//------------------------------// // Post Pre-Party // Story: My Little Caboose: Blue is Magic! // by DarkWing //------------------------------// Everypony left the library after a couple more hours of partying. Tucker and Rainbow started to fly back to her place. "Did you like the party?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I've been to better." Tucker shrugged. "But it was fun." "Pinkie’s parties will grow on you." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe." Tucker said. "So what are we going to do to get those tickets?" "Tickets? Oh, the Wonderbolts. I completely forgot about them." Rainbow Dash admitted. "We still have a couple days until then, we'll just have to try to find some work tomorrow." "What about the party?" Tucker asked. Rainbow Dash looked at the ground and sighed sadly. "It would make Pinkie sad if we didn't show up..." Rainbow Dash said quietly. "So there is what? Four days until the show?" Tucker asked. "That should be enough time with the two of us working to make the money." "Yeah." Rainbow Dash said, starting cheer up. "It will just be extremely hard." "Bow-chika-bow-wow." Tucker said quietly enough so Rainbow Dash didn't hear, but then spoke up. "See, that's the spirit." "I really hope we get to see them." Rainbow Dash said. "And hopefully they will remember me." "Remember you? You've met them? That's pretty cool." "I didn't just meet them." Rainbow Dash said smugly. "I saved their lives." "You saved their lives? Of course they're going to remember you if you fucking saved them." "It wasn't really a question, I was just thinking out loud." "Okay." Tucker said. "Anyways, do you know any place that has a job opening?" "None come to mind. But we can worry about that later. I want to go to bed so I can be well rested for tomorrow." "Maybe we can see if any of your friends have any odd jobs to do or maybe some spare cash." "Maybe." Tucker and Rainbow Dash then arrived back at her place and they went straight to sleep. Rainbow Dash awoke the next morning to find that Tucker wasn't in the bed. She sat up and looked around and couldn't see any sign of him. She rubbed her eyes and opened the bathroom door to take a shower. As she lowered her hooves from her eyes, she saw Tucker stepping out of the shower. Rainbow Dash yelped and slammed the door shut. Tucker chuckled and dried himself up and opened the door. "Do you have any idea how rude it is to come in unannounced?" Tucker asked sarcastically. Rainbow Dash glared at Tucker and he laughed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in there." Rainbow Dash said while blushing. "I didn't mean to walk in on you." "Sure you didn't." Tucker laughed. "I know that you wanted to catch a glimpse of mini-Tuck." "Yeah I totally wanted to be scarred for life." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again." "That's a shame. Alright, so are we going to the party or what?" "Yeah, just give me some time to shower." Rainbow Dash muttered. "And if you need me you better knock." "Are you saying I look like a gentlecolt who doesn't respect privacy?" Tucker asked, smiling sweetly "Bite me." Rainbow Dash grunted. Back at Sugarcube corner Caboose woke up and started to get out of the bed. This woke Pinkie up and she yawned. "Watcha' doing Caboose?" Pinkie said. "It's a secret." Caboose said quietly. "A secret?" Pinkie asked. "I love secrets!" "So do I!" Caboose said happily. Pinkie then jumped off the bed and grabbed Cabooses leg. "Can you tell me the secret?" Pinkie asked. "Pretty please." "I don't know, Sarge told me to not tell anyone that I was going to the farm." Caboose said. "You're going to the farm?" Pinkie asked. "Yes." Caboose gasped. "How did you know? Can you read minds?" "Why are you going to the farm?" Pinkie asked. "Sarge told me that you told him and he told me that you moved the party somewhere else so we were going to go there together." Caboose said. "That is a great idea!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I know, Sarge is nice to walk with me there." Caboose said happily. "No I mean we should move the party to the farm!" Pinkie said. "That would give Fluttershy’s animal friends lots of room to walk around!" "That is an amazing idea!" Caboose said. "I will go tell Sarge!" "Okay. I'll go get the others. And thank Sarge for me, okay?" "Will do Pinkie!" Caboose said. Caboose then went down the stairs and out the door and made his way to the farm. When he got there, Sarge was lying down under a tree with his stetson over his face. "Good morning Sarge." Caboose said, running up to him. "Good morning to you too blue." Sarge said. Sarge took the hat off his face and placed it on his head then stood up. "You look like a cowboy horse!" Caboose exclaimed. "Wait if you're a horse does that mean you ride a cowboy when you play?" Sarge laughed slightly then shook his head. "Alright you ready to go?" "Yes Sarge!" Caboose said, saluting weirdly. "And Pinkie told me to thank you." "Thank me for what?" Sarge asked, confused. "For letting us have the party here." Caboose said happily. "You told her you were coming here?" Sarge asked with a mixture of nervousness and anger. "No I didn't." Caboose said. "She is psychotic." "It's psychic, and no she isn't." Sarge grunted. Caboose looked at the ground and blinked. "I think I told her I was coming here." Caboose said. "I'm sorry Sarge. I didn't mean to ruin the surprise party." "I'll forgive you, I just need you to follow me in to the farm to set up." Sarge said. "Okay." Caboose said as Sarge led Caboose into the barn. "Okay you set up in there, and I'll go make sure nobody ruins the surprise." Sarge said. "Good idea!" Caboose said, running into the barn. Sarge then slammed the door and placed a piece of wood on it, locking Caboose in. "This isn't going to be good..." Sarge muttered.
