Temporary Secretary

by Super Trampoline


Not Sir Paul

She lands in a field in... [checks notes] Scotland and checks her watch: July 1979. Perfect. Yes, her watch tells you what year and month it is. Pretty nifty really. It was one of those expensive watches she saw a in an infomercial. And since she was a princess she could afford to splurge a little bit.

Anyway she approached a farmhouse and found Paul McCartney recording the song “Waterfalls“ inside. No not the one by TLC. That’s a good song though. I will go listen to it soon.

Uh oh. So I keep changing the tense of the story. That’s no good. I need a secretary myself apparently.

Anyway twilight sparkle approaches Paul McCartney and knocks on his door. ‘Ello there purple horse. What do you fancy I can do for you?“

But twilight sparkle’s language just sounds like robot noises to him. “Beep boop bop?” she asks.

Fortunately, Paul McCartney has been working with drum machines and other nascent electronic music technology all summer, so he understands her perfectly fine. “ no you don’t need to call me Sir Paul McCartney, I haven’t been knighted yet. Are you saying I will be knighted with great honor in the future? That’s pretty cool. So why are you here, Sparkle Horse?”

Twilight sparkle explains to him in her robot language that she needs help because someone keeps improperly capitalizing her name. Or not capitalizing it to be precise. She needs a temporary secretary who can fix the issue and she hears that Paul McCartney has been working on a song about temporary secretaries.

Paul McCartney is so inspired by her beautiful horse language that he has a bunch of beeps and boops to the background of his song “Temporary Secretary”, transforming it into the weird instant classic it is.

Anyway, Paul tells twilight sparkle that she can borrow his secretary at Apple Music who happens to also be a horse, named sugar sweet. Her name hasn’t been capitalized lately either, but he figures the two of them can figure something out. So twilight sparkle makes her way to Apple Music which I assume is headquartered in London. There she finds a fellow Pony named sugar sweet just as Paul foretold. Before she left his farm by the way, she told Paul to reconnect with John Lennon. Sure, John may be a wife beater, but he is going to die soon. Twilight doesn’t tell Paul that part though. She’s cryptic that way. Anyway Twilight prepares another time and space spell, and she and sugar song jump back to present day Ponyville.
