A Rainbow of Pink

Chapter 7: But I'm your marefriend!

"Why, yes!" Emerald replied to a very confused looking Rainbow Dash who had just been told she wasn't the ONLY marefriend her coltfriend had. "You can't be his marefriend. I'm his marefriend, right? I. Am. His. Marefriend." "Wait what?!!!" Emerald cried looking like this was all news to her, even though... It wasn't. I outwardly giggled and clapped a hoof over my mouth. Now everypony in Sugar Cube Corner was watching us. Rainbow Dash was losing the plot and fell into my lap, "Sorry Pinkie Pie, this is all a bit much for me." I secretly smiled "I know right! But don't worry Pinkie Pie is always here for you." I said smiling sincerely.

Soarin looked between the rich and beautiful Emerald Rose and the fast but quite poor Rainbow Dash. "Emerald, Sweetheart, this pony is clearly deranged. She just came and sat down at me and Pinkie Pie's table." Soarin said charmingly, he had clearly made his decision. "Oh, so how do you know Pinkie Pie?" Emerald asked pointedly. Soarin struggled for a second and then opened his mouth to make up some lame ass excuse. But I cut in. "I only just met him, I called Rainbow Dash to meet me with her new coltfriend, Soarin, they came in holding hooves and kissing." I said loudly. Emerald winked at me smiling. After Soarin made up every bad excuse in the book Emerald shushed him and looked at him dearly?

"Well my darling Soarin I might as well give you the present I got for you." Present what present? Soarin clearly looked like he was forgiven. "I bought us both romantic hot chocolates." Emerald Rose picked out two Horsta Hoffee cappuccino cups. She took the lids off both the drinks but instead of hoofing one over Soarin she passed it to Rainbow. "Now Dash you can do whatever you want with your drink, I know what I'm going to do with mine." She picked up her drink and chucked it in Soarin's face. Dash grinned then bro hoofed Emerald. She picked up her own and chucked it violently at Soarin. Soarin shouted, that drink must have been HOT. As Dash and Emerald walked out, Emerald called "C'mon out Mystery, Pinkie and Twi! They helped me plan to expose Soarin as a playa pony!" I leapt up and walked slowly to join Dash and Emerald. We all walked out of there with purpose.

When I woke up the next morning I was in a strange and unfamiliar place. In a strange and unfamiliar bed. In a strange and unfamiliar bedroom. It was all very strange and unfamiliar. I almost giggled but stopped when I noticed Mystery Gloom was sat on a chair watching me. "Mystery? Where am I? What happened last night? Ow my head!" I had a storming headache so I lay down. "Pinkie you're awake! How are you? You are at my temporary apartment in Ponyville. Last night we all went out drinking, I was sober still but you, Emerald, Twilight and Rainbow Dash got hammered! You played the truth game and you had to say who you loved."

I cringed, I knew how this would end. "Emerald said Twilight! Twilight grinned but said me.... *sigh*. I said you and you, well, hit me. Very hard..." He lifted the fringe of his mane so I could see the massive purple bruise on his black colouring. I grimaced. "You said Rainbow Dash; Rainbow went pink and kicked you hard in the flank. I could tell you were hurt but not disheartened. In the end Twilight went to sleep at Emerald's house, you kissed Rainbow. But she pushed you away and you burst into tears. Dash went home to Cloudsdale looking guilty and you lay crying on a chair for a bit. And I came to help you up and you...." He smiled "....Kissed me.” Wait, I kissed him?!! But then I noticed the wry look on his face I could tell we might have done more than just some innocent kissing. “We...only kissed?”

He grinned looking actually rather sexy, “You know Pinkie Pie, for all your naivety you sure do know how to play it dirty.” He winked and trotted out o PDF the room. I facehoofed, quietly shouting “Arghhh!” and collapsed onto the bed admitting defeat. All I wanted was Dash, but now Mystery Gloom has done IT with me, Twilight Sparkle had some freaky crush on me and Rainbow Dash doesn’t even want me. Mystery Gloom strode gracefully back into the room dressed in his bow tie carrying a silver plate with cupcakes and hot chocolate on. "Your breakfast my noble mare." He said gently I giggled, I love cupcakes!!!!!! I could just imagine licking off that icing. Pinkie Pie focus! I picked up a cupcake"Why are you doing this for me?" I asked "Because I love you." He replied without hesitation.

"No, but why? I mean WHY do you love me? I'm not pretty like Emerald or charming like Rainbow or smart like Twilight!" I laughed dryly at myself "I'm not rich, fast or kind or strong! I don't measure up to someone who would be your marefriend. I'm confused about loving another mare, the fact that I'm in love with another mare should be enough." I cried."I don't make good choices, I hardly EVER make sense!" Another cynical laugh escaped my mouth. "I'm wierd and delusional and have special senses that let me see the future! The mare you SHOULD be after would be some- Well to do noble pony, with a gorgeous mane. Beautiful body and amazing special talent. Who drinks tea and eats fancy hay sandwiches. That's the pony you would want. That's the pony Dash would want. Not me!"
