Narrator: It was a lovely day in the Hundred Acres Woods-
Dede42: (pops up in the frame) Um, check the script, it's jungle, not the Hundred Acres Woods.
Narrator: (checks the script) Oops, my mistake.
Dede42: Ok, from the top. (ducks out of sight)
Narrator: (clears his throat) It was a lovely day in the jungle of India-
Dr. Hooves: (pops into frame this time) Not India, my good man, Africa. (ducks out of sight again.)
Narrator: (Checks the script again) Oops. (Clears his throat again) It was a lovely day in the jungle of Africa…
In the jungle that Timon and Pumbaa called home, the meerkat and the warthog had just finished a good breakfast of their favorite insects and grubs while Discord, who they were looking after while a certain orange unicorn was busy in finding a way to drop hints and suggestions to a certain Princess of Equestria about how the Lord of Chaos' magic could be a force for good instead of evil without revealing that she herself was making the suggestions, had had a breakfast of all kinds of fruits, some of which he'd summoned with his chaos magic.
Now they were both lying on a large flat rock and they were enjoying the warm sunlight filtering down through the branches of the many trees and vines.
"Ah, this is the life, isn't it guys?" Timon asked, stretching and sighing with content.
Pumbaa nodded and burped. "It sure is."
"Yep," Discord agreed. "Although I wish we had something to do today. I'm bored."
Timon thought about this for a moment and realized that the chaos spirit was right. "Y'know Discord, you're right," he agreed, and this was a surprising development. "So am I. What about you, Pumbaa?"
"Well now that you mention it, me too," Pumbaa admitted. "Since working with Simba for so long up to the point where we'd quit working with him entirely, having nothing to do isn't as much fun as it used to be for some reason."
Discord tapped his chin with one claw, trying to think of something that they could do that would be fun. "Hmm. Well how about trying some of those virtual safaris that you've been telling me about lately?" he suggested.
Timon shuddered at the thought. "Yeah, as much as I wanna try them again myself, I don't think that's such a good idea."
"Why not?" Discord inquired, having been hoping to try one of them out.
Pumbaa shrugged. "Well I don't know if the glitches have been fixed yet."
"You mean to say that they still go horribly wrong for you both?" the spirt of chaos questioned.
"Unfortunately so," Timon answered, wincing at the memories of the last time he and Pumbaa had tried out the jeep virtual safari. "Unless of course you can try to fix it with your chaos magic."
Discord considered this and shook his head. "Well I would but that might make things worse."
"...Good point," Timon agreed, seeing how that could end badly for all of them, and came up with a different idea. "Hmm...I got it! Let's go bungee jumping off the tallest tree!"
Pumbaa and Discord both beamed at the idea. "Okay!"
Minutes later, the trio had gathered vines and Discord teleported them to the top of the tallest tree that was a personal favorite of the meerkat and the warthog. They tied the vines around their waist and to the branch that they were standing on. The spirt of chaos peered down and noted how far the ground was below them.
"Are you two sure this is safe?" he wondered, having never done something like this before, not even during his childhood in Equestria.
"Ah don't be such a worry wart, Discord," Timon assured him with a confident smile. "We do this all the time. Ready Pumbaa?" 'As long as no portals open to yank us to a different jungle entirely.'
"Ready!" Pumbaa exclaimed and they both jumped with Discord following not far behind.
"Wahoo!"
"Geronimo!"
They both went up and down over and over again repeatedly until the vines snapped due to Pumbaa's weight and they both crashed into the ground with Pumbaa on top of Timon while Discord just teleported himself out his vine.
"Pumbaa...you're...crushing...me!" Timon gasped, trying to get free. "Get your rear end of me!"
Pumbaa quickly got off the meerkat. "Oh, sorry!"
"Well, I did say this probably wasn't safe," Discord remarked and snapped his fingers. He transformed into Sir Hiss, "but no, no, no. You wouldn't listen." He then transformed back into himself
Timon pried himself out of the ground. "You know what, pals?" he asked and they looked at him questioningly. "I got a much better idea! Come on!" And he headed back to where their beds were.
Reaching the sleeping area, Timon grabbed his infamous blue suitcase, opened it, and he began to dig through it frantically. Both Pumbaa and Discord ducked as all kinds of things came flying out during the search, and the spirit of chaos was wondering whether the suitcase was a different version of the TARDIS when the meerkat finally revealed the pendants that they'd been given after the whole incident back in Equestria.
"Here we go," Timon said cheerfully, handing his friends two of the pendants while putting his on around his neck. "So, you two. Care to take a trip to Sunny Bunny's house in Ponyville? It'll be less painful for the three of us."
"Oh yeah!" Pumbaa and Discord agreed eagerly.
The meerkat beamed. "Alrighty then!" They touched the pendants, concentrating hard until in a flash of light, they disappeared!
While the trio were on they're way to Sunrise Blossom's house, in the land of Equestria, the sun was starting to set, and in Ponyville, the ponies were getting ready for an annual once a year event known as the Nightmare Night Festival, which of course for some reason is the pony version of Halloween.
At the Apothecary, Sunrise Blossom was in her bedroom, making adjustments to her costume in the mirror while glancing at a photo of a tall female unicorn with light blue skin, red mane and tail with purple highlights, emerald green eyes, and a cutie mark that was a cross between a glass bottle and a diamond crown.
The unicorn in the photo was wearing a purple bandana around her head in a manner that didn't interfere with her horn, gold beads in her mane, a gold necklace with a sapphire pendent around her neck, gold hoop earrings, a white off-shoulder silk blouse, a red velvet skirt, a brown corset, a purple/pink scarf with gold coins tied around her waist, and gold bracelets. The unicorn was named Mythic Diadem, a historical unicorn who was famous for her potions and remedies, and was also the little sister of the wizard Star Swirl the Bearded.
'Rarity did a great job when I asked her to make this costume for me,' Sunrise Blossom thought, making a minor adjustment to the bandana before turning from the mirror. 'I wonder if any pony will be able to guess who I'm dressed as beside Twilight? Odds are most will think that I'm dressed as gypsy, which wouldn't be too far from the truth.' She was heading for the stairs to go downstairs when there was a flash of light and a crashing sound that had her pet cat, Rosemary, howling and hissing. "Rosemary!"
Sunrise Blossom raced down the stairs to the main floor and blinked when she saw sprawled on the floor and covered with several baskets of herbs a familiar meerkat, a familiar warthog, and the familiar form of Discord, and they all were looking very sheepish, cringing when the angry cat hissed at them.
"Timon? Pumbaa? Discord? What're you three doing here?" she asked while shooing Rosemary away and magically cleaned up the mess so that the two animals to get up. "I thought you were going to be hanging out in the jungle until I can secretly convince Princess Celestia that your magic can be used for good."
"We were," Timon replied, dusting himself off a bit. "But we thought to come for a visit since bungee jumping didn't end too well."
"Yup," Pumbaa agreed cheerfully. "So, what's going on to have you all dressed up, Sunny?"
"Ooh, you're dressed like dear Mythic Diadem, aren't you?" Discord asked eagerly, moving around the orange unicorn and admiring the costume. "Perfect in every detail! I bet that Rarity made this for you."
Sunrise Blossom nodded. "She did," she confirmed and explained what was going on to Timon and Pumbaa. "And it so just happens that tonight is a festival known as Nightmare Night. "And everypony gets to wear costumes, play games, and the fillies get to collect candy so that they can give and offering to keep Nightmare Moon from eating them."
Timon and Pumbaa exchanged confused looks. "Nightmare who?"
"Oh, that silly tradition that was started after Princess Luna went dark side didn't she?" Discord guessed.
"It's hardly a silly tradition, Discord," Sunrise Blossom retorted. "It's fun for the foals and fillies. Plus, you can dress up, play games, and eat candy."
"That sounds a lot like the human tradition of Halloween," Timon pointed out and when the orange unicorn looked at him questioningly, he explained. "Humans had this once a year event called Halloween, which has grownups and kids wearing costumes, collecting candy, and just having plain fun."
Sunrise Blossom nodded. "That's similar and sound like what we ponies do."
The meerkat nodded and got an idea. "Hmm, eating candy sounds fun," he said thoughtfully. "I think we should take part in it!"
"Um, Timon," said Pumbaa uncertainly. "Discord will be spotted and that would be bad given that he's suppose to be a stone statue right now."
Discord laughed. "Oh, don't worry, I have the perfect solution." He snapped his fingers and was soon dressed like Tigger, with a mask covering his face. "Ta da!"
"Good choice, Discord," Sunrise Blossom complimented. "Now to get costumes for Timon and Pumbaa, and we can head out. Just try not to over do it, ok?"
"I promise."
"You're not going to have me dress in drag and do the hula are?" Timon asked, having done that more times then he had ever wanted to.
The orange unicorn laughed. "Don't worry, you won't have to dress in drag tonight. Come on." And she lead them upstairs to get the meerkat and the warthog ready.
A/N: And that should do it, so expect more fun tomorrow! R&R everyone!
