Chapter 5: The ex
Pinkie was at a young mare's birthday party, making balloon animals. Shadow was supplying streamers, balloons, confetti, all the stops. He was smiling sweetly as the young mare trotted excitedly.
"Oh thank you so much for helping ! I don't know what i would do with all this work." She jumped in the air, her eyes derpy, but in a good way.
"No problem dinky, i just hope you mom is okay with this." Shadow said,throwing more balloons to pinkie.
"Me? Im ecstatic! She has never had a bigger party." Her mom chimed in. "Thanks derpy." Shadow smiled at the mare.
Just then, a unicorn stallion walked in. He had an angry look on his face, wich only grew angrier as he stared at pinkie. He pushed some mares down surprising the crowd.
pinkie looked up at the stallion. Then she looked at shadow.
"Pinkie pie." He grinned evilly. "Pokey." Pinkie scowled. It was now a standoff. Shadow stood aside, looking on.
"You finally have the nerve to show up at one of my parties." Pinkie stared at pokey. " word on the street says you got a new boyfiriend."Pokey said. Shadow looked at pinkie. Pinkie pie looked at shadow.
" is he here? If he is im about to give him a beating. Then you."
Shadow couldn't contain his anger anymore. At a time like this, it was acceptable to blow. "You don't talk to her like that!" Shadow shouted, pokey now turning tward him.
"Your pinkie's new boyfriend? " pokey laughed. "You are nothing but a placeholder untill she finds a new one." Shadow gripped his hands. " are you asking for a beating?" Shadow growled.
Pokey smriked. "Yes." He was in shadow's face now, ready to fight him. Shadow looked reluctantly at pinkie pie. She nodded giving him permission. Shadow punched pokey, causeing pokey to fly back.
" so that's how you like to play." Pokey pointed his horn at him. " then let's play." Pokey zapped at shadow but missed. " why do you have beef with pinkie Pie?" Shadow yelled dodging another zap.
" I hate her you idiot. She broke my heart." Pokey lunged at shadow. " your lying!" Shsdow punched him.
" okay! I was using her do you know how easily Persuasive she is?!" He punched him back.
" BOYS, STOPP!" Pinkie yelled.
" pokey I will never ever in my mind truely love you. " She paused before continuing. " you kept acting Like a total jerk for no reason, ok?!" " she was angry. "Just leave me alone already!" Pokey was covered in his own blood, weak from shadow's beatdown.
" fine. You win." He gasped out. " I just don't want another beat down from that guy." Pokey pointed his hoof at shadow. He was also covered in blood. " good." Shadow smirked.
Pokey got up frightened and limped away.
Pinkie ran up to shadow. "Are you okay? He got you bad. Shadow looked at his gash. " it's fine. I can deal with it." Pinkie pie gasped. " no! I'm getting you to the hospital!" She bumped Shadow onto her back.
" every pony, this party is cancelled until further notice." The fillies and Colts nodded their heads, understanding the predicament they were in. dinky sighed sadly.
" I will bring a cake over to you once I'm done with this mess." She turned to shadow, her grin fading. The Little Filly nodded.
Shadow noticed how soft pinkie's coat was. He hang on to Pinkie as she ran like the wind. She sped past Rainbow Dash and Sonic who were having their usual race. "Pinkie pie?" Rainbow muttered. " and was that.. Shadow on her back?" They both dashed tord Pinkie Pie.
Shadow didn't realize that he fell asleep on her back. He woke up in a hospital bed, dazed.
" oh Shady, you're okay!" Pinkie squeezed him with a hug. He returned it with a stronger squeeze. " you'd know whould be."
Shadow noticed that his side wasn't hurting. He looked to it and gasped. It was all fixed, like nothing ever happened. Sonic interrupted. " after they sowed it shut, Twilight and starlight used their magic to finish the healing process." They both waved behind sonic.
" thank you guys!" Shadow smiled and pulled everyone in for a group hug. " whoa where did this Shadow come from?" Twilight laughed. " his true self." Pinkie smiled and closed her eyes happily. Everyone let go except for Pinkie.
They walked out of the hospital hand in hoof. " I love you."Sorry this took so long! I've had life interfere with my work. Anyways, I hope you liked this chapter! Write you later!
