I have returned

Now this season will add some parts but will not have every episode from the actual season.

Too many Pinkies

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville; Twilight and Ash where practicing their magic while Spike was encouraging them. Twilight was trying to turn an apple into an orange; while Ash was trying to turn a Strawberry into a kiwi.

[stretching sounds]

Spike tryied to keep them going "Try again, Twi, Ash you guys can do it!"

Ash sighed "It's not that easy Spike" taking in deep breathes for the drain in magic.

Twilight wiped the sweat from her brow "Phew, this spell's a toughie. But I feel lucky this time! One, two..."

When suddenly a flash of pink collided with her sending the spell to bounce around to hit an unsuspecting blue bird.

"Hi!" said Pinkie Pie

Twilight wasn't thrilled "Nnnnnng! Pinkie, why'd you do that?!"

Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes as if it was obvious "'Cause hugs are funneriffic, especially when you throw one around a friend. Whatcha doin'?"

Twilight got back on her hoofs to explain "Trying to turn that apple into an orange! And Ash is trying to turn that strawberry into a kiwi!"

Ash laughed "Kiwis are my favorite so i wanted to try the spell out myself."

Spike turned to see the blue 'orange' bird flew by "But you kinda threw Twilight's aim off..."

Pinkie Pie thought the bird was cool looking. "Wheee! [giggles] What a cute orange birdie! Do me next, Twilight! Do me, do me!"

Then Rarity came out from behind a corner wearing a cloak. Ash turn to greet her but the cloak threw him a loop ' I would never thought I would see Rarity in a plain jain cloak' he thought.

Pinkie Pie still excited about the orange spell "Ooooh, Rarity, wanna see Twilight turn me into an orange? It's gonna be funna-fun-fuuun!"

Rarity chuckled lightly "As fun as creating this haute couture ensemble that I just finished making? Delightful, non?" She removed the cloak to revile a stunning pink dress with white lace.

"If the dress was purple and if a special pony that I know wore it then she would be a sight to be hold." Ash whispered to Twilight. Twilight blushed then smiled "And if she did wear it then she would want only the most charming of colts by her side" she whispered back. This time Ash blushed by the sudden complement. Meanwhile Pinkie Pie complained about not having more fun with more friends and rushed off.

On the other side of town Rainbow Dash was clearing up some fog.

[whipping noises]

Pinkie Pie popped out of nowhere "Hey, Rainbow Dash, whatcha doing?"

Rainbow Dash smiled at her friend and returned to whipping the cloud "This punk cloud got so heavy it's making fog. Figure I'll thin this bad boy out so it floats back up."

Pinkie Pie thought that Rainbow and she could have fun by running around the cloud to lift it up, but Rainbow Dash was got in the middle and flew up with the cloud. "Oooh, that was fun! Wheeeeee! Gotta go!" and she rushed off.

Rainbow Dash recovered from her dizziness "Uh, thanks, Pinkie...?"

Now Pinkie tried to have fun with many of her friends from Sugercube Corners to Applejack's farm. Now she came upon her friend Fluttershy who is having a lovely tea party with her pet bunny Angel when Pinkie Pie showed up.

Pinkie Pie was panting from all the running "Fluttershy! There... you... are...! Doing... [deep breath] anything... [deep breath] fun?"

Fluttershy looked back at her tea cup "Not especially."

"Oh, good. Fun... is hard...! [sighs]" then Pinkie fainted.

After a few hours on Fluttershy's butterfly therapy bed Pinkie Pie began to feel better.

Fluttershy walked over to her "Feeling better, Pinkie?"

"Abso-tutely-lutely! Thanks for letting me rest in your butterfly grove while I get my Pinkie strength back!"

"What are friends for?"

"That's just the thing! I've got so many wonderful friends having fun in every last corner of Ponyville, I can't figure out how to keep up with it all! It's driving me even more coco-loco than usual!"

Fluttershy looked away "I can promise to not do anything fun at all if that would help."

"You are such a good friend."

Just then Applejack and Rainbow Dash came over the ridge.

Applejack was the first to speak "There you are, Pinkie. Been lookin' everywhere for ya, girl."

But Rainbow Dash beat her to the punch first "Hey, Pinkie. Got something fun planned this afternoon thought you might wanna know about."

"Heh. Well, I'll be an apple crisp. I'm here for the same reason."

Pinkie Pie was ecstatic "This is perfect! Everyone will now bring their fun to me. Ha, this'll solve everything! Why didn't I think of that?"

Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes playfully "Actually, what I meant is after I'm done whipping up today's weather, I'll be chilling by the lake catching some rays. Wanna hang?"

Pinkie Pie nodded "I am so there. Wheee."

Applejack finally was able to talk "And my family's havin' a barn-raisin' this afternoon at Sweet Apple Acres."

Pinkie Pie turned to her other friends "And I'm also so there. Whee, whee."

However Rainbow Dash interjected "But... that's when I'll be at the swimming hole. Ah, well, doesn't matter. Whichever one you choose is okay with me."

Applejack agreed "Me too."

Then the two went back to their life's leaving Pinkie Pie between a rock and a hard place.

"[gasps] Choose?"

Back at the cafe shop Ash, Twilight, and Spike where still working on their spells. Ash had finally turned his strawberry into a kiwi and was happily eating. Twilight was annoyed that he beat her in her own element and cursed his alicorn magic.

Twilight was ready to try again "One, two..."

This time a pink blur ran right passed her sending Twilight into a spin and her spell hit Ash's new kiwi. He took a bit only to find that it was an orange. He whimpered to himself.

Twilight was mad that her spell failed again "Pinkie! What in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you doing now?"

Pinkie Pie wore a stop watch around her neck and was painting "Timing myself galloping back and forth between the swimming hole and Sweet Apple Acres. I'm trying to cut down my time so if Rainbow Dash dives off the swing, I can get to Sweet Apple Acres to help with the barn raising, and then be back in time to see Rainbow Dash hit the water after doing a double flip! [sigh] If I can cut my time by only twenty minutes, I'm good."

Twilight and Ash started to laugh "Oh, Pinkie. I'm afraid no matter how hard you try, the only way to pull something like that off is if there's more of you to go around." explained Twilight.

Pinkie Pie went blank for a moment and her head tilted; and was ticking as if it were a clock. Then a idea formed in her head like alarm clock.

"That's it, Twilight! The legend of the Mirror Pool!" She was gitty.

Now Twilight knew many legends from her reading but not this one.

"Legend of the who-what now? Pinkie! I'm familiar with loads of legends, and I never heard of–" But Pinkie Pie was gone.

Spike perked up "Does this mean practice is over?"

Twilight of course wanted to master this spell "Of course not! Back to work." The dragon groaned as Ash laughed at the dragon' impatiens.

Now Pinkie Pie was wondering through the Everfree forrest trying to find the pool.

"Seems like hardly anypony's been here in ages. I hope I'm remembering the rhymes right from my Nana Pinkie's story. 'Where the brambles are thickest, there you will find a pond beyond the most twisted of vines!' [echoes] What was that?! Oh, I heard a voice! Oh. Hehe. It was me. Ouch! Ooh! Stop scratching me up, you brambles, and– Whoooaaa!"

Next stop the Mirror Pool. The hard way. [thuds, whacks, and honks,] After a weird trip down a hole Pinkie final made it to the pool.

Pinkie Pie gasped "The Mirror Pool! [echoes] Oh, and there's that voice again! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Ah Pinkie, you have got to stop talking to yourself. Starting... now." She went over to the pool's edge "'And into her own reflection she stared, uh, yearning for one whose reflection she shared, and solemnly sweared not to be scared at the prospect of being doubly mared!'"

And there before her was a identical duplicate ofherself.

Pinkie Pie 2 was all excited "Wheee-heee!"

Pinkie Pie was pleased "Wow, the legend is true. It really worked!"

Now the other Pinkie was bouncing all over the place "Fun, fun! [continues]"

"Okay, wait. I promised not talk to myself anymore. I should say something to her. Or... would that still be talking to myself? Excuse me, me? Can I have a word with you? Uh, I mean, me? Listen, I can see you're having lots of fun, but–"

"Fun?! Did somebody say fun? Where?"

" I did, over here!"

"I thought someone said something about fun! Where is it? Over here? Over here? I don't see it! Where is it? Where is it?"

Pinkie Pie final got herself (:/) "Whoa, calm yourself, Pinkie, there's loads of fun to be had in Ponyville with my girls! Trot on over back to Ponyville with me and I'll tell you all about 'em."

And the two set off for Ponyville. After a quick talk over with herself the two Pinkie's set off to have more fun with their friends. Now Rainbow Dash was enjoying her time by the swimming pond. When Pinkie Pie arrived.

Pinkie Pie with a determined look "Let's rock this pool, ponies! [blows up inflatable] Whee!"

[splash]

Pinkie Pie called out to Rainbow "Coming in, Dashie? The water's great, it's totally wet and everything!"

Rainbow Dash however wasn't all that up to it "I don't know... Cloud busting was tougher work than usual today. [yawns] I'm kind of exhausted."

Pinkie Pie nodded "That's fine, you relax. At least we'll still be together!"

"Glad you made it, Pinkie. I thought you maybe went to Applejack's, instead."

"I did."

Rainbow Dash was surprised "Oh. The barn up yet?"

"I have no idea."

"But I thought you said you were just at Applejack's."

"Actually, I'm probably still on my way there now! Whee!"

Now the other Pinkie pie was on her way to Applejack's farm when she came across Fluttershy and her woodland creatures interested in what they were doing trotted over to where they were city and noticed that the one full picnic already set up.

Fluttershy noticed Pinkie "Oh, Pinkie Pie, I'm so glad you wandered by. I know I promised not to have any fun today, but, oh, I couldn't help myself. All of my critter friends wanted a picnic, and I couldn't disappoint them. Come join us. We have plenty of hay juice and marmalade to go around, don't we, critters?"

[critters chatter in agreement] [mouse squeaks]

Pinkie Pie 2 wanted to join but remembered what she wanted to do earlier "Wait, but that sounds super fun! Oh, but Applejohn sounds super fun too! Uh, and, and I can't do one without missing out on the other!"

Fluttershy was confused "Who's Applejohn?"

Pinkie Pie 2 was getting frantic "Two fun things at once? But which, which? Oh, can't decide... [breathes heavily] Trouble breathing... Walls closing in!"

"Walls? But we're outside."

Pinkie Pie 2 shrieked and ran off.

"Goodness. Was it something I said?"

Pinkie Pie 2 came back "Yes!"

Fluttershy was confused "Huh?"

Back at the swimming pond Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash we're enjoying the sunshine and relaxation; Rainbow was getting a little bit more tired from all the work she did today so she yawned quite often.

Pinkie Pie explain her plan "So you see, that's how I'm able to have fun in two places at once."

Rainbow Dash didn't buy it "Duplicates of you, huh? Heh, teah, sure, Pinkie. [yawns] Look, I was just gearing up to catch some Z's, so, uh..."

Pinkie Pie soon noticed her other self waving over to her. "Ooh, ooh, gotta run. Looks like I'm trying to get my attention. Excuse me."

Pinkie Pie 2 smile sheepishly "And me."

"Ooh, ooh, tell me all about it! Did they pull the walls of the barn up slow or fast?"

"I–"

"Maybe slow to medium fast, somewhere in that range?"

"I–"

"Ooh, did you get ice cream? What kinds did they have? Banana brickle?"

"I didn't make it! I was on my way there and then Fluttershutter–"

"Fluttershy." Pinkie Pie corrected

"Yeah, her. She offered something else fun for me to do! A picnic, with cute little animals!"

Pinkie Pie: "Aw, how could you say no to that?"

"That's what I'm saying! Then I would've missed the super fun thing with Applesauce!"

"Applejack."

Pinkie Pie 2 was bawling her eyes out "So I didn't do anything fun at all!"

"Aw, my poor poor me! There, there. Tell me what, we just need a couple more Pinkie Pies. Easy peasy."

"Really?"

"Come on, would I lie to me?"

Now Pinkie and her duplicate went back to the mirror pool to make more suddenly all the duplicate made more duplicates of themselves and more and more of themselves. Many pinky pies all over the place. The original Pinkie was getting a little nervous but she thought it would be under control so she told them about her friends and to go out and have fun. Pinkie pies did become too much of a handful for Rainbow Dash who's fighting pinkies off at the swimming pond. And it was way too noisy for her to sleep or to get any rest. And that Applejack's farm was same situation; pinkie pies bouncing all over the place because the barn collapse on itself. Now Applejack was fierce and try to round up some of the Pinkie pies but to no avail.

Now the citizens of Ponyville were quite angry. The pinkie pies were causing too much damage and giving too many ponies headaches and they all gathered around Twilight's home where she, Ash, and Spike were trying to calm them down.

Ash being a alicorn prince was quick to get the citizens attention "Okay, everypony, please, calm down!"

Rarity on the other hoof retaliated "Calm down? I just had a Pinkie hurricane raging through my shop!"

Fluttershy was the next to complain "And they trashed our critter picnic!"

Soon more and more of the crowd got anger and wanted something to be done about this.

Twilight was the next to speak "Please, everypony, hang on while I try to figure something out! Come on, Ash and Spike. I've gotta try to remember the name of that legend she mentioned."

All three searched the library high and low trying to find a book that might have something to do with the legend Pinkie Pie told them earlier. Spike had notice a secret hatch behind some of the old books, he press the button and review the secret chamber that had a book. He pulled it out and showed it to Twilight.

Twilight was pleased "Aha, here it is! "The legend of the Mirror Pond"... It describes a spell I can use to send them back where they came from!"

Spike turned to go "That's perfect! Let's go!"

"But there's a catch. If I can't figure out which one's the real Pinkie, I might send her back by mistake!" explained Twilight.

Ash nodded in concern "Well, we'll just have to figure out who the real one is then. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll just use my aura sight to find the real one."

Ash, Twilight and Spike went back outside to test Ash's theory on finding the real Pinkie. The prince focused his aura on the surrounding Pinkie pies who were bustling about, but soon he realize that there were so many identical auras and they were so many bouncing around they couldn't concentrate and it started to overwhelm him until he passed out.

"Ash are you alright?" cried a worried Twilight. Ash's eyes had turned to swirls.

"Too many auras, too much pink." he croaked "too much randomness"

Suddenly the real Pinkie Pie arrived and needed to speak with Twilight.

Pinkie Pie was a little frantic "Twilight! I have to talk to you, I need your help!"

Twilight stooped her from continuing "Excuse me, whoever you are, but I'm not talking to any of you Pinkies unless you're the real Pinkie."

Pinkie Pie knew that she was the original "Oh, but, but I am the real Pinkie!"

Pinkie Pie Duplicate: No, you're not! I'm the real Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 2: I'm the real Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 3: No, I'm the real Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 4: I'm the real Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 5: No, I'm the real Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 6: I'm the real Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie Duplicates: Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Now all of Twilight's friends together around Ash as he was slowly getting back on his hoofs after his aura overload. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were trying to figure out which one was the real pinky pie.

Applejack was the first to speak "How in tarnation are we supposed to tell which is the real Pinkie?"

Rainbow Dash only shook her head "I have no idea."

Pinkie Pie sadly agreed "Me either. Ohh... We've all got the same adorable tails, we've all got the same adorable manes, we've all got the same adorable hooves! Which one of us is the real Pinkie?! Oh! I haven't the slightest clue! And if I can't tell us apart... who can? [crying]"

Pinkie Pie Duplicates: Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Twilight was starting to get annoyed "Ugh, this is hopeless!"

Spike then noticed a sad looking Pinkie "Maybe that one's the real Pinkie."

Twilight scoffed "Please. The real Pinkie Pie never sat that long in one place her whole life!"

Spike had a gut feeling "I'm gonna go ask."

Twilight thought it was a waste of time "Of course she's gonna say she's the real Pinkie! They all do! You're wasting your time."

Spike interrogated the pony "So lemme guess. You're the real Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie Pie responded nonsalontly "Heck if I know. Could be any one of us if you ask me. And if I said I was the real Pinkie, you wouldn't even believe me anyway. So just leave me alone. I've got some important poking the ground with my hoof to do."

Twilight sighed in disappear "Oh, Spike, how're we gonna do this? I can't risk sending the real Pinkie back into the pond!"

Spike mopped "I miss the real Pinkie."

Pinkie Pie sighs "I bet she misses you too. Bet she'd do just about anything to get to be with her friends again. Hey. Hey! What if you gave them a test? Pick something really hard for a Pinkie to do, something not fun at all! Any Pinkie that can't do it goes back into the pond. But whoever wants to stay the most, that must be the real Pinkie!"

Twilight thought about it for a second "You know, that's not a bad idea."

Pinkie Pie nodded to herself "This is great! If I pass, I get to be with my friends again! [gasps] But what if I don't pass? Oh, what if I'm not the real Pinkie Pie?! Ohhhh! Stupid [thud] magic [thud] mirror [thud] water! This is all your fault! ...And mine. [thud]"

After several hours of rounding up all the pinkie pies in town into the main hall in the town hall. Ash used his aura in order to make sure the pinkie pies couldn't escaped. And Twilight stepped out onto the stage and introduce yourself.

Twilight: "Welcome, Pinkies, welcome. Please have a seat and make yourselves comfortable. [pause] Okay, I suppose you can't be comfortable staying in one place, but have a seat anyway. [pause] Sit down!"

[duplicates stop shouting]

Twilight continued "Better. Now, I suppose you're all wondering why I've gathered you all here today."

Pinkie Pie Duplicate took a guess "For fun?"

Twilight shook her head "No, just the opposite actually."

Then Rainbow Dash burst into the door carrying another pinkie in her arms

"Wait up, I got one more! Found this one poking at the ground with her hoof, drawing frowny faces."

Twilight Just waved her hoof "Have her come sit with the others."

Twilight continued with her speech "Pinkies, you've been brought here to take a test."

Pinkie Pie Duplicates groaned in chorus "Awww!"

Twilight Ignored them "Don't worry, it's a simple test, about as simple as they come, and whoever passes gets to stay."

[duplicates making huh noises, yeah]

Twilight turned to her friends "Curtain, please. The test... will be watching paint dry!"

[duplicates gasping]

Ash come out to start the test "On your mark, get set, go"

Spike had pulled up a stool with some popcorn "Ooh, this is so exciting!" Ten minutes later "Okay, maybe not that exciting."

The pinkies stared intently at the wall. The first 10 minutes they continued to stare straight at the wall until a little blue bird came along sitting in the tree chirping.

Pinkie Pie Duplicate noticed it "Oh, hey, look at the birdie!"

Twilight saw the pinkie turn and she shot the spell at her. It turned into a weird pink mist and float away back to the pool. Soon more pinkies got distracted.

Pinkie Pie Duplicate spoke "Watch me bounce and touch the ceiling!"

[poof]

[frog croaking]

Pinkie Pie Duplicate: Is that... is that a frog crossed with an orange?

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 2: Cool!

Pinkie Pie Duplicate 3: Where?

[poof]

Pinkie Pie Duplicate: Look what I can do with my hooves! [blows]

[popping noises]

[poof]

Pinkie Pie Duplicate: Betcha can't make a face crazier than... this!

Twilight's horn smoked from all the spell casting so Ash blew it out making her blush. After a long pause Rainbow Dash couldn't take it.

Rainbow Dash cried out "Ugh, I can't take it anymore! Somepony's making balloon animals!"

Pinkie Pie Duplicate fell for it. "What? Where?"

[poof]

Twilight looked to see Pinkie Pie still staring at the wall. "Pinkie, you can look away now."

Pinkie Pie looked around "I passed?"

Ash nodded "You passed. You're the only Pinkie who kept staring at the wall."

Pinkie Pie sighed in relief "I had to. I just had to. I couldn't leave my friends, I just couldn't. But I guess sometimes I will have to choose between them."

Twilight jumped for joy "I knew you'd be up to the challenge."

Pinkie Pie was excited now that she was the one and only "I'm me! I'm me! I'm me! Or am I? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I am."

'Dear Princess Celestia,

It's great to have fun, but it's even greater to have great friends. And having lots of friends means that you sometimes have to make choices as to who you'll spend your time with. But that's okay, because good friends will always give you lots of opportunities to have fun. So even if you're missing out, it's never for long.

Respectfully yours,

Pinkie Pie.'

Spike sent the letter to the Princess and everypony want to do something to celebrate.

Applejack was the first "How about some wheelbarrow races?"

Rainbow Dash added in "Or I could take everypony on a cloud ride!"

"I could throw a party with punch and zesty cucumber sandwiches! Ooh!" chimed Rarity.

[growling]

Everypony turn to the alicorn prince. Ash blushed and clapped his hoofs together.

"Cucumber sandwiches sound good" he said with unprincely manor.

Pinkie Pie slow back into Sugur Cube Corners "You wanna know exactly what I feel like doing right now? [sighs] [snores]"

Fluttershy look at her for a moment "That looks like fun."

[all laughing] end

Now that was a pain so much writing and research. For now on they'll be a little sorter and not fully word for word from the actual series. till next time.
