Two Brothers, One Pie
Pinkie was laying under a twisted Tree in the Everfree forest with a content smile across her face, an order came in that required a few wild berries that only grew there. She'd already gathered the berries, but decided she needed a little break. Strangely enough she never got lost or was intimidated in the forest, most of the creatures there were somewhat afraid of her, seeing how every time they tried to attack her she'd only give them belly rubs, which they hated for some strange reason. However there was something ominous about the forest today, it felt colder and more windy. "Getting kinda spooky out here, heheh..." she giggled nervously to herself. The wind howled harder, she could've sworn she saw an image appear then disappear behind a tree. She figured she had enough of a break, she stood up and began to trot back to Town. She felt a continuous pattern of crunching leaves behind her, she turned her head as she continued to walk, a figure appeared the disappeared again. She began to pick up her pace, still checking behind her every so often. 'Oh sweet Celestia just let me get home safely'' she begged in her mind. When she looked back again she bumped into something in front of her, falling flat on her flank. She shook her head and looked at what she bumped into, a dark figure wearing a hoodie and some shorts towered over her, she was frozen in fear, unable to move. He began to speak.
"Pony... Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Stand up, and shake my hand." Pinkie warily stood up and extended her shaky hoof to the hooded figure, such a strange pony, he stood on only two legs and had a strange glow to his right eye. The figure did the same, and placed it's hand on her hoof, a farting sound emerged from their shake. Pinkie Pie giggled a bit, and so did the figure, he then flipped off his hoodie, revealing a skull face with a wide grin. "Heheh... The old Whoopie Cushion in the hand trick, it's ALWAYS funny" Pinkie Pie was scared yet relaxed at the same time. The skeleton's voice had such a deep soothing tone to it, not terrifying, more welcoming with a slight laugh to each word.
"H-hiya, I'm Pinkie." she replied, trying to regain herself.
"You're pony right? That's hilarious. I'm Sans, Sans the Skeleton. Me and my brother Papyrus are on the look out for any humans in this realm, the word ring a bell to you?"
"Nope, never heard of a hooman before." she replied, the term almost alienated to her.
"That's a relief, y'know I don't really care about capturing any humans. Now my brother, Papyrus, he's a human hunting FANATIC. But still, good to know there's not any here, less work for me. I've been 'searching' for humans for hours, boy are my bones aching." Pinkie Pie giggled again.
"Well quit horsing around and get back to it!" she retorted. Both of them laughed together.
"I like ya Pinkie, it's hard to find another who likes puns as much as me. Most don't find them humerus." Pinkie Pie sighed, she felt relived that not only was she in danger, she found a new buddy.
"Where's your brother?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Dunno, probably heckling the other ponies about how amazing he is."
"He should meet Rainbow Dash, I'm sure they'd have a lot in common then," she jested.
"I'm sure she has a real colorful personality."
"SANS!" a shaky voice screamed out from a distance. They both turned their attention to another skeleton runnig full speed at them, this one much taller but better dressed. Wearing a red armor suit with a red cape. "Sans, what are you doing socalizing with the residents of this town without ME?! How else is my popularity going to spread when you hog it all for yourself"
"Chill bro, we were just talking 'bout humans is all." Sans replied.
"Still, I do not like the fact you're keeping all the popularity to yourself talking to horses!" He turned his attention to Pinkie, "Greetings horsey, I'm Papyrus. A skeletal recruit of the royal guard." he replied, sounding more proper.
"She's a pony Papyrus, not a horse," Sans corrected, still smiling as ever.
"WELL WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!" Papyrus shrieked.
Sans winked at Pinkie as he turned back to his brother, "Ponies are short multicolored equines that stand with four legs. Horses have much longer necks, with an orange coat with brown spots all over, they prefer eating out of trees instead of the grass because of their long necks."
"Oh," Papyrus mumbled, "My mistake pony. Have you seen any humans around here?"
"No, sorry silly bones." she giggled.
"Grr, these confounded ponies!"
"How can you be angry, you're smiling at what she just said." Sans chuckled.
"I am and I hate it!" he shouted. "I, the great Papyrus, will soon find my fame by capturing a human! Sans, if there are no humans here we shall leave at once," Papyrus steamed as he marched off
"If you say so bro. See ya Pinkie," Sans chuckled as he followed behind his brother.
Pinkie smiled and waved back. She quickly remembered the order back in Ponyville, and ran off for the Bakery. She'd have to think of an excuse for being late, no other pony would believe she chatted up a bunch of talking skeletons.
