“Well, I’m kinda hungry...why don’t we go get something to eat at Sugarcube Corner?” you suggest.
“Oh, heck yeah!” Rainbow Dash cheers. “I didn’t even think of that! When you fly as much as I do, it’s important to keep your caloric intake up, and there’s no better way to do that than scarfing down a few of Pinkie’s best treats.”
You knew what Rainbow Dash was talking about, of course. Everypony knew Pinkie Pie, and everypony knew she was the best baker in Ponyville. She was even better than that loud, orange pony that yelled at people to buy her apples.
You fall into step next to your pretty, blue companion as you both march the two blocks to Ponyville’s most famous eatery. The conversation between you is light and airy, revolving around today’s weather and what you both planned to order.
You walk in next to Rainbow Dash and take a seat at a booth. The bakery is much less crowded than usual, but you still have to wait a few minutes for Pinkie Pie to take care of customers before she sproings her way happily over to your table.
“Hi, Dashie!” she cries with joy, beaming at her. She then turns and greets you in a similar vein.
While making eye contact with Pinkie, you can see her eyes brighten up and her mouth form into an expression of overjoyed surprise.
“WAIT A SECOND!” she squees loudly, attracting a number of different pairs of eyes to your table, “You two are here...TOGETHER!”
You can see Rainbow Dash clench her teeth together before she shushes her. “Pinkie! Nothing is-”
“Are you two here on a DAAAAAAAATTEEEEE?” she sing-songs directly to you, ignoring Rainbow Dash and accidentally slapping her in the face with her fluffy pink forest of a tail as she turns to you.
