The clock struck midnight, and the second night had begun. The animatronics were free to roam around the building once again. The withered animatronics, however, were already teleported to the building to do Celestia's bidding. Pinkis Cupcake was the farthest from the group, but she wasn’t planning to take out anyone just yet. She was looking for somebody in particular.
She snuck through the building by dashing through the shadows until she came across Party Cove. She walked through the hallway, and there he was. Cheese Sandwich was just standing on his little stage while playing with his ping pong paddle. He was also rebuilt into his fixed version. The co-workers must have put him back together yesterday. It will be harder to wreck him now. But it was nothing she couldn't handle. It was Celestia's orders after all.
She quietly stalked behind him, preparing to strike with her hook, but then paused for a moment. What was she thinking? Of course she had to get the job done. But at the same time, it felt so wrong. Besides, she had a crush on him. What she didn't know was that he had a crush on her as well. So, she did what she had to do. She raised her arm up, brought it down towards him, and simply tapped his shoulder to get his attention.
Cheese jumped back when he felt something tap his shoulder. He turned around to see the timid withered girl standing behind him. "Whoa!" he gasped. "You had me scared there for a second."
Pinkis wrapped her hand and hook behind her as she said "Sorry" in a timid smile.
Cheese took a minute to catch his breath before looking her over. "Wait," he responded. "You were one of those withered girls that was here last night."
Pinkis gazed down at the floor as she realized he remembered her and who she was with.
But then Cheese put out his hoof for her to shake. "It's nice to see you again," he said.
Pinkis was confused about Cheese's reply, but she happily shook his hoof with her hand. "So, uh, what is your name again?" he asked.
"Pinkis," she answered. "Pinkis Cupcake."
Cheese looked at her and said, "That sounds kinda cute coming from you."
Pinkis blushed. "Yeah," she responded. "My looks can be deceiving."
"Not to me," he said as he got off the stadium as he shouted, "BRB!" He dashed out of the room leaving Pinkis to wait for a few seconds. Then random noises started to happen. There was banging and clanging with bike horns, cats meowing, cows mooing, bells ringing, and machines breaking. After 10 seconds, Cheese came back in his mangled version. "How do I look?" he asked, showing his endoskeleton body.
"Hmm," Pinkis said, tapping her finger on her chin. "It's missing something." She snapped her fingers when she figured it out. She dashed towards a conveniently placed chest in the corner. She pulled out a rubber chicken head and placed it over the extra endoskeleton head next to Cheese. "Now you have a companion as your second head," she said.
Cheese gasped in amazement as he squealed, "Boneless! My rubber chicken companion! I missed ya buddy!"
Pinkis giggled. "I have a companion of my own. His name is Gummy. He's an alligator squeaky toy."
Cheese chuckled to himself from the response. "That's adorable," He looked back at her since he was interested in her. "So, can you tell me about yourself?"
Pinkis looked down and responded, "I don't remember about my old life. All I remember is that I was with my friends in this place before, and we were great friends. But then...one day...they just shut me out...and...I never knew why."
Cheese took her hand with his hoof as he looked up to her and said, "I would never shut you out." Suddenly, his hook and other hoof held a guitar and strummed it.
Pinkis took a deep breath as she blurted out, "Okay, can I say something crazy?"
Cheese grabbed the guitar and whacked it on his head while saying, "I am crazy!"
I know what you are all thinking. You think they are both going to sing "Love is a yummy s'more." Well, they are. I will explain everything in my notes below this chapter. So, I might as well cut to chase then. Alright?
After that whole musical number, they were both sitting on the top balcony where Cadence and Shining Armor were sitting last night. The sky was beautiful as always, and they were both in an embrace after an amazing night.
They gazed into each other’s eyes, and Cheese was the first to speak up. "Pinkis, I just wanted to let you know...no matter what happens, I will always be there to help you out no matter what." He pulled her into a deeper embrace.
"You would do that for me?" she asked. A tear dropped from her eye as she formed a smile. "Having someone to care about me and love me for who I am..." Pinkis was cut off for a second until she finally found the answer. "...it makes me feel so...HAPPY!"
And then at that moment, a light started to shine around Pinkis as it started to lift her in mid-air. Soon after, a huge bright flash blasted out.
Cheese was forced to wear sunglasses because of the blinding light. Once the light show was over, he saw her drop to the floor right in front of him. Cheese took a fan to clear all the dust to see if Pinkis was alright. He couldn't believe his eyes of what or who he saw. "Pinkis?" Cheese replied. "Your...your...your all fixed! OMG! I am so happy for you." He saw the girl step forward.
"Actually, that's not my real name," replied the fixed animatronic girl.
Cheese looked at her as he realized that couldn't have been her name. "Oh" he responded. "So, what is your real name?"
She put a smile on her face. "It's Pinkie,” she said. “Pinkie Pie."
Cheese giggled to himself. “Okay,” he said. “That's adorable."
Pinkie took a minute to think of a response. She finally found one. "I remember everything now. I remember our lives before animatronics. I remember who my friends really are!"
Cheese couldn't hold in any longer what he was about to say. So he blurted out, "Can I say something crazy?" Pinkie nodded and Cheese finally asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Pinkie grabbed him by the rosey cheeks with her hand and hook when she asked, "Can I say something even crazier?" Cheese nodded as well until Pinkie finally shouted out, "Yes!" And with that, she finally kissed him, just as Cheese started to swoon. Pinkie sat down beside him on the floor and placed his head on her lap. She brushed his puffy hair and giggled to herself. They both wished they could be together like this forever.
Celestia was watching. She gritted her teeth, realizing that one of her minions betrayed her and switched sides. She could've killed both of them right here and now. But then that would cause the rest of her minions to not trust her and switch sides as well. She was going to have to play along in this game. She might as well check how Rainbine was doing.
