Gift in the Ashes

"Pinkie!"

Pinkie gasped and hid the artifact immediately. Twilight trotted in with a confused look on her face. When she found Pinkie Pie, she gave out a relieved smile, "Oh, there you are. I thought you were lost in the storm yesterday."

"Yesterday?" Pinkie blinked. Suddenly, she remembered when she fell asleep while trying to glue the pieces back together! "Oh, that..."

Noticing Pinkie down, Twilight furrowed her eyebrows, "Is everything alright?"

"No, Twilight," Pinkie sighed, "It's not..."

"What do you mean?" Twilight began to feel anxious or scared.

"I broke something..." Pinkie sniffed, her mane a little flat.

"B-broke what?" Twilight stuttered. If Pinkie accidentally broke Tank, she's going to be dead.

"THIS!"

Twilight gasped at the broken sight of the rainbow rock. "W-what happened to it?"

"I accidentally broke Rainbow Dash's gift from her parents!" Pinkie cried. "Now she'll never be my friend again!"

"Pinkie, of course she is still your friend," Twilight said soothingly. "A silly gift won't break your friendship with Rainbow."

"But she will be mad at me!" Pinkie sobbed.

"Yes, she will," Twilight nodded, "but she will forgive you...Don't worry, Pinkie, I'm sure she'll understand..."

Pinkie could only nod as she hugged Twilight. "There there, Pinkie," Twilight whispered, "It was only an accident."

Pinkie wiped her tears and made a determined face, "You're right, Twilight! Friendships can't be broken by just a gift!"

Twilight gave a soft smile before frowning as she saw Pinkie drowning slowly in the clouds. Pinkie's eyes widened, "Uh, Twilight? Why are you here?"

"Oh! Right!" Twilight facehoofed herself. "I came to renew the spell so you won't drown in the clouds...which you are right now."

Twilight's aura slowly wrapped Pinkie before it was done. Twilight beamed, "Done!"

"Yippee!" Pinkie jumped on the cloud. Then she frowned, "But I'm still scared of what will Rainbow do..."

Twilight smiled, "It's going to be okay. I'm right there when you need me..."

"Thanks, Twi," she reflected the smile, hugging her back. Suddenly, she gasped, pushing Twilight away, "I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!"

Twilight scratched her head, "What is it?"

"How about I go to the new store that can fix ANYTHING, and by the time Rainbow Dash comes back, she won't notice a thing!" Pinkie grinned at her idea.

"I don't think tha-"

"LET'S GO!" Pinkie grabbed the shattered heart and put them in a bag.

"Pinkie!"

But it was too late. Pinkie had already left. Twilight sighed in worry, "I hope everything will be okay."
