>You stood there, silent.
"Oh"
>She sobs. *sniff* "I'm sorry Anon. We'll h-have to hang out some other day."
>She closes her eyes.
>She starting to cry again.
>You have to help her.
"Would you mind if I just sat with you?"
>Her eyes widen a bit in surprise, then close again. "I..." She sniffles. "I'd like that."
>You walk up to the tree she's leaning against, and sit next to it.
>For a while, neither of you say anything. Her sobs and the rustling tree are the only thing you hear.
>After a moment, you speak up.
"Hey Pinkie."
>She looks up to you. "Yeah, Anon?"
"When I think about it, despite all the times we've hung out, I think I only ever saw Gummy when he was hanging on your tail."
>She raises an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yeah. What was he like?"
>She seems to perk up somewhat. "Oh, he was the best little alligator you could ever meet."
>The rest of the evening is filled with stories about Gummy.
>You laughed when she told you about the time he scared Twilight when she took a bath back at Pinkie's place.
>You were amazed when she told you about the time he and the rest of the girls pets saved the town from a siren.
>It somewhat reminded you of your own pet.
>Oh hell.
>You haven't thought about her in years.
>"Anon, why are you crying?"
>You're surprised by the question. You feel your cheeks. Sure enough, tears are rolling down your face.
"I was just... thinking about a cat I had a long time ago."
>She seems interested. "What was her name?"
"Misfortune."
>She giggles. "That's a silly name for cat, Anon."
>You giggle as well.
"Yeah, I guess it is."
>"What was she like?"
"She was very friendly. She would always hop up into my lap, even if I was doing something important."
>Like playing video games. Or fapping.
"The instant you started to scratch her head, she'd start purring, and rub against your hand She would always fall asleep in my lap. It made me feel bad when I had to get up.
>She giggles again.
"Then, one day, me and my parents had to move. They said I couldn't take her with me. So we just..."
>You start to choke.
"...Left her there.
>Pinkie gasps slightly.
"For the longest time, I was depressed, but after a while, it just left my mind."
>Suddenly, Pinkie hugs you.
>"I'm so sorry you had to go through that Anon."
>You feel her tears on your back.
>You hug her back.
"No Pinkie, I'm sorry. This happened years ago, and you just lost Gummy today. I feel selfish."
>"How about we both feel sorry? Would that help?"
>You start laughing.
>There's the old Pinkie.
"Sure."
>You stop hugging each other.
"How're you feeling?"
>She smiles. "A lot better. Thank you Anon."
"Anytime Pinkie."
