It was another cheery day in Ponyville. The leaves danced on the gentle leaves, and the sweet smell of spring was in the air. The smell was coming from a bouncing mare who was spreading joy to the hearts and hooves of those around her. Sighing inwards, I knew I wouldn't have the strength or the courage to ask her out. Sometimes life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.
On a day like today, the 15th of may the sunny skies over head would usually make way for a great and grand day out.

I had been walking through the park, watching as the young fillies played thier games, enjoying themselves. The sight couldn't help but make you smile.
these days though, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. They had friends who wouldn't really leave them. They had thier who lives together in a sense.
but me?

Ha...

I was alone, so to speak.
The fact is, its not that I am alone... I just feel.... abandoned.
Times change, ponies change... and all the while, I stay the same.
Its funny actually, the most friendliest, laid back pony had abandonment issues. yeah...real funny
"Hey, Fame? are you okay?"
A voice was heard behind me. I faked a smile and continued on, "never better,"
My smile faltered slightly as i turned to face the speaking mare "Pinkie". she could see something was bothering me.
It was at that moment she pulled me into a hug. "remember if there's anything wrong you can always talk to auntie Pinkie"

Little by little, Pinkie could see I was having trouble opening up.
"Pinkie, as much as I appreciate the... emotional pillar you gave me... I'm..." I sighed mid-sentance as she shot me the most heart warming smile I had seen in a long while. we continued our trotting and wound up in a cafe. I took a seat by the window. "I'm nothing more than a.....jeez.. I don't even know the word...."
"I know what you are," Pinkie looked at me with an insightful look. "you're lonely"
the fake smile had completely gone, and I simply nodded.

She confirmed her own suspicions about me.
"I'm not just lonely, I'm... pathetic....I'm just as bad as those idiots drinking thier lives away in some seedy rundown bar, when the lights always flicker and the beer tastes like ass and..... and...... I think I'm in love with you, and that just makes things even worse for me"

"Why?" she exclaimed "why does that make things worse for you?" she asked.

I mentally kicked myself in the head for saying anything. "because..... because I don't know who I am anymore,"
It was true, I've lost myself to the facade that was a happy stallion with a penchant for madcap situations.
but the reality was that I would constantly get myself into these messes for fear of being alone.
I would constantly seek out dangerous situations in order to get noticed.

I suddenly felt a hoof bonk me on the head.
"you silly pony, I know who you are," Pinkie Beamed.
I raised an eyebrow.
"you're Bright Fame, a talented musician who knows how to party, you also know how to bake muffins,"
She continued an extremely long list until I noticed a blush forming on her face. ""and thats why you wont be alone...because you'll have me to pick you up when your down..."
"wait what?... are you saying?"
she simply nodded and pecked me on the cheeck.

"check please!"


the sounds of bits hitting the counter was heard as I phazed in and out of my own irrational thought is this a dream? am I... dead? my thoughts of doubt were abruptly silenced as I was once again brought out of a trance by getting pecked on the cheek. "you're doing that thing again"
"thinking? yeah... it hurts a bit doesnt it" we shared a laugh.
there was distinct noise in the background as we walked together, both of us grinning like idiots and sharing a few kisses.
however, as I looked up, I was met with a pair of very annoyed magneta eyes, "Pinkie Pie, there you are... wait you're not Pinkie Pie" the Cyan pegasus sighed as she reached behind me, grabbing the mare in question. "Pinkie, I thought we were pranking today remeber?"

"oh, silly Dashie, I forgot about that, something... important came up" Pinkie blushed. Rainbow Dash caught on quickly. she noticed my goofy grin. "well...nice goin' Fame, landing yourself with Equestria's most random Mare" the rainbow maned pegasus chuckled. she then whispered in my ear a warning. "if you break her heart i'll snap that horn of yours off"
I smiled sheepishly, more worried about which horn she.'d snap off "oh and one more thing,"

she then smiled, speaking within Pinkie's hearing range. "Happy Birthday Fame"
there was a loud gasp and Pinkie disappeared. "was that good?" I chuckled.

within a few moments a rainbow streak had shot off into the distance.
I was again left smiling, somepony had actually remembered my birthday. it was a rare thing.
if this was manehattan or fillydelphia, I'd probably be wallowing in self pity at some bar somewhere. but now?
heh... if I was a dirty minded colt (no promises there) I'd probably say I'd be under or ontop of pinkie within an instance...

but guys like me are hard to comeby these days, Rarity said it herself, I had manners, neutral manners, I can be a pig, I can be a gentlecolt.
but she also said that whoever gets me will be extremely lucky.
thats bullshit.

i'm the lucky one. lucky to have friends like these and lucky to have her in my life finally
