Pinkie Pie went up to her bedroom, feeling flustered. She had so many thoughts rushing through her head; she couldn't think straight. The date just went so… quickly! It felt rushed, and it wasn't exactly a great time, like she had told Cheese Sandwich. She felt like she wasn't welcome at that restaurant. She just felt so awkward as well! Sure, Cheese Sandwich was the greatest colt Pinkie Pie could meet, but know they were in a maybe relationship; Pinkie Pie was scared to tell Cheese Sandwich her true feelings incase she hurt his. She was so confused and mixed up! She felt like she was being FORCED to do this; like somepony was writing out her story on a computer screen. She could tell by the face her date was making at dinner that Cheese felt the same way! Like they were pony puppets on strings. She also didn't feel ready for commitment. She was as silly as a duck doing the gangman style! She didn't feel comfortable with something so… serious. Pinkie Pie felt like she was going to burst into tears! She just wanted peace if mind. She decided to sleep it off. Surely she would be better by morning?
Pinkie Pie stirred her milkshake with a candy cane striped straw; she didn't touch it. Normally she would be gourging herself on sweets and cake! But not today. She couldn't get an ounce of sleep the night before; her mind was rattled with questions and worries. She had no idea what to do.
"Pinkie Pie! You haven't touched your milkshake! You'd usually be on thirds by now." Mrs Cake pointed out, sitting next to the pink pony. Pinkie simply shrugged.
"Pinkie; you're mane's looking alot more… deflated than usual. Is something wrong, sugar?" Mrs Cake asked, slightly worried. Pinkie Pie sighed and a tear rolled down her cheek. Her mind was so cloudy; it made her depressed. The blue mare stood up and went over to her oven. She took out a tray of pink and magenta swirled cupcakes.
"I made these for ya!" Mrs Cake said hopefully. She rang the bell to get Pinkie Pie's attention, but she didn't reply. Pinkie Pie got off the bar stool and went back upstairs, her coat looking a dusty pink colour. Fluttershy timidly trotted through the bakery doors and went up to the counter.
"Umm… Mrs Cake? Do you know where Pinkie is?" She asked softly.
"Ahh yes. She just went upstairs. Do you want to go and see her? She needs a good friend." Mrs Cake answered. She had an uneasy expression on her face which made Fluttershy a little edgy.
"Yes… if that's okay with you." The yellow Pegasus mumbled.
"That's fine; go right ahead!" Mrs Cake said, returning to her baking. Fluttershy tiptoed up the creaky wooden stairs. She pushed Pinkie Pie's bedroom door open slowly, trying not to disturb her friend. Fluttershy gulped and backed away from the door. Pinkie Pie would probably want to be alone if she wasn't skipping outside with a big grin plastered on her face.
"Fluttershy? Don't be scared. It's just good ol' pinks." Pinkie Pie said, for the first time that day.
"Pinkie. Are you okay? Please be honest with me." Fluttershy asked, going up to the deflated pony. Something was wrong with Pinkie Pie; her voice was grumbly, her coat was a much darker shade and her mane was completely flat.
"I don't think it's gonna work with Cheese, Flutters." Pinkie Pie admitted, lying on her bed. She sighed and turned her head to look at the quivering yellow pony.
"It's just this… not- really- kind of- relationship is making my mind so cloudy. I just can't think anymore and it's making me depressed." Pinkie Pie said, finally pouring out her feelings for somepony other than herself and Gummy.
"Well… you could always break it off with him." Fluttershy suggested, sitting on Pinkie's bed. Pinkie Pie stared back as her response.
"You don't have to be isolated from each other. You can still be friends; but this way it doesn't feel so… awkward and official." Fluttershy added, playing with Pinkie's mane. Pinkie Pie's face lit up, she could finally think and her hair poofed up until it was like cotton candy.
"That's the answer! I'm sure Cheese will understand!" Pinkie Pie said. She hugged Fluttershy tightly in return.
She ran downstairs and out the door; leaving Fluttershy in the lonely bedroom.
"Your welcome?"
