> Picnic for two > by Krokorokok > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a lovely afternoon in Ponyville and the sun was bight up in the sky. The denizens of Ponyville were going about their average routines, either serving customers or a gathering amongst friends. However, in a bakery known as Sugarcube Corner, for one pink party planner, that day meant both of those things. "Okie dokie! One pink frosted dark forest cake with dark chocolate and two vanilla shakes! Coming right up!" the pink pony said with a cheerful smile on her face. For everypony living in Ponyville, she was known as the 'Greatest Party Planner ever' as well as the 'most random pony'. However, to her friends, she is simply known as Pinkamena Diane Pie, or Pinkie Pie for short. A lovely pink fur coated mare with a daker shade of pink for her frizzy mane and tail, not to mention being the most bubbliest and energetic pony that may have ever lived. Humming to herself, she went back to the kitchen where her two landlords, Mr and Mrs Cakes, were going around the kitchen baking a variety of sweet confectioneries. Mrs Cake was putting on the few touches on a vanilla sponge cake while Mr Cake was placing a tray of chocolate chip cookie into the oven. Smiling to herself, she went up to the two. "Hi Mr and Mrs Cakes! We have another order!" Pinkie said jumping up and down. Cup Cake turned around and giggled at the sight of Pinkie jumping on the spot. "Alright deary. Oh! And the cupcakes are done now! Better take them to their rightful owners before they go bad" she said with a chuckle, causing Carrot Cake to laugh. Pinkie merely giggled, grabbing the tray full of cupcakes before leaving the kitchen, on her way to the table of ponies who ordered them. Once there, she placed the tray down onto the table and smile. "Here ya go!" she cheerfully stated before bouncing back behind the counter. She then surveyed the room and smiled. Besides a couple who had ordered the cake and shakes a while ago, everypony else had been served for. And thankfully, she thought, it was one of her slow days. Suddenly, the door opened, causing the bell to jingle, catching the attention of Pinkie. Stepping into the room, was an odd creature. He was wearing a pair of black pants with a white button up shirt, his green hair slightly messy and his emerald irises scanned the room, a pearly white smile evident on his face. His name; Anonymous Unknown. A human who came from a different world. And more importantly. He was one of Pinkie's best friends. Pinkie's bestest and only alien friend, as a matter of fact. "NONNY!!!" Pinkie yelled his nickname out loud, zooming past the room and colliding with his chest like a bullet. A pink, cute and fluffy bullet. "Gah!" was the only thing he managed to say before he was sent rocketing through the door, tumbling down the road as many ponies look at him with a small chuckle. After a while, Anonymous managed to find his back against a sign post with a pink pony in his arms, smiling in content as she nuzzled his chest. You see, one of his weaknesses was cute things. And the fact that he was in a world full of multi-colored marshmallow ponies, whom all looked so freaking adorable, it was hard to find himself being angry at any of them. Especially to his first best friend. Sighing to himself, he tried to move his arms, only to find them being constrained by the pink pony's forelegs. "Pinkie...can you get off of me please?" He asked, causing Pinkie to look up at him and thought. "Hmmm...." she said with a thoughtful look. "How about no?" She asked, placing her muzzle against his chest, once again nuzzling him with a smile. Thankfully for Anonymous, his arms were not being constrained, meaning that he was able to use his secret weapon against her. His fingers. Placing a hand on the back of her head, he then began to scratch her behind her ears, causing her ears to twitch as her left hind leg began to thump on the ground rapidly, making purring noises. Cutely I may add. "Nonny..." Pinkie moaned, looking up at him with puppy dog eyes as she pouted. "That's mean!" She said, lightly hitting his chest with her forelegs. Anon merely smiled. "What? I don't see anything wrong with it. Besides, you like it" he said, still scratching behind her ears. "Curse you writer!! CURSE YOU!!" Pinkie yelled into the sky, bring a hoof up threateningly. (.....Well screw you too princess!) "Uh...Are you ok Pinkie?" Anon asked, one of his eyebrows raised. Pinkie then went back to her usual bubbly state, as if what she did had never happened. "Yup!". Suddenly, she jumped into the air and gasped, seemingly defying gravity as she stayed in the air for a moment before landing on all her fours. "Oh my gosh! I forgot! I have an order! I'll be right back Nonny!" She yelled out loud, zooming past the ponies in her way before arriving back at Sugarcube Corner. Anonymous chuckled, getting up and dusting off his shirt and pants before walking back to the building. It was rather odd of how he came to Equestria. Even more so when he first arrived in this world full of magic, rainbows and magical rainbows and friendship. He could still faintly remember how he had first met the locals. That pony being Pinkie Pie. He still couldn't understand how that mare could defy and break all logic, but he gave up trying to comprehend it long ago. Twilight told him it would do his mind a lot of good. Walking back inside the building, a pink blur whizzed past him, nearly sending him backwards. "Here ya go! Thanks of waiting!" He heard her bubbly voice say. Two ponies them walked by him, flashing him with a smile, to which he smiled back. With that, he faced the front once again, only to find himself seeing nothing but pink, as a pink pony with baby blue eyes stared at him. He chuckled at her, pushing her off of him as we made his way to one of the tables, sitting on one of the chairs. Pinkie then sat next to him, placing her head on one of his hands that was on the table. "Hehehe! So! Remember that small picnic we planned?" Pinkie asked with a sweet smile. Anon's eyes then bulged. He couldn't have forgotten that today was that day. "That's today?" .... Never mind that. "Of course silly filly! We planned it like weeks ago. Don't you remember?" Pinkie sat up right on her chair and gave Anon a questioning look. "Erm...No actually. Came here to grab a milkshake actually" Anon admitted with a sheepish smile. Pinkie's smile soon turned into a frown as tears started to pour out of her eyes as her mane deflated. "B-But..! Y-You promised me t-to...spend t-t-time with you..." Pinkie' slips quivered as more tears started falling down. Anon, being the kind human that he is, wen over to her and awkwardly comforted her. "H-Hey! D-Don't worry...Erm...Listen...I go bathe first and then we go. Ok?" He asked, causing Pinkie to look at him with those huge sapphire blue irises. "A-Are you a-sure...?" She asked, sniffing. Anon gave a reassuring smile. "I will. After all, you did say we planned it quite a while back. It's unfair for me to just leave you hanging like that" he said, petting her head in a comforting manner. Then, Pinkie suddenly jumped into the air, her hair inflating back as she gave a huge smile. "Oh thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU NONNY!!" Pinkie exclaimed in delight, giving the human a crushing hug as she landed back onto the floor. Anon let out a wheeze. "P-Pinkie! You're...squeezing..me!" He gasped. Pinkie then eased her grip off of him, smiling once again. "Okie dokie lokie! I'll see you back here at around..." Pinkie turned her head and looked at the nearby wall clock, "...Hmmm. At around 3?" She asked. "Sure. I'll see you later then" Anon got up and dusted himself before leaving. However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Pinkie, who was standing in font of him with a smile, a strawberry milkshake in one of her hoof. "Hey silly! You forgot your milkshake". She then handed him the shake, to which Anon was surprised she managed to finish it and give it to him. But she was Pinkie pie. So it really wasn't that big of a surprise. "I made sure it's super duper sweet! Made it with lots of love~" Pinkie said as she winked at Anon before giggling soon afterwards. "Anyways, I'll see you then Nonny!". And with that, she bounced her way back into the kitchen, leaving a slightly concerned Anonymous with a probable diabetes induced milkshake. Shrugging his shoulders, he left Sugarcube Corner, taking a sip at the shake, causing his eyes to widen. "Damn Pinkie! This is diabetes in a plastic cup!", he exclaimed. But nevertheless, he continued to sip the drink, wondering what she meant by 'Made with lots of love'. +Meanwhile+ Pinkie giggled when she heard what Anon said as he sipped on the drink through the straw. She couldn't help but let out a giggle as Anonymous left the room. He really had no idea what that meant, which was amusing to say the least. She giggled once more before leaving the kitchen and went upstairs, where she would prepare what is needed for the picnic. "Hehehe. This is going to be fun!" Bunny hopping up the flight of stairs, Pinkie hummed a merry tune to herself, excited for her little date picnic with her best friend Anon. Just as she had set foot on the second floor of the building, she looked up and immediately stopped, her eyes dilating into a size of a pinprick. There, on the ceiling, was Pumpkin and Pound, the both of them magically suspended on the ceiling with the help of Pumpkin's magic, evident from her glowing horn. "PUMPKIN! POUND!" Pinkie gasped before jumping on her hind hooves and grabbing the duo. "Don't do that! What would happen if your magic fails?" She asked the little unicorn, who was staring at her with a confused look. "The both of you could get really hurt, you know?" Pumpkin booped Pinkie's nose, making her and her brother laugh. Pinkie giggled at the two before booping their noses as well before setting them down on the floor. "Now behave you two. Aunt Pinkie would be having a picnic with her best friend soon". And with that, the Pound and Pumpkin merely babbled in their baby language before running off back to their room, causing Pinkie to shake her head. "Hey Writter! Can you go end this chapter here?" Pinkie asked the empty room with a smile. (B-But...) "Please...?" Pinkie stared at the ceiling with puppy dog eyes. (....Oh Come on....) (Fine) "Yay! Thanks!" Pinkie said to no pony in particular, bunny hopping back into her room, closing the door with a loud thud.
