Twilight and Pinkie Pie walked down the street, the hole to the Mirror Pool having been covered yesterday. Pinkie bounded and hummed to herself as she and Twilight made their way to the café. Twilight watched with a smile as her friend acted 'normal' once more.

"Good to see you're back to your old self, Pinkie."

"It's feels good! I have my friends back and the mirror pool is gone!"

Twilight and Pinkie arrived at the café, and took a seat at an outside table. Their waiter, a young freckled mare named Coffee Bean, came around to their table and smiled. "Good morning, Twilight! And..." Coffee Bean turned to Pinkie Pie, a look of distrust settling. "...Pinkie Pie. What can I get you two?"

"Oh the usual. Coffee, black. What do you want, Pinkie?"

"A cup of hot cocoa, please!"

Coffee Bean nodded and trotted off, leaving Twilight and Pinkie alone. Pinkie hummed to herself as Twilight rubbed her eyes. "I need to stop pulling all night study sessions..."

"You should take it easy, Twilight. You're always busy studying or reading! Ooh! We should have a party at the library!" Twilight perked up and shook her head with a smile. "I don't need a party, Pinkie Pie. I just need my coffee." Coffee Bean returned with their drinks, and Twilight sipped hers slowly, smiling as Pinkie downed half of her hot cocoa in one hearty swig. "I don't know how you like that stuff, Twilight."

"You've never even had black coffee before, Pinkie."

"Of course not! How can you delibratly not add sugar to your coffee?"

"Don't knock it until you try it." Twilight held out her cup, and Pinkie shrugged and took it. She looked down into the black liquid, and saw her reflection staring bavk at her. She gasped when she saw her reflection pounding against an invisible wall, as if she were trapped behind a mirror. Pinkie lost her balance and fell back, throwing the cup into the air. Twilight lit her horn, and caught both Pinkie ahd the cup. Returning the cup to her own hands, she set Pinkie on the ground. "Are you okay, Pinkie?"

"I thought I saw... a Pinkie in my reflection. Like one of the other Pinkies."

"You're just worn out over what happened. Like I said. Those other Pinkies were just magic-made templates. When they went back to the pond they dispersed back into the magicka plain." Pinkie slowly nodded, and they heard thunder in the clouds. A slight trickle began to fall, and Pinkie stood. "We should get home soon, Twilight. It's supposed to storm pretty bad." Twilight nodded, and the two finished their drinks and parted ways. When Pinkie got home, she waved to Mr. Cake and went downstairs to her room. She sat on her bed and pulled the book of old nursery rhymes from her night stand, and turned to the legend of the mirror pool. "I saw her... another Pinkie, trapped inside the mirror pool... But, Twilight said they were gone..." Pinkie grabbed a mirror and stared into it, hoping for the other Pinkie to appear. When nothing happened, she sighed and set the mirror down. She lied down, hugging the book, and whispered softly,

"... Am I the real Pinkie Pie...?"

====================

Pinkie woke slowly, shivering as she felt the bone chilling air around her. Sitting up, she saw that she lied on the frozen Mirror Pool, and the cave was iced over. Lieing outside of the frozen pond were the Pinkie Pie clones, though when Pinkie approached one, she screamed and fell back. The Pinkies all had straight grey hair and coats, and black overlapping scratches where their eyes were supposed to be. Pinkie Pie shivered and looked for a way out, but the cave's entrance was collapsed and covered in a thick sheet of ice. The only source of light was from a few holes in the ceiling, through which Pinkie Pie saw a blizzard raging outside. Snow casually fell over her, and she began to cry.

Where was she?
Some scraps I quickly wrote up in my spare time about the events after the episode "To many Pinkie Pies". Again, feel free to use as you see fit :) Just let me know
