Pinkie trotted towards Zecora's hut. She was holding a large basket of cupcakes that she had been asked to deliver. The delicious smell filled her nose, and she hoped she could grab a bite to eat soon. Soon, the hut came into view and as Pinkie bounced along she could see Poison Joke spread across the road. Pinkie avoided each flower with a spring in her step. Soon, the hut was only a few inchs away, and Pinkie knocked loudly on the door.
"Oh Zecora!" She said merrily, awaiting a response.

Zecora looked over the contents of the satchel that she had now poured out onto the floor of the hut. The recent change in the route she had taken for gathering had proven to be a huge success and now the zebra had begun to examine and sort out the various plants she had collected. Before getting too far, however, she heard a knock at her door, along with the cheery call of a familiar voice. As expected, opening the door revealed a particular pink, party pony to her. Zecora returned her own bright smile before greeting her.
"Why hello, Pinkie Pie, you are always a pleasure to see. What brings you all the way out to this part of the Everfree?"

Pinkie set down the muffins as she inspected her hooves.
"I brought you some cupcakes!" She announced, because she sometimes mixed the two up. She wiped her hooves outside, since her hooves had became rather muddy, because her mother had always told her that it was rude to dirty another pony's -or zebra's, in this case- home. The room was as curious looking as ever to her eyes, since most Ponyville homes did not have the unusual decorations, but she was slowly getting used to it..
""What's new with you?" chirped Pinkie, and she brushed her mane behind her ear, but it quickly fell back on her face. Pinkie blew the hair out of her eyes again, but it quickly fell back on her face. Pinkie sighed and decided to give up. Fighting her hair was a losing battle.

"Thank you, Pinkie, your baked goods are surely the best.
I'm sure this batch will do little to change what I suggest."
Zecora gave a curious look to Pinkie's mention of the cupcakes. They were clearly muffins, but she choose to just shake her head in amusement instead of correcting her. Although the pony may have not always be the most coherent, her thoughtfulness was always certain.
"It is rather curious that you should ask, for a peculiar stallion recently assigned me a task.
Apparently drawn by my reputation and demeanor, the strange pony told me of his latest endeavor.
Revealing himself to be an entrepreneur with franchises galore,
he wished to hold a special event to promote his new store.
The stallion pushed for me to be the contest's host;
an impressive competition and prize, it did boast.
So, after a look over the contract that I signed,
two pairs of good friend is what I now must find."
Pausing a bit after recalling the event, an idea crossed her mind.
"Why don't you compete, along with a friend?! An offer like this, I'd be glad to extend," Zecora chimed.

Pinkie filled with pride.
"They were just cupcakes. No biggie." As Pinkie listened, she giggled at how she rhymed all the time.
Wait... Rhyme and time rhyme too! I'm a poet and I don't know it! Pinkie giggled in her mind. She started to drift off a bit, and the monkey in her head started playing the cymbals. BANG! BANG! BANG! The monkey's crashing of his cymbals went on and on. Soon, the monkey faded away and she started to tune back in. 'Contest's host', 'impressive competition and prize', 'two pairs of good friends is what I now must fine'. 'Why don't you compete, along with a friend?!' drifted into her ears and into her mind.
Wait...
A competition? Zecora was the host, and she was offering for her to compete? Pinkie's hungry stomach was forgotten.
YES! BEST DAY EVER! Pinkie thought.
A contest! That was like her... seventh favourite thing! Pinkie thought about it for a while. Who would she choose?
Rainbow Dash? Nah. Applejack? She's too busy working! Fluttershy? She's way too shy. Pinkie Pie? That's me! Rarity? Pinkie stopped on Rarity. She wasn't busy, was she? It was settled. Pinkie would ask Rarity.
"Sure, I'd love to enter!" Pinkie told Zecora. "And I know just who to ask! See you later!" Pinkie bounced off towards the boutique. She assumed Rarity was there, and Pinkie would be there soon enough.
Arriving at the boutique, Pinkie entered inside excitedly.
"Hey Rarity! I got some exciting stuff to tell you!" She stopped, short of breath.
She took a breath, and added "We've been offered to enter! Well, really I have, but it's a team of two friends and I want to enter with you!"

Rarity was, as usual when it came to a normal day at the Boutique, slumped over her machine, but just as the pink mare entered, she finished up the dress. She was prepared to pack it, and send it off to Horizon, who would then deliver it to its recipient. She levitated the dress and floated it in front of her face as she smiled, admiring her work. "Another job well done Rarity. Sometimes I can amaze even myself." She gave her confidence that little extra boost and began to slip the garment into the bag as a familiar pink mare busted through her door. The mare began shouting, which caused Rarity to lose her concentration and drop the dress right on Pinkie Pie's head.
"Dear me, Pinkie! You scared me! Let me help you with that." Rarity quickly rushed over to her friend and levitated the garment over to the side. She neatly folded it up and placed it aside for further work when she didn't have an excited pink attention-grabber in the room. Rarity followed Pinkie with her head as Pinkie bounced happily. "Pink- Pinkie Pie....Pinkie...do stop jumping for a moment wont you? Now...calm down and tell me what you have to say. Something about...entering a certain event? I don't quite understand. Do explain wont you?" Rarity wasn't certain what Pinkie was doing, or talking about, or thinking, but that came natural to knowing this mare.

Pinkie was just jumping, itching for Rarity's response to her when BOOM.
Everything looked like fabric! Holy cupcakes! What was going ON? Was she BLIND? What would she d- suddenly everything was alright. It was just one of Rarity's dresses. Close call. Pinkie thought.
She stopped bouncing, sat down and cleared her throat.
"Zecora is going to be a hostess for a friendship competition thing. According to her, the prize is from this big store trying to get more buisness, so I'm assuming the prize is something really cool, like cupcakes! O-or dresses." Pinkie decided to stretch the truth a tiny bit, so Rarity would want to enter with her. "So anyway, Zecora asked me to compete with a friend, and since most of the others are busy, I was thinking maybe you could enter with me? I mean, we're bestest friends, so it'll be a snap! And you're so BEAUTIFUl and SMART so it would be easy for you anyway... So, would you enter with me? Please?" Pinkie pleaded. She considered getting on her knees.

Rarity listened as Pinkie went along, and actually enjoyed the idea. A friendly little game that seemed like a lot of fun. She was eager to find something to pull her away from her work, and this seemed like the perfect solution. Normally, Pinkie and Rarity never seemed to spend much time together, aside from playing 73 consecutive games of tic-tac-toe in a row. Rarity smiled and listened, already ready to accept until Pinkie Pie mentioned the big store trying to attract customers. If dresses were involved, then there was only one possible place it could be. Rarity smiled as she remembered reading about the store. 'Superstore Equestria' was the store every fashion pony was raving about, there was even an interview between the stores owner and Sapphire Shores in her latest magazine.
"S-Super-Superstore Equestria?! Y-You mean...the prize is from Superstore Equestria!!" Rarity was so excited she nearly jumped through the roof. It took every ounce of her strength to not jump about like Pinkie normally would about things like this. Rarity gripped both of Pinkies shoulders and zoomed in face to face with the other mare. Her voice was serious, loud and a little demanding. "Pinkie. We HAVE to win that prize. Let's go!" Rarity was obviously in, she didn't even have to mention anything. She continued to drag Pinkie along until they were outside the Boutique. Rarity locked it up tight and left a note for both Horizon and Sweetie Belle, as the two mares made their way to Sugarcube Corner.

Pinkie grinned at Rarity's reaction to the prize. She herself, had never heard of 'Superstore Equestria', but by the way she raved about it, it must have been sweet! Pinkie started to imagine what it would be like. Maybe it would even have a chocolate fountain! She began to drool. She shook her head. Perhaps she was getting ahead of herself. OR MAYBE SHE WASN'T. Pinkie didn't know.
As she thought, she didn't realise Rarity was in until she said "Let's go!".
YES, Pinkie cheered in her head as she went along, and she pulled a 'woot' pose. I didn't even have to bribe her.
