> Equestria Girls Revival Project > by Asher Blaze > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Behind the Scene > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After 4 years after the ending of Equestria Girls and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Sunset, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity went their separate ways. One day, Sunset gets a call from a studio. "Sunset Shimmer, do you want to join us in reviving Equestria Girls and giving it the proper ending to the series?" "Um, who’s this?" Sunset asked with curiousity. "I’m the producer from a studio that wants to revive the show and give it the proper ending that we all need." The mysterious voice continued to explain about his studio and the project. "We call it the Equestria Girls Revival Project, or EqGRP." Sunset was curious at first, but then she remembered her interview with Darla around 2 years ago. She thinks for a moment and answers the question, "Yes, I would like to join on this exciting project!" "Perfect! I’ll see you in 2 weeks for the table reading and the discussion! Meet me at this location." The mysterious voice tells her the location of where she is supposed to be, then hangs up the call. Sunset looked very curious about this project. Maybe because the other company bailed on the project and continued on the FiM series finale and Winter Holiday Special. After two weeks go by, Sunset goes to the coffee shop that used to be the hangout place for her and her friends and the coffee shop that was used in the movie. Sunset looked around for a bit, and a wave of nostalgia hit her. She almost cried but didn't due to its public nature and because she didn't want her to embarrass herself. Sunset sat down at one of the booths and started to order a large iced caramel latte. While she waits for the coffee to be ready, a mysterious man approaches her. "So, Sunset Shimmer. I heard you accept the offer of the Revival Project." The mysterious man talked, but his voice was different from the one she heard on the phone call. "Yeah? And why is it called the Revival Project?" Sunset looked at it and raised one eyebrow. "The full name is Equestria Girls Revival Project, or aka, EqGRP." The mysterious man gave her the script. "Read this and be prepared in a matter of 3 days." The mysterious man gets up, gets his coffee, and leaves. Sunset looked at the script and said, "This is... amazing! I can't believe I'm doing this again! I'm so excited!" She let out a screech, and everyone looked at her. She covers herself until her name is called. "Sunset Shimmer? Do we have a sunset shimmer?" Her name was called out by the barista. She got up, got her coffee, and then sat down again. She took a sip of the coffee and enjoyed it, saying, "Still perfect as before." Someone opened the coffee shop door, and her figure was covered by the shining sun. Sunset looked in the door's direction and saw a black silhouette of a girl. "Sunset? "It's been so long!" The figure stepped forward, and it turned out to be Twilight Sparkle. "Twi?" Sunset runs up to her and hugs Twilight. "Twi! It's been so long! How have you been?" It's been 3 years since the pandemic started, and it seemed to be gone now as of the time of their meeting. "I'm doing well! How about you?" Twi looked at her with a huge grin and hugged her very tightly. "I'm doing fine! Also too tight!" Sunset's voice became softer as Twi hugged her very tightly. "Now we can do this forever." Twilight's words had been cut due to Sunset breaking up the hug. "Okay... I think that's enough hugging for now. Sunset goes back and sits down. Twilight goes to order some black coffee at the counter and goes to Sunset's booth to sit down. Suddenly, a new figure approaches the window behind them. "HI GUYS!" Twilight, while drinking, spat out all of her drink due to being jump-scared by Pinkie at the window. Sunset somehow is covered from head to body with the coffee that Twilight drank. "Sorry. I didn't mean to spill the coffee on you." Twilight grabs a couple of napkins for Sunset to drain it off. Sunset grabs the napkin and says, "Well, it's fine. Who was there?" Pinkie runs towards them, busts through the door, and goes towards them running. "Oh, how I missed you guys so much!" Pinkie hugs them tighter than Twilight did. After 3 years of COVID and a lot of FaceTime with the crew, they finally met face-to-face in a coffee shop. "So..I have been thinking. How did you guys know about the revival too?" Sunset looked at Twilight and Pinkie. "I have known about this revival since two months ago. But because they wanted to revive EqG without the previous production, they started a new one. So our project is an independent one. Entertainment One knows about this, and they give the rights to the producer." Twilight responds to Sunset's question and then drinks her coffee. "So it's like this: one day I got a call from an unknown man. He asked me whether I wanted to join the revival project or not. And then I explained how he couldn't make the show good without the main cast of My Little Pony, including you, Sunset." Pinkie let out a grin with a squeak. Pinkie goes towards the counter and smiles, "Are you ready to take my order?" The barista looked at her and nodded. "Okay, here it comes. 2 caramel lattes, 3 double shot espressos with whipped cream, 2 starburst coffees with sparkling candy in the coffee plus a cookie in the starburst coffee, 4 cookies, 5 red velvet cake pieces, and finally, 1 extra whole chocolate cake." Pinkie grins evilly, and death stares at the barista. The barista goes over and completes her order in less than 15 minutes and gives her a smirk. Pinkie smirked back at him and said, "I think you are crazy enough to be more crazy than me." She goes back to Sunset's table and tells them about her relationship with Cheese Sandwich. > Chapter 2: The Mane 7 is back > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So I was like, No Cheesy! That is my secret family recipe!" Everyone laughed after Pinkie told the story Suddenly, 3 figures approached the door. The sunlight blocked the facial features of that 3 figures. One of the figures said. "You think you can do the revival without us? No and never!!" Then another one of the figures said, "Ya'll ain't gonna revive the series without the original main characters!" Then the last figure said, "You also cant make good clothes without the queen of fashion!" Twilight, Pinkie and Sunset looked at the figures in confusion... "We cant see you! Can you step out from the shadows?" Sunset said while still looking at them The figures stepped out from the shining sunlight and it turns out to be Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity. Pinkie gets out from her seat and goes towards them and hugs them tightly. Twilight and Sunset just watch Pinkie devoured the hug. "OKAY! OKAY! ENOUGH PINKIE! TOO TIGHT!" Rainbow Dash screamed to be let out from the hug. Rarity and Applejack also scream to be let out from the hug. "NO! ITS BEEN TOO LONG! I SHALL NEVER LET YOU GUYS LEAVE MY GRASPP!!!!" Pinkie hugs tighter while laughing. At this rate of hugging, Pinkie wont let anyone leave the her hug. "Alright Pinkie...I think that's enough now-" Before Twilight can finish her sentence, she got dragged into the hug by Pinkie "Sunset, get in here before I DRAG YOU IN!" Pinkie looked at Sunset with a death stare. Sunset gets in the hug too and they all hugged together. Sunset almost teared up. Finally after 3 years of separation she gets back together with her friends without needing to facetime or call them. After awhile, Pinkie breaks the hug and wipes Sunset's tears off. Then, a figure appeared by the window and everyone looked at it. "HEY! Be original!" Rainbow Dash screamed at the figure because it copies their entrance. "Oh sorry..I didnt mean to scare you guys or make any of you angry." The voice from the figure sounded very soft and polite. "There is a cat held on to my leg! Can any of you help me?" The figure appears to be Fluttershy. She's asking for help while shaking her left foot rapidly. Twilight sighed and said, "Let me help you silly." Twilight goes outside and helps Fluttershy getting the cat out from her leg. After a few minutes of trying, Twilight successfully gets the cat out from Flutters leg. They go inside and they all meet together. “So Fluttershy, tell me how did you know about the revival that we’re having?” Said Sunset while sitting down and then taking a sip of her coffee. “Jeez, I think it went this way. One week ago, Twilight called me and asked me whether I want to be in the revival or not. I said yes obviously. It was right after I took Angel Bunny for a walk in the park. Then, yesterday she told me to come to the location of where we filmed the coffee shop in the series. Twilight sent me a precise location of where it used to be and I was off to here from the animal shelter Then, while I was on my way here, I saw a cat being chased by a dog. The cat later came to me and hugged my leg. I tried sweet talking to the cat but it didn’t work and I had no more ideas so I just go ahead and walked to this coffee shop. Then I saw Pinkie hugged Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack tightly and the sun shine very brightly and I couldn’t see anything.” Fluttershy sat down on the couch booth and puts her head on the table. “Wait…all of you got a call from Twilight and I’m the only one who was speaking to a random guy?! This is not fair!” Sunset raises her hands onto the air and her coffee fell from her table Pinkie with full sugar rush, makes the world slow motion to her only and she drank the coffee before the coffee splashed onto the floor. “Delicious!” Pinkie goes to take the mug and readjusts the table then puts the cup down. She got back to her original place and let’s the time back to normal. “Hey…where did my coffee go?” Sunset picks up the mug and looks at it with a sad face. A man dressed with a hoodie covering his head and his face walked up to them and sits down. The man hands the girls their script for the revival project. “Meet at the location that is written down at the back of the script in 3 weeks. Be prepared.” The man runs away but hits the door and falls down. He got up and runs outside. Three weeks have passed and the girls are ready to act like how they used to 4 years ago. They went to the gate and the security guards asked them, “State your business on coming here.” Sunset explained that she is acting along with her friends in the studio, “Well, we’re here to act by a studio who asked us to do a show?” Sunset told the guard the name of the studio. “Let me check in with the studio director and producer.” The guard called up the studio producer and the director of the studio and he talked for a bit. After a few minutes, he hangs up the call, “Ms Shimmer, your studio is studio 3. Just head to the water tower and on your left in the first right.” Sunset nods and said “Thank you.” The gates are lifted and Sunset with the rest of The Mane 7 is heading towards the studio. Once they got to the studio, they heard a voice stressing out over stuff on set. “The girls are gonna be here soon! Why must everything be this messy! Charles, clean up the mess! Raisins have this on that side and everyone do their jo-“ The guy who was stressing out looks at the girls. “Sorry you had to see all of this, come on in.” “Thanks for inviting us. We’re ready to act like how we used to.” Sunset looked at the girls and smiled “Great! Table reading is today, tomorrow is shooting! And where are my manners, I’m Cornflakes! The director and producer of the Equestria Girls Revival Project.” Cornflakes puts one hand out for a shake. “Nice to meet you Mr Cornflakes.” Sunset shook his hands “Alright let’s get to the table reading room. Ready?” Cornflakes puts one hand up making a snap. “Lights! Camera! Record!” Cornflakes snaps his fingers after saying record > Chapter 3: The beginning of a new production > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first day of filming is here. They read their script and wondered, where is Spike in the revival? Cornflakes walked up to them and said, “So.. you’ll have are wondering, yes. Spike’s VA won't make a return in the revival due to her declining the offer to be back in production. So, in terms like this Sci-Twi will have to act like Spike is not gonna be with you girls. The girls looked worried as they couldn’t perform without their furry companion. Twilight spoke up, “Okay girls, this will be just like the iCarly reboot! Where Sam is not here. We can do it!” Twilight tried to smile but couldn’t because she was holding back her tears due to the cloudy news that they received. “Alright girls, dress up room now! We got nothing to lose! Make mistakes and I don't care! As long as we have fun while filming, we’re gonna be a successful reboot!” Cornflakes claps his hands and the crew starts preparing to do the shooting process. When the bell rang, they started the filming process, “Lights, ready! The camera, is on point! REVIVE!” Cornflakes claps and they started to film. Rainbow Dash said her line, “TWILIGHT! WAKE UP! WE’RE GONNA BE LATE!!” The camera is positioned to see Twilight in her bed sleeping and the alarm blaring in the background. She wakes up and looks at the clock, “Oh no...Am I..LATE?!” Twilight looks at the camera and the Camera zooms at her and her widened eyes. Cornflakes gives Applejack the signal for her to say her line, “YES! YOU ARE VERY LATE!” Shouted Applejack from afar making a muffled version to show that she was downstairs. “CUT! That was spectacular! Now Twilight, I need you to act like you’re rushing okay?” Twilight nodded after Cornflakes said that. “Lights, Camera, REVIVE!” Twilight gets up from her bed and goes to her closet and tries to find her clothes then she slips on a banana peel that wasn't planned but she didn't fall. Twilight approaches the door and she stopped and opens it “CUT! Now we switch with the stunt double to shoot the falling down the stairs scene.” Cornflakes claps his hands and Twilight switches with her stunt double. “Okay...ACTION!” The stunt double falls down the stairs while being covered by the clothing. “CUT! Perfect! Now switch back! Applejack, drink the cider. Rainbow Dash, eat scrambled eggs. Sunset waits by the stairs, crossing her arms while waiting for Twilight to get up and look at them in worry. GET IN YOUR POSITIONS!” The girls get back in their positions and get ready to shoot the scene. They get to their positions and they start to record. Twilight looked up and sees Sunset and the others in pajamas and looks worried. “Why are you in your PJs? No, Why are all of you in your PJs?!” Twilight screamed while trying to get up “Took you long enough.” Sunset giggled and looked at her. “It's Saturday. We set up cameras in your room to prank you and see your reaction when we go to college or a university. Oh, and we set your alarm clock with the note “ITS SCHOOL DAY!!!” for that specific reason.” Applejack tries to hold in her laughter and she spat out all of her cider because she couldn't hold in her laughter. The cast and the crew started to burst into laughter. “My bad everyone, I couldn’t hold my laughter in so I spat it all out.” They continued to laugh for a couple of minutes until they stopped. “Alright everyone… let's be serious now.” Cornflakes still laughing a little and tearing up due to how funny it was. After that, they shot another take and Rainbow Dash said that her eggs were unseasoned. "Uh, Sunset...my eggs are unseasoned. Sunset looked at RD and said, "Maybe make it yourself next time!" Twilight gets up and said, "Girls, stop fighting, Im trying to process what is happening...” Everyone started to burst into laughter and Cornflakes said, "We're keeping that in there! That was amazing!" That conversation wasn't supposed to happen and it was all improvised by Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie looked at them while laughing around the food bar They all took a break and then Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie go to their set which is out of the studio, and towards the recreation of Pinkie's bakery The shooting recording started and the camera focuses on Rarity and Fluttershy going inside the bakery. Then the camera changes to the window shot of what's happening in the bakery "EVERYONE! START RUNNING!!!" Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs from the kitchen and hops from the kitchen window. Before the extras and the main cast which was Fluttershy, Rari, and Pinkie could run away, the kitchen exploded with frosting and cake decorations covering everyone in the bakery. "Sorry, everyone...." Pinkie giggled nervously and the extras left the establishment. The others looked at Pinkie in confusion. Pinkie looked at them with a face, “I know what you girls are thinking, well...I was trying to bake a cake using a frying pan! But it turns out that a frying pan wasn't a choice to bake a cake. Well, at least I tried to right?” “May I ask something…HOW DID THE CAKE EXPLODE?!” Rarity screamed at Pinkie while looking around “That might have been me using too much baking powder.” Pinkie looked around and scratches her neck. “This is gonna be a huge mess to clean up….” “We can help you if you want,” Fluttershy said while looking around the bakery. “Nah, I don't need any help. This is gonna be a piece of cake!” She runs and gets the tools ready to clean the bakery. “CUT! That was perfect! And you’re right, it's gonna be a huge mess to clean up we’re gonna clean this up by tomorrow. Now just rest and we will continue the shooting tomorrow!” The girls head back to their apartment and started to chat about what they recorded and how is the blooper being made. Pinkie talked about the process that it took to bring the explosion to the bakery.
