P-Quest: A Weird Adventure Around Equestria

Rip.

Lyra Heartstrings opened her eyes. In the darkness of her bedroom, cuddling with a sleepy Bon Bon in her bed, she tought she heard a noise coming from somewhere nearby. Looking around, the mint-green unicorn scouted the darkness for any sign of trouble, but it remained exactly how she left before going to sleep. Dismissing the noise as a figment of her imagination, Lyra hugged Bon Bon tighter and tried to go back to sleep.

RIP.

Lyra sat in her bed immediately. Now she was certain there was something wrong. Her horn flared with a golden aura, and a light was created to lit the room. "Is somepony there?" she asked, looking all around, but nobody came. Lyra didn't go back to sleep now, she was too suspicious of the strange noise.

RIIIIIIIIIP!

"Bon Bon! Wake up!" she said, with a drop of sweat running down her forehead. Lyra shaked her sleeping marefriend, but Bon Bon simply rolled over to her side. Seeing how adorable she looked in her sleep, Lyra could only smile. How could she wake up such cute fil—

RIIIIIIIP- VRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Lyra jumped from her bed at the loud sound of a motor being turned on. "AH! BON BON WAKE UP NOW!" she shouted, shaking Bon Bon's sleeping body frantically. Since the earth pony didn't react, Lyra started to slap her marefriend's face continuously. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

Pieces of wood and concrete started to fall from the ceiling. Lyra turned her head upwards to see something making a hole in the ceiling, something loud and motorized. Turning to Bon Bon, who was still sleeping like a stone, Lyra cast a protection spell, creating a golden and translucid sphere around her and her companion.

A hole cracked on the ceiling, the concrete and wood falling into a pile on the floor. Lyra looked to the hole to see the pink face of a mare sticking her head through the orifice she just made on the ceiling with her chainsaw.

"HI GUUUURLS!" said Pinkie Pie with a disturbing fake voice before starting to crawl on the walls. She had a chainsaw attached to her foreleg, her mane completely straight, smelling like gasoline and covered in some dark red liquid that looked suspiciously like blood.

Lyra sighed and cancelled her protection spell. "Oh, it's just you Pinkie Pie. Why are you demolishing my house with a chainsaw in the middle of the night?"

Pinkie jumped from the wall and landed in front of the bed. "I'm on a very very important quest to find the Silly Coins that my future self lost! My Pinkie Sense told me that there was a Silly Coin here, so I came for a visit! A surprise visit!" said the party pony, and then she summoned her party cannon and shot a stream of confetti at Lyra. "SURPRISE!"

Lyra spat out the confetti and stared at the invader. "That's WAS a surprise Pinkie."

"I know, right!?" she said, putting her cannon away. "So, where are you hiding the Silly Coin? Do you wanna play hide and seek? Oooh! Better idea! Do you wanna help me find the coins around the world? It will be so much fun! Like a multiplayer easter egg hunting!"

Lyra rolled her eyes. "Of course Pinkie, I'd love to help you! It's not like a have something better to do at three o'clock, like, let's say, sleeping."

"Great! So let the hunt begin!" said Pinkie, oblivious to Lyra's sarcasm and dragging her downstairs.

The two ponies start to look around the house in search for the Silly Coins. Pinkie with her never-ending energic behaviour, was much ahead of Lyra, looking at, in, on, over, under and into every piece of furniture in the unicorn's house (but she was still gentle enough to not make a mess of the place).

Meanwhile, Lyra was looking in the kitchen. She had looked under the table, under the sink, over the fridge, and for some reason, even INTO the fridge.

"Urgh, this is ridiculous,"  she muttered to herself, as she walked to the sink to get glass of water. "I should simply tell Pinkie to go away and look for her coins in other place, or at least come back after Celestia raises the sun."

She turned the sink on, but no water flowed out of it. The pipe made a noise like it was clogged with something. "What is that? Come on, I'm dehydratating here!" Lyra cried out in frustration, and punched the pipe with her foreleg. To her surprise, the pipe spat out a golden coin into the glass, a coin engraved with an image of Princess Cadance wearing her crown upside-down and licking a lollipop.

"Uh, Pinkie, is this what you where looking for?" said Lyra, holding the coin in her telekinesis and trotting to the other room.

Pinkie jumped from behind of a couch and looked at the tiny coin. "Yes! You found it! Thank you Lyra!" she said, grabbing the coin in her mouth and putting it on her saddlebags.

Lyra smiled. "Hey, this is actually rather funny!" she said, considering her options. She wouldn't be able to sleep after all that, and since she was apparently stuck with Pinkie, she might as well enjoy the whole experience. "Mind if I come with you in search for this Silly Coins?"

"Of course not! Welcome to my party, Lyra," said the pink mare, shaking Lyra's hoof. "But wait, you will need a weapon of choice!"

"What? Why?"

"To protect yourself from eventual monsters, silly!" said Pinkie, turning her chainsaw on. "That's why I'm carrying this baby! Or did you though that I was going to cut some trees or something? You know, I was a rock farmer, not a lumberjack. There's not many trees to cut where I used to liv—"

Lyra suddenly cast a spell and a lyre appeared floating in her telekinesis. "Hey Pinkie, look, I've chosen a weapon! You can stop your pointless blabbering now."

"Cool! Not let's go find the other Silly Coins before this story gets even weirder!" she said, bouncing her way to the door and shattering the fourth wall in the process. But before opening the door, Pinkie stopped. She started to float in the air and having violent convulsions.

Lyra gasped and rushed to her friend. "Pinkie! What's happening?! Are you having a heart attack?! Hold on, I think I have a defibrilator somewhere!" she said, promptly looking around the main room and finding a defibrilator in a box over a bookshelf.

"WAIT!" Pinkie managed to shout before Lyra could electrocute her to death. "This is just my Pinkie Sense! It's telling me to… TAKE COVER!"

Before Lyra could react, Pinkie threw herself behind the couch, just in time for a something crash into the door, breaking it in half and colliding with Lyra. From the unicorn's perspective, she saw the door exploding, a blur of gray and yellow flying in her direction, a scream, a pain in her forehead followed by her vision turning blood-red and then both her vision and conscience faded to black.
