Do you have a really fun idea for a prank?” Elusive lifted both of his hooves to the banister at the top of the stairs, folded them over, and craned his neck down towards Bubble Berry. “Precisely.” Elusive’s horn glowed and it lit the small lights that lined the stairway to his upstairs inspiration room. Bubble Berry made his way up the stairs, but before he made his way to the room, Elusive turned to the vanity. The Grand Galloping Gala was my chance To make sure Canterlot knew my name I saw the Princess, and at first glance "Knew she-" Elusive turned back to the door, only to see Bubble Berry hopping back and forth wearing a lion costume. "Oh for the love of-" "Be prepared!" "Cut!" The snickers started almost immediately. "I'll be in my trailer!" Elusive shouted as a chaise lounge levitated next to him. He fell onto it and looked on as a pair of stallions made their way onto the scene to carry him away. "Hey, Lucy! Lucy!" "What?" "Why can't you trust a griffon's stories?" Bubble Berry shouted, "Because their tales end with lion!" The director facehooved. "Take four, everypony." ***** Wow, just... Wow. A year this took me. So, let's obviously start off with some thanks: Brasta Septim Dreamingnoctis Guy Incognito ZOMG These guys helped me get past my first writer's block on this story. You guys are great. Especially Dreamy. Happy six months, love! ***** Model number two, a yellow unicorn with a brown mane, began her walk. Her mane had been intentionally styled to resemble a lion’s mane, and her tail had been braided up to the tip, which was disheveled. She wore stockings that were covered in a furry material similar to her own mane and a blood red bikini. The most intriguing aspect of her outfit, however, was the lion tamer’s whip she held in her teeth. As she stopped to strike a pose, she levitated the whip out of her mouth and cracked it in the air. "Wait a minute," Hoity Toity shouted, "that is not my model. Who is that?" "Cut!" The director shouted as he scratched at his striped fur, "That's not a that, that is a he!" "Oh my gosh," Fleur De Lis shouted, "it's The most adorable pony I ever saw!" "He always dresses in style!" Moments later, the doors burst open, and a stream of Royal Guards burst into the room and surrounded the poor stallion. He smirked, and a moment later, he smiled, and one by one, the guards dropped to the floor with a tiny 'squee' sound. "Mwa hahaha!" he shouted as he grabbed the nearby zebra trapeze artist's hoof and swung to the exit. "'Til next we meet, Lovecolt." Lovecolt rubbed his temples and surveyed the comatose guards around him. He needed a cigarette. "Anypony got any Camels?" ***** Obviously, most of this fic is brought thanks to the original songwriters. I wanted to play with the idea of a musical for a while. My Little Pony uses it, so a story that uses it didn't seem that far fetched to me. Thanks to the original songwriters for the songs I used. John Kandor, Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Stephen Schwartz, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John, Frank Loesser, ABBA, Richard Rogers, Tom Snow, Jule Styne, Frank Wildhorn (still a fitting pony name, if you ask me), Phil Collins, and Robert and Richard Sherman. ***** “I’m sorry, Bluebelle.” He said. “I’m sorry.” "And scene!" the director shouted, "Great job, Dusk Shine. Take four, everypony. That is the end of act two. Now, let's get things ready for the final act." "Uh, sister?" Luna asked as she poked Celestia's side. Celestia hadn't moved from her spot. Her eyes darted across the room and registered the frosting everywhere. Finally, she held her hoof up to her mouth and gingerly licked the little bit of frosting off of it. "It was... coconut and vanilla flavored." The director's eyes widened. "It was a coconut and vanilla cake." her eyes narrowed. "and you killed it." "Bubble Berry," he asked, "wasn't it your job to explain to Her Highness about the scene?" "Oh yeah!" Bubble Berry replied, "But I wanted it to be a surprise. Isn't there a school of acting where you don't tell the other actors what's happening so they can really show their true emotions?" he turned to the director's chair, only to see that it was empty. "Lovecolt? Your Highness, where is-" He stopped mid-sentence when he saw Princess Celestia's horn charge up. "You monster!" she shrieked. A shrill scream echoed from across the hallway. ***** Obviously, musicals, R63, and shipping stories are already a bit niche reading material, so I really want to thank everypony out there for giving this story a chance. I know it is a... unique... story, but I am glad that I wrote it. I can't believe that it started out as a small joke about Twilight singing about Fluttershy's bat problem via Cell Block Tango. (Seriously, this all started from a small joke a year ago.) I really hope you all enjoyed it, and hopefully, I can entertain you all with some stories in the future. ***** “It’s great that I already put everypony in place for this!” “Wait, what? Bubble Berry, no, we don’t need another-” Splat Dusk Shine's jaw dropped on the floor as a piece of cake dropped from Bluebelle's muzzle onto the tile. The crowd gasped as she slowly reached up a hoof to grab the remaining frosting out of her mane. Bubble Berry couldn't help but laugh. "Oh gosh, you should have seen your faces!" "Bubble Berry, how could you?" Elusive shouted, "You know she-" Splat Dusk Shine turned his attention to the new sound and saw that now Elusive was covered in cake. Elusive looked down at his outfit and started to shake. "Oh relax, Elusive," Bluebelle shouted as she wiped the frosting off of her hoof from the piece of cake she had just thrown at him, "it's just a play." she started laughing, but another piece of cake flew across the room. She dodged it, and it managed to land on a nearby stallion. More pieces of cake flew through the air, until everypony was covered in the sticky frosting. "No!" the director shouted, "We were so close! "Ah'll protect ya, sugarcube!" Applejack stood proudly to shield Butterscotch from the onslaught of flying cake, but turned when he heard a small snicker. He saw Butterscotch with a devious grin plastered on his muzzle as he held a piece of cake in his hoof. He narrowed his eyes. "You wouldn't dare to-" Splat "Cut!"
