Pinkie pie was with Applejack one dark evening. It was peaceful and it made her happy to be with the one she cared about most of all. She wished she could spent more days with the mare, but her work has piled up lately and it's been difficult to find the right day to be with AJ. 

"Applejack." Pinkie pie began. Her voice nervous. 

"Yes Pinkie?" The mare asked. Her gaze was focused at the starry night sky. 

How would Pinkie pie be able to tell Applejack how she felt about herself, her friends, the world itself. She couldn't just say she thought society was a cold place, it just wasn't in her nature. 

"Applejack..." Her eyes were watery. 

"Pinkie. What is it?" Applejack turned her attention to the beautiful mare before her. 

"I-I just...." Pinkie pie looked away. She took deep breaths to calm herself. "Never mind. It's silly." She laughed.

"Pinkie..." Applejack could tell from the tone in her voice, that her happy friend was lying to her.

"What's wrong...? Pinkie?" Applejack brought her hoof along the side of Pinkie pie's face and slightly rubbed her hair. 

"It doesn't matter anyways..." She replied as she stood back on all hooves. 

"Pinkie! Wait!" 

Pinkie pie ran away from Sweet Apple Acres. It was nighttime so it would be easier to lose the country mare. 

Within minutes Pinkie pie returned home and slammed the door shut. 
The Cakes and their children luckily hadn't arrived home yet. But that was better for Pinkie pie. Better so she can be all alone, she had gotten so comfortable with this feeling that she didn't think it mattered whether she could spend a night or two with her best friend...
