Pinkie Pie gains incredible power to throw a party for the sake of equestria, can she handle it?

Pinkie Pie always keeps her promise no matter what. It's so simple for her to do so. So when Zecora goes to Princess Celestia and asks permission to bring zebras into the everfree forest Celestia goes to Pinkie Pie and personally requests she throws a party to welcome their new friends.
Not only does she get a chance to throw a grand party in the royal castle but for evey pony iin Ponyville? And to top it off she gets to make new friends?
Of course Pinkie Pie accepts. Saddly though every pony knows how hard it is to keep a promise. When she Pinkie Promises to throw the greatest party ever and not over do it she finds that keeping her promise is more difficult then she thought.
But as the Pinkie Pie says "No pony breaks a Pinkie Promise."
Follow Pinkie Pie as she arms herself with party baloons, rubber chickens and the will to keep every promise she makes while struggling to find common ground between her own happiness and the safety of the whole of Equestria.
As said by whatever voice occupies your heads....That's Morgan Freemen in my case...
(Authors note: A little humor, a llittle tragedy, nothing inappropriate by any means. I plan on keeping this PG no matter what. Updates every two weeks and keep an eye out. Chapters are under constent threat of being revised or tweaked at any momient. This is my first fanfic and will probably be my only one. I find is difficult ot get into premade characters heads. So apologies for any mistakes and please. I welcome feedback. )

The Greatest Party Ever? Of All Pony Time?

“PAAAAAARTY!” shouted Pinkie Pie from the head of the group. She bounced her normal pace down the streets of Canterlot with the biggest smile she ever had. The rest of the mane six smiled with her if not for her. This was a big day for the Pink Party Pony.
“Calm down now sugar cube” said Applejack. “I know you’re excited and all but you’re goin to need most of that energy for when the party actually starts.”
“I know but how can I not be excited! All of Ponyville will be here and I already threw a party for every pony there! That means I need to throw a party better then any of them have ever seen!”
Twilight came up beside Pinkie and placed a hoof on her back to get her to stop bouncing, which she found was nearly impossible.
“Yes, we know.” Said Twilight after giving up on the bouncing. “That’s precisely why we think it’s a good idea to remind you of your friends.”
“Of course! I would never forget to invite you guys!”
“Um, Pinkie Pie, I am not sure that’s what she meant.” Came the soft voice of Fluttershy. “What she means is that we’re here to help. None of us could live with ourselves if we let you do all that work alone.”
“Oh don’t worry Fluttershy. This will be just like any other party except a bazillion times better!”
“Oh but this is a dream come true!” exclaimed Rarity “A grand party in the Canterlot castle to welcome hundreds into Equestria. Better yet Pinkie Pie is running the show and even better I will be helping out with the decorations. Every pony will see just how exquisite the party is and they will wonder ‘oh who was it behind this wonderful display?’ and I will appear! I’ll ask ‘Oh these frilly things? It was I but this was all hardly the”
“Rarity!” shouted Applejack and Twilight in unison for the third time.
“Let me remind you that this celebration is for Zecora and the zebra’s that are willing to leave their homeland to settle down in the Everfree forest near Ponyville” said Twilight and with a chuckle from Rainbow Dash, she turned her well-tempered motherly manner on her. “Double for you Rainbow Dash.”
“Huh? What did I do?” She replied rambunctiously
“We all know that the Wonderbolts will be there.” Applejack said. “Remember what happened last time when you tried showing off to the Wonderbolts?”
Their minds all went back to the Grand Galloping Gala and what a fiasco that turned into. They all stopped a moment to laugh before they continued on to the castle.
“Just take it easy Pinkie Pie. Please?” asked the sweet voice of Fluttershy. “For us?”
“Don’t worry girls. I will be alright and with you all by my side, I know we can do anything!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. “I promise not to get to stressed over a party or try to do to much. I also promise that this will be the greatest party ever!”
She was determined to put the best of her efforts into this party, more then she normally did, mind you she always put in her best efforts.
“Pinkie Pie promise?” everyone asked in unison as they came to the castle doors.
Pinkie Pie giggled and turned to her friends.
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Pinkie Pie promised as she covered her eye. She was rewarded with a group hug full of laughter and joy.
“Alright ladies,” said Applejack after a few moments “We got a party to get done.”

But not everything was as well as Pinkie Pie let everyone believe. As she turned back to the castle a sense of doubt replace the determined spirit she just had.
What if she couldn’t do this? What if this was too much?
The giant doors swung open with an audible creep. Her heart sunk and she kept reminding herself of the promise she made. The grand hall was in front of her as the doors slammed against the walls.
Scared?
Truth be told, Pinkie Pie was afraid. Just a little.

Party with Pinkie Pie!

Chapter One

The greatest party ever of all pony time?

“Hello my little ponies.” Celestia said in her regal yet warming voice. “It’s so good to see you here.”
Celestia sat on her throne with Luna by her side. Guards stood at each corner of the room with more guards standing in between those. A group of zebra’s crowded around the two princesses, one of which stood off to the side who many knew by the name of Zecora. As the mane six casually walked up to the throne and bowed, the zebras quieted and watched.
“Princess.” Twilight said standing straight again. She wanted to say more but.
“Every pony, this is Twilight Sparkle. She is my most faithful and promising student I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. Those behind her are Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie.”
They lifted their heads respectively when their name was called. Each gave a warm, welcoming smile to the zebras.
“They are,” she continued “The Elements of Harmony and more importantly, my dear friends, please welcome them.
The small crowd of zebra quickly left the side of the royal sisters and converged on the group. This left Celestia with a relieved look on her face as she now had room to stretch. Luna smiled and chuckled silently at her older sister.
“Pleased to meet you all.” Twilight said holding a hoof out to the zebra who stood in front of her. He towered over Twilight with a puzzled look behind a healthy mane of dreads. For a moment all he did was stare at the hoof until Zecora spoke up.
“It’s a hoof shake, Zekerail, it is a greeting that means ‘I mean well’.”
The zebras, Zekerail’s, demeanor quickly changed as he laughed in a deep booming voice that started and shocked the whole group.
“Why did you not say so? Please forgive the greeting I did not first show!”
Zekerail stood on his two hind legs and picked Twilight up. He was still laughing when he placed Twilight in a bear hug. Jaws were dropped by the mane six and guards all around stifle laughter.
Twilight, being on the receiving end of this, patted him on the back. “Apologies” she wheezed gasping for air “Accepted!”
“I am Zekerail, pleased to meet you Twilight Sparkle.” He said finally halting his laughter and placing Twilight back down.
“Pleased to meet indeed,” said one of the zebras, who of which was on the receiving end of one of Applejack’s ferocious hoof shakes.
“Howdy, we at Ponyville sure are looking forwards to ya’ll settling near us.”
“Um, it’s so nice to meet you.” Fluttershy pressed herself into the middle of the group to hide behind her friends and her mane
Rainbow Dash had found a new friend via means of a staring contest with a little colt zebra.
It was Rarity’s turn as she flipped her hair to the side as she often does and held out a hand to the zebra colt in front of her. It would seem the colt had fallen head over heals for her as he was soon producing flowers, where from was questionable.
The group was all a buzz. New friendships were forged. New intimacy was gained with each hoof shake and surprise hug.
Pinkie Pie had moved herself to the sidelines trying to keep a bit of a distance from the group. She really liked meeting new ponies, she loved talking as everyone new. It was just…
What’s wrong Pinkie Pie? Where is that laughter I so enjoy?
“Oh, I am sorry,” she smiled to herself while staring off into space in the direction of the zebras and the group. “It’s just I have a lot on my mind with at the moment.”
Where’s the carefree attitude, the bouncing, the giggling? Chocolate milk should make you feel so much better.
“Oh I would love some chocolate milk!”
“Huh? We don’t think we have any at hand but we are sure one of the butler’s or maids wouldn’t mind fetching you some.”
She snapped back to reality with Luna standing beside her, a smile on her face.
“Oh Princess!” she jumped a little and bowed.
“Please Pinkie. We are past such formalities. Stand, something seems to be on your mind.”
She opened her mouth ready to pour out her worries when, as if on cue.
“Everyone.” Celestia said over the voice of the meet up. “I have excellent news. The zebra’s will be here a day earlier. All who stand here today are the first of many.”
Everyone cheered, even a few of the guards got into it. Pinkie’ heart sank.
Uh-oh, but that means.
“That’s right every pony, the zebras will be at the castle tonight. Which means that we must have everything ready by the end of the afternoon for the party tonight.”
Will that be enough time?
“Pinkie Pie? Can you come up here?”
“Oh yes ma’am!” she smiled and trotted up to the throne and bowed.
“We have instructed the butlers and maids to begin decorating not but moments before you arrived. Any ideas?”
Pinkie Pie really didn’t need to think about it, the answers were so obvious.
“Rarity and Fluttershy should help, they helped in decorating most of my parties so I am sure they’ll do an absolutely fantastic job.”
“Well naturally. Of course I’ll try not to redecorate everything!” Rarity exclaimed.
“Oh how exciting. Maybe I can see the animals after were done.” Fluttershy said as she fluttered over the group to a waiting butler.
Rarity and Fluttershy were led away to tend to their duties.
“Have fun you guys!” Pinkie Pie called out as they left.
“Next we have Entertainment. We contacted the members of the band who played during the Galloping Gala. Will that be enough?”
“No, duh!” Pinkie Pie said. “We need games to entertain every pony, we need something for the little foals too, a clown or something. We’ll need music other then some slow easy paced waltzie step music to mix it up. We need a dj other then the band. Oh well also need things for adult’s to do.”
Pinkie Pie turned. “I would like Twilight and Rainbow Dash to help with all of that.”
She turned back and was quickly reminded who she was talking to.
You just told the princess ‘duh’. How does that make you feel?
Her heart sank. Not very good but despite that all the princess did was smile and listen.
“Very well then, the band is already on it’s way and the postal service has already picked up their instruments to fly them over. As for this dj,” the princess nodded her head to a few guards who in returned bowed and walked out. “We’ll figure something out.”
“Fantastic, with my expertise and knowledge of the basic child mind, no foal shall go bored.” Twilight said after teleporting from the middle of the group to the door.
“Yea! Once they get how cool I am, they’ll need nothing else!” Rainbow Dash said flying to Pinkie Pie and giving her a hug.
“See you when the parties done Dashie.” Pinkie Pie smiled at the hug from behind. Then the two were off with another butler.
“Now all that’s left is food and drinks. Like before the cooks have just begun cooking, anything you would like to add to the list.”
“Everything!” Pinkie Pie immediately said. “Everything you can think of! Doesn’t matter what just have a whole bunch of different things.”
Zecora chuckled “This is true. While ponies of Ponyville adore sweet brews, many from my home love spicy stew.”
“Oh then Zecora and Applejack should cook! Oh I know they’ll make something for every pony.” Pinkie Pie decided.
“Oh yes ma’am. Livin’ on a farm does that. Oh, heh, pardon me.”
Applejack wiggled her way through the group of zebras to get to the last of butlers at the door. Zecora soon accompanied her after a few words to her friends and away they went.
Well, well, well, looks like you know what you’re doing.
“Pinkie Pie.” Princess Celestia said. “Let me say it is an honor to have you. Thank you so much for the help. I know the Party will be an absolute success. Unfortunately my sister and I have unfinished business to attend to so until matters are finished I leave all of the staff available, the guests and matters tending to the party in your obvious capable hoofs.”
No pressure.
The feeling of determination arose in her. Oh she was ready, she could do this, she could do win. She. Could. Do. This!
What are you doing?
Pinkie Pie snapped out of the chanting she was doing in her head and smiled.
“Don’t worry, you majesty. Everything will go perfectly and nothing can go wrong while I am here. I Pinkie Pie promise”

“Oh this is wrong, this is so very, very wrong.”
Pinkie Pie had just stepped out into the gardens to get away from the chaos. The sun was almost done setting. Most of the zebras had arrived and all they were waiting for was a few stragglers. All of Ponyville had been able to make it as well. Every. Single. One.
Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong, which was everything!
Rarity, who found the butlers and maids had used every color possible to decorate the castle, for the most part, could not decide on what to do. She went on and on about how she should do the decorations until she came to the conclusion that she should do it in zebra colors. Obviously this was black and white and it seemed fine until she started to think the zebras would be insulted. After many ponies, including all of the zebras who arrived over the day, insisted that it was perfectly fine, she finally decided that it simply could not happen. She chose another few colors from the wheel and had JUST begun to put up the new decorations at the last moment. Needless to say Rarity was now running around with the rest of the castle staff to finish.
Fluttershy had disappeared completely. That was it. She waited and waited for Rarity to make up her mind but found herself unable to peel away from the animals. Pinkie Pie assumed she was actually out here somewhere trying to get the animals to love her. She chuckled at the thought of Fluttershy half stuck in a hole trying to win the love of a rabbit.
Twilight Sparkle was in the library researching different ways to conjure a balloon in various sizes and colors. Unfortunately that led to a book about clowns that then led to a book about pies that ultimately sent her to a book entitled ‘An old mares account of Ponyville’ which was actually written by Granny Smith. This of course would have been fine if she had not decided to read all of them from cover to back.
The band had arrived not to long after group had. They helped out the best they could. Then the air service had gotten there with out the instruments. Turns out it was Derpy who had been assigned to this. Why? Every other pony at the time was away and the princesses request could not be ignored.
Derpy explained that it had something to do with a shark, a clown, a cannon and half a muffin. She was also reassured that muffin had in no way been harmed; the clown didn’t make it however. To make things worse Derpy had mistaken the Dj’s turn table as a regular table and spilt her drink over it causing the machine to snap, crackle, pop and explode for some reason.
Pinkie Pie ran down the list in her head. Decorations were still being started. They had no music. Entertainment was still a work in progress. Cooking?
Applejack and Zecora just managed to finish everything they had planed no thanks to the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the dozen of zebra foals who had yet to find their cutie marks. It was another strange occurrence that involved a stove being morphed into the wall by sweetie bell after a spell went hey wire. It wasn’t until they had Big Mac tear the thing out of the wall were they able to continue.
Ha ha ha! Oh my dear, dear Pinkie Pie. Where is that laughter now?
“There’s nothing to laugh about.” She said to herself. “Everyone was counting on me.”
To?
“To greet every pony with a great party! To welcome them to a new home with open arms and cake!”
Seems like a lot of responsibility for one pony. That is so unfair of them.
She frowned. It was a lot of responsibility but when she left home she was determined she could do it. Not until she actually got into the castle did everything seem to spiral downwards. Her eyes became misty as she realized something else.
She had broken not one but two Pinkie promises in one day. She broke down and started to cry. She messed everything up.
Don’t frown my dear, the show must go on and I know just how to do it.
“Huh” she said to herself with a sniffle. She didn’t realize it until now but that wasn’t her own voice in her head.
How far will you go to keep a promise?

The party was just about to begin and the zebras were waiting, many chatting nervously to themselves. They were all so far away from home in a land most them had never seen. They had come to settle down so they could bring more culture to the land of equestria. All thanks to the request Zecora had made and Celestia’s love but for many, this greeting, this party, would be the defining moment. Did these ponies truly want them here? This party would tell all.
“We have to do something, Pinkie Pie trusted that we could do our parts no problem and now because of us there might not be no party at all!” said Twilight.
“It was not just our fault” exclaimed Rarity. “Just most of it.”
“If anyone cares to hear, I, the Great and Powerful Trixie, have an idea that might just work.”
“No one cares, Trixie.” Rainbow Dash said to Trixie who actually seemed hurt.
Music started to play in the background, soft at first.
“Now that ain’t right R.D. We need all the help we can get. “Go ahead Trix, if you think it’ll work, we’ll give it a go.”
“Excellent, first Rainbow Dash take this chicken, then Applejack you take this-“
“Um, does anyone else hear that?” Fluttershy asked.
“Hear what?” asked Applejack.
“What about Scootaloo now?” Said Rainbow Dash trying to keep the group on topic.
“Scoota-who? No, just take this rubber chicken and go with Applejack to”
“What in the hey is that?” Applejack asked looking around.
“What’s what?” asked twilight straining her ears over the voices of the zebras.
The music was steadily getting louder. Rainbow Dash, who had a rubber chicken in her mouth, gave a muffled “huh?”
“Pay attention every pony. Twilight I need you to- WHAT IS THAT!?”
Trixie could hear the music as it played louder then anything else in the castle now. The group turned every which way but didn’t see the source off hoof. It was like some pony had unleashed a grand pianist on the party, leading with a wild and fierce fantasia.
The music slowed after a second then died out completely with the lights. All that was left was a light shinning down on Pinkie Pie at the top of the main rooms stairs.
Pinkie Pie looked down at the figures in the darkness, her breathing heavy, her heart pounding. After that little display of music every pony had quieted and now focused on her. Good, that’s exactly what she wanted. She took in a deep breath and shouted to the world.
“Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you!”
The crowd went into an uproar with excitement as music started to play, this time as a party beat. She stepped down the stairs, stood up on her hind legs and threw her arms out.
“Welcome! Ponyville and future residence! Welcome to Equestria.” The lights cut back on then dimmed down and jaws dropped all around.
“Welcome to the greatest party ever!”
The whole room was almost completely different. The ceiling was covered in many different colored balloons; each one had a small light coming from them. All sorts of decorations now covered the room. Food stretched out along a table near the walls. Confetti fell and bubbles floated through the air. For some reason all the guard’s armors were a mixture of different colors, all of who seemed very confused at the sudden change in clothing.
There you go Pinkie! It’s time to party!

How do you feel about flash sequences? Lots and lots of flash sequences?

In the castle of Canterlot a party was coming to an end. At the center of this party Pinkie Pie danced with zebras and ponies of all kinds. Finally after five hours of nonstop dancing, jumping, playing and long speeches the last song ended with one last giant blast. The room flared with pink lights and the guests cheered and clapped their hooves together. Pink Pie stood on her hind legs in the middle of the room with her arms stretched out. She breathed heavily and shouted one last time.
“W-Welcome to E-Equestria!”
Looking up at the ceiling with a smile she tried to keep her focus straight but after all that, she felt dizzier then before. The room spun around her as she begun to fall backwards. Things slowed down as she pulled one more feat. The many, many balloons along the ceiling exploded into bright colors, confetti and bubbles and the room gave one last uproar of laughter, cheering and applause. The room began to black out as most of her body was now free falling just a few feet off the ground. She felt the wind rush past her. Still she could not help but smile.
Hahaha. Well done, Pinkie Pie. Well done. That was the greatest party I have ever seen any pony throw. Saddly every show must come to an end, wouldn’t you agree?
She smiled and let out a weak laugh before the darkness over took her.

“Gotcha!” Cried Rainbow Dash who moved through the crowd with lightning speed. She leapt into the air, spun and slid underneath Pinkie just in time. Pinkie’s head landed on her belly. The room gave a collective gasp for the pink party pony.
“Pinkie!? Say something!” Rainbow laid there with Pinkie, shaking her with as much concern as she could muster.
A few moments passed when the pink pony finally gave a very audible snore sending every pony into an uproar of laughter. The rest of her friends plus one great and powerful Trixie soon joined Rainbow Dash.
“Looks like she’s plum tuckered out.” Said Applejack.
“Yea, she looks so peaceful.” Commented Fluttershy.
Twilight and Rarity looked at each other. They had seen it while Applejack and Fluttershy didn’t. Trixie stepped up and gave the pink party pony a quick look over.
“Obviously she just partied to hard. Most impressive, this coming from one so great as I.”
“No one cares about what you have to say, Trixie.” Rainbow Dash venomously replied.
Trixie opened her mouth to rebuttal however she just stared at Rainbow Dash. The crowd continued on with its laughing and cheering. New found friends chatted among themselves, most still lost in the party.
Trixie looked like she was about to cry through her well wore mask of determination and pride. Trixie turned, said something under breath and walked away.
“Now of all the things, R.D., That had to be the most down right meanest thing I have ever seen you do.” Applejack said stamping the ground with a hoof angrily. “You know good and well she has done nothing but apologies for what happened at Ponyville and tried to make up for what she did all night. I had my doubts at first to but even I could see that she is tryin to find peaceful ground with all the pony folk”
Rainbow Dash heard her. Even a part of her agreed with A.J. but as she lifted Pinkie Pie off the ground and balanced her on her back she just became angrier.
“I don’t want her stupid apologies!” She shouted. This would have caused a scene if not for the already loud crowd. Rainbow Dash stomped off with Pinkie Pie nestled between her wings.
“Attention. Attention every pony.” Came Luna’s voice “My sister would like to close this party with one last announcement. Sister?”
Princess Celestia stood tall in front of the crowd.
“Thank you all for coming, though I had very little to do with any of this. This was all the work of the many ponies from Ponyville. All of this was done to welcome new friends and new experience. So every pony, well done.”
Celestia clopped her hooves together in a single applause. The crowd, not used to seeing the princess do such a thing, stood with mouths wide open.
“Please stay the night with us here at the castle. There will plenty of beds for everyone. There will be breakfast in the morning to prepare you for the trip back to Ponyville.”
Princess Luna moved away from the crowd and her sister. She had enjoyed the party best she could but something had felt off about the whole night. While most of the ponies danced the night away she felt to uneasy to mingle much with the guests. Still she smiled heading to the punch bowl. She levitated the scoop of punch to her mouth and took a sip.
It really didn’t make any since.
Ha ha ha! What fun is there in making sense?
Luna’s eyes shot wide open as she spat out a mouthful of punch. Her heart dropped as it began to race. The crowd gave one last applause to her sister before they started to head up the stairs. Her eyes scanned the room.
Where? Where did it come from?
“Uh Princess we need to talk, now”
The Princess turned her head to a punch soaked Twilight Sparkle. Twilight had the most serious face. She had a sinking feeling she wasn’t going to like this.

Pinkie Pie pried her eyes open to the familiar settings of her room. She strained her ears to the sound of quiet chatter. She lifted her body with a groan as every muscle in her body ached. Taking in a deep breath she smelled the coffee pouring in from the kitchen.
Turn off the lights, I was sleeping.
She sat there a few moments trying to regain some thoughts. Would be easier if not for the blaring headache.
“Is this normal?” she muttered to herself.
It’s what happens when you do too much.
Her mind wondered back to the party for a moment and smiled. She threw her hooves into the air and laughed. Falling back into her bed she went into a giggle fit as her thoughts brought forth fantastic memories of the party.
“Oh remember when Trixie?”
And she used the rubber chicken?
“Then Rainbow Dash?”
“What is going on in here?” Rarity ran into the room with a concerned look on her face, one of which quickly turned into confusion.
Pinkie Pie rolled out of her bed.
“We did it, we did it!” she cheered to herself bouncing around the room. She completely forgot about her aches as she bounced out the room and down the stairs.
Rarity followed closely behind.
“Um, hun. I need to talk to.”
“Oh it was so awesome! I hope every pony enjoyed it. Did every pony enjoy it, Rarity?”
“Yes but I have something important to”
“Oh I can’t wait for the next party! There must be a party to throw today, I should throw one now. Rarity do you have a reason to have a party?”
Pinkie Pie bounced into her kitchen. Her head throbbed painfully causing her to stop in her tracks.

How far will you go to keep a promise?
Pinkie Pie wiped her eyes with her arm. She didn’t even need to think about it.
“As far as I have to go,” she answered the voice with complete determination. She turned her head every way to find the voice. “Where are you? Who are you?”
Well that’s obvious. Pinkie Pie, I am a friend.
Out of the darkness of the garden a pair of yellow and red eyes opened. They stared at Pinkie Pie with such cold lust. Pinkie Pie, not having much to fear, stared back still more concerned for the party
We are the same Pinkie Pie. You love parties and I adore Chaos!
A fanged mouth appeared above the eyes. The mouth opened but no noise came from it. It’s voice scratched like nails across a chalkboard. It enveloped her like a warm blanket that weighed a ton.
Parties are just a form of chaos.

“Are you ok? Pinkie Pie?”
Pinkie Pie smiled and closed her eyes. “Of course silly. Where was I?”
Pinkie Pie opened her eyes and her world got a lot darker.
Sitting at her table, each with a fresh cup of coffee, were two guards, one Twilight Sparkle and two extremely royal sisters.
“You were going to let me try to explain things to you before you wondered into the kitchen. Something of which we both failed at.”
Celestia nodded to the two guards who stood up and moved to the door. With a free seat open.
Uh-oh.
“Pinkie Pie, will you please join us?” asked Celestia.
It’s a trap!
Pinkies head throbbed painfully. She smiled however and bounced right into a spare chair.
“Hello everyone! What brings you here? Can I get you anything? Oh is it another party? I can always throw more parties!” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully.
“Actually Pinkie were hear to see how you are doing.” Said Twilight with a smile. “You’ve been asleep for almost a week.”
“A week?” Pinkie Pies mouth dropped in disbelief. “But- I- How?”
“We were actually hoping you could tell us. You passed out at the party. Did anything strange happen to you to cause you to do that?” Twilight and Celestia looked very concerned. Luna looked determined.
Her head gave another massive throb.

“No way!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie to the draconequus. “I know my friends will,”
Your friends are a bust! The party is over Pinkie Pie. Unless you take my offer everything will be ruined. The Zebras will go home, Zecora will most likely hate you, you will fail your friends and disgrace Ponyville. So how about it Cupcake? Take my power and throw your parties, keep your promise.
“Alright, Discord. You’re right. I accept.”
A grin slithered onto his face.
Before we do this I have one more thing.
Of course he would.
“What is it?”
Pinkie Promise to keep all of this a secret. Me. What happened here. Your new abilities. Everything. Keep it all to yourself.
Her heart sank. This was the second thing she hated most, keeping secrets. She heard the voices in the castle grow louder.
Seems the last of the guests are here. Tik-tok, Pinkie Pie. What’s it going to be?
Pinkie began to cry as she marked an imaginary cross over her chest.
“Cross my heart and hope to fly.” She paused and gulped. “Stick a cupcake in my eye. I promise.”

“Pinkie Pie? Are you ok?”
Pinkie Pie never lost her smile. Her gaze never faltered.
“Oh nothing happened. My friends did their best and I threw the greatest party ever.”
She rested the side of her head on her hoof and smiled at them.
“Just like I promised.”

Party With Pinkie Pie!

Chapter Two:

Phenomenal Cosmic Powers!

Iddy Bitty Equestria...

Over the next week Pinkie Pie rested by request from the royal sisters. No parties, just lots of rest and lots of care from various ponies. While not feeling adamant about not throwing parties, or doing many of the activities she was used to doing, at the end of the week she would admit she needed it.
“So what have I missed, Twilight? I was asleep for almost a whole week, wow I have never slept that long. I must have been partied out. Those are words I thought I would never say.”
Pinkie Pie bounced slowly beside Twilight. Looking around not much had changed. Besides for the new zebras walking around things were the same.
“Wow, good question. Let me think.” Twilight placed a hoof to her chin. “The zebras just finished putting up a few homes right on the edge of the Everfree forest. With Ponyvilles help their new town will be ready in no time.”
Twilight sounded determined and excited.
“Uh-oh, prepare yourself Pinkie Pie.” Twilight warned stepping off the streets and standing to the side.
“Huh?” Was all Pinkie Pie managed to get out before she was swarmed by dozens of foals wearing red capes with blue shields. They all leaped on her shouting and giggling. Their small bodies not enough to budge her.
“Cutie Mark Crusaders Party Throwers! Yay!”
Applebloom emerged from the group.
“Yer finally awake Pinkie! We were all really worried about you.” She said.
“I’m okie dokie lokie. Just had to take a long, long nap was all.”
“Well now that yer awake you can help us get our cutie marks!”
“Let me stop you there, Crusaders. Pinkie Pie has a lot to do right now. You should come back later.” Twilight intervened.
There was a collective ‘awwwwww’ from the children but after a few goodbyes and hugs they were off like a tempest of adorable and overly hyper foals.
“As you can see the children are doing just fine. They all loved the party and have been begging us to get you up to throw another one for them. We had to get them out of your house a couple of times.” Twilight continued her walk down Ponyvilles streets with Pinkie bouncing lightly beside.
“Trixie has been a wonder with the children. Turns out she is actually really good with them even if she would never admit it.”
“Trixie is back in Ponyville? Oh she needs a party!”
“Actually I think she is looking for the quiet life right now. Most ponies still haven’t forgotten what happened when she was last here but I think all have forgiven her. All except Rainbow Dash that is.”
“What’s wrong with Dashie?”
“We were hoping you could tell us. Dash hasn’t been the same lately, she’s been more protective, less talkative, and she’s been”
BOOOM!
Rainbows danced across the sky as Pinkie jumped and looked up. Rainbow Dash could be seen in front of the beautiful display. She streaked across the sky as the sonic rainboom propelled her forward.
Krak-krack-BOOM!
More rainbows danced across the sky as the ground under their feet actually shook. The glass windows of the shops reverberated back and forth.
Pinkie gave Twilight a worried look who replied “She’s been at this for day now. She hasn’t stopped and has gotten a lot of ponies worried for her health if not for the safety of the towns. They actually had to tell her to move away from Cloudsdale when she practiced.”
“She needs a party!” Pinkie exclaimed with her normal cheerful solution.
“She needs something alright. A good talking to honestly but she won’t sit down a moment to hear us out.” Applejack walked up with her normal cart of goods. “Pinkie?”
“Hey A.J.” Pinkie said finding herself on the receiving end of a tight hug.
“Finally decided to get out of bed I see! Good gracious girl I thought you would never wake up. Don’t scare me like that.”
“Sorry Applejack.” She laughed nervously as the hug parted. “How are you? Wanna party?”’
“Well actually Pinkie.” Twilight interrupted.

Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong but Rainbow Dash couldn’t put her finger on it. She knew she was being foolish but she couldn’t help herself. She knew something was wrong and sitting around playing with her mane was not going to help anything.
She was exhausted. It was like nails on a chalkboard, this feeling. It ran down her neck, down her back, through her wings, all the way to her legs. She hated it so much. It kept her from sleeping the last few nights and out doing this, whatever this was.
She did a barrel roll to the left, glided under a cloud for a moment before she sent herself soaring upwards.
Failed…
She banked right and looked down at Ponyville.
Failed Ponyville…Cloudsdale…
She bit her bottom lip and beat her wings faster.
You’re a failure, Rainbow Dash…To your friends…To the Wonderbolts…To all of Equestria.
Why? Because she couldn’t get over the fact the Trixie was living in Ponyville?
She flipped upside down and let herself free fall through the clouds for a moment.
You’re weak…Uncaring…Foolish…Undeserving of the elements…
She flipped herself up right, caught the wind and dived. She had to get rid of this feeling.
The wind rushed past her, whistling in her ears. Still.
Sad…
The barrier appeared and she bit her lip again. Just a few more seconds and she would break it.
Pathetic…
It began to cone around her as she beat her wings with every ounce of energy she had. Her body stretched giving the sure sign that within the next second she would-
Do a barrel roll!
Her sudden spin gave her just the speed she needed to break the sound barrier and create her sonic rainboom. The sky became a torrent of rainbows and clouds behind her.
Three days with no sleep or food, however, tends to disagree with the pony body.
Mid ways through the roll her vision faltered and her body became limp. Darkness over took her and the world slipped away from her grasp leaving her to plummet towards Ponyville like a comet.
Thank you, Rainbow Dash. Cause of you I will be free.

“Wait what!?” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. If her head weren’t already hurting she would have screamed. “What do you mean? Celestia is ordering me to not throw parties!? You might as well take Applejacks farm away or your books, Twilight.”
“Requested, Pinkie. She requested you take a week to rest is all. You just woke up after a week sleeping.” Twilight said with wisdom in her voice. “You know it will not hurt you to take another one just to make sure you’re alright and let you get back to your normal activities.”
“But parties are my normal activities-”
BOOOOOM!
The group, as well as all of Ponyville, jumped and looked up at the sonic rainboom. Glass shattered all around them and the ground shook. Pinkie Pie could feel the pressure of the beautiful display slam into her.
“Gosh darn it, R.D. What are…are… What?” Applejack fumbled with her words as she looked at where Rainbow Dash supposed to be. Instead every pony saw a body fall like a rag doll.
Screams of panic and horror filled the air as Applejack ran to the point Rainbow Dash was falling to.
Twilight, who was soon joined by Rarity and Fluttershy, moved to clear the spot of ponies and zebras. Pinkie Pie could only sit there, frozen to the spot.
“Dashie?”
You can save her.
“I can use your power.”
Exactly. Create a giant pie to break her fall or have her placed inside a giant rubber chicken so she’ll bounce around like a tennis ball. It will be hilarious.
She could but what about her pinkie promise to Discord?
It’s ok, you can break it. *sniff* My feelings mean nothing compared to the well being of a friend.
Rainbow Dash was a lot closer then she was before. Pinkie Pie could easily keep her promise by just slowing down Dashie and placing her gently in Applejacks arms.
Your friends seem to be not all there at the moment.
Pinkie turned her gaze to her friends. They were standing there like statues, frozen and unmoving. No pony noticed as their attention was firmly fixed on Rainbow who only had a few seconds left.
No time to think about the consequences Pinkie Pie. Save her!
She reached out with her mind and started to do something. Anything. She only had time to act on instinct.
A purple blur flashed through the air, jumping up the side of the town hall. Leaping off the top of the building the figure flipped, caught Rainbow Dash, adjusted to the sudden gain in momentum landed on one back hoof and came to a skidding halt in front of Pinkie Pie.
WHAT!?
Pinkie’s head pounded with pain as her body shook.
“It’s MareDoWell!” Many ponies cried out as the purple hero placed Rainbow on the ground.
Pinkie Pie stumbled forward as an enraged Discord yelled in her head. This didn’t make any since. She was MareDoWell. Her friends were MareDoWell. This? Who was this?
She tripped with her next step finding herself caught by the hero who laid her gently beside Rainbow Dash.
MareDoWell leaped onto a small house with a single bound, gave a heroic pose and bounded away leaving the crowd cheering. The world became hazy and spun as Discords yelling became a loud ring in her ears.
“Pinkie Pie! Rainbow Dash!” Twilight and the rest of the group encircled the two. Pinkie reached a hoof towards her friends as she attempted to life herself up and then she was out.

Princess Luna stared at the statue as she had done every night since her return. The moon was high and the air cool. She would admit that this was not the way anyone, let alone a princess, should spend their spare time.
She couldn’t help it. Deep down she had a hatred for Discord she was sure her sister would fear. It was because of him she.
“It’s all your fault. If I hadn’t have listened to you.” She narrowed her eyes mentally destroying the statue. She hated having this thing out here. She thought it belonged in a dungeon or at the bottom of a lake. Better yet if given the chance she would happily toss it off a cliff somewhere.
She frowned. Her sister thought it better to have him in the gardens as an example.
“You.” Her voice poured with venom. “I left you in the past. We left you in the past and you came back.If you are planning something I will stop you. I will not let you do to another pony what you did to me, least of all Pinkie Pie. Being turned into stone will be the least of your problems when I am done. Do you hear me?”
The world was quiet as she clenched her teeth.
“Do you hear us!?” she shouted as hard as she could.
Thankfully her personal guards kept this area closed until she was finished.
Her breath was heavy, her muscles tense. Her horn glowed and her wings stretched out. She lifted the statue with her magic. She flew into the night sky carrying Discords statue. She flew straight up as fast as she could and when she stopped the castle wasn’t even in view. She could see all of Equestria and the far off lands.
All she had to do was toss the thing and it would be gone forever. It would probably land on the moon if she aimed it right. She brought the statue to her hooves and judged it. Up so high she was weightless. It would be so easy all it took was a little push.
She gritted her teeth and looked into its eyes. Then she cried and held onto the statue.
Luna, one of the most powerful ponies in all of Equestria, a pony of royalty and a source of admiration to many, cried as she floated under the moon with a being she once called friend.

After the first week the days began to blend for Pinkie Pie. The moment the royal doctor and Celestia both gave the nod Pinkie Pie began her parties again. First it was just a “cause we can” party as Pinkie had put it. It was nothing as spectacular as the welcome party for the zebras but it was every bit as meaningful.
When ponies and zebras caught wind of the little party many flocked her house asking when and where. Fortunately it was then and there. This led to a huge party with Pinkie’s house in the smack middle. The party started small with its normal cake, music, games and a few gifts which left many asking where Pinkie them from. The party quickly erupted onto the streets that swallowed much of Ponyville.
Many shops closed down to join in, construction workers halted their building to grab their grills to have a ‘dan-d-que’, even the mayor came out in a swimsuit and a pair of shades to relax in the many pools that appeared.
Trixie and Vinyl Scratch came forth to provide entertainment and as the sunset they worked together with music and magic to create what may have been the first Ponyville rave party.
Throughout the party many unexplainable things happened. Like when the clouds rained confetti or when lights floated over the town at night. The random tables of food were hard to explain but no one was going to complain about that.
Many thoughts were given on these matters but in the end every pony just shrugged and danced.
This was just the first of many parties. At first a party a day was enough but Pinkie quickly adjusted. She began to throw two or more parties in a day for whatever reason she could find. Birthday? Party time! Passed a grade? Party time! Finished a project? Party time! Lost your first tooth? Party time! Found Pinkie’s rubber chicken?
Party time!
As weeks turned into months she learned to throw multiple parties at the same time, seemingly having the ability to be in many places at once if she truly desired so. Every one of the parties started for simple reason but quickly grew into huge parties that took hours to finish.
Every pony loved a Pinkie party and every pony loved Pinkie Pie. She always seemed well rested, energized and ready for more. Never was she sad or lonely. Never did she wear a frown on her face. She had the perfect life as far as she was concerned.
That is until the day came that no pony wanted a Pinkie party…

An Ode to the Friends we Lose

~Beep--Beep--Beep~
Pinkie Pie groaned as she forced her eyes open. She had dozed off again. Taking a hoof she rubbed her face and looked around. Where had she dozed off this time?
~Beep--Beep--Beep~
Depression suddenly washed over her. She felt so ashamed for forgetting. She stared at Rainbow Dash. She seemed so peaceful laying there in the hospital bed but hated seeing her attached to all the machines though.
~Beep--Beep--Beep~
Pinkie teared as she placed her head on Rainbow Dash's chest. She silently cried focusing on the cyan pegasus heartbeats. She found peace and comfort in this small act.
~Beep--Beep--Beep~
It had been over a month since Dashie had her accident. Pinkie placed a hoof on one of Dash's wings. Feeling her feathers and fur brought her happiness. She was warm to the touch but for some reason it was like she wasn't there at all.
~Beep--Beep--Beep~
It was all her fault.
Beep!
There must have been something she could have done for her best friend.
Beep!
She has to do something for her best frie-
BEEP!
Shut that thing up!
Instantly she looked at the machine. Her head throbed with pain as the machine lifted and collapsed in on itself before being launched into the wall. She breathed heavily holding on to her friend. Looking she saw the machines only porpuse was to moniter Dash's heartbeats.
With this bit of reliefe she broke down and buried her head into her hooves.
"Please wake up. Please wake up Rainbow Dash. I don't know if I can do this anymore. I need you here."
Voices came from outside the room. Pinkie Pie looked at the door handle. She watched it turn white hot and melt to the point where it wouldn't open. No doubt they were coming to check out the noise and investigate why their machine stopped.
She put her ear back to her friends heart.
Don't be so sad Pinkie Pie, you still have me.

Party with Pinkie Pie

An Ode to the Friends we Lose

She felt sad for Pinkie Pie.
Turns out having the powers of a god can't bring you happiness. Watching from the top of a nearby building she watched as Pinkie poured out her heart to her comatoesed friend. She would give anything to go down there and give the pink party pony a hug.
That's what friends did right?
She ran her assumptions through her head again as she did every hour.
Pinkie Pie somehow came into contact with Discord. Discord's statue however is still in the Canterlot castle gardens. That would make no sense but if you applied Starswirls the Beardeds theory of advance teloportation via means of direct to indirect focus points of magical bounds to her friends theory of greatly sharpened element focus points it makes perfect sence that Discord, god of disharmony and chaos, would be able to leave his stone prison into another, more mobile, prison. That prison being Pinkie Pie, party pony of the Element of Laughter.
Suddenly she had a head ache. She doubt it would have worked with any of the other elements. Laughter could be a form of harmony or disharmony, depending on how it was used. Laughter was joy and joy comes in all shapes and sizes. Ironicly all the laughing Pinkie had been doing these days was fake chuckles.
She wondered if Pinkie Pie was even having fun throwing those parties anymore.
That being said the only way for Discord to leave the direct point, a stone prison created by the combined force of all the elements, to the more indirect point, Pinkie Pie who was a double egded sword of harmony and disharmony, was if Pinkie Pie let him in. Discord could not enter another being without them willingly allow it.
Does this mean she is the enemy? No, that just can't be true. Pinkie is a loving and caring pony who wants nothing more then to see ponies smile. That and throw parties. Discord was a trecherous snake that deceived and pulled tricks for his own amusement. He thinks of no one but himself and couldn't care less about the consequences of his action.
Realisation struck her like a giant rock. Of course, the grand party was the perfect time. Pinkie was having a hard time getting things together for the zebras welcoming party. That would explain many of the strange events of that party as well as every party afterwards. He could have tricked the pirl girl.
This gave way to her next thought.
She narrowed her eyes and moved her head to the side to better look into the room. Pinkie had disappeared from the Rainbow Dash's room and the doctors were looking at the machine with confused and stumped expressions.
The things she had seen Pinkie do with her new found god like magic was amazing. Twilight was reading a book and had gone to get a drink of water. No more then two minutes later, when she returned, Pinkie had decked the whole of the library with the complete party suite. The ponies and zebras quickly flocked to the reluctant unicorns house to participate.
She had watched from afar as Pinkie created things out of thin air. While mostly party balloons, streamers, food and drinks, Pinkie had effortlessly created a pair of ice skates from ice to skate on the lake she had just froze over.
Pinkie even learned how to fly, which she learned she enjoyed doing when not partying.
Lightning cracked through the night sky. She looked up to the now common storm. This rain that had begun to pour a month ago. Was this also Pinkie's doing?
That was it, she was tired. Discord was winning and Rainbow Dash was his first victory. She smiled to herself as she found satisfaction though. She knew how he escaped and this time she was going to stop him. She turned to leave, she needed to figure this out and sitting in the freezing rain was not going to help her. Besides her companions were going to need to know about this.
But why start with Rainbow Dash? Unless...
Suddenly a scream broke out over the rain. She turned her head as thunder overwhelmed the cry. She ran to the edge of the building. From up here she had a decent layout of the town but the rain. She couldn't see that far off without some sort of light.
"Somebody help me!"
It was a filly, a foal by the tone, the thumping of the rain made it difficult to tell. She strained her eyes and hoped the lightning would reveal the cause.
Flash!
Nothing.
Crack Crack Boom! Flash! Flash!
Nothing! This was nearly impossible!
Then a glimour of hope. The lights of a two story house flashed on not to far away. A block or so away. More lights flashed on around the house.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
With all the lights the cause finally revealed itself. A little filly was hanging from the roof of the two story building. She took a moment to think, to let her eyes wonder on the house and the surroundings. Taking strides back she let the moment overwhelm her. She felt the cold rain crash down on her. She felt the howling wind push her, trying to move her in every direction. She kciked at the ground with her front whoof.
"Help me daddy!"
She sprinted to the edge as fast as she could. She kicked off the edge of the building and launched herself into the air. The wind caught her and she felt herself being thrown.
It was a gamble that had paid off as she was blown into the direction of the house. From there she could see a colt crawling down the roof to get the little filly.
"Hold on Silver! Hold on."
Logic completely left her mind as she twisted her body. She needed something to break her fall and in this case the ground wasn't the best possibility. She did what she has always done in these situations.
Let a little luck and alot of skill sort it out.
She free fell for a moment before landing on the roof of a three story building. The shingles broke under her weight as she crashed onto her side. Using the momentum she fliped and balanced herself as she slid down the roof.
Just one street away, she thought.
She lept off the edge and grabbed onto the gutter system of another houses cornor. Swinging herself around into an alley way she launched herself down and gasped as she landed hard on all four whooves. Something definatly snapped.
"Just focus on daddy, I've almos- NOOO!"
MareDoWell charged down into the street and did a leap of faith with her front whooves out. She hit the ground and slid letting her back break the fillies fall.
It took just a moment for her to go from a satisfactory smile to a frown as she found she had misjudged the jump entirely. Lucky though the wall of the house she was about to come intimately close with had nothing to say on the matter. The only thing MareDoWell had to say about it was the fact that at least she saved the day.
Thunk!

............................................................................................................................

Fluttershy was having a bad week. This was horrible, just terrible actually. She flew all over her house taking care of the many, many animals she had brought in to shelter from the rain.
They need you
Everything from a manticore to a timber wolf was crammed into her home. She had given as much space as she possibly could. She even orginized things so she could have the max amount of room.
They all need you
They all needed food and water, and while theres was an over abundence of water she was out of food. She herself hadn't eaten, or even slept for that matter, in days.
Wait, what day was it?
Can't keep this up.
Fluttershy flew over to her calender and stared at it with baggy eyes. When her vision finally straigtened she counted the days and stared at her clock. after five minutes of blinking she figured she had been up for a week and a half with very little food.
You should get rid of them
But she couldn't abandon the animals. What she really needed to do was get to the town to fetch food in the morning, that was only a few hours. She could hold out for that long, right?
Not going to rage quit, not going to rage quit.
Of course not, what a silly idea. Fluttershy could never do something as mean as yelling at someone and abandoning them. Why would she even think of such a thing.
Two animals began to fight over a piece of food. A white rabbit had clamed the petty morsale as his own and the manticore apparantly wanted it.
"Now you two, stop fighting and just breath." She said getting in between them.
Wait, you do want to quit.
More animals jumped in wanting the food, some stomped their feet, others growled or kawed. What ever they did it was loud.
"Now just hold on a minute." she said in her soft voice.
Just give up.
The noise got louder, soon it blocked out the pouring rain and the thunder.
"Please, just hold-" Flutterhy pleaded.
you don't deserve this.
All of the animals were in an uproar over that one little bit of food. Fluttershy simply sluttered in the middle as the room begun to spin around her. She had to hold on, just for a moment longer.
RAGE QUIT!
"BE QUIEEEEEET!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She flew to the door and slammed it open. She turned and focused her gaze on the animals who didn't know what was scarier. Fluttershy or the 'stare'.
"Now listen here." she said pointing out the door towards the now hailing storm.
"You can all either get along or get out! I have no more food and I have no more room. I have given all of you all I have and I just can't give you anything else. I know your all anxious and most of you are sad cause you lost your homes but I- I-"
I think you should rest...
She collapsed to the floor. Unable to find the strength to stand or fly. This was it. Fluttershy just didn't have the will to carry on.
Discord applauded the shy pegasus. Even as the darkness was coming to take her over she fought to stay awake. The last thing on her mind was the well being of the animals.
At least she was worthy enough to be Pinkie Pie's friend.

...........................................................................................................................................................................

"Can we keep her Mommy? Please?"
"No Silver Spoon. go back to bed. You're father is making sure your window is locked. Do not open it again missy."
"But moooooooommmm!"
"Not until the storm is over. March missy."
"Yes mommy, I love you."
"And I love you, my beautiful, sweet little girl."
She heard the little fillies whooves move out of the room and had hoped the mother's would soon fallow however.
"You can stop pretending now Miss Well."
She let out a heavy sigh and attempted to roll over. The first thing she noticed was she was out of costum, the second thing she noticed was the amount of pain erupting from her right hind leg.
"Easy miss Well, easy. You're leg is fractured, we think so anyways. We called for a doctor."
She moved herself to where she was sitting upright on the couch. The pain was tolerable but she found herself fustrated. She hated this actually. This was not a good place for her to be in if she was where she thought she was.
The purple earth pony sitting across from her had an expression of genuine care written on her face. She had the look of a rich mare from Manehatten who just walked out of a shower.
"Apologies about your outfit dear. We couldn't leave you drenched though. It's drying right now."
MareDoWell just nodded. Should she speak? Would she cause any damage if she did? By Celestia this was awkward. She fidgeted in her seat for a moment hoping an explosion would go off somewhere so she had a reason to leave.
At the very least disappear like a bat.
"Would you like anything? Something to drink prehaps?
Why this house, Luna? Why? Out of all the houses with little children to save, it had to be the Spoons.
"My name is-"
"Tea Spoon, yes. I know you." MareDoWell finally spoke up. She hated the silence so she caved, she just had to watch what she said.
"Oh you do talk? I was afraid you might have forgotten with that lump on your head."
"Apologies ma'am, I just don't have much to talk about."
"Why not? Whats your name?"
"MareDoWell."
"Did your mother not give you a proper name dear?"
"She did, Ma'am."
"And?"
MareDoWell looked down at the table that divided them. Nothing special about it she just wanted something else to look at.
"You remind me alot of my husband, Rusty. Bit rough around the edges but a fine example of a colt. He's the strong silent type too."
"He works the railroad."
"I. Yes actually. How did you know that?"
"Lived in Ponyville my whole life. I know every pony here."
"I don't remember you. I would know of a markless illy trotting about unless you were kept in a cellar all these yea-"
The doorbell rang cutting Mrs. Spoon off. MareDoWell's eyes moved over to the clock on the wall. three hours till morning. Plenty of time to figure things out but she needed to get to her companions.
"You're not Redheart."
A brown colt ,with a hourglass for a cutie mark, moved into home as Mrs. Tea opened the door. He smiled and winked at MareDoWell who in return smiled back at him. He seemed a bit jumpidy as he looked back at her.
"Ahh no, of course not. I'm the Doctor. Specifically hers."
"Doctor? Doctor who?"

...................................................................................................................................................................

She couldn't believe it was hailing now. The heavy rain was one thing but she could not let Applebloom or her friends stay in that tree house any longer, not with the hail tearing everything up.
Applejack was never one to be afraid of anything but when she opened that door the rain felt like it could tear her apart. She fixed her cowbow hat and adjusted her rain coat with a gulp. She would love to get Big Mac to do this but after the wind caused a branch to fall on his back he could barely move.
"You be safe now dear. Let them know I go some nice pie baking for when they get back." Granny smith smiled from her rocking chair.
Applejack glanced back to her grandmother. "No problem Granny, well be back before the sun raises in the hour."
Not one for long farewells, Applejack?
That's just the thing though, this wasn't a farewell she wasn't saying goodbye. She was just going to fetch Applebloom and her friends. It would literally take a few moments to get to the club house and return.
A deep sinking feeling. Not coming back. Should stay where its safe.
Not a chance. She had to get to them. She took her first few steaps out into the storm. It was like walking under a very large waterfall complete with its own ice cubes. Not giving her body a chance to adjust she bolted out down the hill and through the trees.
Run!
She kicked at the ground as her breath grew heavy. Mud and water splashed in every direction with each step. Lightning cracked down around her setting trees on fire. It was nothing new or anything worth paying attention to. She knew the heavy rain would take care of it.
Run, they surrounded you. Faster!
She saw them out of the corner of her eye. The fire illuminated their figures.
A whole pack of timber wolves were chasing her through the apple trees. Why were they so far from the ever free forest? The months of rain probably made any food source they had scarce.
Here they come.
She felt her heart pound as they charged in from both sides. She didn't know what to do but she better think quickly.
Duck down.
She dropped to her knees just before two wolves crashed into each other. She slide under them as they landed in a tangled heap behind her. She moved her hooves back under her and continued her charge through the woods.
Don't lead them to the club house. Above you!
That's right. She jumped and twisted her body in time to see the wolf with its fangs bared. She took off her hat and pressed it over the wolves muzzle. She knew what she had to do. With both hooves she grabbed the wolf and threw it on the ground under her. The wolf let out a yelp as she landed on the thing.
This is where she would have stand her ground.
Left and behind
She stiffed armed the one on the left into a pack of three others. They tripped over one another and got a surprise when Applejack ducked down and let the one behind her fly into them.
From the front and two from behind.
She took her hat and repeated the process of muzzling the wolf infront of her. She forced it head first into the ground. Pressing down with the same hoof she lifted her back legs and bucked as hard she could. She was rewarded with a loud crunching feeling and two very loud yelps.
Jump!
She dropped down and launched herself upwards with her hooves spread wide. Four wolves charged in from all direction only to crash into each other head first. She landed ontop of the now uncounsious pack of timber wolves. She breathed heavily wondering what just happened.
The world around her became very loud as pain blasted through her head. The rain and hail pounded against her body. Her breath froze in her mouth. She grabbed her hat and stumbled off the wolves. She needed to reach her sister.
Thankfully she did not have a long sprint before she found herself at the club house. Climbing up the stairs she peaked around the doorway.
"Applebloom I came to-"
She looked in the cornor what she saw made her heart melt. The three crusaders had wrapped themselves in warm sleeping bags beside a latern and were just snoring away this aweful storm. She couldn't blame them this weather had a way of putting a pony to sleep.
She moved to a wall and layed down. even though it had been a few minutes sence she left the house her whole body ached. She rolled over and gave a leg wiggle as she silently cheered herself. She couldn't believe she had taken on a whole pack of wolves by her loneome.
She froze as relisation hit her. She rolled onto her hooves and stared out the club house window up at the clouds.
"Well I reckon I should thank you for your help, Discord, don't try to fool me I may be tired but I would never forget your voice."
Only the pounding ran and howling wind replied.
"I don't know how you got in my head but you are and I'll even bet you're in my friends head. That's probably why Pinkie Pie has been so different and would explain Rainbow Dash's coma. Wouldn't it?"
Silence.
"I don't know what your plannin Discord, an I don't trust you either but thank you. Thank you for getting me here to my little sister."
She put her head down on her arms as the world around her became dark. Her eyes fluttered for a moment before she feel into her deep slumber.
Applejack...

..............................................................................................................................................................................

"Well besides the minor bruises, the soon to be cold and the dislodged your leg I am happy to say you're a perfectly healthy and beautiful mare. We haven't gone for that cup of tea have we?"
The doctor was gently pressing down on various points of her leg. He made mental notes which points gave her pain ad what didn't.
"Oh would you like some sweet tea, sir?" came the voice of Tea Spoon.
"No thank you ma'am." He shouted back to the kitchen. "Now then lets get this leg bac in place so we can go. Tell me, did your escapaded help Miss Well?"
She nodded in responce as the doctor began to work at her leg. He frowned which was never a good sign from one as he.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Hmm? Oh nothing. No way of doing this gently with what I have on hoof. Deep breath and begin with what I know."
She took in a deep breath and prepared herself using her thoughts to destract her.
"What you know is that Discord intends to end time. You are not sure of the when, why, or how but time comes to an abrupt end for every pony. You have a theory that Discord slipped out of his prision using the binds of the Elements of Harmony to move to Miss Pie. You also know you're correct on that as well as assuming that he's using the same theory to curropt the other Elements of Harmony."
"So did you always have a crush on Scootaloo?" The doctor quickly asked diverting her attention for a moment. With her successfully distracted He pushed her leg back into place with a loud popping noise.
She threw her head back and said something through gritted teeth. Hitting the couch with her arm a few times she turned a deadly stare to the doctor who only smiled from behind his glasses.
"Ow!" she exclaimed both sarcasticly and threatningly.
"Why do you think he did it? End time I mean." He said gently working out the kinks in her leg.
"I don't know honestly. Truthfully I don't care. Were going to stop him this time."
Her eyes wondered to the little mare who was watching from the top of the stairs with large violet grey eyes.
"For taking away my family, my best friend, my town..."
The doctor was quiet for a moment. He stared straight at her with a mixture of pity and sorrow in his eyes. He was trying to mask it with a smile but she had know him mostly all her life.
"Quit that." She said abruptly turning her gaze to the window and the approaching purple figure.

..........................................................................................................................................................................................

I am actually suprised, Rarity. I never thought one such as you would be so brave as to stand up to a god*
"You are a brute and nothing more!" Rarity sat as her table with a cup of warm tea. "Why don't you come out of hiding."
would love to but you ponies are in my way.
"Oh and what a shame that is." she replied sarcasticly sipping her tea. She could barely grasp the thing with the amount of anger she was experiencing. Who wouldn't be cranky if a chaotic god woke them from sleeping and asked them to chat.
"So what exactly did you want to 'chat' about? It couldn't possibly be-"
I'm tired, Rarity
"What?"
I said I am tired. I am also confused. And angry. And sad.
Rarity sat there with her mouth wide open. Seriously how do you comeback from that? Confused and angry sure, but tired and sad? She might not have been the brightest knife in the crayon box but two plus two did not equal a rubber chicken.
She strained her brain for anything to say.
"How?" She finally managed to get out.
Let me start at the beginning. You can tell me what you think when I am done. It all started with the greatest party of all pony time. Pinkie just barely had time to put things together and everything that could have gone wrong did.
"Let me guess, you're doing." She said drinking her tea.
Not at all, all you and your friends actually. Thanks to you and the rest of the elements of goodie goodie blah Pinkie Pie was overwhelmed. Oh how lucky was I when the pink party pony came crying to the gardens because her friends couldn't come together and fix things.
Suddenly she had a bad taste in her mouth.
"Now that's just not true you-"
Isn't it? Think and prove me wrong. I beg you.
"Well of course Applejack was cooking with Zecora and I was helping with the decorations...which I didn't get to finish.* Rarity frowned as she thought of it. "Fluttershy was...Well I know Rainbow was helping...Twilight did the-"
That's what I thought. No, that whole party was Pinkie's doing.
She lowered her head secretly hating herself for not seeing this a month ago.
I made her promise to keep the powers a secret from every pony.
"So your telling me?" she asked cocking an eyebrow.
First it was the parties. She loves them almost as much as she loves her friends.
"Turns out that's her special talent, Discord" It was strange. For a moment there she felt like she was talking to an old friend.
For a while I was fine with her using my powers to throw parties. Most, if not all, of her parties actually kept me distracted. Then it struck me. I liked them. I actually liked them, can you see my confusion?!
"Um, no."
Forget it, just know that I had to get out some how. So I waited and I waited and I waited until finally I found myself able to scratkch at your loyal friend Rainbow Dash. I did the same thing before with Luna. HAHA! You should have seen the look on her face.
He lost her at Rainbow Dash. Her cheeks became red as her anger swelled again. The tea cup she was drinking out of crupled under the strain of magic she was putting on it.
"You what, Rainbow Dash!? That was YOU'RE doing?!"
I in no way wanted to bring harm to her, I just needed her to lose control. I was trying to trick Pinkie Pie into breaking her promise with me. That plan completly sunk when that purple hero came to the rescue.
She sat there with steam pouring out of her ears. To say that Rarity was enraged was to put it lightly.
"So thanks to you one of my best friends is in the hospital."
Soon to be joined by four more, my dear Rarity. After a month of clawing at your elements I finally found a way into all of them. First came Fluttershy, whom I barely wanted to deal with. My attempt to break her the first time did not go so well. Thankfully though she brought it on herself by pushing herself to hard. When she snapped and succumbed to my will I-
There was a moment of laughter
I felt no satisfaction.
Then came Applejack. I told her to stay put. I told her to stay where it was safe and yet she did not listen. She cared about her family to much. She was attacked by wolves. I was desperate, I couldn't just let her get hurt. I helped her through the fight the best I could.
Another moment of laughter filled her head as it throbbed with pain.
Then when she reached her sister and found her safe she thanked me, Rarity. She thanked me.
Rarity got out of her seat and stumbled to the door. The world spun around her as she opened her home to the snow storm outside. She had to get to Twilight's house and warn her.
Tell me Rarity how should I feel? How am I supposed to act? Why is this happening?!
Her head once again throbed with pain as she laughed into the howling wind.
"Don't you see, god?" She shouted over the wind. She matched onwards to her friends house as she felt herself slowly drifting. "You finally care about something other then yourself."
The painful yelling was her only responce. It was like a faol throwing a temper tantrum in her mind. Her whole body shook as rain, hail the size of pebbles, and snow pelted her body.
When the screaming stop the darkness that surrounded her rushed inwards to claim its fourth victim.
Sleep now...

........................................................................................................................................................................................................

Knock-knock-knock
"By Celestia don't we have a busy morning" said Mrs. Tea Spoon as she moved to the door. She opened it and confusion glued itself on her face. Stepping in from the snow was MareDoWell. Tea looked to the gray filly lying on the couch then back to the figure in her door way. Something was different about their outfits. The new Maredowell's outfit seemed very old. It had been torn in many diffrent places and lookled like it was being held together with bandages that hung off her.
"There's two of you?"
The Doctor jumped up excitedly.
"Miss Mare. So good to see you, I was actually hoping you would join me. Mrs. Spoon, Miss Mare. Miss Mare, Mrs. Spoon. Now that we got the pleasentries out of the way we should-"
"Um, Doctor. We have a problem." Said the purple crusader in a boyish tone. She pointed out the door towards Pinkie's house.
The doctor moved past them and squinted into the darkness. There was a bright flash of light as the doctor looked back.
"Suit up, Miss Well. It's happening now."
Well rolled off the couch wtih the other hero, Mare, helping her stand. Well looked at Mrs. Spoon with determination blazing in her eyes.
"If you would kindly fetch my outfit."

..................................................................................................................................................................................................

This weather was depressing. First rain, then hail, now snow?
To top it off she should have been sleeping but her recent nightmare drove her to stay up. She only had about half an hour till Celestia lifted the sun, might as well read it off.
She sat at her table with her head on her whoof. Her eyes gazed on the book before her but she wasn't reading the words, only stared. It was a book, a very good book, but she felt like something big was missing. She felt like something was very, very wrong.
She hadn't seen or heard from her friends in a week and this worried her.
Don't worry, Twilight Sparkle, your friends are all in a much better place.
Her heart sank. She definatly knew that voice. She looked around the room for any signs however she was alone, besides for the snoring of a baby dragon but that was almost white noise to her now.
You're not crazy, however, give me a minute.
The world spun for a momment and the ground shook. Half her house disintagrated away with a loud ripping noise giving away to another house.
Fluttershy laid infront of her front door. Rain pouring down on part of her body. She seemed overly exhausted and very skinny like she hadn't eaten in days.
"Fluttershy!" She began to rush to the aid friend when another part of the house ripping away caused her to stop.
She failed.
What was her bookshelf soon morphed into the cutie mark crusaders clubhouse. Applebloom was standing over her sister crying. She shook Applejack's body with all of her weight.
"Applejack, why ain't you wakin up? Stop playin possum. It ain't funny no more. Applejack... Applejack!"
You all failed.
Another bit of of her house tore away to Rarity who laid half buried in the freezing snow. With tears frozen to her cheeks she stayed motionless.
"Rarity!"
Her table collapsed in on itself and was replaced by a sleeping Rainbow Dash. Doctors and nurses surrounded her as machines went off.
"Her heart is failing. Get her to the E.R. now!"
You all failed Pinkie Pie!
Twilight looked up as her ceiling exploded into oblivion. Freezing rain poured down on her as wind threw things around the disorinted home. She closed her eyes and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"What do you want Discord?! Why are you doing this?!"
The howling wind calmed and the rain stopped. She opened her eyes to her normal library with nothing out of place.
What do I want? I want to play a game Twilight Sparkle. Right now I have trapped your friends in thier own elements and soon you will be to but first I am going to give you a choice. You can either go to your friends or you can figure out a way to vanquish me. Either way you have till the sun rises.
This was, wrong. Something was very wrong. She couldn't put her hoof on it due to the suddeness of this entire situation.
"Until what? What else could you possibly do?"
DO NOT TEMPT ME, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!
it was like the very foundation of ponyville shook under her feet.
I do not feel any happiness from this. I am not getting any satisfaction from toying with you. For hurting Pinkie Pie, you will pay.
She was truly confused and dumbfounded. "What are you-"
YOU DO NOT FOOL ME!
She gritted her teeth as pain coursed through her body. She gasped for air. It felt like something was crushing the wind out of her.
You have fifteen minutes until the sun rises Twilight Sparkle. That's fifteen minutes to go to the aid of your fellow bearers and to say any last goodbyes you may have. Use them well.
The invisible force seeed to release her as she coughed for air.
She looked around for a moment before running out her door into the blizzard. She could see the light of the sun in the distance.
All for a promise.
She focused as she charged letting the magic flow through her. With a bright flash of purple magic she teleported to the side of Rarity. She looked around breathing heavily, trying to figure out her next move. A bit aways she could see Rarity's boutique with it's doors wide open.
For so long now she has kept that grudge in her heart. She tells herself over and over that it's wrong but she can't let it go
Lifting Rarity up she teleported to the open door. She took a few steps into the house and placed Rarity down on her favorite couch. She put a hoof to her and felt her shake. She pulled a blanket out of a nearby closet and wrapped it around the freezing unicorn.
"Everything is going to be ok. I promise."
With that she ran out the door letting it slam shut behind her.
All for a promise
She galloped towards Fluttershy's house. She ignored the heavy hail and snow as she focused her magic on Fluttershy. With another blast of purple magic she appeared at her kind friends side. Nothing to think about this time.
She grabbed ahold of the yellow pegasus and teleported into Rainbow Dash's hospital room. The sudden change caused her to be disorinted. She slammed into a medical table as she held onto her friend.
"Help! I need help!" she cried out placing fluttershy gently on one of the beds.
She gave into the chaos, the madness. Just to keep her promise.
Many ponies came rushing from each direction.
To you.
Immediatly she was bombarded with question about the pegasus.
[ To her friends.
"I-I don't know what happened. Is Rainbow Dash ok?"
To the princess.
"She going to be fine." replaied on of the doctors "But what I really need you to do is calm down an-"
He didn't get to finish as Twilight left in bright flash.
To all of Equestria
She reappeared standing over Applejack in the crusaders club house. The little fillies had wrapped her in their sleeping bags. One of whom let out bigs sobs as she looked up.
"Twi? She ain' wakin up." Applebloom said with tears pouring out of her big eyes.
She touched the mind of a god.
"Don't worry girls. Applejack is just really, really tired." She smiled at the little fillies. "Now hold on, I am taking you all to Applejacks."
"But how?"
She focused her magic into a barrier that surrounded them. She learned the hard way that it was much eaiser to teleport something with things inside then it is to teleport many things at once.
All for a promise
She breathed heavily as the room spun around her. She was good at magic but this constent use was exhausting. She focused on the barrier and then the farm. With a bright flash the whole clubhouse was plucked out of and then place back into existance in the barn. Twilight dropped to her knees as her body gave out.
"Twilight, are you ok?" asked scootaloo with concern written on her face.
Twilight simply smiled and nodded. "You little ponies get big mac to help carry her inside alright?"
They nodded and raced out of the barn.
Just one more pony and five minutes left before Discord did what ever it was. She took just a minute to breath before she focused what was left of her magical reserves into one last teleportation.
She found herself infront of Pinkie's house. She could only stare at awe as a tornadoe of colors swirled around it. Lightning crackled outwards stricking many things but not really doing anything to them. She stepped fowards to the house.
Every single promise she made.
She passed through the tornadoe as she ran through memories of Pinkie Pie.
"What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring. You see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all, hello, and I was all, *gasp*, remember? You see I never saw you before, and if I never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know every pony, and I mean every pony in Ponyville, and if you're new, then it meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, and I had an idea, and that's why I went *gasp*, 'I'll just throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville'. See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!"
She kept them all.
She made her way through the pink party ponies house. Moving up the stars her heart beat raced.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"
All for a promise.
She walked into Pinkies room.
"More balloons! No, that's too many balloons. More candy! No, less candy. Ooh! I know! Streamers!"
All for a burden.
She looked down at her best friend who was sleeping peacefully.
"No body breaks a Pinkie Promise!"
She took in a deep breath as she tried to find the right words to say.
"Pinkie..."
She paused for a moment before she allowed a single tear to fall down her cheek.
"I'm sorry."
