The pulse started slowly. 

Upon a confirming glance to Elusive, Bubble Berry donned his fabulous Wondercolt ears and set things in motion. The dull sound of a cafeteria tray echoed across the room. Elusive joined in, neatly tapping his purple boots. He threw a grin to Butterscotch who was hesitantly knocking his drinking glasses together to the beat, avoiding the glance of the concerned eco-kid sat at his side. Across the room, Applejack clapped to the beat, desperately covering his hat over his Wondercolt ears and acknowledged Scootaroll and Apple Buck. Gasps were heard over at the athlete’s table as Rainbow Blitz, the most confident boy in school, casually tapped along to the echoed tune. Spike flicked the iPod on and music surrounded the unknowing students and five familiar faces popped up.

“Hey Hey everybody! We’ve got something to say, we may seem as different as the night is from day” harmonized the five males as they strolled past the tables and gathered in the centre.
“But you look a little deeper and you will see that I’m just like you and you’re just like me, yeah!”

Gaping mouths of the viewers fell as the quintet posed then galloped back down in pairs, singing

“Hey, hey everybody! We’re here to shout that the magic of friendship is what it’s all about” tails streamed and Elusive flirted past a cute fashionista.

“Yeah we thought we were as different as the night is from the day…” points and shimmies flew across the room “…until Twilight Sparkle helped us to see another way” and BAM, Vinyl Scratch takes his glasses off in surprise to reveal dazzling pink irises.

“So get up! Get down! If you’re going to come around. We can work together helping Twilight win the crown.” A crash as Blitz fell over a chair “So get up! Get down! ‘Coz it’s going to make a sound if we work together helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown!”

And now it’s Bubble’s time to shine! Pushing away the screen he chimed “Hey! Hey! Hands up NOW! We’re sending a message to the crowd!” and targeted an unfortunate colt to blast at before pulling up the arms of a shocked female athlete. “Hands wave up! Then come down! We’ll party together ALL around!” 

Elusive grinned at his hyper buddy before launching into his own tune. “Generous, honesty.” Applejack joined in “laughter, kindness, loyalty!” Butterscotch: “Twilight helped us each to see,” and finally Rainbow Blitz jumped onto the table, calling “all that we could be!” Before a re-used scene was implemented “So get up! Get down! If you’re going to come around, we can work together helping Twilight win the crown” as they quite literally sweep the crowds off their chairs. “So get up! Get down! ‘Coz it’s going to make a sound if we work together helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown!” and at that, Bubble and Elusive swung the doors open and out stepped…

Twilight woke up from her bed in the tree library and angrily got out of bed.
