Sonata walked down the city road kicking a rock with her arms crossed. ''What should I do now'', she thought out loud to herself.
All of a sodding she was grabbed from behind and pulled towards the entrance to the City Zoo. "You can help me sell some sweets", Said hyperly by a pink haired girl.
"Wait..." Sonata said trying to get the girl to stop. 'I think I know this girl, but what is she doing, and why me', she thought to herself.
"Don't worry silly, Fluttershy messaged me and told me all about the park. " She turned her head and smiled at Sonata. "I'm Pinkie Pie, If you can't remember my name." Pinkie had the biggest and kindest smile on her face. "And we are going to have so much fun."
Sonata forced a smile while being dragged by Pinkie.
They had reached a cotton candy stand that was next to an Alligator pit. The Stand was bright pink with blue strips across it. Pinkie opened the back of the stand an inside it was different color sugars, and different colored sticks. Pinkie turned on the machine and dumped in some sugar. Sonata watched in pure amazement as Pinkie grabbed 2 sticks and stuck them in the swirling sugar and pulled out the most perfect sticks of cotton candy with the perfect swirl of rainbow colors. She stuck the sticks on top of 2 hats and handed one to Sonata.
"Here put this on so people will know your with me." Pinkie said as she herself put on the other hat.
Sonata grabbed the hat and smiled. As she placed it on her head she asked "Why did you grab me and why do you want my help? I mean I did try to help take over your school."
Pinkie Pie giggled " Yeah, that was kinda fun." Sonata look confused.
"If you guys hadn't try to take over the school with dark magic, then we wouldn't have been able to fix our band to become even more awesome. Then Twilight wouldn't have come to visit again, and Sunset Shimmer wouldn't have become part of our band. So it was fun, and now Sunset gets to play with us instead of just watching us play." Pinkie laughed, " I bet that would make a great movie." She said with a smile.
Sonata smiled and for a while just watched in continued amazement at the clear skill Pinkie had at creating beautiful candy art with the cotton candy. Sonata interlocked her fingers and walked behind Pinkie, "Can, can I try." She asked as if she knew that the answer would be no.
Pinkie's eyes lite up, "OF COURSE" she said with the biggest smile ever. "First thing you got to do is dump in the amount of sugar you are going to use, each one of the colors has a little cup that tells you how much to use. For example the blue one you can see on the cup it has 4 lines, If your going to use just blue you will fill the cup to the top, If your going to use blue and pink you will fill the blue up only 2 lines, and if your,''
Sonata interrupted, "Ok, I get that part. Then what."
Pinkie giggled, " Well you dump the sugar in here one color at a time and then take the stick here and wrap it around the spinning sugar. Once it looks done you pull it out. Easy-pezy Lemon squeezy. "
Sonata tried one color first, she dumped in the sugar and stuck in the stick, and swirled it and swirled it and the sugar wrapped up the stick and around her hand. Sonata jumped back with a squeak.
"Awwe, that's ok try again." Pinkie said as she helped wipe off the sugar and handed Sonata another stick.
Sonata got sugar over her hand the next 5 times. Before she even tried again she sat down knees bent and arms cross over them. "I'm useless. " Sonata then stuck her head on her knees.
"No your not," Pinkie said as she stuck out her hand towards Sonata. "Your trying and giving it your all and that's all that matters."
Sonata looked up and wiped a small tear from her eye. She reached out and grabbed Pinkies hand, with a small smile on her face.
"See, Trust old Pinkie Pie." Pinkie said as she pulled Sonata quickly to her feet. "Now, give it one more shot and this time try moving the stick up and down, and watch the sugar. If it starts to get close to your hand, pull the stick up."
Pinkie handed Sonata another stick. Sonata thought to herself, 'I wish she would have told me that little tip sooner.'
"Silly. I would have told you sooner but you were getting all worked up and you wouldn't have listen to me." Pinkie said with a smile.
Sonata looked confused, 'how did she know what I was thinking.' Sonata forced a smile on her face, the corner of her lip twitching. "Ok?"
Sonata looked at the cotton candy machine, focused, ready. She dumped in the sugar and started to create a cotton candy stick. Once the Stick was full she pulled it out, stuck her arm out and held it up high and yelled "I DID IT!"
**BAM**
Sonata jumped, quickly pulling her arms in close to her, with a look of shock on her face. Pinkie Pie had fired off her party canon. "HOORAY SONATA!" Pinkie yelled as confetti and streamers started to fall everywhere.
"Where did you get a canon?" Sonata asked smiling but still confused.
"Oh I keep them all over town," Pinkie leaned in towards Sonata's ear "Just in case I need to celebrate something" Pinkie whispered to Sonata, but something told Sonata that, that was no big secret.
*Buzz Buzz* Pinkie picked up and looked at her phone. She gasped in a way only Pinkie would gasp. "Rarity is in need of one more model for her fashion show. She says that one of her models dropped out due to being sick or something.''
Sonata looked at Pinkie.
"Oh my gosh, Sonata you should go."
"Wait, What, No? I don't even know her and remember the whole Dazzlings thing. And besides she asked you.'' Sonata said with a panic. 'Just cause 2 of them like me doesn't mean anyone else from that school will.'
"Oh, your being silly and besides I already told Rarity I was sending someone else." Pinkie said while grabbing the hat off Sonata's head and pushing her towards the zoo's exit. "Go on, it will be fun. Rarity's store is the Carousel Boutique right outside the mall." Pinkie giggled, "You can't miss it."
Sonata started to walk toward the mall looking back to see Pinkie Pie waving good-bye. She still had her one good cotton candy stick in her hand and decided on the way there she was going to just eat it.
Pinkie smile "I didn't tell Rarity who I was sending," Giggling.
