Pinkie's Diary

Chapter 2: Further Research
*ring, ring*
"Mrs Cake?"
"Oh, Twilight. You're here. I assume you are here for Pinkie?" Twilight nodded. "She's upstairs... In her room. As she has been. For 3 hours."
"Yeah... I'll go check on her." Twilight went left though the door and up the stairs. A light sobbing came through the door at the top.
"Pinkie..." Twilight leaned towards the door. A light rustling came from inside, and Pinkie opened the door. She fell into Twilight's arms and started crying harder.
"Oh Twilight! I'm a wreck!" Pinkie looked up at Twilight's face, tears streaming down hers.
"Pinkie... C'mon. Show me what you wanted to."
"Really?"
"Yes, Pinkie. Let's go."

"Pinkie... I don't want to seem pushy or anything - but where are you taking me?"
"We're almost there." Pinkie was running through the straw, holding Twilight's hand. The straw rushed past their heads, brushing their manes. The sun was lowering, casting an orange filter over the otherwise blue sky. They entered the 4th meadow, the hill now in sight.
"Oh. Oh! OH! I see, Pinkie! I know what we're doing!" Twilight started to grin. This was going to be a good sunset. They went up the slightly elevated hill and lay down under the tree.
"Twilight... Over there, that farmhouse. The old looking abandoned one..."
"Yes... The one next to the river? Going through the 3rd meadow?"
"Yes. I've never told anypony this before." Twilight sat up slightly, to get a better view.
"That farm... I was brought up there. I was abandoned..."
"Oh my gosh! Pinkie! Why didn't you say anything?"
"It was ages ago... I'm past it. But this spot has a special meaning to me. The river was what led me into Ponyville. Then my adoptees left me as well..."
"Wow... You've had a hard life." Twilight and Pinkie sat up against the tree. Twilight reached over a comforting hand to Pinkie's shoulder. Pinkie looked at her... And smiled. She then broke down and collapsed down into Twilight's lap. Twilight squirmed with nervousness, but tried to comfort her. The sun started to set, casting a silhouette of Manehattan over the sun.
"Wow." Twilight stared in disbelief. It was beautiful. Twilight looked back down at Pinkie, who had fallen asleep and had started gently... Purring? Twilight smiled and watched the sun go down, the gentle breeze lulling her to sleep.

*squeak!*
Twilight awoke with a start. The sun was up, at roughly 8 in the morning. Her studies of the stars really helped her in numerous occasions. Pinkie was still asleep, resting in Twilight's lap. Twilight looked around for whatever squeaked and woke her up - and saw Fluttershy in the branches above.
"What the- Fluttershy! What are to doing?!" Twilight angrily whispered, trying not to wake Pinkie.
"Mr Squirrel was stuck up top." At the mention of a squirrel she hovered down from the branch and shoved a squirrel in Twilight's face. Fluttershy looked down at Pinkie and blushed. "Erm... Twilight. There's.... Somepony on your lap."
"Yes! I know! Well done, Fluttershy!" Twilight sarcastically whispered.
"Sorry... I'll leave you two to... Er... Whatever you're doing." Fluttershy blushed a bit more and flew off with a squirrel on her head. At the sound of rustling leaves, Pinkie murmured and rolled over, onto her back. She was asleep... Face up. Her face was in direct view of Twilight. Twilight never got much closer to Pinkie, than 10 feet away before. She was strangely young looking... A filly. Her frazzled mane in its signature shape on her head-
*Wooosh*
Before Twilight could do anymore, Rainbow Dash flew past at 300 miles per hour, rustling the tree. She pulled back to a stop and reversed back to the tree. She saw Twilight's nervous and awkward face and tried to hold back a laugh.
"*giggle* Twilight... I don't even want to know what happened last night."
"Rainbow! You have a sick mind! I was simply comforting a... Slightly unstable pony!"
"Oh, sorry Dr Sparkle!" Rainbow burst out laughing and fell to the floor. She rolled downhill into the straw, and flew straight up out of it.
"Oh oh! I know! Let me swap places with you! When she wakes up-"
"Rainbow! That's horrible and cruel! She isn't having a good time at the moment, and you want to give her more mental instability?!"
"Erm... No? It'll be fun! She'll see the fun side!"
"Rainbow... No."
"Fine... Killjoy." Rainbow trailed off. "Bye then!" the rainbow pegasus flew off into the sparse clouds. Pinkie begun to stir and opened her eyes.
"Thank you... Twilight. You've given me what no other pony could." Pinkie got up, brushed herself down and hugged Twilight. Twilight didn't know what to do, so just patted her on the back. Pinkie pulled back, smiled, and went on her way through the 4th meadow, towards Ponyville. Twilight just sat up against the tree, dazed as well as confused. What had actually happened, these past 12 hours? Twilight shook herself free of her thoughts and got up, her haunches aching. Sleeping upright was another thing NOT to do again. She looked around - Ponyville, trees, the meadows, the fields, Canterlot and the sky. And a small notebook lying on the floor, decorated with a simple floral pattern.
