Twilight and Pinkie's Halloween

As Twilight lugged the pumpkin up the five flights of stairs because today of all days the elevator just had to be out of order, she cursed under her breath. Looking back at Pinkie who was fairing, if only, a little better than her. Finally after what seemed like ages they arrived at her apartment door. Rummaging through her pocket until she found the key, she slipped it into the lock and opened the door.

Setting her pumpkin on the floor she headed into the kitchen to look for some kitchen knives. As she walked back to the hallway she picked up the days paper off the table and brought it into the room. She saw Pinkie already had found a sharpie and was doodling on her pumpkin.

“Here you go” Twilight said handing the girl the duller of the two knives. She still could trust her with sharp knives after that one incident.

“Thanks Twily” she exclaimed as she took the knife and began to steady it over one point before plunging it in and taking off the top. Throwing the newspaper down between them, she followed in suit with Pinkie and took off the top of the pumpkin and began to rake out the guts. This was the part she hated most about carving pumpkins and Pinkie knew darn well this was one Halloween activity she didn’t enjoy.

“I still don’t know how you convinced me into doing this” she said as she trembled as she took out another glob of pumpkin seeds and insides.

“Because Twily, this won’t be like last year where all we did was hand out candy. You wouldn’t even let me talk to any of the kids” Pinkie responded.

“Precautionary measures. Besides, they’re even more worried about this year now, since we share the apartment.”

“I don’t know why. Besides you were being a nice friend after I lost my job at that party store”

“Yeah and I rember you telling me once that when you got a job you’d move out. But you’ve had a job for three months now and your still here”

“Aww you don’t mind that much Twily, besides I help pay for rent”

“Yeah, yeah” Twilight said as she dug out what she thought should be considered the last of the pumpkin insides. Picking up her knife again she began to cut out the face for her pumpkin.

“Are you actually gonna dress up this year?” Pinkie asked.

“Probably not”

"You’re no fun sometimes”

“Thank you”

“You’re no fun when your sarcastic”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes”

“Too bad I’m stuck like this forever”

“Well then you’ll have to deal with me living with you forever”

“Okay rethinking that response”

“Good” Pinkie said before turning back to her pumpkin.

A few minutes Pinkie cried out in a sing-song voice “Done”

Looking over to the pumpkin Pinkie had turned towards her she noticed it was a normal pumpkin except the teeth where extra pointy.

“Pinkie, you better hope that doesn’t scare any kids”

“But that’s the entire point of Halloween”

“Well blame the parents in this apartment complex”

“Then how’s yours looking” Pinkie said as she looked over Twilights shoulder to see her pumpkin. But was disappointed to see a run of the mill pumpkin.

“You really have no Halloween spirit”

“Well sorry for not wanting my neighbors to hate me!”
