// Story: My Life With Pinkie Pie

After several hours of partying with equestrias number one party pony I realized one of two things.

First was that this little filly had twenty times the energy of me and was able to party much harder & longer than I was able to.

Secondly........I should have said no to the eighth cupcake i was offered.

"Hey whats up? The party is just getting started........you aren't tired already are you?"Pinkie said sitting amid several tons worth of confetti and baking supplies which littered the floor a slightly disappointed look appearing on her face."I had alot more planned and we haven't even gotten to bobbing for apples yet...."

I hated disappointing her ......but at this rate im not sure I could even fake being able to continue I was so tired. "I'm really sorry Pinkie pie........not so used to partying thats all, i'll get better with time ....promise."I said reaching over and ruffling her mane a bit.

"Cross your heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in your eye?"She questioned holding a hoof out to me.

Heh.........really hard to say to that face.........

So I didn't 

"Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in EACH eye."I said raising the stakes of the promise as I bumped my fist against her hoof gently.

Pinkie gasped and a huge smile overtook her face in her typical fashion."OMIGOD YOU ARE SERIOUS!" She exclaimed before jumping on me giving me a big hug. I held her against my chest gently and just relaxed."I promise to throw even bigger and better parties for you promise.......so um how many parties have you been to I mean humans do party right?"

"Heh we do, alot of times its for a purely made up reason just so we have an excuse."I said with a chuckle thinking about the party my buddy held for some series he liked getting renewed for its fifth season......and how he had forgotten to invite me to it.A small frown crossed my lips for a moment and I knew she saw it so I had to come clean about the exact number."As for the number of parties ive been to.......this was probably the first one outside of family members throwing a birthday party for me. "I admitted with a slight sigh.No one had really ever thought to invite me to things until after the fact or if they had they always assumed i wouldn't enjoy being there as i was mainly an introvert. 

Pinkie's eyes bugged out and her mouth hang open in a gasp ."WAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! THIS WAS YOUR FIRST PARTY EVER!!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!" Her outburst caused a bunch of birds to vacate their home which they had built on top of my house as well as several neighbors to look up from what they were doing only to wonder where the noise had come from. "How is that even possible!?!?!?!??!?"

"Well......I just never got invited to stuff and I was too nervous to ask to tag along.......also part of me wished that it was important enough for me to be there that they would ask for me to have been included."I said looking at her."But its okay , besides I got the best party pony ever to throw me even better ones than the ones I didn't go too.Isn't that right?"

She smiled a bit and I could tell it still bothered her but she stopped pushing it."Sooooooooo can I ask you something else? " She said resting her head against my hand sounding just a little concerned.

I raised an eyebrow but nodded."Sure , whats on your mind?" I stroked her head a bit part of me knowing what she was about to ask......

"How did you know who I was before I told you my name? I mean I am the most super duper awesome party pony out there but ......this isnt my world so how did you know my name?"Pinkie said looking up at me with her big eyes .

And there it was. The question I had been dreading since I first laid eyes on her. Just like in the animation Dash had come to know about her world from the tv .......but mine was worse. I was going to have to tell her she was just a cartoon character in my world......how would she take it?

Would she freak out and run off like Dashie did? And would I be able to find her if she did? Sure Dashie was fast but Pinkie seemed able to break the rules of physics.

Would she simply break down unable to comprehend it and lose her special brand of zest for life? Becoming depressed and inconsolable for the rest of her days......

I could easily lie.......tell her that news of her parties was the stuff of legends through the multiverse .....it would be so easy and would probably be believable.....

But I couldn't....

She deserved the truth.

She had brought me laughter on my sad lonely days, and when I needed a smile all I had to do was think of her infectious smile and one soon followed behind it.It wouldn't be okay doing that to someone......even if it meant showing them a horrible truth they might not be able to handle. 

I cleared my throat and sat so I was able to see her better."Pinkie.......I have to tell you the truth........I knew your name because of this."

Reaching behind me I pulled out the first season box set of My Little Pony:Friendship Is Magic and sat it carefully in front of her."In this world you are-"I began.

"A cartoon character?"Pinkie finished looking intently at the cover art focusing on her own picture more than anypony else.Her face was in an expression of confusion mixed with curiosity."So ........is this why you were so surprised to see me?"

I managed a soft nod and couldn't look her in the eye. I had shattered her illusion of everything she was in a matter of seconds.And I had done this to a young filly no less! The stress made my stomach churn........either that or more likely all the treats I had greedily consumed earlier. 

I was about to beg Pinkie Pie for forgiveness for not bracing her for the severity of my answer when i felt her push the case against my hand which was resting on my leg. I looked up to see her ......smiling?

"Can we watch it? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!I mean its so cool im in a show for little foals and fillies to enjoy I mean wow thats so cool!!!!!"She was talking a mile a minute and my brain had to struggle to decode everything she was saying.She wasn't upset with me for not showing her this when I first met her......She wasn't depressed......She was.......excited which might have been an understatement by the amount of times she was using the word wow .

I smiled as a huge wave of relief crashed over me and I popped open the case taking the first disc out gingerly."Heh sure thing. " I put it in and heard Pinkie Pie zip off and back by the time i had hit play.

"Gotta have snacks right?" She said somehow having acquired two huge bags of buttered popcorn now decked out in 3D glasses herself.

My stomach made a gurgling noise and I managed a weak smile."Errrr you can have mine , im not hungry at the moment." I said not being able to even look at food without feeling a bit sick.

"Ohhhhhh more for me ! " She snuggled close to my side and put a huge hoof full of popcorn in her mouth eagerly crunching it as the title sequence begin to play. 

I smiled and relaxed for the moment letting my head sink into the couch cushion. Today I had made progress with her.

I had no idea what tomorrow was going to bring. 

No idea what problems would crop up in the days to come. 

But for the moment none of that mattered. 

The only thing that mattered was the filly sitting next to me smiling and watching a show that she had come from somehow ending up in my world thru unknown means.And for the moment that she was happy.

And the calm that would hopefully last a while longer .

But for now.....It was time to binge a season of my favorite show with my favorite pony
