Chapter 6: Interrogation

Pinkie quickly ran back to Sugar Cube Corner, fear keeping her from slipping and ending up with a face full of dirt. When she got inside the bakery she immediately headed upstairs, not bothering to say hi to Mr or Mrs Cake, which made them worried. As soon as Pinkie was upstairs they gave each other a confused look before going back to what they were doing, meanwhile Pinkie was upstairs sitting in front of her mirror frantically looking into hoping to see Discord on the other side. A few minutes passed and he didn't appear, causing Pinkie to begin hyperventilating as she tried to make it to her bed.

"If he's not in the mirror then maybe he'll be in my dreams" Pinkie said as she threw herself onto the bed with a plop, shutting her eyes and immediately dreaming. Once she was "awake" in the dream world the looked around, finding it to be an even bleaker landscape that before. There were no mountains, or grass, or anything but the sun in the sky and the dark rock that made up the ground she was standing on. Along with that was one very important thing missing, and that was Discord himself. Normally he would be in her dream waiting for her somewhere, but she couldn't see him anywhere, and it wasn't like there was somewhere he could hide either. When Pinkie had looked all over she sighed sadly, her head dropping down so she was looking at her hooves. Soon after she began to cry, and the sun began to disappear, the dream becoming as dark as Pinkie was feeling.

"What's wrong my sweet pie?" Discord asked, the dream immediately becoming bright again, blinding him in the process. As he stumbled around Pinkie jumped on him, pushing him to the hard ground with a loud smack. He groaned in pain, but was drowned out by Pinkie's frantic cries as she hugged him tight, never wanting to let go again. Discord knew she was saying something, but couldn't figure out what it was before the dream because to fade away. When Pinkie noticed the dream was fading she woke up, looking around quickly to find out who it was that woke her up.

"Good, she's awake"

---------------------------------------------------------------

Pinkie was trapped in her room, being carefully watched by her five friends as she squirmed on her bed, their careful stare making her more than uncomfortable. Twilight was pacing back and forth in front of her, imitating what she had read in a mystery novel thinking that it would help make Pinkie crack. It wouldn't work on anypony but Pinkie, but her constant squirming was somehow helping her stay together. Eventually Rainbow Dash cracked under the boredom and came flat out with why they were keeping Pinkie trapped in her bedroom.

"Pinkie, why are you pregnant?" Rainbow asked forcefully, "Please just tell us so we can go home!"

"Rainbow!" Twilight whined, her serious detective act now completely useless.

"I'm tired of waiting here, I have better things to do anyways" Rainbow complained, making Rarity laugh, "What's so funny?"

"You having something better to do, I bet you just want to go take a nap somewhere" Rarity said, obviously mocking Rainbow Dash, "You could just leave you know, it's not like you're doing anything here anyways" Rainbow was just about ready to pounce on Rarity when Twilight jumped in between the two of them, holding them apart with her magic. Applejack and Fluttershy quickly moved to hold Rainbow and Rarity back so Twilight could continue her "interrogation" of Pinkie, but not before Rainbow managed to spit in Rarity's direction.

"So uncouth" Rarity said as she looked away, opting to look outside Pinkie's window rather than continue to fight Rainbow. On the other side of the room Rainbow was mumbling angrily to herself, annoying Applejack to no end. Once things were settled Twilight continued her pacing, making Pinkie start to feel the pressure, She knew the only reason Rainbow and Rarity fought with each other is because they were there, waiting for her to spill the beans. The thought of losing two friends because she stayed quiet eventually made Pinkie crack, but what she said made no sense to anypony.

"ONENIGHTDISCORDGOTLOOSEANDCAMEHERETOSEEMEANDWEHADSEXANDNOWI'MPREGNANTWITHHISFOALBUTIDIDN'TWANTTOTELLANYPONYBECAUSEITHOUGHTYOUWOULDALLHATEMEFORIT!" Pinkie shouted quickly, catching everypony but Twilight off guard. She managed to listen to, and figure out, what Pinkie had said, her jaw dropping immediately. Eventually the mess of words began to make sense to the others, and their mouths were soon hanging open as well.

"YOU WHAT?!" the five of them asked all together, making Pinkie cringe slightly. She knew things wouldn't go over well with them once they found out, so she slowly closed her eyes, preparing to face the music, but suddenly felt somepony hug her, soon to be joined by four others.

"Pinkie, we could never hate you" Applejack said, making Pinkie smile, "Even if you did sleep with our greatest enemy, it was your choice"

"It was your choice right dear?" Rarity asked, a horrible thought having popped into her head as Applejack spoke. Pinkie nodded slowly, getting warm smiles from all of her friends. Of course they were freaked out at first, but they couldn't do anything about it now, and they knew that, but now there was only one question left to ask.

"Pinkie, do you and Discord love each other?" Twilight asked, a worried look on her face, giving Pinkie a very different feeling than the other four were. Pinkie thought about it for a second, remembering what Discord had said in one of her dreams a while ago, a happy smile finding it's way across her face.

"Yes, yes we do" Pinkie said with a smile, changing Twilight's frown to a warm and comforting smile as they all pulled Pinkie into another hug. Of course Pinkie knew that Twilight had to tell the princesses about it, but Pinkie made sure to tell her that Discord is back in his stone statue, and is only able to visit her through her dreams and mirrors. Once Pinkie had told them all about some of the more interesting moments she and Discord had together they all said goodbye, their happy smiles as they trotted away making Pinkie feel happier than she had ever before.
