Being an Angel

After the slight scare for both AJ and Saving; AJ thought that it would be a better idea to go get something to eat and head home. Hopefully a less eventful lunch and a good rest for saving will keep him calmed down enough. “What do ya want fer yer lunch?” AJ asked looking back at the small colt lying on her back. “I want sweets; I have never had sweets before.” AJ looked at him with slight shock in her face; ‘Never had sweet before? How is that possible; when I was his age that’s all I wanted- That and apple fritters…’ AJ shook her head and snapped back to reality. “Sure thing hun’, I know just the place!” She said with a smile.

After a few minutes of walking the came up to AJ intended destination- Sugar Cube Corner. AJ walked up to the door and opened it to reveal the bakery and all its customers. As she walked up to the line for the counter she looked back at a sleeping Saving on her back and gently woke him up; once he was finally awake she asked “What do ya want to eat?” He looked over the menu hanging from the ceiling and though for a second. “What is a cup-cake?” he asked trying his hardest to pronounce the word. She thought for a moment thinking of how to explain it when a hyper pink blur morphed out of her peripheral vision. AJ immediately forget her thoughts and told Saving that some very hyper was going to come and say “Hi” and that he did not need to be scarred at all. He looked down at AJ with a strange look and said “Okay, but I don’t get what that-“

Before he could finish that statement the pink blur AJ spotted earlier was right on top of her looking at the young colt in amazement. “Oooooooooooooo- Applejack,Ididn’tknowyouhadanotherbrother!” AJ looked at her than back at saving who was more shocked than scarred of the hyper pink mare. “Hold on Pinks, before y’all go off on one of yer tangents- this is Saving Angel; he’s not my brother he is just a foal- who got lost in the Everfree and stumbled into my orchard. He is also very skittish so you need to be calm around him; at least until he gets used to you okay?” AJ said with a look on her face that came off with more hatred than she actually intended. Pinkie shook her head violently in what AJ assumed was a ‘yes’ notion. “Okay. Hi little guy! My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but everyone calls me Pinkie Pie and so can you!” she said in a much calmer and quieter voice, but with a huge grin still plastered to her face.

“Hello me name is Saving Angel-“

“Ooooooooooo- That’s a funny accent you got there! What is it?” Pinkie said with a quizzical look on her face.

“I think that somepony said it be Neighlic.”

“Ooooooooooo- That’s different! I loooove different! I think we are going to be great friends!” She said as she dashed off into the kitchen for some unknown reason.

“Well, I think that went well.” AJ said looking back at Saving. “Want to try that cupcake now?”

“Yes please, mumma!” He said with a growing smile on his face.

‘Apparently somepony got to him and made him smile, that’s good’ AJ thought with a smile on her face.
