The MLP community has been a great source of happiness and joy. These stories are my attempt to give something back to those who have so enriched my life.

Octavia made a promise to Pinkie Pie – not just any promise, but a solemn Pinkie promise. Unfortunately for Octavia, she then became busy and forgot all about it. Her grim failure didn’t even register until the pink nightmare came to find her.

Octavia deeply regretted her mistake, but by then it was too late. It was only a matter of time – because no one can hide from Pinkie for very long.

Okay not gonna lie, you fooled me with this story, bravo my friend, bravo on a good story!

I am usually ok with people using my pictures for there stories, but still it would be nice if I was asked first.

I'm very sorry - I'm not on DeviantArt and I didn't know you were here. I've removed the image. Once again, I apologize.

Thank you very much! :pinkiehappy:

7777460 You dont have to remove it, just ask next time :ajsmug:

7777469 no problem! It was a really good story!

7777460 I probably would have liked it more as a comedy than this

7777479

Thanks. Once again, I do apologize. (It's a great picture, by the way! You definitely have artistic talent. I was impressed with it.)

1....2......Pinkamena's coming for you......

This story gave me a lot of trouble. I wrote it two months ago and then let it sit while I tried to figure out how to end it. I eventually picked an ending that I thought made the most sense for Pinkie's character.

I wasn't sure if posting the story was a good idea; sometimes I write stories and then don't post them because I'm not sure how they will go over. A comedy would have been a great way to handle this idea but it honestly never occurred to me. It's definitely something to think about for future stories.

So I'm assuming Pinkie wrote her note to Octavia on the pink balloon at the concert?

7777625 when I tapped on this I thought it was a comedy

Kind'a saw the ending coming, but still amusing :twilightsmile:

I really thought this might go another way...

1....2......Pinkamena's coming for you......

Now there is a frightening thought!

So I'm assuming Pinkie wrote her note to Octavia on the pink balloon at the concert?

That is exactly why you should read balloons instead of running from them. What kind of a crazy pony runs from a balloon?

7777722

I really thought this might go another way...

It came very close to being a completely different type of story. In the original version Pinkie was every bit the monster Octavia thought, and Octavia did not survive. The problem was I just couldn't believe Pinkie would hurt anypony intentionally, no matter what; it just wasn't believable (to me, anyway). So I changed it.

Short, well written, an unexpected yet welcome twist at the end.

This story set out to accomplish one thing, and it succeeded if you ask me.

everypony knows you can't hide from the Cupcake Killer:pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

7777837

Thank you very much! That's very gratifying.

7777816 Honestly I doubt she would hurt anyone. She didn't Applejack afterall. She would just be super annoying and possibly toss a pony through the magic mirror to the human world.

I thought the story would end either after Octavia jumped out the window and died, or pinkie stabbed her to death. I'm glad I was wrong

Cute little story. I can't say I was shocked by the ending, as it is so very Ponk (though I would have been just as satisfied with your scrapped plan, because I love Pinkamena).

However, crippled 'Tavi makes me sad. :fluttershysad:

She would just be super annoying and possibly toss a pony through the magic mirror to the human world.

I could totally see her doing that! In some ways Pinkie has a fair amount of Discord in her.

7778247

I'm glad I was wrong

I just couldn't believe Pinkie would do something like that - even at her worst she's just not that kind of pony. Plus, Octavia is an earth pony, so she's pretty sturdy. She'll be fine - and maybe she'll learn something from this experience...

7778566

However, crippled 'Tavi makes me sad

I hear you. At least she'll make a full recovery - and, apparently, magically acquire some violin-playing skills as well. I'm also sure that Pinkie will visit her while she recovers and teach her the valuable lesson that balloons are friends, not foes.

7779519 then again, Applejack didn't suffer any consequences for breaking a promise...

I feel like a terrible person because the ending made me laugh when I found out what was really going on. Oh I am terrible. XD

This is hillarious, in a pink kind of way.
While the story could take a once over to check you have everything just right?
You don't want to spoil the story with the annoyance or confusion of technical isses, right?

7777816
Maybe you should salvage that part, but make the chace loner to saviour the thrill of the fear?

7779527
Will you write the ending where Octavia dies as a separate chapter and ending? I just reread this story three times! :twilightblush:

The balance of this story was perfect for the ending.

Like, it's obvious Octavia is terrified and it definitely is creepy seeing the events from her perspective, the story a wonderful tension at the beginning. :pinkiecrazy:

Each time she called Pinkie "the Nightmare" or "the Pink one" the story felt a little less tense. :applejackunsure:

When she called Pinkie "one of the most powerful forces in Equestria" I couldn't help but giggle. :pinkiegasp:

Finally, with "I can’t believe it. She’s going to kill me with my own cello case. How did it come to this?" all remaining tension the story had snapped at once and I spent a good minute dying of laughter. :facehoof::rainbowlaugh::trollestia:

Don't know if I've ever seen a story that started out so creepy ramp up so well into a comedic ending. :moustache:

Poor soul, she was just too high strung.
