Chapter One: Good day Sunshine

The sun shone brightly in the equestrian sky as a certain blue Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane groaned as she tried to block out the bright yellow rays that managed to shine through her cloud home. Realizing that she had work to do today,Rainbow Dash slowly but surely got out of her bed,stretched her blue wings and made her way into the kitchen for some breakfast.

Rummaging through her cabinets, Rainbow didn't see anything she wanted to eat so,she decided to fly down to ponyville and head to sugarcube corner and see what kind of treats her friend Pinkie Pie had baked today. Flying straight out of her cloud home, Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could to the ground below where she saw her friend Fluttershy tending to one of her animals.

"Morning Flutters!" Rainbow shouted as she flew by

"Oh...good morning Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said quietly

Although she barely heard her friend return her morning greeting,Rainbow Dash finally landed in the center of ponyville's town square where she heard her stomach rumbling loudly. Not wanting to waste anymore time,she walked towards sugar cube corner and heard the sound of Pinkie Pie singing a cheerful tune

"Good day sunshine." Good day sunshine..."I need to laugh,and when the sun is out" I've got something I can laugh about...Not wanting to interrupt her cheerful friend,Rainbow Dash's hunger was growing louder as she walked through the front door of the shop where Pinkie Pie saw her and soon had a big grin upon her face

"Good morning Dashie!!!!!" Pinkie Pie said with a wide grin

"Morning Pinks." Rainbow said smiling back

"What can I do for you this sun sun sunny day,Dashie?" Pinkie asked still grinning widely

"Well Pinkie, I'm kinda hungry so I wanted to know what kinds of goods you have here today." said Rainbow

"Say no more Dashie." Pinkie said as she held up a pink hoof "I've got just the thing."

Watching as her friend disappeared into a pink blur,Rainbow barely had time to blink as Pinkie pie appeared seconds later holding a small pie in her hoof. Looking at the treat that was in her friend's hoof,Rainbow cocked her head slightly in confusion as Pinkie explained just exactly what the treat was.

"Here ya go Dashie,one marshmallow pie from me,Pinkie Pie." Pinkie said with a giggle

"A marshmallow pie?" said Rainbow " Um...Pinkie,I'm not sure that is exactly breakfast."

"Oh don't be silly Dashie,of course it is." said Pinkie "I eat them all the time."

"If you say so." Rainbow said as she took the treat "Thanks Pinks!"

"You're welcome Dash!" Pinkie yelled out cheerfully

Holding the treat in one hoof as she walked on the other three,Rainbow was on her way to find a place to sit down and eat her "breakfast" when she saw another of her friends. This time it was Applejack who just happened to be wheeling her apple cart into town. Watching her friend from a distance,Rainbow decided to go over and see if she could lend the honest farm pony a hoof with the heavy looking cart.

"Hey Aj ! Need a hoof?" Rainbow shouted as she approached the farm pony

"Hey there Rainbow." Applejack said with a wave "That'd sure be mighty nice,but don't ya got work of your own ta do?"

"Oh the sky?" Rainbow said as she looked up for a minute "I think that the other pegasi can handle things for a bit,while I help out a friend. And besides,I still didn't eat my breakfast yet."

"That ain't breakfast." Applejack said as she pointed to the pie "Last time I checked,that there was a dessert."

"Well,according to Pinkie Pie..." Rainbow said as she trailed off "Never mind. So need some help or what?"

"Sure Dash." Said Applejack "And while you're at it ,help yerself to a real breakfast, an save that there for later."

Putting down the pie and saluting Applejack with a hoof,Rainbow Dash went behind the apple cart while Applejack just smiled and shook her head. After spending most of the morning helping Applejack sell apples to the citizens of ponyville,Rainbow Dash knew that she had her own work as a weather pony to do. So before taking off to the skies,she offered to help Applejack once more by walking her home. Smiling at the kindness of her friend, Applejack knew that it would be rude of her to decline her friend's offer.

With a simple nod of her head,Applejack and Rainbow Dash both wheeled the empty cart all the way back to Sweet Apple Acres,where the two friends prepared to part ways. Expecting no more than a simple hoof shake,Rainbow was caught by surprise when Applejack wrapped a foreleg around her and pulled her into a friendly hug.

Feeling the heat rise to her cheeks as she was in Applejack's embrace,Rainbow quickly pulled away and zoomed off into the sky leaving an also blushing Applejack standing underneath the Sweet Apple Acres sign smiling and shaking her head.
