CHAPTER FOUR: DISCOVERY ISSUES
Promising the other pegasi that she would find a new home for them, Commander Hurricane and Private Pansy flew through the blizzard to find a new land to call home, and while the blue pegasus was enjoying flying through the storm, the yellow pegasus was struggling.
"C'mon, Private Pansy, let's get a move on!" Commander Hurricane ordered, flying back to her aide. "Hup-one, hup-two!" Just then, the lightning crackled across the sky, scaring Private Pansy so badly that she yelped and jumped into the forelegs of the commander.
Annoyed, Commander Hurricane shoved her away. "Get a hold of yourself, Private!" she snapped and began pushing her from behind. "We cannot let anything distract us from the mission at hand. To find, and if necessary, to conquer a new land!"
"Conquer, sir?" Private Pansy repeated, perplexed.
Commander Hurricane looked around cautiously. "You never know where enemies might be lurking."
"I don't see any enemies, Commander. Just… snow," said Private Pansy.
Just then, Commander Hurricane attacked an oddly shaped cloud. "A-ha! What's that?!"
Private Pansy watched her for a moment and then yelped when a cloud touched her, and she ended up in her commander's forelegs once again.
"Okay. This is getting old," Commander Hurricane grumbled, dropping her aide this time.
Down on the ground, Princess Platinum, Clover the Clever, and Willow the Wise had set out to find a new land for the unicorns, and true to form, the Princess was complaining.
"Oh, this is simply taking forever," she moaned. "My hooves are killing me! How long have we been walking for?"
"About five minutes, your highness," Clover the Clever answered, pushing aside a branch to reveal the castle.
"Oh, I never imagined finding a new land would be so hard," Princess Platinum complained, but she was still walking at the moment. "But it'll all be worth it, don't you agree?"
"Actually we think that the three tribes could've tried harder," Willow the Wise suggested.
Princess Platinum scoffed and then she screamed when she saw something. "Stoooooop!"
The twins ran to her side, looking around quickly for danger. "What's wrong?"
"That is what's wrong!" the Princess exclaimed, pointing fearfully at the stream.
"Your Highness, it's just a stream," Clover the Clever reassured her, crossing over a few stones to the other side, and Willow the Wise did the same. "We can cross it easily."
"I refuse to get my gown wet," Princess Platinum objected. "I have no intention of arriving at my new land looking like a bedraggled Earth pony, or worse yet a rough-and-tumble Pegasus. I, for one, have no intention of stooping down to their level. On the other hand, I have no trouble watching you stoop down," she added slyly. And the twins groaned.
"I'll deal with this one, sis," said Willow the Wise to her twin, and went to assist their Princess by letting her ride on her back.
"And do watch the gown, darling," Princess Platinum warned as they crossed the stream. "It's worth more than all of the books in your library."
Meanwhile, Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie were searching for a new land for the Earth ponies, and it wasn't going well since the Chancellor had cut holes in the map, which was taped upside down on her face.
"Yes, yes," said the Chancellor as they walked around in a complete circle. "This is definitely the right direction."
"It feels like we're going in circles," Smart Cookie grumbled while glancing at the ground that was covered in a circle made out of their hoof-prints, unfortunately, her boss heard her.
"But that's impossible," Chancellor Puddinghead protested. "Are you suggesting that I'm reading the map wrong?"
Smart Cookie shook her head. "Absolutely not, your chancellorness," she said quickly. "It's just that there are holes in the map, and-"
"How else could I see where I was going?" Chancellor Puddinghead interrupted.
"Yeah, uh-" Smart Cookie began.
"Or talk?" the Chancellor continued. "I need to be able to talk! I mean, how would we survive if I just suddenly shut up?" And she almost fell off a ledge as she spoke.
Smart Cookie rolled her eyes. "Heaven forbid that should happen, your chancellorship," she said sarcastically. "Heh. It's just that… the map is also upside down."
Chancellor Puddinghead smirked. "I got a newsflash for you, Cookie. The Earth is round. There is no up or down."
"You're right!" Smart Cookie agreed. "It's such a relief to me that you're in charge of this map…"
"Relief?" the Chancellor repeated, frowning. "You don't need relief! If any pony needs relief around here, it's me! I'm a chancellor! I'm a big shot! You're just my, um… my, uh…"
"Secretary," Smart Cookie suggested.
"Whatever," said Chancellor Puddinghead. "You take the map, while I enjoy some relief." She shoved the map into her secretary's hooves, and then she did fall off a small ledge.
Smart Cookie chuckled. "Yes, Chancellor Puddinghead." And the Chancellor popped up and beamed.
The curtain came down and Spike returned to the stage, still talking with a fake British accent. "And so, each leader encountered obstacles along the way, but eventually, they all arrived in a new and wondrous land," he told the audience as the curtain lifted again to show a new scene. "Nopony had ever seen paradise before."
The two peagsi flew over a wide lush land and both were thrilled with their discovery.
"This is the new land we've been searching for!" Commander Hurricane exclaimed, landing on a white cloud to look around.
"What a view…" said Private Pansy said happily. "I can see my future house from here."
Pleased, Commander Hurricane got out a blue flag and stuck it into the cloud. "I proclaim this new land to be…Pegasopolis!" she declared.
Meanwhile, the three unicorns entered the same land, only they were on a nearby mountain and Princess Platinum was excited to discover that there were all kinds of gems embedded in the side of the mountain.
"I've never seen such jewels!" she squealed, magically collecting a pile of gems. "This ruby is dazzling. This whole land is dazzling. I'm double dazzled!" She squealed again while Clover the Clever and Willow the Wise both smiled slightly. "In the name of the unicorns, I hereby dub this land Unicornia!" she declared, planting a purple flag in the ground.
At the base of the mountain, the two Earth ponies arrived, and Chancellor Puddinghead was overjoyed by their discovery.
"The air! The trees! The dirt! This dirt is the dirtiest dirt in the whole dirt world!" the Chancellor squealed.
"And fertile, too," Smart Cookie agreed, scooping up some of the dirt with her hoof. "Perfect for growing food."
Chancellor Puddinghead stood and shook off the dirt she'd been rolling in. "In the name of the Earth ponies, I think I'm gonna call this new place… uh… Dirtville," she declared.
"How about "Earth"?" Smart Cookie suggested.
"Earth!" the Chancellor repeated and stuck an orange flag in the dirt. "Congratulations to me for thinking of it."
"We found our new home!" the three leaders declared and froze, staring at each other in shock, and even their aides were surprised to see that they had all found the exact same land at the same time.
"I planted my flag first!" Commander Hurricane declared from the cloud, glaring at the unicorns and the Earth ponies.
"Did not!" Princess Platinum objected, glaring at the pegasus commander.
"Did too!" Commander Hurricane snapped.
Chancellor Puddinghead smirked at them both. "I planted mine earlier than first."
Princess Platinum glared at them. "All of you riffraff are trespassing in Unicornia!" she announced.
"The name is Pegasopolis!"
"Earth!"
"Pegasopolis!"
"Unicornia!"
Unaware that a certain cold wind was starting to pick up with snow beginning to fall, Commander Hurricane flew from the cloud to confront the unicorn Princess. "I say we fight for the land," she challenged. "May the best pony win!" And the wind blew harder.
"That's barbaric," Princess Platinum objected and magically positioned her two advisors, who had startled expressions on their faces, in front of her. "Clover the Clever? Willow the Wise? Throw that brute into the dungeon!" she ordered.
"What dungeon?" Clover the Clever asked, perplexed and her twin shrugged. "Look, perhaps if we all calmed down…"
"Please, let's calm down," Willow the Wise agreed.
Smart Cookie nodded. "I agree. Let's all calm down."
"I vote for calm," Private Pansy agreed.
Commander Hurricane glared at her. "I'll have you court-martialed for insubordination, Private!" she threatened. "We settle this on the battlefield!" she declared when whack! She got hit in the face with a snowball that nearly knocked her helmet off her head.
Princess Platinum laughed when whack! She too got hit in the face with a snowball, and Commander Hurricane laughed at her. "Who dares throw a snowball at royalty?!" she shrieked.
Chancellor Puddinghead, who'd been forming snowballs out of the snow, paused and looked around perplexed. "Wait a minute, where'd all this snow come from anyway?" she wondered, and to their horror, the blizzard had somehow followed them to their new home!
"Oh no," Commander Hurricane moaned. "Not again."
High above them, the wind kept blowing in clouds filled with snow, and the windigos were roaring triumphantly.
