Ponyville Party Time (Pinkie Pie & Rainbow Dash)

[Pinkie Pie]

Silver and gold confetti poured into the air like a light rain from where Miss Pinkie Pie had tossed it over the balcony's railings above, framing the pink pony's defiant, grim face as she faced her squadron. "This. Team," she began, marching back and forth before her teammates--at this level of sugar capacity she was actually running--"has been brought together for the great and noble purposes of justice, liberty, world peace, taking cute baby pictures, and the highest most important goal of all: KICKING LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF BUTT. Are you prepared to face your destinies--" here, Pinkie knelt down to the eye level of a little unicorn who'd yet to get his cutie mark, and to him, she whispered, "--as champions?"

The team was stationed behind the snack bar, where colored jelly beans lined the bottoms of silver trays decked with jelly donuts and cupcakes covered in sprinkles slathered in colored frosting. Their rivals had to shout to hear one another from their position above the karaoke station separate from this competition. A giant blue screen suspended in air highlighted the words from the classic song composed just for the recent royal wedding as pitchy ponies gathered to the mike to sing along. "LOVE'S IIIIIINNNN BLOOOOOM A BEAUTIFUL, UH, BRIDE, A HANDSOME wait what's the word GROOM."

This was the first moment the whole night Pinkie Pie had gotten herself OFF the mike and let some other ponies have a turn! Everypony in Ponyville would could make it--who wasn't exhausted by the New Year's Eve Party--had shown up for this New Year's Day celebration! Giggling ponies at the tables surrounding the karaoke station slurped down pints of cider every time someone forgot a word, and everyone present was FULL of energy, if not from the excitement of the occasion, from all the sugar they were downing. A racing contest had started between the streamers: Pegasii vs. Ponycorns (what the earth ponies and unicorns decided to call the team they'd formed together, since they all clopped around on the ground in the same way, magic moot.)

Pinkie Pie was currently in the process of rallying the Ponycorns. Enraptured, the little pony nodded, and Pinkie Pie nodded back, and very seriously said, "Yes, young squire, I sense that you are ready, my brave, young friend." Pinkie straightened, and turned to face the pegasii strategizing above the karaoke station. She smiled, ready. "Okay, who is going to be the first racer? Stick up your hoof to volunteer!" Nopony, not even Pinkie's new friend! She was dismayed, but offered, "If you raise your hand I'll get you another slice of carrot cake!"

"We're all sick of carrot cake, Pinkie Pie!" moaned the little unicorn, "We just want to see you beat Rainbow Dash!" Pikie Pie laughed and laughed, "Well, hoping to beat somebody is no reason to play a game! This race is all about having a good time!"

"Yea, and we think it would be a pretty good time if an earth pony beat Rainbow Dash in a race!" called a hornless filly from the back of the group. "None of the unicorns at this party are fast enough," explained the baby colt. Pinkie considered for a moment, and then brightened. "Alright, guys!" Suddenly, her hooves wrapped in boxing tape, Pinkie snapped a sweatband round her head, and began throwing punches in the air as she cried, "You wanna know why they call me the Hot Pink Mess? Because I mess my competition up!" Everypony cheered, and Pinkie threw a mess of colored candy in the air, giggling, "With jelly beans!" She proceeded to catch most of them with her mouth. A couple of the ponycorns rolled their eyes, but they continued to cheer as Pinkie pranced to the karaoke station, where a new song had begun...

[Rainbow Dash]

Rainbow Dash had yet to arrive at the moment and was instead, wizzing around in the air above the designated race course, wanting to at least get some proper practice in before she were to race. A rather big grin was upon her face as she was feeling rather confident that she would be able to beat anypony that would want to challenge her to a race, after all, she was the fastest flier around.

Soon enough, she landed upon the ground, and a rainbow followed suit just above herself....but as she landed, immediatly she was put off by the off beat singing, as shown by the change in her facial expression as she let off a groan of sorts.

But that's when she eyed the gathered group and in turn, she flew over and landed in front of them and spoke up "You know something, whoever is wanting to challenge me to a race better give up while they still have their dignity left and go and have a bath now, because I'll be leaving you in the dust when I win this race"

"That would be Pinkie Pie" a unicorn spoke up.

Though Rainbow Dash just let off a laugh as she fell onto her back, still just laughing away until she stopped, propping herself up "No seriously, who's going to be racing me?"

"PInkie Pie is" the same unicorn answered her back, still sounding as serious as ever.

Rainbow Dash looked over to Pinkie Pie and just sighed as she got up and flew over to her friend, landing right next to her "You know you're going to loose against me, right?" she asked her, completely oblivious to the song that was about to start...

[Pinkie Pie]

"You know you're going to loose against me, right?" began Rainbow Dash before Pinkie Pie tucked the pegasus under her arm to begin singing along with the yellow earth pony at the karaoke station, "I'll be the toast of the town, the girl on the go. I'm the type of pony everypony--everypony should know!" Something about this greatly amused Pinkie and she began to giggle. "You may be the fastest pony in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash, but I'm not trying to compete with you!" She threw a few more air-punches with a deeply serious face she couldn't hold very long before she concluded, "A race just sounded like a lot of fun! You may have your fancy wings, but I've got fancy..." Pinkie checked out her handwraps, forgetting what they were called, so she just thrust them out in front of her friend with a big smile, "These things!" She giggled as she got into position on the starting line, and made a ridiculous pose, two hooves in the air, tail out straight, and snout pointed towards the door. Pinkie hoped it would make Rainbow laugh, since she knew she was kind of making a fool of herself. She winked when she asked, "Ready to taste dust, Rainbow? 'Cause you're about to! Featherweight, would you start the countdown?" Pinkie had addressed a small, thin pegasus colt above them who moved away from the pegasii, presumably to send off the two racers whenever Rainbow Dash was ready.

[Rainbow Dash]

"Then....why do you want to race against me?" Rainbow Dash questioned back, until her own question was answered by Pinkie again, stating that it just sounded like fun. That was rather....unexpected for Rainbow Dash to hear as she just looked at Pinkie Pie for a few moments before shaking her head.

"Yeah, well....I'm still going to beat you anyway, besides, I'm the fastest Pegasus in not just Ponyville, in Cloudsdale too, after all, I did win the Fastest Flier Competition, and I can pull off the legenday Sonic Rainboom" Rainbow Dash started to gloat back to her friend, still rather confident that she would be able to beat Pinkie Pie in a simple race, despite it being just for fun.

She then took her position at the starting line herself, crouching down somewhat as she did so, wings extended as she looked over to Pinkie Pie once again "So Pinkie....ready to loose?"

[Pinkie Pie]

"So Pinkie....ready to loose?" Pinkie's formidable opponent challenged her. "Are you ready to let loose, Rainbow Dash?" retorted the giggly filly in kind, "Let's get this party started!"

"Ten!" the scrappy filly above them began to count down. Pinkie put her nose to the line, rump high in the air. For fun. Her back legs began to boing up and down of their own accord--she could swear there was nothing she could do to stop them. She was too excited!

"Nine!" She pawed the ground with her front hooves and snorted aggressively like she'd seen racing ponies do sometimes.

"Eight!" For kicks, she pawed the ground with her back legs, too.

"Seven!" Man, ten seconds was a long time!

"Six!" Pinkie began to wave her tail from side to side as the number passed. "Five!" Left. "Four!" Right. "Three!" Left. "Two!" This was so boring... "One!" WHOA WHOA WHOA IT WAS ALMOST TIME TO START. Pinkie snapped like a rubber band out of her racing position and began bouncing up and down over and over with excitement.

Milliseconds after Featherweight shouted "GO" he was blown away by the force of both his own voice and the two fillies' take off. In seconds, a magenta streak of Pinkie was executing a rather bizarre strategy. Running on all the sugar she'd soaked up into her blood stream over the past ten years Pinkamena began to move closer and closer to, not just the door, but the wall adjacent, where a ramp had been built for ponies with bad legs who needed wheels to get around. Up this, Pinkie Pie scaled, so that she was not only defying physics with her speed, but gravity as well.

Pinkie Pie was now racing... sideways?

This little filly may not have been too great at numbers, but it certainly felt like this had just gotten some level of percentage way cooler in here! Whoo-hoo!

[Rainbow Dash]

"Go!" was the call of Featherweight as Rainbow Dash was about to take off when all of a sudden, Pinkie Pie had taken off first, and indeed, Rainbow Dash was seeing something...weird about her friend. Racing....sideways.

Rainbow Dash just stood there, mouth agape, trying to make sense of how Pinkie Pie was even racing at the moment before she realized moments later that she was suppose to be in a race and in turn, the rainbow pegasus took off after her friend.

As she raced alone the designated race area, she had managed to catch up to Pinkie Pie and was now racing side by side against her. Though Dash was just looking at her in utter confusion, she had to just shake her head from that, realizing one other thing "I don't care how it is you're even doing that, which I don't think is even suppose to be possible, but if you're trying to psyche me out Pinkie by doing your usual Pinkie....er....stuff, then you are-"

WHAM!

Rainbow Dash had flowen right into the nearest tree, having not even kept her eyes ahead and instead, having been watching Pinkie Pie all the while. She remained smushed up against the tree for just a few mere seconds before she slid down and onto the ground. And that's when she just sat there, head spinning, dazed....after all, she had hit that tree pretty hard.

"-wrong...." she finally managed to finsh off before just falling flat down onto her stomach, still as dazed as ever.

[Pinkie Pie]

Suddenly, Pinkie's aerodynamically horizontal tail twitched, and her steps skidded from the wall to the floor, though she lost no speed. However, her Pinkie sense had been activated, and the little filly was suddenly on alert. She could leave no accident un-un-accidented! What in Ponyville had set of the Pinkie sense? She kept her eyes peeled.

A loud WHAM! from behind her inspired Pinkie to flip most of the way around--there it was, the sound; she knew it! The Pinkie sense was never wrong, never ever, and today was no exception, nor would any day be, except perhaps when she was sick; no, then the sense still worked--it was just harder to address--FOCUS. That sound thump sounded like someone was hurt!

Pinkie appearified next to the sound and found, to Pinkie's horror, a stunned and dazed Rainbow Dash stretched out on her tummy. "Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie cried, about to zip in front of her friend, except, well, she was already there. She put her muzzle to Rainbow's, studying her friend's eyes, and Pinkie picked up Rainbow Dash's face in her hands. "Rainbow Dash, are you okay? Here, have this!" A thermometer was in Dash's mouth. "And this!" An icepack, over the goosebump. "This, too!" A hot water bottle. "Drink this!" Pinkie poured a dark brown liquid down Rainbow's throat. "And I don't know what this is, but Rarity said it would look cute, so have this, too!" A sweatband with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark was soon snapped over her forehead. "Do you want some chocolate pudding? I always like that when I'm sick, because when your throat gets sore, you want to eat things that are really soft, but that still taste good, right! And who wants soup all the time? Not this Pinkie!" Pinkie was so busy trying to make sure Rainbow Dash had everything she needed to get well soon--what was she sick with again? Malaria? That must've been it--that Pinkie wasn't even looking at Rainbow Dash anymore, or wearing her sweatband. A doctor's hat was on her head, the handwraps were gone, and Pinkie Pie rifled through a giant white briefcase with a pink cross on it, searching for, "Where are my Hello Kitty band-aids?"

[Rainbow Dash]

"Somepony....put a tree....in the middle of the....racetrack...." Rainbow Dash managed to say before she shook her head to concentrate again. Sure, her head was just pounding away, but she was sure she was just fine right now....even with what Pinkie Pie was doing to her.

She looked to her friend for a moment, still with a look of confusiion upon her face before she pulled the thermometer out of her mouth and handed it to Pinkie, followed by the icepack and well, pretty much everything else "I'm fine Pinkie...I just....flew into a tree...." she told her friend a bit sheepishly, blushing as she did so.

But enough about that, the race was still on as far as Rainbow Dash was concerned as she pushed herself up and her wings extended, showing Pinkie that she was still ready to keep on racing, and still determined to win this race "So Pinkie.....ready to keep on racing?" she asked her friend, despite her head still feeling a bit sore "After all, you just got lucky was all, you and your....whatever that was you were doing" she had to add in "But this time, I'm ready to win" and without another second to spare, Rainbow Dash was already off, ahead of Pinkie Pie, believing that she got a head start in this race this time.

[Pinkie Pie]

(OoC: Tl;dr is that Pinkie teleported in front of Rainbow Dash to hand her the band aids. Then, Pinkie fell out of the air, started running, and slid under a table. She emerged conducting a toy train just big enough for her to ride in. The tracks lead through the door she and Rainbow are racing to.

Pinkie Pie isn't going fast enough to catch up with Rainbow, so she asks her team for help. The unicorns push the train magically, and they also teleport the earth ponies behind the train to give Pinkie a push. She's now slightly ahead of Rainbow Dash.

LOL even my tl;dr is kind of tlr;dr-worthy xDDDDD Oh well, I love playing Pinkie!)

While Dr. Pie was rummaging through her first aid kit for those band aids, she heard Rainbow say, a little groggily at first, "So Pinkie.....ready to keep on racing? After all, you just got lucky was all, you and your....whatever that was you were doing. But this time, I'm ready to win"
"Huh?" the doctor intelligently replied, face still deep in the bottomless bag's recesses, when Pie suddenly found what she was looking for, and emerged with a triumphant, "Here's my band aids! ... Rainbow Dash?" Her friend was gone! Dr. Pie swiveled around and witnessed Dash dashing away, up and up and up and away--and Pinkie hopped out of her lab coat to catch up.

Immediately, the perky filly teleported right in front of her friend to ask, "You're sure your head's okay? I have a band aid right here just in case--AH!" Unfortunately, as Rainbow Dash was flying, teleporting right in front of her put wingless Pinkie in the air, so after a moment, Pinkie began to fall, but not before adding, "Okay, if you're sure!" Thinking of the kitties on the band aid now fluttering through the air, Pinkie Pie suddenly remembered she might get hurt if she fell hard, and she had to whip around so as to land on her feet--just like a kitty! Haha, who knew getting distracted would actually help her get focused? Ooh, focus, she was supposed to be focused--on having as much fun racing Rainbow Dash as possible! Pinkie picked up speed, rushing with all her might.

But that wasn't all that much fun!! Rainbow Dash was speeding ahead like an electric train, Pinkie could see--ooh, then trains gave Pinkie Pie an idea! She quickly slid under one of the party tables, and remained there hidden for a moment.

When Pinkie Pie emerged, she shouted, "CHOO CHOO!" and giggled before blowing on the train whistle. Wearing a little conductor's cap, Pinkie was now directing a toy train some of the foals had been playing with earlier. The tracks, coincidentally, led right out the open doors. Engineer Pie shoveled some fake coal into the engine so that it would go FULL THROTTLE, but just in case, she galloped to the caboose to call back to her team. "Team, I need a push?" She winked, and the horn of her small friend, Little Corn was his name, began to glow white. Conductor Pie checked her pocket watch, and shouted, "ALLLLL ABOARD!"

There wasn't any time for anyone to get aboard besides Miss Pie, as the train took off like a rocket down the tracks. With all three of the unicorns on the ponycorn team working together, it raced at equally Rainbow Dash's speed. But Rainbow Dash had a head start now. Pinkie Pie was barely competition--not that she'd been to begin with, but, by Celestia, "CHOOOO CHOOOO!" did Pinkie Pie love trains!!

But if she didn't catch up to Rainbow, Pinkie knew her friend would be bored with the race. She needed more firepower so as to be competitive!

Well, the answer was obvious. The four ponies--two stallions, a mare, and a filly--standing next to the unicorns shifted uncomfortably, and Conductor Pie ran back to the end of the caboose. "Team, I need ALL of you to give me a push! Come on, earth ponies, let's show everybody what we can do when we buck together!" Little Corn's horn stopped glowing, and he excitedly volunteered, "If you all get into position, I'll teleport you there at just the right time!" The fatherly, blue unicorn standing next to Little Corn added, "We can keep this train moving in the mean time! Right, babe?" The white mare next to him winked, and the pink glare from her horn burned ever brighter. The earth ponies looked at each other, then grinned when they realized what Pinkie was asking for them to do. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" the magenta mare asked the giant stallion, who replied simply, "Yup." Little Corn began to count down, "On "buck," everypony! Three... Two..." His horn glowed once more, and the four earth ponies formed a line, flank to flank. The filly seemed to want to be on the end, as she pushed the dark-maned stallion next to her and whined, "Move, Daddy!"

"One... BUCK," yelled Little Corn, and as all four earth ponies reared up on the front legs, they disappeared. Suddenly, in a flash of light, they were on the tracks directly behind Pinkie Pie's train, and their hooves all hammered into the caboose at the same time. Little Corn once again applied his magic to the train, magnifying the earth ponies' push, causing the train to lurch forward at an alarming speed, causing Pinkie Pie's teeth to chatter in the wind, "Thiiiisss isssss sooooo muuchhhhh fuuuuunnn!!" Within seconds, the Ponycorns had pushed her slightly beyond Rainbow Dash, while Featherweight and the other Pegasii looked on in horror.

[Rainbow Dash]

Rainbow Dash was certain that she was going to win again, after all, she had caught Pinkie Pie by suprise....well that is, until her friend just "appeared" in front of her. Though Rainbow Dash just shok it off with a quick little yell and just dashed past Pinkie, trying her best to just concentrate on the race at hand. She wasn't about to let Pinkie Pie and her randomness get to her, not this time.

But that was when the pegasus slowed down slightly at the sound of a....train whistle? Her gaze turned and in what seemed to be a blink of an eye, Pinkie was racing towards her....in a train..

Rainbow Dash turned and started to race off once again, but before long, Pinkie overtook her, causing the pegasus to just slow down for a moment. Though she did again, start to try and catch up, but Pinkie Pie was just too fast for her....somehow.

The blue pegasus had just slowed down to a snail pace "That's not....fair...." she mumbled to herself as she stopped flying, landing on the ground as she did so. Pinkie Pie had taken off ahead in the face, too fast for Rainbow Dash to even catch up now and by the looks of things, she had lost to her pink friend as well.

She just stood there on the ground, looking ahead as she did so "I was....winning and then she....and I....and....and...." by that point, she just sat down "The Wonderbolts....if Pinkie can beat me in a race....then they....they wouldn't even consider me to be part of their team anymore....I'll be the laughing stock of all of Equestria...."

[Pinkie Pie]

"GUYS, WAIT, STOP!" Pinkie called behind her to the unicorns pushing her past Rainbow Dash through the doorway. Little Corn and the couple next to him were too far to hear her voice, however. The train zoomed out the door, and the Ponycorns burst into cheers.

Rainbow Dash, however, was on the floor when Pinkie Pie bounced back inside, giggling, "Well, that was fun! Thanks, guys!" she called back to the Ponycorns, who waved back, and dispersed to other activities. The lavendar filly, Diamond Tiara, headed straight for the karaoke machine, and she began to sing an old song of Pinkie's--the little girl was surprisingly powerful, and of course took her place at the front of the line--"When I was just a little filly, and the sun was going dooooooooown."

After her other friends had gone, Pinkie Pie clipped up to Rainbow Dash, a rare frown on her face. Then, she got an idea, and made a round trip to the miniature train's dining car. "Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash!" she said excitedly upon her return, "Look what I found on that train!" Pinkie Pie popped open the top of a soda can and gulped down half of it instantly. She began to vibrate as though about to explode. Then, she burped, and exploded into giggles, hoping her glum chum would smile. "Here, you try!" Pinkie rolled a second can to her friend.

[Rainbow Dash]

Rainbow Dash just sighed a little as she sat there still, but as soon as she hear Pinkie Pie's voice, she glanced at her pink friend for just a moment, then looked away once again. But yet once more, she looked at Pinkie Pie, as if she was holding some sort of grudge against her, even if there was no point in her actually doing so.

Granted, she was still annoyed at Pinkie Pie for beating her in the race, but that's when she offered her some soda. Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie at what she was doing and let off just a light little laugh "Yeah, well, I'm still not happy that you managed to somehow beat me in a race. Me, the fastest flier to come out of Cloudsdale!"

But regardless of that, Rainbow Dash just grabbed onto the half drunken soda drink and decided to just down it herself, finishing it off. Though she did sit there for just a few moments, she already was feeling the effects of the rather stong drink taking hold of herself and again, Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"That drink is like, the best drink I have ever tasted, I mean, I've tasted other drinks before, but nothing as awesome as that, cause you know, I had drunken other things before, tasted lots of different stuff, but nothing as awesome as that, even if I did want to say, kiss you on the lips Pinkie Pie, because I really, really, realy like you" Rainbow Dash spoke, but rather fast for that matter, unsure if Pinkie Pie had even said understood a single word of what she had even said.

But that was just it, her left eyes just twitched lightly as she sat there again, starting to realize what she had actually blurted out to her friend and put her hooves to her mouth. That was suppose to be a secret, something she wasn't even suppose to tell Pinkie Pie, just something she was suppose to keep to herself and instead, had blurted it out with now, just realizing what she had done.

Yup, all Pinkie Pie's fault for giving her that drink....and being so darn awesome....and cute....

[Pinkie Pie]

"That drink is like, the best drink I have ever tasted," Rainbow Dash began to gush, and Pinkie Pie saw her smile, which made Pinkie Pie smile. "I mean, I've tasted other drinks before," Rainbow Dash was starting to speak rather fast, but Pinkie Pie just kept nodding and nodding and nodding, because it's always rude to interrupt someone who's talking and isn't Pinkie Pie--Pinkie Pie ever so loved talking--"but nothing as awesome as that, cause you know, I had drunken other things before, tasted lots of different stuff, but nothing as awesome as that, even if I did want to say, kiss you on the lips Pinkie Pie, because I really, really, realy like you."

Pinkie's eyes widened, and she cocked her head to give Rainbow Dash a strange look. Pinkie just stared at Rainbow for a moment. Rainbow suddenly developed a tick in her left eye and put her hooves to her mouth. Pinkie scrutinized her blue friend's suspicious behavior closely, and recognized all the signs. Rainbow Dash felt exactly the same as Pinkie Pie did in that moment. The magenta pony extended a confrontational hoof.

"You have to burp, too, don't y--" Pinkie Pie interrupted herself with a sudden release, which caused her to burst into laughter which made her roll on the floor. In truth, she still hadn't completely processed what Rainbow Dash had said yet. Sugar was jostling her thought patterns, but considering how Rainbow Dash had been talking about how delicious the soda pop was, too, Pinkie Pie could only imagine Rainbow's jimmies were equally rustled, rustled enough to say things without thinking like that one thing about kissing Pinkie.

Wait.

"Did you say you wanted to kiss me?" Pinkie Pie suddenly popped up from the floor and stared at Rainbow Dash again with the most confused expression on her face. She remained standing awkwardly like that for a moment or two.

"Why didn't you say something earlier, dummy?" laughed Pinkie, and she leaned forward to quickly give her friend a peck. Why on earth not? Kissing was exciting and made everypony happy!! In less than a millisecond, however, Pinkie Pie was bouncing in the other direction, yelling behind her, "You're it, Rainbow! I bet you can't catch me this time!"

[Rainbow Dash]

"But I didn't say that I wanted to kiss you!" Rainbow Dash just yelled back, doing her best to cover it up, though rather poorly as it was. Sure, it didn't help matters that Pinkie Pie didn't seem to even be bothered by it....nor the fact that her pink friend gave her a quick kiss.

Rainbow Dash just froze up, sitting where she was as she started to blush, ratther hard for that matter. And all because of a very quick kiss and in turn, watched as Pinkie Pie bounded off "She....kissed me..." she squeed a bit to herself before realizing that Pinkie Pie had taken off.

"W-w-wait!" Rainbow Dash then called out after Pinkie as she took off after her friend, ready to already tackle her on the ground as she got closer and closer with each passing second before she picked up speed and in turn, tackled her, right onto the ground....and pinning her down in the process.

"You....you kissed me...." Dash had to at least tell Pinkie Pie "That...that was...it was....I uh...." already, she couldn't quite explain how she was feeling as she started to just blush away again before she turned her head to the side slightly.

[Pinkie Pie]

Pinkie Pie would have been rolling on the floor laughing as Rainbow Dash stuttered, and she sort of was--but since Rainbow Dash was pinning her to the ground, Pinkie Pie couldn't do much rolling. But she was still on the ground, laughing, so effectively that was the same, right? Instead of this being an rofl situation, it was more of an... ofl situation, but an ofl situation is as awful as it sounds.

Badoompchh.

"It's called kissing tag, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie winked from below, squirming, "It's not as fun as regular tag if you want to play with lots of ponies--but it's really fun with just two! You know how I know? I only made it up right now for just us! To tag somebody, you have to give them a peck!" Finally, Pinkie Pie gave up the idea that Rainbow Dash would let her go--and she slipped from beneath her friend's hooves. Then, Pinkie turned around and made a ready stance like a dog that's trying to keep its ball away from its owner. "Missed me, missed me--" she teased, "Now you literallyhaveto kiss me!" With that, Pinkie Pie ran behind the karaoke machine, where "Love's in Bloom" had already started to play again.
