Summary
The story begins with the Cakes coming home from a baking competition. They find Pinkie Pie has once again successfully completed her babysitting duties, so they pay her fee. Pinkie Pie then sets off for Twilight’s house so she can participate in another one of her experiments.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake have saved up enough money to begin selling more products in their store. After searching through a catalog of different market brands, they decide to be the first business in Ponyville to carry the immensely successful “Starbits” coffee brand in their store.

Over in Twilight’s basement, Twilight has built a gigantic machine that changes a pony’s mane color permanently. She successfully tests it out on Pinkie Pie by changing her mane color from pink to dark blue with a devastating laser beam. Pinkie Pie then asks Twilight to revert her hair color to normal since she preferred it to be pink. The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Cake have received their new trademark “Starbits” coffee machine and have set up the sign advertising their new product up front. Twilight and Pinkie Pie then come trotting down the street covered in smiles and ash.

Apparently the machine had overheated whilst making its second laser blast to restore Pinkie Pie’s mane, and so Twilight had to use three fire extinguishers to keep it going. Luckily the only casualty had been one of Twilight’s books on the wicked experiments of an evil mad-scientist.

Twilight then notices the new sign stating that the cakes are now selling coffee. Pinkie Pie, not understanding what coffee is, has Mr. Cake explain it to her. Mr. Cake suddenly comes upon the idea that if Pinkie Pie consumes the heavily caffeinated beverage, catastrophic events will ensue. Mrs. Cake seemingly has the same thought on her mind.

Pinkie Pie naturally then asks if she may have a cup. Mr. and Mrs. Cake, knowing all too well that it was going to come to this, succumb to her request and proceed to make her a cup of chocolate frappe, all the while with thought of doom and destruction on their mind. They serve Pinkie Pie her drink and then back off to enjoy what they believe to be the end of their lives as they know it. During the entire process, Twilight notices the Cake’s uneasiness. But does not comprehend what is the big deal with giving Pinkie Pie a cup of coffee. Pinkie Pie is simply excited to taste her first cup of coffee ever, and swiftly gulps down a large portion of her drink.

The Cakes dive for cover under the counter, but to their surprise no apocalyptic events transpired. They hastily ask Pinkie Pie if she feels any different to which she replies: "A little. My stomach feels like it's got a bunch of ants crawling all around, and they're the most hyper ants I met! But that's it."

Pinkie Pie is happy to find the drink so yummy and the Cakes are happy that Pinkie Pie didn’t explode. However, the next moment, Twilight asks for a taste of the drink. Upon taking a sip, she suddenly goes into a hyper-active rampage. She tackles the Cakes to the ground, dances on a table, jumps out a closed window, and happily exclaims how coffee will help her triumph over her studies among other things.

Mr. Cakes shoots Twilight in the neck with a tranquilizer dart. He then shoots her again in the stomach when the first one fails to knock her out. Twilight later wakes up in her bedroom next to a beaming Pinkie Pie. After Pinkie Pie describes what happened to Twilight she also tells her that “[The Cakes] want [her] to pay for a new window, a new Starbits sign, and never to buy coffee from them again [, but that she] already paid for everything!"

When Twilight asks Pinkie Pie why she would so such a thing, it seems that Pinkie Pie was so amazed that Twilight could be more energetic than her and so decided that she is going to teach Twilight self control so that she may have a friend who is just as lively to play with. She then drops an extra-large cup of frappe in Twilight’s lap.
