There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds.

Pinkamena Diane Pie; Pinkie Pie remembered the name. Haunting her past and family name, she's always wanted a normal life as a filly. Now in Ponyville, she's got it all. And she does not want anything to ruin it.

But when Nightmare Moon comes back, she's forced to confess and face the truth. And who would have known that she wasn't alone...
