Batmare and the foal wonder!
Season 2, Chapter one: Batmare returns.
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"But Tiaaaaaaaaaaaa, I'm boooorrrrrreeeeddddd!!!" Luna waggled her hooves in the air as her head hung over the edge of her sister's bed. "Can't we play Batmare and Jokemare again? Didn't you like playing with me?"
Celestia sighed and rolled her eyes as she continued brushing her mane in front of an ornate mirror. "Of course I like playing with you LuLu, but I told you, I'm meeting some important diplomats today, I just don't have time! What about that Trixie friend of yours, can't you play with her?"
"What do you think I was doing these past three days? I've run out of ideas and her body needs a break... stupid mortals."
"What about that little colt? Technically he isn't even supposed to be in jail, you know. I'm sure he'd be delighted to play with you."
"Oh my gosh! I totally forgot about Pipsqueak! ... Meh, I'll let him out later. Can't you play... pleeeeeaaaaasssseee?"
"I suppose I could cut your year off short and you could resume your Royal Duties now."
"Oh! No... that won't be necessary. I'm still adjusting to modern Equestria! I'm sure I'll find something to do. Have fun with your dumb-plomats, sister."
"I thought you might see reason, have fun!"
Luna stuck her tongue out at her sister as she walked out of the bedroom. Quietly seething, she stalked to the gardens to calm down. How dare her sister just leave her like that? She had spent a thousand years holed up in the moon, she needed help re-integrating into society. Ugh! Tia just didn't understand... but then, nopony understands what it feels like to be alone for a thousand years. Well... almost nopony... Luna stopped and looked up at the statue of Discord, god of Chaos. Hmm...
Sixty two marks lined the wall in Pipsqueak's jail cell. He wasn't sure why, but every hour, a guard would come by and scratch a new mark with a screwdriver. Something about 'dramatic effect'. He sighed, it wasn't a bad place, not really. Good food, the other inmates kind of adopted him as a mascot so he never got beat up, and best of all was visitation. He finally got to see his parents! Every day for a whole hour! Yep, life in the slammer wasn't too bad... but he knew it wouldn't last, he'd have to get out eventually. This was no place for a foal to grow up. According to the warden, if Luna didn't come to claim him in seventy-two hours, the adoption would be declared void by 'Royal Boredom' and Pip would be released to his parents! He felt a little sad that the Princess was bored with him, but the feeling soon passed.
Finally making up her mind, Luna began to focus on the statue. Slowly at first, cracks began to appear, releasing only the head from it's stone imprisonment. Discord blinked for a moment, as if awakening from a deep sleep.
"Wha-? Oh, my, why good morning, LuLu!"
"Only my sister can call me that any more, Discord!"
"Aww, so impersonal! I guess that means I'm not 'Dizzy' anymore, then?"
"No!"
"Okay, okay. So why did you free me then?"
"I haven't freed you yet, Dizzy- IMEANDISCORD!"
"Bwa ha ha, looks like I've still got it! Yes, I see my body still seems a bit stiff, so what is it you want?"
"I'm bored, and Tia won't play with me, so I've got a proposition."
An evil smile spread across Discord's face, and if he could have, he would have leaned forward in interest. "I'm ALL ears!"
"I want to play Batmare some more, but my sister is too busy to play with me. So if you agree to follow the rules, I'll let you out of your prison for a while. You'll get to play around and have fun, and so will I. The number one rule is you have to go back to your prison if I tell-"
"Rules? What fun are rules, my dear LuLu? I think I will accept your invitation to play... with one amendment... No rules!"
With that, a magical burst blinded Luna, when she could see again, the head of Discord's statue was gone. "...oops."
As the scene freezes, a red unicorn stallion with yellow mane and tail walks on-screen and clears his throat. In a classic anouncer-pony voice he proceeds...
"What's this? The King of Chaos let out by our very own caped crusader? With Discord out, all the rules really are out the window this time. And what of the foal wonder? Will he be released to his prospective, and proper, parents? Or will Batmare summon her old chum back to her side? Will Batmare defeat the dizzying destructiveness of Discord?
Find out next time, same Bat-time! Same Mare-Channel!"
