The Wheel and the Butterfly
A Dan X Pinkie Pie saga
Part 11 Dan & Pinkie Vs. Distractions
Part 11 Epilogue
-ooooooo-
Flynn blew air on his steaming hot mug of tea as he held it up in a bandaged hand. He along with Jean, Jennifer, and Jason all lounged in a spacious living room decorated with various colored throw pillows and different colored veils that hung from the ceiling. His wife soulmate sat down next to him as she, too, held a steaming mug of tea in one hand, and held an ice pack to her head with the other.
Flynn turned towards Jennifer. “Good thinking with the tea that really slowed Amber down.”
Jean sighed. “Yeah, I just wish there was a non-violent way to solve that problem. I sensed Amber had anger issues but she was really pushed over the edge there.”
Jennifer raised a bandaged arm enthusiastically. “Don’t forget it was Jason who had the great idea to throw a desk through the window so we could climb out.”
Flynn smiled and nodded at Jason. “Yeah, quick thinking there, Jason.”
“Thanks!” Jason replied with a smile. He stared down at his bandaged palms. “I just wish I thought of something to do about the glass after I helped everyone else get out…”
“Don’t worry,” Jennifer said as she lovingly patted her husband’s shoulder. “You did good.”
The group descended back into silence punctuated only by someone sipping from their steaming cup.
“So! Uh…” Jennifer began. “What should we do now?”
Flynn smiled. “Find a new couple’s therapist?” he suggested.
The group chuckled amongst themselves.
Jean’s expression suddenly went serious. “I think we need to rescue that poor, sweet girl from Dan’s clutches.”
Jennifer frowned. “I was thinking more like Scrabble or Apples to Apples…”
Flynn turned towards his wife. “You’re really fixated on her, huh?”
Jean shook her head. “I can’t help it! She’s so bubbly and nice! I can’t imagine why she would willingly stay with a man like Dan!”
“I don’t know…” Jason said. “Going by her story, it kind of sounded like they balance each other out.”
“Dan doesn’t need ‘balancing out’,” Jean insisted. “He needs to be incarcerated! I mean, he knocked her out with a chemical for crying out loud!”
“Well, why don’t we call the police on him?” Jennifer suggested. “I mean, he admitted to plenty of wrong doing.”
Jean shook her head. “I thought about that, but even ignoring the potential legal pitfalls of trying to use things he said in group to incriminate him with, Pinkie would probably be thrown in jail, too.”
Jennifer frowned. “I guess that doesn’t help her much.”
“Exactly,” Jean said. “We need to get that girl away from Dan and undo the damage he’s done to her!”
Jennifer frowned. “Well, I’m not going to disagree that Dan’s probably a bad influence on the girl, but how do you propose we do that? It doesn’t really seem like Pinkie wants to spend any time away from Dan…”
Jean narrowed her eyes. “Well, we’ll just have to get her away from him and keep her away until she can see Dan for the horrible monster he is!”
Flynn gave his wife a concerned look. “You want to kidnap the girl?! I can agree she needs help, but forcing her into it is pretty far from your usual outlook of letting people decide what’s best for them!”
“She’s shacked up with a maniac,” Jean stated. “I think we can safely say she hasn’t made a good decision.”
“You were going to let Dennis decide if he should stay with Dan or us, at one point!” Flynn pointed out.
From behind her brown-tinted glasses, Jean rolled her eyes. “That was before I figured out how much of a maniac Dan was.”
“Are you guys scheming in there?” a male child’s voice called out.
“No Dennis, buddy.” Flynn replied.
A small, freckle-faced child with curly-black hair, wearing a black and grey striped shirt, blue pants, and black shoes emerged from a doorway leading into the living area. “Oh well, it sounds like scheming.”
Jean looked over at her adopted son. “No Dennis, mommy and daddy where just making some plans with our therapy friends.”
“Illegal plans?” Dennis asked.
Jean frowned. “Righteous plans!” she declared.
Dennis cocked an eyebrow. “That are also illegal?”
“Dennis,” Jean began in a serious tone, “some things are so important they transcend the bounds of legality.”
Dennis frowned at his adopted mother. “Still scheming…” he muttered under his breath.
“Hey, buddy,” Flynn said with a smile. “Why don’t you keep playing with Kale for now and let the big people hash this out.”
“I would,” Dennis replied, “but Kale’s tied up right now.”
Flynn and Jean frowned.
“You mean literally,” Flynn said, “don’t you, champ?”
Dennis smiled mischievously and nodded. “Yep!”
Flynn sighed. “Are you playing hostage negotiator?”
Dennis nodded enthusiastically.
Jason and Jennifer shot each other concerned looks.
“I uh… I better get back there…” Flynn said. He followed Dennis out of the living room and down the hall.
The rest of the group followed Flynn and Dennis with their eyes briefly.
Jean continued, “So… I know this sounds a bit extreme… especially for me, but we’ve all seen and experienced what that man can do. Ask yourselves if you can really in good conscience allow that man free reign to corrupt that poor girl.”
Jason and Jennifer gave each other thoughtful looks before turning back towards Jean.
Jennifer spoke up, “What do you need us to do?”
-ooooooo-
“Hehe…” Pinkie giggled to herself as she rubbed her smooth cheek against Dan’s stubble-covered one. “Scratchy, scratchy!” She sat on Dan’s lap with her hands wrapped around her boyfriend, still wearing her striped, long-sleeved shirt and jean shorts with the addition of a cape.
Dan, likewise, was wearing his normal outfit, also with a cape. “Yeah, yeah…” Dan said with a small smile as his eyes remained focused on the TV. “I don’t see what the big deal is, I shaved a few days ago.”
“Oh, I wasn’t complaining,” Pinkie said. “Just enjoying some high quality ‘super snuggles’ with the bestest, best boyfriend in the whole wide universe!”
Dan smirked. “The universe, huh?”
“Well, d’uh!” Pinkie replied as she pulled her head back slightly to better look at Dan. “I mean, I don’t know of anyone else who beat up the king of some sort of magical teleporty land!”
Dan smiled wide. “Well, I am pretty great!”
Pinkie tightened her grip. “Yepper! So great in fact, I think it would take something pretty major to get me to move from this…” Pinkie perked up her head as she heard a soft jingle from outside. She gasped an enormous amount of air and leapt out Dan’s lap. “Dan! Ice-cream man! Uh… erm… uh…” She glanced pensively between Dan and the door to the apartment as she began to nervously skip up and down in place.
Dan rolled his eyes with a small smile. “Just go, Goofball.”
“YAY!” Pinkie cried happily. “Did I mention you’re the absolute bestest, best, boyfriend in the whole, wide universe?!”
Dan chuckled. “‘Absolute’ is new.”
“Do you want anything?” Pinkie asked enthusiastically.
“Cherry Popsicle, please. And make it quick, will you? Without you it’s not ‘super snuggles’, I’m just some weirdo who likes to watch TV in a cape.”
Pinkie giggled. “Okie-dokie-lokie!” she said as she leaned down and planted a quick peck on Dan’s lips. “I’ll be back in a jif—No! a SUPER jiffy!” Pinkie declared. With that, she extended her arms and made a long, extended “Whoosh!” noise as she ran toward to the apartment door, opened it and ran out, arms still extended in front of her as she pretended to fly.
Dan just smiled and shook his head as he went back to watching the T.V.
-ooo-
“She’s coming!” A man that looked suspiciously like Jason wearing a fake beard cried as he looked outside from a van that looked like it had a fresh coat of white paint along with some hastily added stickers of various ice cream bars. “No wait! She’s stopped.”
-ooo-
“Wait!” Pinkie cried as she stopped and stared at the van from the apartment walkway. “A man that looks suspiciously like who?!”
Nothing! Just go up to the van! Part 11 has gone on long enough as it is!
Pinkie pursed her lips and up into open space. “Are you planning something?”
Uh… yeah…
Pinkie nodded. “That’s what I thought! You have to get up particularly early to fool this pink pony turned human.”
… That ice-cream van has a proto type new type of ice cream cone! It’s uh… got ice cream at BOTH ends!
Pinkie gasped. “AWESOME!” she put her arms back out and resumed running towards the truck while saying “Whoosh!” and pretending to fly while her cape billowed behind her.
Phew… close one…
-ooo-
“No wait! She’s coming again,” the bearded man who was not suspicious in anyway said.
From inside the van Flynn and Jennifer looked at Jean.
“Do you think we can convince her to hear us out?” Flynn asked.
Jean glanced down at the rag and a plastic green bottle in her hand. “Well… if not… there’s always plan ‘B’.”
End Part 11
There are people that just want to watch their world burn...
And that's EXACTLY what'll happen to them if they manage to kidnap Pinkie
No one knows Dan the way Pinkie knows and they do not know Pinkie the way her friends know her. Doom will come to those who wedge themselves between anger and madness.
Also, quick check.
Forcing her into it is
I don't know of anyone else
I still think they should've enlisted the super-fail guy at least as a bodyguard to keep Dan from Pinkie when Dan comes after Pinkie.
Oh, and Dennis should help Dan beat said super-fail guy over the head with a lead pipe and a baseball bat. After a bank vault lands on him. (ToK fight remix!)
.....there was no VS scene to lead to the next arc....WHYYYYYYYY!?!??!?!

Got these! Thanks!
End Part 11
Why You Do This.
i wanted to see what happened..
B for Boom? I feel as though they picked up some of Dan's better qualities...
Regarding your use of the word conscious:

Heh. Yeah Tired Old Man called me out on that one. The chapter should be error free or pretty damn close at this point.
Thanks.
so we can climb
Tense shift, could climb
anyway said.”
Just clean up the quotes there.
Nothing else jumped out. As adorable as you can expect in Dan's section of California, with romantic happiness, cute family discussions, hostage negotiations, and chloroform. A sweet end to lead into a purely Dan vengeance run. (Or Evil Clone Pinkie.. who has all her skills, but is completely straight-laced and business like? Or Double Vengeance Run, with Dan on one end and Pinkie on the other, both going into a cone of destr- Hey, that two ended cone idea! Sneaky!) Who knows? Only the author knows, and he's not telling.
Let's see where this madness goes. Well done sir.
You know, I can't help but question who I'm siding with here.
I mean, that last arc was rather...mean spirited, especially dealing with Dan and Pinkie. {I can definitely see 'Filli Vanilli' Pinkie doing some of that stuff.} And given how the other two couple aren't necessarily bad people and were locked into a room by Dan after he and his friends angered Amber to the breaking point, I think they deserve a little justice. {And Pinkie and Dan a little karma comeuppance.}
Of course, she's Pinkie. Karma doesn't really work with her. {Much less logic.}
4236199
Get these! Thank you!
Hmph. If those noobs knew that Dan killed extra-dimensional incorporeal beings just to get Pinkie back, they'd think twice before kidnapping her. I kinda want to see them do it only for Pinkie to tell them that story just to see how scared they get.
Oh, man. Dan is going to go berserk on them. Probably Elise, too. I'm kind of hoping that Dave and Becky.
Awesome chapter!
Well, there goes the moral high ground.
4236756
Hehe... yeah, Definitely a tad hypocritical.
The 4th wall XD
Time for a rampage!
I wonder what the four's reaction will be if they have the misfortune to meet Pinkamena...
Point of order: Does Dan still have that Mech Elise and his mechanic threw together?
I'm just wondering if this will go down hill immediately, or if they're going in quite before the detonations start.
Also, watch them get those four arrested for kidnapping.
Meanwhile, Dan is still scot-free and he almost caused a global nuclear holocaust.
4238274
I'll probably bring back the mech or an 'upgraded' version at some point in the story, though we'll say it's still a wreck at the moment... as much fun as it would be to have part 12 be a chapter long.
'FreE cAndY' would have drawn Pinkie in faster
4238395
I considered that as an option.
If Part 12 is going to be Dan and Pinkie going all Saiyan on those who claim to be freinds, can Part 13 be total and complete unfortunate, with Dan, Pinkie,Elise and Chris going Super Saiyan on some weasly little oik from Elises works, who ,discovers, Pinkie and decides to , process her?
..Dan is gonna have to cut a few bitches.
Ok, so who's betting the property damage/bodily injury costs are gonna be somewhere in the millions?
The capes reminded me of this picture, which I fully endorse.

Why do I get the feeling that TOK have a hand in this plan? It could be the fact that they were made mention of this chapter, or at least their world was, and they threw a dracolich at Discord, so something like this isn't too farfetched.
Okay, we have already established that plan B wither involves Bees or being turned into a pony. Chloroform is plan C.
and with that, I'm calling it a night.
4402991
Huh... I wonder why I didn't think of that.
I'll probably go back and change that part later, but I think I'll call it a night, too.
No Dennis, mommy and daddy where just making some plans
That ice-cream van has a proto type new type of ice cream cone!
1. Were.
2. It's redundant. "That ice-cream van has a new prototype of an ice cream cone," should do. I can only imagine the ice cream cone now... I wish it were real and could defy gravity.
Those two new couples are complete morons. If Pinkie's secret reaches their occulory and auditory sensors which is processed by their... their... Master Control unit? Bah, I can't science well enough.
Point is, they'd probably think Pinkie (and consequently themselves if they saw the mirror) was drugged or something and they would unknowingly try to destroy all that Pinkie knows and loves.
I only have one thing to say. Hell hath no fury like a deranged Pinkamena who has had everthing taken away from her.
4387488 It's entirely possible that these 4 are really just that stupid. As a matter of fact, yeah, that's what I'm going with. They're just that stupid.
Yeah, those four "well-intentioned" idiots will die in fire.
...hey maybe Dennis will get a REAL mom and dad!
Wait, so Jean's master plan to save Pinkie from being chloroformed is to chloroform her?

1) What's wrong with having hippies for parents
and 2) Dan and Pinkie? Real parents? YES PLEASE!
4925646 Hypocrisy, HO!
4925646 Well, stupid people come up with stupid plans that, more often than not, are entirely hypocritical.
They didn't think this one through, did they? Ignoring that Pinkie IS willful, They've seen Dan operate. Nothing suggests that he'd do ANYTHING to lure somebody in so that he'd have to be near another human being.
Why would Dan want people NEAR him? He hates people.
OMG she's Pinkazoid!
Okay, this wins second best 4th wall brake.
6498405
Replying to an old comment, but the more I think about it, the more I am genuinely surprised that Pinkie and Freakazoid aren't paired up more often. They would get along so well, based on wackiness alone.
Granted, you'd be hard-pressed to find characters [who aren't obviously-bad], that Pinkie would have trouble getting along with, but my point still stands.
4925646
"Hippy" is slang for drug-addled pacifists who are typically morally and sexually loose, have worse bathing habits than children, and so anti-establishment of any sort that they oppose public schools and vaccines. Basically, they're the worst kind of people you can have as parents short of pedophiles, and even that's debatable.

Too true.
It is legend.
