8-Bit Pony

“I have an idea, Twilight,” Pinkie said, raising her hoof up into the air. When Twilight turned to face her, she lowered her hoof again and continued. “Why don’t we try the portal that you used to go to that other world where we’re all humans? Maybe that could send them back.”

At that suggestion, Twilight just gave Pinkie a really weird look. “What are you talking about, Pinkie?”

“Oh, you know the one, silly,” Pinkie replied, waving her hoof playfully in Twilight’s direction. “The portal that you used to go to the other world to get your crown back. You even adjusted it to open whenever you want, so we could probably adjust it further to lead wherever we want.”

While Pinkie’s expression stayed the same, Twilight just seemed to get more confused. “Pinkie, we have no time for your randomness. This is serious business.” She said, waving her off.

Pinkie now started to become as confused as Twilight. “What do you mean, Twilight? Remember, you went on that big adventure to take your crown back from Sunset Shimmer, and then you two became friends, and then you went on another adventure together after she called for your help.”

Twilight’s expression now started to slump, changing from confused to annoyed. “Pinkie, please stop with your random outbursts. We need to stay focused.” Twilight stomped her hoof on the ground. “Besides, I’ve never even met anypony named Sunset Shimmer. It’s also not a very imaginative name. It’s obviously just a synonym for ‘Twilight Sparkle’. If you’re going to make up a fake pony, at least try and be creative.”

“B-but it’s true.” Pinkie stuttered. “You two had a big adventure together and became friends. She even started writing to you in her journal, just like you wrote to Princess Celestia.” Her eyes then moved away from the purple alicorn and started scanning the shelves next to them. When she saw what she was looking for, she pointed her hoof at a large journal. “See, it’s right there.”

Turning her head to look at what Pinkie was pointing at, Twilight just grimaced and turned back to face the pink party pony again. “Pinkie, I assure you that I have no idea what you’re saying. I think that I would remember something like that happening.” She said, pridefully.

She then turned away from her again, with a smug smile on her face. A few seconds later, she suddenly started humming a familiar tune.

Pinkie was confused and a bit worried, but after a moment, she suddenly piped up in realisation. “Oh, I get it now. Those movies aren’t canon. That’s why she doesn’t remember. My bad.

And with that, the fourth wall cracked a little more.

“Hey, wait a minute!” Black Mage suddenly shouted out. “This is supposed to be my story. I can stand if you ponies go one or several chapters without appearing, but not me. I want my screen time, dammit!”

And then the chip of the fourth wall fell down on Black Mage, crushing him.
