The hedge maze in the Park, Sunday

[notqnoreally.livejournal.com]

The hedge maze has continued to grow since the first day. The hedges topped off at ten feet tall, but once past the entrance, giant thorned vines slither between the rows, wrapping like tentacles around the ankles of the unwary. Gremlins and beasties stalk through the shadows, and anything attempting to fly over, from a full grown dragon to the tiniest bird, is likely to get swamped by sentient candy clouds.

Somewhere in the middle of all this, Discord resides. Hailing from a world without radio, he has no idea what's in store. Assuming, of course, the Element teams can even get to him. . . .

All around Fandom, Sunday evening

[explosion resulting in rainbow mushroom cloud and shockwave]

A tremendous explosion rocked out of the park, flattening the hedge maze and pounding the dessert storm to nothing. In its wake, all the chaotic nonsense Discord had wrought returned to its natural state in a flash, as though none of it had ever happened -- though anypony wearing a hat could likely kiss that sucker goodbye.

The Elements of Harmony, or their sympathetic magical counterparts at least, had vanquished the foe, and the island could return to its usual, preferred state of weird. It was a lovely summer space day. Birds crept slowly out of their hidey-holes, looked around for any spare flying gremlins, and started to sing. The sky was the normal color that it would be on this little half-gravity planet the island was staying on, and the streets were once again solid, dependable, and non-slip.

Fandom had done it once again.

At sunset, or whatever the current planet's spacey equivalent, the light caught the marble scales on Discord's statuesque -- or statufied, perhaps -- dragon tail. Out on the preserve, an alot of polka dots bemoaned its lost calling before settling back into its old routine. And down on the beach by the lighthouse, a single, solitary, giraffe legged bunny strolled across the setting glowing space object as the screen irised to black.

[and that is a wrap on this MLP BDE! The Discord statue is a new permanent addition in the park, though the giraffe!bunny is just the traditional final cartoon punchline. I hope you all had fun!]
