"The Pink Theory."

by PrincessLunas Assistant


9. Cheery Romance.

Aside from a few cuts and scratches on the car's paint, the couple composed of a demoted god and an eccentric pink pony were able to continue with out any difficulty. Now however, after the many near hit and runs by Pinkie, Nate took the wheel. A few miles away from Ponyvile now and traveling at a safe 40 miles per hour. Nate looked down at the radio from his seat at the wheel. "I wonder if Equestria has any radio station..."

He turned the dial with his magical aura until he located a voice through the static. "....and now back to that smashing song our listeners love: Mr. Sandman. By the Chordettes!"

"What the?" Nate said as the 60 year old song began to play. He looked over at Pinkie who had decided to take a nap. She seemed to be dancing along in her sleep. "Huh. I'll be damned. Old car. Old radio station. I suppose that makes sense."

Nate didn't even bother to think of a possible answer for why he was able to pick up a 60 year old radio station from Earth while on Equestria and instead just sung along a bit as he drove up curving roads and hills. Most of his driving was guess work, since the only real ways to and from Canterlot appeared to be a train or wings. He didn't have nor wanted either. He was taking random dirt paths and mentally making a map of it so he could draw it later and have in case if he ever needed to make this journey again. This may seem like a lot of work, but when you have a 5 digit IQ and eidetic memory. It's actually pretty easy. A few more minutes into the drive "Mr. Sandman" ended and was replaced with a song about China men giving up their restaurant and how there would be no more chow mein. Nate had never really cared for Chinese food and from his time on Earth had actually found he preferred pizza.

Steeper hills and light morning frost made Nate aware of his distance from Canterlot. "Can't be far now. Let's see if we can find a nice spot for a picnic."

A few minutes later as the radio began to play "That's Amore" he had found a nice some-what flattened area with a few tall trees and a good span of grass. He parked beneath a large oak tree and put the car in park. He turned on his seat and put a hoof on Pinkie. Giving her a light shake, she awoke after a few second. Blinking away her sleep and looking about expecting to see Canterlot she asked. "What happened to Canterlot?" She said rubbing her eyes and taking her head off the passenger door window.

"We're not there yet. I told you it would be fun to have a picnic so here we are." Nate said as he opened his door. "Come on. Its about eleven in the morning. I'm a tad hungry."

Nate stepped out of the car and stretched his legs as magically controlled picnic supplies floated from the now open trunk and onto a nice spot right in the shade beneath the taller of the Oak trees. It was the stereotypical items. Wicker basket, plaid blanket, and something not so stereotypical a wine bottle and glasses. The blanket was flattened out, and napkins came out of the wicker basket. Two of them un-folded and revealed hay-wiches. The others stayed folded up tightly so they could be unfolded for self-cleaning. The wine took its place on a very flat nearby rock that protruded from the grass. The wine glasses sat there next it on either side.

As Pinkie got from the car. She smiled as Nate sat down on the plaid blanket and gestured for her to sit across from him on the other side of the hay-wiches. She happily trotted over and sat laid down on her belly and gave Nate a "Come hither" gaze.

Nate didn't catch it at first because he was pre-occupied with pouring wine. As he sipped on his glass he looked at Pinkie and nearly choked on it as he caught her gaze. "Are *cough* are you okay?"

"Of course, silly." Pinkie said in a seductive whisper. "I'm trying to seduce you, silly bean."

"Oh...ohhhhhhh!" Nate exclaimed. He panicked slightly then leaned across the hay-wiches and kissed Pinkie's lips. He felt a sugary tasting tongue enter his mouth. He felt one of Pinkie's fore hooves wrap around the back of his head and pull him closer. Driving her tongue deeper. A song came from the radio in the car. It was quite a cheery little tune that Pinkie found quite alluring. She stood up and began to dance.

"Come on, silly bean! Dance with me!" She called out to Nate as she danced closer to the car.

Nate got up. "Alright, but the last time I danced, I was human."

He and Pinkie started dancing separately but eventually got up on their rear hooves and danced sorta like humans in a romantic fashion. Sharing laughs as Nate tried to replicate a human dancing style Pinkie, whispering in her ear what he was going to do. He dipped her from time to time, taking her off her rear hooves and having to use a bit of magic to keep her from tumbling to the dirt since hooves couldn't quite grip very well. Nate gave Pinkie a few twirls and even at one point was able to pick her up in a bear hug-like fashion. As they reached the mid point of the song, both had worked up a bit of a sweat but didn't notice since they were just having a blast dancing like fools with each other.

Pinkie laughed with the silly god as they danced in cheery romance to "Rock around the clock"
