Ash stood feeling dizzy after just having travelled in Pinkie Pie speed, a speed that could match or even beat Pidgeot’s speed and he had no idea how she was able to do that, Pinkie was just known to destroy every single piece of logic existing. As said he stood there, his thoughts swirling and his eyes spinning from the sudden fast travel, you could almost have called it some kind of teleportation. He finally regained some senses and looked around and saw they were alone in the Sugarcube Corner. He looked at Pinkie, who stood and smiled brightly and excited, her eyes filled with mirth and something else that Ash couldn’t tell what was. He looked warily around and saw they were indeed alone, no one hidden behind anything to jump out and yell surprise, not even the Cupcake family, who lived here. There wasn’t any party equipment or the normal party cannon Pinkie always had to a party if it got to boring or to quite. He looked with confusion at Pinkie and asked “Wasn’t there supposed to be a party?”
She let out a small giggle, making Ash feel a knot in his stomach as he was forcefully reminded of how sweet her giggles sounded, and her answer only reminded him of her angel voice “There is a party”
Ash was reminded of the last week, something had happened in the last week that he hadn’t expected with this adventure. He had began to think of Pinkie as more than a very good friend, he felt nervous everything she talked to him and was near fainting everything she gave him a close hug or they were alone together. More than that, he too found himself admiring her figure, her pink fluffy mane and her bright blue eyes, her personality and her constant smile and laugh. He couldn’t tell when these feelings started, but he had tried to deny it for some time, convincing himself he was not even a true pony and Pinkie would be disgusted with the idea of dating him, that she wouldn’t be his friend anymore and tell him to leave her alone and leave the Sugarcube Corner to go live somewhere else.
He never noticed Pinkie had moved from her spot, until he heard the sound of soft music passing through the room, he snapped back to reality and saw Pinkie had set some music on, but it wasn’t anything like her normal kind of music, the normal party music, the happy exciting music that brought the excitement to the room and make you feel like you just had to party all night.
This was a quiet and soft music, some would almost call it romantic, something very unlikely for Pinkie Pie and more likely to be put on by Rarity. Pinkie smiled warmly to him and said “Would you care for a dance while we wait for the others?”
Ash felt his hearth make a twist over and over, he felt the heat form in his face as he blushed a little and silently nodded. Pinkie walked casually over to him with a smile and took both his hoofs and pulled him closer. His hearth beat rapidly as he felt her rest her head against his shoulder as she lead him into a small quiet dance, no words was needed as they both moved in tact, or Ash tried as hard as possible, since he never learned to dance this way, and it certainly didn’t help he was barely able to keep concentration on his hooves with Pinkie’s soft warm breath running down his neck and to his back.
They kept dancing silently for minutes, maybe hours, Ash had lost track of time after a while that was for sure. All he could think about in his world now was the mare he was dancing with. Suddenly she silently pulled away from the dance, making Ash pout a little as he looked at her and asked “Why did you pull away?”
She let out a small giggle again and said “Because I wanted to say something to you silly”
Ash flashed a smile to her and said “Ok, what did you want to tell me?”
To his surprise she suddenly looked a little nervous and blushed a little as she looked down at the ground, she silently moved her hoof around on the floor, much like Fluttershy would do if she was nervous or very shy. She looked up at Ash again with a little hope, but mostly worry in her eyes as she began to speak “A-Ash… I have been feeling these warm feelings in my stomach each time I met you for at least a week now… I didn’t understand what it meant, so I went to ask Rarity” Ash was in shock, knowing what the feelings meant, but unable to believe it “She said it was something more than friendship, but not love… Ash I think I like you, like you…” She looked down, waiting for his answer as he stood there, feeling his hearth swell into incredible sizes and beat rapidly.
She really liked him in that way? He thought amazed. Apparently he had stayed silent for too long as Pinkie hung her head in sad rejection and said “I-I can understand if you don’t like me in that way… I just hoped…”
“Pinkie” Ash interrupted her with a smile, she looked up and he continued “I never said I didn’t like you. You are an incredible mare, you’re funny, smart when you want to be, possesses a calm mind I have never seen anything like before and to be quite blunt, I have fallen hard for you” She looked up shocked, almost with the question shining in her eyes.
“Are you serious?” He nodded as an answer to the unasked question and Pinkie immediately let out a squall of happiness and joy as she bounced on him, proceeding to kiss him with passion. At first froze Ash into the kiss, but his mind quickly came back to full power and he returned the kiss.
Ash really had no clue for how long they stayed like that, all he knew he was loving it with every particle of his body and that he didn’t even care if he was originally human, he was a pony now and then it was ok in his mind. Suddenly Pinkie pulled away again, making Ash pout harder than when she stopped dancing with her. Instead of asking he just looked questionable at her.
In response she giggled uncontrollably and looked at him with pure love in her eyes as she said “I’m tired Ash. Want to go sleep?”
Ash gulped and blushed furiously, something Pinkie noticed instantly and laughed “No you silly pony. I mean sleep!” He let out a light sigh in relief, he liked Pinkie but he was no where near that level of relationship. He followed her up to her room and they both lay down in her bed, snuggling against each other with a smile on their face.

Ash awoke next morning, still a little tired and took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet scent of cotton candy, unconsciously he smiled and felt a fluffy substance against his face, he opened his mouth and began to chew in the cotton candy like thing, but was instantly interrupted by a giggle and a sweet voice asking “Are you that hungry Ashy?” Ash opened his eyes and found, to his shock, himself with his mouth full of Pinkies mane.
He instantly let go of it and yelped out in fright “Sorry Pinkie!”
She let out another bright giggle and said “It’s ok! Come on, let’s get some breakfast! The Cakes are back soon and I don’t think they will approve of you sleeping in my bed” She said the last part with a suggestive tone, that made Ash blush furiously and move out of the bed fast as possible.
“L-Let’s go get that breakfast!” He stuttered nervous over her boldness and walked down the stairs, shaking a little and leaving a laughing Pinkie behind.
Soon after they both sat and ate their breakfast, occasionally Pinkie let out a small laugh when she saw something she thought was funny, or leaned over to give Ash a light kiss on the cheek or lips. They heard the door open and the voice of Mr. Cake calling “We are home Pinkie!”
“Hello!” She called back with a bright smile “How have the trip been?”
“Fairly quiet” He sighed with a half tired smile “Just a long trip and a little lack of sleep, so how’s the day been around here?”
“Fairly quiet too, except Ashy here caused panic all the way to Canterlot when he trained with his pokémon!” She stated, excited as ever.
Mr. Cake gave him a surprised look and asked “How can that cause panic in Canterlot? It is miles from here”
Pinkie suddenly went wild as she answered with excitement and almost bouncing around “Imagine a gigantic yellow lightning tower striking towards the skies! Wider than the library and larger than any cloud could ever produce! Oh yeah me and Ash is dating now” She added, quickly making him forget about the lightning thing as he looked with narrowed eyes at Ash, who gulped nervously and looked for support at Pinkie, who hummed a happy melody.
“So… You are dating our Pinkie now?” He asked with a warning tone, making Ash shudder, knowing from other boys how much fathers could be protective over their daughters, and while Pinkie wasn’t their daughter by blood, she was like an adoptive daughter for them and they loved her like one.
Gathering his courage, he looked up and said “Yes sir, I am dating Pinkie and I’m quite ready to fight you if you have something against it” He returned the glare Mr. Cake sent him. They sat like that for a few moments, not noticing the suddenly nervous looks Pinkie sent them, she didn’t want them to fight and she didn’t know who she would side with if it ended with a fight.
Suddenly Mr. Cake smiled and let out a deep laugh as he said “Wow… Ash I must say I’m impressed, it has been a while since someone dared to talk to me like that, when it came to Pinkie’s coltfriends and look me in the eyes. I was just messing with you before, just so you know. I knew that you and my dear Pinkie was perfect for each other since I met you and to be quite honest. I prefer you than some of the other colts out there”
Ash let out a sigh of relief as Pinkie let out a squall and threw her arms around Mr. Cake and repeatedly cried “Thank you! Thank you thank you!”
He hugged her tightly and said with a smile “No problem my girl. Just promise me we won’t see any small Pinkies running around for some time. I don’t think this town can handle more than one of you” In response he laughed as both Pinkie and Ash blushed deep red and he quickly left as a pillow just smacked into the place where he stood before.
There was an awkward silence from the embarrassing moment between the two and Ash was the first to speak as he said “So… How are we going to tell the others?”
Pinkie looked up with a smile, not a happy or excited, but mysterious smile as she answered “I have an idea, just meet me at the library in an hour”
“No parties?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.
She laughed a little and said “No parties. Pinkie Promise!”
“Pinkie what now?” He asked confused.
She just shook her head in respond and said “To soon to explain that Ash, might confuse the viewers”
“What viewers?!” He asked in total confusion, but Pinkie had already left the building. He sighed and left with a smile. At least life wasn’t boring with Pinkie around and it was bound to get more exciting when he dated her.
He walked out towards the stone fields near Ponyville to train for half an hour with his pokémon before he would get a bath and join Pinkie and his friends at the library to tell them the news with whatever Pinkie has planned.
He spent that half an hour training all his pokémon and giving them dinner, some food he had prepared with Fluttershy and some cooked fish he had made himself since Fluttershy wouldn’t be anywhere near food made of animals, which he understood perfectly as for her love to all living animals and beings.
After half an hour of constant and concentrated training was Ash walking back home, covered in dirt and sweat, panting lightly as he had just finished his promised fight with Sceptile, which he was just able to win, much to Sceptile’s displeasure. He took a semi quick shower, making sure he didn’t leave any dirt and at least got the smell of sweat away, before he began to wander towards the library with a smile on his face. He saw the light in the library and knew the others was already there, or at least some of them. He opened the door and said with a smile “Hello girls”
They all looked at him with a smile and said “Hello Ash!” Twilight continued saying “Pinkie called us together, saying you two had to tell us something?” He just smiled to her as he moved over to Pinkie who sad down in front of the girls with a mysterious smirk on her face, enjoying to tease the girls by not telling the secret. He grinned at her and said “Come now Pinkie, stop teasing the girls” With that he had sneakily moved a hoof around her head and had suddenly pulled her into a firm kiss. Pinkie was surprised to say at least, but quickly melted into the kiss and returned it. He silently let go and chuckled at her light pout and turned towards the others who gaped at them with wide eyes, not believing what they just had witnessed. Pinkie giggled at their faces, almost unable to keep from screaming in laughter. Ash gave a chuckled and said with fake surprise “What? Haven’t Pinkie told you we are together now?”
Rainbow Dash was the first to react as she rubbed her eyes and looked at Ash “You…” She turned to Pinkie “Her…” She looked at both of them and asked “Together?”
They both nodded, causing an eruptions of squalls as all the girls ran over and hugged them tightly all of them giving them their congratulations. Rarity smiled with tears in her eyes as she said “I’m so happy for you two! I knew the moment I saw how Ash cared for you at the night with the tickets that he was the one for you!”
“I’m so happy for you Pinkie!” Said a truly happy Fluttershy as she had Pinkie into a tight hug “I just knew you two would be good for each other!”
The others also gave their congratulations and hugs to each of them, the only thing that was different was that after Rainbow Dash had hugged Ash, she pulled away and looked him directly in the eyes with a serious expression as she said “Just be aware of if you hurt Pinkie. I hurt you ten times worse!” Ash gulped and nodded nervously as he noticed Pinkies smile and each of the girls nod in agreement and now knew that it wasn’t the parents of a girl you should be afraid of, but their best friends.
Pinkie giggled at his nervous expression and leaned in and whispered into his ear “Just wait until the whole city knows. Many ponies care for me and will be sad to see me hurt”
It took all of his will power to not faint instantly.
