“An interview you say? Sure I’ll do it!” Said Pinkie Pie talking to a pony who wanted news about how Rarity’s boutique in Manehattan came to be. As the two came near the diner the waitresses gave a bewildered look as the pink pony entered the place, they seated her and the pony still with an odd look across their faces.

“Coming back for seconds Miss Pie?” said the waitress taking out her note pad.

“Seconds? That does sound good but this is the first time I’ve been here! Just give me your biggest plate of pancakes with extra extra syrup!” She said as the news pony got his paper and pen ready.

“Now Miss Pie, I understand you know the unicorn Rarity, tell me how it all started off with bringing the business to Manehattan” He asked the first of many questions. Pretty soon she had gone through fifteen plates, and that was just a first course meal to her! The news pony took turns interviewing her friends, the more Pinkie answered questions the more plates piled up! The stallion was about to regret his decision of paying for them. Finally he asked the questions concerning the situation Rarity was in; hopefully this was Pinkies last plate too.

“So while everything was turning to dust around you and your friends, what do you think could have happened to make it easier on Rarity?” He asks.

“I don’t know, the situation was better handled the way we did it, besides getting more ponies to help would have worsened it and don’t even get me started on the legend of the mirror pool!” she said eating her last plate of pancakes, as she took the last stack the stallion looked behind her at the pony staring closely, his eyes widen as Pinkie kept talking.

“Mirror pool you s-say? Look behind you Miss Pie!” He said pointing to the pink mare behind her.

“Oh her? Don’t mind her she’s my back up. Come over here and sit Pinky!” She said as she waved the other pony over.

“Your back up? Do explain that for me”

“Well ever since I cloned myself a bunch of times I kept one of the clones to help me out! It does get tiring being the party pony of Equestria sometimes” She explains as the other pony sat down.

“But what about all of the ‘rescue Equestria’ moments? How do you even tell each other apart?” He says while still confused.

“I kept her in hiding in the basement of Sugar Cube Corner; all of those missions were me. The only time Pinky has to come in is when during a party or Twilight has another meeting about organizing” She says.

“And how do you tell each other apart?”

“First of all I call her Pinky, She’s way more quiet then I am and she’s a neat freak!” She says pointing to Pinky taking the dirty dishes to the kitchen.

“This is all so shocking and interesting at the same time! Imagine the headlines and popularity!” He says while writing things down on his notepad.

“Wait, headlines? No. Pinkie Pie may I talk to this Stallion in private please?” Pinky says while walking out of the kitchen leaving the bus ponies bewildered.

“Of course my dear!” Pinkie gets up and walks out of the diner, someone had finally discovered the secret she has kept for three years, there’s one thing that she didn’t mention about how different they are, the other is a physcopath.
Back in the diner Pinky has scooted closer next to the stallion, she eyes him close as he writes information down on his note pad.

“So what did you want to talk about privately Miss?” he asks her unaware of what’s about to happen to him.

“Give me that note pad” She asks with a growl in her tone, he gives the notes to her and she tears them up.

“Hey! That was going to be a golden story of the era! How could you do that?” He shouts at her trying to save the notes, but just before he reaches Pinky lit them on fire.

“We don’t need this story getting out, I’m still in hiding from the rest of Equestria and the last thing we need is more missing ponies, you get me?” She says as suddenly the lights in the room dim. “I was there when Trixie returned, when Fluttershy turned into a bat and many more times when Equestria wasn’t in danger. I don’t think you want to know more secrets about me do you?” At this point the stallion was shaking in his horse shoes; He was terrified of the other Pinkie Pie. Missing ponies, other times in Equestria, she was really around during those moments.

“I- I swear I w-won’t say a word! Please d-don’t hurt me!” he pleaded at her hoofs, Pinky smiled in victory she prevented another word from getting out about the clone who escaped.

“Good, now go back to doing your interview for this story and don’t you dare speak another word of this” she said striking more fear into him. Pinky put her hat back on and walked out of the diner to find the real Pinkie making balloon animals for the little colts and fillies.

“So did you stop him from reporting this goofy story?!” she asked Pinky with a grin on her face, she did know about her way of shutting ponies up, but it didn’t matter to Pinkie.

“Yup he’s taken care of, want to go and find an ice cream wagon?” she asked as they walked away from the diner.

“Of course I do! You always have the best ideas, just like the mean voice inside my head!” said Pinkie Pie; these two were trouble, the good kind and bad. The stallion inside the diner was trying to process what just happened, but he decided not to, as he interviewed the other ponies he still looked behind his back to make sure no one was watching him. That Pinky sure had a way of talking to ponies, no wonder she’s the quiet one. As our story ends we have to sit back and wonder now, during all of those episodes which Pinkie was the real one? How many ponies know about her but decided not to tell? Am I the only one?

“No you will be the last one though Artsy!”

“AH PINKY! YOU CAN BREAK THE FOURTH WALL TOO?!”
