The policemare had been standing there for about five minutes. Finally, a tall yellow pegasus answered the door. "Can I help you?" "Oh, um.. Yes!" The policemare pulled a sheet of paper from her saddlebags. "Are you Mr. Evergreen Sprout?" "Yes mam. What seems to be the problem?" The policemare frowned. She hated this part of her job the most. "Mr. Evergreen, your daughter's gone missing." _______________________________________________________________ Smiles took a deep breath. "Come on. You can do this. One... two... three!" She darted across the rooftop, stopping at the edge. It had taken over two hours, but she had finally gotten the hang of using these strange legs. "Yesyesyes!! Finally!" She grinned at the city below. "All right folks! The Jester's gonna put on a show for you!" She pulled a gigantic rubber hammer from her saddlebags, which had helpfully transformed into a backpack, and set off, bouncing and dashing her way across the city. Smiles laughed as she dropped down to street level. These people were so easily startled! She hopped on top of a cab and began leaping from car to car. Several people began honking at her, but she just laughed harder. "Whatsa matter folks? You never seen a superpony before?" She leaped onto a truck and used her hammer to bounce onto a ledge. During her performance, storm clouds had rolled in and lightning began to flash. Smiles tucked away her hammer and pulled out a purple polka-dotted umbrella. "Halt, mortal!" Smiles looked up and saw a man with long blond hair in battle armour flying towards her. "You have tormented the people of this fair city long enough! Now you shall-" "Hold on a sec, mister. Torment? NonononoNO, sir I perform!" Smiles grinned at the man who continued to frown at her. "Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta find shelter from the storm." She leaped of the ledge, used her umbrella to float down, and began to walk off. Suddenly, she teleported back, hanging from his ankles. "Also, WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE?!" Cackling, she dropped back to the street and ran off. Thor considered showing this foolish child what the God of Thunder can do, but he decided against it. After all, she hadn't done anything wrong. Nevertheless, she seemed dangerous. Thor flew off to report his encounter to the other Avengers. ________________________________________________________________ Smiles sat on a fire escape in an alley, rummaging through her backpack. From the outside it looked empty, but there were in fact all sorts of things, some of which had been lost to the ages. There was King Arthur's crown, an Impressionist painting, several sets of keys, the blacksmith, and even the Seventh Element of Harmony. There was also a wide selection of weapons, helmets, suits, and clothing. Smiles finally pulled out a pair of jeans, a pink t-shirt, and a pair of flats. After changing, Smiles pulled the scrunchie from her ponytail and put everything into her bag. "Well let's see how well I can blend in." And she walked off, blending into the crowded streets of the city.
