A grey, grey world

Pinkie shook herself and stared. After her last adventure, this wasn't what she had expected at all! It was just like her rock farm, but more...livable, she guessed. A pony appeared. She was grey, she was miserable, she was...she was RAINBOW DASH! Pinkie couldn't believe it. Her most colourful friend was so drab!

"Um...hi!"Pinkie Pie said. "How is it?" She didn't think that she would get a happy response.

"I am Grey," the pony replied.

"I can s-s-see that,"Pinkie stammered. "But...what's your name?" She hoped her friend would jump up, talking about the amazing joke she had played on poor Pinkie. But it was the complete opposite reaction.

"I said, my name is GREY!" she screamed in frustration. "Are you deaf? Are you sure? And you have the cheek to think that I'm your FRIEND?"Pinkie was shocked.

"But I never said that," Pinkie stuttered.

"Of course you didn't!" Grey screamed. "But you thought it! Yes, I can read minds." Pinkie wailed in despair. She wanted friends. She wanted to go home.

"Home again?" murmured the same scorching voice. "I thought this would satisfy you."

"How can I trust you?" sobbed Pinkie Pie. "You never took me home."

"Ah, that is because you didn't truly wish for it," murmured the voice. "Anyway, I want company, and you are the perfect material, Pinkie Pie. Oh well, maybe you'll change your mind." BANG! Pinkie was whisked away. Pink stars blinded her. And finally, she crash landed. Right in the middle of a war zone.

Epilogue: A heartbreak

"Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash wailed. "Where are you? Come home!" Twilight sat beside her, along with Fluttershy, Rarity, and Apple Jack.

"Rainbow, it's hard for all of us," Twilight said, feeling Rainbow Dash's melancholy. "You just gotta suck it up."

"But I don't wanna suck it up!" screamed Rainbow Dash rudely. She got up and pushed Twilight away. Fluttershy worriedly got up and followed her.

"Rainbow, look, I know how you feel..." began Fluttershy. Rainbow whirled around accusingly.

"No, no you don't. You will never, ever know, because you are just too scared!" Rainbow Dash retorted. Fluttershy burst into tears and Rainbow Dash realized what a terrible thing she had done. She turned and sped off through the air.

"Rainbow Dash, get back 'ere!" yelled Apple Jack. "We will find you. You do NOT do this to your friends. You will not get away with this!" She shook her hoof a the speck in the sky the was Rainbow Dash, speeding away from the one she had offended so much.

"Oh, darling, it is all okay," Rarity murmured under her breath to Fluttershy. Fluttershy wailed even more loudly, bringing Angel Bunny helter skelter over the hills to comfort her. He snuggled close to her, comforting her in rabbit language.

"Rainbow Dash is a huge coward," mumbled Twilight, gritting her teeth in frustration. She screamed up at the sky.

"WHOEVER TOOK PINKIE, YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, YOU HORRIBLE CREATURE OR PONY !"

One different pony...

"La la la, baking cupcakes," sang Pinkie. Then she started thinking. What would her life be like if she didn't work at Sugar Cube Corner? And for Pinkie, that was DEEP thinking. Suddenly, stars surrounded her and she was whisked away.

"Oh-my-gosh!" screamed Pinkie Pie. She was standing in a land full of candy. It wasn't just full of it, it was made of it! She scrambled over to a lemonade lake. Gummy was swimming around. But he wasn't a baby crocodile any more. He was a full grown, savage looking crocodile!

"Wow, Gummy, look at you!" yelled Pinkie Pie. "This calls for a party!"

"Queen Pinkie Pie!" yelled Twilight, who had appeared at Pinkie's side.

"Oh, hi Twi!" said Pinkie. "Why are you a unicorn? I mean, last time I saw you , you were an alicorn!"

"An alicorn?" What do you mean, I've always been a unicorn! I'll never be an alicorn like you!" exclaimed Twilight.

"Me? An alicorn? You're joking." She clanced at her reflection, but instead of an earth pony, an alicorn stared back. Pinkie screamed. "Ahhh, I don't wanna be an alicorn! They have to go to TOO MANY meetings! I wanna go home!" she sobbed.

"You want to go home?" murmered a burning voice. "That can be arranged." Then, there was a bang, pink stars exploded around her and she landed in Sugar Cube Corner. Then, the world swirled around her, and she landed in a grey, drab world.

The war

Pinkie Pie screamed. An army was heading right for her. Her hooves pounded the forest floor as her earth pony magic forced her to move on.

"Mysterious voice, help me!" she cried.

"My name is Sunset Shimmer," she drawled. "And when you go back home, this is what it will be like. Your friends are looking for you. In fact, they have been looking for you for 3 days. If you come with me, I can lead you to a better future, that you would enjoy. On one condition. You must agree to forget your friends." Pinkie Pie gasped.

"Forget my friends? But...they've done so much for me!" Pinkie whispered, out of breath.

"Very well, then. I will leave you here. Let me know when you have decided." And with that, Sunset Shimmer was gone. Pinkie Pie thought, hidden from the army. I do NOT want enemies, she thought, and if I go home I'll have enemies around every corner. Hmm, Sunset sounds nice. Should I go with her? No. I can't desert my friends. But I don't want enemies. I'll ask Sunset Shimmer to let me see what it's like in my time.

"Right away," giggled Sunset. "Have fun...NOT!" She cackled, and Pinkie went home.

"Pinkie Pie must die! Pinkie Pie must die!" chanted a crowd of ponies. Pinkie Pie gulped. She scuttled away to spy on Rainbow Dash. She heard Rainbow Dash before she saw her.

"Alright, troops!" shouted Rainbow. "Send your best scouts to find Pinkie and bring her UNHARMED to me. The key word being UNHARMED."

"Right away, Dash,"chorused the Wonderbolts. They zoomed off.

"Sunset?" whispered Pinkie, her voice cracking. "I think I'd rather go with you."

"Okay. Now count to 3 and say 'Forget all my friends.'" murmured Sunset Shimmer. Pinkie obeyed. And she was whisked away.
