Cake To You're Face

I shot out of the sort of water, Screaming "It burns! It burns!" I found a glass of water, and threw it at my eyes. They cooled down. I realized I was causing a scene. Silence. All the sudden, everyone started laughing. They cracked up for a minute until Applejack spoke up. "Hay! I know this might be funny ta ya'll, But that doesn't give ya the right to laugh at others being abused! A Princess deserves more respect than that!" Applejack had said, Stomping a hoof on the floor. I was greatful that she spoke up, But I didn't say anything. I have never been so damn humiliated! My face felt warm. I knew I was blushing. Pinkie snorted. "Heehee! I looooved you're little dance, Twily! I think it REALLY gave this party a boost!" Pinkie had said, giggling. I frowned. "It's not funny, Pinkie!" I cried. "It's HILARIOUS!" Pinkie cracked up. She kept doing so for minutes, Until I grabbed a chunk of cake, and shoved it in her face, And realized what I had done. "Way to go, Twilight. Way mature." I thought, Groaning. I realized I caused yet another scene. Pinkie bit her lip. Her eyes softened and she sniffled. Everything went silent. Pinkie began crying, And she ran out of Sugarcube Corner. Everyone stared at me. What have I done? Before anypony could say anything, I ran out the door after her. She was nowhere near.

The 4th Of July

I had never got to see Pinkie again until the real 4th of July. She refused to talk to me, though. She usually sat right next to me, pressed close to me, And tugging my arm tighter and tighter as each firework exploded. Instead, She sat across the picnic blanket from me, Instead doing so to Applejack. At least my arm wasn't sore. At least Fluttershy didn't do the same. Fluttershy lay down on her stomach next to me. Her head shot backwards a little every time a firework went 'Pop!', But then it came it shot back after. I'm not sure why Fluttershy wasn't afraid and didn't run away from fireworks in the first place, But instead this is what she did year after year. The show ended with 4 fireworks. They were all shaped like the princesses of Equestria: Celestia, Luna, And Cadence. I felt left out until I saw there was one of myself.

"OUCH!" I heard Applejack shout. "That hurt, Pinkie!" She shouted again. Pinkie snorted. "Oopsy!" Pinkie said. "But gee! That was AMAZING!" She bounced up and down. That was the first time I heard Pinkie talk since I shoved cake in her face. Ugh, I don't wanna think about it. Fortunately, Someone yelling drowned out my thoughts. "WOOO! YEA! DROP IT! YEEAAA!" I looked. Vinyl Scratch and a very annoyed Octavia on the blanket next to us. "Shh.. Vinyl, You're causing a scene.." Octavia said, Looking at me looking at them. She waved at me, Giving me an awkward 'Don't mind us!' expression. Vinyl kicked her back hooves back and forth, falling on her face eventually. "Gimme those!" Octavia said, Grabbing Vinyl's glasses. "You've gotten grass all over them!" She said, trying the glasses on. "I can't see how you can even view the fireworks." She said, then taking them off and cleaning them. I decided to not stare anymore. I turned back to my friends. She saw they they were following Twilight's gaze at Vinyl and Octavia. All the sudden, Pinkie yelled. "WHO WANTS SOME S'MORESSSS!?!" Of course, Me and my friends wanted some. Even Vinyl said "Hey, I'll have some!" Vinyl had dragged Octavia over to the blanket. "Okie dokie lokie!" We went to a different spot on the beach to light a fire. After the fire lit up, Everyone was roasting marshmallows. Rainbow Dash got the stuff for all the smore's quickly. She just had to fly over to Sugarcube Corner to pick up some chocolate, Marshmallows, And graham cookies, and was back in a blast. Everyone was enjoying they're s'mores and talking. I hesitated to make a S'more. But then Pinkie saw me and gave me one. I thought that was sweet, Especially after the cake incident. We had a great time, Talking and eating s'more's for hours and hours. "Ooohh! Look! A crab!" Pinkie said, leaning down to the crab. "Aren't you just the cutest little -- OWW!" The crab pinched Pinkie's nose really hard, Getting everyone's attention. Silence. The crab walked away, And Pinkie's nose bled green blood. It glowed.

The End

Pinkie squinted when she woke up, Everypony was leaning over her. "I'm sorry.. I'm so so sorry.. The voices, It's -- it's just too much." Pinkie sobbed. She quickly changed into the pink Pinkie Pie everypony loved. She curled up into a ball. She noticed my leg. "Twilight.. You're leg.." She grabbed my holy leg and hugged it, sobbing and sobbing. "I'M SORRY!!" She cried again. "Can we still be friends...??" Pinkie asked me in a tiny voice. I know what she did, But she was my friend, And as long as she behaves, We could still be together.

Pinkie, What are you hiding?

I would have never thought I would be friends with Pinkamena Diane Pie. That silly filly who ran away when I said "Hi." Her voice, That voice was ear piercing until I got used to it. And finally, No one could party quite like Pinkie. That strange little pony. All that, Is building up to something very fishy. Don't get me wrong, She was a great friend. But however, What was she hiding? Pinkie, What are you hiding? I was deep into thought, Just sitting there, At Pinkie's party. It was her "Pre-4th of July Party", She had said. Huh. How many times does Pinkie throw a party each week? "C'mon Twilly, Don't be such a party pooper!" Pinkie teased. "I'm sorry Pinkie, I just -" I said, But Pinkie interrupted me. "Okay, Okay! Now, Come bob for Candy apples!" She cheered, Grabbing my hoof and dragging me over to the big bucket full of Caramel Apples. Candy Apples? I've never heard of bobbing for Candy Apples. What was wrong with normal apples? I peered into the huge bucket. It was stained brown-yellow by all the caramel that made it look like it wasn't even water anymore. I couldn't even see through it. Oh, well, here goes. I closed my eyes, And dunked my head into the bucket. Biting blindly around. I bit something. I opened my eyes to see. That was a mistake. It burns!

The Truth, Revealed.

"Ooooowwie!" Pinkie moaned. She felt her nose. She looked at her hoof. Her eyes widened. Not at the blood, But what her friends were seeing. "I just need a hospital!" She cried, holding her nose and running away. Everyone looked at each other.

Next morning, I decided to visit Pinkie at the hospital. "I would like to see Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie, Please." I said to the desk pony. "Miss Pie?" The desk pony said. She checked her papers. "She hasn't checked in." "What? But she checked in last night!" I cried. "I'm sorry, But she is not in at the moment. I suggest you try visiting her home." The desk pony said. "Okay," I mumbled. "Thanks." I went to Pinkie's house, I knocked, And she opened the door. She had a white bandage wrapped around her nose, Making her breathe through her mouth. "Oh, Hey, Twily! How are you!?" Pinkie asked me. "I'm fine. But how are you? Why was you're blood green?" I asked, But I knew I wasn't gonna get a response. Pinkie's eyes widened, "Um, Ohhh would you like a cupcake Twily?!" She said quickly, changing the subject. "I've got plenty!" I took one, But we eventually talked about the blood. I came to no conclusion however. Later on, My new book came in the mail. It was a huge book called 'Creatures Of Equestria'. It explained about nearly every creature in all of Equestria! I grabbed it and decided that Pinkie would enjoy it. I brought it over to her house. "Hey, Pinkie! I just got this book and I thought you'd enjoy it!" I said to her once she opened the door. "Oooh! Goody! What's it about?" She asked, bouncing. "It explains nearly every creature good or bad in Equestria!" I cheered. I flipped my page open to the middle page, Entitled, 'Changelings.' I decided to settle down and read that page. Pinkie sat next to me and listened, Reading along over my shoulder, In her mind. "'Changelings are creatures who can change into just about any form, Which includes entities, Or even inanimate objects. However, They are naturally evil, Judging by they're Queen's ideas for taking over Equestria. We have tested a on a changeling, and It seems that they're bones and organs are utterly different from ponies, And of course according to they're blood tests it seems that they're blood glows, and is bright green.'" I read out loud. "Interesting." Then my jaw dropped. I dropped the book. I had cracked it! Pinkie, The beloved party pony, The magnificent baker, Pinkie, The smiling pony who always was willing to share a smile. Pinkie, She was a changeling.

Destruction and Chrysalises

I stared at Pinkie. Pinkie stared back. "Pinkie --- You're a --" Before I could finish, Her eyes turned green, Just like Chrysalis's did. She started turning. Her light pink coat turning black, And her hot pink mane turning teal, But still staying poofy. Holes formed in her poofy mane and tail, And in her legs. A very holy horn formed on her head, And pair of tattered insectoid wings, "No one must ever know the secret.." She said in a harsh whisper. She still sounded like she did as a normal earth pony, But her voice sounded like 2 voices, just as queen Chrysalis's voice had. Before I knew what was happening, Pinkie grabbed me and threw me in a closet. The closet was empty, It was painted bright pink. Typical Pinkie, Even if she was a Changeling. But then, I looked up in horror. Several Chrysalises hung up on the wall. Vinyl, Octavia, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, And Rarity were in them, And many more. Ponies who were suspicious about her, Who may have figured her out, I guess. I realized that I wasn't alone. I heard the door close. I turned around, Pinkie Pie was there. She didn't say a word. She used her Changeling magic, And she formed a Chrysalis around me. I have to admit, It was cozy, But no time to be comfortable. Pinkie walked out the door. She slammed it. Fluttershy squinted at me slightly, But she could hardly open her eyes. I churned and kicked, And I had did so for a half an hour. With a quick burst, The Chrysalis burst open. I was all goey, I looked at myself, I was still purple. I wasn't completely transformed. But my front right leg was very holy. So was my horn, But I didn't notice that until I got to a mirror. I dragged the rest of the Chrysalises down, Breaking them into little jello like pieces, But they were all unconscious. I pushed at the door, It opened quickly. I guess Pinkie didn't think I could get out. No one was there. I burst out the door, And screams and shouts blasted my eardrums out. Pinkie was lighting fires and making poles fall. All with her magic. I didn't know what to do! Then I remembered, I had just learned a sleep spell. "Pinkie!" I cried. Pinkie turned quickly and blasted a spell at me. I ducked. It destroyed a rock behind me I couldn't believe it. My old friend - She tried to KILL me! I decided it was time to take action. I shot the sleep spell at her. It hit her, But she raised an eyebrow, As if nothing happened, But then she fell.
