Over the Rainbow

Rainbow Dash lazily trotted to the door. She moaned as she reached the stairs.

"Soooo many steps! Why must this world do this to me! I just trotted a two whole blocks to that shack, now this? Grr, fine..." She growled to herself and trotted down the five steps to the front door, pass the dining area.

       Swinging open the door, she saw both of her very best friends, Twilight and Scootaloo, along with another filly named Golden Chain and Spike. Twilight stared over to the table as she walked in, seeing Tank snore, on her shell, yawning. Looking up, she spotted  one of the chains from the chandelier hanging down.

      Taking this chance right away, Tank bit in it with her little tortoise teeth and swung herself to the kitchen counter. Seeing that Twilight had already looked away, she put her mouth on the cabinet handle and crawled inside. She started tearing several bags of chips, boxed cider, and some food Rainbow forgot she even had up there. Tank was enjoying the moment, and even more, knowing that Rainbow had completly forgotten about this very cabinet.

    Scootaloo put down her bags down next to the table and sniffed it. Golden came over and unfurled her wings. She flew up to the table, carefully landing on it. She noticed that Tank wasn't there like Rainbow said.

"Uhm, Rinbow Dash, where's your... um... guinea pig?" She asked getting an annoyed look from her. Rainbow face-hoofed.

"It's a tortoise, and I though she was right... Sweet Celestia Buck me..." She mumbled.

Twilight started taking the pillows off the beds and couches. Scootaloo then heard a crunch noise in the kitchen, so she trotted there. Scanning the chairs and rug for the missing tortoise, she found a few crumbs next to the stairs. and leading towards the dining table. She grunted.

"Ugh, back to square one... again!" She said, folding her hooves.

"Well, why don't you just ask for clues, instead of eating them?" Spike said, watching Scootaloo lick the potato chip crumbs. She got her toungue stuck in a small hole under the stairs and she tried tugging it out.

"Bat It tashes show guud. Now shelp meh or your'll wegwet dish!" She tried, still tugging at her tongue. Spike rolled his eyes, and sat on Scootaloo's back, pulling her head back. Suddenly, Rainbow trotted down the steps, accidentally stepping on the filly's tongue. She yelped, and with a loud *POP* sound, her tongue was free... and swollen.....

   Rainbow waited for the ponies to all go downstairs for dinner as she ran up the steps, waiting for her show to start. She locked the bedroom door and sat down on the bed with Tank in her hooves. Tank smiled slightly as Rainbow fed her some chips. She ripped open the box and smirked as she looked inside. Tank stared in, at the case of fizzy cider. (In this case, I mean it was soda in the form of cider.) She took out a can, setting it next to her and opened the bags. Inside were mustard hot dogs, pink lollipops, and a rainbow frosted batch of cupcakes with a purple heart on top. She left alone the last bag for later as she hoofed Tank a cupcake. The channel auto-tuned to a Daring Do movie, which had just started. Rainbow started lifting some weights as she waited for the intro for the movie to end, and the movie to begin. Tank was halfway done with the cupcake, but stopped as the two heard a heart-stopping sound from downstairs.

   "Hey, Rainbow! Done with dinner!"
