Set shortly after Pinkie Pie got her Cutie Mark, this story follows her over the course of a few years as she meets her first best friend, a buffalo she nicknames Bysen. Wait don't leave! I know it sounds like an self OC shipfic and... it kinda is. But it goes off in a different direction than you'd expect.

This was written before season 4. This means that Pinkie's family hadn't been fleshed out yet. Specifically that Maud didn't exist yet and that Pinkie's family was named by the fandom after the ghosts from Pacman: Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, and that they were Amish...ish. And Bonnie and Clyde was my personal touch.
In fact you can still google those names followed by pie and they'll show up [except Bonnie].

This was pulled from a much MUCH larger story in which this was a single chapter and as such there are a few things that are foreshadowing/throwing back that are just kinda set by this point in the full story and probably need to be changed in this stand alone version.
And here’s the full original story.
