Thank you! Honoring those who came before us!
Twilight Sparkle ran through the small auditorium, her wings flapping at a humming bird’s pace, “Oh, sweet Celestia we’re never going to get this done in time!” She yelled in a panic as she went backstage, “Rainbow, are you still not done with the backgrounds?”
“I’ll get it done Twilight,” Dash said, resting on top of a small wooden cloud, She then looked over at the purple alicorn beneath her, “Uh, Twi? Aren’t you an unicorn for this story?”
Twilight looked at her back and at her two wings, “Oh my gosh! I was just in such a hurry to get this story up and running that I forgot to get my spell out for the role.”
“It’s ok, Twi-twi,” Pinkie giggled, rolling in a large cake with the words ‘thank you’ on it. “This is an omake, wich means anything we do here won’t have any effect on continuity at all.”
“Anything?” Dash smirked.
“Yep, anything goes,” Pinkie giggled.
Twilight shook her head, trying to clear away her fear as she walked further through the stage, “Rarity, do you have the stage designs ready?”
“In a few moments,” Rarity said, looking up to a brown earth pony with a fireball cutie mark. “Taranee, be a dear and weild those two bars together.”
“Sure thing,” Taranee said, forming a fireball.
“Ah still can’t believe ya convinced the W.I.T.C.H gals from the other story to pop in for the help,” Applejack said, watching as some of the other members of the team flitted about, helping where they could.
“Well, when I told them who this was for, they jumped at the chance to help,” Twilight said, looking over to Will.
“Ok Twilight, I think me and the girls got everything,” the red mane pegasus said. “Also, I got some of the ‘other’ guests here as well.”
“Excellent, now we just need to-” Twilight began, only to be interrupted by Dash strutting in.
“Well, I did it,” the cyan pegasus said with a smirk, “ I joined the Wonderbolts, married Sorin and Fluttershy, became the fastest thing in the universe, and beat Tirek within an inch of his life. I am awesome.”
“Dash, what did you...”
“Well, Pinkie said that anything goes in an omake, so I decided to do a whole bunch of things on my to do list,” Dash said, pulling out a long sheet of paper.
“Let me see that,” Twilight said, pulling the paper away, “ become a wonderbolt, beat a god alone, become faster than the flash, and marry...marry every pony I know?” Upon reading that last one, she looked up to see Dash with a ring in hoof.
“Well? I only have this omake to make my dreams come true. I never really could decide who I want to be be with and to deprive anypony a lifetime with me would be a crime,” Dash smirked.
Twilight let out a growl of annoyance and face hoofed at Dash’s idea, “Just get everything in place and keep an eye out for the guests.”
“Twilight,” squeaked a little white filly, followed by her four friends.
“Yes, Sweetie Belle?” Twilight asked.
“ME and the other crusaders want to make sure we got the rigth lyrics for the song,” Sweetie asked, looking at the script.
Twilight gave the script the once over, “It’s fine Sweetie Belle.”
“All right Sparkle, Trixie thinks its time you changed her assitant!” Trixie yelled, walking up to the purple alicorn.
“What’s wrong with Sunset?” Asked Twilight.
“She continues to mess up Trrrrrixie’s special effect. Trixie has been doing the special effects for all of the fanfics of this studio to this point, she knows how to work them,” Trixie said.
“Just let her have her say, Trixie. It’ll be fine,” Twilight said, looking at the time sheet, “Oh, they’re coming.”
Just outside of the very large auditorium, Usagi and the other senshi began to walk towards it, “So, why did Twilight invite us down here?” Asked Makoto, looking back at her wings from her costume.
“Maybe the author finally found something to write for the future chapters of the story,” Ami said, a soft smile on her face.
“Yeah, he has been taking too long. Just what has been doing lately, sleeping?” Said Rei.
Minako looked shocked at Rei, “Rei, are you ok? That was a little out of character.”
“Wasn’t me!” The pony Rei said, before looking up at the animated 9 girls before them.
“OH MY GOSH! LOOK AT THE CUTE PONY US!” Squealed the human Usagi as she ran to the pony version of herself, only to bump into one that was black and white.
“HUH?” Said the black and white version of Usagi, her body looking more whispy and gorgeous, as if from a painting, “Oh, its another me. This is so great!”
“Isnt it?” Squealed a black haired school girl as she came running to the different Usagi’s, “This is like, having a whole group of the same friends. OH! We should all talk about our different histories, is you Minako as awesome as mine is? Oh what am I saying, of course she is!!”
“Let me guess, Usagi?” Asked the pony Usagi.
“But what about...” asked the black and white Usagi as she point her hand to her hair.
“OH! I have that too, it’s just this way when I’m not transformed,” the black haired Usagi said, smiling.
“Wow! So many mes, Amis, Reis, and Makos! Just what is going on?” Asked another Usagi, her hair seeming to be more plastic than the other Usagis.
“Um, I think I might have an explination,” said pony Ami as the other senshi began to meet and talk to their various counterparts. “After talking to myself and other selves, we have come to the conclusion that each of us is another verision of the same person.”
The comic Ami stood forward, “For instance, I am from the magna, she is the fanfic me, there are ones who are from a world where there are only five of us.”
“OH! That would be us,” a Minako with a cowboy hat said, holding the hand of her Rei.
“What is my relationship with Minako there?” the more cartoony Rei asked herself.
“Some of us are from an anime, and then there are those of us who fight while singing,” the Ami with more plastic like blue hair said.
“Oh, you are all here, good,” squeaked Fluttershy as she looked outside the auditorium. “Twilight said its ok for all of you to come in, if its not too much trouble or you aren’t done talking to each other.”
With a nod the girls all filed into the auditorium, taking their seats in the front rows and mingling with their persepective teams. Looking up at the stage, the spotlight shown on Twilight Sparkle as she walked to the podium, “Thank all of you for coming today, I am very pleased you could join us. You are probably wondering about how some of you are here, this is because I had Will use her folding abilities to cross dimesions and bring you all here,” the purple alicorn smiled, looking at the red mane pegasus to her left.
“The reason why we brought all of you here today is to say this,” Twilight said, a soft smile as she looked at the crowd, “Is to say, thank you. All of you from the bottom of our hearts. Although My little Pony was here before you girls were even thought of, it was you who had a hand in bringing us here to where we are today. Will?”
Will smiled, “Without you girls, I think it would be safe to say that there would be no W.I.T.C.H, no Winx, or several other magical girl series that you all inspired. You served to help bring the awesomenes of shows that are not here to life, like Cardcaptor Sakura and Rayearth.”
“Its because of this, the lessons that you have given to all of us, the stories that you have told, and the ideals that you represent that we thank you all,” Twilight smiled. “Some have said that my fight with Tirek was DBZ inspiried, and maybe that is true, but I would like to think that the end when I opened the box and I had the Rainbow Power flow through me and my friends. At that moment when they were giving me their power and I them. That we took inspiration not from Goku’s desire to be stronger than the next opponent, but to protect our friends and loved ones. To use friendship and love is not a weakness, but a strength and by admitting that we need we each other was something that you have always taught. Thank you so much for inspiring us and the world for years to come.” Turning, she smiled to Sweetie Belle and her three friends, “To finish this off, we present this tribute.”
(As the music begins, Dash pulls away the curtains to show a Moonlit background.)
Sweetie Belle:
I... I didn't know...
Know just how the story...
Just how the story goes...
(The music changes as Trixie and Sunsets horns glow bright, showing scenes of the anime and manga)
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo join in with Sweetie Belle
I'm sorry I'm not candid.
I can say it if in my dreams.
My thoughts are about to short circuit.
I want to see you right now!
I'm just about to cry -- moonlight
I can't call you, either -- midnight
But I have a simple heart, so what can I do?
My heart is a kaleidoscope.
(As Babs joins in with the other CMC, the scenes change to showing the girls as when they were young and alone)
With the light of the moon to guide us,
we'll be brought together by fate many times over.
(A bright light shines into each one of the young senshi’s images, turning them older and stronger. In each one of their flashbacks they are joined by a young Usagi, bringing them together as one. The mane six come across the stage, each lending thier voices to the mix as the CMC walk off, each of the mane representing a particular senshi)
Grasping tightly to a love you've finally found your way to,
you rest gently in a brief sleep.
Laying a goodbye kiss on your closed eyelid,
I left you behind in the garden of time.
Love can't continue
as a mere dream
But if you lust after it, it becomes a beautiful but hollow shell.
But still...
If that's what you want, then chase after me.
That kiss is a red tattoo,
a tattoo that engraves a prophecy of destiny
I'll know with just one look
There's a tattoo that hurts in the shape of your lips;
you can't hide it.
It's Moon Revenge, wooo...
(The music now changes pace showing the senshi at their best, at their worst. But most importantly, everytime it was the power of their friendship and bonds that protected them and guided them. The images show how being together stregthened and empowered them through their hardest times. Now the W.I.T.C.H girls join in the song.)
I won't wait any longer!
Being so close, don't let it end
I want all of you
A slide had separated us,
but after gently sliding downwards,
a pearl was revealed to us. ~
From the way you look at me...
I feel you can see what's in my heart.
~ Repeated for thousands of years
Love is a mysterious war.
From your love's moonlight,
I bathe in it, and am transformed
Vividly, Secretly, into: La Soldier *
(At the final lyric, the images explode with a picture of the senshi together, standing strong and always as one. Above their heads, the words ‘thank you Sailor Senshi appear)
_______________________________________________________________
Just outside of the auditorium as the party winds down, there are five young ladies looking in. A Usagi begins eating at a donut, “So why weren’t we invited?”
A Rei growls, “Probably didn’t want me to kill them all and burn their corpses!”
“Like, maybe, they were afraid of how fab I look,” said a slightly flighty Mina.
Ami would say something, but was interrupted by a, “Maybe they’re just just jerks,” from Lita.
