Chapters Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory
It was a bright summer's day in Ponyville, the bees were buzzing, the flowers were blooming and Derpy was delivering pianos, which can't end well... but I'm starting to get off topic... *clears throat* Today was a big day for the Mane 6, because they were about to enter an entire new place where logic and reason are thrown out the window, a place that nopony has gone before... Pinkie Pie's chocolate factory...
You must be thinking, "Pinkie Pie owning a chocolate factory? A lot must go on in there..." ...well, that, or she would probably eat everything in the factory. Also, how did she get it? That'll be explained later. She invited her 5 friends to have a gander at what goes on in the factory and what she does in there... And their lives were about to change, in more ways than one...
They stood outside waiting for Pinkie to show up from inside the factory and Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy all reacted differently while at the gates. Twilight was reading a book called The Ins and Outs of Chocolate Making, as she read she looked more and more intrigued about how chocolate was made. Applejack simply walked around in circles, trying to stave off an uncontrollable hunger, which was caused by missing her breakfast. Rainbow was flying around impatiently, moody, because she had planned a day of sleeping, flying and more sleeping. Rarity simply stood around wearing a white dress, continueously dabbing blusher onto her cheeks, to be honest I don't know what else to say. Fluttershy too stood around, waiting, exited by what could happen inside the factory.
Twilight flicked though the pages and said, "This book has taught me a lot about the workings of the machinery used in chocolate making. With all the bean roasting and that kinda stuff..." Rainbow moaned and flew around some more.
"Well, ah just hope she let's us eat somethin'. Ah'm as hungry as a wild buffalo!" Applejack said.
The gates slowly began to open and a pink bouncy pony began to bounce out the factory. She was wearing a hat on her head and her upper torso area looked more purple than pink. "Mary, mother of Celestia. What is she wearing!?" Rarity thought out loud.
When she reached them they saw that she was wearing a light purple buttoned shirt, a navy blue bow tie and a dark purple top hat. "Heya guys!! Welcome to my chocolate factory!" she giddily yells as she reaches them.
"Whatcha think of my factory owners attire?" she asked. Rarity, being the fashion critic that she was, was first to reply, "Well, the shirt's okay... but the bow tie is just... blah... It has to go..."
Pinkie simply replied, "I thought it was cool... but anyway... I've got tons to show you all! So let's get going!!" They were all soon treated to a long corridor as they entered the factory.
"This better not take long! I've got a planned day ahead of me!" Rainbow moaned.
"Dash... All you were gonna do was sleep and fly for a bit... And Pinkie just wants to show us around her factory..." Fluttershy willfully said. "The least you could do was show an interest." She tried her best to do so, but ended up looking like a weirdo.
As they all came to a door, Pinkie turned around and explained, "Behind this door is the nerve center of the entire chocolate factory! The chocolate room!!" Everypony looked on, smiling, as she went on about the room. Except for Applejack, who was too focused on her hunger to hear her until Pinkie spoke the phrase, "...everything in this room is eatable!" After hearing that, Applejack got excited.
When she opened to door, Pinkie let out a triumphant, "Ta-da!!" as the room was revealed to be a colourful wonderland with plant-life and a chocolate river near the centre. The others stood there with their mouths open wide, even Rainbow Dash's wings erected from seeing that room. Pinkie lead them to the centre and said, "As I've already said... Everything in this room is eatable!"
"...edible..." Twilight corrected.
"It doesn't matter... Just go and enjoy yourselves!!" she gestured for them to go and run around the room and they do.
Applejack dove right in to the fattening, sugary sweets. Eating as much as she possibly could, she even swiped a candy apple from Fluttershy when she wasn't looking. After a few minutes, she gave herself quite a bit of pudge... Almost enough to block an entire pipe. The others were more intented on savoring the fruity, sweet treats rather than stuffing their faces silly.
Rarity then walked around, eating a bit of licorice, when she noticed someone odd... Three filly like ponies trotting around the room. "Who are those fillies over there?" she asked as the others gathered around to see them.
"Oh... Those guys? I like to call them Oompa Lompas..." Pinkie explained.
Rainbow noticed something else, "Yeah... But they kinda look familiar..." Rarity then realizes who one of them are...
"ONE OF THEM'S MY SISTER!!!" she yells.
"Oh yeah! And there's Applebloom!" Twilight pointed out.
"...and Scootaloo." Fluttershy continued.
"Yeah... About that... They wanted to work for me to try and get their Cutie Marks" Pinkie explained.
They were wearing a baggy outfit that looked at least 2 sizes too big. Which, of course, did not please Rarity. "I AM NOT HAVING MY SISTER WEARING A RIDICULOUS OUTFIT THAT IS FAR TOO BIG FOR HER!!!!!!!!" she argued with Pinkie. Sweetie Belle over heard the argument and waved to her older sister.
While that argument was going on, Applejack thought of drinking a tiny bit of the lake... hoping nopony would catch her red-hooved. But she didn't count on her younger sister and she started talking to her, "Applejack!!? What are ya doing!!? Pinkie'll kill ya if she catches you!!!"
Pinkie Pie over heard that and said, while turning around, "I'll kill who for wha...?" As soon as she saw her she yelled at the top of her lungs...
This in turn startled the drinking pony and she fell into the river! Applebloom saw her fall in and she screamed, "Sis!!! Somepony help her!!!! She can't swim!!!!" The others heard and ran to where Applejack fell in to see her covered in chocolate, bobbing up and down in the chocolate!
"How can she get out!!?" Twilight yelled. Within moments, the bobbing stopped and Applejack sunk under the brown liquid.
"Ah can't just stand her and let mah sis drown like this!! Ah gotta help her!!" Applebloom screamed as she ran to the edge and jumped. She was caught by Fluttershy before she could hit the chocolate.
"Let me go!! LET ME GO!!!!!" Applebloom yelled as she tried to squirm out of Fluttershy's hooves.
"No Applebloom... Your sister wouldn't want you in the same predicament she's in right now..." she said, cradling Applebloom as she did... Tears began to stream down Applebloom's face.
"Besides... She's not in the chocolate..." Rainbow added as she pointed at a pipe. They looked at it to see Applejack all covered in chocolate, stuck in the pipe!
"HELP!!!! HELP!!!! SOMEPONY GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!!" she yelled. The chocolate was gluing her mouth together every time she closed her mouth. Pinkie yelled, "You'll get yourself out! The chocolate should push you into another room!"
Applebloom looked at Fluttershy and said, "Ah don't get it..."
Fluttershy replied, "Just watch..."
Applejack wiggled around in the pipe until she shoot through the pipe and out of the room, yelling, "Ah'll get ya for this Pinkie!!!"
Fluttershy flew Applebloom to solid land before picking up her sister's hat that was floating on the chocolate. "Wh... Whe... Where's mah sister gone?"
Pinkie looked at her and said, "She's heading to the room where the scrumptious fudge is made! But I imagine that it won't be so scrumptious now..." The others looked at each other... sad and upset.
"She'll be made into fudge by tomorrow morning..." Twilight said defeatedly.
Fluttershy didn't want to hear any of that and changed her emotion and expression drastically, "Why say that!? We may have a chance of saving her! If we think!"
A smile came to Pinkie's face, "There's a mixing barrel in the fudge room!" she said.
"That's perfect! Applebloom, head to the fudge room as fast as you can, turn off the machine and she should float to the top... But whatever you do... don't slow down!" Fluttersby ordered.
Applebloom wiped the tears off her face, put on her sister's hat and ran out yelling, "HOLD ON BIG SIS!!!! AH'MA COMIN'!!!!!!!"
Pinkie then asked the others, "How about a song to lighten the mood!?"
She whistles and the other 2 from the CMC show up. "You called?" Sweetie Belle asked. Pinkie simply nodded and they started to sing:
Note that sugar is rare,
Why don't anypony,
Applejack, Applejack,
Sugar is so neutral,
Pinkie claps furiously and started yelling, "Bravo!! Bravo!! Encore!!! Encore!!! What did you think guys!?" And just as Twilight was about to answer, Pinkie interrupted, "Anyway...!" she began to walk off... "...shall we move on?"
They began walking and Fluttershy asked Rainbow, "Will Applejack be okay?"
Rainbow smiled and said, "Of course she'll be fine... Don't worry about it!" but as Fluttershy walks on... That smile soon fades...
Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory
After Applejack's unfortunate exit in the chocolate room the others headed to a large boat. "What's the boat for?" Twilight asked Pinkie.
She replied, "It's our mode of transport to get to the next room!" Everypony got onto the boat and sat on purple cushions as the boat slowly began to move. They looked around the room, taking in the sights of it.
Fluttershy kept looking at the pipe then at the floor of the boat. Rainbow then hugged her with one of her wings to try and cheer her up. "Don't worry, Applejack'll be fine. I already told you, she'll be fine." she said reassuringly. As the boat slowly heads to a tunnel, the others look at each other in slight fear. When they got into the tunnel weird noise randomly start, causing the others to jump in fear.
The tunnel noises make the others scream and be extremely scared, except for Pinkie, who was smiling creepily, and Fluttershy, who kept uttering "It'll be over soon" repetitively.
"I feel nauseous!!" yelled Rainbow.
"I can't take this any longer!! I may have a heart attack!!" Rarity yelled.
"PINKIE!!! WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, WE GOTTA GET OFF!!!!" declared Twilight.
"I absolutely agree with you Twilight!" said Pinkie as she stomped on the ground with one of her hind hooves, causing the boat to come to an unexpected stop.
They stopped in front of a massive door that is labeled as "Inventing Room". Pinkie stood in front of the others as they got off the boat and explained, "In here are some top secret candies and stuff like that. Some, the last owner made. Most, I made! But whatever you do... no tasting, no touching, no telling."
"No telling what?" Rarity asked.
Pinkie simply replied, "You'll see... most of the candies are in testing, which means who knows what they could do... You may even turn into a fruit!!" She quickly regained her bubblyness and opened the door.
They walked inside to see machines and gizmos that none of them had seen before. As well as new sights, there were new smells, new tastes and new ideas! "This is more MY kind of room!" Twilight said. "Once I understand how everything works, I might be able to make machines like these."
Pinkie butted in, "Oh, nononononononNO!!! I'm sorry Twi, but this stuff is WAY more complex than you make it out to be!" Fluttershy walked up to a machine spitting out small balls of different colours into a vat of purple liquid.
"Um... Pinkie? What's this?" she said nervously.
She trotted over to her and said, "Oh, this? This is the Everlasting Gobstopper machine! The candy is shot into this... stuff... and it makes it able to never ever get smaller in the mouth!"
"That sounds ridiculous!" Rainbow said with a tone of disbelief.
Rarity pointed at another machine and asked what it was. As they all walked over to it, Pinkie explained, "This doohicky is the Mane Toffee machine! As soon as you eat it, within half an hour, your mane will grow so you can cut it into whatever you want...!"
Rarity sounded intrigued. "That's a pretty good idea!" she said before Pinkie continued...
"...but it makes the tail grow too and there isn't a known stopping point, so it may not stop at all..."
Rarity's smile dropped. "Nevermind."
"Here's a little something you might enjoy!" Pinkie said as she guided them to another large machine that had cauldrons in it. "This is something I cooked up myself!" she said as she activated it. The cauldrons began to fill with a red liquid that suddenly turned brown, then yellow, then blue, then back to red, then green, then pink, then a darker blue. "What you're all seeing is an invention that will change the way everypony lives! The creation of something small, that can turn into something huge!!" Pinkie introduced as the blue liquid began to drain eventually giving off from the slot of the machine...
...a small piece of gum.
Rarity was confused, "I thought you said this will '...change the way everypony lives'?"
Pinkie just replied, "Rarity! It will change how everypony lives!"
Twilight too was confused, "But it's a small piece of gum. How can that change anyponies lives!?"
Pinkie walked up to her and said, "This isn't just your average, everyday chewing gum... It's a flavour filled stick of joy!!"
The others simply looked at each other and
Pinkie bounced away from Twilight and said, "This gum is a whole three course dinner! With no washing, no mess and no problems!"
"This sounds like something I might like!" said Rainbow as she flew up and grabbed the gum from the slot it was in.
"Oh... uh... Dashie... Pinkie said not to eat anyth..." Fluttershy said before she was interrupted by Rainbow.
"Hey, sometimes rules are meant to be broken! And besides... It's a stick of gum, what could it possibly to to me!?" she said before she popped the gum in her mouth and started chewing.
Pinkie popped a smile and whispered to herself, "You'll find that out soon..."
After a few minutes of chewing, Rainbow's eyes began to widen as the flavour hit her tongue, "By Celestia! This gum is incredible!" she said.
"What flavour is it?" Twilight asked.
"It tastes like tomato soup! Hot and creamy too! And homemade as well! It's running down my throat and going to my stomach!" she yelled in amazement.
"Okay Dashie... That's enough now and..." Pinkie began to say until she was interrupted,
"It's changing!!"
"...Okay, nevermind." Pinkie finished.
"It tastes like potato! Baked potato, with butter and sour cream and chives too!!! Wow! To think, I'm the first pony in Equestria to have a chewing gum meal!!" Rainbow continued.
"Okay, great Dashie! Now can you spit it out before...?" Pinkie began to say until Rainbow interrupted again,
"Blueberry pie and ice-cream!! It's so good!! It's like I'm taking bites of the best blueberry pie in Equestria!!!"
Pinkie simply reacted, "...too late now."
As Rainbow chewed the gum the others began to step back. "Is something wrong guys?" Rainbow asked as she chewed.
"Y-Y-You're nose..." Twilight nervously said.
"Yeah, what about it?" she replied.
"It's turning purple..." Rarity replied, and she was right, for her nose had turned a dark purple hue and it was spreading throughout her face.
"Rainbow, you're turning a colour OF the rainbow!" Pinkie said to her. She looked at her hoof to see the purple spreading to them, even her iconic rainbow mane and tail was turning different shades of purple!
"What's going on!? What's happening!? WHY AM I TURNING PURPLE!!!?" Rainbow yelled at Pinkie.
"Well, I warned you not to eat anything! That gum wasn't ready yet. The dessert still has a massive bug in it!! I'm sorry Dashie!" she told her before running off to hide behind a machine.
The others kept stepping backwards as the purple was all over her body. She softly pleaded to the others, "...help me...". Soon a gurgling sound came from her stomach, and it started to expand. Her body was expanding just slower than a balloon caught in a gas tank. Even her flank started to blow up, causing Rainbow to blush a reddish purple colour.
"W-Wh-WWWW-Why is she swelling up?" Rarity asked. Rainbow looked at them with purple eyes that were once magenta.
"I don't know, but something tells me that she won't be stopped anytime soon..." Twilight replied, still stepping back. Rainbow's breathing became more and more erratic the more she expanded. She soon felt a liquid come straight to her mouth, forcing her to close her mouth and her cheeks to puff out. Her hooves began to lift off the ground, causing her fear to grow, as well as her body. After a few minutes the only things left of the Rainbow Dash the others knew was a head, her hooves, her wings and her tail and Cutie Mark, which had too was a mix of purple hues.
"I tested it on 2 or 3 other ponies and each one ended up as a blueberry." said Pinkie as she came out from behind the machine.
"She's a blueberry? No... N-N-No... That's not possible!" said Twilight in a panicked tone.
"But... I can't have a blueberry for a friend... How will she fly?" Fluttershy said with a nervous tone.
"I'm afraid her flying days are over..." Pinkie replied.
"...Mmmm!!!? M mmm'm mmm mmmmmmm!!!?" (What!!!? I can't fly anymore!!!?) Rainbow murmured.
"Not unless somepony rolled her to the juicing room 2 rooms down..." Pinkie answered. Then, an idea came to both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy! "Scootaloo!!!" they both said.
After calling her and Sweetie Belle over, Scootaloo saw the blueberry Dashie.
"Whoa!! What is that!?" she asked.
"That's Rainbow Dash, she chewed some gum and turned into a blueberry." Fluttershy told her. "You have to roll her onto the boat outside and take her to the juicing room."
Rainbow heard Scoots in the room and murmured, "Mmmmm!!! Mmmm mm mmmmm!!!!"
"What did she say?" Scoots said.
Pinkie said, "I think she said, 'Scoots, help me please'. Or something like that..."
Fluttershy rested Scootaloo's chin on her hoof and made her look at her, "Listen, Rainbow is extremely full and may even burst if you don't get her there in time!" she told her.
"I can't let my hero icon burst!!!" Scoots said panicked.
Fluttershy smiled and put her hoof to the floor, "So go and juice the blueberry and save her!!!"
Scoots smiled and said, "YES MA'AM!!! before taking off and rolling Rainbow away.
Fluttershy looked at Pinkie and said, "Another song I presume?"
Pinkie too smiled and said, "Oh, you know me so well! Sweetie Belle... do the honours, if you'll be so kind!?"
She ran to a high bar and started singing:
The taste is so pure and fine,
Being so brash and selfish,
So here is the Berry, see,
"Ahh! Another song pulled of perfectly!" Pinkie said. Meanwhile, Scootaloo was having trouble getting the blueberry though the door, "A little help?" she said. Fluttershy flew over and pushed gently, dislodging Rainbow from the door. "Mmmmm Mmmmmmmmmm!!" Rainbow murmured. "You're welcome!" she replied. As they leave the room Fluttershy goes back to the others and Pinkie says, "A blueberry Rainbow and a chocolate coated Applejack, sounds yummy, and spicy! Anyway, let's go!" They then leave the room from a different door.
Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory
"Without the boat, we have to move twice as fast to catch up, there's far to much to see!" Pinkie said as she lead her three remaining friends across a long corridor.
"Um, Pinkie? Will Dashie always be a blueberry?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes!! No!! Maybe!! It's likely!! Not in a million years!! Who knows!? But she deserves it for being so cocky all the time..." Pinkie replied.
"Any news on Applejack?" Twilight asked.
"None so far... but hey, maybe we'll get lucky!" Pinkie responded.
Meanwhile, in the fudge room, Applebloom sat by the top of the mixing barrel. She was stirring the chocolate in the vat, looking for her sister. "Come on big sis! Ya have ta be in here somewhere!" She kept feelings around until she had hit something that moved as soon as she hit it. It wasn't floating so Applebloom decided to dive in and fish it out herself. When she grabbed it she immediately submerged, and put it on the platform she was standing on and felt it... It was soft and it had hooves, It was Applejack!
She then promptly started to perform CPR on Applejack, trying to restore her breathing. After about a minute of doing so her eyes started to open. "Boy! Ah sure ain't gonna skip breakfast again!" she said as she got up.
"Applejack!! You're okay!!" Applebloom said hugging her. "Ah thought ah lost ya..." she said with an emotional tone.
"At least ah'm okay..." Applejack said as she began walking with the chocolate covered Applebloom. "Oh, and ya breath tastes like apple pie!" she joked.
Back with the others, they continued walking and wondering what could be next. "But, anyway, how about we move on?" Pinkie suggested. The others nodded as they came up to a door labeled 'Nut Room'.
"Nut room? Oh, yes, for the stuff with nuts in it..." Twilight realized.
"Correct-a-mundo mon ami! This is where all the nuts are harvested and separated!" Pinkie explained.
Rarity then shouted, "I SWEAR, IF MY SISTER HAS TO SORT NUTS...!!!!"
"Don't worry Rares!" Pinkie said. "I've got someone else!"
She opened the door to show a light blue room with squirrels sorting out the nuts. As soon as Fluttershy saw them she got exited... "SQUIRRELS!!!!!" ...she yelled in a happy tone.
"Yes-sirrie-bob! They have all been trained to get the nuts out of shells!" Pinkie replied. The squirrels work, not knowing that the others are there.
"But why use squirrels?" Twilight asks.
"Because only squirrels can get the nuts out every single time!" Fluttershy answered instead of Pinkie. "You see how they tap the nut to see if it's good or not?" Fluttershy points out. "If the nut is good they send it off to be use for stuff, if it's bad, they throw it into the shute in the middle of the room." she continued.
"Is it best I let you explain this room Fluttershy?" Pinkie asks.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." she replies.
Pinkie smiles and asks Fluttershy, "Would you like to pet one?"
"I wouldn't be me if I said no!" she replies. Pinkie opens the gate and let's Fluttershy into the room's main chamber.
She walks over to one, it turns around and she starts petting it. "Aww! Aren't you the cutest wittle thing I've ever seen!?" she says as she pets the squirrel.
While the petting was going on, Rarity asked Pinkie, "Can they sort anything else? Apart from nuts?"
Pinkie simply replied, "I guess... I'm not entirely sure..." The squirrel with Fluttershy tapped her head to see is she was a good nut and then it just continued working.
She then came back to the others to overhear the convention Pinkie and Rarity were having. "Please Pinkie, It'll really help out at the boutique." Rarity pleaded.
Pinkie replied, "I know but the last owner will be furious if he finds out that I gave one of the squirrels away!"
Rarity then said, "I'll pay you for one?" Pinkie said no, and Rarity started getting temperamental. "Well the others want one! Don't ya Fluttershy!?" Fluttershy looked at Pinkie then at Rarity.
"I do, but I don't want to break the rules. We have to respect Pinkie and the factory." she said.
Rarity had a small strop and told Pinkie, "Well if you won't let me have one, I'll get one myself!" She then opened the gate, slammed it shut when she got to the other side and starting walking to the same squirrel that Fluttershy petted. Twilight and Fluttershy both looked on as Rarity walked.
"Rares! Don't even think of touching that squirrels nuts!!" Pinkie said. "It'll make him aggressive!!" Rarity, however, didn't care.
She came up to it and it looked at her. "You'll do" she said as she began reaching for it, but when she grabbed it got free and grabbed her dress and Rarity panicked trying to get it off. "Get off me!! That dress cost a thousand Bits to make it!!!" she cried. The other squirrels began to run up to her and began trying to pin her to the floor.
"Oh, no!" Fluttershy said. "I tried to warn her! The squirrels don't like to be interrupted!!" Pinkie yelled.
"But how come Fluttershy go up there and cause no troub... Oh... right... good with animals." Twilight said until she realized.
The squirrels pinned Rarity down and one came up to her head and started tapping it. "What are they doing to her!?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, they're testing to see is she's a good nut or not..." Pinkie said as the squirrel looked at her and shook it's head. "Oh... That can't be good..." she then said.
The squirrels then began dragging Rarity by her dress to the chute, "STOP!!!! YOU'LL RIP THE DRESS!!!" she said as they dragged her.
"Where are they taking her!?" Twilight yelled. "To where all the bad nuts go... down the shute!" Pinkie replied.
"And where does the shute go?" Fluttershy asked.
"...To the incinerator..." Pinkie said with a troubled look on her face.
The squirrels kept dragging her until she eventually fell into the shute. "PPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIINNNNNNKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" she screamed as she decented, the scream echoing as she fell.
"So... what'll happen to her?" Twilight asked.
Pinkie looked at her and replied, "Not too sure, but we should let Sweetie Belle know..."
She was called into the room where she said jokingly, "What's happened THIS time? Twilight shrunk in the wash?"
Fluttershy replied, "No... your sister fell into the shute and she could be a part of the melting garbage." Sweetie Belle's smile soon faded. "My sister could be sizzled like a sausage!?" she yelled.
All three of the others yelled, "YES!!!!!" As soon as she heard that Sweetie Belle did one of Rarity's trademark faints.
"Well, that was unexpected..." Pinkie said.
"It must run in the family..." Fluttershy said.
A few seconds later Sweetie regained her consciousness and said, "Song time?" "Song time..." they all replied. Sweetie Belle then ran inside the main chamber and started singing:
" Rarity, the heart of gold,
All the gold, silver, and bronze,
There are times when you’re amazed,
Spoiled on gems and pampered, too,
Hope you’ve learn something today,
After that, Pinkie gets a note in a small plastic ball roll towards her after it exits a small tube. She picks it up and reads it... "The incinerator is currently out of order and can not burn anything until next Monday!!? Oh that's fantastic news!!"
"For us: yes, for Rarity: maybe not as good" Twilight said.
"Looks like it's just you and me Twilight..." Fluttershy said.
"Yeah, I hope the others are okay..." she replied. Pinkie simply smiled and adjusted her bow tie, "Let's move on!" she said, leaving the room...
Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory
As Pinkie pressed a button, doors opened to show a glass elevator inside. " Why I never thought of this earlier? I will never know! But this is the best way to get around the factory!!" she said.
Twilight looked at the many buttons and said, "Why do you need so many buttons in an elevator!? You can't have this many floors in here!!?"
Pinkie looked at her in a challenging tone and said, "How would you know if you haven't seen one with as many floors?" Her quirkiness soon returned. "Plus... this elevator doesn't just go up and down. It goes sideways, longways, the ways of life and any other ways you can think of!"
"So... press a button and you'll head to it?" Fluttershy asked.
"Exactly! Who would like the honors of choosing our next room!?" Pinkie asked. Twilight immediately put her hoof up and looked at the wide variety of buttons.
"Mint room: nah... too cooling. Marshmallow room: Rarity would be right at home there! Fruit room? Not for me..." she told herself.
"Speaking of fruit... How is Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked.
"Don't know..." Pinkie replied.
Meanwhile, in the juicing room, Scootaloo kept rolling Blueberry Dash. "Don't worry Dash! Soon you'll be back into flying shape and not a fruit!" she said.
Rainbow murmured, "Mmmmmmm! M mmm'm mmmm mm mmmmmm mm mmmmmmmm!!" (Finally! I can't feel my hooves or anything!!) Scoots rolled the blueberry into the XXXXL juicer and turned on the machine. After a few moments the juicer door opened and Rainbow waddled out with her cheeks still puffed up.
"Dash!!" Scoots said as she hugged Rainbow. As soon as Scootaloo hugged her, she mouth spewed blueberry juice and her cheeks became no longer puffy.
Scoots felt the juice gush out, making her flank area wet from blueberry juice. "Thanks... I really needed that..." Scoots said awkwardly.
"And I really needed that juice out of my system!" Rainbow said. "Thanks for the help!" they then began to walk to the door Rainbow saying, "I can still taste the blueberry pie..." as they did.
Back with the others...
"Guys... before we go in put these on!" Pinkie said while handing out glasses that had a one way transparent plastic coloured with pink and white swirls.
"It's for your eyes so you don't strain them..." she said as she put her own pair on. "This is a little something that I only just started working on." She began to walk into the room with the others following. "I thought, 'If TV can send an image though millions of little... stuffs... and rejoin them on the other end, why can't I do the same with candy and chocolate?'"
Twilight looked at Fluttershy and starts mouthing, "Is she for real?"
Pinkie continued, "Why can't I send candy or chocolate from here to the television, ready to eat?" She walked over to a panel of buttons.
"That sounds impossible..." Fluttershy said.
Twilight got a tiny bit temperamental when she said that, saying, "SOUNDS impossible!? Fluttershy, it IS impossible!! Pinkie, you know absolutely nothing about science!! First of all, there is a massive difference between waves and particles!! Second, it would take at LEAST 12 Sonic Rainbooms to transfer the energy in matter!!"
Pinkie too got a little angry, "Alright, Twilight, I GET IT!!!!" she yelled at her, a smile soon coming back to her face. "I didn't understand a single word you said then..." Twilight then shut up and let Pinkie continue. "Now, how about a demonstration?" she asked.
There was a large piece of chocolate sitting on a large pedestal. "The chocolate has to be big because, when you send the image it gets shrunk depending on what size a TV you have? It kinda works the same way." She then presses a button and the chocolate began to float until it disappeared in a flash of light.
"It's gone...!" Fluttershy said as she saw it go.
"Told ya Twilight!" Pinkie said. "Let's head to the TV across the room." They quick ran to the TV to see the chocolate coming into sight on the screen. "There you go! One bar of chocolate! Twilight, take it!" Pinkie told her.
"You can't take what's not there... It's a picture of a TV screen..." she said.
Pinkie looked at her and said, "Scaredy flank... Flutters... You take it!" Fluttershy stuttered as Pinkie looked at her. She then began to reach into the screen to grab the chocolate, actually putting her hoof in the screen as she did so! "By the princesses!" Twilight declared. When Fluttershy got the bar out she then opened it and took a bite in it.
"It's fantastic..." she said while her mouth was full.
"So, here's the scenario! Somepony is just siting around watching TV and a commercial comes on saying that these chocolates are the best in Equestria, and ask if they would like to try one! They then reach out and take it!" Pinkie explained.
"Can you send other things using this? Say, animal feed?" Fluttershy asks.
"Yeah, sure I could!" Pinkie replied. Twilight looked at the floor thinking until she looked up at Pinkie and said,
"What about other ponies?" Pinkie looked confused. "I can but why would I? We aren't cannibals, we don't eat each other!" she said.
Twilight stated, "But Pinkie Pie, what you've invented is a teleporter!! It can be used for greater uses other than chocolate and candy!!"
Fluttershy tried to negotiate by saying, "Calm down Twi... I'm pretty sure Pinkie Pie knows what she's doing..."
"NO SHE DOESN'T!!! SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING!!! SHE THINKS SHE'S A GENIUS, BUT SHE'S A LUNATIC!!!" Twilight yelled in a rage. "But I'm not!!" she said before she ran past both of them to the panel they were at a few moments ago.
"Twi... Could you not press my button?" Pinkie asked before Twilight pressed the button and jumped to the pedestal. After a moment or 2 Twilight began floating, pulling of flips and pulling off funny shapes and stuff before she disappeared in a flash of light!
"She's gone!" Fluttershy said, slightly panicky. Pinkie turned around to talk to her.
"Let's go and check the TV and see what happens..." she said as she walked to the TV. "I just hope all of her makes it here..."
"I'm sorry?" Fluttershy said as she heard that.
"Well, sometimes only about half of the pieces make it all the way though." Pinkie replied. She then looked at Fluttershy and asked, "If you had to choose one half of her, what half would you pick?" Fluttershy looked at her with a bit of anger. "No need to act like that... It was only a question..." she then said.
Pinkie then started to flick though the other channels to look for Twilight, until eventually she comes in clear. "Oh! There she is!" Pinkie said as she saw her friend.
"Oh my goodness..." Fluttershy said as she saw Twilight, who was a bit small than before. A lot smaller in fact! Twilight then stepped out from the TV and said, "I told ya I was right!" in a really squeaky voice. "What the... What's with my voice!? Did I shrink!?" Twilight started to panic.
"Yes you have! But at least you're completely unharmed!" Pinkie said.
Fluttershy looked at Pinkie and said, "That's unharmed?"
Twilight then started pleading, "Just put me back in the other way!!!"
Pinkie told her, "There isn't another way... It's television, not telephone. There's a very big difference!" Twilight looked down at the floor as Pinkie said, "I think I read somewhere that ponies that have been shrunk are more stretchy. I'VE GOT IT! WELL PUT HER IN THE TAFFY PULLER!!!"
Twilight then looked up at Pinkie and said, "TAFFY PULLER!!!?"
Pinkie then picked up the tiny Twilight and walked over to a little slot that says "to the taffy puller" on it. She then opens the slot puts Twilight in it and she starts falling into who knows where! Fluttershy then looked at Pinkie and she said, "I hope she'll be okay..."
Pinkie replied, "She will be. I've got the taffy puller on automatic so she should be fine! Skinny, but fine!" Pinkie then walks to the door they came in, while saying, "On with the tour!"
Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory
Pinkie dimmed the lights, took her glasses off and said, "There's still tons left to see! How many of you guys are here!?"
Fluttershy looked around the room before taking her glasses off and said quietly, "Umm... Pinkie... I'm the only one left now..." After hearing that Pinkie's smile slowly dropped.
She then turned around to look at Fluttershy and asked with a confused look, "You're the only one here now?" Fluttershy nodded, slightly smiling. Pinkie looked around even more confused. "What happened to the others? Did they not show up?" she asked.
Fluttershy smiled as she took off Pinkie's purple top hat and said, "They did show up, but left as we moved from room to room..." Pinkie began smiling, taking back her hat carefully from Fluttershy.
She put it back on her head and said, "Then that means you won!" She hugged her friend and then let go a minute later, saying, "Anyway, now's not the time for soft moments right now! Ooo! Soft Moments! I'll have to call my next chocolate that!!" She hits herself with her hoof to regain her train of thought. "But anyway, we have a lot to do before today is over! But luckily for us we have the elevator to help speed th..." she said as she walked into the elevator doors, falling onto the floor as she hit it. She then got up and continued. "...speed things up a bit."
She presses the button and the elevator doors opened, the two walked into the elevator and Pinkie pressed a button labeled 'The Penthouse'.
"The penthouse?" Fluttershy asked. The elevator began to go up to the top of the factory.
"Yeah! It's the place where I hang out when I'm not busy with orders and stuff." Pinkie replied. A few moments later they got to the penthouse and it was a massive room with a fountain, a large couch, a king size bed, and 2 watch glasses: one for overlooking the factory and one for over looking the outside of the factory.
They stepped out of the elevator and Fluttershy looked around in awe, as she did before in the chocolate room. She then looked at the outdoor window and remembered, "Are the others okay?"
Pinkie looked at her and said, "They're perfectly fine. I've given them 50 boxes of chocolate bars as an apology for messing their lives up!" Fluttershy walked to the window to see the outside. "They should all be exiting the factory now..." Pinkie said as she walked over the the window.
Applejack and Applebloom both walked out, both covered in chocolate, with Applejack eating the chocolate. "Applejack! Stop eating yerself!" her younger sister told her.
Applejack stopped to tell her, "Well, you would too if you tried a bit..." She continued, munching on the chocolate on the side of her fat flank. Applebloom then gave her sister her hat back and she stopped eating, realizing that if she wasn't as greedy as she was in there... she would have gotten something better.
Rainbow and Scootaloo were next to exit the factory, bending her body into weird shapes and even walking belly side up. She was still purple. "Scoots! Check this out!" she said before she stood on her two front hooves and did the splits with her two hind hooves in the air. "I'm a lot more flexible now! Just thing of the moves I can do!" she said as she returned to normal stature.
"I know, but you're purple... We might as well call you Violet Dash..." Scoots said as she walked. Rainbow hugged her with a wing as she learnt that being the first do something, doesn't mean you're gonna get it right.
Rarity and Sweetie Belle were next and they were both covered in garbage. Rarity was extremely annoyed that her dress was covered in it. "When we get home you are in for a world of trouble!" Rarity told her younger sister.
"Me!? I saved you! You were the one who wanted that squirrel!" Sweetie Belle said. Rarity was about to yell at her back, but realized that it was her that wanted the squirrel to begin with.
"Oh, I'm sorry for snapping at you for my mistake... plus you did help me out..." she said as she learned that you can't have everything you want. Sweetie Belle smiled as Rarity came closer and wrapped a hoof around her.
Twilight was last to leave, she was about 15 meters tall. Having a bit of trouble walking as she kept tripping. "I hope Spike or the princess can believe what happened in there..." she said as she slowly got used to the height. She learnt that sometimes the most logic of reasoning or answers can not end well or be right. "I better find a shrink spell when I get back to the library, this feels too odd..." she said after tripping again.
Back in the penthouse, Fluttershy looked at her friends thinking that their lives are never gonna be the same again. Pinkie walked up to her and says to her, "Flutters? Can I tell you something?" She nods. "I actually won this factory 5 years ago... On a tour similar to the one you just went on. The last owner gave me the factory and I never left it since." Pinkie said.
Fluttershy turned around and asks, "So, you didn't win this a week ago in a raffle like you told us?" Pinkie shakes her head.
"But I did only just hire the CMC yesterday. I did go out to hang out with you guys, but apart from that I haven't set hoof outside. I'm kinda bored with this place. I know, me being bored, a first!" she said.
Fluttershy walks up to her and asks, "So, what are you gonna do?" Pinkie then took off her hat and put it on Fluttershy's head.
"I'm giving the factory to you." she said. Fluttershy was speechless, she kept stuttering on every word.
"I-I-II-I I don't know what to say..." she said.
Pinkie simply smiled and said, "It's your factory now..." She then hugged her and took off her bow tie and buttoned shirt, handing them to her as she took them off. "I hope you'll take care of the factory as well as I did. I've set up plans for and animal room if you want..." Pinkie said as she began walking out the room.
Fluttershy then put on the shirt and tie and walked to a mirror, looking at herself. She smiled and walked to the window overlooking outside to see Pinkie Pie bouncing out the gates. She turned around, waved at Fluttershy, who waved back. "Right Fluttershy..." she told herself. "...What to do first?"
Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory
2 months later, Fluttershy had made one or two changes to the factory: she hired workers and aloud tours to go on for the public. She also managed to get the animal room built, but it was for limited access only. She had also changed the outfit she wore a bit to a forest green sweater with flowers on it and put a red rose in it. One thing she kept was the bow tie. She also slightly changed the top hat to have blue tulips on it.
She invited the 5 other friends to see what was going on inside the factory. Twilight was still a bit tall, but she was a lot shorter than when she left first time. Rainbow returned to her normal aqua blue and rainbow mane, but her flank and tail was still purple. Applejack lost most of the weight but was still a tiny bit doughy. Rarity had forgotten all about the shute incident. And Pinkie was as cheerful as she was before, bubbly and hyperactive.
She showed them around the factory and this time all of them stayed together. At the end she took them to the penthouse for a feast. At the table there was gum put into different stacks, when they saw that they were slightly worried. "Don't worry! I fixed it! I'm releasing it to the pubic soon!" she told the others. They sat down and picked up one and started chewing.
Rarity took the opportunity to make a joke, "Rainbow? Are you turning green?" she said jokingly. Rainbow knew it was a joke and they all laughed. "But in all seriousness, this apple pie is amazing!" she told Fluttershy.
She looked at Applejack and said, "It's a family recipe."
Applejack winked as she chewed, then she said, "Ah've heard rumors that you're releasing a story based on what happened."
Fluttershy told her, "Oh yes, I am in fact!"
Twilight then asked, "Can you read it to us?"
Pinkie joined in, "Yeah Flutters! Tell us!!"
"Well..." Fluttershy said as she simply looked at nowhere, as if she was breaking the 4th wall, saying, "...I already have..."
