//------------------------------// // Questions left Unanswered // Story: Lovebirds // by raritypie //------------------------------// I woke up to find Gummy nibbling on my tail. "Hehehe Gummy you're adorable!" "Gummy what do you think Cheesy has planned for tonight?" Gummy blinked. "I agree Gummy. Whatever it is its going to be fun!" I just wonder what should I do to prepare..." Maybe I should go to Fluttershy's... Perhaps she'd know what to do. I went to Fluttershy's cottage and saw that she was feeding the animals. "Hey Flutters!" "Oh hi Pinkie."She peeked her head out of the window. "Can we talk?" "Sure come on in."Fluttershy opened the door and I walked inside. "What did you want to talk about?" "Cheese and I have a date tonight." "Oh really Pinkie? How wonderful." "Yeah it is... I just don't know what to do. Do I dress up? What do I bring?" "Maybe you should relax. I have an idea Pinkie!" "Yeah?" "Why not get a makeover?" "Yeah! I'll go to Rarity's and-" "NO!! Don't go. I'll give you one." "Really? Oh why not it's going to be fun! Hey why don't you want me to go to Rarity's" "Well I...uh.. she's busy! Can't I just do it?" "... I guess. If I can't go to Rarity's you're my next option!" "Yay. Let's start with the dress." Fluttershy got out her sewing kit. It was kinda small compared to Rarity's. She took out her measuring tape and began to measure my body. "Hehehe that tickles!" "Stay still Pinkie. We need to have accurate measurements." "Oki Doki" Fluttershy had Angel write the measurements down in her notepad. "Next it's time to pick out the fabrics." Fluttershy opened a door within her closet. It was full to the brim with fabrics. "Wow Flutters! I didn't know you were a fashionista too." "Well Rarity isn't the only one with a passion for fashion." I giggled. The fabrics were really beautiful. Some were shiny, some were simple and some had complex patterns. "What color do you want your dress?" "Hmmmm. A blue! No...orange! Maybe yellow! Awwww why is it so hard to choose?" "I'll pick one for you. I hope you like it." Fluttershy flew up to a shelf and brought out a sky blue fabric. "I love it!!" "I knew you would." "Seriously Flutters you should become a fashion designer!" "It isn't for me sorry... I enjoy making clothes for my animal friends though." "Whatever floats your boat." Flutters pulled out a sewing machine out of the closet. "How are you going to use that?" "I'm not. My animal friends will help sew." Fluttershy's animals rushed in from every crevice. A bear, several mice, kittens, bunnies and birds all came in to help her. "Thank you all so very much for helping Pinkie and I." The animals chirped in response. "Okay Pinkie. The dress may take a while. I think you should go home and rest a little.Today is a big day after all!" "But I'm not sleepy!" Fluttershy pushed me out the door. "I'm sorry Pinkie. Go rest up okay? Angel will come and get you when we're ready." I walked back to town slowly. Why did he kick me out? Why couldn't I go to Rarity's? These mysteries bothered me. I was near SugarCube corner when I saw Cheesy and Rarity talking by the vendor stands. "Cheesy! Rarity!" I waved at them. Cheesy looked at me and opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak. Rarity grabbed his hoof and ran out of town square. "C-cheese?" What just happened? I was confused... I walked to SugarCube corner. It was hard for me to see because I couldn't stop crying. My hair no longer in its poofy state, I felt depressed. What were my friends hiding from me? I ran inside SugarCube corner and found nobody there. Not even the Cakes were home. I walked up the stairs, laid in my bed and squeezed Gummy until I felt a little better. "Why won't anypony listen to me Gummy? Why is everypony running away?" "Gummy blinked. "You're right Gummy... maybe I should I do something about it." I laid on my bed to think it over,until I heard a patter of steps. Angel came into my bedroom. "What do you want?" Angel squeaked and did some motions with his paws. "Oh the dress is ready.Great." I got up and followed him back to the cottage. Fluttershy welcomed me. "Welcome back Pinkie. Here's your dress!" A sky blue puffy dress was on a mannequin. "What do you think about it?" "It's fine...I guess." "Yay. Now let's do your hair! Oh my. Pinkie did you straighten your hair?" "No." "I wonder how it got this way. Well now we don't have to straighten it. That's saves a lot of time." Fluttershy gently brushed my hair. She curled the ends and put a rose in my hair. "Pinkie you look lovely!" Fluttershy handed me a mirror. I looked very different. I guess because of my hair and it was really hard for me to smile. "Pinkie let's put on the dress. My birds will help us." I didn't resist. Fluttershy's birds slid the dress onto my body. What do you think about the dress?" "What do I think? WHAT DO I THINK? Do you wanna know what I THINK?" "U-um yes?" Fluttershy cowered in fear. "I think I wanna know why isn't anyone talking to me?! Why could I go to Rarity? Why is Cheese ignoring me...." I began to cry again and nearly ruined the dress. "Pinkie..." "Answer me Flutters! Tell me why!?" I started screaming maniacally because of this chaos. Why does all of this cause me pain?! Fluttershy continued to cower in fear and didn't answer. She whispered something silently. All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my back and passed out. Unconsciously... I wondered.. Why are my friends hurting me? What happened? What did I do to be treated this way?
