Raripie Story

>You're Pinkie Pie!
>...Or was it Ponka Poe?
>Pinka Pee?
>You'll figure it out later
>Anyway, you're on your way!
>On your way to where, you ask?
>First of all, who ARE you?
>You're Pinkie Pie!
>...Wait, what's going on now?
>Oh, right!
>You're on your way to Rarity's!
>Probably one of your bestest best friends!
>Right next to Rainbow Dash
>...And Twilight
>And Fluttershy
>And Pinkie Pie-Oops!
>That's you, silly
>But, she's one of your best friends
>And you decided to visit her today!
>Mostly because she asked you to yesterday, but still!
>Anyway, you're galloping on to Rarity's
>Like the good pony you are!
>And, big surprise, you GET to Rarity's!
>Knocking on the door, you wait for the white pony to answer
>"It's open, darling."
>Oh, yeah
>She lives in her shop, so of course it's always open!
>As you enter the door, you notice... a lot of dresses
>And you mean, a LOT
>A lot more than usual
>And it's only the shop floor!
>"Oh!" Says the Rarity pony, turning around to face you, "Pinkie Pie! I almost forgot you were coming over."
"Probably because I was late."
>She just gives you this meanie look
>"...Right."
>She swiftly turns around, and starts to work on another one of her dresses
"So, why'd you ask me to come over, anyway?"
>"Well, believe it or not, I'd like you to... critique me."
>Huh?
>Critique her?
"But Rarity, I'm a pastry critiquer, not a dress one!"
>"Precisely!"
>...Huh?
>You decide trot over to the nearest bench, and take a seat on it, wondering what she's talking about
>"You see," She starts, putting the finishing touches on one of her dresses, "Canterlot is hosting it's fourth annual modiste contest," she turns to you to explain, "that's 'dressmaking', Pinkie Pie."
"Oooh!"
>"Hsted by the three-er... FOUR Princesses of Equestria; Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight."
"Ooooh! How come I've never heard about this?"
>"You have."
"...When?"
>Rarity sighs, and puts up her finished dress on one of the manequins
>"Last, week. Me and Twilight asked you to bake pastries for the eve-"
"That never happened." You said in a matter of fact tone
>Rarity walked over to you, and you think her left eye twitched
>Your left, not her's
>"Yes, it did. We caught you in the street with Mr. Cake and the Pound Twins. We asked you to do it and you said you couldn't because you were babysitting the twins on that day."
"That was Mrs. Cake."
>"No it wa-"
>Silence falls over Rarity, as her face turns blank
>She stayed silent for a few minutes, before you booped her nose to wake her up
"Rarity? You okay?"
>"No wonder why you were blue..." She mumbles, before regaining her compurse
>"A-Anyway, She said she couldn't do it. So we asked Applejack. /She/ couldn't do it because she /apparently/ was a model for the thing."
>Rarity seemed to roll her eyes at that fact
>"How she ever got that job, I'll never know..." She mumbled... again. "Anyway, so Twilight asked myself to bake the pastries. Knowing that I am just a FANTASTIC pastry chef, I obliged."
"And, now you want me to taste the pastries...?"
>She nods, and you jump in explosive happiness!
"Why didn't ya ask me sooner?!"
>Oh, right
"It's because you thought Mrs. Cake was me-"
>"That never happened."
"...But, you said it d-"
>She shushes you, putting a hoof to your lips
>"Come with me."
>Removing her hoof, she starts towards the kitchen
>You follow, bouncing behind her
>...Wait
>You never knew Rarity had a kitchen!
>The first thing you saw when you entered was...
>Was...
>The most FANTASTIC ULTRA FABULOUS SUPER-DUPER AMAZINGLY-AMAZING PASTRY FULL OF TABLES!
>...Table full of pastries
>That's what you meant
>"Now, Pinkie, I want you to take-"
"ALL OF THESE!?"
>"...No, if you would let me finish. I want you to take a single, tiny, TINY piece of each and every single one of these pastries. If they're good, then tell me. If they're not, then you can eat them all."
"Really?!"
>She just nods, once again
>You zoom to the first one, and take the tiniest piece of it that you could, while still being able to taste the taste, and munch it down
>...Hm
>"...Well?"
"It... was..."
>You show no expression
>"...W-Was what?"
"The..."
>Rarity takes a hard gulp, biting her lower lip
"...BEST I EVER HAD!"
>You jump in the air, fireworks exploding behind you
>And, you ALMOST smashed the table, but stopped just before you hit it!
>You then softly floated to the floor, a big ol' smile upon your face
>Rarity sighs, and smiles
>"Well, I sure hope the rest of them are that great!"
"So do I!"
>So, you start to take the tiniest bites out of each and every one... telling Rarity that they're great!
>...Until
>You notice that Rarity isn't there anymore
>...Wonder where she went?
>Eh, she probably had to go to the bathroom
>You take a quick glance at...
>Oh...
>All of these pastries
>You pick one up in your hooves, and lick your lips...
>No!
>Pinkie Pie, you're better than that!
>Just imagine how sad your friend would be...
>But....
>Mhmm...
>It looks so good...
>...Maybe just a bite
>You swallow the cake whole, and smile
'Omigosh...!' You think, rubbing your tummy, 'That was so great!'
>You quickly rush around the table, inspecting the rest of the pastries, such as cakes, cookies, chocolate... cupcakes... pies...
>Your stomach rumbles...
>They look so good...
>...YOU CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

>Ohh... boy
>That was great...
'Rarity, what did you put in those...?'
>"...PINKIE?!"
>Sudden guilt overflows you, as you lay your hooves on your belly
>You slowly turn your head to the white unicorn, your back on the table
>Most of the plates are completely broken under your weight
"...They weren't good, heheh..."
>Guilt quickly turns into fear, as Rarity's face turns from sorrow to anger
>"I... I... I... I SPENT /DAYS/ WORKING ON THOSE PASTRIES! TRYING TO GATHER JUST THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS FOR THOSE PIES! FOR THOSE CAKES! FOR... FOR EVERYTHING!"
>She starts to slowly stomp her hooves towards you, your ears faltering down
"I GOT THE BEST SUGAR FROM THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE! I-I-I GOT THE ABSOLUTE /BEST/ FLOUR FROM CANTERLOT! I WENT INTO MANEHATTEN AND GOT THE BEST MILK! I RESEARCHED FOR DAYS ON END TO FIGURE OUT WHO HISTORICALLY HAD THE BEST INGREDIENTS IN TWILIGHT'S CASTLE, AND THIS.... /THIS/ IS HOW I'M REPAYED?! ALL OF MY HARD WORK!?"
>She gets right in your face, your nose touch hers
>"A-AND YOU... /YOU/ HAD TO GO AND EAT ALL OF THEM! EVERY, SINGLE, LAST, ONE OF THEM!"
>...Y-You slowly take a cupcake out of nowhere, and offer it to her...
"C-C-Cupcake...?"
>SLAP!
>SQUASH!
>...She slapped your cupcake right of of your hoof...
>"/FUCK/, YOUR CUPCAKE, PINKIE PIE! UNLESS YOU CAN RECREATE EVERYTHING I MADE ON THIS TABLE, /PERFECTLY/, THEN YOU, AND YOUR CUPCAKES CAN STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!"
>!!
>Gulping, you quickly dash out of Rarity's shop, tears streaming down your face
>"AND STAY OUT!!"
>As the door slams behind you, you jump from the sudden noise
>Shaking off all of your weight... you sigh, and make a slow trot towards Sugar Cube Corner...
>...You have to make this up to Rarity...
>But... how?
>...Wait
>She said she went to Twilight's Library, right?
>You just have to ask Twilight what books she took out!
>Yeah!
>With a new smile forming on your face, you jump up and rush towards Twilight's castle, going as fast as you can!

>You furiously follow the pink mare, as she runs out of your boutique
>Throwing your head out of your door way, you furrow your eyebrows and yell at the top of your lungs
"AND STAY OUT!!"
>You return back inside, and SLAM your door, walking back to the kitchen
>Sighing, you look at the MESS that your kitchen is in--Well
>...Surprisingly, it's only your table
>Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out by now, you're Rarity
>The most fashionable pony in all of Ponyville
>Anyway, you pick up all of the non-broken china with magic, and stack them neatly in the cubboards
>You start taking out the extra supplies that you knew that you needed
>Somehow, you knew that something like this was a possibility
>Plus, a smart lady like yourself always packs in bulk
>As you start putting the extra supplies on the table, throwing away the broken glass, your ears flop down, as you sigh once again
>You're not sure you can make half of what you did with...
>THIS
>You can remember just how much you bought...
>Heh, you had to put it all in your bedroom
>It covered the floor, to completion
>...Actually, that might just be an exaggeration
>But, still, you DID buy a lot of the ingredients
>And yet...
>You could probably make two cakes with this stuff
>Maybe a small third
>Maybe you could make a batch of cupcakes with this..
>Or, if you space it out, it could make about half of the little goodies you made
>Sighing, once again, you start to get out the supplies you need to bake the pastries
>Grabbing a chair, you start to stretch out your magic
>Because you're going to be using her for... awhile
>She's going to be exhausted after this...
>You start to unbox and unravel a lot of it, as you sit down in your chair
>Resting your face on your hoof, you start to day dream...
>Yaaawn...

>"C'mon, Rarity! I wanna ride this one!"
"...Isn't that just a bit... dangerous?"
>"Oh c'mon! You're just bein' a scaredy pants!"
"I don't wear pants-WOAH!"
>...
"...P-Pinkie Pie... A-Are you sure this is... S-Safe...?"
>"Oh, sure it is, you silly filly! All it's gonna do is rise aaaaaaaall the way up! And then drop aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll the way DOWN!"
"Gulp..."
>Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
"...I'mnotsureIwanttoridethisrideanymoreP-"
>"Shhhhh!! It's about to drop!"
>Tick... tick... tick... tick.
>...
"Gulp... C-Can we get off noOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
>"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
"AAAAHHHHH!!! OH CELESTIA SOMEPONY PLEASE GET ME OF THIS HELL OF A RIDE!!"
>"WHEEEE!! THIS IS FUN, ISN'T IT?!"
"IT'S AWFUL! IT'S HORRIBLE I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
>"I LOVE THIS PART, RARITY!!"
"DEAR CELESTIA PLEASE HELP MEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
>"WHEEEEEE!!!"
>...
>CREEK!
>"WHOO! That was amazing! How'd you like that, Rarity?"
"..."
>"...Rarity?"
"That... was..."
>"...?"
"SUCH A THRILL!! Oh, Pinkie, darling, can we go on it again? It went like WOOSH and WOW and..."
>"Heehee! Seems like we found your inner filly, huh?"
"!!! Oh... Uh.. I mean.. It was okay. I mean, if you like that sort of stuff."
>"Heehee!"
"Heheh..!"

>DING!
>Oh!
>You must of fell asleep...
>She went on autopilot again, didn't she?
>You rub your horn, and smile
>Always reliable, isn't she?
>Unlike SOME pony you know...
>Stupid pink pony...
>You sniff, and your smile grows wider
>Oh, what is that DELECTABLE smell?
>You turn to your right, and--Oh
>A bouquet full of pastries is on your right, and they all smell fabulous
>She really went overtime, didn't she?
>You get up out of your chair, and stretch
"Don't worry, sweetie, I'll handle this one."
>Grabbing a hoof mitt, you open up the oven and... Oh!
>It's a cake
>...Huh
>It's already decorated
>...That's odd
>Cakes don't work that way, right?
>No...
>You usually decorate them, AFTER they're baked
>Well, saves you time
>You take the decorated cake out of the oven, and close it back up
>...Huh
>There's something you hadn't noticed about these cakes
>They all have PINK decorations
>The cookies, they have little pink balloons
>The cupcakes, they all have pink frosting, and cute little balloons stuck into them
>You know, those plastic decorations they have on cupcakes
>They come in rings, sometimes they're... well, this
>It's a little white stick, with three little balloons in each cupcake
>...You didn't even know you HAD this decoration
>...It's quite odd, now that you think about it
>They... remind you of someone...
>That poor, poor somone...
>And the cake--...
>How come you didn't notice this before?
>...
>Pinkie
>Honestly, you didn't mean what you said to her...
>...Sort of
>Okay, so you majorly knew what you were doing...
>But, you shouldn't of left her there!
>Pinkie's uncontrolable around pastries
>She sees one, she eats one
>...You need to apologize
>You rush out of your kitchen, through your front door, the familiar chime notifying you of your abscence
>All you can do is gallop towards Sugar Cube Corner, hoping her hair hadn't gone straight, like last time...
>You look side to side, frantically, looking for--AHA!
>There it is!
>You BURST through the door, looking for the pink pony
"...Pinkie? Pinkie Pie? Are you in here...?"
>You slowly trot across the shop floor, hearing some... peculiar noises coming from the kitchen
>Taking... slow hoof steps... you walk towards the door... gulping
>Ever so slowly, you push the door open with your hoof--...
"...Oh my Celestia..."

>DONE!
>Ooooh, Rarity's gonna love this!
>That final cake...
>Quickly taking it out of the oven, you put it with the others, grabbing the decorations for it
>Suddenly... the door opens
>You can't help but slightly jump, turning your attention towards...
>Rarity?!
>"...Oh my Celestia..."
>She looks up at the massive pile of pastries, with awe
>"...Pinkie?"
>Dropping your equipment, you fly over to the unicorn and hug her
"Heya, Rarity!"
>You quickly break the hug, and smile at her, who's just flabbergasted at the scene
>"H-H-H-H... How... How did you-"
"I managed to get the ingredients from those places you mentioned, and even more! It was hard, though... I had to catch a train all over Equestria, and THEN I had to make all of THIS!"
>You wave your hoof to the wall of pastries behind you
"The only problem, is," You start, putting a hoof to your chin, "How are we gonna move all this stuff?"
>"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...."
"...Rarity?"
>Gah!
>....
>Rarity squishes you with a hug... and, with a smile, you return the favor
>"I-...I'm sorry for yelling at you, Pinkie. It was uncalled for!"
"Oh, don't feel bad, Rarity! If you never did THAT, then I wouldn't have did THIS!"
>Again, you break the hug and gesture towards all of the delectable, amazing fantastic pastries!
>"I... I just can't believe that you did all THIS, in such a short time!"
"Well, you know me!"
>You giggle, and smile at your friend
>She smiles as well, taking a sigh of relief
>"You saved my plot, Pinkie. Honestly, I hardly had anything to serve before now!"
"It's what friends are for, Rarity! Besides I had to make it up to you, somehow!"
>The white unicorn giggles, as do you, as the two of you share one final embrace

The En--

>"PINKIE!!"
>Huh?
>Letting go of your friend, you shift your attention to the door
>...Oh, it's Mrs. Cake!
>...
>Oh, no, it's Mrs. Cake!
>"WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF MY INGREDIENTS?!"
>...Rarity sloooooowly looks at you, her eye slightly twitching
>You look back at her, and smile nervously, a hoof scratching the back of your head
"W-Well... Maybe I didn't get AAALL of those fancy products you used..."
>Is she growling?
>Uh-huh
>And so is Mrs. Cake
"Heheh..."
>...You should probably start runn-WAIT!
>YOU GOT IT!
>You zoom to Mrs. Cake, and whisper something in her ear, then whoosh to Rarity, whispering the same to her!
>You run to the middle of them, and look for their smiles of conformation!
>They smile and nod, giving you the heads up to smile with everlasting glee!

>"Come one, come all, taste the Sugar Cube Corner's specialty!"
>"OOOR, you could taste the most FASHIONABLE treats around, ingredients from all across Equestria! Quite the Rarity!"
>You sit and smile on benches, near the two stands that are full of pastries of all kinds
>One's advertised with Mrs. Cake, with the ingredients you used from the shop
>And the other, advertised with Rarity, with the best ingredients from everywhere and anywhere!
>Weeeell, maybe not anywhere!
>For ponies that are old fashioned, or just want a quick bite, they'll go to Mrs. Cake, for sure!
>And for the Canterlot ponies, they practically float to Rarity's sophisticated treats!
>...Although, they're the same thing, to you
>Rarity's is just an iiiiiiitsy bitsy sweeter!
>But, as long as the customers are happy, you're happy!
>Hopping off the bench, you bounce to Mrs. Cake, and then to Rarity, ordering aaall the sweets you possibly could!
>What? Pinkie loves her pastries~!

The End
