> Club Mile High > by Candyman > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under a clear sky Pinkie, Spike and Twi Happened to walk by Two talking pegasi They couldn't help but hear From their friend so dear Rainbow Dash being near Laughing at her peer Between giggles and snorts Cutting words off short About something to try To join a club mile high The other pegasi Looked and did spy Pinkie, Spike and Twi Then took to the sky Dash turned to see Eyes of curiosity Then blushed deeply Too late to flee “What is this club, can we join too?” Asked Pinkie, bouncing like a fool “I know, let's go get all the others Then we can all join the club together!” Dash stared in shock Immobile like a rock Jaw hanging slack Words she did lack Dash shook to clear her head Realizing what Pinkie said Meant she didn't have a clue What she was asking to do Rainbow Dash took to wing “It's sort of a pegasus thing To join the club mile high You have to be able to fly.” "We'll show those silly Pegasi!" Said a determined Pinkie Pie "We'll join their club mile high, Let's go find Fluttershy!" "Oh my, why?" Querried Twi "Do we need Fluttershy?" But Twi was too slow Pinkie did go Leaving Twi and Spike to follow At Fluttershy's home They found she didn't know What the club was about. Seems she had been left out Determined not to fail Pinkie lead them by the tail Ignoring everyone's wail In the air they would sail! "What's the big deal?" Applejack appealed "Besides can't you see I need to buck this tree" But Pinkie Pie would not be swayed Grabbed AJ and away she made With friends in tow back to town To the maker of many a fine gown “No, I can’t. Absolutely not. Dresses I must make a lot!” Rarity said while in a trot A large commission had her fraught “Besides Fluttershy We can not fly Just let slide by This club mile high” “You silly fillies, don’t you see? We can break this club’s exclusivity Don’t you worry, I have a plan!” Pinkie Pie grabbed her friends and ran “Wait, Pinkie! Stop! Let this matter drop!” Her friends all pleaded But they went unheeded. “One mile is not that high We can do it if we try” Pinkie Pie did almost croon “All we need is your balloon!” “The balloon? Are you crazy?” Twi said hastily “The balloon doesn’t belong to me It’s the Princess’ property” “We won’t hurt it, don’t you fret, We’ll be back before the sunset” Pinkie dumped her friends in the basket Untied the ropes and up they went The ponies sighed and relented The balloon rose and ascended Pinkie placed Spike in the chair above Then gave the dragon a shove. “Higher! Higher! We need more fire! Breath and exhale Or I’ll bite your tail!” Later, lounging in a tree Dash woke from a nap so sleepy Ponies below were talking Looking up and gawking Dash flew down and followed their gaze But was hard to see through sleepy haze. She covered her mouth and stifled a yawn, Then asked what was going on. “Rainbow Dash, I am surprised I thought you’d be with your friends in the sky They took balloon up, up to fly Said something about a club mile high.” “They’re up high? In the sky? With Fluttershy? I must fly!” Upwards in a panic the pegasus zoomed Behind her almost Sonic Rainboomed. Near the balloon she heard a chorus Of whoops and hollers and other raised voices Fearing the worst, Dash covered her eyes What she heard was enough surprise “I can’t believe they did it.” She said aloud She wanted only to hide in a cloud. “Dashie, I see you, you can’t hide!” Yelled a joyous Pinkie Pie. “No more are you pegasai, Exclusive to club mile high!” “Hey, Dash, why don’t you join us?” Spike invited the pegasus. “It’ll be tight, but we got room For one more in this balloon” Spike was there too? This was too much! Then she felt hooves upon her clutch Pulled into the gondola basket Where they were making a terrible racket No point fighting, she opened her eyes And stared at them in wild surprise Not at all what she expected to see It was just a Pinkie Pie style party Dash couldn’t help it, she started laughing Her friends’ ignorance was just astounding Clearly they had no idea just why They really had not joined club mile high They were confused by Dash’s unusual laughter. “Are you alright, is something the matter?” They wondered about Dash’s strange behavior To which she replied, “I’ll tell you all later” Image from http://nintendo-moose.deviantart.com/
