New Material in RED

Pinkamena Diane Pie (better known by her friends as "Pinkie Pie" was sitting on the floor of the Sugarcube Corner basement, staring at a jar of paper slips.

"Which one's gonna die today?" she thought aloud as she plunged her hoof into the jar. She pulled out a slip. "Let's see-- Oh..." She let out a giggle. "Well, if it isn't my good old friend, Rainbow Dash."

She stood up and turned to the stairs, knocking over the jar as she left the basement. The slips of paper fell out of the jar. Each had Rainbow Dash's name written on them.

Pinkie Pie left Sugarcube Corner and began trotting through Ponyville, her typical smile on her face and her hair as poofy as ever. She walked up to Twilight's house and knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened.

"Hey, Pinkie Pie." said Twilight. "What's up?"

"Have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?" asked Pinkie Pie. "She wasn't in Cloudsdale or her cloud home."

"Yeah, I saw her earlier." said Twilight, thinking. "Where was she? ...Oh, yeah. I think I saw her heading to Rarity's."

"Okie-dokie-lokie." said Pinkie Pie with a smile and trotted off. "Thanks, Twilight."

"Later, Pinkie." said Twilight, closing the door.

Pinkie Pie looked over her shoulder and grinned.

"Silly, Twilight. You just sentenced your friend to her death."

She let out a giggle and looked straight, making her way to Rarity's.

Pinkie Pie arrived at Rarity's just as Rainbow Dash was leaving.

"Hey, Dash!" said Pinkie cheerfully, approaching her friend.

"Oh." said Dash, not sounding particularly happy to see her. "Hey, Pinkie Pie."

"Say, Dash..." said Pinkie Pie. "How about you come over to Sugarcube Corner later? I have something fun planned."

"Oh, I don't-"

"Pleeeeeeease!" Pinkie pleaded. "It's going to be really fun!"

"I have things I was gonna do today, Pinkie. I'm sorry. Perhaps another time." She began to walk away.

"Please, Dashie. I wanna hang out with some pony."

Dash stopped and turned around. "What about the others?"

Pinkie looked away, trying to think of an excuse. She finally came up with one and looked back at Rainbow Dash.

"All the others are busy." she lied. "Twilight's studying... uh... something. Applejack's doing farming stuff. Fluttershy's tending to her animal friends. And Rarity..."

"Is busy on a backorder." Dash finished. "Whatever that is."

"Come on, Dashie. It'll be fun."

"Well..." said Rainbow Dash. "If you say it's going to be fun..."

"Oh, it will." said Pinkie Pie. "Super fun."

"What time?"

"Hmm..." thought Pinkie aloud. "How about 3:00pm?"

"Three's fine." said Rainbow Dash. "I hope it's gonna be as fun as you say it's gonna be."

"Oh, Rainbow Dash." said Pinkie Pie. "It's to die for."

"Whatever you say, Pinkie." said Dash, trotting off. "See you at three."

"Sugarcube Corner!" Pinkie called after her.

"Got it!" Dash called back, taking to the skies.

Pinkie Pie watched her take off and grinned.

"It's working perfectly." she said, before giggling.
