Day 1

Rainbow woke up to the morning sun feeling refreshed more than ever. During her naps Rainbow would always wake up tired and groggy every morning. Though it seems now that James has shown his true feelings towards her she has been able to sleep and wake up fully rested. Rainbow left her room and headed for the kitchen to get breakfast started. She passed by James’ room and could hear the water running. Rainbow continued on because she needed to be ready for the next pony that was going to show up. James didn’t know it but it was Pinkie’s turn to watch him and he was going to need his energy if he was going to make it through the week with Pinkie.

James was in the shower getting cleaned so he could meet up with Rainbow and the next mare that was going to watch over him. James got out of his shower and went towards the dresser. James started packing all of his clothes into his bag and got dressed. From the last two weeks of being with Rainbow and Lightning he was going to miss being in a cloud home. The clouds helped keep it quiet but offered its own calming sound as the clouds moved. James left the room and headed for downstairs. Once he was at the bottom he heard a knock at the door. James set his bag on the ground and went over to the door.

James answered the door to nopony being there. James was confused because he heard a knock so there was somepony that was outside. James poked his head out and looked around to see if he could see anypony. There was none in sight so James just shrugged and went inside. Once he closed the door and turned around he hit something and fell to the ground. James grabbed the back of his head and started rubbing it to help with the pain. James opened his eyes and was staring at a pair of feet. Curious to whose they were he let his gaze travel up until he was looking Pinkie Pie in the face. James jumped back a little seeing Pinkie because he never saw her come in the house.

“Pinkie how did you get in here if you weren’t at the front door?”

“I did come through the front door silly. Once you opened it I just walked right in. I was in your face when I came in so I don’t know how you didn’t notice me.” Pinkie smiled brightly like she always did even if her explanation didn’t help at all. James was going to argue but decided against it because he didn’t need a headache this early in the morning. Rainbow came out of the kitchen and tried her hardest to keep her giggles in at seeing James on the ground and Pinkie standing over him. Pinkie turned around and waved at Rainbow before teleporting right in front of her and giving her a big hug. Also no she didn’t like take a huge jump or run very fast over there she literally teleported over there.

After seeing Pinkie teleport James got up off the ground and hit his head on the wall for what he just saw. James loved Pinkie with all his heart and her randomness was always cute to see but it was still painful to think about. James followed the two mares into the kitchen so they could eat. Breakfast would have been silent if Pinkie wasn’t talking the whole entire time while they were eating. Rainbow and James just let Pinkie talk to her heart’s content because she was just who she was. As they ate their breakfast Pinkie started pulling random objects out of her hair to put on the breakfast. All the stuff that she pulled out was so full of sugar. Looking at all these products James still wondered how Pinkie could eat so much and not gain any weight. She ate like there was no tomorrow but could still hold her hour glass figure. James knew that made some of the other mares jealous since she didn’t need to do anything to lose weight.

After breakfast was done James cleaned the dishes while Rainbow pulled Pinkie into the living room. Rainbow looked back at James to see that he is still cleaning. Rainbow then looked at he friend and was deciding if she should even tell her about how James has been doing. Pinkie always had this weird thing where you could tell her something and she would already have known about long ago. Rainbow stared into her eyes for a few moments longer before deciding to tell Pinkie.

“Okay Pinks you may already know this but just in case you don’t somehow then you need to know. James has been given the okay by me and Lightning Dust to train as hard as he wants. He only has to follow the one condition that is if the mare that is watching over him feels that he is going to get hurt or that he does hurt himself he stops. So far that hasn’t happened and it does seem to being some good for James. So we want this to keep happening so can you let him do this?”

“Of course I can Dashie. I will keep my eye always on James to make sure that he is okay.” Pinkie saluted Rainbow to show that she will keep her eyes on James and let him train freely. James came out of the kitchen and went for his bag. James pulled the strap over his shoulder and walked over to Rainbow. Once there he gave her a gentle hug and said goodbye. Pinkie gave her own hug to Rainbow and said goodbye. James turned around for the door but looked back one more time to look at Rainbow. When he did he couldn’t see Pinkie anywhere. James put his arms out in confusion to ask where she went and when he did she fell into his arms. James looked up and around before looking at Pinkie that was laying in his arms. James was going to set her down and when he tried she stayed floating in the air. James rubbed his head because now it was just getting ridiculous on what Pinkie couldn’t do. James took the hint though that Pinkie was giving and put his hands back under her. James walked out the door and left for Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow just shook her head at what James was going to have to deal with.

James was walking down the road still holding Pinkie as she had her hands wrapped around his neck and her tail wrapped around his arm. James’ arm healed as fast as his cuts did and now he was getting curious as to why that was happening. He could come up with possible explanation for his fist and his leg but his arm that was cut by glass that was another story. He saw Rainbow use regular anti-biotic cream and just some simple bandages. So there was no magic or special potion that Zecora made. Then there was this aching feeling that he kept getting in the back of his head. It was soft and tolerable when it showed but knew it was getting more painful. James was going to go to the hospital to get it checked on but decided against it because it only lasted a few seconds.

As James was walking down the road Pinkie fell asleep in his arms and James just smiled at the party pony. This mare could party like there was no tomorrow and go to bed just to wake up with even more energy. Pinkie looked cute in the way she slept because she cuddled closer to James to try and keep warm. As they neared Sugarcube Corner James opened the door and James nearly fainted at what he saw. When he entered Pinkie was standing behind the counter checking up on the treats. As James looked at her then what he was holding in his arms he dropped it. Apparently James was carrying a wooden Pinkie Pie this whole entire time. James was now confused when she switched because she was there in his arms when he left.

Pinkie lead James to the room that he would be staying in for the week. Once inside James opened the door and went inside. James was glad it wasn’t like Pinkie’s room where it was nothing but Pink all over. He didn’t mind pink that much but he didn’t want it staring in his face everytime he looked at the walls. James place his bag down and when he opened it there was nothing inside. James turned it upside down and nothing came out. James put the bag on the ground and looked over at Pinkie. Pinkie was putting away his clothes that she had in her arms somehow and smiling while doing so. They exchanged smiles and Pinkie went to the kitchen to get started on lunch. Once she was gone James walked over to the wall and just lightly banged his head against it.

James headed downstairs and joined Pinkie in the kitchen. James knew that Pinkie could cook but was surprised that she could make a healthy meal made of sweets. James was expecting nothing but cakes and cookies to be served but instead was a salad and peanut butter sandwich. James sat down at the table next to Pinkie and they ate. Pinkie was off in her own little world just talking about little things. They may never be a reason to the story but it was good to hear her talk and not be so depressed. After lunch was over Pinkie took James to the basement to show him the exercise room. When they entered the room there was nothing there. James turned to Pinkie to say that there wasn’t anything there but quickly jumped to the ground when she pulled out her party cannon and fired it. After she did there was training equipment all around the room. James looked at the cannon and then the many training equipment and just hit his head on the floor. After training was done they went back towards the kitchen and started on dinner. James worked on a little cake because he wanted something to satisfy his sweet tooth. After dinner was cooked they actually sat in silence while they ate. James looked over at Pinkie to see if she was alright and when he did he face palmed. Sitting next to him was that wooden Pinkie that he ended up carrying over here. James just continued eating and ignoring that wooden doll. James went back upstairs to shower and then go to sleep.

Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

These next few days were the weirdest and most brain hurting thing that he ever dealt with. James went through his day exercising and training as hard as he could. He saw a few times that Pinkie looked a little worried as he trained and went up and comforted her. James knew that this was making her worried but James didn’t want her to worry about him. To make Pinkie feel a little better he let up a little on his training but not going all the way back down to light weight. James was headed for a shower after his training session and when he opened the door he nearly passed out. Pinkie came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her keeping her chest covered and most of her body. James blushed a little at seeing her slender legs and body that was hugged by the towel.

James turned around to walk out before his nose would burst forth with blood but was stopped by Pinkie’s hand. She lead him to the shower and sat him down on the bench. He tried to protest but Pinkie just shushed him by placing a finger on his lips and turning on the shower. The water cascaded down on his body and James was about to get so his clothes wouldn’t get soaked but then saw that he wasn’t wearing his clothes. James looked on the bathroom sink and he saw his clothes place there and folded. James just sat back down on the bench and let the water hit his body. Pinkie went forth to washing James and his back. James thought that Pinkie was going to take the towel off so she wouldn’t get it wet but kept it on. She was being courteous towards James and how he felt so she kept herself covered. She washed his back as James cleaned his front. After James was covered in suds he washed himself off with the water. Once the soap was cleaned off James turned around to thank Pinkie but when he did she was gone. James just shrugged and dried himself off and get ready for dinner.

James helped Pinkie around the sweets store. The Cakes were gone with their foals on a little vacation in Trottingham. They could have kept the shop closed for the entire week but Pinkie didn’t want to do that. James actually agreed because he liked seeing the little colts and fillies that came in for a little treat. A few times Spike and the girls came in for a quick bite to eat. Spike was very happy to be with the three mares. James helped Spike out a couple of times when he was having a few problems with the mares. Spike was smart and intelligent with how to be a gentle drake but this was his first relationship that he had. When Spike was away James talked with Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo about how Spike was doing. The three of them were happy to be with Spike and didn’t want to lose him. They explained some of the things that they would like Spike to do and James agreed to help them. When Spike returned James took him to the side and explained what he should do. Spike agreed to be a little more open with the mares and talk with them.

James and Pinkie had fun making sweets trying to make new ones that the ponies might like. James tried his best to make some of the candies that his world had and was able to make some them. Pinkie really enjoyed some of the sweets and they enjoyed them together as they sat in one of the booths alone. As they cooked together Pinkie noticed how happy James was and was even talking. Pinkie placed the little wooden self that she kept around so she could go and think to herself. Pinkie had this made in case she needed to keep James distracted so she could plan any surprise parties for him or to get a present for him. As Pinkie was up in her room petting gummy she started thinking to herself.

Pinkie lived on a rock farm as a little filly. It was always dark there and she never once smiled and neither did her family. Then the day happened when she saw a giant rainbow go across the sky. This was the first time that she ever smiled and it felt so good for her to smile. After having that feeling she wanted to help other ponies feel the same way. She decided to have a little party for her family one day. When they came into the silo she felt nervous when her family looked around confused at what they saw. Though after a few seconds that was replaced with happiness when they smiled. After that Pinkie made it her plan to help ponies smile and never feel down. There were times where ponies would insult her and make fun of her happy attitude saying that she wasn’t normal. Pinkie took these insults to heart but never let them showed. She continued to smile and bring joy to all the ponies even at the cost of her own feelings. Pinkie was at an all time low when she was living at Ponyville and helping them all feel happy. When she met James she could feel the hurt that was inside him. It was tearing him up inside yet he kept it hidden the best he could. He always put on a fake smile so the others wouldn’t worry about him. After the incident Pinkie saw what happens when you let all those negative feelings stay deep inside of you. Pinkie decided to make a change for herself by letting out all the feelings that she held deep inside. She visited Zecora one day for a potion that would help take out her dark feelings. After the potion was taken Pinkie was looking at the dark feelings that resided deep inside her. Pinkie took it out of her body and let it all go. She let go of all the anger, hatred, and sadness that she felt. Once it was all gone Pinkie felt happier than she ever had before. Pinkie made a promise to herself that she would help James conquer his own demons. Even after everything that happened Pinkie was going to give all her love to James and help him get better. After her thoughts were in order Pinkie went downstairs to enjoy dinner with James. When she was there James didn’t notice that she was gone so she was able to slip in pretty easily and listen to the rest of what he had to say.

Day 7

James woke up in the morning and took a shower. Pinkie was downstairs preparing breakfast. Once James was done cleaning he headed downstairs to join her at the table. As they ate there was no conversation at all. James was certain that Pinkie was gone again and replaced herself with the wooden version of herself. When James looked to his right he saw that she was still there but with her head on his shoulder. James didn’t say anything but smiled that Pinkie was okay. After breakfast was done they cleaned their dishes. Once they were all cleaned and put away James took Pinkie into the living room and they sat down on the couch. They stared at each other and James went ahead with what he had to say.

“Pinkie with all the craziness that you have and do there is a chance that you may already know this. I know about the date bet that you and the others made. I love every single one of you and don’t want any of you to be hurt. I do want to start a big relationship but I don’t want it to be a herd. I would like a harem with all of you. Spitfire is lead mare and Octavia, Rarity, Fluttershy, Lightning Dust, and Rainbow Dash have all shown their interest in joining. I won’t be hurt if you don’t want to join but I want you to take it into consideration. If you do decide to join you will need to talk to Spitfire because she has the final say in everything. I love you Pinkie so I do hope you give this some serious thought.” When James was done he walked off to go train again. Pinkie watched him walk away and when he was out of sight she put a hand to her heart. Pinkie took off up the stairs to her room to grab her phone. She dialed Spitfire and talked with her for a bit. After she was done she laid down in her bed with gummy at her side. She felt so happy that James wanted her to be a part of this and she was going to go through with it.
