The Hub
FIN?!
Previous Chapter"And that's how I saved the world from zombie necromorphic wraiths. Any questions?" Pinkie waited patiently as her friends glanced around at each other.
Twilight was the first to speak up. "Well, I would like to know what happened during and after the meeting with this Faust character. We haven't heard any of the establishing dialogue from Faust to progress the story yet."
Gigglesnorting, Pinkie replied, "Duh! Of course I haven't silly, how else would I have a sequel?" How her friends could miss something so obvious was beyond her.
"Sequel? What do you—"

"Actually, maybe I shouldn't have a sequel. CUT!" The bewildered Twilight opened her mouth to comment, but was beat to it by Applejack.
"Uh, sugar cube? You okay there because it looks like you could use some rest."
"Oh you silly patooty... OF COURSE I'm fine! When have I ever not been fine? HehehehahahahahaHAHAHA!!" Pinkie said with a crazy look on her face, even for her. Twilight would be impressed. "But back to the story! Weeeeeeeeee—"

Back in the office of Lauren Fa—
"—eeeeeeeeeeee!"
...
As I was saying, back in the of—
"Oh, hello Miss Faust!" Pinkie said with uncontrollable glee.
Lauren gave a strange look at the pink mare. "What did you... Actually, never mind. I don't want to know."
"Okie dokie lokie!"
"So you were asking about the Hub, am I correct?"
"Yeppidoo!"
"Well Miss Pie, as you know My Little Pony is leaving the Hub—" A sharp gasp from Pinkie gave her a moment of hesitation, "—and is instead moving to Discovery Family."
Pinkie brightened both figuratively and physically and a certain bounce returned to her steps. "Yay! The show isn't ending! As soon as I get back, I'm going to throw a party for all of the ponies in Equestria! Oh my, that sure is a lot of ponies to become friends with, but it's worth it," A burst of confetti exploded out from Pinkie followed by a gasp of realization, "You should totally come back with me! Do you want to go to Ponyville, Faust? Huh? Do ya? Do ya?"
Without waiting for a response, Pinkie continued with her one sided conversation. "It'll be so fun! We'll have balloons and confetti and streamers and cake and games and music and balloons and ponies and fun and candy and food and—
Pause for dramatic effect —CHOCOLATE!."
That got Lauren's attention as she quickly turned back to Pinkie, a hungry look in her eyes. "Did somebody say... Chocolate?"
"Yepperooni! Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate... Now chocolate sounds weird. Do you ever say something too much and then it starts to sound weird? I did that once with 'kumquat'. Kumquat, kumquat, kumquat, kumquat. Oh no! I did it again! Curse you English phonetics and psychology!" Quickly righting herself from her spot on the ground, Pinkie addressed Lauren once more, "So I have to go plan a party now, make sure to get there before midnight!"
Pinkie then held her breath and scrunched up her face in concentration. Using her gypsy magic, a portal appeared in front of her, warping reality around it. Distant voices filled the room and whispers echoed from the portal. Pinkie stepped through the shifting black and green tear in the fabric of the universe as she waived back. Once back in Ponyville, she spared a glance back through the portal just in time to witness a familiar blue box appearing in Lauren's office. But without further ado she sacrificed an unborn foal to close the link between worlds. She wouldn't want untold horrors to escape from all corners of hell by leaving it open a second too long.

"And that's the story of how I exorcised a tormented soul from one of Discord's alarm clocks." Pinkie smiled as she finished the recounting of her tale of heroism.
"Pinkie, I thought this was the story of how you saved the world from zombie necro-whatevers," Rainbow Dash said with a roll of her eyes.
"Wait, Pinkie. Who is Lauren Faust? You haven't told us that," Twilight reminded Pinkie.
"Oh, Twilight, I have no idea who you're talking about. And now I have a party to plan!"
"But— How— What— Pinkie, wait!" Twilight shouted after her, but to no avail. Pinkie was already too far away. The rest of her friends just shrugged it off as Pinkie being Pinkie and began to walk away.
But Twilight didn't move again until 15 hours 32 minutes and 9 seconds later. She would know, she counted.

"STOP SAYING THAT, PINKIE!!"
"Heheh, oopsie."
