Rarity sighed as she rolled over, eyes still heavy with sleep. She felt something press against her nose and managed to force her eyes open. Her vision filled with a big pair of baby blue eyes.
"HI Rarity!"
Rarity shut her eyes. It was too early for Pinkie Pie. Wait. Why was Pinkie in her bed? She opened her eyes again and was greeted with Pinkie Pie's smiling face. Pinkie's hair was even poofier than usual. Pinkie's eyes twinkled and she had a huge grin plastered across her face. Rarity could only remember one other time that Pinkie looked this happy and that was when she had agreed to go out with her.
"You loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove me," said Pinkie quietly.
Rarity blinked. Oh right, I suppose I did finally say that, didn't I, she thought to herself. Pinkie was still grinning at her as she sighed. "Yes darling, I do love you."
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Pinkie squealed and wrapped her legs around Rarity, giving her a full body hug and almost squeezing the breath out of her. "I lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove you so much RARITY!"
So much for a nice relaxing morning, Rarity thought to herself. Still... nopony gives a hug like Pinkie. She closed her eyes again and let herself be engulfed by the soft pink pony who smelled vaguely of sugar.
Eventually Rarity's stomach got the better of her and she gently pushed Pinkie away. "I don't know about you, but I am simply famished," she said as she stood up.
"Aww Raaaaaarityyyyyyyyyyyyy, I wasn't finished yet."
"I know darling but we would both starve before you were finished." Rarity gave Pinkie a nuzzle then trotted to her mirror and quickly fixed her mane and tail. "There we go. Come along Pinkie." And with that Rarity trotted out of her bedroom and down the stairs to the kitchen followed closely by a hopping Pinkie Pie.
"So what shall we have for breakfast?" Rarity asked as she trotted over to the counter.
"Oo,oo,ooh! I know, do you have any cupcakes?"
Rarity wrinkled her nose "Don't you think it's a bit early for sweets?"
Pinkie's eyes went wide and she gasped "Too early for sweets? It's never too early for sweets!"
Rarity rolled her eyes and pushed a lock of hair out of her face with her hoof. "Well, I don't think I have any cupcakes." She looked around the kitchen and noticed the box that Pinkie had brought the cake in for their date last night. She walked over and used her magic to open the lid. "We still have some cake from last night, would that be alright?"
Pinkie gasped again. "But Rarityyyyyyyyyyyyyy," she looked crest fallen, her eyes watered and her lip quivered. "I made that cake super especially for you."
"And I wish to share it with the pony I love," replied Rarity. She smiled at Pinkie Pie as she levitated a knife and cut a large slice of cake. A light blue hue carried the cake over to Pinkie as she held out her hooves, eagerly awaiting the sugary sweetness.
Rarity watched as Pinkie took the plate the cake rested on in her hooves. Pinkie looked up from the cake to Rarity and waited. She looked at the small slice of cake left. The cake was delicious but she was not that fond on something so sweet first thing in the morning. She looked back at Pinkie and saw the pink pony looking at her with those big blue eyes and sweet smile. She sighed and levitated a fork over to the last slice, cutting off the end of it and skewering it on the tip of the fork. The cake had barely touched her lips when her heart stopped. Pinkie tossed the large slice of cake into the air. Time seemed to slow down as she watched the cake spin around and around, threatening to land on something that would stain. At the last minute Pinkie leapt out of her chair and devoured the cake in a single gulp. She landed on the table and her front legs slid out from under her causing her to slide forward and collide with Rarity.
"Hahahehehe *snort* Sorry Rarity."
Rarity glared up at Pinkie as the pink pony crawled off her and extended a hoof to help her up. "Well at least you didn't make a mess this time." Rarity said and ran a hoof over her hair to fix it. Her cake still stood on her plate. To ensure no disaster befell anything else in her kitchen, she quickly ate the last of the slice, only taking time to savor her last bite. She stood up from the table and levitated the empty plates to the sink.
"Alright darling, my client will be by to pick up the capes this evening so we have the whole day together. We spent last night doing what I wanted. So I'll leave the choice of what we do today up to you."
Pinkie Pie sat back on her haunches and brought her hoof up to her chin as she thought in her own exaggerated way. "Hmmmm, well we still need to have the "I love you Pinkie" party. It would be hard to get everypony together before you have to meet your client though. I know Dashie wanted to go pranking today but this is our day and I don't think you would enjoy pranking as much as we do."
Watching Pinkie Pie work out what to do was fascinating to Rarity. Each little eye movement and twitch of her nose was an idea running though her mind.
"I doubt you want to go to the spa together, not after last time, but I still think they needed a Pinkie Pie party touch. We could go ice skating but its summer, and we have no ice, ohh but we could make ice, we just need-"
It was always difficult to follow Pinkie, especially when she got off on one of her trains of Pinkie thought. Rarity's eyes went wide as she watched Pinkie pacing, with one hoof on her chin and her other front hoof dragging across the floor leaving scuff marks on her lovely spotless floor.
"-but to do that we would need a tuba and I don't know where I mmmphh" Rarity silenced the pink pony by pressing her hoof up against her mouth.
"Why don't we just go out and see what we can find, darling." She removed her hoof from Pinkie's mouth.
A big goofy happy smile crossed Pinkie's lips as she hopped next to Rarity and the two headed to the door. "Hehehehe, well whatever we do, it's going to be great because we're going to be together."
A big warm feeling rushed though Rarity at Pinkies word's. She waited till Pinkie landed from one of her hops and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. She smiled as a squeal erupted from Pinkie's lips. The pink pony was right; as long as they did whatever they were going to do together, it would be great. She just hoped it wouldn't end up being messy.
