Pinkamena and Cheese Sandwich

Pinkie woke up in the dark, her back sore and stiff. She heard Cheese’s slow, steady breathing next to her. She wondered why their bed was so hard and cold, and why she wasn’t under a blanket. She heard Cheese start waking up. She rubbed her eyes in the darkness, trying to see where they were.

“Cheese, where the hell are we?” She asked.

“Did you forget? Really?” He asked.

“Forget what?” Pinkie asked.

“We’re on the run from sadistic princesses that want to kill us, and we’re living in a cave right now. I can’t believe you forgot.” Cheese said, standing up.

“Oh… Right.” Pinkie said, slowly remembering. Cheese had forgotten that she forgot some things after they slept together.

Cheese walked around the cave for a bit, “Are you hungry at all?” He asked her.

“No, not really.”

“Alright,” Cheese walked back over to her and laid down. “Then I’m going to sleep until the sun comes up because I can’t see anything right now.”

“Ok.” Pinkie said. She heard Cheese lay down next to her and soon the cave was filled with the sound of snoring. She grunted and tried to fall asleep as well so she didn’t have to listen to it. Suddenly, the snoring stopped. Pinkie figured that now she didn’t have to sleep, so she got up and walked to the mouth of the cave.

She sat down and looked up at the beautiful night sky. The almost full moon shone down on the land. The lighting was beautiful, and the breeze was pleasant. Pinkie was suddenly happy that she and Cheese had run away from Ponyville and their life, even though she missed Gala dearly.

She stared out into the vast emptiness, and started thinking about what would happen to her and Cheese if they never got caught. If they had another foal. If they lived the rest of their lives out here. She watched the green grass billow in the soft breeze and felt her mane blow against her face.

Unexpectedly, a flash of lightning struck the ground in front of Pinkie. She yelped and jumped back. She looked up at the night sky, there were no clouds, just the stars shining down. There was another flash of lightning and Princess Luna appeared in front of her.

“We have found you!” She said in the royal Canterlot voice.

“Cheese! Cheese!” Pinkie screamed, running to the back of the cave where Cheese was still sleeping.

“Huh? Pinkie, what is it?” He asked, waking up from his sleep.

“Cheese, its-”

“Princess Luna? I know, I told her where to find us.” Cheese said, an evil smile creeping onto his face. He slowly walked towards her, and Pinkie walked backwards to get away from him. She bumped into Princess Luna and screamed.

“Pinkie! Pinkie!” Cheese was standing over her, shaking her awake. Pinkie opened her eyes and saw Cheese.

“You… You told!” She screamed.

“Told what? Pinkie, it was just a nightmare. Everything is fine.” Cheese said.

Pinkie nodded. “Right. Just a nightmare.” She was panting, and all sweaty. She looked around, and she could sort of see, the sun must have finally come up. She wiped away the tears that were forming in her eyes and slowly stood up.

She walked around for a minute, trying to wake herself up fully and to dry up the sweat that was sticking to practically every inch of her body. She walked over to the mouth of the cave, and looked out. It looked much different than it had in her dream. “Nightmare.” She corrected herself.

“Cheese?” She asked.

“Yeah?” He walked up to her and sat down next to her.

“Are you sure that neither of the princesses are after us?”

“I’m sure. They’re probably forgotten about us by now.” He said. “I bet they think we died that night in the Everfree Forest.”

Pinkie smiled. “That’s good.”

“Darn right its good. Listen, I promise you that everything is going to be just fine. As long as I’m here with you, I promise to take care of you and never let anything bad happen.” He leaned in and kissed Pinkie on the cheek.

She looked at him and smiled. They spent the rest of the day just relaxing and talking. And they did some eating and napping as well.
