Pinkie and the Remote Control World

The Eye of the Storm, Part 1

By the Isapie

FIZZ...FIZZ...GRQUKLE...SORRY, PINKIE PIE, BUT YOUR REQUEST TO BREAK THE FOURTH WALL CANNOT BE PROCESSED RIGHT NOW. PLEASE TRY AGAIN AT ANOTHER TIME, OR IN ANOTHER PLACE WHERE THERE IS A BETTER SIGNAL. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

"NO! THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! STUPID CLOUD CPU FOURTH WALL SYSTEM!" screamed Pinkie as her attempt to break the fourth wall failed for the first time since she was just a filly, and the sun was going down. Dash watched as her always happy, never mad, maybe-sometimes-sad-because-her-friends-were-busy best friend bucked a patch of clouds in frustration, screaming bloody murder at the clouds. A little slip of falling paper caught her attention, though, and she yelled, "Dashie! Grab that paper!"

Dash tore through the cloud, diving at the almost-sonic-rainboom speed and caught the piece of paper. When she brought the paper back up to the summit, Pinkie looked less tense, and handed Rainbow a mirror. "Dashie, you look a little less filly-like now. See for yourself!" Rainbow Dash looked herself over in the mirror, and sent a silent thanks to Celestia and Luna for fixing her appearance.

In the meantime, Pinkie read aloud the letter:

"My dearest Pinkie(I know for sure it's you. Who else would purposely come to the top of Mount Everfree and buck a cloud to pieces?),

"I'm sorry that I left you alone like that, but you must understand. I woke up, and there was a dark energy force field around you. It only got stronger when the girls came in to wake you up. I touched it for a moment and now there is a red patch on my hood. The girls accidentally jumped right into it. I had to drag them to Zecora's place(at this time, Dash suddenly cried out, "Oh! So that's where we forgot to check!"). They're fine now. 'Cora gave them some potion-lotion stuff and they got rested up and came out of their shock. We concluded that the farther away we got from you, the less the force field would be there. I believe it is charged off our family love and I blame the cupcakes the girls found in the meadow yesterday.

"Well, my dearest, I should say that we are headed for the secret hiding place we discussed. If you don't remember, here's a hint:  Cheese Pickles. In any case, my dear, I trust that you will find a way to make things right.

"Love, your loving husband, Freedom

"Ps. I let the girls have the final word.

"Dear Mama, once we get to the hiding place, we'll take turns waiting in the fourth wall. If you find a place with good signal, then just come in and don't hesitate. We will drag you out the other side, no matter how much it hurts. Good luck, Mama!

"Love, Strawberry Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Lemon Pie"

"Pinkie we have to go! Now! There's a large dark cloud headed our way!"

"WHAT?!?!"
