The Wheel and the Butterfly
A Dan X Pinkie Pie saga
Part 10 Dan & Pinkie Vs. Interspecies Relationship
Chapter 85 Pinkie Vs. Needle
-ooooooo-
“I guess you better call Elise and Chris back in, huh?” Pinkie suggested to her boyfriend.
“But I’m having such a lovely time on the floor,” Dan said sarcastically has he rolled his eyes.
“I can make it so you really enjoy it~!” Pinkie sang out.
Twilight chuckled as Dan quickly thrust his hand into his jeans pocket and pulled out his smartphone.
“I’m calling! I’m calling!” Dan declared has he reached for his phone.
-o-
“Hic…Hhehhh…hehh… But I was just trying to help!” Elise declared shrilly as she choked back tears.
She and Chris sat in the front seats of a large white van that was parked in front of Casa Paradiso.
“I know, honey,” Chris said as he rested a comforting hand on his wife’s shoulder, “but both Dan and Twilight seem to be having a really tough time with Pinkie… maybe they bonded over it.”
“But… but…that’s not fair!” Elise declared. “I was the one who was supposed to bond with the magical alicorn princess over this experience! She even hated Dan just a bit ago! Sniff… And then she yelled at me because I got angry with him! IT’S JUST NOT FAIR! Whouaaahhehhhhhehhhh…”
Chris paused as he heard his phone ring. He reached into his pocket, pressed the screen, and placed the phone next to his ear. “Hey, Dan.”
“Chris! I need you two to get back in here toot sweet and… is Elise crying?!”
“Yeah, Dan… she took Twilight yelling at her pretty hard,” Chris explained.
Elise quickly dried her eyes as the opened up wide, “Hey! Don’t tell him that!”
Dan sighed heavily, “Is it universal freak out day for everyone?!” Dan cried. “Everywhere I turn it’s people fainting and crying and losing their damned minds! MY GIRLFRIEND IS A DIFFERENT SPECIES THAN ME, HAS EATEN MY SHIRT, AND IS FIGHTING THE URGE TO GET BUSY WITH ME FROM ON TOP OF MY CHEST! And yet, somehow, I’ve managed to not make an idiot out of myself today! Could everyone just please just get it together for a few measly hours!?”
Chris put on an unamused expression. “So I take it you’re ready for us to come back in?” he asked flatly.
“That would be good,” Dan replied. He pressed a button on his screen and terminated the call.
Twilight and Pinkie exchanged quick frowns and looked back at Dan, “Sorry, Dan…” they uttered simultaneously.
Dan sighed, “Don’t worry about it…”
“Don’t worry, Dan!” Pinkie said with a smile. “I’ll cheer you up.”
Dan gave his girlfriend a suspicious look, “Uh, that’s okay Pinkie… I’m… what are you doing?”
Pinkie suddenly began wiggling her body from on top of Dan. The attentive, focused look started to give way to the hungry, slightly crazed look Dan was used to seeing. “Just think,” Pinkie said as her lips begin to widen into a large smile, “there’s just a thin layer of cotton separating the two of us…”
Dan swallowed and leaned his head back to get a look at Twilight, “We’re losing her, Sparkles.”
“I noticed,” Twilight said with a touch of concern as Pinkie leaned her face down next to Dan’s and began sniffing his hair.
“Pa…Pinkie?” Dan stuttered out. “Stay with me. remember how sorry you were for all this just a bit ago?”
“Oh Yeaaaaah…” Pinkie said trailing off with a smile, “… noooooo…” she added with a frown. She quickly smiled again, “Hey Dan! Guess what! Guess what! Guess what, guess what, guesswhat, guesswhat, guesswhat!”
Dan sighed, “I smell nice?”
“You smell…” Pinkie’s eyes and smile grew wide and wild, “Oooh, are you psychic…?”
Dan shook his head, “Just good at guessing.”
Pinkie grinned and began to shimmy lower on Dan’s body, “Can you guess what’s going to happen next?”
Dan swallowed and leaned his head back to look at Twilight, “Uh… Twilight?”
Twilight looked at Dan with a pensive grin, “You don’t think Flash or someone else would just randomly barge in again, do you?”
Dan furrowed his brow at the purple alicorn, “You could always… oh I don’t know… LOCK THE DOOR!”
“Oh...” Twilight replied as her eyes widened slightly in realization, “…right,” she added with a sheepish grin.
Dan felt his jeans slowly drift from his legs to down around his legs. “SPARKLER! HURRY IT UP!”
“Hiya, Twilight!” A voice called from the mirror.
Dan smacked a palm against his face.
“Spike!” Twilight called out in alarm, “Now is not a good time!”
“Uh… it’s not a good time to come home?” Spike asked in a confused tone.
Twilight nodded, “Yes!”
“Uh… are we interrupting?” Chris asked as he stood into the doorway and raised an eyebrow.
“Hiya, Chris!” Pinkie said cheerfully as she pulled Dan’s jeans down to around his ankles.
“Chris! Get out of the way of the mirror!” Dan commanded.
“No, Chris!” Twilight called out in a pleading tone. “Please stay exactly where you are!”
Chris put on a confused expression and froze in place
“Uh… what’s going on?” Spike asked.
“NOTHING! Go BACK outside!” Twilight commanded.
Elise poked her head into the room, “Uh… hey guys… can I come in, now?”
“I can take a seeing a few weird monsters, Twilight,” Spike insisted.
“That’s NOT the problem!” Twilight cried.
“Then what is the problem!?” Spike asked.
“SPARKLER! SHE’S MAKING HER WAY BACK UP MY LEGS!” Dan cried.
Pinkie giggled.
“IN A MOMENT, DAN!” Twilight called back.
“I DON’T HAVE A MOMENT!”
“Maybe I can help,” Elise said as she produced a small, metal, chrome cylindrical object that seemed to encase a light blue liquid of some sort. She walked into the bathroom and leaned down next to Dan and Pinkie. She ran a couple fingers over Pinkie’s forearm.
Pinkie looked up at Elise and the device in her hand, “Oh! Are you joining in?” She asked with a smile.
Dan looked at the item quizzically, “Don’t tell me that thing emits high frequency pleasure waves.”
“No, and no,” Elise informed as she gave a nod to Dan then Pinkie. She pulled out a black, felt pen and made a mark on Pinkie’s arm. “It’s an injection,” she informed.
Pinkie suddenly froze.
Dan frowned, “You’re going to inject Pinkie with the T-virus? I’m not that desperate!”
Elise furrowed her brow at Dan, “No Dan, it’s just a sedative.”
Pinkie looked up at Elise, the wild hungry look began to flee from her face is a fearful look quickly took root and grew to every inch of the pink mare’s face, “Uh…injection? As in shot? As in…” Pinkie gulped, “…needle?”
Elise took note of her friend’s pensive look, “It’s alright, Pinkie… it’s just a small needle…”
Pinkie suddenly dove off of Dan and placed her back against the end of the bathroom, “Well, would you lookie there!” she said as she forced a worried smile onto her face. “Looks like my heat went away just in time!”
Dan took this opportunity and grabbed his jeans and pulling them back up around his boxers. He quickly pulled up the zipper and stood back on his feet.
“Wait… what’s going on?” Twilight asked.
Chris looked behind him and glanced at the purple alicorn, “Apparently the prospect of getting a shot has sudden, urge reducing properties on Pinkie… except for the urge to not get a shot…”
Twilight nodded, “Makes sense, Pinkie does suffer from needle phobia…”
“Can I stay now?” Spike asked.
“GEE! Sure does seem like my strong, near uncontrollable urge to ride Dan until he can’t tell up from down is gone!” Pinkie said as she attempted to force a convincing smile.
“…What? Ride?” Spike asked.
Twilight smacked a forehoof against her face and shook her head, “Spike, why don’t you take a nice, long, bubble bath?”
“Uh, sounds great Twilight, but I’m actually hungry…” Spike replied.
Twilight sighed, “Spike, go take a bath and I’ll bring you dinner.”
Spike’s eyes widened as his jaw nearly unhinged, “You’re going to let me eat in the tub?!” he cried. “Can I… can I get ice cream?!”
“Sure! Fine! Whatever! Just go!” Twilight said.
Spike beamed from ear to ear. “Alright Twilight! You’re the best roommate ever!” Spike declared as he rushed for the bathroom.
Elise tossed a look over to Dan, “It’s you who really has to deal with this. What do you think?”
Dan cocked an eyebrow as he removed the near useless tatters of his black t-shirt from his body, “I think my wardrobe is now down a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and that the last hour has been really, really weird. I’d like to at least reestablish some normalcy here.”
Chris, Elise, and Twilight all glanced at Dan and raised an eyebrow at him.
Dan folded his arms over his bare chest and rolled his eyes, “Relatively speaking, of course.”
“Pa-pa-pa-PLEASE DAN!” Pinkie cried. “I’ll be good! I promise.” Tears began to stream from Pinkie’s eyes as she continued to stand on her back legs and press herself against the wall and window behind her. “Don’t give me a ShoOoOoOoOoOoOT!”
Elise put on an earnest smile, “You’ll barely feel it! I promise!”
“But it’s going to HurURurURurURurURT!” Pinkie cried as she puffed out her lower lip and tears continued to fall from her eyes.
“Pinkie!” Twilight called. “I’m sorry, but I think this has to be done! We can’t really help you if you’re going to attach yourself to Dan!”
Pinkie’s eyes frantically darted from the item in Elise hand to all of her friends. Without warning she turned and attempted to open the window.
“Pinkie! Wait!” Twilight pleaded, “You can’t go outside!”
“She won’t…” Dan said.
“GAAAH!” Pinkie screeched in frustration. “STUPID NAILS!” she cried as she glared angrily at the nails she herself had hammered in earlier.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned with a panicked expression.
Dan stood mere inches away from her and regarded her with a soft look. “Hey, it’ll be alright…”
Pinkie shook her head as she bit her lower lip and tears poured from her eyes. “Na…no it won’t!” Pinkie sobbed out. “It’s going to hurt!”
“Look, if you can promise to keep yourself under control, we won’t have to give you the injection.”
Pinkie made a loud, phlegmy sniff, “Snnifffgh…Really?!” Pinkie said hopefully.
Dan wrapped an arm around Pinkie’s shoulders, “I swear on my mother's life,” he answered softly.
“Thanks Dan,” Pinkie said as she closed her eyes and leaned her body against Dan, wrapping her arms around him in a hug, “you’re the best boyfriend ever…sniff…sniff…Also, you smell ni-OUCH!”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought…” Dan said as he pulled the injection device out of the black mark on Pinkie’s arm.
Pinkie quickly pushed Dan away, “You son of a BIIIiiiiiiiiiii…” Pinkie’s eyes rolled back in her head as it wobbled from side to side. She quickly fell to the floor in a heap with a soft ‘Thump.’.
Dan passed the injection device back to Elise, “Jokes on you, I hate my mom.” Dan turned to Elise. “How long will that keep her under control?”
Elise shrugged, “With Pinkie’s metabolism, who knows? I erred on the side of caution in regards to her body weight, too… I didn’t want to hurt her.”
Twilight breathed a relieved sigh, “Phew…Good work, Elise. Maybe we can finally make some progress here.”
Elise beamed wide and nodded at Twilight.
Pinkie began to giggle crazily from the floor.
Everyone glanced down at the pink mare.
“Pinkie,” Dan began in an inquisitive tone, “are you okay?”
“Daaaaan… hehehehehehe… the floor feels AWESOME-POSSUM!” she declared. “Come feel it with me!”
“Uhhh… that’s okay,” Dan said. “I just spent an hour down there, I remember how it feels.”
Pinkie looked up at Dan with large, glassy eyes. Her pupils had dilated to the point where her sky-blue irises where barely visible, “But what if the floor has changed since then?”
Dan looked up at Elise with a knitted brow and raised eyebrow and motioned to Pinkie with both hands.
“What!” Elise protested, “She’s a pink pony from another dimension! All I could do is treat her like a medium-sized mammal and hope for the best! How would I know she’d start acting weird…?”
Everyone turned and stared at Elise.
“Alright, weirder…” Elise stressed.
“Well, she’s pretty strange even by pony standards,” Twilight pointed out. “At least she’s relatively calm, now.”
Pinkie began to lick the side of the bathtub, “Hehehehe… The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!” she announced as before going back to licking the side of the tub.
“What the heck was in that thing?!” Dan demanded.
“Uh… horse tranquilizer,” Elise said with a nervous grin.
“… Your plan was to drug Pinkie?!” Dan shouted. “She already acts like she’s on drugs!” he said as he emphatically motioned out with his hands. “I know thinking isn’t your strong suite, but how could you possibly think that was a good idea?!”
“What! She’s a horse, so I gave her something for horses!” Elise said. “I thought it was a pretty safe bet.”
“Ohmygosh, GUYS!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Hehehehe… I just was just thinking how awesome it would be if I were my favorite color and it worked!”
Dan glanced down at Pinkie then back up to Elise. “You know what?” he said. “I’m just going to take this one. Pinkie’s not screaming or trying to tear my clothes off…” Dan’s eyes shot open wide as he felt arms wrap around his legs, he stared down as Pinkie began enthusiastically rubbing her cheek against his jeans. “Uh… Goofball? What are you doing?”
“Your jeans feel like BLUE!” Pinkie announced.
“Riiiiiight…” Dan said as he looked down at the pink mare. He turned to look at Chris, “Hey, Monkey-face, would you mind grabbing Pinkie? Kinda hoping she’s not going to attach herself to me again”
“Uh… sure Dan…” Chris reached down and hooked his hands under Pinkie’s arms.
“Hehehe… That tickles,” Pinkie said.
Chris lifted the pink pony up. To everyone’s relief, she didn’t wrap her arms around Dan this time.
“Whooaaa…” Pinkie said as Chris held her up above the ground. “Am I… am I a pegasus now?! I think I’m flying!”
Chris backed up a few steps towards the bathroom doorway.
Dan looked at Twilight, “I think you’re good to go find orange horse.”
Twilight sighed, “Love to, except I just promised a baby-dragon lunch.”
Dan frowned, “Hang in there, Twilight.”
“Duuuuuuuuude…” Pinkie uttered as she stared at her hooves. “My hooves are huuuuuuuge!” She announced as she held her hooves away from each other. “They can touch anything but themselves…” Pinkie slowly placed her hooves together, “Oh wait…”
“Yeah, you too, Dan,” Twilight said with a small smile as she trotted out of sight.
Elise whimpered quietly.
“What?” Chris whispered.
“Why does Dan get to have a moment with Twilight? I want to have a moment!” Elise whispered back.
“Moments… moments… moments…” Pinkie began to murmur, “Here now but gone in a… moment… tee-hee! I’m a poet and didn’t know it!” Pinkie gasped. “Hey! That rhymed.”
Dan cocked an eyebrow at Chris and Elise, “You two dorks know this is a tiny bathroom and I’m standing literally a few feet from you and can hear everything you’re saying, right?”
Elise puffed put her lower lip, “Okay but… now that Pinkie isn’t in constant need of attention…”
“Oooo! Cotton candy!” Pinkie cried as she snatched a lock of her hair and shoved it in her mouth, “Om nom nom…Oh sfweet Ceffesfia! Iffs swooo goooood! If’s beffer than I could have dreaffed!”
“Uh… magic attention…” Elise corrected, “…do you think I can spend some time with Twilight? You know… for the sake of turning Pinkie back.”
Dan rolled his eyes, “Yes, yes, you two nerds can talk science stuff and geek out to your hearts’ content. I’m sure you two will get on like an orphanage on fire. Chris and I can keep an eye on Pinkie.”
Pinkie stared off into space as she raised one of her back legs up to her mouth and and absentmindedly gnawed on her hoof.
Elise grinned wide. “Thanks Dan!” she said as she leaned down to plant a small peck on the short man’s cheek. “You’re the best.”
Chris’s and Dan’s jaws unhinged as Dan raised a hand up to his cheek.
Elise stared back at Dan as the color began to drain from her face.
“El…Elise?” Dan stammered out. “Did you… did you just …?”
“Uh… you know? There’s no telling what just happened…” Elise offered.
“Guys?” Pinkie interrupted, “I think I’m really bucking high… I’m sure I just saw Elise smooch Dan on the cheek.” Pinkie's eye suddenly shot open wide, "Also, there's a magic leprechaun who keeps showing up to grant me wishes!"
Elise froze and place and stared slack jawed out into open space.
“Right, everyone out of the bathroom,” Dan commanded. “I think I’ve earned the right to freak out, here.”
“Sa…sure Dan…” Chris stammered out.
“Do I have to smooch Chris’s cheek?” Pinkie asked.
“Uh… no…” Dan replied as he knitted his brow at the pink mare.
Pinkie frowned, “Oh, I’m pretty sure I do…” Pinkie gasped, “… otherwise the universe will be out of balance!”
Dan sighed, “You know what? I don’t even care. Go ahead, give his cheek a good lick!”
“YAY!” Pinkie said enthusiastically.
“Wait, Dan-WHOA!” Chris cried as Pinkie squirmed in his grip to face the tall man. She threw herself at Chris causing him to fall backwards into the hall and began enthusiastically licking his cheek.
“Hehehe… Your cheek taste like bacon!” Pinkie declared.
“Uh… Thanks… I-OW! Stop biting!” Chris said.
“Dan, do you still have Everclear?” Elise asked. “I need to sanitize my lips… and maybe get a little drunk.”
Dan nodded, “It’s under the sink.”
“Right…” Elise quickly swiveled on her feet and stepped out into the hall. “You’re driving,” she announced to Chris as she stepped over her husband and the pink pony that was busily attacking his face.
“Pinkie?” Dan called.
Pinkie suddenly shot up and twisted her head nearly 180 degrees to face Dan with a sickening sounding, ‘crack’, “Yes Dan, my boyfriend, my lover-dover?”
Dan flinched at Pinkie’s bizarre ability to turn her head to such an extreme angle. “Go uh… go wrap yourself in the bed sheets and pretend you’re a burrito.”
Pinkie’s eyes shot open as she opened her mouth wide, “THAT’S THE BEST IDEA ANYONE HAS EVER HAD EVER!” She announced.
“Yeah, I know,” Dan said. He looked at Chris, “Hopefully you can smuggle her out if she’s covered.”
Chris nodded, “Oh, good thinking.
Pinkie looked down at Chris, “Chris! CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRIS!”
“Uh… yeah Pinkie?” Chris replied with a confused expression.
“Hi, Chris.” Pinkie replied.
“Uh… Hey, Pinkie.”
Dan sighed and closed the door to the bathroom and walked over to the bath, he turned the handle on the facet to as hot as it would go and let the water run.
Now to see if I can scrub an entire layer of skin off my cheek…
Elise kissed Dan...
Pinkie is best stoner.
fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/322/3/2/frog_face_pinkie_pie_meme_by_hewylewis-d5ldxuv.png
Thus my belief that Pinkie is best Pony has been reinforced.
3992090 i cant wait to see what it's like when she gets the munchies. especially considering how much she can normally eat.
Awesome chapter!
Elise.... kissed .....dan...........................
(on the cheek but still)

Great Chapter By the way
Have you ever read Homestuck? Dan's relationship with Elisa starts to make a bit more sense.<3<
Now that I think about it so does his relationship with Chris.<>
I think Dan might be more Troll then man.(he does ware a black shirt with his "symbol" on it)
i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/222/802/dan_vs_karkat_by_kichigai-d3ctrsd.jpg
So if Twilight can do Human maybe she can do Troll, give it a shot Twi
*magic poof*
maybe Dan will like her better this way
*smoke clears*
derpicdn.net/img/view/2012/11/22/159572__pinkie+pie_crossover_grimdark_homestuck_trollified_artist-colon-zombielol.jpg
Or maybe not.
3992282
If Dan and Elise where trolls they'd be total kismesis. Especially given the whole "misery diary" thing.
So now we know that Pinkie onher own breaks reality, but Pinkie hallucinating on Ketamine breaks reality for others. or at least starts it sagging. Wonder how much worse it can get.
Pinkie is toasted, I love it
Elise kissed Dan, the world will tear itself apart
Stoned Pinkie is Hilarious!
Lol...dat Futurama and Super Troopers reference.
3992302 Yet another, wonderful chapter that just leaves me wanting for more!
Glad to see that Pinkie is (somewhat) under control and not trying to molest Dan anymore. I just hope you put some bad reactions in once the tranquilizer wears off; to send a "Don't do Drugs" message to the kids.
Love all the references; they were all perfectly executed.
Also, Pinkie had a metric tonne of good lines.
“THAT’S THE BEST IDEA ANYONE HAS EVER HAD EVER!”
The only bit of criticism I have (which I think is the first time for this series so, yes, the only bit) is that you mention her arm several times; she's in pony mode--should've been "foreleg".
3992302 Another thought; is Pinkie going to go back to being human for Chapter 100? That'd be a good way to kick off a land-mark chapter...mind you I'm enjoying her as a pony (hope she somehow makes her way into the bakery like that).
XD
Oh gods the references! The Futurama reference killed me!

I gotta say, that save for the lack of sexual tension to accompany the hatred, It would work.
And that Dan does essentially have a Troll's emotions.
*He has someone he cares about unconditionally from a basis of mutual pity and affection that has become a sexual relationship.
*His best friend exist essentially to mitigate/enable his destructive impulses, while Dan serves to make Chris' life nteresting and provides protection in the event anyone challenges his territorial claim or harm him.
*He and Elise have been black flirting teh entire series, and if not for the complete lack of he biological drive the leads to black romance in humans ( I work under the assumption that there is a separate imperative than red romance at work) they would have been Kismeses (I have no idea how to pluralize that) long ago.
*Also, Dan's traumatic childhood and sociopathic behavior would be par for the course. Though his vengeance jags wold make him something of a black slut. Chris would have to be able to keep a tighter reign as Morail.
Really, it makes me think that reincarnation may play a role. If Homestuck has taught us anything, its that reincarnation is a straight b**ch, no matter the circumstances.
I am such a nerd.
3993172
I've gotten this both ways actually. I've used "foreleg" and was told to use arms, and now it's come full circle.
I've done some research that at least suggests that mammals still technical have "forearms", so it's all very confusing.
3993181
Not sure if I could land that so solidly.
Chapters aren't usually planned out in advanced. Sometimes I have an ending in mind, sometimes I just go until I feel I have something worth ending on. So it's always a slight mystery to me where I'll be in five or ten chapters even if I still have an idea for how I want the story to go.
3994124 Fair enough; you write very well in a comedic style that so many of us find loveable. I'm sure whatever you choose will be well received by us all.
3993949 I know fan who would argue the whole "lack of sexual tension" part, but it's fans tendency to do that that inspired black romance in Homestuck in the first place. But I personally agree that they lack the Troll brain chemistry to feel that way.
And I think that Chris is doing the best he can, Dan is just a Morail that doesn't listen.
3995494
Shippers gonna ship, man. Don't expect them to be rational.
Nice chapter. The slice of life ones are my absolute favorite. I did always wonder if there was a chance that Elise would ever cheat with Dan, and it's interesting to see what oothers think.
On the proofreading side, I think you accidentally ommitted a line where Dan says something like "I swear on my mothers life," to lead into him stabbing PP and saying "I hate my mother."
3996076
Actully it was because Pinkie attempts to say, "Son of a b@$ch!" but I love your idea here. I think I might have to make a change to the chapter.
3999488 I can forgive all the other mistakes(there are a lot of spelling mistakes, mostly just a missing letter or where instead of were) but quoting the main character cannot be screwed up.
Loving it so far.
3999666
Glad to read that.
Sorry about the mistakes here and there.
The early chapters have gone through a bit of a scrubbing. Hopefully all of it will be fixed at some point/
I just binge read this entire fic in three nights. No more chapters left. I has a sad nao.
I'm sorry but... I refuse to believe that Twilight wouldn't know that the fear of needles is called Trypanophobia.
No, I don't care that Wikipedia says that needle phobia is fine, this is Twilight Mother F-ing Sparkle. And since it was a syringe, it'd be most accurate to call it as it is: Trypanophobia. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to stop being a damn nerd and read more horse words.
Pinkie is acting like my cat after getting catnip.
#firstworldproblems
Best. Movie. EVER! Meow.
I can't remember what movie this quote was from, but I loved it too. Was it "Half Baked"?
“Daaaaan…… the floor feels AWESOME-POSSUM!”
Did you...actually just say that? You actually went there? You went for AWESOME POSSUM of all games. Goddamn, the awesome never ends! EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
Voice from nowhere: You're not so awesome!
...You're right. I SUCK. DX
4832919
It's from Futurama, said by Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8 after eating a hippie.
Needle phobia? You mean Trypanophobia?
Pinkie's reaction to the tranq reminds me of how I felt after I had surgery. My doctor prescribed me a bunch of different painkillers that made me soooo bucking high. I didn't know what was going half the time, everything was all floaty and awesome. The upside was that my operation was just before Thanksgiving, the painkillers actually made that holiday bearable for once.
hey me again, i just thought i give some more friendly advice . the first paragraph was actually a bit confusing due to a misplaced comma, and the two parts of the sentence don't work together. I will mark the old like so, and the new as such. you might have to take a closer look for the commas by the way.
Chris looked behind him and glanced at the purple alicorn, “Apparently the prospect of getting a shot has, sudden, urge reducing properties on Pinkie… except, for the you know, more an urge to not get a shot…”
Twilight nodded, “Makes sense, Pinkie does suffer from needle phobiaTrypanophobia…”
now that last one isn't a clerical issue, it's more about how you depicted twilight. You see twilight is a well studied pony, and as such is more likely to use technical terms instead of improvised ones. Also twilight has been shown to have an issue explaining things in a way everybody can understand so that would actually add to this, and if you're worried about people getting confused just add a little dialogue as such.
Chris then took a confused look and asked "uh Trypano... what?"
"Trypanophobia" said twilight "or a fear of injections"
or you could do this
Chris then took a confused look and asked "uh Trypano... what?"
"Trypanophobia" said twilight "or a fear of injections,and then there's Belonephobia a fear of pointed objects in general" she continued
Chris now understanding said "oh okay th..."
twilight now in full on lecture mode then continued on " then there's Enetophobia or a fear of pins, more commonly ponies are afraid of injections specifically..."
Dan began glaring at twilight as Chris just sat and became more and more confused
"so usually Trypanophobia is the best word to describe somepo... someone who is afraid of needles however it's not unheard of for ponies to asso..."
"SHUT UP YOU IMBECILE, HE ASKED FOR A DEFINITION NOT FOR SOME IDIOTIC LECTURE ON ANATOMY!" Screamed Dan looking like he was about to burst a blood vein.
twilight now taking a more a look of insult responded "you could have just asked me to stop you know, also i wasn't talking about anatomy... i believe etymology is what you meant to say but that's still inaccurate, you see Etymology is the study of the history of la..."
"Um twilight i would appreciate it if you would please" said Dan in an uncharacteristically soft tone only to shift into one of pure hatred as he said "SHUT YOU'RE STUPID PONY MOUTH, AND FOCUS ON THE ENTIRE REASON WE'RE EVEN TALKING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!"
Anyway you get the idea. also again i'm sorry of i overstepped my bonds.
Hehe, snozzberries is another word for dicks.
I am dead serious.

It could be she knew that using the scientific name would just start a pointless argument with Dan, and she'd felt she'd had enough of those already.
...in which case, it would have been more accurate to have her say "She has try...needle phobia."

So I'm rereading this before actually finishing the guest arcs at the end and thus having no unread chapters left... Which will one day be depressing.
Wait... Did Captain Chloroform there just complain about Elise drugging Pinkie? Yeesh how'd I miss that the first time through? Oh well, this arc is moderately ridiculous even by this fic's high standards. That's not a complaint.
That aside... Dan bringing up his mom reminded me of a thought I had awhile back... Any chance of a Pinkie vs. Dan's Parents arc someday? Random weirdness and eldritch abomination enemies are great, but I'd love to see those two get thrown through a few things... Or something a bit more nuanced, whatever works. Sure they played a big role in giving us the Dan we know and love/love to occasionally hate, but they were also.... Well, Pinkie knows the story better than I do...
7925886
Doing something with Dan's parents is indeed an idea I have given a fair amount of thought to.
huh
Yeah pinkie thats a sure way to figure out your high
Nothing beats the original.
So many references.
Now, the “Snozzberries” thing could be a reference to a whole bunch of different things, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say it being used here by Pinkie is specifically a reference to the student film Double Rainboom, released… wow, 9 years ago? I honestly thought it was older. My sense of time is just all kinds of out of whack.
