Pinkie learns
“It’s a Birthday, it’s a birthday, it’s almost Twilight’s birthday!” Pinkie Pie announced while she bounced eagerly in place. She glanced around quickly and pulled a hidden lever, dropping the floor out from under her and sending her plunging down a slide to her party cave, giggling the whole way down. “Making that slide was the best decision, ever!”
After she landed, she trotted over to a large filing cabinet and pulled out Twilight’s file. “Okay, let’s see... likes... dislikes… huh, that's weird!” She pulled Twilight’s birth certificate out and frowned, seeing an indent on the back of it. “That’s funny! The indent says 995, but the front says 985… that's a super funny 8 though! Maybe Twilight knows why her birth certificate is super wonky?”
After a few minutes, she was back in her bedroom, clutching Twilight’s birth certificate, humming as she shoved it into her mane and bounded downstairs. “Mrs. Cake, Mr. Cake, I’m going over to Twilight’s! I think she’s hiding a super big secret from all of ponykind and it may be what destroys everypony we love!”
“Alright, Pinkie. Just be back by the twin’s bedtime,” Mrs. Cake answered before pulling cupcakes from the oven.
“That’s right.” Mr. Cake glanced over to his wife, rolling his eyes. “We need you to watch them while we clean up after closing.”
“You betcha!” Pinkie waved and took off like a bullet towards the crystal palace.
Twilight leafed through a large book and sighed, shutting it and laying her chin on it. “So bored…”
Spike raised an eyebrow. “Well, why not have another magic duel with Starlight?”
“She’s visiting Sunburst in the Crystal Empire. She’ll be home in time for my birthday Saturday.” Twilight sighed, putting the book back in its spot. Her ear flicked as she heard a familiar voice yelling her name.
“Twilight! Twilight!”
“I’m in the library, Pinkie!” Twilight called out with a smile. Pinkie will help me get rid of this boredom!
Pinkie poked her head in and grinned. “Found you! Oh hey, Twilight, isn’t this supposed to be a ballroom? I mean, I went to the library first, but nopony was there, so I just started looking in every room here!”
Twilight rubbed the back of her head and poked her tongue out. “Well… Yeah, but the normal library was too small for all my books.”
Pinkie rubbed her chin before nodding. “Yeah, okay, that makes sense.. oh! I wanted to talk to you! It’s super-duper important!”
“Well, I'm always here to help in any way I can, Pinkie Pie. Would you like some tea first?” Twilight smiled over at Spike.
“Nah! Oh, but I could go for a huge mug of hot chocolate!” Pinkie beamed over at Spike. “And make one for yourself too!”
“That sounds great. Spike, may I have some hot chocolate as well?” Twilight smiled over at Spike as he rolled his eyes. “Also, why don’t you take a few bits and buy yourself that new issue of Power Ponies you’ve been asking for?”
“Really? You’re the best, Twilight!” Spike raced over to Twilight and hugged her tight before sprinting towards the kitchen.
Twilight shook her head and laughed. “He’s such an easy one to please.” She then turned her gaze to her friend, ready for whatever insanity she might bring on to help with her boredom. “So Pinkie, what’s going on?”
“Well, you know how your birthday is on Saturday?” Pinkie asked, sitting down across from Twilight.
“Well, yes. It is my birthday after all,” Twilight giggled.
“Right! So I was in my party cave to check if I had anything planned for this year when I found something really, really weird!” Pinkie reached into her mane as Spike walked back in carrying a tray with two large cups of hot chocolate and a plate of cookies.
“Here you go, Twilight. Is there anything else you need?” Spike bounced from foot to foot as Twilight levitated her saddle bags over and gave Spike several bits.
“No, I should be good. Have a fun time with your friends, and eat something healthy for lunch!” Twilight called after his retreating figure.
“No promises!”
Twilight winced as the door slammed shut. Ugh, I wish he’d learn to shut that door a bit softer… oh well, he’ll be with his friends the rest of the day, probably eating junk food and downing colt cola… I should plan a nice healthy meal for when he gets home. She shook her head. “Anyway, you said you found something weird about me in your party cave? What was it?”
“Right! So I was looking at your file, and everything looked just fine-arooni, but then I noticed your birth certificate wasn’t in the right spot, so I picked it up!” Pinkie took a deep gulp of her hot chocolate and bit into a cookie “Mmm, Spike makes good cookies!”
“Wait, my birth certificate? You have my birth certificate? How? Why?” Twilight tried to stay calm as her mug trembled in her magic.
“It was easy! I have a copy of the birth certificate of every pony in Ponyville, and every donkey and mule and-” Pinkie stopped as Twilight shoved a cookie into her mouth with a burst of magic
“I get the idea, Pinkie. So, you have everyone’s birth certificate.” Twilight sighed, looking down at the table.
“Yep yep yep! Anyways, yours was backwards, so I noticed something really weird! Twilight, did you know that you have two birthdays on your birth certificate? Oh! Does that mean you were born twice? Is that even possible?” Pinkie pulled the official document out of her mane, and Twilight stared at it. The picture attached was her as a newborn staring up at the camera and that stupid eight…
“So the copy you got had a mistake on it. That happens, Pinkie. Even magic isn’t perfect.” Twilight glanced away as Pinkie narrowed her eyes at the document in question.
“Are you sure about that Twilight? I mean, every other birth certificate I've gotten is an exact copy of the real thing, so it doesn’t make sense... “ Pinkie’s eyes widened as she looked up at Twilight with a beaming grin. “You know, if you were born twice that would mean you get double birthdays! Oh, that would be fantastic! I’d be the first party pony ever to throw a double-birth birthday party!”
Twilight’s eyes widened at Pinkie’s excitement as she chewed viciously at her lip. No way I can ever have a double-birth birthday party… no way. “No Pinkie. I wasn’t born twice. I.. I…” She looked at her friend. “I swear that I want to tell you the truth, but I just can't.” She turned her gaze down to the document in front of her before looking back up at Pinkie a single tear running down her cheek. “Please… don’t make me.”
Pinkie frowned, her ears flicking as she thought before finally shaking her head and smiling. “It’s okay Twi-twi. Nopony but you and I ever have to know about this!” And, to Twilight’s relief, she grabbed the document roughly folding it and causing the picture of newborn Twilight to fall onto the table. Twilight stared at it.
“Pinkie… Pinkie wait… Maybe, maybe it is time. Maybe you need to know who, and what, I am….” Twilight’s ears pinned back against her head as she gripped her tail. “What happened seven years ago.”

Thanks! I wanted to get the lead in just right.
7787575
I look forward to writing it!
Love the strong opening. We wish for more to keep the suspense. Hopefully you will indulge in the requests and have our interests satiated. Anyway. Love it so far. Hope you have a great Christmas and you sleep well. This story has a strong influence, what with my upbringing but I love it nonetheless. Have an up-vote! ^_^

Thanks I worked quite a bit to get the opening just right i'm glad you enjoyed it!
*reads chapter*
*emotionally invested meh*
*clicks tracking button*
she a lich
is my guess
7787621
I thank you for tracking. I'll do my best to make it worth it.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Force-grown clone after the original was tragically lost?
Future-doppelganger who disposed of the original to prevent a disaster?
Pod-pony?
Cursed doll that ate the soul of the original?
Tragic magic-photocopier accident (it happens!)?
Don't be silly, changelings are just a myth!
I'm hooked.
7787625
You make me happy by getting what i mean by *emotionally invested meh*!
Thank you!
Holy crap, this thing makes my heart beat way faster than it's supposed to. I eagerly await more! How long will this be?
I'm a gonna guess either clones, zombie, vampire, or a vampire zombie clone.

"Vampire zombie clone"
By Luna's lovely mane WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?
Dang it, now I'm curious!
I'm guessing she died during birth, but ten days later she was magically revived.
great beginning
You have my interest good sir or madam.
You have my attention.
Not fair know I ha e to know
you have successfully gotten my mind off my other book. you have done the impossible. i need to see what happens.
I wonder if I can see where this story is gonna go if I hang off this cliff...
If you ruin this with shitty storytelling, I'm going to shove it through your heart so the shitty story kills you.

Edgy.

Yeah, the chicken went bad.

Where's this going?
7788541
For now? A small town called Saddlemoor
I dunno, on one hand, dear heck is pinkie heavy hoofed on the approach. That almost, almost got me to give it a dropped immediately, only the tags kept me to stay.
They took that very well... (Like a boss! Technically they are Pinkie's boss.)
I guess they simply got used to it. Probably something like 'Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie'.
I join the betting pool and suspect something Changeling-related.
Hmmm
Gore, Dark, Sci-Fi...
So is she an alien? Perhaps some kind of adaptive life form that absorbs DNA from dead bodies it consumes and this one either accidentally ate Twilight or ate her corpse after she died and absorbed her memories and stuff and now she's some kind of Thing-like monster capable of turning her body into a monstrosity that consumes everything she wants but doesn't because pone?
Or, far more frightening: is she a Space Mormon?
you have me hooked... looking foward to more :D
Hmmmm.....was she cloned cause her original body couldn't handle being an alicorn???
I wonder how close I am
7788602 I both adore you and despise you right now. However, a quick press on the tracking tab, and perhaps all that hate will dissipate, and the adoration shall grow.
Huh seven years ago...hmm would that have been during her time as a student at CSFGU....oh boy could she have actually...could the flare have...*shivers with fear*
I guess what happen 7 year ago is when she got her cutie mark but also died but sometime came back to life by some kind of dark magic that the princess use or her family use,
that or twilight is lich or really a demon pony who just love read and made deal with the princess for book in exchange of being the a faitfully student/servent...
anyway good opening it got it hook in me
SHE DIED AT THE ENTRINCE EXAM AND ALOT OF MAGIC THAT WAS LEFT AFTER SPIKE REMADE HER BODY

"Space Mormon"
-runs to get away from that nightmare-
I won't deny my interest is perked, but it feels like this chapter is so short it should have been released with another chapter. But I'm only a casual reader anymore. So it may just be this story isn't quite what I have a taste for these days. Nothing wrong with that though, judging by the amount of others interested and following.
This is interesting more plz
my guess is a bit biased as i was just playing Fallout 4 but
SHE'S A SYNTH
SHE'S AN ALIEN!!! Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
She's the element of magic so the tree brought her back to life so she could use the elements with her friends
I am... intrigued.
7789678 Well, that's just ridiculous.
img03.deviantart.net/75a4/i/2015/341/f/5/generation_2_pony_synth_by_withermane-d9jdbft.jpg
"Or is it!" I ask in a melodramatic fashion, followed by a loud onomatopoeia (preferably "DUN DUN DUUUUUN").
That odd-looking "8" wouldn't happen to be lying sideways, would it?
I think we all know what reallllllly happened. Twilight wanted to study the Nightmare Moon situation instead of going to Ponyville, so she took a little side-trip first, to the mirror pool. Then the original was captured and podded by changelings, but Luna tracked her down through the dream realm, and led her soul back from her drained and dying body to where Twilight could animate a magical golem, who then went to speak with her pool-clone, who became panic-stricken at the accusation that she wasn't the original, and tried to escape using a time-traveling spell. She ended up in an unstable loop, unfortunately, and has been "jumping" uncontrollably since then, leaving golem-Twilight running the library.
...and that's what happened.
7789678
*Panics* The Institute is among us! Call the Minutemares! Call Applejack's Rangers! Call the Railroad!
...Wait...Your name is a number...
YOU'RE A SYNTH TOO!Ididn'tmeanitIlovetheInstitueIpromisetoalwayssidewiththeminFO4playthroughs...
...Please don't kill me...
7790186 Changeling
tenth hive, twentieth brood, eight hundred fifty third hatch. get you facts straight Pinkie!
So somepony actually wrote down that Twilight is some form of pony monster born twice into her birth certificate....
That's taking pencil-pusher stereotypes to the nth degree!
But seriously, why would any hint of something clearly meant to be secret be written in a document not sealed in the darkest recesses of that warehouse where they stuck the Ark of the Covenant or something?
