I'm not a foal

Katie woke up to a sharp pain poking her. She sat up in the crib she slept in and came face to face with Discord. "Sooooo. How was your first day being a foal?" He asked.

"Different," Katie replied.

"Was it fun? I imagine that you were so confused when you looked at the letter I sent to Twilight."

"Wait you sent it?" The draconequus nodded. "Was something wrong in Canterlot?" He shook his head. "That means you just wanted me to go to Pinkie's house!" She accused

"BINGO!" He screamed.

"Why? Can't you tell I don't like her?"

"Exactly. When I saw that you didn't get along with her I thought I might give you a bonding experience, But then you got tired and skipped it. Luckily Twilight is still gone for a few hours so you can make up for lost time." He appeared right next to her and put an arm around her shoulder. "Tell me what did you learn so far?"

Katie shifted uncomfortably. "Well I found out that Twilight can be a little over protective about ponies she cares about," she thought back to how Pinkie cared for her last night. Not wanting to tell Discord this she said something else. "I learned that I really like the banana flavoured food."

Discord looked at her. "Is that all you learned?" He asked Katie nodded her head. "Are you sure you didn't learn anything else specifically something about Pinkie Pie?"

Katie looked down to the mattress. "I also learned that Pinkie Pie doesn't try to make ponies laugh she tries to make ponies happy. Sometimes she goes the wrong way of doing it, but that is okay because she tries a different way and succeeds every time."

She looked up and saw Discord with a smile on his lips. "Well done you passed the first lesson. Now w-"

Before he could continue the door opened revealing Pinkie Pie. The sudden intrusion caused Discord to vanish luckily without Pinkie seeing him.

"Hello Katie,  did you have a nice sleep?" Pinkie asked while walking to the crib Katie sat in. "I thought all night about what games we could play before Twilight gets here." The pink earth pony grabbed Katie an placed her on a changing table, "we could play hide and seek, bake cupcakes, prank Rainbow Dash, go treasure hunting, fight timber wolves in the everfree forest, or teach you to fly." Pinkie suggested without stopping to breathe.

Katie looked down to see that Pinkie managed to change her even better than Twilight had. She then thought about the ideas that Pinkie Pie said. Back when she was an adult Katie used to go into the everfree regularly to kill timber wolves, she liked it so much that she considered it a sport, she was even paid sometimes. Being small and unable to buck would mean she would probably be eaten so that was out of the question.

While Katie thought what activity wouldn't somehow kill her Pinkie put her on her back and took her to the kitchen. The tiny pegasus was sat on the table waiting for Pinkie to give her food poisoning. "Now," she began, "we don't have any foal food, but we have the next best thing." She sang.

"I swear if you try t-." She was cut off from her threat when something very delicious was crammed into her mouth.

"CUPCAKES." Pinkie sceamed effectively making Katie death in the ear closest to the pony carrying a tray of cupcakes.

She tried to chew the food in her mouth but her lack of teeth made it impossible. Not wanting to loose out on equestrias greatest cupcakes she kept trying to chew the cupcake all the while making funny faces that caused Pinkie to giggle. After what felt like an eternity the cupcake was small enough to swallow. She looked up to the now gigging earth pony expecting another one only to see an empty silver tray in front of her.

Pinkie stopped gigging to pick up the pegasus. "Wow, I didn't expect you to eat that I could have gone to the store, but it's great to know you like my cooking." Pinkie said with a smile. The next destination for the duo was a lounge type room above the shop. When they arrived Pinkie threw the foal on a couch and opened the curtains allowing the light of yhe sun in the room. In said room was two couches ,one of which Katie sat on, a box in the corner and a TV directly in front of the couch. It was extremely rare to see a television outside of Canterlot, but considering Pinkie Pie resides here it wasn't hard to believe.

Pinkie was in the middle of the room looking around as if she lost something. Then she saw it, the big box in the corner. Pinkie rushed over to Katie and put her on the floor. Then ran back over to the box and stood on her hind legs to grab it with her fore legs. When she was above Katie she tipped it upside down so its contents rained onto the now very scared foal. Katie looked up to see what would crush her, but smiled happily as stuffed animals rained from the heavens.

They all landed around her, different kinds of animals. Every single was bright pink except one that somehow landed behind the sofa. It had all sorts of animal parts on its body and looked like the same pony who put her in this mess. Pinkie saw her staring at the discarded toy and grabed it. "Hey," she giggled "this one looks like Discord." She placed it next to Katie and went to sit opposite her.

While Pinkie moved around Katie was pretty sure she saw the toy wink to her. She brushed it off as her mind playing trick with her and looked to the now settled earth pony. "These were all mine when I was your age," she sighed "but now I want you to have them because I want you to remember the best foal sitter ever." She said quickly. "And I can't hold on to the past forever." She muttered to her self.

"Now let's-" she was interrupted by a loud knocking on the shops front door. "Coming!"She shouted to whoever knocked. Katie was left in the room alone, or so she thought.  She looked back at the Discord toy and got ready to buck it as hard as she could. Her legs launched at it but were stopped when a lion paw grabbed them. "Now, now it's not polite to hit others toys," Discord scolded.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"I came to say high after our meeting was interrupted earlier."

"Really?" She questioned.

"Well, that and to tell you your mother is not very happy with me."

"That's what you get when you send her all the way to Canterlot."

Hoof steps were heard coming from multiple ponies coming up the stairs. "Bye." Discord said and suddenly vanished.

"I'll have Spike collect them later and thankyou for this I'm glad I have a friend like you." She heard Twilight say. The two mares entered the room and Katie could easily tell Twilight was not very happy at all. "Ok Katie, time to get you home." Twilight said. She used her magic to place Katie securely on her back.

As they left Katie waved goodbye to Pinkie while Twilight walked away. "Thank you." She shouted. She always uesd her manners even if nopony could understand her. "Why did Twilight stop?" She thought.  "And why does Pinkie look like she is about to explode?"

Both Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle looked at the pegasus with their mouths agape. Twilight grabbed her and hugged her while dancing around the market place chanting "Katie said her first word." Over and over.

Twilight couldn't contain her excitement, her daughter had just said her first word and now she stood on a table with a hoof in someponies cake while holding Katie up for everyone to see. Katie blushed bright red as Twilight put her gack on her back and ran back home.

When they arrived Twilight opened the doors to see half of Ponyville in their house. "SURPRISE!" They all screamed.

"What is all this?" Twilight asked.

Pinkie steped out of the crowd and approached them in a somewhat regal manner. She stood up on her hind legs and pulled out a scroll out of her mane. "Whenever a little filly says their first word, a party is then held in their honor." The crowd cheered as the music was played and ponies started to dance. Katie was confused how all this happened so fast she and Twilight only left the market 8 minutes ago, but one would go insane trying to understand Pinkie logic.

The party went on for hours there was cake, balloons, dancing and a lot of ponies saying hello to her. She didn't mind them but she always preferred to limit the ponies she taked to, it wasn't because she was mean but she was not a fan of big groups. From the spot she was seated at she spied a balloon that looked like Discord. She sighed, was this going to be a regular occurrence?  She would have to speak to him in the morning.

The party was coming to a close and only Pinkie and Apple Jack remained. "Thank you for coming Apple Jack." Twilight said as the farm pony left. "Pinkie thanks for this I'm really sure Katie enjoyed it." Pinkie nodded and walked away.

Katie was already asleep with her face in a bowl of ice cream.  Twilight giggled at the sight and picked her up carefully anf placed her on her back. She silently walked to Katie's bedroom and placed her in the crib,  making sure to wish her a good night.

The purple alicorn walked to the library of the castle levitating a scroll and a quill. She sat down and began to write.

Dear princess Celestia

Katie is progressing along nicely,  earlier today she said her first word it was 'thank you' and it was directed towards Pinkie Pie. Pinkie threw a party for her and declared it as a tradition. I think Katie has learned alot from her stay at Pinkie's and she also got a box of toys from her. I will report more later but for now can you tell me if you ever see Discord, I would love nothing more than to buck him in the face for sending me all the way to Canterlot.
