Better Togetherby FlameingToastChaptersGetting To The LibraryFour Drunken MaresWhat Happened Last Night?Getting To The LibraryRainbow Dash frowned at the wall. She was sitting on the floor of Pinkie's room, and was desperately trying to come up with a plan to leave without being seen. Pinkie, however had a smile on her face and was playing with her tail. "Can you help me come up with something!?" Rainbow Dash asked angrily. It was starting to bother her that Pinkie wasn't taking this seriously. "Come up with what?" Pinkie asked, seemingly oblivious to their situation. Rainbow Dash felt her left eye twitch. "A plan to get out of here!" "Well...there is a door." Pinkie said grinning at the flustered pegasus. Rainbow Dash sighed in frustration. "We can't just waltz out the front door!" Pinkie cocked her head. "Well, why not?" Rainbow Dash was at a loss. Pinkie just wasn't understanding the gravity of their situation "Listen, what do you think ponies will think if they saw us hoofcuffed together?" Pinkie tapped her hoof against her chin thoughtfully for a moment before she realized what Rainbow Dash was implying and started to blush. "Oh, I see what you mean..." Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yeah, it would be pretty embarrassing. So, help me come up with something so we can try and forget this." "Hmmm..." Pinkie started, "I wonder if anything did happen..." before Rainbow Dash shook her head vehemently. "Nope, nothing happened," Dash said quickly. "But we don't know for sure. We can't remember last night" Pinkie stated, shrugging. Dash looked her in the eyes."Pinkie, nothing happened, and, so help me Celestia, if you don't start helping me, I'm telling Rarity that you were the one who destroyed her dress," Rainbow Dash said, feeling a little sick from the fact that Pinkie might be right. Try as she might, Rainbow Dash still couldn't recall much from last night, and what she could was a haze. Pinkie gasped loudly. "You promised that you wouldn't! It was an accident and she can't know!" Pinkie was vividly imagining the unicorn’s rage. "She'll never forgive me! Please don't!" Pinkie pleaded shaking her hooves. "Fine, I won't tell her," Dash relented, "as long as we can get this over with." Pinkie nodded. "Well...there's always the back door. Or, we could try and launch ourselves across town with my-" "Back door!?" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "...That's right...there's a back door." Rainbow Dash facehoofed. Pinkie shrugged "You might have be overthinking this a teensy-tiny bit." She chuckled. Dash felt that if she had to endure this much longer, she'd go insane, and it had only been twenty minutes. "Okay, back door it is." Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash trotted downstairs to the kitchen, and headed to the back exit. Rainbow Dash poked her head out the door and looked around. Nopony was in sight. Better make this quick. Rainbow Dash pushed the door open all the way and stepped outside, frantically motioning for Pinkie to follow. "C'mon, we need to be fast." Pinkie Pie saluted before closing the door behind them. They started off slow, ducking behind bushes or whatever was nearby to avoid passing ponies. This continued for a few blocks, until they neared the tree house. Rainbow Dash thought that they were in the clear. By some miracle she and Pinkie managed to make it to Twilight's without being seen. Well, I shouldn't be surprised, I knew I could handle this, Dash thought with a smirk. Her self-gloating was interrupted by a small ahem from behind her. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash turned around to find a mint green pony staring at them. There was dead silence as each pony kept looking at one another. "...Hiya, Lyra!" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed to the pony. "Um, hi...Pinkie Pie" Lyra replied slowly, continuing to stare "Why are you two behind a bush...hoofcuffed together?" "There's a good explanation for this!" Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie Pie nodded. "Yeah, we woke up together drunk in my bed like this!" Pinkie grinned. Rainbow Dash's mouth gaped open, as did Lyra's. "PINKIE!" Dash shouted. "What? Did you want me to lie? Because lying's bad." Pinkie replied. "Yes! I wanted you to lie!" Rainbow Dash shouted, before turning back to Lyra. "Don't listen to her, she's insane. See, what really happened was that we were kidnapped by ninjas, then-" Lyra held up a hoof and interrupted her "It's fine, you don't have to explain anything." "Yeah, this is all just a big misunderstanding." Rainbow Dash gave a sigh of relief. "Please, don't tell anypony," Dash added hopefully. "Don't worry." Lyra smirked. "I don't go around telling ponies about other ponies’ private lives, so to speak." Rainbow Dash shook her head. "No, you got it all wrong. We didn't do anything!" "Sure you didn't." Lyra winked "But hey, who am I to say anything? My marefriend and I enjoy something a little different from time to time as well." She turned and began to trot away. "Maybe you girls could let me borrow those cuffs. She's into that type of stuff. Anyways, see you two later!" She waved. Rainbow Dash was trying not to blush, trying to process what had just happened "Bu-but nothing happened," she said mostly to herself, as Lyra was out of earshot. Pinkie Pie, however, vigorously waved back to Lyra. "See ya later Lyra!" Dash looked at Pinkie, mortified. "What?" Pinkie asked innocently. "Why.Would.You.Do.That!" Rainbow Dash shouted, outraged. Pinkie frowned slightly "You're angry...aren't you?" "Really!?" Dash said "You finally figured it out!" Dash was about to shout again, but she noticed Pinkie's hurt expression. "Listen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled," Rainbow Dash grudgingly apologized. Pinkie Pie regained her usual happy expression immediately. "That's okay." She glanced towards the street. "We should go now if you still don't want to be seen...er, by anypony else that is." "Let's go then!" Dash said, sprinting out from behind the bush and towards Twilight's. Pinkie kept pace, and in a few moments they were outside the door. Pinkie Pie banged on the door until it was opened by a small dragon. "Hey, Spike!" Pinkie greeted "Is Twilight home?” "Yeah, she's right in the kitchen." Spike answered, noting the quiet and chained Rainbow Dash. Don't ask, you know that these ponies are insane. "Thanks!" Pinkie said as she and Dash ran into the library, and started towards the kitchen. They both entered the kitchen and found Twilight sitting at the table, with her head on it. Pinkie and Dash shared a look before going over to Twilight. Once they got nearer, they could make out her light snoring. Rainbow Dash poked her head, until Twilight stirred. "Hey! Wake up, Twi, we need some help!" Rainbow Dash shouted, causing Twilight to pick her head up off of the table. She had a disheveled mane, and partially bloodshot eyes. She held one of her hooves to her forehead, and winced. "Don't shout, I have a killer headache," she muttered quietly. Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yeah, I had one too." Twilight then really focused on the pair before her. "Why are you two hoofcuffed?" Twilight asked, in a raspy voice. Rainbow Dash groaned. "Well, we woke up like this, and we couldn't get 'em off." She pulled on her cuff for emphasis. "So Pinkie and I decided to see if you could use a spell or something to get it off." Pinkie nodded "Yea, it's fun hanging out with Dashie, but I think hanging out without the cuffs would be more fun." Twilight groaned "Well, why didn't you unlock them with the key?" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "We already thought about that, but neither Pinkie or I remember last night. " Twilight sighed. "I remember getting to Pinkie's and drinking some hard cider." She tried to clear her head, to no avail. "But everything's hazy after that." "So, can you get this off or not?" Rainbow Dash asked impatiently. "Well, I could use a spell to relive the memory." Twilight said "This way we can see where you left the key. I was studying it a few day's ago, when I forgot where I put a few books. Anyways, it shouldn't be too hard to cast." Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were quiet, while Twilight furrowed her brow in concentration. Her horn began to glow a light purple, and she felt her herself begin to sweat from the exertion. Her hangover was really putting a strain on her magic, and she had to focus really hard on the spell to make sure it worked correctly. With her headache intensifying, she closed her eyes and her horn exploded in a purple light. Twilight nervously opened her eyes, and found Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie staring into nothing with a faint purple tint to their eyes. It looked like it worked, Twilight thought before she laid her head back onto the table and fell asleep. Author's Note A big thanks to IceboxFroggie for proofreading! Four Drunken Mares"You really think that you can outdrink me?" Rainbow Dash asked incredulously. Applejack smirked at the pegasus "Ah don't think, Ah know." She replied. Pinkie Pie and Twilight watched as the overly competitive mares glared at each other. They were all sitting around a table in Sugarcube Corner. Streamers, balloons, confetti, and other remnants of the party that ended only half an hour ago littered the floor. Rarity and Fluttershy had left when eveypony else had, but surprisingly Twilight had stayed. "Alright then, let's do this." Dash exclaimed, already more than a little intoxicated "You versus me." Pinkie gasped "Wait a second, I wanna have a drinking contest too!" She looked at Rainbow Dash and Applejack with puppy dog eyes. Rainbow Dash nodded "Okay, it's you and me Pinks." Pinkie shouted yay, before jumping into an empty chair next to Rainbow Dash. "So that means..." Applejack groaned, noticing the only other pony in the room that could be her partner "Twi, yer going ta have ta be my partner." She then glared at Rainbow Dash "How is that fair!? Ya get a mare that's ninety percent alcohol and sugar as yer partner, and Ah get Twilight!" "Hey!" Twilight piqued up, with an edge of irritation in her voice "I can do this Applejack, and we're going to win!" She smirked at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, only to find them desperately trying to hold in laughter. "Ooookay, whatever you say Twilight." Rainbow Dash grinned, chuckling. "Sugarcube, Ah ain't trying ta be mean, but Ah'd rather have Gummy as my partner." Applejack smiled sheepishly. Twilight glared daggers at them "Okay then, well let's make this interesting." This caught Rainbow Dash's attention "If Applejack and I win, then you two have to do whatever we say." Rainbow Dash beamed "Alright, if you two lose then you have to do whatever Pinkie and I say!" Applejack grinned "Well, Ah'm not one to lose easy, so Ah hope you two are ready ta lose." She poured hard cider into all of their glasses and lifted hers into the air "On three we-" She stared as Pinkie gulped down her own drink. "What?" Pinkie asked innocently "You said on three, and since you said three I thought we were starting." The three mares around her collectively face hoofed. *** The contest had been going well, after everypony had drank three mugs of cider it looked like nopony was going to quit. By the fourth mug they were all getting drunk, or in Twilight's case wasted. After the sixth mug Rainbow Dash and Twilight were laughing wildly at everything, and Applejack was slowly swaying back and forth mumbling about apples. Pinkie looked at them all with a smile, even her face had a light red tinge to it "Let's take a break from this." Pinkie said frowning "I've been sitting still for waaaaaaay too long." Applejack frowned "What? Why would we do that?" She was looking at Pinkie confusedly "Aren't we in the middle of me outdrinking ya and Dash?" "Hey!" Rainbow exclaimed, slamming her hoof onto the table; spilling her own mug "I'm wiping the floor with you girls!" She started laughing "Heh, wiping the floor with you...that's...that's a good one." She dissolved into disjointed giggles. Twilight laughed "Rainbow Dash! You're wasted. But I could take a little break." She got off of her chair and immediately collapsed onto the ground "Ughh, why is Equestria spinning." She gave a large snort of laughter before closing her eyes "This floor feels really nice, like a huge tile pillow." "Well maybe a little break couldn't hurt, Ah need ta stretch my legs anyways." Applejack conceded getting up from the table, and gingerly stepping over Twilight "And maybe those two will be a bit better." She glanced at the still giggling Dash. Rainbow Dash flapped her wings and slowly rose out of her seat. She was moving side to side at first, but after a few shakes of her head she managed to stay upright "How about a race, that way I can beat you in two things." Applejack laughed "Ya couldn't beat me if ya had a pony on yer back, and right now; ya look like ya can barely stand!" Rainbow Dash smirked "Oh yeah?" She turned to Pinkie who had been happily watching her drunk friends antics."Pinkie! climb on my back." She landed shakily next to Pinkie, and Pinkie immediately bounced out of her chair and onto Dash's back. The weight of Pinkie proved to be too much, and Rainbow Dash could only get a few inches off of the ground "If I was sober I could totally carry you." She frowned "How are we gonna do this if I can't carry Pinks?" Twilight picked her head off the floor, and said "Wait a minute, I have a solution!" Her horn glowed purple and for a moment nothing happened, but after a few seconds there was flash of light as a pair of hoofcuffs materialized out of thin air "Use those, so you girls can race...and we can go back to drinking, and stuff....Celestia I need more alcohol." Rainbow Dash picked them up "Do you just have hoofcuffs lying around?" Twilight shrugged "I thought I threw them out." She frowned as Rainbow Dash put her end of the cuff on her right forehoof, and Pinkie Pie put hers on her left forehoof "A few years ago, I was dating this mare who was into some freaky stuff." "You let us put this on!" Rainbow Dash shouted, her face was bright crimson. Twilight shrugged "Hey, I fixed your problem!" "I'm so going to get you after this is over!" Rainbow Dash shouted at her. Twilight grinned as another brilliant thought entered her head "How about if you girls win the race, I'll teleport the the key here." She smirked "But if you lose, then you have to wear them for a week!" "What?!" Rainbow Dash said "Why in Tartarus would we agree to that." "Well...I am the only pony who knows where the key is." She lost her smile "I think I know where it is, at least. Besides I'm a princess, so...it's like a royal decree." Applejack was laughing loudly, barely able to continue standing. Rainbow Dash was less than amused "Twilight I am going to fucking kill you!" She charged at her, but found herself falling onto her face. Pinkie Pie hadn't rhino charged at Twilight with her, and the chain was only so long. At this point Applejack was in tears, and even Pinkie was laughing "C'mon Dashie!" Pinkie grinned "Let's beat Applejack and then we can get this off." Rainbow Dash sighed "I'm too drunk for this." She picked herself off the floor and stood next to Pinkie Pie "Let's do this, I guess." Twilight piqued up again from the floor "First you girl's have to Pinkie Promise to agree to my terms, or...something." Rainbow Dash groaned "Sure, whatever. Let's just get this over with so we can go back to drinking our weight in cider." Applejack nodded stepping towards them "Twi when yer drunk, ya sure are something else." She chuckled lightly "Remind me ta drink with ya more often." Applejack and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie lined up next to each other "The first one who can run to the front door and back wins." She readied herself "One yer marks...get set...GO!" She exclaimed shooting forward. Applejack might have been drunk, but her speed wasn't too affected. She immediately took the lead, while Pinkie and Rainbow Dash tried to run in sync behind her. Even though Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were very fast themselves, they kept tripping over the chain and losing momentum. Still they were almost neck and neck as they reached the door, until they turned around a little to sharply. Pinkie found herself tripping over a certain toothless alligator, and fell down on her back. Rainbow Dash wasn't as fortunate however, and her face slammed into the tile ground. *** Rainbow Dash shook her head, as she was jarred out of her trance. She looked at Pinkie, who's eyes were still light purple. Did I get knocked out? She rubbed her head, I guess that explains why my headache was that bad this morning. She then looked at Twilight. I can't believe it, I never thought I say this but...I think I hate drunk Twilight. She reached out a hoof, and hit Twilight's head; causing her to spring up from the table "What was that for?" Twilight asked angrily as she was woken up from her peaceful slumber, yet again. "You..." Rainbow Dash started. Twilight didn't know what was going on, but the creepy grin on Dash's face was more than a little unsettling "You did this to me. And after it's off me, I am going to...well, I don't know what I'm going to do. but trust me, it'll be bad." At that moment, Pinkie was lifted from her trance. She shook her head, and rubbed her eyes "What'd I miss?" She asked, noticing the creepily smiling Rainbow Dash and Twilight's nervous expression. Rainbow Dash turned her attention to Pinkie "Do you remember what happened? I think I got knocked out after we tripped over Gummy." "Nope, I remember a little after the; but not much more. Nothing important happened though." She looked away from Dash Rainbow Dash was about to question why Pinkie's mood had shifted, but decided against it. There were more pressing concerns than whatever Pinkie was holding back "Twilight, get this off of us." Twilight frowned "That memory spell took a lot out of me, I don't think I can cast any more spells right now." She frowned at her friends expressions of disbelief "If you'll give me a few hours of sleep, I'll be able to help you find the key or break the cuffs. I'm surprised the memory spell worked correctly." Pinkie Pie frowned at her friends expression, Rainbow Dash was clearly at her wits end "Uh, why don't we go somewhere for a few hours and then come back to get these off?" She said trying to cheer her friend up. Rainbow Dash was silent for a moment, before nodding "Sure, as long as nopony else sees us. But were coming back in an hour!" Pinkie Pie grinned "That's the spirit Dashie!" She felt like there was something she was forgetting...Pinkie gasped loudly "Wait a minute, we Pinkie Promised to keep the hoofcuffs on for a week if we lost the race!" Rainbow Dash felt her left eye twitch "Pinkie, this is one Pinkie Promise you're going to have to break." Pinkie shook her head "But I never ever-" Rainbow Dash held a hoof up to her mouth "No." She then started trotting towards the back door "We'll hide out in the Whitetail Woods for a while, and then Twilight will get this off of us. Right?" Twilight didn't hear them, as she was already asleep and drooling on the kitchen table. What Happened Last Night?The sun had barely risen in Ponyville, but ponies were all ready out and about. Birds were chirping and the crisp morning air felt amazing. It really was a perfect morning, and Rainbow Dash would've loved to sleep through it, just like every other morning. Unfortunately, the sun had other plans. Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes as the bright intruding sunlight hit her face. Grimacing she immediately closed her eyes again. Ugh, my head feels worse than when I hit AJ's barn. Rainbow Dash made sure to look away from the awful sunlight before trying to open her eyes again. She felt exhausted, and her mouth was dry. When she opened her eyes again she wasn't blinded by the sunlight, but it was still making it hard to see. Yawning, she tried to get back to sleep but between her headache and the light, it was a futile effort. Pinkie's party must have gotten a little out of hoof, Rainbow Dash thought. I haven't had a hangover like this in forever, I can't even remember what happened last night. All she remembered was the start of the party, and the beginning of a drinking contest with...Pinkie. That explains it. Realizing that she couldn't sleep, Rainbow Dash decided that she might as well stretch her wings with a quick fly. Opening her eyes slowly, she gazed around her room while her eyes adjusted to the light. Blinking surprisingly, she looked around what she thought was her room. She was in Pinkie Pie's room at Sugarcube Corner.. She turned her head, and found Pinkie Pie sleeping soundly next to her, only her head not under the blankets. Wait a minute, did I spend the night here? Well, obviously I did or else I wouldn't be here.Rainbow Dash thought trying to remember last night. It was all a haze, but she could vaguely remember something about deciding to stay with Pinkie for some reason. It was weird, she normally remembered stuff that happened when she was drunk. Trying to concentrate made her headache worse, so Dash decided to go get some water. Some water will clear my head up, and then I can remember what happened last night. Rainbow Dash sat up and stretched. She threw the covers off of herself, and hopped off of the bed. Or, at least that's what she tried to do. Rainbow Dash felt something pull against her right forehoof, and she couldn't move it any further. What now? Dash thought turning around. After blinking a few times to see if she was seeing what she thought, Dash forgot all about her headache. Rainbow Dash stared at the metal hoof cuff around her hoof. ...What. Rainbow Dash shook her hoof and saw the chain rattle, she wasn't dreaming. It then dawned on her that she couldn't move further away because the other cuff was attached to something. Or, Somepony to be exact. This is not happening! Rainbow Dash didn't want to, but she forced herself to look at Pinkie, who had rolled over while she tried to leave the bed. Pinkie had the other side of the cuff around her left forehoof. The cool and confident Rainbow Dash looked like she was about to have a panic attack. With each passing second, she found she didn't want to know what happened last night. Not at all. Rainbow Dash tried unsuccessfully to pry the cuff off of her hoof. It wasn't budging, no matter how hard she pulled. All she managed to do was make her hoof hurt from the metal digging into her skin. Sighing she stared confusedly at the horrid device. Rainbow Dash was busy trying to unhook herself from Pinkie, and didn't notice her waking up. Opening her eyes Pinkie Pie stretched and yawned. She looked over and saw Rainbow Dash trying to remove the hoof cuff by trying to gnaw through the chain. Dash spat out the chain when she saw Pinkie looking at her "Uh, good morning?" Rainbow Dash said nervously. "Mornin Dashie!" Pinkie said happily, if she had a hangover, then it didn't seem to be bothering her. Pinkie then noticed the cuff around her own hoof. She raised an eyebrow before looking at Rainbow Dash, "I've never played this game before Dashie! What is it?" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed shaking the chain enthusiastically. Rainbow Dash shook her head "It's not a game! I want to know why you hoof cuffed me to you!" And why I woke up next to you with a hangover! Actually, I think that I'd rather not know the answer to that!. Pinkie Pie cocked her head "Uh, I didn't." Rainbow stared at her exasperatedly "C'mon Pinkie Pie, when I was drunk I probably had some sort of reason for this. But i seriously want this off me!" Pinkie Pie shrugged "I Pinkie Promise I didn't cuff you to me." "Ugh." Rainbow Dash dragged her hoofs down her face "Then who did it?" "I dunno Dashie." Pinkie replied tapping her chin "I don't really remember much of last night." "Me neither." Dash replied trying once again in vain to remove the cuff "Try to get yours off." Pinkie Pie tried to slip it off her hoof but it didn't move. After a few seconds of trying to remove it, Pinkie let go of it and shook her head. "Oh well." Pinkie looked at her cuff "I guess we'll just have to find the key, right?" She grinned. Rainbow Dash frowned "Well, how do you suppose we do that?" She said a little more sharply than she intended, her headache was coming back. and the sunlight was still streaming through the window. "Huh." Pinkie muttered as she looked it over " I don't really know." She gasped suddenly, startling Rainbow Dash. "I just realized!" Pinkie began. "Realized what?" Rainbow Dash asked hopefully. Pinkie beamed "I just realized I have a day off today!" Rainbow Dash facehoofed "C'mon Pinkie! Take this seriously! I want to get this stupid thing off of me." Her headache had returned in full force and this whole fiasco wasn't helping. "I guess we should try and pull the cuffs of again." Pinkie grinned "If we can't get it off, then we'll see if Twilight can get 'em off with her magic or something." "No!" Rainbow Dash immediately replied "We cannot go outside like this!" If other ponies saw this, I don't even know what they would think! "After we get this off, I want you to promise to never mention this ever again. Understand?" Pinkie Pie shrugged "Whatever makes you happy, Dashie." Rainbow Dash thought for a moment before an idea came to her "Follow me Pinkie, I know how to get this off." Pinkie Pie climbed over next to Rainbow Dash so that they both could get off the bed. They both hopped off the bed, making sure not to trip over each others hooves. The chain connecting the cuffs was about three feet long, so they couldn't really walk away from each other Once Dash and Pinkie we're standing, they started to walk out the door. They moved slowly at first, trying to get used to walking with the cuffs on. Rainbow Dash was slightly ahead of Pinkie Pie, and led her towards the upstairs bathroom after they left Pinkie's room. "So, what's your plan?" Pinkie Pie asked as they trotted through the hallway. "We go to the bathroom and run it under some hot water. We'll slip right out." Dash said confidently as she opened the door to the bathroom "Are you sure that that'll work?" Pinke said following Dash. Rainbow Dash smirked "Of course it'll work. When have any of my ideas not worked?" "Well, there was that one time you wanted to fly through tree branches for obstacle practice." Pinkie cheerfully said as Rainbow Dash glared. "Haha." Rainbow Dash laughed sarcastically. She needed to get this nuisance off of her, and at this point she couldn't tell if it was the cuffs or Pinkie herself. Ugh, I'm going to punch the pony who did this in the face. Rainbow Dash turned on the sink and held her hoof next to Pinkie's under the running water. After a minute of making sure that the cuffs were nice and wet, she looked at Pinkie. "Okay, Pinkie. On three we pull, and bam!" Rainbow Dash pointed at the cuff "This thing is off and I can go back to sleep at this ungodly hour." Pinkie Pie raised and eyebrow looking at the clock in the hallway "But it's eight in the morning." Rainbow Dash shook her head "I know, its horrible isn't it?" Turning off the water Rainbow Dash backed away from Pinkie Pie "Okay, now. Three...two...one!" She shouted pulling as hard as she could. Pinkie pulled as hard as she could, but the hoof cuffs weren't moving. "Pull harder!" Dash shouted. With a mighty tug Pinkie Pie tried to pull the cuff off, but accidentally tripped over the rug; causing her to fall backwards. Rainbow Dash's eyes went wide as she was forcefully pulled to the floor next to Pinkie Pie. "Ow..." Rainbow Dash groaned as she hit her head against the tile floor, Pinkie patted Dash on the head while she laid on the floor next to her "So...should we go see Twilight now, or after breakfast?" Rainbow Dash's response was a muffled sigh. This is going to be the worst day ever...
Getting To The LibraryRainbow Dash frowned at the wall. She was sitting on the floor of Pinkie's room, and was desperately trying to come up with a plan to leave without being seen. Pinkie, however had a smile on her face and was playing with her tail. "Can you help me come up with something!?" Rainbow Dash asked angrily. It was starting to bother her that Pinkie wasn't taking this seriously. "Come up with what?" Pinkie asked, seemingly oblivious to their situation. Rainbow Dash felt her left eye twitch. "A plan to get out of here!" "Well...there is a door." Pinkie said grinning at the flustered pegasus. Rainbow Dash sighed in frustration. "We can't just waltz out the front door!" Pinkie cocked her head. "Well, why not?" Rainbow Dash was at a loss. Pinkie just wasn't understanding the gravity of their situation "Listen, what do you think ponies will think if they saw us hoofcuffed together?" Pinkie tapped her hoof against her chin thoughtfully for a moment before she realized what Rainbow Dash was implying and started to blush. "Oh, I see what you mean..." Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yeah, it would be pretty embarrassing. So, help me come up with something so we can try and forget this." "Hmmm..." Pinkie started, "I wonder if anything did happen..." before Rainbow Dash shook her head vehemently. "Nope, nothing happened," Dash said quickly. "But we don't know for sure. We can't remember last night" Pinkie stated, shrugging. Dash looked her in the eyes."Pinkie, nothing happened, and, so help me Celestia, if you don't start helping me, I'm telling Rarity that you were the one who destroyed her dress," Rainbow Dash said, feeling a little sick from the fact that Pinkie might be right. Try as she might, Rainbow Dash still couldn't recall much from last night, and what she could was a haze. Pinkie gasped loudly. "You promised that you wouldn't! It was an accident and she can't know!" Pinkie was vividly imagining the unicorn’s rage. "She'll never forgive me! Please don't!" Pinkie pleaded shaking her hooves. "Fine, I won't tell her," Dash relented, "as long as we can get this over with." Pinkie nodded. "Well...there's always the back door. Or, we could try and launch ourselves across town with my-" "Back door!?" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "...That's right...there's a back door." Rainbow Dash facehoofed. Pinkie shrugged "You might have be overthinking this a teensy-tiny bit." She chuckled. Dash felt that if she had to endure this much longer, she'd go insane, and it had only been twenty minutes. "Okay, back door it is." Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash trotted downstairs to the kitchen, and headed to the back exit. Rainbow Dash poked her head out the door and looked around. Nopony was in sight. Better make this quick. Rainbow Dash pushed the door open all the way and stepped outside, frantically motioning for Pinkie to follow. "C'mon, we need to be fast." Pinkie Pie saluted before closing the door behind them. They started off slow, ducking behind bushes or whatever was nearby to avoid passing ponies. This continued for a few blocks, until they neared the tree house. Rainbow Dash thought that they were in the clear. By some miracle she and Pinkie managed to make it to Twilight's without being seen. Well, I shouldn't be surprised, I knew I could handle this, Dash thought with a smirk. Her self-gloating was interrupted by a small ahem from behind her. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash turned around to find a mint green pony staring at them. There was dead silence as each pony kept looking at one another. "...Hiya, Lyra!" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed to the pony. "Um, hi...Pinkie Pie" Lyra replied slowly, continuing to stare "Why are you two behind a bush...hoofcuffed together?" "There's a good explanation for this!" Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie Pie nodded. "Yeah, we woke up together drunk in my bed like this!" Pinkie grinned. Rainbow Dash's mouth gaped open, as did Lyra's. "PINKIE!" Dash shouted. "What? Did you want me to lie? Because lying's bad." Pinkie replied. "Yes! I wanted you to lie!" Rainbow Dash shouted, before turning back to Lyra. "Don't listen to her, she's insane. See, what really happened was that we were kidnapped by ninjas, then-" Lyra held up a hoof and interrupted her "It's fine, you don't have to explain anything." "Yeah, this is all just a big misunderstanding." Rainbow Dash gave a sigh of relief. "Please, don't tell anypony," Dash added hopefully. "Don't worry." Lyra smirked. "I don't go around telling ponies about other ponies’ private lives, so to speak." Rainbow Dash shook her head. "No, you got it all wrong. We didn't do anything!" "Sure you didn't." Lyra winked "But hey, who am I to say anything? My marefriend and I enjoy something a little different from time to time as well." She turned and began to trot away. "Maybe you girls could let me borrow those cuffs. She's into that type of stuff. Anyways, see you two later!" She waved. Rainbow Dash was trying not to blush, trying to process what had just happened "Bu-but nothing happened," she said mostly to herself, as Lyra was out of earshot. Pinkie Pie, however, vigorously waved back to Lyra. "See ya later Lyra!" Dash looked at Pinkie, mortified. "What?" Pinkie asked innocently. "Why.Would.You.Do.That!" Rainbow Dash shouted, outraged. Pinkie frowned slightly "You're angry...aren't you?" "Really!?" Dash said "You finally figured it out!" Dash was about to shout again, but she noticed Pinkie's hurt expression. "Listen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled," Rainbow Dash grudgingly apologized. Pinkie Pie regained her usual happy expression immediately. "That's okay." She glanced towards the street. "We should go now if you still don't want to be seen...er, by anypony else that is." "Let's go then!" Dash said, sprinting out from behind the bush and towards Twilight's. Pinkie kept pace, and in a few moments they were outside the door. Pinkie Pie banged on the door until it was opened by a small dragon. "Hey, Spike!" Pinkie greeted "Is Twilight home?” "Yeah, she's right in the kitchen." Spike answered, noting the quiet and chained Rainbow Dash. Don't ask, you know that these ponies are insane. "Thanks!" Pinkie said as she and Dash ran into the library, and started towards the kitchen. They both entered the kitchen and found Twilight sitting at the table, with her head on it. Pinkie and Dash shared a look before going over to Twilight. Once they got nearer, they could make out her light snoring. Rainbow Dash poked her head, until Twilight stirred. "Hey! Wake up, Twi, we need some help!" Rainbow Dash shouted, causing Twilight to pick her head up off of the table. She had a disheveled mane, and partially bloodshot eyes. She held one of her hooves to her forehead, and winced. "Don't shout, I have a killer headache," she muttered quietly. Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yeah, I had one too." Twilight then really focused on the pair before her. "Why are you two hoofcuffed?" Twilight asked, in a raspy voice. Rainbow Dash groaned. "Well, we woke up like this, and we couldn't get 'em off." She pulled on her cuff for emphasis. "So Pinkie and I decided to see if you could use a spell or something to get it off." Pinkie nodded "Yea, it's fun hanging out with Dashie, but I think hanging out without the cuffs would be more fun." Twilight groaned "Well, why didn't you unlock them with the key?" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "We already thought about that, but neither Pinkie or I remember last night. " Twilight sighed. "I remember getting to Pinkie's and drinking some hard cider." She tried to clear her head, to no avail. "But everything's hazy after that." "So, can you get this off or not?" Rainbow Dash asked impatiently. "Well, I could use a spell to relive the memory." Twilight said "This way we can see where you left the key. I was studying it a few day's ago, when I forgot where I put a few books. Anyways, it shouldn't be too hard to cast." Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were quiet, while Twilight furrowed her brow in concentration. Her horn began to glow a light purple, and she felt her herself begin to sweat from the exertion. Her hangover was really putting a strain on her magic, and she had to focus really hard on the spell to make sure it worked correctly. With her headache intensifying, she closed her eyes and her horn exploded in a purple light. Twilight nervously opened her eyes, and found Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie staring into nothing with a faint purple tint to their eyes. It looked like it worked, Twilight thought before she laid her head back onto the table and fell asleep. Author's Note A big thanks to IceboxFroggie for proofreading!
Four Drunken Mares"You really think that you can outdrink me?" Rainbow Dash asked incredulously. Applejack smirked at the pegasus "Ah don't think, Ah know." She replied. Pinkie Pie and Twilight watched as the overly competitive mares glared at each other. They were all sitting around a table in Sugarcube Corner. Streamers, balloons, confetti, and other remnants of the party that ended only half an hour ago littered the floor. Rarity and Fluttershy had left when eveypony else had, but surprisingly Twilight had stayed. "Alright then, let's do this." Dash exclaimed, already more than a little intoxicated "You versus me." Pinkie gasped "Wait a second, I wanna have a drinking contest too!" She looked at Rainbow Dash and Applejack with puppy dog eyes. Rainbow Dash nodded "Okay, it's you and me Pinks." Pinkie shouted yay, before jumping into an empty chair next to Rainbow Dash. "So that means..." Applejack groaned, noticing the only other pony in the room that could be her partner "Twi, yer going ta have ta be my partner." She then glared at Rainbow Dash "How is that fair!? Ya get a mare that's ninety percent alcohol and sugar as yer partner, and Ah get Twilight!" "Hey!" Twilight piqued up, with an edge of irritation in her voice "I can do this Applejack, and we're going to win!" She smirked at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, only to find them desperately trying to hold in laughter. "Ooookay, whatever you say Twilight." Rainbow Dash grinned, chuckling. "Sugarcube, Ah ain't trying ta be mean, but Ah'd rather have Gummy as my partner." Applejack smiled sheepishly. Twilight glared daggers at them "Okay then, well let's make this interesting." This caught Rainbow Dash's attention "If Applejack and I win, then you two have to do whatever we say." Rainbow Dash beamed "Alright, if you two lose then you have to do whatever Pinkie and I say!" Applejack grinned "Well, Ah'm not one to lose easy, so Ah hope you two are ready ta lose." She poured hard cider into all of their glasses and lifted hers into the air "On three we-" She stared as Pinkie gulped down her own drink. "What?" Pinkie asked innocently "You said on three, and since you said three I thought we were starting." The three mares around her collectively face hoofed. *** The contest had been going well, after everypony had drank three mugs of cider it looked like nopony was going to quit. By the fourth mug they were all getting drunk, or in Twilight's case wasted. After the sixth mug Rainbow Dash and Twilight were laughing wildly at everything, and Applejack was slowly swaying back and forth mumbling about apples. Pinkie looked at them all with a smile, even her face had a light red tinge to it "Let's take a break from this." Pinkie said frowning "I've been sitting still for waaaaaaay too long." Applejack frowned "What? Why would we do that?" She was looking at Pinkie confusedly "Aren't we in the middle of me outdrinking ya and Dash?" "Hey!" Rainbow exclaimed, slamming her hoof onto the table; spilling her own mug "I'm wiping the floor with you girls!" She started laughing "Heh, wiping the floor with you...that's...that's a good one." She dissolved into disjointed giggles. Twilight laughed "Rainbow Dash! You're wasted. But I could take a little break." She got off of her chair and immediately collapsed onto the ground "Ughh, why is Equestria spinning." She gave a large snort of laughter before closing her eyes "This floor feels really nice, like a huge tile pillow." "Well maybe a little break couldn't hurt, Ah need ta stretch my legs anyways." Applejack conceded getting up from the table, and gingerly stepping over Twilight "And maybe those two will be a bit better." She glanced at the still giggling Dash. Rainbow Dash flapped her wings and slowly rose out of her seat. She was moving side to side at first, but after a few shakes of her head she managed to stay upright "How about a race, that way I can beat you in two things." Applejack laughed "Ya couldn't beat me if ya had a pony on yer back, and right now; ya look like ya can barely stand!" Rainbow Dash smirked "Oh yeah?" She turned to Pinkie who had been happily watching her drunk friends antics."Pinkie! climb on my back." She landed shakily next to Pinkie, and Pinkie immediately bounced out of her chair and onto Dash's back. The weight of Pinkie proved to be too much, and Rainbow Dash could only get a few inches off of the ground "If I was sober I could totally carry you." She frowned "How are we gonna do this if I can't carry Pinks?" Twilight picked her head off the floor, and said "Wait a minute, I have a solution!" Her horn glowed purple and for a moment nothing happened, but after a few seconds there was flash of light as a pair of hoofcuffs materialized out of thin air "Use those, so you girls can race...and we can go back to drinking, and stuff....Celestia I need more alcohol." Rainbow Dash picked them up "Do you just have hoofcuffs lying around?" Twilight shrugged "I thought I threw them out." She frowned as Rainbow Dash put her end of the cuff on her right forehoof, and Pinkie Pie put hers on her left forehoof "A few years ago, I was dating this mare who was into some freaky stuff." "You let us put this on!" Rainbow Dash shouted, her face was bright crimson. Twilight shrugged "Hey, I fixed your problem!" "I'm so going to get you after this is over!" Rainbow Dash shouted at her. Twilight grinned as another brilliant thought entered her head "How about if you girls win the race, I'll teleport the the key here." She smirked "But if you lose, then you have to wear them for a week!" "What?!" Rainbow Dash said "Why in Tartarus would we agree to that." "Well...I am the only pony who knows where the key is." She lost her smile "I think I know where it is, at least. Besides I'm a princess, so...it's like a royal decree." Applejack was laughing loudly, barely able to continue standing. Rainbow Dash was less than amused "Twilight I am going to fucking kill you!" She charged at her, but found herself falling onto her face. Pinkie Pie hadn't rhino charged at Twilight with her, and the chain was only so long. At this point Applejack was in tears, and even Pinkie was laughing "C'mon Dashie!" Pinkie grinned "Let's beat Applejack and then we can get this off." Rainbow Dash sighed "I'm too drunk for this." She picked herself off the floor and stood next to Pinkie Pie "Let's do this, I guess." Twilight piqued up again from the floor "First you girl's have to Pinkie Promise to agree to my terms, or...something." Rainbow Dash groaned "Sure, whatever. Let's just get this over with so we can go back to drinking our weight in cider." Applejack nodded stepping towards them "Twi when yer drunk, ya sure are something else." She chuckled lightly "Remind me ta drink with ya more often." Applejack and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie lined up next to each other "The first one who can run to the front door and back wins." She readied herself "One yer marks...get set...GO!" She exclaimed shooting forward. Applejack might have been drunk, but her speed wasn't too affected. She immediately took the lead, while Pinkie and Rainbow Dash tried to run in sync behind her. Even though Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were very fast themselves, they kept tripping over the chain and losing momentum. Still they were almost neck and neck as they reached the door, until they turned around a little to sharply. Pinkie found herself tripping over a certain toothless alligator, and fell down on her back. Rainbow Dash wasn't as fortunate however, and her face slammed into the tile ground. *** Rainbow Dash shook her head, as she was jarred out of her trance. She looked at Pinkie, who's eyes were still light purple. Did I get knocked out? She rubbed her head, I guess that explains why my headache was that bad this morning. She then looked at Twilight. I can't believe it, I never thought I say this but...I think I hate drunk Twilight. She reached out a hoof, and hit Twilight's head; causing her to spring up from the table "What was that for?" Twilight asked angrily as she was woken up from her peaceful slumber, yet again. "You..." Rainbow Dash started. Twilight didn't know what was going on, but the creepy grin on Dash's face was more than a little unsettling "You did this to me. And after it's off me, I am going to...well, I don't know what I'm going to do. but trust me, it'll be bad." At that moment, Pinkie was lifted from her trance. She shook her head, and rubbed her eyes "What'd I miss?" She asked, noticing the creepily smiling Rainbow Dash and Twilight's nervous expression. Rainbow Dash turned her attention to Pinkie "Do you remember what happened? I think I got knocked out after we tripped over Gummy." "Nope, I remember a little after the; but not much more. Nothing important happened though." She looked away from Dash Rainbow Dash was about to question why Pinkie's mood had shifted, but decided against it. There were more pressing concerns than whatever Pinkie was holding back "Twilight, get this off of us." Twilight frowned "That memory spell took a lot out of me, I don't think I can cast any more spells right now." She frowned at her friends expressions of disbelief "If you'll give me a few hours of sleep, I'll be able to help you find the key or break the cuffs. I'm surprised the memory spell worked correctly." Pinkie Pie frowned at her friends expression, Rainbow Dash was clearly at her wits end "Uh, why don't we go somewhere for a few hours and then come back to get these off?" She said trying to cheer her friend up. Rainbow Dash was silent for a moment, before nodding "Sure, as long as nopony else sees us. But were coming back in an hour!" Pinkie Pie grinned "That's the spirit Dashie!" She felt like there was something she was forgetting...Pinkie gasped loudly "Wait a minute, we Pinkie Promised to keep the hoofcuffs on for a week if we lost the race!" Rainbow Dash felt her left eye twitch "Pinkie, this is one Pinkie Promise you're going to have to break." Pinkie shook her head "But I never ever-" Rainbow Dash held a hoof up to her mouth "No." She then started trotting towards the back door "We'll hide out in the Whitetail Woods for a while, and then Twilight will get this off of us. Right?" Twilight didn't hear them, as she was already asleep and drooling on the kitchen table.
What Happened Last Night?The sun had barely risen in Ponyville, but ponies were all ready out and about. Birds were chirping and the crisp morning air felt amazing. It really was a perfect morning, and Rainbow Dash would've loved to sleep through it, just like every other morning. Unfortunately, the sun had other plans. Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes as the bright intruding sunlight hit her face. Grimacing she immediately closed her eyes again. Ugh, my head feels worse than when I hit AJ's barn. Rainbow Dash made sure to look away from the awful sunlight before trying to open her eyes again. She felt exhausted, and her mouth was dry. When she opened her eyes again she wasn't blinded by the sunlight, but it was still making it hard to see. Yawning, she tried to get back to sleep but between her headache and the light, it was a futile effort. Pinkie's party must have gotten a little out of hoof, Rainbow Dash thought. I haven't had a hangover like this in forever, I can't even remember what happened last night. All she remembered was the start of the party, and the beginning of a drinking contest with...Pinkie. That explains it. Realizing that she couldn't sleep, Rainbow Dash decided that she might as well stretch her wings with a quick fly. Opening her eyes slowly, she gazed around her room while her eyes adjusted to the light. Blinking surprisingly, she looked around what she thought was her room. She was in Pinkie Pie's room at Sugarcube Corner.. She turned her head, and found Pinkie Pie sleeping soundly next to her, only her head not under the blankets. Wait a minute, did I spend the night here? Well, obviously I did or else I wouldn't be here.Rainbow Dash thought trying to remember last night. It was all a haze, but she could vaguely remember something about deciding to stay with Pinkie for some reason. It was weird, she normally remembered stuff that happened when she was drunk. Trying to concentrate made her headache worse, so Dash decided to go get some water. Some water will clear my head up, and then I can remember what happened last night. Rainbow Dash sat up and stretched. She threw the covers off of herself, and hopped off of the bed. Or, at least that's what she tried to do. Rainbow Dash felt something pull against her right forehoof, and she couldn't move it any further. What now? Dash thought turning around. After blinking a few times to see if she was seeing what she thought, Dash forgot all about her headache. Rainbow Dash stared at the metal hoof cuff around her hoof. ...What. Rainbow Dash shook her hoof and saw the chain rattle, she wasn't dreaming. It then dawned on her that she couldn't move further away because the other cuff was attached to something. Or, Somepony to be exact. This is not happening! Rainbow Dash didn't want to, but she forced herself to look at Pinkie, who had rolled over while she tried to leave the bed. Pinkie had the other side of the cuff around her left forehoof. The cool and confident Rainbow Dash looked like she was about to have a panic attack. With each passing second, she found she didn't want to know what happened last night. Not at all. Rainbow Dash tried unsuccessfully to pry the cuff off of her hoof. It wasn't budging, no matter how hard she pulled. All she managed to do was make her hoof hurt from the metal digging into her skin. Sighing she stared confusedly at the horrid device. Rainbow Dash was busy trying to unhook herself from Pinkie, and didn't notice her waking up. Opening her eyes Pinkie Pie stretched and yawned. She looked over and saw Rainbow Dash trying to remove the hoof cuff by trying to gnaw through the chain. Dash spat out the chain when she saw Pinkie looking at her "Uh, good morning?" Rainbow Dash said nervously. "Mornin Dashie!" Pinkie said happily, if she had a hangover, then it didn't seem to be bothering her. Pinkie then noticed the cuff around her own hoof. She raised an eyebrow before looking at Rainbow Dash, "I've never played this game before Dashie! What is it?" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed shaking the chain enthusiastically. Rainbow Dash shook her head "It's not a game! I want to know why you hoof cuffed me to you!" And why I woke up next to you with a hangover! Actually, I think that I'd rather not know the answer to that!. Pinkie Pie cocked her head "Uh, I didn't." Rainbow stared at her exasperatedly "C'mon Pinkie Pie, when I was drunk I probably had some sort of reason for this. But i seriously want this off me!" Pinkie Pie shrugged "I Pinkie Promise I didn't cuff you to me." "Ugh." Rainbow Dash dragged her hoofs down her face "Then who did it?" "I dunno Dashie." Pinkie replied tapping her chin "I don't really remember much of last night." "Me neither." Dash replied trying once again in vain to remove the cuff "Try to get yours off." Pinkie Pie tried to slip it off her hoof but it didn't move. After a few seconds of trying to remove it, Pinkie let go of it and shook her head. "Oh well." Pinkie looked at her cuff "I guess we'll just have to find the key, right?" She grinned. Rainbow Dash frowned "Well, how do you suppose we do that?" She said a little more sharply than she intended, her headache was coming back. and the sunlight was still streaming through the window. "Huh." Pinkie muttered as she looked it over " I don't really know." She gasped suddenly, startling Rainbow Dash. "I just realized!" Pinkie began. "Realized what?" Rainbow Dash asked hopefully. Pinkie beamed "I just realized I have a day off today!" Rainbow Dash facehoofed "C'mon Pinkie! Take this seriously! I want to get this stupid thing off of me." Her headache had returned in full force and this whole fiasco wasn't helping. "I guess we should try and pull the cuffs of again." Pinkie grinned "If we can't get it off, then we'll see if Twilight can get 'em off with her magic or something." "No!" Rainbow Dash immediately replied "We cannot go outside like this!" If other ponies saw this, I don't even know what they would think! "After we get this off, I want you to promise to never mention this ever again. Understand?" Pinkie Pie shrugged "Whatever makes you happy, Dashie." Rainbow Dash thought for a moment before an idea came to her "Follow me Pinkie, I know how to get this off." Pinkie Pie climbed over next to Rainbow Dash so that they both could get off the bed. They both hopped off the bed, making sure not to trip over each others hooves. The chain connecting the cuffs was about three feet long, so they couldn't really walk away from each other Once Dash and Pinkie we're standing, they started to walk out the door. They moved slowly at first, trying to get used to walking with the cuffs on. Rainbow Dash was slightly ahead of Pinkie Pie, and led her towards the upstairs bathroom after they left Pinkie's room. "So, what's your plan?" Pinkie Pie asked as they trotted through the hallway. "We go to the bathroom and run it under some hot water. We'll slip right out." Dash said confidently as she opened the door to the bathroom "Are you sure that that'll work?" Pinke said following Dash. Rainbow Dash smirked "Of course it'll work. When have any of my ideas not worked?" "Well, there was that one time you wanted to fly through tree branches for obstacle practice." Pinkie cheerfully said as Rainbow Dash glared. "Haha." Rainbow Dash laughed sarcastically. She needed to get this nuisance off of her, and at this point she couldn't tell if it was the cuffs or Pinkie herself. Ugh, I'm going to punch the pony who did this in the face. Rainbow Dash turned on the sink and held her hoof next to Pinkie's under the running water. After a minute of making sure that the cuffs were nice and wet, she looked at Pinkie. "Okay, Pinkie. On three we pull, and bam!" Rainbow Dash pointed at the cuff "This thing is off and I can go back to sleep at this ungodly hour." Pinkie Pie raised and eyebrow looking at the clock in the hallway "But it's eight in the morning." Rainbow Dash shook her head "I know, its horrible isn't it?" Turning off the water Rainbow Dash backed away from Pinkie Pie "Okay, now. Three...two...one!" She shouted pulling as hard as she could. Pinkie pulled as hard as she could, but the hoof cuffs weren't moving. "Pull harder!" Dash shouted. With a mighty tug Pinkie Pie tried to pull the cuff off, but accidentally tripped over the rug; causing her to fall backwards. Rainbow Dash's eyes went wide as she was forcefully pulled to the floor next to Pinkie Pie. "Ow..." Rainbow Dash groaned as she hit her head against the tile floor, Pinkie patted Dash on the head while she laid on the floor next to her "So...should we go see Twilight now, or after breakfast?" Rainbow Dash's response was a muffled sigh. This is going to be the worst day ever...
