//------------------------------// // 47. // Story: 8-Bit Pony // by Dawn Flower //------------------------------// While everypony was still reeling and trying to figure out how a villain that they had defeated years ago, redeemed, and not given a second thought to since then had suddenly – and unceremoniously – returned, Twilight was the first to recover, and already had an idea for how to deal with this. “Wait, I know what to do,” the purple alicorn princess announced, with a confident smile on her face. She then trotted right up to Nightmare Moon and slapped her right in the face. “Snap out of it, Luna.” … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Nightmare Moon suddenly reacted, telekinetically grabbing Twilight and pulling her towards her, creating a comical ball of dust, like those seen in a comic book to denote a fight scene. Just off to the side, BM simply said, “Yeah, see there’s this thing called ‘Rule of Funny’. You should really learn it.”
