Inside Pinkie's Mind

After a along discussion with Princess Celestia, Twilight and Spike left Canterlot with the book. Spike walked close to Twilight, holding the blue book in his dragon claws.

"Twilight?" Spike asked

"Yes Spike?"

"Um. I was wondering, How long are you going to be gone for when you go inside the mind of Pinkie Pie?"

The purple unicorn thought for a moment and retorted back "Well Spike, it says in the book that in the mind, time is pretty much undetermined because of the electromagnetic brain waves disturb time and space. I may not even come back; that is the real danger. It also didn't help that the book only mentions a entrance into the mind and not an exit. Weird."

Twilight was still questioning what she had read at the castle in Canterlot and did not fully understand.

Spike on the other hand was not taking it to lightly that he may never see his best friend again.

By the time they found their way into Ponyville, it was nearly 5 o'clock. Twilight and Spike managed to get out of the crowded train, then they were off to see Pinkie Pie.

Twilight and Spike finally made it to Sugarcube Corner and met with Pinkie Pie. The pink mare was as exuberant as usual and greeted them accordingly from behind the counter.

"Hiii GUYS!!!!!!!" Pinkie shouted. "Soooo. What can I do for ya? she asked in her usual bubbly tone.

Spike stood silent next to Twilight as Twilight answered back. "Well Pinkie. Were not really here to eat, but we would like to talk when you get some time off."

"Oh. Its about the party isn't it Twi?" Pinkie questioned looking directly at the purple pony and the baby dragon.

"Um. What Party?" Twilight asked politely with a confused look on her face

"This one!!! SURRRPRISE!!!! Pinkie shouted as confetti and balloons rained from the ceiling.  Pinkie danced and bounced around the tables in her own world as customers watched her gesticulated movements as they ate.

Twilight sighed loudly, even though it could not be heard over the loud music shaking the building.  The majority of the confetti covered Twilight and Spike. The two just stared in disbelief as food and silverware found its way on too the floor decorating it with various colorful pastries.

As the room shook from the loud music, Mrs. Cake trotted down the stairs and pulled the plug on the enormous speakers. The music stopped and so did Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie, are you trying to wake the twins?" Mrs Cake stated to Pinkie with a stern look added for effect.

It worked. Pinkie sat on the wood floor without movement, and was in deep thought. She thought for a moment of what just happened and realized that she was in the wrong.

Pinkie apologized for her actions and was back to her normal bubbly self. Pinkie started to clean the premises and found herself swinging from the streamers that hung from the rafters.

Twilight decided that she would help Pinkie clean the room. With her horn shining a light purple, the room was spotless compared to the mess just minutes ago.

Twilight picked the last piece of confetti out of her hair and walked over to Mrs. Cake saying "Do you mind if I borrow Pinkie for a while?"

"No. None in the least. In fact business isn't to busy around this time so she can go for the day."

After the approval Pinkie Pie, Spike, and Twilight headed for the library.

Spike left Pinkie Pie and Twilight alone as they conversed in Twilight's bedroom.

"Hey Pinkie, can I get you anything?" Twilight asked preparing for the night ahead.

"Nope. Thanks though." Pinkie said politely.

Twilight was surprised at how Pinkie was acting just now, and even more surprised at what Pinkie was actually doing. Twilight walked over to Pinkie and asked.

"Um.....Pinkie, what ya got there?" Twilight was now just looking down at Pinkie as the pink mare sat and read.

Twilight moved in closer to see what was in the hoofs of Pinkie and it was in fact the very blue book that Celestia had given to her the day before.

"Hmmm.......Interesting....." Pinkie said aloud to herself and was entertained by the various pictures in the blue covered hard back.

"Pinkie, where exactly did you get that?" Twilight asked with a tone of frustration in her voice.

"Wellllllllll. I dunno." Pinkie said with a sly smile on her face as she played coy to Twilight's questions.

Twilight knew the answer to her question as she notice that the latch on her saddlebag was undone and the bag was lying on the floor next to her bed. Twilight moved the bag out of sight with her magic by placing it in the only closet in her room.

Twilight just shook off what concerns she had over Pinkie looking at the book. "Hey Pinkie. I'm just going to tell you how it is. Okay?" Twilight paused for a moment as she gathered her thoughts before she spoke again.

Pinkie looked up as Twilight began to speak "Um...Well Princess Celestia and I both agree that in the name of science that we would like to examine you. The princess has put me in charge of the task of finding more out about your mental state."

Pinkie seemed kind of excited for the new experience. "Sounds like fun Twi !!!"

"Twilight continued "The task is to find my way into you mind and to uncover anything tat is abnormal compared to other ponies. We are mostly trying to figure out what triggers your Pinkie Sense, and you able to appear almost instantaneously at the most random times and places. Well, that book that you found just so happened to be my guide if I did make it into your head. So Pinkie what do you think?"

Pinkie really had no objections and continued to stay silent while she listened to Twilight.

"There is a lot of danger involved in mind travel, and the princess says that it would not be easy to perform,  even experienced unicorns would have trouble handling a spell like this. The main dangers would be: getting lost, mistaking your mind for reality, bad thoughts, and worst of all....not finding the exit."

Pinkie's mouth gaped open as she thought of her friend being trapped forever inside her head. "Does anypony else know about this?" Pinkie asked with a little sadness in her voice.

Twilight answered back "Nope. Just you, me, Spike and Celestia." Twilight tried to change the mood and said to Pinkie "Whats the worst that could happen...just remember happy thoughts."

Pinkie thought long and hard, and finally came up with the conclusion to let Twilight do the experiment. The answer was yes. She did like to make everypony happy, and what would be a better way to make Twilight happy than a experiment.

The two mares went to bed that night in wonder of what was to come.
