//------------------------------// // The Ink & Paint Club // Story: My Little Pony: Film is Magic (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) // by MLPstories101 //------------------------------// -Outside Alleyway- Meanwhile, our heroes were walking in an alleyway that was apparently the way to The Ink & Paint club. The girls felt a sense of dread walking down the alley while Eddie just looked neutral. Twilight was still reminiscing about Rainbow Dash. She missed her a lot, so much so she began to silently cry. Eddie heard and tried to calm her down. "Still reminiscing about Rainbow Dash?" Eddie said to Twilight. She perked her head up and looked at Eddie. She just simply nodded. "Well, it's not easy losing someone you care about. At least you got 4 other friends who care about you. And, well, me too. I may not like cartoons anymore but you all are a pretty nice group." Eddie said. Everyone simply smiled. Twilight felt a little better. "Hey, even tho she might not be here right now, she's still with you, in your heart." Eddie then planted a hand on Twilight's chest. She smiled and hugged him. "As much as I loves this heartwarming scene, we should really be getting to the Ink & Paint Club." Pinkie Pie said. "Oh yeah, we can talk about her more later." The girls and Eddie then went on to the entrance. When Eddie knocked, a pair of eyes was peeping through the slot in the door. "Got the password?" The man said behind the door. "Walt sent me." Eddie said. The man behind the door closed the slot and opened the door. When they got through the door however, the turned to see the man, when they realized, it wasn't a man at all. it was a monkey! "Nice monkey suit." Eddie said sarcastically. The monkey responded with a "Wise-ass". Twilight then got so mad inside, she wanted to smack him. But she retracted. They then walked down the hallway towards a door. They opened it and they were greeted with a bar of people. Hungarian Rhaspody was also playing on the piano by two ducks who were in a piano competition. Eddie looked around and so did the rest of the group. They were in sheer awe at the place. Eddie just looked at a penguin waiter holding a tray. "Hey look at that." A man said pointing towards the ducks. "Hey, Cut it out." The white duck said. (I'M NOT RACIST, DON'T SAY I AM!!!!) "Anyone understand what this duck is saying?" The black one said. Eddie then smirked at them. The girls then go their seats and sat down. Eddie joining in too. "I worked with a lot of wise-quackers, but you are despicable." The black duck said. The white one heard and got mad. "Doggone, stubborn, nitwit, THAT DID IT!!" The white one said while quacking angrily. The girls were trying their best to not laugh at the scene. "This is the last time I work with somebody with a speech impediment!" "OH YEAH?!?!" The white one then grabbed the black one and shoved him into the piano and closed it vigorously. The girls and everyone else in the bar winced at the site. "This means war." The black duck said. Eddie then took his seat but not before a man squirted ink on his shirt. The man simply laughed. "What do you think that's funny?" Eddie said angrily. "It's a panic!" The man said all happy go-lucky. Eddie then grabbed him by his shirt. "You won't think it's funny when I shove that pen up your nose!" "Now, calm down son, will ya? Look! The ink's gone, it's disappearing ink!" The man said. Pinkie got the joke and laughed. "OH I GET IT!! Disappearing ink! I used that on Twilight when I pranked her with Rainbow Das-" Pinkie then covered her mouth when she mentioned Rainbow Dash. Twilight, of course, heard the name and placed her face in her hands, and silently cried again. "Dag-nabbit Pinkie, stop mentioning Rainbow Dash, it's only gonna make her cry." Applejack said to Pinkie. "What's wrong with her, son?" The man said. "Lost a dear friend of hers, laughed herself to death." Eddie said. "Anyway, no hard feelings for the ink prank I suppose. Look, I-" The man said before getting interrupted by Eddie. "I know who you are. Marvin Acme, the guy that owns ToonTown, the gag king." Eddie said. "If it's Acme, it's a gasser.' Put her there, pal!" Acme then grabbed Eddie's hand and put it against his other one. The girls thought it was a handshake but quickly retracted their thoughts when Eddie shook violently. “The hand buzzer! Still my best seller!” Acme said. A penguin came up to Eddie and the girls. "Scotch on the rocks.." Eddie said. The penguin was about to take the other girl's orders but not before Eddie shouted back to the penguin. "AND I MEAN ICE!!!!!" Eddie yelled. Twilight got confused by the statement. "What was the part about "'And I mean ice'"?" Twilight asked. "I briefly forgot how literal minded toons tend to get." Eddie said. The girls then placed their orders too. "Well, I'll have a tea with a cream and two sugars." Twilight ordered. "And I'll have an Apple Cider" Applejack ordered. "Chocolate milkshake for me." Pinkie ordered. "Tea for me as well. Cream but no sugar." Fluttershy ordered. "Hot chocolate, but no marshmallows. I get enough "Marshmallow" jokes as it is." Rarity ordered. Eddie got confused by the statement and decided to ask her about it. "The hell do you mean by "I get enough "marshmallow jokes as it is"?" Eddie asked. "Well, Eddie. Take a look at what color I am." Rarity said. Eddie looked closely before finally getting the joke. He gave a good chuckle from that. "Don't laugh at that, Eddie, she gets sensitive about that." Twilight said. "Well sorry." Eddie said. More shenanigans ensue with Donald and Daffy like them throwing each other into their own pianos, trying to fight each other, you name it. Then Donald shot a cannon ball at Daffy. Everyone in the bar got shocked from that, the girls respectively. Even Eddie couldn't help but jump. Everyone in the bar laughed at that while the girls just looked like they witnessed a murder. Two pull craned came up on the duo and swooshed them away. "Well, that was uncalled for..." Rarity said. Everyone nodded in agreement while Fluttershy looked like she was about to cry. "hey, those ducks are funny! They never got to finish the act!!!" Acme told Eddie and the girls, then laughed about it. Fluttershy couldn't believe her ears though. "Funny?! You call getting shot with a cannon and getting pushed into a piano funny!??!" Fluttershy scolded. Acme then stopped laughing when hhe saw the anger in her eyes. "Hey, woah calm down, will ya? They're just cartoons. They'll be fine." Acme said before sitting down again. "Great.." Eddie said. The penguin waiter came up and gave the girls and Eddie their orders. The girls got their orders right while Eddie just looked in disappointment. He then sighed. Another voice could be heard. "Cigars, Cigarettes? Eddie Valiant!" The voice said. Eddie turned around and noticed a familiar black and white face. "Betty?" Eddie said. "Long time no see! I see you made some new friends too!" Betty said. "Ah yes, Betty, this here's Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy! Girls, meet Betty Boop!" Eddie introduced. The girls took a rather liking to Betty really quickly. "Well hi there, Betty. nice to see some of Eddie's old friends!" Twilight said. "Always nice meeting someone new 'ere!" Applejack said. Pinkie Pie was the most confused by her appearance though. "Hey Betty, why are you Black and White unlike the rest of us?" Pinkie asked. "Well Ms. Pie, works been kinda slow since cartoons went to color.. But I still got it! Boop be bedoop *noise*" Betty presented. The girls were immediately charmed by her performance, Pinkie Pie especially. "Oh what a charming little gesture!" Rarity said. "Yeah, you still got it!" Eddie said. Applause can be heard and from Acme himself. Everyone then went up to the runway while the girls were confused. "What's going on? Fluttershy said. "It's always a good time when Jessica come on stage!" Acme told her. That got Twilight's reaction almost immediately. "Jessica? Isn't that who Maroon told us to follow and get pictures on?" Twilight asked. Eddie just gave a shrug. "Well let's hope we're met with something at least a little salvageable." Rarity said. "Got a thing for rabbits huh?" Eddie said. They then watched as Jessica showed herself to the crowd. Everyone was whistling and cheering. The girls were almost completely speechless with her appearance. Then 3 ducks playing instruments can be seen when the curtains pull back. "That's who Roger is married to? How is she not a fashion model yet?" Rarity said. "How should I know? Maybe they weren't hiring fashion models yet." Twilight asked. Jessica then kept singing, staying at the stage. Eddie was the most shocked with her appearance as he couldn't keep his eyes off her. He then leaned up to Betty while Jessica kept singing and being seductive. That wasn't until Jessica put her heel up to a man and pushed him with it causing him to fall. "She's married to Roger Rabbit?" Eddie asked, still shocked with the reveal.
