Pinkie ran home and jumped into her bed, giving a good hour or so to cry her eyes out. Eventually, she sat up and thought about Twilight. Maybe she was right. Maybe it would be hard to manage a relationship with her being a princess. Maybe it would’ve brought more hardship than happiness. Pinkie’s thoughts slowly lulled into dreamlike nonsense as she fell asleep.
Twilight didn’t get much sleep that night. She felt sick over what had happened. She didn’t know what to do.
Spike decided to leave Twilight alone the next day. There was a knock at the castle door. As Spike was about to go get it, Twilight was already on her way. She opened the door, completely expecting to see a mail-pony or something of the sort but the moment she saw Pinkie standing there, wide smile as her usual self, she collapsed into hugging her and started crying. “I’m so sorry!” Twilight sobbed out before Pinkie could get a word in. “I don’t know what to do! I’m sorry!” she cried.
Pinkie patted her head. “It’s okay. I forgive you.” Twilight looked up to her, tears staining her face. “You do?” Pinkie nodded. “I’m sorry I overreacted. I understand what you mean now.” Pinkie told.
Twilight had a shaky sigh of relief and hugged Pinkie again. “I guess it was the wrong place and wrong time.” Twilight said hoarsely, trying to make it sound lighthearted but it felt as painful as it sounded. Pinkie Pie nodded. “Yup.” she simply replied with.
The mares embraced for a few minutes until Pinkie broke the hug and kissed Twilight tenderly on the cheek before saying, “Friends?” and holding out her hoof. Twilight slowly nodded and took Pinkie’s hoof. “Friends.”
For the rest of the day they spent time together without any awkwardness crushing them. Just like any old friends, as if nothing has happened between the two of them.
Of course it took a few weeks but, the wounds healed and they resumed their normal lives, not telling any of their friends what had happened.
After a while, Pinkie got with Cheese Sandwich. It was totally predictable, but they were happy together. They spent their days together as Twilight evolved into an alicorn more and more and looked on to them, watching them grow a happy family.
“Guys, guess what?” Pinkie had asked to all her friends as she called them to a group meeting at Sugarcube Corner. She was sitting next to her husband, Cheese Sandwich as he lay his hoof around her.
“What?” they all ask in their own ways.
“I’m..” There was a pause for dramatic effect. “pregnant!” She eventually spit out.
