“I did the right thing, didn’t I, Gummy?” Pinkie Pie said between munches of a vanilla cupcake.
The baby alligator looked at his master from deep inside of the large crystal cage he lived in during winter. His large open eyes reflected the orange light of the incandescent light-bulbs
“I mean, Twilight is going to be happy now, and so will AJ…”
Despite what she had said, Pinkie Pie did know why AJ had been so nervous when she came to Sugarcube Corner. She also knew why Twilight had been acting so awkwardly this evening
“She’s gonna be happier than she was with me.”
Gummy blinked, with a speed that would rival Tank.
“Ugh… We’ve been through this already, Gummy,” Pinkie Pie said, looking at her pet alligator with an annoyed look. “Twilight and I broke up because things between us didn’t work, and I accepted that. I cried and cried and cried, but I accepted it.”
Gummy’s left eye opened, slowly.
“But it didn’t, Gummy! It was nice while it lasted, but it’s over now,” Pinkie Pie said, burying her face in her pillows.
Gummy opened his right eye, just as slowly.
“We agreed that it was over, and we agreed to move on,” Pinkie Pie said.
Gummy closed his eyes.
“No, Gummy, I don’t think Twilight came here tonight because she wanted us to get back together, I don’t think she’d do something like that,” Pinkie Pie said as she turned around to face the little alligator.
Pinkie’s eyes moistened, but she didn’t cry.
“I don’t know… Maybe she just wanted to be sure everything was done between us before she moved on,” Pinkie Pie said as she looked through the window at the falling snowflakes.
“That’s a part of my life that has already passed, Gummy, and now,” Pinkie Pie paused as she took a deep breath, “now it’s time I close that chapter and move on.”
She then took another bite off the cupcake she was eating, and she licked the pink and purple frosting from her lips.
