    In an effort to keep her mind occupied, Twilight Sparkle decides to delve once again into the grand mysteries of Pinkie Pie. This time, Twilight's focus is on her claims of growing up on a rock farm: like so many things related to Pinkie Pie, the idea that somepony could grow rocks as an agricultural product makes absolutely no sense. However, the investigation eventually leads Twilight to a rather... surprising discovery.

    This is the first story in The Petriculture Cycle.

    This is the kind of story that makes me want to jump for joy -- and at the same time, makes me feel entirely inadequate as an author.

    That could work...I mean only an imaginary friend could be like Pinkie.

    And I think the statue Celestia was looking at was Discord...who knows..

    Oooooh... that was clever. You are a very clever pony and you should feel very clever.

    :pinkiegasp:

    What an idea! An amazing concept coupled with some really heartfelt emotional conflict-- the tings I enjoy the most in a story. Wonderful, wonderful!

    And that end... was actually perfect. I shivered a little bit, imagining a sort of camera-pan towards Discord in the garden. Discord as an imaginary friend would make perfect sense. He seems relatively benign for something that embodies chaos. I mean, no one dies, no one is seriously hurt directly by him, and he even surrenders the location to the only weapons capable of defeating him. He's a mean imaginary friend of a god playing a game. A mean game... but still a game.

    I'm not going to induct this into my headcanon, but only because I already have a complex setup in place involving Pinkie's sisters, parents, and the various occupational perils of petriculture. Rest assured, I still think that this is still a fantastically thought out and written origin story. Well done!:pinkiehappy:

    I've seen Pinkie as a standard pony... Pinkie as a cyborg clone from a colony of outer-space Pinkies... Pinkie as the embodiment of primordial chaos and a danger to all of Equestria... As the grand-daughter of Loki, or as the assistant of Death from another realm, as a killer, as an amnesiac, as an inventor and as a Great Old One...

    And now I can add 'imaginary friend' to that list as well.  She Of The Many Origins. :pinkiesmile:

    Well crap. I don't know what to say about this. It's heartwarming, and a little sad at the same time. That'd be so strange. To have created your best friend, and not have her be merely imaginary.

    I only got the part about Discord after comparing some comments and the last few sentences, but that one actually almost brought a tear to my eye. Because that's kind of heartbreaking, because what if he was benign at first, but they got bored in their godhood-ness and forgot about him, only for him to become angry?

    My closest theory/prediction was Pinkie coming from the 4th wall. Others included Twi's sister, orphan, and spy from the Griffan kingdom. I was blindsided by the 'Twi's imaginary friend' origin.

    For a moment there at the end I had the weird idea Celestia was referring to Luna being her imaginary friend she created. :derpyderp2: Her or Discord, I suppose it works either way. :trollestia:

    Though Luna being Celestias imaginary friend makes a lot of sense in a way, if you think about it. Celestia wanted a sister, but Luna couldn't cope with her powers and became Nightmare Moon and had to be banished. Then a thousand years later they're both given a second cance. That's what Celestia meant when she said, "We were meant to rule together..." That was what she intended when she created Luna. :rainbowderp:

    Well, that was certainly a trip.

    I was starting to worry around when Twilight started explaining her imaginary friend.  I was worrying that it would end with Pinkie Pie being fully imaginary along with all her other friends :pinkiecrazy:.

    That would have been an interesting ending indeed, but I prefer this one.

    Excellent job here, lad.

    And then maybe all the other ponies were imaginary, too! Created to be non-god-like friends for the princesses! And then they had foals, and the princesses just sort of stopped making imaginary friends after that. SO much headcanon.

    Yes I am actually trying to somehow fit this into a headcanon that has Octavia and Scratch as pinkies sisters. I'll just play it off as time was a bit warped from the creation of pinkie that it sent her back and caused her to be adopted into the pie family. So yes it modifies the story a bit. Gods, my headcanon its getting insanely complex.:pinkiecrazy:
