Chapter 2: The sad mare by the fireplace
When I entered the house, everything seemed so quiet. It seemed like something was missing.....but what was it? Then, a blue earth pony came into view. A look of sorrow was on her face, and her rainbow mane was strangely dull.
" Wooden floor. I had to put it in because I'm not a pegasus anymore."
Not a pegasus anymore?? What the hay was this pony talking about?
" Come sit down. I know you are probably confused of why I said those words."
I used my horn to place a cushion where I was going to sit. The mare's face glistened in the reflection of the fire. I fumbled with my mane before saying,
" Excuse me, but I'm here to see miss Dash."
I put my most formal voice on. The mare laughed.
" Silly! I am Rainbow Dash!"
After a quick drink, I settled down to hear Rainbow's story. Her mane seemed to be brighter now, and her eyes were full of joy. I pointed this out, and Rainbow Dash smiled.
"Well I suppose you remind me of her, always pointing out the positive. Its about time you heard my story..."
Rainbow grumbled. She had been waiting at the biggest party of the year for a very special pony...The host! Pinkie said she'd be there, and everypony had arrived but her.
"Come on y'all. It looks like this hoedown has been called off."
AppleJack sighed. Twilight nodded, and she,Spike and AJ took off. Rarity did not want to leave a friend at a party, but she came up with the excuse that ' I need to finish some dresses'. Soon, Fluttershy did the same. The CMC eventually left, although it took some persuading to make Scootaloo leave her idol. One after one, ponies left.
"Blossomforth, come back! Cloudchaser, Snowflake, don't leave me hangin! Pipsqueak, Viynl, Octi, Rumble, Derpy,Doctor my man! Stay a bit longer! She'll arrive soon! Carrot Top, Colgate, Lyra and Bon Bon, I can't wait for her by myself!"
Shouted Rainbow Dash. After and hour, Pinkie came bursting in on a strange contraption. It had two wings made out of polystyrene, balloons tied to the top and a rubber ducky tied to the rim.
"What time do you call this!"
RD screamed. Pinkie apologized, but Rainbow didn't stop there.
"I've been waiting for you for an hour! Don't ever be late again!"
Pinkie Pie apologized again.
" I cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye that I'll never be late again."
Rainbow was cooled by this. She took off leaving Pinkie wondering how not to be late.
Back in the living room, Rainbow was crying. I comforted her, and asked her what was the matter.
"And that,"
She said
"was the last I ever saw of Pinkameana Dianne Pie."
Chapter 1: Looking for a story
I stepped out. The crowd was calling my name. "Clue Searcher! Clue Searcher!" Ponies gathered round me, the most famous detective. Stallions whistled at me. I winked at them. Suddenly, a beeping noise sounded through the crowds and everypony seemed to melt away. I suddenly realised it was my alarm clock, and my not-so-celebrity-like life was off again. I immediately jumped out of bed (well, slowly fell out of bed) and turned the stupid thing off.
"Game Boy! Can you get the Oatabix out of the cupboard?"
I called to my younger brother downstairs. Our Mother had died when we were young, and I had promised Mum I'd look after Game Boy. Now, he shares my rented flat and plays on the P box all day. I marched downstairs to make sure he wasn't already on FIFA.
Sure enough, Game was already on P box live talking to somepony named 'Matty'. I unplugged the wire that was connected to the console and scowled at him. He simply shrugged, before plugging it back in.
"Didn't you hear me! I wanted you to get the Oatabix out! Just because you're younger than me doesn't mean you can't do your share of work!"
I was red in the face. Game just laughed, before returning to his match. I walked off, ignoring my brother's stupidity and went to have my breakfast.
I sat down, placing my breakfast in front of me. I fetched the newspaper from the doorstep and placed it next to my Oatibix. I often looked for juicy gossip, for I needed a story. I had almost been fired by my boss at the detective agency due to the fact I hadn't had a story for months. I managed to persuade him that I would find a story, and that's what I've been trying to do. Suddenly, the front page caught my eye.
"But...how could this be...it's impossible!"
I murmured to myself. I arose from my chair and fastened my saddle bag tight. I shoved the newspaper in my bag, then wrote a note on the fridge to my brother. I tore down the street before reaching inside my saddle bag.
"Yes that was the address. 231 Flyer Lane, Cloudsdale."
I said before arriving at the front door of my new client's house, Rainbow Dash.
After the showdown with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie hopped on home. As she bounced along, she thought of Dashie's words. How was she going to not be late for the next party? She had Pinkie promised that she wouldn't be late. The next day was Mr. Carrot Cake's birthday at the town hall.
"Well, how am I supposed to get to the party on time? I'll just have to make an even CRAZIER contraption than last time! I mean *snort* HOW do you get crazier than a contraption with POLYSTYRENE wings! Well maybe I'll make real wings..."
At that moment,Pinkie arrived at SugarCube corner. She knew EXACTLY what to make...
"Oh not again..."
Groaned RD as she waited on the front doorstep of the town hall. Where was she? She had promised she would be there, but no pony seemed to be around. Rainbow slowly turned to the door, had one last peek, and stepped inside. The party had been going on for a while, and the ponies were already having a good time on the dance floor. But where were Mr. and Mrs. Cake? At that moment, they both entered. Although it was Carrot's birthday, they both looked sad.
"I know you are all wondering where the games are, but our game holder seems to have gone..."
Sobbed Carrot.
"Come on dear, its your birthday, you need to enjoy it!"
"How can I enjoy life at a time of death??"
"Whhh-att do you mee-an gonnne..."
Cried Rainbow.
"This morning Pinkie Pie had made a vehicle because she didn't want to be 'late'"
Rainbow gulped.
"It could fly, this vehicle...so she took off to give it a test spin...and and and..."
Mr. Cake exploded into tears. Cup Cake cuddled him close, and they both left. Rainbow couldn't believe her ears.
"Pinkie...gone...and its all MY fault!!!!"
RD tore out of the building into the unusually cold night.
