//------------------------------// // Longing - Next Gen Wonderbolt // Story: The Twinkie Group Collab! // by Drizzle Quill //------------------------------// Author: Next Gen Wonderbolt Prompt: Longing Pinkie Pie lay sprawled out on the floor in the Golden Oaks library. Her eyes rested on the front door to the tree obviously waiting for something or someone to come through. She sighed circling her hoof in the wooden floor occasionally sneaking a glance at the door again. She let out a frustrated groan, rolling over onto her back. "Where. Is. She!?" She nearly yelled. "Pinkie, relax. She's just getting some apple pie from Applejack." Spike replied calmly. "I know that silly!" Pinkie giggled a little and sat up. "But she said she'd be back in a jiffy and a jiffy is super fast! You remember that time we all became super powered in your comic book and I was flash and dash?" "Yeah?" "That's how fast she would have to be!" Pinkie threw up her hooves to exaggerate falling back onto her back. Spike shrugged his shoulders walking into the kitchen leaving Pinkie Pie laying in the living room. The distressed party mare stared at the ceiling, reasons for Twilight being late forming rapidly. "What if Applejack got attacked by the vampire fruit bats again and now Twilight and Applejack are vampire hunters roaming Equestria searching for vampires to fight and protect everypony from becoming Flutterbats? Or what if Flim and Flam came back trying to take over the acres with a new invention that controls pony's minds? Or-" She was interrupted by a creaking door. She lifted her head up directing her eyes towards the front door. A purple hoof stepped through the opening giving Pinkie all the reason she needed to lunge for it. "Spike, Pin-" Twilight was interrupted by a pink blurb tackling and pinning her to the floor. "TWILIGHT!" Pinkie yelled before kissing her fiance. After her momentary shock subsided, the librarian returned the kiss with slightly more force. Pinkie broke the kiss shortly after, to Twilight's disappointment, with a big happy grin that only she could manage. "I was sooooo worried! I thought that the vampire fruit bats had returned and that you and Applejack had become vampire hunters fighting vampires preventing more ponies from becoming Flutterbats and that you guys had to..." Twilight zoned out, not hearing the rest of her finace's tale. She instead focused on the party mare's vibrant energy that she always had with her, or the way she could always make someone smile, or even how she almost never frowns. "Twilight?" Pinkie asked. "Yes?" Twilight replied. The party mare nuzzled her finace lovingly placing a kiss on her cheek. "I missed you." "I was only gone for five minutes!" "So!? Five minutes without you is like a liftime without parties!" Pinkie shouted. Twilight smiled placing a kiss on Pinkie's forehead. Even if it did seem a little overboard, Pinkie was right. 5 minutes without Pinkie was like a lifetime without books, and nobody messes with her books. Especially the one where the princess and the party mare get married and live happily ever after in a tree.
