A beam of light shined into my eyes and awoke me. I was still hanging on to Cheese's arm and he rested his head on my mane.
"Hehe! Wake up Cheesy we're almost there!"
"...huh?" He woke up and muttered.
"Good morning Sleepy Head!"
' *yawn* Good Morning Pinkie."
"How did you sleep?"
"Slept like a newborn foal! How about you?"
" Best sleep I've had in years!"
Cheese looked out the window. "Hey we're in Baltimare! We have about 15 minutes until we finally arrive! Are you excited?"
" Not just excited... super duper excited! I feel like I'm gonna burst!"
"Don't burst Pinkie! I don't want you to blow up!"
"Hehe! Cheesy I'll try not to."
"Great. I'd be really sad if you did. I'd really miss you,"
"I'd miss you too. I'll try to show my enthusiasm a little more."
"Yay-"
"OH MY CELESTIA CHEESY!! WE'RE GOING TO MANEHATTAN! omagashomagashomagash!" I shook Cheese. "Can you believe it?!"
"Haha! Yes I can Pinkie! Just wait to we get there! We'll have loads of fun."
'Yeah...Can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it Pinkie?"
"Did you enjoy your time in Ponyville?"
"I really did. Despite the elaborate plot that your friends came up with, being with you was a lot of fun."
"Ugh don't remind me...I'm still a little agitated."
"I'm sorry for bringing it up."
"It's okay..."
"I also enjoyed being with you for the last three days. I'm glad I came here, I would have never gotten to know you better if I didn't come to Ponyville. I really like you Pinkie and I'm excited to work with you again."
"I really like you too Cheesy." I wondered should I confess... we already went on a date and kissed. Should I admit my feelings? I really wanted to but I was interrupted,
"Pinkie... I have to tell you something..."
"Yes? I have something to tell you as well..." Was he going to confess?
"...Pinkie, I just wanted to tell you...that I think that you're an amazing pony...and..."
"Yeah?"
"A-and I like you..."
"Awww that's really sweet Cheesy. I like you too. "
"...Pinkie. I like you. Like I like like you."
What did he mean by "like like"? Did he like me as a friend or... Oh my.
His face turned red. "...I-I.." He kept stammering and couldn't make a sentence. So I finished it for him.
"Shhh" I put my hoof up to his lips." " Cheese. It's alright I understand. I like you that way too. I like you more than I can explain. You make me happy and make me laugh, I feel so happy when I'm with you. You make me feel better about myself and I'm grateful for that. Thank you so much."
I kissed him and this time he kissed back. It was brief but sweet.
"Hehe" he chuckled. I smiled back. "Are you able to speak now Cheesy?"
"...You pretty much said everything I wanted to say. I really...Like you Pinkie. You are an amazing pony and talented and sweet..."
He blushed even harder. I didn't know that it was so hard for him to confess. He held my hoof in his.
"I really care about you and I'm glad we feel the same way about each other."
He stared into my eyes and I stared into his. His huge emerald green eyes sparkled in the sunlight and I found it to be quite beautiful. His chocolate brown hair was perfectly curled and one fell down to his face. It was really cute.
We sat in silence until our gaze was broken by the squealing brakes.
"Next stop, Manehattan!" The speaker announced.
"Oh boy! We're almost there!" I looked out the window and saw that the train was traveling over the bridge to Manehattan.
"I can't believe we're finally here!"
"Me too Pinkie!"
"We have arrived at Manehattan Station. Please check your seats for any belongings. Have a nice day and we hope you enjoyed your trip on the Pony Express."
"Let's go Pinkie! We have some planning to do!" We grabbed our luggage from above the seats and left the car.
We left the station and I wondered what we're we going to do next.
"Cheesy what do you have planned for today?"
"Well let's see...I have to take you to my hotel room. I've been staying there for about a week."
"Huh... Okay what else?"
"After we get settled, I want to go to Starstruck's condo. I didn't tell them I left or wanted to advance the planning appointment."
"Hmm...Okey doke! How far is the hotel?"
"About a 10 minute walk."
"Sounds fun!"
We walked into the bustling city. Manehattan is very different from Ponyville. Ponies are a little meaner, some are sad, and everypony moves super fast! I'm glad to be here though. It's a nice change.
"What do you think Pinkie?"
"It's really different. I've been here before but it just seems a little different."
"Oh don't worry about it. You'll get used to it."
I was walking with Cheese when suddenly a pony bumped into me.
"Oh I'm sorry-"
"Can't you see I'm walking here?!"
"Sorry..."
"Your apologies mean nothing!"
"But I-"
"Whatever!" The strange pony walked off grumbling and walked into the street. He nearly got hit by a few carriages but kept yelling at the drivers.
"Cheese, is it bad that I wanted him to get hit by a carriage?"
"A little Pinkie. Just a little. But I just think that that pony needs a little happiness."
"... I guess he does." I took some time to think about this. There are a lot of unhappy ponies here. More than in Ponyville. In Ponyville, I can easily cheer up any pony. Even Cranky! But I guess it's because these ponies don't know me...
"We're here Pinkie!"
We arrived at an extravagant hotel. It was huge and shiny! Cheese escorted me into the lobby and spoke with the hotel manager. In was in another language that I didn't understand. How many languages did Cheese know?
"Come on Pinkie!" He took me into the elevator. The elevator was golden with a velvet floor. Cheese pushed a series of buttons and elevator rose.
"W-whoa!" I hadn't been on an elevator before and the ride was thrilling yet scary.
"It's okay Pinkie!" I grabbed onto him.
"This is s-so weird!"
"Hehe it'll be fine!"
The elevator dinged and the doors slid open. Cheese lead me our of the elevator and took me to a room. It had the number "2714" bolted on in a golden plate.
"Welcome to my room! Oh... You can have Boneless's bed. I forgot I had two beds.Oh well!"
"Thanks Cheesy. Sorry Boneless for taking your bed."
Boneless slouched.
"Hehe! He said its okay Pinkie. He will just bunk with me."
Cheese placed Boneless and began unpacking. I began unpacking as well and put my things into the dresser. As I unpacked I found the giant book of party ideas I kept.
"Hey Cheese! Do you think this will be handy at the meeting today?"
Cheese turned and gave a excited look.
"Of course! I completely forgot about your idea book. We should have them look through it when they come."
"Come? I thought we were meeting them."
"We were. It seems like they wanted to meet today as well. That's why I spoke to manager. He says that Starstruck and Magnolia will come in a few minutes."
"Oh. I guess that's fine too."
"Hey don't be so glum! We're planning a party Aren't you excited?"
"I am...I just wanted to see more of Manehattan."
"How about we go sight seeing? Not today of course but soon."
"That sounds like fun."
"Yay-"
A knock on the door interrupted him. He went to answer it and greeted the guests.
"Hello Magnolia! Hey Starstruck! Come on in!"
The couple walked in, and Cheese introduced me to them.
"Magnolia and Starstruck, this is Pinkie Pie. She's helping me plan your wedding."
"It's nice to meet you."said Starstruck.
"Hi." Said Magnolia shyly.
"The honor is all mine! I can't wait to get started."
"So, did you both agree on how the wedding should be organized?"
"Somewhat. We agreed on the cake. A tall vanilla cake with Apple slices." said Starstruck.
"Perfect!"
"We actually already have a caterer lined up and everything! They specialize in apples so we thought you two would like that."I told them.
"That sounds amazing. I love it. We haven't been able to decide on our wedding. "
"I actually have an idea." I opened my book of party ideas.
"I think a party in the sky would be nice. It's simple yet big! Can you tell me any pony who has had their wedding in the sky? Not even pegasi get married there."
"She's right Star. Pegasi don't get married in the sky. We usually have on land because nopony can do an official one in the clouds..."
"I guess so Maggie... I actually like that. But how would I get there? I can't fly."
"I know some pony who can preform a cloud walking spell. We'll all use that and be on our merry way!"
The couple looked at each other in awe. "What? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing Ms.Pie. We 're just excited." said Magnolia.
"I'm happy for you both! Oh and please call me Pinkie."
"I'm just glad we could work this all out." Said Starstruck.
Magnolia whispered into Starstruck's ear.
"I'm sorry but we have to go. We'll try to come back soon."
"It's okay!" Said Cheese.
"Bye you two!"
Cheese escorted Magnolia and Starstruck out but before they left, Starstruck pulled Cheese to the side and spoke to him.
"Uh huh. Hmmm....No! Hmmm... I guess... That sounds okay.... Alright."
Starstruck nodded and left.
"Uh...What just happened Cheesy?"
"Oh... It's a surprise. Wait and see okay?"
"I love surprises!!"
I was really anxious to know what was the surprise. I didn't want to know because it would take the fun out of it. I hope whatever it is... Will be a doozy!
