> Bye Bye, Miss Equstrian Pie > by GordonFreeMare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a cold day in Ponyville, the day that she met him. It was a cold, windy, somehow slow day in Ponyville. All of the pony's were going about their regular buisness. Where was pinkie, on this cold afternoon? In sugercube corner. Where else? She didn't WANT to, but she felt it was the right thing. Mr and Mrs Cake had to make a apperently extremely important delivery, and they didnt have anypony else to watch the store. So here she was, sitting behind the counter, not a customer for hours. She counted the cupcakes behind the counter for about the 56'th time. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." She was getting extremely bored. DING DING! Pinkie looked up. The door was swung open, and the coldness of the winter snow rushed into the store. Pinkie shivered. She hadn't realised how cold it was! But sweet Celestia, it was FREEZING! Then she remembered that if the door opeed, then there was a customer! She looked around, but there was no customer there. "What?" She thought out loud. "Who's there?" "Why, how do you not see me?" Said a voice. "Im right in front of your eyes!" Pinkie looked around. She stood up. Then she saw HIM. Standing in front of the kitchen door. "Oh, sorry! Didnt see you there!" She said with a smile. Then she noticed the way he looked. He was a black pegasus with a rockstar blue mane. His wings were blue, and his eyes were red. Her heart jumped when both of their eyes met. "This" She thought, "Is a fine looking stallion." She could feel herself blushing and hid it by looking back towords the counter. "Anyway, I'd like a custard cream pie please" Said the stallion. "Coming right up!" Pinkie yelled enthusiasticly. She felt as though she should say something less buisness- like. "So, how about this weather huh?" She blurted out in the middle of picking up the pie. "What? Oh, um, its cold." He said with his eyes on something else. Pinkie tried to follow his eyes. She found nothing but air. "Whats your name?" She asked suddenly. This seamed to startle the stallion. "Umm... my names Shroud. Shroud Sky." He said smiling. "So Shroud, are you new in town?" She was putting off giving him his pie, hoping for more time with him. "Yes, I came here from... down south... a bit." He said akwardly. Pinkie felt as though she shouldnt discuss this detail with him. "Anyway, heres your pie!" She slid the pie across the counter. "Thanks!" He said. "Before I leave, whats your name?" "My names Pinkie Pie!" She said with a grin. "So then, Pinkie, come see me sometime. I live on the edge of the Everfree forest, near that yellow pony's house." "Will do!" "With pleasure" She thought. "Ok, bye Miss Pie!" ... ... ... "Miss pie?" > Chapter 1. Pinkie promise? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bye bye, Miss Equstrian pie... Pinkie Pie was wading around in the snow outside of sugercube corner to get to the general store. It had been 6 days since she met Shroud. She had'nt seen him since. She wondered to herself, "Why hasnt he come by sugercube corner?" She didnt know. What she DID know, was that she was going to find him. She would find him, ask him why he hadnt come to see her, and then talk. She would do anything really to see him again. She didnt know why but she really liked Shroud. It was unexplainable, that she knew, but there was something else on her mind. What will Rainbow say? This, is what she was most worry'd about. She had been, or at least she thought she had been, a filly fooler a week ago. She had gone on, "polite" dates with Rainbow, of witch they ended, in the same way every time. She didnt want to hurt her feelings, but... "ARGGGH" She said aloud, grabbing everyone's attention in the streets. She blushed a bit. "Sorry guys!" She walked away into an allyway qucikly. She tripped on a garbage can, and fell, facefirst, into the snow-covered ground. Poof! She was now in the snow, and it was freezing. More freezing then every frozen treat she'd ever handled in sugercube corner before. Too cold. Much too cold. Her imidiate reaction, was like everypony elses would be. She tried to get her face up, and she couldnt. She just couldnt. Her face was stuck. She pulled harder. This is really hurting! She thought. She pulled up harder this time, and it felt like all the skin on her face was being ripped off. She flew back into the snow, and landed on the back of her head, knocking her unconcience. ... ... ... "Do you know who this pony is?" Said a light green pony with a gas mask on. His cutie mark was a flame. "I have absolutely no idea" Said another pony. He was blue, with a green mane. His cutie mark was a sharp brass bullet. " I was just going outside for a minute, and she was just lying there!" Said the green pony. "Think she drank too much cider?" He said with a wide grin. "No, she has a big bump on the back of her head here, see?" He gestured towards Pinkie's bruised, battered, head. "Your right. Think it was a murder attempt?" Said the blue pony. He was looking nervous. "Its a possiblity. But we can't make assumtions." Said the green pony, he picked up a pear and ate it cassualy. "Look here Toshack, you may be able to sit by like nothings happening while we have a pony here, probobly in a coma, about to die!" The blue pony shouted, a little bit louder than he wanted. "She wont die you moron. Just stay calm, I have medical training." Toshack (The green pony) walked over to Pinkie, and hooked up some orange wires to her head, and some blue to her chest and legs. They were in a reasonable size room, entirely made out of metal, and it was about 3 times colder here then outside. The room was filled with desks, filing cabenets, and surgery tables. They were the only 3 there. Toshack fiddled around with more wires and knobs on the surgery table, and the blue pony was trying to get a radio working in another corner of the room. Toshack broke some cables with his teeth and attached some to Pinkie, and some to the table. He dragged a heart moniter over from another table, almost breaking it on the way over. He attached that to Pinkie, but her breathing was getting to be irregular. He picked up the pace a bit, and quickly opened his saddle pack to get his defibralator. Pinkie was covered in a spider web of wires now, barely clinging to the real world. She was almost into a coma. "Hey, Troy! Get me some bandages!" The blue pony looked up from the radio, saw the mess of wires, and quickly went to the medical cabnet. He grabbed as many bandages as he could carry in his mouth. and rushed back over to Toshack. "Here you go, now whatever the buck it is your doing, I hope it works! I dont want an account of ponyslaughter!" He said in a panic. "I know what im doing!" Said Toshack, although really, he himself was panicing a bit. His emotions were hidden behind the gas mask. Toshack wrapped some bandages around Pinkie's head, and quickly pressed the defibralator's on Pinkie's upper chest. At that moment, a trap door on the roof opened and in came a pony with a black mane, and was wearing a coat that completely covered his body, except his wings. Toshack did'nt notice him, and flipped the two switches on the defibralators. Pinkie was hit with a shock wave that could slow Oprah to a crawl. ... ... ... "What the buck are you doing?! Said shroud from the trap door.
