A Dash of Hope

Chapter 5 *edit*

By the time I woke up the next morning, it was noon. I quickly got up and showered. 'Damn, I need a toothbrush and toothpaste.' I though as after getting dressed. Rarity had bough over more cloths for me so I wouldn't be wearing the same thing. I came running down stairs to see Twilight and Rainbow Dash sitting at the table. They looked at me, then Dash had one of her laughing fits. I quickly ran upstairs to see that my hair was back to its normal self, but really messy. I fixed it up and went back down.

"Aww, why did you fix your hair? You looked awfully good like that." Dash said and smiled. Twilight rolled her eyes and I just blushed.

"Well Dash, I didnt know you had a crush on me." I said, hoping to embarrass her. She looked away for a minute, then looked back at me, grinning.

"Are you asking me out of a date? I think six should work. Ill stop by and we can go out for dinner. Oh, well look at the time, I better be going to work. See you guys." She said, not letting me respond. I looked over at Twilight, who was having a giggle fit.

"You to would be a cute couple." She then said, after responding. I just rolled my eyes, which were pink from the moments ago.

"There wouldn't be a chance that me and Dash could go out. Im a


"So, whats today's plans?" She asked me, drawing me from my day dream.

"Find a job maybe, I cant live off you forever." I told her.

"I might be able to think of a pl ace where you can work." She said with a gin.





When we made it to the market, it was about 3:15 pm. She didn't tell me where we were going, but I think I had an idea. We walked for another five minutes before heading into Sugarcube corner. We walked in, at smelt amazing!! Then I started to wonder what we are doing here.

"Twi, what are we doing here?" I asked her.

"Well, you want a job, and look," She pointed towards a window. I saw a "Help Wanted" sign and just face palmed. Which caused her to giggle.

"Hi Ms. Cake." Twilight said with a smile.

"Hi deary. What would you like to order today?" Ms. Cake asked with a smile.

"Actually, my friend here would like a job." She said, then pushed me towards the counter.

"Well, Pinkie could use some help. Do you know how to bake?" She asked me.

"No, but i'm a fast learner." I informed her. She smiled at me.

"Pinkie, can you come out here for a minute?" She asked, then a pink blur came out of nowhere standing right next to her. The strange this is Ms. Cake didn't even flinch. "Pinkie, what do you think about your friend working here?" She asked her. The next thing I knew, I was laying on the ground with a very hyper pinkie pony jumping up and down ontop of me, talking at a million miles an hour.

"Ohmygosh,wearegunnahavesomuchfun!
Wearegunnamakecupcakes,cakes,muffins,cookies,brownies,andevensandwhichsifwehaveto!!!"She said in a single breath. I was getting less and less surprised. Twilight and Ms. Cake where both giggling at the site, while I just blushed. We talked for several more minutes before I signed a contract. I shit-you-not when I tell you the pen was made out of cookies, and the ink was chocolate syrup.

"Now, it should only take a couple of minutes for Pinkie to show you around the kitchen." Ms Cake told me. Pinkie then dragged me back to the kitchen, where the nightmare began. The kitchen was not only a reck, but a complete mess. There was flour all over the ground, frosting on the icebox. Even eggs in their toaster.

"Oh, the kitchen is a bit messy, but don't worry, I got this." Pinkie the started to run around, causing a tornado like affect. The whole process took maybe seven seconds. But, when she was done, everything was sparkly clean. I just stood their and stared. Pinkie pie then started to talk about what we would be doing, like nothing ever happened. Well, she basically told me that we would be baking. That's it. Baking, baking, and after that was done, MORE FUCKING BAKING. I made a bet mentally that I would loss my mind after maybe two-three weeks tops. But, it couldn't be that bad. I was working with a friend that can make everything an.......adventure.

After she showed me around, Twilight and I left for the Library. On the way, we picked up a tuxedo Rarity had made for me. I started to think about what me and Dash would do. Hopefully it would be short and sweet, I didn't want to turn this into something that it shouldn't be.

'We cant go out, she's a pony and i'm a..........." I didn't even know what I was. It felt weird, I didn't know anything about myself, family, or even my home world. I cant even believe I know some of the words I speak. I decided to deal with it later and focus on my date with Dash. When we got back to library, it was around five. I was in my room, getting ready for my date. . I was almost ready when...............
