Intermission: Pinkie's Diary Entries

Dear Buddy,

Ohmigoshohmigoshohmisgosh! You will not believe what happened today, Buddy! I already told Gummy about it, because he's such a good listener, but I thought it wouldn't be fair not to tell you! I tell you everything and to not tell you this would be a big deal, so I'm going to go ahead and tell you!

You know how I've been telling you about how I kind of like Sombry? Oh, who am I kidding, I am totally crushing on him! I don't know why, though; he's usually such a grumpy pants. I mean, sure he's nice some of the time, but you know, he's still a grumpy pants... even though he doesn't wear pants.

Anyway, I kinda told Rares about... that dream. Yeah, I know, it wasn't my best move, but I was desperate! I couldn't tell Twilight because she'd flip out and give me a serious lecture and probably give me a book report and I've had enough of those in high school!

I couldn't tell Rainbow or Applejack either because they totally flipped their lids when I told them about how I accidentally spent the night with Sombry all those months ago! And I honestly doubt Flutters knows anything about that kind of stuff, what with her being super duper shy.

Besides, Rarity knows way more about that stuff than I do! So, when I told her, she pretty much just told me it was normal and that I shouldn't worry about it. Well, I am worried about it! And she really didn't make me feel better when she told me she thought Sombry was attractive, too...

Oh, well, at least I'll get to talk to her at the spa later! See ya later, Buddy!


Dear Buddy,

OH MY GOSH, WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!

I didn't get to talk to Rarity today and it's all her fault! What did I do to deserve this? Was it because of those corn cakes I ate the other day? I let Mrs.Cake take it out of my paycheck, just to be fair! ...OK, maybe I lied about how many I ate, but I promise I'll pay her back!

And, the worst part of it, Rarity brought Sombra with her! Why did she have to go and make everything worse? Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I can't even look at him without my heart getting all thumpity and bumpity or my tummy getting topsy turvy! And why does he have to look so cute when he's confused? GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Well, at least Rarity didn't tell him my secret! She'd never do that; she Pinkie Promised! And I think everypony knows the full extent of a Pinkie Promise!


Dear Buddy,

...Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! She told him?! What in Equestria is wrong with her?! SHE BROKE A PINKIE PROMISE! Why on EARTH would she do something like that? She knows that they're a big deal! You know, I don't even feel bad for slapping her!

And Sombra? He knew the entire time and didn't do anything! I guess that could mean only one thing... he doesn't like me back. I should've guessed as much; why would he go for somepony like me when he can get something way better?

Hang on, somepony's ramming into my door. OH MY GOSH, IT'S SOMBRY! Wait, no, I'm still mad at him! Heart, stop thumping so much! I better hide you before he gets in here, Buddy! I'll talk later!


Dear Buddy,

Oh. My. Celestia. It happened. It actually happened. You're probably wondering what I'm talking about, aren't you, Buddy?

Last night, when Sombra came over, I yelled at him for not telling me that he knew I liked him. Boy, was I mad! But, I stopped yelling and ended up breaking down into tears while he held me. Then, when I managed to calm down a little, he told me the most insane thing ever.

He likes me back! Sombry likes me! And, well, something else happened... We kissed. Like, a lot. And then, um, Twilight kinda walked in on us. Hehehehe, it was really awkward... Especially since she told Mrs.Cake and Rarity, who were downstairs waiting to hear what happened!

But, I didn't get to hear what was happening because Sombry started tickling me! Who knew that my neck was ticklish? I sure didn't! Don't worry, I got my revenge! Turns out Sombry's sides are seriously ticklish, because he wouldn't stop laughing! Then, after that, we started kissing again and well... I think you can guess what happened next.

No, not like that! Sombry just slept over, that's all! We didn't do anything! Well, except kiss. A lot. He's asleep right now, so I'm trying to be really quiet while writing this. The only reason I know he's still sleeping is because he snores. Like, a lot. Maybe one day I'll let you meet him? He's really nice... when he's not grumpy, I mean.

I'll talk later! I'm still kinda sleepy... But I don't think I'll be able to sleep through Sombry's snores. Bye~


Dear Buddy,

Hello, there. This is Sombra, in case you were wondering... Wait, what am I thinking? You're a book, you can't wonder! I think Pinkie's rubbing off on me... Oh, well, it may be for the best?

Anyway, Pinkie, in the event you're reading this, I'm just telling you now, you are not a quiet writer. You mumble what you're writing to yourself... Of course, I didn't know that at the time. I thought you were going insane, which, in all honesty, isn't that insane. But, of course, when you went to sleep, I decided to see what you were doing and found this.

Did you seriously name your diary Buddy? I mean, it's not the strangest thing you've ever done, but still, you named your diary? I'm starting to question my taste in mares... Oh, well, I still like you. And don't think for a second that I can find somepony better than you~

Also, you're not exactly a quiet sleeper, either; looks like I'm not the only pony to snore, huh? And you seemed to be sleeping just fine while I was "snoring". I put air quotes because I know for a fact that I don't snore. I've asked several ponies beforehoof and they always told me that I didn't. Then again, they were my slaves and they did look awful scared whenever I asked... Oh. Never mind, then.

Knowing you, you're probably going to be pretty mad about me reading your dia- I mean, Buddy. Don't worry, I only read the recent entries... Do you really think I look cute when I'm confused? Because I must look positively adorable whenever you're around.

I better wrap up writing in here soon; despite being a heavy sleeper(and snorer), you're starting to stir a bit. I'll talk to you when you wake up... But you'll probably know that by the time you read this later on, won't you?

Before I go, I have one question to ask you; what exactly was so embarrassing about "that dream"?

Author's Note:

I was watching one of the new episodes and I thought, "Hey, what if Pinks wrote about good ol' Sombry in her diary? What would she say about him?" So, here it is, in chapter form!

Yeah, I know it was a short chapter, but I needed to cool down from writing so much! Also, I'm going to go back and revise the previous chapters a little bit. I gotta tidy it up and all that jazz~

Also, this is kind of an intermission between the story arcs.

Story Arc #1: Pinkie and Sombra's Relationship Developing
Story Arc#2: Pinkie and Sombra's Relationship Fully Developed and Thriving

So, the entries are kind of like checkpoints, in a way.
