Spring 1

Greetings my fellow ponies, dragons, griffins and humans I am Pinkamena Diane Pie...and no I am not the one from that atrocious piece of fanwork that made me a psychopath, let me explain. As many of you may know the one you know as 'Pinkie Pie'-

Hiya!

Don't interupt me Pinkie, you know I hate that

Oops sorry Pinkamena

As I was saying as many of you may know the one you call 'Pinkie Pie' is one of largely two sides of the pink pony's psyche, I am the 'true' pinkamena, Pinke fully surfaced and became the dominant personality after we earned our cutie mark . Now our cutie mark is rather interesting to say the least, it is one of the rare double meaning cutie marks, meanning it has a secondary function pertaining to interdimensional activities.

Huh?

'Sigh' It means we have an extra special talent that allows us to break the fourth wall and we are not the only ponies to possess such a mark either, other ponies such as Lyra Heartstrings, Derpy, Viynl Scratch, Octavia, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia all have a double meaning cutie mark, I won't, or rather can't, tell you what they are due to our club's oath.

Now then, right now I am in a coach heading towards my family's rock farm, it appears the attacks and raids have grown more frequent and have asked us-

You mean I get to hep too? Woopie!

Yes Pinkie they have asked for your help as well to examine and determine the best course of action to deal with the large number of creatures that regularay attack the farm, of course this needs to be done without our friends from ponyville finding out about me-

Aw pinkamena they'll love you!

Remember kindergarten?

Oh...oh yeah

So we must do this as effciently and as quickly as possible, no doubt our friends are coming to help us even as we write, so wish us luck.

Pinkamena Diane 'Pinkie' Pie

--------------------------------------------

The straight maned Pinkamena put down the quill she held in her right hoof as she scratched the last portion of her shared name onto the page of the journal, Pinkie was quietly rambling about the welcome party she promised to throw for the both of them upon arriving on the farm.

It was slightly odd using terms such as 'us', 'we' and 'them' when reffering to both herself and her 'younger sister' (as pinkie had only made herself known to Pinkamena when she was a few years old, but only really surfaced when they got their cutie mark). It was much like having two souls in the same body, both having to agree to do the same thing if they wanted to live like a normal pony.

Well as normal as possible when sharing a body with a party lover that ate her body weight in sugar day in day out.

Pinkamena looked down at the three balloons on her flank, for Pinkie it meant she was good at parties, for Pinkamena it meant she could stretch and expand her mind and body to see and understand things the average pony could not and rise above the laws of nature to do what she believed was right, like a balloon floating upwards and reaching for the heavens.

The soft red chair and the brown varnished wood of the pony pulled coach was a vast contrast to the lush green grass and rows upon rows of trees that rolled past her window. The carrige itself was cozy and simple and it suited the more serious and mature of the two of them.

Pinkie just commented on how fun it would be to jump on the cushions or ride on the roof.

Pinkamena sighed and went back to the small box of cinnamon doughnuts Pinke had packed for the ride, she liked the simple plain doughnut over the icing coated sugar-fest that her counterpart ate everyday. She took a bite out of it and quietly listened to Pinkie ramble on about what she planned to do when she returned to ponyville; something about catching up on all the birthdays she would miss out on whilst helping her family.

After a few slow minutes filled with the gentle rumbling of the coach and the two Pinkie's having a conversation about the dimension of jelly, the sceneary changed from a vibrant foest to a gravel coloured road that marked the edge of the farm.

oh boy we're here! Pinkie exclaimed happily.

"Indeed we are" Pinkamena muttered with a small smile on her face.

The coach stopped outside a simple wooden house that looked like it had seen better days. outside of the house were two adutl ponies Pinkamena instantly recognised as her parents, but her sisters were no where to be seen. as she stepped of the coach, saying a "thank you" in passing to the driver she grabbed her bags off the back and trotted over to her family.

"Hello mother, father are my sisters out at the town?" she asked.

"Pinkamena good to see you, and yes Dust and Diamond are out stocking up supplies should a dragon take the house under seige again" her mother, Amber Pie, explained.

Pinkamena's mane and tail poofed up into the famliar cotton candy-like mess as Pinkie took over their shared body.

"Hay Mom! Hay Dad! it is sooooo great to see you guys again!" The party pony greeted in her usual cheerful manner.

Her father, Granite Pie, smiled softly at her.

"Welcome home Pinkie, you too Pinkamena, it is good to see my two youngest daughters getting along" he replied warmly.

"it is good to see you both so happy, even if Pinkamena doesn't show it." Amber stated, equally pleased. "now why don't you two get yourselves settled in and your father and i will go over the notes we preapred for your visit".

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie grabbedher bags and bounced into the house. the simple, sparsly furnished house she had lived in for most of her foalhood had hardly changed over the years, save for some new pictures on the mantlepiece of her and her sisters as they grew older; one even featured Pinkamena carrying a dragon's tooth from the last time she had been called to help the farm a short time before the return of Nightmare Moon.

"Gee it sure has been a long time huh sis?" Pinkie asked her counterpart in a soft voice.

Yes it has ben awhile, but fret not my sister, we will prevail and nopony needs to find out about me, I will remain as silent as the night until you truly need me

"You sound like Princess Luna" Pinke giggled as she headed upstairs to her room.

That was the idea, I'm supposed to be the serious one, not you

"Yeah but..."

You fear that your friends will find out about me and reject you? That is such a silly thing to worry about pinkie, you are the element of laughter, and a good one at that. If your friends can accept you despite your oddities and flaws then there is no logical conclusion that would result in them abadoning you due to another flaw.

Pinkie looked around the dull grey room with a large window opposite the bed with faded pink sheets. she placed her bags on the floor near the chest of draws that stood to the left of the doorway as she contemplated pinkamena's words.

"But you're not a flaw, you're my sister"

Thank you for the sentiment Pinkie, but now is not the time to dwell on the 'what if's'. We should head downstairs soon for the briefing, I'm sure we have our work cut out for us

Pinkamena walked downstairs a few minites later, pinkie preffered to leave the technical talk to her anyway, content with listenning and occasionally pointing out something the older of the two missed. the straight maned mare found her parents in the kitchen, a huge map of the farm spread out on the table with various notes and markings scribbled on certain ares.

Pinkamena pulled out a red ribbon from the hidden dimension she shared with Pinkie and used it to tie up her mane into a high pony-tail.

"Right then, what are we dealing with this time?" she asked seriously.

----------------------------------------

As Pinkie would say we are in for a doozy, tomorrow we'll head out to confront the sea serpent that has taken up resident in the nearby river, we will try to negotiate with it and if all else fails try to relocate it, I just hope it isn't a female.

Why?

Unlike males of tthe species, who only collect rocks to build mounds to impress and court a desired mate, female sea serpents are highly territorial and will only relocate if there is a male in the vicinity that they can live with, or if there is no food or suitable nesting sites in their current location.

I wonder if Steve is around here?

Steve?

You know the serpent that rarity gave her tail to

Ah I see, that would be beneficial for us if that is the case, we could easily negotiate with him to either move, or take up permanent residence in exchange for some decent nesting stones, he make a useful sentry.

Soo...what now?

It is late, we should rest and be up bright and early for the days events..and pray to celestia that after you post this online we'll get a good reception.

How'd you know I was gonna post this on-

Don't mention the site! We don't want to get the friend helping us with this banned do we? And besides i think that's enough fourth wall breaking for now.

Aw but what about the chapter trivia?

'sigh' Very well, The chapter names are all based on the calender used in the popular Harvest Moon series of video games, Cupcakes has been briefly mentioned and Dragonfire2lm does not own Harvest moon (though she owns some of the games on DS), My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or the fanfiction tittled 'Cupcakes'.

Ok we can go to bed now!

Finally, good night everypony.

Pinkamena Diane 'Pinie' Pie.
