A crisp Winter morning in Ponyville. The world was white. The pond was ice. And somewhere there was a Princess signing about just ignoring all the stress the rest of the world throws at her because of her special powers. Ok, so that last part was Frozen...or Princess Cadence had a little too much to drink...Speaking of Pink Ponies, down at Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie was busy at work frosting some Cupcakes. The Cakes were taking care of the twins and that left Pinkie with most of the decorating. It seemed like the Parents didn't have a lot of time with their children because of what they did. So taking over for a day, even if it was one fo the lightest days there, was giving four ponies a smile. While giving so many ponies a reason to smile, always made her happy. This slow day of quiet and snow gave Pinkie time to reflect, not like a Crystal Pony does. Wouldn't that be awesome to literally see yourself in yourself? Things have gotten a bit stale around here. Ponies were coupled up or paired in some manner. Even though she was part of a group Formally known as the Elements of Harmony and informally in some circles as the Mane 6, she had a bit of trouble connecting with other ponies past surface happiness. She could make them laugh, bring out the biggest smiles and make worries go away. And sure she smiled alot with her friends, which included everypony in Ponyville. But even she sometimes felt that that happiness was surface level. Everypony sort of expected Pinkie to be Bubbly and Hyperactive 24/7. Weirdness was seen as a normal for her. "That's Pinkie for you." Was almost a catchphrase of others about her. Looking down at the piping she had on the cupcakes, she saw that they were moving in a heart shape. Wait? Could that be what this feeling was all about? Oh colt, did she need a day off. Tomorrow was the one day out of the week the shoppe was closed. She'll just have to ask the Cakes for a couple days off and let her roomie know she was going to be gone. Maybe she'll make a trip to the Crystal Empire and seek Princess Cadence's wisdom in the matter. The Next day, with all the packing and craziness of finding a sitter for Gummy and a ride to the Crystal Empire, she somehow found her way to Cloudsdale. Oh colt did she go the wrong way. At least the balloon pilot was nice enough to grab a pair of cloudwalkers for her. Now she had all her bags and five days before her next flight. Sure she could just remove her slippers and get back to the ground real quick, but oh would that hurt. For now, she was wandering the "Streets" of Cloudsdale as best as an Earth Pony could, some places were too far for her hop skip and a jump, so it took her alot longer to get anywhere. |
