So many parties, and so little time! I think I'll go crazy!
I'm Pinkie Pie. Haha, of course you know that. You know what really makes me lose my mind sometimes? When there are multiple parties on the same day, and I can't be at all of them! But I know a solution for that, right? I mean, I did this before, once. Fine, I'll admit, it wasn't the best day in my life, but today I have a plan! That's why I'm here again, in the Everfree Forest, in this small cave. I promised Twilight to never come here again, but I can't see how there are parties with ponies waiting for Pinkie Pie, and I can't make them happy because I'm busy making other ponies happy, at another party. Twilight will understand that. But she mustn't ever find out!
________________________________________________________________________________
"Uuuh, I'm so excited! Should I really do it? Well, of course I should! Silly me, what could go wrong? I have a plan this time!"
One step.. aaaand it's done!
"Hello, Pinkie Number 2!"
I guess I could have thought of names before coming here.
"Uh, uh, I'm you! And you're me! So, we're us?"
"Listen, Pinkie-2. The last time I came here ended in pure chaos. Fun chaos, of course, I mean there were a looot of me's, but in the end I was happy when it all was over. So sit down and listen."
That's going to be hard work, I think. But it will cause soooo much fun, it'll be totally worth it!
"I'm Pinkie-1. I'm the Alpha-Pinkie, the original, you see? You can call me the queen, or the ruler. If I say something, you'll do it. Could you stop making grimaces for just a moment, please?"
"But I'm you, so that means I'm Alpha-Pinkie, too, doesn't it? I mean, we both look the same."
"Yes, we do, but still I'm Alpha-Pinkie. And you know why? Because" Where's this damn necklace? Ah, there it is. "I have this."
"Uuuh, it's shiny! I want something like that, too!"
"No, you can't have something like that. That is the symbol of Alpha-Pinkie, you hear? And as I'm Alpha-Pinkie now, I forbid you to ever wear this necklace!"
"Aaw, this isn't fun at all."
I admit, I'm a bit sorry for her, or me, but that's totally necessary if I wanted this to work.
"Now, I'll give you the first task. Just jump into this pool, that's simple!"
"You mean I can go swimming? I love swimming!"
Well, that wasn't too difficult.
"Uh, what happened? I wanted to swim! Hey, who are you? I mean, you're me, but who are you anyway?"
Pinkie-3 arrived, great. I think I'll just keep producing more Pinkies and explain everything when I have enough me's, so I don't have to do this over and over again.
________________________________________________________________________________
"Listen, Pinkies!" Hihi, I feel like a queen. I'm the queen of the me's! "I am Pinkie Pie, just like you all are. But, I'm also the real Pinkie Pie! You see this necklace? This means I'm Alpha-Pinkie! You all have to do what I tell you."
"Is this a game? When can I be Alpha-Pinkie?"
"I want to be Alpha-Pinkie first!"
"I was the first not-Alpha-Pinkie, so I'll be the next Alpha-Pinkie!"
"Be quite, all of.. me? Nopony is going to be the next Alpha-Pinkie. I'll always be! Now listen close. We're all here for a reason. In Ponyville are too much parties for me to be at every single one"
"Ooooh no! That's not good! Missing fun!"
"That's the reason why we're here today. I founded a secret organization, the 'Mares in Pink', or short 'MiP', to do something against that disgrace. After we built our secret cave in the Everfree Forest-"
"Uh, spooky!"
"I'll give you from time to time orders to go to a party I can't go to, you understand?"
"Building a secret cave does sound like fun! When can we start? Let's start now!"
Sigh.. "Yes, we'll start in a few minutes. Now form a line. I'll give each of you a special horseshoe to identify you. Here we go.. Pinkie-2! Next.. Pinkie-3!..."
Again, not the best names, but they'll do the job...
________________________________________________________________________________
After I gave every me a numbered horseshoe, it was time to start building our headquarter.
"Anyme knows how to use these tools?"
Silly real-me, of course not. But I'm sure having no idea what we're doing will double the fun!
"Listen, Pinkies. I have to do some Alpha-Pinkie-things, and I want you to finish work here, alright? Pinkie-6 has the plans I drew. We want this building to be exactly like that, OK?"
"Okey-dokey-lokey"
Even though it's super important to finish the Pinkie-cave, I mustn't miss any fun with my friends! Let's see how they're doing!
I just exited the forest when I saw Twilight and Spike.
"Twilight! Twiiiliiight! Hey, over here! Spikeeyyy!" I ran towards them waving.
"Oh, hey Pinkie. What are you doing?"
"I just came out of the forest and saw you two here. It must've been hours since our last meeting!"
"Well, I think we can't be together all the time, can we? I'm sure you have to do important things from time to time."
"Yeah, sure, but I think we'll soon be able to spend much more time together!"
"What do you mean?"
"Ah, you'll see!" I winked. Twilight froze for a moment, looking at me, then at the Everfree Forest. Keep it down, Pinkie. She mustn't notice anything, at least not as long as the cave isn't finished!
Aw, no fun things to do with my friends. Sigh. Why have they to work all day? Well, let’s go back to me, I guess.
I went back into the forest and headed towards the location where the Pinkie-cave was about to be built.
“Hey, look! Pinkie’s back!”
“Pinkie! Yaay!” all of me welcomed me with a cheering chorus.
“Hey, me’s. How’s the work? Are we progressing?”
“Well, duh.” Pinkie-6 pointed at some other Pinkies who were just about to lift the first wall.
“Fantastic! This is going to be finished in a jiffy! Let me help you!”
The Pinkie-central was done in no time, thanks to me. And me, of course. Alright, it could have taken a bit longer than expected, but after all we had no experience in using the tools… or actually work. Back sight, we had a lot of fun, doing whatever we did, and nopony got hurt. Well, maybe a bit…
“Eek! Ouch! Ow, ow, oooowwwww!”
“What happened? Are you alright?”
“Let me pass! I’m a doctor!”
We were too many to all work at the same time, so some Pinkies were given other occupation, such as one supplying us with candy, one as DJ to encourage ourselves with some music (“We love music!" "That calls for a party!” - Don’t need to mention that throw us a bit behind our schedule, but how could I say no to a party? Plus, I was the DJ and called for the party, but never mind) and one as a doctor for cases of emergency, just like the one just happened.
“I hit my hoof with this darn hammer!” Sniff.
“Keep calm, Pinkie! I’ll save you!” Doctor-Pinkie turned around to the crowd of staring ponies that started to form behind her. “I need some sweets! Quick!”
After some more of these incidents (as we were ten Pinkies, seven of whom working, it were about 6 more incidents just like that), our work was finished.
“Good job, everyme! We just achieved our first step to rule…” pause, for dramatic effect, “all the parties!”
Enormous applause came towards me.
I knew it won’t be like last time! I knew I can handle all of this!
“And you know what we can do to celebrate our success?”
With a huge grin on my face, I reached behind a tree nearby.
“What is it? What you got there? Show me! Do it!”
I pulled something in front of me, and all the me’s just went crazy, jumping around and cheering in ecstasy. Even though we all knew what it was, they jumped in and played the game.
“What, pray tell, is that?
“Ooh, it’s nothing special. It’s just my Party cannon!”
“Yaaay! Parties are the most fun things ever! Wheeeeee!”
________________________________________________________________________________
We partied the whole night, celebrating ourselves and almost breaking down our new home.
Maybe bringing the party cannon wasn’t the best idea. Of course somepony had to blow herself up to the stars. At least, nopony in Ponyville saw it, thihi! But nevertheless, I have to get some more of these, so every party with a Pinkie at it, or say: every party, has a party cannon there, too!
“So, first day of our organization to get to work, I guess. I’ll just head Ponyville and check out, if there are any parties rising today. Meet you-me all later and give you some orders!”
“Bye, AP, we’ll just stay here, having fun and stuff. Me knows.”
I left and heard my clones keep talking.
“What’s AP supposed to mean?”
“Alpha-Pinkie of course. It’s waayy to long, and AP is short, you see? The less time we spend on talking, which is kinda boring, the more time we can spend on fun things!”
“So I’m P-2, right? That sounds like a robot! Imagine I’d dye my mane and coat red, that would be two red parts on Pinkie-2! That would make me R2-P2, got it? Beep, beep…”
I love it when I have fun, even if not I’m having the fun, but me! Maybe the missing names aren’t that much of a problem.
I decided to first go to the Sugarcube Corner. There’s always somepony around there. I was looking for Applejack, or Rarity, or Rainbow Dash, or Twilight, or Fluttershy, or… anypony else.
If I was them, I’d totally be at the Sugarcube Corner. Well, if I was anypony, I’d be at the Sugarcube Corner.
Before I even arrived there, I saw Rainbow Dash flying above me.
“Hey, Rainbow Dash, down here!” She stopped, turned around and landed next to me.
“Hey, Pinkie. Whatcha doin’?”
“I just was about to see if I can catch anypony up to have a talk and some fun. I’m just soo bored! You know what could end my boreded…ness? A party! Let’s throw one, right this evening!”
“Well, see Pinkie, I’d totally love to party with you, you know that, but I’m a bit busy today… How about tomorrow? Oh wait, I have to go to Coudsdale tomorrow.. Look, I’ll talk to you later and we’ll find a day, alright? See you!
Well, four more chances for a party remaining, I guess.
________________________________________________________________________________
Knock knock
“Hey, Twilight. Have some time?”
“For you always, Pinkie. Come on in.”
“Sorry, I’ll have to visit AJ and Rarity and Fluttershy soon, just one question. I’m ready to paaartey, are you ready to partey, Twilight?”
She sighed. “I’m sorry Pinkie, but I’m totally covered in work today. I have to get this report finished by tomorrow! But I’ll sure be ‘ready to partey’ another time.”
“Alrighty then. Bye!”
Uhff, this doesn’t start good… but I’m sure Applejack will have some time!
She didn’t, neither did Rarity or Fluttershy. Even though they weren’t lying to me like that one time when they started a surprise party for me, I was anything but happy. Downcast I went back to the Pinkie-cave.
“AP is back! So are we going to have some fun today?”
“I’m afraid there aren’t any parties starting in Ponyville today” dejected faces “But that doesn’t mean we can’t throw one on our own here!”
Partying with myself is better than partying all alone, but it doesn’t feel right, somehow.
