Why did I say good morning to a journal? Weird, oh well. Today was a little harder. My mama tried to help, only to get hurt again. I love her to death; but I swear to Celestia shes dense. After a very gross lunch we continued our work. Poor Blinkie got hurt... Not surprising as she always seems to find a way to get herself hurt all the time. Father will be furious and possibly ground her. He don't mean to be harsh, but ever since he hurt his leg hes been quite mean as of late. Enough about him though. I have work to do... Twilight sat the journal down once again and took a breath. Applejack looked to her and frowned. "Ah reckon Pinks wanted to hide this from us when she was alive... But ah don't understand why?" Applejack said shaking her head. "We all could of helped her..." She added with a tear. Dash scoffed and glared at AJ. "It was Pinkie's journal damn it! If she wanted to talk about it she would've!!" Dash snapped at AJ. AJ frowned. Twilight stood up and yelled. "EEENOUGH!! IS THIS WHAT PINKIE WOULD WANT?! ALL THIS FIGHTING AND FUCKING BICKERING?!" Twilight covered her mouth. Everypony in the room was silent. Dash looked at Twilight and teared up. "T-Twi... I-I- I am sorry I shouldn't of snapped like that. It's just that I miss her is all.. I-I-" Fluttershy put a hoof on Dash's shoulder and smiled. "We all forgive you Dash..." Shy said with a smile on her face. Dash began to cry a bit. "Twi, I think we should take a break for a bit... S-so no more outbursts happen..." Fluttershy said meekly. Twilight looked at her and before she could speak, Rarity chimed in. "I for one agree with Fluttershy, we should take a small break." She said wiping a tear from her eye. Twilight sighed and nodded. "Okay... Lets go get something to eat... I'm famished." Twilight said as she placed the diary down, and went with her friends to the closest restaurant. The five friends sat at a table and silently ate. Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Okay, I think I should continue reading it, if that's okay with all of you..." She said as she chewed on some food. Twilight looked up and smiled. "If you want to go ahead." Twilight said with a shrug. "Celestia didn't really say WHO had to read it." Everypony around the table nodded in agreement. "By all means sugarcube... as long as I get to read the next one..." Applejack said. Twilight smiled. An idea popped into her head. "Hey! How about we take turns reading entries!" Twilight said. Everyone nodded and looked at the time. "We should probably get back now." Twilight said. She placed a few bits on the table, and left for the library; her friends not far behind her. A while later they arrived back to the library. Twilight handed Dash the journal and she began to read it. OH.MY.GOODNESS!! I saw the most amazing thing today! I was working the fields near the east side of the farm, and suddenly a loud explosion was heard. I turned to see a BEAUTIFUL rainbow trailing across the sky! It was the most beautiful and magical thing I have seen in the many sad years I have been here. I have this strange, and funny feeling inside of me. Is it, happiness? No, no... I feel like, laughing... HA I feel like laughing my worries and sorrow away. This is a sign that I can do more with my life than move rocks around all day. Oh no, I have a plan, a BIG plan... Tonight I will throw the first party here ever. Hopefully My family will love it. Dash let a tear fall from her face as she stopped for a moment to take a breath. She fell to the floor and wept softly. "Dear Celestia, She wrote about that... She wrote that as a memory to keep forever..." Dash said through her tears. Fluttershy sat next to her mourning friend and hugged her. "Pl-please don't cry Dashie... Pinkie wouldn't want you to be sad... Please stay strong for--" Dash stopped Fluttershy short. "I-I know Shy, I know it's just that, This memory means a lot to me..." Dash said still crying. Twilight placed a hoof on Dash's back and smiled a weak and sad smile. "I-If you want Dash, I'll take over..." Twilight said with a sad tone. Dash simply nodded, and Twilight took the journal and continued to read the last part of the entry. The party was a blast! I never knew I was so good at throwing parties! Or making ponies smile! Oh that reminds me! I got my cutie mark! My mama and papa are sooo proud of me! My sisters are also very happy for me. Now I can help them get theirs!! OH that would be sooo awesome!! I have to say today has been the happiest day in my life!! I have to thank that rainbow in the sky for this very awesome day!!! Lets hope everyday can be happy from now on! JOURNAL ENTRY END Twilight put the book down and a tear fell from her eye. "That was really heartwarming... I am glad that it was..." Twilight said with a smile on her face. Everypony in the room nodded. Twilight sat the journal down and sat back in her chair. "Who wants to read the next entry?" Twilight said as she looked around. Rarity raised her hoof. "I'll do it Twilight." She said . Twilight nodded and handed the journal to Rarity and Rarity began to read the next entry.
