“My… sister…?” Pinkie said.
“Hello…” Peachy Pie said.
“You two have fun…” Twilight says as she walks back to her own sister and things resume as normal.
The two remained silent. They sat there staring at each other, unsure of what to say, or even do.
“So…” Peachy started, “We’re sisters, apparently…”
Pinkie remains silent.
“Well, I guess I can tell a little bit about myself…” Peachy smiles. She speaks with a nice soft tone. “As you already know, my name is Peachy Pie. I own the peach orchard here in Ponyville. It happens to be on the opposite side of the town from Sweet Apple Acres. It’s funny, too, because I have known Applejack for a while, and considering you too are friends, you think she would have seen a connection. Well, unless our personalities are different…”
Pinkie continued to sit there silently.
“So, uh, why don’t you tell a little bit about yourself?” Peachy said, smiling awkwardly.
The longer Pinkie sat there quietly, the more awkward things got between them. Well, at least for Peachy. She wasn’t exactly sure what to do.
“Um… Hello?” Peachy says quietly.
And then it started.
“Omigoshomigoshomigosh! I have a sister that I can hang out with! That’s so amazing! I always wondered if I had a sister besides Inkie and Blinkie, because we are just step sisters, and they moved away, so I was so lonely, and now that you’re here, we can have so much fun together! I can’t believe we haven’t met before, because if we would have met, then I would have been able to tell you were my sister, because we look so alike, that it’s crazy! I have never looked so alike with anypony before! Oh, I gotta plan your party!”
“My… party…?” Peachy said. She wasn’t going to enjoy this…
“Of course, your party! Duh! I throw parties for everypony in Ponyville when I meet them! But I’ll do that later. I have SOO much to tell you!”
“Oy…” Peachy says with a groan.

“”
Peachy stands there, eye twitching slightly. Pinkie had just talked for three hours straight, and she didn’t want to hear anymore. Considering she is not the type of pony to yell at others, she needed to leave before she did…
“You okay, Peachy…?” Pinkie said.
“Huh? Oh… yeah… I’m fine…” Peachy says softly, “But I have to get back to my orchard. I just remembered some stuff I had to do…”
Peachy looks to Twilight.
“Twilight?”
Twilight was playing a game of chess with Beachberry. She looks up at Peachy.
“Yeah?”
“I have to get back to my orchard. It was nice to meet you all…”
“Aww, so soon?” Rarity said.
“Yeah, sorry…” she turns to the door and begins to open it.
“Well, hey!’ Pinkie starts, “I can go with you and help you with-“
“NO!” Peachy shouts. After noticing that everypony was staring at her, she clears her throat. “I mean, I couldn’t ask you to do that…”
“Don’t worry, you silly goose!” Pinkie said, “I help Applejack on the farm all the time!”
“No, really… it’s fine…” Peachy said, slowly backing out the door.
“I insist, Peachy. Let me come help you! It’ll be so much fun! Two sisters working on a farm! It’ll be like the rock farm again, but with biological sisters! Come on! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepl-“
“Fine!” Peachy said, “But I don’t want to hear a word from you the whole time, okay?”
Pinkie makes a zipper motion across her face.
Peachy sighs. “Okay… Come on…”
Pinkie smiles with a squee.
As Peachy walks, Pinkie does her usual bounce movement next to her.
Peachy’s eyes couldn’t help but watch Pinkie. Who would be able to ignore a pink blob bouncing next to you?
“Could you not do that…?” Peachy said, stopping in her tracks.
Pinkie stops in the air. “Okie dokie lokie!” She then continues walking in the air.
After Peachy got past the fact that Pinkie was literally walking on air, which took about twenty minutes, she realized they were at her orchard.
“Well… here we are…” Peachy said.
Pinkie nods.
“I’m gonna be honest, Pinkie… I really don’t have any work to do…”
“You lied…?”
“Yes…”
“Why…?”
Peachy chose her wording very carefully. “I have claustrophobia…”
“I see…” Pinkie said.
“Well, thanks for walking me home…” Peachy says, putting on a smile.
“Oh… yeah, no problem…” Pinkie said, clearly disappointed.
“We’ll hang out more tomorrow…” Peachy said. Why did I just say that?!
Pinkie smiles. “Okay…”
Pinkie gives Peachy a hug, to which she slowly hugs back. She hasn’t had a good hug in a long time…
“See you…” Pinkie says as she begins to walk away.
Peachy watched her until she disappeared over the hill.
Hmm… Maybe I should give her more of a chance… She thought with a smile. She turned and went to the barn. She was going to have some fun tomorrow…
