A blob in the hoof

Pinkie Pie looked down at her hoof again, making sure she didn't drop it while walking on three hooves. Her friends watched her from a distance, worried looks on her face.

She ignored them and focused on walking, and not dropping her precious cargo. It would be catastrophic if she did. It could very well mean the end of the world. She held onto it with shear willpower. Everything in her instincts told her to drop it and run the other direction, but this was too important.

"What is that thing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "And why is Pinkie carrying it?"

"I'm not sure, but it can't be good." Twilight responded, eyes never leaving Pinkie. "I'm going to go talk to her."

Twilight began walking toward Pinkie, calling her name. Pinkie ignored her and continued to walk.

"Pinkie, what are you doing?"

"Carrying something." Pinkie responded.

"Care to tell me what?"

"Can't. Must focus."

"Why?"

"Smooze'll eat me."

Twilight was confused, though it didn't take much to confuse anypony when Pinkie was involved.

Twilight turned back to her friends and shrugged. She walked back to them. "I'm still worried. But Pinkie seems to be doing something important, so I think we should just let her go."

"If'n you say so, Twilight." Applejack said. "Just, that thing she's carrying, it scares me."

"Me too, Applejack. Me too."

Pinkie Continued to walk, continued to focus. Her friends didn't know how much danger they were in. She needed to get as far away from here as possible, and she wouldn't stop until she was. The blob on her hoof jiggled a bit, and her heart skipped a beat, but it settled back down. Shear willpower was her only ally right now, the only thing keeping this blob from consuming everything in its path.

Because after all, nothing can stop the Smooze.
