//------------------------------// // A Brief Pink Visit // Story: Land of Equines // by Daddy Joe //------------------------------// A Brief Pink Visit November 7th, 2012 The sun was much higher in the sky and was much more warmer out than before, but still had a little chill to the air. I came across the same area where I saw the one stallion walking by himself earlier and more ponies were out and about than before. Their coats and manes came in all different colors. As I looked at them from behind a building, I came up with a radical idea. What would happen if I just walked right in the street casually in front of all these ponies? I was curious to see what would happen, so I decided to act it. And so, I stepped out from behind a building and proceeded to walk forward on the street. As I got closer, I heard one pony say: “Woah, look at that.” a stallion said while pointing his hoof at me. His friend turned his head and looked at me with his mouth dropped. Soon enough, eyeballs were all on me. I heard little whispers from ponies and some actually ran from me even though I was doing nothing threatening. One mare was so shocked, she dropped her basket of flowers which caused them to fall on the ground. I looked over at her and decided to show a kind side to me. I walked over to her and her eyes went wide and her irises shrunk leaving her eyes to almost have a creepy milky white look. When I came up to the basket and flowers, I crouched down to pick up a flower and set it in the basket. I repeated the process with the other flowers and settled them in the basket neatly. Her eyes followed every move my arms made and soon enough, the basket was full again. "I think you dropped your daisies, Miss." I said, kindly. My ability to speak caused the crowd of ponies to gasp in amazement for I could hear them whisper: “It can talk like us?” The mare in front of me still had her mouth slightly open and she managed to quiver out a "Thanks." "No problem." I responded. I turned around to see the crowd of ponies looking at me. I then said one of the greatest words of wisdom to ponykind. "Morning, everybody." I said. I then turned around to walk away. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU SAY EVERYBODY, YOU IDIOT!?" I screamed at myself internally. My face began to burn as I blushed from embarrassment. All I wanted to do was get out of there. I continued to wander throughout more parts of Ponyville and met new ponies along the way. Most reactions were just like the others. Either run away or look at me in shock. Guess I’m gonna have to get used to that. As I got closer, I smelt something good, smelled like…. baked goods. I turned a corner and saw a building with a sign in the ground that stated: “Sugarcube Corner Bakery.” The building reminded me of a gingerbread house due to the outside of the building looking like a giant version of a gingerbread house. The top half part of the door was open while the bottom was closed, signifying that the bakery was open. I walked up to the door and saw a light blue mare with a mane with red and pink stripes. Her eyes widened when she looked at me. "Um, hi. Is the bakery open?" I asked. "Y-yes. Come on in." said the mare. "Hi, my name is Caleb. Are you Pinkie Pie?" I asked. "My name is Cup Cake. Pinkie Pie is in the kitchen at the moment." Cup Cake said. "Oh, my mistake. Can I talk to her, please?" I asked. "Just a moment." Cup Cake said as she entered the kitchen. Moments later, she came back with a pony with a pink coat and a poofy dark raspberry mane. Pinkie sure does live up to her name. “Hi there, my name i--” I was cut off by Pinkie. Without any warning, Pinkie let out this loud gasp and it made me tense up in surprise. After that, she zipped right past me and out the door. I ran towards the door and looked out to see if she was there, but she was nowhere to be seen. "Damn, where did she go?" I asked myself. "What was that all about?" I asked Cup Cake. “That’s just Pinkie being Pinkie. I don’t know that means, but it certainly must mean something important.” Cup Cake said. “Hmmm. Well, maybe I’ll stop by later and see if she’s back later.” I said. "Do whatever you please." Cup Cake replied. "Alright, I guess I'll see you or Pinkie later." I said. "Bye, dearie." Cup Cake farewelled. "That was weird how Pinkie just gasped and zipped away in a flash. These ponies are quite mysterious beings I’ll say. Now all I have to do is find this Twilight Sparkle at the library." I said as I walked away from Sugarcube Corner.
