- >It was a cold, misty morning in Equestria
- >I had woken up early due to a restless sleep
- >The same dream had been recurring night after night
- >Rolling hills over a great expanse of grass
- >A beautiful meadow of tulips, orchids and daffodils.
- >All of which surrounded a lonely tree, sat atop the largest hill in sight
- >At first I walked slowly toward the hill, then started to run.
- >I sprinted as fast as I could, but I felt as if I were standing still.
- >I would run until I could run no further, then wake up panting like a wild dog.
- >Wiping a cold sweat off my brow, I went through my morning routine and swiftly exited my house.
- >Ahh Ponyville, such a peaceful place.
- >In the day it bustled with the activity of ponies going about their business.
- >At night it slumbered like an infant, silent and blissful.
- >One felt true serenity walking the streets whilst bathed in the glow of the ethereal moonlight.
- >The cold winds whipped against my face as I strolled through the empty streets
- >I decided rather than simply sitting around before dawn I would go for a walk
- >The direction nor the destination mattered, The journey is what I cared for.
- >I spun on my heels and walked, landmarks passed left and right.
- >Town Hall, Twilight's Library, Sweet Apple Acres.
- >I soon found myself at the edge of Ponyville, overlooking the rolling meadows of green.
- >The resemblance they held from my dreams were uncanny.
- >With my lungs full of air I began walking, absent purpose or conscious thought.
- >I had forgotten the number of days I had been in Equestria a while ago.
- >Along with my naive notions of hope of finding a way home.
- >This is home now.
- >The blue mirage on the horizon gradually changed to a dark purple, then red
- >The sun was rising.
- >My legs groaned in reluctance as I forced myself over another hill
- >Then I saw it
- >The tree
- >The one from my dreams
- >With a new lease of energy my pace quickened in tandem with my heart.
- >One hill passed, then another and another.
- >After what felt like an age I found myself at the foot of the hill
- >The tree, surrounded by flowers rested on the peak.
- >After struggling up the hill, a very familiar voice flowed through the air
- >PP: "Nonny!"
- >My eyes squinted as I looked up, the tree stood between me and the sun.
- >Pinkie Pie was perched on one of the lower branches.
- "Hello Pi-OOF!"
- >Pinkie Pie had taken it upon herself to tackle me into the ground and lock me in one of her signature hugs.
- >I returned the gesture in kind.
- "Nice to see you-"
- >PP: "To see you nice! teehee!"
- >She eased her embrace and bounced back up, her mane tussling lightly in the wind.
- >She extended one of her hooves, I locked my hand around it and picked myself up.
- >PP: "So Nonny, whatcha doin?"
- >My hand rubbed the back of my neck, I honestly had no idea.
- "I don't know, I felt drawn to this place I guess."
- >PP: "But you don't draw silly!" She giggled
- >Pinkie's head tilts quizzically, accompanied by that beautiful smile.
- "That's not what I- Pinkie what are you doing here?"
- >PP: "I come here as much as I can to watch the sun rise! You get the nicest view and the warmest sensation and the loveliest feeling it's so great I can't begin to describe how nice it is to-"
- >My hands went up in surrender
- "Alright alright! So, when is it going up?"
- >PP: "Really soon! Nonny, do you wanna stay and watch it rise with me?"
- >I felt a slightly nervous tone in her voice, I still don't know why.
- "Sounds good to me."
- >I stretched weakly, still tired from the hike up to here.
- >Walking towards the tree, I turned around and set my back against it.
- >Pinkie trotted over and plopped down next to me, her head next to my right shoulder
- >I leaned back and gazed at the first sliver of gold, rising from the oceans afar.
- >It's light cut through the mist, dissipating it entirely
- >Pinkie didn't seem as enamoured as I, she seemed distracted by my presence
- "Are you okay?" I asked anxiously.
- >PP: "F-fine Nonny... Can I rest my head on you for a minute, I feel party pooped which is weird because I haven't partied since last week!"
- >I glanced over at her with a smile
- "Of course you can."
- >Her face beamed as she rested her head against my shoulder, she looked uncomfortable.
- >I promptly raised my arm and placed it over her head and on her side, letting her slink down onto my lap.
- >PP: "Th-thanks Nonny."
- >My hand gently caressed her mane as the sun rose further, now at a semi-circle.
- "Beautiful"
- >PP: "It sure is."
- "Wasn't talking about the view."
- >Pinkie snorted, that was pretty corny
- >PP: "Such a charmer Nonny."
- >We could now see the line at which light met shadow
- >The waves of sunlight quickly advanced over the pools of darkness, pushing them back.
- "Thank you Pinkie."
- >Pinkie's ears perked as her head lifted from your lap, looking up at your eyes
- >PP: "What for?"
- "For being there, for me. I don't think I would have been able to live here if it wasn't for your selflessness. The other ponies would have feared and shunned me, or worse. You gave me a chance, you let me in. For that I owe you everything I have now."
- >Pinkie just smiled as her nose lightly booped mine.
- >PP: "That's what friends do silly!"
- >She nuzzled into my chest
- >The sunlight began it's advance on the hill, illuminating the flowers scattered around it.
- >PP: "Hey Nonny... Don't forget me, please?"
- >Pinkie's eyes began to shimmer as her eyes wandered up to mine.
- "Never, Never ever ever. Pinkie promise."
- >Her eyes lit up as she beamed with a heart warming smile.
- >PP: "Thanks... Listen, I gotta go now. I'll see you around okay?"
- >The sunlight touched my feet, and as it worked its way up my body, Pinkie began to fade away
- >I looked over to my left, at the bright marble headstone, reflecting the brilliant rays of the sun.
- >"Here Lies Miss Pinkamena "Pinkie" Diane Pie. Element of Laughter and best friend a pony could ask for."
- >"Never stop smiling."
- >Standing up, I placed my left hand on the stone.
- >The cold smooth surface sapped the warmth from my fingers
- >I felt the nurturing heat of the sun on my back, now in the sky, shining with all of it's glory.
- >I smiled
- "See you around, Pinkie."
