I had been following Pinkie Pie around Ponyville for nearly three hours, and my legs were really starting to get tired.
"Um Pinkie?" I said, trying to get the pink ponie's attention.
"Yes?" She asked, jumping as she walked.
"You do know where you're taking us, right?"
"I was taking us somewhere?" She asked, turning to face me. Suddenly, her flank began twitching. "Uh-oh..." she muttered, suddenly running underneath a table and staring up at the sky.
"Um... are you ok?" I nervously asked.
"NO!" she exclaimed. "My pinkie sense is tingling! See?" she turned and pointed her flank at me and I found that it was shaking rather violently.
"Ok then... I'm just gonna go find my house on my own. Thanks for the... help." I muttered, walking off. I found a house that looked close to mine on my map and walked up to it. I was about to knock on the door, when suddenly, I was tackled to the ground. I was so startled that I lost my magic grip on my bag and Allan's cage, causing them to fall to the ground. Allan's cage broke open and the black crow flew out and landed on top of a nearby lamp-post.
"Gah!" I yelled, finding the pony that tackled me was Pinkie Pie. "What the hell is your problem!" I pushed the pink pony off of me, and brushed the dust off of my vest. "Stay away from me you psycho." I told Pinkie after she got to her hooves.
"Huh?" She was shocked. "But... I don't understand. I was only trying to-"
"I don't care..." I interrupted. "Just go away and leave me alone!" She opened her mouth, about to say something, but then closed it and began walking away, tears beginning to stream from her eyes. Her large fluffy hair seemed to deflate as it fell.
"Ok..." She whimpered. "Goodbye... forever..." She then ran off in the direction of a dark and eerie looking forest. I sighed as I looked at my bird's broken cage.
"Prick." I heard a female voice say.
"Huh?" I looked around and found an orange pony and red stallion next to a cart full of apples. "Were you speaking to me?" I asked.
"Eeyup." The stallion simply stated.
"What you just did," the orange pony started. "Was most unkind."
"She tackled me for no reason, and broke my crow's cage." I explained. "That unkindness was entirely justified."
"Oh really?" She asked, pointing to where I had been standing when Pinkie Pie had tackled me. There was a large broken pot there. I looked up at the house and found where the pot had fallen from. It was a height that most certainly have killed me.
"Oh..." I gasped. "OH! I need to apologize!"
"Yup." the stallion said. I quickly began looking around, trying to remember where Pinkie Pie had ran. I was about to run off when I suddenly remembered something: my bags.
"Listen, um..." I said to the pony.
"Name's Applejack, mister." she responded.
"Applejack, I'm gonna go apologize to Pinkie Pie." I quickly said. "But I can't leave my bags here. Could you-"
"Sure thing, mister." She grabbed my bag with her teeth and started to walk off, but stopped and turned back to me. "Um, where's your house?" I pulled out my map and handed it to her.
"Here." I said pointing at my house. "Thanks, bye." I said running off for the forest that Pinkie ran into.
2 HOURS LATER:
"Pinkie!" I shouted, nearly tripping over a tree root. "Pinkie! I'm sorry!" I had been trying to find her for a while now, and it looked like the sun was setting. I looked down at my vest and found that it was in terrible condition. It had holes, there was dirt and all other manner of stains. I sighed. I honestly couldn't care less about my vest, it just annoyed me that I was going to have to get another. Suddenly, I heard a scream to my left. I turned and saw a little bit of pink past some bushes. "Pinkie?" I called out. There was no answer and so I pushed through the bush and came into a clearing. I was not prepared for what I found. As I entered the clearing, I found Pinkie Pie, tied to a tree. And nearby I found a group of strange dog-like creatures trying to start a fire, and failing miserably.
"pink pony taste good..." the first creature said, having just licked Pinkie.
"Not taste good as diamonds though." another said.
"Will taste better when cooked." the third creature said. Pinkie was to horrified to speak. She wasn't even whimpering. It didn't take a genius like me to know what was about to happen. I tried to come up with a plan when suddenly, the creatures' bundle of sticks burst into flames.
"Hooray!" all three of them called out. I decided that there was no time to think so I simply stepped further into the clearing. I was able to tell by the size of the creatures that I couldn't take them in a physical fight, so I decided to do what I do best: scaring. My horn glowed for the briefest of moments, causing the wind to suddenly pick up and blow out the fire.
"Huh?" the first creature said.
"What happened?" the second asked.
"I happened..." I said. My horn glowed again and suddenly, the first of the creatures began screaming and running around.
"What's wrong brother?" the other two creatures asked trying to calm down the creature. A smirk formed on my face.
"He is currently experiencing his greatest fear." I explained. The remaining creatures turned to face me. "And now it's your turn..." my horn glowed with a dark light, and one of the creatures fell to the ground with a look of horror plastered across its face, while the other started jumping up and down spasmodically. I walked over to where Pinkie Pie was tied up, and using my magic, undid the knots on her rope. "Pinkie..." I said, looking down at her as she shook in fear. "I wish to formally apologize for the way I treated you earlier today." I said, bowing my head. "I hadn't realized until it was too late that you had saved my life. And I just feel terrible for having yelled at you the way I did. So, would accept my sincerest apologies?"
"I...I...I... you... I... You..." she stuttered. I sighed as I turned away, thinking that there was no way Pinkie Pie was ever going to forgive me. Suddenly, I felt somepony hug me very tightly. I looked down and saw that it was Pinkie. "Of course I forgive you silly!" She shouted, a wide smile on her face." I began to blush as she stopped hugging me. She then suddenly leaned in and gave me a kiss on my the cheek.
"C'mon." I said, taking her hoof in mine. "Let's get you home." We then walked off into the dark forest. Me feeling a strange warmth in my chest that I had never felt before.
