Pinkie Pie was standing in a room full of light. The room was completely empty, and stretched from horizon to horizon. It looked endless, like she could keep running and never get to the end of the room.
Pinkie Pie spun around to see exactly what she didn’t want to. Her doppelganger stood there smiling widely and staring at her with amusement. “NO! What are you doing here!?” screamed Pinkie Pie.
“Hahaha... Did you really think I would disappear so easily? I’m not a dream, I’m a part of you.” giggled Pinkamena.
“That’s not true! No part of me would ever try to hurt anyone!” shouted Pinkie Pie, almost shaking in fury.
“Ohhh so the page has turned, what happened to the Pinkie that was all hugs and apologies?” mocked Pinkamena.
“Just stay away from me!” Pinkie was breaking down. “I don’t want to hear this!” sobbed Pinkie, using her hooves to cover her ears.
“That’s because you know I’m correct, you just refuse to accept like the ignorant child you are.” spat Pinkamena.
Pinkie walked closer to her counterpart and stopped in her face. “Just what do you want with me?” muttered Pinkie, giving Pinkamena an evil stare.
“Getting guts now are we? You’ll learn what I want soon, but not just yet.” whispered Pinkamena.
“Tell me!” shouted Pinkie nearly jumping at her.
“I will tell you one thing... look out for your friends...” murmured Pinkamena, smiling a little.
“What? NO! Don’t you dare hurt them!”
The room disappeared and Pinkie Pie started to fall blindly into the light below. She looked up to see Pinkamena standing on a single platform floating in the air, looking at her fall and grinning.
She awoke in her bed shaking and sweating yet again. ‘I’m awake... when will this end?’
She jumped out of bed trying to get her thoughts straight. Pinkamena’s last words were still fresh in her mind. ‘Do I tell them, would they believe me? I don’t know what to do! I have to help them, but how? I guess I should start by cleaning up, just keep calm for now, that’s the best I can do.’
She walked downstairs to start cleaning, she put away the banners,balloons,streamers and cleaned the dishes. She left out food for Gummy and decided to go out for fresh air, to clear her head. She trotted outside to see the sun beaming in the sky and all the other ponies enjoying the nice day.
She was about to canter off again until somepony stopped her. “Pinkie is that you?” said the voice. She turned around to see a white pony with a purple mane standing there with a worried expression on her face. “Pinkie it is you, are you alright? You don’t look so well...” asked Rarity, staring with concern at Pinkies sleep deprived eyes.
“Oh Rarity... Yeah I’m alright, just some things on my mind” squeaked Pinkie, doing her signature bounce and trying not to worry her friend. Rarity kept staring at her with great concern, and she grabbed Pinkies hoof and started pulling her into the crowd.
“Whoa! What are you doing Rarity?” said Pinkie nearly tripping over.
“We are going to the spa, no objections. You look like you could do with a nice relaxing time and the spa is just the place!” said Rarity, smiling and letting go of Pinkie’s hoof. Pinkie was about to protest, but Rarity simply waved her hoof in the air. “No buts. You’re coming, trust me, it will relax you.”
“Fine” groaned Pinkie.
‘You’re really going to take that? I wouldn’t...’
Pinkie shook her head to dismiss the thought that entered her head. She dragged her hooves to the spa with Rarity walking gracefully in a ladylike manner beside her. On their way Rarity talked about topics Pinkie didn’t care about. Stuff like fashion, weather and different beauty treatments.
Pinkie just nodded and threw the occasional ‘okay’ and ‘oh really?’ in there to make Rarity believe she was really listening to her. It didn’t take long for them to get to the spa, and Rarity held the door open for Pinkie as she walked inside, trying her best to look a little excited.
The lobby was a bright yellow with a counter in in the middle of the room. Chairs were all lined up against the wall on the left and right side of the room. Rarity walked up to the counter and pressed the bell waiting there while Pinkie took a seat. “Ah, madam Rarity, what can we do for you today? The usual?” asked a voice from behind the counter.
“Oh Lotus it’s great to see you! Yes, we’ll have the usual.” stated Rarity, pointing a hoof to Pinkie.
“Oh you brought somebody, is it madam Fluttershy?” asked Lotus, peeking at her past Rarity to get a better look. “No. Today I have Pinkie with me. She is feeling awfully down so I want you to make this special for her.” smiled Rarity.
“Of course madam, please just lead yourselves in while we get everything prepared.” Lotus ran off to get everything ready for them. They trotted into the changing room and grabbed a towel. Cantering down the small hallway, they reached the hot tub room, in which Lotus was waiting.
“There you go madam, the water should be nice and warm.” said Lotus.
“Thank you darling!” smiled Rarity, watching Lotus leave the room to give them privacy. They put the towels down beside the hot tub. Rarity walked into the hot tub and motioned Pinkie to do the same. Pinkie groaned and leapt into the hot tub. The water surprised with its warmth, and she quickly slipped down into a comfortable position.
Rarity could see how Pinkie was beginning to enjoy the hot tub and mentally congratulated herself for a job well done. “See darling, I told you this would be nice” said Rarity, now sliding lower into the hot tub. Pinkie hated to admit it, but it did feel nice.
Some time passed before either of them said a word. They were just enjoying the water. “So darling, what exactly is the problem? There is clearly something your mind.” asked Rarity, breaking the silence. Pinkie knew it was only a matter of time until Rarity asked and simply sighed.
‘If I was you I would shut her up for good...’
“SHUT UP!” shouted Pinkie Pie, frustration in her voice.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude! I was only trying to help” whispered Rarity, a little startled.
Pinkie’s mane suddenly dropped completely straight and she turned to look at Rarity with the maddest grin on her face.
“Hello Rarity! I don’t believe we’ve ever met!”
