Love Comes In All Colors

It was a dark and rainy night. A chariot flown by two pegasi landed into the streets of Ponyville. Out of the chariot stepped the newly Mrs. Cup Cake, along with her husband Carrot Cake. The two of them had just returned from their honeymoon and were glad to see the familiar sights of Ponyville once more. But not so glad to have come back in the rain. The couple dashed down the sidewalk and to Carrot's family's bakery that they now owned. Carrot unlocked the door and ushered his wife inside.

"Well that was some honey moon." Mrs. Cake said laughing. "I never expected anything so fancy."

"No expense spared for my darling Cupcake." Mr. Cake said, nuzzling his wife. "But the night's not over…" Mr. Cake froze.

"Dearie what's…"

"Shush!" Mr. Cake put his hoof over Mrs. Cake's mouth. He nudged his head to a window, which was widely ajar. Mrs. Cake gasped. Carrot grabbed a rolling pin from off the counter and slowly looked around the bakery with it. Nopony was in the store area. He crept into back into the kitchen and turned on the lights. Carrot noticed that one of the cabinets was slightly opened. He quietly walked over to it and reached for the door.

In a flash it swung open and a pink flash ran out of the cabinet, passed Carrot, and up the stairs. The surprise of it all nearly swept Carrot Cake off his feet. Mrs. Cake saw the events too. Only she saw the blur much more clearly than her husband did.

"Dearie that was no burglar," She gasped. "That was a foal!" Mrs. Cake walked up the stairs and found the bathroom door shut up tight. She gave a light knock at it. "Hello? Are you in there? It's ok dearie we're not going to hurt you."

"G-go away!" Came a little filly's voice from behind the door. "Please just leave me alone!"

"Well this is our house dearie. And that's our bathroom. Could you please come out of there? I promise I won't hurt you."

"NO!" The filly shouted.

"Do you want me to call the police?" Carrot asked.

"No, let's just give her some time."

"Well ok." Carrot walked to his room, now disappointed that he wouldn't get to spend a night with his wife in bed.

Cup sat outside the bathroom door and waited. Every so often she would lightly knock on the door and ask if the filly was ready to come out. Each time she got no response. But Cup never left the door. This little filly needed her help and she wasn't going to leave her.

After a couple hours Carrot came back with a key in his hoof. He handed it to his wife. "Here sweetie, it's a key to the whole bakery. I just found it in a drawer."

"Thanks dearie." Mrs. Cake kissed her husband and unlocked the bathroom door. She slowly walked inside and looked around. She found a pink little filly with a straight mane curled up in the corner. She looked absolutely terrified and blood was running down her left eye.

"Go away!" The filly screamed.

"Goodness!" Mrs. Cake gasped. "Carrot call the hospital, this poor filly's hurt!" Carrot Cake nodded and rushed downstairs to the phone. Mrs. Cake knelt down and got eye level with the filly. "Shush, dearie don't worry. Everything's going to be alright." She took the filly and sat her in her lap. "What happened?"

"Some big mean monsters in the dark scary woods beat me up." She cried, tears and nose goo coming from her face.

"Oh my!" Mrs. Cake knew she must have meant the Everfree Forest. "What on Equestria were you doing in there? Where are your parents?"

"P-parents?"

"You know, your mommy and daddy."

"Mommy…daddy…" The filly started to cry even more. Mrs. Cake gasped and hugged the filly tighter. "Shush, shush, everything's going to be ok." She started to hum a tune that her mother used to hum to her when she was little. Slowly the little filly's crying stopped and she wrapped her arms around Mrs. Cake. She returned the embrace and kept on humming.

Pinkie's crying had gown down to a soft whimpering. She had her head buried deep into Mrs. Cake chest and was holding on to her tight.

"It's ok dearie," Mrs. Cake whispered while rubbing Pinkie's back. "Everything's going to be ok."

"But Dashie wasn't there…" Pinkie cried. "She doesn't want to get married to me…"

"Don't say that dearie. Just because she wasn't there doesn't mean she doesn't love you. I promise you that we're going to find her and get this whole mess straighten out." Mrs. Cake smiled. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Rainbow Dash's eyes slowly flickered to life. Her head ached badly. "Ugh…" She groaned. "Bucking hangover." She tried to rub the back of her head using her hoof, but her legs were bound together. "What the?!" She looked up and saw a forest scenery rolling past her as a wagon pulled her through it. "Where am I?"
