Private Pie
*At Celebration Castle...*
"Did any of you hear that rainbows are made with pixie dust? That can?t be true can it?" asked Minty.
"What? No way. We know the unicorns in Unicornia make rainbows. What would make someone say otherwise?" replied Pinkie Pie.
"I sure didn?t and thought Unicornia was responsible too," added Minty.
"Besides, if rainbows were made of pixie dust, I?d know," assured Rainbow Dash.
"Is anyone else gonna talk about how dancing brings special gifts?" asked Twinkle Twirl.
"Does it? I don?t know about that. I mean, don?t we always have a Friendship Ball with dancing and nothing is truly given to us out of the blue?" questioned Pinkie Pie.
"I suppose that?s true," pondered Twinkle Twirl.
"Still, we do give out a gift so it?s partially true," noted Minty.
"Yeah but mostly it?s for a reward. It?s not a given that someone will give you a gift just because you start dancing," protested Pinkie Pie.
"Good point, Pinkie," remarked Twinkle Twirl.
"Alright, I think we need to find out where these rumors are coming from. Would anyone here have any ideas?" realized Pinkie Pie.
"This newspaper might be a good start," said Minty.
"I forgot we even get that every week," stated Twinkle Twirl.
"Most of us don?t even read the whole thing," added Skywishes.
"Let?s take a look. There?s a bunch of rumors in here. What?s this even called anyway? Rumors ?R Us. That figures," read Pinkie Pie.
"So is there a publisher?" asked Minty.
"I?m still looking and haven?t found that part yet, Minty," replied Pinkie Pie.
"Well I know that none of us would send them. Are we sure we even opted to subscribe to this?" asked Star Catcher.
"Come to think of it, I don?t remember signing up," said Pinkie Pie.
"That may mean this was sent without our knowledge," concluded Star Catcher.
"That?s kinda scary," remarked Minty.
"What?ll we do about it?" asked Skywishes.
"We need to find the source but I doubt there?s one on here because if someone is making all this up, it?s unlikely they?d give themselves away. We can ask the mailpony what he thinks when it arrives next week," answered Pinkie Pie.
"That?s a long time from now as it just came today," recalled Minty. *A week later...*
"Um, excuse me, Mr. mailpony. Where exactly did that newspaper come from? We didn?t sign up for it," questioned Pinkie Pie.
"Some rogue company sends them out to everyone. I guess they?re looking for a good chuckle. If ya want, I can stop giving it to you and your friends," replied the mailpony.
"That?d be great. Thank you. Anything else for us?" continued Pinkie Pie.
"Just a few things," replied the mailpony before handing them over.
"Glad that?s over," said Minty.
"Yeah. I?ll settle for regular mail we did ask for any day," agreed Skywishes.
"I?m sure glad they were all wrong. I mean could you imagine if stars were just painted on? That?d take all the fun of finding out more," stated Star Swirl.
"Either way, we can go back to our normal way of life," said Skywishes.
