A Rainbow Colored Heart
Chapter 17
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe room fell silent as the sound of knocking echoed off the walls. I turned to Rainbow who was staring back at me; the look of worry was apparent on her face.
“Rainbow, take the others and go hide in the room.” I ordered.
Rainbow nodded turning to the others before flying ahead of them into the room; the others following close behind.
“Everythin’ alright sugar cube?” Applejack asked seeing the worry that was on my face.
“Don’t worry about me AJ, I’ll be fine.” I dismissed joining Matthew at the door watching as Applejack disappeared into the hallway; the sound of a door shutting soon followed.
Turning to Matthew I saw his hand edging towards the door knob falling short of the brass handle. “Draw straws to answer the door?” He suggested with a faint laugh. I shook my head. Another knock sounded making Matthew turn to face the door. “Alright then, let’s get this over with then.”
Placing his hand on the doorknob Matthew opened the heavy wooden door a crack he stopped suddenly just as he stepped back opening the door further to reveal the outside. “There’s no one there” he stated taking a peak outside in either direction. “I’m not going crazy am I?”
“Matthew, we live with four talking ponies that no one else knows about, as far as I know you are about as sane as I am.” I stated.
“He has a point you know.” A loud high pitched voice came from behind the two of us.
Matthew froze. “Please tell me that was you Matthias.” I shook my head to afraid to turn around myself.
“Matthias and Matthew, I think I can work with that.” The voice said. “I think I’ll call you Matt, and you Matti cakes.”
Slowly Matthew and I began to turn around, preparing for the worst. Standing right in the doorway to the living room was a small figure, the color pink standing out even in the dark room. Suddenly the shape disappeared behind the corner.
“Where’d she go?” Matthew asked walking back into the living room in hopes to find the small figure.
Suddenly I felt a breath against my neck, making the hairs stand on end.
“BOO!!!” the voice yelled right by my hear making my heart skip a beat as it almost jumped out of my chest. I fell forward turning to land on my side getting a good look at the high pitch voiced figure that had just scared me who was now on the ground laughing uncontrollably.
“You are hilarious Matti cakes; I think the two of us are going to get along great.” She said.
Getting a good look at the rolling figure I saw a familiar shape begin to form as my eyes adjusted to the darker part of the room. Rolling before me was a small pink pony; it was roughly the same size as the others however by far the most distinguishing feature was the cotton candy like mane and tail that seem to bounce every time a giggle came from her lips.
“You alright?” Matthew asked helping me to my feet.
“I’ll let you know when my heart isn’t threatening to jump out of my chest.” I joked.
Suddenly I heard one of the hallway doors open slowly with a creak of the hinges that held it in place, a pair of sapphire eyes slowly peaked around the corner. “Oh my, Pinkie Pie, is that you darling?” I heard Rarity call.
The fit of giggles halted abruptly as the ball of pink fur snapped to attention. “Rarity?” she said suddenly disappearing again returning the apartment to its silent state.
“What was that about?” Matthew asked.
“I don’t know, but whatever it is, it’s giving me a head ache already.” I stated walking over to the couch and sitting down. “Looks like we don’t have to check out those power outages.”
“Yeah, but how do you think she found us?”
“Silly, I just used my Pinkie sense.” A voice came from right next to me making me jump out of surprise again.
“How the hell do you keep doing that?” I demanded trying to calm my heart down again.
“You learn to get used to it.” I heard Rainbow say as she walked into the living room with the others trailing close behind. “It’s just Pinkie being Pinkie.”
“So your name’s Pinkie?” Matthew asked.
“Actually my full name in Pinkimina Dianne Pie, but you guys can just call me Pinkie Pie, all my friends do.” She began.
“Which I hope I can call you two friends because I just met you, and this is crazy, so-“
God what is this pony on? Finally I placed a hand over Pinkie’s muzzle hoping to silence the mare, however the words soon turned to un-audible mumbles as she continued talking only slowing down to get a breath.
“Is she always this hyper?” I asked Rainbow who had moved to my side on the couch.
“You have no idea.” She stated with a laugh leaning against me with a content sigh.
Getting tired of the muffled sound coming from her I released her muzzle only to have her continue from where she left off as if I hadn’t had my mouth on her mouth.
“- And that’s when my Dad always told me to be careful about what I lick.” She said finally coming to a halt. She then turned to look at Rainbow who was still leaning against me. “Dashie, are you and Matti cakes each others someponies?”
Damn she’s blunt.
“Just getting up to speed real quick.”
Did she just read my mind?
“Yes, is that a problem?”
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
“Well are you?” she asked getting UN comfortably close.
I turned to Rainbow hoping she could save me from this pink terror. “Yes Pinkie, Matthias and I are seeing each other.”
Suddenly she burst into another fit of giggles as she jumped off the couch hopping all around jumping all around the room saying something about throwing a party which was barely audible. I felt tired just looking at her.
“You ok Matti cakes?” Matthew asked in a joking tone, a smug look to match.
“Shut up.” I stated placing a hand on my forehead to try and stop the throbbing that had began to occur ever since Pinkie had began talking.
As soon as Pinkie entered the house she grew immediately accustomed to the routine. Much like the others she had no idea how she got here from her world but to her it didn’t matter. In all honesty I felt a little uneasy around her, I had always disliked overly bubbly attitudes and Pinkie was the very definition of one. However thee others seem to welcome her coming immensely, sitting all around the living room chatting amongst themselves as Matthew and I tried to figure out what to do next in the other room.
“Okay, good news or shitty news?” Matthew said hanging up his cell phone.
“I choose the later.”
“The shitty news is that the electric company is not going to be able to get out here anytime soon to restore the power, their too backed up with the other blackouts caused by Pinkie.” He began. “The good news is that my Grandma had to get her flight changed so she going to leave today before it gets way too dark. We could leave later tonight if we wanted to.”
“What about Pinkie?”
“What about her? She’s coming too.”
“Are you sure she’ll want to go someplace with two humans she just met not two hours ago?”
“Her friends like us, so I don’t see any reason why she wouldn’t want to.”
“Alright fine, I’ll go tell them the news.”
“Tell us what?” Pinkies voice suddenly came from behind making me and Matthew jump simultaneously.
“Jesus Pinkie, give me a heart attack why don’t you?” Matthew stated.
“But that would hurt you Matt, why would you want me to hurt you?”
Matthew was dumbstruck sitting there looking at her with a look of confusion on his face. “You know what; I’m not even going to dignify myself with a response to that.” He said getting up out of his chair. “Matthias you wanna go tell the others were leaving tonight?”
“Oo-Oo I will.” Pinkie said dashing out the door at a speed which would rival Dash.
“That pony is going to be the death of me.” I stated.
The Next Morning:
“Is that everything?” Matthew asked putting the last of the bags into the bed of his truck.
“Just my guitar case and we should be good.” I said handing the large case to him.
“I can’t believe you forgot to pack for this trip. Didn’t I tell you we were going earlier today?” he stated putting the case in the last open spot before closing the bed cover.
“In my defense; you told me tomorrow. Not only that but I never expected to gain another addition to our little family.”
“Eh, details.” He shrugged off. “Are the girls ready to leave?”
I nodded. “They don’t have much so I think we’ve packed whatever their going to need.”
“Alright then, let’s hit the lonesome road.”
