Dinky galloped after her friend and as he came closer, she seamed to slow down. She trotted next to his side. "Pip? What's wrong?" Dinky asked politely with a hint of concern. Pipsqueak looked from her to nowhere in particular, than trotted to an empty bench.
"Come sit, Dink. I have to say something" Pip told her, patting his hoof on the empty spot next to him. Accepting his offer, Dinky took his side once more.
"What do you want to say?"
At that moment, Pipsqueak became nervous. He took a deep breath in and then let it out. Then started talking. "You see, I want to help you all I can cause your my friend but compared to Princess Twilight, I cant help one bit. I'm useless now that she is your mentor. I just wish that not only I could help you, but that you could spend more time with me like when we were little." Pipsqueak's expression dimmed.
"Pip...are you jealous of me hanging out with Twilight?!" Dinky looked surprised. "Do...do you like me, Pip?"
Pipsqueak nodded shyly. "I didn't know how to tell you but I guess you've figured out. I just wish I could be there for you more."
A small smile popped onto Dinky's face. She put a hoof on Pipsqueak's back and told him, "but you HAVE been there for me. Just look back to when I was yelling at my mom, as I stomped out, you followed to support me. You also have helped me get this far and got that Changeling off me. In my book, your my hero for keeping me in check" the young filly said, resting her head on Pip's shoulder. Suddenly, Pipsqueak stood up, knocking Dinky's head off his shoulder. "Pip? What's wrong?" she asked once more.
"Look Dink, I dont know how to say this but I dont like you...I...I..." Pipsqueak was cut off by the young filly's lips touching his. She had felt the same way that Pip did obviously. After a few moments, the kiss broke, and they were back in reality.
"You don't have to say anything Pip, I know what you were saying" Dinky practically sang. "Come on! My family tree awaits!" With that, the two then galloped off towards Twilight's Castle, Pipsqueak still happy about the kiss.

"Now," stated Twilight, "Let's find your family scroll." The twosome and the princess looked aimlessly for at least an hour before Pip said.
"I've found it! The Doo family scroll!" Sliding down their ladders, Dinky and Twilight joined the painted colt at a crystal table. "Look at this, ok. So here is Dinky's mom, Ditzy Doo a.k.a. Derpy Hooves, and next to her is...Some stallion named Time Turner." The foals looked at Twilight.
Yeah, I know him. He was here not to long ago looking for...For Derpy!" Twilight realized. "I think I know where he went! Come on you two! Follow me!
