Beyond the Fourth Wall

Falling through

Just one week after the fourth wall incident, Ponyville went back to it’s old, calm demeanor, except for one pony.
*BOOM* “Gah! What was that?” exclaimed the purple dragon, dropping the books he was carrying.
“Spike, quit messing around. It was probably just Pinkie Pie again.” responded the purple unicorn pony.
“But what if it wasn’t? What if it was Nightmare Moon?”
*Sigh* “How many times do I have to tell you, Spike? After the other ponies and I defeated her, she turned back into Princess Luna.”
“But Twilight, you can’t be sure if you don’t check.”
“If I check, will that make you happy?”
“Yes, yes it would.”
“Fine, but I want to see this place clean when I get back.” Twilight left the tree library and headed over to Pinkie Pie’s home. Upon arrival at the front door, there was an explosion of force that knocked Twilight to the ground. “Ugg… What was that? Pinkie, are you okay?”
A pink pony’s head popped out of an upstairs room, causing Twilight to look up. “Twilight! Get the other ponies! Hurry!”
“Pinkie? What are you talking about?”
“No time to explain! Just get-” Suddenly Pinkie’s head disappeared into the window, accompanied by a scream that quickly faded out.
“Pinkie? Pinkie! Oh no. I’ve got to get the others.” Twilight galloped off toward the house of her nearest friend, Rarity.

Rarity was just putting the final touches on a new dress design when Twilight burst in scaring both Rarity and her cat.
“Oh, Twilight, it’s you. You really must stop bursting in like that. You nearly scared me half to death.”
“There’s no time for that now, Rarity. Pinkie’s in trouble!”
“Pinkie in trouble?!? What happened this time? Where is she?”
“There’s no time to explain! Just follow me!”
“What about the other ponies?”
“I sent spike to get them, now hurry up!” The two ponies dashed off towards Pinkie’s house at high speed. When they arrived, Flutter Shy, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Jack were waiting for them.
“Where have yall’ been?” Apple Jack asked as they approached, “We’ve been waiting for you.”
“Sorry, I had to wait for Rarity to go around a patch of mud, but that’s not important. We need to save Pinkie!”
“Wait!” boomed a voice before anypony could enter, “Do not go in there!” The ponies turned around and saw a tall pony with a slightly translucent mane coming towards them.
“AHHH! Nightmare Moon!” Spike yelled, cowering behind Twilight.
“Spike, calm down.” Twilight said, “It’s just Princess Luna. By the way, Princess, what are you doing here?”
“I felt a disturbance in the fabric of space around this area. I have come to make sure no pony is hurt.”
“But Pinkie Pie’s in trouble though!” Rainbow dash objected, “We have to save her!”
“Then allow me to accompany you. We do not know what could be in there.”
“Fine, but I’m not waiting up.” Rainbow said as she dashed inside. The rest of the ponies followed, but what they found there was beyond any of their imaginations.

Inside Pinkie’s room, there was a large, gaping hole in the middle of the floor. “I remember this hole.” Twilight remarked, “Pinkie called it the Fourth Wall.”
“Did you say the Fourth Wall?!?” Asked Luna, panicked, “Then this is serious.”
“Serious? How serious is it- Rarity! What are you doing?!?” Twilight yelled as she saw her friend scooting on the edge between the wall and the hole.
“I found some fabric I need!” She responded, “I’ll just grab- AIEEE!” She let out a piercing scream as her hoof slipped and she fell into the abyss.
“RARITY!” everypony yelled at once.
“I’ll save you my sweet!” Spike yelled as he jumped into the rift after Rarity.
“Spike, no!” Twilight yelled, grabbing onto his tail. Yet it seemed that the hole had a gravitational pull of it’s own, and it started pulling Twilight in as well. Everypony grabbed each other’s tails, forming a chain to pull the other two out. Suddenly the hole gave a huge tug and pulled them all in, closing after the last pony disappeared inside.
