Pinkie pie discovers a documentary about the rainbow factory. She gets twilight to use that one spell in "Sonic Rainboom." and take her to cloudsdale to see if it's real. I know it sounds stupid, but just read it.
It was closing time at Sugar cube Corner, and Pinkie Pie was heading upstairs to her room. Her room was supplied by the Cakes. Pinkie originally had no home of her own. But her energetic and friendly attitude had gained her lots of friends. And seeing that she would be spending most of her time there at opening time, they figured the rest of the time couldn't hurt. So they gave her the attic upstairs.
As Pinkie hopped up the stairs, she thought of that Television she found in the Ponyville junkyard. She was just going past it one day and there it was. T.V's are rare in Ponyville. Only being used to entertain patients in hospitals. So, It's a wonder that anyone would just throw one out.
It turns out that Mr. Cake is a master technician. He was able to get it working again. He's a miracle worker. Unfortunately, Pinkie was on shift, so she couldn't mess with it.
Finally, Pinkie reached her room. She opens the door, revealing so many things that are, for lack of a better term, Pinkie Pie. There were balloons tied to nails in the wall. And the walls were pink with various decorations.. There were party streamers littered across the floor. There are party hats on her nightstand. And on a normal wooden desk, there was a Television.
T.V. is not very common. Ponies say there were only around 500 in Equestria. And as a result they came at over 200 bits a set. So with something so rare being in a junkyard, It's amazing that somebody else didn't get to it before her. It's amazing that anybody would throw it out.
"Yay!" Yelled Pinkie as she hopped to her bed.
"This is so exciting!" Pinkie grabbed the remote and began clicking between channels. She clicks through different channels. and finds a game show. Pinkie watched happily.
"Ohhh! This looks fun!" She said as the host came onto screen.
"Well thats it for today. But come back next week for the next episode of Double Mare!" Pinkie blinked.
"That was short! Come on!"
Pinkie continued switching through the different channels. Landing on such shows as "Manehatten Madness", Foals in Fillydelphia", and "Griffons in Ghastly Gorge." Nothing she was too interested in. She was beginning to think that this wasn't worth finding. Until she found a documentary titled "Equestrian Mysteries: Cloudsdales secret." Pinkie jumped up in excitement.
"I love secrets!" She said sitting back down.
As she watched, different thoughts came into her head. By the end she had so many questions.
"Why would Cloudsdale do this? and why would Celestia approve this? Equestria doesn't need rainbows that badly! But what if it's real? Nah!" She tries to stop thinking about it, but the idea popped back in.
"Then again..." Suddenly, she gets an idea. She heads out and goes to Twilights house.
As Pinkie Pie hopped to the Library to meet Twilight, she thought about that story.
"What if this place really does exist? Oh well, i'm sure it wouldn't turn out to be anything like that." She thought to her self. She brushed the thought out her head and continued hopping.
Finally, she made it to the Library.
"TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!" Yelled Pinkie as she violently knocked on the door.
"TWI-" Before Pinkie could finish yelling Twilight's name again, The door opened and pinkie fell into the house.
"What do you want, Pinkie" Asked Twilight in an irritated tone. Pinkie jumped up almost instantly.
"Do you remember that spell that let us walk on clouds?"
"Yeah, why?" Twilight went from Irritated to confused.
"Oh, no reason. Just to go to Cloudsdale."
"What, why in Equestria would you nead to go to Cloudsdale?"
"To find out if they chop up ponies and make them into rainbows for the sake of the weather!"
"What, why would th-" Twilight was interrupted by pinkie pushing her head towards hers.
"Please!" Twilight walked past Pinkie, causing her to fall again.
"No." Said Twilight as she walked. Pinkie ran in front of her.
"I've got cupcakes!"
"Please, I can't be bribed by delicious treats." Twilight continued walking. "But that reminds me, have you seen Lyra? She seams to have disappeared."
"No Idea!" Said pinkie as she tucked a green unicorn horn back into her pocket. (Yes they have pockets, deal with it.)
"Uh, okay" Said twilight, continuing her walk. for some reason, walls aren't a problem. Pinkie once again rushed up towards Twilight.
"PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" five minutes later. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-"
"Alright, alright! I'll do it. But just so you'll be quiet, and to prove you wrong." Twilight interrupted, using her magic to open the door. She walks out with pinkie following, feeling happy, and a bit victorious.
After setting up the hot air balloon, they were off to Cloudsdale. After a few minutes of flying, Twilight sighed. "How do i get myself into these situations." She asked herself.
"Me, that's how!" Explained Pinkie.
"Gee, thanks..." Said Twilight. After another few minutes of flying, the balloon stopped over some clouds. They looked to see the rest of cloudsdale.
"We're here!" Said pinkie as she hopped out of the balloon.
"Wait pinkie! I never casted" Pinkie falls through. "The spell..."
Pinkie rises through the clouds using a bunch of balloons that she tied around her waist. "Hi!"
"H-how did you do that?" Asked Twilight
"Do what?"
"Pull out balloons, blow them up, and tie them to your body before landing..."
"I don't know" Answered Pinkie.
Twilight's eye twitched at the lack of logic.
"Whatever, just hold still." Twilight cast the spell on both of them. After that, the balloons popped and pinkie fell on the cloud. Twilight got out of the hot air balloon as Pinkie jumped up.
"Let's go" Said pinkie hopping towards Cloudsdale.
"Alright i'm coming" Twilight followed, not too eager to continue there adventure. But they did, sadly.
Twilight and Pinkie were moving through Cloudsdale. While they got wierd looks from other ponies. Mostly because they were surprised to see an Earth pony and Unicorn in Cloudsdale. Where as Twilight tried to block her face out, not use to this, Pinkie Pie was talking to every Pegasus in cloudsdale. She hops up to a mare.
"Do you know about the rainbow factory?"
"Huh? Rainbow factory? Are you talking about the weather factory?"
"No! The one that chops ponies into rainbows!" Yelled Pinkie, shaking the Pegasus up and down rapidly.
"Wha- what are you talking about?" She asked, dizzily.
"My apolagies, Ma'am." Said Twilight jumping into the conversation. "She forgot her medicine before coming here."
"I can see that. But i'm guessing she is your friend?"
"Th-that's right!" Stuttered Twilight, knowing she couldn't deny it at this point.
"Thought so. Well, About your friends disturbing conspiracy. If you want information about our factory, You'll have to talk to the mayor." The Pegasus points to the mayor's office, farther down the path.
Twilight looked at the building and back to the Pegasus. "Thank you for the information."
"Don't mention it. Seriously, don't."
"Oh, don't worry, i won't." Said twilight, more than a little embarrassed. And with that, the pegasi flew away. Desperate to get away from the pink conspiracy theorist.
Pinkie started hopping along the path.
"Come on, Twilight!" she called to Twilight. Who's head was bowed. It seems she was overtaken with imberassment.
"Twilight!" Yelled Pinkie, snapping twilight back to reality.
"Are you coming?"
"Yeah" Twilight followed, trying to forget what happened. And so they made it to the office. And as they were entering, they were blocked by a Guard. It was one of the gaurds they stationed to each of the mayors of each town in Equestria. He was the guard you would expect. White coat with golden helmet. He almost seemed like a model that's been copy and pasted twenty times before.
"State your buiseness here." The gaurd demanded.
"Please, do you have to know why were here? It's nothing major, I promise you." Said Twilight, not wanting to stay here more than they needed to. "I'm sure the mayor could take five minites out of her day to talk to us."
"All visiters must state there reason for wanting to speak to the mayor." The guard responded to Twilight's irritation.
"Oh shut up, Herald!" They heard a voice from inside the building. They looked to find an old blue pony with one of those fancy hats with fake fruit on it. Her cutie mark was a scroll with writing on it. She seemed older than Granny Smith.
"But Mayor, the rules clearly state that-" He is interrupted by the Mayor.
"I said shut it! These two are perfectly trustworthy. Now come in. I'll take you to my office."
"But, May-" He stopped himself, realising it would get him nowhere.
"Don't mind him, come in, come in." She invited them. And they were not going to argue.
As the three mares walked through the halls and up the stares, they shared different experiences they've had.
"Ha, those are some interesting stories." The mayor said.
"Why i remember when i first came into office. Everybody was going crazy over a mare being in this position of power. Anyway, i'm sorry for the trouble Herald caused you. He's new."
"Oh, it's alright. He was just following the rules." Twilight justified.
"I guess your right. Most of the guards here are stiffs. Now come in." She opened the door to her office. They walked in and sat down.
"So what did ya need to talk with me about?"
Before Twilight could talk, Pinkie jumped in.
"Do you chop ponies into rainbows!?"
Uh, what?" The mayor asked, confused at what she heard.
Twilight took over. "Oh, it's nothing really. My friend got this wierd notion that you take failed flyers to the weather factory. Where they are chopped up and turned into rainbows for the sake of the weather."
The mayor looked shocked. She paused for a moment and snapped out of it. "Oh, well I assure you that kind of activity does not go on here. But you must be thirsty. How about some drinks?" The mayor asked, changing the subject,
"Oh sure" Said Twilight.
"No thanks, I'm thirsty for the truth!" Explained Pinkie.
"Right, well i'll get a guard to get something together." The mare walked out, and stayed out for about fifteen minutes. Nearly boring the ponies to death. Eventually, the door opened. But instead of a guard with some drinks, there were five guards with spears surrounding them.
As Twilight regained consiousness, she tried hard to remember what happened. But right now all she remembered was going to Cloudsdale and meeting the mayor. And then everything just went black. Once Twilight's eyes focused, she saw giant machines. Of course the kind you'd see in a factory. (Ya' don't say?)
Soon, she realised she was on a convator belt that led to a giant gear machine. With several tubes sticking out leading to another machine leading outside the building. With a balcony on the other side of the convator belt leading to another room. And topping off the creepy scenery, was a furnace right under it. What it was for, nobody knows.
As soon as she realised that she was in an unfamiliar location after being knocked out, she panicked. She tried to jump, not knowing what was going on. But she realised she was tied down. She looked behind her to find that she had been tied back-to-back with Pinkie Pie. Who was still out cold.
Reacting to all of this, Twilight tried to teleport outside the rope that bound them. Her plan was to teleport outside the rope, wake Pinkie, and make a break for the door. But nothing happened. Twilight's heart nearly stopped seeing this. After calming down, she tries again. And once again, she failed. She was confused, why was her magic not working? She thought about this for a moment. And then it hit her like a brick. An anti-magic field. But this confused her even more. You would need another unicorn to cast this spell.
Startled and confused, she wondered what was going on. And how they got here. And suddenly, she got the answer to one of her questions.
"T-those guards, they just came at us" She stuttered. Memories started flooding back rappidly. She remembers her and Pinkie fighting off these guards.
After one of them announced there arrest, they both jumped out of their seats. At that instant, a guard came running at them. Twilight looked around until she saw an ink bottle on the mayor's desk. Using her magic to pick it up, she spilled the ink onto the guard's face. Then she threw the empty bottle at the guard's head, knocking him out.
After he fell, three more gaurds came after them. However, they were being distracted by the ink that was all over the floor. The guards struggled to stay on their feet. Twilight and Pinkie, taking advantage of the situation, decided to knock out the three guards with objects around the room to avoid touching the ink. Twilight took a book and slammed it in the guards face multiple times. And then picked the guard up by the tail with her magic and slammed him into the other two.
As Twilight dropped the guard, she felt something hit her. The final guard had snuck up behind her while she was busy with the other guards. She fell to the floor with a massive amount of pain running through her head. She heard Pinkie gasp
"Twilight!"
And then Twilight heard another sound. The last thing she saw before losing consciousness was Pinkie falling to the floor.
Once she recollected everything that happened, she heard the sound of footsteps. Fearing the worst, she began struggling to escape from the ropes. But it was no use, whoever tied the rope did too good of a job. Realising it was pointless, she tried to wake pinkie.
"Pinkie, Pinkie, wake up!"
Eventually, Pinkie came to.
"Huh? Twilight? What are we doing tied up? And where are we?"
"I don't know but stay quiet. Somepony is coming."
She said quietly to Pinkie. So the two ponies sat there, quietly waiting for whoever was approaching them. Until they could make out a figure standing outside the door. It was the mayor of cloudsdale. With what seemed like an eternal frown.
"Ah," She said spitefully. "You finally woke up."
"Where are we? And why are you keeping us her?" Yelled Twilight in a mix of confusion and anger.
The mayor walked up to them.
"You are in the restricted part of the weather factory. Called the 'Rainbow Factory' by some. And you are here for meddling in official Cloudsdale buiseness." She explained coldly.
"Meddling in-" Then she remembered asking about the Rainbow Factory. "S-so it's all true?"
"Yes, all of it."
"But how could Celestia not know about this?" Twilight demanded.
The mayor looked at her in surprise. Then returned to her normal look. "well, well, for all the things you know, there is still much more for you to learn."
"What's that supposed to me-" Before she could finish talking, Pinkie interrupted. Like she usually does.
"Wait, why would Cloudsdale let a movie about their deepest, darkest secret out?" Pinkie asked, confused.
The mayor looked at Pinkie. "Think about it, who would believe something so secretive existed if something like this was permitted to be shown to the public?"
"oh." Said Pinkie, lowering her head. Feeling stupid for even asking.
There was a long silence. Twilight was in complete shock at everything that happened. She couldn't beleive that Pinkie was right this entire time. And Pinkie, who usually felt victorious after being right, had regretted ever coming to Cloudsdale in the first place.
The mayor broke the silence. "So, are you ready?"
"Huh, ready for what?"
"Well since you have found out our little secret, we can't let you live."
She said in a joyless tone. Almost as if she didn't like killing ponies for the sake of rainbows. Which seem pointless to begin with.
"This convator belt will send you into that machine. From there, you will become rainbows for the rest of Equestria!"
"WHAT!?" Yelled twilight, struggling to escape her ropes again. And to no avail of course.
"Were you not listening? Your in the place that chops ponies into rainbows. And you didn't expect this?"
"I did!" Yelled Pinkie "Or maybe i didn't. Maybe some of me expected this, but another part didn't. Or-" Before she could continue, The mayor placed tape over her mouth. Apperrantly she had it in her pocket.
"Goodbye" Said the mayor, pulling a lever.
And like that, the convator belt activated. Pinkie tried to scream, but the tape had blocked out. She continbued trying. Meanwhile, ideas of how to get out of this situation were racing through Twilight's head. Until she got something so stupid, it might just work. Or fail.
She turned to Pinkie, who was still trying to scream.
"Pinkie, i have a plan." She said. Pinkie stopped making horrifying sounds, meant to be screams.
"Listen, on the count of three, we both fall to our sides." Suggested Twilight. Pinkie let out a 'What?' which was blocked out by the tape.
"Listen, we're tied back-to-back with each of our fronts facing one side of the convator belt. It looks small enough that if we simply fall to our sides, we could fall off." She explained, Terrified enough not caring about how stupid that plan was. 'okay' pinkie forced out through the tape. Also not noticing the stupidity of the plan.
"Okay, one, two, THREE!" Twilight yelled. They both fell to there sides And off the convator belt. And while the machine didn't kill them, the fall did. Just kidding! Twilight opened her eyes and realizes that what they did was pointless.
"Darn! With these ropes on, we can't run!" She yelled.
Pinkie remembered something. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a scalpel.
Twilight looked at Pinkie confused.
"Why do you have a scalpel?" She asked. Twilight heard 'no reason' from Pinkie.
"Whatever, just cut the rope." Pinkie slipped the scalpel onto the rope and began cutting. The mayor saw this and ordered guards in. Don't ask why she didn't do that as soon as they fell off. I guess she thought they were dead. Just go with it.
Pinkie kept cutting until they broke free. Twilight jumped up, glad to be out of the ropes.
"AHHH!" Pinkie yelled. Twilight turned toward the scream.
"What? What?" she said, thinking Pinkie was in danger.
"The tape really hurts" Whined pinkie rubbing her mouth and holding the tape in her hoove. Twilight cringed.
The guards came in. "Get them!" Yelled the mayor in anger.
Twilight turned to see the guards flying at them. Twilight was frozen. She didn't have her magic. And running was pointless. Until Pinkie jumped in front of her and fired her party cannon. The guards were all knocked into the wall. Twilight was confused again.
"How did you do that?"
"Do what?" Pinkie asked.
"Pull a cannon out of nowhere." Said Twilight
"Pockets, silly!" Pinkie explained. Twilight's brain almost collapsed from trying to comprehend what Pinkie said. Until one guard woke up.
"Nevermind, come on!" Twilight yelled running.
"Where?" Pinkie asked.
"The staircase!" She said, reffering to the staircase that led to the balcony.
"Oh!" Pinkie began to catch up with Twilight.
"Wait, why do pegasi need stairs?" Pinkie asked.
"Don't care, just run!"
"Okay!" Pinkie said happily.
They ran up the stairs, ignoring the mayor. They ran through the door. The guards followed. As twilight and Pinkie ran through the corridor. Twilight continued to try and make her horn glow. Telling her when they've escaped the Anti-magic field. Eventually, a purple aura surrounded her horn. Twilight stopped, grabbed Pinkie, and Teleported both of them outside the factory.
The plan was set. On the count of three, Twilight and Pinkie would fall to there sides and escape the convator belt. Twilight began to count. "One, two..." Before she counted to three, the ponies fell into the machine. And Instantly, the seven colors of the rainbow spilled out of the tubes into the machines that led out of the building.
As the rainbows fell out to the rest of Cloudsdale. Twilight and Pinkie's eyes appeared in the liquid. "Three!" Realising she couldn't do anything, she looked down to see what happened. "Darn!" She yelled.
Chapter 4-Blooper #2: Endless cycle.
"Three!" Yelled Twilight. And they both fell to there sides and off of the convator belt. Twilight was unconscious for a few minutes. When she woke, they were back on the convator belt. "Oh come on!" Twilight yelled in irritation. The convator belt started again, and they fell again. And again, and again, and again. This continued for two weeks, until Twilight and Pinkie Died of starvation.
The End.
Chapter 4-Blooper #3: Best writer ever!
After Twilight relayed the plan to Pinkie. she thought about it. "What? Is that the best the writer can do? That's the wor-" She stopped when she felt something held to her temple. I floated in the air next to her, holding a gun to her head. Time seems to have frozen.
"What was that about my writing?" I asked angrily.
"U-um, nothing! Your writing is a-amazing!" Twilight stuttered, fearing for her life.
"That's what i thought":I removed the gun and moved to Pinkie.
"And by the way Pinkie, I love you. I'll be back, Pinkie promise." I whispered into her ear creepily. For once, Pinkie was quiet. I made my depart to my computer and time started again.
"What just happened?" Twilight asked Pinkie, who had started twitching. The one thing she thought was 'Break the Pinkie promise! Break the Pinkie promise!'
Before you start, I will tell you that after you read this, I also advise you to read the authors note for info on my next story, as well as some plans for this one.
Twilight had been up all night, trying to figure out why any of this would happen. And why Celestia would allow this. She thought about talking to the princess herself. But what was she supposed to tell her? That cloudsdale was chopping ponies into rainbows and she's behind it? Her head hurt. She decided to sort it out in the morning.
After clearing her head, she dosed off. For a moment, forgetting everything. She closed her eyes, and slept.
Twilight awoke to the sound of knocking on her door. She got up, went down the stairs and went to the door. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." She said exhaustedly. She walked up and opened the door. On the other side of the door was a member of the royal guard
"Twilight Sparkle?" He asked to make sure he had the right house.
"Yes." Twilight responded.
"You are under arrest by the order of the princess." Twilight jumped back at hearing this.
"What?"
And from that point on, Twilight and Pinkie reached an agreement. As long as they never told anyone of what happened to them. They may live as normal. And so Twilight and Pinkie had to live the rest of there lives carrying a horrifying secret on there shoulders. Never to speak of it again
