Chapter 2: My Friend
Early the next morning, before the Celestia's sun began to peek over the mountains and light up Ponyville, a pink pony was bouncing her way in the moonlight to Sweet Apple Acres. With a smile on her face and who knows what crazy ideas in her head, she hopped up to the porch of the Apple family's house. She knocked a few times, but no answer. The mare decided to go in via a window.
The pink pony got up onto the awning of the house and looked through one of the windows. She came to the conclusion that it was the correct room. Opening the window, she climbed through and trotted over to the bed where a red stallion was sleeping.
She carefully leaned in to look at the pony before she abruptly and suddenly spoke at a loud volume, "Hiya~, Big Mac! Are you ready for your super-duper fun day?!"
Startled awake, Big Mac jolted back in his bed and eventually fell off the bed and landed on the wooden floor. Finally making sense of what just happened, the stallion looked at the figure in his room, "Uh….Miss Pinkie Pie?"
"Howdy!" she said with a giggle.
"How did ya get in mah room?" he asked, puzzled.
"Through the window, silly! But enough about those little details, are you ready for your super-duper fun day?!" Pinkie repeated her original question.
Big Mac had to process the question before coming up with an answer, "Ah guess so, since ah'm already up an' all."
Clapping her hooves together, Pinkie was excited, "Yay~!"
Leading the pink mare downstairs, Big Mac stopped in the kitchen to get something for breakfast for the two of them.
"Are you excited for today? 'Cause I was excited, and I'm still excited! In fact, I'm getting more excited by the second! Like this second here, I've never been more excited then this second! No, this second! This second isn't as exciting as the last. Oh, so far so good on this second! Yay!" Pinkie Pie's energy seemed to be at its peak already so early in the morning.
This led to Big Mac tossing her an apple, so she could eat something, but to also get her to calm down slightly. It didn't help. "Ooo! An apple! Thank you, Big Mac!" Taking a bite of the fruit, she continued talking while chewing, "What's your favorite type of apple? Mine is red delicious! Ooo, but I also like granny smith apples too with their sourness-ness! But I also like gala apples! Surprisingly, there weren't any gala apples at the Grand Galloping Gala. You would think they would, right?"
As soon as the mare finished speaking, Big Mac finally was able to reply, "Eeyup."
"That's why I like you, Big Mac! You always know what to say!" Pinkie said, chewing the last part of her apple and swallowing it, "Now, are you ready for our super-ee-duper-ee exciting day?"
"Eeyup," the staillion replied, "What exactly do ya have planned fer us?"
A sly smile appeared on Pinkie's face, "That's for me to know and you to find out!"
Big Mac raised an eyebrow at Pinkie's cryptic answer, "Alright then, lead the way then, Miss Pinkie Pie."
With a spring in her step, Pinkie did just that. The two ponies exited the Apple family's home. The beams of light from Celestia's sun began to shine over the mountains in the distance, lighting up the landscape more and more with each passing moment. Pinkie led the way for Big Mac to follow by bouncing.
After an hour of following Pinkie's hopping, he gave up trying to figure out what they were going to do. Finally, Pinkie Pie stopped and exclaimed, "We're here!"
"An' where is here?" Big Mac asked, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings around him. It was a meadow that seemed to be very far away from any civilization.
Pinkie Pie didn't answer. Instead, she began to roll randomly on the grass. After giggling and snorting multiple times, she urged Big Mac to join in, "Come on, Big Mac! It's fun!"
"Ah'm quite fine, thank you," the red pony insisted.
"Fine, if you are going to be like that…." Pinkie got to her hooves and then ran at Big Mac and pouncing on him, tackling him to the ground. The two rolled for a bit until they came to a stop, both of them lying their backs among the grass.
While Big Mac was astonished that he was just attacked, Pinkie playfully giggled at what just happened, "See, isn't that much better?"
While he was just about to object, the stallion had to admit that Pinkie's impulsiveness did give him a pleasant adrenaline rush and the grass tickled his back. "Eeyup" he answered.
"Eeyup," Pinkie mimicked Big Mac's voice before giggling and snorting, "I really like how you say that! And it's so fun to say!" The pink mare then began to roll down the slight slope. Puzzling the red stallion, Pinkie shouted, "Yay! Grass!"
With a sigh, Big Mac followed suit and rolled down the slope as well. What surprised him was not how much the grass tickled him as he rolled down, or how Pinkie Pie was completely fine when he accidently rolled into her, but how good it felt to just relax.
"Having fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, looking down at the red stallion who was still lying on the grass.
"Eeyup," Big Mac truthfully stated with a smile.
The mare happily clapped her hooves together, "Yay! Mission completed!"
For the rest of the day, the two ponies continued playing in the meadow like a couple of schoolponies at recess.
