//------------------------------// // 1. New Year's Eve Party // Story: My Little Pony: The School Musical // by Harrison Sparrow //------------------------------// My Little Pony: The School Musical "My name is Twilight Sparkle." Future Twilight said, narrating. "Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there lived a unicorn pony named... me, of course. I was a student of the wise and regal Princess Celestia, who sent me to live in the town of Ponyville in order to learn about the Magic of Friendship. It was here where I became best friends with five special ponies, and together, we unlocked the most powerful weapon in Equestria, known as The Elements of Harmony, consisting of magic, loyalty, laughter, honesty, kindness and generosity. Every challenge that came our way, me and my friends were able to overcome. I have also been slated to be officially crowned Equestria's new ruler, thus ending the joint reign of Princesses Celestia and Luna, who have now retired to Silver Shoals. I have also been teaching my own student, Luster Dawn, about the important things of friendship. And it all worked out perfectly. Equestria was full of magic, music, wonder and happiness." "Until one day, something really frightening appeared." Twilight said, narrating. "A huge green comet was falling from the sky! And at high speed, it crashed right into the Earth! But we've all survived the impact, though." "Yeah, no one got hurt, especially us." Future Twilight said. "And a lot of weird things have happened since. The comet brought us into a whole new world. A world where there are amazing cities, the ponies are using modern technology, and they even drive automobiles. But the most important thing, is that there's still magic." "But a few hours later, we've discovered something shocking at the new castle in Canterlot." Twilight said. "Yep, there's now two of me and my friends! Quite the surprise, really." "That was where we met." Future Twilight said. "Yeah, I know." Twilight said. One year later, at a lodge, Twilight reads the book peacefully on a couch with her future-self. "So, in the end, we gotten use to our new life in the new world, and with the evil forces gone for good, life has never been more peaceful than it is now." Twilight said. "I can't wait to spend yet another exciting adventure with the best ever friends I will always have. The end." She closes the book. "And that's just about the end of reading time." Future Twilight said, checking her watch. "You read well, Twilight." "Thanks, Mom." Twilight said, as she gives Future Twilight the book. "You read well, too. It got really emotional near the end, at least in my own opinion." "And I have to say, I actually agree with you." Future Twilight said. Twilight chuckles, and Future Twilight gives her a kiss. "Looks like the party in the Freestyle Club is already in full swing. Are you ready to dance?" "Always ready! I can't wait!" Twilight said, as she walks off to the party. In the lodge's gym, Olivia Sparrow enters to find her son and husband shooting some hoops, practicing for an upcoming championship game in 3 weeks. James bounces the basketball to Harrison. "Okay, keep working left, Harrison." He said. "We've got a guard in the championship game we're expecting in three weeks. You'll torch 'em!" "By going left?" Harrison asked. "Yeah, you take it downtown while he looks middle." James said. "All right, like this?" Harrison said, as he goes left and throws the ball into the hoop, nailing the shot. "WHOO! Sweet! That's it, son! I wanna see that in the game." James said, pleased. "Boys?" Olivia said, trying to get their attention. "Oh, don't worry about me, Dad, you'll definitely see that in the game." Harrison said. "Hey, Mum. What's up?" "Oh, this is exactly what's up right now." Olivia said, "What? Me practicing for the game?" Harrison said. "Come on, Olivia, you know it's what he does." James said. "Well, did we really fly all this way just to shoot more hoops?" Olivia asked. Harrison and James look at each other for a moment. "Yeah." They both said. "What's wrong with that?" Harrison asked. "I came up here to remind you that it's the last night of vacation." Olivia said. "Remember the party?" "Ah, right, the party, of course." James said, as he pats Harrison. "New Year's Eve!" "Harrison, the party's in the Freestyle Club, downstairs." Olivia said. "Really, Mum? Party?" Harrison said, whining. "Yes! Now go, shower up!" Olivia said. Harrison uses his magical horn on the basketball, takes it from James and bounces it once. "Come on, one more!" He said, and Olivia sighs. "Last one." James walks over to Harrison and puts his hoof on Harrison's shoulder. "Real quick, okay?" He said. "Thanks, Dad, I love you. And you too, Mum." Harrison said. "You're always full of surprises." Olivia said, as she leaves the gym. As before, Harrison goes left and nails the shot. "Hoorah!" Harrison said. "Now that is how you end a game in style." At the party, Harrison enters and casually makes his way through the crowd. Twilight also shyly makes her way through the crowd as a partygoer tips his ridiculously large cowboy hat at her. "Howdy, Princess!" The partygoer said. "Uh, howdy to you, too." Twilight said, smiling timidly. Two ponies have finished singing a song together on a stage and the crowd cheers. "All right! How about that for a couple of snowboarders?!" The host said, as the crowd continues cheering. "Yeah! Now, who's gonna rock the house next? Huh!?" Two spotlights move around the crowd and eventually stop on Harrison and Twilight! "Huh?" Twilight said. "What the...?" Harrison said. The host steps off the stage. "Ha-ha! Ho-ho!" He said in excitement. Harrison politely attempts to decline. "Sorry, I can't sing." He said, but the ponies around him push him closer to the stage. "No, you go!" The host walks up to Twilight and takes her hoof. "And you! Yeah, come on!" He said. "Ah! Mom!?" Twilight calls out, feeling scared as she is led to the stage. Harrison is struggling to escape. "Look, I don't sing! I can't sing! No, guys…!" He said. "Get up there!" One of the partygoers said. Harrison and Twilight reluctantly get up on the stage. Harrison gulps. "Hey, you know what? You guys may thank me for this someday." The host said, as he gives the mics to Harrison and Twilight. "Or not." He walks off the stage. The music starts playing. "Let's see what you got!" One of the partygoers said. Twilight and Harrison didn't expect this, but they were building up their confidence and they enjoyed singing together. After they have finished, the crowd cheers wildly for them. Harrison and Twilight look into each other's eyes as Harrison raises his hoof. "Harrison Sparrow." Harrison said. "Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said, as she and Harrison shake hooves. Harrison and Twilight walk out onto the lodge's balcony with some hot chocolate. "Seriously, Princess Twilight, you have a wonderful voice." Harrison said. "You're a singer as well, right?" "Well, sure I am, on my own and with my friends, that is." Twilight said. "Just not... quite in front of a lotta ponies." "What? Why is that?" Harrison asked, confused. "I mean, I haven't experienced anything like that before." Twilight said. "You know, all of those ponies who were staring at me? I nearly fainted, but you gave me confidence." "Really? You nearly fainted?" Harrison asked, and Twilight nods. "Well, that was pretty hard to believe with the way you sang tonight, right?" "Well, actually, that was the first time I ever did that!" Twilight said. "Thanks to you, it was so cool!" "Wow! I did not know that." Harrison said. "So, have you sung a lot lately?" Twilight asked. "Um, yeah, I would say so." Harrison said. "I think my showerhead is really impressed with me." "9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" The crowd shouts out, and a magical fireworks display begins; the year is now 2020. Harrison and Twilight look and smile at each other in a moment of silence. "Oh, I gotta go and find my mom." Twilight said. "Wish her a happy new year." "Me too." Harrison said. "Ah, I mean, not your mum. My mum... and dad. Um... I'll call you. Call you tomorrow?" "Sure!" Twilight said. "All right, put your number in." Harrison said, as he and Twilight bring out their phones. "Smile for the camera." Twilight brings a lovely smile and Harrison takes a picture of her on his phone. "Lovely." "You too." Twilight said, as she gives Harrison her phone. Harrison then takes a picture of himself waving. "There you go." Harrison said, as he gives Twilight her phone back. Twilight then walks away without him noticing. "You know, me singing with you is the most fun I've ever had on this entire vacation. So, uh... where do you live?" He turns to see that Twilight has disappeared, and he takes a long look at the photo of her on his phone. "Twilight..."
