Will 'O' Wisp

Chapter 7: Pinkie, Me and Spike

I bit of talking, and debating, I finely got Rarity to change her mind on taking me to the spa. She could see that I was uncomfortable with the idea, and took that into account. I was now looking after Spike as Twilight studied to help me. She said we need to know what the Will ‘O’ Wisps are before we do anything else.

I know she won’t find much more that she has already found out from the princesses and the chapter written by Granny Smith, I quite surprised that not half the town came to see what screamed. Spike had fallen asleep by now but he had herded what Rarity and I were talking about and he knew why I won’t to go to the spa.

My wings, if there was a way to hide them so I could go I would go, but alas I don’t know how. Now that I think about it, a spa treat would do wonders.

I was thinking about this when the door opened.

“Twilight said you were up here” the bubbly voice broke my train of thought, and it was none other than Pinkie Pie.

“Oh, Hi Pinkie, you mind keeping your voice down Spike is asleep.”

“Okey-dokey-lokey” she said before flopping down next to me on Twilight’s bed.  “Look I’m sorry.”

“What? What do you have to be sorry for?” I ask.

“For upsetting you, I should have seen that you were uncomfortable but I just saw you as a new pony that I need to become friends with for I’m friends with eveypony in Ponyvile and a new pony means a new friend and I love making friends and making a new friend or any friend upset isn't fun and I should know, me and the other girls upset Twilight one time, but I saw you as a Alicorn that isn't a princess and I just thought a party would cheer you up for there is something that is  bothering you. I can just tell by looking at you…” I had to stop here; one she was getting too loud and two; I think she said I was an Alicorn. Three; I don’t think she had taken a breath of air since she started.

“Whoa, stop, reverse a bit and slow down so I can understand.”

Pinkie put her head on the side “What bit?”

“I thought you said I was like the princesses.”

“Oh yeah, I said I saw that you are an Alicorn.”

“But I never said I was.”

“That’s true but I can see you are.”

“What do you mean can see that I am.”

“Oh I can tell what a pony is all about and what they are hiding if they are hiding something also what they have inside of themselves most of the time by just looking at them.”

“What… How… But that doesn't make any sense.”

“Don’t try to work it out Twilight tried to and went crazy trying.” We both looked down to see Spike lifting his head to see us better.

“Oh yeah that’s when I had a doozy.”

“What?” I ask

“Pinkie sense.” Spike replied.

“What?” I ask again

“You’ll find out, it’s hard to explain.”

“Okay then.” I said back slowly

“Why don’t you want the others to know that you’re an Alicorn?” asked Pinkie getting back on right topic.

“Because they live for a long time and… well let’s say I’m not as old as the princesses and I have memories of the Everfree City as well as the forest. I’m not quite shore why I have lived this long.”

“You’re different and you’re afraid what others will do.” Spike said with a hit of sadness “I… well in the city I was like that” he sighed “but ponies aren't like that here.”

“Still I can help shake the felling that being here is bad.”

“Oh don’t be silly, you’re not bad just lost.” Pinkie said bubbly

“Lost?”

“Yep, hey I know what will cheer you up. What if Spike and I give you a tour of Ponyvile ending at Sugar Cube Corner? And we can show you everything.” She gave me the biggest smile and pleading eyes.

I smiled back “Fine but tomorrow and you have to promise that you’ll let me tell the other when I’m ready and until then it’s a secret.”

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Said Pinkie and by the end her hoof was covering her eye.

“Why do ponies keep doing that?” I ask.

“OH it’s a Pinkie Pie promise. And you can’t break one no matter what and if you do it’s the fastest way to lose a friend forever” She said “now it’s your turn. You pinkie promise you’ll come and do the tour?”

I tilted my head on the side “I would if I know what I was doing.”

“I’ll teach you.” Pinkie was like a young filly showing her best friend a new trick. “Ready?”

I nod.

“Okay it’s; Cross my heart” when she said ‘cross my heart’ that’s was she did she crossed the place where her heart is. “Hope to fly” with those words she flapped her forelegs like they were her wings (or a pair of wings). “Stick a cupcake in my eye” and her hoof was on her eye, and I got it; her hoof had an imaginary cupcake in it. So you crossed your heart flapped your wings and stuck a (imaginary) cupcake in your eye.

“Okay I got now.”

“Ssssoooo?”

I sigh “I Pinkie Pie promise I’ll come and do the tour with you two tomorrow.” And I crossed my heart flapped my wings and stuck a (imaginary) cupcake in my eye.

“Oh wow your wings are so pretty, you shouldn't hide them” I look down at Spike just in time to see him blush.
