Hey guys! This was a doozy to write, simply because I don't know how to write Pinkie effectively, let alone her Puyo counterpart, Yu. And before people say that this is unfair because Pinkie is outnumbered, Yu and Rei are together one playable character. They need each other to be strong. In either case, enjoy!
"Great! I'll see you there, Rose!"
"Super-duper, Lyra! Tell Bon-Bon to come by, too!"
"Of course we're gonna have muffins, Derpy!"
The zany party pony known as Pinkie Pie was out and about doing what she does best: party-related stuff. With such a wonderful, yet calm day, it was perfect to break the silence with another one of Pinkie's spectacular bashes. She was giving invitations to all the citizens of Ponyville, and last on her list was an honorary citizen, Zecora, who resided in the Everfree Forest. While most ponies feared the forest due to the dangerous creatures and creepy atmosphere, Pinkie simply laughed at it, finding the minor scares more laughable than frightening. She happily bounded into the forest, eager to invite the local zebra to her party.

Primp Town's local cemetery had yet another unfortunate victim fleeing from it in terror. There was an infamous force in the graveyard that was well-known for horrifying those who would dare to enter. What was this malevolence? Oh, not much, just the souls of twin children.
"Hahaha!" The leader of the duo, Yu, laughed. "Did you see him, Rei? He was all like 'Whoa, what's going on!?' It was funniest when we brought in the flaming pumpkins! He really thought he was gonna get squished! That was real fun, right?"
"Yes, Yu." Rei simply responded. The two ghosts were inverses of each other, Yu loud and happy, and Rei, quiet and melancholy. One thing they shared, however, was a love for fun, and particularly their own brand of fun, which involved scaring the daylights out of whoever came near them. It was a good afterlife.
"Okay, Rei," Yu began, ready for the next of their child's play, "you get set up near that crypt! I'll lead the next guy over there and then you lift up a skull to his face and-"
Flash.

Pinkie was stopped in her tracks by a sudden burst of white light. It soon faded, but in it's place was something she never had seen before in her life: humans!
Wow, Pinkie thought, I thought these only existed in that foals' show! This is super! I'll show the Cutie Mark Crusaders and-wait why are they floating?
"-then he'll be trapped so we can dress him up like a zombie and then-huh?"
Yu looked around at the change of scenery.
"Hey," Yu began, slightly annoyed, "this isn't our cemetery! I know we're ghosts, but we don't just teleport out of nowhere!"
"Wait, ghosts!?"
Yu turned around to face the the voice, and what she saw made her tilt her head: A pink horse with poofy hair. Don't see those every day, especially with wide blue eyes that have a hint of... fear? Yu's lips curled to a grin. This was going to be fun.
While Pinkie has been known to laugh in the face of danger, she did have a fear of the supernatural. Ghosts, bats, and zombies have made her freak out before, and her friends know it. She knew such things couldn't hurt her because they weren't real, except for the bats of course, silly. And yet, here were two human ghosts just floating here before her. Needless to say, Pinkie was a bit worried, especially when the happy-looking one smiled deviously and flew up to her face.
"Well hey there!" Yu began, "I've never seen a talking pink horse before! I'm Yu, and that's my brother, Rei! What's your name?"
Pinkie managed a smile. At first, she thought they were going to attack her, or worse, take her last few invitations away! But Yu seemed friendly enough, so Pinkie responded.
"Well I don't think I've ever seen humans before, especially human ghosts, and especially especially human ghosts who are friendly! I'm Pinkie Pie!"
Yu let out a giggle and floated around Pinkie. "Pinkie Pie? Cool name! Yes, indeedy, it fits you! Hey, where are we, exactly? I think Rei and I got thrown across dimensions again."
Pinkie shared the ghost-girl's laugh. "This is Everfree, silly! The dark, creepy forest where nopony wants to go!" She smiled, seeming to be oblivious to the fact that she had indeed wanted to go into Everfree.
"Perfect."
Pinkie and Yu looked over to Rei, who had been silent up until that point. Yu giggled, agreeing with her brother's statement. Pinkie Pie gave a puzzled eyebrow raise, but Yu was quick to speak before any deep thought could be made.
"Hey!" Yu exclaimed, "Wanna play a game?"
Pinkie's smile returned and she hopped up in excitement. "Oooh, I love games! What are we playing? Oooh, please let it be Pin the Tail on the Pony!"
The ghost girl laughed and shook her head, floating back over to Rei's side. "Nope! We know a much better game! Ready, Rei?"
"Yep." Rei deadpanned. The two spirits covered their faces with their hands. Pinkie Pie, being a curious pony, took a step towards them.
"Peek..." Yu began, while Pinkie stepped closer.
"A..." Rei continued. Pinkie stopped.
Oh no, she thought, I know what's next.
Suddenly, the two ghosts thrusts their hands out at Pinkie, as if trying to grab her. Their faces were replaced by green, slimy skulls with worms coming from the mouths.
"BOO!" They shouted.
Pinkie had not moved faster in her life. She bolted away from the spirits in terror, making her way back to town as quickly as her hooves would take her. Normally she would have shrugged off such silly scares, but ghosts who could make such creepy things appear at will was just a little too much. She hoped to make it back to safety before they caught up with her, but no such luck. Yu rose out from the ground in front of Pinkie, still keeping her cheerful demeanor about her.
"Where are you going, silly? We've only just started! Isn't that right, Rei?"
"Yes, Yu."
Pinkie was frozen in fear between the ghosts. she knew Rei was right behind her, but didn't dare look, afraid of what he possibly could have changed into by now.
Get a hold of yourself, Pinkie! These are just children! They just want to play... Well, show them a nice Ponyville welcome, Pinkie Pie style!
"Wait," Yu started, "Where did you get that ca-"
Yu was cut off by a face full of cake. she was knocked to the ground, and Pinkie grinned. She was about to speak when suddenly, Rei dropped a soft pumpkin on Pinkie's head. It broke on her, covering Pinkie with mushy pumpkin bits. She sat there and blinked, taken aback at what just happened. Yu sat up and wiped away bits of cake from her face, laughing hysterically.
"Cake!" Yu exclaimed, "Who throws cake!? That is just silly!"
"Yeah," Pinkie retorted, sharing the laughing, "but it's not as silly as pumpkins! I mean, seriously, a pumpkin? What?"
Both of the giddy creatures laughed at the absurdity of their actions, finally finding a common ground. Pinkie's fear was gone, and Yu's desire to scare gone with it, if only for the time being. As they rolled on the ground, giggling, a light appeared before them, and a soft voice came from it.
"Wow," the voice said, "you two are quite the party animals! Fun little scares, a nice game, and all around fun! Hey, follow me and I'll show you an even more fantastic party!"
With that, the light darted off deeper into the forest, with the three new friends looking on after it in wonder. Yu and Pinkie looked at each other, shrugged, and took off after the light. Rei followed close behind, just as eager to see what was in store for them next.
Sorry this took so long; my schedule is kinda crazy and these are hard to write at times. Pinkie is so hard to write, and it's even tougher when you have someone else who is just like her. I hope to have the next one up as soon as I can. Until then, take care!
