A Loving Touch Part 2
By huntersunday

The crystal palace stood tall, as the chaos that took place, was trapped on the inside, and was hidden by its mighty walls, the halls were cluttered with strone scrolls and books. A path could easily been seen heading towards the princess of friendship's bedroom, among the chaos sat an exhausted mare, buried in her own books.

Twilight let a groan slip from her lips, as she slammed her head down, a resounding thwack echoed throughout the the room. It had been weeks since she had woke up in the hospital and she had done nothing but research, but it all seemed pointless, because she still hadn't found any info on the cocoon that hovered above her bed.

She just couldn't get the lead she was looking for, all the books she found didn't help and the few with clues about mates and marking revolved around slavery. She quickly shook her head of the thought,just the idea of her turning her friend into a sex slave sent shivers down her spine, she would never wish that upon Pinkie.

To make matters worse, everyday Twilight seem to want Pinkie back more and more, which would be natural but it was more like a craving, it was like she needed Pinkie back, like a piece of herself was missing, and kept growing the longer Pinkie sat trapped. If Twilight was honest with herself, she would admit that she couldn't even stand being away from the cocoon, like it was somehow calling to her, often she would find herself staring at the cocoon in want.

She slammed her head once more against the hard desk, letting out a pained groan, besides just studying the cocoon, she had also been putting time into researching her own feelings, all the facs pointed to her being in love with the strange mare. Twilight shook her head, sure she knew Pinkie liked her but there was no way she had fallen in love with the mare in one day. Not that she couldn't see herself fall for the mare, Pinkie was great and fun, it just wasn't natural for her to fall in love so quick, that wasn't how it worked.

Her thoughts were shattered as a knock came from her door, “Oh, the door is open,come on in just mind the mess,” Twilight turned to welcome any one of her friends, most had came by to visit often to check up on her, she gave no attempt to hide her surprise when she saw her visitor.

Mrs. Cake just smiled, “Why hello, Twilight, I just came by to check up on Pinkie Pie’s progress,” Mrs. Cake did not fail to notice the pained look that crossed Twilight's face at the mention of her friend, glancing around she noticed the clutter of books and empty mugs, with a sad smile she spoke, “I guess it isn't going so well?”

Twilight only shook her head, not wanting to admit her failing, Mrs.Cake smiled as she walked toward Twilight, sitting down beside her, “I can tell you are doing all that you can, but if you don't mind I would like to tell you a little story, maybe it will help clear your thoughts?”

Twilight took a moment to think of the idea, and decided a few more minutes wouldn't make a difference to her research, besides a break could do her good. She smiled before nodding her head.

“First, let me say, it does my heart good to see that somepony, has taken a liking to Pinkie,” Twilight’s eyes widen as her face heated up, Mrs.Cake just chuckled before speaking, “Don't look so surprised, I’ve been there myself, you may not see it yourself or understand it, but I can tell you're falling for her.”

Mrs.Cake took a moment to glance at the floating cocoon, “You know, I never seen Pinkie happier then when she talks about you and your friends adventures together, she always seemed the happiest when she talked about you,” A small sliver of sadness appeared on her face as she spoke, “You know, I have only seen her truly sad twice now, once was when she thought you all didn't want to be her friend, the other happened back when she was just a filly.”

Twilight’s face only showed shock and curiosity, a pang of guilt washed over her, a feeling started to stir at the thought of Pinkie being sad, she was about to ask what happened in the past, but was stopped by Mrs. Cake's smile,”You need to promise me something, if I tell you this you won't tell anypony but Pinkie, it's her story to tell, but given the circumstance, I feel like she would be okay with you knowing.”

Twilight quickly nodded her head in understanding, before standing up, “I will go get us some tea, and of course I want tell a soul unless Pinkie says so,” Mrs.Cake couldn't help but smile as the purple mare left the room, giving a glance toward the cocoon, she mouthed an apology, hoping Pinkie would forgive her for breaking a promise.

Twilight winced as she carried in her tea set, magic still hurt her but she found that she could still do minor tasks, with a smile she sat a cup in front of her guest before sitting down once more.

Mrs.Cake graciously accepted the up, smiling she spoke, “Twilight I know you have heard Pinkie’s cutie mark story, but you don't know the whole truth. You see after Pinkie got her mark she wanted to do what any filly would, she wanted to pursue her dream, but she was still young and lived on a rock farm.”

She paused to take a quick sip of tea, “Her father tried his best to help her, but he was just a farmer and Pinkie was well Pinkie, so when she got over excited, he would send her to town, the town was just a tiny village right outside her farm, he figured if she was around other ponies it would calm her down. At the time, me and my husband, had only a small cake cart to our name, sort of like the cart your friend, Applejack owns. We were traviling the country to sell our sweets, then out of the blue the sweetest little filly came to my cart, I could see a little bit of sadness hidden in her eyes, so I offered her a cupcake.”

Mrs Cake smiled as the memorys came flooding back, “I have never seen somepony so happy to eat a cupcake, she litterally was every where, soon every day that same filly would come by full of questions, waiting to learn every thing she could about baking,”Mrs Cake paused as she looked off in thought, before returning to her tale, “Soon she knew everything we knew, but as you know life goes on, soon Mr Cake found some prime relastate here in ponyvill, and we couldnt pass up the great deal.”

Twilight finally spoke thinking she had pieced it together, “So I’m guesing the first time she was sad, is when you told her you had to leave,” Twilight’s stared in awe s Mrs. Cake shook her head, she thought she had it down.

Mrs Cake smiled, “No, belive it or not that wasnt it, she was dissapointed, but she knew that one day we would leave, so with a sad goodbye she went home, but thats not the end of the story, see as I was pacing up a gruff voice spoke behind me, to my surpise it was Pinkie’s father. He had come to speack with me and my husband, after we sat down, he asked a very shocking question, he wanted to know if we would take his daughter with us, he explained he didnt know how to help is daughter, he was just a farmer,” Mrs Cake paused letting the information sink in.

A glimps of sandness shown on Mrs. Cake’s face as she spoke, “We accepted, her father told us he would send bits once a mounth to help out, and we would take her under my wing, that is when I saw Pinkie at her saddest, you see to her, it was like her father gave up on her, and didn't want her around, the way I saw it was that her father loved her enough to let her go”

Twilight sat in awe, as tears fell down her face, she had no idea Pinkie’s past was so grim. Mrs. Cake’s smile brighten as she took in Twilight’s form, “Do you know why I am telling you this?” Twilight only shook her head, nottusted her voice, “Because Twilight, Pinkie is like a daughter to me and she loves you, and you may not see it but you love her to, So I want you to promise me something.”

Twilight slowly stopped her tears as she looked Mrs. Cake in the eyes before nodding her head, Mrs.Cake let out a breath as she spoke, “Promise me, Twilight, that if you truly love her, that you will never give up on her, that you will keep her smile going, she may never say it but she gets lonely at times thinking noponey would want to spend constant time with sompony as hyper as her, so please promise me, that if you love her you wont hurt her.”

Twilight’s brian stopped as Mrs.Cake’s words bounced in her skull, the heart-felt words started to pull at something deep inside, and for the first time since the night of passion a dark voice spoke once more through her own mouth,”She is our’s, we are her’s, nothing will break our bound, for we are one.”

Mrs.Cake could only stare in shock, it felt as if Twilight’s words struck her very core, she felt, no, knew that Twilight would keep her word “Thank you, Twilight, I dont know why but I feell like you would never hurt her.”

With a shacky breath, Twilight pulled back the rush of power she felt, quickly she shot up in surpise, ”I hate todo this Mrs.Cake, but you need to leave I think I know what needs to be done, to wake Pinkie!”

Mrs.Cake only nodded as she lgot up to leave, giving one last ook at Twilight she spoke, “Go bring her back Twilight,” Twilght let out a breath as Mrs.cake left her room.

With no wait, she rushed toward the mirror that sat in her room, only to gasp as her refelection smiled at her, “Finally, you can hear me!”
