Chapter 1

"Fascinating!" said Twilight, jotting notes in her journal as the potion she was working on hissed and spat purple sparks under the influence of her magic.

Twilight's magic flared brighter as she concentrated and the potion responded by glowing a deep shade of purple and bubbling violently.

Somepony chose that moment to knock on the door. Twilight glanced at the door, then turned back to the potion quickly as it began smoking. She quickly tried to use her magic to fix it, but it was too late. The potion burst into flames before exploding in her face.

Wiping ash off her face, Twilight went to the door. "Yes?" She asked irritatedly, opening the door.

Twilight look around "Hello?" She asked, but there was nopony around.

She was about to close the door and go remake her potion when she glanced down.

"What's this?" She wondered, picking up the scroll that was on her doorstep.

She closed the door and walked to her desk, opening the scroll as she did so.

Twilight

I'm afraid I have a matter of grave importance to discuss with you. if convenient, please meet me at Sugar Cube Corner at precisely 7 o'clock this evening. Please do not tell anypony else that you are coming.

Twilight flipped the note over, wondering if there was anymore and read If inconvenient, come anyway

In place of a signature there was a picture of three balloons shaped very much like the cutie mark of a certain pink earth pony.

Twilight set down the note and looked back up at the clock. It was half past three.

Well that's when I was planning on writing my friendship report to Princess Celestia Twilight thought to herself, summoning her schedule.

Maybe if I start that an hour earlier- No, then I won't have time to get Spike's 7 hour bubble bath ready The purple unicorn began writing things down, then scratching them out with a shake of her head, trying to fit a meeting with Pinkie Pie into her schedule.

"I wonder what Pinkie wants" Twilight wondered aloud as she walked slowly to Sugar Cube Corner.

Twilight was a little cross. She had finally managed to fix her schedule so that she could meet Pinkie, but as soon as she did, the clock had struck 7.

Twilight wondered if it was even worth meeting Pinkie, considering all the important things she still had to get done. But she had already reached Sugar Cube Corner, so she decided to find out what Pinkie wanted.

"Hi Pinkie!" Said Twilight, pushing open the door and seeing the pink pony sitting at a table.

"Twilight!" Exclaimed Pinkie, bouncing up and bounding over to Twilight "I'm so glad you're here! I mean, I was worried for a little bit because it passed 7 and you're usually so punctual and I thought you weren't coming but now you're here and-"

"Pinkie, I hate to be rude, but I kind of have other things I need to do, so could you please just tell me what you wanted to talk about?"

"Cupcakes!" Exclaimed Pinkie, producing one from nowhere.

"Cupcakes?" Asked Twilight "That's what's so important!?"

Pinkie nodded a few times and held out the cupcake to her "Here, try it!"

Twilight sighed and decided to just try the cupcake and leave.

"Pinkie," she began as she took a bite of the cupcake "I thought you said the matter was of grave importance."

"Oh it is Twilight!" Said Pinkie earnestly as Twilight finished the cupcake.

"Then can you explain how a cupcake-" she suddenly stopped as a wave of dizziness washed over her. "Can you ex-" the world started spinning and she felt to the ground.

"Its a matter of your GRAVE importance! Ooh, that was a good one!" Pinkie giggled as Twilight faded into unconsciousness.

Twilight slowly regained consciousness some time later.

As she opened her eyes, the first thing she registered was searing light. She shut her eyes quickly and tried to will the spots away from her vision.

"Oh look girls, Twilight's awake!" Twilight heard Pinkie say.

Twilight ignored Pinkie and explored her situation with her other senses. She was lying with her back on what felt like a metal table. She was held in place by what felt like leather straps on her legs. She could also smell a very faint coppery smell, suspiciously like dried blood.

Finally, she decided that was all she could figure out without opening her eyes. Slowly, she opened her eyes a crack.

"Hiya Twilight!" Said Pinkie Pie, who was standing in front of Twilight, back lit by a bright light. "We were all wondering when you'd wake up!"

"Pinkie Pie, what is going on?" Asked Twilight, squinting in the harsh light.

"You're here to help me!" Said Pinkie "Well, you're here to help US." She amended "Come on out girls!"

Twilight watched as 5 ponies stepped into the light "Rarity! Rainbow Dash! Applejack, Fluttershy! Help me! Pinkie's gone crazy!" Twilight shouted once she recognized the ponies. The last pony was barely in the light though, so Twilight couldn't tell who it was.

Pinkie just giggled "Oh Twilight, don't worry, I just want to talk! You see, I'm not really who I say I am!"

Twilight looked at her in confusion "What do you mean Pinkie?"

Twilight watched as Pinkie reached into her mane and began unzipping a near invisible zipper. Twilight gasped as the Pinkie Pie suit fell away to reveal...

Pinkie Pie?

"Pinkie Pie, that's a very realistic, umm, disguise, but what-"

"Oh Twilight, I thought you would have figured it out by now!" Said Pinkie, cutting Twilight off "Don't you remember the mirror pond?"

Twilight thought back "Yes, but what-"

"You sent all the mes back into it! And it's soooo lonely being in a pond! I couldn't let you sentence the poor mes to that fate!"

"You don't mean-" began Twilight

"I knew you were smart Twilight!" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie as Twilight's 4 other 'friends' unzipped themselves to reveal 4 more Pinkie Pies.

"Pinkie Pie, what is going on? Why are you all disguised as our friends?"

"We're not dressed as OUR friends" said Pinkie "We're dressed as your friends!" At this, the other 4 Pinkie's nodded "You see, all of you," continued Pinkie "wanted to get rid of us, which made us soooo sad! I mean, all we wanted to do was have fun! Even Pinkie here wanted to get rid of us." Said Pinkie, nudging the Pinkie suit at her feet "So we came up with a way we could stay here and have fun!" She finished, bouncing with excitement.

"Pinkie Pie" said Twilight nervously "You can't mean-"

"Oh but she does!" Said the Fluttershy Pinkie.

"We decided to replace you!" The Applejack Pinkie said with a smile.

"These body suits are so fashionable-" began the Rarity Pinkie.

"That they make us twenty percent cooler!" Finished the Rainbow Dash Pinkie.

"And now its my turn!" Cried the fifth pony, jumping into the light to reveal yet another Pinkie.

"Pinkies, you're crazy!" Shouted Twilight, tugging at the straps.

"We're not crazy!" Said all but the Pinkie Pinkie in unison, pulling out razor sharp medical scalpels and advancing on the struggling Twilight "We're Pinkie!"

"Remember girls, keep her intact or we can't use her!" Said the Pinkie Pinkie, watching as the other five descended on the struggling Twilight like piranhas.

"Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" Exclaimed the last Pinkie as she made the first incision, adding Twilight's screams to the shouts of "Fun! Fun! Fun!" From the other Pinkies

Author's Note

So I'm sure all of you caught the cupcakes reference (If not, go read it, it's pretty good), so thanks to Sergeant Sprinkles for writing Cupcakes so I could reference it. The cover art for this story was actually my original inspiration, and I had no idea it was going to end like it did, but as soon as I remembered the "Too many Pinkie Pies" episode, I was like "What if some of them had escaped? How would they feel?" and then I remembered cupcakes and this happened.

Big thanks to SOUTH3 for prereading this for me, you are an awesome friend. Also slightly smaller but still relatively big thanks to ace010101for introducing me to the fandom.
