Author's Note

Hey everyone! So, before you begin reading this chapter, I would like to say something.

So, I apologize that I took SO long to upload this chapter. I took WAY longer than I needed to, and I am so sorry for that. I've got three main reasons as to why I haven't updated the story with this chapter for so long.

First off, school. School has been killing me (not literally, geez) with homework and projects especially. I've had homework almost every night and huge projects that have to be finished to keep my grades in tact. Also, since it's nearly the end of the school year for me, I've also got exams to worry about. I haven't been able to take free time to write stories because of this. On top of this, I also have art commissions and artwork in general on DeviantART that I have to finish up.

Second off, I've been wasting my life playing Tomodachi Life pretty much the whole day on top of doing school and art stuff. Lame, I know, but I'm just telling you the truth.

Third off, I originally had NO idea what to write for this chapter. I didn't know how to write it or write about what they were doing. But here it is, I finally figured out what to write and how to write it. It took me quite a while to think of what to write for this one, but I did it finally, yay!

Well, hopefully, since summer is coming up, I can become more active with posting chapters on this story. So that's a great thing. Enjoy the story! I'm done with blabbing.

P.S.: There's some slight NSFW in this chapter. Don't say that I didn't warn you beforehand.

The Rainbow Balloons (PinkieDash)

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were out doing what they usually did again; pranking other ponies, especially their best friends. The girls were usually lenient towards them when they got pranked by Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, and they had to thank Celestia for that one.

Rainbow Dash had found her, well, their, next victim. Rainbow Dash hid in a bush with a lion costume on. Rainbow Dash smirked, waiting for a "certain pony" to walk past the bush. She heard humming in the distance and laid herself flat on the ground, waiting for the buttery, pink-maned Pegasus pony to walk over to the bush.

The pony started to come towards the bush, and Rainbow Dash got ready to jump out of the bush, in front of her, and roar at her. Just as she was getting ready to jump, she felt a tap on her shoulder and a whisper of her name.

"Dashie!" the mysterious pony ridiculed. Not expecting the tap or the whisper of her name, Rainbow Dash ran right out the bush with a yelp, getting stripped of her lion costume in the process.

Fluttershy drew her attention to the bush after noticing a figure whizzing out of it. Fluttershy gave the bush a startled and confused look. She shrugged, and then continued on with her journey through the woods to find some food for her animals.

Rainbow Dash glared at the pink pony now standing in front of her. The pink pony seemed to have a serious and worried look on her face.

"Dashie! I've already told you so many times that you can't prank her! She's too sensitive for that!" Pinkie Pie sighed. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and stood back up.

"I know that. I just wanted to try to prank her today to see what would happen." Rainbow Dash looked past Pinkie Pie and into the woods where Fluttershy entered.

"But you can't, silly! She's too sensitive. You NEVER prank the Fluttershy." Pinkie Pie pressed her cheek against Rainbow Dash's and whispered, lowering her eyelids with seriousness. Rainbow's attention went back to Pinkie.

"First of all," Rainbow Dash said sternly while giving Pinkie Pie the look of anger and flicking her tail.

"Personal space, please." Rainbow Dash had to push Pinkie away with her hoof due to her leaning in too close to Rainbow's face. Not that she minded, just a bit awkward for her.

"And second, you didn't have to scare the horse-whinnies out of me like that," Rainbow Dash said flatly. Rainbow flicked her tail again, and Pinkie Pie giggled.

"Oh Dashie, you're so funny!" Pinkie was giggling some more and she hugged Rainbow Dash tightly. Rainbow Dash's frown turned to a smile and she hugged back. She couldn't stay made at her pink best friend forever. Besides, Pinkie Pie was the only pony who Rainbow Dash would let them call her 'Dashie.'

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash released their hug after a while. Pinkie then started bouncing in place immediately.

"What are we gonna do now, Dashie? We have SO much opportunities to have fun still! Maybe I can throw a party for us hanging out! It would be SOOOOOO fun! Doesn't that sound fun, Dashie? Maybe..." Rainbow Dash zoned out while Pinkie was rambling on, trying to think of something else to do. Rainbow snapped out of her thinking, shaking her head, and was met with the pink pony in her face and staring at her.

"Rainbow Dash, are you in there?" Pinkie started knocking on Rainbow's head to make sure that she was still alive.

"Ow!" Rainbow Dash jerked her head away from Pinkie's hoof before she could knock on it some more. Pinkie sighed in relief and wiped her brow.

"Phew! I totally thought you died or something, Dashie!" Pinkie Pie lowered herself onto the ground, sitting on her haunches. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

"I... just zoned out. I was trying to think of something for us to do. But how about we go to Sugarcube Corner and bake some stuff? That sounds... interesting." Rainbow Dash shrugged, and Pinkie Pie gasped.

"Let's go and cook some cake, Dashie!" Pinkie grabbed Rainbow Dash's arm and zoomed to the Sugarcube Corner in a pink streak, to Rainbow Dash's surprise.

"Uh, Pinkie, you can't cook a cake..." Rainbow Dash questioned Pinkie, but Pinkie was too focused on getting to their destination, so Rainbow shrugged and let her off.

They finally arrived at Sugarcube Corner and Pinkie pulled Rainbow behind the counter and into the kitchen.

"Let's cook a caaaaaake~!" Pinkie Pie sang, and Rainbow Dash sighed.

"Pinkie, I already told you that you can't cook a cake!" Rainbow Dash said irritably, but Pinkie Pie just giggled.

"'Course you can, Dashie! You just gotta put your mind to it and you can cook any food you want!" Pinkie Pie grinned and Rainbow Dash thought about the sentence that Pinkie Pie said for a moment.

"Oh, uh, I guess you're right. I guess you CAN cook a cake..." Rainbow Dash was surprised at Pinkie Pie's words of wisdom, while Pinkie Pie was pulling out the ingredients for a cake out of every shelf she could find.

"Eggs, milk, flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, salt... everything seems to be here!" Pinkie took a look at her cook book again.

"Wait! There's something missing! The best part of the whole cake! How could I forget the BEST part of the cake?!" Pinkie yelled to herself. She quickly ran over to her cupboards and pulled out the last ingredient that she needed to make the perfect cake.

"Frosting..." Pinkie Pie said dreamily while salivating. Pinkie Pie really loves her frosting. Rainbow Dash glanced over to find Pinkie babbling to herself about frosting and drooling over it. Rainbow Dash chuckled at Pinkie's randomness, but then started smirking.

'If she gets this worked up over frosting, I can only imagine what she'd be like if--...' Rainbow Dash stopped herself and shook her thoughts away. This was Pinkie Pie she was thinking about. Her best friend. She can't think about her friends that way. Can she?

Rainbow Dash shook her thoughts away completely and decided to actually get to work. First, she had to get Pinkie Pie out of her daydream of frosting.

"Pinkie Pie..." Rainbow Dash said, flatly.

"We need to get started on this cake. We don't have the time for you to be drooling over frosting, even if it is delicious." Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Pinkie's shoulder and shook her softly. Pinkie Pie finally broke out of her trance and looked to Rainbow Dash.

"Oooh, did I zone out over frosting again?" Pinkie Pie giggled.

"That's about the seventh time this month! It's just sooooo good..." Pinkie Pie sighed, but kept herself from going into a trance again. She stood up and started throwing ingredients into a bowl to mix them together.

Rainbow Dash opened her mouth to say something, but then she closed it shut again. She decided that questioning Pinkie Pie and her antics wouldn't really work out for her, since Pinkie Pie is just Pinkie Pie. Instead, she just shrugged and walked around to the other side of the counter with Pinkie Pie.

"Is there anything you'd like me to do to help?" Pinkie Pie nodded and pointed over to the oven.

"Could you preheat the oven to 350 degrees, Dashie? You just push the knob on the oven, and then turn it to 350 degrees. It's really easy!" Pinkie just kept stirring the ingredients through the whole sentence, and Rainbow Dash nodded with understanding. She flew above the oven and did as Pinkie said.

"Thanks, Dashie! This is perfect!" Rainbow Dash lifted her head with pride, and Pinkie Pie shoved the cake into the oven after having just finished mixing the ingredients together.

"Well, what should we do now, Dashie?" Pinkie Pie grinned in Rainbow Dash's face, while Rainbow chuckled. She then thought back to the frosting that Pinkie Pie was fantasizing about earlier, and she smirked.

"I have one thing in mind..."

"Ooooh, what is it, Dashie? What is it?!" Pinkie squealed excitedly.

"Remember how you were fantasizing about that frosting earlier...?" Rainbow Dash smirked and took a step closer to Pinkie Pie.

"Uh huh..." Pinkie Pie nodded her head quickly, thinking back to a few minutes ago. Rainbow Dash said nothing and stepped closer to Pinkie Pie.

"If you're like that over frosting, I can only imagine how it would be like if it were me."

Pinkie Pie blinked before getting what she meant. She then made a gasp of realization and looked up at Rainbow Dash.

"Ohhhhh! Oh..." Pinkie Pie went from silly to serious in a matter of seconds, then started smirking back at Rainbow Dash, finally getting what she was implying.

"I think I get what you're saying now, Dashie..." Pinkie Pie smirked again and lowered her tone of voice, making Rainbow Dash shiver. Rainbow Dash got closer to Pinkie Pie until Pinkie was leaning against the wall behind her. Rainbow Dash then went in for the action, crashing her lips against Pinkie's.

Pinkie Pie responded by pushing back on Rainbow's lips with her own. Rainbow Dash did a hoof pump of success, then started playing 'tongue wrestling' with Pinkie Pie. This quick move that Rainbow made surprised Pinkie, so she decided to surprise Rainbow Dash back by flipping themselves so that Rainbow Dash was the one with her back against the wall.

"Geez, Pinkie, you're stronger than I imagined you to be..." Rainbow Dash said through staggered breaths. She heard Pinkie Pie giggle.

"Oh, Dashie! I thought you already knew I was strong. Shows just how much you pay attention!" Pinkie Pie teased Rainbow Dash playfully and stuck out her tongue, causing Rainbow Dash to get flustered.

"H-Hey!" Rainbow Dash choked out as Pinkie Pie went for Rainbow Dash's now-open wings. Pinkie Pie softly nibbled on her wings, causing Rainbow Dash to elicit a soft moan and cause her wings to twitch. Pinkie Pie's nibbles increasingly got harder, and Rainbow Dash's moans louder. Pinkie Pie pinned Rainbow Dash against the wall by her wings. Rainbow Dash yelped, not used to Pinkie being so aggressive.

A few minutes passed of the two sharing dominance between one another. Finally, it was Pinkie Pie who had won because of Rainbow Dash giving up, to both of their surprises. They both had ended up on the floor, with Pinkie towering over Rainbow Dash. Rainbow wasn't used to this, but she loved it.

"Geez, Pinkie..." That was all that Rainbow Dash had managed to get out, since she was stunned and impressed by the actions that Pinkie had taken against her.

Suddenly, there was a beep heard throughout the kitchen. Both mares looked up to see that the oven had said 0:00 on it, meaning that the cake was finished baking. Pinkie Pie immediately jumped up.

"Ooooooh, looks like the cake is dooooooooone~!" Pinkie Pie sang throughout the kitchen. Pinkie Pie grabbed the cake out of the oven with her hoof mitts, then quickly took the cake out to put on display and to cool down. Rainbow Dash sighed, letting herself up from off of the floor, then smiled to herself.

"At least I got something..." Rainbow Dash quickly flew out of the kitchen to meet up with Pinkie Pie.

"Wait up, Pinkie! Don't eat that cake without me! We cooked it together, remember?!"
