The park, Saturday morning
Pinkie sat on a bench in the park, keeping a suspicious eye on the Discord statue, her earbuds firmly in her ears, her banana phone clutched between her hooves as she listened to months worth of back radio broadcasts.
Fandom had defeated Discord all by itself. Using improvised Elements of Harmony. The ponies back home had never managed that! When the Elements went missing, or when they returned them to the Tree, they had to do something else to stop the forces of disharmony! There was nothing more that Pinkie could teach the Fandomites about friendship. The students had surpassed the master.
Pinkie sniffled, then burst spectacularly into tears. When Gummy poked his head out of her mane, looking -- well, looking blank, but with the faintest touch of concern if you knew what you were looking for, Pinkie blew her nose and sobbed "I'm just so prou-ou-ou-ouuuuuuud" and hiccuped.
Now what the heck was she going to do on this island?
[open, if anyone else is willing to brave the screaming sun!]
