Poopies were everywhere. >Spaghetti Land doesn't smell pretty anymore. >There were so many fluffies that it was hard to even move. >And then things got worse. Meanie humans came and started hurting fluffies. >And now, everything is exploding for no reason. >There is fire and water all over the place. >The once huge herd that Little Smarty had united has been reduced to a couple dozen. >You and your herd have to get out of here, but there's nowhere to go. >You are trapped in the ruins of the lie that was Spaghetti Land, and there's no way out.   >You fall to the ground and weep, covering your head with your hoofsies. >Little Smarty rolls down off your back and lands in front of you. >"You good fwuffy! Fwuffy wuv you!" she says, reassuringly. >"But, but, bad pwace! Bad for fwuffies! Wan' weave! No can weave! What fwuffy do?!" >You cry in despair. The few remaining members of your herd are all crying too. >"Tell us, wittle smawty! WHAT DO?!" you scream, shaking her. >"What fwuffy wan' do?" asks Little Smarty.   >That's the kind of Smarty Friend she is, you realized some time ago. >She never thinks about herself, she's always concerned about others... >about the good of the whole herd.   >"FWUFFY WAN' WIV!" you cry, holding Little Smarty close. >"Dat right! Smawty fwuffy!" she declares.   >You, and the rest of your herd, calm down a little, your sorrow turning into determination. >Her wise words have made you realize what's important: you want to live. >And if you're going to survive, you have to find a way out. >But how?   >And that's when you notice, for the first time, that Little Smarty is not facing you. >Ever since she rolled off your back, she's been facing AWAY from you. >What is she looking at..?   >You look straight ahead of her, but you don't see ... >And then, you look up. >And an expression of hope fills your face. >Overhead, a gigantic ferris wheel looms. >Well, it's actually about ten meters tall at most >But to a fluffy pony, that's HUGE. >"We go dere?" you ask Little Smarty. "We go high pwace, bad munstas no get fwuffies?" >Little Smarty doesn't say anything, but you take her silence as consent. >You hoist her back onto your back. >"Huggies!" exclaims Little Smarty. >"WISSEN, GOOD FWUFFIES!" you bellow. "WITTLE SMAWTY SAY WE GO DERE!" >You point to the ferris wheel with your front-right hoof. >"WE GO HIGH PWACE, BAD FWUFFIES, BAD BOOMIES, FIWE, WAWA, NO HUWT FWUFFIES!" >You rear up  for dramatic effect. >"Dat right! Smawty fwuffy!" Little Smarty agrees. >Your herd cheers. >"FOWWOW FWUFFY!" you roar, as you charge toward the ferris wheel.   >The ferris wheel, like everything in Spaghetti Land, was designed to be fluffy-safe. >The ferris wheel, like everything in Spaghetti Land, has killed three or four fluffies anyway. >But Little Smarty's herd don't know that. >They DO know that it seems to be the safest place to be right now. >And believe it or not, they're right. >Each "car" on the ferris wheel is made of reinforced transparent aluminum. >It's the future, remember? >It's lightweight, but capable of withstanding great pressure. >The doors open automatically when a car is at the bottom, triggered by a magnetic sensor. >There's also a handle to open the door manually, but only a human hand can operate it. >There is no way to open the cars from inside, by design - fluffies could kill themselves in ALL KINDS of ways otherwise. >Also, and this is important: when the door is closed, the cars are completely watertight. >This was to reduce the chance of fluffy ponies drowning when it rained. >Little Smarty's herd doesn't know any of this, >but they are very happy and grateful when the door opens automatically for them >as they run desperately towards the ride.   >"Aww fwuffies, get inside!" >Fluffy ponies scramble over one another to climb into the car. >The car is getting very full. >The fluffy ponies on the bottom are stuggling and kicking. >"Nuuuu! Fwuffy no can bweave!" >There is no more room for fluffies in the car. >The remaining fluffies cry and sob as the door automatically closes, >and the car lifts into the air, safely away from the madness.   >But wait, what's this? >Another car has appeared in its place! >This one is empty! And the door is opening! >Grateful fluffy ponies pile inside. >After a couple of minutes, all the surviving members of Little Smarty's herd have stuffed themselves into the cars. >The ferris wheel is moving, having been left "on" when the operator, a fellow named Miguel, abandoned ship. >Left on "autopilot", of sorts. >It would normally stop and let the fluffies off when their cars reached the bottom again. >But fate has other ideas...
