Um. Hello. My name is.. Um. Flutt...F...

I'm sorry am I being too loud?

Er... please excuse me I don't really talk a lot which is... Well it's going to make my side of the story very tough to explain. But I'll try my best. As you know, Twilight and Pinkie Pie got into a bit of a... well, how should I say it? I guess a friendly quarrel. No. One friend doesn't end up hitting the other if it's supposed to be friendly.

*Gasp*

Oh shoot I ended up spoiling it didn't I?

*Sigh*

I'm sorry. This whole thing got me shaken up as what I saw. I really can't make sense of it anymore. This really should be between Twilight and Pinkie, but I guess this affects all of us since we're all friends. Um. I guess I should start from the beginning as it lead up to it. Would that be alright?

The past couple of weeks I knew Pinkie Pie was getting into a business deal with another pony named Crystal Clear and together they were going to make a club called Planet Cupcakes. It sounds wonderful and I'm very happy for Pinkie Pie. She went on and on about how she wanted to bring more ponies together and have fun doing so. Pinkie Pie bounced and bounced around my cottage again and again. Angel only shook his head, my little bunny was reading his magazine I had to send away for. It's a bad magazine that has... Um. Suggestive material. A rather rude little bunny... Angel honey don't stare at me I'm trying to tell my side of the story here. Oh dear.

I didn't really have much to say on my behalf. Pinkie Pie and I were sitting in my cottage looking at my calendar as she was flipping through it. I just recently bought a new two year calendar with baby animals hiding in everyday items. You see this kitten in the pop part box? It's so cute! Oh sorry. I was supposed to be telling my side. I keep trailing off. I'm sorry. Um. So anyway Pinkie Pie and I were looking through the dates. Pinkie Pie told me that our three year anniversary is coming up since we first met.

*Gasp*

That's right, I almost forgot. But Pinkie told me not to worry. Such a nice pony she is. She said, "Why not buy presents for each pony?" I do like getting presents. Especially more than one. Though my birthday was usually spent by myself alone before I came to know any other pony.

Pinkie Pie wrote the reminder and invitation. She asked me if it looked alright. I just nodded. I loved all of Pinkie's work and all the trouble she goes through just to put a smile on every pony's face. She is just a doll. Pinkie Pie delivered all the invitations and reminders. I just went back to feeding and tending to my animals as usual. Then I forgot I was running low on bird seeds and off to the market place I went.

I ran into Apple Jack. Selling her gorgeous red apples with pride. Oh they looked so good. I just had to buy one to support a friend. Apple Jack said it was on the house, but I offered to pay. Apple Jack insisted and that was that. We talked about the anniversary and what might be a good present for the others. Though, what was I going to give was a mystery. I'm not very good at deciding what to get every pony, usually I find out whatever I give always ends up in a corner or collects dust. Pinkie didn't say there was a minimum of what we could spend so... Oh no Fluttershy don't be cheap that's heartless.

Oh dear...

The anniversary wasn't until a couple weeks anyway. That's when I noticed Twilight was acting... Rather uptight about something. She would stay in her library for most of the day and would only come out when she's hungry. Or send Spike out. Poor little thing, he seemed like he was in a rush as well. Unfortunately why I mentioned him is that he bumped into me as I finally bought the bird seeds. I dropped my bag, he dropped what looked like supplies. He gathered them up quickly and apologized. I did as well, "I'm sorry Spike. You're not hurt are you?"

"No. No." Spike brushed himself off. "I got to get these back to Twilight. She's having another obsessive compulsive moment again."

"Oh. Is it bad?" I asked.

"It's Twilight. That's pretty much it about her, she likes to keep things organized with the thing she's busy with." Spike explained. "Plus some things she sent away for to be made. It's a su... Uh... Nevermind."

"What thing?" I asked again.

If Spike had a poker face. That was the worst one he ever had. "She apparently thinks she found an error in one of the history books she was reading. I had to go out and get other versions of it to see if she was correct." Spike was annoyed as usual. Poor little guy never gets to have a lot of fun, "Once Twilight sinks her teeth into something she never let's go."

Isn't that the truth... I asked him if he had lunch yet. His little tummy rumbled so I gave him the apple I got from Apple Jack. Spike needed it more than I did. He said thanks and raced back to the library. Apparently Twilight thinks she was onto something big as Spike also explained that the book version she grew up had some conflicts with another book they had to send away for. I don't know the whole story so I'll just mosey on along.

I was shopping in the general store the next day until I found it. A magnet making kit. I stared at it with interest. Then I wondered. Maybe I can buy some of these for my friends! Then I looked at the price. Oh dear. I only had enough money for one kit. If Angel was here he would have smacked me if I didn't come up with this earlier. Buy one, then make magnets for my friends. Yay! Oh sorry, am I loud again?

I bought the kit along with other things and got to work right away. I could make any shape I wanted to which was perfect. I had enough for five plus one for Spike. I started carefully drawing my friends' cutie marks on paper. I must of been trying to get them just right for hours. Before I knew it, it was already time for bed. Oh dear. I put out some food again for my animals then put my project away in a special place so no pony can come across it and spoil the surprise. I went to bed dreaming of that day when my friends see their presents from me. Thanking me for such a unique gift.

The next day Pinkie invited us to look at an old building in Ponyville that had no pony living in it. She used her loan money to buy the building and showed us around. Did I mention that Twilight wasn't there? Sorry, that was important. Twilight wasn't there as she was still locked away in the library. Rarity screamed at the sight of cobwebs, Dash even threw a spider on her and laughed. I took the spider outside to let it go. Poor little guy. At this time, I finally got a chance to meet Pinkie's partner Crystal Clear. Oh she's so pretty and looked brave too. Oh. Or at least knew what she was doing. She introduced herself as a graduate student of Sleipnir academy, that's like almost on the other side of Equestria. She wanted to create and manage a business. Though it was rather peculiar. A smart, business oriented pony like Crystal Clear wanted to be wrapped up in Pinkie Pie's game? Rarity vouched for her. She had another pony with her too. A rather, quiet pony who was occupied with her little gadget device. A blue haired unicorn pony with her mane tied into a pony tail and wore a small red leather sleeveless jacket. I wonder if Rarity made that for her?

Crystal Clear explained the business opportunity. A club for every pony to hang out to have a drink and eat, sit down and socialize with other ponies plus would have little sub shops on the side. She listed off with us if any of the ideas sounded okay. A book store? We nodded, Twilight would like that. A coffee shop and bakery? We all looked at Pinkie. Wouldn't that be conflict of interest? She already worked for Mr. and Mrs. Cake wouldn't opening a bakery in a newer building just dwindle down the other one? A dance hall? We nodded. Banquet hall? Definitely. A gym? We gasped and it was unanimous. A cell phone store? We were intrigued. Kiosks? I raised my hand and asked what that was. Crystal Clear explained nicely its just like the stands outside like with Apple Jack selling her apples. We clapped her hooves to the ground. It all sounds like a hip idea. She listed off more ideas. We were just too excited for all of this. Though I asked if there was a chance for a store for animals. Crystal looked at all the idea lists on her chart, she said she could maybe make a supply store for animal food if that's what I meant. Really, I wanted a place for animals to hang out and enjoy themselves too. But I guess that's alright.

*sigh*

I went home a little disappointed about the whole animal hang out but as Crystal explained it, was more of a big store with a bunch of little stores in it along with banquet halls. But what got me was, she winked at me and gave me a hug saying I was such a sweet little thing she would work something in. Guess that made me feel a bit better, Angel might be nicer if he had a place to unwind every now and then. I went back to work on the magnets and got one of them done. I got Twilight's cutie mark down to the T after referencing back and forth between pictures. Oh it came out so wonderful. I couldn't wait to try the others. I attempted Apple Jack's next, seemed simple enough. An apple couldn't be that hard right? I spent all day doing Apple Jack's and again lost track of time. Oh shoot not again. I threw out some food and made sure Angel got his carrot souffle just right. Such a picky rabbit.

The next day I tried working on the magnets again and looked at the box. It said even a child could do it, why is it giving me such a problem? I was only on Rarity's next and already I couldn't wait until this ordeal was over. I decided to go out this morning, made sure my animals had their food this time and put my project away again. Pinkie Pie kept going back and forth between the Sugar Cube corner and Planet Cupcakes to inspect the building process. So far not so bad but Pinkie said something about the building not being ready until a couple of months. That was too bad because I was looking forward to it all. The place wasn't bad either once you think about it. It was on the other side of town but about only a twenty-minute walk from my cottage. This way I won't have to walk all the way into town just to get food then have trouble bringing it back to my place.

I met up with Pinkie Pie who was ecstatic with excitement as she was showing me blue prints even though I couldn't tell what exactly I was looking at. I just complimented and nodded my head. I'm so proud of Pinkie getting further in her life. Talk about timing. We found Aquamarie looking at the fish tank in the pet shop window. She just stood there for what seemed like minutes like she was entranced by the fish. I stood next to her and watched the fish as well. I admit, they do seem whimsical. Pinkie Pie broke the silence and reintroduced us.

"Um... Hello." I politely waved.

Aquamarie; I thought was a bored pony but also politely said hello. She explained that she was just looking at the fish in the window. I looked back and noticed the many types. So wonderful seeing them swim around. Though there was this one fish that was bigger than test and had a very bloated face. It looked at me, I looked back at it. Eventually I looked away, gave me the creeps but I'm sure it was harmless. At least from what Aquamarie told me saying what the fish was. I just admired the smaller colorful fish. Pinkie then out of nowhere said she lost track of time and had to talk to Crystal again leaving us alone. Somehow, I know Pinkie was just trying to make us friends. I wouldn't mind, I mean if she wanted to.

Aqua then pressed her hoof to the glass and said, "That jellyfish shouldn't be in the tank with the other jellyfish. It could die."

"What do you mean?" I was puzzled, my aquatic animal knowledge wasn't as good as knowing land animals.

"That one floating in the corner is trying to avoid the one floating in the middle here. The middle one is known to have this gel substance on its skin that is toxic to certain types of other jellyfish." Aqua explained as she walked to the front door. "I got to tell the pony working the register."

"Oh dear." I said. I followed her in, that poor jellyfish could die.

"Excuse me sir." Aqua tried to get the pony to pay attention. "The jellyfish tank you got there to the side. Uh you got two types of jellyfish that shouldn't be in the same tank."

"Boss told me it was alright to put them in the tank together." The pony shifted his shoulders and seemed rather uncaring.

"Hey! It's not okay! That one has a poison on it that could kill the other one." Aqua shouted.

"Listen lady the boss here told me himself he looked into it. Really what makes you so worried?" The pony picked up a magazine to ignore Aqua. This went on for another couple of minutes.

I got mad quickly. Aqua was trying to persuade the employee but he wouldn't listen. I slammed my hooves onto the counter and put on my nasty face. "YOU'RE GOING TO GET THAT POOR JELLYFISH OUT OF THAT TANK FROM THE VENOMOUS ONE! OR I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING NOT NICE!" I shouted. Then I looked around to see the other customers look at me, I blushed and pressed my hooves to the floor. "or... um if you want to..."

Somehow in the end. We walked out owning the jellyfish that Aqua tried to rescue. Wasn't cheap either but I kept looking at the little thing. Couldn't say I approved at the thought of owning something weird at first but now I look at it. I can see how Aqua thought it was interesting. Indeed it was cute. Almost looks like a see through octopus.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this Fluttershy." Aqua apologized, "I'll pay you for your half once I get the money."

This shocked me, "No. It was pleasure helping a friend. Matter of fact I think the little guy took a liking to us."

Aqua laughed, "I think she likes you more though because you were the last push we needed to get her out of there." I lifted up the container to look at the swimming jellyfish just floating. How could she tell this was a girl? "Um. I should have bought a tank with this but the fish itself wasn't cheap. Only problem is where are we going to keep it? I don't think Rarity would like me using her bowls or bathtub as a temporary tank. Not sure about that cat of hers."

"I... could keep it at my place." I spoke up.

"Oh you're such a sweet heart if you have room. But I don't want you to give up your tub just for this." Aqua was flustered.

"Not at all. How much could a jellyfish tank cost?" I asked.

"About one hundred to five hundred bits." Aqua brought up.

I nearly almost dropped the container on the ground. "Almost that much?" I gasped.

Aqua nodded, "Yeah but some of them come with the things needed to keep the jellyfish cozy." She rubbed her head and winced, "Again sorry for dragging you into this I'll be sure to keep up my part of the bargain." I kept trying to tell her it would be my pleasure to take care of the jellyfish on her behalf as she could visit it anytime she wanted. Also to help educate me on how they behave. We named the jellyfish; Jelly. Not very original I know but this is my first jellyfish and I'm not very ready. Jelly would have to stay in my bathtub until I got enough money to get her a tank. Had to make sure Angel would not try to take a bath until further notice, instead use the shower head outside like the other animals I wash off. He was not pleased in the least. Aqua poured some food into the tub for Jelly to eat, boy that stuff looked bad.

Aqua kept checking her little gadget thingy only to her mumble that the service is out. She apologized for some reason, "I'm sorry Fluttershy but I can't get a signal out here. I just wanted to look up some more stuff about Jellyfish but I guess since you got a lot of trees its just blocking the signal."

Oh. No need to apologize, "I think my friend Twilight Sparkle has books on aquatic animals. She could probably help?" Aqua nodded accepting my hospitality. We left Jelly alone in the tub with her food and made sure the doors and windows were locked. Angel didn't seem happy. We walked to the library only to find out it was locked. "Oh... I guess she isn't home." I sighed in disappointment. But then again she locks the door when she doesn't want to be bothered. I don't know why but I took a gamble. I knocked on the door.

"Twilight Sparkle you say?" Aqua looked at me.

I nodded, "Yes the town librarian."

She frowned, "Not much of a library if you lock it when a pony might want to come in."

That caught my attention easily, "Yes I don't see many ponies come in and out of here. Just Twilight and her assistant. But she has her reasons."

"Oh well. No harm in trying Fluttershy." Aqua shifted her shoulders. She pulled out her gadget then smiled, "Oh good. Service." She turned her head, "So what kind of pony is Twilight Sparkle? I'm just curious if you don't mind me asking."

"Oh not at all. She's a very kind and helpful friend. She really knows a lot too." I smiled. But to my disappointment... Twilight never answered the door. I guess she was not in or too wrapped up in her studies. I could have flown into the window but that would be invading privacy so Aqua and I looked up the jellyfish manual on her gadget. Sure were a lot of facts. So I invited her back to my cottage for a friendly sit down and cheesecake. We ate and she noticed my project was sitting out as I forgot to put it away. Oh dear I forgot to put it away, she looked at it and smiled. Said they were cool and she used to make these with her dad when she was younger. I showed her what I made so far, only two along with Rarity's almost finished. Aqua offered to help, which was great because I didn't have anything else to do today besides look after my animals. We ended up finishing the magnets and even made more than I thought I was going to make. I took extra precaution for my friends' magnets, threw glitter on them. This was a fun filled afternoon.

So everyday up until the day Pinkie Pie said she was going to throw a huge party, I let Aqua hang out with me and help me with my animals. It was so great getting help. The more she came over the more I learned, we became fast friends. Jelly was doing just fine swimming around in my tub as I would have never know she would have needed salt water to live. Think about after when the party finishes I'll just have enough to buy her the tank she needs. More and more Jelly started to surprise me, just today she started glowing different colors. I thought she was sick but Aqua told me she was just like a mood ring. I stared in awe. We both laughed.

Pinkie Pie came back and told us about the giant party. She seemed really happy and asked me if I can lend her some of my animals for a petting zoo. I gasped, that was such a wonderful idea I didn't pass up on it. Pinkie then explained the petting zoo was for Dinky Do's party. Oh that Dinky Do was such a cutie, her mom Derpy wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed but she really likes to make her daughter happy. I asked if Aqua was willing to help, she nodded in agreement and picked out which animals were going to be there. Some sheep, some chickens, bunnies, a couple pigs. Pinkie Pie already asked if Big Mac was willing to build a few pens, he agreed. So thoughtful.

The day of the bash finally came. Pinkie Pie mentioned the anniversary would be the last party of the night. I gathered my gifts and left them at the Sugar Cube corner. My animals made their way easily to their pens ready for the party. The party started at five and I thought at first it was almost mass chaos. Ponies were everywhere. I was at Dinky's party watching over the animals as well as the fillies playing. Aqua was going in between catering between parties and then watching the animals. Dinky had many guests at her party, then again I'm not sure half of them were supposed to be there and were just party hopping. She got many gifts, she blew out her candles on her cake that the Sugar Cube corner made for her, they played games and feed the animals. I just love seeing fillies play with the animals. Then suddenly the music over at Rarity's place just boomed.

Pinkie came by to apologize and asked me to check on Twilight to see if she can come to the party later. Was Twilight still in the library? I went without question and knocked on her door. She answered it, her hair was a bit of a mess but also looked stressed. I asked, "Twilight. You look... nice this evening."

She frowned. "Yes apparently this report I'm working on is taking a toll on me."

I tilted my head to try and show interest, "What's it about?"

Twilight rubbed her face but grunted, "Fluttershy it's like trying to explain physics in two minutes."

I winced but was worried, "Twilight would you like me to bring you anything from the party I'm helping with? Derpy said she had extra cake if you wanted any."

Twilight frowned, "Did by any chance... did Derpy tell you she might have something big back at the post office she could not deliver for me?" I saw the sudden desperate look in her eyes. "Because I was... really counting on it."

I tapped my chin, "N..No Twilight, Derpy never mentioned a delivery today. Was it important"? I asked.

Twilight rubbed her face again and seemed to really want me out of here after I gave her an honest reply, "Whatever Fluttershy, I got to get back to work. This thing is due tomorrow and I'm trying to put the finishing touches on it. Just talking now is delaying me greatly."

Just then Rainbow Dash sneaked up from behind me, "Ah come on Twilight let loose once in a while!" Dash was enjoying herself a little too much. She must have been party hoping.

"No!" She slammed the door on the two of us.

"Party pooper." Dash frowned then turned around.

Dash tagged along as I went back to the party I was helping with. It was wrapping up anyway as Derpy paid off her invoice in full to Crystal Clear and thanked her for her services. Crystal was very happy with the results and thanked all of us for helping. Pinkie Pie again hopped in front of us reminding us that the anniversary was getting ready. I didn't do much party hoping like Dash did but I did learn that Pinkie's parents were in town and that she was throwing a welcoming party for them. Funny, Pinkie always described them of being old-fashioned but from what I saw is that they loved socializing.

Some time went by as I had Aqua and Rainbow Dash help me gather my animals and return them home. Made sure they were fed. I checked on Jelly to make sure she was okay. Floating there like a little swimming angel that she is. Angel, again mad he can't take a bath and had to settle for a shower every time. We walked back to the bash as some of them were finally dying down. Pinkie looked asked if Twilight was willing to come. I just said she didn't look too happy tonight and said no. Pinkie grunted then frowned. I knew she had enough. She gathered all of us as Aqua excused herself to go help out Crystal. We found Spike with Rarity. Spike unlocked the door to the library and walked in. Twilight wasn't around. Spike said she must have been in the basement.

Pinkie Pie shouted and knocked, "TWILIGHT! YOO HOO!"

The door opened and out came Twilight who looked like she wasn't in the best of moods.

"Come on Twilight! The party is about be over in a couple of hours!" Pinkie bounced.

"Pinkie. I told you I'm not coming to your party. I need to do work for the princess and its due tomorrow." Twilight was frustrated, looked like she could kill some pony.

Pinky blew into a party blower, "Why didn't you work on it earlier?"

She was gritting her teeth. "Because you hired me to watch over your spending. I told you time and time again you're going over but you just kept adding to the list." Her voice grew higher. "You didn't listen, you're over an estimated five thousand bits and counting but you kept wanting more and told me time and time again don't worry."

Pinky just smiled like she usually did. "Twilight I got this covered."

"How?" Twilight fumed.

Pinkie smiled, "With my savings. And I'm taking out a loan."

Twilight hoof slapped herself, "Pinkie. the last time you filed for a loan you got rejected for various reasons."

Somehow I knew that Pinkie wasn't going to back down, "Twilight. Seriously stop reading those books and have fun with us."

"Yeah have some fun!" Dash cheered throwing her arm into the air in triumph.

"Come on, you been to the others one why not this one?" Apple Jack asked.

"I TOLD YOU I HAD WORK TO DO!" She shouted.

Pinkie pushed her face up against hers, "It won't kill you."

"No. I had all week to work on it and you whined about how I was the only one to keep track of your spending. Well there you go Pinkie. Thanks to you my report is going to be late." Twilight shouted again, "So please will you leave me alone?"

"Um. Twilight maybe you should..." I tried to cut in.

Pinky grabbed her arm, "Come on. Some cake will cheer you up."

"I said no!" Twilight pulled her arm away. Pinkie could tame even a dangerous bear to like cake but somehow I think Twilight was more ferocious.

I tried to slid in, "Um. Pinkie maybe you should..." My eyes were filled with worry, I looked at the others who were watching uneasily.

"Twilight stop being difficult!" Pinkie tried to pull her arm again. "I'm sure the princess can under..."

*WHAM*

My eyes winced. Pinkie was on the floor holding her face. I saw blood. I wanted to turn my head away but I couldn't. I stared at Pinkie in horror. Twilight would never do what I thought she just did, but she did anyway. She just hit Pinkie in the eye. Oh my Celestia is blood coming out of her eye? Oh no, no, no, no. Blood! I wanted to rush over but I'm a bit peckish when it comes to blood even when wrapping up band aids I don't like seeing blood. I looked at Twilight. The angry Twilight was gone. Now replaced with a confused version. She stood there trying to walk over to Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie Pie I'm... I'm." I knew Twilight was trying to apologize, but Pinkie just got back up on her four hooves. She was crying no doubt, she was crying so hard that she started hiccuping as she ran out of the library. I heard Rarity grumbling when she looked at Twilight with angry eyes. Something tells me that Rarity knew what Twilight was up to more than I did. Then Rarity ran out of the library calling Pinkie's name over and over again. Pinkie Pie's cries I could still hear but were fading because of the distance. Twilight looked at us, she was scared and sincere, "Girls? Girls?"

I looked at Apple Jack who stepped up. "Twilight... You're a nice pony but what you just did... was not you."

I was scared. Shivering almost.

Rainbow Dash erupted into anger as she pushed past Apple Jack and was close to Twilight's face. "I SHOULD KICK YOU IN THE FACE!" Rainbow Dash was pure red. Dash isn't one to see any of her friends get hurt even if it's from another friend. Oh dear.

"DASH!" Apple Jack grabbed her tail and pulled her back. Dash landed on her face. She wiped her face off from the dust on the floor as Twilight I guess was studying too much that she forgot to clean. Dash was pacing back and forth trying to blow off some steam. Apple Jack said, "We'll leave you alone."

I saw Dash leaving the library but before she did. She mustered enough strength to tip over a small shelf. She was angry, she wanted to blow off steam but was doing it for the worst reasons. Books were all over the floor. Dash finally left but I heard her mumble, "Witch." Well, replace the W with a B. Apple Jack winced, Twilight with her mouth open to see her books just thrown all over the floor in rage.

"Twilight. I know you said no but all Pinkie was doing is making sure you aren't cooked up in the library all alone." Apple Jack shook her head in disappointment, "Well Twilight. We'll leave you alone and then some. Hopefully this blows over." Then she followed Dash, I was about to do the same. I noticed earlier when Twilight was arguing with Pinkie, Spike slipped upstairs to hide in his basket. At first I didn't want to leave him alone but somehow, I think Twilight's anger was gone for the rest of the night.

She looked at me. My blood ran cold. "Fluttershy please... I didn't me..."

I didn't want her to see my eyes water as I closed the door slowly with my teeth.

Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash didn't say much as we walked to the Sugar Cube corner together. Dash was fuming, Apple Jack kept a straight face but sighed now and then. I just hid my face underneath my hair. We found Rarity sitting outside the Sugar cube corner, just sitting there.

"Rarity? Did Pinkie Pie go inside?" Apple Jack asked.

Rarity nodded, she bit her bottom lip I noticed, "Yes. Her eye is in worse shape than we thought. Mr. Cake called the ambulance and they'll be here quickly."

"You think we can pop in just to check on her?" Apple Jack asked, I still saw that hint of worry in her eye.

"I... wouldn't." Rarity bit her lip again.

Rainbow Dash sighed, "Guess that means that's it for the anniversary." She shook her head in disbelief, "Hate to say this gang but. Happy anniversary."

"What happened to us?" Apple Jack asked.

"I don't know but, things change over time. Just looks like friendship is one of them." Rarity sighed.

"What's going to happen to Twilight?" I asked.

"Well... Every pony in there can't believe what they heard. But if charges are brought up both are in pretty deep trouble." Rarity continued.

"Oh right. It happened in the library but Twilight was the one who hit her." Apple Jack brought up. "Pretty much a no win situation."

"Not only that. The police can just follow the blood trail from the library to the Sugar cube corner." Dash pointed out.

Rarity, Jack, and I gasped as we saw the trail. It wasn't a gallon of blood just trickles every here and now.

"Well we can't clean it up. It's evidence." Dash sighed.

"Just pray this works out for the better." Apple Jack whispered, I could hear it just fine.

We walked inside after gathering courage. Pinkie was crying, but not as much anymore before she left. The pony that was holding her rocking her gently back and forth I assume was her mother. Mrs. Cake was using a cold rag to wipe the blood away while Pinkie held a bag of ice over her eye. This just made me want to cry even more. Mr. Cake waved us to the back room, I gulped and we walked into the kitchen.

"Girls. What exactly went on tonight?" Mr. Cake seemed more panicked but desperate, he wasn't that angry.

Apple Jack stepped forward, "Well... it went like this. Pinkie Pie and us girls went over to Twilight Sparkle's house and... Well Twilight was working on something. But in the end." Apple Jack took a deep breath then finally came forth, "Pinkie Pie wanted Twilight to come so she started pulling on Twilight. Twilight got mad and ended up punching Pinkie in the eye."

"Is that what really happened?" Mr. Cake asked.

We nodded, Apple Jack replied, "Yes sir."

"Yes." Dash nodded.

"Pretty much that's what happened." Rarity added.

"Alright." Mr. Cake sighed, "Just go in the other room with the others that are waiting for the party... Or go, do whatever I don't care." Mr. Cake just shook his head and left the kitchen.

It was a long night. The ambulance finally came and took Pinkie away. She wanted the party to continue but we just couldn't. Every pony there from Derpy, Cheerilee, the cutie mark crusaders, Big Mac, Granny Smith, BonBon, Lyra, Doctor Hooves, Soarin, Spitfire, the Mayor, Carrot Top. To Aquamarie's and Crystal Clear's friends that Pinkie threw an extra invitation to that were in town to help. Watt even came back from Canterlot only to be greeted with sad faces. We just couldn't do it. With the mood ruined. I was talking to Aquamarie the rest of the party. I was slouching on the couch, there was no music. I pardoned myself because it was getting late. I hated the atmosphere. We even tried exchanging gifts between the four of us but it just wasn't the same. I gave them my magnets. But because of the mood, I accepted that they were awkward about the thing. But I knew they liked the effort that was put into them. I got back an apple-shaped jug for holding liquid. Also a new hat to keep the sun out of my eyes. Some sunglasses. Thank you every pony.

The night just dragged on further. I called it quits, gathered my gifts and got my extra slices of cake. Aquamarie offered to walk me home. I said sure why not. Hated how tonight turned out anyway. She didn't understand the situation, I didn't blame her. She barely knew Twilight the way we did, Pinkie a little. I stopped by the library and left a couple of pieces of cake in front of the door along with Twilight and Spike's gift. I kept Pinkie's until she came back or wait until I visit her. Twilight was a different case. I get the feeling she's not going to want to come out for a while.

We reached my cottage and I put my presents away. It was getting really late and I didn't want Aqua walking home alone in the dark. Plenty of things out there that crawl in the night. I offered to let her stay the night. She said she didn't want to impose but I insisted. I let her sleep in my spare bed but we ended up staying up a little more. She said she texted her friend saying she was staying the night with me. We talked more, saying she was sorry again for all this. I just told her she had nothing to be sorry about, wasn't her fault that Pinkie couldn't take a hint. And it surely wasn't her fault for Twilight punching Pinkie, but why did I feel that it was mine?

I just walked to the bathroom and saw that Jelly was still swimming around in the tub. I just hung over the edge and watched her. I didn't know what she was thinking, sometimes I wished I could just float and not give a care in the world. My tears were dropping into the tub, but for some reason, I know that Jelly felt my sorrow.

Author's Note

Okay so I modified this chapter, slightly. Also not very keen still on a few things like Planet Cupcakes having all those attachments to it where it doesn't seem to be just a club anymore. More like its own little outlet. But then again ideas get scrapped for future plans and have time constraints.

And Awww... Fluttershy made a new friend. Two even.

Also, still I need to go back and look to make some more corrections. Luckily a few of these chapters don't have to be edited too much.
