An annoyed Rainbow Dash flew through ponyville heading to Sugarcube Corner, flying close behind was a blonde stallion, “and that’s reason thirtyfour as to why you should go on a date with me, as for reason thirtyfive-” Zephyr Breeze was interrupted by Rainbow Dash who covered his mouth with a hoof.
“Listen here bucko, I’m sick and tired of your sorry excuse of romancing, I’ll say it for the umpteenth time. I-DON’T-LIKE-YOU! I will never like you and I want you to stop flirting with me! Are we clear?” Zephyr stared at the mare with his eyes wide open, “I’ll take that as a yes, now go away I have stuff to do.”
Rainbow Dash left the paralized stallion behind and entered Sugarcube Corner, he moved his hoof to touch his muzzle, “her hoof is so soft… she loves you Zeph, you are such a stud HA! Oh baby pleaseeee give a little respect♫” and he happily flew back to his place singing.
As always it was really busy at Sugarcube Corner, ponies going in and out of the establishment, everypony enjoying the sweets the Cakes and Pinkie Pie baked for them. Pinkie Pie was mending the counter while the Cakes were on the back preparing the sweets.
“Pinkie, you got the brownies for the session today?”
“Yeah Dashie, they are in my room, hey since you are here can you do me a favor?”
“Sure, what is it?”
Pinke wrote on a piece of paper and gave it to Rainbow Dash, “I still need to be on the counter for a few hours, can you take the other box of brownies and deliver it to this address?”
“Gotcha, I’ll pick up the sweets, deliver them and go to the castle in ten seconds flat!”
“But remember Dashie, the red box with green and yellow bow is ours and the green box with yellow and red bow is the delivery… OH! And it’s already paid!”
“No problem, it’s me after all!” Rainbow Dash flew to Pinkie’s room and got out of her window flying to the address on Pinkie’s note.
~♥~♦~♣~♠~
The blue mare flew over the town stopping right over the address Pinkie put on her note, “ok, this is the place,” she approached the door and knocked with her hoof.
“Oh but if it’s Rainbow Dash, how are ya man?” an earth pony stallion with long mane and a goatee greeted the mare in a slow fashion.
“Oh Dude, this is your place?”
“Yeah man come in, my casa is your casa,” they headed to the living room where a sturdy looking stallion was sitting on the couch, “so what brings you to my humble abode?”
“Oh I brought your delivery from Sugarcube corner um…” Rainbow looked at the two packages she brought with her, “which one was it? Oh yeah, the green box with a yellow and red bow.”
“Oh you got the brownies!” a slender stallion said while walking down the stairs.
The sturdy stallion on the couch fixed his sunshades, “shut the fuck up, Donny and keep washing that rug! Hey you, Rainbow Dash was it? A friend of The Dude is a friend of mine, wanna grab a beer and listen to stories when I was a royal guard?”
“Come on man, nopony wants to listen to your rambling about being a war hero.”
“Dude I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that-”
“What dead buddies, man? You were on the reserves and it was just half a year and then came back right before the changelings attacked Canterlot, excuse my friend Colter, he has a big ego not like you, a Wondferbolt, a hero and now part of the friendship council, still you are here delivering brownies for a friend, man I’m honored to have such a humble pony in my abode.”
“Oh hehehe, yeah humble… I-I gotta go, enjoy your brownies!” Rainbow left one of the boxes on the table and ran off the house, “crap, the last thing I need right now is bad karma for faking being humble, maybe I should start being humble… NAH!” she giggled and flew directly to the castle.
~♥~♦~♣~♠~
Inside the castle studio there were four ponies, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight, the alicorn was checking on the equipment while Fluttershy was talking with Rarity who was leaning on Applejack, the cowpony listened to the other mares talk about fashion and animals while Rainbow Dash entered the room through the window, “hey girls, you missed me?” she put the box on the table, “I brought the brownies… oh crap!” she just noticed she left the wrong box at The Dude’s, “oh well, both weighed the same and both were brownies so whatever,” she removed the bow and the box throwing it on the thrash and served the brownies on a plate putting them on the table, “so, where is everypony else?”
“Pinkie hasn’t come yet, Tube and Tinker are back at Laburinthos to present their solar panel advances, Trixie and Starlight tagged along, they’ll be back in a few weeks, finally Spike and Sunburst are on a not-date with their respective not-girlfriends.”
“Ah reckon they should come clean with their feelings, Ah bet Gabby and Moondancer would appreciate it if they do,” Applejack said while nuzzling Rarity who giggled.
“The pot calling the kettle black, AJ, you had been dancing with Rarity since short after Twilight moved here and just recently went steady.”
“That ain’t the same Dash, Rares and Ah’ve known each other for years since school, even longer than you and Ah, we were just close acquaintances until we met Twilight and then… well Ah reckon something woke on that sleepover.”
Twilight finished checking the console and stared at the brownies, “boy those brownies sure look good, do you think Pinkie would mind if I grab one of them, I’m starving,” she grabbed a brownie with her magic and ate it.
“I don’t think she would mind, darling, I for one could use a sweet right now Jackie and I missed lunch because we were… um… anyway, do you want one love?” Applejack nodded, Rarity grabbed two brownies and gave one to her marefriend, “oh my stars, these are divine.”
The two pegasi grabbed one each as well since everypony else was doing it, ‘hmm, this tastes different than Pinkie’s usual brownies, but at the same time it tastes familiar,’ Fluttershy thought.
“Say Twilight, Ah heard you been bumpin’ heads with the nobles in Canterlot.”
“Yeah, I’ve been pushing to increase donations to areas like science and technology, it’s been really hard, some of the nobles are pretty stubborn and haven’t fully accepted me as Equestria sole ruler yet, but there are some that are helping, like the Marquese Star Gazer and Duke Fancy Pants we were able to purchase new equipment for learning centers and Prince Blueblood has helped funding scholarships.”
“Wait, isn’t that the jerk stallion that was rude to Rarity on the first Grand Galloping Gala?”
Twilight nodded, “yeah but that’s Rarity’s fault, if I knew she was referring to Blueblood I would have told her that he was… well let’s just say taken.”
Rarity smirked, “taken? You mean by… Rosa?”
Twilight chocked with the brownie “How do you know that?”
“Oh darling, I am a lady with connections and I have spent some time among the Canterlot Elite.”
“She saw ‘em escapin’ together at a party, sugarcube.”
“Jackie, you steal the romance out of everything,” Rarity said pouting.
“Sorry Rares, but that’s the truth.”
“Anyway, how do YOU know darling?”
“Oh well, Blueblood and I technically grew close, he being Celestia’s nephew and I being her student, I never considered him a friend… at least not until I met you girls and you taught me what a friend is, he is a pretty calm guy for royalty, but one thing he hates is all the mares trying to woo him just because he is a prince, anyway he has been a great help these last moons and we became good friends, he confessed that he is in love with his maid and is about to ask her hoof in marriage right after she graduates college on spring next year… wait that was supposed to be a secret, please don’t tell anypony,” she said giggling nervously.
All of them laughed but promised to keep it secret and so they kept waiting for Pinkie for a while and eating another brownie.
Rarity rubbed her shoulder on Applejack’s chest, “Jackie, your chest is sooo, comfortable.”
“Hehehe and you are mighty soft, love,” she replied.
Twilight was bouncing on her pillow, “hey Pinkie is taking a long time… DO YOU HEAR THAT! It sounded like, weird.”
“I’m not hearing anything,” said Fluttershy.
“Me neither,” said Rainbow Dash, but then she turned to the window where a baby alligator was floating tied to a balloon, “hey is that Gummy?”
The little guy was hanging with a note on its mouth, Fluttershy flew to him and picked it up, and a breeze blew him out of the castle, “it says that Pinkie had to take care of the twins and won’t come, she says she is sorry and to let Gummy fly back home on his own… I guess she is not coming.”
Twilight was staring directly at Fluttershy but her gaze was a bit off, “uh… what?” she shook her head, “Oh… I’m sorry I guess I’m kinda tired, so why don’t we begin?”
Rainbow Dash was eating yet another brownie, she swallowed and flew to the machine, “let me press it please,” she pressed the button, a chill music came out.
But instead of returning to her seat, Rainbow Dash stayed there rubbing the music box with her hoof, “hey Twilight, has the music box always been this smooth?”
“Huh… lemme see,” Twilight flew next to Rainbow Dash and touched the music box, “oh yeah it’s pretty smooth...”
“Um… girls?” Fluttershy asked, confused about their behaviour, she tried to stand but felt a bit dizzy, “oh… I see, this brownies… this will be interesting,” she whispered, she knew that Rainbow Dash was one of Green Blaze’s customers but she had never gotten high with her before, “but why would Pinkie put pot on these brownies without telling us or without coming herself.”
~♥~♦~♣~♠~
“Hey, there must be something wrong with this pot brownies man, it’s been ages and I feel nothing,” Jeff Letrowski said to the green mare on the chair.
“Yeah what the hay Blaze, I thought you said this was one of the top shelves!”
“Eh a, Mon, Mi personally did gi Pinkie di Kine Bud extract an shi hasn't failed mi before...” Green Blaze said rubbing her yellow and red mane.
“Hey guys, can I have some? I’m getting a bit tired of washing.”
“Shut the fuck up Donny, I can still smell the rug. You ain’t having any until it's completely clean!”
“I said I was SORRY!”
“Sorry man, but you disrespected Blaze’s house so you need to make peace with her.”
“Fine,” he said and continued washing the rug.
“Shud wi tell him Dat mi did ah gwine chrow dat rug tuh di trash anyway?”
“Nah, it’s too funny to look at him working all that hard.”
~♥~♦~♣~♠~
Rarity kept rubbing her face on her marefriend’s chest like a cat, while Applejack was blushing, “face… so... soft… Ah mean, sugarcube, don’t you think you should stop, we are not alone after all.”
“Nope, you?”
“Nah.”
It’s been around an hour… I think, since we all took the first pot brownie, they should experience the kick around now. Fluttershy thought while checking the chummy couple and the other ones rubbing the music box, she herself was also feeling the effects now but it was lower for her since she only took half brownie then and waited to eat the other half. Right now she could feel her senses enhanced making even the soft breeze an experience on her body, she can only imagine what Rarity and Applejack were feeling, “and the music is great.”
“Jackie, I’m feeling cold, hug me please.”
“Uh… ok, so soft,” she said while wrapping her arm and tail on her marefriend.
“Twilight… how long have we been rubbing this music box?”
“Like, I dunno, hey a song is playing, it’s nice… we should return to our seats.”
Both mares sat on their pillows while rubbing their buts on them while the song ended, “what the hay? Was that all the song? I wanna hear another one, but I don’t wanna get up,” said Twilight, she tried to press the button with her magic but realized she couldn’t “huh… my magic doesn’t work...”
“I’ll get it for you Twilight,” Fluttershy said, flying to the music box and pressing the button, another chill song played out of the machine.
Fluttershy returned to her seat next to Rainbow Dash, Twilight was rocking from side to side enjoying the song, not even taking notes like she used to do.
“Flutters.”
“Yeah Rainbow Dash?”
“I bumped into your brother today.”
“Oh?”
“He asked me out again, poor fool, he has no chance and he keeps trying, it’s getting annoying.”
“Well, who’s fault is that?”
“Uh… his?”
“No Dash, you and I both know that he is so entranced by you because you kept teasing him when we were foals, you even stole his first kiss.”
“AW COME ON! That isn’t fair Fluttershy, he was so shy and meek and… cute then, now he has an ego the size of Mount Everhoof!”
“Look who's talking, that’s one thing you both have in common.”
“One, only ONE! At least I have a job.”
“Dash, he has a job too, he is working at a mane salon, he is not one of the best but at least he is trying his best and he even set a goal to one day own his own salon.”
“Well he is still annoying… with his annoying colt bun and annoying voice and annoying purple eyes and annoying hoof and a half taller than me and his annoying white teeth and round butt and his eyes, you know my knight also had purple eyes, maybe that’s not as annoying...”
“And remember, you kept leading him on until we moved here and then never talked or wrote to him unless we visited my parents, that was mean of you Rainbow.”
“I-I-I couldn’t I.”
“Because you weren’t just teasing or leading him on, right?”
“What?”
“You actually liked him then.”
“Uh I-I… yeah I kinda liked him then.”
“Kinda?”
“FINE! I was heads over horseshoes for him, he was so cute and so innocent then, his cute mane was always so long and his bangs framed his face perfectly! Now every time I see him I remember the cute colt he was and then I wonder what would have happened if I confessed to him and stayed with him or even at least wrote him once in a while, maybe he wouldn’t have turned out to be that lazy or egocentric.”
“You don’t know that Rainbow, I guess is too late to know now, after all you hate him now.”
“I don’t hate him! I just find him unbearable, maybe if he wasn’t so obnoxious and lost the bun I might give him a chance… by the way, these were pot brownies right?”
“It seems that way, I guess Pinkie wanted to give us a surprise.”
“Nah, it wasn’t Pinkie, I got the wrong box, this one was meant for The Dude and his friends, I guess I’ll have to apologize to them later.”
Twilight kept rocking at the tune of the music meanwhile Rarity now rubbed her face on Applejack’s cheek while her hooves rubbed the earth pony all over her torso, “hey girls, I’m starving and I have a craving for hayburgers, wanna come?” said Twilight looking at her friends since the song just ended.
“Aaaaand here comes the munchies, I guess we should eat as well, you coming right Flutters?” the yellow pegasus nodded, “how about you AJ?”
“Ah’m not starvin’ but Ah could eat, you Rares?”
The white unicorn stared directly at Applejack eyes, “I’m craving apples right now!” she said giving bedroom eyes to the earth pony.
“Sorry we can’t go, somethin’ came up… goodbye ya’ll,” Applejack said while grabbing Rarity by the hoof and running as fast as they could muster to Rarity’s house.
“You go girl! I guess that makes it just us three.”
The three mares began walking to Bouncy Bun's hayburger joint without cleaning the mess they left in the studio, they were out of the castle when Twilight stopped, “I think I’m forgetting something.”
Rainbow sat on the ground, “you wanna go back to find out what you are forgetting?”
Twilight turned back and saw that she was four steps from the castle door, “no we’ve gone too far,” and they began walking again.
~♥~♦~♣~♠~
The trio was outside Bouncy Bun’s when a trio of stallions came out of the establishment, they looked like they’ve gotten in a fight with a dragon and barely escaped with their lives, burn marks and dried blood stains all over their bodies, the chubby earth pony had curly hair and he was missing a chunk of his right ear, the unicorn had a neck bracer and the slender pegasus seemed in better condition than the other two but still worse for wear. They were laughing and talking about now being the best of friends and that they should go to a hospital.
“What a bunch of weirdos,” Rainbow Dash said while they headed to the counter.
“What can I get cha ladies?” asked the counter pony, his nametag read Chuck.
“I want the usual, Chuck,” said Twilight.
“Oh Princess Twilight! But of course, Bunny get the extra buns! We need to prepare the Princess’ Usual, how about you girls?”
Fluttershy read the menu on the top of the counter and then cleared her throat, “I want thirty sliders, five hayfries and four large cherry sodas.”
“I want the same except make mine diet sodas… Chuck”
“Wowza, I love when the princess visits, that comes to a total of four hundred and twenty bits.”
Twilight searched under her wing and found nothing, then searched under the other wing and began worrying a bit, “um… I just remembered what I left behind.”
“AW COME ON! You are joking Twilight!”
“Rainbow Dash, don’t be so aggressive with poor Twilight, she just forgot.”
“Hey girls let me pay for it,” came a male voice behind them, showing a tall unicorn wearing a hoodie, sunglasses and pants covering his cutiemark, he was accompanied by a jenny wearing a long coat and also sunglasses.
“Uh who the hay are you?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Oh, you don’t know me, but I know her,” she pointed at Twilight, he then lifted his glasses for a moment so they could see who he was.
“Prince-bfbfbfbfbf,” the trio said while a golden aura covered their muzzles.
“Yeah yeah, if you haven’t noticed I’m trying to go incognito, Twilight kept talking about this hayburgers joint so much that I had to try it myself and it was amazing, the least I could do is pay for your meal as a thanks,” Prince Blueblood levitated a bag of bits to the counter, “this should cover their meals Chuck. I’m sorry I can’t stay longer but I have a busy day today, bye Twilight, let me see Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash right? Nice meeting you, hopefully we can share a meal someday. Let's go Rosa, we got places to be.”
The couple left them waiting for their hayburgers, once they were ready they had to put other two tables together for the sheer size of the order and when they began eating, it was an spectacle like no other, pieces of bread and hay flying everywhere, sounds that could only be described as coming from the underworld, all the ponies surrounding the trio stared in awe the monstrosity that the mares considered as heroes of equestria were committing, a cry of a baby could be heard on the background, some of the ponies leaving, their minds scarred for life at the memory of what they just saw, some ponies taking pictures of the scene. Life had now a different meaning, now life was just an excuse to witness miracles or curses like the one they attested to, nothing else mattered now, just the hay, the bread and the mares… but what do I know, I’m just a gator hanging from a balloon outside a hayburger restaurant.
