This story is a sequel to Cinematic Adventures: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street


The Mane Six and Spike are off on another adventure into the Multiverse, but they’re not going at it alone. This time, they’ll be accompanied by Spike’s girlfriend, Gabby and the bad girl griffon, Gilda. Together, they’ll all are transported back to the Pleistocene Era, better know as the Ice Age.

It is here they meet a grumpy mammoth named Manny, a fun loving yet idiotic sloth named Sid, and a scheming saber tooth tiger named Diego. The group must join forces with these new friends to help return a human baby to his tribe.

I think you guys should put a restricted section for Pinkie Pie where she's not to do in the near future. Oh well, at least this will be a "chilly" adventure. I gotta stop with these ice jokes...

ICE AGE! YES!!
*cough nervously* sorry about that..just excites.

This is definatly one of my favorite movies of all time. And the animation is pretty good, especially for an animated film released in 2002.

And perfect timing because I just got home form work and this was a real treat! :pinkiehappy:

So excited to read more of this

The sky was blanketed in a clear blue sky,

Heh.

Also, that totem... is that a reference to Until Dawn?

Excellent. Love how Spike and Gabby wanted to do something romantic in the TV, but leave it to Pinkie to mess up the coordinates sending them to the opposite of the kind of place they were hoping for. They all better bundle up, because it's called the Ice Age for a reason

“You’ve been against pies since you were a filly, Rainbow Dash,” Gilda pointed out.

She's not wrong there.

I can't wait for more of the story!

Oh man! What a way to start the new CA adventure! Can’t wait to see what’s to unfold for this adventure for are heroes

Not a bad way to start. Will start with the comments tomorrow.

Never ever let Pinkie Pie near that control panel again.

well, if anything, the last adventure pushed her even further down the anti-pie way of life.

“Twi, you’ve got to learn to see past all that,” Spike insisted. “Applejack confirmed Celestia was telling the truth having little to no memory of those events. Maybe she got hypnotized. Perhaps mind-control, I don’t know.”

Twilight had toyed with the notion in her head for a long while. It wasn’t possible one could simply do something so horrid and have absolutely no memory of it whatsoever, even after a thousand years. She wanted to believe Celestia wasn’t in control of her actions… but still…

“That may be true Spike, and I do believe her and Applejack, it’s just…”

“You can’t imagine Celestia doing something like that?” Spike guessed. “Even if she wasn’t in control of herself?”

To which Twilight Sparkle nodded her head slowly.

“From the moment she became my teacher all those years ago, I looked at her with such high regard and respect,” Twilight explained. “I always thought if there was ever any pony who could do no wrong, no matter the case, it would be Celestia. But now after all this, while I still believe in her and trust her, I feel like that image has been tarnished entirely for me. How do I go back after that?”

Once more, Twilight cast a downtrodden look toward the ground as they walked on. It wasn’t until she felt a scaly arm around her that she turned over toward Spike, who knelt beside her and looked her straight in the eyes.

“Twilight, you and I both know that’s not true,” Spike told her seriously. “You think the world of Princess Celestia, and that’s never going to change. I agree all of this new information has everything all upside down; I’m still trying to comprehend this myself. But we do what we always do: We deal, we cope, and move on. Once we find out the truth, we’ll make things right for every pony… especially Celestia.”

Hopefully someday they will find out what really happened and clear Celestia's name.

Hoo boy. The wendigo. When it comes to VG guests It's never someone friendly like Crash Bandicoot or someone heroic like Samus Aran. Never tried out Until Dawn, let alone The Quarry, but I feel I need to get them on my to-do list sometime. I do know some general lore about Wendigos though, mostly from other horror stuff as well as a certain Wolverine/Hulk baddie.

I get a feeling of a calm before the storm with the story succeeding this one as well as the ponies recovering from the previous story. The appearance of Gilda and some of the OCs are most welcome here. I definitely get that this will be one of the lighter stories while still having the twist that the Ice Age isn't quite what are protagonists expected. I also kind of wonder if there will be something to mix up the Scrat sequences given how those are usually outside the main plot of the movie.

great start mate cant wait for the next chapter:pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

Remind me again. In which adventure did Rarity get pregnant?

11687933
That was back during the Greatest Showman

Mares and stallions, fillies and colts, ponies of all ages crossed the streets of Ponyville performing their regular day-to-day activities. Two in particular, Twilight Sparkle and her faithful dragon assistant, Spike, hiked along the streets of town square. Along the way, they noticed everypony else bowing out of respect as they walked by. Obviously, it was because of Twilight’s status as a princess. But due to recent news of their adventures, not to mention their victories in other worlds, they were becoming famous themselves. Even if today they were just running a few errands, indicated by the sack of coins around Spike’s waist and some supplies in Twilight’s saddlebag.

“Wow! I haven’t gotten this much attention since saving the Crystal Empire,” Spike chuckled, waving at the ponies. “Almost forgot how awesome it is. Don’t you think so? Twi?”

Spike looked toward the lavender pony princess, who just walked on with a somber expression on her face. The same one she wore since returning from their traumatizing experience with Sweeney Todd. Needless to say, after returning two weeks prior, most of the group needed intense therapy sessions just to get over all the horror they experienced. Most of their friends were starting to get better, but Twilight Sparkle…

“You okay, Twi?” Spike asked concerned.

“I’m alright, Spike,” Twilight nodded nonchalantly. “It’s just… I don’t know if I can ever look at Princess Celestia the same way again.”

Who could blame Twilight Sparkle for feeling this way? The revelation Chrysalis showed them during the end of their previous adventure had been stuck on Twilight’s mind like glue. As hard as she tried to deny everything, the thought wouldn’t leave her alone. The very thought of her own teacher, the very princess Twilight looked to and thought so highly of, would actually be so cruel to Chrysalis and her first love… it was more than she could bare.

“Twi, you’ve got to learn to see past all that,” Spike insisted. “Applejack confirmed Celestia was telling the truth having little to no memory of those events. Maybe she got hypnotized. Perhaps mind-control, I don’t know.”

Twilight had toyed with the notion in her head for a long while. It wasn’t possible one could simply do something so horrid and have absolutely no memory of it whatsoever, even after a thousand years. She wanted to believe Celestia wasn’t in control of her actions… but still…

“That may be true Spike, and I do believe her and Applejack, it’s just…”

“You can’t imagine Celestia doing something like that?” Spike guessed. “Even if she wasn’t in control of herself?”

To which Twilight Sparkle nodded her head slowly.

“From the moment she became my teacher all those years ago, I looked at her with such high regard and respect,” Twilight explained. “I always thought if there was ever any pony who could do no wrong, no matter the case, it would be Celestia. But now after all this, while I still believe in her and trust her, I feel like that image has been tarnished entirely for me. How do I go back after that?”

Once more, Twilight cast a downtrodden look toward the ground as they walked on. It wasn’t until she felt a scaly arm around her that she turned over toward Spike, who knelt beside her and looked her straight in the eyes.

“Twilight, you and I both know that’s not true,” Spike told her seriously. “You think the world of Princess Celestia, and that’s never going to change. I agree all of this new information has everything all upside down; I’m still trying to comprehend this myself. But we do what we always do: We deal, we cope, and move on. Once we find out the truth, we’ll make things right for every pony… especially Celestia.”

As Spike’s words sunk in, all Twilight could think of was how much Spike had truly grown up. She still remembered the day so clearly when she hatched him from his egg and how he became part of the family. Even as he grew older, he was still the same little loyal dragon he’d always been… only taller now. The thoughts alone brought a smile to her face after what felt like such a long time.

“You truly are amazing, Spike,” Twilight smiled. “You know that right?”

“I try,” Spike grinned.”

Twilight released a giggle and playfully punched her assistant/brother along the shoulder before he assumed his full height. As they continued their way through town, they could spot some familiar faces just before their eyes. It was none other than the collective group that made up the remainder of the Mane Six: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. The five girls were gathered together, and the moment they saw the approach of Twilight Sparkle and Spike, they waved toward their two friends with great smiles.

Suddenly, just as Twilight and Spike were about to greet them, Twilight’s ears fluttered as a shrilling whistle of sorts drew her to look up. But she wasn’t alone, for the sound was so great that the remainder of her friends looked up with alarm.

“What’s that sound?” Twilight asked nervously.

“Ah don’t know,” Applejack replied. “But it sounds mighty close.”

“Look! Up in the sky!” Pinkie Pie pointed up.

All eyes turned toward Pinkie Pie’s direction spotting what appeared to be an unknown object descending as rapidly as a meteorite. It hurtled towards them, before descending away from the town, and crash landed toward a field closest to Ponyville.

“Oh, dear goodness!” Fluttershy exclaimed.

“I wonder what it is,” Rarity voiced her curiosity.

“We better investigate,” Twilight Sparkle declared. “Come on everypony!” Soon, Twilight Sparkle, including her friends and dragon companion, raced off to investigate the crash.

*I was giving a grand tour of Ponyville to the new mare Clarissa Bloom*

*Then we saw the Mane Six and Spike running somewhere*

Clarissa Bloom: Where are they going, Cinema?

Me: I don't know. We better find out.

*We follow after them*

They soon arrived at the large smoldering crater, where a large hold could be found within the very center.

“That must be where it went in!” Spike pointed.

Me: Whoa!

“Stand back guys.”

All eyes turned as another pony made his way toward the crater. It was a familiar pony whom they partially knew from Discord’s Theater, a pony by the name of… Phantom-Dragon (Or ‘Doc’ to some denizens of Ponyville). The lone pony proceeded to investigate the crash, carefully placing one hoof into the hole.

“Hmm… feels like a bunch of broken sticks… wait a minute. UGH!”

The pony exclaimed with disgust as he reeled his hoof back, waving it side-to-side rapidly.

“What is it, sugar cube?” Applejack asked.

“There’s something soft… and squishy in there,” Phantom-Dragon brushed his hoof, turning to the group. “We should fill this hole.”

“No way!” Rainbow Dash replied. “Let’s have a look first.”

“Hold on! Something’s coming!” Twilight Sparkle pointed out.

Me: Stand back! *lights horn*

Sure enough, all eyes turned back toward the center of the crater as the mound of dirt slowly moved aside to reveal… the hindquarter of a pony. But whether it was male or female, based on what little they could see it was difficult to say.

“Hi, Mister!” Pinkie Pie greeted. “Did you have a lovely flight on the way here? Because your face looks…”

“Pinkie… that’s not the face,” Phantom-Dragon corrected. “That’s the rear end.”

“Oh! I knew that.”

Clarissa Bloom: Is she always like this?

Me: You'll get used to it.

“Better check its cutie mark,” Spike advised. “Maybe that can tell us who it is.”

Phantom-Dragon carefully brushed the soot off the flank, revealing a cutie mark of bubbles.

“Huh… now what kind of pony has bubbles for… DERPY!”

Me: Derpy?!

Clarissa Bloom: Who?

Exclaiming with realization, all the ponies (And Spike) proceeded to pull the trapped mare out of the dirt. Sure enough, it was indeed Derpy Hooves, the resident mail-pony in Ponyville, her derpy eyes rolled around as she tried to readjust herself.

“Oh, my Faust! What a flight!” Derpy exclaimed dizzily. “Oh! Hiya, Doctor Ph.D! Glad you’re here. Can you help me deliver a message?”

“Derpy, we’ve been through this… I’m ‘not’ a doctor!” Phantom-Dragon rolled his eyes. “But I’m willing to help just the same. What’s the 411?”

“You know where I can find somepony named Spike?”

“Right behind you.”

“Hi Derpy!” Spike greeted.

“Oh! There you are!” Derpy smiled, relieved. “Boy, I sure made good time!”

“What’s up?”

“I bring a message straight from Griffonstone, from a miss Gabby Griffon herself.”

“Gabby?!” Spike exclaimed.

Spike and Phantom-Dragon exchanged looks, and then back toward Derpy, who merely smiled.

“Eeyup! A romantic sing-a-gram just for you!”

Me: Oh-ho-ho! Spike, you lucky drake.

“Ooh! Romantic, huh?” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. “Now this I must hear!”

“Oh no you don’t, Pinkie,” Phantom spoke, pulling the party pony away. “I think you and the girls best be on your way… that goes double for you, Rarity.”

“Me?!” Rarity exclaimed, shocked. “Why?”

“This is a private moment for Spike,” Phantom continued, ushering the girls away. “Now come along now.”

“All right,” Twilight Sparkle nodded understandingly. “Come on girls.”

“Spoilsport…” Rainbow Dash muttered.

*Clarissa and I follow after*

As soon as Phantom-Dragon and the girls disappeared from view, that just left Spike and Derpy Hooves alone.

“Alright Derpy, let’s have it,” Spike gestured.

“Just as soon as I have the right pitch,” Derpy replied.

Derpy Hooves proceeded to pull out a pitch pipe from the pocket of her uniform, blew the whistle for the right pitch, cleared her throat, and proceeded to sing:

Derpy Hooves (Sings):
Oh, Spikey my love,
It’s for you I pine!
We’ll meet at Discord’s Theater at a Quarter pass nine~
I so long for your strong arms to hold me tight!
Got my heart aflutter anticipating tonight~

By the end of the sing-a-gram, Spike collapsed onto the floor, fainting in a loving daze.

“Happens every time,” Derpy commentated. “Completely captivated by my voice.”

“Oh, thank you!” Spike thanked dazily. “Thank you!”

“That’ll be four bits please!”

Spike had enough sense to reach into his little bag and pulled out four bits which he gave to Derpy, even as he still lay along the ground. Derpy gave a cheery smile in return before flying off to finish her mail route for the day. As Spike lay on the grass, tiny hearts soon replaced the pupils in his eyes. But it wasn’t long till Rainbow Dash returned, fluttering over Spike with a smirk along her face before helping him up.

“Come on Romeo, get up,” She chuckled. “Don’t want to be late for your girlfriend.”

Spike was merely rambling nonsensically, as Rainbow Dash shook her eyes and pushed the tall dragon along back toward the theater. And it wouldn’t be long before a rather special surprise would present itself for the dragon.

<>

Discord’s Theater… a pillar of social gathering amongst the denizens of Ponyville and the clans around Equestria. The place where the television was connected to provide a wider viewer-going experience, while Twilight and her friends would embark through the portal to unknown worlds. A theater that has had it share of mishaps, tons of renovation, repair fees to put in order, and a surprising amount of food to hold in supply. This was where Twilight and her friends were hanging out for the arrival of some special guests to appear.

*As we waited, I introduced Clarissa to everyone. They greeted her warmly, with Pinkie even giving her her official "Welcome to Ponyville song"*

But whereas the girls were all lounging about in the theater itself, Spike stood by the concession stand waiting for Gabby Griffon. His claws tapped along the glass containing the snacks nervously, as he tightened what appeared to be a glittery, thin black bowtie around his neck. It had been a while since Spike and Gabby had spent any time together, and what little they had to spend their ‘dates’ were often interrupted by the random trips through the television either to solve a problem happening there… or prevent the multiverse from falling apart. And usually by the time they get back, Spike was so flustered from the trips that he’d be too tired to complete their dates. Now his special griffon was coming just to see him, and Spike was more anxious than ever.

Just then, his eyes went wide as he spotted a silhouette of a griffin making a landing by the windows of the theater doors. It was difficult to tell if it was Gabby or not, but Spike was quick to action. Pulling himself behind the concession stand, the dragon teen quickly went to work. He proceeded to take a small canister of mouth spray, and quickly pressed a few spritz into his mouth. Then he raised his arm, cringing at the smell of his armpit odor and quickly pulled the top off the spray and just lathered the remains in his pits for extra freshness. He looked toward the glass of the stands, cleaning bits of his teeth with his tongue and then tried to brush his scales back for a more handsome look… only to groan when the scales drew upright. He then reached in and grabbed some mints from the stand, leaving a few bits on the table, and then stuffed the contents down his mouth for extra freshness. He took a breath, and his fire seemed to glow blue with an icy, minty effect as he sighed with satisfaction. He heard the doors open and quickly turned his back with a message he’d been preparing for this moment.

“Hello…” Spike recited to himself. “You know you’re my best griffon friend, right? I never want anything to get in the way of that. So, after hearing your message, I’ve had a lot to think about and… I want to go all the way with you—”

Spike quickly turned around expecting the loving face of his beloved Gabby, but his face dropped with shock for the griffon standing before him was ‘not’ Gabby… but Gilda Griffon. It had been a while since Spike had seen Gilda, but he could never forget her. Like all Griffons, she was half-eagle and half-lion, with a moderate gamboge coat, along with a white head with pale, light grayish heliotrope feathers. Moderate gamboge wings and brilliant gold talons made up the remains of her features. She eyed the dragon with those light brilliant amber eyes.

“Very sweet Spike,” Gilda remarked amused. “But I’m not that kind of girl.”

Me: *laughs like Muttley*

“Oh… Gilda!” Spike exclaimed, flustered. “Oh, how embarrassing. I’m surprised that you’d even be here.”

“You thought that I would be Gabby.”

“… is she here?”

“Oh… yeah, about that,” Gilda hissed, turning away. “Actually… something came up.”

“Oh… oh, I see…” Spike sighed glumly. “Well, that’s too bad. After everything that’s gone on, I thought for sure that she would…”

WHAM!!!

All of a sudden, Spike was pounced by a rapid force, tackling him onto the floor and skidding along the surface. Spike looked up with surprise as another griffon stood on top of him. Her moderate turquoise eyes staring gleefully into Spike’s, as the dragon was captivated by the artic bluish gray coat and feathers, with a cyanish gray head with light cornflower bluish gray chin and light cyanish gray markings. Never minding the fact, he was pinned down by the dark azureish gray wings and brilliant gold talons, for this griffon was exactly who he wanted to see.

“Hi, Gabby!” Spike groaned yet smiled.

“Aw, Spike!” Gabby smiled gleefully. “That was the sweetest thing a dragon has ever said!”

Gabby practically pecked Spike’s face with rapid kisses along his cheeks and lips, while the dragon laughed from such affection. Gilda merely just eyed the romantic scene with annoyance and a roll of her eyes. As soon as Gabby leaned back to give Spike some breathing room, Spike sighed as his face was covered with kisses from the griffon. He then returned his attention toward Gilda, with a shake of his head.

“You tried to play a mean trick on me, didn’t you?” Spike playfully accused.

“Guilty…” Gilda shrugged, nonchalant.

Me: Typical.

“Actually, it was my idea,” Gabby admitted sheepishly. “I wanted to do something unexpected for you, and I just had to ask Gilda to come help me out. And besides, Grampa Gruff said I could only go if Gilda came along.”

“I had nothing better to do,” Gilda responded. “Just making sure Gabby doesn’t get in any trouble.”

Me: How nice of the old vulture, looking out for his fellow griffons.

“It’s really great to see you Gabby, and yes even you Gilda,” Spike replied, picking himself up.

“I’m always happy to see you, Spikey,” Gabby smiled, giggling at his tie. “My, you certainly decided to take the fancy approach.”

“Oh, uh… is this too much?” Spike asked, chuckling nervously. “Um… thank you, Bow. You may leave.”

As it turned out, Spike’s bowtie was actually a breezie with black wings that soon fluttered away.

I thought it was a nice touch,” The breezie spoke, in its language.

“Eh heh… let’s pretend we didn’t see that,” Spike suggested, brushing his brow. “So, what brings you all the way to Ponyville.”

“Well, you know how I often worry about you seeing you go off on those adventures,” Gabby explained. “And yet I find you and your friends have so much fun together, even with all the monsters and the danger and the people freaking out seeing dragons and ponies and—”

“Can we fast forward to the point, Gabby?” Gilda interrupted, tapping the wrist of her talon.

“—So, I thought it be nice if I got to go along on a trip with you this time,” Gabby suggested. “It would be like an uninterrupted date.”

“A date through the television screens huh?” Spike nodded. “Well, I’m sure my friends could put together a little something. Let’s go talk to them.”

Just like that, Spike and the two griffons proceeded to enter through the doors and into the theater with all the seats, the projector, the screens, and the works. Sure enough, all the girls were sitting together in the front row, chatting amongst themselves when Spike and the griffons arrived. Naturally, the girls were always happy to see the mail carrier from Griffonstone, considering how friendly she is to every creature. But there was no mistaking there was an awkward tone in the air as Gilda and Rainbow Dash shared a glance, along with a slightly nervous Fluttershy.

“Rainbow Dash…” Gilda greeted plainly.

“Gilda…” Rainbow Dash nodded.

“PINKIE!!!” Pinkie bounced in, gleefully.

The party pony wrapped her hooves around Rainbow Dash and Gilda, pulling them toward her as they were gasping for breath and struggling in Pinkie’s tight grasp.

“Look at us girls! Together again!” Pinkie continued excitedly. “Seems funny how one moment we were meeting for the first time, having a party, and seeing each other to help put smiles on the faces of Griffonstone! It’s so great to see old faces again, am I right Flutters?”

Suffice to say, Fluttershy remembered Gilda all too well… but not to seem rude, she shyly nodded her head.

“Yes…” Fluttershy answered softly.

“Pinkie… need… room… to breathe!” Rainbow gasped.

“Oops!” Pinkie realized, letting go. “Sorry girls. You okay, Gilda?”

Gilda grumbled and groaned briefly as she cracked her neck, gasping for air while facing Pinkie.

“Peachy…” Gilda answered, bluntly.

Me: Rude as ever...

“We’re happy the two of you can come for a visit, girls,” Twilight spoke up. “So Gabby, what did you and Spike have in mind for today? A nice dinner? A walk through the park? Perhaps a trip to the beach?”

“Well actually, Princess Twilight,” Gabby began. “Spike and I were talking, and we thought it be nice if we could spend our date by having a trip together… through the television.”

“It was just a suggestion,” Spike added.

Spike’s pony friends glanced at the pair blankly, a few of them blinked every few seconds. When they faced each other, they could see the hint of uncertainty on each other’s faces. It was clear they all had the same idea, especially concerning the use of the T.V., even for personal enjoyment.

“Spike… you know how happy I am that you want to do things with Gabby, and you’re grown up to make decisions,” Twilight spoke up. “But you realize using the television gets very dangerous, do you? We barely survived the last trip.”

Me: I should know.

“I still wake up in a cold sweat just thinking about it…” Rarity shuddered. “That dreadful place… the blood… the rainy streets… the pies…”

“Don’t even get me started on the pies!” Rainbow Dash groaned.

“You’ve been against pies since you were a filly, Rainbow Dash,” Gilda pointed out.

“Look girls, I know typically I’m the dragon who does what you say and carries the bags,” Spike replied. “But it’s not like I want to spend our date saving the world and fighting evil. I just think it be nice if we could go to a place where we can have a nice casual trip. Yes, the television mainly sends us to places where folks are in need or if, Celestia forbid, the villains attempt to break the timeline. But never does it specify it can’t take us to someplace ‘fun’ once in a while.

“And I can trust Spike to keep me safe if any trouble does come up,” Gabby assured. “I’ve seen him hold his own out there, and we could help each other.”

“And Gilda happens to be with you guys, because…?” Rainbow gestured.

“I’m only tagging along just to make sure these two don’t get into trouble,” Gilda clarified. “Not like I have anything better to do around this town… is that 24/7 title still available…”

“… Not until four,” Pinkie specified.

“Dang it!”

“And even if we do find trouble, I’m sure it’s nothing that can’t be done in half an hour,” Spike insisted. “We’ll barely be gone for long, I promise!”

Me: I love your spirit Spike.

For a moment, Twilight Sparkle just eyed Spike as if she were struggling to feel convinced. It was like seeing her younger brother going off into the cold, grim world unaware of the danger ahead. Even as a teenager, Spike eyed Twilight back with a ‘pleading’ gaze even mouthing the words silently. Against her better judgment, Twilight Sparkle just couldn’t say no to that face.

“Well, as long as it’s a nice peaceful location,” Twilight pondered. “I guess a half hour wouldn’t hurt. I’ll go see about setting the coordinates…”

“Ooh, ooh, ooh!” Pinkie bounced like a spring. “Can I pick the destination, Twilight? Can I? Can I? Can I?”

“All right, Pinkie. All right. Just try not to send them to any place ‘complicated’ this time.”

“What kind of wild, zany party pony do you take me for?”

Me: The out of control freaky kind?

Pinkie PIe: *frowns at me*

Pinkie Pie proceeded to bounce her way up the flight of stairs toward the projector room looming above the theater. Gilda merely shook her head, as she massaged the brow of her feathered head.

“The sooner we’re someplace quiet, the better…” Gilda sighed.

It didn’t take long for Pinkie Pie to make her way toward the projector room. Inside, this was where the television was wired up along the controls so any pony could put in the coordinates for any place in the multiverse to go. Usually, it would be toward wherever there’s a signal where a dire need for help arises, but otherwise it was possible to input a location to a particular place. The only trouble was… there were so many buttons on the panel to work with.

“Wow, these controls get more complicated almost every story…” Pinkie remarked. “Still, I’m sure I can figure this out.”

Pinkie Pie proceeded to approach the panel and slowly pushed some random buttons.

“I… want… Hawaii…” Pinkie spoke slowly, pushing buttons. “Love… Pinkie Pie…”

The controls started blaring up as a ‘warning’ signal started to blink red before her eyes. She had no idea what she did, but something was happening.

“Huh… maybe if I push everything…”

Pinkie Pie proceeded to press all the buttons randomly and suddenly a spark ignited off the controls. All at once, the projector started to shake violently drawing Pinkie’s attention. Thinking it was about to explode, Pinkie Pie raced out of the booth.

“GIIIIIIIIRLLLSSS!!!” Pinkie screamed frantically.

“PINKIE PIE!!!” Rarity gasped. “What did you do now?!”

“I’m sorry, I was trying to input a lovely vacation spot for Spike & Gabby,” Pinkie explained rapidly. “I started pressing buttons, everything turned red, the projector’s about to blow up…”

“You did WHAT?!?!” Twilight Sparkle snapped.

Me: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?!

Suddenly, a beam of light exploded from the booth and all at once a portal quickly opened up before the stunned group. Before any pony, or any creature, could say a word, a force began to draw the group toward the entryway like a vacuum. Despite the group’s best efforts to hold on, the portal’s suction proved too great and the Mane Six flew right through the portal one-by-one. By the time Gilda was hovering into the portal, flapping fruitlessly against the draft, Spike clutched onto one of the chairs with a claw while holding Gabby with another. Spike held onto Gabby as tightly as he could, as she held on while trying to avoid gazing at the portal.

As the dragon teen tried desperately to pull himself forward, the cushion of the chair seat broke apart and the two were sent screaming into the portal after their friends. ‘Where they were going?’, they didn’t know for sure. But as they fell through the portal, they started to feel a ‘chill’ within the portal as if wherever they’d be going the portal was sending them somewhere… cold?

*I pull out my universe scanner. What I see, I know the movie*

Me: Come on Clarissa. Time for your first Cinematic Adventure showing!

*We rush to Twilight's castle and jump through the mirror*

Moments after the Mane Six, Spike, and the griffons were thrust through the portal to what strange world lay ahead, Quill Cast and Curtain Call raced across the streets of Ponyville. Upon receiving the urgent call, the pair of stallions ran to town as quickly as their legs could carry them. Eventually, they skid to a halt before the local townhouse. They quickly entered the house to meet with their loyal assistant, Amethyst Star, as well as Quill’s fiancé, Atalanta, and their adopted daughter, Cotton Swirl.

So two questions:

1) Is the Wendigo going to be the final boss of this story?

2) Does this crossover come with a quote suggestion like the others?

*We enter the human world in front of Canterlot High. Clarissa is a human with a pink shirt, white skirt, bright blue tights and yellow Mary Janes*

Clarissa Bloom: *looking at her hands* Are these...?

Me: Hands.

Clarissa Bloom: *looking down* And what happened to the rest of my ho-

Me: Feet! Those are feet. Just try not to draw attention to yourself.

*We head off to the theater to meet with Arctic*

LET'S GO, BABBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Canterlot Mall Theater

Sonata Dusk: Huh, where is everyone? (She asked curiously seeing that the Theater was empty)

Arctic: Guess they’re not coming, that’s understandable considering… the last two adventures

Sonata Dusk: Yeah, that’s understandable. So then who’s going to be joining us?

Arctic about answer he felt his phone ring as he then picks it up answering it.

Arctic: Hello?

Pinkie Pie: (on the other end of the phone) Hey Acey!

Arctic: Pinkie? How did you get my number

Pinkie Pie: Well I took a guess of course (she said happily over the phone)

Arctic: (was a bit quite at first) you know, I really shouldn’t be surprised as this is Pinkie Pie after all. (He then starts to speak up) Anyways, I notice you and the girls aren’t here.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, we’re all just hanging out together taking a little break. Not to worry though will be able to be there next time.

Arctic: Not to worry Pinkie. Still, it would’ve been nice to see you all here. Brought Sonata with me, and Cinema gonna come here with a new friend.

Pinkie Pie: Aw, really? That would’ve been nice to see them again. And a new face (she said a bit sadly) but not to worry, you all won’t be alone we asked a few people to keep all you company.

Arctic: Really? Well that’s nice of you all to do. (He mentioned with a smile) So, I’m assuming after the Jurassic Park adventure you all mentioned about Sonata right?

After he said that there was silence as some he could hear some small chatter.

Arctic: Pinkie? You and the girls did mention to your friends about Sonata, right?

Pinkie Pie: Uhhh… Gottagobye! (She said quickly and hanging up the phone)

Arctic: Pinkie? Pinkie?! (He pulled away his phone) She hung up on me!

Sonata Dusk: Is everything ok? (She said worried

Arctic: We might have a problem…

Sonata Dusk: what kind of- (she begins say)

???: What she doing here!

The duo looked over and see the CMC, Flash Sentry and the Trixie doing here

Arctic: (in his thoughts) Ahhhh Hayburgers

Sonata Dusk: U-Um, Hi (she said a bit nervously)

Applebloom: what the hay she doing here?!

Scootaloo: Yeah! She’s one the sirens!

Flash Sentry: Not to mention she’s one of reason why Sunset join the dark side

Trixie: And, Trixie also wants to mention she and her sisters were the reason the whole school fought each other at the Battle of the Bands!

Sweetie Belle: Did you and your sisters trying to cause trouble? Did you put him under your spell? Was this some trap? Is that why Rarity and her friends sent us here!

Sonata felt nervous and backs away slightly getting scared and nervous feeling the hostility rising, until she saw Arctic get in front of her as he looked back at her with a reassuring look before turning back to the Canterlot high students

Arctic: Look, I know you all have lots of questions and feeling a bit hostile… but I can promise you all that she is not here to cause trouble, I’m not under her spell, and she’s a good person now

Trixie: And, what makes you think we should believe you? (She asked with a questionable look)

Arctic: Because, me and my friend can vouch for her. And in a few moments he’ll be here so we can tell you everything you need to know. (He said before he thinks to himself) though it’ll be more helpful if the girls could’ve brought Sonata up to avoid things like this..

He would looks over towards Sonata again seeing the bits of worry on her face as the both of them waited for Cinema to show up to the theater

I Wasn't Expecting Ice Age But Ok.

Future G5

Discord Memorial Cinema

The thermometer was dropping into the colder regions, it was that time of the year again.  There was never a moment when snow was never once visible on the ground or in the dead foliage.  I guess it came with the whole Curse of Hatred Unfriendliness or something like that.  Only a matter of a few months before the frigid winter season and the Big One.  Every winter there was always a consistent blinding frigid blizzard that blanketed the area in pure white snow and left me isolated inside my own cinema.

Speaking of which, I sat in one of the chairs in the theater reading a book.  The title was The String Of Pearls in its original 1846 text, the penny dreadful that birthed the world to Sweeney Todd.  Even if the showing itself knocked me out for four days straight, reading the original story was like being transported back to that time period.  Personally, I have always been fascinated with how stories weave the English language into something spectacular, especially if said story is from decades or centuries past.

I also have the habit of talking to myself.

Me: You know, it’s still weird to think that Toy Story is almost thirty years old.  Thirty years since the very first fully-computer animated feature film, and yet many people still talk and discuss about it despite the very aged animation quality.  That’s so weird, and yet it’s what the movie itself deserves so much.  It’s so strange to think that so many other films, books, and shows have experienced the same thing and have become cult classics.  Others, not so much.

As I continued to read my book, I heard the telltale noise of the projector whirring to life.  Only this time it sputtered and painfully coughed as the picture came onto the screen, except…it was the strangest thing…

"No crack—, Gromit! We’ve forgotten the crack—!”

Me: What the hell?  That’s weird.

The screen went to static again as another picture was put up.

“When ze patient woke up, his skeleton vas missing, and zhe doctor vas heard from again! AHAHAH!!!”

“HAHAHAHAHA!!”

Me: This is starting to become concerning.

“Or Mario’s Gonna Do Something Very Illegal.”

“AHH!!!”

Just for the hell of it, I walked into the projection room as the picture displayed a giant blue steam engine with a face crashing through the wall of a station.  I slapped my backhand against the projector and this time the rhythmic thumping of the electronics steadied as the picture came into focus.

Me: Phew. I might just have to call a repairman. I hope that doesn’t happen in the movie itself.

After that, I replaced my book by the register out of sight before I pushed the alert button underneath the lobby countertop as the speaker blasted “Cleanin’ Up The Town” as I rushed to meet the routine.  I placed the posters in the marque, put up the letters, activated the snack machines, and turned on all the lights in the indoor building.

I was rather excited about the showing of choice, as it was one that I knew of, knew the story and its legacy, but had never seen it fully and had only seen the sequels themselves.  Which is a downer, because I’ve heard that the first movie is definitely the best of the entire franchise.

Soon enough, the regulars began arriving at the cinema.  I greeted them accordingly as they paid for their tickets and snacks.  There were even a few newcomers coming through the doors, but I paid them not much mind compared to the other patrons.

Pipp: Oh, Plymouth! Hey! I have to say that this music is so unlike anything I have ever listened to.  It’s like, almost alien in a sense.

Me: Well, Sondheim was known for his operatic flair in his music.

Pipp: Yeah! Here you go. (hands back the albums)

Me: (smiles) Thank you.

Pipp: You’re welcome!

Hitch: Hopefully this movie's less intense compared to the last one.

Sparky: (babbles happily)

Hitch: Aww, I love you too, Sparky. (nuzzles Sparky)

Red: (thoughts) I am glad that we did not come here the last time.  The rain would have surely rusted us terribly.

Tinny: Yeah, that comes with being made of metal.

Sunny: Brr. Did you guys feel the cold out there?

Izzy: Yeah, I totally agree. It never gets this cold in Bridlewood ever.

Zipp: Meh, I’m used to this type of climate.

Sunny: It makes sense considering Zephyr Heights was built on top of a mountain.  I had no idea you guys were this durable to weather.

Zipp: I mean, I was thrown away with how much you guys were used to the oceanfront warmth of Maretime Bay.

Sunny: Fair enough.

I stood at center stage observing the audience.  I was thankful that the turnout this time was much more than the last movie, which is a given really.  And a lot more children in the audience: the perfect movie for a cooldown after the hell and back of the previous showings.

Me: (sings) Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention perlease~?!! (silence; mumbles) I’ve always wanted to do that. (clear throat) Anyway, thank you all for coming to this cinema’s latest showing.  I know how intense the last few have been, but I assure you that this film will not be as intense compared to the previous showings.

Posey: It better be!

Me: Anyway, as the title suggests, this is set in the Ice Age: a period of Earth’s history long after the dinosaurs went extinct and where the entirety of the Northern Hemisphere was engulfed in frigid weather of ice, snow, icebergs, icewalls, and glaciers.  It was also around this period that the first modern human beings began to emerge, though a long way away from the first ever civilizations.  You will see creatures that have long been extinct, and be prepared for the frigid frozen climate of…the Ice Age.

I returned to my seat, if anything to escape from the impending embarrassment.

Me: Roll film! (thoughts) And I pray that the old machine holds out.

It was a calm, chilly day as snow slowly fell along a snowy mountain range from the clouds above. A gentle breeze passed through, blowing snow across the land. A cold place with little to no life around, all… but for one small creature. The blistering winds didn’t stop him from hopping about in search of something. A small, saber-toothed squirrel with a brown acorn in its grasp. This saber-toothed squirrel, Scrat by name, was seeking a place to store his acorn in this seemingly endless winter.

Me: Oh, wow. How could I forget about him?

Zipp: Who and what is that?

Me: That’s Scrat: a prehistoric squirrel creature and the evident and reoccurring menace of this franchise.  As you can see, he’s trying to find a place to hide his nut for the winter.

Izzy: Can’t he just bury it anywhere?  Or, why doesn’t he just eat it?

Hitch: Squirrels bury their nuts for the winter so they have a good food supply after a long winter of hibernation, though usually it’s before the winter sets in.

Scrat hopped around the flat, icy grounds occasionally stopping to dig through the ice. But each time he pushed his acorn into the ground, it wouldn’t go in. Scrat would hop a few inches away, trying again and only getting the same result each time. Scrat would perform this ritual about three times, but no matter how hard he tried the ice was just too thick. Thinking this was not the right place to store his acorn, Scrat hopped away. He sniffed through some cold, dry grass, but found nothing. He peeked his head above the grass, his eyes surveying the land. He dug through some more ice, but pushing his acorn through it clearly wasn’t working.

Posey: Why are we watching this happen? There’s literally nothing happening.

Me: As much as it frustrates you, Scrat has in fact caused the plot of most of the Ice Age movies to be set in motion, albeit unintentionally. Though his antics get more ludicrous and silly in the later movies compared to here.

The squirrel hopped off, continuing his search, when he noticed the ice he stood on wasn’t as thick as before. Squealing with delight, Scrat shoved his acorn into the ice. It didn’t go far in, but at least it dug into the ground. But Scrat refused to leave it like that. He shoved his acorn deeper and deeper down the ice, scrunching it in with all his might. He leapt onto it, stomping on it desperately. But upon doing so, the acorn jolted into the ground, leaving the squirrel confused.

Sunny: Well, at least he got in the ground, but I think I heard something.

Zipp: I heard it too.

Thinking about ‘why’ it happened, a crack crept from the acorn’s hole and traveled across the ground behind him. Scrat looked underneath him, seeing the crack climb an icy wall. It reached the top of the cliff, zigzagged across the ground, passing ice formations and eventually reached a glacier. Only this time, as it reached the top… the glacier got loose. Unable to sustain stability, the glacier broke off and slowly crept down its path… right towards Scrat. Seeing what he had unintentionally done, he quietly squirmed as if thinking, ‘Oh no…

Red: (thoughts) That is big.

Tinny: That’s more than big. It’s ginormous!

Zipp: That’s not going to end well.

Seeing the glacier coming toward him, Scrat took off to run. But then he stopped and realized his acorn was still stuck. Yelping with shock, he rushed back to retrieve it. He grabbed the acorn and pulled hard, trying to get it out. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t budge and Scrat started panicking.

Izzy: Just leave it! You’ll find another one! …Somehow! I think! Maybe?

After one mighty tug, the nut finally came loose, landing into Scrat’s paws. Unfortunately, the worst was still to come, as the glacier toward over him, ready to run him over!

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Zipp: Why does he have to scream so annoyingly?!

Pipp: (shrugs) Ponies think it’s trendy…for some reason.

Screaming loudly, as the glacier drew closer, Scrat made a mad dash for his life. Falling pieces of ice flew toward him from the moving glacier, which kept charging toward the squirrel, demolishing everything in its path. Scrat kept running, hoping to get far enough away. But suddenly, he spotted another glacier coming towards him from the opposite direction somehow. Trapped between two massive bodies of ice approaching, Scrat made a run for it just as they collided and started closing in.

Sunny: What the—where’d the other one come from?!

Hitch: That makes no sense!

Seeing no time to run, Scrat slid on his acorn, screaming loudly as the two walls were closing in like two boxes crashing together. Scrat slid until he reached the edge, where the two glaciers started squishing him, locking him in place. Scrat pushed his acorn out of the way, while trying to push himself out. On the verge of unconsciousness, his body squeezed tightly, Scrat was finally pushed out, along with his acorn. Now midair, he grabbed for his acorn and embraced it, only to realize he was now falling from a very high altitude.

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Sunny: Oh, that is a very long drop!

Zipp: How high up is he? There’s no way he’s gonna survive this.

Scrat landed along an ice wall, sliding down into a dirt wall. A ledge launched him into the air again, only this time Scrat crashed on the wall as it slid to the ground. Bouncing off the dirt, the squirrel landed on the ground, his teeth dug into it.

Zipp: (deadpan) Nevermind, then. I stand corrected.

Tinny: If he was made of metal, he would be crushed into scrap.

Eventually, he pulled himself free and looked around, hoping his acorn survived the crazy experience. But his acorn was nowhere in sight.

It seemed to be a heavy loss for Scrat… when his acorn landed on his head and slid onto the ground.

Scrat squealed with happiness upon seeing his beloved acorn intact. He hugged it tenderly and began to walk off in search of a place to store his food…

WHAM!

Izzy: AAHH!! GIANT FOOT AGAIN!!

Me: Relax, it’s only a mammoth.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant mammoth foot stomped on Scrat, who lost his grip on his acorn. Flattened by the massive weight, Scrat picked himself up as the mammoth walked off. But then, another prehistoric mammal, a Brontothere, stepped on him. Then another mammoth and even a dodo bird. Soon, another foot landed on Scrat, only this time, the poor squirrel was stuck on it and was carried away from his acorn groaning in pain.

This foot belonged to a Macrauchenia, a prehistoric mammal part of an enormous migration of mammals heading away from the northern regions in search of warmer climates. They had no idea just where this warmer climate could be found or how long they’d have to travel. But one thing was absolutely certain… an ice age had begun.

Sunny: I can tell thai adventure’s going to be more…I don’t know, abstract?

Hitch: It feels more cozy and friendly.

*Just then, Clarissa and I show up*

Me: Yo, Arctic!

11688093

Arctic: *sees him* hey, Cinema! Just in time…we kinda got a situation here

11688091

Arctic: Not to worry, Shadow. Me and Cinema have things under control… hopefully

11688105
Me:"alright, but let me know when things go south".

Our heroes are about to go sub-zero!

11688095
Me: *sees the angry faces* What seems to be the problem?

11688133

Arctic: Seems like the girls forgot to inform some of their friends about Sonata being a good person now… and think this is some kind of setup by her

Trixie: To which Trixie believes it’s possible still!

Arctic: See what I mean…(he said before turning back towards her) and I already told you all Lulamoon she’s not here to cause problems

11688139
Me: Arctic's right. Sonata was betrayed by her sisters back in Gotham, replacing her with another siren. Understanding her pain, Princess Twilight, the girls and Spike extended a limb in friendship and brought her back to Equestria. I helped her adjust to her new life, and she's proven to be a good friend since then. If you don't believe that, then maybe none of what Princess Twilight taught matter to you.

Sonata Dusk: *smiles*

Behind the Scenes: Development

Ice Age was originally pitched to 20th Century Fox in 1997 by producer Lori Forte. The film, originally envisioned as a traditionally animated movie with an action-oriented comedy-drama tone, was intended to be developed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's Fox Animation Studios. 

Around the same time, Blue Sky Studios, a small visual effects studio in White Plains, New York, was bought out by Fox and reshaped into a full-fledged CG animation film studio. In light of this, Fox Animation head Chris Meledandri and executive producer Steve Bannerman approached Forte with the proposition of developing the film as a computer-animated movie, which Forte realized was "basically a no-brainer", according to her.

Michael J. Wilson, who had written and developed the film's original story treatments in conjunction with Forte, wrote the first draft for the script, and Chris Wedge, a co-founder of Blue Sky, was brought on to the project as the director in late 1998. Fox also opted for the movie to take a more comedy-oriented direction, and brought writer Michael Berg to help emphasize a more comedic tone. After being hired, Berg reportedly told the studio that he couldn't write a film made for children, to which the studio responded, "Great! Just write a good story."

Story development began in spring 1999, and official production on the film began in June 2000, one week after the closure of Fox Animation Studios. 150 employees were hired to work on the film, and a budget of $58 million was granted by Fox. Peter Ackerman was hired as a third writer for the film, and collaborated extensively with Berg for three years before the two eventually moved on from the project. Jon Vitti and Mike Reiss, both former writers for The Simpsons, were added later on after Berg and Ackerman left to further polish the script.

For research, the film's development team took several trips to the Museum of Natural History early on in production in order to make sure that the film authentically felt like the Ice Age. Ultimately, the team translated the information that they had compiled in their research by stylizing it in order to fit with the film's story. A team of 32 animators went out and did research to figure out the movements of different animals; for instance, for the movement of Scrat, animators visited a park and observed local squirrels, taking note of their "twitchy" way of moving.

I wonder if Pinkie Pie will be aware about how Roshan the Baby and Twilight Sparkle are both voiced by Tara Strong. Due to Pinkie Pie’s vast knowledge of the multiverse, it makes me ponder if she is maybe smarter than Twilight Sparkle.

OOOHHHH YES, the next adventure is among us, woot woot XD, i think i know what the totem means, but ill keep it to myself for now:ajsmug::twilightsmile:

(Or better yet)
Postwar: Ahem!!!

Everyone and Arctic looked at Postwar, and he didn't look happy, with his girlfriend, the human Sunset with him.

Arctic: Postwar? What are you doing here?

Postwar: I came to drop my girlfriend off here, because she said that she wanted to spend time with the Rainbooms, when I heard the commotion. So what's going on here?

Arctic: Everyone thinks that this is a setup.

Trixie: Which Trixie believes that!!

Postwar sternly walked over to Trixie and looked at her angrily:

Postwar: Like you're one to talk.

Trixie: (looking confused) What does that mean?

Postwar: Let me refresh your memories, shall we Trixie? Why the heck should we even trust you? If I remember correctly, you helped the Dazzlings trap the Rainbooms in the trapdoor, which resulted them to nearly take over your world.

(Trixie widened her eyes in shock and was embarrassed by what he said)

Postwar: (Looks at the CMC) And you three. As if you're any better. And if I remember too, you lot became Anon-A-Miss and framed Sunset and humiliated your sisters because they wanted to spend time with her so that she wouldn't be alone anymore whilst you three got jealous. (Looks at Apple Bloom) And Apple Bloom, I really hate to say this, but you of all people should know what it's like not to have parents, considering Sunset doesn't even have a family in this world.

(Apple Bloom widened her eyes in shock and lowered it in shame, same with the rest of the CMC)

Postwar: (glares at Flash Sentry) And if I remember, you made Princess Twilight cry and turned your back on her and even thought that Sunset was evil again, even after everything she did to prove she wasn't that same person anymore.

(Flash also lowers his eyes in shame)

11688139

Cinema Thanks Postwar. That should get through to them.

It's been tough for our heroes to fully recover after the nightmares with the 'Demon Barber', who's role in this series is yet to be determined at this time. Even Twilight Sparkle is starting to question how much she truly knows about Celestia, despite her insistence that what happened back then was out of her control. We as a general audience witnessed what happened, but until Twilight is able to know the truth for herself it'll take time before she can look at Celestia the same way again.

In an effort to back away from the stress, Spike just happens to receive a visit from Gabby (And Gilda too), and what better way for Spike to make the most of their time together than a long overdue date for two? Of course, rather than a simple dinner and a movie, they figure going on a relaxing trip to a quiet world in the multiverse would be what Spike needs not only to relieve himself of any stress but to be with his girlfriend uninterrupted. But then Pinkie has to botch up the controls and now they're in for a rather 'chilling' adventure ahead of them (Along with their friends who happened to get involved).

On a side note, apparently there's talk of Wendigo activity that requires the assistance of those mysterious stallions and their allies to investigate, all while keeping their motives secret from our heroes. Will they or will they not also get involved in the antics of a determined squirrel trying to store his food? Who knows?

11688393

Trixie: Trixie admits… that’s a fair point you have. I ended up helping them, just because I wanted to be in the finals and nearly cost out world being taken over.

Scootaloo: And we did something very awful too, because of petty jealousy…(she said ashamed)

Sweetie Belle: Especially to our on family….(she said sadly and feeling ashamed for it)

Applebloom: And I especially, should’ve considered what she was feeling. (She said ashamed) she had no one here, only my sister and my friends.. she could’ve lost them forever because of us.

Flash Sentry: You’re also right about me. (He said ashamed) I felt bad about making the princess cry, but turning on Sunset as well, makes it feel worse

Arctic: To add on too it, you all didn’t exactly gave Sunset a chance as well after she was trying to prove she is a new person, even when Applejack, Rarity,Pinkie, Rainbow and Fluttershy gave her a chance to.

They all started to share the same look of guilt and felt a little saddened.

Arctic: It’s one thing not trusting someone, especially with what, they did in the past. However, it’s another thing, to not give them the benefit of the doubt that, they have change and want to prove themselves. And that’s what she been doing. She felt sorry for what happened, and wanted to make up for it all so she can show to everyone she is a new person again.

Sonata Dusk: I-I know what I did was really really wrong, and I can understand why you all would ne mad. But.. I want to show that I am not the same person when I first showed up here. (She then bows her head a little bit) I’m really REALLY sorry, for everything. So, please let me have this chance to prove it to you all, just like I showed, The Rainbooms that I have for the better.

11688545

Human Sunset walks up to them:

Human Sunset: I know each and every one of you have your own experience from things like this, and you have every right to feel that way. But you shouldn't let that cloud your judgement. Being a good friend is about listening to others, giving them the benefit of the doubt or give them a chance. Forgiveness may be hard, but that's why it's also very powerful. It liberates ones' soul, that is why it's what is considered a strong weapon. You don't have to just forgive that easily. All you can do is try.

Massager's log
Host: Massager 32
Occasional hostess: Zatanna Zatara
Chief of security: " Dodger Dickinson
Staff: Un and Moraik
Guest: Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, Mr. Squelch Ms. Fleck, Dr. Gangle, Tubby Nugget, and General Supernova


Discord’s Theater… a pillar of social gathering amongst the denizens of Ponyville and the clans around Equestria. The place where the television was connected to provide a wider viewer-going experience, while Twilight and her friends would embark through the portal to unknown worlds. A theater that has had it share of mishaps, tons of renovation, repair fees to put in order, and a surprising amount of food to hold in supply. This was where Twilight and her friends were hanging out for the arrival of some special guests to appear.

Zatanna: " So let me get this straight, while I was in Gotham you guys were frozen in time."

Dodger: " Yeah Zee, we don't know how it happened, we saw everything that was going on in the two movies but couldn't say or do anything."

Un: " Then at the end of Sweeny Todd we were free as if it never happened."

Moraik: " Well, it's about time to star the next movie, just as soon as the guests arrive."


But whereas the girls were all lounging about in the theater itself, Spike stood by the concession stand waiting for Gabby Griffon. His claws tapped along the glass containing the snacks nervously, as he tightened what appeared to be a glittery, thin black bowtie around his neck. It had been a while since Spike and Gabby had spent any time together, and what little they had to spend their ‘dates’ were often interrupted by the random trips through the television either to solve a problem happening there… or prevent the multiverse from falling apart. And usually by the time they get back, Spike was so flustered from the trips that he’d be too tired to complete their dates. Now his special griffon was coming just to see him, and Spike was more anxious than ever.

Just then, his eyes went wide as he spotted a silhouette of a griffin making a landing by the windows of the theater doors. It was difficult to tell if it was Gabby or not, but Spike was quick to action. Pulling himself behind the concession stand, the dragon teen quickly went to work. He proceeded to take a small canister of mouth spray, and quickly pressed a few spritz into his mouth. Then he raised his arm, cringing at the smell of his armpit odor and quickly pulled the top off the spray and just lathered the remains in his pits for extra freshness. He looked toward the glass of the stands, cleaning bits of his teeth with his tongue and then tried to brush his scales back for a more handsome look… only to groan when the scales drew upright. He then reached in and grabbed some mints from the stand, leaving a few bits on the table, and then stuffed the contents down his mouth for extra freshness. He took a breath, and his fire seemed to glow blue with an icy, minty effect as he sighed with satisfaction. He heard the doors open and quickly turned his back with a message he’d been preparing for this moment.

“Hello…” Spike recited to himself. “You know you’re my best griffon friend, right? I never want anything to get in the way of that. So, after hearing your message, I’ve had a lot to think about and… I want to go all the way with you—”

Moraik: " Wait Spike and Gabby are becoming a thing, when did that happen?"

Myself: " I don't know, but he best turn around and see who's he's talking to. "

Zatanna ( Laughing a little):

Spike quickly turned around expecting the loving face of his beloved Gabby, but his face dropped with shock for the griffon standing before him was ‘not’ Gabby… but Gilda Griffon. It had been a while since Spike had seen Gilda, but he could never forget her. Like all Griffons, she was half-eagle and half-lion, with a moderate gamboge coat, along with a white head with pale, light grayish heliotrope feathers. Moderate gamboge wings and brilliant gold talons made up the remains of her features. She eyed the dragon with those light brilliant amber eyes.

“Very sweet Spike,” Gilda remarked amused. “But I’m not that kind of girl.”

“Oh… Gilda!” Spike exclaimed, flustered. “Oh, how embarrassing. I’m surprised that you’d even be here.”

“You thought that I would be Gabby.”

We all laughed!

“… is she here?”

“Oh… yeah, about that,” Gilda hissed, turning away. “Actually… something came up.”

“Oh… oh, I see…” Spike sighed glumly. “Well, that’s too bad. After everything that’s gone on, I thought for sure that she would…”

WHAM!!!

All of a sudden, Spike was pounced by a rapid force, tackling him onto the floor and skidding along the surface. Spike looked up with surprise as another griffon stood on top of him. Her moderate turquoise eyes staring gleefully into Spike’s, as the dragon was captivated by the artic bluish gray coat and feathers, with a cyanish gray head with light cornflower bluish gray chin and light cyanish gray markings. Never minding the fact, he was pinned down by the dark azureish gray wings and brilliant gold talons, for this griffon was exactly who he wanted to see.

“Hi, Gabby!” Spike groaned yet smiled.

“Aw, Spike!” Gabby smiled gleefully. “That was the sweetest thing a dragon has ever said!”

Gabby practically pecked Spike’s face with rapid kisses along his cheeks and lips, while the dragon laughed from such affection. Gilda merely just eyed the romantic scene with annoyance and a roll of her eyes. As soon as Gabby leaned back to give Spike some breathing room, Spike sighed as his face was covered with kisses from the griffon. He then returned his attention toward Gilda, with a shake of his head.

“You tried to play a mean trick on me, didn’t you?” Spike playfully accused.

“Guilty…” Gilda shrugged, nonchalant.

Zatanna: " Aww, how sweet!"
Dodger: " I'm happy for them, but I whish they wouldn't destroy the place first."


“Actually, it was my idea,” Gabby admitted sheepishly. “I wanted to do something unexpected for you, and I just had to ask Gilda to come help me out. And besides, Grampa Gruff said I could only go if Gilda came along.”

“I had nothing better to do,” Gilda responded. “Just making sure Gabby doesn’t get in any trouble.”

“It’s really great to see you Gabby, and yes even you Gilda,” Spike replied, picking himself up.

“I’m always happy to see you, Spikey,” Gabby smiled, giggling at his tie. “My, you certainly decided to take the fancy approach.”

“Oh, uh… is this too much?” Spike asked, chuckling nervously. “Um… thank you, Bow. You may leave.”

As it turned out, Spike’s bowtie was actually a breezie with black wings that soon fluttered away.

“I thought it was a nice touch,” The breezie spoke, in its language.

“Eh heh… let’s pretend we didn’t see that,” Spike suggested, brushing his brow. “So, what brings you all the way to Ponyville.”

“Well, you know how I often worry about you seeing you go off on those adventures,” Gabby explained. “And yet I find you and your friends have so much fun together, even with all the monsters and the danger and the people freaking out seeing dragons and ponies and—”

“Can we fast forward to the point, Gabby?” Gilda interrupted, tapping the wrist of her talon.

“—So, I thought it be nice if I got to go along on a trip with you this time,” Gabby suggested. “It would be like an uninterrupted date.”

“A date through the television screens huh?” Spike nodded. “Well, I’m sure my friends could put together a little something. Let’s go talk to them.”

Myself: " Good luck you guys!"
Un: " Let's go set up the theater for the guests."

“Twilight, you and I both know that’s not true,” Spike told her seriously. “You think the world of Princess Celestia, and that’s never going to change. I agree all of this new information has everything all upside down; I’m still trying to comprehend this myself. But we do what we always do: We deal, we cope, and move on. Once we find out the truth, we’ll make things right for every pony… especially Celestia.”

And hopefully, we can avoid tossing someone onto the moon, like last time…Discord.

Speaking of whom…

On the moon

Discord: (Singing) “I’m all alone. There’s no one here beside me.”

All eyes turned toward Pinkie Pie’s direction spotting what appeared to be an unknown object descending as rapidly as a meteorite. It hurtled towards them, before descending away from the town, and crash landed toward a field closest to Ponyville.

Me: “It’s a bird! It’s a plane!”

Random Dude: “It’s an ostrich!”

Me: “What?”

Mina: “It’s a meteorite!”
