The next week we had auditions. I auditioned for Love Berry, the mane mare in this love story; and Platinum tried out for Golden Thunder, the mane stallion. Copper Shell also auditioned for Love Berry, but I hoped she would get Night Shade, the villain. We would have seven weeks to put the show together. This meant we would have practice three days a week and have another day for working on sets. I was one of the first to audition, with Honeycomb being last. The judges and directors of the show were Mrs. Cheerilee, Rarity, and Coco Pommel. While they discussed the roles, multiple foals had their hooves crossed. After a few minutes, everyone was called to the stage.
"We have made our decision, and the roles have been posted outside. If you have a problem with your part, please come to one of us and we will work it out. Have a wonderful day, everypony!" Mrs. Cheerilee said.
Everypony rushed outside and crowded around the results. I heard a few sighs of disappointment, but I also heard the CMC 2.0 give shouts of excitement. 'Guess they got the three zombies that chase the villains away.' I smiled to myself. Once I got close enough to see the results I saw that everything worked out according to plan. Copper Shell got Night Shade, Platinum got Golden Thunder, and I got Love Berry; I turned around and hugged Platinum.
"I bet I know what parts we got," he said with a laugh.
"I'm so excited!" I exclaimed.
Then I heard a snicker.
"Look at the two stars. I bet you two will enjoy the kissing scene," Copper Shell smirked.
Platinum's cheeks turned bright red and his eyes went wide.
He turned to me, "There's a k-kissing scene?!" he said bewildered.
"I didn't know!" I exclaimed in return, with equal bewilderment.
"Wow, the pony who picked out the production didn't know there was a kissing scene. I guess I was right, you're blind." Purity snickered as she walked over.
"Hey! Take that back!" Platinum shouted.
The bullies burst out laughing.
"What are you going to do about it? Make some amazing machine that can kill me?" Copper Shell smirked.
"Let's go, Platinum, they're not worth it." I said.
"Run along little puppy, go to your owner!" Purity called as Platinum hesitated.
Just then, Jazzy walked past and knocked Copper Shell over.
"Oops, mah bad," she said, then gave us a wink.
I tried to stifle my laugh.
"Don't y'all worry non, there's no kissin' scene," Jazzy Apple whispered. "Unless ya want there to be,"
That caused both Platinum and I to both go red in the face.
That night I dreamed of the show and Hearts and Hooves Day.
