When Sonata Dusk walks into Sugarcube Corner during Pinkie Pie's shift on a Friday afternoon, it seems like a normal, routine event like with any other customer.

When Sonata comes back the next week - and the next - and Pinkie eventually asks her out - it's more fun than the colour pink or warm caramel-fudge swirl.

Neither has any idea what they've gotten themselves into.

This is a minorly-altered canon (but probably not entirely alternate universe) fic in which Pinkie and Sonata meet two weeks after the Fall Formal and five months before the Battle of the Bands. Some artistic liberties with the Rainbow Rocks movie have been taken, but with caution to keep close to the original plot, and so this story is rife with movie SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

A special shout out to my dear girlfriend Cynthia for not only providing some BEAUTIFUL cover art for this fic, but also for reading along and providing moral support as I wrote, and to Monochromatic for helping me through the process of publishing to FiMFic for the first time!

Every Friday, from five in the afternoon to eleven at night, Pinkie Pie does volunteer work. She doesn't have to do it, the world won't stop if she doesn't, but she chooses to do it anyway. Even if it's doing seemingly insignificant little things.

It is a matter of life and death, after all. Literally.

In the darkness of a malfunctioning elevator, there's little else to do but lay your heart bare.

While following the recently reunited PostCrush on their new tour, a severe storm leaves Sunset and Pinkie Pie in a motel room with nothing to do. Pinkie Pie discovers a chess set and asks Sunset to teach her how to play while they wait for the power to come back on.

Sunset Shimmer comes into the Sweet Snacks Cafe to visit Pinkie Pie and enjoy a delicious dessert. Unfortunately, a delusional and angry man then enters the restaurant searching for unicorns.

A quick, silly read in the vein of the Equestria Girls shorts.

Sunset is beat after a long day at school. After a day of stress, Sunset just wants to have a bit of fun after school. Luckily for her, her friend Pinkie Pie is a master of fun. And what's more fun than visiting a carnival? With rides and fried foods and fun in store for the evening, Pinkie Pie plans to help Sunset have a night she'll never forget.

Of course, if Pinkie's being super-duper honest with herself, the carnival might provide the opportunity she needs to get something off her chest. A secret that makes her feel like she'll explode if she doesn't say it soon. But how do you tell your friend something this big when you know it might change everything?

Marble decides to briefly come out of her shell and tries something different with Pinkie's hair.

Art not mine.

It's Saturday night, which for Rainbow Dash means only one thing: sleepover at Pinkie's place! Rainbow is ready to party all night, chugging down sodas, hanging out with her best friend, and playing loads of violent video games.

The only problem: Pinkie's parents are out of town, which means that Maud has been left in charge. And as far as Rainbow is concerned, Maud is totally determined to ruin, like, all of their fun.

Following an argument about bedtimes, Maud challenges Rainbow Dash to a round of her favorite game, Rock-Paper-Scissors. If Rainbow wins, she gets to stay up as late as she wants. If Maud wins, Rainbow has to obey every word she says. It's a battle for the ages, and only one thing is certain: there will be rocks.

One day, Pinkie Pie visits Rainbow Dash on the school's field to tell her that Rainbow Dash is now the new member of the All Star Baseball Team! Rainbow Dash is very excited with the news but she doesn't know any of the players she is going to play with. So Rainbow Dash ask Pinkie Pie for the names of the players and...hijinks ensues.

This story is based on Abbot and Costello's most famous skit: Who's on First!
