/ Heading Back Home / Story: Sisters Reunited/ by Matt11/-/

The night had passed after about ten hours of sleep, Twilight was rather surprised to see Pinkie in her house, when she woke up and went downstairs to find said pink pony sleeping on the couch.

After Pinki woke up she explained that she was headed back to the farm to find out from her mother if Scootaloo truly was her sister.
Twilight blinked. "Um, your sister?" She gave Pinkie a sceptical look. "Pinkie, I know it was a shock to find you're related to Applejack's family, but do you really think Scootaloo is related to you?"
Pinkie showed Twilight the scroll holding information on her family tree.
Twilight took it in her magic and scanned down it. Her eyes widened when she saw Scootaloo's name under Pinkie Pie in the list of the Pie siblings.
As a good friend Twilight supported Pinkie all the way. She was even going to tell her friends about it once Pinkie was gone, but Pinkie asked Twilight to Pinkie Promise to not tell Scootaloo, at least not until she had found true the answers .
Pinkie Pie headed home to pack her things. Mr and Ms Cake were asking where she was off to and Pinkie explained to them the same thing she told Twilight and they supported her.
Soon Pinkie Pie was packed and ready to head out, but unfortunately, she had to leave Gummy at home since her parents didn't really like alligators at all.
This caused the pink mare to pause as she thought about that. Why did her parents hate alligators? They worked on a rock farm. There wasn't an alligator for miles, so why did they hate them?

She shook the thought from her mind. Her family had always had a few odd quirks, though none as much as her.
Pinkie had waved goodbye to Mr. and Mrs Cake and the twins and left, headed for the train station.
On her way there, however, she stopped when she saw Diamond Tiara making fun of Scootaloo at the school house, because she was an orphan.

Luckily, Pinkie didn't have to jump in because the teacher came did instead and stopped it.
Phew. At least I didn't have to stop that meanie, Pinkie Pie thought, then smiled. Don't worry, Scootsy. If things go like I hope they will, she won't be able to bully you about that anymore.
When Pinkie Pie arrived at the train station a few minutes later, she was surprised to see all of her friends there waiting for her, waving directly at her.
Pinkie signed. She really didn't want to say goodbye to her friends like this.
Pinkie walked up to her friends, keeping a smile on her face so they didn't get sad.
"What are you girls doing here? Pinkie Pie asked, glad she'd hidden any emotion but curious joy from her voice.
"Well, you see, Pinkie, we just wanted to wish you luck and just remember, if you ever need us, just call," Twilight said as she gave Pinkie a hug.
It didn't take long for the entire group to be in the hug Pinkie separated from the group reluctantly. "Well girls, I'll try and be back by tomorrow!" Pinkie Pie said, grinning.

Turning, she galloped into the train, gave the ticket pony her ticket and she took a seat by a window.
She opened the window, waving goodbye to her friends and yelled "SEE YOU GIRLS WHEN I GET BACK!" as the train started moving and her friends lowly faded from view.
Pinkie sat back down and took a deep breath. This was going to be an interesting trip.

Pinkie had eventually fallen asleep on the way to the farm. There were a few bumps that woke her up, but she had managed to go back to sleep.
While on the train Pinkie could hear some little filly whine that it was taking forever to arrive. "Just hold yourself together there, fillies," she murmured, wanting to hear happy words from the fillies, not whines.
Pinkie was about to fall asleep but the train stopped "Attention! Now arriving at Baltimare!" the train employee yelled.
Pinkie jumped out of the seat, grabbed her luggage and headed off the train doors.

She had finally arrived.
"Okay, time to find out the truth," Pinkie Pie said, walking off to the farms direction.
Unfortunately it started to rain "Darn it I forgot to bring an umbrella-hat," Pinkie Pie said as her mane started to get wet.
Soon after lots of walking over hills and other things, Pinkie was in clear view of the farm.
The rain had also stopped, but Pinkie smiled brightly when she saw her mother, Sue and her father, Blackberry smashing rocks as always.
Pinkie took a deep long breath and said "Okay, you can do this, Pinkie.
The party mare galloped over to her parents.
