After the rousing success of her first party, bringing joy to her parents and sisters, Pinkie Pie left her home to teach that joy to others. On her first day in Ponyville she stumbles across a struggling Sugarcube Corner, and resolves to help out the business.

When Pinkie came knocking at her castle door, Twilight herself was a little surprised. She had brought her a gift. But the older mare had a strange, dark mood about her. Shouldn't Twilight be happy, anyway? Yet when she opens the present, it just might be the most heartbreaking thing she has ever recieved.

The Princesses' birthday celebration is here again, and Mayor Mare needs a scapegoat—er, trusted citizen—to handle Ponyville's gift. Certainly, deciding what to get for an ancient ruler who's seen everything will be a piece of cake. Hm, cake. Maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Third-place winner in The Write-Off Association's contest "Lonely Happiness."

Gilda has kidnapped, beaten up and even tried to murder Pinkie Pie. Yet when Gilda's past comes crashing down on her, will Pinkie forget all that Gilda has done to comfort her in we time of need?

Pinkie Pie was left in something of a pickle when Discord cancelled his order for every display cake in the shop and disappeared – although to call it a pickle was inaccurate. It was more like a trip up chocolate creek without a candy cane paddle.

Set during 507: Make New Friends but Keep Discord.

Two outlaws get more than they bargained for when they kidnap a young Pinkie Pie for ransom.

Set right after the conclusion of the episode "Maud Pie," Maud reflects on her life and how important Pinkie Pie was to her. She thinks of how she grew emotionally unavailable, and how hope can be beautiful as well as tragic.

(2nd Person Story Starring You – A Human & Pinkie Pie)

What starts out as a peaceful morning is quickly shattered. You happen upon a human that's a new arrival to Ponyville and much to your horror, you witness him attack Pinkie Pie! Wasting no time, you quickly go to her aid, and in the process of helping her, you discover you're more of a friend to Pinkie than you ever realized.

Note - I've had a Pinkie Pie project in the works for some time now and have been wanting to do a story about her. A friend of mine told me about an anti-cuddle fic starring Pinkie Pie. After reading it, I was inspired to write this story. This also doubles as somewhat of an intro to the story I'm still planning about Pinkie Pie and a human. If this has a positive response, I will definitely look into making the story a reality. Just keep in mind, unlike this one, the actual story will be a mature romance. And, while this one may be lacking back story details, the main story will help take care of that issue.

Rated: Teen (as a precaution)
