	Short of the two fillies, it had been a great day.  I chose to follow Dinkie Hooves from school.  I already like her, so it made sense to me. Even if it may not to you?

“Class dismissed!” Cheerlie pronounced in her usual cheerful voice, as the bell called for us to leave.

“Could I follow you along the way from school!” I asked.

“Sure, why not. I guess I don't have anyone else over!” she just blurted out, not a thought of what came next, just enjoying the moment.

“Great!” I responded.

“You're the new fillie, right?” she enquired.

“Yeah, that's me!” I responded, since it was true, no point in lying.

I really do need a few friends, and starting up, on the good side never should hurt, and if it did, they wouldn't be good friends in the end, I knew.

“You don't know anyone in town, then?” she asked.

“No, not a one!” I told her.

“You need somepony to show you the sites, introduce you to the once you should know, and the celebrities!” she pointed out.

“That would be most helpful.  I don't like to get lost.  Just as I wouldn't enjoy to mix with the wrong crowd, so to say!” I responded.

“There is this one pony you just have to meet.  She's called Pinkie Pie.  Everyone in town know her.  Mainly for her parties, since there can be no party, like a 'Pinkie Pie Party'.  Everyone know it.  Then many of us know of her, from all she has done for us, and not just in person or Ponyville, but for the entire of Equestria!” Dinkie pointed out, stopping, in part because she found herself out of breath.

“Pinkie Pie?” I just uttered, as if the name actually did mean something to me, but I just couldn't place it.
“Yes, ofhorse you just have to see her.  Maybe we should go see her right away.  It isn't all that much of a detour!” Dinkie responded.

Then it hit me, as my mind finally managed to draw in something.  She had been mentioned in our Equestrian history.  She had been mentioned in connection to both Nightmare Luna and Discord.  She had apparently been able to stop the both of them, as they had been bent on wrecking havoc on all of Ponykind.

“Besides, you need to know where Sugar Cube Corner is!” Dinkie continued.

“What's that?” I asked flatly in surprise.

I had been lost in thought for a moment, as the recollection of the history class hit me.

“It's where Pinkie Pie lives, and works.  She's an apprentice for Mr. and Mr's Cake, at their Café.  It's a natural hang out, for fillies and colts the like, even if numerous Mares and Stallions do love to go there.  I guess you can't blame them, in part because Pinkie work there!” Dinkie pointed out.

“Is she anything like you just said, I guess I can understand why ponies would like to see her.  Besides, a good place to hang out is always nice too!” I responded.

“Here you are.  Time to see the one and only, the most festive of all ponies!” she just blurted out, just as we reached the door of the Sugar-Cube Corner.
