Pinkie grabbed the butterscotch mare and slammed her into the ground shouting “Who are you and why did you attack me?

The butterscotch mare said “I’m Flutter Dash, fastest flier in Equestria and Ponyville’s one and only weather pony.” 

Pinkie looked around and said “Today, was supposed to be clear. Why haven’t you done your job.” 

Flutter Dash said “I will do it after I’m done practicing.”

Pinkie asked confused “Practicing for what?”

Flutter Dash shouted excitedly “The Wonderbolts, they are going to be performing tomorrow and I will get the chance to show them my moves.”

Pinkie laughed “Why would they accept a pegasus who can’t even clean up a few measly clouds?” 

Flutter Dash flew up to her face before telling her “I’ll have the sky cleared up in ten seconds flat.” 

Pinkie said “Prove it.”

Pinkie watched as she cleared the sky in a matter moments. Flutter Dash asked proudly “How was that?” 

Pinkie said “Pretty Impressive, I must say.” 

Flutter Dash stared at her for a few moments realising the calm demeanor of the unicorn in front of her. She frowned “I expected you to be super impressed.” 

Pinkie said “I’ve had a rough day, I am not capable of getting super excited right now.” 

Rainbow said “Well, I’ll see you around, I have more practice to do before tonight.”

Spike said as Flutter Dash flew off “She’s amazing she cleared those clouds in no time.” 

Pinkie said “Don’t get too excited we’ve still got work to do before tonight.”

They had arrived at the hall for the Summer Sun Celebration which covered in extravagant and beautiful decorations of all kinds, representing the power the sun. Spike said mesmerised “Beautiful.”

Pinkie smiled “Yes ,the decorations are beautiful.”

Spike eyes turned heart shaped as he said “Not the decor, her.” 

Pinkie saw a white earth pony carrying a basket of decorations. She place pulling out different coloured ribbons before deciding on the right one to put on the column. 

Spike asked “Do I look handsome?” 

Pinkie ignore him asking “Good afternoon, I’m here to..” 

The white mare shrieked “Your mane, it’s so flat and droll it needs some flare to it.I’m going to give you a makeover” She grabbed Pinkie and dragged her to her boutique with Spike following behind. Pinkie was surprised by the strength of the mare pulling her. When they got there. 

Pinkie asked “What’s you name?”

The white mare said “Forgive me, I’m Rarity and this my boutique. Now let’s get your mane trimmed.” 

Pinkie said “You shouldn't touch my mane with anything, things have a habit of falling into it and never comes out.” 

Rarity said “Oh.” 

She then started to match Pinkie with different dresses. Rarity asked “Why are you here” as she tried to tighten a dress around Pinkie’s body. 

Pinkie gasped “I was sent from Canterlot to...” 

Rarity said excitedly “Canterlot,I’m so envious the glamour, the...”

Pinkie interrupted Rarity much to her shock “It’s not it’s cracked up to be, all they nobles are rude and think themselves so important. I have yet meet a single noble with even a hint of humility.” 

Pinkie chucked off her dress and said “Thank you for everything but I need to go.” 

Rarity recovering from shock said “Thank you, hope to talk about a slightly more pleasant topic next time.” 

Pinkie said as she left “Of course, thank you for the hospitality.” 
Spike walked out still smitten. 

As they headed to the outskirts, Spike finally broken out of his trance said “We are supposed to visit the pony in charge of music.” Pinkie nodded and then they both turned around to the hear the sound of soft music. Pinkie peaked over to see the rainbow unicorn from earlier, helping compose bird songs. Pinkie looked for a moment before realising the mare looked familiar. Pinkie whispered “Spike, stay here and maintain silence.” 

Spike nodded despite being completely confused. Pinkie walked up behind the unicorn and whispered “Hello, Prismstar.” 

Prismstar turned around and whispered back “Hello, Pinkie.” 
Spike watched as they whispered to each other. He eventually got bored and walked out “Come on, Pinkie what are you whispering about.” 

The birds startled flew away, Pinkie was about shout when Prismstar darted towards him and picked him up with her hooves, she said “A baby dragon, he so cute, where did you get him.”

Spike said “She hatched me out of egg when she was a little filly.”

Prismstar said “He can talk. Can I ask him some questions?”

Pinkie said “Of course, the music seems to be going well so there is no more to discuss.”

As Prismstar took the baby dragon inside, a small rabbit hopped out. Pinkie stared at the rabbit curiously. The rabbit took an aggressive stance towards her . To uneducated pony it would seem like a dare to approach but to a pony who studied any martial arts this was a challenge. Pinkie bowed her head before taking up a similar stance ,standing on her two back hooves. Pinkie struck first with a powerful strike knocking the rabbit flying backwards. Pinkie stared worried for a moment, before the rabbit jumped up, ready for more. They clashed exchange blow after blow. Prismstar finished with Spike only to see a unicorn and rabbit outside staring at each other.Prismstar shouted as she ran out “Stop, please.” 

Pinkie heard the shouting and smiled “Look like we have to wrap this up.”
They both launched a single strike each. Prismstar stared the two standing behind the other. She then shrieked as they both collapsed to the ground. Pinkie and the rabbit smiled as they blacked out. Both of them woke in Prismstar’s cottage. 
Prismstar said “That was very dangerous, Angel, your only a little bunny.”
Angel stared her as if to say you never let me have any fun. 
Pinkie said “I’m sorry, it’s just Angel challenged me.”

Prismstar whispered “My fault, she always challenges other ponies to do that.”

Pinkie said as she got up “No trouble, I’d gladly come back, he is quite a fighter and you should be proud.” 

Prismstar whispered “Umm I’m not sure...” Her voice became inaudible. 

Pinkie said as she put Spike on her back “Spike, come on we got to read that book Celestia gave us.” 

Spike said “Yes of course.” He then asked “Do want to know what Fluttershy asked me?” 

Pinkie said “Sure, why not.” 

As they walked back Spike told Pinkie about all of the questions Prismstar asked including his diet, who his parents were and many others. 
He finally said at the end “So that’s what she asked me, it was amazing for someone to be so interested in my life.” 

Pinkie said “Of course” as she entered the library. The room was pitch black. 

Pinkie said “Now, I really need to read that book that Celestia gave me, now where’s the light switch.” 

Then the light turned on as a multitude of ponies shouted “Surprise.” 

Pinkie looked at the humongous party with a smile. The purple mare asked bouncing “Hi there, my name is Twilight Sprinkles, this is just party for you are surprised, are you are you?” 

Pinkie mane poofed up as she bounced up and down “Yesthisisamazinglet’sgoplaytwistertheneatlotsofcupcakescoveredinhotsauce.”
Pinkie and Twilight’s smiles widened as they dashed off to play twister.Rarity collapsed to the floor. 

Flutter Dash looked at Rarity before saying “Great, now there’s 2 of them. Twilight was enough for Ponyville but now we have 2 hyperactive ponies with limitless energy.”

Spike laughed “It’s finally good to see her back to her normal self.”

Applejack asked “How are you okay with this?” 

Spike said “Pinkie raised me ever I hatched, this is normal for me.”

Flutter Dash nudged Applejack “Come on, let’s get some air before things get any crazier.” 

Applejack said “Let’s have a race, you and me, just like the days at flight school.” 

Flutter Dash said “Let’s go then.” They both dashed out an open window. 

Prismstar meanwhile was hiding under a table trying to avoid the ruckus. The party went on for hours, Pinkie and Twilight were the heart of the party. After many long hours the party finally ended, leaving Pinkie with biggest smile she had had all day. 
Shortly afterwards they arrived at the Summer Sun Celebration Hall. Pinkie bounced up and down “Thisisgonnabesogreat.” 

Pinkie and Twilight bounced up and down in unison as Fluttershy’s birds sung.Mayor Mare said “I’m proud to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration.” 

The crowd cheered loudly. Mayor Mare announced “It’s time to celebrate the longest day of the year.” Pinkie remembered what was bound to happen today and looked at the moon. Her mane flattened as she saw the Mare on the Moon vanish. 

Mayor Mare continued “It’s my great honour to present the guardian of harmony and the ruler of our marvelous land, Princess Celestia.” 
As the curtain was raised Celestia was nowhere to be found. 

Rarity ran out to find Princess Celestia only to return to tell all the ponies “She’s gone.” 

Then a shadow slowly appeared revealing a dark coloured Alicorn covered in heavy combat armour. 
Pinkie snarled “Nightmare Moon.” She rushed forward to confront the Alicorn. 

Nightmare Moon laughed maniacally “You have plenty of guts standing up to me.” 
Pinkie stood up on her rear hooves and fired 3 bolts of magic out of glowing hooves. Nightmare Moon roared in agony as she felt blood drip from her chest. She turned into a shadow and vanished. 

Pinkie grabbed Spike and darted back to the library shouting “I should have read that book, I was too distracted by the party.” 
The five mares she had visited that day bolted after her.
