Summary

I, Cookie

At Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie is all by herself with the rest of the Mane Six away for the day and Gummy leaving to go on vacation. In her solitude, Pinkie uses a drawing of her friends, cookies, a magic potion, and Twilight's duplication machine to make cookie versions of her friends to play with. However, the potion's magical properties causes the cookies to come to life. Pinkie is excited to have others to spend time with, but the living cookies question the nature of their existence and would rather explore the world they have been born into.

When Pinkie tries to pressure the living cookies to stay and play games with her, they briefly turn on her and tie her to the floor. Realizing it would not be right of her to keep the cookies inside, Pinkie relents and allows them to go out and see the world. At that moment, the rest of the Mane Six return, freeing Pinkie of her loneliness. When Twilight Sparkle suggests they make cookies together, Pinkie Pie nervously hesitates.

Keynote Pie

In order to attract new investors for Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie decides to hold a conference to introduce Sugarcube Corner to the world of technology with the promise of revolutionizing baking. Unfortunately, just before she is to give the keynote speech in front of an audience of potential investors, Pinkie becomes stricken with severe stage fright. Her friends offer to help her overcome her stage fright via montage.

After the montage, Pinkie is no longer afraid to face the audience, and she thanks her friends for their help. She gives her keynote speech successfully, but it is revealed that there is no one in the audience except for Fluttershy and Spike. Impressed by Pinkie's speech, the two offer to invest in Sugarcube Corner and be her business partners.
