When Cents Made Sense.

Somewhere in Equestria...
PsychoMane, a tall caramel brown pegasus stallion with a red and purple spiked mane and tail, stared at the magical device in front of him.

"How does this work exactly?" PsychoMane asked the pink pony next to him.

"Its called a computer, its what they use to do.... well lots of things!" Pinkie pie answered him with her normal excited tone and uplifting smile.

"Who are 'they' again?"

"Their the creatures from the other universe duh."

"Uh-huh. And what does this computer thing do" PsychoMane inquired.

"Its used for tons of thing, such as writing, playing, socializing, complaining, gaming, watching videos, illegally downloading music, reading, connecting...."

"Okay. Okay. I get it, its used for alot of things" PsychoMane cut her off.

"A lot."

"What?"

"You said alot, its actually spelled out 'a lot'."

"Wait. Spelled out? What? How can you even see what I'm saying? Ahhh! I don't care, just tell me what else this thing does."

"Okie dokie lokie cranky pants. Well you see this is the keyboard, its what you use to type words into the flashing monitor thingy."

"I kinda figured that much."

"However you should never mock it, or call it rude names. If you do it devours your soul." Pinkie pie said surprisingly serious.

"It is unlady-like to take one's soul from another." Rarity stated and trotted out the front door of the room with her head held high. So high that she bumped her horn on the doorway.

"Wait what! How would it do that!?" PsychoMane questioned.

"By using flesh eating termites obviously. Their mystical creature that exist within the other world" Pinkie answered.

"Pinkie.."

"Yeah Psycho?"

"I don't care what termites are. I have no idea how i got in this room with you. I have no idea where this device came from. I mean for Celestia's sake I don't even know what this 'other world' is" PsychoMane said with the most confused look.

"Oh that's easy. Its the place where the other things live with their families, cars, businesses, buses, monkeys, aircraft, oranges, lawsuits, wars, hands, peace, velvet cake...."

"Pinkie i hate to keep cutting you off, but i seriously think it would be easier to comprehend Scootaloo being able to sing rather then try to follow anything your saying".

"Okie dokie. How bout i show you the show?" Pinkie said, using a horrible transition.

"Show me the show?"

"Yeh huh. The one everyone in Equestria is apart of!"

"Huh?" PsychoMane was now befuddled beyond existence." What do you mean 'everyone in Equestria'?"

"Were all apart of a show! Silly."

"Wait, even me?"

"Oh no no no. Your made up."

"Made up? How am i made up. I'M SITTING HERE TALKING TO YOU!" PsychoMane was frustrated at the idea of being called fake in this sense.

"O-oh I'm sorry, i didn't mean to upset you..." Fluttershy apologized and then flew out of the room from the corner she was growing in.

"You only exist within a story, duh." Pinkie said back to PsychoMane.

"WHAT STORY? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? WHEN THE HAY DID FLUTTERSHY GET HERE!?"

The computer monitor flickered. An image appeared showing a strange puppet wearing a suit riding on what seemed to be a tricycle. It moved its mouth and spoke.
"I want to play a game." It said in a strange static voice.

PsychoMane, still filled with rage, turned and smashed the monitor with his front hooves.

"SCREW YOUR GAMES!" He screamed.

"Psycho are you alright?" Pinkie asked with a concerned expression.

PsychoMane looked at the computer and realized he had lost his cool and acted very rudely in front of Pinkie pie.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break your device." He apologized.

"Oh that's okay, I have computer monitors stashed all over Ponyville." Her normal smile returned and she reached inside of PsychoMane's couch and pulled a perfectly undamaged new monitor. "In case of computer monitor emergency."

"Uh. But. How." PsychoMane stuttered. "We aren't even in my house. Where did you get my couch!?"

"You talk too much...." was her reply.

(~^-^)~|~(^-^~)

"What!? I talk too much? Pinkie you talk more then.."

*THUD*

Just then the wall behind the computer fell backwards shattering into pieces like glass. A shadowy figure walked through the newly made entrance into the house.

"Awww what a lovely place." The figure spoke with a sly grim sounding voice.

"WHAT THE? YOU CAN'T JUST BREAK DOWN WALLS AND CUT ME OFF MID SENTENCE!" PsychoMane yelled as he turned to face Pinkie. "Pinkie who is....". Pinkie began laughing maniacally at PsychoMane. Not her usually fun filled laugh, but an almost nerve wreaking one.

"Pinkie what are you doing?"

"She's laughing, smart one." The shadowy figure spoke sarcastically to PsychoMane.

"I KNOW THAT YOU IDIOT!" PsychoMane was getting fed up with the constant insults.

"Whoa. No need to hurt my feelings. I might just tell on you."

"Tell who!"

"Sweetie Belle" The shadowy figure was grinning at the sight of PsychoMane's anger.

"WHY WOULD SWEETIE BELLE EVEN CARE....."

"You need to calm down cranky pants" The figure cut him off mid sentence...again.

"I already called him cranky pants. Maybe hot head would work better." Pinkie stopped laughing and spoke up.

"AHHHHHHH!" PsychoMane was plain fed up with the cruddy remarks. He let his anger break out once more and lunged forward, turned around and delivered his two back hooves straight into the dark figure's chest.

"Owwwww!" It yelped in agony.

PsychoMane stepped back and turned around to admire his just punishment.

"What!" He stared at the figure, but instead of groaning in pain, it was LAUGHING.

"I-i just kicked you! You should be hurting!"

Out of nowhere and/or somewhere Applejack trotted inside of the room, that really hasn't been described at all, and stood in front of PsychoMane.

"A.J. What are you doing here?" PsychoMane asked the strong pony.

Applejack didn't speak a word. She simply turned and raised her back hooves.

"What are you-"

She jabbed her hooves back and hit PsychoMane square in the face. He flew across the room into a wall that was colored a most delightful shade of orange.

"The color doesn't really matter as long as it taste delicious." The shadowy figure mumbled while wearing a grey ski mask.

"Especially if it taste like chocolate." Pinkie pie was now licking her lips. "Sweet. Delicious. chocolateeee"

Applejack nodded her head and trotted back out of the room.

"Well she wasn't very talkative today. Guess its for the better, her accent can be quite difficult to type at times." The shadowy figure spoke while rubbing a bald donkey's head.

ITS NOT THAT HARD!

"Sorry author, but you don't get too much of a say in this."

I'M THE ONE WRITING THIS STORY YOU UNGRATEFUL...

"Your also the one that just let me cut you off. Ha ha and HA." The figure stated victoriously.

"What do you mean type! What is going on?! I'm losing blood rapidly!" PsychoMane shouted while literally stuck between a wall and an apple cart that had been pulled into the room by parasprites.

"Okay you know what. This has been fun and all but seriously i am late to a serious business meeting in Los Pegasus, so i have to go. Seriously." The couch got up and packed the computer into a suitcase he pulled out of his newly materialized mouth and jumped through the window in the room that shall probably never be named.

"Aww. I was hoping he would try some of my delicious banana tarts before leaving." The shadowy figure spoke, now wearing a chefs hat and a 'Derpy is best pony' t-shirt.

"Ooh I'll try one." Pinkie offered excitingly.

"Sorry Pinkie just sold out. Come back tomorrow."

"Aww. Okie dokie lokie." Pinkie frowned and threw away her party cannon she was prepping to celebrate her treat with.

"PsychoMane. Are you going to comment on anything before we go play mini-golf?" The shadowy figure turned to PsychoMane before heading out the door with Pinkie who was wearing a sombrero and playing the harmonica while juggling balloons that weighted three pounds each.

"No, I'm going to smash my head against the floor repeatedly until I black out and somepony that makes sense comes and wakes me up." PsychoMane was flying upside down positioning his head to line up perfectly with the hardest part of the floor he could find.

"Well okay, we'll be back when the zebras make tea."

"Okay." PsychoMane said back, giving up on logic anymore.

~(^-^~)|(~^-^)~

Twilight finally arrived home after a hard day of studying a new breed of butterflies she saw in the Everfree forest. She hummed happily as she opened her front door.

"What in Celestia's name happened here!" She screamed as she looked at her library.

The door had been broken about half way down the hinges. One of the walls were collapsed. The window was smashed along with the wall around it that appeared to be shaped as a couch. An applecart had been flipped over in one corner with dents in the wall. Countless numbers of clothing spread across the floor. A bald donkey shaking violently on the bottom of the stair case. A giant cannon laying in her trash can. And finally a pony with a bruised and busted head lying unconscious in the center of the room.

"All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!"
