Opposite Day
I. Happy Opposite Day!
Load Full StoryNext ChapterRainbow Dash stretched out her wings, as she yawned. She sat upwards in her cloud-bed, looking out the window a slight grin. Today was April 2nd, otherwise known as Opposite Day in Ponyville. Besides April Fools, Opposite Day was Rainbow's favorite holiday, mainly because of the loopholes that came with it. She grinned, this year would be epic.
Stepping out of her bed, she removed her Tank-faced slippers and throw off her robe. Not bothering to even glance at her bathroom, she flew out of the cloud-house.
No Time for Hygiene if I want to make this Opposite Day the best yet!
Landing in front of Sugarcube Corner, Rainbow Dash looked around for a slight moment. Strangely, nopony could be found, and all the houses looked abandoned. Shrugging it off, Rainbow opened the door to the bakery, hearing a bell tingle as she entered.
What she had expected to see was Pinkie Pie, either working the register or just being her Pinkie self. No. What she saw was much more different.
Pinkie Pie sat sadly in the middle of the room, playing around with a small pebble dressed up with googly eyes. Her poofy mane and tail was flat and her expression was, depressed. Rainbow stared at Pinkie, her jaw hanged. It took what felt like eternity before Pinkie Pie noticed the rainbow-mane mare standing there.
"Wait a minute, Jake," Pinkie whispered to the rock, almost as if it could hear her.
"Welcome to Sugarcube Corner..," Pinkie smiled weakly before standing up to go behind the register. She put on an apron that was hung on a lamp inside of the kitchen. "What would you like today, Miss?,".
Rainbow Dash still stood frozen in shock at the pink mare, she hadn't even realized Pinkie had talked to her.
"Miss?," Pinkie Pie said.
Rainbow snapped back into reality, to look at the pink mare. Staring at her for a few seconds, before bursting out in laughter.
"Oh Pinkie Pie, you really got me there!," Rainbow Dash hit her knees from the so-called joke, leaving Pinkie Pie with a confused expression.
"Umm, My name is Pinkamena, Miss," -Pinkie pointed to the name tag on her apron-," And how do you know my last name?,".
Rainbow looked at 'Pinkamena' with an annoyed expression. Whatever prank Pinkie Pie had set up had gone on for to long, it was making the cyan-mare look like a fool.
"Pinkie Pie, not funny," Rainbow Dash's muzzle was literally in the apprentice's face, before she began to burst into tears.
"I-I'm s-sorry miss!," Pinkie sobbed. Rainbow looked at her with an expression that could burn the skin of an onion.
"Pinkie Pie! Stop acting like such a-",
"That will be enough,".
Mrs. Cake's voice echoed through out the staircase. Instead of it's usual calm and sweet tone, it was full of coldness.
"Leave Pinkamena alone, before I call the police!," Mrs. Cake sternly scolded.
Rushing over to the pink mare, she comforted her. Pinkie stopped sobbing and began to sniffle.
"It's okay Mrs. Cake, maybe she took me for somebody else," Pinkamena said.
The plump mare only nodded before looking coldly at Rainbow Dash again.
"Sorry Pinkamena,".
"It's okay, miss,".
Rainbow Dash headed towards the exit, before getting stopped again by Pinkie Pie.
"Wait, miss!,".
Rainbow turned her head.
"Would you like some breakfast?,"
"No Thanks," Rainbow Dash replied, clearly irritated, before flying out of the bakery.
"I can't believe Pinkie Pie was crying!," Rainbow Dash still couldn't get it out of her mind. Maybe everyone was just doing this to get back at her for previous Opposite Day. Yea, this was it. If it was, she could take it.
Flying to Fluttershy's cottage, she heard the sound of a loud scream. From the sound of it, it sounded like Rarity.
"Rarity, Fluttershy!,"Rainbow screamed.
She flew inside to find the two girls fighting. Fluttershy's mane was somehow shorter and Rarity's was decorated with loose ends.
"What are you doing in here?!," Fluttershy grunted, raising a hoof at Rainbow. Rarity scowled at the cyan mare, almost frightening her.
"I just wanted to help you," Rainbow Dash argued, Rarity and Fluttershy not amused.
"I should call the cops," Rarity said, levitating a cell phone.
"No Thanks! Sheesh!,".
"What would we need help with in the first place?," Fluttershy groaned at the cyan mare.
"Well it sounded like you 2 were in trouble,".
"Why would we need help from a random stranger that barged into my house?!,".
"I actually don't know," Rainbow grinned shyly.
Just that moment, the 2 mares began to throw furniture at Rainbow Dash. The pegusas tried to dodge them, but failing miserably.
Rainbow Dash flew out of the cottage, almost grateful to be alive. What was with her friends, today?
Flying over to Twilight's, she knocked on the door cautiously. Maybe Twilight wasn't affected by today like everyone else, after all, she didn't really enjoy pranks.
Twilight opened the door, a grin wide on her face," Hey dude," Twilight chuckled, she drank some beer.
Rainbow stood, jaw dropped again, was Twilight drinking and did she call her dude?!
"Me and Apple*hic* were about to go out to the bar, sorry," Twilight pointed to Applejack, she was seated on a beanbag chair, also drinking. The farm-mare managed a wave before hiccupping along side her companion.
"When did you ever go bar?!," Rainbow Dash shouted.
"Dude, not cool," Applejack peeped.
Rainbow Dash looked angrily at her friends, she had never felt this much rage in her life. First, Pinkie Pie crying because of her, then Fluttershy and Rarity almost killing her, and now AJ and Twilight acting like their high.
"Ok..See you," Rainbow Dash stormed off to her house. This was terrible. Her friends were acting like drug-addicts. All except for Pinkie Pie, and she is acting like she is in a deep depression. Had opposite day taken a toll on them that bad?
