//------------------------------// // Chapter Three // Story: A Life Filled With Pink // by My Only Weakness //------------------------------// Chapter Three Pinkie hasn't let go of you ever since you told her your little tale... that was half an hour ago. She placed you on her lap with both hooves wrapped around you and her chin is resting on the top of your head. You didn't mind the soft and cuddly embrace of the pink pony, but there were times when she would squeeze you too tight because she was losing her grip and she didn't want to let go of you. "Umm... P-Pinkie" you say trying to look up at her but her chin was on your head. "Yes, my little Silver Wilver?" Pinkie chants happily, rhyming whatever would go with your name. "C-Can you um.. let go of me p-please?" you ask. "Awww, but don't you like cuddles from your Auntie Pinkie Pie?" "N-No, its that y-you're squeezing me too tight" you choke out. "Oh you mean like this?" Pinkie says with a playful tone. She starts to squeeze into a tighter hug. When her hug got a little too tight, you let out a little squeak, a squeak that would be heard from a cuddly toy. Heat starts to form in your cheeks as they burn brightly. Pinkie stops squeezing you and looks around the room. She then looks down to you in confusion. "Was that you?" Pinkie questions. You respond with a nod. "That was SO cute" she continues then squeezing you again so you make another squeak. Pinkie giggles, ending with a snort. "You are like a little squeaky ducky." "Pinkie" Mrs. Cake says entering the room. "You don't want to crush the poor colt." Pinkie lets go of you and you jump out of her lap, landing on the kitchen floor gasping for air. "Ooh, Ooh, Ooh" Pinkie says catching your attention as she bounces on the chair. "How could I forget? I need to introduce you to my friends!" she continues with her signature smile on her face. Your eyes widen as she says this. "D-Do you h-have t-to?" you ask nervously. "Uh huh, since you're going to be staying with us, you're going to meet them sooner or later" Pinkie exclaims cheerfully then, noticing how uneasy you are, she gets down to your level. "Hey don't worry, my friends are SUPER nice! They wouldn't hurt you." You take a deep breath and look up at Pinkie with a little smile. "Okay." She gives another smile and gets back onto her hooves. Pinkie suddenly becomes wide-eyed and starts to fire a barrage of words. "Oh oh oh oh oh! We should throw a PARTY!" As soon as she says that single word, streamers explode behind her. You tilt your head and look at her with bewilderment and she just shrugs and smiles, then continues what she was saying. "That way you could meet all of my friends at once and it will be your 'Welcome to Ponyville' and 'Adopted by the One and Only Pinkie Pie' Party! and EVERYPONY is invited!" "NO!" you shout then crawl into a ball. "I don't want to meet everypony." "Oh" Pinkie's expression lowers slightly but she gives another smile. "Okay that's fine. It is YOUR party after all." Pinkie walks out of the kitchen but then turns to you before she walks out. "Why don't you stay here with Mrs. Cake while I get everything set and then invite my friends, okay?" she asks. "O-Okay" you reply, still on the floor curled in a little ball. Pinkie's bright and happy smile slaps onto her face and then she bounces upstairs. You get out of your little ball and stand in the kitchen looking down at the floor once again. "Silver Wave, dear" Mrs. Cake chimes from behind you. You turn your head towards her and look to see her standing near the oven. "Could you help me with these please?" she asks in a soft and caring voice. You nod your head slightly and walk towards her. She opens the oven and pulls out a tray with cupcakes on them. "Now be careful these might be a little hot" she explains and then places the cupcake tray on your head. You balance the tray on your head perfectly and then look at Mrs. Cake who has an impressed look on her face that makes you smile. "Now take these to the front counter and then come back here." You turn around and head towards the door of the kitchen while trying to keep the tray on your head. You start to get closer and closer to the door when suddenly you trip over a lonely streamer that was stranded in the middle of the floor. You fall onto the kitchen floor and the tray of cupcakes come crashing down loudly. You turn around to Mrs. Cake and then crawl into a little ball again and give her a very afraid look. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me..." you cry out, trying to hide your face. "Now why would I hurt you over a little mistake?" Mrs. Cake asks in a motherly voice as she trots over to you. "Because I did something wrong, and I get hit whenever I do something wrong" you say burying your face in your hooves. "Silver" begins Mrs. Cake then picking you up onto your hooves. "I'm not going to hurt you." You wipe the tears away from your face and look up to the blue mare. "Y-You're not?" "Of course not, I would never lay a hoof on a young pony" Mrs. Cake says then wipes one tear off your face then giving you a sweet smile. A worried yellow stallion bursts through the door and quickly ask, "What happened? Is everything alright?" "Yes dear, everything is fine. We just had a little spill that's all" Mrs. Cake explains, looking at her husband. He looks down to see splattered cupcakes on the floor. He gives out a sigh of relief and then looks at you. "Okay looks like we're going to have to get this cleaned up" he says, walking to a cupboard. Mr. Cake pulls out a some cleaning materials and walks over to the sugary mess. He hooves over a mop and bucket to you. "I-I'm sorry" you shyly say, looking up at him with tears in your eyes. "It's alright Silver, I've spilled cupcakes on the floor as well" he jokes. "You mean last week?" his wife chimes in with a playful expression on her face. You give a little chuckle and start to clean up some of the mess. As you clean up, you can hear some hoofsteps and voices going up the stairs. Probably just Pinkie preparing the party, you think to yourself. Mr. Cake and you finish cleaning up the cupcake mess and place the cleaning objects back into the cupboard. "I must say Silver you really made that floor shine" Mr. Cake says, smiling down at you. "T-Thanks." "I've never seen my face so clear in a floor before. Who taught you how to do that so quick?" he asks "T-The orphanage would make us clean the floor once every week" you reply while sulking down. Mr. Cake gave a disgust look. You know it's not towards you, he was disgusted by the idea of the foal labor. You hear some bouncing coming from down the stairs and then into the kitchen. Pinkie glances over at you and continues to bounce towards you. "Come on, let's go" she chants. "W-Where are we going?" you ask. "To your party silly!" Pinkie replies, complete with a giggle. "Don't just stand there silly filly... er, colt. Come with me!" she continues and grabs you by the hoof, then turns around and you two trot out of the kitchen. You trot with her up the stairs and she stops in front of her bedroom door. She opens the door and lets you go in first. The room was decorated with balloons, streamers and all sorts of party stuff. You walk into the middle of the room and then suddenly... "SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!" seven different voices shout from different sides of the room. You look around the room to see three pegasi, three unicorns and three earth ponies. You didn't notice it before but there was a banner hung in the room which read 'WELCOME TO PONYVILLE SILVER WAVE!'. You stand in the middle of the room in shock. "AWW YEAH! We got him good!" a tomboyish cyan pegasus exclaims. "Silver Wave these are my friends: Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy along with Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom" Pinkie says, pointing to each one as she introduces them. The next thing you know, there is a yellow blur that tackles you into a hug. You're held in a tight hug in the middle of the room by this pink maned pegasus. "I'm sorry about the life you've lived. Nopony should've gone through the life that you have" she say as her hug got tighter. You look over at Pinkie and give her a hurt expression and say "You told them?!" with shock and sadness in your voice. She nods her head. "Don't worry they're not gonna tell anypony else, right girls?" Everypony in the room nods there head with a smile including the pony who still has you in a tight squeeze. "But I didn't-" You where cut off by you being squeezed so tightly that you make another squeak. The whole room was instantly filled with 'AWWW's. "I didn't know that could happen" giggles the marshmallow-like unicorn. "I know, isn't it cute!" exclaims Pinkie with her trademark smile. "Do it again" the rainbow pony yells out. Another squeeze and the squeak comes from your throat and the room starts to fill with giggles. "Anyway..." Pinkie starts while grabbing a cannon from nowhere. Pinkie prepares the cannon and gives an excited expression. "LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!"
