Reliving Memories

Pinkie trotted through Ponyville one day looking left and right and all the other directions, looking for one of her bestest friends Ryan, a human that had come to Equestria through a portal that Tirek had opened up before his defeat. Soon she had reached her destination Twilight's castle, she new for a fact that Ryan liked to stay there sometimes during his free time as he put it he wanted to learn more about Equestria. She ran into Twilight's library catching the Alicorn by surprise al whilst yelling out, "RYAN WHERE ARE YOU HIDING!!?!" after waiting a moment for a response she turned her attention to the Alicorn who was clutching her ears before Pinkie could say anything she was interrupted by Twilight, "Wow Pinkie that's one heck of a yelling voice, and I've experienced Luna's canterlot voice when she was only a metre away from me." At this Pinkie quickly stated, "Oh, sorry Twilight, didn't mean to interrupt you." After getting a look from Twilight that told Pinkie that she was okay Pinkie recalled the reason she had burst into Twilight's castle's library, "Hey Twilight, you wouldn't happen to know where Ryan is i've been looking for him all day." At this Twilight thought to herself for a moment before responding with, "Have you checked his house?" as soon as Twilight looked to Pinkie for an answer Pinkie obliged by saying, "I've looked all over Ponyville, wait a minute I haven't looked around Sweet Apple Acres." with that Pinkie was gone a a cloud of pink at this Twilight shrugged and went back to her book.

It took Pinkie a few minutes but she finally arrived at the Acres and saw her friend sitting on top of a hill under an oak tree, as soon as she saw him she ran up to the top of the hill, as she approached Ryan looked up at her and said something that made Pinkie stop in her tracks, "Pinkie please go away." As that set in Pinkie slowly approached Ryan, as she got closer she noticed something very off about Ryan he had tears streaming down his eyes, at this Pinkie ran up to him and proceeded to get in his face and ask him what was wrong the last thing she expected was for Ryan to scoot away from her, "Pinkie can you please go away, I really want to be alone right now." When Pinkie heard this she could have sworn her mane and tail had deflated a bit, but the poof came back to her mane and tail when she thought of an idea, when Ryan looked up he noticed that Pinkie was gone.

"Thank goodness your all here." Pinkie said to the rest of her bestest friends as they sat around the cutie map. "Well of course we are here darling you did get Dash to fly around Ponyville and get us all to meet you here." said Rarity as the others nodded in agreement, then Twilight asked the question every pony had been wondering, "So what's wrong Pinkie?" "Something's wrong with Ryan girls we need to go help him if you will all follow me." At this she got up and started to walk towards the door noticing that no-pony was following her, "Are you gonna follow me or not we gotta go help Ryan." at this Logic the others got out of their seats and followed Pinkie to where Ryan was. After a few minutes Pinkie and her troupe walked up the hill and found that Ryan had not moved at all since Pinkie was last there, upon noticing The tear streaks running down Ryan's face, Fluttershy flew up to Ryan and pulled him into a hug, slowly the others approached Ryan and they embraced him into a hug. At this Ryan's breath caught in his throat as he slowly gave into cuddle pile that he was apart of, before he could catch his breath he was set by a barrage of  questions most of those consisted of 'are you okay and what's wrong' "Look I'm fine you six okay so can you get off me for a sec."

At this request the all six ponies got off of their human friend, after they got off of him they gave him looks that told him that they wanted to know what was wrong. "Okay I'm guessing you girls wanna know what's wrong," at this he received nods and looks of approval, "Okay then but you aren't aloud to tell anybody, also this may bring some tears to your eyes." At this the ponies looked to each other , then Twilight spoke up, "We won't tell anypony." "Okay then well when I was Five my Mom gave birth to my sister," at this the gave him looks of confusion, "After she was born she shortly died afterwards my sister not my mother her name was Rebecca, and today is her birthday." At this shocking revelation the 6 ponies pulled Ryan into another hug session, as they were giving him hugs and telling him he was going to be alright he noticed they were starting to tear up and so he returned their hugs. After awhile the cuddle pile broke and Ryan said something that had been on his mind, "Thanks for that guys, I really needed that" "Well that's what friend's do." Twilight said "You do know darling you can come to us about anything anytime you want to okay         ." Rarity said to Ryan. "Yeah got it guys I'll remember that." At this a thought crossed Ryan's mind he finally knew what true friends were, he then wondered two things to himself, 1) When was he going to tell his pony friends the truth about his social him not having any friend's on Earth. 2) He then wondered if Twilight would let him borrow Spike so that he could write a Friendship report to Princess Celestia.
