//------------------------------// // Entries 1-9 // Story: Forever Pink // by SupaSqueegee //------------------------------// Entry One Hi diary! This is sooo neat. So Twilight went out and bought us all these fancy diaries from the bookstore so that we could write stuff! She said keeping a diary will help us review what we’ve done and stuff. Something about it being a good escape from the day to day stuff. I don’t know about all that though! It seems like it could be lots of fun! I don’t really like writing or reading, but since Twilight made us promise to try, I’ll at least do that much! So I guess I should get started, huh? Or maybe I should wait until I do something super fun like throw a party. Oh my gosh! You could be like my party diary! I gotta go plan party, quick! Bye diary! Entry Two Hi again, diary! Sorry about not writing in you for a few days. I’ve just been so super duper busy! Remember when I said I had to go plan a party? Well that’s totally what I’m doing! But you’ll never guess for who! It was so totally crazy. I was bouncing around Ponyville yesterday being my normal all smiles self, looking for someone who needed a party! But do you know what? No one needs a party! I mean I asked like everyone in Ponyville! I mean come on! It’s Fall! Everyone should want a party! You don’t know how great my parties are, diary. Especially when it’s chilly outside. All my friends come together and we eat, and play games, and get all cozy by a fire! They’re seriously the bestest things ever! But for some reason nopony wanted a party! Even my bestest best friends said they didn’t want one. I got a little sad, but I just knew that somewhere somepony needed a party! So there was only one pony who I hadn’t asked yet. Wanna know who it was? You’re right, it was Zecora! But you’ll never guess who I ran into when I was walking out to Zecora’s hut! Dang, diary! Right again! It was Trixie! I didn’t know what to do, of course. The last couple of times she’d come to Ponyville she’d made a real mess of things. Like, way worse than I do even with my biggest party canon! But she was just sitting in the middle of the road and crying right outside of town. Even if a pony was a meanie butt the last time I saw them, I can’t just let a pony cry! Not on my watch, nu uh! She didn’t really seem all that happy to see me at first, but I think I might have gotten through to her. I could totally tell that she felt really bad about everything that had happened before. Both times. I told her not to worry because the ponies here in Ponyville are really sweet and forgiving! I mean, after that time I almost flooded the town in orange soda they forgave ME pretty quick! She finally stopped crying and asked me what she should do. So I told don’t you worry, Trixie! Pinkie is here to save the day! I’m gonna throw a Welcome to Ponyville party for like nopony’s ever seen! It’s gonna be amazing! But I didn’t want to leave poor Trixie out in the cold while I got everything ready, because I could tell that she didn’t have her cart thing. She said she would be okay, but I said nope! You’re comin with me, sister! So after some makeup that I totally didn’t borrow from Rarity, and a fancy cloak I snuck her into Sugarcube Corner! I told the Cakes, the talking ones not the eating ones, that I was having a friend in need over for a few days and they said o-kay! So long as I don’t burn the place down or anything. I don’t know why they’d say something like that! I love baking here because it’s the best baking spot in the whole town! Anyway, it’s almost time for dinner, and I still have lots of planning to do! Bye bye, diary! Entry Three Wow, diary! You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to put together a super secret surprise party for a pony nopony wants to see! I’ve been running around all day putting everything together, but ponies keep asking me why I’m putting together a party! But I told them that it’s a Super Pinkie Pie Secret! But that they should totally come tomorrow! I even made sure to help all my bestest friends finish up whatever they were working on so that they would have the free time to come! I know it’s just going to be amazing! I’m throwing it right here at Sugarcube Corner! Trixie doesn’t seem as certain as I am that this will work though. She spends most of the time up in my room. I hear her crying sometimes. I think she’s worried that everypony is still gonna be mad at her. I told her I know that it’s scary, but sometimes you just have to believe that friendship can overcome anything! And I just know that if she tries, and apologizes, that she can make friends with the ponies here in town. I can tell that she doesn’t fully believe me, but I know that she’s willing to at least give me a chance. Which is all I need! Because if there’s one thing I know, it’s that a party can fix anything! Entry Four We totally did it, diary! The party was a success! At least mostly! I waited until everyone was settled in and munching on treats before I showed Trixie in. At first nopony wanted to even give her a chance. But after I asked them too, and told them that Trixie had really changed, they all decided to try. Twilight helped a little with that, too. She said that everypony, no matter what they’d done in the past, always deserves another chance. It didn’t end up as fun as most of my parties, but it was still a blast! We ate, talked, drank, and played fun party games! All of my friends couldn’t stay very late, though. Which made me a little sad. They all said they had to get back to their duties tomorrow. Which I guess I can understand. Silly Pinkie! Throwing parties in the middle of the week is not a good idea! But that’s okay, because after they all left I got to spend some time with Trixie. At first I thought she was going to go to bed, but she stayed up with me to help me clean. Which was super nice of her. After we finished cleaning she asked if we could sit by the fire. I was all for some cozy times! She didn’t say anything for awhile once we were laying on the rug in front of the fire. But when she did, she started crying! I thought I had done something wrong! She told me she was just happy, and that her tears were ones of joy! And she thanked me a bunch of times. I told her that it was okay, because what are friends for? And do you know what? She smiled. It was the first time I had ever seen her smile like that. It was a happiness, and that made me happy! We ended up staying up most of the night talking about all kinds of things! She told me about all of her crazy adventures she’s had as a traveling magician, and I told her all about my life in Ponyville! We talked and laughed for hours! I did notice something kinda strange, though. Every now and then she would scoot a bit closer to me. And then we were cuddling! It was so cute! I do make the best Pinkie Pillow ever, of course! She ended up falling asleep leaning against me, so I carried her upstairs and put her to bed. Oh yeah! She’s totally been sharing my room. She’s sleeping in this awesome fold out bed! Well diary, I need to sleep! It’s been fun! Entry Five Today sure was interesting, diary! I had to get up early because I needed to set up the shop for our early morning customers. So I left Trixie in bed to get ready. She got up a couple hours later and said that she had some running around to do, and asked if I would like to have lunch with her, saying she wanted to thank me properly for last night. I told her sure! Once the lunch rush died down she came in and the Cakes said I could go. We ended up eating at this place called Bales. We had hay fries! Trixie apologized for not being able to take me someplace nicer, but I told her that food with friends, no matter what food it is, is amazing! She told me about her day so far, too. She said she had been going around and talking to ponies, asking for forgiveness and extending a hoof of friendship. I have to say, I didn’t expect that part! She’s really trying, and I think ponies are starting to notice. I wished her good luck when I went back to work. When she came in later she was beaming! I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so happy! She pulled me up into this big hug and told me that somepony had given her a job! She was making her rounds like she had this morning when she went into the spa. Rarity and Fluttershy were there, and they all talked to Aloe and Lotus together. Trixie said the Spa Sisters were so kind to her when they accepted her apology. They told her she could be their new receptionist! She starts tomorrow. I’m so happy for her. We stayed up talking again tonight. And this time we spent the whole time cuddling together. Before we went to bed she told me how much she appreciates everything I’ve done for her. I think she’s going to be okay here in Ponyville! Entry Six Wow-wee! I almost forgot about you, diary! It’s been almost a week since I’ve written in you! Don’t be mad at me, okay? I’ve just been super busy! Things with Trixie have been going so well! She’s been working full time at the spa since I told you about all that. And every night we stay up drinking cocoa and talking. She told me last night that she wants to buy her own place her in Ponyville. She said she never realized just how perfect of a little town this is, and that she would love to stay here for good. I’m so happy! My new friend decided to stay! When she finds her own place I’m totally gonna throw another party for her. Because she’s awesome and she deserves it! Besides working at the spa she’s been spending time with Twilight. Twilight is teaching her magic. It makes me so happy that she’s making friends! Tonight when we were talking and cuddling, though, I think I noticed something happening. Diary, can you keep a secret? Pinkie Promise! Oh wait, no hooves. I believe you will anyway! I think I like Trixie. Entry Seven Hi diary. I’ve been thinking a lot the past couple of days about what I told you before, which is why I haven’t talked to you. I DO like Trixie. I’ve liked ponies before, and I’ve dated before! So this is nothing new, right? Maybe it’s because we’ve become such good friends. Or maybe it’s because we spend every night talking in front of the fire. Oh gosh! I hope I’m not sending the wrong message! Trixie is such a good friend, I don’t want her to get the wrong idea! Romantic fires are romantic! Oh yeah, silly Pinkie. It’s getting cold outside. Of course we’re going to have a fire! But what about the cuddling? Oh yeah, she started the cuddling. Wait! Diary...do you think Trixie likes me back? She’s never talked about other ponies like that before. I don’t know. I know I’ve always like stallions and mares, but what if she doesn’t like mares and is only cuddling with me because I’m super comfy? Oh diary I don’t know what to do! And what’s worse is that she’s going to start looking at places of her own tomorrow! Oh gosh. I need to calm down like Twilight keeps telling me. So long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters, right? Silly crushes are silly. I probably only think I like her because of how much time we spend together. Anyway, diary, I gotta get super early tomorrow to help Dashie with her flying practice! Night night! Entry Eight Four whole days! Sorry diary! But guess what?! Trixie got her own place! And it’s just right down the road from Sugarcube Corner! I can totally visit her whenever I want! She’s all moved in, so I threw her a party at her new house! She was so happy and excited that all of her new friends showed up. They’re really doing a good job making her feel welcome. I’m so happy that she’s doing so well. We all wished her good luck! She was so happy that she even danced at her party this time! Twilight told me that she’s coming along really well with her magic lessons, too. Then...Twilight asked me something else. She asked me how I feel about Trixie. At first I couldn’t think of anything to say! Twilight knows, diary. Don’t worry, I know you didn’t tell her because you stay tucked under my pillow all the time! She said she could tell how I always watch her and how I always talk about her. She thinks I need to just go up and talk to her and see how she feels! But I can’t do that. What if she said no? I’m happy being Trixie’s best friend. I don’t want that to change just because I feel all silly around her. Good night, diary! Entry Nine I was really scared that once Trixie moved out that we wouldn’t stay up with our cocoa anymore. The first couple of nights made me really sad. But then last night guess what happened! She knocked on the door and asked me to come over! She smiled and said that she didn’t know how to make the kind of cocoa I make, and that even if she did, it wouldn’t feel right to drink it without me! She’s such a sweetie! Her new place is kind of small, but she loves it. It’s got it’s own fireplace, too! We snuggled up on the couch like old times and talked and drank our cocoa. We stayed up way later than normal too. I thought she had fallen asleep again when she stopped talking. But after a while I noticed that she was just being quite. I asked her if everything was okay. All she did was smile and nod! Then she did something I really didn’t expect. Diary, she kissed my cheek. She kissed my cheek! Then she fell asleep on the couch. Oooooh I don’t know what to think anymore! I couldn’t just get up and leave her there. So I slept there on the couch with her, all cozy under a blanket. There’s no turning back now! I definitely like her. And I think, somewhere inside, she’s starting to like me too. You know what, diary? Today is going to be a great day!
