Pinkie Pie looks around as best she could within the darkened tunnel, going the only direction she could.  "Hellllooooooooou? Hellll-looooo...  Twilight? Fluttershy? Come on, already guys!  This cave is totally UN-cool and I have a party in 5 hours-"

The tunnel she was walking down got misty. A dark misty.  Pinkie closed her eyes, raised her hoof, trying to avoid the coming darkness.  She felt the mist pass over her, with a soul chilling cold.  The earth pony eyes opened and brighten to the tunnel now being lit by torches.  She followed the torches, hopping, bouncing along the path.

"What makes you happy?" A mysterious voice asked.

"My friends," Pinkie Pie replied, "and making other ponies happy, silly! isn't that what is life all about? Being happy, and sharing awesome cakes and treats at cool parties-which I really need to get to, and-"

The Mysterious voice laughed softly ,filling the room with a light echo."Well, Happiness pony, you are invited to MY party.  Come... You are expected and most wanted.

The tunnel opens up into a room.  Balloons, cakes, music, candy.  Bright colored decorations, ornaments, hanging from tall structures.  There was arcade games, rides, toy vendors, filled with ponies.  Ponies mingling, laughing, talking, telling jokes, performing feats of daring.

Pinkie Pie slowly enters the celebration with widened eyes, mesmerized. "Oh..., oh, my.... All I ever dreamed....

"Yes, dear," 

the pink earth pony turns to a familiar and loving voice.  She is shocked and joyous to see her family.  Her mother Father and sisters. "Mo-...MOM?!"

"Me also, dear." Her father stated. "We are here to celebrate your talent of happiness, and giving Equestria joy with it.  Come, be with us my child."

"Yes, Pinkie, it's awesome you can do this for everypony, with your talents."  Her sister said.

"Oh... oh, my goodness, thank you..." Pinkie Pie said as her eyes started to fill with tears.

"Are you happy, Happiness pony?"  The disembodied voice asked.

Tears dropped from Pinkie Pie's eyes.  She smiled and nodded her head.

The crowd of ponies applauded her as she went deeper into the celebration space.  The room closes behind Pinkie Pie, but it goes unnoticed by her.  

Pinkie Pie is here... having fun and being fun....  

The entrance to the tunnel closes off.  Pinkie Pie's Cutie Mark emblem disappears.  The tunnel entrance, wiped clean.
