//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Friendship Festival // Story: My Little Pony: The New Rewrite Movie // by Arkogon //------------------------------// You already know who I am so let's get this started. Everything starts with the beginning of the film, ponies singing around Equestria, and Spike was in a hurry. Pretty sure, you already know the rest. But this is different, thanks to my new script. Now, let's start with Twilight. *Sighs* Even though I wish not to talk about her, but I have to. It's in the script I wrote. "Twilight, anything we needed for the Festival?" Spike asked as he taking a breathe, but noticed her not smiling. "Twilight, what's wrong? Is it a festival? Did we do something wrong? Did I do something wrong?" "No, it's not that, Spike." She answered. "It's something." "Wait," As he understand what's wrong. "Is it that...." "Mmhm..." As she nodded. "I still haven't told him." "You haven't told Flash about it." When he realized she haven't told Flash "That's the problem." She turns to him worried. "I haven't told him yet. I wish I could but it's so hard. When I'm about to tell him, he just smiles to see me, and I just stand there petrified of what to say." "Twilight, come on." He courage her. "You can tell him. You're the Princess of Friendship, you have the hooves to tell. Since you two got married like a moons ago, your friends were happy you have a coltfriend. Even Cadence was happy when she found out you were gazing upon him. And Shining Armor appreciates Flash to protect you as your royal guard. I'm sure he will be happy when you tell him. But right now, the festival we need to plan." She thinks about it as she enters the throne room and meets with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadance, asking that they reposition the sun and moon for the concert performance of pony pop star Songbird Serenade. However, the princesses tell Twilight that each of their magic serves a purpose and that, as the Princess of Friendship, she already has all the magic she needs to make the festival a success. Pretty sure, we already know the rest because this is the most boring conversation that I ever watch. Trust me, all they did is talk, talk, talk, and blah, blah, blah, about friendships. But cross that out, it's not in the script. Now meanwhile, the rest of the Mane Six set up the festival's main stage area: Rainbow Dash clears the weather, Pinkie Pie makes balloon animals, Fluttershy rehearses with her chorus of songbirds, Applejack hands out apple cider, and Rarity decorates the stage. "Whoa! Heads up, Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie cried. "Out of control balloooooon!!" "Hoo." Fluttershy sees. "I don't think it's the balloon that's out of control, Pinkie Pie!" "Hey, y'all!" Applejack appears with cider. "Anypony up for some free samples of my family's apple cider?"And Rainbow Dash swoops in and take one. "Ah! Thank you!" She takes a sip. "Loved it!" And Rarity was humming while decorating with shiny diamonds. "Wow, Rarity." Applejack said. "It's a fine job you're doin' there. 'Course it might not get done 'til after the concert." "Applejack, darling, anypony can do "fine." She said. "Twilight asked me, so clearly, she's going for fabulous, and fabulous takes time." "Fabulous takes forever! But "awesome"..." As Rainbow Dash flies past Fluttershy. "...can get done in four seconds flat! Faster if I do my sonic rainboom!" "Aah! Nono, oh no! Don't you dare, Rainbow Dash!" Rarity told her. "It looks wretched enough already." "Oh come on, it's fine!" She disagreed. "If you were raised in a barn!" She said not wanting to hurt Applejack's feeling. "Ahem, no offense, Applejack." "None taken." Applejack accept. "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!" She finished her sentence. As they were talking, Twilight and Spike appeared as she was nervous for the festival. "Okay, just two hundred and eighteen things left to do and we're ready." Then her friends sees her. "Hey, Twilight!" "Hello, Spike." Rarity said with a charming. And Spike chuckled. "Uh, hi, Rarity. Heh heh." "How'd it go with the other Princesses?" Applejack asked. "They like your idea?" "I bet they loved it!" Pinkie's agreed. Twilight sighed and answered. "Not exactly. They think I can make today perfect without their magic." "And they are absolutely right, darling." Rarity said, agreed. "This festival is your brilliant idea and we know you're up to the task!" "But what if I'm not?!" As she becoming worried. "What if Songbird Serenade hates the stage?! Or nopony makes a new friend?! And if I fail at the festival, then who am I?!" "Twilight, look at me!" Bringing her face up close. "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! But you have us! So stop worrying." Her friends then have the utmost confidence in her, leading into the song "We Got This Together." But I'm not gonna write the whole lyrics because you already know the song. Just go to YouTube and enter their song. If you really wanted to hear the song. At the end of the song, Pinkie Pie accidentally fires a multi-layered cake from her party cannon that lands on Twilight and makes a mess. "Oopsie!" Seeing her cover in cake layers. "Guess my easy bake confetti cake cannon needs a little bit more fine tuning!" And when she emerges, somepony is there. Can't believe I have to use it instead of "someone." "Twilight?" A pony asked who was wearing his golden armor. When she look up and see it was Flash Sentry. "Flash...." As she cleans herself from cake's frosting. "You're here..." "Yeah, what would I be? Missing the Friendship Festival with my wife?" "Oh, yeah...." As she was blushing and then thinking about the secret she's holding. "Flash, I need to tell you something." "Really, what is it?" He asked, what she had to say. Twilight started to get nervous as Spike gave her a thumbs up. Her friends then watched what she was about to say. But that cut short when somepony called. "Excuse me." They all turned to a pair of ponies in black suits and shades, walking on either side of a mare. As they did, a civilian pony gasped. "Hiya..." Songbird smiled at the group. "I'm lookin' for the pony in charge." As she said that, Photo Finish suddenly appeared and started taking pictures as the song-pony posed. "I need to set up for my sound check." "Ms. Songbird Serenade?" She ran up, looking a little flustered. "Um, I was just going to check on you." She let out a series of nervous laughs. "I'm Princess Twilight, and sorry about the mess." She started rubbing her leg, unaware she was covering her hoof in the one bit of cake batter. "I'm usually not so-" She stopped when she waved her hoof around and accidentally fired the cake batter and Songbird, hitting her jacket and causing the ponies around them to gasp. "Caked in cake?" She asked, clearly not upset by the stains of her clothes. This made Twilight letting out another nervous laugh as one of Songbird's bodyguards used his radio and clean the stain. While cleaning, Flash asks Twilight what she was going to say. "So Twilight, what were you wanting to tell me?" "Oh, it's... uhh...." As she became nervous to tell him and then said, "I was wondering if you could help with the royal guards. Even though my brother did put you in charge." Flash agreed to help, all of a sudden, a loud horn alerted the Canterlot. A large, ominous ship emerges from the sky. "Shipment?" She exclaimed. "I didn't order any shipment." "Oh!" Pinkie's cheered. "I bet those are the clowns I ordered!" But as it got closer, it was revealed to be a large ship shaped like a shark. "...Or definitely not the clowns I ordered."
