Les petites juments

The enthusiast (Apple Bloom)

The theater curtain rises, revealing a stage play. Wooden houses and trees at the background, clouds hanging on wires resemble the sky, the lights focus on our main characters: a filly and a foal. She: yellow coat, red mane and a bow. He: orange coat and purple mane. Both dressed as children from a neighborhood. She with a pink dress, he with a blue-striped shirt and a baseball cap. She at the right and he at the left. Guitars begin to play, drums begin to rumble and they dance.

“When ya are happy with laughter to spare, ♪”
“Fun is twice as fun with someone to share. ♪”
“When you are lonely and full of despair ♪”
“Things aren’t half as bad when somepony cares. ♪”

Both hold their front legs and move their body to shake parallel.

“Maybe now ya have figured it out, ♪”
“That’s what bein’ a friend is ‘bout. ♪”

The foals face front, to the audience, he place behind her.

“When you’re lookin’ for a shoulder ya can cry on ♪”

He appears at her right.

“Won’t you think about me? ♪”

Then returns to his position.

“When ya’re lookin’ for someone ya can rely on ♪”

He appears at her left.

“Don’t you ever doubt me! ♪”

He places back to his original position.

“I’ll be there someway somehow, ♪”
“That’s what bein’ friends is about! ♪”

Guitars play louder, drums beat faster. Then continue by crossing their legs.

“When you grow restless and want room to breathe, ♪”
“I will give you all the space that you need. ♪”
“And when ya’re ready for mah company, ♪”
“I will come around, just call on me. ♪”

He holds her body in the air and twirl the filly.

“Maybe now you have figured it out, ♪”
“That’s what bein’ a friend is about. ♪”

Back to the ground, now she place behind him.

“When you need someone who feels the way you do ♪”

She appears at his right.

“Won’t ya think ‘bout me? ♪”

Then returns to her position.

“Someone who can pick you up when you are blue ♪”

She appears at his left.

“Don’t ya ever doubt me! ♪”

He places back to his original position.

“I’ll be there someway somehow, ♪”
“That's what bein’ friends is about! ♪”

The scenery changes from a village to a jungle, the stage goes completely black and ponies wearing tribal masks appear on the background, the music tunes up. Both kids hug each other and look directly to the eyes.

“I’m your friend, till the end. ♪”

The tribal ponies sing on chorus at unison.

“Count on me. ♪”
“In the sunshine and the rain ♪”
“Paradise and back again. ♪”

The tribal ponies sing on chorus at unison.

“Count on me. ♪”

The chorus comes back.

“Let me be a friend in need ♪”
“Let me be a friend indeed. ♪”

The tribal ponies sing on chorus at unison.

“Count on me. ♪”

The tribal ponies retire, the music tunes down and the scenery changes to an open field and both dancers look at the front, to the audience.

“And if ya ask me, ya know that it’s true; ♪”
“There is not a thing that I wouldn’t do! ♪”
“I’ll follow you to the end of the earth, ♪”
“That’s how much Ah think our friendship is worth! ♪”

The tribal ponies come back, but without their masks this time, the foals crossed their legs.

“Maybe now you have figured it out, ♪”
“That’s what bein’ a friend is ‘bout. ♪”

He twirls her.

“When there’s somethin’ that ya just don’t understand ♪”

Then stops.

“Won’t you think about me? ♪”

Now she spins him.

“I’ll be more than here to lend a helping hand. ♪”

Then stops.

“Don’t you ever doubt me! ♪”

For a last time they face the public, holding hands with the rest of the cast.

“I’ll be there someway somehow, ♪”
“That’s what bein’ friends is about! ♪”
“I’ll be there someway somehow, ♪”
“That’s what bein’ friends is about! ♪”

All the cast kneels, the music stops, the audience yells loudly and the taps are unanimous. The ponies head down, the theatre curtain falls.
