L was trudging through Castle Bleck, thinking about virtually nothing, when he bumped into something solid.

Strange, the masked man thought.

"Hiya, L!" chirped Raven, breaking L's thoughts. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Not much," said L, deciding to ask about the headphones and the computer. "So... what's with the headphones and computer?"

"I'm reading fanfiction!"

"Excuse me?"

"Fanfiction!" repeated the bubbly forest girl, indicating the screen. "I've made a new discovery called the 'Internet' and I decided to try it out! I searched up 'Castle Bleck' and I found this website! It's awesome!"

L froze. "D-did anybody tell you about this?"

"Nope!" replied Raven happily. "I did it ALL myself!"

Cursing his stupidity at forgetting to tell Raven about fanfiction, he laid a gloved hand on Raven's shoulder and proceeded to explain the horror, humiliation and harrassment that fanfiction induced.


Dimentio Amentibus Scurra was not easily scared. But when L Bolt Thunder told him about Raven Ari Featherclaw's latest discoveries, the former practically exploded.

"WHAAAAAT?"

"I know," said L. "She could see all those... ugh... fanfics that those wretched idiots put up for all to see!"

"WHATTAWEGONNADOOOOOOOO?" gabbled Dimentio.

"Ban the Internet?" suggested L.

"But that's like SOPA!" sobbed Dimentio, who had descended unnervingly fast into nonsensicality.

"Well, whaddaya suggest?" demanded L.

"Tuba wombat marsupial flank tap dance alphabet groove wiggle wart namby-pamby," moaned Dimentio.

"That helps," muttered L, grabbing the whining jester by the wrist and dragging him along with him.


Meanwhile, in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle was studying, and hard. Spike was trying to get Peewee the baby phoenix and Owlicious the owl to assimilate, but very little was getting done.

As Twilight drearily turned a page, wishing nothing more that a beautiful peanut-butter and strawberry smoothie from Sugar Cube Corner, a sudden flash of light, very much like the one where Future Twilight had materialised, exploded in front of her. With a yell, Twilight cantered backwards - if at all possible - and gaped at the spinning mass that was forming into L and Dimentio.

"Mr. L!" exclaimed Twilight happily, once the glow had subsided. "Dimentio! How are you? And... did you grow wings?"

"Yes," said L curtly. "Listen Twi, we can't stay long - fifteen minutes is the absolute max. We need a special flower from Zecora called 'Lie's Deny'. Don't ask questions, just move it!"

Startled, Twilight obeyed the calls, and teleported to the middle of Everfree Forest.
