Where's the narrator!?

by WriterForFun

First published

Without the narrator, there can't be a story. So what are the characters gonna do?

"Helloooo? Mr. Narrator? Where are you? We need to start the story!"
...
"Geez... Now what?"

Without the narrator, the characters will have to find a way to make the story without him/her. This should be a riot...

(Author's note: the Other character tag is to not spoil who else appears in the story.
Also, first story :). Enjoy)

"Hello?"

...

"Anypony there?"

...

"(Oh,wait)AnyONE there?"

...

"HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

...

"MR. NARRATOOOOOR! THIS ISN'T FUNNYYYYY! WE HAVE TO START THE STORYYYYY!"

...

"Great... Now what?"

...

"It's not like there's much to do... I mean, I'm just in a white space."

...

"There's even echo in here! Echoooo!"

...

"Well, I'm not going anywhere until the narrator shows up!"

...

"I mean, what kind of story doesn't have a narration? That's just silly!"

...

"So all I've to do is wait for him!"

...

"Aaaaand it's boring already."

...

"Oh! I know! I'll just sing a song for no apparent reason! Ahem..."

I know a song that annoys everyone

"Pinkie!!"

"Oh, hi Dashie!What's up?"

"What's taking you so long? I'm tired of waiting for you to appear and start the scene!"

"But we just got here..."

"Exactly! Too long!"

"Well, we can't start the story! The narrator isn't here yet!"

"Really!? Can't we just start without him/her?"

"But Dashie, we can't have a story without narration! That'd be too silly!"

"Don't worry! We'll just have to find a replacement!"

"Great Idea! But who could possibly..?"

"Me!"

"Gah! Who's there?"

"It's your favorite mailmare,Derpy!"

"Okay, first of all, Isn't your name Muffins?"

"Try saying that to the fandom..."

"Second, you're our ONLY mailmare!"

"Nuh-uh! There's that-other-pony-whose-name-I-don't-remember-and-appeared-working-on-the-mail-more-than-I-did!"

"Nah, he doesn't count."

"Because he's a colt?"

"Because no one likes him."

"That sounds harsh on him."

"Nopony cares."

"I do!"

"Anyway, I have the perfect story to narrate!"

"It's about muffins, isn't it?"

"It's about muf... Seriously, how?"

"That's your answer to everything, Derpy!"

"Lies! I didn't use muffins to rebuild my house!"

"YOU REBUILT IT IN THE SHAPE OF A MUFFIN!!"

"So? It's not made out of muffins."

"Uuuuurgh... You're hopeless."

"How did you figure out my middle name?"

"Girls, we have to focus! We're just adding pointless filler to the story! That's just for meeting the minimum word count!"

"So what? The editor will just edit it out."

"We don't have an editor! This is literally the autor's first story!"

"Oh... Horseapples."

"Well then, without further ado, let's start "The adventures of Captain Muffin", by Derpy Ditzy Muffins Hopeless Doo Hooves!"

"Yay! Can I be Lord Cupcake? I'd make a very menacing villain!"

"What!? I'm not dressing up as a muffin with a cape! (And when did she have time to pull out that script?)"

"Oh, Rainbow, who said that you're the heroine? I am Captain Muffin!"

"Then what would be my role?"

"The pet sidekick, Chuckles the Wonder Goldfish!"

"..."

"He can breathe outside of the water! And make muffins!"

"..."

"..."

"... On second thought, it'd be better if we wait for the narrator."

"Oh, come on! My story would be totally a hit!"

"If by "hit" you mean "hitting rock bottom", then yeah, that's about right."

"Like your stories are any better, Ms. Prism Speed, Captain of the Wonderbolts!"

"Hey! Who said you could read my fanfictions?"

"...Pinkie."

"PINKIE!!!!"

"Uh... I can explain!"

"I really doubt it!"

"Oh, boy! Conflict! Can you do it slowly? I have to write all of it to use as inspiration for my next fic."

"I'm gonna make you confess everything!"

"Uh... Can't we just wait for the story to begin and forget everything that happened thus far?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Hey! Did you hear that?" Derpy noted.

"YAY! THE NARRATOR IS HERE!" Pinkie Pie celebrated.

The narrator take this moment between dialogues to explain that he was busy with other entertainment media in the world wide web and only now could appear to work.

"You mean you were watching videos on the internet and only now remembered that you have a story to narrate?"

...

The narrator tells Pinkie to shut up.

"Urgh! Let's just start the story! I have better things to do! Like napping!" Rainbow impatiently said with a frown.

Well then, the narrator will begin.

On a beautiful day in

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...

"What was that?" Asked Rainbow.

Erm... It appears the time of work is up, so the story will have to wait another day. The narrator bids you all farewell and he/she will go watch videos attend important business elsewhere.

"WHAT!? AFTER ALL THIS TIME WASTED YOU JUST LEAVE? COME BACK HERE, YOU JERK!"

...

"Aaaaand he/she's gone."

"Great. I guess that's it, then."

"Yup! That's it!"

"What a waste of time. I didn't sign up for this."

"I did!"

"Why?"

"Because it's fun and has shenanigans! It's funnanigans!"

"Whatever."

"Well then, I'll just go and deliver more mail! Bye everypony!"

"Bye Derpy!"

"Bye!"

"..."

"..."

"So, about my fanfictions..."

"Errrrrm....

THAT'SALLFOLKSBYE!"

"PINKIE!! COME BACK HERE!! YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME HOW YOU'D FIND MY SECRET HIDEOUT!!"
