//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Secrets, Secrets, are so Fun!... // Story: Pinkie Pie: Feelings Get! // by RaccoonBL //------------------------------// Well...Today's the day. Thought the pink pony. After today, all my friends will know. It was most likely the middle of the day. Pinkie had finished all her chores, gave a, "later," to the cakes, then left. She was determined to tell Twilight and nothing would stop her. "I brought you a letter!" Sang Derpy. "Huh?" Pinkie gave a quick spin in the other direction. Derpy was holding a letter with her same goofy, yet adorable, expression. Unfortunately, Pinkie didn't have time for this. "Sorry Derpy, but I have other things to deal with." Derpy's glee faded. "Oh, ok." Replied Derpy. "I'll just return this letter to Rainbow Dash..." Pinkie froze in place. "D-Dashie?" "Yeah, it says: Send to Pinkie Pie, From Rainbow Dash." Derpy was about to take off, but Pinkie Pie tackled her with a big hug and nuzzle. "Oh thank you, thank you Derpy!" Said Pinkie in between nuzzles. Pinkie picked the letter from Derpy and began opening the letter. Pinkie cleared her throat, then read. Dear Pinkie Pie Gilda will be returning home later today. We will finally have time to spend together! Isn't that AWESOME! Anyway, please meet me at the park tomorrow at 7:00 P:M.. Get ready to have some pranking fun! Sincerely, Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie couldn't believe it. Dashie was actually going to visit me... The pink pony couldn't hold it in any longer. She rocketed into the air and exploded with joy. "YES!" Pinkie shouted. "She's finally going to spend time with me!" All the ponies that were there at the moment were looking at Pinkie Pie funny, but she was too much of a joyous mood to care. "Oh Derpy, thank you for giving me this let-." When Pinkie turned to face Derpy, she was not there. "...Oh well! I guess a mail mare's work is never done huh?"Pinkie Pie looked at the clock tower. "Its 3:00 P.M. right now...Its time to go see Twilight." Pinkie started headed towards the library. "And then I will meet up with Rainbow Dash tomorrow..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey Twilight, I found the Daring Doo book you said was for Rainbow Dash." Announced Spike. Twilight turned from her book and gave a smile. "Thank you Spike," Twilight said. "Rainbow Dash will surly be happy about this." Knock, knock, knock. "Hang on spike, someone's at the door." Twilight opened the door to reveal a somewhat nervous Pinkie Pie. "Hi Twilight." Began Pinkie. "I need to talk to you about something." "Sure!" Replied Twilight. "Me and Spike are always happy to help." Pinkie blushed. "Uh, a serious talk." Twilight had a confused look on her face. Pinkie Pie put a hoof to her face knowing full well that Twilight wouldn't get it anytime soon. Pinkie Pie let out a sigh. "Just get Spike out of here." Twilight quickly shoed Spike away. "Well now that we got that out of the way," Spoke out Twilight. "Lets talk over tea..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was just finishing making her own tea and, being the proper host she was, finished Pinkie Pie's tea before her. They both sat down at a table and began to talk. "So," Began Twilight as she sipped her tea. "What do you want to talk about?" Pinkie was a little nervous. I don't know about this. Thought Pinkie Pie. What if she ends up hating me like Applejack? Twilight noticed how unsure Pinkie was. She took another sip then asked Pinkie a question. "Is something wrong Pinkie?" Pinkie turned to face Twilight then shot her a reply. "Can I answer your question, with another question?" Twilight shrugged. "I don't see why not." "Can you keep a secret?" Twilight frowned. "Um, Pinkie, you know the answer to that question." She was right, Pinkie did know the answer. Unfortunately, she didn't like it. The fact of the matter is, she was a horrible secret keeper. She actual put her head in a plant pot to avoid spilling the beans of her friends secrets, then went on to reveal Spike's in front of a random pony. The real question was, could she trust Twilight to keep this secret? "You know what Twilight, you need to know." Pinkie said. Twilight took another sip of her tea with a worried expression on her face. "If you say so." Said Twilight. Pinkie took in a deep breath. Before Pinkie spoke, Twilight took a small drink of the tea. "I'm in love with Rainbow Dash." At this, Twilight's eyes widened and she barely avoided doing a spit take. "Pinkie Pie, you like mares?" The pink pony just slowly nodded her head. "Well, I can surely see why you wanted Spike out of the room." Twilight jokily. Pinkie Pie smiled. "So you are not mad?" "Mad? Why would I be mad? Pinkie if I learned anything about friendship, it's that you should always be accepting of your friends." Twilight then gave another smile. "Oh thank you Twilight! It's good to know at least four of my friends are accepting." Twilight frowned. "Four? Not all our friends approve?" Pinkie Pie let out a sigh. "It was Applejack, when she found out, she said I should give up on Rainbow Dash." Twilight gasped. "Oh Pinkie thats awful!" Twilight said trying to comfort her. "Tell you what, I will go to Applejack tomorrow and set her straight." "Thanks again Twilight." With that, Pinkie pulled Twilight in a warm, friendly, embrace. She then waved goodbye and left. Just think, thought Pinkie, tomorrow, everything will be better!... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That was such great time with Gilda. Thought Rainbow Dash as she was flying back to Ponyville. I'm pretty sure that right there makes up for an apology. Rainbow Dash saw the outskirts of Ponyville and glided all the way 'til she touched the ground. She gave her wings a shake and then folded them back up. She then walked towards the designated area where she told Pinkie to meet up with her. "Pssh," Came a voice. "Hey you, Rainbow hair!" Rainbow Dash looked around for her insulter with an irritated look. "Where are you?" Rainbow Dash said. "I'll show you what happens when you mess with me!" "Shimmer down hothead." Said another voice. Dash was finally able to pinpoint the voices. It turned out the voices were coming from the garden trio: Daisy, Lily, and Rose. The Rainbow hair remark came from Rose while the hothead remark came from Lily. "Besides calling me names," Rainbow Dash replied, "What do you want?" "We were just wondering how it would be going with you and Pinkie." Responded Daisy. They all started to give little snickers which made Rainbow raise an eyebrow. "You mean you don't know?" Asked Rose. Rainbow Dash gave a frown. "Why? Is there something wrong with Pinkie Pie?" "Not Physically or mentally." Replied Daisy. "I guess its up to you to decide." Rainbow Dash was confused now. What could be wrong with Pinkie? Rainbow Dash thought as she listened to what they had to say... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie was cheerful today. Actually, that would be an understatement of just how happy Pinkie was as she made her way to the park. The park seemed extra busy today; it was full of activity. It took her some time but she finally found Rainbow Dash. She kinda seemed uneasy for some reason but Pinkie didn't worry about it to much. "Hay Dashie!" Pinkie exclaimed. Rainbow Dash looked over at Pinkie. "Oh...hi Pinkie." Rainbow Dash replied. Pinkie frowned. "Don't tell me you are ditching me again." Rainbow Dash smiled. "Heh, you know I always keep my promises Pinkie." A couple ponies started snickering. Rainbow's smile faded. Pinkie raised an eyebrow, but then decided to go with the day. "So, what's this super awesome prank you got set up this time?" Rainbow Dash revealed a book that was behind her. The tittle on the book was called, The Ultimate Pranks: For Pranking Experts. "The Daring Doo series has got me interested in other books as well." Said Rainbow Dash. "So I decided to look around Twilight's library and came across this bad boy." Rainbow was trying hard not to get to intimidated by some of the other ponies looking at her and Pinkie. "Sounds like fun, lets do this!..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the beginning of the night and Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were laughing all the way back to Sugercube corner. "Do you remember that time," Laughed Rainbow Dash, "when Lyra and Bon-bon were chasing us? "Or that time," Pinkie laughed, "when that one pony had milk shot out of his nose?" "Yeah, I can't believe I was worried about those rumors concerning you." Pinkie stopped and went wide-eyed. "...Rumors." Rainbow Dash froze. "Oh Celestia..." The ponies that were still awake and up about were gathering 'round. "Yeah, I heard something interesting about you two." Said a bystander pony. "I heard you two were fillyfoolers." Said another bystander with a snicker. Rainbow Dash got mad. "For your information," Rainbow began. "The rumors are not true, and we are not fillyfoolers, right Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow Dash turned to face Pinkie who was inching backwards while looking towards the ground. "Right, Pinkie?" "See, even if Rainbow Dash isn't one, Pinkie sure is." Said yet another bystander. "She is probably in love with her." Rainbow started panic. "S-stop it!" Began Rainbow Dash. "Stop torturing Pinkie Pie and let her go." Rainbow then faced Pinkie again. "C'mon Pinkie you don't love me do you? Tell them the truth." Pinkie wanted to scream. She was surrounded by ponies making fun of her. She couldn't take it anymore. "The truth is," Began Pinkie, "I do...I do love Rainbow Dash..."
