> Pipsqueak's Twilight Time > by MetalBrony823 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > I'm sorry, Twilight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a fine, and sunny morning in Povyville. It was saturday, and Every child was home from school. Every-pony in Povyville was at their happiest as usual, well every-pony that is, except the foal called Pipsqueak. He just woke up from his bed with a soft yawn, but he looked down from the bed and onto the floor. He was wearing his green, one-piece pajamas, and had his hair in a shaggy position from the way that he was sleeping during the night. He was feeling so guilty after interloping with Princess Twilight, and felt like he was a bad foal for that, because he didn't really learn anything during the Cutie Mark Crusaders "Twilight Time." "What did I just do, yesterday?" he said sadly. "I should have done that. I even almost got Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo in trouble because of me." He then began to shed a tear from his right eye, and slowly got out of bed. He took his one-pieced pajamas off, and sadly went downstairs, with his head bowing down in shame. "Oh, Pipsqueak. There you are." said his mother "Cassandra" "Hi mom." said Pip in a sad tone. His mother noticed his voice and said "What's wrong?" in a comforting voice Pip then looked at his mother with a tear coming down his face. "N...nothing." He said His mother convinced on the other hand. "Are you sure?" she asked softly "Yes, mum." Pip lied, and then looked forward. His mother was still unconvinced that he was "Fine" but she just said to him "Alright. Just making sure." "I know." Pip replied "If you need me, I will be in Ponyville for a little walk." "What about breakfast?" asked Cassandra. "I don't want anything." said Pip, still not facing his mother. "If dad asks me where I am when he comes back inside from the backyard, tell him that I am out for a little walk, Is that okay with you, mum?" "Sure thing, sweetie." said Cassandra softly. Pipsqueak then exited the door, and went outside, and contitnued his sorry "He was walking through time square, and saw an alleyway and decided to go into it. He saw that there was no one in the alley, and decided to go a little further, so no one can see him sob in sorrow. Pipsqueak then sat down in the middle of the alley, in front of a dumpster, and he just covered his face with his arms and began to cry. "What's wrong with me?" he said to himself while sobbing. "Why did I get the Cutie Mark Crusaders in trouble? Why did I just listen to Diamond Tiara?" He then thought of Twilight Sparkle and how upset she was with the crusaders, and him. "I'm so sorry, Princess Twilight." he said out loud to the sky. "I'm so sorry." his lipes quivered, and he just continued to to cry in his wallowing, and it passed for ten long minutes. But fortunately, Pipsqueak didn't notice some friends of his. Scootaloo was driving his scooter with Applebloom, and Sweetie belle on the wagon being pulled by the scooter. "So what do you think we should do now guys?" asked Scootaloo, who was very eager to get her cutie mark. A cutie mark to be exact. "I was thinking." said Applebloom. "How about Cutie mark crusader water purifiers'?" They all had smiled of excitement on their faces, and decided to have a cutie mark for water purifiers. "Great!" Sweetie exclaimed with a squeak of excitement. She then thought of something and said "What would a cutie mark for water purifier look like anyway?" "No Idea, but there's only one way to find out." said Scootaloo "Cutie mark crusader water purifiers, YAY!!" they exclaimed, unfortunately, Scootaloo stopped and saw Pipsqueak sobbing in the alleyway. "What is it Scoot?" said Sweetie Belle "I see someone in the alleyway." said Scootaloo. "It looks like.....Pipsqueak!" she said, recognizing the young colt. "Pipsqueak?" exclaimed Sweetie and Applebloom in surprise, while mushing their heads against Scootaloo at opposites sides of her head "What's he doing" asked Applebloom "It looks like he's....crying." said Sweetie Belle. "What do you think's wrong with him?" asked Scootaloo with concern "Don't know." said Applebloom. "Let's see what's going on." the three fillies nodded their heads in agreement, Scootaloo took off her helmet, put it on the head of her scooter, and the tree fillies went into the alleyway to check on Pip. Pip then stopped his sobbing and heard the sound of light hoof-steps, that were getting louder and louder every second. The crusaders then stopped and sat down with Pip with Scootaloo in front of him and with Sweetie Belle and Applebloom by his side. "What's wrong, Pip?" asked Sweetie in a very comforting voice. Pip looked up with tears streaming down his cheeks and saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders with worried looks and their faces, including Scootaloo. "Nothing, nothing." said Pipsqueak wiping his tears from his cheeks and his eyes. The girls, like Cassandra, weren't convinced and knew that he was lying. "Come on, buddy." Said Scootaloo softly. "You can tell us anything, and we just want you to feel happy." "Yeah, Pip." we just want to help you. Pip sniveled and said "You really mean that?" "Of course." said the crusaders comfortingly. Pip then gave out a reluctant sigh and said "Alright. If you must know. I'll tell you." The crusaders then stretched their necks to hear what was troubling Pip. "Remember what happened yesterday?" Said PIpsqueak "Wait, wait, wait." Scootaloo interrupted. You mean 'Twilight Time'?" Piosqueak sadly nod his head and said "Y...yes. I got you in trouble, and I feel terrible and the worst colt ever for doing that! So if you hate me then I understand. Go ahead, tease me, call me names, do anything you want to me." The colt then began to sob a little louder, and covered his face in between his legs. The girls were all surprised to hear about this, but without Pip noticing, scootaloo sat next to Pip and wrapped her arm around his shoulders. "Oh pip." Said Scootaloo in he softest voice that she can do. "We're not mad at you." Applebloom then sat in from of Pipsqueak and said "Yeah Pip, we don't hate you at all." "Yeah Pip." Said Sweetie Belle. "We know you wouldn't mean to get us in trouble. It wasn't your fault." "Yeah it was all the snob Diamon Tiara's fault. She was the one that took her 'Twilight Time' to far." Said Applebloom. "We're sorry if you feel this way." Said Scootaloo softly. "Is there anything we can give you? like... A treat from Sugarcube Corner." Sweetie Belle suggested. Pip nodded a "No" "A game of tag?" Said Applebloom Once again, Pip nodded a "No" "Would you like to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Said Scootaloo "No." Said Pip. "I don't need anything." "Are you sure, buddy?" said Scootaloo. "Yeah, we just wan to help." said Sweetie Belle "Just name the terms and we'll give them to you." said Applebloom. "I promise you guys, I'm fine." he then go up, wiped a few tears from his eyes and walked away from the three fillies, but was stopped with a hoof on his shoulder. It was Sweetie Belle. "Do you at least want to talk about anything?" she said. "No. I just need some time alone." Pip replied "Alright." said the crusaders in unison. "But if you want to talk to us, we'll be at the clubhouse." said Scootaloo "I know, I know." said Pipsqueak, a little annoyed. Pip walked away, out of the alley, with the Crusaders walking away in a different direction, with Scootaloo driving away on her scooter, with the Sweetie Belle and Applebloom behind her in the wagon. After Pip left the alley, he found another one, and decided to wallow in anguish inside this one. He went into the middle of the alley and began to cry again when suddenly he heard a soft, familiar voice "Shh...no need to cry Pip." said the voice, softly. Pip stopped his sobbing, and looked up to see his favorite Princess, Luna, also with a look of concern on her face. "Princess Luna?" he said with a mild smile on his face. "Yes, little Pip." said Luna. "I am here." "I...I'm happy that you are here, but...shouldn't you be in Canterlot doing royal princess stuff right now?" said Pip. "Well. I saw you're nightmare last night, and it was about Twilight. You haven't noticed, but I was watching you the whole time." "What did you see?" asked Pip, a little mad about his privacy being invaded. "That she banished you from Equestria and into the pits of Tartarus." said Luna "Oh..." said Pip. "That." "So please, tell me. What's the matter?" she asked softly while sitting down in front of him to look at her face "well...you see.... I did something very wrong." said Pip. "I...I....I took advantage of the Cutie Mark Crusaders 'Twilight Time' I was supposed to come to her house and learn something, but...I didn't really come here to learn, I just came to hang out with a famous princess like her. It was the Crusaders idea, and...I got them in trouble for that." Pip then looked away from Luna and just sobbed. "I'm a bad colt." he sniveled. Luna had of look of sadness on her face, but she gently out a hoof on the colts back. "You are not a bad colt." said Luna in a comforting voice. "You just made a bad decision. That's all." She then pulled Pip into a caring hug, and Pip just stopped his crying all of a sudden "You...you really mean that?" said Pip, looking above to Luna's face. "Of course I do, dear." said Luna soothingly. "I know you, and I've seen what you're like, and I see that you are one of the nicest colts I've ever met." "I...I don't know about that, Princess Luna." he sniveled. "Shh...It's okay. No need to cry." said Luna in a comforting voice. "I'm telling you the truth." "I know, I know." said "I just wished that Twilight would see how sorry I am. She probably hates me." he said "Shh. She doesn't hate you." said Luna softly. "I've known her for quite some time, and She is a very forgiving mare, and i'm pretty sure she would forgive you if you say that you were sorry." "You mean that, I should just apologize?" asked Pip "Yes." Luna replied. "Go to her. And tell her that your sorry." Pipsqueak then had a thought, that somethimes, "Sorry" can be the magic word of solution sometimes. He then had a proud look on his face. "You know what, your right, princess." But then he thought of Spike, Twilight's assistant, Spike. A frown formed on his face. Luna saw his frown and asked "What's wrong, Pip? "What about Spike? Her assistant? What if he doesn't let me in the library" said Pip Luna formed a warm smile and said "Don't worry about Spike. He is a very forgiving baby dragon as well. I'm pretty sure he'll accept you in the library." "Are you sure?" asked the colt. "Of course." said Luna "Alright." said Pip. "I'll go to the Golden Oaks Library, and when I get there, I will tell Twilight I'm sorry." He stood proudly and tall. Luna gave him a smile and Pip hugged her, with the princess of the night hugging the colt back. "I better be going now." she said "I hope that everything will work out alright." she said "I hope so to." Pip replied "Au revoir, princesse." he said in his French statement. "A tout a l'heure." said Luna with a French remark. Just like that, Luna disappeared into a glob of light and vanished into thin air. Pip ran to the Golden Oaks library, to talk to Princess Twilight. At the Golden Oaks Library Pip arrived at Twilight's house, with a look of nervousness on his face, but he decided to go through with this. He reached his hoof (It was shaking with fear) and he knocked on the door three times. In a few seconds, no-pony answered, and in a few more seconds, the door opened, and it revealed Spike. "Oh, hello Pip." said Spike in a happy voice. "What can I do you for?" Pip had a look of sadness on his face, he bowed his head in shame Spike noticed it, and said "Is...is something wrong, Pip?" He then tried to look at the colts face. "Yes..It's just that..." "Yes?" "remember what happened yesterday?" said Pip shedding a tear "What....Oh! You mean 'Twilight Time'. What about it?" the baby dragon asked "Well...I feel so guilty, and...and, I just came here to tell Twilight that I'm sorry." said Pip. "If that's okay with you. But, if you won't let me see her, then I understand. I will leave." The colt then walked the other direction sadly, but was stopped by the baby dragon's hand on his back. "Wait!" Exclaimed Spike. "Of course you can come in. Let me just show you where Twilight is, and if she's not studying, she's probably reading one of her 'Star-Swirl the Bearded' books in her bed again." "Really?" said Pipsqueak "Of course, buddy." said Spike. "I'm pretty sure Twilight will forgive you." He told Pip to follow him, and they entered inside the Golden Oaks Library, and Pip's hearts was already beating like a drum from an African tribe, but he just continued to Follow Spike. Finally, after walking upstairs, He found Twilight, sitting on her bed, with the book in front of her face. The baby dragon then gently tapped his claw on the purple Alicorn "Twilight?" he said "Oh! what? What?" Twilight jumped in a starteled matter. She looked down at what poked her, and it was Spike. "Oh. Sorry Spike, you just startle me." she said "That's okay, Twilight." "What is it?" said Twilight "It's Pip." the baby dragon pointed his finger to the sad colt, who bowed his head in shame. Twilight's smile then turned into a frown, and her eyebrows formed in a position of sympathy. She got off the bed, and walked up to the sad little colt, so that she can make eye contact with him. When she saw his face, she saw that he shed a tear down his cheek. "What's wrong, Pip?" She said remorsefully. "Do...do you think I am a bad little colt?" said Pip Twilight couldn't help but gasp at Pip's Question. "Wha...what do you mean?" she said with concern. "Remember what happened yesterday during 'Twilight Time'? and that I just came here to hang out with you?" he said, shedding more tears from his eyes. It suddenly became more clear to Twilight, as she became more puzzled. "What about it?" she asked. "Well... I got the crusaders in trouble because of that, and it was me and my big mouth!" Pip exclaimed. "You were pretty mad about it, and...and...I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Pip knelt down on the floor, and grabbed hold of Twilight's fore-hoof, and began weeping in despair. Twilight and Spike looked at each other with concern. "Spike?" said Twilight "Yeah?" "Can you please give us a minute?" "Sure thing." said Spike. He bounded downstairs, and went downstairs to take a shower. After the bathroom door closed, Twilight turned his attention on Pip. She gently lifted him with her magic and gently sat him on her bed. The colt just began sobbing and covering his face. Twilight then came up on the bed, and gently stroke his back. "Shh...It's okay." she whispered tenderly in his ear. "You're not a bad colt. You just made a bad choice. That's all." "you're...you're not mad at me?" asked Pip Twilight gave him a sad smile and said "Of course not. The girls told me about you, and said that you are the nicest colt that they have ever met. They said that you always behave in class, and always listen to Cheerilee when she teaches. They also said how polite you are, holding doors for mares." Twilight then pulled Pip into a hug, and said "I would never think of you as a bad pony. Even when you make choices like yesterday. Pip then calmed himself from his crying and sniveling and said "You really mean that?" "Of course, Sweetie." said Twilight softly. She slowly broke her hug with Pip, and had a thought in her head. "Would you like to hang out with me today?" Pip's eyes went wide. "Really?" "Sure. We can go wherever you want, The Hay Burger, The theater, the park, anywhere you want to go." Pip grew a smile on his face. "Well. We can go to the Hay Burger if that's okay with you?" he said Twilight smiled warmly and said "Of course. Let me go tell Spike." She went downstairs, and knocked on the bathroom door. "Spike?" "Yeah, Twi?" "Me and Pip are going to the Hay Burger for a little while, okay?" Twilight called "Okay." Spike called back to her. Twilight went back upstairs, and said to Pip. Ready to go?" "Yep." Pip Replied. "Do you feel better now?" she asked "I guess so." said Pip. "Let's go." The two went out of the door and to the Hay Burger, with Pip and Twilight by each-other's side. > The Hay Burger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hay Burger, one of the only fast food places in Ponyville, and the place for Twilight, and Pip to get lunch for today. As soon as they opened the door, they saw that it was a little crowded, but the line was short, as they can see, almost all of the tables were full, except fro three of them, one in the far end, left in the restaurant, and in the center, and one that is the second last, at the left side of the restaurant.. "So...where do you want to sit, Pip?" asked Twilight "Ummm....How about over there?" He pointed out to the last one of the far left of the restaurant. "Of course." said Twilight with a smile. The two then walked over to the table and sat in it, trying to make themselves comfortable. "So, what would you like to order?" Twilight asked Pip softly. "Umm....I'll just have a double hay-burger with cheese with a small root beer." said Pip with a smile Twilight was quite surprised to hear a small colt like Pip would want a double hay-burger instead of a single. "Are you sure? Because it sound a little big for you." said Twilight "Please? I have eaten a double hay-burger before, and it wasn't to big for me." said Pip with honesty. Twilight let out a small giggle and said " okay, okay. I'll go get the food. You gonna be okay, be yourself for a moment?" she asked him "Of course." said "Good." Twilight replied as she walked to the order station. Pip was waiting very patiently for his and Twilight's order to be taken, and looked around the restaurant many times. Finally after a few minutes, Twilight came back, holding the order ticket with her magic. "Okay, Pip. We are order number.....36." said Twilight, looking at the ticket "Great!" Pip replied. "I hope this won't take long." "It won't." said Twilight with a smile. "Good." said Pip. And so, the two just sat and waited for their order to be said. "Pip?" said A familiar filly's voice Pip made a yelp of surprise, and looked the other way from the window to see, the Cutie Mark Crusaders standing next to Pip with a worried face. "Are you feeling okay, buddy?" asked Scootaloo with concern. "Oh, hey, girls. I'm feeling a lot better now." said Pip. "Really?" said Applebloom. "Yes." Pip replied. "Hi girls." said Twilight in a cheerful tone. "Hi Twilight." said the girls in unison. "um, Twi? Why are you having lunch with Pip?" asked Sweetie Belle. "Oh! He feels really guilty about what happened during Twilight Time, and I feel remorse for him, so I decided to spend some time with him to make him feel better." Twilight explained. "Oh. good." said Scootaloo. "Do you mind if we join you Pip?" she asked the colt, with her along with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle had smiles on their faces. "That's more for Twilight to decide." Pip replied The girls then turned to Twilight with their smiles, and Twilight let out a soft giggle. "Of course you can join us." she said in a happy voice. The girls then exclaimed random stuff in happiness. Applebloom, sat next to Twilight while Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sat nexty to Pip. "Hey Pip," said Scootaloo. "Sorry about your scooter. I promise I'll bring it back to you." "It's alright, Scoot." said Pip, giving her a hug. Scootaloo normally would be annoyed with some-pony hugging her, but she decided that Pip was the only exception and hugged him back "Thanks." she said "So, what did you order?" asked Sweetie Belle. "I ordered a double hay-burger with cheese." said Pip. The crusaders eyes went wide open. "A double hay-burger?" Applebloom replied "That sounds huge!" said Scootaloo. "You sure you want that?" asked Applebloom "Yes. I'll be fine. I did have a double hay-burger before." said Pip a little annoyed. "Hey, we're just surprised in a good way." said Sweetie Belle "I know." replied Pip. "Order 36!" said one of the employees. "Oh! That's us, Pip." Twilight said. "I'll go get them." She stood up, and went to get the food. Pip saw his and Twilight's tray, and saw 3 burgers, and one of them was his. When Twilight came back with the food, she sat down, and placed Pip's box with the burger and gently sat it down in front of him "Here you go." she said "Merci beaucoup, mademoiselle." Pip said Twilight blushed and let out a giggle and said "No problem, sweetie." The colt opened the lid on the box and saw his burger, and it was delicious. He used his hooves to grasp the hay burger, and when he got a good grip on it, he took a gigantic bite from it, making the crusaders, and Twilight's jaws drop a little in amazement. When Pip swallowed his bite, he looked and saw The looks on their faces. "What?" asked Pip "Do I have something on my face?" He began to panic a little and sed his hooves to see if anything was on his little face. "Oh no, no, Pip." said Twilight. "We're just surprised and amazed to see you eat a big bite from a small colt like you." said Twilight softly. "Yeah, you didn't do anything wrong." said Sweetie Belle. "Oh, okay." said Pip with relief. "Anyway, we better go. We're planning on getting our cutie marks for Pig herders since our water purifying didn't work." said Scootaloo "Okay." Said Twilight. "Have fun." The girls walked out of the booth, and stopped to look back at Pip. "Also, we are glad that you are feeling better, Pip." said Sweetie Belle. "Yeah, buddy. We we're so worried about you." Scootaloo added "Would you like to hang out with us sometime?" asked Applebloom "Not right now, but some other time." said Pip. "Bye." exclaimed the crusaders in unison as they exited the Hay-burger, and onto Scootaloo's scooter, into the dirt road. "Well...I doubt that they will get their cutie marks for herding pigs." said Pip Twilight let out a giggle and said "I know." Twilight then asked him"Can I ask you somethng, sweetie?" "Sure, what?" "Is Proncess Luna still your favorite princess?" Twilight asked "Of course, I just love that how scary she can be during Nightmare Night, especially when she turns into Nightmare Moon to scare people must for the fun of it." Pip said "Figures." said Twilight. "so what are you going to be this Nightmare Night, hmm?" Pip had a thought and said "Well... I was thinking of being a superhero." said Pip "Good." Said Twilight. Twilight felt her stomach growling and said "I better fill up my stomach." She continued to eat her food for a few minutes, and she said "Ready to go?" "Hold on." said Pip, drinking the last sip of his root beer. "Alright, let's go." He and Twilight then exited the boot, with the alicorn holding the trash with her magic. The two exited the Hay Burger and looked around in different directions. Pip then had a thought and gently tapped Twilight's leg "Twi?" Said Pip "Yes?" She asked softly "What do you want to do now?" He asked "What do you want to do? It's more like your decision then my own." Twilight replied "How about...we just go through a walk in the park?" Pip suggested Twilight's grew into a warm smile and said "Good Idea. Also, would you like to sit on the bench as well?" "Oh yes." Said Pipsqueak. "I would love to." "Good, let's go." The two walked to the dirt road and into the park for their special time together. > Just a little walk in the park > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rights for this track go to Nintendo It was a beautiful day in the park--children playing many childish games like "Hide and seek" or playing "Tag". Twilight and Pip decided to hang out in the park for a little while so they can relax, and enjoy the nice, spring breeze. The duo saw a bench and decided to sat on it for their relaxation. "Thanks for spending the day with me, your majesty. It's a pleasure hanging out with someone like you. And no, not because you're famous, but You are such a nice mare." said Pip "Aww, that's so sweet." said a very touched Twilight. "Thank you." "I was thinking...Do you really meant what you said about me being a very nice colt." asked Pip Twilight looked at him and said "Of course I did. Why would you think I didn't" Pip thought about it and said "Nothing." softly "Are you sure?" asked Twilight softly. "I promise you." Pip replied "Alright. Just making sure." said Twilight. They just looked around the place, and just saw how beautiful the park was around them. the trees, the beautiful flowers int the emerald green grass, and the other ponies enjoying it. Twilight suddenly had an Idea, that would make Pip see that she forgives him for the "Twilight Time" incident. "Hey Pip?" "Yes, your majesty?" asked Pip "Oh Pip, you don't have to be formal with me. It's okay if you call me just Twilight." she said in a tender voice. "Really?" Asked Pip "Of course." Twilight replied. "Anyway, I was thinking. How about we play a game, hm?" "What kind of game?" The colt asked "Hide and seek." said Twilight. Pip's eyes grew big, because of how much he loved that game very much. "I would love to play hide and seek with you!" exclaimed Pip with excitement Twilight giggled at his reaction. "I knew you would like it. You know, the girls told me that you love playing that game and sometimes play it with them." said Twilight "Well, the crusaders told you right." Pip replied. "Who counts, and who hides?" he asked "That's up to you, since you really love that game." said Twilight softly. Pip had time to think and finally after one moment, he said "How about I hide and you count?" "Okay." said Twilight. "I'll count to thirty." "Okay." Pip said. "I really hope there's someplace to hide." said Pip in his head "1, 2, 3" Twilight counted Pip looked around for a quick hiding place and saw a tree with leaves that would be perfect for hiding. He climbed up to the tree very quietly without Twilight hearing him. "Ready or not, here I come!" Twilight called. She looked under the bench first and then in a few bushes. "Oh Pip? Where are you?" she called in a sing-song tone. What Pip didn't know was that Twilight just passed the tree he was hiding in. Pip then gave out a soft sneeze, that Twilight heard. She turned back, and got a devilish grin on her face. "Oh well. Looks like Pip is not around here!" she called out and then walked away from the tree. She then used the Magic from her horn to very silently poof herself onto the tree branch behind Pip. The young colt just gave out a silent snicker, and decided to turn back and was looking into Twilight's face "Peek-a-boo. I found you you." she said. this made the young colt jump out in surprise. The reaction made Twilight giggled "Sorry, Pip." she said "That's okay. You found me." said Pip. And they both laughed. After a good laugh, Twilight said "Alright. Climb on, I'll get you down." She used her magic again and got both her and the young colt down from the tree. Pip afterwards, got himself down from Twilight's. "Did you have fun?" asked Twilight "Yep!" Pip replied "I'm glad to hear that." said Twilight warmly. "Pip!" called a familiar voice. It was Pip's parents, Cassandra and Braveheart "Where have you been?" asked the father "Yes. We were so worried sick about you." said Pip's mother "Sorry." said Pip. "mum, dad, I was just depressed because of Twilight time and I just wanted some time alone to think things over. But then Luna came and told me that it was not my fault, so I apologized to twilight, and she felt bad and she wanted to spend some time with me to make me feel better, but i was having so much fun with her that i forgot all about it." "Oh." said Braveheart and Cassandra, realizing what was happening hear. "Aren't you two at least having fun at least?" asked Braveheart "Of course." Said Twilight "Oh. Then I guess then that's alright with us." said Casandra "Yeah." Braveheart replied. "But Pip, next time, when you do something like this, please tell us where your going, and so we won't worry about that. Okay, champ?" "I know." said Pip. "Sorry "That's alright." said the parents in unison. "We'll see you at home." said Braveheart. "alright. See you at home." Pip said "Bye." said the parents before heading back home. The colt turned his attention back to Twilight, and said "What would you like to do now?" "What do you want to do?" Twilight asked "Well...I don't know what to do now." said Pip a little dumbfounded Twilight then had a thought and said "I've got an idea." "What's that?" asked Pip "Is there a movie you would like to watch?" asked Twilight "Well.....I think there's one movie: Attack of the killer parasprites." Twilight looked at him with surprise and said "Are you sure?" "Yes. I've seen a few horror movies before and they weren't too much for me." Pip said "Alright. If you say so" Twilight replied Ponyville movie theatre Pip and Twilight were at the back of the seating isle and Twilight bought everything, the Popcorn, the soda, and the tickets. There were a few screams through the movie and some people covering their eyes from the horror they just watched. Pip and Twilight however, weren't terrified one little bit and found it amazing with the graphics and the storyline After the movie ended it was already 1:00pm. "It wasn't scary, but It was good." said Pip, walking out of the theatre with Twilight. "I concur." Twilight replied. Pip suddenly thought of something he forgot to ask Twilight. "Hey, Twilight?" "Yes?" "I forgot to ask you If I could borrow a book from you." said Pip Twilight's face grew into a wide grin showing here teeth. "Why of course you can borrow a book from me. Which do you want?" "Do you have...The Whinnying?" asked Pip "What, but that's a horror book? Why would you want to read that?" "Because I've seen the movie and I want to see a difference between the book and the movie." "I...don't think that's a good Idea." said Twilight "Pleeeaaase???" Pip said with a puppy dog face. "Oh, alright. But I hope it doesn't give you nightmares." said Twilight a little worried "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Pip replied. "but...maybe later. But first I want to spend more time with you. If...that is alright with you?" he asked with a nervous look Twilight gave him a warm smile and said "Of course it's alright with me. Where would you like to go next?" "I was thinking the arcade if that's alright with you." said Pip "That's fine, Pip. I'm just spending time with you to make you happy, and If your happy, then I'm happy." Twilight replied "Thanks." said Pip. "Shall we go to the arcade then?" "Yep." said Twilight. "Let's go." The duo then headed to the arcade to continue their special day together. Ponyville Arcade The arcade was full with children spending their summer vacation playing many random video games available. Pip looked around to see if there was any game still available and saw Pony Ops: Zombies was still available. However, many kids saw Twilight and froze at first, but became excited. They all walked to her, asking for her autograph. Twilight was a little annoyed, because she remembered when she was at the Hay Burger, but she decided to sign autographs for many children available. "Just a few more." she said "But I really must get back to my little friend." After she was finished she met Pip at the Pony Ops system. "Hey, Pip." said a voice "Oh, hi mister mash." said Pip It was a dark brown skinned unicorn with a goatee and was a little muscular. It was Milo Mash, the father of Button Mash. He had a black mane, and his goatee was black, and his cutie mark was a random arcade video game machine. "How's my favorite gamer today?" he said in a kind of a gruff voice. "Just hanging out with Princess Twilight." Pip replied "Awesome." Milo replied. "Milo, is it okay if you can get me some tokens to play with Twilight, and give me and her fingers so we can hold the guns in our hooves?" "No problem, kiddo." said Milo. couple of coins and fingers coming right up." He went to the counter and got him a total of 9 coins for each of the, cause according to the machine, it says you need 3 coins max to play the game. "And now, for the fingers." He used his horn to use a magic swirl that went around Twilight's and Pip's hooves and four fingers, including a thumb were now present on their hooves. "Enjoy the game, Pip." said Milo "Thanks, Mr. Mash." said Pip "No prob." said Milo When the game started, the two grabbed their machine gun controllers and began to play. "Be warned." said Pip "These Zombies are no pushovers." Twilight giggled and said "Oh alright." For ten long minutes they shot every zombie in their path in the game. The two both had an equal number of points of three thousand, but as they got into a few more levels, the zombies became more and more smarter, and started running instead of lumbering. After a total of thirteen rounds, and many revivals (Mostly Pip reviving Twilight) They lost the game. "Aw jeez." said Pip a little bummed "We lost." "It's okay, Pip. It was just a game." said Twilight in a comforting voice "I know. It was fun while it lasted." Pip replied "We still got 6 more coins, you know." "I know, I know," Twilight said "Wanna play again?" "Of course." said Pip. And so the two put three more coins in the two separate coin compartments and played the game for their special time together once again. > Twilight Tickle Time > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pipsqueak and Twilight were just hanging out in the Golden Oaks Library, With twilight reading a random book, with Pip and Spike reading another random book together, With the two sitting next to the purple Allicorn. Twilight looked at Her assisstant, and Pipsqueak, and a sneaky grin came on her face. "Pip?" she said while hiding her devious face. Pip looked at the purple allicorn. "Yes?" He asked with curiosity "Can I show you something?" Asked Twilight Pip got a smile on his face and said "Of course, Twilight. What is it?" Twilight then turned her attention toward Spike, and said "Can You please stand over there?" "Sure thing, Twi." Said Spike. Like she told him, he stood at the corner part of the library. He then began to think what was about to happen, but he realized what was happening and thought in his head "Looks like Pip will be having a good time at the moment." and began to quietly chuckle to himself. "So what is it, Twilight?" asked Pip. "I was thinking and- hey! What's that?" Said Twilight pointing at whatever object she was pointing to. This gave her the right moment to tackle Pip While he was looking at what she was pointing to, and began tickling him on the floor. "Coochie coochie coo!" she baby talked "Coochie coochie coochie coo!" "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed Pip. "Stop it! Not there! Not there! Hahahahahaha!" He was laughinhg so uncontrollably, that he was lost for words. Twilight then stopped for a moment, and said teasingly "What's that, You want me to tickle you there? Odd. But okay!" She began to tickle him on his feet, making him laugh even louder. Twilight used her tail to gently tickle Pip's stomach, and he felt an even bigger tickling sensation from it. Pip was now squirming and flailing under the purple allicorn's merciless tickling "Please! Hahahahaha! I can't take it! I can't" Pip laughed hysterically. Spike couldn't help but laugh at the sight, and ran up to Twilight, then said "Can I join in?" "Of course, Spike." said Twilight kindly. "Just grab a feather and get ready to tickle." "No! HAHAHA!" Pip laughed Spike however didn't heed his words and grabbed a feather from one of Twilight's wing and began to tickle the colt along with Twilight. "Not you too, Spike! Hahahahaha!!!" Pip laughed "Can't hear you Pip. I'm too busy enjoying tickling you." Spike teased, and he continued on tickling him. All of a sudden, Pip accidentally sneezed into Twilight's face, making her throw herself back and laying on the floor, exclaiming in disgust and rubbing the mucus from her eyes. Spike then came up to her to ease the irritation on her eyes. Pip saw this as a perfect chance to get up and ran as fast as he could, and ran into a hiding place at the speed of light while the going was good for him. "Can you see now, Twilght?" Asked a worried Spike. "I'm fine now." Said Twilight. "Hey, where did Pip go?" She and Spike looked around the library, but mysteriously, there was no sign of Pip anywhere. Twilight and the baby dragon where starting to worry about the colt. "Where do you think he went?" Asked Spike a little worried about Pip "I don't know." Said Twilight. "Here's the deal, you check in the bedroom, the wardrobes and behind the windows, and I'll look everywhere else." "On it." Spike said The two splitted up and looked high and low for pipsqueak, in the bathrooms, in the kitchen and even the wardrobes, but sadly, he was nowhere to be seen. Pip was now hiding In Spike's basket bed and remained silent. He could not believe that he accidentally sneezed in Twilight Sparkle's faceWhen Twilight looked at the basket, she just thought it was a pillow and continued looking for him somewhere else. "Whew. She's gone." He wanted to get up and tell Twilight he was sorry, but he was worried that she could banish him into the fiery pits of Tartarus for sneezing on her face, even by accident. "What did I just do?" He said to himself. However. He heard Spike coming and turned very silent by holding his breath and not moving a muscle. "Pip?" called Spike. "You in here?" He then saw that Pip was nowhere in his sights, and he went downstairs to continue looking for him. When the the baby dragon was gone, he gave out a sigh of relief. "I cannot believe I just sneezed in her face. What will she think of me now?" He said. He then began to quietly break down into tears and began to cry softly to himself. Twilight however was in the opposite end of the young colt and heard his quiet sobs near her bed. She went upstairs and very slowly, she move Spike's bed sheet off of Pip and saw him crying "Pip?" she said in a caring voice "What's wrong" Pip saw her and dashed into her bed, hiding under the covers. However, Twilight lifted her covers so she can look at him. She then laid down next to him and asked him in a tender voice "Was it me tickling you?" Pip just gave her a weak nod a "no." "Pip. I'm sorry about me tickling you. It' just that...you just look so adorable, and...I couldn't help myself. I...I just wanted to play with you." Said Twilight in a voice of guilt "Twilight?" said Spike from behind her. "What's wrong with Pip?" "I think he didn't like us tickling him." Twilight answered "Oh. Pip...I...I just wanted to play along...I...I'm sorry." Said Spike with great remorse. Pip then sat up with a couple of tears streaming down his face and said "I...it wasn't you guys tickling me. I...i did have fun with that, but...I...I sneezed in Twilight's face okay?" he exclaimed before he began to sob a little louder than he did before. Twilight felt a little shocked, but she lifted him up very gently with her fore-hooves and pulled him into a very loving hug. "Shh...It's okay, Pip. I'm not mad at you." She said in a comforting and soothing voice. "I'm sorry. I am so sorry." Pip sniveled Into her fur on her chest "Shh...it's okay." She said. She let Pip go of her hug and sat him right I. Front of her legs to make eye contact with him. "It was just a sneeze." She said in a soothing tone. "They can be uncontrollable, and sometimes you just have the feeling. I promise you I am not mad. I promise." "You're just saying that. Pip wept." Said Pip while weeping "I am not just saying that." Twilight said. "I'm telling you the truth." "Do you mean that?" Asked Pip "Of course." Twilight replied. "You ware to good to sneeze in my face on purpose. I promise you, everything will be okay." She decided to give him a a loving kiss on his cheek to help the colt stop his crying, and it worked. All Pip could do was blush with embarrassment and was temporarily stunned from the kiss inflicted by Twilight. "Wh...what was that?" He asked "I want you to feel better." Twilight said tenderly. "I did that because I love you. Well...not like a marefriend, but like a sister to you." "Wow...well...thanks Twlight." Said Pip Twilight giggled and said "Your welcome." Spike got onto the bd, opened his arms and said "Can I have a hug Pip?" "Sure." Pip said a little weak. The colt and the baby dragon then hugged each other with a very brotherly hug that lasted for five seconds. "So? Do you feel better, Pip?" Twilight asked the young colt. Pip wiped a tear and said "I think I do." "Good." Said a relieved Twilight "Yeah, Pip. You had us so worried about you." Spike added "I...I know." Pip said "So..do you want to finish that book we were reading together?" Asked the baby dragon. "Of course, Spike" Answered Pip. "Great." Said Spike. They grabbed the book that Spike dropped on the floor so he could tickle him with Twilight, and began to read it again. "Kids." Said Twilight. She had a thought and said in her head. "I think I have something I might want to give him tomorrow" she went downstairs and started to finish her book. > Feeling Better > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is Three o'clock in the after noon. Pipsqueak and Twilight were a game of "Tag" around Ponyville, and were having so much fun together. Twilight tried to catch Pip, and tagged and were having a laugh. The crusaders saw them and walked up to the two ponies. "Hey Twilight, hey Pip, how are you?" asked Sweetie Belle "Just playing a game of tag." said Pip. "And Pip is it." said Twilight. The crusaders laughed and Applebloom said "Sounds like fun." "Indeed." said Sweetie. Pip gave out a tired sigh and said "No thanks. I'm done" "Are you sure?" asked Twilight a little bummed "I am." Pip said. He got himself up from the ground from all of the laughs and so did Twilight. He said to her. "Did you have fun, Twilight?" "Of course." Twilight replied. "Did you?" she asked Pip back. "Yep." said Pip. "So...what would you like to do now?" asked Twilight in a cheerful voice Pip had a choice to think and said "I...think I'm out of ideas." said Pip with a little shame in his voice Twilight wrapped a hoof around the colt's shoulders and said "That's okay, I understand. You want to just relax at the library with me and Spike?" Pip smiled and said "Yes, Twilight." "Ooh, ooh, can we come with you guys?" asked Scootaloo "Sure." Twilight said. "Yay!" the crusaders exclaimed. The three fillies followed Twilight, and Pip to Golden Oaks. While they were walking back, Pip asked "Twilight, can I ask you something?" "What's that?" asked Twilight "can I...come back to Twilight Time? I promise to keep it a secret." asked Pip with a voice of begging a little. Twilight was a little unsure, and thought about what she had to say, she decided to say to him "Well...Twilight Time is for the girls to help them learn what their Cutie marks are. So...no." she said "Oh. I see." said a sad Pip. "But..." Pip got look of surprise and asked "But what?" "You can talk to your parents about coming over here every Saturday." said Twilight sweetly. A smile grew on Pip's face. "Really?" he asked excitingly. "Sure." Twilight said. "Oh! Well...thanks." said Pip. "What will we do together on those days?" the colt asked. "That's up to you, Pip. You made this possible, after all." said Twilight. What Twilight said made Pip blush crimson red on his face. "Oh...well..." a frown grew on Pip's face. Are...Are you sure you're not mad at me?" asked Pip. After the comment, the five ponies made it back to the Golden Oaks Library. "Come, have a seat." said Twilight "Okay." said Pip and the girls in unison. Twilight's smile grew into a frown and said "Of course not. I would never be mad at a sweet little colt like you." She bent down and gave Pip a kiss on the forehead. The girls and Spike made an "Aww." sound, and Pip backed up in discuss. "Eww!" he exclaimed. "Cooties!" "Cooties?" said Twilight a little offended. "There is no such thing as cooties." "That's just a little game that fillies like to play to tease colts sometimes." said Sweetie Belle "She's right. Pip." said Applebloom. "Trust me Pip, If there was such thing as cooties, all of the stallions and colts would all be dead right now." said Scootaloo. The ponies and Spike looked at her with concern. "What?" she asked, oblivious. "Oooookay, maybe not like that." said Sweetie Belle. "What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't be embarrased of having an older mare kiss you that isn't your mother." said Twilight. "Especially if there's nopony around to see it." Pip gave out a sigh and said "I just think it's gross." "No it's not." said Sweetie Belle. "It's adorable." "I might get used to it." said Pip. "I understand." said Twilight. "Anyway, would you like to come back here every Saturday?" she asked sweetly "Of course I will!" exclaimed Pip in excitement. Twilight giggled and said "Good." Pip looked at the clock in the library, and thought to himself for a second. "Can I stay with you for tonight?" he asked "Well....That would be up to your parents." said Twilight. "If it was up to me, I would definitely let you stay here for the night." "Oh. Right. I'll just go talk to them and see what they say." said Pip sadly. However, he was stopped by a purple hoof in front of his face. "You don't have to, Pip." said Twilight. "I'll talk to them." Pip made a small gasp in surprise and said "You would do that? For me?" Twilight gave him a warm smile and said "Of course. What are friends for?" "Wow! Thanks, Twilight." said Pip. "You're welcome, sweetie." said Twilight warmly. "Now, I won't make any promises, but I think they will say yes." "I'll keep my hooves crossed." said Pip. Twilight exited the door, and before she left, and said "Won't be long." and she walked out, closing the door behind her with her magic, leaving the colt alone with Spike and the girls. Pip walked up to Spike and asked "Do you think that My mum and dad will let me stay here for the night? And what do you think of me staying for the night?" "I really don't know, Pip." said Spike. "I will just keep my fingers crossed. And I wouldn't mind if you stayed here at all. You're alright." Pip blushed and hugged the baby dragon. The girls walked up to Pip with Scootaloo saying "buddy, we'ed really love to stay a little longer, but We have some more ideas for more crusading to do." Pip smiled and said "That's alright." and gave Scootaloo a hug. The tomboyish pegasus gave out an irritated sigh and said "Okay, okay, that's enough." Pip then let go of her hug. "You all have fun in your crusading." he said The crusaders said their "byes" to Pip and went out. "If Twilight asks, tell her we went to do some more crusading, okay?" said Sweetie Belle "I'll remember." said Pip, and the crusaders continued on with their little crusading. Twenty Minutes Later Twilight came back from Pip's house. She asked where the girls were, and Pip told her that they went back trying to discover their special talents "So what did my parents say?" asked Pip "Well, they said that you can stay for the night." said Twilight happily. Pip made an exclamation of happiness and excitement, and hugged Twilight. 7:59 Twilight was reading a "Daring Do" book out loud to Pip while sleeping on her bed next to her and with his pajamas on. She said "The End" and closed the book. Meanwhile, Spike was already asleep, due to being a baby dragon "Thanks, Twilight." said Pip "You're welcome." she replied. She closed the book, and put it back on the bookshelf next to the bed with her magic. She gave out a yawn and said "I should get some sleep. Good night." She gave Pip another tender kiss on the forehead, and tucked herself in, falling asleep thirty minutes later. Pip was still awake, and looked at Twlight, and then Spike. He had the feeling that he needed to use the bathroom, and got out of bed, very quietly. He turned on the light, and saw Princess Luna right in front of him. "Hello again, little Pip." Said Luna warmly "Oh! P-Princess Luna." Said Pip a little startled. "What are you doing here?" He bowed his head to show her respect. "I came here to tell you how absolutely proud I am of you." "Proud of me?" Said Pip Luna gave him a nod. "Of what?" Asked the colt. "That you said you were sorry to Twilight for ruining her Twilight Time. I am very proud of you for that." Luna replied "Thanks, your majesty." Said Pip. He turned the sink on and soaked his hooves with warm water, and then he rubbed his face with his hooves. "I should probably go back to sleep now." Luna giggled softly and said "I understand. Good night, Pip." She bent down, and gave him a very motherly kiss on his forehead, like Twilight would do. However, it felt a little longer, and Pip felt more comfortable with Luna kissing him instead of Twilight. "Thanks." Said Pip. "You're very welcome." Luna replied softly, and then she used her horn to vanish herself back to Canterlot. The colt exited the bathroom and went back to bed. the colt then fell asleep forty five minutes later, with Twilight having him in her arms like a teddy bear in the night. The End
