> Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy's day out > by thinko97 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Pinkie's plan! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Ahem!- "It was a wonderful day in Equestria, there were bright blue skies, birds were singing, everything was awesome... But everyone was busy, and they couldn't hang out with me today. So I became a friend in need. But who would come to my rescue in my time of need? I needed to be entertaining ponies, and I needed to do it now! But, Twilight was studying this new form of magic she had been studying for days now, and she couldn't take a break being VEEEEEERY busy. AJ had more apple bucking to do than normal, Rarity was making a lot of dresses for a HUUUUGE order that had been put in, and Dashie had to do a lot of nothing! So I had no one to hang out with." -Well, um... What about Fluttershy?- "Huh?" -What about Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, she's your friend too, is she not?- Pinkie lets out a loud gasp as she realises,"OH MY GOODNESS HOW COULD I FORGET FLUTTERSHY?!" Pinkie exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, thank you so much, Mr... Uh..." Narrator will do... "Thank you so much, Mr. Narrator!" Pinkie says as she hopped on over to Fluttershy's. Now Fluttershy was doing her usual... Uh... animal caring when she saw Pinkie Pie hopping towards her. She has a small smile on her face as she waves to Pinkie Pie, her hooves leading her in the direction of Pinkie. "Hello, Pinkie, what are you doing here today?" She asks, her soft voice catching Pinkie's ears. "I am here, because I'm a friend in a desperately dire -- awful situation!" Fluttershy gasped softly, "Oh no, what happened Pinkie? It must be really, really bad if you're coming to me and not the others for help..." Her soft voice trails off, but concern can be heard in her voice. "Oh, it is, Fluttershy! Everyone is busy and I have no one to entertain~" Pinkie wailed. "O-oh... Is that all?" Fluttershy replied, one of her forehooves lightly scraping the ground. "IS THAT ALL?!" Pinkie shrieked, holding Fluttershy by her shoulders. She looks into Fluttershy's eyes and says, "Fluttershy, this is the worst possible thing that could happen to me, because, if I'm not entertaining people, then what is the point in my destiny?! What is the point in my cutie mark?!" "Well... Umm... Just because you don't do something for one day, doesn't alter the fact that, that IS your destiny, it just means that you... Well... Don't do it for one day, nothing bad is going to happen or anything..." "But what if something bad does happen?!" "Well... Uh... I don't know..." "Exactly! Now come on! I have a plan!" "Oh... What does your plan involve?" Her eyes widen as a feint amount of concern for them both appears. "It involves us, being together..." Pinkie's voice dropped to a somewhat loud whisper, "For the entire day." Fluttershy's eyes widened even more seeing as they have never been together for an entire day without others being around, "Uh, are you sure you want to spend the day with me? I'm not sure how that will go..." "Hehehe, come on, Fluttershy, it'll be fun!" Pinkie's smile gleamed as she nudged Fluttershy to join her. "Oh... Um... Ok, then..." She gulps nervously. "WOOHOOO!!!!" Pinkie responded, as she jumped, filled with happiness as her cotton candy mane became even more fluffy, herself not noticing Fluttershy's gulp. Fluttershy winced a bit, but she was happy nevertheless. "Hehehe, let's get packed, I'll see you back here, okay, Fluttershy!" "Ok then, I'll see you then.." Fluttershy responded, but by then Pinkie had already made it back to her house getting ready to pack. "Hmmm, I need to get packing now, don't I... And I need to tell the animals that I'll be going," Fluttershy said to herself as she begins to pack, several of her animals helping her. > Packing time! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hmmm... To pack this super adventurous hat or not... Hmm... Decisions, decisions." ***Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acres*** "Has anyone seen my hat anywhere?" said Applejack, slightly confused as to where it would be. "Nnnope," responded Big Macintosh "Darn it! Oh well, I have to get these apples bucked before sundown... The only thing the hat can wait for." ***Back at Pinkie Pie's place*** "Hmm, I still can't decide whether or not I want to pack this super adventurous hat or not... But I do need to pack other things," she said to herself as she glanced around the room. "I wasn't talking to myself, thank you very much!" Well, then... Uh... Who were you talking to..? "You! Of course, I mean, there's no one else around, silly!" - Oh... Of... Course... You were talking to me... Who else... Haha... Ha...ha. Well... Anyway... I think you should pack some candy treats, there, Pinkie... But not all sweet treats... You need to have something nutritious, don't you think? "Yea, I guess you're right, I'll get some apples from Applejack after I've finished packing." Pinkie began to hum merrily, however, no one was sure if she was humming to herself or to the Na... Uh... Me... ***At Fluttershy's cottage*** Fluttershy was humming softly to herself as she looked around her cottage. "Oh, what to pack, this is going to be such an interesting day, the entire day with Pinkie, I'm sure it's going to be lots of fun! *squee*" Fluttershy said to herself as she packed her saddle bags. The familiar tapping of Angel's impatient foot began to echo across the room. "Oh, hello, Angel, I'm going to be away for the day. Oh, please, please don't be mad." The tapping grew much louder. "I'll fluff your tail 5 times next week." The tapping stopped. Angel jumped into Fluttershy's mane and snuggled close, finally pleased. "Hehe, I knew you'd like that. Now, I'm going to tell the others, then I'm going to continue packing," Fluttershy said softly to Angel as she kept packing. Once she had told the other critters, she went back to packing her saddle bags. "Oh, what to pack, I need to pack some healthy food, I don't think Pinkie will pack anything too nutritious." She giggled to herself. "I think I might pack some carrots and some lettuce leaves, oh and some tomatoes!" ***Meanwhile at Pinkie's*** "Adventurous hat... Or not adventurous hat... Hm......." ***Back at Fluttershy's cottage*** "Okay! I'm all packed and ready to go!.. Now I have to wait for Pinkie," Fluttershy said to herself. "Actually, where is she? She should've been here ages ago... Knowing how hyper she is, at least... I hope nothing went wrong," said Fluttershy in a worried tone. "I'm probably just being paranoid..." Fluttershy admitted to herself. ***Back at Pinkie's house*** "Ok! So I have my adventurous hat on, and now to go to finish packing, but the only thing I have left to pack is some apples!" said Pinkie as she hopped on over to Applejacks. "AJ~!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she was coming down the road to Applejack's. "What? Pinkie is here?" Applejack was confused but went out to see her. However, when she saw her, she wasn't at all impressed. "AJ, is it ok if I--" "Pinkie, what on earth are you doin' with my hat?!" Applejack said as she cut Pinkie off. "Oooooh, this is your hat... Sorry, AJ," Pinkie replied. Applejack sighed and took back her hat. "What are ye' here for, Pinkie?" "Well, I was hoping to get some apples!" "Well, I guess that's not a problem. Here, have these freshly bucked not longer than a minute ago, heheh, now, go on, head off now, I still got a lo-o-o-ot of work to do!" Applejack responded. "Thanks AJ!" Pinkie responded as she hopped on over to Fluttershy's cottage, merrily humming. "Oh, boy, I'm so excited to go on this adventure with Fluttershy!" Pinkie said with glee. As Fluttershy had been waiting for a while she started to get a bit more worried, until she saw Pinkie Pie hopping over the hills. "Hello Fluttershy!" she yelled as she kept bobbing her way toward her front door. "Oh, hello, Pinkie, I was getting worried that you were taking so long, but you're here now, so it's fine." "Are you excited as I am for this adventure!? I am, I'm really, really excited. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Spending an entire day adventuring with one of my bestest friends! It's going to be so great, don't you think so as well, Fluttershy?" "Oh, well, I guess it will be exciting, especially if it's with you, Pinkie," Fluttershy replied. "I KNOW, RIGHT?!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie. "I guess it's time to get going now, so let's go!" "Hang on, I want to know what you packed for the adventure!" Fluttershy said, more excited than usual "Oh, okay! Well let's see, I packed cotton candy, cupcakes, lollies, apples, AND my adventurous hat!" Pinkie Pie said as she pointed to her head. "Um... Pinkie... You're not wearing a hat at the moment." Fluttershy responded, slightly confused Pinkie gasped. "OH, NO!! WHERE DID IT GO?! THIS IS A CATASTROPHE, IF I CAN'T FIND THE HAT, HOW CAN WE GO ON THIS ADVENTUROUS ADVENTURE TOGETHER?!" she exclaimed in absolute horror. "Well, we can always buy you an adventurous hat. I mean, we don't need to go right now," Fluttershy reassured to Pinkie "Okay, then! Let's go to the town and buy me a hat!" Pinkie said, relieved. "Then after that, let's go on this adventure!" Fluttershy said, with excitement. "Yeah!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. As they got into the town Pinkie saw just the hat she wanted and ran straight for it. It was in a shop and the price tag said 5 bits. Pinkie Pie galloped straight over to the stand, threw 5 bits to the shop owner, took the hat, the galloped straight back to Fluttershy. "Ok! Let's go!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Where's the first part of our adventure going to be?" Fluttershy asked. "Right there!" Pinkie exclaimed as she pointed to the entrance of the Everfree forest. Fluttershy's eyes grew much bigger. "Oh... Um... I don't know, Pinkie... It's really scary in there..." Fluttershy said, now with a bit of fear and regret in her voice. "Have no fear my friend, I'm here to save the day with my adventurous hat and adventurous spirit. Let us be off!" she said in a loud, proud voice as she galloped into the Everfree forest. "Wait for me!" Fluttershy said as she followed Pinkie Pie. > The ever free forest~ > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Why are we starting our adventure in here, Pinkie?... It's so scary... And unnatural... I hate it," Fluttershy said to Pinkie Pie, with a little bit of fear in her voice. "Because, Fluttershy! The Everfree forest is the least explored place in all of Equestria! Who knows, we might discover something new!" "I sure hope not... Not in here, at least..." Fluttershy whispered to herself as she trod closely behind Pinkie Pie. They continued deeper into the Everfree forest, past the poison-joke, which they avoided, and past Zecora's place, and still continued. Then, Pinkie stopped suddenly, taking in a very large inhale as she was looking through her saddle bag. "Wh-what is it, Pinkie?" Fluttershy stuttered. "I can't find my investigator's magnifying glass!" Pinkie responded. "And without that, how am I going to find any small and adorable creatures?!" she continued. "Oh no, that is bad." Fluttershy responded. "I know, right?! Now I just have to look extra, extra carefully... Aw~ man~." Pinkie whined. "Oh, look at this little guy!" said Fluttershy as she pointed at a tiny little creature. It looked similar to a parasprite, but didn't have wings, and didn't multiply like a parasprite would. "Can we take him on our trip? Please?~" Fluttershy asked. "Of course we can!" Pinkie responded, excited about their new companion. As they continued deeper into the Everfree forest, Fluttershy became more and more uncomfortable, feeling as if something bad was going to happen, partly because Pinkie Pie's Pinkie sense kept going off, but nothing would happen. It seemed very suspicious to her as she kept walking behind her. "Hey Pinkie," Fluttershy called, "what do you think we should call this little guy?" Fluttershy asked, trying to get her mind off of the horrors of the Everfree forest... Which... Were... Nonexistent at this moment... "Hmmm, I think we should name him~~ Bob!" Pinkie responded. "Hmm, Bob seems to be a good name." Then she turned to the parasprite-like creature. "Do you like the name Bob?" It jumped up and down with a smile directed at Fluttershy. "Ok, then your name from now on shall be Bob." "Yay~ I named something new~! Hahaha hehehe!" Pinkie beamed. Pinkie was watching everything closely, to see if she could find anything as adorable as what Fluttershy had found. "Aw~ I can't find anything without my magnifying glass," Pinkie moaned "Sure you can, Pinkie, you just have to look harder, not closer," Fluttershy responded. Pinkie took yet another extremely large inhale. "I know what you mean!" she said, with the expression of sudden realization on her face. So then, they continued their rather... Peaceful 'adventure' through the Everfree forest. Then they finally came to a problem: a fork in the road. Pinkie had a way to go in no time at all thanks to her Pinkie sense, though... Still have no idea how that works -- "ME NEITHER!! Hehe!" - AHH!.. Um Pinkie, stop breaking the fourth wall like that, it's making Fluttershy think you're more insane than everypony else thinks you are... Silly! "Yeah, I guess you're right, when ponies see me talking to you, they think I'm talking to someone who isn't there... And then I remember that I'm the only one who can see and talk to you, I'm forgetful like that.." She squee'd, which was something only Fluttershy was supposed to do. Try to maintain how much you talk to me and focus on talking to who ever is with you at the time. "Yeah, I guess you're right again, I'll stop talking to you for now." "Um... Pinkie... Who are you talking to? You're scaring me... Has the Everfree forest made you insane?" Fluttershy began to panic. "Hehe, no, silly! I think I just need something to eat. Come on, let's have a picnic!" "In the middle of the Everfree forest? Oh... I don't know about that, Pinkie... Would that be wise?" "Of course it would be! I have my picnic basket and everything!" "You never told me you packed a picnic basket back at the cottage..." "Didn't I? Hehe, sorry, Fluttershy, I guess I was too carried away in having my hat of adventurous adventures!" "Yeah... I guess you were," Fluttershy responded. As time passed and they enjoyed their snack time they continued on their exploration of the 'not-so-scary Everfree forest', as Pinkie decided to call it. But, as they got to the other side of the Everfree forest, the inevitable happened: they bumped into something scary, and this something scary was huge, and very mean looking, for it was a giant manticore! Fluttershy gasped. "Oh no, I knew that this would happen," said Fluttershy as she began to whimper behind her tail "You knew this would happen? Why didn't you tell the rest of us?!" Pinkie paused for a moment, then laughed. "Ha! How are you supposed to face your fears like that, my dear friend Fluttershy?" Pinkie responded as she cleverly eluded the giant manticore's claws. "See how slow he is? Come on now, quick, Fluttershy!" "O-okay." She closed her eyes and used her wings to fly past the manticore while Pinkie Pie distracted it, making it look the other way, then bobbed on over to Fluttershy who was already near the exit of the Everfree forest, and she was not stopping. "H-hey, Fluttershy, slow down, you're going to miss the pretty exit of the Everfree forest!" Pinkie exclaimed. As Fluttershy opened her eyes again, to see the manticore behind them and the beautiful scenery in front of them, she put her hooves back on the ground and proceeded to walk and take in the beautiful sights, which they had not seen for a very long while of being in the Everfree forest... But then... What was this place? > Bright, beautiful, but unknown and undiscovered? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wow! What is this place?" asked Pinkie as she glanced around the new forest. "I-it's so pretty," said Fluttershy. "Who would have thought something so pretty would be behind the Everfree forest!" she then exclaimed. "I know, right!" Pinkie responded, "and we're the ones who discovered it! See! I told you adventuring through the Everfree forest would be good!" "Well... Um... No, you didn't..." Fluttershy responded. "Didn't I? Hehehe, woopsy!" Pinkie said, somewhat apologetically. Her tone brightened as she exclaimed, "Oh, wow, just look at all these pretty rocks and leaves, Fluttershy!" "Oh wow, they are so pretty, Pinkie Pie!.. But, just look, this entire place is different, like, all the scenery, I mean. Like, just look at it, it's all equally as unique and pretty!" Fluttershy exclaimed, very excited about the new change of scenery. As they continued to explore this sudden change in scenery Fluttershy saw something unusual. "I... Is that a house?" Fluttershy said as she squinted. "Huh?" Pinkie replied as she looked up at Fluttershy, dropping the rocks she had been playing with. "Over there... Is that a house?" She pointed in the direction she was looking as Pinkie Pie looked across. "Oh yeah~ it does look like a house, but I don't think anyone would be out here... Would they?" Pinkie looked over at the house with a somewhat confused expression on her face. "Well, it can't hurt to go check it out!" Pinkie exclaimed as she took the hat off her head to put it back on her head with a determined expression on her face to make for a cool, close up facial shot. "O-oh, are you sure Pinkie? What if there's something scary there?..." Fluttershy whimpered. "Well, the more 'scary~' things, the more adventure, right?!" Pinkie Pie beamed as she proceeded to hop over to the house. As they got to the house, they did what any normal pony would do, and knocked on the door. "Hello~~." Pinkie drawled as she put her hoof on the handle, "is any pony in there~?" Without waiting for a reply, Pinkie then opened the door. "Oh... Um... Pinkie... Are you sure if someone is in there... That they would know how to react to other ponies? You know... After being out here for so long... I think as we were walking up I saw plants starting to grow out toward the hou-" Fluttershy was cut off by a very loud inhale from the ever excitable Pinkie. "Wh-what is it?!" Fluttershy said in a panicked tone "Nothing!" Pinkie said with a big smile on her face "Hehehehehehe, you should see the look on your face, Fluttershy! Priceless! Hehehehe hahahaha." Pinkie Pie continued. Fluttershy was just relieved that nothing bad happened. "Well, let's go in then!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Oh... Ok." Fluttershy said as she followed behind Pinkie. As they explored the inside of the building, they came to discover that it was deserted, there was absolutely nothing inside except for some furniture around the house that was growing flora on it. So, they left. They left the building and continued discovering the new, colorful landscape when something came to the attention of Fluttershy. "Don't you find it weird, Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy asked. "Find what weird?" Pinkie said, with a puzzled expression on her face from the random question. "That there are no animals in this beautiful oasis?" Fluttershy responded. "Oh yea~ I guess there are no animals..." Pinkie came to realize. "Why do you think that there are no animals?" Fluttershy continued to ask. "Well... Maybe... Because of the Everfree forest being just outside of this forest, and who knows, maybe it surrounds this entire oasis and we're about to be eaten by a big scary monster waiting outside here because it's too pretty in here and maybe that same monster eats any other animals that come in here... -large gasp- maybe it's that giant manticore that eats all the animals before they can get into here!" Pinkie said with incredible speed... Like she does normally when she's overreacting to something, and making Fluttershy more frightened "HEY! I do not overreact!" Pinkie! Other ponies are around! "Oh... Right... Sorry..." Her mouth clamped shut. Pinkie looked over at Fluttershy to see that she was on the verge of hyperventilating and flying off, she squee'd once more and said, "Heh heh... Sorry, Fluttershy... I'm sure nothing bad will happen... Bu--... Never mind." Pinkie managed to stop herself from saying anymore. "So, let's keep exploring this colorful place! I mean, all we've found so far is an abandoned house and a colorful everything... But surely there is something else out here." Pinkie Pie stated. "Yeah, you're right... Let's keep exploring, then." Fluttershy said, after calming herself down. After a while longer of exploring, Fluttershy noticed something wasn't quite right, so she decided to try and check her mane, but Bob wasn't in there. She began to panic and looked everywhere else on her body. "Bob! Where are you?" Fluttershy called out. "What's that, Fluttershy?" Responded Pinkie Pie from a distance "I can't find Bob!" Fluttershy responded distraughtly. "OH NO!!" Pinkie Pie gasped "I know, we have to look for him," Fluttershy responded, trying to keep her cool, even though she was going crazy. "I mean, he's all alone... And we don't even know where we are as it is! It would be just awful if something happened to him!" Fluttershy continued. "Hmmmm..." Pinkie Pie began to ponder. "It seems our first problem with our adventure has arisen! Time to search and destroy!" Pinkie excl... Wait... Don't you me- "Wha- WHAT?!" Fluttershy shrieked "What?"... Pinkie, don't you mean search and rescue? "Search and destroy? We want to save Bob!" Fluttershy's eyes widened at the thought of 'destroying' Bob. "Oooooh, right... Sorry Fluttershy... I meant search and rescue... Hehehe, hahaha." Pinkie Pie giggled. > Find Bob! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What is our mission!?" Pinkie yells to herself, like she is an army sergeant, as she then quickly quickly moves slightly to the left to answer her own question, "To find Bob sir!" She then moves back to the right and asks herself yet another question "and what will we do once we find Bob?" She glares for a bit, before realising she needs to answer her own question so she moves again, "We will return him to Fluttershy, sir!" Fluttershy looks on, confused as to what Pinkie Pie is doing, but just waiting for Pinkie Pie to finish her... Drill sergeant orders... To herself, before she feels like she can begin searching, knowing Pinkie Pie will be focused. "Ok! Let's go find Bob then Fluttershy! I'm going to loo-" her voice trails off as something catches her eye, "ooooooohhhh." She gazes at this beautiful object as it flies in the wind, Pinkie starts to follow it, only to lose sight of it once Fluttershy turns her around. "Please Pinkie Pie... Try to focus on what we want to do..." Fluttershy said, trying not to sound like she's ordering Pinkie around "Mhm, sorry Fluttershy, I'll look over there!" Her hoof points off near the everfree forest entrance, where she saw the beautiful object fly past. "Oh, okay, I'll look near the house then." Fluttershy responded as they both went in their separate directions and started searching. "Psst." Pinkie Pi... Wait... You're talking to me again aren't you... "Of course I am! Now, where did Bob go?" - To be honest pinkie, I don't have a clue. "Awwww~" Pinkie wailed. "You're no help!" -- And you're not supposed to be interacting with me... -ahem- anyway... Pinkie Pie was searching fervently for where Bob could have possibly have jumped off, she watched her step to be sure she didn't step on him by accident. "Bob~ where are~ you~?" Pinkie drawled in a quiet tone, not expecting a response, but more of a rustle, then she remembered how small he was and so she put her face really close to the dirt, thinking that would help her cause. ***Meanwhile, back at the house Fluttershy was checking*** -knock knock knock- "H-hello... Again... If anyone is in here now... Ummm... I just want to check inside your house to try and find a little critter I lost... That's... Um... If it's ok with you." Fluttershy said into the abandoned house. There was no response so Fluttershy opened the door and walked in. As she began her search, she started with around the door, because of how small he was, he could be around the door somewhere, but searching around the door proved to be fruitless. After that she proceeded to look around the house, near the flora covered furniture -- being sure to check every crevice Bob could have possibly disappeared to. "Oh no, he doesn't seem to be anywhere around here." Fluttershy said to herself, after searching every possible place she could think of inside the house. ***Meanwhile near the entrance of the everfree forest -- where Pinkie Pie was searching*** "Hmmm, I wonder why that giant manticore didn't follow us in here..." Pinkie wondered to herself, "Ah, who cares, I need to look for Bob! For Fluttershy!" Pinkie continued. "Bob~ where are you~." Pinkie drawled, not expecting a response, but more of a rustle. After a while of searching, Pinkie became distracted. The same beautiful object that caught her eye earlier was now flying around again! "Hehehe! I'm going to get it now!" Pinkie said, with a determined expression on her face. The object had many colours, so it caught Pinkie's attention quickly, and it was flying around, giving Pinkie Pie a challenge as to how she would catch it. She started following, jumping as high as she could to try and grab it, but being cautious as not to crush it with her hooves. "Aw~ this just isn't working! If I try to grab it, I might end up crushing it, and that'll be no good. I could go get Fluttershy, but then I'd probably lose it again..." She stopped talking to herself because she was running out of breathe trying to keep up with the flying object as it was, and it wasn't helping that she was talking to herself while she was at it. After a while it started to slow down "Gotcha!" Pinkie said to herself as she jumped up and cupped the small flying object, landing flat on her stomach while she was at it, but making sure she didn't crush it. She slowly un-cupped her hooves from around the object, being cautious as to not let it fly again, and -- what are the chances -- it looked exactly like Bob did... Sort of... But more colors... and wings... It looked like a rainbow parasprite... But when Pinkie saw it, her eyes lit up! "I FOUND BOB!" She yelled. "I FOUND HIM~ I FOUND HIM~." She kept yelling at the top of her lungs. When Fluttershy saw Pinkie jumping and heard her screaming, she knew it had to be good news, she flew straight over, "Did you find Bob!?" Fluttershy exclaimed excitedly "YEP!" Pinkie yelled back in reply, through her sheer excitability of that time. "That's great! Can i see him?" Fluttershy asked "Of course!" Pinkie replied, slowly un-cupping her hooves. When Fluttershy saw the small creature, she didn't think it was Bob, she was quite sad actually "... Pinkie... This isn't Bob..." Fluttershy said, softly scraping the ground with her right forehoof, looking slightly upset. "Yes it is! I mean look at him! He's just as small as Bob was, but he has wings now!" Just as Pinkie said that, the creature looked up at Fluttershy and flew straight to her, and snuggled inside her mane again. "... I still don't think it's Bob... but he is adorable..." Fluttershy admitted. "But he is Bob! See! He's snuggling in your mane just like Bob did." Pinkie Pie looked confused, and felt a bit down, as if her efforts to find Bob had been trodden on. "Oh... I-I'm sorry Pinkie..." Fluttershy said, as she looked in her mane again at the small creature, "You know what, he really is like Bob, I'm sorry Pinkie, maybe that's why he went away, to get these wings and new colors!" Fluttershy tried to say, as excited as possible to make Pinkie happy again. Her efforts payed off, as Pinkie returned a massive grin and said "See! I told you Fluttershy!" As Pinkie Pie was hopping up and down with joy, Fluttershy kept looking at the small creature, still unsure as to if it was Bob. Fluttershy now looked up to the sky, the sun started going down, and Pinkie was wrapped up in joy of exploring, but Fluttershy felt like they should get going home. "Um... Pinkie... I think we should start going home now... It's getting dark..." Fluttershy shudders, "when it gets dark... The everfree forest gets... Weird...er." Fluttershy manages to say. "Aw~... Fine~." Pinkie drawled in weak protest and started to follow Fluttershy, before realising she could be the lead explorer and then jumped in front of Fluttershy and said "If we're going home, I'm going to make the discoveries!" Pinkie Pie said, playfully eyeing off Fluttershy. > The un eventful trip home! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Bop-pity boo, bip-pity baa." Pinkie Pie was humming as she hopped along back to the entrance of the everfree forest, Fluttershy trailing behind. "Hurry up Fluttershy!" Pinkie yelled back to Fluttershy. "Ok..." Fluttershy said as she sped up a little bit and started catching up to Pinkie Pie. "Is there any other way we can go around the everfree forest?" Fluttershy asked Pinkie, still terrified of the everfree forest. "Nope!" Pinkie Pie responded. Fluttershy's forehoof softly scraped the ground. "Ok..." Fluttershy responded. They entered the everfree forest and Pinkie Pie took a look around for the giant manticore that was guarding the entrance earlier. "Coast is clear." Pinkie said in what would be defined as a -- loud whisper. They continued through the everfree forest, Pinkie Pie searching everywhere she could possibly find a small and adorable creature. "Aw~... Why do you get all the small and adorable creatures." Pinkie whined. Fluttershy was too terrified of air to respond. They kept continuing through the everfree forest, and Zecora's hut had now come into sight. Bob started buzzing inside Fluttershy's mane. She looked at Bob in her mane and asked, "what's the matter Bob?" Fluttershy asked. He buzzed some more then flew out of her mane and started flying around rapidly. Fluttershy looked worried, "Um... B-Bob... What are you doing?" He continued to fly around, "What are you doing Bob?" Pinkie Pie asked as she started jumping around trying to keep up with Bob. Bob continued to fly around until Fluttershy noticed it was leaving trails as to where it was flying. Then Bob finally finished the flying and then flew off. The trail he left... Was confusing... As Pinkie was in his way while was flying. But it looked something similar to "goodbye." Fluttershy smiled as she realised then looked to Pinkie jumping around and burst out in laughter, she then continued to walk past Pinkie Pie as she followed. -ahem- "We exited the everfree forest and Fluttershy went straight home to sleep, seeing as it was quite dark. Then everypony started coming asking me what I wanted them for. First, Twilight came up to me, "So... Pinkie Pie... What did you want me for earlier?" She asked, and I replied "I wanted to party with you! But you were busy, so I hung out with Fluttershy!" "Oh, oka--... Waiiit... Fluttershy? Of all ponies?" She asked... She looked reeeeeaaaalllyy confused though... So I responded "Yep! She was a lot of fun! We found this tiny little guy we named Bob! And we also found this really~ really~ pretty oasis behind the everfree forest! then we lost Bob! Then we had to look for him! Then we found him and he had wings! Then it started getting dark and we started going home! Then Bob started flying around all of a sudden! Then he flew off... And that was our day!" Twilight looked stunned, then she said, "I'm glad you two had fun!" Then, Rarity came up to me! "Pinkie Pie, what did you need me for?" She asked, but I was out of breathe from telling Twilight everything I did! I was in a dilemma! Again! So I had to be innovative! "Ask... Twilight..." I said, puffing. "O... Ohkay..." Rarity said looking weird as she walked off. Then Dashie came up and asked the same question, the same time AJ came! But AJ came to ask a different question. "How did you get my hat Pinkie Pie?" AJ asked me. "It was in my house? Why?" I asked "Really? It was in your house?.. Wonder how it got there." She asked herself as she trotted off. Dashie looked at me for a while and then said, "I forgot what I wanted to ask you." She said as she flew back to the cloud she was doing nothing on. Then I trotted back off home." Pinkie narrated as she fell asleep. Goodnight Pinkie ***Fin***
