Exploring The Mind of Pinkamena Diane Pie

The deepest parts of Pinkie Pie's mind was turning out to be the most frightening to the 5 mares. Instead of the colorful, child-like setting that could easily be seen in previous destinations, it looked cold and empty. It was sending chills through Twilight Sparkle's mind just thinking about it.

"Alright girls, stay close." the alicorn ordered, worry seeking through her voice.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Rarity shuttered, she shook her hooves in a frightened expression.

The group walked slowly into the cold darkness of Pinkie's mind, being as cautious as they could be. The ghost-town like enviorment was filled with as many Pinkie's as any other, but these ones were different, they felt cold.

"Keep your head's facing down." Rainbow Dash instructed, sweat pouring down her face. The rest of her friends nodded slowly as they repeated Rainbow's actions.

"Excuse me, ma'am?"

A young, quiet voice spoke. The girls looked behind them to find a filly, about 5 years of age, kicking at dirt on the ground. This filly resembled Pinkie Pie greatly, excluding her straight mane.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie! Don't be talking to strangers, again!"

Another voice spoke, this one strict and stern. A greyish-blue mare walked towards the filly, she had yellow thin-framed glasses and luxurious blue hair that she kept up in a high bun.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie? As in Pinkie Pie?" Applejack asked astounded by the coincidence.

"That's her name.." the grey-blue mare smirked, rolling her eyes at the pink filly." Not really sure about the Pinkie Pie, though, she's never been called that before."

"It sounds nice though, mommy, maybe I should keep it!" Pinkamena Diane Pie smiled, doing a little jig at the bright nickname.

"Pinkamena is just fine..just ask the co-subconscious mare that a lucky filly is named after." the blue mare teased, she grabbed Pinkamena tightly, hugging her in the process.

"I don't supposed you are suppose to represent the real Pinkamena's mother?" Rarity asked.

"Yep. The name is Cloudy Quartz, rock farmer's wife." the blue mare chuckled.

"Pinkie Pie's talked about you, she calls to you as the best mother ever! It's probably true!." Fluttershy schmoozed shyly.

"Oh shucks, thank you, Fluttershy." Cloudy blushed.

"Wait, how did you know my name? I don't believe we've met before." Fluttershy asked.

"Pinkamena, would you care to explain to these nice ladies how we know them?" Cloudy Quartz questioned her daughter. The pink filly nodded in excitement.

"Well you see, all minor subconscious mare's go to school for 12 years! Kind of like real ponies, except for the fact that we learn about how to fulfill our role's as subconscious mares! Like I'm supposed to represent the real Pinkamena Diane Pie's fillyhood! I am in charge of her memories as a filly, too! And once we graduate, we fulfill our roles, helping Pinkie Pie grow into the beautiful mare she is, today!" Pinkamena grinned widely.

"Look's like somepony's been studying, but what about how we know them?" Cloudy chuckled.

"Oh ya! Well. Part of our educational goals is to memorize all of Pinkie Pie's friends! This way if a lead subconscious mare's sick or can't preform her duties, one of us minor one's have the exciting chance of taking care of Pinkie Pie for a while!"

"Ah' guess that does explain a lot." Applejack agreed, her friends nodding in agreement.

"It was nice meeting you girls!" Cloudy Quartz said, she picked up Pinkamena and placed her on her back. She began to walk off into the darkness from where she came.

"Goodbye!" Twilight and her friends waved as Cloudy and Pinkamena disappeared into the fog.

They 5 mares began to walk away, maybe this part of Pinkie Pie's brain wasn't so bad after all. They continued their way through the dark environment, giggling and chatting away. After all, Pinkie Pie always told them.

"Giggle at the Ghosties."

⌛

On the outside of Pinkie Pie's mind, Equestria went on with it's daily routine. Spike tidied up the castle a bit, still muttering to himself about his current situation.

"They never take me to do anything.." Spike sighed, as he placed a book into it's original home. He smirked.

"Well I guess I still have you, Pinkie Pie." Spike smiled, he turned to the sleeping mare.

Pinkie Pie snoozed and snore on the bed she lay on, muttering in her sleep peacefully.

"Probably dreaming about ice cream or parties or something." Spike said, he threw his cleaning supplies to the ground.

The dragon ran through the door of the castle guest room and into his own. He picked up a comic book from his bookshelf and jumped on top of his bed.

"Now this is the life." Spike smirked, turning to page one of his comic. He was interrupted by a sound of abnormal volume, screaming.

"No! Stop!"

It frightened Spike a bit, even making him turn in his bed to the door, but she shrugged it off as another of Pinkie Pie's sleep talking. Her continued to his comic with delight as he turned to the next page.

"Please! Let me go!"

There it was again.

"Is she having a nightmare or something?" Spike asked, clearly annoyed. He put his eyes back on his comic.

"NOOOO!"

Spike slammed his comic to the floor, and ran out his bedroom. Whatever Pinkie Pie was doing better be important. He busted through the doors of the guest bedroom, slamming the door in the process.

"What's wrong Pinkie Pie?!" Spike questioned the pink mare. He found her on the floor and twitching uncontrollably, she was still sleep talking as well, almost as if she was having a conversation in her dream. Even changing tone every so often.

"Your time is done, Surprise!"

"Pinkamena stop!"

"Pinkie Pie?" Spike said, getting a bit creeped out. He took a claw and touched Pinkie's right front hoof.

The mare resumed to her normal peaceful sleep, tears falling out her eyes. Spike stared at her for a moment before turning away,

"Better keep a close eye on her." said Spike, closing the door behind him.

There left the pink mare, still weeping quietly to herself. She opened her eyes a little, they were completely white. She muttered one last thing before drifting off to sleep once more.

"Spike..Don't leave me.."
