At the Pie family home, everybody was starting to get worried. 
“I wish Pinkie wasn’t embarrassed during our trip to the grocery store.” Marble said with concern.
“Indeed.” Igneous Rock replied. “The way Miss Harshwinny talked down to her would embarrass anybody.”
“Where’d Pinkie go to anyway.” Limestone wondered.
“I heard that she’s heading for the forest at Canterlot State Park.”
Cloudy Quartz soon got on the phone and put out a call to someone. “Hello, this is Cloudy Quartz. I’d like you to do me a favor.”
At the forest near the park, Pinkie was sitting on the ground, crying like crazy.
“I hate that Miss Harshwinny!” Pinkie sobbed as her hair deflates. “Why does she do this to me?!”
Just then, a fluffy squirrel came along and looked at the teary eyed party girl.
“Hi there.” Pinkie sadly greeted. 
Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind, and tied her hands behind her back. Then, Pinkie was pushed to the ground as her ankles were tied together. She was then turned around as a female voice was calling her.
“Pinkie!” The voice said. “Pinkie! Snap out of it.”
Pinkie slowly opened her eyes and saw a girl with brown skin and flowing purple hair. When she saw that girl had light tan around her eyes and a squirrelly tail, she was surprised.
“Wowee wow!” Pinkie shouted. “Sancha Squirrel!”
“Nice to meet you too, Pinkie.” Sancha replied.
Pinkie Pie is still very sad. Sancha hopes to cheer her up.
“You’re mother called me and told me the whole story.” Sancha said. “Sounds like Miss Harshwinny is a hot head.”
“That’s putting It mildly.” Pinkie said, trying to feel better. “While we were shopping, she came to me and said that my parties are not proper.”
“Not proper?!” Sancha gasped. “Even we of Everwilde think you’re great in the party department.”
Pinkie was soon nuzzled by the very squirrel she met earlier.
“Wait a minute.” Pinkie realized. “You’re Sancha’s Little friend: Stumper!”
The squirrel nodded happily. Soon, Pinkie’s hair poofed up.
“I see that Stumper made you feel better.” Sancha said.
“I guess so.” Pinkie said with relief.
“Anyway, I called your family. They’re on their way to pick you up.”
Pinkie felt a bit of relief. Later, Pinkie was untied and went into the car where Limestone was sitting.
“You okay now, sis?” Limestone asked.
“I’m fine.” Pinkie answered. “Sorry if I got hysterical.”
“It’s not your fault.” Limestone places her arm around Pinkie’s shoulder. “You’d probably help Marble the same way Sancha helped you.”
Pinkie smiled knowing that Limestone. Meanwhile, Igneous Rock shook Sancha’s hand.
“Thank you for your help, Miss Squirrel.” Igneous Rock praised.
“You’re welcome.” Sancha responded. “I hope Pinkie will be okay.”
“Thanks to you and your friend: Stumper,” Cloudy Quartz said, “she will be.”
Soon, the Pie family headed for home, knowing Pinkie is feeling better.
