My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Feeling Pinkie Keen

A/N: (Merlin is outside the writers studio and he is in the middle of casting a spell while doing his best to ignore the argument between Dede42 and her accountant, a strict-looking man in a suit and tie.)

Dede42: What do you mean all of the construction needs to be undone?! They just finished the paint job and Merlin is in the middle of magic-proofing the place!

Accountant: (in an unapologetic tone) I'm sorry, but I went back over the numbers and this isn't very cost effective.

Dede42: What?!

Applejack: (looks at the two arguing humans and turns to Sunrise Blossom) What's goin' on with those two?

Sunrise Blossom: The accountant wants all of the construction undone since he thinks it isn't cost effective, which is dumb since he approved the use of the funds in the first place.

Applejack: He's one of 'em darn bit pinchers isn't he?

Sunrise Blossom: Yup, what the humans call a penny-pinchers, and it's too late to undo all of the changes.

Dede42: (her voice raised) Listen, Scrooge, the work is done and once Merlin is done magic-proofing the place, I'll be having Discord test- uh, has anyone seen Discord?

Applejack: No since yesterday.

Sunrise Blossom: Yeah, I haven't seen him since he helped with the Art of the Dress story.

Pinkie Pie: (runs into the backyard with her tail twitching) Twitchy tail! Twitchy tail!

Dede42: Twitchy Tail-? Uh oh! Run!

Accountant: (watches as they run and hide under things) Why are you all hiding? (He hears a whistling noise and looks up) What the-?

Discord: (falls out of the sky screaming) AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! (he and the accountant disappears in a cloud of dust and a very loud THUD. When the dust clears, there is a Discord-shaped hole in the ground and moans) Ooowww…

Pinkie Pie: (comes out of hiding and peers into the hole) You okay down there?

Discord: (climbs out of the hole with the unconscious accountant, who he tosses onto the ground) I've been better. (he snaps his fingers and the hole disappears) Why can't I teleport into the writers studio like before? I just tried and ended up in orbit.

Merlin: I just finished magic-proofing the building with spells to prevent teleporting spells from working. If you want to go inside, you have to use the door.

Discord: (fumes) Is that really necessary?

Dede42: After all the break-ins and unexpected arrivals that have been turning my hair silver? Yes, yes, it's necessary.

Discord: (notices her short dark hair with a few silver hairs here and there) Did you get a haircut?

Dede42: Yes I did.

Discord: I prefer it longer.

Rarity: (enters the backyard) Well I think it's lovely, darling.

Dede42: Thank you, Rarity. (she looks at the camera) Hey, Roleplayer48, I'm wondering what other Disney movies you like? Let me know!

Pinkie Pie: (sees her tail start to twitch again) Twitchy tail! Twitchy tail!

Applejack: Run!

Accountant: (wakes up as the group runs for cover) What is-? (he gets pancaked by a large box full of books) Ow…

Derpy: (pokes her head out of the TARDIS that is hovering above the ground) Oops! Sorry!

Dr. Hooves: (pokes his head out and shakes his head) Oh, Derpy…

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: PINKIE SENSE?

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville and Twilight Sparkle was learning a new spell with Spike assistance. Concentrating, she used her magic to turn a necklace of leaves he was wearing around his neck into a tux and the stick in his hand into a cane. She was about to focus on the rock on the baby dragon's head when he looked away briefly.

"Eyes over here, Spike!" she snapped.

Spike immediately looked back at her and she began to turn the rock into a top hat. "Uh, sorry," he apologized, but just as the transformation was complete, he looked away again, and the hat turned back into a rock, conking him on the head, and he face-planted with the tux and cane reverting to their true forms.

Twilight Sparkle came over and scolded him once she was certain that he was ok. "For this to work, it's crucial we keep our concentration totally on the-" she was interrupted when a certain pink pony ran by going "Ooh!" and when the baby dragon started to follow, she stopped him. "Spike! This magic needs our full attention to make it happen. There's no other way!"

"I can't help it," said Spike, still watching the pink pony. "Look!" And they both watched as Pinkie Pie, who was wearing an umbrella hat, snuck around the town, acting stranger then usual.

Twilight Sparkle scoffed. "Ugh, never mind her. She's just being Pinkie Pie."

"Super-extra Pinkie Pie today," Spike remarked, watching the pink pony.

Pinkie Pie paused near one of the buildings and looked at her tail, which was twitching. "Hmm… Twitchy twitcha twitcha twitch."

"Pinkie Pie?" Twilight Sparkle asked, walking up to her with Spike. "What in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you up to?"

"Oh! It's my tail!" Pinkie Pie gasped, her tail was still twitching. "It's my tail! It's a-twitch a-twitchin'! And you know what that means!"

"Actually, Pinkie, I haven't the slightest idea," Twilight Sparkle admitted, watching the twitching tail.

Pinkie Pie grabbed her twitching tail. "The twitchin' means my Pinkie Sense is telling me that stuff's gonna start falling!" she replied, looking around wildly. "You two better duck for cover."

"Oh, Pinkie, it's not gonna rain," said Twilight Sparkle, amused. "Why, there's barely even a cloud in the-ugh!" She made a face when a frog landed on her, croaking.

"He just said "nice catch" in Frog," Pinkie Pie remarked while Twilight Sparkle made a face that could be barely seen by the frog, which was still croaking.

"Oh, I'm so, so sorry," Fluttershy apologized from above them, flapping her wings to keep afloat with a wagon, a bag, and a basket filled with frogs that was in her mouth, plus there was a frog on her head. "You okay, Twilight Sparkle? I just couldn't stand to see the pond getting so over-populated, 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 Bogg."

Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes, which wasn't easy with a frog crawling all over it. "Of course you did."

"Bye-bye!" said Fluttershy cheerfully and flew off with the frogs.

Pinkie Pie watched her fly off and then looked back at the purple unicorn, who was looking annoyed. "Um… Twilight? You gotta little somethin' on your face there," she informed her.

"Oh, really? Did your Pinkie Sense tell you that, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked sarcastically, shaking the frog off her face.

"Nah! I could just see it," said the pink pony and she bounced off. "La-la-la-la-la…"

Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes again and began walking away. "C'mon, Spike, let's continue our practice session where there's a little less commotion."

"Wow!" Spike exclaimed, jumping onto her back. "That was amazing! Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and it did!"

"Oh, come on," Twilight Sparkle scoffed. "She said that something would fall, and a frog just happened to fall right around the same time. A coincidence, nothing else to it."

Just then, Pinkie Pie ran up with a frantic expression on her face and her tail was twitching like mad. "My tail! My tail!" she yelped. "Twitch-a-twitch! Twitch-a-twitch! Somethin' else is gonna fall!" And both she and the baby dragon looked up at the sky fearfully.

"Oh, Pinkie, please," said Twilight Sparkle, refusing to believe that a twitchy tail could predict something. "Nothing else is gonna fa-aaah!" And she disappeared from sight.

Spike blinked, finding himself on the ground and gasped when he saw the purple unicorn had fallen into a ditch, sprawled and dazed. "Oh no, Twilight fell! Is it… safe to go help her?" he wondered, glancing at the pink pony.

"It's okay, my tail stopped twitching," said Pinkie Pie cheerfully, tossing off her hat, and she bounced away once again. "La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la…"

Spike watched her go and he was impressed. "Ha ha! That was amazing!"

Twilight Sparkle poked her head out of the ditch, annoyed. "Oh, please."

Applejack and Sunrise Blossom walked up and they raised their eyebrows when they saw the purple unicorn in the ditch. "Uh, Twilight? Why are you hanging out in a ditch?"

"Because, Pinkie Pie predicted it!" the baby dragon exclaimed.

"Honestly, Spike, she did not," Twilight Sparkle said, exasperated. "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 and Sunrise Blossom both gasped with fear. "Twitchy tail? Pinkie Sense? Whoa! Nyu-uh!" And they both duck under a nearby cart, eying the sky fearfully.

"Don't worry, it's safe," Spike reassured them. "Prediction already came true."

Twilight Sparkle climbed out of the ditch and rolled her eyes at her twin and their friend. "Oh, wait. Don't tell me you both believe in this stuff, too?" she asked, surprised that her sister would take something like this seriously.

"I know it doesn't make much sense," Applejack admitted as she and Sunrise Blossom crawled out from under the cart, "but those of us who have been in Ponyville a while, have learned over time that, if Pinkie's a-twichin', you better listen."

"Yeah, the only time I didn't listen to Pinkie's pinky sense, I ended up getting beamed by an apple," Sunrise Blossom added.

Pinkie Pie ran up just then, and her ears were acting oddly. "My ears are flopping! My ears are flopping!" she shrieked.

Spike looked around, alarmed, while Applejack and Sunrise Blossom did the same. "Nyuh! What does that mean?!"

"I'll start a bath for you," Pinkie Pie told the purple unicorn gravely.

"Huh?" Twilight Sparkle chuckled. "A bath?" she repeated while Spike, Sunrise Blossom, and Applejack all backed away. "This thing keeps on getting more ridiculous by the minute!" And she ended up getting splashed by mud as a pony pulling a cart raced past, earning a grumble from her.

Two hours later, Twilight Sparkle was in Pinkie Pie's room at Sugarcube Corner, and she was taking a bubble bath to get the mud off. Still annoyed, she blew away some of the bubbles. "Phhhhft."

"Sooo, basically, it works like this," Pinkie Pie explained, setting a bottle of baby bath on a table. "I get different, little, niggly feelings and they mean different things. Like when my back is itchy, it means it's my lucky day. And, when my knee gets pinchy, that means something scary's about to happen."

"Is your knee pinchy now?" Twilight Sparkle asked, annoyed.

Pinkie Pie shook her head. "No, but my shoulder's achy," she replied. "That means there's an alligator in the tub." She then reached into the tub and pulled out a small green alligator, setting him on the floor.

Twilight Sparkle screamed and jumped into the air, landing on the edge of the tub. "How come your knee didn't get pinchy?!" she yelped. "That isn't just scary, it's downright dangerous!"

"No, it's not, silly!" said Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "This is my pet alligator, Gummy. He's got no teeth. See? Haha!" And she laughed as Gummy demonstrated by trying to bite her hoof, mane, and tail with no ill effects.

Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay… I get it."

After finishing washing up, Twilight Sparkle was now heading back to the library with Pinkie Pie bouncing along behind her. "Well, I still don't believe all this… "special power" stuff," she stated while mentally planning on having a serious talk with her twin about believing in the so-called "Pinkie Sense". "It's just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo."

"What's not to believe?" Pinkie Pie asked. "You do magic, what's the difference?"

"Huge! For one thing," Twilight Sparkle cleared off a crate, climbed on top and cleared her throat, "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!"

"That's so not true, Twilight!" Pinkie Pie retorted as her friend hopped down and resumed walking. "Sometimes it's a bunch of random things happening to my body at random times that supposedly predict the future. I call 'em "combos"."

"Combos?" Twilight Sparkle repeated.

Pinkie Pie nodded. "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!" she announced happily.

Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes as they reached the library. "Yeah, sure."

Pinkie Pie suddenly stopped. "Uh-oh, I feel a combo coming on. Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch!" she yelped.

At that exact moment, the door slammed into Twilight Sparkle as Spike walked out, carrying a stack of books. "Ugh!" she groaned as the door shut while making the beeping noises of a truck backing up. She then flopped to the ground. "Ughhh… You said that combo meant "beautiful rainbow"," she grumbled.

"Oh no-no-no-no-no," said Pinkie Pie quickly. "You're thinking of an ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. This was an ear flop, then eye flutter, then knee twitch. That usually means "look out for opening doors". You okay?" she asked.

"I don't believe this," Twilight Sparkle complained, sitting up.

Pinkie Pie giggled. "You don't believe because you don't understand."

Twilight Sparkle considered this and got an idea. "Hmm…"

A few hours later, Twilight Sparkle had Pinkie Pie down in the basement, where she was hooking her friend up to a machine to monitor her brain activity. "Okay," she said, clamping her friend's hooves to a console. "Now when you get another twitch, we'll have all kinds of scientific information."

"Okie-dokie-lokie!" said the pink pony cheerfully.

Several minutes passed and Twilight Sparkle watched the monitor eagerly with nothing happening. She looked at her friend questioningly. "Any twitches yet?"

Pinkie Pie shook her head. "Nopey-dopey!"

Twilight Sparkle paced, waiting for something to happen, but patience wasn't one of her strong suits. "Now? Anything?" she inquired.

Pinkie Pie cocked her head. "Wait! Hold on! Uhh, no."

"Are you kidding me?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, enraged. "After a whole day of nonstop twitching, now that I've got you all hooked up, you're not getting a single one?"

"I don't control it," Pinkie Pie admitted, "they just come and go."

Twilight Sparkle groaned in frustration. "That makes no sense!"

"Sometimes you just have to believe in things," the pink pony suggested, "even when you can't figure 'em out."

"I will not believe in anything I cannot explain," the purple unicorn declared.

"Wait, hold on," said Pinkie Pie, eyes wide. "I'm feeling something…"

Twilight Sparkle became excited. "Oh my gosh, what? What is it?!" she asked eagerly.

After several seconds, Pinkie Pie's stomach growled. "It's my tummy!" she exclaimed. "That usually means I'm hungry! Let's eat!"

Twilight Sparkle groaned, fed up. "Urgh… You know what?" she grumbled biting and yanking the electrical cords free. "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!" And she stormed toward the stairs.

Pinkie Pie looked at her forelegs, which she easily removed from the clamps, and she followed her friend up the stairs. "Okie-dokie-lokie." She followed her friend along the landing toward the doors when she suddenly stopped and gasped as parts of her body began reacting. "Uh-oh. Hu-bu-bu-bu-buh!"

Before Twilight Sparkle could ask what was wrong, she was smashed into the wall by the door being slammed open, and Spike stepped inside. "Pinkie? Have you seen Twilight?" he asked.

Pinkie Pie nodded and bounced out the door. "Uh-huh."

"Twilight?" the baby called out and turned when the door shut, revealing the purple unicorn pancaked on it. "What are ya doing back there?" he inquired.

Twilight Sparkle grunted and freed herself, falling to the floor. "Rrrrgh… Did you two plan this?" she demanded, looking up at him.

"Plan what?" Spike asked.

"Urgh! This is ridiculous," she grumbled, getting up. "This can't be happening. This makes no sense. I have to figure this out."

A/N: Pinkie Pie here, Dede42 is taking her accountant to the hospital after being hit twice, and she's sure that he'll make a full recovery. Uh oh! Tail is a twitching, gotta run! (She runs away and another large box of books fall out of the sky.)

Dr. Hooves: Derpy!

Derpy: Sorry! R&R everyone!
