Hey guys, I going to start with a little opening paragraph like I do in my other book (only for this chapter). Thank you guys for all the support even though I've been... absent. Ask MLP is my first priority since it has a stronger request. I originally made this book because mlpwattys asked me to compete in their competition, but when I read the update to their rulebook, the mlp watty awards got canceled, so if you are/were competing in that competition, you're not anymore. However, I will continue writing in this book since some people seem to enjoy it.

Pinkie's POV

"All right, stay positive" I told myself as I entered a damaged Sugar Cube Corner. When I walked through the door, I saw a distraught Mr. and Ms. Cake."Good morning everypony!" I said cheerfully, hopefully brightening up the mood. I was expecting a "Good Morning Pinkie Pie" but in return, I got silence. "Is everypony okay? What's wrong?" I asked. Ms. Cake approached me with a sigh. "Pinkie Pie, I'm going to have to ask you to pack your things, and leave." Ms. Cake replied. I felt some tears starting to form, but I quickly used my tongue to wipe them away. "Ms. Cake, is this a practical joke?" I asked hoping this wasn't happening. "Do I look like I'm joking?" Ms. Cake said with a straight face. "Not really." I said. There was some silence. "But Ms. Cake, why?" I was very confused. "Well, I think you might be dangerous to our kids. I mean look at this place." Ms. Cake pointed out many cracks in the wall and piles of broken glass. I was very bewildered until that last puzzle piece fit into place. "Did I do all of this!?" I cried. The couple nodded. I started to cry quietly. "I understand. I'll go get my things." I sighed and dragged myself up the stairs, and into my room. Once I packed all my things, I headed toward the stairs. As I was going down the stairs, I could see Pound and Pumpkin Cake. I remember the first time I babysat them. Their big clueless eyes stared at me adorably as I poured flour on to myself. When I looked at them this time, I could hardly recognized them. For one, they were toddlers, but something else caught my eye. Once I made it to the bottom of the stairs, I noticed that they both had a scar on their face. I gasped, dropped all my stuff, and came closer to the two toddlers. "I'm so sorry" I whispered to them. As I reached my hoof toward them, I felt a ball of pain splat on to my hoof. "Owch" I screamed. Mr. Cake slapped my hoof. "Pinkie Pie, you already have done enough. I would advise you not to touch them." Mr. Cake shouted and pointed to the door. "Before I go, what did I do?" I asked. "You don't remember? Once your hair flattened, you started destroying things and screaming. We tried to stop you, but once you kicked Ms. Cake, I went to hide our kids. It was too late, you found them and almost killed them-" Mr. Cake explained. I gasped which interrupted him. "I was a monster" I said to myself and galloped outside.

I left my suitcases by the bakery. I didn't want to lug them around everywhere. "Now what do I do?" I told myself. As I was walking, ponies crossed the street just so they couldn't bump into me. Everypony was running in fear... from me. This hit me really hard, but then I thought of my five friends. I mean, I have lots of friends, but I can safely say that these five will help me. I turned around and headed to Twilight's castle. Once I entered, it seemed deserted. As I walked around, I could see where Twilight was coming from when she said the castle was daunting. The long, dark hallways were giving me the impression that this was a lost cause. But I finally found Twilight and Rainbow Dash in the throne room. "Boy am I glad to see you guys." I exclaimed. They didn't look happy to see me because they backed up when I came closer. "You guys too!? I am so sorry!" I almost cried. "Pinkie Pie, what happened to you?" Twilight asked nervously. "More like, where did Pinkamena come from?" Dashie asked while backing up. "I don't know, and that's why I need your help." I sniffled. "We can't. I know friendship is magic and all-" Twilight said. "But we have to go." Rainbow Dash finished. "Where?" I asked. "Nice going" Twilight whispered to Rainbow ."We have to go...to the thing... at the place." Rainbow Dash lied. They both smiled and flew out of the room.

"This has to be a dream. But it seems so real" I said to myself. I went into Twilight's bathroom and washed my hoofs. There was a bruise from when Mr. Cake slapped me. "Today has been the worst day. I'm not going to even bother with my other friends." I was now talking to myself. I looked in the mirror, but I didn't see myself, I saw a monster: Pinkamena. "What did you do to me?" I asked Pinkamena. "It's not what I did to you, it's what you did to you." Pinkamena replied. "Just think Pinkie. I'm you, the real you. Your bubbly hair and personality are just a cover. You didn't start out like that, you started out as a depressed little pony kicking rocks in her free time." she explained. "Ponies can change." I replied. "That was just a phase I went through, but Ponyville made it fade away, and I am happier with who I am." I continued. Pinkamena giggled. "Hmm. Cute, but who won in the end, you or me?" she asked. I was so mad, disappointed, and frustrated, I broke Twilight's mirror with her plunger. "Careful Pinkie, your Pinkamena is showing" she taunted. "You think by breaking this stupid mirror with a plunger is going to get rid off me? You can't get rid off me. I am a part of you." she said. I couldn't take it anymore, I ran out of the bathroom. I tried to run out of the castle, but I was cornered by Mr. Turnip, Rocky, Sir Linse-a-lot, and Madame LaFlour. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" I explained. They all snickered as they pushed me back into the bathroom. "No wait! You can't put me in there with her!" I screamed.

"Pinkie, please come back. I can't watch this any longer." a faint voice said. "Fluttershy?" I asked. Then in a flash, I snapped back to reality. "Pinkie, we were so worried" Applejack said. "It was terrible" I cried. I went over Twilight and Rainbow Dash and cried on their shoulders. "Well it sounded bad." Rainbow Dash said. "But it's over now." comforted Twilight. "Thank Celestia" I sniffled. "I knew it would be hard to ruin this pony's joyous spirit" Sombra hissed. Rarity's Cutie Mark glew on to the door. "You know what? I think Sweetie Belle is worried about me, I better head back home." Rarity explained. "Rarity, the fate of an entire empire is at stake. Millions of ponies could die and you'd be responsible" Twilight said. "Good luck Rarity." Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you all. Please come shake me if things get a little too hectic." Rarity replied. She sat next to the door, and those gorgeous sapphire blue eyes glew a ruby red.
