//------------------------------// // A Planned Prank // Story: Night of the Wolf // by Dinomite123 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash was a loyal girl who loves her friends. But she also loves to pull pranks. Lots of times she's been pranking everyone around town, including her friends. This time she was completely out of control. On the running field of the Wonderbolts, everyone was jogging around the track. Then the whistle ringed, that was the cue to stop. In the locker room, everyone was changing. "Whew, that was fun." Soarin smirked. "Yep, we've only got a couple more laps to go before we are ready for the big race." Spitfire said. "Yeah, and I'm gonna do one of the greatest pranks ever, starting tonight." Rainbow Dash told them. She took a box of cookies out of her locker and showed the Wonderbolt team the cookies. " So, I got to thinking – why waste my time pranking everypony one at a time when I could prank everypony at once? This is gonna be the best prank ever! I special ordered these joke cookies so the colors would match my hair." "What exactly are you gonna do anyway?" Misty Fly asked. "I'm gonna switch them with the Filly Guide cookies. When Scootaloo and her friends sell them, everybody in town's gonna get a rainbow mouth courtesy of Rainbow Dash! Ha-ha! It's gonna be so awesome!" "Rainbow, don't you think this prank is gonna take it a little too far?" Soarin told her. "Oh please, there's nothing better than to use a whoopie cushion or a confetti can." "C'mon Rainbow, your pranks are getting out of hand, and they need to stop." Spitfire added. "This will be the last prank, I promise." "You've already done enough when you pranked Fluttershy, Applejack, Mr. Cranky Doodle, Big Macintosh, and Mr. Cake." "But this one won't do any harm." Soarin looked in the mirror of his locker and could see his become yellow. He tried to hide it from Rainbow. "So, how's the experience in the academy treating you Soarin?" Rainbow asked. "Oh, uh...It's been better than ever." He answered, trying to not look at her with his eyes with color change. "Look, if your gonna do this prank then your gonna have to do it the easy way." Spitfire told Rainbow. "Can we just drop it and leave it alone already?" "Okay fine, but just remember...your actions always have a way of coming back to you." Rainbow Dash left to the girl's bathroom while the rest of the Wonderbolts stayed. "Do you guys think we should tell her?" Soarin wondered. "What do you mean?" Spitfire asked. "I mean should we tell her that we're werewolves?" "What? Heck no." Misty Fly exclaimed. "If we keep hiding this secret forever then more suspicion will come." "I know, but what if people would hunt us down?" "Not if Rainbow Dash can keep it a secret." "Besides, maybe she can be a wolf too and be part of our team." Misty Fly said. "Maybe, but that will have to wait." "And more than that, what if she can be the true alpha?" Soarin pointed out. "How can she be the true alpha?" "She's quick, she's clever, and she's loyal." "Good point." "Who knows who the true alpha would be." Misty Fly replied. The next day at Canterlot High, every student was walking around the hallway while Rainbow Dash was walking around as well and all she could think about is the prank she is gonna pull tonight. "This is gonna be so awesome, I can't wait to see how everyone reacts with rainbow teeth." She thought. Then she ran into Pinkie Pie. "Hey, Rainbow Dash! I have something very important to tell you!" She called. "Pinkie, hey! I actually have something totally important to tell you!" "You do? Ooh! You go first!" "Okay, you know how I've been pranking everybody?" Yeah! It's been pretty funny!" She giggled." I-I-I mean, actually, that's what I have to talk to you about." Rainbow pulled out a cookie. "Here. Have a cookie." "Ooh! Thanks! " She bites into it, with Rainbow goo on her mouth. " So, I got to thinking – why waste my time pranking everybody one at a time when I could prank everypony at once?" " Mmm, wow! Everypony at once?! That sounds amazing!" Pinkie then stopped to think of it. "Gah, wait! I mean, it's not." "You don't even know what it is yet! Pinkie, this is gonna be the best prank ever! I special ordered these joke cookies so the colors would match my hair." "And?" "And I'm gonna switch them with the Filly Guide cookies. When Scootaloo and her friends sell them, everypony in town's gonna get a rainbow mouth courtesy of Rainbow Dash!" Uh, I don't know. I mean, it doesn't really seem all that funny." Pinkie tried to tell her. "What?!" "Maybe this is a good time to stop pranking for a while. The other people in town really..." "Stop?! No way! This prank is happening, Pinkie! And it's gonna be hilarious!" Rainbow exclaimed. Pinkie munched into another cookie. Later after school, Pinkie was supposed to meetup with Rainbow Dash for the prank. But she never showed up, so she decided to go to her house to see what's keeping her. "Pinkie, what's the deal? I told you I needed your help switching out all the Filly Guide cookies for the joke cookies. But when you didn't show, I had to do it all by myself!" She called. She went to Pinkie's room and saw she was in bed. "Uh, Pinkie?" Pinkie turned to show her face was pale and she still had rainbow on her mouth. "Wow. Your face is still pretty rainbowed." Rainbow chuckled. "Yeah, I haven't really been feeling well." Pinkie coughed. "And these joke cookies are the only thing that makes me feel better. You don't have any more, do you?!" "Uh, no. I just told you, I used them all for the prank." "Oh." "Pretty soon, the CMCs will start selling them to everypony in town. Ponies will open their boxes and start eating, then all of their teeth will turn rainbow-colored, and they'll know it was me! It's gonna be so awesome! C'mon, you don't wanna miss it!" "Actually...I don't think I can even...stand...up...Unless you've got more cookies!" "On second thought, maybe you better stay here and rest." "Yeah. You're right. Sorry to miss out. I'm sure it's gonna be hilarious" Pinkie sighed. Later, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and the CMC were getting ready to deliver cookies throughout the town. "All right, who's ready to sell some cookies?" Rainbow Dash asked the CMC. "Me!" They both said. "Look here, Rainbow Dash. I know you promised Scootaloo you'd help out, but I don't want none of your pranks ruinin' these fillies' night." Applejack told Rainbow Dash. "Look, I'll be with you the whole night so you can totally keep an eye on me." She said. "Come on, Applejack! Let's get started!" Applebloom replied. "Yeah! We've got a lot of ground to cover!" Scootaloo sounded excited. "We wanna hit every house in Canterlot." Sweetie Belle jumped. "Come on! You heard her! Every house in Canterlot." Rainbow laughed. They moved along with them to sell the cookies to each house in Canterlot. But little did Rainbow know that she prank would backfire. And little did she know that she will soon...go wolf!
