(SiC) Part 8 - They Will Know By Our Love

by Brian Jacko


Whacking is Magic

"Pinkie Pie, what are you doing!?" Twilight said as she watched her pink friend begin breathing very heavily as if she were in panic mode and was scratching at the floor furiously.

"Oh, my gosh, Twi! Something really, really, REALLY, huge has happened and I'm getting this crazy Pinkie sense right now. I have never felt anything like this before."

Twilight Sparkle summoned her special helmet that she wore just in case anything would fall on her head from above. She cowered under a table and looked at her friends. "You girls might want to take cover. Pinkie Pie is REALLY going berserk right now."

Pinkie Pie's tail jolted straight up and she lifted her front hoof like how a dog points with their paw. "We have to go!"

"Go where?" Rarity asked.

"I don't know, but we have to just go, or I'll go even more crazy than I already am!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Alright, sugar cube. We'll go. Come on, Twi, we need to find out what all this fuss is about," Applejack said.

Twilight Sparkle gulped and made sure to fasten the straps of her helmet tightly under her chin.

Pinkie Pie bucked the door open and ran out.

"I uh, think we'd better follow her, Twi. Did ya remember to keep any matches out of sight? We don't need her to go burnin' the town down in her manic state. We don't want no Pyro Pie to happen."

Twilight Sparkle looked at a safe nearby and said, "I keep all of my matches in that safe to be.....safe." Twilight Sparkle face hoofed and said, "No pun intended. I must be having too much Pinkie Pie on the brain."

"Let's not stand around, girls. We need to keep up with her," Rarity said as she walked quickly out the door.

Applejack and Twilight Sparkle chased after Rarity.

The ponies watched Pinkie Pie as they ran after her. Pinkie Pie would dig a hole into the ground and then pop back out of the ground several feet away from where she first dug. She did this very quickly and she looked as if she were some kind of dolphin that would leap into the air. She did this so fast that her friends were still running to keep up with her.

"How much sugar did ya eat, Pinkie Pie? Yer out of yer mind right now!" Applejack yelled out when Pinkie Pie went air borne again.

"I didn't have any sugar! I told you that this is a Pinkie sense and it's driving me bonkers!" Pinkie Pie said. Pinkie Pie landed back on the ground and dug furiously again.

"Sorry fer askin! Just don't get mad and replace us with turnips again," Applejack said.

"Or bags of flour," Rarity added.

The ponies were now miles away from Twilight's library.

"Good gravy! Look at her go! It's almost as if somepony lit a fire under her rear end. Shucks! I bet I could have tried to herd her to my farm and let her dig holes in the ground in order to plant my seeds."

"We should just be grateful that so far, she hasn't been digging any holes into any ponies properties. I can't imagine the cost of the damage that she'd do since it would devalue the value of their homes,"

"We could always put Rarity in front of pony's homes if that ever happened," Applejack said.

"What good would that do?" Twilight asked.

"I thought that Rarity increases the worth and value of everythin' bein' that she's so fashionable. Why, just her standin' there should increase property value, right?"

"Um, no, Applejack. I don't think that would work," Twilight said.

"But it could..."

"No!" Twilight said. "Let's just focus on Pinkie Pie right now. I'm getting out of breath here. I don't even know how she's not getting exhausted."

"She's Pinkie Pie and she does things that can't be explained," Rarity said.

"I need to keep reminding myself that," Twilight said.

The ponies eventually made it to Fluttershy's cottage.

Pinkie Pie continued to dig random holes and pop out of the ground else where all around Fluttershy's cottage.

"Pinkie Pie!" Twilight shouted. "Stop digging this instant! You're ruining Fluttershy's property!

"Pinkie Pie popped out of the earth and said, "I can't stop it, Twilight! Pinkie Pie had no where else to go. Her Pinkie senses told her that this was her destination to be. She began running through the holes and hopping in and out of them from one hole to another.

"If you don't sit your flank still, then I will make you," Twilight said. She used her magic to summon a giant magical mallet. She waited for Pinkie Pie to pop up and then sent the mallet crashing down.

"Hey! Don't hit me," Pinkie Pie yelled out as she ducked back down to avoid the mallet. She popped out of another hole and Twilight tried to hit her again.

"Will you stop running around and making a mess out of everything if I stop trying to whack you?" Twilight asked.

"I can't control my urges," Pinkie said.

"Then I'm going to whack you," Twilight said as she tried to whack the pink pony again.

"Whoa there partner. I reckon that whackin' hyperactive ponies, sufferin' with mental disorders, with a giant magical mallet to get them to calm down is just a wee bit on the unethical side, no?" Applejack asked. "Didn't ya used to tell me that yer parents used to love to play this game with ya at the arcade? I reckon that video games really do cause ponies to behave in a violent manner. This would be 'bout as unethical as me sellin' non-organic produce."

"The last thing we need for her to do is to destroy Fluttershy's cottage that you and your family had rebuilt for Fluttershy after it burnt down. Pinkie Pie has already ruined her front lawn. Getting hit with this won't hurt, but it will knock her out without any pain because I casted an extra special spell on top of this spell." Twilight paused and then added, "I at least hope that I remembered the correct spell. Anyway, that's besides the point. She told me that her dentist hits her over the head with a wooden mallet because no matter how hard they try to sedate her, she never falls asleep and they can't get her flank to sit still in the chair."

"Wow, that's really an unethical business practice right there, Twi," Applejack said.

"Well, you just try to imagine working on her teeth while she wiggles her flank around in the chair and doesn't stop talking." Twilight tried to whack Pinkie Pie again, but missed.

"Now that I think about it, I would whack her too if I were her dentist. I feel sorry fer that poor dentist. I guess that they have to go to extreme measures when it comes to ponies like Pinkie Pie," Applejack said.

"That's basically what Pinkie Pie told me when she said that she had about twenty cavities filled in one visit." Twilight tried once again to hit her and missed. "I just can't hit her. Be still Pinkie Pie!"

Fluttershy came around the corner with Angel Bunny. She was pulling him on a leash and he had four roller skates on his paws. She dragged him along for a walk because he was too stubborn to move and Fluttershy remembered that it's ok to be assertive with him. She stood there in shock as she watched Twilight Sparkle try to whack Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy dropped the leash and tried not to fall into any holes in the ground as she approached her friends. "Um, Twilight what happened to my lawn and why are you trying to whack Pinkie Pie with a giant magical mallet? That seems rather violent and unethical."

"Applejack just said that not too long ago. Don't worry, I won't hurt her....I think."

Soarin' and Rainbow were now approaching Fluttershy's cottage.

"Hey soarin', do these pain killers that I take make ponies hallucinate?" Rainbow asked.

"No, Dash. Why would you ask that?" Soarin' asked.

"Because it appears to me that my friends are outside of Fluttershy's cottage and Twilight Sparkle looks as if she is literally playing whack-a-mole with Pinkie Pie being the mole."

"Huh?" Soarin' squinted his eyes and could see what she was talking about. "I uh, don't think that's the pain killers that's making you see things, Dash. I see it too, and it really does look as if that's what's going on."

Soarin' and Rainbow Dash eventually came up from behind Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

Pinkie Pie saw Rainbow Dash and yelled out, "Dashie! Help! Twilight's trying to kill me!"

"See, now you're talking crazy again. Rainbow Dash isn't here right now and you need to calm down!" Twilight yelled.

"Uh, Twi, What's going on, and why does Fluttershy's lawn look as if some dog was given a bunch of bones and went on a burrowing rampage?"

"Oh, you really are here, Rainbow Dash," Twilight said without turning to look. She was very focused on whacking Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie is just acting insane and she has ruined Fluttershy's property. I can't get her to sit still or calm down!"

"Wow, that seems really kind of unethical to hit a pony like that in order to calm them down," Rainbow said.

"That's funny," Twilight said. "Applejack and Fluttershy suggested the same thing."

"So why is Pinkie Pie going nuts like this, anyway?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh, she said that she had some kind of really new bizarre Pinkie sense going on. She said that she hasn't felt anything like this before and she was digging holes in the ground like a mad filly. I assume that some kind of really important thing has happened."

"Actually, yea," Rainbow Dash said. "Me and Soarin' are getting married."

Twilight stopped trying to whack Pinkie Pie and turned around. "You're getting what?"

"We're getting married," Rainbow Dash said again.

"Congratulations!" Everypony said and let out a cheer as they stomped their hooves against the ground in celebration.

Pinkie Pie heard that and dug furiously into the ground. She popped out right in front of Rainbow Dash and startled her. Clumps of dirt fell off of Pinkie Pie's mane as she threw her front legs around Rainbow Dash. "Oh, Dashie! That's it!"

"That's what?" Rainbow Dash nervously asked. She was silently hoping that Pinkie Pie wouldn't crush her bones during this hug.

Pinkie Pie let go of her and sat down in front of Rainbow Dash. "My Pinkie sense! It's all gone now. That must have been the major event that happened! Oh, this is so wonderful! You'll be the very first pony out of our group to get married! Oh, I cant' wait until I get to hear those wedding bells! I'm going to throw a super duper epic Pinkie Pie party and...."

"Pinkie," Rainbow Dash interrupted.

"And there's going to be lots and lots of games like pin the tail on the pony, music, food, and..."

"Pinkie," Rainbow Dash interrupted again.

"And you're going to have many foals so that I can plan and throw even more birthday parties and..."

"PINKIE!"

"Oh, I'm sorry did you want to say something?" Pinkie asked.

"You need to calm down, and Soarin' and I aren't planning to have foals any time soon after marriage. You have to let us go at our own pace."

Twilight Sparkle smiled a sinister grin as she took the hovering mallet in the air and grabbed onto it with her two front hooves. Twilight put the mallet very close to Pinkie Pie's head and then pulled it back in order to give her one great big whack on the back of the head.

"Now, now, Twilight," Rarity said. Her Pinkie sense is over. I think that you're just being cruel now by wanting to whack her. I know that it's tempting and I'd like to whack her a few times myself, but maybe you could just let it go now."

Twilight sighed and used her magic to make the magical mallet disappear. "It's really tempting to give her one good whack after all of the destruction that she has done." Twilight turned to Fluttershy and said, "I'm really sorry that Pinkie Pie got out of control and totally ruined your yard. I don't even know how we can fix this."

Fluttershy looked at the destruction and smiled. "Actually, Pinkie Pie did me a huge favor."

"Huh? How does having a pony destroy your yard do you a favor?" Twilight asked.

"Look again," Fluttershy said.

Twilight looked and saw a family of moles waving to them.

"Pinkie Pie just gave my mole friends and other animal critter friends better and safer options to escape from nasty predators like Timber Wolves who lurk around here looking to devour my little friends. I live on the outskirts of the Everfree forest, so I constantly have to keep watch over my critter friends much like how a shepherd keeps watch over his flock of sheep."

"Wow, well, I guess Pinkie Pie did a wrong thing right! At least you're not angry about all of this," Twilight said.

Fluttershy turned to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, why did your Pinkie sense make you do all that digging?"

"I don't know," Pinkie said. "Maybe I was digging because I felt that Soarin' and Rainbow Dash were digging super deep into their special relationship today."

"That's really sweet," Fluttershy said.

"Or maybe that it was just a random Pinkie sense that made absolutely no sense at all. That can happen too sometimes."

"We'll stick with the first option," Fluttershy said.

"I'm sorry for being a bit pushy, but do you have any plans on finding somepony who can help design your dress?" Rarity asked.

"We were just discussing this matter on our way here, Rarity," Rainbow said. "We didn't even have to think about it really. We want to work with the best of the best."

"So, you're going to Canterlot, I assume?" Rarity asked.

"No way! We want to work with you! We want you to design our wedding attire. You are the best in the business, Rarity. You're just underrated, that's all."

Rarity clapped her two front hooves with delight. "Oh, my stars! This is going to be one of the best days of my life! One of my most beloved sister's in Christ is getting married!" Rarity began giggling rapidly, much like how Pinkie Pie would normally giggle.

"Wow, Rarity. I never heard you giggle so rapidly before. I'm really happy that you're more than willing to work with us. You're the very first pony who popped into both of our minds and you did such an excellent job on my Wonderbolt's uniform. Soarin' told me that you designed this new one here in this box for me. It's lovely, Rarity. You pour blood, sweat, and tears into your work."

"A lady, does not sweat!" Rarity said as she turned her head upwards away from her.

"It's just a figure of speech," Rainbow Dash said.

Pinkie Pie bounced up and down. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Can I please help out in some way?"

"Pinkie Pie, Twilight really needs to let you drink out of a bottle of Lithium, but to answer your question, the answer is yes. I'd really like all of my sisters in Christ to help out with the wedding in their own personal ways."

"So can I make the cake and plan the party?!"

"Yes, Pinkie, I don't think any pony is more qualified to do that task than you."

"I can help make all of the food, and prepare the meals," Applejack said.

Rainbow Dash nodded her head ok.

"Um, would it be ok, if I prepare my song birds to sing wedding music for you both?" Fluttershy asked.

"That would be awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Your song birds helped me fall asleep so much more quickly when they sung their sweet songs for me."

One of Fluttershy's song birds, Melody, popped out of Fluttershy's pink mane and sang a little tune.

"Oh, Melody. I didn't even realize that you were still in there. You do know I have to take showers and wash my mane every once in a while. I don't want you to get too comfy in there."

Melody chirped loudly.

"Wow, Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash said. "I remember that you had some sanitary problems when you were addicted to hoarding things, but I really hope that you'll at least wash your mane for my big day. I don't need you stinking like that one time at the gym when Applejack's smell could practically permeate through the walls of the building."

"Hey!" Applejack said. "It wasn't that bad!"

"Um, Melody. May I please wash my mane on the night before Rainbow Dash's wedding?" Fluttershy asked.

Melody chirped again.

"She says ok," Fluttershy said.

"I really hope that your bird will let you wash your mane before that too," Rainbow said.

Melody chirped once more.

"Melody says that she can't make any promises on that," Fluttershy said.

"I guess that you know me by now," Twilight said. "I'd like to be in charge by supervising and making sure that everything is going according to plan."

"So yer job is to sit back and watch everypony else work, huh? I reckon ya should stop by my farm and try buckin' apple trees and liftin' crates with me all day WITHOUT usin' yer magic."

"Supervising is a serious job and I must constantly watch out for any mistakes that may happen. You do know that I'm very obsessive about organization and have a bit of obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm not going to be just watching one pony work here. I have an entire wedding to supervise! I must make sure that everything goes as planned."

"Have you two ever thought about where you're going to have your wedding? I would hope that it would be in Canterlot," Rarity said.

"Oh, we won't be having it on the ground. It's traditional for Pegasus ponies to get married in the sky," Rainbow said.

"Shoot! I really was hoping that you'd go for something more fancy like having your wedding in Canterlot. How are we even going to attend a wedding in the sky?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow winked at Twilight and said, "We have at least one smarty pants who knows how to cast a cloud walking spell for unicorns and earth ponies. We'll also get you up there by means of a hot air balloon. You won't be too scared of being high up in Cloudsdale again, right Fluttershy?"

"Um, I'll try to be brave," Fluttershy said.

Melody chirped loudly.

"I'm not a chicken, Melody," Fluttershy said. "I'm just a pony, and a little shy one at that."

Melody burrowed deep inside her mane and hid.

"Um, is anypony hungry for dinner?" Fluttershy asked.

All of her friends agreed except for Soarin'. He was terrified of eating at Fluttershy's cottage.

"Maybe we could get some take-out? I'll treat you all to whatever you want," Soarin' said.

"That's really nice of you," Twilight said. "Why don't we get oriental instead of p..."

"Pizza!" Pinkie Pie blurted out. "We want pizza again!"

"I uh," Twilight said. "We seem to eat a lot of pizza now a days. Shouldn't we take a break and eat something else?"

"Nope! Pizza makes great party food and I just love pizza parties," Pinkie Pie said. "Pizza is such a fun food and I know that you all love fun and pizza!"

"I think we need to change her name to Pizza Pie instead of Pinkie Pie," Applejack said. "We could call her all kinds of names of pies."

"How about cutie pie, Applejack?" Pinkie Pie asked with a wink. "Am I a cutie pie too? When I wink at you, am I a Winky Pie?"

"Uh, I reckon that's kind of weird to me," Applejack said. "Don't start gettin' funny with me again. Ya'll know that I don't like that kind of behavior."

Pinkie Pie hopped onto Applejack's back and said, "How about me and Applejack get together and we can combine our names so that we can be called Apple Pie?! We might sound delicious to Soarin' and he might gobble us up."

Applejack bucked Pinkie Pie off of her back. "Absolutely not! Yer bein' weird again!"

Soarin' let out a little giggle at the joke. He really loved his apple pies.

"What if we put me and Scootaloo inside of a pot?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"What does that even mean?" Rarity asked.

"Well, duh! You would get a chicken pot pie!" Pinkie Pie said.

"That's totally uncalled for Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's really mean and I hope you know that the bullies in her school call her chicken."

"Well, she does kind of seem like a chicken to me," Pinkie Pie said.

"Not funny," Rainbow said.

"I'm sorry," Pinkie Pie said as she put her head down low. She perked up again and asked, "Do you all want to hear some more Pinkie Pie jokes and puns? I have so many Pinkie Pie puns."

"I think that's enough pie puns for now my dear," Rarity said. "You don't want to kill us with all of your little Pinkie puns. Why don't we get back on topic and discuss what we are going to do for dinner."

"Well, this is kind of Rainbow Dash and Soarin's big celebration announcement," Twilight said. "Why don't we let them decide what they want to eat since Soarin' is paying as well."

"Go on, Dash. You decide what you want to eat," Soarin' said.

Pinkie Pie began jumping up and down. "Pizza! Pizza! Pi..."

Applejack shoved an apple into her mouth.

"Mmmmmmph! Mmmmmph!" Pinkie Pie struggled to speak with the piece of fruit shoved tightly into her mouth.

Rainbow Dash sat there in thought. "Wow, this is going to sound nuts, but I really feel like eating pizza again. Pinkie Pie's right, pizza really is such an awesome food."

"That's odd, Twilight said. I suddenly feel like eating pizza too."

The rest of the ponies agreed.

Pinkie Pie pumped her front hoof in the air. "Yes!"

Twilight looked suspiciously at Pinkie Pie and asked, "You're not messing around with us and using some kind of mind control tactics to make us want to eat what you want to eat, are you, Pinkie Pie?"

"Uh, no........comment. No comment, Twi." Pinkie Pie said.

"Hey, Twi," Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't you take that silly looking helmet off of your head now?"

Twilight rolled her eyes up and looked at the helmet. "Oh, that might be a good idea." She unstrapped the helmet and took it off of her head.

The moment she did that, a box fell from the sky and landed on her head.

"Ow!" Twilight rubbed the back of her head with her front hoof and then looked at Pinkie Pie with anger. "Why the hay didn't you admonish me about something falling from the sky!?"

"Well, my tail was twitching a little bit, but it wasn't anything major, Twilight. You acted like an anvil fell on your head. Maybe that might teach you not to pretend that I'm some kind of pink mole that you want to whack. Whacking isn't magic, friendship is."

"Ok, perhaps I took things a bit too far. I am sorry, Pinkie Pie. I was just terrified that you might destroy Fluttershy's cottage." Twilight looked at the sky in hopes to see where this box had fallen from, but she did not see anything. She looked back down at the box and asked, "I wonder what's inside this box?"

"Don't touch it!" a voice came from behind the ponies. A grey Pegasus ran at full speed over to the box and wrapped her front legs around it.

"Hi, Derpy," Twilight said. "I'm sorry that you dropped this box. I hope there wasn't anything fragile inside of it."

"Only the most precious jewels are inside this box!" Derpy cried out.

"I'm so sorry," Twilight said. "I hope that the jewels didn't break, although I would imagine a box that large, full of jewels, would have nearly killed me. It didn't feel that heavy."

"They aren't jewels, but they are my jewels," Derpy said.

"What do you mean by that?" Twilight asked.

"They are filled with muffins. My most favorite kind too! This is part of my pay check."

"Ya get paid partly in muffins?" Applejack asked. "Goodness, that's a bit weird, but then again, I could see myself workin' and gettin' paid with apples, especially organic Gala apples."

Derpy opened the box and looked inside. "My.....muffins. They are broken into pieces. My heart....it hurts. Please pray for me. I am so sad."

"Awwww, we're sorry you're having a real literal crumby day, Derpy," Pinkie Pie said. "Maybe you could take that entire box of crumby muffins, and put it into a blender and make a super special muffin shake!"

Derpy perked up at the thought of that idea. "Wow! That sounds super delicious!" Derpy grabbed the box and flew off quickly.

"Don't forget to take the muffins out of the box and not put the box in the blender!" Pinkie Pie shouted, but Derpy did not hear her. Pinkie Pie turned to her friends and asked, "Do you think she'll know what to do?"

Twilight Sparkle had an unsure look on her face. "I can only hope so, but there was that one time when she told me that she tried to cook herself some breakfast by pouring milk onto her cereal in a bowl, and the cereal caught fire."

"Wow, how does that happen?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I don't know, but it sounds like something that would happen to you, Pinkie Pie," Twilight answered.

"Hey! That doesn't happen to me!" Pinkie Pie tapped her two front hooves together in a guilty manner and said, "Well, not very often at least. The only thing I can do right is bake and pouring cereal is something I have yet to master. Mister and Misses Cake have some really odd stories about me." Pinkie Pie perked up and said, "That doesn't matter! What matters is that it's pizza time!"

Twilight Sparkle used her magic to summon a quill and a scroll. "Ok, ok, ok. Calm down. I guess that we are all getting the usual? Let me just get this straight. One pie for me. One pie for Pinkie Pie. One pie for Rarity and Fluttershy to share." Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash and Soarin'. How many pies do you want, Rainbow, and what about you, Soarin'?"

"I know that I shouldn't be eating too much, but all of this rehabilitation work and pain makes me so darn hungry. I'll take two pies. I just hope that I don't get flabby flanks," Rainbow said.

"And I'll take three pies," Soarin' said. He looked around in a guilty manner and said, "Can you also please put down an order for an apple pie?"

"Soarin'!" Rainbow Dash said. "I can't believe you're going to eat another apple pie! Don't you still have an apple pie in the refrigerator?"

"Oh, I'll get to that, Dash. Trust me."

"And I was the one complaining about getting flabby flanks! You're going to get flabbier flanks than me if you keep eating apple pies like that!" Rainbow said.

"I burn it all off," Soarin' said. He put his head down lower and admitted, "But I know that eating all of that sugar is not that great for me. I'll try not to eat so much later on. I don't want to have to retire from being a Wonderbolt too soon because of excessive apple pie eating."

Twilight Sparkle jotted that all down and said, "Ok, so that's it everypony?"

"Hey!" Applejack cried out. "Ya'll forgot about me!"

"Oh, I thought I was going to share a single slice of pizza with you, since we discussed the value of you fasting," Twilight said.

"Very funny, Twi. Yer a real funny gal. I want eight boxes of pizza, and make sure that it's whole wheat and organic with organic gala apples on top!"

"Eight boxes, Applejack? Isn't that a bit excessive?" Twilight asked.

"No! I'm bein' humble by cuttin' back from ten boxes to eight. Ya'll should understand how hard that is fer me."

"Well, at least you're cutting back," Twilight said. "So eight boxes of pizza for Applejack with organic gala apples of course."

Soarin' bent down close to Rainbow's ear and whispered. "Eight boxes of pizza for a single pony? I think I'm going to need to take out a loan just for Applejack's order. Remind me not to offer to treat again if she's with us. I'm going to be broke."

Rainbow giggled and said, "I told you that she could shame you and put you under the table when it comes to eating. Earth ponies tend to eat more and Applejack has an appetite of an Ursa Major."

"But she's not even fat or bulging with muscles. Where does she put it all?" Soarin' asked.

Rainbow Dash shrugged and said, "She has an incredibly strong looking appearance and her body is solid like a rock. I guess Applejack's appetite is like Pinkie Pie's tricks. We can't figure either of them out."

Twilight Sparkle finished jotting down the order and sent the order away to their most favorite pizza shop.

"Well, it's such nice weather today, maybe we could have a picnic and eat outside," Twilight suggested.

"Oh, no!" Pinkie Pie yelled out. She turned her flank to Twilight and cried out, "Twitchy tail! Twitchy tail, big time!"

Twilight Sparkle went into panic mode and grabbed her helmet. She put it back on her head and ran into Fluttershy's house."

Pinkie Pie threw herself to the ground and began to laugh hysterically.

"Um, shouldn't we be concerned about your twitchy tail, Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy asked.

Pinkie Pie stopped giggling and said, "Nope! I was just messing with Twi. It's fun to play pranks on ponies!"

"We might as well go inside and wait for the pizza," Rarity said.

Suddenly, an anvil fell from the sky and landed directly where Twilight Sparkle was standing before.

"I thought that you said that you were pranking us with your Pinkie sense," Rainbow Dash said.

Pinkie Pie stood there dumb founded. "Wow, I made believe that I was having a Pinkie sense, but I guess it just happened to be real. What are the chances!?"

"I guess yer pranks saved Twilight's life. It's kind of funny how things work out with you. Ya just never know what will happen with Pinkie Pie," Applejack said. "Come on, let's go in and tell Twilight what happened."

The ponies followed Applejack inside.

Fluttershy grabbed Angel Bunny's leash and dragged him inside. The little wheels on the roller skates squeaked loudly.

He was not a very happy bunny.

A giant purple Pegasus stallion with a pink tail and mane flew down and scooped up the anvil. "Shhh," he said to the inanimate object. "I'm sorry that I dropped you, but Bubba is here for you and will carry you home." The stallion flew away with the anvil. There was a small crater in the ground from where he picked it up.
