Club Mile High

Under a clear sky
Pinkie, Spike and Twi
Happened to walk by
Two talking pegasi

They couldn't help but hear
From their friend so dear
Rainbow Dash being near
Laughing at her peer

Between giggles and snorts
Cutting words off short
About something to try
To join a club mile high

The other pegasi
Looked and did spy
Pinkie, Spike and Twi
Then took to the sky

Dash turned to see
Eyes of curiosity
Then blushed deeply
Too late to flee

“What is this club, can we join too?”
Asked Pinkie, bouncing like a fool
“I know, let's go get all the others
Then we can all join the club together!”

Dash stared in shock
Immobile like a rock
Jaw hanging slack
Words she did lack

Dash shook to clear her head
Realizing what Pinkie said
Meant she didn't have a clue
What she was asking to do

Rainbow Dash took to wing
“It's sort of a pegasus thing
To join the club mile high
You have to be able to fly.”

"We'll show those silly Pegasi!"
Said a determined Pinkie Pie
"We'll join their club mile high,
Let's go find Fluttershy!"

"Oh my, why?"
Querried Twi
"Do we need Fluttershy?"

But Twi was too slow
Pinkie did go
Leaving Twi and Spike to follow

At Fluttershy's home
They found she didn't know
What the club was about.
Seems she had been left out

Determined not to fail
Pinkie lead them by the tail
Ignoring everyone's wail
In the air they would sail!

"What's the big deal?"
Applejack appealed
"Besides can't you see
I need to buck this tree"

But Pinkie Pie would not be swayed
Grabbed AJ and away she made
With friends in tow back to town
To the maker of many a fine gown

“No, I can’t. Absolutely not.
Dresses I must make a lot!”
Rarity said while in a trot
A large commission had her fraught

“Besides Fluttershy
We can not fly
Just let slide by
This club mile high”

“You silly fillies, don’t you see?
We can break this club’s exclusivity
Don’t you worry, I have a plan!”
Pinkie Pie grabbed her friends and ran

“Wait, Pinkie! Stop!
Let this matter drop!”
Her friends all pleaded
But they went unheeded.

“One mile is not that high
We can do it if we try”
Pinkie Pie did almost croon
“All we need is your balloon!”

“The balloon? Are you crazy?”
Twi said hastily
“The balloon doesn’t belong to me
It’s the Princess’ property”

“We won’t hurt it, don’t you fret,
We’ll be back before the sunset”
Pinkie dumped her friends in the basket
Untied the ropes and up they went

The ponies sighed and relented
The balloon rose and ascended
Pinkie placed Spike in the chair above
Then gave the dragon a shove.

“Higher! Higher!
We need more fire!
Breath and exhale
Or I’ll bite your tail!”

Later, lounging in a tree
Dash woke from a nap so sleepy
Ponies below were talking
Looking up and gawking

Dash flew down and followed their gaze
But was hard to see through sleepy haze.
She covered her mouth and stifled a yawn,
Then asked what was going on.

“Rainbow Dash, I am surprised
I thought you’d be with your friends in the sky
They took balloon up, up to fly
Said something about a club mile high.”

“They’re up high?
In the sky?
With Fluttershy?
I must fly!”

Upwards in a panic the pegasus zoomed
Behind her almost Sonic Rainboomed.
Near the balloon she heard a chorus
Of whoops and hollers and other raised voices

Fearing the worst, Dash covered her eyes
What she heard was enough surprise
“I can’t believe they did it.” She said aloud
She wanted only to hide in a cloud.

“Dashie, I see you, you can’t hide!”
Yelled a joyous Pinkie Pie.
“No more are you pegasai,
Exclusive to club mile high!”

“Hey, Dash, why don’t you join us?”
Spike invited the pegasus.
“It’ll be tight, but we got room
For one more in this balloon”

Spike was there too? This was too much!
Then she felt hooves upon her clutch
Pulled into the gondola basket
Where they were making a terrible racket

No point fighting, she opened her eyes
And stared at them in wild surprise
Not at all what she expected to see
It was just a Pinkie Pie style party

Dash couldn’t help it, she started laughing
Her friends’ ignorance was just astounding
Clearly they had no idea just why
They really had not joined club mile high

They were confused by Dash’s unusual laughter.
“Are you alright, is something the matter?”
They wondered about Dash’s strange behavior
To which she replied, “I’ll tell you all later”
