A New Life

Twilight sat on the bench as she read a book. "Finally, some peace and quiet," she sighed happily to herself.

"Twilight!" a familiar voice wailed. It was coming from around the corner.

Twilight instantly slammed her book shut and gasped. "It's Pinkie Pie!" Desperatley, she looked around for a suitable place to hide. She quickly jumped into a nearby bush, trying to ignore all the thorns scratching at her purple coat. Pinkie approached the bench were Twilight was sitting.

"Huh? Coulda sworn she here," Pinkie thought out loud. Her tail twitched followed by her hoof shaking. "My Pinkie sense says she's in this bush." Carefully, she examined the bush and moved the leaves aside to find Twilight. "What are you doing in here, Twi?"

"I...fell," Twilight nervously chuckled. 'That's my peace and quiet gone' she thought to herself as she scrambled out of the bush. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"I got..." Pinkie was cut off as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Pinkie, are you okay?" Twilight asked, concerned.

"I...got...FIRED!" Pinkie sputtered through ragged sobs.

"Oh no! How?"

"I-I'd rather not t-talk about it. I came here to ask if y-you have any idea of wh-what new job I should do?" Pinkie said, beginning to regain her composure.

"Hmm, maybe you might want to..."

Twilight's voice drained out as Pinkie began to think about all the memories she had back at sugarcube corner. That was the life! But something else came into Pinkie's mind. Her mum had always wanted her to be a doctor. 'That's it! I'm gonna be a doctor!' Pinkie thought.

"Pinkie? Helloooo," Twilight said, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh uh that sounds great Twilight. Igottagonowseeya!" And with that she zoomed off leaving a confused Twilight Sparkle behind.

"So you want to be a doctor?" Dr Whooves asked

"Yep!" Pinkie replied enthusiastically.

"But you don't know the first thing about being a doctor. I'm afraid you're not qualified enough."

"Aw, okay then. I'll find a different job," Pinkie forlornly replied, "Want a cupcake though?" She held up a scrumptious looking cupcake which even made the doctor's mouth water.

"Ooh don't mind if I do!" he said as he took a bite.

"I better go now," Pinkie said as she stood up and turned towards the door.

"I don't feel so good," the doctor said from behind her. Thud! Pinkie turned to see that he had collapsed.

"What happened?!" she gasped. Then she turned to look at the half eaten cupcake. Her face drooped as she noticed what she had given him. "Uh oh. That's the cupcake which the Cake Twins accidently ruined when they were pretending to bake. I didn't know it would make somepony faint."

A creak was heard as the door behind her opened. "Doctor, I'm so glad you're here! We need you in room 19 urgently!" The nurse addressed Pinkie.

"Oh but I'm not an actual...hey did you say urgently? Oh no! What's wrong?!"

"No time to waste! " He pushed Pinkie Pie to the room and shut the door behind. Pinkie looked at the pony lying on the hospital bed. "What do we do first doctor?" The nurse questioned. "Should we get a stethoscope?"

"Uh what's a stethoscope again?" Pinkie asked.

"This is no time for jokes doctor! I'll bring the stethoscope!" He opened a drawer and brought it out. Pinkie held the stethoscope and smiled. 'Oh I've seen these being used before!' she thought as she put it on.

Twilight was sitting on a bench, reading her book like usual. 'The only two ponies who destruct my peace and quiet are Rainbow and Pinkie. Luckily for me, they're both out of my way!' Twilight smiled cockily to herself as she thought. But she couldn't help feel sorry for Pinkie losing her job. 'She ran away in such a rush earlier. Strange. I'm gonna go find her.' With that, she shut her book and began the search.

Twilight had scanned every inch of Ponyville but still no sight of her friend. She stopped in front of the hospital, the one place she hadn't searched. "No, no! She would never work there! But...this is the only place left," Twilight groaned. As she was about to enter, Pinkie got thrown out through the door. "Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed as she ran up to her friend, "WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?!"

"Getting a job?" Pinkie sheepishly smiled.

"But you're not a doctor!"

"That's why I got kicked out when Dr Whooves woke up."

"What do you mean 'woke up'?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't have a job." Pinkie sighed, "I'm gonna go and see sugarcube corner one last time."

Pinkie lowered her head and walked off. "Pinkie wait!" Twilight called after her friend.

"Just give it up Twilight! I have."

"Hey Mr and Mrs Cake, I just wanted to say-"

She was cut off by a warm hug by Mrs Cake. "Pinkie, we're so glad you're back!"

"You are?"

"We couldn't find anyone good enough to replace you. The job's still yours. If you want it, that is," Mr Cake said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Of course I want my job back! Being a doctor is no easy job, I'll tell you!" Pinkie laughed.

"A doctor?" The pair of them said in unison.

"Never mind!"

"Pinkie listen, you can keep your job as long as you never do what you did again. EVER again."

"I Pinkie promise," she said with a corny salute. The Cake couple nodded and left, leaving Pinkie behind the counter. "NEXT!" Pinkie yelled as Rainbow Dash casually flew up to the counter, her usual smirk planted on her face.

"Yo Pinks! I've got a wonderbolt show coming up so I could use a good ol' chocolate cake. Can't perform on an empty stomach!"

"Not the most healthiest option but okay, my loyal customer!" Pinkie began to pack her cake.

"I know but I don't have to care for my diet ALL the time. Today's an exception."

"There's your cake, have a nice show!" Pinkie waved as Rainbow flew off. "It's good to be back," she sighed happily.
