It was an absolutely stunning day when Twilight Sparkle of house Sporktacles walked into Absolutely Totally Normal Town where Nothing Weird or Strange Ever Happens. There was a friendship problem to solve here, and together with her merry band of bards murder hobos cannon fodder distractions friends, by Celestia's nonexistent beard she was gonna solve it!
"Hey hey, ol' buddy ol' pal, tell us what the deal is with this funky town!" Pinkie m̲̹̹̭̫ͤ̍͋ͯͤ̿̐́ ͉̎ͩ̀̄͊̚̕à͈̓ͭ̈́͋͛́͘ͅ ̷̱̫̦͉͍̹́̌͂̐̎t̢̜ ̮̞̣̤͈̀̿͒e̟̮̖̬ ̸̲͍̪̽̐ͩ̍̂rͦͩ͗̉͐̀ ͙̘̻̮͖̔ͤͣͅi͉͉̳͚͆͂͐͛ͩ̓̅́ ̦̱̟ͩ̍̽̚̚à̛̜̩͙̖ ̇̍͌̍͐̇͏̱̯̝̭̪ͅͅl͈̠̣̟̩͚̰̉ͯ̄̽̚̚ ̛̤̞̤̫͚ͩĩ͈̯͉̯͕͊͢ ̏̍̅̌̿̚͘z͚͕͊̑̽̓̿̆ ͓̄͢e̠̦̜͎̱̖͒̇ͣ̿̆ ̸̘̖̾ͩͦ̽d̮̦̥̙̱̮̑̔͝ in front of an Absolutely Totally Normal Town where Nonthing Weird or Strange Ever Happens fellow. "Is it Starlight poking ponies with her poking stick to make them not-special again? Oh wait, that's a different universe! Whoopsies!"
The pony that resided within Absolutely Totally Normal Town where Nothing Weird or Strange Ever Happens slowly blinked, one eye at a time.
"News update!" Pinkie popped out of Twilight's mane. "They aren't talking!"
(This is a normal thing in Absolutely Totally Normal Town where Nothing Weird or Strange Ever Happens.)
Twilight stamped her hoof down. It made a little froggy print in the dirt. "Bring us to your leader!"
"Hm?" Starlight Glimmer, Goddess-Emperess and Patron Saint of Absolutely Totally Normal Town where Nothing Weird or Strange Ever Happens descended from above, letting her self-levitation aura flicker into nonexistence to set herself down on the ground. "Is something the matter, esteemed Princess of Friendship?"
"There is indeed something the matter!" Rarity shouted from the back of the group. "Everypony's naked! They need hats at once!"
Starlight Glimmer proceeded to abruptly find herself the proud (and certainly confused) owner of a brand-new hat. It was shaped like a duck, as many hats tend to be.
"Apples." Applejack Applejacked.
"Apples indeed." Twilight agreed. She turned to Starlight. "I assume you are the mayor of this town?"
"Hmmmm..." Starlight twirled her fancy fake mustache. "I suppose so."
Rarity gasped. "A pony of high status demands a hat of equal status!"
It was not a moment later when Starlight found herself the still-confused owner of a goose hat, perched precariously atop the duck hat.
"Well, from one leader to another," Twilight continued, waving off Rarity's attempts to stack a third hat on Starlight. "What the actual frickle frackle frazoodle is going on here that made our magic map thing scream at us?"
Starlight shrugged. An explosion far in the distance behind her sent a stallion cartwheeling through the air before landing with a second explosion.
Starlight put on sunglasses.
Starlight took off her sunglasses.
Starlight put the sunglasses on Twilight, but they were upside-down.
Twilight swat the sunglasses off of herself and slapped Starlight across the face. "WHERE'S THE FRIENDSHIP PROBLEM I'M GONNA MELT INTO A PUDDLE IF I DON'T SOLVE ONE SOON."
Celestia shied away from the edge of the cloud, tossing aside her Ultra-Magnifier-6000™, guaranteed to melt any pony within five seconds of contact with its concentrated light rays. Twilight knew the consequences to come if she didn't solve a friendship problem soon.
"Okay, okay..." Starlight sighed, rubbing her cheek. She stepped aside, gesturing to follow. "Sincerely doubt you will be turned into a puddle anytime soon, but--"
A random background pony behind Twilight got turned into a puddle. As a surprise treat.
Celestia cursed under her breath.
"Look ma, no bones!" the puddle pony grinned.
"--Alright." Starlight turned away. "I'll pretend I didn't see that. Follow me."
And so the six trailed Starlight for what seemed to be ages. They climbed mountains, crossed rivers, and scaled the ends of the earth day after day, night after ni--
"We're here." Starlight grumbled. She turned around and knocked on a door. She could still hear the puddle pony saying something about having gained a new insight on life.
Slowly, the door creaked open, allowing for the overwhelming darkness contained inside to spill out. A garbled noise of some sort billowed out, blasting them all back several steps.
"Apples!" Applejack apple'd. She threw down her hat and started stomping on it.
Rainbow Dash was nowhere to be found because she already flew into the darkness and may not ever return.
"Hey guys look who I found?" Rainbow's voice came from within. Fluttershy was promptly thrown out the door. "This is where she's been hiding all those years! You're it now, Flutters, start counting!"
Fluttershy muttered something about death and taxes before she turned around and started counting against a wall. Twilight and the rest automatically scattered because a sacred game of hide-and-seek was not something to be missed.
Starlight facehoofed. "Fine, I'll do it myself."
She stumbled into the house and booted Sunburst, AKA xXx420NoScop3G4mer69xXx out the window. That poor stallion needed to find himself some friends, but clearly these mares weren't gonna cut it.
And then Twilight Sparkle was never seen again the end and so the world went boom when the Storm King rolled in a while later.
