//------------------------------// // The Most Greatest Animal Show Ever // Story: Tales From A Pie: Fall Edition // by Mr.Gamernator //------------------------------// Sir Animal, a colt who liked to study animals, had been thinking of something interesting to attract more viewers. A lot of ponies had seen this gray colt, with blue eyes, and orange hair in the weekends. It was almost the weekend and he still hasn't come up with something to put on his Animal Show. In the evening, Sir Animal had become fed up with all his thinking and he decided to contact an old friend, named Hypokitic, who he thought might help him. He was right. Hypokitic told Sir Animal that he would be over at his house in a few minutes. Confidently and patiently, he waited. In about ten minutes Hypokitic had arrived. "Well hello, Sir Animal, long time no see." Hypokitic said as he opened the door. "Right you are my friend." Sir Animal responded. "So what do you need help with?" Hypokitic asked. "Well, I haven't come up with any ideas for my show. I mean I know what it's about, but I just want to attract more viewers." Sir Animal said, looking at Hypokitic hopefully. "Well I have just the thing." Hypokitic said. "All you have to do if get your show on every channel." Hypokitic said. "Yeah because you can go up to them and beg them to give you permission for that." Sir Animal said rolling his eyes. Hypokitic chuckled. "Oh you'll see." Hypokitic said in a serious tone. * * * Sir Animal waited patiently outside the doors of the tv station building. The guards had somehow allowed Hypokitic in there but Sir Animal had to stay outside and wait. A few minutes passed and Sir Animal grew impatient. Just when he was about to ask the guards if he could check in on them, Hypokitic came out with a smile on his face. "They said yes!" Hypokitic yeled. Sir Animal's face beamed. Then it returned to a frown. "I still don't have an idea." Sir Animal said sadly. "You can talk about lions. Yes! You can show how they lick each other for baths and how they hunt their preys. The ponies will love it!" Hypokitic said almost immediately like he had planned the whole thing out a while ago. "Well I don't know..." SIr Animal said, not sure whether to do it or not. "But it's for the ratings. For the best at least." "Don't worry about the show I'll edit it some more and I'll revise it." Hypokitic said. "We will tell you when it's ready to go." * * * The next day, Twilight had gotten up to check on the latest scientific discoveries on her television. When she turned to the science channel, she realized that they weren't giving the normal show they gave in the morning. Instead they were giving Sir Animal's Animal Show. Strange, she thought. She decided to watch this instead. She would at least learn something new about lions, maybe. As she sat there through the whole show, she realized that she had learned all the facts about lions that they mentioned. She had wasted twenty five minutes of her life trying to find something new about a topic she already knows. She was about to turn off the TV when she heard the last two sentences of the show that caught her attention. "Don't you wish to be like lions. Well you might be prepared for so, you never know what your body can do." a deep voice had said. She turned off the TV. She began to think of the last two sentences being hypnotizing or some magical feel into it commanding something to control you. Twilight dismissed the idea and went back upstairs to wake up Spike. * * * At noon, Twilight was reading one of her books when she realized that she was licking her hoof. She immediately yanked her hoof back, thinking about what she had done. That's a first, she thought. She rarely had licked herself. It was just the beginning. A few minutes later, Twilight smelled something very good and very delicious. Her mouth started to water and she licked her lips. She followed the scent. She kept sniffing the air until she felt the smell getting stronger. Twilight opened her eyes. She saw Spike looking at her with wide eyes. "What are you doing?" Spike asked confused. Twilight growled. "What's wrong?" Spike asked. Twilight tried to speak but only a growl escaped her mouth. "Um are you..." Spike began and froze. Twilight felt some wierd things happening to her body. It wasn't really painful but it was tingly. Her teeth began to grow sharper. She hoofs became furry and grew claws. Her skin, grew in a layer of orange fur. Her face widened and her mane disappeared. Her body got longer. Spike just stood there and watched as Twilight's transformation stopped. "You're... You're... You're a lion!" Spike screamed in horror. Twilight roared. She looked at Spike with hungry eyes. She tried to resist herself but the smell of Spike's meat was too unresistable. Luckily, Spike had ran out the door before she pounced on him. Twilight couldn't resist the urge no more. She ran after Spike quickly. She wondered what the other ponies would say when they see a lion sprinting after a little dragon. She would be locked up for sure. Twilight couldn't focus on that at the moment. She had food to catch. As Spike stopped at the Town Center, Twilight had realized that there were many lions around there, too. The lions had gathered around Spike. Each had their eyes locked on Spike. Spike just stood there dumbfounded. "Easy now." he said calmly. He began to sweat. Spike slowly began to back away. Twilight pounced on Spike, which soon was surrounded by lions. Dragon body parts began to fly around everywhere. Some lions were fighting for the meat but Twilight had quickly picked up her piece with her mouth and began to chew on it. A couple minutes later, all the lions had been satisfied. While the other lions were leaving a loud roar was heard by all the lions. The lions turned around to see a huge lion looking at them. It began to speak, and Twilight had realized that she understood lion language. "I am the one that created you." the lion said. "You all are under my power. There are some people who are still normal. We must eliminate them. We lions will rise higher." All the lions cheered for him. "First, we must take out Sir Animal. He is capable of stopping us. Then,we attack the princess and her guards. After that, we spread across Equestria, killing all the normal ponies left in the world. LIONS WILL RISE! THIS MOMENT IS THE MOMENT I HAVE-" the lion was run over by a plane that had landed on top of it. A bright light shined as Sir Animal got out of the airplane. After the light died out , Sir Animal saw all the ponies staring at him blankly. "Has anyone seen Hypokitic? He said he wanted to show me something." Sir Animal said. No one moved or said a word. "It's awfully quiet in here." Sir Animal said, passing Lyra and Bon Bon. "Ack! Hair ball!" Lyra said clamping a hoof over her mouth. "Gross." Bon Bon said licking her hoof. * * * No one knows for sure what happened to the lion. No one had ever seen that lion again. No one knows exactly how Hypokitic had managed to chnage the ponies into tigers. Some say he used magic. Others said he used an incredible force of hypnotizing people and their body. Will this happen again? This is still a mystery that no pony really cares about anymore.
