//------------------------------// // Ch.1: What Had Happened Before 'he' Arrived. // Story: The Play That Might Become a Salmon! // by trahzo //------------------------------// It was morning in Ponyville, with Spike waking up before Twilight Sparkle. "*inhale.* *exhale.* It's a good thing I don't need to leave the bedroom to fart anymore." That's when... "*hurk!* *belch!*" *BOOM!* "Those of you who do not understand what happened there, the fart gas spread around the room and as soon as he got the letter from Princess Celestia, the room blew up!" Hey! Get outta here, you're not supposed to appear until the end of the Chapter Bobo-b...no! Read nothing! Get to reading the other stuff you got that? Ignore who I was yelling at! "Phew, it's a good thing Twilight payed extra for my furniture to be fireproof." Spike said to himself. "Sad that I lost that lett...*Hurk!* *Belch!* What the?" Spike then opened the letter. Dear Spike, I thought you might blow-up your room, so I got a 2nd letter prepared. I want your friends Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity to prepare a play for the Crossing Roads Festival which will be held in Ponyville. Love, Mommy Celestia! "The Crossing Roads Festival?! But that's in 3 months!" Spike gasped. Later, after Spike gave Twilight her Coffee and her Orange Juice to start the day... "THE CROSSING ROADS FESTIVAL?!" Twilight shouted in surprise. "That's in 3 months!" "That's what I said when I read it!" "Spike! Everypony in Equestria, plus Yakyakistan & Griffonstone is coming here to experience a play that Celestia expects us to have ready in 3 months! Everything has to be perfect! Tell the Mayor to alert the town, now!" Spike saluted, swallowed a hash brown whole, then booked it and told the Mayor! Well 1st he tripped and fell face 1st on the ground after exiting the castle. Then he was stopped by Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon who were asking his opinion on their new gem dresses that Spike ate because he doesn't like Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon, then Dt told Randolph to fight Spike to the death! Spike didn't have tome, whoops I meant time for this so he pulled the dresses out of his stomach and gave them back to the 2 rich witchlings and ran off. Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon were disgusted and told Randolph to make them newer, prettier dresses because they don't like Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle. Anyways though, Spike then made it to Mayor Mare's office in Town Hall and told her the severity of their situation and alerted everyone in Ponyville! And in an extra effort to make sure everything goes as planned, gave Derpy Hooves a payed 3 month vacation with her daughters Dinky Doo, Amethyst Star, Dizzy Doo, Dipsy Hooves, Chirpy Hooves, and 4 extra guests which of course was her best friend Golden Harvest/Carrot Top, Derpy's boyfriend Doctor Whooves, and her band mates Blueberry Pie & Raspberry Fluff, though, that'll be another story where they fight a powerful bad guy ho ho ho ho ho ho! Anyways, after that, everypony in an any other creatures were working hard around the clock! Some ponies from other cities, towns, and villages even came to help out which was hugely accepted. "Alright dancers, un, duex, twoi! Un, Duex Twoi!" Said the dance instructor. "No Comet, when singing, you gotta say lemon, like this! 'lemon!' " The singing instructor told him. "Junebug, I'm gonna need those flower props!" Said the director! Everyone was working their flanks off for this play and Twilight enlisted the help of Trixie Lulamoon to be the opening act for the play. "Listen, I just gotta say that I think it's awesome you're helping us by being the opening act." Said Twilight. "Fufufu, it was only a matter of time until you, Trixie's one and only rival would require the assistance of The Great & Powerful Trixie!" Then confetti & fireworks fired. "Dang it Party Favor! I thought you & Cheese Sandwich wouldn't fool around!" Said Cranky Doodle Donkey. "Sorry." They said with smiles. "Well darling, I think it's still great you allowed bygones to be bygones and bury the hatchet...which is redundant since those 2 things mean the same thing." Said Rarity. "Yeah, it's good to know you're here not to do anything mean unlike the last 2 times you're here." Said Fluttershy. "Yeah, and we never even gave you a welcome to Ponyville party which we gotta do tonight!" Said Pinkie Pie while bouncing. "Well, we better get back to work, the snack table is running out. Enjoy your time in Ponyville." Said Applejack before taking Apple Bloom home to make more apple baked goods & apple cider. "Good thing you put that force field around the cider so...ponies like....B-b-berry Punch c-c-can't get-t-t-t..." Then she was on the knees of her hind legs."PLEASE TWILIGHT!!! LEMME AT THE CIDER!!! I'm so thirsty!" "No Rainbow! That cider is for everypony!" "Come-on! I'm soooo thirsty!" "Here's a glass of water! Or, maybe you'd like soda or some juice that isn't cider?" Spike offered. Rainbow Dash then slapped the drinks away and was about to fly off until... "Rainbow Dash!" "Sorry girls." "It's fine peasant!" Said Trixie. "Watch your mouth or I'll stuff Spike down there!" "Hey! Don't use me as a weapon!" "Would you 2 not fight? We gotta make sure everything goes as planned! We got a month and a half left before creatures from across Equestria and beyond come here to our little town for the festival." Twilight told them. "Fine!" The 2 blue ponies agreed. "Good, now shake hooves." Then they literally shook hooves! "No! Not like that!" "We know." They replied with a smirk. Later, Twilight & Spike were at the road that led to the Everfree Forest. "I hope Zecora got the potions for clear throats ready." Said Spike. "Yeah, I..." Twilight stopped. "What's wrong Twilight?" Spike didn't know what was wrong until he looked ahead and saw something literally rolling into town. "What in Celestia is that?" That's when Twilight jumped over the rolling thing but then 2 more things fell on top of Twilight Sparkle & Spike! "Gah!" *CRASH!* "Yeah! We did it!" Said a strange sun shaped creature "Yeah! We defeated Barney the Yoshi and the pony version of Stocking!" Said an anthromorphic Jelly creature. "Great teamwork guys! Wait a minute......where are we? This isn't little Jenny's birthday!" Said the black man with large muscles, blue shirt, epic shades, long black pants for his long legs and huge golden afro! "Yeah! There isn't even a vending machine to purchase toilet plungers!" Said the sun creature. "You're right, my cousin Jenny would never have her birthday party in this part of Texas, France!" Said the Jelly creature. "Ooh boy! We're gonna be in for quiet the day aren't we Twilight?" Said Spike who was under the sun creature. "I think we've met someone worse than Discord!" Twilight replied.
