Way to the “Haha”
“So, how is your relationship status with Rainbow?” - Pinkie definetly wanted to tease Breeze with those words.
“It’s cool you know, I think I’m much closer to her heart everyday...”
“Didn’t you thought about moving on? She’s probably a lesbian you know?” - Pinkie interrupted him.
“Nope, If she has a rainbow flag as her mane that doesn’t mean she’s lesbian.”
“Maybe you’re right but didn’t you think there’s someone else that could reciprocate your feelings?” - Pinkie this as she was expecting something...
“Why’re you asking?”
“No reason... Oh look we’re here!”
Ponyville:
At Haha
They walked throught backstage doors. It wasn’t big building, well at least backstage wasn’t big. There was big room with a lot of tables for audience. What’s wierd Pinkie looked nervous.
“Pinkie? What’s wrong? You’re shaking a little bit too much for, you know, yourself?
“Yeah, It’s just, I’m not used to giving show for ponies that I don’t know.”
“But you’re Pinkie! And besides... Wait, What do you mean, you don’t know these ponies, I thought you know everyone in Ponyville!”
“Tonight, it’s special night, ponies from all over equestria arrived to see him.”
“Him?”
“Murray Franklin, A guy that makes Murray Franklin Show in Canterlot, That’s most famous comedian!”
“Sorry, still nothing, I’m like just started to even think about comedy.”
“Oh, yes sorry. Anyway go get yourself a table it’s about to get started and I’m going to be announced first by Murray!”
“Ok Pinkie, I wish you luck!”
“Thanks I will need a lot of luck if I’m not going to screw this up...”
As soon Zephyr found free table show started...
”Hello! I’m Gene and i wanna to tell you that I’m very happy that we arrived to this historical town and without unnecessary extension of my speech. Please give big applause for...”
”MURRAY FRANKLIN!”
In the background Murray’s Orchestra started to play song “That’s Life” and Murray walked through big colorful curtains.
All the ponies began to stomp when they saw their favorite comedian. “Damn this dude must be the best for real!” - thoughts of Zeph were interrupted by Murray who began his speach...
“Thanks for this great welcome. This town realy knows how to greet someone. Are you ready to smile everypony?”
The whole room started to cheer...
“So let’s get started, First to make you smile is, snare drums please...”
”PINKIE PIE!”
“Thank you Murray for inviting me at the show!” - she said to Murray so only he could hear it.
“No problem kiddo, just give them reason to laugh!” - Murray said a little bit louder than Pinkie.
“I was wondering why is everypony so... - Pinkie started her performance.
After her first joke whole audience started to laugh that include Zephyr of course. He didn’t know why but with every joke she made his smile wider and wider as his laughter louder and louder. The only thing in his mind was: “How’s this possible to be this stressful before show but while actualy making it being completly calm. And i realy wanna know is she making her jokes before show or does she make them on the spot?”
“That’s my time everypony, hope you had wonderful time goodnight!” - as audience cheered her, she walked off the stage and walked to Breeze table at corner by end of the room.
“Wow Pinkie that was amazing!” - as she sit right next to him, he huged her.
“Umm...Thanks” - saying this she had blush on her cheeks.
“So what do you think do you think you could do this?” - she asked him after few seconds of silence.
“I don’t know Pinkie I mean i realy liked it especialy one part...”
“Which is?”
“I liked when ponies were laughing I don’t know why but it made me smile like not only from the jokes itself but from happiness of ponies... Weird right?”
“No it’s not weird, I think you have a knack for it!”
“You mean it?”
“Yes, of course! You can go to my place and I could teach you some things about comedy, then you could try Stand-Up by yourself.”
“Well, since you insist...”
It took a while until last comedian walked off the stage... And so Murray entered the scene to announce ending of the show.
“That would be our last performance for tonight but no worries we will be seeing eachother in two weeks! Stay safe and always remember
🎶That’s Life!🎶
It was 6 PM, Ponies started to get up of their sits Pinkie and Zephyr didn’t had to wait unitl everypony would get out, because they were close to the exit.
“Shit, Pinkie i have a problem!” - as they walked to Sugarcube Corner Zeph realised something...
“What happend?” - she asked with a slight fear of what could happen.
“I don’t have any place and money for hotel to sleep this night, and no I won’t go to Fluttershy!”
“No worries big guy you can sleep in my room at Sugarcube Corner!”
“Wouldn’t it be, you know, weird?”
“Why? We’re friends! That’s what friends are for!”
“Well that’s a relief. So we will sleep in one bed?” - he said this in his flirty way.
“Don’t push your luck.” - she said this between gigles. “I have a camp bed, don’t worry it’s comfy.”
“Thanks Pinkie, You’re literaly saving my ass.”
Ponyville:
Sugarcube Corner
“So... We’re alone in here?” - as they arrived Zephyr asked her becouse he didn't notice or hear anypony.
“Yup, Cakes and their kids left for vacation and they wanted me to take care of Sugarcube Corner for this time.”
“Where’s your room? I didn’t had my Siesta today I’m tired.”
“Oh no Zephyr I know how long your Siesta can take, besides if we start today you will have more time for practicing tomorrow.”
“Ugh... Fine, whatever you say Pinkie.”
“Then let’s get started... but wait i didn’t told you something important!”
“What?”
“You have to choose your clown name!”
“Clown name?”
“Yeah, I mean i call it that way, it’s name that you use at your shows.”
“Why do i have to use it? You don’t have any...”
“Who said i don't? My true name is Pinkamena Diane Pie.”
“So Pinkie Pie is name abbreviation?”
“No it’s my Clown name!”
“Whatever, I don’t know how to call myself.”
“Just think, Maybe it’s in song that you like.”
“Hmm... I know!”
“So tell me what is it?”
