Rainbow Dash Wants That Cake
I've had this idea in my head for over a month and has been driving me insane as I attempted to write a new chapter for a different fic, so I decided what the hell, I'll just get this out. Now, I absolutely LOVED the video, I decided to make a pony parody of it...and I figured this would be a delightful fit. Also, I'm attempting this in the first person POV. Hope you enjoy. It's kinda short btw.Link to the vid below. Props to hasbro and harry partidge and all that.

My eyes scrunched together in annoyance, I rolled over to avoid the light of the sun pounding against my eye lids. I huffed, giving in to the damn sun light that continued to pierce my skull.
I swung my legs over my bed, and landed on my hooves of my cloud floor. My totally awesome, super cool cloud home. I snickered and shook myself from head to hoof to get the drowsiness out. Today was gonna be the day...the day the Wonderbolts finally recognized me! I just knew it!
“You know what be a great breakfast to start off such an awesome day? The last slice of the MMM that the cakes whipped up again!” I said to no pony in particular, after all, I was alone in my cloud home. I licked my lips in anticipation of the totally awesome and cool cake that was about to explode in my mouth.
To be honest I had kinda tuned Pinks out when she told me why the cakes had recreated their masterpiece in the first place, and why she gave me half of it anyway. I shrugged my shoulders as I trotted to my kitchen where the last slice of that cakey goodness was waiting for me to eat the hay out of it.
I trotted into the kitchen, my eyes drinking in the sight of the box on the cloud table where the cake I so eagerly wanted to eat lay, perfectly fine, perfectly safe from any pony would dare eat it.
I licked my lips in anticipation as I opened the lid to the cake mouth already agape to swallow the slice in one bite....but it...”WHERE'S IS THAT CAKE!?!?!!” I screamed out hysterically, I know it was in here, its where I left it. Did some pony come and steal my last, delicious slice of cake?
A throat cleared behind me and I spun around in an instant, how come I didn't notice the intruder before?
“Alright buster, you best be prepared for a beat down cus this is....Pinkie?! Wait...how are you up here in my home? And how can you be standing on the cloud? You're an earth pony.” I asked, completely incredulous. I mean sure, Pinkie tended to ignore all the laws of physics but this was ridiculous.
Pinkie flashed me a smile as she held aloft...my precious slice of cake. “Were you looking for...this piece of cake?” Her mouth edged closer and in an instant she took a gobble out of the cake.
I jumped, “Pinkie! What are you doing??! That's my cake!”
“Oh you mean this cake? Do you...want this cake?” Pinkie eyed me, he eyes in little squints, a humongous smile spreading from ear to ear.
“Yes I want that cake!” I leaped forward, diving at Pinkie in a desperate attempt to wrench that cake from her grip. But she felt me with her Pinkie sense and nimbly stepped to the side as my snout collided with the wall.
Wait...it was a cloud I slammed into...how did that hurt?
“Do you want this cake?” The party pony asked me again.
I growled, “I WANT THAT CAKE!” I darted after her and she ran out of the kitchen, I sped after her growling the whole way.
I grinned as we stepped out onto the cloud lawn, “Give me that cake Pinkie!” I growled at my friend. She almost immediately shot out, “Now way!” Before taking a second bit out of the delicious slice of MMM.
I grinned, she can't fly, so there was no where for her to go. Besides, I was the fastest flier in all of Equestria. I flew forward in a flash, in a moment I'd be chowing down on the greatest slice of cake of all time and nothing could stand in my way...that is until Pinkie jumped off the side of the cloud.
I gasped, Pinkie just...jumped. I cleared my head, yes she stole the last slice of the most delightful cake in existance, but she was still my friends and she was in trouble. “Don't worry Pinkie I'm coming!” I shouted as I zoomed over the edge and dove straight down after her.
But...she was safely in her balloon, quickly descending to the ground below. The pink mare looked up at me, a taunting smile on her face, “Do you want this cake?” I roared, “PINKIE!!!! I WANT THAT CAKE!!!!”
I angled my body and flapped my wings harder, quickly accelerating, I began to easily catch up to Pinkie's slow as molasses balloon. I grinned, almost there and the delicious MMM would be mine.
But then Pinkie jumped out of her basket and began to free fall to the ground. I glared at her suspiciously, What's your game Pinks?
I accelerated further, determined to catch her, but she still flashed me that taunting smile and despite the roaring wind in my ears I could very clearly hear her taunt, “Dashie...do you want this cake?”
I grunted as I got within feet of her, “I want it.” I reached my hooves out to grab her...but she pulled sharply away and started to fall further away from me.
“Do you want this cake?” She teased me waving the cake aloft as she continued to fall, seemingly oblivious to the splat she would make unless she stopped playing around.
“Pinks, stop it with the cake! Your gonna go splat unless I catch you from the fall. And yes...I want it.”
Pinkie laughed and laughed, “You silly willy! Look down!” And then she giggled as she angled herself to fall further and further from me.
I did as she said and glanced down, just now realizing that she was falling towards the leafy trees of the Ever Free forest, while I was...
SLAM!
I collided snout first with a cliff side. A groan of pain left my lips as I began to slowly slide down the cliff.
“Hey dashie? Do you want this cake?” The familiar taunting of Pinkie sounded from above me. I glared up the cliff to my friend hanging over the side, waving the slice of cake a mere few feet from my snout.
I growled “ I WANT THAT CAKE!” I darted forwards, and Pinkie immediately jumped back out of range of my dive. I clambored over the top of the cliff and glared up at Pinkie. She was at the edge of the tree line, tossing the cake between her front two hooves while sitting on her haunches.
She cocked both eyebrows at me, “Do you want this cake?”
If looks could kill, the daggers I glared at her would kill her twenty times over. “I want it.”
I darted forwards to chase after the pink party pony who fled into the trees of the Ever Free.
An hour later...
I panted, Pinkie dodged and weaved through the trees using her Pinkie Sense to intuitively know where I was going to strike from, all the while she kept asking me over her shoulder, “Dashie, do you want this cake?”
Even though she's been bouncing, dodging me and weaving away she didn't even seem phased. I was panting and struggling to breathe as I darted around another tree, chasing after the party pony.
I noticed something, a light on the horizon. I grinned, we were nearing the edge of the forest. “Hey Pinks!” I called out to her.
“Yeah Dashie? Oh! Do you want this cake?”
I laughed, despite the trouble I had breathing, “I want it! And...You're at the end of the line PINKS!” I reached a hoof out, merely inches from grabbing her...and she picked up speed immediately barely getting out of range in time.
I cursed as I nearly lost control, but I managed to right myself and pick up on Pinkie again. We zoomed past the tree's and we were on open ground...heading straight for... Canterlot? The city on the mountainside loomed ahead a mere ten minute flight from where we were.
I grinned, and began to pick up on speed, I flapped my wings harder and harder. How was Pinkie hopping faster and faster too? I ignored the thought as I could feel the resistance of the sound barrier giving way....YES!YES!YES!
BOOOOOM!
The familiar roar of the sonic rainboom echoed through out the valley as I broke the sound barrier, the colorful rainbow streaking out from behind me. I zipped on closer to Pinkie, closer...closer...closer....HOW IN THE HAY WAS SHE HOPPING FASTER THAN SOUND?
I ignored that as I reached a hoof out at her. Sweat drenched my brow...just a little more....
WHAM!
I tackled into Pinkie, the cake went flying into the air as we rolled along the cobbled streets together.
OH MANURE NO!!!!
I leaped up and over Pinkie, my tongue rolled all the way out as I tried to catch the cake with it...and slammed into the ground as a golden aura suddenly enveloped it, holding it in mid air.
I groaned and planted a shaky hoof on the ground as I looked up for my delicious cake. I blinked at the sight of the one towering over me, “Celestia?” I asked quizzically.
The princess stared down at me, a slight smile on her lips. “Is this what you wanted dear Rainbow Dash?”
My face lit up, a smile stretched from ear to ear as I nodded my head vigorously, completely at a loss for words.
The princess chuckled at me and the cake I so desperately wanted came floating to me...only to slam into the ground at the last possible moment. The golden glow of Celestia's magic still surrounding it, as the slice of cake was smeared on the ground in circles.
My jaw dropped to the ground...what...
I glanced up to the princess, she had the weirdest expression on her face that I had ever seen. She had a toothy grin that stretched from ear to ear, her eyes were all squinted and the smile was...lopsided.
“Trololololol.” The Princess said to me, staring straight into my eyes, no...staring into my very soul.

I hope you enjoyed that, that idea has been ramming into skull for over a month now and IT JUST WOULD'NT LET ME BE!!!! It could use some improvement, I know it was far from perfect and would LOVE any criticism you may have for me.
