Chapter 33: The Return of Cheese

Flutter Night: Thx for reviewing.

It was a spring day in Canterlot City, and Pinkie and her friends were walking down the street after some shopping.

"That was a great sale." said Rarity.

"Yeah, I can't believe we got all these clothes for such a good price." added Twilight.

As they walked, something caught Pinkie's eye and she stopped. When her friends noticed, they went back to her.

"Hey, Pinkie what's up?" asked Applejack.

"Look." Pinkie said, pointing at something.

It was a poster advertising the fair.

"The fair's coming back?" Fluttershy wondered hopefully.

"Awesome!" cheered Rainbow Dash.

"And that also means..." Pinkie started excitedly.

The girls looked at each other knowingly.

"Cheese Sandwich is coming!" she squealed.

Cheese Sandwich was the son of the couple who owned the fair, they met the last year and the two bonded over their love of parties, goofy and silly things, and jokes.

"Excited to see him again, Pinkie?" asked Fluttershy.

"You bet. It's gonna be amazing." Pinkie told her.

She could imagine it, they would tell each other jokes, swap tips about how to do plan parties, and just have fun together. The fair couldn't get here soon enough.

The days went by, and then the fair arrived. Pinkie got permission from her parents to go to the fairgrounds while they were setting up. She hopped on her scooter, and rode off to the fairgrounds.

When she got there, she parked her scooter outside, and went onto the grounds. She saw people setting up the rides, booths, and games.

"Now where could Cheese be?" Pinkie asked herself.

She looked around, and then she spotted his mother.

"Hi, Mrs. S." she greeted happily.

The woman looked up, and smiled at her.

"Hello, Pinkie." she greeted.

"Is Cheese here?"

Mrs. Sandwich then got a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Pinkie asked concerned.

"(Sighs), Cheese is in the hospital, dear." Pinkie's eyes went wide.

"What? What happened?"

Mrs. Sandwich explained that when they got there Cheese was helping some of the workers set up a both, but then something gave way, and the booth fell on top of him and he broke his leg in two places.

"Is he okay?"

"He's going to be fine. But his leg's in traction and he's gonna be on hospital bed rest for the next two months."

Pinkie felt her heart drop. Cheese was going to be in the hospital for two months?

That night at dinner, Pinkie barely touched her food, and hardly talked. This really concerned her family.

"Pinkamena dear, is everything okay?" asked Cloudy Quartz.

"What? Oh, I'm fine, Mom."

"No you're not. You haven't spoken a word." Maud piped up.

"Yeah what's up with that?" Limestone wanted to know.

"Now now, please." Igneous Rock told everyone.

He then faced his second youngest daughter.

"Pinkie if something is bothering you, you can talk to us about it."

Pinkie sighed, and explained what had happened to Cheese Sandwich.

"Oh that's terrible." Cloudy Quartz said.

"I know. How am I suppose to enjoy the fair when Cheese Sandwich is in the hospital?"

"You could always visit him." Maud mentioned.

Marble nodded in agreement. That made Pinkie perk up.

"Can I Mom and Dad, please?"

Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz just looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Pinkie waited impatiently for school to be over. She had already told her friends about Cheese being in the hospital, and they were all for Pinkie going to visit him. As soon as school was over, Pinkie got ready to head to the hospital.

"You tell Cheese we hope he feels better." Twilight told her.

"I will. See you guys later." Pinkie replied.

She then got on her scooter, and scooted to the hospital. When she got there, she told the receptionist who she wanted to see, who she was and her relationship to him. He sent her up to the 3rd floor, and told her Cheese was in room 914.

Pinkie rode the elevator up to the 3rd floor, and walked down the hall to room 914. When she got to his room, she saw that the door was open and a nurse was walking out of it.

"I'll come check on you later, Cheese." she told him.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie. I'm here to see Cheese Sandwich." Pinkie told her.

"Go on in. Cheese you have a visitor."

Pinkie poked her head in, and saw Cheese Sandwich. He was lying in bed, wearing a white hospital gown with small black dots, and his right leg was in white cast and in traction.

"Hi, Cheese." she greeted happily

. Cheese looked at her, and gave a little smile.

"Hi Pinkie." he said.

She walked over to his bed, and saw down in a chair beside it.

"Your mom told me about what happened. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, it was an accident. Nothing could be done."

Pinkie noticed that Cheese didn't seem like his usual self.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Well...to be honest Pinkie I'm not really feeling okay. I'm feeling...sad."

Pinkie's face fell, she didn't like seeing him like this.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Cheese sighed, and began explaining. When the booth gave way and fell on his leg it was really painful, and the ambulance ride and emergency room were pretty chaotic. And even though the doctors said his leg would be fine he didn't like the idea staying in the hospital for two whole months.

"I'm really sorry, Cheese. I remember when I had my tonsils out. I couldn't talk for a few days. It was a bad feeling."

"I'm sure it was, Pinkie. But I don't think a few days without talking is the same as having a broken leg."

"And to make matters worse, I think I lost my laugh."

"Lost your laugh?"

"Yeah, usually I can laugh at anything. But lately I can't laugh at anything."

Pinkie felt her heart breaking, she could usually make anyone smile but this time she couldn't.

When visiting hours were over, Pinkie went home. She couldn't get Cheese Sandwich out of her mind. He looked so sad, and wished there was something he could do to help him. She decided to ask her friends for her help.

They met at the mall, and she told them everything.

"That's so sad." said Twilight.

"I know. And seeing him sad...made me sad." Pinkie admitted.

"Don't be like that Pinkie." Rarity told her. "You can make anyone smile."

"Rarity's right. I'm sure you can find a way to get Cheese his laugh back." Applejack encouraged.

Pinkie smiled a little.

"You're right. I can get Cheese's laugh back. But how?"

"You know how to make anyone smile and laugh, Pinkie. And you know Cheese Sandwich pretty well." Fluttershy said.

Pinkie thought for a moment, and the came up with an idea.

The next time Pinkie went to go see Cheese she carried a bag with her and wore a different kind of outfit.

"Cheese, you have a visitor." a nurse informed.

Cheese looked up to the door, and couldn't believe his eyes. There stood Pinkie dressed in a hot pink shirt with ruffled sleeves, green leggins with blue polka dots, and on her feet were some funky looking shoes.

"Hi, Cheese." she greeted.

"Pinkie. What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I came to cheer you up, and help you get your laugh back." Pinkie explained, as she walked into his room.

"Really?" Cheese asked hopefully.

"Yep. And I wore my favorite funny outfit. You like it?"

Cheese looked her up and down, and smiled.

"Yes I do."

"Great."

She sat on his bed, and put her bag on it.

"What's that?"

"This is all my jokes, gags, toys, and party supplies. All the stuff I use to make people laugh."

Cheese looked in the bag, and looked impressed.

"They let you bring all this into the hospital?"

"I had to promise not to disturb the others patients and staff members."

"Well, Pinkie if you think you can get my laugh back do your stuff."

Pinkie smiled at him.

First she tried small things, telling him jokes from her joke book. They amused Cheese, but they didn't make him laugh. It also didn't help that heard the jokes before. Then she tried making him laugh by wearing some funny glasses, but that didn't work either.

But Pinkie wasn't about to give up.

"All right, let's start a little smaller. Before you laugh, you need to smile." she told him.

"Makes sense."

"All right, let me see you smile." Cheese tried, but he wasn't able to do it.

"How's this?" he asked.

"Er, not quite. Let me see if I can help you."

She walked up behind him, gently grabbed his cheeks, and started to carefully pull his face into a smile.

"Okay, you ready? It's all on you now."

She let go, and his face managed to stay in a smile for a moment, but his face fell again.

"Did it work?" Cheese asked.

"Uh, not really." Cheese looked disappointed.

"Don't worry, Cheese. I'm not giving up." Pinkie told him firmly.

She excused herself, and went out into the hallway to think.

"There must be a way to get Cheese's laugh back."

Then she heard the sound of something falling. She turned and saw that a nurse had dropped some papers. Being the nice girl she was, Pinkie helped the nurse.

"Thank you, dear. My mind's all over the place I dropped these papers."

"Is everything okay?"

"Oh, we were supposed to have a party clown come and entertain the kids in the pediatric ward, but he called out at the last minute."

That gave Pinkie an idea.

"Ma'am I think I have a solutions to both of our problems. Just a second."

And with that, she hurried back to Cheese's room.

"Cheese, I think I may have a solution to your laughing problem."

"You do?"

"Yeah, you know what always makes me smile?"

"What?"

"Seeing others smile. When was the last time you made someone else laugh?"

Cheese thought for a moment, and then answered.

"I can't remember."

"The nurse needs a clown for the kids, and I think you're the perfect guy to the job."

That made Cheese feel hopeful.

The nurse got him a wheelchair, and Pinkie used her bag full of things to make Cheese look like a clown. Then they went to the pediatric ward.

"All right kids, as I promised we have a special visitor here to see you. But also we have another visitor." the nurse told them.

The kids cheered quietly.

"Let me present Cheese Sandwich and his friend, Pinkie Pie."

The kids clapped, and in came Pinkie and Cheese. Cheese wore a pair of stripes pants, a puffy red wig, and oversize hospital slippers.

"Hey there kids!" the two greeted happily.

The two started to entertain the kids by telling jokes, juggling various objects, and making the kids laugh by acting silly. When Cheese saw the smiles on the kids' faces and heard their laughs it made him smile, and then he began laughing.

When Pinkie saw Cheese's face it made her smile too.

When they finished the nurse thanked them for their help.

"Thank you kids. The kids really enjoyed it."

"It was our pleasure." replied Cheese.

"We had a great time." Pinkie added.

As Pinkie wheeled Cheese back to his room, they talked.

"Thanks for this Pinkie. I guess I just needed to see others laughing to make me laugh."

"It was no problem, Cheese. It made me happy to see you laughing again."

After a while, visiting hours were over, and it was time for Pinkie to leave.

"I've got to go now, Cheese."

"Okay, I know I can't go to the fair, but still go for the both of us."

"I promise."

The two then hugged, and to Pinkie's surprise Cheese gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Come back and visit me."

"I will."

And with that, Pinkie skipped out of the hospital feeling happier than ever and smiling bigger than she ever had.
