“Wait, what did you say was in here?” Dash asked, noting something not right with the taste.
Pinkie Pie laughed her unmistakable giggle, and began listing things. “Oh, well, there’s tomato juice, and some celery, and some carrot juice, and some flower petals—for the taste—some alcohol, rohyphenol*, tea leaves...” She broke off, putting her hoof to her chin as her gaze turned upward. “And something else. The gruff pony called ‘el-ess-dee’, which was kind of funny, because I knew a pony whose named was Yooess Dee, so it was like that one time that we went waterboarding with that gol—”
She was abruptly cut off as Rainbow Dash fell onto her with a crooked smile and an inebriated giggle, before rolling over and landing on the ground with a thud.

When Rainbow Dash hazily came to, she found the sky to be a pale vomit-green, adorned with clouds with hints of pink. This was not entirely disconcerting, for some odd reason, but still something to note.
She got up and looked around and saw a bright yellow barn with purple siding just a stone’s buck away. A short fence ran around the area, and some small plant fields stood in front of a deep nay blue backdrop of bulbous, yet regular, growths. They were on bright red stalks, and had olive green specks on them, and the word ‘tree’ came to mind.
Pondering what this could mean, Dash tiptoed around, hoping for another clue. Finally, coming around the other side of the enormous yellow building, she saw a large, olive green sign that said something about sweets and acres.
Suddenly, a voice called out, simultaneously sweetly and tauntingly, “Oh, Daaash~!” Rainbow Dash turned to see a bright read pony, wearing a pastel blue hat not unlike Applejack’s. The mane and tail were turquoise, but braided into a style that also reminded her of her longtime rival.
“It’s me, Rainbow~!”
Familiar still was the voice, though it had taken on a tone Dash had not heard yet. She turned, slowly, the other direction, only to find that same pony’s rump pointed right up at her face.
She heard the words, “You know you want me, Dashie~,” and she suddenly found the name for that tone. Seductive.
“Oh my Celestia what are you doing!” Dash managed, kicking her forelegs out and stumbling back, falling into the arms of another pony. Another ‘Applejack’.
She let out a yell and took off into the sky, launching for the nearest cloud. Instead of popping through it with a poof, it seemed to be completely solid, and Rainbow Dash had crashed into it headfirst.
Rainbow plummeted downwards, the ground jumping up to meet her.

But it never came. She fell into the hooves of a normal coloured Pinkie Pie, in a normal coloured world.
Pinkie raised a hoof to her lips and said, in a deep voice, “IT’S A SECRET TO EVERYPONY.”
