It was a wonderful day in Ponyville and Callie couldn’t be happier at the moment. Though her happiness didn’t last long as she slowly started to get frustrated. After living in Equestria for a couple of months with her friends, she was finally able to calm down. She went back to being a girl, or at least tried to. She was wearing a t-shirt and a skirt along with some tennis shoes. She thought that she would be able to handle wearing the skirt, but she was utterly wrong on that.

She decided to wear the skirt because she thought Whooves’ family was going to stop by along with trying to become a little feminine again. She was saddened to hear that the stallion’s parents wouldn’t be visiting, but his explanation made some sense. The stallion was a time lord and his family was somewhere, but wasn’t very sure about their location. She nodded in understanding to the stallion, but she still kind of wanted to meet his family.

So now she was stuck wearing the skirt, trying to get in touch with her inner girl. It was a losing battle since after four years of having to rough it out with her friends, she grown accustomed to her other clothes. Rarity was generous to make the clothes the human used to wear, but the mare also encouraged to at least try and be like a lady sometimes. The human couldn’t argue with the unicorn because in her own way she was right.

The human was now standing in the stallion’s home as she looked at herself in the mirror. She did a few spins and watched as the skirt did its own little twirl. She stopped after her third spin and gave a little pout. The skirt was comfortable and it really helped to show her beauty, but it just wasn’t her anymore. She backed away from the mirror to get changed into a pair of pants, unaware that she was being watched.

She reached her dresser and started to move clothes around as she tried to find a nice pair of pants. Her skirt was around her ankles as she walked around half naked in her lacy black panties. The human bobbed her head to a little musical beat as she hummed to herself. She was lost in her own world that she didn’t notice the pony behind her firmly grasp her rear. Some of the mares that Callie had seen would usually react by giving a cute squeak, but the same couldn’t really be said for her.

Using years of experience, she spun on her heel and grabbed at her assailant. She easily threw the pony to the ground as she got on top of them. Her beating heart hammered in her chest, but that slowly calmed when she noticed who was below her. Whooves was trapped beneath her weight as he had a nice view up her shirt. His face held a small blush as he refused to look away from the human’s chest. Sadly, he was pulled from his ogling when she called out to him.

“How many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that?” Callie asked as she pressed him to the floor.

“I’m sorry, but it was too perfect. You looked really beautiful in your green skirt and then I saw your undergarments. Did you really expect me not to do something when you’re walking around like that,” Whooves teased as he ran his hands along her sides.

“You’re lucky that you’re cute,” Callie said as she leaned down and gave the stallion a kiss.

“I think I’m the lucky one since I get to have you,” Whooves said as he leaned up to give her another kiss.

“Is there something you needed or did you just come here to ogle my body? If you really wanted the second one though, all you had to do was ask,” Callie teased as she shook her rear a little in his direction.

“As much as I want to keep staring at your lovely body, I need your help with something,” Whooves said as he handed her a pair of pants.

“What do you need help with?” Callie asked as she slipped into her pants.

“Twilight is trying to figure out how Pinkie is able to sense when something is about to happen,” Whooves said.

“She’s trying to figure out Pinkie Sense. She’s going to give herself a killer migraine if she tried to figure that out,” Callie said while giving a slight giggle.

“So you’ve seen this ability of Pinkie’s?” Whooves asked as they left the human’s room.

“Yeah, she actually saved me from a falling pot when she gave me her warning,” Callie said as she shook her head.

“That mare really is something though, isn’t she?” Whooves said as he gave a small smile.

“She really is. She’s really fun to be around and I’m surprise Luke hasn’t lost his head while being with her,” Callie said.

“I think it’s because he learned to stop questioning most of her antics and went with the flow. He seems happy either way so does it really matter?” Whooves asked as he grabbed his bowtie.

“Not really. As long as he’s happy there’s nothing to really worry about. So do you know where Twilight is so we can help keep her brain intact?” Callie asked as they walked out the front door.

“She should be hiding behind a bush in the park spying on Pinkie with a pair of binoculars,” Whooves answered.

“Then let’s get going,” Callie said as they headed for the park.

It was going to be a bit of the walk to get to the side of the park Twilight was in, but it was nice enough that it wouldn’t be much of a bother. They walked along the path together, the human leaning against the stallion as they enjoyed each other’s company. They were walking past Fluttershy’s cottage when the noticed Andrew and the pegasus collecting frogs. The human and stallion looked at each other before seeing what was going on.

“Hey there, Andrew. What are you doing?” Callie asked.

“Hey, Callie. I’m just collecting frogs for Fluttershy,” Andrew answered as he picked up a few of the frogs.

“Clearly, but what exactly are you collecting them for?” Whooves asked.

“That’s because I’m taking these little guys to Froggy Bottom Bog,” Fluttershy answered as she load her own frogs into the wagon.

“You mean the same bog that is in the Everfree fortest?” Whooves asked with a raised brow.

“The very same,” Fluttershy answered with a small smile.

“You do know that it’s dangerous to go there, right?” Callie asked.

“She does know, but since I’m going with her it should be fine,” Andrew said.

“That makes it better at least. I don’t think I would have liked the idea of her going alone without someone there to keep her safe,” Callie said.

“I’ve done before, but I know what you’re getting at. After all of you past incidents, I think it was smart to bring my coltfriend with me,” Fluttershy said and gave the human a kiss on the cheek.

“Would you like any extra help with that?” Whooves offered.

“Thank you, but no. We’re almost finished grabbing the frogs and then we’re heading out. We shouldn’t be gone longer than a couple hours at best,” Fluttershy stated.

“If you think you’re going to be okay, then I’ll let you go. Stay safe you two,” Callie said as she waved goodbye the pegasus and human.

Whooves and Callie soon reached the park and noticed one of the bushes rustling a bit. They looked at each with a look that said they pretty much know where Twilight was hiding out. The two also noticed Pinkie who was jumping on the trampoline without a care in the world. The pink mare seemed to notice them and gestured with her hand for them to keep quiet. They couldn’t help but laugh since it seemed the party pony knew about her watcher. They gave the pink mare a quick nod before going over to check on Twilight.

They reached the bush the lavender mare was hiding behind and she could have been better. The mare was wrapped in a body cast as she looked through her binoculars at Pinkie. They noticed Spike and Alex leaning against the tree as they played their own card game. They were aware of what Twilight was doing, but they seemed to have given up trying to convince her to stop whatever she was doing.

“Hey guys,” Callie greeted as she joined them in the bush. Her greeting easily startled the lavender unicorn.

“Don’t scare me like that, Callie. I taking notes on Pinkie so I can disprove her Pinkie Sense,” Twilight said as she looked back at the jumping mare.

“You know some people would call this stalking, right?” Callie said as she looked over at her friend.

“I’m not stalking, Callie. I just looking from afar while I follow my friend around town without her knowledge,” Twilight informed.

“Stalking,” Alex added in.

“Hush you. You’re distracting me from my research,” Twilight said as she waved her hand in front of him. Seeing that the mare was distracted with watching Pinkie, the female human looked at her friend again.

“Let me guess, Twilight here was warned about falling objects, but didn’t take Pinkie’s advice,” Callie said as she gestured to the bandaged mare.

“She really doesn’t want to accept that Pinkie can predict certain situations. I’ve taken the advice and have avoided any serious harm to my body,” Alex said with a slight gloat.

“Same here. So how long has Twilight been at this?” Callie asked.

“What time is it?” Spike asked.

“It’s about noon,” Whooves said as he looked at his pocket-watch.

“About four hours,” Alex answered.

“How long do you think she’ll be at it?” Callie asked.

“Probably until it either seriously injures her or she finds the proof that she’s looking for,” Spike answered.

“I think I can help speed up this progress a bit,” Callie said, getting confused looks from the dragon and her friend.

“The sooner you can get her to stop, then the sooner I can go back to studying my magic,” Alex said.

“Twilight, Pinkie know that you’re watching her right now,” Callie said.

“There’s no way that she knows that I’m here. I have on the perfect disguise,” Twilight stated proudly as she showed her poor excuse of a disguise.

“She’s right, Twilight. I’ve been jumping on that trampoline waiting for you to come and ask me what you needed,” Pinkie said as she appeared next to the lavender mare.

The thing that happened next was the best thing Callie could have seen. The librarian was so startled by the appearance of the hyperactive mare, she jumped straight out of her cast. The lavender mare panted heavily while everyone else was busy laughing at the expense of the scared mare. It took a few seconds for the mare to get her breathing under control before looking at everyone. Alex and Spike stopped laughing when the unicorn’s gaze landed on them, but it didn’t stop the others from laughing.

“That wasn’t funny,” Twilight said as she took a seat in her wheelchair.

“It totally was, Twi. You really got some air when you tried to jump out of your skin,” Callie said in between her laughing fit.

“If you wanted something, Twi, all you had to was ask. I would be glad to help you with whatever you need,” Pinkie offered with a huge smile.

“Then help me figure out your Pinkie Sense. There has to be a logical explanation for everything that happens,” Twilight said while she breathed heavily.

“I just can’t explain it, Twi. I can’t summon these feelings whenever I want to, they come freely on their own,” just as Pinkie said that, her body had a weird spasm.

Everyone knew what those certain twitches meant and quickly moved out of the way. Everyone was under something that could hopefully keep them safe from whatever was going to try and fall on them. At first nothing happened and it seemed like there was nothing coming at them. Everyone hesitantly came out of their hiding places to see Twilight give a smirk of victory. The lavender mare was ready to rejoice in the fact that there was no such thing as ‘Pinkie Sense’, but then a frog landed on her head.

The librarian removed the amphibian before looking up to see Fluttershy flying with a wagon full of frogs. Andrew appeared next to the group as he took the frog from the librarian. He threw the frog into the air, scaring the poor pegasus who quickly caught the animal and placed him with the others. She gave a small glare at the human below her and he quickly averted his gaze and walked away from her piercing stare.

“Sorry about that, Twilight,” Fluttershy apologized.

“It’s fine, Fluttershy. What are you doing with a wagon of frogs anyway?” Twilight asked.

“I’m just taking these little guys back home is all,” Fluttershy said with a small smile.

“Well, be careful because you can hurt somepony if more of them fall or the animal themselves,” Twilight warned.

“Don’t worry, Twi. It won’t happen again,” Andrew said before following his mare towards the Everfree.

Everyone waved goodbye to the two before looking back at each other. Twilight was in the middle of packing her things when Pinkie had a sudden spasm. It was different from the one that everyone had seen before and didn’t know what to do. Pinkie didn’t seem to know what to do either as she stood there confused. It was also possible that was her usual expression as well, but they needed to know what that sense meant.

“So what’s going to land on us this time?” Spike asked.

“That wasn’t a warning about something falling, but something else entirely,” Pinkie replied.

“Like what exactly?” Whooves asked.

“I’m not sure, but the best that I can come up with is that somepony is going to be in for a huge surprise,” Pinkie replied.

“Oh come on! How could that possibly mean anything? There is nothing around us that could possibly cause us any harm and you’re here so that easily rules out a surprise party,” Twilight said with slight irritation.

“But Fluttershy is going to the Everfree. Maybe it has to do something about that,” Whooves offered.

“You’re right. She may have Andrew with her, but that forest holds many surprises. Quick, Pinkie, we need to go help them,” Twilight said.

Pinkie didn’t get a chance to say anything as Twilight dragged her away. Alex and Spike shrugged their shoulders as they planned on heading for the library. Sadly that wasn’t the case of Twilight’s magic wrapped around them and carried them towards her. They waved goodbye to Callie as she laughed at them being dragged away. Once they were gone, she turned towards Whooves and started laughing. Their laughter was interrupted when the human’s stomach gave off a loud grumble.

“Sounds like somepony is hungry,” Whooves teased.

“Be quiet you. You lost out on this tonight after that stunt you pulled this morning,” Callie said as she gave a smirk.

“You say that now, but I’m sure I can find a way to get you open up to me again,” Whooves said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Then it better be something impressive,” Callie said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

The two gave a small laugh as they headed for the closest eatery. It wasn’t a surprise that they ended up going to Sugarcube Corner to eat. They entered the building to see Luke behind the register, utterly bored out of his mind. His bored look seemed to dissipate when he saw his friends enter the establishment. He waved at the two of them and they happily waved back at him. He moved away from the counter to see what they wanted.

“So what can I get you two today?” Luke asked.

“We’ll take a simple salad,” Whooves answered.

“Have either of you seen Pinkie?” Luke asked as he went to the kitchen to make their salads.

“Yeah, she and Twi went into the Everfree forest to save Fluttershy from a possible danger,” Callie answered.

“Isn’t Andrew with her?” Luke asked as he brought them their food and sat with them at the table.

“He is, but Pinkie had one of her senses kick in and they went to check it out,” Whooves answered as he slowly bit into his salad.

“I guess Twilight went because she also wants to disprove Pinkie Sense?” Luke asked.

“Yeah, she also took Spike and Alex with them to have extra hands,” Callie answered as she ate her salad.

“Anyone want to make a bet on this?” Luke asked.

“I’m game,” Callie answered.

“I’m not doing anything better so count me in,” Whooves replied.

“I’ve got a hundred bits saying that Twilight will not give up,” Luke offered.

“I’ve got a hundred and fifty bits saying that Alex will be able to talk out of doing this anymore,” Whooves offered.

“I’ve got two hundred and fifty bits saying Twilight will burst into flames from pure anger, but will calm down as she finally accepts Pinkie Sense,” Callie offered.

Pinkamean soon came down the stairs and offered her hand. They knew exactly what she was down here for and they handed her the bits. Neither Luke or Whooves saw the wink that Pinkamena gave to Callie as she walked away. Smiling to herself internally, she finished her salad and paid her friend what they owed. The stallion and his human lover left the establishment and started walking around town.

As they walked around town they found Nightmare Moon sitting on a bench next to the center fountain. The mare seemed a little distraught as she stared at her own reflection in the crystal clear water. The two looked at each other before walking towards her. The alicorn didn’t notice them walk towards her as she ran her hand gently along the water. When the two of them reached the mare, they made their presence known.

“Hey there, Moon. Is everything okay?” Callie asked gently as she sat next to the mare.

“Not really,” Moon answered, her eyes never leaving the water.

“Want to talk about it?” Callie asked as she placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Can we talk without him around?” Moon asked as she gestured to the stallion.

“Do you mind, Whooves?” Callie asked.

“Take all the time you need,” Whooves said as he left the two alone.

“So what has you so down? It must be something serious if it has the once feared alicorn down in the dumps,” Callie said, hoping to ease the tension.

“Marcus has been stressed lately,” Moon answered as she turned to look at the human.

“When isn’t he?” Callie joked.

“I know you’re trying to ease this tension, but can we take this seriously?” Moon asked.

“Sure. So what has been bugging him?” Callie asked.

“Chrysalis has been acting weird and it has him worried. He has been trying to help along with me, but she isn’t really wanting our help. I offered a different approach and he just blew up at me. The sad part is I don’t even know why I care,” Moon said with a frown.

“Guess that shows you do care for him,” Callie stated.

“What do you mean?” Moon asked as she looked at the human questioningly.

“It could mean many things. I’m not sure what you feel towards him, but it’s something. You shouldn’t feel bad though. He knows that he shouldn’t have yelled at you and will apologize the next time he sees you. He has been in a lot of stress with everything that’s going on and he just needs time to cool down,” Callie said as she smiled at the alicorn.

“Are you sure about that?” Moon asked.

“I’m very sure about it. Also between us girls, he really does care for you. I’m not sure how far for that, but he has enjoyed your company. Have faith in him and everything will work out,” Callie assured.

“Thank you, Callie. You really are a good friend,” Moon said as she smiled.

“Glad to have helped. Take care of yourself out there,” Callie said.

The alicorn stood up from her seat and gave a slight nod to the human. Callie waved goodbye to Moon before setting out to find Whooves. She walked through town, but couldn’t find him anywhere. She was about to start asking around town if anyone has seen the stallion anywhere, but spotted him near the library. She walked towards him to see Twilight, Pinkie, Alex, Andrew, Fluttershy, and Spike with the stallion.

The group noticed the human waved to her so she can join them. She noticed that they were roughed up a bit and Alex was a little upset. Fluttershy seemed fine compared to the rest as she nursed a few of Andrew’s wounds. The pegasus knew what his healing would take care of it, but sometimes she just wanted to be helpful. Callie soon reached the group and they all greeted each other.

“So what happened to all of you?” Callie asked.

“Hydras suck,” Alex responded as he leaned against the tree.

“What does hydras have to do with this?” Callie asked.

“When we arrived at Froggy Bottom Fog, there happened to be a hydra living in the water. It didn’t like having a trespasser in its area and tried to attack Fluttershy. I ended up getting bitched slapped into a tree because of its anger,” Andrew started.

“The next thing we started to do was run away from it. The thing gave chase until we reached a chasm. We all jumped to the other side using other stone pillars, but they fell before Twilight could get across,” Spike added.

“Next thing that happens is Twilight runs towards it. She easily slides under its legs and starts to run down the hill. She ended up getting herself cornered and the hydra was ready to attack her. It lashed at her with one of its heads before she teleported behind it. She started running towards us and then jumped,” Alex said.

“Luckily there was a gas bubble that was at the bottom and when she fell on it, the bubble burst open and sent her up to us. I believed that my Pinkie Sense was wrong and as we started to walk away, I had that same spasm again. Twilight looked at me and her fur turned white while her mane and tail burst into flames,” Pinkie said excitedly.

“Twi was ready to go on one of her lectures, but she just gave up and accepted that Pinkie was able to do this. Thanks Celestia too because she seemed really scary when she got like that,” Fluttershy said as she looked at her friend worriedly.

“I may never understand it, but I guess it’s just best that I accept it. No more research on Pinkie Sense and any other research on Pinkie is no longer going to continue. Pinkie can do these things and it seems like it will help keep us safe in some way,” Twilight said as she let out a heavy sigh. Hearing this, the female human turned to the stallion with a knowing smirk.

“Looks like I win,” Callie said with a smug grin.

“I guess you do,” Whooves said with slight disappointment. The two said goodbye to their friends as they decided to get home.

Callie and Whooves walked back to the house, the stallion upset at having lost the bet. His saddened state though was relieved when the human gave him a kiss. He looked at her to see that she was giving him a seductive look. He gave a smile of his own as he kissed her deeply. The two soon reached the house and locked the door behind them so they could have their peace for the rest of the day.
