It was a bright and sunny morning in Ponyville like always. The streets were filled with ponies coming back and forth the marketplace doing their morning shopping. A familiar pink pony with a huge grin pasted on her face was bouncing down one of the streets. Her curly, magenta mane bobbed up and down with every bounce she took. This pink hyper pony was of course none other than Pinkie Pie.
Today was exciting day to Pinkie Pie because it was her day off. So, today she was looking for one of friends to hang out with. Her first choice was of course her partner in prank crime, Rainbow Dash. Unfortunately, she was away in Cloudsdale to run some errands. Fluttershy was also busy with emergency in the Everfree forest. Pinkie's next choice was her bookworm friend, Twilight Sparkle.
As she was walking down the street leading to the library, she saw a white pony with a yellow mane galloping towards her with tears in her eyes. She ran past Pinkie at break neck speeds causing Pinkie to spin out of control to resemble a small tornado. A blue stallion galloped by as well.
"Dandy come back! I can explain!" called out the blue stallion towards the mare
"I'll never believe you again!" cried Dandy off in the distance.
After spinning for several seconds, Pinkie Pie stopped in place and stood there blinking out of confusion. She shrugged off what just happened and continued on with her huge grin again.
She finally arrived in front of a large tree. This was a unique tree because it was modified into a library. It also doubled as Twilight's home where she and spike had lived while in Ponyville. After just staring at the tree house for several seconds, she hopped right up to the door and knocked on the door using her head.
"Heeellooo? Twiiiliight you home?" sang Pinkie pie. The door suddenly started to open revealing a small scaly creature, Spike.
"Oh hey Pinkie." Spike said yawning, apparently waking up from a nap.
Spike was a baby purple dragon that twilight had hatched herself. He served Twilight as an assistant and communication link to the princess.
"You need something?" asked Spike
"Ya, is Twilight here? I was hoping we could hang out and stuff, like play in the park, or bake cupcakes, or Bake cupcakes in the park! Of course I don't know how we could do that since it will be hard to get the oven outside. Maybe if we get a long extension cord and—"
"Pinkie!" exclaimed Spike trying to make her stop her jabbering. "Sorry twilight isn't here right now. She had to leave to Canterlot for some important business"
"Oh…" said Pinkie lowering her head. "Well, how long will she be gone?"
"I don't know, she said like a week but…" responded spike with a bit of doubt in his voice. He then noticed the growing frown on Pinkie's face. "Well, how about finding someone else to hang out with?" he suggested trying to cheer her up.
All of a sudden, Pinkie Pie lifted her head with widened, gleeful eyes.
"Oh! Do you want to hang out spike? We could go play in the park, or bake cupcakes, or bake cupcakes in the pa—"
"ACTually…" Quickly interrupting Pinkie, "I'm busy um…" said Spike quickly looking around looking for an excuse. He looked back in the library and quickly thought of something. "Oh ya! I promised Twilight I would clean and organize the library while she was gone."
Pinkie poked her head inside the library to see how messy it was. She immediately noticed everything was organized.
"It doesn't look it needs cleaning to me." Said Pinkie.
"Uh…" uttered Spike. He slowly backed up to a book shelf and threw down a book behind his back. "Yes it is. It's so crammed up that books are randomly falling out.
"Well then, I'll help you!" cheerfully said Pinkie.
"No that's ok. You remember last time you tried to help clean the Library…" said Spike in a flat tone.
"Oh ya… I still don't know where that raccoon came from!" Pinkie said thinking back what had happened that day.
"So ya, busy today! Sorry I can't hang out with you today. Oh well have fun!" said Spike gently pushing Pinkie out the front door.
"But are you su—" Pinkie was cut off with the door quickly closing on her.
"Whew…" sighed Spike. He then looked up to see all the books had really fallen after he had pulled that first book. "Aw man…"
Pinkie Pie turned around and let out a big sigh. She immediately cheered up after remembering she still had more choices.
"Well there's always Rarity!" exclaimed Pinkie. She put her Grin back on her face and started hopping towards Rarity's boutique.
"CLOSED?" exclaimed Pinkie at the sign hanging on the door of Rarity's place. Right as she was about to grab the paper out of frustration the door swung open knocking Pinkie back on her flank. She swayed her head up with her eyes rolling around in a circular manner. She sees three figures at the door of the boutique, which all resembled Rarity's little sister
"Whoa. Sweetie Bell I didn't know you had twin sisters" said Pinkie. She shook her head to regain her eyesight. She quickly realized it was just one Sweetie Belle standing at the door way. She also had a worried expression on her face.
"Pinkie!" cried Sweetie Belle "Oh I'm sorry, are you ok?" Sweetie Belle quickly helped her up to her legs and started dusting her off with her tail.
"Yah, I'm okay" replied Pinkie with a short giggle. "Hey Sweetie bell where's your sister?"
"Oh, Rarity? She had to go to some fashion show in Fillydelphia. She said it was very important so she quickly packed and left. Sweetie replied as she dusted the last of the dirt off of Pinkie.
"Oh… Wait and she left you alone?" said Pinkie Pie
"Nah. She told me to go to ask the apple family if I could stay over for a while." Said Sweetie Belle picking up her bag. "I came back and packed some stuff after they said yes. I guess I was kinda excited and busted through the front door. Sorry."
"Haha, it's ok." said Pinkie Pie waving a hoof back and forth. "Hey! Maybe I'll go with you and see if Apple Jack wants to hang out."
"Oh they told me she went to Appleloosa to check up on the family over there."
"Aw, what really?" said Pinkie. She quickly felt as if a dark could was forming over her. All her friends were busy on her first day off since a while. She then quickly looked up toward Sweetie Belle to ask her one more question.
"Wait, can I still-" She stopped as she noticed Sweetie Belle had already left for the farm. Pinkie let out a sigh and turned around. She started trotting away with her curls slowly straightening out.
It was now about pass noon and Pinkie found herself sitting at an outdoor restaurant table. She has a daffodil and daisy sandwich in front of her which she had ordered a little earlier. She had a very gloomy expression on her face while she looked at her lunch. She then dropped her head into the sandwich and let out a big sigh.
"I guess this will be a boring day off…" she said with her words being muffled by the sandwich.
Her hair was almost completely straight at this time. She lifted up her head to see her face had left an imprint in the sandwich which made her chuckle a little. She took a bite of her sandwich which she chewed slowly. While savoring her sandwich, Pinkie looked up and scanned the area with her eyes. She lazily dragged her eyes left to right. In her head she named everypony that she saw since she knew everypony town. As she kept scanning, she came across a pony who was sitting by a tree by himself. She could not by the life her remember the name of. She had the sudden realization that it was because she had never seen him before.
"WHOA! It's a new pony in town!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. All of her gloom she had a second ago had disappeared. She was happy now she had something to do which was greeting and befriending a new pony. However, something was off. She couldn't tell exactly that it was a pony.
"He seems really weird for a pony. It kinda looks like he's missing his…" Pinkie actually couldn't put her hoof on it. "Maybe it's because he kinda far away. I'll go say hi to get a closer look. Pinkie Pie then rose from her table and started hopping towards the strange new pony.
