//------------------------------// // The True Party Pony // Story: Pinkamena's Awakening // by Kingsley //------------------------------// Chapter 1: The True Party Pony BANG! BANG! BANG! Twilight jumped as she was awoken by someone who was banging quite loudly on her door. "Auggghh," Twilight groaned, pulling the covers over her head, trying to ignore whoever it was and go back to sleep. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! "Oh for the love of-- Spike! Spiiike!" Twilight yelled. "Spike, go downstairs and see who's at the door. All this banging is giving me a headache" "Ugh, alright alright... You don't have to yell you know, I do sleep right across from you" Spike said. Spike walked downstairs wearily, rubbing his eyes trying to wake up. BANG! BANG! BANG! "Alright alright enough with the banging I'm opening it n-" Spike said. Just as Spike was about to open the door, it flew open and whacked him right in the face, causing him to fly backwards into the bookshelves. Then their visitor trotted inside, it was Pinkie Pie of course, who else would be this energetic that early in the morning? "Twilight! Spike! Where are you guys! I'm throwing a party later today and you guys are invited!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Guys? GUYS WHERE ARE YOUUUUU?" Pinkie asked repeatedly. Spike emerged from the pile of books that had fallen form when he crashed into the bookshelves. "Ughh my head... oh it's you Pinkie Pie, I should have guessed it'd be you, you're the only one in Ponyville who is actually awake at this time anyway." Spike said. "Well duhh, how else could i get all my invitations out to everyone before the party started?" Pinkie said. "Oh! and by the way Spike, you really shouldn't be sleeping on the floor, it isn't the most comfortable spot to take a nap silly head!" "Thanks for the advice Pinkie, I don't know what I'd do without you," Spike said sarcastically "Spike! Spike! Are you alright? I heard a loud noise before and I thought you might be in trou-" Twilight said, running down the stairs. "Oh Spike what did you DO!?!?" "Wha? No! it wasn't me Twilight it was Pinkie Pie! She just ran in and pushed me into the bookshelf!" Spike said. "Hi Twilight! I want to tell you tha-" Pinkie said. "Not now Pinkie, give me a minute." Twilight demanded. "No excuses Spike, now clean up this mess right now and PLEASE be more careful next time." "Fine fine, no one ever listens to me around here..." Spike whispered to himself. "Alright now that that's taken care of, what brings you here so early Pinkie?" Twilight asked. "Well what I was going to say before is that you and Spike are invited to the party i'm throwing later today!" Pinkie said. "Oh a party? That sounds great! I've been researching on a few things now for the past few days and I could really use a break." Twilight said. "Great! Great! GREAT! Oh it's going to be so much fun! All our friends will be there to! Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Da- Ouch!" Pinkie said, grasping her head. "What's wrong Pinkie?" Twilight asked "Oh it's nothing, my head just hurts from time to time now for some reason, not sure why though... *Gasp* could it be that I've been lacking in eating sweets?" Pinkie said. "It must be! There's no other explanation!" "I'm pretty sure you've been eating enough sweets Pinkie" Twilight said. "If anything you've been eating too much..." "What was that Twilight?" Pinkie said. "Oh nothing, but anyway you should be careful, especially if it's been happening often now." Twilight said. "Okie Dokie Lokie!" Pinkie sang. "Well, after Spike finishes fixing all the books, we'll get ready to see you later." Twilight said. "Okay Twilight! Can't wait till then! Oh I know it's just going to be so much fu- Ouch!" Pinkie said. "Try to take it easy okay? We don't know how serious that headache is." Twilight said "Yea alright Twilight, see ya later!" Pinkie said, hopping out of the house. Pinkie went to all her friends houses and invited them as well, she then bounced back to Sugarcube Corner to get everything all set up for the party. -Later that day- Bang, Bang, Bang "Ohh! They're here! They're here!" Pinkie exclaimed. Pinkie bolted to the door after finishing up with the last of the decorations. "Hi everyone! Glad you could make it! This is going to be so much FUN!" Pinkie screamed "Aww shucks Pinkie Pie, you know we wouldn't have missed it for the world" Applejack said "Definitely! When Pinkie Pie throws a party, I'm always there!" Rainbow Dash said They all trotted in, everyone excited since Pinkie's parties are always a blast. "I must say Pinkie Pie, I absolutely love with what you did with the decor, it's just wonderful!" Rarity said "Oh Rarity thanks! I did spruce it up a bit from last time, this time I put more balloons and more streamers! I didn't think you would notice!" Pinkie said happily "Oh uh yes! Of course! That's exactly what i was talking about hehehe" Rarity said nervously "Oh um.. yes Pinkie.. It's.. really nice, and I'm sure we'll um.. have so much more fun now.." Fluttershy said quietly "Well come on everypony! What are we waiting for? LETS PAR- Ouch!" Pinkie said, grasping her head again. "Oh Pinkie, your still not feeling better? I told you to take it easy." Twilight said "Wait, what's wrong with Pinkie Pie?" Every other pony asked. "Gahh, it's nothing guys, it's just a little headache is all, I'm sure it's nothing serious... Ouch!" Pinkie squealed. "It looks like it's happening more frequent now, maybe we should reschedule this party for some other time and let you rest." Twilight suggested "WHAT? Reschedule one of my parties!? I could never do such a thing! especially when I put so much work into putting this one together!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Come on everyone, don't worry about me, I'll be fine! Lets all just enjoy ourselves now! "Well, if you say so Pinkie" Applejack said "Just don't get too crazy, okay Pinkie?" Twilight said "Yea yea alright Twilight, come on everyone! LETS PARTY!" Pinkie yelled Throughout the night, Pinkie had a constant headache, and it was getting worse every minute. -Later that night- "Woo! Man! That was great Pinkie! You really sure do know how to throw a good party!" Rainbow Dash said Every other pony agreed and they all had an amazing time. "Now remember Pinkie, please try and take it easy, rest for a while now, you need to give yourself a break." Twilight said worriedly. "Alright Twilight, I'll go to sleep now." Pinkie said. "But the minute I'm feeling better, lets have another party to celebrate my recovery!" "You really are something else Pinkie" Twilight sighed, and everyone else laughed in agreement. "Well see ya later Pinkie, feel better!" Fluttershy said. "Bye guys! Thanks for coming!" Pinkie exclaimed. Pinkie Pie shut the door and looked at the mess they made of the place. "I don't think Mr. and Mrs. Cake will mind, after all it was for my good friends!" Pinkie said. Pinkie trotted upstairs to her bedroom and started to get ready to go to sleep. "Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!" Pinkie cried, grasping her head tighter and tighter. "Dang, my head has been feeling worse and worse lately, hopefully with some sleep it'll stop eventually" Pinkie took a quick shower before heading to bed, hoping that the hot water would soothe the pain in her head, even if it was just a little bit, but she felt no different. The pain just kept getting worse and worse. "Argggh, Oh man this is killing me now! It feels like someone is drilling into my head and it's unbearable!" Pinkie yelled The pain kept intensifying until it finally reached it's peak, the pain was unfathomable. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Pinkie screamed. "MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!" And at that moment she felt a sharp snap in her head. "Huh?" Pinkie said Following the snap, the pain stopped, it stopped all together. She no longer felt the excruciating headache she was feeling before. "Wha.. What just happened.. my head.. it.. doesn't hurt anymore?" Pinkie questioned. "Hmmm... Oh well! At least that's over with! Time for bed!" As Pinkie laid her head down, she drifted off into sleep.. Then.. she started dreaming. -Unknown Realm- "Huh?" Pinkie said. "Wh- Where am I?" It was dark, dark all around, No light whatsoever to illuminate her way. Pinkie started to worry, she had no idea where she was, getting scared, she looked all around as hard as she could to see if there was even the slightest detail as to where she was, then she saw it. "What the?" Pinkie said. "Are those... chains?" Pinkie noticed that the entire area was surrounded by chains, it almost looked like some sort of prison. Pinkie focused more and looked around, until she noticed.. that there was something.. someone in the center of it all, where all the chains connected. It looked like all the chains met in one spot to form, what seemed to be, a coffin like figure, and underneath it. She saw it. She saw her. A pony with a mane just like hers, only darker and flowing down, covering half of her face. She also had no cutiemark, it was blank, nothing. Nothing at all. Pinkie was confused, and struck with fear, having no idea what's going on. Then the dark pony stood up, turned around, and looked straight at her. "Wha- What the? Pinkie said. ... "Hello there...Pinkie Pie.. and welcome.." The Dark Pony said "Finally... Why don't we have a little chat?..."
