A Perfect Pitch

Used To Care What They'd Say; Let 'Em Into My Brain

Pipp stared at the ceiling above her bed in the dark, the sounds of the three other mares sleeping, specifically Izzy's snoring, filling the silence in the air. Pipp wanted to go back to sleep—she was so tired—but all she could do was stare at the ceiling. She wasn't surprised. This wasn't the first time in the past three weeks she's woken up from some weird dream that made her...uncomfortable wasn't the right word. Confused? Yeah, that was it. Confused.

Her mother's words rang through Pipp's head, not for the first time:

"We didn't realize how much we needed each other. How wonderful it can be when we're...all together..."

"With the girls away now, I feel so...alone sometimes..."

"You've flown the nest and started living your lives. But I still have a life too..."

"You're not alone..."

While she wasn't exactly thrilled about her mother's relationship with Alphabittle, she was happy her mother had somepony.

But, what Pipp was scared to admit was that sometimes...sometimes she felt alone too. She loved living with her friends and wouldn't have it any other way. It's just that...back at Zephyr Heights, she had a pony who understood her. Her mother understood her life on social media, seemed to be the only pony who did sometimes, and how much it meant to her. Yes, she had her sister, but Zipp didn't understand her the way her mother did. Zipp didn't care much about social media, or at all really, and didn't understand all the impact being on it could have on Equestria. All she understood was what was right in front of her.

But, there seemed to be one other pony here in Maretime Bay who understood. And while he didn't exactly understand social media itself—okay, if she's being completely honest, he was about as good with technology as her mother was, which wasn't saying much—he understood the impact it left. He understood why she was on it so much. Why it was so important to her. It was the same reason he worked so hard to protect Maretime Bay.

Love. They did what they did for love. Pipp wanted her pipsqueaks to feel loved. To feel safe, accepted, and seen. And, in all reality, she truly did love her pipsqueaks. They were her family. It was one similarity she and him had in common. Hitch protected Maretime Bay because it wasn't only his home, it wasn't only because he was good at it, and it wasn't even because he loved doing it. There were times Hitch confided in Pipp that he didn't always love being sheriff, especially after Sunny's father died and Sunny began her activist work. No, he did it because he loved the ponies of Maretime Bay. They were his family, especially since his dad died when he was such a young foal.

But that wasn't all that Pipp liked about Hitch. Pipp has been known to be...impulsive sometimes, her failed all-natural beauty projects proof. She tended to do things without completely thinking them through, she supposed that was one thing she had in common with her sister. Though, hers was on a much smaller scale. She cleared her throat aloud. Clearly.

Hitch, on the other hand, was balanced, and stable. He brought stability to her life. He helped her think things through. Not to mention he was a music lover. Every time music would come on, he'd suddenly be unable to control his own body. It made her giggle every time, even when she was just thinking about it.

She sobered up. Why did she have this reaction whenever she thought about him? How did he make her laugh when he wasn't even around? He was just a friend, right? Nothing more. Nothing less. So, why did she feel this way? Why was she up late thinking about him? Dreaming about him? It made no sense. She's never felt this way for anypony before.

She climbed out of bed and flew over to the elevator that led to the top of the Brighthouse, where the crystals were kept. She normally didn't use her wings to go short distances like this since even after a year of being able to fly, it wasn't her natural reaction. One year didn't take away eighteen years of flightlessness. But she didn't want to wake up her friends and sister with her hoofsteps.

Once she was at the elevator, she put her hoof on the hoof scanner and flew in, landing as soon as the door closed and she was in the clear. The elevator rose and deposited her on the roof of the Crystal Brighthouse, where her eyes widened in surprise. On the floor, sitting with a hot mug of something, leaning over dozens of papers and books was her sister Zipp, muttering to herself.

When she heard the elevator open, Zipp looked up, seeing her sister slowly walking out and examining the papers.

"Couldn't sleep either?" Pipp asked, sitting down across from Zipp.

"Sorry, did I wake you? I tried to be as quiet as possible to get my notes and research out but...well let's say I'm not Izzy," Zipp said with a small chuckle.

"No...you didn't wake me," Pipp let out a heavy sigh.

"Izzy?"

Pipp didn't say anything, just shaking her head. She'd hoped she'd have some time by herself in the fresh air, to sort things out. And, if anypony had to be out here, she wished it would've been Sunny. Sunny somehow always knew what to say, not to mention Sunny knew Hitch since foalhood. Surely she'd know what to do. But Zipp? Zipp'd just laugh at her and make fun of her about it. Hell, she wasn't even sure of her feelings. She couldn't take having her sister make fun of her about it. She wasn't even close to being ready for it.

"Pipp? Are you okay?" Zipp asked, concern filling her voice.

"Oh, I'm fine. So, uh...why are you up?" Pipp already knew the answer, but she wanted to steer the conversation away from herself.

"Oh, I just couldn't stop thinking about the evil alicorn Princess Twilight was trying to warn us about. I mean, they could be anypony or anywhere. We don't even know their name. I mean, we know they're an alicorn but, are they like Sunny? Can they change into their alicorn form? Or are they like the alicorns of ancient Equestria? I mean, we don't know much about alicorns as it is, and—" Zipp stopped her explanation when she realized Pipp wasn't even listening to her. "Pipp, are you even listening to me?" Zipp only received silence for a reply. Pipp seemed to be zoned out in her own world, which wasn't like her at all. "Pipp?" Zipp reached out a hoof to touch her sister's shoulder. "Pipp?"

Pipp felt a hoof on her shoulder and gasped, startled. She looked up at Zipp, who had a concerned look on her face. Pipp bit her lower lip, knowing that Zipp knew something was wrong and that she couldn't hide it from her anymore. Figures. She should've known she couldn't hide anything from her sister of all ponies. She's a detective for crying out loud.

"Pipp, are you sure you're okay?"

Pipp hesitated, before answering with a smile, "Yeah, of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be okay? I just came up here for some fresh air and to...admire the view! Yes. It's so...beautiful at night. I wanted to take some beautiful selfies for my ponygram page." Pipp lied, taking out her phone and taking some quick photos to keep up her facade, keeping her fake smile plastered on her face without fail. She was good at the fake smile. She mastered it. She could do it.

Zipp wasn't convinced. She knew her sister better than that. "You don't look okay."

"I'm fine, Zi—"

"You're wearing your social media smile. I'm not stupid."

Pipp scoffed, that reaction genuine. "How in Equestria can you even tell? You couldn't even tell Mom's real laugh apart from the phony laugh she does in public."

"Oh come on, that's not fair. Mom's public laugh changes like Sunny changing into her alicorn form. It's impossible to keep track of every time it happens."

Pipp groaned a bit, knowing her sister was right, but not wanting to admit it.

"So, you going to tell me what's wrong or am I going to have to keep talking about Princess Twilight's message and all my thoughts on it until you tell me just to shut me up? I'm good with either," Zipp said with a shrug.

"Ugh, I hate how I can't hide anything from you," Pipp said with a small groan. She stood up, slowly walking over to the balcony, resting her hooves on it, and looking down at Maretime Bay. Specifically at the sheriff's station.

Zipp followed her sister's gaze and furrowed her brows, confused. "Is this about Hitch?"

Pipp's eyes widened slightly, before quickly looking away from the sheriff's station, and looking at the rest of the town, but Zipp caught Pipp's small reaction. She couldn't hide anything from her. Zipp was about to say something about it when she noticed the small blush on Pipp's face. Zipp's own eyes widened in surprise, staring at Pipp before glancing at the sheriff's station and back again, doing this multiple times before finally being able to say something.

"Wow," She said, shocked. Pipp looked at her, her eyes panicked. Zipp tried to play it cool, her way of reassuring her sister there was no reason to panic over it, but she didn't do so well. "Well, I've got to say, you've surprised the detective. Wasn't what I was expecting."

Pipp rolled her eyes, scoffing at Zipp's attempt to play it cool. "How'd you guess, oh mighty detective?"

"You couldn't hide that blush on your cheeks."

Immediately, Pipp raised her hooves to her face, only causing her blush to deepen. She looked back down at the sheriff's station, not sure what to say about all this. Hell, she could barely explain it to herself, let alone another pony.

"It doesn't have to make sense, sis." Zipp wrapped Pipp with her wing like a blanket, and pulled her in close, like they used to do when they were fillies. "All that matters is that you love each other and that's that."

Pipp let out a light chuckle. "Since when have you become the romantic," Pipp leaned in closer, a sly smile on her face. "Is there somepony special in your life I should know about?"

"N-no!" Zipp said with a blush, rubbing the back of her neck with her hoof, and looking down at the ground. She took a deep breath and looked down at her hooves on the ground. "I guess I started being more open to it when Mom and Alphabittle, you know..." Zipp trailed off, looking at Pipp who was looking at the balcony railing, before asking, "That's when it occurred to you, wasn't it?"

"Hitch is our friend. We play board games with him! We're not like...like...like..." Pipp began using the same argument she used with her mom, but soon trailed off, losing her fight.

"And why not?" Zipp sighed and put her hoof under Pipp's chin, forcing Pipp to look up at her. Zipp stared into her sister's eyes with sincere ones of her own. "Look Pipp, I gotta be honest, it'll be a bit weird at first if things...you know...I mean, my best friend and my sister...dating...it'll take some getting used to. But, as your older sister, your happiness is more important than what makes me uncomfortable. I want you to be happy. If there's anything that day at the unicorn's crazy impossible-to-win Jinxie games taught me, it's that everypony deserves to be happy, even if you don't fully understand it. I guess that's why Mom and Alphabittle bothered me so much. I just didn't understand it. No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't wrap my mind around it. It was an enigma. It made no sense, and, I guess on some subconscious level, that made it wrong. If I couldn't understand something, then it's wrong, you know. I mean, think about it. Mom and Alphabittle hated each other. I mean, Alphabittle was threatening to blast Mom with his nonexistent magic!"

Pipp chuckled along with Zipp. "And Mom, being Mom, was all like 'I'd like to see you try!'" Pipp mimicked their mother surprisingly well, making the sisters laugh harder.

"The point, Pipp, is that even though it made no sense, that didn't mean it was wrong. It meant I was wrong for thinking that. I guess what I'm trying to say in this very long and awkward speech is that even if I don't understand it, hell, even if you don't understand it, you should go for it anyway. I don't think love's supposed to be understood. That's what makes it so...great?" Zipp shook her head. "Just...go for it. Take a risk. Don't let me, or anypony, and more importantly, yourself stop you from getting out there and getting your stallion."

There was a moment of silence while the two sisters stared at each other, each of them at a loss for words. Until Pipp broke the silence. "Wow...that was...long and...deep and...long..." Pipp said, not used to seeing this side of Zipp.

Zipp chuckled nervously, looking away from Pipp. "Yeah, that was a bit of a speech and...whatnot but...uh..."

"Thanks, Zipp." Zipp looked at Pipp with wide eyes. "I needed to hear that. While most of what you said was a bit sappy, you're right about two things: I am holding myself back and I don't understand it. I'm letting my lack of understanding hold me back. I...I'll think about confessing. I'm not sure I'm ready to do that yet."

Zipp playfully bumped Pipp's shoulder. "What? Are you kidding me? You talk to thousands of ponies via social media every day, documenting everything through livestreaming and you're telling me you're scared about confessing your feelings with your best friend?"

"Hey! Speaking into a camera is so different than one on one conversation. Especially when that conversation can make the rest of our friendship all awkward and everything if Hitch doesn't like me back. I mean, what if he doesn't? I'd never be able to look him in the eye again!" Pipp said dramatically, grabbing Zipp's shoulders.

"Well, if you want, I can always—" Zipp pulled down her spyglasses dramatically. "—do a little detective work for you. A little investigation on whether or not he likes you."

"While that'd be great, it'd also be wrong. I'd feel incredibly guilty invading his privacy like that."

Zipp chuckled a bit. "You? Feeling guilty about invading privacy? Do you even know what that means?"

Pipp playfully hit Zipp on the chest with her hoof. "Okay okay, I get it. I should lay off the phone a bit and not record everything. What can I say? The pipsqueaks need me. But, before I do anything else, I should probably talk to Sunny about it. I mean, she has known him since they were foals."

"Yeah," Zipp muttered, putting her hoof to her chin and narrowing her eyes. "You're right. If anypony knows if he likes you, it'd be her..." Zipp trailed off, an idea forming in her head.

"No no no no, Zipp, turn your detective mind off. This is something I don't want you to investigate. Pleassse do not meddle in this. Get me back for sending you on a wild goose chase for Sunny's lantern some other time. Let me handle this. Okay?"

Zipp hesitated, thinking about it for a moment before saying, "Fine. I promise I won't meddle. Too much. Hoof to heart." Pipp gave Zipp a grateful smile. "So, if you're not fishing for info, why talk to Sunny about it."

"Well, Hitch and Sunny are like family. They grew up together. They're like us, you know. I just wanna make sure Sunny's a-okay with it. I mean, imagine if Hitch started dating me and you weren't okay with it. You'd hate him for it. I don't want to come in between their friendship, and I don't want to gain a coltfriend if it means ruining mine with Sunny in the process."

Zipp shrugged, agreeing with her sister. If Hitch dated Pipp without Zipp's approval or support, Zipp would be furious. It'd be a big F U to Zipp, and that was something Zipp did not respond well to. "I guess that makes sense. Alright, talk to Sunny, though I'm pretty sure she'll be okay with it."

"Me too, but...I just want to give her that respect first, you know? It hurts that Mom didn't trust us enough to be supportive of her relationship with Alphabittle that she didn't even tell us. And it hurts even more that we proved her right. I just don't want to put Sunny in that position, you know?"

"Ya, I do..."

---

Pipp stood at the entrance to the kitchen, the wall hiding her a bit. She took a deep breath, suddenly feeling uncertain. Her wings felt so empty without her phone. Earlier, she had done a live stream saying she was going to be completely offline today due to some personal business. This was one of those rare moments where she needed to be completely and fully present.

She took another deep breath. The sound of Sunny cleaning up the breakfast mess in the kitchen was the only thing that broke the silence. Swallowing nervously, she stepped in. She had to do it now. The Brighthouse was empty except for her and Sunny and she wasn't sure when she'd get an opportunity like this again.

"Oh! Hey Pipp, I didn't know you were here." Sunny said when she saw Pipp walking into the kitchen.

Pipp chuckled nervously. "Um...yeah. I...uh...just got done doing a livestream."

"Oh, okay," Sunny said with a smile, resuming her cleaning. Pipp just stood there, silent, not sure what to say or how to start this conversation. Sunny noticed Pipp staring, just standing there, and Sunny quickly became a little uncomfortable. "Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?" Sunny asked, putting the pan she just cleaned away.

Pipp took a deep breath, walking up to sit behind the counter. While she was 95% sure...okay 85% sure that Sunny would be okay with her and Hitch, Pipp wasn't completely sure. There was a small part of her that worried Sunny wouldn't be okay with it. Pipp didn't know what she'd do then. Pipp wanted to respect Sunny's wishes, but the more Pipp thought about it, the more she realized she loved Hitch. Whenever she thought about him, she'd have butterflies in her stomach, her heart would race, and she'd smile. She just hoped Sunny would understand.

"So...uh...you've known Hitch for a while, right? Since you were foals. Uh... how long have you guys... you know..." Pipp trailed off, watching Sunny.

"Oh, we met the first day of kindergarten, during recess. We've been best friends ever since. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, umm....uh...no reason. Just...curious..." Pipp started to stand up to walk away. She couldn't do this. She just couldn't. She wasn't as courageous as her sister was. She wasn't as brave. This was going to blow up in her face. She just knew it.

She had just turned around and was facing the living room when she saw her sister Zipp standing in the entryway. Where in Equestria did she come from? When did she get here? And how did she get inside without either Sunny or her noticing?

But that wasn't important. What was important was that right now, Zipp was motioning with her hooves toward Sunny. Pipp stared at Zipp with incomprehension, unsure as to what Zipp was trying to tell her. Zipp then raised her eyebrows and motioned her head to Sunny, with a knowing expression on her face. Then Pipp understood. Zipp was telling her sister to go and do what she came here to do. Pipp could practically hear Zipp's words. "Don't chicken out on yourself, Pipp. Grow up and do what you came here to do or you're going to regret it." Hmph, easy for her to say. She wasn't the one who had to do this.

Then Zipp did something that terrified Pipp. She took a step forward, threateningly. Pipp recognized the threat for what it was. If she didn't do it, Zipp would. And she couldn't let Zipp do that. Zipp would just screw it up.

Glaring at Zipp's satisfied smirk, she took a deep breath and turned back around to face Sunny. "Actually, Sunny..." She paused, took a deep breath, and steeled herself. "There's more to it than that..."

"Shoot," Sunny turned around to face Pipp and upon seeing her struggling face, sat down and looked at Pipp with sympathy. "Everything okay, Pipp?"

"Umm..." Pipp paused, really uncertain as to how to say this. Actually, she was uncertain about telling her at all. "You might want to sit down for this..."

Seeing as Sunny was already sitting, Pipp sat on the other side of the counter, across from her. After another deep breath, knowing it was now or never, Pipp launched into something resembling an explanation. "So...uhm...you know...umm..."

What was Pipp doing? She'd never stuttered this much in her life. She's never been at a loss for words. She was Princess Pipp Petals. She live-streamed her life every day, talked to millions across Equestria on social media, and talked with fans multiple times a day. She was better than this. She would do this.

"So...remember when Hitch competed in the Jinxie Games and we followed him because we were worried about our mom because she missed our mother-daughter brunch and...and we found out she was seeing Alphabittle?"

"Yeah, I felt really bad for Hitch. He worked so hard preparing for those games only to lose on every single one of them."

"Yeah, he did, didn't he." Pipp widened her eyes before stumbling on. "A-anyway, remember how uh...Zipp and I reacted. How we weren't happy about it at first but then we realized how...happy mom was and...and with us gone from home how...how alone she felt and...and we didn't...understand how much we...we needed each other. How...wonderful it could be when...when we're all together. When...we're together..." Pipp trailed off.

She thought about how if Sunny hadn't brought them all together, she never would've met Hitch. She couldn't help but think, would she have found somepony else? Or would she have ended up like her mother? Forced into an arranged marriage to keep the familial line going. She didn't want to think about that, but her mother was right. They didn't understand how much they needed each other and if it weren't for Sunny, they probably would've gone the rest of their lives blind to the potential relationships, friendship or otherwise, that could have been forged if they simply put their pride aside and took the first step.

"Pipp?" Sunny asked when Pipp trailed off and didn't say anything else, seeming to be lost in a world of her own. Sunny didn't know what Pipp was trying to tell her, but clearly, it was something important. It was starting to worry Sunny a bit. "Pipp? Is everything okay?"

Pipp looked up at Sunny, looking startled, eyes wide. "W-what?"

"What's wrong? You seem...out of it today."

"I...umm...I'm fine. Um...what...what was I talking about?"

"Well, you asked me how long I knew Hitch. Then you started talking about the Jinxie Games and your mom and Alphabittle and..." Sunny stopped, the mention of Queen Haven and Alphabittle being together forming a memory in her mind. One she almost completely forgot about. A memory from about a year ago. On the day they brought back magic. Sunny's eyes widened in surprise and understanding as her jaw dropped. "Oh. My. Hoofness."

Pipp read the expression on Sunny's face and braced herself for the blow she knew was coming. "Uh-oh."

"Oh my hoofness! Pipp, do you like Hitch?!" Sunny exclaimed, a broad smile on her face.

"Well, I uh...I do care for him I guess...I..." Pipp sighed in resignation. "Yes, I do. But, if you're totally not okay with it, then I'll—" Pipp stopped, not sure how to continue that sentence and not lie to Sunny. She'll what? Stop liking Hitch? She couldn't do that. Not pursue him? She wasn't sure she could do that either. She would certainly try, that's for sure. But, she wasn't sure how long she could keep that up until she couldn't stand it anymore.

Luckily, however, she didn't need to. Sunny was already on her hooves, practically jumping up and down, nearly as energetic as Izzy. "Okay with it?! Of course, I'm okay with it! Oh, my hoofness! Just wait until Hitch finds—" Sunny stopped herself, her whole body suddenly freezing up.

She wanted to tell Pipp so badly. She wanted to tell her everything Hitch told her that day they brought back magic. How he thought he always knew he liked her, but just stopped denying it when he saw she was in danger. For the love of Twilight, she wanted to tell her so badly. But, Hitch confided those things in her under the impression that she'd keep it to herself. It wasn't her place to confess Hitch's feelings towards her. That was something Hitch had to do for himself, even if they were both too scared to say anything, and Sunny knew both of them liked each other. No, Sunny couldn't say anything. She had to slow her roll and let them sort it out themselves.

"I mean..." She finally said, trying to play it off cool. "That's...really amazing. I'm really...happy for you." Ugh, she was so bad at suppressing her emotions.

Pipp read Sunny's reaction, jumping to a different conclusion. "Oh no. I knew it!" Pipp groaned, dropping her head on the counter. "Hitch already likes somepony else. I should've known. I waited too long."

"What? No, he do—"

"It's fine, Sunny. No need to spare my feelings. I'm just the one who waited too long to do something. Ugh, I'm such an idiot! Is it another pegasus? No, don't tell me. I don't wanna know. Just tell me, am I going to see them trotting down the street together, holding hooves? Do I need to prepare myse—"

"He doesn't like anypony, Pipp!" Sunny yelled, panicking, hating how much Pipp was getting herself worked up over nothing.

There was a moment of silence where the sound of a pin drop could be heard. Both mares were frozen in place just staring at each other with wide eyes. As soon as Sunny saw Pipp's widened tear-filled eyes, she knew she screwed up. Royally. Of course, Pipp was freaking out. She thought the stallion she loved was in love with somepony else. She didn't know he already liked her. Only Sunny knew that. Now she basically just admitted that Hitch didn't like anypony, including her. Not in that way at least. She really messed up.

"Wait, Pipp, I—"

"N-no, it's...it's f-fine," Pipp stuttered, her voice shaking and wavering, her bottom lip trembling. "I should've known he...he didn't...like anypony. I mean, Sparky alone takes up over half of his life. And...and whatever time isn't devoted to Sparky is devoted to M-maretime Bay!" Pipp sniffed, trying for a shaky smile and a light chuckle like this was all just some silly misunderstanding.

Tears streamed down her cheeks though, breaking her facade. But Pipp held on to that facade like her life depended on it. "You're right. He...he doesn't have time in his life for...for that kind of...of relationship. I mean, that was stupid of me to think that he had time for...for me of all ponies. I-I mean, I foalsat Sparky. I-I know how much of a hoofful he is." Pipp quickly wiped her tears away, and sniffed, trying to hide how heartbroken she was.

Pipp was surprised by how much her chest ached, knowing now that Hitch didn't like her back. But this was better though, wasn't it? At least now, Pipp didn't have to go confess her feelings to Hitch and make their friendship all awkward. At least now, Hitch didn't have to try and spare her feelings, trying to find the nicest way to tell her that he didn't like that way. Cause, that'd just be the kind of thing he'd do. Because he's just that kind. That's something she loved most about him.

And little Sparky. He somehow made her feel so much better about herself by just putting together some embarrassing video of herself. And he was so cute. And Hitch was such an amazing dragon dad. He really loved Sparky. More than life itself. When Sparky went missing, he searched all over Maretime Bay for him. To be fair, Operation Glitter Bomb was a bit ridiculous, but who was she to judge? When her mother didn't show up for their mother-daughter brunch, she thought her mother had been ponynapped. She even begged Zipp to start an official investigation. If anything, Operation Glitter Bomb just showed how much he cared for Sparky. How he'd do anything for him. That was just how Hitch loved. When he loved somepony, he loved them with his whole heart. He put them first, before himself. Pipp should've done that before she selfishly started spouting out her feelings like an idiot. Hitch always was better than her.

"I uh...I-I got to uh...I gotta go," Pipp sniffed, quickly wiping away the tears with her hoof, trying to grasp any excuse that would get her out of there. "I-I uh...f-forgot...I have...something important I uh...need to get done...s-so I should go and...and do that." Pipp finished, standing up.

"Pipp, please, listen. It's not what you think—"

"Th-thank you for...uh...clearing things up. You s-saved me from acting like a complete f-fool out there, you know?" Pipp chuckled nervously, already starting to walk towards the exit, wiping more tears from her eyes. They wouldn't stop coming. Why wouldn't they stop coming? She needed to get out of there. She was rambling like an idiot and she needed to stop. She needed to get out of there. "I-I'll see you um...later. B-bye!"

Sunny started to run around the counter to chase after Pipp. "Wait! Pipp, stop! Please! Just let me explain!"

But Pipp was already gone, bursting through the doors of the Crystal Brighthouse, taking to the air, tears now flowing down her face uncontrollably, sobbing into her hooves, her heart broken into a million pieces. She was such a fool. Such an idiot. Of course, he didn't like her like that. He never did. And it was stupid to think otherwise.

---

Sunny followed Pipp out of the kitchen, but when she skidded to a halt in the living room to run up the stairs to their shared room, she saw the front doors hanging open. She ran out of the Brighthouse, only to stop a couple of hoofsteps outside the pink doors. Sunny looked up at the sky, but it was void of any pegasi. Pipp was gone, completely heartbroken, and it was all Sunny's fault.

[littleman001]

Oh, boy! Sunny, you really should have picked your words more carefully. I hope the misunderstanding get cleaned up, though I wonder how much drama will come out of it. Will be looking forward to see what happens next. Until then...
