It was in the dead of night when the window to Pinkie's room opened slowly and the mare wearing a black jumpsuit tip-toed inside with a huge sack. She leaned over Pinkie's bed and with one swipe, she had Pinkie in the sack, causing her to wake up.

"Hey, what's going here?!"

Already the mare moved down the stairs and moved past the hallway. From there, the twins had awakened to hear a muffled shout, "Help! Help!"

The twins recognized their foal sitter's voice right away and started crying. Mr. Cake had awakened then and saw the shadowy figure that was passing the room. He heard Pinkie's cries.

"You there! Stop!"

Mrs. Cake woke up then to see the commotion. The Cakes ran fast after the figure, but she was too quick. She opened the door and ran out, jumping into a cart already waiting for her. The Cakes had no choice but to see the horror of Pinkie Pie being kidnapped…

Twilight was in a library that reminded of her of Golden Oak, looking over books.

"Twilight Sparkle!" Princess Luna appeared in Twilight's dream.

"Princess Luna?"

"I bring grave news…"

Minutes later, the Mane Six minus Pinkie were gathered at the Sugar Cube hearing the terrible news of the kidnapping from the Cakes.

Rarity wept, "Oh, Pinkie Pie!"

Fluttershy was sobbing uncontrollably as Spike was comforting her while having a few tears as well.

"I just can't believe some pony would do this!" Rainbow said in anger.

Apple Jack shed some tears, "I just can't believe we couldn't be here to stop it in time…"

The twins sniffled.

"Pinkie…" said Pound.

"Pie…" said Pumpkin.

"Gone!" they wailed.

Twilight was in a corner where she mourned to herself. Just then, Spike burped up a message and she immediately read it to the others.

"Twilight, meet us at your castle with the rest of your court."

Moments later, they were in the throne room facing Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence.

"This is very bad…" said Celestia, "Without the Element of Laughter, I fear that the beacon of friendship will not impact Equestria so much. This will cause disagreements to arise and tear the kingdom apart…"

"We'll find her and bring her back!" said Twilight.

"No, it is too risky. As the remaining Elements, you must stay here to keep the beacon going… even if there's one missing, you can still use the power on Equestria but barely…"

"Then… how are we supposed to find Pinkie if we can't go anywhere?" asked Apple Jack.

"That's where I come in!" popped up Discord.

"Oh, Discord…" Fluttershy flew up to him, "You will find her, won't you?"

"Of course I will! Pinkie Pie is one of the good friends that I have. I will not fail! Plus…" he whispered in her ear, "I hope this will make up for the mission that I messed up the first time…"

"Oh… Thank you…" tears formed in her eyes.

He offered her a handkerchief and she took it as he turned to face the princesses, bowing to them. Celestia nodded her head and he teleported out.

"Please tell me you got some pony watching him." said Rainbow.

"That would be very hard to do…" pointed Luna.

"And there is no dangerous villain out to tempt him again." said Cadence.

"Discord is already making up for his tempory betrayal. But he still has a long way to go before he has our complete trust again." said Celestia.

Fluttershy said under her breath, "Maybe not your trust…"

Celestia turned towards Fluttershy and smiled, "I had no doubt that you would trust him again. You are his best friend…"

Fluttershy blushed, "He… he told you that?"

"Not in so many words, but he does speak of you often."

"Can we get back on Pinkie?" said Rainbow.

"I have search parties in the Crystal Empire as well as the regions that are the closest." pointed Cadence.

"And I will scour the night skies with my personal guard." said Luna.

"I have sent the royal guard in Pony-Ville and other cities and towns in Equestria; I hope that she will be found soon."

"Thank you, Princesses…" said Twilight, "We shall do our bid by staying here to keep the beacon going…"

"I know you will." said Celestia as she, Luna, and Cadence took their leave by flying off.

The girls and Spike sat on their thrones, looking at the only empty throne in that room…

Pinkie opened her eyes to see that she was sleeping on a small stage, "Where… Where am I?"

"Buon giorno!" came a green mare with bright pink hair, "Did you sleep well?"

"Well, sure, but who are you? And why am I here?"

"Oh, that's easy! I am Mrs. Tango; these are my sons," three green stallions showed up, "Foxtrot, Tap-Dance, and," she pointed to the nerdy-looking stallion that was glancing at Pinkie, "Chicken-Dance."

"Nice to meet you!" said Pinkie.

"And I bring you here to become a famous singer like me!"

"Ooh! But I can't; I have a job back in Pony-Ville. I can't disappoint every pony by not being there to bring them smiles! My name is Pinkie Pie! Hello! 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 kinda worried- and your face has 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! It's true, some days are dark and lonely. 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 smi-i-ile! 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. Yes, I do. Tell me, what more can I say to make you see that I do? It makes 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, 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 mine! Yes, the perfect gift for me-ee-ee is a smile as wide as a mi-ii-ile. To make me happy as can be-ee-ee.

By then, they had an audience, "Smile! Smile! Smile! Smile! Smiiiiiiiiiiiile! Come on and smile! Come on and smile!" They cheered as Pinkie bowed.

Chicken-Dance whispered to his mother, "Mama, you give her to me and I will marry her."

"Very well. You can marry little Chica; that way, we can keep the money she earns in the family."

"Well, this was fun, but I have to get going." She was about to leave until Tap-Dance and Foxtrot blocked her way.

"Oh, but you can't leave now!" said Mrs. Tango.

"I wish I could stay, but my friends will be wondering where I am. Say, um, where exactly in Equestria am I anyway?"

"Well, if you stay a bit longer, I can get you a map."

"That'd be great!"

The girls were in town square giving the bad news. Just then, Rainbow said.

"Uh-oh…"

"What uh-oh?" said AJ. Rainbow turned her face to see for herself, "Oh… that uh-oh…"

Cheese was humming over the bridge that led into Pony-Ville. He wasn't wearing his travel gear or carrying Boneless Two; instead, he was a carrying a bouquet of pink roses. He saw Rainbow and Apple Jack and said, "Hiya, girls! Is my Pinkie-winky-cutesy here?"

Rainbow nearly gagged while AJ had a weird look on her face, but then shook her head to snap out of it, "Actually um…"

"Oh, never mind. I'll just call for her. Oh, Pinkie! Oh, Pinkie!" he gave out a yodel, "Come on out, Pinks! I just couldn't stay away for long!"

"Cheese…" Rainbow eased him over, "You better sit down for this… Pinkie Pie was kidnapped!"

He blinks a few times in confusion and seemed to have stared off into an abyss.

"Cheese?" AJ questioned, "You okay there?"

Suddenly out of the blue, Cheese went on his knees and shouted,"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Whoa! Easy there, partner!"

"Not my Pinkie! Not my Pinkie! I was only gone for one day! Whyyyy!"

Rainbow slapped him, "Get a grip! Look, the princesses are doing everything they can to find her. Even Discord's helping! We'll find her before we know it!"

"The problem is, though, we can't join in the search…"

"Not without leaving to power the castle beacon and it's hard enough to do it without Pinkie."

"I'm going after her!"

"You sure about that now, sugar cube?"

"Yes!" he galloped back to the bridge and shouted back to them, "I'll find her!" he trotted off.

"Was that Cheese Sandwich?" Twilight came over.

"Sure was." answered AJ, "That boy's got determination written all over his face."

"I bet he finds Pink before anyone else." said Rainbow.

"Maybe you're right," said Twilight, "Who better than a party planner to find another party planner?"

"One can hope…" said Apple Jack.

Pinkie was itching to get going, but Mrs. Tango still wouldn't give her directions yet.

"Uh, Mrs. Tango?"

"Oh, please, you can call me Mama."

"Mama?"

"Since you are going to marry my son, Chicken-Dance!"

Pinkie gave off a laugh, "Oh, that's a good one! I can't marry your son! I love Cheese!"

"Oh, you'll come to love Chicken-Dance much more! You wait right here while we get an official." she went off with her boys.

"Hey! Wait a second! I'm not marrying- Hey! Come back here while I'm talking to you!" she sighed and slumped on to the stage. "I've got to get out of here, but I don't know which way to go…"

Suddenly she heard a whistling and turned to see a purple pegasus stallion passing by.

"Ooh, ooh! Mister! Over here!" she waved him over.

"Um?" the stallion with bells for a cutie mark came straight over, "Something I can help you with, Miss?"

"Yes! Can you tell me where I am?"

"Why, you're in Unicorn Range."

"Unicorn Range? Uh-oh, that's a long distance from Pony-Ville. Do you know the quickest way to get there?"

"Afraid not, Miss."

"Oh, don't call me 'Miss'. Call me Pinkie Pie!" she took his hoof to shake it.

"A pleasure indeed, Pinkie Pie. I'm Jingle-Jangle."

"Jingle-Jangle?!" she started hopping around, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!"

He chuckled, "You are very funny, Pinkie Pie."

"Well, thanks for all your help, but I have to get home now before Mrs. Tango comes back to make me marry her son, Chicken-Dance!"

"Do you love him?"

"Heck, no! I love Cheese Sandwich!"

"So you have another that belongs in your heart… Pinkie Pie, I would like to help you on your journey so you can be reunited with your true love!"

"Ooh! Thank you so much!"

"Follow me." he then led her down a path far away from the road show.
