They gunna sell us!

“Ask the strange man pulling cage for directions, you sead. He seems nice you, you sead”

“Oh, dashie. It’s not all that bad.”

“Pinkie, we are being sold as slaves in a strange country. HOW COULD IT GET WORSE!?!”

“Well, at least we're together” the pink pony smiled widely as the cage bumped along on the dirt and gravel road. Her smile faded into a look of hurt when dash grumbled a few words and turned away, obviously disagreeing that being together was a good thing.

The sun hung bright in the mid day brightly illuminating the yellow and orange desert sand. Miles of nothing but vast emptiness stood before the travelers as they trekked through the nothingness. The cage was being driven by a gray muscular pony with dirty black hair covering his eyes. Three ponies were behind the carriage following closely, all garbed in fluent black cloth that covered their entire bodies save the eyes.

The cage was made of thick iron, and a sign was loosely cast onto the center of the cage that read “slaves for sale: 300 bits “ A giant water dispenser like you would normally see on a hamster's cage was attached to the cage, poking its mettle arm into the enclosure to allow the ponies to drink from the degrading contraption. The floor was lined with dead grass and sand to cushion the prisoners, in the same way that you would cushion an animal at the zoo.

The two captives sat at separate ends of the cage. Rainbow sat and stared out at the empty sandy tarane before her while pinkie stared at dash, hurt that dash refused to talk to her.

“I just thought that he might have known the way.”

“Ya, well congratulations, pinkie! Now we will probably be sold off as sex slaves or something in the middle of fucking nowhere, and we may never see ponyville ever again. Good job. Want an award for your outstanding achievement?” Rainbow burst at her pink friend, venting rage that had been building in her since she got thrown into the cage.

“I just... I-I’m sorry”

“Just shut up. Seriously.”

A tear dropped from pinkies sea blue eyes. Her hair deflated and turned strate.

The whole mess started when Pinkie had decided to throw dash a party over at suggercube corner. The cap they had taken went lost trying to get there, and when they couldn't produce a proper fee for the cap, they were marooned in the middle of the desert.

Rainbow Dash glanced at pinkie, and saw that she was still looking at dash with tears swelling up in her eyes. Dash walked slowly over to the giant hamster bottle and examined it carefully. There was no dignified way to drink from it. She would have to bend down and suckle on it like a filly drinking from a bottle. The cyan pegasuses pride was already hurting at being locked in the cage like a zoo attraction.

She bent down so that her front hooves were laying flat on the ground at ninety degree angles with her flank high in the air. She nervously cast glances to the ponies in black garb who were watching her with what seemed to be lack of interest. Their expression could not be easily read through the black cloth masks. She then looked at Pinkie and saw that the pony was laying down with tears flowing and small subtle whimpers emanating from her mouth, still staring at Rainbow Dash.

She felt uncomfortable with her pink companion watching her so intently as she was drinking like an animal.

“Can you, like, look away or something? You're starting to creep me out”

Without a word, the pink pony pivoted her head away from her, long glossy straight hair tossed to the side as her head moved. Rainbow Dash proceed to drink, when finished she walked back to her corner and stared out of the care at the fastly moving aria.

“hay Dashie?”

“What?”

“I'm still sorry. I’ll make it up to you. I promise I will somehow”

The rainbow pegasus felt a pang of guilt for making pinkie so desperately ashamed. She was mad at the situation, but not necessary at Pinkie. The desperation in the pink pony’s voice was almost tangible. She never wanted to hurt Pinkie.

“Uhm, yah. It’s fine. I'm sorry for lashing out at you like that. I just frustrated, that's all.”

“But you're right, it is all my fault. I'm just so.... sorry.”

“hay,” Rainbow Dash walked over to her, and smiled softly at her “It’s all gonna be okay.”

Pinkie smiled tenderly back at her. The twinkle in her eyes sent a shudder down Dash’s spine. Not a bad shutter, but a good one. Like her heart had skipped a beat.

The cage was driven off to the side into a littlke village. Rusty shakes lay scattered across this corner of the desert. Rainbow Dash cast a glance at Pinkie in confusion. One of the black garbed men started to set up an umbrela that he would use as shade while another grabed a cooler and pulled a few beer bottles out and tossed them to his confederates. The third pony begen to shout out to the vilige:

“Slaves!! slaves!! get your fresh slaves hear. 300 bits”

“Hay who the hel are you anyways?” dash shouted at the sailspony.

“Why, you don't recognise me? Ha! I should have known.”

The pony pulled the cloth down from his face. Another pony did the same.

In unison, they sang:

“We're the world famous flim flam brothers; traveling sailponys!!!”

“I should have guessed...” Dash went and sat by pinkie. Ponies were notw starting to come out of tthere shacks and gather around the cage. Rainbow Dash never felt more humiliated in her life. Pinkie gentaly nuzzled her side.

“It’s okay dashie, well find a way out of this.”

She felt like arguing with Pinkie, but she decided to just let it be. Random shouts were eminating from the small crowd gathered around the captives:

“I want the pink one”

“The Rainbow one looks like he could work hard”

“Yah, I want him. He looks athletic. He could mow my lawn for me.”

“Defanatly. He could do heavy lifting.”

“the pink one looks sexy.”

Rainbow Dash lacked the will to argue with them and clarified that she is not a stallion. Besides, she figured that if they thought she was a stallion, chances of her being sold as some sort of sex slave were far less. Rainbow dash felt her heart sink into her chest when she glanced at Pinkie Pie. The pink mare was indeed very attractive. And Rainbow Dash feared that she knew exactly what would happen to Pinkie when she gets sold off.

In that moment, she decided that wherever she is sent to, she would escape, find Pinkie Pie, and escape together back to equestria.


Pinkie smiled sadly at Dash. The hopelessness of the situation tugged at Dash’s heart. Pinkie leaned in and laid snuggled up next to the multi colored pegasus, drawing comfort from knowing that she was in the presence of somepony that cared for her.

Dash leaned over, ignoring the shouting crowd as if it wasn’t there, and gave Pinkie Pie a gentle kiss on the forehead. She looked up with big blue eyes that sparkled under the sun, and a bright hopeful smile on her face.

“No matter what, pinkie,” dash spoke softly into her companions ear “I’ll break looses, and I will find you. We can run back to Equestria. We’ll get outa this.”

“I love you, Rainbow dash.”

“I love you too Pinkie Pie.”
