//------------------------------// // Plan-A, The Letters // Story: Flurry, Pumpkin, Pinkie, And Spike // by Silver Butcher //------------------------------// "Thank you Flurry," Spike said as he headed back upstairs with the now Ink Free Pinkie Doll "No Problem Spike" Flurry said as he headed back upstairs "Alright, Time to put Plan A into effect!" Flurry took the ink still in her magic and ran upstairs, once to her room, she turned to a blank page in her journal and, using some reference material, mimicked Spike's handwriting as best she could. "Dear Pinkie" She Began "We should meet up for a Lunch Date at..." Flurry looked at her notes "11:30, we can meet up at the castle, Love Spike." Flurry nodded at the letter "Yes, Perfect!" she said looking at her well-written plan "Now...I just need to send it!" Pumpkin, using a few letters from Pinkie, was doing the exact same thing "....Lunch Date at 11:30, meet me at Sugar Cube Corner, Love Pinkie." Pumpkin smiled at her genius "Let's see Flurry beat this idea!" Pumpkin said gloatingly "They'll meet up for dinner..." "...Then he'll say he didn't plan it, and she'll think he's being hard to get." Flurry said as she walked out of the stairs. "...And then when he sees her playing hard to get he'll just want her more!" Pumpkin said, walking down the stairs "...And then she'll try to wow him by inviting him over instead!" Flurry said, face glowing red at the beauty of the scene in her head as she walked out the castle doors "Twilight I'm going outside for a little bit!" "Be back before dark Flurry," Twilight called back "...And then when they sit down and look into each other's eyes, they'll feel the love in the air!" Pumpkin coed as she walked outside "Dad I'm going to say Hi to Spike!" Pumpkin called "Ok Honey, be back by Dinner!" Mr.Cake called back from the counter Pumpkin made her way out the door and down the street to the Castel, Flurry was making her way down the street to Sugar Cube corner when she spotted her rival, "Oh, Trying to spy on me eh?" Pumpkin thought as she hides the letter from Flurry's view "...Can't let her see this, don't want to give her tiny mind any ideas to work with" Flurry thought as she hides the letter from Pumpkins view "Hi." They both said in unison as they passed each other at the halfway point. "I hate her." They both thought in unison as the hightailed it to their respective destinations "Hello," Flurry said making Mr.Cake jump "Sweet Princess of the night!" Mr.Cake yelled Flurry cocked her head at him "My Aunt?" Flurry shook her head "anyway Can you give this to Pinkie Pie?" Flurry asked handing Mr.Cake the letter, who handled it with extreme care "Of..of...of..of course" he stuttered "here" he added handing her a Cupcake "On the house" "Thank you, sir," Flurry said taking the cupcake happily as she made her way out. "Hi Twilight" Pumpkin said when the princess answered the door "Can you give this to Spike?" She asked politely "Oh, sure Pumpkin," Twilight said taking the letter "Do you want to come in?" "Oh, no I have...stuff to do at home," She said "I was just doing Pinkie a favor is all" she called back before heading home, Flurry saw her coming and took to the air so as to avoid her "Show off" Pumpkin muttered as watched the Alicorn fly over her. Flurry walked into the castle "I'm back!" She called "Hi, dad!" Pumpkin said "I'll be in my room" Pumpkin ran up the stairs and was going to head to the window to watch Spike walk over, but was distracted "POUND!" She screamed, her brother jumping at in shock, she had caught him in the act of stealing her Spike plush "I wasn't taking it," He said, Pumpkin levitated it out of his hoofs and squeezed it in her's. "You stole the last one and I never found it!" Pumpkin screamed as Pound ran to the window and evacuated the building "You can only get these in the Crystal Empire!" She screamed shaking her hoof at him "I'll tell mom if you try and touch it again!" She slammed the window and carefully tucked the Spike plush back in her bed before turning to look back out the window, finding a less than desirable sight "Weird" Pinkie said as she made her way to the castle reading 'Spikes' letter. "Odd" Spike said as he made his way out the castle door looking at 'Pinkies' letter "Noooo!" Flurry whispered as she watched Spike leave through the front door "My brilliant plan foiled by that no good orange..." Flurry muttered less than friendly names about Pumpkin as Pumpkin did the same for her. "How dare she undermine my plan by making Pinke leave," Pumpkin said angrily "My amazingly thought out and detailed scheme, ruined." Pumpkin sighed "Oh well, this was only plan-A, I've still got letters B through H." Pumpkin and Flurry watched in silence as Spike and Pinkie ran into each other at the halfway point "Dang it I can't read lips" Flurry muttered as she watched the two stop and began talking, Pinkie pointed to the castle as Spike pointed to Sugar Cube Corner, after some more talking Spike handed Pinkie 'her' letter as Pinkie handed him 'his' the two read the letters before laughing at them, Pinkie gave him a wave and Spike returned it as the two turned back and headed home with 'there' letters. "Dangit" Pumpkin muttered "I'm so busted" she sighed as she listened to Pinkie walk up the stairs "Hi Pinkie" she muttered "Oh hey Pumpkin," Pinkie said brightly "check this out" She showed Pumpkin the letter she had written "Rainbow was trying to set me and Spike up on a date again" she laughed "What?" Flurry asked as Spike laughed at the note "Well either that or a prank, not very well thought out tho" Spike giggled "sending us a note" Spike sighed "Classic Rainbow," he said with a head shake "Um...yeah" Pumpkin agreed "She must have not had...much time to plan it out or something." "Yeah" Pinkie agreed "It was a good laugh tho!" She said as she headed to her room. Pumpkin closed the door with a sigh of relief. "Alright, time to start on plan B," Flurry said as she looked through her notes "This time I'll have to factor Pumpkin in, think she can throw me off hu?" "Think's she'll win just because she's playing dirty?" Pumpkin asked the empty room "oh no, I'm going to win without stooping to her level!" the two fillies held up their hoof respectively. "I will be Spike's Cupid!" They Declared before they buckled down and began work on their next Relationship building plan.
