Pipsqueak’s New Home

Pinkie Pie and Pipsqueak exited the hospital and made their way through town. Pinkie wasn’t bouncing, she just slowly made her way like anypony else. It’s not that that she didn’t want to or couldn’t, she wanted to savor every last step. Steps that would change not only hers, but also Pipsqueak.

Speaking of which, Pip was smiling; it wasn’t a normal smile, though. His smile was one of hope. He didn’t know what exactly would happen after today. Without his Mum or Pop, he get exceptionally lost. He trusted Pinkie, though, and knew that she would have a plan. What that plan was, however, was beyond his knowledge.

As the pair approached the sugar sanctuary known as Sugarcube Corner, Pip grew a tad scared. He had never really been in this place. His parents only brought him stuff back.

The door opened, and the inside was normal as ever. Ponies were happily snacking on their sweets, forgetting about whatever troubles they had acquired recently. Mr. and Mrs. Cake were just minding their own business, and happily looked towards their customers.

Then they noticed Pinkie.

“Hello, Pinkie! How ar-uhhhhhh”, Mr. Cake said as soon as saw Pipsqueak.

“Pinkie, dear, who is this? A friend of yours, maybe?”, Mrs, Cake.

“Aha, Yeah....I need to tell you guys something important”, Pinkie said sheepishly.

“Ok, tell us then”, Mr.Cake cheerfully said.

“In private, I mean”, Pinkie said. She nodded to Pipsqueak as she said that.

“Oh, alright dear. Lead the way”, Mrs. Cake said.

The three walked into the kitchen and left Pip alone in the bakery. He felt honesty out of place. That was until he heard two cries coming from upstairs. Curious, he went up the stairs to investigate.

There were 3 rooms in a single hallway. The crying was coming from the third room. Cautiously, he stepped in.

He saw two foals, no more than 2, crying on the floor. Their ball popped while they were playing.

Never having siblings, Pip didn’t exactly know what to do. He did know that little foals liked toys, so he found some toys that they could play with. There was a toy Celestia doll, a little spinning top, and a toy boat.

Pipsqueak’s dream was to be a pirate, it was all he really thought about. He saw the boat and got an idea.

“Hello there, little foals. My name is Pipsqueak”, the colt said.

The two foals looked to him in confusion; they had never seen this colt before.

“I see your ball popped, and that’s no fun at all, no sir’ee. I’ll show you how to have fun”, Pip said before grabbing the boat.

He took the boat and sat in front of them. He made it “sail” around them. Apparently, they liked it and soon started to laugh.

Just then, he heard Pinkie Pie call for him. He left the foals alone and made his way down stairs. When he got down there, Pinkie and The Cakes all had gentle grins on their faces.

“Hiya, Pip! Where did you go?”, Pinkie asked.

“Well, I heard these cries up the stairs. I followed them and found these foals crying. I noticed that there was a toy boat and sailed with them. They were happy enough, so I let them be”, Pipsqueak said nervously.

Pinkie looked at the Cakes with a smile.

“That’s great! Anyway, I need to ask you something”, Pinkie Pie said.

“Alright, fire away ma’m”, Pip said.

“Do you know these ponies are?”, Pinkie said while pointing to Mr. and Mrs. Cake.

“I don’t think so. Why do you ask?”, Pip replied.

“Well, these two own Sugarcube Corner. Pipsqueak, allow me two introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Cake”, Pinke said happily.

Pip trotted up and stared at them.

“Nice to meet you, Sir and Madam”, Pipsqueak said politest as can be.

“Oh my, such a little gentlecolt”, Mrs. Cake said.

Mr. Cake extended his hoof, to which Pipsqueak took it.

“Nice to meet you, Pipsqueak”, Mr.Cake said.

“Ok, great. So, Pipsqueak, I told them about what happened. Not to worry, though. These two are nicest ponies you can meet”, Pinkie gently said.

Pip shrank a bit and nodded. Mrs. Cake walked up to him and smiled.

“Pipsqueak, everything’s going to be fine. Pinkie told us, and we will allow you to stay here at Sugarcube Corner”, Mrs. Cake said happily.

Pipsqueak’s face lit up.

“Y-You really mean it? I can stay here?!”, Pipsqueak was in wonderment.

“Of course, we wouldn’t want something bad to happen to you, Pip”, Mr. Cake spoke up.

Pipsqueak ran up and gave them hugs.

“Thank you so much! You don’t know know how much this means to me”, Pip did with tears in his eyes.

Pinkie looked on with the happiest grin she had ever put on. Truly, it was time to make Pipsqueak’s life better.
