Spotting Twilight Sparkle in an unusually bad case of "twilighting", Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer try to calm her down. They are quite used to it.
But when Twilight explains why she was twilighting, again, her friends realize it's actually justified this time. They all agree to help Ponyville survive a disaster Twilight believes is imminent.
Will they be successful, and why did Twilight's friends suddenly believe she was on to something...?
This is... epic.

Thanks! I'm assuming it's a good thing!
When Tirek actually helped them...
10080284
Yeah, how about that?
That was utterly stupid. Nice work.

Since I went for silly and turned it up to eleven, I take that as a good thing!
Okay, that was funny. But "What could possibly go wrong" isn't nearly as concerning as "could it possibly get any worse".
10080339
Oh, if one of them were dumb enough to say the latter, none of Equestria would be left.
Haha, you weren’t featured
Funny story tho
10080646
It was featured, for about 20 or 30 minutes. Unless it happens again, It was fun while it lasted.
And thanks.
10080673
Wow, the featured board’s been moving fast lately
I really want to know what the forbidden phrase is, but I stopped reading the moment Tirek was mentioned. I really need to finish watching season 9.
*thinks a bit*
I might be able to guess, though. Let's see...
"This can't get any worse" or something along those lines? That'll fit...
To be fair if somepony said any variant of that phrase I’d at least recommend double checking your insurance policy.
10081036
That would be a smart idea!
10081017
I can neither confirm or deny how close you were.
I did try to write this story in a way that wouldn't truly spoil season 9. For all intent and purposes, this Tirek pretty much just wants to do what he did in the season 4 finale.
10081017
I can confirm that this story does nothing to spoil Season 9.

If ever a pony dared, a portal into the 40k universe would open in Equestria.
HOW DARE YOU LEAVE SHIMMEY OR THE REST OF EQUESTRIA OUT OF THIS?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
also, how DARE you assume the color of the code you codesict?!
i’m sorry, i just read Political Correct Equestria 1 and 2, XD
10123761
Oh, Twilight wasn't twilighting that bad to need all of Equestria to calm her down...though that could make for an amusing story
You read Political Correct Equestria 1 and 2 too huh? I got a laugh out of them too.
10123788
WHOO! :D
Buck you random wannabe author person. I'll ship them all I want. And you can't do anything about it.
10081017
Yay! I finally read the whole story!
It was a disaster, yeah, but hey, it could have been worse.
10256620
True.
All of Equestria could have been destroyed.
Miraculous. On sheer curiosity of what the phrase could be, you made me read through the story.
10355412
Thanks! I might write a variation to this story at some point, but not as a sequel.
This was pretty good, altough the moment that acually made me laugh out loud was the first time you dodged the bullet about Tirek's muscles.
10355483
Thanks, and that was one of my favorite lines in the story.
I love the consistently dry and matter-of-fact humor from the narration. Really ties together the sheer absurdity of the whole series of events.
And I just knew either Dash or Twilight herself would slip up after they had found out they were in the clear.

Glad you liked it!
if i remember, WAY back in the episode "look before you sleep", Twilight says "is there anything else that could POSSIBLY go wrong?" and lightning strikes a nearby tree...
Hehehehehehehe time to shi- wait what did the next line say?
Ugh fine.
You never said I couldn´t ship Sparlight, Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha. I love shipping.
what could possibly go wrong
code maroon cide maroon aaaaaaaaaaa were all gonna die aaahhhhhhh
Stroked.
You had ONE JOB.
Good story.

I fixed that error and I'm glad you liked the story!
Reference
I didn't expect Dash to screw up in the end, but honestly I'm not that surprised.
11576527
I had to translate that to make sure it was the part I was thinking it was, but yep.

Poor Rainbow blew it, but she tried.
