Pinkie-Pool

The Pie Rock Farm, home to the stoic Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz.

Not the most cheerful place in Equestria.
(No duh.)

On this dull farm resides a young mare named Marble Pie, an introverted shy little pony who doesn't say much, unlike her bubbly sister Pinkie.

But she may not be the innocent, silent, timid earth pony that we all know and....I guess love? We barely know anything about this girl and she's somehow considered favorite pony...

Yeah. I don't get it either, folks.

But I digress.

One day, while harvesting ore and crystals from the dust damp caves underneath the farm, the silent mare stumbles across a mysterious glowing, blood red ruby in a hidden section of the cavern. Like anyone EVER, Marble's curiosity gets the better of her and she touches the mesmerizing mineral.

The crystal abruptly becomes one with her and the next day, she exhibits feats of strength, focus and speed. Of course, being a superpony origin story, this has to be kept a secret for....some reason.

Hey, why did she have to keep it a secret, Pinks?

"Limey doesn't take kindly to those stronger than her. Just keep going."

Soon, Marble got the inspiration to create a massive group of coincidently gifted superponies as the one and only 'Captain Marble'...

How creative.

"And that's how Equestria was made!"

All the Marble heroes are at Revenger's Tower, cheering after Kazaam gave the most 'engaging' backstory of their founder.

"Although, how'd you get ALL of that from just 'Mmm-hmms', Kazaam? That's my thing!"

What am I, chopped liver?!

"You learn a few things....once you get to know them." Kazaam states as he and Marble look away, blushing.

"I ship it!"
"Your kind needs to burn."

"Buuut now that THAT'S outta the way, OMC YOU STARTED A SUPERPONY FRANCHISE, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLY?!?!" Pinkie squeaks ecstatically.

Marble shrugs.

"She's....had some close calls in the past, keeping it a secret. Classic Hero 101, Section 5: Home Before Getting Caught. It was kind of a challenging phase for her." he says matter of factly.

"But hey, at least she got through her phase. How about your emo phase, Spider-Mare?" Pinkie chuckles.

Everyone bursts into hearty laughter except for the embarrassed webslinger.

"Ya had to bring that up." she says, face in hooves.

"But I have to ask, how do you get from Manehattan to the farm?"

"Ask her how Saddle Arabia was."

"H-How was-"

Suddenly, Marble zooms out of the building in a gray flash and back with a turban and other attire.

"She thought it was great. Quaint place, nice scenery." Kazaam states.

"Mm, I stand corrected."

Eventually, a few of the super's watches go off.

"Welp, about time I head out. Blue Head's at it again." Captain Equestria says.

"YEAH! BULK HAS FLOWERS- I mean, SMASHABLE STUFF....TO ATTEND TO!!!" he barks as he leaps out of the tower.

"WACOLTA FOREVER!!!" a light gray stallion yells crossing his hooves and jumping out the window.

"Whatever, Black Puma."

Soon, EVERY hero had some 'business' to attend to, coincidently.

"Eh, I have cooler duties to attend to." Spider-Mare says cockily.

"Like what, get rebooted three times?"

"N-No! I just-"

"Patty Packer! Nerd work!" a voice calls excitedly on Spider-Mare's watch.

"C-Coming, Ms. Star!" she says swinging away.

"Remember, don't dance in public again, Spidey!" Pinkie laughs.

Spidey webs her mouth shut as she leaves.

"Mmm, could use some food coloring." she muffles.

That just leaves Marble, Kazaam and the Z-Force.

"It's about time I take my leave. Nice to see you again, 'Captain'." Kazaam says flying out.

Marble bashfully hides her face under her mane with a smile.

"Eeeeee, somepony's got a coltfriend!" Pinkie playfully says.

Before I move on I'm going to add the 'Marble Translator'. Patent pending.

The shy pony brushes it off.
("Oh, stop it. Anyways, how are you?")

"I'm good. Throwing parties, kicking flanks. The usual."

Marble looks around Pinkie in confusion.
("Where are your friends?")

"They're right there. Pretty good team now that I'm a part of it."

Bronzus prepares to protest, only to be stopped by Bronzus.

Marble shakes her head slightly.
("No, I mean your friends from Ponyville.")

Pinkie's smile slowly sinks into a forlorn frown.

*gasp* "Is this...an emotional moment going on here?"

"I have no idea what's going on. Bronzus whispers.

"Let her have this one." Stronghold says.

"Oh. We haven't really...seen each other often." Pinkie says unenthusiastically.

"We've seen THEM, though."
"Aaand this just got creepy."

Her sister tilts her head.
("How come? You six were practically inseparable.")

"Long story short...

I'm-not-really-Pinkie-Pie-I'm-a-clone-the-real-Pinkie-created-me-and-dozens-of-other-Pinkies!" she blabbers in quick succession.

Pinkie takes a deep breath.

"And-even-though-we-were-having-the-best-fun-the-real-Pinkie-had-all-but-I-poofed-away-and-I-want-to-see-them-so-badly-but-they'll-poof-me-away-so-now-I-have-started-a-new-life-kicking-flank-but-I-already-told-you-that!" she finishes, falling on her face.

Marble stares wide-eyed.
(?????)

"Did any of you get that?"

"Not. A. Word." Rubble replies.

The founder of superponies walks up to her depressed party-planning clone sister, weird combination of words, and rubs her mane assuringly.
("It'll be fine. At least you have new friends that got your back.")

"You know what? You're right! I DO have a supportive team!"

"Well, THAT was a serious change in mood."
"Comedy. You saw the genre tag, right?"

A reinvigorated Pinkie wraps Marble and the three members in a tight hug.

"And friends!"

"W-We enjoy you as a member, Pinkie." Bronzus groans.

"You kinda do keep Reflecto in line." Rubble admits.

"You're a riot, Pinks." Stronghold says.

Marble taps her hoof softly.
("Clone or not, you're still my sister...now can you possibly, just maybe NOT suffocate us?")

"Whoopsies! Sorry."

Pinkie releases the group and hops in place.

Marble gives a small smile and waves before dashing off.
("It's great to have you as a part of Marble, big sister.")

"BYE SISTER!!!" Pinkie shrieks. "Let's go home team, that shwarma smell's getting to me."

"I'm glad I'M not the only one who thought that!" Rubble adds hoofbumping the mare.

"Reflecto, you coming?"

"Who's a good metal dragon? You are. You are!" he coos rubbing Dragonflap's belly. "You were great out there!

"HOGARTH, YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE GIANT LATER, LET'S GO!!!"

The not so attractive stallion stands at attention, embarrassed.

As the Z-Force go to leave the tower, something in Star's lab catches Pinkie's eye.

"Oooh, what's that?" she asks, pointing at a metal red suit in a display case.

"That's probably one of Star's prototype suits, appears to be made for Patty. Why?"

The cheeky 'hero' gives a devious grin on her face.

Moments later

"I'm telling you, the whole dance thing was all Denim's doing." Patty says defensively.

"Yeah, sure it was." Star chuckles.

The two trot into the lab when Pony Star spots the empty display case. There, a note is attached to the glass.

"I believe this is for you."

Star passes the note to Patty.

I promise not to throw it away more than twice in my franchise!
XOXO

~P

"PINKIEEEEE!!!"

The Mare with the Marshmallows swings through the busy streets of Manehattan in the iron mare suit.

"Did you guys hear something?" she asks.

"The sound of a quip war happening in the future."
"And we'll be ready for 'em!"

Pinkie and the team fly through the city towards the mansion for cherrychangas.

"Ugh, I don't know. I can't believe I'm saying this, but that shwarma scent made me lose my appetite."

Oh, well...for combat training?

"Do you KNOW how long it'll take to make more of those piñatas?" Rubble says.

Chillaxing?

"That'll work." Stronghold nods.

"Wait, one more thing..."

Pinkie pulls out her party cannon.

*POP*
*SQUEAK*

"CONFETTI!!! Ha! Can't finish a chapter without saying that word."
