//------------------------------// // Your Best Friend // Story: Ponytale // by Dragonfire2lm //------------------------------// Frisk continued to be puzzled by the puzzle when a voice asked if they needed help. The human turned around and saw-of all things- a talking flower. She was mostly purple with expressive purple eyes and a face that almost resembled a pony. The talking plant introduced herself as Twily and asked if Frisk was alright. The child quickly explained and Twily beamed and offered to help them. The flower led Frisk to look behind the pillars and elaborated that three pillars had a button and a picture that acted as a clue to solve the puzzle. Twily pointed to the green button with a leaf symbol and said it was like one big game of Go Fish, you just had to match the door and the switch. Frisk brightened up and- Their thanks died on their tounge as they pressed the button. A shuddering thud from behind them startled them and Frisk turned around to see they were completely trapped in the room. Twily smiled and sweetly stated that somepony would quickly come to their aid. Her smile turned cruel as she sneered that all they would find is a corpse. Frisk's SOUL was pulled into a FIGHT. They were shocked, they just simply couldn't respond as Twily ranted that they were weak, free EXP and the child's blood ran cold at the words kill or be killed. Their SOUL was boxed in as orbs of magic formed a circle around it and Twily mockingly cooed that her supposed Friendship Pellets wouldn't hurt a bit. They shut their eyes, they didn't want to die-! A bright flash of light was felt behind their scrunched up eyelids. Frisk took a chance and opened their eyes to see everything was back to normal and Twily was gone. They trembled as Tia cantered over and scolded them for leaving the room, they didn't care and clung to mare's robe utterly terrified. Tia sighed and quietly asked Frisk if they still wanted to have a picnic. They suddenly remembered the reason why they were here in the first place and asked Tia if she had gotten her phone back. Tia replied that she had and the two chatted about it while they ate.
