Professor Dusty Tomes, Equestria's greatest scholar and Twilight Sparkle's childhood hero, arrives in Ponyville on a mission from Princess Celestia. He must study a unique phenomenon: a being whose inexplicable powers may have the potential to benefit Equestria—or even to destroy it. The object of his research? The cheerful, exuberant pony known as Pinkie Pie.

'The Curious Case of Benjimin Button'
The Baffling Case of Pinkamena Pie
Hmmm nah they have nothing in common
May I make a suggestion? Double space your paragraphs. It makes things infinitely easier to read.
2112762 Done. Thanks for the feedback!

Excellent. Now that I was able to focus on what was being said... Holy crap this was awesome. Also, am I the only one who read Tomes' lines in a slightly more dry version of John de Lancie's voice?
I love it when she breaks the fourth wall, it's extremely entertaining. Good story bro.
Wow. Forth wall book jokes. Nice.
2113692
should be she. Other than that, this was a super good story! I pictured Dusty Tomes having something of a Christopher Lloyd voice.
MUSTACHES! 
2128791 Ah, thanks for pointing out the error. It has been corrected.
Indeed, mustaches are the best.
This is one of the best fanfics I've read in a great while. It's not often I come across one that captures my attention, keeps me enraptured, and makes me laugh out loud. Kudos to you, sincerely.
And I loved the Doctor mentions and Twi geeking. Just... fabulous job overall.
2226373 Many thanks!
A bit too short, left me happy but unsatisfied. Wish it had gone into more depth. Enjoyed it.
Oh; my god. This was great. I actually giggled at a few parts. I DO NOT GIGGLE AT STORIES.
You, good sir, are good.
Writing and overall plot were pretty good, but could have benefitted from a slower pacing in the middle, there. Perhaps, describe the hijinks Pinkie got up to instead of just giving us a recap.
This was truly adorable. Now, thanks to you, I am off to watch Doctor Who...
*HEY!*
no series?
but hilarious and true to pinkie 
My only question: how did the Professor know when Pinkie broke the 4th wall? How does he even know what the 4th wall is?

He is of course familiar with the concept. He had no way of knowing for sure, so he just decided to count when she appeared to have done it.
Such an awesome, random one-shot. I loved the little details of stuff you threw in, like Pinkie correcting Derpy's name, mentions to the Doctor, other stuff that I'm probably forgetting, etc.
Also, Dusty Tomes sounds awesome if you imagine his voice in an over-the-top British accent.
Can we get some indents? I love doubles spaced paragraphs, but lack of indents makes my brain cry.
Darn! I wanted Pinkie exiled.
Wait, Pinkie?! I didn't mean you could crash at my place. Great! Now my house smells like horse... and sugar. Horse and sugar.
this ran like an episode... I love it.
Flowed like a river. Nice.
KuKuKu...

I'll echo that. You actually -could- turn it into an episode, assuming they ever wanted to try that angle.
I feel like something was missing from the middle of it, but it still stands well enough. Just the actual experimentation; he gave up pretty fast, it seems.
Also, I'm surprised Twilight would not have MET such a teacher during her time as Celestia's personal student. At the very least, not be so very star-struck that she could not talk to him about magic/science stuff, peppering him with questions about her studies, his opinion on this theory or that experiment, etc.
2230808 As it happens, Dusty Tomes had been carefully avoiding Twilight for years.
It feels a bit rushed to me, mainly because I was looking forward to seeing Dusty Tomes trying to study Pinkie using various tests. Odds are you never intended that to be a big part of the story in the first place, so it's really my fault for getting hyped up based on the description.
So we have Inky, Blinky, and Pinkie. I'm guessing their parents names are Clyde and Sue?
I loved the writing style on this -- it kept me engaged almost all the way through. The only part that caused a bit of an eyeroll for me was the bit where each member of the Mane 6 came and not-so-subtly stated their element to Pinkie. It just seemed so... perfunctory.
Other than that, though, I quite enjoyed it, and commend the way you handled Pinkie. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed this. Your writing style made me smile, and even laugh at some points
Good job!
“What’s all this about you leavin’ town, Pinkie?” she exclaimed. “You ain’t goin’ nowhere without your friends, sugarcube. I’m an honest mare, and I’m tellin’ the truth when I say your friends ain’t gonna let you down.”
“It wouldn’t be very kind of us to let you go alone,” said a soft voice from behind Applejack. Fluttershy crept into the room. “I’m sorry,” she said. “Am I interrupting?”
The window burst open, rebounded on its hinges and nearly hit Rainbow Dash in the face.
“Sorry about that,” she said, climbing in through the window and tumbling onto the floor. “Hey Pinks, I hear you’re thinking of leaving Ponyville without us. We’re not gonna let that happen. I pride myself on my loyalty, y’know. I can’t let any friend of mine take off alone!”
“Dear me,” said Rarity, squeezing into the room. “I didn’t expect such a crowd! Pinkie, darling, you mustn’t go—you really mustn’t. A friend must always be generous, and I’m willing to give you whatever you need to make it through this dreadful tribulation.”
Strange. I don't usually notice things like that. Anyway, it was a great fanfic, and I really enjoyed reading it!
*grins and applauds* Beautiful fic! Very adorable, well characterized OC and a really lovely and sweet story. I hope to read more of your works.
I liked the first third – specially the ultra-posh professor. The rest not so much. You went overboard with the references, Pinkie deciding to go to exile and then giving up came from nowhere, then simply fizzled out, and the whole thing felt too much like Feeling Pinkie Keen 1.1.
For the final two thirds I would give a thumbs down, but since I liked the beginning I will leave it as is.
Twilight frowned, “Yes, Pinkie, I know about town hall. I was there. Anyway, I think it’s very sweet of you to make muffins with Ditzy.”
"Derpy."
Cute little portrayal of Derpy's controversy. Thought that was pretty funny.
"...You have accurately predicted thirty-one future events. You have burst spontaneously into song twice, produced fourteen items out of thin air and made seven pronouncements supporting the metaphysical doctrine of subjective idealism.”
"I don't think the people reading this understood that last one," Pinkie said.
Out of the many ways you used Pinkie's personality to break these boundaries, I thought this one was perfect.
I've started doing YouTube readings so I gave this a quick record.
It's a good fic.
2550647 I'm honored. You've a fine voice for reading!
This should totally be a legit episode of mlp. The part when she said the audience had no idea what the professor said made me laugh alot.
Thx for the great story! Derpy approved 
2651275 Approved by Derpy? There is no higher honor.
That professor is so MEEEAAAAN!!! Send him to THE RAINBOW FACTORY!!! (That's been shut down!) Oh really? then...um... SUGARCUBE CORNER TO BE MADE INTO CUPCAKES!!! (Pinkie is currently missing) Oh come on!
Sounds about right.
2734953 QueenQB
Sorry the RAINBOW FACTORY is closed, but have the PEGASUS DEVICE instead, much more powerfull
(PEGASUS DEVICE is the name of a sequel of RAINBOW FACTORY)
Wait for it.......
Allow me to stop you right there, Mr. Professor. Trust me when I tell you...you will never comprehend the Power that is Pinkie Pie. Her logic and reasoning completely defies all...uh...logic and reasoning...? Anyhow, don't try to understand. Just don't.
You never will.
*nods* Eeyup!
Bwahahahaha!!! Loved this paragraph so much!!!!
Dang. This guy...er, unicorn...is worse than Twilight at keeping notes!
*drily* Yeah...about as dangerous as newborn kitten....sheesh, Professor!! You're scaring her!
I should have been tearful at this...but it made me laugh so hard.
What Twilight said.
Loved this story!!!
I don't think "subjective idealism" has anything to do with the "fourth wall"
.
I don't think these are their names
...
This has made me smile
! When I reshelve the stories I have read, this one may find a special bookshelf. Know, however, that this is decent
