It's a glorious, sunny morning, the birds are chirping and foals play on the school's playground. All is peaceful and lovely on the exterior. But if you looked in the town more closely, you'd realize that all in not well with some of the ponies inside. A large example of this is within the confines of the local sweet shop Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow Dash wakes beside her friend Pinkie Pie and shortly after, realized what she had – no, what they – had done the night before.
Of course Rainbow loves the pink party pony, but not in that way. She had never even thought about it. At least, she hadn't consciously thought about it. Actually, it had crossed her mind a couple times. She'd never admit it out loud, or so she thought, but apparently after a glass too many of cider, her mouth had begun to utter words that she hadn't allowed it to.
For a split second, she glanced at the pink pony beside her. She doesn't want this, even if she had thought about it before, or does she? Maybe she does, but she really can't be sure. Why do feelings have to be so confusing? She takes a deep breath and silently slips out of the bed the two had shared the night before. No matter how she felt, being here wasn't helping. It confuses he. Everything is happening so suddenly, too suddenly. She thought she could deal with anything as soon as it came at her. But she wasn't prepared for something of this magnitude.
As soon as she was free of the tangled sheets and the pony still within them, she flew straight out the window, unwilling to risk a surprise encounter with the Cakes. They might stop her or ask why she's here. And then what if Pinkie woke up and tried to find her? At least this way, she'll have a chance to think on her own.
As she soared through the skies, she considered for the first time the idea of having a very special somepony. She had never really considered the idea before, why would she want one when she was planning the Wonderbolts as soon as the opportunity arose? She wouldn't want to get attached to someone just to have to leave them once she was offered a position. But it's already been some time and they haven't accepted her yet. Maybe she should give herself the chance to be with somepony since the opportunity probably won't come up soon.
Deep in her heart, she really does want to discover how it feels to know there's someone who really loves you as more than a friend. She had always thought before now that just having the other girls would be enough. But then there's the problem of figuring out if she really is into mares. She'd never considered that she could be like that. Of course, she'd never really imagined herself going either way. She hadn't had time what with all the practicing for the Wonderbolts.
She lands lightly on a cloud and lies down, the softness of the cloud cradling her. She closes her eyes, figuring that maybe a nap will help her to clear her mind.
Pinkie Pie woke a mere half hour after Dash left. She could still feel Dashie's warmth where the blue pegasus had been sleeping. She doesn't believe that Dash would leave her so suddenly and without warning. Instead of going with that option, she decided that Dash just wanted to play hide-and-go-seek with her. So with that thought, Pinkie searched all over Sugarcube Corner for her friend, but to no avail. Dashie was gone, but why would she leave?
The small earth pony wracked her brain for any reason her best friend would leave her with no warning. Why would she? Is Dashie really so mean as to leave her friend alone after a night like that? Pinkie begins to cry, but stops quickly as realization dawned on her and her mane deflated. Nopony leaves Pinkie Pie, especially not when she's at her weakest. Pinkie grins as a new plan begins to unfold in her mind, a way to keep her precious Dashie by her side forever.
With a renewed sense of joy in Pinkie's heart, and a plan in her mind, the party pony trotted off in search of Rainbow Dash. Oh, Pinkie thought to herself. What a lovely surprise I'll give her. Your time has come up, my love, you're number had been drawn. I only hope you're ready for what this little trick will cost you. Get ready, Dashie, because here comes Pinkemina Diane Pie.
