Memories Long Forgotten

Slowly the pink head on his shoulder raised up and turned till she was looking right at him, her eyes were
puffy and all her face fur was matted with tears. As she looked into his eyes she continued, "I forgive you,
it's not your fault, you never meant to hurt anyone, yes you shouldn't have been their in the first place or
been doing, but you were and you would never have intentionally did something that would hurt another
pony. I know that now, no that's not true, I always knew that but I was so mad, I needed something to hate
and you were there, something physical to get back at what had been done to me. You don't deserve all
this" shushing his protests she pressed on, "you did deserve punishment but not to this extent, you
made a mistake and others paid dearly for it, but your only a pony, we all make mistakes, just some have
bigger consequences than others. I know what you did and I know you truly regret it, so I forgive you and
I love you" she finished softly.

He looked at her in wonder, after awhile he was finally able to respond,"Thank you, this is more than I
could have ever expected, I love you too and want to stay with you forever if you'd let me"
"Of course I would",she breathed as she leaned down and pressed her lips against his.
They kissed for several seconds till she had to pull back as he coughed, a little blood running out
the side of his mouth.
"Oh my gosh I'm sorry I forgot your hurt we need to get you to the hospital!"
"It's alright i'm f-" another hacking cough caused him to stop, "ok yeah I guess I do need medical
attention" he grinned sheepishly.

Quiet till now Dash could no longer hold it in, "Just like that you forgive him! after all he did to you,
how he musta made you fee-"
"DASH! HOW DARE YOU ASSUME TO KNOW HOW I FEEL!" panicked as she saw Pinkie get off
Sonic and advance toward her, Dash backed up, cringing at every word thrown at her, "WHAT WOULD
YOU KNOW LIVING UP IN YOUR NICE BIG HOUSE NEVER TOO FAR TO TAKE A TRIP TO
CLOUDSDALE AND VISIT YOUR WELL OFF PARENTS! AND YOU" seeing Dash properly cowed,
pressed back first to the bed, she turned to Twi who let out a Fluttershy like squeak, "TWO FINE
PARENTS WHO MADE SURE YOU HAD THE BEST SCHOOLING AND A BIG BROTHER WHO'S
SUCCESSFUL AND GAVE YOU A GREAT SISTER IN LAW, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME!" Twi curled
up in a scared ball and whimpered, "I didn't say anything, why are you yelling at me?"
"FINALLY YO-" Pinkie's voice tapered off as she turned to AJ, to Twi's and Dash's surprise she ran over
and threw herself into AJ's arms and hugged her burying her head in Applejack's mane, "It hurts, it hurts
so much, I'm so scared" she whimpered
"there, there sugar cube it will be alright, I understand, we're all here for you" AJ soothed as she stroked
Pinkie's mane.

They stayed like this for awhile, Twi and Dash looking on wondering what was going on till they were all
interrupted as Sonic had another coughing fit.
"Oh no! we need to get him to hospital, quick Dash get a cart, AJ, Twilight help me get him to the door.
In no time at all they had him loaded in the back of a cart and Dash zooming him to the hospital, inside
Pinkie followed as he was quickly taken to the back while Twi and AJ stayed at the front to do the paper
work and Dash got rid of the cart.
"So what happened?" the nurse asked as Twilight filled out the form.
"Pinkie got upset and attacked him" Twilight said absently.
"I would expect jokes like this from some of your friends Twilight but not you, if you don't want to say
find a more tactful and truthful way next time" the nurse said angrily and walked off in a huff.
Twilight was stunned for a moment and a little hurt too, she thought about what she had said, then AJ and
her turned to look at each other with knowing smiles on there face and burst out laughing.

Catching up with Pinkie who was on a bench in the hall, she caught up her three friends on what was
happening, "They rushed him into the surgery room, a little later a nurse came out and let me know he'd
be ok, he has one broken rib and three cracked ones and some internal bleeding but nothing they can't
handle"
"Want us to stay here with you?" Twilight asked softly
"No its fine, go on I just want to be alone for a bit" she said with content smile on her face.

Back in the waiting room they went and sat down, "I don't get it, she looks fine and happy, Why hasn't her
mane poofed up again like the other time at her surprise birthday party?" Dash asked
"I'm not sure her mane will ever poof up again." both ponies looked at Twilight in disbelief at this statement.
"Why wouldn't it?" AJ asked
"Our memories define us as a person, with these new ones or should I say old unlocked memories Pinkie
is gonna change, I'm not saying she'll no longer be Pinkie Pie, she still will be just a little different. We've
seen her go through several transformations in reaction to different things but even though we've seen her
hair go straight before and it meant depression and loss doesn't mean that's the only things that would
cause it. I think this time it's a way of showing a growth into maturity in her mind, she's always been like a
kid in a grown body but I noticed on the way here in little ways her acting like a grown confident and mature
pony. To put it simply I think Pinkie has finally grown up and will, well be more like the rest of now."
Both her friends ears were laid back tight to their heads, "You mean we'll no longer have our hyper partying
friend? has she finally run out of energy?" Dash whispered.
"That is a strong possibility" Twi answered solemnly.
"Is that a good thing? or bad?" AJ asked hesitantly.
"I honestly don't know, only time will tell" all three sat quietly contemplating Twilight's answer.

" We're done know and he's stable, you can go in and see him now, he wants to see you" the nurse told
Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie hurried into the room where they had taken Sonic to rest and plopped her self next to his bed, front
hoofs hanging on the side.
"Hi" he said with a quiet smile on his face. She could see from the bandages around his shoulders that his
chest must be almost completely wrapped in bandages.
"Hi, how you doing?"
"Ok a little light headed from whatever they dosed me with but the pain is gone"
"I'm glad. how bad was it"
"Not too much so, the doctor said I'd be able to leave in four days as long as I took it easy the next few weeks"
"So what's gonna happen to us?"
"That depends on what you want"
In answer she leaned over him and pushed her lips to his. They stayed together for awhile with no interruptions
this time.
Breathing heavily Pinkie finally sat back down, "I love you, I never want to be without you again, would you move
in with me, in Ponyville?"
"Of course I will, I'll stay for all of eternity anywhere as long as it's with you"
Leaning down and locking lips again Pinkie Pie knew deep down that now everything was right in the world.
