Twilight Sparkle invites all of her friends to a play when she discovers that it’s about their past adventures. However, the girls and Spike soon discover how inaccurate this play really is.
Takes place after the events of “The Last Problem.” This is based on “The Ember Island Players” from Avatar: the Last Airbender. Contains bad acting, flanderization, and a disappointed original cast.
Oh my goodness this is so funny. I really enjoyed it. Who would’ve thought Spike was such a troll. I also enjoyed all the little jokes and ships you had sprinkled around. Great job
You’re never letting them live this one down, Spike?
Are you trolling me, Spike? ARE YOU?!
It made me laugh especially with the flanderization of each ponies with Mane Six and Spike being embarrassed of their portrayal.
Especially Applejack’s exaggerated southern accent, Rainbow Dash using outdated slangs and Rarity keep using "Darling" a lot.
Also, what the heck is 411? Seriously?
Great job! :)
The Gala was basically accurate at least.
This was by far my favorite ATLA episode despite it being just before the series finale; but hey at least it was better than an annoying clip show. Sure it was that way with TLOK ... but at least it was saved by Varrick's wacky version of his perspective.
Also who could ever forget Toph's expression:

my only regret is they didn't have some romance that pissed off the mane six like having rainbow dash in love with zephyr or applejack and one of the flim flam brothers etc

Considering most of the fandom's views on Sparity which is featured in this fic, that's good enough. ......Oh, you mean in the play? Eh, some missed opportunities are bound to happen.

It's a 90s slang term for "What's going on?"

Oh! Thank you!
Yup, like Rainbow Dash said, that slang along with Home Skillet and Da Bomb are definitely outdated.
Dang, surprised this wasn't on "Top Stories" or whatever. This is true comedy at it's best!
I do love a good Ember Island Players scenario. This was a fairly basic treatment of the concept, but still quite fun. Though I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see the script butcher Equestria Girls, to say nothing of Sunset's reaction to it. That said, the end gag was funnier than it had any right to be. Quite good work, all told.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This is such a good idea for a fic lol
NOOOOOO!
Liked the story, though.
SPIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Almost?
Wait, they had to do that together?
Debatable
What does that look like?
Ok, now that’s funny.
Yea, so do husbands and wives.
Isn’t there a spell for that? Or was the budget not big enough?
What does that mean?
That actually makes sense.
Well, at least she admits it.
Imagine getting advice from the person your playing and not realize it.
Wow
Are we sure this is pinkie pie’s child?
That’s exactly what I’m hoping.
Facts
Why?
I guess that’s how it works.
I wouldn’t put it past her.
Thinking back on it, that does sound stupid.
How many actors do the know that age?
Don’t you mean the fake one?
Omg, that is amazing.
Actually I think it just changes the original timeline but that’s just my opinion.
That’s right be ashamed.
sigh. . . Yes she would be heartbroken, but so has everyone in the history of forever who has lost a beloved pet or relative! So has Celestia and Luna many times during their 1000yr+ lifespan! In any case, an emotionally mature person would learn to COPE with the loss and move on.* And Twilight would have to as well if she outlived her friends.
*(And to those less mature, that they have others to help them through. . .)
I can see Twilight wanting to seek and secure immortality for herself, her friends, and eventually everyone, if possible. And I can see Celestia and Luna having worked on that too over the centuries, and thus they wouldn't hinder immortality from Twilight if they could help it.
To those with objections to the idea of immortality for whatever reason, I'll lead you to this article and hopefully it'll relieve them for good. . . https://rhjunior.livejournal.com/592763.html
One corny coincidence after another, looks like the play was spot on to me.
Don't think no one noticed that little reference to the Discord song here.
Mane Six making commentary on Pony Life episodes confirmed?
Y'know, that's actually a good point
Hilarious comedy filled desaster. Pretty good cringe filled laughter. Poor mane six plus Spike.
At least in Fimfiction the villains had good stories, especially Chrysalis and Sombra who on occasion become main characters.

Guess Spike kinda pranked his old friends.
