Darien peered around the pink corner and down the marvelously cute hallway.
"Ack, Andrew, there's tons of them!"
"More ponies?" groaned Andrew. "What are we going to do? That stupid one back there named Chief is sure to wake up fairly soon... and then we'll have the whole lot of them on our case!"
"Andrew! Be quiet! They'll hear us!"
"Who's the one being noisy?" rasped Andrew bitterly.
A gruff pony voice came from the hallway. "Who's there?"
"Let's get out of here!"
The two scurried down the hallway until they found a door marked "Custodial" and ducked inside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What a pretty dress!" cried Mina, twirling for all to see.
"What do you think you are doing!" screamed Raye. "Do you even realize what's happening?!"
"Tee hee," giggled Mina, looking at herself in the mirror. She hadn't even listened to Raye.
Raye brought a shaking fist up and clenched her teeth. She brought a paper fan out of nowhere and slapped Mina with it. "IDIOT! We are CAPTIVES of the PONIES! We are serving as BRIDESMAIDS to SERENA who is getting MARRIED! We don't even belong here!"
"Don't I just look great in this dress?" asked Mina of Lita, who agreed profusely and modeled her own.
Rei turned red in the face. "Aren't any of you listening to a word I'm saying? Amy? Give me a bit of backup here!"
Amy was busily speaking with a pony in the corner.
"You really think this brings out the color in my eyes? I just love weddings!"
Rei sweatdropped, then disappeared from the room. Nobody noticed her abscence.
-_-; -_-; -_-; -_-; -_-; -_-; -_-;
"Hey Darien, look at this!"
Darien turned to find Andrew holding up a set of old brown sheets. "There's a bunch of stuff over here! Maybe we could make a disguise!"
Andrew disappeared into the back of the closet again.
^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~
"The Wedding March" began playing from a pink pipe organ. Serena was prodded along slowly by a short pony. Tears filled her eyes as she was made to stand next to Starlight, who had been freshly groomed. Another pony, complete with a minister cap tattooed on his right hip, officiated before the two of them.
"Do you, Starlight, long lost king of this land take this woman, Serena, as your wife?"
Starlight looked at Serena and blushed.
"I do."
Serena wailed.
"And do you, Serena, take Starlight as your husband?"
"NO! DARIEN! WHERE ARE YOU!?"
A hoof cupped itself around Serena's mouth.
The officiator cleared his throat. "And do you, Serena, take Starlight as your husband?"
Serena's eyes widened as she kicked and scrambled from the pony's grip, but to no avail. She finally gave up and just cried.
A voice from behind Serena whispered "I do" in a cute, girly accent.
Raye happened to be passing the room as the words were spoken.
The officiator continued. "Are there any here today that object to these two being married, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Silence, and then from the back of the room.
"I OBJECT! HOW COME SERENA ALWAYS GETS TO BE THE MAIN HEROINE?! I'M MUCH MORE PRETTY AND SMART THAN SHE IS!"
Everyone turned to see a raven-haired female standing at the entrance to the entirely too cute chapel. Raye sweatdropped.
"Oops..."
A brigade of ponies from the room stampeded after the screaming young girl.
@__@ @__@ @__@ @__@ @__@ @__@
The closet marked "custodial" opened slowly as an ugly brown pony exited.
"You idiot, keep up!" cried a voice from the head.
"Speak for yourself! Why do I have to be the butt?" asked a voice from the other.
"Shh! Somebody's coming! Just follow my lead!"
"But Darien..."
"Shhhhh!! Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"It sounds like a stampede and," Darien cocked his head to one side "Raye screaming?"
"Yeah, I hear it!" said Andrew, shifting from one foot to the other.
"Andrew! Stop squirming! We won't look like a real pony if you keep that up."
"Sorry..."
"Okay, now let's find everyone and get outta here," said Darien, placing his right root forward, "Andrew! You have to walk at the same times as me to get anywhere!"
"Right!" said Andrew, pulling his left foot back and placing his right forward.
The brown pony clumsely moved down the hallway as the stomping of hooves drew nearer and nearer...
*~*~*~*~*~*
The pink chapel was almost completely empty...except for Serena and Starlight, who in all the fuss, had been left standing alone at the alter.
"Sooo, Starlight. You know what? I think I'll just be leaving now..." laughed Serena nervously, edging away from Starlight.
"Oh no you don't!" he yelled, lassoing her and tossing her onto the decorative saddle on his back, "You said 'I do', so we're officially married!
"I NEVER said I would marry you!" screamed Serena, slapping Starlight fiercly on the back, "The pony behind me did! That WASN'T me!!"
"But...but..."
"Grrr, LET..ME...GOOOOO!!" wailed Serena, berating Starlight's head with her fists.
"Owww, stoooop, you're hurting me!" whinned Starlight, placing her on the ground, "It's not my fault, you don't ::sniff:: loooooove meeee!!" he cried, galloping out of the chapel, leaving Serena by herself.
"Oh dear!" exclaimed Serena, putting a hand over her mouth, "Poor Starlight."
It was then that she made the decision to follow him, but that decision changed the moment her eyes gazed upon to triple layer double chocolate wedding cake in the corner.
"Ohhh, WOW!!" she squealed, running towards the cake, "It's my wedding and this cake is mine! ALLLL mine!" she cackled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"AIIEEEEEE!! Someone HELP me!! I'm being chased by a wild band of ponies!!" yelled Raye, running down the pink hallways.
"STOP THAT GIRL!!" roared Fizzy, alomost catching up to Raye.
Raye ran faster, glancing over her shoulder every few seconds. Suddenly, she collided with the uglist pony Ponyland had ever seen. Screaming, she tripped over its back and fell flat on her face behind it. The pony fell over sideways and two pairs of sneaker-clad feet thrashed beneath it.
"Darien! We've been hit! Something hit us!" wailed Andrew, trying in vain to claw his way out their coutume.
"Oh man! We're going to be crushed by a million hoofs if you don't move towards the wall NOW!"
"But Dar, I'm STUCK!!"
"Andrew? Darien?" questioned Raye.
"Raye? Raye! HELP US, Raye!" wailed Andrew!
Raye grabbed the end of the cloth and pulled Andrew and Darien to safety just in the nick of time.
"Whew, we're ALIVE!!"
"Andrew, we've got a new problem now."
"Allright, wedding-crashers! Stop right there! I'm Heartthrob and all of you are going to pay for ruining my perfectly planned wedding!"
"But it wasn't your-"
"Silence human!" Andrew crawled back into the coustume and covered his ears.
"Now, I want you all to listen to me VERY carefully..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile in an evil castle on a black, black hill...
"That's IT! You girls get out there and DESTROY those little ponies! And don't bother coming back until you DO!!" screamed Hydia, throwing her two daughters out of their secret hideout in the mountain.
"Yes Mama! We're so sorry!" wailed Reeka.
"WHAT did you call me?" screamed Hydia, turning red in the face.
"Hydia, she MEANT to say Hydia!!" said Draggle, nervously tugging at a pigtail.
The door slammed in their face and the two sisters just stared.
"Sooo, what now, Draggle?"
"Hmmmm, let's get the little ponies! Then we can come back here and get something to eat!!" she exclaimed, joyfully.
"Do you only think of food?" questioned Reeka, wacking her sister in the arm, "We don't have a place to LIVE unless we get those ponies!!"
"Well...then let's get 'em!" grinned Draggled evilly.
And so their trek down to Ponyland began...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ohhh, Lita LOOK!" cried Mina, picking up a furry little critter and holding it close, "It's a Booshwoolie!!"
"Awww, how cute!!" exclaimed Lita, stars in her eyes.
"Bushwoolie!" proclaimed the little orange furball.
"Oh, you guys! Look at this one!" squealed Amy, holding up a blue bushwoolie.
"Hmmm, have you guys seem Raye?"asked Mina.
"I'll bet she went to the wedding without us!" yelled Lita.
"NO, she wouldn't!"
"Oh yes, Amy, she WOULD!" agreed Mina, setting her bushwoolie down, "We have to find her!"
"Let's go then," said Lita, 'Those guard ponies mysteriously disappeared."
Walking out into the hallway, the girls began searching for Raye and the rest...
"LOOK! There's a really big group of people down there!" said Amy, pointing down the hall.
"EEP!! Those are Andrew tennis shoes! See? Out from under that big piece of brown cloth!!"
"They ARE his shoes!" excalimed Lita.
"Andrew? ANDREW, I'm coming!" yelled Mina, running down the hallway towards them.
All heads turned, pony and human alike, to face the near rabid blonde that was quickly approaching.
"Someone stop her!" a voice cried.
"No, no, pony! You stop!" came a voice from the other end of the hallway. All activity stopped as Draggle and Reeka stepped toward then ponies.
"AHH! It's the witches!" wailed several ponies.
"The witches?" aksed Mina.
"Yes, THE witches!" sneered Draggle, "All of you prepare to be exterminated, like the pests you are."
The ponies stared.
Darien and Andrew got out from under the cloth.
Andrew grinned and Mina smiled back.
Draggle grinned and wacked her sister in side "Hey, Reeka, that was pretty good, huh? Exterminate them like the pests they are, Ahahahaha!"
"Draggle?"
"What?"
"The just do it! I'm sick of standing here! My feet hurt!"
Oh, fine." she said, pulling out a filthy magic wand and waving it over her head madly, "Ponies, ponies, go AwwaAAAAY, come again another daAAAAYyy!!!"
And nothing happened.
"Erm, Reeka?"
"Yes, Draggle?"
"Why didn't that work?"
"I dunno..."
Everyone seemed a bit dazed and confused, until Andrew got a bright idea.
"Hey, you guys! Why don't we just use the remote to get out of here?"
"Oh, Andrew! You are SO smart!" cried Mina, wrapping her arms around Andrew, who only grinned.
"That IS a good idea!" nodded Amy, "So who has it?"
"I don't have it!" said Raye.
"Well, I don't have it either!" yelled Darien.
"No one has the remote..." murmured Amy, "Hmmmmmm.."
"Hey! We're not done with you yet!" screamed Buttons, "We were only interrupted for a second!"
"Uhhhh-ohhhhhh.." said Andrew, paling.
"Oh yes you are! Little ponies, you've had enough fun for today!" yelled a voice from the pink rafters.
All heads lifted to see the shadowy figure of a girl, who stepped forward into the light.
Andrew and Darien squirmed and stumbled backwards...
"Oh NO! It's HER!!" screamed Mina, racing forwards to stand directly beneath the girl.
"I'm baaaaackkk! Hello boys!"
"It's psycho girl!" said Lita and Ami in unision.
"Well, I suggest you quite calling me that. The name's Miriamele and I have this!" she said, pulling the remote out of her pocket for all to see.
"Ohmygosh! She has the remote! We've got to stop her!" cried Raye.
"Nope, it's too late for that! I think it's time for a little reunion," cackled Miri, pushing a button on the remote. Instantaneously Serena appeared out of nowhere and was seated on the floor, covered in chocolate cake. Startled, she looked up at the crowd surrounding her.
"Ummm, what just happened?"
The groups gasped again as Miri pushed another button. Starlight and another little pony materialized in front of everyone. Buttons backed away in horror.
"Apple Jacks! How could you? Prince Starlight has to marry her!" she yelled, pointing to Serena, who was still busily devouring cake.
"But Buttons, I LOOOOVE him!" she cried, moving closer to Starlight.
"Hmmm, is that EVERYONE?" questioned Miri, eyebrow raised.
"You forgot the bushwoolies!" said Amy, helpfully.
"Amy! Don't TELL her that!"
"Oh...sorry."
"Oh, I DID forget them! Thanks, Amy!" said Miri, reaching for another button on the remote. A huge groups of furry creatures dropped from the sky, all babbling in "bushwoolie."
"Okay, so why are you gathering us together?" asked Mina, moving closer to Andrew.
"So I could do this." said Miri, pushing yet another button on the remote. Suddenly, the Sailor Moon occupants of the room disappeared.
The ponies stood for a moment staring at their newfound invader. "I will now be queen of Pony Land too! Mwahahaha!"
Draggle and Reeka sweatdropped and began backing slowly for the door. Miri looked over at them. "Not so fast! Stand right there!" She waggled a finger at them. "I didn't say 'Simon says.'"
The two witches stopped dead in their tracks. "But we weren't going to go anywhere..."
"What-ever. I want the two of you to run back to your mother and tell her to move her castle off MY property before I come out there and MAKE HER!"
Draggle looked at Reeka. "I'm hungry, let's go home and get something to eat."
Reeka frowned. "Mama's gonna be mad."
The two girls turned around and began walking from the room.
"Ah-ah-ah!" proclaimed Miri. "I didn't say 'Simon says.'"
Draggle and Reeka quivered in fear at the voice and clutched each other in horror.
"Alright, SIMON SAYS go tell your mother," giggled Miri.
The two witches blinked and looked at each other.
"NOW!" screamed Miri.
The doors hadn't even shut completely before the sisters were halfway home.
Miri turned to the ponies with a grin across her face. "Now that I am supreme ruler of Pony Land, I demand you all call me 'Rainbow Brite!'"
===============================
Darien landed on something small and furry.
"GAHH!!!" he screamed, jumping to his feet. A bushwoolie cowered beneath him.
"There's hundreds of them here," said Amy in amazement.
"Is everyone here?" called Mina from the corner.
Everyone called their replies. Everyone, that is, but Lita.
Lita opened her eyes and found herself staring directly into another pair of green eyes. Her lips had fallen over somebody else's. She blushed furiously and jumped up.
"Well hey there Beautiful, how are you doing this morning?"
"TLP?! What are you doing here?!"
TLP stood and stretched. "Miri has this odd idea that she is going to rule all of these old television cartoons. I told her she shouldn't get herself so involved, so she zapped me here with the remote."
"Where exactly is here?" asked Andrew nervously.
"The ponies refer to this as the graveyard of the Bushwoolies. When a bushwoolie grows too old or in some other way becomes less useful, the ponies dispose of them here." Several of the Bushwoolies moved toward TLP, who patted them each on the head.
"Poor things," said Mina, picking one of the furry creatures up.
"Bushwoolie!" it exclaimed.
Serena glanced up from stuffing her face with the cake she had left over in her hands. She licked the frosting from her fingers.
"So what are we going to do about this?"
TLP sat back and sighed. "I'd say resign ourselves to a fate of living with the bushwoolies and eating the scraps of food they throw down to us." He paused for a minute and looked at Lita. "But now that there's a beautiful girl here to spend the time with, I'm sure I won't mind."
"No thanks, I don't date outside my own species."
"Ouch, that hurt," replied TLP rubbing his jaw.
Darien walked around the perimeter of the room knocking on the wall. "How does one go about getting out of this place? We have to get that remote back and get back home!"
TLP sighed and sat back. "When they want to give us food, they slide it in from a hole in the ceiling, which stays closed normally. You'll see, it should be time to eat in a minute here..."
Right on cue, light poured into the room from a small hole in the ceiling. Food scraps flew down the hole, falling directly on top of Raye.
"Miri really doesn't like you does she?" asked TLP.
Raye screamed in fury and scampered halfway up the wall before the laws of gravity kicked in and she found herself lying in a heap on the floor. She wailed in frustration.
Andrew and Darien sat down. Everyone else followed suit, forming a circle in the center of the room. TLP sat in his corner and continued sleeping.
"We have to get that remote control back," said a very determined Darien.
"But first we need to get out of here," said Raye.
"Which," added Mina. "We have already discovered that climbing the wall is impossible."
Raye shot Mina a dirty look, but Mina simply ignored her.
"So the question at hand is how to get out of here," threw in Andrew.
Everyone nodded and fell into a thoughtful silence.
Amy stood, fed up with the whole thing, and walked over to stand in front of the sleeping TLP. "WAKE UP YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING FANFIC WRITER!"
TLP blinked wearily. "Eh?"
"YOU HEARD ME! HELP US GET OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE STILL IN CHARGE OF THIS STORY!"
"You know what, ask someone who cares," muttered TLP, falling back asleep.
Amy stomped back to the circle and sat in a huff. Andrew chuckled lightly, but was abruptly stopped as a glare from Amy's direction cut him off.
Serena smiled slyly. "I know how we could get his help..."
Everyone blinked and looked at Serena.
Serena smiled and looked at everyone in turn.
Raye egged her on.
Serena blinked. "Oh yeah. We could... whisper whisper..."
Everyone nodded and looked up at the sleeping fanfiction writer in the corner, evil grins spread across their faces.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"MAMA!" shouted Reeka at the doorway to the hideously evil black castle.
No reply.
"Maybe she's not home?" asked Reeka.
"You idiot! It's not 'mama.' It's 'Hydia!'" explained Draggle.
"Oh yeah... HYDIA!" shouted Reeka.
"What do you two want?!" came the immediate reply. "Have you captured those ponies yet?"
"No Ma-- Hydia. This crazy psycho girl named Miriamele told us that we had to move! She was mean!"
Reeka started to cry.
Draggle's stomach rumbled. "I'm hungry..."
Hydia cursed a mean, nasty, black, evil curse in her frustration and stormed out of the castle, grabbing her two daughters and hauling them with her towards Pony Land.
=) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =)
"Oh, TLP? I've changed my mind about you..." called Lita *very* seductively as she crawled towards him.
TLP woke with a start and gulped at the sight of Lita coming closer to him.
"ACK! You've entered my personal space bubble!"
"What's wrong? I thought you liked me..." said Lita, sliding her tongue enticingly across her teeth.
TLP gulped. His voice cracked. "Wha-wha-wha..." He pulled himself into the corner and began crying.
Lita frowned. "Perhaps that was too forward?"
Everyone sweatdropped.
Lita crawled over and sat next to TLP, who scooted an inch or two away. She put a hand on his shoulder and he shook it off.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... uh..."
TLP looked up at her and sniffled. Then he smiled. "It's alright Beautiful, I understand. We shouldn't resign ourselves to a fate down here, ne?"
Standing, TLP spread out his arms and called out to the Bushwoolies in the room. "My fellow Bushwoolies! I stand before you today as one who has also been wronged at the hands of the Ponies! We must fight for our lives, our families, and our FREEDOM!"
The Bushwoolies stared blankly at their would-be martyr.
TLP blinked, then pulled out a small notepad from his pocket and wrote a few words.
A cheerful blonde appeared from nowhere and stroke a pose. "Ropa-ropa-revolution!" she called in a dialect that just screamed "valley-girl."
The Bushwoolies followed suit and struck the same pose. "Ropa-ropa-revolution!"
TLP continued. "Now Bushwoolies! Let us rise up and cast from us the chains of our oppressors!"
A tremendous cheer came from the Bushwoolies, who quickly piled on top of one another, forming a bushy ladder for everyone to climb out.
Darien and the others rushed up the ladder and waited for the hole to open, allowing them to escape.
TLP patted Ropa on the shoulder. "Thanks Beautiful, as usual your hyper attitude seemed to save the day." She smiled and disappeared in a poof of smoke. He scampered up the ladder behind everyone else.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Feeding time again?" asked a Pony.
"Yes, we may have our dirty little secrets in this world, but at least we need to keep them fed, don't you think?"
The other Pony groaned and walked over to the trap door in the floor. He pulled it open. Suddenly, the two guard ponies were onset by a horde of upset people. Darien grabbed one pony, while Andrew grabbed the other. As TLP and Lita helped the remaining Bushwoolies out of the hole, the guards were bound and gagged. Finally, everyone had crowded into the room.
"Alright everyone! Let's take back the Pony Castle!" shouted Darien as he threw open the door.
Thousands of Bushwoolies threw themselves into the corridors of the pony castle. The Bushwoolie revolution had come!
!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!
Hydia strode to the front of the Pony gate and yelled for the ponies to let her in.
"Not by the hairs of our Chinny-chin-chins!"
"What is that supposed to mean?!" shrieked Hydia.
The ponies stuck out their tongues and pulled down their lower eyelids. "Behhhh!"
Hydia was furious! "Why you little..."
Suddenly Miri stepped out and looked over the wall at the visitors.
Without warning, the gates to the pink mansion dropped with a clatter, as a herd of ponies scrambled from within. Grabbing a running pony, Miri forced it to speak.
"What's going on here?"
"It's... it's... the BUSHWOOLIES! They're taking over!" it wailed, dashing off into the sunset.
"They're WHAT?" screamed, Miri, turing back to the mansion.
"Not so fast, Maryhaymill!" yelled, Hydia, who had walked in through the open gates.
"What did you call me? Gosh, why can't anyone get my name RIGHT for once? It's MiriaMELE! M-i-r-i-a-m-e-l-e!! And now that I am queen, you are OBLIGATED to get it right!" she roared, waving the remote back and forth over her head.
"You? A queen? No, no, no, I am queen of Ponyland now! Submit your powers NOW!!" cackled Hydia.
"Never, you dried up, bitter old hag!! Queens should be cute, lovely, and graceful. Someone like... ME!!" Miri grinned, twirling around in a cute circle.
"That's IT, you're none of those things, Miss 'I think I'm so adorable'!!" yelled Hydia, pointing a shaky finger at Miri.
"I don't think I'm adorable," said Miri innocently, "I KNOW I am! Now get out of my mansion!!!"
"Fine! You asked for it, queenie!" Hydia pulled out a magic wand and muttered some odd phrase to herself and then flung a mass of energy at Miri. Cackling, Miri pulled out the remote and pushed pause. The mass froze in midair!
"Drat, you evil queen, there must be someway to stop you." muttured, Hydia pacing back and forth. Without warning, the mass of energy started moving again, straight towards Miri.
"AIIEEEE!" she cried, ducking just in time for the energy to hit the wall behind her, "Who did that? I'm the only one with the remote!"
"Not anymore, Miri. Put your remote down."
"TLP?" gasped Miri, jaw dropping, "But I put you in jail..."
Thousands of bushwoolies stood proudly behind TLP, ready for battle.
"Yes, you put me in jail! And these fine fellows helped me escape!" he said, shaking the head bushwollie's paw, "I owe them my life! But while in jail, I managed to reconstuct an exact copy of the remote! MWhahahah!!"
"Well, there's only one thing to do now, TLP, now that you've, ruined my kingdom!"
TLP's eyebow raised. "Oh? And what's that? There's nothing you can do now!" he cackled.
"Ahehe, Miri? TLP? Why don't you just give the remote to one of us.." suggested Amy.
"NEVER! There's only one thing to do!" smirked Miri.
"You already said that, now get on with it!" muttered Mina.
"I heard that! Say bye bye to Ponyland!"
Miri pushed a button and the channel changed.
Everyone fell from the pink world and swirled through static until they landed on something soft, white, and fluffy.
"A cloud?" asked Darien hesitantly.
Several bears peered out from a variety of rainbow-colored houses at their mysterious guests.
Darien groaned and lost conciousness.

Darien peered around the pink corner and down the marvelously cute hallway.
"Ack, Andrew, there's tons of them!"
"More ponies?" groaned Andrew. "What are we going to do? That stupid one back there named Chief is sure to wake up fairly soon... and then we'll have the whole lot of them on our case!"
"Andrew! Be quiet! They'll hear us!"
"Who's the one being noisy?" rasped Andrew bitterly.
A gruff pony voice came from the hallway. "Who's there?"
"Let's get out of here!"
The two scurried down the hallway until they found a door marked "Custodial" and ducked inside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What a pretty dress!" cried Mina, twirling for all to see.
"What do you think you are doing!" screamed Raye. "Do you even realize what's happening?!"
"Tee hee," giggled Mina, looking at herself in the mirror. She hadn't even listened to Raye.
Raye brought a shaking fist up and clenched her teeth. She brought a paper fan out of nowhere and slapped Mina with it. "IDIOT! We are CAPTIVES of the PONIES! We are serving as BRIDESMAIDS to SERENA who is getting MARRIED! We don't even belong here!"
"Don't I just look great in this dress?" asked Mina of Lita, who agreed profusely and modeled her own.
Rei turned red in the face. "Aren't any of you listening to a word I'm saying? Amy? Give me a bit of backup here!"
Amy was busily speaking with a pony in the corner.
"You really think this brings out the color in my eyes? I just love weddings!"
Rei sweatdropped, then disappeared from the room. Nobody noticed her abscence.
-_-; -_-; -_-; -_-; -_-; -_-; -_-;
"Hey Darien, look at this!"
Darien turned to find Andrew holding up a set of old brown sheets. "There's a bunch of stuff over here! Maybe we could make a disguise!"
Andrew disappeared into the back of the closet again.
^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~
"The Wedding March" began playing from a pink pipe organ. Serena was prodded along slowly by a short pony. Tears filled her eyes as she was made to stand next to Starlight, who had been freshly groomed. Another pony, complete with a minister cap tattooed on his right hip, officiated before the two of them.
"Do you, Starlight, long lost king of this land take this woman, Serena, as your wife?"
Starlight looked at Serena and blushed.
"I do."
Serena wailed.
"And do you, Serena, take Starlight as your husband?"
"NO! DARIEN! WHERE ARE YOU!?"
A hoof cupped itself around Serena's mouth.
The officiator cleared his throat. "And do you, Serena, take Starlight as your husband?"
Serena's eyes widened as she kicked and scrambled from the pony's grip, but to no avail. She finally gave up and just cried.
A voice from behind Serena whispered "I do" in a cute, girly accent.
Raye happened to be passing the room as the words were spoken.
The officiator continued. "Are there any here today that object to these two being married, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Silence, and then from the back of the room.
"I OBJECT! HOW COME SERENA ALWAYS GETS TO BE THE MAIN HEROINE?! I'M MUCH MORE PRETTY AND SMART THAN SHE IS!"
Everyone turned to see a raven-haired female standing at the entrance to the entirely too cute chapel. Raye sweatdropped.
"Oops..."
A brigade of ponies from the room stampeded after the screaming young girl.
@__@ @__@ @__@ @__@ @__@ @__@
The closet marked "custodial" opened slowly as an ugly brown pony exited.
"You idiot, keep up!" cried a voice from the head.
"Speak for yourself! Why do I have to be the butt?" asked a voice from the other.
"Shh! Somebody's coming! Just follow my lead!"
"But Darien..."
"Shhhhh!! Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"It sounds like a stampede and," Darien cocked his head to one side "Raye screaming?"
"Yeah, I hear it!" said Andrew, shifting from one foot to the other.
"Andrew! Stop squirming! We won't look like a real pony if you keep that up."
"Sorry..."
"Okay, now let's find everyone and get outta here," said Darien, placing his right root forward, "Andrew! You have to walk at the same times as me to get anywhere!"
"Right!" said Andrew, pulling his left foot back and placing his right forward.
The brown pony clumsely moved down the hallway as the stomping of hooves drew nearer and nearer...
*~*~*~*~*~*
The pink chapel was almost completely empty...except for Serena and Starlight, who in all the fuss, had been left standing alone at the alter.
"Sooo, Starlight. You know what? I think I'll just be leaving now..." laughed Serena nervously, edging away from Starlight.
"Oh no you don't!" he yelled, lassoing her and tossing her onto the decorative saddle on his back, "You said 'I do', so we're officially married!
"I NEVER said I would marry you!" screamed Serena, slapping Starlight fiercly on the back, "The pony behind me did! That WASN'T me!!"
"But...but..."
"Grrr, LET..ME...GOOOOO!!" wailed Serena, berating Starlight's head with her fists.
"Owww, stoooop, you're hurting me!" whinned Starlight, placing her on the ground, "It's not my fault, you don't ::sniff:: loooooove meeee!!" he cried, galloping out of the chapel, leaving Serena by herself.
"Oh dear!" exclaimed Serena, putting a hand over her mouth, "Poor Starlight."
It was then that she made the decision to follow him, but that decision changed the moment her eyes gazed upon to triple layer double chocolate wedding cake in the corner.
"Ohhh, WOW!!" she squealed, running towards the cake, "It's my wedding and this cake is mine! ALLLL mine!" she cackled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"AIIEEEEEE!! Someone HELP me!! I'm being chased by a wild band of ponies!!" yelled Raye, running down the pink hallways.
"STOP THAT GIRL!!" roared Fizzy, alomost catching up to Raye.
Raye ran faster, glancing over her shoulder every few seconds. Suddenly, she collided with the uglist pony Ponyland had ever seen. Screaming, she tripped over its back and fell flat on her face behind it. The pony fell over sideways and two pairs of sneaker-clad feet thrashed beneath it.
"Darien! We've been hit! Something hit us!" wailed Andrew, trying in vain to claw his way out their coutume.
"Oh man! We're going to be crushed by a million hoofs if you don't move towards the wall NOW!"
"But Dar, I'm STUCK!!"
"Andrew? Darien?" questioned Raye.
"Raye? Raye! HELP US, Raye!" wailed Andrew!
Raye grabbed the end of the cloth and pulled Andrew and Darien to safety just in the nick of time.
"Whew, we're ALIVE!!"
"Andrew, we've got a new problem now."
"Allright, wedding-crashers! Stop right there! I'm Heartthrob and all of you are going to pay for ruining my perfectly planned wedding!"
"But it wasn't your-"
"Silence human!" Andrew crawled back into the coustume and covered his ears.
"Now, I want you all to listen to me VERY carefully..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile in an evil castle on a black, black hill...
"That's IT! You girls get out there and DESTROY those little ponies! And don't bother coming back until you DO!!" screamed Hydia, throwing her two daughters out of their secret hideout in the mountain.
"Yes Mama! We're so sorry!" wailed Reeka.
"WHAT did you call me?" screamed Hydia, turning red in the face.
"Hydia, she MEANT to say Hydia!!" said Draggle, nervously tugging at a pigtail.
The door slammed in their face and the two sisters just stared.
"Sooo, what now, Draggle?"
"Hmmmm, let's get the little ponies! Then we can come back here and get something to eat!!" she exclaimed, joyfully.
"Do you only think of food?" questioned Reeka, wacking her sister in the arm, "We don't have a place to LIVE unless we get those ponies!!"
"Well...then let's get 'em!" grinned Draggled evilly.
And so their trek down to Ponyland began...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ohhh, Lita LOOK!" cried Mina, picking up a furry little critter and holding it close, "It's a Booshwoolie!!"
"Awww, how cute!!" exclaimed Lita, stars in her eyes.
"Bushwoolie!" proclaimed the little orange furball.
"Oh, you guys! Look at this one!" squealed Amy, holding up a blue bushwoolie.
"Hmmm, have you guys seem Raye?"asked Mina.
"I'll bet she went to the wedding without us!" yelled Lita.
"NO, she wouldn't!"
"Oh yes, Amy, she WOULD!" agreed Mina, setting her bushwoolie down, "We have to find her!"
"Let's go then," said Lita, 'Those guard ponies mysteriously disappeared."
Walking out into the hallway, the girls began searching for Raye and the rest...
"LOOK! There's a really big group of people down there!" said Amy, pointing down the hall.
"EEP!! Those are Andrew tennis shoes! See? Out from under that big piece of brown cloth!!"
"They ARE his shoes!" excalimed Lita.
"Andrew? ANDREW, I'm coming!" yelled Mina, running down the hallway towards them.
All heads turned, pony and human alike, to face the near rabid blonde that was quickly approaching.
"Someone stop her!" a voice cried.
"No, no, pony! You stop!" came a voice from the other end of the hallway. All activity stopped as Draggle and Reeka stepped toward then ponies.
"AHH! It's the witches!" wailed several ponies.
"The witches?" aksed Mina.
"Yes, THE witches!" sneered Draggle, "All of you prepare to be exterminated, like the pests you are."
The ponies stared.
Darien and Andrew got out from under the cloth.
Andrew grinned and Mina smiled back.
Draggle grinned and wacked her sister in side "Hey, Reeka, that was pretty good, huh? Exterminate them like the pests they are, Ahahahaha!"
"Draggle?"
"What?"
"The just do it! I'm sick of standing here! My feet hurt!"
Oh, fine." she said, pulling out a filthy magic wand and waving it over her head madly, "Ponies, ponies, go AwwaAAAAY, come again another daAAAAYyy!!!"
And nothing happened.
"Erm, Reeka?"
"Yes, Draggle?"
"Why didn't that work?"
"I dunno..."
Everyone seemed a bit dazed and confused, until Andrew got a bright idea.
"Hey, you guys! Why don't we just use the remote to get out of here?"
"Oh, Andrew! You are SO smart!" cried Mina, wrapping her arms around Andrew, who only grinned.
"That IS a good idea!" nodded Amy, "So who has it?"
"I don't have it!" said Raye.
"Well, I don't have it either!" yelled Darien.
"No one has the remote..." murmured Amy, "Hmmmmmm.."
"Hey! We're not done with you yet!" screamed Buttons, "We were only interrupted for a second!"
"Uhhhh-ohhhhhh.." said Andrew, paling.
"Oh yes you are! Little ponies, you've had enough fun for today!" yelled a voice from the pink rafters.
All heads lifted to see the shadowy figure of a girl, who stepped forward into the light.
Andrew and Darien squirmed and stumbled backwards...
"Oh NO! It's HER!!" screamed Mina, racing forwards to stand directly beneath the girl.
"I'm baaaaackkk! Hello boys!"
"It's psycho girl!" said Lita and Ami in unision.
"Well, I suggest you quite calling me that. The name's Miriamele and I have this!" she said, pulling the remote out of her pocket for all to see.
"Ohmygosh! She has the remote! We've got to stop her!" cried Raye.
"Nope, it's too late for that! I think it's time for a little reunion," cackled Miri, pushing a button on the remote. Instantaneously Serena appeared out of nowhere and was seated on the floor, covered in chocolate cake. Startled, she looked up at the crowd surrounding her.
"Ummm, what just happened?"
The groups gasped again as Miri pushed another button. Starlight and another little pony materialized in front of everyone. Buttons backed away in horror.
"Apple Jacks! How could you? Prince Starlight has to marry her!" she yelled, pointing to Serena, who was still busily devouring cake.
"But Buttons, I LOOOOVE him!" she cried, moving closer to Starlight.
"Hmmm, is that EVERYONE?" questioned Miri, eyebrow raised.
"You forgot the bushwoolies!" said Amy, helpfully.
"Amy! Don't TELL her that!"
"Oh...sorry."
"Oh, I DID forget them! Thanks, Amy!" said Miri, reaching for another button on the remote. A huge groups of furry creatures dropped from the sky, all babbling in "bushwoolie."
"Okay, so why are you gathering us together?" asked Mina, moving closer to Andrew.
"So I could do this." said Miri, pushing yet another button on the remote. Suddenly, the Sailor Moon occupants of the room disappeared.
The ponies stood for a moment staring at their newfound invader. "I will now be queen of Pony Land too! Mwahahaha!"
Draggle and Reeka sweatdropped and began backing slowly for the door. Miri looked over at them. "Not so fast! Stand right there!" She waggled a finger at them. "I didn't say 'Simon says.'"
The two witches stopped dead in their tracks. "But we weren't going to go anywhere..."
"What-ever. I want the two of you to run back to your mother and tell her to move her castle off MY property before I come out there and MAKE HER!"
Draggle looked at Reeka. "I'm hungry, let's go home and get something to eat."
Reeka frowned. "Mama's gonna be mad."
The two girls turned around and began walking from the room.
"Ah-ah-ah!" proclaimed Miri. "I didn't say 'Simon says.'"
Draggle and Reeka quivered in fear at the voice and clutched each other in horror.
"Alright, SIMON SAYS go tell your mother," giggled Miri.
The two witches blinked and looked at each other.
"NOW!" screamed Miri.
The doors hadn't even shut completely before the sisters were halfway home.
Miri turned to the ponies with a grin across her face. "Now that I am supreme ruler of Pony Land, I demand you all call me 'Rainbow Brite!'"
===============================
Darien landed on something small and furry.
"GAHH!!!" he screamed, jumping to his feet. A bushwoolie cowered beneath him.
"There's hundreds of them here," said Amy in amazement.
"Is everyone here?" called Mina from the corner.
Everyone called their replies. Everyone, that is, but Lita.
Lita opened her eyes and found herself staring directly into another pair of green eyes. Her lips had fallen over somebody else's. She blushed furiously and jumped up.
"Well hey there Beautiful, how are you doing this morning?"
"TLP?! What are you doing here?!"
TLP stood and stretched. "Miri has this odd idea that she is going to rule all of these old television cartoons. I told her she shouldn't get herself so involved, so she zapped me here with the remote."
"Where exactly is here?" asked Andrew nervously.
"The ponies refer to this as the graveyard of the Bushwoolies. When a bushwoolie grows too old or in some other way becomes less useful, the ponies dispose of them here." Several of the Bushwoolies moved toward TLP, who patted them each on the head.
"Poor things," said Mina, picking one of the furry creatures up.
"Bushwoolie!" it exclaimed.
Serena glanced up from stuffing her face with the cake she had left over in her hands. She licked the frosting from her fingers.
"So what are we going to do about this?"
TLP sat back and sighed. "I'd say resign ourselves to a fate of living with the bushwoolies and eating the scraps of food they throw down to us." He paused for a minute and looked at Lita. "But now that there's a beautiful girl here to spend the time with, I'm sure I won't mind."
"No thanks, I don't date outside my own species."
"Ouch, that hurt," replied TLP rubbing his jaw.
Darien walked around the perimeter of the room knocking on the wall. "How does one go about getting out of this place? We have to get that remote back and get back home!"
TLP sighed and sat back. "When they want to give us food, they slide it in from a hole in the ceiling, which stays closed normally. You'll see, it should be time to eat in a minute here..."
Right on cue, light poured into the room from a small hole in the ceiling. Food scraps flew down the hole, falling directly on top of Raye.
"Miri really doesn't like you does she?" asked TLP.
Raye screamed in fury and scampered halfway up the wall before the laws of gravity kicked in and she found herself lying in a heap on the floor. She wailed in frustration.
Andrew and Darien sat down. Everyone else followed suit, forming a circle in the center of the room. TLP sat in his corner and continued sleeping.
"We have to get that remote control back," said a very determined Darien.
"But first we need to get out of here," said Raye.
"Which," added Mina. "We have already discovered that climbing the wall is impossible."
Raye shot Mina a dirty look, but Mina simply ignored her.
"So the question at hand is how to get out of here," threw in Andrew.
Everyone nodded and fell into a thoughtful silence.
Amy stood, fed up with the whole thing, and walked over to stand in front of the sleeping TLP. "WAKE UP YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING FANFIC WRITER!"
TLP blinked wearily. "Eh?"
"YOU HEARD ME! HELP US GET OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE STILL IN CHARGE OF THIS STORY!"
"You know what, ask someone who cares," muttered TLP, falling back asleep.
Amy stomped back to the circle and sat in a huff. Andrew chuckled lightly, but was abruptly stopped as a glare from Amy's direction cut him off.
Serena smiled slyly. "I know how we could get his help..."
Everyone blinked and looked at Serena.
Serena smiled and looked at everyone in turn.
Raye egged her on.
Serena blinked. "Oh yeah. We could... whisper whisper..."
Everyone nodded and looked up at the sleeping fanfiction writer in the corner, evil grins spread across their faces.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"MAMA!" shouted Reeka at the doorway to the hideously evil black castle.
No reply.
"Maybe she's not home?" asked Reeka.
"You idiot! It's not 'mama.' It's 'Hydia!'" explained Draggle.
"Oh yeah... HYDIA!" shouted Reeka.
"What do you two want?!" came the immediate reply. "Have you captured those ponies yet?"
"No Ma-- Hydia. This crazy psycho girl named Miriamele told us that we had to move! She was mean!"
Reeka started to cry.
Draggle's stomach rumbled. "I'm hungry..."
Hydia cursed a mean, nasty, black, evil curse in her frustration and stormed out of the castle, grabbing her two daughters and hauling them with her towards Pony Land.
=) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =)
"Oh, TLP? I've changed my mind about you..." called Lita *very* seductively as she crawled towards him.
TLP woke with a start and gulped at the sight of Lita coming closer to him.
"ACK! You've entered my personal space bubble!"
"What's wrong? I thought you liked me..." said Lita, sliding her tongue enticingly across her teeth.
TLP gulped. His voice cracked. "Wha-wha-wha..." He pulled himself into the corner and began crying.
Lita frowned. "Perhaps that was too forward?"
Everyone sweatdropped.
Lita crawled over and sat next to TLP, who scooted an inch or two away. She put a hand on his shoulder and he shook it off.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... uh..."
TLP looked up at her and sniffled. Then he smiled. "It's alright Beautiful, I understand. We shouldn't resign ourselves to a fate down here, ne?"
Standing, TLP spread out his arms and called out to the Bushwoolies in the room. "My fellow Bushwoolies! I stand before you today as one who has also been wronged at the hands of the Ponies! We must fight for our lives, our families, and our FREEDOM!"
The Bushwoolies stared blankly at their would-be martyr.
TLP blinked, then pulled out a small notepad from his pocket and wrote a few words.
A cheerful blonde appeared from nowhere and stroke a pose. "Ropa-ropa-revolution!" she called in a dialect that just screamed "valley-girl."
The Bushwoolies followed suit and struck the same pose. "Ropa-ropa-revolution!"
TLP continued. "Now Bushwoolies! Let us rise up and cast from us the chains of our oppressors!"
A tremendous cheer came from the Bushwoolies, who quickly piled on top of one another, forming a bushy ladder for everyone to climb out.
Darien and the others rushed up the ladder and waited for the hole to open, allowing them to escape.
TLP patted Ropa on the shoulder. "Thanks Beautiful, as usual your hyper attitude seemed to save the day." She smiled and disappeared in a poof of smoke. He scampered up the ladder behind everyone else.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Feeding time again?" asked a Pony.
"Yes, we may have our dirty little secrets in this world, but at least we need to keep them fed, don't you think?"
The other Pony groaned and walked over to the trap door in the floor. He pulled it open. Suddenly, the two guard ponies were onset by a horde of upset people. Darien grabbed one pony, while Andrew grabbed the other. As TLP and Lita helped the remaining Bushwoolies out of the hole, the guards were bound and gagged. Finally, everyone had crowded into the room.
"Alright everyone! Let's take back the Pony Castle!" shouted Darien as he threw open the door.
Thousands of Bushwoolies threw themselves into the corridors of the pony castle. The Bushwoolie revolution had come!
!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!
Hydia strode to the front of the Pony gate and yelled for the ponies to let her in.
"Not by the hairs of our Chinny-chin-chins!"
"What is that supposed to mean?!" shrieked Hydia.
The ponies stuck out their tongues and pulled down their lower eyelids. "Behhhh!"
Hydia was furious! "Why you little..."
Suddenly Miri stepped out and looked over the wall at the visitors.
Without warning, the gates to the pink mansion dropped with a clatter, as a herd of ponies scrambled from within. Grabbing a running pony, Miri forced it to speak.
"What's going on here?"
"It's... it's... the BUSHWOOLIES! They're taking over!" it wailed, dashing off into the sunset.
"They're WHAT?" screamed, Miri, turing back to the mansion.
"Not so fast, Maryhaymill!" yelled, Hydia, who had walked in through the open gates.
"What did you call me? Gosh, why can't anyone get my name RIGHT for once? It's MiriaMELE! M-i-r-i-a-m-e-l-e!! And now that I am queen, you are OBLIGATED to get it right!" she roared, waving the remote back and forth over her head.
"You? A queen? No, no, no, I am queen of Ponyland now! Submit your powers NOW!!" cackled Hydia.
"Never, you dried up, bitter old hag!! Queens should be cute, lovely, and graceful. Someone like... ME!!" Miri grinned, twirling around in a cute circle.
"That's IT, you're none of those things, Miss 'I think I'm so adorable'!!" yelled Hydia, pointing a shaky finger at Miri.
"I don't think I'm adorable," said Miri innocently, "I KNOW I am! Now get out of my mansion!!!"
"Fine! You asked for it, queenie!" Hydia pulled out a magic wand and muttered some odd phrase to herself and then flung a mass of energy at Miri. Cackling, Miri pulled out the remote and pushed pause. The mass froze in midair!
"Drat, you evil queen, there must be someway to stop you." muttured, Hydia pacing back and forth. Without warning, the mass of energy started moving again, straight towards Miri.
"AIIEEEE!" she cried, ducking just in time for the energy to hit the wall behind her, "Who did that? I'm the only one with the remote!"
"Not anymore, Miri. Put your remote down."
"TLP?" gasped Miri, jaw dropping, "But I put you in jail..."
Thousands of bushwoolies stood proudly behind TLP, ready for battle.
"Yes, you put me in jail! And these fine fellows helped me escape!" he said, shaking the head bushwollie's paw, "I owe them my life! But while in jail, I managed to reconstuct an exact copy of the remote! MWhahahah!!"
"Well, there's only one thing to do now, TLP, now that you've, ruined my kingdom!"
TLP's eyebow raised. "Oh? And what's that? There's nothing you can do now!" he cackled.
"Ahehe, Miri? TLP? Why don't you just give the remote to one of us.." suggested Amy.
"NEVER! There's only one thing to do!" smirked Miri.
"You already said that, now get on with it!" muttered Mina.
"I heard that! Say bye bye to Ponyland!"
Miri pushed a button and the channel changed.
Everyone fell from the pink world and swirled through static until they landed on something soft, white, and fluffy.
"A cloud?" asked Darien hesitantly.
Several bears peered out from a variety of rainbow-colored houses at their mysterious guests.
Darien groaned and lost conciousness.
