Rainbow Dash is not Impressed

Rainbow Dash snored loudly as she lay peacefully on top of a cloud. That peaceful sleep was soon disturbed by a pony who was bouncing joyfully back home and was giggling madly.

Rainbow Dash opened up one eye and looked down to see her friend bouncing by. She noticed that she was carrying a white bag in her mouth. Rainbow Dash became suspicious as to what was inside the bag and swooped down in front of her friend. She was hoping that maybe Pinkie Pie had bought some candy or muffins, and that she might be interested in sharing something with her. "Hey Pinkie, what do you have in the bag?" Rainbow asked.

Pinkie Pie put the bag down and started giggling madly again. "Twilight Sparkle diagnosed me with mania and she wanted to go about a more natural and safer approach by treating me with Lithium. Twilight told me that Lithium can be found in natural spring water and the dose she is giving me would be considered very low among many other ponies who work with medicine. These capsules are even veggie based and everything is super duper natural and safe here. She said that I have been so happy and high that one day I could possibly crash and something natural that could stabilize my mood would prevent me from becoming Pinkamina Diane Pie again.

Rainbow Dash cocked an eye brow. "Lithium," she said. "Does this mean you're going to be uh, different now?"

Pinkie Pie shook her head no. "I'll still be the old cheerful Pinkie Pie, but I just won't be as crazy! Twilight Sparkle said that if I don't take these pills, then the pillow room police will come and take me away and I'll be bouncing all over the fluffy pillowed walls in my strait jacket!"

Rainbow Dash shrugged. "I'm kind of bored today. Would you like to go and pull some pranks on our friends?"

Pinkie Pie shook her head no again and said, "Twilight said I can't do anything too crazy at the moment until my body starts to absorb the medicine, but I'm sure we can do some pranking when I am fully stabilized! She said I'd need to wait at least a week or so before I can do anything fun."

Rainbow Dash sighed and said, "Well I guess we can wait until you're uh, stabilized. I will come back and check on you in a week."

Pinkie Pie grabbed the bag with her mouth and began to bounce away from Rainbow Dash. She couldn't stop giggling.

Rainbow Dash scratched her head with her hoof and said, "Lithium. I hope this means she'll still be fun."

After a week of waiting, Rainbow Dash walked into Sugar Cube Corner. She was surprised to see Pinkie Pie calmly putting some baked goods away. She studied her very carefully as if waiting for that moment Pinkie Pie would do something crazy and funny. Rainbow trotted up to the counter and said, "Hey Pinks, are you all ready to have some fun today?"

Pinkie Pie took out a batch of freshly baked cookies. "I'm sorry, but I just have to put these away and clean up a bit. I'll be done shortly. Would you like a cupcake?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Rainbow Dash raised an eye brow and said, "Are you asking me if I want a cup cake Pinkie?"

Pinkie Pie look confused. "What do you mean by that Dashie?"

"Well, you normally don't calmly ask questions like that! You just shove cupcakes and apples into our mouths because you're an impulsive pony! What has gotten into you Pinkie Pie? You're starting to scare me!"

Pinkie Pie sunk low to the ground. "I'm so sorry Dashie, Twilight just wants me to be safe so I don't crash in the future and become a possible danger to myself. How would you like me to behave?"

"Like this!" Rainbow Dash said as she grabbed the cupcake from Pinkie Pie's hoof and shoved it into her mouth.

Pinkie Pie gave a forced grin with the cupcake inside her mouth and then swallowed. "I-I-I just don't feel the need to act out my thoughts so quickly anymore Dashie."

Rainbow Dash tapped on the counter impatiently with her hoof. "Well," she said.

"Well what?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"You just had a specially made Pinkie Pie cupcake! It has been roughly ten seconds and you still are not bouncing off the walls. You are super sensitive to sugar and those cupcakes are sweeter than any other treat you make here! Your job and destiny in life is to make ponies smile and be happy and I am not experiencing either of those right now."

Pinkie Pie gulped and said, "Dashie, I think sugar makes me more prone to my mania out breaks. I may just be mellowing out a bit, but I'm still full of laughter and smiles though!" Pinkie Pie suddenly bent down and pulled out a fake turtle. She placed it on the counter and squeezed the pump. A spew of water came out of the turtles mouth and splashed against Rainbow Dash's face. "See Rainbow Dash! I saved one of our most favorite prank of all time!"

Rainbow Dash put her hoof against her head and sighed.

Pinkie Pie began to panic. She bent down again and started throwing random things that she found for their special day together. Harmonicas, party horns, rubber chickens, the dribble glass, fake snakes in a can, and more. Pinkie Pie took the can of snakes and opened it up in Rainbow Dash's face. Confetti and plastic snakes popped out and got stuck in Rainbow Dash's mane. Pinkie Pie smiled awkwardly in hopes that she might earn a smile from one of her best friends.

Rainbow Dash simply tapped against the counter with her one hoof as she held her head in boredom with her other hoof. "Boring!" Rainbow said. "Pinkie, you lost your spunk and you're just not the same. I don't even want to hang out with you until you're back to the crazy, random, and fun Pinkie Pie that I once knew and loved. I want you to stop taking those Lithium pills!"

Tears began to well up in Pinkie Pie's eyes. "I-I-I just want to please and make you smile Dashie, but Twilight Sparkle said I might be a danger to myself if I happen to crash again and my mane and tail flattens out! I'm so sorry I failed to make you smile." Pinkie Pie suddenly left the bakery and ran upstairs crying.

Rainbow Dash sighed and looked around the counter. There she saw a bottle of Pinkie Pie's Lithium pills. Suddenly, a rather sinister grin crept up on the face of Rainbow Dash. Rainbow took the pills from the counter and hurried out the door. She had the greatest prank she was about to pull off in her mind.

With a Little Help From My Friends

Rainbow Dash sped through the alleys of the city Manehatten. This was a bit of a travel for her, but thankfully it was the closest city to Ponyville. She had two ponies in mind right now. It didn't take her long to find the two ponies who were standing by a dumpster wearing trench coats. The information about where these two ponies could be found was true. "Hey guys I heard you sell some pills and I..." Rainbow Dash was suddenly cut short because she was shocked to see the Flim and Flam brothers turn around and face her. "I uh, what are you guys doing here? You are the two that sells pills to ponies on the streets right? I thought you two were in the apple cider business."

Flim laughed and said, "we had to sell our apple cider machine because we couldn't keep up with the demands of Applejack's apple cider from Sweet Apple Acres! We found a more profitable business here in Manehatten selling drugs on the street. What can we get for you?"

Rainbow Dash put her hoof to her chin. She was deep in thought as she looked across the filth and garbage that was littered throughout the alley. "I don't really know what drug to buy. What do you all usually sell?" Rainbow asked.

Flim and Flam looked at each other and smiled. They then looked back at Rainbow Dash and began to sing.

"Are you sick of life? Do you need a fix? Allow us to reach into our bag of tricks."

"Tired of feeling nappy and crappy? We'll make it snappy and give you a pill to make you happy!"

"We have pills that range from blue, to red, to yellow! Some perk you up and some make you mellow!"

"We have pills that can alter your brain. They can give you escapes to get away from the pain."

"Do you want to feel as if you're drifting peacefully away on a cloud, or do you want to feel so good that you'll shout out loud?"

"You come form the land of Ponyville to buy a pill and get your fill for the thrill of a new adventure that goes beyond your wildest dreams. Just pop in a pill and you'll know what I mean."

"Do you know a little pony that could use a boost? Do you know a little pony with a few screws loose?"

"You have come to the right place, and our pills will put a smile on your face."

"Just pop one in and gulp it down to turn that frown right upside down."

"If you're ever feeling tired and want to feel wired, we can provide an example with just a little sample."

"Try our pills and take our word. Do not think either of us are absurd."

"What could possibly go wrong, just take this pill and sing this song."

"You can trust our deal there is no danger, you can take these pills from a stranger."

"Rainbow, You're a smart mare, you are not dumb. You have made a wise choice to come here for fun."

"Just pick out some pills and you'll be on your way, flying freely, high, and feeling gay."

Rainbow Dash suddenly glared at them with anger. "I'm not gay," she muttered through her teeth. "I don't want to make my friends gay either."

Both of the stallions laughed.

Flam spoke up and said, "We didn't mean it like that Rainbow. We meant the old saying of feeling sublime! We don't have any mind altering drugs that would cause you to change your sexual preference, but you never know! One day a pill like that could happen! We sell pills for just about everything else. What kind of desired effect are you looking for my dear?"

Rainbow took out the bottle that she took from Sugar Cube Corner. "I have this friend who is taking these Lithium pills and she's just not the same anymore. She is mellow and boring and I need something to pick her up. Do you guys have anything in mind?"

Flim smiled as he pulled his coat out. Inside his coat were many bottles of pills.

Flam looked at each bottle and then used his magic to bring out a bottle from his brother's coat. "Here is something from the amphetamine family. We call this little wonder, Adderall XR. Try one and see how you feel. It may take a while, but everything you do, be it sports or school, will be better!"

Rainbow Dash stood there in shock. "Do you mean that I can fly faster or be able to focus more?" she asked.

Flim used his magic and took out a glass of water. He opened up the bottle and gave the water and a single pill to Rainbow Dash. "Of course! Our drugs are magical and you will notice a major improvement in your abilities. Have a free sample. It's on us!" he said.

Rainbow put the pill in her mouth and chased it down with some water. "Wow! I feel great already! Thanks! Will I crash when the effect wears off?"

Flim laughed and said, "That's probably just a placebo effect. Yes, this pill activates very rapidly inside your body, but you should feel even better within a few moments. Don't worry about crashing, that's what the XR is for and it means extended release, so you will be feeling awesome all day."

"Shouldn't it stand for ER being that e is the first letter in the word extended?" Rainbow asked.

Flam answered, "It probably would make ponies think that Adderall ER stands for emergency room and taking a pill might send some ponies to the emergency room, which wouldn't be a terribly inaccurate assumption, but that doesn't matter! X is just a cool letter and it can mean so many different awesome things!"

"But I thought you said that these pills are safe?" Rainbow asked.

"They are! I'm just possibly over speculating things here!" Flam answered.

"And what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!" Flim added.

Rainbow Dash looked at the pills of Lithium and said, "Your amphetamine pills aren't the same color as these Lithium pills. I need this to be a surprise for a friend. What can we do about that?"

Flim took the bottle of Lithium pills and began to unscrew each capsule with his magic. He dumped whatever remains were inside of the capsule onto the ground. He then took the amphetamine pills and carefully placed each one into the capsules that were formerly holding the Lithium. "If the shoe fits, then wear it!" he said.

Flim was quickly able to fill up all the emptied Lithium capsules and handed them back to Rainbow Dash. "That will be ten bits for the pills please."

Rainbow Dash pulled out the ten bits from her bag and gave the money to one of the stallions.

Flim gladly took the money and shoved it into the pocket of his trench coat.

Flam took off his hat and bowed down to Rainbow Dash. "It's a pleasure to do business with you! You're our new friend and we'll help you out in anyway that we can. We hope to see you again. You know where to find us! Have a great day!"

The two bothers turned their backs on her and began to walk away. They had business to do with other ponies.

Rainbow Dash suddenly felt a wave of energy overtake her body. Her heart began to beat a little faster and she suddenly jolted up with an insane amount of energy and focus. "Best........pills........EVER!" she said out loud in excitement. Rainbow Dash couldn't wait to pop some more pills for herself, but right now she had to make a special delivery at Sugar Cube Corner.

Pulling the Prank on Pinkie Pie

Rainbow Dash walked back into Sugar Cube Corner and found a frantic Pinkie Pie searching all over the bakery.

Pinkie Pie was muttering things and her tail and mane was now flat.

Rainbow Dash walked up to the counter and said, "Hey Pinks, you look like you just lost your mind or something. What's up?"

"What's up? What's up!? Dashie, my Lithium pills are missing, and I could be in danger if I don't take them!"

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and said, "Pinkie, I'm sure it takes a few days for the effects of a medicine to leave your body."

Pinkie Pie turned her back to Rainbow and began searching near the oven.

Rainbow quietly put her pill bottle back on the counter and then purposely knocked it over on it's side. "Opps," Rainbow said. "Are these the pills you are looking for Pinkie?"

Pinkie Pie rushed over and looked at the bottle. "Yes! That's what I have been searching for! Oh, thank you so much Dashie! Thank you!" Pinkie Pie grabbed the bottle and unscrewed the top. She put a single pill onto her hoof. She stared at it for a moment and then looked at Rainbow Dash with suspicion. "Hey, Rainbow. Where did you find this bottle anyway?"

Rainbow Dash smiled a nervous little grin and said, "I just found them right in front of your muffin display. You must have just not noticed it."

Pinkie Pie stared at her with such intensity as if she were looking through the depths of her soul. Suddenly Pinkie Pie smiled and said, "Okie dokie lokie!" She threw the pill up into the air and caught it in her mouth. She took a chug of water and swallowed. Within an instant, her tail and mane grew puffy again because she felt safe that she did not miss her dose for the day.

Rainbow Dash's eyes grew wide in anticipation. She wondered how her friend would react to this drug since she was feeling so high and awesome right now.

Within a few moments, Pinkie Pie suddenly fell to the floor and was clutching at her heart as if she were experiencing a heart attack. She was gasping for air and started to sweat.

Rainbow Dash instantly flew over the counter and dropped down by her side. "Oh my gosh. Pinkie Pie, are you okay? Can I take you to the hospital?"

Pinkie Pie was still clutching at her chest and was trying to gasp for air. She had no idea what was happening to her body.

Rainbow Dash gently shook Pinkie Pie and said, "Pinkie, can you hear me? Can I take you to the Hospital?"

Pinkie Pie gasped a few more times for air and then sat up straight. She wrapped her front legs around her friend's body and began to cry. "Dashie I don't want to die. I feel like I'm dying right now and my heart is palpitating like crazy," she said. "Twilight said if I get too crazy, I should take another Lithium pill."

Rainbow Dash's eyes grew wide with fear. If taking one pill of Adderall XR was going to be this bad for her, then taking a second pill might kill her. "I-I-I think you shouldn't take another pill and just try to relax a bit. It seems like you were having some kind of panic attack. Just relax a bit and I'll stay by your side."

Pinkie Pie sat there on the floor and took some deep breaths. Her heart was racing at insane speeds and her mind began to have the most random thoughts. "Thank you for not leaving me. I need to be around a good friend because I'm so scared. Please have a muffin and stay a while. If I get any worse, then I'd like you to take me to the Hospital."

Rainbow Dash took a muffin and sat at a table. She watched her friend slowly regain control of her breathing.

After a few more moments, Pinkie Pie suddenly jolted up and she raised herself to her hooves again. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Dashie, I feel totally awesome! I don't know what happened, but I just feel like I'm on top of the world right now, and there are sonic rainbooms that are running through my mind. My brain is going zip-zoom, ka-pow all at once!" she said. Pinkie Pie began to gawk at Rainbow Dash and she had the most horrific and manic looking smile plastered on her face. She began to breathe deeply again with excitement.

Rainbow Dash put her muffin down and smiled. "Now that's the Pinkie I know and love! I'm so glad you're back to normal. Say, would you like to have some fun today?"

Pinkie Pie leapt through the air and tackle-hugged Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash fell backwards and her head hit hard against the floor.

Pinkie Pie stood over her with her hoof on her chest and said. "Oh my gosh! I would just love to spend time with you and do things that are fun! Fun is such a fun word and it rhymes with bum, sun, lung, rum, come, oh, and...."

Rainbow Dash put her hoof to her friend's mouth and silenced her. Rainbow giggled a bit and said, "I think I have the old Pinkie Pie back now. Let's go out and have some fun."

Pinkie Pie got off of Rainbow Dash and zipped over to where she had a box of all of her party supplies and pranks. She took out many things and packed them into her saddle bags. It was time to make some noise and have some fun!

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash ran out of Sweet Apple Acres at full speed. They dodged apples being hurled at them.

"And ya'll better stay out of my farm. If I ever catch ya puttin' clown wigs on the cows or paintin' my farm animals, there's gonna be trouble! Big trouble!" Big Macintosh said as he hurled one last Apple at the two pranksters to get his point across.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie ran back inside of Sugar Cube Corner and slammed the door shut. They both looked at each other and started giggling madly.

"That was so much fun Dashie! I don't know what came over me! We almost got caught by the police several times out there. I never knew taking Lithium would make me feel this awesome! I feel as high as a kite and I don't ever want these feelings to end!"

Rainbow Dash giggled again and said, "Boy, I really didn't know you still had it in you Pinks, I had so much fun today! We need to do this more often!"

Pinkie Pie was hungry now because she didn't eat anything for a long time thanks to her appetite being suppressed all day from the amphetamines. She bounced over to the freezer and took out some ice cream, as well as a jar of cookies that was on the counter nearby. She plunged her face into the gallon of ice cream and devoured it within seconds. After that, she began to consume the entire jar of cookies. When she finished the last cookie, she licked every little crumb off of her hooves. Pinkie Pie's eyes grew wide with excitement and her whole body began to shake violently from the amphetamines and the sugar rush on top of that. She looked at her front hooves and they were shaking uncontrollably. Pinkie Pie looked up at Rainbow Dash and had the most manic and craziest grin that Rainbow Dash had ever seen before. She began to breathe heavily and looked as if she was crazed or psychotic.

Rainbow Dash let out a nervous little giggle as she looked around the room. "Hey Pinkie, maybe I should get going home now since it's getting late and I'm sure you need to get to bed early and.."

Before Rainbow Dash could finish her sentence, Pinkie Pie had somehow traveled across the room at such an insanely fast speed that it was almost as if she had magical unicorn powers and teleported over to her. Rainbow Dash suddenly found herself in some kind of head lock and her head was near Pinkie's chest. Rainbow could practically hear and see Pinkie's heart beating at rapid speeds.

Pinkie Pie squeezed her friend with a tight hug and said, "No way, Dashie! I don't want this night to end. You're staying over my house tonight and we're going to have a party and watch movies!"

Rainbow Dash somehow broke free from the death grip hug of Pinkie Pie and thought to herself for a moment. She was actually wired and the effects of the amphetamines were not dying down on her either. She was having a great time and thought that a sleep over might be a good idea. "Ok, Pinkie. I'll sleep over tonight. Let's get some more ice cream and cookies. I think I'm in the mood for some comedy movies tonight."

Pinkie Pie lit up with another crazed grin and began to head to the back towards the stairs that led to her room.

Rainbow Dash followed her and watched her friend's body shake violently. Every step she took looked almost mechanical and she looked as if she was some kind of robot that was breaking down with each step she took. Rainbow Dash grabbed some extra cookies and ice cream and headed up stairs.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie continued to shove ice cream and cookies into their mouths. They often found themselves laughing with mouthfuls of dessert at the movies they were watching.

Rainbow Dash looked over at the clock the bedroom wall. It was now two in the morning and Pinkie Pie was showing no signs of tiring out. Rainbow looked under the bed and Pinkie Pie's pet alligator, Gummy, was already sound a sleep. Rainbow Dash focused on her own feelings. She didn't feel the slightest bit tired and she now understood what the Flim and Flam brothers meant by extended release capsules. The effects of these pills lasted an insanely long time, and it probably didn't help either of them to be indulging in sugar right now.

At around four in the morning, Rainbow Dash finally began to yawn. She looked over at Pinkie Pie who was still cramming cookies and ice cream into her mouth and was giggling madly at what she saw on the television. "Uh, Pinkie aren't you tired yet?"

Pinkie Pie shook her head several times in confusion. "Tired? Tired!? I feel like a super mare and that I can do anything I want! I feel so high and happy that I don't even want to go to bed tonight!"

Rainbow Dash blinked a few times and said, "Well, I'm really starting to get tired and I'm probably too tired to fly home now. Can I sleep here for the night?"

Pinkie Pie nodded her head yes with enthusiasm and said, "Sure Dashie! You can have my bed for the night and I'm just going to stay up and watch some more comedy movies for the rest of the night."

Rainbow Dash nodded ok and hopped up onto the bed. She stared at Pinkie Pie for a few more moments before turning onto her side and fell asleep quickly.

Grabbin' Pills

"Hello? Hello? Is anypony running the shop today?" A certain gray Pegasus pony asked out loud. Derpy Hooves was experiencing muffin withdrawal and she had to have her fix before she started her shift of delivering the mail today. Derpy began to get impatient and banged her front hoof several times on the floor. "Hello? Is anyone up there? Can I get some help?"

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes slowly and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already after nine in the morning. She got out of bed and tripped over Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash landed hard against the floor. She picked herself back up and began to poke the pink pony who was curled up like a dog. Her back leg continued to twitch as she dreamed. "Pinkie Pie. Pinkie..." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie was in a very deep sleep. Rainbow Dash noticed a glass of water near by and grabbed it. She flung the cup of water at Pinkie's face and got her soaking wet.

Pinkie pie jolted up "W-w-w-what time is it? Why am I so tired?" Pinkie Pie looked like a train wreck. Her eyes were blood shot and she began to nod off back to sleep.

Rainbow Dash began to panic when she heard a customer downstairs still calling up for help. She grabbed the bottle of pills on Pinkie's desk and took Pinkie's glass of water. She opened up the bottle and shoved a pill into her friend's mouth. She then put the glass of water to her mouth.

Pinkie Pie gulped the water down and began to choke because she swallowed the pill in a way that bothered her throat.

Rainbow Dash patted her on the back as she continued to cough.

"Rainbow Dash, I don't think I should have any more of those pills right now because they are supposed to mellow me out and make me feel more calm. I don't know why you just gave me another one."

Rainbow began to think of a fraudulent excuse and said, "I uh, I think these pills don't always make you mellow, but rather balances you out, so if you feel tired, you should perk up a bit."

Pinkie Pie suddenly felt her heart palpitating rapidly in her chest and she grabbed at her chest once again and began to panic. "Dashie, it's happening again. Twilight Sparkle said there would be no side effects of taking this amount of Lithium, but ever since yesterday, these pills have been giving me terrible heart palpitations." Pinkie Pie fell back to the floor and grinded her teeth in agony because she felt like she was about to die at any moment. She was terrified and unsure of what was going to happen to her.

"Don't worry about it and be tough like me. I think you have a customer downstairs. You'd better hurry before you get in trouble," Rainbow Dash said.

Pinkie Pie looked up at the clock and gasped. "Oh my goodness, it's already after nine in the morning and I didn't even begin to bake anything yet!" Pinkie Pie raced out of the door.

Rainbow Dash paused for a moment and then went over and picked up the bottle of pills. She was feeling terribly tired and she could use another boost. She opened up the bottle and took out a pill. She put it in her mouth and waited a while so she could build up some saliva in her mouth before attempting to swallow. There wasn't any water nearby and Rainbow Dash didn't want to give away any clues that she was taking Pinkie Pie's fake Lithium pills. Just as she swallowed as hard as she could, she turned around to see Pinkie Pie looking at her with horror on her face.

"Dashie, what in Equestria are you doing with my pills?! Why are you taking my medication?"

Rainbow Dash stood there in shock. "I uh, I just needed a little boost too. I hope you don't mind. I can get you more. Don't worry about it."

Pinkie Pie took the pills from Rainbow Dash's hoof and said, "Ok, as long as I don't run out, we can share them. I like to keep these pills nearby because I start to panic if I get too wound up and I might forget where I left them, like last night." Pinkie Pie ran back down the stairs at full speed.

"I'm so sorry, I went behind your counter to get your attention, but I was just really desperate and hungry for my treat before I start work. I might be a bit late today," the mail mare said.

"Oh No! I am sorry for being late! I stayed up way too late last night and I didn't realize what time it was! Do you want the usual, Derpy?"

Derpy nodded her head yes.

Pinkie Pie took out three chocolate chip muffins and placed them in the bag. They were a bit old and probably a little stale, but she didn't have anything else to give her most loyal muffin customer. She quickly pushed it over the counter and said, "I gave you an extra muffin today and there won't be any charge for it because I had you waiting. I'm so sorry for being late!"

Derpy smiled and said, "It's ok, Pinkie. Thanks for the free treats! I'll see you tomorrow!" Derpy quickly hurried out the door and flew away with her breakfast.

Pinkie Pie started to breathe heavily again. She instantly reached out for her bottle of pills, but she was fumbling with the bottle because her hooves were shaking like crazy. Eventually, she managed to get a single pill onto her hoof. Right before she was able to put it into her mouth, Rainbow's hoof came out of nowhere and smacked the pill right out of Pinkie's hoof. Pinkie Pie watched in shock as the pill scattered across the floor and ended up falling deep under the oven. Pinkie Pie turned to Rainbow Dash and said, "Rainbow, why would you do that? Twilight Sparkle said that if I start to get crazy again, then I should take another pill."

Rainbow Dash gave a rather awkward smile and said, "Pinkie, I think Twilight doesn't understand that maybe you should just stick to one pill a day for now. These pills are obviously picking you up."

Pinkie Pie sighed to herself and said, "I just don't understand how medicine works. Twilight promised me that I could take more pills to calm down and here I am going nuts again. I guess I'm just a screw up." Pinkie Pie sat down on the floor and clutched at her chest because her heart was still beating dangerously fast.

"Aw, come on kid. You're not a screw up! Your body is just having a unique reaction, and how can Twilight know every single ponies reaction to a drug since all of our bodies are different. No pony can possibly know the exact outcomes of taking a drug even if it is natural, like Lithium."

Pinkie Pie sighed and said, "I guess you're right Dashie. I just never experienced symptoms like this before, and when I first started on this drug, I felt so much calmer and felt like I had more control over my mind and body. I guess things can change over time." Pinkie Pie picked herself up and began getting out the baking trays. She was very late and she would need to haul flank to make up for the lost time. Little did she know that the amphetamine pills would pull her through this. The amphetamines began to kick in and she went into overdrive. She was done baking her goods and tidying up the place in no time.

Rainbow Dash's stomach began to growl. "Hey Pinkie, can I get a muffin?" Rainbow asked.

Pinkie Pie was so focused on her work, that the words of Rainbow Dash almost went right over her head. "Huh? What? Oh, sure! Help yourself. Some of them might be a little stale, but have as many as you want."

Rainbow Dash took a variety of different muffins out and took them over to a table near by. She began to eat them as she watched the manic pony practically fly throughout the kitchen. Rainbow Dash finished the last muffin and brushed the crumbs off of the table and onto the floor. Rainbow walked over to the counter and said, "Hey Pinkie, I'm going to get going. I have to clear the skies today or the Princesses supervisors are going to get on my flank because they caught me practicing my tricks in the skies and I forgot to clear a few clouds. Some of the plants didn't get their proper sunshine, so I've really got to make sure I do a better job today. I'll come back with the other girls too. I'll see you later."

Before Rainbow Dash turned her back to leave, she found herself wrapped in a death lock of a hug from Pinkie Pie.

"Oh, I just suddenly got this rush of happiness and I can't contain myself. We should go out to eat and then play games like pin the tail on the pony. We can pull some more pranks and then we could..."

Rainbow Dash began to gasp for air. She was barely able to get the words out. "Pinkie Pie. Let go. I can't breathe."

Pinkie Pie tilted her head in confusion for a moment and then gave Rainbow Dash one last squeeze.

Rainbow's eyes popped out of her head and her bones began to crack in her back. "Hmmmphhhf!" Rainbow moaned.

Pinkie Pie let go and bounced around her friend who was now bent over and gasping for air. Pinkie Pie began to giggle madly.

"Pinkie Pie, how do you hug so tightly? You have to have the tightest death grip of a hug," Rainbow said.

Pinkie Pie giggled even more and replied, "Oh Dashie, I joined a gym and I use one machine only. They have a machine that works your muscles that you use to give hugs. I maxed out on that machine and I practice my hugging skills on ponies all the time!"

Rainbow put her front hooves behind her lower back and stretched herself out. "If you say so Pinkie. I'll be back later. Just take care of yourself and try not to burn the place down. Catch you later." Rainbow Dash turned and left Sugar Cube Corner.

Pinkie Pie bounced back behind the counter and began to giggle madly as she took out a hidden stash of cookies that she had stored away in case of emergencies. She was starting to feel the high from the drug, and now she wanted to amplify that effect with sugar.

Rainbow Dash Gets Busted

Rainbow Dash and her friends trotted over to visit their friend, Pinkie Pie.

"So as I was saying, Pinkie Pie has changed a bit and is now back to her old ways again," Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight cocked an eye brow and said, "What do you mean, Rainbow? I had her start on Lithium to take care of that problem. How could she possibly be back to her old ways? I remember she told me that she was calming down a lot and I noticed a major change in her personality and her behavior."

Rainbow Dash giggled and said, "I don't know Twi, she's been a lot more fun these past few days. You'll see what I mean when we get there."

Twilight shot a suspicious look at Rainbow and said, "I sure hope she's ok. The only possible way that she could be getting worse is if she stopped taking the Lithium or started taking some kind of other drug. I hope neither is true."

When the girls reached Sugar Cube Corner, Applejack opened the door and the five mares stepped inside.

"Pinkie Pie? Are you here darling? It's time to go out and have some fun," Rarity called out, but there was no answer.

"Maybe she's upstairs," Fluttershy suggested.

As the girls walked towards the stairs, they could hear some kind of scuffling on the floor followed by a soft sobbing.

Fluttershy peaked over the counter and put her hoof to her mouth in horror at what she saw.

The rest of the girls came over and stood there in shock as well.

There on the floor was Pinkie Pie clutching at her chest and shaking violently. Her mane and tail was flat and she was softly sobbing to herself.

Fluttershy was the first pony to move. She raced over and put her hoof on Pinkie Pie's shoulder. "Oh my," Fluttershy said. "Pinkie Pie, what happened to you? Do you need us to take you to the Hospital?"

Pinkie Pie sat up and wrapped her front legs around Fluttershy's body.

Fluttershy spread her wings out in an attempt to keep her balance as she almost tumbled down to the floor with the pink pony.

"Oh Fluttershy, it's my heart again. I keep having these crazy heart palpitations and I can't calm down. My body feels like it will shut down at any moment and I will die."

Twilight Sparkle put her hoof to her chin and was deep in thought. "Did you happen to take another Lithium pill to calm down, Pinkie?"

Pinkie Pie let go of Fluttershy and looked over at Twilight with tears in her eyes. "Yes, I did. Dashie told me that these pills could be perking me up too much, but I remembered you telling me that if I ever felt crazy or out of control, then I should take another pill, and even though Dashie said I shouldn't, I ended up taking two pills today because I wanted to calm down, yet every time I take one of these pills, I have these severe reactions. I just don't understand why this is happening all of the sudden when I was doing so well when I first started taking this medication."

Twilight scratched her head with her hoof. "This doesn't make any sense at all, Pinkie Pie. I have read about all kinds of crazy reactions to drugs because each pony is a unique and individual case, but I have never heard of or seen anything like this before with what I am using to treat you. Lithium will never cause any of the side effects that you have mentioned. Something else must be going on here. Where are your pills?"

Pinkie Pie got up and put the bottle of pills in her hoof. As she walked over to Twilight, she kept dropping it on the floor and had to pick the bottle up multiple times because her body and front legs were shaking tremendously.

Twilight opened up the bottle. She took one single pill out and opened up the capsule using her magic. Twilight Sparkle was horrified at what she discovered. She took another pill out and opened up the capsule and she got the same result. "Somepony has taken your supply of Lithium pills and emptied out the contents inside the capsule and has hidden another drug inside the pills I had specially made for you! Who in Equestria would do such a horrible thing?"

Rainbow Dash backed her flank up against the wall and began to whistle.

Twilight Sparkle instantly jerked her head around to Rainbow Dash and stared at her with hostility. "Rainbow Dash! Please tell me that you are not the pony who put in a different drug inside these capsules!"

Rainbow Dash began to giggle a bit and said, "Aw, come on Twi! You know I couldn't stand the new boring Pinkie Pie, and I just had to give her a little boost!"

Twilight Sparkle's mouth hung open in shock. She eventually shook her head rapidly and said, "What is it that you put into these pills, Rainbow? I need to know NOW!"

"It's an amphetamine based drug called Adderall XR," Rainbow replied.

Twilight Sparkle gasped in horror. "You could have killed Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash! What is wrong with you!?"

Rainbow Dash put her hoof up in the air as if to silence Twilight and said, "Relax, Twi. I went to two ponies on the streets of Manehatten who are well known and they said that their drugs are totally safe and nothing bad could possibly happen."

Twilight couldn't believe what Rainbow was telling her. Twilights face turned red with rage. She shot back at her friend and said, "Rainbow Dash! Adderall XR is a terribly dangerous psycho stimulant and it should be banned! They usually give it to young fillies and colts who are having a hard time focusing in school and some ponies even use it as an appetite suppressant. Adderall causes mood swings that may include violent behavior, depression, and panic attacks! No wonder Pinkie Pie feels as if she is dying!

Pinkie Pie stumbled over and fell on the ground at the hooves of Rainbow Dash. "Dashie, you mean to tell me that you pranked me, and I'm suffering right now because of what you have done to me?"

Rainbow Dash became defensive and said, "Hey, relax! I have been taking these pills too you know, and nothing bad has happened to me. You just might need a little bit more time to adjust to the effects of the drug." Rainbow Dash walked over to the counter and grabbed the bottle of pills. "Look Pinkie, these pills are safe and I'll take another one right now just to prove it." Rainbow Dash took off the cap to the bottle and put a pill into her hoof.

Twilight Sparkle stomped her hoof against the floor and glared at her friend with anger. "Rainbow Dash don't be stupid! Don't take that pill," Twilight warned, but it was too late. Rainbow had already made up her mind and she swallowed the pill.

Rainbow stood on her hind legs and leaned against the counter with her right front hoof. She put her left front hoof on her hip and said, "See, Pinkie Pie is just over reacting and these drugs are safe. Nothing to worry about here." Suddenly, Rainbow's eyes grew wide and she fell to the floor. She began to clutch at her chest and she was sweating heavily. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Girls, I think I am dying! Help! Help!" Rainbow Dash began to breathe heavily as if she were about to give birth.

"Um, shouldn't we do something, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight shook her head no and said, "No. The drug effects work very quickly and all we can do is wait it out. Hopefully she learns her lesson from this. I don't know what the milligrams of the dose is, but she should be ok."

Rainbow's body began to violently shake. She felt as if her heart would explode out of her chest at any moment.

Fluttershy came over to Rainbow Dash and tried her best to comfort her.

Twilight turned her attention away from Rainbow Dash and looked for Pinkie Pie. "Uh, girls? Where did Pinkie Pie go?" Twilight asked. Twilight and her friends looked around the room, but Pinkie Pie was gone. Suddenly, Twilight heard very deep breathing coming from above her. She looked up and found Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was clinging to the ceiling fan and had the most psychotic looking grin on her face. Her tail and mane was now puffy again.

"It feels good, Twilight. So incredibly gooooood!" Pinkie said.

"Uh, Pinkie Pie. You might want to come down. I need to take you to my house so I can mix up some more Lithium pills for you."

Pinkie Pie stopped breathing like a mad mare for a moment and said, "Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie Pie suddenly grew four extra legs in-between her front and back legs. She began to walk upside down on the ceiling. She walked over to the wall and began to climb down the side of it.

"Ew! Ew! Ew! I just hate spiders!" Rarity cried out. Rarity used her magic and brought out the red fainting couch. She put her front hoof to her head in a dramatic manner and fainted onto the couch.

When Pinkie Pie was back on the ground, her four extra pair of legs that she had grown out of no where, suddenly retracted into her belly. Pinkie Pie looked at her hooves and began to giggle madly.

"What in tar-nations was that all about, Twilight? Takin' those pills makes a pony grow an extra pair of legs?" Applejack asked.

Twilight Sparkle shook her head no quickly and said, "Of course not, but Pinkie Pie is a very unique individual who can break physics and do all sorts of things that science can not explain."

Pinkie Pie vanished from their sights. She suddenly, popped out of a jar of cookies on the counter and held a cookie in her hoof. She took a bite out of it and grinned madly.

"Uh, Pinkie Pie. I think it's time you calmed down and come back to my place. I need to get some Lithium into your system as soon as possible. You need to stop taking those amphetamine pills now," Twilight said.

Pinkie Pie and the jar of cookies quickly disappeared from their sight.

Twilight Sparkle felt a hoof tap. She turned around and Pinkie Pie somehow was now behind her. Half of her body was sticking out from the cookie jar that was way too small for her body to possibly fit in.

Pinkie Pie let out an insanely sounding giggle. If her giggles had sounded fast and crazy before, they were now more than doubled the speed of what her normal giggling sounded like. She took a cookie out and shoved it into Twilight's mouth. "No way, Twilight!" Pinkie Pie said. "The fun is just getting started, and I don't want to stop my party pills!" Pinkie Pie took out a party horn. She stuck it inside Twilights ear. The tip of the horn came out through her other ear. Pinkie Pie took a deep breath and blew into the horn.

Twilight scrunched her face and shut her eyes tightly at the loud sound from the horn that was literally inside of her head.

Pinkie Pie removed the horn from her ear and began to laugh crazily.

Applejack was fanning Rarity with her hat, and eventually got her to stand on her hooves again.

Twilight shook her head several times and said, "If we can't get Pinkie Pie under control, then Ponyville might be in serious danger! She might even be capable of doing more damage right now than that one time where she had cloned herself with the legend of the mirror pond in the Everfree forest! Pinkie Pie please settle down and come here!"

Pinkie Pie suddenly popped her head out of a box near by that was filled with her pranks and toys. She now had a rather sinister grin on her face. "But it's time to have some more fun, Twilight! Be back in a jiffy!" Pinkie Pie sprung out of the box like a jack in the box toy. She now was wearing her saddle bags that were filled with all kinds of pranks and party supplies. She began to bounce out of the house. Suddenly, she felt something tight wrap around her body.

Applejack had lassoed the manic pony and then she yanked at the rope with full force. "Pinkie Pie! Git over here and calm yerself down missy! Ain't no way yer gonna break outta that!"

Pinkie Pie grinned crazily at Applejack and said, "You've got to catch me if you can!"

Applejack blinked for just a mere second, and there was nothing but rope laying at her hooves. She looked back up and saw that Pinkie Pie was already standing half way out the door. Nopony had ever been able to escape from an Applejack lasso before.

Pinkie Pie waved goodbye to her friends and set out off on her own merry way. As she was leaving the building, she shouted out, "It's time to paint the town red! No wait, I mean pink!"

Fluttershy helped Rainbow Dash stand to her hooves again. Rainbow's heart beat finally settled down. She wasn't in panic mode anymore, but she was wired and filled with energy. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash came over and stood next to their friends who were staring outside the door. Their mouths hung open in shock. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash noticed what they were gawking at. The entire town seemed to be covered in graffiti. Smile faces, bright beaming sun rays, and rainbows covered the outer walls of buildings everywhere.

Twilight Sparkle turned her head back to the counter and said, "Well, at least we still have the rest of her pills." Twilight stared at the counter with horror. The pills were now gone and Pinkie Pie must have taken them with her.

Rarity nervously looked over to the rest of her friends and said, "It looks like we have our work cut out for us."

Pinkie Pie Terrorizes the Town

The girls traveled across town. Nearly everything they saw was ruined in some way. This was as bad, if not worse, than the time when Discord reigned over Ponyville for a while.

The ponies of Ponyville were shouting obscenities and were furious at what happened to their homes and properties.

Twilight and her friends tried to gather information about where the rampaging party pony might be from the victims, but everything had happened so fast that they couldn't pin point where her exact location would be. The girls searched everywhere across the town. They could sometimes catch glimpses of the manic pink pony here and there, but she would always speed away so fast.

Hours had gone by and Twilight and her friends were starting to get tired. Rainbow Dash was the only pony who was still full of pep and energy. She made it her mission to track down her wild friend and put an end to her rampage. If anypony was capable of blowing up the world, Pinkie Pie would fit that criteria perfectly.

Out of no where, a loud bang had occurred followed by many explosions.

Twilight and her friends hit the ground and covered their ears in fear. It was almost as if a bomb went off right next to them.

The ground continued to shake violently with the many explosions that were going on. Twilight Sparkle took her hooves out of her ears and looked up to the sky.

A massive display of fireworks were going off in town.

Twilight got up and ran towards where the explosions were coming from. The rest of her friends followed behind her.

There they found Pinkie Pie setting the last bit of fireworks off.

"Pinkie Pie! You need to stop! You are firing these fireworks way too close to the trees and you can start a fire!" Twilight cried out.

Fluttershy trotted nervously over to Twilight's side and said, "Um, Pinkie Pie, you are terrorizing my animal critter friends. Please stop."

Pinkie Pie smiled and set off the last remaining firework. It malfunctioned and hurled towards Rainbow Dash. It wound around in a desultory manner and Rainbow Dash leapt to the side and did a somersault. She was barely able to dodge the incoming projectile.

Twilight Sparkle looked away from Rainbow Dash, when she realized that she was ok, and turned back to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, ok, that's enough. You must have set off the entire town's fireworks display. Please calm down and come home with us. I think the town's ponies are furious with what's going on right now."

Pinkie Pie grinned and shook her head no. "That was just the opening, Twilight! You didn't even see my grand finale! I have way more fireworks over here." Pinkie Pie pointed her front hoof over to a pile of dynamite that could very well destroy the entire town of Ponyville and more.

Twilight and her friends gasped. "Pinkie! No! Stop! Those aren't even fireworks. Those explosives are dynamite. Where did you even get that amount of dynamite from in the first place? How could you even afford so much?"

Pinkie giggled and said, "After I bought out all the fireworks in town, I went to visit the coal miners and I got a sweet deal on some more explosives! I just simply borrowed all the bits from the safe in Sugar Cube Corner and used that to pay for all the boom booms! Before I experience such awesomeness, I want to pop another party pill!" Pinkie Pie pulled out her bottle of pills and was about to open the cap.

Rainbow Dash grinded her teeth in agony. She was the one responsible for getting Pinkie into this mess and she would have to be the one to get her out of it. Rainbow Dash dragged her front hoof through the earth several times like an angry bull as she prepared herself for take off. She then crouched down low to the ground like a tiger getting ready to pounce on its prey and then leapt through the air at full speed. Just before her front hooves were able to connect with the bottle of pills, Pinkie Pie had vanished. Rainbow Dash tumbled along the ground several times and then picked herself back up. She looked all around, wondering where her pink friend could be.

"Pssst! Over here, Dashe!" Pinkie said.

Rainbow Dash turned around and saw that Pinkie Pie had her head popped out from the top of the dynamite pile. She took out a match struck it against the tip of her hoof. The flame lit up and Pinkie Pie grinned madly. There were no possible dangers running through her mind, because she was so manic and happy at this moment.

Rainbow Dash flew up to the gigantic mound of explosives. She put all her fears aside and hurried on over before disaster could strike the entire town. Just before Rainbow Dash was able to knock the match out of Pinkie Pie's hooves, Pinkie Pie ducked back under the pile of explosives and the match stick flew high into the air. Rainbow Dash instantly turned back around and flew as fast she could. She clapped her front hooves together and caught the match in the air. It was just inches away from falling into the pile of dynamite. Rainbow Dash had saved herself, her friends, and what would possibly be the entire town's population by extinguishing the fire. Rainbow Dash tossed the burnt match away from the pile and wiped the sweat off of her forehead. She enjoyed taking risks and facing dangerous situations, but this was really cutting it too close for her comfort zone.

Pinkie Pie had dug a tunnel through the dynamite and came out near the bottom of the pile. She still had her pills with her and was giggling madly. She leaned up against a tree near by and started laughing hysterically.

Twilight Sparkle teleported from behind the other side of the tree and had cast Pinkie Pie inside some kind of force field.

Pinkie Pie suddenly leapt high above the barrier and landed by Twilight's side.

Twilight casted another barrier spell, but this time she put a magical lid on top, that would contain the frenzied pony. "You're not going anywhere now, Pinkie!" Twilight said.

Pinkie Pie began to frantically scratch at the walls of the shield with her front hooves. When she realized that there was no escaping, she began to dig furiously deep into the earth. Within a few moments, Pinkie Pie popped out of the earth from behind Twilight Sparkle. "Surprise!" Pinkie yelled. She took out a party horn and blew into it with all the force her lungs were capable of.

Twilight Sparkle tried to blast Pinkie Pie with pulsing bolts of magic that came out from her horn.

Pinkie Pie easily dodged every single one and her body would ricochet off the trees as if she were some kind of pony pinball.

Twilight's horn was smoking and she had used up as much magical energy as she could possibly muster up.

Applejack stepped in and tried to lasso Pinkie Pie once more, but she missed and her rope got caught in the tree branches.

Rainbow Dash drove down from the skies like an angry mother bird who was trying to fend off predators. Rainbow missed and she collided against the tree.

Fluttershy and Rarity stood there watching in horror. There wasn't much either of them could do at this moment.

Pinkie Pie joyfully raced back over to the pile of dynamite. She took out another match and lit it up against her hoof.

All the girls watched in horror. They were all too far away to do anything about it.

Pinkie Pie bent down with the match and just before she was able to connect the flame to the fuse, the match suddenly burnt out. "Huh?" Pinkie Pie said. This was her second to last match that she had left. She struck the match against her hoof again and the match lit up. Before she could even bend down to light the fuse again, it went out. Somepony must have been playing some kind of trick on her.

A voice spoke to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie, stop now."

Pinkie Pie looked up at the sky and saw Princess Celestia standing above her on a cloud.

"Put the match down and come with me," the Princess said.

Pinkie Pie began to panic. There was no way she could stop her fun right now. She didn't even get to set off the grand finale of boom booms. She repeatedly struck the match against her hoof again in desperation. Princess Celestia used her magic and transformed the match stick into a flower. "I know a few party tricks myself, Pinkie Pie," the Princess said.

Pinkie Pie threw the flower down to the ground and turned her back on the Princess. She tried to run away, but she suddenly found herself rising up into the air. She looked down at her hooves and they were glowing with a magical effect from the Princess.

Princess Celestia incased her inside a magical bubble mid-air. Her magical powers were strong enough to capture and contain even the most manic pony who could even break physics.

Pinkie Pie took out her pill bottle and desperately tried to open it, even though her front hooves were shaking so hard.

Princess Celestia teleported the pills out of the ponies hooves and levitated her saddle bag off of her body that she was carrying. Princess Celestia opened up the saddle bag with her magic and turned the bag upside down. She shook it, and out came all of her party supplies as well as that box of matches.

Pinkie Pie's eyes welled up with tears now that she realized she was defeated and disarmed from all of her fun tricks. She began to cry and two miniature waterfalls gushed out from her eyes and fell to the ground. "I just want to have fun and you're all against me and want to make me sad again!"

Pinkie Pie's friends all came over and bowed low to the ground before the Princess. Twilight picked her head back up and said, "Thank goodness you came, Princess! Ponyville was just mere seconds away from total disaster."

"I heard outcries from my ponies and I had to cut my meeting with other royalties short to come and see what was going on. How did this all happen?" the Princess asked.

Twilight Sparkle teleported behind Rainbow Dash and put her head to her flank. She began to push her closer to the Princess.

Rainbow Dash dug her hooves deep into the earth. She had a very awkward smile on her face as Twilight pushed her closer to the Princess.

Twilight teleported next to Rainbow Dash's side and said, "I think Rainbow Dash might have something to say about this."

Rainbow Dash let out a nervous little laugh as she looked at the Princess. "Please don't ban me to the Everfree Forest if I tell you the truth," Rainbow said.

"Go on, Rainbow Dash, what did you learn? I promise not to ban you to the Everfree Forest," the Princess said.

Rainbow sighed and said, "I learned that you can't mess with drugs, even if they are legal and deemed as safe. I learned that it's even worse to purchase the drugs in order to do experiments on your friends with them. I was upset because Pinkie Pie was calming down and she just didn't seem right to me. I wanted to try to give her a boost, but little did I know that the effects of the drug would literally have her almost destroy the entire town. I learned that I need to accept ponies differences, and if that means a change in their personalities, then I need to respect that. I'm so sorry Princess Celestia."

Princess Celestia nodded her head and said, "It seems as if you have learned your lesson, but you should still have a punishment. You will be in charge of cleaning up the town. I will have another Pegasus pony cover your shift in the skies." The Princess used her magic and Rainbow was suddenly holding a large sponge and a bucket of water. "You can first start by cleaning up all the graffiti on all of the walls of the buildings. I'll send in my royal guards to clean up this massive mound of dynamite as soon as I can."

Rainbow Dash sighed again and said, "Can I at least get one more Adderall XR pill before I start?"

Princess Celestia shook her head no and said, "Absolutely not! I will be confiscating this bottle of pills! You also should apologize to the town's ponies for what you have caused Pinkie Pie to do. I must get back to my royal duties, be well everypony." The Princess broke the spell bubble that was holding Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie fell to the ground and her energy was starting to fade away because the effects of the amphetamines were beginning to wear off. She needed another boost.

Princess Celestia spread her wings out. She paused for a moment and then picked up the bottle of pills that were on the ground. "Oops, I almost forgot! I'll be taking these with me too. I can't risk having this bottle fall into the wrong hooves again," she said. Princess Celestia took off to the skies.

Pinkie Pie came bounding over and wrapped her front legs around Twilight's body. "Oh Twilight! I'm starting to get really hungry and I feel all grumpy, moody, and sad. Is the withdrawal going to be bad? Am I going to be safe?"

Twilight Sparkle patted her friend on the back and said, "Adderall XR is a neruo-toxic drug that destroys one's mind and body over time. It can cause brain damage over time too. Thankfully, there isn't much to worry about being on it short term, although it is always a dangerous drug no matter how long a pony may be on it. We need to get you back on Lithium. Lithium actually regenerates and heals damaged nerve cells in the brain thanks to it being able to penetrate the blood brain barrier. The withdrawl experience isn't going to be pretty Pinkie, even if you were only on this drug for a short time. You are going to feel awful for a little while and you will want to do nothing but sleep in bed and eat lots of food. We'll help you through it though. That's what friends are for."

Fluttershy nervously spoke up and said, "Um, excuse me, Twilight, but I was just wondering. You told me a while ago that Adderall XR is used to help ponies with attention problems. Pinkie can sometimes be a few apples short of a bushel, so why did the drug not improve her focus or calm her down?"

"That's because Pinkie Pie may not be as severely attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as some other ponies may be," Twilight said. "I think Pinkie Pie is more manic than having focus problems, but they can often seem to be interwoven in some way. Being bi-polar can be a bit different than being completely out of focus. Sure, Pinkie Pie has a lot of hyper activity, but at least she could still get through all of that and focus on her job at the bakery. It's a shame that parents these days would rather drug up their fillies and colts if they are slightly out of line or think differently. Our world keeps getting dumber thanks to drugs like Adderall XR. It often kills creativity of the mind." Twilight looked back over to Pinkie Pie and said, "We need to be grateful that you lack wings and a horn for magic. The entire world could have imploded if you had those abilities under the effects of the amphetamines."

Fluttershy's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and said, "Is marijuana ok in your book? I kind of grew some in my back yard. The plant is so pretty."

Twilight laughed and said, "As long as you don't smoke it. It has many good uses and marijuana is probably one of the most important herbs out there. Smoking anything is bad for your lungs, and there has been a lot of connections between smoking marijuana and schizophrenia."

Fluttershy nodded her head in understanding.

Twilight turned to Rainbow Dash. "It looks like you'd better make that apology to the town's ponies now Rainbow. I bet the town's ponies are in total chaos and want to know what had just happened."

Rainbow bowed her head in shame and sighed.

Rainbow Dash stood up at the podium next to the town hall. She gave a speech and apologized to everypony about what had happened. After the speech, Rainbow Dash found herself shaking and starving as she cleaned the walls of the town. She kept having to gnaw on snacks, as she went about the day, because her body was going through withdrawl even though she was so briefly on this drug. She knew it would only get worse too.

The Great Boom-Boom

Princess Celestia slammed the bottle of pills on the table in her palace. She put her hoof to her head in distress and said, "My royal servants! I have had a very busy and stressful day. I need some pampering right now. I would like a massage followed by a bubble bath. I need extra bubbles tonight!"

The servants bowed and lead her into the spa room.

When Princess Celestia was finished with her pampering massage at the spa, she walked out and was getting ready to take a bubble bath. Princess Celestia looked at the table where she put the pills down and noticed that they were now missing. "It probably just rolled off the table and is on the ground. I'll look for it later." Princess Celestia entered her royal bath room.

The royal servants had already filled the bathtub with water that was tested with a thermometer to make sure it felt just right. The servants added lots of extra bubbles to the bath tonight and the Princesses most favorite rubber ducky that she named Xuxa, was sitting on the ledge of the bathtub just begging to be squeezed. The Princess slowly got into the tub and laid back against the wall.

A royal servant holding a silver platter that had a fancy cup of wine on top came over and bowed before the Princess.

Princess Celestia used her magic to levitate the cup and took a sip. Suddenly, the Princess became a bit gassy and let out a rather unlady like sound from below the waters surface. Princess Celestia turned her head over to the royal servant who was trying to contain his laughter.

He looked over and saw that the Princess was staring at him. "I thought we had added enough bubbles to the bath tub. I didn't know you wanted to add some more yourself."

"Watch your tongue. You're lucky you're one of my favorite servants here, otherwise, I'd have your head for such a wise crack remark," the Princess said.

The servant bowed low before the Princess and apologized. He then left the bathroom and Princess Celestia was now alone.

The Princess gave a playful punch on Xuxa's beak with her hoof. Life was back to normal now. She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to check up on her sister, because Princess Luna was taking care of her royal duties while she had to make an emergency visit to Ponyville. She also remembered that she needed to order that massive pile of dynamite to be removed from Ponyville. Princess Celestia was not in the mood to call out for her servants at the moment. She felt there was no immediate danger right now. She shrugged a bit and picked up her little rubber ducky in-between her two front hooves. She smiled with glee as she squeezed him and the little plastic ducky let out an adorable sounding squee. She looked out the window that overlooked the land of Canterlot and Ponyville. A cool breeze swept inside the room. Princess Celestia inhaled the fresh air and it relaxed her even more. She used her magic to turn on the special feature of the duck and a loud buzzing sound could be heard. The tip of its tail was now vibrating. She put the duck underneath the bubbles and rolled her eyes upwards with pleasure.

Princess Luna grinned an insanely psychotic smile as she stood before a giant mound of explosives. She took out a bottle of pills that she had found in the palace and took off the cap. She popped another pill into her mouth and swallowed. She looked at the ground and noticed that there were random items scattered all across the ground near the explosives. Her eyes focused in on a box of matches. She opened up the box and looked inside. There was one single match stick left inside. She began to giggle madly and took out the match stick. She struck the match several times against her hoof and the match lit up. "This seems like a good and fun idea!" she said. She bent down and lit the fuse up, and began laughing hysterically. Within a few seconds a loud explosion rocked the land of Ponyville and the entire town was blown to smithereens.

Princess Celestia had the rubber ducky back into her hooves again. The moment Princess Celestia squeezed her rubber ducky a second time, that explosion went off perfectly on time and in sync with the sound of the squee from Princess Celestia's rubber ducky. The Princesses eyes grew wide in horror as she looked out the window and saw the gigantic explosion that took place right before her very own eyes. She then looked down at the innocent looking little rubber ducky and said, "Oh my Xuxa, did you make that happen? I know that you can rock my world when it comes to explosions, but I didn't see that coming."

Suddenly, a royal guard burst through the door and fell on his face before the Princess. He picked his head up and said. "My Princess! Please forgive my intrusion of your privacy, but Princess Luna left a note saying that she found some pills and that she was going out to have some fun. A blast has rocked the entire village of Ponyville, and we fear that she may have gone down with that blast, as well as the entire town's population!"

Princess Celestia face hoofed for a moment and sighed. She then picked her head back up and started to laugh. "Well, I didn't really like my sister much anyway. We all know the sun is more important than the moon anyway, right? Princess Celestia got up and stuck her rear end out at the guard. She wiggled her flank back and forth in front of the guard's face and said, "All hail my mighty sun butt!"

The guard stood there with confusion written all over his face as he stared at Princess Celestia's cutie mark on her flank. He then perked up and saluted the Princess and said, "You're absolutely right my Princess! Your sun is magnificent! Who needs the moon when we have your sun shining brightly for us every day?! All hail the mighty sun butt!"

Princess Celestia grinned again and said, "It looks like we'll have to find some new subjects to be my elements of harmony. I really didn't care too much for them. Pinkie Pie can't ever seem to shut her loud mouth and she always seems to eat all of my food. Applejack smells like horse manure. Rainbow Dash is an arrogant fool. Rarity is a big whiney cry baby. Twilight Sparkle thinks she knows everything, and Fluttershy....." Princess Celestia paused for a moment while trying to figure out a valid excuse to hate on Fluttershy. "Fluttershy is just a weakling and a pushover. We need some real heroes around here! I guess we can start looking tomorrow."

The guard saluted her again and asked, "Would you like us to send out search teams for any survivors?"

The Princess shrugged in a nonchalant manner. "Sure, why not," she said.

The guardspony bowed again and said, "Are you upset by this tragedy at all my Princess? Is there anything I can possibly do for you?"

Princess Celestia put her hoof to her chin and was deep in thought. "Actually, yeah, you can. I think I could use another Prozac pill and also, Mr. Xuxa demands that we fill up the bathtub with more magical bubbly goodness!" Princess Celestia brought the rubber ducky closer to the guards face and squeezed him tightly. The sound of the little squee that came out of the rubber ducky made Princess Celestia giggle madly.

The end.

Author's Note

At the age of four, I was forced to be put on this drug because I had severe attention and hyperactivity problems. I ended up staying on this destructive drug for well over twenty years of my life, and after much work, I am now happily off this garbage. I have also been free from all pharmaceuticals. There was at a time in my life when I was plagued with being on multiple anti-depressants, and a host of other pharmaceuticals at the same time because the Doctors felt it was right for me. I have been through so much horrible suffering with the pharmaceuticals, and I am now free from it all.
