"Sooo...word's been going around the Banan Superstore that you went out on a date with Banana Pie himself once, and I'm slightly curious," Twila glances aside, shiftily, before focusing her attention back on Daisy, "If it's not too personal to ask....how'd it go?"
Daisy Daedal: But he wasn’t… unattractive, and he did make me laugh sometimes. So I talked it over with some friends, and eventually decided to give it a try. Little did I know that some of my friends weren’t sure I was going to be ok….
<Splunge Sheep: Quick aside! If you're not familiar- or want to re-familiarize yourself with this super old storyline, here's the master post! It might help with the context under the cut below!>
<Splunge: You all caught up? Good! Let’s get back to Daisy’s narration.>
Daisy Daedal: Kitzumi was worried how long everypony was taking, so she had Twizilla…
Daisy Daedal: ...blast a hole through Banana Pie’s house. (ask from @kittyrinn-aiko )
It was obvious that Banana Pie and I were not in the house then. In the wreckage, Heartistry and Chromaslip found a flier for Bananland.
Putting two and two together, Chromaslip decided to teleport them both there.
Terra once again missed them,
But also saw the flier and decided to follow them on hoof.
Banana Pie had teleported the two of us right on the top of the roller coaster just at the peak of a drop.
While the coaster was running, the sun had set. When we got to the bottom, I saw the park was devoid of anypony but us. Perhaps being alone in a theme park might’ve been romantic under other circumstances, but I was all nerves from Banana pie’s cryptic words.
He pranced ahead of me, his “fun fun fun” echoing around us as I reluctantly followed. He lead me to a display of plush prizes and chirped:
“SHOW u 2 STUFF PONY Teddy bear the my WIFF.”
I wasn’t sure I was hearing him correctly, so I asked,
“Are your wives in the stuffed ponies, or are you pretending toys are your wives?”
“Waifu EVERYWHERE as FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE!”
As he was even more puzzling than usual, I was really hoping that I was misunderstanding. My mind was full of questions. Were his wives here, murdered and put into plush dolls? Or was it they were here in spirit? I didn’t know, and it was unsettling.
“My family banan farm,” he said suddenly.
“Yes?” I asked, wondering how it was related. Was he offering another placed they could be? “Are they there, too?”
He was silent a moment, then met my eyes.
“I lost myself again but then I remember you.”
“Good?” I replied with uncertainty. Was it really a sane moment among the ravings?
“U GOOD TOO ME. I NOT KILL PONY,” Banana Pie insisted.
“That is good to know.” I said meekly.
“I just collected CUTE PONY!” He said, holding up a plush pony in his hooves with a wild look in his eyes.
“And it wasn’t alive before? It’s just a plush pony?” I asked with slight desperation.
Not answering me, he put it down and started bouncing through the park again. I scurried after him, uncertain what he was doing, but even more afraid of being alone in the dark here.
“LOOK DOWN in MY OLD DIRT BANAN BOOK, HMM? YES YES.” He rambled on, and then pointed at a closed down restaurant in the theme park.
“THE IN THE BANAN PIE PIZZA FUN TIME SHOP.”
Knowing his taste in horrendous pizza toppings, I could guess why it was closed down.
“What kind of pizza?”
He ignored my question and said; “THE PONY COPS closer down SO THE JUST plush ponieS in ROBOT SUIT.”
“Wh-why do they need robot suits?
“I WAY hired THE BUNDYS”
“The Bundys?”
“Body. GIVE U KEY. TOO THE OLD SHOP. PIZZA SHOP.”
I did not want the key.
“Why are you giving me this?
“SO U CAN SEE THEY NOT KILL PONYS,” he replied, desperate and sad.
“And what will I see instead?” I asked, trying to find a way to stall. “Plush ponies that were never alive?”
“I WILL HOPE!”
“That is not encouraging.”
He grabbed his head in his hooves and shook. Then looking like he had an Eureka moment, said,
“THE a GUN IN THE BOX!”
“Why do you need a gun?”
“TOO KEEP U SAFE!”
Some part of me was still hoping this was some sort of prank or revenge for trapping me in his house. So I tried to make him see reason.
“What are we in danger from here!?”
“My evil twin.”
Was it an alternate personality? I couldn’t imagine a scarier version of the Banana Pie that was in front of me now.
“You have an evil twin? Was he the one who drugged your wives in the tunnel of love?”
“Yes- you keep look in. I need u help to stop him.”
“What is he trying to do?”
“The flashlight. It him doing all my girls. I don’t see them in no more.”
“Wouldn’t somepony trained for fighting be better to help you? Or are you just using me as bait?”
He thrust a gun in my hooves. Movement in the shadows made me tense- was there somepony else here? An actual twin? Maybe… ghosts?
“U Got gun kill him before it too late.”
A white spector raced towards me and froze in terror. But then my eyes adjusted and I recognized them. Catalina seized me and threw me over her shoulder in a fireman’s carry.
"Do you know how close your deadline is? You can continue this after you finish," She hissed at me.
I looked around, and the shadows were just my friends who had been looking out for me this whole time. Banana Pie smiled and waved, and I realized nothing too bad really happened. Maybe we could try again after I finished my comic. But then:
Daisy Daedal: I’ve been avoiding Banana Pie ever since.
(ask from @my-little-toy-box )
MOD Splunge here! Sorry to my long term fans this was so long in the making, and thanks to @twila-bloggin for giving me an excuse to finish it up. <3
The conversation Daisy and @askbananapie were having was based on a chat conversation he and I RPed out. It took me until now to realize he was parodying Five Night at Freddys. ^^;
Had I not run out of steam to draw it all out, likely the conversation would’ve taken place while Daisy’s friends slowly made their way to her... rescue? But Catalina carrying Daisy off was always the planned ending. XD
Finally, thanks to my main collaborators on this project for being so understanding when this project went on an indefinite hiatus- I really enjoyed our RP sessions writing out the script for this, and I am sorry I didn't want to continue it in a full comic. :_; @ask-luciavampire @mysteryoustimelordthepone @asktheartpone @chromaslip @anideterm3 @threeuniverses @jedi10549 @ask-twizilla
