How I Met Your Pinkie

Around the third or fourth week of me being hospitalized, my pain subsided, but the doctors wanted to keep me in for another week just to be safe. Pinkie Pie came in with a little book she put together while I was pretending to sleep. She then gave me a little peck on the forehead, which made me smile. After she walked out of the room, I went and opened it up. It had minor spelling errors, but it was interesting nonetheless. It was about her everyday adventures without a Bend.

dedicated to Hypothesis Bend, because, who else would I dedicate it to?

Oh, and you too. I don't know if Bendy let you read this, or you stole this, but thanks for wanting to know!

So, anyway, I'm writing you a little story of what has happened to me while you were hospitalized. You know about the part when I left, so.. Hmm..Oh! I know! Day one!

So the first day out of the hospital, I was really sad. I was at a lack of friends without you. The other ponies couldn't handle me anymore. Like I planned for the swingset to fall on us to get pity. But  I trudged on, nonetheless. I went for about three weeks with no friends, until a shy little mare came into the school. Her name? Something along the lines of Fluberlie. Or at least that's what I heard. It was Fluttershy, I later found out though. She sorta came in around the same time I did. It was interesting though. It took her all of the half hour of recess to walk to the picnic table, for she kept apoligizing to the grass. It was like: *step* "Oh, I'm sorry.." *step* "Oh! I'm so so sorry.." *step* I hope that didn't hurt. I'm sorry."

You facehoofed too, didn't you? It was super duper adorable though. Nothing against you Bendy, but she was really cute. It questioned my straightness.

"What'cha reading Bend?"

"Hmm? Oh, just something that Pinkie wrote."

"Oh.. I see.." She rolled over onto her side, away from me.

"Hey, Applejack?" Her head snapped back towards me, and she winced.

"Agh! Yeah, sugarcu- Bend?"

"What really happened that made you hospitalized? I guess the haycart was logical, but you don't just tie faulty knots then sleep right down the hill from where you tied the knot. What honestly happened?" She looked shocked.

"How did you..?"

"Training to be in the Royal Guard Stealth Program. What did you really do?"

Yeah, you are probably thinking, "No Pinkie! Stay with me! (or Hypothesis, if you aren't him. Which you most likely aren't seeing as he will probably share this because it is an a-maz-ing story!)" Don't worry. I never hit on her. But I did say hi to her. Big mistake, I don't know if you know Fluttershy or not, but that filly is more shy than... well, everything! This is pretty much how the first conversation went:

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! What's yours?"

"...Fluttershy..." She squeaked out at a volume so low that if she had a microphone it would make her sound like she was whispering.

"Sorry.. Didn't catch that. Run it by me again please?"

"......Fluttershy...." Now the microphone would make her sound like she was speaking regularly.

"Ok Fluberlie! Nice to meet you!"

"..Um, its Fluttershy.. If you don't mind.." Much better.

"Of course I don't mind! Its your name!"

"Oh, I'm sorry.. You can have it.."

"What?"

"My name."

"....Right... No, you can keep it for now. Wanna play?" Then the bell rang and Flutter rushed inside, I walked in at a leisurely pace, wondering about the new girl. Was she abused or something? Nobody can be that shy, can they?

When I stepped into the schoolhouse, and took my seat, the teacher gave me a don't be late next time look and started. She didn't even introduce the filly. Well, except if I missed that..  Class started as usual, but I was too focused on the new kid to pay any attention to the lecture.

It surprises me how fast time goes while staring at someone. The bell rang and everyone else made a mad dash for the door, including the teacher. Sometimes I worry about this school. It ended up with just me and Fluttershy in the room.

"Um.. Hi?" I ventured.

She squeaked in response.

"What happened to you? Why are you that shy?" Fluttershy looked surprised, then confused.

"Um.. I don't know.. Nopony has asked me that before.. I guess its just who I am.."

"Ah! She speaks!"

"Oh! I'm sorry..."

"No, no! Its a good thing!"

"It.. Is..?" Sheesh, how socially deprived was this girl?

"Yeah! I like it when you talk, you have a nice voice!"

She blushed and something clicked in my head.

"Oh, not like that. I'm straight for a Bend."

Oh. My. Gosh. Bendy, you should've seen the confused look on that poor filly's face. I forgot she hadn't met you.

"Um.. That doesn't really make sense."

"Yeah, it probably shouldn't for you. He was hospitalized before you came here. Can you fly?"

"Well, yes, but I don't like to. Bad experience, and I like the ground better." She peeked out from behind her mane more, and I noticed her crystal blue eyes. Like diamonds, Bendy, but better.

"Oh, I see."

"I'm sorry, I have to go. Its dinnertime for my animal friends."

"Ooh! Can I come?! Can I, can I?"

"Um.. I don't know, I'm really sorry, but they are still kinda scared of other ponies."

"Oh, I see." I gave her a smile to show I would be ok. "Well, I guess I should head back to Sugarcube Corner. My chores won't do themselves!"

Now, the chore statement was technically true, but I had already done them. The Cakes who let me live with them said that I had to at least help out in some way, so I clean dishes and learn how to make cupcakes and other assorted goodies. Nah, I was going home to write.. Well, this!

TO BE CONTINUED

"Applejack, I'm waiting. It can't be that hard to tell me, can it? Unless.."

"Yep, I'm surprised you couldn't figure that out, sugarcube."

Just then, the door burst open, and in the corridor was a certain pink pony and cream pegasus, just as Pinkie had described her.

"Hiya Bend! Hiya Jack!" Pinkie Pie chirped.

"Its Appleja-"

"This here is my friend Fluttershy!" She cut in, ignoring Applejack's statement. "Fluttershy, this is Bendy and Jacky!"

"Applejack."

"Right. Bendy and Applejack."

I put my hoof up in greeting, and donned a light smile. From what I read about this filly, she needed all the kindness she could get.

"Hello Fluttershy. I'm Hypothesis Bend."

"Oh, right.. You're Pinkie's coltfriend?"

Even though I wasn't facing her, I could feel Applejack's eyes on me.

"You're Pinkie's what?"

Well, this just went from bad to horrible.

"Oh, I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have said that.." Fluttershy slowly started backing out of the room, but Pinkie pulled her back in and closed the door.

I sighed. "It's ok. I was bound to tell her sooner or later. I guess its sooner." I turned to Applejack, "Pinkie is my fillyfriend..?"

Why did I say that in a question?

"Why didn't you tell me this? It could've saved me the broken spine." She had tears in her eyes. I didn't know I was this wanted this badly by two ponies. I saw Fluttershy whisper something into Pinkie's ear. The light blush on her face told it all. Three ponies. I've got to move to Canterlot, this will only end badly. But then I will miss all of these girls. Well, Pinkie and Applejack at least. I hadn't really met Fluttershy yet. I quietly cursed the gods that made my life this way, I never asked for my life to be a romance novel. Why do choices have to be so hard to make sometimes?

And then the lights started to flicker. I looked outside and noticed that it was raining, then I looked at Pinkie and Fluttershy. They were soaked, why hadn't I noticed this before? Cursing my stupidity for not doing this earlier, I pressed the button to call a nurse.

"Hold on, sorry that I didn't get you towels earlier, they are coming in now."

Fluttershy gave a grateful nod and a tiny 'thank you', while Pinkie started gushing on about how I was the greatest.

About five minutes later, a nurse walked in with two towels.

"Finally figured it out, eh?" She asked with a smile and gave the towels to the two drenched and shivering fillies. "I was waiting for you to call." And without another word, she left.

"I didn't know a nurse could be that much of a jerk," Fluttershy ventured, before drying herself off. The lights flickered again.

"I didn't know a hospital could lose power," I replied. "I thought they had to keep it on so that the patients with medication and I.Vs wouldn't die or get worse." The lights flickered again, and went out. A click was heard at the door, we were locked in, all four of us. In a hospital. With the power out. Yeesh.
