Batmare and the foal wonder!

Princess Luna frantically shaped a rock to match the statue's missing head. If her sister ever found out she set Discord free, even just a part of him, she'd likely send Luna to the sun. She would be toast... literally!

"Princess? Um... what are you doing?" The head froze in place inches above the statue. So close!

"Ah, Twilight, good to see you! I'm just putting this statue's head back on; it seems I knocked it off. Clumsy me!"

"Wait, that's the statue of Discord... it's a magically created prison! You couldn't knock a peice of it off with a wrecking ball!"

"Are you calling me fat?"

"What? No! Stop changing the subject... you released Discord, didn't you?"

"Just his head... it was an accident."

"How can you accidentally release the God of Chaos's head? Actually, how can he survive without a body?"

"Maybe he's like a salamander."

"What?"

"You know, you cut their head off and the body grows back?"

"Princess, I am absolutely positive that is not how salamanders work."

"...Oh... so that's why Slimy died!"

"You... you cut off your pet salamander's head?"

"It was an experiment. Slimy died in the name of science."

"That's not science! That's animal cruelty!"

"You say 'potato' I say 'potatoe'."

"Animal cruelty is not science, and you just said 'potato' twice."

"I like potatoes. This is getting us nowhere, look you have to promise not to tell Celestia."

"But... I'm her most faithful student! I can't lie to her!"

"You don't have to, just don't tell her. I'll handle Discord's head."

"What, by yourself?"

"No... I'm going to need backup for this one... and I know just the pony for the job!"

"Pipsqueak?"

"Who? Oh, yeah... him too. Where is he, anyway?"

"He was sent to prison as part of the finale. You were supposed to give him a ride home."

"Oh, right. Well it looks like..." Sunglasses magically appear over Luna's eyes. "...this sentence is over!"

"Oh not this manure again."

Pipsqueak watched in excitement as the guard scratched the sixty-eighth mark on the cell wall. Only a few more hours and he would be free! Finally back with his parents, too! But the guard didn't leave. Instead he turned and smiled at the small colt.

"Well, looks like that's it."

"What's it?"

"You're being released early, you're free to go!"

"Really? That's gweat!"

"Yep, your parent's here to pick you up."

He was finally going to be reunited with his parents, too! Could this day get any better? Pip was literally skipping as the guard escorted him out of the prison. The skipping ceased suddenly, however, as they rounded the final bend. There was Princess Luna, in all her radiant glory, waiting for him. The tiny foal slowed to a walk, visibly shaken by this unexpected turn. Hadn't the princess forgotten about him?

"Ah! Pip old chum, am I glad to see you!"

"I thought you forgot about me, just left me hewe to rot."

"What? Of course not! I had to cut through all kinds of red tape just to get you released. You did attempt to assassinate Celestia after all."

"Well... okay. It's good to see you too, pwincess." Pip managed a smile despite his dissapointment. He was glad she hadn't simply forgotten about him, at least.

"There's danger ahoof, old friend, and I need your help right away!"

"Danger? Is Jokmare back?"

"Not yet, Pip, this is something else... something far more dangerous. Discord has escaped!"

"What? How?"

"I may have accidentally let his head out."

Pipsqueak tried to make sense of the sentence, but ultimately decided he didn't want to. "Oh."

"Don't worry old boy, I've learned from my mistakes! I have a few new 'toys' for you to play with back at the Bat-cave." Luna gave Pip a conspirational wink.

The foal wonder shuddered. "They aren't anything like the toys you gave Alfalfared, are they?"

The alicorn actually blushed. "What? No! How do you know about those? Never mind, we must make haste old chum, to the Bat-cave!"

With that, Luna heroically dashed away from the embarassing scene. Pipsqueak just shook his head and followed at a steady trot. Discord? Wasn't he a god? Well, he had faced a god before... and actually kind of won! If he could get rid of the draconequus, maybe Luna would finally get bored and let him see his parents. That settled it:

"One god of chaos... coming up!"

Discord's invisible head floated by the prison's exit, watching the foal trot away. He imagined he was bridging his fingers. "Oh really? How interesting..."

What's this? It seems like the dynamic duo is back in action. But will the world's greatest mare-tective and her trusty chum be able to stop Discord while he's still ahead? Will Twilight keep quiet about her little tete a tete with Luna? Or will Jokemare come out of hiatus to put her little sister in the slammer next to Pip?

The only way to find out is to stay tuned! Same Bat-time, same mare-channel!
