Author’s note:

So I said to myself: “Are you crazy, Pinkie? That’s not gonna work!” But I didn’t listen to those words and started to run and run and run and run in circles, so the entire building started to move with me because it was hanging from a reaaally long rope that was attached to a weird stick stuck on the ceiling of that other really tall building, and then I got a little dizzy because running in circles can be pretty tiring sometimes and my eyes went all funny and the entire world started to go crazy, but I didn’t stop running…

No.

And then I heard that somepony was calling my name so I stopped running because the rope was very curvy because of the running-around-in-circles thing, so I didn’t need to keep running and I looked at the sky and I saw this thing that I mistook for a giant saltier but it wasn’t and then it said my name again so I said “I’m here! What do you want?” and it said “Pinkie Pie, wake up you silly filly!” and then I woke up because all of it was a dream! Except it wasn’t, because…

No, shut up. Shut up.

…the giant saltier was still there, and then I realized that it had never been a saltier, it was just Mrs. Cake with a seagull head, and she said “Pinkie you’re dreaming because you ate a lot of cupcakes yesterday” and I said “No way! Cupcakes can’t be bad!” but then she said that I wouldn’t be dreaming such a weird nightmare if that wasn’t the case, and then Nightmare Moon appeared but it wasn’t Nightmare Moon, it was Princess Luna, and she said “Hello” in that smarty-pretty-oldie way of hers and I said “Hello, how are you?” and she said “You’re dreaming, yadda-yadda I’m the Royal guardian of the Night” and I said “Cool! Let’s have a dream party!

Shut the fuck up, Pinkie.

But she said that she was there just because she wanted to say “Hi” and then she said that she had already said “Hi” and that she hoped I would sleep well and I said “No problem, Princess!” and then she was gone and I was alone in my room but it wasn’t my room because it was all a dream, remember? And the Mrs. Cake-seagull was gone too, so I went to the kitchen but it wasn’t a kitchen, it was Sweet Apple Acres! Can you believe it? I thought it would be fun to have Sweet Apple Acres downstairs, because then I would see Applejack every morning, and that would be awesome, but then again I knew it wasn’t possible because I love the Cake’s kitchen because it has the most super-duper-awesome oven in Ponyville, and it’s not like I like that oven more than Applejack, but you can’t cook in Applejack right? So I went to Sweet Apple Acres and I found a giant cow eating a tree…

Oh my God I need to write every single word you say and it’s annoying as hell. SHUT UP.

And I said “hey, don’t eat that tree! You’ll get a tummy ache!” And the giant cow…

For the sake of my green pants, you’re not even rambling like you usually do in the show. Stop talking!

Are you writing Aragón back?

No!

Oh, okay. So, like I was saying

Oh God kill me now.

Author’s note:
…and then I said, “Treasured Moments? Are you crazy?

Yeah, especially when you have a crazy pink pony screaming at you. Please, Pinkie…

Because, you know, “Treasured Moments” is just a silly name? Why not Inkie or Blinkie or Whitey? I like Whitey, it’s a funny name, and it’s sounds white and pure and I’m sure the baby is going to be like that! And Whitey Pie sounds just fine! Because, because I’m Pinkie Pie and she would be Whitey Pie and it’s fun because both name are colors, and…!

OKAY, YOU WIN! YOU FUCKING WIN, JUST STOP TALKING!

Really?

YES!

Pinkie promise?

CROSS MY HEART HOPE TO FLY STICK A DICK INTO MY PRIDE YOU FUCKING WON ARAGÓN’S COMING BACK NOW SHUT UP!

Okay!

…

…

Really?

Eyup!

Huh. Well, so… I guess you completely destroyed what remained of my writer’s integrity.

Yay!

Oh my God, really, fuck you. It’s just… fuck you, Pinkie Pie. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but holly hell I hate you right now.

…

Aaaand you don’t give a simple fuck, of course. You don’t care if I…

Oh, I know you don’t hate me, silly! You like me a lot! Now get back to business and get Aragón back or I’ll start talking again.

Tch.

***

…

…
Woah.

…

…!

…
Kill Discord? Like… killing him?

Yes. Oh so fucking yes. And now that we’re on it, I really think that finishing that pretty queen that you kindly left unconscious would be pretty awesome too. So, may I do the honors here?

…

But… B-but you can’t, Pinkamena! You can’t do that! Discord can be a little mean, but…!

Mean. He tried to, let me think about it a moment, kill everypony. That’s a hell of a start. Add the mind games, the lectures, the torture -both psychological and physical- everything he has done. And you say he’s mean.

…
I…

Fluttershy, he’s not mean, he’s a monster. The biggest monster you’ll ever see. Forget about the canon, forget about your stupid kindness and think about it. He was created as a fucking monster, his entire purpose is to kill as all just because he can’t stand being free. He’s so afraid of himself that he actually prefers to destroy all life! If there’s somepony here that deserves being killed, it’s Discord!

…

…

…

…

…

…

…
Now, Pinkamena… I swore once that I would kill Discord if he hurt Dashie. But…

No “buts”, Applejack. We need to kill Discord, because Rarity will die if we do nothing. Okay?

I don’t… Twilight?

…

Twilight, please…

…S-SH-E… KN-E-W…

Agh!

Eeeep!

That voice!

…!

It can’t be!

…Discord.

S-SHE A-A-AGREED…

But…! Twilight! Don’t tell me he’s…!

He’s still frozen, Pinkamena. It’s just… He’s doing what Peewee did.

Y-OU AGR-R-EEE-E-ED TO KILL M-E-E-E… T-WI-L-GHT…

It’s telepathy. Discord… Discord knows telepathy.

Y-OU AG-G-GR-EEE-E-EE-D…
YOU-U-RE AS B-AD AS M-EE-E…

Author’s note:
…

…

So… are you writing him back?

I’m not doing anything if you’re here.

Why?

Because it’s distracting and you’re annoying and I’m pretty sure you’d interrupt me every few words.

Well, I guess I could help you write!

No. No, that’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid. You see, that’s what you did with Aragón. And you fucked him bad. I’m the motherfucking author. I’m Louis. You do not fuck with Louis, okay?

Hey, that’s not a nice thing to say…

Says the one who tortured me a few seconds ago. Give me a break and fuck off, Pinkie Pie. I don’t hate you, you’re my best friend and blahblahblah, now go with your friends and leave me alone so I can destroy this story resurrecting Aragón, okay?

Oh, yeah! My friends. I’ll go back with them!

…
You know, I really thought you were depressed when I killed Aragón. I really thought you were maturing or something. But… You’re acting like a child again. Like if nothing actually mattered. When would you grow up?

…
…I grew up a long time ago. That’s the reason why I act like this.

Eh? No, that was a rhetorical question, you’re not supposed to…

The world is never filled with smiles, you know? Even though smiles are great. Everypony needs someone to cheer her up once in a while. Even Pinkie.

Uh.

But, you know? I’m the one who cheers up the others, so nopony can do that for me. I need to be happy all by myself. It’s a little sad, but I’m alone. I can’t be depressed. Ever. Because my friends need the cheerful Pinkie Pie.

…

…

…Sorry to break your bubble, but that’s not how the real world works.

Hm.

Eh, your friends are waiting. They want to kill Discord and Pinkamena’s a villain, and there’s a lot of drama. So, hush. Shooo. Shoooooooo.

What?!

***

Discord… Discord knows telepathy. I-it’s one of the hardest magical feats in existence, and I thought only the Princesses and Peewee…

Oh, no… He… Can he…? Free himself or…?

He can do nothing but talk.

…And that’s bad news, if you ask me.

Yeah. Right here and right now, words are the worst thing this dude can use against us. Is there a way to shut him up?

…Y-OU WOULDN’T… DARE. YOU WOULDN’T DARE. YOU WOULDN’T…

H-he’s getting b-b-better at it…

Of course we can shut him up. We just need to kill him. So…

TWILIGHT SPARKLE. YOU ARE NOT AN ASSASSIN. YOU CAN’T KILL ME YOU CAN’T KILL ME YOU WON’T KILL ME I WILL LIVE YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS I WILL LIVE YOU WON’T KILL ME.

…!

No! Twilight, don’t let him…!

THIS IS THE VOICE OF MY MIND YOU CAN’T STOP IT YOU CAN’T UNHEAR IT I CAN TALK YOU CAN’T STOP ME.

Ugh… my head.

It hurts.

E-eeeep. *sniff*. Eeeeep…

Shy? No, Shy, there’s no need to cry. Calm down, calm down. There’s…

*Sniff*. Buuh-huh…

…!!!

Gggh…

YOU CAN’T KILL ME TWILIGHT SPARKLE YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN PHYSICALLY KILL ME BUT YOU CAN’T ONLY MAGIC OR PINKAMENA OR FLUTTERSHY CAN HURT ME PINKAMENA AND FLUTTERSHY CAN’T GO NEAR ME YOU CAN’T KILL ME YOU WON’T KILL ME I’LL MAKE YOU PA-A-AY.

You won’t…!

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND TWILIGHT YOU’RE AS BAD AS ME BUT EVEN THEN EVEN BEING AN ASSASSIN IN YOUR MIND EVEN BETRAYING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE YOU YOU WON’T KILL ME BECAUSE YOU’RE A COWARD.

Discord…!

YOU WON’T DARE BECAUSE THE GUILT WOULD PURSUE YOU FOREVER BECAUSE YOU’RE AFRAID BECAUSE YOU’LL GO MAD BECAUSE YOU’RE AFRAID AND BECAUSE YOU’RE A DIRTY COWARD, A TRAITOR, A BASTARD, BUT EVEN THEN YOU CAN DO NOTHING AGAINST ME.

…

T-twilight…

You shut the hell up, Discord!

Stop playing with Twilight! And Twi, don’t listen to him! He’s…

YOU CAN DO NOTHING YOUR FRIENDS CAN DO NOTHING THEY WERE AGAINST KILLING ME AND NOW THEY’RE WITH PINKAMENA? THEY ARE SUCH A COUPLE OF HYPOCRITES THEY ARE DIRTY BASTARDS YOU’RE A DIRTY BASTARD YOU CAN DO NOTHING YOU CAN STOP ME I’LL BE FREE.

I-I… I can’t…

Twilight, he’s PLAYING WITH YOU! Can’t you see that this is all he does! He’s nothing but evil! We need to kill him, or else…!

YOU DON’T YOU DARE TO INSULT ME PINKAMENA YOU MONSTER…

OF COURSE I’M A MONSTER, YOU CRAZY DRACONEQUUS! But I’m a monster who knows her priorities! Twilight, Applejack, Dash, Shy, you need to understand this! He’s not something we could let…!

YOU CAN’T KILL ME YOU CAN’T KILL ME YOU CAN’T…

Twilight, do it! Now!

I…!

YOU CAN’T YOU CAN’T YOU CAN’T…

You need to do it!

I can’t! I can’t do this, Pinkamena! I just…!

Twilight…

Sugarcube, you…

…

Twilight, we agreed you’ll kill him! Rarity won’t be free if you…!

I know! But I can’t! I just…!

Hey! Why are you crying, Twilight? There’s no need for you to cry!

…!

What the…?

P-pinkie?

YOU CAN’T YOU CAN’T YOU CAN’T…

What the FUCK?! You can move?!

P-Pinkie!

Come on, girls! There’s no need to frown! Aragón’s coming back! We can have our happy ending once again!

***

Author’s notes:

Huh. I guess she actually went with the girls. Such a relief…

Who are you talking to?

ARGH! What the…? Pinkie?! What are you doing here?!

I’m staying here because I want to be sure you obey and write Aragón back!

But…! But you’re back in the story! I just saw you there! I wrote you there!

Oh, I know! But I took some time to a little of the story and I discovered that you can be in two places at the same time if you use the asterisks, right? So I’m using that to be here and there at once!

…

…

…That’s not how the flashback works. I mean, you’re not in a flashback. There are no flashbacks. There’s the stupid story and then there’s this space which doesn’t exist because it’s the abstract representation of my will. That’s the reason why it’s called “AUTHOR’S NOTES”!

So? Timey-wimey! I can be in two places at the same time!

Okay, you know what? Forget it. You’re not playing by the rules at all, so I shouldn’t even bother. I’ll take this as a callback to the first chapter. An author and a crazy pony, writing a stupid story. That’s what you want, right?

Yeah!

Sigh. Then let’s roll with it.

***

…Aragón?

Yeah! He’ll be back soon, because I talked to the author and he promised to bring hm back!

B-but…

Wait, you can do that?

Then you weren’t frozen, Pinkie?

Eeenope! I was just talking with Louis!

…

Louis?

Now what…?

YOU CAN’T BE HERE HOW CAN YOU…

Okay, we don’t have time for this. Twilight, kill Discord and do it now!

I…!

Hey! Pinkie-who’s-not-me, don’t say those things! There’s no need to kill anypony!

…

Pinkie…

The sad thing is that you’re wrong, Pinkie. We need to kill Discord, because Rarity’s frozen. So there’s no other…

Discord, please, can you un-freeze Rarity?

NEVER.

…

See? We have to kill him!

Hmmm.

Pinkamena. Calm yourself. Breathe.

But…!

Breathe.

…Sigh.

Hey, I know that look.

What?

Hmmm…

That look on Pinkie’s face. The one who talks in pink. She’s thinking about something.

Sure?

HMMMMMMM.

Yeah. She’s definitely up to something.

Ssssaaaaaay… Pinkie?

Breathe… Breathe…

…

Oh, okay, you’re busy. Twilight?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU ST…

Y-yes?

You need to kill Discord because Rarity’s frozen?

…Yes.

And she’s frozen because of magic?

…Yes?

Oh, then I have the solution!

…?!

What?!

Wha-really?

Huh. You were right there, sugarcube.

See? She was up to something.

NO YOU DON’T…

A-are you serious?

Yes! Just look!
Ahem…

Discord. Stop.

WHA-?

You talk, we kill the earth pony. Shut up, all of you.

Ch-Chrysalis… I-it can’t be…

YOU! HOW CAN YOU…?!

I think I said that you had to shut up.

…

…

…

…

*sniff*

And now, if you don’t mind, it would be very kind for you to stop talking like that. It gives me a headache.

…You…

Me. Discord, how’s your leg?

It… hurts.

Heh. Obeying the bug? You’re as pathetic as always, right Dissy?

*ZZAAPP!*

AAAAAARGH!

Stop. We need her alive.

…

Alive? What do you mean, “alive”? She’s dangerous, we need to…

She hurt you with a knife. We need to talk about that, and we need to do it now.

…

…

Pinkamena. Answer me, or we’ll make you scream in pain.

…

Where did you get that knife?

…

Discord.

Heh.

*ZZAAPP!*

AAAAAARGH!

Answer me. Where did you get that knife?

G-gah… I-it… It appeared…

…

No, Discord. Pinkamena. Explain yourself.

It just… appeared. It’s not supposed to make… sense.

I don’t see the point in this, Chrysalis. We should…

Discord, right now you’re the only one of us who can fight, and you can wipe out these insolent ponies in less than a minute. But, being a creature of chaos, you should be immune to pain or dead. Yet she hurt you with a knife, and you’re convinced that she, Twilight Sparkle or the yellow pegasus can kill you.

…

…

Now, you don’t know why. But I’m pretty sure Pinkamena does. And being as you are a creature of chaos, I think I start to understand too, but I need her help. Got it?

…

You can’t…

I’ll help you. Just… J-just stop. T-the pain is too…

Pinkamena! No!

Heh.

…?

What is…?

Can’t you see it? Are Pinkamena and Twilight the only intelligent ones, you stupid ponies? Can’t you see it, Discord?

…

If… if you say…

If we rationalize your weaknesses, if we say what can kill you, then it will stop hurting you. Because if we say it, then the readers will know it, and such the entire story –as understood as a universe, or even better, as a rational being, with a proper mind- will understand it. If it can be understood, then it’s not chaotic enough…

And only chaos can kill me.

…

…

…*sniff*.

…

…Rationalize?

Pinkie…

Ooh. She got it too? No. No, it’s something different. She’s the one who made it possible, right?

…

”It’s not meant to make sense”. “It just appeared”. ”Pinkie Pie, you are so random”. The knife appeared because you’re, in essence, Pinkie Pie. And Pinkie Pie doesn’t make sense. You attacked Discord with Chaos.

What…?

Chaos and entropy… the opposite to chaos is order, but chaos doesn’t make sense in the first place…

Exactly.

No. No, that’s not right. Chaos can’t kill me! I am Chaos!

But are you really Chaos? Or are you just chaotic?

No, that’s not the right question, Pinkamena. What you should be asking is: what kind of Chaos is Discord?

Kind?

”Chaos” is not a simple thing. You can understand it as a whole, or you can see it as a complex mix of little things. You can see chaos as mere disorder, or as randomness. You can see it as something that just doesn’t make sense, or you can see it as something that makes absolute sense, that resonates in harmony with everything else –which, paradoxically, becomes even more chaotic, because it’s not supposed to make sense. Discord, you’re the most chaotic being in existence. Your opposite is order, because you’re disorder. Chaos goes against Harmony. But at the same time, chaos can only be destroyed by a bigger chaos. So the only thing that can kill you…

…is not harmony, but harmonious chaos.

…

…

…

…

…

That doesn’t make any sense…

And that’s exactly why it hurts Discord.

…Then, Pinkamena’s knife?

It made sense and it didn’t, at the same time. It wasn’t there on the first time, yet the randomness of Pinkie –and so, the randomness of Pinkamena- had been established long ago, so nobody thought it didn’t make sense. So at the same time it made and it didn’t made sense. Harmonized chaos.

…

…

AJ, ¿you…?

No, I didn’t get it.

Hm.

Harmonized chaos. It… it can’t be… You…?

So only harmonized chaos can hurt Discord?

That’s the reason why you can hurt him, Pinkamena. Or your knife. Or Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy is completely chaotic because she doesn’t play by the rules of this story, but she has some rules, so she’s also harmonic. Harmonized chaos. As for Twilight Sparkle… well, magic itself can be seen as harmonized chaos too. Rarity can hurt him too, following that rule.

And now that’s been explained…

And, Pinkamena, Pinkie Pie, what else do you think can be seen as harmonized chaos?

Something stupid. Like, for example, a maid dress, a French maid dress that comes out of nowhere and it’s not mentioned, but it’s still there. It doesn’t make sense, but it appeared because of some rules, so it can be seen as something totally random, or totally logical.

Or… or Gummy. Gummy is here, but he never talks, so nopony can be sure if he’s there or here or nowhere. It follows the rules, and it’s random. And…

Or, what do you think about this? A pony who talks in two colors. But she always talks the same way, so nopony actually remembers it.

What…? What are you…?

Twilight Sparkle? What are you talking about?

You…

Oh, it’s nothing, really. Just a quick thought here, you see? Do you remember that strange chapter in which the readers asked questions? It was quite… interesting, to say something.

You…

And you know? I think it’s been quite curious the fact that nopony has read through it a second time. It’s pointless, really, but it’s a little bit of information…

What are you…?!

You see, a reader asked, “How can be Twilight talking in purple if it was Rarity’s color last time?” And Twilight said a very interesting thing…

...I can talk in green too.

WHAT THE…?!

Gummy! Attack, now!

*NYOP*

AARGH!

What?!

Hold your horses, what’s happening here?!

Eat this, Discord!

*ZAP!*

GGGGH!

And don’t you forget my knife.

*Tchac!*

ARGH! GGGGH! GGGGGGGgggh…G-gggh… M-my…

*Bomf.*

…

…

…

…It’s?

It’s done?

Girls…?

I… I think so. I think we defeated him. Good job, Rarity.

Hmf. I’m not a bad actress after all, right?

You’ve been a better Twilight than Twilight herself, darling.

Heh.

But…! What the hell?!

Chrysalis never woke up. It was Twilight the entire time.

Huh?

Yes… Pinkie, you could see it?

Yes. I saw that the one talking was you, but I didn’t say anything. I… I-I’m very sorry for freeing Discord, I didn’t…

Don’t worry, pal. We know you didn’t mean any bad.

But I can’t understand… how did you do that?

Oh, I mostly improvised, my dear. Twilight talked with me off-screen while Pinkamena distracted Discord, and she said that I had to act as her.

I raised the shield with Rarity, but I never came in. And then I talked in green as soon as possible.

…

…

…

Rarity and I discovered a long time ago that when the readers know something, it fools the characters in the story. That’s the reason why Discord could’t see that I wasn’t Chrysalis. And I guess you were fooled too.

Eh…

But, Pinkamena, how could you…?

Oh, I didn’t know anything. I just bought Twilight some time. I knew she would came up with a plan. Nice one, that bit about rationalizing chaos so it couldn’t hurt Discord. It almost make sense. Almost.

You mean that wasn’t true?

No… it doesn’t work like that. I think it was just an excuse so Discord will be off-guard, right?

Mostly.

Yeah, Discord was not the sharpest tool in the shed, although he didn’t know it.

But then… Rarity, how did you know when were you supposed to reveal that you weren’t Twilight?

Oh, I just looked for the most theatrical moment, my dear. A true lady always knows when to reveal her secrets. And Pinkamena showed me the moment, too, when she talked about Twilight’s maid dress. It was clear as day.

Aragón told us about it. He said that fashion will be our guide. But there are some things that still don’t make sense, like…

gggh…

…!

No…

H-he’s still?

you can’t kill me… You can’t kill me… YOU CAN’T KILL ME!

…

Oh, no…

No…

B-but…!

So it’s not over, huh?

Pinkie. We need chaos. Bring us chaos.
