The Second Life I Didn't Know I Have: Pinkie Pie
Prologue: Waking Up in a Whole New Reality
Ever wonder what it's like to have ever woken up to a whole new life with a new life? Well, I just learned that the hard way. My name's Pinkie Pie, and I've been living happily in a world full of humans. Especially with my new boyfriend, Kevin. Hmm... Perhaps you're wondering how I ended up in this situation. Well, let me start over at the beginning.
It all started when I was at Sugarcube Corner. I was helping the Cakes on baking a cake, and finished up on cleaning the kitchen.
"Thank you, Pinkie Pie," said Mrs. Cake. "I was hoping to get the cake done in time."
"And thanks to you, we got it all ready for it to be picked up," said Mr. Cake. "You deserve to take the rest of the week off."
"Really?!" asked Pinkie. "Okie dokie lokie! That'll give me enough time for me to set up for Scootaloo's Birthday party." I looked over at Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and they were looking at me with wide eyes. I then asked, "What? Do I have something in my teeth?"
"Pinkie Pie..." Mrs. Cake said, worried. "Is your Cutie Mark supposed to do that?"
I then looked at my Cutie Mark, and saw it, not just glowing, but the smaller section of my glowing Cutie Mark was circling around my Cutie Mark. I was surprised to see what was happening, and I was starting to get worried. I then said, "I gotta go see Twilight! I'll be back as soon as I can!" I then bolted out of the door.
I ran all the way from Sugarcube Corner to the Castle of Friendship. Apparently, I wasn't the only pony who got that strange sensation. Around me, there was Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack.
"Y'all got the same thing as well?!" asked Applejack.
"Yeah!" said Rainbow Dash. "This is even bigger than any other thing we went through!"
"Oh, I hope this doesn't take too long," said Rarity. "I have a huge sale coming in in Manehattan, and I must attend it."
"I'm sure it won't take too long," said Fluttershy.
"I sure hope that Twilight knows what's going on," I said. We then ran into the castle, and there, in the throne room with Twilight and Spike. Twilight's mark was glowing the same way as ours, and Spike's spins were glowing back and forth on top of his head.
"Girls!" said Twilight.
"Twilight, what is happening?" I asked.
"I don't know," said Twilight. "I came here as soon as this was happening."
"This is getting freaky," said Spike.
Then the Cutie Map came up, and then the image of Equestria zoomed in at the middle of the Everfree Forest, and then to the Tree of Harmony.
"The Tree of Harmony?!" asked all seven of us.
"Why would the Map send us there?!" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know," said Twilight. "But we should get going there. Let's go."
We ran all the way from there to the Tree of Harmony. It was a wild run, but I'm sure that we'll make it there and back in time for me to prepare Scootaloo's birthday. But when we got there, we were surprised to see that the Tree of Harmony was glowing, and the Elements of Harmony were glowing brighter than usual.
"What's going on?!" asked Applejack.
"Sweet Celestia!" said Rarity. "The Tree of Harmony is reacting to something, isn't it?!"
"How is that possible?!" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Alright, everypony," said Twilight. "Let's approach it, carefully. We don't want anything bad to happen." But then, the Elements of Harmony shot a beam right towards us. Each Element hitting a beam straight at its bearer. But we all got knocked out. But when I was knocked out, it felt like my mind was being split in two. It was starting to hurt, but then... it stopped. But, I kept hearing a voice.
"Do not struggle, my little pony. It appears that there is a second life that you have, but have not gotten the chance to live it. You will get the chance now while your mind has been copied. Prepare to begin your new life."
I was waking up. I felt a blanket covering me. Although, I felt something off with me. I woke up and saw I was in a room that I did not recognize. I then sat up, but my positioning was weird. I looked at my hooves... only to see human hands.
"What on Earth?!" I asked. Then I got confused on what I said. "Earth? That's not right." I then started thinking to myself, "Why did I say Earth? I was supposed to say 'What in Equestria', but why did it come out like that? And why am I a human? I didn't do a Pinkie Pie swap with my other self through that mirror. Not after Twilight caught both of us coming in and out." I then looked around and saw the room. Sitting next the bed I was on was a bedside table. And on it was a picture of what I look like now, with a man and a female human, older than me. But this time, I didn't have the same kind of colored skin as my coat. The only color of my old body was my hair and my eyes. I looked at the photo, and got confused. Then I was interrupted by the woman in the photo coming into the room.
"Oh, good morning, sweetheart," said the woman. "Are you ready to leave for college?"
I was confused. I had no idea what a college was before. But now, I had thoughts of knowing what a college was. A school after High School that'll help people get a degree in something you want to do.
I was keeping her waiting, so I answered, "I guess so. I wouldn't want to rush it."
"I'm so happy that my little girl has grown up," said the woman, who apparently is my mother in this world. "Your father would be so proud of you for going to the University of San Diego. If only he was here to see you off. Now, in the shower, then get dressed. I prepared you a goodbye breakfast."
"Uh... Okay... Mom..." I said, nervously. All she did was smile at me, and head out of the room. I got out of bed, and got up. I looked at the end of the bed and saw some clothes prepared. I grabbed the spare set of clothes, and headed for the bathroom. I took a shower, thinking about how this world was working. Apparently, I knew a lot of things I didn't know before. I just got out of the shower, and then there was a knocking on the door. "Yeah?"
"Honey, your phone is ringing," said my "mother". "You should answer it. It's from one of those boys at the party you threw last night."
I then smirked and said, "Okay. Just crack the door and let me answer it." She then opened the door a little, held up my phone, I took it, and answered it after closing the door. "Hello?"
"Hey, Pinkie!" came a boy's voice. "It's Carl. Awesome party you threw last night!"
"Oh... uh... thanks," I told him. "I was just..."
"I just wish you wouldn't have to go, Pinks," said Carl on the phone, interrupting me. "Your parties are legendary! Wish you can stay and throw parties all day and all night."
"I'm... I'm sorry," said Pinkie. "But... I really have to go."
"Okay," said Carl. "Goodbye, Pinkie!" Then he hung up.
I then got dressed, and headed on out.
I walked out of there, and headed for the dining room to see my "Mom" setting a plate of pancakes on the table. She saw me coming and said, "There's my girl. I'm gonna miss you. All of Tuolumne County is going to be different when you leave."
"Y-yeah..." I said, nervously. "I know..."
"Honey, are you okay? Is something bothering you?" asked "Mom". "You can tell me."
"Well..." I said, thinking of something. "Let's just say... I had a weird dream."
"Oh, it's fine," said "Mom". "Just make me and your father proud. You're going to be one of the greatest event planners in the country. Have fun. I'll pack up your clothes, and... you'll be on your way. Good luck, Pinkie."
"Okay..." I said. I then started eating. And as soon as I finished, I got up, grabbed the plate, and headed over to the sink. "Mom" took the plate from me.
"Oh, don't worry, Pinkie," said "Mom". "I'll handle the dishes. You... you just get ready to leave for college." She was tearing up, then she pulled me in and she kissed my left cheek. "I love you, Pinkie." She then handed me some keys a bag of clothes. "Now, you head on out. Everybody's going to miss you." She then pushed me towards the front door, and outside was a bunch of people, which apparently, this me recognizes, but I don't know how I know them.
They were all congratulating me as I was being guided to a car with a moving trailer attached to the end. I gave off a huge grin just to blend in and not cause suspicion. And apparently, the car I was walking to was a red Ford Edge with stickers of blue and yellow balloons across the bottom edge.
I got into the car, and smiled at the people. I then started up the car, pulled out my phone, and then a reminder popped up on my phone, telling me to go to Pacific Ridge Apartments in San Diego. I got confused and then typed in the directions to where I have to go. On the map, it said that it was 454 miles away, and it would take about 7 1/2 hours to get there. I somehow knew how to drive this, and pulled out.
"Okay. Stay calm, Pinkie," I told myself. "All you have to do is get to this San Diego place, move in, start school there, and eventually find your friends. Hopefully, they're in this world, too." Then I got to thinking. "What if I don't find them?! What if I'm the only one in this world that made it?! I gotta find a way back to Equestria!"
I then came across an intersection with a red light. I then stopped. I then looked around at the area until the box in the passenger seat caught my attention. There was a photo there, or at least I saw the corner of the photo. I opened the box, grabbed that one photo, and saw a picture of me and five other girls. I gasped to see who those girls were. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
"They're... They're all here..." I said. I then smiled and said, "I can't believe it's been four years since I saw them at Camp Chewonki." I then remembered what I just said. "Camp... Chewonki? What? Wait a minute. Do I... know all of this me's... memories?" I then looked up and saw the light turn green. I then put the picture back in the box, and started driving off.
And as soon as I reached a town called Jamestown, I noticed that my car was running low on gas. I pulled into a Chevron. I filled up the gas tank, and then I wondered to myself, "Am I ever going to find them and a way home? I just hope that Twilight will be able to figure out what's happening." I finished filling up the gas tank. I then walked into the mini mart so I could get some snacks for the trip.
I came back to the car and saw the picture of my friends before starting the car. I then said, "If only I knew where in this world you girls are." I then put it back in the box, and headed back on the road. Hopefully, I can find out where they are.
