[For once, Pinkie DOES pick up on that twang, but it only earns a blink before she smiles again and gives him a quick full-body nuzzle, like a cat against a leg but briefer.]

Aw, spending more time with you is pretty great for me too. Especially since we didn't get NEARLY enough of it last time!

[Because she was too busy moping, job hunting, and Goofing Off to make the most of their party planning time together. That's what she means.]

[preformthisneigh]

[He does his best to ignore the warm fuzzy feeling that gives him. Focus, Sandwich, focuuuus. ]

Well, we got plenty of time to make up for it now. My Cheesy Sense is telling me here is exactly where I need to be.

[He's done enough wandering to know he wants to stay put for a little while. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Well, thank you, Cheesy Sense, for bring Cheese back here!

[And it's not long at all before they reach the edge of town again.]

So where do you wanna start first?

[preformthisneigh]

It never, ever fails me.

[And for this he is forever grateful.]

Ooooh we should make a cake! The biggest gosh darn cake ever!!

[spontaneouscombustion]

[GASP!] Yeeeees we should! OO! I could show you how to make the MMMM, you'll LOVE it!

[preformthisneigh]

Oh wow, for real and true? I've ALWAYS wanted to know how to make the MMMM!!!

...

What's the MMMM?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Heehee, silly Sandwich! It's the Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness! It's only one of THE most super, most spectaluar, most delicious cakes EVER! It's the PERFECT Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich cake!

[preformthisneigh]

[...Yes. Yes please. ]

That really is MMMM! I can't wait to try it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Me neither! And I can't wait to help bake it again!

[And it'll be nice eating non-gel-based foods for one in a LONG time, right?]

[preformthisneigh]

[Sweet Celestia it will be the best ]

I know if anypony can bake it brilliantly, it'll be you Pinkie!

[spontaneouscombustion]

Aw, thank you~! I'm sure you'll be a superb sous chef, Cheesy! I know you make a MEAN pepperoni cupcake pizza!

[preformthisneigh]

You better believe it, Little Filly. It's my masterpiece.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Mmmm that is it! I can't WAIT to see how you are with cake!

[And here they are at Sugarcube Corner!]

Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, guess what? Cheese Sandwich is back in town, and we're gonna be throwing another party together! Gonna use the bakery for a bit, BRB!

[And zip away into the kitchen they go before the Cakes can ask TOO many questions.]

[preformthisneigh]

[He'll just wave a hoof as he darts part with Pinkie. Ahhh ponies REAL PONIES AGAIN. ]

HI MR AND MRS CAKE!!! [But now they have BAKING to do so. ] Let's get caking!!!

[spontaneouscombustion]

[That was really enthusiastic, even for him. How curious. But BEHOLD, the most awesome kitchen in Ponyville!]

Okey-dokey-lokey, let's get washed up and THEN we can start making the bestest, most spectacular cake EVER~!

[preformthisneigh]

[He'll happily trot after her. He's really not the best baker ever but damnit he will TRY. ]

Aww yeah! It's gonna be the bees knees.

[spontaneouscombustion]

You know it~!

[Between the two of them, it's not long at all before the cake layers are in the oven and the ponies have some time to work on the marzipan decorations. And to catch up on things.]

So where've you been lately, Cheese?! I bet you've been throwing some AMAZING parties since I saw you last, right?

[preformthisneigh]

[He pauses and lets out a nervous laugh.]

Well~ This is gonna sound pretty crazy but...in space. I was kidnapped to this whole other dimension, and flew in a space ship. And before that I was in a magical castle.

...Another dimension, different to the space one.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Kidnapped?! You got KIDNAPPED?! Why didn't WE hear about that, we could have been rescuing you?!

[That Friendship Map is sooo getting reprimanded for this!]

[preformthisneigh]

It's okay, I don't think you gals would have heard about it. Everypony talked about magic and time stopping. Sure looks like that was the case.

[Just MAGIC. Unicorn stuff, really. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

STILL, you'd think we'd notice if you were gone, even if time WAS stopped! [Pinkie, that doesn't make sense.] How much time passed for YOU?

[preformthisneigh]

I don't think it works like that.

[He doesn't sound SURE mind, he hasn't had to deal with anypony showing up yet. ]

About a year and a half? Yeah.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[And then the universe started laughing and got a bad idea.]

What?! A year and a half?! What was everypony else in those places doing?!

[preformthisneigh]

[The universe thought it the Best Joke Ever. ]

There uh- wasn't anypony else. Just me.

I wasn't alone, there were lots of other...beings? But no ponies.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Nope, nope nope, the next second he's being hugged like their lives depend on it.]

I'm sorry, Cheese.
