After Lily finally got the hint as to what her animal friends were trying to tell her, she responded with her characteristic energy, summoning a fancy motorcycle on which to ride to Alex’s rescue. Of course, there was no way more than one person could ride along with the greenette, but that was where MDP came in.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess would, like, totally wotally [i]wuv[/i] to, Lily Wily~! (giggle!)”[/color] the whimsical girl replied after a request for “cute, sparkly, rainbow unicorns” (an MDP speciality) had been made. In a burst of prismatic glitter, a trio of said creatures blinked into existence. [color=DeepPink]“Ta daaaa~!”[/color] she declared, striking a cute pose.

[color=SpringGreen]“My most gracious thanks, your highness,”[/color] Gaia told the bubbly girl with a demure nod and a warm smile. 

[color=DarkOrchid]“O-Oh, gosh!”[/color] Connie exclaimed in surprise, before giggling as the unicorn nearest to her licked the cheek of her mask. [color=DarkOrchid]“T-Thank you, MDP! T-They’re so p-pretty! B-But, um, I-I’ve n-never r-ridden a-anything a-alone b-before,”[/color] she added with an uncertain frown even as Gaia gracefully mounted her own unicorn. [color=DarkOrchid]“S-So…”[/color]

[color=DeepPink]“Like, it’s okie dokie, Connie Wonnie~!”[/color] MDP replied, giving her timid friend a bright and reassuring smile. [color=DeepPink]“These pretty witty horsey worseies are, like, super [i]duper[/i] nicey wicey~!”[/color] To prove her point, the unicorn nearest Connie sat down to let her climb onto it. [color=DeepPink]“See~?”[/color] MDP inquired. [color=DeepPink]“They’re super duper helpful welpful, too~! (giggle!)”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“T-They really are!”[/color] Connie marveled, her mask forming a happy smile as she easily sat down on the friendly unicorn. [color=DarkOrchid]“A-And they’re so soft, too!”[/color] she added as she began petting her mount’s rainbow mane.

[color=DeepPink]“They sure aresie~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP agreed, nodding rapidly, before giving her own unicorn a big hug, while gently stroking its own prismatic mane. [color=DeepPink]“Oh~! And they [i]wuv[/i] candy wandy, so like, heresie weresies a baggy waggy for you, and one for Gaia Waia, too~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added, tossing a pair of glittery pink bags of sweets to her two friends. She was just about to hop on her own unicorn, when “Penny” called out to her.

Now, it should come as little surprise that MDP had been so distracted in the lead-up to the mission that she hadn’t heard that Penny wouldn’t actually be going through the portal with them. But that was fine. It wasn’t like she was in an important leadership position where she had to be mindful of such things, lest she look foolish. She [i]always[/i] looked foolish, and she had more than enough such responsibilities to deal with in her normal life. [i]This[/i] was a time for funsie wunsie, not boring woring business wusiness stuffy wuffy. Thus, when she heard Penny call out to her, that was exactly who the whimsical girl thought it was.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess would [i]wuv[/i] to play hidey widey and seeky weeky~! (giggle!)”[/color] she cheered as she bounced over to give the Mechanical Monarch a hug. [color=DeepPink]“Especially wecially with [i]you[/i], Penny Wenny~!”[/color] she added, batting her eyes as she looked up at her girlfriend with a dreamy expression, small hearts bursting into being around her head like tiny balloons. However, the whimsical girl quickly broke off her sickeningly sweet gesture of affection upon remembering the [i]other[/i] important task she had agreed to. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess is super sorry, Lily Wily!”[/color] MDP told the greenette, looking rather distraught. [color=DeepPink]“Like, she really really wanted to helpy welpy findy windy Alexander Wander, but, like, Penny Wenny really really wants to play a super duper funsie wunsie gamey wamey with her insteady weady, so, like, Magical Dream Princess is gonna sendy wendy Mister Wister Kitey Witey to helpy welpy you in her placey wacey, okie dokie~?!”[/color] MDP added, returning to her customary cheerfulness as she conjured a smiling, rainbow-colored kite on a glittery string tied to her unicorn’s horn with a wave of her wand. [color=DeepPink]“He’s, like, super [i]duper[/i] good at finding windng thingie wingies, since he’s soooo high uppy wuppy, he can see [i]every[/i]thingie wingie~! (giggle!)”[/color]

With that, the playful Princess of Dreams skipped after Penny as the Mechanical Monarch entered the gaping hole in the factory wall alongside the Beacon contingent. While Penny chatted with Alicia and the other members of the assault team dispatched the swarms of tea drones via various means, MDP ensured that the ones closest to her became docile, pink-hatted versions of themselves with one glittery sweep of her whimsical wand. Grabbing one by its gloved hand, she eagerly dragged it over to Penny. [color=DeepPink]“Like, do you thinky winky these silly willy hatty-watty thingie wingies will helpy welpy us findy windy the Hatter Watter person werson if we asky wasky them nicely wicely~?”[/color] she inquired innocently.

Meanwhile, Gaia had turned her unicorn in the direction Dave was pointing. [color=SpringGreen]“Shall we be off?”[/color] she asked Lily, honestly thankful they wouldn’t have to deal with the insanity of storming the factory, while still being fully aware that even greater insanity could very well await them…
