To have the You Didn't Die Party Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

“Hey Pinkie…” You say as the music in the room was cut out and the room became dark except for the light coming in from the hallway. You hadn’t had time to see what the commotion was when Pinkie had grabbed you. “Not that I don’t like being held against you, but why did you grab me?”

“We can’t have you go wandering around the building without saying hello after what you’ve been through,” Pinkie explained as she stayed nose to nose with you and her 32-C Cup breasts against your chest. “Plus, we need to pad things until the author is ready for you to go home!”

Pinkie took a step back and snapped her fingers in the air in a heart shape. Suddenly the room brightened and you saw what was happening before. There were a bunch of your co-workers and the building’s characters hanging out with music playing and food set out buffet style. You look past Pinkie and see the banner from the previous party Pinkie Pie threw for you. It had on it “Glad you didn’t die! Again!” with the ‘Again!’ hastily painted on with what looked like pink frosting.

“I knew you were alive, no doubts at all, no matter what Eeyore said,” Pinkie proclaimed as she hooked your arm and led you over to the buffet table. A Sterling Archer approached the two of you and held out a hand to Pinkie Pie who slapped a short stack of bills in his hands.

“No doubts huh,” you comment.

“Always hedge your bets.” Pinkie replied. “Here, have a cupcake!” Pinkie grabbed a vanilla cupcake and stuffed it down your throat. She was giggling nervously as she flung you into a booth and twisted away. In the booth, Diana, Gogo, and Ranko were already there all with cupcakes stuffed in their mouths.

“So, she got y’all too huh?” You say after you finally chew through the cupcake.

“She’s like a whirlwind,” Diana said observing Pinkie rushing around the relatively mellow party for a Pinkie Pie.

“I’m faster,” Ranko scowls while eating her red velvet cupcake with vanilla icing.

“Who are you, anyway?” Gogo asked the slightly shorter redhead. Gogo had noted that the pigtailed girl had been sticking close to the group after getting rescued but never had the time to talk to her.

“I’m Ranko Saotome,” Ranko proclaimed proudly, raising a thumbs up towards her ample chest. “Heir to the Saotome branch of Anything Goes Martial Arts.”

“She helped out during the rebellion and she’s going to be joining the harem,” you explain as you took a slice of cake that was offered by a passing Ariel from The Little Mermaid. “By the way, Diana, Ranko has plenty of experience with Amazons in her world.”

“Really? Did you get to observe some of our techniques and fighting styles,” Diana asked Ranko, evaluating her.

“Some,” Ranko chagrined a bit and ducked her head nervously. You guess that she didn’t have much time learning about other universes before getting thrown out.

“Which ones? Thundering Minotaur style? Pegasus Flight? Or maybe Harpy Claw? Not many practitioners of that one,” Diana asked, listing off several styles and techniques the Amazons of Themyscira had developed over the long millennia of isolation.

“Hiryū Shōten Ha and Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken, among others,” Ranko replied as she gave the styles Diana mentioned a thought.

“Heaven Blast of the Dragon and Chestnut fist?” Gogo asked, recalling some Japanese she learned growing up in San Fransokyo. “Shōnen anime wants their names back.”

‘Her universe was a Shōnen manga and anime though,’ you thought silently as you were just glad she participated in the conversation.

“I’m not familiar with those, who did you learn them from?” Diana asked, making conversation. As a polyglot of human languages, she was aware of the meanings behind the names but not what they do. She was also aware she might not know who taught Ranko but she was also aware that it might be an alternate version of someone she knew.

“An old ghoul named Cologne,” Ranko replied. You decided to explain a few things to Ranko and Diana. You gave an overview of the Chinese Amazons, some canon and fanon things you were aware of, and gave some information on the Greek Amazons.

“Don’t worry Ranko, you don’t have to worry about me ever giving you the Kiss of ****,” Diana teased Ranko. “Though be good with James and the other kiss might be on the table.”

“Nope, I’ve had enough experience with fiances to not want to go through that again,” Ranko replied.

“You never know Ran-ran! With the hunk next to you, you might like it enough to tie the knot,” Pinkie Pie said as she popped up in between Diana and Gogo. Gogo uncharacteristically exclaimed in surprise at the sudden intrusion.

“Hey Pinkie, finished the round huh,” you say as Pinkie climbed over the table and sat down next to you.

“Yup, I’m thinking of getting some of the games going soon,” Pinkie says as you notice something in her hair. “Interested?”

“Maybe,” you say as you reach up and grab the thing you spotted. “There was something in your hair.” You hold whatever it is up to your eyes and squint to get a good look. Imagine your surprise when you see a shrunken Mirta from Winx Club between your fingers.

“Oh thank god! We’ve been lost in her hair for weeks! Please save the others!” You could barely make out as Mirta screamed her tiny lungs out to get you to listen. Before you could do anything, a strand of Pinkie’s hair was flicked in her direction and quickly wrapped around her waist. “No!” Mirta screamed as she was pulled out of your fingers and dragged back into Pinkie’s impressive head of hair.

“Whoops, she wasn’t supposed to be out,” Pinkie laughed nervously as everyone at the table gave her horrified look.

“Uhh…” Gogo said as she was about to demand an explanation but Pinkie beat her to the punch.

“Hey James, how about we play ‘Pin the Tail on the Pony’?” Pinkie chattered enthusiastically as she pulled you out of the booth.

“We aren’t allowed to play that anymore, we could get in trouble!” You reminded her of the ban on that game. “I still can’t believe you swapped the tail with a buttplug with a tail and then put yourself in front of the poster. Supervisor Geoff almost fired me!”

“He’s not watching!” Pinkie snickered as she continued undeterred.
