"Attention all mares and gentlecolts!" All talking stopped within the market as everypony looked expectantly at their speaker. "A super duper big scary thing happened!"

Many of the spectators just huffed in annoyance and returned to shopping. "Please! You have to listen! The Hub has canceled! Do you hear me? Canceled!" Looking around, Pinkie realized that nopony remained in her audience. She zipped over to a mare with a carrot cutie mark. "Please you have to help me!" Pinkie begged.

"Uh huh." Uninterested, the mare handed a bag of carrots to her latest customer.

"This is super serious and we don't have much time!"

"I'm sure we don't, Pinkie." Pinkie waited a few seconds longer to see if more was to be said. With the sound of a balloon deflating, she slowly walked away... Before dashing over to a mint green unicorn with a harp butt.

"LYRA! I need your help to save the universe!" Lyra didn't look up from the book she was reading. Just then Pinkie noticed that the title of the book read, 'Upgrade from hooves to hands today!' Lyra looked to her hooves questioningly before her eyes widened and she grabbed the hand of the human on the bench next to her. Somehow Pinkie missed the human sitting on the bench even though he is the only known member of his species in Equestria. Not that he was setting a good example for himself with his 'Jerk' shirt.

Nonetheless, Pinkie continued on her journey through the streets of Ponyville. To where, she had no clue, but that would not be for long. She would find an answer to this problem. She would save everypony! A cough from behind got her attention and she turned to see who could possible be interrupting her monologuing. To her surprise and glee, behind her was none other than Ponyville's mayor, Mayor Mare!

"Mayor Mare, you've got to help me!"

With a tone of concern, the mayor responded, "Uh, yes Pinkie Pie? What happens to be the problem?"

"Only the worst thing ever! The Hub is canceling!"

Like any reasonable pony should, the mare became quite scared. "Oh Celestia. Oh dear. What ever are we going to..." Mayor Mare trailed off as she realized that she had no idea what the hub was. "Um, excuse me, but what is 'The Hub'?"

Pinkie sighed in exasperation. How did nopony know about something so simple? "It's only the network that My Little Pony runs on! Without it, Celestia only knows what could happen." Then it hit Pinkie. "We could get... DISCONTINUED!" After the dramatic effect was no longer needed, she threw the 'Dun dun dun Machine®' back into her mane.

This was really bad. Like really really bad with a strawberry on top bad. This was even worse than the quesadilla themed party that was thrown for Twilight. Twilight slept with the lights on for two weeks after that. But this wasn't just some cheesy party that could be stashed deep within her party files. No her mus-stash was telling her that she had to talk to the serious cheese in town.

The Fausticorn.

Author's Note

Oh Celestia, I feel like I want to gag from using the Fausticorn in my story. It's just so overused. But I think I did an alright job on the second to last paragraph. It got a little hairy when I was talking about mustaches, but I think I got the message down.

Please don't kill me.
