A Rainbow of Pink

Chapter 1: Twilight you've gotta help me!

I woke up drenched in tears. Mr and Mrs Cake ran up the stairs of the bakery to check what was wrong. I was staying with them temporarily. "Pinkimina Dianne Pie, what in Celstia's name is wrong, sweetheart?" Mrs Cake asked sympathetically.

"Bad Dream?" asked Mr Cake.

"Yes, that's it. I've  just had a bad dream, haha. Silly old pinkie pie. I just need to remember to smile, right?" I said trying to sound as cheerful as possible.

Mrs Cake still looked concerned, she put her hoof on my shoulder "Do you remember what the dream was about Pinkie?"

"No! I mean err no." I stuttered "It was just a silly dream. Nothing important Mrs Cake. I just gotta giggle at the ghosties. Haha..." this was all very awkward. When Mr and Mrs Cake went downstairs again, I sighed with relief and face hoofed myself hard.

I had lied too the cakes, I knew exactly what I had dreamed about. Soarin and her... They plagued my mind constantly. Soarin and her... Soarin and Rainbow. It had been months since Rainbow Dash had told me she liked me more than a friend. But back then I thought, well I knew I was a colt lover. So I told her I didn't like her Ilike that but it wouldn't affect our friendship. But now Dash is dating Soarin and I've been forgotten, inside I know she still likes me but It doesn't stop the feeling of neglect. We've been talking less and less recently and the loss of the rainbow that brightened my life seems to have taken its toll. I think I might have fallen in love with her. But society in Equestria doesn't look well upon mare and mare relationships. Oh Celestia, I wish I could go back in time and tell Dash that I love her back. Or at least tell myself in the past to tell Rainbow Dash that she is... my very special some pony.

Suddenly I remembered that one time that Twilight went back into the past and told herself a message. I decided to talk to Twilight (well 'Princess Twilight'), I wouldn't tell her why I needed to go back in time, I would just ask if she would send me back. My pinkie senses tingled and I knew that today  was going to be a good day. I jumped out of bed, grabbed a basket and then galloped to the bathroom to grab Gummy. I shoved him in the basket and tore down the stairs. I don't why brought Gummy but I guessed it was for moral support.

As I raced to Princess Twilight Sparkle's library, it seemed like everypony I saw was with

their very special somepony. I felt sick but it spurred me on to power my hooves as hard as I could. I reached Twilight's in 10 minutes flat, my Pink mane more frizzy than curly due to the sweat poring from my head. I didn't stop to knock at Twilight's door, I just burst in. Twilight was sat down at a desk reading , her crown was laying next to her. I knew she didn't like to wear it that much. "Twilight- *pant pant* need- *pant pant* help *pant pant* Rainbow *pant pant* magic *pant pant* Back in time!" I yelled struggling for air.

"Woah, woah, woah! Pinkie pie. Slow down. Slow DOWN. Do you want a drink to help you relax?" Twilight asked sweetly.

"No I do not want a bucking DRINK!" I yelled.

"Gracious! Pinkie Pie, language!" Twilight looked shocked and slightly hurt.

"Sorry Twi, I'm just stressed." I said regaining my breath.

"Why? Pinkie I've never seen you like this. You are normally so Crazily happy!" Twilight said looking worried.

"No, it's just I- I-... Well I need a favour. I'll even sing you a song if you help me!!!!" I said excitedly, it doesn't matter how sad I was, I love singing songs about my friends hehe!

"You don't have to sing for me Pinkie." My face drooped, I wanted to sing... But I have to focus on the time spell!

"What is the favour you want?" Twilight enquired, putting on her crown as if she was about to help a subject. Normally I would be slightly ticked off at that notion but I was too busy fretting over Dash.

I took in a breath and said determinedly "I want you to perform a time spell on me."

"A TIME spell?!! Pinkie Pie do you know how dangerous that is?!! You could cause a time lapse! Or- or you could get lost in the past!" Twilight cried frantic.

"I trust you Princess Twilight Sparkle." the mention of her title focused Twilight. After arguing for about an hour she finally agreed to send me back even though I wouldn't tell her why.  I was stood in the middle of the room with my eyes shut, focusing as hard as I could on the time I wanted to go back to.

"Are you sure about this Pinkie?" Twilight asked sounding concerned.

"I'm sure." I replied, cool as the water that Gummy swam in.  Twilight shut her eyes and locked her hooves formally on the floor of the Library. She summoned all the magic she could from her horn and with a beam of light. I disappeared.
