The doctors diagnosed it long ago. Pinkie has a problem. A big problem. And its not a party problem. Shes kept it a secret all these years to avoid hurting her friends with the bitter truth. But keeping the secret may hurt them more.

------
My interpretation of pinkie's depressive side, no gore but ranked teen for some more mature concepts.

Pinkie Pie is the element of laughter. The town comedian. The pony with all the friends, with no true enemies. She has never been hurt in any way, and she has all she wants and needs. Pinkie Pie has no real reason to feel sad.

So why does she?

(Written based off personal experiences. Would've wrote this is an OC fic, but Pinkie fit better.)

Sunset Shimmer asks her girlfriend a simple question: “Would you still love me if I were a worm?”

Unfortunately, Twilight Sparkle has never given a simple answer in her life.

Love has always been a tricky thing.

Some believe that it comes at first sight. Some believe in arranged marriages and love coming after. Sadly, some believe that it doesn't even exist at all.

For Pinkie Pie and Rarity, that was not the case.

Love came from a flirtatious friendship, and talking. Lots and lots of talking.

(Slight OOC Pinkie and Slight OOC Rarity. Rated Teen for Language and Innuendos.)

This story is a sequel to Princess Twilight's Pupil

This is the other side to the story, Princess Twilight's Pupil
I recommend prior reading, although it's not necessary.

Twilight Sparkle has just defeated Starlight Glimmer, and she's now reformed. But the news has spread. What does everypony think of her? Starlight can only hope she's not still an outcast.

When Starlight agreed to move to Ponyville, she thought it would just be magic and all that. She probably should have realized she would have to make friends, given Twilight's title of Princess of Friendship and all. She had trouble making friends until she meets a showmare in the spa. The two hit it off and Starlight confuses herself when she gets angrily defensive of the mare and her feelings she's never felt for anypony before.

When Starlight’s magic is torn away from her by the Storm King, her friends are there to help her recover and adjust in her magically drained state but after having her magic taken away in a painful way that even Tirek could never do, it is questioned if she will truly be okay even if she gets her magic back.

Starlight isn't feeling great, so she goes to Sire's Hollow for Hearth's Warming. She goes through a lot of old things in her old room. Including her diary.

She reads her old memoir and remembers what she truly used to be like. And hopefully, she's changed for the better.

Wanting to spend more time with her friends, Trixie invites Starlight and Maud on a night together where they do wild and cool things together to build up memories. But some of Trixie's ideas for a good night might not be the best decisions...

One year ago, the immortal moon lich died.

One year ago, Twilight Sparkle the so-called human moved to Ponyville.

Rarity never believed that, of course. The "human" bit. After all, no human would willingly choose to live in a town of monsters, and no amount of magic or hunting orders or Plans with a capital "P" would ever change her mind on that—especially when said human was so constantly collected and calm.

But... if she wasn't human, what kind of monster could she be?
