//------------------------------// // Sisterhooves Social // Story: Pinkie's sister // by applejack2357 //------------------------------// “Spike, wake up! Hurry! She’s gonna be here soon!” Twilight nudges Spike with her muzzle. He opens his eyes and yawns. He looks up at Twilight, who has a massive smile on her face. “Who’s gonna be here soon?” Spike says. Twilight’s smile disappears. “Come on, Spike. My sister? The one who comes to visit once a month for a week?” Spike’s eyes shoot open. He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. He loves when Twilight’s sister comes to visit. They always have so much fun together. “If he could only have that much enthusiasm when it’s more important,” Twilight said to herself. She shook her head and went down the stairs. Halfway down, she noticed the chaos of Spike cleaning up. After about half a minute, the entire tree house was spick and span. “All done, Twilight,” Spike said, panting, “When is she going to get here?” “Soon.” “Okay. I’m gonna get a glass of water…” Spike left the room. Twilight sat on her couch and picked up a book. Before she could start reading, there was a knock at the door. With a smile, Twilight ran to the door. She opened the door. “Twilight!” “Beachberry!” Twilight said. Beachberry enters the tree house and sits on the couch. Her coat is pink, kind of like Pinkie Pie, but a brighter pink. Her mane and tail are orange with pink and purple highlights. She is also a unicorn and a mare. Her eyes are bright green, and her Cutie Mark is a yellow flower. She throws her saddlebag on the couch and heaves a heavy sigh. “What a long trip” Beachberry says, throwing her head back. “Speaking of trips, how is Saddle Arabia?” Twilight says, picking up Beachberry’s saddlebag with her magic and hanging it up. She can’t stand a mess. “Well, we finally finished that orphanage we’ve been building for the past couple months. We were able to bring in lots of kids off the streets.” “I really envy you, Beachberry. It must be great to go out and help others.” “I’m sure it’s better than being the town librarian,” Beachberry says with a grin. Twilight smiles and nudges Beachberry on the arm with her hoof. Spike come back in the room and see Beachberry and smiles. “Hi, Beachberry!” “Oh, hey, Spike. How are ya?” “I’m good. You?” “I’m pretty good.” “Oh! Spike, before I forget…” She levitates her saddlebag to herself and reaches inside. She pulls out a gift-wrapped box and tosses it to Spike. “I got you something.” “I’ll be sure to open it later,” He runs upstairs. “Well, you ready to go, Beachberry?” Twilight says, watching Spike go up the steps. “You bet!” She gets up and walks to the door. After hanging up her Beachberry’s saddlebag again, she follows Beachberry out the door. *** “Oh, darling, it’s simply marvelous to see you again” Rarity says as her sister walks in the door. Her sister’s coat is teal and her mane and tail is a darker pink, compared to Pinkie Pie. Her eyes are blue and her cutie mark is a pink flower. She is also a unicorn. “I always love visiting you, Rarity. It’s the highlight of my entire month.” “Why, thank you, Gardenia. Oh, I heard your flower orchard has become the most famous in Manehattan. “It certainly has. Of course, this is me we’re talking about, now. And I’ve heard your dresses have become the most famous through Ponyville and Canterlot.” “Really? Canterlot, too? That’s great! It’s always wonderful to see my business growing. I’ve got a couple clients down in Manehattan, but not many, considering it’s so far away.” “I’m sure your business will become famous throughout all of Equestria, dear.” “And I’m sure your orchard will do the same.” They hug and walk out of the Boutique. *** “Rainbow? Rainbow, open up!” Rainbow slowly opens the door. She gasps and shuts the door. “Oh, no. She was coming today?” “Uh, yeah,” she heard through the door, “I come every month, Rainbow.” Rainbow looks around her home. It’s an absolute pigsty. Within half a second, she opens the door, flies out and shuts the door behind her. “H-hey, Sweetsong.” “Hey, Rainbow.” Sweetsong’s coat is bright lavender, while her mane and tail are pink. Her eyes are light blue and her cutie mark is a mandolin. She is a Pegasus. Rainbow noticed she had bags with her. “Can I take your bags for you?” “I would rather come inside and see your home for once. You never let me in there. I don’t like sleeping in the tent every time.” “Later.” “Oh, all right. Just be careful with my mandolin. Last time I let you handle my things, you broke the neck.” Rainbow takes Sweetsong’s things and goes back inside and sets them on her bed. She then goes back outside and they fly off. *** “It’s nice to see you again, Fluttershy.” “Same here, Skywishes.” “Skywishes enters Fluttershy’s cottage and sets her saddlebags in the corner. She looked nervously at the bear that was right next to her. Skywishes’ coat is pink and her mane and tail are purple with a darker pink highlight. Her eyes are green and her cutie mark is a kite. She is also a Pegasus. “How, uh, how are the animals doing Fluttershy?” She said, not taking her eyes off the bear “Oh, they’re just wonderful! How is your life on the road?” “It’s great…” She continued to stare at the bear. “Are you ready to go? I mean, if you’re not ready, that’s fine, but…” “No, no. I’m ready to go.” She flew out the door quickly. Fluttershy walked out the door and shut it behind her. *** “Applejack!” Granny Smith yelled, “She’s here!” Applejack ran up to the barn and ran inside. “Hey, Coconut!” “Applejack, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Coco?” She said. “Oh, I remember, I just say your full name to mess with you.” Coco’s coat is white, and her mane and tail is purple with yellow highlights in her mane and yellow and green highlights in her tail. She has blue eyes and her cutie mark is a pie. “Well, please stop doing that. It really is annoying.” “How’s the pie shop in Manehattan?” “It’s doing good. How’s the apple farm?” “Well, it’s been better. We got some critters running around and stealing our apples. Those thieving varmints…” “Why don’t you wire your yard?” “I would, but I have to go to the mayor, she has to file paperwork, then I have to buy the wire from her, which implies more paperwork, and… ah, it’s just a pain. Well we’d better get going, Coco.” They walk out of the barn. *** Pinkie leans on her counter as she watches her friends come in. Twilight Sparkle and Beachberry… Rarity and Gardenia Glow… Rainbow Dash and Sweetsong… Fluttershy and Skywishes… Applejack and Coconut Cream. Her thought overwhelmed with the fact that she didn’t have a sister to hang out with. Her stepsisters, Inkie and Blinkie, both moved cross-country to some place called ‘Texas’… She has never heard of the place before or seen it on a map, so she was never able to find them. She put her face in her arms. “Pinkie, are you okay?” Twilight asked. Pinkie looked up to see all of them looking at her. “Yeah, I’m fine…” “Why is she so upset Twilight?” Rainbow piped up from behind her. “I haven’t the slightest clue, but every month she just seems to get sadder and sadder…” “It’s because I don’t have a sister to hang out with, like the rest of you…” “Hmm…” Twilight began leaving the Corner. “Hey, Twilight, where you going?” Beachberry asked. “I’ll be right back. I’ll meet you at the tree.” *** “This is wonderful!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, “I swear, Coco, your pies get better every year!” Coco blushes slightly. “Thanks.” “Hey, has Twilight showed up yet?” Beachberry asked. No, not yet.” Rarity said. Beachberry sighs. She was really looking forward to this. “Hey, everypony!” Everyone looks in the direction of the voice to see Twilight trotting with… somepony. “Who’s that, Twilight?” Rainbow asked. “Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie looks up at Twilight, then over to the other pony. “Twilight, who’s that?” Pinkie asked. “Pinkie,” Twilight started, “Meet your biological sister, Peachy Pie.”
