Uh, hey girls? [Not good, she's already blushing a little and looking just a little freaked.]

Minato asked me to the Gala. As a real date. And I would really, really appreciate some distraction or anything that'll keep me from freaking out right about now!!

[By the time Rainbow recovers from her fainting goat position and gets her heart rate under control, sure! Totally distracting!]

[Midway between amusement and rage, the pegasus rears back, then takes off after Pinkie Pie at a speed only Pinkie Pie at her most comedic could match -- ]

[Wait. That's no good. Rainbow screeches to a halt in midair, frowning as she ponders her conundrum.]

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

[Well geez Dashie, it's no fun if you don't keep chasing her! Pinkie rushes back in the opposite direction again.]

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

Oh nooooo! [Rainbow flings a hoof to her forehead, adopting the most melodramatic expression and tone of voice imaginable.] I am it! And I can not catch Pinkie Pie, for too wily and cunning is she!

[Beneath that hoof of woe, she keeps a careful eye out for returning Pinkie Pies.]

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

Ooooh! [A Pinkie Pie appears! Leaning down from a nearby roof.] Have you tried ACME products? I've got a catalog at home!

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

Hmm, that sounds promising, but --

[Rainbow catapults herself off the ground with a powerful flap of her wings, hurtling towards Pinkie Pie with her hooves out.] I prefer CUNNING!

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

[Pinkie shrieked as she was caught, tumbling backwards and rolling with the tackle in a series of comedic somersaults.]

Now I'm it! Run.

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

[Either foolishly or sportingly, Rainbow shoves off her friend and rolls over the edge of the roof onto the ground below. As soon as her hooves hit, she takes off at a gallop, thundering down the road towards the Town Square.]

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

[Pinkie takes off after her, running straight and not taking any bizarre impossible detours.]

I'M GONNA GET YOU!!!

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

Ha ha! Not today, Pinkie Pie!

[In a flurry of hooves, Rainbow burst into the Town Square, heading straight towards the fountain. Without using wingpower, she leaped to the fountain's edge, then sprang up to land on top of the decorative pony statue. From there, she hopped down to the rim on the other side, then to the ground.]

Ha! Beat THAT!

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

Can do!

[Pinkie leaps to the fountain's edge...and beyond it, right into the fountain. And then she submerges and starts doing what appears to be a solo water-dancing routine.]

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow had been prepared to take off at top speed again! Which made this... really confusing, and left her scratching her mane.]

Uh, Pinkie? I kind of meant, 'get through or past the fountain in a quicker or cooler way', not... not whatever it is you're doing.

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! [Pinkie pops her head up and spits a neat stream of water out.] I thought we were doing routines!

[And then, without an ounce of warnings, she catches her hooves at the edge of the fountain and flings herself headlong at Dash. OPERATION TAG-CKLE IS GO!]

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

Whoa! [Rainbow spins around, hooves scrabbling for purchase on the ground. Too late! Pinkie crashes into her with all the grace and style of... Pinkie.]

Hey! No tricking the pony who tricked you first! No trick-backs!

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

But trick-backs are the best kind of tricks! They're so...tricky!

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

Oh yeah? Well -- well what if I tricked YOU back? [Rainbow rolls out from under Pinkie and to her hooves, giving herself a vigorous shake to straighten the coat out where it had bunched up around her flanks from the crash.]

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

THEN you'd be tricking-back-backing the trick-back! TOTALLY tricky!

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

Yeah, I would... something like THIS!

[Now Rainbow leaps to tackle Pinkie! Ha ha!]</small.

Re: [action]

[sailorlaughter]

CURSE YOUR SUDDEN YET INEVITABLE TRICKERYYYYYY!!!

[And then Pinkie flings herself backwards as she falls, largely in an attempt to land them both in the fountain.]

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

[Ker-splash.]

Aaaah wet coat wet coat wet coat!

[Rainbow lumbers her way over the edge of the fountain to fall in a heap on the other side with a soggy splat. She quickly twists her bracelet to make the sodden coat disappear, then gasps in relief as its weight lifts off her.]

Re: [action]

[sailorlaughter]

[Pinkie leans over the side of the fountain to watch this with interest.]

Can you make other stuff come and go with that?

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

What? No, the bracelet is what makes the coat come and go. For humans it's normally a ring. Totally surprised the Finders to see I had a bracelet. They weren't really up on non-human creatures.

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

Well, DUH. They couldn't make you just pierce your ears.

...you'd kinda look cool with earrings, though!

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow's ears unconsciously twitch.]

No way. Wouldn't be aerodynamic!

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

It'd probably be okay if they were studs! But yeah, I don't think I'd want mine done either. It'd be waaaaaaaaay too easy to snag them on my mane!

[action]

[elementofloyalty]

That kinda stuff is too girly for me anyway. Leave it to the fancy mares in Canterlot! I'm an athlete, my job is to move good, not look good!
