Love can be Pink

Chapter 5: Unexpected

It’s been a nearly a week since I went to apologize to Pinkie. Life hasn’t been bad but it hasn’t been great either.

My daily activities were the same: Wake up, have breakfast, go for a walk around Ponyville, come home, have dinner and sleep. It was a cycle that I couldn’t break out of; my life had been reduced to this boring routine.

Today was no different. I was walking around Ponyville when I decided to sit down on one of the benches for a quick break.

Suddenly I remembered I still hadn’t made my mind up about the surgery but it didn’t really matter if I had it or not. If I had the operation and survived there was no point to prolong my lifespan if I was going to spend the rest of it alone.

It didn’t matter much either if I died. I would just be buried and that’s the end of it.

I lifted my head and saw that across from where I was there was a hardware store. Only one thing crossed my mind for what I could find useful from a hardware store, rope.

“Hi Twilight!” Pinkie said as Twilight opened the front door of the library.

“Hello Pinkie, what can I help you with?” She asked her pink friend.

“I was wondering if you’ve seen Fade. I can’t find him anywhere.” She told Twilight.

“Isn’t he at his house?” Twilight responded.

“Nope, that was the first place I went to.” Pinkie said.

“In that case I have no idea where he could be, maybe you should just go to his house again maybe he went out.” Twilight suggested to the pink mare.

“I sure hope so; I’ve looked all over Ponyville for him. Thanks for the help Twilight.” Pinkie said with some concern in her tone.

“No problem Pinkie, take care.”
Pinkie trotted off to Fade’s house again with the hope of finding him. She really need to talk to him about his apology and other strange feelings she was having.

I finished tying the rope around a spot on the roof of my living room, I made sure to leave a big enough spot for my head.

I was having hard time writing down a letter to explain why I did, mainly because I knew I had to mention Pinkie in it.

I settled with a simple ‘I’m Sorry Pinkie’ written across the whole piece of paper. I set the quill down and climbed onto the center table where I had tied the rope; I placed my head on the end and said one last goodbye to this world.

“Fade, are you in there?” I heard a voice coming from the outside which startled me but I opted to remain silent until whoever it was left.

“Fade please; I need to talk to you.” I recognized the voice, it was Pinkie Pie but what was she doing here.
I remained silent. I didn’t know what to do right now.

“If you don’t want to talk to me that’s fine, I totally get it but I just wanted you to know that I accept your apology.” She said as I just stood there on the other side, I wasn’t expecting her to say that.

“Well… I guess that’s all I have to say… I’ll see you later…” She said before I heard her to starting to walk away.
If I need some sort of sign to stay alive, this was it right here.

I sprang off the table and ran to the door so I could catch her before she left.

I swung the door opened and saw Pinkie walking away. “PINKIE!” I shouted in hopes of getting her attention.

Her head turned around and a smile soon appeared when she saw it was me calling her. She ran back up to me and stop just inches away from me.

We just stood there looking at each other for a minute in silence.

“Pinkie… Do you really forgive me?” I asked her, trying to contain the little joy I felt.

“I do.” She answered.

“But how? I was really mean to you…” I said not believing her.

“You were, but it was something that you said that made me realize something.” She said cheerfully.

“What do you mean?” I said rather puzzled.

“You said you hadn’t met anypony that matters to you.” She said smiling.

“Oh yeah…” I didn’t want her to remind me but I’ll see where she’s going with this.

“And you went and apologized to me all the way to my room.” She added.

“Go on…” I was only getting more confused.

“So… That means that I matter to you!” She said leaning into my face.

“Huh?”

“I matter to you because if I didn’t then you wouldn’t have gone and apologized and much less tell me about yourself also when you were leaving and said that there was only one pony you wanted as a best friend, that’s when I knew you really cared about me.” I finally caught up and I wasn’t going to deny it, I had indeed started to take a liking for her.

“You got me Pinkie, and I’m glad you did and I’m glad that you forgave me too.” I said engulfing her in a hug which she gladly returned.

“I think you like me.” She said out of the blue making me break the hug and blush a bit.

“What are you talking about?” I said trying to not sound nervous.

“I can tell by my pinkie sense” She said getting closer to me.

“Pinkie what?” I said before all of the sudden she kissed me on the lips.
I was so blown away by how amazing it felt that I couldn’t even speak.

“Well did you like it?” She asked me.
I couldn’t say anything and simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Perfect! Well I have to go so I guess I’ll stop by later if I can.” She told me before bouncing away.

“Wait!” I said coming back to my senses; Pinkie stopped right in her tracks and turned over to look at me.

“Can I tag along with you? I mean if it’s ok with you.” I asked her, my interest in her had just gone through the roofs.

“Do you really want to hang out?!” She asked happily about my offer.

“Yeah, I’d love to accompany you, plus I kind of owe it to you.” I said catching up with her.

“Okie dokie lokie! First let’s go to the park!” She said, I felt so happy right now I even felt like forgetting of all my worries.
