//------------------------------// // Sunsick Shimmer // Story: Pinkie Pie's Chaotic Saturday // by CapNTilfy //------------------------------// "Hiya, Fluttershy!" Pinkie said. "Oh. Hello, Pinkie." Fluttershy said. "What's up?" "I was just wondering how your night went and if you have any plans before you volunteer at the animal shelter." Said Pinkie. "My night was uneventful. All I did was pick up Sunset from work, and it sounded like she had a very busy day." "Oh, I know you picked SunShim up. I just wanted to hear about it from you." Pinkie grinned. "Maybe I should check in with her before I go over daytime plans with you." "Oh, that would be nice of you. I won't take another minute of your time." Fluttershy said. "Okie-dokie-lokie!" Said Pinkie. She hung up on Fluttershy. Dialing Sunset's number, she put the phone to her ear. "Princessipal Celestia, izzat yooo?" said a dazed voice. Pinkie laughed out loud for a moment, then said "Princessipal Celestia! That's a good one, SunShim!" ---------------------------------------------- Once Pinkie finished her conversation with Sunset, she sent a text to Fluttershy. Change of plans, Fluttershy. I'll explain in a text to everyone. - Sent by Pinkie Pie Okay. - Sent by Fluttershy Cracking her knuckles, Pinkie grabbed a notebook and sent out a text to all her closest friends. All of them, aside from Sunset, who had apparently been 'puking her guts out' throughout the late night and was taking time to rest. All right, girls. Listen up! Sunset Shimmer is super-ultra-mega sick! She told me she needs our company to help her feel better! - Sent by Pinkie Pie Goodness! I know she had a busy day at work, but I didn't think she'd be that worn down. - Sent by Fluttershy Well, at least this is worth being woken up from a nap. - Sent by Rainbow Dash Rainbow Dash! Honestly! Sunset is sick and she needs our help! - Sent by Rarity Sorry. I get moody when I'm woken up all of a sudden. - Sent by Rainbow Dash Oof. Sounds like she has it pretty rough. - Sent by Applejack Is she drinking CrocoJuice? That's a good drink for people with sick stomachs. - Sent by Twilight Sparkle We need to think of how we can all visit her during the day. What do all of your schedules look like? - sent by Pinkie Pie ---------------------------------------------- About an hour of texting later, Pinkie had filled her notebook with all the details she needed. Rarity: Working at the boutique, a little bit of free time, babysitting Lily Pad. Me: Babysitting Lily Pad, free time. Applejack: Shift at Aunt Orange's Smoothie Stand, needs to grab toolbox for Sunset's guard rail. Fluttershy: Free time, volunteering at animal shelter, free time. Rainbow Dash: Day off, open all day. Twilight: Free time, work, date with Timber Spruce. Pinkie went over her notes again, thought for a moment, then gave a nod of satisfaction. Perfect! She texted her friends again. Okay girls, how about this order? - Sent by Pinkie Pie ---------------------------------------------- Having set her plan for her and her friends to keep Sunset company into motion, Pinkie took a moment to relax. So this is how it's going to be, huh? Another hectic day. I've got the energy for it! Do your wors- Pinkie cut herself off, having learned not to tempt fate, even in thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of her second-oldest sister. "Maud! How's it going?" Pinkie cheerfully asked. Maud was expressionless as usual, but every now and then she'd smile. "It's going great, Pinkie. I want to thank you again for your help with my rock lectures at the museum." she deadpanned. Pinkie giggled. "Oh, Maud! That was ages ago!" "I know, I just wanted to express my gratitude yet again. More and more people are coming over to listen to my talks." said Maud. "Well, I'm glad I could be of help! Is there anything you want to talk about?" said Pinkie. "Not really." said Maud. "Have you seen Mom, Dad, Marble or Limestone?" Pinkie thought for a moment. "No. I guess they haven't been introduced to Equestria Girls canon yet." Maud simply blinked. Pinkie rolled her eyes and smiled. "Never mind. I was just being silly." Maud smiled a little. "Never change, Pinkie Pie." Having said that, Maud went about her own business. With the conversation over, Pinkie Pie went back up to her room. She turned on her TV and game console and started playing, letting her thoughts drift. I don't think Lily Pad's going to be here for another hour or so... It's too nice to stay indoors. Maybe I can talk Lily into reading outside. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, people are walking their dogs. Pinkie sighed. I love summer. Pinkie let out a frustrated groan. "BORED!" Why is the title of this story "Pinkie Pie's Chaotic Saturday"? Nothing's happening right now! Well, that's not true. I'm playing a video game. That's a thing that's happening. The doorbell rang. "About time!" Pinkie said as she ran down the hallway and the stairs. She opened the door to a pizza delivery man. "Hiya!" she greeted the delivery man, paid him, took the pizzas and closed the door. She then put the pizzas in the oven. "Gotta keep these warm for Lily and me!" Pinkie ran back upstairs and resumed playing her game. After a few minutes, the doorbell rang again. "Finally!" she ran down the stairs again and opened the door. "SuperEats!"said a delivery man. "Sweet! The desserts are here!" She paid the delivery man, took the desserts and closed the door. "To the freezer you go!" Pinkie said, and put them in the freezer. Before Pinkie could run back upstairs, the doorbell rang again. She opened the door. "Traveling clownfish salesman!" Pinkie shrieked and slammed the door, screaming as she ran upstairs. She ran into her room, entered the fetal position and hugged Gummy tightly. "C-c-c-c-curse you, r-r-r-r-r-r-ule of three!" she stammered. The doorbell rang again, but Pinkie stayed in her room. A minute later, Maud walked in. "Pinkie, Lily's here." "A-a-a-a-a-a-re the c-c-c-c-c-clownfish g-g-g-g-g-gone?" she said. "Yes, Pinkie. The clownfish are gone, and Lily Pad's waiting for you downstairs." Pinkie perked up. "Phew! Thanks Maud, you're the best!" she said and ran straight downstairs to greet Lily.
