It was an average day in Ponyville (as average as Ponyville ever gets, anyway) and Pinkie Pie was pronking down the cobblestone road. Today was unlike the usual in that she was going to help Berry Punch out with her newest flavours, both alcoholic and not.
Getting to Berry's Brewery, she knocked on the door rhythmically.
"Coming! Just a sec!" she heard from inside. Shortly thereafter, the door was opened to reveal Berry Punch herself. Hereyes widened as she said, "Oh! Pinkie! C'mon in! Let's get started."
Hopping inside, Pinkie closed the door behind her with her tail.
In the cellar of the brewery, Pinkie grabbed a stein that was conveniently nearby with one hand.
Berry started at the first container, among many huge fermenting kegs that held about twenty gallons each. Celestia forbid that any of them, should break! "This here's strawberry flavoured."
Pinkie moved the stein under the spigot of the keg and filled the stein about a third of the way. Taking a gulp of the red fluid, sure enough, it tasted like strawberry, with some bubbles to it. Pinkie smacked her lips a few times. "Getting there. It isn't quite right yet, but it's getting close. I'd say... another week or so and it should be ready for serving."
Berry, having tasted a bit at the same time, agreed. "I thought so too. Ponies are definitely going to enjoy this flavour, though."
Moving on to the next keg, she said, "Alright. This one I call ABC merlot. It's apples, blueberries and currants.(1)"
Pinkie got a third of the stein filled. Berry said, "Careful; it'll seem to disappear right quick."
Taking a gulp, Pinkie felt like she was hit in the face with an explosion of flavour. "Yee-hee-owza!" she said, finishing off the drink. "This one's ready for sure! You've outdone yourself with this one, Berry." she added.
Moving on to the next one, Berry said, "This one's experimental. It was made with Spectrum berries. Take it slow; It'll knock ya flat if yer not careful."
Filling her stein about a third of the way, Pinkie took a careful sip. "Hmm. Not bad!" she said, as she started to finish it off. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she felt a explosion of sorts go off inside of her. She started to glow in various colours as her coat brightened by several shades.
At that moment she began to change within. She gained the power to bounce off of just about anything, various candy-based power, nearly boundless energy...
That day she became Annoying Mare! From then on, she would fight for truth, Justice and - because it's so darn fun!
In fact, several of the more intelligent/lesser known villains changed their names to try to hide from her.
The Not-So Mighty Minotaur
Stinkfoot
Dracola
The Locked-up-Ness Monster (recently escaped)
But worry not, folks. our heroine here is no fool. Boisterous and overbearing at times, sure, but stupid she is not. And whether they like it or not, there are a few villains who are going to get their dose of justice/annoyance. What'll happen next? Well, we'll just have to see, won't we?

Mission 1: The Not-so-Mighty Minotaur
*SHING!*
The minotaur's platinum axe shines as it cuts through a pillar like butter. "Stay still so I can smite you!" he shouts.
From the top of the area, none other than Annoying Mare falls, hitting the floor with a classic superhero landing pose, then shifting her balance of her right legs to her left and back. "Yeah. Like I'm doing THAT for long." she says, rolling her eyes. She then continues to bounce around the room, making it difficult for the minotaur to keep track of her, much less hit her.
"I've had about as much as I can stand of you!"
Annoying Mare looks at him sideways. "Nope. You're a quart low." she says, stopping only briefly. "You'll have to take a bit more." she adds.
"GAAAAH!" the minotaur exclaims, with another slash of his weapon.
"Over heeere~!" Annoying Mare sing-songs, waving at her adversary from the side of another pillar, which is soon chopped down as well.
"Oooh! So close!" she taunts. "At this rate it'll still take you another ten years to catch me!"
"Will! You! SHUT! UP!!" the minotaur shouts loud enough to shake the room.
"Sheesh! And Ponies say that i have self control problems." Annoying Mare says with a grimace before continuing her bouncing. Having thoroughly irritated her target, she says, "I think you've had your fill. It's time to end this."
Calling upon her candy-based powers, she ensnares the minotaur in candyfloss, immobilizing him before covering him in jennamite. Placing a symbol of a funny face on the rock itself, enchanting it to become a beacon of sorts. "The guard will be here shortly to put you back where you belong." she says with satisfaction, walking away. "Maybe you'll decide to clean up your act." with that pun, she stops briefly, looking around the wrecked room. "Clean up your act." she repeats to herself. She cackles before dashing off, leaving a tray of cupcakes in her wake.(1)
Having successfully annoyed and trapped her first target, Annoying Mare spins one hoof around clockwise and starts to bounce toward her next target.

Mission 2: Stinkfoot, part 1
Some time later, Annoying Mare finds herself by a village, She's just in time to see the people there being "taxed". a cart full of produce is carted toward a castle that one could easily see in the distance. She snarls at this display. "If there's one thing I can't STAND..." she begins, "It's exploitation of the prolae... parolu... peerole... the common folk.(1)"
Deciding that she should be a touch more subtle, she says, "That's all, folks!", returning to her default form, Pinkie Pie standing where Annoying Mare was seconds before. Walking over to a nearby farmer, she queries, "Say, what's going on? It looks like everypony has an invisible stormcloud over their heads."
"Name's Hayseed." the farmer says in greeting. "We've just been taxed by our "ruler". His appetite has us so far below the poverty line we'd be off the graph, were there one to be had. We're lucky to have grass to eat!"
Covering her mouth with one hoof in horror, she says, "Oh my! Somepony needs to do something about that jerk! I'm Pinkie Pie, by the way."
Hayseed nods in response. "If you can find somepony who can help, we'd be ever so grateful."
"Okey dokey!" Pinkie says. "If I can help it, you'll be free before too much longer." she says.
Walking off some distance away, she looks around, ensuring that nopony sees her. "Okay. It's Showtime!" In a matter of seconds, Annoying Mare is once again present. "Now," she says, clacking her hands together, "Lets see about this ruler of these lands."
