Laughter is a great think. Some times it causes others to laugh, sometimes you laugh so hard your cheeks turn red and your lips hurt from smiling to hard. But laughter, can also cause pain in a persons life, what that emotion, that element did to me, and so many other people…

It all started when I was the young age of ten, I was the youngest sibling of a family of five. I had two older sisters, and a dog, my sister Anna named him Discord after the chaos troll in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I never cared for the show, I was the only other boy in the house beside dad, and Discord. Despite the fact he was Anna's dog, he loved me more, use guys have to stick together you know? Anyways… I was very spectacle of the show My Little pony, seeing as it was a girls show, and I just wasnt enterested.

Because of this, my sisters kept calling me a nay sayer, basically someone who doesn't like or watch the show. This made me feel like I was being bullied and to make it stop, I got on my mom's computer and watched the first episode of Youtube. Much to my surprise… I kind of liked the show. The colors popped and caught my attention, but what really made me enjoy it more, was how it seamed to actually have a story. A plot, something to make me even more curious…

How did Luna become Nightmare moon, who at the time, she looked like a filly, and Nightmare was a full grown pony. And how old were Luna and Celestial truly? This new generation had something the others did not. Even better, there were male ponies, male characters!

My favorite character besides Pinkie Pie, was Spike, a little male dragon, who reminded me of myself in a way, he was young, and loved Twilight Sparkle very much, and the main six as well. I knew what it was like to be the youngest in a group so I felt something for the baby dragon.

And as much as I would hate to admit, I loved Pinkie. She was just so fun, so bouncy and her off the wall antics made me laugh. I soon found myself being the class clown at my school, and had become more happy and compliant with teachers. Somehow. The show had turned me into a more confident person, and more likable as well. Even though I got picked on by older boys for liking a girly show, I still got by quite well, and continued watching the show every time a new episode came out.

Finally one day, for my eleventh birthday, my sisters got me my very own brony T-shirt. It had my favorite character on it, Pinkie Pie. I was never a hard core brony, like collecting all the toys and shirts, and having an absolute spas when the show came on. I simply waited till the new episodes released on Youtube and watched them when I wasn't busy with homework or friends.

After time passed the news was released there would only be thirteen episodes of season three. I was a bit depressed by this, but quickly learned of a season four that would arrive within the next month or so, so I wasn't in any bad shape. However the last episode of season three confused me… How would they continue after this? Would Twilight stay in ponyvill? Or Canterlot? I dismissed it. I had to leave it up to the creators of the show.

Finally one day I head of a new episode release. Excited and ready to see what Hasbro had made I got on youtube and looked it up. Sadly… I was met with several results "MLP FIM Season 4 ep 1 ban,"

What? But why? Curious, I started researching this. What I found disturbed me.

"The firs episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic season four ban cause of negative side effects on children."

Negative side effects? What kind of side effects? I dug deeper…

"After the episode's release ten reports of children breaking down into a historical fit of laughter, and screaming, caused the show to be taken down from TV stations, and online websites. The children who watched the episode are still in hospitals being treated. The epidemic has been named Giggle Me Pink. Seeing as the only responses the children will utter is the word 'Pink'."

Confused, I cocked my head to the side. I asked my sisters but they hadn't been able to watch it like me. Unlike me, I wasn't really willing to go on a crazy hunt to find the banned episode, my sisters where looking for it like whiled dogs chasing smaller innocent creatures. I gotta admit, it frightened me a bit.

Weeks had passed and still no new episodes of MLP were posted, or announced. I was a little discouraged after a while, and decided to stop worrying about it. There were still three great seasons for me to rematch and enjoy.

That is until one day at school, my friend Molly passed me a DVD.

"I can't keep this… Mom and dad can't know I ever had this, can you get rid of it for me, please?" She asked. I looked at the disk, wondering what it was.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Its the episode that was ban from TV and the internet…"

My eyes widened. I was looking at probably one of the only copies of a missing episode, and she wanted me to dispose of it. I took it carefully and nodded, silently slipping it into my backpack. Molly hugged me, tears welling in my eyes. Something had frightened her and I was relieving her of that fear.

When I got home that day I sat on the couch and watched cartoon network for a while. Mom and dad left with my two older sisters to go to some meeting I guess. I know, leaving an eleven year old by himself? They did it all the time, both my sisters had problems, and often needed doctor visits, and they never had to bring me along, seeing as I never left the house, or unlocked the doors. After a while… I looked at my bag. The DVD was still in it.

I got it out and went to the kitchen and grabbed a hammer, I was going to smash it, but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to do it. How could a harmless kids show cause so much damage? I decided to find out myself, and reluctantly piped the disk into the living room DVD player.

The episode started up like every other show, playing the god awful opening that as good as the animation was, I just didn't care for it. Quickly getting bored with the opening, I fast forwarded it to the actual episode.

It started off with no sound, and Pinkie Pie trotting along a path. It seamed normal for a while but… The same sean was in loop for what seamed like four to five minutes. Getting bored, I was about to turn it off and get up when suddenly.

"CUTYOULIPSTOSMILE"

I jumped. What in the hell was that? It came from the TV, from… Pinkie Pie… Why would a kids show have "Cut your lips to smile?" screamed at the children? It was a very dark and frightening thing to hear.

I stayed and continued to watch. As I did, things got worse in the show. Ponyvill had turned into a bloody world of nightmares, and all the ponies were either dead or pariliesed or dead, all with smiles carved into their faces. Thats right, carved, cut. Suddenly Pinkie flashed to the screen, laughing at the top of her lounges in what I thought to be the most horrific voice I've ever heard. She continued to laugh and laugh and laugh. For twenty minutes, she laughed like this.

As she did so, the background blacked out and her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth bled. It was disturbing. I felt my lips began to curl, I too started laughing… Historically… It got worse, as I was unable to stop myself. It hurt, I couldn't stop at all. I felt tears escape my eyes as an overwhelming feeling of deed came over me. If I couldn't stop, my lounge would give out from my inability to even breath.

"Keep smiling! Just never stop! Laugh!" Pinkie cried in a demonic deep tone.

I was terrified, and my mouth was now turned up in a sick twisted smile, like Pinkies. I had to stop myself somehow. I got up, stumbling, and still laughing and took the hammer I was going to use to smash the DVD. Still giggling, I took the hammer, and began violently smashing the DVD player. For what seeming like an eternity, till finally, the DVD stopped play and the TV shout off. I fell to the ground, crying historically, and still giggling slightly. My lips hurt so much, they were stuck in that twisted smile.

I don't remember much after that… I remember hearing my mom scream when she saw me on the floor with broken machine parts everywhere. I had apparently struck my own skull as well, as a failed attempted to knock my self out. I suffered miner injuries, but still, my pedants took me to the hospital.

Doctors knew what was wrong seeing as they had treated three other children who suffered the same fate as me. The Giggle Me Pink epidemic.

I've been in the hospital for a month now, and to this day, I still here that sadistic laugh, the disturbing images and things that were said. Today, reporters ask me how I had even seen the video to begin with. Seeing as every copy was destroyed, and banned from every possible devised that could view its content. I told them how my friend had recorded the copy and gave it to me to despise of it.

I had been a fool to watch it, but to my horror, they popped that cursed disk into a DVD player in front of me.

"This is the disk we extracted from your broken DVD player, in perfect concision too." One of them said. Upon viewing the content… My jaw dropped, it started playing a previous episode from season two. We were all baffled…

After a while, reporters gave up questioning me, and left me to recover from the living nightmare.

After that… There was never another Giggle Me Pink outbreak after then….

END?
