Sorry everyone for not writing my other story "Rarity Gets Lucky", I have been to pre-occupied with school and you know how that all goes. Plus my computer broke so I wasn't able to get to my files. But, in the mean time I was writing this, hope you enjoy. :)

-PART 1-

It was your average, typical, normal day in Ponyville. The sky was clear, the sun was shining bright as ever, and the inhabitants of Equestria were living in peace and harmony. But today was going to be a very special day for Rainbow Dash. A day neither she nor her friends would ever forget… Rainbow Dash had just finished clearing the clouds when she saw Pinkie Pie bouncing over to her happy and hyper as ever.

"Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash!"

"What?"

"I've been looking for you all day! Well at first I thought you were hiding from me because you didn't want to come with me to get the special ingredient for my cupcakes, but then I was like- NAH! Rainbow Dash wouldn't do that to me."

Rainbow Dash gasps as she remembers her promise to the pink mare. Pinkie Pie was more right than she knew, Rainbow Dash didn't want to go with her.

First of all the special ingredient Pinkie Pie wanted was deep within the everfree forest, a dark and forbidding place that Princess Celestia banished the evil ponies to. Pinkie would normally take Rarity to go with her because Rarity herself used the so called "special ingredient" for some of her accessories. But recently she's been visiting the Swayback Mountains for her dyes, and tagged Applejack along for the ride.

Deep inside Rainbow Dash felt honored that Pinkie Pie chose her out of all her friends to make the journey. But at the same time felt disappointed because a few hours ago she came back from Cloudsdale drunk and tired with the wonder bolts. Dash wanted to find an excuse not to go, but found it imposable to think with Pinkie Pie bouncing up and down in front of her. So Dash sighed and said:

"Alright Pinkie… let's go."

"Yay! We're goona have so much fun! Just you, me, and this bag of goodies!"

"What kinda goodies?" asked Rainbow Dash curiously.

"Ohhhh nothin, He he, you'll see.

Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie Pie with the most curious of eyes. Never has that crazy little filly ever kept anything secret from Rainbow Dash. She decided not to think too hard about it, and assumed it was some kind of surprise or gift that she will receive later on in the forest. Although… Pinkie has pulled a few great pranks on Dash, and it made her paranoid. What would be the point? It couldn't be anything embarrassing since nobody would be there to see it other than Pinkie.

Rainbow Dash had a lot of things that made her want to tell Pinkie that maybe it would be a better idea if she could stay in Ponyville, and go next month since she felt so hung-over and tired. But Dash knew that Pinkie Pie wouldn't take no for an answer, and chose to go with her on her little quest.
