Twilight's day.

The day starts off with the violet pony waking from her slumber in a cool morning in Ponyville, walking downstairs her main thing to do is just simply go to the door and see what mail the Mail-pony has dropped off this morning. The average mail dropped is mainly the Ponyville times. The news paper was the only thing she would bother with to keep up on what's going on in Ponyville. The remainder of her morning is eating breakfast and getting started on reading the books in her library-if she got a new book, that would be the first to be read-that she had read already. The time around noon she would walk around and see what her friends were doing, first place she would stop by is Pinkie Pie's place, The Sugarcube Corner, where Pinkie Pie served as a helper to the Cake's.

The violet mare walks to the counter and waits for Mr or Mrs.Cake to ask one of the two where Pinkie Pie might be. The moment Mr.Cake stopped to see what she needed, the purple eyes of Twilight were almost distracted on finding out if Pinkie Pie was playing Hide-and-Seek with Twilight, or if the pink mare had ran off to go walk or meet up with one of her other friends. The curious mare noticed Mr.Cake and finally asked him

"Hello, Mr.Cake, have you seen Pinkie Pie anywhere today?"

The yellow/orange stallion looked at her and then thought about it for a few seconds, then replying

"I think she went off to go see what Rainbow Dash was up to, Have you checked there yet?"

The stallion turned around to see that some cupcakes were not completely frosted yet, and turned his unanimous attention towards them, grabbing frosting and a spatula to finish the job. The violet mare thought about it and remembered that Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash both like pranking other ponies, even if it was painting most of the apples on the apple orchard, or just a simple one such as placing a whoopee cushion on a chair at Sugarcube Corner.

The mare finally walks out and sets her path to find Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. The time it took was merely an hour before she found the rainbow colored tail popping out of a bush and called out for the mare

"Rainbow Dash!"

The pegasus popped out of the bush and looked around to see the deep amethyst eyes staring at her and the violet fur to realize it was her friend Twilight Sparkle. The moment she spotted Twilight, Pinkie jumped out from behind a tree to see the violet fur and amethyst eyes as well, both the ponies now wondering why the mare was looking for them particularly. The now relieved pony, Twilight walks up to them, and simply asks them both in a calm tone

"What are you guys doing out here hiding? I was beginning to wonder if you both were playing Hide-and-Seek in plain sight."

The sound of her voice was nearly playful, as if she wanted to know why they had started without her. The rainbow pony had already set herself on the ground after realizing she was still in the air, and came out saying

"The reason  we were hiding is because we decided to prank someone, didn't think we would get spotted by you."

The rose colored eyes gave a light and joyful tone to the mare that asked the question, and the pink mare followed her reply

"The other reason is because we wanted to see if someone would spot us before they fell for it! Since we already knew it would be practically 2 seconds after they fell for the prank, they wouldn't have spotted us, but then again if they were psychic and knew where we were, they would've spotted us, just like you twilight! The only one who could do that is Fluttershy, and we all know she has her critter friends who have sensitive ears enough to tell our breathing from our laughing and have enough sensitivity in their noses to smell us out before she even falls for it!"

The rainbow pony stared at her in confusion as to what she had said in 30 seconds, the violet mare had looked at the pink mare with a thought of pondering on what the energetic pony had just said. The pink pony finally directed her attention to the violet mare and said

"The point I'm trying to get across is that only Fluttershy would get a heads up before she fell for the trap thanks to her animal friends. The only other reason I brought that up is because you were about to until you spotted Rainbow Dash's tail. I can't blame you though, it's kind of easy to spot her, even if she is in the best hiding spot a pony would ever find, No offense Rainbow Dash."

The violet mare looked down at her hooves and realized she was about to pull a wire that would've poured flour on her fur. The mare had continued her day by simply going around the wire and telling her friends bye for now, and continued her day to go see AppleJack.

The orchard was mainly a business place for Applejack, but it continued on as if she had a haven to gain her strength from, other than that she had the apetite of a stallion and enjoyed her life on the farm. The mane of Twilight had caused Applejack to come out 2 seconds before she reached the door to knock, and said hi to the violet fur mare. The surprise of Applejack's appearance before she could even knock was not unusual, but was surprising that Applejack could get from upstairs in her room to downstairs in a minute to spare herself 5 seconds to open the door before the person could reach the door and knock. The orange mare looked at Twilight and said

"Howdy, Twilight, how ya doin' today?"

The purple mare responded

"Hi, Applejack, I came to see how you were doing, so what's up?"

The two kept a conversation for an hour before Twilight had looked at the time from Applejack's clock in the kitchen. The two said farewell to each other for the day, and Twilight went off to see her friend Fluttershy.

The cottage Twilight had known was very meticulously built to know which one was Fluttershy's. The cottage was only two minutes away before she spotted her pink and cyan friend on their way to Fluttershy's cottage as well. The purple mare kept her pace as Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash had rushed up to Fluttershy's door, having the yellow mare come out and look at the two mare's on her doorstep. She greeted them and noticed another mare walking up, and she realized instantly it was her friend Twilight, the purple mare walked up and kindly greeted Fluttershy. The two started a conversation and then the other two mares bumped in

"Oh, hey Twilight, remember earlier today?"

The pink mare said.

"I can't believe you spotted my tail, out of all things I thought I had hidden pretty well."

The cyan pegasus had said following the pink pony's recall on events earlier that day.

"The moment I had realized you spotted us, I nearly wanted to burst out laughing, and then I mentioned how Fluttershy would be the only one to know we were there before falling for the prank, remember?"

The pink mare with her light blue eyes said, which were staring contently at the violet pony. The kind pony the other's had arrived to see was just now realizing they were talking about a prank that Pinkie and Rainbow had set up. The three other mares were invited to come in and take a seat. Twilight sitting next to Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow sitting next to Fluttershy. The four ponies enjoyed a nice, quiet conversation about their day and having a good laugh thanks to Pinkie Pie. The purple mare had gone to Rarity's after staying and chatting with her friends for nearly an hour, and the day was coming to an end.

The boutique had been just as usual-not as busy as most people would think it should be. The whitecoated mare who works there, with her Sapphire eyes, and quite elegant mane, had looked busy as usual, not really much for keeping her generosity from elevating into making a whole new line based on the inspiration a pony could give off. The mare didn't notice too much, she was calm and hard working on a new line of clothes she just came up with, and Twilight herself was even more impressed when Rarity was making these clothes based off how smart Twilight is. The white coated mare turned around and greeted Twilight

"Oh, Hello dear, how are you today?"

The Sapphire eyes of Rarity focused themselves on Twilight briefly and then went back to her dresses. The purple mare looked around and said

"Hello Rarity, I came by to see how you were doing, and I'm doing fine, just having a good day."

The mare with her elegant mane turned to greet her friend with a friendly smile and walked over to Twilight, hugging her before saying she has to get back to work, The purple mare said her farewell and the dressmaker got back to her work.

The end of the day was near, and Twilight was almost tired to just walk in and pass out on her bed if she had the decision to do so, she still had two or three books she had to read before she would finally go to sleep. Since the day was much like she would normally expect, she wasn't all that tired, and it has been like that mainly everyday, only difference was that she had not expected to be as tired as she was, and that's when she realized there was still some daylight left for Sugarcube corner to be open, and she stopped by on her way there to get a treat for herself and Spike. The moment she got home, she was greeted by Spike, who had highly anticipated her arrival very carefully, and knew when to walk to the door and greet her.  The end of Twilight's day drew near, and the moon was already getting to the middle of the sky, the mare was tired, and she headed to bed after reading the books needed. The purple mare had fell asleep, after a long day of chatting and meeting with her friends.

Pinkie's day.

The pink energetic mare awakes from her happy and very exciting dreams, to get out of bed and work on her daily chores. The first of which, is getting some batter ready to make cupcakes. The mushy batter starts to become smoother as the pink mare mixing it continues to stir until she feels it's ready to be put into the cupcake tins with the cups in it. Although she likes making cupcakes, she had always dreaded having to wait for the baking to be done. The beginning of her day has started, and the eerie patience needed for finishing the cupcakes had her thinking of something to do until they were done. A huge amount of the batter was not used, and she found another tin to make cupcakes with, the pink mare grabbed the tin and began to pour more into it out of sheer boredom, and this had been one of her hobbies. The pink mare had many hobbies, and this was one of them, but she had nearly made this a perfection she had been doing.

"I think I better check on the cupcakes in the oven, I've been leaving it like that for about half an hour now." The occupied pony took a break from what she was doing and went to check on the cupcakes in the oven.

The cupcakes in the oven were done, and now all she had to do with them was unload them and frost them, which doing the frosting part was one of her favorite parts of making cupcakes, besides eating them that is. Since the cupcakes were now done, she had decided that it would be easier to let them cool down before unloading them. The job was a lot easier said than done, for she also had to wait to frost them, which required them to be unloaded. In order for her to keep her patience, she went back to what she was doing before making the decision to go check on the cupcakes that were in the oven, she was making batter for cookies, and had stopped before she had put the chocolate chips in, and when she did this, she decided to also just do a big circle so it would spread more evenly. The process worked, and she had less work to do and a lot easier things to do, after finishing the part of putting chocolate chips in it, she grabbed a wooden spoon and started stirring the batter and chocolate chips together. The time she had finished was about the time the cupcakes had finished cooling down enough for her to unload them a lot easier and not get in any hassle with the heat from the cupcakes that had emitted earlier. The early morning chores were almost done, and Mr. and Mrs. Cake had awoken to find her doing some of the morning chores before they could even start, and they thanked her in return by letting her take three cupcakes with her on her way to see Rainbow Dash.

"Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Cake! I'll see you later!" Pinkie said as she walked out the door. The cakes waving bye to her and allowing enough time to finish the cookies and cupcakes.

The joyful jumping of Pinkie had been somewhat a wonder about why she has never run out of breath, especially with how often she does it and how long she can sustain doing that. The question remained, but had a long answer that nobody but the one who originally came up with it actually understood, and that pony was Pinkie Pie herself, not seeming as smart as Twilight, she knew a lot more than she had let onto, she had said something about the 4th wall quite a few times, but no one she talked to believed the 4th wall could be broken, not even a pony like Twilight believed that with pinkie's figure and antics, could break the 4th wall, but as always and somewhat mysteriously random, Pinkie goes from one side of town to another in 5 seconds flat, and pops out of boxes at her own free will. The pink mare enjoys pulling these joyous surprises as much as she loves eating cupcakes, but her top favorite thing to do was make her friends smile, which in particular she was the element of harmony for, and doubting that is just about as bad as doubting she can break the 4th wall, and most ponies knew that even if it wasn't possible, Pinkie would still prove you wrong about the 4th wall. The hopping became a thing that not a single pony would be worried about anymore, especially with how much Pinkie understood it herself. The one place she was going to first had become her main destination to have fun with her friend Rainbow Dash. The two ponies loved pranking other ponies. All except one pony would ever fall for the pranks, and that one pony was FlutterShy, who as shy as she seemed to be, knew a lot more about the pranking duo, and could easily outsmart them and get them to fall for it themselves.

"Rainbow Daaaaaaaaash~!" The pink mare below had yelled to the house of Rainbow Dash, who in particular did not respond at first.

"Hey Pinkie! I was just about to fly over to your place and see if you wanted to prank some ponies!" The rainbow pegasus said before dropping from her house and floating down to land softly and with ease.

"Oh, silly, I came here to see if you would want to do that." The pink mare said with her light sky blue eyes looking at the cyan pegasus, whose rose red eyes looked back at her.

"The funny thing is we were both looking for eachother. I guess we might as well plan our prank now." The athlete told the party pony.

The two headed off for the supplies needed for the prank they were going to set up, and not a moment too soon they decided to pull a simple but complex prank, a flour bag in the tree, the pegasus hiding in a bush, and the pink mare hiding in the leaves of the tree. The prank has been set up, and the only hard part was waiting, and that's when they decided to use floss to be able to let the bag of flour drop and pour flour on the unsuspecting pony. Before the prank could be actually pulled, a voice in the distance had called to Pinkie's friend Rainbow Dash, and the pegasus popped out of the bush and flew past pinkie into the air to see who was calling out to her, the pink mare recovered her balance on the branches and looked to see who it was, and sure enough, her friend Twilight had seen her cyan friend before falling for the prank. The violet mare the two had popped out to see had nearly tripped the first wire which would have gotten the two to get ready to run. The second wire, would have gotten the bag of flour to pour it's contents all over the pony. The violet mare looked at the two and said

"What are you two doing out here? it almost seems as if you're playing hide and seek in plain sight"

The pink mare, and the other two had sat there and watched as the violet mare had soon bid them farewell.

The day had still continued on, and no one had really any idea what they would do next, all except for Pinkie, who at the moment only thought of pulling her party cannon out of no where and firing it at random on any surface which a bunch of decorations would appear from the resolution of the blast. The only other reason Pinkie had not pulled out her party cannon, was because everyone was not asking about a party, but more likely a hang out, so she had decided to let them have the chatting make up for a party.

The party pony and her friend Rainbow Dash headed out from Fluttershy's an hour after twilight did. This was not uncommon as most ponies would be getting ready to head to bed after a long day of play and fun and other stuff that both Rainbow and Pinkie could've done themselves. Although the day was almost over, they had still been energetic and decided to have Pinkie be the Bait and Rainbow pull the prank. Since it was just a thunder cloud, Rainbow knew she could just kick at it and let the roar of thunder boom out startling the pony that Pinkie was talking to. The tactic worked for about 5 ponies, except for the Three guards they ran into, they flew overhead and spotted Rainbow before she could do it, even if it was dusk.

The pink mare and her friend had called it a day after getting caught 4 times, and pranking 6 ponies. The two said their farewell, and pinkie had returned to Sugarcube Corner. The exhausted mare had went upstairs and got into bed falling asleep in a matter of seconds. The only thing that made it worth while was that most of the ponies got a good laugh out of all the pranks pulled that day. Pinkie fell asleep calmly, and had nothing more than a good dream about cupcakes, friends, and partying.
