Master of Shadows’ Comment
After yelling out your confusion and shock, Grandbuggy and the villain turn to you inquisitively. And really, you can’t believe it, but the evidence is there right before your eyes. Daring Do's most hated enemy Ahuizotl stands before you.
Not only is this guy somehow real, but HE'S FRIEND'S WITH GRANDBUGGY?????!!!!!!
Him being real is one thing. You’ve met so called “Fictional” characters before, the Doctor and Pyramid Head to name a few, but the fact that he is real and chummy with your Great Grandbug just does not compute.
"Okay what the BUCK is going on here?!" you scream again as some of your hairs stand on end.
"Whoa there kiddo language," admonishes Ahuizotl.
“Buck You! I Say What I Want!” you shout in defiance. As you do, Instinct overrides everything else in your mind. The instinct that says, Bad Guy equals kick in the nads while yelling some sort of one liner. So as you declare your independence for saying any filthy bucking thing you want, your hind leg flies forward and strikes true, for you are a master at your art.
“EEEEEEE!!! Madre De Dios!” the tall villain cries out as he crumples to the ground, holding his nethers. This causes the tribal ponies to get into defensive stances and point their spears at you and Grandbuggy. The old bug turns to you and gives you a stern look.
“Now Nightshade, what’d you go and do that for? You ain’t even been properly introduced to the guy yet.”
“Introduced?!” you screech. “That’s Bucking Ahuizotl!”
“Oh, so you’ve read the books then. Well that’ll make explanations easier.” He then turns to the stallions pointing the spears at them. “And what did I tell you colts about the Goramned Sticks?!” he yells causing them to flinch as he walks over and helps Ahuizotl up.
“Madre, the pain…” he groans.
“Oh don’t be a drama queen, you’ve had worse. But, eh heh, sorry about that. She gets it from her dad.” As the villain gets to his feet and calls off his guards, he gives you a reserved look.
“Her Padre?” he asks. “And who is this Alicorn child?”
"Hey I'm the one asking the questions here!” You shout back, still in your own defensive stance. “How do you know my Great Grandbuggy?"
"Great Grandbuggy?” he asks taken aback. He then looks to the old bug in confusion. “Wait Quick you had a kid? And a grandkid? AND a great grandchild?! When?! How?!"
"Alright, alright now everyone calm down. Can we please discuss this inside? I'm very tired from the flight over here. I'll explain everything over lunch how's that? I know you're hungry Nightshade." Grandbuggy says with a sigh. As if on cue your tummy makes a loud grumble reminiscent of a beluga whale, causing you to blush.
"Oh finnneee,” you huff as you stand down and walk to his side. “But you’ve got a lot of explaining to do mister!"
Ahuizotl still looks confused as all Tartarus, but he nods with an “Aye.” He then snaps his claw finger things and calls out.
“Ramirez, tell the kitchen to prepare the Carne Asada…She can eat that right?” he asks Grandbuggy.
“She’s more pony than changeling in the long run, so I’d say no,” Grandbuggy answers as he starts walking into the temple, with you nearly glued to his side.
“Right…Make that Cheese Enchiladas then,” he orders and a stallion runs off to do just that.
And though some good old fashioned Mexicoltan food sounds nice, you still don’t trust the big cat thing with a hand tail at all.
He falls into step with Grandbuggy as you walk, but he keeps throwing curious glances at you before he sighs and says,
"I know you wanted to discuss over lunch, but I really must know some details compadre. She really is you great granddaughter?”
“Yeah! Can’t you see the family resemblance?!” you spit back, not being nice to him at all.
"You have no idea." Grandbuggy sighs with a roll of his eyes and looks to you, “Play nice kid, he’s going to help us after all.”
“But he’s a Bad Guy Grandbuggy! Haven’t you read the books?” you declare.
Kichi’s Comment
"Bad guy?" he declares in indignation with his hands on his hips. “I’m the bad guy?”
"Oh boy, here he goes,” Grandbuggy facehooves.
“Child, do you know how much money your dear Daring Do makes from all those books?”
“I have no idea, I didn’t even know she was real five minutes ago, much less you!” you answer back.
“Well guess what, it’s a lot. She franchises her image and adventures into stories and films using her A.K. Yearling friend, and we get nothing! I never gave her permission to put me into a story either, and I can’t exactly sue because I’m sort of wanted in several countries, but the point remains, she’s infringing on my image!” he complains.
“Oh…Well still, you put her into death traps and stuff all the time. That’s pretty evil,” you counter.
“Bah!” he waves his paw. “She exaggerates. Besides, why should I go easy on her? She paints me as some two bit villain. We are rivals. Rivals I say! She puts her artifacts into museums, and all I want is power from ancient civilizations. How’s that any different than the Princess De Sol using those Element thingies? Besides, the amount of destruction she leaves at ancient sites is atrocious and-“
“Alright, alright, we get it,” Grandbuggy interrupts. “Daring Do is bad, and we should feel bad and blah blah blah.”
“Right…” Ahuizotl composes himself. “Sorry, it’s a sore spot for me child.”
“Not the only sore spot,” you snark causing him to wince and Grandbuggy to chuckle.
“Good one kid. But yeah, I’m still too hungry to listen to your gripes buddy. We’ll discuss the intricacies of image infringement, and your unhealthy bondage fetish later.”
“Wh-What?!” Ahuizotl blushes. “I-I-I don’t do that because I enjoy it, it’s so she can’t escape and-“
“Yeah I don’t care. Food first,” Grandbuggy declares grumpily. Your tummy again accentuates that statement and the villain nods.
“Fine, fine, yes we shall dine,” he relents.
“And it better be good,” you demand causing him to sigh.
“Don’t worry Shade, ol Ahzi complains a lot, but his hired help do make a mean meal.”
You are about to some something else huffily, about him having a nickname for his Evil Buddy, but then you gasp in amazement as you enter a larger cavern with brighter lit passageways.
Falx_of_Lume’s Comment
The interior of the temple is... well, ancient looking. You notice a lot of the walls are covered in blocky, complex, carvings that are painted over in bright blues, greens, yellows, and a lot of red. Also, teeth. Lots and lots of animals and monsters snarling, growling, and biting things, so their teeth are very prevalent in these carvings as well.
You are conflicted on this. On one hoof, the presence of such raw and intimidating images makes you think you shouldn't be following the creature that lives with these images on a day to day basis. But on the other hoof...
This place is so bucking cool! It's like I’m really on a real life Daring Do adventure…Although maybe from the wrong side…
Eventually though, you are led further in and surprisingly, there is a semi normal looking dining table. Shortly after sitting down, the Cheese Enchiladas come, and you forgo thinking about good and evil, and just chow down. And boy is it delicious.
Eh, maybe I’ll give this guy a chance. He is feeding me after all, you think as you down a fifth plate of the cheesy goodness.
“She, uh…She has quite the appetite mi amigo,” Ahuizotl declares in fascination as you continue to chow down.
“That she does you abomination of nature,” Grandbuggy chuckles and Ahuizotl purses his lips. “Any doubt now that she’s my kin?”
“No. No doubt about it…but you said she’s your great-granddaughter. How did you have time for that?”
Grandbuggy sighs and wipes his lips with a napkin. “I’m much older than I look buddy. When I was running around with you and the others, I’d had a fully grown daughter back at the hive, and she had started a family of her own.”
“Oh…I see,” Ahuizotl nods in understanding. “Well, you certainly don’t look that old Fix.”
“Just old enough,” he chuckles as does the tall cat creature.
"Well I suppose the timing makes sense…but she’s an alicorn. How did that happen?” he asks curiously.
"My grandkid met a nice a nice alicorn lady and they made Nightshade here together," Grandbuggy replies in a “it’s obvious” kind of voice.
Ahuizotl stumbles in his next question and rolls his eyes. "... I walked right into that one didn't I?" he asks rhetorically.
"Eeyup." Grandbuggy answers and chuckles. “Ain’t that right kiddo?” he asks.
You swallow what’s left of your Sixth Enchilada and look back and forth between them. "Yeah... Mom and Dad made me…the way I guess all babies are made, with the Stork and stuff” you answer even though you have absolutely no idea how that works, or why you don’t look, think and act like other Four Year Olds.
He fumbles with his words again, and for some reason Grandbuggy laughs at this, even if you don’t see what’s funny.
“Dios Mio…Which Princess?” he asks Grandbuggy in fascination. “There’s only three, well four now, but she wouldn’t be old enough. Which one did your Grandson ensnare?”
“None of the above actually, but that’s neither here nor there,” Grandbuggy dismisses as he leans forward. “I didn’t come to just catch up Ahzi, I came to call in the favor…” Ahuizotl visibly begins to sweat at that.
“Oh…you have have you?” he stutters.
“Eyup. It’s time to pay up buddy.” Ahuizotl slumps his shoulders at that.
“Alright then…what is it you want mi amigo?”
“Well, let’s just say, I’m in the need of some artifacts. I need maps, locations, heck, if you’ve got some on you cough em up.”
“Artifacts? That’s it?” he chirps up seemingly happier. “Well that I can do. Just tell me what you need and-“
“The first thing I need is a Ring of Scorchero.”
“Oh Come On!” the villain complains. “Anything but that! I’m planning something with those!”
“Yeah, well you’re gonna have to hold off on your plans because me and the little lady need it.”
“Oh...but I already hired Cabelleron to retrieve a few of them…” he whines.
“Dr. Cabelleron is real too?” you speak up. Grandbuggy scowls at that.
“Jumping Rheesus Monkeys Ahz, what you doing working with that Flankhole again?” he growls. Ahuizotl looks a little sheepish at that insinuation.
“Well…he is effective and relatively cheap…”
“Yeah, he’s a cheapskate jerkoff is what he is,” Grandbuggy shakes his head in disappointment.
“Look, when you’re trying to bring Heat Waves to the Jungle, there’s only so many that will help out!” Ahuizotl complains.
And then they go back and forth like that for a while, doing grown up talk, which is just playground squabbling with bigger words.

8BitMadness’s Comment
Is this what it’s like for those fillies on TV when their parents drag them to a meet-and-greet or something? There has to be something around here for me to do...
“Ugh,” you groan and push your plate away. “I’m bored. Are we getting what we want or not?”
“I’m negotiating little senorita,” the villain explains.
“Ain’t nothing to negotiate, you owe me!” Grandbuggy demands.
“But Fix, this is so sudden and-“
“Where are the kitties at?” you demand.
“Huh?” both grownups ask.
“I said where’s the cats? If you’re gonna keep on like this, I want to at least play with something.”
“Oh, they’re in their cages down the hallway and to the left,” he points.
“But only play with the little one!” Grandbuggy demands.
“Fine…” you groan as you get up from the table and stomp down the hallway while they continue to speak.
You walk down the hallway, and eventually do find the Cat room. The big ones, including the Tiger and Black Panther are all in their cages and growl at you, but sitting atop their cages is an adorable little kitty cat with big eyes.
“Awww, you look so sweet,” you coo as you walk forward.
“Meow?” the kitty asks.
“Yes you are,” you gush as you scratch it’s head. “You almost make up for the fact that my Grandbuggy is chummy with a Book Villain…though he’s more whiny than the books portray.
“Meow?” the cat asks.
“Yeah, I guess that is harsh,” you admit. “If he is gonna help us get what we need to help Mommy, then I shouldn’t judge too much. Besides, everyone’s always saying she and Daddy are villains without getting to know them first.”
“Meow.”
“Dawww, thanks for saying that,” you coo and scrunch his face up. You then hear a sad mechanical whine and look back to see Mangle giving you the saddest look a robot fox could give. It’s like you’ve completely torn her clockwork heart out.
“Oh no, Mangle, this isn’t what it looks like,” you defend as you let go of the Kitty’s face. Mangle barks sarcastically, clearly not buying it.
“You’ll always be my one and only pet Mangle,” you implore. “I just wanted to meet some new adorable creatures. I’m not replacing you I swear!”
Barking and slapping your hoof away, Mangle jumps out of the Inventory and squares up with the Kitty, putting her dukes up like a boxer.
“Mangle! We’re guests here, we can’tjust up and start a Fight Club all willy nilly!” you admonish.
Your jealous pet just barks and continues to jab at the air, enticing the kitten. Said feline gives your Plush Bot one inquisitive look, licks it’s paw…and then what happens next, you’re still confused. In a blur of white, the Kitten jabbed, kicked, elbowed, threw, and pile drived your robot six ways to Sunday. This all happens in the span of about five seconds, and with one final uppercut, Mangle is thrown up into the air, and into an open garbage chute where she screams as she plummets into it’s depths.
“MANGLE!!!” you screech and look down the hole. You then look back to the hidden badass kitty who just licks it’s paws like nothing happened.
“Bad Kitty!” you declare as you throw yourself into the chute and plummet.
Thanks to your new found flying prowess, you don’t hit the bottom hard, unlike Mangle who lies in a heap of something soft.
“Mangle, are you Ok?” you ask as you bring the Fox up to it’s feet. Mangle holds a thumbs up, but is swaying side to side and holding her head.
Sighing that she’s safe, you go into lecture mode, “Well that was your own gorramned fault. Picking fights with other pets is not cool. I’m not gonna replace you you dummy,” you scold and bring the fox into a hug, which it returns.
“I’m just glad you landed on something soft to break your fall. What is this thing anyway, it’s kind of squishy,” you say as you shift your weight. Seeing as how it’s dark at the bottom of this pit, you change your eyes to Changeling Blue to help see in the dark better and when you do, your jaw drops for what feels like the millionth time today.
Later
After flying up garbage chute, and admonishing the bad kitty again, you head back to the dining room with your new passenger in your Inventory. Grandbuggy and Ahuizotl are still talking while pointing at a map.
“The dragon scepter shard is a suicide mission, so I advise against that,” the cat creature advises.
“Meh, Torch ain’t so bad so long as you don’t cheat at cards,” Grandbuggy hoof waves.
“Very well, but the fossilized dragon egg is trickier and-“
“Um, excuse me?” you interrupt, causing them to look to you. “Can I talk to my Grandbuggy alone real quick?”
“Uh…sure Shade,” he says in confusion as he starts trotting towards you. “What’s up?”
“Um…more alone? Out in the hallway maybe?” you implore causing him to raise an eyebrow. He relents though and looks over his shoulder. “Go ahead and mark the Egg spot, I’ll be back,” he instructs. Ahuizotl nods and does just that as you lead him into the hallway.
“Alright kid, what’s wrong? Why do you look so nervous?” he asks with concern.
“Ummm,” you fidget as you place a hoof behind your head. “I may have done something…bad.”
His eyes widen a little, “Did you play with that Tiger?”
“No," you groan with a roll of your eyes, "He’s still in his cage, though I don’t he would have gotten me into this mess!”
“What mess kid, slow down?” You take a deep breath and try to compose yourself. You upturn the Inventory and a Pale Yellow Pegasus mare with grayish hair flops out. She has a big red bump on her head from where Mangle hit her as she snuck through the Garbage.
“I Maaaaaayyyyy have accidentally knocked out Daring Do…” you chuckle nervously.
He looks from the knocked out mare to you and back a few times.
“Hooo Boy…” he groans as he rubs the back of his own neck.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
Indy's Theme, Of course.
HAHhahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Priceless!!!
Now as for their theme song... this guy's got the right idea. ---> 8749380
Onto the show!
"Wonderful!" Ahuizotl exclaims from behind them.
You and Grandbuggy whip around in surprise from his appearance.
"Ahui? Were you eavesdropping again?" Grandbuggy asks in annoyance.
"Yes I was, a bad habit I know, I know. But I just can't resist knowing what others are talking ab-,"
"-talking about because you worry it's about you, behind your back. Yeah, I know. But you seriously couldn't just give me a moment of privacy with my granddaughter?" Grandbuggy interrupts Ahuizotl.
"...Sorry." He apologizes sheepishly. Which looks weird on a massive cat amalgamation like him. Then he turns serious in his expression. "Now then, I'd say it's time to address the issue at hand." He says with an evil grin down towards the knocked out Daring Do.
You leap between the him and Daring. "Not a chance!" You declare up at him fiercely.
His face... does an interesting slew of transformations. First it looks like he's surprised, then it looks like he's going to start laughing, and finally it pulls up short and settles on a face that just says "oh wait, I can't actually do anything to her." Nightshade actually contemplates how she's able to read his face so well, but shoves it out of her mind to keep her focus on defending Daring Do.
"What if... I said please?" Ahuizotl asks hopefully.
"Nope!" You respond.
"...Pretty please?" He tries.
"Uh-uh." You shoot down.
"What if..." He starts
"You can have her if you give us the artifacts we need without any argument." Grandbuggy speaks up.
"DEAL!" Ahuizotl agrees with a pointed finger at him.
"Grandbuggy!" You exclaim in disbelief.
"Blackmail shall be mine!" Ahuizotl declares while popping the cap off of a black marker that he pulled... from somewhere. He then begins to draw cat whiskers on Daring's face with the marker using his long tail over your head.
"Wait what?" You say in confusion at this.
"Ahuizotl here likes to draw faces on unconscious ponies and put pictures of the end result in a scrapbook of his. I figured that's what he wanted to do to her when he sounded so gleeful when he announced himself." Grand buggy explains to you.
"This will be my twenty-third masterpiece of Daring Do!" Ahuizotl informs you giddily, drawing away on her face.
You blink at this. That wasn't in any of the books.
-------------------- Break. Different story suggestion for different part of the story starting now.-------------------
"Um, hi. Miss Daring Do, I was wondering if I could have your autograph." You ask the tied-up pegasus with a nervous grin.
Daring stares at you. "...suuuuure..." She answers. She doesn't know what to feel about you. On the one hoof, you knocked her out, but on the other... you're just a kid, asking for an autograph.
"Thank you!" You exclaim in excitement. You then put your saddlebags on the ground, open them up and clim inside to go grab your copy of "Daring Do and the Saphire Idol". When you get out, she's staring in shock at how you managed to fit inside your bags. You pull out a pen and stick it gently in her mouth and open the book for her to sign. Daring scribbles out her signature for you carefully, but quickly.
8749852
Daring stares at you for a few seconds, "You knock me out, then you hand me over to my greatest rival, and now you want me to give you, my autograph?"
You shuffle your hooves in embarrassment, "Well, I am REALLY sorry about knocking you out and I was trying to get you help," you explain.
"...Eh," She shrugs, "I've had worst (Insert day of the week here) before."
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Also Thanks For The Vote.
After Ahuizotl leave Daring Do, and after she sign the book, Grandbuggy and Nightshade are left alone with the pegasus mare as Ahuizotl is busy for the moment
"So... How did Nightmare Moon end as a filly?" Ask Daring looking to Nightshade and Grandbuggy
"Wait, why do you think she is Nightmare Moon?" Ask Grandbuggy
"Are you kidding? I have in front of my eyes a fifth alicorn, with a strange changeling and one of my nemesis, this is a normal day for me... Let me guess, you survived somehow and in a ritual to give you a body you ended with a filly body?" Ask Daring Do
"Well...." Nightshade look at Grandbuggy before he facehoof.
"Did you really guess all that?" Ask Grandbuggy
"I'm a writer, and really, after everything that happened to me, it's not a surprise" Say Daring
"So, I guessed correctly?" Ask Daring surprised looking at both Nightshade and Grandbuggy
"Eh, half and half... You are looking at her daughter..." Comment Grandbuggy
"Grandbuggy!" Shout Nighthsade looking at him
"What? She already suspected something... And it's better that lying to her... Now, I have a serious question for you..." Grandbuggy approach Daring and look at her in the eyes.
"How did you pass the curse in the temple of Bastet in the fourth book?" Ask Grandbuggy
"Wait... What?" Ask Daring surprised
"Well, the book did not explain... " Comment Grandbuggy as this time Nightshade facehoof
I forgot to mention this before, but for the cover art... weren't Bugze's eyes orange originally?
8752454
This cover was originally for season 1
Okay, not burnt out and have ideas again!
This part would take place after Falx's comment.
8749852
Ahuizotl stops for a moment, then asks a question he had been thinking about the entire time he was drawing on his rival's face: "Dios, how did you manage to drag her all the way over here without exhausting yourself? I know that Alicorns are stronger than a stubborn burro, but you just brought a full grown mare over here!"
(I'm assuming here that Ahuizotl was eavesdropping by listening and not watching for this to work.)
Nightshade says nothing, but immediately takes her inventory off and turns it upside down, then starts shaking. Many items fall on the ground.
"That's how. My daddy gave this to me!" she responds.
Ahuizotl looks at nightshade with a slack jaw for several more moments before his eyes roll into the back of his head and he passes out, slamming against the floor.
Nightshade looks at Grandbuggy, and after a moment opens her mouth to speak. "Did I break him?"
ANOTHER SECTION, SET AFTER KICHI'S COMMENT:
8750188
While Nightshade was bothering Daring Do with questions about plot holes and lack of details in the books about her, Grandbuggy and Ahuizotl continued conversation with one another.
"So she's Nightmare Moon's daughter?" Ahuizotl asks. "That seems a bit far-fetched to me."
"It's completely true though, and she goes by the name Selena now." Grandbuggy responds. "Turns out my grandson won the jackpot in terms of partners. She's smart enough to keep him from doing his usual stupid antics. Lemme tell you what, he got my insanity, but he didn't get my intelligence."
"Wouldn't the princesses of Equestria have caught on if she was resurrected in a new body?" Ahuizotl asks.
"...Truth be told, that's what this here mission is for." Grandbuggy answers after a delay. "Her spirit currently inhabits the body of Bugze, my grandbug."
(dunno if this is the correct term, so replace grandbug with whatever if it's wrong.)
"Wait a minute! How was Nightshade made then?!" Ahuizotl shouts, startling the tribal ponies around him.
"Dunno, magic apparently."
"WHAT."
Ahuizotl looks as though he's having a stroke.
"Maybe you should sit down for a moment, friend," Grandbuggy speaks, while guiding Ahuizotl to a bench.
"Perhaps I should, mi amigo."
END SECTION
Hmmmm....I think 8749380 idea is the best when it comes to the theme!
As for a comment...well the best I can think of is that Daring remembers what she came here for, which is the }Insert dangerous artifact Celestia really should have stored away but was too lazy too here{.
While Grandbuggy just snorts at the artifacts name and goes on a tangent of how it isn't really that big of a deal cause time travel, but Nightshade gets stars in her eyes and wants to team up with Daring to get it.
Of course Daring is reasonably reluctant to have a filly come with her with her...but after one goon (read: a couple) is Flacon Kicked in the balls after trying to sneak up on her she decides 'why not?'
The next scene? Nightshade and Daring are caught in a trap and Ahuizotl is monologuing ala Doofenshmirtz. And Grandbuggy? Laughing his flank off at how fast the two got caught.
Grandbuggy reminisces about the time he (figuratively) slaughtered Dr. Cabelleron in a Poker match taking the bits he had just earned from Ahuizotl (while commenting that Cabelleron wasn't just a flankhole, but a fool and a fraud who's only a "Dr" because he stole somepony's Doctorate). Ahuizotl got a big laugh out of this when GB bought some supplies from him shortly after the match and the feline-villain asked where GB got the Bits on such short notice.
===============
It's revealed that part of the reason Grandbuggy and Ahuizotl know each other was because a young GB was assigned by a past Chrysalis as an envoy to him for supplies (Ahuizotl's sense of smell and instincts make changeling disguises useless around him anyway).
================
NOTE: Nightshade IS omnivorous due having fangs from her mother's side (Nightmare Moon may technically be an alicorn pony, but beign darkness-based means she could eat meat if she wanted to) and changelings are omnivores by default (Bugze is only vegetarian by choice). She has eaten meat in previous chapters, Hay meat was one of the first things she ever ate.

On with the show!
“You’ll never get away with it Ahuizotl! I’ll stop you, just as I always have!” Daring said with a smirk.
“That’s where your wrong miss Do! I have the advantage here! Your wings are bound, rendering you unable to fly! And what’s more you have no equipment, no allies, and no way ou- would you quit laughing Quick Fix!” Ahuizotl yells, you turn your head to notice your Grandbuggy is just over in the corner laughing his flank off. Pounding his front hoof away at the ancient floor.
“I’m sorry zotl it’s just too much! Haha!” Grandbuggy wheezes. “ No wonder she thinks you’re a villain, your acting is right out of a cheesy foals book!” He says calming down.
“Isn’t he technically one already? Considering the books miss daring writes him in?” You say with a giggle at how silly this all was. Your, Grandbuggy stumbles as he laughs again. Not noticing the pressure plate he stepped on.
“Quick no! The trap!” Ahuizotl says in alarm. As the floor beneath all of you gives way to a deep dark pit.
Your grandbuggy stops laughing as he realizes what he’s done, “Oh buuuuucccccckkkkkk!!!!!!” He shouts as you, Grandbuggy, Darring, and Ahuizotl fall down the pit. Moments later the floor seals back up just as two guards come in with snacks, “Hey boss we just spotted Caballeron and his guys heading this way. Also we may be out of food for next few weeks.. wait where’d he go?”
And that mats all I got. School has been very tough so little time to come up with suggestions and what not but the show must go on!
P.S. zotl is grandbuggy’s nickname for Ahuizotl
I mean it's already been loosely 'decided' but Intro: intro Outtro: outtro.
Sorry about dropping off the face of the internet, but colleg do as colleg must.

Daring do laughs and rolls around on the floor. "Haha! Caught in your own trap. I didn't even have to try this time!" More chortles escaped Daring while Ahuizotl stares stupified in the nearly lightless pit.
Mangle pops out of the inventory to sit next to you. "Gorramit, what do we do now Granbuggy?" you ask as you pet Mangle.
"Still thinking like your pops huh?" Granbuggy snarks. "We can fly remember?"
The sound of your hoof to face contact in the rather echo-y trap pit made the two other 'guests' cringe. "Gor.Ram.It. I can't believe I forgot about that already!" You throw your hooves into the air. "But what about Ahuizotl and Daring? Put them in the inventory?"
"Naw. We'll get the pit open and they can climb out. No free rides from us two."
A bit confused but nonchalant, you and Granbuggy fly up to the crack in the floor, only to hear crying.
"I- We cant be friends anymore! You've done this to me too many times!"
"But I brought extra snacks this time..."
"Every-" An extremely emotional breath echoed down "- time. Every time I get to one, you call me out for it! It's sickening!"
"Look, it's not my fault you always forget to call uno right after you put the card down--"
Granbuggy had an annoyed look on his face, "Hey boys, you can get back to your emotional problems after you open this pit up; we've got your boss here."
"Woah, it's that guy from before." One of the two guards fumbled about for something. "Okay, so how do we open this thing up. I don't know about you but I'm not strong enough to move a thousand pound slab of stone."
"Okay, so there's a plate on the back left wall there, that if you step on it, it will open this floor."
Some hoof steps retreated away from the crack. "Yeah just press it--"
"AAAAAAHHHHHH" The guards screamed as they fell down, not realizing that they had to stand not on the switch. "BUCK!" Granbuggy was hit and fell back down the the bottom, landing on Ahuizotl. The floor rumbled to a quick shut.
"You two idiots better hide before I rip your--"
"Heyyy Granbuggy!" You yell down into the crack. "I'm up here, I can press the switch -- AAnnnnd not fall in like those two goofs."
"Looks like you've managed to survive by pure luck. Atta girl! Just step on it and open it." A few minutes passed in relative silence. "What's taking so long?"
A pregnant pause filled the pit. "I'm not heavy enough..."
8790406
Good choice for the outro, Any way on with the show! (continuing from where you left off)
"A pregnant pause filled the pit. "I'm not heavy enough..."
You jerk back at a sudden *smack* noise you hear come from the pit.
"Alright hang on sweetie we need you to go and find something heavy to put on the plate." You heard grandbuggy shout. But before you could respond you hear a shout coming from outside.
"AHUIZOTL!! WE'RE HERE FOR THE DEAL!" said a gruff and intimidating voice.
"Oh dear." You say in worry.
*meanwhile*
Perspective Fillyfooler number 1
"Hey you guys feel like were missing something? Something important?" said Rainbow Dash. The mane 6, cmc, and spike were all having a picnic in the park.
"You mean like we're missing two crucial moments that may affect all are lives in the near future?" said Fluttershy surprisingly. Everypony looked at her quizzically. "I've been hanging out with Pinkie." Shy said sheepishly. Everyone turned to Pinkie who popped her head from the cake she was eating. "What? Is it something on my face?" Everyone rolled their eyes as they went back to their picnic.
*meanwhile*
Perspective Grandbuggy
"Dios Mio NO! Caballeron is early?!" Ahuizotl cried out in annoyance.
"Oh right that's why we were looking for you. He's early." Said guard 1.
"Yeah sorry about that." said guard 2
"Bob! Steve! You idiotas!" Ahuizotl yelled.
"Actually my name is Strawberry Sunshine." said "Steve"
"And you wonder why I call you Steve..." sighed Ahuizotl as he massaged his head.
"Wait Caballeron is here too?! What's your game Ahuizotl?" Daring questioned despite still being tied up and on the floor.
"Daring can we call a timeout on this? At least till we get out of this mess?" Ahuizotl said, grabbing her and bringing her to his eye level.
"Fine, but don't think this is over you." She said with a glare.
"OH MY GOSH/FAUST JUST BUCK ALREADY!!" You and Nightshade yelled.
"Can we please find a way out of this mess?!" You shout. Both Ahuizotl and Daring blush intensely and stutter,
"I! But she/he! We would never!" Before things could get any more awkward Bob said, "Hey I think there's a hidden passage back here!"
Before you could say something Ahuizotl ran over his minion and into the passage, forgetting that he still had Daring in his tail paw thing. "Oi! Wait for us!" You shout before turning your head to the ceiling and shouting to you granddaughter, "Nightshade we found a way out! We'll meet you up there. Don't do anything your father would do." You dart down the passage following the two love birds. With Tweedledum and Tweedledee following behind you.
Perspective change: Nightshade
You hear your Grandbuggy's hoofsteps fade away from below. But before you could do anything you hear that voice again closer this time.
"Where is he? AHUIZOTL?! Where are you?! This isn't how you do good business." You turn to see a shadow of a pony in the hallway drawing closer. All you can't think is, "Oh buck you lady luck."
