Chapter 26: Too Many Pinkie Pies
I was walking through town on my way to the jewelry store, when I heard a mare call me. I looked to see Screwball with what looked like armor on her legs. She was also floating a few feet off the ground. “I did it. It took 8 months, 8 bucking months, but I did it. I have the legs of my armor done.”
“Oh that’s awesome sis.”
“So what are you doing?”
“I’m finally going to buy a wedding bracelet for Rainbow.”
“Isn’t buying it two months after you get engaged kinda weird?”
I shrugged and said, “I don’t make that much working for Twilight. It’s not her fault, I mean the town pays her. Yet I still did have to take some money out of my bank account so I have enough to get a decent bracelet.”
Screwball flew in front of me and said, “Save your money. I can help you get the perfect gem for free.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you remember? We known of a cave filled with gems.” She stated putting her arm on my shoulders.
“Yeah, a hoard that belongs to a dragon.”
“What are you telling me you’re scared of dragons?”
“What?! No! Hell, I work with one everyday. You know, I just realized something, he doesn’t get paid, yet if Twilight’s out he outranks me. Come to think of it so does Owlohsius.”
Screwball let out a small chuckle, “Wow, if the only staff member you outrank is a baby phoenix named Peewee, I would rethink my choice in jobs if I where you. And as for the dragon don’t worry, Larry and I are cool.”
“Larry?”
“Yeah it’s amazing how you instantly gain somepony’s respect once you blind them by throwing acid in their face.” She then gave a huge grin.
“How in the holy hell was I the one that had to prove to the town that I wasn’t evil?”
“Those three fillies chose you to do that article on. The worst they did to me was saying that me and Carrot Top were dating.”

We walked to the edge of the Everfree Forest where we ran into Pinkie Pie.
“Hey Pinkie, what’s up?” I ask.
“I’m going to look for the mirror pool so I can hang with both Dashie and Applejack at the same time. What are you two doing?”
“Screwball and I are going to steal a gem from a dragon named Larry that’ll be perfect for Rainbow’s wedding bracelet, but when you see her don’t tell her.” I said.
“Why? You and Dashie are already going to get married?”
“I know, but when I proposed I didn’t have the bracelet, plus I was kinda tipsy from the zap apple cider. So I want the actual giving of the bracelet to be more professional than that.”
“Oh, Okie dokie lokie. You have fun.” She then bounced off into the forest.
______________________________________________________________________________
So Screwball and I walked through the forest and we spent the time catching up. I told her about the girls and I traveling to another universe a couple of months ago, while she told me how thing were going working of Photo Finish. She also told me a few things about Berry and Colgate.
“Wow that’s why Berry Punch drinks so much? I never knew something so bad like that happened to her. Damn, now I feel terrible for making fun of her that one time.”
“Hey you yourself were drunk at that time. Besides she forgave you. Plus she has been drinking less sense she and Colgate started dating.” She then let out a deep sigh.
“Is something wrong?”
“Well it’s just, you know my two closest friends are together and you’re getting married in a few months. I guess I kinda wish I had a special somepony.”
“Have you tried asking anypony out?”
“Well no...”
“Then do so. Whether they be stallion or mare I’m sure they’ll say yes. I mean you’re a model and you invented a way for ponies to fly without wings or magic.”
“Well technically the gems powering them are magic.”
“Whatever, what I’m saying is you have both beauty and brains so just get out there.”
Screwball stopped. I turned around to see why the next thing I knew she was hugging me.
She then whispered “Thanks Seth.”

We got to the cave where we heard the booming voice of a green dragon that had scaring around its eyes that where now pure white. “Who’s there?”
“Hey Mr. Larry!” Screwball said.
“M-Miss Screwball?! O-Oh, I-I-I-I’m sorry! Feel free to have more gems if you want. Also can you please stop calling me Larry I told you my name is...”
“I don’t care what your name is.”
“Okay.”
I raised an eyebrow “What did he mean by more gems?”
“What you though I would leave a hoard like this? Also you’re a really bad hunting dog because I found like at least 50 more spirt stones.” She told me.
I start looking through the pile for like a good while until I found it. It was smooth and in the shape of a perfect oval. It also consisted of six colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. A rainbow gem, one of the rarest gems known to ponykind. Perfect for a mare named Rainbow Dash don’t you think.
So we left, Screwball toke the gem so she could make the bracelet. I walked back to town to find the others, except Pinkie walking from Sugarcube Corner.
I smiled and asked, “Hey everypony did I miss anything?”

A few days later Rainbow and I were walking home after having a nice dinner. I stopped her in the middle of the park.
“I have something to give you Rainbow.” I told her.
“Oh really what?”
I levitated a black box out of my jacket pocket and opened it to show her the bracelet with muti-colored gem inside.
Her jaw dropped. “Is that a rainbow gem?”
“Indeed it is. It’s you wedding bracelet. Sorry it’s a little late.”
“It’s fine, but how in the hay could you afford this?”
“Let’s just say I got a 100% discount.”
“You stole it!”
“No! I mean well kinda yes, but not from a store. From a dragon. The one Screwball threw acid at.”
“Oh I see. So that’s what you were doing when we were dealing with the Pinkie clones.”
I slipped it one her left hoof and asked, “So do you like it?”
She wrapped her arms around me, gave me a small kiss and said, “I love it.”
