Another glorious day was in progress for our heroes, especially a poor little boy who desperately desires to seek a golden ticket. Soon as Charlie finished school for the day, his seven equine friends, and their little dragon pal, met him just outside the school as always. Seeing the boy emerge through the entry way, every pony ran up to greet him, aside from Rainbow, who always prefers flying. At the sight of his faithful companions, Charlie smiled hugely.
“What’s up, Charlie?” Rainbow asked, casually.
“You know, you guys don’t have to come and walk me home from school every day,” Charlie assured. “I feel bad for having you come all this way just for me.”
“Oh pish-posh, darling,” Rarity brushed it off. “We’re more than happy to accompany you home or just about anywhere.”
“I’m assuming you’ve got a paper route to do, am I right?” Twilight asked.
“You bet, Twilight,” Charlie nodded.
They began to walk down the road towards the newspaper stand, where Charlie collected his papers from Mr. Jopeck as they proceed to deliver them. Surprisingly enough, it took less time to deliver them all today than in recent days.
“Wow, this actually went by much quicker than usual,” Fluttershy noted.
Confused, Charlie looked through his paper bag only to find it completely empty.
“Hmm… Must be a slow day for the paper,” Charlie shrugged, scratching his head.
“Well, we got plenty ah time left fur we gotta get your ma from the laundry house,” Applejack confirmed. “What ya’ll wanna do?”
Every pony shrugged, when an answer wouldn’t come. Usually, the paper route took longer than this. But with today taking less time, it left the group with little more time to actually do something casual.
Suddenly, they all hear Pinkie Pie gasp and turn around to see her smiling widely. Her huge eyes widening, her tail pointing toward a park not far from them.
“Ooh! Ooh! Can we go to the park?” Pinkie begged, bouncing excitedly. “Can we go to the park? Please? Please? Pretty please with chocolate frosting on top?”
Every pony and Charlie smiled, shaking their heads at their friend’s antics, hopping about like an excited school filly. They all looked past her and all the same couldn’t help but stare at the park. Even they could admit that since arriving onto this world, they rarely had any time to spend together. What with Charlie always busy with either school or his paper route, usually both, the only times they ever get to see him were whenever they walk him home or having any time to talk before bed. The entire group looked at each other, smiling as a decision was made.
“Why not?” Twilight said, gleefully. “Come on, girls! Let’s have some fun!”
They all ran excitedly towards the park, finally having themselves some fun. Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Spike especially enjoyed a wonderful game of tag. But rather than simply running across the grass, they took flight in the air. Pinkie laughed as Cheese pushed her along the sing, as he himself smiled brightly. Charlie, Rarity, and Twilight picked flowers along the field just alongside the park, admiring the tranquility and beauty. Before too long, they all decided it be relaxing to sit down for a lovely picnic, which Twilight was happy to conjure up.
As they sat along the field, enjoying some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which Twilight made herself, they decided to share a casual conversation.
“So, you’ll never believe what happened today, Charlie,” Twilight spoke up.
“What’s that, Twilight?” Charlie asked.
“Well you see, it goes like this,” Rainbow began, trying to stifle a laugh. “We were with your grandparents earlier, heh-heh… And we saw one of the funniest things ever on television…”
<>
Earlier that day, Twilight Sparkle approached the large bed where Charlie’s grandparents were resting, carrying four bowls of soup in her magical grip. She offered a bowl to each of them, which they graciously accept.
“I hope you all enjoy some mixed vegetable soup,” She smiled.
“Sure beats cabbage any day,” Grandpa Joe smirked.
Suffice to say, the grandparents enjoyed their soup immensely and were sure to thank Twilight for it. Afterwards, they decide to watch a little T.V. and the moment they turn it on, they were greeted with a hilarious sight. Apparently, the latest news report centered on the Wonka contest went on to discuss a man who supposedly found a way to cheat the system.
“Guys, take a look at this!” Twilight called.
It wasn’t long before the rest of her friends ran into the room, looking at the television as well.
“Breaking news concerning the fabulous Wonka Golden Ticket contest: With only three remaining golden tickets hidden in the world, everyone has been wondering how long it will take before someone uncovered a way to find the others. Ladies and gentlemen, today we believe that answer has been found. We now take you to a live video broadcast where a local technician believes he has constructed a machine which he believes will uncover the three final tickets.”
The scene quickly transitions to a large computer lab, where a technician stood in front of a large computer.
“Gentlemen, I know how anxious you’ve all been during these last few days, but now I think I can safely say that your time and money have been well spent. We’re about to witness the greatest miracle of the machine age. Based on the revolutionary Computonian Law of Probability, this machine will tell us the precise location of the three remaining Golden Tickets.”
The technician smiled smugly, as he pushed a few buttons on the computer as it sprang to life. It made several beeping sounds, until eventually a small card is ejected from a slot. The technician grabs it and held the card before his eyes.
“It says, ‘I won’t tell. That would be cheating.’”
His smug smile falters a little, as he crumpled the card up. He begins punching more commands on the computer panel.
“I am now telling the computer that if it will tell me the correct answer, I will gladly share with it the grand prize.”
The computer sprang to life again, making additional beeping noises, and pops out another card, which the technician grabbed.
“He says, ‘What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?’” The technician said, through clenched teeth.
He merely chuckled with embarrassment, while everyone watching on the screen found this scenario amusing. Rainbow didn’t even try to hold back, as she watched the technician crumbled the card frowning. He then turns and begins punching the commands violently into the computer.
“I am now telling the computer exactly what he can do with a lifetime supply of chocolate!” The technician growled.
<>
Having heard such an amusing and funny story, every pony and Charlie burst out laughing and rolled all over the ground.
“That was priceless!” Rainbow laughed. “You should’ve seen the look on his face!”
“Ah ain’t ever laughed so hard in mah life!” Applejack wheezed.
After a while, every pony eventually calmed down and regained their composure. They all stood back up, gathering all the supplies and put them away.
“Well, that was fun,” Charlie replied. “But maybe we should go and see if my mom is done working. That way we can all walk home together.”
“You’re such a sweet boy, Charlie,” Fluttershy grinned.
Charlie blushed slightly, as every pony smiled at him while they began walking. It wasn’t long before they reached the center of town, where once again they noticed a large gathering just outside the television shop. Every pony sighed, shaking their heads knowing full well this could only mean one thing.
“Let me guess,” Spike sighed. “Someone found another ticket.”
“Indeed Spikey-Wikey,” Rarity nodded. “That certainly explains all the commotion.”
“Come along, every pony,” Twilight motioned. “Let’s see who it is this time.”
The group once more approach the large gathering, having to push their way to the front. By the time they arrived, they were able to see another television broadcast. This time, it showcased a little brunette girl chewing a piece of gum, standing alongside her parents in what appears to be a car sale lot.
<>
“And it can happen right here too, unbelievable as it sounds, right here in America. Where even in the smallest town, the happiest of dreams can come true. Because folks, here she is, Miss Violet Beauregarde, finder of Wonka’s Golden Ticket Number Three, from Miles City, Montana. And with her, the proud parents: Mr. Beauregarde, a prominent local politician, a great civic leader, a philosopher—”
Mr. Beauregarde quickly pulls the microphone away from the news reporter, starting to rant about his so-called ‘great sales’.
“Hi folks, Sam Beauregarde here, ‘Square Deal Sam’ to you, with all of today’s great giveaway bargains. The finest values you’ll get anywhere in the entire country. Now this little number right here’s a four-door sedan…”
“Come on, Dad, they don’t want you!” Violet yelled, yanking the microphone away.
“Thank you, sir,” The reporter said, turning to Violet. “Violet, would you care to say a few words to the nation?”
“Sure I will,” Violet bragged, waving the ticket. “Here it is, Golden Ticket Number Three, and it’s all mine!”
“This is just one of the 263 trophies and medals our Violet has won,” The mother added.
“So, tell us what happened Violet,” The report beckoned.
“Well I’m a gum-chewer, normally, but when I heard about these ticket things of Wonka’s I laid off the gum and switched to candy bars instead. Now, of course, I’m right back on gum. I chew it all day except at meal-times when I stick it behind my ear…”
“Violet…” Mrs. Beauregarde began.
“Cool it mother!” Violet snipped.
She then pulled a chewed-up piece of gum from her mouth, showing it to the whole world.
“I’m the Junior World Champion Gum Chewer. This piece of gum here is one that I’ve been chewing on for three months solid, and that’s a world record! It’s beaten the record held by my best friend, Miss Cornelia Prinzmetal, and was she mad!”
Violet sticks the gum back in her mouth, before waving to her so-called ‘best friend’.
“Hi, Cornelia, how are you sweetie?”
“Of course, I did have my share of trophies,” Her mother added. “Mostly baton.”
“So, word is Mr. Wonka is offering this grand prize better than all the rest,” Violet continued. “I don’t care who those other four kids are. That kid, that’s gonna be me.”
“Tell them why, sweetie,” Mr. Beauregarde said.
“Because I’m a Beauregarde, which means I’m a winner!”
It was at this moment, as Mr. Beauregarde once again tried to get the attention of the cameras back to him and is cars, when one camera caught sight of a certain man, with octagon spectacles and a scar, whispering into Violet’s ear.
<>
As the broadcast came to an end, the whole crowd, except for Charlie and his pony friends, disperse. They all stood there looking on, some in shock and others in disgust, but mostly Rarity.
"What a beastly girl!" Spike retorts.
“My word she is despicable,” Rarity cringed, in disgust. “And chewing gum for that long, just to actually show it to the world? That is just horrid.”
“You know, I once set a record myself,” Cheese spoke up.
“Oh? And what record did you ever set, Cheese?” Spike asked.
Cheese pulls out a picture of himself, showing the pony holding a trophy in the shape of an exploding gag toy.
“Why for causing the most laugher in Equestria!” Cheese smiled, proudly.
Spike raised an eyebrow, scratching his head curiously.
“But there’s no such record in Equestria.”
“There is now.”
Rather than trying to figure the yellow party pony out, Spike simply shrugs and turns back toward the rest of the group. He could see the dejection and sadness on Charlie’s face, as did the rest of the group. Fluttershy floats up, wrapping her hooves around the boy’s neck.
“I’m really sorry, Charlie,” She whispered.
Charlie nods sadly, placing a hand on Fluttershy’s hoof. Eventually, she releases her hug and they continue walking down the street. Darkness began to descend upon the town before they finally arrived at the laundry house where Mrs. Bucket was just working another load of laundry. She looks over and noticed the group approaching.
“Well, what are you all doing here?” She asked.
“I thought if you were ready, we’d walk you home,” Charlie told her.
“Wow Mrs. B,” Rainbow observed. “You’ve really got your hands full here, don’t you?”
Mrs. Bucket sighed, as she grabbed a large stirring rod and stirred away at the hot water inside the tub of laundry.
“You don’t even know the half of it,” Mrs. Bucket informed. “Looks like I’m going to be working late tonight.”
“We’d be glad to help you out, Mrs. Bucket,” Twilight offered.
“Oh yes darling,” Rarity agreed. “You seem so overworked and would more than willing to offer a helping hoof.”
“Or ‘claw’, in my case,” Spike added.
“Oh no, don’t worry about it, girls,” Mrs. Bucket shook her head. “This is just part of the job; I really don’t want to burden you.”
“Please let us help, Mrs. Bucket,” Twilight implored. “When we first arrived, we made it perfectly clear we’re not going to live with you for free. If there’s any way we can help, we’re willing to do it.
Mrs. Bucket paused for a moment, as she looked over the ponies.
“Well all right,” She smiled. “But only because you insist.”
“Oh, I love washing clothes!” Pinkie exclaimed, giggling. “Although sometimes I do make a mistake. Like this one time, I was helping the cakes, and this red sock ended up with all the white aprons. When they came out, they were all as pink as me!”
“Pinkie!” Twilight snipped.
“Oh come on, it was a great story!” Pinkie said, defensively. “I mean we had to buy new aprons, but we all got a good laugh out of it!”
Every pony, minus Charlie, proceeds to work whether it was washing, drying, or simply folding the clothes as neatly as possible.
“Oh well, I guess I’ll be going now,” Charlie spoke up.
“Well, why don’t you stay a minute?” Mrs. Bucket asked. “Here, pull up a pile of clothes and sit down. Everything all right at school?”
“Yep.”
“Good. Go on your paper route?”
“Yep. Even finished a little early.”
“Good.”
Charlie pulled a smile pile of cloths to sit on and used the big stirring rod to stir the tub for a moment or two. As every pony else helped Mrs. Bucket with her work, they couldn’t help but notice the sad look on Charlie’s face.
“I thought you should know; they found the third ticket today.”
“Did they?”
“Yeah, some pride gum-chewer named Violet Beauregarde,” Rainbow said.
“Rainbow Dash!” Rarity gasped.
“Oh come on, Rarity. The way she was chewing that gum was disgusting; you said so yourself.”
“Well, at least I am not trying to be such a brute about it!”
“Come on girls, we’re here to work, not argue!” Twilight stepped in.
“Sorry, Twilight,” Rarity and Rainbow Dash said, in unison.
After a few moments of work, Charlie stood up and made his way to leave.
“Well… Guess I’ll be going then.”
“Is that all?” Mrs. Bucket asked.
Charlie whipped around, his face looking sadder than before.
“Well, I thought you’d like to know. Most people are pretty interested. I know I’m interested. There are only two tickets left you know. Just two. Pretty soon just one.”
“I wonder who the lucky ones will be.”
“Well, in case you’re wondering if it’ll be me, it won’t be!” Charlie proclaimed, loudly. “Just in case you’re wondering, you can count me out.”
Hearing his little outburst, every pony stopped working and turned toward Charlie. They could see the boy was on the verge of tears.
“Please don’t be upset, Charlie,” Twilight assured. “I’m sure you’ve still got a good chance as everyone else.”
“What chance do I have, Twilight?” Charlie asked, sadly. “The people who find the tickets are the ones who can afford Wonka Bars anytime they want. I can’t even afford ‘one’… It’s impossible!”
Mrs. Bucket immediately stopped what she was doing, placing her hands along her son’s shoulders.
“Charlie… There are a hundred billion people in this world, and only five of them will find Golden Tickets. Even if you had a sackful of money you probably wouldn’t find one. And after this contest is over, you’ll be no different from the billions of others who didn’t find one.”
“But I am different. I want it more than any of them.”
“Charlie, you’ll get your chance. One day, things will change.”
“When? When will they change?”
The Mane Six approach Charlie, patting his back comfortingly.
“You know Charlie, if there’s one thing I’ve ever learned in life,” Fluttershy began. “Sometimes, the best things come to those who least expect them.”
“Fluttershy’s right, darling,” Rarity agreed. “It’s when we never see what’s coming to us that when they finally do it’s all the more satisfying.”
Mrs. Bucket nodded, smiling down at her son before kissing his forehead.
“Everything will be alright in the end, Charlie. I’ll see you later.”
Charlie nodded, walking outside the laundry house. Cheese and Spike walked out behind him.
“We’ll go with you buddy,” Spike smiled. “No sense walking along the streets this late, especially by yourself.”
Cheese suddenly appears, adoring a musketeer outfit complete with a fake sword to wave around.
“Yeah, we’ll be the Three Musketeers! Always together, never apart! All for one, one for all, every ‘pony’ for himself… Wait, that wasn’t right.”
Even though he was still upset over the whole contest, that last bit still managed to get a chuckle out of Charlie. As Cheese Sandwich went over a ‘book’, likely a copy of ‘The Three Musketeers’, a certain pony approached him.
“Hey, Cheesy?”
Cheese quickly turned to see Pinkie Pie trot up to him.
“What’s up, Pinkie?”
Without another word to say, Pinkie leaned forward and planted a kiss along Cheese’s cheek before pulling back with a bright smile.
“I’ll see you soon.”
Blushing bright red as Big MacIntosh, Cheese Sandwich slowly followed Spike and Charlie down the road. The rest of the Mane Six came by, standing beside Pinkie as they looked at her with knowing smiles. All, except for Fluttershy, who looked sadly after Charlie.
“Poor Charlie. All he ever wanted is a chance to finally have something amazing.”
Mrs. Bucket sat down along the brick steps outside the laundry house, looking after her son.
“Yes… Ever since his father passed away, things have been really hard on him.”
The Mane Six sat alongside Mrs. Bucket, interested in the story.
“What do yah mean?” Applejack asked.
“Charlie and his father were always really close. I remember my husband would always call Charlie his ‘little good luck charm’. He would come home from work at the toothpaste factory, bringing broken caps for Charlie to use as a model of the Wonka Factory. Even after losing his job, to pave way for modern machinery, he still retained a chipper outlook on life. Unfortunately, after he passed, luck hasn’t seemed to come for Charlie. I hope it does some day; I really miss the smile he used to have.”
As they all stare down the street, they couldn’t help but get the urge to sing.
https://m.<>
As Cheese, Spike, and Charlie continue their trudge down the road to the Bucket house, none really said much along the way. Especially Cheese, but only because he was still reeling from Pinkie’s kiss on his cheek. He wanted to initially say something, but the butterflies in his stomach, every time Pinkie was around, kept him from doing so. And yet, that feeling he had now could be described as fireworks ready to ignite at any time.
He soon stopped in his tracks for a moment, as Spike and Charlie turn back and noticed him standing still.
“You coming, Cheese?” Spike asked.
It took Cheese a moment to compose himself, turning his head to the side acknowledging the fountain, where he and Pinkie sat together only a few days ago. He turns back toward Charlie and Spike.
“Actually, I’m gonna stay for a moment. You guys go on ahead, I need to think.”
“Are you okay?” Charlie asked.
“Don’t worry about me, kiddo,” Cheese waved it off. “I’ll be alright. Just go on ahead, I’ll catch up in a minute.”
Charlie and Spike nod, as they continue their way home. In the meantime, Cheese slowly trots up toward the fountain and stares toward the falling water. His thoughts drift to only one thing that never seemed to leave his mind.
“Pinkie Pie,” Cheese thought. “Lately, you’re all I could ever think about, the only thing that was always at the forefront of my attention. Every time you’re near, I feel weak in the knees and I’m always yearning for you to come back every time you leave. I never felt this way about any pony before; perhaps I already know why I’m feeling this way now. And yet… And yet you can’t even tell her… I can’t…”
So passionate about this feeling pounding in his head, he could only express it the only other way he knew how: Singing.
https://m.As Cheese sang, he reached through his yellow polo shirt and pulls out a scrapbook. He opens it, revealing many pictures mostly of him and Pinkie. But his favorite, however, was the day the two hugged it out at the laugh factory, after helping him find his true calling.
“HEY!!!!”
A voice interrupts Cheese Sandwich during that last verse, drawing him to a grumpy old man peering from a nearby window.
“Keep it down, will ya!?” The man shouts. “Some of us are trying to sleep!”
“Sorry!” Cheese Sandwich whispered, harshly.
As the townsperson slammed the wooden shutters, Cheese Sandwich silently stood by the fountain and suddenly felt an epiphany. There was no doubt in his mind anymore; he knew now what he had to do. He wasn’t quite sure ‘when’ to do it, ‘where’ to do it, or even ‘how’. Yet he did know that at long last, after all this time, he finally had to tell Pinkie Pie something that’s been on his mind for the longest time.
“Sweet Celestia,” Cheese Sandwich spoke. “I’ve fallen in love with my best friend; I’m in love with Pinkie Pie!”
That was good!
Can't wait for how Mike Teevee fit his ticket.
Cheese Sandwich is going to tell her he loves her!! I CALL FOOD CATERER FOR THEIR WEDDING!!!
Well, OF COURSE he would be a perfect match for Pinkie! Three tickets down, two to go! Nice song for Cheese! Keep your head up, Charlie! You will go down in history one day!
In possibly the most musical chapter in the entire story (Most musical chapter 'so far', that is) we not only discover who found the third ticket but we can see how the toll of disappointment is weighing down on Charlie Bucket. In addition to the emotional scale of this story, we decide to take an ambitious approach to explaining part of his family background especially taking certain elements to describe how his father was like (Since he 'died' in the original movie). In a way, we can see where Charlie is coming from, thinking that it's expected that someone like him has no chance in winning something as grand as a Golden Ticket. Personally, I often assumed the worst whenever I had auditions for shows, always expecting to land the 'chorus' and never having a chance at playing a lead (Least I got to perform). The mother meant well with what she tried to tell him, how there would be no shame if he were to lose, but she also hopes that something good will happen to him if only because she misses how happy her son used to be.
As for the confirmation that Cheese Sandwich has feelings for Pinkie Pie, since we saw in the future they'd eventually get together and have a kid of their own (With a recent 'Equestria Daily' post theorizing he may be among the first transgender ponies), we had to work in how they started falling in love somehow. After all, when they were kids, it was because of Pinkie that Cheese was inspired to be a party planner when he was wandering around all alone, with no home to go to. And even when he seemed unhappy at being the manager of a Laugh Factory, which initially was his means to help keep with the orders to stir up parties all over Equestria, it was because of Pinkie that he was reminded what makes him happy is 'seeing' all the ponies enjoying themselves rather than staying in an office. Sure, they started out rough when it seemed Cheese was out to replace Pinkie's status and they had that 'Goof Off' that almost sent Pinkie out of Ponyville, but once it was clear he only came along because Pinkie Pie was his hero suddenly it all makes sense. And what started off as having praise for an idol, suddenly it becomes apparent that Cheese cares about Pinkie so much that he's finding a tough time trying to tell her how he feels.
When it all eventually reaches a full circle near the end of this story, I do believe it will be rather satisfying for 'Cheese Pie' fans... Mmm, 'Cheese Pie'....
And yes, before I forget, we heard 'every' person complaining that the 'computer' scene wasn't added in the last chapter (The fact we got it on here at all is a miracle).
10125950
Mike Reeves? *Pause* OH... Mike Teevee... Yeah, that little guy.
He's going to be tricky to work with considering there are two contrasting portrayals of the kid. On one hand, the original is more of a rambunctious little rascal in a cowboy outfit who makes many T.V. references (Or at least knowledge of a television). On the other, the remake's version is a bit of a jerk, doesn't seem to care about anything, and seems more like a bully. But we'll think of something.
Love the song! Kinda hoping that you'd link the original version though
10126033
If by version, you are talking about 'Can't Fight This Feeling', I'm afraid that part is beyond my control. That would be Mr. Enigma's decision alone and like him, I'm a 'Glee' fan myself. I just go along with it.
10125963
How odd that I used the glee version of pure imagination on my intro and then a glee song came on this chapter
10125964
So you basically combined both versions of violet
10125963
I have to give the computer credit it never tells cheaters
Great chapter by the way oh cheese my friend keep your rubber chicken spirits up and everything is gonna be alright
Fourth tickets is next! Mike Reeves found his.
Awesome that Cheese actually realizes his feelings for Pinkie now. And I can't wait to see their reaction to Mike Teevee. Granted I liked Mike better in the Wonka version where he just likes TV and actually likes chocolate and candy. In the Charlie version he's just obsessed with videogames and cracks a code to discover where one of the golden tickets was. Not to mention his know-it-all attitude over everything just made him look like a jerk. Honestly he on;y did the contest just to show off how he was able to find one without really trying
The song for show how Cheese felt for Pinkie, i love it!
I do hope you can do same for your future stories.
10126111
More like coincidence to me. I had no idea this version would come up.
10126115
Even the computer itself is smart enough to know that Wonka has certain rules as to how to find the whereabouts of the ticket. Even if it is programmed to give the 'correct' answer.
10126114
Why pick and choose when you can experiment on certain depictions? If there's one thing I despise more than anything is having to 'choose' between two options. It may sound like not much of a choice 'choosing NOT to choose', but combining the elements into one category sort of gives a somewhat 'best of both worlds' scenario without the need for unnecessary politics.
And even as I wander, I’m keeping you in sight!
You’re a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter’s night! (Beautiful metaphor.)
And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might! (Woo! That's a little high for me.)
10126133
If you love the song, I definitely suggest the original (even though the Glee version is good). REO Speedwagon is pure classic.
10125964
Why don't you combine the two keep the Cowboy costume but still make him smart just not a smart mouth
10126429
That was actually the version I was thinking before the music video was added into the story. But either way, it's a beautiful love ballad.
10126453
We'll think about it as we go along. But first, I need to see what Mr. Enigma has in mind for that story even if it takes a few days to prepare.
10126429
I did heard it! Is very good! Classic are not bad.
I wish you the best luck for doing the same in your stories.
10126486
Thanks.
10126479
You got that right.
Speaking of songs, you probably remember the song 'Dancing On My Own' by Robyn which is also covered by Calum Scott. Now if you listen to the version of this pretty girl, I couldn't think of a more perfect fit than with Wallflower Blush. It's like you can feel her emotions sting your heart.
10126492
It's funny you bring up this song. The first time I ever heard this tune, someone in a Kangaroo costume sang this on 'The Masked Singer'. I don't know who it is, but she's one of my favorite performers (Aside from 'The Kitty' in Group B). It would make sense to make this a solo for Wallflower Blush, considering what she went through. True, her bit with the memory stone was a little hasty and irrational but I did feel bad for her. Heck, you know for a girl who claimed to 'hate' Sunset Shimmer because she only sees her as a bully and being Sunset is Bi... You wonder if Wallflower Blush actually had a 'crush' on her, do you?
But of course, if she ends up with a dude, I'm okay with it too. Just always nice to mix it up a bit. Or maybe no matter which person, she just needs someone who truly notices her.
10126500
Actually she used the memory stone too much that she's gotten completely out of control. She had always been invisible to everybody and the memory stone made it worse. Then she finally snapped when Sunset turned off the lights in the room, leaving her in the dark once more. She hated Sunset because she had gotten more popular over the years and made lots of friends. But it's good that Sunset and her friends made her see the light again and help her realize that everybody counts no matter how silly or unimportant they feel.
10126570
I always did feel somewhat invisible whenever I was the chorus in any show. I'm supposed to be blending in with the group, but I can't help but belt most of my notes and trying to do a bunch of things that would make me stand out. It's my own fault because I always wanted to be a lead performer yet rarely was I ever given a chance. At least for my involvement with a ton of events at the library, I'm slowly gaining some much needed recognition.
10125964
Yes, i meant to say that.
That's true.

Scootaloo: Me three.
Discord: We all do, my little ponies.
(Toola Roola and Coconut Cream, both touched by Twilight's singing voice, watched solemnly as they looked sad. As it happened, five sets of horse clopping sounds were heard. Then a pale, light grayish heliotrope hoof wrapped around the two comfortingly, getting their attention. To their surprise, It was Starlight Glimmer, sitting next to them and looking down at them with a warm smile as if to say, "It's okay. I'm here." while comforting them. Sitting next to her were Trixie Lulamoon and Sunburst, sharing her warm, comforting smile. Maud Pie and Mudbriar were sitting next to them as well as the rock-loving pony nodded to Toola Roola and Coconut Cream. The two foals smiled back at the five ponies before they all looked at the screen.)
(Scootaloo smiled sadly while hearing Rainbow Dash sing. Wind Sprint was on the verge of tears as well. But then, she felt two hooves touch her. She looked up to see, to her surprise and delight, her mother Clear Sky and Quibble Pants. The two sat next to her on both sides as Clear Sky hugged and nuzzled her daughter.)
(Both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle also gave sad smiles while they heard their respective sisters sing. Just then, they each felt a comforting hoof on them. The two looked up to see Apple Bloom's sister-in-law Sugar Belle and her big brother Big Macintosh, looking down at Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle with the same smiles Starlight, Trixie and Sunburst gave Toola Roola and Coconut Cream. The two foals smiled at seeing them before Big Mac and Sugar Belle got in the sofa and joined in watching the film.)
(Hearing Fluttershy's singing voice made Discord sniffle as he wiped away a tear with a cloth.)
(Maud Pie gave a warm smile as she heard Pinkie sing as she leaned onto Mudbriar, who shared her warm smile.)
Discord: (sniffles) That was a really lovely song.
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Apple Bloom: Big Mac, Sugar Belle, Starlight, guys, what're you all doing here?
Starlight: Well, we sensed that you're feeling sad, so we had to come here.
Maud: My Maud Sense told me about Pinkie's dire situation- Sugarcube Corner having not much customers for a long while, so I thought she might need me. Turns out she's right in this movie you're watching.
Trixie: And we also noticed a little commotion about you watching a movie of sorts, so we thought we'd join with you, on account of Princess Twilight and the others in there.
Sunburst: Yeah. After all, they may find ideas for whatever Sugarcube Corner might need.
Truffle: You mean you all heard, too?
Mudbriar: Technically, we all were secretly invited by Discord as well.
Quibble: Yeah. Thought we'd come as a surprise for you.
Wind Sprint: (as she hugs Quibble) You're the best, Quibble.
Apple Bloom: All of you are!
Starlight: Now, let's all keep quiet and watch some more.
Trixie: What's with Cheese Sandwich?
Discord: (smirks) Oh, you mean you haven't heard?
Starlight: Heard what?
Apple Bloom: Just watch and see for yourself.
Starlight: (gasps) No!
Sweetie: (grins) Yes!
Trixie: Pinkie Pie... and Cheese?!
Discord: (grins) Yep!
Starlight: (grins in excitement) Oh... my... CELESTIA!!!
Maud: (as she smiled) Cheese Sandwich and my sister. Who'd have thought?
Scootaloo: Maybe you should tell Pinkie about it when she gets back!
Maud: Nah, why spoil it? The suspense is what makes the romance exciting.
Mudbriar: Technically, waiting way too long can be bad for romance. Just saying, though.
Sugar Belle: But still, Pinkie and Cheese would make a really cute couple!
Big Mac: Eeyup!
Discord: Shh, shh, shh! Let's keep watching!
Trixie: Ohh, that's so romantic!
(Sugar Belle leaned onto Big Mac as she sighed lovingly while the stallion wrapped a hoof around his wife.)
Foals:
Discord: (frowns in annoyance) Why, that grumpy, old killjoy! (snaps fingers)
(Then suddenly, the grumpy old man's bed snapped shut on him, putting him in a VERY bad position.)
[Just like in this picture:

Discord: Hmph! That'll teach him.
Trixie: (giggles) Good one, Discord!
Starlight: Cheese is in love with Pinkie?!
Trixie: (excitedly) ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!
Big Mac: YEE-HAW!!!
Sugar Belle: That's so romantic!
Maud: (smiling lovingly) Swoon.
Mudbriar: (likewise) I never thought Cheese would have it in him.
Sweetie: I know! (trotting in place, squealing) Cheese is in love with Pinkie!!!
Discord: This is absolutely exciting!
Starlight: Man! So many surprises revealed! But let's see what happens next.
Trixie: I agree.
CMC: Yeah.

You know I’ve really gotta say that I’m really liking your commentary for each new chapter. Love the interactions between the CMC, Discord, and all the rest as well. Only thing I’m wondering is just exactly what kind of commentary there will be when the CMC aren’t on the outside watching, but rather on the inside when their part of the Spongebob movie

Now that's a good question.
Wait a minute! The CMC are gonna be in the Spongebob Squarepants Movie adventure?! Oh boy!!! 😁

This is AMAZING!!!!! Nice touch with discord snapping the man’s bed shut that was a great addition!!

Glad you love it!

Considering what I've seen with this kid, in case certain ponies he ends up using end up guests in future projects, he could always use 'other' characters for reactions. This way he could use the extra practice, especially working with characters he may not use as often.

Is sweet, when the others are happy for Cheese!

Glad you love that!
Very close for the big day!

I have just heard that Tim Brooke-Taylor of "the Goodies" fame and the man who played the computer technician in the movie, has died from COVID-19. R.I.P Mr Taylor, you will be missed.
