Prologue

There laid the pink pony, her body flat against the cold floor, eyes wondering beyond the horizon, of the trashed room above Sugarcube Corner, a place she called home. A clock on the wall kept on ticking, but the mare did not seem to notice any of her surroundings, she only kept starring out into nothingness. It was becoming harder and harder for her to accept her goal, being an element of harmony meant fame and parties. If she thought hard enough, she could remember a time when those feelings were all she could ever hope for. But now that she had achieve her life long dream, she felt......empty.

Outside the room Mrs. Cake was cleaning the hallway like she always did, from room to room, from corner to corner, until she came to Pinkie's door. She tried to open but it was locked, she tap on the door. No answer came.

''Pinkie can you please be a dear and open the door '' Mrs.Cake called out.

Still no answer. She became worried and cried out once again.

''Pinkie open this door please !''.

She waited, but no answer came. Now trully worried she yelled at the door

'' Pinkimina Diane Pie, open this door this instant !''.

Inside the room, the pink pony with straight hair stood up, her eyes twitched as she heard that name. She tried never to remember those days, the days on the rock farms owned by her family. As the door was being unlocked by Mrs.Cake, Pinkie's mind wondered back to where all her troubles began.

Griffin Wars

Somewhere in the middle of the trenches sat a brown old stallion. He lit a match and brought it close to a lamp, the lamp light up revealing Pinkie's father's face.

The old stallion looked tired, hungry, miserable. He placed a cigar in his mouth as he heard the bombardment shells fall from above. All he could do now was wait for death, his commander ordered them to hold the line. Knowing his fate, all he wanted was to be able to give his family a proper farewell.

He picked up his sword using his teeth, he started to sharpen it. He then polished it, until he could see his own reflection. His reflection stared back for a moment. He didn't have long now, the enemies were on their way, thousands of griffins, all armed and ready for the raid.

With the last moments of his life he thought of his farm, he thought of his family.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was just an ordinary day on the rock farm, just like every other day. There were no birds singing, no beautiful flowers blowing in the wind, no clouds, just the beaming sun in the sky above, and the rocks bellow on the dirty land. There in the middle of the patch of grey and brown laid a pink blur, it had its head hanging low, tears on its eyes. The small filly was almost as small as the rocks she harvested. She had a sad look on her face, he thought of the life away from the farm, away from her family, away from her troubles.

All that kept her from leaving was her over protective mother, and the idea of abandoning her sisters. Her mother had taken care of her for years since her father left to fight in The Griffin Wars, a single parent taking care of three foals was no easy task. So the mother became as strict as she could, nothing could ever harm her daughters while her hudsband was away; not even themselves.

Parties were banned on the household, so that no harm could be caused by accidents while playing ''put the tail on the pony''. Pinkie and her sisters were order never to leave the farm, so that they wouldn't need to deal with the troubles of the outside world. No strangers were allowed to talk to the foals, so that they wouldn't become influenced by the wrong ponies.

Overall life was boring and uneventfull, all except for that day long ago, when Pinkie saw an explosion in the horison. It was as if a rainbow had exploded, sending a beautiful array of colors sweaping across the skies, it was unlike anything she had ever seen. It brought her hope, dreams, and happiness. But those feelings only lasted until the departure of her father a few months after. The war had caused a great deal of pain and suffering, for both of those involved fighting on the battlefield, or praying at home.

Pinkie still looking down towards the ground, beggan to weep. She did not like to think about her father.The old brown stalion had been the only thing keeping the family together, he was one of the most experienced rock farmer in all of Equestria. And so were all of his ancestors, all stalions in the family had been at one time the best rock farmers in all of Equestria. Truth is her father was dissapointed that he had no stalions to keep the tradition, but that did not stop him from loving his daughters, and being proud of them.

His face flashed in her mind one last time, the hopelessness in his eyes as he left to war. She wondered why did he had to go, why she couldn't had gone with him. She held the dog tags in one hoof, she felt her hearth race faster as if it was crying out for her to act. She stood up on the spot, finding new energy powering her hooves as she ran full speed ahead towards the setting sun, towards the next city,

towards her new life.

More Than Just Another Brick in the Wall (redux)

Chapter 1: More Than Just Another Brick in the Wall

Ponyville

Footage of the revolution taking place in Ponyville was spreading like a fire throughout all of Equestria. The Royal Guards were sent by Nightmare Moon to stop the protests. The scenes being broadcast were of pure chaos, as the protesters fought the Royal Guards savagely. Chariots were being set on fire, a big red stallion was being dragged into a prison chariot by twelve guards, pegasi were using lightning against the unicorn guards, a mare could be seen running shouting “The horror!!!! The horror!!!!“.

The entire event was being watched by the leader of the revolution, a certain pink mare who now had a shaved head with no mane. Pinkamina or “Pinkie“ as she was now called, watched with glee from atop her room in the Suguarcube Corner, as her followers fought off the Royal Guards. With the help of five other mares, she had learned that leading a mob was as easy as pie.

“So ya thought ya might like to go to the show ? To feel the warm thrill of confusion ? Well I’ve got some bad new for you sunshine ! Pinkie isn’t well, she stayed back at the hotel !“ Cried out Pinkie from her balcony, spot-lights now aimed at her.

In the mayhem bellow a mare with a rainbow colored mane was being dragged by the guards into a chariot, a mixture of blood and tears splashed across her face. All that she could think of was How ? How did we get here ? What happened to our cause ?. The answer to her question came in a flashback, that fateful day when she met Pinkie.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pinkamena felt tired, she had been running for a day and a half now, she followed the train tracks in the hopes of reaching a new town. The metal railing shined in her eyes, it had been long since she last saw a train, most had left to be use in the war effort. She was safe as long as she followed the tracks. Even while crossing the Evergreen, she had nothing to fear, the forest had been cut down in the area surrounding the tracks. She felt thirsty, her mouth was as dry as sand.

She looked off to one side of the forest, she saw a lake, she wondered if it was safe to drink from it. Without another thought she made her way to the small stream of water. She place her mouth into it and drank. She felt as if life was being poured into her, once she was satisfied, the pink mare made her way back to the tracks. She could see a sign in the distance, she brushed her eyes with her hooves, is it real ? Or is it a mirage ?.

Her face lit-up as she saw the sign reading “Welcome to Ponyville : The safest, most loving place in all of Equestria “. I did it dad, I found a place to call home she thought to herself. Maybe they will even trow a party for my arrival

Feeling hopeful and happy Pinkamina raced into the town, her hair literary puffed up into a cotton candy styled mane. She stopped at the town-center to look around the small village, she felt as if all the grown-ups were watching her. It was only then that she noticed, there were no other children for her to play with or befriend.

“Hey you !“ Pinkamina heard someone call out at her, she turned to find a middle-aged mare with white a mane and light brown coat.

“Yes you ! What do you think you are doing outside of school !? And why didn't you brush that mess of a mane before leaving home this morning !? “ Pinkamina could only gaze at the mare with a puzzled face, as her mane dis-inflated back to normal .

“Well ? Go on, tell me your excuse young lady“. Demanded the mare

“I-I just got here“ Pinkamina managed to speak in a voice that could barely be heard.

“Huh ? Fine then, since you are new here allow me to introduce myself, I am the Mayor of Ponyville“. Said the mayor as she started walking down the road, gesturing with a hoof for Pinkamina to follow her. “Now dear ?....“

Pinkamina hesitated for a moment trying to come up with a new name before answering “ Pinkie, just call me Pinkie“

“Well Pinkie, here in Ponyville we are blessed to be closely guarded by our queen, who watches us from her throne in Canterlot“. She motioned towards the castle in the mountains. “ You see, many other towns get involved in the war, many train their youngsters how to fight or build weapons“. She stopped outside the entrance of a large building surrounded by walls.“ But here in Ponyviller Pinkie, we send our children to educational centers like this one“. She opened the main door and walked in, followed by Pinkie who looked scared.“Here we prepare a brighter future to all of Equestria, we teach all of our little ponies how to act, how to talk, and how to think“. They stopped in front of a classroom door. Pinkie didn't like the sound of the last lesson.

“Well that sounds.....w-wonderful, but I was wondering, when do I get to meet all the other kids ?“ Pinkie asked in the hopes of making friends.

the bell rang.

“Funny you should ask, your next class starts now. So head over inside, and have fun learning“ She said with a misleading smile as she left.

Pinkie was scared, it was the first time she would be meeting new ponies, and it was the first time she would have class since her fath- No, he is gone now, and I must learn to live without him. With that in mind, she opened the door and walked in.

There in front of her were rows upon rows of unidentifiable ponies, all of them seemed to be wearing masks on their faces that made them look like raw meat. Her eyes gazed with horror at the scene,surely they can’t look like that, right ? I- I must be imagining things right now from the long trip to here. That’s it, I must just be hallucinating, right ? She questioned herself, but before she could get an answer she was called by a strange and powerful voice.

“And you are ?“ Asked the teacher.

“Pinkie. Mrs....“

“Cheerilee“ Answer the mare.“ Now then Mrs.Pinkie, find yourself a seat“ demanded the teacher.

Pinkie looked back to the class to find no more masked ponies, instead they all looked like her usual self. They all wore uniforms that covered their entire body including their cutie-mark, and they all had straighten hair; all except for one rainbow maned filly who sat in the back of the classroom. Intrigued, Pinkie made her way to the back of the classroom and found an empty seat next to the particular filly. In front of her seat Pinkie saw a earth-pony stallion with a brown coat, and dark brow mane.

“Hey, my name is Pinkie, what’s your name ?“ Pinkie asked the stallion. No answer came.She repeated “What’s your name ?“. Yet no answer, the stallion was reading the book in front of him as if his life depended on it.

“Don’t worry about him, like most of the others, he is just another brick in the wall“ Said the rainbow maned pegasus.

“What do you mean ?“

“They only live to follow, pathetic creatures really, they have no goals, no dreams, they only study all their lives for nothing“ She sighed. “ By the way, name is Dash, Rainbow Dash“. She extended a hoof.

“Call me Pinkie, just Pinkie“ Said the pink filly as she touched Dash’s hoof.

“Pinkie huh ? I like the sound of that, it’s short but much more creative than most of this losers, nice to meet you“

Feeling Dash’s hatred towards the rest of the class Pinkie thought of a way to separate herself from the others.

“Nice to meet you too Dash, and I can assure you“. Her mane puffing up again. “I am more than just another brick in the wall“

Goodbye Blue Sky

Chapter 2: Goodbye Blue Sky.

The Griffin Wars

Dead bodies could be seen everywhere, the carnage that took place on the battlefield was unspeakable. Carcass of both griffins and ponies alike stretched to beyond the horizon. Yet in the middle of the ocean of cadavers, there was life, the stallion opened his eyes and gasped for air. He stood up, pushing the dead griffin off his light-brown coated back. He took a look around, the wounded were being dragged out of the trenches, doctors ran left and right attending many patients at once. A chariot stop nearby to pick-up the wounded, airships could be seen in the distance, debris of a city covered the battlefield.

Just then did the stallion notice the large cut spreading across his torso, a fountain of his own blood covered his hooves. He remember a large griffin, with death in its eyes, flying full speed towards him. He remember his futile attempt to find cover from the eyes of his reaper.The beast carried no weapon, instead it came at him using its large claws and beak. With no way to run, Pinkie's father picked-up an spear, aimed at the beast, and braced himself for the worst. The large beast flew chest-first into the spear, breaking it in half in the process. Pinkie's father felt on his back, hitting his head on a rock in the process, on top of him one of the griffin's claw came swinging full-force towards his stomach. There was nothing he could had done to stop the razor sharp talons from ripping his flesh open.

He wouldn't make it back home.

Ceremony

A young puffed hair Pinkie looked down at the coffin, the cold piece of wood had a sign next to it, In honor of a brave warrior, who died for his queen, and kingdom, it read. Pinkie's mother stood next to her inside the cathedral, tears in her eyes felt down her face. The old building was decorated with pillars that reached the decorated ceiling above, hundreds of flags depicting their queen ,Nightmare Moon, hanged on the walls as ornaments. Overall it set a somber mood.

All of her family wore black dresses, her sisters kept crying at the steps of the coffin. Pinkie could not comprehend what type of party this was, she did not understand why her daddy was laying on the coffin, why was he sleeping in such a silly place. Why doesn't he wake up and come play with me ? she thought as she looked outside, all the other fillies who's fathers had returned from the war were playing. Is he tired from his business trip ? Why won't anyone try to wake him ? Does he not want to be with us anymore ? all of her thoughts were making her fell uncomfortable.

“ Mommy, why is daddy sleeping inside that box ? “ Pinkie asked

“Well you see, your father is.....how do I say it ? He is gone Pinkamena“ Said the mare, between tears and sobs, to her daughter

Only then did it dawn on Pinkie what this ceremony was about, it was no party, it was no celebration, it was....sad. Something snapped inside the filly, her mane became straight, her eyes drifted in different directions if only for a split second.

They all stood up, drying their tears they began to leave the building. Outside the cathedral was a playground where many foals could been seen playing with their parents. As the Pie family made their way to their chariot, Pinkie drifted away to go play in the playground. She stood still, griming insanely, watching the other children have fun. She approached a unicorn stallion who was using his magic to spin his daughter in a merry go round, she tapped a hoof on his back legs. The stallion almost jumped from the sudden tap to the leg, he looked back to find a small pink earth pony griming at him.

“Hey there little filly, are you lost ?“. He asked uncomfortably as he noticed the grim on her face.

Pinkie shook her head left and right

“Huh....do you want to go for a spin ?“. Pinkie shook her head up and down. “Alright, just let me help you get in there“ he said while levitating her into the ride.

Pinkie took a sit next to the other filly, she enjoyed the ride, she felt as if it was her father spinning her. Once the ride stopped the unicorn and her daughter went to the slide, Pinkie followed them close behind.

“Hey kid, are you following us ?“ Asked the now uncomfortable unicorn. “ Go on, get back to your parents“

Pinkie stayed behind, only to start following them again once they were further away. The small blue filly went down the slide, only to be caught by her father at the bottom. Pinkie went down the slide after her, but no one was there to catch her. She stood there for a moment, at the bottom of the slide, as if she was waiting for her father to show up and catch her. She found the unicorn leaving the playground with his daughter on his back, she followed them, she got close and tried to climb his back.

The unicorn felt something trying to climb his back, he turn to find the small creepy pink filly trying to climb his back. “Hey stop that, I told you go to your parents, I am not your father“

Those last words stuck to her hear, her grim faded, only to be replaced by a frown. She watched as both father and daughter went to the swings. The blue filly sat on the swing, as her father magically swan her back and forth, the filly laughed with pure joy.

Pinkie sat on an empty swing in the back of the playground. She sat there waiting for her father to push her, she waited and waited but nothing happened. She watched the other foals have fun with their parents, Why can they have fun when I can't ? Why can't I enjoy a day with my dad ? Why me, why not them ? Why did he have to go ? Who will repla-...No no one will ever replace hi- . Her train of thought was interrupted when she heard her mother call her from the chariot.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Back at the rock farm

As the family arrived back home from the ceremony, Pinkie went to the kitchen and made herself a sandwich, she then proceeded to pick up a newspaper from a table nearby. She remembered her father reading the same newspaper everyday at breakfast. She walked up stairs as if going to her room, but something caught her eyes before she got there. She looked at the open door, it lead to her father's room, she stood and watched from afar for a moment. She felt as if something was calling out to her, she was attracted by the room, like a moth to a lamp.

She made her way inside, the room was left intact, as if time had stopped once her father left. The bed was still made the way he liked it, the cabinet with three mirrors in front of the bed was clean and organized. She made her way to the closet which, was attached to the wall next to the door. She opened the last drawer to find all of her dad's military equipment. She found the scroll sent to her mother by the queen, telling that her father had passed away. She picked up the shaving razor her father used to carry around, she opened it, only to find that it was in pristine condition. She placed the razor back in the drawer, she saw her father's uniform laying neatly at the bottom of his belongings.

Pinkie made her way to the mirror, she was now wearing all of her father's uniform, which were too big for her. She approached the mirror tilting her hat, an image of her father doing the same gesture before leaving flashed in her mind. She stared at her reflection, she felt her dad starring back.

Nightmare Moon School for Youngsters, Ponyville

Rainbow Dash called Pinkie, she snapped out of her daydream, she remembered that class was still going on. She looked to her left, only to find a rainbow pegasus with a puzzled face starring at her.

“What was that about ?“ Asked Dash whispering so that Cheerilee wouldn't notice.

“What was what ?“ Pinkie whispered back.

“ The whole, 'start writing down stuff, while looking oblivious to anyone's else existence' “

“Oh, sorry about that, I was just writing a poem to my dad, when some bad memories came back to me“

“Ok, so tell me what is the poem about ?“

“It's about his heroic deeds during the war, I call it Goodbye Blue Sky“

“That sounds awesome, I hope he likes it, maybe you can introduce him to me later, I was always into the military and stuff“

“Well I wished I could, but he...he died during the war“ Pinkie managed to say before a loud “WHAT !??? “ came from the rainbow mare who looked both shocked and embarrassed.

Pinkie's blood went cold, the hair in the back of her neck stood up, she new that she was screwed.

“What have we here ?“ Mrs, Cheerilee asked coldly. “ Mischievous scribblings ? Some kind of secret code ? No, poems no less. Poems everybody ! “ She gave a sadistic laugh, the class joined in. She read some of the poem out-loud so that the whole class could hear it.

“Absolute rubbish young lady“ she told Pinkie before hitting one of her hooves with her ruler.“Get on with your work !“ The mare demanded.

“Repeat after me, our queen Nightmare Moon is the one and only true ruler of Equestria...“ The whole class repeated, except for a pink mare sitting in the back.

“ You, up front this instant !!!“ Called Mrs.Cheerilee pointing at Pinkie.

Pinkie braced herself for her punishment. “ Why did you not repeat the lesson ? Do you think otherwise ?“ Mrs. Cheerilee asked.

“ Yes“ Said Pinkie confidently, the whole class gasped except for Cheerilee who looked angry, a pin could be heard falling to the floor for a moment before she continued. “ If you think that mean old mare is my queen you are wrong, I will not stand for someone who places children in facilities such as this just to wash their minds.WE DONT NEED NO EDUCATION ! “ Yelled the defiant student at her teacher.

“I heard enough out of you“ Mrs.Cheerilee took her ruler and smacked Pinkie non-stop, until she was crying in pain. “Now then for your insolence I shall place you under detention ! Such waste of potential as yourself does not deserve to go out after school“

Pinkie couldn't bring herself to stop crying on the floor. the bell rang and class was dismissed, all except for Pinkie, who was still laying in front of the room. Rainbow waited for everypony to leave the classroom before making her way to the pink mess.

“I am so sorry Pinkie, I didn't mea-“

“It's ok Dashie, it wasn't your fault, I mean I really should had kept my mouth closed“ Replied the mare with a sympathetic smile on her face.

“You know, you really should't speak of revolution while on school, there are guards everywhere; plus all the teacher are hoof-picked by the queen herself“ Dash informed her friend.

“You could had informed me earlier you know ?“ Responded Pinkie with a sarcastic tone.

“Sorry about that, It's just that....well everyone is scared to be as brave as you“ Pinkie looked at Dash's face, which was a mixture of pain and shame. “You are a brave pony Pinkie, our movement could use someone like you“

Pinkie was intrigued by what she just heard. “ What movement ?“

“ Well me and some friends formed a group to oppose Nightmare Moon's rule over Equestria, we have about eight members....well nine if you wish to join that is“ Dash looked at Pinkie with hope in her eyes. “ Well I know it sounds silly but if you could jus--“

“ I am in“ Answered Pinkie determined as ever.

Dash stood dumbstruck by how fast her friend had answered, most ponies didn't listen to her, others refused before she could finish. “ R-really ?“

“Yes really, you silly filly“ Answered the now laughably happy mare who jumped around Rainbow in circles.“i mean we have the same goal, and I really wish to make friends“

“ Ok, but before you can meet them I must bust you out of here. Look, while on detention ask to go to the bathroom, enter the third stool, tap on the left wall three times, the rest will be pretty obvious.“ Said Rainbow in a whisper as she left the room.

Pinkie wasn't sad anymore, she didn't feel empty, she now had a purpose in life, she had a friend.

The Happiest Days of Our Lives

Chapter 3: The Happiest Days of Our Lives

Suguarcube Corner

Pinkie laid in bed, when suddenly the phone on the nightstand began to ring, she reach for it. Her movement almost knocked the picture of her and Rainbow Dash on to the floor. She waited a moment for the caller to speak, she didn't really listen, instead she was too busy reliving her memories. She remember the passionate kisses she shared with Rainbow Dash. She heard nothing on the other end, so she placed the phone back on the hook.

She turned over to look at the right side of bed, it was empty, she was alone again. She reached for a pillow and hugged it, she laid there in fetal position. She missed the feeling of another mare's body warming her, she missed the feeling of being hugged back. Flashbacks of the days after her father's death returned to her. When she slept next to her mother, she held her just as she was holding the pillow.

She recalled the beginning of her fallout with Rainbow. She recalled Rainbow Dash opening the door, making her way next to her in bed. She slowly started to undress, her uniform felt to the floor piece by piece. Pinkie paid little attention to her marefriend, instead she was too busy experimenting with rainbow juice extract The feeling that coursed through her veins made her feel numb. After a few attempts on foreplay, Dash quickly notice it was really going nowhere.

In another memory, Pinkamena laid sick in her old bed, back at the farm. The doctor with a muffin top for a mane stood and analysed her. Her walked next to her mother and whispered something in her hears, the old mare began to cry. Pinkie became scared, she wondered if it was her time, she wondered if her father came back to take her away from her mother.She began to quietly cry.

“Hush now baby,b-baby, don't you cry. Mama will keep her baby cozy and warm“ . Reassured the old mare speaking in a loud whisper to the filly in bed.

“But I'm no baby mother“ Answered the pink filly.

“You'll always be baby to me“ Replied her mother with a weak smile. She made her way to the door of the room, she turned off the lights, and went to her own bed down the hallway. Pinkie waited a few minutes trying to sleep, but she felt something missing, she stood up and went to her mother's bed. She laid next to her and hugged her tightly.

Rainbow Dash laid in bed with her back turned to Pinkie, lately making love did not have the spark it used to. It was as if Pinkie wasn't paying attention, as if she was absent in her own head. It felt as if sex was an obligation, a chore. In contrast, she recalled the day of their marriage, all of their friends attended the ceremony, Granny Smith united them in holy matrimony. A sea of rose pettles laid on the wet ground, it was the happiest day of their lives.

That was all before Pinkie asked Fluttershy for a favor. Pinkie knew Fluttershy was the mare to go to if you ever needed anything that wasn't really legal. All she wanted was to try some zap-apple cider, and maybe get some fire ruby dust. She heard that those substances tended to 'alleviate' all the worries you had, it erased the bad memories, it took the pain away.

It was her first time trying, so she didn't know what to expect, or how much to use. She placed some of the fire ruby into her cider, there was a quick ,small, explosion on her cup. She downed her drink as fast as she could. All of her attachment to the world was lost.

Rainbow Dash was sick of making love with a cardboard cut-out of her former lover. She made her way inside Suguarcube Corner, up to Pinkie's room, where Pinkie sat playing the piano.

“Hello, hello, is there anybody in there ?“ Asked Dash in a sing-a-song voice, following the piano keys.

No answer

She waved her hoof in front of Pinkie's face, Pinkie blankly stared at her for a moment,

“Remember me ? You know the mare from school who married you ?“ Rainbow asked in an irritated tone before turning around and leaving, the door slammed on her way out.

Pinkie kept playing, she was a leader of a revolution, not someone's lover.

She was now making her way down Ponyville. Spike, her adviser walked next to her, he spoke a great deal of things, none of which Pinkie paid attention to or cared. She kept thinking of how Dash was dealing with their break up, she knew that those ideas would only bring pain, but the pain would be gone after a few cups of zap-apple cider.

Rainbow sat in a chair back home, her phone kept ringing, she ignored it, she knew it was Pinkie. The only question in her mind was What happen to you Pinkie ?. Flashbacks of the day she introduced Pinkie to her other friends played over and over again in her head. She felt so proud of how well they all got along, she felt even better when Pinkie threw a party to celebrate the addition of a new member to their cause. Before long they were already protesting, the movement had expanded greatly since Pinkie took control. She made sure to meet everypony in Ponyville, and after that she started to recruit ponies by the dozens.

She left her home, she knew who to go to in times of need. A rainbow formed from her home, to Sweet Apple Acres. Rainbow walked inside looking for Applejack, the orange mare was just finishing sealing the last casket of apple cider. She looked back at her friend

“Rainbow, wat in tarnations are ya doin' here ?“

“Well things didn't really work out between Pinkie and I, so I just thought I would...“Rainbow stated in an embarrassed tone.

“Don't ya worry sugar-cube, I got just the righ' stuff for ya“ Applejack said giving a wink and a smile to her friend.

“No, please you don't understand, I don't want that type of help, I want your help“ Both mares blushed

“Oh....in that case, why don't ya go wait for me up'stairs ? Just need a moment to warm'up“.

Pinkie need to get her fix, the memories started to come back, each time worst then the next. She was making her way back from a meeting, it was dawn in Ponyville. She needed more cider, the only way to get it in such quick notice was to go to the source. She made her way to a public phone, she place a bit in the slot and made a call.

The phone started ringing in the nightstand, Applejack extend a hoof to pick it up, only to notice the sleeping pegasus next to her. She quietly answered the phone, trying not wake up her companion.

“Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack speakin' “

“Applejack, it's Pinkie“ Applejack gulped, she felt as if someone had dropped a bag of ice in the back of her neck. “ Listen I need some supplies, and I know you are the source so I want to--“ she was interrupted by a third voice coming from the other side of the line.

“Good morning Mrs.Apple Dash“ Said the oblivious mare, who was right bellow the phone, out loud.

Applejack couldn't describe the feeling of pure embarrassment on her face. She quickly heard the line drop on the other end. “Hello, Pinkie are ya still there sugar-cube ?“ Asked the orange mare panicking.

Pinkie laid on the side of the road next to the phone, pure hopelessness in her eyes. She lost both her wife, and her medicine on the same day. No amount of cider, or fire rubies, or rainbow extract would make her feel any better now. She was completely hopeless, lost, empty.

Nightmare Moon’s School for Youngsters. Ponyville

Pinkie had been in detention for about an hour already, she tried to ask to use the bathroom, but the teacher kept talking over her while writing in the board.

“ Now as I was saying, The Sun Tyrant was overthrown by our queen Nightmare Moon one thousand years ago, because...“ Pinkie stopped paying attention to the the teacher's babbling long ago. “Now do you have any questions about the complete ruler-ship of our queen ?“

She raised her hoof. “Can I go to the bathroom ?“ She asked without any attempts to hide her complete boredom.

“I don't know, can you ?“ Asked the teacher sarcastically, with a smirk on her face.

“I was using the word 'can' in the sense of 'to have the right or qualification to', being a teacher and all I thought you would understand. But since you don't, I feel the need to ask in a way you will understand. Very well 'May I go to the bathroom ?' “ Finished Pinkie with a smirk of her own.

Mrs.Cheerilee had a frown, she felt angry at being out-smarted by the troublesome filly. “Very well you may go to the bathroom, but this little show of yours cost you the next week in detention“ she finished opening the door and pointing a hoof outside. “Now go, and come back as quick as you can“.

Pinkie made her way outside, her muzzle held high in the air as she passed the teacher. She quickly found the bathroom, inside found three stools. She made her way into the third one, as she was told. She was resistant for a moment, Should I really do it ? she asked herself, What if they don't like me ? What if we a caught ? What would daddy do ?. With that thought she reached out a hoof and tapped the wall three times loudly.

She closed her eyes and braised herself for the worst. Nothing happened. “Well this is anticlimati-“.

A hidden door opened, a claw picked her up and pulled her inside, she tried to scream but her mouth was being covered by another claw. The door closed, everything went dark. “You're late, if it wasn't for Dashie I would've leave you behind. Now I will let go of your muzzle, but you must promise not to scream“ Asked the powerful voice in a whisper.

Pinkie shock her head up and down in agreement. She could feel the release of the grip, she took both hooves up to her eyes and brushed them as if to clean her view. She was in a dark tunnel, she could see a lamp moving away in a steady pace. She followed quickly behind, she asked no questions, she felt that now was not the best of times.

She noticed that the tunnel spread into many different smaller tunnels, each seemed to continue into infinity. Just like the one she was in at the moment. It was about half an hour of crawling later, they've arrived at their destination. A hatch opened above their heads, blue skies could be seen from the hole, a rope felt inside. Pinkie grabbed-on to the rope using her teeth, she was pulled out of the hole by a blonde mane, orange earth pony with a cowboy hat. She looked back to see a large griffin come out of the same hole she was in.

“W-w-what ? A griffin ? Why would a mean old griffin try to help a pony ? Griffins are evil, dangerous,spookie meanie, merciless creatures !“ Asked Pinkie looking back and forth between the mare and griffin. She was in shock of the discovery of her savior's identity.

“You welcome“ Answered the griffin in a sarcastic tone. “Also I have a name, it's Gilda, and yeah I tend to get that reaction a lot“ Stated Gilda not supriced by the reaction.

“Now, now relax sugar-cube, Gilda wont hurt'ya, she's been helpin'us ever since Dash brought her to Ponyville. She is in-charge of security, nopony will be able to hurt ya with her aroun' “ Reassured the orange mare. “By the way, name is Applejack, I provide shelter for our meetings“ The mare extended a hoof greeting Pinkie.

She shook the hoof, “My name is Pinkie, nice to meet you“ She answered Applejack. She looked back at Gilda, who was now shaking the dirt out of her wings. “Sorry about the misunderstanding, it's just that....well a griffin killed my father“ Pinkie looked down for a moment.

“At least we have something in common than“ stated Gilda with a small chuckle.

“Well then, comin'side to meet the rest of us“ Called Applejack walking up to the barn.

Inside Pinkie found five figures, Rainbow Dash who she met the other day. A white unicorn with a blue mane, dressed in a funny looking uniform, which had two crossed hammers emblem on the spot where her cutie mark should be. A yellow pegasus with a pink mane, who was trying her best not to be noticed. A lavender unicorn with a dark indigo,single purple striped mane. And finally a small purple coat, green crest dragon. Behind them all stood a giant banner, depicting two crossed hammers in a red and black background.

“ Well it seems that someone finally decided to show up. You are late, but I guess it wasn't your fault right ?“ Asked the white unicorn in a rhetorical tone. “Well, allow me to introduce you to your new family, you called yourself Pinkie right ? Well my name is Rarity, and I am the leader of this movement; I am also the one who comes up with our uniforms, and disguises“. Pinkie felt pride dripping in every word the white mare spoke.

“That shy ball of yellow feathers is Fluttershy, she doesn't talk much, but she sure knows how to get things done“. Pinkie looked puzzled, noticing it Rarity replied. “Lets just say that she can get certain things from her little birds, from top secret information right down to party gifts. If you know what I mean“. The last part was spoken in a frisky tone.

“This bookworm of an unicorn is Twilight Sparkles“ Twilight didn't look offended “She is our 'inside mare', she has been infiltrating Nightmare Moon's forces for years. Gaining the trust of the enemy is critical when it comes to overthrowing a large kingdom you know ?“. Twilight wore the armor of a high ranking officer of the royal guard, she looked very intimidating and powerful; yet Pinkie felt something friendly about her.

“Spikey wikey over here is our mascot“ Said Rarity picking up the small dragon and snugging him close to her face.

“ Hey, I am not your mascot, I am your adviser“ Said Spike trying to look more important than he actually was.

“Don't forget fax machine as well“ Stated Rainbow holding back her laughter.

“I will remember that next time you ask me to sent someone a message“ He stated with vengeance in his voice.

“Now, now you two not in front of our new member“ Said Rarity.“And finally we have our scout, Rainbow Dash, but I am sure you have met her already. She is in-charged of finding new members who wish to join our cause, until now she has found only you“ Rarity looked down and sighed.“ Well that is if you wish to join, of course“

“Why wouldn't I ? I told Rainbow before, this is my calling“. Reassured the pink mare.

“Well we am glad to hear that“ Everypony was smiling at her.“Now we must find out what you are good at“ Stated Rarity intrigued

“Well, I can throw parties !“ Stated Pinkie with a large grin on her face.

“Huh ?...No Pinkie, I mean, we must find out what you can do to help our cause“ Said Rarity.

Pinkie placed a hoof bellow her chin and thought for a while. What can I do to help, without involving parties ?. Her thoughts were interrupted by a certain cyan pegasus.

“She is really good at giving speeches“ Said Dash.

“I can see that being useful, a commanding voice can influence many into acting“ Stated Twilight looking back at Rarity.

“Influence huh ? Not bad, although we must see you in action first“ Said Rarity.

“What do you want me to do ?“

“Well isn't it obvious, get more ponies to join us that's all. Remember there are strength in numbers“ Stated Rarity. “So, what do you have in mind ?“

“I am going to throw a party of course !!!“ Said the pink pony, grinning the largest grin any of her companions ever saw.

The whole room facehoofed, except for two faceclaws, which came from the nonpony members.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At The Party

Cider flowed from mug to mug, there was loud music playing, and the ponies went wild. Pinkie had invited dozens of ponies to the party, Rarity felt uncomfortable revealing their secret hideout to so many ponies. And yet both Applejack and Rainbow Dash assured her there were going to be no problems. A fancy chariot arrived, with it came many stunning stallions, Rarity didn't care about their hideout any longer.

There was no more space inside the barn, there was a line of ponies outside that extended all the way back to the entrance of the farm. All of the ponies present were students, Spike tried his luck in many mares, but none seem to notice him. Twilight was laying on her back, she had fallen drunk, her armor was scattered throughout the floor; she held her helmet upside down with her magic, while filling it with more cider. Fluttershy was pick-pocketing any drunk pony she came in contact with. Gilda was drinking straight from the barrel, while conversing with a big red stallion, Pinkie came to know the stallion as Big Mac.

By dawn, Rarity was with a stallion in the backroom of the barn; Fluttershy had more bits that she could have use for; Applejack was cleaning the mess left behind; Twilight had left to Canterlot with two other mares she had met at the party; Spike was sleeping inside the bawl of punch; Gilda was smoking a cigar while laying next to a traumatized Big Mac. Pinkie stood at the door of the barn with, she had done it, she was definite a part of the movement now. Yet she felt lonely, well more jealous really, all her friends had found somepony by the end of the night, all except for her.

Rainbow Dash approached Pinkie from behind. “Hey there pinks, what are you looking at ?“

“Nothing really, just looking at the sunrise“ Replied Pinkie with a sigh. “You know I still need to find a home“

“I heard that the Cakes have an empty room you can rent“.Rainbow looked at Pinkie with a seductive look “And besides you have here for now, and there is some left-over cider, we could have our own little party if you want“ She spoke in a seductive tone.

Pinkie looked at the mare next to her wide-eyed. “Sure !“ She smiled and kissed the mare.

It was almost sundown when they came out of the barn, both still sweating and having a hard time walking. This was what Pinkie wanted, lust, she wanted Dash, she wanted love, she wanted fame, she wanted power. And nopony was going to stand in her way, she felt a surge of authority through her mind, she was now a leader not a follower.

And she felt it was time for a change.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sugarcube Corner

Pinkie sat on her chair and waited, anytime now Fluttershy would come in, she would make everything better again. Pinkie had just discovered this morning that Rainbow Dash had left her for Applejack, and it was killing her from the inside. Just then Fluttershy walked into the room, Sugarcube Corner was empty, it had served as Pinkie's home since Rainb--. There I go again, everything eventually leads to that stupid mare .

The room was dimly lighten, the warm air smelled like rotten apples, and there was ruby dust all over the floor. Fluttershy had been talking for some time now, but Pinkie didn't listen to anything the mare said, she was oblivious to all existence. Fluttershy noticed her friend sitting there, doing nothing, she extended a hoof and poke her.

There was no response, Fluttershy was scared for a moment, she thought Pinkie was dead. All of her fears only grew once the pink mare stood up and kicked her chair to the floor. She took her bed by the side and flipped it, she started to destroy her room aggressively. Fluttershy shielded herself using her wings. Pinkie ripped a piece of wood from the wall and threw it against the lamp, she punched her closet's doors until they broke. She ripped the curtains of her windows off.She picked up her nightstand and threw it off the window, the glass broke leaving sharp edges on the borders. Pinkie went up to the new hole where a window used to be, she grabbed the side of the frame as to not fall, in the process she sliced one of her hooves. She took a deep breath and yelled on the top of her lungs, all of Ponyville heard the scream, Pinkie stood there hanging from the window for a moment. Thescream was not one of pain, but a scream of rage, of life, of herself.

“What's wrong with you !!!“ Cried the frighten pegasus before leaving the room. Pinkie walked back inside, she closed the door and locked it. It felt good to get rid of so much steam. She felt exhausted, plus the cut on her hoof made it hard to stand.

The pink pony laid there on the cold floor of the trashed room, she felt nothing, she was numb, comfortably numb.

Goodbye Cruel World

Chapter 4: Goodbye Cruel World

Sugarcube Corner

Pinkie was delusional

She kept imagining Rainbow Dash and Applejack making love back at the farm. the idea of another pony having her Dashie fueled the rage. Images of that farm mare getting intimate with the wings of her desire, the idea of the pegasus actually enjoying herself with another. She could basically taste the pegasus’ pleasure, the warmth of their bodies grinding together made her body cold. Their moans of love were overshadowed by her moans of anger.

Betrayal, that single word echoed throughout her mind, made her uncomfortable, angry, mad.

All of her life flashed before her eyes. Her father leaving, never to return. Her search for a surrogate father. Her days following train tracks from town to town. Her escape from the school. Her rise to power. Her young lust. All of her mistakes, and all of achievements crashed on her mind. She needed something to calm her down.

She searched high and low through all of the debris left behind by her sudden, impulse of emotions. She was looking for anything that could be consumed, anything that could pollute her body. Her search came to a close once she saw the colorful needle laying on the floor, next to the fallen mattress. Rainbow Juice Extract, perfect She picked up the needle

With a weak voice she spoke. “Goodbye cruel world, I am leaving you today. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Goodbye all you ponies, there is nothing you can say to make me change my mind. Goodbye“

With those final words she brought the needle down to her extended foreleg, with the last once of strength she smiled. It should all go away soon was the last thing she thought of before the blackness consumed her mind.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sweet Apple Acres

It had been a week since Pinkie first joined the freedom movement, that was what they began calling it. Since her party, over thirty ponies had joined their cause. Pinkie felt proud of her achievement, maybe influence was her calling after all. She was even prouder to be able to tell others that the beautiful cyan pegasus was her wife, yes she is mine, isn't she ?. She reassured herself with a small nod.

Rarity stood next to a table in the backroom of the barn, she had a large map laying on top of it, many circles and markings could be seen in red. Twilight was back from Canterlot, she delivered a great deal of scrolls over to Rarity, who in turn immediately began analyzing them.

“Is it really possible ? Do you think this is real ? I mean it's astonishing to say the least, if your information is correct“. Stated the white unicorn while reading each scroll.

“Have I ever been wrong ?“. Bolster the lavender mare.

“So the humors are true ? There is a power stronger than Nightmare Moon huh..?“ Stated the exited unicorn.

“What is all of this about, don't we have a movement to be leading ?“. Asked Pinkie noticing that the new information was something important.

“Well Pinkie, you see there have been humors of lately, that involves a great power hidden deep in the Everfree Forest“. Explained Rarity. “A power greater than that of Nightmare Moon, a group of devices that even the queen fears“ She had a smile on her face from such knowledge.

“Wait, what ? But how ? Who created such thing ?“. Pinkie was more curios than ever.

“Well according to my studies, the devices, called Elements of Harmony, were once used by the queen and her sister to banish a great fiend long ago“. Explained Twilight.

“Sister ? What sister ? I never knew that our queen had a sister “ Pinkie was more confused than ever.

“ I'm afraid I also have no idea what you are talking about Twilight“ Replied Rarity.

“You and all of modern Equestria alike“. Twilight sighed, she knew she had to explain to both mares what as happening, she just felt too tired to deal with it at the moment. She took a big breath. “Overonethousandyearsagotwosistersruleddayandnight,theyhadusedtheelementsofharmonytofightoffanevilbeing,afterwardsnightmaremoonbanishedhersistertothesunwhereshestillresides. Any questions ?“

The dumbfound look on the faces of her friends was a strong indicator that she had to explain slower.Twilight facehoofed, this was going to take a while.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Backroom, one explanation later.

“ I see, so if we use this elements against the queen, not only will we be saving all of Equestria, but we would also be saving a long forgotten princess ?“ Asked Rarity.

“For the last time, YES“ Twilight was exhausted.

“And just how did you acquire this knowledge ?“Asked Pinkie.“If I was Nightmare Moon, I would try my best to hide such information“.

“Well she did try her best I'll give her that. But besides being the highest ranking officer in her army,and having access to all information that resides in the Royal Library ? No one in Canterlot can keep a secret from me“. Proudly answered Twilight.

“Well then, what are we waiting for ?“ Asked Rarity impatient.“We should departure immediately“

“But with you gone who will be in charge ?“. Questioned Twilight. “I at least have many other officers who would be more than willing to replace me, if I was to go 'missing' in the forest for a few days“

“I am sure that Pinkie over here can handle the job“ Replied Rarity with a confident voice.“You seen how well of a leader she is. Besides, we will be gone just for a few days, what's the worst that could happen ?“ Rarity gave a small laugh at the idea that anything could go horribly wrong in such a short period of time.

“Me, leading the herd while you are gone ?“. Pinkie placed a hoof bellow her chin and thought for a moment, a very short moment before replying “I'll do it !!!“

“Well it's settled then. Twilight pack anything we'll need, and lead the way“. Commanded Rarity.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Somewhere deep in the Everfree Forest

Rarity and Twilight had done it, they finally found the Elements of Harmony. They had been stored on a large tower, inside the ruins of an old castle. It took them a week or so, they were both very tired, and very hungry.

Rarity smiled at Twilight “Well, now we can fight back. I can already taste victory“.

“Well I hope so...“ Twilight extended a hoof pointing towards Ponyville. “because by the looks of it, Pinkie has gone crazy“

Rarity's smiled faded once she saw the smoke coming from afar. She could hear the thunders and screams coming from the town, all the way from the ruins. She sighed “Maybe it wasn't such a really good idea to leave Pinkie in charge“

“You think ?“. Twilight picked up the elements, and placed them on her bag.“Come-on, I will teleport us back. I just hope we are not too late“.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sweet Apple Acres

“...And in her absence I shall lead, until her return“. Pinkie spoke to the crowd of ponies that had gathered in the barn. She wore the same uniform as the one Rarity had. “Are there any further questions ?“. Pinkie looked around, she spotted a raised hoof. “Yes, you in the back. what is it?“

“I am just wondering, what should we do ? I've been part of this group for a week already, and I we did was have parties“. Stated the stallion quizzically.

Pinkie thought for a moment, she recalled the map that Rarity was marking.“Wait here for a sec“. She made her way inside, took the map and returned. “Now you see these marked locations ? Well you should divide into groups and scout the areas. In a week we will all meet at Sugarcube Corner, where we will begin our attack ! “ She said with an exited smile. She didn't know what she was doing, but she felt it was the right thing to do.

“But why ?“ Asked the same stallion more confused then before.

“W-well, because....“ Pinkie looked around panicking, she had no idea of how to start a revolution, and what if rarity and Twilight don't return in time ? .

“Because destroying those locations will hinder the empire's influence over this village. Which in turn will be followed by a systematic up-rise, and over-throw, of the empire in neighboring cities. In a few years of civil war we shall be able to establish a new form of government, where each pony shall play a role in. Bringing down censorship laws, substituting the detention centers they call 'schools', with actual schools where both teacher and student shall be treated as equals; and try to achieve a higher level of education by questioning beliefs,morals,and magic“. Stated Fluttershy with her eyes closed and her muzzle held high, as if trying to imitate Rarity. She opened her bloodshot eyes only to see a room full of ponies with their mouths wide open. “Oh..“She blushed at the attention. “That is....I-if it's alright with you to destroy those locations and all....“ Her voice became quieter than a whisper, as she finished, looking at Pinkie who was still dumbfound.

“Oh, ok I can do that, if it means no school“. The stallion looked happy at the idea.

Wow that was close, I need to know how she does that, maybe she can even give me some tips Thought Pinkie looking at the shy pegasus. “Well then do you all understand ?“. Everypony nodded. “Good, so spread the word, we need as many ponies as we can !“ Finished Pinkie saluting her followers, the all saluted back.

Rainbow Dash made her way to the pink mare, they shared a passionate kiss for a moment. “That was a tough crowd huh ?“ Asked Rainbow awkwardly.

“Yep, if it wasn't for Fluttershy, our revolution could had fallen apart on the spot. I wonder how she does it“.Stated Pinkie with an intrigued tone, and a raised eyebrow.

“Oh, it must be all that zap-apple cider she drank before the meeting“ Replied Rainbow trying to hold on to her laugh. “I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that she actually thought she was Rarity for a moment“ She gave a small laugh. “That stuff will make a pony go crazy, I've heard that some even drink it with fire-ruby dust. I mean who would be so stupid to mixture does two !“ Rainbow was laughing out loud at the idea.

“I wounder if she could get me some ?“ Stated Pinkie in a serious tone, to nopony in particular.

“What ? Why would you even need that ? All it does is make you go crazy, you start to forget who you are, you die an empty shell of your formal self“ Stated Rainbow clearly worried about Pinkie.

“ Look, I have my reasons, now if you'd excuse me, I need to talk to Fluttershy “ Said Pinkie while walking away.

Rainbow Dash had a bad feeling about the situation, first it would be the zap-apple, then fire-rubies, and finally rainbow-juice-extract. The idea of Pinkie experimenting with those things made her feel uncomfortable.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sugarcube Corner, 1 week later

Pinkie had rearranged the mess in her room into a neat work of art. All of the broken bits and pieces of glass formed a type of frame around each unique specimen. Pictures scattered throughout the floor, broken pieces of furniture formed Xs everywhere. Fire-ruby dust was organized in neat rows,rotten half eaten zap-apples formed a smily face. Empty needles framed the picture of her and Dashie.

The empty shell of the former would-be leader of the revolution stood up. She looked down with distorted eyes, no emotion on her face. She made her way to the bathroom, she looked herself in the mirror. The reflection that stared back at her was that of a half-dead, pale, sick mare. She picked up a razor, she looked at the straight lines falling from her head. She started to shave. Cut after cut, after cut, her mane slowly fell into the sink, where it mixture with some blood from the mare's scalp.

She slowly made her way to her chair, she stared outside into the dark horizon. With nothing left to do in the physical world, she ventured into her own mind.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

???????????

She looked around, she wasn't in her room any longer. She had no belongings except for her comfy chair. She was young again, she was looking at her older self, she gave a pitiful glace at the wreck that still dared call herself a mare.

Wondering through the dessert that was her own mind, Pinkie found herself in the middle of a trench, she quickly made her way into a tunnel that was close by. Inside the tunnel became a hallway, with many classrooms left and right. She continued walking straight, she found herself in a large hospital wing, with many rows of beds spreading throughout. She continued to move forth, until she found the last door.

This door was not familiar to her, it was plain white, it had a small window with bars on the out side, like a prison cell. She opened it. A loud, scary, unnatural scream came from the inside. She turn to look at the source, there laying on the floor of the asylum was a pale pink, bold mare in a straight-jacket.Deciding that she had seem enough, Pinkie closed the door and ran away as fast as she could, not carrying where she went.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

???????????

Pinkie found herself once again next to the train tracks. But this time she could see a train station in the distance. She quickly made her way into the station's platform. Glancing around she noticed that the station was full of ponies, both young and old. Afar a train could be seen approaching, it was a military train full of soldiers.

Once the train stopped, hundreds upon hundreds of soldier ponies came out to find their loved ones. Pinkie could only stand and watch, as once again everyone was reunited, everyone except for her. Looking down at her hooves she began to cry quietly. A shadow felt upon her head, she looked up, a light-brown old stallion stood there in front of her with his back turned. She stared for a moment, before extending a hoof to poke the stallion.

Before she could touch him, a young filly jumped on the old stallion, who in turn looked back at the happy filly. Turned out the stallion was actually an unicorn, it was not her father. She felt stupid for thinking it could had been him.

Suddenly a group of military ponies playing drums came into view. Everypony stopped what they were doing, and turned to look at the marching band. All the ponies stood in attention, all except for Pinkie, they all began singing the national anthem of Equestria.

Once done, every soldier pony marched unto the horizon, everypony else just disappeared. Pinkie was left alone in the station to wonder. For the first time she was happy to be alone.

But the knocking, it didn't stop. knock, after knock after knock, Mrs.Cake was determined to get in. She called for Spike, Gilda, and anypony else who belonged to her group, for help. Something was wrong with Pinkie.

Comfortably Numb

Chapter 5: Comfortably Numb

Sugarcube Corner

Pinkie could not bear to hear the knocking any longer, yet she couldn't bring herself to do anything, but sit there, motionless. Her eyes were empty, her coat was a mess, her mane was nowhere to be found. There was no one home.

The door shredded into pieces under the powerful blow of the griffin. Gilda burst through the wooden barrier as if it was made of glass. She wasn't alone, with her came Spike, Mrs. Cake, Mr. Cake, Big Mac,Nurse Red-Hearth and Applejack. They all looked around the room, searching for the mare, until Spike pointed towards a chair in the end of the room. Nurse Red-Hearth was the first to run towards Pinkie, she got to her side and placed a hoof on her forehead

"Hello". Her voice echoed throughout Pinkie’s head.

"Is there anybody in there ?" This time the voice came from Spike, who proceeded to shake his hand in front of Pinkie’s face.

" Just nod if you can hear me" Nurse Red-Hearth spoke in a worried tone.

"Is there anyone at home ?" Spike mockingly stated.

"Come'on now, Ah hear you're feeling down" Applejack stood at the door, hesitant to approach the pink mare, who sat at the end of the room with her back turned.

"Well, I can easy your pain. Get you, on your hooves again" Said the nurse, pulling out a needle. Spike ,seeing the needle, became worried.

"Relax, I'll need some information first".She calmed the dragon. "Just the basic facts" She looked at Pinkie. "Can you show me where it hurts ?"

Inside her head Pinkie was a young filly once again, she walked through the rock farm, wondering around the borders of the property. Rocks spread throughout the horizon, thousands upon thousands of them. She could hear some vibration sound, like waves, in the distance. She ignored the noise.

At the room, Nurse Red-Hearth could see Pinkie's lips moving as if to form words, but nothing came out.

"What's that my dear ? Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying" Told the nurse.

Pinkamena stopped half-way through the fields, she looked down at the creature under her hooves. There looking back at her stood a small alligator. She picked him up with a hoof, the creature open its mouth and took a bite at her muzzle. It had no teeth, so it tickled the mare. Pinkie hugged the reptile and started crying. The alligator stared quizzically at the mare, Gummy, you know this is not how I am.

Pinkie made her way back home, she walked into the kitchen searching for some food for Gummy. Her mother, who was washing dishes, looked over at Pinkie. She could not believe what the young mare was carrying on her back, no child of hers would be the owner of an alligator. Pinkie had to run away from her house, once her mother began to scream at her, she had to save Gummy.

Pinkie quickly found a hiding place for her reptile friend, she placed him on the barn. Nothing would hurt him there. She coughed. Mother will kill me for being sick. Back on the room, her empty shell gave out a loud scream.

"O.K." Said Gilda calming herself down. "Just a little pinprick, what will that do ?"

"There'll be no more screams" Answered the nurse. "But she may feel a little sick"

"Can you stand up ?" Asked Big Mac, to the sitting mare.

"I do believe its working" Mr. Cake intervened.

"Good" Spike stated in relief while paying Mr. Cake for the property damage.

"That'll keep her going, through the show" Nurse Red-hearth was now somewhat relieved.

"Come on, it's time to go" Gilda was starting to lose her patience.

Back on her mind, Pinkie laid sick in bed. Doctor Muffin Tops analysed her, he looked back at her mother and gave her a disapproving nod. She let out a single tear, which ran down her face, and felt into Pinkie's bed. The doctor exited the room, followed by her mother. They conversed for a few more moments, before the doctor left the house. Pinkie knew that she had done it, her hooves felt like balloons, she felt numb, comfortably numb.

The next day, Pinkie woke up, she quickly left her bed in a mad dash towards the door. Pinkie passed her sisters, they gave her a curious glare. Pinkie ran as fast as her hooves could carry her, she did not care if somepony caught her off of bed. She had to feed Gummy, or else....I couldn't ever forgive myself if that happened to him.

Pinkie opened the barn, she found the pile of hay where she hid Gummy. She picked the alligator up, she was worried at first, he felt cold. Don't be silly Pinkie, reptiles are cold blooded creatures . He didn't move the slightest at her touch, Now, now, Pinkie let's not jump into conclusions. He's probably just sleepy, and hungry............and d-d-dead. She hugged him one last time, and cried, she cried like she had never cried before.

Big Mac carried Pinkie on his back, he carried her downstairs, and into the chariot. All of her friends who were present followed her into the chariot. Spike sat next to the pink mare, he saw the desire of life behind her eyes. The empty shell could feel her skin burn, melt, disfigure. The shell started to become a mixture of meat and clay, Pinkie, the real Pinkie ripped apart the impostor from within. Pinkie didn't want to live inside her head forever, she could not bear to watch herself become a worm. Pinkie, No Pinkamena was back, and she never felt better.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sweet Apple Acres

Pinkamena arrived at her destination, to where it all of this nightmare started, the barn. The chariot's doors opened, everypony proceeded to make their way inside. After all, they had to prepare their leader to lead them through a revolution. And their leader was a mess at the moment, she had to look presentable at the very least. Must the show go on ? She questioned herself.

Inside, Gilda brought Pinkie her uniform. "Get ready, you must look your best while giving your speech"

Do I have to stand up, wild-eyed in the spot-light, what a nightmare, why don't I turn and run ? A scarred voice spoke in the back of her head. She ignored it.

Pinkamena took the uniform from the griffin. She made her way into the changing room. Everypony sat and waited for their leader to emerge from the room, they all felt worried. But all of the worry melted away once the magnificent image of their leader emerge in full uniform.

There must be some mistake, I didn't mean to let them take away my soul, am I too old is it too late ? Again the weak voice spoke, and again Pinkamena paid no attention to it. She could show no weakness, she had to be strong, now more than ever she had to prove her worth.

She called her entourage, there was a party they had to attend to, and the party wouldn't start until her arrival. The show must go on.

Meeting

Pinkie arrived back at Sugarcube Corner, she was as ready as she ever would be. Her friends all wore the same uniform, even Gilda with a custom outfit. With a synchronize precision, they all made their way into the candy building. On their way, they were greeted by many other followers, all eager to hear their leader speak. Even young foals stood in full uniform in front of the building. Nothing could stop them now.

Once Pinkamena made her way outside the balcony, she looked down upon her followers. A sea of faces looked up, back at her. Hundreds upon hundreds of ponies stood in attention in front of the building. All fully uniformed, all cheering, all obedient. They looked ready to fight, ready to free themselves.

A band played outside, wow, they really out-did themselves on the execution, spotlights aimed at the pink mare. She stood proud for a moment, she saluted them all, she crossed her front hooves into an X. They all stumped their hooves in applause, then they all proceeded to salute her back.

"So ya thought ya might like to go to the show ? To feel the warmth and thrill of confusion ? Well I've got some bad news for you sunshine". She looked down at the members. " Pinkie isn't well, she stayed back at the hotel !"

" And they send us along as a surrogate band" She pointed at the band.

"And tonight we're going to find out where you members, really stand !!!' She shouted. Everypony cheered.

"Are there any Royal Guards in here tonight ?" The spot-lights searched high and low, stopping at certain ponies in uniform.

"Get'em up against the wall !!!" She commanded, those ponies caught in the spotlight soon ran away before any harm could be done.

"Now that one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me !" She pointed at a brown eath-stallion with an hourglass cutie mark.

"Get him up against the wall !" The stallion disappeared from view, some ponies thought they saw him jumping into a blue police box, but quickly dismissed the idea.

"That one looks like a zebra ! And that one is covered in jelly ! Who let this riff-raff into town !?"

"That one has zap-apple cider ! And that one has no cutie mark ! If I had my way I'd have you all banished to the moon !!!"

She ended her rant, saluted them once more, and left. Applause could be heard from miles away. They finally were ready.

"Pinkie! Pinkie ! Pinkie ! Pinkie ! Pinkie !" they shouted as she left. It was time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Revolution

Pinkamena gave the signal, her entourage made their way down the streets with her. Outside she looked at the mob, "You better make your face up in your favorite disguise ! With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes !". She thought she saw a rainbow maned pegasus somewhere, she quickly threw away that idea. She pointed towards their first target. "It is time, don't disappoint me now, go ! Run like hell !!!"

The mob dispersed into the village, some carried torches, others used lightning or magic. They all ran to different targets, they started to break and burn down anything in their paths. They started their revolution.

Canterlot Royal Palace

Twilight's substitute saluted the rest of the guards, they had all lined up in the courtyard. He inspected every single one of them, they had to show the protesters just who they were dealing with. They could not fail, or else other cities could soon follow the revolution.

"All of you are about to achieve the greatest job of your pitiful lives !". He walked back and forth through the ranks. "Just there in Ponyville the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearths with icy hooves" He pointed towards Ponyville, which now had a few buildings on fire.

" The enemy outnumber us a party three to one, good odds for a guard" He gave a small laugh.

"Give thanks, men, to out queen Nightmare Moon ! To victory !!!" He yelled as he took to the skies, three hundred guards at his back. They flew like hell, as fast as their wings could carry them.

At their arrival, all they saw was pure chaos, ponies everywhere just running, screaming, fighting.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ponyville

Pinkie was helping a group of ponies burn down the school, she could feel all the bad memories going away with the building, They cannot reach me now.The smoke flew high into the skies, leaving a black trail in a darken skies. Yet something felt wrong, she could feel a disturbance incoming. She looked back at the town center, then she saw it. An army of Royal Guards arriving, they quickly started to attack her followers. She wouldn't allow that to happen.

She had to keep them safe, she had to be their wall. Isolating them from danger, she commanded the members to regroup.

But, before anypony could act, a big bright flash of light appeared out of thin air right behind the guards. Once it became safe to look, Pinkamena saw what had caused the disturbance. There behind the guards stood Nightmare Moon herself, and she didn't look happy. With a thunderous voice, that shook the earth, she spoke.

"I've been waiting, to cut down the Everfree. I've been waiting, to clean up this city". She gave a malevolent laugh as lightning rained down from the darkened skies.

"I've been waiting, to weed out the weaklings. I've been waiting, to smash in their windows...and kick in their doors !". She easily took down a group of rebels who were foolish enough to try and attack the queen. She displayed her god-like powers proudly, she held nothing back.

Pinkamena saw the hope in many of her followers' eyes fade at the display of power. But she had worked far to hard to give up now. She picked up a bottle and threw it at the guards, the mob followed close behind. It was now a full on war. Guards and ponies collided in the town center, many guards started to take in prisoners. Chariots upon chariots became full as the guards arrested the mob.

Pinkamena couldn't stand and watch, she made her way to the balcony once more, in the hopes of encouraging her herd. She gave her speech once again, but this time there were less applause, less obedience, less hope.

She searched the battlefield for her friends, she could see a cyan pegasus,beaten in the head, being dragged to a prison chariot. She watched in terror as a dozen guards worked together to stop a rampaging red stallion. She could see a yellow pegasus trying to break free of her cage. She could see unicorn guards subduing a griffin, under their powerful magic. She watched as an orange mare and a baby dragon, both were cornered by a group of guards. Could it be ? Is there really no hop- that's when she saw the flash of purple light just outside the edge of the forest. The show wasn't over just yet.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope

Pinkie made her way down the building, and out into the streets. She stood in the town center, most of the protesters had been subdued by the guards. She searched for anyone who could help her in the middle of all the chaos. She needed to buy her friends some time.

"Hey you ! Out there in the cold, getting lonely getting old, can you feel me ?" She asked to nopony in particular.

"Hey you ! standing in the isles with itchy feet, and fadding smiles, can you feel me ?" She got no response

"Hey you ! dont help them to bury the live !" She told a Royal Guard who was dragging a mare into one of the prison chariots

"Don't give in without a fight !" She yelled at everypony, trying to regain hope.

Nightmare Moon notice her giving out orders, she knew now just who to blame.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twilight and Rarity both arrived just outside of Ponyville, to their luck, most guards were too busy arresting ponies in the town center to even notice. Rarity couldn't believe that her revolution was happening, without her.

"Come on, we got to free the arrested ponies !" Twilight call out to her friends as she galloped to the nearest chariot.

"But they are magically locked, how do we open them?" Asked the white unicorn.

"With out magic, duh?" Twilight answer sarcastically while opening the cell on wheels. Rarity gave her a stare, before continuing on to the next chariot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rainbow Dash stood inside the cell next to the rest of the prisoners, she only recognized Fluttershy out of all others. Fluttershy was still trying to free herself, she bucked, she lock-picked, she tried everything she could.

"Hey Shy, what're you doing ?" Asked Rainbow surprised at the mare's action.

"Trying to free myself, what do you think ?" She spoke with an angry tone.

"Why ? It's hopeless don't you see ?" Rainbow looked down.

"Rainbow Dash, never talk speak of hopelessness, as long as you can still breath" The yellow pegasus tried to motivate her friend. It worked, Rainbow felt as if she had to break free immediately. With their combined effort, they broke through the magic barrier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Applejack and spike where thrown into the same cell as Big Mac and Gilda. It took them little effort to break free.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey you ! Out there on the road, always doing what you're told. Can you help me !?" Pinkamena asked one of the last members that was still free. Re decline the request.

"Hey you ! Out there beyond the wall, breaking bottles in the hall. Can you help me !?" No answer came.

"Its hopeless you foal !!!" Yelled Nightmare Moon.

"Hey you ! Don't tell me there's no hope at all !!!" She screamed right back at her.

"Together we stand ! Divided we fall !" As if on cue, there standing behind her in a semi-circle were her friends.

"What is this ?" She spoke in a mocking tone. "An insane earth pony, being followed by a group of the biggest excuse of life I have ever laid my eyes upon, what do you plan to do ?".She approached the group. "Make me die of laughter ?". She gave a mocking laugh.

"I am disappointed in you Twilight Sparkles" She glared daggers at the lavender traitor. "Not the fact that you turned against me, I mean, that was too obvious" She could feel the elements inside the bag. "But the fact that you thought you could defeat me !" She summoned a bolt of lighting to strike down the elements.

Noticing what Nightmare Moon was aiming at, Twilight quickly put up a barrier to protect herself, and her friends. She emptied the elements onto the floor, they were no longer orbs, instead they were now necklaces. Each necklace bared the mark of each one of them, except for Twilight, who got a tiara.

"Look girls, I don't have much time to explain, but you all need to put these on". She commanded them, placing a collar around each one of the mares.

"Now Twilight, whats the big deal about these ?" Asked Rainbow.

"Well, you see the elem--" A bolt of lightning broke through the barrier,and stroke the ground near her. This was no time to talk, it was time to act.

"Look, just trust me. We all have to be in harmony" She quickly said.

"Wat do ya mean' harmony ?"Applejack asked.

"Apologize to one another, we need to stick together !" Twilight was panicking as her barrier faded.

Rainbow Dash looked at Applejack, then to the pink mare, she sighed, it was going to be hard.

"Pinkie ? Look, I am sorry for cheating on you. It's just, well, you haven't been yourself lately. I felt really worried, but once you began experimenting more often, I just. I couldn't bare to see you like that !" Rainbow explained, with tears in her eyes.

"And I'm sorry for accepting into Rainbow's temptation" Spoke Applejack.

"And I for providing you with the means to feel better" Stated Fluttershy feeling shameful.

"And I'm sorry for leaving you in-charge with no instructions" Quickly said Rarity, as Twilight's barrier was shredded.

They would all stand at the mercy of Nightmare Moon if the elements didn't work.

"Oh girls, stop being silly fillies. I'm the one who should apologize for being gone for so long" She laughed childishly. Out of nowhere, Pinkie's mane grew back in a flash, as curly and fluffy as ever. She truly was representing her element, laughing in the face of danger.

"You foals, I shall banish you all to the Sun !" Nightmare Moon spoke annoyed.

"We will see who banishes who, Princess" Twilight spoke defiantly.

Nightmare Moon used all of her power to create a powerful beam of energy. She aimed the destructive magic right at the group of mares.

The Elements of Harmony used their powers to counter the beam. It was a stalemate, both rays met creating a large white ball of energy in the middle. On lookers had to cover their eyes at the sight.

When suddenly the ball of energy exploded, consuming both the elements, and Nightmare Moon in a huge white sphere.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

???????????

Pinkie opened her eyes, she wasn't in Ponyville anymore, she sat by an infinite wall. It spread from one side of the horizon, to the next.

" STOP !!!"

"I wanna go home ! Take off this uniform, and leave the show ! And I'm waiting in this cell, because I have to know ! Have I been guilty all this time !!!?" Her words echoed throughout the void.

It was time for her trial.

The Trial

Chapter 6: The Trial

The wall opened in front of Pinkie, she walked through the hole, and into a stage. She could see shapes that resembled her friends, sitting outside the stage, next to a throne. A figure suddenly formed into shape on top of the throne, it was a draconequus, somehow he looked familiar to the pink mare.

Nightmare Moon finished putting on her make-up, she walked into the stage and bowed down towards the creature.

"Good morning, Worm your honor. The crowd will plainly show the prisoner, who now stands before you, was caught red-hoof showing feelings. Showing feelings of almost pony nature; This will not do." She flew above the wall.

"Call the schoolmaster !!!" from atop the wall.

Mrs.Cheerilee appear from above the wall, she was attached to strings, much like a puppet.

"I always said she'd come to no good in the end your honor. If they'd let me have my way I could have flayed her into shape. But my hooves were tied, the bleeding hearts and artists let her get away with murder ! Let me hammer her today ?"

Her empty shell could be seen on the spotlight. As Pinkie stared into the two black empty voids of her former self, she could hear a chanting.

"Crazy. Toys in the attic I am crazy, truly gone fishing. They must have taken my marbles away !"

A group of recognizable voices continued the chant,"Crazy, toys in the attic, she is crazy"

Pinkie could see a small stream of rainbow color mane coming off the wall. The colored strings soon turned into the cyan pegasus that she knew and loved. Except she looked grayer, as if she lost some of her color.

"You little shit ! you're in it now, I hope they trow away the key ! You should have talked to me more often than you did, but no ! You had to go your own way, have you broken any homes up lately ? Just five minutes, Worm your honor, her and I, alone".She finished asking the judge for his permission. Before he could answer a scream came from the wall.

"Baaaaaaabe!!!" yelled Pinkie's mother, as fell from the wall, and threw herself into her daughter.

"Come to mother baby, let me hold you in my arms. M'lud I never wanted her to get into any trouble. Why'd she ever have to leave me ? Worm, your honor, let me take her home" She disappeared, leaving behind a wall.

Once again she heard the chanting in her head.

"Crazy. Over the rainbow, I am crazy, bars in the window. There must had been a door there on the wall when I came in !" Soon followed by the voices.

"Crazy. over the rainbow she is crazy"

The draconequus stood up, he grew in size by the second. Soon he over-towered them all. He looked down upon the pink mare.

"The evidence before this court is incontrovertible, there's no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before, of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law ! The way you made them suffer, your exquisite wife and mother, fills me with the urge to defecate !'

Pinkie was cornered, the walls began to close in around her, as the judge approached overhead.

'Since, my friend, you have revealed you deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before your peers. Tear down the wall !!!' As he finished with his sentence, the walls all around Pinkie came crumbling down. Brick by brick fell as the ground shook. Pinkie felt as if she was naked, which she technically was, but this felt different. It felt as if she had no privacy, there was nothing to hide anymore. She felt somewhat relieved, she looked at the bright light coming from the horizon.

She was ready to explore what laid beyond the wall.

Epilogue - Outside The Wall

Author's note:

Ok guys quick message from me. THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT WANT ME TO FINISH THIS STORY. No really, I just got back from a long trip (not that kind of trip) 12 hours on a plane, I arrived back home and started to rewrite the epilogue. I kept saving after every few lines, just to be sure it would not be erased once again. There was a thunderstorm, and so my power was out for the entire day. But I kept going and now you (yes all 5 or so that actually read this XD. man do I love you guys) get to enjoy the better version of this chapter, except for the dialogue, I think that it was much better in the previous version (still good enough for my taste). I will also 'redux' previous chapters that I think need improvements. And I just found out that someone made a music video for The Wall with ponies . Now then lets finish this, once and for all. FOREVER. (until I make a sequel)

Epilogue: Outside The Wall

Ponyville.

Pinkie, Pinkamena, the pink mare, whatever they wished to call her now, stood at the town center, where the explosion took place. She looked around to find a strange scene, Royal Guards helped the injured to the hospitals, instead of throwing them into dungeons. The protesters started to pick up brick by brick, they help to clean up the city, they started to rebuild. There was no Nightmare Moon to be found, instead two alicorns mares, both the same size, stood in front of them, a midnight blue, and a pure white. The ones she called friends stood next to her, they would help her in this brave new world.

The midnight blue alicorn, with a cosmic mane, approach the group. "Thank you. You have all saved me, and my sister. For one thousand years have I been mad, and my sister was kept imprisoned on the sun". She looked ashamed, and spoke in a guilty tone.

"Speak nothing of it, dear sister. Instead let's make merry, tis' a moment of celebration, for many centuries we waited to be reunited with thee" The white alicorn hugged her sister, Pinkie noticed that the alicorn with pink hair spoke in old Equestrian.

"Oh Celestia, how have I missed you !" She buried her face in the white mare's coat.

Pinkie and her friends all started to sob at the scene, it was an emotional moment they didn't expect to witness. For a moment everything went quiet, there was peace and tranquility. That touching moment was ruined was Rainbow Dash broke the silence.

"Huh ? What !?"She asked skeptically.

"Yes, I think we need to explain to you, just how important your roles were, in bringing about a bright future to all of Equestria" Said the dark alicorn.

"You see, it was long ago, one thousand years to be exact, when I became jealous of my sister. We had ruled Equestria for many years as equals, prior to the day in which I revolted against her. It all happened one day, when I noticed that our subjects appreciated my sister's day, rather than my beautiful night. I foolishly allowed my feelings to get the better of me, they corrupted me and transformed me into the tyrant, Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon fought against my sister, who stood bravely against the demon, but the Nightmare was cunning. She knew of the elements of harmony, and how they could be used to assist my sister to defeat her. So she hid them away in the Everfree Forest, where they stayed dormant for centuries, until you found them ".

The Alicorn paused so that the information could sink in. Rainbow, Applejack, and Fluttershy all gasped simultaneously. Rarity, Twilight, and Pinkie already knew this information a week prior.

"If you are not Nightmare Moon, then what should we call you ? Both of you that is". Curiously asked Rarity.

"You may call me Luna, Princess Luna, for that was my name prior to Nightmare Moon". Rarity wasn't too happy with Luna's placing of royal titles before her name, for all she knew Luna could very well be worse than their previous queen.

"AND WE ARE PRINCESS CELESTIA, USHER OF DAY, AND CO-RULER OF EQUESTRIA. IT BRINGS US JOY TO MEET THEE, MY SAVIORS" The bearers of the elements were all knocked back a few steps from the pure intensity of Celestia's voice. The voice was powerful, but it was also nurturing and warm, like that of a mother.

"W-what was that !?" Asked a confused and irritated cyan pegasus.

"That was the old Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice. I apologize if my sister's behavior seems....'odd'. In her defense, she was banished for hundreds of years, she does not know of modern customs"

Celestia looked both embarrassed and sad. It was a look of someone who was robbed of many years, and had missed the chance of having many great experiences, and memories.

"WE..N-no, I apologize for the misunderstanding. As my sister stated, it has been long since We,-I mean, I conversed with our subjects". Celestia looked down at her hooves, disappointed at herself.

"Ah shoot, princess there ain't no need for apology, you're only returned from centuries of banishment. Ah'm sure any of'us would've done the same in ya place". Applejack tried to console the ancient being.

"Well now that you have both returned, what happens to us, to all of us" Asked Pinkie, scared of the future.

"That is something we must address to all citizens".Luna turned and started to make her way to the balcony of Sugarcube Corner." Celestia if you please, follow me"

All of the citizens of Ponyville gathered on the town center, where moments earlier a revolution took place, all eyes were watching the two regal alicorns. Luna approached the railing, she looked over her beloved subjects one last time before speaking.

"GREETINGS MY LITTLE PONIES, IT HAS BEEN LONG SINCE I SEEM YOU THROUGH THIS EYES. BUT THANKS TO THIS SIX MARES" Luna motioned towards the mane six. "I'M NO LONGER NIGHTMARE MOON. MOREOVER THEY ALSO FREED MY SISTER, PRINCESS CELESTIA, WHO BEFORE HER BANISHMENT, WAS THE BRINGER OF DAY. WITH HER HELP, WE WILL DO ALL IN OUR POWERS TO BRING FORTH AN AGE OF PEACE AND HARMONY. NO LONGER SHALL YOU FEAR YOUR RULER, NO LONGER SHALL YOU BE MIND-WASH BY PROPAGANDA, YOU ALL SHALL ENJOY FREEDOM. I SHALL BEGING, THESE CHANGES FOR THE BETTER, HERE IN PONYVILLE". Luna was eager to make-up for her former rulership. All ponies cheered, they seemed eager to welcome their new rulers.

"NOW, LET US MAKE MERRY AND CELEBRATE IN WHAT YOU CALL A...P-PARTY ?" Celestia had a hard time grasping the concept of such event.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before you anypony could say 'wow, that was a bunch of worthless exposition', a well organized festivity was already at full swing. The party had been going great, everypony and every guard were celebrating the new era. The captain of the Royal Guard was playing 'put the tail in the pony', Big Mac was providing apple cider for the citizens, even Gilda seemed to be having a great time. It was truly a party to put every other party to shame, then why am I not enjoying it ? thought Pinkie glaring around.

She was surrounded by a sea of happy faces, everypony seemed to be enjoying themselves, no one cared about their past nor their future. Even her friends seemed happy, many celebrated the welcome change of leaders, they were finally at peace. Then why wasn't she happy as well ? why did she felt something was wrong ? Why do I feel like I been here before ?, Why is this all so familiar ?

Her feelings of deja vu peaked once two young pegasi flew up to the balcony, and placed a rose necklace in both of the princesses' necks. She could not take it anymore, she had to have a moment alone, she needed to get away from the party, she felt every fiber in her body wanting to just run as far away from there as possible. And so she did, she ran as fast as she could. Her friends took notice of her suspicious actions, Rainbow Dash was the first to follow Pinkie, the rest followed soon after.

Pinkie closed her eyes, she had to run back to somewhere she didn't know, yet it felt familiar. She allowed her senses to guide her, she did not care where they took her to, she only knew that she needed to get there.

She opened her eyes for a moment, she was crossing through the Everfree Forest, following the train-tracks once again. She closed her eyes and ran faster, she could hear on the back of her head, whispers from her friends. They were close behind the pink mare, calling out her name, and questioning what was wrong, all to no avail.

Pinkie suddenly stopped dead on her tracks, she felt a cold wind blowing on the back of her neck. She had arrived on her destination.

She opened her eyes one last time, just to see if she recognized any of her surroundings.

There she was, back where it all started, she was back home, back on the rock fields. Pinkie stood in the edge of a cliff, looking down at the farm where she grew in. The sun rested on the horizon, a shinning beacon of warmth and comfort. Yet she felt cold in contrast, she could only watch as the light drew closer, it wasn't a sun. Pinkie turned to look back on the world one final time, only then did she notice her friends yelling at her.

"Pinkie what's wrong with you !?" Asked a worried cyan pegasus. "Why did you have to run ? Why did you leave us without saying goodbye ? Why didn't you stop to tell us what was bothering you ?" She allowed tears to dribble down her face.

"Yes Pinkie, tell us. What is bothering you ? You been acting strangely lately" Rarity quizzically looked at her friend.

"Well girls, I have been getting these strange feeling of deja vu lately, and I think I finally understand what was happening !" Pinkie was crying, yet she had a large smile on her face, and her mane was still as fluffy as ever.

"Then tell us what's happening ! We are worried don't you see ? What do you finally understand ?" Twilight was panicking at the way Pinkie was dealing with the situation.

Pinkie saw the light approaching closer, and closer. She knew what it was, she only did not understand why. Why now, why did it take so long !!? This cannot be, how ? But it.....it felt so......real

"Please, try to understand, I must leave you all behind, the show is over, the actors must leave the stage ! There is nothing you can do, it's too late". With that she took a step forward, and allowed gravity to do its job. "I.....I just wished we had more time..." she whispered to herself, as tears fell upwards through her mane, and into the sky.

"NO !" all of her friends yelled, paralyzed by pure shock, as the pink dot plummeted. Dash threw herself right behind Pinkie, she dove down the cliff as fast as she could, only to see the pink dot hit the ground as hard as a brick. She stood there, midair close to the ground, shocked at what had just happened. Tears plummeted to the ground bellow, as the cyan pegasus started to make her way back up the cliff, looking down, she could not bare to see the corpse. She hated to be the one to tell her friends, she hated Pinkie for taking the easy way out, but she hated herself the most for not being able of stop her.

Wait.....there is something wrong....could it..... no, it can't be....is it ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you think that......I mean did she.....catch her in t-time?" Fluttershy was worried about both of her friends.

"Ah am sure she did sugarcube. You know how fast Dash is, should be not hard at all" Applejack tried to comfort her friends, even though deep inside she was also worried.

Dash suddenly appeared from the cliff, she had a sad look on her face, and carried a pair of dog-tags on her front hoof. She slowly flew closer to her friends, she kept trying to look away, so that the tears on her eyes couldn't be seem. Now came the hardest part, she had to tell them. Even if she did not understand Pinkie's actions, she could feel that she was in a better place.

"Dash....did she ?....I mean did you ?.......catch her ?" Twilight already knew the answer to her question, but she didn't want to believe it was true.

"NO...."She answer morbidly, she looked angry, but her voice showed no emotion. "She's gone" Dash almost whispered.

The cyan pegasus had to look down at the ground, she could not bare to see the looks on their faces, she sobbed a little.

Everything was quiet for a moment, only the sound of crying could be heard. Once everypony ran out of tears, Dash started to make her way back to Ponyville, soon the others followed. Their mods brighten as they arrived, they were greeted as heroes, another party was thrown just for them. Yet Rainbow did not care, she needed a moment alone. Soon after the party, both princesses left to take care of their royal business, Ponyville had already improved greatly.

It took Luna and Celestia about an year to finish the reforms. Once all of the old rules were replaced by the new ones, and peace was made with the Griffin Nations, both princesses still needed to form their courts. They still needed to raise the sun and the moon, and they needed to take care of the other royals. But after everything was set and done, it was time for relaxation. They usually visited the elements in Ponyville, they would hang out as if equals, they had fun together.

A year prior, Rainbow Dash didn't know what to do after Pinkie's disappearance, but after thinking about it, the only reasonable thing to do was to have fun. After all that is what she would've wanted of her to do, to have a future, to do and see all things, to live a fulfilling life, the show had to go on.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rock Farm Cliff, seconds after Pinkie jumped.

"NO!!!" Pinkie heard her friends cry out as she fell, she held back a laugh silly fillies, they should know I'm a prankster.

Pinkie was plummeting to the ground, that is until a yellow light caught her, she turned to look back at the cliff-face. There flying behind her was Princess Celestia, her horn glowed as her magic caught the falling mare.

"Pinkie it's time to come back" She said in a motherly tone, a warm feeling grew inside Pinkie, she knew she had to leave, she just wished she could've said goodbye.

"Princess can you summon me a strawberry cake ? please" Pinkie asked with a hoof under her chin, yes that will do.

"And why do you need such a thing ? Are you hungry ?" Celestia was puzzled by the request, but she was more surprised by the calmness in the pink mare's voice. Does she know ?, can she remember ?.

"Does it really matter ? Look princess, I am sorry if I'm not making sense right now. But please can you give me a cake ? We don't have much time"

"Here you go" She summoned a large strawberry cake.

"Excellent, now for the next step.." Pinkie threw the cake downwards.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It took but a second or two for it to splash on the ground bellow, red and pink colored the ground bellow. A flash of blue tried to catch up to the pink object, the cyan pegasus stopped once she saw the pink dot splash on the ground bellow. She started crying in midair, she turn to fly back up the cliff. Only then did the pegasus look back at the corpse bellow, it was a blur of pink and red, yet its shape was too splattered to be that of a pony. wait a second, that's not right. It doesn't look like a splattered body, that looks like..... frosting !?

She slowly flew down to the ground, she inspected the mess before landing, as if she was suspicious of something. Rainbow Dash knew that something was wrong. She scooped some of the red residue with a hoof and placed it on her tongue. Strawberry, I knew it !. She looked at the chunks of pink colored cake on the ground.

A cake, oh Pinkie you are good, just as I thought.....but then, where is she ?

Rainbow Dash could feel something tapping her back, she turned to look, only to find a strange sight.

Pinkie.

She stood next to a large white alicorn with multiple colors on her mane, unlike Rainbow's mane, the alicorn's had a water-color look that cascaded over one eye. The cyan pegasus could not comprehend what was happening, who was the strange mare, why did Pinkie fake her death. How is she alive ?

"Sorry Dashie, I just needed to tie every lose end, I must go now. This is Princess Celestia, my Princess Celstia, and she is here to take me home" Pinkie bore a sympathetic look, a look of appreciation for what her friends did for her.

"But this IS your home. You can't leave us now, we just freed Equestria, isn't that what you always wanted ?" Skeptical, angry, confused, the cyan pegasus couldn't decide which feeling to choose from, so she used all at once.

"It is, but it isn't. You must understand, I don't belong here, I never did". She gave the pegasus a hug, then a kiss, finally she gave her a pair of dog-tags. "Here, keep this as a souvenir, remember to never give in without a fight !". She walked next to the white mare."And Rainbow, take care of Applejack" She smiled, Celestia whispered something to Pinkie, then with a flash of light, they were gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright Pinkie, its time to go" Said Celestia. "You had your fun already" she looked at the falling cake.

"Wait for it"

Before Celestia could question the pink mare, a blue blur flashed passed them in the hopes of catching the falling cake.

"I knew Dashie wouldn't let me fall" Pinkie smiled at the display of loyalty from her friend.

"Yes, that was nice of her. But we have more pressing business to attend, after all I can only stay here for so long". Celestia insisted.

"Please, just let me say goodbye. I want to tie every lose end. I can't bare to leave like this" Pinkie was down on her back knees begging the princess.

"Alright, I guess you can explain it to her, since it seems she already noticed it" Celestia motioned towards the cyan pegasus, who was now licking her strawberry covered hoof.

Pinkie approached her from behind. She tapped the pegasus on the back, to get her attention. After some explanation, Pinkie gave Dash her dog-tags, and walked next to the princess. It was time.

"Now then Pinkie, close your eyes" Celestia ordered.

"Why ?"

"Because, you can't wake up if you never went to sleep, you silly filly" She gave a small laugh.

Pinkie closed her eyes, Celestia horn glowed, there was a flash.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Her eyes opened, she was greeted by a blur of lights, as her eyes adjusted she started to recognize her surroundings. She was laying in a hospital bed, the same hospital in which Rainbow Dash had stayed once some months prior for an aerial maneuver accident. Maybe it was even the same bed, since the same full-body cast patient, was laying in the bed next to her. She couldn't believe what was happening to her, was it all a dream after all ? But it felt so.....real. Her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened.

The nurse stood in shock at the door frame, she did not expect Pinkie to have recovered so quickly. She slowly turned around, closed the door behind her, and ran down the hall to inform the doctor. Pinkie became dizzy with the noise from the door slamming shut, she felt that her head was about to explode from the noise. Only then did she notice that her head was covered in bandages, and that she was wearing a cast in her front right hoof.

The door opened once more, this time the caramel colored doctor slowly walked in, he was followed by the nurse that had ran away moments prior. The doctor carried a clipboard with him, he inspected Pinkie, checking off things in his clipboard. He took a close look into her eyes, he stuck a thermometer on her mouth, he even listen to her hearth beats through a stethoscope. He only started to speak with her, once every examination was completed.

"So, Pinkie Pie is it ?" The doctor was still writing things down.

"Y-yes, that is my name" She was excited to remember her name, she had been refer to only as Pinkie or Pinkamena for the last few weeks. Were they really weeks ? Or were they only days, or hours ?

"Well Pinkie, I got to be honest here. You are very lucky to still be alive, if your friends had brought you here just a few minutes later, you wouldn't had made it". He spoke in a serious tone, his face showed no real emotion towards the patient, yet Pinkie could fell that he was somewhat worried about her well being.

"W-what happened ?" Pinkie asked while holding her head with her left hoof.

"*heavy sigh* About two weeks ago, you and your friend Rainbow Dash, were watching a marathon of movies while drinking Zap-Apple Cider". He looked her in the eyes, he showed disappointment in his expression. "Now, I expected better things from two of the six elements". He shook his head. "Well moving on, according to your friend, you were going down stairs to get more cider from the refrigerator. When you tripped and fell, you hit your head on the railing, and broke your hoof with the impacts from the fall".

"Oh, that explains the bandages....So this happened about two weeks ago correct ?"

"Yes, your friend was lucky, she only needed to stay here for a few days. She is very resilient" He gave a small laugh.

About two weeks, then it could't be just a dream, it all happened in real time.... Only then did she paid attention the other news from the doctor.

"Wait, what happened to Rainbow Dash ? Why was she in hospital for a few days ?"

"Oh it was nothing, she was tired of waiting for you to bring the cider, so she tried to go down stairs to get it herself. When she saw you laying in the bottom of the stairs, she tried to fly down and help you. But on her way down, she had a wing-cramp, so she felt down the same flight of stairs. She was knocked-out by the fall, but only dislocated her wing, it wasn't thatserious of an injury really".

"But if Dash was unconscious as well, then who brought us to the hospital ?"

"Well the Cakes of corse. They dismissed the sound of your accident, as they though 'Oh it's just Pinkie, being Pinkie'. But when they heard another set of crashing sound, they made their way to see what was going on. That is when they found both of you laying on the ground in front of the stairs, they really were worried about you, you know ?". The doctor's last statement was more of a rhetorical question.

"Yes I know, and I am truly lucky to have them as friends" Pinkie felt confronting to know that the Cakes worried about her.

"Now then, I will leave you to rest a little, your friends will be more than happy to know you awoken" The doctor left the room.

1 hour later

Pinkie was now well rested, she had remember all that had transpired before the accident. She remember the 'Classical Musical Films Marathon', and how she left to get more cider once 'Pink Floyd: The Wall' was over. Now I remember why it was all too familiar. I guess I had to create an ending to the story using my memories. She sighed, it was all so real, yet she knew it was just a creation of her subconscious.

The door opened to reveal the princess, followed by the mane six. They were all worried, but the cyan pegasus looked scared to confront her friend, she looked as if she felt guilty.

"Pinkie you're awake, oh how wonderful !" Said an excited yellow pegasus.

"My dear, you had us all worried for weeks, don't you ever do that again" Said a teary-eye Rarity.

"Rarity it was not her fault that she ended up in a coma for so long, it was mine " Rainbow looked down at the floor to prevent eye contact with the pink mare.

"Now, now, Rainbow it wasn't ya fault. Ya both had it comin' after tryin' Zap-Apple Cider. Ah told ya it was too strong for ya" She looked angry at herself for selling the delicacy to her friends, knowing nothing good could come of it.

"I think we need to let Pinkie speak, after all she must have a lot of questions" Twilight smiled to her hospitalized friend.

"Well, I do remember what happened, if that's what you mean. But I do have some questions".She placed a hoof under her chin. "Why is the princess here ? I remember seeing her in my dreams, but that was a coincidence right ?" She looked at Celestia for an answer.

"My dear Pinkie, that was no coincidence. I did come here yesterday to try to wake you up, all I did was cast a simple 'awake' spell nothing more". She smiled at the mare.

"Yesterday ? But it felt as if you did it a few hours ago !"

"Well time flies when you dream" She said with a mischievous smile.

"So it was all just a dream ? But it couldn't be...it felt so real !"

"But it was just a dream Pinkie, what did you think was happening ? You were unconscious for weeks !" Twilight did not understand Pinkie's rejection of reality.

"Girls I think it's best if you all wait outside for a moment, I need to speak with Pinkie alone". Celestia spoke with a commanding voice, yet it was calm and warm.

All of her friends left the room, Pinkie was ready to hear what the princess had to say, it must had been important for her to demand to be alone. Celestia casted a deaf spell on the colt who laid in the bed next to her, his full-body cast glowed yellow.

"Pinkie, what do you know about Zap-Apples ?"

"Well, they taste delicious, if that's what your asking" She smiled at the princess, who looked unamused by the joke.

"No Pinkie, I meant the magical properties it has" Pinkie looked puzzled, noticing that the mare didn't know anything about the delicacy, Celestia continued. "Zap-Apples are special not only because of their flavor Pinkie, they are magical items. They were used long ago by great magicians who wanted to explore alternate dimensions".

"And what does that have to do with me ?"

"You are right Pinkie, it wasn't a dream. What you experience was a look into an alternate reality".

"So it was all true ?....But why was it so conveniently similar to the movie I watched before the accident ?" Pinkie wanted, but couldn't, believe the princess.

"Pinkie, reality is stranger than fiction. It could've been a coincidence, or maybe your unconscious decided to go somewhere familiar. What matters is that now your back, toour reality". Celestia smiled.

"Wait....could I've ended up stranded in that reality if it weren't for you ?" Pinkie was scared at the idea of living in a dream, more like nightmare.

"Yes, that was a possibility, but thankfully I was able to insert myself into that reality long enough to rescue you". Celestia felt pride. "Now I know it might be asking too much, but please do not tell anyone of your experiences. Last thing I need is to have thousands of ponies all over Equestria experiencing comas to explore new realities. Trust me what you experience was very dangerous, and I don't want to put my little ponies in danger". Celestia spoke with a more commanding voice.

"Okey Dokey Lokey Princess" She grin, at least she needn't worry about her sanity any longer.

"Good, well then I guess that takes care of that. Convincing Rainbow Dash was much harder" She gave another mischievous smile.

"Wait....did Dashie experienced the same thing as me ?" Pinkie blushed.

"Oh my dear, I don't want to spoil the surprise. Why don't you ask her ? Once you leave the hospital that is" Celestia turned and left the room.

"Wait Princess, please tell me....You forgot to undo the deaf spel--" The door closed. Pinkie frowned, she had to know.

I wonder if Dashie had the same dream as me... Did she experience our love ?....oh don't be silly, that wasn't really her She thought of how the real Rainbow would react in those situations, it made her giggle a little. I still have to know what she dreamed about....maybe it was less serious, maybe it was all silly and cutesy wootsy It was becoming harder for her to hold back a laugh, knowing Dashie, that would probably had been a nightmare for her.

Pinkie wondered for a moment, before going to sleep, after all it had been an exhausting experience for her. In the morning she would leave the hospital, and then she would question Rainbow Dash. In all due time. Meanwhile her roommate wondered if he would ever recover his hearing.
