//------------------------------// // Pink Frights // Story: Don't go into the woods // by Rangeralex92 //------------------------------// Pinkie Pie woke up to what seemed to be a normal morning. The babies were still asleep, so she had to be careful where she stepped so she could avoid waking the babies by stepping on a creaky floorboard. Pinkie gingerly stepped past the babies' room and went straight to the bathroom. She carefully opened the door, again, to avoid waking the babies. She stepped in and started her morning routine. Pinkie always started her morning off by taking a shower to wake herself up. She turned on the water, reaching her hoof in to feel the water temperature. "Brrr, too cold" she said, recoiling by the surprising chill of the water. She turned the handle, making the water warmer. She finally was able to get the water to a perfect temperature. As she got in, she noticed a rubber duck, and being Pinkie Pie, she just HAD to play with it! After her shower, she brushed her teeth and mane, and started to head downstairs for breakfast. By this time, the Babies were up, so she didn't have to be quiet anymore. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Cake" Pinkie said in a chipper voice. "Good morning Pinkie. I made you some breakfast. It's sitting on the table" said Mr. Cake. "Thank you" Pinkie said as she began to eat the danish and muffin that had been set out for her. After breakfast, Pinkie headed out to start her day. She had so much planned! She was going to go to Twilight's to help her with a new spell, and then her and Rainbow Dash were going to go play some pranks on ponies, and then she was going to go see Rarity so she could model a dress for her, and Fluttershy had asked if she could help feed the animals today. After she did all that, Applejack had invited her over for dinner. Pinkie went and did all the things she had planned. She helped Twilight with her new spell (which turned out to be a spell that could turn anything into ice cream), and her and Rainbow Dash played an awesome prank on Big Mac by replacing his cart with a huge block of swiss cheese, and Rarity made a beautiful new dress for her, and Pinkie loved all the animals at Fluttershy's! The only thing she had left to do was go to Sweet Apple Acres to have dinner with Applejack and her family. Pinkie started her way over to the farm, wondering what they would be eating for dinner. As she was hopping along thinking about all the delicious foods they might eat, something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. It looked like something had just moved very quickly past her. "Ah, just my mind playing pranks on me. Brain, we already played pranks on Big Mac, remember" she said as she giggled at her own joke. But as she started hopping again, she saw this thing once more. "What was that" she asked to herself. Pinkie began to cautiously walk toward the farm again, looking out for this thing. As she was walking, she heard something walking in the nearby woods. Pinkie stopped and looked over to where she had heard the noise. What she saw was not what she was expecting it to be. She was expecting a deer or a squirrel, but no. This was definitely not a deer or squirrel. What she saw was a black cloud, roughly in the shape of a male pony. It stood at least a head taller than Big Mac (who is already a head taller than Pinkie) and was wider than a normal pony. He looked like a ghost, but he also looked like a real pony that you could touch and feel. Pinkie stood there motionless, not sure if she should make a run for Sweet Apple Acres, or not move at all, hoping to not be noticed. She decided to slowly walk toward the farm, keeping an eye on the pony. At first, the ghost pony had not noticed her, but when she began to move, it snapped its head in the direction of Pinkie, and let off a horrific, bloodcurdling scream. It began to charge at Pinkie. Pinkie ran as fast as she could, putting every ounce of strength she had toward her legs. She turned around to see that it was still following her. After what seemed like forever, Sweet Apple acres came into view. Pinkie turned around once more to see that the ghost pony had stopped following her. She ran to the door and knocked. Applejack opened the door, and before she could even say hi, Pinkie ran in. "What in tarnation is going on with you" AJ asked frantically. "You have GOT to hear what just happened to me" said Pinkie. As they ate dinner, Pinkie explained to Applejack what had happened. "That sounds like a mighty crazy story, sugarcube" said AJ as she ate the spaghetti Granny Smith had made. "Why don't ya have Big Mac walk ya home later? We wouldn't want ya to be chased by this thing again" inquired Applejack. Big Mac let out a grunt. He was still not happy with Pinkie about the whole 'replacing the cart with cheese' prank. "Oh, git over it, ya big red baby" Applebloom chimed in. "Well, Ah guess it was pretty funny. Allright, Ah'll walk ya home, Pinkie" Big Mac agreed. After they had finished eating dessert, Big Mac and Pinkie left, watching out for the ghost pony. They saw no sign of it. Finally, they reached Sugarcube Corner. "Thanks Big Mac" Pinkie said. Big Mac replied with his classic "Eeyup" and then started going home. "That was one crazy day. All I want to do now is go to bed" Pinkie said as she yawned. She walked up the stairs and into her room. She laid down on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.
