//------------------------------// // Preparing for the Festival and 'We Got This Together!' // Story: LittleBigPony: A Big Movie! // by ShaggyBoi23 //------------------------------// YES!” Outside, a flash of rainbow zooms through a cloud and making it vanish. Turns out the rainbow flash is clearing the clouds and reveals Rainbow Dash one of Twilight's friends. Also, she's a high-speed flying stunt devil and a Wonderbolt. Along with her dashing through was Swoop, the third hero of the trio of Bunkum’s heroes who's a bird. “Sky's cleared and ready for the Festival!” She said, She then flies off with Swoop following her. Down below on the stage where Songbird Serenade will play. Another one of Twilight's friends Pinkie Pie, a hyper-fun-loving party pony, is blowing up a balloon animal with Toggle (Big and Small), another of Bunkum’s heroes who are helping the Party Pony with the Balloon. And shapes into Discord, one of their friends, but then the balloon started to deflate possibly because it wasn't tied well enough, with Small Toggle holding on as he's pretty light, unlike Big Toggle who’s big and heavy. Meanwhile, Fluttershy was conducting birds for music, and one wasn't a bird it was her pet rabbit Angel in a bird costume and he wasn't pleased with wearing it, with the Collector, who isn’t pleased with the Bird costume just sitting there for the convince, and the Bears from The Wilderness who are happy. Then the balloon with Small Toggle holding on to the balloon zooms by and Pinkie with Big Toggle chases after it and the birds fly away and bump into Fluttershy's head. “Heads up, Fluttershy!” Pinkie shouted. “Out of control balloooooon!” “Hoo. I don't think it's the balloon that's out of control, Pinkie Pie.” She said while calming the bird down. “Hey, y'all!” Applejack said, arriving and pulling a cart of Apple Cider. Then Pinkie holding on to the balloon zooms with Small Toggle over Applejack as she ducks her head and crashes into a booth. Hey, y'all!” Applejack said, arriving and pulling a cart of Apple Cider. Then Pinkie holding on to the balloon zooms with Small Toggle over Applejack as she ducks her head and crashes into a booth. "Anypony up for some free samples of my family's Apple Cider?" She asked. Having a loving taste of their cider sparks up Rainbow's and Swoop’s interest. She zooms by grabbing the cup and drinks it. And puts it back on Applejack's hoof. Swoop on the other hand Lansdowne and Applejack give him a cup for him to drink while Big Toggle came for a drink instead of helping his Small counterpart. “Thank you! Love it!” Applejack looks at the cups and remembers it being full of cider. Over the edge of the stage, Rarity was setting ribbons with diamonds with Pinky Buflooms, helping her with the design process on the Ribbons and Diamonds, despite her little tempers that she lashed out back when Newton stored the heart. Dnd was carefully placing the jewel oh while humming. “Wow Rarity and Pinky.” Applejack said. “It's a fine job you're doin' there. 'Course it might not get done til after the concert.” Applejack does seem to a point there, at the pace she's going it could be almost dark when she's on the last one. “Applejack, darling, anypony can do fine.” Rarity said. Twilight asked me, so clearly she's going for fabulous, and fabulous takes time. And Pinky here is giving me tips on how to do it perfectly.” “Aww… how nice of you Rarity.” Pinky Buflooms said, “Our voices may not sound the same, but you have so much talent in designing fashion.” “Fabulous takes forever!” Rainbow said, rolling her eyes annoyed. “But awesome…” She quickly zooms the entire stage hanging a ribbon and finishes in seconds, even zooms by Fluttershy making her spin and wrapped up in a ribbon and when she stops spinning her eyes are still spinning around. Big Toggle came in and unwrapped the ribbon that was on Fluttershy. “Can get down in four seconds flat!” She finished. “Faster if I do my sonic rainboom!” She gets ready to fly off, but Rarity and Pinky Buflooms quickly stopped her. “Aah! Nono, oh no! Don't you dare Rainbow Dash!” She said upset. “It looks wretched enough already.” “Even though the ribbons were hanging, they were messed up.” “Oh come on, it's fine!” Rainbow said, rolling her eyes. If you were raised in a barn or raised in a cold spiritual temple of a winter wonderland” Rarity said then remember something. “Ahem, no offense, Applejack and Toggle”. None taken.” Applejack said and filled and refilled a cup of cider each time Rainbow zoomed by like a comet. Big Toggle shrugged from what Rarity had said, but was still drinking Applejack’s Cider. “Especially since I wasn't raised in a barn. My family just happens to have a barn. Where I was born. And... spent most of my formative years…” “Raised in a barn!” Rainbow said quickly, with Swoop agreeing. Then Twilight, Spike, Sackboy, Oddsock, and Newton arrived, and Twilight was going over a checklist. “Okay, just 218 things left to do and we're ready.” She said. “Hey, Twilight!” Rainbow, AJ, Fluttershy said. “Hello, Spike.” Rarity said. Uh, hi, Rarity. Spike said blushing. “Hey, Sackboy!” Clive, Eve, Victoria, and Otis said, arriving to meet the gang and seeing Sackboy waving at his friends. “Hiya, Oddsock!” Pinkie explained, as she tackled Oddsock and hugged him. “How'd it go with the other princesses? Applejack asked. “They like your idea?” “And did Da Vinci and Avalon like how it planned out?” Clive asked. “I bet they loved it!” Pinkie shouted while chasing the balloon after giving a quick hug to Oddsock. Twilight signed and lowers her list and said. “Not exactly. They think I can make today perfect without their magic. Sackboy has been telling me it would work well…” “And they are absolutely right, darling.” Rarity said, fixing a ribbon with Pinky finding the right gems. “This festival is your brilliant idea and we know you're up to the task.” “Yeah, my employees are bringing in the effects crew on the setup and working on the screening for Marlon’s camera crew.” Clive added. “But what if I'm not?!” Twilight asks and panics again. “What if Songbird Serenade hates the stage?! Or nopony makes a new friend?! And if I fail at the festival, then who am I?!” “Aw… don’t worry Twilight.” Victoria said, holding a cake with the Sackbots assisting, “I’m sure Sunbird will like the stage once Pinkie and Rarity are on the finishing touches.” “Twilight, look at me!” Pinkie said firmly and brought it into her face. “This will be the biggest celebration Equestria has ever seen! As the Princess of Friendship, you cannot fail! This day will define who you are! the pressure is intense! It's almost too much for any single pony to handle!” She then screams, catching the attention of a few ponies and sacklings. Newton pushed Pinkie an inch away since he doesn’t want an awkwardness from the audience. “Calm down, Pinkie.” Newton said, “Everything for this party could work out. Even Chum knows the festival would be the best for the Imagisphere.” “But you have us! So stop worrying.” She finished. Then the ribbon on Fluttershy lowers and falls off her. Rarity fixes a jewel, and a balloon pops. And Rainbow lightly burps while Big Toggle has a big burp, causing Rarity to cringe with nastiness. “Don’t worry Twi!” Otis exclaimed, “Everyone is doing this together! Even Sackboy and fellow Friends!” Twilight smiled nervously. Then Applejack and Sackboy help her up It's time to show'em what you've got Rarity fixes Twilight's crown. It's time to go and get things done But you don't have to do it on your own Pinkie then pulls them for a group hug. Cause you've got friends right here to make it fun We got this, you got this We got this together Then Rainbow Dash takes off dragging Twilight and Spike with her while Sackboy gets a Jetpack to fly with Swoop. Sometimes the pressure gets you down And the clouds are dark and gray Just kick them off and let the sunshine through Twilight and Sackboy fly next to Rainbow and Swoop as she flies through a cloud making a hole in it and a beam of sunlight shines through. And scary as it seems, more help is on the way Cause friends to have friends that wanna help out, too Then the Wonderbolts team and Swoop Stunts arrive and clear the entire sky in seconds. We got this, you got this We got this together Then she pulls Twilight and Spike down the festival while Sackboy and Swoop land down, and Twilight waves hi to Zecora with Sackboy waves at Grandmaster Sensi and Mags. And Bulk Biceps wins a hoofbuck competition with Uncle Jalapeno doing a hotdog eating contest. Twilight and Sackboy fly and meet with Photo Finish who then took a picture with Sackgirl offering autographs. She and Sackboy then pass and high-five Vinyl Scratch and Sean Brown. It's the Festival of Friendship And we can get it done A festival that they won't forget A party to be proud of A day of games and fun Just you wait and see A magic day in perfect harmony Twilight then heads over to a petting zoo with Fluttershy, Treehugger, The Great Magician, The Collector, Oddsock, and Eve. You got this The bird then whistles a similar tune, then Fluttershy's bear friend Beary gives her, Twilight, Spike, Sackboy, Oddsock, and Angel and big bear hug. We got this together Then they went over to Applejack and her family getting the food ready, and Applejack pats Spike on the back but causes him to burn the list with his fire breath. With friends and family, you are never alone If you need help, we've got your back You can be honest, let your problems be known Twilight taste tests a drink but then adds more sugar while Sackboy drinks it since he got thirsty. Cause you got us to pick up the slack We got this Eeyup We got this together Then Twilight checks back on the stage with Rarity, Sassy Saddles, Pinky Buflooms, Marianne Noisette, and Coco Pommel. Pay attention to the details Every gem even-spaced Make the colors perfect Takin' one or two to taste Unknowingly to them Spike takes a gem and eats it and Small Toggle gave the dragon a scolding. Rarity also gives him a basket of gems to keep him occupied. No one should argue during this festival. Inside and out, beautiful throughout Generosity is what we're all about You got this You got this We got this together Twilight and Sackboy then fly up and hangs the final piece of the stage, and then fly off and look upon the whole festival. Today needs to be perfect, it all comes down to me I don't know if I'm ready for all the things they need me to be I am the Princess of Friendship Twilight and Sackboy then fly overhead the ponies and the sacklings and over a lake. But that is more than just a crown She then flies under a bridge skimming the water and on the bridge were 3 of her Canterlot friends. Moon Dancer, Minuette, and Twinkleshine. And Sackboy’s Friends from his previous adventures. The King, Dr. Herbert Higginbotham, Don Doubtworthy, Colonel Flounder, Papal Mache, and Mrs. Sunshine. It's a promise to bring ponies together And never let anypony down Then she flies up high in the air. Meanwhile, Pinkie was on a giant cake mixer baking a giant cake with Victoria helping out with her Sackbots, with Big Toggle pushing heavy crates for resources while Small Toggle gather all the small details. We got an awful lot to bake Each pony needs a piece of cake Then Pinkie saw Trixie performing a firework show with her best friend and Twilight's graduate student Starlight Glimmer with Venus the Flytrap showing her Plant creations and Capt. Sirius Oculus doing dance moves in front of the audience. Oh, wait! There's something better we can do We're gonna need some more supplies To make a really big surprise Pinkie then pulls a cart and meets with Cheese Sandwich, Otis, and The Queen at some party supplies. She'll be so shocked- she sure to love it, too! Pinkie quickly puts it together and hugs her toothless pet Alligator named Gummy who hints at his name for not having teeth. You got this! We got this together! High above the Wonderbolts and the Swoop Stunts are clearing the last of the clouds. It's the Festival of Friendship Together we are one A day we will never forget And now everything is ready So when the day is done. The weather The Banquet The style The music All will be in perfect harmony! Unaware to Twilight a giant party cannon was behind her, and it was angled up.  Then the cannon fires a giant 5-layered cake high into the air with Big Toggle as well. The ponies and Curators look up and saw it. Sackboy noticed and managed to dodge quickly, but Twilight realized it was right above her. And the cake lands on her before she had the time to react and get out of the way. Then Big Toggle crashes through, causing an explosion of cake splashed everywhere, frostings and cream splatted on the Ponies’ mane and coat and Twilight pokes her head out of the cake. And realize who was responsible for this, and glance back.  “Pinkie!” She said.  Then a lit candle lands on her horn.  “Oopsie!” Pinkie said hanging out of the cannon's barrel. “Guess my easy bake confetti cake cannon needs a little more fine-tuning, am I right Big Toggle!” Twilight snorted and blow the candle out with Big Toggle, The Collector, Otis, Clive, and Newton laughed at Big Toggle’s impression on the cake practice, blasted from the big Party cannon.
