Pinkie Pie looked around in the darkness, waiting for something...exciting to happen. “Hello! Anypony home? I got some cupcakes with me!” Pinkie shouted, holding a tray of vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. After quickly eating a vanilla cupcake, she heard a creaking noise just above her. Out of nowhere, a large cardboard fell from above and landed in front of Pinkie.
On top of the cardboard stood a gigantic monster made completely out of chocolate; he had orange iris on his black eyes, his chocolate form was slimy, and he was very chubby. He looked at the party pony with apparent glee in his eyes and smiled at her. “Ohhhh, hello there, pink pony! What is your name?” the monster asked.
“I’m Pinkie Pie, the best party pony in Equestria!!” she proudly introduced with confetti. “What is your name?”
“The name is Choco Late, but you can call me ‘Choclo’. It’s great to meet you, Pinkie Pie!” he happily greeted.
“It’s great to meet you too, Mr. Choclo!” Pinkie said.
“You look like someone who needs a good and satisfying party! Why don’t you come with me and start having a great time, hm?” Choclo invited. Pinkie smiled brightly as her face actually started to grow big like a balloon. Then she exploded with joy and excitement.
“YES!! I WOULD LOVE TO, NEW FRIEND!!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“Terrific! Come on, Pinkie Pie, follow me!” Choclo said, heading straight forward. Pinkie followed him in an unclear path to a certain party the monster mentioned. Forgetting entirely about the trial, Discord, and The Joker at the moment, she bounced up and down repeatedly during her journey with Choclo.
Four minutes later, she and Choclo arrived at an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the woods. “There we are, Pinkie Pie! This will be the best party you’ll ever have!” Choclo announced.
“YAYYY!! I’m really, really, REALLY, excited!!” Pinkie said.
Once they entered in, Pinkie expected to see ponies celebrating, dancing, eating, laughing, and having a great time. But once she laid her eyes on them, she was shocked: several ponies were crying in despair while drinking their own tears out of their cups, the fillies were throwing pieces of pie at each other with scorn and saying mean things at each other, the colts looked depressed and didn’t bother to talk to each other or eat anything. Lastly, a tall chocolate cake was in the center of the room, having the words, “Sorrow is the best medicine.”
Seeing all this made Pinkie very sad and confused. “What’s going on? Why is everypony so sad and miserable?” she asked.
“Why, haven’t you read the writing on my cake? Sorrow is the best medicine! Laughter is nothing more than just an escape from reality, a hindrance to one’s growth. Sorrow brings the realities of life and hardcore truths that you can never escape from.” Choclo smirked. “No matter many times you try to laugh it off, it will always be there. After all, laughter is a lie. Ponies laugh at what? Jokes? Comedy? They are all...pointless and meaningless, my dear friend.”
“That’s not true! Laughter brings you joy and happiness!” Pinkie argued. It relieves you of depression, and it also helps you cope with stressful situations! There is nothing wrong with laughing!”
Choclo then started to frown on Pinkie. “Those are the false realities of laughter. Stress and depression are the actual benefactors. The more you stick to them, the better your view of the whole world will be.”
Pinkie then got unnaturally serious with Choclo. “Choclo, this is wrong. These ponies need encouragement and joy in this party!” She ran to the depressed ponies and started to pass cupcakes to each of them with a bright smile on her face.
Enraged by her act, Choclo spewed liquid chocolate from his mouth right at her hooves, sealing Pinkie on the wooden floor. “Trying to corrupt my ponies with your pathetic lies and joyous personality crosses the line! We could’ve been best friends, Pie! Now you’ll just have to watch me do justice!” Choclo growled angrily.
He spewed more liquid chocolate at the saddened ponies which started to petrify them. Then he darkly spoke, “All of you ponies are worthless, insignificant, and unimportant! That’s why you have no friends, no family, and...no laughter. Laughter is your true downfall. Till the day you die, no one will ever love you.”
This almost made Pinkie Pie cry; she was greatly tempted to think back on the harsh words some of her family members said to her that nearly discouraged her from being the pony she is. But then she remembered the times when she made her first party for her family and, later on, parties for her friends. Knowing that her friends love her and appreciate her for always being the best party pony of Ponyville, bringing happiness and laughter to lighten their mood, she wept tears of joy.
Then she glared at Choclo who finished petrifying the ponies. “Everything you said is wrong, Choclo. Laughter is what opens the way for ponies to enjoy a better life and make better friends as long as you use it for good!” Pinkie declared, slowly glowing from her element.
“I may be annoying or irritating to some ponies, but I always think of my friends positively and continually sacrifice time and energy to make parties for ponies who need it to brighten their day!!...even if it involves breaking the 4th wall!!” she shouted, winking at me.
Pinkie, focus please.
“Oh, sorry!” she smiled sheepishly.
“Anyway, the point is...LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!!!” shrieked Pinkie, breaking out of her chocolate seal. Her brightness released the ponies from their petrifaction while it encircled Choclo.
“Wait!! No! Stop!! You’ll pay FOR THIIIIIISSSS!!!” Choclo screamed, his body completely vaporized by the pink, bright rays.
She saw the ponies now happy and celebrating with each other in Sugarcube Corner. With that, she burst through the door and rejoined with her friends. “BEST. PARTY. EVER!!!!”
Nightmare Moon growled in frustration. “Such insolence! Applejack, you’re next!”
“Well, if ya say so...” Applejack nervously said, entering through the door and shutting it.
“How did it go, darling?” Rarity curiously asked.
“Ehh, I’ll just say it was a blast.” Pinkie said, winking at me again.
Ughhhh, Pinkie!
“What? Don’t you like fourth wall breaks?” Pinkie asked.
“Who are you talking to?” Rainbow asked.
“Umm, no one!” Pinkie smiled.
