ch 1. unexplained boxes and surprises
"With Celestias permission I hope to allow you to keep our photos , our memories, with you so that you will never forget. again i love you and thank you........you little daughter always, your little Dashie forever, Rainbow Dash." the voice on my computer said as I sat back tears in my eyes as I finished watching My Little Dashie for the latest time.I forgot how many times ive seen it but it had become my favorite piece of fan made work in the MLP community.Sometimes i have envisioned myself having the same story play out with different ponies .....Rarity....Applejack.....Twilight.....even Derpy hooves whom was one of my favorites but there was one pony whom I wished that would happen with more than anypony.
Pinkie Pie
She wasn't simply just a silly party pony in my eyes, she was more of the physical representation of my own personal crazy life.not that my life was filled with changeling attacks, chocolate rain, and the occasional animation glitch. but more in the sense that it seemed like the most insane things popped up at the most inopportune time like my computer forcibly updating itself 5 minutes before i needed to leave for work, randomly smashed out car window once i got out of work one evening with no possible good explanation......and the time i got stuck on the roller coaster when the brakes somehow stopped working and i was forced to ride without rest for 5 hours......but she wasn't just that either.
She was also the cure for my bad days when life got me down and left me feeling grey like a wad of old bubblegum stuck under a seat. Her antics on screen made me laugh just enough to gain back a semblance of a smile and for that i was truly grateful to a cartoon pony........huh never thought i would have ever used that sentence in my life.
I was shaken from my thoughts of why I liked pinkie pie so much when i heard the sound of rumbling from my stomach.....which made sense considering i had just got off work and had yet to make my dinner .I rose from my chair -
And promptly tripped over a rectangular object smashing into the floor like a brick.
I groaned and gently cursed myself for not cleaning like I most likely should have been doing for the last few months instead of playing my new game console I had gotten on sale.From my position on the floor I glanced at what I had failed to step around.
And what it was severely concerned me.
In the middle of my room sat a large pink gift box , a giant green bow wrapped tightly around it .I know i was ususally finding things I had forgotten about but I know for a fact i've never owned a pink gift box ,let alone one wrapped in a green bow. My curiosity got the better of me and I wondered if one of my friends had snuck in using my spare key to leave me a early birthday gift of some kind......though that would be odd since my birthday was months off and usually my friends never do more than a simple happy birthday text or a fist bump when they see me .I could no longer contain my curiosity and undid the ribbon sliding the lid off to find......
nothing. a completely empty gift box. someone had gone to the trouble of preparing a expertly wrapped gift box....and neglected to put anything in it ......wonderful. i sighed and was about to put the lid down when i realized the lid was much heavier than it should have been.Slowly I turned it over and a flash of pink smashed against my face.
"AH! What the -"I cried out falling to the couch which thankfully broke my fall and not the coffee table which would have been far less pleasant. But I was more focused on the pink blur which was laughing now and rolling around on my chest in hysterics.My eyes widened now recognizing the pink menace who had tackled me and scared me so bad that I might have some pause before opening boxes for a while now.
It was pinkie pie
not just ANY pinkie pie but a filly pinkie pie. she looked just like how she was in the cutie mark chronicles ........same age as well i would guess as well.
My mind was reeling. I was basically living one of the most beloved fan animations of the community but with Pinkie Pie......I would have said I was dreaming but the pounding in my chest said otherwise. This was real.
"OMIGOD YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE! IT WAS ALL LIKE "WAAHAH " AND "GAHHHH" HAHAHAHAHA"Pinkie cried out still laughing hard enough to be heard possibly by anyone walking by outside close enough but hopefully not enough by the neighbors.Then finally Pinkie noticed I was simply staring at her with a dumbfounded look on my face at the filly in front of me."Hey I didn't scare ya that bad now did i?"She said her eyes having just the slightest hint of uncertainty in them.
I finally snapped out of my trance and gave a reassuring smile to her not wanting to upset my unexpected guest."N-No but you did get me good, really wasn't expecting you of all ponies to be here...or well anypony honestly.." I admitted with a nervous grin."So........pinkie why exactly did you want to prank me like that.......and how exactly did you get here?" I said not wanting to sound ungrateful for her arrival but I really didn't want to upset a certain sun or moon goddess or even worse five ponies who might object to their friend arriving on earth in this state.
Pinkie cocked her head to one side and simply grinned from ear to ear."Nope , not a clue!None whatsoever!" She proclaimed in her usual cheery tone."So where am I exactly cause you don't exactly look like anypony that im used to.
Classic pinkie pie. Always so upbeat and positive even when things are uncertain.
"Well......you don't exactly look like the people im used to either .........ohhhhh boy this is gonna be a long explanation."I said plopping back a bit and covering my face with my hands.I felt pinkie sit by my head and look down at my face.
"I know what you need to help you relax........A PARTY!" Pinkie proclaimed and dashed around my small house grabbing what she needed.
Well ......I do suppose the explanation can wait until afterwards i mean really......
Who can say no to a party from pinkie pie?

Heh finally wrote this . Been rewatching My Little Dashie alot lately and this idea kept rattling around in my skull so I decided to make it and post it here for you all to hopefully enjoy.I might also do another alternate version where its not pinkie but someone else(secret for now ^^) but first im gonna focus on this one and try to finish this one before i start another one .
Ch 2 Revels end and Revelations(plus some popcorn)
After several hours of partying with equestrias number one party pony I realized one of two things.
First was that this little filly had twenty times the energy of me and was able to party much harder & longer than I was able to.
Secondly........I should have said no to the eighth cupcake i was offered.
"Hey whats up? The party is just getting started........you aren't tired already are you?"Pinkie said sitting amid several tons worth of confetti and baking supplies which littered the floor a slightly disappointed look appearing on her face."I had alot more planned and we haven't even gotten to bobbing for apples yet...."
I hated disappointing her ......but at this rate im not sure I could even fake being able to continue I was so tired. "I'm really sorry Pinkie pie........not so used to partying thats all, i'll get better with time ....promise."I said reaching over and ruffling her mane a bit.
"Cross your heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in your eye?"She questioned holding a hoof out to me.
Heh.........really hard to say to that face.........
So I didn't
"Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in EACH eye."I said raising the stakes of the promise as I bumped my fist against her hoof gently.
Pinkie gasped and a huge smile overtook her face in her typical fashion."OMIGOD YOU ARE SERIOUS!" She exclaimed before jumping on me giving me a big hug. I held her against my chest gently and just relaxed."I promise to throw even bigger and better parties for you promise.......so um how many parties have you been to I mean humans do party right?"
"Heh we do, alot of times its for a purely made up reason just so we have an excuse."I said with a chuckle thinking about the party my buddy held for some series he liked getting renewed for its fifth season......and how he had forgotten to invite me to it.A small frown crossed my lips for a moment and I knew she saw it so I had to come clean about the exact number."As for the number of parties ive been to.......this was probably the first one outside of family members throwing a birthday party for me. "I admitted with a slight sigh.No one had really ever thought to invite me to things until after the fact or if they had they always assumed i wouldn't enjoy being there as i was mainly an introvert.
Pinkie's eyes bugged out and her mouth hang open in a gasp ."WAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! THIS WAS YOUR FIRST PARTY EVER!!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!" Her outburst caused a bunch of birds to vacate their home which they had built on top of my house as well as several neighbors to look up from what they were doing only to wonder where the noise had come from. "How is that even possible!?!?!?!??!?"
"Well......I just never got invited to stuff and I was too nervous to ask to tag along.......also part of me wished that it was important enough for me to be there that they would ask for me to have been included."I said looking at her."But its okay , besides I got the best party pony ever to throw me even better ones than the ones I didn't go too.Isn't that right?"
She smiled a bit and I could tell it still bothered her but she stopped pushing it."Sooooooooo can I ask you something else? " She said resting her head against my hand sounding just a little concerned.
I raised an eyebrow but nodded."Sure , whats on your mind?" I stroked her head a bit part of me knowing what she was about to ask......
"How did you know who I was before I told you my name? I mean I am the most super duper awesome party pony out there but ......this isnt my world so how did you know my name?"Pinkie said looking up at me with her big eyes .
And there it was. The question I had been dreading since I first laid eyes on her. Just like in the animation Dash had come to know about her world from the tv .......but mine was worse. I was going to have to tell her she was just a cartoon character in my world......how would she take it?
Would she freak out and run off like Dashie did? And would I be able to find her if she did? Sure Dashie was fast but Pinkie seemed able to break the rules of physics.
Would she simply break down unable to comprehend it and lose her special brand of zest for life? Becoming depressed and inconsolable for the rest of her days......
I could easily lie.......tell her that news of her parties was the stuff of legends through the multiverse .....it would be so easy and would probably be believable.....
But I couldn't....
She deserved the truth.
She had brought me laughter on my sad lonely days, and when I needed a smile all I had to do was think of her infectious smile and one soon followed behind it.It wouldn't be okay doing that to someone......even if it meant showing them a horrible truth they might not be able to handle.
I cleared my throat and sat so I was able to see her better."Pinkie.......I have to tell you the truth........I knew your name because of this."
Reaching behind me I pulled out the first season box set of My Little Pony:Friendship Is Magic and sat it carefully in front of her."In this world you are-"I began.
"A cartoon character?"Pinkie finished looking intently at the cover art focusing on her own picture more than anypony else.Her face was in an expression of confusion mixed with curiosity."So ........is this why you were so surprised to see me?"
I managed a soft nod and couldn't look her in the eye. I had shattered her illusion of everything she was in a matter of seconds.And I had done this to a young filly no less! The stress made my stomach churn........either that or more likely all the treats I had greedily consumed earlier.
I was about to beg Pinkie Pie for forgiveness for not bracing her for the severity of my answer when i felt her push the case against my hand which was resting on my leg. I looked up to see her ......smiling?
"Can we watch it? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!I mean its so cool im in a show for little foals and fillies to enjoy I mean wow thats so cool!!!!!"She was talking a mile a minute and my brain had to struggle to decode everything she was saying.She wasn't upset with me for not showing her this when I first met her......She wasn't depressed......She was.......excited which might have been an understatement by the amount of times she was using the word wow .
I smiled as a huge wave of relief crashed over me and I popped open the case taking the first disc out gingerly."Heh sure thing. " I put it in and heard Pinkie Pie zip off and back by the time i had hit play.
"Gotta have snacks right?" She said somehow having acquired two huge bags of buttered popcorn now decked out in 3D glasses herself.
My stomach made a gurgling noise and I managed a weak smile."Errrr you can have mine , im not hungry at the moment." I said not being able to even look at food without feeling a bit sick.
"Ohhhhhh more for me ! " She snuggled close to my side and put a huge hoof full of popcorn in her mouth eagerly crunching it as the title sequence begin to play.
I smiled and relaxed for the moment letting my head sink into the couch cushion. Today I had made progress with her.
I had no idea what tomorrow was going to bring.
No idea what problems would crop up in the days to come.
But for the moment none of that mattered.
The only thing that mattered was the filly sitting next to me smiling and watching a show that she had come from somehow ending up in my world thru unknown means.And for the moment that she was happy.
And the calm that would hopefully last a while longer .
But for now.....It was time to binge a season of my favorite show with my favorite pony
