Mail Raiding and Pit Stops
"Oh Gummy, the cake batter isn't a hat!" Pinkie squealed, taking the perfectly balanced blue mixing bowl off of her pet alligator's head. "Didn't I tell you that last time?" The mare had begun mixing the batter once again, using the forelock in her mane to cradle and pour milk into the bowl.
"Oooh no, that was with CUPCAKE batter! Cake batter is a different thing entirely!" Pinkie spooned the batter into a mold, and after tasting some for herself, poked it into the oven.
"Mr. Cake, would you mind finishing up the cake for me? It's Gummy's lunch time!"
"Sure thing, Pinkie! And actually, your shift ends at lunch today. It's Sunday, remember?"
"Oh yeaaaaahhhh!" Pinkie giggled and rolled her eyes. "I enjoy baking so much I almost forgot! Again!" The pinkish pony let out another series of giggles and snorts before grabbing her alligator and skipping up the stairs and into her room.
"Whatcha in the mood for today, Gummy-Wummy? We have the pond-stuff flavored gator feed, and the sea-stuff flavored one!" Pinkie handled two cans in her hooves, staring intently at her baby alligator.
He blinked.
"Pond-stuff it is!" She said with a smile, pouring the goop onto a little plate, and covering the stuff with rainbow-colored sprinkles. "I know how much you LOVE sprinkles, Gummy, so I made sure to put extra! Here you go!" The bowl was slid to the alligator and Pinkie turned to the door.
"My my, Pinkie Pie, you sure do have a way with understanding baby alligators." A disembodied voice said from behind her.
"Huhwaa--?" Pinkie blinked, spinning around to come face-to-face with a certain somedraconequus, and my face-to-face, I mean literally FACE to FACE. So close that Pinkie's nose was scrunched. She backed up with a simple hop. "Discord? What're you doing here? Do you want some pond-stuff too?"
"Blech, no. Can't I come visit one of my dearest friends without being questioned? If I were Twilight you wouldn't have asked a thing!" Discord crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Pinkie, to which she returned an almost mirrored look.
"Oh! Okay! What do you wanna do? Talk? Go somewhere? I could give you cuddles if you want! Last time you passed up my offer! Oh wait, I almost forgot about your huge crush on Princess Ce--" a paw was jammed over Pinkie's mouth, hushing her immediately.
"Let's go somewhere," Discord said in a somewhat-annoyed voice. "I can't fit all too well in your room." And in a quick flash of light, the two were on a hill. Ponyville could be seen in the distance, and there were several wild-growing flowers surrounding them, as well as a tall weeping willow tree. The place was quite beautiful. Pinkie looked around, her eyes doubling in size.
"OHMIGOSHDISCORDTHISPLACEISSOPRETTTTYYYYY!!!"
"Yes, it is. This place holds a key place in my past. It has been around far longer than Ponyville. I showed the place to Fluttershy a whole back, and we have most of our picnics here. Whenever we have them, that is."
"You sure did poof me here really suddenly, and I don't even know why!"
"Why, to talk about your love life of course!"
"Whaaaaaaaaaat?!"
"As a good friend that looks out for his other friends, I have made myself several internal pairings for you and your four other friends. For example, Twilight and that guard guy! Do you even KNOW how much chaos that pairing causes? ESPECIALLY with her being a prince--" Discord halted himself, seeing that Pinkie was getting very confused. He cleared his throat. "Mm, yes. Anyways. I seem to not have a pairing for you OR Rarity. But Rarity is a separate story entirely, seeing that her crush changes almost weekly. You on the other hoof..." He said, sliding close to her face a bopping her nose with a fuzzy paw, "you never talk about that certain-stallion!"
Pinkie had flushed into a light shade of ballerina pink. "Me? L-Like somepony? No, I don't have time for that! I only have time for parties!" She looked like she instantly regretted saying that. "I mean, baking! Baking and spending time with my friends."
"Aha, don't lie to me Pinkie Pie. As a creature of chaos, I can tell when somepony is lying." Not really. "I knew you would have this reaction, so I've done some digging myself." A pair of spectacles appeared on his face. "I checked your outgoing mail. Most letters go to the rock farm, but I noticed one peculiar letter..." A piece of pink paper appeared in his claws. "This one letter is decorated with various forms of glitter, stickers, and quite creative doodles. Now, I was quite confused by this, seeing none of your OTHER letters had this much creativity nor detail put into them." He stood, disappearing from lying on the hill grass and reappearing on a branch of the weeping willow.
Discord stared down at Pinkie Pie, whose mane was now sticking up in places. She had a strange look on her face, however keeping a estranged forced smile. "Who was the letter addressed too?" She said, her voice moving slowly, her pitch surprisingly dropping lower. She already knew the answer to her question.
"Why, it belongs to somepony by the name of Cheese Sandwich."

"Waahaahaahoo! This is a great one, Boneless Two!" The tall, lanky stallion cried as his body halted from the rabid shaking it had been doing.
"There's gonna be this awesome baby shower in Dodge City! There's usually not much you can do for those, but when duty calls, duty calls!" He smiled lightly, and began trotting Southeast.
"Let's see... We're in the unicorn range right now, because we just threw that cute lil' filly her seventh birthday party, and we need to get to Dodge City," he said aloud, mentally picturing the map of Equestria that he had memorized.
"Our safest bet is to pass through Ponyville, cut through the Rambling Rock Ridge, and safely arrive in Dodge! Of course, we could always take the train, but that's only last resort, because what fun is there in arriving quickly? On top of that, I got an early alert! I have two weeks to get there, so we can stop and see some of the sites! We can even--" Cheese halted in his tracks, his eyes opening really wide. "Wait a minute. We have to go through Ponyville! Boneless Two, why didn't you tell me!"
Silence.
"Yeah yeah, I already mentioned it, but I always phase out when I'm talking about geography." Cheese looked like he was about to burst.
"Do you know what this means? We'll get to see Pinkie again! Oooh, there's so much that we can catch up on! I mean, yeah, we write each other every week, but talking is WAY more fun than just writing." Cheese's already-huge grin tripled in size.
"Come on Boneless, we're making a pit stop in Ponyville!"

Not bad so far!
Oh my gosh, Discord's a shipper.
I can already tell this'll be a great ride.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
Ohhhh buck, what's Discord gonna do?
if discord is the one doing the shipping it is going to be good
Hmm... I wonder what's motivating Discord to look into Pinkie's love life
4505950 Apparently he believes it's being a good friend.
MOARR I'm loving this fanfic so far
Truthfully, after the season finale I find it much more believable that Discord would make a truly sincere effort to help his pony friends, so while it's still a bit of a stretch for me to see him as playing cupid, it's easier for me to accept now than perhaps before.
Though perhaps he's not ENTIRELY without ulterior motives.
The fact that you typed this all out on your iphone is actually kind of impressive to me, seeing as how I lack the patience for anything longer than a quick text on my own phone.
Favorite line:
On another note, I like how the last scene with Cheese Sandwich talking to Boneless 2 parallels Pinkie talking to Gummy. Aside from being cute and funny, it also quickly reestablishes their similarities and how they're uniquely compatible. Pinkie's friends certainly love and accept her, but I like CheesePie because he's quite possible the only pony who can understand her.
This makes me wonder who he ships for the rest of the main 6
