The Visit

  Fluttershy finally arrived at the hospital and flew into the room Pinkie was staying in. as soon as she opened the door she heard a fit of laughter coming from to two ponies inside. Fluttershy smiled at the fact that pinkie was laughing again. She hadn't laughed sense the Pinkamena thing.

"Oh Fluttershy! Sorry for leaving you there it's just I promised Pinkie I'd meet her today." Rainbow said when she noticed Fluttershy and had stopped laughing enough to talk.

"It's alright Rainbow..." Fluttershy said walking over to Pinkie, "How are you doing Pinkie?" The pink maned pegasus asked

"Oh I'm okie-dokie-lokie!!!!" The pink pony said as hyper as ever.

"When are they letting you out?"

"In a few weeks!!" Pinkie said with a big smile. The trio spent the next hour giggling until visiting hours were over. They said there good-byes and the couple flew off to Rainbows house. When they got there they watched movies until midnight then they went to sleep.

Fluttershy slowly woke up. She groggily woke up and got out of bed careful not to wake Dash and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Fluttershy made two daisy salads and just when she had finished pouring the milk Rainbow lazily flew down the stairs,

"Wow Shy you didn't have to make such a big deal for breakfast, I usably just have creal..." She said as she sat down and started eating the food as if she hadn't eaten in a week.

"Oh it's no problem Dash, I just thought you'd want to be full of energy when we go see Pinkie."

"Mmmfph mfpppp mmmmmmpphh?" Rainbow said, she then finished the bite of salad in her mouth and said,

"Really were seeing Pinkie?" Fluttershy giggled, nodded her head and wiped some lettuce off Rainbows face.

"I thought sense seeing Pinkie was so important to you we could both go see her. She could really use the company anyway." Fluttershy said as she was finishing her salad. She then got up and started to wash the dishes as Rainbow brushed her mane and when Fluttershy was done with the dishes she brushed her mane too, then they went out the door to go to the hospital. When they arrived at Pinkies room they saw that she was still asleep. They sat down in some chairs near the wall and started talking after awhile they heard giggling and looked over to see Pinkie trying to burst out laughing about the funny face she was making. Fluttershy and Rainbow however didn't try to hold it back and were instantly in a laughing fit. Once they could talk again they turned to Pinkie who was now silent.

"Pinkie is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked.

"Huh?! Oh...yea yea I'm fine!" Pinkie said blushing and smiling at her two friends.

"Well you look kinda out of it." Rainbow said.

"Oh I'm just kinda sleepy that's all." She said quickly. Rainbow and Fluttershy exchanged looks before letting it go and they sat down and talked to Pinkie, every now and then Fluttershy would tickle Pinkie and by the time visiting hours were over Rainbow was in the middle of reading the latest Daring Doo to Pinkie and Fluttershy.

"Awww do you have to stop reading now?!?!" Pinkie asked as a doctor came in and started to lie her down.

"Yes Miss.Pie your injuries are still in bad condition and you need your rest." The doctor said as he shooed her friends out of the room and turned out the lights leaving Pinkie alone in the dark. Fluttershy and Rainbow went to Fluttershy's house instead of Rainbow's and agreed to visit Pinkie again tomorrow. Fluttershy Kissed Rainbow on the cheek and they fell asleep together on the couch.

Meanwhile Pinkie was hiding under her blanket in the hospital trying to fall asleep but finding that difficult sense it was so dark in her room. She could tell that it was going to be a long night.....

The Dark Part 2

Pinkie's eyes flew open and she sat up once she heard the voice. She gulped fearing that the voice belonged to reason she's scared of the dark. She knew that the voice was Pinkamena for it was her voice, only darker and more aggressive. Pinkie was just as scared as she was when the voice first appeared. She remembered how she couldn't sleep because of the images of Pinkamena and wondered if she caused her to return. She pushed the thought from her head and waited to see if the voice would speak again. After a while sense the voice didn't show again, she laid down and after an hour of squirming in her bed she finally fell asleep.

Later at around nine AM Fluttershy awoke with a start at the sound of Rainbow crashing into something downstairs. She raced down the stairs and saw Rainbow struggling to get her out of the table she crashed into.

"Rainbow? How did you get your head in my table?" Fluttershy said as she pulled the table of the rainbow maned pegasus.

"Oh you know.....just trying out some new tricks." Rainbow said with a blush as she shook her self off and started to try and fix the table.

"Oh well......you should really be more careful I don't want two friends in the hospital."

"Ohhhh so now I'm JUST a friend?" Rainbow said leaning in and giving Fluttershy a kiss,

"You know what I meant." Fluttershy said blushing as she started to make them another round of salads. After they finished they flew straight to the hospital but sense visiting hours weren't until eleven and it was only ten they took their time getting there Rainbow doing some tricks and Fluttershy every now and then would do a loop or two. When they finally got to the hospital as asked to see Pinkie the nurse at the counter, (Nurse Redheart) simply shooed them away. Knowing Redheart they figured that it means they could go see them. When they got to the door to Pinkies room two doctors came out and when they saw the two pegasus standing there they said at the same time,

"Pinkie is not allowed any visitors today!" They then shoved Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash out the doors of the hospital and slammed it shut.

"Well that was odd...." Fluttershy said walking over to a brown park bench. Rainbow joined her with an annoyed look and said,

"Not just odd. Rude! I've been visiting Pinkie everyday sense she was put in there why can't we see her now?" Rainbow was standing up now and was about to race in there and demand to see Pinkie when Fluttershy grabbed her calmed her down. After awhile Fluttershy convinced Rainbow to go with her to help Applejack.

Huh.....w-where am I? What happened....Why can't I move?................AH! Pinkie jumped back as a mirror suddenly appeared. She stared at it for a moment before releasing that it wasn't a mirror she was staring at Pinkamena.

"Oh Pinkie Pinkie Pinkie......I hate you....your so peppy and always smiling! It makes me SICK! Pinkamena punched a wall that came out of nowhere. Pinkie looked around and saw that her in Pinkamena were now in a white tile room. The only other color in the room was a small pool of blood dripping from Pinkamena's now broken hoof. Pinkie tried to back but fell over a knocked over chair. Pinkamena leaned in over Pinkie glaring through Pinkie as if she wasn't there.

"Let me tell you something freak! You might think that I'm just some nightscare that you make go away but I'm not....in case you haven't guessed...........I'm you.

"N-No...that can't be your night me your a dream. A really bad one." Pinkie said trying to shove Pinkamena off of her. She finally managed to throw the psycho off her and stand up.

You've known it all your life.....this "Pinkie" is all an act and you know it....I'm you....the *real** you....* Pinkamena said grinning at Pinkie devilishly. Pinkie thought hard about her life...how she always tried to make ponies smile even if she wasn't having fun. Nonstop parties, always making friends the crazy silly pony she became.....wasn't her. She knew that her whole life she had been fighting Pinkamena for control over their body...she loved parties but not Pinkamenas parties. She didn't want to hurt anypony. As she was taking this all in Pinkamena saw her chance and a knife vaporized in her hoof. She sliced Pinkie throat open and watched the life drain from her. Pinkamena smiled and walked away. Pinkamena was finally in control.

Awake

Pinkamena awoke in a start gasping for air. The whole time her and Pinkie where talking their body had slipped into a coma.

"Oh thank god you're ok!" She heard Rainbow say. Her vision slowly cleared enough for her to see the pegasus standing near her bed with such a look of worry. Not wanting to blow her cover she smiled and said,

"I'm sorry for worrying you Dash.." She said trying not to gag or roll her eyes.

"It's ok it's not your fault...."

"Rainbow...what time is it?"

"Midnight why?"

"How did you get in here if it's not visiting hours?"

"Oh well...when I found oh you were in a coma and kinda broke in and they couldn't get me to leave so they let me stay." Rainbow explained blushing. Pinkamena stared at the wall for what felt like forever. The room got so quiet that you could hear the clock ticking.

"So are you feeling ok?" Rainbow asked.

"Ya......" Pinkamena said staring at the ground with a blank stare. By now she could see clearly but for whatever reason she didn't want to see the pegasus. Rainbow slowly waked over to the side of the bed,

"You know they won't let you leave for at least another month or two.." She said sounding as disappointed as Pinkamena.

"I....know."

"I'm sorry Pinkie.....I'll visit you every day..." Rainbow said trying to confort her friend who hasn't even looked up sense she woke up. Rainbow gave her a boque of pink flowers and flew out the door. Pinkamena sighed with relief as she laid back and stared into space.

Finally! I thought she'd never leave......I miss being able to control everything we do.....oh right......it's not we anymore. Oh well more fun for me.

Pinkamena sat up as a doctor comes in to make sure she's doing well. She shines a light in Pinkamena's eye, asks her some questions and gives her a check up. When the doctor determines that Pinkamena is fine and most likely won't have another coma. She gives her a late night snack, some crackers and water. Once she leaves Pinkamena finishes her snack and picked up the book that Rainbow left for her and read it sense she had nothing better to do. She was finally awake and free to do what ever she wanted.

The Fight Part 1

Rainbow flew into Fluttershy's window silently trying to make sure she didn't wake her up. As soon as she landed on the floor the light turned on and she saw Fluttershy standing there with a face full of confusion and anger.

"Where have you been?!" She asked flying over to Rainbow and  sitting down. Rainbow blushed and said,

"With Pinkie...."

"It's not even visiting hours how did you get in?" Fluttershy said as if she was trying to pry the answers from Rainbow.

"I...kinda forced my way in once we fond out..." Rainbow said looking up at fluttershy.

"Rainbow I was worried too but you can't do that!"

"Why do you care!?" Rainbow said flying up in the air.

"I care because you're spending to much time with Pinkie."

"Well it's my fault she's in there!" Rainbow practilicly yelled.

"How?!" Fluttershy was also almost yelling.

"If I had just stayed and listened when she told us about the dream this wouldn't have happened! She wouldn't have gone into a coma!" Rainbow said getting angry.

"Well to me it just sounds like you like Pinkie more than me..."

"Well...........right now I DO!!!" Rainbow flew out the window leaving Flutershy standing there with a hurt look on her face. After a few minuets what Rainbow said finally sunk in and she fell to the ground crying.

The Fight Part 2

The Fight Part 2

Fluttershy was sobbing into her pillow after her fight with Rainbow Dash. She felt so alone now and like the slightest breeze could knock her down. She started to get up when Angel hopped up onto her lap and handed her a tissue box. Fluttershy sniffed and took one. She wiped her eyes and plopped back down on her bed. She thought of ways she could try to get Rainbow back, but every option sounded to demanding to her. Finally after an hour of thinking she finally gave up, curled into a ball and fell asleep.

Meanwhile Rainbow was pacing back and fourth in front of her bed brainstorming, she regretted every word she said to Fluttershy. She was trying to think of a way to make it up to Fluttershy, and still visit Pinkie without Fluttershy getting jealous. She considered every option and crossed them all off.

"Ugh." She said falling down on her bed, "I'll never think of anything...." She turned onto her side and stared at the sun which was starting to rise and sighed. After what felt like forever she decided to take a nap and hope she got an idea when she woke up, so she got comfortable a closed her eyes for a nice peaceful sleep.

Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes and saw Pinkie standing there looking madder then ever,

"Pinkie? What are you doing here you need to be in the hospital!" Dash said sitting up. Pinkie said nothing but raised the knife she was holding and lunged at her friend.

Rainbow sat up screaming. She felt her face,chest and stomach.

"Oh.....it was just a dream...." Rainbow got up and saw that it was noon and that she had slept way more than she planned. Seeing as it was such a sunny day she didn't have any work to do she made herself a sandwich and continued thinking of ideas. As soon as she finished her sandwich it hit her,

"Of course!!!! I spend every friday with Pinkie and every other day with Flutters!!! It's perfect I don't know why I didn't think of this before...wait how am I gonna apologize to her........ Rainbow groaned and face planted the table.

I guess I could just go over and say "I'm sorry I said those things I didn't mean any of them I was just worried about Pinkie. Flutters please forgive me!" But that sounds to wimpy......any apology sounds to wimpy. I guess I'll just wing it. Rainbow Dash sighed and flew out the door and headed straight for Fluttershy's place.

Fluttershy yawned and sat up, she instantly felt sad about what Rainbow said to her but she forced her self not to cry. She went downstairs,made her breakfast and was just sitting down when their was a knock on the door. She looked through the peephole and saw Rainbow standing there, she held in a gasp and slowly opened the door.

"Hello.......Rainbow...." Rainbow walked in and sat on the couch, she noticed the salad on the table and said,

"Oh I'm sorry were you eating?"

"Oh it's ok...." Fluttershy sat down next to Rainbow and looked at the floor trying to hide her face, which was bright red.

"Fluttershy......I just wanted to say......I'm sorry for...what I said......" Rainbow looked at Fluttershy who was also now looking, and before she could say anything Fluttershy was squeezing Rainbow in the biggest hug ever. Rainbow smiled and hugged her back than heard Fluttershy say,

"Let's never fight again."

"It's a deal."

The Release

  A month passed and Pinkie was released from the hospital, Fluttershy agreed to have Pinkie stay at her house and Rainbow would help too. Pinkamena was sitting in a wagon which was being pulled by Fluttershy. Fluttershy was talking about how much fun they were going to have and she was trying not bash her head in.  Pinkamena started to shift onto her side but winced and gave up. her only injury besides some bruises was her leg. It wasn't broken anymore thanks to some magic spells of Twilights, but it still hurt like hell. She silently sighed in relief when they finally arrived at Fluttershy's cottage.

"Oh Pinkie what do you want to do first? we could do each other's hair. I'm sure you'd like that I mean the hospital washed your mane so much it never puffed back up."

"Oh ya that would be nice I miss my puffy hair but.....I'm to tired right now I'm sorry can I go to bed?"

"Oh sure first thing in the morning well do your hair!!!" Fluttershy took her upstairs and set her in the bed. She got comfortable and went to sleep. Fluttershy smiled than went downstairs. Pinkamena sat up the second Fluttershy left, she sighed and started planning how she would this with her leg hurting so much. She decided to just ignore the pain for now and slowly snuck downstairs.

  At around noon Rainbow flew into Fluttershy's house and was about to call out when she saw Fluttershy laying unconcuis  on the ground. She flew over and saw some blood coming out the back of her head. Before she could do anything something hit her in the back of the head and the last thing she saw before blacking out was a frying pan falling to the floor.

"Nighty-Night Dashie"

Thank you all for reading this! In my next story expect longer chapters! Pinkamena! Lots and lots of chaos!!!!! The story is coming soon!!!

The Picnic

  Rainbow was tapping her hoof impatiently waiting for Fluttershy to come. They had planned a picnic for the two of them and she was running late. Finally she saw Fluttershy coming with a huge basket full of food,

"There you are I've been waiting forever." She said as Fluttershy put the basket down on the blanket (the only thing Dash had to bring) "I'm sorry Rainbow this basket was really heavy." She said as she started to pull out some of the food.

"Wow do we need this much food?" Rainbow asked as she looked at the basket stuffed full with food.

"Oh I hope you don't mind but I asked if some if my friends could join us." She said blushing.

"Uhhh critter friends or pony friends?" She asked eyeing the food, "Critter." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash smiled and sat down pulling out some food just for it to be snatched by Angel and his friends as they pigged out on the food.

"HEY!" Rainbow yelled when her food was taken, Fluttershy put a hoof on Rainbow and she sighed, sat back down and grabbed more food. They spent the next hour laughing and eating and at one point Angel and his friends left leaving Rainbow and Fluttershy all alone. The two giggled about some joke they over heard some other ponies in the park saying and laid on their back to stare at the clouds.

"That one looks like a bunny!" Said Fluttershy pointing at the whitest cloud Rainbow had ever seen. Rainbow looked at the sky trying to find a shape as well before giving up and sitting up. Fluttershy sat up as well,

"Is something wrong Rainbow?"

  "Ya I don't wanna stare at the clouds I wanna fly in the clouds."

  "Well go ahead." Rainbow looked at Fluttershy smiled then shot into the sky. She did loops and twirls and many other tricks for Fluttershy before landing gently next to her.

"That was great Rain-"

"I'm sorry Fluttershy I have to get to the hospital before visiting hours are over!" Rainbow then shot into the sky leaving Fluttershy standing there with a blank face. After a few minutes she cleaned up the picnic and quickly flew to the hospital after Rainbow

The Dark Part 1

While Fluttershy and Rainbow were sound asleep Pinkie was going on her fourth day of no sleep. She had been fine the first few days she was at the hospital but now she just couldn't get to sleep. Every time she's almost asleep Pinkamena comes into her mind and she's wide awake, the fact that it's pitch black in her room without lights isn't helping. She tried to get the doctors to leave her door open with the hallway light on or a lamp by her bed but they wouldn't for whatever reason. She laid there squirming as much as she could without hurting her leg. She finally gave up and just stared at the ceiling. After awhile her eyes started to tear up and before she knew it she was crying softly into her blanket.

Where did my life go so wrong?!?!!? What happened to me......I'm not Pinkie anymore.....

  She laid there crying for a few minutes before she took a deep breath,

Calm down Pinkie.......your life isn't over....your friends still visit you and when you're out of the hospital they'll help you however they can......well actually now that I think about it....only Rainbow and Fluttershy have visited me.......I-I'm sure there just really busy....right?

Pinkie sat up trying to remember if anypony other than Rainbow and Shy visited when she came to the conclusion that nopony came she cried into her pillow until she fell asleep and for the first time in four days she slept.....even if it was for only thirty minutes.

Well well well, what do we have here?
