//------------------------------// // Day 3 // Story: C.S. Pie // by DecadantHandshake //------------------------------// You won't believe who I met this day. It was... fantastic, seeing her again. But we will get to that soon. I felt awful about how I treated Dashwood that day. If I had another chance to see him, I would have apologised. Me and Jiggles decided one of us should sit at opposite sides of the alleyway. I tried to talk to him, but I think he thinks I'm a total bitch now... I guess I kinda am. It was a silent day, no kids showed up. But someone did though. Heres how it went. I heard a loud boingy noise, like a spring. It came from the other side of the alley. I listened to Jiggles talk to a girl with a high pitched voice. They only talked for a short while, then the bouncing noise continued. I sighed, knowing whatever it was would be approaching me soon. It came around the round corner and I had only seen her out of the corner of my eye, but it was enough to draw my complete attention. Pinkie! She had a determined, serious look on her face, but when she saw me it all melted. "Blinkie!" She shouted as she soared through the air and toppled on top of me. She wrapped me in a big hug, and I returned it as best I could. "Pinkie, I didn't know you were here." "I didn't know you were here either! I'm too busy reading TMJ, I couldn't read C.S. Pie! Sorry..." "It's alright." Whatever it is you're talking about... "What do you do here in Ponyville?" "I'm a baker!" "Baker huh? I thought you would be a party thrower... Seems more of your way to make a living." "Well I throw lots of parties, but I make them free so everypony can come. It would be no fun if not everyone could come. So why are you here?" "Well... I don't know, I probably shouldn't tell you." "I could Pinkie Promise not to share if that would help." I stalled at first, but said okay. She did that little chant we made up as kids, then I told her. "I'm here to guard the body." I motioned down the alley. She gasped. "Ohh! That reminds me! I'm supposed to find someone..." She looked all around the place. "But I don't see her anywhere." "Who are you looking for?" "My friend Herbert got his feelings hurt yesterday. I tricked him into telling me where and who did it" Oh... Crap... "Pinkie... That pony who hurt his feelings was me." She looked at me for a moment, then laughed. "Oh don't be silly, he said the pony who did it was mean. You're not mean! Now help me find them." Why do you need to be so... difficult Pinkie? "Did he describe her?" She nodded. "He said she has whitish grey hair, kinda like yours, and she has a stoney purple coat, like yours, and yellow eyes, just like yours!" "...And?" "Well I know he described you, but I don't want it to be you so I'm just going to keep lying to myself and say its not you. Now help me find the..." She stopped her cheery attitude. In fact, she stopped talking all together. "Uhh... Pinkie?" "Why were you mean to my friend?" There is no excuse for my behavior... Am I racist? I considered maybe I was just a racist against other races? I don't think so though, since I had that one griffon fuck budy. "I... I don't... I was scared?" She just looked at me "That's it? Why? What were you even scared of?" "I... I think he killed that pegasus?" "You what? Well..." She was silent for a bit as she seemed to be thinking about something. "Oh! That explains what happens in that other chapter. I guess I shouldn't skip so far ahead. It really gets confusing when you do that." Pinkie... Why do you always do that? "Well... I still want you to apologize to him, okay?" "...Okay, yes. I want to but... Can you bring him here? I should stay around the body." She shook her head. "No, that would interfere with the rest of the story. I'm not supposed to see him again for months, maybe years ." Don't question it. Don't question it. "Well... Okay then..." "But would you please do me a favor?" "Hm?" "Come visit me at sugar cube corner on Friday. Please?" "But... I can't leave the body." "Oh please?! That guy down there is pretty strong on his own... he can do it alone for just a day right?" She looked so pleading... Why did she want me to come with... No, I knew why. She missed me, and I missed her. Not as much as Maud has been missing her, but we all still miss her alot. She still doesn't know about what happened to daddy... Maybe that would be a good time to tell her. "Okay Pinkie. I'll come to Sugar Cube Corner tomorrow. I promise." She looked so happy, I almost didn't feel bad about what I knew would follow. She went on her way, and so the rest of the day was spent turning away small kids who were probably wanting to see the body.
