4 Cupcakes: Party of Two?

[sailorlaughter]

[Cammy isn't following Pinkie today. He's hovering in front of a grey pony who, except for her coloring and the silky-straightness of her black mane, looks eerily similar to his usual mistress. The little bot beeps and darts from side-to-side, but Pinkamena shoves roughly past him and gallops off down the hallway. Cammy follows after with an indignant squeal, catching sight of a bright pink tail disappearing around a corner ahead of the pair.]

[When Pinkamena and Cammy reach the door of Pinkie's bedroom, it is shut tight. The dark pony snorts once and turns about, bucking it open with surprising force. Peering over her shoulder, Cammy catches sight of Pinkie's brief flinch at the sound, before she plasters a bright smile over her face.] SURPRIIIIISE!

[This doesn't look like Pinkie's usual parties. It was clearly hastily thrown together, with just a few random balloons tied to the end of her bed and a tray of cookies that looks like it's left over from the holiday party. Pinkie shrinks back a little when her doppelganger doesn't react.] I'm sorry it's kinda small, but I got it together really really fast, because other ponies hardly EVER come to the Satellite and I was so excited and normally I just give everypony cupcakes but you don't seem very happy so I thought maybe I'd throw you a party instead, because I mean who doesn't -

[Cammy darts around from behind Pinkamena just in time to catch the doppelganger's lips moving, though he doesn't pick up any audio. Whatever she said, Pinkie visibly wilts.] That's not very nice...

[Pinkamena is still silent, but pointing and laughing isn't really the kind of thing that needs words.]

Are you alright? That's another one of those shadow double things, isn't it?

[Cambot pans past Midna - her own double is standing behind her, smirking.]

They're everywhere now.

[Pinkie doesn't respond until about twenty minutes later, when Cammy flicks on to show her lying in a dark enclosed space. She still looks upset, ears levered flat against her head.] There's MORE of them?

[solmidna]

There seems to be one of them for every one of us. It must be something those people down on the planet came up with to make things worse. Be careful.

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie...you be careful too. [She eyes the doppelganger over Midna's shoulder warily.]
