Moving in with Pinkie Pie

I was on my way home from school one day when Spike slowly started passing me.  He had a huge wagon full of gems on his back.

"uh, Spike?"

He stopped and looked at me, "oh, hey Sweets."

"Wanna hand?"

"Um, yeah sure."

He got out from under the wagon and I got into the saddle.  It was pretty heavy, but i can manage.  "Where are you going with the wagon anyway?"

"Umm, well, I was on my way to Rarity's.  I wanted to surprise her with these."

"but I thought you ate the gems?"

"I do, but for Rarity, I can defiantly go without eating them."

"oh, okay then."

We walked to Rarity's in silence after that. We were almost to Rarity's when he took the wagon back.

Walking back i realized that

A) Spike and I were both fatherless, seeing as Twilight had him since he was an egg

and B) I wished I had someone who cared about me as much as Spike cared about Rarity.

I couldn't think too much about either of these however, because somepony fell on me.  I looked up and saw Pinkie Pie's hot air balloon.  One of her stunts, no doubt.  Then I looked at the pony who fell on me.  He had a black and green mane, light green eyes, earrings, and his cutiemark was a black balloon with HE written inside it.

"Sorry!" he said, getting off of me and pulling me up.

"I would be mad, but I know how Pinkie Pie works."

"Hehe, yeah. My name is Helium Enthusiasm. Call me Enth (pronounced Nth)."
