"I guess it's getting kind of late." Twilight looked up to the sky to see that Celestia's sun was beginning to set. "Hm. It seems to be." Rarity looked up from Applejack to confirm. The friends hadn't even noticed how long they had been telling stories. Time had flew by so fast, it felt as if they had just gotten there. Rainbow Dash stretched her wings as she began to sit up on her hooves. She yawned slightly and then she turned to help Fluttershy up as well. "I guess I should be getting home." Rainbow said as she turned to Fluttershy. "Home? Oh....right." Fluttershy quickly interpreted what Rainbow meant by "home". "Well....." Rainbow looked back towards her four remaining friends. "I guess we will be leaving now. See you guys later?" Rainbow asked as she started to flap her wings, prepping them for flight. "Sure." Twilight reassured as she noticed her two pegasi friends were in quite a hurry. She nearly gagged at the thoughts her mind was throwing at her in the explanation of the two's rushing behavior. "I should be off as well. I need to go to Opal." Rarity got up as her two other friends flew off in the direction of Fluttershy's cottage. She puffed at her mane slightly as if trying to fix any stray hairs that were possibly floating around unattended. "Of course." Twilight answered back to her unicorn friend. "Thank you again for the picnic, Pinkie Pie. It was lovely." Rarity said her farewells as she started off only to be quickly reunited with Applejack who was now following behind her. "Uh...yeah! See ya guys later!" Applejack called out as she caught up with the white unicorn. Twilight could hear the two laughing lovingly as they trotted off towards town. She smiled slightly as she turned to Pinkie Pie who was now starting to pack all her things into a basket. "Need any help?" Twilight asked as she remembered she had nothing to rush home to. Spike was suppose to be taking care of things back at the library and he had Owlicious to help him out as well, so Twilight had no need to run off in a hurry. "Sure!" Pinkie smiled as she let her friend help her pack her things together. "It was a nice day to have a picnic...and all the stories were nice to hear too." Twilight began as she tried to small talk with her happy-go-lucky friend. It wasn't really like Twilight, but she couldn't help but feel like she was left out of the whole discussion earlier as her friends reminisced about their childhoods together and how they were able to find love within each other. It was nice to know and learn about, Twilight would agree, but she couldn't help but feel the slightest bit upset. She wasn't able to give any story to her friends and she couldn't help but let that thought linger in her head. She never knew any of her friends when she was younger so she didn't have any stories to tell them that they could relate to. Sure, she had stories about her fillyhood, but they weren't really anything interesting. Did her friends find her to be boring? Twilight looked down thoughtfully. Her mind wondered in the direction of her friends not finding any interest in her. All Twilight ever did was sit back and listen to her friends memories when she had none of her own to share. "What 'cha thinking about?" Pinkie Pie's eyes perked up at the sight of Twilight. Twilight jerked her head upwards at the sudden voice of the pony she had forgotten she was with at the moment. Pinkie's voice brought her back to reality. "Oh, nothing." Twilight smiled as she tried to seem as if nothing was wrong. Though, when Twilight thought about it again, she realized it was too silly to believe something like that. Of course her friends didn't think she was boring just because she had no love story to tell them. When Twilight thought about it even more, she realized that Pinkie Pie didn't tell a story either, which really relieved her in more ways then one. "You seem so deep in thought!" Pinkie giggled as she packed the rest of her belongings up. She set the basket down next to her and just stared at Twilight as if waiting intently for a response. "Oh, I was just thinking about a story I could tell next time we all get together like this." Twilight tried to make something up so she wouldn't seem too suspicious. "You're right. I would like to hear a story from you too!" The pink pony jumped up with excitement. "Yeah..." Twilight's large purple eyes glimmered as she smiled back at her pink friend. "I would like to hear one from you too." Twilight said back. Pinkie Pie looked up in consideration. She smiled as she looked back down at Twilight. "Maybe....we could make one together." Twilight was startled by Pinkie's response. What was that suppose to mean? What kind of story? Twilight wasn't sure but whatever it was Pinkie didn't seem like she was going to explain. Pinkie Pie got up from her position and grabbed her basket as if she were going to head back home herself. "Leaving?" Twilight asked as she watched Pinkie get up. "Yeah." The pink pony said without turning around to look at the unicorn. Twilight was a bit confused. She didn't know what was up with the sudden change in attitude from her friend, but Pinkie was very unpredictable and that didn't really surprise Twilight all that much. "Oh, okay." Twilight looked down with a bit of disappointment in her eyes. She wasn't exactly sure, but she always felt happy whenever she was around Pinkie Pie. It wasn't just the fact that Pinkie brought joy to everypony she met either, it was more like a peace of mind whenever Pinkie was around. Twilight felt relief when she was in the earth ponies company, but now Pinkie had to leave, and Twilight knew she couldn't keep her forever. "I guess I will see you later then." Twilight said without getting up from the ground she was seated at. "I guess....or....you could come with me?" Pinkie turned around and gave Twilight a quick wink. She then burst into a fit of giggles like she sometimes would and this sent chills down Twilight's back. Twilight nodded her head slowly and began to stand next to Pinkie. "Let's go together." Pinkie smiled as she offered one hoof to Twilight. The purple unicorn hesitated for a moment, but then soon accepted the hoof with her own. Twilight wasn't exactly sure where this was going, but she was glad she was going, where ever it was, with Pinkie Pie. The End?
