*“My new gift for Pupkin Cake turned out to be the best gift yet! After all, what could be better than helping out a friend in need?”*
―Jessicake
**A Present for Pupkin Cake** is the first episode of the fourth series.

## Plot

One day in Shopville, Jessicake rushes over to Apple Blossom and Lippy Lips. She tells the two that they are going to buy a birthday present for their new Shoppet friend Pupkin Cake! Apple Blossom thought that this was a great idea, but Lippy Lips tells Jessicake to go check her wallet, which Jessicake does without hesitation. When she checks her wallet, she knew that they didn't have enough money to buy the beautiful camera that costs $100 for Pupkin Cake! Apple Blossom tells Jessicake that to make money, she would have to help out someone first. So they decided to help at Swirly Shirley's cotton candy stand and sell cotton candy to the citizens of the US, and raised enough money to buy the camera. When they had enough money, Jessicake decides to spend it on new lip gloss. She was a little too curious about getting new lip gloss that she didn't notice the rock in front of her, so she derails and realizes how silly she is. Pupkin Cake soon comes to help Jessicake back onto the tracks. Luckily for them, Apple Blossom and Lippy Lips manage to wrap their present just in time for Pupkin Cake's party. When Pupkin Cake opens the gift, she liked it. Both the Shopkins soon realize that it is okay for them to help out a friend in need.
