	When they had arrived in Cantorlot, Bubble Berry had reminded everyone of the plan, but he explained it such in a convoluted and confusing manner. Basically, in order to not raise confusion, Berry, Duskshine, Rainbow, Elusive, Derpy, Applejack, and Fluttershy would sneak into the castle to confront Celestia while the crowd lays low and draws as little attention as possible until the exact moment when they were needed. 
The plan had worked to perfection. The friends had made their way into the throne room of the princess without alerting the guards. 
They had burst the doors open and Berry yelled, "CELESTIA! For your actions against Ponyville, you will-" But the princess was no where to be seen. The only thing that was worthy of note was a mare that had collapsed in a corner. "...What?" Berry asked as he rubbed his head with his hoof. He sighed as he walked in slowly and said, "Well, I guess we wait." He walked on through the throne room, straight to the throne. He turned around with a curious expression and walked back to the center of the room, where a circle had been drawn on the floor. "Is this..." Berry pondered. Then, he gasped. "IT IS! Guys! This is an Alchemy circle! Almost exactly like the one at town hall! Of course, I guess it's not really that important... Oh well."
"Not important?!?" Duskshine shouted. "I may be able to use this circle to change us back into mares!"
Berry shook is head. "No. It's WAY too risky. It pretty much drove Celestia insane, remember?"
"Good point..." Duskshine agreed as he sighed.
"But..." Derpy spoke up. "I thought Celestia became mean months ago... that's why her guards hurt me..."
Duskshine and Berry looked at her, dumbfounded. They smiled and shouted in unison, "Derpy! YOU'RE A GENIUS!"  
They ran to the circle and Berry said, "Rarity? What are you doing?!? Come on!" The three of them positioned themselves around the circle. "Um..." Berry asked. "Twilight, do you know what your doing? Remember what Celestia said about equivalent exchange..."
Duskshine replied. "Not really, but I saw what Celestia did, and I'm a quick learner... plus, we have no other option. We have to take this risk."
Berry sighed as Duskshine lowered his horn to touch the end of the circle. It shot it's beam of light to the sky. When it faded, the transmutation was successful. Pinkie, Twilight, and Rarity had their bodies back.
There was applause coming from the door. "Bravo." The friends turned to see Celestia standing in the doorway. "Bravo. And you, Pinkamena and Fluttershy, I'm impressed that you survived. How did you even manage that? Oh, I guess it doesn't matter now. I will destroy you myself. Unless... my offer is still open."
"Every time you offer," Pinkie growled, "I will say no. You are a tyrant, one that I refuse to serve."
Celestia laughed. "Then, you are foolish and crazy."
Pinkie smiled and twitched, "Oh, I'm crazy alright! Some might even call me a psycho! HeheheHAHAHA!" she snorted after laughing.
Rainbow Dash placed a hoof on her shoulder, "Pinkie... remember what happened last time you went crazy...? You... you almost turned me into a dessert..."
Pinkie looked back to her friend with seriousness in her face, then looked down. "Don't worry Dashie... I promised myself I would NEVER go back to that place in my mind..."
She looked back at princess, renewed her insanity act and charged at her.



"You push me 'til I break, and my anger turns to rage! Why couldn't you just leave us alone?!? You got your horn ready to use a magic spell, and you think that you’re the winner... But let me tell ya something. You’re gonna get kicked off of your throne!" Pinkie headbutted Celestia's ribs. She continued taunting. "You think you’re gonna hurt me? Well then, get ready to get dirty, because you created this beast inside of me! You might as well pull the noose tighter and lift it a just little higher, because you’re killing me slowly..." She smiled. "But I'm not ready to die."
They moved around the room, trading and dodging attacks. Pinkie spoke again. "C'mon! Get ready for a fight! Now you know it’s time to ride my circus for a psycho!" They spun around the room, dodging and attacking. "We go around and around," Pinkie commented. She climbed on top of the throne, then a balcony overlooking the throne.  "Look out below!" She said. She jumped and screamed, "'Cause I want off this!" She landed with severe force on Celestia's back. Pinkie looked down at Celestia and smiled, "It's my circus for a psycho!"
Her friends cheered. "Pinkie! Go! Go! Go!" 
"A circus... for a psycho?" Celestia asked.
Again, her friends cheered. "Here we go, Pinkie! You got this!"
Celestia threw Pinkie against the wall. "You got lucky. But never again."
Pinkie smiled. "You're right. Never again. You're trying to kill me slowly... But I'm not ready to die!"
With that, Pinkie pulled out her party cannon and blasted Celestia, sending her flying out the window. Normally, Celestia would just fly, but since Pinkie dealt that injury to her back, her wings were severely injured. She fell for what seemed to be a long time, then hit the ground outside the castle with a resounding thud. 
Everyone, including Pinkie herself, was shocked at what had just happened. They made their way out of the castle and to where the fallen monarch had was laying.
