"Pinkie Pie, stop eating all the cookies!" Rainbow Dash ordered. They were at the dance, waiting for the Sharks to show up. Sure enough, they came in. Twilight waved to the ponies with them.
"They're really good dancers," Twilight remarked, referring to the Jets on the dance floor.
"Duh," Rainbow Dash replied "The actors have trained, remember?" The other ponies came up.
"Hey you guys!" shouted Pinkie Pie from the punch bowl "Ready?"
"You better believe I'm ready!" shouted Applejack
As everyone was getting comfortable, the manager of the gym, Glad Hands came in and said, "Okay, I want the girls to from a small circle and the guys to from a circle outside of them." He turned to the Sharks, who were confused, "Dos circolos." As they nodded, he continued, "When the music plays, I want the boys to walk my left and the girls to walk to my right. When the music stops they boy dances with whatever girl is in front of them. So who wants to come up?" Nobody came up.
Out of nowhere, Bernardo and Anita came up. "Yeah, go Bernardo!" shouted Applejack.
Next, came Riff and his girlfriend. "You're my guy Riff!" Rainbow Dash yelled. And, just like that, almost everyone came in. The music swelled up and everyone started moving. But, as it stopped, Riff was in front of Anita. "Oh hell no I ain't dancing with you!" he proclaimed. Everyone went back to their section of the gym.
The ponies loved what was next so much, they shouted along, "MAMBO! MAMBO! GO!" The dancing was amazing that the ponies whacked out some of their own dance moves (Except for Twilight, because her dancing SUCKED!).
"Look!" shouted Twilight. Tony was in the building. "Tony!" she shouted. Tony waved.
After a whole lot (and I do mean a whole lot) of dancing, the moment happened. The ponies got to the food line so they could get a better view. Tony and Maria were walking closer, and closer, and closer to each other. The ponies were so captivated by this, they were swept in by the love as well. They could hear the soft music, they could see the other people dancing along, they could see the dark background... well, you get the point. They leaned in to hear them talk.
"I'm thinking of someone else," Tony said.
"I know you are not," Maria replied.
"This is amazing, I knew something amazing was going to happen, but this is so much more."
"My hands are cold!" ("Obviously a flirt," murmured Rainbow Dash.)They held hands. "Yours too." She lifted her hands to his face. "So warm,"
"So beautiful." After a moment of silence, Tony said, "So much to believe in. You aren't joking?"
"I have not learned to joke that way. And now I don't think I ever will." The ponies knew what was coming. They were leaning in closer, and closer, and closer.
"YES!!!" Rarity fainted. As she fainted, Bernardo came to them and swiped Tony away.
"Get your hands off her Americano!" he shouted.
"Tony did nothing!" Riff said "I challenge you to a rumble to see who is the best once and for all! We meet at Doc's in one hour to discuss terms!"
"Alright!" Bernardo replied "As for you Maria, you are in big trouble! Sharks, we leave!" They started to leave as Bernardo saw ponies were just standing there. "You too, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy!"
"We'll see you at the meeting," Fluttershy said as she and Applejack left, dragging an unconscious Rarity.
Twilight turned to the other two, "I think one of us should go with Tony. Which one of us is the least likely to throw up after seeing love." Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie pointed to her. "FINE! LEAVE ME TO HEAR SONG WITH ONE WORD 29 TIMES!!!!!!" She calmed down, "If Riff asks, tell him the truth, I'm with Tony and I'll be back in time for the meeting."
"Good luck Twilight!" wished Rainbow Dash "You're going to need it..." She and Pinkie Pie started to laugh as Twilight walked toward Tony.
"Hey, Tony!" Twilight shouted "Are you okay man? I saw you getting jiggy with that Puerto Rican girl!"
"Maria," Tony mumbled.
"Sorry, what was that?" asked a nervous Twilight, hoping it wasn't what she thought it was.
Tony picked Twilight up and carried her outside, "Her name is Maria, Twilight, Maria!"
"Here we go..." Twilight cried.
Tony started singing," The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard. Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word: Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria... Maria, Maria...
Maria! I’ve just met a girl named Maria, and suddenly the name will never be the same to me. Maria! I’ve just kissed a girl named Maria, and suddenly I’ve found how wonderful a sound can be! Maria! Say it loud and there’s music playing... Say it soft and it’s almost like praying... Maria... I’ll never stop saying Maria!"
"You need to stop eventually," notified Twilight as Tony put her down "Or people are going to you're crazy!" She had come to the part where Tony was just saying "Maria" nonstop. That didn't stop her from trying, "Could you please stop? That's kind of annoying. Hello? Earth to Tony? TOOONNNYYY!!!!!!! You're just going to ignore me, are you?" Figured..."
Tony kept singing, "Maria! Say it loud and there’s music playing... Say it soft and it’s almost like praying... Maria. I’ll never stop saying Maria! The most beautiful sound I ever heard. Maria..." He turned to Twilight, "Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. What were you saying?"
"To stop saying 'Maria'," Twilight grumbled "Tell me how you led the Jets again?"
"But Twilight, she was so beautiful! Right from the moment I saw her in the gym, I knew she was the one for me. In fact, I'm going to go see her right now! Do you know where she lives?" Twilight had a worried look on her face. "Come on Twilight, I'll repay you the favor! Just don't tell the others!
"I guess I can teleport you there," Twilight stuttered "But I do want the favor repaired though."
"You're the best! It's no wonder you're the one of your friends with a horn and wings!"
"Back where I'm from, I'm the Princess of Friendship."
"Sweet! Tell me more about your home and what you're life is like."
"Okay!" grinned Twilight as she prepared the spell "My home land is called Equestria..."
