Rainbow Dash snored loudly as she lay peacefully on top of a cloud. That peaceful sleep was soon disturbed by a pony who was bouncing joyfully back home and was giggling madly.
Rainbow Dash opened up one eye and looked down to see her friend bouncing by. She noticed that she was carrying a white bag in her mouth. Rainbow Dash became suspicious as to what was inside the bag and swooped down in front of her friend. She was hoping that maybe Pinkie Pie had bought some candy or muffins, and that she might be interested in sharing something with her. "Hey Pinkie, what do you have in the bag?" Rainbow asked.
Pinkie Pie put the bag down and started giggling madly again. "Twilight Sparkle diagnosed me with mania and she wanted to go about a more natural and safer approach by treating me with Lithium. Twilight told me that Lithium can be found in natural spring water and the dose she is giving me would be considered very low among many other ponies who work with medicine. These capsules are even veggie based and everything is super duper natural and safe here. She said that I have been so happy and high that one day I could possibly crash and something natural that could stabilize my mood would prevent me from becoming Pinkamina Diane Pie again.
Rainbow Dash cocked an eye brow. "Lithium," she said. "Does this mean you're going to be uh, different now?"
Pinkie Pie shook her head no. "I'll still be the old cheerful Pinkie Pie, but I just won't be as crazy! Twilight Sparkle said that if I don't take these pills, then the pillow room police will come and take me away and I'll be bouncing all over the fluffy pillowed walls in my strait jacket!"
Rainbow Dash shrugged. "I'm kind of bored today. Would you like to go and pull some pranks on our friends?"
Pinkie Pie shook her head no again and said, "Twilight said I can't do anything too crazy at the moment until my body starts to absorb the medicine, but I'm sure we can do some pranking when I am fully stabilized! She said I'd need to wait at least a week or so before I can do anything fun."
Rainbow Dash sighed and said, "Well I guess we can wait until you're uh, stabilized. I will come back and check on you in a week."
Pinkie Pie grabbed the bag with her mouth and began to bounce away from Rainbow Dash. She couldn't stop giggling.
Rainbow Dash scratched her head with her hoof and said, "Lithium. I hope this means she'll still be fun."
After a week of waiting, Rainbow Dash walked into Sugar Cube Corner. She was surprised to see Pinkie Pie calmly putting some baked goods away. She studied her very carefully as if waiting for that moment Pinkie Pie would do something crazy and funny. Rainbow trotted up to the counter and said, "Hey Pinks, are you all ready to have some fun today?"
Pinkie Pie took out a batch of freshly baked cookies. "I'm sorry, but I just have to put these away and clean up a bit. I'll be done shortly. Would you like a cupcake?" Pinkie Pie asked.
Rainbow Dash raised an eye brow and said, "Are you asking me if I want a cup cake Pinkie?"
Pinkie Pie look confused. "What do you mean by that Dashie?"
"Well, you normally don't calmly ask questions like that! You just shove cupcakes and apples into our mouths because you're an impulsive pony! What has gotten into you Pinkie Pie? You're starting to scare me!"
Pinkie Pie sunk low to the ground. "I'm so sorry Dashie, Twilight just wants me to be safe so I don't crash in the future and become a possible danger to myself. How would you like me to behave?"
"Like this!" Rainbow Dash said as she grabbed the cupcake from Pinkie Pie's hoof and shoved it into her mouth.
Pinkie Pie gave a forced grin with the cupcake inside her mouth and then swallowed. "I-I-I just don't feel the need to act out my thoughts so quickly anymore Dashie."
Rainbow Dash tapped on the counter impatiently with her hoof. "Well," she said.
"Well what?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"You just had a specially made Pinkie Pie cupcake! It has been roughly ten seconds and you still are not bouncing off the walls. You are super sensitive to sugar and those cupcakes are sweeter than any other treat you make here! Your job and destiny in life is to make ponies smile and be happy and I am not experiencing either of those right now."
Pinkie Pie gulped and said, "Dashie, I think sugar makes me more prone to my mania out breaks. I may just be mellowing out a bit, but I'm still full of laughter and smiles though!" Pinkie Pie suddenly bent down and pulled out a fake turtle. She placed it on the counter and squeezed the pump. A spew of water came out of the turtles mouth and splashed against Rainbow Dash's face. "See Rainbow Dash! I saved one of our most favorite prank of all time!"
Rainbow Dash put her hoof against her head and sighed.
Pinkie Pie began to panic. She bent down again and started throwing random things that she found for their special day together. Harmonicas, party horns, rubber chickens, the dribble glass, fake snakes in a can, and more. Pinkie Pie took the can of snakes and opened it up in Rainbow Dash's face. Confetti and plastic snakes popped out and got stuck in Rainbow Dash's mane. Pinkie Pie smiled awkwardly in hopes that she might earn a smile from one of her best friends.
Rainbow Dash simply tapped against the counter with her one hoof as she held her head in boredom with her other hoof. "Boring!" Rainbow said. "Pinkie, you lost your spunk and you're just not the same. I don't even want to hang out with you until you're back to the crazy, random, and fun Pinkie Pie that I once knew and loved. I want you to stop taking those Lithium pills!"
Tears began to well up in Pinkie Pie's eyes. "I-I-I just want to please and make you smile Dashie, but Twilight Sparkle said I might be a danger to myself if I happen to crash again and my mane and tail flattens out! I'm so sorry I failed to make you smile." Pinkie Pie suddenly left the bakery and ran upstairs crying.
Rainbow Dash sighed and looked around the counter. There she saw a bottle of Pinkie Pie's Lithium pills. Suddenly, a rather sinister grin crept up on the face of Rainbow Dash. Rainbow took the pills from the counter and hurried out the door. She had the greatest prank she was about to pull off in her mind.
I'm so sorry that you had to take drugs. I personally haven't but at the age of 13 my best friend took too much heroin and she died. I never caught the scumbag who sold her the heroin but my heart goes out to you. :3
3018339 I am sorry for your loss. Stuff like this happens and I don't even want to think about the deaths related to even just properly prescribed pharmaceuticals. I wrote another story called "Twilight Sparkle Goes to the Dark Side of Science" and that really fully explains the corruption going on in our world when it comes to the medical industry and such. I lost my best and closest friend shortly after High School. I don't know what drugs they were treating him with while he was institutionalized, but he lost his mind when he got back home and ran away from his family. He ended up dying due to exposer from the cold. That was such a terrible time too because I'm pretty sure I remembered that he died either the day before, or on the day of Thanksgiving. He was a great kid too. I mean, he was literally like the male version of Fluttershy in the human flesh. Kid was like an angel. I hope to see him again when I die and leave this world.
3018553 We must live long and full lives in their stead, yet carry their burden with us. If we forget our friendships then what are we left with? Chaos and Disharmony. My friend was Pinkie Pie, yours Fluttershy. The two most amazing elements this world needs more of; Laughter and Kindness. We need more Love, Friendship and most importantly we need our sanity. My feels are not for the story, but for the creator, for you and for anyone affected by drugs. My Loyalty, Generosity and Honesty to you all.
Well, that ending was....mean.
Can we have an alternate ending that isn't so aweful?
3018621 Very well said! Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! I wish there were more people out there in the My Little Pony fandom like yourself!
3018652 And you too. My Love and Tolerance is literally a Rainboom, affecting those around me. I just have been through a lot of bucking horse apples and I just feel feels when great writers make great works.
*brohoof*
^For the community^
haha that was funny. (the story not you, well the bit at the end was, celestia!)
3018682 Oh, I know! I'm glad you thought it was silly! Thanks for reading and for the kind words!
3018841
Your very Welcome! and thank YOU for taking it the right way YaY
All hail sun butt! XD
NOoooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOO!!! I was actually really getting into the story, I was even gonna favorite it because it felt the most accurate to canon than the other stories I read from you so far, until DAT ENDING!!!
But it did give me a laugh, even though it went from actual canon to Trollestia! Hey wait, I have an idea, why don't you make more of these stories? They start out like a normal episode of MLP than somehow, one way or another, Princess Trollestia blows up Ponyville every single time? But than it is brought back for the next story!
I still gave it a thumbs up coz it made me laugh. Heheh... the chase scene where they were trying to catch Pinkie was the best part as I could really picture it in my mind how it would be animated like the actual show. Other than the medical jargon on pills, and... DAT ending, I thoroughly enjoyed it as a side episode of MLP.
Okay... on to the other fics!
p.s: All Hail the Glorious Sun Butt!
3058381 I wasn't sure if I wanted to end it like the way I did, but when I was in the process of creating this story and got near the end, I reanalyzed everything in the story saw just how funny and crazy this whole story turned out to be. That's when I decided to go with humorous insanity!
Thanks for reading and for the thumbs up! I'm glad you'll be reading more of my fics!
Me: So you sell drugs now huh? Let me see your permits.
Flim: Permits? Permits? We no need no stinkin' permits.
3058422
No problem, can't disappoint the first Christian fanfic writer I started following right?
This could seriously be a psa (except for the ending). Don't do drugs, kids, or you'll blow up your hometown!
Awesome story!
I'm sorry you were put on drugs. When I was six years old I was put on a drug called omnitrope. Though this drug doesn't have any weird side effects, it is annoying and must be administered every night through a needle. It is annoying and I have been on it for seven years.
You should write a story about Pinkie Pie hurting her leg and not being allowed to run or jump or anything like that.
3254254 Thank you very much, and I'm sorry to hear that you went through that.
I have written quite a few other crazy stories like this, but right now, I'm very focused on my (SiC) series at the moment because it's very important to me. If anything else pops into my mind, I'll do my best to make it happen. Thanks for reading and I'm so glad you liked this story.
I'm just saying, Pinkie pie doesn't refer to herself in the third person. Also, Pinkemena was just the result of her friends not going to Gummy' s party, not her "burning out".
