Where's my pumpkin?By Bobette
On one average, sunny day in Ponyville, a little mare awoke from her peaceful slumber. Smiling as the sun poured through her window, she slowly got up from her bed , and walked over to her dressing table, brushing her knotty mane.
"Good morning, my little pumpy-wumpy! How did u sleep?" Asked the mare, talking to her... Pumpkin.
There was no reply.
"Oh, quite this morning aren't you?" She said, giggling.
As you may be able to tell, this mare is sort of... Strange... Yet, she was still a lovely, kind pony. Her name is Pipper. Pipper's life revolved around pumpkins. Her cutiemark was a pumpkin with a few pumpkin seeds next to it. Her room was all orange, she worked on the pumpkin farm with her family all day, she only ate pumpkins, and she herself, was all pumpkin colours.
Her body was a light yellow, and her muzzle was a dark orange that faded into the rest of her fur colour. Her eyes were a very light green, and her hair was a medium tone of orange, with a few slightly darker stripes in it. Pipper's mane is wavy and tightly curled at the ends, and she wore a little grey bow at the top of her tail, and had a few freckles on her plump cheeks as well. Yes, Pipper sure was a cute little mare.
Pipper had a favourite pumpkin, who always slept in its own bed, and is basically treated like her own little, pumpkin son. There was no specific reason she loved that pumpkin either. It wasnt her first pumpkin, or her largest, or smallest, or the prettiest, or the one that smelt the nicest, or was the strongest pumpkin. Nope, nothing about it was special at all. It was just like every other. She just loved that one... For some strange reason! Now usually, that pumpkin would be right next to her throughout the night. Sleeping peacefully in its own bed.
But this morning... Well, this morning, he wasn't there. It was only until Pipper went to cuddle her pumpkin-son when she noticed. Her bright emerald eyes widened and she gasped.
"Uhh, um, pumpy-wumpy? Heh-heh, are you playing hide and seek? Come out please! NOW!!" She said, very nervously, shaking slightly.
"Umm, pumpkin, dear. This is NOT funny anymore, where are you?!" She was almost shouting now. Poor Pipper looked frantically round her pumpkin scented room, for the lost pumpkin. She could not find him.
"Oh pumpy-wumpy?!?! Please! Where ARE you!? I'm sorry I forgot to hug you extra tight yesterday! Is that it? Oh, or do you want more food? Or a bath? Or a play date with your friends in the soil? No, the special soil? What do you want my love?! ANYTHING FOR YOU!"
Pipper was dramatically sobbing or her bed, when Granny Kin came running in. Slowly though, since she is old.
"Why Pipper dear. What's de matter?" Granny Kin asked, looking around for her since she was almost blind.
"Oh Granny, I-I, I.... I CAN'T FIND MY PUMPKIIIIIIN!!!"
Granny Kin's tiny, almost blind eyes widened as she gasped.
"Why-why, you don't mean..."
"I'VE LOST MY PUMPY-WUMPY!!!!" Cried Pipper, lifting her head, revealing a waterfall of tears streaming down her face.
Granny frowned. She hated seeing Pipper sad.
"W-well Celestia darn it! Go find him!" Snapped Granny Kin, stomping her wrinkly hoof on the floor.
"B-but how?"
"Well ah don't know! He's YOUR pumpkin!"
Pipper nodded, letting a small smile creep onto her face. She knew how to get her beloved pumpkin back.
"Granny, go inform the others, I've got a pumpkin to find!" She said inspirationally.
......
Then they stood in silence. For a while.
"Well go find him! Dis aint no movie where we just go to the next scene! Ya need to get movin!"
So as Pipper ran through Ponyville, knocking innocent mares and stallions out the ways, Granny Kin went to inform the rest of the pumpkin family.
"Everypony? Where are y'all!? Family emergency!" Called Granny Kin, aimlessly wandering around the house.
"Where are all in here Grandmother Kin!"" Called the most posh filly in Ponyville.
"Where is here?!"
"Ugh, in the living room you old mother******" shouted Rotten Pumpkin. Everypony hated her.
"Im sorry but you sh-shouldn't use that language..." Replied Amber Cup. Who was one of the most sweetest little mares ever!
Granny Kin shook her head, and slowly walked toward the living room.
"Hey everypumpkin... We have a family emergency!" Said Granny.
Everypony gasped. Except Rotten Pumpkin. She didnt care.
"Oh no! What happened Granny Kin?!" Asked Amber Cup
"Yes grandmother, what ever is the matter?" Said Jacko Lantern, the posh filly.
"Why are so annoyingly posh?" Rotten Pumpkin said, rudely.
"LISTEN GUYS!" Said Big Rock, a tough but quite stallion.
Everyone shut up. Only Rotten Pumpkin let out a small grunt in annoyance.
"Thank ya Big Rock. Well, today it turns out our precious little Pipper has lost her... Pumpkin..."
Silence.
Granny looked around the room, waiting for a reaction. But, as she expected, no pony really cared that much. They all thought Pipper was a little... well, crazy! But they acted like it was perfectly normal, just so she wouldn't have a meltdown. Even Rotten made some effort. Jacko was the first to break the silence.
"Oh...Dear... Is she.. Ok?"
"Of course she not OKAY! She friggin cuckoo for Celestia's sake!" Snapped Rotten.
"Oh. Oh no." Whimpered Amber.
Big Rock stayed silent.
"Well?! What are we gonna do?!" Asked Granny.
"Nothing. Nopony cares about that weirdo. Let her look for that stupid pumpkin all she likes, at least she's not in the house anymore! Friggin annoying me!"
"Rotten! Why that's quite rude!" Said Jacko.
"Shut up misfit."
"Oi! We need to do somethin! Should we go look for... It?" Asked Granny, unsure.
"Oh, um.. We could get some of Ponyville to help..?" Suggested Amber.
"Naaap..." Replied Big Rock, simply.
"We could get a unicorn who can cast a magic spell to help us find the pumpkin!" Said Jacko.
"Ugh. You guys are so stupid. Just replace the dumb pumpkin with another dumb pumpkin, and say we found it. Like that psycho idiot will know the difference!" Said Rotten.
"Rotten! Why we couldn't do that! That's terribly mean! Poor Pipper will be so sad!" Amber said, suddenly cowering when Rot gave her an evil glare.
"Why, actually, that's not a bad idea! Well done Rotten! You've actually been helpful for once!" Said Granny Kin.
"Exactly! Finally you fools are actually listening to me ! Wait... I haven't been helpful ONCE! I'm always the smart mare round here!" Cried Rot angrily. But no pony was listening to her.
"Well, why don't we go and find our dearest Pipper a wonderful pumpkin!" Said Jacko, hopping up and making his way to the farm.
"Yeeees." Said Big Rock, following.
"Ooohh! She'll be so happy!" Amber said, clapping her hooves as she got up to join them.
"Come on Rotten, lets go." Granny said, tilting her head towards the door.
"Ugh. I just gave you idea! Haven't I done enough already?!" She moaned,but followed Granny anyways.
**~________________________________________________~**
Pipper was franticaly running like a snail coz she's pretty slow....through the streets of Ponyvillie. It was sunny and warm, but it her eyes, it was grey and raining because the love of her life was lost and all alone, most likely being held captive by pony thugs in a dark cellar. Well, in her eyes, as i said before. As she slowly ran, she barged many happy ponies doing shopping out the way, and crushed pretty flowers that ponies where watering. She was making her way to Princess Celestia to inform her of the tragic news, when she bumped into Pinkie pie.
"Hey! Slow dow- well, be careful where you're going Pipper, I have two fillies on me!"
Pinkie was pushing a pram with Pound and Pumpkin cake in side, giggling at the hilarious rattle.
"Pinkie! We've already told you about abducting our filly!"
"What? They're not yours silly! I think you're confused"
"No, I'm not. Pumpkin cake is our filly, she belongs to the pumpkin family! Duh!"
"No she doesn't, she's ours!"
"Ugh, keep her! I need to find my pumpkin, i can't waste time arguing over fillies."
"Umm... ok, good luck..." Said Pinkie, unsure.
So Pipper continued her search, and Pinkie continued her walk.
_____________________________________________________
Finally I'm free. Free where I'm meant to be. Free where I belong. I just couldn't take her annoying voice anymore. Her over-protectiveness. Her stupid NICKNAMES. I had to go... It's not my fault...I'm not bad. Anypony would leave if they had to live with her.
"That one is quite pretty... And about the same size" Mumbled Amber Cup, pointing to a small, pristine pumpkin.
"Personally, I rather think that one is quite a bit more accurate to Pipper's pumpkin" declared Jacko, tapping another pumpkin.
"WAIT. Ah think I've found it! Dis one is perfect!" Granny Kin lifted a pumpkin, similar enough to Pipper's, above her head.
"It's perfect!" Whispered Amber cup.
Big rock nodded and jacko gasped, "Marvellous!" he breathed.
"Pft, it's just as ugly as you"
"Shut up, Rot" Granny said bluntly, making Rot grunt in disgust.
"Well, who want's to go out and find her?"
Nopony volunteered.
