" TWILIGHTTTTTT! " A pink mare came crashing through the windows, making a loud thud. Pinkie Pie sprung up quickly, tears running down her face like a river.
" . . . Yeah? I'm reading, what is it? " She arched a brow, turning slightly. Surprisingly not really interested. " Cant you see I'm busy?! " Twilight frowned violently.
" . . . Twilight? NO time for your mid-life crisis too! "
" .... Ugh. Leave me alone. " The purple mare turned, looking back down at her book that was full of meaningless words.
" IT'S ABOUT MAUD! " Pinkie teared up, and zoomed over. " . . . She-she-- "
" She's scared of rocks, I know. " Twilight muttered, rolling her eyes, catching a gasp from Pinkie. " ...What? Surprised I actually noticed a spell went over the town and swapped some of our traits? You really are braindead."
" You seem the same but more mean..and why wasn't I affected? "
" I don't know. " Twilight shrugged. " I don't have time for this, leave me alone. "
" What is that?! " A grey mare shouted, gaining an irritated huff from Twilight. She was pointing at a little pebble on the ground. Twilight stared.
" Oh forgive me! I DIDN'T EXPECT GUESTS, so I didn't C L E A N ! " Twilight wacked Maud on the head with a broom. Maud quickly frowned.
" What was that for?! " Maud screamed.
" FOR. BEING. A RUDE. INTERRUPTION! "
" I liked you better when you were more like flipping Barney! " Maud shouted. " Purple and all about friendship! "
" I NEVER LIKED YOU! " Twilight violently huffed. She stomped her hooves against the ground. " ..And friendship is not of any use to me! Nor are friends. All I need is.....b o o k s . "
" ... The..pebble is still there.. " Maud's ears flattened, taking a frightened few steps back. Pinkie Pie just looked around curiously, and shrugged slightly.
" .. Weellll Maud, maybe you should touch it.. ? "
" N e v e r . It's...staring at me.......................... v i o l e n t l y . "
Pinkie Pie enjoyed a little weirdness, but seeing her sister afraid of a heckin' rock that had no eyes was indeed interesting. None of this made sense either, um ?
" It's my duty... " Maud muttered. She stared, putting on an army helmet.
" To do what...??? "
" To DESTROY every ROCK in TOWN, what do you think ?! " Maud shouted, a sound of anger ringing in her tone. Wow, Maud having a tone other than dead doesn't please Pinkie's ears.
Maud stepped on a rock, and screamed, but knew it was her duty. The rock crushed into a million pieces.
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again--
" TWILIGHT, WHAT'S GOING ON? "
" The spell is branching off to ruin other things such as time, so history is repeating itself vividly, the rock will be smashed many times until time fixes itself and goes forward. It's trying to go forward, but it's also backward. "
Rewind

" The spell is branching off to ruin other things such as time, so history is repeating itself vividly, the rock will be smashed many times until time fixes itself and goes forward. It's trying to go forward, but it's also backward. "
" TWILIGHT, CAN YOU NOT FIX THIS?! " Pinkie shouted, her hoof stomping. Maud was just casually destroying boulders, screaming in fear of being near them at the same casual time.
" No. "
" You're just helpful today, aren't you? "
" Whateverrr. "
Though, Pinkie took notice quickly, Maud's best friend..her partner in crime..B o u l d e r.. he was crushed.
And harmed.
No rocks were harmed in the making of this story.
Little rock pieces. Maud quickly realized, and broke down in tears, fearful tears, but tears. Her best friend had died. He wasn't really dead, he just was many tiny versions of himself.
Still a major tragedy, Maud was still really scared of the rocks, but she loved this rock. This rock was now many tiny.. rocks...but as Maud kept crying, she kept destroying.
Crying more.
" Wow, this is just messed up. "
" .. G o o d . " Twilight grinned from afar, she seemed to like the messed up pain of this. The mare's grin from ear to ear, wow. Though everyone's attention shifted when somebody fluttered in, and looked down a bit.
" FLUTTERSHY, wait that's not Fluttershy-- ...what the heck? " Pinkie's eyes widened at a blue mare's head down low, and not confident in any shape for form.
" ..oh, hey guys. Haha, I was practicing my flying, it wasn't that great though. " Pinkie's expression went 'hmmmm'-like, humility? This is NOT Rainbow Dash's persona, but she certainly didn't question it much after today. Though before she could say anything against it, Maud was burying Boulder, but in a scared fashion.
" It touched my hooves! Help me! I'm going to DIE. "
" That's over dramatic even by MY standards, it's just a poor defenseless rock, Maud. " Pinkie Pie thought for a long minute, this wasn't like the whole opposite-element situation, some of her friends weren't meanies, they just were.. opposite? Just not opposite in the other way, UGGGHH her brain hurts. Maud was the least expressive you've ever seen her, I mean look at those wide eyes and actual emotions, that's not expressive one bit.
" Hello, everybody! " A confident voice came in, everyone blinked at Fluttershy. " . . . I have such confidence, be amazed by my social abilities. " Wooahhs seemed to happen in the room. Though she didn't want to focus on them, Pinkie wanted to focus on Maud--
" Apples are terrible. " Applejack and Maud were abusing apples and rocks equally for each other, they seem like best friends now. " .. Apples can BURN. "
PINKIE WAS SCREAMING IN HORROR.
Like that the book closed.
" And that kids is how Pinkie Pie learned of Petraphobia. "
