Pinkie Pie wasn't sure what had just happened. One moment she was in her loft in Sugarcube Corner, the next she was in some sort of schoolhouse filled with cattle and chickens. Even for her own unusual abilities, this was out of left field. It was almost like Discord all over again, only there wasn't any cotton candy clouds or chocolate milk rain. She looked around. The chalkboard was covered in characters she had only seen in those funny comic books that Twilight had imported from Neighpon. She groaned. At least there were plenty of cows to make friends with!
At least, that was what she had thought until she saw the chickens talking to the cows in a language she didn't understand. She opened her mouth to speak, but never got in a word edgewise when a hyperactive human with pink hair ran into the room and grabbed one of the cows before running out. Something about Yakky So Bah's pan. Pinkie bounced after them in her usual manner. "I must be dreaming. I have to be dreaming, because if this was real life there wouldn't be a human me dragging around a cow while I watched. I think I'll go play with myself before I wake up from this dream. It sure smells like all those animals are really here, though. It must be one of those dreams Twilight calls a super dream. A super duper hyper Pinkie dream." She hadn't noticed that she was talking out loud. Neither had she noticed that many of the cows were gawking at her as though they had just noticed an english-speaking vividly pink horse in their midst.
As per usual, Fujinomiya Chitose (owner of New Inakano Middle School and president of said school's student council) was fussing over the budget while her goldfish Gyopi watched. They heard some sort of explosion off in the distance, which would normally give any school owner at least reason to pause and be concerned. However, it was Tuesday, which was when her beloved Aoi (not that she would ever openly admit to him being the one boy she desired) was in charge of cooking the Yakisoba Pan (essentially sandwiches of fried noodles, though any true connoisseur of the dish - say, for instance, Aoi - would argue that such a description is overly simplified) for the after-school activities. She paused for a moment when she realized that she was frequently thinking with parenthetical appendages (and was even more surprised at her having become aware of this fact), then turned to the door which had just been knocked.
"{Um, Miss President}" the mild-mannered boy with black hair interrupted. "{Apparently there's a small pink horse wandering the halls speaking English.}"
Chitose frowned. "{I wasn't aware that any of our horses could speak English. For that matter, I've never heard any of our horses speaking Japanese, either. For that matter, since when do we have a pink horse? Shuu, Has Wapiko been playing with the food dyes again?}"
He smiled nervously. "{Well, no she hasn't. From what I gathered, the horse just materialized in the middle of the Health class that all of our cows and oxen were attending.}"
Chitose sighed. "{Did Aoi blow up the kitchens again, or was that something involving the pink horse?}"
The boy of mild manners shook his head. "{That probably was Aoi, since it came from the kitchen. The horse has been bouncing around speaking in English. Something about sparkling twilight and apples from Jack. I can't see how that would result in a kitchen centered explosion.}"
The kitchens were in disarray already, and Aoi was working on his own. He had made plenty of Yakisoba Pan, but had devolved into experimenting with baked goods. Again. He knew it drove Chitose nuts when the resulting explosion rendered food inedible, but he was allowed to do it for whatever reason.
He heard a strange sproinging sound from outside the kitchen, and left some liquid simmering in a saucepan to open the door. He found... a pink horse that was bouncing up and down.
"I thought I smelled a kitchen. I'm Pinkie Pie, do you have any food like cake or cupcakes or pancakes or corncakes or popcorn?"
Aoi just stood there, dumbfounded. "{Um, who are you and why are you pink? Is this another one of Wapiko's pranks?}"
Pinkie Pie looked up at the story and read the translation before answering. "I just said my name is Pinkie Pie! I'm pink because if I wasn't pink I wouldn't be a Pinkie Pie, I'd be some other color pie. And then I wouldn't be me! And I don't know who Wapiko is, though I'd probably help her with a prank if she asked me to. As long as it doesn't hurt anypony."
Aoi just looked at her like she was crazy. "{You can't be one of our horses, none of them could ever speak that fast.}" Aoi shrugged and turned around. "{I've got baking to do.}"
Pinkie took a moment to think about what the translation meant. "You've got horses? I'm just a pony~! Wait, can't you read what I'm saying like how I can read what you're saying?"
Aoi just ignored her and went back to his saucepan, which was now smoking. Pinkie Pie took one of the fried noodle sandwiches and ate it. "Hey, these are pretty good! What are these? Are you Yakky So Bah?"
"{H-hey! Don't eat those yet, those are for everybody!}" Aoi shouted at her. The saucepan chose this moment to explode loudly. "{Agh, not my super secret hot sauce!}"
At that moment, the pink-haired girl from before, who was still dragging the cow, entered the kitchen. "{Aoi-chan, haiii! We're ready for some Yakisoba Pan! Hi Pink Horse!}"
Pinkie Pie frowned as she read the translation. "I'm not a horse, I'm a pony! My name's Pinkie Pie, what's your name?"
The girl looked skyward for a moment, then smiled and extended a hand. "{I'm Wapiko, this is Bad Ox, that's Aoi. Nice to meetcha, Pinkie Pie!}"
Aoi just looked at Wapiko. "{You can understand her?}"
Wapiko nodded. "{Of course! All I have to do is look at the story to know what she's saying! I know how to read English, after all!}"
Aoi just facepalmed. "{It's just Wapiko being Wapiko.}"
