The Rocky Horror Pony Show

by Fonzie

The late night double feature picture show

When it comes to the night, you'd usually expect people having a night on the town or doing some last minute shopping for an anniversary they remembered at the last minute.

But this wasn't the case here, for a long line of ponies, griffons, hippogriffs, and other creatures were lined up in front of the largest theater in equestria, waiting for tonight's midnight movie. Some carried an odd assortment of things instead of the usual food and drinks they'd sneak in, others wore rather odd costumes, sometimes it would be both.

"I can't wait for the show to begin." Pinkie Pie said to her friends.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time." Said Zephyr Breeze, not trying to flirt with Rainbow Dash for once, which was a relief.

"I hope the kids are OK being home alone." Mr. Cake said to his wife, who gave him a pat on the back, as long as they got what they came for, it would be worth it.

"It's almost showtime, brace yourselves!"

Inside the theater, the employees scattered about, doing this and that to get ready for the impending swarm of fans that gathered here today.

Among these employees was the "great and powerful Trixie", she would work at the theater on weekends when she wasn't touring or working at the school of friendship.

She was walking around the theater, making sure that everything was in order before the show began, all the awhile singing to herself.

Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Raines was the invisible man

Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace it came from outerspace
And this is how the message ran

She shot one last look at the theater, knowing that a huge mess would befall the place. Everything seemed to be perfect.

Science Fiction, double-feature
Dr X will build a creature
See Androids fighting Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, at the late night
Double Feature, Picture Show

Near the second verse, the doors opened, and the lobby was immediately swamped with eager fans, some bought food and drinks, while others pushed and shoved their way into the theater trying to get the best seats for the show.

Thankfully, Trixie didn't get caught in the sea of fans. Thanks to her magic, she was able to levitate herself above the crowd.

I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Jeanette Scott
Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills

Dana Andrews said prunes give him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
And when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride
I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills

She proceeded to float all the way to a door that read "EMPLOYEES ONLY", and walked in, for that was her job, projecting the movie of the week, or this case midnight, to the audience.

She locked the door behind her, and proceeded to make her way to the projection booth.

I wanna go, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To the late night Double Feature Picture Show

When she reached the booth, she looked through the reels that were lined up on a shelf.

By R.K.O., oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To the late night Double Feature Picture Show

She found the reel she was looking for, and proceeded to set everything up perfectly, it had to be if the show was to be for the audience's liking.

When she finished, Trixie looked out at the crowd to make sure evey creature was seated before she could start the film, sure enough they were chatting amongst themselves. She looked at her watch, it was going to be midnight in 5... 4... 3... 2...

The sound of a grandfather clock tolling resounded throughout the theater, and every creature immediately went silent.

The crowd roared and cheered in excitement as the title came up.

"I always thought he only does adult films in the underworld." Said a pony named Rob, "I guess I was wrong."

"I believe her sister starred in a stage production of this show." Fleur de lis said. Thats right, even the upper class ponies enjoy the show.

"I told my son to do something other than sitting around all day playing video games." Button's mom said, "I didn't think he'd do this."

"I've actually seen him and his family on T.V, it's really crazy." Sandbar said to his friends.
