Burned Gingerbread and Fresh Pie - fallen starr



When Sugarcube Corner burned down, Twilight offered to let Pinkie live with her. Living with Pinkie can bring out a lot of things in a person, though. Annoying habits, odd quirks, and feelings that had been ignored for a long time.

"6" Epilogue

Twilight blinked slowly. The sunlight was bright coming through the opened curtains of the bedroom. Waving her hand at them, they closed. She started to sit up, but found Pinkie’s arm wrapped around her. Twilight grinned as she remembered exactly what had happened yesterday evening.

But didn’t we fall asleep on the couch? She still had the clothes she wore the day before on. Pinkie was still in her waitress attire. I know we did. Did Pinkie carry me up here? She smiled at the thought. She picked up the hand Pinkie had thrown across her, lacing their fingers together. I was going to actually get some work done today, but I guess I can sleep in.

She had just closed her eyes when Pinkie sat up, gasping. She looked around worriedly for a moment before flopping back onto her pillow. “Just a dream.” Looking over, she smiled at Twilight. “Hey, cutie.”

Twilight felt herself blush. “Hey yourself. Bad dream?”

Pinkie nodded. “Yeah. Better now though.” She shifted closer to Twilight. “You’re here and safe.”

“Do you want to talk about it? You seemed pretty worried.” Twilight wrapped her arms around Pinkie as she nuzzled into her neck.

She felt Pinkie shake her head. “No. It’s always the same one anymore. I know it isn’t real.”

Twilight pulled away from Pinkie, sitting up. Pinkie protested, but Twilight shook her head. “What do you mean, it’s the same one. Do you have nightmares often?”

Shrugging, Pinkie sighed. “It’s just…fire. Places burn. Sometimes it’s the bakery. Sometimes it’s Jack’s house or Rarity’s shop or Chy’s cottage. But a lot of times, it’s just you in a fire. And I can’t get you out and you won’t use your magic because your too afraid and—“

Twilight placed a finger on Pinkie’s lips. “Hey, I’m right here. You saw what the Cake’s wrote to you. Faulty wiring. As a town-owned building, the library gets checked out a lot. We’re safe here, okay?”

Pinkie nodded. Grinning, Twilight leaned in closer. “And you know what? I can do this…” She closed the gap quickly, giving Pinkie a chaste kiss. “…and cheer you up.”

It worked. Pinkie’s eyes widened as her grin grew. “You know what this means?”

“A party?” Twilight said.

“A party!” Grinning, Pinkie got out of bed. “Oh my goodness, I have to get a cake and punch and streamers and—I have to tell the Cakes. Mrs. Cake is going to be so happy. Have you told your parents? What about Johnathan? You probably told the Princess, though, but she might want to know that we’re actually together now. And—“

“Yes, yes, Pinkie. We’ll write the letters today.” Getting out of the bed as well, Twilight stretched. “Party’s when? Today?”

Pinkie nodded. “Of course.”

“So, how about I find some streamers, and you start the cake?”

“And maybe I’ll let you help me make frosting again for the party.”

Twilight’s eyebrows rose. She walked over to Pinkie, grabbing her hands. “I am one lucky girl,” she whispered.

In response, Pinkie wrapped her hands around Twilight’s neck, pressing their lips together once more.

Author's Note:

So, this is probably the weakest part of the whole story, but man, school is already kinda getting to me. I had planned to make this with more drama in the later chapters, but with the work I'm putting into school right now I just don't have the time to write it. So, that may come later, as a part II, but right now, this is what we've got. It's been great guys, thank you for reading and faving. You're the best.

I do hope you continue the story, if you can't/don't I understand completely, I really dug the what you were doing, and the characters and world you set up. Oh well, good luck in school tho! It can cripple even the greatest of authors.

3810807 what I'm going to try to do is write a little every day, but I have an overload of hours and while my classes aren't hard, they take a lot of time and work so I've got to concentrate on this stuff. Thank you for reading and liking this story, though. That means a lot to me.

Cute ending:heart:
Definitely keeping an eye out for any possible sequel.

Weakest? I would hardly call anything related to this story weak.

Except that it's over.:(

4406418 I should have been clearer with my joke.

4768962 Maybe it was an attempt to humanize Twilight's name?

Hi!

Wow, I liked this! I came in and read it after I read your recent "Book Club" story. To be honest, I liked this one a bit better - it's nicely laid out and has a lot of meat to it.

Well, other than the Epilogue, which kind of just stops. I'd half expected the owner of the cafe to let leak to Twilight's parents about the new relationship and that causing trouble, but it didn't... which I'm not upset about, but I was surprised that you'd established a relationship and not used it.

A small criticism - I didn't like renaming the characters. Twilia was kind of okay as a nickname, but renaming her brother Jonathan is just wrong. :)

6940014 Well, I am actually working on the sequel to it, which is going to cover the fallout from all of that. I'm also going through and changing the names back as I can, but that is a long, boring process, so I haven't quite gotten it done yet. The next story will be them with their proper names, though. When I changed the names like that, I don't know why, but I thought it was the most obvious thing to do for them as humans, way back when I wrote this. I'm really happy that you liked it, though.


These are all so late I'm so sorry. They were during my hiatus and I guess I just didn't really look much.
6012506 Yeah, thanks for pointing out the errors, I'll fix them soon. Thanks for reading and liking the story.

4768962 I'm sorry. I'll be changing the names back to normal soon.

3817372 Aww, thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

3812201 I should hopefully have the first chapter of that out within a month. I've switched starting tactics, and the story is flowing a lot better now.

Again with Johnathon and we also get a Chy instead of Shy.

7537475 at one point I had 'humanized' their names as well, and I guess I just missed a couple when trying to go through and find them all.

7537562 Yeah. Johnathon is the only one I noticed while reading so no worries there. Not a bad story overall.
