Sweet little origin story for why Maud would have a pet rock (apart from the thoroughly established fact that she's really into rocks). It fits very well with Maud keeping all of Pinkie's candy necklaces even though she doesn't like candy. Nice work!
I shall read this now, but I have 2 comments just from reading the description:
If you shave off 6 words, you can have the wordcount be the registrynumber of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701
Her name is Pinkamena Diane Pie.
Now, I read.
This is a nice story. It is the perfect example of Slice-of-Life.
Is it me, or is there no tree for the cover art?

There are, they're just small compared to the rocks. There's two on (or behind, it's kinda hard to tell) the big rock on the left.
awwwwww my feeeeeeels ahhh its so cute i dont even
This was very sweet. My favorite of your stories so far, I think; if only because it reminds me of my sister.
Got directed here by the angels, and glad for it. Lovely story, thought you got the tone of pre-rainboom Pinky just right, and the interplay between her and Maud reminded me of some of my own childhood interactions with my siblings. Great work.
Absolutely lovely! You got the sibling interaction so right, and it brought back memories of my own childhood in a big family.
The prose is so spare, and so natural, that one wonders afterwards how it could be so eloquent. It conjures up scenes, characters, events and emotions that are subtle, complex and profound, all without on obtruding itself upon the story.
It's like a soufflé: put together from a few simple ingredients by a deft and practiced hand that presents us with something sweetly perfect, and perfectly sweet.
This is really sweet. I'm glad I read this.
This looks like it could be a cover illo for your story! It's by "DennyButt" over on DeviantArt

Nice. I lfoved this.
I was not expecting to get as emotional as I did over the end of this story. Maud is my absolute favorite, and you made even her pet rock into something sweet and loving. Seriously, beautiful!
