1.
>by faking an injury (using a real one) and blowing up the story, summer breeze managed to finesse a premium limo to las haygas
-
2.
>and they drove for a loooooooong time
-
3.
>bored silence hung in the air between the two mares as the desert went on and on and on
-
4.
>this would have been a lot more fun on a motorcycle
-
5.
>until the tips of 3 buildings started to emerge from behind the crest of the next hill
-
6.
>then the roller coaster
-
7.
>then the pyramid
-
8.
>then the highway flattening out straight into the guts of the city
-
9.
>then before they knew it, the iconic "Welcome to Las Haygas" sign
-
10.
>with a broken LCD screen behind the letters flashing all sorts of colors
-
11.
>for a city so grandiose that even the streets flash continuously with tiny pixels of random color
-
12.
>the ominous pyramid powering through every other layer of the background front and center as the roller coaster spirals into itself
-
13.
>all of the lit and unlit windows of the tall skyscrapers pigeon holing into rainbow fractals
-
14.
>to a soundtrack of droning gregorian chants as the pyramid expands right up to the limo's window, about to suck the 3 ponies into the Nth dimension
-
15.
>a pounding chest was right behind summer's head
-
16.
>"would you get a room you two?" the driver said
-
17.
>at the opposite end of the hallway
-
18.
>and snauf'er was equally shoved against the back door, pressed by summer to look like she was the big spoon
-
19.
>"oh we will mr. stallion, a room in the guts of the equestrian dream!" summer called out
-
20.
>"thanks for the ride, ill put it in the tip jaa-WOAHHH"
-
21.
>as snauf tried to hold out some bottle caps, a chauffer opened the door, causing both ponies to tumble out
-
22.
>and the two laid collapsed on each other at the far end of a long, red, fancy carpet
-
23.
>leading into the Wintergreen Hotel VIP Section
-
24.
>"tia damn who let these two hornballs in?"
-
25.
>"SHUT your damn mouth hornhead!"
-
26.
>summer slipped a not so subtle hoof around snaufer's
-
27.
>it appearing to stretch like string cheese and coil itself around multiple times
-
28.
>summer breeze's reality stayed anchored to her front right hoof long enough that they made it inside
-
29.
>into a truly lavish hotel lounge
-
30.
>mares and stallions in suits networking with each other
-
31.
>sleazy and corpulent fraudsters sweet talking their way to the right end of their next deal
-
32.
>and a very conveniently placed bar in the center of the room
-
33.
>not the snaufer had already acquired somepony else's drink, glowing bright purple like some kind of elixir
-
34.
>and the two mares sat down
-
35.
>"5th of freer for her, a flim artois and cider flaniels for me" a voice amongst the crowds spoke out
-
36.
>the outsides of her vision had some remnants of flashing colors, but summer breeze could still hang with the situation
-
37.
>the drinks came on cue, as did plotting time
-
38.
>"so the last rider finished about the same time we passed fear and loathing. racers should start pouring in here any minute"
-
39.
>snauf finished taking a gulp
-
40.
>"you think Pinko's a first to the party type?" she asked in a scratchy, guttural voice
-
41.
>"well were here. we got a visual on her and shes not hard to miss."
-
42.
>miss, see, whatever
-
43.
>constant dings, ticks, chatter, and brass music played in spurts around the two ponies
-
44.
>but then something unnerving came up from behind
-
45.
>a rumbling crack split down the middle of her barstool and across the decorated carpet
-
46.
>a blue and green aura rose out and colored everypony around a dark, rotten black
-
47.
>some orange black, pink black, blue black, all different shades
-
48.
>holes grew across their bodies
-
49.
>and it clicked
-
50.
>this hotel was invaded by changelings!
-
51.
>and somepony was serving booze to these celestia-damn creatures!
-
52.
>"i LOOOOooooOOOOVE TO PARTY!"
-
53.
>"yes well missus Breeze and uh... snow-oof want to interview you in the press room"
-
54.
>"fuck, thats the rally call!"
-
55.
>where's snaufer?
-
56.
>the bar stretched endlessly into the night
-
57.
>the red, yellow and orange patterns on the carpet swirling into a deadly obstacle course over the lava floor of the changeling hive
-
58.
>i just have to get over *there*
-
59.
>if the fucking changelings would stop spinning the bar around like a merry go round
-
60.
>las haygas on acid is not for the feint of heart
-
61.
>so summer breeze jumped off and started to make her way across the twisted platforms
-
62.
>her drink passed her by
-
63.
>must be 1.3627152 times around
-
64.
>she presses on
-
65.
>and her drink comes around again
-
66.
>so did that celestia-damn hippie with the poofy mane
-
67.
>wait a minute, she's gone
-
68.
-
69.
>the flowing colors of a swampy sunset swirl on the blank white ceiling
-
70.
>crumpled trees up on the left meet a long sheet of sky
-
71.
>and the scalding hot water of the sump melts snaufer's body into the acidic soil below
-
72.
>all the while a slow, summery guitar riff strums on and on under some savage whistling by the hornheads
-
73.
>summer breeze bursts in the hotel room
-
74.
>ok... theres her stuff
-
75.
>nothing too out of the-
-
76.
>oh jesus she tore the TV out of the wall
-
77.
>and apparently the radio, since there's music coming from the bathroom
-
78.
>"YYYAINOUNDAWEYYYYYY TUHKILLMEE'EHTTT"
-
79.
>yep thats music alright
-
80.
>"EEEEYES BUUURN OF STINGING SWEAT"
-
81.
>snaufers invisible comrades sing around her
-
82.
>yep. this is the life she left the island for
-
83.
>no uptight bosses, no vulnerability, no hard decisions, just kill any equal sign you see
-
84.
>surviving the constant chaos of getting rained on by bullets made the calm moments like these pay off
-
85.
>LUNA FUCKING CHRIST ITS A GOD DAMN LANDMINE
-
86.
>IS SHE DEAD?
-
87.
>IS THAT WHY LUNAS POURING THE FUCKING ETERNAL NIGHT INTO THE BATHROOM!?
-
88.
>DID SHE GET BLOWN TO PIECES???
-
89.
>AND THE FIRST MARE SHE SEES AT THE PEARLY GATES IS SUMMER BREEZE!?
-
90.
>"ITS ME!
-
91.
>"SNAFU GET A FUCKING GRIP YOURE NOT DEAD YET!"
-
92.
>"JUST LOOK AT ME FOR ONE SECOND!"
-
93.
>now theres an intercom in front of her face
-
94.
>is it 0600 hours?
-
95.
>"WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO GET INVITED TO A PRESS INTERVIEW WITH PINKO AND BLOW HER-"
-
96.
>SUMMER "DROP THAT ITS A SATCHEL CHARGE!"
-
97.

99.
>"listen, just listen carefully"
-
100.
>deeeeeeoooooow... deoooooow...
-
101.
>jimi hendrix's guitar is the rhythm of life
-
102.
>"now you just stay there... in the tub... ill be back after i clean up the room a bit"
-
103.
>snaufer watches summer breeze set the radio down next to the lava lamp and leave her giant white body sprawled in the bathtub
-
104.
>all the soap in the world can't stop her knife from itching
-
105.
>summer breeze stood outside, on the telephone, trying to reason with the press on why the no show happened
-
106.
>"yep, 214. see you in a bit"
-
107.
>214... 0214...
-
108.
>shes bringing them right to their doorstep
-
109.
>i knew i could count on you
-
110.
>snauf'er rises rises from the ashes of the bathtub, the forest floor falling away to the bottom of her hooves
-
111.
>its raining now
-
112.
>the ground sloshes below snauf as she makes her way through the white portal
-
113.
>and once in the hotel room, her render distance stretched far into the night sky
-
114.
>summer breeze stopped fumbling with a suitcase and looked terrified into snauf'er's eyes
-
115.
>glowing a pearly white in the amber-lit room
-
116.
>'hey, hey... snafu... you stay right there'
-
117.
>snauf took a step, the fog was closing in as fast as summer breeze backed away
-
118.
>come hear so i can here you

119.
>'look, we have somepony coming, shes gonna bring...'
-
120.
>wait a sec, that's a kirin's glow not a
