Pretty in Pink

by Sarcastic Brony


Day One

Hello everyone. You probably don't know who I am and I can honestly say that I’m not entirely sure either. I guess that’s not really important, is it?. Where should I start? Oh, where are my manners? My name’s Anonymous, but everyone around here calls me Anon for short. I know that isn't my true name, but it’s all I have to call my own. When you take a good look at me you can see that I’m just a regular run of the mill human. I am of average height and weight. While I may not be a male model, I can say that I have a rugged look that females seem to enjoy.

That’s probably enough about me. Would you like to hear about how I found my way into a place filled with magical talking ponies? I know you probably think I’m crazy, but it’s true! Perhaps a little summary of my arrival and where I currently am now will help you understand. While I can't remember how I managed to get myself into Equestria, I do in fact remember how I arrived.

It was dark, darker than I would have assumed the living world to be. I also noticed a great lack of oxygen as well. I was considerably alarmed when I realised that I had been buried alive! Yes, I had somehow been placed several feet into the earth. Now, this is not a fun situation to be put in. Once I realised my dilema, I quickly shoveled dirt out of my way looking for an exit. My hands drew blood from my nails tearing away at the hard pressed earth.

It was a fight for my life and I didn't care of the pain. With a few last bursts of strength I felt my hand break from the confines of my tomb and into a empty space of what felt like grass. This was all I need to know to force my body from the grave I had been laid into. I pop the top half of my body out with a long gasp for air. I was alive and well, this was something that brought me great joy.

Yeah, so it wasn't that great of an arrival, but I was happy to be alive. After I had got my body out I was left questioning where I was, though my memories were a bit fuzzy, I knew that my surroundings didn't seem to match up with what I vaguely remembered. It was all very scary and I’ve never felt so alone in my life before. It didn't take me too long to notice that the sun was going down and I probably should try to find some help.

Before long I came across what looked to be a village from afar. I had no idea where this would be located, but I was happy to see something manmade for once, or, at least I thought it was manmade. I slowly stepped foot into town looking for the nearest human. Covered in dirt from head to toe would probably be hard to explain but I was hopeful that someone would hear my plight.

This is when the next event commonly know as “first contact” had come into play. I wasn't paying much attention to what was below me as I walked, because I suddenly bumped into something solid. I made sure to steady myself as I stumbled back a little. I shook the fog from my mind and look down at what had caused this. Imagine my surprize when I saw a little pink pony.

Now, I know what ponies are, but this one looked rather unique. She was far smaller than any pony I have ever seen, seeing as the top of her head only went to about my bellybutton. Also add the fact that the color of her coat looked strangely natural didn't help with my confusion. Not to mention her head was rather large and her eyes were equally big. I could even spot a odd marking on her hind end, a brand of some sort or possibly a tattoo. We just looked at each other for awhile before she took in a big gasp of air.

Then she screamed. “Monster! Everypony run for your life!”

Now what happened next was kinda a blur. She zipped off, a bunch of panic happened. I was taken into custody and thrown into a cell. So it wasn't a very fun experience for me, but I was lucky that the matriarch of the land seemed to be displeased that her guards threw me in a cell for no reason. So with that said, she let me go. I was free to do what I will, under the watchful eye of her student, Twilight Sparkle. I was alright with that, better than being in a dungeon anyday.

Twilight and I got along very well and talked about a whole bunch of different things. She was happy to hear some stuff about my people and I was interested in the culture her people bring as well. Sadly one topic that came up was me returning home and that wasn't possible with their currently magic and technological level. Though these ponies were nice enough so it’s alright to me, not like I can even remember what I left behind anyways.

After a couple of days I met with some of Twilight’s friends. They were all rather unique in their own way, but I particularly found one to be all too familiar. It was the pink menace that started all this, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of animosity against her. I know I am extremely taller than them and look weird but the way she reacted kinda made me suffer a bit.

Though after getting to know her a bit more I learned very quickly that her reaction was probably something normal. She has a very quirky personality. She is so lively and always happy, this seems to bleed out onto the emotions of everyone around her. I can even feel myself smile a little when I am around her.

So it was to no ones surprise that I forgave her very quickly when she threw me a party. What did she call it? A Welcome to ponyville and sorry for getting you thrown into a dungeon party. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the sign, it was just how she was and I kinda liked it. She was very straight forward but in a nice way.

A couple of months passed. Pinkie and I became great friends and I have grown close to the others as well, but Pinkie was one of the best. She would always take me into the kitchen to help her cook cakes and even included me into all activities she did. Whether it was something big like planning a party or something small like taking Gummy to the local lake. Oh I forgot to mention, “Gummy” is her pet alligator. I was a little shocked when he clamped onto my leg, only to realise he had no teeth.

With time passing quickly by with good friends I managed to get a decent home and a well paying job. I’m the local ‘handy human’ as a certain sea foam green unicorn has taken to calling me. Basically, I just do odd jobs here and there, just helping out the community or fixing stuff that others can't. I mean, hands are pretty awesome when all these ponies lack them.

So in short, life has been pretty good for me in ponyville. Twilight has suggested that I should write a journal of the time I spend here. So this is just a summary of what I have been through. I guess I will be logging what happens every few days or so. Since this is a private journal, then I hope you respect my privacy enough to stop reading further. Anyways, let’s just log this as day one.


(DAY 1)

Today was a rather interesting day. I mean I thought it was going to be just like so many days I had before, but then something happened.

I’m standing outside of sugarcube corner as the sweet smell of different sugary confections fill my senses. A small smile spreads over my lips as I place my hand on the door and push it open. My gaze falls onto Pinkie as she sits looking at the door with her usual enthusiasm, expecting a hungry customer.

“Anon!” She says with glee as she hops over the counter, runs over and takes me into an embrace.

No matter how many times she does this it never gets old. She greets me like we haven't seen each other in years and yet it’s only been a few minutes. It’s just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie and I like that about her.

“So what are you up to?” I ask already knowing the answer.

“Just waiting on you. You get the supplies?” She looks to my backpack.

I give a nod. “Sure did. It took some doing but I managed to snag the last box of party hats. Had to sock one to Granny Smith to get it from her. Worth it I think.” I say with a smile.

Pinkie snorts as she punches my leg lightly. “Anon, you are such a kidder.”

I scratch the back of my head. “Didn't buy it huh?”

She shakes her head with her iconic grins still plastered onto her face. “You are too gentle to do that to anypony.” She says honestly.

I chuckle a little. “I guess you’re right.” I use my thumb to point to my backpack. “Should I unload them here?” I ask.

She shakes her head. “Hold onto them. I’ve been thinking of moving this party to the park. Do you think that sounds good?” She looks to me for confirmation.

I mull it over for a bit. “Rainbow said it should be clear, sunny and cool skies for the rest of the day.” I look at her with a smile. “It sounds perfect.”

She jumps into the air like a spring. “Oh this will be funerific!” She shouts as she stops in mid air. “I need to work on the cakes!” She then zooms off into the distance, only to return seconds later with a basket in her mouth. “You hand out the invitations.” With that done she zips back into the kitchen.

Another quirk of Pinkie. I just shake my head with a smile and walk out the door with her invitations in hand. As I step outside I spot a lone cloud sitting above sugarcube corner. I know this pony all too well. She told me awhile back that she enjoyed taking naps here because the smell of baked goods couldn't be beat.

“Yo, Skittles!” I call out.

She lazily rolls over and sticks her head over the edge of the cloud so she can see me. “Anon, you know I hate that name! Plus it’s my nap time!” She calls in a groggy voice.

“Come on! You know I only call you that because Skittles are sweet and colorful, just like you!” I hear her let out a large groan. “Fine then! I guess you don't want to be invited to a party!” I call back waving the card in the air.

She quickly zooms off her cloud to claim her prize. She tears it open and looks it over. “The park? Awesome!” She says with excitement, having completely forgotten about what we were talking about earlier..

I elbow her. “Thanks for the heads up on the weather. Park is a great idea while it’s so nice.” I say looking to the clear skies.

“Yeah, this day is going to be perfect.” She adds.

“Well, I got to get the rest of these delivered.” I show her the basket still full of cards. “See you at the party.” I say before giving her a wave as I walk off.

“See ya!” She calls out.


I made my way over to Twilight’s knowing she is the next closest stop. I stand before her tree library/house and place a few knocks on her door. I am greeted by the one and only Spike. He is a pretty cool guy, if it wasn't Pinkie then Spike would be my best friend. He’s like a little brother to me, so I guess it all works out.

“Sup, Spike.” I say throwing my head up slightly as a small gesture we were use to sharing.

“Sup.” He replies mimicking the same gesture..

“Twilight busy?” I ask

He looks into the library. “Have a look for yourself.”

I lean my head in slightly and catch what one can only assume to be a fort made of books. Imagining Twilight within the walls studying isn’t as farfetched as most would think.

I take out the card and hand it to him. “Can you make sure she gets this?”

He browses the card briefly. “Sure, she will want to make sure everything is in proper order before we get there.” He says.

I ball my hand into a fist as I stretch it out to him. “Later, Scaley.”

A mischievous grin goes onto his face as he bumps my fist with his own. “Later, Monkey.”

I just chuckle at that as I wave him goodbye, that was just how we act around each other. We aren't trying to hurt someone's feelings, we are just poking a little fun. I think he really responds to it well, seeing as I have noticed some of these mares treat him like a baby. Though, I have to admit, when I first tried to play with him like that he did cry, but after I explained to him that it was only a joke, he kinda grew into it.


Having finished with Twilight’s invitation I make my way to Rarity’s. Soon her very well known establishment comes into view. A rather unique looking building, it’s understandable seeing as her dresses are just as unique. I know she’s open right now so I walk in as the bell hanging over the door makes my presents apparent to all inside.

“~Just one minute!~” Calls Rarity in a sing song voice.

I walk around a little and look at her dresses. Everytime I come over I see something new and daring. Every piece she makes reflects her determination and skill.

“Oh, Anon! What would be the pleasure of this visit? Do you need more clothes?” She asks while she slowly approached me.

I just smile at her. Ever since I came here she has been nothing but generous in my plight for clothing. It took some time to explain why I needed to wear clothes all the time and how embarrassing it was when she asked me to disrobe for measurements, but in time she understood and is my main seamstress for all clothing I need. I gotta say, for her making mostly dresses, she knows her way around simple pants and shirts.

I shake my head. “That’s alright, Rarity. I came here to give you an invitation to a party.” I say presenting the card to her.

It levitates from my hand as she looks it over. I hear a small whine escape her. “The park.” I know she doesn't like dirt much and because of this she might turn it down. “It seems I will just have to make sure to bring my emergency beauty supply kit.”

I continue to smile at her attitude. “Wouldn't be a party without you, Rarity.”

She strikes a pose for me as she adjusts her curl. “Well with a compliment like that a lady should not disappoint!” She states with her usual boldness.

I chuckle at that. “I gotta get the rest of these delivered.” I say motioning towards the basket.

“Oh my! Well please don't let me hold you up, I should really get ready as is.”

“See you later, Rarity.” I say as I show myself out.


The next stop would take some time but I knew it was going to be worth it. I was on my way to Sweet Apple acres. This is honestly where most of my work comes from. Applejack has a lot of stuff that breaks down and I’m more than happy to fix it for her. After some time walking I finally make it to the gates. I have to say that when I first got here, I hated the idea of walking everywhere, but now I can take appreciation in the scenery more.

I walk past the border fence and towards the barn. If my timing is right I should be able to catch Applejack or Big Macintosh there. I walk straight into the barn with no pause, mostly because Applejack said that if I ever knocked on the barn again she would tie me up and leave me to think about how silly it is to knock on a barn. Even if I did explain that a barn door was still a door.

I walk in and spot Big Macintosh setting his yoke onto his neck as he prepares to haul some carts.

“Hey, Big Mac.” I say giving him a wave.

He just looks at me as he rolls a piece of wheat in his mouth. I learned very quickly that Big Mac is not much of a talker to people he isn't too familiar with. It took several months just to get more than two words out of him, but with my work mainly on the farm I tried my best to converse with him, but it never took..

“You know where Applejack is? She has a party invite.” I say motioning towards the basket. “You know, why don't you come with us?”

He looks to the ceiling in thought. It didn't take him long to think as he shakes his head.

“Nope.”

I let out a sigh. I guess that’s the best I could get from him. He thankfully raises his hoof towards a direction.

“South field.” Is all he says before setting off to his work.

“Thanks.” I say as I walk out of the barn.

I make my way through the grove of apple trees until I find the mare I am looking for. There she is displaying her strength as she bucks away at various apple trees. It still amazes me that she does this day in and day out. I’m pretty sure I would have broke my foot if I tried to do her job.

“Yo, AJ!” I yell out.

She turns to my voice. “Anon, What’re ya doin here?”

I give her what she needs. “Pinkie party, you know the drill.” I say with a smile.

“That ah do.”

“How’s the harvest going?” I ask looking at the full baskets.

“Mighty fine, Anon. Just a few more fields and we will be able to get these puppies out to market soon.” She says with her usual pride.

“As always I will be the first in line waiting for them.”

Ever since I first took my first bite of an apple in this world I fell in love with them. Applejack’s are above and beyond high quality. I always make sure to buy a bushel or two whenever her crop comes in and she is nice enough to save me the best of her crop.

“You’re my best customer.” She says brightly.

I chuckle a little at that. “Well, I will let you get back to work. I still got one invitation to go!” I say knowing my journey will soon end.

“See ya later!” Applejack calls as I wave at her on my way to the last pony on the list.


The walk to Fluttershy’s is the longest but by far the most scenic. Rows of trees and many flowers grow among the sides of the road. Even as I approach her home, I still look in awe on how well placed it is, atop a hill with it's own little bridge and stream running under it. It all comes together as a very peaceful environment. Rather understandable for a pony of her nature.

I soon stand before her door. I gently rap a few times as to not startle her too much.

“W-who is it?” I hear a whisper come through the door.

“It’s me, Fluttershy. Anon.” I say in a gentle tone.

The door slowly opens as she looks at me and then inspects the outside a little to make sure I am alone. Once she realises I was alone does she let out a sigh of relief.

“What brings you here?” She asks.

I pull out the last invitation and present it to her.

“Another Pinkie party. Don't worry, it's not a surprise party. In fact it's going to be in the park.”

Fluttershy is a very likeable pony. She is kind and sweet to all she meets. Though she does have a very bad social problem, but she’s been trying to be a little more open to others. It took many months of talking to even get her in the same room as me, but once we found a common ground did we take to each other very well. I told her how I liked animals and from there we really hit it off. Since then I make sure to kinda protect her from things that frighten her, so I usually warn her of surprise parties and generally try to be more gentle around her.

“Thank you for the heads up.” She says taking the invitation into her mouth. Just before she tucks it under her wing.

“I know you are busy with the animals, so I will let you get back to them.” I say looking out to her little sanctuary.

“W-well, see you at the party.” She says just before closing the door.

I guess it can't hurt to get ready as well. A quick trip home will do wonders.


The time has come as I walk towards the park. Yes, it wouldn't be too long of a walk and I also get to run into some of the ponies I know and chat a little. Lyra was the first pony that actually approached me in the beginning. She was curious as to what I was and seemed rather interested in the way I walked. It didn't take too long until she actually started to try and imitate me with hilarious results.

Imagine it like a baby first trying to learn how to walk. How they wobble and fall a lot? Yeah, that was kinda like Lyra in a nutshell. She is a very sweet pony and very talented in her special talent of playing the lyre. Which is funny seeing as no one takes a second look at her name being Lyra and she plays the lyre. This world is just weird that way.

The reason why I bring her up is because she is currently waving me down as she sits on a park bench. Human style mind you.

“Anon!” She calls with a large grin.

I walk over to her. “Hey, Lyra. How’s my favorite human in training doing?” I ask with a slight chuckle.

“Ha, ha.” She rolls her eyes at me. “So what’s my favorite handy human up to?” She asks.

“You know, the usual. About to head over to a Pinkie party,” I admit to her.

“Another? Didn't she just throw one yesterday?” She asks.

“Yeah, but that was the, “Public party everypony is invited”, party. This is the, “Just friends and Anon the human”, party.” I say with a grin.

“Well don't let me keep you too long.” Before I walk away I hear her speak up. “I almost forgot! Bonbon and I have a leak in the kitchen. I was wondering if you were free anytime this week?”

I take a second to think it over a bit. “I should be free tomorrow afternoon actually.”

“That would be great!”

“Alright then, see you later, Lyra.” With that said I continue on my way to the park.

On my way I ran into other ponies, but none I knew more than on a first name bases. Some ponies I fixed things for and nothing more. I knew I could stop off and talk to some others that I knew, but I didn't want to be late for Pinkie’s party. She usually waits until everyone is there before she gets things started. That was her way of doing things.


“Anon, you finally made it!” Pinkie calls out as she takes me into an embrace.

“Sorry. I’m not late am I?” I ask hoping I haven't been making everyone wait.

“Nope! Everyone just got here.” She informs me.

“Perfect.” I say walking over to the party area.

“Hey, Anon.” Rainbow casually says as she rests on a blanket with her hilarious sized sunglasses.

I take a seat next to her as we bathe in the sun.

“How’s the wonderbolts stuff going?” I ask while looking at the sky.

“I’m taking a break from that stuff.” She admits.

“Too bad.” I reach into my pockets and raise up seven tickets. “Guess I can sell the other ticket.”

I look over to see her eyes go wide as the glasses fall from her muzzle.

“W-What are those?” She asks in shock.

“Just skybox tickets to the upcoming Cloudsdale wonderbolts race.” I say like it’s nothing.

“What?!” Everyone screams out.

I chuckle a little as I put the tickets back into my pocket.

“Don't worry though, Dash. I will sell your ticket. Too bad, seeing as I wanted all my friends to go.” I then scratch my chin stubble. “Maybe Lyra would want to go?” I question.

“No! I-I take it back, I want to go!” Rainbow pleads as she stands over me.

I chuckle at how easily these ponies are to trick. I just roll my eyes and let out a defeated sigh.

“Fine, Dash. I will let you go with me.”

She hops off me with excitement. “Awe-”

“Under one condition!” I yell out.

She looks at me with obvious hesitation. “What's the condition?”

I chuckle a little as I look at the others.

“You have to give me a kiss. Right here, right now. Also make it pretty hot and heavy, don't go easy on me.” I say with a smirk.

I can see her face heat up in anger. I know Rainbow is attracted to mares and I always love to mess with her like this, I know she wouldn't do it. I’m not sure if her friends know that she’s attracted to the same sex, but they always seem to get a kick out of me doing something like this to her. I look to see Rainbow hesitating. I lean up and pull out one ticket and wave it in front of her.

“Just one little prench kiss my dear and you get to see the wonderbolts. Maybe even meet Spitfire..” I waggle my eyebrows at her.

Now I see her face redden up for an entirely different reason.

“F-Fine!” She says as she touches down near me.

I was going to call it off like I usually do, but she was too quick for me to get the words out. Next thing I know I have Rainbow’s tongue in my mouth as she gives me a kiss I will never forget. I couldn't help myself when I start to fight her tongue back with my own, our kiss starting to heat up a bit. I can feel her hooves wrap around me as I pull her closer.

“Think we should leave?” It wasn't until we heard that from Applejack do we pull away from each other.

Rainbow and I look at each other panting.

“Holy shit, Rainbow. That was a kickass kiss.” I say still trying to catch my breath.

“Y-yeah.. You aren't too bad yourself.” She admits.

We then hear someone clear their throats. We both look over to see Twilight scribbling something down at a furious pace, Applejack giving us a smug smile, Fluttershy looking away with a red face, Rarity shaking her head at our public display and Pinkie just looking at the food with intent to consume. I then look back at Rainbow.

“I thought you were going to chicken out. I would’ve still given you the ticket, but I’m not going to complain about what happened. It was, pretty awesome.” I admit with a chuckle to break the tension.

“Y-yeah. I gotta admit that you were really good. I mean, I never seen you kiss anypony before. So, I thought you wouldn't have had the practice.” She rubs the back of her neck nervously.

“Just call it natural talent.” I say feeling better by the minute. “Maybe we can do this again sometime.” I waggle my eyebrows at her.

She rolls her eyes as she pushes me to the ground with her hoof. “You wish, buddy.”

I chuckle it off as I hand over her ticket so we can get back to the party. Rainbow holds onto her ticket like it’s a newborn foal. I get up and hand out the other tickets to everyone. Once all tickets are handed out does everyone resumes with their own brand of entertainment. Rainbow’s talking to Rarity about how she couldn't wait to see the wonderbolts. Though from what I can hear, I think Rarity is only interested in how good the kiss was.

“Hello, Anon!” I look down to see Twilight below me.

“Hey, Twilight.” I reply back.

She shifts around nervously. “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”

“Sure.” Even after all the time spent here, Twilight still likes to ask questions.

“Have you ever kissed a pony before?”

I’m thrown off guard by that. “Um, no.”

“Is Rainbow your first?”

“I guess you can say that.”

“Are you two dating?”

I feel the hairs on my neck stand up. “Me and Rainbow?! N-no! It was just a prank but, well, it kinda got out of hand.” I chuckle nervously.

“Are all human pranks so intimate?” She says with a blush.

I’m not sure how to respond. “Look, Twilight. I-I don't know what to say. Rainbow and I aren't dating. It was just a joke that went too far. I thought she would chicken out but she definitely surprised me.” I rub the back of my head. “My fault really. She was bound to get me back sometime, that was pretty good too.”

“So, you enjoyed it?”

I feel my face heat up. “Well, yeah. She is a really good kisser. I was positive that kissing a pony would be weird, but we fit together pretty well, all things considered.”

“Sorry to be asking these questions, I just wanted to document any human and pony relationships so I can compare them to other cross species relations.” Twilight says looking redder than I am.

“No problem, Twi. Just one of the quirks that I like about you.”

She seems to get even redder. “Thanks, Anon. I-I better go, I’m sure everypony will be coming up to talk about what happened soon.”

I let out a sigh of defeat. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. Later, Twi.”

Twilight was right about what she said though. Pretty much everypony, with the exception of Pinkie and Fluttershy. Came up to me and had asked how the kiss was, if Rainbow and I were dating and general things like that. I answered them honestly as I did with Twilight. Rainbow didn't seem to mind though, but I guess that was because she was still talking about the Wonderbolts and probably wasn't paying attention.

I mean, I have never looked at a pony with romantic interest since I got here. Though Rainbow had her own charm. We are like bro’s. We hang out all the time. We talk about how our days fucking suck, even if they didn't. We could chill around each other, you know?

“How you liking the party?!” Pinkie screams into my ear.

“Whoa!” I scream as I quickly turn to face her. “Pinkie, what have I told you about sneaking up on me?”

“How could I be sneaking if you know I’m here to party?” She asks.

I open my mouth and just let out a sigh. “You have a point.”

“Of course I do silly!” She then takes a seat next to me as we both look at the blue sky. “So why is everypony talking about you and Rainbow?”

I groan in annoyance. “Rainbow and I kissed. It was no big deal.”

“Wow! Are you two dating?” She asks.

“No, it was just a prank, Pinkie. I mean, Me and Rainbow? Can you really imagine that? We are bro’s, I couldn't see her as anything more.”

Hell if you knew what I knew then you would know that too.

I then chuckles a little. “If I was going to date anyone, I would like to date someone who is funny, likes to have fun, being nice is a plus too.”

“You mean like me?” She asks.

I feel a shiver run up my spine as I look over at Pinkie. As I look at her I can see she has a large grin on her lips. She is the nicest pony I know, she’s funny and we probably have more fun together than Rainbow and I do.

I just chuckle at that idea.. “Yeah, like you, Pinkie.”

She giggles at that as she gets up and walks back to the party to entertain the others.

I just sit there and watch her walk away, not taking notice of Rainbow taking a seat next to me. She pulls me close to her.

“Looks like my favorite monkey gots the hots for my pink friend.” She taunts.

“I don't like Pinkie that way. She is sweet and all but...”

“But what? You two would be perfect together.” She states.

I look to where Pinkie walked off. “I’ve never thought of her like that, Rainbow.”

“Really?!” She asks with shock. “I mean, you two are seriously way too close. Closer than friends should be. I’ve even seen you bathe her!” She states.

I felt my face heat up. “H-How do you know about that!?”

“I was watching through the window.”

“Rainbow, that is fucking creepy.” I say honestly.

“Well I was going to invite Pinkie to pull some pranks with me but I saw her all covered in flour and you leading her into the bathroom.”

“At what point did you think you should‘ve stopped watching?” I ask.

She shrugs. “What can I say, it was kinda cute to watch.” She giggles to herself. “How gentle you were when cleaning her mane. Making sure to keep the shampoo out of her eyes. Oh I bet Rarity would love to hear about that, she loves hearing sappy stuff like that.”

I slap my face into my hands. “I have to move now.”

“Hey, I didn't tell anypony! I’m just poking a little fun!”

“Just having you know is enough.”

She lets out a frustrated sigh. “Anyways! I think you two should give it a shot.”

“Rainbow, was subtlety ever a quality you possessed?”

She punches my shoulder. “Why be subtle when I can get to the point?”

I groan at her response. “What about you and me, Rainbow? Ponies seem to think we’re an item.” I state.

“Yeah, but they don't know what you know about me.” She says in annoyance.

“Why don't you tell them? I mean, this place is mostly mares. I doubt it's frowned upon.” I say honestly.

“Because it's my business, Anon.” She answers.

“True, but it would make life easier I bet.” I just shrug. “Your life though.”

I see Rainbow get angry suddenly. “Dang it! Y-You did it again.”

“Did what?” I ask innocently.

“You do that thing where you change the subject!”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Seems she caught on this time.

“No way, buddy. We are getting back on topic. Why can't you and Pinkie be something?” She asks.

“Well, I guess that’s my business, Rainbow.” I say with a smirk.

“Ugh!” She turns around. “Fine, be that way. I'm just saying you two would be pretty good together.”

“Whatever you say, Skittles.”

With that does she let out a loud sigh and fly back towards the party. I just look at the sky again as I let my eyes fall closed. I can't help but think about what Rainbow said. Sure, Pinkie is cute and definitely makes me smile. But, could I really date her? I let my mind run it's course until I doze off to sleep, the sounds of my friends having fun drifting off into the background, like a lullaby all of it's own..
