Five Minute Break
A cool breeze blew through Pinkie Pie's mane as she lay her chin on her living room window sill. She sighed, closing her eyes and enjoying the last warm breeze of the year. Soon the pegasuses would start their snow clouds and they'd say farewell to fall. They'd been hard at work all day spreading the giant mass of white fluff the weather factory ponies had delivered early this morning.
Even though she wasn't the right kind of flying pony to help out with the clouds, Pinkie was super busy herself. She had been baking cupcakes, and cakes, and cookies, and croissants, and pies--even though those didn't begin with C--since this morning. It had been a nonstop whirlwind of mixing and kneading and rolling and dropping chocolate chips, but for the moment, she could relax. All her ovens were full and every scrap of flour, sugar, soda, and candy was mixed, chopped, kneaded, or poured. So she had time to just sit and watch all her friends working. And hope for a glimpse of Rainbow Dash.
She loved watching Rainbow work. It wasn't as exciting as when she did tricks and she didn't smile as much as when she was just playing around, but there was something about the way she moved when she was working. She wasn't like Thunderlane, all rigid and stiff, every move directed at getting the job done, nor was she like Blossomforth, adding flourishes for the sake of it. She was like the wind. She flowed from one cloud to another in an effortless dance with nature. Even when it seemed she had flown too far up or spun too much, she would tuck and roll or spin or pirouette and the earlier wasted move turned out to be exactly the thing she needed.
She loved dancing with Rainbow. Her Dashie could take a flank check and keep right on going. None of the others could really keep up with her. It was the best thing about Dashie: even when she couldn't keep up, she faked it. Maybe they'd be able to try another slow dance tonight. Those always ended up with one of them tripping over the other and they'd go down in a tangled mess of manes and legs and wings. Sometimes she could even steal a kiss.
Her eyes scanned the sky even as her ears twitched, listening for the buzzer that would mean her break was over. She saw streaks of yellow, purple, gray, blue, pink, but no multicolored blur that meant her pegasus was zipping along. Rainbow Dash must be wrangling winds or rustling clouds, or whatever it was she did when she was in charge.
A shadow fell as the cloud cover above her home was finally completed. She closed her eyes and hummed a soft goodbye to the last sunny day for the next three months. Later, she'd say hello to ice skating and snow ponies and sledding, but for now she remembered the warmth of the sun on her coat.
"Don't you have a cake to be frosting?" Her mouth split wide as she opened her eyes to see Rainbow Dash hovering in front of her. Dashie flashed her signature smirk then touched her nose to Pinkie's. Pinkie giggled as Dash jerked away and went crossed eyed. "What the...?"
Pinkie leaned forward, pulling herself onto the ledge. Her tongue shot out and lapped the dollop of icing off of Dashie's nose. "Mmmm, now it's twice as sweet!" Dash darted forward. Pinkie swallowed before she could steal the treat back, but Dash licked her cheek instead.
"You missed a spot."
Pinkie Pie giggled as Dash nibbled under her chin. "You did too," she said, pointing to a gap in the cloud cover.
Dash craned her neck around. "Nah, Cloudchaser's got that end covered. I'm totally free and clear until they finish." Wrapping her forelegs around Pinkie's neck, Dash drew closer and hugged her. "So it's just you being the lazy one right now."
Pinkie giggled again nipped Dash's ear. "I've got until the blueberry cupcakes finish baking." She pushed Dash back until she could stare into her eyes. Dashie had such pretty eyes, like the best combination of strawberries and cherries and Pinkie's own coat.
She lowered her lids halfway. Pinkie had practiced in front of a mirror after Dash had told her how awesome it looked. It was hard to tell if she was getting it right. Sometimes she just ended up making faces. The way Dash's mouth dropped opened was all she needed to see.
Pinkie leaned further out the window, bracing herself on Dash. Her eyes closed slowly as she stretched forward putting more and more of her weight on the flier. They both bobbed and swayed with each beat of Rainbow's wings. She could feel the other mare's heart speeding as their faces drew closer. Her lips made contact, a little high and to the right.
Cracking her eyes to adjust her aim, she could see Rainbow's cheeks reddening The other mare's mouth hung open, her lips quivering slightly as she tentatively closed around nothing. Pinkie pressed her lips against Dash's, trying her best to support her own weight. Without waiting, she thrust her tongue into Rainbow's mouth and moaned.
Her eyes flew open as she started to fall. Her shriek was stifled as Dash caught her. The other mare's face was bright red. "Um, you surprised m--"
Pinkie pulled Rainbow in close and pressed her lips against Dash's muzzle once again. It was hard to find her lips, her flying had grown jerky and erratic. Once more her tongue quested forwards, this time meeting Dash's. A soft moan from her Rainbow--
"Hey, Rainbow Da-- Oops, sorry." Flitter's voice made them both open their eyes. Dash's brows drew together in frustration. Pinkie just smiled, her slight nod wasn't even needed.
Dash gave her a slight push, helping her hind hooves touch the floor again before turning. "What's up?"
"We got all the clouds in position, we just need to get the winds fixed and we'll be ready to start the snowfall." Flitter's eyes darted over to Pinkie, giving her a nervous smile. "Um, sorry."
"It's okay! Besides--" A buzzing from inside drew Pinkie's attention. "I've gotta go anyway. Those cakes won't frost themselves!" As she threw herself down the stairs, she called over her shoulder. "Yet!"

Commence read.
Some cute Pinkie/Dash. Though kissing someone who has to keep flight does seem rather difficult.
Pinkie might have some self frosting cake ideas?
Looks interesting. Will read.
Well, this seems like a nice, heartwarming fic. Please, continue!
Horse kisses confirmed for the best kind of kisses.
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
A sweet story by Kits filled with 'D'awww'? yes, please!
1942749
There is harder. Like flying and bucking.
1942749
That's why slobber is everywhere
1942860
Don't do it, Pinkie, there'll be more kisses later!
1942955
Hehe.
It's okay, she's springy. Not to mention "more cushion for the throwing yourself down stairs" thing.
CRAP!
I mentioned it!
Short, lovely little piece of slice-of-life romance. Not every story needs to be a grand epic or the love story of a millennium, and this one delivers what it sets out to do.
My third favorite pairing? You have my full attention
seriously very well written though I really enjoyed it. Thank you 
Huh. Copious feels, eh?
I may read, I have my own feels to write after all. Always a joy to see a story from you though, kits, you're probably the one author I don't feel jealous about.
1943446
>you're probably the one author I don't feel jealous about.
Not sure if compliment or backhanded insult
I dunno about "copious feels". It's a short scene from a world where those two kiss a lot. I can't write drabbles, so this is what I do instead.
Hurrah! A new fic with my OTP! This day may be salvageable after all!
Thanks Kits, it has everything I look for in a Pinkiedash story.
Son, I am disappoint
Pegasi*
While I'm not a fan of stories where the two mane characters are already in a relationship, I'll give this one a shot
Ewww. Characters making out without angsting. They haven't even saved the world today. How can you write something like this?

Pinkie Pie POV
[youtube=LLKk4ZCQFAY]
the title reminds me of this
"Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me"
This was just what I needed. Didn't even know I needed it.
1943476
It's a compliment, since I actually enjoy competing with authors like you. It's a constant race for Featured, just feels nice to have competition that still tries.
1943976
I'm fairly certain this isn't going to feature. No one seems to enjoy PinkieDash any more and it's really short. Now, if it was 1.5k of Twi and Dash having badly written sex with "humor", it'd be a sure thing.
1944092
Not like Pinkiedash? Blasphemy! In all seriousness, this was short and cute. Its nice to read something without all the angst sometimes. Even though I like Twidash, it seems to be the ship that gets the least criticism. Appledash? Usually gets called cliched and over done - and sometimes it is, but its still my favorite. Twidash seems to have the most fics dedicated to it, but no one ever complains about it being overdone, at least not that I've seen. Eh, anyway, rambling over. I enjoyed this, and look forward to wherever you take it next

I've had this conversation with Tcher before. TwiDash has Twilight in it. You can do a lot more with her than AJ. AJ is the most stable of the characters, and the least characterized. She's far and away more "boring" than the other five. Just lacking magic, she has a lot less plotline potential than Twi. That's why there are 200+ TwiDash fics and people don't call it old, and <100 AppleDash fics but people call it repetitive.
For some reason, AppleDash seems to be the ship for people doing "OH NOES AM I GEHY?" too, which doesn't help.
1944199
Yeah, I can see the argument for that. I think Appledash has a lot of potential for adventure/romance stories because the two of them would work well together doing actiony stuff, but there aren't too many fics like that out there. As for Applejack being boring - I can kind of see that, but for some reason I find the most boring character to read about is Fluttershy a lot of the time. I think that's just personal, though. Maybe because she's so nice that there's not really any conflict? I think every major ship has its cliches that a certain majority of fics fall into - PinkieDash has Pinkie being kinda stalkery, or at least pining after Dash. Appledash has the whole Applejack angsting over her family finding out she's gay, and Twidash has Twilight being completely oblivious to any and all romantic advances. And any Dash ship that pairs her with one of the Mane 6 can be at risk of the whole "Dash is gay" drama. In the end its all down to personal choice, I guess. Now Raridash - that's a ship that hasn't been too hashed out, yet, and that I find surprisingly enjoyable. Ship all the ponies!
1944092
You at least put effort into it, right?
1944415
Yes. It's been brewing in my head for a fews days. Usually, I just draw stuff, but the picture demanded more.
This is good story. If you write more chapters i will read them, because I think it's a good story.
1944419
Then that's it. I like competing against authors who actually try and produce good stories. Makes winning all the more enjoyable, and losing less of a sting and more of an acknowledgement of another's skill.
Her eyes scanned the sky even as her ears twitched, listening for the buzzer than would mean her break was over.
Found one.
Short and sweet, though I'm hoping you can get rid of the 'short'
Well that was cute. :D And just a bit sexual in the buildup.
One thing I want to comment on: the part where Pinkie compares Rainbow's movements to Thunderlane's and Blossomforth's. I think we need a lot more of that in this fandom. So many of the ponies do things that we're not familiar with, like flying or using magic, that when we sit down to simply write about them and describe them, the end result falls short of actually being descriptive. You can't say "it was like X" when we really have no basis to know what X is like.
But when you say, "it was unlike X, which was Y, and it was unlike A, which was B", when you describe it in terms of comparison to others doing the same thing, with just a hint of what makes those things different, you get a much more reasonable scene that allows the imagination to fill in the gaps, while providing enough of a foundation for it to be able to do so.
THIS COMMENT IS NOW LONGER THAN THE STORY :V
Well, this is certainly different from the fic that you got my attention with. Not saying it's bad, not at all. I really enjoyed this, short and sweet. Only complaint is that it's too short.
P.S. The fic that got my attention was none other than Goddammit Pinkie Pie, that fic is art.
1945020
FWIW, the "plan" with this is to, if I can;t make progress on my other fics, to write shorts here. All of them would be similar in length and "depth" to this. Just SoL segments of PinkieDash.
1944962
I was struggling so hard to get something across that described the liquid grace, but total "I just want to get done" I imagine Dash has when working. It's so damned hard sometimes. Your comment was too big. I had to stop and wait a few minutes to digest it before continuing.
Cool story bro.
I always love a nice, uncomplicated shippy story.
And I didn't even see that this was incomplete. Another nice surprise!
1947637
It's incomplete as this is going to be a series of small SoL segments
:P
1942757 I second this.
I'm a Flutterdash myself <<< but this was really cute.
1955563
Flutterdash can be very fun. If I wasn't is the middle of at least 3 projects, I'd start on a short-ish one I had ideas for.
You have to contuie this its juicy
You write Pinkie well.
2016287
Thanks!

The intent of this "story" is to be sort of a collection of short interludes. If I am able, I may string them together in a rough story, but chapter 2 would not "pick up" where this one ended.
That was a nice little slice of life story, Kits. Nice to see something like that, considering most of stories here revolve around ponies getting together rather than being together. Looking forward to the next installment.
And RainbowPie is the best ship forever. ^^
Good job.
Yay!
