Chapter #4Rainbow's Frustration by: Unknown "There you go, little ones..."
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked down at the mice happily munching on the assorted vegetables. Rainbow was barely paying any attention; Feeding the animals was incredibly boring, but it wouldn't be long before it ended and she could have some proper 'hanging out' time with her oldest friend. Idly glancing at the sight at her hooves, she noticed something odd. "Hey, how come that one's not eating anything?"
Fluttershy turned to the lone mouse fidgeting by the wall. "Oh, that's Miss Flufflekins. She, um... Knows that today is... her day." Dash raised an eyebrow. "Like, her birthday or something?" The meek yellow pegasus muttered something softly, lowering herself to the ground. Reluctantly, Lady Periwinkle von Flufflekins VI climbed up onto Fluttershy's back, the rodent's eyes seemingly transfixed on the ground.
"You see," Fluttershy hesitantly began as she trotted across the room, "I love all my animals very much. But I can't ignore the natural order of things. And, well..." Her voice trailed off as she reached a glass cage placed in the corner of the room. Popping open the top, she leaned against it and encouraged the mouse to climb inside. Rainbow crouched down by the cage for a better look inside. With a tiny little thud, Miss Flufflekins landed inside, and began to patiently await her fate.
Fluttershy's soft voice spoke out, "It's time for your breakfast, Anabelle." A few moments passed in silence before a shape leapt out of the foliage within the cage. "Woah!" Before Rainbow knew it, the little mouse was shoved halfway down a large green snake's gullet. "I know," Fluttershy said with a look of perfect calm, "Isn't nature fascinating sometimes?" Rainbow half-heartedly nodded, unable to take her eyes off the scaly bulge moving down the reptile. Smiling softly, Fluttershy turned back to Dash. "So, where are we going for breakfast?"

The noon sun beat down upon the line of ponies patiently waiting in line at Applejack's stand. Fast as she may be, Rainbow always
somehow ended up at the back of a freakishly long line. With an irritated flick of her tail, she found herself stuck listening to the mares in front of her chat. "Sheesh, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!", exclaimed the mint green unicorn in front of her. "...Where'd that saying come from, anyway?", she continued, "It's not like we're serious meat eaters. I mean, some ponies eat it extremely sparingly, but why a horse? Scientifically speaking, they're our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. So why a horse and not something less creepy, like an elephant or something?"
The cream-colored mare beside the unicorn answered with a shrug, "I think it might be a gryphon thing. They eat meat all the time, and I'm pretty sure horses live in the gryphon lands." The unicorn seemed satisfied with that answer for a moment before speaking again, "But it's a little creepy when we say it, isn't it? It's borderline cannibalism! I might as well have said, 'I'm so hungry, I'll just eat someone in this line!' Right?" Sensing an opportunity, the creamy earth pony whispered something into the unicorn's ear. The unicorn turned to her companion with a blush, "Th-that's not what I meant and you know it! Really, sometimes I think that's the only thing on your mind..."
Red as it may have been, the unicorn's blush was nothing next to Rainbow's.

That evening, Rainbow found herself at Sugarcube Corner, waiting for closing time so she and the girls could meet up with Pinkie. She sat at a table off to the side, sitting across from Rarity, who was in the middle of a story. "So I panicked and said that you were the Wonderbolts' trainer! After all, they didn't seem to know much about the ponies racing, and I'm sure that if they ever saw you fly, they'd believe it!" Rainbow let herself chuckle. "You crazy mare... It'll be the truth someday, though!"
Before anything more could be said, their attention was drawn to something happening at the front counter. "Oh dear, Pinkie," Mrs. Cake exclaimed, "This evening sun got to the chocolate sculpture, it's starting to melt." The sculpture in question was that of a lifesize pony dramatically rearing up on its hind legs. Yet under the intense sunlight, it seemed a lot less stable than before. Pinkie Pie gasped in horror at the blasphemous sight before her. "Oh no! I can't let all that delicious, gooey chocolate go to waste! I'LL SAVE YOU, TASTY PONY!"
In a flash, Pinkie's snakelike tongue stretched out of her mouth and slipped under the sculpture. Before anypony could realize what was happening, it dragged the defenseless chocolate into the mare's hungry maw. Pinkie eagerly 'mmm'ed as she licked up the half-melted chocolate in her mouth. The top half stuck out of Pinkie's mouth, the new context to its pose making it look like it was struggling to get out. Moments passed, and as much as Pinkie wanted to savor her dessert further, she couldn't resist the compulsion to gulp down the remainder of the once proud stallion. A large pink lump visibly travelled down her throat and vanished into her belly.
"Just look at her," Rarity commented, "I bet she'll wake up tomorrow and not have another ounce on her. Meanwhile my portion control has been a... Rainbow?" Looking over, Rarity found that her companion had vanished. Before she had a chance to be offended, an obscenely loud belch rattled her brain.

'This has gotten ridiculous!'
Rainbow groaned in frustration within her freezingly cold shower. 'I hoped it wouldn't be a problem! But noooo, today it just wouldn't leave me alone! I really need to do something about this fetish thing before I lose my mind...' indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
