"When She Smiles"
She's loud and annoying
Her attention can be cloying
She talks for way too long
And her laugh is all wrong
And you just wish she'd go away
She gets in your personal space
Doesn't understand time and place
Her randomness can irk
And though you feel like a jerk
You just wish she'd go away
But then she smiles
And it's like a sunrise
Yeah, then she smiles at you
With big blue eyes
And when she smiles
She is perfection
Yeah, when she smiles
In your direction
You wish she'd stay
You wish she'd stay
You wish she'd stay
She gives you stupid nicknames
But she's always glad you came
To visit her at her bakery shop
And you feel like you've lost the plot
And you just wish that you'd stayed away
But then she smiles
And it's like a sunrise
Yeah, then she smiles at you
With big blue eyes
And when she smiles
She is perfection
Yeah, when she smiles
In your direction
You wish she'd stay
You wish she'd stay
You wish she'd stay
And then there was that moment
In a desert so far from home
You were both surrounded
Enemies on the roam
You said you'd hold them back
You told her to go
But she didn't listen
To your cries, oh, no
She refused to leave
Despite the price she'd pay
She stood right by your side
Yeah, she stood there and stayed
She thinks you're something special
And you'd go through your own hell
Just to prove that you're the star
That she seems to think you are
So she won't want to go away
And then she smiles
And it's like a sunrise
Yeah, then she smiles at you
With big blue eyes
And when she smiles
She is perfection
Yeah, when she smiles
In your direction
You hope she stays
You hope she stays
You hope she stays
And when she smiles
You ask her to stay.

Author's Notes: These are song lyrics, and I've used the song in a Rainbow Pie music vid I've uploaded to my YouTube account. If you'd like, you can hear my terrible singing and marginally less terrible guitar-playing at http://youtu.be/yeV0WVq-Lv0.
ok sir, we will be waiting
Very heartwarming indeed
I want to know what desert they were in that was life threatening! Write that!
Onto that song.
Ok, now that I watched the song I feel dumb. Never mind(unless you're up for writing a much more *dangerous* desert for them to be trapped in).
Well... What an... uh... interesting? Different? Unique? Uhh... thing? text? lyric?
Damn. Just... damn. This whole story has been so much more beautiful then I ever could have hoped for - and it just keeps getting better.
I have to say, however, that I am now absolutely terrified of each and every upcoming chapter. Not only do I dread the day when we must inevitably return to the hilltop where the cold wind sighs, I outright fear to learn when and where the survivors are ultimately laid to rest.

Truly a majestic and touching work, bravo.

Don't feel dumb! It wasn't obvious from the song lyrics alone. I might write an intra-episode story about their time in the desert at some point--they ended up being just fine, but before Spike appeared to reassure them, it must have been pretty scary for them, I'd imagine.

Ha! They're song lyrics. And yeah, this collection is rather eclectic and hodge podge. I'm kinda just playing around here, trying a bunch of different things on, just for kicks. Unfortunately, I think that means there's been some unevenness of quality. Sorry about that.

Thank you very much! To be clear, each chapter is a stand-alone--though if you can craft a coherent timeline using all ten pieces, I doff my cap to you in awe and wonder. Also, I'm going to try to steer things a bit more towards the fluffier end of the spectrum, as this series has been a bit more sturm und drang than I imagined it would be.
Really? I thought it was a real effort to use the fractured, non-linear storyline method, e.g., B to Y to C to X to D to E to A to Z (or the slightly happier Z to A finish). Mayhap I have been inferring my own timeline to it, but it works either way! :D
Sturm und Drang ist nicht immer böse, aber nur meistens. ;) Yet a softer bent would be less of an emotional roller-coaster. (It doesn't help that I am a hopelessly-addicted Pinkamena/Pinkie Pie fanatic, with PinkieDash being my favorite ship for her.) Regardless, this has had both fan-emotional value and genuine literary value (even if unintentional), and I look forward to every bit of it.

Alas, no, it's not. Though I really do like non-linear story-telling as a literary technique, and I really OUGHT to do a story using that. Feel free to infere your own timeline, though, if you'd like! (I think almost all of the pieces can be made to fit--I think it's mostly just "But Where Do They Bury the Survivors?" that makes it difficult.)
I rather liked your singing, sir.
Better than mine.
