"The Pink Theory."

by PrincessLunas Assistant


7. Three words.

"AHHHHHHH!" Nate screamed in blood-churning horror. In the bedroom where Pinkie was making her bed, it sounded as if Nate was having his intestines ripped out while his skull was being cracked with a tea spoon. She dropped the pink-silky sheet on her bed and galloped out into the main room. She looked to kitchen and then heard another blood-chilling scream from her left towards the couch. She spotted Nate, he had his back to her and turned around to look at her. He was holding his nose up and screaming "Get it off! Get it off!".

Pinkie laughed as she saw the little green alligator gripped tightly on his nose. She dropped down onto the floor and rolled onto her back laughing.

"Not funny!" Nate shouted in a nasally voice as the tooth-less alligator gummed his nose.

"Don't worry, silly god, that's just Gummy! He gums me all the time, silly!" Pinkie said from her position on the blue carpet.

Gummy released Nate's nose and walked over to Pinkie, biting into her mane and now not letting go of her. Nate felt his nose with his hooves. When he was satisfied that his muzzle was intact he looked at Pinkie as she stood up with Gummy attempting to bite her mane and holding on with his biting strength. "Little bugger scared me!" Nate said pointing at Gummy.

"The big bad god scared by a little alligator?" Pinkie teased pointing at Gummy with one hoof. She giggled and then full out laughed.

"Well even gods can be scared by little things. For example: one time a few years back I fell into a black hole and got so frightened, because if light can't escape those suckers what chance have I got!? I ended up digging through the fabric of space with a shovel into my sister's dimension and turning up as radiation being spit out of a black hole." As Nate told the story he took noticed of Pinkie's attentive stare. Gummy let go at the part of the story involving the shovel. Then quickly scurried off to the bathroom.

Nate smiled at Pinkie's attentive stare. "How did you break the fabric of space with a shovel?" She asked.

"I didn't 'break' it. I dug through it." Nate clarified. "You can do it with any shovel really. Just you need to be inside of a black hole. The pressure of gravity inside those things causes space to become about like dirt."

"Cool!" Pinkie said clapping her fore hooves together in excitement. Nate smiled at her enthusiasm and leaned forward to kiss her. Pinkie leaned in as well and their lips met midway through both of their leans. Nate closed his eyes as he kissed the pony, but opened them and saw a very wide-eyed Pinkie. Pinkie broke away from him and asked. "Why do you close your eyes when we kiss?"

"I dunno. From my travels on Earth I found out it was sorta standard practice." Nate said rubbing the back of his neck with one hoof.

A few minutes later, Pinkie and Nate received a letter from Princess Celestia. The mail mare was a little off and gave them a few packages that were not theirs before she actually them the letter. Nate spawned a muffin as a reward and sent her off. Then he read it silently while Pinkie looked over his shoulder.

Dear, Nate.

I would like for you to come meet me in Canterlot. I've a matter on my hooves I wish for you to assist me with. It is a matter of the utmost importance. Twilight will be coming, Pinkie can come as well. I can send for a carriage to pick you up or you can board a train at your own convenience, just please be at Canterlot in at least three days.

Sincerely
-Princess Celestia.

Nate held the letter in front of him and as he finished reading it his brow scrunched at the term "three days".

"She's giving me three days to get to Canterlot?" Nate stated. He took a step out of of Sugar Cube corner and look up at Canterlot. "I could get there in about 12 hours or so."

Pinkie looked at him with a look of concern and confusion. "How?"

Nate's horn pulled a picture out of his mane. Then held it before Pinkie's muzzle so she could see it. He grinned a sly grin as she examined the photograph.

"What is that?" She asked as she looked at the strange photo. "And what are those ugly things in the background?"

"Two words. Buick. Super." Nate whispered in her ear. "Oh and a third bonus word: Humans."

This was the photo...


The photo burst into the flames and the ashes flew away and into a dirt road clearing in front of Sugar cube corner. They began to form four different piles in a spread out rectangular formation. Soon the piles condensed and raised up, forming flat circles. Then a large rectangular body formed and the ashes went up from there forming the body of the car. Within two minutes the large General Motors car was formed and ready to be driven. The car was a very large outlandish machine from the perspective of the ponies that passed it by on the road. With its smooth metal and chrome and classy jet-black paint job it could have been a robotic grim reaper for all they knew. The inside was a visible from the outside through its barely tinted windows. The inside had stainless steel buttons and knobs and a brown-painted radio with black knobs and switches. The steering wheel was painted in many shades brown to look like old wood.

"Nate?" Pinkie called out as he walked towards the car.

"Yeah, dear?" He called back turning his head to look at her.

She smiled at him. "Can I use it?"

"Are you asking me if you can drive?"

"Of course"
