Today's Danger Shop set up was of a ragged, rocky mountainside cave, near the top of an almost sheer drop hundreds and hundreds of feet down.

Best hope that Pinkie's not planning on collapsing that cliff on you, again.

Odds were in the students' favor, though, since today, Pinkie was right by the edge herself, looking ready for action with her saddle bags strapped firmly to her flank, and a pair of sunglasses perched on her nose.

"Hi everypony! Welcome back! Today, I want you all to meet a very special friend of mine --"

A tremendous snore came from deep within the cave, the exhaled breath sending billows of black smoke tumbling out at them and into the sky.

"-- a dragon! I call him Snuffles." Pinkie beamed at the class as another snore sounded, followed by a second puff of noxious smoke. "Snuffles here has a bad habit of taking naps right by populated areas." She nodded over her withers, down the mountainside towards a quaint little village in the distance, currently deep in the shadow of the dragon's harsh smoke clouds. "Full grown dragons can nap for ages and ages and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages, which is no good for the poor ponies trying to make pretty weather down there in Ponyville. So your job today is to wake Snuffles up and convince him to go take his nap -- and his treasure -- somewhere else! You can try all sorts of things: reasoning with him, flattering him, telling him jokes, anything you like!" She looked meaningfully around the group of students. "And no, you're not allowed to try and kill him."

Squall.

Pinkie pranced her way up a little outcropping and settled in to keep an eye out.

"Oh! One more thing! Try not to let him eeeeeeat yooooooou!"

Oh, great, now he hand to look down even further. The dragon flicked one long claw at her disgruntledly, as though to swat away a small bug.

"Now, that isn't nice," Miley admonished him as she got up to gather her purse from where she'd set it a few feet away. She reached into it, extracted a teeny spray-bottle of body spray, and held it up threateningly.

The dragon had no idea what the body spray was. He raised an eyebrow grouchily at her.

That's it, he was getting sprayed with it. SORRY, DRAGON.

The dragon got a face full of body spray. He flailed his arms and sneezed. Quite possibly on Miley.

"Ew!" That had not been her goal at all! "Okay, look," she said finally, wiping off her shirt. "Do you like princesses?"

Hey, if it worked, it worked.

The dragon tilted his head curiously, as though wondering where this was going.

"There's princesses. Over there." She pointed. "Way, waaaay over there. Take a left at that abandoned cave -- no, the other one -- and keep going till it starts raining. Then you're there. And there's, like, six princesses. Lots of fun. How about it, cowboy?"

The look the dragon gave her this time was clearly skeptical. Why would it bother tracking down princesses -- based on intel from a girl who sprayed stuff in his face -- when he could just lie here and take a nap?

He was a wise dragon indeed.

"But," she added, in her most condescending story-telling voice, "if you don't go right now, another dragon, uhhh, Cuddles, will get there first! And he'll take all your princesses!"

The dragon curled up on his pile of treasure to go back to sleep.

"Alriiiight," Miley sing-songed. "I didn't want to have to do this."

And then she yelled in his ear.

The dragon startled, straightened up to his full, towering height, and roared out a blast of fire.

Gotta love those Danger Shop safety settings.

And that was when she decided to run away.

Couldn't win them all.
