_____*Ponyville 2:31 PM*_____
Pinkie bounced happily through the town in search of her friends.
The townspony's waved hello at the party pony as she passed by them.
Ponyville itself was a town that always found itself in the middle of chaos, it was a peaceful town at heart.
Pinkie bounced up to Sound and Rose's house and knocked excitedly.
The door made a clicking sound and opened to reveal Colgate and as a shock to Pinkie, Dash was there as well.
"Hey Pinkie, what's up?" Colgate asked.
Dash rubbed her eyes. "Huh?, oh hi Pinkie." She said groggily.
Pinkie smiled widely. "I just wanted you to know that I'm planning a party for later and your invited!" She replied happily.
Dash nodded slowly. "I'll come, when is it?" She asked.
Pinkie continued smiling. "Its later at seven." She replied. "So Colgate can you come too?" She asked.
Colgate smiled and nodded. "Yea I can come, got nothing going on anyway." She replied.
Pinkie was happy that her friends were coming, she said goodbye to Dash and Colgate and bounced away towards Sweet Apple Acres.
As she bounced towards the Apple family farm she passed the park, the park was relaxing, two moderately sized ponds, six benches, and fourteen bushes.
Pinkie bounced through the park and noticed somepony she knew, she moved over to her friend.
She bounced up next to her friend and noticed who it was exactly. "Hey what's up?" She asked.
The pony turned to face Pinkie and smirked. "Nice to see you." He replied.
Pinkie smiled at her friend, who was a discolored blood red Pegasus colt with purple eyes, sometimes, sometimes they were forest green or red, or one was forest green and one was red, his name was Storm Blitz.
Storm also had an odd personality, sometimes he was emotionless, sometimes he was sarcastic and fun, or he would be cold and angry.
Pinkie knew it would be polite to ask him to the party and she planned to do just that. "Hey Storm I'm having a party later, want to come?" She asked.
Storm shrugged. "Why not, I don't have a lot to do." He replied.
Pinkie giggled happily and zoomed off towards Sweet Apple Acres.
Storm was confused about what just happened. "Ok, I didn't even get a time." He said to himself.
A pink blur zoomed passed Storm and a note appeared.
Storm picked up the note which read. "Seven o clock, don't be late." Storm shook his head at this and continued what he was doing.
Pinkie bounced up to Sweet Apple Acres in search of Applejack.
The apple farm was expansive and large, many apple trees littered the farmland, a big red barn and a house stood in the middle of it all.
Pinkie heard somepony grunting and bounced towards the one who was doing it, she passed many trees and eventually found Applejack working, Pinkie happily bounced over.
"Hey Applejack." Pinkie said.
Applejack wiped her forehead and looked at Pinkie. "Hey Pinkie, what're you doing here?" She asked.
Pinkie smiled. "Well you see, I'm having a party over at Sugarcube corner and I was hoping you could come." She replied happily.
Applejack sighed. "Sorry Pinkie but I got to much going on here, I got enough work here to last me the day, I wish I could come though." She said apologetically.
Pinkie softened her smile at her friend. "Its alright, but if you find time feel free to come over, the party's at seven." She replied while walking away.
Applejack smiled. "I'll remember that." She said before returning to her work.
_____*Sugarcube corner 6:59 PM*_____
Pinkie heard a ring at the door and she walked over to answer it, she opened the door and saw Storm and Twilight arguing.
"Enough Twilight, we're here to have fun, not to argue about country's." Storm said as he walked in.
"Hey Pinkie." He greeted.
Pinkie was curious so she looked at Twilight.
"What was that about Twilight?" Pinkie asked.
Twilight exclaimed in frustration before walking in. "Sorry Pinkie, we were debating about our country's, he kept saying that the citizens of Equestria are ignorant, I kept saying that the Artic citizens were warmongers." She explained.
Pinkie closed the door. "Why would they do that?" she asked.
Storm popped his head around a nearby corner. "We were just defending ourselves, the griffins attacked us first." He replied before returning to what he was doing.
Twilight gave Pinkie an apologetic look. "I'm sorry about the argument Pinkie, we didn't mean it." She said.
Storm popped his head out again. "Yes we did." He countered before popping his head back.
Twilight's face turned red but she performed the calming technique that Cadance taught her.
Pinkie heard a ring at the door and opened it, she smiled, Colgate and Dash arrived with Rose and Sound.
"Glad you could make it." Pinkie said cheerfully.
Colgate and Dash smiled and nodded before entering the building.
Rose entered the building and thanked Pinkie for the invite.
Sound looked around the area carefully. "Are you sure we aren't being watched?" He asked cautiously.
Pinkie giggled at Sound's awkwardness. "Yes I'm sure, come on in." She replied.
Sound slowly entered the building. "Good, I cant shake this feeling that something isn't right." he said as he sat in a nearby chair.
Pinkie closed the door and bounced over to Twilight. "Hey Twilight, is Rarity coming?" She asked.
Twilight looked at Pinkie and shook her head. "Sorry Pinkie, she said that she had to many orders to fill." She replied.
Pinkie felt saddened but knew she couldn't hold it against Rarity for not coming.
A ring at the door broke Pinkie out of her trance as she bounced over to the door, she opened it to see Fluttershy and Lyra.
"Hey Fluttershy!, hey Lyra!" Pinkie said happily.
Fluttershy smiled and Lyra gave a sheepish wave. "Sorry if I'm an inconvenience." Lyra said apologetically.
Pinke giggled happily. "Of course not!, some of our friends couldn't make it anyway, come on in." She replied cheerfully.
Fluttershy and Lyra entered the building. "Thank you for having us here Pinkie." Fluttershy said.
Pinkie smiled. "Thank you for coming." She replied.
Lyra began talking with Twilight about magic and Fluttershy was talking with Sound about the critters he had seen in his travels.
Pinkie was just glad to have her friends here, she was so happy that she jumped in the air. "LETS PARTY!" She shouted.
Storm could be heard falling down some steps. "OW!" He shouted.
Something then crashed. "OOOOWWWWWW!" Storm added.
______*Two hours later at Sugercube corner*_______
Other then Storm falling down the steps and that box falling on his head the party went off without a hitch, Twilight and Lyra even played a few rounds of pin the tail on the pony, everypony had accused Storm of cheating when he put the tail on the pony perfectly everytime, he had replied with. "I cant help it if my scanning eye wouldn't go away" Storm was promptly banned from playing after the fifth round, Dash and Colgate had locked themselves upstairs and Sound had said something about the two being the most horny couple he ever met.
Rose and Fluttershy had talked about several things but Pinkie never heard what they were talking about, Storm and Pinkie had a drinking contest that was interrupted by Applejack arriving and joining in, Pinkie had won by a single second, Storm's liver was strong, but Pinkie's was just a little bit stronger.
And so Pinkie stood in the room that the wild part of the party took place, Storm was sitting in a nearby booth.
Storm looked at Pinkie. "So, it's just us left, need any help cleaning up the place?, if not too bad I'm helping anyway." He said as he groggily stood up.
Pinkie snapped out of her trance. "Huh?, oh right, the cleanup, thanks for helping." She said as she began to clean up the mess.
Storm focused on the stuff on the floor while Pinkie worked on what was on the tables.
Pinkie didn't say it often since everypony left her to clean up by herself, but she was glad for the help. "Storm why are you helping me out?" She asked randomly.
Storm grinned. "I got my reasons, but I guess one of the best ones is that you have my respect, I can tell that you have a mask that you hide behind, don't get me wrong but its a damn good mask, you had everyone fooled, even me, until the party ended, then you felt lonely because you believe your liked only because of your party side, you have my respect because of how well you hold it together, not because of the party's." He explained.
Pinkie let a tear out. "Thank you." She replied quietly while she worked.
Storm grinned. "Anytime Pink." He said as he continued to clean.
Pinkie chuckled at the nickname. "That's a good one." She said happily.
Storm did not reply.
Even though Storm had kept quiet through the night Pinkie couldn't help but ponder on his words, he didn't act like it but Pinkie could tell that Storm was very intelligent, after they finished the cleanup Pinkie had said goodbye to Storm and thanked him for the help.
Storm had replied that it was no trouble at all, and that it helped him think on recent events.
Pinkie had gone to bed after locking the building down, but even in her sleep Pinkie could not stop thinking on Storm's words. "You felt lonely because you believe your liked only because of your party side." Pinkie was tossing and turning all night trying to find a reason for this, but found none.
_____*Sugarcube corner*_____
Pinkie slowly opened her eyes and groaned as she slowly sat up, she gasped in pain as a splitting headache came to her head, Pinkie held her head for a moment but soon found something odd, the pain had gone away only to come back through the rest of her body.
She managed to hold in the pain by biting her lip, the pain persisted for a few moments before disappearing.
Pinkie released her breath and was now breathing heavily. "What was that?" She asked herself.
She stood up and walked towards the bathroom, she walked inside and looked In the mirror, she was shocked by what she saw, she was now a darker pink and her mane was now flat, her cutie mark was now three blooded knifes, she also seemed to have blood on her, she closed her eyes so she didn't have to look at it.
"That's not who I am, that's not me, It looks like me but isn't." She said to herself.
A dark chuckling was all Pinkie heard before falling unconscious.
