> Ask the Ponies > by ThatCactusPony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Episode 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Welcome to, Ask The Ponies! I'm your host, Sketch." A white unicorn with bright orange eyes and a mane with different shades of green walked onto the stage. "And this is my co-host, and super awesome BFF, Desert Flower. But we call her Cactus for short. A dark green pony with red eyes and short pink hair followed the host. She ran past her and stood in front of the crowd. "What's up everypony?!" The crowd went wild. "Ahem..." Sketch was sitting in a plush chair. She signaled Cactus to sit in the one beside her. "Oh right. Sorry" The earth pony trotted over and sat in the chair. She sunk down a little with it's comfy-ness. Sketch sat back in the chair and looked into the camera. "Anyways, welcome to our studio, filming live from the city of Fillydelphia. So, most of you remember us from 'Late Nights with Sketch and Cactus'. And you were all devastated when the show got cancelled." "So very devastated." Cactus added. "Well, as you can see, we're back!" The crowd roared once more. "Ok, ok, settle down. Well, let me and my friend here let you know what's up. We're doing a talk show, where we interview ponies." "Yup" Cactus was still slouched in the chair. "All over Equestria, we pick ponies to come to our show, and we interview them. However, we won't be asking all of the questions." Sketch said. "We're going to let you send in questions and even dares for us to do on the show! Then, the author will write more episodes" Cactus breaks the fourth wall and waves to the Admin. Admin smiled and waved back at her OCs. "Now, after this episode, the operators shall be standing by and our comment box will be open. We will ask a few questions per episode. We will even put you name to credit you for your question or dare ." Sketch continued to talk. "If you would like to send in a question, put the name or names of the ponies you want us to ask. You can even request just an interview with a specific pony." "Like for instance" Sketch's horn glowed with a bright orange aura. Sparkles appeared on the yellow couch. Suddenly, with a bright blast, a pony appeared. She was purple with pinkish-purple hair. "Whoa... W-where am I? The mare looked around in confusion. "Welcome to Fillydelphia. Your on Ask a Pony. We sometimes call or let you know in advance when we want somepony on the show, but this is our first episode and your our first contestant." Cactus explained briefly. "Ooohhhhh I know you guys. Your from that show, 'Late Nights with Sketch and Cactus'" "Oh so I take it your a fan?" "Ugh, sure I guess" "Ok, so what's your name?" Sketch pushed the microphone over to the guest. "Berrypunch" She said into the microphone. "Where are you from?" "Ponyville" "Ok, so we're going to ask you a question or two.... " "Alright, sure" "We've heard many rumors about this, but tell us... Do you really drink wine....alot?" Cactus asked. "um... Um.....um.... Why do you....um... Why do you ask?" Berrypunch stuttered. "Answer the question. Is it an addiction?" The green mare pressed. "Well I wouldn't say addiction but..." "Next question" Sketch interrupted. "So, are you seeing anypony? Like, dating?" "No, not at the moment. But I do have my eye on somepony...." Berrypunch rubbed her neck in embarrassment. "Who is it?" Sketch leaned forward. "Well her name is Colga....I mean" Berry's ears flattened and her face turned bright red. "I didn't mean... well... oh I hope she isn't watching...." "Ok, that's enough Berrypunch. You may leave" Sketch's horn glowed orange again. Berrypunch disappeared as fast as she appeared. "Well, that was interesting" "Now, here's a word from our sponsors" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Want a tasty treat but don't know where to go? Head on down to Sugar Cube Corner to pick up Pinkie's famous cupcakes! Many flavors and colors. They're super tasty and they are DEFINETLY not made of ponies...............heh...... So come on down!! And remember, don't struggle when your number's up... To get cupcakes!!!! Erm...." --- "Need to get a good WORK OUT?!?!?? Well, trot or fly on down to Bulk Biceps's Gym, where you'll go from saying, 'noooo...' To saying, YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH'. Whether you wanna flex your wings, get a rad six pack, or just punch stuff, come down to the Gym, located in Cloudsdale." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Well looks like we're almost out of time for todays episode" Sketch realized. "Remember, our life depends on this show. So, if we don't get questions, will get cancelled again. Well, the Admin could always do it herself, but she isn't creative at all and she can't come up with any unique ideas." Cactus said. "Hey, I can easily delete you from this story, Desert Flower! I am your god. Do you really want Hex to take over for you?" The author boomed. "Alright, I'm sorry, sheesh...." Cactus facehoofed. "Ok, that's all the time for this episode! Our comment box is now open and operators are standing by!" Sketch waved at the crowd. Once again, they cheered. "See you on the next episode! We hope to see our show not get cancelled"
