I think that chick actually has Magic Cake!" >"No way," you answer. "I gotta try some." >The two of you make your way over, Paula trailing nervously behind.   >"Hey lady?" you say. >"Uh...?" She looks up at you. "Oh my beautiful child, look at YOU! Resplendent in all the colors of heaven!" >"You are tripping balls, lady. Where'd you get the cake?" >"Oh, my sweet lamb, there's a wonderful earth goddess outside who will give you some." she replies. >"... in the alley." she adds, apparently not discomfited by the idea of a goddess hanging out in a side street. >"Dude... we are so getting fucked up," your friend whispers to you as you step outside. >With little difficulty, you locate the Magic Cake lady and make a transaction. >The effects kick in quickly. >Your friend is the first to feel it. >"Oh wow, it's like I'm on an island floating in the sky! Dude... I'm like a prince to these tiny sky people!" >"Ness... you're high, man. Come here. Give me your key items."   >"Jeff?" >Paula has been calling your name for some time without your noticing. >"Uh? What?" >"I'm seriously hungry, Jeff. I got the munchies bad. These are like... Munchies Super. Like Final Munchies. You cannot even grasp the true form of these munchies. And I already ate my last peanut cheese bar." >"... I'm hungry too. Let's hit the store for snacks. Come on, Ness." >"Okay, giant talking space head." >The three of you head to the general store. >What greets you inside blows your mind. >"Oh my God, Jeff. Look at these ponies," Paula gasps, completely forgetting about and demoting her munchies to Munchies Jr.. >"I'm looking! They're fucking amazing! God, feel how soft they are!" >A pony nuzzles your hand; it feels like the gentle flutter of a butterfly's wings. >The clerk looks over. >"Those are our Super Plush Fluffy Ponies. Make great gifts, and they can also absorb a lot of punishment." >"Oh man... I have to buy one. There's no way I'm not buying one. It's like destiny is reaching down and handing this pony to me." >"That'll be $1198, sir."   >You take your pony outside. >It bounds happily along the beach. >"Fwuffy wan' gewato!" it pips. >"Dude, they have gelato here? I could so go for a gelato right now." >The fluffy hustles you over to the gelato cart. >An idea strikes you; you sit Ness in the sand, where he passes his hands in front of his face and giggles. >"Hey Paula... wanna see something cool?" >"What?" >You pour your Bag of Dragonite out atop the fluffy's gelato and stir it up. >"Dude, Jeff..." >"Shhhh!" you hiss. >You set the gelato in front of the pony and it digs in.   >Fluffy pony stops eating and blinks a few times. >"Fwuffy feew... feew..." >Fluffy pony turns into a giant, fire-breathing dragon! >"FWUFFY FEEW FUNNY," it booms. >"Holy shit, this is amazing," you whisper, awestruck by the enormous furry lizard. >"PWAY WIF FWUFFY!" the dragon-pony roars, stomping its way down the city streets. >You hear a sound like a furnace exploding as it launches a fireball at a taxi trying to swerve madly away from it. >353HP of damage to the Mad Taxi! The Mad Taxi stops moving! >"Dude, Paula, this is the best adventure ever." >Ness sits up suddenly. >"Holy crap Jeff... I just dreamed that I was a little brown kid who lived in the sky, and that I meditated so hard I understood everything, and that I was teleporting here to join with myself." >"Ness..." >"And you'll never guess what the kid's name was!" he continues, breathlessly. "It's freaking hilarious!" >A huge echoing boom sounds as a small brown kid with a topknot materializes near you. >The dragon-pony yelps and defecates in surprise at the noise, planting a huge steamer right in the middle of the road. >"OH NO, POO!" it rumbles. >The brown kid looks over toward it expectantly; Ness breaks into a fit of giggles. >You have no idea what's going on anymore.
