//------------------------------// // The Special Day // Story: Pinkie's Little Crush // by Lazypoisonfl //------------------------------// EpicBG inspired me to write this story; I hope that you all like it Pinkie's Little Crush Chapter One: The Special Day A great deal of events occurred in Equestria within a brief period of time: Discord had escaped from his stone prison yet again,only to have been snt back by the six bearers of the Elements of Harmony; however in a final act of defiance, he unleashed his chaotic magic which manifested itself into a giant portal. The ponies of Equestria could see into an unknown world on the other side of the portal; a world inhabited by highly intellectual, bipedal, ape-like creatures. Earth. That is the name that the creatures named their home. The ponies saw the creatures playing with plush toys the bear an ominous resemblance to the likes of them. They wear clothing adorned with the cutie marks, and drawings of ponies. These Humans, as ponies soon disctovered they'd named themselves, also enjoyed watching them through some sort of box. It seemed like a select few of these creatures chose to worship them. Months of research on the subject of the portal yielded nothing of value. Eventually, Celestia came to the conclusion that they were harmless to her subjects, and nation. The Equestrians soon discovered that these people whom worship them deemed themselfs 'Bronies', a combination of the two words 'Bro' and 'Pony'. To thank them for their curious, yet loyal devotion, Princess Celestia had decided to do something that shocked everypony: just like heaven is believed to have guardian agels whom watch over people and protect them, Equestria would adopt a similiar system where guardian ponies would be assigned to individual Bronies, and Pegasisters alike. Everypony agreed to this plan and began immediate construction on a migically imbued tower, commonly known as 'The E.H. Connection'; the E.H. was short for 'Equestrian-Human'. The tower itself connected Equestria to Earth: the home of the humans. Princess Celestia's faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, was in charge of keeping everything in order, from managing menial details, to the huge task of finding able-bodied unicorns to supply the tower with ample amounts of magic, which would keep the portal open. The lavender mare was also head of the council of ponies whom chose which ponies are assigned to which Human that they'll watch over. Following the months, everything was running smoothly and thus starts the beginning of our story. *********************************************************************************************************************************************** Pinkie Pie woke up with the uncomfortable sensation of having her tail yanked and pulled at. She arched her neck backwards and saw Gummy playfully biting her tail, while staring aimlessly into her eyes. Pinkie smiled and giggled, “Let mommy sleep a little more, okay?” Gummy continued to pull on her tail, urging her to get out of bed. Slightly giggling, Pinkie laid back in bed. Before she went back to sleep, she took a quick glance at her calendar. The date had been circled a dozen times, each day behind it marked with an X by the same red marker. That snapped her fully awake and alert, “Oh my gosh! Today is the day!” Today was the day that she would get assigned a Human to watch over. Pinkie quickly rolled out of bed, took a shower, ate some breakfast (The usual half-dozen cupcakes drenched in hot-sauce), and pulled out a diary, which she bought a couple days ago. The spine still cracked as the unlocked the buckle and turned to the next blank page. She hadn’t written anything serious in it, not yet anyways, just various cupcake recipes. However, That morning she wrote her first authentic entry. *~*~* Dear Diary, I can’t believe I almost slept in! I’m supposed to get a human today; I can’t wait! I wonder who I’m going to get, will it be a boy or a girl? Will they like parties? I really super-duper hope so! There are just so many things I want to know! I better get going, but I have to make sure that the Cakes will take care of Gummy while I’m gone first. <3 Pinkie *~*~* After waking up Mr. Cake, and telling her to take care of her pet alligator, Pinkie locked up Sugar Cube Corner’s front door and happily bounced off towards Fluttershy’s cottage. ************************************************************************************************************* “Please Angel? Will you please eat this wonderful, ripe, juicy, delicious, apple?” The pink mane’d pegasus pleaded with her picky pet bunny, Angel, to eat even the teeniest, tiniest, littlest, itty bitty bit, but she was answered with a curt shake of the head every time. Angel angrily swatted the apple out between Fluttershy’s fore hooves, and on the floor where it slowly rolled over the hardwood floor and was snatched and quickly eaten by a plump looking raccoon. The annoyed bunny scurried over to the bookshelf and managed to pull out a white and red checkered book, and flipped to a certain page, which he’d memorized in order to show her a picture of a five star salad he wanted. “I’m sorry Angel, but I don’t have what I need to make that.” Mad and disappointed, Angel hopped away to sulk in a corner while begrudgingly nibbling on a carrot. Fluttershy sighed softly. Out of the corner of her sight, she spotted a curly pink tail in between the cushions of her couch. “Pinkie? Is that you? What are you doing in my couch.” Fluttershy squeaked as the pink pony twitched. “If you don’t mind me asking, that is.” No response. “Uhm, Pinkie?” Fluttershy tip-hooved closer to the couch, her heart beat steadily accelerating. She moved the cushions off and, to her surprise, it wasn’t Pinkie at all; just a tail for ‘Pin the Tail on the Pony’. “Surprise!” Pinkie yelled as she appeared behind Fluttershy. Instinctively, Fluttershy let out an ear piercingly loud shriek. “Oh, I’m sorry Flutters, I’m just so excited for today!” “Pinkie, you almost gave me a heart attack!” “Sorry, but you said that we’ll go to E.H. Connection together today!” “I was just about to go and get you, but since you’re here, let’s get going” Pinkie walked out of Fluttershy’s cottage first, following Fluttershy but then she let out a gasp “oh my! I almost forgot it” Fluttershy went back into her home and came back with a device attached to her front left hoof. “Fluttershy, what is that?” “Oh this, this is the “pip-pony 3000”, it lets me see how my human is doing, from his current health to his emotions”. The pip-pony 3000 showed an outline of the human body, along with other information. The outline shows that the human was healthy, except for the orange shade on the left arm. “Why is his arm glowing orange?” “Oh that’s because he broke his arm while saving a cat from a tree, poor thing”. Pinkie Pie looked at the pip-pony 3000 with amazement. “Ooooh, do I get one when I get assigned?” “Yes, now let’s get a mov-“ Before Fluttershy can finish, Pinkie grabbed Fluttershy by the hoof and ran off towards E.H. Connection. ************************************************************************************************************* Fluttershy was gasping for air once they’d made it to the E.H. Connection. The giant tower was adorned in crimson banners and golden décor. On top of the tower stood the giant portal, buzzing and whirring with magic. “It’s a lot bigger than I thought.” Pinkie said as she looked up to the sky. “Is Twilight in there?” Fluttershy nodded. “Yes, she’s always here when somepony new is getting assigned.” “Good, ‘cause I want to give her this book.” Pinkie passed a sky blue colored book over to Fluttershy. She looked at it with confusion. “My Little Dashie?” She read the title aloud. “Pinkie where did this come from?” Pinkie shrugged “I don’t know, that’s why I wanted to ask Twilight! I think a human wrote it, but I dunno.” Both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy slowly pushed the giant golden doors open. The rays of white light escaped from inside the main chamber, which temporarily blinding them both. Pinkie blinked her eyes as they adjusted to the extremely white, radiant light. She and Fluttershy stepped into the main chamber; Fluttershy bucked the door shut with her hind hoof. The main lobby was busy with unicorns and pegasi rushing to their destinations. Twilight was sitting at the reception desk in the middle where stacks of paper work dwarfed her small frame. The purple unicorn spotted Pinkie and Fluttershy and waved them over. “Pinkie, Fluttershy, there you are! You’re both a bit early you know.” “Heya, Twilight! Yeah, we know. Could we get started, though? I’m really, really, really, really excited!” Pinkie began hopping up and down with a giant grin plastered across her visage. “Alright, alright, Pinkie, keep your mane on…” Twilight got out of her chair and beckoned for her two friends to follow her “Come this way and we’ll get started.” Twilight led Pinkie down a long hallway. Fluttershy decided to stay in the main lobby and talk with somepony who was wearing a white coat, and glasses balanced across her muzzle. Twilight’s burst of purple magic opened a large pair of crimson and gold doors. Above them a sigh read ‘Human Archives’. Inside there were rows and rows of files lined against the walls. At the end stood Princess Celestia her self next to a huge computer-like screen. “Pinkie Pie today is the day that you finally earn your right as a guardian pony.” Princess Celestia’s regal voice echoed through the halls. “We’ve already prepared everything, simply press this button and your human will be displayed.” The reagent of the sun waved a hoof towards the station with a large button on it. Pinkie looked up at both Twilight and Celestia, and with a huge smile on her face she trotted over to the monitor, looked at the control panel laden with buttons. She turned around once more to get a reassuring nod from Celestia and Twilight. The button clicked loudly as Pinkie pressed it down, the sound echoed through the halls.
