> Seeing You Again > by Lavenderheart > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheese Sandwich walked back and forth, pacing. He had been doing so for a couple minutes, maybe ten, at the least, just...thinking. Thinking about.... "Pinkie Pie." Cheese muttered. "Why in Equestria did I have to have a crush on her? I mean, it's not like she actually likes me back." Boneless 2 just sat there, showing no emotion. Obviously. He's a rubber chicken. "Hmph. No matter what I say today, Boneless 2, you aren't saying anything back like usual. Are you just trying to ignore me?" The chicken still did nothing. "Whatever." The stallion said sitting down against a rock. He glared at Boneless 2. Cheese sighed, and picked up the chicken. "Sorry for talking to you like that. I just..." He now had a sad look on his face. "I- I just really miss Pinkie Pie. I wonder how she's doing with Boneless." He glanced up at the sky. It was about 6:00 now. He thought that maybe he could pay her a visit. He wasn't sure when to do so, though. Maybe......today? "Well, it HAS been a while..." Cheese said, looking at his hooves. That's it. If he was ever going to see Pinkie Pie again, it would be today. Cheese stood up, looking into the distance. "Alrighty, Boneless 2. We're off to Ponyville." > Chapter Two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie finished putting the frosting on some cupcakes. "Almost done..."she said to herself, finishing it off. She put down the tray of cupcakes. "All done!" Pinkie skipped happily out to one of the tables, where Twilight Sparkle and Rarity sat. She looked at them with a grin. "Ok girls, I finished your cupcakes!" They were purple with yellow frosting and little blue sapphires. Rarity gasped. "Oh Pinkie, they look simply divine." Twilight nodded. "They're lovely."she said. "Aww, thanks! They took a long time to make, especially with the creamy filling!" Before they could say anything, Pinkie was out the door, doing....who knows what? Pinkie Pie had just recently read another letter from Cheese Sandwich. She wasn't able to send him any-he didn't exactly have an address. Yet she was sure he understood. Cheese's latest letter had said how much he missed her. After all, the last time they had seen each other was during Rainbow Dash's birthaversary! It also stated that he had planned many parties across Equestria since he had mosied along. At the end, it repeated how much he missed her and how he wanted to be with her again. Pinkie had felt a warm feeling in her cheeks when she read this. Gosh, does he really miss me that much? she thought. She missed him too...a lot. Parties just weren't the same without him. Yes, she was still able to plan and attend them, but deep in her heart she knew that without that stallion, it still wasn't the same. "Hey Pinkie!" Pinkie Pie looked up to see a cyan pegasus hovering above her. Pinkie smiled. "Hi Rainbow. What do you need?" Rainbow Dash smiled too. "Ok, so I need you to come and watch this really awesome trick I just came up with!" Pinkie definitely was NOT in the mood for "really awesome tricks", but she couldn't disappoint her friend. "Right behind you, Dashie." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie patted Gummy, his lifeless eyes not paying attention to anything in particular. "Oh Gummy," Pinkie said, sitting on her bed, "What am I gonna do? I just miss Cheesie so much. It's practically UNBEARABLE!" She waved her hooves in the air. Looking down at the floor, she let out a sigh and a moan. Suddenly, she heard talking downstairs. 'Who's that?" Pinkie asked Gummy. No answer. "Should I go take a look?"she asked. Gummy blinked. "I'll take that as a yes!" Pinkie giggled. She slowly crept down the stairs, listening carefully. Then, she gasped. Standing right there. Wearing a yellow shirt with his poofy brown mane, was... "Cheesie!!" > Chapter Three > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheese Sandwich turned around to the familiar sounding voice. Once he saw that it was Pinkie Pie, he beamed. "Hi Pinkie!" Before he could continue, she was already on top of him, pinned to the floor. She nuzzled him and blushed, causing Cheese to blush as well. Mr. Cake was standing a couple feet away from them. When he saw Pinkie lying on Cheese's chest, her head rested against his yellow shirt, he smiled. Cheese had come in asking where Pinkie Pie was, and she found him. After what felt like hours, Pinkie finally rolled off of him. Cheese stood up and offered Pinkie his hoof. She took it and stood up, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "Thanks Cheesie," she said, looking into his green eyes. "I'm just SO SO SO happy that you came back!" Pinkie said, giving him a hug that knocked all the air out of his body. "I'm...happy...to see...you...too....." Cheese managed to say, still in the pink mare's arms. Once she stepped back, she started bouncing. "Hey! I've got an idea!" She paused to see Cheese looking at her curiously. It was a look that said, It's not something that would get us banished to the moon, is it?! Pinkie hopped behind the counter(they are still in Sugar Cube Corner) and looked at Cheese. "Want a cupcake?" Cheese looked down in the glass where all the treats were. "You bet I do!" He began. Pinkie giggled and picked one out. It was chocolate with pink icing. She handed it to him and said in a fancy tone, "That'll be 5 bits!" Cheese began to take out a little sack until Pinkie stopped him. "Hold on, mister," she said, giving him an amusing glare. "You just got back here, and I'm not gonna make you pay." Cheese Sandwich never felt comfortable not paying for something he got. "If you insist..." He mumbled, looking at the floor. Pinkie bounced out from behind the counter and hugged him once again. "Awww, it's ok Cheesie. Besides, we still have to throw you a Welcome Back Party!!" Cheese looked down at Pinkie, blushing all the while. "You'd- throw me a party?" Pinkie blushed too, and nuzzled his cheek. "Of course, silly! That's what friends are for!" "Thanks, Pinkie!" He said. Pinkie started walking upstairs. "C'mon, Cheesie, we can start planning up here in my room!" Cheese followed her upstairs. She opened her door, and they stepped inside. Balloons and decorations littered the room. It looked really great to Cheese. "Wow, Pinkie! You're good at decorating!" Pinkie blushed and looked up at him. "Th-thanks Cheesie. I really worked hard." She then trotted over to her bed and sat down, pulling out a notepad. Cheese walked over as well, sitting down next to her. "Ready to start planning?" "Yes indeedy!" > Chapter Four > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie hopped up and down in excitement. "It's doooone!" she said in a sing-song voice. Cheese smiled. They had been working on a huge sculpture...a balloon sculpture for the party. Pinkie ran up to Cheese and tackled him. "It looks AMAZING!" she shouted. Rainbow Dash, watching them from the clouds, smirked. "Ooh...." Twilight was now flying beside Dash. She sighed. "Rainbow, leave them be." She looked down at the two party ponies. Rainbow looked at her, a mischievous grin on her face. "Oh, don't worry, I'll do whatever it takes to get theses two together." Twilight gulped. The last time two ponies had been forced together was the Cheerilee and Big Mcintosh incident. Now THIS?! Dash noticed her worried expression and smirked again. "Don't worry, I've got it all under control." I sure hope so... Twilight thought. "Cheesie?" Cheese turned around. Pinkie was holding a cupcake. He smiled. "Yes?" Pinkie giggled. "I made this for you!" "Uhm, I'm ok..." "Eat it." "No." "EAT IT PLEASE!" "I'm not gonna eat it-" "I made this for you..." Pinkie pouted. "Fine." She rolled her eyes, and smiled. "I'll give it to Rarity! See ya, Cheesie!" Cheese waved bye, them got back to work on blowing up balloons, blushing. "Step one-complete." Rainbow Dash put on her binoculars, watching Cheese blow up balloons. "He's blushing. Blushing was step one. Step two. I'll make them spend so much time with each other-" Twilight cut her off. "RAINBOW." She scolded. Dash flinched. "Yeah...?" Twilight stormed up to her, behind the bushes. "You can't force two ponies together!" Dash bit her bottom lip. "B-but I'm helping them." Rainbow then stuck out her bottom lip and made puppy-dog eyes. "Pwetty pwease?" Twilight rolled her eyes. "Don't do anything you'll regret." And walked away. > Chapter Five > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It looks perfect!" "No, I'm telling you, it needs more streamers!" "Uh, maybe more balloons.." "Nah, streamers are the way to go!" "O-okay..." ........ "Got them yet?" "Er, they're not there..." "AGAIN?!" Cheese and Pinkie had been setting up the Welcome Back party, and were having...difficulties. You see, their party supplies were...missing. And you can't have a party without party supplies, that's for sure. "Oh, what are we gonna DO?" Pinkie screeched. Cheese just shrugged, his head hanging low. "I-I guess we could just call off the party.." Pinkie gasped. "CALL OFF THE PARTY?! Are you nuts? This is your Welcome Back party, Cheesie! We've got to try." she stated firmly. Cheese muttered an "Okay." and kept looking for the supplies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash snickered. "Heh. This ought to get 'em together.." She fumbled with the binocular in her hooves. Pinkie Pie and Cheese looked sorta upset. "It'll be worth it..." Dash muttered. Suddenly, she heard a shrill voice behind her- "RAINBOW DASH." She whipped her head around to see a very angry looking Twilight. "Oh, uh, h-hi, Twi...what's up?" she stuttered, rubbing the base of her neck with her hoof. Twilight glared at her. "Might I ask WHY you are hiding behind a bush with a pair of binoculars, talking and laughing to yourself while staring at Pinkie and Cheese?" Dash started sweating. "Uh.." "Didn't I tell you not to force them together?" "Y-yeah, you did...but..." Dash squeaked. "I...I was desperate. I...took their party supplies to......uhm, distract them?" "Uh huh. Now, you could help out with the party instead of sitting behind a bush staring at ponies!" Twilight whisper-shouted. Dash winced, and rolled her eyes. "Fine." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pinkie sighed. Wow, this was gonna be a loooong day. Where in Equestria were those supplies? Oh well. At least she had Cheese. She blushed at the thought of him. Woah, woah, Pinkie, stop blushing. And stop talking to yourself, that's weird. Wait. Nevermind, I'm THINKING to myself! Oh no, I'm still blushing. Wait, Cheesie is staring at me...ohnoohnoohnoooo....He's giving me a weird look. Oh my cupcakes! Pinkamena Diane Pie, stop blu-blushing this instant! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cheese stared at Pinkie, giving her a weird look. Why was she...blushing so hard? "Uh, Pinkie? Are you...okay?" he asked. Pinkie stopped blushing for a moment and nodded. "I'm okie dokie lokie! Let's, uh, keep looking for th-those party supplies!" Cheese nodded. Little did they know, a certain cyan pegasus was still watching them from a distance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My ship is sailing!"
