"Derpy, let's just call the authorities." Carrot Top walked over to the phone on the other side of the living room, it was attached to the wall and small wires poked out of the sides of the wall. She reached out for the phone but then she felt a small tug on the back of her orange t-shirt. Quickly turning around to see who it was and it was none other than Derpy, reaching out and pulling away from the phone.

"No Carrot Top! The police might take Dinky away! I don't want to lose my muffin even more!" Dinky pleaded with her care-taker, Carrot Top tried to move out of the way so that Derpy wouldn't reach out and grab her. But as she moved further and further away, Derpy leaned forward and jumped off the couch and grabbed Carrot Top's arms.

"Let me go Derpy, we need to ring the police. This might be serious; she might have been kidnapped by a madman for what we know!" Carrot Top put her hands on Derpy's chest and began to push away from her friend, making her let go of her grip.

Both Lyra and Bon-Bon watched as Derpy and Carrot Top fought over the phone. Lyra walked over to her wife and leaned next to her head and began to whisper into her ear.

"And you thought I was childish?" Lyra whispered.

"You still are, throwing tantrums and getting angry for no reason." Bon-Bon turned her head and smiled back at her wife, playfully pushing her head away from her ear.

"I don't care much for kids, but this Dinky stuff sounds serious." Lyra admitted.

"We need to help Derpy; she would have helped us if we had a kid." Bon-Bon said.

"But we don't have any kids." Lyra shrugged back at her wife.

"We can adopt... a nice little girl or something." Bon-Bon began to blush a bright red.

"That takes too long." Lyra sighed.

"Either way, we need to do something about Derpy. Could you imagine her without Dinky? That would be painful." Bon-Bon put her hand on Lyra's back and began to rub her back lightly up and down.

"Well... I don't like Dinky... she's just like any other loud and obnoxious kid... but I'll do it for Derpy... I owe her a favour since college." Lyra got off the sofa and stretched her arms into the air, letting out a small yawn.

"Alright you two." Lyra raised her voice and yelled to both Derpy and Carrot Top.

Both Carrot Top and Derpy stopped in their tracks and turned around to see Lyra was looking at them. Derpy began to sniffle; she wiped the tears from her face and walked back over to Bon-Bon, ridiculously sitting on her lap like a child. Derpy lowered her head and rested it on top of Bon-Bon's hair, wrapping her arms around Bon-Bon's body. Carrot Top wasn't pleased, she crossed her arms and stared back at Derpy and Bon-Bon.

"Carrot Top? What's wrong with you?" Lyra quickly said, putting Carrot Top on alert.

"What? You don't want to see Dinky returned safely by the power of the authorities?" Carrot Top fired back.

"You mean you don't want to search YOURSELF with your friends?" Lyra smirked.

"What on earth are you on about?" Carrot Top raised an eyebrow at the woman in the maid’s costume.

"You're just like every single person from Canterbury: snooty, stuck up and lazy." Lyra started. "You just want to call the authorities so you don't have to search with us." Lyra finished.

"How dare you!" Carrot Top immediately reacted back, pointing a finger at Lyra.

"Please will you two just shut up...?”

Lyra and Carrot Top both stopped talking as they turned their heads to Derpy and Bon-Bon.

"Could you just let Derpy speak for a moment?" Bon-Bon gave a cold look at both Lyra and Carrot Top, feeling like she needed to punch them both in the head for their constant bickering.

Derpy unraveled herself and looked at both Carrot Top and Lyra, letting go of Bon-Bon and turning her whole body around still sitting down on her lap.

"P-please... I don't want m-my muffin to disappear..." Derpy sniffled. "C-can we g-go outside and f-find her?" She wiped the tears off her face and sniffed once more.

"Where do we start? Where would Dinky go at this time at night?" Lyra interrupted Derpy's talk.

"How about we re-cap on what happened earlier today." Bon-Bon suggested, still holding Derpy on her lap like a child.

"All we did was sun bathe in our bikinis at the park... then we watched Dinky ride the horses at the park." Lyra raised her voice, trying to explain to the group of today’s boring events.

"Horses?" Carrot Top questioned.

"Yeah, we watched this guy put Dinky on a little dumb horse and then we just watched her go around the track. I didn't stay for long though." Lyra explained to Carrot Top, still feeling sick about speaking to her, let alone giving eye contact.

"What type of man?" Carrot Top kept on questioning.

"I don't know some cowboy with a hat. We couldn't see his face... there was a shadow across it." Lyra groaned.

"Did he look a little suspicious?" Carrot Top asked Lyra once again.

"The hell should I know? He just likes entertaining kids." Lyra threw her arms up into the air in a fit.

"Okay, calm down." Bon-Bon interrupted again. "Do you think the park would be a good place to start a search? She did like the horses there; maybe she went back to the small shack to see the horses or something." Bon-Bon said.

"Dinky doesn't like animals." Carrot Top scoffed. "I don't allow animals in my house."

"Yet, you're living in one yourself?" Lyra giggled.

"I don't see how me being an animal would help the situation, lesbian." Carrot Top crossed her arms.

"It's just a little theory, Carrot Top. I don't think Dinky would actually go back to a small shack full of animals without Derpy's permission." Bon-Bon tried to butt in.


Dinky lay still in the middle of the candy stall, sitting down on the floor with her vision being blocked by her own hands. She didn't want to see Ditzy fall from the top of the cardboard boxes and hurt herself. Any possible sight of blood or bruise marks on the gray mare was enough to make the child feel light-headed. Dinky moved her hands out of the way to see what happened around her.

The whole inside of the stall was trashed; the entire side of the stall was destroyed. The cardboard boxes that Ditzy was climbing on had fallen out of place and a few of them were scattered around the floor. Some of the candy jars on the top of the shelves had fallen off and landed on the wooden floor. Surprisingly they didn't smash, but the lids that contained the candy had fallen off and spilled out nearly all of the candy.

Dinky rose up from the ground and slowly walked over to the cardboard boxes, mindlessly pushing them out of the way trying to look for the gray mare under the pile of boxes.

"Ditzy? Where are you?" Dinky began to worry, double the fear and worry she started to get when the mare started to climb the shelves it was starting to feel a little overwhelming for the child. Continuing to move the boxes out of the way to find the gray mare Dinky noticed a small patch of room that wasn't affected by the recent damage. She looked closer and saw a gray body. A small smile drew itself across the child's face and she immediately turned herself towards the gray coating.

"Ditzy is that you?" Dinky raised her voice, loud enough for the mare to hear her.

The ears that stuck out from the tall boxes suddenly perked upwards, Dinky smiled and rushed over towards the mare, not caring if she was kicking the boxes out of the way with her feet. Even if she didn't have any shoes on, she needed to get to the other side of the room to Ditzy.

Dinky finally made it to the other side where Ditzy was lying down on the floor, her whole body was lying down on the ground in a resting position and the mare dug her head into one of the glass jars, half empty candy still lying inside. Dinky saw what the mare was doing as Ditzy stuck her tongue inside the glass jar to pick up the jelly beans that she had acquired earlier.

"Ditzy? What are you doing?" Dinky childishly giggled out loud, quickly standing next to the mare’s side patting her on the back.

Ditzy turned her head and saw who it was; she smiled and then returned to her job trying to get the jelly beans out of the glass jar continuing to stick her tongue into the deepest crevices of the jar to get the tasty jelly beans.

"C'mon, we need to get out of here!" Dinky patted Ditzy on the back and turned round to pick up her tail with her hands; she began to lightly tug on the gray mare’s tail and began to pull. Ditzy didn't move at all as she continued to eat her delicious jelly beans.

"I want to see Scootaloo now!" Dinky whined, still pulling on the mare’s tail trying to get her to move.

Ditzy didn't move at all, she continued to dip her mouth into the glass jar with the jelly beans inside of it. She ignored the child and continued her job trying to get the final handful of jellybeans into her mouth.

"Are you going to move at all?" Dinky threw her arms up into the air, this was the second time that Ditzy ignored what Dinky was doing. She was starting get a little irritated at what the gray mare was doing, stalling all of the time for her own personal needs instead of taking her to Scootaloo at the park where the stables and small wooden shacks were.

"You know what!" Dinky raised her voice and began to shout, still waving her arms up into the air.

Ditzy stopped what she was doing and she turned her head towards the small human child, the mare took note of the child's anger and irritation. She knew that staying around the candy stall was going to make her even more angry and just the simple desire for food was starting to make the child upset. Ditzy needed to think fast to make sure that she didn't run home and ruin her plans.

"I might as well go home an-" Dinky began to speak again towards the gray mare, raising her voice every two words that she spoke out. But as she began to turn around to leave the candy shack, she felt yet another tugging feeling on the back of her t-shirt. Dinky began to groan out loud and she turned around to see what Ditzy wanted this time.

"What?" Dinky impatiently yelled, she crossed her arm and frowned at the gray mare.

Ditzy let of Dinky's t-shirt and turned her head towards one of the jars full of candy, it was a large jar made out of thick glass with jelly babies inside of it. Dinky uncrossed her arms and stared at the glass jar along with Ditzy; the mare crawled over to the glass jar and picked it up by placing her mouth around the top of the lid. She lifted it up and placed it in front of Dinky, using her hooves to take off the lid allowing the child to take the contents on the inside.

Ditzy pushed the jar over onto its side, allowing the jelly babies to fall out like a small tsunami. Spilling all over the place next to Dinky's naked and dirty feet, she took a step back wondering what the mare was trying to tell her.

"Y-you want me to take some?" Dinky pointed at herself whilst looking at Ditzy.

The mare nodded her head up and down and then lowered her head and used the tip of her nose to push certain jelly babies towards Dinky's little feet. Dinky hesitated at first but then leaned down to the ground to pick up a few jelly babies. She picked up a small handful of jelly babies and slowly put them to the outside of her mouth, her senses didn't want her to eat the jelly babies as they had landed onto the dirty wooden floor. But the mare was watching her and she looked like she was hoping that the child would eat the jelly babies.

The mare moved closer to the child and began to show a little smile and the moved up closer to the child’s hands, watching the jelly babies going to be eaten by her. Dinky slowly lifted up her arm and began to put the jelly babies into her mouth, tasting their fruity combinations all together. Dinky felt this small situation was like the time Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon made her eat dirt during one of the worst days during her time at school.

Dinky began to chew on the jelly babies and adjusted herself to the flavours that came out of them; she wrapped her tongue around the chewy candy and began to swallow the remains into her throat. Leaving a loud gulping sound, resulting in an even bigger smile from the gray mare. She began to walk around Dinky to her backside and she lowered herself, Dinky knew what was going to happen, she stood still waiting for what Ditzy was going to do.

The mare crawled through the child’s legs and positioned her hooves in the correct places on the wooden floor and began to lift up the child onto her back. Without much trouble once again she lifted up Dinky onto her back without any problems, Dinky immediately grabbed onto Ditzy's mane and began to hold on as the mare started to trot out of the candy stall leaving the damage uncleaned and intact for its owner to clean up.
