Chapter Two: "I Didn't Mean For This To Happen!""

Applejack bucked the cart out the way to let her fellow 'zombies' in. They all slowly made their way towards the trembling rainbow-maned pegasus.

"S-stop! You don't want these!" She said as she shoved each cookie box to the wall. "They're making you sick!" But that didn't work, the 'cookie zombies' were still creeping towards her.

Rainbow Dash quickly flung all the cookie boxes outside and flew towards them. She gathered all her strength to hold all the boxes without leaving a single cookie behind. Rainbow Dash looked behind her to see the zombies making their way towards her. Rainbow quickly flew up and to the direction of her house.

~~~

When she arrived, she was breathing heavily she couldn't speak a word. She was only lost in her own thoughts. How did this go wrong? Why did I do this? I could've just pranked the town one-by-one! But no, I've turned the town into mindless cookie-eating zombies!

"Cooookiesss..." Rainbow's ears perked up at the faint sound. It began to become louder. And louder. And louder. Rainbow Dash quickly stepped on each cookie. She didn't want anypony else to eat them. Her hooves and face were rainbow. She quickly washed her self when she reached her house. A sigh of relief escaped her muzzle. She went back into the living room to see pegasus ponies looking at her. "What did you do with the COOOOKIESS?!"

Rainbow Dash quickly zoomed out of her house. She flew to Canterlot in '10 seconds flat' she would say. She quickly made her way towards Canterlot Castle.

"I must see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! It's urgent!"

"Of course, Miss Dash." The guards said as they let her pass. Rainbow swiftly flew across the hallways. She looked into every room to see if she could spot the princesses.

"Of for Celestia's sake, where are they?!" Rainbow screamed in frustration. Not looking ahead of her, Rainbow bumped into the ponies she was looking for. "Celestia! Luna! I'm so glad I found you two!"

"What is the matter, Rainbow Dash?" Luna's asked,

"It's... A long. long, long, long, long, looooong story..."

"You can tell us, Rainbow. Don't you worry." Celestia assured.

Rainbow took a deep breath in. " I was on a pranking spree, then I thought about pranking the whole town at once with these cookies that make their mouths go rainbow! Turns out I turned them into mindless cookie-eating zombies and now I need your help!"

"Well now, I suppose you want us to help you?" Celestia asked.

"Hehe... E-Eyup!" Rainbow Chuckled.

"Well then, we shall go and put this to rest." Luna said as she started up her horn and teleported the three of them to Ponyville. Both princesses gasped at the sight of the once friendly and beautiful town which was now a dump. Faint groans of "cooookiess" could be heard in every corner.

"Looks like we have some work to- Ahh!" Celestia yelped.

"Are you alright, sister?" Luna asked. Both she and Rainbow glanced at each other. Celestia wasn't moving. But she said something.

"COOKIES!!!" Luna and Rainbow jumped in fright. Behind Celestia appeared a little Dinky Doo repeating the princesses' words.

"Uhm... Rainbow..?" Luna questioned.

"Heheh, I think if the 'cookie zombies' bite you, you turn into one... Haha... Ehh..."

"Gahh!" Luna cried as she too gotten bite. Rainbow looked to see Ruby Pinch with an evil grin of her face.

"Cooookiess!!! Rainbow's eyes widened as she flew away. She bumped into a stuttering Applejack. She slowly back away until she realized that she was surrounded. There was no way out. She couldn't fly out either. Everypony was closing in on her. Tears filled the cyan mare's eyes.

"I didn't mean for this to happen!"

I do hope that this chapter was also part of the prank to make it even better, to get back at Rainbow, but once Rainbow figures out it's a prank boy will she be pissed, heck she might just up and move out of Ponyville and break up the Mane 6 Team just to get back at them.

What the...? XD that is good!

7605664 You like that idea, if you want you can up and use it then, I would love to see this story keep going, there need to be more of these 28 pranks later fanfics, mainly ones where either Rainbow finds out about the prank before hand or when that part where Pinkie was acting so off that she follows Pinkie back to the castle and hears that Pinkie betrays the Prankster Code by telling the others of her prank she is setting up and how they go with the Zombie Prank then.

7605664 Oh, and do you think Twilight Sparkle would regretfully resign from her title as Princess of Friendship with a heavy heart because of this?

7633886
Okie... Dokie... Lokie..?:rainbowhuh:

7633355
...Uhh no... One friendship problem wouldn't make her resign! I don't even think you can resign! I have no idea why you just commented that comment...:facehoof:

7635326 Oh, maybe I was just overreacting and I am indeed sorry for that; I guess I shouldn't let little things get to me after all, huh?

7640104 Could I say something?

Do they have zombie movies in mlp? If so RD probably should have known that.

Someone was fed a brick and that wasn’t harmless and she was directly sabotaging g a cookie selling venture with her stunt

11488386
Again, the brick and the skunk was the only harmful pranks, about sabotaging a cookie selling venture, hmm, it wasn't harmful, but they had the harmful idea that it was okay that all a village made believe that you killed your own friends and family.

11597867
Not the only harmful pranks and one harmful prank was more then. Enough for dash to stop, she was inconsiderate to fluttershy’s feelings and maybe not physically harmful but financially harmful was her intended cookies prank as she could have ruined the whole operation with all the unhappy customers wanting refunds and compensation

11598245
Once more, the monster, brick and skunk were the only harmful ones, about the cookie sells, hmm, I didn't find it harmful, at all, if all Ponyville has the valuable to do the refunds, fine, but instead of doing that, they had the harmful idea to make think you that you killed your friends and family with something "poisonous" on them.

Besides, about Fluttershy, well, Dash thought that Fluttershy has matured enough to be scared like that. Even though she said that she was to easy to be scared, that doesn't mean that she ofended her intentionly.

11601214
Intentional or not she was inconsiderate to her or her friends’ feelings and I refuse to believe that if she was allowed to continue then she wouldn’t have done more harmful pranks

11601553
:facehoof: For once, Dash thought that she has matured a lot of her to be scared like that, about to believe about Dash doing more harmful pranks, well, the mane 5 had just easily avoided it by just talking about her pranks and get into a agreedment instead of over lazy saying that it was wrong and that's it, also avoid that harmful idea of making you thing that you killed your friends and family.

11603121
While they could have easily come up with a different big prank to get the message, I still say that what dash was doing was really harmful itself (though the zombie one would be more so)

11603445
About that diferent big prank, well, That's isn't gonna work as either for:

1. Selfish intentions.

2. Wanting giving a piece of their own chocolate in a harmful way will returns to you.

And 3. Trying to scared would possibly making someone die of a heart attack for the scare

About that Dash doing really harmful, well, yeah, she played a lot of pranks to all Ponyville, BUT MAKING HER THINK THAT SHE KILLED EVERYPONY WAS WAAAY PASTED THE LIMITS. Besides what happened if Dash acted in another way in the show, either can be that she:

1. Attacks them all with her fighting skills before it was revealed.

2. Call Celestia and Luna and see that they have non other but to bombard all over Ponyville.

3. Fly up to the sky and fly down to bombard Ponyville in her Sonic Rainboom explotion.

Or 4. (That will never in MLP and thank god that it never happened) Eats all of the joke cookies, getting her mouth rainbow muzzled, having a heart attack from the amount of cookies she ate, and fall to the ground and dies before it was revealed.


Didn't you think of that?

11622832
Sorry can’t agree

11622833
I never said that if you agreed or not, I said that if You think about what happened if Dash acted in another way to the 'cookie zombies'?

11622836
I know but any sympathy for her is limited considering her previous actions and despite this prank being overkill; she was overdue for a taste of her own medicine

11622845
But what if that 'taste of her own medicine' went wrong by the posibilities that I've mention. Besides, giving some a taste of their medicine isn't making someone think that the killed you, scare you until you probably die, nor either acting selfish to someone who already knows and that has been with you in good and bad moments, and even thought, think that you will 'give a taste of their medicine' when you could be the one paying the consecuences for something foolish you made!

11623082
Well sorry but I have nothing else to say, the particular prank was too far but by the same token dash deserved to suffer the consequences of her own harmful horrible pranks like she could have ruined the cookie selling activity, the denizens could have blamed the cmc and it would have ruined everything having to refund and compensate everything and scootaloo would have been justified in turning against her idol for this

11623143
:twilightangry2: How many times do I have to tell you, the only harmful pranks she played on were the monster, the skunk and the brick on the burger, the rest we're foolish and the cookie activity was only going to rainbowfy mouths, nothing else, and Scoots, well, I don't think she wouldn't go far on turning on her idol, it will make her completely out of character.

For Dash suffering the consecuences, well, it would just be her, but everypony else into thinking that it was a "great" idea for them to make her think that she killed all Ponyville.

And yes, citizens could have did the refunds, because of it did, fine, but instead of doing that, THEY HAD THE HARMFUL IDEA OF MAKING HER THINK THAT SHE KILLED EVERYPONY SO THAT SHE COULD DO ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES THAT I'VE MENTIONED!!!! AND NOT ONLY BE DASH SUFFERING, BUT EVERYPONY ELSE IN GENERAL WOULD JOIN HER IN HER SUFFERING!!!!

11623444
Sorry but I get what you mean about how harmful the zombie prank is but one harmful prank from her is one too many and she wouldn’t have stopped, plus what if the prank material turned out to be defective and toxic

If they did do the refunds then they would have been justified in giving dash a permanent cold shoulder for the time being since she was showing she didn’t cRe about anyone else’s feelings

Sorry don’t want to argue but this is my point and I’m sticking to it

11623444
I admit that scootaloo permanently disavowing dash would be a bit much and the could shoulder from the town being permanent would be too much
