Rainbow Dash & Pinkie Pie: Captor & Captive

Chapter 1
Friday, middle of the day.
Harsh words and plans with way to long names.

It was another fine day in Ponyville. The birds where chirping, the sun was beaming, and of course everyone's favorite puffy-haired pink party pony was once again talking everyone's ears of with such speed that it was probably breaking all barriers known to pony science (yes, there is such a thing as pony science, just look it up at Ponypedia).
"AndthenIgotupandatesomecakeandbrushedmyteethandatesomemorecakeandwashedmyfaceandatesomechocolateandhelpedoutMr.andMrs.CakeandatesomecakewellnotMr.andMrs.Cakeofcoursebutcakewithstrawberryorwasitchocolateoohthatremindsmeofthetimethat..."
"PINKIE PIE!" Rainbow Dash yelled with such volume that the pink party pony fell backwards onto her rear.
“What's wrong Dashie, you don't like my morning stories?”
“It's not that I don't like them Pinkie,” Dash began. ''It's that I CAN'T FOLLOW YOUR STORIES!'' she blurted out with the the volume of an elephant giving a serenade.
“Dash is right Pinkie,'' Twilight added, “You talk so much and so fast my mind is actually beginning to forget important stuff like magic, friendship, and how to unlock the front door of my house.”
Pinkie butted in, “So is that the reason you're sleeping outside for three days now that Spike has gone to Canterlot for a lecture on dragons and gems?'' (Dragons and gems, yes I know. Lame excuse to exclude Spike from the story, sue me.)
“See? This is what we mean,” Rainbow said, once again taking control of the conversation, “Were trying to explain something to you and there you go again, talking like there's no tomorrow.”
Pinkie's ears lowered a bit from the harsh words, “But Dashie I didn't mean to-"
“That's just it Pinkie,” Rainbow continues, “You never mean it yet you always keep doing it. Don't you see that it really, really, REALLY drives ponies up the apple tree? Seriously, you are just TOO RANDOM!” Dash finished her sentence with more emphasis than she may have intended.
The last statement from the pegasus upset the pink pony more than her friends seemed to notice. Quickly turning around to hide her tears from the other two, she bid a quick, subdued "Okie dokie lokie," and ran of towards Sugarcube Corner, leaving her two friends staring after her. She quickly entered the bakery through the front door and headed straight upstairs to her room, drawing baffled looks from Mr. and Mrs. Cake who were working when she came running in.

''Rainbow Dash!! That wasn’t very nice,'' Twilight began, giving her a reproachful glare.
“Yeah, yeah I know,'' Dash replied huffily, ''But I can't take it anymore! Pinkie needs to slow down a notch or I'll go insane in the pony-brain! Aah! See? It's already beginning, who says insane in the pony-brain? WHO, TWILIGHT? WHO SAYS THAT?!”.
“Alright, alright,” the adorkable unicorn soothed, “Look I know for a fact that Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity feel the same way. So why don't you go get Applejack and I'll get Rarity and we'll meet up at Fluttershy's place for an emergency meeting?” and with that said both the ponies ran of to their respective goals to start "Operation-". (Well, the name will come up soon enough.)

Nightfall came. Twas everypony's time for relaxation, sleep, and sobbing into their pillows. Well, that last part only counted for the poor pink pony who had locked herself in her room, crying almost non-stop throughout the evening and into the night. When Pinkie hadn't even come down for dinner, the Cakes had spent a good hour trying unsuccessfully to get the uncharacteristically miserable pony to come out of her room, or at least talk about what was upsetting her. Finally Mr and Mrs cake left for their own bedroom, leaving a tray of cupcakes outside Pinkie's door, hoping she would at least eat something if she became hungry.
The problem wasn't that she wasn't hungry, this was Pinkie after all. The fact was that of all the ponies she was friends with, her Rainbow-maned, high flying, partner in pranks had always occupied a very special place in the hyperactive pony's heart. Now she was laying on her bed, her muzzle buried deep in her pillow and her straightened mane hanging at an all time low, even more than when she thought her friends didn't want to be her friends anymore. Pulling herself up from the pillow and sniffling while wiping away her tears, she looked up at her little toothless pet laying in the corner of her room in his own little basket.
''Oh 'snif snif' G-Gummy, why did Dashie snap at me like that?'' Pinkie whispered to her alligator, ''I t-thought, that a-after our days of b-being pranksters and the p-p- 'sniff' party they planned for me that she was f-f-finally opening up to me... Accepting me... Loving me...'' She whispered the last part of her sentence so softly that she could have given Fluttershy a run for her money.
Pinkie had truthfully always had a crush on Rainbow Dash, but never had the confidence to open up to her about it. She had thought about asking Rarity for advice or maybe some other pony, but it was the same each time, they all just considered her crazy, random Pinkie Pie, never taking her seriously.
''Why do people always say I’m so random, random doesn't sound nice, I’m s-s-special, fun, zany, right Gummy?'' A loud snoring sound from Gummy confirmed Pinkie's suspicion that she was indeed just talking to herself now. With a long sigh she laid her head down on her pillow and just decided to get some rest, although unknown to Pinkie rest would not come for a long time. The night had just begun.

Four shadows were gliding from street to street towards Sugarcube Corner, the owners of the shadows making sure that they would not be heard by any of the sleeping citizens from the peaceful village.
Stopping to the side of the bakery's front door the first shadow spoke up, ''So are we all sure this is the only way? It sounds like a crazily, stupid plan to me.'' revealing herself to be none other than Twilight Sparkle.
''No time for Ponying out,” The second shadow said, revealing herself to be Rainbow Dash, ''We already had to leave Fluttershy out of the plan, so now she's going to take care of Gummy starting tomorrow once we foalnap Pinkie Pie''.
“Can we please stop saying "foalnapping", y'all?” The third shadow said revealing herself to be Applejack, who was carrying a length of rope around her waist.
“Oh, so what do YOU call taking somebody without their free will from their home?” Dash sarcastically replied with a smirk.
''Point taken.” Applejack conceded, turning to the fourth shadow behind her. “So, Rarity, what I’m actually wonderin', now that I think on it, is what's with the chloroform, blindfold and duct tape anyway?” She asked the beautiful white unicorn with the fashionably styled indigo mane and tail, eying the gem encrusted designer saddle bags she carried.
''Well darling, we are about to abduct someone who will likely not come willingly and can be quite vocal. I presume that explains the duct tape and chloroform...... the blindfold is just an extra precaution,” Rarity explained.
“Yeah I know but what I'm tryin' ta ask is, why do ya keep those items in your night stand of all places, together with that strap-on and... lube?” Applejack replied now coming to her point.
“Well I- ahh uh w-we should hurry, the sun is about to come up right?” Rarity quickly said glancing away.
''Riiiiight, yeaaah...'' Rainbow Dash said leaving an awkward silence between the four culprits for a few minutes before Twilight took control of the situation.
“Alright everypony, time to start Operation: Kidnapping Our Friend and Preserving Our Friendship with Her by Helping Her Learn to Turn it Down a Few Notches and Not Talk Our Ears Off' Twilight whispered while extending her fore-hooves towards the others to initiate their secret (Bundy style) cheer. The rest off the gang, in a circle, placed their fore-hooves across each others', then pressed them together and wiggling them around, simultaneously raised them above their heads, ending the cheer with a soft, Fluttershy style "Yay".
While Rarity and Twilight where busy lock picking the front door, Rainbow whispered into Applejack's ear. ''After this I think we should start Operation: Coming Up with a Better Name for the First Operation,'' eliciting a snicker from the farmpony.

Sugar cube corner was as silent as... something really silent. Pinkie was sleeping soundly but not soundlessly, snoring occasionally but loudly, mixing it up with randomly mumbled words (HAH random even in her sleep). Suddenly the lock on Pinkie's began rattling lightly, and a minute later, the doorknob twisted, and in turn allowed the door to open and grant the four friends access into Pinkie’s bedroom. The four marenappers split up into two different groups and approached their sleeping target from both ends of the bed. The indigo-maned fashionista (and apparent sexual deviant) grabbed the chloroform from her saddlebag and soaked a rag which she gently levitated onto the helpless pink victim's muzzle. Suddenly Pinkie's eye started to twitch, causing the others to fear that she would wake up before cloth against her muzzle put her more deeply under. Applejack even began readying the rope in case they had to work fast. Luckily the chloroform worked it's magic and soon Pinkie was completely dead to the world, even her mumbling had stopped along with the snoring.

Removing the cloth, the others quickly got to work: Applejack hog-tying Pinkie's legs together while Rarity got the duct tape out of her saddlebag and ripped off two long strips to put around her pink friend's muzzle and across her lips. At the last second Rainbow requested to be the one to do it, and despite a quizzical look from Rarity and Applejack her request was granted. As Rainbow began applying the tape to her friends mouth, she couldn't help but get a satisfied smirk on her face, which turned into more of a leer as naughty thoughts ran through her mind. Noticing Applejack and Rarity regarding her with a silent looks of "What the hay?" she quickly backed away and turned around so as not to come of even more weird to her friends.

Twilight wasn't noticing any of the stuff that was happening since she was busy going over reading the letter they made that afternoon for a hundredth time. She was a perfectionist after all and she wanted to make sure that Mr. and Mrs. Cake wouldn't be overly worried about Pinkie in her absence. The note read that Pinkie had gotten up early and decided to stay with Rarity for the weekend, and also stated that Fluttershy would take care of Gummy. Pinkie was always free from her chores on the weekend so there was no danger of her being missed at work. As Rarity levitated the bound Pinkie off her bed and placed her across Applejack's back, Twilight laid the note on the pillow.

silent as the night the four ponies and their captive friend made their way outside, making sure not to awake the cakes or Gummy.
Once outside Rainbow took of in the air to scout ahead. Luckily it was still a few hours until the first rays of sunshine would spill over the horizon, and nopony was out in the streets.

“Alright we’re clear,” Rainbow said as she descended towards her friends, “Applejack where did you stash the cart?”.

“Third corner on the left side Rainbow,” Applejack replied while walking slowly towards their destination, careful not to unsettle the precious cargo on her back.

As they transferred the unconscious and bound earth pony to the back of Applejack's cart, Rarity and Twilight climbed on to monitor her during the ride while Dash and Applejack pulled the cart.

''I don't get why we are once again doing the hard work while you guys get to sit around on your flanks.'' Rainbow said with a scowl as they were preparing to depart.

“Stop your whining Rainbow Dash,” Rarity replied while pulling out a blanket to keep their captive warm, “You know you and Applejack are the strongest. Besides, I’m too sophisticated and Twilight's strongest point as we all know is her brilliant mind. And she can’t to pull the wagon with her mind, right darling.”

“Hey!” Twilight replied indignantly before thinking and forming her next words carefully, “You're right, actually, but i could do it,...if i wanted to pull the wagon that is."
“Off course darling,” Rarity said while petting her partner in crime's mane. “But do excuse me if right now I'm more worried of getting out of here before some pony spots us”.

And with that the cart began to move onward to an unknown destination with a still sleeping Pinkie on it.
