My take on a now removed chapter of Mane Mothers by MASTERMIND360. Thank you MASTERMIND360 for permission to do my own take. For further context be sure to read his story.

During a horrible hot summer day the girls are suffering when they learned about an ice cream contest. Wanting something sweet and cold and believing they are a shoe in to win with Pinkie they decided to enter, only to have to compete against the Dazzlings and if that isn't bad enough they corner Rainbow into making a bet, the losers have to serve the winners for a whole week.

Author's Note

Thank you MASTERMIND360 for this opportunity to give this chapter idea more of a chance to shine and I hope you get inspiration to continue the main fic.

Ice cream contest

Pinkie Pie panted as she wiped sweat from her forehead. It was a much hotter summer day than usual. She was currently trying to watch Darling Doo with Rainbow and Sunset, without thinking about the overwhelming heat. All three girls were wearing short sleeve t-shirts with short pants and flip-flops.

“I can’t take this anymore!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“You said it, Pinkie,” Rainbow agreed, before wiping her sweaty chest, “This heat is too much, that not even the air conditioning is enough for it.”

Sunset quickly took off her flip-flops and inspected her sweaty feet.

“Even my feet are sweating so badly. Come on girls. We have to find a way to beat the heat.”

Pinkie suddenly had the perfect idea. There was one way to beat the heat and to help satisfy her constant sugar craving, ice cream. Pinkie zoomed from the couch and rushed into the kitchen, where her older sister Maud was wiping sweat from Boulder. Maud was wearing a simple gray t-shirt and gray shorts with large gray flip-flops. Maud simply sighed as she watched Pinkie rush to the freezer and pull out the deluxe, super family share, no one person can eat the whole thing in one sitting tub of ice cream. Pinkie quickly opened it, only to find the container empty. Her face slowly morphed into pure shock and anger.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU MANIACS YOU ATE IT ALL! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!” Pinkie screamed so loudly that Princess Twilight from Equestria could hear her.

“Twilight, was that Pinkie?” Spike the dragon asked.

“For some reason, I think that was human Pinkie, Spike.”

Despite the screaming fit, Maud only looked at Pinkie with minor concern, before she walked closer to the erratic girl and gently took the empty tub of ice cream.

“Pinkie, how many times must I tell you to throw away the ice cream when it’s empty?” Maud asked her, “If I would have noticed, I would have gotten some earlier and you and your friends would have a way to beat the heat.”

Pinkie simply nodded while tears formed in her eyes. Even Maud found herself frowning at the sight, before she simply nodded with a small smile.

“With that said I will get more now and even buy several of those so-called impossible to finish tubs of ice cream. I swear the company that made that brand should meet you and reconsider the name.”

“Thank you, Maud,” Pinkie managed to say with a small smile, before wiping the tears.

Maud simply nodded, before she began to go on her way to the store.

“What’s going on, Pinkie?” Rainbow asked, as she and Sunset entered the kitchen, while Sunset was looking at her journal.

“Yeah, Princess Twilight apparently heard you all the way in Equestria.”

Pinkie blushed sheepishly at her outburst, before smiling nervously.

“We’re out of ice cream, but Maud is getting more, so we can beat this stupid heat.”

“Awesome! Ice cream sounds good right about now,” Rainbow exclaimed with a smile.

“The only problem is waiting for Maud to get back,” Sunset pointed out.

“That shouldn’t be too hard,” Rainbow scoffed.

“This is the hardest thing I ever had to do!” Rainbow exclaimed as she desperately wiped sweat off from all over her body, “Never thought I would agree with Rarity, but all this sweat is too much. I need a shower right now.”

Sunset was barefoot and rubbing her sweaty feet together in aggravation. She even found herself rolling her shirt up some more to desperately fight against the overwhelming heat.

“I actually hate to tell you so. No scratch that, despite the heat, I don’t.”

“Yeah, yeah. What do you want? A medal?” Rainbow scoffed, before rubbing her sweaty head.

Pinkie was lying barefoot and, on her stomach, on the floor, panting and gasping like she was currently dying. She managed to find herself grabbing a pen and paper from her hair.

“Let’s see. I leave my secret sweet stash to Rainbow and Sunset since they are my loyal childish friends buddies. I leave Gummy with Fluttershy since she loves animals…” Pinkie listed as she scribbled down on the paper.

Sunset pulled out her phone and decided to see if anyone else was suffering the heat with them, only to gasp at a surprising popular post.

“Girls, I have good news!” Sunset exclaimed with a huge smile.

“It better be good!” Rainbow told her.

“I will leave my joke books to Twilight since she is a bibliophile and maybe it will help her lighten up… Huh? What, Sunny?”

Rainbow and Pinkie moved closer to Sunset and gasped when they saw the post on her phone.

Suffering in the heat? Well, no more! The biggest Canterlot ice cream factory responsible for the deluxe, super family share, no one person can eat the whole thing in one sitting tub of ice cream is hosting an ice cream contest. Groups of three will compete to see who can eat the most ice cream. The winner wins a lifetime supply of their brand of ice cream. Even if you still lose you can all cool down by competing. Come to the park by noon for the contest.

“Ice cream contest! Free ice cream!?” Pinkie exclaimed with the biggest grin on her face, as she bounced around the room.

“What a lucky break!” Rainbow agreed.

The girls checked the time and saw it was 11:40.

“We better get going. Win or lose, free ice cream and we will still have whatever Maud has for us.”

“Please, with Pinkie we are a shoe in to win,” Rainbow scoffed with a grin.

Sunset simply grinned back, while Pinkie smiled excitedly.

The girls panted, as they finally entered the park and wiped their completely sweaty foreheads. Bearing through the heat outside proved to be even more of a nightmare, but in the end their craving for sweet and cold ice cream allowed them to persevere. In the park were various supply trucks filled with countless large tubs of ice cream. All three girls, especially Pinkie, found their mouths watering at the sight. The contest couldn’t start soon enough. In the center was a table, where a grown woman with white hair on the right, pink in the middle, and brown on the left, was checking a clipboard.

“Come on girls. The sooner we sign up, the sooner we can enjoy our tasty treat.” Pinkie told them, before rushing towards the table.

Sunset and Rainbow shook their heads, before rushing to catch up to their sugar crazed friend.

“Another group of three?” The Neapolitan haired woman said, before pulling another sheet of paper, “Sign your names here and take these so we can keep track of your group,” She continued, before pulling three tags with the number 5 written on it.

The group signed up and were about to go relax before the contest started, when a cocky voice spoke up.

“Well, well well.”

The three girls turned around and cringed when they saw Adagio Dazzle approaching with a cocky smile on her face. She was wearing an orange short sleeve t-shirt with matching orange shorts and flip-flops. Besides her were her two sisters who each had different grins on their faces. Aria’s grin matched Adagio’s and she was wearing a purple t-shirt with matching shorts and flip-flops. Sonata’s grin is one of excitement and she was wearing a blue version of what her sisters were wearing.

“Adagio,” Sunset sighed, “What are…”

“Leave this to us sweetie,” Pinkie interrupted, treating Sunset like a defenseless child, “What are…”

Sunset placed her hand on Pinkie’s mouth. Pinkie groaned, annoyed and angrily at Sunset’s action. Sunset was getting used to getting treated like a child in private, but to be patronized in public is too much for her.

“As I was saying. What are you three doing here?” Sunset asked, before removing her hand from the pouting party girl.

Pinkie fumed in annoyance at being treated like a child, only to realize she was doing the same thing to her and decided to let it go.

“Relax, Shimmer! Obviously, we aren’t going to kidnap you again out here in public with witnesses and the heat only puts us in the mood for one thing,” Adagio scoffed with an evil grin.

“Yeah, dummy had a good idea for once. We enter this contest and win free ice cream. Adagio and I don’t have as much of a sweet tooth as her, but we won’t say no to this tasty way to cool off and winning an endless amount for free is a great bonus.”

“What makes you think you can win?” Rainbow asked bitterly.

“Sonata, is like a bottomless pit when it comes to sweets. She’s always in the mood for them. She even bugged us to stop and get some on the way,” Adagio answered cockily.

“What?! I need my daily dose of Choco Tacos,” Sonata responded, before pulling out a handful of Choco Tacos and eating them all at once.

Rainbow and Sunset’s eyes widened at the display, while Pinkie only wanted to have some ice cream of her own. Rainbow managed to recover and simply huffed.

“Please, no one can beat Pinkie. We are going to be the ones to win.”

“Oh really?” Adagio asked with a devilish smile on her face, “Wanna bet?”

“What do you have in mind?” Rainbow asked.

“Simple. Losers become servants and do whatever the winners want within reason for a whole week.”

“You’re on!” Rainbow responded in the heat of the moment.

“Rainbow!” Sunset and Pinkie exclaimed.

“Get ready Rainbooms. To do whatever we want,” Adagio teased with a cocky evil smile.

“We are going to enjoy this,” Aria added with her own evil smile.

“Ice cream and my own servants. This is the best day ever,” Sonata added with a cheerful smile.

“Rainbow, what were you thinking?” Sunset asked.

“What? Showing these jerks not to mess with us!”

“You just gave the Dazzlings free rein to attempt to get what they want out of Sunset,” Pinkie pointed out.

“How? We will be there with her.”

“What’s stopping them from torturing poor Sunset to break her into giving the info?”

“She’s tough and won’t squeal, especially with us there.”

“But to last an entire week?” Pinkie simply asked.

Rainbow froze and didn’t answer for a couple moments, before she sighed and smacked her forehead.

“I really screwed up, didn’t I?”

“Not yet. Now we must win,” Sunset responded.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Neapolitan and now the moment we all have been waiting for! All of you will finally cool down from this overwhelming heat with some special, super slow melt, life lasting brand of the deluxe, super family share, no one person can eat the whole thing in one sitting ice cream.” She began, receiving cheers from the crowd.

Several monster sized tubs of ice cream were placed in front of the different groups. Sunset, Rainbow, and Pinkie found their mouths watering at the sight. Adagio and Aria simply smirked cockily, while Sonata had a large grin on her face.

“The first round is pretty simple. Your group must work together to eat this entire deluxe tub of ice cream. If you throw up you are disqualified, and your group loses a member. If the tub isn’t cleared by half an hour your group is disqualified.”

All the groups nodded and prepared their spoons.

“Ready. Set. Go!” Neapolitan announced, before blowing an air horn.

All the groups started eating. Pinkie began stuffing her face quickly and between bites would quietly shriek and groan from getting brain freeze, but it didn’t seem to slow her down one iota. Sunset and Rainbow weren’t too far behind and were more careful not to get brain freeze themselves. Sonata quickly tossed her spoon and simply placed her face on the tub and began to pig out. Adagio and Aria simply smirked and shook their heads at their sister’s display and decided their help wasn't necessary, though they would occasionally take a bite to beat the heat. Snips and snails managed to get brain freeze much to Trixie’s dismay and outraged when they decided to run away, crying about the pain. Trixie sighed and despite having so much left and most likely not being able to finish in time, decided to stay and enjoy the free ice cream and to still beat the heat. By the end of the time limit, Trixie still had a whole quarter to go and to her amazement the ice cream hadn't melted one iota.

“Sorry, Trixie. You know the rules,” Neapolitan told the lone girl.

“Can Trixie take the rest home and finish it?”

Neapolitan looked at others involved with the contest who simply nodded.

“We see no issues with that. Consider it a sample and feel free to buy some more.”

“Trixie, just might.”

Pinkie gently rubbed her head and tried to recover from her brain freeze. Sunset and Rainbow simply shook their heads at their friend’s display.

“For round two we decided to treat you to a simple large banana split. The same rules apply.”

Pinkie simply smiled at the large banana covered in all vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream and even all three of those syrups. This was a true work of art, and she was going to enjoy it. After her near-death experience earlier, this was more than needed. Hell, she wondered if the heat actually killed her, and she went to heaven. When the air horn was blown Pinkie tossed the spoon, causing someone to scream in pain. Pinkie shrugged and ignored the looks everyone gave her and placed her mouth at one end of the banana and began to eat it. Snapping out of their shock at the display, Rainbow and Sunset started working on the other side. Sonata was the same way and worked solely on one side, while her sisters slowly worked on the other. Throughout the banana split round, many other groups slowly began to lose their stamina and even dropped out. Lyra and Bon Bon tried their hardest to force themselves only to both throw up on their banana split. Both puked again and even cried at ruining a perfect dessert. They weren’t the only ones as both Pinkie and Sonata felt a disturbance and stopped. When they saw what happened they both shrieked and tears formed in their eyes.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU MANIACS RUINED A PERFECT DESSERT!” Pinkie shrieked at the top of her lungs, causing everyone to stare at her awkwardly

“GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!” Sonata continued, as she wiped her eyes.

“Twilight that was Pinkie again and I think one of the sirens we faced too.” Spike the dragon told the alicorn.

“I heard it too, Spike. Just ignore it.”

Both girls embraced each other into a hug and even comforted each other by rubbing the other’s back. After a minute everyone snapped out of it and the rest of the two girls’ groups decided to get their ace to get back in the game.

“Earth to Sonata! Get your butt over here and help us win!” Adagio commanded.

“Yeah, Pinkie, get over here and help us beat these jerks!” Rainbow told the girl.

Both girls quickly separated and slowly and awkwardly returned to their groups. Everyone managed to slowly continue the competition.

“Ok! The time wasted will not be held against you all and we will add an extra three minutes to the timer. Carry on.”

As the second round continued Sunset found herself getting a little nauseous and quickly began to rub her head and stomach. The Dazzlings noticed and decided to rub it in.

“What’s wrong, Shimmer? Hit your limit?” Aria taunted.

“Don’t worry, Shimmer. We won’t make you do things too terrible. Well, if you simply tell us what we need to know.”

“We all can’t handle our sweets,” Sonata added with an innocent smile, that put Sunset over the edge.

Sunset grunted in anger at the taunts and quickly managed to continue eating the banana split and even seemed to be getting faster the more she ate it. The Dazzlings were stunned at the display, only for Adagio and Aria to quickly scoff and focus back on theirs. Sunset at this point was closer and closer to rivaling Pinkie. Seeing her burst of speed Rainbow kicked it into high gear and like Sunset seemed to only get faster the more she eats. Meanwhile, more and more groups lost their appetite and were given permission to take their splits home to finish later. Vinyl and Octavia both only finished half after Derpy puked after finishing the first quarter. Flash Sentry, Microchips, and Bulk Biceps managed to finish, only to puke right afterwards. At the end only Sunset’s group and the Dazzlings were left.

“Here we are. Down to our final two groups. Behold the biggest, most impressive ice cream you will ever see!” Neapolitan announced, as a large, covered display was rolled out of an ice cream truck.

Pinkie and Sonata both gasped and felt their super sweet senses telling them this treat was unlike any other. The tarp was slowly removed, revealing a large ice cream fountain with waffle cones making up the bulk of the fountain walls and was filled with various flavors of ice cream. Neapolitan ice cream, mint chocolate chip, rainbow sherbert, cookie and cream, etc. They were all covered in chocolate, strawberry and butterscotch syrup. Pinkie and Sonata placed a hand on their hearts and appeared to have a heart attack from the sight.

“Sunny, Dashie, check my pulse. I think I died and went to heaven, and I supposed you did too since you are here. Then again it wouldn’t be heaven without my childish friends buddies.”

“Calm down, Pinkie! We’re all alive, going to eat that fountain, and win,”

“Think again Rainbooms! We will and you will all become our slaves,” Adagio taunted, before rubbing her stomach.

“Yeah, we will find out what we want, and it will be all your fault,” Aria added with a smirk, before rubbing her stomach.

“What’s wrong? Are you too full for more?” Rainbow taunted.

“Please, even if we are, there’s still Sonata. You all will crack at the fountain,” Adagio scoffed.

Unknown to even Sonata, her appetite was actually weakened, from her sisters making her do ninety percent of the work. She even found herself absentmindedly rubbing her stomach too.

“Are our two teams ready?”

Sunset’s group and the Dazzlings nodded, before going up to the fountain. Adagio and Aria became nauseous from seeing the fountain up close and right before they took their first bite, threw up on each other.

“Team 6 is down to their last contestant. Team 5 has more of a chance to win this one.”

“Sonata, it’s up to you to win and to allow us to get our info,” Adagio told her sternly.

“Yeah, dummy. So don’t screw it up!” Aria added.

Sonata simply nodded with an innocent smile before digging in like a pig. Pinkie practically dived into the fountain and began swimming in order to enjoy the contents. Rainbow and Sunset took rapid bites and slowly worked faster and faster. They found themselves quickly wanting more and even decided to help Pinkie eat the whole damn thing. They tossed their spoons and cries of pain from onlookers filled their ears. They shrugged too interested in consuming the fountain to care at the moment. They both dived into the fountain with Pinkie and began eating as fast as they could. Sonata was stunned that those two seemed to be getting crazier as time went on and actually found herself losing steam a little. It became to the point that what she would have swallowed instantly would take ten seconds for her to. Sunset noticed and gave the sole siren a cocky smile.

“What’s wrong? Losing steam, I see. Oh, how things are reversed now. Like you said, not everyone can handle their sweets.” Sunset taunted, getting a laugh from Rainbow.

“You tell her, Sunny!”

Sonata tried to force herself to go faster, only to find it much harder than she thought. The others simply got faster and crazier in their ways of eating the fountain. Sunset would dig through the fountain and swallow handfuls in a few seconds. Rainbow would slither like a snake and consume pieces while going around. Pinkie practically became a female tazmanian devil and could give the loony toons character a run for his money. Sonata gasped and was stunned at the other girls’ display that she found herself fainting from the stress.

“The last member of team 6 has passed out. After careful check of the rule book and putting it to a vote we find her disqualified. Team 5 wins, but they can go ahead and finish the fountain if they want.

The girls seemed to ignore her and simply continue consuming the fountain. After a few minutes all that was left was three pieces of waffle cone, that each girl began to slowly chew on.

“Did we win?” Pinkie asked innocently.

“Of course, we did, Pinkie!”

“That was great, and I don’t feel hot anymore,” Sunset added with a smile, before chewing on her piece of waffle cone.

“Yes, team five you did and without losing a single member to boot. We have plenty of tubs of ice cream for you to take home and here proof you won today,” Neapolitan told the girls, before handing them a card each.

“Just show this to the cashier at any store that sells this brand of ice cream, and you will get it all for free. Guard it with your lives.”

The three winners nodded with grins on their faces. Sonata finally woke up and was greeted to the sight of her annoyed sisters.

“Did I win?”

“No, dummy you screwed it up like always.”

“Oh. Can we have ice cream on the way home?” Sonata innocently asked, causing her sisters to glare even more angrily at her.

“More? After choking and losing your appetite earlier, you want more?” Adagio asked in pure anger.

“The nap seemed to have refreshed my appetite,” Sonata answered with an innocent smile.

Before Adagio could respond to that nonsense, Sunset, Rainbow and Pinkie walked right up to the group.

“Alright, Adagio, you know what you have to do.”

“Fine, only because when sirens make deals, they have to go through with them.”

“They do?” Pinkie asked.

“Of course. Do you really think I would on my own accord? I am forced to, but just know we will find a way to get what we want and take over.”

“Keep dreaming. Now you three get yourselves busy and start carrying all our tubs of free ice cream,” Rainbow commanded.

“I have to admit I thought leaving you two alone with Sunset would end in disaster but learning how you not only found a way to temporary stop the Dazzlings, and even got free ice cream out of it, gave me hope to trust you two more to watch over her,” Twilight told the group, before taking a bite of her ice cream.

After the contest the girls decided to call the rest of the group to relax with ice cream and to have the Dazzlings serve them. The Rainbooms were relaxing in front of Pinkie’s lawn, on lawn chairs, and in their swimsuits with bowls of ice cream in their hands. The Dazzlings were all wearing maid outfits and most of them were told to do demeaning stuff, while the Rainbooms took it easy on the third siren, due to her more innocent nature. Sonata was currently relaxing with Pinkie and the two of them were enjoying a tub of ice cream together.

“Don’t worry my new sweet enjoying buddy, we will get payback on Lyra and Bon Bon for ruining that banana split.”

“We better. Those two have committed the ultimate crime known to men and siren kind,” Sonata added, before placing a few Choco Tacos in the tub of ice cream.

Pinkie and Sonata quickly placed their mouths into the tub and began to pig out. Adagio and Aria were currently waiting for another Rainboom to give an order and hoped there wouldn’t be one for the rest of the day. Sadly for them, that wouldn’t be the case, as Applejack quickly took off her large red flip-flops, revealing her large sweaty feet.

“Pinkie, we can ask them to do anything, right?” Applejack asked.

“Within reason she said.”

“Which I assumed simply means things that are possible to do or aren’t illegal,” Twilight added.

“Great, I could really use a foot massage right about now. Which one of you wants to help me out?”

Aria and Adagio looked at each other and back at the farmgirl repeatedly, begging the other to suck it up and to do it. Adagio found herself nauseous at even the smallest sight of those sweaty stinky things. The worst part is how big they are. She found herself staring at her own smaller ones and groaned at the thought of having to tend to ones that are twice, maybe even triple the size of her own.

“Applejack isn’t the only one who wants a massage. I could use soft hands to tend to my back,’ Rarity announced.

Seeing her sister was distracted, Aria quickly jumped at the chance to do the less disgusting task and rushed right up to Rarity.

“Here, I have experience due to big hair over there making us do this to her all the time,” Aria told her, before squirting lotion on her hands.

“Thank you darling. Even though I know you jumped at the chance to do the less disgusting task, though I don’t blame you. Oh and no offense Applejack.”

“None taken, Rarity. Working all the time on a farm has its cons,” Applejack responded with a chuckle.

Adagio finally snapped out of it only to groan in anger at the sight of Aria gently rubbing Rarity’s back, leaving only her to tend to the farmgirl. She cursed under her breath and slowly made her way to Applejack.

“Really, Aria,” She grumbled.

“Hey, you snooze you lose,” Aria simply responded with a smirk.

“Well, at least this can’t get worse,” Adagio grumbled, as she slowly squirted lotion on her hands.

“Pinkie, I heard you won a couple servants from winning an ice cream contest and we can now get ice cream for free from now on.”

“Yes, Maudy. It was fun and since you are family feel free to use the servants too, right girls.”

The rest of the Rainbooms simply nodded. Maud even had a small smile at that response.

“The rest of the family will be pleased we can save on getting you your ice cream and that spares our budget for other things,” Maud said, before walking closer to Applejack.

Applejack smiled and moved a little to the left.

“Feel free to sit down, Maud. You must be exhausted having to go out in the heat,” Applejack told her.

“Thank you. My feet are killing me.”

“You know, Adagio here is giving me a foot massage. Maybe she can do yours with mine,” Applejack suggested.

Adagio froze at the farmgirl’s suggestion and hoped the older girl would refuse.

“You know, I think I will take you up on that offer,” Maud responded, before gently removing her flip flops and placing her sizable feet next to the farmgirl’s slightly larger ones.

Adagio groaned and felt a little nauseous at the sight of two pairs of big sweaty feet in front of her. The only thing that kept her going was knowing that refusing would have terrible consequences for her. Adagio sighed and got to work tending to both girls' feet, while cursing Sunset, her sisters, and Murphy for inventing that stupid law in the first damn place.
