Ever wondered what a deleted scene looked like? · 12:09am Nov 21st, 2019
“Well”—Pinkie stretched out this word until it was as long as a sentence—“you still gotta say that you’re sorry. That’s just how it is. Even if it doesn’t fix things. It’s how you start, see? Sometimes, sometimes we don’t say we’re sorry… for whatever reason. Sometimes we just expect that we’ll be forgiven. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being a Pie Sister, it’s that we can’t take other ponies for granite. Saying that you’re sorry helps to smooth over hurt feelings.”
“Huh?” Something that Pinkie had said jarred Sundance from his thoughts, but he wasn’t sure what. Just something.
“Oh, I’ve done stupid things that just expected for my sisters to forgive me. Because they’re my sisters. And I didn’t say that I was sorry. That caused a little resentment. It was a big complicated mess, the sort of convoluted mess that seems like it might take forever to fix, but in reality takes about twenty-two minutes to resolve.”
“Twenty-two?” Sundance had no idea what was going on.
The pink Ponk squeezed him, softly, and pulled him close. “You seem a little clueless, Sundance. Do you need for me to slow down and explain things?”
“Uh, maybe?”
“Start with saying that you’re sorry. It might not fix things, but leaves an opening for future dialogue.” Pinkie Pie patted him on the back while her riotous curls boinged about her head like a crown of the curliest chaos. “After that, it is just a matter of hard work to make everything right.”
“I don’t think it will be that easy. Hollyhock is one of my peasants. One of my subjects. And I think she hates me. I’m pretty sure that she does. This doesn’t seem like something that I can fix. It feels very complicated.”
“Sometimes, things can’t be fixed in twenty-two minutes. Every now and then, a really big boo-boo happens. Not a simple screw up, but a big-time blunder. Something that requires both forgiveness and redemption. That might take a whole season. Maybe more.” She rubbed her fuzzy chin with seemed to be a third hoof, because she still had Sundance in a smothering embrace. “If you crammed all of that forgiveness and redemption into twenty-two minutes, or worse, a brief montage, that would just be stupid. So, expect for it to take some time, but you can still sort things out.”
Here you go. A scene that might undergo significant alteration before public release. Not sure how I feel about this one just yet. It feels as though the fourth wall was slipped a roofie.
Yeah, it's a little forced, even for Pinkie.

Well, the for granite felt in character, but I'll take what you have to say into consideration.
well I liked it how it was, so I guess it's pleasant that it'll be like this here
I thought it was rock solid.
I'm of the opinion that when the show has done a joke in canon it's time for the fandom to come up with new material on its own.

I liked that part. I'm just not as comfortable with all the time comparisons to show times. I don't think it's something I've seen you do in your stuff before, but I might just not remember it. I think because the Weedverse is so complex and well crafted that pulling show time comparisons into it feels a little cheap. Just my opinion. Certainly wouldn't make me not read the stuff, it would just be something I kind of ignored.
Pinkie writes herself.
I grinned, and then I chuckled. So hay yeah, glad you shared it.
