and CAMERAPONY #3

“Work!” Pinkie said. She lashed Apple Bloom, hoping pain compliance would work on her. Wait, that sounds like something else I’m writing. No, that’s where Diamond lashed Apple Bloom, this is the right thing.

“I’m just a li’l’ filly, Ah can’t dig forever.”

“Scootaloo’s doing just fine.”

“That’s different for a reason Ah suspiciously can’t articulate.”

“Work!” She lashed her again.

“Ah thought Mahnor Mane Six was supposed ta be all upbeat an’ stuff.”

“Work!”

“I wanted to be paired with Apple Bloom,” Scootaloo said.

“It’s okay for a reason I can’t think of,” Fluttershy said.

“Big Mac ‘n’ stuff,” Butterscotch said.

“Shut up,” camerapony #3 said.

“Big Mac ‘n’ stuff.”

“Increase your cessancy.”

Butterscotch ate a granola bar in two bites. Said granola bar was of the Grayesla brand, who were currently doing a sponsorship deal with Big Mac.

“I should’ve brought food,” camerapony #3 said.

Meanwhile, back on the surface, Spike claw-macheted his way through some plants that weren’t there last episode to find the Minor Mane Six clearing, featuring a suspicious hole and piles of earth.

“This looks like the place,” Spike said to himself, “If that purposeless base-esque hole in the ground is anything to go by.”

Spike went down to investigate to see the five servants (or slaves depending upon Pinkie’s mood) digging in a row. And also Pinkie. They had cleared out an area exactly as large as the room you’re in. None of the servants or Pinkie seemed to notice him.

“Uh...” Spike said, “Hi.”

Everyone turned around, but didn’t see him because he was invisible. No, they saw him.

“What may bring you to this place?!” Pinkie said.

“I think I deserve to be here way more than camerapony #3 or Butterscotch.”

“Well, you’re wrong. But now that you know about this place, we’ll have to kill you.”

“But the first episode got aired, everypony knows—”

“Get him, Fluttershy!”

Spike ran out of the hole.

“Why aren’t you getting him?”

“I’m not getting him for you.”

“Fine! Then you’re expelled from the Minor Mane Six!”

“Whom are you getting to replace me?”

“Uh... I dunno, who do you ponies want?”

“Ah want Sweetie Belle,” Apple Bloom said.

“Sweetie Belle’s good with me,” Scootaloo said.

“I want Big Mac,” Butterscotch said in both senses of the word.

“We should have camerapony #4,” camerapony #3 said.

“Then we’ll have Sweetie Belle. You can go now, Fluttershy. You’re expelled.”

Fluttershy left the pathetically small hole and spotted a leisurely walking through the forest Spike. She went up to him.

“Ughaweh!” Spike said. “Don’t take me! I won’t tell anypony!”

“I’m not here to capture you,” Fluttershy said. “Pinkie Pie kicked me out of the club and now I’m not allowed in the hole which is taking a while since they’re not dwarves, but anyway, I thought you might like me to walk you back or something.”

“I came here myself, and if I didn’t, I’d be with Twilight, who would walk me back. Also, that’s really fucking condescending. I don’t need your safety or whatever you’re offering. You can go.”

“Okay.”
