Chapter 31 - A Pinkie Pegasus?

Chapter 31 - A Pinkie Pegasus?

*Joshua’s P.O.V.*

It was a beautiful day at school next day.  Miss Cheerilee was teaching us a math lesson in multiplication, my favorite thing in math, near the end of the school day.  The school bell rang after Miss Cheerilee gave us our homework for today.  Diamond Tiara was surprised to see that I lost my pony ears when I came into the class room today, but while we were leaving, and while Nyx was in the bathroom, she came up to me.  I was afraid something would happen.

“Were those pony ears real or were they just a figment of my imagination?” she said walking around me.

I ignored her, but she kept going.

“Couldn’t handle being a pony, could you?” she said, “Too confusing, or...”

“Diamond Tiara, don’t bother him.”

I was surprised to hear Silver Spoon behind us.  Diamond Tiara was too.  She trotted up and stood in between me and Diamond Tiara.

“Whose side are you on Silver Spoon?” she asked her friend.

“There aren’t any sides Diamond Tiara,” Silver Spoon said, “If you can’t leave him alone, then you’ll have to find yourself a new best friend.”

“Fine,” Diamond Tiara said, “Who needs you anyway?” she then turned back to me, “And you,” she pointed a hoof at me, “Don’t think you’re off the hook.”  She then turned around and walked away.  Silver Spoon turned back around and looked at me.

“You okay?” she asked me.

“Yeah,” I said, “I’m fine.  I just ignored what she said to me.”

“Okay, just making sure.  By the way, what did happen to your ears?”

“Mom, her friends, and the princesses changed me back to normal.”  Silver Spoon smiled.

“That’s great!” she said happily, “Well, I need to get going.  See ya around, little guy.”  She then walked a few steps, but turned back around and waved at me.  I waved back and she started walking back.

“Hey little brother,” I heard Nyx call, “Is Twilight here yet?”  I looked down the road and saw her coming.

“There she is,” I pointed.

“Hello you two,” she said as we came up and hugged her.

“Hi Mom,” I said, “How is Spike?”

“He caught a bit of a cold last night,” she said sadly, “He should be fine in a couple days.”

“Poor Spike,” I said.

“Well, let’s get going you two,” Mom said.  I climbed onto Nyx’s back and we started going back to the library.  “Oh yeah, Pinkie Pie stopped me on the way over here.  She said that she has somepony she wants you to meet Joshua.”

“Okay,” I said.  I began to wonder what this pony would look like.

“So how was the slumber party last night you two?” Mom asked us.

“It was a lot of fun,” Nyx said, “We played a lot of games before dinner, and after dinner we made Dinky a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.”

“She was really happy about it too,” I added, “I really had fun last night.”

“I’m glad to hear that Joshua,” Mom said.  We soon were walking through Ponyville market, then we heard a voice.

“Hey Twilight!”

It was Pinkie.  She was standing outside Sugarcube Corner with a big smile on her face.

“Hey Pinkie,” Mom said, “How’s it going?”

“It’s going great!” Pinkie said, “The friend I want Joshie to meet is here too!”

I looked around us, but didn’t see anyone else.

“Where?” I asked Pinkie.

“She’s right here!”

I looked back at Pinkie and saw that she had opened up a pair of white wings.

“Pinkie?” I asked her, “When did you grow wings?”  Pinkie giggled.

“That’s not me,” she said, “It’s my friend!”  She bounced back and I saw a white pegasus mare with a yellow mane and tail that was poofy like Pinkie’s.  She had purple eyes and a cutie mark like Pinkie’s, but the balloons were all purple.

“Hi there!” she said, “I’m Surprise!  It’s nice to meet you Joshie!  Pinkie told me a lot about you!  I’ve always wanted to meet a human too!”

“You look a lot like Pinkie,” I said looking at her.  Surprise giggled.

“I know!  And we both like parties too!  It’s like she’s my Earth pony twin!”

“You sound like her too,” I said.

“Yep!” Pinkie said, “I was surprised myself when I first met her...”

“...so even though the two of us started on the wrong hoof, we became great friends in the end,” Pinkie finished.

“That’s a great story,” I said, “I really hope I can visit Cloudsdale someday.”

“Speaking of Cloudsdale,” Surprise said, “I need to get back home.  It was great meeting you Joshie!  See ya in Cloudsdale someday?”

“Sure Surprise,” I said.  She then bounced up to me and picked me up in a hug.

“See ya Surprise!” Pinkie said as Surprise flew away.

“Well, we need to get going Pinkie,” Mom said, “See you around okay?”

“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie said, “Bye Twilight!  Bye Nyxie!  Bye Joshie!”  She then bounced back inside Sugarcube Corner, and Mom, Nyx, and I went back to the library.  When we entered in, I felt something land on my head.

“Owloysius, is that you?” I asked.

“Who.”

“You.  Is that you?”

“Who.”

“Never mind,” I said.
