[Set in the Eclipse-verse created by CrowMagnon, which was inspired by The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo (The Doctor Whooves chapter) and Crisis of Infinite Twilights created by Defender2222 (so really, it's him you need to blame for all of this)].

Pinkamena Diane Pie: Element of Harmony, hero, writer, poet, coffee shop employee. Unfortunately, sometimes the first two can cause problems with the last part. Sure, "saving Equestria from certain disaster" is a great excuse for being late, but it does nothing to sooth cranky ponies who want their coffee and donuts. This sometimes leaves Pinkamena -- and her boss -- in a position of choice. Is a threat immediate and dangerous enough that Pinkamena has to deal with it, can somepony else handle it, or can it wait until she finishes her shift?

When a familiar threat appears that nopony other than she recognizes, it is up to her to figure out how to deal with a crisis she knows is coming while also keeping up with business.
