Inspired by the title of http://pastebin.com/SBMzQXpL   Batterscotch: >"Thanks for helping me out today, Butterscotch!" says the prancing pink party pony. >"Oh, it's no trouble, Bubble." responds, Scotch, currently mixing something into something else in a large bowl. >"Though, I was just a little bit surprised when you called me over." He continues. >"And why's that?" says the ever-cheery Bubble Beery, currently getting a large cake pan from a cabinet. >"Well," explains Scotch. "you didn't call me over to, say, help with the babies, or a big rush of customers." >"Nope! Just to help me bake this cake!" finishes Berry, hopping to another room in the building, blissfully. >"Well, y-yeah, that's just it." continues Butterypancakescotch. >"The recipe seems very simple, and you're such a great baker...I guess I'm just wondering if you really couldn't do it yourself." >At that, Bubble sticks his head out of an open cupboard in the room, and gives a tense look to Butterscotch. >"N-n-not that there's anything wrong with that." says Scotch, equally frightened by the expression on his friend's face, and his friend's apparent ability to defy space. >"I-I'm sorry." he finishes in a voice tinier than his tomboyish Breezy pal, Riverwind. >"Don't worry about it!" counters Bubble, cheerful as ever before disappearing back into the cabinet, and hopping, whole-body, out of another one. >Relieved, if still perplexed, Scotch begins to carry the batter he's made to the pan Berry got out and placed on the counter across the room. >He's halfway there when- >"Actually, Butterscotch, I have a confession." >"I didn't call you over to help me bake. That was just an excuse."   >"Oh?" asks Butterscotch in a sweet tone. >"An excuse for what?" >"An excuse..." says Berry in an exaggeratedly 'foreboding' manner, tilting his head at a funny angle and everything. >"..to show you this!" he finishes, brandishing a bright, red feather. >... >"Bubble, I've seen synthetic feathers before." says Scotch, activating his King of the Animals powers, and identifying the item as fake immediately. >"Well...OK." says, Bubble dejectedly. >"I didn't call you over here to show you my tickling feather." continues the stallion, seemingly ashamed. >"I called you over hear, cause...I realized something about me and you, Scotch..." >Scotch's eyes widen. >"Bubble Berry, are you trying to tell me that-" he thinks he knows where this is going. >And where he thinks this is going is to his secret gay crush telling him he returns the feeling. >"I realized...I've never ticked you while you were carrying a bowl full of cake batter!" >And at that, the pink pone scores a series of critical hits with the vorpal instrument of tickle he wields. >Butterylobsterscotch is sent into a hysterical fit of laughter. >And the bowl he was carrying is sent into the space immediately above his head. >Where it flips over, and lands on him, covering him utterly with the sweet mixture. >At this moment, Dusk Shine would walk in to the bakery, and see what appeared to the be the result of Cousin Itt knocking up a cupcake, standing in the middle of the room, while Bubble Berry pointed and laughed at it so hard he could barely breathe.   >"Pinkie- I mean, Berry." said Dusk Shine, managing a slight, sudden nose bleed. >"What's going on?" >Berry manages to stop snorting with laughter long enough to catch his breath. >"Well, it's a good thing you're here, Dusk!" he said enthusiastically. >"I was pranking Butterscotch a little, and he got totally. covered. in cake batter! Ha!" >The laughter starts up again. >"So....why is it good I'm here?" inquired Desk Shoe. >"Because!" responded Bubble with a mighty leap that allowed him to scrape a bit of gum off the ceiling with his tongue. >"You can clean him off lickedy split with your magic!" >Butterscotch thought to himself that he'd rather Bubble Berry clean him off, in a very literal 'lickedy split' fashion. >But he said nothing. >"Yeah, I guess that makes sense." relented Duck Shiver, his horn lighting up slightly. >It was at that moment, that Bubble Berry realized he had never tickled a unicorn who was casting a spell. >"That's right, I haven't! Thanks, Mr. Third-Person Omniscient!" >Dike Sherry stops casting his spell in confusion. >"Bubble, who are you-" >"Never mind that, Shiny! Just your pal Bubble Berry being a wacko, that's all!" interrupted the pink prankster, trying not to blow his cover. >"Rrrrright..." says the purple nerd, returning to his casting, as Bubble 'concession stand' Berry snuck up on him with the feather. >Scotch saw this, and his eyes went wide, but his mouth had become too stuck together with the batter to speak.   >The feather makes contact, juuuuust as Disk Ship is about to skeet the spell from his horn. >His concentration is shot like Old Yeller, but the spell goes off anyway. >Scotch finds himself bathed in a brilliant purple light. >And when it clears, he finds himself standing in the middle of the room, seemingly okay. >"Ooooooh~" says Bubble Berry. >"W-what?" responds Scotch, nervously. >"Your mane's different!" said Berry. >"Everything's the same color your coat usually is. Even your eyes. No! Wait! It's a liiiittle bit lighter." >"What did you do, Berry?!" asks Dual Shuffle, worriedly. >"I dunno." said, Berry, taking the opportunity to duckface. >"But if Scotch can still talk and see your magic can't have messed him up too-too bad!" said Bubble, questioning if maybe he should have spelled it 'tutu bad', and made some kind of ballerina joke. >Butterscotch, nervous, uses a hoof to move a lock of his mane to where he can see it. >Or rather, he tries to, and instead, they stick together, and he finds it difficult to sort out where his leg ends and his coif begins, even in his mind. >Which, itself, was partially sugar. >Realizing with no small degree of fear that he had been fused with the cake batter, he gasp-shouted loudly, and jumped backwards in reflex. >This action caused his body to lose it's shape from the force, and he was reduced to a big lump of enchanted cake batter with scared eyes, sitting on the floor.   >"Okay...okay..." he repeated, trying to find an ounce of composure as he stared at the shocked expressions on his friends' faces. >And succeeding, despite winning the Ponyville Excellence in Wussiness award seven years running. >"Let's...let's not panic now, guys." said Scotch, being spared the sight of the dripping, string-filled horror that was his mouth now. >"I'm sure...there's some way...to get me back to normal." he continued, speaking slowly so as to stave off panicking. >"Some kind of...reverse spell or something. Right, Dusk Shine?" >"Y-yeah." said Dusk Shine, being in no way sure of there was anything that could fix this. >"I'm sure there's something that can fix this." >"Okay." responded Scotch, still fending off his own fear like a champion. >Dusk shut his eyes and began talking of magic rules, components, and precedents very quickly to himself, trying to rack his brain for a solution. >Scotch simply watches Dusk go, hoping he'll come up with something soon. >Neither one of them had their eye on Berry, who was staring, wide-eyed and uncharacteristically silent. >He started creeping towards Batterscotch in a curiosity-fueled trance. >He could not hold any thought in his mind, except wonder over what his accidental creation might taste like. >And so it was not long until he was within hooves-reach of Baetterscootch. >And he quickly swiped a very small piece of the blob monster he had made away from itself, and popped it in his mouth.   >Dusk could only stare horrified at what his least-predictable friend had done. >He had ATE part of Butterscotch. >Butterscotch himself was on a whole different level of horror. His eyes widened so much they looked like plates, and he peed pure vanilla extract onto the floor. >"B...Bubble Berry!!" shouted Dusk, furious. >"That was *unbelievably* reckless! What if we can't fix him now because that was his liver or something?!" >"It...wasn't..." said Scotch, squeaking in a combination of pain, shock, and pure terror. >"That was...my left testicle." >"Ohhhhhh!" he began to weep streams of maple syrup. >Which was puzzling, as no maple syrup had gone into the batter. >"Oh my SOLARIS." Dock Shame half-said and half-gasped. >He stuttered for a moment before finding anymore words. >"Berry. Don't you have something very important to say to Butterscotch right now?" he said sternly. >"Yeah. I guess I do." said Berry, serious for once in this whole incident. >He leaned in very close to Scotch's face. >"No homo." >Britchescratch felt his floury heart break.   END
