It was night. All was silent but a few crickets, chirping longingly for someone they had lost. Had they lost them on purpose? Was it an action out of fury? Or had they never intended to lose this dear person, only to discover that Life is more important then a small frown. None can tell this truth, but only the bearear of the tragic misfortune can bring back the joy of it's once perfect life.

"Hey Dashie!" Pinkie Pie beamed, her tuft of deep hair bouncing around as if it felt joy as well. Dash closed her eyes, begging for the now annoying creature to trek away.
"Helloo? Dash?" Pinkie knocked on Rainbow's mane gingerly, trying to gain the pegasi's diligence. Waving a cyan hoof in the clear air, Rainbow pointed in all directions.
"Go away.." She smuggly said, diving her head into her bright white cloud.
"But today is our cupcake day! You promised-" Pinkie's eyes began to belly up with saltiness. Hearing the start of Pinkie's rushing waterfall, Dash leaned her azure cyan body upwards and let out a heavy sigh of accompliciment.
"Fine..." Dash mumbled, flapping her energy-depleated wings with less then actual force. As Dash lugged her way down from a perfect view, she peered over at Pinkie.
"Pinkie- how did you even-!" Dash then began to gape at the alurring metallic object.
"It's a Pinkie Doo Flyer Crazy Party Super Mega 5000! Equipt with a Pie thrower!" Pinkie demistarted the slick feature and it began to toss flavors of nectarours smelling pie. Imagining there plummeting deaths, Rainbow beat her lazy wings and then began a nose dive and did a direct vericale angle, and saved the lucious pies. Breathing in, the pies suddenly absconded! Thrashing her head around, along with her mangled mane, Dash looked for the pies despretly.
"Silly! There just hollagraphs!" Pinkie giggled then snorted and patted the top of a cherry rubarb with red wine reduction and they seemed to fizz away.
"Wha- Whatever Pinkie. Let's just make those cupcakes." Rainbow Dash faking a smile.
"Kay! I decided we cduld make cotton candy cupcakes! But what is cotton candy? Is a CANDY! Or cotton? Bleugh!" Pinkie began fiddling through words that, well, weren't even words!
"Come on Let's just make them!" Rainbow cried, her sagging eyes closing and opening at a slow rate.
"Okay!" Pinkie began to pour in various ingredients, and Dash could've sworn she saw a giant whale be fixed into the batch!
"Done! Oh Wait!" Pinkie plucked off a piece of her own hair, then a a shred of Dash's, and placed then in the mixing bowl. As the dense metal whick clobbered the dough, Dash was tempend to scream. The sound of Pinkie's abscure mixer began to drive her insane.
"Turn that off, will ya?!" Dash grunted, giving her wings a small test flap, as if she was actully going to scream out to Equestria.
"Almost done!" Pinkie retorted, smiling. The innocent pale in her gave Dash a sense of sanity, and calmed her muscles. As the spinning machine came to a stop, Dash licked her lips, now pink with her saliva.
"Nu-uh! Almostt!!" Pinkie teased Rainbow as she poured the batter.
"Just- Ughh!" Rainbow became aggatated. She wished Cupcakes could just bake instantly!
"Done!!" Pinkie pulled out a tray of golden cupcakes, and a small cup of unhealthy-looking cyan frosting. Gulping down a sudden urge of delight, The bright pegasus threw herelf into the icing and glisening cakes. Sloppily pasting the fattining gloss onto the moist pieces of pastry, She shoveled mouthfulls of the undecorated, oozing cakes into her watering mouth.
Without reconcideration of poor, cupcake-less Pinkie, Dash slurped up the last of the cupcakes. Feeling her grouchy mood begin to evaporate into thin air, Dash flopped onto the floor, belly full of yummy carbs. Blinking, from the quickly disappearing cupcakes, Pinke held back a scream and tears.
"Wh-What about m-me D-Dashie?" Pinkie pie studdered, sounding like crying Fluttershy.
"Oh- Yeah! Sorry. Glad were done here! Anyways how were they done so fast- Oh wait! You probly had a fresh batch ready!" Dashie laughed, and stood up, getting ready to dash out.
"Wait-!" Pinkie stamered. blushed, trying to form a smile.
"I-I.. I love you, Rainbow Infinite Dash!" Pinkie's hooves became clammy.
"I-I- I always have!" Pinkie let the tears spray.
"Wha- Why did you tell me here?!" Dash fluttered her wings silently.
"Because- because I needed to!" Pinkie wiped her eyes.
"Pinkie- I don't Like you in that way... I-I'm sorry.." Rainbow backed up and slowly made her way out the door. As she virgourelsy tried to gain flight, Pinkie would jump onto her, and start to sob.
"Why! Why.." her pale eyes shifting gray and puffiness formed below.
"I'm not Gay!" Dash spat loudly. Everypony was now looking at them.
"Please Dashie!" Pinkie pleaded, her hoof heading towards her flank. Bucking wildly, Rainbow shook the somewhat crazed mare, and galloped into the afternoon air.
"Dashie!!" Cried Pinkie, her tears erupting all over ponyville. Regret filled Rainbow Dash's chest, but it was quickly blocked with pride. You did the right thing.You did the right thing. Rainbow repeated this saying under her breath until she safely at home. Hearing Pinkie's plead started to make Dash grow gloomy,tired, and tearfull.
"WHY DASH WHY!!" was the only words echoed by Pinkie the Rainbow Dash forced herself to hear. Was it really the right thing? Could Dash really tell Pinkie she felt the same and spark enjoyment of many fans of the Pinkie Dash/ Rainbow Pie mix? Or should she refuse her true feelings, and keep living a lie, forcing herself to love stallion parts? It wasn't an option. She had to lie. Tabloids would be swarming like parasprites if she had told the truth. As she thought about her false life, she continued to replay the cene of Pinkie's confession in her head.
"I love you Rainbow Infinite Dash!" was all Rainbow could listen to. She began to break down and bawled. Why did it have to be her and Pinkie? Why not someone she didn't have a combo with? Like Octavia or Roseluck!
