The cupcakes were in the oven, baking merrily away. The three friends were sitting in chairs, waiting. Pinkie decided that this was the time to ask.
“So.” She said. “I noticed that you two are in a... fight?”
“Pinkie.” Twilight murmered.
Rainbow flamed bright red with emberassment.
“Rainbow dash was just wondering If I... wanted to run a race with her.” Twilight hesitatingly said.
Rainbow nodded and went along.
“A really big one. With... jumps...” She agreed.
“And I said no, because I was already running one with someone.” Twilight finished.
Her heart stuttered. Her breath stopped. Her wings stopped fanning herself.
Rainbow looked at twilight, who was staring at the ground with an expressionless face.
Already running a race? With who? Did that mean...
Rainbow couldnt stand it.
“Pinkie.. I have to go.” She murmured. She was crying again.
Come on dashie, your such a crybaby.
But she couldnt help it. She flew out the window.
Twilight sighed. At least she had told her.
“Oh, my. I guess dashie was really sad you couldnt... run the race with her.” The two ponies in the room knew that it wasnt a race. But pinkie was a kind pony. She left it at that.
Rainbow flew back home to cry on her already tear-stained pillow. She threw the box of cookies out of her window.
Twilight already has a special somepony??? How come I have no idea? Is it a mare? Is it a stallion? I am soooo emberassed.
She would have to go to the party. She would go there, give Aj a present and tehn leave. Yeah. Thats what would happen.
Rainbow resorted to wrapping Aj's gift. She concentrated on not getting any tears on the decorated paper. She didint do very well.
Back at sugarcube corner, The oven dingged.
“Done!” Pinkie announced. “You can go ahead to the party. Ill take them out and ice them.”
Twilight nodded. She trotted out the door to the place where Aj's party was. There was no one there exept Rainbow Dash. She had come early.
They stood in silence for a while, nopony still arived.
“So.” Dash broke the silence. “Who's in the race with you?” She mumbled like she didint care.
“Are you sure you wa-”
“Of course I want to know. Your the... the love of my life. I really want to know.”
Twilight took a breath in.
“Pinkie pie.” She whispered.
“Pinkie pie?” Rainbow practiacally screamed. She set her gift down. “Pinkie pie? Youre in love with her? I BET SHE CANT EVEN COUNT TO TEN!”
Rainbow was furious. Pinkie pie?
“Your sepnding your life with HER? All she does is make cupcakes... and muffins! I bet she dosent even love you.”
Rainbow heard a sniffle. It didint come from twilight. Out of the shadow stepped pinkie. Her eyes were redder than usual. She had been crying.
Twilight ran to pinkie.
“Oh my gosh are you okay?” She kissed away the tears on pinkie's face. Pinkie sniffed, the smiled and looked up.
“Um.. yeah. Will you help me wash up? I dont want to look like this for AJ's party.” Pinkie asked twilight.
“Dont worry, Aj's party wont mind how you look.” Twilight giggled and walked with her to the bathroom.
Rainbow was watching the whole time, speechless. She didint even know how to feel. Millions of things were swirling inside of her.
Pinkie pie? How could she? Oh, wait I yelled at her. Im sorry. Wait, no im not. She took my sould mate! What do I do? I feel like apologizing a million times, and killing her.
She slowly backed away. The turned and bolted out the door.
