Story[]

Pinkie Pie: Goooood MORNING, Pie Family! Good morning, Pie Family Rock Farm! Good morning, Mom and Dad and Limestone and Marble and Maud and Holder's Boulder!

Pinkie Pie: I hope you put on your party pants today, 'cause it's time for the first EVER Official Pie Family Reunion! Also known as "Pinkie came home to visit and brought EXTRA BALLOONS!!!"

Igneous Rock: Er... Quite.

Cloudy Quartz: Verily...

Pinkie Pie: Okay... Not as RELENTLESSLY into the whole "surprise family reunion" thing as maybe I thought you'd be, but I can work with that! There's no kinda party problem that EXTRA BALLOONS can't fix!!!

"It's always hard for me to get a read on Pinkie's parents... Maybe it's a cultural thing? Anyway -- those balloons should help!"


Pinkie Pie: ... There! And if you th ink THOSE decorations are a million times more party-tastic than normal, just WAIT till you try this batch of rock-themed family reunion cupcakes!

Pinkie Pie: THIS batch is metamorphic-flavored, THIS batch is sedimentary-flavored, and THIS batch... well, this batch is just cherry. I was in the mood for cherry! What'd you think? Huh? Huh???

Igneous Rock: Er... Verily.

Cloudy Quartz: Quite.

Pinkie Pie: O... kay. I'm... gonna take that as a "We're definitely having fun, Pinkie, and this surprise family reunion was a good idea...?" I guess I can eat some of these cupcakes if you're not gonna...

"Uh... Not to take away from how awkward this whole situation is, but... are any of those cupcakes gem-flavored?"


Pinkie Pie: ... And then the whole REST of the surprise family reunion went the same way! I dunno, guys... I know my parents are serious ponies, but this time, they were SUPER-DUPER SERIOUS!

Rarity: Hmm... That IS a puzzle, darling. Are you quite sure you weren't more exuberant than usual? Maybe they were simply overwhelmed by your... ah... force of personality!

Fluttershy: Or... are you sure they haven't developed a cupcake allergy since you last saw them? That happened to Angel once...

Pinkie Pie: No, no, those were the FIRST two things I thought of... Blaaaah, it's like the answer's on the tip of my brain! If I could just figure out a way to UNDERSTAND them better, I'd--

Pinkie Pie: ... Wait. THAT'S IT! What if I think of trying to understand my parents as an event challenge in my MIND?! I could even time myself to make it more fun! Pinkie, you're a GENIUS!

Fluttershy: Uh... What?


Pinkie Pie: ... GENIUS.

So, I can't see whatever Pinkie's imagining right now, but... is it weird? It's probably weird, right?
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 4 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helper is active).

Pinkie Pie: Oof. Guys, it gives me no joy to tell you this, but imagining shooting Insight Orbs at mental images of my mom and dad... didn't actually help that much. Also, I have a headache now!

Pinkie Pie: Maybeit isn't MY parents that I don't understand, it's ALL parents...? Or the whole CONCEPT of parenting! What;s it like? Why do ponies do it? Does it make them like parties less?

Applejack: Heh... Well, I wouldn't go THAT far, sugarcube. Parents come in all shapes and sizes -- and they handle parties in different ways! Take my own family, for instance...

Applejack: Why, when my folks had their wedding, they were happy as can be -- until THEIR parents plumb crashed it! And believe me, Grand Pear and Granny Smith were none too pleased with--

Pinkie Pie: Ooh -- storytime! Can I imagine myself at your parents' wedding trying super hard to understandwhat makes your grandparents tick? Can I?!

Applejack: Uh... Sure, I guess! Just... maybe take it easy with the Insight Orbs, okay? (whatever those are...)

Now I'm imagining PINKIE imagining Grand Pear and Granny Smith at their kids' wedding... I think I'm getting a headache, too.
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 11 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Applejack: ... Now, I don't LIKE how my grandparents reacted -- not one bit -- but that don't mean I don't UNDERSTAND it. They cared about my ma and pa fiercely...

Applejack: ... But that got all tangled up with their pride, and their family history, and they both ended up havin' more feelings than they knew what to do with!

Applejack: But d'you know what? If my ma and pa hadn't stuck with THEIR feelings, Big Mac, Apple Bloom and me wouldn't be around today!

Applejack: Not to mention, Grand Pear and Granny Smith wouldn't've mended their fences and started sellin' produce together!

Pinkie Pie: Whoaaaa... Being a parent sounds complicated! And full of multigenerational dramam sometimes? I dunno -- but I DO know that I want you to finish that story!

Pinkie Pie: (But after that, I'm DEFINITELY going to talk to Mrs. Cake. She has twins! That's... like... TWICE the normal amount of parenting perspective!)

That WAS a really good story! ... Aaaand Pinkie Pie just left. I think she went back to Sugarcube Corner...
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 18 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Pinkie Pie: Okay! So I was GONNA talk to Mrs. Cake about parenting, next, but it turns out she's... too busy parenting right now? (Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake have foaliatrician appointments...)

Pinkie Pie: But THEN I thought, instead of asking Mrs. Cake how she IS parenting her twins in the PRESENT, why not find somepony who can tell me how she WILL parent them in the FUTURE!

Lyra Heartstrings: Uh... Are you talking about me? Because I have... uh... NO idea why you'd think I have ANY special information about... heh... the FUTURE... or anything--

Pinkie Pie: Aaaah, come on, Lyra: There's been, like, two dozen different events about that already! I pay attention when you and Bon Bon talk in parentheses, you know.

Lyra Heartstrings: What?! I-- I mean... *sigh* ... Okay. While I'd like to be clear that I have NO idea what you're talking about, and can't tell you ANYTHING about Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake's futures...

Pinkie Pie: Awww...

Lyra Heartstrings: ... I CAN tell you a HYPOTHETICAL story about two TOTALLY MADE-UP twin ponies, whose parents taught them to be bakers as they got older. ... Hypothetically.

Pinkie Pie: YAY!

I'm not 100% following what this story is about... Who's hypothetical and who isn't, again?
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 33 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Lyra Heartstrings: ... Eventually, the made-up twins got so talented, they decided to open up their own patisserie in Canterlot! The local food critics were hard to impress, but the twins won them over.

Lyra Heartstrings: Their parents were sad to see their foals move so far away from home, but were proud of them just the same -- and gave them all the support they could.

Pinkie Pie: Hmm... I see! And, just to make extra specially sure, these "parents"... they're "made up" and "hypothetical" too. "Right?"

Lyra Heartstrings: Stop winking at me every other word, Pinkie.

Well, made up or not, that WAS a good story... Pinkie ran off again after it was over, though -- I think to talk to Scootaloo's family?
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 49 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Pinkie Pie: Okay okay okay! SO: That story TOTALLY inspired me, and I got REALLY impatient to learn a LOT more about how parenting works, all at once!

Pinkie Pie: So THEN, I thought "is there anypony I know who has MORE than two parents that I could talk to at the same time? Is that even a THING?" And THEN I thought about Scootaloo!

Pinkie Pie: Because SCOOTALOO has Mane Allgood and Snap Shutter, but ALSO Holiday and Lofty, who ALSO sort of count! That's twice the normal amount of parents -- and I just found three of 'em!

Aunt Holiday: Haha -- so you have! Hello, Pinkie.

Mane Allgood: Yes, hello! I'm sorry Snap Shutter is still in Shire Lanka -- but I'm glad we could all be here to talk with you.

Auntie Lofty: Uh... who exactly where YOU talking to just then, though?

Pinkie Pie DOESN'T MATTER! You said you had some cool and inspirational stories about helping Scootaloo be her best pony self?

Aunt Holiday: Of course! There was the time that Lofty and I helped organize Cutie Mark Crusader Appreciation Day, to celebrate everything she and her friends have done for this town...

Ooh -- I remember that day! I was right up on stage behind Rainbow Dash!
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 65 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Pinkie Pie: Ooh -- I remember that day, too! I was up on stage right next to Spike! That Key to the City was REALLY shiny...

Mane Allgood: It was! But that wasn't what convinced Snap Shutter and I to let Scootaloo stay in Ponyville... it was recognizing that what she's doing here is her true calling!

Mane Allgood: That doesn't mean we miss her any less when we're away... we do, SO much. But we can also love her and feel pride in her life's work, all at the same time. It's all connected!

Pinkie Pie: ... Huh. So, basically, you're asying... parenting is complicated. Which, y'know, I've heard THAT before, but I think I'm starting to get a better idea about HOW!

Pinkie Pie: I think I gotta head back to the rock farm and talk with my mom and dad... AFTER you finish your story about Cutie Mark Appreciation Day! (I'm not done imagining it yet.)

Pinkie's running back to the rock farm now... I wonder what she figured out?
  • Pinkie Pie is recommended to reach Level 81 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Pinkie Pie: Mom! Dad! I just had a huge realization about what being a parent's like after talking to a whole bunch of 'em and imagining elaborate challenge scenarios in my mind-palace--

Pinkie Pie: ... I mean... the details aren't that important. What IS important is... That "surprise family reunion" was the first time I came home in a WHILE, wasn't it...? I haven't been visiting much...

Pinkie Pie: And starting now... I'm gonna change that. I know my baking amazing cakes and saving Equestria every other month is important, but... that doesn't mean you don't miss me, right?

Cloudy Quartz: Verily-- Er, what I mean to say is... you speak true, my little rose quartz! I do apologize for our behavior during the reunion, and... I think you have found the heart of it.

Igneous Rock: Yes... Modest though we try to be, we could not be prouder of whom you have become... and we love you more each day. Spending time with you is always among our fondest wishes!

Pinkie Pie: Awww...! I love you guys too, and I'll TOTALLY visit more -- that's a Pinkie Promise!

Pinkie Pie: ... And THAT'S the story of my surprise family reunion, and how I learned an important friendship lesson about staying close with your parents as an adult pony!

Maud Pie: I know, Pinkie. I was there, remember? In the corner. Talking to Boulder.

Pinkie Pie: WHAAAAT?! How did I not even NOTICE you that whole time?! I did a whole emotional journey and everything!

Maud Pie: ... Boulder likes quiet conversations.

Pinkie Pie: HA! I guess the next time I come visit, I should try and learn an important friendship lesson about paying more attention to my super-amazing sister!
