After chasing down the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and getting them to not sky dive… I was tired of all the things we were doing to get our cutie marks. I mean come on, that's a lot in one day, almost dying twice!?
Anyway, I was going on a walk after the the Cutie Mark Crusaders Pinkie promised me they wouldn't do anything dangerous after I left. I just recently found out what a Pinkie promise was, and my eye is still recovering from trying it out before I left.
I started to walk around and browse the shops, when I heard a big crash. Thinking someone was hurt, I ran in the direction I heard the sound, and found Pinkie on the ground, with a broken, messed up bicycle type of thing.
"Pinkie, what happened?!" I asked, in shock.
She looked up at me, hair messed up and laying on her back, "That meanie Gilda stopped my flying bike and I crashed down here!"
"Who's Gilda?"
"A Griffon! An old friend of Rainbow Dash, too." She hopped up and dusted herself off, unhurt, thank goodness.
"A Griffon?" I asked, in disbelief. They had Griffons here? What's next, pigs with wings?
"Yeah, and she's a grumpy meanie pants from what I can tell!"
"Apparently, if she did make you crash." I replied.
"She also told me to 'buzz off!'" She stated, lowering her head slightly.
"She did? That's not cool!" I answered honestly.
"I was just about to go talk to Twilight about it… hey! I have a super-duper awesome idea! Want to come with me?" She asked, hopping up and down.
"Sure, I'll come with you." I answered, while we started walking towards the Library. Well, I was at least. Pinkie was hopping, of course.
Pinkie started rambling on and on about how Gilda was being rude, and always trying to steal Rainbow Dash away from her.
"Does Rainbow Dash know this is happening?" I asked, shocked. Rainbow wouldn't let this pass if she knew it was happening, I'm sure of it!
"No, she's always distracted by Gilda asking her to do tricks and have races." She replied, and stopped hopping as we approached the door to the library.
We opened the doors and found Twilight reading a book, while Spike was doing his daily chores.
"Hey, Twilight!" Pinkie greeted after stepping into the library.
"Oh, hey Pinkie, and Kate. Ah, I see you got your casts off!"
"Yep, I sure did!" I replied happily, swinging my leg and opening up my wing, proudly.
She smiled, and asked, "So, what are you guys need? Coming to check out a book?"
"No, we aren't Twilight, actually I have a problem and need advice." Pinkie denied.
"Oh? What's up?" Twilight asked, looking up from her book, after marking her place in it.
"Well, Rainbow Dash had an old friend come here to Ponyville from Junior Speedsters Flight School, and she's a grumpy meanie griffon!" Pinkie answered, remembering back to when she crashed.
"She's a griffon?" Twilight asked, suddenly a bit more interested.
"Yeah, and Rainbow Dash has no idea she's a meanie. She's always stealing Rainbow away, and she even told me to 'buzz off!'"
"Ah, I see what the problem is, Pinkie." Twilight replied, after a few seconds of silence.
"What?"
"You're jealous of Gilda spending a lot of time with Rainbow." Twilight stated, while re-opening her book.
"Jealous!?"
Spike stopped from his chores for a moment and spoke up, "Ah, green with envy. Well, in your case, pink with envy." He giggled at his own joke and went back to cleaning up when receiving a glare from Pinkie Pie.
"Twilight, you think I'm jealous? I am not jealous! Grr.." Pinkie answered madly, while mumbling some other things and running out of the door.
Twilight sighed, and went back to reading her book, which left me to go run after the mad Pinkie.
"Pinkie, wait!" I yelled while trying to catch up with her.
She wouldn't stop… and boy was she quick on her hooves. She probably ran almost as fast as Rainbow Dash flies!
I was running out of breath, when she stopped, and held her head low, while walking up the steps to Sugarcube Corner.
"P-Pink…Pinkie!" I gasped, while trying to get air.
"Sorry, Kate…" she answered, while walking in the shop.
She got a milkshake, and surprised me with one too.
"Thanks, Pinkie." I replied, while taking the milkshake in my mouth, trying to hold onto it as good as I possibly could, because I don't have fingers anymore. Man, I miss my fingers.
She lightened up while she sipped her milkshake as we sat outside on a table.
"Hey, G! I have to go finish up some weather jobs around here, I'll catch up with ya later!"
I was too busy sipping my milkshake and watching the other ponies happily pass the road to hear Rainbow and Gilda landing near.
Pinkie all of the sudden gasped, and ducked under the table.
"Pinkie, what in the world are you doing?" I asked, surprised as she shook the table violently.
"SHH!" She whispered loudly and pulled me into a crouching position, almost under the table.
"What are we doi-…" I tried to ask in a whisper before being cut off.
"SHH!"
"Ok, ok sorry!" I whispered quietly.
She pointed at a Griffon walking towards a stand.
My eyes widened, she was bigger than the ponies, not by much but still, it was my first time ever seeing a griffon, for real.
She scared Granny Smith, and stole fruit from a stand!
"Pinkie, did you see that? She stole fruit from that stand!" I pointed out, whispering a bit loudly.
"Yeah! I saw, but… maybe she'll give it back?" Pinkie asked, hopefully, trying to see a nicer side of Gilda.
"Pinkie, she ate it. If she wants to give it back, she's going to have to wait a few hours." I replied, sarcastically.
"Okay, at least she'll give it back!" She answered.
I rolled my eyes, and went back to looking at Gilda. I like Pinkie, but she really needed to pick up on sarcasm, and apparently learn about the digestive system.
Gilda started to walk forward, when Fluttershy came with a momma duck and several ducklings, leading them through the busy path.
"Oh no…" I thought to myself, I didn't think this would end well, because Gilda was going in the opposite direction, right in Fluttershy's path.
"Now come along little ones…" Fluttershy cooed, carefully leading them through as safely as possible, when she bumped into Gilda.
"Oh, excuse me…" Fluttershy said quietly, looking back at the ducks.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" Gilda yelled, saying more harsh things and imitating Fluttershy in an annoying high voice, sending the ducks to run, and Fluttershy crying.
Fluttershy…crying.
"Hey!" I said loudly, about to march forward when Pinkie pulled me back down before Gilda could see me. Gilda looked around, and left as she saw nopony in the direction I yelled.
"Pinkie, what are you doing? We have to go show her she can't yell at Fluttershy, or at anypony!" I replied to her sudden actions.
"We are, but we're going to do it… Pinkie Pie style!" She announced in a loud whisper to me.
Pinkie Pie style?
