"Pinkie." I said, trying to get her attention. Unfortunately, she is either ignoring me or not listening to me.
"Pinkie." I try again, hoping to get her to look away from the mailbox she's starring at. Unfortunately, I'm having no such luck.
"Pinkie, this is ridiculous. You've been waiting for the readers to send in questions for months! If they aren't coming in, then we'll simply skip doing a Q&A." I tell her, only to find myself thrown back on my rear and having Pinkie materialize in my face.
"Skip doing a Q&A? How can you even suggest that Diane?" She shout in my face. Uncovering my ears, - Not that covering them helped any. - I reply.
"Because it's kind of holding the main story back? The author wanted a Q&A to do something else for a bit to get his writer's block out of the way. Although, we only got one question. So, he's decided we're simply doing a whole chapter revolving around that one question." I explain to her.
"But it's only one question. How does he expect to work with just one question and still make a whole chapter with more than two thousand words?" She ask, apparently not believing my words.
"Well, for one. He simply decided to begin that chapter here, so our dialogue is only taking up some of the quota." I explain, looking past the material and straight at the human teenager writing fanfic while lying in his bed. The young man simply shakes his head and lets the focus return to the not really canon plot.
"Oh, I guess that is one way to work around the issue. So... We're just going to answer one question then?" Pinkie asks me.
"Yupp. I got the envelope right here." I tell her as I take out the first and only question we got from the depths of my mane.
"We really should explain how our hammerspace works some time." I point out as we begin our walk towards Sugar Cube Corner, or at least the non-canon version of it.
"Why?" Pinkie asks in return.
"Because I know the readers are just as eager as I once was to find out how you work Pinkie. Sure, Twilight couldn't figure it out and just had give up and accept it. We humans though? We're too stubborn. And now that I know and understand it all myself, I could probably explain it to those unfortunate enough not to find themselves in my position." I explain my reasoning as we walk into Sugar Cube Corner.
"I don't think that's actually possible. I mean, the author himself doesn't know how it works, and he can't write anything about it, even if the two of us know." Pinkie points out, making me roll my eyes.
"Well, he can always just make something up. The readers will believe almost anything since they have no way of confirming it themselves and are just eager to find out how it works."I say, knowing that I would if I was still sitting behind my old laptop. Wonder what happened to it. I think to myself.
"I'm not comfortable lying to them though. I mean, it's as simple as

And we can then take out whatever we wish from it that we've pocketed before." Pinkie says before looking around, confusion evident on her face until she looks back at me.
"... That was censored, wasn't it?" She asks me, to which I just nod.
"So we really can't explain it. That's no fun." She says, moping a little.
"I agree. Hey author, you made Pinkie sad. At the very least make it possible for people to have a very slim chance to read what she just said. Like use a code or something. Thanks." I say as I notice the censored part change. Sad Pinkie blackmail always works. Well, maybe not always. Sad Fluttershy blackmail is probably worth more to be honest, you don't want to have an angry bear after you.
"Should we maybe get on with answering the question now?" Pinkie asks. "I mean, we're already here." She points out as she sits down at one of the tables. I nod as I join her and put the small envelope on the table.
"Right, you wanna do the honors sis?" I ask, getting an enthusiastic nod from Pinkie as she takes the envelope from me and opens it. Clearing her throat, she begins reading the short letter.
Question by Bronyparasite: How odd it is to go to the bathroom?
"Well, I don't think it's that odd to go to the bathroom. I mean, I usually trot into the bathroom and do whatever I came there for. Unless I really have to go. Then I get there as fast as I can." Pinkie says and I can't help but chuckle at her (most likely delibeately) misunderstanding the question.
"Pinkie. I think the question was meant for me and asking how odd it is for me to use the bathroom now that I'm a pony instead of human." I explain.
"Oh. But why didn't they say so?" She asks.
"Well, I think I was the only one meant to answer questions at first. But it doesn't matter Pinkie. The important part is that everyone and everypony understands. Which we do. So to answer the question: It was a little bit odd using the bathroom at first, seeing as my entire anatomy is different now. However, the bathroom itself is fairly close to what I'm used to, and now that I've gotten a hang of my body, it's much like a human bathroom. Of course, that wasn't the case at first and..." My cheeks sprout a little blush. "I had to ask Pinkie for the few first times." I explain embarrassed. Can't believe I'm actually telling all of these readers.
Pinkie simply giggles. "Aww, come on. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You just needed a little help with brushing your teeth. Your hoof control is much better now." She says, grinning at me.
"Yeah, yeah. Doesn't make it less embarrassing." I tell her.
"Well, that's it for this Q&A. I hope you people enjoyed and have a good day," I begin, only to be interrupted by Pinkie.
"Wait, we're already done?" She asks, a bit distressed.
"Yeah, pretty much." I confirm.
"But what about the word count? We have to have at least two thousand words per chapter." She quickly points out.
Thinking about it, I come up with a solution. "Actually, this is an omake chapter. We don't actually have to do anything here since it won't affect the main storyline. So we don't have to follow silly rules like that." I tell her.
"Oh. I guess you have a point. Until next time, and please, be a little nosy then and send us more questions for me and Diane to answer then. We're looking forward to it." Pinkie says as the chapter is about to end.
"Hopefully we'll get something to do next time." I whisper to myself as it ends.
the thing is i don't really have questions. just eager to see what's next.
7186570 I think that applies to most of my readers. But I got a question, not answering it would have been unfair since I had already promised to do so.
7186600 you have a very interesting story of a human ending up as a Pinkie Mirror clone and you've done in a way that doesn't raise many question. It just makes want to grab some popcorn.
...Diane. Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched.
I didn't even know there was a Q&A. I'll have to come up with a question now.
Sadly it wasn't what I expected, I somehow hoped the question part wasn't about the author and both Pinkies talking to the readers, and more about well maybe Diane asking Pinkie about it or something.
Not sure why, but this part of fourth wall, where she is talking to the people isn't my favourite kind of fourth wall breaking.
What do you think would happen if all the Pinkie clones had a human in the driver seat just like you?
7186750 I enjoy that one. Hoping for an update soon.
I guess it's true that people call the feature box lame and self-congratulatory.
7186889
It's true that they say that, and they're right in cases like this.
Dear Mr. Diane,
When do you think you will go on a date with that nice chap Blueblood?
7187034 Oh am I so tempted to just let her answer that right here and now.
there's a fairly easy explanation here. Friendship = Magic, right? Pinkie Pie is friends with nearly all of Ponyville (and even a fair few beyond!) so of course she has magic.
Pokémon. Yes or no?
In my opinion some things are better left unexplained. I've read stories that seem to feel that need to explain things like how ponies hold things and I think they are weaker for it.
Best example, Star Wars. (Happy Star Wars day, by the way.) When it was explained how the force works, it annoyed a lot of people because no one felt it needed to be explained.
Just my two cents.
Some of these are probably better questions for Twilight, but I will ask here anyway.
Is Diane a Magical Construct (as in Made of magic) or is she a product of magic (as in an actual creature that just happens to have been assembled by magic.)?
If she is a Magical Construct, does she/can she still do things normal ponies do (eat, sleep, use the toilet, etc).
If she wanted to, could she eventually have foals?
Does she have to worry about magic-eating creatures and dispelling charms/spells?
World-altering catastrophes aside…
Does she have any plans for a regular job?
Does she have any plans for a home of her own?
Are there any plans for her to meet the rest of Pinkies family?
7187154 Of course!
Awesome chapter! hehehe, funny Q&A
Zalgo alert!
We don't have very many questions at the moment, but one good one (especially for stories of this type) is: how do you know you're you?
Keep going! ;)
So what about that oatmeal, huh?
Do Pinkie, Diane, or any of the others play any Children's Card Games? (Magic, Yugioh, Weiss Shwarts, etc.) And if so, what kind of strategies do they use?
Who wins at laser tag between all of them?
What's something you've seen or heard that was too ridiculous even for either of you?
dear Diane. What are your thoughts on raising a family in the foreseeable future?
also, which colour is best color? (see what i did there?)
I wonder if there more pinkie clones that got away then just the "evil" pinkie clone
Have you thought about how you're going to distinguish yourselves when conversing with the colorblind?
This is for Diane: Have you told them about the fact that they're just a creation of Hasbro's, and do you miss your brony friends?
So Diane... (Done to woodchuck tounge twister) How much Big Mac would a Pinky clone ride if a Pinky clone could ride Big Mac?
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
7187859 Is this a question for the Q&A or just you wondering?
Hey I didn't know a Q&A was requested. Well here are a few I wanted to ask:
For Diane:
How have you adjusted to having memories that weren't originally yours?
What is your relationship between Pinkie's circle of friends?
Do you miss not having any of the convieniences on Earth like the Internet, or cars?
Did you suffer any Internet withdrawal when you moved into Pinkie's place?
There any difference to your body than that of another pony?
For Pinkie:
Does Diane share the Pie sense that runs in your family? If so, is it the same as yours; or does she has her own Diane sense?
Rock, paper, or scissors?
Have you two done any twin shannanigins, and if so, share any good stories with us?
Does Diane enjoy pranks as much as you do?
7188824 can't it be both?
orig13.deviantart.net/b7bb/f/2011/212/8/4/pinkie_activity_detected_by_gitpmcerberus-d42b83t.png
7189075 I'd rather only answer it now or in the actual chapter.
How does one make a entire chapter about one question?
Was it truly necessary to make a sequel to the original story?
How long do you expect the story to be?
Whats the writers block you have for?
Just some questions since you asked for some, I thought of these really quick, not too much, but something you can use for a Q&A if need be.
7189554 Well, I guess I did ask for questions. However, these are questions directed towards me and not either Diane or Pinkie... So I'll guess I'll answer them right here.
Well, last chapter is one example.
Well, perhaps not. I originally intended for the story to stop at that one chapter. However, I got curious on how I would write the rest, and got tempted to continue. Besides the many ideas filling my head there was also the demand for a sequel, so that's how it happened.
Well, currently I'm planning to write it as a trilogy that ends at the end of season 4. "This is worse!" will cover events during season 3 and "This is the worst!" will cover season 4. I have no plans of going any further as of yet.
"It's hard to explain, but I'm kind of out of ideas how to approach a certain subject I wish to handle and I'm to stubborn to go back and rewrite what I've already written so far. So I have to figure out how to gently hammer out the details for that situation.
I wanna know more about how Pinkie and Twilight have been getting along and interacting with Diane not trusting or liking twilight very much.
7189667 That will be brought up later in the story.
Will Diane ever get her own cutie mark?
come on it's not rocket science, sure it's quantum physics, you know placing matter at tangents to the curvature of reality there by not taking up space or mass, but not rocket science. what i'm curious about is how you sort it, i mean you could memorize each right angle but Diane made it sound easy. although with Pinkie's memory that would be easy.
Diane:
Do you miss your parents?
Any favorite snacks?
Do you have fleas?
Will you consider introducing human technology into Equestria?
Pinkie:
How does it feel to be in two places at once?
What walk on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?
Do you have a business card?
What does going through the mirror pool feel like?
Diane and Pinkie:
Who is the better huger?
What is your favorite book?
Gummy:
What is it like to be the most awesome pet ever?
Dear Diane, Gummy, and/or Pinkie. What does the Fourth Wall look like?
Pinkie: What is your name?
What is your quest?
Can you say hi to Derpy for me next time you see her?
I do have one question for Dianne: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, or other? I have another for Pinkie Pie: how do you feel about Hasbro owning your name and likeness? Gummy: what do you think that we as a human society living in the digital age can do to protect "human rights", as they're called here, such as free speech, free press, and freedom from unreasonable surveillance? Twilight: Do you like the color blue? Fictional Fanfic: I forgot, what was my question? Avatar Aang: do you like waffles? Darth Vader: why am I asking you this question?
Does anypony from this story have any questions for me?
Also:
Well let's see, there are only 1,749 words here, so I'm guessing it couldn't be done. Don't worry, you'll have more words later. On a positive note, that number probably doesn't include the words that were censored, so depending on how Twilight-esque Pinkie's lecture was, it's possible that there actually were 2,000+ words.
for Dianne: I apologize if this is too personal but; have you had any times where you needed to 'get off' as it were, if so how is it different from when you were male? (aside from the obvious)if this is too much you don't need to answer. I'm just curious.
I got a question, have you told anyone about being a human, or a male? For that matter, having a body like Pinkie's, have you ever experienced any Pinkie-Sense like abilities? Or any reality-bending whimsical antics or anything like that? Or even some kind of empathic link between yourself and Pinkie? Or Gummy?
Edit: Oops guess that's... (counting) 6 questions... I think?
Pinkie, have you ever pulled out something that you weren't looking to pull out of your hammer space?
Diane, FUN? If you take offense to that question I apologize.
Pinkie, is there anypony else in your family who knows about us?
I have this question for Diane: What have you learned about PInkie Pie, from being one of her clones and/or living with her?
Dear Tim and Moby-
Wait, wrong Q&A. Dear Diane & Pinkie,
How are your interactions with the Author? From Mac.
"My turn. Your thoughts on the Multiverse Theory?"
"Well, for one. He simply decided to begin that chapter here, so our dialogue is only taking up some of the quota." I explain, looking past the material and straight at the human teenager writing fanfic while lying in his bed. The young man simply shakes his head and lets the focus return to the not really canon plot.
LOL
Sure, Twilight couldn't figure it out and just had to give up and accept it.
Also, I'm too lazy for proof-reading this chapter. Feel free to shout at me for that, but the cost is a question for the next Q&A.
This is what I did when I red that. Starting at 0:30 of this video. Does anyone ever watches my video response?
Something to note my first and only brony item is a 3 inch pinkie pie. Took me two days and three stores to find one! I may have a crush on pinkie pie but I'm guessing she already knows that because I sense her talking to me from time to time.
