//------------------------------// // Gynophobia // Story: Pinkie Pie's Special Friends // by smirker //------------------------------// Pinkie Pie was walking around Ponyville and was looking around at how many friends she had, she was curious about how many more friends she will be able to make. Maud Pie walks to Pinkie Pie while she was enjoying the view of the town, "Pinkie." Maud Pie said, Pinkie Pie faced her, "Maud!" Pinkie Pie said loudly and happily and hugged her, "Pinkie, you can let go now, I've got an envelope for you, Derpy got the mail mixed up again." Maud Pie said, "Oh, that Derpy, always making that mistake." Pinkie Pie replied in a playful tone, "Well, Pinkie, here's your mail, you should read it, it looks important." Maud Pie said, and she walks back home. Pinkie Pie goes to Sugarcube Corner and into her room, she opens the envelope and reads the letter, her eyes pop out of their sockets when she read the letter, "Dear, Pinkie, This is Ice Blower, I'm a stallion now, I'm sure you remember me, we met when I was a colt. A lot of things have happened, I've got a female best friend six years ago, and a girlfriend four years ago, she and I are getting married, the wedding is in two weeks from now. My sister is going to be the maid of honor, and my female best friend is a bridesmaid, I want you to come to my wedding, as a bridesmaid, you are just as important to me as my best friend, sister, and my bride-to-be, hope you can make it. P.S. I'll be sending the bridesmaid dress to you next week, hope you like it when it comes." Pinkie Pie was in utter surprise, too surprised to say anything, she fell apart into pieces at the fact that she was asked to be a bridesmaid, she was completely honored to be chosen. Pinkie Pie reforms herself and was extremely excited, she was also excited about what her bridesmaid dress will look like. She wondered if she should tell her friends about the wedding, but decided to wait to see how things go, but she was certain that her family will be present because they knew Ice Blower's parents. A week passes and Pinkie Pie was in Sugarcube Corner with Maud Pie, they were watching over Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake, while the Cake twins had fun with Pinkie Pie, they were bored with Maud Pie. Pinkie Pie had Marble Pie come last month to watch and play with the Cake twins, but Marble Pie was too shy and ended up hiding from them, the Cake twins thought she was playing a game of hide and seek. Limestone Pie was called three weeks ago, and her attitude and temper scared the twins, Carrot Cake and Cup Cake had to hide their children while Pinkie Pie had to hold Limestone Pie back since she made the twins cry. Derpy flies in with a box on her back, she almost fell and damaged it, "Pinkie Pie, your bridesmaid dress is here." Derpy said, Pinkie Pie became ecstatic and quickly grabbed the box and ripped it apart, the dress was pink-magenta with short sleeves on the front legs, the skirt of the dress was closed, there was no opening in the front like how most skirts for ponies had, the bodice had green leaves as decorations on it with a red rose in the center of the chest area, two red roses also came with the dress for the bridesmaid to wear in her mane. Pinkie Pie loved the design, she went up to her room with Maud Pie, she took a full body mirror out of her tail and held it up. Pinkie Pie tries on the dress and puts the roses in her mane at the sides, she loved it, she decided not to style her mane and tail because she thought it was pretty enough, and was ready to go to the wedding. Maud Pie looked at Pinkie Pie with a raised eyebrow, "Pinkie, what's going on?" Maud Pie asked, "Do you remember Ice Blower, Maud?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Of course I do, his parents were friends with ours." Maud Pie replied, "Well, you see, his wedding is in one week from today, and he wants me to be one of his bridesmaids!" Pinkie Pie said loudly and excitedly, Maud Pie just simply smiled, "Did you ask if you can bring any family or friends?" Maud Pie asked, Pinkie Pie became speechless, "No, no I have not." Pinkie Pie replied, "I'll be back then." Maud Pie said, and she dashed out, she came back after a few seconds, "He said you can only bring your immediate family." Maud Pie said, "Aw, that means I can't bring Applejack and her family." Pinkie Pie replied, "The Cake family considers you family too, right? You can bring them with us, too." Maud Pie said, "Whoo-hoo! I'll go inform them." Pinkie Pie replied, and she dashed to the Cake family with the gown being left in place, Maud Pie caught it and put it back in the box. Pinkie Pie dashed to the Cake family with a pink trail behind her, "Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I have good news." Pinkie Pie said, "Really, Pinkie Pie?" Carrot Cake asked, "Yes, I'm going to a wedding and I'm going to be a bridesmaid, because of that, I can invite my immediate family, and since you two consider me a daughter, you two and your children can come." Pinkie Pie said, "Really? That's wonderful, Pinkie Pie, we'd be honored to attend." Cup Cake replied, Pinkie Pie became extremely happy and ran back to Sugarcube Corner, "Maud! Good news, they're attending!" Pinkie Pie said, Maud Pie had a small smile on her face, Pinkie Pie sighs and begins to look back on when she first met Ice Blower. Pinkie Pie was on the train and was going to Southwestern Equestria, Igneous Rock Pie sent her to go see a family whose parents were friends with him and Cloudy Quartz. The parents of the family were Avalanche and his wife, Snow Blower, they were ice farmers, they have passed away recently, there were only two ponies there, Ice Blower, and his older sister, Frosty. Pinkie Pie was sent because Limestone Pie and Marble Pie were busy running the farm, and Maud Pie was in college, Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz made a promise to help their children if and when they pass away if their children were still young, Frosty was thirteen years old while Ice Blower was eight years old. Pinkie Pie arrives into Southwestern Equestria and gets off the train, "Hello, Ice Blower, Frosty, I'm here." Pinkie Pie said loudly while the station was crowded with ponies, the ponies look around and try to help Pinkie Pie find Frosty and Ice Blower, "I'm over here." a female voice said, Pinkie Pie looked and saw a female earth pony, she had a white coat, a long sky blue mane and tail, blue eyes, and her cutie mark was a white snowflake, Pinkie Pie deduced that she was Frosty. Pinkie Pie walks to her and shakes her front left hoof, "I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, daughter of Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, I've heard, I really appreciate Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz sending help to us, we really need it." Frosty replied, "Where's Ice Blower?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Oh, uh, he... couldn't come along, he has a condition." Frosty replied, "Aw, that's too bad, well, take me to your place, I'll try to help however I can." Pinkie Pie said, "Thank you, this way, then." Frosty replied, and the two head to their home. Pinkie Pie arrives at Frosty's home and sees there was ice everywhere, and it was cold, "Brrrr, I should've brought my winter clothes." Pinkie Pie said, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Frosty replied, "How do you guys preserve the ice?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Unicorn help, they were nice enough to use their magic to keep the house cold enough for us to harvest ice." Frosty replied, "Tell them they have my thanks, my parents were thinking about buying ice from you two when the summer heat comes." Pinkie Pie said, "How would you like the ice?" Frosty asked, "Just simple ice cubes for our drinks." Pinkie Pie replied, "Oh, okay, one bit per ice cube." Frosty said, Pinkie Pie smiled. Frosty goes to a closed door and she knocks on it, "Ice Blower, our guest is here." Frosty said, "Is it a boy or girl?" Ice Blower asked from the other side of the door, "Girl." Frosty replied, Ice Blower screams out of shock and hides in his room, "Hey, no need to be scared." Pinkie Pie said, "Go away, you girls are mean." Ice Blower replied, "No, we're not." Pinkie Pie said, "Go away, before I have a panic attack." Ice Blower replied, Pinkie Pie was confused, and left to go ask Frosty, but she had a job for Pinkie Pie to do, moving the ice around. Pinkie Pie was cold and uncomfortable, some of the ice that she moved with her snout stuck to her lips, she moved back to get the ice off, she was so busy, she forgot to ask Frosty what was wrong with Ice Blower, she remembered while trying to sleep, "Oh well, I'll ask her next time." Pinkie Pie said to herself and she fell asleep. The next day comes and Frosty was leaving when Pinkie Pie woke up, "Where are you going, Frosty?" Pinkie Pie asked tiredly, "Work, I'm working as a bank accountant, the job's pretty fun to me." Frosty replied, "That's great to hear, always remember, if it's not fun, then it's not worth doing." Pinkie Pie said, Frosty chuckled, "I wish it was that way, well, I'm off to work, Pinkamena, see you this afternoon." Frosty replied, "Okay, bye." Pinkie Pie said, and Frosty left. Pinkie Pie hears a door open and walking, she realized that Ice Blower must have come out, she looks and saw the colt, he had a light blue coat, a long white mane and tail, and sky blue eyes, he did not have a cutie mark yet, "Good morning." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower looks and sees her, she smiled, Ice Blower saw her and screamed in fear, he quickly runs out of the house, "Hey, wait!" Pinkie Pie said while she ran after him. Pinkie Pie runs after Ice Blower and they were in town, "Hey, wait, I just wanna talk." Pinkie Pie said, and Ice Blower lost her in a crowd, Pinkie Pie looks around for him and does not see him anywhere, Pinkie Pie's right eye twitched at the fact that he was avoiding her, she walks to back to the house, "Why would somepony avoid me for? I'm the living embodiment of fun." Pinkie Pie said to herself, and she went back to the house she was staying at. Pinkie Pie was back at Frosty's and Ice Blower's homes, she punched the ice to make sculptures of herself, Ice Blower, and Frosty, they were all smiling and happy, she also carved words at the bottom of her sculptures, "Best and happiest family ever" the bottom of the sculptures read. Pinkie Pie hears voices outside and saw a group of colts walking together, she saw Ice Blower was with them, he waves bye at them and they leave, he enters the house and was scared, he walks in slowly and looks around, he looks and saw Pinkie Pie, "Welcome home." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower screams in fear and runs to his room, "Wait, wait, no, I want to talk with you." Pinkie Pie said while chasing him, Ice Blower continues to scream and runs into his room, he slams the door and locks it, Pinkie Pie tries to open it, "OH, COME ON!!" Pinkie Pie shouted, she stretches her left eye out and puts it through the keyhole. Pinkie Pie looks into Ice Blower's room and saw he had all the windows covered and closed, there was only a bed and a few toys for him to play with, Pinkie Pie was a bit uncomfortable with the setting, the room did not look like a happy place. The front door opens and closes, "Pinkamena, Ice Blower, I'm home." Frosty said, she got no response, she walks around and saw Pinkie Pie in front of Ice Blower's room, she goes to her, "Pinkamena, what are you doing?" Frosty asked, Pinkie Pie did not respond since she was too focused, Frosty just left and Pinkie Pie stood at the door all day and watched Ice Blower, he eventually fell asleep and Pinkie Pie took her eye out of the keyhole, "Ouch, that actually hurt." Pinkie Pie said to herself, she goes to the pale blue couch she saw and slept on it. Pinkie Pie wakes up the next morning and saw Frosty has already left, she checks Ice Blower's room and saw it was unlocked, she opens it and sees he has already left as well. Pinkie Pie hears laughing and things being thrown outside, she heads out and saw six fillies were harassing Ice Blower, they called him names, threw things at him, and one female unicorn took his saddle bag with telekinesis and ripped it apart, Ice Blower runs away while scared, two teenage female ponies were doing the same thing to him as well, an adult female pony soon tackles him from behind and shoves his face into the ground. Pinkie Pie dashes to Ice Blower as fast as she could, she yanks him away and saw he was having a panic attack, her tail twitches and Pinkie Pie saw two female Pegasi dropping metal vases from the sky, try to hit Ice Blower with them, Pinkie Pie dashes as fast as she can, leaving a pink trail behind herself, she runs into his and Frosty's home and locks the door. Pinkie Pie checks Ice Blower to try to make sure he was alright, he was still hyperventilating, "Hey, it's okay, you're safe." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower calms down and sees Pinkie Pie smile at him, he screams in fear and runs to his room and locks it, Pinkie Pie growled at the fact that Ice Blower was still avoiding her. Frosty comes home several hours later and saw Pinkie Pie sulking on the couch, "What's wrong, Pinkamena?" Frosty asked, "It's your brother, I'm trying to reach out to him and he's still avoiding me, even after I saved him from those mean mares this afternoon." Pinkie Pie replied, Frosty sighed and sat across from her, "I don't get it, what is wrong with your brother?" Pinkie Pie asked, "He has gynophobia." Frosty replied, Pinkie Pie looked at Frosty with shock, "What?! He hates girls?!" Pinkie Pie asked with horror, "No, he doesn't hate them, he's scared of them." Frosty replied, Pinkie Pie had a surprised face, "But he speaks to you." Pinkie Pie said, "That's because we grew up together, but even then, he still doesn't trust me, he developed his fear of girls because of me, our mother, and the mares he has met. I used to pick on him and play pranks on him, while our mother was a control freak and wanted everything orderly, Ice Blower always made a mess, which caused our mother to yell at him all the time, and the mares in this town pick on him and are rude to him, that's why he's scared of us, girls." Frosty replied, "I hope you regret what you did to him." Pinkie Pie said, "I do." Frosty replied, "Did you apologize to him?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Already did, he still hasn't accepted it." Frosty replied, Pinkie Pie was still glaring at her, "I'm sorry, Pinkamena, but I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower and head to bed." Frosty said, and she went to take a shower. Ice Blower hears the shower and he comes out of his room, he has a snack and he goes back to his room, he closes the door and saw Pinkie Pie in his room, "Hiya." Pinkie Pie said with a smile, Ice Blower exclaims in shock and runs to the corner of his room and quivers in fear, "Hey, it's okay, no need to be scared." Pinkie Pie said as she approached him, he looked back and saw Pinkie Pie standing right behind him, "Please, I'm begging you, don't hit me." Ice Blower said in a scared voice, Pinkie Pie becomes shocked, "What? I'm not here to hit you, I just wanna talk to you." Pinkie Pie replied, he continued to look at her with fear, "Really?" Ice Blower asked, Pinkie Pie nodded, "I promise." Pinkie Pie replied while smiling, and Ice Blower continued to cradle in fear, Pinkie places her right front hoof on his right shoulder, he felt comfort, he turned around and saw Pinkie Pie behind him, "It's okay, come here." Pinkie Pie said in a gentle voice, he walks to her and she hugs him. Ice Blower felt comfort and affection from the hug rather than fear, which left him speechless, he was still scared a little deep down, and tried to break free, "Don't fight it, just let the love and affection consume you." Pinkie Pie said, and Ice Blower stops resisting, "What was your name again?" Ice Blower asked, "You can call me Pinkie." Pinkie Pie replied, "But I heard my sister call you Pinkamena." Ice Blower said, "That's my full first name, Pinkie is my nickname." Pinkie Pie replied, "Which one do you prefer?" Ice Blower asked, "Either one's fine." Pinkie Pie replied, "Uh, Pinkamena, I'm starting to get uncomfortable." Ice Blower said, and Pinkie Pie lets go, "Are you tired, Ice Blower?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not yet." Ice Blower replied, "Then I would like to know how you became scared of girls." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower sighed, and was uncomfortable, "When I was younger, our mother would yell at me all the time, and beat me if I misbehaved, and my sister would play pranks on me in public, which made the other girls laugh at me for weeks, the prank was usually my sister calling my name from behind, I would look and she would throw a ball at my face and hit me. My mother never held me, she never hugged me or kissed me on the forehead, she only did that to my sister, she always hit me and yell at me, while my father would just pat me on the back or shoulder, I never received the same love or affection my sister got. Our parents moved here two years ago, and I've been bullied by the girls in school, I began to believe that every girl is like that since I've never met a friendly one, you've seen what they did, that's how every female student in class acts to me, while my teachers scold me and make me get in trouble for their behaviors, they were also female, that is why I don't go out often, I don't go to school either because of my fear." Ice Blower explained, "What about boys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sometimes, I've met boys just as mean or even meaner than the girls I've met, but it's rare, while every girl I've met has been mean to me, even my sister has been mean to me when we were younger." Ice Blower replied, "Well, starting tomorrow, let's try to help you get over your fear, it will greatly hinder you if you're scared of girls when you're a stallion." Pinkie Pie said, "Okay, but I'm not comfortable with it." Ice Blower replied, "Don't worry, I'll be there to help you, okay?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Alright, I'm going to bed, and can you leave? I'm not comfortable with a girl in my room." Ice Blower said, "Oki doki loki." Pinkie Pie replied, and she left the room, she slept on the couch again and was excited for tomorrow. Morning comes and Ice Blower comes out of his room, much to Frosty's surprise, "Ice Blower, what are you doing out?" Frosty asked, "Pinkamena wants to help me get over my fear." Ice Blower replied, "Oh, I can't say how much I appreciate that, Pinkamena, I wish you good luck." Frosty said, "Thank you, I'll try my best." Pinkie Pie replied, Frosty smiled and left for work, "Okay, Ice Blower, we'll start easy, let's just hang out together, just the two of us." Pinkie Pie said, and Ice Blower walks to her. Pinkie Pie sat on the couch with Ice Blower in her lap, "Alright, Ice Blower, since you've already gotten comfortable talking to me, let's try physical contact." Pinkie Pie said, and she hugged Ice Blower, all he did was touch her front hooves with his own, "You're squashing me." Ice Blower said, "Oh, my bad." Pinkie Pie replied, she loosened her grip, Ice Blower turned around and was wondering how he should touch Pinkie Pie, he just held his front legs out and they ended up on Pinkie Pie's chest, "No, Ice Blower, that's a bad place to touch a girl." Pinkie Pie said while she shook her head and took his front hooves off of her chest, Ice Blower thinks and tries to reach for Pinkie Pie's shoulders, she smiles and helps him, "Good, you found the first good spot to touch a girl, now try to find the other areas." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower was still uncomfortable and nervous being with Pinkie Pie due to his gynophobia, but he continues, he decides to touch Pinkie Pie's mane, "It's okay, but you don't touch a girl's mane unless they let you, Ice Blower." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower takes his front hooves off while Pinkie Pie smiles, he then tried touching her tail, "I guess that's fine, I've never had somepony touch my tail before." Pinkie Pie said, "You're not sure about this one?" Ice Blower asked, "I must admit, I'm not." Pinkie Pie replied, and Ice Blower lets go, he then tried touching Pinkie Pie's front hooves, "Good, that's the most common spot to touch somepony, Ice Blower, regardless of gender." Pinkie Pie said while smiling, "I'm still not comfortable being around you, Pinkamena." Ice Blower said, "That's why we're going to take this one step at a time, when you're comfortable, you and I are going to walk around town together." Pinkie Pie replied, this made Ice Blower uncomfortable, but he decided to go with it in hopes of getting over his fear, "How long do I have to stay with you?" Ice Blower asked, "Try to make it to the end of the day if you can." Pinkie Pie replied, Ice Blower tried his best and managed to stay with Pinkie Pie until the day ended, much to Pinkie Pie's impressment, she left Ice Blower for him to sleep and she slept by herself. The next day comes and the two spend time together, they try to walk around town four days after Ice Blower was comfortable with Pinkie Pie, "Don't you have school to attend, Ice Blower?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Attending school is a choice in this town." Ice Blower replied, "Well, come on, then, let's try having you speak to a mare." Pinkie Pie said, and the two go to the nearest mare. Pinkie Pie and Ice Blower go to the nearest mare, it was a light blue unicorn, she looks at them while frowning, "Go on, introduce yourself." Pinkie Pie said, "Uh, hi, my name is Ice Blower." Ice Blower said, "I don't care who you are." the unicorn replied, Pinkie Pie looked at the mare with a disapproved face, "Uh, I would... like to... be your friend." Ice Blower said, "No, I don't socialize with foals, get lost, you brat." the unicorn replied, "Hey! He's just trying to be your friend." Pinkie Pie said, "I don't care, foals don't deserve friends, they all should be beaten and harassed." the unicorn replied, Pinkie Pie was enraged at the response, she seethes and her face turns red, she then growls angrily with fire coming out of her snout and ears, the unicorn screams and runs away. Pinkie Pie and Ice Blower walk together and look for a mare for Ice Blower to speak to, they see a light green Pegasus filly with yellow eyes up ahead, they walk to her, she looks at them, "Go on, introduce yourself, and shake hoofs." Pinkie Pie said, "Hi, my name is Ice Blower, it's nice to meet you, and I'd like to be your friend." Ice Blower said slowly as he held his front right hoof out, the Pegasus filly grabs it, much to Ice Blower's surprise, but she then pull him forward and tries to headbutt him, but Pinkie Pie holds her front right leg out to block the attack, "What are you doing?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "What'd you mean? I know who he is, he's the colt scared of girls, so why not make him even more scared by attacking him?" the filly asked while smiling, Pinkie Pie glares at her and takes Ice Blower away, they walk away while the filly snickers at them. Ice Blower and Pinkie Pie walk together around the town, "See, Pinkamena, this is why I'm scared of girls, every girl I've met is like that to me." Ice Blower said, "What do you mean? I'm a girl, and you're comfortable with me." Pinkie Pie replied, "That's because you're not like the others, you're different." Ice Blower said, "Well, let's try one more time." Pinkie Pie replied, and they go to the nearest mare, it was a teenage earth pony. Pinkie Pie and Ice Blower go to the mare, "Go on now, introduce yourself." Pinkie Pie said, "Uh, hi, my name is Ice Blower." Ice Blower replied, the earth pony just glared at him, it scared him and he was speechless, "Uh, if it's okay with you, I would like to befriend you." Ice Blower said slowly, the earth pony turned around and bucked him, he grunted and fell to the ground, Pinkie Pie looked on with shock while the earth pony walked away while snickering. Pinkie Pie runs to him and checks him, "You okay, Ice Blower?" Pinkie Pie asked, Ice Blower groaned and stood up, "That's it, I quit, this is going nowhere." Ice Blower said, "Wait, I have an idea, just wait, I'll be back tomorrow, you should head on home, Ice Blower." Pinkie Pie replied, Ice Blower groaned while rolling his eyes and he walked home. Pinkie Pie boards the train to go to her home, she looks out the window and sees several mares throwing water balloons at him while laughing, he hyperventilated and ran home while Pinkie Pie watched with great concern. Pinkie Pie comes back to town the next afternoon and enters his house, "Ice Blower, I have a visitor for you." Pinkie Pie said in a singsong voice, Ice Blower walks out of his room and saw Pinkie Pie with another mare, "Meet my baby twin sister, Marble Pie." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower walked to her in surprise, "You're Pinkamena's twin sister?" Ice Blower asked while confused because she looked nothing like Pinkie Pie, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie said while nodding, "Is Marble Pie your full name?" Ice Blower asked, "Mm-mmm." Marble Pie replied while shaking her head, "We usually call her Marble for short, her full name is Marble Inkie Pie." Pinkie Pie said, Marble Pie looked at her while smiling, "Well, come on over, Ice Blower, I promise she won't hurt you." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower walks to her slowly, Marble Pie hugged him when he was close by, Ice Blower felt comfort from her, "See, she likes you." Pinkie Pie said, "Then I assume you already know about my fear." Ice Blower said, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie replied while nodding and smiling, Ice Blower had a small smile on his face. Frosty comes home from work and sees Marble Pie, "Oh, who is this?" Frosty asked, "Marble Pie, my baby twin sister." Pinkie Pie replied, "Oh yeah, mother and father did say there was four of you, so we've got Pinkamena Diane Pie, Maudileena Daisy Pie..." Frosty said, "This one is Marble Inkie Pie." Ice Blower replied, "And the last one is Limestone Blinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie said, "So, what exactly are you doing, Pinkamena?" Ice Blower asked, "Since the mares in this town are mean to you, I'm going to try to have you get over your fear by having you hang out with my sisters." Pinkie Pie replied, "But isn't Maudileena away?" Frosty asked, "Maud will be coming home for vacation from college soon, she'll be here eventually." Pinkie Pie replied, "What about your mother?" Frosty asked, "No, mom and dad are too busy to do something like this, my sisters will have to do it." Pinkie Pie replied, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie said while nodding, "Well, let's hang out together, the more, the better, come on, Ice Blower." Frosty said, and the four sit together, Ice Blower was still uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as before, Pinkie Pie and Frosty converse, they tried to have Ice Blower and Marble Pie join, but Ice Blower was too scared at the moment, and Marble Pie was too shy to speak, the day ends and Pinkie Pie and Marble Pie board the train and go back home. Pinkie Pie arrives back at the house the next day and Ice Blower saw Limestone Pie, "So you're Ice Blower, the colt scared of mares, you best behave yourself around me or I'll give you something to be scared about." Limestone Pie said, Pinkie Pie pulls Limestone Pie away, "Limestone, he's already scared of mares, the last thing I need is you making him scared even more." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, if he doesn't behave, I'll give him something to be scared about." Limestone Pie replied, Ice Blower was already scared, "This is why I fear mares, mares like her have been everywhere in my life so far." Ice Blower said, Limestone Pie gets into his face, "You better not cross me, or I'll give you the beating of your life, I may be a mare, but I am strong, if I want to, I can kick your head clean off with just one buck." Limestone Pie said, Pinkie Pie pulled her away, "Don't touch me!" Limestone Pie said, "That's enough, mister grumpy." Pinkie Pie replied, "MISS grumpy." Limestone Pie said, scaring Ice Blower, Frosty hears her and heads home, she sees Limestone Pie, "Who is this Pinkamena?" Frosty asked, "Name's Limestone Pie, Maud, Pinkie, and Marble all answer to me." Limestone Pie replied, "Why you for?" Ice Blower asked, "Cause I'm the oldest." Limestone Pie replied, "I thought Maudileena was the oldest." Frosty said, "No, Maud is the second oldest." Pinkie Pie replied, "What about you, Pinkamena?" Ice Blower asked, "I'm the second youngest." Pinkie Pie replied, "Uh, Pinkamena, I don't think Ice Blower is comfortable around Limestone." Frosty said, "Well, that's his problem, and I'd like to know why he isn't preserving the ice." Limestone Pie replied, Frosty and Ice Blower become shocked when they realize they forgot to tend to their ice supplies, they run and become relieved when they see their ice was fine, "Well, let's give it a try, gather around, everypony." Pinkie Pie said, and they sat together, Limestone Pie took control of the conversation and she scared Ice Blower and Frosty, the day ends and Pinkie Pie and Limestone Pie go home on the train. Two days pass with Pinkie Pie visiting Ice Blower alone, the next day comes and Pinkie Pie comes again, "Ice Blower, come meet my last sister." Pinkie Pie said, Ice Blower walks and saw Maud Pie, "Are you Maudileena?" Ice Blower asked, "Yes, but you can just call me Maud." Maud Pie replied in a deadpan and stoic tone, "To be honest with you, Pinkamena, I'm not comfortable meeting her after meeting Limestone." Ice Blower said, "It's okay, Ice Blower, I promise I won't be confrontational, Limestone has always been the troublemaker." Maud Pie replied, Frosty comes home afterwards, "Oh, Maudileena, mother and father talked a lot about you." Frosty said, "Yes, I know, but please, just call me Maud, it's easier." Maud Pie replied, and the four get together, "Is it true that you, Pinkamena, and Marble answer to Limestone?" Ice Blower asked, "Yes, and while Limestone is our leader, I'm the second-in-command, she and I are the strongest mares in the family, but Limestone is stronger than me." Maud Pie replied, "How strong is she?" Frosty asked, "Trust us, very strong, she can kick an entire house down with one buck." Pinkie Pie replied, "Are you and Limestone twins, Maud?" Frosty asked, "No." Maud Pie replied, "I like this sister of yours, Pinkamena, I like how calm she is." Ice Blower said, "Is there a reason why you're like that, Maud?" Frosty asked, "I just choose to be this way." Maud Pie replied, and the four continue conversing until the day ended, Pinkie Pie and Maud Pie boarded the train and went home. Two days pass and it was Pinkie Pie's last day to help them, Ice Blower was not present because he was still asleep, "Thank you for helping us, Ice Blower has also partially gotten over his fear of mares because of you." Frosty said, "You're welcome, but my time's up, I have to help Limestone and Marble on the rock farm." Pinkie Pie replied, "Well, good luck, we'll give you ice when the summer comes, take care, Pinkamena." Frosty said, "Okay, bye." Pinkie Pie replied and she hugged Frosty, she boards the train and heads home while Frosty waves bye at her while smiling. Pinkie Pie finishes looking back with Maud Pie watching her, "I remember that day, too." Maud Pie said, who saw the whole flashback sequence in person, "I'm so excited for next week, I can't wait to go." Pinkie Pie replied, "Well, let's store it, and wait for the day to come." Maud Pie said, and they preserve the bridesmaid dress and continue with their days. A week passes and the day of the wedding came, Pinkie Pie was excited, she woke up Maud Pie, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Gummy, and Boulder, "The wedding's today, come on, let's get to the train before Rarity finds out what's going on and tries to make changes to my dress." Pinkie Pie said, and they all go, they board the train and saw Limestone Pie and Marble Pie were already on, Maud Pie informed them five days ago, Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz were there as well, the train goes to Southwestern Equestria and they get off. Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, Marble Pie, Carrot Cake, Cup Cake, Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Gummy, and Boulder go to the location of the wedding. Pinkie Pie got her bridesmaid dress on and stood to the right, the mare beside her had a blue coat, a sky blue wavy mane and tail, and icy blue eyes, her cutie mark was a light blue ice cube, she was wearing a sky blue dress that only went to her chest, the skirt went down to the floor, she had two light blue flowers in her mane, to her left was Frosty, who was wearing a white dress that covered her legs entirely, she had light blue sapphires everywhere in her dress, and two white flowers in her mane, the mare between Pinkie Pie and Frosty looked at Pinkie Pie with confusion, so did the crowd, "Who is she?" a crowd member murmured, the others responded with they did not know. Ice Blower was standing in front of Pinkie Pie and the two bridesmaids, the other side were the groomsponies, there were three of them, they all looked the same, they had white coats, blue manes and tails, and light blue eyes, they were all wearing black suits, they were earth ponies, Ice Blower had the same outfit on, the vow master was wearing the same outfit, he had a red coat, a light green mane and tail, and green eyes, he was also an earth pony. The bridal chorus plays and the bride walks down the balcony, she was an earth pony, had a white coat, a blue mane and tail, and light blue eyes, she was wearing a simple white wedding gown, she finishes walking and stood next to Ice Blower's left, "Today, we have the groom, Ice Blower, and the bride, Snowflake, and they did something different for their wedding, the bride chose the groomsponies, while the groom chose the bridesmaids, and they wish to label why they're important, the plaques for the groomsponies and bridesmaids are here on the pillow, please label them. Snowflake, you start first." the vow master said, and Snowflake puts gold plaques on the chest of the three groomsponies, "Father" the first plaque read, "Brother" the other two plaques read, "Everypony, I would like to say that my father here, Freeze, and my two big brothers, Igloo and Penguin, are the most important ponies in my life, and my mother, Blizzard, who is right there in the crowd." Snowflake said, her mother waved, she had a white coat, blue mane and tail, and light blue eyes, "Okay, Ice Blower, your turn to label the bridesmaids." the vow master said, "Before I begin, I would like for you to meet Pinkamena, you all already know Frosty and Snow, and unfortunately, my parents passed away years ago, so they couldn't be here today, I will now label my bridesmaids." Ice Blower said, and he takes the three gold plaques, he puts the first one on Frosty, "Sister" Frosty's plaque read, she smiled, Ice Blower then put the next plaque on Snow, "Best Friend" Snow's plaque read, which made Snow smile widely, Ice Blower then puts the last plaque on Pinkie Pie, "First Friend" Pinkie Pie's plaque read, surprising the others, and Pinkie Pie cried tears of joy, "As you all know, people say you have two important friends that are the most important, your boyfriend or girlfriend, and your best friend, to me, you have three most important friends, your romantic friend, your best friend, and the very first friend you make, I believe that your first friend is just as important as your boyfriend or girlfriend and your best friend. I had a fear of girls when I was younger, and through Frosty, Snowflake, and Snow, I've gotten over it, but my journey to get over my fear started with Pinkamena, she's the one who showed me that not all mares are mean, that is why I believe your first friend is just as important as your romantic friend and your best friend." Ice Blower said, and he turned around. Pinkie Pie looks and sees Mr. and Mrs. Cake were smiling, so were Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, Cloudy Quartz was crying tears of joy, Igneous Rock Pie just watched, Marble Pie was smiling, Maud Pie had an expressionless face, and Limestone Pie has fallen asleep. Pinkie Pie stands and watches Ice Blower, he and Snowflake say their vows, "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." the vow master said, and they do, which made everypony except for Maud Pie cheers, it scared Limestone Pie and woke her up, "So you're the one who started Ice Blower's journey, huh?" Snow asked, "Yup, he was just a colt when I met him, he used to scream and run away from me before he got comfortable." Pinkie Pie replied, Snow chuckled, "I must say, I'm surprised your appearance hasn't changed a bit, Pinkamena." Frosty said, "Neither have you, and Ice Blower only got taller and bigger, other than that, he looks the same, too." Pinkie Pie replied, Ice Blower walks to Pinkie Pie and they hug one another, "Glad you could make it." Ice Blower said, "It's great to be here, my family's here too." Pinkie Pie replied, Ice Blower looks and sees them, along with the Cake family, Gummy, and Boulder, "I don't recall your family being that big." Ice Blower said, "Well, those are my parents, Gummy and Boulder are our pets, and I work at a confectionary store in Ponyville now, that's the Cake family, they consider me a daughter of theirs." Pinkie Pie replied, "Wait, you have two families?" Ice Blower asked, Pinkie Pie nods, "Ice Blower, come on, the party's about to start." Snowflake said, and Ice Blower goes to her. The party begins and Pinkie Pie takes her party cannon out, it shot out the things a wedding party would have, surprising everypony except her family and the Cake family. Ice Blower, Frosty, Snow, Snowflake, Freeze, Blizzard, Igloo, Penguin, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, Marble Pie, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Carrot Cake, Cup Cake, Pound Cake, and Pumpkin Cake gathered around, they were playing truth or dare, and Maud Pie dared Limestone Pie to wear a dress, "No! I am not wearing a dress!" Limestone Pie said angrily, "Enough resisting, miss grumpy, it's a game, you have to wear the dress." Pinkie Pie replied, "NOOOOOOOO!!" Limestone Pie said as a simple white, sleeveless, floor-length dress was put on her, she blushed as she wore it, "I must admit, you do look pretty cute." Snow said, "I am currently having the worst time of my life right now." Limestone Pie said, the others chuckle and they keep partying at the wedding until it ends. Pinkie Pie and Maud Pie got home at night with the Cake family and they were tired, they went to sleep and Pinkie Pie dreamt about Ice Blower, happy that he has completely gotten over his fear.
