Pinkie Pie Chugs An Energy Drinkby Peaches SparklepantsChaptersToo Much Of A Good ThingHyperactive Mare On The LooseThe Insanity ContinuesToo Much Of A Good ThingThe land of Equestria was bathed in light as Celestia raised the sun, its rays streaming through the window that looked into the window of Ponyville's famous party pony. Just as it did, their awful and noisy daily wake up call commenced. MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! "Ugh..." MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! "Five more minutes..." MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! "Shut up..." The annoying alarm clock continued its repetitive beeping, the pink mare groaning and covering their head with a pillow. "Stop it..." After a few more minutes of the blaring alarm clock, she finally sat right up and shoved it off of the nightstand in anger. It fell to the floor with a clunk, breaking in process. "Finally..." It landed in a pile of several identical alarm clocks, implying that it wasn't the first time this had happened. Her fur was a paler shade than usual, and her hair was droopy and tangled. Dark rings surrounded her eyes, and her fur was matted. Yes, Pinkamena Diane Pie, the most energetic pony in town, was tired. Not just tired- PARTY POOPED. Just last night she had thrown a huge party in honor the Cakes' anniversary, and she swore she could still faintly hear all the previous night's commotion buzzing in her ears. "That was some 'yawn' party, eh Gummy?" The toothless reptilian just blankly stared at her in response before walking away. "Well, can't stay in bed all day. Time to get up and- 'yawn' face the day..." Her eyelids drooped, and she fell into a doze. She began to snore, and she woke with a start. "No! Pinkie, you stay awake!" She stretched, threw off her blanket, and got up from her bed. Heaving another great yawn, she made her way down the stairs and into the Cakes' dining room. Mrs. Cake was frying eggs and bacon while Mr. Cake had his hooves full trying to feed the twins. The smell enticed Pinkie's nostrils, some drool dribbling down her chin. "Mmm..." "Oh?" said Mrs. Cake, hearing Pinkie Pie's moan of hunger. "Good morning, dear." "Morning Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Morning Pumpkin and Pound Cake." "Hello Pinkie", said Mr. Cake as he clenched a spoon between his teeth. He put a spoonful of mashed peas in front of Pound Cake's mouth, only for her to laugh and smack the spoon out of his jaw. "Hey-" It landed on the high chair tray, and soon she was playing in the mess of Foal Food. "Sweet Celestia...", groaned Mr. Cake. Pinkie took her seat, amused by the catastrophe of feeding the twin foals. "Thank you so much for the party last night, Pinkie" Mrs. Cake said as she flipped the food in the skillet, "the decorations, games and treats were just wonderful!" "No 'yawn' problem ma'am!" "Pinkie? Are you alright, dear?" "Huh? Oh y-yeah I'm great! Never 'yawn' better!" "Are you sure? You sound exhausted." "Exhausted?! Are you kidding? I'm the most energetic pony in all of Eques- snore..." She had fallen asleep in middle of the word Equestria. "That doesn't seem very energetic to me. GAH!" Pumpkin Cake had thrown a chunk of her breakfast, some of it getting jammed into her father's left nostril. His shout woke the sleeping mare, and she fell out of the wicker chair. "IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA! Um... did I miss something?" "You should go to back bed Pinkie", said Mrs. Cake as the food was finally finished. She made plates for herself, her husband and Pinkie Pie and brought them to the table. "B-but, who will help you run Sugarcube Corner?! Who'll go around town to hand out samples?! AND WHO WILL BABYSIT THE TWINS?!" "Well Pinkie, in that case I suppose the least we can do is give you something to wake you up. How about some coffee?" Pinkie wrinkled her nose. "Ew gross! No thanks." "Well, then I'm afraid the only option we have left is one of the energy drinks in the fridge." "Really? Wow I've never had one of those before! What do they taste like? Bitter? Sugary? A mixture of bitter and sugary? Spicy? Sweet? Sour? A whole different flavor that I've never had before?!" "It's a bit... hard to explain. It's like fizzy pop, but different." Mrs. Cake opened the fridge, and using her mouth she pulled out a cylindrical aluminum object, which just so happened to be a can of 'Lightning Juice', Equestria's most popular energy drink. Using her teeth, she cracked it open and set it down in front of the sleepy Pinkie Pie. "Here you go, dear." "So this'll make me feel 'yawn' up-and-at-em again?" said Pinkie as she examined the can. "Yes. But you might want to drink it one sip at a-" Too late, Pinkie had grabbed the can with her front hooves, and downed its contents in one sitting. "...time", Mrs. Cake worriedly finished. "Hey I don't feel any different..." As soon as Pinkie said that, her already large eyes widened, and her pupils dilated. Her entire body began to vibrate, and her fur immediately returned its usual shade of hot pink. Her mane and tail puffed back up with a sound similar to a party horn, and with a whoop she sprang up into the air and landed on all fours- right on top of the table. Well, the beverage had definitely served its purpose, but perhaps they should have stuck with the coffee instead. That way, the effect might not have been as drastic. "WHEEEE!" Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked shocked, while the Cake twins just laughed and squealed. "Ifeelsomuchbetternowthankyoubye", Pinkie spat out before zooming out of Sugarcube Corner's front door, leaving a trail of fire behind. "Sweet Celestia what have I done...?", Mrs. Cake moaned with a facehoof. And Miss Pinkie was off, wreaking havoc across the entire town. There was a hyperactive mare on the loose, and this was not good. Chaos was going to ensue- pink, party-esque chaos. And the Cake family was powerless to stop it. Author's Note ...aaaand there you have it, the first chapter of this story. Due to a positively criticizing comment, this story has gone from complete to incomplete. The second chapter contains the craziness of Pinkie's energy burst, so stay tuned. I am working very hard on it, so I hope it'll be satisfactory. :P Wish me luck everypony! Hyperactive Mare On The LoosePinkie Pie was racing here and there about Ponyville's streets, getting concerned stares from the town's equine residents. With this much energy, the entire world seemed open to her. But what should she do first?! Throw biggest, loudest and craziest party ever?! Deck out all of Ponyville in her image?! ...or maybe just visit her friends first and say hi. She decided to visit Twilight Sparkle first, the princess of friendship. She was on the crystalline palace's doorstep in mere moments, rapidly banging on its doors with her front hooves. "Twilight! Twiliiiiight! TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT!!! OPEN UP TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!" This continued for a few minutes, until one of the doors finally opened. Pinkie took a deep breath, ready to shout all sorts of things at her purple furred friend, but stopped short when she saw that Spike was the one who opened the door. "Hey Pinkie what-" "SPIKE!" "Uh yes?" "WHERE'S TWILIGHT! I REALLY, REALLY GOTTA TALK TO HER!" "She's right inside but-" "THANKS SPIKE YOU'RE THE BEST!" She ran right in, running over poor little Spike a steamroller. "Pinkie wait! You might not want to talk to her right now! Come back!" Too late. Pinkie was either too hyper or far away to listen (or both), and the thundering of her energetic hoofbeats seemed to shake the castle's huge hallways. "TWLIGHT!" She got to Twilight's bedroom door and rapped on it in the same manner she did with the entrance, from within the room there was a sharp gasp followed by a crash. Twilight opened the door, looking annoyed. "Pinkie... I was practicing a spell, and when you startled me it kind of... blew up in my face. Literally." Twilight's facial expression went from irritation to concern when saw that Pinkie's pupils were tiny, and her mane and tail were vibrating along with her body like one of those coin operated recliners at the spa. This was a bit much, even for her. "Pinkie Pie are you okay?" "I'M GREAT", Pinkie replied with a jump, and when she landed she stuck out her back left leg in joy- knocking over an expensive looking vase in the process. "Wha- ohI'msosorryTwilightIdidn'tmeantodothat-" "It's okay Pinkie... this castle is full of them. So what did you need?" "Oh nothing much! Only to say hi to one of my best-bestest friends in all of Equestria!" She was jerking and spazzing as she spoke, her eyes darting around in every direction imaginable. "Well now that I've said hi, I gotta say bye bye and run!" "Pinkie wait-" Pinkie had already dashed away, gleefully whooping while doing her signature 'bounce walk'. She went barreling out of the castle's doors (once again running over Spike), off to see another friend. "Pinkie!" Twilight was chasing after her, determined to find out just why Pinkie was crazier than usual, and to make sure she didn't cause any damage to herself or anypony else. Her next stop was Carousel Boutique, and inside Rarity was in the midst of sewing together fabric for her latest clothing design. Pinkie Pie came crashing (literally) through the door, squealing Rarity's name. Startled, Rarity gave a jerk, her magically held needle and thread tearing the colorful sheet of fabric. "HI RARITY", said Pinkie as she ran into the place, moving her head around rapidly. "Er, hello to you as well, darling..." The party pony had a large, unnerving toothy grin, and she was trotting in place. Pinkie Pie was trying to stay in once place this time, but to no avail. She jumped right up in the air, and when she landed she ran about the room, accidentally knocking over mannequins and clothing racks. "D-darling stop! M-my clothes!" Pinkie Pie came to a halt with a sound akin to a vehicle's brakes, and observed the wreckage. "Whup sorry about that Rarity! My bad." "It's quite... alright" Rarity uneasily said as she stared at the damage. "But perhaps you should take all that energy elsewhere. Somewhere less... crowded." "Okie-dokie artichokie!" Pinkie was about to head out the door, but, of course, Opalescence just HAD to come into the room with her sassy, spoiled gait. "HI OPAL!" Pinkie ran to her, attempting to pet her and bring the poor feline into a bone crushing hug. The cat yowled and ran from her, the pink party pony following in close pursuit. "H-hey come back! I just wanna say hello!" Opalescence hissed and growled, baring her teeth and claws. "I've got you know, Opal! Get for... A PINKIE HUG!" She leaped at Rarity's unfortunate pet, who yowled, jumped up, and landed on the ceiling and stuck there, thanks to the help of her claws. Pinkie just kept flying forwards, crashing into yet another clothing rack. "Ow..." She sat up, her eyes comically rolling around as she recovered from the impact. She shook her head as she came back to her senses, stood, bid farewell to the fashionable pony, and ran out of the boutique's doors, her hyperactivity rendering her immune to thoughts of helping to clean up the mess. "Oh bother", said Rarity as she struggled to calm down Opalescence, even bribing her with cat treats. "Come now, it's alright. She's gone now." At that moment, Twilight came in, out of breath. "Whew... I finally caught up... oh no... I'm too late..." Her ears drooped with horror as she saw what had happened. "Lemme guess... Pinkie Pie was here?" "Yes you just missed her. You should have seen it! She just came rushing in and ran all over the place, causing me to tear my work and she scared my cat half to death. What has gotten into her?" "That's my question exactly. I've been trying to keep up with her to prevent, well, this from happening, but turns out I'm too late. Are you okay?" 'Oh yes I'm fine, but I wish I could say the same for all these clothes and my cat..." "Do you know where she went?" "No I'm afraid not. But if I were her, I would've bolted off to see our other friends..." "Th-then I'm going after her! Who KNOWS what will happen!" "I'll stay here and clean up. You go after Pinkie." "Alright. Be seeing you." Twilight ran out, spread her wings, and took flight. She scanned the ground as she searched for the pink pony, but had no luck. "Oh Pinkie... where are you?" Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie off to her next destination, and without a doubt more chaos was to follow. Author's Note And that concludes chapter two! In the third chapter, more of Pinkie's energized antics will take place. Will Twilight be able to capture Pinkie and end her hyper run of terror, or will she not succeed and Ponyville gets destroyed? Stay tuned! The Insanity Continues"There we go, Angel. Nice and clean." Fluttershy was bathing her pet bunny, who was putting up a nasty fight. "I know you don't like getting baths, but you were awfully filthy... please, just hold still..." She gently lifted the bunny out of the wooden washtub and wrapped him in a towel while receiving a glare from her beloved pet. There was a knock at the cottage's door, and she went to answer it while holding the towel-wrapped bunny in her right wing. She opened the door, and was greeted by the sight of Pinkie Pie. The pink mare was bouncing on an oversized beach ball while playing an accordion to the tune of her 'Smile' song. "HI FLUTTERSHY!" "Hello Pinkie. Is this a party invitation?" "NOPE, I'M JUST SAYING HELLO! CAN I COME IN?" "Normally I would say yes-" "THANKS!" Pinkie just rushed in, beach ball and everything. "P-Pinkie no! It's nap time for my animals!" "WHAT WAS THAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY ACCORDION!" Both the instruments and her shouts woke up the sleeping creatures, and they ranged from a bear to several small rodents and birds. They ran around in a tizzy, knocking over furniture and scaring Angel in the process. He leaped out of the towel and landed on the floor, running up the stairs in panic. "A-Angel come back! You're still wet! You'll freeze!" Too late. He was off hiding somewhere. "Oh Pinkie..." Fluttershy tried but failed to keep the annoyed tone out of her voice, sighing while closing her turquoise orbs. "Pinkie Pie, I was about to say that I couldn't let you in right now and this is why." "SORRY FLUTTERSHY I GOT A BIT CARRIED AWAY! NO WORRIES, I'LL GO GET ANGEL BACK FOR YOU!" "Oh no that's quite alright-" Fluttershy was once again interrupted by Pinkie Pie, who zoomed up the stairs in search of the rabbit. "HEY ANGEL! THIS ISN'T HIDE N' SEEK! COME ON OUT!" Angel, meanwhile, was hiding underneath Fluttershy's bed while shivering. "ANGEL", said Pinkie as she pulled a carrot out of nowhere, "LOOK WHAT I GOT!" Seeing the vegetable immediately changed the ~~evil~~ cute rabbit's mind, who darted out, jumped up, and clamped their tiny mouth around the carrot and hanged there. "YAY! I WIN!" She took off running, poor Angel just managing to keep their jaw clamped down so they didn't fall. Pinkie Pie bounded towards Fluttershy, and dropped Angel onto her back after she came to a screeching halt. "THAT WAS FUN! WANNA GO AGAIN, ANGEL?!" Angel rapidly shook his head in protest and hid inside of Fluttershy's pink mane. "AW OKAY. I GOTTA GO ANYWAYS TO HI TO MY OTHER FRIENDS! BYE NOW!" And so she left, leaving the door wide open. The animals, still running around wildly, took this opportunity and ran out towards the town, and panic from both them everypony else imminent. "Oh Pinkie Pie... don't worry Angel, we'll fix this." She set out after the animals, begging to please stop and calm down. "Ugh, I don't see her anywhere", moaned Twilight as she continued her aerial search. Just when she was about to lose hope, she saw what appeared to be a bear causing an uproar near the marketplace. "What in the world?" She landed, and went to investigate. Several stalls were knocked over with their wares spilling out onto the grassy ground, and many salesponies were panicking. "It's a bear!" "Everypony run!" "It's gonna eat us all!" "Mr. Bear, please calm down... you're causing such a fuss..." Twilight recognized that last voice. Fluttershy was hovering a few feet away from the rampaging bear, doing her best to soothe the animal. "Fluttershy, what's going on?!" "Mr. Bear got woken up from his afternoon nap, so he's all scared, confused and grumpy... he won't listen to me." "Let me guess- Pinkie Pie did this?" "Yes, but I'm sure she didn't mean to... but she did help me catch Angel." "Do you know where she went?" "I don't think so..." "Figures. Now, about this bear..." A magical aura surrounded her horn, and she used a telekinesis spell to lift the animal and hold it in place. She wasn't used to lifting anything heavy, so sweat droplets appeared on her brow and her legs trembled a bit. The bear, confused, went still and looked around in a daze. "Okay Fluttershy. I got him still, so maybe he'll listen now." "Hello Mr. Bear. Please stop destroying Ponyville. You're just tired and need to go back to sleep, okay?" She petted the animal on the head lightly while giving a patient smile. The bear teared up and made a noise that was apparently an apology, and Fluttershy said she forgave him. Twilight put the bear down, and the bear made its way to back to the cottage to resume their nap. "Thank you Twilight, but I'm afraid there's more animals to go..." "Seriously? How many?" "Let's see... a couple deer, five squirrels, some birds, and a timberwolf." "A TIMBERWOLF?! ARE YOU NUTS?!" "Well he was injured and so tired-" "Oh nevermind... Okay, I'll help round them up so Ponyville doesn't get destroyed. I'll keep them in place while you do your... 'calm down' thingy. Alright?" "That sounds lovely." Several long, stressful hours passed. She and Fluttershy searched high and low for the animals, and the hardest part was catching them. They found the Timberwolf last, and, despite Fluttershy's protests, Twilight used her magic to put it back in the Everfree Forest. "Please tell me that's the last of them..." Twilight was tired beyond belief, her limbs aching. "Yes, I think so. Thank you so much. I couldn't have done it without you." Now that the animal issue had been dealt with, there came the matter of finding Pinkie Pie. Twilight was worried, because during all those hours she hadn't seen head nor tail of the pink pony, and that was scary. Who knew where she was or what she was up to by now. Eventually, she found a trail of confetti and party supplies, and it looked like it lead to Sweet Apple Acres. "Pinkie. It has to be." Twilight spread her tired, sore wings and sped down the trail, determined to catch Pinkie and put an end to all this terror. Author's Note And here we are, the end of the third chapter. Wow, if I keep going like this this'll be the longest MLP story I have on this site so far. I don't know when I'll finish chapter 4, so just hold your horses. (see what I did there?) I am open to ideas at this point, so if you have any suggestions I'll consider them by either adding them into the story or using them for inspiration if they're good. Bye everypony!
Too Much Of A Good ThingThe land of Equestria was bathed in light as Celestia raised the sun, its rays streaming through the window that looked into the window of Ponyville's famous party pony. Just as it did, their awful and noisy daily wake up call commenced. MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! "Ugh..." MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! "Five more minutes..." MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! "Shut up..." The annoying alarm clock continued its repetitive beeping, the pink mare groaning and covering their head with a pillow. "Stop it..." After a few more minutes of the blaring alarm clock, she finally sat right up and shoved it off of the nightstand in anger. It fell to the floor with a clunk, breaking in process. "Finally..."

"IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA! Um... did I miss something?" "You should go to back bed Pinkie", said Mrs. Cake as the food was finally finished. She made plates for herself, her husband and Pinkie Pie and brought them to the table. "B-but, who will help you run Sugarcube Corner?! Who'll go around town to hand out samples?!

TWILIGHT!" This continued for a few minutes, until one of the doors finally opened. Pinkie took a deep breath, ready to shout all sorts of things at her purple furred friend, but stopped short when she saw that Spike was the one who opened the door. "Hey Pinkie what-" "SPIKE!" "Uh yes?" "WHERE'S TWILIGHT! I REALLY, REALLY GOTTA TALK TO HER!" "She's right inside but-" "THANKS SPIKE YOU'RE THE BEST!" She ran right in, running over poor little Spike a steamroller. "Pinkie wait! You might not want to talk to her right now! Come back!" Too late. Pinkie was either too hyper or far away to listen (or both), and the thundering of her energetic hoofbeats seemed to shake the castle's huge hallways. "TWLIGHT!"

The Insanity Continues"There we go, Angel. Nice and clean." Fluttershy was bathing her pet bunny, who was putting up a nasty fight. "I know you don't like getting baths, but you were awfully filthy... please, just hold still..." She gently lifted the bunny out of the wooden washtub and wrapped him in a towel while receiving a glare from her beloved pet. There was a knock at the cottage's door, and she went to answer it while holding the towel-wrapped bunny in her right wing. She opened the door, and was greeted by the sight of Pinkie Pie. The pink mare was bouncing on an oversized beach ball while playing an accordion to the tune of her 'Smile' song. "HI FLUTTERSHY!" "Hello Pinkie. Is this a party invitation?" "NOPE, I'M JUST SAYING HELLO! CAN I COME IN?" "Normally I would say yes-" "THANKS!" Pinkie just rushed in, beach ball and everything. "P-Pinkie no! It's nap time for my animals!" "WHAT WAS THAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY ACCORDION!" Both the instruments and her shouts woke up the sleeping creatures, and they ranged from a bear to several small rodents and birds. They ran around in a tizzy, knocking over furniture and scaring Angel in the process. He leaped out of the towel and landed on the floor, running up the stairs in panic. "A-Angel come back! You're still wet! You'll freeze!" Too late. He was off hiding somewhere. "Oh Pinkie..." Fluttershy tried but failed to keep the annoyed tone out of her voice, sighing while closing her turquoise orbs. "Pinkie Pie, I was about to say that I couldn't let you in right now and this is why." "SORRY FLUTTERSHY I GOT A BIT CARRIED AWAY! NO WORRIES, I'LL GO GET ANGEL BACK FOR YOU!" "Oh no that's quite alright-" Fluttershy was once again interrupted by Pinkie Pie, who zoomed up the stairs in search of the rabbit. "HEY ANGEL! THIS ISN'T HIDE N' SEEK! COME ON OUT!" Angel, meanwhile, was hiding underneath Fluttershy's bed while shivering. "ANGEL", said Pinkie as she pulled a carrot out of nowhere, "LOOK WHAT I GOT!" Seeing the vegetable immediately changed the ~~evil~~ cute rabbit's mind, who darted out, jumped up, and clamped their tiny mouth around the carrot and hanged there. "YAY! I WIN!" She took off running, poor Angel just managing to keep their jaw clamped down so they didn't fall. Pinkie Pie bounded towards Fluttershy, and dropped Angel onto her back after she came to a screeching halt. "THAT WAS FUN! WANNA GO AGAIN, ANGEL?!" Angel rapidly shook his head in protest and hid inside of Fluttershy's pink mane. "AW OKAY. I GOTTA GO ANYWAYS TO HI TO MY OTHER FRIENDS! BYE NOW!" And so she left, leaving the door wide open. The animals, still running around wildly, took this opportunity and ran out towards the town, and panic from both them everypony else imminent. "Oh Pinkie Pie... don't worry Angel, we'll fix this." She set out after the animals, begging to please stop and calm down. "Ugh, I don't see her anywhere", moaned Twilight as she continued her aerial search. Just when she was about to lose hope, she saw what appeared to be a bear causing an uproar near the marketplace. "What in the world?" She landed, and went to investigate. Several stalls were knocked over with their wares spilling out onto the grassy ground, and many salesponies were panicking. "It's a bear!" "Everypony run!" "It's gonna eat us all!" "Mr. Bear, please calm down... you're causing such a fuss..." Twilight recognized that last voice. Fluttershy was hovering a few feet away from the rampaging bear, doing her best to soothe the animal. "Fluttershy, what's going on?!" "Mr. Bear got woken up from his afternoon nap, so he's all scared, confused and grumpy... he won't listen to me." "Let me guess- Pinkie Pie did this?" "Yes, but I'm sure she didn't mean to... but she did help me catch Angel." "Do you know where she went?" "I don't think so..." "Figures. Now, about this bear..." A magical aura surrounded her horn, and she used a telekinesis spell to lift the animal and hold it in place. She wasn't used to lifting anything heavy, so sweat droplets appeared on her brow and her legs trembled a bit. The bear, confused, went still and looked around in a daze. "Okay Fluttershy. I got him still, so maybe he'll listen now." "Hello Mr. Bear. Please stop destroying Ponyville. You're just tired and need to go back to sleep, okay?" She petted the animal on the head lightly while giving a patient smile. The bear teared up and made a noise that was apparently an apology, and Fluttershy said she forgave him. Twilight put the bear down, and the bear made its way to back to the cottage to resume their nap. "Thank you Twilight, but I'm afraid there's more animals to go..." "Seriously? How many?" "Let's see... a couple deer, five squirrels, some birds, and a timberwolf." "A TIMBERWOLF?! ARE YOU NUTS?!" "Well he was injured and so tired-" "Oh nevermind... Okay, I'll help round them up so Ponyville doesn't get destroyed. I'll keep them in place while you do your... 'calm down' thingy. Alright?" "That sounds lovely." Several long, stressful hours passed. She and Fluttershy searched high and low for the animals, and the hardest part was catching them. They found the Timberwolf last, and, despite Fluttershy's protests, Twilight used her magic to put it back in the Everfree Forest. "Please tell me that's the last of them..." Twilight was tired beyond belief, her limbs aching. "Yes, I think so. Thank you so much. I couldn't have done it without you." Now that the animal issue had been dealt with, there came the matter of finding Pinkie Pie. Twilight was worried, because during all those hours she hadn't seen head nor tail of the pink pony, and that was scary. Who knew where she was or what she was up to by now. Eventually, she found a trail of confetti and party supplies, and it looked like it lead to Sweet Apple Acres. "Pinkie. It has to be." Twilight spread her tired, sore wings and sped down the trail, determined to catch Pinkie and put an end to all this terror. Author's Note And here we are, the end of the third chapter. Wow, if I keep going like this this'll be the longest MLP story I have on this site so far. I don't know when I'll finish chapter 4, so just hold your horses. (see what I did there?) I am open to ideas at this point, so if you have any suggestions I'll consider them by either adding them into the story or using them for inspiration if they're good. Bye everypony!
