Pinky bounced along happily, the usual spring in her step as she passed the various goings-on. She paused when she saw Red Gala and the apple stall.
"HIYA MACKY!"
"Pinkie!" Red Gala hissed.
"Oops, sorry." Pinkie said sheepishly. "Forgot about the secret identity."
Red Gala sighed. "It's fine."
"Aww, why so glum?" The party mare asked.
"I'm a mare." The apple farmer said flatly.
"I know, isn't it awesome?"
"Awesome?"
"This is a once in lifetime opportunity, getting to see things from the other side." Pinky explained. "I've always wondered what it would be like to be a stallion. I mean, you're usually taller so I bet you can see further, you're stronger too so I bet you can carry twice as many cupcakes, though does it feel weird walking when you've got a--"
"PINKIE!"
"Come on Red, the effects will wear off eventually so make the most of it. There must be something you were curious about doing if you became a mare."
Red Gala suddenly avoided eye contact. "Nope."
"OH THERE IS!" Pinkie cried out excitably.
"Drop it." The red mare growled in warning.
"Oh come on," the baker persuaded. "Tell Auntie Pinkie all about it."
Red Gala was resistant for about 30 seconds before she let out a frustrated groan. Even as a mare, it was down right impossible to say no to Pinkie. She gestured for the party mare to come closer and then whispered into her ear. Pinkie's eyes widened and her jaw opened slightly.
The farmer sighed at the reaction she had received. "Yeah I know, it's..."
She was interrupted by Pinkie getting right in her face. "Let's do it."
"What?"
"Oh no, you can't tell me something this juicy and not expect me to want to make it happen." Pinkie said firmly. "We are doing this and it is going to be good."
Red Gala could only gulp.
"Alright, we're going to start this off nice and easy." Red Gala kept her voice low and sensual. "Then, we're gonna do the finish nice and rough."
She then took a step closer to the microphone.
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
She gently swayed her hips. The golden form fitting dress she was wearing sparkled as the light hit it from different angles.
I left a good job in the city
Working for the mare every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Red Gala was then joined by her backup singers, the spa twins Lotus and Aloe, both dressed in matching white dresses.
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Berry keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
The three mares were on the stage in the Town hall in front of a packed crowd. Pinkie and Rarity were in the front row, admiring their handiwork.
"Just as I told you," the fashionista said to the party pony. "Fabulous."
Cleaned a lot of plates in Manephis
Sold a lot of pies down in Neigh Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Berry keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
The river
The river
The river
The three mares then gave a twirl as the music picked up in tempo.
I left a good job in the city
Working for the mare every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Berry keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
The audience cheered wildly which encouraged Red Gala to go harder.
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some ponies who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
Ponies on the river are happy to give
By this point the whole audience was joining in as well.
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Berry keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
We're oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ba ba ba! Ba ba ba! Ba ba ba!
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba!
"Thank you, Ponyville." Red Gala exclaimed enthusiastically. "Thank you and good night!"
She then bowed to thunderous applause.
