> A Cupcake In My Heart > by ShadyAwesomeness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Only Chapter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If there's one thing that Rainbow Dash hates more than being bored is being lonely. Whether her friends are either busy or just simply don't have time to hang out with her, she knows that there is no excuse of denying it. With Twlight and Applejack attending one of Princess Celestia's royal summits in Canterlot while Rarity and Fluttershy enjoying their afternoon spa, she's been pretty much alone all day. Even Pinkie Pie busy taking over Sugarcube Corner while the Cakes are on a business trip. Speaking of which, where is Pinkie Pie? Besides the rest of her friends, Pinkie Pie was the only pony Rainbow Dash have seen for the past few days. She could remember her telling her friends that she'll be busy for a couple of days but never told them why. Sure she's got a job to do since many ponies here in Ponyville have jobs too. But ironically, Rainbow Dash knows that Pinkie Pie would always find ways to see her friends including her. But this time it was something different. "Maybe I should check on her just in case." Rainbow Dash said to herself. She then makes her way towards Sugarcube Corner hoping to find her there. ***** "Pinkie, are you home?" Rainbow Dash called out for the umpteenth time. It's been a few minutes since Rainbow Dash arrived at Sugarcube Corner and has been knocking on the door for past five minutes. "Pinkie I know your in there, please open up!" Rainbow Dash cried out. There was still no response. Before she would knock again, she tried to turn the doorknob to see if the wasn't locked. To her surprised, it was unlocked. She slowly made her way inside closing the door behind her. "Pinkie, are you in here?" Rainbow Dash called out. Again there was still no response. Starting to become worried, Rainbow Dash quickly dashed herself upstairs to Pinkie's bedroom. As she made in inside, she finds Pinkie's bedroom completely empty. She slowly made her way inside the room and noticed that her bed was empty. "Ugh, where is that pony?" muttered Rainbow Dash. CRASH! Out of nowhere, a loud crash was heard that made Rainbow Dash jump. "What the hay was that?" Rainbow Dash said. She quickly trot her downstairs to investigate the mysterious crash. As she made her downstairs, she sees room is still empty. She then walked towards the kitchen and notice the basement door opened. Out of curiosity, she quickly made her down the basement to see if anypony was there. The basement was so dark that it made it hard for Rainbow Dash to look. She tried to shift herself to the wall to see if she could find the light switch. "Who's there!" cried out a soft voice. Rainbow Dash quickly turned her head around recognizing the voice. "Pinkie, is that you?" she asked out. "Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I think the better question is what are you doing down here?" Rainbow Dash asked in a shocked manner. "Go away." Pinkie Pie said softly. "Pinkie what's going on?" asked Rainbow Dash while trying to find the light switch. "N-Nothing, just please, leave me alone." Pinkie Pie said starting to sob. "Pinkie, are you crying." asked Rainbow Dash worried. "N-No, I'm fine, I-I uh." Pinkie Pie said as she struggled to talk. Not wanting to listen to her cry, Rainbow Dash soon found the light switch. She then turned the lights on that quickly light the room up. She then turned around and to her surprise gasped in horror. Pinkie Pie, lying on the floor with both of her hooves covering her face. Her mane was completely deflated and her entire coat looked lifeless. Never have Rainbow Dash seen something so heart wrenching. "Pinkie, are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I s-said I'm f-fine Dashie, j-just leave me a-alone." Pinkie Pie said tears streaming down her face. Rainbow Dash could tell that something wasn't right. In fact it was pretty obvious that something isn't right. Never in her life have she seen Pinkie this sad. "No Pinkie." said Rainbow Dash firmly. She slowly trot towards Pinkie and sat beside her. She grabbed her waist pulling her closer allowing her to cry onto her coat. Pinkie Pie could only hug tightly onto Rainbow Dash's chest sobbing out of her own life. "Pinkie, tell me what's wrong." said Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie couldn't respond but instead kept on weeping into Rainbow Dash's chest. Never has Rainbow Dash seen anypony, especially Pinkie cry like this. Is as if something died inside her. Pinkie was always so cheerful, happy, excited and always kept a big smile on her face. But now she looks nothing but a lifeless pony. "Rainbow, I- I'm s-sorry." Pinkie Pie said tears still streaming down her cheeks and onto Rainbow Dash's hooves. "Why are you apologizing Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash asked. She then used one of her hooves to wipe away Pinkie's tears. Pinkie was to hesitant to even speak. She looks up to see Rainbow Dash looking down at her smiling softly. "Pinkie are you okay?" she asked softly. "No, no I'm not okay Dashie." Pinkie said. She then let go of Rainbow Dash's embrace and looked down at the ground with shameless sigh. "Is it okay if you tell me what's wrong." said Rainbow Dash. "If I told you, y-you wouldn't understand." Pinkie said softly. "That what I wouldn't understand Pinkie?" asked Rainbow Dash. Pinkie didn't say anything as she continues to look at the ground in shame. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but notice that Pinkie is hiding something from her. She doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, but she needs to know what's going on. "Pinkie tell me what's wrong." Rainbow Dash said. "I may not understand on what your trying to say, but I need to know what's going." Pinkie then turned her head around and could Rainbow Dash still smiling at her softly. "It's now or never Pinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie thought to herself. Yet I'm scared on how she'll think of me, but I'm sure she'll understand. "Rainbow, do you like me?" Pinkie Pie asked softly. "Of course I like you Pinkie." Rainbow Dash said. "Why wouldn't I like a friend that is so-" "I didn't mean that." Pinkie Pie said interrupting Rainbow Dash. "I mean, do you like-like me?" The whole room went silence as Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in surprised. Did she just heard her correctly? Is she serious? "Pinkie, d-did you just say-" "Yes Rainbow Dash, I really like you." said Pinkie Pie looking towards Rainbow's eyes. "No wait, I love you! I love you more than anything else. You've been my super duper best friend forever and that I never though about having a friend who is loyal to her friends! But ever since I started seeing you different, I can't imagine you leaving me on how I feel about you!" You mean everything to me Dashie! Your just like super delicious chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles on top!" I love you Rainbow Dash! I love you more than anything else!" As soon as she was finished, she then breaks down sobbing while covering her eyes with her hooves. Rainbow Dash couldn't believe what she was hearing. Pinkie Pie, out of all ponies that she's met before, has a crush on her. The pony who's smile would make other ponies days happy and bright. The pony who gives out the best parties than anypony else. The pony who is the element of laughter and has served along with her friends in adventures across Equestria. Pinkie Pie has a crush on her. Rainbow Dash then looked down at the pink haired pony whom is lying on the floor crying silently. She then gently puts a hoof on Pinkie's back trying to comfort her. "Shhh, it's okay Pinkie, it's alright." Rainbow Dash says as she slowly rubs Pinkie's back. Pinkie then looked up to see Rainbow Dash smiling down at her. "Rainbow, y-your not m-mad?" Pinkie asked as she felt one of her hooves being held by Rainbow Dash's. "Why would be mad Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I told you how I feel about you, and your not yelling at me." Pinkie said as she wipes her tears. Rainbow Dash could only chuckle as she pulled Pinkie closer to her chest. "Pinkie, you've been my best friend ever since I moved here in Ponyville. You and I going on crazy adventures together, defeating Nightmare Moon, pulling off awesome pranks to our friends and always helping each other." Believe when I say this, I never thought about being friends with a pony who is smart, charming, caring, nice and cute." "Wait, did you say cute?" Pinkie Pie asked her eyes widened in surprise. Rainbow Dash could only blush as she try's to cover her face. But she has to admit, Pinkie is kinda cute. Her cute blue eyes, her big puff mane, that cute smile on her face. Everything about her is beautiful. "Oh sweet Celestia what's wrong with me!" Rainbow Dash thought as she once again looks down at Pinkie who's eyes are completely bloodshot. "Listen Pinkie, are you going to be busy for the whole day?" asked Rainbow Dash. "No, I completed all of my orders and delivered all the cakes, why? asked Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash didn't say anything as she wraps Pinkie from her back and pulling her into a small kiss. Pinkie was caught off guard for a second before melting into Rainbow's lips. Rainbow Dash never thought of Pinkie's lips were so sweet. Sweeter than candy. Sweeter than any cupcake she has made. As much as they want this to last longer, they quickly pull away gasping for air. Pinkie was shocked on what just happened. Rainbow Dash, the pony who she has a crush on for months has kissed her. She never thought this would ever happen. Before she could say anything, Rainbow Dash then spoke up. "Say Pinkie, since you said you don't have anymore chores to do, why don't you and I have a small party here. Just for us." Then something happened that made Rainbow smile. Pinkie's entire mane sprung back to life and her smile appeared on her lips again. "AHH! I love you so much Rainbow Dash!" "Hehe, I love you too Pinkie Pie."
