    {{♫ ♪}} Pinkie turned at the kiss on the cheek, and beamed at her friend, giggling and wrapping her forelegs around her and returning the gesture happily.

      In a universe where everyone is born with numbers on their wrists counting down to when they’ll meet their soulmate, send me 00:00:00 for my muses reaction to their numbers hitting zero when they meet yours.   

       {{♫ ♪}} Her clock hadn't worked since she had accidentally broken her wrist as a younger girl. She'd managed to fall out of a tree, landing on her wrist and snapping it, and it had only been thanks to a young girl living on the farm that the trees belonged to, that she had gotten to a hospital before she could do something really stupid. The young girl happened to be called Applejack, and she and Pinkie soon became fast friends after that.

But Pinkie's clock had never worked since then. Pinkie didn't really make too much of a fuss about it, but she supposed it was a little disappointing that she'd never meet her soul-mate. But, time passed, and Pinkie eventually moved onto other things - spending her time planning parties and making her friends smile.

But she watched people, how happy they were to be with their soul-mates, and it made her feel a little.. lonely.

So, she decided to see if it were possible to get her clock fixed. It shouldn't be too hard, really. She'd heard of people's clocks getting broken all the time - it wasn't impossible! So, she made a trip to the local repair store - only to receive a shock.

"It isn't broken - it's counted down completely. You met your soulmate already." She was told, and she sat, in stunned silence. "When did you think it had broken?"

"When I was a littttttle girl.. It stopped working after I met..." Pinkie trailed off, and her eyes widened. "Applejack!"

She was up and running without another word, heart pounding in her chest as she ran. How did she not see it before? It seemed a little crazy - if AJ was really her soulmate.. then hadn't she known this whole time? Pinkie had never seen her clock - she didn't know.

    {{♫ ♪}} Pinkie pushed open the door, and blinked when she saw Applejack, completely soaked, and concern crossed her face almost immediately. Her friend didn't look so good..

"Uh, Pinkie… That robot is a bit crazy."
