Know your Mare - overlord-flinx



It's silly, it's pointless, and it makes little to no sense... I've heard of worse story ideas.

The Final Song.

As per request and ill foreseen contracting errors...

We at Know Your Mare productions are to present...

Know Your Mare the musical...

...All copy written material is to be souly placed on the actors...

...Actors that have not once--

Just enjoy the show...


Know Your Mare's stage had its single spotlight set on the form of Discord as he sat on a chair, his head hung low as a slow song began to play.

I've paid no dues~~...

Every single time~~...

I escape my sentence~~...

After committing some crime~~...

Discord's head lifted up slightly, his eyes furrowing with determination as he continued to sing.

And bad mistakes~~...

They made a few~~...

I kicked my share of sand in a pony face~~!

But they kicked too~~!

With a sharp scratch, the music changed entirely and Pip came out from off the stage with his own spotlight on him, just running across the stage while singing.

P-p-p-pokah' face, p-p-pokah' face~~!

Wha-wha-wha-what?

P-p-p-pokah' face, p-p-pokah' face~~!

Wai-wai-wai-wait!

The spotlight on Pip flashed off again, leaving Discord alone while his music returned with a few skipped bars.

I've taken my bows~~...

And my curtain calls~~...

I can make fame and fortune and anything I could ever want~~...

Who needs you all~~...?

But it's been no bed of roses~~...

No pleasure cruise~~...

That's why I play tricks on the whole pony race~~!

'Cause I can never lose~~!

Yet again, the musical track switched and Pip ran across the stage.

P-p-p-pokah' face, p-p-pokah' face~~!

Pip!

Yes Cap'n?

Why are you singing that?

I thought we were gonna sing Pokah' Face...

Hmm...

...A good choice...

But no...

Really...?

I guess Queeny was righ'...

Right about what...?

Suddenly, the music neither of them were singing to disappeared and everything fell silent for a moment. With the same suddenness, a strong strike of music started playing with the mix of guitars, piano, and booming drums. The stage itself began to ring around with green fire that shot up to the ceiling while the center of the stage split open wide, sending smoke around the legs of Discord and Pip. Out from the smoke, Chrysalis darted up into the air, fanning the flames with her wings as she summoned up a great strength.

On a cold winter morning~~!

In the time before the light~~!

The swarm's flame, eternal reign~~!

We overtake like night~~!

Chrysy?

When the royals have fallen down~~!

And my horde attack on sight~~!

The sound of evil laughter falls~~!

Upon your world tonight~~!

Chrysy!

Feeding hard, feeding on the last of their love~~!

Back to our wastelands forevermore~~!

CHRYSY!

The music died down and so did the fires as Chrysalis landed next to the others with a frown.

What...?

What are you singing...!?

Through the Fire and Flames...

...Wasn't that what we were doing...?

No...!

So we were going to do Poker Face...?

No...

Then what are we doing...?

I don't know anymore...

Phenomenal Discord...

You've found one last way to mess up something for all of us...

...Bravo...

...Pipsqueak...?

Yes Cap'n...?

Play track seven...

...Can I sing back up...?

Of course...

With a little click of Pipsqueak's hoof, the music that remained of Chrysalis' faded away completely and was replaced by a tapping start of a new song.

Come on Chrysalis~~...

Have fun Chrysalis~~!

You're always being such a mule~~!

Chrysalis rolled her eyes, but both Discord and Pipsqueak could see a smile cracking up behind her face.

We'd like to take you to a party~~...

But you won't let us get a word in on it~~!

We'd like to take you into town to by sweets~~...

But you get bitter about it every time~~!

Chrysy~~!

Alright you two...

...I receive the message loud and clear...

We're just funning Queeny...!

You know we love you...!

Yes...

...I'm sure...

We got any more time Cap'n...?

Hmmm...

I think we have time for just one more tune...

...And I know just the one...

Discord and Pipsqueak both looked confused at Chrysalis' willingness to play a song. They braced themselves for something along the lines of "Be Prepared", but as the music started playing with an oddly upbeat tone, they looked at Chrysalis again.

In the end, I won't be with you~~!

You will go where your dreams come true~~!

But the times that we have gone through~~!

Will always mark us best friends~~...

Tearful smiles came across Discord and Pipsqueak as they hugged Chrysalis; Discord around her neck and Pip tight against her leg.

Here we were, odds put to adventure~~...

Danger lurked always in our darkness~~!

We had set for surprises! But never battles~~!

We're a team! Only Derpy ever mess with us~~...

If we stand as one, we're something to fear~~...

We'll hide in the darkness, but we'll stay real near~~!

All through this time, that's how it has be:~~

Our team of three~~~~!

In the end, we won't be with you~~!

We will go where our dreams come true~~!

But the times that we have gone through~~!

Will always mark us best friends~~...

I love you two...

I love ya' too Pippy ol' boy...!

...

...

...Queeny...?

Must I...?

Come on...

Do it...

...You already sang the song...

...For us...?

Though I loath you both deeply...

...I seem to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome...

Meaning...?

I...

...Do not dislike you two...

...One could dare even say...

...I -care- for you two...

We love you too!
