ZONK ZUAK ZUTZ

"Pinkie Pie! Could you please stop that?!"

"But Twilight, I need to practice. I still haven´t mastered the flugelhorn!"

ZOOOONK

"You´re not making any progress. Besides, I´ve told you several times that a library is supposed to be quiet. Go somewhere else," Twilight ordered.

"But I have nowhere else. The babies kept crying, Applejack tossed me some apples, Rarity kicked me out of her store and Rainbow chased me with a stormcloud."

"Why are you even insisting so much? I thought you were already familiar with that thing. You need to practise?"

"Well duh, of course I need to practice. What, you think I magically turn into an expert on every instrument? It takes time and a place. I have the time but I can´t find the place. Everypony keeps kicking me out, it´s like they don´t like the sound of the flugelhorn."

"Yeah, imagine that," Spike said, adding more cotton to his ears.

"Pinkie, I know you want to learn to play this instrument but I can´t have you in the library all day making that noise," Twilight said.

Pinkie sighed. "You´re right, Twilight. I won´t bother you anymore."

Pinkie walked across town, noticing how all the ponies shut doors and windows so she won´t even consider asking for permission. Pinkie sighed again.

"Pinkie, are you okay?"

"Oh hi, Fluttershy. I´m fine, it´s just...I need to practice but it seems nopony will lend me a place."

"Well, you could come to my cottage, if you want to..."

"Really? But won´t I bother you? I know you don´t like loud noises."

"It´s true but you won´t bother me at all."

"Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Pinkie hugged her pegasus friend, managing somehow to lift them both in the air and remain there a few seconds. "I promise I won't be too noisy. Oh, but what about your friends?"

"Oh, I´m sure they won´t mind a little music. They usually the noisy ones, maybe listening to you will calm them down."

****

"Stand back, all of you! NOW! I want you to go back inside and think on what you have done!" Fluttershy stared at her animal friends. Not quite using The Stare but it was intimidating enough to make them retreat. "Shame on you. Pinkie Pie, you can come down now."

"Is it safe?" Pinkie asked from the top of a tree. When Fluttershy nodded, she jumped down. "Woah, they really didn´t like the flugelhorn. Maybe I should go back home."

"You haven´t practice enough, that´s all. Why don´t you give it another hour?"

ZZRRROOONK!

"Maybe two hours..."

****

TU TU TU TUUUU

"That was wonderful, Pinkie!" Fluttershy said, and it seemed her friends agreed since they applauded as well.

"I did it! I finally mastered the flugelhorn!" Pinkie said, jumping around.

"And it only took you a week, I´m impressed."

"Oh thank you so much Fluttershy. I couldn´t have done this without you!" Pinkie said, grabbing Fluttershy's hooves.

"Me? I did nothing, I just sit here and listened to you."

"Nononono, you always supported me and listened to every one of my terrible performances and you never never let me quit. You are wonderful, Fluttershy."

Fluttershy blushed a little. "O-okay. Now I suppose you´ll play it in town and have fun. Maybe threw a I-learned-to-play-the-flugelhorn party, right?"

"Oh." This sudden realization made Pinkie let go of Fluttershy and slowly back down. "Yeah, I should get to it."

"Okay. I´ll see you later, at the party I mean. Not here..."

"Of course not here because I already finished practicing and that was the reason I came here so I have no reason to se you anymore unless I threw a party or something..."

The animals looked at both mares, wondering why they looked so uncomfortable and avoided looking at each other.

****

"No. No. NO! I knew this one. This one too. I mastered this one when I was five!"

Twilight patient was at her limit, Pinkie trashing around her library was the last straw.

"Books. Quiet. Librarian!"

Ignoring her complaints, Pinkie jumped at Twilight´s feet. "Oh Twilight Twilight, you have to help me find another instrument!"

"What for?"

"I need to find another instrument to practice so I´ll have an excuse to visit Fluttershy!"

"Why do you even need an excuse? Can´t you just go visit her?"

"It´s not a visit visit. It´s one of those fake I-made-up-a-reason-to-come-see-you visits! Like how Rainbow uses Daring Do as an excuse to see you!"

"I do not!" the pegasus replied from behind a book.

"Pinkie, you don´t need any excuses. If you really want to see Fluttershy that much just do it." Twilight said.

"But what if she doens´t ant to see me? What if she was only being nice and now I start to bother her? What if..." Twilight put a stop to Pinkie´s rambling by just touching her shoulder. Pinkie took a deep breath and nodded.

When she arrived at the cottage, she found Fluttershy setting a tea party.

"Oh hi Pinkie. You needed something else?"

"Oh no, I just...I just was passing by and wanted to say hello. Hello"

"Umh hello."

Another awkward silence fell over them. Pinkie then felt a tug on her tail, she turned over and found Angel holding her flugelhorn. Pinkie was about to ask where he took it but then noticed all the animals standing in line.

"I think they want a little concert," Fluttershy said.

Pinkie smile was so big it even made a noise.

All the way back in the library, Twilight was still fixing the mess when she heard a sound. Ignoring Rainbow and Spike bickering over why she really came visit them so often, Twilight moved and opened the window, letting the music come in.

She smiled and went back to work.
