Too Much Pie

“Help Me!”

Rainbow Dash deadpanned. It was yet another day of having to deal with Pinkie, and by her mangled pink mane and wild eyes, today seemed like as good as day as any to shut the door without a word. But this was Pinkie Pie. When a friends in need you help them indeed.

“Please! Dashie I really, really, really, really, really-” Pinkie was cut short with a blue hoof over her mouth.

Rubbing her head with her other hoof, Dash sighed. “Okay Pinkie, what’s up?”

The overzealous pony started garbling something, having to start all over again once Dash had actually removed her hoof, eyes rolling.

“Look! I’m really sorry. But Mr. and Mrs. Cake left and I got Pumpkin and Pound and they started crying and the flour wasn’t working and I tried that care and share song but that never works and I decided to get Gummy and all he did was sit there like a lousy lumpity lump and then the twins went missing so I thought that there was no way I was going to find them so I panicked and thought ‘Where would a baby even go?’ and it hit me that of course a baby would know so I…I…I don’t know. It seemed like such a good idea at the time!”

“Pinkie?”

“….Heh, they’re behind me aren’t they?”

Poor Rainbow didn’t stand a chance as she was assaulted by three little pink fuzz balls  Pinkie watched with a very guilty smile as the mini-pies bounced all over the pegasus, trampling her into the ground.

“So, if you aren’t doing anything….Ihavetogofindthetwinsnowbye!”

“PINKIE!”

Okay, this wasn’t so bad. Rainbow had survived the hogtying, the hair dyeing, the cherry burrito volcanoes, and at last the tiny devils had given in to eating their alfalfa. All Dash had to do was promise them a years worth of flying lessons. Only one of them had wings, however. Yes, wings. Pinkie had some big time explaining to do when she came back, but for now Rainbow was too tired to rack her brain around how the others, a unicorn and a regular ol’ earth pony, or Pinkie that is, had been able to get to her cloud home in the first place.

“Okay -” Panting, she wiped her mush covered face off with the only clean kitchen towel left. “Guess next would be bath time…..and where are the other two?”

The little unicorn Pinkie looked to her sides before shrugging. Grumbling Rainbow picked up the filly before starting her manhunt for the troublemakers. As times she swore she could hear giggles coming from behind her or overhead but each quick look yielded empty air.

“Guys this isn’t funny anymore!” No, no it wasn’t. Almost an hour had passed since Rainbow had lost track of the kids. The one she did have was making it even harder to track the runaways by deciding the square of her back was a comfy napping spot. Why couldn’t the others be this easy?

Pinkie was in a positively ecstatic mood. The twins had shown up the last second in their cribs right as their parents walked in. So now everything was right as rain.

Something kept nagging at her brain though. It was this little voice screaming something that seemed so important at one point, but the little pony was so far off in her mind that the words faded long before they ever reached her. Pinkie was on her way to the library to tell Twilight of her crazy adventure when she passed by a storefront window. Within it her reflection was flawless and clear. ”…..Ooooh yeeeah.”
