Friending Troubles

The pink pony, ran as fast as she could to Rainbow Dash, "Oh please, oh please say Valor hasn't met you yet!" Pinkie thought. Pinkie skidded to a halt and peered up at Rainbow's Could Castle, "Rainbow! Rainbow!" Pinkie Pie yelled, "You there?" Rainbow flew out of her home and landed on the ground beside Pinkie, "Yes, Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in all of Equestria, is at your service!" Rainbow grinned at Pinkie Pie. "Rainbow Dash, is there anything you want to do?" Rainbow thought a moment, "Well I heard there was a new pony in town and I was looking forward to seeing if he had a pair of wings, so we could race!" Rainbow's eyes light up at the thought of a challenge. Pinkie's eyes got wide, "Ah- No, I mean- Do you want to make Cupcakes? Or we could go prank some pony!" Pinkie said desperately, wanting a friend to be with that wasn't fawning over Valor. Rainbow replied, "Nah, not today Pinkie, I want to be ready if this guy -does- have a set of wings and wants to put them to use!" Rainbow smiled. "See you later Pinkie!" and like that Rainbow was gone.
Pinkie Pie hung her head kicking rocks out of her path, "Why am I the only pony of my friends that Valor Strings doesn't like?" Pinkie beamed, "One left, Flutter Shy!" she ran to Flutter Shy's Cottage as fast as she could. Pinkie Pie crashed through the door with kittens and puppies gathered around her. "Flutter Shy, I brought Mrs.Casts puppies! I know how much you adore playing with them!" Pinkie grinned. Flutter Shy, hiding in the corner scares from Pinkie's surprising arrival said, "Oh that's just wonderful! But I was on my way to watch Rainbow Dash and the new pony in town race." Pinkie's smile faded, "Oh... well i'll just go home then.." Flutter Shy watched Pinkie Pie leave wondering why she was so gloomy.

Pinkie wandered through the streets hearing the buzz of the new pony accepting Rainbow Dashes challenge, but they would race in the annual Running of the Leaves. "No pony has been able to beet Rainbow Dash in the Running of the Leaves!" she heard throughout the town square. "Every pony that wishes to see the Running of the Leaves, report to Sugar Cube Corner!" yelled the mayor. Pinkie shot up and thought, "That's it! I'll join the race and show that nasty old Valor who's fastest pony!" Pinkie Pie grinned for ear to ear and headed on her way to Sugar Cube Corner.
