//------------------------------// // Wish #5 // Story: Wishbone Equestria // by Dirty Bit //------------------------------// Pinkie Pie Pinkie Pie hummed to herself as she hopped out of her room after Mr. and Mrs. Cake left her to watch the children while they were gone. While the order was big, they claimed they could handle it themselves. Pinkie made sure the Pumpkin and Pound Cake were asleep before she decided to go downstairs and make herself a snack "I'm feeling chimicherrychangas today! Let's do chimicherrychangas!!" She grinned to herself as she hopped into the kitchen. Before she went to bake on her table, she hopped over to a convenient mirror she uses to motivate herself for any kind of cooking she would do. She grinned at the mirror "How am I doing today, Pinkie Pie!?" In the mirror was not a reflection of the party pony, but one similar to her with a white coat, yellow mane, purple eyes, and wings. She grinned back at Pinkie Pie as she raised her hooves in the air "You're doing great!!" She responded in the same tone as Pinkie. Pinkie Pie raised her own hooves afterwards "Good! Then I'll keep it up!!" She then made her way over to the pantry to pick out the necessary ingredients. When she opened it, she noticed that she lacked some of the ingredients needed to make chimicherrychangas. She also noticed a strange skull with a red '5' sitting next to the chestnuts while leering at her with ruby eyes. Pinkie noticed, but wasn't exactly scared as she fished it out with her forehooves "Wow, talk about eye candy! Hi there! What's your name?" The skull only leered back. "My name is Thromnambular, and I can grant wishes! If you ask for a cake, it will be delicious..." Pinkie rubbed her chin with a hoof "Cake, eh?" She then shook her head "Wait a minute! I can always bake one! I don't need to wish for one-" Pinkie then gasped "Did you say you can grant wishes!?" Thromnambular grunted. "Are you deaf, you equine of pink?" I can grant you whatever you think!" Pinkie grinned "Like a genie!! Just like..." She paused before she gasped again and glared at Thromnambular "Hey! You're that scary skull Twilight was looking for! The one that possessed Spike!" The skull chuckled. "The only thing that possessed that dragon was greed... His mind was clouded and full of need! I granted him a wish, and I can give you one, too! Just say the word, and I shall see what I'll do!" Pinkie blinked "Spike was greedy again? But Ponyville's in mint condition! But if you're serious about wishes...Hmmm..." She looked down in thought "I always wondered what everything would be like backwards...NO! I have a better idea!!" She grinned at Thromnambular "Thromby, I wish for a friend from a far away place that was just like me!! Then we can be the bestest of best friends forever!!" Thromnambular glowed brightly and floated into the air, instantly dazzling Pinkie as she stared in awe. "So a pink horse wants a hyper friend, To which they'll share til the very end! I shall send for a friend from a far away place Who will give the biggest smile on your face!!" Thromnambular laughed as the '5' on his head split apart and vanish to make way for a bold red '4' in its place. Then the entire room brightened up before the skull teleported in a flash. Pinkie made sure to put on sunglasses with how bright it was earlier, but she took them off when she heard a rattling behind the back door in the kitchen "Hello? Anypony there?" The door rattled long enough before it sprung open to reveal a bipedal figure covered head-to-toe in a red and black suit and decked out with firearms and weaponry jump into the kitchen "Ooga Booga Booga! Where the white women at!?" He yelled through his covered mouth. "Dude, wrong superhero! That's Spiderman ACTING like us!" "Say, do any of you ever wonder where we are all of the sudden?" The suited figure pondered to himself after hearing voices in his head "Good point..." He looked around with his pupilless eyes to observe the kitchen "Hey! This looks exactly like-" He then noticed Pinkie grinning at him and he gave a low gasp "Oh M. Night Shyamalamadingdong!" Pinkie hopped up and down as she squealed with joy "Deadpool!! You're here!!" Deadpool spread his arms out "Pinkie! Good to see ya! Why the hell haven't I been here before!?" He said as the party pony jumped into his arms, the two hyperactive (And quite possibly insane) friends sharing a warm hug before they broke the ice "So what are you doing right now? Whatever it is, I want in!" Pinkie smiled "I was gonna make chimicherrychangas!" She then frowned "But I don't have enough ingredients..." Deadpool smiled down at Pinkie behind his mask. She was the only one that ever understood the Merc with a Mouth. Especially since they both break the 4th wall like nopony's business "Fuck that disco! What say we whip up some cupcakes?" Pinkie instantly grinned "Well, now that you're here! Okay!" The two bakers fished out a radio and Pinkie pressed a button as a song began to play. With that, Pinkie and Deadpool started making cupcakes while doing a funny dance at certain occasions. Pumpkin Cake was chewing on her duck upstairs until she heard the loud music under her. She plopped the duck out of her mouth and stared at the floor, then narrowed her eyes and scowled as she continuously slammed the duck on the floor as it made adorable squeaks. While Pinkie and Deadpool were baking cupcakes inside, something very strange happened outside. The sky over Equestria began to crack about as if it were made of glass. Around that time, Twilight and Applejack were lucky to find Spike around another part of Ponyville. Spike finally reached the two mares and sighed in relief "I'm so glad you two are okay! Did any of you manage to find Thromnambular?" Twilight replied instantly "We were just about to ask you the same thing! Did he make you do anything evil around Ponyville while you were possessed by him?" Spike raised an eyebrow "Possessed? I wasn't possessed! I just granted a wish for myself that went terribly wrong!" Twilight held an interrogating stare "How wrong?" Her stare left when she noticed Big Macintosh running around screaming while several stallions chased him with cheers. The lavender bookworm only stared in disbelief. Applejack had her jaw dropped before she turned to Spike "Spike...PLEASE tell me that wasn't yer wish..." She said in a low tone. Spike flinched "What!? No way I would do that to Big Mac! I just wanted-" A loud cracking noise was heard by the trio as they all looked up to see the sky looking ready to crumble apart. Soon, the shards separated and made way for a burning red sky with a fast swirling vortex. The shards of the blue sky were collected and sucked higher into a whirling pattern until there was nothing left. Everypony noticed this and ran around in a panic. Spike turned to the two mares "What's going on!?" Twilight looked up with fear "I don't know!! I don't know what's happening right now!! It's as if all of Equestria's going to vanish!!" Applejack stared up as well "We can't jus' sit here!! We gotta find that skull before it's too late!! Let's get movin' y'all!!" The trio then moved off to Ponyville library so they could let Princess Celestia know about this. _____ When they were finished with the cupcakes, Pinkie and Deadpool decided to take a stroll outside. The Merc with the Mouth claimed that the children were smart enough to take care of themselves (That, and babies creep him out.). Deadpool spoke proudly "Did I ever tell you they're gonna be making a video game of me soon? FINALLY I'll get the recognition I deserve! Hehe, suck it, Wolverine..." Pinkie popped a cupcake into her mouth and swallowed it instantly "That's really cool, Deady! Maybe it'll be like my Adventure Ponies game!" She then looked up at the sky in awe "Whoa~!! What's going on right now?" Deadpool looked up before his eyes narrowed "Better not be Galactus again! I already wasted his ass more times than I can count with how many folks play MVC3!" The two stared long enough before a yellow light shot down from the eye of the storm. The light landed in front of Deadpool and Pinkie, then receded to reveal another bipedal figure in a blue tunic and red cloak, sporting a dashing moustache as he casted a serious stare to the two "Come, Deadpool! We must hurry back to your own world!! You'll only cause the collapsation of the universe here!!" Deadpool moaned in complaint as he threw his arms like a difficult child "Do I have to!? I like it here!! Other Deadpools are lucky to be here, but why not me!? Cut me a break, Doc!!" Pinkie smiled "Yeah, Doc! Can't Deady stay here a little while longer? Please? Pleasepleasepleaseprettypleeeease?" She looked up with pleading eyes. The man shook his head "I'm afraid I cannot oblige, pink equine! Deadpool's presence here would only cause trouble to you and your friends!" He held out his hands and they glowed yellow, and Deadpool found himself glowing yellow as well and lifted up into the air. The man floated after him and the two were gruadually surrounded by an orb of light "By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggath!!" They shot into the vortex like a bullet, and a bright light covered the sky before everything went back to normal, blue sky and all. Twilight, Applejack, and Spike looked up in surprise to see everything was okay again, and the trio shared confused glances at each other before they resumed their chase for Thromnambular. Pinkie stared up at the sky in awe before she looked down with an angry pout "Phooey! The one time I get to see Deadpool in Equestria and that meanie had to take him away!" She huffed before she looked confused "What's a Hoary Host of Hoggath?" 5 down...4 to go...
