Trixie moved through Love Bunny’s hideout and approached the terrible villainess. Several of her minions moved to block the magician’s path.

“No, let her through,” Love Bunny commanded waving them off.

“Thank you, mistress,” Trixie said kneeling before the titanic titwillow. “As I predicted, the team up with the Diamond Dogs was a success.”

“Yes, I have been keeping an eye on things. So, what brings you here then?”

“Trixie was wondering if mistress could spare some of her girls to help out?”

“Why should I give you any of my sex slaves to assist you?” The minions around Love Bunny tittered and muttered amongst themselves.

“Well…there are quite of few Dogs and bringing them all under our control is going to be a bit of a chore. As much as Trixie would like to do this on her own, it would be incredibly tiresome. If mistress wants to utilize these mutts and collect as much sexual energy as possible, some help would be required.”

“How much help do you think you’ll need?”

“I only want two more, if that isn’t too much trouble?” Trixie bowed her head low.

Love Bunny sat quietly for a few moments thinking over the situation. “Lavender Lace! Fuchsia Blush!” she shouted.

Two women from the crowd of minions stepped up to Love Bunny’s throne. Like the other women they wore the same playgirl outfit. One of them had long blonde hair and small lavender eyes, while the other had shoulder-length fuchsia hair with bright blue eyes.

“I want the two of you to assist Miss Lulamoon with the Diamond Dogs. She’s proven their usefulness after all.”

“Understood, mistress,” they said in unison.

“Is that all?” Love Bunny asked Trixie.

“Yes mistress. It is.”

“Then you are dismissed.”

The three women turned and left the hideout.

“So, what exactly do you want with us?” Fuchsia asked Trixie once they were outside.

Trixie spun around and walked backwards. “You like fucking?” The two women both nodded. “Well, that’s what you’re gonna be doing.”

“We could just do that back at the hideout,” Lavender pointed out. “What’s so special with these guys?”

“For starters, they’re packing some serious heat. And that’s without the enhancements. Secondly, we’re doing this to exponentially increase Love Bunny’s forces.”

“But, why don’t we just take people off the streets then?” Fuchsia asked scratching her head. “That’s what we were doing before.”

“Two reasons. One: to keep suspicion of our activity low. If we use the Diamond Dogs, the authorities won’t suspect us. Plus, that allows the mistress to collect more sex slaves and their energy. And two: those mutts are obedient by nature. All they need is someone to lead them.”

“I guess that makes sense,” Lavender said lost in thought. “But why do we have to fuck ‘em? Not that I’m complaining. Why not just turn them like we always do?”

“Because that’s just a simple glamour spell that we’ve been using,” Trixie explained. “This way we weave the magic into them directly. So, when that irritating Matter-Horn and her stupid sidekick try to dispel the magic, they’ll be in for a surprise. HA HA HA!” she cackled.

“Well, it sounds like fun to me!” Fuchsia exclaimed throwing her arms in the air. “So, what do you want to do about Ma Diamond?”

“Oh, we can just let her be for now,” Trixie said with a devilish grin. “We want her to think she’s in control and that we’re just helping her.”

“She’s probably suspicious of you already, though,” Lavender pointed out.

“That’s why I asked for two people to help out,” she said. “Plus, I’ve only been giving them a small taste of power. That way we can keep them under our thumbs without any cause for concern. And when the time is right, snatch it all away from her. That old hag won’t know what hit her.”

“You’re so deliciously evil, Trixie.”

“I know,” Trixie said twirling around. “But before we head over there, how about we give the two of you a quick makeover? If you’re gonna be my assistants, then you have to look the part.”

“OKIE DOKE! I’M HEADING OUUUT!!!” Pinkie shouted as she burst into the front room of the Suugarcube Corner. She carried a box in her hands that had the bakery’s name printed in light-blue lettering. Several of the people in the shop turned and gave the cotton candy haired woman a look before returning to their business.

“Is it your day off, Pinkie?” a woman wearing a pink and blue apron asked her from behind the counter. She had long curly purple hair, round magenta eyes, and a cyan-colored square cushion cut gem in her forehead.

“You bet, Sugar Belle,” Pinkie said, bounding over to the woman. “I’m gonna pay a visit to Twilight and made some yummies for us to eat.” She held up the box and bounced in place.

“Ooo, what’d you make?” Sugar Belle asked.

“Weelll…” Pinkie said with a twinkle in her eye and opened the box. “I gotta couple dozen chocolate chip cookies; a tray of brownies; a dozen tartlets, apple, cherry, and blueberry; a loaf of banana bread, a dozen snickerdoodles; and a rhubarb pie. You know, just a few things.”

Sugar Belle snickered and shook her head. “I see you still have that habit of overdoing it with the sweets, Pinkie.”

“Speaking of ‘overdoing it’…” Pinkie said with a sly grin.

“EEP!!” Sugar Belle squealed as the pink-haired woman suddenly appeared behind her.

“Looks like you’re guilty of that, too,” she said squeezing the other woman’s soft midsection. “You’ve only been here for a few months, Ms. Ganache, yet you’ve got quite a belly on youuuu!”

“Haha! Pinkie, stop! Haha! I’m ticklish,” Sugar Belle pleaded as her belly was being assaulted.

“And this rump of yours,” Pinkie moved her hands to Sugar’s butt. “I bet Big Mac just looooves this meaty backside. So plump and juicy.”

“Pinkie, please! HAHA!! I’m gonna pee!!” she cried out.

“Okay everyone! Toodles!!” the jingle of the bell on the door was heard as Pinkie left the shop.

“I…uh…what?” Sugar Belle stood there flummoxed for a few moments before realizing everyone in the shop was looking at her. Her face turned red and she looked down feeling awkward.

Pinkie took a cab to the Old Maretropolis Library. The whole ride she was bouncing in the back seat and chatting with the driver.

“Sooo, where ya from?” she said leaning up close to the driver.

“Uuuh…Delamare…” he replied hesitantly.

“Really? That’s so cool!” Pinkie practically screamed. “I’m from Rockville.”

“What brings you to Maretropolis?”

“Well, I wanted to find some place to do baking and organize parties. I reeeeally like parties,” the pink-haired woman explained, suddenly sitting in the passenger seat. “But Western Equestria is kinda a dull place. Especially Rockville. I mean, it’s just rocks!”

“When did you…?” the cabbie did a double take when he noticed Pinkie sitting next to him.

“So, when I turned eighteen, I decided to travel Equestria in hopes of finding a good place to do just that. Along the way, I met a bunch of fun people, including Cheese Sandwich. He’s this awesometacular guy. Then I ended up here, working for the Sugarcube Corner.”

“Wait, Cheese Sandwich, you said?” the cabbie asked, and Pinkie nodded enthusiastically. “Isn’t he that famous entertainer?”

“You betcha!” she said bouncing in the seat. “He’s on tour right now, and I miss him sooooo much. But I know he’s out there making people happy. Ooo! I can’t wait for his tour to end. I know it’s a bit selfish, but I just want to hold him tight and never let go!”

“You make it sound as if you two are-“

“So, today I’m going to visit my new friend, Twilight!” Pinkie interrupted the cabbie. “She moved here from Coltifornia and works for the Old Maretropolis Library.”

“I thought that place was closed or something.”

“I dunno,” Pinkie shrugged. “From what she said, they’re trying to reopen the library.”

“Huh? That so? So, what’s in the box?” he asked pointing to the box in her lap.

“Hold on, silly. I’m getting to that.” She opened the box showing off the contents. “I made a buncha goodies and I’m taking them over to Twilight.”

“Whoa! That’s quite a lot there.”

“Yeah, I guess I did go a bit overboard,” Pinkie admitted.

“Ooo, are those snickerdoodles?”

“Ya-huh! You want one?”

“Wait, really? Can I?”

“Yeah, go ahead. I got plenty.”

“Oh, hold on. Here’s your stop.” The cabbie pulled up to the library and took a snickerdoodle. He took a bite and moaned softly. “Oh my god, that’s so good.”

“Glad you liked it,” Pinkie said stepping out of the cab. “If you want more be sure to stop by Sugarcube Corner.”

Pinkie skipped up the steps to the library and pushed the door open. “HEEELLLOOOOOOO!!!! Sorry for the intrusion! Twilight? Are you here?!” The woman stood still for a moment waiting for a response. After a bit she moved further into the building. “HEEEEY!!! The door was open! Is anybody hoooome!!?” The energetic woman started heading upstairs, hoping to find someone. “Well, it’s a big place, after all. Maybe they didn’t hear me.”

One the second floor, Pinkie called out a couple times to no avail. “Well, no one on the second floor. I hope someone’s here. Maybe I shoulda texted Twilight first?”

Moving onto the third floor, Pinkie heard voices coming from one of the rooms. “Oh, thank goodness. This place was starting to get a bit spooky.”

“SPIKE! Be careful with that!” Twilight scolded her brother. “You’re gonna break something.”

“What? Naw! I’m super careful.”

Twilight and Spike were in the room adjacent to their bedrooms. The young woman was re-reading a book on spell theory and application, trying to find a way to apply the knowledge to her newfound abilities. Spike, meanwhile, had his staff out and was spinning it around wildly. Twilight was concerned her brother was being reckless and would put a hole in the wall.

“You say that, but do I need to remind you about mom’s vase?” Twilight said sternly.

“Really? That again?” Spike stopped and gave his sister a look. “I was six, and you fixed the vase anyway.”

“Yeah, and mom still found out because it was the first time I did that kind of spell. I was scared and that was shoddy spellwork.”

“Psh, whatever. I’m not gonna break anything.” Spike tossed the staff into the air and just before he caught it the door burst open.

“HEEELLLOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Pinkie shouted as she entered the room.

“Shit!” Spike cursed and fumbled but managed to catch the staff. He quickly collapsed it and stuffed it into his pants.

“Jeez, Pinkie. Don’t do that! Nearly gave me a heart attack,” Twilight said clutching her chest.

“Oops, sorry Twilight. Didn’t mean to scare you,” Pinkie said sheepishly.

“That’s okay, what are you doing here?”

“Well, I wanted to hang out. So, here I am!”

“You should’ve texted me. I would have been more ready for you.”

“Heheh, yeah. I thought that too.” Pinkie bounced over to a table and the box down.

“So, what’s in the box?” Spike asked moving closer.

“Are you interested?” she said wiggling her eyebrows enticingly.

“Well…maybe a little bit…”

“Say pretty pleeeease,” Pinkie waggled her fingers over the lid in anticipation.

“Pretty please open the box,” Spike obliged the chubby woman.

“With sugar on to-.”

“OKAY, PINKIE! That’s enough teasing. Let’s just see what’s inside the box,” Twilight interrupted getting anxious with their back and forth.

“Okay, okay. Keep your shirt on.” Pinkie lifted the lid to the box and the two siblings marveled at the contents. The box was practically stuffed with baked goods that it was a wonder she was able to close it.

“Oh, my goodness, Pinkie. Did you make all this?” Twilight asked, stunned.

“Yeppers. I was up all night making them.”

“You went a little overboard, didn’t you?” Spike said licking his lips.

“I’ve been hearing that a lot today.”

“There’s so much,” Twilight added, mouth starting to water. “I don’t know where to begin.”

“Why don’t we start with the chocolate chip cookie, and go from there,” Pinkie said.

“Ooo, I can already feel a toothache,” Spike moaned rubbing his jaw.

Trixie stood before Ma Diamond with her arms crossed over her breasts and her foot tapping. Lavender and Fuchsia stood on either side of the magician wearing matching new outfits. Both women had short, lowcut dresses with gold trimming, knee-high purple boots, and a similar pointed hat to Trixie's. Lavender’s was adorned with yellow crescent moons, and Fuchsia’s was adorned with light-blue stars. Both women were surveying the Diamond Dogs in the room, silently going over which ones they wanted to do it with first. Trixie had a smirk on her face, waiting for the matriarch to say something.

“I take it this is the help you mentioned before?” Ma Diamond said with a raised eyebrow.

“Spot on,” Trixie said coyly. “They are my lovely assistants. All good magicians have at least one. Say hello to Lavender Lace and Fuchsia Blush!” The woman spread out her arms as she introduced the newcomers.

“HELLO LADIES!!” The Diamond Dogs all said collectively. They stared at the trio of women before them, practically drooling like actual dogs.

“Good to see your boys are so…well behaved,” Trixie teased with a smug grin.

“I didn’t raise no heathens,” Ma said indignantly. “So, what’s the plan now? You gonna start changing my boys to be like the way Rover was?” She indicated to Rover who was now back to normal.

“Yes and no,” she said, giving Rover a playful wink. “For now, it would be best to have only a few changed, at first. Then we’ll add more over time. The magic dissipates over time, as you can see with Rover here. I only gave him a tiny taste that lasted for about half a day. What we’ll be doing is exhaustive work, and it will take time to work up to your entire pack. But doing so will make it last much, much longer.”

“If the ‘magic dissipates’, then why not use a more permanent solution?”

“There is one, so to speak,” Trixie said cocking her head to the side. “It’s a glamour we apply, but it’s not without its drawbacks.”

The magician turned and blew a kiss to a Diamond Dog standing nearby. In an instant, he was wrapped in a blue light and was hulked out into a love slave. The man flexed his muscles, admiring his body. Trixie swiftly moved over to him, snatched the choker off his neck, and crushed the crystal heart beneath her boot. In a blink, the man returned to his original form.

“Aw man,” he groaned and slumped his shoulders.

“See what I mean?” Trixie turned to Ma Diamond. “That annoying Matter-Horn can just easily dispel the magic. But with my method, your boys can stand up to her with no problem.”

“Huh, I see what you mean…I think?” Ma said scratching her chin. “So, who’d ya want to change?”

“Well, it doesn’t really matter. Buuut…” Trixie quickly moved over to Rover and began grinding against him. “I think I’ll go with Rover here again. Wanna take him for a proper ride. Lavender and Fuchsia can choose whoever they want.”

Lavender stepped over to one of the larger men with russet hair and yellow eyes. “Who might you be, big boy?”

“Uh…Fido, ma’am,” he said nervously.

“I’ll take this one,” she said pressing up against him. Fido bit his lip and his face went red.

Meanwhile, Fuchsia was walking around the room looking over the other Dogs. She gave each of them a disapproving eye until she came to one who was a bit shorter with dark-grey hair and a scrunched face. “Oh, my. Aren’t you a cute one,” she said kneeling before him.”

“I’m not ‘cute’, I’m Spot!” he said loudly folding his arms.

“OH! You’re just too adorable!” Fuchsia pulled Spot into her welcoming cleavage and held him there. “I like this one.”

“Hey! I told you I’m…I…I could get used to this.” Spot calmed down and nuzzled the woman’s breasts.

“It looks like they’ve decided,” Trixie said leading rover by the hand. “You mind if we ‘borrow’ a few of your rooms?”

“Do you each need a room of your own?”

“Well, we could do it right here for you. If that’s what you’d want?” Trixie teased pulling at her top.

“OH! NO! Heavens no!” Ma Diamond hollered. “Just take your rooms and get over with it.”

“Too bad. You would’ve miss out on quite the show.”

Once inside their respective rooms, the building became quite noisy. Each woman worked their man thoroughly.

Fuchsia was on all fours as Spot rammed her from behind.

“OH, MY! YOU’RE SO SMALL, BUT SO ROUGH!!” she screamed.

“SHUT UP, BITCH!” he screamed back and slapped her ass. “HERE! TAKE THIS! (SMACK) AND THIS! (SMACK) I WANNA HEAR YOU SQUEAL!! (SMACK)”

“YES! PLEASE! SPANK ME!! MAKE MY FAT ASS JIGGLE AND WOBBLE!!” she shouted, eyes rolling back. “I WANT TO BE SO FUCKING SORE FROM THIS!!” every time Spot slapped her Fuchsia’s pink wing pattern would light up for a second.

Meanwhile with Lavender, Fido had only entered the curvy woman and wasn’t moving at all. He was just lying on top of her, scared to move.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Lavender asked cupping his cheek. “Why’d you stop?”

“I don’t…I don’t want to hurt you,” he whimpered, voice barely above a whisper. “I tend to break things, even when I don’t mean to.”

“Oh, sweetie,” she said giving him a kiss. “You don’t have to worry about that. We don’t break so easily. So, let’s get those hips moving.”

Fido began pumping his hips slowly at first. With each thrust he became more confident.

“See? You’re doing great,” Lavender said moving in time with him. “Why don’t you try moving a little faster?”

The man obeyed and moved his hips faster. He thrust harder as well, which started rocking the bed. His breathing became heavier. Lavender could feel him reaching deeper inside and knew he could go further.

“Come on, baby. Let’s see if we can break this bed?”

Trixie, however, was in complete control of her situation. She rode Rover cowgirl style and energetically bounced on his dick.

“OH, GODDESS, ROVER! I KNEW YOU WERE THE RIGHT ONE! YOU’RE HITTING ME IN JUST THE RIGHT SPOT!!!” she screamed.

“Fuck! You’re so tight, I think I’m gonna lose my mind!” Rover grunted. His hands squeezed Trixie's large breasts and sunk into her soft flesh. “NO! I won’t give in!” He assured himself and began thrusting his hips. This only fueled Trixie even more.

“YES! MORE! GIVE ME MORE!! DON’T STOP!!!” Trixie demanded as she quickened her pace. She felt Rover’s cock twitch and readied the spell.

With one final motion Trixie slammed herself down onto Rover. The man screwed up his face as he ejaculated inside her. Trixie threw her head back as she climaxed.

“Oooooh, sooo good,” she moaned. She looked down at Rover and gave him a wink. “Here comes the best part.”

As both of their orgasms finished, Rover was wrapped in that same periwinkle light again. His body swelled with muscles and his skin turned grey again. Trixie let out a particularly loud moan as she felt Rover’s cock increase in size inside her. It stretched her pussy out more and pushed deeper into her cervix.

Once the transformation was complete, Trixie flopped down on top of Rover. Her breathing was heavy as she nuzzled his pecs. “Mmmm, much better, don’t you think?”

“Oh, yeah,” he said admiring his muscles. He grabbed Trixie around the waist and gently lifted her off his dick.

“Now, like this, you’ll be able to last for at least month,” Trixie said standing up. She snapped her fingers and her clothes flew onto her. “I gave you a little extra, too. Just cause.”

Rover left the room and spotted Fido and Spot. Fido had become much larger than Rover and his skin was a lighter tone. Spot grew in size but was still shorter than the other two, and his skin was a light beige. Unlike Rover, Fido had bright yellow markings running along his arms and Spot had deep red markings.

“You two ready?” Rover asked. They both nod excitedly. “Alright, let’s go to work.

“And so, Rarity walked out on stage wearing this dress that look as if she stitched together a set of curtains. Which she totally did, by the way,” Pinkie said loudly. She, Twilight and Spike were sitting at a table in the room sharing stories with each other. The pink-haired woman grabbed a lady finger and stuffed it into her mouth. “She later told us that her cat, Opal, got ahold of the dress she wanted to use and tore it to shreds. With only a few hours before the competition, Rarity did the only did the only thing she could and turned her curtains into a dress. Needless to say, she won.”

“Well, of course she did,” Spike said. He stood up and grabbed a brownie from across the table. “Is there anything she can’t do?”

“Act humble?” Twilight teased.

“Ha ha.”

Pinkie noticed the bulge in Spike’s pants and spoke up, “So, Spike? You got a roll of quarters in your pants, or are you just excited by the brownies?”

“What?” he said, very confused. He then remembered the staff he shoved into his pocket earlier in a bid to hide it from Pinkie. No use hiding it now, he thought. “Um…actually, you’re closer with the quarters.” Spike pulled out the silver rod and showed it to her. “It’s a collapsible staff,” he said extending it. “I, uh, got it off the internet.”

“Whoa! Cool! Can I see it?” she said eyes getting wide.

“Uh…I guess?” he said nervously and handed it over to Pinkie. Twilight gave him a look and he just shrugged.

“Ooo, it’s so shiny,” Pinkie said looking at it. “Aaaa. Meeeeeh. Hahaha! My face looks so weird!”

“Yeah. just be careful. We don’t want anything broken,” Twilight said watching Pinkie closely.

“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna spin around inside. That’d be stupid.” She fiddled with the staff and managed to split it into two. “Whoa! That’s cool! So, did you buy it because of the guy on tv?”

Spike gave Pinkie a baffled look. “What guy on tv?”

“You know that guy in the purple pajamas running around with that woman with the huge boobs? They kinda look like superheroes.”

“Oh! You mean that guy on the tv!” he said leaning back in his chair. “Nah, there’s a comic book character I like that uses a staff similar to that. So, when I saw that I could buy a replica, I quickly bought one.”

“So, is ‘DH’ the character? Who’s that?”

“That’s, uh, Dark…Horse.”

“Never heard of ‘em,” she said shaking her head. “Then again, I don’t read comics. Dashie might. I think she’s into this kinda stuff.” She snapped the two pieces back together.

“Oh, really?” Spike said, his voice raising an octave. “I’ll have to get in touch with her. We’ll have so much to talk about.”

“Yeah. Ooo, what’s this?” (click)

Pinkie had pressed something on the staff, causing it to launch a small round object out one end. The object hit a wall and immediately exploded into a dark-blue smoke. All three began to choke as the smoke filled the room.

“Pinkie! What did you do?!” Twilight cried out in surprise.

“I don’t know! I just pressed a button!” she said dropping the staff.

“Quick! (cough, cough) Open a window!” Spike shouted.

“There aren’t any! (cough, hack)” Twilight responded. “We gotta get the door open!”

Twilight hurried over to the door and flung it open. She bolted outside and bumped into someone.

“OW! Hey, watch it!” she said dazed.

“Whoa, easy there. Are you okay?” a familiar voice said.

Twilight collected herself and looked up to see Flash Sentry. “AAH! Detective Valerius! I mean, Flash!”

“What’s going on? Why is there blue smoke?”

“Oh god, I’m dying! (cough, cough)” spike came running out and doubled over. “Phew, I thought I wasn’t gonna make it. Oh, hey detective.”

“I’m sorry! I didn’t know it would do that!” Pinkie stumbled out of the room. She noticed Flash and perked right up. “Hey, it’s that cute guy from Café Dolce. Hi cute guy.”

Twilight facepalmed at Pinkie’s lack of discretion while Spike merely snickered. “Pinkie, this is Detective Flash Sentry Valerius. Flash, this is Pinkamena Diane Pie.”

“You can just call me Flash,” he said. “I remember you now. You’re that loud woman who shouted across the restaurant.”

“Yep, that’s me!” she said proudly. “You can call me Pinkie. Did you say detective?” Pinkie suddenly appeared behind him. “Are you on a top-secret investigation? Are you hunting for clues?” she pulled out a magnifying glass and looked him over.

“Pinkie, that’s enough. Stop pestering the detective,” Twilight said dragging the bouncy woman off him.

“She’s fine,” he said with a chuckle. “No, I’m not on an investigation. At least, not officially.”

“Then why are you here, if you don’t mind my asking?” Spike said.

“I don’t mind. I’m here to do a follow up from before. Your boss, Miss Inkwell, let me have a look at your old records.”

“Any luck finding this ‘Solanus’ person?” Twilight asked.

“Unfortunately, no,” he said with obvious disappointment. “The Solanus I found was a ‘Sunshine Glitter’. Not who I was looking for.”

“Oh, that’s a shame. I hope you find whoever you’re looking for.”

“Thanks. I guess I got my hopes up for nothing,” he sighed folding his arms. “That lead my uncle gave me turned out to be bogus. So, what’s going on here? Did a bomb go off in the library?” he asked pointing to the smoke-filled room.

“Oh, um…that’s…” Twilight stumbled trying to think of an excuse.

“That was me!” Pinkie said loudly suddenly. “I brought over some party stuff for Twilight and Spike to try out for me. There were some smoke poppers that went off all at once.”

“Yeah, and since there aren’t any windows in the room, it all got trapped inside,” Spike added.

“Huh, that’s kinda weird,” Flash said raising an eyebrow. “Why did you have ‘party stuff’?”

“Oh, that’s because I organize parties!” Pinkie said bouncing up and down. “Birthdays, graduations, baby showers. I do it all! I had some new stuff and I wanted someone’s opinion on it.”

“That sounds pretty interesting. Where do you work?”

“Sugarcube Corner!” she said ecstatically. “We’re open year-round. So, stop on in whenever you can. We can make cakes and pies and other yummy things for whatever you need.”

“That so? I may have to check it-Oh? Hold on a second. I need to take this,” Flash was interrupted by his phone ringing. “Valerius. Yeah? Uh-huh, uh-huh. Wait, slow down. There are how many now? Okay, I’ll be there shortly. Valerius out.” The detective ended the call and pocketed his phone. “Well, sorry to just take off on you guys, but duty calls.”

“Oh, that’s fine,” Twilight said. “Take care out there. I hear it’s really crazy.”

“You have no idea. Oh, hey, Twilight? Before I forget.”

“Yeah, what is it?”

“You wanna get a up of coffee some time? It doesn’t have to be today, but sometime whenever you’re free?”

“Oh, um…yeah, sure,” she said blushing a little.

“Alright, cool. Well, I got to get going. See ya.”

“Bye.”

“Later.”

“Toodles.”

They stood there for a few seconds after Flash left and Pinkie turned to Twilight.

“Oooo, looks like someone has a D-A-T-E,” she said bouncing around Twilight.

“What? No!” she said quickly. “He just wants to get a cup of coffee with me, that’s all.”

“Twilight, I say this because you’re my sister and I love you,” Spike leaned in and gave her a look. “But sometimes you can be a little stupid.”

“Uh, excuse you…?”

“That was a date he asked you out on. It doesn’t have to be the movies or some fancy restaurant.”

“Yeah, and he’s cute too,” Pinkie added.

“A date? Huh? I never really thought about that kind of stuff. I guess it could be fun,” Twilight said staring off into the distance. She snapped back to reality and turned to Pinkie. “By the way, why did you cover for us like that? It’s not like you had to.”

“Well, I don’t know,” she said scratching her head. “It felt like the right thing to do. It was like someone whispered in my ear to say that. I can’t really explain it.”

“Oh, um, okay then,” Twilight said. “Well, Pinkie? Not to put you out or anything, but Spike and I have some urgent business to tend to right now. Don’t we, Spike?” She gave him a knowing look.

“Yeah, we have, uh, some errands to run for Raven,” he said getting the hint. “She wants us to pick up some packages from the post office. They were supposed to arrive this afternoon.”

“I can come along, if you want. I don’t have anything going on today,” she protested.

“No, no, no,” Twilight said ushering her towards the stairs. “We couldn’t do that to you. We wouldn’t want to bother you with our chores.”

“It’s not a bother. I have today off…”

“Exactly, that’s what we’re saying,” Spike cut her off. “You wouldn’t want to waste your day off, now would you?”

“But it wouldn’t be a waste. I’d get to spend time with my friends,” she said cheerfully.

“Yes, but after that, we have other things to take care of,” Twilight said trying to sound convincing. “We wouldn’t have time for you and that just wouldn’t be fair. Besides, we can always hang out another day.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” Pinkie said feeling a bit downtrodden. “Can I get a hug before I leave?” she stood there bouncing in place with her arms ready.

“Uh, sure. I don’t see why not.”

“See you guys,” she said giving both a hug. “You can keep the goodies. That’s why I brought them.”

“Oh, um, thanks. That was very thoughtful of you.”

“Byyye!” Pinkie waved emphatically and skipped out the building.

“Phew, I thought she’d never leave,” Twilight sighed. “That girl is strangely persistent.”

“Hey, at least we got some free food out of it,” Spike said as they headed back upstairs.

“Ooo, don’t remind me,” she said rubbing her stomach. “That stuff is gonna last us a week. Maybe more.” She shook her head trying not to think about it. “Hurry up and get changed. It looks like we have work to do.”

“And from the sounds of Flash’s phone call, it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

Pinkie skipped down the steps of the library and began walking back to the Sugarcube Corner. “I wonder why Twilight and Spike wanted me out so badly?” she said to herself. “It was as if they were hiding something.” She skipped down the sidewalk thinking to herself. “Phht! Haha! As if. They’re just a couple of normal people. What could they possibly have to hide?”

Author's Note

Alright, I finally got this chapter out. Man this was tiresome, and not due to writing it. No, it was because of work again. I wanted this chapter done and out sooner, but I had to sub in for a coworker for two weeks while he was on vacation. It wasn't too bad, but I did have to get up much earlier to do the job. (sigh)

Anyway, not too much happened this chapter, I guess. Trixie got her assistants. The Diamond Dogs got a power up. Pinkie being Pinkie.

Well, okay, I guess it wasn't not much.

I did have in mind Lavender Lace and Fuchsia Blush joining up with Trixie for some time now, but I didn't quite know how to incorporate them. So now we have Trixie and the Illusions together. it feels good actually. Lavender and Fuchsia are also wearing versions of these outfits. Hopefully I can get Annon to draw them in their costumes. For anyone wondering, Lavender is a terran and Fuchsia is an avian. I was going to make them psions like Trixie, which would make sense. Trixie would want to surround herself with people like herself. But then I got thinking on how they're her assistants, and that Trixie would much rather feel superior to them in some way. So, making them one of the other races just made sense.

The Diamond Dogs is pretty straight forward. Trixie and her crew show up and hunk them out. I wanted the three main Dogs to be different to each other. Rover being more 'average', Fido being the bigger one, and Spot being the smaller one. I kinda like the idea of Fido being timid and Spot being angry. Like with the Illusions, I hope to get someone to draw them in their hulked out forms.

We have the proper introduction of Sugar Belle in this chapter as well. She's on the chubby side, obviously due to working at Sugarcube Corner and being around Pinkie.

I'm still working out what kind of functions Spike's staff should have. Here we saw Pinkie somehow activate something that shot a smoke bomb out of it. Though, since Pinkie is, well, Pinkie, she could probably solve a puzzle cube without even trying.

Flash Sentry seems to have run into a dead end with his investigation. But he is showing interest in our dear librarian. Will he be able to score, or will Twilight's double life get in the way? Only time will tell.

Pinkie is just Pinkie. What more do I really need to say?

If the chapter feels a bit clunky, that's because it's mostly just to get to the next major scene. It's a setup chapter for what's to come.

Well, that's all for now folks. Thanks for taking the time to read the chapter. As always please leave a comment below. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like, and what needs improvement. Till next time.
