Chrysalis; disguised as her alter ego Ver Quaero; was currently writting down a few notes as she continued to watch not just Twilight and friends, but also other ponies in ponyville. She was doing this to see if Amiticia's answer was the same as her husbands, an answer she seeks herself.

What do you see in all of them? Chrysalis thought to herself. It's only been a couple of days, but she's beginning to wonder when the answer will rear it's head to her.

"Hello!" A voice suddenly surprised her.

"GAH!" Chrysalis jumped. It was none other then Pinkie Pie who surprised her.

"Sorry for disturbing you. I'm just wondering what your doing." Pinkie Pie said.

"If it pleases you...I am mearly observing and gathering information." Chrysalis said.

"Well that doesn't sound very fun at all. I'm gonna have to fix that. Come on!" Pinkie Pie said before suddenly hauling the disguised Chrysalis off to who knows where.

Actually it was just Sugar Cube Corner; but the methods Pinkie Pie used to get there is something that would break your mind trying to understand just HOW she managed to get from point a to point b.

What...how does that even work?! Chrysalis thought to herself. This pony is crazy!

"Now, let's bake some cupcakes together." Pinkie Pie said.

"Uh...why?" Chrysalis asked. "I'm still relatively new here...why do you want to bake cupcakes with me?" She asked.

"Because it's fun." Pinkie Pie said. There was no arguing with this one, Chryaslis figured.

While the pair had followed the recipe exactly, the muffins didn't come out quite right.

"I...don't understand. We did everything just right. What went wrong?" Chryaslis asked.

"So what if they don't look right?" Pinkie Pie said before eating one. “The Important thing is we made them together. Go ahead, try one." She added. Chryaslis did so and while they didn't taste any different then normal muffins...something about eating them with Pinkie Pie felt different.

"Huh...I've ate muffins that were delivered to me, but for some reason, eating these feels different." Chryaslis said.

"That's because we made them together silly. I highly doubt you'll find that answer your looking for if you just observe everyone, Chryssi~" Pinkie Pie said.

"Wh-what did you just call me?" Chryaslis asked with a panic.

"Silly, I knew from the moment I saw you you were really Chryaslis in a disguise, but I decided to take a page out of Fluttershy's book and give you the benifit of the doubt. Don't worry though, my lips are sealed~" Pinkie Pie said.

"How...how did you even know it was me just by looking at me?" Chryaslis said.

"Sorry, that's a secret Chryssi." Pinkie Pie said. "If you ask anyone, they'll tell you not to question it or you'll get a headache. Something Twilight gave herself once trying to figure me out~" She explained. Chryaslis just stood there, shocked.

"So...so long as you keeping secrets...can you keep what it is I'm after a secret too?" Chrysalis asked.

"Your hoping to find the reason your husband sacrificed his life to save ponies, right?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"H-how did you know that?" Chrysalis asked.

"Just a hunch~" Pinkie Pie said.

"I...don't even..." Chrysalis said but shook her head. "Regardless, you won't tell anyone until I've found the answer, will you?" Chrysalis asked.

"Nope! That would make it so you would never find the answer. I would tell you what I think it is, but then that'd be cheating. But don't worry, good old Pinkie Pie has pointed you in the right direction. Try spending time with people in town, you'll be surprised at what you can learn in regards to that." Pinkie Pie said.

"I'll keep that in mind...uh...crap I forgot your name." Chryasalis admitted.

"It's Pinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie said.

"R-right..." Chrysalis said.

Chrysalis said her good byes to Pinkie Pie and then headed off to go find someone to hang out with. Something Pinkie Pie had said stuck with her just then: She won't find the answer just by observing these Ponies. She should've realized that from the start. Now Chryaslis has a deeper appreciation for Pinkie Pie; even if she still doesn't understand how in the world the pink one figured her out so quickly.

Perhaps what she said is true: It's probably not best to question anything she does.

Author's Note

A lot of this season's episodes are going to be focused on Chrysalis and the main 6. And to start things off, we have good old Pinkie Pie. I think the way I wrote this chapter really did her justice. Oh, and for context, a lot of these chapters are either going to be inbetween actual episodes, dealing with the aftermath of certain events, or just all around slice of life in the background of some episodes.
