“A contest… what’s the prize?”
“Simple, the winner gives the loser a challenge that they have to do.”

Rainbow Dash, currently laid back against numerous cushions, shrugged before nodding, “Alright, sure. I’m game. So what’s the challenge?”
Pinkie Pie just giggled, wallowing in her own pile of cushions. “The first one to break loses.” She replied cryptically.

Rainbow tried to extract herself from her pit, “What?”
Before she’d had a chance to sit up, Pinkie appeared over her, grinning widely and with her hooves in the air. She paused a moment before bringing her hooves down and bellowing, “Tickle fight!”
“Wha-hahahaha-hey!” Rainbow almost immediately cracked up, guffawing madly as Pinkie trained her hooves on Rainbow’s belly. But as quickly as it had begun, it stopped and Pinkie sat back, still grinning madly.

“You snooze, you lose,” she commented as Rainbow fought to catch her breath, “Anyway… first challenge, first challenge, oh I know! I challenge you… I challenge you to give me a great big kiss!”
Rainbow cracked a grin, “That I can do…” she said before pushing herself up out of the cushions and planting a big, wet and sloppy kiss on Pinkie’s forehead. “Challenge complete,” she commented before continuing, “Anyway, round two. Bring it on!”

Pinkie almost immediately dived at Rainbow, only for her to dodge to the side, letting Pinkie land in the pile of cushions before diving in for the kill. Seeing her target, she fixed her mouth around the tip of Pinkie’s hoof and started blowing a raspberry. Pinkie’s giggles started a moment later, echoing around the room and causing Rainbow to stop, drawing back to give Pinkie time to recover.

“My move I think… alright, I challenge you to stay still for thirty seconds…” She paused dramatically, “While there are cupcakes in front of you.”
Pinkie’s eyes widened and she gasped audibly as Rainbow took a cupcake from one of the many plates on the side and laid it before her.
“On your marks… go.”

Almost immediately, Rainbow could see Pinkie struggling. True to the challenge, it was like she’d been frozen in place, her eyes fixated on the cupcake before her. Barely five seconds in, she’d already started to sweat and Rainbow could almost see the effort Pinkie was putting in to stay still. Fifteen seconds in, the tip of Pinkie’s mane started pointing and nudging itself downwards, directly towards the cupcake, and Rainbow’s mouth dropped open.

She was broken out of her reverie when the thirty second mark was reached and there was a blur in front of her as Pinkie all-but slammed her face into the cupcake, scarfing it down like it was the last piece of food in Equestria. Moments later, she sat up, her grin gone whilst her eyes kept laughing, “Alright… no more Mrs nice Pie…” she said before pouncing again.

Yet again, she caught Rainbow by surprise, but Rainbow fought against the laughter, even as Pinkie’s hooves tried to split her sides once again. She put her own hooves on the offence, trying to slip through and reach Pinkie’s own stomach. She’d almost found it when Pinkie decided to lick Rainbow’s forehoof, causing her to open her mouth while she pressed her advantage, resulting in yet another array of giggles and snorts from Rainbow.

Pinkie drew back again, her smile back again as she surveyed the gasping Rainbow in front of her. “Alright, time for a little revenge, I challenge you to give Gummy a hug for a whole minute before giving him a kiss.”

Rainbow’s jaw dropped open as Pinkie laid her challenge out. “But- But I can’t-”
“What’s that Dashie? You want to forfeit the challenge?”
Rainbow clenched her jaw, “Just give me the damn gator.” She muttered between gritted teeth.

Pinkie just smiled before diving into her own cushion pile and withdrawing a rather confused looking Gummy along with her, now admittedly attached to her tail. “Here ya go. I gotta warn you though… he doesn’t like letting go.”
Rainbow nodded, eyeing Pinkie’s pet warily, “Alright… pass him over then, let’s get this over with.”

Pinkie spun around, presenting her tail with Gummy still firmly attached to it. Rainbow sighed before moving forwards to take Pinkie’s pet. He was a lot slipperier than he looked, his scales making a good purchase on him somewhat impossible. Still, after a moments tugging, he was free and within Rainbow’s hooves.

Somewhere beside her, Pinkie started counting down, not that Rainbow could focus on it as she tried desperately to keep the slippery alligator within her hug. He just kept on trying to turn around within her hooves, slipping down further and further as she tried to adjust her grip on him.

“Alright, now kiss!” Pinkie exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear at Rainbow’s discomfort.
Rainbow sighed, looking down into the wide and unblinking eyes of Gummy. “Alright… let’s do this.” She said to herself, lifting the alligator up in front of her before drawing him closer and closer to her own muzzle. She shut her eyes, expecting to feel scales against her muzzle any second.

She moved her hooves closer and closer, her frown getting deeper and deeper. That was when she felt a pair of jaws clamp around her muzzle and her eyes sprung open. Somewhere off to the side of her, she heard Pinkie’s laughter start again as she looked into the unblinking eyes of the alligator currently attached to her face.

Both of his eyes slid shut and open as she watched. She stayed like that for another moment before bringing her hooves up and trying to pry him off her. True to Pinkie’s warning though, he didn’t want to budge, no matter how hard she pulled, how much she twisted or how many times she tried to prise his jaws open, he just stayed there while Pinkie kept laughing and laughing and laughing.

Eventually, she managed to force the tip of her hoof between his jaws and prise him off. He fell to the pile of cushions, landing with a soft ‘thwump’ as Rainbow opened and closed her mouth a few times, trying to work the feeling of ‘Gummy clamp’ out.

Once she was sure that her jaw was working properly once again, she let out a low growl, spinning around and pouncing on Pinkie before she had time to react, but instead of going for her weak spots, she contented herself with simply bowling Pinkie over into a deep kiss, pressing her back against the ground and keeping her mouth occupied as best as she could.

Pinkie responded in kind, wrapping all four hooves around Rainbow and fixing her to Pinkie, moving from one game to another.
