//------------------------------// // Chapter Five // Story: Seeing You Again // by Lavenderheart //------------------------------// "It looks perfect!" "No, I'm telling you, it needs more streamers!" "Uh, maybe more balloons.." "Nah, streamers are the way to go!" "O-okay..." ........ "Got them yet?" "Er, they're not there..." "AGAIN?!" Cheese and Pinkie had been setting up the Welcome Back party, and were having...difficulties. You see, their party supplies were...missing. And you can't have a party without party supplies, that's for sure. "Oh, what are we gonna DO?" Pinkie screeched. Cheese just shrugged, his head hanging low. "I-I guess we could just call off the party.." Pinkie gasped. "CALL OFF THE PARTY?! Are you nuts? This is your Welcome Back party, Cheesie! We've got to try." she stated firmly. Cheese muttered an "Okay." and kept looking for the supplies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash snickered. "Heh. This ought to get 'em together.." She fumbled with the binocular in her hooves. Pinkie Pie and Cheese looked sorta upset. "It'll be worth it..." Dash muttered. Suddenly, she heard a shrill voice behind her- "RAINBOW DASH." She whipped her head around to see a very angry looking Twilight. "Oh, uh, h-hi, Twi...what's up?" she stuttered, rubbing the base of her neck with her hoof. Twilight glared at her. "Might I ask WHY you are hiding behind a bush with a pair of binoculars, talking and laughing to yourself while staring at Pinkie and Cheese?" Dash started sweating. "Uh.." "Didn't I tell you not to force them together?" "Y-yeah, you did...but..." Dash squeaked. "I...I was desperate. I...took their party supplies to......uhm, distract them?" "Uh huh. Now, you could help out with the party instead of sitting behind a bush staring at ponies!" Twilight whisper-shouted. Dash winced, and rolled her eyes. "Fine." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pinkie sighed. Wow, this was gonna be a loooong day. Where in Equestria were those supplies? Oh well. At least she had Cheese. She blushed at the thought of him. Woah, woah, Pinkie, stop blushing. And stop talking to yourself, that's weird. Wait. Nevermind, I'm THINKING to myself! Oh no, I'm still blushing. Wait, Cheesie is staring at me...ohnoohnoohnoooo....He's giving me a weird look. Oh my cupcakes! Pinkamena Diane Pie, stop blu-blushing this instant! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cheese stared at Pinkie, giving her a weird look. Why was she...blushing so hard? "Uh, Pinkie? Are you...okay?" he asked. Pinkie stopped blushing for a moment and nodded. "I'm okie dokie lokie! Let's, uh, keep looking for th-those party supplies!" Cheese nodded. Little did they know, a certain cyan pegasus was still watching them from a distance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My ship is sailing!"
