Modesty Chapter 0 : Secret Past

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 1: Secret Past (Revamped)

Era of early harmony

”One stormy night on the rocky plains of Bad Lands, two alicorns flee for their lives as they're being chased. The elder and the young alicorn navigates through the cruel storm until they spotted a small cave not far from their view. They went inside the cave and remain quiet hoping that their chaser doesn't spot them. Soaking wet, the young alicorn starts to worry, terrified of what will happen to them when they get caught.”

What's going on? I- . . . I’m scared . . . why is he chasing us? Why is he so mad at you? Please tell me already . . .”The young alicorn is in tears, holding the elder alicorn's hoof tight."

”The other alicorn quietly replied.” S-Shh . . . be quiet Luna . . . Everything's going to be alright, as long as we stay put.

”He places his wing over to young Luna keeping her warm. But it isn't enough for Luna to feel calm, not without knowing the situation they're in. She continues to ask more questions.”

How long do we have to hide here? What exactly did you do to make him that upset?

Luna, it isn’t your concern. This is between me and him. It’s best for you to not interfere.

But why? Why won’t you tell me? I thought we were friends. . . .

Sigh . . .”The alicorn rubs Luna’s head.” Listen Luna . . . I apologize for dragging you into this mess. We’re still good friends it’s just that it’s difficult to explain to you right now.

I see . . .”Her ears went down and sits next to the alicorn.” But where exactly did you run off to all these years? You ran off with him and never say goodbye to me and big sister. I thought we wouldn't see you again . . .

“The alicorn turns its head and looks to the cave entrance.” Nowhere special Luna . . . A lot of things happened since I left Canterlot. I had time to improve myself, I got better with my alternative magic and, I became stronger. Along the way, I found something that wasn’t supposed to be discovered. As soon as he knew about it, he tends to claim it for himself. I don't know why, he doesn't make sense at all.

But what exactly did you find out there? And why did he want it so badly?! I don’t under-

“An explosion from outside the cave interrupts them. Frightened, Luna hid under the alicorn's wing. The cave they're in shakes around from the force of the explosion. Outside, their chaser calls them out in the middle of the rain.”

I know you’re out there somewhere. . . “The chaser smirks and look around, he spotted a huge pile of boulders forming a hill. Without warning, he blasted it into dust and continues blasting everything else around him.” Sooner or later you’ll run out of places to hide, and once I find you. . . I won’t think twice about killing you in this place.

Keep your head down Luna! “The noise of the explosion gets closer to where the two alicorns are hiding. The cave begins to drop chunks of rocks around them. The alicorn couldn't bear it and he stood up. Slowly exiting the cave.”

W-where are you going? ”Luna follows the alicorn.” Y-you’re not planning on facing him on your own, are you? ”She grabs onto its tail pulling the alicorn back in.”

I don’t have a choice Luna ”The alicorn pulls its tail back.” I have to accept my faith and finish this mess once and for all.

“Luna then pulls the alicorn’s wing, trying to stop him.” No, you can’t! He’ll kill you if you do! . . . Stop! . . . I said stop!

He’ll kill both of us if we stay here. He doesn't even know you're with me, so by facing him you get the chance to escape. ”He pulls his wing back and continues to exit the cave.”

"Luna uses her magic to block its way. Angry and in tears, she doesn’t want the alicorn to leave.” I . . . I can’t let you do this! It doesn’t have to be this way you know!? You said yourself before “treat your life like it’s your own treasure” So right now if you go out there and fight him . . . Then. . . . Then . . . Y- You’re just throwing away your life!

“From Luna’s tiring breath, the alicorn recalls its memories with Luna, Celestia, and Discord. Ashamed, it felt guilty for everything. but judging from their situation, the alicorn persuades her.”

Luna, listen to me. . .This is something I must do, in order for you to get out of here alive. What I'm doing isn’t reckless, but it's something that keeps my friends safe from harm. ”The alicorn smiles and pats Luna's head.” You don’t have to worry about me. . . everything’s going to be alright, I promise.

“Luna wipes her tears and smiles, feeling better after hearing its comfort words. She lowers down her magic, clearing the exit.” Alright . . . I trust you . . .

Thank you Luna . . . . “The alicorn smiles and reaches for its pouch. Handing Luna two glowing scrolls. One is silver and the other a fiery gold.” Here, take these with you as you escape.

W-What are these? ”Luna shields her eyes.“ They’re so bright, I've never seen scrolls glow this bright before. . .

These are the scrolls he's trying to steal from me. Take them with you and keep them safe. ”The alicorn open Luna's hooves and gives the scrolls to her.” Remember, No one must know about its existence. Otherwise, it could lead to a huge disaster if it was at the hands of him or anyone else.

Alright . . .”Luna holds on to the scrolls.” I should let Big sister know about this, she’ll find a way to-

NO! She mustn’t find out about this! ”The alicorn grabs Luna's shoulder and repeats itself.” I told you, No one must ever know about these scrolls, or this whole situation ever happened to anyone! Not even Tia . . . Do you understand Luna?

I . . . . But . . . I never kept any secrets from big sister before . . . and why doesn’t he want her to find out? Is there something about these scrolls that would make him lie? Does it have something to do with Big sister? ”The alicorn calls her name repeatedly.” Huh?!

Luna! Do I make myself clear? ” The alicorn eagerly waits for Luna's response.”

. . . . “She looks at the scrolls and reluctantly replied." Y-Yes . . . I’ll make sure to keep this a secret for myself. . .

Good to hear . . .”The explosion from outside reaches where they are. The alicorn turns its head and makes its way to the exit.” I should go now . . .

W-What are you planning to do? Huh?! ”Luna is stopped by a sudden bright circle appeared underneath her hooves." W-wait! What is this?! "A seal is forming around her, cast by the alicorn.” I-I can't move!

And one more thing Luna. . .

. . . .

“The alicorn looks back to Luna and smiles.” This isn’t fair well but . . . until we meet again. . .

No wait! I still need to know what's in these! . . wait! I-

”The alicorn flies out of the cave, leaving Luna behind. It goes up to their chaser and settles their scores.”

Oh! Finally, you show yourself. “Said the chaser with relief.” You know, I was starting to get the feeling you got crushed on one of these boulders I pulverized. “The chaser laughs menacingly.” But who am I saying, it takes more than rocks to take down the likes of you. . .

“The alicorn chuckled and replies.” At least you know who you're dealing with. . . Discord.

“Discord gives an evil smile and replies.” Hmmp! Still full of pride as always . . . Well, guess what? You can bring that pride of yours with you all the way to the Grave!

“The clash of two powerful beings has begun. The whole area crumbles down, as they exchange each other's hits while dodging. As their fight escalated, both of them refuse to back down. Luna helplessly listens outside in the cave, while the magic seal is taking her away.”

Please be ok . . . please come out of this alive . . . please . . .”Luna closes her eyes, hoping for the alicorns’ safety.”

"Both beings gave their all, trying to take each other down. The badlands is now full of craters and huge cracks, forming a small canyon. Irritated, Discord is having difficulties, dealing with the alicorn's swiftness and skills."

Alright! I had just about enough of this child’s play! ”He then pulls out one of the alicorn’s spells and casts it against it.” "Krystállina féretro (Crystal coffin)!”

What?! How can you- !!! ”A bright seal appears above the alicorn, out of it is a small crystal marble falls on its back. Upon contact, the crystal ball rapidly grew in size. Crystallizing its wing and forcing the alicorn to fall from the sky. It keeps on growing from its body all the way to its head, completely immobilizing the alicorn.”

Hmmm . . . Not bad, not bad at all. It's very effective than I thought. “Discord grins at his success in trapping the alicorn.” Luckily this is the only seal I manage to learn from your research room. And I have to say, it works fine against the caster. ”He laughs as he slowly approaches the alicorn, grabbing it by the neck.” Now, be a good pony and hand over the scrolls.

“The alicorn smirks and replies.” Heh, it’s such a shame you went through all this trouble looking for something that’s no longer here.

Wh-What?!! “Discord pulls off the alicorn’s pouch and looks inside, only to find out that it was empty. Crumpling his claws on the pouch as he looks back at the alicorn.” Where did you-

Oh, What's with that face? ”the alicorn said sarcastically.” Is the master of chaos putting all his anger out on an empty pouch? All because he couldn’t get what he wants.

“Discord grabs the alicorn's face with his claw.” Where is it? . . . WHERE DID YOU HIDE IT?!!

“The alicorn chuckled as the crystal slowly covers what was left of its face, giving its last reply." It’s somewhere you can’t find it . . .

You sneaky little. . . RAAGGHH!! ”Discord threw the alicorn's crystallized body onto the pile of rocks. Burying it deep into the ground so no one would find it. The angry Draconiqous then curses the rain, his voice echoes all across the area." I will get what I want! Even if I have to turn Equestria inside out! I swear to you!

"Meanwhile, away from what remains of Bad Lands, Luna is successfully teleported to safety. She sobs at her friends' defeat realizing she was helpless to help him.”

I’m sorry . . I’m so so sorry . . . “She looks at the glowing scrolls on her hoofs and holds them tight.” I’ll keep my promise, that no one will ever use these scrolls but me . . . ”Luna stares at the Moon as the wind blows to her mane. She puts the scrolls in her pouch and, flies off into the night sky.”

1500 years later, Present day

”One sunny day at Ponyville. Just like any other day, all the ponies live their lives peacefully. Earth ponies are busy at their work, Pegasus soaring through the sky clearing clouds, Unicorns using their magic to clean the town hall, and the fillies playing around in the park. At Sugar Cube Corners, where Mr. and Mrs. Cake are busy with their own duties, baking and decorating cakes for their customer’s future events. Pinkie Pie is assisting by gathering all the party decorations while sneaking some cookies off the table. Everything was going smoothly, and then suddenly there was a knock on the door."

Oh! oh! I’ll get it! Owhhff! . . . ”Pinkie tripped and fell on her hooves.” I-I’m ok . . . ”She gets up and answers the door. When Pinkie Pie checks who it is, it’s the mail pony."

"Tired from carrying a bag full of letters, the Mail Pony tips his hat at Pinkie.” Good morning Miss Pie.

Oh hey Stamps. Stop calling me "Miss" already, just Pinkie Pie! How many times do I have to tell you?

"He laughs and replied." Oh, I’m sorry Pinkie Pie, and I believe it’s the 47th time you told me.

Wow! You remembered! ”Pinkie is impressed with Stamps's memory, almost as much as she remembers everyone’s birthday.” You’re pretty good at keeping track there Stamps.

Well, it’s nothing really . . . “Stamps grins, with his hoof on his back scratching off the compliment. He starts to look for the letter in his bag.” Anyway I got a letter today, I’ll hand it over as soon . . . as . . . I . . . find it. Darn, where is it. . . “He dug deep in his bag still looking for that letter.”

Let me guess . . . is it another letter from our customers again? ”Pinkie replied sarcastically.” If it is, I’ll make sure to bring it to Mrs. Cake after she’s done with the baking. But honestly this week we got tons of letters from our customers planning out orders, and we’re still busy with one of the current ones. Boy, Oh boy, it sure is one busy week for us and-

“While Pinkie is talking, Stamps finally got the letter from his bag. He reads the envelope to confirm he got the right one. As he finished he looks back at Pinkie, whos still babling.”

So if it’s another letter to Mrs. Cake I wouldn't be surprised, am I talking too much? Let me know if I talked too much cause I-

Oh no, it isn’t for Mrs. Cake Pinkie . . . This is a letter to you. “He hands the letter to Pinkie Pie.”

For me? ”Pinkie reads the envelope.” It’s from Mom and Dad. Hmmm, it’s been a while since they send me their last letter. I wonder what's it all about? “As she opens the envelope and reads the letter. Surprised, Pinkie screams in joy and hugs Stamps." THIS, IS, THE BEST THING EVER!

Wh-What is P-Pinkie?? "said Stamp while trying to free himself from Pinkie's hug."

I can't believe it's happening! It's finally that time! Today!

Aacckk!! That's nice . . . B-But would you mind let g-

Oh right! Sorry.”She lets go of Stamps and then squishes his cheeks.” Gasp! I gotta let my friends know about this!! Oh! And thank you for the letter Stamps!

D-Dont mention it Pinkie . . .

My, My. What's all this fuss about? "Mrs. Cake step out of the kitchen. She sees Pinkie hopping while holding onto Stamp's cheeks." Pinkie, what's going on here?

Oh! Mrs. Cake, I'm gonna take my break now!

Uhhh . . . . A-Alright Pinkie, just be back after an-

”She lets go of Stamps and dashes over to Twilight's castle, leaving a trail of smoke.”

Hour . . . . Now what on Equestria is she excited about this time? "Mrs cake picks up the letter envelope from the ground." . . . .

Something amazing I'm sure. "Stamps replied as they both saw the cloud of dust heading through Ponyville. "

“Meanwhile in the tree castle. Princess Twilight and her friends were arranging one of the castle’s curtains, and replacing them with Rarity’s designs. But as always Applejack refuses and thinks that it’s too frilly, causing those two to argue.”

For heaven’s sake Applejack! I’m telling you dear, these looked perfect on Twilight’s throne room. I should know, I'm the expert. ”Rarity uses her magic to lift the curtains and place them onto one of the windows.”

Well yah, but I say it ain't. ”Applejack pulls Rarity’s curtains down as soon as she just puts them in place.” I should know . . . you don't need no "expert" to do a little house cleanin.

“Rarity gets irritated by Applejack, as she calmly replies.” Honestly Applejack, First of all: this is a Castle, not a Barn, and Second: you really don’t have any taste in fine interior decorating.

“Offended, Applejack returns the comment back to Rarity.” Well Excuse Me, for not having time to "frillerying" my own household! I just happen to be busy doing something that actually matters!

“Gasp!” Are you saying interior designing doesn’t matter to you?!

It matters if you ain't overdoing it all the time!

”The two mares headbutted each other and tries to push one of them off.”

The Only time I'm overdoing it, is when it comes to you and you're lack of taste!

Lack of taste?! Pssshhhh!!! Give me a break Rarity. You're the one who's bein all picky with things. So that makes you a lack of taste!

Oh! How dare you-

Girls Stop! "Twilight uses her magic to separate them.” It's just curtains, there’s nothing to make a fuzz about. And besides both of you have a point. The Castle should be neat and tidy.

Hah! see, told yah! "Applejack points at Rarity with a smug on her face." Yup! that's right Twilight!

And it should also look eye-catching for every visitor we have.

Hah! "Rarity points at Applejack and smugs back at her." I agree with you Twilight 100%.

Either way, a balance between the two is in order. You two should know that, because you're the experts.

. . . . . "Applejack and Rarity look at each other, they smile and nod." Alright Twilight, we're sorry.

“Suddenly, Fluttershy heard a galloping noise just outside the castle. She looks out the window and sees a cloud of dust heading towards them. She panicked and quickly walked over to her friends to warn them.”

Um . . . girls . . . T-there something out there that you should see . . . .

In a minute Fluttershy. . .”Twilight looks back at Applejack and Rarity. Picking which curtain they agree to use for the castle.”

Uh . . . . . “Fluttershy repeats telling her friends about the danger.” G-girls . . . I know this isn’t the time for me to cut-in . . . B-but there’s a large scary cloud heading right at u-

For Pete’s sake, Fluttershy! Can’t you see they're in the middle of something important over there? "Rainbowdash said slacking off from cleaning while reading Daring Do under the table." And what do you mean by scary clou- !!

“The dust cloud finally reaches the castle and burst through the front doors forcing it to open. Fogging the entrance hall, the ponies goes up to the castle doors. They prepare themselves for whoever appeared out of the cloud of dust. As it clears up, they see Pinkie covered in dust coughing. She shakes off the dust and rushes towards her friends.”

Girls! Girls! Girls! You would not believe what happen to me today!! ”Pinkie skips with excitement around her friends.”

Let me guess . . . “Rainbow Dash sarcastically answered.” Gummy stuck in the sink again?

Oh, Rainbow you kidder you . . .”Pinkie giggles and replies.” NO! He’s only stuck between the gutters, but I pulled him out yesterday. But that's not it, cmon guess something else!

Hmmmmm . . . Let's see . . . "Rarity taps on her chin, thinking." You had something delightful for breakfast this morning dear?

Well . . . . I don't think Apple Pie for breakfast is what you call delightful Rarity. It is tasty, but that's not it either! Guess some more! Oh! How about you Fluttershy? ”Pinkie stares down at Fluttershy making her uncomfortable to reply."

I . . . Uh . . . Well . . . Is it, uh. . . . . "Pressured, she immediately hides behind Twilight.” I-I think Twilight knows Pinkie . . . Why not ask her instead. . . .

“Twilight face hoofed and walks up to Pinkie.” Pinkie, we can’t think of anything else to guess. So can you Please tell us what’s got you all excited about?

Oh fine! you're no fun at this. . . Anyway . . . I got a letter from Mom and Dad which I never expected them to send me unless it’s Super SUPER Important! I wanted to write them back because I missed them so So much! But I wasn’t sure what to reply . . . I was gonna greet back like: hi Mom and Dad or, Hey Mom and Dad or, or Howdy Ma and Pa, ok that last one sounded like Applejack saying that but stil-

GGRRRRRR . . . ”Rainbow dash yells at Pinkie.” Pinkie! Just give it to us straight! We don't have all day.

Well, actually Rainbow . . . ”Applejack walks up to Pinkie and Rainbow dash.” We’re in the middle of a house cleani-

Castle Decorating! "Rarity corrects Applejack from the corner of the hall.”

”She yells back at Rarity in reply." Like I Was Sayin! "She then turns back to Pinkie.” We're doing a little cleanin around the castle up till sundown, so that means we had all day to listen to Pinkie here.

Whatever. "Rainbow dash looks back to Pinkie." Just tell us what's the Big news is.

Oh, right. Sorry . . . So anyway, I got a letter from Ma and Pa and it’s the best news I’ve ever received since I moved here! Look! You should read what it said! ”Pinkie Pie gave the letter to Twilight. She looks at the letter and then at her friends, who are eager to know what it is. Twilight clears her throat and reads it out loud.”

Ahem . . .

Our dearest Pinkamena

We first like you to know that me and your Pa missed you dearly since your last visit with the Apple family. And hope that you will come and visit us again soon. So today we have great news for you that we’re sure you’ll be happy to hear.

A special pony is moving to Ponyville to live with you this Friday. I know you two have been waiting for this moment to meet each other after so long. I’m sure you’re very familiar with who that special pony might be. If you have guessed it by now then you're right, it’s none other than-

YOUR COUSIN?!

~ End of chapter 1

Author's Note

"Bad Lands" is found on the lower left of Dodge city.

Stamps the Mail pony is a last-minute made-up OC pony (who hasn't had a character design for now) He's also one of Derpy Hoove's workmates. He also forgets small things like calling Pinkie Pie Miss Pie.

Modesty Chapter 1 : Cousins

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 2: Cousins (Revamped)

“From what Twilight read the letter, everyone is surprised. That Pinkie Pie has an unknown cousin, who's moving into Ponyville and live with her. Knowing that they already met Maud Pie and knew about Pinkie’s other young siblings, they never expected that she might possibly have a cousin. While all were still surprised about the news, Rarity ask Pinkie Pie to break the silence.”

My My Pinkie Pie. We didn't know you have a cousin.

"Pinkie quickly replied." Oh yes! She lives in a super faraway place! As in outside Equestria! If I remember, it's somewhere at a place called Uhh. . . Milany? Uh no. . . . Mitanie? No what was it . . . Mivaline? “She knocks her noggin, trying to recall.” Oooh what was it again ? . . .

Wait. "Twilight awkwardly guesses her answer." P-Pinkie, you're not trying to say Mitaly aren't you?

Oh, that’s it! Mitaly! Good guess Twilight! “Pinkie giggled.” It’s a funny name for a city, don’t you girls think?

“Rarity's opens her mouth in shock at what Pinkie pie said." M-Mitaly?! D Mitaly?! D-darling are you saying that your cousin is from M-Mitaly?

Uhh duh, off-course she is. "Pinkie goes up to Rarity, closing her mouth." Lasted I checked, she has a house there that works just like Sugar Cube Corners and-

“Rarity then pulls Pinkie close to her face, and their noses touch.” YOU’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE?!

Again . . . Uhh duh, off-course I have. It was nothing special or anything there just a bunch of old broken-down castles everywhere.

You mean Ruins . . . "Twilight answered.” That's what they called their Pinkie.

That's what I said Twil-

No, I mean Ruins, you know . . . . What remains of Pony-made architecture, structures that were once complete, as time went by over thousands of years?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure someone's castle got broken down and doesn't have the time or money to fix it. "Pinkie said cluelessly." Talk about a bad investment over there am I right Rainbow? "She nudges her elbow at Rainbow dash." Ah? Ah? Am I right Rainbow? Or Am I righ-

Ugghhh!! we're losing topic here! "Rainbow dash shrugs off Pinkie Pie." What's so special about this Mitaly place Twilight?

Well, if you must know, Mitaly is known as one of the most ancient places in Equestria. Based on my small research about it, it’s where the first alicorns train themselves in battle during the time of shadows. It’s also the rarest place to visit due to its incredibly far distance from Equestria lands and-

"Rarity cuts into Twilight's conversation." It’s known for its magnificent qualities! Their food, The art, Its atmosphere, and Ah! Not to mention their en-genius designs of wardrobes! AHHH! "She spins around and leans over to Applejacks's back." It would be like a dream to even stay there for at least a day!

Uhh, I think that's enough day dreamin Rarity. "She pushes Rarity off her back." So what's yo cousin like Pinkie?

Well, we're the same age that's for sure Applejack. Oh! And my sisters use to tell me that she's just like me If I ever learn proper manners. I don't know what they mean by that? . . .

"Rainbow dash sarcastically comments." Right, And I'm sure she's just as unique as you or your sister Maud too. . .

"Twilight calls out to Rainbow dash." Rainbow! You weren't supposed to remind Pinkie about how we didn't get along with her relatives.

I know, it's just that whenever Pinkie introduces us to one of her relatives. They're either boring, rough, or have super pony abilities, or all three.

Don't be ridiculous Rainbow. "Twilight replied." I'm sure her cousin will be fine with us once we get to know her well, right Pinkie?

"Pinkie jumps in between them and replies." Yup! That's right. You girls don't need to worry about anything. After all, Pizzaniac is the kind of mare who gets along with everyone!

Uhh . . . . Pizza who now? "Applejack asked." Come again Sugarcube?

Oh, Pizzaniac is my cousin’s first name by the way. But her full name is Pizzaniac Peach Pie, and calling her by her full name makes my tongue twist. "Pinkie giggled." Soooo I always call her Pizza pie, because it's much easier. Don't you girls think so?

. . . . . .

Hmmm . .Uhh . . . "The ponies looked at Fluttershy and signals her to give a proper reply." I-I think it's a wonderful nickname Pinkie pie. I-I'm sure your cousin is a very nice pony too and we're all excited to meet her. . . .

Oh, I'm sure you all will! Aaaaaand, you'll be the first five friends she'll make when she steps into Ponyville! AHHH!!! "Pinkie smiled and skips around her friends." I'm so nervoucited!!

So how soon is your cousin will be here Pinkie darling? "Rarity asked."

Oh, about three days from now, but who's counting? "Gasp!" I do! Sorry girls, I gotta go and plan for my cousin's welcome to Ponyville party! "Pinkie swoops out of the castle in a flash, then she swoops back in after a second." Uh, you girls wouldn't mind if I skip this one for today?

Sure Pinkie I don't see why n-

Neat! Thanks Twilight! bye! "Pinkie swoops out of the castle again, just as fast as how she arrived earlier."

not . . . .

W-Well she sure is excited about her cousin’s move to ponyville.

This is Pinkie Pie we're talking about Fluttershy. "Rainbow dash replied as she closes the castle doors." Pinkie's always excited when it comes to new ponies.

Well, her cousin ain't new to her Rainbow. "Applejack replied while sweeping the floor." And besides, it sounds like she hasn't seen her for like a couple of years or so.

But still, aren't you girls worried about this for a minute?

Why would we ever be worried Rainbow darling? "Rarity picks up the curtains she made, placing them in a pile." It's not like things would change if Pinkie's cousin comes to live in Ponyville.

Rarity's right Rainbow. "Said Twilight." We'll just have to make a good impression and get to know her cousin better. This time, we won't let anything happen between them, like how it ended up with her sister Maud Pie.

Uhhhhhh . . . . "They all recall and felt guilty about the incident that day."

Alright! Let's get these curtains done and we'll have the castle ready for Pinkie's cousin's arrival. Chop chop girls.

Right! "The ponies agree with Twilight and resume back to cleaning up the castle for their special new visitor."

Arrival day

"The ponies are already at the train station, sitting on the bench as Pinkie Pie skips around in excitement. She couldn't control herself. Knowing in a couple of minutes, she'll be reuniting with her long distant cousin."

AHHHH!! I- Can’t- Believe- It! The day is finally here girls, today's the day Pizza and I will live together! Oh! We’re gonna have such a great time!

Pinkie . . .

We're gonna play board games all the time! And going strolling around the park all the time!!

Pinkie . . .

We're gonna have a family pie picnic, but just the two of us!!

Pinkie . . .

And what's best of all is that we can get to do those things every day! Because she's staying in Ponyville! Forever and ever and ever and ever an-

Pinkie Pie! Will you stay still?! "Twilight caught Pinkie Pie in her magic bubble." We can't see your cousin when you're moving around so much.

Sorry, Twilight but I'm super excited to meet my cousin again. Also moving around is the only way she would notice I'm in the station, waiting for her! ”She bounces off and rolls around like a hamster in its ball."

Just let her run loose Twilight. "Rainbow dash chills on the bench, wearing her sunglasses." No use in calming her down. "she then pulls them down and looks at Twilight." She's been excited since this morning.

"Sigh" . . . Well I guess it can't be helped then, we might as well wait for her to stop. "Twilight takes her seat and reads a book."

"Rarity calls out to Pinkie." Oh, Pinkie darling. If I may ask, what is your cousin like before you met her?

Oh, this I gotta hear. "Rainbow Dash closes in, eager to listen to what Pinkie Pie might say." I bet she's one of those "Defy reality kind of pony" or whatnot.

Shush! Don't mind Rainbow there Pinkie. So what is she like to you?

I don't mind at all. Uh, let's see . . . I remember Pizza is one elegant filly. Always on her best behavior, Always greets visitors and, always has her mane tied. Huh? I guess that's what my sisters meant by we're the same if I got manners.

I can't imagine you being like that Sugarcube . . . "Applejack tries to picture Pinkie pie with manners." Nope, couldn't see it still.

Well me neither! "Pinkie giggled." So anyway, She lives with her Papa name Pasta. He's my uncle by the way and a brother-in-law to my Dad! Like I said last time. Just like Sugar Cube Corners, she lives in her restaurant, they call it a Pizza parlor. Pretty weird if you think about it. Oh! As for the name . . . hmmmmm . . . . Let's see . . . . . What is it called again? "Pinkie knocks her noggin." Oh! It’s called Cheesy Round Caters.

A Pizza parlor called: Cheesy? Round? Really?

Shush Rainbow! Let Pinkie tell us more about her cousin. Ehem, continue darling. . .

I know it's a silly name for a restaurant Rainbow. But it was always busy there and she always helps her Papa every day.

Oh, that sounds tiring Pinkie . . . "Fluttershy said while carrying her fruit basket." B-But what about her Mother? does she help too?

About that . . . . . M-My aunt . . . . I-I mean . . . Her Mother . . . Well . . She was gone when cousin was still a young foal.

Oh, I-I'm sorry I asked . . . .

No, It’s ok Fluttershy. "Pinkie feels sad as her ears drop." They don't seem to topic about my aunt when we visited. . . maybe because they don't want cousin to be sad . . . .

I feel her Sugarcube, neither do I. "Applejack walks up to Pinkie." Granny Smith keeps a lay-low on the topic of how my parents died. Honestly, I wouldn't mind not remembering it. Only the good memories they had with us are all that matter. And I'm sure yo cousin does the same with her Mama too . . .

I hope so Applejack . . . . But still, we had a wonderful time when I visited her years ago. But now that she's coming to live with me in Ponyvile . . . .I-I don't know if she's still the same ol Pizza pie I know. . .

"Then Rainbow sarcastically comments." Yeah, after what you told us about your cousin was like. I'm pretty sure after all these years she’s now into the whole elegant and fashion stuff like Rarity over here.

“Rarity heard Rainbow dash and walks up to her.” Oh really Darling? Is there something you wish to tell me Rainbow dash?

Hey, I’m just saying since Pinkie Pie didn't see her cousin for a long time. Obviously, she changed into one of those Non-fun elegant ponies.

Oh? Sounds to me, you make it sound like it's a bad thing.

I wouldn't say that it's a bad thing, I’m just not comfortable dealing with elegant ponies.

Well. I don't know darling. Looks to me like it's more than just not putting up with any elegant ponies. I think you're also referring to me as well.

Woah! Just take it easy Rare's. Chill down . . . I didn't mean it like th-

No, Now that I think about it. I can tell you've been holding down a grudge against me whenever I ask you a favor to wear my works for me.

Well yeah! It's only because it takes you forever, to decide if your outfits are good enough, when I could be practicing flying for the Wonder-bolts recruitment!

You can't rush perfection Rainbow. Besides you're flying practice, is just nothing more than just you zooming around the place, messing up the clouds along the way!!

Hey! That still counts as practice!

How is making cloud angels count as practice?!

"The two mares then headbutts one another, as both of them were getting each other's nerves."

Hey! Break it up will ya! “Applejack breaks in and pushes them apart.” We can’t be all fightin like this, especially when Pinkie's cousins' gonna be here soon. So quit it!

Tell that to Rarity over here, She's overreacting about my honest opinion.

Well, that's some level of honesty you got there darling!

Girls stop fighting! "Twilight barges in." You can't be showing attitudes like this in public, especially on Pinkie's special day!

Hey, At least, I'm not the one who's being all paranoid over some opinion!

“Gasp” I am not being paranoid over such little things!!

Well, you are right now!

“As the ponies are in an argument, the train appears from the distance and heads close to the station. Fluttershy notices and goes in to tell her friends.”

U-Umm. . . Girls the train is here. Y-You can all stop fighting now, please . . .

I most certainly am not!

G-Girls please . . .

Are too!

Am not!

“The train finally arrives at the station and slowly stops. But the ponies are too distracted by their argument, and poor Fluttershy desperately tries to get their attention.”

G-Girls the trains’ here . . .

Twilight, do something to make them stop. “Applejack said as she tries to push Rarity and Rainbow dash apart.”

Alright! I'm going to say this one last time to stop and- . . . H-Hey! Are you two even listening to me?! UHHGGG!!

“While Rarity and Rainbow dash are still at it, Twilight and Applejack get behind them and pulls them apart. Pinkie Pie still rolls around inside the bubble without noticing the train arrived. Irritated, Fluttershy had no choice but to cover her ears and scream.”

I SAID ENOUGH!! “Fluttershy's voice echoes all over the station. Being heard by everyone, including her friends. They finally stopped fighting and notices the train.”

“The magic bubble pops, and Pinkie drops to the ground. She also notices the train just arrived. She gasps as she points at it.” She's here! She's Here! "She quickly ran towards the train, while the rest follows her."

"Twilight flies passes Fluttershy." Fluttershy, why didn't you tell us the train is already here?

But you we're . . . You see I was calling you girls. . . . You can't hear and . . . so I screamed and. . . . Nevermind . . .

“As they got closer, the train door opens, and steam comes out, fogging the station. The ponies cough from the smoke, as Pinkie looks at the ponies who are getting out of the train." Cousin! Cousin Pizza!! are you here!? "She looked and looked but no sign of her cousin. As the last ponies exit the train, she peeks inside and sees that the whole train is empty." C-Cousin? . . . .

. . . . . . .

"The ponies felt bad for Pinkie, seeing her sitting outside the train door. Even more when they are distracted from their argument earlier. They look at each other, setting aside their issues."

Pinkie are you ok? . . . . "Twilight calls to Pinkie." Maybe she's on a different train. . . Let's head back to the castle and get you something to eat first. We'll come back here as soon as we're full.

Ok . . . . "Pinkie's ears drops down and turned back to her friends. The ponies felt bad and walked haft way towards her. As Pinkie goes up to them, suddenly someone grabs her shoulder. Pinkie looked behind and saw,a mare with a cheesy yellowish mane with a peach-colored coat, and a cutie mark much like hers. Like looking at a mirror, she can't believe her eyes, the mare standing right in front of her is." Co-Cousin?

Hey cousin Pinkie.

. . . . .

I'm here now just as promised. .

. . . . . . .

O-Oh! S-Sorry, it took so long to get here. I got to let go of a few things an-

“Pinkie couldn't hold back her tears, she smiles at her cousin and gives her a big hug.” Y-You're finally here . . . . I missed you so much cousin Pizza . .

I missed you too Pinkie . . .

And by the way . . . .

Yeah? . . .

You came just in time. . .

Good to hear . . . .

“The ponies stand and witness a touching reunion between cousins. As they did, Rainbow dash notices something.”

Uh, girls. is it just me or does Pinkie's cousin look exactly like he-

“Applejack stops Rainbow dash from saying anything else.” Just let them have their moment for now.

"A reunion of two cousins living apart for years finally meet once again."

~ End of chapter 2

Author's Note

In this chapter, there were talks about Mitaly The hometown of Pinkie Pie's cousin. Mitaly is actually my Equestria version of Italy (No surprise really).

I put a lot of mystery into that place just as much as the Everfree forest. Also there, her cousin lives with her father Pasta in a Pizza Parlor. Sound pretty darn familiar right? (off-course you know the reference).

The tricky part of writing this chapter is when Rarity and Rainbow dash is in an argument. Which is rare for those two to fight compared to just Rarity and Applejack. I like to make the conflict good enough for everyone to read.

Modesty Chapter 2 : Just like her

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 3 : Just like her (Revamped)

Oh, cousin! I'm so glad you’re finally here!

It’s good to finally be here Pinkie . . Now would you mind letting me g-

I've been waiting like forever to see you again! Do you feel the same? Do yah?

Not a day passes by, that wouldn't feel the same about it, an-

I knew it! I knew it! Now that you're here, you're going to have The Best Stay EVER!

Uh, Pinkie . . . "Applejack walks up at the Pie cousins." Didn't mean to get in your way on your reunion but uh, I think your cousin could use a little air.

Little air? Oh! "Without noticing, Pinkie is squishing her cousin too tight. She immediately lets go of Pizza." Whoops sorry about that cousin.

It's ok . . . I remember you hug me that tight when we first met.

Oh yeah, I did, did I?

Uh, huh . . . I guess from now on I should get used to being hugged by you. "The two Pie cousin laughs while the rest of the ponies look at them."

"Rainbow dash swoops in at the Pie cousins." Ok then, now that's out of the way. Uh Pinkie, aren't you gonna introduce us to your cousin?

Oh right, "Pinkie giggled." Where are my manners? Cousin Pizza, these are my Best friends in Ponyville! Best friends in Ponyville meet my Best Pie cousin from Mitaly!

Hello! "The Ponies greeted Pizza pie and Pizza pie did the same."

H-Hello there. . . . "Pizza leans at her cousin." Pinkie. Are these your friends cousin Marble and cousin Lime are talking about?

Yup, they sure are! This is Rainbow Dash, she's one of the fastest pegasi around! No pony could ever beat her in a race, she's also a member of the Wonderboltz, and Oh! Oh! She can also perform awesome tricks and even the amazing, spectacular, famous sonic Rainboom!

Yup, that's me. Nice to meet you Pizza pie! And hey, if you wanna do something cool or awesome stuff, then I'm your mare for the job.

Oh neat, "Pizza pie hoof bumps at Rainbow dash." I'll look forward to it.

"Applejack rolled her eyes." Oh, brother . . .

This is Applejack. She lives in Sweet Apple Acres where the apple trees can be seen for miles and miles grown there! We sometimes helped her out bucking all the apples and making apple cider and selling them like hotcakes! She’s also the most honest and reliable pony in Equestria! And to that, you can say that she's an apple to the core.

"Applejack tips her hat." Please to meet ya Pizza pie. Hope you stopped by at the barn to get a taste of some of my granny Smith's sweet apple pie. I guarantee you'll love it.

I'll take you up on your offer. "Pizza pie smiles and shakes hooves." And nice to meet you Applejack.

"Pinkie pulls in Fluttershy after she sees her slowly hiding behind the luggage." This shy mare here is Fluttershy. She has all sorts of animals in her own little oasis at home. She talks to them and takes good care of them! And sometimes ponies start to call her the critter whisperer behind her back. "Pinkie giggled."

Wa-Wait, they do? . . . . P-Pinkie, w-why didn't you say anythin- "Pinkie pushes Fluttershy facing Pizza pie." Oh! Uh . . . . U-Um hello, It's nice to meet you Pizza pie . . . And welcome to Ponyville. . . .

Hi there Fluttershy. Well, I got a pet too, but I only have one, who's been with me forever. Her name is colours. "She grabs her pouch and looks inside for her pet." Colours, come out and say hi to everyone.

"From the pouch, outcomes a little chameleon crawling its way to Pizza's mane, staring ponies with its ditzy eyes."

OH! You brought Colours with you too?! That's super fantastic! Looks like Gummy here's gonna have a new little playmate. "Pinkie reaches in her mane and pulls out Gummy, noming on it."

Awwww . . . Hello little one, you look soo cute. I-I barely seen anypony who has a chameleon pet before. . .

Well, she's cute all right, but sometimes she's a bit of a clutz. "Colours falls off from Pizza's mane and into the ground. She bumps into Gummy who is just staring at her point-blank." She's also quite a hoof-full to handle.

Oh, I see . . . I-If you want, you can take Colours at my cottage to play with the other animals. I guarantee she'll makes some new friends there. If it's alright with you I mean . . . .

Sure, sounds fun! Right Colours? "Colours just stared at gummy, eyes looking in different directions." I think that's a yes.

Um . . . If I may Fluttershy dear.

Oh, of course . . . "Fluttershy moves aside carrying Colours." Excuse me Pizza pie but, may I borrow Colours for a while? . . . .

Sure thing Fluttershy. Colours be good ok?

"Colours looks at Pizza pie as she's carried away by Fluttershy." Now let's get you something to eat . . . you must be starving . . .

"Rarity walks up to Pizza pie." Ehem, Hello, my name is Rarity. I too am Pinkie Pie's best friend. Now, you may not know but I do run a-

Fashion boutiques here in Ponyville, Canterlot, and Manehatten? Contain only the on-the-top styles of gowns and dresses designed by you truly.

Uhhh . . . . ."Rarity is left speechless and surprised." T-that's indeed true, but H-how did you know I run a boutique? or even three of them?

Oh! Oh! "Pinkie bounces in their conversation." Oh-oh! Let me guess . . . it's a hunch? right cousin?

"Pizza nods and replied." Well, I heard it from your sisters back on the rock farm, some ponies in the train reading this pamphlet, "Pizza pie pulls out a pamphlet of Rarity's boutique from her pouch." and Photofinish told me.

P-P-Photofinish told you? Y-You know Photofinish?

Well yeah, she's one of my personal photographers in Mitaly. Also one of my closest friends there.

C-Closest friend, you say d-darling?

She is. since we were kids. She moves in with her family in Mitaly a few days after Cousin Pinkie pie's visit. She took photography classes till she gained her cutiemark. She and I met when we worked together on some projects.

A-And what is your occupation on that project may I ask? . . . .

Oh nothing major really, just a model and a spokes-mare to my Papa's restaurant. Why'd you ask?

Look! see! "Pinkie shoves a magazine at Rarity's face, with pictures of Pizza pie on the cover." it just so happens this also comes with the letter from before. Luckily Mrs. Cake gave it to me as soon as I got home!

Oh, nothing, I was just curious that's all . . . "Rarity notices something familiar from one of Pizza pie's pictures in the magazine." A-Are you w-wearing my designs darling?

Ah, that's right I did. Photofinish recommends wearing some of your designs during some shots. A lot of ponies like the dresses you made, they even assume that we're close and making dresses for me in those shots. So in short you got a fanbase back home.

FA-FA-FANBASE?! . . . Oh, I-I see. I'm sorry dear, but if you all excuse me just for a moment . . . ."Rarity turns around, she takes a few steps and fainted."

. . . .

Uhhh . . . . Is she always like that?

"Rainbowdash swooped in to check on Rarity." Most likely when It comes to meeting a high-class pony, but she's fine.

Me high-class? "Pizza chuckled." No I'm not, aside from where I'm born. I'm just like anypony else. . ."As Pizza pie turns back to her cousin, she notices Twilight standing behind Pinkie pie." Hey . . . You're Princess Twilight Sparkle am I right?

"Twilight teleports in front of Pizza pie as she introduces herself." The one and only. And as one of Pinkie pies' dearest friends let me just say it is an honor to have you staying in Ponyville.

Aww shucks. . . . "She bows to Twilight." I'm no special pony to be welcomed by a Princess like you.

O-Oh, no need to bow Pizza. "Twilight lift Pizza's hoof up." And of course you are. After all, we are your cousin's best friends. It's our duty to make a first good impression of ourselves. . . ."Twilight leans behind Pizza pie and sees her friends. Fluttershy petting colours, Applejack fanning Rarity with her hat, and Rainbow dash pulls over a cloud and dumbs Rain on the both of them." Uhh . . . . P-Plus Pinkie Pie here even throw you a party on your arrival.

Twilight's right cousin. "Pinkie leaps over Twilight and lands between them." We made you the biggest welcome party ever!! Taking place right here, at The Biiiig Castle! "Pinkie grabs her cousin's head and points her in the tree castles' direction. A beam of light flashes down on it, shining across Ponyville with all its harmonious glory."

"As the ponies reached the castle, Spike greets them at the entrance. Pinkie pie drags her cousin inside giving her a tour of the castle, while the rest follows them."

Here is the main hall,

Over here is the art gallery.

Hallways,

The Library,

Hallways,

The Kitchen,

More hallways,

Twilight's Book storage,

Hallways with art glasses!

"As the ponies keep following behind Pinkie and Pizza pie, Rainbowdash is getting impatient." Uhhgg. . . How much longer is this tour?! We've been walking for hours!

Actually we've been walking for ten minutes, and you're flying. "Twilight replied sarcasticly." So stop complaining Rainbow, have a little patience just for today.

WHATEVER! J-Just tell Pinkie pie to get on with the par-

And over here is the best part of the castle. "Pinkie shows Pizza pie the big door leading to the last room. She opens it and everyone steps in." The Friendship table!

"The room is decorated with balloons, confetties, streamers, and a banner that says "Welcome cousin Pizza pie" with a drawn picture of herself. Pizza pie is surprised and happy to see it."

So, cousin, do you like it? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? "She smiles at her cousin while her friends are behind her."

This . . . This is Perfect! Thank you so much cousin!! "Pizza pie hugs her cousin tight." You made me feel really welcome here.

I'm sooo glad you feel that way! I prepared it just how I use to throw you a party back at your home!

That's right you did cousin! And I'll this cherish moment just like before.

I bet you do. And now that were all here. "Pinkie hops on top of the friendship table." Are you ponies ready to party rock?!

Yeah!!

Good! Let's get this party started! "Pinkie pulls out her party cannon and fires it all over the room."

"The ponies partied at the tree castle. Everyone is laughing, playing, and dancing together. Hours passed, and the ponies sits in a circle facing a glowing lava lamp in the middle. Pinkie pie shares her adventures with her friends to Pizza pie."

And then everyone in Equestria showed up on top of the hill, all ready to face Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, and little miss whatsherface-

"Twilight face-hoofed and corrects Pinkie." For the last time Pinkie it's cozzy glow, COZZY GLOW.

Right, right. So anyway, everyone was there. We joined in too. It was a tough fight but we gave it our best. It didn't take longer than five minutes, we won! We took all the stolen magic, and give it back to everyone and we all lived happily ever after. The end.

. . . . .

Uhh . . . "Applejack leans over to Rarity." Did it really take five minutes?

At this point darling, I can't be bothered to question it.

Right. . . .

"Pizza pie applauded at her cousin's see stories." Wow, that's amazing cousin! I never knew you helped save Equestria countless times! So what happened to them?

Oh, they were turned to stone, and just so those meanies will never bother anyone again.

Oh . . . . Uhhhh . . . .

You can see them somewhere at the center of Ponyville, serving as the new wishing well!

Yeah, a wishing well . . . . really? "Rainbow dash looks at Twilight." You could've handed them over to Princess Celestia or locked them in Tartarus or something like that?

I know it's silly Rainbow, but trust me, having them placed in plain sight is more certain that they are watched 24/7. "Twilight grabs her telescope and flies to the window. She takes a look at the statues using the telescope, she sees ponies passing by and throwing bits at the pond surrounding it." Besides I've done the math, All these villains are on the loose in the first place because there's little supervision if they are placed somewhere isolated.

That's a mighty valid point Twilight. "Said Applejack." Sometimes the best way to keep an eye on danger is placing them in harm's way.

That seems like a risky move to me. Why not just get guards to keep an eye on them?

Oh please Rainbow dash. "Rarity sips on her tea." I thought you were all about taking risks? why the concern all of a sudden?

I know you're still mad at me from earlier Rarity.

What ever do you mean darling?

Whatever, but still. Hello?! "Rainbow dash points out the window." Those three out there are one of the biggest threats in Equestria aside from discord.

Discord Who? "Pizza pie asked."

Oh, he's that one guy who has a head of a pony and mixed parts for a body. You can't miss him. He really lived up to his name as the Spirit of chaos.

Chaos you say? . . .

Yes, Pizza pie. But he's not all bad. . . . "Fluttershy joins in the conversation." N-Not like before I mean . . . . he's been such a help to us and quite a sweetheart. . .

"Applejack chuckled." My bad sugarcube but, Uhh . . . are you sure we're talkin about the same Discord Fluttershy? . . . Cause he sure has a funny way of being helpful.

Applejack it's true. These past few days, he hasn't used his magic to trick ponies. He really proved himself to be a fine citizen of Ponyville.

Welp, so long as you're around to lecture him. "Applejack grabs a cup of cider off the table and drinks." Best to keep remindin ya.

I-I guess . . . Say, why not I let you meet Discord Pizza? It'd be nice if the two of you know each other an-

No!!

. . . . . . . .

Uhh. . . I-I mean . . . I'd like to meet this Discord guy. But my focus today is to spend time with my cousin. "Pizza pie grabs Pinkie pie holding her shoulder." We got some catching up to do after all.

Yup, that's right! I even made a list for us to do! "Pinkie pie pulls out a list and unravels it. The end rolls to the ground and exits the room."

Oh ok then . . . Some other time I guess. . .

Neat. Uh . . . excuse me, but I gotta go to the little mares room. . . . "Pizza pie stood up and heads out of the room, she looked at both sides of the hallway confused." Uh . . . where is it exactly?

Oh! oh! "Pinkie pie hops towards her cousin." I'll show you where it is cousin. Sorry girls we'll be back in just a minute. "Pinkie leads the way while Pizza pie follows behind her."

"As soon as the two Pie cousins left the room, the other ponies look at each other, they felt odd about what happened earlier."

"Rainbow dash breaks the silence." What was that all about?

What do you mean? "Twilight asked."

She just went full 1 80 on Fluttershy's offer to meet Discord. Not that it's a surprise or anything that no one wants to meet him.. "Rainbow dash turn to Fluttershy." No offense I mean.

N-None taken Rainbow. . . . .

I'm sure it was nothing Rainbow. Just take a sit and let's wait for them.

"Pinkie and Pizza pie are heading their way to the bathroom." How could I forget to show the bathrooms in my castle tour? it's not like it's that important to know where it is, especially right now. Come to think of it, I don't think ponies ever mention any bathrooms at a tour, and funny that this castle is made of a crystal tree that turned into a castle because Twilight's old tree house burned down an-

. . . . . No . . . It couldn't be . . . here? Of all the places to be, why in Ponyville. . . . "Pizza pie is lost in thoughts while she follows Pinkie."

Cousin? Cousin Pizza pie? "Pinkie waves her hoofs close to Pizza pie's face." Ponyville to cousin, come in cousin.

Huh?! huh?! "Pizza pie snaps back and looks at Pinkie." S-Sorry . . . I wasn't paying attention. . .

Well, we're here. "Pinkie points at the bathroom door." Now, don't take long ok cousin? we gotta get back to the girls and share more stories.

Sure thing Pinkie. . .

"A few minutes passed and the Pie cousins return to their friends who were waiting for them."

Sorry, it took so long girls. "Pinkie pie sat down and drops some cookies on the table." I had to grab something in the kitchen for us to munch on. "Pinkie Giggled." Hope you don't mind Twilight?

It's alright Pinkie, just help yourselves.

"The ponies each grab a piece and went back to their seats."

So what did we miss? "Pizza pie asked."

"Twilight lowers her book and replied." Nothing much, Just chatting about how close you and Pinkie are.

Why wouldn't we? I've been waiting to see Pinkie again ever since. She's one fun cousin to be with. "Pizza looks at Pinkie and smiles, Pinkie smiles back with her teeth covered in cookie mush."

Well, I agree with ya Pizza. "Applejack hands a napkin to Pinkie pie." It was fun having Pinkie here for a cousin.

Oh, Really? So is Pinkie pie your cousin too Applejack?

Uhh. . . not to the point that it's true, it was a small misunderstanding. Long story short, One of Granny Smith's folks misread the family tree, so technically we aint from the same branch of the apple tree. . . .

Oh, that's too bad though. I can imagine what would the family name be?

"They all stand together and yelled." The Apple Pie Family! JINX!! "They all laughed including Applejack and Pizza pie."

Ehem. . . Soo uhh, Pizza darling. I've been meaning to ask you. What made you decide to move to Ponyville in the first place?

Well Rarity, it’s a long story too. But in short, it was a promise I made to cousin Pinkie back then. A promise I kept until the day we meet again.

How sweet of you determine to keep such a promise to darling Pinkie. May I ask what that promise was dear?

Well, You're looking at it.

Oh, uhhh well that's uh . . .

. . . . .

"Rainbow dash flies in close to Pizza pie, confused." Uhhh . . . I don't see it.

. . . . .

It's me. How I look like is my promise to her.

Uh, what? "Applejack replied." Your promise is.

By looking just like her? "Rainbow dash scratches her head." You serious?

Yes, pretty serious.

. . . . "The ponies went silent, trying to come up with a proper response to Pizza pie."

Sigh . . . . Don't pretend you don't notice it. I can tell from your faces earlier, that you were confused when I step out of the train looking exactly like Pinkie pie.

. . . .

Well, I notice it. "Rainbow dash bluntly replied, then get elbowed by Applejack." WHAT?

Hmmmm. . . . "Pinkie rubs her chin." I do remember you promise me that. But what I don't remember is if it was a Pinkie promise . . .

It was a pinkie promise. It was right after you head home. In fact, it was our first pinkie promise.

Ah! That's right! How could I forget the very first pinkie promise?! "Pinkie closes in Pizza's face." Come to think of it, you do look different than we last met. . .

"Rainbow dash face-hoofed." You just notice it now?!

I don't just look different, I feel different too. So uh-

"Pinkie pie hugs her cousin tight." Oh cousin, you're still sweet as ever! You haven't changed a bit! Well except for the part you look like me now but not as pink.

Really Pinkie? How come you haven't realized it earlier?

Well Twilight, I was so happy to see my cousin so much, that it didn't cross my mind that she gave herself a huge make over!

. . . . .

As expected from Pinkie pie. "Rarity replied." This isn't the first time she's been this clueless.

I can tell Rarity. "Pizza pie giggled." And with that, I guess you can say that "I am my own Pinkie pie.

Wow! That's one way to think about it. "The Pie cousin laughs and hoof bumps together." But still, I can't believe you actually did. Even our cutiemarks are similar! "Pinkie closes in her flank next to Pizza's, comparing their cutiemarks." It's like you're my reflection come to life!

Uh . . . Yeah, reflection right. "Pizza awkwardly smiles at Pinkie."

"The ponies look at each other, thinking the same question. They all nodded and looks at Pizza pie. They pushed Applejack in, letting her be the one to ask the question."

So, uhh . . . sugarcube, can I call you that?

Sure it's fine by me Applejack.

Uhh, Me and the girls were wondering how you and Pinkie pie met. I-I mean we just knew from it from her letter that you were coming to Ponyville. And Not that I'm bein nosey between cousins, but just out of curiosity.

Yeah, and what made you think looking like Pinkie could make a good promise to her?

Rainbow!! "Twilight calls out to Rainbow dash." That's not part of the question we-

No, she's right. You all deserve a proper explanation about all this. It's no use in ignoring it. . . .

Oh, Darling. It's fine if you're not ready to tell us. We'll just leave that aside-

No, you're my cousins’ friends so it's only fair for you girls to know the past me. . . . the old me. . .

. . . .

"The ponies gathered together as Pizza pie sits in the center, all eager to listen to her story.

It all started when I was a little filly . . .

10 years ago.

I was a different pony. I acted different, sound different, and even my mane was different. I live with Papa at our small Pizza parlor. Every day it was all work, work, work. Papa is a type of pony who's so busy, that he doesn’t spend time with his only child. Mama died when I was three, I couldn't remember what happen or if I was there when it happen. We only have a picture of her at our small altar where we offer food. Papa told me that Mama always fixes my mane whenever it gets messy, she even grooms it constantly to keep it neat and pretty. Papa helped too, it was one of the few times we spent together as a family.

Since then, Papa felt so sad, he drowns all his focus at his restaurant. And what he wants from me is to be an elegant pony just like Mama was. Polite, Reliable, and, never complain. I don't know why, but if it's the only way to make Papa proud of me, I did it anyway. Even if it means giving up to be myself.

So every day during work, Papa lectures me on running the restaurant, being sophisticated, and having fine taste in dining. I listen to every word Papa says without any comments. I applied all my learnings and became the pony that he always wants me to be. I wasn't comfortable with what I turned into, but seeing my Papa smile again was all that matters.

From that, I completely put aside my needs, hobbies, and my own happiness. I even gave up on finding my cutie mark. My only focus was helping Papa and nothing else. I don't have many friends, so I have all the time to work around at the restaurant. Not soon after, Papa applied me to an agency where I would start promoting our restaurant by modeling.

I appear on some covers in Mitaly and became one of its top models. In short, I help to make our restaurant the talk of the town. Customers are flowing in, almost on a daily basis. Because of that, we spend a lot of time making the orders as a family. I finally did it, I made my Papa proud of me. From then on, I never expected anything else anymore. Until one day everything changed.

"Pizzaniac and her Papa are cataloging the ingredients until someone is knocking on the door." Pizzaniac dear, could you please get the door? I remember I changed the open sign to closed. They must've not noticed it.

Yes, Papa. "She stood up from the table and goes to the door. She opens the door without looking at who it is." I'm sorry, but the restaurant is closed today. Please come back tomorrow and- "As she looked up, it was an old gentle colt standing, and behind him were three fillies. The old colt walks up to her and responds."

Hello, there little one. Is Mr. Pasta home?

"Pizzaniac backs up and replied." Uhh . . . I'm sorry but Papa's busy and-

Pizzaniac, what is taking you so long to get- "Pasta drops the ingredients on the floor, surprised at who's at the door." Igneous . . . . Igneous is that you?

Pasta! "Igneous walks up to Pasta and gave him a big hug." It's been so long.

Indeed it has Igneous. How are you? Your last visit was at our wedding with Mia, though we don't talk much until the reception, it's good to see you, brother.

It's good to see you too. I'm sorry I haven't visited much, Mitaly is quite a far place to go just on a train ride.

I understand brother, but still, you manage to visit anyway. "The Colts laugh and hug once more." So what brings you here to Mitaly?

Other than missing my brother-in-law? Well, I got enough bits from my mining work to bring my little daughters anywhere. So I thought why not use this opportunity to go visit Mitaly and see their long distant uncle?

Oh, Igneous you haven't changed one bit. Always hardworking and kind. "He turns his head to the three fillies, leans down, and looked at them." So this must be your daughters.

"The three fillies walks up to their uncle Pasta."

That's right. These are my sweet angels. Let me introduce them to you, Pasta, this here is.

Lime Stone Pie,

Hello, Uncle!

Marble Pie,

Mmmhmm . . .

And Pinkie Pie,

Hiiyaahh Uncle Pasta!

"The three fillies smiled at their uncle with cheer." We're so nice to meet you uncle!

"Pasta smiled back and pats one of the fillies." Igneous, you sure have such joyful children. They're so polite and adorable too.

Of course, I do. I raised them well. I still do have one more daughter, but she's away on her rock studies and couldn't join us.

Oh is that so, that's amazing to hear. Well brother, I too raise a lovely daughter as well. Pizzaniac could you step up front, please?

Yes, Papa. "She walks up to her uncle and cousins." Ehem . . . Hello Uncle, Hello cousins. My name is Pizzaniac peach pie and it's nice to meet you all. "She gracefully bows to them, showing off her elegance and manners."

I introduce myself to them as politely as I can. I was so nervous, trying to not make a bad impression to my relatives. It was all so sudden too, never met or even heard of them before. When I looked up, one of my cousins smiled at me. It was the pink filly. Her smile is so bright, she gives out that colorful vibe around her. She probably has the freedom she wanted to feel this happy. This is the first time I met a filly like her.

This is the time when I first met cousin Pinkie pie.

~ End of chapter 3

Author's Note

Some say, Imitation is a form of flattery, but in Pizza's case it's a promise to the one filly who changes her life in one visit. Pinkie is the sole reflection of her happiness right before losing a loved one. In this chapter, Pizza tells her new friends in ponyville of how she met her cousin and the promised they made.

Modesty Chapter 3 : After Welcome Party

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 4: My Pinkie promise part 1 (Revamped)

I never expected this kind of visit. Papa never had the time to mention me, that I have relatives on my Mama's side of the family. So it caught me by surprise. I met my Uncle Igneous and three of my cousins. There's still one more, but I don't know who the other one is or what she like. Is she like these three? Or is she different from them? I wouldn't know, In fact, I'm an only child.

Me and cousin Pinkie continued to look eye to eye. Like looking at a mirror, I see myself from her. It's strange, I don't know how to react to it, or what to say. I'll just have to go with the flow for now.

Pizzaniac. “Pasta taps her on the shoulder.” Do you hear me?

Huh? I mean . . . Yes, Papa? What is it?

Kindly show our guests to the living room dear.

"She nods and replied." Yes Papa. Right this way please.

"Igneous and the three fillies follow Pizzaniac to the living room. The walls are filled with the restaurants' history and near the couch, there's a big portrait of Her and her Papa. They were amazed at how successful their lives are. The three fillies ran towards the couch and hops on it like a trampoline. "

Allow me uncle. "Pizzaniac pulls out a chair for him." Please have a seat.

Thank you dear. "He replies and pats Pizzaniac's head." You sure are a polite little missy.

Yes, she is. I raised her to do so. "Pasta brings a cup of tea to Igneous and a tray of cookies for the fillies." Please, help yourselves.

Why thank you Pasta. Lime, Marble, Pinkie, come over here and thank your uncle Pasta.

"The fillies thank their uncle with a smile." Thank you, uncle! " They munch down on the cookies like hungry piglets, while Pizzaniac watches them from behind. Igneous notices his niece and offers her a piece."

Here you go dear.

Oh, thank you but it's okay uncle. I already ea-

Don't mind my daughter Igneous. “Pasta takes the cookie, placing it back on the tray.” She doesn't eat sweets that much.

Aw, cmon now brother. All little fillies love to eat sweets, “Igneous said as he takes another piece.” it's what they do.

But not my daughter. "Pasta stares at down on Pizzaniac as she looks away." Besides, its against her diet.

Diet? “Igneous curiously asked.” How come?

She is not the kind of filly who's interested in sweets. She's a model to this restaurant you see.

Oh is that right? But how would you know that she doesn't eat sweets?

Because I taught her not to.

Looks to me brother, you're trying to avoid her from the things she likes.

Well, you may think so. But she's aware that it's not the way elegant ponies do.

Why are you insisting her to have that kind of mindset?

Because Pizzaniac is my daughter.

. . . .

"As the two colts are having a discussion, the fillies stopped eating and stare at their uncle confused, while Pizzaniac remains silent."

I'm sorry brother. "He puts back the cookie and felt sorry for his niece." I didn't mean to be rude in your household.

No, I should be the one apologizing, I went too far. I've been stressed out lately with all these orders we had to do. "Pasta points him at the counter table filled with requests from customers." And it's not getting any less. Ever since Pizzaniac here won second place for this month's filly-modeling, we got all these orders.

I understand brother. And I didn't know your daughter had such a good reputation here. "He leans on Pizzaniac and smiled." You're quite a celebrity here.

Yes I-I am. "She blushes and smiles back at her uncle." That's why I can't eat sweets. I have to keep myself fit and healthy.

"Igneous chuckled and replied." I see, you're quite joyful too. Much like my daughter Pinkie pie.

"They both look at Pinkie as she munches on more cookies from the tray, while her sisters watch."

Joyful huh . . .

. . . . "He goes up to Pasta and pats on his back." Now brother, you mustn't stress yourself so often. It's not good for you.

Sigh . . . . "Pasta smiles and replies." I suppose you're right, maybe I do need some fresh air.

"Igneous turn his head at the fillies smiling, like nothing happened. But Pizzaniac's still feels guilty that she started the argument earlier. He couldn't help but feel worried for her only niece. He then got an Idea, he winks at her daughters and they winked back, having no clue to what it means, except for Pinkie pie. She understood it and knows exactly what she needs to do."

Say now, why don't we take this opportunity to stroll around town? It has been a while since I last saw Mitaly with Mia.

Uhh . . . Well . . . The place really hasn't changed a bit so there aren't any good places to go.

Now now, Pasta, It's been years since I last stepped here. The one thing I ever wanted from this visit is taking a nostalgic tour with my brother-in-law.

A tour you say? Aren’t your legs tired from all that walking?

Well, I am a bit exhausted but that doesn't stop me from feeling young.

"Pasta laughs and pats Igneous' back." Look at you. Still holding on to that youth of yours.

What can I say, I won't let my middle age get to me. What do you say, brother? Shall we head out?

Sigh. . Very well Igneous. Since you are my guest I wouldn't say no.

"Pasta looked at Pizzaniac and her cousins. Concerned about leaving them at the restaurant alone. He approaches her daughter, pats her head, and looks her in the eye."

Now Pizzaniac. Me and your uncle are going for a short walk around the city, so better entertain your cousins.

"Pizzaniac nods and replied" Yes Papa. I understand.

And be nice to them Pizzaniac. But keep in mind that you're in charge.

Yes, Papa. . .

Also be on your best behavior. Do you understand?

. . . . Yes, Papa.

"Her cousins watch how she was told by her Papa. Pinkie pie felt bad for her new cousin and then quickly smiled. She thought of an Idea to lift up Pizzaniac's spirits. Then, Igneous walks up to them as well."

Now listen here you three. We're a guest here so I want you to be on your best behavior too. Now, you don't wanna be like your cousin over there, being told her father now, won't you?

No Dad. “Lime Pie shakes her head and replies.” We’ll behave, but I'm not sure about Pinkie here though. . .

Huh? Oh! Don't worry Dad. “said Pinkie Pie and winks at him.” We'll sure to behave right Marble?

“Marble looks at Pinkie and her Father.” Mmm . . . Hmmm . . .

See, we'll be fine, you can go on with your youthful stroll now.

Well . . . alright then. "Igneous turns back to Pasta." Shall we get going, brother?

Give me a minute brother. "Pasta packs two bottles of water, placing it in his pouch
." Ok then. Let’s go.

"The two brothers waves at their children and they waved back. They exit the restaurant and walk on the sidewalk. the fillies looks out the window, watching the two colts going to the city. Pinkie pie is still waves at them."

Bye Dad! Bye Uncle Pasta! Enjoy your youthful stroll! Don't take too long. Oh! And bring back some snacks too!

Really Pinkie? "said Lime pie." Snacks already?

What? I get hungry after an hour.

You ate a tray of cookies!

And there were oh, so delicious cookies too! Muuaaahh! Compliments to uncle Pasta "Pinkie giggled."

Oh, brother. "Lime turns to Marble pie." Even here, she can still be as random as back home.

Hmmmm Mmmmm. . .

Papa and Uncle Igneous left to go on a stroll. Leaving me and my cousins alone. I'm not sure how to interact with them. I never had any ponies at my age stayed in the restaurant unless they were customers, especially not my new cousins. What should I do? Should I ignore them? No that's just plain rude. Should I lay them down with ground rules? No. That would make them think I'm too bossy. This is hard, I can't think of anything!

"The Pie siblings turn their heads to Pizzaniac, looking at her." . . . .

Oh great, they're staring at me. Now my cousins think I'm too good for them to talk to. I expected it that much, I mean I never even had friends, to begin with-

Whoooaaaa!! Hey!!

"Then suddenly, Pinkie pie pulls her cousins towards her and gave her a big hug." Cousin! I'm sooooooo glad that I got to finally meet you!

Yes, yes same here, and out of nowhere too. Now can you let g-

You know, Dad used to tell us that we had a cousin from the Pasta family. Which is strange really, because Pies wouldn't go well with any pasta, especially with strawberry filling. Do you think so too?

Yes, it's quite strange alright. But would you mind letting me g-

Now that I think about it. Maybe we can make a Pie out of cheese with a dash of veggies, tomato sauce, and Oh! have them sliced in eights! Now, what do we call those kinds of Pie?

Hmmmmm . . . I don't know. “Lime Pie walks up to them and guesses an answer.” Uhhh . . . P-Pizza Pie maybe-

Gasp! That's a good answer Lime!! let's call it that! "Pinkie pie hugs her cousin even tighter." See cousin, we came up with a pie name after you! Ah! that's it! From now on we're gonna call you cousin Pizza pie!!

Uh, Hmmmmm . . . "Marble taps Pinkie pie, pointing at their cousin. Who's suffocating from her hug."

Oh! "Pinkie quickly lets go of Pizza pie." Whoops. . . . Sorry about that cousin Pizza pie.

Stop "cough . . . " calling me "cough . . ." Pizza pie! My full name is Pizzaniac peach pie, and it's not a hard name to remember.

Hey, don’t you go mad at us about it, Pinkie pie came up with it.

Yeah, and besides that name suits you well.

Hmmm Mmmmm.

It is? No! I-I mean that sounds silly. I'm a filly who is raised to be a model for our family restaurant! Having a name like that just doesn't fit my personality.

A model? "Lime goes up to Pizza pie, looking at her." Sounds pancy to me.

Gasp! Pa-Pancy! Hey, modeling is professional work!! I get to help our restaurant by promoting it and with Papa's recipes, we've a hit! So modeling isn't a work in a park.

Pffttt. . . Whatever then sheesh. Don't get so worked up about it.

I'm not!

Aw, c'mon cousin. Don't be so uptight. Lighten up, and have fun with us.

Fun? "Pizza looks at Pinkie pie with a grin on her face, then turns her head to Lime and Marble pie." First of all, I don't do fun. Second Papa said that fun is nothing more than getting yourself in trouble, and Third-

“Pinkie went up close to Pizza’s face.” You mean you never had fun around here?! Not even one time?!

Yes, I don't. "Pizza steps back from Pinkie pie." Well, not anymore . . . . Ever since Mama's gone. Everything was never the same. Papa spends most of his days working, trying to distract himself.

. . . . .

But he can't fool me. Every night I hear him crying in his room, holding Mama's picture. I couldn't do anything, I was useless to Papa. Until I decided to be his price daughter, I try be as polite and elegant as I can while helping Papa. When I get an invitation to be a model, I didn't give it a second thought and just went for it. We started to get some attention, and the next thing I know, I made Papa's Restaurant popular thanks to my career.

. . . . . . .

Since then, Papa never feels sad anymore. "Pizza pie walks up to the altar with her Mama's picture at the center." We made this altar of Mama, so she could see what we accomplished together. Papa is finally proud of what I did.

. . . . . .

So to answer your question, Yes I don't do fun. What we do is show Mama that we can still be a family, even with just the two of us. Having selfish fun is just a waste of time.

“After hearing what Pizza said, Pinkie Pie felt sorry for her cousin.” . . . . Gee cousin . . . I didn't know . . . You've been having a rough time. . .

So now you get it? Is to why I don't need fun anymore?

No, I don't.

W-What?! Didn't you hear what I just said? I don't ha-

I know what you said. But you don't really believe in that? right? All that Modeling, polite and elegant acting is just for fancy pants stuff! none of it is fun.

But I-

But nothing. As long as I'm around, you're going to learn how to loosen up and have fun. Now, where's your cutiemark?

My what?

"Pinkie circles around her cousin like a puppy as Pizza pie avoids letting Pinkie get behind her." Your cutiemark silly! everypony knows that a cutiemark tells a pony what they enjoy doing? which also means that whatever ponies cutiemark, is the one thing they had fun doing?! Now, show us that mark.

That sounds ridiculous! There's no way tha- H-HEY!!

"Startled, Pizza turns behind her seeing Lime pie trying to lift her robe covering her flank. She got frantic and pushes Lime pie away."

Hey! that hurt, what gives?!

W-What gives?! what gives is you're trying to pull off my skirt!

You mean a robe.

Whatever! Look, having a cutiemark has nothing to do with fun. It only marks the one thing you're good at.

Aaaannd whatever you're good at means it'd be fun doing it! No more excuses cousin, show up your flank!

"Lime pie looks at Pinkie with a poker face." That sounded wrong Pinkie . . .

What sounded Oh-oh! "Pinkie giggled." W-Whoopsie! What I was saying is, what's your cutiemark cousin Pizza?

. . . . "Flustered, Pizza pie glares at Pinkie and replies." I can't tell you that.

Aw, why not?

Because . . .

Because what?

Uh . . .

Because she doesn't have a cutiemark yet.

Yes, that's righ- W-Wait how did you- EEECCKK!!!!

"Lime pie went behind Pizza pie without her noticing and lifted her robe." Yep, she's a blank flank alright.

"Pizza pie pushes Lime pie, pulls back the robe, and turns her head to the corner."

. . . . .

Cousin . .

No, don't look at me.

Aw, c'mon now, that's not something to be embarrassed about.

Lime's right cousin, I mean it took me longer to get my cutiemark. "Pinkie pulls Marble pie in and rubs her cheeks." Even our baby sister here gets her's last. isn't that right baby sis?

. . . . "Marble pushes herself away from Pinkie pie. She turn to Pizza pie and nodded." Mmmm Hmmm . . .

. . . .

"The Pie siblings look at each other and fells guilty. Pinkie slowly goes up to Pizza pie." Cousin Pizza I-

This is what I mean by not having the time for fun.

. . . . .

I was so focused on helping Papa, I don't time to know myself. Exploring what I'm good at isn't going to make Papa proud of me.

. . . . . .

Since I already learned a lot from being an elegant pony, even doing modeling. Maybe I'll get my cutiemark from either both.

. . . . . . .

I waited and waited, but still nothing. . . . I-I guess what I'm doing doesn't fit for me. Even if I'm good at it . . . .

Well, that only means one thing.

And what's that Pinkie? "Lime pie asked." That-

That cousin here still has a chance to know what her cutiemark is!

I already told you Pinkie. I gave up on looking for it.

Why give up if you never started yet?! "Pinkie pulls her cousin out of the corner." What you're doing just won't do. You have to think outside the box to find your cutiemark. Aaaaannd today's your lucky day because we are here to help you!

H-Help me? Oh- No thank you. I'm fine with just waitin-

No butts! As I said as long as I'm around, I will help you get a cutiemark!

Pinkie, what you said before was helping her to have fun.

Oh, right Lime and that too. Now c'mon, "Pinkie grabs hold of her cousin's hoof." We got a cutiemark to find!

No! Wait Papa said we can't leave the R-Restuaaa!!!!

"Pinkie pie pulls her out of the restaurant and heads to town while Lime and Marble Pie follow them."

I don't get her at all. Why is she so persuasive to make me have fun? I already told her that I can't, I don't have time for that anymore, but she wouldn't listen! "Pizza looks at her cousin while pulling her." Cousin, just what are you trying to prove?

Oh! pit stop! "Pinkie pie stops by a nearby bakery. She dashes inside, glued her face onto the glass counter, staring at some sweets displayed. Pizza tries to pull her hoof off of Pinkie pie, but her cousin got a grip on her and can't get free."

Let go of me Pinkie! Papa might see us outside, we'll be in big trouble!

Don't worry cousin. This won't take long. "Pinkie pie scans through the glass counter, while Pizza still trying to free herself."

"Minutes later, she ordered one dozen muffins, straight from the oven. Pinkie was mesmerized and digs in, while Pizza pie nervously looks side to side at the windows."

Cousin Pinkie please, we really have to get back to the res-acckt! "Pinkie pie shoves a cupcake into Pizza's mouth. Choking, she spits it out on the floor." Pfftaaach!! W- What are you trying to do? Choke me?!

Uh, No, I was trying to make you eat a cupcake silly. So, did it taste good or what?

Or what? I couldn't taste it when you just shove it in my mouth! and didn't you hear what Papa said? I'm not interested in sweets!

Really? "Lime pie made it at the bakery and walks up to them." What are you an old lady or something Pizza?

No! It's just that Papa wouldn't allow me to have some anymore.

Oh, c'mon! can you believe this Marble? Even her Papa controls her eating habits. Talk about sad.

"Tired, Marble arrived at the bakery last." Hmmmm . . . . Mmmm. . . .

. . . . .

That's what your Papa said, not you. It wouldn't hurt to try, so c'mon give it a taste. I know you'll love it.

"Pinkie pie offers her cousin another cupcake. As Pizza looks at it, having second thoughts if she would take it or not. She keeps reminding herself of what her Papa always told her, but she also doesn't want to make her cousin sad. So, she took the cupcake from Pinkie's hoofs and tasted it." . . . .

So, what do you think?

Mmm. . .Hmm. . . I-It tastes good, I mean it's really good. I know what it should taste like, but actually savoring one is way more delicious!

"Pinkie munches down a few cupcakes." See, I knew you'd love it. Nobody can resist a delectable taste of a cupcake.

And it's chocolate too, Hmmmmm!!! I love chocolate. "Pizza takes another chocolate cupcake just before Lime tries to grab it."

Hey! That was mine!

"Pinkie shoves a cupcake into Lime pie's mouth, calming her down." Wow, you like chocolate too cousin?

Oh, yes. It's been my favorite, since Mama- . . . . Since we had some before . . . You know . . . As a family . . .

Aw, cheer up cousin. Where here, and we can get to be your family for today!

T-Thanks Pinkie . . . "Pizza looks at the cupcake she took and hands it over to Marble pie." Here you go cousin Marble, take it.

. . . . “Marble takes the cupcake from Pizza pie and smiles at her.” Mmmm Hmmm . . .

See there you go. Now lets finish up this cupcake and we'll get you your cutiemark cousin! Now, let's dig in!

"The Pie siblings eat and laughs together inside the bakery, without a care in the world. Just as Pizza pie enjoys her cousins' company, she looks out the window and, spotted her Papa and uncle walking on the other side. They crossed the road and headed their way to the bakery."

Oh no! Everyone get down! "Pizza quickly drags her cousins under the table."

Hey! What gives?! Why'd you pull us dow-

Shhh!! Be quiet cousin Lime. Papa and uncle Igneous are outside.

Really!? Where? "Pinkie pie tries to peek out of the table, but Pizza dragged her back in."

Are you insane?! If Papa sees you then we're gonna be in a world of trouble, especially me!

You know, you're worrying too much even though we're actually having a good time.

Be quiet! Now, stay here while I'll check if they're still outside.

"Pizza slowly peeks out of the table and looks at the window, hoping they went pass the bakery. The pie siblings under the table continue to eat the rest of the cupcakes."

Wow, She sure is paranoid when it comes to her Papa, right Pinkie?

. . . . . "Pinkie watch her cousin looking out the window, she felt sorry for her and what she'd been through." . . . . Lime, Marble, we need to help cousin find her cutiemark today.

Can't we just let fate decide on this one? I mean she did say she'll find it eventually.

But what if she gets a bad cutiemark? That she'll end up doing for the rest of her life?!

I'm sure her being uptight for a cutiemark isn't that bad. Besides, she's good at it after all.

I'm serious Lime, this is the only time we can visit cousin Pizza, so who knows when will we come back.

Hmmmm Mmmm.

Ok, well. Got any bright ideas then Pinkie?

Hmm . . . . come to think of it. Oh! Oh! How about the same way how I got mine!

You mean, she has to throw us a party? Heh, as if she'll ever do that, with her being paranoid in all.

No, I mean, we should make a surprise party for her. Yeah! that's it!

How would that work?

Think about it, cousin Pizza never does anything fun right?

Yeah . . .

And parties are considered the source of all fun right?

Hmmm Mmmm.

Sooooo, if we threw a fun party for her, she'll have so much fun that she'll spark her interest in finding her cutiemark again! Even if she can't get it today, We can at least give her the passion she needed to find it on her own!

That doesn't make sense at all. But what the heck, we're in.

Hmmm Mmmm.

Wow, this is a first, Marble here is all fired up. So, where do you wanna throw it Pinkie?

At the restaurant silly, it has all the stuff we need to throw one!

Alright then, what about cousin? "The Pie siblings stare at their cousin, who's still looking out the window."

Don't worry, Let's sneak out while she isn't looking.

Hey! That's my line Pinkie! but good idea! "Lime pie lifts up the table curtain at the other side." C'mon let's go.

"They slowly sneak out of the table and exit the bakery. Pinkie looks back at her cousin, feeling guilty for leaving her behind." Sorry about this cousin, but you'll thank us later once we threw you this party. . .

"Pizza pie sees her Papa and uncle chatting outside. She hides under the window as they pass the bakery, unaware that she's inside. As soon as she doesn't see them, she gives out a big sigh of relief and goes back to the table."

Ok, the coast is clear cousins. We really need to head back to the restaurant an- "As Pizza lifts up the table curtain and sees that her cousins were gone." Cousin Pinkie? Cousin Lime? Cousin Marble? Oh no, this is bad! Where did they run off to?!

~ End of chapter 4

Author's Note

As fillies, Pinkie pie, and Pizza pie are two different ponies. Lifewise, they were born in different places, one is raised on a rock farm, the other in a fancy restaurant. One lives her life with cheer, and the other lives under her Papa's rule. In short, no matter how similar the two are on the outside but they can never be the same on the inside.

Modesty Chapter 4 : Pie meets Pie

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 5: My Pinkie promise part 2 (Revamped)

"Pizza pie looked all over the bakery but they were gone. Panic, she slowly sneaks out of the bakery. Hope the owner doesn't spot her leaving."

Ehem. . .

!!!!! "Startled, She turns around and sees standing behind her is the baker." Oh, uhh . . . I-I just realized Uh. . . I left my wallet at home. . . And uh . . .

"The baker walks up to her and gets close to her face, glaring at her." Hmm . . .

Uh . . . "Scared, Pizza couldn't look the baker in the eye." I can you uh . . put it in a tab?

Oh! "Suprised, the baker instantly recognizes her." Ah! I know that mane anywhere! You're Pizzaniac. Mia and Pasta's little girl.

Huh? "Puzzled, Pizza pie replied." Uh . . do I know you?

Oh, right. You were still little when we met. I'm Custer, you're Papa's best colt.

Custer?. . . .Where did I hear that name- "She then recalls a young colt in one of her Papa's wedding albums." AH! I remembered! You were next to Papa in the wedding pictures!

Yes, I was. It was a memorable moment too.

I'm sorry if I didn't recognize you Mr. Custe-

"Suddenly, the chimes from the door rang and two customers walked in. It's her Papa and Uncle. Pizza panicked and slid under the table. Confused, Custers wonders why the filly is hiding until he saw Pasta."

Then one customer asks me about my home. He said The Your home is rather exquisite. Tell me how much is your roof cost? I told him Nothing, they're On the house.

"Both the colts chuckled as they reached the counter." Oh, Pasta, you crack me up. It's still hard to believe that you have a sense of humor.

What can I say, I can be funny at times. So don't let this strict face fool you Ha Ha.

Oh yes, sir Pasta is quite a comedian when he's not stressed. "Custer walks up the counter facing the two colts."

That's right. Igneous, you remember Custer? He and his father made the cake for our wedding. He was also my best colt.

Ah yes, it's been a while since I last saw you young colt.

Yes, it is sir. I'm still grateful that you like the cake I made.

Well, of course, it has a unique flavor, and it's eye-catching too. You certainly live up to your cutiemark.

Thank you, Mr. Pasta, and Mr. Igneous, that means a lot. And since I run my father's bakery now, I have to step up my game every day.

I admire your devotion, Custer your father raised you well. That's why making you my best colt is a good choice.

Really? I mean . . ."Custer scratches the back of his head, flustered from compliments." I-It was an honor to be one too.

If only my daughter could learn a thing or two from you. Say, how about you be her baking tutor? Given the spare time she has, it would be a big help. At least she can do more than just entertain customers and list down orders. if that is, there aren't any photoshoots scheduled for her.

Gee, I'm not sure about that Brother. Wouldn't that take away your daughter's freedom and time to play with her friends?

Friends? Please Igneous, success comes first when you have a reputation. Pizzaniac is already committed to being the next in line in my business. And besides, she doesn't have any friends to begin with.

"Pizza pie overheard their conversation, her ears drop, tears falling down her cheeks. She covers her mouth, avoid making a sound."

Brother, maybe the reason why she doesn't have any friends is because you don't allow her to have time for herself.

Look Igneous, I didn't tell you how to raise your kids, so don't tell me how to raise mine.

"Custer felt awkward having to listen to the two colts. He slowly walks away and goes to pick up some pastries."

Right . . . Again, I'm sorry for overstepping.

It's fine Brother. Let's just get the fillies some bread. Custer, can we have some sweet bread?

Oh, uh yes sir, right away.

"Custer brought Pasta his one batch of sweet bread they paid their order and left the bakery. Pizza pie then crawls out of the table. Ashamed, she couldn't face her godfather and faces the table."

Pizzaniac . . .

So now you know how Papa treats me everyday. . .

No, I don't. I wasn't thinking about that. I'm sure your Papa has his reasons.

. . . . .

And of course, doesn't mean what he sai-

Yes, he does. He was never the same without Mama. . .

. . . . Are you okay at least?

Yes, I'm fine . . . Don't worry. "She wipes her tears and smiles." What I said before, I'm sorry for barging here Mr. Custer . . .

Mr.? Oh no, Custer is just fine, and it's ok. "He smiles and pats Pizza's head." You hardly ever go this side of town. So it just surprises me to see you here and with some friends.

Oh, they're my friends, they're my cousins, Uncle Igneous's children. One of them just dragged me around a- MY COUSINS!! "She instantly recalled and panicked in front of Custer." Did you see which way did they go?

Hmmm . . . Well, I saw those three sneak out and headed in that direction. "He points at the road, leading to the canals."

Oh! Ok got it. I wish I could stay and talk some more, but I need to find my cousins.

Oh, it's fine Pizzaniac, some other time then. Now run along.

"She nods and smiles." It's nice to meet you again Mr da-I mean Custer.

Don't mention it. Just stop by whenever you're free, alright?

Uh, huh I will. And Oh, I'll pay back the cupcakes we ea-

No worries Pizzaniac, it's on the house.

R-really? But I feel bad-

Consider it as a gift. Your Mama would've done the same.

. . . . Ok, if you say so. . . Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

"She bows to Custer and exits the bakery. He waves at the filly as she leaves, but his concern for her still bothers him."

Poor filly, hopefully, things will turn out okay for her. . .

"Pizza pie heads her way to the canals, as Custer said. She avoids the main road, fearing that her Papa and uncle might see her. Then she sees a shortcut just ahead of her. Without hesitation, she went in and ran past some trash on the sides."

Those three good for nothing! I can't believe they just leave me like that! What if Papa and Uncle Igneous got home and realized that were gone?! How can I explain to them that I lost my cousins in the city?! Papa would think that I'm not capable of handling things on my own . . . I can't believe I let this all happen?! I'm so Stupid! STUPID!! STUPID!! STUP-WHOAA!!"

"Without looking, Pizza pie ran into some fillies just as she exits the shortcut. They fell to the ground, dazed, and tries to stand up."

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry, I wasn't looking and-

"As she looks up, she recognizes the fillies. Two young colts and one mare. The fillies stare back and recognized her too."

Oh! Look who it is, look who it is. "One of the colts walks up to Pizza pie. He has a short curly mane with gold ingots for a cutiemark." It's the Uptown mare.

"Pizza replies in a dead tone." Hey Carat.

Hey, what's with the attitude? "Carat puts his hooves over her shoulders." We haven't seen you since the last photoshoot. How you've been pie?

First of all, it's only been four days second, "She pushes Carat away." and quit calling me pie!

Aww c'mon now, that's a fitting nickname for you. Since calling you by your first name sounds like it came from a tongue twister.

I'm telling you a thousand times, it's not a hard name to pronounce! It's Pizzaniac, Pizza-niac, get it right!

Pfft, whatever pie. Say, what are you doing out here anyway?

Uh, nothing."Pizza pie rolls her eyes, avoiding eye contact." I was just uh . . . strolling! that's right. Just strolling.

. . . In the alley? "The two colts look at each other confused." Are you for real?

I was just taking a shortcut, it's none of your business!

Whoa, just take it easy pie. I was just asking.

Well, you're getting on my nerves. "Pizza pie noticed the other colt behind Carat. She leans to see who it is." Who's he?

Oh! him. "Carat pulls his friend next to him." He's new in town, we're just showing him around. His name is C-

Yeah, don't care. Look, I'm in a hurry okay? I need to get home before-

Before what? "The third filly walks up to Pizza pie. She wears a blue beret on her long creamy blond mane, vanilla white coat, and a Danish pastry for a cutiemark." Wow Pie. Way to give a first impression to a newcomer. You sure live up to the title of Uptown mare.

Danishya.

Pizzaniac.

"The two young mares locked eyes, both glaring at each other. While the young colts felt the atmosphere changing by just looking at them."

I see you're still your Papa's trophy child.

And I see you're still stuck in third place.

Heh, Third place isn't so bad since I'm not under my parent's approval. It's just me and my talents that got me this far.

Funny. Considering a blank flank like me does the same thing, but better. No talents, just confidence.

Confidence? That's a funny way to pronounce Luck.

Funny again. "Pizza smirks at Danishya." You call it luck, I call it in your face.

"The static between the two fillies gets intense as they continue glaring at one another."

Tch!! You're so full of yourself, just because things go your way!

"Pizza looks at the ground and muffles." You have no idea how wrong you are.

What was that?

I said, you're in my way, so move!

"Carat slowly walks up to the mares, breaking the tension between the two." Alright, Alright. You ladies got an act for each other but c'mon, just drop it for once? Dani you gotta stop pushing Pie like that. And Pie you need to learn how to be humble.

Her humble? As if she can be one. Ever since she got second place, Pie's done nothing but rub it in my face!

Speak for yourself Danishya, you've been treating me like garbage from the start! It's only fair to boast my success to you.

I see, then enjoy it while it last. Cause judging from your blank flank, that means there's nothing special about you.

. . . . .

"While the three fillies are having a discussion, Carat's friend smells something from across the block. He walks up to Carat and pulls his tail."

Carat.

In a minute.

"He pulls Carat's tail again." Carat did you sme-

I said in a minute.

"Irritated, he pulls Carat's tail one more time." I said listen!

"The pull from Carat's tail forces him to sit on the ground. He turns around to his friend and yells." What!? can't you see that were-

"His friend pulls in Carat's head towards the smell." You smell that?

"Carat sniffs the air and picks up the scent as well." Yeah I did. Ugh, what is that? It smells like burning dough.

Dough? "Pizza pushes Carat aside and sniffs the air." It is dough, but where's it coming from?

I think it's coming from over there. "Carat points in the direction where the smell is coming from." Huh, Hey Pie. Isn't that where your house is at?

Well yes, Carat. But that doesn't mean that burning dough smell is coming from my house. I mean honestly, the only one who lives there is me, my Papa, and, MY COUSINS!!

Pfft, really Pie? That has to be your saddest excuse yet. So now you're telling us you have cousins visiting? Like anyone else would be related to you, you're obviously ly- H-HEY!!

"Pizza pie Ignores Danishya, pushing her and Carat out of her way. " Sorry, but I gotta get home. I'll see you guys at the next photoshoot. Oh! And also-

Danishya you're a swine, and I'll deal with you later.

What did you call me-

Carat you're obnoxious and stop calling me Pie,

Whatever.

and New pony . . . .

Oh! huh?

"She gives a warming smile at him and replies." I'm sorry about earlier and nice to meet you.

. . . L-Likewise . . .

"Pizza pie leaves the fillies behind and rushes back home. Carat's friend blushes and waves at her until she fades into the distance."

Swine?! tch!! the nerve of that pony!

Yup. That's why she's the uptown mare. You better step up your game Dani if you wanna reach top one on this month's filly models.

Don't call me that Carat! And obviously, I will but this time things will be different. I won't lose to her again!

Uh, huh . . . "Carat walks up to his friend, who's just sitting as his mind wonders. Carat taps on his shoulder." Hey, you ok bud?

Ah, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I was just waiting for you two.

Well, we still got places to go, so you better remember which way is which.

"Carat's friend nods." Right . . .

You two! What are you waiting for? let's go! "Danishya went ahead of them, waiting." I don't have all day you know!

Alright, Dani hold up.

Carat, for the last time, stop with the nicknames!

"Carat and his friend walk up to Danishya. But the young colt looks back at the road behind him. Carat who's in front of him calls him out."

Hey! What's with you today? C'mon.

Oh, Sorry. "He turns back to Carat and follows him," Say, is that Pie filly, is always like that?

Hmmm . . . Nah, she's nice once you get to know her. It's just that, her Dad makes her feel like she's doing everything wrong.

Her Dad?

Yup, She follows her Dad's orders that she's more of a house pet than a daughter.

. . . .

I sure wish that one day, she could have the guts to at least stand up for herself.

That sounds bad . . . Hope things will work out. I mean I like to know her more.

If she's free after her photoshoot that is, but that'll be the day.

Hey! " Inpatient, Danishya still waits for them at the hill, tapping her hoof." Less talking more walking!

Sheesh!! Dani I said we're coming.

Carat, I swear to you I'm gonna push you down this hill if you call me Dani one more time.

Yeah, yeah. "Carat muffles." Better add in the next Uptown mare in your title list while you're at it.

What was that?

Said you should look for a good place to eat while you're up there.

"His friend chuckled behind his back as they walk up the hill and continues their trip around town. Meanwhile, at Pizza pie's home. The Pie siblings were preparing their little surprise party for their only cousin. The kitchen is covered in flour, wet dough, and mushed chocolate. Pinkie pie carries a tray and places it in the oven. Her two sisters were concerned and walked up to her."

Uh, you sure you know what you're doing Pinkie? I mean we never bake a Pizza in our whole life.

Hmm Mmmm.

Then this will be our first, one that Cousin Pizza will enjoy! "She pulls her siblings in front of the oven." Now you two just keep an eye on it while I get some plates.

W-What?! You're gonna let us watch it baked?

Uh, duh. I can't keep an eye on it while I'm preparing the rest of the surprise Lime.

I don't get you Pinkie. Do we really need to do this?

Hmmm Mmmmm.

You're right Marble. We're just causing trouble for Pizza pie. I mean did you see how strict her Papa is to her?

You don't get it you two, Cousin's life is nothing but dull. All she does here is do as uncle Pasta told her, and she never gets a chance to be herself. Sooo, by throwing her this party, she'll realize that she's more than just her Papa's little mare. She can be anything she ever wanted!

But Pinkie-

Oh, I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees her surprise!

I'm gonna give them a furious look on my face when I find out they're behind this! "Meanwhile Pizza pie heads her way home, following the smell of burning dough. Up ahead there's a crowd of ponies blocking the way. She slides in and passes through."

Oy! What the-

Excuse me.

Hey!

Pardon me sir.

Oh! Watch it!

Just passing through.

Watch where you're going you foal!

Oh, Sorry.

"Pizza pie made it out of the crowd and reach the canal. It's a split of two lands and a riverway in the middle. Boats of different sizes sails along the currents. She looks both ways, looking for a nearby bridge."

Wait. Where's the bridge?! It should be right he- Owh! "She face-hoofs and just realizes." Oh, of course! the shortcut doesn't lead me to one! UUUUHHHHGGGG!!!! Now what? "She slowly walks to the edge, drops a pebble, and watches it falls into the river." Darnet! I don't have a choice!

"Pizza pie walks away from the edge. She turns around, setting her sight on the other side. Nervous, she takes a deep breath and gets in position."

Sigh . . . Alright, I can do this, I can do this . . .

"Time slows down, her heartbeat pounds and the ticking sound from the town clock gets loud. As it strikes twelve, Pizza pie bolted towards the riverside. Picking up speed as she gets closer to the edge, she launches herself up in the air and times her landing on the first boat."

Phew . . . That was nuts. "She looks up and sees that she has a long way to go." Ok ok, again! "She continues onto the next boat. Leap after leap, she feels the wind in her face and mane. feeling exhilarated, she made it to the next boat. " This . . . . feels like . . . . . Fun! I never felt this free since ever! " Pizza pie is haft way close to the other side." Ok, no time to get all excited now. I'm almost there.

"With a smile, she leaps on. Her mane gets undone in mid-air as she lands on the last boat. But the distance between her and the other side is too far to reach. Determine to get across, she steps back and gets in position. Without hesitation, she runs out of the boat and takes a huge leap. Stretching her front hooves, as she's about to land on the other side."

I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna- H-Huh?! "Suddenly, she sees her Papa and her uncle Igneous walking along the riverside, where she's about to land. She quickly closes her hoofs, causing her to fall into the river."AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

"The noise followed by a big splash caught one of the colts' attention." Brother did you hear that? "Said Igneous looking around."

Hear what brother?

I heard there was a scream and a splash. "The colts look down the river and see nothing."

You must be tired from all this walking. How about we take a sit in the park first, and let our hooves rest?

Sounds good to me.

"The Colts walk away and head to the park. Without knowing the shenanigans their daughters were up to."

~ End of chapter 5

Author's Note

Pizza pie had a godparent. She didn't know because she didn't ask. She has friends but she didn't know, because she finds them annoying, especially Carat. These OC's are not just added up, they'll have a role in sooner chapters.

Modesty Chapter 4.5 : Alone with my cousins

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 6: My Pinkie promise part 3 (Revamped)

"Back at the restaurant, the pie siblings burned another baking. Lime and Marble quickly place the tray on the table next to the other burned bakes."

Uhhhggg I've had it! This is the third time we did this!

"The pie siblings surround the burnt baking. Pinkie then tastes it with her hoof." Hmmmm . . . . I think it's good enough! "Pinkie carries it to the table." Now, let's set up the plates.

Are you sure Pinkie? I mean it doesn't look good. "Lime pokes the burnt baking and Marble did the same." Or safe . . .

Uhhhhh Hmmmm.

Don't be silly Marble, I know what I'm doing. I followed all the steps in this book right here, see. "Pinkie shoves the recipe book at Lime." Since I want it to be special for cousin Pizza, I replace the cheese toppings with chocolate instead! Since it's her favorite.

Uhhh . . . Right. let me see that. "Lime takes the recipe and looks at it." Pinkie, how can you even read this?

Just a hunch really. And also my Pinkie sense will tell me what to do.

Ugghh!! This again?! "Marble taps Lime's shoulders and shakes her head." What?! I told you she's making that stuff up. Don't tell me you believe that?!

Oh! Hold on a second girls. "Her ears flop, eyes flutter, and knee twitch." It's a combo! that means my Pinkie sense tells us to look out for open doors. It must be cousin Pizza!

Pinkie really? When will you drop that? I told you once and I'll say it again! Your Pinkie sense is a load of-

"The front door burst open and startled the pie siblings. Pizza pie comes in, soaking wet with her long mane covering her face. She slowly walks up to Pinkie without saying a word."

You were saying?

"Limes crosses her hooves and looks away." Hmmp! Whatever!

. . . . . .

Oh! Hey, cousin! You're just in time for your I-I mean Surprise!

. . . . . . . .

I threw you this change your mind Surprise party just for you!!

. . . .

Check it, we got decorations. "Pinkie points at the dangling spoons and forks, tied onto a string above them."

. . . . . .

Food, "At the table, they are some leftover cupcakes from Custer's bakery."

. . . . . .

Music, "On the pile of frying pans and pots is Lime, holding two wooden spoons." Hit it!

Pinkie, I told you I don't know any music

Just hit it!

Sigh . . . Fine! "Lime pie taps the spoons together and starts hitting on the pans, making more noise than rhythm."

. . . . . .

Aaand, what's a party without cake? "Marble pie passes the tray to Pinkie. It's a half-baked chocolate Pizza in the shape of her head." Well, technically it isn't really a cake and, a little under bake, but still tastes good, and oh! I manage to make it look exactly like you since it's also a Pizza. "Pinkie giggled and smiles at her."

. . . . . . .

Soo, what do you think cousin Pizza?

A . . . . .

Do you love it?!

Ar- . . .

Yes?

Are you kidding me? . . . What a load of nonsense.

Huh? . . . "Pinkie was stunned to hear her cousin's tone change." Uh . . C- Cousin, I-

You just show up, and you think you can just change how things work here?! This baking, this party, even this visit, are nothing but a waste of time!

B-But cousin, this is just my way to cheer you-

Cut the nonsense! I told you I don't do fun and I don't need any of it!

But I- . . . .

Can't you at least take a hint?! You're being a pain in the-

HEY! “Lime pie couldn't hold herself, seeing Pinkie getting yelled at. She walks up to Pizza pie, defending her sister.” Just who do you think you are, telling off my sister like that? If you don’t like to bond with us then fine, but don’t take it out on Pinkie!

What? So I'm the bad one now? Well, what about you two? both of you just let Pinkie do her crazy thing instead of stopping her, and to top it all up, neither of you care!

We do, but she insisted on throwing you this party! She wanted you to feel like you have more than just your Papa as family!

Hmmmm Mmmm.

Family? . . . . We haven't felt like a real family since Mama died. And you think this is gonna make a difference?! Huh?!

. . . . "Pinkie offers her cousin the chocolate Pizza they baked." Cousin . . . I-I . . . don't know what you've been going through, b-but I . . . . I can't stand seeing you like this! All you've ever done is do anything to make your Papa proud. But. . . . But what about you?! Are you happy with just that!? Y-You should be out there, doing what you want to do! Find your cutiemark and have fun-

I told you . . . . I don't need, anyone to tell me what to do! "Pizza slaps off the tray from Pinkie pie's hooves, the chocolate pizza is splattered on the floor." I choose to be like this because I wanted to! No one forces me anything! So why don't you just leave, and MIND YOUR OWN LIFE!

Pizzaniac!

“Her heart stopped after hearing a familiar voice calling her. She turns around and sees her Papa standing behind her, furious at what he witnessed."

I told you to be on your best behavior. We were gone for hours and this is what you have to show me?!

Papa, this isn't w-what it looks like. . . Let me expl-

Explain? What exactly? That you didn’t take your responsibility seriously?

Papa I-

You made a mess in this kitchen, blaming your cousins, and you have the audacity to tell them to leave?!

B-But Papa-

I didn't raise you to be this rude! I thought you everything to be a fine young mare, but it seems like you're not interested at all.

Papa! "Pizza walks up to her Papa, holding his hoof, pleading." No Papa, I'm not rude. Really I'm not, it's just that-

No more excuses Pizzaniac. . . . Just go to your room.

Papa, I-

GO TO YOUR ROOM! "He pulls his hoof off of her and turns his back." You embarrassed me enough.

“Pizza's tear runs down her cheeks. Devastated, she turns away and ran upstairs to her room. Slams the door on her way in. The pie siblings felt awful over what they'd done. Lime and Marble go up to their uncle.”

Uncle Pasta wait! It wasn’t cousin Pizza's fault. We made a mess in the kitchen, we were just throwing her a party. She only tried to stop us, we didn’t listen and-

There is no need for an explanation. My daughter just can’t handle the responsibility I gave her. I'll apologize for her behavior earlier.

But it’s not like that-

Girls, that’s enough. “said Igneous pulling them away.” You girls already made a scene here.

But . . . But. . .

No buts, just do as you're told.

. . . . .

"Pasta carries a broom and passes one to Igneous." Brother, can you assist me in cleaning my daughter's mess? . . .

“He nods and replies.” Sure thing Pasta. Let me take these kids to the living room first.“Igneous escorts his children out of the kitchen.” Now you kids just stay here ok and have some sweet breads while you wait.

But what about Pinkie? “They turn to Pinkie pie, as she slowly picks up the mess on the floor and places it back on the tray.” We can't just leave her like that?

Hmmmm Mmmm.

. . . . . “Igneous walks up to Pinkie and offers his hoof.” Come now Pinkie, your sisters are waiting for you.

. . . . "She wipes off her tears and nods." I made a mess out of things Dad. I-I'm sorry . .

There's no need to apologize dear, no one got hurt.

. . . . Cousin Pizza is . . . And it's all because I want to see her happy . . .

Sigh . . . . "Igneous lifts up Pinkie's chin and looks at her." Now listen Pinkie. Sometimes, you can't change a ponies life that easily, especially when it's against their parents.

. . . .

But,

Huh?

This time, your cousin is hurt. And she needs somepony to cheer her up. " Igneous winks and smiles at Pinkie pie." Now, run along and-

"Pinkie then hugged her Dad in joy." Thank you Dad! I'm gonna do just that! And this time, I'll do it right! She carries the tray, heading up to Pizza's room."

Uh, where you going? “Lime and Marble are at the table, eating some sweet bread.” The table's right here.

Sorry girls, but I need to talk to Pizza. She needs me now more than ever!

"Lime shrugs and replies." Alright Pinkie, if you say so. Me and Marble will just stay here and finish off this sweet bread then.

MmmmHmmm . . .

“Pinkie walks upstairs and reached her cousins' room. She takes a deep breath and knocks on the door.”

Cousin. . . I know you don't want to talk to me, but I got something to say. Something important . . . May I come in?

“There was no reply from her cousin, so Pinkie stood outside of her room waiting. An hour later, Pinkie knocks on the door again.”

Cousin. . . C-Can you hear me? "Pinkie grabs the knob and notices the door wasn't locked. She goes in and takes a peak." Cousin Pizza . . . Are you here- "As Pinkie looks around she finds the room empty, there's no sign of her cousin. The window next to the bed was open, and there was a blanket tied down outside. Pinkie exits the room and ran downstairs in a panic."

Sweetie, what's the matter? You've been up there for a while now.

"Pinkie's hooves were wobbling, trying to stay up." Dad. . Uncle Pasta . . . Its . . Its . . .

Calm down here, have a drink. "Pasta offers Pinkie a glass of lemonade." Are you ok? What happened?

"Pinkie takes a sip and replies." Its . . . Cousin . . . She's . . . She's gone!

"The colts were shocked, they immediately stood up from the table and start looking around the restaurant. Minutes later, their search continues outside. They split into groups, making it faster to look for Pizza pie."

Pasta and Lime went to the Southside of town." Pizzaniac! Where are you? Pizzaniac! Come home this instant!

Hey, Pizza pie! If you're still mad about the party, I'm sure you can throw a better one if your Papa's not around.

. . . . . "Pasta looks angrily at Lime pie."

What?

"While Igneous and Marble go North." Pizzaniac dear come home. Your Father and I are worried about you. Sweetie, any sign of your cousin?

"Marble shakes her head in response." Umm Hmmm.

Then let's keep looking, and we better hurry. It's getting dark.

As for Pinkie pie, she tries to retrace her step to where they'd passed earlier, calling out her name." Pizza! . . . . Cousin Pizza! . . . . Cousin! . . . . Where are you? . . . . Cousin! . . . . Cousin! Oh, where did you go? . . .

"Pinkie's voice gets everyones' attention, but they just kept their distance and ignore her. The new pony from earlier notices the pink filly yelling in town. Curious, he slowly walks up and taps her shoulder."

Excuse me, are you looking for somepony?

"Pinkie goes up to the pony's face." Oh yes I am! You see my cousin ran away from home and I'm trying to find her. Can you help me look? She looks sort of like me but with cheesy orange and tomato red color on her mane-

Cheesy orange? Red tomato mane? "The pony instantly figured out who the pink filly is describing." I think I know who you're talking about.

REALLY? Do you have any idea where she went?

I can't be sure, but knowing her through my friends, I think I know where she would go. Follow me.

"Pinkie follows the new pony to wear he assumed Pizza pie might be. Keeping his hope up, he leads the way with certainty."

I just hope I'm right. Danish and Carat said, whenever she's sad or wants to be alone, she always goes to that one place to clear her mind. This way, c'mon.

Right behind you eh- . . . . Uh . . . What's your name by the way-

We're here.

"The new pony points at the park. It's filled with fallen leaves blowing in the wind. There is a small hill just near the pond and on top of it is a single tree. The two ponies walk up, and as they did, they notice somepony sitting on the side of the tree. It's Pizza pie, facing the other way and looking at the view. The new pony tries to call her, but Pinkie pie ran up to her cousin."

. . . .

Cousin . . . It's me . . .

Oh, hey. . . . .

. . . . . So uh . . . .Your Papa, my Dad, and my sisters were looking for you. . . .

Oh . . .

. . . .So uh . . . you see . . . cousin you need to come back. . .

And what? . . . So I get scolded some more?

It's not like that . . . "Pinkie reaches to her cousin's shoulder." Your Papa is worried about you -

"Pizza slaps her cousins’ hoof off of her.” GO AWAY! Haven't you caused me enough trouble already?!

. . . . .

Just leave me alone. . .

. . . . . "Pinkie steps back and sits behind her." look. . . I’m sorry . . . . . For getting you in trouble, forcing you to do things, everything . . . I-I just . . . . I wanted to spend time with you. When I heard from my Dad that I got a cousin from Mitaly, I was so happy. I got another side of my family who I can share my happiness with.

. . . . . .

But when I met you . . . . I felt like you had given up on yourself. . . . You became like that because you wanted your Papa to be proud. . . . . But what about you? What do you want? What is it that makes you happy? . . .

. . . . I . . . .

. . . . . .

I don't know Pinkie. . . . Mama . . . was our happiness . . . She brings us together. I couldn't care less with what cutiemark I'll end up as long as we're together, that's all it matters . . .

But cousin . . . . Happiness, doesn't stop from your Mama . . .

Huh? . . .

Happiness is up to you. No matter where, or who shares it with you. You need to turn back on it. B-Because right now, I'm giving you a chance to be happy again, and I came all this way just for that.

A chance . . . . “Pizza’s eyes widen, tearing up after hearing Pinkie's words.” For happiness? . . . .

That's right! "Pinkie offers her hoof to Pizza pie." It may not be the happiness you wanted, but this is the happiness you needed.

P-Pinkie . . . "She wipes her tears and takes her cousin's hoof." Thank you . . I never knew how much I needed to hear that . . .

You're very welcome and I'm super glad to hear it! "Pinkie closes in Pizza's face." Hmmmm . . Now that I got a good look at you, I just noticed something.

S-Something? What is it?

That we- . . . "Pinkie gives a warming smile at her cousin." We're kinda the same. We both had a rough start, We love our family, and both of us are looking for the things that make us happy! Aaand-

. . . . And what? . . .

. . . . Uh, I don't know. I kinda forgot the last one.

Pffttt . . . "Pizza pie laughs her lungs out." Is that right?

Yup! Oh, wait, now I remember! With all our similarities, all that's missing now is having the same mane and cutiemark! But what are the odds of that happening right?

PPffftt . . . . Yeah, that'll be the day!

"Pinkie giggled and puts her hoof around Pizza pie. The Pie cousins laugh and finally made up. The new pony watches them from afar, seeing the touching moment they had. He smiled and leaves them to bond."

You know what Pinkie. . .

What cousin?

That you're my chance for happiness. I'm glad you came to visit.

I embraced my cousin for the first time that day. All those years, I thought I was the only one who's struggling. I keep reminding myself that my happiness ended. But when Pinkie pie said that "Happiness gives chances", it hit me. I wasn't trying to move on, I was afraid to feel happy, because I knew it wouldn't last. But she doesn't think of that, but instead enjoys every minute if it, even if it's for a day. And that's where I admire her.

We went back home and apologize to Papa, Uncle, and my cousins for making them worried. It was late, and our Papas' allowed us to have a sleepover. We spend the night, playing until sunrise. For the first time, felt happy even it was for a short time. Morning came and, my Uncle and cousins are going back home.

We'll brother it’s been a fun visit, especially to the fillies here. “said Igneous while his children smiled.”

Yes, your visit is quite something alright.

It sure is. “Igneous hugs Pasta in thanks.” I hope we can do this again real soon.

Likewise brother and thank you for your company.

“As the brothers are saying their goodbyes. The fillies look at each other and do the same.”

Well, cousins I guess this is goodbye.

Yeah, it is. “said Lime, carrying a basket of sweet bread.” And I'm sorry about earlier. You know, ditching you at the bakery and everything.

Hmmmm Mmmmm . .

No, I should be the one who says that. You're all just trying to help me. So I'm sorry for yelling at you guys.

"Lime pie pat Pizza's shoulder." Eh, it's ok. At least we had fun, right Marble?

"Marble gently pats Pizza's other shoulder." Hmmm Mmmm . . .

Good thing too, otherwise you three would get bored to tears. "The three of them smiled at each other." So uh, When will you visit again?

I don’t know. I mean this place is pretty far.“said Pinkie in a sad tone.” Someday I guess . . . .

Yeah. It took haft of Dad's earnings to just visit here.

Oh . . . I see . . . It's ok-

B-But we'll try to visit soon, like real soon! So don't be sad cousin!

Pinkie . . . .

“The fillies went silent and their ears drop. Lime and Marble pie look at each other and nod. They turn back to join their Dad and uncle, Leaving Pizza and Pinkie pie alone, giving them some time to talk.”

. . . .

Hey, Pinkie. . .

Yeah? . . .

C-Can I make a promise?

Sure thing cousin. What is it?

. . . . "Pizza paused and stared at her cousin." W- . . . . W-When I get older, I wanna- . . . I wanna be just like you.

Huh? “Pinkie is surprised, after hearing what Pizza said.” W-What do you mean?

Listen, you were right, about everything. I did waste my time being like this! Should've been out there! Making friends, getting my cutiemark, and finding my happiness, but I didn't. .

. . . . .

And for that, I wanted to change it. Starting today!

By being just like me?

Yeah! And if I do that, then I can make friends and share my happiness too!

That's the spirit cousin! Share that ray of shine of yours! Even more, if you finally got your cutiemark!

Uh-huh! It won't be easy, but I won't stop until I get it! And when that happens . . . Let's . . . let’s live together!

Wha-What? . . . Live together?

Yeah, so everyday we can share our happiness with everypony! "Pizza holds both Pinkie pie's hooves tight." Cousin, your visit save me. So Thank you Pinkie, for not giving up on me. . .
.

“Pinkie hugs her cousin tightly, tearing with joy.” Awww . . . . I'm glad that I did and I would never give up on you. Were cousins after all! So Thank you too, for meeting you.

“Their Fathers and the two fillies watch them having a touching moment. Igneous and his children smile as Pasta looks at his daughter with a blank expression. Igneous noticed and didn't mind.”

Then it’s settled. Once we’re all grown up and got your cutiemark, we can live together!

Yes, I’ll make sure I'll get one that suits me. It's a guaranteed promise!

“Pinkie giggled.” Hey, let’s make this promise a special one.

Ok, how?

Well, let’s see . . . "Pinkie sits, folds her hooves, and thinks." Oh Oh!! I got it!

W-What? Did you come up with something?

Yeah! Cousin, stand up front and repeat after me.

Ah! Ok! "Pizza stands, facing her cousin confused." Now what-

Just follow what I do.

"Pizza follows Pinkie pie movement and repeats what she said." Cross my heart, Hope to cry, Stick a cupcake in my eye. “They both laugh and held their hoof.”

Great! Now our promise has been made.

What should we call it? “Pizza asked.”

Hmmm . . . It has to be super special and only a few ponies can be trusted wiht it. Oh! How about A Pinkie promise.

I love it. Our first Pinkie promise. “The pie cousins hugged once more.” You can trust me on our promise cousin.

I'll look forward to it.

We say our goodbyes and they head back home. My Mama's side of the family was something else, especially my Pink cousin. I had fun having them, and I'm sure Mama would too. Their visit was like a dream, that I never want to wake up. And like all dreams, you need to. Now, I go back to who I was. My same old life resumes like nothing happened that day. But I'll never forget all the good times I had with them and I’ll never forget about my promise.

Days . . . Weeks. . . . Months. . . Years passed. I’ve grown to be a mature mare, but still haven’t gained a cutiemark. I tried looking, but no luck. I guess I can't find it here. But maybe this is a sign, that I should look for it somewhere else. I think it's about time, for me to fulfill our promise. But Papa doesn't allow it. I told him about my pinkie promise before, but he shrugs it off like I'd get over it as I got older. But I didn't, and persuade Papa to let me go.

NO! You are not leaving this house over some childish promise. "said Pasta raising his voice."

But Papa, I beg you. It's the promise cousin Pinkie and I made. I couldn't get my cutiemark here, I tried but I can't find it. I don't know why, but what if it's somewhere else? Wherever it is, I want to find it. And with cousin Pinkie will-

Pizzaniac Peach Pie. Are you hearing yourself just now? You’re thinking about leaving your home, going after something that isn't going to help to keep this family business alive. You got a meeting with Hoydy Toydy about your next modeling contract and your promise isn't going to save this restaurant. Do you think your happiness is better than your future!?

That’s your future for me, not mine.

Yes, but who is the one who agrees to it?

. . . .

Pizzaniac, I know how you feel-

Don’t call me that. And you don't know how I feel!

''Pasta was stunned when Pizza pie rebelled against him. " D-Did you just raise your voice at me, young lady?!

You heard me, I don’t want anyone to call me by my full name!

It is the name me and your mother gave you. It’s who you are.

I am not some trophy daughter for you to show off to your friends and customers! I don't wanna be like this anymore! it’s not me Papa!

This is the best possible future I could give you Pizzaniac. It's what I worked hard for. Because someday you're going to take over this business! This is what’s best for you.

Best for me? . . . . Best for me?! “She stomps her hoof on the ground, and angrily looks at her Papa.” I spent my life, doing everything you say. I sacrificed my fillyhood, by never leaving the house or making any friends! I did all those without complaints! You wanted me to be like this even if I don't want to! And it's only because you can't get over our loss!

. . . . .

After Mama died, you couldn't smile anymore, and you keep blaming yourself. I couldn’t bear to see my Papa miserable, so I had to do something. I try to be a good daughter to you and hope I can make you smile again. No matter what it takes, even if I threw away my needs.

. . . . .

So now, I finally found my only happiness in years, and I wanted to follow it. But you won’t let me! Why Papa? Is it because it's not best for me? or are you just scared of losing me too?

You have no right to pin your own selfish needs towards me! You can't find happiness out there-

Selfish? . . . My happiness is up to me! And I'm not gonna let you, or anyone else decide what makes me happy!

!!! . . .

So if you can't see that, then you clearly don't care about me and my feelings!

. . . .

That was the only time I yelled at Papa. All the sadness that's building up inside, burst out of me like a volcano. And I finally got the courage to stand up for myself. Papa just stood there speechless, he didn't expect me to hear those words from me. But still, even if we argue all day, I won’t back down. I made a promise and I'm planning to keep it, no matter what. It may sound selfish for leaving Papa. But this is something I want to prove to him, that I can be more than what he wants me to be.

Pizzaniac I . . .

. . . .

I-I'm . . . . I'm sorry. . .

. . . . . .

I'm sorry for raising my voice. I'm sorry for pushing you, and I'm sorry I didn't listen.

. . . . . . .

You were right. No matter how much I focus on working, No matter how much success we're getting, and no matter how hard you try. I- I couldn't smile like before. "Pasta walks up to the altar holding Mia's picture frame." Losing Mia was my fault, she wanted me to be by her side. But instead, I work through her last days, hoping to earn enough to save her.

Papa . . . .

I let my worries get my way from seeing your Mama say goodbye to us . . . I was torn . . . I was weak. To think raising you is something I can handle alone but, after hearing what you said. I realize now, that I'm not a good Father to you.

"Pasta leans on the wall crying, her daughter behind him watches. Pizza pie is torn after seeing her Papa broke down. She set-aside her frustration and goes up to him, patting his back."

Papa . . . It wasn't your fault. You did all you can, to be a good Papa, and for helping Mama to stay longer with us. And also . . .

. . . . .

Mama left me her last works. . . She said-

Pizzaniac dear. Look after you Papa. He's strong on the outside, but soft on the inside. He will cry a lot when I'm gone. "Mia touch Pizza's cheeks and Pizza pie held her mother's hoof." So try your best to make him happy, on what you can accomplish someday. Promise that . . .

. . . Mia s-said that? . . .

"Pizza gently nodded." That's why I didn't hear mecomplain. Because it's what I promised to Mama. I-I wanted to tell you, but I think I should wait until you're truly proud of me . . .

Sweetie . . . “Pasta hugged her daughter in shame All the things he's done were rewinding in his mind.” I . . . I'm so sorry that you had to be this way. I made you miss out on all opportunities to be a normal filly and even get your cutiemark.

. . . .

And of course, I'm proud of you, every single day. If your mother were here, I would've told her myself. Can you ever forgive me?

“Pizza wiped her Papa’s tears and replied.” Well . . . you can start by calling me Pizza Pie. “She hugged her Papa and he hugs back.” I forgive you Papa. After all, we're family, even if its just the two of us.

"Pasta softly chuckled." Not just the two of us. Give me your hoof.

"As she did, Pasta puts something on Pizza's hoof. She looks at it and sees, a train ticket to Equestria and a check allowance. She looks up to her Papa, smiling at her."

I knew about your promise to each other before. So I earned this in secret, in case the time is right. And that time is now. You fulfill your Mama's promise, so fulfill this one for your cousin.

. . . . .

You may go. Only, if you promise to mail me from time to time.

"Pizza's hoof shakes and her tears drop on the ticket. She smiles and gives her Papa a big hug." I-I'll tell you all about it when I get there. Thank you Papa.

Papa and I finally understand each other. It’s been years since we feel like a family again. And it's all thanks to cousin Pinkie. Days later, I say goodbye to Papa and some friends as I'm on my way to fulfill my Pinkie promise. My first stop in Equestria is on my uncle's rock farm. They were surprised to see me, Lime and Marble were the same as ever. I also finally get to meet my aunt and cousin Maud.

Back in Mitaly, I didn’t notice that cousin Pinkie already had her cutiemark. They told me she got hers after she threw a party at their farm, so I did the same thing. skipping forward and I finally got the same cutiemark as hers. But we didn't stop there, they also help me with my look too.

Aunt and Uncle wrote a letter, telling Pinkie that I'm here and be moving to ponyville. What they didn't mention is how I look. We wanted it to be a surprise, not only I kept my promise, but also looking like cousin Pinkie as a part of it. And that’s the whole story. Why I’m here, where my nickname came from, got my cutie mark, and, how my life turned for the better.

"The ponies teared up from Pizza pie's touching story. Pinkie turns to her cousin, in tears and smiling. She gives Pizza a hug and she hugged back. After a few hours, It was late. The party ended, and the mares parted ways for the night.”

“Rainbow dash zooms out of the castle first.” Good night, thanks for the party you guys!

It was a nice story Pizza pie, thank you for sharing with us. “Fluttershy waves at the pie cousins while dragging Angel home.”

Likewise, it was nice to hear your side of the story sugarcube. "said Applejack, shaking Pizza's hoof."

I agree, come by at my boutique sometime darling. And share more of your stories, especially the part where ponies there recognize my fabulous work-

Alright, that's enough naw Rairty. "Applejack pulls Rarity tail, dragging her home." The uptown mare needs a good rest. We'll see ya'll tomorrow.

Applejack let go of my tail this instant! W-We'll talk some other time dear.

Alright then, We’ll see you two tomorrow.

“Twilight, Pinkie pie, and Pizza pie waves at them at the castle doors.”

Well, this was quite a fun welcome party. I hope you enjoyed it Pizza pie.

I certainly did, plus sharing my life story helped me feel comfortable with my cousin's friends.

I gotta say, I'm amazed that you still hold on to a Pinkie promise. Even if it was years ago, you manage to remember and fulfill it too. You sure loved your cousin, Pizza pie.

That's right. "Pinkie leans onto her. Tired, Pinkie's eyes got heavy, and she couldn't stand up. Pizza giggled and replied." She saved me from myself, so why wouldn't I?

“Twilight waves at Pizza pie, while carrying her tired cousin on her back. As they made it to Sugar Cube Corners, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were waiting outside. They were surprised to see two Pinkie pies walking towards them. As they got closer they immediately tell them apart. They welcome Pizza pie and introduce themselves. Later, Pinkie was put to bed by her cousin, then she goes to her bed next to Pinkie's. Couldn't sleep, she pulls out a Paper and Quill from her pouch, and starts writing under the moonlight.”

Dear Papa.

How are you? How is the restaurant? I hope it's going well over there. As for me, I'm finally at Equestria. Well, Ponyville to be specific. But I did stop by Uncle Igneous's farm, and reunite with cousin Marble and Lime pie. They haven't changed a bit also, I met Aunt Quartz and cousin Maud, they were nice too.

They said cousin Pinkie moved out of their home to find her happiness elsewhere. Sounds familiar huh? Anyway, I stayed there for a week, getting ready to follow her to ponyville. When we reunited, she was so happy she fell asleep first.

"Pizza pie looks over at her cousin, Pinkie pie is fast asleep while nomming on her pillow. Pizza quietly giggled and resumes writing."

She's still the same happy pink cousin when I first met her back home. . . . I miss you Papa, and I'll send you more letters to you as promised.

Pizzaniac

"She folds her letter and hid it under the bed. She rolls over, facing the window, looking at the moon."

I hope things do go my way from now on.

Prologue

Scroll of Modesty Chapter 0: Prologue

"Before Friendship, there was Harmony, before there was Harmony, there was Unity.

The elders use to tell young children stories about Equestria’s legends. When the time of peace, the goddess of creation kept the balance between Ponies, Griffins, Dragons, and all species living in the farness lands. Then, all that suddenly change when the outbreak of the Nightmares began.

Only the Elements of Unity, the first elements to exist at the time, are wielded by three powerful mares who can bring back the peace that once held. But when Equestria is in need of hope, they vanished.

As the nightmares nearly conquered Equestria, the father of chaos and master of magic had created something no one has once seen. It was left describe as a living power. Its capabilities are unknown, but in myth rumors it could also end the Nightmare uprising, should the elements of Unity fail. But just like the three mares, it disappeared. All hope was lost and the reign of darkness lasted for millennia.

A thousand years later, two alicorn sisters have discovered six new elements that appeared from an ancient tree in the everfree forest. No one knows how it got there, but some might say it's a replacement of the lost elements back in the early eras. The sisters harness its magic and use it against the remaining threats in Equestria, until it reaches the time the two sisters will turn on each other.

After the elder sister vanishes her only sibling, she decided that she would pass down the elements to six ponies who are intrusted of its power. Today the six elements known as the Elements of Harmony, are now wielded by six finest ponies. One of them is a young alicorn named Twilight Sparkle. A newly coronated princess of friendship, living in a peaceful village called ponyville. And with her friends, they will spread the magic of friendship all across Equestria.

Some have forgotten the legend of the elements of unity and the unknown living power ever existed. But because its forgotten, doesn't truly mean it's gone."
