Applejack trotted through Ponyville town square, a certain uneasiness seeping into her mind. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a pink splotch. Must be seeing things, she thought to herself. It wasn't until a familiar voice called out to her, that she realized she wasn't mistaken. "Oh hi Applejack!" it called out. Applejack whipped to the direction of the voice. "Wha- Pinkie? Is that you? Weren't you crushed by a falling anvil?"

"Yeah, but I guess the author decided to put me back in. Funny how things happen isn't it"

"Uh, yeah, funny." Applejack trailed off as she witnessed Pinkie pull out a small pin and prick just above her hoof just before injecting a yellowish liquid into her from a bulky pen-like apparatus. 

"Pinkie, what are you doing?" she inquired nervously.

"I'm taking my insulin, just like I do everyday," responded Pinkie, surprised that Applejack didn't know that about her. "You didn't know that I'm diabetic?"

"Uh, no. You never told us," said Applejack, still in disbelief.

"Really Applejack? Twenty some years of continuous and habitual ingestion of complete and utter garbage, and you honestly didn't expect any adverse health effects? You're truly surprised that eating nothing but pastries and candies has led to diabetes?"

"Uh... Well now that you put it that way..."

"Even the audience could guess that at this point!"

"Pinkie? Didn't Twilight say something about breakin' the fourth wall?"

"Fuck the fourth wall! I died like an hour ago! Who cares about the damn fourth wall!?"

"Jee, Pinkie, calm down."

"Calm down? I just died! I have diabetes, and apparently nopony cares enough to know about it! Shit!" She paused, frustration slowly subsiding. "Sorry about that AJ, forgot to take my bipolar medicine this morning."

Applejack twisted her face in confusion once more. "You're bipolar?"

"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

Princess Celestia perked up. She heard the scream. "Oh no," she whispered. This was how it started. It was that familiar combination of seven F's, twelve U's, and all caps. "It's starting."

The internet was starting to manifest itself in Equestria. Pinkie's outburst was a warning signal. If action wasn't taken soon, ponies would be unable to spell words correctly, and cats would appear from nowhere in the hundreds! Celestia shuddered at the thought.

She gazed outside her tower window, observing the horizon. Her ears twitched as a repetitive, but catchy song become just audible to equine ears. It was so familiar. Where had she heard it before? Her thoughts were interrupted by a rainbow streak across the sky.

"Hmm, a little early for Rainbow Dash to be out," she thought aloud. "It's not even eleven yet." Her eyes widened as she realized that it was not, in fact, Rainbow Dash. Upon closer inspection, the shape was... pixelated? It was then she realized that the song seemed to be somehow resinating from the rainbow spouting creature.

The shape was mostly a pink block with grey at its front, and a rainbow flying from its backside. She gasped out loud, and almost fell back as she remembered exactly where the song was from.

Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan...

With that, the shape was gone, the catchy tune along with it. Her face filled with dread. The first internet invasion had taken over quickly, but not this quickly. This is going to be one hell of a fight.
