(Just a random tiny little head that popped up in my head and was sort of a prompt challenge.)

Staring Contest

Staring Contest

“Twilight, I’m bored.”

“Try reading something then.”

“But I don’t want to read I want to have fun!”

“Pinkie Pie, I’m trying to study and focus right now.”

“Well can’t you take a moment to entertain me.”

Twilight took a very deep heavy sigh.

“Alright, fine then, I guess so, how about a game or contest?”

“Oh, I love those, which one were you thinking about exactly?”

“How about a staring contest?”

“Yeah, sure thing, better than nothing.”

“Alright, fine then, but after our contest you have to promise me to leave me all alone until I’m finally done studying, okay then?”

“Alright, fine then, I Pinkie Promise!” Pinkie Pie said sticking her hoof in her eye now then. “Alright,” Twilight said putting her book down and then went over to Pinkie Pie, “Let’s go!” And with that said they stared at each other into each other’s eyes very deeply until Twilight finally decided to blink.

“Alright, I lost, time to leave me alone now then,” she said as Pinkie Pie continue to stare at her, or rather into the distance now then.

“Uh, Pinkie Pie, you can stop staring now,” Twilight said.

“Uh, Twilight, my eyes are frozen,” she said.

“Oh stop being so silly and ridiculous, of course you can,” she said.

“No, I can’t, I’m trying but I just can’t,” she said.

“Well maybe magic might help you out,” she said trying to cast a spell on her, but it was no use, it failed and she continued to stare out.

“Uh, Twilight, my eyes are getting kind of dry now, mind giving me something to help me out?”

“Yeah, sure thing,” she said casting a spell to keep her eyes like they would be if she was blinking. “Thanks a lot, but do you know anything as to why I would continue staring out like this?” she said now then.

“No, I’m sorry, but I might know some pony else who might be able to help.”

And with that said they went over to Zecora’s.

“Yes I see, but the problem which you have is not even know to me.”

“Well then thank you for all of your help,” Twilight said taking Pinkie Pie out of the treehouse and then decided to go back to her library.

“Why are we here if you don’t know what’s wrong with me exactly?”

“I think that I might know what’s wrong with you, but I don’t know for sure, not just yet,” she said concentrating her magic and casting a spell and then suddenly Discord was there in the middle of singing.

“I’m howling at the moon,” he said as he turned around to face her.

“Oh Twilight, what a wonderful surprise,” he said, “Have you come to ask me for a favor perhaps? Or maybe do you want me at a party instead?

Or do you want another very valuable lesson in friendship instead?”

“Discord, I’m here to talk to you about Pinkie Pie, she can’t blink.”

“And you think that I have something to do with this? Well to be completely honest with you I am both shocked, surprised, and hurt by this, surely you know that I would never stoop to such low tricks since I’m reformed now?”

“Discord, I wouldn’t trust you in any way that you could ever think possible, now then if you don’t tell me what you did exactly or find some way to undo this I’m going to-,”

“To what? Put me in stone again?”

“Yes, that was actually the plan.”

Discord sighed, “Really you’re such a killjoy, alright, fine then, I’ll do it.”

And with that said he snapped his claws and she could blink again, but now she had a completely different problem.

“Uh, Pinkie Pie, you’re an alicorn now,” Twilight said.

“Oh, fun!” she said flying in the air.

“Discord, turn her back to normal!”

“But I like her as an alicorn, she’s so much more fun and destructive and can fulfill her real true chaotic potential and destiny, besides it’s not like Larson doesn’t keep on making more of them, so what’s one more going to do, make you into a Mary Sue? Highly unlikely since you’re the main characters of the show and I’m just a side character voiced by John de Lancie, anyhow I’ll turn her back if you so want and wish it to be that way.”

And with that said he snapped his claws again and she lost the wings and horn and turned into a bunny.

“Ah dang it, hold on, I’m going to have to go through some other TV shows animated cartoon characters to get to her,” he said as she started to randomly change forms until she was eventually and finally an earth pony again.

“That felt funny,” she said as she suddenly fell over to reveal that her skin color was white now and her hair was golden blonde instead now.

“Oh dang it, I got the Surprise OC version of her character, oh well, it was a close enough attempt,” he said snapping his claws again and then turning her back into her real true original form.

“Call me again should you ever need me, eyes are a specialty of mine, if you don’t believe me then you can just ask Derpy Hooves,” he said smiling now then.

“Wait, before you go can you answer me just one question.”

“Sure thing, what is it exactly?”

“Why couldn’t Pinkie Pie blink exactly?”

He blinked and then responded, “I honestly really don’t know, I swear it.”

“If you think that I would ever take the word of a crazy draconequis-,”

“Don’t forget reformed,”

“Whatever, well then you’re mistaken.”

“Oh Twilight, why can’t you accept that not even I know the answers for everything? Besides even if I did really truly care what make you think that I would ever possibly tell you even with your statue threat?”

“Because that’s what friends do, they don’t lie, they tell the truth instead.”

“Alright, fine then, it was me, but the joke’s over and done with so can you please stop bothering me now?” he said.

“We will, but there better not be any more pranks or tricks at all.”

“I’ll try to do my very best,” he said disappearing suddenly.

“Well I’m glad that’s over with,” Twilight said as she went back to sit down at her desk as she started to read over her books again.

“Uh Twilight, we have a few problems,” Pinkie Pie said now then.

“And what would they be exactly?”

“Well now I can’t move at all and I also have to go to the bathroom too as well!”
