Rainbow Dash and Soarin had just left the castle and Spin finally walked out of his room. He loked around and saw nopony in the large lobby like room. He walked over to the couch and laid down. He did’t know what he had done in his previous life wrong that caused the terrible course of the pink pony to be set upon him. He just laid there on the couch for several minutes thinking about life until he felt a weird touch on his side. He turned over and saw that Pinkie was laying next to him on the couch looking at him. He quickly jumped up and screamed in fear.

“Pinkie!”

“Wassup?” She said cheerfully

“Would you just please leave me alone.” Spin said and looked at the ground.

“Why? Do you wanna be alone?” Pinkie said and gave him a pair of puppy eyes.

“Yeah… so please leave me alone.” Spin said and looked at her.

“Why do you wanna be alone Spinny.” Pinkie asked him.

“Because…. I just feel like it.” Spin said because he didn’t come up with anything else.

“Sounds like you just don’t like me.” Pinkie said and her puppy eyes almost started to cry.

“No. no I do like you…” Spin said quickly trying to calm Pinkie down but then Pinkie just cut him off mid sentence.

“Great let’s go then.” Pinkie said happily and grabbed Spin’s hoof and they were off. Spin didn't even get any time to protest her decision.


“Rarity I’m sorry I was impolite.” Thunderlane said to Rarity through her front door.

“You have no idea how to talk to a lady of my kind.” Rarity said and opened the door.

“Please let me make it up to you.” Thunderlane said to her.

“Fine but I get to choose the place and you are paying.” Rarity said and smiled.

“Great… you lead I follow.” Thunderlane said and they were off.


“The books on the lunar empire are on that self over there and the books on the history of the lunar conflict are over there.” Twilight told Night Comet as they were walking through the library of the castle.

“Great I’ll start reading. I will tell you if I need some help.” Night Comet said and walked off.

“Hey Twilight!” Flash said and walked up to her from behind.

“Oh hi Flash.” Twilight smiled at him.

“I was thinking… if you would like to do something today?” He asked and tried not to turn red.

“Sure you can help me organize my books!” Twilight said happily and smiled.

“Umm… I was thinking something more like a dinner or a movie… but sure I’ll help.” Flash said and looked at her.

“Great follow me we got about two hundred books to organize.” Twilight said cheerfully.

“Two hundred…” Flash said in awe. "oh this was a big mistake" He whispered as he saw the piles of books.


“So what did you think about the movie.” Soarin said as he and Dash came out of the movie theatre.

“Those new Daring do films aren’t as good as the originals…” Dash said and remembered what the young yellow colt she had met a couple of days ago told her. “But it was good.”

“Yeah. wanna grab something to eat before we get back to the castle?” Soarin asked her as they were walking through ponyville.

“Sure I know a great bakery in town follow me.” Rainbow Dash said and flew off towards Sweet sugar cube. They landed next to the door and walked in. They saw Pinkie and Spin sitting in one of the tables near the door. Pinkie and him were eating some pie and talking about something. But when Pinkie Spotted Dash and Soarin she got up and shot across the room towards Rainbow Dash yelling.

“Rainbow dash!” She hugged her friend hard. Spin and Soarin both looked at the mares and then each others.

“Pinkie what’s up.” Dash said and broke the hug.

“Girl talk. That's what's up.” Pinkie said and picked up Dash and ran to the back room.

“What the…” Soarin wondered what just had happened but Spin cut him off.

“Don’t think about it too hard… Pinkie is…. something else.” Spin said and looked at the door that Pinkie had just ran through with Dash on her arms.

“What do you think they are doing back there?” Soarin asked and sat down next to Spin.

“Probably making out.” Spin said and eat a piece of pie.

“WHAT?!” Soarin asked.

“Calm down Soarin. they are probably just talking.” Spin chuckled and continued eating. “So what’s up with you and Skittles anyways?”

“You know that I like her…. and I think she likes me too.” Soarin said and blushed a bit.

“Did you ask her out?” Spin as he was eating.

“Yeah… what about you and the pink psychopath. what’s up with you two?” Soarin asked and gave a small poke to Spin’s side.

“I have no idea what’s her problem but she is kinda sweet…” Spin said and looked at Soarin who was chuckling a bit. “Not like that. Get your mind off the gutter.” Spin said and hit Soarin lightly to the back of his head.

“Whatever.” Soarin simply said and laughed. “Like you wouldn’t like to do that.”

“Fuck off. At least I’m not going out with a bag of skittles. rainbow humper.” Spin shot back.


“Ok Dashie… I need help.” Pinkie said as they entered the back room of the bakery.

“Ok I’m listening.” Rainbow Dash simply said.

“This is a secret. Promise me that you won’t tell to anypony.” Pinkie pie said.

“Cross My Heart, Hope to Fly, Stick a Cupcake in my Eye!” Dash said and did the motions for a pinkie promise.

“Great! I think I have a crush on Spin.” Pinkie said and blushed.

“Really.” Dash said unimpressed. “So what?”

“What should I do?” Pinkie asked.

“Just be what ever you are usually.” Dash said confidently and walked out of the back room. She opened the door and saw two grown up Pegasus stallions wrestling like little colts on the floor again. This time Spin was on top and Soarin was clearly disadvantaged.

“Excuse me!” Rainbow Dash yelled and caught the attention of the stallions. Both of them looked at her and then at each other. Then they quickly got up and smiled innocently like small colts.

“Ok I think it’s about time to get back to the castle… you two need a shower clearly.” Dash said and saw pieces of pie and stains of sweat in both of their furs.

“Fine let’s go.” Spin said and walked over to Pinkie. “Ready to go back to the castle?”

“Yeah let’s go and this time you will wash your mane!” Pinkie said and took a bottle of shampoo to her hooves from behind her back.

“Where did you get that?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Where do you think?” Pinkie said happily and bounced off.
