The little piggy scrambled into a makeshift fort as Bobby and the ponies tried to catch her. “Please come out,” Fluttershy said, “We need that battery.”

“I need it more than you,” Picky proclaimed, “I have to get out of this factory!”

“Picky, please listen to us,” Bobby Bearhug begged, “They’re only trying to help us.”

“You’re lying! You’re as blind as Catnap!” The tone of her voice was a clear sign Picky wasn’t only angry, she was scared. Fluttershy and Pinkie both looked at each other as they knew that this critter wasn’t in the best mental condition.

“Bobby, is there anything that we can use to help get Picky out?” Fluttershy asked.

“Usually food helps convince her,” Bobby responded, “Her favorite food is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don’t know how we get one of those at this moment.”

“Hang on, I brought food,” Pinkie proclaimed, “Let me try.” The pink pony stuck her head into the scared piggy’s fort. Upon seeing her unwanted guest, Picky tried pushing out the pony’s head. “Hey, I just wanna talk.”

“What is there to talk about?” Picky questioned, “You’re just going to leave me without a battery and wide open for the prototype!”

“We’re here to stop that thing. We’re not strangers to evil trying to take over the world.” Pinkie pulled her head out for a few seconds as Picky just turned around. Then she sniffed as she thought she could smell something. Looking back, she saw Pinkie poking back in now holding a cupcake.

“Is that…?” The piggy sniffed again as she hadn’t smelt anything this good for a while. “Cotton candy?”

“Yep, I’ve been trying out some different cupcake flavors. You wanna try it?” Picky was wanting to grab a bite right now, but she was still unsure. “Listen, I know that thing is scary, but we mean no harm to you or your friends. If you let us use the battery, you can have once we’re done with it.”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

“Okay, one cupcake for a battery.” Pinkie handed the cupcake over to Picky then pulled out the battery. Moments later, Picky walked out of her fort, now with some frosting on her face and a bite taken out of her cupcake.

“Come on, Picky,” Bobby proclaimed, “Let’s see if we can end this nightmare. She held onto Fluttershy’s hoof as Picky climbed onto Pinkie’s back. Now that they had their battery, but also had another friend to help them make it through the darkness.
