Try again, Twi. You can do it!
This spell's a toughie. But I feel lucky this time.
One, two…
Hi!
Pinkie, why did you do that?
Because hugs are fun-o-riffic! Especially if you're throwing around a friend.
What are you doing?
Trying to turn that apple into an orange.
But you kind of threw her aim off.
What a cute orange birdie!
Do me next, Twilight. Do me, do me!
Ooo, Rarity, wanna see Twilight turning me into an orange?
It's gonna be fun-a-fun-fun!
As fun as creating this haute couture ensemble
that I just finished making? Delightful, no?
This is terrible!
I admit it's perhaps not my finest work, but I…
You had total awesome amazing fun and I missed out on it?
Wait.
What if there is more awesome amazing fun with my friends happening somewhere out there right now that I'm missing out too!
We weren't going to turn her into an orange, I swear!
Hi there, Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?
This punk cloud got so heavy it's making fog.
Figured I'd thin this bad boy out so it floats back up.
Ooo, fun!
Gotta go!
Thanks… Pinkie.
Hey, Applejack!
That looks like fun, can I join you?
Next time I'll pull you.
Fluttershy!
There…
you…
are…
doing…
anything…
fun?
Not especially.
Oh, good. Fun… is hard.
Feeling better, Pinkie?
Abso-tutely-lutely.
Thanks for letting me rest in your butterfly grove, while I get my Pinkie-strength back.
Thats, what (you have) friends for.
That's just a thing!
I've got so many wonderful friends having fun in every last corner of Ponyville.
I can't figure it out how to keep handle with it all.
It's driving me even more coco-loco than usual!
I can promise to not doing anything fun at all if that would help.
You are such a good friend!
There you are Pinkie.
We were lookin' everywhere for you girl.
Hey Pinkie.
Got some fun plan this afternoon thought you may wanna know about.
Well I'll be an apple crisp.
I'm here for the same reason.
This is perfect!
Everyone now will bring their fun to me.
This will solve everything! Why didn't I think about that?
Actually, what I meant is after I'm done whipping up today's weather
I'll be chilling about the lake catching some rays.
Wanna hang?
I am so there!
And mah family is havin' a barn-raise in this afternoon at Sweet Apple Acres.
And I'm also so there!
But that's when I'll be at the swimming hole.
Oh, well, doesn't matter. Whichever one you choose is okay with me.
Me too.
Choose?!
One… two…
Pinkie!
What in a wide wide world of Equestria are you doing now?!
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 barn-raising,
and be back in time to see Rainbow Dash hit the water after doing a double-flip!
If I can cut my time by only twenty minutes, I'm good.
Oh, Pinkie. I'm afraid no matter how hard you try,
the only way to pull something like that off if there's more of you to go around.
That's it, Twilight!
The legend of the Mirror Pool!
Legend of the who… what now?
Pinkie!
I'm familiar with loads of legends and I never heard of…
This is mean practice is over?
Of course not. Back to work.
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!"
What's that?! Uh! I heard a voice!
It was me.
Stop scratching up, you brambles! It…
The Mirror Pool!
Oh, and there's that voice again!
Ah Pinkie, you have got to stop talking to yourself.
Starti-ing… now.
"And into her own reflection she stared…
yearning for one whose reflection she shared,
and solemnly sweared not to be scared…
at the prospect of being doubly mared!"
Wow, the legend is true. It really worked!
Oh wait. I promised that I won't talk to myself anymore.
I should say something to her!
Or will that's still be talking to myself?
Execuse me, Me?
Can I have a word with you… I mean, me.
Listen, I can see you're having lots of fun, but…
FUN! Did someone said fun? Where?
I did, over here.
I thought someone said something about fun!
Over here? Over here?
Or is it here? Where is it? Where is it?
Whoa, calm yourself,
there's loads of fun to be had in Ponyville with my girls!
Trot over on back to Ponyville with me and I'll tell you all about them.
…and there is Rarity.
She is the one with all the fancy clothes and ribbons and stuff!
I'm thinking she can make us all matching t-shirts that say "Team Pinkie", and…
Is this Ponyville? Where's the fun? Where's the fun?
Uh, well, let's see.
Applejack's having a barn-raising and…
It's that way!
Wait, come back!
Don't forget to meet me back here to tell me everything about everything,
like I was there myself!
Because, I'm you, and, and you're me, and…
Oh my gosh! This is the greatest plan ever!
Now off to double my fun!
Let's rock this pool, ponies!
Coming in, Dashie?
The water is great, it's totally wet and everything!
I don't know…
Cloud busting was tougher work than usual today.
I'm kind of exhausted.
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.
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.
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.
I couldn't disappoint them.
Come join us, we have plenty of hay juice and marmalade to go around.
Don't we, critters?
Wait! But that sounds super fun!
But Applejohn sounds super fun too. Uh…
And… And… I can't do one without missing out on the other!
Who's… Applejohn?
Two fun things, at once! But which, which?
Can't decide!
Trouble breathing…
Walls closing in!
Walls? But we're outside!
Goodness… Was it something I said?
YES!
So, you see, that's how I'm able to have fun at two places at once.
Duplicates of you, huh?
Yeah, sure, Pinkie.
Look, I'm just gearing up to catch some Zs, so…
Gotcha! I'll have the rest of my fun really quietly.
How'd you do that?
Just trying to show some consideration for my sleepy friend.
Oh, oh, gotta run.
Looks like I'm trying to get my attention.
Execuse me.
A-and me.
Oh, oh, tell me all about it!
Did they pull the walls of the barn slo-ow or fast?
I…
Maybe slow-to-medium fast, somewhere in that range?
I…
Oh, 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.
Yeah, her. She offered something else fun for me to do.
A picnic! With cute little animals!
Ah, 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.
Now 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?
C'mon, would I lie to me?
…and solemnly sweared not to be scared,
at the prospect of being doubly mared!
Look! A double me!
I think you mean a double double me?
Plus, another double double me,
which makes two double double mes or a double double double me if you will.
Did somebody say "fun"? Where?
Now, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy covered
plus one extra Pinkie Pie in case we got
an extra invite from somepony else.
Perfect!
Okay, let's go!
…and solemnly sweared not to be scared,
at the prospect of being doubly mared!
Okay, good enough, Pinkie Pies moving out!
…not to be scared,
at the prospect of being doubly mared!
What? In the name of pink?
Knock it off!
To Ponyville everyone!
Follow me!
Ugh, yes, it's fun there.
Okay, between the bunch of us we should have
every nook and cranny in Ponyville covered at all times.
An unprecedented and massive undertaking.
But first, a pop-quiz on the names I taught you.
Applejack!
Fluttershy!
Pinkie Pie!
Excellent!
Okay, let's get on with this folks, fan out on three!
One…
Eh, good enough.
What the!
Wow! Pinkie Pie wasn't kidding about the duplicates!
Except down there's triplicates…
and quadruplicates!
Dashie's gonna love this!
Oh, as I'll push her around on this floaty thing,
it'll be fun and relaxing!
No more Pinkies!
I can't take it!
Gosh, uh…
I wonder, what fun is raising the Applejack's barn right now!
Maybe I'd better go check.
Oh, you! Looks like I haven't missed a thing!
I wanna know right now, where all you Pinkies came from,
so I could found who is responsible
for ya'll ruining our barn-raising!
I… think I'm pretty busy right now, so…
maybe we should talk a little later?
Ya'll come back here
and clean after yourselves this instant!
Oh, no, what have I done!
What have I done!
My poor friends!
Ok, everypony,
please, calm down.
Calm down?!
I just had a Pinkie hurricane
raging through my shop!
And they trashed our critter picnic!
Please, everypony,
hang on while I try to figure something out!
Come on, Spike.
I gotta try to remember the name of that legend she mentioned.
Ah-ha, here it is!
The legend of the Mirror Pond!
It describes the spell I can use to send them back where they came from!
That's perfect! Let's go.
But there's a catch,
if I can't figure out which is the real Pinkie,
I might send her back by mistake!
Well, we'll just have to figure out
who the real one is, then.
Shouldn't be too hard.
Does anypony here know how we can tell the real Pinkie Pie from the rest of them?
Uh, I don't know.
Twilight! I have to talk to you, I need your help!
Excuse me, whoever you are,
but I'm not talking to any of you Pinkies,
unless you're the real Pinkie.
Oh, but… but I am the real Pinkie!
No, you're not! I'm the real Pinkie!
I'm the real Pinkie!
No, I'm the real Pinkie!
I'm the real Pinkie!
No, I'm the real Pinkie!
I'm the re-e-e-al Pinkie!
How in tarnation are we supposed to tell,
which is the real Pinkie?
I have no idea.
Me either.
Oh, we've all got the same adorable tails,
we all got the same adorable manes,
all of us got the same adorable hooves!
Which one of us is the real Pinkie?!
I haven't the slightest clue!
And if I cannot tell as apart,
who can?
This is just hopeless!
Maybe that one's the real Pinkie.
Please. The real Pinkie Pie never sat that long in one place her whole life!
I'm gonna go ask!
Of course she's gonna say she's the real Pinkie!
They all do!
You're wasting your time.
So, let me guess:
You're the real Pinkie Pie
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.
Oh Spike, how're we gonna do this?
I can't risk sending the real Pinkie back into the pond!
I miss the real Pinkie.
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!
You know, that's not a bad idea!
This is great! If I pass, I get to be with my friends again!
But what if I don't pass?
Oh, what if I'm not the real Pinkie Pie?
Stupid magic mirror water!
This is all your fault!
And mine…
Hey, Twilight!
I've been looking all over for you, ponies.
What are you all doing here?
Fluttershy spoke with the wooden critters,
and they've agreed to take us into their home till the Pinkie storm dies down.
You guys, we're gonna fix this!
And I know exactly how.
Are we gonna lose our real Pinkie Pie?
I don't think so.
Now come along,
I've already got Applejack and her family rounding up all the Pinkies.
Whoa, you Pinkies! Whoa!
Oh, they wanna play chase!
This is fun too!
Oh, gimme a rest.
Welcome, Pinkies, welcome.
Please have a seat and make yourselves comfortable.
Okay, I suppose you can't be comfortable staying in one place,
but have a seat anyway.
Sit DOWN!
Better!
I suppose you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today.
For fun?
No. Just the opposite, actually.
Wait up, I got one more.
Found this one, poking at the ground with her hoof drawing frowny faces.
Have her come seat with the others.
Pinkies, you've been brought here to take a test.
Don't worry. It's a simple test.
About as simple as they come!
And whoever passes, gets to stay!
Curtain, please.
The test
will be watching paint dry!
On your mark.
Get set.
GO!
Whoa, this is so exciting!
Okay,
maybe not that exciting.
Oh, hey, look at the birdie!
Is that… Is that a frog crossed with an orange?
Cool!
Where?
Look what I can do with my hooves!
Betcha can't make a face crazier than
this!
I can't take it any more!
Somepony's making baloon animals!
What? Where?
Pinkie, you can look away now.
I passed?
You passed.
You're the only Pinkie who kept staring at the wall.
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.
Knew you'd be up to the challenge.
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 speand 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.
Hi, Pinkie Pie.
We were thinking we should go out and celebrate.
You up for some wheelbarrel races?
Or I could take everypony on a cloud ride!
I could throw a party with punch and zesty cucumber sandwiches!
You wanna know exactly what I feel like doing right now?
That looks like fun.
