Dinky's Favorite Toy

by TheKing2001

Chapter I

I giggled as I pushed the train back and forth on top of the stairs. This train was given to me by my dad before he disappeared. Mom says something about a blue box he disappeared in. So this train is pretty special to me. I don’t really remember him, bits and pieces here and there.

“Choo choo!” I shoved the train forward and watched in horror as it bounced down the stairs. I quickly bounded after it. “No! Come back!” It bounced to a stop in front of the door.

“I’m home!” My sister called out as she stepped inside. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as her hoof stepped on the train, crushing it.

“No!” I shouted and she jumped back, bumping into a yellow unicorn. She lifted her hoof and stared at the destroyed wooden train.

“Oops, sorry Dinky. I really didn’t mean to.” she stepped over it and walked in the kitchen. Now that made me madder. I wanted more than sorry. I jumped down the stairs, two at a time and bumped into a blue unicorns flank.

“Careful there Dinks!” Minuette giggled and helped me stand up. “You’re gonna run so fast one of these days, you’ll leave your body behind!” I always liked Minuette, she always played trains with me.

“Where is Amethyst?” I demanded and Minuette’s smile turned to a concerned frown.

“In the kitchen. Why?” I ignored the question and stomped into the kitchen, shoving my hoof against her chest.

“You destroyed my train!” I shouted. She flinched and stared at me.

“I said sorry.”

“Sorry doesn’t cut it. That train was given to me by daddy. It’s the last thing of him I had and you destroyed it!” I was really angry, which I know isn’t like me. Most people think of me as cute and lovable twenty four seven but I have other emotions just like everypony else.

“Look. I know you miss your dad and I’m sorry I destroyed it but you should have been more careful!”

“You talk a lot about parents considering you were given up at birth!” I shouted and a part of me regretted that. Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine exchanged nervous glances and Minuette’s head peaked inside.

“Dinky! That was not nice of you!” Minuette looked disapprovingly at me and my ears flattened against my head.

“At least I can still see my dad!” Amethyst finally snapped, giving me an angry look.

“Amethyst!” Lemon scolded. “She’s just a filly, you’re a teenager.”

“She started it!” Amethyst thrust a hoof at my way.

“Yeah Amy,” I smirked. “I’m just a filly.” She hated being called Amy.

“Don’t call me Amy!”

“That is enough!” Derpy stomped a hoof on the ground and we all shrunk back nervously, even my sisters friends. Derpy stood glaring at us with her wings spread. “You two will be nice to each other. You two said some very hurtful things and that does not fly in this house!”

“She destroyed my train,” I whispered and wiped a tear away. I glared at Amethyst. “I hate you!” Everypony stared at me in shock, including Amethyst. Even mom’s angry expression faltered.

“Dinky,” Amethyst mumbled with her ears pressed against her head. I ignored her and focused on Minuette, pointing a tiny shaking hoof at her.

“I adopt you as my new older sister! You at least play with me when you come to visit unlike my ex sister.” Minuette pressed a hoof against her chest.

“Me?” She asked. “I’m honored but I can’t just take Amethyst’s spot. You can’t disown siblings.”

“I just did,” I pronounced. “I’m coming home with you tonight. Until I’m an adult.”

“That’s pony napping. I can’t.” I levitated a piece of paper and a crayon, setting it on the counter and started to scribble on it.

“How do you spell accompany?” I asked Minuette.

“A C C O M P A N Y.”

“Thanks new sis,” I finished writing and shakily levitated it to her. “Terms of agreement,” I explained at her confused face.

“As new sister of Dinky, I promise to take you to fun places, be fun to be around, have campouts, keep playing with you, be nice, read books to you at bed time and accompany you to and from school, and the movies. Must have Dinky in the house for more than ninety days before I can return to original family,” Minuette read out loud. “I can’t do this unfortunately.”

“Maybe it’s better if she does. Give them some space to calm down, let her stay the night for a few days,” Derpy sighed.

“What?” Minuette and Amethyst asked in shock.

“They need space. You can take Dinky for a few days, but not the full ninety,” Mom frowned at me. “Is that okay, Minuette?”

“I guess,” Minuette shot Amethyst an apologetic look that I missed.

“Alright,” Mom nodded. “Go pack for a few days please Dinky. And I expect to hear you behaved perfectly for Minuette.”

“I’ll be on my best behavior for my NEW sister!” I grinned as I bounced away to the stairs.

“Dinky...” Amethyst reached out for me with a hoof and I ignored it, missing her regretful and hurt expression.

“I can’t believe she’s replacing me,” Amethyst mumbled.

“I’m not,” Minuette promised. “She’ll spend a few nights, realize she misses being with you and Miss Hooves and beg to come back. Just you wait.”

“She’s right,” Twinkleshine shook off her shock. “Dinky adores you. You two just had a fight, it’s what sisters do. Right Lemon?”

“Uh sure?” Lemon shrugged. “I don’t have any siblings so I can’t confirm or deny it.”

“Thanks for the back up.”

“You’re welcome.”

“I’m ready!” I bounced down the stairs and attached myself tightly to Minuette’s leg. “Ready to go sis?”

“I guess,” Minuette said hesitantly.

“Bye mom! Bye Lemon! Bye Twinkleshine!” I again ignored Amethyst and trotted out the door and Minuette shut it behind us. The last thing I saw was Lemon hugging Amethyst.

“What are we gonna do now?” I asked excitedly. “Movie night? Video games? Ooh late night ice cream! I brought my piggie bank!” I shakily levitated my piggie bank in front of Minuette and gave it a few shakes. Three or four bits fell out. “I can help pay for ice cream.” Minuette gave a chuckle at that.

“Maybe tomorrow. Tonight is a school night,” she chided with a grin. “Be good on the walk to my house and I’ll let you have a small amount of ice cream.”

“Yay!”
