//------------------------------// // Untitled Pinkie Story (abandoned fic) // Story: Unimpressive Scraps // by An Unimpressive //------------------------------// Today was going to be a super-duper, fantastic, delicious day! The moment good ol' Ms. Sun lit up my room, I bounced out of bed, landing on the floor with a light thud. “Goooooood morning, Gummy!” I zoomed over and gave my absolute favoritest alligator a big hug. He just yawned, of course, but I knew that was Gummy for “good morning”, so I gave him a little extra hug for being so friendly in the morning. After getting ready for the day, I bounced down the stairs to Sugarcube Corner, which made me remember the time when Rainbow Dash had asked me if I ever fell down stairs. She was such a silly pony; I didn't fall down stairs. The floor decided to meet me early and then be bouncy like a trampoline! A few bounces later, I reached the main floor, where Mr. and Mrs. Cake were already hard at work. They looked busy, so I decided not to bother them. I was just about to leave when I heard a crash upstairs and an “ow.” With a gasp, I knew instantly it could only be Rainbow Dash. In an instant, I was back in my apartment. “Hi, Rainbow Dash! The floor was a trampoline again!” She had knocked down my door again, and was still getting her bearings. “Uhh... Pinkie Pie? Where did you come from?” “Oooh, that's a tough question.” I put a hoof under my chin and thought for a moment, ignoring Rainbow Dash's curious, dazed look. Where had I come from? I guess originally I had come from my mom, but did she mean there or what city or what frame of mind? Dredgemane was a neat place, if you could ignore some of the more grumpy ponies. Of course, I had come from laughter to laughter, so really, I hadn't come from anywhere at all, since I hadn't come from any frame of mind. That must be what she meant. Setting my hoof back down, I bounced in place and said, “I came from right here, silly!” Rainbow Dash blinked a few times. “Um... okay. Sorry about the door, Pinkie Pie.” In a blink, I moved the fifty hooves between us and put my smiling face next to hers. For some reason, this made her uneasy. I widened my grin so much my face started to hurt, but that just made her sweat more. “Aw, it's okay! I'll just fix it like usual!” And I did, moving with terrific speed and nailing the door back up. “Pinkie Pie, where did you get that hammer from?” “What hammer? I don't remember having a hammer,” I said, putting the hammer back in my mane. “Um... right. Anyway, I suppose you're wondering why I'm here?” “Yepperooni!” She got to her hooves. “Well... I was supposed to come over and tell you sooner, but then I had this great idea for a new trick to impress the Wonderbolts with and... well, you know how it goes.” She scratched the back of her neck with a hoof. Whenever ponies explained where they had been when they weren't with me, their necks seemed to get awfully itchy. Maybe everypony was born with some kind of Pinkie Sense. Although, I guess in this case it'd be more Rainbow Sense. Dash Sense? Raindash Sense? I made a mental note to ask Twilight about it later. “Okey-dokey.” Rainbow Dash's expression grew grim as she drew her face into a frown. I resisted the urge to take my hooves and turn it upside-down. “Fluttershy's gone missing.” I cocked my head. “Are you sure she didn't just go visit somepony, or have to help somepony with an animal, or have to help somepony with a song, or have to—“ “Pinkie Pie, she was supposed to come to my house to help me with Tank. Two hours ago.” I gasped, then covered my mouth with my hooves. Now was no time to have my mouth wide open; what if whatever took Fluttershy stole the words from my mouth? I liked words. “What do you think happened?” “I dunno, Pinkie, but it can't be good. Could you help me look for her?” “Sure! I'll ask around, too.” Rainbow Dash nodded, opened the door, and prepared to take off. “Thanks, Pinkie. Oh, would you mind asking Twilight to help to? I figure I've got a better chance of spotting her from the air.” “You got it! One if by wing, two if by magic, and three if by party!” I left.
