CHAPTER ONE: A NEW FRIEND! MAYBE?

It was a sunny day in Ponyville and in her bedroom, Pinkie Pie turned on some disco music and dressed herself in workout clothes and this was part of her plan to get the twins, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, laughing. She studied her appearance in the mirror and grinned.

"Let's do this!"


Going to the nursery, Pinkie Pie began acting silly by sticking her tongue out and making silly faces. "Happy! Sad. Happy! Sad. Happy! Sad. Open, shut, open, shut, open, shut, open, shut. Yep, yep-yep-yep-yep-yep-yep. Nope, nope-nope-nope-nope-nope-nope. Oooweooo, oooweooo, oooweooo, oooweooo, oooweooweooweoo!" She then blew a raspberry, and paused, panting.

The twins exchanged a look after the performance and neither of them laughed.

Disappointed, Pinkie Pie sat down – and then shot into the air with a pained yelp since she'd sat down on some jacks. She went spinning around the ceiling van, and crashed to the floor while sending a pile of stuffed toys into the air. She sat up and got bonked on the head three times by the fallen toys, and she got a dazed expression on her face with her tongue sticking out a bit.

Pumpkin Cake made baby noises to Pound Cake, and they both began laughing.

Hearing this, Pinkie Pie pumped one hoof. "Nailed it!"


The next morning as a rooster crowed, Pinkie Pie left Sugarcube Corner and she greeted DaisyJo as she went up the steps to enter the shop.

"Morning, DaisyJo!" she said cheerfully. "You here to pick up some cookies to go with your milk?"

DaisyJo nodded, smiling. "Oh ya, Pinkie, don'tcha know?"

"Well, Mrs. Cake just baked a fresh batch of your favorite oatmeal," the pink pony informed the cow.

"Mooo, sounds delightful!" said DaisyJo happily.

Pleased, Pinkie Pie trotted through the town, greeting the ponies she passed. "Oh, Rose, your Calla Lilies look even better than last year!" she exclaimed, admiring the white lilies. "I bet you'll take first prize at the flower show again."

"Thanks, Pinkie!" said Rose, delighted. "Would you like one?"

"Absolutely!" the pink pony agreed and caught the lily in her mouth while clicking her hooves together. "Looking fit as a fiddle, Mr. Waddle, and you're wearing my favorite tie!" she mentioned to the elderly pony.

Mr. Waddle smiled. "Aw, shucks, Miss Pinkie, you flatterer you."

"Well, happy birthday, Cheerilee," Pinkie Pie said to the school teacher.

Cheerilee beamed. "Thank you, Pinkie."

"Happy day-after-your-birthday, Zecora!" the pink pony called out to the zebra.

"What a lovely hi, Miss Pinkie Pie!" Zecora responded, smiling.

"And Miss Matilda, happy birthday to you…" Pinkie Pie said to a lady donkey "in one hundred and thirty two days!"

Matilda was impressed that the pink pony could remember everypony's birthday so easily. "Pinkie Pie! How do you remember everything about everypony?" she inquired.

"'Cause everypony's my friend and I love to see my friends smile!" Pinkie Pie responded and began singing as she continued through the town, making the ponies around her smile, even a pair of sad fillies began smiling.

"My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!)" she sang. "And I am here to say (How ya doin'?) I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day. It doesn't matter now (What's up?) If you are sad or blue (Howdy!) 'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do. 'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile. Yes I do. It fills my heart with sunshine all the while. Yes it does. 'Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile. From these happy friends of mine. I like to see you grin (Awesome!) I love to see you beam (Rock on!) The corners of your mouth turned up is always Pinkie's dream (Hoof bump!) But if you're kind of worried. And your face has made a frown. I'll work real hard and do my best to turn that sad frown upside down. 'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin. Yes I do. Bust it out from ear to ear let it begin. Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin. And you fill me with good cheer."


She stopped by Sweet Apple Acres to help Applejack paint the side of the barn, and then she resumed singing, becoming slightly sober.

"It's true some days are dark and lonely," Pinkie Pie sang sadly at first before cheering up again. "And maybe you feel sad. But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad. There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile. And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile. I really am so happy. Your smile fills me with glee. I give a smile I get a smile. And that's so special to me. 'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam." She was surprised when she was lifted into the air by Twilight Sparkle, Sunrise Blossom, Sarah, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy. "Yes I do. Tell me what more can I say. To make you see. That I do. It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam. Yes it always makes my day. Come on everypony smile, smile, smile. Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile. From these happy friends of mine."


By this point the other ponies joined in with her by singing, too. "Come on everypony smile, smile, smile. Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile. From these happy friends of mine. Come on everypony smile, smile, smile. Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile. From these happy friends of my."

"Yes the perfect gift for me," Pinkie Pie sang, turning it into a round. "Is a smile as wide as a mile. To make me happy as can be." And soon they were singing and dancing together in the middle of the town square. "Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile. Come on and smile. Come on and smile. Smile!"

Once the song was done, Pinkie Pie found herself face-to-face with a male donkey, who had a cranky expression on his face, and he was pulling a loaded wagon. "I've never seen you before," she remarked.

"Kid, you're smarter than you look," said the cranky donkey.

"Thanks! I'm Pinkie Pie. What's your name?" the pink pony asked cheerfully, but when he walked past her, she blinked and quickly followed. ""Property of C.D.D."" she read on the back of the wagon. "I'm guessing that last "D" is for "Donkey"."

The cranky donkey nodded. "Quick as a whip, kid."

Pleased, Pinkie Pie proceeded to guess what the first letter meant. "Now, how 'bout that "C"?" she asked, bouncing around and saying every name that she knew that started with 'C'. "Hmm… Calvin? Calhoun? Caleb? Carl? Carmine? Carlo? Charlie? Chester? Chico? Claudio? Cletus? Clifford? Coraline? Cornelius? Cortez? Crank? Christopher–?"

"Cranky!" the cranky donkey shouted. "It's Cranky, alright?!"

"And your middle name?" the pink pony asked eagerly.

Cranky sighed and mumbled, "Doodle."

"I'm sorry?"

"Doodle."

"One more time…!"

"Doodle," said Cranky Doodle Donkey finally with a frustrated sigh.

Pinkie Pie gasped. "So you're a Cranky Doodle Donkey?" she asked and when he nodded, she began dancing around and singing. "You're a Cranky Doodle Donkey guy. A Cranky Doodle Donkey. I never met you but you're my new friend, and I'm your best friend Pinkie Pie!" She stopped and smiled at him.

However, Cranky Doodle Donkey didn't smile back, instead he looked even grumpier then before. The pink pony tried physically to lift up his mouth in a smile. "C'mon now, Doodle, give a smile!"

"Nopony calls me Doodle!" Cranky Doodle Donkey shouted and shoved past her, taking his wagon with him.

Pinkie Pie stared after him, confused and a bit hurt. "What just happened?" she wondered, mentally going over her checklist. "Meet somepony new, check. Introduce myself, check. Sing random song outta nowhere, check. Become instant best friends… uncheck." She frowned and pondered what she did wrong. "I don't get it. How can somepony not become instant best friends with me? Was it something I said? Was it something I sang?" She then shook her head, becoming determined. "This is no time for the blame game, Pinkie! There's somepony new in town, and you need to win him over! 'Try everything you can to make Cranky smile and be your friend'… Check!"
