Pinkie Pie has an existential crisis while painting her room. This self-parody is dedicated to Professor Piggy, who once told me that I could write a story about Pinkie watching paint dry and weave it into an incredible psychological journey. Let's see if he was right.

The sequel to A Two Pony Trick kicks off as a twisted form of the world Dusk once loved and feared greets him as he awakens from a coma. Dawn is gone and now takes shape as Discord, but something seems different. The old Discord and the new Discord's actions don't seem to match up adding which only to the confusion. Moreover, Dusk now must make a deadly choice between those he loves, and the fate of Equestria. The history of Ponyville is elaborated and Discord's lonely past explained as well as the question that has remained with the series from episode one... "Why is everypony in this town crazy?"

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
