Q and A with Pinkie Pie

by HintCore

Q & A

​Hello everyone, and welcome, to Q and A with Pinkie Pie! Now, the way this works is simple, just think, or, if you’d rather, say your question. If you’re lucky, Pinkie will specifically address you and answer your question. Do remember, if she’s addressing what seems to be you, but isn’t answering your question, it’s because a lot of people share your name. Anyways, here’s your hostess, the one and only Pinkie Pie!

​“Aw, thanks Mr. Narrator! Feel free to go take your break now, I’ll get this part started. Well, it’s not a literal party, even though it could be, but you know what I mean."

​Thank you Pinkie! Do you want anything to drink? I’ll get it for you if you like.

​“Nah, I’m good, but thanks for asking!”

​ Okay, well I’m off now. Enjoy!

​“Likewise! Anyways, let’s get started, everyone and everypony! First up, we have a question from Jerry, who is asking how I get around so quickly. Well, Jerry, that’s really simple! I just pause the show and walk over to where I want to go. It really is an efficient way to travel! A time that this is especially useful is when you’re trying to keep up with Equestria’s Fastest Flier, don’tcha think?

​“Now, our next question is from Stephanie, and she’s asking me where I got my party cannon and if there’s a way she can get her hands on one. Honestly, I made the party cannon myself. It was really easy to fit a party in there; all I had to do was ask Dr.Whooves if I could see how his TARDIS worked! Speaking of the Doctor, no, Emilio, I have not gone to another planet with him. That’s Derpy’s job, not mine. I did make a welcome party for an alien, though, but that’s another story!

​“Now, for some shorter answers. Yes, James, I write the lyrics to all my songs, and then I send them to my friend Daniel Ingram! Oh, also, Seth, your alarm clock is ringing. Don’t put it on snooze this time. OH MY GOSH!” Pinkie gasps. “How could you ask such a thing, Adrian!? I would never even think of hurting Dashie, much less killing her, you meanie! Also, Mr. Narrator, I know that you’re back. I am reading over this fic, you know. "

​Sorry, Pinkie. I just got lonely.

​“Aw, it’s okay Mr. Narrator. However, I did hear that the author is writing another story right now that could really use a narrator. Why don’t you go check it out?”
​
Gee, thanks Pinkie!

​“No problem! Have a great time! Now, back to questions. Oh, Jacob, thanks for bringing that up! Yes, I do have a photographic memory. How else would I remember everypony in Ponyville? Well, I suppose I could use FIM Wiki, I mean, have you SEEN that huge list of character they have? Also, Gary, I don’t understand how ‘yo mama’ is a question. I mean, really? My mom still has to be on a rock farm and take care of dad. Aw, thanks everypony! He’s doing pretty well, albeit not able to travel to Ponyville. The farm is farther away than you’d think.

​“Now, next question. This comes from Michael, and he wants to know where I got Gummy. Well, Gummy was a birthday present. Fluttershy found him in a river near her cottage one day, and thought that he’d be perfect for me when he say his cute little smile. So she kept him for 3 days, until she gave him to me in this tux on my birthday! And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Fluttershy, look out, that alligator in a tux is gonna eat you!’ And Fluttershy told me that he didn’t have any teeth, only gums, so I was like, ‘okay.’ I was going to name him Albert, because he looked a little bit like an Albert, but when I took him inside and put him down, he went over and started chewing on this gum that I’d left on the table! So instead of naming him Albert, I named him Gummy! Isn’t that great?

​“Well, Oscar, my friends usually don’t think much of it when I do random and seemingly impossible things. First off, they think my Pinkie sense is genetic, or at least Twilight does, when in reality I’m just reading off of the script! Fitting in tiny spaces is easy, seeing that all I do for that is use the technology that the Doctor gave me, along with my pause-and-run technique! Growing extra limbs or grabbing stuff from thin air is easier than you’d think; I just borrow things from your world, unless if you’re actually living in Equestria right now, in which case I borrow things from the humans’ world! And no, Esteban, it’s not actual pony limbs, I just borrow the toys! Hasbro lets me use them; they even encourage me to!

​“Yes, Melanie, I have met Lauren, she’s really nice. Lemme specify, though, I’ve met her as an alicorn, not a person. She lives in a secret castle deep in the Everfree so that no one bothers her. Seeing the way the ponies worship Celestia, she figured that she’d never get to be alone if everypony found out that there was an alicorn who could create anything just by drawing it! And that’s right, John, the reason Celestia and Luna are just princesses is because Lauren is the actual queen.

"Also, Stan, don't be so silly. I'm first! See, I'll even say it. First!

"Matt, I know what you wanted to ask, it's just a moderately boring process. But, if you insist... Rock farming takes quite a while, let me just say that first. To begin, you need a rock (Duh!). You should then proceed to dig a 3-4 foot hole, put the rock at the bottom, and then fill the hole with dirt again. Every day for the next month you need to jump and stomp on the hole. After the month, you have a much bigger rock which you can either sell or use to farm more rocks by breaking it into pieces. Different colored rocks are usually sold. Also, right after I got my cutie mark, we decided to start selling pet rocks!

"People are always asking about Octavia, so I'll gladly clear that up! She isn't my sister, however she is one of my cousins! I have a sister that looks like her, however, named Inky, and my other sister is named Blinky. Inky and Blinky are still in the rock farming business, though. They loved that first party I threw, but they never really got into actually making them.

"Conner, of course I've been to other universes! I can break dimensional walls just for supplies, so needless to say, my vacations are amazing. Once, I visited this universe where everything was upside down! Of course, it seemed like you were right side up, but then your mane seemed like it was flying and anything you dropped flew up into the sky. Also, I went to this one world were everything was all square-y and blocky. There were these weird green guys that would always explode when I tried to hug them or give them punch. Except there wasn't punch there, so I had to give them milk instead! Oh, it was horrible!

"Of course I believe in the fifth wall, silly! I actually know it exists. I mean, really, how else do you expect I'd be able to go back in time and say hi to Granny Smith when she was young? I even threw her a 'Good Job Establishing Ponyville' party! And on the topic of the other question, no. I am still a-looking for my special somepony, though!

"No, Jeff, I'm not really a fan of bananas. I do love cherries, however. Especially when they're in a chimicherrychanga. Or a chimicherry. Or a cherrychanga.

"Who is best pony? That's an easy one, silly. Everypony is best pony! Twilight is super smart, Fluttershy is really kind, Rainbow is faster than fast, AJ is more honest than Abe, and Rarity makes the best dresses in Equestria! And it doesn't stop there! Lyra loves humans, Cadence is soooooo nice, Octavia makes some of the most beautiful music in Equestria, Bon Bon's candies are delicious, Trixie puts on a GREAT show, Flim and Flam are great salesponies, the Crusaders are so energetic, Vinyl has her bass cannon, Big Mac is really strong, and-well, you get my point.

"The answer to that mainly depends on my mood, Ian. If I want to break the fourth wall directly, I'll just come through the screen. However, I usually just go with the super stealthy sneaky way which involves me getting out of one dimension, sneaking around in between dimensions, and then popping up in a good place at my destination. For example, if you'd turned around 5 seconds ago, you would've seen me. Thanks for keeping your door unlocked, by the way.

"Do I know Sleipwhat whoison? I'm really, really, REALLY sorry, but I have never met anypony who goes by that name. And of course I know Surprise! Jeez, silly, how could I not know my Granny Pie? I even included her in one of my songs!

"Well, I didn't even make up my nickname. I met Rainbow on my first day in Ponyville, and instead of calling me Pinkanema she just shortened it to Pinkie, and I though that it was the most super spectacular name EVER! So after that, I went around Ponyville introducing myself as Pinkie Pie! And of course, you can buy a vowel, silly! I'll even give you a discount. Instead of 250 bits you only have to pay 50...to yourself!

"Steve, one does not simply LEARN to break the fourth wall. 'Tis a way of life, not something you can just be taught.

"Crow, you know full well when I discovered the fourth wall. But, I suppose the readers will be interested, so might as well. It was when I got my cutie mark. The first party I threw, remember? I thought I felt someone-or something-watching me. For a while that feeling went away, but when I met Twilight, it came back. And then I understood, in one glorious eureka moment: we were being watched. So I just employed the ol' Pie anti-dimensional magic (how we got THAT is another story) and broke through the fourth wall. And no, I'm not the only one who knows about. My sisters, Vinyl Scratch, and a few others have discovered it. And yeah, that song was good. But you gotta admit, the Flim Flam Brothers' performance there was much catchier. I'd love to visit, it's just that I've been swamped ith work because of Season 3! Oh, wait, shouldn't have said that. Never mind. And actually, I already have the lead role in Earth Vs. Soup 3, so leave the lead role in the second movie to somepony else. Anyways, silly, they gave me the episode! It's really convenient, I just play it if I get lonely and I have another me to talk to. I mean, really, how else do you think I got a second Pinkie in Smile, Smile, Smile? Anyways, that sound delicious! Oh, and give Tom my best wishes!

"Where did I go to school? Well, I didn't actually go to a school, Christina. My sisters and I were homeschooled. My mom taught us most of the subjects: math, English, and things like that. However, our dad coached us on the weekends (hard to imagine, but true) and Granny Pie taught us history! True, you didn't get to make any new friends, but it was still super duper fun!

"Well, Eric, if you really want to know the truth about the Cutie Mark Crusaders.... Applebloom is completely normal, lemme just say that first. I can't say the same for the other two, though. Scootaloo is adopted, and the reason you never see her parents is because....they're chickens. Seriously! They live in Fluttershy's chicken coop! Sweetie Belle, on the other hand... Well, I don't think she even knows this. Her whole family, as well as her, are actually dictionaries. I know, it's crazy! But they are sentient dictionaries living in robot bodies. I know because Rarity told me. That, and when I accidentally spilled water in her eye, she started twitcha-twitching!

"So you wanna know the secret to my do? The magic of my mane? Well, to be honest, Emme, I'm not really sure how my mane works. That initial spark of joy when I saw the sonic rainboom caused it to poof up the first time, as you know, and, when I got all sad because nopony wanted to go to my parties it got all deflated-y, so I assume it has to do with how I'm feeling. I'm not really sure about the specifics, though. I just kind of go with the flow. I mean, really, who in their right mind wouldn't want hair that styles itself to how you're feeling? I gotta admit, though, I think that aspect of my hair makes Rarity a little bit jealous. Anyways, to the next question from you. Am I jelly of unicorns and pegasi? Well, I'm never jelly, that'd make Hugh go crazy! That colt really loves his jelly, almost as much as Derpy loves muffins. It's no wonder those two got married, they make such a wonderful couple! Oh, wait, you meant jealous? No, not really. I mean, come on, I can practically do all the things they do. True, I can't levitate things, but I can teleport, hover, fly, gain extra limbs, and a whole more super cool stuff! I'm not saying that I'm better than them, I'm just saying that I'm truly happy with who I am! Who else gets to be Pinkie? Nopony, that's who! Well, I guess people who get into costumes can kind of be me, but that's just not the same! As far as I know, they can't break dimensional laws. I really hope not. The power of the fourth wall is dangerous, if in the wrong hands.

“Anyways, everypony, that’s it! I don’t plan on doing another one of these, but who knows? Maybe if enough of you like it, and seeing that a lot of you have already asked something, it seems like you do, I’ll hold another one of these. For now, though, this is it, just because the author wanted to try and write a one-shot, like he says in the description. Whether you liked this little session, or it was just too random for you, tell the author and I in the comments section below! We’d both love to know what you think! Well, mainly him, because I already know! Until next time, bye everypony! It’s been really fun! Come back soon!”

FIRST YEA!!

[XPAINX]

You should space that shit out to make it easier to read man.

[HintCore]

681409
Check the second to last paragraph.

[mau5!]

THIRD YEA!

[NintendoGal55]

This is hilarious! XD Awesome! There should be more spacings between the paragraphs and also an indication that Pinkie Pie is still speaking if the paragraph gets long. But so far, this is fun! I think everypony is going to have a ball with this, for sure! I definitely want to ask a thing or two.

[HintCore]

681522
Thank you! I fixed the spacing just now. It had spacing when I typed it up on Word, but FIM Fiction decided that it didn't want me to have spacing. Anyways, Pinkie is the only character in the story, save for Mr.Narrator, so I figured that you'd know it was Pinkie. Any suggestions on how to fix the lack of indications?

[Reisys]

Oh oh! Pick me, pick me!

I have a question.

My name is Matt, and I've been wondering, how do ponies farm rocks?

I've been wondering that for about, forever.

Edit: I hope Pinkie reads the comments...

[NintendoGal55]

681541
Well, when you make a long paragraph and then split it while the character is still talking, here's how it works!

"Dialogue speech goes right here. Do not put colons at the end of this sentence.

"And then when you skip, you put up the colons at the beginning as a way to show they're still talking. If you do this more than once, repeat! Then when it's over, that's when you put the ending quotes."

Hope that helps!

Ooh, yay! ^w^ I've got a question! (I put it in bold for your convenience!)

Pinkie Pie, hello! You're awesome. So, I have a question. A background earth pony the fans call Octavia (she's a musician, plays the cello) has been sometimes speculated as your sister, since she looks like one of your sisters from your flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles". Just wanted to know if you'd explain what's up with that.

[HintCore]

681550 681589
Got you both in the story. Thanks to both of you for the support. :D

[Reisys]

OMFG I LOVE THIS STORY!

Getting responses from Pinkie is so awesome(It is pinkie, right?) and I smiled while reading.

I think this needs featured box, right now.

[HintCore]

681668
Yes, it is Pinkie. She dictates her answers, I write them down.
But really, thank you very much! And that may not be very far away, as, last time I checked, it was rit under a story that was in the Feature Box about 30 minutes ago.

[OkieDokieLokie]

Octavia is one of Pinkie's sister's cousins. Pinkie and her sisters should have the same cousins, unless they're half sisters, or step sisters, or adopted sisters. Where was Grannie Pie during the flashback?

[HintCore]

681695
Oh, yeah, kind of obvious mistake there. Thanks for correcting me there.
It was totally me that made the error.
Not Pinkie.
help me

[Lucefudu]

Silly and pointless, but very enjoyable.
I like it. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png

[HintCore]

681739
Thanks! And really, isn't that what all Random fics are?

[Lucefudu]

681742 Exactly. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png

[The Maelstrom]

Damn,got here a little late

But! Since I'm here, might as well:
Dear Pinki- No, that seems a bit too formal, and I'm not wearing my tux so it seems a little out of place
*Ahem*
Have you visited any other Dimensions, Universes, Worlds, Galaxies or any other place besides Equestria. You're '4th Wall Breaking' seems to support this question

If you do, mind telling me?

[Warren Peace]

I have two questions if Pinkie's interested...
1. Have you ever or do you have a 'coltfriend' (I'm bored).
2. Do you believe in...*looks around paranoidly* the FIFTH wall!

[Airstream]

Worth a shot-
Hi Pinkie! My name's Jeff and I have a question!
Do you like mmmmmmBananas?

[FormNalvoid]

YO pinki who is your favorite pony... besides your self silly filly!

[HintCore]

If I add 1000 more words I can submit this to EqD! Wow!

[Alien Entity]

ooh! oh! I have one! my name is Ian, and here is my question: when you traverse the 4th wall, do you actually come through the screen, or do you get around through some other manner? Just curious.

[Tygerburningbright]

To Miss Pie
What is you relation to the slippery one Sleipnir Lokison and the pegasus Surprise also know as the Pinkie Pie model 1984 any information will be greatly apperaciated.

From
Mr.E

[Slingo]

Pinkie;

When did you start going by Pinkie Pie and not Pinkamena Diane Pie?

[NintendoGal55]

681627
You're very welcome! I read it, and loved it! That's a nice ideal, making Octavia her cousin. I can get behind that!

Good luck with it all!

[Menoshe]

Can I buy a vow_l? "E" would b_ nic_.

...Why did I type this comment again?

[DerpyFan101]

i have a question my names steve and how would i go about breaking the fourth wall?

[HintCore]

All comment question shave been added to the story.
Thanks for the support, everypony!

[Crow T. Robot]

To Ms. Diana Pie,

When did you first discover the Fourth Wall? And do the other ponies believe you about it?

...Also, remember that one time on the Satellite Of Love when you came aboard and Dr. Forrester forced us all to watch Bride Of The Gorilla with that short film on trains? I loved that song we did about Lon Chaney Jr.
Hope you can come back, Joel's been missing you a lot.

Your buddy,
Crow T. Robot.
P.S: Would you be interested in the lead role in Earth Vs. Soup 2: The Resoupening?

[Crow T. Robot]

Hey, you can't expect me to remember, it was a season and a half ago. Wonder if they ever sold THAT episode or whether it would be too confusing...
Also, I forgot to tell you this but Joel's going to make you some strawberry waffles when you come back to the SOL.
Oh yeah...that's right, I got Tom to star in E VS S 2.

PINKEY PIE DO U LIKE RICHARD BASEHART???????? ANSWER ME PLEASE AND DO YOU LIKE RICHARD BASEHART MOVIES BECAUSE I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE IT WE CAN HAVE A GIRLS SESSION TOGETHER AND-

Gypsy, get away from the keyboard! No, I'm not asking her that, that's a silly question! Yes, Pinkie's coming back. Yes, she'll be back soon. No, not tomorrow...not next week...I DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE'S COMING BACK! GEEZ! Uh...sorry, Gypsy, but...I've got a little bit of a headache after watching Creature From The Haunted Sea...No, not the Universal one, the stupid Roger Corman one...

See you soon!

Your pal,
Crow T. Robot.

[Vpirate25]

I really rather enjoyed this!

[HintCore]

685507
Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it.

[HintCore]

Sorry everypony, not accepting any more questions.

[danail24]

Weeeee... Epic fun!

[HintCore]

706310
Thank you very much.

[AkibaWhite]

Congrats on making it onto The Writers' Group Mini-Feature!
As for the story, there were parts where it didn't sound quite like Pinkie (usually due to a proper word like "albeit"). As a fellow writer though, I know precisely how hard it is to write dialogue for this character; you've done really well to have this giant chunk of Pinkie Pie come off as almost entirely believable! +1

[HintCore]

732883
Thank you very much for the I out and compliments! Congratulation to you as well for making it to the Mini-Feature. I have yet to read your story, but I've most certainly been wanting to. I saw it earlier this week and out it on my read later list. However, that list is 74 stories long at the moment, so it may have gotten just a little bit lost.

[HintCore]

738447
Thanks for the favorite an dpointing out the error.
However, I am no longer accepting questions BUT I already kind of answered that question. Gimme a second and I'll look up where it is.
Sorry, though.
Eight paragraph. I didn't mention it by name, but if you've read it you'll get the reference.
The EqD prereaders most certainly did... -grumble grumble-

[SephReunion123]

I have a question: Pinkie Pie have you ever meant fellow Fourth Wall breaker Deadpool? If so how much fun did you two have?

[The Maelstrom]

681844

Conner, of course I've been to other universes!

...I never stated my name, so how did you.....

Oh Dear Mythrans....

[Neildoc]

very amusing and cute. I have a couple of questions.

as someone asked: have you ever met fellow 4th-wall breaker Deadpool and woud
you hang out.

have you ever met the Equestria Girls and what would you do if they entered Equestria
as humans?

keep this up. this is wonderful.
