Chapter 3 - "Sadboose"
"Caboose, where are you?" Pinkie Pie yelled, trying to find her new friend.
He was not answering. Why would Twilight ask a question like that? As much as Twilight knows, she sure doesn't know how to meet new ponies. After running around Ponyville for a couple minutes she soon saw the blue stallion, sitting alone on a bridge over a stream. She also saw that his eyes were wet.
"Caboose what's wrong?" Pinkie Pie asked, taking a seat next to Caboose, putting her foreleg over his shoulder.
"Nothing." Caboose said, letting out a deep sigh. "It's just that sometimes I remember who I am."
"Oh?" Pinkie Pie asked, raising her brow. "And who are you?"
"A loser." Caboose said. "Everyone I have ever met always points out my flaws. They never try to get to know the actual me. And something tells me that's because they don't want to."
"I don't think you're a loser." Pinkie Pie said, nuzzling Caboose’s neck.
"Thanks, but I know how you really feel." Caboose said, shaking his head, slowly pushing her off. "I know that you are just saying that to make me go away. Tucker does that all the time. Mostly after he calls me a name and I start feeling bad."
Pinkie Pie looked straight into Caboose’s eyes, "If I wanted you to go away then why would I come looking for you silly?" Pinkie Pie asked, smiling lightly.
Caboose looked back at Pinkie Pie who was giving him a smile. He then leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips. Pinkie Pie was surprised by this and brought her head back, blushing ever so slightly.
"Sorry." Caboose said, thinking that he had scared her off. "I promise I won't do that again. I was caught up in the moment."
"Ah it's okay." Pinkie said, waving her hoof to show him that it was nothing. Pinkie then looked back into Caboose’s eyes, leaned in and pecked him back. Caboose blushed and fell backwards, landing on the bridge. He was starting to get back to his old self.
"I think I like you." Caboose said, smiling now.
"Aw, I like you too." Pinkie said. "I'm glad you're my friend."
"A friend." Caboose thought to himself, smiling wider than he ever had before.
"How about we go back and get that party started." Pinkie said, jumping around.
"Okay." Caboose said happily. He then started walking forward, then soon found himself stopping. "But I think your friends don't like me."
"Don't mind them, they just haven't gotten to know you yet." Pinkie said, raising her hoof. "I'm sure they'll love you once they get to know you."
"Thank you." Caboose said with a large smile on his face. "I didn't realize how much words could heal until it was my turn."
Caboose grabbed Pinkie’s hoof and Pinkie smiled back.
"You know, we could start the party a bit later." Pinkie Pie said. "Maybe I could show you around town."
"I would like that." Caboose said excitedly.
"I think I know where we should go first." Pinkie said, leading Caboose with her.
After about five minutes of walking and they found themselves in front of-
"A GIANT GINGERBREAD HOUSE!" Caboose yelled, hopping up and down excitedly. "It's like at the end of the year when I leave one for Santa, but there are no bite marks in this one."
"You're silly." Pinkie giggled as she opened the door. "Mr. and Mrs. Cake? Are you here?"
"Yes Pinkie, we're just baking a batch of sweets right now." Replied Mrs. Cake.
"Well, take a look around Caboose." Pinkie said.
Caboose slowly let go of Pinkie Pie’s hoof and started doing what she said. He glanced everywhere and soon realized that he was surrounded by many tasty things.
"Oh my gosh! They have cupcakes!" Caboose yelled. "And cookies. And muffins. AND THEY EVEN HAVE CUPCAKES!"
Mr. and Mrs. Cake walked out of the back, both holding platters upon platters of tasty treats. Caboose’s heart nearly exploded.
"Who is your friend?" Mrs. Cake asked, putting the food on display.
"Oh this is Caboose." Pinkie said. "We met in the hospital."
"Oh, I hope it wasn't anything too serious." Mrs. Cake said with a worried expression on her face.
"Oh don't worry about me. It wasn't THAT big of a fall." Caboose said, now looking at Mrs. Cake’s hair. "Your hair looks like icing!"
Mrs. Cake raised her brow at him. "Is he... alright?"
"No I’m Caboose. Why do people keep calling me alright?"
Pinkie giggled and went around to the back of the counter and opened it.
"So, do you want anything to eat?" Pinkie asked.
"Yes please! I would like a cupcake." Caboose said, now looking into Pinkies eyes once again.
"Sure thing! Which one do you want?" She asked.
Looking at all of the sweet treats that he could choose he thought he would have a tough time choosing from all of them. But he found the treat he wanted right away.
"I want the pink one." Caboose said.
Pinkie Pie looked at Caboose and couldn't help but smile. Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked at each other, giving each other a soft smile. Pinkie gave a big and pink cupcake to Caboose, and then she grabbed a blue one for herself. She used her free hoof to grab onto Caboose’s free hoof to lead him out.
"Thank you for the cupcakes Mrs. Cake." Pinkie said, now out the door.
"Thank you for the cupcakes!" Caboose yelled. When he was out of the door and the when the door shut he yelled once again. "Oh my gosh it's a gingerbread house!"
"You already said that." Pinkie giggled.
"Oh I know, I just like pretending. It makes everything much more fun." Caboose said, finishing his cupcake. "And I like having fun."
"I like having fun too." Pinkie said. She then stopped, tightening her grip on Caboose’s hoof. "But not as much as I like you."
And with that, she leaned in to kiss. Caboose saw this, leaned in, and kissed her back and they stood kissing for several seconds, now hugging each other. Caboose had never felt so comfortable with himself in his life.
"Come on." Pinkie said, stopping the kiss, hopping ahead. "Let's go get that party started."
"Right behind you Pinkie." He yelled, hopping after her.

d'awww
I feel bad for thinking this but I can't wait for Church to come and ruin Caboose's fun
"A loser." Church said" i didit even read the whole thing and saw this. fix it, NOW!
also, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW
291725
Fixed, thanks for catching that. I originally had planned for Church to be there now, but decided I would like to make it a longer story then I had planned, seeing as people seem to be somehow liking this story ;P
D'aaawwwwww. You gotta love Caboose. Also Pinkie is perfect for him.
Reading back this chapter (and not for proof reading) I actually daw'd a bit myself. Didn't think I would
291734 also, you should probably ad a romance tag. alternate universe doesn't fit.
291740 and the best part is that nopony considered that untill today. this IS the best day EVER! also, no dislikes yet! (cant say im surprised, everyone loves caboose. except for tucker. and church. and the reds. and tex. and... i think il stop now)
291748
Changed that. I had not originally planned for them to get together, I really planned on them just hanging out, but I am glad a changed that
291756 i would say get rid of the random tag also, but EVERYTHING with caboose is random.
291762
And everything with Pinkie is random.
That makes it a double random.
Who's to say (that is if Caboose goes back) that Pinkie won't go back with him?
291860 in fact, whose to say that caboose go's back at all?

Shhhh you're guessing one of the other ones :O
OGAWD Y U GIVING ME IDEAS AND MAKING ME CONFUZZLED?
The soundtrack of rvb is helping me think of the endings and I don't know how I'll choose now
I LOVE THIS! PLEASE KEEP IT GOING! church better never come and get him
292016
I'll try.
292016
^this one please
i have always wondered why no one made something like this and now i have found it. this is to great keep going
It's... too... epic...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-*explodes*
"
... Tucker did it."
Church: "Caboose! What'd you do to him?!
Caboose: "That wasn't me...
Tucker: "Hey!"
i cant believe this thing still has no dislikes. its amazing. i support this fact. we might even get it up on the featured bar!
PinkiexCaboose?
F***ING GENIUS.
This is a great story OH MY GOSH IT'S A CROSSOVER FIC! You really captured Caboose's personality, and the pairing up with Pinkie is a really neat angle. The chapters are really really short however, you could probably cram three of them together into one. It would probably make it a bit easier to read. Anyway beyond that it's a really good story. OH MY GOSH IT'S A CROSSOVER FIC!
This chapter just made me D'aaaaaaw all over the place... Especially with the cupcake scene, kinda reminds me of my relationship right now.
Oh, this is just beautiful so far. I should've seen Pinkie getting shipped with him from a mile away (and who's to say I didn't?). And it was interesting, the way he serious'd the fuck up at the start of the chapter. I found it kind of odd, considering it's Caboose, but at the same time... his teammates' abuse must have gotten to him on some level.
Shit. I'm not supposed to give feedback until I've finished the story! It's part of my charm! Quit making me fuck it up!
376577
Yeah he just had a brief moment to think.
And I'll forgive you. But you owe me one free "I forgive you" as well.
"We met in the hospital.".... Why does this not confuse me in the slightest?
-Glassed
good for caboose, I always thought he could use a girl friend. now all the blue team have had (or have) girlfriends.
Oh god the DAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW. Its too muc-HHHHGGGGGGGGGGGG
425753 And Sarge, The overload of cuteness would just be to much for him....
I would say that it's going to fast, but this IS CABOOSE we're talking about... XD
594532
Yeah that's the point, but the other relationships between the characters are more slow and are taking longer to fully develop
If anyone here has ever watched something from the Yogscast, you probably know Simon's "awwww". That's going through my head now. If not, let it suffice to say that there are ridiculous amounts of d'aww right now- and I like it.
Can the universe handle this ship??? Probably not, but while reality disolves I'll just keep reading this!!! I love fics where Caboose is smarter than he apears
Pinkie and Caboose? By the Nine Divines, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!! So much insanity and stupidity should not be together like that.
D'aaaaawww this is a really cool story XD
Okay, I might not be well-phrased on the series, but I don't remember Caboose acting like that. I also don't know how I feel about Caboose X Pinkie Pie shipping. I think it would last a lot longer before a kiss, considering how non-romantic both characters are. I think they'd just have a good time for a while.
Still, it's worth a track.
618237
You don't remember how Caboose fell in love with a tank named Shiela?
THE D'AWWWWWWWWWW LEVELS ARE OVER 9000
Caboose's realization was something that I believe was a long time coming; he's smart enough to realize this, but RT never really had time to throw something like this into the series. Good work on that bit!
Just a tip for future writing, make sure you show the reader that Caboose and Pinkie are in love. It's just that all of a sudden, Caboose just kisses Pinkie Pie, or vice versa, without any real hint other than "Sorry, I got caught up in the moment". Slow down the relationship and make it real. Show us what Caboose feels in this moment. It's been about ten minutes real-time and he's already at first base with Pinkie. Start with basic conversation and expand on their chemistry. Everyone enjoys their conversations, as they're really random and entertaining. They talk about things that practically no one would even consider chatting about, making it hilarious. Then, as they start to get to know each other, growing closer and closer, the first kiss can make its debut.
Other than that, love it!
I hear everything Caboose says in my head in Joel's voice...
This is far and away my favourite crossover ever. EVER
I only have one problem with this, and that is the pacing. I mean, you put the character in a relationship in the first four chapters. While I like the story, I felt like you could have waited a bit longer and let the relationship build. I mean hell, they knew each other for ten minutes. Also, are you going to explain why he is suddenly a pony, where his armor went, or what he looks like?

It wasn't a kiss of romance but one to cheer him up because she knew he was sad.
And Caboose kissed her back because it is his character to get attached to feminine things quickly (AKA Sheila and his email).
Rage quit Has probably read this like a hundred times.
fastest relationship progression i have seen in a while.
i'm ok with this
If I ever manage to make decent literature, I am definitely making a ship-fic of Pinkie and Caboose.
I've read 110 chapters and noticed that some days passed by where we don't hear from Caboose and Pinkie, so making a side-story where they spend the day together would be highly likely!
And as much as 'spending the day together' sounds dull, needless to remind 'the people' that we're talking about Pinkie Pie and Caboose here.
Also, doing my second time around the fic, enjoy it so much.
Cheers!
Kyor
So, what can we learn?
Caboose gets extreamly emotional when depressed, hmm, sound like anypony we know?
"Pinkie gave a big and pink cupcake to Caboose, and then she grabbed a blue one for herself. She used her free hoof to grab onto Caboose’s free hoof to lead him out."
^ Uhm... So... they're walking on their hind legs...?
601349 Also, "By the nine Divines" -- TRIPLE CROSS-OVER?!?! That's like... a time-mobius double reach-around... *looks at profile picture and chuckles* make it quadruple...
Okay, maybe I'm a little late but.....
Pinkie pie and Caboose shipping
1st: dawwwwww
2nd: equestria is going to be destroyed!!
3rd: is he still wearing armor, and if not, cutie mark???

Hey! At least Mara approves!
Dang it I was listening to "Love is in Bloom Remix" while reading this
Which only made my D'AWWWs bigger
