“Okay, everypony!” Mrs. Cheers would announce. “We are now starting the Talent Show! First up is for a duo….Scootaloo and Rumble!”
Me and Rumble go in front of the room.
“This song was sang by Applejack and Fluttershy,” I’d tell the class. “Rumble will be Applejack and I’ll be Fluttershy. Hope you enjoy!”
A tune comes up, and Rumble starts the song.
Those vampire bats will give you a fright
Eat an apple both day and night
They rest for a minute
Maybe three
Then they’re eating every apple in your apple tree
They don’t care about nada, not zilch, no nothin’
‘Cept bringin’ about an orchard’s destruction
I continue the next verse.
Now wait just a minute
There’s another side to this
And if I did not defend them, then I would be remiss
These bats are mamas and papas, too
They care for there’s own just like we ponies do
Oh give me a break
You’re being too kind
These creatures have a one track mind
The orchard’s not their restaurant
But do they ever think what others may want?
No, they don’t
And that is just a fact
These bats
They simply don’t know how to act
That’s where I have to disagree
They’re loyal to their family
Spreading seeds both far and wide
You see one comin’
You better run and hide!
They’re big
And ugly
And mean as sin
Would you look at the state
My trees are in?
They help your trees
They’ll go strong and faster
They’ve turned my life
To a total disaster
The rest of the class knew what the other four sang, so half of the class sang Rarity’s, RD’s, TS’s, and PP’s.
Well I for one don’t have a doubt
These vermins must be stamped right out
I second that they’ve gotta go
These bats they’ve gotta hit the road
It comes down
To just one simple fact
They’ve crossed the line
It’s time to fight them back
Stop the bats
Stop the bats
Make them go and not come back
Stop the bats
Stop the bats
Make them go and not come back
Stop the bats
Stop the bats
Make them go and not come back
Yes, it comes down
To just one simple fact
These bats
They’ve simply don’t know how to act.
The class cheered as loud as possible. Me and Rumble bowed and got back to the places we were at before.
“So,” Mrs. Cheers would say. “Who’s next is…..”
