The sunlight cascaded through the window as the dawn of a Saturday morning beamed down upon you. You slowly began to stir awake as you got ahold of your bearings. You saw that you were still in Pinkies guest bedroom. You then remembered the events of last night. How you had given Pinkie Pie a good night by watching her favorite movies with her and the others.
You looked down to see the party girl snuggled up next to you with her head resting on your chest as she breathed lightly. You blushed for a bit before lightly shaking it away and you smiled down at her and gently petted her head. This started to make her stir in her sleep as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at you. She smiled when her eyes landed on your face.
"Good morning Nonny." She said in a tired voice. She sat up and stretched as you did the same.
"Good morning Pinkie. How'd you sleep?" You asked.
"Better than I've been since the past week and a half." She said while smiling at you. "Thank you for letting me sleep with you last night."
"It was my pleasure Pinkie. Now, what do you say that I fix us up some breakfast?" You proposed. Her stomach growls upon hearing that.
"Eh heh heh, I think that should answer your question." She chuckles before getting out of bed and going to her room to change. You got up and walked out the door and to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After some time has passed, breakfast was ready to eat: Pancakes with cut up strawberries and whipped cream with a side of bacon and sausage. It was all set up by the time Pinkie came out of her room in her usual outfit and sat down.
"This looks really good Nonny." She commented.
"Well hopefully it tastes as good as it looks." You joked as you sat down with your own plate. She takes a bite out of her food and she goes wide eyed for a moment before finishing her bite and speaking.
"This is really tasty Nonny" She says before taking another bite.
"Well I'm really glad that you like it Pinkie.” You said before taking a bite out of your own food.
“Thanks for making it.” She said politely.
“You’re welcome.” You responded. The two of you ate your food in relative silence and comfort before Pinkie spoke up.
“So Nonny, are there any activities that we’re doing today?” She asked in her Fluttershy-like voice.
“Well there is one thing, but you’ll have to wait and see.” You said before giving her a wink. She now had a curious look as she wanted to know what it was.
“Can you give me a hint?” She asked curiously. You shook your head to answer her question. She playfully groans at that before she resumed eating. When you finished eating, you put your utensils down and looked at her.
“I’ve gotta use the bathroom real quick. I’ll be back in a minute.” You said as you stood up.
“Alright.” She responded. You walked over to the bathroom and looked outside to see if Pinkie was listening before closing the door and grabbing your phone out of your pocket. You texted the girls to get ready for phase three: Bake a cake and throw her a party. They responded by saying that they’ll be ready as soon as possible.
You stepped out of the bathroom and saw that Pinkie had just got done with eating her breakfast. You walked over and grabbed both of your plates and started cleaning them.
“Why don’t you go ahead and get ready to go while I handle this?” You proposed. She nodded before going to the bathroom to freshen up. As you finished with the dishes, Pinkie emerged from the bathroom while you walked towards the door and opened it for her. She thanked you before heading out of the house with you following her.
After walking for some time, you and Pinkie made it to the mall. She looked at you with curiosity.
“The mall? What are we doing here?” She asked.
“Well I just figured that maybe you’d like to browse around here. Is that okay?” She thought for a few seconds before she nodded and you both proceeded inside.
Hours had passed before you and Pinkie were done browsing. You were currently on your way to your house since you had told Pinkie that you wanted to show her something. Plus, the girls texted you that they were now ready with everything which included both the cake and the festivities. With everything in place, the two of you had made your way to your house. You walked up to the front door and got out your key and unlocked it.
You opened it and allowed Pinkie to step inside first. There was a few seconds of silence before.....
”SURPRISE!!!”
Everyone screamed which startled Pinkie greatly at first before she had processed what happened. The entire living room was covered from head to toe in the usual stuff you would find at a party. You name it: Streamers, balloons, party cloths that covered every table, snacks, beverages, and the star of it all; a huge cake for everyone to share. All of the girls and even some of the other students from CHS were here as well which included Flash Sentry, Bulk Biceps, Sandalwood, Micro Chips, Sunsets boyfriend, even Zephyr Breeze was here much to the dismay of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
Pinkie stood there in complete shock for a few moments before she spoke.
“W-wha-what’s all of this for?” She asked in a surprised tone of voice.
“Why for you sugarcube! We wanted to throw ya a surprise party to cheer ya up even more.” Applejack answered to which everyone else agreed to. Pinkie smiled at the sweet surprise which resulted in you looking at her with bated breath to see if she would be snapped back to normal from this..............but she didn’t.
“Thank you guys. Thank you all so much.” She said in her whisper voice that she’s been doing lately. Your eyes widened. You couldn’t honestly believe what was happening. Why wasn’t she reverting to her bubbly self again? Was all of this not enough? Was she somehow still hurting in someway? You were absolutely certain that this would have been the thing to bring the old Pinkie back, but nothing happened. You put on a forced smile before she was able to turn around and give you a hug.
“Thank you too Nonny. This was really thoughtful.” She said before joining the party with everyone who were just as shocked as you were on the inside, but they didn’t show it. Instead, they started the party anyways. You stood there in the doorway just utterly stupefied by what just happened before Rainbow came up and whispered to you.
“I don’t get it. Wasn’t she supposed to go back to her old self again?” She asked.
“She was. I don’t understand. I guess she must still be upset in some way. Normally, something like this would have instantly cheered her up, but right now....I don’t know.” You whispered back. Rainbow grew a worried look before you and her joined the party with the best smiles you could muster.
One Hour Later
The party was still going as the party goers were chatting amongst themselves about school or other things. Some which included you, your friends, and some other students couldn’t help but be worried about Pinkie Pie. This was supposed to help her be her normal happy self once more but for some reason it didn’t work. You stared at Pinkie as she was talking to some of the other students before Sunset got your attention by snapping her fingers in front of your face.
“Hey, are you okay?” She asked. You shook your head.
“No, I’m not okay Sunset. I think Pinkies still going through her depression. This whole plan to do all of these things for her should have done the trick.” You said worriedly. She nodded before looking at Pinkie.
“I’m just as stumped as you are right now. This should have been it, but I guess not. Some wounds take time to heal. Just like how my boyfriend had to go through so much healing in order to be able to live again for his friends. Maybe it’s the same way with Pinkie.” She surmised. You understood her logic somewhat, but you mostly couldn’t help but disagree with her. You’ve known Pinkie since freshman year, something like this would have definitely been enough even when she was really, really sad at times. Something else was going on through her mind, you were sure of it, and you needed to know what it was. With your decision made, you walked over to Pinkie and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled at you.
“Hi Nonny.” She greeted.
“Pinkie is it okay if we talk for a bit?” You asked in a somewhat serious voice. She nodded before you lead her outside and onto the front porch. You both sat down on the steps before you looked at her.
“Pinkie, are you....having fun tonight?” You asked. She looked confused by your question.
“Well of course I am. Why wouldn’t I be?” She also asked.
“Well it’s....just that....I honestly thought that all we’ve done for you lately would have been the thing that would’ve made you your old happy self again, just like all those other times before. Are you still upset in some way? Was the party not enough?” You asked in a somewhat desperate voice. She was confused by this at first before she realized what you were talking about and she tried to reassure you.
“No, no! Nonny it’s not that. I really do appreciate everything you and the girls have done for me these past few days. Hanging out with me at lunch time and giving me all of those hugs and kind words, watching my favorite movies with me, and even throwing me this amazing party has all been great. I really can’t thank you enough for all of this.....it’s just that...” She trailed off as if lost in thought. You looked at her with a desperate and curious look.
“It’s just what?” You asked. She keeps looking away and at you for a few moments before taking a deep breath and looked at you.
“I guess....a part of me still wants to know why. Why did Golden Shine break up with me in the first place? Was it something I did? Was it something on his part? I don’t know.” She confessed. It was then that you finally understood what she was going through. She wanted to know if it was her fault or not. You looked back at her after you were done with your current train of thought.
“So, if you were able to figure out why he broke up with you, then would you be able to move on?” You inquired.
“Well.....maybe.” She answered. You looked off into the starry night sky with newfound determination. You were going to find Golden Shine on Monday and demand him to tell you why he did this. You had to do this for Pinkies sake. You were so busy thinking and staring off into space that you didn’t notice at first that Pinkie was calling out to you.
“Nonny? Hello? Are you alright?” She asked which snapped you out of your trance.
“Y-Yeah Pinkie, I’m fine.” You answered. “How about we go back inside before everyone starts getting curious as to where we are?” You proposed. She nodded before following you back inside. You left Pinkie to do her own thing while you went off to find your friends Flash and Bulk. You found them chatting with each other and you walked up to them and they took notice of you.
“Hey Anon. This is a nice party you got here.” Flash complimented.
“YEAH!! It’s great!” Bulk added.
“Thanks, but listen guys. I need your help with something on Monday.” You said. They looked at each other before looking back at you.
“With what?” They said in unison.
After hours of partying, it was now nighttime. The party was over and everyone was heading home. You waved everyone goodbye until there was just you, Pinkie, and the girls. They had volunteered to help you with cleaning up everything. You told them that you could have done it yourself but they insisted on it. It only took a few minutes because surprisingly there wasn’t too much to clean besides the occasional empty cup on the floor. After the house was cleaned up, Pinkie and the girls were just about to leave before you said something.
“Pinkie, you go ahead and go back home, I wanna speak to the girls for a little bit.” She looked at you curiously before agreeing.
“Okay, I’ll see you later Nonny.” She gave you a hug before heading out the door. You turned to the girls with a serious expression.
“Ah don’t get it. The plan shoulda worked.” Applejack said.
“It definitely should have AJ. But why didn’t it?” Rainbow asked.
“I know the reason girls.” You spoke up which got everyones attention. “She’s still upset because a part of her wants to know why Golden Shine broke up with her. She told me herself after I asked her.”
“So that’s it then darling? We just have to figure out why and then Pinkie will be okay again?” Rarity asked. You shook your head in response.
“No. I don’t think it’s going to be that simple Rarity. Even if she finds out, she’s still probably going to be very upset afterwards, and I don’t know what to do if that happens.” You said feeling down ridden. The girls came up to you and gave you a group hug.
“Well hopefully one of us can find out soon.” Fluttershy said. You were already intending to find out for yourself but you chose to say nothing about it before breaking the hug and saying your goodbyes to the girls. They left before you started getting ready for bed. Your parents were working late so you texted them goodnight to which they said the same thing. You got into bed and slowly drifted off while having thoughts about Pinkie.
