Rainbow Dash and Applejack walked to a small pond. People rarely swam in it but it was relatively clean.
As soon as they reached the edge of the water, they saw five other girls doing the same.
Fluttershy, looking disappointed. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, looking slightly cheerful. Pinkie Pie, looking like she had just been on the most fun rides at the amusement park. And Rarity, looking absolutely disgusted.
All of them were covered in mud, except Rarity, who was covered in all sorts of slime and smelled bad.
"I can see we'll have a lot to talk about when we wash up," said Sunset.
They jumped into the pond, submerging their heads under the water, and stayed in the middle, next to each other.
"Dash and I were runnin' a race in the rain," said Applejack.
"Which I won," said Rainbow.
"Then ah challenged her to a rematch on a mud track. We slipped and fell, and she turned it into a mud-wrestlin' contest. Which ah won."
"Then I challenged her to a contest where we roll around in the mud and fill up containers with it. The first to get her container full wins. Which I did. I got it overflowing."
"Sounds like fun!" said Pinkie Pie. "I'd really like to play that game with you next time! As for me, I put ice cream, pudding, whip cream, syrup, sprinkles, and lots of REALLY yummy frosting all over myself and ate it! Don't worry Rarity, I made sure I was clean enough to eat off of first. By the time I was done it stopped raining, so I splashed in puddles and played in the mud. Then I came here to go for a swim."
They all giggled, even Rarity. Pinkie's antics were always funny.
"I didn't have as much fun," said Fluttershy. "I saw this really cute bunny, but it ran away from me. I fell in the mud trying to catch it, and when I saw it jumping on the pigs, I pretended to be a pig so it would jump on me." She blushed lightly, realizing how foolish this had been.
"Oh, so that's what you were doing," said Rarity.
"Oh, you saw that?" Fluttershy blushed a deeper shade of red.
"Well, I didn't pay it much attention," said Rarity. "I was chasing a monkey that had stolen what I thought was a rare gem."
"Oh, how cute."
"No, it wasn't. It made me fall in a dumpster full of vile garbage. Then I fell in the mud before it led me to a swamp. Specifically, to some sort of slime monster that showered me with probably three different kinds of disgusting slime, and then threw me into some foul swamp water. And for all my trouble, the gem was a fake, and the monkey was working for Trixie."
"Trixie played a trick on you, did she?" said Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, can you please please PLEASE pull your biggest pranks on her? Ones that will either really annoy or humiliate her?"
"You can count on us!" Rainbow grinned deviously, as did Pinkie.
"Meanwhile, Sunset and I were walking in the rain, and we fell into a mud pit while admiring the rainbow," said Twilight.
"But, thanks to Twilight's plan, we worked together to get out," said Sunset.
"Ooooh, where's this mud pit?" said Pinkie.
"I'll show you if you want," said Sunset. "We're going to put a rope into it so we can climb out of it easier."
"That'd be a nice place for our next mud wrestling match," said Rainbow Dash to Applejack.
"Well I certainly won't go anywhere near it," said Rarity. "Although, mud is looking very clean compared to what I just went through."
All the mud and slime had dispersed and the pond water didn't seem much dirtier now. Rarity was feeling much better. But she was still going to wash at home as thoroughly as planned.
"I wonder if that bunny was just playing?" said Fluttershy. "It did seem to be waiting for me to chase it."
"Yeah, they'll do that," said Pinkie. "It's always fun trying to catch them."
"Water fight!" said Rainbow Dash, and they splashed each other, giggling the entire time.
