Chapter one: Pinkie's Sadness

Pinkie walked into the front room of Sugarcube Corner. The bell rung.

"Hi Rainbow Dash!"

"Hey Pinkie"

Dash knew that Pinkie would ask about her and Soarin's date, so she just readied herself for the expected question.

"How'd it go with Soarin'?"

"Great, he even got me into the WonderBolts!"

Pinkie's mouth dropped. One of her biggest smiles appeared on her already cheery face.

"OOOOH I'm so happy for you Dashie!"

The bell rang, indicating that somepony had come in, and it was none other than Princess Twilight Sparkle Herself.

"Pinkie? You in here?"

"Twilight!"

"Hey guys"

Twilight let off a bit of a giggle, covering her mouth with one of her wings.

"Wassup Twi? Why the giggles?

"I want you two to meet somepony"

A Blue-maned Pegasus with a brilliant orange pelt walked in, a smile on his face.

"Continue…"

"We met in the Crystal Empire"

"Hi everypony, Name's Flash Sentry."

The colt wrapped his left forehoof around Twilight's neck, widening Pinkie's eyes. Rainbow narrowed hers. She looked at the stallion's hoof.

"I think I see a couple!"

Twilight blushed and headed to the door. Flash stepped forward, and opened his mouth.

"Well, it was really nice meeting you two. But im afraid Twiley and I have plans."

"C'mon, we're gonna be late!"

"Hey Pinkie, I gotta go to. Soarin's waiting for me."

The cyan Pegasus opened her wings and rocketed off, leaving her signature rainbow trail behind her. Pinkie sighed. The bell rung once more and Fluttershy came in, along with some colt with an apple cutie mark, so Pinkie guessed he was part of the apple family.

"Pinkie, I want you to meet somepony."

"Do tell."

"You may or may not remember him, but this is Brayburn, AJ's cousin."

Brayburn but his hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder, smiling. Pinkie saddened.

"Oh, yeah, I suppose you two are… (Gulp)…dating?"

Fluttershy blushed. Brayburn smiled at her, and then turned to Pinkie.

"Eyup, I'm takin Flutters out for dinner, but she insisted on meeting you first."

"Oh. Okay. You best get goin' then."

"See you later Pinkie."

"See ya."
