Pinkamena was awoken from her fear induced fit by something cold, wet and sticky landing on her face. her eyes snapped open and she was presented with Discord dangling an empty bucket idly on one claw. catiously she licked the liquad that dripped off her nose and threw a deadpan look at the chaos god.

"Canterlot cola really?" she said flatly.

"It worked didn't it?" he replied with a smirk.

Unimpressed Pinkamena got up and started walking away from him in the hope of finding ponyville, and more importantly, Pinkie. Her progress was halted when Discord flashed infront of her.

"Now where are you off to hm? Wouldn't want to miss out on our little game now do we?" Discord asked and picked her up by the tail and brought her up to his eye level.

"Game?" she asked.

In response the draconeqqus dropped her unceramoniously. Pinkamena felt weightless as she fell for what seemed like an eternity only the land on cold hard stone seconds later.

"Where am I?" she asked as she pulled herself to her hooves and took the maze of underground tunnels and crazy signs that lay before her.

"This is the game" Discord's voice echoed through the area. "One of these tunnels leads to ponyvile find it and you win, fail and well..you'll be trapped here forever!" He explained gleefully.

As his laughter faded Pinkmena looked over her choices as the music began and took of running.

"Tripping out, spinning around. I'm underground, I fell down" she sang. " Yeah I fell down..."

She took a tunnel to the right just in time to dodge the dragon sized earth worm headed her way. her heart pounded against her rib cage as she saw more freakishly large underground horrors ahead.

"I'm freaking out! Where am I now? Upside down? And I can't stop it now"

She noticed a light down another tunnel and the hope of finding her sister again filled her with confidence.
"It can't stop me now!"

She gallopped towards it as fast as her hooves could carry her.

"Ooh-Oooh-Ooh oh! I, I, I'll get by! I, I, I'll survive!".

The cave rumbled around her, she slipped but managed to hold her balance and kept runing while avoiding and jumping over falling boulders.

"When the worlds crashing down, When I fall and hit the ground, I will turn myself around. Don't you try to stop me!"

She burst through the tunnel and her eyes went wide as an even large array of caves lay before her.
"I, I! I won't cry..."

In a flash of light Discord appeared in a row of theater seats nearby with a bag of popcorn in paw, itent on watching how it played out.

"I'll play the game but I can't stay" she sang and walked towards him "I've got my head on straight And I'm not gonna change, I'm not gonna change".

He merely smirked at her.
"I'll win the race!" she continued bravely "Keep up with the pace, today is the day that I start to pray"

"You can't get it my way! no"

And with that she started running once more

"I, I, I'll get by! I, I, I'll survive! When the worlds crashing down, when I fall and hit the ground I will turn myself around Don't you try to stop me! "

"I, I! I won't cry"

At last with all her effort she burst out into the open to find herself standing at the entrance to ponyville. she looked on in bewilderment as the ground was not gras but some from a checkered board game, houses were floating in the air and all other manner of unusual things littered the normally quiet town.

She sank to the ground in a mix of fear and doubt.

"I found myself in wonderland. Get back on my feet again" she sang softly.

"Is this real? Is this pretend?"

"I'll take a stand until the end!"

Just as song reached its climax the music abruptly stopped and Discord flashed into view once more.

"Yes yes that's enough of that" he said in a bored fashion and then turned his attention to Pinkmena.

"Well what do you think? A chaos filled ponyville is so much better don't you agree?" he asked her with a grin.

"Where's Pinkie?" she demanded.

"Is that all you can think about? She's around here somewhere..."

"Tell me!" Pinkamena snapped.

"Why she's at a party of course!" Discord replied slyly and smirked as Pinkamena made a neeline for sugar cube corner.

"The worst party ever" Discord chuckled as soon as the pink mare was out of earshot. "Oh this will be priceless!"
