Pinkie Pie awoke to a multitude of twitches in a strange order that she had never felt before. Her fetlock pinched, pastern shook, left eye twitched, and third curl of hair vibrated.

"No, no, no. That can't be right, right?" The more she attempted to deny it, the more the twitching intensified. Her Pinkie Sense has never failed her, it has to be right. This is too much though; who knew what this could mean for her and her friends or even all of ponykind for Celestia's sake! She needed someone who is good at listening. Who better to tell than Rarity? "Right I need to tell Rarity."

Rarity shrieked in surprise when Pinkie poked a head out of one of her cabinets. Rarity looked down at the dress she was working on before she was so rudely interrupted. "Oh sweet Celestia!" A large tear ran down the length of the fabric. Her beautifully well designed and masterful fabric...

"Rarity, you have to listen. This is super duper important," Pinkie said in a serious tone slowly drawing closer to Rarity with each word.

But Rarity was having none of that. Instead she was in a near catatonic state staring at the ruined fabric. "Ruined. All ruined," Rarity murmured repeatedly. Pinkie waved a hoof in front of her face, snapping Rarity out of her trance. "Oh! What? Oh hello, Pinkie. I could have spent a moment listening to you, but I must must must get these dresses done by tomorrow and somepony has torn this one." With a scowl on her face, Rarity went back to sowing.

"Do you think this is a game? A walk in the park? Well there will be no walking in any parks under my watch because this. Is. IMPORTANT!" Pinkie thumped the table during the last few words, messing Rarity up further and casting her into an even worse mood.

Rarity fixed Pinkie Pie with an icy glare and speaking through clenched teeth, "What do you want, Pinkie?" She said the last word with such venom that if Pinkie was a normal pony, she would have died on the spot. Pinkie wasn't a normal pony though. Unlike most Earth Ponies, she had many magical reality-bending powers that no Unicorn has ever been able to rationalize. Many have even lost their minds trying. Even the God of Chaos tends to keep his distance.

Pinkie took a deep breath, "I was getting all tingly from my Pinkie Sense® and then I rushed over here as fast as possible, but then I needed to make sure you were 110% serious before telling you the super serious news. The Hub Network is getting canceled!" At this point she broke down crying from the unfairness of it all.

For a moment Rarity looked confused before she chuckled darkly and growled, "Unless you have something serious to tell me, get out. I have some *ahem* fashion to get to." Pinkie reluctantly sulked out of the boutique and sighed to herself.

Pinkie sat in the dewy grass with a slightly deflated mane. "Oh what now? If only I had a really smarty pants friend who can solve any problem that you throw at her..." Suddenly, Pinkie got a whole lot happier.

"Aaaah!" Twilight fell onto the ground from her chair before apprehending the intruder in her fortress of solitude. She knew it was Discord. It was always Discord. "DISCORD!"

"Top of the morning, Twilight. What's up?" Twilight looked up but instead of seeing a mismatch of animal parts, she saw Pinkie Pie situated precariously on a pile of books.

"Hey, Twilight! I hope I didn't interrupt anything," Pinkie said hopefully.

Breathing in deeply, Twilight replied, "No sorry. I just thought you were Discord."

"I'm not Discord? Well I suppose you can call me Disarray or Entropy. I have many names, but just don't call me anything mundane. I'd hate to be something as simple as a Twil— I mean Harmony." She thought she imagined it earlier, but now she knew for certain it was Discord. But as she looked around the room she cou—

"Discord? Where?! It's been like seven forevers since I last saw him!" Pinkie interrupted her musings as she began searching through everything.

"Where are you?"

"I'm right everywhere of course."

"OVER HERE!"

"Not you, Pinkie!"

"Then who are you talking to? Are you hiding a friend from me?"

"She's talking to me."

"Can you hear him?"

"Who's Him? That's a weird name. But if he's here then why haven't I felt my Pinkie Sense go off?"

"Hey! Don't make fun of my name. I happen to enjoy it, thank you very much."

"She wasn't making fun of your name."

"I can't find Him anywhere and you keep talking in riddles. Are you going crazy? I don't know of any crazy ponies and it could be fun! Well their is Screw Loose and Lost Marbles but I never see them around here."

"So she wasn't making fun of my name? I would have never guessed."

"Yes."

"Yes, she wasn't or yes, she was."

"Wait, so Spike wasn't lying?"

"Yes, she wasn't."

"Wait! No sh— he wasn't."

"Now I'm confused. Is Spike a he or a she?"

"Well that's a relief."

"Darn it."

"What's wrong?"

"So now you don't want me to be relieved huh? I see how it is."

"No just please shut up."

"Why? What did I say?"

"I'm hurt Twilight. And here I thought you cared about our friendship." *sniffle*

"No not you, Pinkie Pie, and for the love of Celestia, shut UP!"

"Oh... Ok..."

"No, Pinkie I didn't— Pinkie?" Pinkie was already gone without a trace of ever being there a second before.

"You know Twilight, I best be off too. I have tea to be seen and Fluttershy to be drunk. Or was it tea to be drunk and Fluttershy to be seen? No matter, tatta!" A static noise could be heard, but then all was quiet. Twilight almost forgot what quiet was like and she would just try to forget all the confusion that just occurred.

"Twilight, you called?" Twilight looked up at the regal figure of Celestia before banging her head repeatedly on the desk and muttering obscenities under her breath. "Oh. It would appear that I broke her."

Celestia glanced around nervously before drawing a deep breath and tilting a piece of paper slightly to the left. Instantly the self harm stopped and Twilight glanced around in confusion.

Somewhere, in an alternate dimension, Discord's body jiggled for a brief moment. "There has been a disturbance in the force."

—

Celestia hastily teleported back to her palace in Canterlot and breathed a sigh of relief when a loud scream echoed all the way from Ponyville.

—

Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Pinkie needed to find somepony to warn about the Hub canceling. Stopping in the town center, she saw a large elevated platform that everypony could view from the market place. Or she could tell everypony. Mwahaha—*cough* *sputter* —ha!

Author's Note

I realize that about half the chapter was unrelated from the actual plot, but I felt it necessary. For reasons.
