//------------------------------// // Rehearsal // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Invasion of Evil // by Dinodisneylover1 //------------------------------// Morning, it was a normal day at Canterlot High. It was warm, but it's still Fall. Happy students were walking around inside and outside the school. In the gym, a yellow skinned girl with light pink hair was putting on some streamers on the ceiling. But she wasn't aware that something was stalking her. When she was out of streamers she came down from the ladder to grab more, suddenly she heard a sound. She looked around. "Hello?" She said. But no answer came. She bent down to get some more streamers, but then she heard the sound again. She began to feel uncomfortable and looked around again. She turned around to bent down again, but suddenly... "HAHAHAHAHA!" a witch laughed right in front of her face. "AAAAAAAAAH!" The girl screamed. The yellow skinned girl was scared out of her wits and jumped up the ladder. She held tight on the ladder while covering her eyes. But suddenly, the witch nose and hat went off and it revealed a blue skinned girl with rainbow hair. The yellow skinned girl opened her eyes and saw her. "BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The rainbow haired girl laughed while falling on the ground. While she kept laughing, the other girl was hyperventilating. "THAT WASN'T FUNNY! You really scared me. I hope you're happy." The yellow skinned girl said unamused. "Oh, lighten up, Flutters. It's almost Halloween. Isn't that what it's all about?" The girl with rainbow hair said. "I don't like being scared and you know it." The yellow skinned girl said. "Rainbow! How many times did Ah tell you not to scare Fluttershy? You know how sensitive she is." said someone else. The person was revealed to be a girl with a Stetson hat. She also didn't look amused. "Relax, AJ. I was just practicing myself in scaring the little kids." the girl named Rainbow said. "By practicing on Fluttershy? That's just lazy." The girl with the Stetson hat said. "Lazy? Come on, she's scared of everything." Rainbow said. "That's not true." said the girl named Fluttershy while coming down the ladder. Rainbow raised an eye brow. "Boo." Rainbow said. "AAAAAH!" Fluttershy screamed and jumped on the ladder again. "See?" Rainbow said. The girl with the Stetson hat rolled her eyes. "Just don't scare her anymore." she said. "Alright, alright. Man, you guys aren't fun." Rainbow said while she walked away. The girl with the Stetson hat went to Fluttershy. "Are you okay, sugarcube?" She asked. "I-I'm fine. But no thanks to Rainbow." Fluttershy said. "Don't think bad of her. She's just as excited about Halloween as I am. By the way, are you planning to come to the party that night? They say the real fun starts at midnight." The girl with the Stetson hat asked while placing her arm around Fluttershy. "I-I don't know, Applejack. I'm still not comfortable with Halloween. Ever since I was a little girl, people were always picking on me. I was an easy prey for them to scare." Fluttershy said. "Hey, it's gonna be alright. I'm not forcing you to do anything. I'm just saying it would be very nice to spend the night with us." the girl named Applejack said. Fluttershy was thinking. "Give me some time to think about." Fluttershy said. "Okay." Applejack said. "Hey, we must go to the band room. We're about to practice a song for the party. We sure could use that tamborine of yours." They both went out of the gym. The Band Room. Applejack and Fluttershy arrived. Rainbow was there too along with four other girls and a dog. They already got their instruments in their hands. Rainbow plays the guitar, Applejack plays the bass, Fluttershy plays tamborine of course, A white skinned girl with purple hair played a keytar, a pink girl with dark pink hair plays the drums and a girl with fire-like hair also plays guitar. But there was also a girl with glasses and streaked hair. She didn't have anything to play with, so she just sat there to listen to the music. Applejack told them all that Rainbow scared Fluttershy...again. "Honestly, Rainbow Dash. Must you always pick Fluttershy as your number one person to scare?" The white skinned girl asked. "It was just a bit of fun." Rainbow said. "It's not for me." Fluttershy said. "I told you that even the smallest prank can hurt her." the pink girl on the drums said. "Come on, girls. Enough talk and let's practice." said the girl with fire-like hair. "Alright. One. Two. One, two, three." Rainbow Dash said. They began to play their instruments and start to sing. The girl with streak hair clapped her hands to the beat. While they sang, the students on school were also excited for Halloween. They placed decorations, began to wear costumes, and scared people just for fun. They have a good giggle about this. RAINBOW DASH: When the moon is full and bright On a starry starry night And the wind is deadly still Down your spine you feel a chill SUNSET SHIMMER: Something spooky's in the air You look around and no-one's there Not a living soul in sight Are there spirits out tonight? FLUTTERSHY: Then a bell starts to ring All the ghosts come out to sing... ALL THE GIRLS: It's Halloween-lo-ween ev'ry body Let out a scream, hooray it's Halloween! It's Halloween-lo-ween ev'ry body It's Halloween give a scream, it's Halloween! When they sung the chorus, they began to glow, and suddenly, their ears turned to pony ears, and their hair formed a tail. Fluttershy and Rainbow gained wings. The streaked girl became amazed. APPLEJACK: From the mansion on the hill Shrieks of laughter break the still Ghoulish figures start to wake Makes your knees begin to quake RARITY: Ghostly music fills the air With minor chords to curl your hair Ghosts and goblins boogie shake To a dev'lish disco wake PINKIE PIE: Then a bell starts to ring All the ghosts come out to sing... When they sang, none of them knows that outside, a raven flew high in the sky searching for something. Suddenly, it hold still and saw something shining from a school. It flew straight towards it. It landed at the window of the band room. It looked through the window and saw six girls playing music and a girl with a dog listening to it. ALL THE GIRLS: It's Halloween-lo-ween ev'ry body Let out a scream, hooray it's Halloween! It's Halloween-lo-ween ev'ry body It's Halloween give a scream, it's Halloween! (x2) RARITY: If you're young or if you're old PINKIE PIE: Don't be left out in the cold RAINBOW DASH: For one night out of the year Hug a goblin without fear SUNSET SHIMMER: Don a costume and a wig And dance a Halloweeny jig and FLUTTERSHY: Shake it left and shake it right APPLEJACK: 'Cause it's Halloween tonight ALL THE GIRLS: When the bell starts to ring Ev'ry body start to sing... It's Halloween-lo-ween ev'ry body Let out a scream, hooray it's Halloween! It's Halloween-lo-ween ev'ry body It's Halloween give a scream, it's Halloween! (x4) When the song ended, their ears and hair became normal again. The raven saw that the girl with streaked hair clapped her hands. The dog was whistling with its paw. "Alright, you girls rock." The dog said. "That was amazing. Everyone else will love it." The girl with streaked hair said. "Phew. Ah think I better open the window. It's getting a little toasty in here." Applejack said. She opened a window. But when she walked back to the others, she didn't notice that the raven who was spying on them stuck its head out of the window to hear better. "I still can't believe this still happens when we play and show our inner strength." Rainbow said mentioning the pony ears and tails. "Maybe that should be our costumes for Halloween." Pinkie Pie said. "If we're talking about Halloween costumes, I've made some especially for you that will fit you to a tee." Rarity said. "That's very generous of you, Rarity. You know, back in Equestria we also have a holiday that is similar to Halloween. We call it 'Nightmare Night'." Sunset Shimmer said. "Ooooooh, spooky." Pinkie said. "The celebration was named after Nightmare Moon. She's a villain who's actually Princess Celestia's sister Luna. Princess Twilight and her friends fought against her and brought Luna back to her senses." Sunset Shimmer explained. "That's totally awesome." Rainbow said. "It's good that Princess Luna is back. Though I never celebrated Nightmare Night or Halloween. I was focused on ruling Equestria at that time." Sunset said before she began to sigh. The memories of her changing into a she-demon came back. The girl with streaked hair placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay. You didn't know what you were doing that time. Just like me when I tried to understand magic." The girl with streaked hair said. The raven heard the things about princesses, Equestria and magic. It's eyes went wide and suddenly it began to smile while it listened further. "Thanks, Twilight. I hope we can both bury that in the past." Sunset Shimmer said. "Maybe those demon forms should be your costumes." Pinkie said. Everyone looked at her with a glare. "What? It was just a suggestion." Pinkie said. "It's still quite interesting to learn about things from your world, Sunset." The girl named Twilight or Sci-Twi said. Sunset nodded. "Do you still have that magic device you created?" Sunset asked. "Yes. I kept it with me." Sci-Twi said. Sci-Twi then showed a pendant-like device that hung around her neck. As she showed it to her friends, the raven saw it, and became very interested. "What are you going to do with it?" Sunset asked. "I don't know. I haven't really thought about that yet." Sci-Twi said. Thinking that nothing could happen to the device, Sci-Twi sat it down on the table. Much to the raven's joy. "You better be careful with it. What if someone steals it and wants to use it to do something bad?" Sunset said. "Relax. We defeated sirens and an ancient plant-creature from Equestria. I'm sure there's nobody else who wants to create mayhem here on Earth." Pinkie said. No one noticed that the raven slowly came inside and slowly walked towards the device. The girls were talking about different things, but the raven came closer. Suddenly, Fluttershy saw it. "Look. A raven." She said. The girls turned around and saw it. It was few inches from the device. It saw the girls looking at him. It cawed at them evilly and quickly grabbed the device with its beak. "My magic device." Sci-Twi said. "Come here!" Rainbow shouts. Immediately, she tried to grab the raven to get the device back. The raven quickly flew to the side. Rainbow tried to grab the raven again and the raven dodged again. Then he flew in the air. "AJ! Don't let it get away! Close the window!" Rainbow shouted. Applejack quickly closed the window. The raven was still flying in the room. "Here, birdie, birdie. We don't want to hurt you. We just want that device back." Pinkie said. The raven dove and was about to attack Pinkie with its talons. Fluttershy quickly pushed Pinkie out of the way. The raven flew high again and flew out of the room into the halls. "Come back, you feathered rat!" Rainbow shouted before she went fast after it. She followed the raven as quickly as she could. The raven was very fast. Rainbow wished she could be as fast as that raven. Then it came to her. She looked at her geode that hung from her neck and touched it. "Please, magic. Give me those superpony powers so I can catch that bird and bring back my friend's device." Rainbow said to herself. She began to close her eyes while she ran. Suddenly, she felt her inner strength. She was famed for her loyalty and that gave her that strength. She began to glow and her ears changed into pony ears. Her hair forms a tail and she gained wings. "Yes!" She said excited and flew straight towards the raven. The raven looked behind him and then forward again. Then it looked back again with wide eyes. It saw the rainbow haired girl coming straight towards him. The raven flew as fast as it could. It flew past the students and so did Rainbow. The students cheered for her because they were used to the fact that six students had the ability to gain magical powers. The raven then flew into the cafetaria. It flew around and around trying to lose the flying girl. But she kept pursuing it. Suddenly she grabbed the raven by its talons. The bird flew aggressively and Rainbow couldn't hold it for long. They flew together into the kitchen. There, an elder, green skinned lady was preparing food for the party. The raven and Rainbow came inside the kitchen and accidentally pushed the elder lady making her drop the pot with food. They kept flying uncontrollably around the kitchen, making them drop lots of food and kitchen supplies. Then they flew out of the kitchen. The elder lady looked around and wasn't pleased. The whole kitchen is a mess. "Why, that whippersnapper." the elder lady said. Suddenly the raven dropped the device and tried to peck Rainbow. She tried to avoid its attacks, but suddenly it got free and quickly dove down to grab the device with its talons. "Man, that's one tough bird." Rainbow said. (Music from 1:13 to 1:43) They flew straight towards the entrance and got outside. Rainbow kept chasing the raven. The raven looked right in front of him and saw a bus stopping at the school. The raven smirked and flew straight towards it. Rainbow kept chasing it. And at the sudden moment when the bird almost hit the bus, it flew fast into the air. Rainbow looked up and wasn't watching where she was flying. When she looked straight forward again, it was already too late. She hit the bus very hard. There was a girl with green hair and headphones who heard something. She listened carefully. But then she shrugged and listened to her music again. Rainbow slowly slid down to the ground and became dizzy. She had a goofy grin on her face. Little ravens were flying around her head. Her friends came outside and saw the state that she was in. "Oh my stars. Rainbow! Are you alright?" Rarity asked. "Rainbow?" Applejack asked. "Say something." Sunset said. "Maybe this will help." Pinkie said and put a cupcake in front of her, but she still didn't react. "Okay, then we have to do this the hard way." she said and slapped Rainbow across the face. "OW! Pinkie?!" Rainbow said while she shook her dizzy state. "Sorry, Rainbow. Could have brought a bucket of water, but I couldn't find one." Pinkie said. "Did you get my magic device?" Sci-Twi asked. "Sorry, Twi. That devil bird escaped." Rainbow said while growling at the raven who was long gone. "That raven didn't look friendly." Fluttershy said. "It was very aggressive, and it was like it knew that I was going straight for it. I think it made me bump against the bus. I don't believe this. The bird flew straight towards the bus, flew fast upwards, and made me bump into it just to mock me." Rainbow said. "Forgive me for being blunt, Rainbow, but I think you're giving that bird too much credit." Applejack said. "Well, the common raven or Corvus Corax is known to be a very smart bird." Fluttershy said. "But why would it steal my device?" Sci-Twi asked. "Well, ravens are like pirates. They steal everything." Sunset said. "Let's go back inside. There are lots of things to do." Applejack said. Sunset placed her arm around Sci-Twi to comfort her. The girls all went back inside.
