Tentative Pet Pony

Slipping Out with Flutters: 5

As Pony, I had no need for clothes. I'm on vacation, no uniform. I do so enjoy the freedom here. Even if I had started to feel it, I'm Pinkie Pie, and thus do have a need for making Ponies happy, to see them smile. I guess seeing Flutter happy and smile would keep me on the upper line here.

She closed the door quietly, as she followed me out the door. I know with certainty, none will enter my home without my explicit invitation. Ponies knock first, and only enter when permitted. Somehow, this did feel good too.


I had chosen the cottage I first came by, and it had been open, maybe I had been lucky, or had I actually booked it, this part felt increasingly fuzzy, I could barely recall this. If I had, had I asked for my current persona, to be playing Pinkie Pie? I just am who I am, right? Or, I may have had the chance to choose otherwise, but that is all irrelevant.

I had Main Road 01, easy to remember. Apparently, Flutter lived on the other side of town, is that No. 100? I'm not sure, but know where it is, if I need to find her. That's all I need to know, right.


Just quietly walking down the road, birds still chirping, but aside from that, and not a cloud on the sky, just such a typical Ponyville weather. I guess it may have been why I chose to take my week off here?

I never asked her about her civil name, and she never asked me about mine. Maybe she knew the answer just as well as I do. I can't say, I can't recall. The only name I could answer, is 'Pinkie Pie', or any other name I went by in Ponyville. The same would go for Flutter.


I had seen her as she entered my home, she had a muzzle, just as I do have, there is no turning back. She had apparently sealed her deal the other day, just as I had.

“Flutters, would you like to have a cup of tea with me at the Sugar-Cube Corner?” I asked her.

“That'd sound like fun!” she responded, as she hovered just a foot overhead and just before me, just like the Pegasus she is.


Of course, I had to take off towards the east, just before the square, where the Mayor holds her speeches every time when she had an announcement to make, but there is nopony there, and it is quiet.

The fresh air had made both of us a world of good, she had enjoyed her flight, as she set hoof on the pavement just outside Sugar-Cube Corner.
