//------------------------------// // Why are these ponies so freakishly freakish? // Story: Pinkie's Adventure in G3 Ponyville! // by That_G3_Obsessive //------------------------------// "Twilight! Twilight! I have a favor to ask you!" yelled Pinkie Pie to her friend. The light pink earth pony was bouncing through the streets as usual, but when she caught sight of Twilight Sparkle, a purple and magenta unicorn, she sped up to a gallop. "Pinkie Pie!" greeted Twilight. "What is it? Do you want to borrow that book about party ponies in history again?" "No, Twilight!" Pinkie was urgent. "I have a favor to ask you! It's SUPER-DUPER important!" "What can I do for you?" Twilight smiled at the pony's crazy antics. "Could you open a magic portal to another world for me?" Pinkie exclaimed. "What?" Twilight's mouth fell open. "Why?" "Because I really really REALLY..." she took a deep breath for effect. "...feel like it!" she finished. "I'm sorry, Pinkie," the unicorn sighed. "I'll need a better reason than that to open a magic portal for you." "Please?" "No." "Please?" "No." "Please?" "No." "PLEASE?!?" "NO!!!" "PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP?!?!?" "FOR THE LAST TIME, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight was fuming now. "Please?" Pinkie gave Twilight a poor-lost-sad-puppy-dog-look until Twilight sighed. "Ugh, fine," she groaned. "Just will you stop being so annoying?" "Yippee!!!" Pinkie did a cartwheel when she got her way. Works every time. "Now Pinkie Promise you'll do it." "Ugh, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," Twilight groaned. "Now can we just get this over with?" The two ponies walked towards the Golden Oaks Library, Twilight sighing every two seconds. Pinkie didn't care. She was going to another world! "Ok, Pinkie," sighed Twilight again as they walked in. "I have to set a few rules first." "Ok," she grinned, not really listening to what Twilight was saying. "First, you will not go in until I say so," Twilight started. "Yep." "Second, I don't know where this will go, so make sure you remember where the portal is located so you can get back." "Yep." "And the most important of all, if you are not back in twelve hours, I will come looking for you. Got that?" Twilight finished. "Yep." Pinkie blinked. "Can I go now? Please, please, please?" "Were you listening to anything I was saying?" Twilight was outraged. "Nope!" Pinkie hopped around the room looking at everything. "I'm not going to open the portal if you don't listen!" Twilight snapped. "You Pinkie Promised!" shouted Pinkie. Her face started to flush red with rage. "Fine! Fine!" Twilight didn't want to break her promise. She'd seen what the pony would do if anypony broke a Pinkie Promise. She shuddered at the thought of what had almost happened to Applejack. "I'll do it!" "Yay!" she went back to her bouncing while Twilight concentrated on a single spot on the floor. Her horn started to glow, and her face was beaded with sweat. Suddenly a section of the floor opened into a hole that dropped straight out of the sky. Twilight didn't notice that at first, she was too busy sustaining the spell. "Pinkie Pie!" she shouted. "You can go through now!" "Whoopee!" The earth pony jumped straight through the hole, and as Twilight skillfully transferred the stream of magic to one of the many magic-holders kept around the room, she collapsed. "That should hold for about fifteen hours," she approximated. "I hope Pinkie will be okay." * * * Pinkie was falling. As the wind whipped her curly pink mane across her face, she spotted really bright colors coming from below her. Pinks, blues, greens, yellows... all too bright to look at. She spotted hearts everywhere, but that was all she saw. Soon the earth pony realized that the air was being ripped from her lungs, and she couldn't breathe. She started panicking, and her tail started twitching. Her Pinkie Sense was telling her that something was going to fall. Pinkie had a nagging feeling that something was her. She flailed her hooves around wildly, but nothing slowed her decent. All she could do was watch as the lights got slowly closer, and closer... THUMP. Pinkie saw a pair of small purple wings and a magenta eye, before her decent was slowed. "Rainbow Dash?" she wondered out loud. Rainbow had magenta eyes. Wait. Rainbow didn't have purple wings. She had cyan-blue ones. So who was holding her up? "No, I'm Starsong!" her savior nearly whispered. Maybe it was Fluttershy? No, Fluttershy was yellow, not purple. And who was Starsong? "Rainbow Dash is down on the ground in Ponyville. How did you get all the way up here?" she asked. "I know all the ponies in Ponyville, but I've never heard of a Starsong before!" exclaimed Pinkie as they touched down. "I've lived in Ponyville for years," said Starsong. "Who are you?" "I'm Pinkie Pie," Pinkie stated. She was too busy staring at Starsong to say it in her usual peppy voice. Her savior was a lavender pegasus with slightly darker wings and a magenta mane and tail. But that wasn't the weirdest thing about her. Her face was deformed and ugly, like some of the goofy faces Pinkie Pie made at Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake when their parents were too busy working. It was scary, even. "My best friend's name is Pinkie Pie," Starsong's freakish face made an expression that could only be described as confusion. "Why is your face so freakishly freakish?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Were you in an accident when you were a filly, or what?" Then Pinkie realized that all of the ponies had those faces. They were all staring at her, like she was the mutant here. "Hello!" called a sugery, sweet voice. All the misshapen ponies turned their heads to see a bright pink pony with Pinkie's cutie mark. "My name's Pinkie Pie, and-" she was cut off as her mouth dropped open when she saw Pinkie. The earth pony didn't get why all the ponies were staring at her. She looked down and saw her normal self. "Are you the other me?" she opened her mouth without even thinking about what she was saying. "Or maybe I'm the other other me, and then you're the other other other me, and then I'm the other other other other me, and..." she trailed off at all of the ponies staring. "Why are you staring at me? I'm perfectly normal," she said. "I've never seen such large mass deformity though. Did you all get dropped on your head when you were a filly? I don't mean to be rude, but you all look so weird! I never thought the other world would be a misshapen Ponyville, more like I get turned into an alpaca or something..." she kept rambling while the pink pony walked up to Pinkie. "Who are you?" She said simply. "I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie jumped. "No, I'm Pinkie Pie," the pink pony looked confused, but that just made her look even more creepy, if that was possible. "No, silly, I am," Pinkie laughed. "No, I am," argued Pinkie Two. "I am!" "I am!" "I am!" "Darlings, darlings, why don't you stop arguing and make nice!" a blue pony with a rainbow mane and tail came through. "And you, darling," she turned to Pinkie. "Why don't you be a darling and explain why you think you're Pinkie Pie, darling, and where you came from?" "My name is Pinkie Pie and I'm from Ponyville!" she started. "Only not this Ponyville, a Ponyville from another world!" All the ponies oohed at that. "My best friends are Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack, and Twilight used her magic to make me a portal to another world because I really wanted to, and OH, THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!" she shrieked. "I never knew that the other me would be so annoying," muttered the other Pinkie. "Funny, that's just what Twilight said," Pinkie stroked an invisible beard with her hoof. "Anyway, the portal's just up there..." she looked up. Where was the portal? "It's gone!" "You can stay with me," said the other Pinkie. "You can stay as long as you want!" Pinkie could only gape at the sky as the ponies led her to a bright pink house. It was in the shape of a giant heart, and when Pinkie looked around, all she could see were houses shaped as house-hold objects and decorated with loud colors and bright flowers. There was a bright pink castle with balloons and hearts all around it. "Why is this universe so girly and stupid?" she spoke her mind without thinking again. She turned her head straight into the creepy smile of a pony. She screamed and scrambled away. Would she have to deal with this freaky-ness forever?
