Prompt: Musical





Twilight is my bestest friend, whoopee, whoopee!

One of the things you have to get used to about Pinkie Pie is that she’s very, very musical. It certainly took me long enough to get adjusted to the fact that there’s a 50% chance of her breaking out into song wherever you go. But now that I’ve figured it out, it only makes her more appealing. 

She’s the cutest, smartest, all-around best pony, pony!

Her voice is very pretty, a little annoying when you first hear it, but soon slips into a much more melodic tone that flows with just the right amount of pep. She’s still Pinkie Pie, but she’s not the random, hyperactive pony I first met when I came to Ponyville anymore. You hear her music, and you hear her soul. 

And that’s why I’m so lucky – lucky, lucky,

Of course, not everything she sings is dramatic, full of depth. It can be silly, bouncy, fun, about any topic in the world – quite literally. I would know – she’s burst into ballads in the middle of the woods before, and more than once while just walking around town. But her music, no matter how giggle-inducing, is always beautiful, just like her. 

that she’s dating a silly old filly like me! 

All these thoughts and more fly through my head as Pinkie finishes her short performance and takes a bow, panting ever-so-slightly. “Did you like it, Twili?” Bouncy blue eyes eagerly anticipate my reaction, ready to soak up the positive praise she’s sure I’m going to deliver, and she’s right. I trot over to her, enveloping her warm pink figure in a hug. 

“Of course I did, Pinkie.” I nuzzle her neck affectionately, and she snickers as I find her ticklish spot. “I love all your music.”

Her giggles stop abruptly, and she twists out of my embrace to peer up into my eyes. “You’re sure you’re not just saying that?” Her tone is cautious, wary of the ground she’s stepping on. “You’re sure I’m not annoying? Because ponies have told me I’m annoying before, and I don’t want to be annoying, Twilight.”

“Are you kidding?” I roll my eyes and hug her closer. “If you weren’t musical, you wouldn’t be Pinkie Pie anymore.” 

She snuggles against me contentedly, fear melting away, as I close my eyes, delivering the final sentence.

“And I love you just the way you are.”
