	Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash managed to return to the bakery without further incidents. The two mares quietly sneaked  in through the back door of Sugar cube Corner. Pinkie Pie lead Rainbow Dash up the stairs and quickly shuffled her new pet into her bedroom. 
“Can I take this thing off yet?” Rainbow Dash asked in irritation as she pulled at her collar with her teeth.
“No silly, it’s play time!” Pinkie Pie announced as she plunged her head into a brown bag. When Pinkie Pie drew her head from the bag, she had a small chew toy in her mouth. “eady rainbow ash?” Pinkie asked from behind clenched teeth. 
“Ready for what?” Rainbow Dash asked quizzically. Pinkie Pie threw her head to the side and launched the ball across the room.
“Go get it my little Dashie!” Pinkie Pie said in a playful manner.
“You have got to be kidding me,” Rainbow Dash said with a scowl. Pinkie Pie shook her head.
“Nope, that's what pets do Dashie, and until then end of the week you have to do whatever I say, so for the week you will be my pet.” Pinkie said matter- of- factly. “So...fetch!”
“Fine,” Rainbow Dash said with a glare as she walked over to the ball and picked the round object up with her teeth. Rainbow Dash walked over to Pinkie Pie and dropped the ball in front of the pink mare. 
“Yay!Good job Dashie,” Pinkie Pie said as she began to pat the top of head. Rainbow Dash growled at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie ignored the Pegasus's protest and picked the ball up to throw again. 
The two mares spent several minutes of repeating the process of throwing the ball, retrieving, head petting, and growling. 
“It’s tummy time!” Pinkie Pie declared gleefully. Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow in confusion.
“Tummy time?” Rainbow Dash asked in confusion and slight anger.
“Yeah! You lay down on your back and I’ll rub your tummy!” Pinkie Pie said gleefully. 
“No way! That is sooo not cool!” Rainbow said as she turned her back to the pink mare.
“Rainbow Dash,” Pinkie said in a scolding tone. “ You have to do what I say for the week, now please lay down.”
“Fine,” Rainbow Dash said in annoyance as she turned towards the pink mare.  Rainbow Dash laid down on her side. Pinkie Pie knelt down and began to gently rub Rainbow Dash’s stomach in a circular motion. Pinkie Pie rubbed Rainbow Dash’s underside for several minutes, neither mare saying anything. 
“There, that wasn't so bad was it?” Pinkie said with a smile as she looked down at her friend.
“That...actually felt really good. Please don’t stop,” Rainbow Dash requested as her face turned  to a shade of light red. Pinkie Pie began to giggle.
“We can have tummy time after your walk tomorrow, OK Dashie? Now why don’t you go home and rest.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash said as she opened the window and began to fly off.
“Wait! Rainbow Dash! Wait!” Pinkie Pie called out.
“What? What is it?” Rainbow Dash asked in alarm.
“You forgot to take off the collar,” Pinkie said as she pointed at Rainbow’s neck. 
“Oh right, thanks Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash said as she unfastened the collar and threw it to Pinkie Pie.
“See you tomorrow!” Pinkie Pie called after the Pegasus as she flew away.
