Season 1: Episode 8 - Pink Randomness

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"Hey look everyone, it's an episode concerning me, Pinkie Pie. Better sit down for some of my wacky randomness. I got that right, didn't I?" Pinkie Pie asked someone offscreen after tearing through the pages of the story.

Yes Pinkie. You did.

"Ookie Dookie Lookie." Pinkie Pie said before going back into the pages of the story.


Sunset Shimmer was enjoying a nice day outside in Ponyville when suddenly a flower pot hit her on the head from above.

"Ow..." Sunset said and then looked up.

"Sorry Sunset." Lyra said. "I was cleaning my windowsill when I accidently knocked a flower pot off of it." She added.

"Kind of not a good idea to put flower pots up there, huh?" Sunset asked.

"Now that you mention it...WHAT WAS I THINKING?!" Lyra said and started putting her flower pots into her house. Sunset just shook her head.

"How you are holding up here anyways in Ponyville?" Sunset asked.

"Doing okay. I really want to hang out with Bon Bon later today so I'll go see if she'll be available in a bit." Lyra said.

"Yeah you do that." Sunset said, smiling. Suddenly she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. Wait...was that Celestia that just took a letter from Spike personally and then flew back to canterlot?! "What the heck was that about?" Sunset asked. She then noticed not just Pinkie Pie but also Twilight. And both were wearing Umbrella hats. "Okay...I know you can be random Pinkie Pie but...this? What ever happened to cause this?" Sunset asked.

"Well a few days ago Twilight was studying my Pinkie Sense as you know, so she tried to figure it out, and eventually just decided to roll with it." Pinkie Pie said.

"Yeah...let's go with that and say nothing of the many, many injuries I substained during that time." Twilight said.

"Was wondering why you kept coming back with more and more injuries." Sunset said. "Still, I'm surprised your just going along with this now." She added.

"What else can I do? And don't even try to start." Twilight argued. Suddenly Pinkie's tail started twitching.

"My tail is twitching, my tail is twitching!" Pinkie said.

"...What?" Sunset asked. Suddenly another Flower Pot hit her on the head. "Ow..." Sunset said.

"Whoops! My bad again." Lyra said. She was still getting her flower pots back indoors.

"Might want to start wearing one of these." Twilight said, pointing to her umbrella hat.

"...Seriously? I'm going to need a run down of why your suddenly so on board with this." Sunset asked.


Several Hours later...


"...What?" Was all Sunset could say after the full explanation. "And now your just going to drop it all together?" Sunset asked.

"It's either that or I'll just keep driving myself crazy. And I'd rather not do that anymore." Twilight said. "Had enough of it as it is." She added. Sunset felt her eye beginning to twitch but shook it off.

"Guess your getting more mature with each friendship lesson that you learn." Sunset said.

"My ears are flopping, my ears are flopping!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Twilight quickly was looking around but didn't catch it in time for Sunset to suddenly get covered in mud.

"...Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew EW!" Sunset said, trying to shake off all the mud.

"I'll start a bath for you..." Pinkie Pie said.


Sunset was drying herself off after having taking a bath made by Pinkie Pie.

"Welcome to what I went through, Sunset." Twilight said. "And before you even try to argue with Pinkie Pie, I'm just going to stop you right there and tell you to not even bother. Trust me on this one. You'll save yourself from going through what I did. Kind of had to learnt the hard way to just take what Pinkie Pie is doing at face value." She added.

"Says the one who always tries to find science behind everything." Sunset argued. "I'm not the sort of person who needs to find meaning behind every single little thing. That's more your thing and not mine." She added.

"While that may be true Sunset, this one was one where it's better that I shouldn't have tried in the first place." Twilight said. "Though it was something I did need to learn, even if it was the hard way." She added with a smirk.

"You two bounce off each other quite a bit. It's neato." Pinkie Pie said. "But if you were to ask anyone in Ponyville about my Pinkie Sense, they would all tell you the same thing Twilight had to learn: That it's better not to even try to understand my Pinkie Sense. Heck, even I don't know why I have it." She explained.

"And you never even wanted to find out?" Sunset asked.

"Nopey doodle scoodle~" Pinkie Pie said.

"That's new..." Sunset mumbled. "Well even if you don't want to find out, I think I should at least try to myself." Sunset said.

"...Your going to regret that later." Twilight admitted.


Throughout the next couple of days, Sunset ended up going through some of the same motions as Twilight did and even got injured quite a few times with Twilight telling Sunset several times to just let it go.

Which after an incident where a rainbow just graced the skies, Sunset decided to just hang her head in defeat. There's no reasonable source that Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense could from.


Dear Princess Celestia,

As Twilight no doubt has probably written to you, there are just some things about your friends that you have to take at face value.

And while our friend Pinkie Pie has one of the weirdest quirks I think I've ever seen a pony have, sometimes it's best not to even bother with where those quirks may come from. After all, each person's quirks is a part of who they are as a pony and that just makes each of us special.

As such, something I know I learned about friendship, is that sometimes you have to accept those quirks as part of your friends, and try not to question where they come from.

From your first student, Sunset Shimmer.


MEANWHILE...

Far away, in a mysterious land, a single unicorn mare was reading several books.

"Just need a bit more magical knowledge, and then, I can finally create a Cutie Markless Equestria!" The Unicorn Mare said. "Cutie Marks will no longer be a thing, and I'll finally be able to be together with Sunburst once more!" She added.


Author's Note

Wait what's this? Who is this mysterious Unicorn Mare? And more importantly, who is this "Sunburst" She speaks of? More mysteries plague this story by the moment...
