Something's missing... · 6:30pm Nov 8th, 2012

I feel like there's a bit missing from A crazy good time. I feel as if I didn't delve deep enough into how Pinkie truly reacted. Therefore, I typed a little something up. And since I don't want to go back and edit my story for it, I'm posting it here. It takes place right after Ace and Pinkie talked at the beginning of the story.

Pinkie sat in her room, hugging her pet alligator close to her body. "Oh, Gummy. I feel horrible." She told him, sniffling. "I didn't expect Acey to get that upset. I mean, sure I was angry with him, but I just wanted an explanation. I didn't want him to start crying." Gummy stared blankly off, stroking his mandible across his caretaker's arm as a show of comfort. Pinkie put Gummy down, and got to her hooves. The alligator looked up at her, and blinked his eyes consecutively.

Pinkie began pacing, trying to figure out what just happened. An image made of felt appeared in her head, depicting an angry Pinkie, and a comically sobbing Ace. "And it's not as if he didn't like me anymore. I can tell that he truly cared. I heard it in his voice. He just thinks..." A realization hit her, as the image turned into a closeup of Ace's glum face. "...Oh no. He wants acceptance. He thinks that nopony can ever love him because of his interests." She gasped. "He thinks I don't love him anymore!" Tears welled up in her eyes, as her expression turned crestfallen.

Pinkie realized just how bad he felt about himself, and that in turn made her feel bad about coming off so mean. 'HOW IS THAT NORMAL?!?!' Her own words haunted her, as she came to the conclusion that those words struck him too close to home, and made him feel ashamed to be himself. Suddenly she felt more horrible than she did a minute ago. She forced her eyes closed to try to keep herself from crying, before she stamped a hoof on the ground. "No!" She exclaimed determinedly. "I can't sit around here, moping! I have to make this right! I have to show that I care, too!" She sighed, hoping it wasn't too late, that he'd forgive her for being so mean. Shaking her head, she focused on making preparations for her special show-Acey-that-I-really-do-care-about-him-and-accept-him plan.
