//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: J-E-A-L-O-U-S-! *Edited* // Story: Pinkie Pie: Feelings Get! // by RaccoonBL //------------------------------// One day is fine. Pinkie thought to herself as she was looking for Rainbow Dash. Two is ok, but four in a row?!? Pinkie couldn't believe it. It felt like Gilda was more important to Rainbow Dash then her; She didn't like that one bit. Pinkie Pie sulked her head down. Does she even think of me as a friend still? The pink pony raised her head up high. "I have to stop thinking like that!" She Exclaimed. She then finally spotted Rainbow Dash and trotted up to her. "Hay Dashie!" The cyan pegasus turned to face Pinkie. Rainbow felt a little bit uncomfortable seeing Pinkie Pie every morning and having to say the same thing over again. "Listen, Pinkie." Began Rainbow. "About today..." Uh oh. Thought Pinkie. "...You see I still have some stuff to talk to Gilda about." Here it comes. "And It will probably take the whole day again..." ...Fifth. "...So I won't have time to prank with you." The feeling of being crushed returns. "I'll see you later...ok?"And with that, Rainbow Dash took off into the sky. Pinkie Pie started getting really depressed. Why doesn't she want to hang out with me anymore? Pinkie thought to herself. Is there something wrong with me? Is she avoiding me? The questions just kept pouring into her head. The anger inside her was starting build. The anger then turned to rage. She was just so mad; She needed something to take her anger out on. Then an idea popped into her head. The only reason why Dashie isn't hanging out with me...Is because she wants to spend time with Gilda...Pinkie Pie gave out a smirk. Which means if I get rid of the griffon pest, Dashie will have to spend time with me. Pinkie then started laughing uncontrollably. Suddenly, Fluttershy's voice popped into her head. "Promise me you won't do anything to Gilda to make her stay away from Rainbow Dash." Pinkie then went back into her depressed state. Thats right. Pinkie thought. Fluttershy doesn't want me to get rid of Gilda. She was now faced with a terrible dilemma. Let Gilda and Rainbow Dash hang out more and stay heartbroken, or split up Gilda and Rainbow but betray Fluttershy in the process. What to do... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike was tidying up the library while Twilight was out with Rarity to find a certain gem to study. He was just organizing the quill and parchments. "Spike!" Shouted Pinkie Pie. "Can you write a letter for me?" Spike smiled. "Sure I can." Replied the dragon. Spike snatched up a quill and parchment and was ready to write. Pinkie cleared her throat. "Dear Gilda, I am writing to you to tell you how much of a jerk you are. You're are rude, ugly, and its no wonder why no pony wants to be your friend. No love for you, Rainbow Dash. Ps. You are a pain in the a-" "Rainbow Dash?" Questioned Spike. "Why are you asking me to put Rainbow Dash as the writer? You are the one asking me to write it." "Well..." Began Pinkie. She stopped to consider her words carefully, the wrong word choice and its all over. "You see Spike, I don't trust Gilda. I think she is going to end up hurting Rainbow Dash again." Pinkie Pie face dropped. "I wanted you to write the letter so that when Gilda read it, she would think Dashie hates her, then leave knowing Rainbow Dash doesn't trust her. I just don't want to see Rainbow hurt." Pinkie then gave her best fake frowny face. "Is that really what you were planning?" Spike said a little suspicious. Pinkie had a little bit of sweat pouring down. "Well..." "I think you are jealous...AGAIN!" Spike answered himself. "JEALOUS?!?...AGAIN?!?" Spat out Pinkie. "I wasn't even jealous the first time!" "Sure you weren't." Said Spike sarcastically. "Anyway, this isn't the way to go Pinkie. Trust me, I've been there." Oh, really? Pinkie thought sarcastically. "Come on Spike! Don't you trust me?" "I trust Twilight more." Replied Spike. "I'm willing to bet she wouldn't want you to do this. Thus, letter denied!" Spike took both ends of the parchment, then tore it to shreds. Pinkie's eyes widen as she saw what might have been her last chance to spend time with Rainbow Dash literally ripped to shreds. "Fine...You win..." Pinkie started walking towards the door. "Just do me a favor, don't tell any pony about this, especially not Fluttershy." Spike thought about this for a moment. "Fine...On one condition!" Spike gave a smiled "You have to get me 10 of those sapphire cupcakes the Cakes made for me." Pinkie gave a smile too. "Thank you." Pinkie returned to going out the door with her sad expression. What am I to do now? "So, why did you want Gilda out of the picture?" Pinkie was snapped out of thoughts as she was right outside Twilight's house. She turned around to see Applejack was leaning against the treehouse with a smirk on her face and her hat covering the top half of her face. The orange equine kicked off the tree and landed with her hat back on the top. "Well Pinkie?" Pinkie started shaking, and it wasn't the twitch. "Um..." Managed Pinkie. "I-I just wanted to keep Dashie safe from Gilda." "Well that sounds fine." Pinkie Pie released her breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Now that we got that out of the way." Applejack got a little closer with a more serious look. "Whats the real reason?" To Pinkie, that sounded more like a demand instead of a question. Pinkie sighed. "...I guess...I was a little jealous." "A LITTLE jealous?!?" Applejack questioned with disbelief. "Pinkie, you were trying to separate two pals! I hardly call that a little." "Well you're the one who was spying on me," Pinkie roared. "And you're calling me a bad friend?" "I was only trying to make sure you weren't doing anything hasty. I can't believe you would even think of pulling something like this." Pinkie lowered her head in shame. "Come to think of it, jealous really doesn't fit the bill. I don't think jealousy is reason enough." Pinkie's eyes widened. "Um, no, I was definitely jealous." Pinkie spoke in panic. Applejack thought about that for a little bit. She then gave a tiny laugh. "Well if that was the case, that would mean..." Applejack didn't finish her sentence. She frowned as she realized what was going on. "Pinkie...You don't mean to tell me..." Pinkie nodded her head. Applejack gave out a sigh. "Look, Pinkie Pie, I think you should give up on Rainbow Dash." Pinkie was taken aback by Applejack's comment. "WHAT?!?" Shouted out Pinkie. "Why would I do that? She's perfect!" "Its just that, I don't think it would work out." Pinkie glared at her. "Oh, so you think I'm not good enough for her." Pinkie spat out with rage. "No, Pinkie! I'm trying to say..." "You think I'm an idiot don't you? An idiot just because I like another mare." "Stop putting words in my mouth!" "I've had enough of this." "Pinkie! WAIT!" But it was already too late. Pinkie was galloping farther away, tears in her eyes, until she was out of view. Applejack's face was agape as the events of what just happened sank in. Horseapples... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Why would Applejack say that me?" Said Pinkie to herself. It was the middle of the night and Pinkie could hardly get any sleep. When she got home to Sugercube Corner, she had a lot of explaining to do to the Cakes about why she was crying. The Cakes tried the best they could to try to cheer Pinkie up, but to no avail. She told the Cakes she needed some time alone, they eventually agreed and let Pinkie return to her room. She was thinking about how Applejack had just insulted her like that. Give up on my Dashie? Thought Pinkie. NEVER! Just because I'm a fillyfooler and she...could possibly not be doesn't mean there is no hope! Pinkie Pie's trademark smile reappeared on her face. "That's right, I can't give up!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Tomorrow I'll tell my secret to Twilight and everything shall be ok...She will help me out." She then was finally able to sleep. She dreamt a happy dream of her and Rainbow Dash and their future together. Little did she know, her dream future still had a couple bumps to go...Especially involving Twilight.
