New chapter is new
Birds sang and danced around one another in the air as Celestia's sun gave rise to a new day. It was the beginning of a beautiful day, the warmth of the sun wrapping itself around the ponies below. Though as it made its way through a window of sugarcube corner it fell upon the face of one Rainbow Dash, who was attempting to sleep off one of Pinkie Pies more intense parties.
The intruding sunlight rudely dragged her out of one of her best dreams yet and tossed her from the couch she had crashed on down to the cold unforgiving floor below. The mare grumbled to herself as she stood, stretching her wings and putting a hoof to her head.
"Ugh...thats the last time I drink at one of Pinkies parties..." the pegasus groaned.
"HI DASHIE!" Pinkie Pie yelled, causing Rainbow to clutch her head in pain.
"Geez Pinkie, not so loud..." Rainbow said, barely above a whisper.
"Oh, sorry. Hehe, thats what you get for challenging Applejack to a cider drinking contest." the baker sang, hopping on the tips of her hooves as she went about cleaning last nights mess merrily. Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"I was totally winning! ow..." Rainbow sighed, rubbing her hooves against her temples to try and calm the throbbing headache. Pinkie giggled quietly.
"Don't drink if you don't wanna pay the consequences Dashie." Pinkie Pie teased from the kitchen.
"yea yea...sorry for crashing here. I figured it wasn't a good idea to fly home." Rainbow Dash apologized. Pinkie only shook her head and smiled.
"You're always welcome Dashie and I'm glad you decided to stay. You said a lot of cute things in your sleep." Pinkie Pie pointed out as she hopped around a corner.
"Huh? Wait! Pinkie!" Rainbow raced after the Earth pony, tackling her to the ground.
"Whee! Do it again!" Pinkie laughed, clapping her hooves.
"What did you hear?" Rainbow whispered, recalling the dream she had that night.
"Oh, nothing much. Something about Books and stars and a unicorn." Pinkie said as if it were a list of ingredients for one of her sweets. Rainbow shook her head.
"Pinkie you gotta promise not to tell anypony!" Rainbow yelled, shaking Pinkie Pie by her shoulders.
"I-I-I-I wo-o-o-n't te-e-ell any-y-ypo-o-ny-y-y!" Pinkie managed to say, Rainbow finally letting go of her.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Nopony will hear from me that you like Twilight" Pinkie smiled, the sound of a bowl crashing against the ground echoed through the kitchen, Rainbow and Pinkie turning their heads to see Twilight Sparkle standing there in shock.
"oops..." Pinkie mumbled.
"Ah feel right down awful 'bout leavin so early last night. Ah hope th' girls ain't sore 'bout it..." Applejack admitted to Rarity as they made their way to Sugarcube Corner.
"I'm sure everything is fine dear. From what you told me it was quite the party. But knowing Pinkie Pie there probably isn't anything left for you to help with dear." Rarity pointed out.
"Ah know, but ah'd still like t' try an help out if ah can. Ah would've helped last night but Applebloom got hurt an ah had t' go take her t' th' hospital." Applejack sighed.
"Ah told that filly it was only a matter o' time before she broke somethin..." she mumbled, both ponies jumping in shock as Rainbow Dash tore through a window of Sugarcube corner with enough force to shake the entire building. Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie quickly running out of the sweet shop and chasing after her
"RAINBOW DASH WAIT!" Twilight called after her, sighing as the pegasus faded in the distance. Applejack and Rarity glanced at one another, quickly rushing to their friends side.
"What in Celestia's name is going on?" Rarity asked. Pinkie Pie hung her head.
"I broke a Pinkie Promise..." the mare said sadly.
"What? Ya'll ain't never broke a promise Pinkie"
"I KNOW! It was an accident! But...I still broke it...oh poor Dashie, I hope she's not mad..." Pinkie sulked, her mane falling flat against her.
"Why don't you explain from the beginning dear?" Rarity suggested.
