     Dinky was awake before Sweetiebelle, and she glanced around a moment, hoping that what had happened the day before was just a dream. Unfortunately, when she gathered her bearings, she realized that she was still under the table in the snack room. She swallowed the  tears of resentment that had begun to gather behind her eyes and gently crawled out from under the table, as not to disturb her friend. She trotted over to the fridge, ate something, and then sat down, bored.
The purple unicorn began to get impatient as she waited for her white travelling companion to wake, but the older unicorn just snored softly on. Bored, Dinky decided to trot out and have a look on what they had to tackle in the following 12 hours. She opened the door, leaving it open behind her so she could return easier, and began to trot down the hallway. It was only three hallways later that she heard an all-too-familiar gurgling sound, followed by rockk music that was growing louder by the minute. She screamed and began to run the complete opposite way.
The gurgling sound continued on, but it was growing fainter as she began to gain speed. She slammed a door closed behind her and listened. Silence. She sighed in relief before looking around and questioning silently where she had gotten herself. She looked around and trotted through the large pen. It seemed almost like a maze, but one that could be navigated easily. "H-Hello?" she called. "Anypony there?" her words were greeted by a sound that sounded like a snake, and it was gaining fast. Dinky screamed, not even daring to look behind her, and ran. "Sweetie!!!" she screamed. "HELP ME!!!!

***
Sweetie woke to a start, banging her head on the table. "Ow..." she groaned, before looking to see where her friend was. To her alarm, Dinky was nowhere to be found. She began to look around in a frenzied panic, worried that Radical or Pinkamena had gotten her, before hearing, very faintly; "help! Sweetiebelle! HELP ME!!!"  Sweetie tossed on her saddlebags and ran towards the source of the voice. "I'm coming Dinky!"


***
Dinky was beginning to lose energy, and she stopped screaming because she wanted to conserve breath for running, But the hissing thing was growing closer, and before she could react, a blob of orange goo had enveloped her and tackled her to the ground. In blind panic, she thrashed around, but before long she felt a different sensation. "Hehe, st-stop!" She giggled, as the orange mass began to tickle beneath her pelt and on her skin. She squealed and thrashed around, this time in a more playful type of escape method, but before long she was out of breath. "Please... plhehease stop now...I can't breathe..."
The mass got off of her and she lay gasping for breath for a few moments. A gooey hoof reached out to help her up while a muzzle nuzzled her encouragingly. "S-Sweetie? Was this all just a prank? If so, you got me goo-" she stopped short as she saw black eyes looking gleefully into her own. "You're not Sweetie..." she said. The orange mass looked more like Pinkie Pie, actually. The tail was more bubbly, too. But instead of anything being made of bone, muscle, fur or hair, it was just an orange Pinkie made of goo. 
It made a happy rumbling sound and a laughing sound before flopping onto it's own belly and slithering in circles around Dinky's hooves. "Oh... you're just a friendly goo-pony." It looked up at her happily before making a beanbag-ponysona, with it's own head sticking out at the top. "I'm gonna need to call you something if you're gonna stay with us..." Dinky said, seemingly having already made the decision. "How about... Gooie Pie?" at this, the goo pony jumped at Dinky again, tickling her briefly. "Hah, okay, okay!" she gently pushed him off. 
Gooie Pie seemed happy to have somepony with him again, and Dinky felt the same. Although it hadn't even been an hour scince she left Sweetie, it had been lonely. Speaking of Sweetie... "Oh, Celestia forgive me! I've forgotten all about her!" Gooie looked at Dinky questioningly. Dinky looked back at her new friend. "Sweetiebelle, I mean. She's my work buddy. I forgot that I had left her behind! We need to find her if we're going to move on." Gooie nodded at this and went back onto his belly, slithering towards the exit with Dinky trailing behind.
As soon as she opened the door, she collided with Sweetie, Gooie off to one side. "Dinky! Thank Celestia I found you!" the white unicorn sounded more than relieved. Dinky looked up at her friend happily. "I got us another travelling companion!" she said, pointing to Gooie Pie. Sweetie yelped and jumped backwards. "Are you INSANE?! It could be dangerous." Dinky snorted. "Yeah, death by laughter. He's nice, Sweetie! He made me happy again, when I was scared to death. He's like Pinkie Pie. His name's Gooie Pie." she smiled widely. Sweetie still seemed unsure, but passive. "Alright, but he better not try any funny stuff. We have to keep moving, anyway."
Dinky nodded. "Let's go!" she said, before the menagerie trotted and slithered out together.
