Who is Pinkie Pie, really?

Pinkie Pie. When you hear that name, you know who I mean. She's been known to do some strange things from time to time. Pulling things out of her hair, predicting certain events, and stretching her body out like chewing gum on multiple occasions. But the power she is most known for is her ability to break the fourth wall. But...where exactly did all of this come from?

Re-write of Parallel, with a less dark spin on it. This one utilizes one of my reader's suggestions. I've been looking for ways to re-write this because I believed the original too dark for the series.

Title inspired by the series Chaos;Child

Chaos;Pink

A cheerful pink pony could be seen bouncing along the pathway that split her new home of Ponyville in two. It had been quite a while since she'd gone and left her old life behind to focus on bringing smiles to the faces of everypony she came across.

She now had five great friends, worked at a sweets shop, and had been named the Element of laughter, a title she took pride in as it meant that not only was she apart of a team that protected Equestria from any and all harm it came across, but she was also on that team, with all of her friends, and there was nothing better than saving the world with your best friends.

Well, that and spreading good cheer all throughout the nation. That was her goal, that was her privilege, that was...

Her life's mission.

"Hiya! My name's Pinkie Pie! I'm everyone's friendly neighborhood party pony!"

"I'm also a baker, an element of harmony, and really good at hugging. Ahahaha!"

"I'm also a great friend. Just ask Twilight, and all the others. They'll be sure to tell you all about it. I'm always there to cheer them up, put a pep in their step, and turn their frowns upside down! It's what I do, after all!"

"Too bad they don't know what else I do. It'd be awesome if they did. But I can't tell them. Not now, not ever."

"You see, I'm not normal. Yes, I know, i'm already not what one would consider normal. But that's not what I mean."

"Sit down, and listen closely, because this is gonna be one crazy story."

"The things I do...don't come from just simple random occurrences or coincidences. They aren't things that come without an explanation, like I once made poor Twilight believe when we outran that hydra."

"The poor mare still can't get over it, even if she does believe in it now. I really wish I could tell her, but my father wouldn't let me."

"Who is my father, you ask?"

"Simple. It's Discord."

"Believe it or not, that in itself is enough of an explanation. If I were to tell them at least that much, none of my friends would bat an eye at any of the things I do anymore. But dad said that it was top secret, and that I needed to remain in disguise at all times. It made me sad, but it was necessary."

"Discord is the God of chaos, and he oversees all forms of disaster, whether they be natural, or supernatural."

"But he cannot watch over us at all times, and so he sent me, his daughter, to provide enough strangeness to keep the world in balance in his absence. I cannot cause disasters, but I can do just enough to reset the scales of our world and keep one side from over taking the other."

"Occasionally, father has to step in and set the record straight, causing disasters for both professional, and personal reasons (those mostly being done to satisfy his wife, Fluttershy.)"

"I continue to call him father, but Discord is not my parent. He is my creator. I am a portion of Discord's original body before he shape-shifted himself to look the way he does. He was actually a pony before then."

"He created me, then changed my appearance and gender to that of a mare to keep other ponies from seeing the resemblance."

"I possess his powers, his love of chaos, and his strange way of thinking, albeit to a lesser extent than the stallion himself."

"What about my power to break the fourth wall? Going to another dimension is child's play when you're a copy of one of the most powerful beings in all of Equestrian history."

"I take pride in being related to him, as he and Fluttershy were some of the first gods to be made by Faust during her active period."

"He may be my creator, but I have grown to like this body quite a bit. The only thing I have left that resembles him in any way is my personality. I am a rather...rambunctious mare after all. I love sweets, can't live without my friends, and I possess an unnatural obsession with cupcakes that can't possibly belong to anyone but me."

"Well, except for maybe Cheese Sandwich, but he left town before we could actually properly sit down to get to know each other, so I wouldn't know."

"Speaking of cheese sandwich. We're pen pals now. I keep in touch with him, and he keeps in touch with me. We're thinking of hosting Twilight's birthday together. I already know i's gonna be super-duper fun-erific!"

"Sorry, kinda got side tracked there. Hehe."

"Anyway, my job is a rather important one, so I try my best to cause as much mayhem as I can without causing too much damage to the world."

"A prime example of this would be when I used the mirror pool to make copies of myself, which my friends and I then had to return to the place from whence they came, or when I aided my friends in getting revenge on Rainbow for pulling that rainbow mouth prank. That was so much fun! Plus I got to eat a bunch of cookies for free! Score!"

"I will admit to realizing that I sometimes make my friends rather...uncomfortable around me. Particularly Rainbow Dash, who literally took to the skies just to get away from me the moment I tried to become friends with her. Or Twilight, who rejected my party for her, to focus on Nightmare Moon's return. Even the time when I pretended to go crazy because my friends wouldn't tell me their secret plans for me. I was actually a little angry then. Luckily it turned out to only be a surprise party for me. These were also small forms of chaos."

"They were all for a purpose, however. And it is a purpose I wish I didn't have to hide from those I love."
