Name of the Game
*At Pinkie Pie?s house...*
"What a day it?s been. All the fun we had has made me so tired. Better get some sleep," yawned Pinkie Pie before getting into bed. *Inside her dream...*
"Good morning Rainbow Dash," called Minty.
"Rainbow Dash? I?m not Rainbow Dash. I?m Pinkie Pie.
"No, you?re Rainbow Dash. Look at your cutie mark," protested Sunny Daze.
"Wha? Where?d that come from? That?s not my cutie mark at all," stated Pinkie Pie.
"You?ve always had it. I?ve always had mints. Rainbow Dash has always had a sun," added Sunny Daze.
"You?ve got it all wrong. This isn?t who we are and these are not our cutie marks. What?s going on here?" complained Pinkie Pie.
"Nonsense, Rainbow Dash dahling. You?re who you?re meant to be, our friend," assured Sunny Daze.
"Twinkle Twirl, can you understand what?s going on?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"I?m not Twinkle Twirl. That?s Twinkle Twirl," replied Coconut Cream.
"That?s Kimono. She?s the wisest in all of Ponyville, remember?" questioned Pinkie Pie.
"Don?t be silly, Sunny Daze. That pony there is Kimono," stated Minty.
"I need to sit down," said Pinkie Pie before doing so.
"Are you alright, Rainbow Dash?" asked Minty.
"No. This whole thing is all wrong. Everyone?s name and cutie marks are not where they should be," answered Pinkie Pie.
"She must be sick or something," remarked Sunny Daze.
"Sick? I?m not sick. I feel perfectly fine. You are all confused because you?re calling each other the wrong names and have the wrong cutie marks. Did something magical happen here?" continued Pinkie Pie.
"Not at all. We?ve always been this way. Something could?ve happened to you though," said Skywishes.
"Okay. It?s official. I must be dreaming but I have to figure out how to get out of it," thought Pinkie Pie.
"Anyone up for a game of hopscotch?" asked Minty.
"Finally, something normal," remarked Pinkie Pie before heading over.
"I?ve got the pieces," said Sunny Daze.
"I?ve got the board. Now let?s play," added Skywishes.
"Wait a minute. This isn?t hopscotch," protested Pinkie Pie.
"Oh Rainbow Dash. You?re so silly. It?s always been this way," giggled Twinkle Twirl. *Back at Pinkie Pie?s house...*
"Pinkie? You okay? We heard you screaming," asked Minty.
"Minty? Is that really you?" questioned Pinkie Pie.
"Who else would I be? asked Minty.
"I had a terrible dream. Everyone had different cutie marks and names and I was called Rainbow Dash. Then we played a game of hopscotch but it wasn?t the way it?s played," explained Pinkie Pie.
"Then it?s a good thing it was just a dream. I can?t imagine what it was like for you," said Sunny Daze.
"Phew. What a relief. I?m glad that I?m here with my real friends," said Pinkie Pie.
