Pi Day

"Happy Pie Day!" cried Pinkie Pie. In her hands, on her shoulders, and balanced on her head were a multitude of pies...blueberry pie, cherry pie, apple pie, peach pie, pineapple pie, lemon meringue pie, pear pie, strawberry pie, strawberry cinnamon cilantro pie, Key lime pie, rhubarb pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, coconut cream pie, pecan pie, chocolate cream pie, shoofly pie, and Boston cream pie (even though Pinkie would be the first to tell you that Boston cream pie is technically a cake, but how could she leap over technicalities?). Everyone present was amazed at how Pinkie could balance so may pies, even if it was Pinkie Pie we were talking about.

"Pinkie, you've really outdone yourself," commented Rarity, as she graciously accepted a slice of Key lime pie.

"Yeah, y'all didn't have to do all this," said Applejack as she took a bite of the apple pie. She momentarily smiled at the taste then frowned as she realized that it was way better than any apple pies her family had ever made.

"How could I not?" she asked, trying to force a slice of blueberry pie into Rainbow Dash's hands. "After all, they created an entire day for me!?" When Rainbow opened her mouth to protest, Pinkie shoved a forkful of pie into Dash's mouth anyway.

"Actually, it's Pi Day," corrected Twilight as she adjusted her glasses.

Handing Twilight a slice of rhubarb pie, Pinkie returned, "That's what I said, Pie Day."

"No, Pi Day. 'P' - 'I'. As in the irrational number."

Finished wiping her tongue from the offending pie, Rainbow Dash said, "Math may be hard, but I don't know if I'd call it 'irrational.'"

"No, Rainbow, irrational as in a real number that is not an integer or doesn't repeat. For instance, pi is 3.1415926...."

Five minutes later...

"...1262410548725..."

Applejack turned to Rainbow, "Y'all just 'ad ta get her started, didn't ya? Now you've gone and broke her."

Author's Note:

A special Saturday edition of Robot Pony. If you enjoyed this chapter, you might like my story, The Secret Life of... Pinkie Pie. I got numbers for the first 100,000 digits of pi here. I'd also like to point out, the reference to Applejack enjoying Pinkie's pie more than her family's is indeed a reference to my story The Labors of Applejack. And finally, Boston cream pie is actually a cake. You can read about it here. My mother insisted I learn some things about the culinary field. The only problem is I said something to my boss about Boston cream pie being a cake, and he didn't take too kindly to finding out he was wrong. Oh well, these things happen.

Shoulda had 314 words. Just 10 off.

Why didn't Soarin' make an appearance in this chapter? If there's one thing he loves, more than any other thing, except for Rainbow Dash, it's pie.
