Chapter 2:6:

Photoshy and Flutterpie

The ponies walked up Ponyville cliffs. Big Mac was following behind, opting to let the girls go ahead to set up as he brought the cart of apples. It was a simple exchange. Rarity, Rainbow and Fluttershy showed up and Big Mac immediately ran into the barn and grabbed a cart with apples and told them to go ahead. The walk dragged on for a while. Rainbow had the memories of her walk with Applejack last night vividly as they slowly trotted up the steep hill. Once again, Rainbow found her mind drifting to the Mare Do Well incident more so as she saw a carriage being pulled down the hill. She gulped and tried to ignore the thoughts plaguing her mind.

"So, Rainbow Dash, what say we talk about what specifically we'll need doing at the cliffs." Rarity said as they neared the top of the hill.

Rainbow nodded and looked around. All of Ponyville was visible. Sweet Apple Acres, her cloud home, the Library, Fluttershy's cottage, the Train Station, Sugarcube Corner... it was another breathtaking view. Rainbow saw all of Ponyville on a daily basis but, the angle, the fact that she's Earthbound; she's in the hoofsteps of an Earth Pony. She's seeing what Applejack would have to walk far to see, she's seeing it from a non-flier's perspective. The radiating glow of the sun shining down upon the rustic straw, wood, and even the few brick houses of Ponyville gave it a rich glow, full of life. These past few days, Rainbow Dash has been seeing things from an Earth Pony's perspective. The early morning sunrises, the joy of hard work (apple family food? Totally worth it). Her mind began to work at terminal velocity; she desperately wants to keep experiencing things as an Earth Pony. Applejack bucks for 8 hours a day while Rainbow gets the easy way out bucking clouds for 10 seconds? She started resenting the fact that she had the worlds easiest job. From this point on, she decided she was going to work to get what she wanted. She wanted to know what else she could discover from an Earth Pony's perspective.

"Um, Rainbow Dash? Are you okay? I mean, you're staring off and... it seems like you're, um, unfocused... no offense..." Fluttershy said, backing away as she finished.

Rainbow snapped back to reality. "Oh, sorry, I was just thinking." Rainbow rubbed the back of her head.

"Well that's fine and dandy but if you don't pull that spectral head out of the clouds, we'll be here all day." Rarity said as she pulled out a small box from her saddlebags and placed it on the ground.

Rainbow rolled her eyes with a smile. "Whatev's, let's get the show on the road. Or the sky. Or, whatever." she said as she examined the area.

The top of Ponyville cliffs. One building, an average sized, clean clearing, fences. Then there's the trail, a nice backdrop of the clear pinkish, purplish, orangish, blue skies of Ponyville, and an object perfect for photographic abuse: Ponyville itself. It was the perfect setup for photographing period. Rarity gave the small box a weak buck where it then popped into the air as legs sprouted from the bottom forming a tripod and the box opened up revealing the camera Rarity used previously. Rarity levitated it with magic, twisting it a bit as she positioned it at her preferred angle. She walked behind it and looked through the small hole to see where the lens pointed. It was on a slight tilt downwards.

It captured Ponyville, the skies, and Sweet Apple Acres. It was the perfect shot. Then Big Mac appeared in the bottom, slowly getting bigger along with the cart of apples as he got closer. He didn't seem to be breaking a sweat as he lugged the heavy cart. He eventually stopped as he approached a short, cinder block wall set at the top after the Mare Do Well incident. Don't want any more carts calling from their straps. He positioned it perfectly in the shot and he quickly gout out of the harness. He stepped out of the way as Rainbow and Fluttershy watched him position the apples, no complaints from Rarity.

"Y'all need me t' stay?" he asked.

Rarity put a hoof on her chin as she pondered. "Maaaaybe." she got a sly smile on her face as she eyed Big Mac's person. She looked at his down-to-earth gruffness, how he stood there tall, muscular and... so perfect for her shots. "Big Macintosh, what would you say about modelling?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow and Fluttershy exchanged looks before staring at Big Mac with wondering eyes. Big Mac as a model...? It was an interesting thought and maybe, just maybe, it could wo-

"Eenope." he said as he proceeded to turn away and walk down the hill.

Rainbow and Fluttershy exchanged giggles, both tried to hide it. Rarity made a pouting face.

"Hmph! He was the perfect addition." Rarity said before small smile began to break out on her face. "Well, off with him! This is a job for us girls, anyways." she quickly set a small box on the ground holding a switch. She looked through her lens. "Rainbow, darling, could you stand near the front of the cart, and Fluttershy, could you stand near the back of the cart please?" Rarity asked as both Pegasi nodded and took their positions.

"Anything seems off, jus' say so." Rainbow said as she looked around the area.

"Hmm, Rainbow, turn yourself so your front half is closer to the front, Fluttershy, your standing position is excellent, but can you give me a nice big, natural Fluttershy smile?" Rarity asked.

Fluttershy nodded and quickly thought of something that made her happy. Coming home each day to see her animals running to her to greet her, to ask her about her day, to show them they could clean after their own nests. The feeling of treating a sick animal, to see them all healed... her face felt flush and warm as it reddened. Her mouth twisted into her usual warm Fluttershy smile.

Rarity watched as Fluttershy quickly formed a smile, the warmest she's ever saw. It filled her chest with a glowing warmth to see her good friend form that innocent smile.

"Now, Rainbow Dash, can you raise your head upwards, tilt it to the sky and give me a bit of a smile. Not large, not small, just like Fluttershy. Just in between." Rarity said.

Rainbow thought quickly. "Just like Fluttershy..." she thought as she looked over at the smiling Fluttershy. She gave herself her best average smile.

"That's... great Rainbow, but..." Rarity said, biting her bottom lip.

Rainbow kept her smile. "But...?" she asked.

Rarity sighed. "Okay, forget your 'average' smile. Instead, give me your usual 'Rainbow Dash' smile." Rarity said as she prepared to hit the switch to photograph.

Rainbow shrugged and quickly bared her 'fangs'. She gave herself a wide smile, showing her teeth. Her brow was bent. This was her game face which she often used. Rarity's eyes widened.

"Oh goodness, that is perfect!" Rarity said. "Hold that pose!" she said as she stepped onto the switch, the flash going off and the scene getting captured.

"Now, Rainbow Dash, could you and Fluttershy step together please?" Rarity asked as she slowly pushed the camera's tripod forward.

"Okay." Rainbow and Fluttershy said as they trotted closer to each other. Standing merely a foot away from each other, the two looked over at Rarity.

"Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, could you both take an apple and take a bite? Slowly." Rarity said as she stopped pushing the camera.

"'kay." Rainbow said as she reached into the cart to pick out a Red Delicious. "This is actually slower than I thought... much slower but..." she thought as she held the apple in her hoof, taking a small bite. Fluttershy did the same thing. They were both looking at the camera but Rarity shook a hoof.

"Can you both not look at the camera for this shot? Have a short conversation and ignore the flashes. I'll be taking several. Continue eating the apples please." Rarity said as she smiled.

Fluttershy nodded. "O... okay." she said as she looked back to Rainbow. "So, um, Rainbow... how is your flying coming along?" Fluttershy asked before taking a small bite of her apple.

"Well, it's alright. I've created some new tricks, I never had a chance to practice since the last time you watched. Back when I spiralled through Ponyville barely avoiding everybody." Rainbow said as she took a bite of her apple.

*FLASH*

Fluttershy swallowed her small bite. "Well, you were doing fine. I couldn't see all of it, you were so fast..." she looked at her hooves for a second. "What went wrong." she looked up, taking another bite of her apple.

Rainbow swallowed. *FLASH* "Well, at the pinnacle of my arc as I attempted a Spiral Pogo-Dive, I spun way too much that I was disoriented and began my eventual uncontrollable spiral." she said as she took another bite, quickly chewing and swallowing. She quickly smiled. "Oh, the Spiral Pogo-Dive was supposed to be where I spiralled directly towards the ground and just before I hit the ground, I quickly shot back upwards where as I flew up, I would spin around in circles, smaller to bigger until I slowed back down to normal flying speed." Rainbow said before taking a larger bite of her apple. *FLASH*

Fluttershy swallowed, letting loose another warm smile. *FLASH* "Oh, sounds cool. I wish you could have done it." Fluttershy said as she looked down, further examining her apple; a Macintosh. She instantly thought of Big Macintosh as she ate the fresh apple. Her face grew redder as she thought about the hard working stallion. She sighed happily as she closed her eyes, holding the apple between her hooves. *FLASH*

Rainbow finished chewing and swallowed the chunks of apple. "Thanks. I'll try next free chance I have that isn't spent helping Applejack." Rainbow smiled. "Fluttershy, have you ever thought about learning a few tricks?" *FLASH* Rainbow took another large bite, leaving only one left. She thoroughly enjoyed her apple as the taste flooded her mind and throat. It warmed her torso as she quenched her unsatisfied hunger. That Banana didn't fill it up much. She swallowed the chunk of apple and took her last bite leaving the core. *FLASH*

Fluttershy shook her head. "No. I haven't tried any tricks but I have tried flying faster than usual. It's so scary actually... Rainbow, do you have some sort of trick book?" Fluttershy asked as she nibbled on her apple once more. *FLASH*

Rainbow swallowed her apple chunk and examined her apple core. She looked back up at Fluttershy. "I do. Do you wanna borrow it?" she said before pausing. "Actually, do you wanna fly with me again?" Rainbow offered as she threw the apple core in her mouth. *FLASH*

Fluttershy swallowed her small bite. "Yes please. Can I still borrow your book? Because I... I wanna help you with your... tricks and I also want to... um, I want to be able to race you again. It was so much fun." Fluttershy's face filled with happiness again. *FLASH*

Rainbow smiled as she finished swallowing her apple core. "Alright, Fluttershy. For the next few weeks, Applejack should know where I am on my free time since I'm living with her." Rainbow said as she fluttered her wings. *FLASH*

Fluttershy nibbled on her apple and swallowed the small piece. "Oh, is that because you're getting more... um, dedicated? No offense..." Fluttershy said as she took another nibble. Fluttershy was only half done her apple. *FLASH*

"Oh, yeah." Rainbow paused. "Just because I'm getting dedicated to my job." Rainbow looked off as she looked at the house behind Rarity. There was now an awkward silence.

"Ah, that should do for the ground photos." Rarity said as she tilted the camera back on the tripod so it was aimed higher up. "Fluttershy, could you finish that apple please?" Rairty asked as she quickly replaced the film, setting the used film in the proper container for blow up later.

Rainbow did a few stretches and Fluttershy eyed her apple. "It's so big, I don't think I can... well, not soon." she said.

Rarity nodded. "Well, you could set it aside or throw it out, dear. We are on a bit of a schedule." Rarity said.

Fluttershy nodded and slowly walked over to a nearby trash bin, tossing the last half of the apple into the trash. She sighed as she trotted back over to the cart. Rainbow tried her best to be patient as Fluttershy took her time. After a few seconds, Fluttershy coughed lightly and looked back at Rarity.

"Okay, so, now what?" Rainbow asked.

Rarity checked the camera's lens, quickly making sure it captured the skies perfectly.

"Okay, Fluttershy, you're done for the moment. Right now, it's Rainbow Dash's turn to go solo." Rarity said.

Rainbow's eyes widened. "Wait, so what do I have to do? A cloud-double backflip? A Static Lighting Blast?" Rainbow quickly pondered her various tricks as she examined the skies. It wasn't too windy, just perfect for flying.

Rarity shook her head. "Nothing I won't be able to follow, dear. Just fly fast enough that you can do a proper loop and usual tricks most Pegasi can do." Rarity said.

Rainbow let out a disappointed sigh. "Okaaay." she said as she flapped her wings. She flew up into the air and away from her takeoff point. Just enough so she doesn't endanger anything on the ground and close enough Rarity can still catch a closeup.

"Now, just do a few loops, twists, your usual stuff dear. Again, please ignore the flashes." Rarity said. "Fluttershy, could you come over here please. I need a favour from you." she said as she saw Rainbow begin to do several flips. She hit the switchbox, taking a picture.

Fluttershy trotted over to Rarity and watched as Rainbow flew around perfectly. The uniform wasn't hindering her flying. "Yes Rarity?"

Rarity hit the switchbox again. "Could you go to Twilight and ask her to meet us at Ponyville Elementary at 9:50? And after, could you run over to my house?" she asked, hitting the switchbox.

"Alright. What do you need?" Fluttershy asked, looking down at Ponyville.

Snapping another picture as Rainbow spiralled by, Rairty watched Rainbow's flying carefully. "Up in my room next to my bed is my nightstand. Inside the drawer is a small manilla envelope. Can you bring that back to me please?" Rarity asked, taking another picture.

"Sure. I'll see you in a few minutes." Fluttershy waved before trotting slowly down the hill towards the Library.

Above, Rainbow saw Rarity and Fluttershy talking before Fluttershy left. She pondered for a second before focusing on flying. The next 10 minutes continued like this; flying, flashes, more flying. During one of her loops, she spotted a yellow, pink and green speck in the corner of her eye coming up the hill. Fluttershy.

"Could you come down here now, Rainbow?" Rarity called out as she took one last picture.

Rainbow nodded, adjusting her flight course before soaring down and landing next to Rarity. Fluttershy slowly, agonizingly slowly walked towards the two ponies. Rainbow sighed. After a few seconds, Fluttershy finally came up in view as she edged closer to them.

"So, what did you send Fluttershy to get?" Rainbow asked.

"That is a se~cret!" Rarity said in her usual secretive tone. Rainbow rolled her eyes. "You'll learn in due time."

"Second time that has been said this week..." Rainbow thought, remembering what Applejack told her.

Fluttershy finally closed in and walked towards Rarity, holding the small envelope in her mouth. She let Rarity levitated it out of her mouth. "Sorry I'm late." she kicked the ground, bending her legs in shame. Here you go, Rarity. I stayed behind because Spike was coughing." she said.

"Ah, it's fine dear. You're so kind, making sure little Spikey-wikey is in good health." she said as she opened the envelope and levitated the paper out, reading it. Her eyes grew wider. She hasn't had a chance to read this letter since she got it and figured to read it in her free time. Rarity swooned, nearly falling over. She recollected herself and put the paper back in. "Ah, this is perfect." she said looking over at Rainbow in a teasing fashion. Rainbow rolled her eyes as Rarity quickly closed up the Camera, retracting the legs and closing the box.

"Okay, now that we're done here, let's gooooo." Rainbow said, tapping her forehooves on the ground.

"Patience, Rainbow. We'll be leaving in a second."

Rainbow sighed. "So, Fluttershy, when are you free next?" Rainbow asked the timid pegasus.

Fluttershy thought for a second. "... whenever you are, I guess. I really don't have a schedule except for when an animal is sick. Feeding doesn't take long." she said.

Rainbow rolled her eyes with a smile. "Well okay. Because I really wanna try and get some more flying sessions in. I mean, you do have the potential to be a great flier. Heck, maybe even Best Young Flier. Your grace is useful in many situations." Rainbow said as Rarity finished placing the envelope and the camera into her saddlebags.

Fluttershy blushed. "Oh, I don't know... 'Best Young Flier' is a little out there and if I tried, so many ponies would be watching..." Fluttershy trailed off as she kicked the ground lightly.

Rainbow rested a hoof on her shoulder. "C'mon, don't be like that. You have the potential to be as good as I... was, about six months ago in a month's time." Rainbow smirked as she worded her sentence.

Fluttershy smiled, a blush growing on her face. "Thanks, but... well, I guess. Just come get me when you're free next." Fluttershy said.

Rainbow smiled. "You're on. That'll be in..." she put a hoof on her chin. "Wow. If I had a schedule, I'd be able to tell when I was free. Oh, irony..." she facehoofed.

Fluttershy and Rarity giggled as they overheard that. "Thanks. You're a great friend, Rainbow." Fluttershy said as Rarity listened as they finished their conversation.

Rainbow smiled and Rarity sighed happily at the sight. The sight of two friends as their bond grows stronger... it was enough to make Rarity faint; Rarity fought the temptation as they still had more shooting to do.

"Alright you two. Let's go now." Rarity said as the three ponies trotted towards Ponyville Elementary.

Later that day, after all the shooting and photographing had been done, Rainbow was out of her uniform, rested, full of lunch, and flying towards Sugarcube Corner, ready to meet Pinkie Pie. Earlier, nothing too amazing happened. It was the usual stuff. Meet with friend, watch them converse while she and sometimes Fluttershy zipped around like flies as Rarity snapped a few photos. She did notice that when they met at Ponyville Elementary, Rarity handed the manilla envelope over to Twilight who Rainbow barely hear mention that "Spike will send this ASAP". She shrugged it off, figuring to trust that she will in fact learn of it in time. The photography in the air was just as well. Rarity almost got lost in the excitement of wanting to show off her wings. She'll keep those for the next three days. Twilight offered to remove them when they were done but Rarity refused, deciding to see the various background shots she could snap.

She zoomed through town, watching Ponyville Elementary below. That was the most boring part of the day as they merely photographed Rainbow and Fluttershy in front of the schoolhouse, some fillies in the background during the lunch time. She shoved the boring memory away and focused on flying towards Sugarcube Corner to meet with Pinkie. She wasn't flying at a fast pace, merely casually floating by. Down below, the gingerbread house was rustling and bustling. It wasn't rare to see Sugarcube Corner full, but in this case, "full" is like trying to say Twilight's OCD is nothing to worry about. She looked around, wondering where she is supposed to touch down and sighed. She descended, landing on the balcony to Pinkie's room. She looked through the door and didn't notice Pinkie in there.

She knocked three times and waited, just for good measure so she can say she knocked. To her surprise, a Pink pony bounced through the door and turned to the window, a big smile on her face. Usual Pinkie mood. She bounced towards the door and opened both halves.

"Hiya, Rainbow Dash. Are ya here to help now? GREAT! Fluttershy helped a few days ago and she assisted me and the Cakes with baking for a bit before opening and she made this AMAZING banana bread and then one pony bought it when we opened and he thought it was so amazing he had to tell everypony so then he and I broke out into a song and now everypony wants to try it!" Pinkie said all in one sentence.

Rainbow stared, taking in it all at once. "Banana bread so good everypony is practically going to earn you guys enough money to retire." she smirked. "I actually didn't know Fluttershy could bake." Rainbow said as she stepped in, closing Pinkie's balcony door.

"Wowiee, me too! Our greatest super duper secret ingredient is actually not so secret: laughter! And then Fluttershy came in and said her secret ingredient is 'love and kindness'." Pinkie said as she frantically looked around her room as if looking for something before staring directly into Rainbow's face, halting her bouncing. Rainbow stared back, both ponies not moving. "Rainbow, I must be able to make this banana bread on a daily basis. Will you teach me this 'love' that Fluttershy is talking about!" Pinkie asked with a stern, serious voice.

Rainbow stared wide-eyed at Pinkie. "... uh, what?" she asked, completely unsure what she heard was actually spoken.

Pinkie leaned in closer, her eyes squinting. "Teach me how to looove like Fluttershy!" she said. "This banana bread is awesome and I don't wanna ask Fluttershy because I don't want to embarrass her by making her have to teach me something!"

Rainbow Dash's mind exploded inside. She felt the huge urge to burst into laughter. Instead, she just giggled sheepishly. "No Pinkie, I can't. You already know it." she said, having a guess as to what Fluttershy meant.

Pinkie sighed. "Oohkaaaay..." she retreated a few steps before piping up immediately. "SO, do you wanna come down and help? Do you know how to handle a cash register? If not, you can help bake! Do you know how to bake? If not, you can taste the food before we sell it! If you can't taste," Pinkie paused and placed a hoof on her chin, looking up at the ceiling with confusion on her face. "in which case you must have eaten one too many rainbow-coated apples which means the Zap Apples have arrived which also means I missed out on Zap Apple pie... *GASP* Rainbow, you ate Zap Apple pie!" Pinkie asked in sheer shock.

Rainbow giggled. "No, no, Pinkie, you didn't miss Zap Apple season." Rainbow said. Pinkie let out a huge sigh of relief. "To answer your +200 questions, I can use the cash register but after yesterday..." she shivered. "I'd rather not have to deal with customers; especially since you have a lot of customers today. I'll bake. I was supposed to help sell but there's a little too many ponies today." she finished up.

Pinkie nodded. "Okie doki loki, let's bounce on downstairs so you can help the cakes in the kitchen!" Pinkie said as she bounced towards her door.

Rainbow nodded and followed Pinkie downstairs to the main store itself. Rainbow could hear the chaos as many ponies were talking downstairs and heard Fluttershy and Mrs. Cake trying to man the front desk. Stepping down the stairs, Rainbow spotted the store was packed as full as it could. There was a small fence on the ground so staff of the store can go upstairs of necessary. Rainbow spotted Mr. Cake trying to bake AND watch Pumpkin and Pound Cake in the kitchen as he cut many loafs of the Banana bread Fluttershy had made earlier. Pinkie bounced through her little path Rainbow following as they went behind the counter.

"Oh, Pinkie, please take over! I can't do this!" Fluttershy said as she quickly sold more banana bread.

Rainbow was astonished. Everybody was going bananas for Fluttershy's banana bread. Rainbow facehoofed at her mental pun. She sighed as she walked behind the counter. Pinkie replaced Fluttershy's spot.

"Raaaainbow, can you go assist Mr. Cake now?" Pinkie asked joyfully as Fluttershy stepped into the kitchen.

Rainbow put a hoof up to her head and saluted Pinkie. "Got it boss!" she said as she shot through the double doors into the kitchen of Sugarcube Corner.

She spotted Fluttershy walking over to Mr. Cake, relieving him of the twins. Mr. Cake spotted Rainbow.

"Oh, Pinkie and Fluttershy said you would be coming. Could you help me cut up the loafs of bread, Rainbow Dash?" Mr. Cake asked, anxiety in his voice.

Rainbow nodded and walked over to the kitchen's island. There was a lot of banana bread to be cut still. She immediately grabbed the first cutting knife she saw and proceeded to cut the loaf into reasonable slices. Slowly, faster, faster, until she realized any faster and she'd be endangering herself and others. She quickly made short work of the banana bread in the first row, before shoving it off to the side to be bagged. Fluttershy set the twins into a play area, giving each little blow-up hammers to stay occupied. She trotted over and started bagging the bread carefully but fast enough to meet demand. She stuck a price sticker onto the bag and closed them with twist ties. This continued. Rainbow was enjoying this. The heat of the oven was giving her a forced sweat and her hoof was getting sore from the constant speedy cutting.

Rainbow switched hooves as to not let herself be beat by a sore wrist. This was simple Earth pony grunt work. If she couldn't do it, then how could she applebuck? Rainbow really needed to learn how to bake like the Cakes and Pinkie. She wanted to build up her skills in various areas. Responsibility; she had to be dependable and honest. She had to be someone Applejack could trust. Character; if Rainbow didn't try and understand the long, tedious work Applejack does on a daily basis, she never will.

This was another challenge, another competition against herself. She stopped cutting for a second to examine; she had cut over 12 loafs of bread and was examining the overall work. They had over 30 loafs left to cut. 12 loafs in 5 minutes according to the clock. She shrugged it off. This was one hurdle, one hurdle that can't be passed with wings. This requires hard work and determination. She began to cut again as Fluttershy bagged the bread her and Mr. Cake cut.

After the next half hour, Rainbow and Mr. Cake finished cutting the banana bread, Rainbow forced to slow down after both hooves were sore. The rush died down and the customers slowed down to a crawl. The store was a total contrast to how it was earlier. Most ponies got their hooves on the phenomenal banana bread. After what Pinkie dubbed the "Banana Bread Basket Rush" ended, most ponies came in for other things. Muffins, cupcakes, scones, cookies. Some were regulars, some were people who came whenever they had the spare change. She looked over at the clock; 1:30.

"Ready, Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie said, popping out of nowhere.

Rainbow thought for a second as she placed the cutting knife down. "Ready? For what?" she asked as she quickly examined the kitchen. IT was a mess of flour and breadcrumbs. Mr. Cake was taking a break, playing with the twins. Mrs. Cake was busy selling whatever goods to the few customers still there.

"Silly, you're practising banner pulling with the extra large banner for Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie said as she bounced off to the back room.

"Oh, right." Rainbow said.

She took a few steps back, slumping down onto a stool. Finally relaxing, she took a deep breath. Then she finally noticed the usual sweet scents of Sugarcube Corner. The kitchen smelled of bananas, vanilla frosting and several other common fruits made into sugary sweets. Pinkie bounced back, balancing a large white box on her head as she approached Rainbow. She stopped just in front of Rainbow and dropped the box.

"Here ya go. Inside is a harness and the large banner." Pinkie said.

Rainbow nodded. "Alright. I've pulled a banner before and that was large, unless this one is larger." she pondered as she opened it up and put the harness on.

It wasn't as new as the one she wore as of lately. It was slightly run down but it was sturdy enough to pull banners. The harness itself was sort of itchy but not enough to actually force Rainbow to remove it and scratch it. She walked out to the backdoor, feeling the warm air brush through her mane as the door opened. She took a big sniff of the air. Pinkie followed out shortly, carrying the banner.

"Ya forgot this, silly!" she said in her ever so bouncy mood.

Rainbow smiled. "Didn't forget, just testing the waters or... winds." she said as Pinkie and her began to clip the large banner on as Pinkie pulled it out of the box.

After a few seconds, the banner was clipped to the harness and Rainbow hovered for a bit. It was indeed heavier than her usual banner but nothing she couldn't handle, granted a wind doesn't come her way.

"Well Pinks, I'm off." Rainbow said as she bent her legs, preparing to take off.

Pinkie waved. "Okie doki loki, see ya later, Dashie!" she said as she bounced in.

Rainbow flapped her wings her hardest for ground takeoffs and she began dragging the huge banner into the sky.

Author's Note: So yeah. This day kinda went fast for Rainbow but I figured that even if I take things slow, the same shit with photographing was pretty much what Rainbow described. What I had planned was boring enough to warrent a cut/time-skip. I know it seems totally out of it for me or a cop-out but if I was getting bored typing it, the readers would get bored of it. Maybe when the story is done, I'll include whatever alternate endings, deleted scenes, unfinished scenarios, what-if's, the whole works. Guaranteed Guest Fics in this other story archive as well. But yeah. Please continue to read, thanks.

Special thanks to Absolute Anonymous for pimping the Apple Spectrum regardless of her "iffyness" about AppleDash. Thank ya kindly, fellow Canadian.
