Pinkis grumbled all the way as she walked with Lauren and the others around the park. She was currently in her Equestria Girl form. She decided to take them out for a walk so they could get some fresh air. She learned that Pony Freaks were night-crawlers so she decided to let them walk with her while it was dusk. She didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable. Taking baby steps, it was best to walk with them at night rather than day to avoid overwhelming them.
Each wore a Tracking collar given by the doctors so as to avoid any of them from going too far away from her. Lauren didn’t want to put them on them, but she had no choice. Applepills, Rarifruit, and Rainbine were pretty much okay, so long as they get to stretch their legs, and wings, for a bit. Brutalight, Fluttershout, and Pinkis were on different terms. They just wanted to get it off so they could roam on their own and cause chaos again.
At one point, Lauren though they all looked rather worn down so she decided to let them have a little fun at the biking area. It took some convincing back with the bikers, but they finally agreed to do it. Each bike could only hold two to three passengers at a time, plus the driver. Lauren had decided to pair up the ones who are fine now with those she still needs to make amends with. Pinkis was paired with Rarifruit and Arctic. Applepills and Fluttershout were in the same bike with Thunder. Then, she put herself with Brutalight and Rainbine.
Pinkis just waited out the entire bike thing with Rarifruit. The mare had been trying to get her to enjoy the feeling of bike riding, but she wasn’t budging. She was a full-grown mare, not a foal! Finally, she saw an opportunity. Being a cannibal, she had to have the perfect senses for a predator. And one of those senses includes a sharp eye. She noticed that at one point, sometimes the bikes would be far apart from each other. She took notice at the different angles, and timings. She had to make this right. Once the time is ripe, she would leap out with Rarifruit and run as fast as she can, biting the collar off to stop. The others could wait, and so could getting her mom back.
Finally, she saw the opportunity and leapt out of the bike with Rarifruit. This alarmed both the biker and the others. Using all the energy in her legs, she used her Speedy Crawl to move both herself and Rarifruit away from the site. She heard her friends and Lauren calling her name, but she didn’t care. She wanted to get away.
She finally did. And she managed to get away by running to a nearby dumpster. It wasn’t an ideal place, but it was still better than being fondled and cooed over by Lauren. She was already exhausted from running, especially since she was dragging Rarifruit with her. She ran in one of the old cars and closed the door behind her. She took deep breaths to recover herself.
“Pinkis, what is wrong with you?” Rarifruit yelled at her daughter.
“I…just…don’t want…to be…with her…” she panted, but she still had anger in her tone.
“But Pinkis, she’s so kind to us. She feeds us, houses us, gave us good bedding, even letting us go out for a bit to roam. She’s just trying to make up for all the time she missed out on us and show she still loves us”
“If she loved us, then why did she ignore us when we looked for her the day we turned into Freaks?!” the pink mare yelled, making the white one cringe. “If she actually cared, then she would’ve seen us when we turned into Monsters!”
Rarifruit was taken aback by that. “Is that why you’re so angry at her? Pinkis, you must know she had to care for the others as well. She can’t always be with you. Please, Pinkis, you need to give her a second chance”
“Over my dead body!” the cannibal yelled.
“Darling, you are already technically dead”
Right then, a claw suddenly picked up the car they were in. Both mares screamed as they saw that the claw was bringing them over to the Crusher. This was not good, not good at all. They looked over to see Lauren had just busted in, the other four Freaks right behind her. She was in Equestria Girl form and had started to climb on the Crusher’s ladder, hopefully to get to the commands and set the trapped mares back on the ground safely. However, she was hit by a piece of flying debris form the Crusher’s magnets and fell off the ladder.
“MOTHER! NO!” Pinkis and Rarifruit cried out in unison.
“She’s gone” Pinkis began to tear up. “She’s gone, Rarifruit, and I was laughing at her. Why didn’t I tell her that in spite of everything I was proud? I was proud! If she was still here I would tell her! I would tell…” she stopped crying when she noticed that Lauren was right behind them. “Oh! You’re here, great” Pinkis said with no emotion. “So what’s your plan to get us down?”
Right on the spot, the cable wire broke and sent then crashing to the ground. Lauren landed safely on the mattress, and managed to catch Rarifruit.
“You alright?” Lauren asked with concern.
“Yes” Rarifruit said as she was put down.
“Hang on! Where’s Pinkis?!”
“HELP MEEEEEEE!”
Pinkis was in the car, trying to get down as the Crusher looked like it was gonna get her any second. She stepped on the ladder and tried to sprint. But due to the fear in her heart, she wasn’t able to do so.
Lauren immediately went up to the other side to call to her for encouragement. “C’mon, Pinkis! You can do it!”
Pinkis tried to take a step, but it began to collapse. “I...I…I can’t…”
“Pinkis, you have to get up” Lauren said.
Pinkis shivered as she looked down. “I…I can’t…I’m too afraid”
“C’mon, daughter! You can do it!” Pinkis remembered those words.
Those were the very words Lauren said to her when she was learning to walk in animation. She remembered that day. She and the others were still in creation process. Lauren took time out to teach them how to walk, one by one. She was near the last. She stumbled but Lauren gave her those very words.
Pinkis realized everything. In spite of being somepony else’s, Lauren still loved her. Sure, she missed time out with her, but that part of growing up. But now, with newfound courage from her memory, she stood up with determination.
“I’m coming, Lauren!” she yelled as she ran to the other side. “Don’t let me fall!”
“I made you, I would never do that!”
Pinkis ran as the ladder fell into the Crusher. She leapt with the strength left in her to the safety of Lauren’s arms. Lauren had her arms reached out at full length to catch her creation. Pinkis used up her last bit of strength to leapt as far as she can. Rarifruit covered her eyes in fear. Pinkis managed to land into Lauren’s arms, and the author held her tight. Both broke down in tears.
“Please stop crying, Mother. No matter what happen, you’d always still be my original Maker. I’m sorry I hated you. I just felt…abandoned” Pinkis sobbed as Lauren flew them to safe ground.
“You shouldn’t be. I spent so much time away that I didn’t even realize the pain being inflicted on my creations. I only realized it too late”
“I can’t believe I tried to eat you alive!”
“I forgot to make me visits to check on you all in the first place, don’t worry about it!”
Pinkis sobbed tears anew. “I missed you” she snuggled her face into Lauren’s chest.
“I missed you too” Lauren cried as she stroked the pink mare’s mane.
From the rest of the group, each was just breaking down in a touchy, Maker-Creation reunion. Two of which weren’t, only glaring as more anger fueled up them. If looks could kill, they’d all be dead by now. Four down, two to go.
