There was a realm in Equestria where the average pony was not meant to go: The Realm of Chaos. It was home of only one sentient being, and said being was floating aimlessly over the Chaotic Sea, drawing madly away at an art easel with a pencil. Discord paused for a moment, snapping his fingers to put on some art clothing.
The lord of chaos froze for a moment in thought, before being struck by inspiration. Kissing his pencil Discord went back to scribbling until in his excitement his pencil went slipping out of his claw, watching it fall in the dark waters, sinking to who knows.
“No, my pencil!” Discord swiped at the water, having learned an important lesson of the sea: always bring an extra pencil. “NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” The pencil meanwhile kept falling until it broke through the open skies of Equestria, and right over Ponyville. Way down below two ponies were deep in a game.
“Ready Derpy?” Pinkie asked with a bubble wand.
“Ready!” The cross eyed pony had her own wand.
“1.”
“2.”
“3!” Both ponies blew into their wands, forming bubbles. “Scissors beats Paper Derpy!” Pinkie said as her bubble beat her friends, both popping as the two laughed heartily. Dipping their wands into the bubble solution both ponies were ready to continue their game. “Ready?”
“1.”
“2.”
“3!” Both ponies blew and tied with paper. “Derpy, how come you always choose paper?” Pinkie asked confusedly as the bubbles floated up. Much to their surprise a large pencil pierced through the bubbles before embedding itself into the ground. Pinkie and Derpy began screaming and blindly running around, the cross eye pony pausing for a moment to look at the pencil before panicking again. After a moment both peeked out from behind Pinkies house.
“What is that thing Pinkie?”
“It looks like a giant pencil…”
“Go touch it.” Derpy dared. Pinkie cauiously stretched her hoof and lightly poked it.
“It is a giant pencil Derpy! The party pony said happily, having stretched her leg out several feet before plucking the pencil from the ground. “Lets draw some giant pictures with it!” Derpy stood over her shoulder.
“Whatchu drawing?” Pinkie pushed her friend back.
“Stand back Derpy! Cant draw with you breathing over my shoulder.”
“Artist.” The pegasus scoffed. Pinkie scribbled away until she was finished.
“Its a twittermite!” '
“Pretty good, Pinkie! But it's lacking basic construction, and your perspective leaves a lot to be desired.” Derpy said as Pinkie rolled her eyes.
“Everyponies's a critic.” To Derpys surprise the drawing peeled off the ground.
“Pinkie your arts coming to life!”
“Now thats more like it miss critic!” Pinkie said happily.
“No! Really! It’s floating away!” Derpy pointed as the twittermite drawing floated off.
“Do you know what this means?”
“Your art can never hang in a museum.” The muffin loving pony noted.
“It means we found a magic pencil!” Pinkie said, holding the writing tool up.Derpy began clapping her hooves.
“Now all I need is a magical hat! Then all my dreams will have come true!” Pinkie laughed heartily.
“Coming right up!” Pointing the pencil over Derpys head the party pony drew a magical looking hat.
“Life is good!” Derpy said happily, until the hat proceeded to float away. “Easy come easy go.” Meanwhile in her trailer next to the two friends Trixie was looking at herself longingly in the mirror.
“Hmm, If Trixie had a new hat she’d be the most gorgeous creature in the sea! Shes got looks...talent...all she needs is a brand new…” The hat Pinkie drew floated in and landed on her head. “Hat!” The performer said happily.
“My turn!” Derpy said but Pinkie clutched the pencil.
“Be careful, Derpy! Being an artist is a heavy responsibility. Each work of art is like a child and must be treated as such.”
“Come on! I was just going to draw a cartoon.”
“Okay! Why didn't you say so?” Derpy took the pencil and began drawing something with a frown and a shaking hoof. “Hey! Another twittermite!”
“Its Trixie silly.” The crude Trixie drawing sprung up, mumbling and shaking in anger.
“She looks kinda creepy when she moves.” Pinkie noted.
“Yeah you’re right Pinkie.” The drawing then began heading away from the two.
“We can't let her go into town!” Derpy turned the pencil and began erasing her drawing as it screamed and mumbled.
“Poor Trixie.” A lightbulb went off above Pinkies head.
“Okay! My brain just hatched an idea.” The two ponies hurried over to Trixies front door. Pinkie put the pencil tip to the ground and drew a bit on the showmares yellow place mat before drawing a string attached to the coin. “This is gonna be classic!” Meanwhile Trixie was adjusting her hat.
“Trixie thinks she fancies a stroll through the park.” The mare was cut off by the sound of knocking on her door.
“Oh Trixie….” Pinkie called from the hiding place she and Derpy took. Trixie threw her door open.
“What do you- oh hello whats this? Someone left Trixie some bits for a new cape.” Trixie said, taking the bait as Pinkie and Derpy struggled to hold in their laughter. “Come to Trixie!” Pinkie yanked her string, pulling the bit away and watching as Trixie crashed onto the ground. “Ow! Pinkie Pie!” The unicorn noticed her hat on the ground that then proceeded to fly away. “Pinkie!!!!” Trixie slammed her front door with gritted teeth as Pinkie and Derpy collasped and bounced with laughter.
“Wait!” Pinkie said as the two froze mid bounce. “My brain just hatched another idea!” The party pony started scribbling away. “This’ll be the ultimate prank. I’ll draw me, and when Trixie answers the door, it won’t be me!” Pinkie finished the scribble of herself which came to life. “Aww look at her, ain’t she a doll? All she needs is a cutie mark.” Pinkie scribbled three balloons on the drawings flank. “Ready for action!” The doodle of Pinkie screeched out in nonsense as it trotted over.
“Shes going to the door.” Derpy chuckled as the doodle knocked.
“Shes knocking on the door.” Trixie opened the door still looking very annoyed.
“Trixies answering the door and…..” However much to their surprise the doodle lifted Trixie up and began ramming her head onto the ground.
“Oh ow ow ow ow ow ow ohh oww ow ow ow ow ow ow ow owww!!!”
“She’s beating up Trixie!” Derpy laughed, clueless until she and Pinkie watched as the doodle slammed Trixie on the ground over and over.
“DoodlePie! Stop!” Pinkie screamed as it threw Trixie into her trailer, before knocking the other two ponies over and running off with the pencil.
“It has the pencil.” Derpy said as Pinkie looked horrified.
“What have I done? We have to find that thing!”
For the last few hours Pinkie and Derpy looked long and hard but struggled to find the doodle.
“Where could she possibly be?”
“Maybe shes in that poorly drawn cupcake.” Derpy pointed to the drawing in the distance.
“Come on! Lets go!” Derpy however jumped into a bush and started shaking in fear.
“I’m not going in there…” Pinkie then jumped into the same bush next to her friend.
“Come on Derpy, I’m right beside you! Fillysteps.” Their hooves tiptoed quietly along the ground. “Almost there….” From the cupcake however the doodle's hoof came out and drew a hole into the ground that the two ponies then fell into screaming.
“What just happened?” Derpy asked, confused as the doodle taunted them from behind.
“Come on Derpy help me up!” Pinkie said, determined.
“Cant we stay down here where its safe?”
“No way! I created this monster and I need to stop her!” At that instant a drawn wrench dropped onto Derpys head, flattening it.
“Oof!”
“See what I mean Derpy?”
“Wheres the leak mam?” The muffin mare asked in a groggy state. The two ponies peeked out from their hole. The doodle proceeded to draw a bowling ball from a rock next to her crude home, rolling it right at them. Derpy screamed as the ball struck her, sending her back into a hole. Then the ball rolled onto her in the hole for her trouble.
“Are you ok Derpy?” Pinkie called.
“FINLAND!!!!” Derpy echoed in pain. The doodle let out its cry as it held the pencil above its head before Pinkie watched it run off back into the distance.
The two friends trotted quietly in the direction of all the gibberish they’ve been hearing from some distance. Pinkie and Derpy peeked over a boulder as they saw the doodle playing around with the pencil and shouting in nonsense.
“There she is.” Pinkie noted.
“She’s hideous.” Derpy said in disgust. “She makes me sick just looking at her. Those big bulgy eyes, that dumb pink body, that poofy mane and that stupid cutie mark!” Pinkie looked at her own body and cleared her throat. Derpy realized what she was saying. “Oh….but it looks great on you Pinkie! Heh heh.” The cross eye pony said with a blush when they both heard the doodle again.
“She’s putting down the pencil. This is our chance.” Pinkie said as she and Derpy lowered themselves. “On the count of three, we’ll jump out and surprise her!”
“Oh boy a surprise party! Is it her birthday?” Derpy asked clueless as Doodle Pie came crashing right through the boulder between them, taking hold and lifting a thrashing Pinkie above its head.
“Derpy!!!! Derpy!!!! Do something!!!!!!”
“Happy Birthday!” The doodle threw the screaming Pinkie away with a crash. Derpy held up a rock. “Here’s your present! “The doodle took it and bonked the pegasus on the head. “You’re welcome….” Derpy said with a dopey smile on her face. The doodle screamed and turned to run only to meet Pinkie and the pencil eraser.
“Hold it right there doodle! I brought you into this world, and I’m gonna take you out. Any last words?”
“Eha habab aba bobba!”
“I’m sorry what was that?” Pinkie asked confused.
“Eha-habba-babba-bobba.” The doodle said slowly before yelling in gibberish when Pinkie finally erased the doodles face, sending it crashing into a rock.
“Hold still Doodle. This is for your own good!” Pinkie began swiping at the doodle with the eraser. “Take this! And that! And this that this that this that this that!!!!!!” The party pony held the pencil above her head in might. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I AM PINKIE PIE, DESTROYER OF EVIL!!!!!”
“Take it easy its just a drawing.” Derpy said, not impressed by the display.
“Well that takes care of that, eh Derpy?”
“Done and done!” The two ponies turned and trotted off towards home, having reclaimed the pencil and defeating the doodle. However if they had waited a moment they wouldve seen what Pinkie missed: she had failed to erase the entirety of the doodle as one of its arms crawled behind them.
Luna's moon would rise above into the sky as the little ponies of Ponyville drifted off to sleep. Pinkie Pie was busy making changes to her home as she recalled the story of the day to Gummy.
"Gee Gummy you shouldve been there! It sure was exciting!" Pinkie said as she scribbled new changes to her room. "But you know, I sure do miss the little doodle. She was like a daughter to me. But I'm glad things are back to normal." The party pony climbed into her new fancy bed with the pencil by her side. "Well, good night sweet prince." Gummy had a crown drawn upon his head as the little alligator drifted off to sleep. "Good night magic pencil." Pinkie pulled the blanket over herself and the pencil before falling off to sleep.
As the party pony drifted off she had no way of noticing the remaining arm of the doodle crawling its way into the Pie Home, turning on various lights as it climbed up the stairs, pausing to use the bathroom and flush the toilet for some reason before it arrived in Pinkies room, taking hold of the pencil and beginning to draw. The sounds of scribbling woke the earth pony up.
"Oh, hey magic pencil. What are you doing up? Drawing yourself a glass of water?" Pinkie laughed at her joke as the scribbling stop and the newly redrawn doodle stood up as Pinkie noticed. "Ah! Doodle Pie!" The pony laughed nervously. "Eh he....no hard feelings right?" The doodle took the pencil and drew angry eye brows on it as it screamed and pointed the pencil threateningly at Pinkie. "What are you doing doodle?!"
"You doodle! Me Pinkie Pie!" The doodle screeched, speaking for the first time. Pinkie rolled away as the doodle erased half the pillow, making the earth pony run for her life. Pinkie held the door closed between her and doodle as the creation erased the door, pausing to look confused at Pinkie rear end before erasing the line to make it solid.
"Be careful with that! Who knows what will happen!" The doodle erased Pinkie snout. "I noses....." The doodle screamed as it swiped madly away with the eraser. When the dust cloud settled only half of Pinkie remained. The doodle laughed wildly as Pinkie growled. "Very funny Doodle! Now its my turn!" Pinkie grabbed the pencil. The two Pies tugged at the pencil before it broke in two. Pinkie had the half with the pencil point before she redrew herself. "Well Doodle, looks like this....is a draw!" Doodle Pie's mouth turned like a pencil sharpener and quickly sharpened her end. "You made your point. No matter! I was voted most artistic in high school!" The pencil then flew out of her hooves, shattering the window as Pinkie heard a bonk.
"Ow! Pinkie Pie you'll pay for that!" Trixie screamed as Pinkie looked confused.
"Or was it most clumsy?" The doodle stepped forward as Pinkie fell back, screaming and pushing some of her books down, scattering some paper. However then the doodle stepped onto a loose piece of paper which some how absorbed part of her leg. Pinkie opened a book as the doodle shruggled. "Paper!" The doodle failed to see Pinkie as it shruggled. "Page for Miss Doodle!" The party pony slammed the book shut on the screaming doodle. The pony opened the book to see the doodle slowly form on the paper before its face morphed into a smile.
Pinkie pinned the picture of the doodle onto the wall as the sun rose over Ponyville. Derpy knocked and poked her head it.
"Hey Pinkie, whats with all the rucus?"
"See for yourself Derpy!" Pinkie said, pointing at the picture as Derpy gasped.
"Its the evil doodle!"
"No no, not evil." The party pony said as she pulled out some glasses and a bubble pipe. "She was just a poor two dimensional creature, lost in our three dimensional world, longing for a purpose."
"Sooo.....shes a drawing?"
"Exactly! And look how happy she is!" Derpy looked long and hard at Pinkies picture next to the doodle.
"Hmmm, still kinda creepy."
Pinkie now stood on top of a diving board with the pencil, patched together with a bandage, over her head.
"Oh great magic pencil! Your powers are too great for us Equestrians! So we will send you back to the magic kingdom from whence you came! Ready Derpy?" The party pony asked down below.
"Ready!" Pinkie dropped the pencil into the cross eye ponies mouth. Pinkie then jumped and landed on her friend, shooting the pencil out and into the sky. Higher and higher it went until it broke through the realm the ponies lived in. Meanwhile back in the Realm of Chaos Discord sobbed in the fetal position in the bottom of his boat as a pencil shot up and landed next to him.
"Wha? Whats......MY PENCIL!" Discords smile grew wide as he reached forward to draw. However at that moment the lead in his pencil snapped. As he looked in dismay at his broken pencil he realized the 2nd most important rule of the artist as sea: always bring a pencil sharpener. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
