Mirror, Mirror, on The Wall...by ChocovichChaptersChapter 1: The TourChapter 2: The Pinkamena IncidentChapter 3: AftermathChapter 4: It Grows InsideChapter 5: Back HomeChapter 6: Breaking the NewsChapter 7: Midwife Crusaders!Chapter 8: She's Gonna Blow!Chapter 9: Surprise!Chapter 1: The TourChapter 1: The Tour The six Elements of Harmony slowly trotted through the halls of Canterlot castle. They had no idea what they were going to be shown, but Celestia had said in her letter that it was urgent, and could come in handy should Discord return, or worse. Twilight was eager to learn about whatever her teacher was going to show her and her friends, but everypony else, especially Pinkie Pie, were bored. "Are we there yet?" Pinkie moaned, her hooves starting to get tired from walking through the castle for nearly an hour already. "Not yet Pinkie" Twilight said quietly. Even her hooves were starting to hurt from all the walking. This was a part of the castle she hadn't seen while she was studying under Celestia, so she was too interested in the decor to care about her hooves hurting. Meanwhile Rarity was jumping around, yelping every now and then as she noticed a cobweb or a large patch of dust, and Rainbow was slowly flying above the group in circles, much to Applejack's annoyance. "Can you stop doin' that Rainbow?" Applejack asked quietly, getting annoyed with the number of colors flying across her vision every few seconds. "I'm not stopping until we see-" Rainbow said before looking ahead of her, seeing Celestia watching her with interest. She immediately landed, smiling nervously. "Hello Elements" Celestia said in her royal voice, causing the six ponies to snap to attention. "Hello Princess" the ponies said as they bowed to Celestia. Celestia calmly walked over and motioned for them to rise. "Please, follow me" Celestia said as she turned to continue down the hallway. The mane 6 got to their hooves and followed Celestia down the hall, stopping at a large onyx door. They watched as Princess Luna flew down the hall, landing next to her sister, the two of them working together to open the door. When it was open Celestia turned to Luna. "Thank you sister" Celestia said, quickly hugging Luna. "Are you sure you do not want help with this tour, this wing is dangerous" Luna said, worriedly looking at the Elements. The six ponies looked at each other, each of them now worried about what they were going to be shown, except for Pinkie Pie. "Why is it dangerous?" Pinkie asked energetically, making Twilight facehoof. "Pinkie don't ask the Princesses that" Twilight said tiredly. "Don't worry Twilight, is it perfectly fine that she asked" Celestia said sweetly, making Pinkie smile happily. She started to bounce around happily as Celestia motioned for the Elements to follow her through the large door. They quickly followed her, but something caught Pinkie's attention. At the end of the hall there was a large pink door, all by itself at the very end of the hall. As the rest of the group walked into the first room, Celestia beginning to explain about something she called the "Serpent Staff". Pinkie quickly bounced towards the end of the hall, as if the door was begging for her to open it. "I wonder what's behind you..." Pinkie said slowly as she stared at the door, seeing a small hole which she guessed was meant so only Celestia or Luna could open it. Since Pinkie wasn't going to take no for an answer she looked around for something that was going to fit in the hole, hoping that it would work the same as Celestia's horn. Of course there was nothing around the door that would work, so she decided to try and use her hair to open it, shoving the end of it inside the hole. After a few seconds of her fiddling around with her hair there was a loud clicking noise as the door unlocked. "Hey it worked!" Pinkie said happily as she hopped back letting the door open slowly in front of her. She jumped inside as soon as it was open enough for her to fit through, the door quickly closing behind her. As she looked around the room the only thing she could find was a large mirror sitting in the middle of the room. "I wonder what this does?" Pinkie asked as she looked around the mirror, trying to find something that would explain why it was here, but for all intents and purposes, it was a normal mirror. "Hello Pinkie" a strange, yet familiar voice said from around the mirror. "Who's there?" Pinkie asked quickly, worried that somepony might have found out she broke into the room. She looked around the mirror, not finding anypony but her, until she looked into the mirror... "Ah, you found me" the pony said from inside the mirror. As Pinkie looked at her she noticed that the pony looked like her, except with flat hair and seemed slightly darker and creepier. "Who are you?" Pinkie asked cheerfully, reaching out to shake the pony's hoof, forgetting that she was standing in front of a mirror, "I'm Pinkie Pie!". Pinkie suddenly felt her hoof get pulled towards the mirror, but instead of breaking it she was pulled inside, into complete darkness. "Hello?" Pinkie said slowly, scared and confused by what was going on. Shouldn't she have broken the mirror? How did she get pulled inside? Where was the other pony? "You should get comfortable Pinkie" the pony said from far away, her voice sounding like an echo. "Why?" Pinkie asked sadly, her hair deflating somewhat as she realized there was no way out of, wherever she was. "Why?" the voice said evily, "Oh, it's really quite simple...". The voice paused for a second to laugh maniacally before continuing her sentence. "It's Pinkamena's time to play!" Pinkemena said as a small hole opened up in front of Pinkie, showing her an image of the other pony, but this time she was in the room. Pinkie quickly thought about what it meant before blurting something out. "Am I in the mirror now?!" Pinkie cried, her fear getting the better of her as she scrambled around looking for someway out. Her hair slowly deflated as she searched, not finding a single way out. "Sorry Pinkie, but you have to stay in there until I've had my fun" Pinkamena said, mocking Pinkie as she continued to search for a way out. Creak... Pinkamena quickly turned around, seeing Celestia and the other Elements looking at her in confusion. "What are you doing here Pinkie?" Twilight asked worriedly. "Sorry Pinkie Pie is not here at the moment, please leave a message after the beep" Pinkamena cackled before shouting, "BEEP!" Chapter 2: The Pinkamena IncidentChapter 2: The Pinkamena Incident "What is she t-" Twilight began to say before she was tackled by Pinkamena, the two of them tumbling out of the room. Celestia quickly looked into the mirror, seeing Pinkie sitting on the other side. "Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy asked, having followed Celestia to the mirror. Celestia quickly put a hoof Fluttershy's shoulder, looking at her sadly. "She can't hear you, she can only hear that Pinkie" Celestia said, looking slowly at Pinkamena. She was trying to hit Twilight, but Twilight and Rarity's magic were holding her hooves back while Rainbow tried to pull her away. Rainbow was struggling to get Pinkamena off of Twilight, put she was putting up a tough fight. After realizing that the fight was futile Pinkamena gave up, and because of Rainbow's attempts to pull her away the two of them went flying down the hallway. THUD "AUGH!" Rainbow screamed, her wing having been caught behind her as she hit the wall, crushing it. Pinkamena laughed as she got up, stepping on Rainbow's injured wing in the process, eliciting another cry from her. Fluttershy squeaked as Pinkamena punched Rainbow in the face. Rainbow managed to grab the next punch and throw Pinkamena off of her. "What the hell Pinkie?!" Rainbow shouted, rubbing the spot on her snout where Pinkie had hit her. Rainbow grimaced slightly as she poked the area. As she brought her hoof down Pinkamena lunged forwards, bringing Rainbow back down to the ground. "Cupcakes, so sweet and tasty..." Pinkamena said slowly as she punched Rainbow again, making her yelp. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Rainbow cried as Pinkamena bit her ear, taking a small bit off the top. The others cringed as Pinkamena slowly chewed on the bit she had taken off, spitting it out after a few moments. "Ugh, needs more frosting" Pinkamena said before stopping a punch that Rainbow had thrown at her. Rainbow gasped as Pinkamena bit her hoof, shaking her head back and forth in an attempt to pull out a chunk of the hoof. Before she could do anymore damage to Rainbow's hoof Celestia used her magic to pull Pinkamena off of Rainbow. "You need to go back into the mirror you monster" Celestia said angrily, staring Pinkamena down. Pinkamena struggled before Celestia's hold broke, making the princess jump back in surprise. Before she could be grabbed again Pinkamena jumped away, hopping out the nearest window she could find. Fluttershy quickly rushed over to Rainbow's side while Rarity and Twilight chased after Pinkamena. "Oh, I hope they find her" Fluttershy said while she looked at Rainbow's wound, seeing how much damage Pinkamena had done. "They better find her" Rainbow grunted as Fluttershy prodded her hoof, "I have a score to settle with her" "Don't worry Rainbow they will find her, for now," Celestia said softly as she picked up Rainbow in her magic, "You're going to the hospital". Rainbow moaned, looking to Fluttershy for help, hoping she would get her out of having to go to the hospital, but Fluttershy was busy looking for the bit of ear Pinkemena had spit out. Pinkamena bounced around the castle's roof, looking for somepony to play with. After being chased away from Rainbow Dash she wanted to have some more fun, maybe somepony more male... "Hey you, get down from there!" a guard pony shouted from below, having seen Pinkamena jump across the roof. Pinkemena looked him over quickly, deciding he would be her new play thing. A white Unicorn with fairly defined muscles, what must be a long flowing mane, and glowing blue eyes. He continued to watch her as she jumped down, landing right in front of him with a devilish grin. "Hey there handsome" Pinkamena said in a seductive tone, making the guard back up slowly. "Are you okay Miss?" the guard asked, getting an odd vibe from Pinkamena, it was something like a mixture of lust and murderous intent. He watched her slowly as she put her hoof around his neck, slowly pulling him into a kiss despite his attempts to pull away. "Miss please, stop what you are doing" the guard said as he tried pushing Pinkamena off of him. "My name is Pinkamena, what's yours?" Pinkamena asked slowly, rubbing her hoof along the guard's neck sensually. "M-my name is Boulder" the guard stuttered as Pinkamena pushed him to the ground, a wide smile going across her face. "Then you must be rock hard..." Pinkamena said as she lowered herself down, holding Boulder down on his back. "What do you-" Boulder said before Pinkamena touched him somewhere else, "What are you doing, stop touching me there!" "Oh just shut up and enjoy it" Pinkamena said as she clubbed him with her hoof, knocking him out, "Oops, oh well, I'll have fun by myself..." "Hi there Pinkie..." Pinkamena said in a tired, yet satisfied, voice. Pinkie quickly looked towards the window, seeing her other self with an exhausted smile. "What did you do?" Pinkie asked, worried after having heard the fight with Rainbow Dash. "Oh nothing, but I'm ready to go back now" Pinkamena said while tapping the mirror, a ripple appearing across the glass. Pinkie was suddenly blinded by a bright light, and when she opened her eyes she was back in her body, looking into the mirror. She moved around, feeling like she had just eaten a whole ton of cupcakes. "Did you eat a whole lot of cupcakes or something?" Pinkie asked, making Pinkamena laugh loudly. "Nope" Pinkamena cackled, making Pinkie think of another type of dessert. "Jelly filled donuts?" Pinkie asked quickly. "Well, it was jelly filled" Pinkamena laughed. Before Pinkie could suggest anything else Shining Armor and his best men burst through the door. The guards immediately tackled Pinkie, taking her to ground, making sure each of her limbs were pinned to her body. "You're under arrest for one count of assault, murder, and rape" Shining Armor said coldly as his guards pulled Pinkie to her feet. The Unicorns bound her legs and the Pegasi carried her out of the room, leaving Shining Armor by himself to stare into the mirror. "I'm sorry Pinkie..." Shining Armor said as he saw his reflection in the mirror, knowing what happens to ponies who kill royal guards... Chapter 3: AftermathChapter 3: Aftermath "Your majesty, we have found her" Shining Armor said with a hint of sadness in his voice as his men brought Pinkie into the throne room behind him. The guards dropped her on the ground quickly, making everypony in the room grimace as she hit the ground. Shining Armor quickly moved to reprimand the guards, but Pinkie stopped him. "It's okay, I probably deserve it" Pinkie said weakly, the hit having knocked the breath out of her. He smiled weakly as he walked out of the throne room after his men, it was his job to tell the dead guard's family the news. Pinkie smiled as he left the room, shakily getting to her feet so she could face Celestia. When she looked up she saw a soft smile on Celestia's face. "You're the real Pinkie Pie, aren't you?" Celestia asked sweetly, making everypony look at her in surprise. Rainbow was the most surprised, but when she took a good look at Pinkie she could see why Celestia had asked. Unlike the Pinkie that had attacked her, this Pinkie looked scared, weak, and sad. "I hope I am" Pinkie said sadly, looking over to Rainbow Dash, "I heard the fight, I'm really sorry for what happened...". Everypony in the room looked at Pinkie with pity, especially Celestia. The sudden change in behavior, even the difference in her appearance told Celestia that this Pinkie wasn't the same one that had attack Rainbow or the guard. "Well that settles it" Celestia said firmly, her serious face making a return, "One month dungeon" "One month?" Pinkie asked, looking at Celestia in confusion, "I killed a guard and attack Rainbow, shouldn't my sentence be worse?" "Well, it would be if it had actually been you that did those things" Celestia said, her horn flaring with magic as she summoned a scroll from deep in the castle, "One month is the minimum for trespassing". Everypony looked at Celestia as the scroll appear, quickly being opened and read by the princess. After a few minutes of silence Celestia wrapped up the scroll and sent it back to wherever it came from. "As I have suspected, the mirror brought out another version of you, that was previously locked deep within you" Celestia said firmly, looking Pinkie straight in the eyes. Celestia quickly scanned the expression of everypony in the room, only one of them, Twilight to be exact, seemed to understand what she meant. "So this mirror is cursed by powerful magic?" Twilight asked slowly, not wanting to be incorrect in what she was trying to say. Celestia smiled happily at her student because she had guessed correctly. "Yes, this mirror is an ancient weapon used to turn enemies to your cause" Celestia said while looking at Pinkie, "It usually affect those who were the most happy" "Can she still be affected now?" Fluttershy asked, looking at Rainbow's hoof and ear. Celestia nodded slowly, looking at the two guards that had stayed behind to take Pinkie away after her sentencing. Now that she had been sentenced and everypony knew what had happened it was time for her to being serving her time. It's been a week since Pinkie had been tossed in the dungeon. Her friends, except for Rainbow, had all come to visit, even giving her toys and deserts to cheer her up, but she was still depressed. She had hurt Rainbow and killed a guard. How could anypony expect her to walk away from that? Not to mentioned she raped the guard before killing him, what if she got pregnant? BANG BANG "Hello?" Pinkie asked quietly, knowing it was either a guard coming to spit on her, or it was time to feed her. She watched carefully as the door opened, a light blue hoof pushing it open. "Hey there Pinkie" Rainbow said sadly as she took a seat next to Pinkie on the bed. Rainbow wiggled around for a bit, trying to get comfortable, eventually giving up after it only got worse. "How do you sleep on this thing?" Rainbow asked, her flanks starting to hurt from the hard mattress. "I don't" Pinkie said sadly, looking at a spot on the floor, "Why are you here?" "Well, you are my friend so..." Rainbow said sarcastically, but when she saw that Pinkie didn't take notice she sat back down, putting her hoof on Pinkie's back. She rubbed Pinkie's back slowly, but soon after Pinkie began to cry. Rainbow jumped in front of her to see what was wrong but Pinkie pushed her away. "I don't understand why you came to see me, I hurt you" Pinkie said quietly, her sobbing making it almost incomprehensible. Rainbow looked at her worriedly before giving her a hug, making Pinkie cry even more, and then she left. She didn't want to see her friend crying like that because of her, but Pinkie wasn't crying because of her being there. Pinkie was crying because of what she had done to her before. "Miss Pie, it's time to wake up" a guard said while banging on Pinkie's cell door. When there was no response he put his ear to the door, hearing what sounded like vomiting. Being one of the few guards that didn't hate Pinkie he ran towards the nurse's station, urging on of them to come to her cell. As they got back the sound had gotten louder, being broken up by the occasional cry from Pinkie. She felt as if she was throwing up everything she had eaten for the past week, and her stomach was killing her. "Miss Pie are you alright?!" the guard shouted as he threw open the door. When he saw Pinkie crouched over the hole she had for a toilet he rushed over and picked her up, running her all the way towards the castle hospital, confusing the nurse he had brought back with him. "Where are you taking me?" Pinkie asked wearily, not being fully aware of her surroundings. "To the doctors" the guard said as he turned a sharp corner. For all he knew one of the other guards could have slipped her poison. He wasn't stupid, he knew how much many members of the guard wanted her dead, many of them being his direct coworkers, but he had heard the story about what caused this, and he believed it. In his mind there was no way this kind mare could have done any of the things they say she did. Just as they got to the hospital Pinkie passed out, but not before whispering one thing to the guard. "Thank you..." Chapter 4: It Grows InsideChapter 4: It Grows Inside "Is she going to be okay?" the guard asked as he followed the doctor who had taken Pinkie. It had been almost an hour and there has been no word about her health. The guard was pacing back and forth through the hall when Shining Armor walked up to him. "What are you doing?" Shining Armor asked calmly, not being in the hospital on official business. "Well, uh, the prisoner, Miss Pie, was throwing up really bad, and I was worried, so I, uh-" the guard rambled, while nervously looking around. Shining Armor sighed as he put his hoof on the guard's shoulder. "Frosty, calm down" Shining said as he lifted the guard's face up with his hoof, "These are the best doctor's in Equestria, she'll be alright". Frosty looking into Shining's eyes and could tell he was telling the truth. Even though he had already known these doctors were the best he felt comforted by his superior officer saying it. As Shining walked away Frosty sat against the wall, waiting for some news about Pinkie's condition. "Mr. Frost?" a nurse called from down the hall, catching Frosty's attention. He quickly got to his hooves and raced down the hall, almost colliding with one of the doctors, and skidded to a stop in front of the nurse. "What is it?" Frosty asked quickly, making the nurse take a step back. "You're being called back down to the dungeon to finish your shift" the nurse said flatly, wanting to get him out of her face as fast as possible. Frosty slowly turned away, a frown growing on his face as he walked out of the hospital, slowly making his way back to the depths of the castle. As he turned the corner out of the hospital and group of five mares ran past him into the hospital. "Is Pinkie all right?!" one of them shouted, making Frosty stop for a second. They must be her friends, Frosty thought as he started to make his way back again, this time with a small smile on his face because he knew Pinkie was with her friends. Pinkie slowly opened her eyes, finding herself staring at a clean, white, ceiling. When she tried to sit up she felt something push down on her chest, and when she looked she saw a light blue hoof. "Rainbow?" Pinkie said quietly, suddenly feeling dizzy. "Yeah, everypony else is here too" Rainbow said sweetly as she took her hoof off Pinkie's chest. Pinkie suddenly felt two pairs of hooves lifting her up, allowing her to move so she was sitting. When she was properly situated she saw that Rainbow was right, everypony was there, including a doctor. "Hello Miss Pie" the doctor said as he pulled her chart out from behind him, "My name is Doctor Monitor" "Hi Doctor Monitor" Pinkie said slowly, her face turning green. Doctor Monitor quickly levitated the trash can in front of Pinkie and she vomited into it, making everypony else turn away. When she had finished Doctor Stable moved the trash can back to where he had gotten it from. "So, what I was going to say is..." Doctor Monitor said, pausing for dramatic effect, "You're pregnant Miss Pie" "WHAT?!" the five mares in the room shouted, making Doctor Monitor cover his ears. "We ran some tests while she was asleep, and they said without a doubt, she's pregnant" "Who did it?" Twilight asked, before she, along with the rest of them, realized what had happened. "It's all my fault" Pinkie said quietly as she began to sob. She looked into the mirror, got possessed, attacked Rainbow, and raped a guard. To top it all off she was now pregnant with a rape baby, but she's the one who caused it. Pinkie soon started to cry out right, letting her tears flow freely as she thought about all the ponies she was going to disappoint. The Cakes, her friends, the princesses, her parents, everypony in Ponyville... "Pinkie?" Rainbow said worriedly as she put her hoof on Pinkie's back. When she looked up she saw Rainbow and all of her friends watching her worriedly. They didn't want to see her like this, and they were far from disappointed. "Thanks guys" Pinkie said with a smile as she wiped the tears off her face. "What for?" Rarity asked politely, not understanding why Pinkie was thanking them. "For still being here and not leaving when you heard the news" Pinkie said, still smiling as tears came from her eyes again, but this time they were tears of joy. The six mares quickly hugged, being interrupted by a cough from the doorway. When they looked towards the source of the cough they saw a white blue Pegasus guard with bright blue hair standing by the door. "I, uh, have to take you back to your cell now Miss Pie" the guard said sadly, not wanting to interrupt the sweet moment. After Pinkie was checked out she waved goodbye to her friends and followed the guard down to the dungeon. Because Pinkie was feeling like her old self again she decided to try and befriend the guard. "I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name?" Pinkie asked as she bounced up to walk beside the guard, who gave her a surprised look. "Me?" the guard asked, to which Pinkie nodded exictedly, "I'm Blue Frost, but everypony calls me Frosty" "Your name doesn't fit you all too well" Pinkie said absentmindedly as she bounced around, looking at the walls and the ceiling of the dungeon. "And why is that" Frosty asked, looking at her in suspicion. "Because you're the nicest guard I've seen since I got here!" Pinkie said happily, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before she bounced into her cell, shutting the door behind her. Frosty stood there, stunned, for a few minutes until another guard came by and punched him lightly. "Hey Frosty, your shift ended an hour ago, why are you still here" the guard asked. "I was escorting Pinkie, I mean, Miss Pie back to her cell" Frosty said nervously, feeling his cheeks turn red as he thought about what she had done before she had gone into her cell. As the other guard walked away Frosty heard a noise from Pinkie's cell and walked over, peering in through the small window to see what she was doing. "Hi!" Pinkie whispered quickly, "Is it okay if I call you muffin?" "Why muffin?" Frosty asked, genuinely wondering why she picked that name. "Because you're nice, warm, and sweet as a muffin" Pinkie said before jumping back from the door, "Or is that a cupcake? I forget" "Muffins fine" Frosty said with a smile, "I'll be back tomorrow Pinkie, see you then" "Bye muffin!" Pinkie said happily, waving her hoof sporadically at him. As Frosty walked away he couldn't help but smile, considering a beautiful mare had just given him a pet name. Meanwhile from Pinkie's cell you could hear her happily chanting the word muffin. Chapter 5: Back HomeChapter 5: Back Home Pinkie's month was up. She had served her time in the dungeon as was set to be sent home, but one pony didn't want that, and she knew it. For the last week or so Frosty, or muffin as she called him, had been acting strange, almost avoiding her whenever it was his shift. Pinkie would try to make him come to her cell, but he would just check in to see if she was okay and leave, not giving her a second thought. "Miss Pie, it's time to go home" When one of the other guards came to her cell and said those words to Pinkie, she felt sadder than she had even been before. As she exited the dungeon Frosty passed by, giving her a sad look before starting his shift. Pinkie whimpered quietly before looking up, only to find her friends and the Cakes waiting for her. "Mr and Mrs Cake?!" Pinkie shouted, running over to them to give them a hug, "What are you two doing here?!" "We came to get you of course" Mr Cake said as he roughed up Pinkie's mane. "What about Pound and Pumpkin?" Pinkie asked, thinking about the two foals she cared about so much. Mrs Cake shook her head and looked Pinkie in the eyes. "It's okay cupcake, they're in good hooves" Mrs Cake said as Pinkie let them go. They silently stared at each other, as if that would tell them what each other had done over the past month, but the only thing they got was comfort and happiness from it. After a few long minutes of staring the ponies made their way out of the castle. As they walked towards the Friendship Express the ponies caught up with one another, making up lost time with each other. "So Pinkie, anything interesting happen while you were in there? Rainbow asked, sitting next to Pinkie when they got onto the train. "Not really" Pinkie said, thinking about what had happened in the past month. The only thing she could think of was Frosty's face, which made her sad. Rainbow quickly put her hoof on Pinkie's shoulder, looking at her worriedly. Pinkie looked up quickly, giving her a sad smile. "Did something happen dear?" Rarity asked as she sat down across from Pinkie, looking at her sad smile with worry. "It's nothing, don't worry about me" Pinkie said sadly, forcing herself to smile as she continued to think about Frosty. She felt something there, but before she left he seemed to turn away from her, leaving her along in her cold, dark cell... "WELCOME BACK PINKIE!" the entire town of Ponyville cheered as Pinkie walked off of the train. When she looked around she saw every single pony in town standing on the platform, the entire town behind them being decorated with pink balloons and everything. "Is this for me?" Pinkie asked slowly, looking at everypony in the crowd. When they all smiled and nodded Pinkie started to cry. Some of the ponies closest to her moved to see if she was okay, but when she looked up they could see her gigantic smile. As the pony who usually made a party for any and everypony, having any and everypony throw a party for her was the best thing she could hope for. "Thank you all" Pinkie said through her tears of joy. The whole town erupted into a cheer, picking up Pinkie as they moved towards the middle of Ponyville, where most of the festivities were set up. They had all of her favorite food and drinks, along with every kind of game she had every played at a party. For the rest of the day everypony in Ponyville partied with Pinkie, laughing at her weird antics and jokes. Every now and then she would sit down and look at Canterlot, but nopony thought anything of it, but by the end of the party she was sitting all along on the top of Town Hall, looking sadly at Canterlot Castle. "Muffin..." Pinkie said slowly, the image of Frosty appearing in her mind, making her fight back tears. Just as she stood to go back to the party she saw somepony come flying towards her from Canterlot. She watched slowly as the pony came into view, his white coat and light blue hair flowing as he flew towards Pinkie. He landed next to her looking at her with sad eyes. "Sorry for leaving you Pinkie" Frosty said as he bowed his head to Pinkie, hoping she would forgive him for being such a jerk. When she didn't say anything for a while he looked up, Pinkie no where to be seen. Taking that as a no he sat down and put his head in his hooves and cried. He just, cried. He had finally found a mare that seemed to be interested in him and because he was afraid of her leaving he pushed her away. What he didn't know was that Pinkie had walked away, hiding on the other side of the roof while listening to him. "I'm sorry..." Pinkie said sadly, walking over to Frosty, but he didn't hear her through his sobs. It wasn't until she hugged him that he realized she was still there. He quickly looked up, seeing her with her face buried in his shoulder, crying herself. She felt bad for running away and making him feel sad. The two of them looked into each other's eyes for a moment before fully embracing each other. The their tears quickly dried up and the two of them spent the rest of the night watching the stars. Eventually they fell asleep, and when everypony noticed there was a loud, "DAWW..." The town quickly packed up their festivities and helped the two ponies down from the roof, careful not to wake them as they took them to Pinkie's room in Sugar Cube Corner. Until morning the two ponies hugged each other, both of them with smiles on their faces. Chapter 6: Breaking the NewsChapter 6: Breaking the News The next morning Pinkie Pie woke up to find Frosty sitting on the edge of her bed. She remembered what happened last night and was worried that he had started to regret what happened. After sitting up she put her hoof on his back, rubbing it slightly. "Is everything okay muffin?" Pinkie asked quietly, making Frosty turn around to face her. "I'm fine muffin, I just got up so I was trying to fully wake myself up" Frosty admitted, leaning back into Pinkie. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before laying his head on her legs. Pinkie started to caress his mane as he laid on her lap, and he smiled up at her. Before long he had fallen asleep again, but just as he got comfortable Mrs Cake opened the door to call Pinkie for work. "Pinkie it's time to-" Mrs Cake said, seeing the peaceful state the two ponies were, "Oh, nevermind. Pinkie, come down when you're ready" "Ok Mrs Cake" Pinkie said sweetly as Mrs Cake shut the door to give the two of them privacy. Pinkie slowly shook Frosty, hoping to wake him up. After a few seconds his eyes opened, looking at her happily. "What's up?" Frosty asked, still smiling happily at Pinkie. "I have to get to work," Pinkie said sweetly, a hint of sadness in her voice because she was going to be away from him, "and shouldn't you go to work too?" "Yeah, I guess..." Frosty said slowly as he sat up. The two of them got up and looked at each other longingly before making their way through their morning motions. Pinkie went for a shower and Frosty looked around for anything he might have brought with him. While Pinkie was in the shower Frosty left, but he did make sure to buy her a cupcake from the Cakes for her. When she finished her shower and went downstairs she saw the cupcake sitting on one of the tables with a note for her beside it. Sorry, I had to go Pinkie, but I hope this cupcake will make up for it. Love you, Frosty "Awww" Pinkie cooed before devouring the cupcake in one bite. When she turned around Mrs Cake was smiling at her sweetly, pretending to wipe her eyes. "Ah, young love is so sweet" Mrs Cake said before heading back into the kitchen, "Before long there will be more foals running around this bakery" "Uh, Mrs Cake?" Pinkie asked carefully, wanting to tell Mrs Cake about what happened in Canterlot. Mrs Cake quickly turned back around, standing in the doorway to the kitchen. "What is it cupcake?" Mrs Cake asked worriedly, knowing that something was bothering Pinkie from her tone of voice. "You know how you said there would be more foals around here?" Pinkie asked as Mrs Cake led her too a chair. Mrs Cake quickly nodded as they sat down, rubbing Pinkie's back softly. "When I was in Canterlot, I, uh, well..." Pinkie said as she started to loose her composure. How was she going to tell Mrs Cake about what happened? How would she explain that she raped a guard and got pregnant from it? What if Mrs Cake wanted to kick her out for it? What if- "Is everything okay cupcake?" Mrs Cake asked, dabbing Pinkie's face with a napkin. She didn't even realize she had started crying as she thought about all the horrible things that could happen. "I'm pregnant..." Pinkie admitted, covering her face with her hooves. After a few minutes of silence she felt Mrs Cake hug her, pulling her in close. Pinkie opened her eyes slowly, seeing Mrs Cake sobbing silently into Pinkie's shoulder. "Mrs Cake?" Pinkie asked worriedly. Was Mrs Cake mad with her for getting pregnant? "I'm so happy cupcake, congratulations" Mrs Cake said through her tears of joy. Pinkie smiled brightly and started to cry with Mrs Cake. Eventually Mr Cake came out of the kitchen to see what was holding the two mares up, and walked over quickly when he saw the two of them crying. "Is everything okay?" Mr Cake asked worriedly, putting a hoof on each of the mares. "Pinkie's pregnant!" Mrs Cake said happily, making Mr Cake freak out. When did this happen? Who's the father? How long has she been pregnant? When is the baby due? Will he have to kick her out? Is she going to go on maternity leave? How will he be able to make up for her missing days? What will she do with the baby? Will Pound and Pumpkin get along with the new baby? What will she call- THUD Mrs Cake and Pinkie looked up quickly to see Mr Cake sprawled out on the ground by one of the tables. The two mares laughed as Mr Cake got back to his feet, rubbing his head in pain before remembering what he was freaking out about. A few minutes later he hit another table, but this time he hit his head as he fell and knocked himself unconscious. Mrs Cake got up and walked over to the front desk, grabbing a pen and paper, while Pinkie went over to check on Mr Cake. "Mrs Cake, I think he's going to be out for a while" Pinkie shouted, seeing a large bump growing on Mr Cake's head. Mrs Cake laughed loudly as she walked over to the door with a note and a small amount of tape. After she put the note on the front door she walked over, putting a hoof on Pinkie's back. "I've taken care of it, don't worry" Mrs Cake said cheerfully, "Now let's get him upstairs". The two mares struggled to put Mr Cake on their backs so their could carry him upstairs. After some struggling they managed to make their way upstairs, but stopped when they heard a loud whine from outside, placing it as their regular morning costumers. They laughed as they laid Mr Cake in his bed, making their way to Pinkie's room to chat about her pregnancy. Their conversation was occasionally interrupted by loud cries of disappointment coming from outside because of the note Mrs Cake put on the door. Sugar Cube Corner, closed for the day Chapter 7: Midwife Crusaders!Chapter 7: Midwife Crusaders! "Pinkie do you need anything?" "Is everything feeling ok Pinkie?" "Can you get up on your own Pinkie?" Mrs Cake I-" Pinkie tried to jut in, only to be cut off by Mrs Cake asking another question. Ever since Pinkie's pregnancy put her on maternity leave, which was about a month ago, Mrs Cake had been watching her like a hawk. Making sure she didn't just eat cupcakes, didn't jump into her party cannon, didn't have any cider at parties, no breaking the 4th- "Pinkie, are you okay, you look a little dazed" Mrs Cake asked with her nose touching Pinkie's. "I'm okay Mrs Cake, you don't need to be a midwife for me, I'm fine on my own" Pinkie said while pushing Mrs Cake back, a dejected look on her face. Pinkie smiled calmly as Mrs Cake backed up, heading to the counter as the door to Sugar Cube Corner opened, the Cutie Mark Crusaders trotting in happily. "Hi Mrs Cake!" the girls said happily, each of them reaching for a bit to pay for their weekly cupcake with. After Mrs Cake handed them their cupcakes with a random cutie mark on them, per their request, they trotted happily over to Pinkie, Mrs Cake following them over. "Hi Pinkie" Sweetie Belle said as the other two stuffed their faces. The three of them sat next to Pinkie, taking turns gawking at her belly. They looked up as Mrs Cake sat on her other side, putting a hoof on Pinkie's belly. "If you want a midwife just ask, I'm always here" Mrs Cake said softly before running off to help Mr Cake in the kitchen after their smoke detector went off. You could hear them shuffling around quickly as they pulled a ruined batch of cupcakes out of the oven, as well as trying to get a new batch in. "Pinkie, what's a midwife?" Applebloom asked after wiping what was left of her cupcake off her face. "Well, a midwife is someone who..." Pinkie said, looking up idly as she thought about it, "Helps somepony who's pregnant" "How?" Scootaloo asked, finishing off her own cupcake. "They help her do daily things, like eat and make sure the baby is okay" Pinkie said with a smile, but when she looked down at the fillies her smile was gone. The three fillies had large grins on their faces, and after nodding to each other they jumped to their hooves before shouting... "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER MIDWIVES!" Pinkie quickly sighed, knowing they were going to do it even if she said no, so she simply sat back, hoping to enjoy something about it. She looked over to see the girls watching her expectantly, wanting some sort of order or command from Pinkie. "Girls?" Pinkie asked slowly. "Yes Pinkie?" the three responded at the same time. "Carry me to my room" Pinkie said with a grin, barely holding back a laugh as they looked at each other and her worriedly, knowing they were too weak to carry her on their own. Pinkie quickly got to her hooves and headed towards the stairs, pausing to look back at the girls. "You guys can go home for today, I'm going to go lay down" Pinkie said sweetly, calming the worried fillies. "Thanks Pinkie" Scootaloo said before running out of the door, quickly being followed by the other two. Pinkie smiled before turning back to the stairs. When she finally got up to her room she sat down on her bed, looking into her mirror to see how big she was. To her it looked like she had just eaten a whole lot of cake, but she knew what was inside. After leaning down to nuzzle it with her nose she looked back into the mirror, shock making her freeze instantly. "Hello Pinkie, remember me?" Pinkamena said from inside the mirror, smiling devilishly. She chuckled as she looked at Pinkie's body, knowing full well it was her that made her this way. Pinkie just started in horror as Pinkamena stepped out of the mirror, walking towards her slowly, an evil grin growing with every step. "You know, I wish you had been there, it was pretty fun, especially the ending..." Pinkamena said as she brought her head to Pinkie's ear, "It was like a party popper" "No..." Pinkie cried, shutting her eyes tight. She felt a pair of hooves on her shoulder, and when she opened her eyes she saw the Crusaders looking at her worriedly. "Are you okay Pinkie?" Applebloom asked softly, making Pinkie gasp. Was that all a dream? Did she fall asleep? "Why are you crying Pinkie?" Sweetie Belle asked, placing her own hoof on Pinkie. "It's okay girls, I just had a bad dream" Pinkie said with a forced smile, "but why are you three here?" "We came to help you, like midwives do" Scootaloo said with a confused expression, not understanding why Pinkie had asked. The Crusaders quickly looked at each other stupidly as they remembered that Pinkie said she was going to go lay down. "We can leave if you want us too" Applebloom said quietly, looking at the bed sheets sadly. She, nor the other Crusaders, didn't want to leave, they wanted to stay and get their midwife cutie marks. Pinkie smiled before pulling them into a hug. "It's okay girls, you can stay" Pinkie said, getting three big hugs back from the fillies. As Pinkie drifted off to sleep, the image of Pinkamena still in her mind, the Crusaders were busy running around, cleaning every inch of her room. When she finally drifted off to sleep the Crusaders sat by her bedside, waiting patiently for her to wake up. Later that night Frosty came to the bakery, wanting to look after Pinkie as she slept. When he found the Crusaders sleeping on her bedside her smiled warmly, and hurried off to get their sisters Rarity showed up first, quickly followed by Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow tagged along with Applejack "because she was bored" but she ended up taking Scootaloo to her house for the night. Once the mares were out of sight Frosty sat next to Pinkie, watching as she slept peacefully. She started to shake at one point as she dreamed about Pinkamena, but he quickly kissed her forehead, making her calm down. When she woke up the next morning Frosty was still sitting by her bedside, fast asleep. Chapter 8: She's Gonna Blow!Chapter 8: She's Gonna Blow! Almost a year has passed since the Pinkamena incident, and the estimated delivery day was quickly arriving. Everyday after school the CMC would come over and help Pinkie, which usually ended in her going to her room to lay down, the pregnancy taking away her usual energy. Today was no different. After the CMC managed to burn cupcakes in an attempt to give Pinkie a snack she shooed them away. As Pinkie climbed into her bed she looked at her mirror, which has been covered since her small hallucination. "I wonder..." Pinkie mumbled to herself as she got off her bed and walked over to the mirror, throwing the cover off. She cautiously looked at the mirror, seeing only herself inside of it. Giving the mirror one last look before heading back to her bed, Pinkie had thought everything was okay, but... "Thanks for opening the window" Pinkie spun around as fast as she could, looking at the mirror in fear. She quickly looked around for the cover as Pinkamena started to ramble on about what she had done while the cover, or window as she called it, covered the mirror. Her crazy thoughts continued to spew out as Pinkie tore apart her room, unable to find the cover anywhere. Pinkie eventually gave up and climbed into her bed, now being berated by Pinkamena. "You'll never live this down" "I made you into this" "You killed that guard" "Frosty doesn't really love you" "Everypony hates you" "You sl-" "SHUT UP!" Pinkie shouted, throwing her bed sheets at the mirror, only managing to knock it over, smashing it to pieces. Pinkie sighed, thinking it was over, but she froze in fear when she read Pinkamena's maniacal laughter. "Thanks, it was getting stuffy in there" Pinkamena said evilly as she slowly trotted across the room, climbing onto the bed behind Pinkie. Pinkamena slowly started to rub Pinkie's mane, laughing quietly to herself as she did. After a few minutes Pinkie began to shake violently and started to cry. "Pinkie, dear, are you okay?" Mrs Cake asked from the other side of her door, leaning against it so she could hear Pinkie's answer. "No..." "I'm coming in now sweetie" Mrs Cake said slowly as she opened the door, but when she saw Pinkie curled up into a ball on her bed she rushed over. Checking over her body, Mrs Cake gasped, quickly looking into Pinkie's eyes. "Dear, you need to come with me" Mrs Cake said hurriedly, urging Pinkie to get off the bed. Pinkie looked at her sadly before realizing what had caused Mrs Cake to push her towards the door. Her water broke... Frosty was getting ready to leave his post, only there until his replacement, Stone Wall, showed up to watch the royal chambers for the night. After he became friends with the Elements of Harmony, and Captain Armor, he was promoted, and as such, had to watch the princesses. He heard the telltale clopping of hooves as somepony came running towards him. Thinking it was Stone he got up, taking off his helmet, but when he saw Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy turn the corner he froze. "What's going on, is everything okay?!" Frosty said quickly, knowing that the two of them flying all the way to Canterlot in the evening meant something big going on. Rainbow and Fluttershy tried to get their breath back, but before they could say anything a scroll appeared in front of Frosty. It opened up and Frosty understood what was going on from the three words on it... PONYVILLE HOSPITAL NOW! As luck would have it, Stone Wall turned the corner a second later, looking at the three Pegasi in confusion. "What's going on?" Stone asked, his voice getting abnormally high as he noticed that the two mares were none other than Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Frosty threw the scroll at Stone Wall before throwing his armor to the ground and then taking off out the nearest window. Rainbow and Fluttershy groaned as they watched him fly away, even Rainbow's wings hurting from the flight from Ponyville. Stone Wall walked over and, as smooth as he could... "Can I assist you two beautiful mares" "Where's Pinkie?!" Frosty shouted as he flew through the front doors of the Ponyville hospital. Everypony in the waiting room looked at him in confusion, a small foal crying because of the sudden noise. Silence reigned until somepony coughed, getting everypony's attention. The elderly Unicorn slowly waved at everypony, the attention quickly being taken off him as Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack came bounding down the hallway. "How did you get here so fast?!" Twilight asked quickly, looking at Frosty's wings, which looked as if he had gone years without preening them. "Flew really fast, didn't stop, wings hurt..." Frosty said as his eyes slowly shut, the effects of flying faster than normal taking their toll on him as he collapsed to the ground. When his jaw hit the cold linoleum floor he snapped back up to attention, looking around quickly before his eyes settled on the three mares that he knew. "Where is she?" Frosty asked, his focus now entirely on Pinkie's safety. The three mares quickly turned around, running towards Pinkie's room, where she was still giving birth to her foal. Frosty quickly opened the door, making his way to her side despite the arguments from the doctors in the room. "Pinkie, are you okay?" Frosty asked worriedly as he grabbed Pinkie's hoof, immediately regretting his decision. She quickly squeezed his hoof tight, making him yelp in pain as the doctor performing the birthing looked over Pinkie's belly. He mouthed the word contractions, and Frosty knew what was going on. He steeled himself for the oncoming onslaught of pain as Pinkie gritted her teeth, his hoof very soon after getting crushed as if all of Equestria was on it. "Push!" "Ow!" "Push!" "OW!" "PUSH!" "OW!" "PU-" "DON'T SAY IT, JUST DO- OH CELESTIA, WHY?" For the rest of the night Frost cried out in pain, his own cries beating out Pinkie's shouts of pain as she crushed his hoof. As the birthing continued you could hear Frosty starting to talk to himself, going over all the things he wished he could have done with his life, asking for forgiveness from Celestia and Luna, and even praying to Discord for the pain to end. After he ran out of things to say he turned to a nearby nurse, his eyes wide as he asked... "Is it possible for a stallion to die when his mare is giving birth?" Chapter 9: Surprise!Chapter 9: Surprise! "Congratulations, it's a filly!" the doctor said happily as one of the nurses passed him the newborn foal. Frost looked up slowly, his eyes filled with tears. "Is it over?" he asked pitifully, looking at the doctor with pleading eyes. "Yes, it's over" the Doctor said as he handed the pearly white foal to Frost, who stared at it stupidly, as if he didn't know what it was. He continued to stare at the foal until Pinkie put a hoof on his shoulder, making him turn quickly. "Can I see her?" Pinkie asked sweetly, and Frost happily obliged. Pinkie cooed as the foal was placed in her arms, her motherly love almost strong enough for everyone in the room to feel it. The foal started to cry, but Pinkie quickly hushed her with a kiss on the forehead. "She's so pretty..." Pinkie said quietly as she watched her foal roll about in her arms. Frost leaned in to get a better look at the baby, but got a kick to the snout instead. "Ow!" Frost yelped as he jump back from the foal, "She's got great legs too!" "Yeah, and look, she has a blue streak in her mane" Pinkie said, turning the foal so that Frost could get a look without being kicked in the face again. When he looked closely he could see a small blue streak running through the foal's bright yellow mane. "Wow..." Frost said slowly as he looked closer at the young foal, who was still happily rolling around, "She has lots of energy, just like her mother...". Pinkie smiled and looked up at Frost, reaching a free hoof out to touch the side of his head. He looked at her and smiled before leaning in to place a kiss on her lips, making the entire hospital staff melt from the adorableness of the situation. "You two will make great parents" one of the nurses said before leaving the room, but not before letting out one last, "Daw...". The rest of the staff quickly left the room, leaving Frost and Pinkie alone with the foal. "Parents, huh?" Pinkie said, her hair deflating a slight bit as she thought about what had brought this foal to her. She watched the foal sadly until Frost put a hoof on her shoulder, making her look at him instead. "I'd be honored if you let me raise this filly with you" Frost said sincerely, a tiny smile on his lips. Pinkie looked at him for a moment before smiling back, her eyes filling with tears as she pulled Frost into a hug. She cried into her shoulder as he hugged her tighter, and the foal even moved around slightly, hugging Frost's leg. They broke apart slightly, just enough so they could look into each other eyes. "I love you cupcake" Frost said, smiling as the foal tried to grab his wings from Pinkie's lap. Pinkie looked down at the foal before looking back up at Frost. "And I love you, muffin" Pinkie said sweetly as she moved forwards for a kiss. They embraced again for a moment, but the sound of the door to their room opening made them break apart. When they looked over they saw the doctor standing in the doorway, smiling at them with a clipboard suspended in the air by his magic. "Have you two decided on a name for the young foal?" the doctor asked, still smiling as the two of them looked at each worriedly. They hadn't ever thought of names, but when Pinkie suddenly smiled at the doctor Frost knew she had found a name she liked. "Surprise" Pinkie said confidently. When the foal started laughing everypony knew that it was the perfect name for her, so the doctor quickly wrote it down before walking over. "Well then, Surprise, welcome to Equestria" "Surprise come inside, it's raining!" "Coming dad!" Surprise yelled back to the blueish white Pegasus standing in the front door of her house. It was late in the day, and the Ponyville weather team had brought in the storm for the week. Sadly it got a little out of control and the storm had started to become too much for them to handle, so everypony was being advised to stay indoors for the evening. As Surprise went inside her house she saw her dad grabbing his boots from the closet. "Where are you going dad?" Surprise asked, worried that he was thinking about going out in the storm. "I have to go get your mother, she's stuck at Sugar Cube Corner" her dad said before giving her a kiss on the forehead, "Dinner's on the table, I'll be back in a bit" "Bye dad" Surprise said as her father took off from their front steps, leaving Surprise all by herself. At first, she was going to go raid the cookie jar, but when she saw the soup sitting on the table, waiting for her, well, her plans changed rather fast. She loves it when her dad makes her soup especially if it's... "Tomato!" Surprise shouted as she ran to the table, ready to eat the delicious red contents of the bowl. Within minutes the bowl was empty and Surprise was looking around for more. Despite her best efforts though, no more could be found. He must have hidden it so I wouldn't eat it all, Surprise thought as she crossed her legs angrily before making her way to her room. "Hello there" a mysterious voice said from inside the room, making Surprise jump slightly. "Hi Pinkamena" Surprise said calmly after looking at the source of the voice. It was her mothers old mirror, which had been given to her when she turned four. Although Pinkamena seemed real to Surprise, it was as if nopony else could see her, and oddly enough she looked just like her mother... "How are you today?" Pinkamena asked, looking at Surprise cheerfully. "I'm okay, but it's raining so I'm kinda sad" Surprise replied, looking at the floor sadly as Pinkamena chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm here for you if you need me" Pinkamena said sweetly, smiling at Surprise through the mirror. Surprise was about to talk to Pinkamena for a little bit longer, but her door opened, standing on the other side was her mother and father, smiling at her happily. "Talking to Pinkamena again dear?" her mom asked, looking into the mirror. For a second Surprise could have sworn she saw her mother and Pinkamena smile at each other, but after she blinked Pinkamena was gone, and her mom was looking at her happily. "Hi mom" Surprise said, pulling her mother into a hug. They hugged for a few more seconds before her mom pulled away, smiling happily. "Well, me and your father need to go dry ourselves off, you have fun with Pinkamena in here" her mom said, turning around to walk out of the room with her husband. As they shut the door Pinkamena came back in the mirror, so her and Surprise started to play again. They weren't really playing, it was more of a talk that they would have, throwing jokes back and forth, Pinkamena helping Surprise with things she didn't want to tell her parents, and usually, just to pass the time. From the other side of the door her parents could hear everything, and they smiled at each other before walking away. "She's a great imaginary friend, isn't she cupcake?" her dad said, looking back at the door. "The best, muffin" her mom said before planting a kiss on her husband's lips.
Chapter 1: The TourChapter 1: The Tour The six Elements of Harmony slowly trotted through the halls of Canterlot castle. They had no idea what they were going to be shown, but Celestia had said in her letter that it was urgent, and could come in handy should Discord return, or worse. Twilight was eager to learn about whatever her teacher was going to show her and her friends, but everypony else, especially Pinkie Pie, were bored. "Are we there yet?" Pinkie moaned, her hooves starting to get tired from walking through the castle for nearly an hour already. "Not yet Pinkie" Twilight said quietly. Even her hooves were starting to hurt from all the walking. This was a part of the castle she hadn't seen while she was studying under Celestia, so she was too interested in the decor to care about her hooves hurting. Meanwhile Rarity was jumping around, yelping every now and then as she noticed a cobweb or a large patch of dust, and Rainbow was slowly flying above the group in circles, much to Applejack's annoyance. "Can you stop doin' that Rainbow?" Applejack asked quietly, getting annoyed with the number of colors flying across her vision every few seconds. "I'm not stopping until we see-" Rainbow said before looking ahead of her, seeing Celestia watching her with interest. She immediately landed, smiling nervously. "Hello Elements" Celestia said in her royal voice, causing the six ponies to snap to attention. "Hello Princess" the ponies said as they bowed to Celestia. Celestia calmly walked over and motioned for them to rise. "Please, follow me" Celestia said as she turned to continue down the hallway. The mane 6 got to their hooves and followed Celestia down the hall, stopping at a large onyx door. They watched as Princess Luna flew down the hall, landing next to her sister, the two of them working together to open the door. When it was open Celestia turned to Luna. "Thank you sister" Celestia said, quickly hugging Luna. "Are you sure you do not want help with this tour, this wing is dangerous" Luna said, worriedly looking at the Elements. The six ponies looked at each other, each of them now worried about what they were going to be shown, except for Pinkie Pie. "Why is it dangerous?" Pinkie asked energetically, making Twilight facehoof. "Pinkie don't ask the Princesses that" Twilight said tiredly. "Don't worry Twilight, is it perfectly fine that she asked" Celestia said sweetly, making Pinkie smile happily. She started to bounce around happily as Celestia motioned for the Elements to follow her through the large door. They quickly followed her, but something caught Pinkie's attention. At the end of the hall there was a large pink door, all by itself at the very end of the hall. As the rest of the group walked into the first room, Celestia beginning to explain about something she called the "Serpent Staff". Pinkie quickly bounced towards the end of the hall, as if the door was begging for her to open it. "I wonder what's behind you..." Pinkie said slowly as she stared at the door, seeing a small hole which she guessed was meant so only Celestia or Luna could open it. Since Pinkie wasn't going to take no for an answer she looked around for something that was going to fit in the hole, hoping that it would work the same as Celestia's horn. Of course there was nothing around the door that would work, so she decided to try and use her hair to open it, shoving the end of it inside the hole. After a few seconds of her fiddling around with her hair there was a loud clicking noise as the door unlocked. "Hey it worked!" Pinkie said happily as she hopped back letting the door open slowly in front of her. She jumped inside as soon as it was open enough for her to fit through, the door quickly closing behind her. As she looked around the room the only thing she could find was a large mirror sitting in the middle of the room. "I wonder what this does?" Pinkie asked as she looked around the mirror, trying to find something that would explain why it was here, but for all intents and purposes, it was a normal mirror. "Hello Pinkie" a strange, yet familiar voice said from around the mirror. "Who's there?" Pinkie asked quickly, worried that somepony might have found out she broke into the room. She looked around the mirror, not finding anypony but her, until she looked into the mirror... "Ah, you found me" the pony said from inside the mirror. As Pinkie looked at her she noticed that the pony looked like her, except with flat hair and seemed slightly darker and creepier. "Who are you?" Pinkie asked cheerfully, reaching out to shake the pony's hoof, forgetting that she was standing in front of a mirror, "I'm Pinkie Pie!". Pinkie suddenly felt her hoof get pulled towards the mirror, but instead of breaking it she was pulled inside, into complete darkness. "Hello?" Pinkie said slowly, scared and confused by what was going on. Shouldn't she have broken the mirror? How did she get pulled inside? Where was the other pony? "You should get comfortable Pinkie" the pony said from far away, her voice sounding like an echo. "Why?" Pinkie asked sadly, her hair deflating somewhat as she realized there was no way out of, wherever she was. "Why?" the voice said evily, "Oh, it's really quite simple...". The voice paused for a second to laugh maniacally before continuing her sentence. "It's Pinkamena's time to play!" Pinkemena said as a small hole opened up in front of Pinkie, showing her an image of the other pony, but this time she was in the room. Pinkie quickly thought about what it meant before blurting something out. "Am I in the mirror now?!" Pinkie cried, her fear getting the better of her as she scrambled around looking for someway out. Her hair slowly deflated as she searched, not finding a single way out. "Sorry Pinkie, but you have to stay in there until I've had my fun" Pinkamena said, mocking Pinkie as she continued to search for a way out. Creak... Pinkamena quickly turned around, seeing Celestia and the other Elements looking at her in confusion. "What are you doing here Pinkie?" Twilight asked worriedly. "Sorry Pinkie Pie is not here at the moment, please leave a message after the beep" Pinkamena cackled before shouting, "BEEP!"
Chapter 2: The Pinkamena IncidentChapter 2: The Pinkamena Incident "What is she t-" Twilight began to say before she was tackled by Pinkamena, the two of them tumbling out of the room. Celestia quickly looked into the mirror, seeing Pinkie sitting on the other side. "Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy asked, having followed Celestia to the mirror. Celestia quickly put a hoof Fluttershy's shoulder, looking at her sadly. "She can't hear you, she can only hear that Pinkie" Celestia said, looking slowly at Pinkamena. She was trying to hit Twilight, but Twilight and Rarity's magic were holding her hooves back while Rainbow tried to pull her away. Rainbow was struggling to get Pinkamena off of Twilight, put she was putting up a tough fight. After realizing that the fight was futile Pinkamena gave up, and because of Rainbow's attempts to pull her away the two of them went flying down the hallway. THUD "AUGH!" Rainbow screamed, her wing having been caught behind her as she hit the wall, crushing it. Pinkamena laughed as she got up, stepping on Rainbow's injured wing in the process, eliciting another cry from her. Fluttershy squeaked as Pinkamena punched Rainbow in the face. Rainbow managed to grab the next punch and throw Pinkamena off of her. "What the hell Pinkie?!" Rainbow shouted, rubbing the spot on her snout where Pinkie had hit her. Rainbow grimaced slightly as she poked the area. As she brought her hoof down Pinkamena lunged forwards, bringing Rainbow back down to the ground. "Cupcakes, so sweet and tasty..." Pinkamena said slowly as she punched Rainbow again, making her yelp. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Rainbow cried as Pinkamena bit her ear, taking a small bit off the top. The others cringed as Pinkamena slowly chewed on the bit she had taken off, spitting it out after a few moments. "Ugh, needs more frosting" Pinkamena said before stopping a punch that Rainbow had thrown at her. Rainbow gasped as Pinkamena bit her hoof, shaking her head back and forth in an attempt to pull out a chunk of the hoof. Before she could do anymore damage to Rainbow's hoof Celestia used her magic to pull Pinkamena off of Rainbow. "You need to go back into the mirror you monster" Celestia said angrily, staring Pinkamena down. Pinkamena struggled before Celestia's hold broke, making the princess jump back in surprise. Before she could be grabbed again Pinkamena jumped away, hopping out the nearest window she could find. Fluttershy quickly rushed over to Rainbow's side while Rarity and Twilight chased after Pinkamena. "Oh, I hope they find her" Fluttershy said while she looked at Rainbow's wound, seeing how much damage Pinkamena had done. "They better find her" Rainbow grunted as Fluttershy prodded her hoof, "I have a score to settle with her" "Don't worry Rainbow they will find her, for now," Celestia said softly as she picked up Rainbow in her magic, "You're going to the hospital". Rainbow moaned, looking to Fluttershy for help, hoping she would get her out of having to go to the hospital, but Fluttershy was busy looking for the bit of ear Pinkemena had spit out. Pinkamena bounced around the castle's roof, looking for somepony to play with. After being chased away from Rainbow Dash she wanted to have some more fun, maybe somepony more male... "Hey you, get down from there!" a guard pony shouted from below, having seen Pinkamena jump across the roof. Pinkemena looked him over quickly, deciding he would be her new play thing. A white Unicorn with fairly defined muscles, what must be a long flowing mane, and glowing blue eyes. He continued to watch her as she jumped down, landing right in front of him with a devilish grin. "Hey there handsome" Pinkamena said in a seductive tone, making the guard back up slowly. "Are you okay Miss?" the guard asked, getting an odd vibe from Pinkamena, it was something like a mixture of lust and murderous intent. He watched her slowly as she put her hoof around his neck, slowly pulling him into a kiss despite his attempts to pull away. "Miss please, stop what you are doing" the guard said as he tried pushing Pinkamena off of him. "My name is Pinkamena, what's yours?" Pinkamena asked slowly, rubbing her hoof along the guard's neck sensually. "M-my name is Boulder" the guard stuttered as Pinkamena pushed him to the ground, a wide smile going across her face. "Then you must be rock hard..." Pinkamena said as she lowered herself down, holding Boulder down on his back. "What do you-" Boulder said before Pinkamena touched him somewhere else, "What are you doing, stop touching me there!" "Oh just shut up and enjoy it" Pinkamena said as she clubbed him with her hoof, knocking him out, "Oops, oh well, I'll have fun by myself..." "Hi there Pinkie..." Pinkamena said in a tired, yet satisfied, voice. Pinkie quickly looked towards the window, seeing her other self with an exhausted smile. "What did you do?" Pinkie asked, worried after having heard the fight with Rainbow Dash. "Oh nothing, but I'm ready to go back now" Pinkamena said while tapping the mirror, a ripple appearing across the glass. Pinkie was suddenly blinded by a bright light, and when she opened her eyes she was back in her body, looking into the mirror. She moved around, feeling like she had just eaten a whole ton of cupcakes. "Did you eat a whole lot of cupcakes or something?" Pinkie asked, making Pinkamena laugh loudly. "Nope" Pinkamena cackled, making Pinkie think of another type of dessert. "Jelly filled donuts?" Pinkie asked quickly. "Well, it was jelly filled" Pinkamena laughed. Before Pinkie could suggest anything else Shining Armor and his best men burst through the door. The guards immediately tackled Pinkie, taking her to ground, making sure each of her limbs were pinned to her body. "You're under arrest for one count of assault, murder, and rape" Shining Armor said coldly as his guards pulled Pinkie to her feet. The Unicorns bound her legs and the Pegasi carried her out of the room, leaving Shining Armor by himself to stare into the mirror. "I'm sorry Pinkie..." Shining Armor said as he saw his reflection in the mirror, knowing what happens to ponies who kill royal guards...
Chapter 3: AftermathChapter 3: Aftermath "Your majesty, we have found her" Shining Armor said with a hint of sadness in his voice as his men brought Pinkie into the throne room behind him. The guards dropped her on the ground quickly, making everypony in the room grimace as she hit the ground. Shining Armor quickly moved to reprimand the guards, but Pinkie stopped him. "It's okay, I probably deserve it" Pinkie said weakly, the hit having knocked the breath out of her. He smiled weakly as he walked out of the throne room after his men, it was his job to tell the dead guard's family the news. Pinkie smiled as he left the room, shakily getting to her feet so she could face Celestia. When she looked up she saw a soft smile on Celestia's face. "You're the real Pinkie Pie, aren't you?" Celestia asked sweetly, making everypony look at her in surprise. Rainbow was the most surprised, but when she took a good look at Pinkie she could see why Celestia had asked. Unlike the Pinkie that had attacked her, this Pinkie looked scared, weak, and sad. "I hope I am" Pinkie said sadly, looking over to Rainbow Dash, "I heard the fight, I'm really sorry for what happened...". Everypony in the room looked at Pinkie with pity, especially Celestia. The sudden change in behavior, even the difference in her appearance told Celestia that this Pinkie wasn't the same one that had attack Rainbow or the guard. "Well that settles it" Celestia said firmly, her serious face making a return, "One month dungeon" "One month?" Pinkie asked, looking at Celestia in confusion, "I killed a guard and attack Rainbow, shouldn't my sentence be worse?" "Well, it would be if it had actually been you that did those things" Celestia said, her horn flaring with magic as she summoned a scroll from deep in the castle, "One month is the minimum for trespassing". Everypony looked at Celestia as the scroll appear, quickly being opened and read by the princess. After a few minutes of silence Celestia wrapped up the scroll and sent it back to wherever it came from. "As I have suspected, the mirror brought out another version of you, that was previously locked deep within you" Celestia said firmly, looking Pinkie straight in the eyes. Celestia quickly scanned the expression of everypony in the room, only one of them, Twilight to be exact, seemed to understand what she meant. "So this mirror is cursed by powerful magic?" Twilight asked slowly, not wanting to be incorrect in what she was trying to say. Celestia smiled happily at her student because she had guessed correctly. "Yes, this mirror is an ancient weapon used to turn enemies to your cause" Celestia said while looking at Pinkie, "It usually affect those who were the most happy" "Can she still be affected now?" Fluttershy asked, looking at Rainbow's hoof and ear. Celestia nodded slowly, looking at the two guards that had stayed behind to take Pinkie away after her sentencing. Now that she had been sentenced and everypony knew what had happened it was time for her to being serving her time. It's been a week since Pinkie had been tossed in the dungeon. Her friends, except for Rainbow, had all come to visit, even giving her toys and deserts to cheer her up, but she was still depressed. She had hurt Rainbow and killed a guard. How could anypony expect her to walk away from that? Not to mentioned she raped the guard before killing him, what if she got pregnant? BANG BANG "Hello?" Pinkie asked quietly, knowing it was either a guard coming to spit on her, or it was time to feed her. She watched carefully as the door opened, a light blue hoof pushing it open. "Hey there Pinkie" Rainbow said sadly as she took a seat next to Pinkie on the bed. Rainbow wiggled around for a bit, trying to get comfortable, eventually giving up after it only got worse. "How do you sleep on this thing?" Rainbow asked, her flanks starting to hurt from the hard mattress. "I don't" Pinkie said sadly, looking at a spot on the floor, "Why are you here?" "Well, you are my friend so..." Rainbow said sarcastically, but when she saw that Pinkie didn't take notice she sat back down, putting her hoof on Pinkie's back. She rubbed Pinkie's back slowly, but soon after Pinkie began to cry. Rainbow jumped in front of her to see what was wrong but Pinkie pushed her away. "I don't understand why you came to see me, I hurt you" Pinkie said quietly, her sobbing making it almost incomprehensible. Rainbow looked at her worriedly before giving her a hug, making Pinkie cry even more, and then she left. She didn't want to see her friend crying like that because of her, but Pinkie wasn't crying because of her being there. Pinkie was crying because of what she had done to her before. "Miss Pie, it's time to wake up" a guard said while banging on Pinkie's cell door. When there was no response he put his ear to the door, hearing what sounded like vomiting. Being one of the few guards that didn't hate Pinkie he ran towards the nurse's station, urging on of them to come to her cell. As they got back the sound had gotten louder, being broken up by the occasional cry from Pinkie. She felt as if she was throwing up everything she had eaten for the past week, and her stomach was killing her. "Miss Pie are you alright?!" the guard shouted as he threw open the door. When he saw Pinkie crouched over the hole she had for a toilet he rushed over and picked her up, running her all the way towards the castle hospital, confusing the nurse he had brought back with him. "Where are you taking me?" Pinkie asked wearily, not being fully aware of her surroundings. "To the doctors" the guard said as he turned a sharp corner. For all he knew one of the other guards could have slipped her poison. He wasn't stupid, he knew how much many members of the guard wanted her dead, many of them being his direct coworkers, but he had heard the story about what caused this, and he believed it. In his mind there was no way this kind mare could have done any of the things they say she did. Just as they got to the hospital Pinkie passed out, but not before whispering one thing to the guard. "Thank you..."
Chapter 4: It Grows InsideChapter 4: It Grows Inside "Is she going to be okay?" the guard asked as he followed the doctor who had taken Pinkie. It had been almost an hour and there has been no word about her health. The guard was pacing back and forth through the hall when Shining Armor walked up to him. "What are you doing?" Shining Armor asked calmly, not being in the hospital on official business. "Well, uh, the prisoner, Miss Pie, was throwing up really bad, and I was worried, so I, uh-" the guard rambled, while nervously looking around. Shining Armor sighed as he put his hoof on the guard's shoulder. "Frosty, calm down" Shining said as he lifted the guard's face up with his hoof, "These are the best doctor's in Equestria, she'll be alright". Frosty looking into Shining's eyes and could tell he was telling the truth. Even though he had already known these doctors were the best he felt comforted by his superior officer saying it. As Shining walked away Frosty sat against the wall, waiting for some news about Pinkie's condition. "Mr. Frost?" a nurse called from down the hall, catching Frosty's attention. He quickly got to his hooves and raced down the hall, almost colliding with one of the doctors, and skidded to a stop in front of the nurse. "What is it?" Frosty asked quickly, making the nurse take a step back. "You're being called back down to the dungeon to finish your shift" the nurse said flatly, wanting to get him out of her face as fast as possible. Frosty slowly turned away, a frown growing on his face as he walked out of the hospital, slowly making his way back to the depths of the castle. As he turned the corner out of the hospital and group of five mares ran past him into the hospital. "Is Pinkie all right?!" one of them shouted, making Frosty stop for a second. They must be her friends, Frosty thought as he started to make his way back again, this time with a small smile on his face because he knew Pinkie was with her friends. Pinkie slowly opened her eyes, finding herself staring at a clean, white, ceiling. When she tried to sit up she felt something push down on her chest, and when she looked she saw a light blue hoof. "Rainbow?" Pinkie said quietly, suddenly feeling dizzy. "Yeah, everypony else is here too" Rainbow said sweetly as she took her hoof off Pinkie's chest. Pinkie suddenly felt two pairs of hooves lifting her up, allowing her to move so she was sitting. When she was properly situated she saw that Rainbow was right, everypony was there, including a doctor. "Hello Miss Pie" the doctor said as he pulled her chart out from behind him, "My name is Doctor Monitor" "Hi Doctor Monitor" Pinkie said slowly, her face turning green. Doctor Monitor quickly levitated the trash can in front of Pinkie and she vomited into it, making everypony else turn away. When she had finished Doctor Stable moved the trash can back to where he had gotten it from. "So, what I was going to say is..." Doctor Monitor said, pausing for dramatic effect, "You're pregnant Miss Pie" "WHAT?!" the five mares in the room shouted, making Doctor Monitor cover his ears. "We ran some tests while she was asleep, and they said without a doubt, she's pregnant" "Who did it?" Twilight asked, before she, along with the rest of them, realized what had happened. "It's all my fault" Pinkie said quietly as she began to sob. She looked into the mirror, got possessed, attacked Rainbow, and raped a guard. To top it all off she was now pregnant with a rape baby, but she's the one who caused it. Pinkie soon started to cry out right, letting her tears flow freely as she thought about all the ponies she was going to disappoint. The Cakes, her friends, the princesses, her parents, everypony in Ponyville... "Pinkie?" Rainbow said worriedly as she put her hoof on Pinkie's back. When she looked up she saw Rainbow and all of her friends watching her worriedly. They didn't want to see her like this, and they were far from disappointed. "Thanks guys" Pinkie said with a smile as she wiped the tears off her face. "What for?" Rarity asked politely, not understanding why Pinkie was thanking them. "For still being here and not leaving when you heard the news" Pinkie said, still smiling as tears came from her eyes again, but this time they were tears of joy. The six mares quickly hugged, being interrupted by a cough from the doorway. When they looked towards the source of the cough they saw a white blue Pegasus guard with bright blue hair standing by the door. "I, uh, have to take you back to your cell now Miss Pie" the guard said sadly, not wanting to interrupt the sweet moment. After Pinkie was checked out she waved goodbye to her friends and followed the guard down to the dungeon. Because Pinkie was feeling like her old self again she decided to try and befriend the guard. "I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name?" Pinkie asked as she bounced up to walk beside the guard, who gave her a surprised look. "Me?" the guard asked, to which Pinkie nodded exictedly, "I'm Blue Frost, but everypony calls me Frosty" "Your name doesn't fit you all too well" Pinkie said absentmindedly as she bounced around, looking at the walls and the ceiling of the dungeon. "And why is that" Frosty asked, looking at her in suspicion. "Because you're the nicest guard I've seen since I got here!" Pinkie said happily, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before she bounced into her cell, shutting the door behind her. Frosty stood there, stunned, for a few minutes until another guard came by and punched him lightly. "Hey Frosty, your shift ended an hour ago, why are you still here" the guard asked. "I was escorting Pinkie, I mean, Miss Pie back to her cell" Frosty said nervously, feeling his cheeks turn red as he thought about what she had done before she had gone into her cell. As the other guard walked away Frosty heard a noise from Pinkie's cell and walked over, peering in through the small window to see what she was doing. "Hi!" Pinkie whispered quickly, "Is it okay if I call you muffin?" "Why muffin?" Frosty asked, genuinely wondering why she picked that name. "Because you're nice, warm, and sweet as a muffin" Pinkie said before jumping back from the door, "Or is that a cupcake? I forget" "Muffins fine" Frosty said with a smile, "I'll be back tomorrow Pinkie, see you then" "Bye muffin!" Pinkie said happily, waving her hoof sporadically at him. As Frosty walked away he couldn't help but smile, considering a beautiful mare had just given him a pet name. Meanwhile from Pinkie's cell you could hear her happily chanting the word muffin.
Chapter 5: Back HomeChapter 5: Back Home Pinkie's month was up. She had served her time in the dungeon as was set to be sent home, but one pony didn't want that, and she knew it. For the last week or so Frosty, or muffin as she called him, had been acting strange, almost avoiding her whenever it was his shift. Pinkie would try to make him come to her cell, but he would just check in to see if she was okay and leave, not giving her a second thought. "Miss Pie, it's time to go home" When one of the other guards came to her cell and said those words to Pinkie, she felt sadder than she had even been before. As she exited the dungeon Frosty passed by, giving her a sad look before starting his shift. Pinkie whimpered quietly before looking up, only to find her friends and the Cakes waiting for her. "Mr and Mrs Cake?!" Pinkie shouted, running over to them to give them a hug, "What are you two doing here?!" "We came to get you of course" Mr Cake said as he roughed up Pinkie's mane. "What about Pound and Pumpkin?" Pinkie asked, thinking about the two foals she cared about so much. Mrs Cake shook her head and looked Pinkie in the eyes. "It's okay cupcake, they're in good hooves" Mrs Cake said as Pinkie let them go. They silently stared at each other, as if that would tell them what each other had done over the past month, but the only thing they got was comfort and happiness from it. After a few long minutes of staring the ponies made their way out of the castle. As they walked towards the Friendship Express the ponies caught up with one another, making up lost time with each other. "So Pinkie, anything interesting happen while you were in there? Rainbow asked, sitting next to Pinkie when they got onto the train. "Not really" Pinkie said, thinking about what had happened in the past month. The only thing she could think of was Frosty's face, which made her sad. Rainbow quickly put her hoof on Pinkie's shoulder, looking at her worriedly. Pinkie looked up quickly, giving her a sad smile. "Did something happen dear?" Rarity asked as she sat down across from Pinkie, looking at her sad smile with worry. "It's nothing, don't worry about me" Pinkie said sadly, forcing herself to smile as she continued to think about Frosty. She felt something there, but before she left he seemed to turn away from her, leaving her along in her cold, dark cell... "WELCOME BACK PINKIE!" the entire town of Ponyville cheered as Pinkie walked off of the train. When she looked around she saw every single pony in town standing on the platform, the entire town behind them being decorated with pink balloons and everything. "Is this for me?" Pinkie asked slowly, looking at everypony in the crowd. When they all smiled and nodded Pinkie started to cry. Some of the ponies closest to her moved to see if she was okay, but when she looked up they could see her gigantic smile. As the pony who usually made a party for any and everypony, having any and everypony throw a party for her was the best thing she could hope for. "Thank you all" Pinkie said through her tears of joy. The whole town erupted into a cheer, picking up Pinkie as they moved towards the middle of Ponyville, where most of the festivities were set up. They had all of her favorite food and drinks, along with every kind of game she had every played at a party. For the rest of the day everypony in Ponyville partied with Pinkie, laughing at her weird antics and jokes. Every now and then she would sit down and look at Canterlot, but nopony thought anything of it, but by the end of the party she was sitting all along on the top of Town Hall, looking sadly at Canterlot Castle. "Muffin..." Pinkie said slowly, the image of Frosty appearing in her mind, making her fight back tears. Just as she stood to go back to the party she saw somepony come flying towards her from Canterlot. She watched slowly as the pony came into view, his white coat and light blue hair flowing as he flew towards Pinkie. He landed next to her looking at her with sad eyes. "Sorry for leaving you Pinkie" Frosty said as he bowed his head to Pinkie, hoping she would forgive him for being such a jerk. When she didn't say anything for a while he looked up, Pinkie no where to be seen. Taking that as a no he sat down and put his head in his hooves and cried. He just, cried. He had finally found a mare that seemed to be interested in him and because he was afraid of her leaving he pushed her away. What he didn't know was that Pinkie had walked away, hiding on the other side of the roof while listening to him. "I'm sorry..." Pinkie said sadly, walking over to Frosty, but he didn't hear her through his sobs. It wasn't until she hugged him that he realized she was still there. He quickly looked up, seeing her with her face buried in his shoulder, crying herself. She felt bad for running away and making him feel sad. The two of them looked into each other's eyes for a moment before fully embracing each other. The their tears quickly dried up and the two of them spent the rest of the night watching the stars. Eventually they fell asleep, and when everypony noticed there was a loud, "DAWW..." The town quickly packed up their festivities and helped the two ponies down from the roof, careful not to wake them as they took them to Pinkie's room in Sugar Cube Corner. Until morning the two ponies hugged each other, both of them with smiles on their faces.
Chapter 6: Breaking the NewsChapter 6: Breaking the News The next morning Pinkie Pie woke up to find Frosty sitting on the edge of her bed. She remembered what happened last night and was worried that he had started to regret what happened. After sitting up she put her hoof on his back, rubbing it slightly. "Is everything okay muffin?" Pinkie asked quietly, making Frosty turn around to face her. "I'm fine muffin, I just got up so I was trying to fully wake myself up" Frosty admitted, leaning back into Pinkie. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before laying his head on her legs. Pinkie started to caress his mane as he laid on her lap, and he smiled up at her. Before long he had fallen asleep again, but just as he got comfortable Mrs Cake opened the door to call Pinkie for work. "Pinkie it's time to-" Mrs Cake said, seeing the peaceful state the two ponies were, "Oh, nevermind. Pinkie, come down when you're ready" "Ok Mrs Cake" Pinkie said sweetly as Mrs Cake shut the door to give the two of them privacy. Pinkie slowly shook Frosty, hoping to wake him up. After a few seconds his eyes opened, looking at her happily. "What's up?" Frosty asked, still smiling happily at Pinkie. "I have to get to work," Pinkie said sweetly, a hint of sadness in her voice because she was going to be away from him, "and shouldn't you go to work too?" "Yeah, I guess..." Frosty said slowly as he sat up. The two of them got up and looked at each other longingly before making their way through their morning motions. Pinkie went for a shower and Frosty looked around for anything he might have brought with him. While Pinkie was in the shower Frosty left, but he did make sure to buy her a cupcake from the Cakes for her. When she finished her shower and went downstairs she saw the cupcake sitting on one of the tables with a note for her beside it. Sorry, I had to go Pinkie, but I hope this cupcake will make up for it. Love you, Frosty "Awww" Pinkie cooed before devouring the cupcake in one bite. When she turned around Mrs Cake was smiling at her sweetly, pretending to wipe her eyes. "Ah, young love is so sweet" Mrs Cake said before heading back into the kitchen, "Before long there will be more foals running around this bakery" "Uh, Mrs Cake?" Pinkie asked carefully, wanting to tell Mrs Cake about what happened in Canterlot. Mrs Cake quickly turned back around, standing in the doorway to the kitchen. "What is it cupcake?" Mrs Cake asked worriedly, knowing that something was bothering Pinkie from her tone of voice. "You know how you said there would be more foals around here?" Pinkie asked as Mrs Cake led her too a chair. Mrs Cake quickly nodded as they sat down, rubbing Pinkie's back softly. "When I was in Canterlot, I, uh, well..." Pinkie said as she started to loose her composure. How was she going to tell Mrs Cake about what happened? How would she explain that she raped a guard and got pregnant from it? What if Mrs Cake wanted to kick her out for it? What if- "Is everything okay cupcake?" Mrs Cake asked, dabbing Pinkie's face with a napkin. She didn't even realize she had started crying as she thought about all the horrible things that could happen. "I'm pregnant..." Pinkie admitted, covering her face with her hooves. After a few minutes of silence she felt Mrs Cake hug her, pulling her in close. Pinkie opened her eyes slowly, seeing Mrs Cake sobbing silently into Pinkie's shoulder. "Mrs Cake?" Pinkie asked worriedly. Was Mrs Cake mad with her for getting pregnant? "I'm so happy cupcake, congratulations" Mrs Cake said through her tears of joy. Pinkie smiled brightly and started to cry with Mrs Cake. Eventually Mr Cake came out of the kitchen to see what was holding the two mares up, and walked over quickly when he saw the two of them crying. "Is everything okay?" Mr Cake asked worriedly, putting a hoof on each of the mares. "Pinkie's pregnant!" Mrs Cake said happily, making Mr Cake freak out. When did this happen? Who's the father? How long has she been pregnant? When is the baby due? Will he have to kick her out? Is she going to go on maternity leave? How will he be able to make up for her missing days? What will she do with the baby? Will Pound and Pumpkin get along with the new baby? What will she call- THUD Mrs Cake and Pinkie looked up quickly to see Mr Cake sprawled out on the ground by one of the tables. The two mares laughed as Mr Cake got back to his feet, rubbing his head in pain before remembering what he was freaking out about. A few minutes later he hit another table, but this time he hit his head as he fell and knocked himself unconscious. Mrs Cake got up and walked over to the front desk, grabbing a pen and paper, while Pinkie went over to check on Mr Cake. "Mrs Cake, I think he's going to be out for a while" Pinkie shouted, seeing a large bump growing on Mr Cake's head. Mrs Cake laughed loudly as she walked over to the door with a note and a small amount of tape. After she put the note on the front door she walked over, putting a hoof on Pinkie's back. "I've taken care of it, don't worry" Mrs Cake said cheerfully, "Now let's get him upstairs". The two mares struggled to put Mr Cake on their backs so their could carry him upstairs. After some struggling they managed to make their way upstairs, but stopped when they heard a loud whine from outside, placing it as their regular morning costumers. They laughed as they laid Mr Cake in his bed, making their way to Pinkie's room to chat about her pregnancy. Their conversation was occasionally interrupted by loud cries of disappointment coming from outside because of the note Mrs Cake put on the door. Sugar Cube Corner, closed for the day
Chapter 7: Midwife Crusaders!Chapter 7: Midwife Crusaders! "Pinkie do you need anything?" "Is everything feeling ok Pinkie?" "Can you get up on your own Pinkie?" Mrs Cake I-" Pinkie tried to jut in, only to be cut off by Mrs Cake asking another question. Ever since Pinkie's pregnancy put her on maternity leave, which was about a month ago, Mrs Cake had been watching her like a hawk. Making sure she didn't just eat cupcakes, didn't jump into her party cannon, didn't have any cider at parties, no breaking the 4th- "Pinkie, are you okay, you look a little dazed" Mrs Cake asked with her nose touching Pinkie's. "I'm okay Mrs Cake, you don't need to be a midwife for me, I'm fine on my own" Pinkie said while pushing Mrs Cake back, a dejected look on her face. Pinkie smiled calmly as Mrs Cake backed up, heading to the counter as the door to Sugar Cube Corner opened, the Cutie Mark Crusaders trotting in happily. "Hi Mrs Cake!" the girls said happily, each of them reaching for a bit to pay for their weekly cupcake with. After Mrs Cake handed them their cupcakes with a random cutie mark on them, per their request, they trotted happily over to Pinkie, Mrs Cake following them over. "Hi Pinkie" Sweetie Belle said as the other two stuffed their faces. The three of them sat next to Pinkie, taking turns gawking at her belly. They looked up as Mrs Cake sat on her other side, putting a hoof on Pinkie's belly. "If you want a midwife just ask, I'm always here" Mrs Cake said softly before running off to help Mr Cake in the kitchen after their smoke detector went off. You could hear them shuffling around quickly as they pulled a ruined batch of cupcakes out of the oven, as well as trying to get a new batch in. "Pinkie, what's a midwife?" Applebloom asked after wiping what was left of her cupcake off her face. "Well, a midwife is someone who..." Pinkie said, looking up idly as she thought about it, "Helps somepony who's pregnant" "How?" Scootaloo asked, finishing off her own cupcake. "They help her do daily things, like eat and make sure the baby is okay" Pinkie said with a smile, but when she looked down at the fillies her smile was gone. The three fillies had large grins on their faces, and after nodding to each other they jumped to their hooves before shouting... "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER MIDWIVES!" Pinkie quickly sighed, knowing they were going to do it even if she said no, so she simply sat back, hoping to enjoy something about it. She looked over to see the girls watching her expectantly, wanting some sort of order or command from Pinkie. "Girls?" Pinkie asked slowly. "Yes Pinkie?" the three responded at the same time. "Carry me to my room" Pinkie said with a grin, barely holding back a laugh as they looked at each other and her worriedly, knowing they were too weak to carry her on their own. Pinkie quickly got to her hooves and headed towards the stairs, pausing to look back at the girls. "You guys can go home for today, I'm going to go lay down" Pinkie said sweetly, calming the worried fillies. "Thanks Pinkie" Scootaloo said before running out of the door, quickly being followed by the other two. Pinkie smiled before turning back to the stairs. When she finally got up to her room she sat down on her bed, looking into her mirror to see how big she was. To her it looked like she had just eaten a whole lot of cake, but she knew what was inside. After leaning down to nuzzle it with her nose she looked back into the mirror, shock making her freeze instantly. "Hello Pinkie, remember me?" Pinkamena said from inside the mirror, smiling devilishly. She chuckled as she looked at Pinkie's body, knowing full well it was her that made her this way. Pinkie just started in horror as Pinkamena stepped out of the mirror, walking towards her slowly, an evil grin growing with every step. "You know, I wish you had been there, it was pretty fun, especially the ending..." Pinkamena said as she brought her head to Pinkie's ear, "It was like a party popper" "No..." Pinkie cried, shutting her eyes tight. She felt a pair of hooves on her shoulder, and when she opened her eyes she saw the Crusaders looking at her worriedly. "Are you okay Pinkie?" Applebloom asked softly, making Pinkie gasp. Was that all a dream? Did she fall asleep? "Why are you crying Pinkie?" Sweetie Belle asked, placing her own hoof on Pinkie. "It's okay girls, I just had a bad dream" Pinkie said with a forced smile, "but why are you three here?" "We came to help you, like midwives do" Scootaloo said with a confused expression, not understanding why Pinkie had asked. The Crusaders quickly looked at each other stupidly as they remembered that Pinkie said she was going to go lay down. "We can leave if you want us too" Applebloom said quietly, looking at the bed sheets sadly. She, nor the other Crusaders, didn't want to leave, they wanted to stay and get their midwife cutie marks. Pinkie smiled before pulling them into a hug. "It's okay girls, you can stay" Pinkie said, getting three big hugs back from the fillies. As Pinkie drifted off to sleep, the image of Pinkamena still in her mind, the Crusaders were busy running around, cleaning every inch of her room. When she finally drifted off to sleep the Crusaders sat by her bedside, waiting patiently for her to wake up. Later that night Frosty came to the bakery, wanting to look after Pinkie as she slept. When he found the Crusaders sleeping on her bedside her smiled warmly, and hurried off to get their sisters Rarity showed up first, quickly followed by Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow tagged along with Applejack "because she was bored" but she ended up taking Scootaloo to her house for the night. Once the mares were out of sight Frosty sat next to Pinkie, watching as she slept peacefully. She started to shake at one point as she dreamed about Pinkamena, but he quickly kissed her forehead, making her calm down. When she woke up the next morning Frosty was still sitting by her bedside, fast asleep.
Chapter 8: She's Gonna Blow!Chapter 8: She's Gonna Blow! Almost a year has passed since the Pinkamena incident, and the estimated delivery day was quickly arriving. Everyday after school the CMC would come over and help Pinkie, which usually ended in her going to her room to lay down, the pregnancy taking away her usual energy. Today was no different. After the CMC managed to burn cupcakes in an attempt to give Pinkie a snack she shooed them away. As Pinkie climbed into her bed she looked at her mirror, which has been covered since her small hallucination. "I wonder..." Pinkie mumbled to herself as she got off her bed and walked over to the mirror, throwing the cover off. She cautiously looked at the mirror, seeing only herself inside of it. Giving the mirror one last look before heading back to her bed, Pinkie had thought everything was okay, but... "Thanks for opening the window" Pinkie spun around as fast as she could, looking at the mirror in fear. She quickly looked around for the cover as Pinkamena started to ramble on about what she had done while the cover, or window as she called it, covered the mirror. Her crazy thoughts continued to spew out as Pinkie tore apart her room, unable to find the cover anywhere. Pinkie eventually gave up and climbed into her bed, now being berated by Pinkamena. "You'll never live this down" "I made you into this" "You killed that guard" "Frosty doesn't really love you" "Everypony hates you" "You sl-" "SHUT UP!" Pinkie shouted, throwing her bed sheets at the mirror, only managing to knock it over, smashing it to pieces. Pinkie sighed, thinking it was over, but she froze in fear when she read Pinkamena's maniacal laughter. "Thanks, it was getting stuffy in there" Pinkamena said evilly as she slowly trotted across the room, climbing onto the bed behind Pinkie. Pinkamena slowly started to rub Pinkie's mane, laughing quietly to herself as she did. After a few minutes Pinkie began to shake violently and started to cry. "Pinkie, dear, are you okay?" Mrs Cake asked from the other side of her door, leaning against it so she could hear Pinkie's answer. "No..." "I'm coming in now sweetie" Mrs Cake said slowly as she opened the door, but when she saw Pinkie curled up into a ball on her bed she rushed over. Checking over her body, Mrs Cake gasped, quickly looking into Pinkie's eyes. "Dear, you need to come with me" Mrs Cake said hurriedly, urging Pinkie to get off the bed. Pinkie looked at her sadly before realizing what had caused Mrs Cake to push her towards the door. Her water broke... Frosty was getting ready to leave his post, only there until his replacement, Stone Wall, showed up to watch the royal chambers for the night. After he became friends with the Elements of Harmony, and Captain Armor, he was promoted, and as such, had to watch the princesses. He heard the telltale clopping of hooves as somepony came running towards him. Thinking it was Stone he got up, taking off his helmet, but when he saw Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy turn the corner he froze. "What's going on, is everything okay?!" Frosty said quickly, knowing that the two of them flying all the way to Canterlot in the evening meant something big going on. Rainbow and Fluttershy tried to get their breath back, but before they could say anything a scroll appeared in front of Frosty. It opened up and Frosty understood what was going on from the three words on it... PONYVILLE HOSPITAL NOW! As luck would have it, Stone Wall turned the corner a second later, looking at the three Pegasi in confusion. "What's going on?" Stone asked, his voice getting abnormally high as he noticed that the two mares were none other than Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Frosty threw the scroll at Stone Wall before throwing his armor to the ground and then taking off out the nearest window. Rainbow and Fluttershy groaned as they watched him fly away, even Rainbow's wings hurting from the flight from Ponyville. Stone Wall walked over and, as smooth as he could... "Can I assist you two beautiful mares" "Where's Pinkie?!" Frosty shouted as he flew through the front doors of the Ponyville hospital. Everypony in the waiting room looked at him in confusion, a small foal crying because of the sudden noise. Silence reigned until somepony coughed, getting everypony's attention. The elderly Unicorn slowly waved at everypony, the attention quickly being taken off him as Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack came bounding down the hallway. "How did you get here so fast?!" Twilight asked quickly, looking at Frosty's wings, which looked as if he had gone years without preening them. "Flew really fast, didn't stop, wings hurt..." Frosty said as his eyes slowly shut, the effects of flying faster than normal taking their toll on him as he collapsed to the ground. When his jaw hit the cold linoleum floor he snapped back up to attention, looking around quickly before his eyes settled on the three mares that he knew. "Where is she?" Frosty asked, his focus now entirely on Pinkie's safety. The three mares quickly turned around, running towards Pinkie's room, where she was still giving birth to her foal. Frosty quickly opened the door, making his way to her side despite the arguments from the doctors in the room. "Pinkie, are you okay?" Frosty asked worriedly as he grabbed Pinkie's hoof, immediately regretting his decision. She quickly squeezed his hoof tight, making him yelp in pain as the doctor performing the birthing looked over Pinkie's belly. He mouthed the word contractions, and Frosty knew what was going on. He steeled himself for the oncoming onslaught of pain as Pinkie gritted her teeth, his hoof very soon after getting crushed as if all of Equestria was on it. "Push!" "Ow!" "Push!" "OW!" "PUSH!" "OW!" "PU-" "DON'T SAY IT, JUST DO- OH CELESTIA, WHY?" For the rest of the night Frost cried out in pain, his own cries beating out Pinkie's shouts of pain as she crushed his hoof. As the birthing continued you could hear Frosty starting to talk to himself, going over all the things he wished he could have done with his life, asking for forgiveness from Celestia and Luna, and even praying to Discord for the pain to end. After he ran out of things to say he turned to a nearby nurse, his eyes wide as he asked... "Is it possible for a stallion to die when his mare is giving birth?"
Chapter 9: Surprise!Chapter 9: Surprise! "Congratulations, it's a filly!" the doctor said happily as one of the nurses passed him the newborn foal. Frost looked up slowly, his eyes filled with tears. "Is it over?" he asked pitifully, looking at the doctor with pleading eyes. "Yes, it's over" the Doctor said as he handed the pearly white foal to Frost, who stared at it stupidly, as if he didn't know what it was. He continued to stare at the foal until Pinkie put a hoof on his shoulder, making him turn quickly. "Can I see her?" Pinkie asked sweetly, and Frost happily obliged. Pinkie cooed as the foal was placed in her arms, her motherly love almost strong enough for everyone in the room to feel it. The foal started to cry, but Pinkie quickly hushed her with a kiss on the forehead. "She's so pretty..." Pinkie said quietly as she watched her foal roll about in her arms. Frost leaned in to get a better look at the baby, but got a kick to the snout instead. "Ow!" Frost yelped as he jump back from the foal, "She's got great legs too!" "Yeah, and look, she has a blue streak in her mane" Pinkie said, turning the foal so that Frost could get a look without being kicked in the face again. When he looked closely he could see a small blue streak running through the foal's bright yellow mane. "Wow..." Frost said slowly as he looked closer at the young foal, who was still happily rolling around, "She has lots of energy, just like her mother...". Pinkie smiled and looked up at Frost, reaching a free hoof out to touch the side of his head. He looked at her and smiled before leaning in to place a kiss on her lips, making the entire hospital staff melt from the adorableness of the situation. "You two will make great parents" one of the nurses said before leaving the room, but not before letting out one last, "Daw...". The rest of the staff quickly left the room, leaving Frost and Pinkie alone with the foal. "Parents, huh?" Pinkie said, her hair deflating a slight bit as she thought about what had brought this foal to her. She watched the foal sadly until Frost put a hoof on her shoulder, making her look at him instead. "I'd be honored if you let me raise this filly with you" Frost said sincerely, a tiny smile on his lips. Pinkie looked at him for a moment before smiling back, her eyes filling with tears as she pulled Frost into a hug. She cried into her shoulder as he hugged her tighter, and the foal even moved around slightly, hugging Frost's leg. They broke apart slightly, just enough so they could look into each other eyes. "I love you cupcake" Frost said, smiling as the foal tried to grab his wings from Pinkie's lap. Pinkie looked down at the foal before looking back up at Frost. "And I love you, muffin" Pinkie said sweetly as she moved forwards for a kiss. They embraced again for a moment, but the sound of the door to their room opening made them break apart. When they looked over they saw the doctor standing in the doorway, smiling at them with a clipboard suspended in the air by his magic. "Have you two decided on a name for the young foal?" the doctor asked, still smiling as the two of them looked at each worriedly. They hadn't ever thought of names, but when Pinkie suddenly smiled at the doctor Frost knew she had found a name she liked. "Surprise" Pinkie said confidently. When the foal started laughing everypony knew that it was the perfect name for her, so the doctor quickly wrote it down before walking over. "Well then, Surprise, welcome to Equestria" "Surprise come inside, it's raining!" "Coming dad!" Surprise yelled back to the blueish white Pegasus standing in the front door of her house. It was late in the day, and the Ponyville weather team had brought in the storm for the week. Sadly it got a little out of control and the storm had started to become too much for them to handle, so everypony was being advised to stay indoors for the evening. As Surprise went inside her house she saw her dad grabbing his boots from the closet. "Where are you going dad?" Surprise asked, worried that he was thinking about going out in the storm. "I have to go get your mother, she's stuck at Sugar Cube Corner" her dad said before giving her a kiss on the forehead, "Dinner's on the table, I'll be back in a bit" "Bye dad" Surprise said as her father took off from their front steps, leaving Surprise all by herself. At first, she was going to go raid the cookie jar, but when she saw the soup sitting on the table, waiting for her, well, her plans changed rather fast. She loves it when her dad makes her soup especially if it's... "Tomato!" Surprise shouted as she ran to the table, ready to eat the delicious red contents of the bowl. Within minutes the bowl was empty and Surprise was looking around for more. Despite her best efforts though, no more could be found. He must have hidden it so I wouldn't eat it all, Surprise thought as she crossed her legs angrily before making her way to her room. "Hello there" a mysterious voice said from inside the room, making Surprise jump slightly. "Hi Pinkamena" Surprise said calmly after looking at the source of the voice. It was her mothers old mirror, which had been given to her when she turned four. Although Pinkamena seemed real to Surprise, it was as if nopony else could see her, and oddly enough she looked just like her mother... "How are you today?" Pinkamena asked, looking at Surprise cheerfully. "I'm okay, but it's raining so I'm kinda sad" Surprise replied, looking at the floor sadly as Pinkamena chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm here for you if you need me" Pinkamena said sweetly, smiling at Surprise through the mirror. Surprise was about to talk to Pinkamena for a little bit longer, but her door opened, standing on the other side was her mother and father, smiling at her happily. "Talking to Pinkamena again dear?" her mom asked, looking into the mirror. For a second Surprise could have sworn she saw her mother and Pinkamena smile at each other, but after she blinked Pinkamena was gone, and her mom was looking at her happily. "Hi mom" Surprise said, pulling her mother into a hug. They hugged for a few more seconds before her mom pulled away, smiling happily. "Well, me and your father need to go dry ourselves off, you have fun with Pinkamena in here" her mom said, turning around to walk out of the room with her husband. As they shut the door Pinkamena came back in the mirror, so her and Surprise started to play again. They weren't really playing, it was more of a talk that they would have, throwing jokes back and forth, Pinkamena helping Surprise with things she didn't want to tell her parents, and usually, just to pass the time. From the other side of the door her parents could hear everything, and they smiled at each other before walking away. "She's a great imaginary friend, isn't she cupcake?" her dad said, looking back at the door. "The best, muffin" her mom said before planting a kiss on her husband's lips.
