Another Summer with the Enchantimals

by Brian Sheil


5. A swinging time with Mika Monkey

Pinkie Pie walks to the lake near Sweet Apple Acres. Wearing a backpack, she thinks about what went down at her own home.

Flashback

Pinkie sits on her bed with tears in her eyes. She's been brought down by Harshwinny so bad.
"Pinkie!" Igneous Rock Pie called out. "May I have a word with you?"
Pinkie came downstairs to speak with her father. "What did I do wrong, dad?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, my dear. I have some good news."
The party girl wiped the tears from her eyes. "Huh?"
"I received a call from Granny Smith at Sweet Apple Acres." Igneous explained. "She heard of the situation at your school. She and I felt that a swim at the lake near her home might help you relax."
"Is Applejack going to be there?"
"No. She, Big Macintosh, and Apple Bloom are spending time at a farmer's festival in town. But, I put out a call to somebody so you can have company. Trust me, dear. You'll love this companion."

End of Flashback

After finding a place to change into her swimsuit, Pinkie looks at the lake.
Maybe dad is right. Pinkie thought. A cool swim is just what I need on a day like this. But, where's this companion he's talking about?"
Suddenly, Pinkie heard something from the trees near the lake area. She was spotted by a pink sinned girl with light purple hair. She wore a sleeveless yellow dress with coconut designs. Her noticeable features are two monkey type ears and long brown tail.
"Hello, Pinkie Pie." The girl greeted as she jumped down to meet her.
"EEEEEEEEE!" Pinkie happily squealed. "Mika Monkey!"
The two girls hugged each other. Then, a thought came to Pinkie. "Did my dad call you to meet me?"
"He did." Mika replied. "He said something about the vicious Miss Harshwhinny."
"You know Harshwhinny?"
"Everybody at Everwilde knows her. What did she do to you?"
Pinkie gave a sad explanation. "Miss Harshwhinny cracked down on me and my friends. She said that my party planning is not admired. For someone like me, that's a horrifying insult."
Mika felt sad for Pinkie, and comforted her. "That woman is just blowing hot air. And, the best way to deal with hot air is to cool off. That's why we're here."
Minutes later, Pinkie was at a rope swing waiting for Mika. The visitor from Junglewood stepped out wearing a magenta long sleeved swimsuit.
"Nice looking swimsuit." Pinkie praised. "I heard that kind is getting popular."
"I know." Mika replied. "It almost looks like a leotard girls wear in gymnastics."
A brown monkey came along, and climbed onto Pinkie's shoulder.
"Hi, Swing." Pinkie greeted. "I wondered when you'd show up."
Mika made an announcement. "Okay, party girl! Let's see what you got!"
After Swing got off Pinkie's shoulder, Pinkie grabbed the rope, and used it to swing across the lake. She then lets do, and splashed in the water.
"Now, that's impressive." Mika said. "Time for us to make a splash too."
As Pinkie started to swim, she spotted Mika and Swing in the trees. They were swinging from tree to tree. Just then, they dived into the water. They splashed near Pinkie. Needless to say, the party girl was pleasantly surprised.
"You guys are a lot of fun." Pinkie cheered. "My friends would like you."
Later, the two friends sat on a blanket Pinkie brought along, looking at the lake.
"This is the kind of scenery that my friends would love." Mika praised.
"I'm sure they would." Pinkie replied. "Applejack would be proud to be your guide."
"From what I heard, so would Fluttershy."
Pinkie, Mika, and Swing continue to enjoy their day.
