Pink spared her friends one final glance before she hesitantly walked up her front steps and tried to open her front door.

A frustrated groan escaped her slightly chapped lips as she realized, after trying the doorknob, it was locked up tight and she'd have to knock.

She really didn't want to knock.

But she had to.

She had no other choice.

She lifted her shaking hand, forcefully curling her fingers into a tight fist before she raised it high then slammed it loudly against the front door. The large grey door that at the moment felt more like a tombstone than the entrance to her home. She shivered, despite the rather warm humid evening atmosphere.

She cringed excessively when she heard footsteps quickly approaching the other side of the door. She looked down at her bare feet and struggle to find courage.

Then the front door swung open without warning and her sister, Blue, stood in the doorway. Her bright eyes found Pink's own and Pink flinched when she was swept up in a hug and dragged into the house very quickly.

"MOM, IT'S PINK!!" Her sister called as she tugged on Pink's newly aquired overalls and eyed her bare feet curiously as she kept glancing between Pink and the stairs.

Pink eyed her cautiously and wrapped her arms around her own waist, and tried to back away from her hold. Blue however, was having none of that as she pushed Pink back into her side.However, Pink was still rather mad at Blue for betraying her.

"Oh Starlight, there you are." Her mom seemed to appear out of thin air, Pink jumped slightly at her sudden statement. A yelp escaped her lips when her mom grabbed her by the arm and tugged her into the tightest hug of Pink's life. Her mom held her tightly against her chest with one arm cradling the back of her neck while the other twisted a handful of the back of her overalls to keep the teen from moving or rather escaping.

The hug lasted minutes longer than was comfortable for Pink, but when she tried to pull away her mom's hold only tightened. Like a python. It was suffocating to say the least..

"I just needed to be alone for a-" her mom cut her off mid sentence as she pushed her back slightly, but firmly grasped her youngest's shoulders so they could have eye contact, but Pink couldn't run off.

"You gave everyone quite a scare. I cannot believe you would do something so foolish. I was worried sick, all night." She admonished in a patronizing tone, Pink bit her bottom lip, trying not to snap at her mother as her anger started bubbling up inside her.

"I'm sorry I worried you, but you're always-" Once more her mother cut her off as she cupped Pink's cheeks with both of her hands and drew her in closer. Pink stumbled, struggling to keep up with her mom's sudden movements.

" Apology accepted darling, oh but look at you, you'll need a bath right away, your hair is full of straw and would you just look at these overalls..." Her mom tisked as she pressed a kiss against her forehead before she grabbed her arm once more and dragged her upstairs. "Blue, call Yellow and let her know Pink's home now." Their mother ordered over her shoulder.

"Of course, I'll go call her right now." She promised sincerely as White pulled Pink down the hallway and into her very pink bedroom. Pink startled slightly when the door was shut somewhat agressively and her mom tugged her over to the bed. White sat herself down on the edge, before she pulled Pink closer by her pockets.

"Mom, I-" Pink started to interject when White put a finger to her lips before she started undoing Pink's overalls.

"I know what you're thinking, and this is far from over Starlight, and you're in so much trouble right now. But you're filthy and after you get cleaned up then we'll properly talk." She declared sternly and Pink flinched when her shirt was lifted over her head and her mom reached out and snatched her robe from the end of Pink's bed and proceeded to tie it around her.

"Can't I have privacy?!" The teen questioned heavily embarrassed about being prepped for a bath by her mom at fourteen, but she was also relieved to finally finish a whole statement for the first time since she was pulled into the house.

"Privacy to do what? Lie to me?" Her mom demanded sharply as she stood from Pink's bed and proceeded to tug her youngest out of the room and towards the bathroom. "I gave you a chance and you stabbed me in the back." She snarled opening the door as she nudged Pink towards the shower.

Pink felt shame crawl inside her at her mom's statements and tried to swallow it away, but it only seemed to grow.

Perhaps she was the one in the wrong.

"I'm really sorry mom" Pink tried again but her mom wouldn't even look at her as she stalked from the room to gather Pink's clothes. Tiredly Pink slipped into the shower, hoping to finish quickly so her and her mom could properly talk.

After changing into the bright pink fuzzy pajamas she'd found resting on the sink when she'd gotten out of the shower. She stared at her reflection, trying to swallow her bile and fear before facing her mother. She did not want to face her mother, but her mom was waiting and no doubt she would definitely not wait much longer..

Taking a deep breath Pink slowly padded back to her room hoping her mom had calmed down some. This was definitely not going to go well. When she pushed her door open and met her mom's stony glare, all courage she'd tried to accumulate during her trip from the bathroom, evaporated in a instant.

"Come here please Pink. I'm done with your games tonight."
