Pinkie Pie awoke, gasping for breath. She quickly placed a hoof to her head, searching for a feather, but only found her usual poofy mane. Still feeling restless, she reached over and felt for her best friend and lover, finding great relief as she realized wasn't alone. Rolling over, her muzzle found its way into a tuft of fur on her chest. She inhaled, comforted by the sweet, relaxing scent. Her arms wrapped around the pegasus, who instinctively returned the warm hug in her sleep.

"You... you don't love Fluttershy more than me, do you?" Pinkie sobbed into her lover's soft chest.

"... Pinkie?" She muttered, still sleeping.

"Mhm. I... I had a bad dream, Dashie." The party mare squeezed her lover tightly and fought back tears.

"Shhh, it was just a dream, get back to sleep." Rainbow returned the mare's hug and pat her back.

"Just a dream... but it felt so real... You were with Fluttershy, and you didn't love me anymore..." Pinkie couldn't contain herself any longer. Tears began to trail down her soft cheeks.

"I'll always love you Pinkie. Don't you worry about that." Rainbow's eyes slowly parted open, and she planted a kiss on the top of the sobbing mare's muzzle.

"You promise?" Pinkie looked up with wide, glistening blue eyes.

"I Pinkie Promise." Rainbow leaned down and kissed her lover, each closing their eyes and finding comfort in the other's warm grasp. "Now let's get some more sleep..."

"Okay... G'night Dashie."

"Night Pinkie."

***

Pinkie shuddered, something bugging her nose. She twitched and attempted to turn away, but the annoyance followed. Feeling an overwhelming tickle, she reached up and smacked her own nose with her hoof, only to realize that it was covered in whipped cream.

"Baaa hahaha! I gotcha!" Rainbow Dash rolled over onto her back, dropping the feather she had been using to tickle the mare's nose.

"Mmmm! Thanks Dash!" Pinkie jumped up and licked her face clean with a single swipe of her tongue.

Rainbow immediately stopped laughing. "Well you're no fun..."

"I'm plenty fun, wanna play a game?" Pinkie excitedly asked, her tail twitching in anticipation.

Just then, the wind blew forcefully through the open bedroom window, knocking a flower pot onto the floor.

"Ooh, windy." Pinkie shut the window, spotting a pair of familiar ponies trudging through the bad weather. Fluttershy... Pinkie glared and gritted her teeth.

Rainbow spotted the unusual reaction and trotted up to the window to see what it was all about. "Oh hey look, Flutters and Twi, I wonder what they're up to. Let's go check it out!"

Rainbow fluttered downstairs and waited at the front door. "Hurry up Pink!"

"Right behind you." The irrational mare stomped towards the stairway with narrow eyes.

Rainbow attempted to hold the bakery door steady against the strong winds as the two mares came inside. "Phew." Rainbow let out a relieved laugh as she pulled the door closed.

"That wind just came out of nowhere. What's the weather team up to Dash?" Twilight inquired, a little annoyed at the sudden extreme conditions.

"Ah you know... High pressure, low pressure. Barometric pressure. I don't even know... I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's all under control." Dash patted Twilight's mane condescendingly.

The unicorn raised an eyebrow and contemplated explaining things a bit more thoroughly, but just blinked and let it go. "Anyway, Fluttershy and I were just out for a treat, and figured this would be the perfect place to stop by."

"You were right about that. I'm not sure what Pinkie's doing, but she should be down any second now." Dash glanced back towards the stairs, scratching her mane.

"That reminds me, how are you two doing? Has the sniffing died down at all?" Twilight asked, and Fluttershy cocked her neck, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Don't ask." Rainbow shook her head at Fluttershy and turned back to Twilight. "It's actually fine. I'm really happy with her and I don't really mind the sniffing anymore. It's actually kinda flattering once you get used to it."

Rainbow could easily see the curiosity in her shy friend's eyes, and let out a sigh. "I know what you're thinking. Yes, Pinkie is obsessed with sniffing me, and go ahead, I don't mind." Rainbow held out her foreleg and rolled her eyes.

Fluttershy blushed, but wouldn't deny that she wasn't curious. She trotted over to the outstretched leg and placed her muzzle against it, taking in a small whiff.

"Hey sister! That's my Dashie, and you can't have any!" Pinkie suddenly charged Fluttershy, knocking her away and onto her flank.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry Pinkie, I didn't mean to cross the line. I was just wondering... well I wanted to know... I mean, I'm sorry." The timid little pegasus squeaked and hid herself behind her mane.

Pinkie snarled and took on a wide stance.

"Pinkie Pie! What's gotten into you?!" Twilight shouted, helping Fluttershy back to her hooves.

"Fluttershy's out to steal my Dashie!" The angered pink pony punched her front hooves together, as if to threaten anypony with similar ideas.

"Nopony wants to steal Rainbow Dash from you. She was just curious about the scent. We all are." Twilight attempted to reason with her. "You didn't react this way when I sniffed her."

"That's because you're not a good-for-nothing, marefriend-stealing, backstabbing liar!" Pinkie glared into Fluttershy's teary eyes, stamping a hoof and snarling. "And unlike her, I was a very generous virgin!"

The fragile little pegasus stood up with tears pouring. "I'm... sorry." She attempted to apologize, but the broken squeaky words were hardly audible. She stumbled towards the door and opened it, fluttering out into the harsh winds.

"Fluttershy wait!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Darn in Pinkie! Fluttershy can't handle herself in those winds. I gotta go after her!"

Twilight stood still, angered by the unnecessary verbal assault on the shy mare. "Pinkie, where in Equestria did that come from, what did Fluttershy ever do to you?"

Pinkie plopped down on her plot and teared up as well. "I..."

Twilight lost her anger and trotted up to the mare, while Rainbow headed outside, closing the door behind herself. "Tell me, what happened. This is so unlike you, I just don't get it."

"I just... I had a bad dream, and it felt so real. Now I feel angry every time I think about Fluttershy... When I saw her sniffing my Dashie, the same feelings from the dream came back and I couldn't control myself." Pinkie looked up into Twilight's eyes, her sincerity shining through them.

"Well you know that isn't Fluttershy's fault, right?" Twilight took a seat next to her and placed a hoof over her shoulder.

"Yeah I know. But I still feel mad, I can't help it."

"That's no reason to take it out on poor Fluttershy, you know how sensitive she is. You need to find a different way to vent." Twilight stated, concerned for the friendship between two mares.

"I know... I'm sorry." Pinkie closed her eyes and hugged onto to the helpful unicorn, her tears escaping.

"It's alright Pinkie, but I'm not the one you should be apologizing to."

***

Rainbow easily caught up the to feeble yellow mare struggling against the wind. "Hey Shy! Wait up!"

"Why should I..." The apathetic-sounding pegasus continued pressing forward.

"Pinkie didn't mean it. She had a bad dream about you, and then she saw you sniffing me, and that's her thing. Gah, I don't know, it's all just stupid. Come on, no need to lose a friend over a simple misunderstanding." Rainbow pleaded, reaching out and stabilizing her friend.

"I... I guess you're right..." Fluttershy looked back, loosing her balance and tumbling forward, falling flat on her muzzle.

"You okay?!" Rainbow quickly lifted her back to her hooves and placed a hoof over her bloody muzzle. "Come on, let's get you back inside."

Despite several minutes of trudging down the road, the shy pegasus hadn't even made it half way down the block. Fluttershy nodded and tilted her nose up, allowing her friend to guide her back to the bakery.

Rainbow forced the door open and quickly shut it behind them. "Hey Pinkie, grab Fluttershy some paper towels."

The pink mare nodded and did as she was told, trotting into another room and returning with not only paper towels, but a small pale of ice along with warm cup of tea. All was balanced on a small tray in the party pony's mouth.

"Here ya go. Sorry I acted like a mega-mean minotaur." Pinkie held out her hoof, placing the paper towel gently beneath her friend's nose.

"Um... 'ts okay."

"Friends?" Pinkie smiled wide and held her arms out, offering a hug.

Fluttershy nodded and closed her eyes, one hoof holding her towel in place and the other wrapping around her friend. Rainbow Dash looked to Twilight and nodded in mutual understanding. With our powers combined... we just saved a friendship! Rainbow puffed her chest out triumphantly.

Twilight Sparkle stepped forward. "So what do you guys say? How about those treats?"

Pinkie nodded and stood up, giving Fluttershy a light peck on the top of her muzzle before trotting into the kitchen. The timid pegasus blushed and looked down. "Thanks Pinkie."

Rainbow Dash smiled and lifted her injured friend to her hooves. "See? Isn't it better when we all just stay cool?"

"I agree with Rainbow Dash. We all need to just stay totez chill and mellowed down more frequently." Twilight threw her front hooves into the air in a casual manner, as if she simply didn't care.

"Wow Twilight. I never realized how cool you were." Rainbow teased, wrapping a hoof around her neck and messing her mane up.

"What can I say? I've been reading up on it. An Egghead's Guide to Becoming Hip, it's a very informative read. For instance, that move I just made. It was to show that I'm secure with myself in a carefree environment. Did you pick up on that?" Twilight looked up and smiled, trying to spot Rainbow's reaction.

"Oh yeah, I can tell you're definitely secure with yourself." Rainbow winked down at Fluttershy, who giggled.

"Oh, let me help." Twilight pulled away and trotted up to the injured pegasus, placing her horn against the tip of her muzzle. She let out a soothing warmth that radiated off the tip of her glowing horn.

Fluttershy closed her eyes and felt her wings go limp. "That's... nice."

Rainbow chuckled and looked away, having caught a whiff of Twilight as she trotted by. She realized the unicorn was still in heat, and wondered how things went with Rarity only a day ago.

"So Twi, looks like you two might want to finish that upstairs. Don't want you gettin' too excited where other ponies might walk in and see." Rainbow raised her eyebrows and nodded towards the stairway.

Twilight blushed and choked. "Uh... ahem... I uh..." Her face turned the darkest shade of red Rainbow had ever seen.

"Look who's the shy one now!" The cocky pegasus fell onto her back laughing.

Fluttershy leaned up, placing a hoof on Twilight's cheek, still soothed by the spell. "If you want to... I'm okay with that..."

"I brought cupcakes!" Pinkie trotted into the front room, a tray of treats balanced on the tip of her nose. "Ooooh. Nice." She raised her eyebrows in sync with Rainbow's.

"Yeah, Twi's in heat so I told her she could use our bed." Rainbow snatched a cupcake off the tray and took a big bite.

"I guess you're gonna get a better treat than you thought, eh?" Pinkie giggled.

"Psh, good one." Rainbow smacked the party mare's flank, causing her to lose balance of the tray, but she dove beneath it and caught it on her wings before it could could hit the floor.

The three bystanders applauded and cheered. "Woo! Nice save!"

Rainbow stood up and bowed, balancing the tray on the tip of a wing. "I know, yes I'm great. No need for applause, really."

Each mare stopped and smiled, happy to have Ponyville's greatest hero around to save to the day time and time again.

"So, you two fillyfoolers gonna go upstairs and buck or what?" Rainbow sat the tray down and used her wings to guide them both to the stairway, nudging them forward.

Fluttershy cleared her throat and began slowly walking upstairs, her tail brushing sensually beneath Twilight's chin. The flustered unicorn couldn't fight her hormones any longer. She sighed and shot a disdainful glance towards her overly-encouraging friend, then turned, trotting towards the sexy little yellow flank in front of her.

Twilight stopped and glanced up at the author. "That's it! No more shipping! I'm sick of having to constantly console my friends because of you jerks!"

He shrugged and kept writing.

"Ah, how perfectly romantic." Rainbow sighed and placed her cheek on her front hooves.

"Uh, Dashie? Two friends are hooking up in my bed, that doesn't sound very romantic to me." Pinkie furrowed her brows, shrugging.

EEEEP! "Shhhh! Relax Shy." Shuffle Shuffle

"Sounds like those two are having fun." Rainbow winked and trotted into the kitchen. "I just had a good idea, wanna make cupcakes again?"

Pinkie grinned and trotted after her. "It suuure was fun the last time!"

"Yeah it was. Actually, we can skip the baking if you want, and go straight to the fun part." Rainbow grinned and pulled her friend close.

"Mmmm, you mean... straight to this?" Pinkie backed up and lifted Dash's front hoof, sticking her tongue out and running it up the center.

The pleasured pegasus closed her eyes and gasped. "Yeah, that works."

"Hehe, you're so silly Dashie." Pinkie pushed her onto her back and went down to her back hooves.

"I'm not. You're...." Rainbow attempted to stifle a squeak of delight, but failed to do so.

"Mmhmm, keep squeaking, I like it." Pinkie bit down on the hoof and waited for a sound.

"I can't control it..." She confessed, spreading her wings and legs.

"Then I'll just have to try my best to make you do it." Pinkie pushed two blue thighs apart and shoved her face between them.

Rainbow let out a goofy laugh as her eyes rolled back. She placed her back hooves over Pinkie's shoulders and her front ones on her head. The party mare's long tongue swashed around, already knowing just how to get the pegasus perfectly riled up.

Pinkie lifted her head and widened an eye. "Would you consider getting bucked on the kitchen floor romantic?"

Rainbow nodded and forced the pink mane back between her legs. Pinkie giggled and gave in, biting and sucking on the mare's lips. She took a deep inhale, enjoying one of Rainbow's most unique scents. It wasn't her favorite, but definitely was the most arousing.

"Why you smell sooooo good Dash?" Pinkie asked, slowly crawling up the trembling pegasus' body.

"I... I guess I'm best pon..." Before she could finish speaking, pink lips met blue, and interlocked into a passionate kiss.

Pinkie Pie's legs interlocked with Rainbow's, her plot lowering into position. Once again, pink lips met blue, this time grinding against one another. Rainbow broke away from the kiss and gasped. Pinkie pressed her face into her lover's chest, rocking her hips increasingly faster and harder. Rainbow wrapped her back hooves tightly around Pinkie's back, pulling her down into the thrusting.

"You wanna come for me baby?" Rainbow forced her hips up, gyrating as she did so.

"Yeah!" Pinkie whined, her voice cracking.

"Buck me harder, I wanna come together, at the same time." The pegasus used all the strength in her body to continue the motions, feeling her lover's body tense up.

"That's right Pinkie! Come all over me! DO IT!" Rainbow shouted, mid-orgasm herself.

Both mares screamed out in ecstasy, pulling the other into a deep, tongue heavy kiss.

A subtle sound caught Rainbow's attention. She opened one eye to see Mr. and Mrs. Cake staring, absolutely mortified by the sight beneath them.

"Heh, hello." Rainbow closed her eyes and gulped.

"This uh... isn't what it looks like, I swear."
