"Pinkie," called Rainbow Dash, staring down at the sleeping form of Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie groaned, one of her fore hooves twitched slightly

"Pinkie," called Rainbow Dash again.

Once again, Pinkie Pie let out no more than a groan in response .

This just isn't working, thought Rainbow Dash. "Pinkie," Rainbow Dash called a little louder, but still keeping a quiet volume on her voice. After all, the rest of the Pie family might still be asleep.

Pinkie Pie groaned slightly louder. At this point, Rainbow Dash had ran out of possible solutions to awaken the pink earth pony before her. All her ideas were exhausted. Well, all minus one. Between her teeth, she grabbed a pillow from off the bed, before twisting her neck, bringing her head back and launching it right at Pinkie Pie's back. Pinkie Pie leaped out of bed as if she was instantly wide awake, and as hyperactive as ever.

"Dashie, what was that for?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Because, last night, to quote, you said, 'Rainbow Dash, you are awesome, and I want to come to work with you tomorrow.'"

Pinkie Pie let out a small giggle. "I didn't say that, silly filly. Well I said I wanted to go to work with you, and you are awesomazing, but I didn't say that last night. I'd remember it, silly Dashie."

"Oh right. Anyway I tried to wake you up, but I couldn't, so I threw a pillow at you. It was very effective."

"Wow. I mean superwow. You can do it now?"

"Do what?"

"See outside here of course. It's reeeeeeaally weird at first, but you'll get used to it."

"Urm no."

"Oh, I thought that was Pokemon. Never mind." Pinkie Pie gasped, jumping in the air, and somehow defying gravity as her gasp drew in deeper. She then landed on the ground. "Bestest. Idea. Evaaaar. I should totally teach you how to do it, so you can talk to the author. Hello, author."

Hello there Pinkie Pie, now get back to the story. Now isn't a good time.

"Ok, author, goodbye for now, author."

"Pinkie, you are soooo random."

"yeah, but you think it's just as awesome as you think you are."

Rainbow Dash blushed. She couldn't deny that she thought Pinkie Pie was awesome. In fact, Pinkie Pie hit the nail right on the head. Rainbow Dash did think, no, knew, her awesomeness was equalled, and possible even exceeded by that of her best friend / the mare she harboured feelings for. That didn't mean she had to admit it though. Applejack represents honesty, not Rainbow Dash. "of course," replied Rainbow Dash. Celestia dammit.

"Awwwww Dashie, you're such a Sweetie McSweeterton," replied Pinkie Pie, causing Rainbow Dash's blush to intensify.

"C'mon Pinkie Pie," replied Rainbow Dash. "Y'know I don't do all the mushy stuff."

"It's super funny actually because you are kinda mushy at times around me. Don't sorry, your secret is safe with me. I know you don't want anypony to find out that you have a softie soft side, Dashie."

Once again, Rainbow Dash's cheeks burned a deep red colour. "I can't help it Pinkie."

"I know you can't," Pinkie Pie's grin widened "Dashie, I've been thinking, and no it didn't hurt so save all you cheeky cheekiness for now. I know we are here to bond, so maybe I could show you somewhere awesomely super duper I used to like to go as a little itty bitty Pinkie Pie. I think you'll love it."

Unaware of the gravity of what Pinkie Pie was asking for, Rainbow Dash didn't get too excited. "Urm, yeah sure."

"Awwwww come on Dashie, that didn't sound super enthusiastic like I thought it would. Let me be super duper clear here," Pinkie Pie cleared her throat and took in a breath. "Would you like to go somewhere super nice and super quiet alone some time. It isn't too far."

"I don't understand, that sounds awesome and all, sure, I'd love to. Was that better?"

"Well it's a date then."

That was when it hit Rainbow Dash. She shot up in the air, colliding with the bedroom ceiling. "OUCH!"

"Urmm Dashie, are you okay?"

"Better than ok, I just got a little excited. You mean you were asking me on a date?"

"Yes indeedy with a cherry on the very tippy top."

"Thank you Pinkie. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. This is the best thing ever."

"It may take a little itty bit more time for me to completely fall in love with you, but this will be a supexcellent way to start. Maybe we should write Twilight a letter, like right now, and then one after work, then one before we go to sleep, then one when we wake up, then one after the date."

"It's great, Pinkie. So when were you thinking? And I don't think we need to tell Twi', AJ, 'Shy, and Rarity everything we do. Maybe once or twice a week."

"Yeah, but then they might think we've forgotten about them, and they might get super worried, and when they're worried, they may tell Princess Celestia and worry her as well, in case they think we're in trouble, when really were not in trouble, we just didn't write to them telling them every single thing at every possible point."

"Pinkie, even Twilight said once or twice a week is fine."

Pinkie Pie giggled. "Okie dokie lokie. When's your next day off duty?" the pink mare then giggled again. "Duty. Tehee. Isn't that just the funniest thing ever?"

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and briefly re-checked her schedule to ensure her guess was correct. "Tomorrow."

"Well, I guess tomorrow works then, Dashie."

"Speaking of work, I'd love to stay, but if I'm to start on time, I better move my awesome flank."

As Rainbow Dash turned to leave the room, Pinkie Pie couldn't help but steal a glance at Rainbow Dash's flank. For a pegasus, Pinkie Pie had to admit it was pretty 'awesome' to use Rainbow Dash's explanation. Pegasi weren't shapely by nature compared to earth ponies, due to less hind leg activity, and nature making pegasi more aerodynamic to aid speed and agility, yet Rainbow Dash somehow managed to maintain a good shape. Pinkie Pie averted her gaze just in time for Rainbow Dash to turn round. "Well, ya coming then, Pinkie?

Author's Notes:

So it looks like I'm spoiled for choice. I can either do a chapter where Pinkie Pie foes to work with Dashie, or the date. It depends if I can get the work scene to work properly. I'd like to do the work scene but I will have to see if I can do it.

reader event

So I've decided to do a reader event. I'm going to be doing an event where you, the readers, can ask the Devoid version of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash anything. It will be in a blog post rather than on the story, so I will link the blog post in the authors notes on the closest chapter to whatever is published when I do it. I will also tag this story in the blog post so those who have this in their favourites are notified.

Rules for questions.
Must be SFW, nothing related to sex or gore.
Must be submitted via personal message.

As long as they follow these parameters, your question will be answered. Also, please try and say whether you are addressing a question to Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, or both. This isn't necessary, but if you don't, I may answer it differently than what I should. Submissions end two weeks today (9th May) and the answers will be published the next day (10th May). Thanks.
