Dear Sugarcoat,
I know it's only been a few hours since we spoke, but I put washing your handkerchief a top priority! It was super sweet of you to lend it to me, and it must mean a lot to you because putting contact info on a handkerchief is really weird. Anywhooosy things have been going just super duper here! Twilight has been transitioning rather well, but she's still caught up on the fact that she tried to tear the world apart. We keep reminding her that it was Principal Meany’s fault but she doesn't believe that, not completely. She's smiling a bunch, which just fills my heart with sunshine because she's my friend you know? Well you're my friend too so I hope your smiling more as well. Please respond lickety quickety so I can get your handkerchief back to you!
-????P.D.P.????

Pinky Pie,
Your email was fast and disorganized. Please refrain from filling any future emails with unnecessary information. I am busy for a while and will notify you when I have a time to meet.

Dear Sugarcoat,
I am so glad you replied, even if it was a week after I emailed you. I was worried you wouldn't and that you might not consider us friends, but since you didn't say we aren't friends that means you must really consider us friends. That makes me happy as can be! I can't wait until you're able to meet me and will await the day eagerly. If you don't mind me asking, how are Lemon Zest and Sour Sweet? I hope everything's going well over there!
-????P.D.P????

Pinkie Pie,
I'm sorry for the late replies, I do not often have the free time to check my emails, nor are your emails a very high priority for me. Your last email was significantly shorter than the first. Thank you, though there is still much unnecessary information. Lemon Zest was happy to hear you inquired about her, and says she's doing “Super well dude.”
If I may inquire, what is the D in your signature for?
I am free this weekend if you wish to meet up for the handkerchief.

P.S. I guess we are friends.

Dear Sugarcoat,
Yay!! I'm so glad that you think we're friends! Maud is going to drive me up on Friday, though she was curious why I didn't just mail you the handkerchief and why it took a month before there was a chance to meet up. EEE! I can't wait for her to meet you, you're both brutally honest and don't smile a lot, though I can always tell when she's happy and I have trouble with you! I can't wait! See you in a few days! Also the D in my signature stands for Diane because my full name is Pinkamena Diane Pie.
-????P.D.P.????

I read my emails through for the tenth time since we left the house. I'm so excited, and can't wait to see my friend again. I look out the window and watch the buildings as they gradually get larger. The city is so big and so cool!
My phone beeps and I look down to see that I've received a new email. It's from Sugarcoat!!! I squeak a little in excitement and open the email.
Pinky Pie,
Meet me in Dandelion Field. It's a
park downtown. Near a pizzeria.
3:00. I'll buy lunch too.
I bounce in my seat and look outside again. I can see my wide smile in the mirror and somehow smile wider. I surprise myself sometimes.
“Pinkie Pie, where are we going?” Maud asks from the driver's seat. I look up the place on my phone and turn on the GPS. Smart phones are so helpful. It takes us nearly half an hour to get there. By the time we arrive I've thought up more than fifty scenarios of the day, not to mention the hundreds from the rest of the ride.
The car finally stops in the park's parking lot and I immediately unbuckle and jump out of the car. I look around and don't and immediately see why the park is called Dandelion Field. The park is a field of gold, white, and green. Puffs of Dandelion seeds float through the air like cherry blossoms. I spin around and laugh happily at the beauty of it. The wind blows and pulls at my skirt as well as swirling more puffs up into the air.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” A sharp voice sounds from behind me, or next to me, or near me at least. I stop spinning and turn to the voice. Sugarcoat is leaning against a tree as Dandelion puffs float around her and stick in her hair and land against her face. Her hair isn’t in its twin ponytails, but instead has it in a single ponytail. Instead of her usual school uniform she's wearing a red and black checkered skirt ending at her knees, suspenders in the same checker, and a black shirt with a red pizzeria logo on it.
I run over and hug her, which she doesn't fully return. I pull away and do my best to stand still. “Oh my goodness it's been so long! I didn't know you have a job! Your uniform is so cool! Is the food good? Do you like it? Are you excited to see me too?” I ask, leaning towards her and holding my hands behind my back.
“I started a few days after we returned. It's kept me busy enough. The foods not bad either.” She says. She pulls some puff out of her hair. “Do you have it?” She asks, and I blink and tilt my head in confusion. Suddenly I remember and pull the handkerchief out of appearingly nowhere to hand to her. She grabs it immediately and puts it somewhere. It surprises me to see her do something so typically strange, something I've never seen anyone else do. It's exciting!
I look over at the car and realize Maud isn't coming over. Weird, why not? “Hey Sugarcoat, that's my sister Maud! Come on, I'll introduce you!” I tell her and I grab her hand. I run over to Maud, and Sugarcoat somehow keeps up, and wasn't dragged in the least.
“Maud, meet Sugarcoat. Sugarcoat, this is Maud!” I say. They shake hands and say hello, and don't say anything else. I smile and hug them tightly.
“Pinkie!” Sugarcoat says, and I let go immediately. I give a giggle scratch my head.
“Come on, I have a discount. I'm at lunch, so I'll treat you two.” Sugarcoat says before walking off towards the Pizzeria. I skip off behind her and hear Maud follow. Sugarcoat seems happier than before and I'm so happy to see that.
Our pizza comes fast, and I munch happily on mine. Across from me Sugarcoat slowly eats some breadsticks, and Maud just drinks water. A waitress walks over to our table and I smile cheerfully at her.
“Sugarcoat, Moondancer is trying for another shift so she can save up for yet another book spree. Do you mind if she takes yours. No one else can afford to drop a shift today.” The waitress, a dust yellow girl with short blue hair asks.
“Sure she can take it. Thanks Blu.” Sugarcoat says pleasantly. The interaction was amazing, and I'm so happy. I kick my legs absentmindedly and take another bite of pizza. The waitress walks away and continues her work.
