Six in the afternoon.
Two more hours before my mum's coming home.

Thom had left over half an hour ago, if he wouldn't be home by six his dad would disown him.

So I just sat there again, on my carpet, back against the central heating.
Close to my feet was a little pink pony, on her belly, with a crayon in her mouth. I hoped she wouldn't get sick, I mean, I could imagine swallowing Crayola wasn't really good for your health.
'You okay there, little one?' I asked.
Pinkie looked up and dropped her crayon. She tilted her head.
'Nevermind, you can't understand me,' I then said.
Although I should've gotten used to the lack of communication between me and the pony, it still frustrated me that I could not ask everything I wanted. I mean, c'mon, the next-to-main character from my most favourite show EVER (well, I really like Scrubs too...) is in my bedroom, and I can't even flood her with questions! How terrible is that!?
I shook my head. This was not the moment to go all Rarity on myself, I should pay attention to the pony first.
She'd traveled through the fourth wall, directly into my bedroom. She must have been traumatized... wouldn't you think?
Pinkie Pie grinned and dropped the last jawbreaker in her wide-open mouth. She was probably very surprised that I looked at her like she came from the underworld, the moment she just chewed on it and swallowed it in seconds.
'You are not supposed to chew those,' I commented, and it seemed as if she understood me.
She shook her head and made a chewing movement with her mouth. I smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.
Pinkie suddenly looked puzzled, then it hit me. Of course, she'd never seen a thumbs-up before. Not in the way we humans use it.
'Ah, nevermind, pony,' I said. Poor thing, missing her friends and everything.
Oh! Her friends! That reminded me of something. I bent over and drew Discord, well, something that had to look like him. In his magic, I drew the five other ponies from the main cast -- I forgot AJ's hat though.
Again, I drew the odd question mark.

It took Pinkie Pie quite a while to figure out that I tried to ask if her friends were poofed to this world, too. She then looked at me with those huge blue eyes and shrugged.
'You don't know?' I asked, but the pony had no idea what I tried to say.
