Speda Hooves couldn't think anything as a pink flash tackled her to the floor, and as she took in the looks of a very pink, smiling pony above her, she couldn't help but stare at her.

"Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, I knew, I just knew I felt somepony arrive a year ago, but I could never tell where, and oh my gosh your eyes are so pretty, why are they glowing, hey why are you wearing clothes like that, what's your cutie mark, is it something cool, are you a spy, I've always wanted to be a spy-" the pink pony was finally silenced as two pairs of wings were in front of her mouth. Speda was amazed she could understand every word the pink pony said, and was quite amused at how said pony was acting, and strangely felt almost, if not as attracted to the pink pony as she felt for Rainbow Dash. But they were just crushes, she knew, most likely nothing would happen

As Speda got up, she heard the pink pony start muttering under her breath in a soft rhythm like she was singing, but too quiet for anypony else to hear, and Speda caught the words 'I'm the pink pony', and 'The real Pink Pony', and unknowingly she started bobbing her head to the beat, causing Rainbow Dash to look at her in a slight weird way, like she didn't hear what Speda was hearing. Speda saw the pink pony smile, and wink at her, and assumed that maybe she was just close enough to hear her, even if Rainbow Dash appeared to be closer.

Other than that, the Pink Pony gave Speda a paper that said 'One free muffin at Sugar Cube Corner, signed by Pinkamena Diane Pie, aka The Real Pink Pony'. After that, said Pink Pony sped down the road in what she assumed is Sugar Cube Corner's direction.

Speda smiled and chuckled for all that she was worth, this was one of the few times her smiles were genuine, and it was very bright. She turned back to Rainbow Dash, and held her hoof out to the Rainbow maned pony.

"My name is Speda Hooves, by the way. It was a pleasure to meet you. I gotta go now though, so I'll see you this evening.", Speda said after Rainbow Dash shook her hoof, and used her magic to grab her bag from the floor, while flying up to the air, then started flying towards Canterlot.

Speda popped her back, and stretched her wings. She packed her things, which now consisted of several books that wouldn't fit in her bag, which had several more books already in it, and they were pretty heavy, given all the exhausting training with her eyes. If she didn't do the training all day, she would have been able to float them no problem, but she kept wanting to carry heavier, and heavier things for long periods of time, while flying around at the same time. She was indeed exhausted, but she was pretty exited for the dat- not a date with Rainbow Dash after she got home.

When she arrived, she put her stuff up into her personal locker at the hoof of her bed, and after that, she flew outside ready to look for the Rainbow-maned gal, only to find her sleeping on a cloud up above the Orphanage. While she wanted to immediately join her, she was hungry, and she thought back to that Pink Pony's slip from earlier.

"A free muffin hmm. Pinkamena Diane Pie, that's her name. Yep, I've decided I'll use the slip now!" Speda said, but not loud enough to wake the sleeping pegasus on top of the cloud. Speda started to glide down, looking for the food store place called Sugar Cube Corner, and when she found it, her stomach growled in hunger even more so, as she drooled a little at the sight of the building. It all looked delicious.

"Aww, you're supposed to use that after your and Dashie's date! That way we can have one our selves!", Came a teasing voice to the right, and Speda nearly leapt out of her skin, not completely hearing that certain Pink Pony from before.

"How did you know I was already here?", Speda asked in a bit of fright, but the silly Pink Pony just smiled.

"My Pinkie-sense!", pronounced the energetic pony, now walking ahead of Speda with a not so hidden sway to her hips, clearly teasing the pegasus pony. Speda, too confused to focus on that glorious sight, just shook her head, and tried to catch up to Pinkie Pie.

"What's this 'Pinkie-sense', Pinkie Pie?", She asked, and Pinkie's grin grew wider. Like she was happy she got to talk about the strange things about her to a new pony. Like she was doing now. "It alerts me to when something dangerous will happen, or let's me know when new ponies arrive in town! But it never specifies the location, but I just figured with a town as small as ours, I'd be quick to find them. Guess I was wrong about that, huh?"

Speda sort of understood, and shook her head at the crazyness of it all, but with a smile. A real one again. Pinkie Pie seemed to be exceptionally happy if everypony around her was happy.

What Speda didn't know was that Pinkie Pie was quickly catching on to her inner feelings, and was feeling her pain. And that hurt Pinkie Pie in a way nothing has in a long time. She turned towards Speda, and asked her the question.

"Hey.. Are you okay, Speda?", The question caught Speda off-gaurd. Of course she was okay. On the outside. On the inside however, there were always those raging feelings, sadness most prominent in them. And Speda knew it. But she chose to push those feelings down, or ignore them till she had to deal with them at night. When mother came, and protected her from the horribleness of her mind.

Speda, now thinking about it, she hadn't tried dealing with her inner-thoughts since three months ago. And as Speda was thinking about all the horrible things, all the way back to incedent zero, Pinkie was feeling the inner turmoil, and she felt all the pain from her. Without a second thought, the filly enclosed her fore-hooves around Speda, with her mane down in a sad like state, and teared up. This brought Speda out of her thoughts, and blush a little at the gesture, but she teared up as well, till they were both streaming tears, Pinkie from just feeling the amounts of years of pain put on her, and Speda from having to re-live a little of her past. Speda hugged Pinkie one more time, and wiped her tears away, then she smiled as best she could at Pinkie.

"I'm fine now, cuz of you. Thank you. May I get that muffin now? I'm still terribly hungry", Speda said, trying to get past her thoughts for now. And Pinkie Pie nodded, taking her by the hoof to the back of the place, and would prepare to make a special muffin of Speda's preferred choice.

Speda chose a mix of Chocolate Chip, bacon covered muffin, and while some ponies would raise an eye to that, it was completely normal for Pegasus ponies to eat meat in some of their meals, and she loved bacon especially. Pinkie didn't mind at all. In fact, she was about to make one for herself to try, but Speda said they can share hers. Pinkie grinned a lot at that, and Speda felt the teasing coming before she spoke, but she didn't mind, considering things.

As Speda chomped one side, Pinkie bit into the other, and she nearly choked at the wonderful taste, she's never tasted before, and so far Pinkie Liked.

Author's Note

Whelp, this is chapter four already. What do y'all think so far?

For those who will ask, as I've stated before, my changes will affect the story as a whole, so something even as minor as a flower will be extremely important later down the line.

Hope you enjoyed!
