//------------------------------// // A Pink Promise: 1 // Story: Pinkie Pie's new Pet // by Ponyess //------------------------------// . ”Twilight, could you be by my home by high noon tomorrow; I will need some help from you, by that time!” I told her. “If you're asking, I'll be there!” Twilight declared, with more than her usual certainty; she meant what she said, I knew she would help me. “Thanks!” I responded. “You're quite welcome, Pinkie!” she told me, as I left her library. . I knew what I was looking for, a pet, and the most rare and exotic of all the pets a pony could have in Equestria. I know fully well what the restrictions are, which is exactly why I had asked Twilight, of all ponies. She isn't just my friend, which is important enough to me, any day of the week. Only this time, I need her services, the way no other Pony could. She isn't just a Unicorn, among others; even among my friends, as loyal to me and her friends as she is, even if it is Dash who hold the element of Loyalty. I could afford a good night’s sleep. With that, I had prepared everything for the day of tomorrow, I had done that, even before I left for the library. Such is my trust in my friends. If I couldn't trust them, how could I call them my friends? I had my saddle bags packed, including everything I intended to use. With that, I'm off. Only this isn't a walk in the park, or a stroll on the town of Ponyville. I had something much larger planned. This time it was time to be at my most random self, it's how I can do all the things I do. . With that, I simply popped out of the room, breaking that one famous fourth wall, like only I could do it. I had found myself on a dark alley way, where no sane people would go. It isn't the darkness of the lights, it is the darkness of the heart and soul. That's why no sane individual went here, willingly at least. I trotted off towards my destination, following the dark road out of sight and then turned to the right, before I made the next turn into the corner where I knew she would be. It is where she had been sleeping every night since she escaped the orphanage. I couldn't allow her to stay like this. I placed my right fore hoof on her shoulder, thus waking her up, before I prepared to address her. Maybe a few in town would wonder why I never returned home, or how I could exit my home twice, but most Ponies would give up on these ideas, knowing the answer would only make them more confused.
