    Pinkie looked through her closet, which was curiously able to hold more than its dimensions stated it should. Well, it would be curious if it weren’t for Pinkie’s unusual type of magic. What was she doing, checking her inventory. Despite all appearances Pinkie Pie wasn’t as random as she appeared, yes she was random seeming in her approach to a lot of things, but making sure all her party supplies were all good to go was a task that had her go into so much detail that even Twilight would impressed with it all. Of course her files with info on everyone she knew were in her Party Cave, which she would probably have to move if or when she ever moved out of Suguarcube Corner.
On her way out she noticed gummy holding a note in his mouth, which struck her as odd for a few reasons. For one, Gummy was supposed to be down near the kitchen entrance; secondly, he wasn’t wearing his messenger hat, which meant somebody had just given him the note and rushed out; thirdly, he didn’t look like he was having a good time.
“And fourthly,” said Pinkie, “I just want dracone to get on with this story, he’s starting to drag it out.”
Sorry Pinkie, please try to keep the fourth wall breaks to a number less than ten, please.
“I’ll try, ooh, does this conversation count as one or two of those?”
Just one, now on with the story. Anyway, reading the note told her that it had been left by Twilight, the note stated that Twilight was going to be a bit busier than usual and as such needed Twilight was going did not allow pets, animal companions or familiars with what they stated were ‘security’ concerns. Pinkie knew this as code for businesses either wanting to keep their business secrets within a very small circle or practicing less than legally accepted practices and wishing to hide such things. Hopefully for Twilight’s sake it would be the former and not the latter.
Pinkie decided to go about her day as usual, making mental note to inform Twilight of the rule regarding Gummy and messages. Pinkie continued through the town with a cheery greeting or gesture to everyone she encountered, for some reason Gummy was riding along on her head like a hat despite her not picking him up prior.
As Pinkie skipped and bounced through the town she greeted everyone and stopped for a few seconds for some idle chitchat. Pinkie continued through the town as if nothing were out of place, but then suddenly felt an itching in right leg combined with her left eye twitching and left thumb tingling. This could only mean one thing, someone was about to start singing off key with a bunch other people that were also going to be singing offkey despite previously showing they could do the singing the tune right.
Pinkie had only one course of action, well two but they kind of feed into each other, and that was stop the future offender and get him or her her to singing lessons. After a short search she found the singer, …,  but before Pinkie Pie could stop him/her, … started to sing. She could tell the voice was male, but beyond that not a whole lot since she and several other townspeople started singing in the same offkey manner.

Pinkie find the potential offender, but is too late and they start singing offkey, cue terrible sounding musical number
She then heard the beginnings of Time Turner singing Through the Fire and the Flames offkey, then without fail Pinkie and a dozen other townspeople joined in. The dance number was far more coordinated than usual, which probably had to do with the genre the song was from.
After the song reached “Now we stand” Pinkie managed to break free and stop the song before it went any further, it had already gone well over the length of most other songs. Doing so, she also fixed the Technomancer with a stern look, which was contradicted by the comedic blank look of Gummy wearing a pair of fluffy, pink noise canceling earmuffs on his head.

Time Turner gave a weak laugh as  Pinkie glared at him. “Haha, sorry,  but I couldn’t help myself.”

“You...lessons...singing,” was all all Pinkie said before bringing Gummy from the top of her head to her hold. After finally breaking free from the singing, Pinkie pulled Gummy out of her hair, and in an annoyed as she removed the earmuffs from his head and put them away in her hair before she said, “You know, you could have gotten me my earmuffs too.” Pinkie scolded the alligator. Gummy only blinked blankly, Pinkie then held Gummy to her chest and started to rub him affectionately, as if she was a comforting mother, “Shshsh, its okay, its okay, momma understands, shshsh.” she said softly. Just then her right ear started to give a slight burning sensation. “That’s odd.” Pinkie said confused as she put Gummy back into her hair, “Someone must be talking about me and not wanting me to know. But who..” Pinkie asked herself as she walked, she stumbled upon Applejack and Rarity whispering to each other.  Thinking that it might be about Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, maybe a party, Pinkie Pie decided to sneak up and hide.
“Well today is the day, is everything in order?” Rarity said after doing a quick look. Applejack also did a quick look, 
“All on mah end, Ya’ll have to check with Fluttershy, you are seeing her at the spa, today right?” Applejack asked.
“Good, see you… at the place at the time.” Rarity said and the two separated, Applejack to Pinkie’s left and Rarity to Pinkie’s right. 
Pinkie’s right eye started to wink rapidly, “Camo-time, Gummy.” Pinkie Pie said as she started to follow Rarity. After saying that the borderline comatose pet but two black bars under Pinkie’s eyes, before going back into her hair, after a short dive he emerged dressed as if to blend into anything. Which of course meant he was wearing dark shades, an overly large fake mustache and a black business suite with a white shirt and black tie while holding a bag in his mouth with a variety of disguise items in Pinkie’s size.
Pinkie Pie followed Rarity, staying in the shadows and behind anything and everything as the white-clad enchantress made her way through the streets. She then Rarity whisper something to Fluttershy, and chastised herself for forgetting her spy gear. How was she supposed to know today her friends would seemingly be playing secret agent, she loved that game. Twilight would make an amazing spymaster, she made a mental note to gather her friends together so they could play the spy game.
