"Oh my goodnes! Why would you do something like that? My ears are hurting really bad from your scream!" said a rough voice, probably originating from the creature that followed her and is now holding her up against the door.
"Who are you?" said Fluttershy, "I don't know you."
"Well of course you do, stupid. It's me, Pinky Pie!" said the creature, which turns out to be Pinky Pie.
"Then why the hay did you follow me and scare me like that? And also, why is your voice so weird?" asked Fluttershy.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. By the way, I'm a bit ill, which is the reason my voice sounds so, ummmmmm, hoarse" replied Pinky Pie.
"But why didn't you tell me it was you?" asked Fluttershy, "And why was there this sound of metal clinging on stone?"
"Well, I wanted to go easy on my throat, because talking can really hurt with my sore throat and shouting is even worse for my throat." replied Pinky Pie, "Oh, and that sound of metal clinging on stone are my new horseshoes I wanted to show you, that's also the reason I followed you."
"Oh, Ok, well then, show me your new horseshoes." suggested Fluttershy.
"Oh, sure. Should we maybe go inside? Or don't you want me inside your house?" said Pinky Pie.
"Sure," said Fluttershy, "I'll get us some more Hard Apple Cider to calm down... It has been a very, let's call it: Interesting day..."
"What do you mean with: Some more?" asked Pinky Pie, "You weren't drinking, where you?!"
"Well, Rainbow Dash gave me some, to calm down. You must know, I had a very bad dream, which turned out to be a true event, which has happened some time ago. It involed some ponies disappearing, in a far away place, or at least that's what is assumed..." admitted Fluttershy.
"You're not talking about the incident with the Portal..." said Pinky Pie, lowering her voice, so it sounded even darker, "That was the most terrible incident, that has ever happened in Equestria."
"Honestly, that is exactly the incident I'm talking about." conceded Fluttershy, "But let's better get inside, it's already dark and we've been talking out here for a while now and it could get dangerous."
"Oh don't be ridiculous, although it would be nice to go inside now." said Pinky Pie.
The two ponies went inside, closing the door behind them. However, Fluttershy thought, that she had seen a shadow hushing through the foliage under the big Oak Tree on the other side of the pathway. But, she thought to herself, that it was just her imagination, that plays a trick on her, due to the events that had happened during the day, thus she just closed the door.
As she went back inside, they had a long talk about the incident with the portal, however not getting to any conclusions, she took a look at the new horseshoes of Pinky Pie, went to the kitchen to get two mugs of Hard Apple Cider and said goodbye to Pinky Pie: "So, it has been a very long day for me and I think that I should go to bed now and get some sleep, to be fit for tomorrow."
"If you say so," said Pinky Pie, "But please be up early tomorrow, because I still have to go Applejack's farm, to get some more Apple's for my home-made Apple Cider, which you should try sometime. Before you even get the idea to ask why you should be up early, is because I want to check up on you, to see that you're Ok."
"Ok, I hope that I can get some good sleep tonight, so that I can be up early tomorrow. When you're here tomorrow morning, feel free to just open the door and get inside. As you may know, my door is never locked." said Fluttershy.
"Will do, will do." said Pinky Pie, sounding more cheered up now.
Pinky Pie and Fluttershy said goodbye to each other, Pinky Pie left and Fluttershy got ready for bed and lay down. She was so tired from all the events, that had happened on that day, that she instantly fell asleep.
