The Masked Mare of Mystery

Pinkie Pie's POV

Okay, let me start by answering a question I know all you bronies and pegasisters ask yourself when you see me on screen. How can Pinkie do all those crazy things. I would think the answer is obvious to you, since I can break the fourth wall and all. Hehe, wall and all. Anyway, the reason I can do all those crazy feats is because I know I'm a character in a TV show, and if you know your "reality" is fake, that allows you to manipulate your surroundings. Everypony got that? Good, now I can stop being serious and be myself again. Are you happy Silver Sprinter?, you asked me to be serious for two minutes, so you'd better portray me right, you Pinkie Promised. Okie Dokie Lokie, let's get this show on the road.

A double celebration is one thing, but this party is for not three, but four things. It's a welcome party for Dashie's parents, a party to help cheer them up from the death of Dashie's grandfather, a party to celebrate them adopting Scootaloo, and  party for Scootaloo for finding a family. How can the author of this fan-fic put such a challenge on my shoulders? Never the less, as a party pony, it is my sworn duty to at least try to pull it off, because Pinkie Pie doesn't kid when it comes to parties. Hey, don't switch perspectives yet, I didn't get enough...

Third person POV

Later that day, Sugarcube corner was a hive of activity. The bakery was decorated to perfection, and full of ponies enjoying it, and meeting Rainbow Dash's parents.

"Mom! Dad!" Scootaloo called as she ran up to her parents.

"Yes Scootaloo?" Firefly asked.

"This is Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom." Scootaloo said excitedly.

"Hi" the two other fillies said in unison.

Firefly giggled. "Hello."

"Nice to meet you." Bifröst said.

"Wow Scootaloo, you weren't kidding, they are Rainbow Dash's parents, if he didn't a rainbow mane, I never would have believed you." Sweetie Belle said.

"Yay, and they're my parents too." Scootaloo said proudly.

"Scootaloo." Firefly warned in  a motherly voice.

"Aliright mom, we're going to the pin the tail on the pony game if you need me, okay?"

Scootaloo informed them.

"Okay, have fun." Firefly replied.

The couple watched at the fillies ran off.

"Are you enjoying your party Mr. and Ms. Rainbow?" Pinkie asked as she walked towards them.

"Why, yes we are. You sure know what you're doing." Firefly replied.

"Well, you'd be surprised at what you'd learn when you're exposed to a sonic rainboom's shock-wave at five years old." Pinkie explained.

The older couple could only stare at the younger pony. Meanwhile, at another corner of the room.

"Dash, I forgot to mention you seem to be doing better." Twilight said.

"Yeah, that's because my folks got a little sister for me. Having her for a real sister has cheered me up a lot." RD replied.

"By the way, what happened to Tank's helicopter. He showed up after you left, and the thing was pretty worn out." Twilight recalled.

"Oh, yeah, I meant to ask you to upgrade that thing, you see..."

"I don't need to know, I already upgraded it, Tank should be able to fly faster now." Twilight interrupted.

"Thanks Twi." Rainbow replied.

Twilight only smiled.

"Dashie!" a voice called.

Rainbow Dash turned around only to have Pinkie Pie right in her face.

"Gah! Pinkie, don't do that!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Sorry Dashie, anywho I hope your enjoying the party cause your folks sure are." Pinkie said.

"Pinks, of course I'm having fun, everypony has fun at your parties." Dash replied.

Pinkie blushed at the statement. She was about to respond when the door slammed open.

*insert needle scratch noise here*

Everypony turned to the figure standing in the door way. The figure was green and yellow with a Mohawk style mane.

"I want the one named Rainbow Dash." the figure demanded.

Nopony noticed Dash had slipped away.

Rainbow's POV

I could tell by the mane that Lightning Dust had returned. Good thing I was ready for an emergency like this. I had went out the back door and found my saddlebag in the bush I had left it. I put on my Mare Do Well costume and ran around to the front.

"Well?" the villain demanded.

I tackled the masked pony, and we tumbled into the bakery.

"I don't know what your problem is, but I'm going to solve it for you." Mare Do Well replied.

"Actually Mare Do Well,I'm glad your here, you only wish you can handle the likes of Takedown."

Takedown? Is she for real?

"I KNOW I can handle you, Takedown." I replied.

"Oh really? Let's see, shall we?" Takedown said and opened fire.

"Everypony get down!" I ordered.

While the other ponies took cover, I ran around the bakery, just barely missing the bullets. Fortunately, it wasn't long before Takedown ran out of ammo.

"Darn it!" Takedown exclaimed as her guns clicked.

I flew as fast as I could at her, however, Lightning Dust fled the scene. As much as I'd like to have chased her down, I had to make sure nopony got hurt in the fight.

"Everypony okay?" I asked.

Ponies slowly poked their heads out from their hiding places. Nopony seemed to have their head blown off in the gun fire, so I ran out to take off my costume.

Pinkie's POV

Well, that was rather rude, cutting me off like that. But I detest, small holes where all over the walls and the Cakes weren't happy about that.

"Pinkie Pie, who was that pony who saved us?" Bifröst asked.

"That was the Mysterious Mare Do Well, she's been protecting Ponyville for quite some time now." I explained excitedly.

Bifröst looked thoughtful at that statement, but then again, who wouldn't think about their town being saved by a mask hero, I mean, you got somepony who'll be there when you need help...I was just informed was going into an endless ramble and that the author couldn't write it all.

"You know, she sounded familiar, almost like Rainbow Dash." Firefly said, with Scootaloo held tight in one hoof.

She must have scooped her daughter up during the attack. Hey, why am I making so much sense all of a sudden. What's wrong Silver Sprinter, can't handle the Pinkie Pie?

"No she didn't." a voice called behind us. It was Rainbow Dash herself.

"Dash is right, maybe you heard things in a panic." I suggested.

I case you haven't figured it out, I know Dashie is Mare Do Well. I was just covering for her, like any good friend would.

"Well, I suppose we should all go home and recover from this experience." Bifröst suggested.

That  must of sounded like a good idea to everypony else because they began to leave.

"Sorry about the party going south so fast." I apologized.

In all my 12 years of partying, I never had one of my parties end in disaster, so this is going to look pretty bad on my track record.

"Don't worry about it Pinks, it wasn't your fault." Dashie said as they walked out.

It didn't take a genius to know Dash was going to make Takedown pay for what she did.
