Chapter 13: Feeling Pinkie Keen
(Y/N), Twilight, and Spike were outside as Twilight is practicing her magic with Spike wearing a necklace made out of leaves, a rock on his head and he is holding a stick. Twilight uses her magic to change the leaf necklace around Spike's neck into a tuxedo but then she notices that Spike is distracted.
Twilight Sparkle: Eyes over here, Spike!
Spike: Uh, sorry.
Twilight then turns the stick Spike is holding into a fancy cane.
Twilight Sparkle: For this to work, it's crucial we keep our concentration totally on the-
?: Ooh!
A familiar female voice was heard which cut off Twilight and her concentration as the rock she turned into a top hat transformed back into a rock and was about to land on Spike, but (Y/N) stops it with his magic.
(Y/N): You alright there Spike?
Spike: Yeah, thanks (Y/N).
Twilight Sparkle: Spike! This magic needs our full attention to make it happen. There's no other way!
Spike: I can't help it. Look!
Spike pointed to Pinkie Pie who was darting around frantically with an umbrella hat on her head and she looked rather worried.
Twilight Sparkle: Ugh, never mind her. She's just being Pinkie Pie.
Spike: Super-extra Pinkie Pie today.
(Y/N): She's seems normal to me.
Twilight raised an eyebrow at that.
Twilight Sparkle: What are you talking about?
(Y/N): I've seen her like this before many times.
Twilight Sparkle: Are you sure? Because she looks like she's has an umbrella out in the daylight.
They all then look to see Pinkie whose tail is twitching and they then approach her.
Pinkie Pie: Hmm. . . Twitchy twitcha twitcha twitch.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie? What in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you up to?
Pinkie Pie: Oh! It's my tail! It's my tail! It's a-twitch a-twitchin'! And you know what that means!
Twilight Sparkle: Actually, Pinkie, I haven't the slightest idea.
(Y/N): I do. It's Pinkie Sense.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie what now?
Pinkie Pie: (Y/N)'s right Twilight. It's my Pinkie Sense and my tails twitchin' which means that stuff is going to start falling! You three better duck for cover.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Pinkie, it's not gonna rain.
(Y/N) then looks up to see Fluttershy flying above them carrying a large number of frogs in a wooden cat and he smirks at Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Why, there's barely even a cloud in the-ugh!
One of the frogs then land on Twilight's nose which makes her stare at it and the frog croaks.
Pinkie Pie: He just said "nice catch" in Frog.
(Y/N) chuckles at that and Twilight glares at him.
Fluttershy: Oh, I'm so, so sorry.
Everyone then looks up at Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: You okay, Twilight Sparkle? I just couldn't stand to see the pond getting so overpopulated, what with the frogs all hopping into each other and all, so I decided to fly as many as I can on over to Froggy Bottom Bog.
Twilight Sparkle: Of course you did.
(Y/N): Do you need any help Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: No thank you (Y/N), but thank you for asking. I better go now, bye-bye.
Fluttershy then flew away with the frogs she has with her while Twilight still has the lone frog on her face.
Pinkie Pie: Um. . . Twilight? You gotta little something on your face there.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, really? Did your Pinkie Sense tell you that, too?
Pinkie Pie: Nah! I could just see it.
Pinkie walks off singing to herself and the frog that was on Twilight's face hopped off and hopped away.
Twilight Sparkle: C'mon you two, let's continue our practice session where there's a little less commotion.
Spike then climbs onto Twilight's back as she and (Y/N) walk off.
Spike: Wow! That was amazing! Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and it did!
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, come on. She said that something would fall, and a frog just happened to fall right around the same time. A coincidence, nothing else to it.
(Y/N): Actually when it comes to Pinkie Sense Twilight, I wouldn't debate on it being a coincidence.
Twilight Sparkle: *chuckles* Oh please, (Y/N). That's ridiculous. No one can predict future events like that.
Pinkie then suddenly returns with her tail twitching.
Pinkie Pie: My tail! My tail! Twitch-a-twitch! Twitch-a-twitch! Somethin' else is gonna fall!
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Pinkie, please. Nothing else is gonna fa-AAAH!
Twilight then accidentally falls into an empty ditch when she wasn't looking.
Spike: Oh no, Twilight fell!
Spike then turns to (Y/N) with a worried look.
Spike: Is it. . . safe to go help her?
(Y/N) rolls his eyes at that as he jumps into the ditch and helps Twilight up from the ground.
(Y/N): Are you alright, Twilight?
Twilight Sparkle: Yes, thanks (Y/N).
Pinkie Pie: It's okay, my tail stopped twitching.
Pinkie says this as she walks off again singing to herself.
Spike: Ha ha! That was amazing!
Twilight Sparkle: Oh please.
Applejack then arrives to the scene.
Applejack: Uh, Twilight? (Y/N)? Why are y'all hanging out in a ditch?
Spike: Because Pinkie Pie predicted it.
(Y/N): It was basically the whole Pinkie Sense prediction thing again.
Twilight Sparkle: Honestly, you two, she did not predict that. Two coincidences in a row like this may be unlikely, but it's still easier to believe than twitchy tails that predict the future.
Applejack then froze and gasps at that.
Applejack: Twitchy tail? Pinkie Sense? Whoa! Nyu-uh!
Applejack then nervously ducked under a vegetable stand.
(Y/N): Don't worry Applejack. The prediction already happened when Twilight fell in that ditch.
Applejack sighs in relief at that and crawled out from the vegetable stand.
Twilight Sparkle: Don't tell me you believe in this stuff, too?
Applejack: I know it doesn't make much sense, but those of us who have been in Ponyville a while have learned over time that, if Pinkie's a-twichin', you better listen.
(Y/N): Believe me, when I first denied it. I paid the consequences.
Spike: Really? What happened?
(Y/N): Let's just say that I ended up being stinky for the rest of the day. Got sprayed by falling skunks.
Twilight Sparkle: Falling skunks? Falling skunks?! *laughs* That's the most ridiculous story I've ever heard. That can't be true at all.
Applejack: Nah! It's true. Ah saw it with mah own eyes. He smelled like a bunch of rotten apples in a forest.
(Y/N): *shudders* Don't remind me.
Right then, Pinkie reappeared again and this time, her ears are flopping up and down.
Pinkie Pie: My ears are flopping! My ears are flopping!
Spike cringed in fear from that.
Spike: What does that mean?!
Pinkie Pie: I'll start a bath for you.
Pinkie tells this to Twilight as she walks off and (Y/N), Applejack, and Spike back away from Twilight who chuckled softly.
Twilight Sparkle: A bath? This thing keeps on getting more ridiculous by the minute!
At that moment, a pony who was pulling a cart rushes behind Twilight and over a mud puddle which splashes mud all over Twilight which made her growl angrily.
(Y/N): *snickers* Guess I'm not the only one who needed a bath.
Twilight gives (Y/N) an annoyed glare when he said that.
Later on, (Y/N) was waiting outside of Sugarcube Corner while Pinkie was giving Twilight a bath to clean up the mud she was covered in and as he did, a scream was heard from inside the building.
(Y/N): Geez, what's going on in there?
Soon the door opened and (Y/N) looked to see Twilight and Pinkie leaving Sugarcube Corner and he walked together with them through the town.
(Y/N): Had a nice bath, Twilight?
Twilight Sparkle: It would have been if there wasn't an alligator in the tube at the time.
(Y/N): Oh, so that's why you yelled. You must've met Gummy.
Twilight then glares at (Y/N) when he mentioned that.
Twilight Sparkle: You knew about the alligator and you didn't tell me?!
(Y/N): Uh. . . sorry?
Twilight Sparkle: Ugh, forget it.
Pinkie Pie: (Y/N) met Gummy when he came to visit me at Sugarcube Corner one time. They always love to do staring contests with each other.
(Y/N): *chuckles* Yep, Gummy's a fun little guy.
(Flashback)
(Y/N) was at Sugarcube Corner with Pinkie as she was smiling that (Y/N) got to meet Gummy for the first time. (Y/N) was currently staring at a small light green alligator with pale purple eyes and a pale, light grayish pistachio underbelly.
Both Gummy and (Y/N) were staring at each other for a minute before (Y/N) decides to break the silence.
(Y/N): So. . . you're supposed Pinkie's pet alligator Gummy that she won't shut up about.
Gummy simply just blinks at that.
(Y/N): Ha! You blinked!
Pinkie Pie: Yay! (Y/N) wins the staring contest with you Gummy!
Gummy simply just blinks again at that.
(Y/N): *chuckles* I like this guy.
(End of Flashback)
(Y/N): Anyway, how's it going with the Pinkie Sense?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I still don't believe all this. . . "special power" stuff. It's just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo.
Pinkie Pie: What's not to believe? You do magic, what's the difference?
Twilight Sparkle: Huge! For one thing, magic is something you study and practice. It only happens when you decide to do it, and it's meant to make something specific that you choose to happen, happen. With you, uh, it makes no sense at all!
(Y/N): Well, to be honest Twilight, when it comes to Pinkie, common sense doesn't exist.
Pinkie Pie: Exactly what (Y/N) said Twilight. Sometimes it's a bunch of random things happening to my body at random times that supposedly predict the future. I call 'em "combos".
Twilight Sparkle: Combos?
Pinkie Pie: Sure! You know, like, ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. That means the sky is about to be graced with a beautiful rainbow!
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. . . sure.
Twilight then approaches the Golden Oak Library until catches something.
Pinkie Pie: Uh-oh, I feel a combo coming on. Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch!
(Y/N): Uh oh! I know that combo!
(Y/N) then blocks Twilight's path from the door which confuses her.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), why are you in my way?
(Y/N): Because of-
The door suddenly slams open at (Y/N) which made Twilight and Pinkie gasp and Spike comes backing out while carrying a stack of books. The door then creaks back and (Y/N) falls to the ground flat as a pancake. Both Twilight and Pinkie then rush over to him as he got up from the ground, rubbing his head.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N)! Are you alright?!
(Y/N): Ow! Clearly, I did not think that through. And to finish my sentence, the combo Pinkie did meant to watch out for opening doors.
Twilight Sparkle: What? Pinkie, I thought you said that combo meant "beautiful rainbow".
Pinkie Pie: Oh no-no-no-no-no. You're thinking of an ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. This was an ear flop, then eye flutter, then knee twitch. Are you okay (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Yeah, I'm fine. I'll remember not to do that next time.
Twilight Sparkle: I know you were just trying to protect me (Y/N), but next time try not to hurt yourself like that.
(Y/N): Yeah, thanks Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Still, I don't believe this.
Pinkie Pie: You don't believe because you don't understand.
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm. . .
Twilight had a thoughtful look on her face and (Y/N) could tell what Twilight was thinking as he went wide eyed.
(Y/N): No! No! No! Twilight, I know what you're thinking and let me just say that researching and experimenting Pinkie Sense is impossible. So, let it go already.
Twilight Sparkle: No way (Y/N). I will research Pinkie Sense and I will figure out how it works.
(Y/N): Ugh, fine. Then I might as well help you with it.
Later, in the basement of the Golden Oak Library, Twilight turned it into a laboratory where she has Pinkie hooked up to a machine with a helmet on her head with cords connected from it to a machine that was printing out graphs and her fore-hooves are strapped down to another machine while (Y/N) sat down on a chair nearby reading a book.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay. Now when you get another twitch, we'll have all kinds of scientific information.
Pinkie Pie: Okie-dokie-lokie!
They all waited for Pinkie to twitch. . . but nothing was happening.
Twilight Sparkle: Any twitches yet?
Pinkie Pie: Nopey-dopey!
They all waited some more and there were still no twitches coming from Pinkie which annoyed Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Now? Anything?
Pinkie then concentrated a little, but nothing came out.
Pinkie Pie: Wait! Hold on! Uhh, no.
Twilight Sparkle: Are you kidding me?! After a whole day of nonstop twitching, now that I've got you all hooked up, you're not getting a single one?
Pinkie Pie: I don't control it, they just come and go.
Twilight Sparkle: That makes no sense!
Pinkie Pie: Sometimes you just have to believe in things, even when you can't figure 'em out.
Twilight Sparkle: I will not believe in anything I cannot explain.
(Y/N): Oh, really? Explain this then. Why are there different dimensions? How does all of reality exists?
Twilight Sparkle: Uh. . . well. . .
Twilight looked up for a second before having a look of defeat on her face.
(Y/N): Yeah, there a ton of things in life we can't explain like Pinkie Sense. Just face the facts and accept it how it is Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, fair point, but this is Pinkie and she's like all of us.
(Y/N): Eh, in a few ways. . . not really.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh come on (Y/N). There is no possible way that in all of reality, Pinkie has as so much unpredictable power that it doesn't make sense.
(Y/N): Watch.
Pinkie Pie: Wait, you two! I'm feeling something. . .
Twilight then points at (Y/N) with an excited look.
Twilight Sparkle: Ha, speak of the devil! What is it Pinkie?! What is it?!
Twilight and (Y/N) looked in interest and waited for a twitch. . . but it only Pinkie's stomach growling. (Y/N) then started laughing hard as he was on the ground and Twilight gave him an annoyed look.
Pinkie Pie: It's my tummy! That usually means I'm hungry! Let's eat!
(Y/N): *chuckles* Actually as a matter of fact, I could go for a bite to eat as well.
Twilight Sparkle: Urgh. . . You know what?
Twilight then takes the cords off of the machine and turns it off.
Twilight Sparkle: Just forget it! I don't need to know if this is real or not. I don't need to understand it! I don't even care!
(Y/N): Well, in that case let's go somewhere to get a snack.
Pinkie Pie: Okie-dokie-lokie.
Pinkie then takes the helmet off of her head and hopped up the stairs past Twilight and (Y/N), towards the door. When they all reached the door, Pinkie stopped and started to twitch her beware of opening doors combo which (Y/N) noticed and he stopped, but Twilight ignored it.
(Y/N): Twilight stop!
(Y/N) then uses his magic to bring Twilight to wear they were.
(Y/N): Pinkie just did her beware of opening doors combo.
Twilight Sparkle: What?
The door suddenly slams open which is revealed to be opened by Spike.
(Y/N): Geez Spike, you don't need to be so dramatic and always slam open a door.
Spike: Sorry about that, I was just seeing if you guys were around.
Twilight jaw dropped and looked back and forth between both (Y/N) and Pinkie and the door that Spike opened which she pointed to.
Twilight Sparkle: Did you three plan this?
Spike: Plan what?
(Y/N): Nope just Pinkie Sense, Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Urgh! Enough with the Pinkie Sense excuses already! This is ridiculous. This can't be happening. This makes no sense. I have to figure this out.
Twilight then rushed up to (Y/N) with a serious look on her face.
Twilight Sparkle: And you're going to be needed for this (Y/N).
(Y/N) rolled his eyes at Twilight's demands.
(Y/N): Ugh, fine.
Later that day, Pinkie Pie is happily hopping along the road while a bush was quietly following her from a distance before stopping and a pair of binoculars popped out of it. It was Twilight who is wearing a safari pith helmet and (Y/N) then pops up next to Twilight with an annoyed look as he was also wearing a pith helmet and carrying a pencil along with a notebook to take notes for Twilight.
(Y/N): Seriously Twilight, were the helmets really necessary? This isn't some kind of safari journey and Pinkie is not some kind of wild animal.
Twilight Sparkle: I want to get as much research as possible (Y/N). And when it comes to scientific stuff like this, you have to do it in style.
(Y/N): *sarcastically* Really? That's more of something Rarity would say if you ask me.
?: Twilight.
A voice surprised both (Y/N) and Twilight as they both looked behind them to see Spike.
Twilight Sparkle: Honestly, Spike, don't you know better than to sneak up on ponies?
Spike: Oh, sorry, but, um, well, isn't that what you're doing?
Twilight Sparkle: No! I'm doing scientific research. I'm observing Pinkie Pie, scientific name: Pinkius Pieicus, in its natural habitat.
(Y/N): Again! She's not a wild animal!
Twilight Sparkle: In my case she is. There's something fishy going on with the whole twitchy prediction thing, and I'm getting to the bottom of it. So, shh. Come on, Pinkius Pieicus is on the move.
(Y/N) rolled his eyes as Twilight picked up the bush she's hiding in and they both went after Pinkie with Spike following them as well.
(Y/N), Twilight, and Spike followed Pinkie to the playground in front of the schoolhouse where Twilight watched through her binoculars and saw Pinkie rub her nose.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, (Y/N) write this down.
(Y/N) did as he was told with a bored look on his face.
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm. . . Itchy nose. . .
Pinkie then hid under a giant horseshoe and Twilight got excited over seeing that.
Twilight Sparkle: Aha! That makes no sense. See? She's hiding like something's about to fall from the sky, but a twitchy tail means something's gonna fall from the sky, not an itchy nose.
(Y/N) then remembers something about Pinkie's Pinkie Sense having an itchy nose and he gains a worried look.
(Y/N): I don't think somethings going to fall!
(Y/N) then puts up a bubble shield around all three of them which confused Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N)! What are you doing? I'm in the middle of explaining-
Spike: That's why!
Spike pointed up and Twilight turns around with a surprised look to see bees trying to sting (Y/N)'s shield, but they couldn't even put a crack in it.
Twilight Sparkle: Are those bees?
(Y/N): Yeah! And you were only half right with that one. An itchy nose actually means that something is going to appear from the sky, not fall from the sky.
Spike: Huh. That actually makes sense.
Spike takes out a handbook and writes what (Y/N) said down.
(Y/N): Hold on. Let me take care of this.
(Y/N) then uses a spell to take a cloud and he created a giant gust of wind that blew the bees far away.
Twilight Sparkle: Phew. Okay, now let's keep observing Pinkius Pieicus.
(Y/N): You're still calling her that?!
Twilight Sparkle: Like I said, necessary for scientific research.
(Y/N), Twilight, and Spike followed Pinkie to Sweet Apple Acres and were spying from behind a bale of hay next to the barn.
Spike: What's she doing now?
Twilight Sparkle: Smelling a flower.
Spike: Holy guacamole! I wonder what that means?
(Y/N): That. . . has nothing to do with Pinkie Sense since she's directly interacting with the flower.
Twilight Sparkle: Wait! I'm getting something. Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch.
(Y/N): Opening doors!
(Y/N) said this as him and Spike moved away from the barn while Twilight laughed.
Twilight Sparkle: You two really believe this stuff don't you? Here, let me show you there's nothing to be afraid of.
Twilight then walked up against the barn door and leaned against it.
Twilight Sparkle: There you see? There's nothing for you to be worried about.
(Y/N): Uh. . . it may not be that door Twilight. Doors can open from below you too like a cellar.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh please, there's not a cell- WHOA!
Twilight was about to fall into the apple cellar, but (Y/N) caught her with his magic to prevent her from falling in.
(Y/N): Told you so. Look.
(Y/N) pointed at an open red door on the ground with a flight of stairs.
(Y/N): See? An opening door.
Applejack then pokes her head from the cellar.
Applejack: (Y/N)! Twilight! You came to visit my new apple cellar, how nice.
(Y/N): Yeah, how's it going down there by the way.
Applejack: We're still getting things set up, but we're nearly done.
Twilight Sparkle: Ugh! We're wasting time! We need to keep following Pinkie!
(Y/N), Twilight, and Spike followed Pinkie into the park and were spying from behind a bench.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay you two. Take this down.
Twilight then looked closely at Pinkie to see that her tail was twitching.
Twilight Sparkle: Twitchy tail.
Spike: Twitchy tail? *gasps* Twitchy tail!
(Y/N) then looked up and sees a bunch of work Pegasi and sees some a bunch of stuff over Twilight and he goes wide eyed.
Twilight Sparkle: Hush, Spike! We can't let Pinkie know we're here, remember?
Spike: Something's gonna fall, something's gonna fall! Run for your lives.
Twilight Sparkle: Ugh, Spike honestly, you're overreact-
(Y/N): TWILIGHT! WATCH OUT!
(Y/N) tackles Twilight to the ground as a bunch of stuff falls onto the ground which included a flower pot, an anvil, a carriage carrying hay, and a piano at the spot they were originally at. (Y/N) looks at the objects with a shocked look on his face.
(Y/N): That was close!
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. . . it was. And. . . um, (Y/N).
(Y/N) looked back at Twilight and sees the position they are both in as (Y/N) is on top of Twilight and their faces are inches away from each other. They both had blushes on their faces and Twilight's heart was beating fast. (Y/N) then got off Twilight rubbing the back of his head.
(Y/N): S-Sorry about that Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: N-No. It's okay, you were just protecting me. (Thoughts) I kind of liked it too.
(Y/N): Anyway, we should probably take a break.
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, I agree.
Pinkie Pie is just walking around doing her own thing until Applejack approaches her who is carrying a bucket full of apples.
Pinkie Pie: Hey, Applejack. Whatcha doin'?
Applejack: Takin' more apples to my new apple cellar. How 'bout you, Pinkie? Whatchu doin'?
Pinkie Pie: Oh, letting Twilight and (Y/N) secretly follow me all day without me knowing.
This causes Twilight to be shocked as she came out of hiding along with (Y/N) and Spike.
Twilight Sparkle: You mean you knew all along?! Why didn't you tell me?
Pinkie Pie: *giggles* Silly, that would've spoiled the secret!
(Y/N): You know I kind of had a feeling you knew about us following you Pinkie.
Twilight then glares at (Y/N).
Twilight Sparkle: What?! How could you know?!
(Y/N): If I had experience with knowing Pinkie Sense, then I could definitely say that Pinkie's Pinkie Sense could tell where we were.
Twilight facehooved at that.
Spike: Tail. . . still twitching?
Pinkie Pie: All done, clear skies from here on in, as far as I can tell.
As Pinkie said that, her entire body starts to shake and twitch all over.
(Y/N): That's a new one!
Spike: Oh no! What does that one mean?
Pinkie Pie: Dunno, never gotten any like it before, but whatever that shudder's about, it's a doozy. Something you'd never expect to happen is gonna happen!
Pinkie's body then twitched all over a second time.
Pinkie Pie: And it's gonna happen. . . at Froggy Bottom Bog!
Applejack: *gasps* That's where Fluttershy's headed!
Spike: Oh no! Is it about her?
Pinkie Pie: Uh, I'm not sure.
(Y/N): Well, we need to go right now then and make sure she's okay!
Twilight Sparkle: Calm down, everypony. All we know right now is that Pinkie Pie just got a case of the shivers. That's all.
Twilight then realizes that everypony ran off which annoyed her so she decided to follow them as well and she put Spike on her back.
Spike: Hey! I thought you didn't believe in this stuff?
Twilight Sparkle: I don't. I just want to be there to see the look on Pinkie's face when we find out nothing's wrong.
Pinkie Pie: Okie-dokie!
As they got closer and closer to Froggy Bottom Bog, everyone stopped running to look around and Pinkie started twitching again which Twilight smirked at.
Twilight Sparkle: Cold? Need a jacket or something?
Pinkie Pie: No thanks, I'm fine. *shivers*
(Y/N) then walked up beside Pinkie and put his hoof around her.
(Y/N): Don't worry Pinkie. If there's one thing that will help us in this situation, it's definitely your Pinkie Sense since it's the most wonderful thing on you.
Pinkie Pie: Aw, thanks (Y/N).~
Pinkie rubbed her cheeks on (Y/N)'s which made him blush a bit and Twilight gave Pinkie an extremely jealous glare.
Twilight Sparkle: (Thoughts) Oh, I see. She's using that Pinkie Sense nonsense to make me jealous.
Spike: So. . . Whadda'ya think happened to Fluttershy?
Applejack: I hope nothin'.
Spike: I know, but, whadda'ya think happened?
Applejack: I'm tryin' not to think about it.
(Y/N): Yeah, Spike. Let's just hope that Fluttershy is okay and nothing deeper.
Applejack: Look! There's Froggy Bottom Bog!
Everypony then went in the area of Froggy Bottom Bog and started to look around for Fluttershy.
Applejack: Fluttershy?
(Y/N): Fluttershy? Are you here?
Pinkie Pie: Fluttershy?
When Pinkie looked under a lilypad, Spike hopped on Pinkie's head and found Fluttershy and he hugged her out of relief.
Spike: Fluttershy! You're okay!
Fluttershy: Of course.
Applejack: Phew, what a relief.
Pinkie Pie: I'm so glad everything's all right.
(Y/N): Yeah, now that we know that Fluttershy's safe, we can get the heck out of here.
Twilight Sparkle: Sorry, I know it's not nice to gloat but. . . Aha! I told you there was nothing to worry about, and I was right.
Some green smoke then appeared around the group making them cough as Twilight continued gloating over how right she was.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie said whatever she was shuddering about was a *cough* doozy, and *cough* and the only *cough* doozy here is how right I am.
Everypony then looked behind Twilight as something was rising up out of the swamp and they got extremely worried looks and they all hid behind (Y/N) out of fear.
Applejack: Um. . . Twilight?
Twilight ignored Applejack and kept on gloating.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie's made a lot of predictions today but *cough* ugh, what is that smell? But what we've shown here is that there's no point in believing *cough* in anything you can't see for yourself.
(Y/N): Uh. . . then you might wanna look behind you.
Twilight then looked behind her and looked up and was shocked to see that a four-headed hydra was behind them.
Twilight Sparkle: I see it. . . but I don't believe it!
Pinkie Pie: Is that a hydra?!
Applejack: Who cares? Run!
Everypony then runs off for their lives, but (Y/N) stopped and looked back to see Pinkie back up slowly from it in fear. The hydra was just about to take a bite of Pinkie, but (Y/N) grabbed her by the tail and pulled her away and the hydra hit it's head in the swamp.
(Y/N): Let's go, Pinkie!
Pinkie then runs off alongside (Y/N) as they catch up with their friends. They all ran through the swampland while dodging the hydra's heads which tried to attack the group, but they all kept using the swampland's environment to their advantage.
The group then reached a dead-end until Twilight looked around to where there is someplace they could all run to.
Twilight Sparkle: Everypony up that hill!
Spike: Help!
Everypony looked back to see Spike stuck in the marsh with the hydra closing in.
(Y/N): Don't worry, I gotcha!
(Y/N) used his magic to quickly lift Spike out of the marsh and brought him to the group before the hydra could attack the young dragon.
The group then quickly ran up the hill as the hydra refuses to give up going after the group.
Twilight Sparkle: I think we're gonna make it.
Spike: But Pinkie's still shuddering!
Spike points to Pinkie who is still twitching before she stopped.
Pinkie Pie: Oh, lookie there, it stopped.
However, it started to happen again as she said that.
Pinkie Pie: O-h-h-h, t-h-e-r-e i-t i-s a-g-a-i-n!
The group keeps running until they all made it to a cliff with only thin stone pillars to serve as stepping stones to the other side. They all then felt the ground shake and they turned around to see the Hydra climbing up the hill.
Twilight Sparkle: He'll be up here in no time!
(Y/N) then got a determined look on his face as he stepped forward.
(Y/N): Everypony get across that cliff! I'll handle the hydra!
Everypony gasps at (Y/N)'s demands.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), don't! It's too dangerous!
Pinkie Pie: Yeah! You did this with Nightmare Moon and the Ursa Minor, and now this?!
(Y/N): Don't worry, I plan on distracting it to buy you enough time.
Applejack: Sugarcube, why do ya have to keep doing this for us?
(Y/N): Because I care about all of you and it's my job to protect my friends! Now go!
(Y/N) shoots a magic beam from his horn to knock the hydra back a bit and he flew after it.
Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy: (Y/N)!
Spike: He's going to take on that thing on his own!?
Twilight Sparkle: I guess so. Come on, everypony! He's trying to buy us some time to get across, so let's use it.
As the mares and Spike tried to get over the cliff, (Y/N) is currently facing the hydra as he flies up face to face with it and he hits his hooves together.
(Y/N): Hey hydra! Why don't pick on someone your own size?
The hydra gives (Y/N) a confused look as he shrugs his shoulders.
(Y/N): . . .Okay. Even though you're way bigger than me. Doesn't matter, bring it!
The hydra roars at (Y/N) as it tries to bite (Y/N) and he dodges it with ease. He then shoots a magic beam from his horn at a head of one of the hydra's and when it hit, the hydra got stunned as it was blinded by the beam that (Y/N) shot at it.
Seeing an opening, (Y/N) dives down and his entire body glows (F/C) and he flew towards the hydra's stomach and he used the speed of his flight to push it up into the sky. As soon as they were above the clouds, (Y/N) stopped pushing the hydra in the sky and flew to face it once. The hydra didn't notice at first that it was hundreds of feet in the air as it roared at (Y/N). (Y/N) just smirks at the hydra.
(Y/N): Heh, aren't you forgetting where you are buddy?
(Y/N) points down to the ground and the hydra looks where he was pointing and the heads of the hydra all looked at each other before they all gave bored looks as they know what was going to happen next. The hydra then falls fast to the ground and (Y/N) puts some energy into his hoof before diving fast after the hydra as well.
(Y/N): You're finished!
(Y/N) dives down extremely fast at the hydra and charges up his hoof before he punches it hard in the stomach and it got sent deep into the swamp while creating a large splash of water.
(Y/N): Next time, think twice before threatening me or my friends. Not that there will be a next time for you.
(Y/N) then flies back to the where his friends are and he saw them on the other side of the cliff that they have crossed over and landed in front of them. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy then ran up to hug him tightly.
Pinkie Pie: (Y/N)! I'm so glad that you're okay!
Fluttershy: That was scary. I was really worried about you.
(Y/N): Yeah, I'm sorry that I made you all worried, but I couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
Applejack: It's alright (Y/N). We get it, ya care about us that much and ya hate to see your friends in danger.
(Y/N): Exactly Applejack. Besides, it's also part of the promise I kept to my mother.
Applejack: Yeah, we get that you also want to keep your mom's word.
Twilight Sparkle: All that matters is that you and all of us are okay and I'd say we just had ourselves one heck of a doozy.
Pinkie's body then twitches all over again.
Pinkie Pie: That wasn't it.
Twilight Sparkle: Huh?
Spike: What wasn't what?
Applejack: What are you talking about, Pink?
Pinkie Pie: The hydra that (Y/N) fought wasn't the doozy. I'm still getting the shudders. *shudders* You see? There it is again. Whatever the doozy was at Froggy Bottom Bogg, my Pinkie Sense says it still hasn't happened.
\Twilight didn't know how to respond as she was in extreme shock at that.
Twilight Sparkle: Huh? But I- WHAT?! The hydra wasn't the doozy?! How could it not be the doozy?! What could be doozier than that?!
Pinkie Pie: Dunno, but it just wasn't it.
That was the last straw for Twilight as she got SO angry at that her entire coat went white and her mane and tail practically went up in flames. Everypony was worried about what was going to happen as they all recoiled in fear. Eventually, Twilight stopped as she had burn marks all over her and she fell to the ground exhausted and the burn marks slowly came off of Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Ugh. . . I give up. . .
Spike: Give what up, Twi?
Twilight Sparkle: The fight. I can't fight it anymore. I don't understand how, why, or what, but Pinkie Sense somehow. . . makes sense. I don't see how it does, but it just does. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean it's not true.
Pinkie Pie: Y-Y-Y-You m-m-mean you b-b-b-believe?
Twilight Sparkle: Yup, I guess I do.
Then, as if magic happened, Pinkie's entire body finally stopped shuddering and twitching.
Pinkie Pie: *gasps* That was it! That's the doozy!
Twilight Sparkle: What? What is?
Pinkie Pie: You believing! I never expected that to happen! That was the doozy, oh and, oh what a doozy of a doozy it was!
Pinkie then walks off singing and (Y/N) thinks for a second before getting an idea in his mind.
(Y/N): Wait a second! It makes sense!
Fluttershy: What does (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Pinkie's doozy. If I hadn't known any better, I think that Pinkie's Pinkie Sense must've been mad at Twilight for not taking it seriously, so it made that doozy on Pinkie.
Spike: Wow, that does make sense.
(Y/N): Well, let's head back home everypony. We've all enough doozies for one day. I say we take the time to relax.
Everypony nodded at that as they all head back home to their respective places for the day.
The next day, (Y/N) was just walking out of his house and when he got up to the Golden Oak Library, he hears giggling inside and got curious so he steps inside to see Twilight and Pinkie with umbrella hats on which made him chuckle.
(Y/N): I guess you two are already prepared for the Pinkie Sense huh?
Twilight Sparkle: Yep. Do you want an umbrella hat too, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Sure, I'll take one.
Pinkie then pulls an umbrella hat out of nowhere and places it on (Y/N)'s head. Spike then enters the room which Twilight notices.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, good, Spike, you're here. Take a letter.
Spike: With pleasure, Twilight.
Spike was about to take a letter until he got distracted by the umbrella hats that the three were wearing.
Twilight Sparkle: Dear Princess Celestia, I'm happy to report that- Spike, what have I been saying about focus?
Spike: I know, but I. . . well. . .
(Y/N): What's wrong, Spike? Never thought you'd see us with umbrella hats on?
Spike: Not really, no.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie's tail's a-twitchin'. What else can we do?
Everyone then laughs at that for a little bit until Twilight got Spike's attention again to write the letter to Princess Celestia.
Twilight Sparkle: I am happy to report that I now realize there are wonderful things in this world you just can't explain, but that doesn't necessarily make them any less true. It just means you have to choose to believe in them, and sometimes it takes a friend to show you the way.
Pinkie Pie: Honk!
Spike: Honk.
Twilight Sparkle: Always your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.
(Y/N), Twilight, and Pinkie then left the library as Pinkie's tail twitches again which (Y/N) and Twilight notice.
(Y/N): There it goes again.
Twilight Sparkle: I wonder what's gonna drop outta the sky this time?
Pinkie Pie: You never know.
The three then walk off and Spike goes out of a window to send the letter to Princess Celestia, but instead something then lands right in front of him as it was Princess Celestia herself which shocks Spike.
Spike: Twitchy tail?
Princess Celestia takes the scroll that Spike was about to send and she flies while Spike was amazed.
Spike: Holy guacamole!
