Pinkie, The "Professional" Stuntmare

Aftermath - First Stunt, and a New Challenge...

Previous Chapter

Rainbow Dash was bored. "Bored, bored, bored! Ugh, there's nothing to do but nap, and I'm not even tired!" She raged, upset at the fact that there wasn't any work for her to do, no one needed her, she wasn't tired, and there weren't any new Daring Doo books that have come out for her to read. Truly, this would be the worst Thursday of her life. She resorted to doing the one thing that most ponies do when they're bored: check their emails on the computer.

"Junk, junk, don't know that guy, junk. Heyo, what's this? 'The Super Duper Over The Top Looooooong Jump?' Wait, that's from Twilight? But she never sends me anything unless it's to remind me a new Daring Doo book came out or something. Alright, I gotta see this..."

Rainbow clicked on the link in the email, and was greeted with a video page on the new site, LuTube. It showed Pinkie Pie as she fiddled with what looked like a catapult. She heard Twilight speak, "Pinkie, I don't think this is such a good idea."

Pinkie just continued to fiddle with the contraption as she replied, "If you don't think it's a good idea, then why are you still taping instead of stopping me?"

That was a good question, Rainbow figured, since Twilight wouldn't really let somepony do something so reckless as catapult themselves across town.... Would she?

Pinkie came up to the camera, "Hey, my name is Pinkie Pie, and this is the Super Duper Over The Top Loooooong Jump. This here catapult," she pointed to it with her hooves, "is going to launch me about one hundred feet into the air, and several hundred feet across town; the target is a single memory foam mattress, which was so graciously donated for this stunt by Princess Sparkle over here, who's working the camera."

After some final adjustments, Pinkie got into the loading compartment, and gave Twilight the all clear. Twilight pulled the leaver, and then chased after Pinkie Pie as she sailed through the air. A few seconds later, she bounced harmlessly off the mattress, and landed on the ground five feet away. Rainbow could not believe her eyes, she was dumbfounded. No words could express the sheer stupidity and awesomeness that she saw. Rainbow had to leave a comment.

'Awesome stunt!! Can't believe you landed that and didn't get even a scratch on you! Five out of four hooves up!'

Rainbow Dash then promptly shared the video with all her friends and co-workers from the weather team, Spitfire, Soarin, and Holly Dash. Surely they would get a kick out of the video, she'd bet bits on that. Rainbow was about to close her browser window, when she got an email from Pinkie.

"'World's hottest pepper challenge, you in?' Heck yeah, I'm in! Oh, I'm talking to myself again, gotta stop that.......... CELESTIA DAMMIT I DID IT AGAIN! UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Rainbow, frustrated with herself at the moment, gave a short positive reply to her friend's email, and said that she was in. It would take place the day after tomorrow, and Rainbow would make sure that she was free for that, no matter what...
