Reunited

In an apartment at the outskirts of Manehattan, two cheerful ponies and a toothless alligator was sitting at a table with numerous plates with tasty looking dishes on them. The ponies was laughing and staring happily into each-others eyes.

"...And then I said; oatmeal? Are you crazy!?" The pink pony bursted out in a laughing fit, rolling on the floor while the alligator held on for his life in the mane of the mare.

"Hahaha! Oh, Pinkie. That one never gets old," the stallion said. He wiped a tear out of his eye and watched the pink mare crawling up on her chair again. She proceeded to sip on the tomato soup, and sighed in delight when the tastes flooded her mouth.

"Mmm, Cheese this is amazing! I didn't know you cooked so well!" Pinkie said, proceeding to heave the soup down into her mouth.

"Thanks Pinkie. I'm glad you enjoy it. After all, this is our anniversary." Pinkie and Cheese continued to talk and laugh, but was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

"I'll get it!"Pinkie said, bouncing down to the hall and opened the door. She was greeted with a grey coated guard.

"Are you miss Pinkamena?" He said, causing Pinkie to wave dismissive with her hoof.

"That's me! But please, just call me Pinkie."

"Miss Pinkie, Princess Twilight sent you a letter." He handed over the letter and saluted. Pinkie waved him off and then returned to Cheese who sat with a confused look and an alligator sucking his ear.

"What was that about?"he asked.

"I don't know more than it is from Twilight. Oh, it feels like I haven't seen her in months!"

"But you haven't seen her in months." Pinkie gasped at the realization, and quickly proceeded to rip the envelope open.

"You're right! How could I have forgotten about them! They're like, my bestest friend in the whole world! Ohohoh! I bet Twilight has planned some super neat reunion with cake and punch and friend talk!"

"There's only one way to find out!" Cheese said, waiting patiently for Pinkie to read the letter that was inside the envelope. After a moment of Pinkie muttering under her breath, she lit up like a candle.

"I was right! And it's today! But, that means I'll have to leave you on our couple for a year anniversary."she said, her hair deflating a little. Seeing how distraught Pinkie was at the situation, Cheese couldn't do any other than letting her love go.

"Aww, it's alright sugar. You go have fun with your friends, I won't be mad."

"R-really?"

"If it makes you happy, then I'm happy." Cheese didn't know how, he just got sealed in a bone crushing hug.

"Cheese you're the bestest! I'll never judge you again! And when I come home, we'll have a party you'll never forget!" Happy tears streamed down Pinkies face, and after a while she broke the hug."I'll have to go now, don't wanna miss the train. I love you, Cheese." Pinkie gave him a quick peck on the cheek and then trotted out from the apartment.

"And I love you to." Cheese had walked beside Pinkie and smiled. Pinkie smiled back, walking backwards out of the door and closed it. She let out a happy sigh.

It was a short walk to the train station, all she had to do was buy a ticket and wait. While sitting on a bench at the train station, Pinkie gazed out into the crowd of ponies walking or trotting past her. Some of them smiled at Pinkie, some others waved, but the majority just ignored the pink stranger. She had been able to make some friends here, but not as many as in Ponyville. Suddenly, a song popped up in her head. A familiar tune, cheerful and bright. A song she sang in Ponyville, describing how happy she was to see smiles of her friends. She started to sing it. First a little quiet, then out loud, and finally she began walking trough the crowd singing. Some was giving her confused and disapproving glares, others just smiled. There were a few that walked behind her, singing the song like they already knew it. Pinkie started bouncing her way towards he train, and the conductor had dropped his pocket watch, staring surprised out in the large crowd of ponies with Pinkie in top, singing and bouncing their way towards him. They came to a stop at the entrance of the train, where Pinkie stepped aboard and waved to all the ponies in Manehattan that was her friends. But honestly, they couldn't replace the special bond she shared with the other five element bearers. Soon, the train started to move, drifting further away from the station. There were few ponies in her coupe, two of whom were sleeping, the others was occupied in their jobs or entertainments. Sadly, it didn't look like she would get company on the train today. Instead,she looked out the window, seeing Manehattan disappear, leaving Gummy, Cheese and a fun and bustling city behind her. She turned her gaze forward, looking out in a beautiful landscape, full with flowers in bustling colors, trees and bushes that made a dazzling forest. Suddenly, the speakers cracked, and a deep tuned voice began to speak.

"We're calculated to arrive in Ponyville in ten minutes. Please gather up your belongings and make sure you're leaving nothing behind when we arrive. We hope you've had a nice ride with the Manehattan express."

Pinkie grabbed her suitcase and walked to the doors of the trains. She looked out of the window at the door and saw the Ponyville train station getting closer. Eventually it came to a stop, and Pinkie jumped out through the doors. She saw many familiar faces, and earned a big amount of smiles and waves, even some 'Hi Pinkie!' or 'Pinkie! Long time no see!'. Pinkie wished she had four pairs of eyes and eight legs, so she would be able to greet all her old friends. But she focused at the main task at hoof. She had to figure out were Twilight was, 'cause she hadn't written an address. Hmm, if I was an unicorn who loved books and wanted to talk with her friends, where should I go? I know! The library! With a smile, Pinkie made her way to the library, confident in her decision. Soon she arrived, and pushed the door open.

"Hello? Twiiiliight! You in here?" Pinkie shouted, but to no avail. She sighed and wondered where she would search now, until her thoughts was interrupted by a missed voice.

"Pinkie! Dearie, I haven't seen you in forever! Are you searching for Twilight?" Pinkie turned around to stand face to face with her 'step mother'.

"Mrs. Cake! Hii! Oh, how are the twins doing? And do you know where Twilight is?"

"Me and my husband are doing great, so does the twins. But they've missed you, Pinkie Pie. Heavens, ever since you and Cheese started to date and plan parties together, it feels like you disappeared! And about Twilight, i think she went to the little park a the outskirts of Ponyville, the one with the pond, you know?"

"Oh, that one. Well, I don't wanna keep her waiting! But I pinkie promise to visit you really soon!" Pinkie gave Mrs. Cake a hug and bounced in the right direction to Twilight. After a little while, she spotted Twilight sitting on a blanket and bounced the way to her.

"TWILIGHT! It's been, like, FOREVER since we met!" Twilight turned her head around and smiled widly.

"I know, right!" She said standing up and gave Pinkie a big hug which she returned."I've missed you so much! We have a lot to catch up on." Twilight and Pinkie talked for a while, but soon they heard galloping and saw to taxis that a pegasus and a unicorn sat in.
