Edit: Or they where. Now they're here with the original version of this.

Pinkie smiled exuberantly as she brought her running chainsaw down on a long, thin, piece of wood sticking vertically out of the ground in the dark, starry night. Sawdust sprayed her black sweater and black pants as her saw made a neat, diagonal cut through the wood.
“Timber!” She shouted as the large, blue ‘Welcome to IDAHO’ sign teetered forward and crashed on the ground.
Dan grinned evilly as he turned over a rectangular, large, red, metal gas canister and emptied a clear substance onto the sign.
He handed Pinkie a box of matches. “Would you like to do the honors?” He asked, smiling at the pink haired woman.
Pinkie grinned wide with an audible ‘squee’ and took the matches. She quickly lit one and flung it on the downed sign which erupted in a blaze of fire.
The two quickly made their way to the nearby red hatchback, laughing the entire way.
“Our work is done.” Dan announced happily as he buckled his seatbelt, Pinkie doing the same from the passenger seat. He reached into his pocket and handed Pinkie a notepad.
Pinkie gleefully accepted the notepad and flipped towards the back. She flipped it to the page that read IDAHO in glittery, pink letters and enthusiastically scribbled over the state’s name.
“Geez,” Pinkie began, “Could you believe how many virgins they were going to sacrifice at that Square Dancing event?!” Pinkie said, looking across to Dan
Dan shrugged. “They’re Square Dancers, they’re just bad people.”
Dan started the car and turned to Pinkie. “Where to?”
Pinkie paused and grinned mischievously. “My back is itchy…”
Dan smiled wide. “Vegas, eh? I’ll drive fast.”
Dan pulled the car onto the highway and the red hatchback sped off from the scene of the crime into the night. Its occupants giggling and chuckling at their victory over the Gem State.
Dan reached for a cassette tape as he drove on. He felt a hand on his and looked up into Pinkie’s smiling face.
“I have a better idea.” She said. “How many punk songs do you suppose you and I know?”
“Uhh, I’m not sure if we know seven hours’ worth...” Dan replied.
He smiled wide. “But I guess we’ll find out.”
Pinkie beamed happily in reply.
***
Dan grumbled from the couch as he was awoken by the flickering TV. An infomercial played staring people Dan would never care about advertising nothing Dan wanted or needed.
Pinkie gently snoozed away in her pink dress, leaning against Dan’s shoulder.
Dan mumbled inaudibly to himself as he dragged a palm over his face. “Ah, come on, Billy! We’ll clean the bathroom tomorrow, alright?” Dan irritably pleaded into the otherwise empty apartment.
The TV shut off leaving the roommates in darkness and silence on the couch.
“Stupid, jerk ghost…” Dan mumbled under his breath
Dan and Pinkie had made it home after a couple days of traveling and winning obscene amounts of money from casinos, and had sat down to relax together and watch some TV on their return. At some point, both Pinkie and Dan had fallen fast asleep.
Dan turned to the slumbering Pinkie Pie and sighed.
Looks like it’s my job to drag you to bed…
…again.
He grabbed one of Pinkie’s arms and slung it over his shoulder, and then grabbed the other arm and place its hand on the wrist draped by his neck.
Dan bent down and shimmied an arm under Pinkie’s knees, and placed another on her back. Pinkie giggled softly as Dan lifted her up, she instinctively held on tight and nuzzled herself into his chest as Dan began trudging towards the bedroom.
Dan felt his heart beat quicken to an alarming pace at the contact, and he suddenly felt a warmness in his face he was unaccustomed to.
Am…am I having a heart attack?!
Dan made haste to the bedroom, stepping over expensive looking silver cases that littered the ground of the apartment. He quickly, but carefully deposited the sleeping Pinkie Pie on the bed.
Pinkie curled up on top of the covers and continued her gentle snoozing. Small beams of streetlight eked in through the blinds across her pink dress, pink hair, and light skin. The hints of a smile at the corners of her lips.
Dan turned and practically dove into the bathroom, feeling his forehead as the hot feeling continued and his heart continued to beat rapidly.
Maybe I’m coming down with something…
Dan threw open the medicine cabinet and began unscrewing lids, and depositing pills into his palm. He rushed out of the bathroom towards the kitchen sink, filled a glass with water, put the pills in his mouth, and then took a drink, swallowing the pills.
A few seconds of attempting to control his breathing later, and Dan was back to normal. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bedroom.
The feeling hit Dan like a bus impacting an unsuspecting library patron, or a hatch to the back of a vehicle coming down on an unassuming gas station attendants head. His heart leapt in his chest and he felt warm all over as he gazed at the sleeping figure of his roommate; snoozing and smiling to herself in the night as pink curls framed her sleeping face that glowed in the dim light.
Oh no…
Dan felt his world collapse around him. The last, worn and weary barriers around his heart buckled and toppled. For the first time and quite some time, he felt scared and vulnerable.
He turned and ran towards the apartment door. He flung it open and stepped into the cool California night, shutting it behind him.
He balled his hands into fists, threw his arms into the air, and shouted at the heavens.
“LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE!”
Dan Vs.
<3 <3 <3 LOVE <3<3<3

HA! Dis Gonna' be Good!
Silly Dan, you can't fight Love. You'll only make it STRONGER. It's kinda like shooting the Hulk.
3463958 Dan can fight and win against anything. The question is of what the results of that will be. Or if he wants to or not. Some type of clever remark.
finally
3463958 Oh you silly fighting love is easy C: I would say how its easy but you might end up as a miserable living husk of death and hatred like me.
3464356
Oh, you mean like how he "won" against that Telemarketer?
YYYYYEEEEAAAA!
Didn't he already have a girlfriend before? Multiple times, actually, and that's not counting Hortense.
However, one could argue that this is the first time he has ever been emotionally vulnerable towards anyone. Even with Hortense, he kept up his suave demeanor.
I'm just going to sit back and cross my fingers he doesn't screw this up. But, alas, we all know he will.
346687 Oh shoot, Hortense! I really hope she shows up at the worst possible moment for maximum comedic effect.
Poor Dan...

*Takes a swig from his drink as he nears the end of the chapter*
Looks like this is where the ship starts sailing...
*Sees the end of the chapter, stiflling a milk-filled guffaw by choking it down his lungs*
YOU CAN'T PULL THAT HILARIOUS **** WHEN I'M TAKING A DRINK, DANGIT!
I look forward to seeing how Dan goes about getting revenge on Love. Why wasn't that an episode?
Well, my friends, it's been fun, but now I must go home and prepare for tonight's ststorm.
Also, dn it, fluttercensor!
346629 Yet you read to chapter 45 to decide that? You sir, are the King of Idiots in Idiotnisia
By the way, if anything is shit it's your name.

Also, for both of you. If you got banned, it was for a reason that you deserved. The only way to get banned is by breaking a rule. Don't say you didn't cause I know you did. Don't use the excuse 'I didn't know it was a rule' cause you probably did and if you didn't then that makes you more of an idiot.
346687 And also, the ENTIRE story isn't supposed you make you laugh or smile with every word, of course there's some dull chapters, or just plain weird ones (like this) but ONE chapter doesn't make the entire story horrible and if this entire story is bland, then that means you do not have the ability to smile or laugh. If you meant the entire story was shit from first word to end, why did you wait till chapter 45 to voice you opinion and not chapter 1 or 2, it even makes since till wait till 5 or 10 to say it. Also, why don't you stop complaining about it to people who don't care about you or your opinions since we don't know you and go do something about it such as: Write your own story, give constructive criticism and don't be an asshole (like I am right now), or, better yet, go outside and tan that ghost skin of yours.
Edit: For the author only: Sorry about clogging up your comments section, but people like him annoy me.

I think the comments got borked somehow and these comments are for a different story entirely.
I don't know what's going on, but the earliest comment on this story is 3188772. The ones you've responded to aren't even hitting seven digits and seem to be over two years old.
At the very least, they're not showing up in on my chapters and I don't remember anyone ever showing up to declare any of my fan-fictions as so universally terrible. Though, I do see one of the reader responses is to a six digit comment.
Very strange. Anyhow, it seems this Commander Ponysun is hecka banned and the comments come from this story. Back in the early days of the site where I'm guessing moderation rules where far less strict.
Short chapter means short corrections, so this one's in the comments instead of PM.
Delete these commas.
Shouldn't be capitalized.
Periods should be commas.
large, red, rectangular metal gas canister
Need a comma after 'sign'.
Missing period at the end.
night, its
starring
Comma after 'off'.
Missing period at the end.
attendant's
This should be a comma.
in quite some time
I love what you did here with the ending and I would have been disappointed had you done anything else.
