Chapter 27
There's no way you're spending any more time with Cloud Kicker than you have to, and you foalsat the Junior Weather Patrol once before. Never again.
"I'll work with Pinkie, please. Ice-breaking sounds fun!"
Rainbow smiles at you and shakes her head as she ticks you off on her sheet.
"Okay, sure thing. Pinkie, could you get to it? I need to have a quick word with Raindrops here."
"Okey dokey lokey! Raindrops, we'll be down at the big pond as soon as you can join us." Pinkie bounds off, and you smile at her as she goes. You turn back to the boss, and your smile immediately vanishes. She's looking more serious than you've ever seen her look.
"Raindrops, I'm not stupid."
"I know you're not stupid," you say, quietly wondering where in Tartarus this is going.
"You're late because you were spending time with Pinkie, and now she wants you on the ice-breaking team as a special favour. Plus you're psyched about getting to spend all day on the ground? Please. No way. I know what's going on here."
"You do?" You're beginning to wish you could say the same thing.
"Hay, I don't have a problem with it. You make a cute couple. But if you hurt her, I will end you."
Wait, what? Oh dear. This is going to require delicacy and tact, and you have neither.
"Boss, that's not- I mean, Pinkie's already secretly seeing-" buck! Secretly! "- uh, seeing somepony else, so-"
Rainbow rolls her eyes at you.
"I bet she is. Go have fun, Raindrops, but remember- I've got my eye on you." She leaves in a flurry of feathers before you can come up with a decent response. Well, that's just bucking brilliant. You groan in frustration and leave for the pond, and to your surprise you're not going to be the last one on the ice. Pinkie's already getting warmed up with a bunch of other ponies, including Carrot Top and Easy Breezy, but you can see your neighbour Roseluck sitting on the side of the pond. She's nickering in frustration and tugging at her unlaced skates. After a moment, an exhausted-looking stallion arrives and shouts across the lake at Pinkie. He's wearing a Plants team vest, you realise.
"Pinkie! Applejack says I have to join your team."
Pinkie just gives him an enthusiastic nod, but he looks a little morose. He walks over to the pile of skates near Roseluck and eyes them thoughtfully- if you had to guess, you'd think he'd never been ice skating before.

1185953 Well, my first choice went to this one... so I guess I'll be in the hospital for a while.
Help him out! Hopefully in this continuity you weren't around the book long enough for it to seriously affect you.
Get some ice skates on and go skating.
1186986 Correct! You ate a romance narrative causality cupcake, so the book is no longer super important. Instead, possible smooches are!
Use the stallion as an excuse to switch to the plant team -- many more smoochable stallions there. Better selection than the one that's thrown into your lap.
Go Help Roseluck, She Seems Distressed...
