How it ended up like this?
“I have an idea! I'll go to Sugarcube corner and buy milkshakes for all of us! AJ and Rainbow, come with me so we can bring them together.”
In what did I fail?
“And I have the loveliest mat for the occasion in the band room! Fluttershy, dear! Come with me to do some final touches to it!”
Why did he say all those things?
“What about me? In what can I help with?”
Did the cupcakes weren’t enough?
“Stay with Pinkie until we arrive, Twi. Are you okay with this, sugarcube?”
Does he really hate me?
“Of course! Right, Pinkie?”
“…yeah, sounds good.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!”
Every single day there's something wonderful to try! A new day, a new flavor, a new dress, a new game, a new party… a new chance to make new friends. When I meet new people, I always use my best approaches, my best recipes, my best smile and they always end up smiling. Those faces filled with joy are my delight! My passion and purpose in life!
But he… there were no smiles, no happiness, no friendship. What did I do wrong?
“Pinkie Pie… why don't you sit beside me? It's strangely comfortable against the stone of the monument!”
“No thanks, I am fine…”
“No, you are not.” She said with a low voice. “Come here with me and tell me what happened? I am still new to this but we can offer you a good ear. Spike and I will listen to you in whatever you need. Right, Spike...Spike? SPIKE?”
“He left with Sunset and the others.”
“That puppy is becoming more adventurous since he learned to talk. Seriously, he almost ruined our plan of… never mind him for a moment. Tell me, Pinkie, in what can I help you?”
“I don't know if you can, Twilight. This is new to me. This has never happened before.”
“Don't cry, it's okay.”
“NO! It's not! I always bring smiles to the new people I meet! No matter who, when or how, I always give my best! Nobody has ever acted to me like this before. Sometimes I received a complaint that I can be annoying or stubborn. But in the end, I reached the goal, grant honest and genuine laughter to everyone, a moment of relief! A bright smile that outshines the sad in their days so they can go on happily!”
“I am sure that Nitpick is just another boy who thinks you are stubborn. Once he comes to know you as I did, he will love to have a friendship with you!”
“You say that, but why did he told me he hated me like that? Those eyes were awful! Why did he ‘sob’ told ‘sob’ me to go ‘sob’ and…’sob’”
I can't see…the tears are-
“Shh...” She cleaned some of my tears “Look at me, Pinkie Pie...”
Something told me to do as she said.
“Once upon a time, in the Crystal Prep Academy, there was a lonely girl who traveled the world in shades of gray and black. There was no talking for her, no smiles for her, only the solace of an unused basement filled with old books and science equipment.”
“…what happened to her?”
“Nothing. Days came to pass, and the lonely girl didn't make a single friend. Only her trusted dog, her old babysitter and her older brother shined her days in what usually was a dark, cold and lonely existence. But those were few and far between. It was solitude at its finest in the end. But then…”
“Then what?”
“A substitute of true happiness came to her, whispering void dreams and false hopes to run away from her misery. She nearly hurt people to get what she wanted… But!”
“But?”
“They came. She came! Certain individuals silently asked me if I had enough of that. Showed me the way to genuine happiness, a real way to enjoy life! They pulled me away from my greed and empty desires, filling me with something far more precious and valuable than any power or study program could ever grant me!”
“And what is that?”
“I am looking for the real word for that answer yet. What my spirit is starting to discover is something that my intellect cannot grasp, something that only the bonds with others will reveal to me in time. I will discover it with all of you, with you! I am sure of that!”
“Twilight…”
“Listen, Pinkie Pie. I am new to this, and I still have much to learn about the meaning of having true friends. But deep inside my heart, I know the following to be true; you girls are special to me! You are special to me!”
A slight, warmth energy began filling my heart as Twilight´s words replaced my depressing feelings, my mind felt lighter all of the sudden, relaxed. Peaceful!
“And also, whether it’s a pair of party cannons, a fountain of chocolate, cupcakes made with love or a practical joke with tender feathers, you were able to bring me a moment of joy in what was once a worthless existence. There is always a first time for failure, once you overcome this, I am sure you will be better than before. Because of this…”
You-
“When it’s about bliss and laughs…”
Make me-
“To me… You are the best!”
SMILE!
“OWWW! GIVE ME A HUUUUUUGGG! COME TO ME!" I hugged with all my love. “HAHAHAHA! How could I forget that easily why I spread smiles in the first place? With friends like you, I CAN DO ANYTHING!”
“Pink- yur –crush!”
“WOOOPS” I carefully put her on the ground again. “Sorry.”
“Ouch.” She made some waist movements and- ‘crack’-… did I broke her? “I am so glad you are back to normal, Pinkie Pie!”
Oh, great, she is alright!
“You reminded me why I do what I do, Twilight. You are a good friend.” She smiled with what I said. I love that gentle smile “Come and give me a hug!”
She did. This is the right feeling. This is good. Isn't, Twilight?
“You know… I am so jealous of you, Pinkie!”
“WHAT!?” I saw her at the eye “Why did you say that?”
“Because you recovered really fast while for me, it took me several weeks to be at peace after an uncomfortable event involving lunch during my days in Crystal Prep. It was so silly!”
“That’s because you didn't have friends in that place. Here in this school, in this place, you will learn the meaning of laughter with me!”
“I sometimes forget that that you are a bearer of an Element of Harmony from another dimension!”
“It’s not only that, Twilight! A good laugh with friends can make many good things happen; it can destroy fears, it can banish bad moods, unite strangers and most importantly, you share your good vibes towards people. Just like you just did for me in a small, simple but good moment, it's what I try to spread to the people every day. Life is full of happy moments to admire, even if there are dark days in them! For me, those happy and unrepeatable moments are something worth living for!”
“That’s a lovely ideal, Pinkie Pie!”
“Of course! Now I feel that I can try again! OH! The girls have arrived!”
Wooo! They were carrying lots on muffins and milkshakes! And I bet Rarity did the mat in a flash like always! I am so excited to start lunch now!
“Sugarcube! Are you fine now?”
“Yeah! Thanks for worrying about me, girls!”
“Darling! That's What Friends Are For!”
“Yeah! Now that you are fine, I’ll be back in a minute. That jerk and I have some things to discuss!”
“Uh, Rainbow. We need to talk again!”
“No, Applejack! What he said to you is a lie! I haven't heard a single complain of anyone in school about practices.”
“Arguing with him will only prove his point, Rainbow Dash. We need to think of something else. I remember what happened when we ignored Trixie last semester and she nearly ruined the event we organized with the sport costumes of the school.” Rarity said, but there was no anger toward Trixie now that she was a friend of ours.
“But she did that because she was alone. She told me herself, remember? That’s why we must fix this without hurting each other… Like someone did for me a year ago!”
“Girls, I know what we can do about him!”
“You have an idea, Fluttershy?” Sunset said with a smile.
“Yes! I'll convince him to help me with the rat infestation in the suburbs tomorrow!”
Silence… it was windy today.
“Uh, sugarcube… I don’t think he is an animal lover.”
Even I think it's a bad idea. And I love to help you from time to time in the shelter, Fluttershy.
“Of course he is! Remember what Spike said about his little adventure before we went our separate ways? Nitpick defended Spike and took a liking to him, I don't see why he wouldn't love the little critters in the shelter. Once he sees how adorable the rats can be after a small bath, he will show how friendly he really is. Besides, if he loves quiet people like Spike mentioned, maybe deep inside that rough shell of him, he is just like me: Shy! And only wants to be at peace when surrounded by strangers!”
“That makes sense, Fluttershy! You are always the good listener and perceptive in these things! Perhaps your silence will make him speak his mind more gently with you!” Sunset said, and all of us agreed to it, except Rainbow Dash. “Did he mention something else, Spike? Another clue that could help us in this?”
“Eh… no, nothing important.”
That was a fishy way to hide something, but my Pinkie sense told me it was for the best… or maybe it was my stomach that was hungry and just wanted to eat something.
“I still think that a good, aggressive talk will make him understand.”
“Eh, nope.”
“But Applejack!”
“Nope.”
“Are you listening to me?“
“Nope.”
“Why you-!“
‘Pump’
I couldn't stop laughing after seeing her face! Applejack just put a muffin in her mouth! We all started to laugh and Rainbow soon joined us. These laughs of us were a song of happiness to me.
“I love you, girls.”
“We love you too, Pinkie, we truly do. Now, let’s discuss how to help Fluttershy behind the scenes. Well, after we finish eating what we brought!”
We all ‘Yay’ to Sunset's idea, and a new, wonderful way to be with the ones I love appeared before me.
