"Try to start a war."

"And what did you do?"

"...try to start a war."

"Rule number one." Pipp put on an uncharacteristically serious face. "Your fans cannot be your friends."

Sunny blinked. "What?"

"Oh here we go," Zipp muttered to herself.

This story is a sequel to Pinkie Pie's Problematically Private Passion's Parental Personages Presented Perpostorously Prior Publishing Previously Paraphrased Preoccupation

Pinkie Pie slumbers, unable to wake. This would be bad enough if she were ordinary, and even worse were she still merely Pinkie Pie, the partymeister of Canterlot High. But in this new world of magic, she serves a crucial role in helping Sunset Shimmer stabilize the cosmos.

So it is that her closest friends agree to delve into her mind, find what has happened to their friend, and bring her back to the waking world. This delve shall be dangerous, but they must take the journey. For them... for her... and for all of reality. And yet...

Secrets in the waking world have taken hold of the sleeping self. An interweave of conspiracy and coincidence contrives to undermine the connections between friends, even as they struggle to stay together long enough to find out how to help the one they'd come to rescue.

Trapped within an already chaotic mind thrown off kilter by unseen forces, Pinkie's friends must navigate a delicate landscape of laughter and pastry riddled with emotional time bombs, all in the hopes of bringing her back... before she is gone forever.

We all have sides to ourselves we don't like. Personas we take up on bad days, or strange days. Things we'd rather forget.

Fluttershy has plenty of those.

And they argue.

A lot.

Dragons are good at fighting. Very good at it. Supurb, even.

So why are the dragonlands utter garbage?

This was the question that plagued Princess Ember when she became the Dragonlord. She had already proven her strength and power in the gauntlet of fire. In the end, though, it was Spike who retrieved the Bloodstone Scepter. Spike the clanless, whose form had no power, who worked with ponies of all things...

Something was going to need to change. And one thing Ember knew, Dragons... disliked... change.
