They say every fruit in the Evrefree Forest is poisonous save one. That there is one fruit that can be eaten and will grant you eternal youth and immunity to all poison of every kind. But the price of eating the fruit of eternal youth is that you can never find your way back home.
They say there are monsters that live in the Everfree Forest. One of them, the vampire, can make itself look like a normal pony to lure you deep into the woods. It is this creature alone that can show you the fruit of eternal youth.
Pinkie knows every legend surrounding these things. She knows she can stay safe and befriend one of these monsters, so long as what she's heard is true.
Warning! This story is a prequel to Final Corruption. You don't have to read that one to understand this, but it does contain a spoiler.
OK, seriously, why can't we like stories multiple times! A great prequel to a great story. Absolutely loved it.
Awww, it's so sweet, I love her
Too pure for words.
nice work
Really liked it! I was actually hoping for something like this when you went into Pinkie's backstory
This is how you make Pinkie my favorite character of this story, this is really touching.
Happy that you are writing.
Wholesome
It's rare to see stories about vampires that are just... kind? Not slaves to their nature, but not completely free of it either.

I tend to be very sympathetic towards anything that's typically a villain in other stories.
So grab the fruit, go home, and then eat it. Got it.

If you want the specifics on how the fruit works you could always read Final Corruption.
Friendshipping. That's a new one. Fed Ex or Purolator? UPS? And how do you convince your friends to stay in the box?

If they're really your friend they'll stay in the box.

Was there a typo?
I kind of feel bad for Pinkie. If I found out that my family was lying to me my whole life, I would probably trun my back against them and never come back too.
At least she made friends with vampires. At least they seemed nice.
If I were to read this with Final Corruption (and don't want the spoiler affecting it) should I read this after Chapter 10, or after the whole thing?

It doesn't spoil anything after chapter 10. You can read it any time.
According to fanfiction, I've read this story but never marked it... Hmm...

You could mark it now.

Well, good news, bad news. I don't remember a single word in this story. Good news, it was already marked in my folder as seen and read. I just redid that. More bad news, I don't remember enough to even rate this story in one of my folders.
11234995
Maybe it was so good you forgot?

Next time, perhaps, given the fact that I read the entire chapter, I was probably stratified with it.
Now you're grasping clouds

Another Victory for Epsilon.
Now we need the Rainbow Dash prequel, you know?
Really, the whole little world you built up in this could use more writing.
11349086
That one would probably be a bit longer. Unless I just skip to the part where Rainbow Dash is dying in the woods.
11349086
Agreed on all points.
