"The Pink Theory."

Instead of walking all the way to the Princesses of Equestria, who were supposedly kinda far away in another town, Pinkie took Nate to her home in Ponyvile. She politely fetched a few extra pillows and a large pink cotton blanket for him. She gave him her bed while she went to sleep on her couch. Upon waking up for the first time in the morning, Nate found himself very thirsty. He mentally made a glass of water appear before him out of nothing and was soon drinking it while laying in the quite comfortable lightly colored bed. He stared out the window at the dawn sun and decided he might as well get up and stretch. While he wasn't quite used to a physical body, he did vacation to his twin sister's universe every now and again. She had an obsession with some tall two legged creatures that had just developed space travel on one of her worlds. Funny story, she accidentally made them a few million or so years previous out of smaller hairy animals out of boredom.

As Nate walked about Pinkie's home he noticed that a lot of it bore the color: Pink. He wondered if this was a simple coincidence or if Pinkie had painted her home to match the first four letters of her name. As he went located the small kitchen, he saw Pinkie fumbling about behind a small counter. "Heyyyyy, sleepy-head! Sleep well?"

Nate yawned as he said. "Like I a new-born."

Pinkie smiled at him. "That's Grrrrreat!"

"So....you promised me a Princess today." Nate said recalling their conversation from the previous day.

Pinkie nodded. "While you were beating up the hay, I went to my friend Twilight and she sent a letter to Princess Celestia. I was gonna come and wake you."

"Oki-doki-loki." Nate acknowledged. "Thank you very much. For your service to me, you can have anything you like."

"Hey that's my...! Wait? What do you mean anything?" Pinkie asked, looking at Nate and tilting her head about 45 degrees to her right. She raised an eyebrow and her usual plastered on smile faded slightly.

"Well...as I told you. I'm not from around here. I come from a very....resourceful family." Nate said with a shrug. "Resourceful, in this context, means we're the kind of ponies that can acquire just about anything with a wave of our extremities. I could give you a car or aeroplane if you so desired."

"Ohhhhhh, and huhhhh?" Pinkie said tilting her head further. Hitting the 90 degree mark. Her eye brow nearing her puffy mane.

"Well an aeroplane is something one of my twin sister's creatures decided to create...or was it two of them. I forget, it just kinda flies through the air when fed disgusting blackish liquid. And as for a car, it needs the same liquid gunk, but instead of flying: it simply goes on the land at very fast speeds. I personally never liked the little buggers, but then again, I like civilizations that are in that sort of...barbaric state where they just started forming empires and such. Pretty much like this one, although you ponies are very sophisticated considering the state of your knowledge of the universe. No petty factions or squabbles." Nate explained to Pinkie.

"Where exactly do you come from?" Pinkie asked, her head nearly upside-down at this point. Her neck must've had no bones to speak of.

"I come from nothing. I exist, yet I do not. You could say I go where I please or where I'm needed. Or maintain my distance and observe." Nate said as he generated another glass of water from nothing and began sipping.

Pinkie's eyes widened and her head quickly spun back to it's original position as she watched him sip upon the glass that had not existed until 10 seconds earlier. "How in the wide, wide, wide world of Equestria did you do that?"

"I'm resourceful. Something from nothing, as I've said." Nate said with a shrug. "Now onto your reward. Just name it and I can make it happen."

Pinkie smiled and her eyes left Nate as she thought a second. "I dunno. I need a bit more time." She said with a shrug.

"Fine. Just tell me soon before I forget I owe you something. Remember: anything your heart or mind desires. I'll make it happen within one blink of your pretty little pony eyes." Nate said, now he turned the glass of water into a bowl of sugary flakes in milk with a silver spoon protruding from it.

After a quick breakfast Pinkie and Nate made their way to Twilight's tree-like library. Walking along the little dirt roads that Ponyvile consisted of, the duo made small chat.

"So....any hobbies?" Nate asked, walking to Pinkie's left. He looked over to her and met her excited eyes as she danced and jogged lightly. Seeming to listen to an odd eccentric to song about how good life is and how it should be enjoyed to its fullest...and on how anything with sugar should be devoured on site.

"Ohhh, you know really anything...fun! Swimming, dancing, even watching paint dry as long as I have friends to do it with!" Pinkie said now hopping up and down, keeping forward momentum and keeping in pace with Nate as if she was still walking but constantly changing her Y coordinates on an XYZ grid.

"Huh. You live a very....uhhh....joyful, yeah that word works, a joyful life, eh?" Nate said, trying not to focus on Pinkie's bouncing.

"Eyupppp!" Pinkie squealed out in an excited high pitched tone.

Nate shrugged. "In all my many eons of meeting beings of intelligence, I've never met anything such as you." He said.

"Awwww...thanks! I've never met any-pony as strangely awesome as you!" Pinkie squealed out, stopping Nate with a hoof on his shoulder and then leaning in and giving him a light peck on the cheek with her lips. Nate froze as if he had become a comet with a pause button.
