Pinkie and Twilight have feelings for each other, but it may be too late before they realize.
Since the beginning, Pinkie has had feelings for Twilight and vice versa, though it was never revealed under any circumstances. Then a stallion named Cheese Sandwich enters the picture.
Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle were two members of the saviors of Equestria, the Elements of Harmony, and the most iconic pony group around. They and their friends have defeated villains stronger than themselves and saved the world time and time again. Yet, something as simple as a crush felt too scary to ever pursue.
Pinkie Pie had always taken a liking to Twilight. From the moment she first saw her in Ponyville, she knew she was somepony special and was honored to become her friend later on. Pinkie loved her dorky personality and teased her relentlessly with her randomness, but she was sure that Twilight hadn’t liked her back, so kept the crush quiet and only told one other pony- her most trusted sister, Maud Pie. Maud had always supported her sister in her love endeavors, but was worried she was going to get herself hurt.
As for Twilight, she’d almost never admit that she had it bad for Pinkie. At first, she was heavily in denial about these feelings and had (regretfully), treated her harshly the first month or so of knowing her, trying to push away the growing feelings. Though, obviously that didn’t work. There was just something about Pinkie’s spontaneous and bubbly personality that Twilight couldn’t figure out. And that fascinated her more. She wouldn’t ever admit these feelings directly to her, either out of anxiety, or a fear of commitment that she didn’t realize she had. Though, that didn’t stop her from quietly pining.
Completely unbeknownst to each other, they had mutual feelings. Pinkie’s crush seemed obvious to few, but others couldn’t see it. Twilight dared not to show hers. And that’s all it was for a while, a small crush that no one would know about. After Twilight became a princess, their crushes distanced more due to her having a busy life. But, once a stallion rolled his way into town, everything changed.
Cheese Sandwich was the name, and party planning was his game. He was the perfect match for Pinkie, even Twilight could see that. Though, for some reason, it still hurt every time she thought of them spending a life together. It’s not like she would ever make an advancement towards Pinkie, right?
Pinkie initially wasn’t interested in Cheese Sandwich in that way. She liked him a lot but saw him more as a friend. Once other ponies started lightly teasing her about a possible relationship between the two is only when she contemplated the idea. It didn’t seem unfitting. Cheese and her had almost everything in common and have lots of fun together. But, whenever Pinkie thought about Cheese, a certain purple alicorn would pop into her head instead.
“I don’t get it, Maud.” Pinkie Pie whined to her sister. “I thought I was over Twilight! Now when I’m trying to move on, she keeps popping into my head!” Whenever Pinkie has these problems, she takes the train to the old rock farm because Maud is the only one she can confide in with this. Maud glanced at Pinkie, seeing how distressed she was. “Pinkie Pie, I think you need to tell her.” she flatly responded. “Yeah, yeah, Maud. You always say that!” Pinkie replied in annoyance, rubbing her head trying to get the image of Twilight out. Maud had usually suggested it, most of the time it being sarcastic. “No, I’m serious.” Maud spoke. This got Pinkie’s attention as she looked to Maud, now listening. “I’m not saying you should try and date her, but this emotional baggage will follow you until you get it off your chest. Twilight really cares about you, I can tell.” Maud said. “I doubt she would be upset if you confessed, even if she did reject you.” Slowly, Pinkie Pie nodded. “You’re right, sis. I just don’t know if I’m ready.” Maud simply put a hoof around Pinkie. “You don’t have to be.”
Twilight was awoken from a much-needed nap by Spike poking her sides. “Ouch, Spike..” she sleepily grumbled. “I’m sorry, but Pinkie wants to see you. She says it’s urgent!” Spike told her. Twilight reluctantly turned around and rolled out of bed, yawning and wondering what was wrong. Pinkie did feel bad about waking Twilight when Spike told her she was asleep, but she couldn’t wait any longer. Twilight walked downstairs to the main hall seeing Pinkie by the door, looking anxious. “Pinkie, what’s up?” Twilight asked, trying not to yawn again. Pinkie quickly grabbed her and ran into the closest storage unit in the castle, much to Twilight’s confusion. “Sorry, Twilight. I just really want to be alone for this.” Twilight nodded and again inquired what the problem was.
The storage unit was packed with stuff Twilight didn’t need but held onto dearly, making the presence in there very claustrophobic. Pinkie and Twilight were forced to be side by side because of boxes that wouldn’t move and that Twilight refused to move at the moment.
“Twilight… Do you ever think… about us?” Twilight was about to say “Yes, I think about all my friends.” but she could tell exactly what kind of ‘thinking’ Pinkie meant from her tone. She was a bit shocked by the sudden advancement so she simply looked down. “Do you?” “Maybe. Yes.” Pinkie replied. Twilight’s head bounced up in surprise, and tried to hide her blushing face with her hooves. After a few moments, Twilight softly said “I do too.” which surprised Pinkie as well. They didn’t have to say much to know exactly what the other one meant. The confession was out.
“But I thought you and Cheese-“ Twilight started. “Maybe, I don’t know. But I couldn’t go forever without telling you.” Pinkie quickly replied, cutting her off. Twilight sighed, this being a bombshell to hear. She put her hoof on Pinkie’s gently and tried to calm her anxious mind internally. “But, what do we do now?” Pinkie asked. Twilight looked to her. “What do you mean?” “I mean, that our feelings are mutual. What do we do now?” Pinkie replied. Twilight’s heart stopped for a moment, she never considered the possibility of Pinkie wanting to date her, and didn’t know if that’s what she exactly wanted either. “I don’t know.” was all Twilight could muster. It didn’t have a positive feel to it.
Pinkie hugged Twilight as they were already smushed in the storage unit. “Why did you never tell me?” Pinkie asks. Twilight hugs back slowly, shutting her eyes tightly. “I didn’t want to believe it myself.” Hearing this stung Pinkie a bit, but it was the truth even if she found it hurtful that Twilight didn’t even want to believe her own feelings for Pinkie. Though Twilight accepted her feelings internally, she never could bring them out to light. She still wasn’t sure if she was okay knowing that she had a crush on one of her best friends. Sensing that it hurt Pinkie, Twilight squeezed onto her. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Twilight asked. “I never would’ve thought you’d like me back.” Pinkie whispered. Twilight’s heart wrenched at Pinkie’s tone. Though, she wasn’t surprised. Twilight never showed any romantic interest in her before, even though she had a lot of it.
The mares were silent for a while. Even though this should be a moment filled with joy, it felt somber. Twilight eventually moved the boxes that smushed them together so they had more room to sit and process. “How long?” Twilight asked, referring to when the feelings had begun. “This is gonna sound dumb, but since the first time I saw you basically.” Pinkie answered. Twilight blushed and looked back down, saying a very quiet “Me too.”
Slowly, Pinkie scooted closer to Twilight and either in the moment or out of impulse, both of their lips instinctively met each other. Twilight held Pinkie tight, sharp and cold tears pricking at her eyes. Pinkie held onto Twilight like she was a koala, smushing her mouth against hers. Their love for each other was undying in that moment. Full and bountiful. So, they kept at it. They eventually stopped when Twilight had to cry. She pulled away and started sobbing. Pinkie leaned against her sympathetically, wondering what to do.
“It hurts, Pinkie. It hurts.” Twilight choked out in-between sobs. “What does?” Pinkie replied. “I want to do this, but… We won’t work out.” Twilight sobbed. Pinkie’s heart dropped. She was sure that after they kissed, she would walk out with a new marefriend. “What? Why?” Pinkie asked. “We won’t. It can’t. I’m too busy all the time being a princess, and with me being an alicorn, I’ll outlive you.” Twilight explained. “But… we can figure it out.” Pinkie said, her eyes practically begging. Twilight slowly shook her head. “It’s not that simple. Plus, there’s never been a relationship between royalty and a commoner in all of history. I don’t want to do anything wrong.” Pinkie’s ears perked up. “Commoner…? That’s all I am to you now that you’re royalty?” What once was depression now turned into anger. “Pinkie, please. You know I didn’t mean it that way.” Twilight begged. “I don’t know what you mean. You’re giving a lot of mixed signals right now.” Pinkie replied coldly. “First, you hide your crush from me because you’re ashamed of it. Then when I tell you and you feel the same, you don’t want to date me because it’s like you’re ashamed of me!” Pinkie blurted out, tears starting to fall down her cheeks too. “Like all you’re worried about is just your image as a princess now. And how I’ll ruin it.” “No no, Pinkie. Not at all!” Twilight grabbed her hooves. “It’s just not as simple as it seems. There’s a lot of variables to be accounted for, I can’t just jump into this!” “And why not?!” Pinkie nearly shouted back. Twilight sighed. “Not everything can be as simple as you want it to be, Pinkie.” “So that’s all you think of me. A simple commoner.” Pinkie’s voice started to break. “I don’t! But why can’t you understand I can’t just start dating you like it’s nothing?!” Twilight yelled back. “Because it is nothing! Ponies do it all the time!” “Not royalty!”
They were silent for a bit before Pinkie continued. “So, overall. You care about your image as a princess more than having a relationship with me.” Twilight stayed quiet because she knew this was the truth. She knew it was as bad as it sounded and she knew this was all wrong, but she didn’t know what else to do.
Pinkie sighed and wiped tears away from her eyes, her mane flattening ever so slightly. “Thanks for your time, Twilight. I gotta go.” Pinkie said before she flashed a fake smile and ran out. Twilight tried to catch up to her but didn’t have the energy and simply sat on the floor sobbing to herself.
Eventually, Spike came down and tried to help. Twilight put her guard up and told Spike to leave, but when he didn’t, she held him tight and didn’t let go. “It’s all my fault!”
Pinkie ran home and jumped into her bed, giving a good hour or so to cry her eyes out. Eventually, she sat up and thought about Twilight. Maybe she was right. Maybe it would be hard to manage a relationship with her being a princess. Maybe it would’ve brought more hardship than happiness. Pinkie’s thoughts slowly lulled into dreamlike nonsense as she fell asleep. Twilight didn’t get much sleep that night. She felt sick over what had happened. She didn’t know what to do.
Spike decided to leave Twilight alone the next day. There was a knock at the castle door. As Spike was about to go get it, Twilight was already on her way. She opened the door, completely expecting to see a mail-pony or something of the sort but the moment she saw Pinkie standing there, wide smile as her usual self, she collapsed into hugging her and started crying. “I’m so sorry!” Twilight sobbed out before Pinkie could get a word in. “I don’t know what to do! I’m sorry!” she cried. Pinkie patted her head. “It’s okay. I forgive you.” Twilight looked up to her, tears staining her face. “You do?” Pinkie nodded. “I’m sorry I overreacted. I understand what you mean now.” Pinkie told.
Twilight had a shaky sigh of relief and hugged Pinkie again. “I guess it was the wrong place and wrong time.” Twilight said hoarsely, trying to make it sound lighthearted but it felt as painful as it sounded. Pinkie Pie nodded. “Yup.” she simply replied with.
The mares embraced for a few minutes until Pinkie broke the hug and kissed Twilight tenderly on the cheek before saying, “Friends?” and holding out her hoof. Twilight slowly nodded and took Pinkie’s hoof. “Friends.” For the rest of the day they spent time together without any awkwardness crushing them. Just like any old friends, as if nothing has happened between the two of them. Of course it took a few weeks but, the wounds healed and they resumed their normal lives, not telling any of their friends what had happened.
After a while, Pinkie got with Cheese Sandwich. It was totally predictable, but they were happy together. They spent their days together as Twilight evolved into an alicorn more and more and looked on to them, watching them grow a happy family.
“Guys, guess what?” Pinkie had asked to all her friends as she called them to a group meeting at Sugarcube Corner. She was sitting next to her husband, Cheese Sandwich as he lay his hoof around her. “What?” they all ask in their own ways. “I’m..” There was a pause for dramatic effect. “pregnant!” She eventually spit out.
Everyone gasped and she was suddenly flooded with questions and reactions. “Woah, really? Another Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. “I’d love to babysit for you once they’re born!” Fluttershy offered. “Oh, deary me! Do you know if it’s a girl or a boy yet?” Rarity asked. “Wow! I never woulda guessed that you’d be a momma! You’ll be a great one, I’m sure!” Applejack encouraged.
Twilight stayed quiet and simply smiled. She was happy for the couple of course, but why is she thinking about Pinkie in that way again? It’s been years. Imagining them with a family. With kids. Happy together. No. Twilight thought as she kept her winning princess smile. That ship has long sailed. It’s over.
“Yeah, we’re super excited!” Cheese Sandwich cheered. “We’re gonna have our own lil’ cheese!” “I just found out, so it’ll be a while until we meet ‘em, but for now we can plan!” Pinkie added on. “Have you figured out a name, yet?” Rarity asked. “Duh!” Cheese Sandwich retorts. “Lil’ Cheese!” Pinkie and Cheese say in unison. “Wait… That’s not a nickname?” Rainbow Dash inquired. “Kinda! Their full name will be Lillith Cheesington.” Pinkie replied. “What if it’s a boy?” Applejack asked. “Hmm.. Louise Cheesington!” They all laughed and congratulated her, but as everyone was leaving, Pinkie couldn’t help but notice that Twilight almost hadn’t said a word. She replied to some stuff, and reacted, but never spoke outright.
Pinkie stood at the doorway by Sugarcube Corner, watching her friends walk away. “Sugar lumps?” Cheese Sandwich called out. “Is everything okay?” “Uhuh!” Pinkie called back. “Just gimme one minute!” she said as she started lightly sprinting to Twilight.
Twilight felt a tug on her tail and turned around to see a very out of breath Pinkie Pie. “Pinkie! What are you doing? You can’t run like that while being newly pregnant! You see, the foal needs time to-“ “Twilight, shuttup for a second okay?!” Pinkie blurted out, much to Twilight’s surprise. “Sorry, mood swings I guess. Why were you so quiet in there?” “Ah, guess I’m just tired. You know me, stayed up way too late studying!” Twilight said in an almost convincing voice but then let out an awkward chuckle that gave away her ruse.
“You’re not.. upset about me and Cheese having a baby, are you?” “No! Not at all! Why would I be upset about that?” Twilight retorted back. And it’s what she meant, but deep deep down in her inner psyche, she was the tiniest bit upset. Pinkie turned away from her. “Let me remind you that it was you who rejected me.” “What? What are you talking about??? This isn’t about that at all!” “Oh, isn’t it?” Pinkie countered. “You looked slightly uncomfortable the entire time, but enjoying yourself! And I know when you’re slightly uncomfortable but enjoying yourself, you’re hiding something! What is it, Twilight? Spill it!”
Twilight’s ears slowly drooped as she looked to Pinkie. “I don’t know why I feel upset, okay? I don’t want to feel like this. I’m happy for you two, genuinely I am, but my brain is putting images in my head I don’t want.” “Like what???” “Like us being in a family! I know it never could work out but that doesn’t mean I ever lost feelings!” Twilight nearly shouted.
Pinkie looked at her dead on. “You missed your chance. I don’t want to see you for a while.” Pinkie turned around and started walking back. “What??? No, Pinkie! This is a misunderstanding! I’m happy for you, really I am! I don’t know why I-“ The door slammed. “-think this way…” Twilight looked longingly at the closed door before turning around and walking back.
Pinkie huffed and slammed the door. “What’s troublin’ ya?” Cheese Sandwich asked as he walked over. Pinkie just shook her head. “Come on, you can tell me!” Cheese Sandwich prodded. “Cheese.” Pinkie spoke in an unusually serious tone. That was Cheese Sandwich’s cue to back off a bit. Pinkie went upstairs and sat alone in a closet in their room to think. Cheese knew to give her space by now. He wasn’t offended, he knew she just needed time and walked off to the kitchen.
Pinkie sighed as tears begrudgingly slid down her cheek. She was thinking about how truly heartbroken she had been, and how long it took for her to move on and love Cheese. She acted hunky-dory, but internally she still wanted to be with Twilight. It was really hard for a long time. Now Twilight is saying that she never lost feelings? They could’ve made it work, somehow. At least, that’s what Pinkie thought. Her heartstrings tugged. No. This is my life now. I’m with Cheese Sandwich, and I’m due to have a foal in nine months. She… Pinkie soon got the same images Twilight did. Happy together, having a family. WHY DIDN’T SHE EVER TELL ME?! Pinkie sobbed and punched the nearest object out of anger, which happened to be her old wedding dress. She stared at it and held it against her chest.
Pinkie didn’t know if she still had feelings for Twilight. It had been so long, and she has this new life with Cheese now. They’re gonna be a family. Of course Twilight had to come in and mess things up again. “No…” Pinkie sighed as she slumped over. “I’m messing things up.” Pinkie thought over how she treated Twilight, how she felt about her, and their friendship, and then thought over her life with Cheese.
He had officially asked her out via dance performance, which made Pinkie giggle so hard she couldn’t say “yes” properly. They dated and were long distance at certain points as Cheese needed to go throw parties across Equestria, but he always found the most flattering ways to send something over. Like having an exploding confetti envelope or a hoof-stitched plushie. Pinkie remembered the day he decided to move in with her in Ponyville. How happy they both were. How he started bringing traction to the SugarCube Corner as an entertainer. He helped Pinkie bake and she had never felt happier.
Pinkie proposed to Cheese when she baked the engagement ring into a cupcake. He spit it out as he took a bite and immediately said yes. They were so happy, and their wedding was a huge party that was so fun, she never wanted it to end. Then the decision came to have children. They wanted to be parents.
Pinkie thought over her happy memories with Cheese Sandwich and sniffled as she wiped the tears off her face. She loved the life she was living. She loved Cheese. If Twilight can’t accept that, then maybe they shouldn’t be friends anymore. The thought alone made Pinkie nearly nauseous to think about, but it might need to happen if she keeps interfering, Pinkie thought.
Pinkie eventually walked out of the closet and Cheese was standing there holding a batch of cookies he had just finished baking. Cheese wasn’t great at baking sweets, he was better at savory foods, but nevertheless he always tries to put a smile on Pinkie Pie’s face, even if it meant baking cookies that weren’t very tasty. Pinkie jumped out and hugged him close and ate the cookies without hesitation. To her, they tasted like the sweetest treats in the world.
Twilight walked back to the castle, feeling utterly embarrassed and mad at herself. “I shouldn’t have said anything..” she mumbled to herself. She walked in without saying a word to Spike who was waiting at the door. “What was the big news?” Spike asked, concerned. “Sorry I couldn’t come, you know I’ve been busy lately. But I really wanna know!” Spike had been recently appointed as a Royal Guard from Twilight, so obviously he was busier than usual.
Twilight looked up to him and wore a fake smile. “Pinkie’s pregnant.” Twilight replied less-than-enthusiastically. “Woah! A mini Pinkie!” Spike exclaimed as he laughed endearingly at the thought of it. “That’s awesome!” Twilight nodded and headed for her room, not saying much else.
“Hey, you okay?” Spike asked. He sensed something was up. Twilight nodded. “I’m just beat, I promise.” she told him, not adding anything else to give away her ruse to avoid the awkward laughter moment with Pinkie being recreated.
“Oh, alright. Go get your rest. If you need me, I’ll be in the main hall.” Spike said as he walked the opposite direction. He knew something was wrong, but he wanted to give her space. They’d talk it out eventually. After all, Spike was Twilight’s first friend and basically adopted son. She can’t hide anything from him, can she?
Twilight’s body ached as she trudged to her bedroom. Ached with guilt, regret, anger, embarrassment. She knows she shouldn’t feel this way. She knew how stupid she was being, and she was genuinely happy for the couple. But, it was like a small mini, younger Twilight in her mind was yelling “PINKIE SHOULDN’T BE WITH HIM, SHE SHOULD BE WITH ME!” and she knew exactly how selfish and entitled that sounded. She was thankful for the fact that she wasn’t in love with Pinkie. At least not anymore. She knew it was just a crush that, similar to a pest or a weed, wouldn’t go away no matter how hard she tried to get rid of it.
Twilight sat up onto her desk and sighed, putting her head down. Am I really about to do this? She felt like an utter fool, and felt ashamed she had nowhere else to turn. She had never told Spike her feelings about Pinkie. In fact, she never told anyone other than Pinkie herself. She knew it would be too hard to explain to him, he was still just a kid.
Reluctantly, Twilight brought out some parchment paper and a quill. She was about to do something she hadn’t done in a very, very long time. But she knew this certain someone would be understanding.
“Ah, I see.” Princess Celestia responded after Twilight lamented to her. “The boat you’re in isn’t too far from one I used to be in, you know.” “You’re kidding.” Twilight replied in shock. “No, no. It’s true. I mean, I have lived for over a thousand years. Do you really think I’ve never fallen in love?” Twilight didn’t answer and kept quiet. In truth, she never thought about the concept of Celestia having someone to romantically love.
Celestia chuckled to herself. “It was a long time ago. I had recently become Princess as well, but I had a crush on one of my friends. Little did I know, they liked me back and ended up asking me out.” she started to explain. “I said yes and our relationship lasted a few months, but as you and I both know, it couldn’t continue. I told them this fact and they were pretty dejected about it, but I had no idea what else to do.” Celestia was silent for a few moments.
“Then what happened?” asked Twilight. “We moved on and accepted it.” she replied.
“Of course it was upsetting at first,” Celestia explained, “But that didn’t mean we couldn’t stay friends. It may be hard at first to separate the feelings, but you’ll get there. Other the years I’ve had many other crushes I knew I shouldn’t have gained. I haven’t felt that feeling in a long time, Twilight. But I’m not sad about it.” Twilight looked up to Celestia, dumbfounded. How did she never even consider Celestia having a love life? “There’s so many types of love out there. Even if you’re never in love, I doubt you’d ever feel alone.”
Twilight nodded. “Gee… I should go apologize to Pinkie, shouldn’t I?” “I would suggest so. You two have been friends for such a long time. It would truly break my heart to see a friendship broken up over a silly something like this.” Twilight hugged Celestia. “Thank you. I know I can always count on you.” Celestia smiled and wrapped her wing around her former student. “Of course.”
Twilight got home and saw Spike pacing out of stress. “Spike?” she called. He nearly jumped to the ceiling from the sudden mentioning of his name but calmed once he realized who said it. “Twilight! You’re okay!” He ran over and gave Twilight a hug. Twilight smiled and hugged him back. “Of course I’m okay! Why wouldn’t I be?” She almost forgot the way she entered the castle earlier. “You seemed so upset, and then you just up and disappeared! I was really worried. What’s going on???” Twilight realized she neglected to tell Spike any context. She sat him down and started explaining everything to him. From top to bottom.
“Wow. Are you… doing okay?” Spike asked when she was finished. “Yes. I’m taking Celestia’s advice. I’m going to talk to her tomorrow.” Spike smiled. “Good on you, Twilight. Why have you never told me any of this?” Twilight looked down scrunched her face a little. She knew how mean this was going to sound. “I guess I thought you were too young to understand, also it was really difficult for me to share for a long time.” “Too young? Twilight, I was your protégé! I was learning chemistry at age 5. If I could know that, then you could’ve come to me for your silly love life problems. You know I’m always here for you.” Twilight smiled and gave Spike another hug. “Thanks, Spike. I’m sorry I forgot that for a while.”
The next day, Twilight awoke early to try to make Pinkie Pie an apology cupcake. After studying the ingredients, and following them to a T, she got it down. It was a red velvet cupcake with a cream filling and pink icing with sprinkles. If Twilight knew anything about Pinkie, she was gonna love this. She wrapped the dessert up in a little present box and by the time she was done, everypony was awake as well.
She made her way to Sugarcube Corner and knocked on the door. Cheese Sandwich answered rather quickly. “Princess Twilight! Why, hello.” He greeted while doing a goofy bow. “What do you need?” “Hi, Cheese. Can I talk to Pinkie for a second?” Twilight requested. “Sure thing! KISSY-BEAR, TWILIGHT WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!” Cheese yelled. Twilight slightly cringed at the pet-name he gave her. At least I won’t have to use names like thatfor anyone. she thought to herself.
After a few moments, Pinkie reluctantly walked out, still looking pretty miffed. She turned away from Twilight dramatically, sitting down in an upright position as she crossed her arms. “Look, Pinkie… I wanted to apologize.” Pinkie’s ears perked up, but she didn’t move. “What I did to you wasn’t fair, I see that now. I just want to go back to being friends. I’m truly happy for you, and your relationship and there is no way I would ever want to interfere.” “That’s good.” Pinkie replied, still having her back facing Twilight. “Did I mention I happened to whip up something in the kitchen for you?” This made Pinkie turn around. Twilight slid the box forward and Pinkie opened it up, eating the cupcake inside without hesitation.
“Wow!” Pinkie exclaimed. “If I didn’t know better, you could be a baker! You should work at Sugarcube Corner.” She happily complimented Twilight in her natural cadence as she chewed. “So, everything’s good? We’re still friends?” Twilight managed to ask, even though it was obvious. “Duh!” She hopped up and gave Twilight one of her monster bear hugs.
“I’m sorry too. I got a little grumpy there, but I should’ve been more rational.” Pinkie confessed. “Don’t worry, Pinkie.” Twilight forgave. “What’s in the past is in the past.” She held out her hoof. Pinkie took it. “Of course! Twilight’s still my bestest friend, whoopee whoopee!” Pinkie sang. Twilight giggled and they shook hooves. “And I’m glad to be.”
