"Wait," Pinkamena said. "you brought her up earlier. She's my supposed Superego?" "Yup." Surprise answered "...Not sure how to react to this." "How did you get here, Surprise?!" Twilight asked. "I just walked with you through that portal." She answered with a smile. "This could be highly dangerous to Pinkie Pie!" Twilight shouted. "I don't feel any different." Pinkie Pie said. "Same." Pinkamena said. "Can I stay, Twilight? Please? Even just for a little while? Pretty please? I can help Pinkie readjust." Surprise puppy dog eyed. Twilight tried to resist. "No, it's far too risky." "C'mon. I can take over Pinkie's duties." "She has a point, Twilight." Mrs. Cake said. "Ponyville could use a Pinkie right now." "And Surprise really wants to hang out with ponies." Fluttershy brought up the obvious. "Yeah, c'mon." Surprise pleaded. Twilight was visibly thinking. "I any of you feel strange, just let me or the doctors know so they can tell me." "Yay." Surprise cheered. "She spawned from my head, and she has wings. Kinda jealous. " Pinkamena said quietly to herself. "So am I." Pinkie said. Twilight overheard that. 'They are getting along... This might be alright.' The past week went great, every cancelled party became un-cancelled. The bakery had a roommate and employee again. Both Pinkie's got a better with what little progress and the other Remane-ing 5 took a liking to Surprise. She was surprisingly more insightful than Pinkie, not to mention more rational. Not that's she'll replace Pinkie. Surprise also visited Pinkie and Pinkamena regularly. They actually all got along really well. Twilight thought of Surprise as a hybrid of Pinkie and Pinkamena, with wings. Twilight began speculating that Surprise was an another personality that just took the role of the SuperEgo. But there wasn't any real evidence to back it up. Surprise doesn't know much of an answer herself. How would she get out Pinkie's body? The book said the figure representing the owner of the mind you went in couldn't leave. Twilight had to study it later, she was too busy studying. But that didn't stop her from constantly thinking about it. 'We can't give them their own body. Then we take the they risk of leaving one without a Superego. And their Superego seems to like company. And they seem to do okay without Surprise. Why did Pinkie's mind have to be so unique? Normal minds don't represent themselves like this. It's usually supposed to be a lot more symbolic. If only those book gave more information on the subject.' About a week later... No major progress positively speaking. "Princess Twilight Sparkle!" A Ponyville hospital doctor said after he slammed the library door open. Twilight quickly lifted her gaze off her book at the doctor. "What is it?" She said ready for the worst or the best. "The Pinkie's mind seems to emulate an old grandma that's on the brink of dying. We still don't have the new professional employees you promised us. Surprise is already on her way! We need to hurry, let's run for it!" Twilight teleported. "Or you could do that..." Looking at Pinkie was surreal. he almost looked lifeless. "Surprise, quickly, into the portal." Surprise nodded and darted into the portal. Pinkie still looked a bit lifeless. "I feel like like I might die." Pinkamena said with difficultly, lying on a bed. "It should be okay now. I'm sure you'll will feel fine in a while." Twilight was in reality unsure. "Thank you. From both of us." She said before she conveniently fell unconscious. The Doctor checked her heartbeat. "She's still alive." The doctor said. "We'll send her to her room so she can recover from whatever this was." Later, at Sugarcube Corner, Twilight told Mr. and Mrs. Cake what happened at the hospital. (It took Mr. Cake twelve chapters before he actually made an appearance.) "I see. I hope the best for the poor dear...s." Mr. Cake said, he only had second hoof experiences in this. "I'm sure they'll be fine. I hope. I knew that Surprise being out of their body was a bad idea..." Twilight lamented. "It wasn't all bad. Everypony loved her presence." Mrs. Cake argued. "It was like meeting Pinkie for the first time again." Mr. Cake got nostalgic. "Thanks you for the croissant and tea, but I must go now. First thing tomorrow I'm going to see Pinkie." "Can we join? Or at the very least one of us." Mrs. Cake asked. Inside Pinkie's mind. The mansion was falling apart. The pink fillies were escaping and were almost to the exit, but Pinkamena found it necessary to to bump Pinkie against the wall. It made a piece of ceiling fall on both of them. Pinkie began screaming in pain. Pinkamena tried to keep her pain quiet. "Stupid karma." She hissed in pain. "HELP?! ANYPONY?! SUPEREGO?!" "Ohmygoshwhathappened?I'mherenow,I'llsaveyou!" Surprise lifted a the giant piece up enough so they could escape. But another piece fell. Only one managed to escape... At the hospital the next day. The Doctor slowly walked up to Twilight and the Cakes. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." "What is it Doctor?" Mr. Cake said concerned. "She's technically dead." "Technically?" Twilight and the cakes said in unison. "Only one of the personalities remains. It's... 1) Pinkie, the one we all know. 2) Pinkamena, the moody one. 3) Surprise, what she calls herself now anyways. She became a personality."
