In all my years as a MLP collector I've never been the target for a RAOPK. I honestly never thought I would be either since I've always had a hard time getting completely in to the community, and I never really make any friends since I'm absolutely horrible at it - both IRL and online

.
But today a lovely member here - girlyponce - proved me wrong and completely made my day. My year infact
![Big Grin :biggrin:](https://mlparena.com/Smileys/default/lol.gif)
Because this one has been pretty rough and it was only recently when I started collecting ponies again and joining the lovely MLP community that it has gotten better - much thanks to the great people here who are so supportive and inspirational, and also the wonderful little ponies which we all love for the magic they bring to our lives
Anyway... to the RAOPK story
It was just a little while ago that I found girlyponces' sales thread where I found that she had the 25th Anniversary Scootaloo and Cheerilee for sale. I immediatly PM'd her with my fingers crossed that she still had them. She did and she also had the Sweetie Belle from that set which I had seen her mention in her post.
She did admit that the reason as to why she hadn't posted her yet was because she had some writing on her tummy and was in the process of sunfading her. The picky collector as I am said I would pass for now then, even when girlyponce said she would throw her in for free. I knew I would just feel greedy taking her up on it as she has been the one doing all the work to restore her and should get money for it in my opinion

A day or so later girlyponce PM'd me again and said that she had been looking through my wishlist and that she also had a MIB G4 Sunny Rays and Trixie Lulamoon for sale. I told her I couldn't afford them right now but thanked her for letting me know
So I paied her for Cheerilee and Scootaloo and as patiently as I could I waited for my new girls to arrive.
And so, today when my fiance picked me up from my work-rehabilitation (something that is supposed to make me feel better, but always makes me feel worse >.<) he had a little note with him that I had a big package to pick up at the postoffice. The uneasy feelings I had after my work-rehab faded and my focus was now on the pony that was awaiting me at the postoffice. We went there right away and sure enough it was ponymail. It said so on the package
But I would have to wait with opening it untill we had done the groceryshopping, eaten and cleaned up.
Then finally came the moment that I could open it. Like a child on christmas morning I tore into it - kinda curious since the package was pretty big for just two ponies O.o Once I finally got it open I just sat there and stared down at it for a good 2-3 minutes or so.
In it I saw my two new lovely little girls Cheerilee and Scootaloo:

![XD XD](https://mlparena.com/Smileys/default/XD.gif)
But nope, she had just been so amazingly wonderfull and sweet and sent them along with the two I bought from her since she had seen them on my wishlist.
I still can't believe it and have no idea how to thank her enough because this is really amazing to me =) 3 hours later and I'm still smiling about it
So, other than telling this little story of something that meant alot to me I also wanna take the time to say thanks to all the lovely people here on this forum for all the support and kindness you show. Listening to my rants in the WYP board and giving me great advices and showing that you're there. And I want to let everyone on this forum know that each one of you always brighten my days whenever I stop by the forum
And a special thanks to girlyponce for this RAOPK =) It really ment alot to me
