Smile smile smile~ All I want do is see you smile, yes I do~. Ohh, this is a nice song. I like this, I’ll need to remember it.
“Time to roll the rock in the east field to the west! Come on, they won’t grow on their own you know Pinkamina!” Jebediah Pie called up to his daugher.
Pinkamina Diane Pie rolled over in bed, what had that dream been? Buck, it was all gone now. Something about.... miles? No that was wrong. Pinkamina got up and walked over to the mirror that was hanging in her room. Mane straight as usual, coat still a dark pink. “Alright, well lets get this over with.” She turned to head downstairs to another day of work.
Was life hard on the rock farm? Yes. Did she occasionally feel she was missing something? Yes, like a cutie-mark.
Pinkamina was nudging rocks when she glanced at her flank. She was the oldest blank flank she knew. “Sigh...” She nudged the rock again and it rolled a bit further. “Only 2,364 more until they’re all rolled for today.”
Why did she stay on the farm? Both of her sisters had left. Father did need the help. It’s not like Mother was around to help any more. That must be it, she stayed on the farm for him. Well, and to keep her away.
Pinkamina wandered back home. It was late, the sun was setting. Tomorrow would be another early morning. “I’m back Father. All the rocks have been rolled for another day.”
Sitting down by the fireplace, Jebediah looked up at herm “Thank you Pinkamina, you know I would help but...”
“I understand father, after that cave in... well the doctors said it was unlikely you’d be able to walk at all.” She sat down next to him and nuzzled him gently. “Besides, you don’t have to work to show me that you care.”
Jebediah smiled weakly.
What was that song? It had felt so... so true.
Pinkamina went up to her room again. “Good night Father, I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Good night Pinkamina.”
Time for another short night before another day of work.
When I was a little filly and the sun was going do~owowown... okay. I’m going to remember this one.
It was late, or was it early. Pinkamina opened her eyes, it was still dark out. “What in the name of Celestia is going on?” She got out of bed an ran over to the window. “No, it can’t still be night. I can’t get up at night... she starts to whisper to me...” Pinkamina dropped down onto her flank and scooted up against her bed her forehooves over her head.
Hey there Kid, so, is it still just the old man?
You shut up, When I... um... was a little Philly Cheese Steak? No...
Calm down, I’m not here to cause any trouble, he’s my dad to after all.
Father has nothing to do with you!
Whatever you say kid... whatever you say. So... I don't think dawn will be anytime soon judging by the sky, why don’t we just have a little chat until then.
