Sometime later, the Mane Six, Spike, and Cheese Sandwich followed behind Grandpa Joe and Charlie Bucket trying to catch up with the rest of the tour group, who had since gone on ahead. Following a near death experience, with the Fizzy Lifting Drink and almost getting chopped up by a giant fan, needless to say they were still pretty shaken up. Rarity’s cheeks remained a bright tomato-red, especially since she had to burp to get back to the ground. Those who know Rarity are aware she strives to be ladylike and pristine, to do something so vulgar like giving a loud belch just to save her life made her feel dreadful. Twilight had since walked beside her fashionista friend, knowing how quiet she has been since then.
“Rarity, I promise you it’s no big deal,” Twilight assured.
Rarity just hid her face in her mane, to embarrassed to even look her friend in the eye. Clearly she did not want to discuss this topic any further, just by her body language. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, trotted alongside the two hoping to console her friend.
“Come on, Rares, so what if you did this just one time?” Rainbow Dash asked. “So what if you had to belch to save your own flank? That does not make you less a lady than you were when you woke up. At least you’re alive.”
“Can’t you see I do not wish to discuss this any further, girls?” Rarity whispered. “I’d like to just continue with the rest of the tour and try to forget.”
“Rarity, I think you’re really…” Rainbow began.
“Rainbow, please!” Rarity almost sobbed. “Just… Stop!”
Hearing the distress in her friend’s voice, Rainbow sighed in defeat and trots back to the rest of the group. They all looked toward their friend, just as concerned as Rainbow.
“She’s taking this really hard, isn’t she?” Fluttershy asked.
“I don’t get her sometimes,” Rainbow shook her head. “It’s just a belch; every pony does it from time to time.”
“I think it’s more than just that, Rainbow. Rarity spent her entire life building a reputation for herself, to be the classy lady she always wanted to be. Up till today, she has never had to do something as vulgar as she did back there. Not even if it meant saving her own life.”
“I get what you’re saying, Flutters,” Rainbow assured. “But I still think she’s taking things a bit too seriously.”
“Well normally ah’d agree with yah on that, Rainbow,” Applejack spoke up. “But the truth is: Perhaps we oughtta take Fluttershy on her word.”
“Aw, come on! Not you too!”
“Every pony, calm down,” Spike speaks up, hopping on Applejack’s back. “We should just give Rarity some time to get over it. The least we can do is ‘try’ to cheer her up.”
Just then, Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich zoomed up alongside their three friends.
“Did somepony say, ‘Cheer up’?” Pinkie asked, excitedly.
“’Cause if there’s any pony, well any ‘ponies’, who know how to cheer up their friends look no further than Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich!” Cheese professed.
The two party-ponies produced custard pies, hurling them in each other’s faces. They soon pull out giant beach balls (Do not ask), bouncing up and down while sitting on them, until they bounced right into each other. But instead of laughing, however, the others trotted ahead to join the others. Pinkie and Cheese stopped bouncing as they watched, their beach balls deflating as the custard slipped off their faces.
“Aw, not even a chuckle,” Pinkie sighed. “This is serious.”
Pinkie felt something pat her back, turning to Cheese Sandwich, who gives a reassuring smile.
“Chin up, Pinkster. We’ll find a way to get your friends smiling again.”
Nodding in content, Pinkie Pie trots along with Cheese as they followed the rest of the group. Eventually, they stumble upon a large egg-shaped archway which lead straight to another room. As it appears, Mr. Willy Wonka and the remaining guests were standing in that room, staring in awe.
“I know what you’re thinking: They can’t be doing what they’re doing,” Mr. Wonka explained. “But they are, they have to. I haven’t met the Oompa Loompa yet who could do it.”
Suspended in giant nests sat the largest geese any pony had ever seen. So large in fact, they nearly topple over even the tallest human being on record. They were all laying what appears to be giant golden eggs, which the Oompa Loompas shined and packaged.
“These are the geese that lay the golden eggs,” Mr. Wonka continues. “As you can see, they are larger than ordinary geese. As a matter of fact, they are quadruple size geese which produce octuple size eggs. They’re laying overtime right now for Easter.”
“But Easter’s over!” Mike said, loudly.
Quickly, Mr. Wonka covers the boy’s mouth.
“Shh… They don’t know that. I’m trying to get ahead for next year.”
Twilight, along with Spike and the rest of the ponies, stare at the large birds in complete shock and awe. But none more surprised than Fluttershy. Back at her cottage in Equestria, she took care of many geese in her lifetime but they all pale in comparison to these. It made her slightly nervous, seeing how they dwarfed her with their amazing stature.
“Oh… My…” Fluttershy gasped.
“Amazing, isn’t it?” Twilight added.
“How the hay did they grow so huge?” Applejack asked.
“What happens if they drop one of those eggs, Mr. Wonka?” Spike asked.
“An omelet fit for a king, my little friend,” Wonka answered.
“Are they chocolate eggs?” Veruca asked.
“Golden chocolate eggs. That’s a great delicacy. But I wouldn’t get too close. The geese are very temperamental. That’s why we have the Eggdicator.”
Every pony paused, turning to the man in confusion.
“Eggdi-what?” Rainbow asked.
“The Eggdicator,” Mr. Wonka replied.
As he explains, a golden egg falls from the nest of one of the giant geese. The egg lands safely on a giant cushioned surface, a loud ‘Ding’ is heard, and an Oompa Loompa grabs the egg and places it in a cart before rolling it away.
“The Eggdicator can tell the difference between a good egg and a bad egg. If it’s a good egg, it’s shined up and shipped out all over the world.”
“And… What happens if it’s a bad egg?” Cheese asked.
Mr. Wonka turns to the party pony, giving a quick thumbs down before responding.
“Down the chute.”
Another egg drops from a nest, landing on the Eggdicator. This time, the machine gave off a ‘Honk’ and the hatch opens, causing the egg to drop down a large chute.
“It’s an educated Eggdicator,” Grandpa Joe whispered, to Charlie.
“It’s a lot of nonsense,” Mr. Salt chuckled, to himself.
“A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men,” Mr. Wonka whispered, in a sing-song voice.
Letting her curiosity get the best of her, Fluttershy lightly flaps her wings and flew up toward one of the large geese. Mr. Wonka grew concerned when he noticed this.
“Oh my dear, I wouldn’t do that,” Mr. Wonka warned. “Remember the geese have quite the temper.”
“Fluttershy, come back down here!” Twilight called out.
But Fluttershy just flew toward one of the geese. Once it saw her, it flapped it’s wings and starts honking loudly. Fluttershy just held up her hooves defensively.
“Shh… It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.”
The goose starts to calm down, slowing its wings. Fluttershy decides to go closer toward the goose, lightly stroking its beak.
“There, there,” Fluttershy cooed softly. “You can trust me; I’m a friend.”
The goose gave a light honk, then rubs its head on Fluttershy’s muzzle. Fluttershy giggles, as the goose wraps its wings around her and pulls her into a big hug. Mr. Wonka and the rest of the group watch with wide eyes, their mouths agape. After a moment, Fluttershy flew back to the rest of the group as Mr. Wonka knelt down to her level.
“How did you do that?” Mr. Wonka asked, amazed.
“I really love animals, Mr. Wonka,” Fluttershy smiled. “Back home, all I’d ever want is to befriend them. I think once they realize that it makes it easy to trust them.”
Mr. Wonka watched as the little yellow Pegasus walks back toward her friends, a small smile forms on his face.
“Hey, daddy!” Veruca called out. “I want a golden goose.”
The ponies, Spike, even Charlie and Grandpa Joe groan after hearing her say that.
“Here we go again,” Charlie sighed.
“What is that now like the twelfth time she said, ‘I want this’ since this tour started?” Rainbow shook her head.
“Thirteen, by mah count,” Applejack glared.
“Listen Veruca, was it?” Rarity stepped up. “Don’t you already have many marvelous pets at home?”
“All I’ve got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits,” Veruca listed. “And two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle AND a silly old hamster. I want a goose!”
“Goodness!” Rarity stepped back.
“All right, sweetheart, all right,” Mr. Salt smiled, stepping in. “Daddy’ll get you a golden goose as soon as we get home.”
“No, I don’t want any old goose!” Veruca whined, pointing. “I want one of those!”
“Very well.”
Mr. Salt proceeds to pull out his checkbook, turning to Mr. Wonka.
“Mr. Wonka, how much do you want for the golden goose?”
“They’re not for sale,” Mr. Wonka shook his head.
“Name your price.”
“She can’t have one.”
Veruca immediately spun on her heels, shocked to hear someone dare say what she can’t have.
“Who says I can’t?” She asked.
“The man with the funny hat,” Mr. Salt responded.
“I want one! I want a golden goose!”
https://m.(Skip to 0:21)
Having officially gone on a full-blown tantrum, not getting what she wanted for the first time, Veruca Salt went completely beserk. She starts tearing apart the golden egg room, hurling wrapping sheets, swinging at baskets, kicking boxes, knocking towers down, just ‘anything’ she could do to trash the place. Having seen enough, the ponies sprang into action, attempting to help the poor Oompa Loompas keep the place from falling apart.
“Hang on, I got it!” Rainbow yelled, holding the box tower.
Applejack lassoed a large cart of golden eggs, which rolled towards some equipment. Twilight and Rarity used her magic to help restack the boxes, Pinkie and Cheese cleaned up the mess, and Fluttershy tried to keep the geese calm. Meanwhile, Veruca’s temper kept up as she continues wrecking the joint. Unbeknownst to Veruca, she inadvertently stepped onto the Eggdicator, deemed a bad egg, and fell down the chute after a loud ‘Honk’! The last bit of her song echoes, as she falls until her voice fades into non-existence. Everyone looked on with wide eyes.
“She was a bad egg,” Mr. Wonka sighed.
“Ah think we all knew that!” Applejack nodded.
“Um… Where’s she gone?” Mr. Salt asked.
“Where all the other bad eggs go: Down the garbage chute,” Mr. Wonka answered.
“The garbage chute,” Mr. Salt laughed, nervously. “Where does it lead to?”
“To the furnace.”
“THE FURNACE?!” The ponies exclaimed.
“The furnace?!” Spike shouted, wide-eyed.
Mr. Salt, especially, laughed nervously again… Almost insanely.
“To the furnace… She’ll be sizzled like a sausage.”
“Well, at least better than being torn apart by an army of squirrels in the nut room,” Pinkie replied, nervously.
Mr. Wonka and Mr. Salt turned toward Pinkie Pie. While Mr. Wonka looked surprised, Mr. Salt merely twitched as if he were about to snap at any time.
“I never said there was a Nut Room in this factory,” Mr. Wonka points out.
Pinkie Pie, seeing the look on Wonka’s face, looked side-to-side trying to think of a response.
“Uh… Pinkie sense?” Pinkie smiled nervously.
Slowly, Mr. Salt approached the pinky party pony until he towered over her, as Pinkie looked up.
“My daughter is about to be fried to a crisp amongst a pile of spoiled eggs,” Mr. Salt spoke, through his teeth. “And you pick now of all times to make jokes?!”
“Well not necessarily,” Mr. Wonka steps in, shaking his head. “She could be stuck just inside the tube.”
“Inside the…? Hold on! Veruca, sweetheart, Daddy’s coming!”
Mr. Salt rushed toward the chute, jumped through the Eggdicator as it “HONKED” for the second time, signaling a bad egg. Mr. Wonka merely shook his head, disappointingly.
“There’s gonna be a lot of garbage today,” He sighed.
“Finally!” Rainbow said, thankfully. “I thought we’d never hear the end of that spoiled brat.”
“Rainbow Dash!” Rarity gasped, loudly.
“Oh, come on! She’s had this coming all day!”
“Regardless, even a family as spoiled and rotten as them don’t deserve this! Hurdling down a massive garbage pile, burned in a scolding furnace… It’s just not right!”
“Well, Mr. Salt finally got what he wanted,” Grandpa Joe smiled.
“What’s that?” Spike asked.
“Veruca went first.”
“Mr. Wonka, they won’t really be burned in the furnace, will they?” Charlie asked.
“Hmmm… Well, I think that furnace is lit only every other day,” Mr. Wonka thought. “So, they have a good sporting chance, haven’t they?”
Applejack faced the Eggdicator for a moment, shaking her head and dawned a fierce look of determination.
“Well ah fur one ain’t gonna let ‘em burn to a crisp,” Applejack declared, adjusting her hat. “Ah’m goin in after ‘em!”
As Applejack approached, Rainbow flew up and placed a hoof on her shoulder.
“A.J., are you serious? You go down there; you could get seriously hurt!”
“Wut other choice do we have? Ah as heck can’t stand to let ‘em fry.”
Rainbow thought for a moment, while it was tempting to let the Salts get what’s coming, she couldn’t help but agree with Applejack. Even though Veruca is a spoiled brat and her father is probably a terrible parent for letting her get her way all the time, even Rarity was right: They don’t deserve this.
“Well then, I’ll just have to go with you,” Rainbow declared.
“Thank you,” Applejack nods. “Twilight, grab my rope!”
Pulling out her lasso, Applejack hurls one end towards Twilight Sparkle, which she grabs with her aura. Tying the rope around their waists, the Earth Pony and her Pegasus friend ready themselves and leap down the chute after the salts. As they plummet down the pipes, the Oompa Loompas look after them and start singing.
https://m.<>
Meanwhile, screaming their heads off, Applejack and Rainbow slid down the garbage chute at an accelerated rate. Turned out, it wasn’t a straight plunge as the pipe twisted and turned, throwing them head over heels like it was the wildest ride of their lives. Eventually, they emerge from the end of the pipe and land directly toward a pile of garbage inside the furnace. The two ponies dug their way out, brushing off piles of broken eggshells and gosh knows what else was in here. Smears of old chocolate covered them, as they looked around, finding it hard to find where the Salts went, much less if they could move.
“I don’t know about you, A.J.,” Rainbow said, spitting out shell bits. “But I’m really starting to ‘hate’ that song!”
“Let’s just try an’ focus, Rainbow,” Applejack advised, looking around. “Mr. Salt!”
“Veruca!” Rainbow yelled, her voice echoing.
“Ya’ll down here?!”
“Here!” A male voice called. “Over here!”
The girls turned around and saw Mr. Salt and Veruca, the man waving his hands as they were stuck under a pile of garbage a few inches away. The girls trudge through the debris of garbage, some still pouring from the other chutes. Just then, Rainbow started to sweat as she wiped her brow with her wing.
“Phew! Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?”
Applejack looks around noticing the room was getting warmer, the walls around them started to glow a bright red. Her eyes widen, as she realized what this meant.
“Oh no!” Applejack gulped. “They turned on the furnace!”
“We gotta get ‘em outta here, now!” Rainbow shouted.
The girls ran quickly toward the two, as they start digging them out of the garbage. Finally, they managed to remove just enough trash to get the family out, though Rainbow had a difficult time pulling the bigger Salt out.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Mr. Salt sighed in relief.
“Don’t thank us yet old man,” Rainbow mutters.
SNAP! Suddenly, the lasso holding them together snaps when they see the chute automatically shut it’s doors. ‘BAM’, ‘WHAM’ was heard as all the other chutes started to seal their doors. No sooner do they close they hear a ‘WHOOSH” sound and turn as flames started to rise from multiple sides, one after the other. With the rope cut, Applejack looks around for an exit and catches an open hatch along the far side of the iron walls.
“Over there!”
They quickly make a mad dash for the door. Just then, they notice an Oompa Loompa approach the hatch, and obliviously gets ready to close it.
“Wait, wait!!” Applejack calls out. “There’s folks in here! Please stop!”
“Quick every pony, grab onto me!” Rainbow yelled.
Applejack grabs onto Rainbow’s front hoof, while the salts grab her hindlegs. Using all her strength, Rainbow shot straight across the furnace like a bullet. They rush past the hatch, nearly knocking the Oompa Loompa over, as it sealed behind them. Once safely outside, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ya’ll alright?” Applejack asked.
Veruca huffed, wiping the garbage off herself.
“This has been the upmost worst day of my entire life!” She yelled. “Just look at my dress! My best suit and it’s all ruined!”
“’Thanks for saving us’,” Rainbow spoke to herself. “’It was no big deal’… Nothing, we get nothing!”
“Ooh… I demand justice for this travesty, father!” Veruca continues yelling. “He will rue the very day he said ‘no’ to Veruca Salt! When we get home, I want you to buy me my own chocolate factory!”
Mr. Salt breathed heavily, as he stared toward his angry daughter. As she ranted, he glances over to Applejack, who only shook her head quietly. It was then he remembered their conversation earlier today, at the gate just before they entered. He remembered her saying how he needed to act like a parent, set boundaries, and start giving discipline. He had not done any of that today and they almost got killed. Finally, Mr. Salt furrowed his brow, turning to Veruca with a serious face.
“NO!”
Veruca nearly fell back, hearing her father raise his voice.
“What?”
“I said… NO!” Mr. Salt yelled. “I have heard quite enough out of you today, Veruca Salt; that orange pony was right all along. Ever since you were small, I tried everything to make you happy! I pour my heart out to you, I give you everything you want, I give you candy and toys and pets and what do I get in return?! You humiliate me in front of everybody! You should count yourself lucky we weren’t just burnt to a crisp, today!”
“B-B-B-But, I…”
“NO BUTS! It’s high time you start learning some discipline young lady, whether you want it or not!”
Mr. Salt then grabs Veruca by the ear, pulling her away. Veruca cringes in pain as they walk, the worn-out man looking around till he spotted the sole Oompa Loompa in the room.
“Where’s the bloody exit to this room?!” Mr. Salt shouts.
The Oompa Loompa silently points in the direction toward the exit, as he leads the pair toward the door. As the Salts walk, Mr. Salt paused and turned toward Applejack and Rainbow Dash, who looked quite pleased.
“Thank you,” Mr. Salt whispered, with a smile.
“Yer quite welcome, Mr. Salt,” Applejack tipped her hat.
“Glad to see you finally grew some backbone,” Rainbow praised.
Then Mr. Salt turns back, leading his daughter through the furnace room to find the way out.
“Well, that’s that,” Rainbow said, brushing her hooves. “Guess we’ll have to find our own waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!”
Suddenly, both Applejack and Rainbow Dash were lifted off the ground as a magical purple aura engulfed them.
<>
In a flash of light, they were poofed back into the golden egg room. They barely had time to recover when they were crushed by their friends in a big group hug.
“Are you guys alright?” Twilight asked, frantically.
“We thought we lost you when the rope broke,” Rarity added. “You weren’t burned that badly, were you?”
“Guys, chill out!” Rainbow assured. “We’re fine.”
“What about Mr. Salt and Veruca?” Fluttershy asked.
“Oh, they’re both just fine and dandy,” Applejack responded, turning to Wonka. “Only lit every other day, Mr. Wonka?”
“To be fair, I assumed the incinerator was still broken,” Mr. Wonka replies. “That’s three weeks of rotten garbage… My mistake.”
Mr. Wonka proceeds to walk away leaving the ponies befuddled as to how he’s taking all this calamity so well.
“Anyways… At least Mr. Salt finally stood up for himself,” Rainbow smirked. “You should’ve seen the look on Veruca’s face when he finally said ‘no’ to her. Maybe from now on he’ll finally start being a real parent.”
Every pony sighed in relief, knowing not only that their friends are safe but perhaps Veruca Salt will finally start learning what it’s like not to get her way. And yet even after all that, Mr. Wonka still carries on with the tour as he leads them toward the exit.
“I don’t understand it,” Mr. Wonka replies, casually. “The children are disappearing like rabbits. Well, we still have each other. Shall we press on?”
“Sure, why not,” Spike said, dryly.
“Mr. Wonka, can’t we sit down for a minute?” Mrs. Teevee moaned. “The pace is killing me.”
“For once, I must agree with Mike’s mom,” Rarity admitted. “Do we really need to be in such a hurry?”
“My dear lady, transportation has already been arranged,” Mr. Wonka answers.
“Really? Well… I suppose…”
“Great! Let’s keep on trucking!”
And with that said, Mr. Wonka breaks off as the rest of the group starts to follow. That made three children, plus three parents removed from the tour, as the ponies soon noticed. They couldn’t begin to imagine what else to expect on this tour.
Getting to this chapter, it was tough to decide between whether to have the kids go to the room with the Golden Geese or the Nut Room. The fact that we were at least able to sneak in a reference at all is a miracle. But to keep to the canon of the original feature, it was an executive decision to have them go to the Egg Room mainly because this was that one scene that has Veruca's one solo, a slight change in pace from the repetitive 'Oompa Loompa' tracks (And because there's not a ton of ways to use 'squirrels' in the lyrics). For the most part, it's strictly the same story: A kid causes trouble, they face the consequences of their actions, and the Oompa Loompas sing... But there's a special bonus.
For this chapter to be special, we also decided to include an original scene that shows two of the ponies actually 'trying' to save one of the kids even if Veruca is a spoiled brat. We didn't just want to settle with them going into the furnace, which happens to turn on for this 'one' day, and then have the daughter and father rescued without a thanks. We also wanted this as a chance for Mr. Salt to shine, to finally get some back bone and prove that while Veruca may be his daughter, he is still the father, the master of the house. Throughout the whole movie he was pushed around and got no respect no matter what he buys for her. Sure, they tackled this issue in the remake but I felt the original deserved a more 'emotional' moment.
Overall, we are very satisfied with how this chapter turned out and we hope you have fun reading this.
10231957
Someone was bound to say that sooner or later.
Just glad we only implied it, 'TTG' would literally push the joke just so obnoxious kids would laugh.
Hey... You use what I told you about the Tom & Jerry version. Mr. Salt grew some backbone and yelled at Veruca
Awesome work, and coming up next the Wonka Mobile and Wonka Vision. I imagine Rarity aside from Mike and his mom would not enjoy the foamy substance shooting at them during the Wonka Mobile ride, while the other Ponies and Spike much like Charlie and Grandpa Joe will have fun with the stuff. Thankfully a trip through Wonka Wash will get Rarity cleaned up, and may even ask Wonka for one since it cleans so well. Plus A.J and Rainbow would need it after falling into that garbage and such. And Rarity could even make ponified version of the Wonka Vision room suits, or Wonka as prepared as he is would have them already. either way I'm excited we're getting closer and closer to the finish
10231959
Yep. Only we were aiming for 'epic' and not so much 'slapstick'.
10231973
I think all that can be arranged for sure. After everything they've been through, Applejack and Rainbow Dash could use a wash considering God only knows what was in that furnace aside from busted egg shells.
And we have the golden egg scene rather than the original, but I like the nod to the nut room. This is a good chapter. I like it, especially that we get to see Mr. Salt finally saying "no" to Veruca.
10231996
Yeah, considering he didn't really say it in the remake but more like pushed the idea of buying a flying glass elevator for Veruca after they just barely got out of the garbage pile. We didn't want Mr. Salt to be just another parent who doesn't seem to learn anything from this experience, we wanted to determine what it would take for him to reach his boiling point (In which case, 'literally') before he finally realized 'enough is enough'. Kind of like a HUGE role reversal that Diamond Tiara is going through right now.
10231984
I gotta say, for you and Mr. Enigma, you guys sure are fast writers.
10232024
I wouldn't say we're 'fast', though the folks at the library are impressed how I handle certain job tasks so quick.
We prefer to look at it as, 'Going on our own pace'. We've had this idea as how we want this story to progress, we know which elements we want to try, and the real focus is giving it the proper care and pampering to make sure it's ready for presentation. Otherwise, any faster and the work will look 'sloppy' and thus ruin our reputation as a writing duo.
10232032
Right. I was saying you guys were fast cause you guys got the last chapter done yesterday, and got this chapter done today.
10232044
You may look at it that way. I prefer to call it taking advantage of putting in the extra work when we had enough time available.
10232047
Okay. Anyway, nice job.
DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!!!
Well, Veruca got what was coming to her, and Mr. salt learned some humility as well.
Great chapter! I only wonder what's coming next!
Eh, every pony back home will certainly know about that.
That's "goose."
You're missing "like" or "love" there.
Bye-bye.
10232070
Oh dear, I thought I made sure those words were there when Mr. Enigma asked me to look.
Awesome chapter
10232092
Why thank you! Mr. Enigma had a real blast with this chapter. We can't wait to share what we got next.

10232128
That song couldn't be further from the truth. When we see a person, like a kid for example, we see that they can be liars, grumps, hoarders, and brutish towards kids weaker than they are. Now I'm not saying this applies to 'everyone' but just for the sake of diving into the question, we merely have to ask ourselves this question: Can such a child be 'born' to simply act out this way? OR... Is there a deeper development that encourages them to act out and get away with it?
The sad reality is this: The bullies and snobby kids who act this way only do so because that's how their parents are. Even if those kids may seem sad and confused initially, eventually those behavioral methods will transfer over to them, and unless given the attention they so rightfully deserve... They are doomed to grow up to be just like them. And that same process will eventually be passed down to their children... And their children... And their children's children. Like an endless loop that never ends.
Everyone put on your raincoats and hats, we all know what's coming next in the story. This is a great chapter by the by.
10232128
truer words never spoken.
10232001
Ah. Well, good job. Speaking of Diamond Tiara, I hope she's doing okay...
10232142
10232162
Not to mention it would be quite a lesson for Diamond Tiara and her parents. Mostly her mother.
Good riddance to Veruca. Attaboy, Mr. Salt!
10232176
Don't worry we did not forget about her. We can't give anything away, but she's part of the plan.
10232182
We can't wait to see how your 'guests' will react to some of those moments. And perhaps you can add a certain 'melody' for Veruca's little fall.
So long as the guests don't mind working with... Questionable props.
10231973
What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three.
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or could you just not bear to look?
You'll get no commercials.
It sure was nice from AJ and RD to save Veruca and her father, even though she deserved it. Nice to see the Tom & Jerry Willy Wonka movie reference.
It kinda surprised me she didn't ask her father if she wanted one of the ponies.
10232187
No spoliers, I get it. Can't wait to see what happens.
10232181
indeed.
10232197
sometimes i have to sing this song to myself.
10232248
Nice 'commentary' by you!
10232213
yeah, i thought she would ask for one of the ponies as well!

Well, don't let anybody say that Wonka did not warn that little girl. She's lucky this wasn't the 'R-Rated' version of the movie or her 'juice' would be put into blue-coated candies.
Extremeenigma02, do you do movies with little cursing, cause I'm thinking maybe you can do twister which is my absolute favorite and also how long does it take to make one chapter?

The 'Cinematic Adventures' doesn't discriminate, if that's what you mean. Mr. Enigma and I can 'handle' a movie that's bigger than a 'family friendly' quality, even if there are some moments the ponies may not be used to. But apart from Spike, these ponies are old enough to live entirely on their own, hold a job, and pay their mortgage. I'm pretty sure they are adult enough to handle it.
Sweetie: (concerned) Poor Rarity.
Starlight: Give it a rest, Rainbow Dash.
Ocellus: Look at the size of those geese!
Trixie: Quiet, you loudmouth!
Wind Sprint: Uh, what's Easter?
Starlight: Sunset told me about that one. It's a sad story, yet a happy one.
Gallus: How can it be both sad and a happy one?
Starlight: According to the Bible, one of the greatest books on Earth, there was a son of the Lord himself named Jesus Christ who is the savior of the people. Kinda like you, Princess Celestia.
Celestia: Go on.
Starlight: Yes, he will make blind men see and the disabled walk.
Wind Sprint: Wow, he must be a great man.
Starlight: Yes, he was....but some people don't like him and question His authority. Sadly, one day, a man named Judas betrayed him for 30 silver coins.
Trixie: That's awful!
Luna: It disgusts me that such a human would betray his lord for coins.
Starlight: He did show remorse and, according to some scriptures, when he failed to give the coins back, he hung himself!
Discord: How dreadful!
Starlight: The rest is too gruesome, but Jesus was put on trial, was beaten, given a crown of thorns, which is very painful, and then, after a failed Passover release, Jesus was sentenced to crucifixion.
Scootaloo: I'm scared to ask: what's crucifixion?
Starlight: Nailed to a cross.
(Flurry Heart whimpered at this and hid under her mother's wings.)
Cadance: It's okay, sweetie, it's all right.
Starlight: I saw a movie that is about the whole thing. The Passion, I think it was called. And it wasn't a pretty sight.
Trixie: Then please don't describe the details of the beatings!
Starlight: Don't worry, I won't.
Ocellus: I'm scared.
Starlight: Well, to make the long story short....
Mudbriar: Technically too late!
Starlight: Jesus died, and one soldier poked him with a spear called the Spear of Destiny. He was put in a tomb which has a large stone covering it.
Sandbar: So when does the good part comes in?
Starlight: (grins) Oh yes, the good part. One Sunday morning, a woman named Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and find it empty. And on a miracle, Jesus was resurrected!
Foals: Wow!
Starlight: Wow indeed! He reappeared to his disciplines and after a few things, he ascended to Heaven to be with his father and welcome those who accepted him there after they died.
Celestia: Incredible! No wonder Jesus is compared to me!
Garble: Uh, quick question: what does this got to do with what we're seeing?
Starlight: Oh. Well, nowadays on Earth, besides going to Church and learning about Jesus, people would hunt for Easter Eggs and eat candy, like chocolate bunnies.
Foals: Oooooooh!
Cadance: That's amazing.
Starlight: I know.
Apple Bloom: You took the words right outta my mouth, Applejack!
Celestia: Most intriguing.
Starlight: I'll say it is.
(Everyone glared at him for that.)
Smolder: Non-believing blubber for brains.
Luna: That's telling him.
Crusaders, Ocellus and Smolder: (gasps in concern, in unison) Fluttershy!
Trixie: (amazed) Did you see that?!
Starlight: (likewise) She did it!
Sandbar: We better take note of that, guys!
Students: Yeah!
(The students quickly brought out their notes and wrote Fluttershy's words down.)
Apple Bloom: (irritably) Will she never stop?!
Sweetie: I bet she doesn't take proper care of her pets at all!
Ocellus: I agree! Ohh, that Veruca's driving me crazy!
Shining: I can quite easily agree with that.
Cadance: Me too.
Shining: Forget it, Veruca. No is no is no!
Apple Bloom: Hey! She's wrecking the golden egg room!
Scootaloo: That brat!
Sweetie: Some pony stop her!
(Everyone watching was wide-eyed, except Discord, who was laughing hysterically at this.)
Discord: That was a funny song sequence ending!
All watching: (shocked) The furnace?!
Discord: More like breaking the fourth wall, knowing the book this movie's based on.
Scootaloo: Me too!
Starlight: Thank goodness she's gone.
Trixie: Good riddance!
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Quibble: Not helping, Mr. Wonka!
Apple Bloom: Go for it, Applejack!
Scootaloo: Good idea, Rainbow Dash.
Discord: (annoyed) Oh, no, not that song again!
Luna: It is SO monotonous!
Celestia: I have to agree, Luna.
Scootaloo: Me too, Rainbow Dash!
Crusaders: (in unison) Uh-oh!
Gilda: Hurry, you two! Hurry!
Big Mac: The lasso!
Yona: Oompa Loompa can't hear Applejack!
Silverstream: (as she covered her eyes) Oh, I can't look!
Gallus: Silverstream, look! They're okay!
Silverstream: (uncovers eyes, sees what happened to Rainbow, Applejack and Salts, sighs in relief) Whew!
Maud: (sarcastically) There's gratitude for ya.
(The group watching the movie cheered and applauded at this.)
Garble: (as he gave a thumbs up) Attaboy, Mr. Salt!
Luna: Finally! The fat buffoon gives the brat discipline!
Apple Bloom: NOW we can say good riddance to Veruca!
Discord: Indeed. Nothing like taking out the trash!
(Everyone- minus the stoic Maud Pie and Mudbriar- laughed at Discord's joke.)
Maud: (smiles) Now that was funny.
Zipporwhill: What's happening?!
Cadance: It's Twilight! She's got them!
Shining: Geez! What is with that guy?
Sunburst: Your guess is as good as ours, Shining Armor.
Silver Spoon: Transportation? I wonder what they'll travel in?
Apple Bloom: We'll soon find out, Silver Spoon.
Discord: But until then, let's do another musical number. Shall we?
Cadance: Oh, please do! That Oompa Loompa song was getting annoying.
Discord: Right. 2, 3, (snaps fingers) 4!
(As soft music plays, the theater room changed into the Nut Room from the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film. There were squirrels everywhere in the seats while every creature- except Celestia, Luna, Shining, Cadance and Flurry- got into position as they sang while dancing.)
All (Sings):
Veruca Salt
The little brute
Has just gone down the garbage chute.
And she will meet, as she descends,
A rather different set of friends
A rather different set of friends
A rather different set of friends
(Gilda smirked as she held up a large fish head while singing her part.)
Gilda (sings):
A fish head, for example, cut
This morning from a halibut.
(She threw the fish head into the garbage chute before Garble threw an oyster shell at the same time Trixie tossed a rotten steak into the chute as well.)
All (Sings):
An oyster from an oyster stew
A steak that no one else would chew.
And lots of other things as well each
With its rather horrid smell
Horrid smell
(On the 'horrid smell' part, the performing creatures back away from the chutes while plugging their noses from the stench. Now they raised their arms/front hooves up like they're in a play from Broadway.)
These are Veruca's new found friends
That she will meet as she descends
These are Veruca's new found friends
(They then harmonized like a chorus while Flurry was moving her head to the beat. A clone of Discord- dressed like Mr. Salt- appeared as he walked towards the chute. The Crusaders and Wind Sprint circled around him while pointing towards "Mr. Salt" at the same time the other performers waved their hooves/claws, as if scolding him.)
Who went and spoiled her, who indeed?
Who pandered to her every need?
(Garble looked at a squirrel with a devilish grin as he sang while giving it a very funny idea.)
Garble (Sings):
Who turned her into such a brat?
All (Sings):
Who are the culprits?
Discord (Sings):
Who did that?
(While it happened, "Mr. Salt" Discord looked down the garbage chute while a picture of Mrs. Salt was tossed down the chute as the squirrel started rushing up to the Discord clone from behind.)
All (Sings):
The guilty ones-
Now this is sad-
Are dear old Mom, and loving... Dad
(The instant the singers sang 'Dad', the squirrel jumped up to the "Mr. Salt" Discord and hit him in the butt, making him fall down the chute while letting out a Goofy holler.)
(The ponies watching the performance laughed at this as they applauded.)
Celestia: Most amusing.
Luna: Splendid performance, every creature!
Starlight: (giggles) Thanks, Luna. Now, let's resume watching the movie.
Trixie: You got it, Trixie.
(Then Discord snapped his fingers, turning everything once again back to the theater setting before the group resumed watching the movie.)

I am elated and delighted that you hold the Bible in such high esteem! This commentary is a truly special one to me, because of your good reference! God Bless you!!!!!!
10232571
Thank you very much!!!
Hey guys I don't want to question anyone's opinion but why are some of you looking down on the oomp loompa songs even calling it monotonous.
The songs are very fresh with each adaptation and they teach you not to be greedy, spoiled and rude to others.
I think they are special and I know deep down I am not alone
10232571
Well, I helped him with the Easter part, but yes, we both hold the Bible in high esteem.

It's not as if we think the Oompa Loompa songs are bad by any means, quite the opposite. But it's easy to poke fun at the fact that's pretty much the same harmony but with different lyrics. True... They still teach a moral lesson about the consequences of being greedy or ambitious or spoiled. We are not denying that. But I think the major reason why the songs are that popular whether fans like it or not is mainly because it's so easy to poke fun at the song... Just for fun.
10232614
Thank you that makes me feel better
“Well, at least better than being torn apart by an army of squirrels in the nut room,” Pinkie said nervously.
Fun Fact: That actually happened in the Broadway Adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Musical.

Yikes.

Yeah... That was so 'disturbing'. Yet interesting that they made Veruca Salt Russian instead of British.
