"Hiya, Applejack and Big Mac! What can I get ya?” the bubbly pink pony asked as she saw her friends seated at a table. “How ‘bout a fresh muffin? They just came out of the oven! I should know, I almost burned myself!”
“Actually, Pinkie, we came to ask ya for some help,” Applejack spoke.
“Help? Like what kind of help? Help you fight off hunger, cause I’m super good at that! Or what about helping you around the farm, because I like helping with that! Or is it more serious, like fighting off King Sombra? Is King Sombra back?! Do we have to fight him off?!” The pink mare grew more and more excited with each statement.
“No, it’s not anythin’ like that, Pinkie Pie. Why do ya always jump to such crazy conclusions like that?” Applejack asked.
Pinkie simply shrugged, “I have a flair for the dramatic. Plus, it’s fun to act out!”
Not wanting to push that conversation any further, Applejack continued, “Anyway, Big Mac here is in need of some help. Ya see, he’s got himself a date fer Hearts an’ Hooves Day and we’re wonderin’ if-“
Pinkie interjected herself, cutting Applejack off, “Oh, a date! That’s superly-duperly great!”
A bit annoyed, Applejack tried to continued from where she was interrupted, “And we were wonderin’ if ya could help him out with some advice fer havin’ a good conversation with his date.”
“Oh, you need help with having a good date conversation? Then I’m the perfect pony for the job! I always love having a good chat with anypony, especially with it comes to….well, just about anything! Like, this one time with Fluttershy, we were talking about how Gummy helps out with the baking in the kitchen! This one time, he was, um, helping me make batter for scones, and told me to add more blueberries into the mix. And I was telling him that I already put in the recommended amount, but he kept insisting that I add more and you know what? He was right, they were better with twice the blueberries!”
During Pinkie Pie’s rambling, Applejack and Big Mac exchanged eye contact. Both seemed unsure what Pinkie Pie was getting at.
Pinkie Pie continued, “And those scones sold very well! But Gummy told me not to make those super blueberry scones everyday, because then they wouldn’t be as special! So we only make them on the third Thursday of the month, as per Gummy’s instructions!”
“You….talk to yer pet alligator?” Big Mac managed to ask during a brief window of time when Pinkie Pie was needing to breath in air.
“Of course!”
“An’ ya can understand it?”
“Of course! I know how to speak alligator! How else would I be able to understand his really funny jokes!” Pinkie giggled. “Oh, lemme tell ya one of his best ones! What do you get when you cross a pegasus and a stick of butter?”
Applejack was starting to lose her patience with her pink friend, “As much as ah’m sure both Big Mac an’ ah would love to hear the punch line, we both-“
“A butterfly!” Pinkie blurted out at the top of her lungs with a wide smile.
“We both would are wondering if ya can help him out,” Applejack finished her statement.
“Hmm,” Pinkie thought for a moment, “when it comes to having a good conversation, just have fun! It’s important for both parties to be happy, cause when both parties are happy, it’s like one big happy party!”
“Alright, thanks fer yer input, Miss Pie,” Big Mac spoke with a small smile.
“Always happy to help! By the way, have you went to Rarity to ask for her help? I’m sure she would thrilled to help you, Big Mac!” Pinkie Pie said. “Now, as much as I would love to stay and keep talking, I need to get back to work, the lunch rush is about to come on in! Buh-bye!”
As quickly as she appeared, Pinkie Pie disappeared through the busy Sugarcube Corner.
“She has boundless energy,” Big Mac commented.
“That she does.”
