    Its not the best thing ever, but it works. Short, sweet and not unimaginative. Read it, enjoyed it.

    I'd like to begin by saying that this was a very good story, and I liked the subtle pop culture trio created with the names given to Pinkie's siblings. The story very neatly ties in to the world of MLP:FiM, and needless to say, it might actually work nicely as a side-story, similar to the Cutie Mark Crusaders' episodes. Though the concept of Pinkie's writing being identical to how she speaks – drifting in-between thoughts – seems fairly off to me, I have no say in how the story was written, and I acknowledge that I subsequently have no grounds for complaints.All in all, a very good explanation of what Pinkie Pie's siblings and parents did when she left the farm.

    An interesting sort of contemplative piece. Has kind of a melancholy undertone to it, but overall quite uplifting. Even if I'm still more convinced Octavia is a member of the Pie family.Also, completely unrelated note, but does anybody know if we're going to celebrate at 11 million? I get the sinking feeling we might have to start waiting for every 5 million views.

    That was nice. I know "nice" sounds like a stock word for somebody who's struggling to say something positive about a mediocre story, but I really did enjoy it. It wasn't exciting or romantic or sugary; it was just… nice. And I feel all the better for having read it.

    I'm kinda upset that this has less comments… Anyways great story! If it was a bit short, but you were working with people we've only heard about for a few seconds

    Now, I usually like my poni long and with a side of grimdark, but this was short, sweet, well written, and most importantly, it made me smile. Very well done.

    I really enjoyed this. Great extrapolation of some characters we didn't see much of. Loved Pinkie's letter to them! Thanks for sharing.

    @ToonNinjaThis is actually an older story that I wrote before Octavia made her appearance, so it kinda clashes a bit with fanon =). I just decided to release it recently.My aim was not to draw attention to the specific life paths the sisters took, but rather the fact that they chose to take them; hopefully I managed. Whether they found a passion for archaeology, classical music, dance, or photography wasn't as relevant as they idea that they'd embrace that passion.So I encourage anyone reading to take my presumptions about the Pies as nothing more than a means to parrot a common, but valuable message: always dare to dream, and never feel that you're too old to do so =).
