The Bet (Don't let them know)

“I bet I could prank twice as many ponies as you,” Rainbow Dash said confidently.

“Oh yeah?” Pinkie Pie asked in mock defiance.

“Yeah, how about we have a little wager? Name your stakes Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash challenged. Pinkie Pie rubbed her chin as she thought for a long moment.

“How about the looser has to do whatever the winner says for a whole week!” Pinkie Pie said enthusiastically as she jumped in the air.

“You are so on!” Rainbow said with a grin. The two mares shook hooves, however Rainbow Dash was met with an uncomfortable shock. Pinkie Pie rolled on the grass laughing.

“Well, it looks like that’s one for me!” the pink mare said as she skipped away joyfully.

“Hey, that's not fair! Rainbow Dash called after the pink mare as she tried to suppress a smile.
The week was filled with the sound of laughter and whoopee cushions. No pony was safe from Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie’s pranks. Every apple was painted and every letter sent was in invisible ink.

“Ready to compare results?” Rainbow Dash asked smugly

“You betcha!” Pinkie Pie joyfully replied.

“ I was able to prank 12 ponies. Beat that Pinkie Pie!” Rainbow Dash said confidently.

“Wow! Good job Dashie! That sure is a lot of pranks, but not as much as me,” Pinkie said in a sing-song like voice.” I was able to prank 27 ponies and one zebra,” she said with a small chuckle.

“ 27 ponies?” Rainbow Dash asked in amazement.She could not comprehend pulling that many ponies in such a small amount of time. Rainbow Dash stared at Pinkie Pie with her mouth open wide in disbelief. Rainbow Dash suddenly realized what this meant. “ You mean...I lost?”

“Yup, and starting tomorrow, you have to do whatever I say for a whole week! This is going to be so much fun! Well, I have to get to Sugar cube Corner, those desserts aren't going to bake themselves! See you tomorrow Dashie!” Pinkie Pie said with a beaming smile as she bounced off. Rainbow Dash could do nothing but sit there with her mouth gaping open in astonishment.

Rainbow Dash flew to Sugar Cube Corner the next day with mixed feelings about the week to come. There was no telling what Pinkie Pie would have her do. Pinkie Pie was unpredictable, that was part of her charm. Rainbow Dash did not know what was going to be in store for her for the next seven days, but she knew that they certainly were not going to be ordinary. Rainbow Dash was greeted at the bakery door by Pinkie Pie bouncing up and down in the doorway energetically.

"Good morning Rainbow Dash," Pinkie Pie said with a large grin.

"Morning Pinkie," Rainbow Dash replied in a defeated tone. "So whats the plan? Do your choirs? Help you make cupcakes?"

" Nope, I figured that we could just go on a walk," Pinkie Pie said with a smile. Rainbow Dash stared at the pink mare in disbelief.

"Wait, you could have me do anything without question, and you want to go on a walk?"

"Yup, wait right here while I go in and get something," Pinkie Pie happily bounced back into Sugar Cube Corner and appeared a moment later holding a bright pink color and leash."Cute huh," she said with a giggle.

"Are we bringing Winona with us?" Rainbow Dash asked in confusion.

" No silly, this is for you! Now stand still while I fasted the color to you," Pinkie Pie said as she approached her friend. Rainbow Dash backed away from Pinkie Pie and the bright eye soar in her mouth.

"No! No way! I am NOT wearing a bright pink color and leash around town....especially not when other ponies can see me!" Rainbow Dash protested.

"But Dashie, we made a deal! You promised!" Pinkie Pie said with a pout. Rainbow Dash hung her head down, Pinkie Pie had a point, they made a deal and Rainbow Dash lost.

"Fine," Rainbow Dash said in defeat." Pinkie Pie quickly regained her smile.

"OK, how about we talk our walk where no pony can see us?"

"Relay? Well, I guess that wouldn't be too bad," Rainbow Dash said trying to cover up the relief in her voice.

"Yup, we can walk through the Everfree forest. I doubt any pony will see us there! Now, sit still and let me get this collar on you, I don't want to loose my pet Dashie," Pinkie Pie said as she used her teeth to fasten the pink color around Rainbow Dash's neck.

Pinkie Pie lead Rainbow Dash down the well worn trail through the trees in the Everfree forest.
“See? isn’t this fun Dashie?” Pinkie Pie said joyfully.
“Yeah great,” Rainbow Dash said as she rolled her eyes back sarcastically. “It is pretty nice out here,” she admitted. Rainbow Dash stopped suddenly, causing Pinkie Pie to slightly jerk her forward her with the leash.
“What is it Dashie?” Pinkie Pie inquired.
“I heard talking up ahead, it sounds like Lyra and Bon Bon,” Rainbow Dash said nervously. “I don’t want them to see me like this!”
“ Quick, run behind that tree!” Pinkie Pie said as she lead Rainbow Dash off of the path. Rainbow Dash quickly dove behind the tree and buried her head in the leaves.”Hi girls,” Pinkie Pie said to the two mares walking towards her.
“ Hi Pinkie Pie!” the duo said in unison.
“ What are you girls doing here in the Everfree Forest?” Pinkie Pie asked while trying to cover up her nervousness.
“ Oh, well Lyra wanted to pick some flowers and it is such a nice day for it! Hey, ummmm Pinkie Pie, why do you have an empty leash?” Bon Bon asked in confusion. Rainbow Dash could feel the sweat beating on her brow, there was no way to avoid it, she was going to be the laughing stock of PonyVille. Rainbow Dash began to pull herself up when she suddenly heard Pinkie Pie.
“What? Don’t you see him? This is my invisible dog Spot!” Pinkie Pie began to giggle. Lyra and Bon Bon looked at Pinkie Pie in confusion. “Get it, Spot, because you can’t see him!” Pinkie Pie continued. Rainbow Dash was finding it hard to suppress her laughter. The invisible dog prank was one of the oldest tricks in the book. “Don’t tell me NEITHER of you know the invisible dog trick!” Pinkie Pie said in astonishment.
“Mmmmm, can’t say we do, well it was nice seeing you Pinkie Pie, we all need to catch up sometime,” Lyra said as her and Bon Bon began to trot off. The whole situation was too ridiculous for Rainbow Dash to take and a small chuckle escaped from her mouth. “What was that?” Bon Bon asked in surprise. Rainbow Dash quickly cuffed her hooves over her mouth.
“Oh that was me, I just think that the invisible dog trick is so funny I can’t control myself,” Pinkie Pie quickly said.
“No, it couldn't have been you I heard, I know your laugh when I hear it,” Bon Bon said with a smile.
“You know what, it almost sounded like Rainbow Dash,” Lyra added.
“ Oh THAT, yeah I have,ummm I have been working on my Rainbow Dash impression!” Pinkie Pie said with a nervous chuckle.” See listen,” Pinkie Pie said as she nudged Rainbow Dash with her hoof. Rainbow Dash began to chuckle and Pinkie PIe began to move her mouth up and down.
“Oh,well, very convincing Pinkie Pie, good job,” Lyra said.
“ Bye Pinkie,” Bon Bon said as the two turned and left. After Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were certain that Lyra and Bon Bon were gone Rainbow Dash emerged from behind the tree.
“ Nice cover,” Rainbow Dash said as she playfully smacked Pinkie Pie’s back.” that was close.”
“Yeah, lets agree to be more cautious on the way back,” Pinkie Pie said playfully.

I am not 100% satisfied with the opening, so I may go back and change it. I would appreciate any feedback.

End of the week?

Rainbow Dash flew over to Sugar Cube corner feeling excited to spend the day with Pinkie Pie again. Over the course of the week, Rainbow Dash had really come to enjoy the quality time she was spending with Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash was surprised to find that Pinkie Pie was not waiting outsider for her as she usually did. Rainbow Dash knocked on the door and was greeted by Mr. Cake.

“Good morning Mr. Cake. Is Pinkie Pie around?”

“Oh of course. Let me go and get her for you,” the orange colt said. Moments later, Pinkie Pie stuck her head threw the doorway.

“Good morning Rainbow Dash, I didn’t expect to see you this morning,” the pink mare said with more enthusiasm than is generally allowed so early in the morning.

“Why weren’t you expecting me?” Rainbow Dash asked as she raised her eyebrows in puzzlement.

“The week is over silly. You don’t have to do whatever I say anymore, “ Pinkie said with a small chuckle.

“Oh, alright,” Rainbow Dash said in disappointment.

“Yeah, so I guess I’ll see you around,” the pink pony replied. Rainbow Dash could tell that Pinkie Pie was also disappointed by the end of their pet play dates.

“You know Pinkie, just because the bet it over, doesn't mean we have to stop our get together,” Rainbow Dash suggested. Pinkie Pie jumped into the air with obvious excitement.

“Rainbow Dash that's a great idea!” Pinkie Pie called out. “I’ll go get your collar.” Pinkie Pie ran back inside the sweet shop and returned with the pink collar and leash Dash became so accustomed to. “Time for our walk my little Dashie,” Pinkie Pie said in a childish voice as she fastened the collar around the Pegasus's neck and attached the leash.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash began to walk down their familiar path in the Everfree Forest side by side with one another.

“I really enjoy our play time together,” Pinkie Pie said as she pet Dash on top of the head. Every time Pinkie Pie pet Dash on the head, a warm feeling ran threw the Pegasus.

“Yeah, me too,” Rainbow Dash said as she nuzzled against Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash inhaled the scent of the pink mare, she always smelled like strawberries and a variety of baked goods. Rainbow Dash realized how much she enjoyed being around the pink earth pony. She always liked being around Pinkie Pie, however the last week made Rainbow Dash just how much she enjoyed being with Pinkie Pie. “Hey Pinkie Pie?” Rainbow Dash asked. Rainbow Dash noticed her voice trembling with a multitude of emotions ranging from fear to excitement.

“What's wrong Dashie?” Pinkie asked with concern. Evidently she noticed the trembling in her pet’s voice

“I was wondering if you want to….you know,,,,go out?” Rainbow Dash managed to ask. Her voice came out quieter than she intended, however Pinkie Pie still heard the trembling Pegasus

“Well of course! What do you think we are doing now silly?” Pinkie Pie asked with a chuckle.

“No, I mean like...on a date,” Rainbow Dash clarified as she began to match the other mare in color due to embarrassment.Pinkie Pie gasped.

“Oh Dashie!” Pinkie Pie said as she jumped towards Rainbow Dash and hugged the rainbow Pegasus, causing her to lose her bounce. Both ponies landed in the bushes to the side of the path and began laughing.

Tummy Time?

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash managed to return to the bakery without further incidents. The two mares quietly sneaked in through the back door of Sugar cube Corner. Pinkie Pie lead Rainbow Dash up the stairs and quickly shuffled her new pet into her bedroom.

“Can I take this thing off yet?” Rainbow Dash asked in irritation as she pulled at her collar with her teeth.
“No silly, it’s play time!” Pinkie Pie announced as she plunged her head into a brown bag. When Pinkie Pie drew her head from the bag, she had a small chew toy in her mouth. “eady rainbow ash?” Pinkie asked from behind clenched teeth.
“Ready for what?” Rainbow Dash asked quizzically. Pinkie Pie threw her head to the side and launched the ball across the room.
“Go get it my little Dashie!” Pinkie Pie said in a playful manner.
“You have got to be kidding me,” Rainbow Dash said with a scowl. Pinkie Pie shook her head.
“Nope, that's what pets do Dashie, and until then end of the week you have to do whatever I say, so for the week you will be my pet.” Pinkie said matter- of- factly. “So...fetch!”
“Fine,” Rainbow Dash said with a glare as she walked over to the ball and picked the round object up with her teeth. Rainbow Dash walked over to Pinkie Pie and dropped the ball in front of the pink mare.
“Yay!Good job Dashie,” Pinkie Pie said as she began to pat the top of head. Rainbow Dash growled at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie ignored the Pegasus's protest and picked the ball up to throw again.
The two mares spent several minutes of repeating the process of throwing the ball, retrieving, head petting, and growling.
“It’s tummy time!” Pinkie Pie declared gleefully. Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow in confusion.
“Tummy time?” Rainbow Dash asked in confusion and slight anger.
“Yeah! You lay down on your back and I’ll rub your tummy!” Pinkie Pie said gleefully.
“No way! That is sooo not cool!” Rainbow said as she turned her back to the pink mare.
“Rainbow Dash,” Pinkie said in a scolding tone. “ You have to do what I say for the week, now please lay down.”
“Fine,” Rainbow Dash said in annoyance as she turned towards the pink mare. Rainbow Dash laid down on her side. Pinkie Pie knelt down and began to gently rub Rainbow Dash’s stomach in a circular motion. Pinkie Pie rubbed Rainbow Dash’s underside for several minutes, neither mare saying anything.
“There, that wasn't so bad was it?” Pinkie said with a smile as she looked down at her friend.
“That...actually felt really good. Please don’t stop,” Rainbow Dash requested as her face turned to a shade of light red. Pinkie Pie began to giggle.
“We can have tummy time after your walk tomorrow, OK Dashie? Now why don’t you go home and rest.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash said as she opened the window and began to fly off.
“Wait! Rainbow Dash! Wait!” Pinkie Pie called out.
“What? What is it?” Rainbow Dash asked in alarm.
“You forgot to take off the collar,” Pinkie said as she pointed at Rainbow’s neck.
“Oh right, thanks Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash said as she unfastened the collar and threw it to Pinkie Pie.
“See you tomorrow!” Pinkie Pie called after the Pegasus as she flew away.
