“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…..”
