure on the surface of her own birthday cake. She’s probably going to end up with lots of icing all around, but I don’t think she minds that. Also just imagine feasting upon that cake in such a tiny size :3.
CountDerpy was supposed to post this artwork herself, because I generally don’t post gift arts I do for other people (I feel like it’s taking advantage on a sign of friendship just to get upvotes and faves), but since she hasn’t been able to all these days I decided to do it myself. Especially because she can’t right now.
