//------------------------------// // 15. Age. // Story: "The Pink Theory." // by PrincessLunas Assistant //------------------------------// Nate toweled Pinkie off and she did the same to him. When both parties were satisfied and concluded the other was dry enough, the two exchanged a passionate kiss. "Silly-bean?" PInkie asked as she finished drying off while sitting on a towel. "Yeah?" Nate responded as he straightened out his mane next to her. "In the lake.......you said you love me?" Pinkie asked. The two of them met eyes, Nate was smiling politely at her. "I had a tiney weeny bit of water and hair in my ears." "Oh then you didn't hear me. I'll repeat it. I, Nate the pans-dimensional god, love you, Pinkie Pie the pink pony." Nate said in a calm voice as he stroked her cheek with his hoof. Pinkie nearly burst into tears as she pounced on Nate. Forcing him down onto his back with her weight she began to kiss and lick his face. "I la-la-la-la-looooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeee yooooooooooouuuuuuuuu toooooooooo!" She shouted into his ear as she kissed his face. Nate winched as she screamed into his ear, he wrapped his hooves around her and tried to hold her still. They laughed as they lightly wrestled each other, Nate trying to hold Pinkie still and Pinkie trying to keep moving. _______________________________________ Princess Luna paced back and forth in Celestia's office. "I'm just not sure what I should do." "This is quite the predicament." Celestia agreed nodding as she wrote on a note pad at her desk. "If what you suspect is true then maybe you should tell Nate of this......development. I'm preparing a roster of all the Canterlot staff for him. Once I'm finished with this, maybe you could visit Ponyvile and tell him and deliver the roster." Celestia turned a page in the notepad and continued writing. Luna stopped and looked at her sister. "I just can't believe this." Celestia looked up from her notes. "Indeed. Three days, dear. Then you may go to Ponyvile." _______________________________________ Nate and Pinkie were walking past many trees and bushes on their way back into town. With a fire for one another burning in their hearts. They both felt inseparable, Nate smiled as he looked back upon his good luck. He hummed a light tune as he and Pinkie walked together. "What song is that?" Pinkie asked. "I'm not sure, just started humming something that came into my head. I think it's by Dean Martin." Nate said, then resumed humming the tune. "Ohhhh is he the human you told me about the one that was on a trek through the stars?" Pinkie said putting a hoof to her chin. "No. I think that was either Will Wheaton or Patrick Stewart." Nate corrected. "They were, as humans say: actors. Dean Martin was a musician." Pinkie nodded as Nate began to explain a bit of Dean Martin's life and how he began playing certain types of music. She seemed rather enthusiastic whenever Nate told her of the human's and their odd world. Her enthusiasm gave him some inner satisfaction; it made explaining things to her fun and easy. It was like being a teacher and having the perfect student. He smiled as he concluded his explanation on the music of Dean Martin. Pinkie and Nate kept walking along the road, occasionally a cart would pass, but it was usually a ghost road, otherwise. They enjoyed the slight solitude of the empty road, conversation only switched topics whenever a dusty old carriage happen to be coming by. Nate would continue his humming in moments of complete silence. Pinkie would start a tune of her own, maybe close her eyes as she hummed and bounce up the road at Nate's side. After a few minutes Nate would begin to question how she was able to bounce like for long periods of time without causing injury to her hooves, but then concluded that maybe he didn't know enough about pony anatomy. "Can I ask how old you are?" Pinkie asked. "I'm not sure if we've been on this topic or not." "I'm about three and a half trillion years old. I'm older than this universe, the one before it, and the one before that by about three times the total sum of all their ages. Besides this one is still young it's only what.....fourteen billion years old? It still has most of its stars, you should see a universe when it collides with another. Very pretty." Nate explained as he remembered his youth and remembered watching two of the largest black hole filled universes collide into this one. "Did you say trillion?" Pinkie said looking at him in surprise. "Yeah. I'm three trillion, four hundred and fifty seven billion, nine hundred and thirty nine million, two hundred and three thousand, six hundred and twelve. Simple." Nate said "My birthday is December twenty fifth. If you ever throw me a party you'll need more candles than you have in existence." Pinkie giggled. "I think your older than Celestia!" "Probably. She's a new being in this world. A demi god of some sort that happen to form with this universe. I'm don't have a full knowledge of her history so since she has only existed in this universe, I can assume she is either fourteen billion or about three billion. Fourteen billion if she doesn't need oxygen and formed with this universe. three billion if she needs oxygen I suppose. If I had to guess I'd say the one billion mark would be about the time the atmosphere formed. Although I could be wrong about that, it might be closer to two billion." "Oooooh cool!" Pinkie said bouncing along at Nate's side. "
