A Little Dash of Pinkie

RainbowDashXPinkiePie. This story takes place after the events of 'Applejack's Rope Trick'.
...
A week had nearly passed since Dash and Pinkie were almost raped by the 'rape squad' and then rescued by Big Macintosh. The case was so prominent that the Princess Celestia herself intervened in their case. By Royal Proclamation, she sentenced the two Unicorns, two Pegasus and two Earth Pony stallions to one month of community service... as mares. They all complained as if they were getting death sentences, but Dash and Pinkie were personally invited to Canterlot to witness the execution of the punishment on the offenders. In her judgement, she promised the stallions turned mares that if she should ever hear of them even treating one lesmarian in a suspect way, they would be changed into mares permanently.
Dash and Pinkie returned to Ponyville to find that their friends had set up one hell of a welcoming party for them. Everypony who was anypony was invited to attend. They found out that the whole shindig was in fact paid for by the Princess Celestia personally. It was still somewhat odd that Fluttershy, who missed the housewarming party, had not bothered to show up for this party either.
Dash promised herself that she would go out to Fluttershy's house to find out what the deal with her was. She would have felt terribly if Fluttershy was somehow alienated and too uncomfortable to show up and see the happy lesmarian couple any more.
The party proved to be a smashing success even though Pinkie Pie had no hoof in its planning or its execution. Even the reclusive Zecora was somehow coaxed into attending, and that was quite a feat by itself. She gifted them with a strange magical brew that she assured them would allow one of the mares to impregnate the other with absolute certainty once they decided they were ready to have their first foal. Dash placed it in their newly installed safe, and wondered if Pinkie would ever be ready to undertake the responsibility of birthing and raising a colt. Dash felt she had way too many things to do before she would be saddled with a family.
Spike once again embarrassed Twilight Sparkle. This time, he persuaded Rarity to make him a special dress just for the party. He said that for once, he wanted 'to feel beautiful as Twilight'. The outfit was actually more like a ballerina's costume than a dress, and he was more than happy to show off his (lack of) dance skills to everypony present.
And then Twilight got another pain in the backside when the Cutie Mark Crusaders tried to get their cutie marks in playing 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. It was more like Apple Bloom was playing 'Pin the Tail on the Twilight'. Scootaloo tried to 'Pin the Tail on the Rainbow Dash', and Sweetie Belle... she pegged poor Big Macintosh in a rather sensitive place that dangled between his hind legs that made him yelp loudly and jump about 2 feet into the air... enough said about that.
Then Big Macintosh kind of took everypony by surprise by giving Twilight a kissing lesson right in front of everypony present. The kiss lasted for a full minute, and most were sure his tongue got into her mouth for the better part of the kiss. Most people would swear that Twilight blushed for the rest of the night after that little display of his.
The party broke up a couple of hours before sunrise, except for the Apple family who left shortly after sundown. The Crusaders needed their sleep, and Applejack and Big Macintosh both would get up right at the crack of dawn to perform their daily chores. They were usually so down to earth, hard working, and generally responsible.
Dash and Pinkie bathed together, and then crawled into bed together. They fell asleep entangled in each others forelegs after sharing a kiss like the one Big Macintosh gifted to Twilight during the party. While neither of them were surprised by the kiss, they both made the kiss hot enough that they made their partner blush.
...
When Rainbow Dash awoke early in the morning, she got out of bed quietly as not to disturb Pinkie Pie. She crept into the kitchen and are breakfast quietly, then slipped out as she headed out for the home of Fluttershy. Thinking ahead, she left a note explaining her actions and intentions for Pinkie on the night stand where she would be sure to see it when she awakened. Moving quietly, she slunk far enough away from the house that she was sure that Pinkie would not hear her take flight.
Flying out to Fluttershy's house, she was a bit surprised to find her door being answered by Nurse Redheart instead of Fluttershy.
"Good morning, Nurse," said Dash, "is Fluttershy sick?"
"She is quite ill," answered the Nurse, "and I need someone to go to the Everfree Forest to pick some five-leafed clovers so I can make a cure. I'm glad you came along because I can't leave Fluttershy alone long enough to get them myself. You can help, can't you?"
"Of course I can help out Fluttershy. She's one of my best friends."
"Well she's fortunate to have a friend as good as you, because she needs you now badly."
Dash set out for the Everfree Forest straight away. She decided to go see Zecora first, as she might just have some five-leaf clovers in her herbal supplies. Zecora was just the kind of pony who would pick that sort of thing and keep it in stock in case she needed it. Since they visited her the first time, Dash wasn't nearly as afraid to go see her, even when she was alone.
Soon, Dash spied Zecora's hut with her Pegasus vision. It didn't appear to be too much further ahead. She looked around, but she really didn't expect to see Zecora wandering around outside. Her hut just screamed that she was an outsider from a foreign land. Some exotic nation that Dash was sure she had never ever visited any time in her life.
Dash made her way to the front door and knocked upon it. She waited a moment and knocked again. After waiting another moment, she was about to give up when Zecora opened the door.
"Hello my dear," she said to hear, "What brings you here?"
"My friend Fluttershy is sick," she replied quick, "and I need a cure to stop the ick."
"Tell me what ails her, so that I might whip up a cure."
"I know I need the five-leaf clover, so that her illness soon is over."
"That cure I don't keep in stock, so we must look under a rock," said Zecora with look of shock.
"That I really do not know, under a rock does clover grow?" said Dash as she stare and want to go.
"That is a rare clover indeed, and I trust there is great need?"
"Fluttershy is rather ill, will the clover make a pill?"
"Not a pill my friend you see, you must brew clover into a tea."
"So I must get clover five-leaves, get it back to my friend who still believes."
"I know there cannot be much time, so why you speaking in the rhyme?"
"Am I being that bad? I hope that you are not mad."
"I am far too curious, to be with you furious."
"I guess I rhyme when I speak, as I try not to be meek."
"I understand what you are saying, perhaps with me you are playing?"
"My concern of Fluttershy is great, so let us go and not debate."
"I see that you have made you point, so let us split and leave this joint."
"So help me to find the clover, and our speech shall be over."
Zecora nodded earnestly, "Find the clover to make the tea, and bring it back to her quickly."
She turned and walked off into the forest with Dash following close behind.
