Sonic and Equestria Girls chapter 13

It was early morning in the city of Canterlot.  Pinkie Pie was inside the Sugarcube corner at the counter, which was empty aside from her. She received a hot chocolate from Mrs. Cake in a cup. Pinkie then pulled out  whipped cream can from her hair and then she placed it on her drink until the can was empty.  The amount was quite tall and went up to her head. She then drank it very quickly. She had some leftover whipped cream on her face which formed a Santa Claus beard.  She then licked off as her tongue did a swirl around her mouth.

“Delicious! You make the best hot chocolate ever!” Pinkie said happily.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it Pinkie.” Mrs. Cake said with a smile. “Listen, do you have a minute?”

“Of course, I do! I have 2, 3, 4,5,6,7,8….”Pinkie said as she started to count her fingers. Mrs. Cake then grabbed her hands to gather her attention. They made eye contact.

“Pinkie, my husband and I tomorrow have to leave for the entire day for the Retails Bakers association. The thing is, we can’t take our children with us. We were wondering if you were free tomorrow to spend the day looking after them.” Mrs. Cake explained.

“Absolutely! I would love to spend the entire day with Pumpkin and Pound!” Pinkie said excitedly. “Normally we don’t get to have much fun, but with an entire day, the list is endless!”

“I’m glad you’re up for the task. But can we ask something of you?” Mrs. Cake asked.

“Sure thing!” Pinkie said.

“We were hoping you could have someone else assist you. We trust you and all, but an entire day of babysitting for one person could be quite tedious. So do you mind bringing along someone extra to supervise-er I mean help you out?” Mrs. Cake requested.

“No problem! Doing things I love with my friends makes it much better!” Pinkie said.

“Perfect. Be there around 8 in the morning.” Mrs. Cake said.

Pinkie nodded her head and then she skipped out of the café to head for school. As she was skipping, she then stopped for a moment. She placed her hand on her chin.

“Hmmmmm, now who could I bring along?” Pinkie wondered as she tapped her chin with her index finger. She thought for a while. Just then her eyes widened and she did a wide smile.

“I know just the person!” Pinkie said. She then resumed skipping to head for school.

In the hallway of Canterlot high, Shadow was in front of the vending machine.  Shadow placed a dollar in the slot and then waited for 5 seconds. His dollar came out from the slot. Shadow placed the dollar back in and waited for 5 seconds. His dollar came out again. Shadow pushed his dollar in the slot with two hands and then waited again for 5 seconds. His dollar was returned to him. Shadow firmly pushed the dollar in the vending machine. It came out shortly after 5 seconds. Shadow then punched the vending machine with great force in anger, causing it to crack and break down and drop out a few peanut butter crackers. Shadow then walked off and saw a shocked Flash Sentry in front of him. He was holding out a dollar. He was speechless.

“It’s broken.” Shadow told him. He then walked off. As he walked through the hallway, Pinkie popped up in front of him suddenly, startling him as he jumped back.

“Hi, Shadow!” Pinkie said.

“(Argh, not now.)” Shadow thought to himself. “What do you want?”

“I was wondering, are you free tomorrow?” Pinkie asked.

“Yes. What of it?” Shadow replied.

“Perfect! In that case, how’d you like to help me babysit the Cake’s babies tomorrow?” Pinkie asked.

“Me? Babysit? Don’t waste my time.” Shadow said as he turned away from her and folded his arms.

“Please?? They said I could bring someone extra.” Pinkie explained as she came in front of him.

“Why’d you choose me of all people? Don’t you have like 5 other friends you could ask?” Shadow said.

“Trueee, but I think babysitting could help you the most. It’s such a great thing to do. With your problems, you could definitely use the benefits.” Pinkie responded. Shadow's ears perked up at the mention of the word problems and he stared at her.

“Problems? What problems? I don’t have any problems! I’m the ultimate lifeform!” Shadow said defensively.

“Really? Let’s see then.” Pinkie said. She dashed off and then returned wearing a white psychiatric lab coat, complete with the glasses.  She pulled out a long list from her hair. It went down to the ground and extended past the two of them. Pinkie adjusted her glasses.

“What is wrong with Shadow, page 1. Hallucinations, Depression, Violent mood swings, Angst related to memories, Anti-Social tendencies, Psychopathy, possible Sociopathy, Anger issues…” Pinkie read.

“Hey, I don’t have anger issues.” Shadow said at that last point. Just then Sandalwood walked by and he accidentally bumped into Shadow from the behind.

“Oh, sorry dude.” He said politely. Shadow then grabbed him menacingly and he looked scared. He gulped as Shadow pulled him up to his face.

“Next time, watch where you’re going, or I’ll make you really sorry!” Shadow said darkly.  Pinkie looked on and she wrote on the list.

“Does not respond well to kindness and Denial.” She said. Shadow noticed this and he let Sandal go, who then walked off in a hurry.

“Whatever, but still babysitting is not my thing.” Shadow insisted.

“Oh come on. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Pinkie begged as she peered into his face.

Shadow rolled his eyes. He knew she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“Fine, I’ll do it.” Shadow grumbled.

“Yaaaay!” Pinkie said. She reached for a hug, but Shadow held his hand out.

“So, what time should I be there?” Shadow asked.

“8 in the morning.” Pinkie replied.

“8? Not a problem then.” Shadow said.

“Great, it’s a date then!” Pinkie said happily as she clasped her hands together and lifted her right leg up.

“I’m not going on a date with you.” Shadow said.

“It’s an expression silly. Anyway, we’re going to have so much fun tomorrow!” Pinkie said. She hugged Shadow very tightly. Shadow then teleported out of her grip, leaving her surprised as usual. Meanwhile, the scene changed to a few blocks away. It was in the middle of a plain.  Eggman was with his Eggmobile, hovering mid-air above the plain. Attached to it with a yellow claw from the behind, were 5 rectangular shaped capsules. They were colored yellow, green, pink, blue and orange. Eggman pressed a red button on his mobile and the claw let the capsules loose and they fell to the ground in the plain. Orbot appeared next to Eggman on his right.

"Sir, is this really such a good idea?" Orbot asked.

"This is the best idea I could come up with for now. These things are too dangerous. I made them too self-aware." Eggman explained. "Now let's get out of here before someone see's us."

Eggman then flew away quickly with the egg mobile.  Shortly after he left, the capsules glowed their respective colors. “Chaos energy detected.” The capsules read. They then started to open up.  5 figures crawled out, shadowed but they all had something in common. Shadow’s hairstyle.

The next day in the morning, the doorbell to the Cake’s house rang. The door was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
“Pinkie, thank you for coming.” Mrs. Cake said with delight and a warm smile. She then turned and saw Shadow next to Pinkie. She looked slightly displeased as she lost her smile.

“And you are?” Mrs. Cake asked.

“I’m Shadow.” Shadow told her without emotion.

“Yep! He’s my special friend!” Pinkie said happily.

“No, I’m not.” Shadow said.

“Why don’t you two come on in?” Mr. Cake said.

As the two of them walked and entered the living room where the twins were playing on the carpet. Before Pinkie could greet them, the Cakes took Pinkie aside near the door.

“Uh Pinkie, are you sure he’s really suitable for babysitting?” Mrs. Cake asked in a whispered manner as she observed Shadow. He just looked around the house and appeared to be bored. The twins looked up at him, with confused expressions on their faces.

“Of course, why wouldn’t he be?” Pinkie asked.

“Well, he looks a little….unfriendly. I don’t think the twins would respond well to him.” Mr. Cake said with concern as he too observed Shadow.

”Oh don’t be silly! Despite what he says, deep down Shadow’s a big softie!” Pinkie said. “He’s also really responsible as well.”

The Cakes looked at each other but said nothing. They walked away from their corner and out in the open with Pinkie and met Shadow in the room.

“Well, Pinkie since you know what to do normally, we don’t really have anything to explain. Just watch them closely, all right?.” Mrs. Cake said.

“Absolutely!” Pinkie declared.  Shadow looked disinterested, but he nodded his head. The Cakes then walked out the door after picking up a handbag of their own, leaving Pinkie and Shadow with the babies.

“Hey, guys!” Pinkie said to the twins as she turned to them and waved like crazy.  The babies smiled and started to giggle.

“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself Shady?” Pinkie asked.

“Why? They're babies. They won’t remember me by tomorrow.” Shadow stated.

“Come on, don’t be so grumpy. Their special babies, they always remember a friendly face.” Pinkie said.

Shadow rolled his eyes and he came in front of the babies. They stopped laughing and stared at him.

“Hi.” Shadow said deadpan as he looked down on them. The babies just looked up at him, emotionless.

“Ok Pinkie, so what’s the plan?” Shadow asked her as he turned to her.

“I have the perfect day planned out!” Pinkie said. She reached into her hair and pulled out a small list that said Pumpkin and Pound Cake’s best day of fun.

“We have the whole day ahead, and we can’t waste any minute. Let’s get going!” Pinkie said with excitement. She then dashed off from the living room and upstairs and came back down with a double baby stroller.  She placed the babies inside and went out the door quickly. Shadow groaned and followed her outside.

“This is going to be a long day.” Shadow said.

The two of them walked outside in the city on the sidewalk as Pinkie pushed the stroller. It was a sunny day outside with a clear sky. Shadow's face was the perfect contrast to the weather.

“Isn’t this just perfect?” Pinkie said to Shadow. “You, me, with Pumpkin and Pound.”

“(Far from it.)” Shadow thought.  “So, what’s our first stop on this ‘special day’?”

“Well, it’s still quite early, so let’s take the twins out for some breakfast.” Pinkie said. “I know just the place.”

The two of them walked and entered in front of a small green building with 4 purple tables on the outside, each with two blue chairs. The sign read, THE CANTERLOT CAFE in bright pink and yellow colors.   Shadow looked displeased. The two of them entered and encountered a worker wearing a green uniform and with brown skin and yellow short hair.

“Table for two please and some room for babies.” Pinkie Pie requested.

“Awwww, this is so cute.  Sure thing! Anything for such a cute couple!” The worker responded with delight. Shadow’s eye’s widened at the word couple.

“Oh, it’s not like that. We’re not a couple.” Shadow explained.

“Oh sure, keep telling yourself that. Ah, young love.” The worker said as he walked off to go find them a table.  Pinkie just stood there smiling and Shadow looked uncomfortable. He crossed his arms. They then followed them.

The two sat down at a table, with the stroller next to them.  Shadow just ordered a small cup of hot chocolate and sipped it quietly. while Pinkie ordered a large stack of pancakes that covered her completely. Before she ate them, she cut some into small pieces and fed them to the twins.

“Shadow, can you help me feed the twins? It would be much easier.” Pinkie said.

Shadow sighed and began to help her feed them as he took his fork and cut the pancakes into small pieces and feed them to Pound Cake. As he did, everyone in the restaurant started to look at them with delight as they smiled. Shadow noticed this.

“What are you all looking at? Mind your own business.” Shadow told them. The people didn’t respond to him. “I said mind you own business.” Again no one responded and just continued to look at them.

“You two are just cute together!.” a young woman with pink skin and yellow long hair said.

“We’re not together.” Shadow said firmly.  Pinkie giggled.

“Looks like someone’s having trouble expressing their feelings.” An elderly bald man with light blue skin said.

“Listen kid, I’ll give you some advice. When the wife and I go out-.” A middle-aged man with lavender skin and a short brown toupee started to say before Shadow cut him off.

“What the? Who are you people even?  Look there is nothing romantic going on between us.” Shadow insisted.

“You’re young, you’ll understand one day.” An elderly woman with white hair and red skin replied.

“All right, that’s it. Pinkie, we 're leaving.” Shadow said. He got up and took out his wallet. He then left money, about 30 dollars on the table as he placed it down firmly.

“But we just got here.” Pinkie protested. Shadow grabbed her with his right hand and placed his left hand on the stroller. They teleported out of there. The people didn’t seem to be bothered by what they saw and just went back to enjoying their breakfast.

They ended up in the middle of the sidewalk. Pumpkin and Pound laughed.

“Oh, I think they like that.” Pinkie said happily.

“Looks, let’s just get this moving. “ Shadow said. “Where to now?”

“Now is where the real fun starts.  Next stop, the Canterlot fair!” Pinkie said and she jumped up and down with excitement, making the babies laugh. Shadow had a long look on his face. The two headed off of the fair as they walked up north. As they were walking towards it, they passed by Flash Sentry. He had a confused look on his face, seeing the two of them. Shadow came up to him before he could speak up.

“You…saw….nothing.” Shadow threatened before he walked away, leaving him alone.  He just shrugged. Eventually, the two of them reached the entrance to the fair. There was a large pink Ferris wheel in the background alongside many small booths such as dunk tanks, cotton candy machines, a photo-booth, Water squirting events and a booth that sold stuffed animals. Pinkie dashed in excitedly with the stroller. She then dashed back shortly after.

“Come on Shadow, don’t be so slow!! ” Pinkie screamed impatiently. She couldn't contain her excitement.

“Yeah, but I don’t want to be seen with you.” Shadow said.

They passed the entrance and looked around. The fair as well  a ball pit, a merry go round, stands with different kinds of food such as Candy apples, Pies and more.

“Are you ready for fun?!” Pinkie said in the stroller to the babies. They laughed.

“No.” Shadow muttered to himself.

The two first went inside the photo booth with the twins. They took a flash of many photos, with Pinkie and the twins making large smiles in the first photo, crazy faces with their tongues out in the second, duck faces for selfies in the third and Pinkie covering their eyes as they covered her's in the 4th.  Shadow’s face just remained the same with a frown. Pinkie collected the photos as she exited the photo booth from the machine's right.

“Perfect! This is going to be a day to remember.” Pinkie said as she placed the photos in her hair.

Pinkie pushed the stroller over to the candy apple table. She got two normal apples, each for the twin. Pinkie got three caramel apples for herself and started to eat them as she stuffed all three in her mouth.

“(What have I gotten myself into? I just hope something comes to distract me from this. I don’t care what it is.)” Shadow thought to himself. Just then, an object was coming down towards the ground at high speed. It was approaching the fair, specifically the apple stand. It caught Shadow’s attention and he looked up at it,

“I wonder what that is? Is it a bird, a plane, a meteor, a giant flying cake?” Pinkie wondered as she noticed the object.

The object crashed into the candy apple stand, destroying it as the owner fled from it, sending apples everywhere.  People began to notice and approached it. Out of the smoke, the object was clear. It was Shadow. However, it looked different. Rather than having red stripes, it had yellow ones and yellow eyes as well. Shadow and Pinkie looked on in confusion.

“What is this?” Shadow said.

“Shadow, how are you here if you’re there as well?” Pinkie asked confused.

Dashing in front of the other Shadow was another …Shadow? However, this one was completely metallic with a silver body. It had blue stripes rather than yellow and it had glowing red eyes with black sclera. For it's left arm, it had a machine gun attached.

“Three Shadows?” Pinkie said as she counted her fingers.

An explosion appeared from the behind and Shadow and Pinkie turned around as people ran away and began to panic from the explosion as the merry-go-round was destroyed. Out of the explosion, three figures blew away from each other and faced off. The three figures were again Shadow. They looked identical to the blue Shadow, except they had green, orange, and pink stripes. The pink one had a machine gun attached to one arm and the other two had bazookas attached to their arms.

“What the hell’s going on here?” Shadow said with disbelief.

“Five Shadows! Wow, this could be so much fun if it didn’t look so dangerous.” Pinkie said as she brought her hands to her face.

The five Shadows faced off with each other.

“You fakers just don’t know when to quit, do you?” The green Shadow stated.

“Faker? Ha! It’s clear I’m the original!” The yellow Shadow said.

“Don’t delude yourself, android. I’m Shadow!” The blue one exclaimed.

“You all may look like me, but I know you’re just fakes.” The pink one said.

“Let’s see which one of us is the fake then” The orange one replied.

The blue one got his machine gun and fired at the other Shadows, who evaded the gunfire with ease. The pink one responded with trying shoot back, while the green and orange used their bazookas as well. The yellow one fired chaos spears. The fight between them was causing damage to the fair and destroying parts of it such as the photo booth and dunk tank as the Shadow's missed each other. An explosion appeared behind Shadow and Pinkie. The babies began to cry.

“You need to get to safety.” Shadow told Pinkie. Using his speed, he dashed Pinkie and the twins to the ball pit.

“Stay here.” Shadow told her.

“What about you?” Pinkie asked.

“I’ll put an end to this.” Shadow replied.  He dashed off to go face his duplicates.

The androids began to cause more destruction as they fired and people ran off in fear. The green one aimed his bazooka at a Ferris wheel, where the pink one was on. As he was about to fire, Shadow dashed and knocked him on the ground. The pink one noticed this.

“Another one?” The pink one said. He dashed towards Shadow off the wheel, who teleported and then kicked him in the back of the head from the behind mid-air. The blue one aimed his gun and tried to shoot Shadow as he landed on the ground. Shadow dashed through and went through him, causing him to be launched up in the air. The yellow one tried to punch Shadow from the behind, but Shadow leaped over him and hopped off his head. Lastly, Shadow grabbed the orange one by his bazooka arm and threw him to the ground. Shadow was now facing all five of the androids.

“How many more copies do I have to destroy?” The yellow one said irritated.

“Copies? You’re all mistaken. I’m the real Shadow.” Shadow said.

“Nonsense, you’re just as defective as the rest of these androids.” The orange said.

“No, I’m not since I know I’m the original Shadow.” Shadow said.

“You can say it as much as you like, but it’s not going to change the fact that I’m the original.” The pink one said. Shadow held his head in annoyance.

“No, you’re not. I’m the real Shadow. The rest of you are just a bunch of robots made to imitate me.” Shadow said.

“Prove it!” The green one said.

“Look, the original has to exist somewhere right? And besides, look at yourselves, you’re clearly robots. Well, maybe the yellow might pass off, but if you hurt yourself, I’m pretty sure you’d fine some kind of mechanical things inside you such as wires.” Shadow explained. The androids became silent and observed each other and lowered their weapons.

“Listen, you five were designed to be copies of me. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. As I can see, you five can think for yourselves. Rather, be your own people, instead of just imitating me.” Shadow said to them. The androids were silent for a while. Then the blue one spoke up.

“You’re right. We are just copies of you.” The blue one said.

“But that doesn’t mean-.” Shadow started to say before the blue one cut him off.

“As long as you’re around that is.” The blue one finished.

“What are you saying?” Shadow said confused. He didn't know where this was going.

“It is true that you’re the original and as long as you exist, we’ll just be copies of you. But, if you were removed from the picture, then who’s to say one of us isn’t the original?” The blue one explained. He turned to the others.

“Listen, I have an idea. For now, let’s team up and get rid of him. We can argue who’s the original later.” The blue one offered.

“Sounds nice.” They all said in union. The five of them now surrounded Shadow.

“That’s not what I meant.” Shadow said. “But if you insist, then I have no choice.”

“You think you can fight us five on one?” The yellow one said.

“Maybe.” Shadow taunted.

The green one fired his bazooka at Shadow, who countered it with a chaos spear. Shadow then teleported through the smoke and upper cutted the android. However, he was kicked in the back the orange one. The blue one then released a kick which Shadow managed to block, but he was knocked aside by the yellow one with a dash.  The pink elbowed Shadow on the ground. As he was getting up, he got kicked in the face by the green one. Shadow staggered back. He dashed off with the androids in pursuit. They used their weapons to try and hit him but Shadow evaded them as they hit the ground or more booths.  Shadow dashed by the ball pit, where the pink one fired his bullets at Shadow and missed. Shadow then remembered Pinkie and the babies in there and he stopped.

“Oh, crap!” Shadow said. He dashed as the bullets appeared in front of Pinkie. However, Pinkie used cartoon physics on the bullets, and moved each bullet around with her finger, causing them to hit the ground.

“Wow, that was dangerous.” Pinkie said with relief.

Shadow looked on in disbelief at what he just witnessed. However, Shadow was hit in the back by the yellow one and the pink one punched him towards the ground. The blue one kneed him in the stomach, and the green and orange one double kicked him on the ground.  The five surrounded him.

“(If only I could just chaos blast these idiots.)” Shadow thought. He then teleported, leaving the five to search for him.

“He must be trying to hide so that the five of us will split up and he can take us down individually.” The yellow one said. “Let’s just shoot down the whole place instead, that’ll make him come out.

“(Damn it! They think like me as well.)” Shadow thought to himself. Shadow teleported himself in front of them.

“Ha, there you are.” The green one said.

Shadow fired a chaos spear on the ground in front of him and he made an explosion on the ground. Shadow leaped up but then behind him, the pink one kicked him on the ground and he was sent crashing to the floor.  The androids surrounded him and started to kick him. Shadow let out groans of pain.  The androids then aimed their weapons at him.

“Finish him.” The orange one said. They all fired their weapons at Shadow and it made an explosion on the ground.

“Did we get him?” The green one asked as the smoke cleared and there was a large hole in the ground.

“I doubt it.  Let’s keep looking.” The blue one said.  The androids began to look around for Shadow as a group. Shadow then entered the ball pit where Pinkie and the twins were. Pinkie gasped when she saw him. She eyed him with suspicion. Shadow noticed this.

"What?!" He asked irritated.

"How do I know you're the real Shadow and not another android?" She asked him as she peered into his face and raised an eyebrow. "Tell me something only Shadow would know."

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm the real one. I'm the one with the red stripes, remember?" Shadow replied as he pointed to his stripes in his hair. Pinkie came out of his face.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. My bad." She said.

“I’m getting wrecked out there. I can’t fight five of me all at once. It’s like fighting five ultimate beings at once.” Shadow said tiredly.

“Also, those meanies are ruining our perfect day for fun!” Pinkie said. “I planned out for this to work perfectly!”

“You know, right now there are more important things than that. Like staying alive.” Shadow said.

“I think I might be able to help you out, Shady.” Pinkie said. Shadow looked at her as if she had lost her mind.

“How? Please tell me you don’t have some kind of party planned out or something. Seeing as their me, they hate parties.” Shadow said.

Pinkie handed the babies to Shadow. She then concentrated on her love for partying and ponied up.

“What are you doing? You can’t fight those five! You’re gonna get killed!” Shadow said.

“I know what I’m doing.” Pinkie said. She came out of the ball pit and confronted the five androids who were approaching it. They came face to face with her.

“What is this?” The yellow one said bored.

“You five ruined a perfect day for fun! I made a pinkie promise to make it happen and I never go back on a pinkie promise!” Pinkie said annoyed and with a glare.

“And your point is?” The blue one said.

“I’m going to stop you.” Pinkie said.

The androids then burst out laughing.

“Oh, what are you going to do huh?” The pink one mocked.

Pinkie Pie concentrated her hands and then she fired a stream of magical balloons that glowed and crackled with pink electricity at the Shadow androids.  The balloons hit the androids and they fell to the floor. They then picked themselves up, unfazed and more annoyed.

“Is that all you can do?” The orange one said.

The androids began to walk towards Pinkie, but as they did, they started to become slower. They started to short circuit with sparks flying and their heads spazzing out. Their eyes started to flash before turning completely dark and eventually. they stopped moving in place and their heads dropped. Shadow looked on and he exited the pit with the babies.

“What just happened?” Shadow said. He couldn't believe what had happened.

“They short circuited silly.” Pinkie told him.

“How did you know that they would short circuit like that?” Shadow asked her.

“I remember one time when Sunset was testing out our magical powers, I fired a bunch of balloons at her and after they hit her, she was kind of shocked or something. I figured that should work against robots.” Pinkie explained.

“Pinkie, you’re a genius.” Shadow said, clearly impressed. “Now if you’ll excuse me.” He handed the babies back to Pinkie.

“REVENGE!” Shadow said and he began to destroy the Shadow Androids. It was shown offscreen. Pinkie and the babies looked on. Pinkie looked on in disbelief and the babies began to smile. Pinkie covered their eyes as Shadow destroyed them. Parts began to fly and there were green flashes.Later when Shadow was finished, he was holding the severed head of the yellow one.

“I think I might keep this.” Shadow said as he approached Pinkie with the head.

“I should add sadism to my list as well.” Pinkie said. “But now that that’s finished, let’s get on with our day of fun!”

“Ha, No. I’m done for the day. I woke up early in the morning. I went with you to that restaurant and to top it off,  I just got  nearly killed by 5 androids .” Shadow said. "Look around, the fair is a mess."

Pinkie looked around and noticed. The booths were destroyed and in rubble. There were wooden parts all over the floor, with some even burning. There were giant holes on the ground as well. Pieces of the merry-go-round were on the floor. The only thing intact was the Ferris wheel.
“But you said you’d help me babysit. And besides, I think the twins are beginning to like you.” Pinkie said. She looked down and the babies looked at Shadow with smiles from their strollers.

“Sha-.” Pumpkin managed to say.

“-dow.” Pound finished. Pinkie squealed.

“Aw, how cute!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Even if the fair is gone, we can go have fun plenty of other ways!”

Shadow groaned in and realized that it was futile to resist. He then followed Pinkie as she exited the fair, to go find fun somewhere else.

THE END.
