Because we can

Starlight was on her way back from the kitchen after popping some popcorn, it was her day off, and she planned to enjoy it, she popped a piece into her mouth and turned a corner, running into Twilight,

"There you are!" She picked up Starlight with her magic, and Starlight looked at the floor

"My Popcorn" She complained

"No time we're needed in Canterlot."

"But I..."

"No no, I mean, Me and the Girls, I need you to grade papers and make sure to protect the town if anything happens!" without waiting for an answer Twilight ran past her and out of sight

"It's my day off." Starlight whined "And I see it's going just like the last 5" she sighed as she made her way to Twilight's room, running into Trixie and Spike, both of who had been waiting for her

"You got the popcorn?" Trixie asked "Cause Trixie needs some"

"I need some more" Spike cut in, Starlight sighed

"Movie night's canceled, I have to grade papers for Twilight" Spike and Trixie looked at each other

"You agreed to do grading work instead of hanging out with us?" Trixie asked "Trixie is hurt"

"Well I didn't agree to it, she just ran into me and told me..."

"Then just don't do it," The two said in unison

"You agreed to nothing," Trixie said

"So you don't gotta do nothing" Starlight opened her mouth to reply, but failed to think of a comeback

"Good point?" Spike offered.

"Good point" Starlight agreed as she turned back around

"Come on, let's all get some popcorn this time" With that said the three backtracked to the kitchen, just as Starlight started popping the corn there was a commotion outside.

"What was that?" Trixie asked

"Not our problem" Starlight replied as she watched the popcorn pop, Meanwhile Spike looked out the Window,

"A Bugbear is destroying Ponyville again," He said

"This castle is 10 yards outside Ponyville's border, oh wait." Starlight lit her horn and off in the distance the school was protected in a barrier along with the castle "Now it's not my problem" she said with a shake of her head, "So what movie are we gonna..." With another explosion, the power went out and Starlight sighed, "At least the popcorn's popped"
Spike looked out the window "Wanna watch the Bugbear fuck up the town?" He asked, there was silence for a moment

"Trixie would like that" Trixie said joining Spike at the window.

"Oh no, we are not watching a Bugbear attack ponyville....threw the kitchen window, come on, to my room everyone, don't forget to bring a chair and a Drink" After a few minutes the three of them where all relaxing on Starlight's Balcony, watching the Bugbear as it picked up a building and threw it

"Think anypony will die?" Starlight asked as she sipped her drink

"Trixie once saw a pony fall off his roof and walk it off, pretty sure the ponies of this town have evolved to survive this kind of shit" Spike nodded

"Yeah, I once destroyed the town, and nopony died." Starlight looked at Spike in surprise when Trixie chimed in

"I know right, Trixie overthrew this town and threw all the slavery and impossible tasks nopony died, She was hoping those two dumbasses would have stroke's carrying her around, but no!" Trixie took a sip of her drink when Starlight cleared her throat, the two looked over at her.

"Are you both reformed villains?" She asked

"Yes," Trixie said

"I was only a Villian for a short time, but I guess I sort of am," Spike said before munching on some of his popcorn. as the three of them watched the Bugbear attack for a while, it suddenly turned its attention to something

"Aaannnd Their back" Spike said, "This is the point where we..."

"Let us go the beach," Trixie said "just pretend we weren't here"

"Good Idea!" Starlight said as she teleported the three of them far away,

A few minutes later

"This is nice," Spike said as he leaned back in his chair and traded Trixie some popcorn for a sip of her drink as they had each run out of the other. Starlight was looking out into the water as a Giant Crab attack a cruise ship

"What were the odds of teleporting to this exact spot," Spike asked as they watched the carnage.

"2 to 20" Trixie replied "Easy" as the trio watched Trixie spoke up

"So, do you think any of them will fight back?" She asked

"Maybe, but I'm sure that some pony will get hurt or killed"

"Probably not killed, never actually seen a pony die before tho, maybe we're all immortal?"

"Naw," The other two said in unison

"That'd be boring," Trixie said

"No drama in life" Spike replied as a Unicorn began attacking the Crab

"Hey! look at that mare! She's fighting back" Trixie said, "GO RANDOM PONY!" She cheered

"She can't hear you, Trixie,"

"I know, but It's fun to cheer" Trixie muttered

"How do you think it'll en..." Spike was saying when he and the other two all said

"Ohh!" as The unicorn blasted one of the Crab's eyes out

"Well, guess it's time for a new location" Starlight said as she teleported them away again.

A few minutes later

"Well I'm out of Popcorn" Starlight muttered as she teleported the tub away, "so what is this?" she whispered

"Some famous ponies wedding" Spike responded as the three of them sat awkwardly on a slanted roof watching a wedding

"Guess they can't all be hits" Trixie whispered as they watched the Groom give his vows "It's nice, but not enough action for my taste"

"Yeah, maybe something funny will happen if were patient" Spike replied as he and Trixie handed Starlight their empty containers to be disposed of, as they watched nothing too eventful happened

"Maybe if we actually knew them this would be rewarding" Spike muttered

"That might be the problem" Starlight whispered "One more time?" She asked

"One more time" The two responded as they were teleported away

A few minutes later

"This is fine," They all said as they sat in a burning building

"This is exciting," Trixie said, slightly pink thanks to Starlight's anti-fire spell

"Yeah" Spike replied, also pink "Tho I didn't really need the spell

"Better safe than sorry" Starlight responded as her chair collapsed beneath her, Spike and Trixie's chair's falling soon after.

"Think the floor will fall out beneath us?" Spike asked

"I dunno," Trixie said as a Crack appeared in front of her and began circling around them

"Well that's just not realistic" Spike muttered as it cracks around him

"Crappy effects" Starlight added as it came full circle and the three began falling to their deaths

"ONE MORE TIME!" They all screamed in joy and in a flash they were gone

A few minutes later

"Think they'll notice us?" Spike asked as they watched Twilight and Rainbow argue in front of Sugar Cube corner with Pinkie watching, eating popcorn

"If we give them long enough" Starlight replied, the three were now sitting on the roof of Sugar Cube corner.

"They can't have just disappeared!" Twilight yelled at Rainbow.

"We've looked everywhere, Starlight's not at the school, Spike's not at the Castle, and Trixie's not..."

"I don't care about Trixie"

"Bitch" Trixie muttered as Spike and Starlight patted her back

"We care," Starlight said

"We care a lot!" Spike added as the fight went on

"They have to be somewhere," Twilight yelled back, to the Side Pinkie noticed the Three of them on the roof and waved, the three waived back as Rainbow and Twilight continued yelling

"Well I looked everywhere, they're not here!" as the two shouted Pinkie went up to the roof with a pad of paper

"Popcorn and Drinks?" She asked

"Yes please," Spike said

"Wanna come with us?" Starlight asked as Pinkie handed out the Popcorn and Drinks

"No thanks, This is my favorite show," She said pointing at Rainbow "always full of excitement!" as the Three ate their snacks, Rainbow and Twilight yelled on

"Starlight isn't here, Spike isn't here, and Trixie isn..."

"I don't give a shit about Trixie!"

"FUCK YOU TO SPARKLE!" Trixie called back making the two stop and look up as the 4 above them ate their snakes

"Well this has been uneventful" Spike muttered

"and Insulting," Trixie said

"What do you two say?" Starlight asked the two looked at each other

"Where have you two been!" Twilight demanded angrily, the Three held up their hooves and claws respectably and yelled

"ONE MORE TIME!" And teleported away

"Huh?" Twilight asked as Rainbow shook her head

"Pinkie what happened?" Dash asked

"They're just trying to find something to watch" She replied as she ate some more popcorn and took a sip of her drink.
