A Rainbow of Pink

Chapter 2: Me, myself and time.

I opened my eyes, squinting in the morning light, I was stood outside sugar cube corner. Twilight had told me that now she knew how the Time spell worked I would have more time than she did in the past. She assumed that I would have about half an hour. Cautiously I peered through the windows and saw myself waiting tables with cupcakes thus I decided I to scope out the scene before I talked to past Pinkie Pie. I giggled out loud at the thought of a past me. It was supery dupery CRAZY!!! I clapped a hoof over my mouth to stop the fits of giggles. Yes, I would go into Sugar Cube Corner and look around but I couldn't look like myself. No that would definitely give the game away. I checked the pocket watch that Twilight gave to me and headed to Rarity's shop.

The Bell dinged as I entered, inside was Rarity flirting like anything with a colt I recognised as her Neighbour. The crusaders were sat on the floor, their flanks still as bare as anything, moaning about how Rarity was supposed to be taking them skiing for their cutie marks. For a second or two I got distracted and wondered whether I could go skiing, it sounds super exciting! But then I realised where I was, I waited quietly for Rarity to stop flirting so I could talk to her. But soon my patience wore thin. "Rarity!" I cried desperately.

"Oh Pinkie Pie, darling, have you been waiting there long?" Rarity cooed.

"Yes, in fact 'darling' I have been waiting here for almost 20 minutes. You and I need to have a conversation urgently. But," I looked at the colt and the crusaders "Alone."  I concluded. Rarity gave an apologetic look to the colt and hushed down the fillies before she hurried me into the back.

"Listen Pinkie I-" I cut Rarity off mid sentence with a hoof over her mouth.

"I'm not Pinkie. Well I am, sorta," I tried not to giggle, "I'm future Pinkie! Oooooohh scary! Anyway...I came back just like Twilight did to talk to myself! But before I can do that I need your help to scope out the scene but NOT look like me ok?"

"Wait, run that by me again darling, I was too busy watching that Wild Stallion over there!" Rarity's eyes were so busy checking out the colt to even listen to the fact that I was magically stuck out of time!

"Rarity focus! I'm from the future and I need you to make me a disguise!" I cried my hoof stamping impatiently.

"Well why didn't you just say so silly! Let's get started!" Rarity said with a surprisingly chilled out voice. 5 minutes later I stepped out of her shop as an indigo pony with blue hair and green eyes. My cutie mark was an adorable puppy. I cantered down the street calmly and said a small Fluttershy style Hello to every pony I passed. I entered into sugar cube corner and sat quietly down on a seat. It was so frustrating having to be 'Normal' all I wanted to do was sit upside down on the chair and grin widely at everypony. But right now I was on a mission. I was... Spy pinkie.... Duh duh dun dun dun dun dun DUN! I waved my hoof in a sort of, neat way to signal Pinkie Pie from the past over to give me a menu. She bounced over so blissfully unaware of the trauma that she would soon experience. When she saw me she typically gasped! I should have guessed that I would react like this.

"Don't tell me, you know everypony and you don't recognise me so I must be new and I wouldn't know any pony so you were going to plan me a suprise birthday party to get friends. Blah blah blah I get it. Moving on!" I said sounding very unlike my normal pink self.

"And before you ask no I'm not physic I'm-" I lowered my voice, "From the future and I need to talk to you Pinkie Pie."

Past me giggled "Sure thing Future pony!"

I couldn't help giggling as I walked Past me into the bedroom. I instructed her to sit down on the bed, she, well I, sat down upside down. "Now listen Pinkie at some point the mailpony-"

"Ooh I love the mailpony!" Past Pinkie said, her face alight with joy.

"So do I! But Pinkie, focus! Anyway the mailpony is going to give you a letter its going to be from Rainbow Dash."

"Rainbow Dash?!! What does the letter say? What does it say?!!" Past me was trying my patience.

"PINKIE!" I shouted!

"Yes Future Pony?" Past me asked innocently.

I inwardly sighed "Now in the future your going to regret the decision you make when get the letter. So when you receive this letter you've read it you have to find Rainbow Dash and tell her-"

"Tell her what? Tell her what?!!" Pinkie Pie cried and I swear to Celestia I could've ripped her throat out!

"- that you are-" A beam of light interrupted me, "In love with her!" I concluded eyes shut out of annoyance at Past Pinkie Pie. But when I opened my eyes to see Past me's reaction, I was greeted with a very confused looking purple pony in a lab coat and a crown.

"TWILIGHT?!!" I shrieked. Twilight looked confusingly sympathetic for me,

"What, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked pointedly. The Princess looked meekly at the floor and said quietly.

"The time spell wore out.... and I saw everything."
