We Can Work It Out [audio]

[All right, this has gone long enough. Hiding in her little cottage is really not working. In spite of being embarrassed about the mossy mess that her mane as become, Donna takes to the scrolls.]

Okay. Scientists. I know there are, like, 20 of you out there. What's actually being done about this Poison Joke thing and how can we help? Because I'm about sick of having my hair constantly damp and slightly slimy. It's a mess on my pillow in the morning, and I'd really rather not live life on plastic sheets, thanks.

I know the regular cures for the Joke aren't working. What's next?

King, are you? Y'know this place is run by princesses, right? Only king they've got is a villain from history. Reckon that might be your cue to take to drop the entitlement, kingy.

Let's have it, then. Where are you? You like slime so much? Happy to share.

[Dedede had to laugh at that response.]

This place must be in a terrible state to be run by more than one ruler. What a joke!

[Not to mention, according to him, Kings are above Princesses, so he's the highest in terms of hierarchy, even though he doesn't rule anything in Equestria.]

And the name's Dedede. KING Dedede to you. [He didn't really care if others call him by name and not by title, not too much. But in this case, it's preferred for obvious reasons]

If it's a fight you want, then a fight you'll get. Meet me at Sugarcube Coner. Just know that you are going to lose!

Dedede? Sorry, did you st-st-stutter there? [It's catty beyond belief, unkind, but Donna's hackles are up and she tends to make poor decisions when that happens. Particularly when she's still upset for Andrew's disappearance. She knows he'll be back home soon if he isn't already, but it's hard.] I'll call you 'king' when you get a kingdom, mate. More than just the one in your head.

And I'll be there in ten minutes, you git.

[She rolls up her scroll, tries to wring her mane and tail out to no avail, and then goes marching off. She's out near Sugar Cube corner, green, mossy, and dripping shortly there after. She glowers at all of the ponies nearby.]

All right, Triple D, where are you?

[Now that was going too far, to criticize his name and his self-proclaimed title! He's going to show her who's boss right in the here and now. But first, he must finish eating his slice of pie, in which Donna should see him doing right at this moment. Going to need his strength to beat the bejezus out of her, after all.]

Over here, you walking swamp ball!

[Once Dedede swallowed his slice of pie, he revealed himself to her if she haven't seem him already - a larger and fatter Earth Pony now holding his prized weapon - his Dedede Hammer. See his hammer Donna? See it well, cause that's where your face will meet in a few minutes tops]

[See the flames licking up and hissing around her as steam rises, Dedede? You might be in for a little more than you bargained for from an earth girl who's acquired the powers of an esper. Donna doesn't often bring out the abilities Terra's stone granted her, but she's going to make a special exception here.]

A roly-poly king? Well, not surprised. What are you going to do with that hammer? Play whack-a-mole? You want to really bring this, let's get away from the other ponies.

[Because as angry as she is right now, Donna does have a thought for the others around who could get caught in the crossfire, particularly when she's upset and just wants to lash out. Dedede is making himself an easy and excellent target.]

[Dedede was ready for a fight, but a fight that he can win. He isn't so sure about this one however. Nowhere did she give out any clues into having fire powers, no fair! But that's okay, cause he isn't scared... sort of. Okay, he is, but he's not going to show it.]

Fine, lead the way, swamp girl.

[He will be following, though it'll be a few feet away from her. He doesn't want to get burned after all]

[She keeps shooting suspicious glares over her shoulder to make sure he's following and not winding up to attack her with that hammer. It looks like it would hurt if it actually hit her. Donna's not actually a fighter, so this... should be interesting.]

They make it to one of the wide meadows outside of town and Donna turns to face Dedede.]

Still think it's nice, making fun of people asking how they can help fix things, Triple D?

[Dedede ignores the question and answers with a statement of his own]

It's KING DEDEDE you nitwit!

[The fear he had at the time was replaced with annoyance. He's getting really tired of Donna not addressing him correctly]

And if you think those fire powers of yours is going to stop me, then you have another thing coming! I had Twin Fire Lions in my arsenal back home, so I'm not afraid of some wannabe fire pit trying to prove a point!

[Well, he'll have to get used to it, because Donna's not changing her tune any time soon.]

King Stutter, right? Okay. Got it! You like fire, though, do you? How about lightning?

[Without further ado, she plants her foreleg and calls out:]

Thunder!

[A bolt of electricity (enough to give a nasty zap if it hits) crackles to life and goes shooting at Dedede.]
