"Hiya!" a shrill voice behind you threatens to not only shatter your earpiece but your eardrums as well. You turn around and see a pink pony, poofed up hair a shade darker than her fur  bulging from her helmet. She's wearing the light armor variant of the engineer class, a anti- vehicle rocket launcher in her hands with extra pods on her hips. She's right in your face, her breath both visible and hitting you directly. Her breath smells like tart candy.
The rocket launcher she's carrying doesn't ease your mind at all.

You'e a bit surprised at suddenly coming face to face with this... pony... thing. And as such you jump back a bit. She just closes the distance again. Her eyes are huge and light blue, piercing into your very soul. You shoulder your rifle and pull out your PDA; pushing her back with your forearm so that you can see it better.

Is this one of your squad mates? 

The big guy upstairs must really like you, because sure enough, right under the squad tab, there is her picture. Under your squad name. Along with five other ponies. Oh yeah. He really likes you.

You put your PDA away and sure enough, the pony moves right back up in your grill. Nose to ski mask, she's still breathing on you. Clearly she doesn't know the meaning of personal space (plot device).

Then she starts talking again. Such torture could be used in POW camp. She moves back and starts talking... and talking... and talking... gosh dang she can talk!
WARNING: PINKIE PIE SPEAKING: WARNING
"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and you must be the guy I'm supposed to meet and go on a huge adventure with! My friends are all over the place and we should totally go find them and get this party started! *gasp* It'll totally be like an adventure! You and me, going to find our friends that are lost in the city! Oooooooh! Oooh oooh oooh! We could bring cupcakes! Oh I should totally make some cupkakes!" By now she's bouncing with her hands just below her chin, "Oh I looooooooove cupcakes! Have you ever had a cupcake? Sugar Cube Corner has the best cupcakes in all Equestria! By the way, I'm Pinkie Pie and-"
REJOICE! PINKIE PIE HAS BEEN SHUT UP! REJOICE![color/]

The pink menace is finally shut up by your hands being placed on her mouth. 
"mmphmmmm mph mph mph mph mph mmmmmmphhhh mphhhhhhh mpppphhhhmmmmhhppphmmmmmpppphh!"
Well... shut up enough.

"Okay," you say exasperated, "I'm gonna let go, and you're not gonna say a word. Okay?"
She nods and you remove your gloved hands. Not even a full second later she's running her mouth again.
Gonna be a long tournament.
A long tournament indeed.

Your arms drop to your sides in defeat. There's no stopping her.

You pull back out your PDA and set an MGP near the rest of the EU team for the rest of your squad to meet at. They show up, or not, doesn't matter to you at this point. Screw them.
After putting your PDA back again you turn around to walk away but are stopped by something latching onto you. Of course it's the pink one. 
"Where ya goin?" She asks. A huge Cheshire Cat grin on her face. You simply push her away and start moving again. She immediately latches back on. You try again, "Hey!" And again "Hey!" And again "Don't-" and again "-leave-" and yet again "-me-" huh, I think we're beginning to see a patte- "-here!" 

You give in, "fine!" You say, irritated beyond belief, "I won't leave you. Just let go of me!" 

"YAY!" She shouts excitedly, "We're gonna be the bestest best friends ever! I can't wait to introduce you to all my other friends!"
Her grip tightens. 

You sigh and begin dragging the motormouth pink pony along. So this is what a leach feels like...

Uhuh.
A long tournament indeed.
