The Fourth Wall

Blitz's Unexpected Predicament

The five stallions were still standing outside Sugarcube Corner, waiting for Elusive to call them back in. They agreed and decided to wait outside until everything was good and Bubble had confessed to Pinkie. Whoever she was.

"Hey, y'know we still haven't seen this mare that Bubble likes!" Blitz complained.

Dusk just shrugged. "We'll see her when we see her, I suppose"

Blitz was becoming more and more impatient as every minute passed.

After about ten he put his hooves to his head and let out an ear-aching scream.

"ARGGGGGH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" he yelled as he charged head first into the confectionery store before anypony could stop him.

They were all surprised at the outburst but after a long time of friendship, it was no surprise that this was going to happen sooner or later. They trotted in to see Elusive munching on a blueberry muffin with a tray in front of him, deep in thought. Or at least he was until Blitz came crashing in. He jumped slightly at the crash and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was just Blitz.

Luckily, nopony had decided to lock the door or something serious could have happened. Blitz harmlessly fell on his rump in the middle of the room. He inspected the damaged area and rubbed it with his hoof.

Elusive took another bite from his muffin. He had totally forgotten about the others.

The four stallions trotted in with a surprised look on each of their faces.

"Ah thought you was wit' Bubble and his marefriend" Applejack said.

"I was, but i needed some fresh air. You could cut the tension with a knife." The white unicorn replied as he pointed towards the kitchen.

"Well, that's great and all but where is this pony? We still haven't seen her!" Blitz complained to nopony in particular.

"I wouldn't go in there, if I were you. The atmosphere is unbearable!" Elusive warned.

Blitz ignored his warning and flew in. The others were more patient and decided to wait until they came out of their on accord and each took a muffin from Elusive's tray.

As soon as Blitz entered the kitchen, the first thing that hit him was her colour. Pink. It was incredible. Laughter and energy seemed to radiate from the pink mare. Her mane, bouncy, and seemed like candy floss. Her tail, matching her mane and complimented her figure. His wings closed and he fell to the floor. She turned around to inspect the sound and he got a good look at her face. Her lips were a deep shade of red and her eyes were the colour of the sky. When he looked into them, he felt like he was flying through the sky with the wonderbolts. An endless sky where he could do anything.

He was mesmerised.

He didn't register that Bubble was right next to him or the fact that she was the exact same as his friend. All he saw was her beauty. Her body, her flank, her mane, her tail.

"Are you okay?" Pinkie asked the cyan pegasus.

He was still on his rump. He blinked, finally noticing the eerie resemblance between the mare and Bubble.

"You... Bubble...same...pink" Was all he could utter.

Pinkie gave him a strange look, as if nothing was wrong. Bubble was standing right next to the colt.

He poked him with his hoof.

He sprung up in the air, his wings were flapping furiously and his eyes were focused on Pinkie.

"What's going on!? Why are there two of you!? What the hay is going on!?" Blitz yelled.

"And what are you?" He said with a menacing glare. He was acting headstrong, trying to hide his true feelings.

Pinkie cowered. She couldn't remember the last time she was yelled at this harshly. It wasn't nice.

Bubble stepped in front of Pinkie, full of rage. This was incredibly strange for the pony that loved to sing and dance. It was perplexing.

Bubble's eyes said everything and Blitz knew he had overstepped the mark. The pegasus hung his head in shame and spoke in a low tone.

"Sorry," he muttered. He wished he could turn back time and stop himself from doing all of that.

The cyan colt gave a hoof to Pinkie and she accepted it with a smile. The pegasus cheered up slightly at this.

Bubble's rage disappeared and was replaced by a grin.

"They're friends! Only three more to go!" He thought to himself.

As soon as Pinkie touched Blitz's hoof, a sense of pleasure erupted through Blitz. She wasn't scared and she's even smiling! He couldn't figure out this feeling but he didn't care. Pinkie was in front of him and she looked amazing.

So what if they looked the same? So what if they had the same cutie marks? So what if they have the same personalities? He didn't care about any of that. He had been infected with the Pinkie Pie virus like Bubble was. She was dancing in his head and partying in his heart.

She let go, seeing that Blitz didn't want to. It broke his small daydream and he awoke to reality. He took his hoof back and a blush made it's way across his face. He had never done that before! Even when he was fantasizing about Glida. He trotted out of the kitchen, deciding not to pursue the strangeness of the encounter. He had given Pinkie enough grief. He grabbed one of the last muffins and sat down in thought. What was this strange emotion he was feeling? It was a fizzing sensation in his stomach and a warmth filled him. It sent tickles down his spine and he couldn't help but smile every time it did. Pinkie was in his mind again.

To everyone watching Blitz, it was mysterious. He was deep in thought which was unusual enough, but he was blushing!? That was very, very weird. What was this strange creature that was called Pinkie Pie? A succubus? Some strange creature from the planet Zog? Thoughts swirled through the three stallion's minds while Pinkie was in the kitchen, trying to think of something to say to Bubble. Dusk signaled to Butterscotch and Applejack to come closer.

"Guys, we better be careful about this Pinkie Pie thing, or whatever it is," Dusk whispered. "Look at what it's done to Blitz, Elusive and Bubble!" He said as he pointed at Blitz and Elusive. Bubble was still in the kitchen, Blitz was fantasizing about the pink mare and Elusive was deep in thought about to to get Bubble and Pinkie together.

"Ah agree. Who knows wat' that thing is but if it can do that to Blitz then we better be careful" The farm pony said.

"But, what if... it's friendly? It might just do this on accident..." Butterscotch whispered.

"That may be, but we can't take a chance. We have to confront it!" Dusk said.

"Ah agree. Butterscotch?" Applejack said as he looked at the yellow pegasus.

"I...suppose" Butterscotch replied.

"So, what's the plan, Dusk?" Applejack inquired.

"We bring the pon- umm... whatever-it-is out of the kitchen and confront it. But i'll need a volunteer" The lavender stallion said as he looked at the two ponies.

Both of them looked unsure about this plan but trusted Dusk. Applejack gulped.

"Fine, Ah'll do it" He said and Butterscotch sighed with relief.

He crept quietly to the door, Elusive and Blitz were too deep in thought to notice him.

He peeked around the corner and had to bite on his hat to stop himself from screaming. It was Bubble, but... not Bubble. It was a mare! But she looked exactly like him. Her cutie mark, her mane, her everything! His eyes were wide and his jaw dropped. He crept back to the two stallions quickly.

"What happened?" Dusk asked.

"You'll never believe me so I'll just show ya. What was her name again?" Applejack asked.

"I think it's... Pinkie" Butterscotch answered.

"Okay," the orange stallion said as he walked back towards the kitchen.

"Miss Pinkie, Can you come out for ah' bit?" Applejack said and he stepped back towards the two other stallions. The pink mare stepped out of the kitchen and they got a good look at her. Applejack had to rub his eyes, even he didn't believe his eyes for a second. The two stallions were too speechless to say anything. Butterscotch's legs started to wobble and he eventually fell to the ground, eyes still fixated on Pinkie. Dusk just remained motionless. It took him a couple minutes of staring for his mind to start but all that came out was a jumble of words.

Blitz snapped out of his trance and just started staring at Pinkie. She didn't notice the cyan pegasus.

"Wha...pink...magic...Bubble...mare..." Dusk  muttered.

Now that she wasn't in the same room as Bubble, her personalty returned to normal.

Pinkie gasped. She grinned at the three stallions that were looking at her. "My name's Pinkie Pie! Hi pony-that-looks-like-Applejack! Hi pony-that-looks-like-Fluttershy! Hi pony-that-looks-like-Twilight!" She said without taking a breath.

The lavender unicorn shook his head and tried to think straight but all that was in his head was questions.

"How could this happen? Why does she look exactly like Bubble? What is this magic?".

Pinkie tilted her head and looked at the three stallions.

"Oh! Are we playing the staring game? I wanna play!" Pinkie said as she locked onto Dusk and widened her eyes.

"Why does she have the same personality as Bubble? Could she be Bubble? The thought came to him and it all made sense. That must be it! Bubble's been turned into a mare!

"Bubble, what happened to you? And why are you a mare?" Dusk asked with urgency. He had to write a letter to Prince Solaris right away! Transformation magic was never this strong!

Butterscotch slowly stood up.

"What are you talking about silly? Hasn't Elusive told you yet?" Pinkie asked the stallions who all looked at Elusive.

"Sorry everypony, I was slightly preoccupied with Pinkie's little...predicament" The white unicorn answered with embarrassment.

"Well i'm from another dimension and I went like ZAP-BOOM-WHIZ and i ended in... er...- here!" Pinkie said, almost compromising her special place.

Butterscotch fell to the floor again. His mind had been blown twice in one day. Dusk stared at Pinkie in disbelief, mouth agape and eyes full of shock. Applejack's hat fell off his head and he mirrored Dusk's expression. Elusive heard the same statement and couldn't believe that she was repeating that gibberish. But why? It couldn't be the truth. Or could it?

Elusive pondered for a second why she kept saying that. There was no good reason for her to be saying that. Unless she was telling the truth.

Blitz heard everything and although it shocked him, his eyes couldn't trail away from Pinkie Pie. She may be from another dimension, but Pinkie was still Pinkie. Beautiful.

There was an awkward silence.

Applejack was the first to speak.

"Well,this is ah' first" He said plainly.
