Stone Cold

Pinkie Pie and Sandbar made their way to Cheese Sandwiche’s fun factory. When they walked in, Cheese sandwich was working on a cupcake cannon. As soon as he saw Pinkie Pie, he ran up and gave her a hug so strong that she inflated like a balloon.

“Pinkie Pie! It is so great to see you!” Cheese said with his usual high enthusiasm. “What brings you here?”

Pinkie Pie sighed. “Well Cheese, things are not so good.” She then went on to explain the problem with Flurry Heart.

Cheese was super surprised by what he heard. “What?! That’s terrible! Who would have thought that something so small would be so dangerous?”

“She has to be stopped!” Sandbar said. “Flurry Heart is a threat to all of Equestria!”

“But I’m just a simple party pony. What can I do to help?”

“We have to do something, Cheese!” Pinkie Pie said in a panicked voice. “All of Equestria is at stake!”

The fun factory then started to violently shake. The roof was torn off and Flurry Heart appeared. “Fwound you!”

Both Sandbar and Pinkie Pie slowly backed away. Cheese Sandwich looked up a Flurry Heart.

“Hey there, Flurry Heart! How about a song!” Cheese then twirled around and he suddenly had on a drum, cymbals, a tuba, and an accordion. He was basically a one pony marching band.

Cheese then began to play wacky songs. Flurry Heart laughed and applauded. While Flurry Heart was distracted, Cheese looked over at Pinkie and Sandbar nodded to his right.

Pinkie and Sandbar looked over and saw Cheese’s magic satchel. Pinkie soon figured out what Cheese wanted her to do.

“Follow me.” Pinkie whispered to Sandbar. They then both moved quickly and quietly towards the magic satchel.

“Where are we going?” Sandbar asked in a whispered voice.

“To get Cheese Sandwich’s magic satchel.” Pinkie replied.

Sandbar was confused. “What’s that?”

“A magic satchel is bottomless and can contain anything and everything. Every party pony has one.”

“How is this supposed to stop Flurry Heart?”

“Once we put Flurry Heart in the magic satchel, she won’t be able to find her way out. She’ll be trapt.”

“Can’t she just teleport?”

“That’s the best part. Magic satchels are designed to contain even the most powerful of magical items. Flurry Heart won’t be able to teleport out.”

It felt like forever, but Pinkie and Sandbar finally made it over to Cheese’s magic satchel. They were just in time too, because Cheese was starting to become exhausted from entertaining Flurry Heart.

Pinkie reached into the magic satchel and was able to find a combination bicycle helicopter. “Wait here.” She whispered to Sandbar. Pinkie then got onto the device and flew up and behind Flurry Heart with the magic satchel.

Cheese was sweating profusely. It was obvious that he couldn’t continue performing for much longer. Pinkie then made her move. She jumped from the copter-bike and placed the magic satchel over Flurry Heart. Cheese was able to catch Pinkie before she hit the ground. Pinkie then tied the magic satchel shut.

Cheese wiped the sweat from his brow. “I didn’t think I could have kept on doing polka for much longer.”

Pinkie patted the magic satchel. “I really appreciate what you did, Cheese. This little terror was a threat to all of Equestria.”

Sandbar approached the magic satchel carefully. “Is it over? Will I get my family back?”

Both Pinkie and Cheese smiled and placed a hoof on Sandbar’s shoulders.

“Don’t worry, Sandbar.” Pinkie said. “Everything is going to be all-”

Pinkie was then cut off when the magic satchel began to vibrate. It rose into the air and let off a bright red glow. The magic satchel then exploded, and Flurry Heart hoovered in the air. Her main and tail were on fire, and flames came out of her eyes.

“Yu big meanies!” Flurry Heart screamed. She then began blasting everything in sight with her horn.

Pinkie, Cheese, and Sandbar all ducked out of the way. “Run! We have to get out of here!” Pinkie shouted.The three of them zigged and zagged as they ran to avoid Flurry Heart’s magic blasts. After they ran out of the emergency exit, Cheese looked back to see his factory burst into flames and crumble.

Flurry Heart flew straight up into the air from the rubble and let out another scream. She continued to fire magic blasts everywhere. Pinkie, Cheese, and Sandbar all took refuge in a nearby cave. They remained super quiet as Flurry Heart flew by, leaving them unnoticed.

The three of them remained in the cave until nightfall. When they were sure that Flurry Heart was gone, Cheese started a fire to keep them warm.

“I’m sorry about your factory being destroyed, Cheese.” Pinkie said apologetically.

Cheese looked at Pinkie and smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Buildings come and go, but it’s your fellow ponies that matter. Besides, I still have boneless 2.” Cheese then took out his rubber chicken.

“Most of Equestria has been turned into stone foals. Not even a magic satchel could contain Flurry Heart. We might as well give up.” Sandbar said with a depressed look on his face.

Pinkie pounded her hoof on the ground. “No! We can’t give up! Equestria needs us now more than ever!”

“You’re right, but we can’t do this with just the three of us.” Cheese said. “We need to find more help.”

“But where?” Sandbar asked. “Most of Equestria is under the control of Flurry Heart.”

“Then we’ll just have to go beyond Equestria for help.” Pinkie said.

The next morning Pinkie, Cheese, and Sandbar all made their way south to Clug Town. Once there, they bought tickets aboard an airship that was bound for Griffonstone.
