//------------------------------// // Chapter IV // Story: Quantum Pink // by DigiDuncan //------------------------------// Spike rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and bounced out of bed, eager to see how Pinkie Pie was doing. Walking down the stairs, he noticed Pinkie’s sofa-bed disheveled. He walked into the kitchen to find Twilight on top of Pinkie on the floor, and the kitchen filled top to bottom with waffles. “Am I… walking in on something?” questioned Spike worriedly. Twilight quickly jumped off Pinkie and stood upright on all fours. “This looks really awkward, but trust me, it’s just as weird for me too.” “I’ll take your word for it. Are we inviting all of Ponyville over for breakfast?” “We’re going to have to, at this rate. Pinkie Pie went on an uncontrollable cooking frenzy starting early this morning. We now have 700 waffles kicking around.” Pinkie Pie giggled nervously. “Te prometo que no tenía intención de hacer que muchos gofres.” Pinkie Pie covered her mouth in shock. “¿Por qué estoy hablando en otro idioma?” she questioned. “¿Puede alguno de ustedes entender lo que estoy diciendo, o no? ¡Ayuda!” Spike held in his oncoming laughter. “Twilight,” Spike said under chuckles, “I think Pinkie is speaking Spanish.” He burst out laughing. “¡Sí! Eso es correcto! Español!” confirmed Pinkie Pie. “This is no laughing matter, Spike! I can’t understand a word she’s saying!” Twilight said worriedly. “We have no idea the extent of random occurences that can happen to Pinkie at this point, and they just keep getting weirder and weirder!” Pinkie Pie was oblivious to the panic, and began having fun with her new found talent. “Sí, el regalo perfecto para mí… es una sonrisa amplia como una milla, ¡hazme feliz como puede ser!” she sang. “Sonrisa, sonrisa, sonrisa, sonrisa, sonrisa!...” “Pinkie Pie!” Twilight shouted at the singing Pinkie. “Stop singing in Spanish and help us get everypony together for a group meeting.” “¡Vale!” she exclaimed, and bounced out the front door. “Wait, I had something else…” Twilight shouted out the door, but Pinkie was already out of ear shot. Twilight sighed. “How is Pinkie expected to communicate with anyone if she can’t speak English?!” This didn’t stop Pinkie, though, as she bounced over to Sweet Apple Acres. She knocked on the front door of Applejack’s house, and Applejack opened the door. “Tienes que ir a la biblioteca de inmediato!” she instructed. But Applejack was confused. “Pinkie Pie, what in Equestria are you saying?” Applejack said, puzzled. Pinkie suddenly realized her mistake. She couldn’t talk to anypony like this! But she had to tell everyone to get to Twilight’s house. She had an idea. Pinkie began miming. She pointed to Applejack, then towards the town. She mimed reading a book, then jumped up and down panicked. “Um… you need me to go to the… library?” asked Applejack, hoping she understood Pinkie’s charade. Pinkie Pie nodded her head rapidly. “Well, alrighty then!” Pinkie Pie bounced happily, then dashed off towards Fluttershy’s house. Applejack was worried as to what to expect from her visit already.
