The Beginning
Alright, I'm almost done. Just a few more words and my masterpiece will be complete. I can do this. I can do this. It's 3:00 A.M., but that doesn't mean I can't finish my story.
"Twilight, you can't just 'break the fourth wall!' It doesn't work like that. You have to look beyond the veil, and see everything outside of it. It's not like smashing a window, it's more like looking through fogged glass." Pinkie said, hopping up and down.
Hmm... That sounded nothing like Pinkie. Oh well, I'll fix it later.
The purple unicorn looked at her friend quizzically. "I'm afraid I don't understand, Pinkie. Could you show me?"
"Sure! You just focus, and try to see beyond the veil like this..." Pinkie squinted a bit, gazing intently off into space. "Just a bit closer... THERE IT IS!"
"There what is, Pinkie?" Twilight said, confused.
Alright, I think that's enough for tonight. I'll finish it tomorro-
"I see it, Twilight! The other side! And OOH! There's a big ape-thing on the other side of the wall, Twilight! He looks tired! And maybe even a little pale." Pinkie said excitedly.
Uhh... I didn't write that.
"I'm gonna go say hi to him! He looks like he needs some cheering up anyway" Pinkie smiled, then stuck her head forward, as if through a wall of Jell-o. To Twilight, however, it appeared that her head was completely off her body, and it seemed to disappear.
This is trippy. I am watching this story write itself, before my very eyes? What the he-
Wait a minute. Is that...
"HIIIIII! How are you? My name is Pinkie Pie!"
"Blaaargh!" I respond intelligently. Well, as intelligently as I can when a pony head pops out of nowhere and yells at me.
"Oh, I scared you huh? That's not good. I remember once Rainbow Dash scared me, and it was suuuper-not fun. But, here I am, and I guess it's too late to just pull back now."
It is at about this point I regret that last piece of Anchovy-Salami pizza.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Twilight!" Pinkie says, and before I can get in a word she pops back into the screen, and I am left alone.
Okay, that was trippy. I think I just saw Pinkie Pie, come from my own story, and...
No, no way, no how did I just see that. I must be dreaming. Only explanation. Let me get to pinching myself...
Twilight stared, horrified, at the body of her friend, that now (to her mortal eyes) did not appear have a head. She yelled, franticly: "Pinkie! Pinkie! Where are you? Pinkie?" Her tone got more and more pleading as she continued.
With a loud POP!, Pinkie Pie bounced backwards, now with her head attached. "Ooh, that was fuuuun..." Pinkie Pie smiled. "I haven't broken through the wall in a looong time, and boy did it feel good. It's like finally taking your socks of after a long day, and just relaxing. Except breaking the fourth wall isn't really relaxing, it's more exciting. So it's like relaxing, at an amusement park!" She said, gigging. "I think I scared the monkey on the other side, though."
"... Monkey... on the other side... Pinkie, what are you saying?" Twilight was exasperated.
"Well, what I'm saying is..." She paused. "Actually, I'll just show you! Give me one second!" And with that, she walked back to the place she was standing previously, a determined look on her face.

Okay, let's recap, from the beginning. I was writing, and then I got to where I was going to stop for the night, and then the story kept writing itself, and then Pinkie...
"HI AGAIN!"
This time, instead of intelligently yelling something like "BLARGH", I think it sounded more like "YEIH!". Either way, it didn't sound English. Maybe it was Yiddish, or Klingon, but not anything I could see.
"Sooo, my friend Twilight wants to see you really really really bad because she thinks that you aren't real but I mean you are right there so of course you are real, I mean, duh! But I guess she can't see you because she doesn't believe in the 'fourth wall' and every time I try to tell her there is no spoon she just says something about materialism, or something. Anyway she doesn't believe me, and so if you will come with me for one second I will show you to her and then I'll bring you right back! Pinkie Promise!" She says, and I think I did not count one pause for breath in that entire string.
"...Wha" Before you judge me for my rather intelligent response when faced with every brony's dream, may I remind you that it is 2 AM. I had a friggin' math final today for Pete's sake!
"GREAT! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I promise we'll be right back!" Pinkie Pie says, disregarding my dazed and slightly nauseous expression. I think it is at this point I realize I just accidentally agreed to hop planes with a character I had thought to be fictional just five minutes before, but I don't have time to say anything as while this dawns on me she sticks her hoof out of my screen (which isn't a 3D screen, either) and everything goes white.
---
Her re-entry is much more graceful than mine. Her head and left hoof pop back into existence, slamming her rump into the ground from the force. Well, I land with the same force, but... let's just say much less gracefully. Hey, at least I break the fall with my face, protecting my writing arm. I mean, give me some credit.
Alright. I was dazed, I fell, and got a mouthful of dirt. How can you blame me when I had just been yanked through the fabric of reality? What's that about any landing you walk away from ?
As I try to sit up and get a grip, I hear a voice behind me.
"Pinkie Pie, what in the name of Celestia is that?!"
"Oh, that's the monkey I told you about." Pinkie Pie says, not missing a beat. "I think he is a little confused, like I was when I first hopped planes!"
"Pinkie! Do you realize-"
Unfortunately, a lack of sleep combined with a moment of extreme shock are enough to snatch consciousness from my grasp, and I miss the last of her statement.
I hope this is a nightmare. If the HiE fics I read are to be believed, I'm in for a bumpy ride.
