A Pie Long Forgotten

by Angel of Snow


A Clock

It was a summer day in Ponyville, and everypony was out enjoying the warm weather. After helping out with her chores at Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie Pie decided to pay Twilight a visit.

She knocked on the door repeatedly, "Twilight? Twilight, are you home?! Smart-cookie?!"

"Oh, hello, Pinkie." Twilight had answered the door.

"Wanna go have a picnic, or maybe go swimming? Oh, I know! How about a tea party?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

Twilight's ears folded back, and she didn't have an enthusiastic look on her face, "I'm sorry, Pinkie Pie, really...I just can't today. You caught me at a bad time."

Pinkie Pie asked, "Why? I thought you loved hanging out with me. Y-You're not mad at me, are you?"

"No, I'm not, it's just the princesses have summoned me to Canterlot to prepare a royal banquet for the leaders of the other lands. You see, they are having a meeting today. Princess Celestia also requested I'd stay, so they can meet me." Twilight responded to her pink friend.

"Oh...I get it...I guess I'll just go now..." Pinkie Pie sadly said.

Twilight sighed heavily, "Do you want to house-sit for me until I get back? I should return by morning."

Pinkie Pie's eyes lit up, she ran over to her friend, and gave her a giant hug, "Yay! Thanks, Twilight! Don't worry, I'll take superly good care of your house!" She put her hoof up to her forehead to solute.

"I count on it, just please don't destroy anything while I'm away..." Twilight hesitantly remarked.

Pinkie Pie smiled, "Don't worry! I won't let anything bad happen!"

"Alright then...goodbye." Twilight said, walking away.

"See you in a while, crocodile!" Pinkie Pie waved, then went back in, closing the door behind her. She then hummed a song as she dusted her friend's house. After she was done, she sighed, as she was bored. "Ugh...I didn't know house-sitting would be soooo boring!"

Owlicious came along and hooted.

"Oh, hiya, Owlicious! How are you?" Pinkie Pie jumped up and questioned.

"Who." Owlicious replied.

Pinkie Pie giggled, "You, silly!"

"Who?" Owlicious repeated.

"...I can see you can't say anything else. Welp, I'm just gonna go upstairs!" Pinkie Pie bounced up the stairs into Twilight's room. Owlicious flew behind her, suspicious of what she was going to do.

Pinkie gasped, "Whoa! Pretty, shiny...sparkly! Gee, how many inventions can Twilight make?!"

Owlicious gave a warning hoot, but Pinkie Pie ignored him.

"Ohh, what's this?!" Pinkie Pie read the label out-loud on the back of the device, "Time-Travel Clock...Do NOT Touch."

Pinkie Pie laughed, "Oh, silly Twilight! She forgot all about Opposite Day! This means that I CAN touch it!" She threw it around her neck, as it was a necklace with a clock on it. "Hmm...how do you work this thing?" Pinkie saw a red button on the side, and pressed it.

"Huh, nothing is happening." Pinkie Pie said to herself. Then, she began to fade away and she laughed as she was being pulled away through a portal, "Wheeee!!!"
