“Pinkie! Pinkie! The cake is ready!” Mrs. Cake shouted from the kitchen,
“Cominnggggg!” Pinkie sang, Pinkie Pie ran down the stairs past the counter and into the kitchen. She opened the oven and pulled out the cake. Pinkie put it next to the 4 other smaller cakes she had baked before. She got some sticky icing and started to pile the cakes on top of each other. Soon, the cake was easily 2 feet tall,
“Now for the icing!” Pinkie exclaimed, licking the icing from her hooves,
“Pinkamena Dianne Pie, you know not to lick your hooves while you are cooking! Go wash them now!” Mrs. Cake said in a stern voice.
“Okee dokey, Mrs. Cake!” Pinkie said, always seeing the positive side of things. After alot of rainbow coloured icing later, the 6 pony party began. Fluttershy arrived first, then came Rarity and Twilight, then Applejack, after waiting for 10 minutes, Rainbow Dash still hadn’t arrived, they waited a bit longer until Twilight said;
“Ok, I’ve had enough! I’m finding Rainbow Dash!” The moment she stepped out the door, everyone heard a loud crash.
“Sorry...”
“Dashie!! You’re finally here! I knew you would come!” Pinkie ran up to her best friend to give her a hug. She didn’t see the worried expression on Dashie’s face.
“Oh yeah, hi pinkie, I would never miss one of your parties!” Rainbow dash said with her gloomy mood lingering in the air.
“Come and sit down, I’ve made a huge cake for you!” And Pinkie ran into the kitchen and brought a 7 hoof high cake, with different sizes of cakes stacked on top of each other, each one with a different colour, but all of them matched Rainbow Dash’s mane.
“Oh wow Pinkie, you didn’t have to do all this for me..”
“It’s fine Rainbow, anything for my secret...” Pinkie stopped dead in her tracks, everypony staring at her,
“Pinkie darling, what did you just say?” Rarity asked Pinkie.
“I said um... favourite! Favourite! Favourite friend!” Pinkie replied, a bit too quickly.
“Pinkie, is there anything you would like to tell us?” Twilight asked, all eyes on Pinkie.
“Gaahh,” she let out a huge breath, “Ok, um... well...”
“Yes?” Everypony asked,
“Ok, ever since we defeated Discord, something happened, it was like he did it as a prank to me. I felt closer to Dashie than any other pony, she felt like the only pony I had at that point, nothing else mattered, it was just me and her, but I was wrong. Something is wrong, my pinkie sense has been telling me that for a long time,” She took a breath, “Dashie, you have something to say,”
“Dashie, tell them,” Twilight pitched in.
“Ok, then, I guess it’s time I told you guys, well you know how my dream is to become a Wonderbolt,” She looked at everypony, all of them nodded, “Well, finally they had an audition that wasn’t on my work day, that’s why I couldn’t come to Dinky’s birthday bash. Well, they let me in, and,” She paused, “I have to leave, in a week, and I won’t be back until March...” A tear rolled down her cheek. Everyone heard some loud breathing, then a whimper, they turned their heads to see a tearing up Pinkie pie.
“Pinkie, don’t cry,” Fluttershy said in her soft voice.
“Don’t cry? DON’T CRY!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO STOP CRYING AT A TIME LIKE THIS?” Pinkie shouted at Fluttershy and jumped on the cake doing so as she ran up to her room.
“My my, dears, I think the party is over, why don’t you, of Fluttershy, are you alright?” Mrs. Cake asked Fluttershy, after seeing her crying, quietly, of course.
“No, it’s ok, I’m fine” Fluttershy assured her.
“Ok then sweetie, better run off, I’ll clean up the mess,” Everypony looked around and just noticed the mess Pinkie made,
“That’s a good idea,” Rarity said, flicking a piece of orange icing off her mane.
“I need to talk to Pinkie, she deserves an apology...”Rainbow Dash walked up the stairs and knocked on Pinkie Pie’s door.
“What do you want?” Pinkie Pie asked, her voiced sounded shaky.
“Pinkie, I’m sorry, I know you have a crush on me, me leaving doesn’t mean I don’t like you too,” Rainbow Dash said, carefully picking out her words. The door opened a bit,
“Rainbow, please come in,” Pinkie Pie opened the door, her eyes were red, and her normally poofy mane drooped down her head down to her knees. “I want to tell you that I like you alot, really, it might sound stupid, but,” She looked up “It wasn’t since Discord, it was since I made that first party for you, for your arrival in Ponyville.”
“I understand Pinkie, I have to go,” Rainbow Dash stood up and pecked a kiss on Pinkie Pie’s cheek. Pinkie held up her hoof to feel where Rainbow touched her. “See you later Pinkamena Pie.” Pinkie never felt so good.

“You did WHAT!?” Twilight leaned closer and said in a whisper “You don’t want to lead her on!”
“What if I do? What do I do! I don’t want the Wonderbolt’s to know I’m a fillyfooler!”Rainbow Dash and Twilight were having lunch out. Twilight and Rainbow Dash had become really good friends after the Daring-Doo experience. “Oh, why me Twilight? Why me?” Rainbow Dash said out loud, she took a bite of her cupcake. ‘Not as good as Pinkie Pie’s!’ She thought.
“Well, I’m trying to help, but these decisions should be made by you Rainbow!” Twilight exclaimed.
“Hey Dash! You still up for tomorrow?” A voice came from behind Twilight.
“Sorry Spitfire, No can do, I have to go see my friend tomorrow, maybe on Tuesday?”
“Dump your friend, you won’t see her for six months!”
“I’m the element of loyalty, I can’t dump my friend!”
“Fine, Tuesday,” The golden Pegasus walked off, while a few young fillies chased after her for her signature.
“Dash, you really are the element of loyalty,”
“Thanks Twilight, I have to go see Pinkie, thanks for lunch!”
“No problem!”

“Hey Mrs. Cake, I’m here to see Pinkie Pie, is she here?”
“Sorry Rainbow Dash, Pinkie just went to see Twilight!”
“Ok, thanks, I’ll be visiting the library,” Rainbow Dash flew off, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. When she got to the library, she knocked on the door, which was answered by Spike.
“Hey Rainbow! Want another copy of Daring-Doo, or are you here to see Twilight?”
“How did you know I was visiting Twilight?”
“Oh, Pinkie came by, and Twilight knew you wanted to see Pinkie Pie, so she predicted you would come here.”
“Ok, and while I’m here, could you get me ‘Daring-Doo and the Emerald Crown’?”
*P.S. I made that up on the spot.*
“Sure thing Rainbow!” And Spike ran off, climbing up the ladder to get the book while Rainbow Dash walked in, looking for Pinkie Pie.
“Hey Rainbow!” She turned around to see Spike holding the next book of Daring-Doo, “They’re upstairs,” He pointed to the stairs leading to Twilight’s bedroom.
“Thanks Spike!” Rainbow rubbed his head and hovered towards the stairs.
“I don’t know what to do, Applejack won’t hang out with me because her family thinks it’s strange, being a fillyfooler, but you look at Manehatten, there are tons there! What if Lyra and BonBon are the only fillyfooler couple in Ponyville? Look at Vinyl and my sister, *because everyone says Octavia is her sister* what’s so strange about that?” She heard Pinkie say.
“Hey guys,”
“Oh hey Rainbow Dash,”
“Hi Dashie,” Pinkie Pie’s eyes were red, “Did you just hear everything we said?”
“Only that Applejack won’t hang out with you,”
“Ok good,”
“BURP! TWILIGHT! THE PRINCESS SENT A LETTER!” Spike called from downstairs.
“COMING!” Twilight ran downstairs, then she came back up with the scroll hovering in front of her. “You guys want to read this,” She said.
