Author's Note

The second part is Toola-Roola's POV

30+1: I Speak Pink

Scootaloo grinned. "Alright, I think we lost 'em. C'mon!"
Luna nodded, trotting outside. Back to the staircase. The two galloped upstairs and flung the door open. Inside was a fairly empty room just like their attic- but lying on the floor, presumably asleep.....
Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Sweetie Belle and StarSong SkyHigh.
Scootaloo galloped over to Sweetie Belle, gently shaking her. "Wake up, Sweetie!"
"Eh?" asked the filly, fluttering her eyes open.
"Wake up, we're escaping!"
"What?" asked StarSong, sitting up. Twilight and Sunset stared around. Luna grinned. "Follow me."

"Minty....Pleathe, I want you to think about thith......."
Smack.
Minty grinned. "Finally, I get to emerge from the shadows! Ahh Pinkie Pie, your time is up. Finally. I get to be the important one now! I'm going to change all the history books to say I saved Twinkle Wish!"
"That'th more of a minor annoyanthe, actually.....Bethideth, you've got all of five minuteth to kill me with your bare hooveth."
"Eh? Actually, don't tell me. I don't have time for useless explanations."
She raised her hoof above her head and brought it down against Pinkie's head. Pinkie screamed aloud. It was impossible to tell if she was saying something gibberish or just screaming. Minty laughed. "See? You've already lost-"
"Tha mi a 'toirt rabhadh dhut. Feumaidh tu gus an deach i a 'tighinn gu gèilleadh agus duilich. Coisich, a Minty. Tha fios agam a tha thu ann an sin. Dè thachair do you-"
"Gosh, you completely butchered that. Seriously, what sort of weird translater did you use?"
They turned. A familiar pale pink pony with straight multicoloured hair. She blew her mane out of her eye. "Stay away from my friend."
"Toola-Roola?" demanded Minty. "How did you get here?"
Pinkie Pie grinned. "I thpeak pink."

"Cheerilee, darling? Celestia?"
"Rainbow Dash? Kimono?"
They stared at each other for a few seconds, then embraced each other in a four-way hug.
"Sparkleworks is checking to see if they managed to sneak off," explained Kimono. "Any luck?"
"No," muttered Cheerilee sadly. "And I keep hearing these weird voices in my head..."
"Same here," agreed Kimono. "I assumed it was just this weird place. I mean, how many pocket universes did you two see there were?"
"Eight," muttered Rainbow bitterly. "And multiple animatronic-death-pizzerias."
That was when they heard hoofsteps.
"Sparkleworks?" asked Kimono. The orange pony trotted into view. Twilight, Sunset, Scootaloo, Luna and Sweetie Belle followed close behind.
"Apparently these two had some sort of escape plan."
Scootaloo and Luna uneasily looked at each other. Each raised their hooves and pointed towards the other. "Her idea!"
Celestia and Cheerilee glared at each other. "Your sister's been encouraging my sister to be an idiot!"
"Your sister's been encouraging my sister to be an idiot!"
"Your sister's been encouraging my sister to be an idiot!"
"Your sister's been encouraging my sister to be an idiot!"
"Your sister's been encouraging my sister to be an idiot!"
"Your sister's been encouraging my sister to be an idiot-"
"Um, darlings, don't you think we should perhaps get going, darlings, maybe?"
They rolled their eyes. "I guess you're right.....but Scootaloo, don't you ever do that again!"
Scootaloo nodded, with a grin on her face that clearly said she was going to do it again, soon.
"The others," muttered Kimono. "Pinkie Pie and Minty. Have any of you seen them?"
They all shook their heads, looking uneasily at each other.
"Am I the only one who keeps hearing voices?" asked Cheerilee.
"Me too," mumbled Kimono. "Maybe we should go down to one of the other corridors, one of the dead end ones, it says they'll be there...."
"Right," answered Sparkleworks. "Let's go somewhere because a voice in your head said to. That's not crazy at all."
Cheerilee and Kimono ignored her and trotted off. Scootaloo galloped to her sister's side and followed. Luna grabbed Sweetie Belle's hoof and roughly pulled her forward, trotting after them. Celestia rolled her eyes and flew forward.
"Princess Celestia!" yelped Twilight instinctively, galloping. Sunset sighed and went after her. Rainbow Dash bit her lip. "I suppose I'd better go too, darlings."
Eventually all of them were blindly following somepony else down the corridors until Kimono and Cheerilee came to a halt. They stared. Minty, looking somehow darker than normal, glaring daggers at them all, especially Pinkie Pie and Toola-Roola.

"Get lost. Get the hell away from me."
I watched Minty rear up onto her hind legs and come crashing down, growling. She maliciously stepped towards me, raising her front hoof. I dodged out of the way just before she could strike me, blowing my mane out of my eyes. Then she galloped for me again, and this time I wasn't quick enough. I felt her hoof hit me and I fell to the ground.
I know it was reckless, and stupid, and at that range I was probably going to be worse off. I know it was dumb, that I wasn't thinking straight, that if I had waited a few seconds the others would have just pulled her away from me. Hell, if I tried I could probably dodge away on my own. Maybe the blow to the head had me not thinking straight.
Or, more likely, I was just an idiot.
Anyway, the details don't matter. All you need to know is that in a fit of idiocy, I decided to yell out the words I knew would have Celestia, Twilight, Sunset and Sweetie Belle doing whatever they could.
"Guys! Some sort of magic- help!"
I don't really know what happened afterwards. I think I was out cold for a minute or two, we all ran like mad, somehow I ended up back at the staircase, here I am now.
That was when it started getting bonkers.
I saw a flash of light and then I was standing in the grass. I stared down at myself. White coat, with prominent pink hooves Well, that's not too drastic a difference. My mane fell into my eyes. I blew it up, seeing that at least part of it was orange. I instinctively turned around to see my Cutie Mark, which was mostly outlines of hearts, and my tail- orange, pink and purple. A glance at my mane told me it was the same. Gosh, I look like Sunny Daze.
Is it just me, or am I taller? And skinnier. Basically what every stallion ever wants.
"Toola-Roola, darling! Wake up!"
I opened my eyes. A bunch of ponies kneeling over me looking worried, Pinkie and the others. I stood up. Back to myself. I was outside. Had they dragged me out? I guess they must have. I scanned the crowd. "Minty?"
"She's...." Kimono explained. "I think she's not herself at the moment. Possibly some form of magical corruption that took advantage of her hidden insecurities that managed to reach her after the.....greyed-out incident-"
"I meant where is she now."
"Oh. She's been out cold for a few minutes since that spell. Pinkie says her normal shade of green is coming back."
Pinkie Pie trotted into view, an unconscious Minty on her back. "Apple and Puddinghead are on their way, we'd better go."
