Catching A Rainbow
Pinkamena opened her eyes and stared up at her ceiling. Her eyes scanned the entire ceiling until she noticed a crack. Getting up on her hooves, she stood on the bed and stared at the crack, noticing that it was a bit large and would most likely let in rain.
She was currently standing on her bed in her room at Sugarcube Corner. The Cakes had turned the top floor guest room into her room when she started working there.
Letting out a sigh, she hopped off her bed and left her room, heading down the hallway towards the stairs. Once there, she headed down with a few grunts of annoyance before ending up in the main room. Passing the kitchen, she made her way to the basement door and opened it.
The whole place was filled with silence as this mare was the only one around. Upon opening the door, she made her way down the stairs towards the basement. Getting to the bottom, she scanned the room, her eyes passing a metal table and landing on a wooden door.
On the table was a green mare with a short red mane and tail, tears running down her cheek. "P-Please, let me go..." she whimpered.
Pinkamena ignored her and casually trotted passed her, heading to the wooden door.
"P-Please..." the green mare whimpered again.
The pink mare let out a groan as she placed her hoof on the door, before...
"I-I won't tell anypony... I-I promise..." J-Just let me--"
"Go?" Pinkamena interrupted, turning away from the door and trotting over to the table, looking down at the mare. "You know I put up with your shit... all last night..." she groaned, leaning in. "And, now, it's morning... I have work to do... And I would really appreciate it... if you would shut up," she growled harshly, making the mare whimper more.
"I-I-I'm sorry..." the mare whimpered.
"Better," Pinks replied with a smile before leaning in more and kissing her forehead. "After all... it'd be a shame to kill such a wonderful toy."
The mare whimpered more, turning her head to the side as Pinkamena leaned in and slowly licked her cheek. Afterwards, she pulled away and chuckled, watching the mare's discomfort.
"You are a tasty one..." the pink mare cooed before turning and trotting back to the door. "Now, if you don't mind... I have a ceiling to fix..." she said, before opening the door. When she did, a pile of bones and pony skulls fell out and scattered across the floor. The pink mare stared at them, watching them fall all over the floor. After hesitating for about minute, she finally spoke. "Well, shit."
The pink mare hammered the last nail into the board, covering the hole in the ceiling. "There... Not perfect, but it'll do..."
She then hopped off the ladder before hearing a noise from outside. Moving to the window, she looked out to see Rainbow Dash talking to Scootaloo. There was kicked up dirt behind the pegasus implying that she came in for a landing rather quickly.
"Rainbow Dash..." Pinks said calmly, turning away from the window and trotting out into the hall. Thinking for a moment, she smirked. "She'd be fun to play with... I mean... Scoots seems to enjoy her company..." She eyed her bedroom window before trotting down the hall, down the stairs, and out the door.
Scanning the area, she couldn't find Rainbow Dash but Scootaloo was preparing to scoot off, as she does.
"Hey," Pinks said, trotting towards her.
The filly eyed her before smiling. "Oh, Pinkie. Hey." She then tilted her head. "Why's your mane straight?"
"Huh?" Asked the mare, realizing she forgot to poof it up. "Um... Wanted to try a new look?"
Scootaloo raised an eyebrow, seemingly not buying it.
Pinks eyes narrowed as she looked unamused. "What, not random enough for ya?"
"No, I just--" the filly began before getting cut off.
"Anyways, where's Rainbow Dash?" The pink mare asked, looking around.
"Dashie? Oh, she went to that field she always goes to so she can train for the Wonderbolts."
"Uh-huh..." the pink mare said, before turning and trotting back towards Sugarcube Corner so she could fix her mane.
Scootaloo watched her leave, a little weirded out by the conversation. She ended up shrugging it off before tightening her helmet.
The pink mare trotted down to the basement and over to the green mare, smiling. "Looks like you'll have a new playmate," she cooed as she flipped a switch under the table, making it flip up 90-degrees.
The mare gasped as she looked around, watching the room become right side up. "H-Huh?" She asked, not really listening to the question.
"I said..." Pinks began, stepping up to her. "You'll have a new playmate soon... One of my friends, actually. You'll love her to pieces... Oh, she's so much fun..." The green mare kept sniffling as she listened to the mare talk and talk. "We'll play so many fun games... Maybe some dress-up... What do ya think?"
The mare sniffled again before nodding. "S-S-Sounds f-fun..."
Pinkamena smiled and got up on her hind legs before nuzzling the mare's belly. "Good girl... Now, you understand how important it is to keep me happy, yes?" The mare nodded quickly, lip trembling from fright. The pink mare smiled before kissing her belly. "Good girl," she cooed, before kissing lower and lower...
The pink mare left the bakery with her mane poofed up, trotting off to find the field where Rainbow Dash was training. Along the way, she passed by Twilight. The unicorn was on her way back to her Library, a book floating in front of her face, when the two of them almost walked into each other.
"Oh!" Twilight gasped, taking a step back. "Oh, Pinkie. Sorry, I didn't see you there."
The pink mare smiled happily. "It's okay, Twilight. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing..." the purple mare said as she closed her book. "It's just that Celestia has gone away to visit Saddle Arabia... and told me that when she got back she planned on having a tea party and invited me... I've just never been to one before..."
"So, what's the book?" Asked Pinks. "Tea Parties for Eggheads?"
"What?" Twilight gasped. "No... Tea Party for Dummies."
The pink mare raised an eyebrow. "That sounds worse, Twilight."
"Yeah, I know..." the unicorn replied with a frown.
Pinkamena then hopped up and down. "Well, I should get going, Twilight. Have fun at the tea party," she said as she hopped away.
Twilight watched her leave before shrugging and trotting over to the Golden Oaks Library. Once there, she opened the door and let out a surprised yell when she saw Pinkie standing there.
"Say, Twilight. When do you think Celestia will be back?"
Twi took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. "Uh... I don't know... I think she wanted to visit somewhere else after Saddle Arabia..."
"Oh," Pinks said, before skipping out of the Library. "See ya, Twilight!"
"See ya..." the purple mare said, confused by what happened.
Pinkamena trotted into a large field where Rainbow Dash usually practices her moves and, lo and behold, there she was. The pink mare smiled as she watched the unsuspecting mare fly around in the sky. It wasn't long before Dash spotted her and swooped down, hovering in front of her.
"Hey, Pinkie," she greeted. "What's up?"
"Well, besides you, I have something planned later this week and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me taste test a few things."
Dash let out a chuckle as she landed. "Taste test? Of course I'll help." Her eyes then narrowed. "I won't get fat from this, will I?"
"Oh, quite the opposite," the pink mare replied with a light laugh.
"Huh?" Asked Dash, being third pony Pinkie's managed to confuse today.
"Nothing!" The pink mare yelled, dashing off.
The cyan mare blinked a few times before turning around. She then felt a hoof on her shoulder, making her jump. While in mid-air, she spread her wings and spun around to face the pink mare once more.
"So, you are coming, right?" Pinks asked. Rainbow gave her a light smile and nodded. "Great!" the party pony cheered before skipping away.
"That is one weird pony..." she muttered, before taking off.
That Night...
Rainbow Dash entered Sugarcube Corner and was instantly greeted by Pinkie.
"Dashie!" She cheered. "You made it!"
"Of... course I did..." Rainbow said with a smile. "So, where's the food?" She asked, looking around.
"This way," Pinks sang before bouncing into the kitchen.
Dash tilted her head as she followed her into the kitchen, spotting a plate of cupcakes on the table.
"You said I wouldn't get fat from this," the cyan mare reminded with a raised eyebrow.
The pink mare let out a laugh. "Oh, Dashie... All you gotta do is eat one... You won't get fat from just one will ya?"
Rainbow bit her lip before trotting up to the table. "I suppose not," she said before picking one up and taking a bite out of it.
The pink mare watched her with a smile. "Well?"
Dash chewed up what was in her mouth and swallowed. "Mmm... Those are really good, Pinkie Pie," she answered with a smile.
"Well, I'm glad you like them... There's a special ingredient..."
"What is it?" Asked Dash, loving to know secrets.
Pinks smirked. "I'm sure you'll figure it out..."
"Huh?" The cyan mare said before looking around. "But, it's hard to say... You have so much stuff..."
"Yes, but only one is the special ingredient..."
Rainbow stood there, puzzled. "I have no id..." she started to say before feeling woozy. "Oh, my head..."
"Something wrong, Dashie?" Pinks asked, sounding concerned.
The cyan mare wobbled a little bit as she held her head. "Oh, wow... I feel so... so dizz..." she said before collapsing.
Pinks watched her drop before smirking. "I think you flew to fast, Dashie..." she said as she trotted over to her, before leaning in. "But, don't worry..." she cooed, stroking Rainbow's mane. "You'll be nice and comfy soon... And, then..." she continued, kissing Dash's cheek. "...we can play..."
