Love Comes In All Colors

The next day Trixie’s cart was rolling along the path to Ponyville. Trixie sat up front with her horn glowing as she guided the cart. It was rolling at a steady pace. “We are making good time.” Trixie said. “We shall reach Ponyville upon nightfall.”

Rainbow Dash was sitting impatiently in the back of the cart alongside Cassidy. “Nightfall?! Can’t you make this cart go any faster?”

“At this pace we will travel the most distance in the shortest amount of time. Any faster and I will exert too much energy for us to travel anymore that day; meaning that we will lengthen our journey by hours.”

“Why can’t I just fly home and wait for you girls there?”

“Because unlike you, The Great and Powerful Trixie knows the way. Just be penitent. I do keep a couple books in my trunk if you really are that bored.”

Rainbow Dash opened the trunk in the back of the cart and shifted through it. She found books alright, but not the type she was expecting. “Um Trixie, these aren’t exactly what I would read around other mares…HOLY CELESTIA! Spitfire was on a Playmare?!”

Trixie’s face turned bright red. “THE BIG TRUNK!” She shouted. “And don’t even think about stealing that issue!”

Cassidy looked at both the mares with confusion. “Rainbow Dash, what is a Playmare?”

“Hehe…nothing you need to know about, Cassidy.”

“Oh come now, Rainbow Dash. If she is going to renounce her Amish life, then she should learn everything about real life. And might I suggest bathing be the first thing you learn?” Trixie gagged again.

“I’ve been bathing regularly ever since I went to live with Pinka…Pinkie.” Cassidy scowled.

“Must be those other Amish ponies then. Honestly, why in Luna’s name can’t they just take a bath like everypony else? Was there some sort of…” Trixie screech the cart to a halt.

“What is it now?” Rainbow Dash pouted.

“We are being followed.” Trixie shot glances all around the cart. “Aha!” She used her horn to grab a filly out from the bushes a ways behind the cart. She levitated her in front of them. “Who are you and what are your intentions?”

Cassidy gasped. “That’s my sister!”

“Really?” Trixie sniffed and nearly vomited. “Yes, it certainly smells like one of yours.”

“Sister,” Cassidy said concerned, “what are you doing here? Are mother and father close behind?”

“No, they are not.” Sarah said. “As to their knowledge I am in my room to be alone in my woes. When in reality I am here following thee.”

“But why? Why have you run away from home?”

“I care not for mother and father, sister! Thy are the only pony I wish to be with. I cannot bear thee to leave a second time. So, I have decided to accompany thee on thy trip to the land of Pinkamena Diane.”

“Well, I guess Pinkie gets both her sisters at her wedding now.” Rainbow Dash smirked.

“Well, if you’re to be traveling with us,” Trixie said, “then you’re going to have to take a bath!”

“Certainly…what is a bath?”

Early the next morning Twilight was on her way to tell her friends the good news. The DNA spell that she had been working had worked. Spike had impregnated her! She still wasn’t sure what the foal would look like; or if it would even be a foal at all. For all she knew she could lay an egg in the next month. But no matter what it looked like it would still be her…”CUPCAKE!”

Wait…what? Did Pinkie just interrupt Twilight’s narrative? Oh great, she’s got me breaking the forth wall now too. I’m not even supposed to exist. Whatever, it’s best not to question Pinkie Pie, especially when it comes to the forth wall.

Twilight looked in front of her and saw Pinkie running through the streets chasing a cupcake that was being dragged by a magical rope. “Come back here!” Pinkie shouted as she chased the pastry. “You’re not the first cupcake to run away from Pinkie Pie!” The cupcake stopped for a second and Pinkie crept up on it like a cat. When she attempted to pounce the cupcake took off again. Pinkie hissed and chased after it.

Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack saw this too and could just make as little sense of it as Twilight could. But the four of them knew that they should probably follow her and make sure that she doesn’t get into any trouble. Pinkie pursued the sweet treat all the way to the edge of Ponyville. There a unicorn in a blue cloak was reeling in the cupcake with her horn.

“Trixie!” Twilight shouted when she saw her. “What do you want?”

“My concerns are not with you, Twilight Sparkle.” Trixie said. “They are with Pinkie Pie.”

“If you’re trying to find out what makes her Pinkie Pie, then good luck.”

“No, though I have given the subject some thought in the past.” Trixie’s cart popped out into her traveling show stage. She walked down towards Pinkie. “Pinkie Pie, what is your heart's greatest desire?”

Pinkie thought for a second. “Well, I really, really want a chocolate cake big enough for me to make a house out of. Then I’d throw a party inside of it so we could all eat it. Oh, and I also want wings and a horn.” She paused and looked to the ground. “But what I want the most is Dashie back…”

“Hmm…The Great and Powerful Trixie can do that.”

“You have a giant chocolate cake?!”

“No.”

“You can turn me into a princess?!”

“No! I can make your heart’s greatest desire come true.”

Applejack stared daggers at Trixie. “Trixie, ya’ll have three seconds ta high-tail yer lying flank outta here.”

“What? The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn’t not lie. Illusions yes, but I do not lie.”

“Ah still don’t trust ya.”

“Please, Applejack!” Pinkie shouted. “I want her to bring Dashie back!”

“Fine…” Applejack sighed. She stared back at Trixie. “But no funny business or you’ll have a hoof in yer flank all the way ta Manehatten.”

“Now watch as The Great and Powerful Trixie makes this filly’s greatest desire come true!” Fireworks shot out of the top her cart. “First, dramatic buildup! I shall now bring back those you wish to see the most! Starting with your sister!” Smoke appeared on stage and Cassidy was standing there.

“Casey?!” Pinkie tackled her older sister and examined her all around. “Oh my gosh, it really is Casey!” She hugged her tight and was nearly about to start to cry.

“Do not start to cry yet my dear Pinkie Pie, for I can stop that. How would you like to see not one, but two sisters?” More smoke puffed onstage and Sarah was standing in the middle.

“Sarah?! Oh my gosh, I haven’t seen you since you were an itty bitty filly!”

“I wasn’t that much younger than thy…” Sarah blushed.

Pinkie sniffed her. “You smell clean.”

“I took a bath…”

“And last but certainly not least!” Trixie paused for dramatic effect. This time red smoke appeared on the stage and fireworks shot out of the top of the cart in a grand display. Then Rainbow Dash flew out of the smoke, tackled Pinkie to the ground, and locked into the deepest kiss of her life with the mare. Pinkie couldn’t believe it. She didn’t tell anypony, but she had secretly started to give up hope that she would ever see Rainbow Dash again. Now here she was kissing her. All Pinkie could think to do was kiss back and cry.

Rainbow Dash cried as well. She cried tears of joy seeing her lover for the first time after a week of being captive and nearly dying. But she also cried knowing that she would have to go behind Pinkie’s back and betray her. But that didn’t matter now. She was with Pinkie and that was all that mattered. The two mares kissed until they need to pull out and breathe.

As soon as they did, Applejack grabbed Rainbow Dash. “Where the buck have ya been?!” She shouted. “Ya’ll just disappeared without a trace the night before the wedding!”

“Well I…” Rainbow Dash tried to say but was cut off by Applejack.

“Do ya have any idea how Pinkie felt?! Ya’ll broke her heart!”

“I…”

“You better have a really good explanation for this, young filly!” Rarity shouted.

“If you would just let me…”

“And Pinkie even tried too…” Fluttershy couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.

“Ahem!” Trixie interrupted. “If you would shut your mouths for a second we can explain everything over a cup of tea.”

Back at Sugar Cube Corner, Trixie, Rainbow Dash, and Cassidy told the mares the entire story. Fluttershy couldn’t comprehend how anypony could be so evil. Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity were disgusted that anypony would do such a thing. But Pinkie took the story the hardest of all.

“Mommy and daddy tried to kill you?” She asked.

“Yeah…” Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie started to cry on the table. Rainbow gasped and hugged her. “Hey don’t worry about, I already knew your parents were horrible. And I sure as hay don’t hate you for what they did!”

“You don’t?”

“Why the buck would I?” She kissed Pinkie. Pinkie kissed back.

“Does this means the wedding’s back on?” Twilight asked.

“Buck yeah!” Rainbow Dash shouted. “And I promise I’ll be there this time.”

“Great, I’ll write Celestia right away and tell her that.”

Later that night, after everypony had gone home (Sarah and Cassidy were sleeping in an apartment that the cakes had rented for them), Rainbow Dash found herself being dragged up to Pinkie’s room by the pink mare herself.

“Wow!” Rainbow Dash shouted. “Where are we going?”

“I can’t wait any longer, Dashie.” Pinkie said. “I wanted to wait till after we got married, but since mommy and daddy took you I feel like I’ve waited too long.”

“Too long for what?”

Pinkie shut the door and locked it. She jumped onto her bed and spread her legs out. “Take me, Dashie…”

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widen. She started to drool with excitement before jumping in bed with her bride-to-be.
