After Death

Pinkie Pie couldn't help but let out her excitement and glee as the straight jacket she had been kooped up in for nearly her entire stay in the assylum was finally taken off of her.

She hopped up and down for the first time in what felt like forever, squeeling happily. "Wheeeeeeeee!" she cried out, her entire body feeling warm.

Nurse Jackie chuckled. "Well Pinkie Pie, todays the day. You finally get to go back to Ponyville!" she said, her smile wavering a bit.

Pinkie Pie stopped hopping, hugged Nurse Jackie, and starting hopping again with her caring nurse still in her grasp. "Oooooooooh! I'm gonna miss you SO SO SOOO much Jackie!!" she said in a sad tone, not matching her nature. "I think I'm gonna cry!" she said and started sobbing softly, as she slowly stopped bouncing.

Nurse Jackie held her in a warm, welcoming hug. "Shhhhh... it's gonna be ok, Pinkie." she cooed softly into the pink mares ear. "Your gonna get to go home and see your frie-" she stopped ubruptly.

The pink maned pony looked up into Nurse Jackies emerald green eyes with her own saphire blue ones. "I know, you don't have to say it. They probably all hate me..."

Nurse Jackie hugged her again. "It's ok, you can make new friends."

Pinkie Pie looked at the floor while still wrapped in Nurse Jackie's fore hooves. "I know... but these girls were special to me. Espicially Dashie..." she began sobbing again, a little louder this time.

Nurse Jackie broke the hug and reached for a box of tissues sitting on her work bench cart behind her. She passed it to Pinkie, who took a tissue and gingerly blew her nose. "Thank you." She said bleakly to Jackie, her voice filled with tears.

The clock across the hall from Pinkie's cell rang. Nurse Jackie's ears pricked up. "Uh oh. I'm late for feeding Dark LIght! Well, I better go. Good bye, Pinkie. It was nice knowing you." She said with tears filling her voice. "Come visit me sometime, please, if you can." She hugged Pinkie for possibly the last time and then turned, envelloped her cart with her magic, and slowly trotted away from the pink mare, wiping tears from her eyes.

"I will! I promise you I will as soon as possible!" Pinkie cried, running after the mare with a yellow mane and encasing her in a huge bear hug. "I'm gonna miss you SOOO much, Jackie!" she sobbed into the white mare's shoulder. Nurse Jackie had been the only pony who understood her, the only pony she could open up to... and the only friend she had. Just the thought of this made her cry harder.

Jackie stopped moving, startled. She relaxed and hugged the now shaking mare and stroked her mane comfortingly. "Shh... shh... it's ok, Pinkie, we will see eachother again, I promise."

What they didn't know, is that some promises are impossible to keep.
