//------------------------------// // Mouse Trouble // Story: Mouse Trouble // by Paulli //------------------------------// A C A R T O O N COLOR BY EQUESTROCOLOR MOUSE TROUBLE Directed by Lauren Faust and Meghan McCarthy No. 19870 MPAE Produced by Devon Cody It was a bright and sunny day, and birds sing their songs joyfully all their lives to beautify the day, leaves fall, as per say by nature, and on the peaceful scenery far ahead lied a house, a house big and strong... a house, typical of any established house around its surroundings, the neighboring streets. Skip all that complement, and without further ado, here we go, on a nearby mailbox that reads "MAIL", our friendly little mailmare named Muffins or Derpy as everybody loves calling her, carried a little brown parcel tied in strings in her mouth as she places it within the mailbox, before clumzily fluttering her wings off leaving for her office. Then as seconds walked by, the doors on the house further bursted open, and of a sudden zipped straight for us, none other than our favourite Pegasus pony, Rainbow Dash, excitedly waiting for her mail to land by, she grabs it, and in a quick flash, zips further back into her home in a second. You see, to describe it short, Rainbow Dash spends most of her days catching a particular mouse, not just any mouse, we'll explain later, but every scheme our Pegasus cooks up in order to capture the mouse always lands crashing on her head... literally, and this latest package of hers is part and parcel of a latest of schemes to this time finally catch her prey. But the question is, will it pay off and finally ensnare his catch? Or will it fail and smacks itself right across her face? Let's see, shall we... Rainbow Dash, in pure exhilaration, ripped the parcel piece by piece with her bare hooves to reveal a book, not just any books she shudders off, it's a sort of instructions on pages, or a manual of sorts, a "how to" type of book, which read: HOW TO CATCH A PONY MOUSE A RANDOM PONY MOUSE BOOK Opening the first pages of the book, the first one read: CHAPTER I First-Locate the Pony Mouse As Rainbow Dash began to earnestly but rapidly skim word by word of pages, what she's completely oblivious of the fact that, below her, was a little guest who, uninvited, joined along and synchronized with Dash's little book reading, which like her also skimmed off the words on the page with quick pacing. Yup, that's right, she's our very meticulous and mischievously small rodent equine, Pinkie Mouse, who was that one pony mouse we've mentioned that always outwits and foils the heck out of our big girl's attemps in capturing her, resulting in more harm directed to her than to this little rascal, she'd done all this many times over years before. As Dash skimmed along the words of the book obliviously not noticing her supposed prey also doing the same thing with her, the equine mouse suddenly planted her right hoof, stopping Dash at a page, while still not noticing her as the one who stopped her, and like a unnoticing fool she's always been, she let it slide by, eyes looking away to the windows. Finishing her page, Pinkie then flipped the pages herself, while Dash returned back to the book, ready to read the next page, that's when her not-so-bright little mind suddenly catched glimpse of the little squirt. Seizing this opportunity, Dash attempts to pounce and close those hooves of hers in for the rodent, seemingly successful in doing so, however, the mouse simply squeezed her way out, hopping out into the book's front, grasping both sides with her hooves, before, with astounding amounts of pure strength, BASH!! smacks both sides of the book right on her face, squashing it literally flat, now that's gonna be a big smart on her part, before victoriously scurrying off. Retreating into her mousehole with our ever so hot-headed Pegasus pony in hot pursuit, she stopped just right on the front, hastily flipping the pages of the book before giving an intrinsic page a close gaze, that reads: CHAPTER II Next...Try the simple pony mouse trap. Rainbow Dash, a mousetrap held on hooves, mentioned on the book, a small piece of cake serving as bait, lets a small feather to float down straight for it. The feather triggers it and snaps, before letting it fall down never to be seen again. Now with the trap set and ready, she slowly plants the thing into the floor right next to the mousehole where Pinkie Mouse resides in hopes that, as the book had pictured, would snap the little equine rodent's tail in the flash of a second, before making herself scarce behind the crossing area of the room, a confident simper stashed her face as she waits for her opportunity be caught. Later, as planned, Pinkie Mouse exits her shelter of safety, walking out about happy-go-lucky, seemingly without stirring any worries in her at all, a big smile across her little face, as soon as she spotted the little cake lingering on the trigger of the mousetrap as bait, she neared it joyfully, of course oblivious of the big thing that's about to do something bad to her, her only mindset on the cake, just the cake. She began to try and pull the peace of food hard as her little muscles can work her, but harder and harder she pulled and it didn't let go, it's like it's been stuck on a very sticky glue on the trap. Her hooves on the mousetrap's platform, still not acknowledging the whole thing, mindset still trained on the cake, she pulled and pulled harder and still never letting go, then she tried bucking and bucking it with her hinds, still it did nothing, and went back to pulling again, this, with all the strength she carried, heaved and heaved and finally... PHWOK! She successfully yanked the cake out from the trigger, while landing herself near the spring of the trap. With a very victorious glee, she gobbled her piece of cake, before simply bouncing off the moustrap straight for her mousehole like a diving board, without even triggering the whole trap to snap at her own bottom. Rainbow Dash couldn't believe her eyes on what just happened. That the mouse had touched the trigger, yet it didn't did its job on her! Coming out of hiding, and her bafflement, for the mousetrap, Dash then attempted to see if the trap still remains busted like it was on Pinkie, by touching the trigger herself! Unfortunately, it seemed that the trap had developed a sort of liking for the pink pipsqueek, but as for Dash however... the moment her hoof made contact with the trip, the whole thing actually activates its own trigger and the spring bar instead snaps on her hoof! That's gonna smart on her part though, as she scrambled all around, yelling squeels of extreme pain. CHAPTER III A Snare Trap never fails.. Here we go again, next one, oh, if what this book says is promising, we hope this one pays off for Dash's benefit, otherwise, the book will see the wrath of the easily-frustrated Pegasus. Here, Rainbow Dash places yet another piece of cake in front of Pinkie's mousehole, surrounded by a circle of rope. As the book said, it's a snare trap, and if any second that the little pink pack rat comes out to collect the bait, with the pull of a string, mouse gets caught by the rope, dangling into a tree that was bizarrely pulled down curved, by said rope outside the window that goes all the way towards being anchored to a makeshift cleat inside the house, if this little scheme of hers succeeds that is. As our not-so-friendly blue equine tiptoes toward a tall furniture around the house to hide and wait for her moment, carrying the string she's supposed to pull to spring the trap. In a not-so-notable coincidence, Pinkie Mouse also's got another trick of her tiny little braincase, carrying a big bowl of milk in exchange for the little bait she was supposed to consume here and there, carrying the bait blithely towards the cervice that's her home. As Dash peeks through from her hiding to see if her prey had eaten the bait, this instead went further down for her, as soon as she shot her gaze into the bowl of milk just lying on the rope, all focus on catching the witty Pinkie had vanished like smoke, and in her foolish temptation, she dashed off into the bowl and started to take heavy and hungry licks of her tongue on the milk placed on the trap. Meanwhile said pony mouse, taking adventage of Dash's easily distracted nature, pulls the string off the cleat, sending the poor, unfortunate Pegasus pony swaggering around the tree the mouse was supposed to end up in, and oh, that's gonna hurt a lot if you ask her, and talk about the bashing by the tree like it was using her as punching bag, and brief seconds of constriction by that rope... oh, what a nauseating experience. So much for never fails we guess... CHAPTER IV A Curious Pony Mouse is easy to catch.. Next, Rainbow Dash just walks around the room casually, smile across her face, carrying the same book within her "arms", towards the mousehole, then dropping flat on her chest, the book pulled open. As the book had suggested, Dash has to pretend to do something as serious and as realistic as possible, so as if the mouse pony catches ears of her doing, Dash can get her attention, once at close range will she finally capture said curious rodent equine. So what she did, skimming a couple of words, she started laughing loudly and bombastically. Streaming another sentence after flipping a page, she laughed once again, this time loud and realistic enough, coupled with a smack to her knee by a hoof to add apparent genuinity, on the nearby mousehole, the mouse in question caught ears of what Dash was up to, and after a few seconds of peeking out, began sneaking her way out from the safety of her hole towards the big winged horse laughing her lungs on a book seemingly hilarious of contents, cautious as to not fall into yet another trick set up by the latter. Flipping another page, as Dash continued to laugh out loud while smacking against a page, she had caught glimpse of Pinkie Mouse just next to her and the book, now more curious as to what she's reading about, just as planned, and attempting to land her eyes on it. Seemingly irritated, Rainbow rotates behind and again, looked like wanting to hog the book for herself, and started hilariously guffawing her lungs off the seemingly "funny", content while smacking her hooves on page. Ever curious than so, Pinkie rounded towards the Pegasus and her book, again attempting to peek at it. Annoyed by her presence, Rainbow Dash then raised the left side of the book to keep her from gazing within, followed by apparent laughter, the curious pony mouse tried again in front of the book. Exasperated by her constant bugging of her "enjoyment", Dash, yielding the book away from Pinkie to herself, swiveled back once more and began snickering at the pages she's reading, and another smack on the pages. Still never letting go, the pink nuisance then clambered behind the big pony, squeezing out of her shoulders, and landing shortly this time just in the middle of the pages and her pursuer right on cue, and now able to get all the big glances at what's really on paper the big pony was reading. However, unsuspecting she was, she didn't discern the fact that the big mean Pegasus that was Rainbow Dash was already sitting just feet of her within pouncing range, she'd be in danger... perhaps. As for Dash, now with the target within her clasp, seizing her opportunity with a smile that would definitely match the Devil himself, she slowly but silently closed the whole book right on the unsuspecting pony mouse, then... SMACK!! Wham!! She snapped the whole book shut on her! Seemingly successfully entrapping the little morsel, Dash then dug her hoof deep down the pages... feeling something making contact, she pulled out, holding it tight in case the little critter might spring to life and abscond off if she slips her guard off, carefully opening her hoof, she saw... Pinkie Mouse... there, sitting on her hunches, unscathed, no scratches... despite the, well undeniable to our eyes, squashing she took on the book, but what a position she took, adorable but dubious as you can look close, a very curious one to say it, and now, it is Rainbow Dash's turn for her curiosity come out, for quippy ol' Pinkie has hidden "something", very secretly within her tiny little hooves, gazing at it closer with a single eye. Dash, whose own curiosity drooling out her head, tried to see what the little scoundrel's hiding within her hold. She, like Dash before her, also turned away her little extremities from her line of sight, earning more and more of Dash into really wanting to see what's inside. When she did finally give her what she really wanted, Dash gazed closer to the closed hoof, that's when the smart-little-aleck started seizing her own opportunity, Dash's attention hanging on the closed hooves away from her objective, Pinkie then retracted her right hoof, now in a closed curling fist. With that, she delivered, tiny but deceiving... BSHK!! A quick and straight right jab straight for the Dash's wide and bulging eye, dropping her. Dash yelped excruciatingly as she dropped the little critter down. Claiming her moment, Pinkie Mouse absconded off into a corner of the room, the now furious Pegasus in a fiery pursuit, fiery as her own grudge that's always placed on the critter, but not after pausing to a halt just right there, with the pony mouse completely cornered with not a small hope of escaping, not an opening to squeeze onto, her seemingly cowering form heavily breathing, both from exhaustion, and probably fear of being mauled by the fuming hoofed colossus before her, or worse. Dash just stood there, book on hoof, before landing her huge eyeballs on the pages, reading: CHAPTER V A Cornered Pony Mouse NEVER FIGHTS. Sure... this could be done in a cinch, ten seconds flat Dash though herself. After all, compared to a frail and banal little rodent like Pinkie Mouse, Rainbow Dash is physically stronger, bigger, and scarier, and talk about fast... and there's absolutely no way the likes of her would definitely stand against- BSHK!! BSHK!! TSHLL!! BSHK!! BSHK!! TSHL!! TSHLL!! BSHK!! TSHL!! Oh... well, never mind... Don't you believe it... Well, guess looks can be deceiving, that "banal little mouse" is not as "banal" as we all thought... huh... CHAPTER VI Be Scientific in your approach.. Next one, if this won't backfire... hilariously. We see Rainbow Dash attempting to search the wall using none other than a stethoscope: One of Doc's most valued tools, well, according to the book, another "best", way, to catch the elusive little creature which is the mouse is that, as much as Dash may resent it, that she has to be a bit on an eggheaded approach to things, well at least all that matters is that mouse on her iron grasp right? As Dash began scaling the wall with the thing, picking up the faintest of sounds from behind it, specifically, sound produced by none but her prey. Little does she know that, however, as she tapped and tapped the little bell on the instrument across area after area.. it just found itself on a nearby mousehole, with Pinkie Mouse just standing there placidly enjoying a little snack of cupcake, which was almost out with every bite she took. She just gazed at the still-unaware big horse just prodding around with her stethoscope, which, after a few seconds of fruitless searching, had at last found itself attached on the little rodent equine's belly, not even having the slightest worry running on her head, nor had the intention to zip off, just letting Dash do her thing. Rainbow Dash, having halted her search with the stethoscope just there, oblivious to notice, right on Pinkie's tiny belly, began hearing, well... loud banging sounds, sounds that resemble huge drums playing on a marching band, playing in rythm, no pun intended, we meant, she heard like, big drums pounding, and the instrument's eartips also, not lying, pulsate with the banging: all courtesy of Pinkie's hard-pumping heart picked up by the stethoscope. For a small creature like her, she sure has one loud-pounding heart. While Dash was still processing what she just heard, Pinkie Mouse had gobbled up all that's left of the cake, chewing it up all the way around. As she was doing this, Dash's head began jerking in a rather unusual fashion, as if her head was chewing on food rather than her mouth, syncing with the sounds picked up by her stethoscope. It was then that Pinkie Mouse swallowed her meal, in doing so, this made Rainbow Dash heard some clanking sounds through the instrument she uses as the food falls through her stomach, increasing in volume as it fell deeper then... SPLASH! Rainbow Dash heard as the food plunges into Pinkie's digestive juices, before turning her eyes to see the latter, just smiling cool at her, waving a gesture of greeting. Seeing this as an opportunity, Dash quickly grabbed the little critter with both her hooves, giving away a very sinister smile. Just she was about to do her in, clever little Pinkie grabbed the little bell of her stethoscope and then... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! The sound was so intense and ear-shattering, that it caused, again, not gonna lie, Rainbow Dash's whole temple and mane to pop out and hover around in the air for seconds from the intensity of Pinkie screaming through the stethoscope! Before smacking back where it belongs, sounding like a clymbal. Aww, sweet mercy, I'd take that thing off if we were her, cuz that was one sharply painful experience she went through there. Running for her mousehole, Pinkie Mouse smiled in victory, but that vanished before hurrying into her hole as Rainbow Dash arrived with a shotgun, a real, legitimate shotgun. Well per usual, when Dash loses her cool, she'd result to tactics as clumsy and hazardous as this. Plunging it into the hole, Rainbow Dash attempts to blast the little bundle of annoyance into smithereens, but completely unaware that she was, that the gun's twin barrels had seemed to cloil themselves up the other way, plowing their way out the wall above the mousehole and aiming straight right out for Dash's forehead, point-blank. Incognizant for the very thing she was supposed to eradicate the little squirt whose bullets' trajectory straight for her shell-hard cranium, Dash, like a big unsuspecting halfwit she was, pulled the trigger... and then... BUGUUUUUUSHHHHH!!! After the area of smoke cleared off, we can see Rainbow Dash, who miraculously survived the blast, covering her scalp with her forehooves. Opening them, to reveal that her scalp was stripped of her once awesome rainbow mane and all that's left was exposed skin with some charred hair, Rainbow simply gazed above on. Now that is what we call extremely reckless, and talk about humiliating, if she didn't hurt herself, then what a way in finding a method very dangerous and a stunt so life-threatening that the only consequence made is just to embarrass herself. Here we go again, and boy does that Dashie never ever learn, even if she had lost her own mane, because this time, she's on her own, without the book around to guide her, for now she does things her own (dumb) way. And here's Rainbow Dash just in front of Pinkie's mousehole, struggling to set up a bear trap of all things, in an attempt to snag the witty little pony mouse, and wow, does she get a new look on her bald scalp that's, very... "stylish": a rainbow colored center-parting wig adorned in place of her scorched mane, we're afraid this'll how she'll look like, the rest of the whole story. As Dash tips the metallic contraption deep into the mousehole, hoping she could obtain the little mouse with a snap, she could have succeeded in doing so if it weren't for said mouse, smile on her face, emerged from the other side of the wall through another mousehole pushing on the same bear trap meant for her, just right behind Dashie, before retreating back to safety. As Dashie thinks about her own victory assured, and sits on her hunches comfortably, nothing does she know that what she was about to sit on was not as "comfortable" as she'll ever thought, because the moment her bubble bottom rests, her silky, wild rainbow tail made contact with the bear trap, then... BISHKT!! Rainbow Dash screamed excruciatingly, so painful that it made her jump off high into the ceiling, causing some chunks and husks of stone to come crashing down because, if you look on the ceiling, you can see Rainbow Dash, whose head slammed against it and got stuck, jerking her body about, and yapping agonizingly as she struggles to get out of her sticky situation there. The poor fool. Again following her unplanned ways, Rainbow Dash tries to smack Pinkie Mouse using a big mallet, the latter dodging every strike as she pops her head in and out of the mousehole. With Dash not noticing that the portrait above her slid aside to reveal an old withering crevice. With her popping out, Pinkie then grabs the mallet from the hooves of her predator, and, before she can do anything but gaze at her, with astounding strength, she whacks the mallet right on Dash's forehead, knocking her out silly as she collapses and Pinkie looks down, amusingly. CHAPTER IX SLIP HER A SURPRISE PACKAGE Next attempt, Rainbow Dash, anonymously concealed in a gift box, complete with a wrapper, inaudibly but quickly advances through the room, with her legs only doing the steps as the rest of her is hidden, stopping just next to her destination, Pinkie's mousehole, with the whole malarkey being said that, if the unsuspecting Pinkie Mouse attempts to unravel the whole surprise package, will Dashie finally snuff her out of hiding by surprise, sounds quite clever and promising though. Collapsing her legs back to the box, Dash pops out from her cover to knock on the wall above the hole before regressing back in the box like a tortoise, waiting for her cue to pass by. As planned, somehow, Pinkie Mouse peeks out of her mousehole, with an expression that spells curiosity, noticed the big dubious package lying just in front of her. Her curiosity changed to one of suspicion as there was no way someone just dropped such a box then skedaddled off without leaving as much as a note. Tiptoeing her way past the entrance straight for the box, Pinkie then examines it using one of her big equine ears, checking if she can hear any snippets of russles or any of most dubious sounds she can pick up. Hearing nothing, the box completely silent, Pinkie then knocks on the box with her lefties, and still not a ruse stirring from with inside, or someone, she thought, making any. Her insinuation escalating, the critter then returned to her shelter of safety, with Dash, a diabolical look etching her expression, popping out, very sure about the prospect of getting closer and closer to catch the mouse, but little does she know that the latter's supposed inquisition had turned to a steel wall of suspicion, she then makes herself scarce back in the box, but things are about to get real prickly as a quill on her part, as the mouse pony then returned carrying five pins on her shoulders, to make sure that there really was indeed someone hiding inside the incredulous gift. Thrusting the first needle into the box, then we can hear... OOF! Screams of agony, courtesy of our not-so-fortunate Pegasus pony, as Pinkie jabs another one right on the box's side, and... UH-AAAULGH! As more needles are being punched into the box the more increasingky unbearable the grunts had become. Another one and then... WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO!! Like flood dangerously rising to high levels, the screams just so get any worse, if those weren't enough, as each needle was being jabbed one after another, inflicting sharp and pricking pain to, unknown to the assailant, the not-so-fortunate big horse trapped inside her own cover... UH-UOOH!! Another one... OOF!! Just after all that slew of needles being nailed into this box with the Pegasus still sealed misfortuned within, the small mouse pony inserted the final pin, all that and came one, final, horrific but shrill cry of nothing but pure migraine... OOWH! With silence finally soothing everything without a ruse, Pinkie decides to take things to the final touch to see if there was really something concealed inside the gift box, so, running behind and reappearing on top, carrying a huge saw, which eye-poppingly, carried off with a forleg, began to saw the whole box down in two! As if to really clarify that there was no someone hiding inside. Making way to the floor, Pinkie then scopes the halved box with her ears, hearing nothing, with a smiling shrug, she sprung her head inside to peek at the contents, then suddenly receding out to look at us, her previous smile had contorted into one of horror and repulsion, for what she did was unfathomably terrible. Pulling out a huge sheet of paper from behind the gift box, seemingly out from thin air, it says: IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? Moving on, we see Rainbow Dash, who was lucky enough, as usual, to get out of that bizarre but oh so painful ordeal, but with a huge badage wrapped around from her belly to her fanny, constricting the deep and awfully whole slice that literally tore her to two, surrounding her was an open first-aid kit, surgical scissors and more bandages spread on the floor as well as some medicinal doo-hickies. As she, eyes furrowed, flipped some pages on the mouse book, at last she stopped by and read a specific page, a menacing smile sticking her features, it read: CHAPTER XII PONY MICE ARE SUCKERS FOR FRIENDS Turning the keys around to activate, Rainbow Dash places aground an old plastic toy of a yellow pegasus with a pink flowing mane and blue-green eyes, which upon, starts wagging back and forth to move forward, muttering, over and over later: Yaay. Hearing this sound, Pinkie Mouse peeks her head out of her shelter, and after training her eyes on the toy waddling past her, she becomes immediately mesmerized, just as planned, once Pinkie, who is usually a sucker when it comes to friends, keeps hold of the toy will ensure her capture, somewhat. As she gives "her" a shoulder and begins strolling beside the toy, "she" turns back, letting go briefly before another shoulder by the real mouse pony and strolling back side-by-side. Now by this time, Rainbow Dash, having waited behind a small model facade of a restaurant, the sign above saying "Sugarcube Corner", perceiving the mouse pony growing closer to her, the Pegasus readied herself and opened her jaw so wide that it's more wider than the whole door she hid herself behind, intending to gobble up the little pipsqueak the moment he makes entrance of the trap. As they approach the entrance to the "café", the yellow Pegasus toy made a sharp turn around, confusing Pinkie Mouse a tad bit, and when "she" turned back right for the entrance again, Pinkie, remembring her whole "best friends first" principle, gestures the toy, which she was incognizant it is, to let "her" walk in first, with Pinkie following, the toy muttering "yaay" as time passes. Unbeknownst to her, behind that entrance was a big wide jaw hanging broadly and waiting there, she could've ended up stepping towards her doom if it weren't for the toy stepping in first, causing a jumble of clanging and rattling sounds resonating from within, spewing out the entrance some springs, knots, bolts, and of course, some teeth, causing Pinkie to wall her way and peek up at the victim who just ingested that piece of plastic and metal. It was Rainbow Dash, what a flimsy fool she had been, another scheme slammed down to the ground, this time by her own thing, as the ground up shambles of the toy shook her cheeks, she burst out a hiccup, causing all of it to come stumbling within her systems, tumbling with banging sounds, causing jerking movements, before finally bashing down her stomach. She hiccuped again, followed by: Yaay. And again: Hic! Yaay. She then plucked out a mirror seemingly out of thin air to see what had happened on her maw, through it, saw her teeth in a not-so maculate position, then, the moment one of her canine teeth fell off her gums, hitting the solid floor: TSSSHLL!! Smacking the mirror to the ground, shattering it, Rainbow Dash, whose thermometer now had wind up so beyond the boiling point that she can't take it anymore, with all of her attempts being botched because they simply backfire or the fact that the bothersome pony mouse had downright outquipped her duly on the way, began to pluck the book, and with every inch of her seething wrath, tore and shred the whole book with her bear hooves, ripping page after page, but just as she was doing this, another yet hilarious hiccuping interrupted, and triggered: Yaay. But paying that without any little heed, Dash proceeded to rip off the last page before slamming them aground and stomping them repeatedly again and again. Now with the mouse becoming a large spike right on her sternum, well as per like many times before, Rainbow Dash, now internally blazing with bloodlust, no longer desiring to entrap the little rodent-equine, but if that meant literally annihilating everything is all worth getting her, in her most literally explosive sttempt yet, as she sets up a huge barrel of explosive TNT, carrying it with a surprising amount of mettle, to be placed on the top of a heavy-duty missile called "Jock Buster", surrounded by explosives of various sizes and shapes, but not before another hiccup trigger (which causes her rainbow wig to jump up and later land back in place) and a: Yaay. Plucking up a strung-together sticks of dynamite, with the intended bogey popping out, Dash, with an open simper and expression ripe with malice, slots in the explosives in the mousehole, the occupant running back to as they were lodged. Igniting a matchstick right from her flank, easy as a feather, she slowly closed it near the fuse, careful as she might think the whole thing blows up before she knew it, after at first receding twice, a tiny spark had successfully lit up right where she wanted, but is only seen as a small rising tower of smoke. Noticing this, Dash then attempts to blow in the fuse so the spark travels in faster. However, careless as she is, she wasn't able to stop and think about what she just did when she blew the fuse so hard, that the spark had rapidly paced its way into the primary sticks, initiating a huge eruption of fire and colors so spectacular, encompassing everything in its splendor, that it resembled those of fireworks seen in the sky: BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BANG!!BANG!!BUGSHHHHHHHHHH!!! After a short period of black blanketing everything, some black smoke dissipating, all that's left of the entire household, which is now but eradicated into nothing but rubble and husk, the only thing, of all things, that had survived what would have been a devastating cloud of fire was the mousehole, apparently, the whole regard was simply that it and its occupant were simply just meant to be plain lucky to survive all of it, with only a single row of alternating bricks supported what's only left of the whole floor, that supports the mousehole, as Pinkie, completely unscathed, peeps out just to see her leveled up surroundings, a certain rainbow wig just hovered down below, noticing it, she then lifted her eyes up, then we see none other than Rainbow Dash, whose soul fresh out of her body, having killed herself right after that big boom that had been triggered, and once more like an unlearning ingrate, she, just sitting on a soft puffy cloud heading high above the blue sky, its occupant ready to meet her maker, or home if we should, with a deeply disgruntled expression, head planted against her left hoof, the right holding a golden harp, and because the rainbow wig was last seen floating down, her scalp still pink-bald of her slick original mane, with an angel's halo attached above. As she continues to exhibit her annoyed look, three more hiccups escaped her diaphragm, followed by utterance by the same toy she just swallowed. Hic! Yaay. Hic! Yaa-. Hic! Yaa-. Hic! Yaay.
