Well, here's my newest story. I'm sure you all read the summary, so I'm gonna shut up and let you read it now.
You Pinkie Promised...
"Hey Pinkie!" A young colt called. He was an olive colored earth-pony, with a wild, almost-but-not-quite, spiky brown mane. He trotted over towards me as I walked away from the rock farm, the place my family called home. He was carrying a couple light saddle bags and he had a bright smile on his face.
"Oh... hey Grassy." I said, without my usual, bouncy bubblyness. I didn't feel like playing today. I'd had a long day of hard work, and all I wanted to do was rest.
"Something wrong? I bet I know somepony who could cheer you up, real quick! His name is... guess!" He said, seeming especially exited today.
"Grassy Green, the most amazingly fun friend in Equestria. Look Grassy, I just don't feel like playing today... I'm tired." I groaned. I felt kind of bad about disappointing him but it was the truth. We had to work harder than usual today to finish an order for one of Daddy's customers. They said something came up and that they'd pay extra to have it finished sooner, and before I knew it, I'd been told to do twice as much as usual so the stone cart could arrive a few days early.
"Aww, but Pinkie, you always love to play after your done working!" He sighed, but then perked up again."Hey, why don't we just rest, huh? I came up with something and I think you'll love it! How about we sit over there on that hill? We can get a good view right from under that big tree, up there at the top!"
I thought for a second.
"Eh... alright, sounds good. I could use a short break, anyway." I said. We walked up the hill and settled down under the tree, in the shade. Grassy looked at me and smiled.
"Okay, so you know how I told you about my 'Grassy Guarantee'?" He asked excitedly. "Well, I came up with a 'Pinkie Promise'!"
"Ha ha! That's great!" I said with a smile. He could always make me smile.
"Heheh... okay, okay, now Pinkie Promise me that you'll... cross your heart and pray to Princess Celestia to make you a pegasus, because that would be awesome!" He exclaimed, causing both of us to start giggling, laughing harder and harder until we couldn't breath.
We rolled onto our backs, our sides aching from the fit of laughter.
"Heh... hey... hey Pinkie... hey, you know what?" Grassy managed to say between gasps.
"Wha... What is it?" I said, trying to catch my breath, too. Smiling, he reached into his saddle bag and pulled out a brown, paper bag.
"What's that?" I asked, finally able to breath normally.
"It's an early birthday present. I know your birthday's still not for another couple weeks, but I saw it and I knew you'd just love it! I was helping Mr. Better Batter out a little at the pastry shop in town and he let me pick something to take home for free!" He said, as he reached into his bag. As he emerged, he pulled out a large, sprinkled, white cupcake with a fluffy swirl of pink frosting.
"That looks super, duper delicious!" I squealed, nearly vibrating in anticipation. I carefully took the cupcake into my hooves, and looked at him again. He motioned with his head, as if to say, 'Go on, eat it!'.
I took a small bite, wanting to get the most out of my early birthday present, but as the sweet strawberry frosting and fluffy vanilla flavored cake met my tongue, I gave in and ravenously devoured the helpless dessert.
"Heheh, so I guess you like it?" He asked, grinning.
"You bleh yough flanh ah oo!" I said, while chewing a large bite. "Besh preshent," I continued, gulping down the last bit of the cupcake, "ever!"
"Thank you so much! It was delicious!" I leaned over and have him a quick hug, and giggled when I saw him blushing.
"Aww well, it was nothing. I'm just glad you liked it." He smiled at me, and I smiled back. "You got some on your face."
My exceptionally long tongue shot out and cleaned off my face in seconds. "No I don't."
"Ha ha, wow." He looked out over the fields towards the large rock piles around the farm. He seemed thoughtful for a moment, and then his eyes brightened and he smiled even wider.
"Hey, Pinkie, have you ever been to a party?" He asked me.
"Hmm... Well I don't know. We don't really usually throw parties at the farm.. We're always so busy. " I looked down at the ground. My family never had time for fun.
"We'll, how about we throw a party?" He asked.
"Us? We can't throw a party, we don't even know how!" As much as I loved the idea, it didn't seem to be realistic.
"Sure we can! It's easy! We just gotta figure out the rules. Not dumb rules, like 'don't play with your food', or 'use your inside voice' but rules that would make a party fun! So, what does a party need?"
"Hmm... A party.. Needs... Decorations!" I said after a moment of thought.
"And snacks!"
"And.. Music! Really fun music, not boring old classical music like my mom and dad like."
"Hmm.. Yeah, yeah those are good." He reached into his bag agian and brought out a small note pad and a pen. "Here, I have a note pad and a pen, lemme write it down!"
We wrote down all the rules we could think of for a party. We had a lot of fun, even if we weren't really gonna throw a real party with cake and balloons and everything. We just didn't have enough money to go and buy those things.
As the sun was sinking over the horizon, we slowly stood up and stretched. "Well, it's getting pretty late.. I should probably get home." I said, my exhaustion creeping into my voice.
"Yeah.. Well, hey, I'll see you tommorrow right?" He said as we started walking down the side of the hill towards the dirt path.
"Yeah, if I don't sleep all day. I hope I get off early.. Today was exhausting." I said with a quiet chuckle.
"Ha ha, okay then. I'll see you later." He turned left, and I turned right. I heard him yell "I Pinkie Promise!" over his shoulder.
I sighed as my smile turned into a tired frown. It had been a long day, but talking with Grassy and that cupcake made it all worth it.
Well, here is is so far. it's been all happy so far, but pretty soon it's gonna get really depressing. And I do mean REALLY depressing. Have fun!
