Foot to hoof

Pinkie pie was jumping about in Sugar Cube corner, helping Mr & Mrs.Cake, with their baking.

She brought Them different coloured food dyes, bags of sugar and also shakers of sprinkles.

This was done in an upbeat, skippy manner like always, she hopped and skipped from room to

room, gathering the materials and ingredients. This continued for about forty minutes

until the order was complete.

Mr. & Mrs.Cake, don't often leave Pinkie in-charge of the bakery due to a few mishaps

that happened before, but today they had an important errand to do.

    "Pinkie, dear. We must be going, we need to make sure our stall at the Ponyville fair

     is perfect or if it needs work done. We wont be gone too long and there are only two

     orders for you to complete while we are gone."

Mrs.Cake, said while taking off her apron.

     "Okie dokie lokie, you can count on Pinkie pie!"

She said in a humourous tone.

     "See you later, deary. Just remember no--"

She was intterrupted by Mr.Cake pulling her out of the door, wanting to get to the fair in a

hurry. The fair was always his favourite event, he always wanted it to be perfect.

     "Bu-bye!"

Pinkie closed the door, and hopped towards the kitchen to begin the orders.

The kitchen was a vibrant one with pink walls a bursts of white painted onto them. The

cupboards were white, with a pink floral design ontop and a shiny purple knob.

The counter-tops were a light green with black metal strips seperating them at the joints.

Tiles on the floor, were a subtle yellow with a red diamond shape in them, the door was

wooden and pink, with a love-heart carved into the upper part of it.

Pinkie skipped to the oven, which sat on the left side of the room. She began to set it to a

temperature to begin preheating. As the oven warmed up she went to the fridge to retrieve

ingredients.

In a flash, she had grabbed all the nessecary ingredients; Eggs, milk, butter and of course,

A cupcake.

Because baking was hungry work.

She placed them on the counter-top, before she glanced at them looking for what else she needed.

Her ears began lowering slightly as she began thinking of what the order was.

     "How could I forget?"

She said to no-pony in particular.

She remained still for a few more seconds before springing full of life again, her ears

shot up, her mane puffed out and she leapt towards a cupboard nearby.

     "Flour, Flour, Flour, Flo-Here it is!"

Pinkie reached her head into the cupboard and grabbed the unopened bag of flour with her teeth.

She began pulling it out, struggling slightly.

The front part of the bag was out and was hanging in mid-air.

She continued pulling until the entire bag was out, but as it all came out and dropped, it

caused it to slip out of her grasp.

The bag hit the ground with a gentle thump.

A cloud of flour blinded her as it spread across the room.

      "Whoopsie!"

Pinkie said still dazed and blinded.

A few moments passed and she opened her eyes.

The kitchen was a mess.

      "Oh no, not again! Mr. & Mrs.Cake are going to be so mad if they see I did it again.

       NO. I must clean this up!"

Pinkie's voiced switched from a worried voice to a stern, commanding voice as she spoke.

Pinkie, twisted and shook her body to remove the flour that was on her, she then proceded

to skip out of the kitchen.

It was then, that the bell from the door opening rang.

      "Yay, customers! Welcome to Sugar Cube Co--"

She stopped midsentence seeing that it was Applejack and Twilight. Not only that but the

Princess of the sun too.

      "W-What are you doing here?"

She questioned the Princess, Twilight and Applejack.

      "Pinkie, we need you to come with us. The princess has something very important that

       involves us."

       "That means a journey! OH, And a journey means an adventure! Oh my gosh an adventure!

        That important-thingy is not a treasure chest by any chance is it Princess?"

Pinkie let out a giggle and began hopping on the spot.

      "Pinkie Pie. This is no time for jokes. I'm gathering all of the Elements Of Harmony,

       because I need your help."

The Princess said, standing tall.

      "Ohhhhhhh. Hmm. Well, I can't go now. The kitchen is a mess, and Mr. & Mrs.Cake did not

       like it too well the last time this happened."

      "Pinkie, you must come with us now. I don't often do this but, Pinkie. I am ordering you

       as Princess of the sun and Equestria. Come with us now."

Pinkie stared at the Princess as if she was some kind of idiot for a moment.

      "Okie dokie lokie! I just gotta go and turn off the oven!"

      "Fine, but please do hurry."

Pinkie moved almost as fast as a sonic rainboom when she shot into the kitchen, turned off the

flour covered oven and then came back out.

Her hooves now left a white dusty, on where she trotted.

       "Let us hurry, we still need the Elements of Kindness, Generosity and loyalty."

Princess Celestia declared as she motioned for Pinkie Pie to head out into the awaiting carriage,

All four of the ponies got into the carriage and prepared to give a certain yellow pegasus a visit.

Fluttershy was out by the chicken coop, like she is most mornings.

She was spreading chicken feed out for them to eat, making sure even the smaller, weaker ones got their

fair share without being hurt by the bigger ones.

The chicken coop was at the side of Fluttershy's cottage.

She lived on the outskirts of the Everfree forest. The thatched roof of her cottage often had many kinds

of birds nesting in it. She did not mind, as long as the animals were happy she would be happy too.

The walls were a dull white, but they were hard to keep clean with animals running around near the house,

dirt was bound to end up on it.

Fluttershy had finishes feeding the chickens and had placed the empty sack, from which the food was held, upon a small crate to the side of the chicken coop.

She suddenly felt a draft tickle against her coat, then the draft become more of like a strong breeze.

Turning to see where the sudden rush of air had come from, she saw Princess Celestia's carriage about to land near her.She tensed up. No matter how many times she had spoken to the Princess, she was still shy and nervous.

As the Carriage touched down, she saw three of her friends sitting in the back. She felt relieved knowing her friends were there and that things would not be as awkward for her.

The Princess stepped out of the carriage along with; Twilight, Pinkie and Applejack.

Fluttershy trotted over and bowed, before standing up to face the Princess, still feeling shy.

        "Fluttershy, I need you to come with your friends and I. All will be explained in due time, but for now I need you to       know that this is a matter of great importance."

Princess Celestia said making sure not to scare the shy pegasus.

Fluttershy let out a small squeak upon hearing it is important, she simply nodded, not wanting to accidentally ask too much, incase she angered the Princess.

She moved hesitantly towards the carriage and got in beside Applejack, as Celestia also got into place.

        "Who is left?"

Celestia said smirking a slight bit.

        "Hold still, Rainbow Dash, you are making me miss the stitching"

Rarity exclaimed, almost stabbing herself with the threading needle.

"How in Celestia's mane did I let you talk me into this?"

Rainbow Dash said moaning.

         "Oh stop whining Rainbow, you will look fabulous when it is done, besides...what is that saying, you pegasus say...No pain..no...I don't remember--"

         "No pain no gain! And I live by it!"

Rainbow interrupted and practically shouted in the boutique.

         "Well then stop complaining, and scoot a little to the left."

The cyan pegasus sighed and her face soon become a bored, blank expression.

She inched a bit to the left as Rarity continued stitching the white and purple dress that Rainbow Dash wore.

With each swift movement of the hoof, a stitch went in, and a needle came out, until the frilled ended of the dress was completed.

"There we go, the frills are fabulous with the vintage white at the tips. Don't you think so too, Rainbow dear?"

Rainbow just sighed again,

"Can I go now?"

"Oh, what, oh..Y-yes, yes you can, just let me take that dre--"

Rarity was stopped mid-sentence by the sight a large white Alicorn standing in her doorway, with several other smaller figures behind her.

"P-P-Princess Celestia?!"

Rarity said in a daze as she witnessed the most royal being in all of Equestria standing in her store.

Rainbow Dash was casually looking at the Princess as she struggled to get herself out of the dress. Celestia darted her eyes at Rainbow Dash before looking back towards Rarity.

   "Miss.Rar--"

Before Celestia could finish her sentence, Rarity was holding three dresses and almost shoving them in her face.

"This would look great with your mane oh and this with your cutie mark and oh my gosh this would be grea--"

Celeste raised a hoof and Rarity stopped her excited hysteria.

  "Miss.Rarity, I am not here on a shopping trip."

Celestia said in a stern voice making sure she was not misinterpreted.

  "I am here on a more serious issue and I would really like it if you would come with me and your friends, all will    explained in due time."

Rainbow Dash's ears perked up upon hearing this, and shot over, the dress trailing behind her.

  "Some problem?! We can handle it Princess! Don't you worry we can handle it!"

Celestia could not help but giggle.

    "Just come one...all will be explained"

With that Celestia turned and lead them to the Carriage.
