Sorry I didn't post yesterday. My parents made me go to K-Mart to buy my brother some "BeyBlades" (Like I know what those even are. XP) But again- sorry!
"Hi Twilight!" Pinkie said into the banana. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm gonna be away for the week. Or maybe the next month."
"What's that supposed to mean?" the voice on the other line asked in confusion.
She giggled. "That means you shouldn't come looking for me and you should spread the word to everypony else. By-ye!"
"Wait, Pinkie-"
She had peeled the banana and taken a bite out of it before Twilight got anything else out. She looked up at Discord and smiled.
"Shall we get going?" he asked, snapping up the outfit of an usher and bowing down, reaching his lion paw out to her.
She laughed and grabbed his hand with both hooves. "I think we shall!" She let go and stood up, eating the rest of her fruit and tossing the peel behind her. "You know, we only spent one night in this castle, but I think I'm gonna miss it."
"Because of the chocolate Slip 'N Slide I put in the ball room?" he asked.
Her eyes widened. "You said nothing about that!"
He shrugged. "You're just going to have to live with the fact you didn't take the opportunity to use a Discord original."
She narrowed her eyes at him. "You're evil!"
"I'm not the evil one," he said, frowning. He lead her down the stairs, slowly changing the castle back the way her found it. "Babble is."
"Hmm... I guess you're right. You know, I think I could've been good friends with her if she never took over your body and turned you both to stone for a thousand years and wants to take me." Pinkie paused. "And after you get over the fact she can do that just because in the first place."
Discord chuckled. "I suppose..." He let his voice trail off as they both stepped outside, the castle showing no sign of being changed whatsoever. "Do you want to eat something before we leave?"
"Well, I would want some chocolate milk from that fountain, but someone took it away before I could even know about it!" She nudged him gently and scrunched up her nose.
He laughed and conjured up a glass of chocolate milk. He stopped walking and set it on the ground before Pinkie and placed a squiggly straw inside. "Just to make up for that."
She giggled and blew air into the straw, causing the brown liquid to overflow from the glass as bubbles. "Okay. I'm done now!"
Discord held in utterance and made the glass disappear. "Okay then! Let's keep moving."
"Okie dokie!" She smiled and continued hopping behind Discord to wherever it was they were going.
Five minutes later, a low growl made him stop, causing Pinkie to run into him. She stayed quiet, then jumped at the sound of a shrill laugh.
Discord's ear twitched as he listened for anything else, and held his arm out to prevent her from going any farther.
"So this is your little love bird?" a black alicorn asked, suddenly appearing behind Pinkie and eying them both.
He furrowed his brows and picked her up. "Who's asking?"
Pinkie frowned. "Yea! Who's a- Oh, hey!"
Babble chuckled. "And she isn't very clever either, is she?" She stepped in front of Discord and smirked.
He reluctantly set her down and stepped in front of Pinkie. "Much smarter than you."
She looked around Discord's body and studied Babble. "So-o... you're Babble?"
She rolled her eyes and grimaced. "No, I'm the Easter bunny here to give you Hearth's Warming gifts."
"Really? You don't look like a bunny!"
"Yes, Pinkie. She's Babble." Discord glared at her. "How do you keep finding us?"
She snickered. "The first place was- well, let's face it- obvious. And don't think I don't keep track of old friends."
"What do you mean keep track?" Pinkie asked suspiciously.
Babble tapped her head with her hoof. "Use your head. How do you think?"
Discord thought for a moment. "A tracking spell."
She nodded. "Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!"
"But what do you want to do with me? Why do you want me? Why are you so determined to ponynap me?" Pinkie took a step forward with every question she asked, but eventually Discord tugged at her tail gently to tell her to move back.
Babble thought for a moment, then smiled evilly. "Well, I could always use a new statue at home." She raised an eyebrow.
Pinkie turned white. "A- A statue?"
"Babble!" Discord cried, turning paler himself. "If you even try to do anything like that, then I ought to-"
"Of course, I always have room for two," Babble added. "That is, if you try to fight against my power. Even girls can be powerful, you know."
Pinkie backed away. "No!"
"You have a sick mind, Babble!" Discord shouted. "Why would you possibly want to do something so horrible to someone you don't know? You've been in that stone prison! Why would you do that to her?!"
"Like I always say, why not, right?" Babble smirked. "And I've also decided something- I'm giving you less time to make up your mind."
He glared at her. "Either way, the answer is no!"
"Then I ought to take her now, shouldn't I?" she yelled back. She sighed. "This is only because of that little outburst you had last night," she explained, pointing to the three red marks still visible on her face. "You have three more days. Use your time wisely."
"You're the one who'd use it dumbly," Pinkie spat back. She looked at the ground and dug into the soft soil. "I mean, probably use it dumbly."
She chuckled and turned back to Discord. "Three more days," she reminded him. "And don't try to hide. I will find you." She laughed one more time before disappearing into a cloud of black smoke.
Pinkie looked up at Discord with teary eyes. "Is she serious?"
He looked back down and frowned. "Most likely more serious than she's ever been in her life." He stared off to where Babble had disappeared at. "But I won't let her get what she wants. Not this time."
