My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic

Chapter 8: Pinkie Pie and the

A pink little pony was baking in Sugar Cube Corner for a very special customer. She was also talking to herself and thinking about something in her mind.

''I mean, AppleDash?'' she snickered. ''Really?!''

She looked over the twin foals on the ground, pounding on building blocks and chewing on a teddy bear. Pinkie Pie wiped the sweat from her forehead and trotted over to them to prevent that from happening. She took away the teddy bear from Pumpkin Cake's mouth and lifted Pound Cake up so he wouldn't do anymore more pounding. She placed him on her back and got back to her bowl stirring and thoughts.

''PinkieDash makes more sense! I mean,'' she said, ''we do get along well and have lots of pranks together.''

She stopped and thought to herself. ''Hey, wait! Isn't AppleDash canon to the original show and isn't rainbow a flag to represent gay ponies?''

Ugh, Pinkie. What have I told you about breaking the fourth wall every time? This is an alternate universe so anything could happen! I generally liked SoarinDash better so I added that to this series. Now if you don't mind, could you please stop breaking the fourth wall?

Pinkie chuckled. ''Alright, boss!''

''But seriously? You seriously made Applejack have a crush on Rainbow Dash!'' She rolled on the ground, laughing.

Okay, that's it! I am taking away your fourth wall-breaking abilities.

Pinkie Pie bounced back up. ''What?! You can't do that!''

Just did.

Pinkie Pie sighed. With an add of frosting and sprinkles on the cake, she looked over at Pound Cake on her back, who was looking confused. This brought a slight smile upon her face and took the baby colt into her hooves.

''You know?'' she said. ''I guess I have somepony to talk to.''

The baby smiled.

Pinkie Pie gasped. ''Did I just hear that?''

Hear what?''

''You!''

What do you mean? I finally got it and looked down at Pinkie Pie. Wait, how did you-

Pinkie Pie appeared to have a devious grin on her face. She was tackled into the air with a red background and lightning struck behind her. She leaped her hooves up in the air.

''You can never defeat me! I am the most powerful...'' She got rid of the background by coming down to the ground to think. ''Fourth wall breaker! No, wait...that doesn't sound right. I, uh...you know what? Let's just go with that!''

''I am the most powerful fourth wall breaker!'' she tackled into the air again but got pulled down to the ground. She realised that a rope hooked on her back left leg and that she was talking to herself the whole time.

She soon realises an orange earth pony, with a cowgirl hat on her head, standing right next to her.

''Are ya okay, Pinkie Pie?'' she said in her southern accent.

Pinkie Pie gasped and pulled her chest closer to her.

''How long have you been standing there for?''

''Uh,'' the cowgirl darted her eyes around. ''Up to the tackle ya just pulled off.''

Pinkie Pie let her go and sighed of relief, swiping a sweat away from her forehead.

''Thank goodness,'' she said, ''that you weren't here before that.''

''Why?'' she asked, raising an eyebrow. ''Am I not allowed to be here?''

Pinkie Pie sweated and thought up an idea. She pointed to the twin foals on the ground and raced out the door. The southern pony raised an eyebrow.

Pinkie Pie was sitting behind a tree and inside bushes so no one could see her or hear her.

''Great!'' she exclaimed. ''I have some time for myself. Now, where was I? Oh, yes. I was busy talking about Rainbow Dash and Applejack being a thing. Like, I suit better with her, not Applejack!''

Sounds like somepony is jealous.

''Who?'' she huffed, popping out of the bush to look up at the sky. ''Me? Jealous?''

Lyra and Bon Bon came by and watched her arguing back at the sky. They slowly trotted away from her. Pinkie Pie ducked back into the bushes so no pony else could see her.

''Ugh!'' she groaned. ''I know she is straight and has a boyfriend but I can't help and think...'' She shook her head. ''No! I can't be in love with her again! I have a boyfriend and so does she!'' She landed her face on the leaves and grumbled.

Her head perked up and thought to herself. ''Come to think of it, I haven't really hung out with Rainbow Dash lately. She's always with her new boyfriend.'' She gasped. ''What if Soarin is actually a pony eater!''

Pinkie, that is ridiculous. You just saw Rainbow Dash by dragging her to Applejack's barn in the last chapter.

''I know that,'' she said. ''Still, there must be some other reasons why!'' She said nothing for a while as she thought up for many reasons. ''Maybe...just maybe...Soarin is stealing her away from us!''

Pinkie...

She gasped out of the bush and steam came out of her ears and nostrils. Fire ignited in both of her eyes. She levitated herself up in the sky in anger and there was a pink background behind.

''Soarin Skies, you have gone too far this time!'' she shouted. ''First, blaming Rainbow Dash for sending Spitfire away and sending her a warning that if she wouldn't find her in time by the next day then she is permanently banned from the wonderbolts, forever! Second, he laughed at her and gave her the nickname 'Rainbow Crash'! Okay, no. That last one was Fleetfoot, but still!''

Spike blasted a bucket of over Pinkie Pie so she would calm down. Pinkie Pie fell to the ground and shivered off the water.

''Are you okay, Pinkie Pie?'' asked Twilight, raising an eyebrow in concern.

She gasped. ''Twilight! Spike!'' She hugged them close to her. ''No time for introductions! I got to find Rainbow Dash!''

''Introductions?'' Twilight raised an eyebrow. ''But we met a long time ago-''

She was suddenly caught off as Pinkie pulled away from the hug and zoomed off.

''There is definitely something wrong with her,'' Twilight stated.

''Well,'' Spike said. ''She isn't called Pinkie Pie for a reason.''

Twilight chuckled.

Pinkie Pie sniffed for Rainbow Dash's scent everywhere around town. She had her binoculars with her, around her neck. There was a pegasus with rainbow hair that she thought was Rainbow Dash but it was just her dad. Pinkie Pie groaned and jumped into the bushes. She swam inside it to reach to the other side.

She saw two ponies sitting on top of a picnic blanket, laughing. Both of them were blue but one of them had rainbow mane. Pinkie Pie was about to straight up walk towards her when a voice called out.

Shouldn't you see what they are doing first before going up towards her?

''Good point.'' She got her binoculars as she was walking around with it around her neck, it kept hitting her face so had to put it inside her poofy mane.

You know you don't need those, right?

''Hush!'' she exclaimed, looking through the binoculars.

Rainbow Dash was giving a girly chuckle to one of Soarin's tricks. One of them was him pulling out a rose from behind her ear. Since that wasn't very surprising, Rainbow Dash yawned. Soarin came up with another trick and magically landed a kiss on her lips.

''Wow,'' she marvelled. ''How did you learn to do that?''

''A Soarinian never reveals his secrets,'' he explained.

''I get it!'' Rainbow chuckled girly again. ''Soarinian instead of magician.''

They both landed on their picnic blanket and continued laughing.

However, Pinkie Pie (the annoying bastard) was looking at them through her binoculars and gasped.

''Okay,'' she said. ''Since when has she ever laughed girly? That's Rarity's thing! Or, maybe Fluttershy, as well.''

My pony form with pink coat, purple eyes, purple stars for cutie mark, purple and yellow wavy mane, and a unicorn teleported down next to her inside the bush.

''Probably has to do with something about Soarin,'' I said.

Pinkie Pie gasped. ''How dare he change my little Dashie?! Oh, that's it!''

Anger puffed inside her cheeks and flames were burning inside her eyes with steam coming out of her ears. I simply rolled my eyes and used my magic to pour a bucket of water on top of her. Hopefully, no one saw the water spilling out of the bush.

I popped my head out to see and fortunately, they didn't as they were caught up snuggling on the picnic blanket and laughing. I ducked back down and sighed in relief.

I saw Pinkie Pie sobbing.

''What is the matter, Pinkie Pie?'' I asked with concern.

''I miss my little Dashie!'' she yelled.

I tried to quiet her down so the couple couldn't hear.

''Now, Pinkie Pie. She is not gone forever,'' I assured her. ''She is just...growing up.''

''But I don't want her to!''

I rolled my eyes and snatched the binoculars from her hooves so I could watch the romantic love scene.

''Now look who is being dumb now,'' Pinkie Pie whispered. I hushed her down.

Rainbow Dash and Soarin were nuzzling their noses with each other. Pinkie Pie may have found it disgusting, I found it romantic. Soarin then called her name.

''Rainbow?''

''Yes, Soarin?''

He shook it off. ''It's nothing.''

Rainbow Dash leaned against his chest and relaxed her eyes. She could hear his heartbeat. Soarin was surprised by this movement but went with it and wrapped his wing around her.

''You smell nice,'' he complimented.

Rainbow Dash chuckled girly, which seemed to annoy Pinkie Pie.

He lifted up her chin to gaze into those pretty magenta eyes of hers.

''You have pretty eyes.''

Again, she chuckled like a girl.

''Ugh!'' Pinkie groaned. ''I can't stand this anymore! I liked the hysterical laugh she had, not girly!''

''Is somepony jealous?'' I said sarcastically.

Pinkie Pie nudged me in the side.

''Ow!'' I yelled. ''Never do that again!''

Rainbow Dash flew back away from Soarin with widened eyes. Soarin raised an eyebrow. The pegasus mare flew back down.

''I'm sorry,'' she apologised. ''I just...well, since when did I become so girly? Have you noticed?''

He grinned. ''Actually, I have. Probably because of your loving boyfriend,'' he said smugly. ''Although, it is pretty cute. Your tomboy act was also cute, as well.''

Rainbow Dash's cheeks turned red and squeaked. ''Soarin...stop!''

Soarin smirked and pulled her into a passionate kiss. As I was sighing flirtingly, Pinkie Pie's eyes widened in shock and her heart shattered this time. She had seen them kiss before and nothing happened so why did it shatter like Applejack's heart this time? Has she really fell back in love with her best friend? But...that can't be possible! She has a boyfriend! Does this make sense at all?

I caught Pinkie Pie from the corner of my eye shrinking down to the ground. I felt somewhat guilty for letting her spy over them. I knew she had a crush on her still, so why did I do that to her? For some reason, I felt sympathetic for this poor little pony, even if she can get annoying at times. Okay, all the time!

The two lovers pulled away from their loving embrace when all of a sudden, a pink pony jumped right out of the bushes and pinned Soarin down to the ground. Rainbow Dash gasped.

''Pinkie Pie?''

''Stay back, Rainbow!'' she exclaimed, trying to keep him in her hold. ''I won't let this pesky bug **** my friend!''

''Pinkie Pie?'' she exclaimed again. ''What are you talking about? And how long have you been spying on us?''

''That doesn't matter right now,'' she said. ''What matters now is that you are safe away from...HIM!'' She pointed at the stallion on the ground.

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. ''Pinkie Pie! Stop! You are hurting him!'' She flew on over to him to unleash Pinkie Pie's hold off him. ''Are you okay?'' she asked him, kneeling down to him.

''I am alright,'' he smiled. ''You got to stop saving me all the time.''

Rainbow Dash rolled out her eyes and nudged him.

Pinkie Pie's ears flopped down and her mouth quivered.

''Pinkie Pie!'' she yelled. ''Why would you spy on us like that? And you could have nearly hurt him!''

''But he hurt you!'' she snapped back.

''What do you mean?''

''Oh,'' she chanted around. ''You want reasons? I will give you reasons! He threatened to ban you from the Wonderbolts forever! He ignored you at the Grand Galloping Gala! He laughed at you when you fell into a garbage can and also laughed when Fleetfoot gave you the nickname 'Rainbow Crash'!''

She stared at her for a long time and raised an eyebrow. She then landed her hoof onto her face, slapping it vigorously.

''Pinkie,'' she said. ''I know that he had done those things but I forgave him, and again.'' She smiled upon him and turned back to her friend. ''Just like Fluttershy does with Discord. It's to show our devotion towards them.''

She held his hoof which broke Pinkie Pie even more. Her poofy curls inflated and turned away from them so she could walk away.

''Pinkie Pie?'' she asked, ''are you okay?''

Pinkie Pie turned around, revealing her eyes on the verge of tears.

''NO!'' she snapped. ''I am not okay! Do you know why? Oh no! You don't because you have been spending so much time with him that you barely even recognise me anymore!'' She took a deep breath to continue further. ''You probably don't even like me anymore, that's why! You think I am dumb! You think I know nothing! But you are right! I actually don't know anything! I don't know my sexuality and I don't know if I have feelings for you because...because my heart keeps shattering inside my chest whenever you touch or kiss him!''

She breathed heavily and soon recognising her reflection in the puddle she had made with her tears. She had never seen herself like this before. What has she become into? Her angry facial expression soon drifted away to replace it with a sad one.

Rainbow Dash widened her eyes at her outburst and the last bit she had mentioned. Soarin was also shocked to hear something like this from a charismatic pony like her.

Pinkie Pie cuddled herself on the ground, sobbing in her hooves. Rainbow Dash trotted towards to lay a comforting hoof on her shoulder.

''Pinkie Pie,'' she calmly said. ''You are not dumb and I never thought so! I have always thought you were an amazing pony who I could always count on and have jokes with!''

Pinkie Pie sniffed. ''Really?''

''Yeah, and I truly am sorry for not hanging out with you ever since...'' She looked back to her boyfriend and blushed. ''Anyways, you say you have...f-feelings for m-me?''

Pinkie Pie's head perked up as she mentioned that. ''Y-You heard that part?''

She rubbed the back of her neck and ruffled back her wings.

''Yeah...I did.''

They both said nothing for a while and it was just awkward silence, except Soarin was munching on pie in the background.

''You know? I should have kind of guessed you had feelings for me,'' she said. ''I mean, we did have lots of fun together over the years and we are like the brightness of our group before it...fell apart, kind of.''

Pinkie smiled slightly. ''Yeah, like that time when Twilight was first introduced into Ponyville.''

''Or, when I secretly tried to like your pies.''

''When we had a stampede and it was only us on the buffalos' side.''

''When Applejack was running away from us because she never once scored a blue ribbon.''

''When I became into Pinkamena because you all kept ignoring me.''

The two ponies fell on the ground and started laughing.

Rainbow Dash continued. ''What I mean to say is that just because I am straight and have a boyfriend doesn't mean I don't have time for my best friend.'' She smiled as she wrapped her hoof around her friend, who also gave a smile in return.

She pulled away as another thought occurred to her. ''Hey! Don't you already have a boyfriend? Cheese Sandwich?''

Pinkie Pie blushed. ''That is what I am confused about! I have a boyfriend but...I also have feelings for you! How does that make sense?''

''Might I ask how these feelings happened?'' she questioned.

''Well...it sort of happened when Gilda was taking you away from me and well...''

''Woah,'' she marveled. ''That long?''

''I know,'' she muttered under her breath. ''It's embarrassing for me.''

''No, I mean...that is amazing how you can, well...''

Soarin spat out his pie and trotted up towards the two mares.

''Hey!'' he called. ''You aren't breaking up with me because...?''

''What?'' Rainbow Dash looked at her coltfriend. ''Of course not!'' She pecked him on the cheek.

Pinkie somewhat had felt happy for them now. She had her boyfriend and so did her friend and they are both happy. Hopefully, she can shake it off with some yummy delicious chocolate donuts. She drooled over as she thought about it.

I trotted on over to her and wrapped my hoof around her neck.

''Well, Pinkie Pie. I sure am proud of you. You have officially earned my respect.''

''Proud of me?'' she said with a confused expression on her face. ''Why?''

''For finally speaking up for yourself and telling how you really feel. Pinkie Pie, if you ever need somepony to talk to...you have your friends and even if they are busy, you can always talk to me even when ponies think you are talking to no pony.'' I winked at her.

Pinkie chuckled. ''You have never really said anything good about me, just annoying.''

''Yeah, well...'' I nudged her in the side. ''I was wrong about that. Now, how do you feel about a chocolate milkshake?''

Author's Note

Also, I don't actually think Pinkie Pie is annoying! I love her, she is my favourite character!

I ship PinkieDash, AppleDash and SoarinDash

I have no idea how I added myself in this chapter. I guess because Pinkie Pie always talks to the audience and hears the narrator...

I honestly don't feel like Rainbow Dash would ever act like this, especially for a boy! She's better than that! But hey! Just go with it.
