//------------------------------// // The Light At The Frankenstein Place // Story: The Rocky Horror Pony Show // by Fonzie //------------------------------// Button Mash and Sweetie Belle sat in their car. Shining drove as Cadence read the newspaper and the radio played softly in the background as Princess Celestia delivered a speech. Rain was falling heavily and the wipers had to be on maximum for Button to be able to see clearly. Suddenly a loud roar was heard and a motorcycle sped past. “Gosh, that’s the third motorcycle we’ve seen tonight! Some must really like to take their lives into their hands what with the weather.” Sweetie Belle exclaimed. “Yes, life’s pretty cheap for that type.” Button said cynically. Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, before noticing that the car was slowing down, “What’s wrong?” She asked. “We must have taken a wrong turning at some point.” He replied, gesturing towards the dead end sign in-front of the car. “Well where did that motorcycle come from then?” Sweetie Belle. Button shrugged in response. “Hm, well I guess we’ll just have to turn back.” He said, shifting the carriage into reverse. The carriage moved back a few feet before a loud, ear piercing bang was heard. Sweetie Belle jumped in shock as Button moved a fore hoof in front of her protectively. "What was that bang?!” she exclaimed. “Must have broken a spoke.” Button reasoned. He hit the steering wheel. “Damn it I knew I should have gotten that spare wheel fixed.” He turned to get out. “You just stay here in the warm and I’ll go look for some help.” He told her. “Where will you go in the middle of no-where?” Sweetie Belle asked. Button pondered for a minuet sticking his tongue out in thought. “Didn’t we pass a castle a few miles back?” he asked rhetorically. Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to respond before Button spoke. “Maybe they have a telephone we could use!” Sweetie Belle moved to get out. “I’m coming with you.” She said firmly. Button put a forehoof on her shoulder. “Oh come on now, there’s no sense in both of us getting wet.” He reasoned. “I’m coming with you!” she demanded again. Button sighed in defeat powering down the car “Besides, the owner of that building may be a beautiful woman and you may never come back to me again.” she said jokingly. Button laughed in response as they got out, Sweetie Belle levitating the newspaper over her head as they left. As they walked off Button kicked the broken wheel with a hoof. Thunder cracked across the sky. As they approached the castle, the pair was met with a tall spiked iron gate. On it was a white sign with the words ‘Enter at your own risk!!’ painted on it. The two looked at each other, shrugging as they squeezed through the gate. In the velvet darkness Of the blackest night Burning bright There's a guiding star No matter what Or who you are The two continued walking down the path, until they finally saw the very building they were looking for. There's a light Over at the Frankenstein Place There's a light Burning in the fireplace There's a light, light In the darkness of everybody's life The couple approached the castle, praying to Celestia that they have a telephone inside. And if not, they could seek shelter from the storm. Unbeknownst to them, in the room where the light was coming from, there was a male dalmatian watching them with intent. The darkness must go Down the river Of nights dreaming Flow Morphia slow Let the sun and light comes streaming Into my life, into my life Seeing the two ponies approach the front door the dalmatian walked out of the room to perform his usual duty. There's a light Over at the Frankenstein Place There's a light Burning in the fireplace There's a light, a light In the darkness of everybody's life Shining Armour was now in a room with maps, with the one he was currently looking at marking where the carriage broke down, where the castle was and where Dr. Whooves and Derpy lived. “It seemed that fortune had smiled on Button Mash and Sweetie Belle that they had found the assistance that their plight required… or had they?”
