Pony Fails

"Hey Pinkie," Rainbow said as she lounged in a pool chair by the lake.

"What's up, Dashie?" Pinkie asked, looking up from digging worms for fishing.

"Know what I noticed recently about the Cutie Mark Crusaders?"

"Hm? What about them?"

Rainbow propped herself up and took off her sunglasses. "Ever notice how they seem to share a brain?"

Pinkie blinked and turned, frowning. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Rainbow shrugged. "It's like...any time those three get up to something, only one of 'em has any sense whatsoever, and the other two are dumb as a bent horseshoe."

Pinkie's frown deepened. "That's really mean, Dashie."

"Yeah, I know, but think about it." Rainbow leaned back.

"I can't believe we didn't find ANYTHING!" Scootaloo cried as she threw aside her rebreather.

Apple Bloom shook water out of her mane and ears, then glared at the other two. "Ah told y'all! This here's a LAKE! Pirates sail on the SEA!"

Sweetie Belle frowned. "Maybe we just need to find a bigger lake," she said.

"Or a river!" Scootaloo added excitedly. She jumped out of the lake and trotted off, Sweetie Belle right behind her.

"Hey, wait up!" Apple Bloom called. "Ah'm tellin' y'all this ain't gonna work!"

Rainbow Dash flashed Pinkie a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

Pinkie shook her head. "You know? You maaaaay be on to something there..."
