Purple

  As Inkie trotted home, something caught her eye. As it was late, the only ponies up were the 24/7 markets and businesses. But Inkie was used to being up late when the rock farm needed extra help at night. Pinkie always slept early though.....while in her thoughts, she remembered something big was coming up, and looked up at the sky. A giant...rainbow of sort flew over the land, puffing up Inkie's newly dyed hair.

Was...was this meant...for me? she asked herself as she noticed her hair looked like Pinkie's when she left. A big grin appeared on her face. So my dream IS coming true! She beamed even wider. She would be like her favorite sister, but still be her own person. As she admired her poofy, yellow hair, she remembered that she should start heading to Ponyville after all this progress she suddenly made. So, she picked up her Bits Pouch, and walked over to the train conductor to ask for a ticket. Soon, she would be reunited with her sister, and they would all be happy again! And they'll party and she'll get to meet new friends and....she was so excited that a worried conductor reminded her that she had to breath.

  Inkie had a few days to pack up, but she didn't have much. A pretty accurate Pinkie Pie doll that she made by herself, a suit case, and her bits was all she thought she needed. So, she continued with her life goal. Being the most similar pony to Pinkie..... Her sister was her idol. She used to paint her self pink as a tiny foal, but realized she should be her own person, yet very similar to Pinkie. Any less similar she would be mad. So, she dyed herself in bright colors. She can't change her eye color,though. It wasn't very matching, but still very pretty. Her purple eyes weren't as dull after that unusual rainbow. It was actually very bright. She knew she had to make a new name,too. Then she could surprise Pinkie by telling her who she was! She would be so happy!

Surprise

  That sounded perfect. Surprise sounded so perfect. That was what it should be. Not only did it tell what she was going to tell Pinkie, but now it would even fit her new personality! It was settled, then. Inkie would now be known as Surprise the Pegasus, party planning perfectly. I guess that would be a good motto... she wondered. With all that done, she thought she needed a good night's sleep.

Pinkie got up from bed. She was woken up by her Pinkie senses. But, she knew, they were always right. And this one called for going outside. Before she left her bed room, she checked her clock. 3:41. As she trotted down the stairs, she wondered what it could be. When she finally got outside without waking any pony up, she looked up. A....SONIC RAINBOOM!? she thought. It was. A sonic rainboom flew across Ponyville and many other cities and towns. That really poofed up Pinkie's mane. Now it was the poofiest. As she excitedly bounced inside, she got a glass of water. She bounced up the stairs and into her room. She got cozy in her bed, and went to sleep. She felt a Pinkie sense, so she checked it. It meant a flower pot. Pinkie quickly dodged it, and relaxed. She already put the glass away, and cleaned the broken pot. Now she was really tired, and drifted into her dream land. Or candy land.

Inkie woke up. She remembered she still didn't get her cutie mark. She eagerly checked her flank.....but, sadly, nothing was there. Inkie sighed and relaxed again. She held her Pinkie Pie doll tight, knowing that they would be the best of friends and sisters. Inkie had good memory, that was probably the only reason that the family cared for her. Except Pinkie.... she thought. She never was mean, and always cared about *me.*** she remembered the times with Pinkie, and the day she left. She teared up a bit. Don't worry, sister! She thought to herself. I'm coming soon!

After 'Surprise' was finished silently sobbing to herself, she remembered she had a mission. Pinkie wouldn't cry, she would remember that something good is going to happen! She smiled. A very sincere smile after a bad thought. She flew outside to celebrate, and startled most of the ponies near her.

"WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!" She yelled out happily. But, like Pinkie always did, the ponies smiled. Inkie's, though, was the biggest. She felt so proud of herself. She continued her celebration, and ponies continued smiling. She remembered her sister's special song she sang if anyone got sad. "I love to make you smile, smile, smile! Yes I do!" Some ponies joined in, and the ponies who knew Pinkie definitely chimed in.

  Everything was wonderful. And her being very cheerful made her more similar to Pinkie. She could be the replacement element of laughter! And she thought about how she and Pinkie would be. Best friends, of course! she thought. Her eyes and smile widened at the thought. There probably won't be a problem! After she finished celebrating, she thought she would make a party for Pinkie. She would say they should have a party before Pinkie even says it! As she climbed into bed for the night, she thought of those happy things. She snuggled with her Pinkie doll very tight, as if it was the real Pinkie. Inkie knew the next day would be very important, so she went to sleep earlier than last night. She looked out the window at the night sky. Tomorrow would be a nice day...............

Author's Note: Yes, you read that right. Inkie was secretly a Pegasus, and renamed herself Surprise. I got curious to see how this fic would be. I thought of the idea when I noticed that people thought Octavia was Inkie, because of the coat, mane, tail, and eyes. So I thought, What if it were only eyes... And so came this fic. Let's see how it goes :)
