Everything You Know is Wrong

  "Wake up.", whispered Pinkie Pie to Twilight, who was still sleeping. "Hey... hey, wake up!"

  Twilight just moved to the side, and kept sleeping.

  "WAKE UP! This is Pinkie Pie, and I'm your wake up call! WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!"

  "Dang it, Pinkie!", complained Twilight. "I'm not sleeping! I'm just resting my mind."

  "Twilight, I think you'll want to see this.", said Spike.

  "*sigh* What now?"

  Twilight opened her eyes, to find out that the world around her was completely nonsensical. The group was sitting around a table on the café, and everything looked like it belonged on a Pink Floyd album... or something.

  "What the buck is going on?", asked Twilight, in sincere disbelief. "Is this a dream?"

  "Looks pretty real to me.", said Trixie.

  "May I take your order, please?", asked the waiter.

  "Oh?", said Twilight. "No thanks, we're on our way out."

  "Okay, what do you want then?"

  "Wha? I said no, thanks."

  "I know! But you don't expect me to just bring you a random drink, do you?"

  "But I don't want anything!"

  "Wait... you're a newcomer, aren't you?"

  "I guess... I've never been here before."

  "Well... here in Hatemannan, 'yes' means 'no'. And vice-versa."

  "Really? Well, in that case... I'd like to order a drink."

  "So you don't want anything? Get off the table, then!"

  Heading outside, the world around them looked even more nonsensical. They could see stuff they didn't even know the name of. The ponies around them acted extremely strange as well. Twilight suspected that someone might've put some kind of drug in their drinks. They have never seen such a wacky place before. It was beyond their deepest thoughts.

  "This place is so awesome!", said Pinkie Pie.

  "Feels kinda weird though...", complained Derpy. "I don't feel really comfortable..."

  "Maybe if we go to the Monotoli building...", suggested Spike. "... the guards will be crazy enough to let us in."

  "Yeah, I guess it'll work...", said Twilight. "Wait... Spike, you're a genius!"

  "Of course I am."

  "Come with me, everyone! We're going to the building again!"

  Surprisingly, the group had a really hard time trying to figure out how to get to the Monotoli building. Whenever they found a way to get there, the city found a way to redesign itself, creating the most confusing maze they have ever passed through. Derpy Hooves was growing tired of those motherbucking mazes.

  "I think I'm gonna be sick.", commented Spike.

  "Maybe it's the effect of that zacky-wacky statue we saw at the café.", explained Pinkie Pie. "Do you see how it affects all ponies around it? It turned Monotoli into an evil meanie. I don't know why we're not meanies, though..."

  "Pinkie, that actually made all the sense in the world!", said Twilight. "Spike! Trixie! Do you see the relation between all those evil ponies and the Luna Moona statue? First of all, Doctor Whooves. He's usually a really generous pony, and always shares his findings with the others. However, when he told me about the Luna statue, he said that he would not share it with anypony. He said that it was all his."

  "Makes sense...", said Spike.

  "After that, it was Carpainter's turn! The statue forced him to create the dumbest religion and kidnap Fluttershy (by the way, she sure gets kidnapped a lot...)."

  "Makes even more sense!", said Trixie.

  "And now, Caramel almost died because of Monotoli, who is influenced by the statue! It's the statue that makes all this happen! Maybe it's Discord's plan to spread evil around Equestria! Pinkie, you're the smartest pony I have ever met!"

  "I thought I was a genius...", said Spike.

  "You're a dragon, Spike."

  Derpy raised her hoof anxously.

  "What is it, Derpy?"

  "What about us?", asked Derpy. "We've been so close to the statue I could even smell it, and I don't feel evil at all."

  "Spike, do you remember that Parasprite we saw back at Canterlot?"

  "Yeah, I do...", said Spike.

  "He told us that Equestria would be saved by nine ponies and a baby dragon! And I'm starting to realize how much teamwork we have used to get through all those scary situations! If it weren't for you, Derpy, I'd be dead back at the hardware store!"

  "Where are you going with all this?", asked Spike.

  "Can't you see, Spike? We are the chosen ones! That's why we're not acting all evil! The statue has other plans for us! Maybe Discord wants us in our perfect mental state, or something. I don't know. But this should be the only reason why we're feeling so... normal! Oh my God, everything makes so much sense now!"

  "In other words...", said Trixie. "... we gotta find that statue and smash it to oblivion?"

  "Exactly!"

  "Hey, isn't that the Monotoli building, over there? With the statue at the door?", asked Derpy.

  "... seriously? Is it that easy?"

  "No. Of course not.", said Twilight, as she found a pony guard blocking the way.

  "What are you looking for, miss?", asked the guard.

  "We're looking for that statue right behind you."

  "Oh, I'm afraid I can't let you pass."

  "Why the buck not?", asked Twilight. She didn't feel like swearing at the moment.

  "'Cause you're not with a pony whose eyebrows are connected and who also has a gold tooth."

  "... okay then... we'll be right back."

  "I thought you were going to rage all over again.", said Spike.

  "Nah... I'm feeling good right now. No reason to get angry. Even though I don't know where we're going to find a pony whose eyebrows are connected and who also has a gold tooth."

  "Let's ask that dude over there!"

  Nearby, there was a pony who looked like he knew about everything. It was actually Jackie, the balconist back at the café.

  "Excuse me, sir.", said Trixie to Jackie. "Do you know about any ponies around here that have connected eyebrows and a gold tooth?"

  "I don't know about that kind...", said Jackie. "Come here, let me show you something really cool."

  "Um... okay."

  Jackie suddenly turned into a ghost, not really different than the one that trapped them in a dungeon, back in Spooktown.

  Twilight woke up in a strange room. She looked around a bit, and found out that she was still inside the nonsensical world of Hatemannan. The others were awake as well. However, she did feel a strange presence in the air.

  "Are you guys alright?", asked Twilight.

  "Yeah, we're fine...", said Derpy.

  "I'm fine too.", said a strange voice.

  "What? Who's there?", asked Twilight.

  "Can you see me?"

  "Um... no, I can't."

  "Haha! You can, huh? You've become a real Hatemannian! Don't worry, I'll teleport you out of here."

  The invisible pony teleported the whole group outside of the room, back at Nonsense Land.

  "There's something interesting about you, so I'm going to follow you, if you don't mind."

  "Not at all. I've never had a stalker before...", said Twilight.

  "I'm not stalking. I'm just following you guys. Where ya goin'?"

  "We're going to the Monotoli building."

  "Okay then. Hey, check out my eyebrows: they're connected!"

  "... really? Cool!"

  "Don't ya wish you had a gold tooth like mine? Look! It shines on the sunlight!"

  "Sunlight... ? Anyway, you're exactly who I was looking for! Follow us, won't you?"

  "Hey, I thought I told you to not pass.", said the guard.

  "Do you know this guy?", asked Twilight.

  "Who you talking ab-- huzzah! Hey there, Steve, how ya doin'?"

  "I'm fine, Frank!", said the invisible pony. "Wanna grab some drinks at Jackie's?"

  "Sure!"

  Steve and Frank turned into gas and flew away, while the group of worldsavers watched everything with confusion. If they stayed at that place for too long, they would end up losing their minds. Pinkie was enjoying it, though, and laughed at how little sense everything made. Twilight turned around, only to see another classy-looking pony, just like the ones at Manehattan.

  "Don't do anything to me! I am... I am not Monotoli! It's all her fault!", said Monotoli, pointing to the Luna statue behind him. He then ran away, crying in a comical way.

  "There it is, guys!", said Twilight. "The Luna Moona statue!"

  "Let's smash it!", said Spike, punching the statue, regretting it afterwards.

  "It looks like it's a really tough material.", said Trixie. "I don't think punching it would destroy it."

  "Hey, Twilight!", said Pinkie Pie. "Why don't you use your magic to blow it up, or something?"

  "I'll try it. You guys back off.", said Twilight.

  Twilight concentrated really hard to use her super-awesome spell on the statue. However... the statue was evil enough to know what was going on.

  "AAAUGH!", screamed Twilight.

  "What is it, what is it?!", said Pinkie Pie.

  "That face... oh GOD, that face! Damn statue!"

  "You're scared of a harmless face? How about I sing you a song to keep you cheered up?"

  "I guess it'll work."

  Twilight tried again, with Pinkie Pie singing her Twinkle Twinkle Polka to keep her cheered up. Didn't work.

  "What now?", asked Pinkie.

  "Your song sounds demonic at some point."

  "Try knocking it over.", suggested Derpy, knocking the statue over to the floor. The statue let out a cracking noise.

  "The statue cracked!", said Spike. "Let's throw it at something as hard as a rock!"

  Spike took the statue and threw it to the ground. Guess what? It actually worked! The statue broke into a thousand pieces, disappearing into thin air.

  "It worked!", said Twilight. "Maybe my magic weakened it a little."

  "Yeah, maybe.", said Trixie.

  Suddenly, a really heavy gas appeared out of nowhere, and out of it came an EXTREMELY scary version of the Luna statue. It looked pretty alive, though.

  "You shouldn't have done that...", said the scary statue. Next Chapter: World-Class Loser Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 41 Minutes
