4	Twilight once more decides to examine Pinkie ForScience. This time, she tries to figure out just what's wrong with Pinkie's brain. Unfortunately, something goes wrong. Now Pinkie Pie's alter egos have been set free from her mind and are running amok throughout Ponyville. Worse yet, the original Pinkie Pie has been rendered -- {{GASP}} -- normal! Now her friends have to track down the pieces of Pinkie Pie's mind and put them back where they belong before things get too out of control.

7	----
8	!!Tropes In this {{Webcomic}}:
9
10	* AxCrazy: Punky Pie, who loves pranks, but her preferred prank is launching missiles full of itching powder all over the city not caring if anyone gets hurt or not.
11	* AmazonianBeauty: While Rarity is still Rarity, she looks decidedly more buff in [[http://whysoseriouss.deviantart.com/art/A-Piece-Of-Pie-p7-258624904 on this page]] when dealing with Golden Pie.
12	* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Punky Pie should ''never'' have tried to hurt Fluttershy in front of Rainbow Dash.]]
13	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Out of Pinkie's split personalities, Pinkamena is just a foal.
14	* BrokenBird: Poor little Pinkamena. She's just a sad filly with no friends.
15	* {{Callback}}: "Pinkamena" is the depressed, straight-haired Pinkie Pie when she was a filly shown in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E23TheCutieMarkChronicles "The Cutie Mark Chronicles"]], while The Amazing Pinkie Pie is dressed in the tuxedo and top hat Pinkie wore at the beginning of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne "Party Of One"]].
16	* CardCarryingVillain: Being a [[Franchise/JamesBond Blofeld]] parody, Golden Pie is portrayed as this.
17	* CoveredInGunge: [[spoiler:Rarity is completely covered in custard after dealing with Golden Pie, with only her eyes visible.]]
18	* DancePartyEnding: [[spoiler:The fic ends with all of Pinkie's personalities, minus an annoyed Golden Pie and Punky Pie, and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Discord]] having a big party inside Pinkie's head.]]
19	* DelinquentHair: Punky Pie has her mane in a mohawk.
20	* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Golden Pie didn't expect Rarity to choose her friend over saving her boutique from being bombed with custard. [[BondVillainStupidity Something she should have saw coming if she knew Rarity.]]]]
21	* DudeNotFunny: Rainbow Dash didn't find Punky's prank of firing a rocket at ponies funny (even if it was just filled with itching and sneezing powder), telling her so after knocking her out.
22	* {{Flanderization}}: In-universe, Amazing Pinkie Pie is basically Pinkie with her wackiness {{exaggerated\|Trope}}.
23	* GreatGazoo: The Amazing Pinkie Pie is this, having RealityWarper abilities far above Pinkie's and using them to fool around with AJ and Big Macintosh in hilariously over the top ways.
24	* GoneHorriblyWrong: Twilight's experiment to figure out what's messed up with Pinkie's mind sets off the plot.
25	* LetsSplitUpGang: Twilight tells the others to find the other four Pinkie Pies while she stays with the original. Each of them encounters a different Pinkie they have to bring back.
26	* LiteralSplitPersonality: The plot of the story has four emerge from Pinkie Pie; Golden Pie, the Amazing Pinkie Pie, Pinkamena, and Punky Pie. [[spoiler:TheStinger reveals she has quite a few more.]]
27	* MythologyGag: Two of Pinkie's [[spoiler:internal spit-personalities are [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends Surprise]] and Generation 3 Pinkie Pie.]]
28	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Twilight is rightly worried that Pinkie is making perfect sense with her other four personalities gone.
29	* QuipToBlack: Rainbow Dash drops one after knocking out Punkie Pie.
30	-->Rainbow: "That wasn't funny."
31	* RealityWarper: The Amazing Pinkie Pie, much to Applejack's annoyance.
32	* RightHandCat: Golden Pie uses Opal like this.
33	* SadisticChoice: Golden Pie gives Rarity one; steal Twilight's balloon for her so she can escape or she'll set off a custard bomb in her shop and ruin all her dresses. [[spoiler:Rarity just yanks her off her seat, setting off the bombs, because she cares about Pinkie Pie more.]]
34	* SealedBadassInACan: Pinkie's personalities run the gambit of these.
35	* SealedEvilInACan: Golden Pie and Punky Pie. The Amazing Pinkie is more of a {{troll}}.
36	* SealedGoodInACan: Pinkamena is the only "good" split personality who escaped.
37	* ShoutOut: Punky Pie's cutie mark is the "A" symbol for anarchy
38	** The Amazing Pinkie Pie's looks like the Happy Bunny from ''David and Goliath'' shops
39	** Golden Pie's is an eye similar to those associated with the Stonemasons or Illuminati
40	*** In general, she's a parody of the ''James Bond'' villain, [[Characters/JamesBondBlofeld Ernst Stavro Blofeld]]. But she also wears an eyepatch like [[Film/{{Thunderball}} Emilio Largo]] with her name being a reference to [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Auric Goldfinger]] and/or a pun on Film/GoldenEye.
41	** Of the several ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-styled shenanigans the Amazing Pinkie Pie does, a couple of them include a barbershop gag like in "WesternAnimation/RabbitOfSeville", or [[WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck drawing the panel herself]].
42	* SickeninglySweet: Applejack coughs because The Amazing Pinkie Pie's [[ForcefulKiss breath]] tastes "too sweet".
43	* SpellMyNameWithAThe: '''The''' Amazing Pinkie Pie!
44	* SpikesOfVillainy: Sadistic Punky Pie wears a collar, belt, and hoof bands covered in spikes.
45	* SweetTooth: [[spoiler:Applejack exploits this to capture the Amazing Pinkie Pie with a ''lot'' of pie.]]
46	** Also counts as [[ThroughHisStomach Through Her Stomach]]
47	* TakeThatKiss: The Amazing Pinkie Pie plants one on Applejack shortly after encountering her.
48	* UseYourHead: [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash knocks out Punky Pie like this.]]
