Sweetie And The Dragon

by Darth Redbeard


Getting the Movie Together

        “Quiet on the set!” the director yelled. All around him, the cast was running around, trying to get everything set up for their new movie.

        “Mr. Redbeard, why do I have to be the villain?” a young colt asked. The director turned to him.

        “Because the villain has one of the cooler parts. You did pretty well during your audition, that we agreed to have you be the villain. Is there a problem with it?” Redbeard asked him.

        “No, sir,” Button replied. “I was just wondering.”

        “There is nothing wrong with wondering Button. Ask when you have questions. Also, I think Babs wants to talk to you.” Redbeard told him. Button soon walked away, just as Redbeard heard his name being called.

        “DARTH!” rather more liked yelled. He tried to run away, but was caught by his tail with Luna’s magic. He soon found himself hanging upside down, in front of her.

        “Heh, heh, hi, Luna. What seems to be the problem?” he asked. Luna’s face was not a pleasant one today. Darth began to get nervous as she grew more angry, worried she might banish him to the moon.

        “Look at this!” she yelled, shoving the script in front of him.

        “You do know I can’t read upside down,” he told her. Redbeard soon found himself being released and falling head first on the floor. “Ouch. Did you really have to do that, Luna?” Redbeard asks, as he rubs his head.

        “Yes. Now tell me why I am a bookseller!” ordered Luna.

        “Would you rather be one of those three over there?” Redbeard asks, as he points a hoof over to where Diamond Tiara and two other fillies are sitting. Luna shuddered at the part those three were playing. Luna turned to Redbeard.

        “I guess I see your point, but really, a bookseller. My sister gets a better part than I do! Not fair!” Darth just took a deep breath.

        “She also has to play the part of the old beggar at the same time. You want that part?” Luna just shook her head.

        “No, I will stick with my part. But I better get a much greater part in the next story.” Luna’s horn glows, signaling that there would be consequences if it does not happen.

        “Yes, Luna.” Darth says. He turns around, looking for his two main stars. “Has anypony seen Sweetie Belle or Spike?”

        “Sweetie Belle is helping to make sure Spike can still transform into a dragon,” Twilight answered. “Ever since we had him as a pony for The Pony King, he never wanted to change back.”

        “Would you blame him? Now he can be with Sweetie Belle without all the gossip and everything from everypony,” Flash told her. “He deserves to find happiness, especially after what he went through for a few years.” Darth was confused.

        “What happened?” he asked.

        “Diamond and a few others called him and Sweetie Belle freaks. They even insulted Spike for being someplace he didn’t even belong in.” explained Twilight.

        “I can’t blame him for wanting to be a pony after going through that.” Darth muttered.

        “I know, it’s just, I miss him being a dragon at times.” Twilight began to cry as she said this.

        “Mom, you don’t have to worry,” Twilight turned as she heard Spike’s voice. “I’ll still be the dragon you raised, I just wanted to be a pony. Never expected to be an Alicorn though.” Sweetie Belle nodded her head.

        “A very handsome Alicorn at that,” she told him. Spike’s face began to turn red from the compliment. Sweetie Belle just giggled and kissed him on the cheek. Darth, Luna, Twilight, and Flash just laughed.

        “Alright everypony, we need to get ready. Spike, can you still transform into a dragon?” asked Redbeard.

        “I’m having trouble doing that. I need more magic to help, and Sweetie Belle can’t help me all the time.” Spike told him.

        “I’ll have Celestia take care of it for you. Did you get the rose we needed, Luna?” Redbeard asked.

        “I got it. I gave it to Celestia. Maybe she can make a spell that would make it like the movie itself.”

        “Let’s hope. Alright everypony, PLACES! Rainbow Dash and Soarin, get out of the janitors closet right now! Applejack, I need you to get back here to help your sister with the lights! Mr. Cake, make sure you have that bakery set up! Derpy and Time Turner, security now! I need Spike, Celestia, and all the castle staff on stage!” Button turned to Babs.

        “I’ll see you soon, dear.” Button told his fillyfriend.

        “Good luck, and break a leg.” she replied as she kissed him.

        “Guests, I would like to remind you all, no cell phones while this is going on, and no rude language and all that. This is rated everyone.” Darth explained.

        “Alright.” replied the Audience. Redbeard turned to the crew.

        “Lights,” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo turned on the lights.

        “Camera!” yelled Darth.

        “Camera’s rolling!” replied Braeburn and Caramel.

        “Hope Shield, can you bring me a cup of coffee and some donuts. I have a feeling, this is going to be a long day.” Redbeard told his assistant.

        “Right away, sir.” Hope replied.

        “Sweetie Belle, no killing anypony for looking at Spike this time, please?” Rarity told her sister as she got onto the stage.

        “I’ll try not to, Rarity.” she replied as she went back to where the remaining cast was, waiting for her part.

        “Shining Armor, get ready! These are your lines coming up!” Luna yelled.

        “Coming!” Shining replied as he ran onto the stage.
        
        “Celestia, you need to cast the spell on the rose. Spike can’t transform right now.” said Pipsqueak.

        “Alright.” Celestia’s horn began to glow as the spell was cast.

        “ACTION!” Pinkie’s party cannon soon went off, as random stuff happened all over the room.

        “PINKIE!” everyone yelled.

        “What? He said action.” Pinkie replied with a smile on her face. Darth just groaned as he reached a hoof to his head.

        “Somepony get my doctor on the phone.” muttered Darth.
