Dressing, salad, cranberry sauce? Check. Drinks? Check. Everything else? Check - except the gravy. Spikes still cooking it. I stood proudly of the meal me and Spike put together - but I coudn't help feel a bit guilty. We all agreed - except pinkie, of course. - to not invite Pinkie pie for our thanksgiving dinner. Even though its mean to disclude a friend, we all need a break from...well, Pinkie. My thoughts were intruded by the doorbell.
''Coming!'' I shouted.
''Who is it?''
I trotted toward the door. Even though I didn't expect Pinkie to come here, you can't take chances. ''Its us, you egghead!'' The young pegasus snickered. She seemed in a good mood. I opened the door.
''Come in! Dinners almost ready.''
Rainbow dash almost immediantly flew to the table.
''When we gonna eat?'' She asked hungrily.
''Now Rainbow Dash, you should always be nice to your host.'' Rarity scolded
''Ah, let er' be.''
The orange mare smiled, followed by taking off her hat and holding it to her chest.
''Its real nice of ya' to let us' have a Thanksgivin' dinner''.
I smiled. It was my idea after all.
''Cut the chit-chat! Lets eat!'' Rainbow called from the table, licking her lips eagerly.
Rarity frowned in disgust. I could tell she wanted to scold Dashie for her rude manners.
''Well, I am getting hungry.''
I gestured them toward the table and sat down. Spike came in with the gravy. I'm not a cook, but I could tell you gravy isn't supposed to be that thin.
''Good work, Spike.''
The young dragon smiled and sat with the other mares.
''Woah! That gravy is really thin! What happened?'' Rainbow said bluntly.
I was getting a bit mad, dashie was being rude. I handed her the pot of gravy.
''Hey, dashie, since you're strong, why don't you stir the gravy so it gets thicker?''
By the look in her eye, you knew she took it as a challenge. She grabbed the spoon in the pot and began to stir it faster and faster. Bits of gravy flew everywhere.
''Squea..'' Fluttershy peeped out.
''Now ah' wait Rainbow, ya can't stir it 'hat fast. It'll make it thinner.''
She took the pot and started to stir it at a better pace. Rarity glared at Rainbow, and she glared right back. They didn't look as if the were gonna get in a fight, so I didn't do anything. I started to spread around a large bowl of cranberry sauce. Then we all started passing down plates and bowls of different foods, and finally got down to eating. Rarity was the first to break the noise of clanking forks and chewing.
''You must've seen the amount of bussiness I got yesterday! At this pace, I'll be able to move to canterlot in no time!~''
She stared dreamily into space. Weren't worried, Rarity was a dreamer. She always said she'd move to Canterlot and such, but never did. We all just nodded our heads in aggreement. Our mouths were to full to say anything.
As I finished my second serving of dressing, We all heard a loud knock on the door. We all froze. It was followed by a familiar voice.
''H-ello?''
Oh no! What happened? I began thinking of reasons why she was here..lets see, It was Decemeber 23..Christmas party! I should've known! Neverless, I'll scold myself later.
''Hide!'' A loud whisper/yell came out of Rainbowdash.
She knows Pinkie better then all of us, so we better do what she says. I found my hiding place under the kitchen sink in the cabinets, and the other found theres. A loud bang was followed by a shut of the door. This was too familiar. Anytime I woudn't answer the door, Pinkie thought the worst and kicked the door open. She meant well, but my door had to be replaced 27 times! Well, 28 now.
''Twilight?! Spike?! What happened?! I coudn't find you anywhere! Oh please be alright! Pretty, Pretty please with a donut on top!
I took a risk and opened the cabinet doors a bit, just enough to see. Then I noticed something. Fluttershys tail was sticking out from the table! We'd be discovered at any moment!
I closed the doors. I just wanted a nice, late thanksgiving dinner. Is that too much to ask?! I listened.
''Flutters! There you are! What happened?! Is that salad?''
Word by word, Flutters explained it all, bursting into tears halfway. I felt bad for her. Poor mare. I shoudn't have dragged her into this. I feel horrible. I heard a deflating sound. Huh? I looked out again. Pinkie was walking out the door, tears in her eyes, and a straight mane. Oh no.. We need to make this up to her! With a silent creak, Pinkie was out the door.
Moments later, we all were at the table. Noone was eating and it was silent. They must've saw it too.
''So, Uh, Twi, how do ya' suppose we make it up' to her? I'm plum outta ideas.''
''I don't know..''
I responded. After a moment of silence, Rarity spoke up with a smug grin.
''Lets reunite the Inkie and Blinkie sisters so Pinkie Pie can have a dinner with them!''
We all looked at her like she was crazy. Then Applejack spoke up.
''Well, ah them sisters been' seperate too lon'. Be nice too see a family' together. Coudn't imagine what its like without a supportin' family, an' it looks as if Pinkie needs some supportin' now.''
We all gave glances at each other. It could work, I suppose, but how?
''Uh..m-maybe we can fix a C-Christmas dinner for Pinkie and her sisters? I mean.. if thats ok with you..''
''That sounds wonderful flutters dear! And maybe we can add candles and flowers an-''
I piped in.
''Uh, Rarity, its a Christmas dinner..''
''Oh right..'' she blushed.
''Well, lets begin!''
After searching through newspaper clippings, addresses and multiple rock farm suggestions, We finally found it!
''Girls, look! I found the address!'' I bursted out.
''How do you know its the right one, dear?'' Rarity spoke.
''Because its called ''Inkie and Blinkie rock farm assoc.''
''Where is it located? I'm so bored, now theres something to do!'' Rainbow called happily.
''Equestria, Canterlot, road mockingjay.''
Weeellll, What are waiting for? Lets go!~'' Rainbow blared.
''Well, this is it.'' I doubled check the addess. No point in screwing up now. We walked to the door. Well, I walked. Fluttershy got nervous and hid behind a giant rock. Rarity refused to step in the mud and rocks because, and I qoute, was too ''dirty'' for her. Apple jack went to a nearby apple farm to help out. Rainbowdash decided she'd rather fly around, leaving only me too convince the sisters. Well, here we go.
I knocked on the door a couple of times before Inkie answered.
''Who are you?''
''I'm Twilight Sparkle. Pleased to meet you! I stuck out my hoof generously. She just stared at it.
''What do you want?'' Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
''I'm sure you're aware its nearly Christmas, and I would like to ask you and your sister to a Christmas Eve dinner. With your sister, Pinkie Pie of course.'' I smiled. Oh pretty please accept!
''....'' She turned silent.
''With my sister?'' I nodded.
Suddenly, It seemed as if a light bulb went on. A merry, happy lightbulb.
''BLINKIE!'' She called, louder then needed.
A Grey-and-Greyer mare hopped in the room.
''What?''
''This girl can reunite Pinkie pie and us!''
Me and Inkie looked hopefully at the mare. Blinkie started too look dimmer then before. Her eyes seemed to be suddenly filled with hate. She ran up to the door.
''Go Away! I never want to see you or Pinkie ever again!'' With a whack, she slammed the door. Now I started to feel a bit angry to. All that work for nothing! I knocked again. a ''GO AWAY'' responded.
''I just simply don't know what went wrong! Why does she hate Pinkie so much?'' I whined.
They all fell silent. After a couple of minutes, which seemed like hours, Someone spoke up.
''Twilight, I knew Pinkie better then anypony else, and....Well, I knew her family too. As fillys, Pinkie and Blinkie never got along. She was the only pony who didn't get along with Pinkie. Blinkie always felt that her father like Pinkie more then her.''
After a couple of glances at each other, some shocked, some sympathetic, some desperate, we all silently made up a plan.
If Blinkie didn't want to come to Pinkie, then we'll bring Pinkie to Blinkie.
