Author’s Note: It’s official. I’ve reached the level of bronydom where I’m having pony dreams. It’s true, I was more than half awake at the time, but it was still in the wake of a day’s sleep that it happened. I had fallen asleep watching Swarm of the Century on my DVR, and woke up to a life insurance commercial. My sleep-addled brain took the concept of life insurance and ran with it to places that only make sense to Pinkie Pie. Here is what I got.

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are standing over a coffin in Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow Dash is clearly distraught. Twilight less so, but still upset.
Twilight Sparkle: I... I can’t believe she’s gone.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah. It just doesn’t make any sense. But I guess that’s her all around.
Twilight Sparkle: This service... it’s what she would have wanted.
Rainbow Dash: I just hope I have enough to cover the funeral expenses. Pinkie Pie never planned ahead for--
Pinkie Pie: Hey! Whatcha guys doin’? Who’s in the box?
Rainbow Dash: Augh. Pinkie!
Director: CUT!

Twilight Sparkle: (exasperated) PINKIE!
Director: CUT!

Rainbow Dash: I never knew how expensive a funeral could be. It--
Pinkie Pie: This is all wrong! I demand a wake! With streamers, and balloons, and Pin the Tail on the Pony. AND CUPCAKES!
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie!
Director: CUT!

Announcer (O.C.): Equestrian Mutual. Yeah. This is the footage we went with.
I know FiMFiction has a "No Scripts" rule for stories, but I'm hoping that as there is an actual story in chapter one of this there won't be a problem. I had forgotten the rule when I added the chapter.
I'd like to leave it up because it makes me giggle. If need be, I'll restructure it into an actual story or remove it from the fic.

Oh, that was awesome! Can't keep a Pinkie down. Nope.
I might watch this too......definitely a nice set of misc shorts!
