//------------------------------// // Show-stopping Number // Story: Whose Line: MLP // by Harbinger Of Mist //------------------------------// Welcome back to more Whose Line! The show that never ends... for some reason. Wait until we play all the games at least once. Well, we can cut corners since nothing with props is going to work in this format. Shame... I was looking forward to hitting Blunt with a giant rubber mallet. And we just did a second Hoedown. And whose fault was that? Careful what you say about my moon candy... She's finally gone now. What can she do? Anyway-- SHOT! *Takes a quick sip of water* Whatever. Let's move onto a game called "Show-stopping Number". This is for all four of you. How this game is played is Dull and Blunt are going to begin a scene with Solid and Star coming in later. And whenever they hear the buzzer, *Bzt!*, the last pony to speak has to break out into a short song using that last line. That is going to be abhorently difficult since none of us grew up in Ponyville. Hard for you, but I have quick thinking skills. Alright, anyway-- SHOT! *Runs back to chair and gulps more water* Stop it! Now... What I need from the audience is a boring setting that is in desperate need of livening up... Office! School! Hospital! Dog kennel! Haha! I heard "dog kennel"! So, Dull and Blunt, your scene is, you're two dogs in a kennel. And... eh, that's all I'm gonna give you. Take it away whenever you're ready. Blunt was pacing back and forth in a frustrated manner in an enclosed pen. He growled in irritation. "Gah, I'm sick of always having to stay at this kennel! My owners just went on their eighth vacation this year!" "Aw, come on," said Dull. "It can't be so bad if you've been here so many times. Surely you've gotten used to the food." "Oh, don't kid yourself!" Blunt replied. "This is only your first day! You haven't had the food! It's tasted like crap every time I've been here!" (Bzt!) It's tasted - like crap Every time I've been here It's like they fill our bowls From straight out their rears One of these days I'll make them eat it themselves And there'll be nothing left of them But their brains up on shelves Dull was confused. "What are you trying to say?" "I'm going to snap one day." Blunt continued. "And when I do, I'll force feed them the slop, then... eat them until only their brains are left... for... scientific studies! I suppose!" Dull disregarded his new friend's rant. "Well, while you plot your evil deed. I'm gonna see if I'm still cute enough to beg for a treat." He runs up to the fence of the pen and calls out for attention. "Hey! Does anyone want to pet me?! Anyone? C'mon! Whose leg I gotta hump to get a treat around here?! (Bzt!) Whose leg I gotta hump To get a treat around here? I know you can hear me You ponies have big ears Do I need to hump you? Do I need to hump him? 'Cause I'll hump anything On any little whim Blunt puzzled until his new companion returned to his side. "Uh. Remind me not to play fetch later on." Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. "I know something else we can do!" "What is it?" "Instead of me eating the workers, I can just tackle them down and have you hump them until they give in and get better food." "I hump for love, not torture." Dull objected. One of the workers came around the corner and laid his eyes upon the two of them. "Ah," Solid said. "I see you made friends with the new guy." Blunt grumbled in acknowledgement. "Oh, come on. Just speak. We all know you can talk." (Bzt!) Come on! Just speak! We all know you can talk! We've all known since the time You caught me eating chalk But enough about me I'm here for you two I'm gonna get you neutered And feed some new slop to you Solid placed down a bowl of an unknown substance while Dull looked noticeably shocked. "Wait, what?!" He yelped. "Yep!" Solid replied. "You're gonna be eating this new stuff, while I take Old Yeller out to get fixed." "What?!" Blunt shouted as Solid picked him up in his front hooves. "But I got neutered three years ago!" Solid responded. "Well, it was YOUR owners who paid the extra, so you're coming with me." "Wait!" Another voiced halted Solid's exit. "We don't offer services to have pets neutered during the owners' absence." Star explained to his confused co-worker. "They paid the extra to have him put in his own extra large pen." "You mean the one where we serve that new food?" Solid asked, gesturing to the bowl Dull took a mouthful of. "It's pretty good actually." Dull answered. Star took Blunt away from Solid and set him down. "You know where the pen is. I need to stay here and lecture my friend." (Bzt!) I need to stay here And lecture my friend This big mistake of yours Almost meant your end You need to learn that They depend on us If I hadn't stopped you It'd've cost him his pe-nuss BZZZZZZZZZTTTTTT!!! Oh, we're doomed. Can't we go one game without a sex joke?! I'd like that too. I want to be able to not fear for my life. I'm so sorry. Apparently, you do need to be from Ponyville to spontaneously burst into song properly. Well, a thousand points to each of you. Though I'm gonna dock Star half of his. Figured. We have more Whose Line coming along. Don't go away!
