> The Rocky Horror Pony Show > by Fonzie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The late night double feature picture show > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When it comes to the night, you'd usually expect people having a night on the town or doing some last minute shopping for an anniversary they remembered at the last minute. But this wasn't the case here, for a long line of ponies, griffons, hippogriffs, and other creatures were lined up in front of the largest theater in equestria, waiting for tonight's midnight movie. Some carried an odd assortment of things instead of the usual food and drinks they'd sneak in, others wore rather odd costumes, sometimes it would be both. "I can't wait for the show to begin." Pinkie Pie said to her friends. "I've been waiting for this for a long time." Said Zephyr Breeze, not trying to flirt with Rainbow Dash for once, which was a relief. "I hope the kids are OK being home alone." Mr. Cake said to his wife, who gave him a pat on the back, as long as they got what they came for, it would be worth it. "It's almost showtime, brace yourselves!" Inside the theater, the employees scattered about, doing this and that to get ready for the impending swarm of fans that gathered here today. Among these employees was the "great and powerful Trixie", she would work at the theater on weekends when she wasn't touring or working at the school of friendship. She was walking around the theater, making sure that everything was in order before the show began, all the awhile singing to herself. Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still But he told us where we stand And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear Claude Raines was the invisible man Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong They got caught in a celluloid jam Then at a deadly pace it came from outerspace And this is how the message ran She shot one last look at the theater, knowing that a huge mess would befall the place. Everything seemed to be perfect. Science Fiction, double-feature Dr X will build a creature See Androids fighting Brad and Janet Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, at the late night Double Feature, Picture Show Near the second verse, the doors opened, and the lobby was immediately swamped with eager fans, some bought food and drinks, while others pushed and shoved their way into the theater trying to get the best seats for the show. Thankfully, Trixie didn't get caught in the sea of fans. Thanks to her magic, she was able to levitate herself above the crowd. I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel When Tarantula took to the hills And I really got hot when I saw Jeanette Scott Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills Dana Andrews said prunes give him the runes And passing them used lots of skills And when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills She proceeded to float all the way to a door that read "EMPLOYEES ONLY", and walked in, for that was her job, projecting the movie of the week, or this case midnight, to the audience.

By R.K.O., oh-oh-oh-oh-oh To the late night Double Feature Picture Show She found the reel she was looking for, and proceeded to set everything up perfectly, it had to be if the show was to be for the audience's liking. in the back row oh-oh-oh-oh-oh To the late night Double Feature Picture Show When she finished, Trixie looked out at the crowd to make sure evey creature was seated before she could start the film, sure enough they were chatting amongst themselves. She looked at her watch, it was going to be midnight in 5... 4... 3... 2... The sound of a grandfather clock tolling resounded throughout the theater, and every creature immediately went silent. For the show was about to begin. THE ROCKY HORROR PONY SHOW The crowd roared and cheered in excitement as the title came up. STARRING ANGEL DUST AS DR. FRANK-N-FURTER (A SCIENTIST) "I always thought he only does adult films in the underworld." Said a pony named Rob, "I guess I was wrong." SWEETIE BELLE AS JANET WEISS (A HEROINE) "I believe her sister starred in a stage production of this show." Fleur de lis said. Thats right, even the upper class ponies enjoy the show. BUTTON MASH AS BRAD MAJORS (A HERO) "I told my son to do something other than sitting around all day playing video games." Button's mom said, "I didn't think he'd do this." DYLAN DALMATIAN AS RIFF-RAFF (A HANDYMAN) "I've actually seen him and his family on T.V, it's really crazy." Sandbar said to his friends. DOLLY DALMATIAN AS MAGENTA (A DOMESTIC) "You know that kind of makes sense." Sandbar continued, "After all the two are brother and sister." MEG GRIFFIN AS COLUMBIA (A GROUPIE) No one commented on meg appearing in the movie, they just didn't like her. How she even got the role was anyone's guess. DOCTOR WHOOVES AND DERPY HOOVES AS DR. EVERETT V. SCOTT AND HIS COMPANION (A SCIENTIST AND A TAG ALONG) The pony named Rob was confused, "I don't think the doctor had a-" "He insisted on working with her on the movie for some reason." His friend Steve said. JOHNNY BRAVO AS ROCKY HORROR (A CREATION) "Hey Rarity, isn't that the name is the guy that continuously flirts with you?" Pinkie asked. "Yes, and I threatened to call the authorities if he continued to do so." Rarity told her. FEATHER BANGS AS EDDIE (EX-DELIVERY BOY) "So this is what he was doing out of town." One of feather's backup dancers said. SHINING ARMOR AS THE CRIMINOLOGIST (AN EXPERT) "I didn't know he worked on this." Twilight said in shock. The crowd remained silent for now as the rest of the credits rolled. > The Wedding > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Church bells rang as the new bride and groom left the chapel along with their guests. Bits of confetti flew in the air as the group gathered round for a photo. Photo Finish stood in front saying how beautiful the shot was. Rumble turned towards Button Mash as they walked away from the crowd. “Well I finally did it!” He said bumping his friend on the shoulder. “Oh come on, we all knew it was going to happen, you and Scootaloo have been inseparable since you met in Doctor Whooves’ refresher classes.” “Well to tell you the truth Button, she was the only reason I went in the first place.” Rumble said chuckling. Suddenly a high pitched squeal came from behind as the bride announced she was going to throw her bouquet. All the mares held their hooves in the air as the bride turned and threw the flowers behind. The flowers soared through the air before landing in Sweetie Belle's hooves. “I got it! I got it!” She cheered holding the flowers jumping up and down. Rumble watched with an amused smile on his face. “hey, hey, looks like it could be your turn next.” He said chuckling. Button looked down nervously. “Yeah.. hehe, who knows, it could be.” Rumble turned as a car pulled up beside with the words ‘WAIT TILL TONITE’ painted along the side in white. Button raised a fore hoof underneath his muzzle in thought as Rumble got into the car. The car pulled away with the crowd following behind cheering. Button waved as it drove off. “Oh Button wasn’t it wonderful? Didn’t the bride look radiantly beautiful? Oh I can’t believe an hour ago she was just plain old Scootaloo but now… Now she’s a happily married pegasus.” Cadence said. The two proceeded to walk through the neighboring cemetery, “Yes Sweetie Belle, Rumble’s a lucky guy.” “Yes.” “And everyone else knows that Rumble is a wonderful little cook.” “Yes.” “Why, I bet Rumble will be running a restaurant himself pretty soon.” “Yes.” While they were walking something came to his mind, a thought that had been made through his chat with Rumble. And decided "now's the time." "Hey, Sweetie Belle." Sweetie turned to him, "Yes Button?" Button knew there was no turning back now "I really love the skillful way, you beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet." Sweetie Belle giggled sweetly at this, but it was clear he wasn't finished. nearby Maud and Mudbriar watched with their signature unamused looks on their faces. The river was deep but I swam it (Janet) The future is ours so let's plan it (Janet) So please don't tell me to can it (Janet) I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you Sweetie Belle was honestly feeling giddy about this. She had no idea why he was singing, but she brushed it off, since it was a common thing in their hometown. The road was long but I ran it (Janet) There's a fire in my heart and you fan it (Janet) If there's one fool for you then I am it (Janet) I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you Button knelt down and pulled out something that made her gasp. Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker There's three ways that love can grow That's good, bad or mediocre Oh J-A-N-E-T I love you so Sweetie Belle was so happy about this, she found herself singing along. Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had (oh Brad) Now we're engaged and I'm so glad (oh Brad) That you've met mum and you know dad (oh Brad) I've one thing to say and that's Brad I'm mad for you too Now it was Button's turn to be happy, he was about to be married to the one girl he loved since he met her. Oh, Brad Oh, dammit I'm mad Oh, Janet For you I love you too The two made their way to Button's minivan, after all... There's one thing left to do and that's go see the man who began it (Janet) When we met in his science exam-it (Janet) Made me give you the eye and then panic (Janet) Now I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you They got in and drove off, eager to meet their old friend before they can tie the knot. Dammit, Janet Oh Brad, I'm mad Dammit Janet I love you Shining Armor was in what appears to be his office, looking at the wedding’s group photo. He suddenly looks up and says “I would like, if I may… To take you on a strange journey.” He gets to his hooves before walking over to a tall bookshelf and pulling out a black leather tome with gold embroidery. He opens it, then starts leafing through the pages before reaching one with Button's face on it. On the opposite page was a yellow document with the word ‘STATEMENT’ written at the top. a similar set of pages was one the other side but with a picture of Sweetie Belle. “It seemed a very ordinary night when Button Mash and his fiancée Sweetie Belle, two young ordinary healthy ponies, left Ponyville one late November evening, to visit a Derpy and Doctor Whooves ex tutors, now friends to the both of them.” He finishes turning the page showing another picture of a brown earth pony and a gray cross-eyed pegasus and outside of what appeared to be a blue police box. “It’s true there were dark storm clouds… Heavy, black and perilous toward which they were traveling. It’s true also that the spare wheel for their minivan was badly in need of repair. But them being normal kids, and on a night out… Well, they weren’t going to let a storm spoil the events of their evening. It was a night out." His face suddenly turn into that of seriousness. "It was a night they were going to remember for a very Long Time." > The Light At The Frankenstein Place > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Button Mash and Sweetie Belle sat in their car. Shining drove as Cadence read the newspaper and the radio played softly in the background as Princess Celestia delivered a speech. Rain was falling heavily and the wipers had to be on maximum for Button to be able to see clearly. Suddenly a loud roar was heard and a motorcycle sped past. “Gosh, that’s the third motorcycle we’ve seen tonight! Some must really like to take their lives into their hands what with the weather.” Sweetie Belle exclaimed. “Yes, life’s pretty cheap for that type.” Button said cynically. Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, before noticing that the car was slowing down, “What’s wrong?” She asked. “We must have taken a wrong turning at some point.” He replied, gesturing towards the dead end sign in-front of the car. “Well where did that motorcycle come from then?” Sweetie Belle. Button shrugged in response. “Hm, well I guess we’ll just have to turn back.” He said, shifting the carriage into reverse. The carriage moved back a few feet before a loud, ear piercing bang was heard. Sweetie Belle jumped in shock as Button moved a fore hoof in front of her protectively. "What was that bang?!” she exclaimed. “Must have broken a spoke.” Button reasoned. He hit the steering wheel. “Damn it I knew I should have gotten that spare wheel fixed.” He turned to get out. “You just stay here in the warm and I’ll go look for some help.” He told her. “Where will you go in the middle of no-where?” Sweetie Belle asked. Button pondered for a minuet sticking his tongue out in thought. “Didn’t we pass a castle a few miles back?” he asked rhetorically. Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to respond before Button spoke. “Maybe they have a telephone we could use!” Sweetie Belle moved to get out. “I’m coming with you.” She said firmly. Button put a forehoof on her shoulder. “Oh come on now, there’s no sense in both of us getting wet.” He reasoned. “I’m coming with you!” she demanded again. Button sighed in defeat powering down the car “Besides, the owner of that building may be a beautiful woman and you may never come back to me again.” she said jokingly. Button laughed in response as they got out, Sweetie Belle levitating the newspaper over her head as they left. As they walked off Button kicked the broken wheel with a hoof. Thunder cracked across the sky. As they approached the castle, the pair was met with a tall spiked iron gate. On it was a white sign with the words ‘Enter at your own risk!!’ painted on it. The two looked at each other, shrugging as they squeezed through the gate. In the velvet darkness Of the blackest night Burning bright There's a guiding star No matter what Or who you are The two continued walking down the path, until they finally saw the very building they were looking for. There's a light Over at the Frankenstein Place There's a light Burning in the fireplace There's a light, light In the darkness of everybody's life The couple approached the castle, praying to Celestia that they have a telephone inside. And if not, they could seek shelter from the storm. Unbeknownst to them, in the room where the light was coming from, there was a male dalmatian watching them with intent. The darkness must go Down the river Of nights dreaming Flow Morphia slow Let the sun and light comes streaming Into my life, into my life Seeing the two ponies approach the front door the dalmatian walked out of the room to perform his usual duty. There's a light Over at the Frankenstein Place There's a light Burning in the fireplace There's a light, a light In the darkness of everybody's life Shining Armour was now in a room with maps, with the one he was currently looking at marking where the carriage broke down, where the castle was and where Dr. Whooves and Derpy lived. “It seemed that fortune had smiled on Button Mash and Sweetie Belle that they had found the assistance that their plight required… or had they?”
