"What'cha doing, Twilight?" asked Pinkie Pie from seemingly nowhere. Twilight had been so entranced in thought trying to reorganize her entire collection of books that she became slightly startled for a moment before she realized it was just Pinkie Pie and her normal antics: something she thought she would have been accustomed to by now.
"Oh, just doing some reorganizing," she replied with a tired sigh as she wiped her face with a hoof and put a book in its place.
"Oooh, organizing?" Pinkie Pie continued. "I love organizing! I organize everything about everypony -- their likes, dislikes, favorite drinks, favorite colors, their hobbies, favorite pastimes, favorite..."
Pinkie Pie continued spweing out a long list of intricate details about every data point she kept on record for everypony she had ever met, and Twilight half-listened with her mind still in organization mode. For a moment, she thought she heard Pinkie say 'favorite undersea mammal', but couldn't be sure if she heard her correctly.
"...and their favorite type of balloon, of course! There are sooo many types: round ones, long and skinny ones, balloon animals--"
"Pinkie--"
"...ones shaped like hearts, ones shaped like stars, ones shaped like--"
"Yeah, Twilight?" Pinkie Pie responded quickly and then had a sudden realization. "Oh, right, you were organizing. I'll let you get back to that."
"Thanks, Pinkie Pie," Twilight replied. "...wait, didn't you come here to talk about something?"
Pinkie Pie replied with a high-pitched 'nope' and gleefully pranced across the room and out of the window as Twilight watched with a mixture of awe and confusion, and then resumed her organizing.
"How'sit going?" asked Pinkie Pie with her face smushed up against the glass of Fluttershy's Cottage, her voice muffled.
Fluttershy gave a startled stare from across the room inside her home at Pinkie Pie, who was still pressed up against the window with a smile on her face. She walked over to the window.
"Mhmmhh Mhhmh hmmhm hmmh!" said Pinkie Pie, before Fluttershy opened the window.
"Hello, Pinkie Pie," Fluttershy said gently.
"Your windows taste funny," she replied nonchalantly. "Doing anything interesting?"
"Well, I was about to make a salad for Angel and then maybe sip some tea and enjoy the nice cool breeze."
"Oooh, that sounds super interesting. What kind of salad? Ceasear? Celery salad? Egg salad? Fruit salad?"
"Um, just...salad salad."
"Neat-o-rama! Nothing beats the classics, ya know. Ya know? You know. I know you know. No?"
"Is there something you came by to tell me?" Fluttershy interjected softly.
"Nope, just seein' what's up. But you're busy -- that's okay. Enjoy your salad salad and tea tea!"
Pinkie Pie dashed off in a streak of pink into the distance.
"Howdy, there!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie as she rocketed out from behind a bale of hay outside the Apple family's barn.
"Hey, sugarcube. Nice day isn't it?" replied Applejack as she stopped plowing the fields for a moment.
"Did'ya get suprised?" she asked excitedly.
"Sorry, Pinkie, I could hear ya a mile away with all that gleeful humming you were doin' down the road."
"Rats...foiled again! And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for...me!"
Applejack resumed plowing the field, and Pinkie Pie trotted bouncily next to her. "Plowin' fields?"
"Yup"
"That's rad."
"...Yup"
"I've thought about growing a garden before," Pinkie Pie said after a few more moments of following beside Applejack, who was sweating and pulling hard to keep the plow going. "But I did some research, and it turns out that gardening requires a lot of time. Sometimes, things don't grow for weeks. I dunno how you do it, Applejack. You're a real hard-workin' pony."
"Well thanks, sugarcube," Applejack replied and immediately grunted as she pulled the plow over a large rock.
"No problemo!"
She continued prancing along Applejack. "So, how much longer 'til you're finished plowing?"
Applejack stopped for a moment to wipe the sweat from her brow. "A few hours, probably."
"Oh," said Pinkie Pie. "Well, I guess I'll see you around then."
Applejack resumed plowing and Pinkie Pie walked normally towards Ponyville.
"What's up?"
"Oh, hey Pinkie Pie," said Rainbow Dash from above as she napped on a cloud.
"You are!" she exclaimed. Dash let out a very small chuckle. "Ooh, but what's upper than you? The clouds, I guess. Then what? The sky? But then what's upper than that? The moon? Then...the stars? And then what?"
Pinkie Pie started to escalate rapidly and speak more loudly. "What's upper than that? Rainbow Dash, what's upper than that? Nopony knows!"
"I guess not," replied Dash with a small yawn.
"Oooh, I've got a good one. What's down? The ground, right? Then there's...uh...dirt. And then...more dirt. And then..."
"More dirt, probably." replied Rainbow Dash. "Hey, Pinkie, did you need to tell me anything?"
"Not really," she said in a normal tone. "You look busy, though, I'll head off now."
"Normally, I'd totally be down to hang with you, Pinkie Pie, but I just spent all day wrangling clouds and I am totally exhausted."
"That's okey-dokey," she replied. "See ya later!"
She walked into Ponyville and headed towards the Carousel Boutique.
"Bon-jory, Rarity!"
"It's bonjour, Pinkie Pie, and hello to you as well." Rarity put down her needle and thread with her magic and got out from behind her work desk. "Is there something you need?"
"Not really," Pinkie said dejectedly. "I've been to everypony and they're all suuuuper busy. I feel like I'm gonna explode. But it looks like you're super busy too, so I'll just let you continue your work and be on my way..."
"Actually, I could quite use a break myself," Rarity replied. "I'm absolutely famished. What would you say about heading down to the cafe and getting a bite to eat?"
Pinkie Pie's eyes lit up as she took in a humongous breath, sucking up a metric ton of air in the process and her entire body tensed up in the penultimate moments before the gigantic release of energy and happiness. Rarity braced herself for the impact.
"Okay," Pinkie Pie replied, perfectly calm.
