"The truth is Pinkie...I don't like pies."
"You...don't like pies?.. Not...any pies?..that... I've made for you?.."
"Sorry Pinks... It's nothing personal...I'm just more of a cake person."
"C-Cake?..All this time, you would rather have had cakes than pies?.."
"Look Pinkie, don't be upset, I just didn't want to hurt your feelings..." Rainbow tried explaining.
Oh..." Pinkie's expression morphed from sadness to one of anger.
"Oh, I'm not hurt...I don't care that you'd rather have cakes, eat ALL the cakes you want! I don't care! See how much I care! You're just a meanie-double faced...Cakesniffer!!"
Rainbow raised an eyebrow. "...Cakesniffer?.."
"You heard me..." Pinkie huffed.
Dash scratched her head. "Well...that's a new insult..." She looked at Pinkie. "It...is an insult, right?.."
"The very worst kind a pie can dish out!!" Pinkie confirmed.
"Who's dishin' out what now?.." Applejack questioned as she approached.
"Pinkie has made up a new insult..." Rainbow filled her in. "She says that since I prefer cakes over pies, I am now, what she calls, a "cakesniffer"."
"Aww shucks Pinkie, that ain't no insult...At the apple farm, we use the term "pot licker."
Rainbow looked between Applejack and Pinkie Pie. "...Ok, you guys both have weird insults..."
"What started this whole thing anyway?.." Applejack questioned.
"Rainbow says she prefers cakes over pies! She doesn't like my pies! She'd rather have cake! I don't do cake, I do pie! It's in my name! My name is not Pinkie Cake, it's "Pinkie Pie!!"
"Hold up..." Applejack stopped her. "So just because your last name is Pie, it means that everything you do has to be pie related?.."
Pinkie scoffed. "Just because YOUR name is apple, means that everything YOU do has to be apple related??!"
"...Touche..."
"Hey guys, what's going on?.." Twilight approached. "Pinkie, I need your help to make a birthday cake for Rarity."
Pinkie gave an exasperated cry. "Let them eat cake!!" She stormed off. "Let them ALL eat cake!! You're all just a bunch of cakesniffers!!"
"...What in Equestria was that about?.." Twilight asked hesitantly when Pinkie was gone.
"Pinkie's upset because I don't like pies."
"What? But you eat her pies all the time."
"Err...actually, I don't...But she had never found that out...until now."
"Oh...I see..." Twilight sighed. "I guess she won't be helping me make any cake for Rarity..."
"What is this I hear about cake?" Rarity suddenly approached, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Err, nothing! Nothing at all!.." Twilight covered up. "I didn't say cake, I said...uh, "take"! Ya! Because I'm about TAKE a BREAK, for the SAKE of my...ACHE!"
Rarity gasped. "Goodness darling! You have an ache??"
"I never said I had a cake!" Twilight blurted.
"I said "ache" darling..."
"What? I don't have- I mean...ya! Big ache, I, uhh, oughtta go lie down..."
"Well, that is unfortunate darling, I was going to have us go meet some new residents in town."
"New residents?.." Twilight asked.
"Yes! Oh, they have the most charming home! Rumour has it, they even have their very own library!"
"I'm feeling better! Let's go meet these new residents!" Twilight ran on ahead.
...............................................
"Whoah, when you said "charming home", I envisioned something like Fluttershy's place, but THIS is something else..." Rainbow gaped at the enormity of the property.
"True..." Rarity admitted. "But, I mean, Twilight has her own castle too, so it can't be that impressive, right?..Twilight?" Rarity looked at Twilight, who was ecstatic.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!! T-They're mares!!"
"Uh, Twi...We're mares..." Applejack raised an eyebrow.
"No! I mean THE mares! One of Equestria's wealthiest bloodlines, namingly; the Baudemares!"
Applejack gasped. "Get out...here, in our town??"
Twilight squealed. "Their library is probably second only to that of the royal Canterlot Archives! Let's go introduce ourselves right now!!"
"Whoah Nellie Twi..." Applejack stopped her. "We ain't makin' friends with them just tah use their library..."
"Of course not...But it is an added bonus!" Twilight began making the long trot to the entrance, but suddenly found herself scooped into a sort of basket, and carried speedily to the front entrance with the help of a pulley transport, similar to that of a ski lift, before being dumped at the doorway.
"Whoaaaa!! Oooff!!" She got up dizzily. "Oooh..."
The door opened suddenly .
"I am sooo sorry!!" I see my transport system got a hold of you quite literally." She helped Twilight get up. "It's supposed to make the trek up the walk easier, and well, more fun since we have such a large lot, and nopony in our family is pegasi. But I see I still have some kinks to work out with it."
Twilight looked up to find herself facing an earth pony with a long violet mane, and a wrench for a cutiemark.
"Oh, don't worry about-"
"Sweet Celestiaaa!!" Rarity screamed as she and Applejack were thrown from the basket and tumbled into Twilight, bowling all three of them over again.
"Ah hahahahaha!!!" Rainbow laughed hysterically as she flew up to the scene.
"Oh man, that was rich! You shoulda seen your faces! Whew..." She turned to the earth pony. "Hey, I'm Dash. Rainbow Dash to be exact. I'm awesome, that's all you need to know about me..."
"Eh heh, ignore Rainbow...She's got an ego the size of a whale."
"I do not! Everyone knows I'm awesome."
"Awesome!" A new voice exclaimed.
"See? Told ya. Now who's my number one fan?" She looked around, but saw no one else.
"Awesome!" The little voice said again. Everyone looked down at a small filly.
"Oh, that's my little sister Sunny." The mare explained. The little filly had a golden coat, and though she was very small, she already had her cutiemark, which, by no surprise, was a sun. Though, it was surprising to Twilight to have been meeting a third pony in Equestria with a sun for a cutiemark. Besides Celestia, Sunset was the only other she knew of who had a sun for a cutiemark.
"Well, it takes someone awesome, to know someone awesome!" Rainbow picked the little filly up, who squealed in delight at the sensation of flight.
The mare chuckled. "I'm Violet by the way."
