It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Ponyville, and Rainbow Dash was on one of her weekly flights around the town. She was always at her most relaxed when she was flying, it seemed, but was always alert while she was doing so. As a filly her mother always warned her to watch where she was flying, over and over again until it was bored in her head. Eventually she began to hone her senses to fly and observe her surroundings simultaneously, and this ability helped her pass the Wonderbolts' Reserve entrance exam the day before. As she set off from her house, Rainbow figured that another lap around Ponyville would be like a victory lap of sorts.
Her first checkpoint would be the North-Eastern windmill, by the river that bordered the Eastern side of town. She loved the breeze of the windmill's blades adding to her air resistance, making her work a little harder, and she wouldn't change her route if she had to.
Pinkie Pie was down at the base of the windmill holding a large card up as she was doing the other day. Tch, typical Pinkie, always doing the most random things. That was why Rainbow liked her: All the rest of her friends seemed to be too uppity most of the time and not up for some fun and games. But Pinkie was always jolly and happy-go-lucky.
Rainbow Dash carried on to the market area. Ah, how she adored the squabble of ponies buying, selling and haggling goods below her. It made the world feel a little bigger hearing it.
Oh, there was Pinkie again, with another card. Rainbow Dash absent-mindedly wondered where she got the cards before realising something: To show how much of a good friend she was, she should get Pinkie a present later on! That would surprise her, for sure! Rainbow smiled and carried on her way.
A rotation of the town hall was Rainbow's next checkpoint. She liked flying around it instead of straight past it to hear if Mayor Mare was delivering one of her many speeches. Today, however, Mayor Mare was absent from her podium. Despite her athletic exterior, Rainbow Dash was usually up-to-date on Ponyville and Cloudsdale politics. She didn't like being cut out of things, especially not when they concerned herself or her friends.
Speaking of friends, Pinkie was, inexplicably, on the roof of the town hall, smiling broadly and holding another card. Rainbow Dash made a mental note to stop wondering what she was doing in all these different places. Pinkie was probably just checking up on her, right? Of course. She shouldn't really worry about that and keep on flying. Besides which, she loved the constant attention she was getting.
On to the fountain. Rainbow sometimes made a pit stop here to have a drink before carrying on, but usually on the way back.
She didn't this time, though, as (surprise, surprise) Pinkie was sitting waving a giant card at her, slowly. Even though it was a few feet away from her, Rainbow Dash couldn't make out the text, but she didn't want to look at it because...well, to be honest, let's just say that the fountain wasn't the only thing to get wet whenever Pinkie showed up. Rainbow Dash had had a crush on Pinkie Pie for the longest time, but was always too shy to admit it. For a while, she started trying to get stallions to notice her, and was reasonably successful, but nopony could fill her heart the same way Pinkie could. If only Rainbow could just tell her...No, that was a problem for another time. For now she had to carry on her lap.
Rainbow's next checkpoint was the flowers and snacks kiosk. It differed from the market in that s-
Oh, no, Pinkie again. With a...rose in her mouth. Oh, horseapples. If Rainbow could go any redder, everyone in Ponyville would have thought Big Mac had grown wings and dyed his hair every colour of the rainbow. Now would be a good time, a voice inside her was screaming, but she ignored it, with all her might she ignored it. So what if she was right there, so what if she had shamelessly masturbated to images of her, calling her name as she reached climax, it wasn't as if she was going to do it in public or anything...Rainbow quickly decided to finish her journey.
Appropriately enough, her last checkpoint was Sugarcube Corner. Once she reached here she always turned around and flew straight back.
But not this time. Once she saw Pinkie she remembered she had forgotten to get her a present. Drat! Well she had to come up with one quickly, the mare of her ~~fantasies~~ dreams was standing right there, in front of the bakery, as before, carrying a card with some unintelligible writing on it. Suddenly it snapped in Rainbow's head: For her outstanding contributions to her life, Rainbow should offer herself. It was perfect. She glided down towards Pinkie and smiled. Before the cyan pegasus could say anything, Pinkie put a hoof to her mouth to silence her.
"Come in."
"Yes, Mistress."

After both Pinkie and rainbow had been thoroughly cheered up, Pinkie decided to let rainbow go home for one last sleep in her old bed before she moved in permanently. The pink earth pony had managed to convince rainbow to move in because of the latter's undying service to Her. her stuff would be packed by the morning and she would live a happy life next to her Mistress.
Pinkie went down into her basement. There, propped up against the wall, were the cards that she had given to her friends two days earlier to help Rainbow Dash pass the Wonderbolts Reserve entrance exam. Thank Celestia that the cards could be cleaned off and written on again. "Pinkie Pie is the sexiest pony alive" said one. "You can't consciously read these cards" began another. Pinkie smiled and licked her lips. She wondered how many more of her friends were so easily influenced by subliminal messages.
