EqG Tales: Monster High Edition

1. Saving Movie Night

Inside her workshop, Twilight Sparkle was using her laptop to look at schematics of an old projection device she was fixing when Applejack and Sunset Shimmer came in.
"Hey, Twilight." Sunset greeted. "What are you up to today?"
"We’re fixing this old projection system for my parents' movie night." Twilight explained. "They were going to a movie theatre until a car crashed into a pole connected to the place."
"Ouch! That must've knocked out power for the place."
"Yes, it did, Sunset. This projector is finished. Now, all I need are the bulbs needed for the lamps in this device."
"Twilight," Applejack wondered, "you said WE were fixing the projector. Who's helping y'all?"
Just then, a lime green skinned girl with black and white hair streaks comes in with a paper bag.
"I have those bulbs you asked for." The girl said.
"Thank you." Twilight replied as she takes the bulbs out of the bag.
When Applejack saw that the girl has two different colored eyes, stitches on her arms and legs, and bolts on her neck, she knew who the girl was.
"Frankie Stein." Applejack called out. "What brings you here?"
"Twilight called me and told me about this movie night situation." Frankie explained. "And, she said that she needed some extra help."
Sunset was very surprised to hear the story. "Who'd thought Twilight would call someone from Monster High for help?"
"Sometimes help from out of town is a good idea."
"I guess you're right, Frankie."
Twilight closed a panel and turned to the others. "Well, the projector is finished. Now, all we need is my DVD player and speakers, and we'll test the equipment."
Later, Twilight connected the projector to the DVD player and speakers, plugged them in, and prepared for a test.
"Well," Twilight announced, "it's time to see if the projector works. A movie is loaded, and we're all set."
Frankie Stein started to get nervous. "Do you guys mind if I wait outside?"
"What's wrong, Frankie?" Applejack asked.
"Every time I get nervous, I start to fizzle. And, I don't want to short out the equipment."
"Listen, Frankie." Twilight said. "If you are that nervous, you can wait inside my house. My parents can help you take it easy."
Frankie starts to leave the workshop. "Thanks, Twilight."
Inside the house, Frankie tries to relax as Twilight's mother, Twilight Velvet, comes in to talk to her.
"Calm down, Frankie." Twilight Velvet said calmly. "There's no need to be nervous."
"I guess you're right." Frankie replied.
"Twilight told me and my husband, Night Light, about that projector. I have faith in my brilliant daughter."
Twilight, Applejack, and Sunset came into the house with smiles on their faces.
"The projector works!" Twilight announced. "Mom and Dad's movie night is saved!"
Everybody was happy as the girls came to Frankie.
"Y'all had nothing to worry about after all." Applejack said.
"She's right, Frankie." Sunset added. "Twilight is very grateful to you for helping out."
Frankie was very happy as Twilight and friends gave Frankie a hug. But, Frankie's bolts sparked and shocked the three girls. They were dazzled as Frankie sees what happened. "Whoops. Sorry."
Later that night, Twilight Velvet and Night Light were watching a movie in the backyard. Thanks to Twilight and Frankie, the movie night was saved.
"My parents look so happy." Twilight cooed.
"They should." Applejack replied. "That set up you prepared, the projector, the DVD player, and the speakers, went well."
Twilight blushed as Sunset turned to Frankie. "I guess Twilight is glad you helped out, Frankie."
"Really?" Frankie blurted.
"Yeah. I'll bet your zombie friend, Ghoulia Yelps, would be proud of you."
"Thanks, Sunset."
The two girls high fived each other, which results in Sunset getting shocked. Her hair went vertical as Frankie commented. "My mother would love to see that hair of yours, Sunset Shimmer."
Sunset felt her hair, and shared a laugh with Frankie Stein. "You're probably right."
