22 Years, 5 Months Ago...
"Slow down, dear," Cloudy Quartz struggled to keep up with her husband as he led her through the South Field, "I can't exactly keep up with the foal on the way."
Igneous Rock Pie turned to face his wife. "Right, sorry," he apologized. "I just want you to see what I found."
He walked down the path, his encumbered wife trudging behind him, until they reached a specific spot along the tree line. He stepped aside and pointed to a strange green ellipsoid that was laying on the ground.
Cloudy regarded the object. "What is it?"
"I don't know," Igneous shook his head. "I thought it was a rock at first, but then it squirmed."
As if on cue, the ellipsoid wiggled again.
Cloudy picked it up carefully, noting that, despite its gooey appearance, it was actually rather tough. "I think it's an egg," she deduced.
"I think so, too. What should we do with it?"
Before she could answer, the foal in her tummy kicked. The creature inside the egg seemingly felt this, and squirmed in response.
Cloudy looked at the egg for a long while. "We should keep it, see what it is. Who knows; maybe it'll make a great pet for Maudelina."
Igneous took in her words. "You're probably right."
And with that, it was decided. Cloudy carried the egg back to the rock farm.
22 Years, 3 Months ago...
Cloudy screamed as she pushed through the pain of childbirth. Igneous stood by her side, holding her hoof.
But meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Maud was watching the egg hatch.
The egg ended up hatching a few minutes before the foal, Marble Pie, was born.
When Maud eventually brought the larva into their room with her, they observed it curiously. It was white and insect-like, but it also had the face of a pony, along with a little horn and a wiry pink mane. And when it looked upon them, it seemed to regard them with more complex emotions than what a simple animal would be capable of.
In fact, it seemed sentient.
They looked at each other. "Igneous, dear? I think that, like it or not, we just had twins..."
19 Years, 9 Months ago...
2 year-old Pinkie Pie sat at the table with her adoptive family, feeding on their love while they ate rock soup (though she also received a bowl of rock soup, just to feel included).
"Mom, what am I?" she asked out of the blue.
Cloudy nearly gagged on her soup. She knew this day would come eventually, but Pinkie was maturing surprisingly quickly.
"Well, Pinkie dear," she began, "we don't actually know. We found your egg down in the south field, and we took you in."
Pinkie pouted. "Okay, thanks anyway."
They continued their dinner in silence.
18 Years, 7 Months ago...
Pinkie, now 3 years old, had just recently started working the fields, tending to the stones there. She didn't exactly know why they farmed rocks, but she never thought to question it; it'd just always been a constant in her life.
She was turning over a Micah stone near Holder's Boulder when she heard an eagle above her. Thinking nothing of it, she continued to work.
That is, until the eagle swooped down and grabbed her in its talons.
"HELP!" she screamed as the bird carried her high into the sky. She tried to wriggle out of its grasp, but its talons were sharp, and they dug into her still-developing chitin.
Desperate, she tried to utilize her horn, relying on pure instinct.
Suddenly, harmless green fire flashed around her, and when it dispersed, she found herself transformed into a ladybug. After taking a moment to process, she used her smaller size to easily slip out of the bird's grasp.
The only problem: she barely knew how to fly in her own form, let alone this new one, and she was several feet above the ground.
She may have been able to slow her descent enough to prevent any serious injury, but the force of the impact was still enough to dissipate her newfound ladybug form. The rest of the family, who'd come running at Pinkie's cry for help, rushed over to make sure she was okay.
"Pinkie Pie, are you alright?" Cloudy asked, and Pinkie nodded.
"I was so worried," Maud said in a way that, unless you knew her personally (or had emotion-sensing powers like Pinkie), appeared emotionless.
Limestone regarded at her as though she'd grown a second head for a moment. "How did you do that?!"
"No idea," Pinkie muttered, still dazed from the landing.
18 Years, 2 Months ago...
"Now change," Igneous instructed.
Pinkie focused a good portion of her energy into her horn, and she transformed into her chosen pony form.
"Very good," Igneous congratulated. "Now, I want to see you hold that form for the entirety of supper this time. You'll need to practice your stamina if you ever want to go into town with us."
Pinkie nodded, then trotted after her father as he reentered the house.
15 Years, 6 Months ago…
Earlier that day, she was tending the rock fields when she saw the Sonic Rainboom in the distance. She began to think:
She didn't know anything about what that explosion was or what had caused it.
And yet, despite that, its beauty had made her happy regardless.
It was rather inspiring to little Pinkie Pie. Here she was, a creature that neither she nor her family knew anything about, just like that explosion.
Maybe she, too, could spread happiness to others in spite of that?
She smiled broadly as she thought of the perfect place to start:
Her own family.
Present day...
"And that's the story of my entire life!" Pinkie Pie finished. "At least, that's the parts related to me being a Changeling. The rest you either already know or should be able to extrapolate."
Twilight looked up from her notepad. "Thank you, Pinkie Pie. This information will be invaluable."
Pinkie blinked. "Well, duh! That's because I gave it to you for free!"
Twilight face-hoofed.
Ok, so her mane and tail was already pink, what about everything else? Also, so is 22 years old?
Dammit Pinkie XD
Well that's a pretty interesting history about how she was adopted I really like how the pies family helped pinkie pie And becoming a family I can't wait to see how this will work out
Don't worry I'm sure you'll figure it out Just take your time on it 😊
What about her cutie mark? Is it real?
Pinkies still Pinkie
And that’s why you should plan ahead before you start writing a story.

At least a little so you still have an end goal to shoot towards, if nothing else, but that being said, I have seen people end up coming up with absolutely great stories in the end, despite starting out not really knowing where they were going and more or less were making it all up as they went along.
Still, planning ahead always helps, so I still recommend it too.
You don't actually have to have an end goal with this story. You can simply type up story chapters of what you feel, either as an endless story, or something else.

Agreed. This has a great starting concept so go with the flow of you want to.
Oh ok So you're basically taken a break from the story for now at least while you're finishing up the other ones I guess we can wait for that
This should be interesting to see if thorax and pharynx well see pinkie pie
continue this or i will have to write THIS: :( ANOTHER TIME HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The plot will write itself, just figure out what everyone wants, what they're doing to get that, and how everyone reacts to those actions.
For instance, someone at the hive was mentioned wanting their daughter back... 😜

I know where that part is going; I'm just having a hard time writing the stuff leading UP to that (aka fitting Changeling Pinkie into the canon).
But thanks for the advice anyways, really appreciate it.

That... Is an interesting question. I'll get back to you once I actually decide.
