The Ponyville Six visit Canterlot to watch Rainbow Dash participate in a long-distance race. However, a visit to Twilight's favourite donut shop results in the bookish Unicorn finding herself in a pitched donut-eating battle with a certain pink Party Pony, with disastrous results.

This short story was created as part of a writing audition for the Equestria Online MMO.
I hope you enjoy it as much as the game's staff apparently did! :D

Lyra Heartstrings, who is not exactly the most responsible adult out there, is driving a train. A train with no brakes, on fire, full of orphans, which is approaching a broken bridge at terminal velocity.

Hmm. Well, at least things can't get worse.

Fair warning: Dark humor ahoy, guys. Horrible things played for laughs.

An insane and illogical parody of your favorite ponies.

Are you looking for a story about the magic of friendship or how great it is to be alive? Too bad! What you're getting is a story about a bitter bookworm named Twilight Sparkle who just got booted out of Canterlot and is forced to go to a little backwater town named Ponyville in order to get some sort of social life.

Will she enjoy it? No. Not at all.

Rated Teen for strong language, cartoonish violence, immature humor, and god-awful jokes.
Sex tag is for repeated mentions of sex, sexual activities, and Rainbow Dash. Just...Rainbow Dash in general.

Now on TV Tropes!

You know what would be funny? Robbing a bank. Pinkie's pretty sure of that.

Not like the others have a say in the matter anyway.

Hello, friends! My name is Lemony Cutewhistle.

Until next year.

One uneventful day in Ponyville, TD comes across a single issue of a comic with the title MAN COMICS. Curious, he picks it up to read it.

Punching ensues. So. Much. Punching.
