Interlude: Giving the Girls the Bad News

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

(I am waiting with Derpy in Twilight's Library for the girls. Something big is going on and everypony needs to be together.)

Harrison: Are you sure this is going to go well Ditz? I know how well everypony was enjoying this format and I don't want everypony to be upset.

Derpy: It will be fine dude. It isn't like you are canceling the show after all, real life has gotten in the way and various games, so you can't be involved in the former format as much as you used to. Just trust in them dude.

Harrison: But what if they really liked the Happy Tree Friends format? The last episode is pretty much all they are getting.

Derpy: Just relax and stop worrying. That is why I am here dude. To make sure you don't do something stupid and end up killing us all.

Harrison: Hey, I am not Twilight. I do not get so bent out of shape every time something doesn't work out the way I want it to.

Derpy: Then what does happen?

Harrison: Mostly I just end up worrying about it!

Derpy: That's it?

Harrison: Depends on how bad it is.

Derpy: Anyway, you are supposed to tell them what came up and which direction the show will now head in. I can assure they aren't going to start a mob. They aren't the type to resort to mob mentality.

Dash: (Entering the room) Oooh, a mob, where are we going and who are we running out of town.

Twilight: Dash! I will not have the love of my life involved in joining a mob to run a hapless pony out of town.

Dash: Oh come on Twilight! It isn't like I am going to go after somepony innocent. I am just saying....

Twilight: No! Besides, it isn't join a mob month!

Applejack: It sure has been a long time sugercube, what took so long to get us together?

Harrison: I have been busy. I plan on having a few new guests on the show.

Fluttershy: I have been looking forward to the next episode of that wonderful show we saw last time. It feels like it has been ages since we have been together.

Scootaloo: Yeah, the party has arrived now that I am here.

Sweetie Belle: Scootaloo, don't be like that. We were called here to do the rest of the show we were promised. It really has been a long time since the last one.

Harrison: Listen I have to tell you girls something

Rarity: What ever could it be darling?

Twilight: My notes of the last episode tell me that we were about to start Wrong Side of the Tracks.

Derpy: Oh good luck dude that makes things harder to explain

Harrison: (To Derpy) That isn't helping Ditzy

Derpy: Oh I know! It makes things a lot more fun that way if I be as little as helpful as possible.

(Scootaloo catches on to what I am telling Derpy and frowns)

Scootaloo: Sis, what is Harrison talking about when you say he is trying to tell us something?

Harrison: Well you see....

Dash: Whoa, whoa, woah, wait a minute. Slow the fuck down there! Scootaloo, what do you mean by this, I thought I was your sister.

Scootaloo: You're my honorary sister. I look up to you so bad that to be the younger sister of The Rainbow Dash would cause my heart to explode from the sheer awesomeness of that fact. But Ditzy, she is my real older sister.

(Silence all around. Only Derpy, myself and obviously Scootaloo are the only ones looking like this news isn't shocking. That isn't to say everypony else is looking as if their brains have exploded.)

Scootaloo: Not a lot of ponies know that we are related. Ditz has adopted Dinky and became a secondary mother to me. She also is dating Tr.... I mean the movie actress Elvira.

Rarity: Wait a minute there darling! You mean THE movie actress Elvira. The one who pretty much wins The Equestria Movie Award in every movie she is in. The one who is simply the epitome of every fashion magazine known to pony kind.

Dash: She was awesome in Brokeback Mare!

Twilight: You just liked it because of all the lesbian sex.

Dash: Shut it Twilight, I did not.

Twilight: What was the main character's name?

Dash: uhhhhhh, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle

Twilight: (Facehoofs) That was the title of our roleplay Dash. But no, that wasn't it

Fluttershy: She donates seventy percent of her earnings to help out a needy organization. I read in an interview once that she is making amends for some ponies that she wronged and her life wasn't always the glamorous one that she has now.

Derpy: Yeah she is pretty awesome, but that isn't the point, much as I wish it was. Harrison had something to tell all of you. Something really important.

Harrison: Once again Ditz, you are just oodles of helpfulness

Pinkie: I love that word. Oodles is so much fun to say.

Harrison: No more interruptions please. I have something very important to say and it concerns the show.

(The others finally catch on to my serious tone and stop their chatter)

Twilight: Please tell me you aren't thinking of doing what I think you are doing.

Dash: What could he possibly do that is so bad?

Pinkie: He could snap and totally kill and harvest us to where we are just barely alive.

(We all stare at Pinkie in shock)

Harrison: (Picks up Scootaloo and grabs Dash from nearby. Dash struggles visibly but relaxes slightly) I can't harvest any of you. Not only because I don't have any equipment, but I hate getting messy. I love all of you and wouldn't want to do anything to any of you. (Pets Dash and Scoots rapidly... both of whom seem to like the treatment. The latter of whom seem the more reluctant.)

Applejack: Sugercube, I like how you aren't planning on killing us, but that still doesn't explain this supposed bad news about the show.

Twilight: Oh my, you aren't getting cancelled are you.

Dash: What!? We're cancelled? This isn't good. I thought I was funny. I can change! Those jokes I did in public, I didn't do them.

Rarity: This sucks darling! Out of all the worst possible things, this is THE.WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!

Scootaloo: (Turns to look at me in horror and sadness. She is crying and she sniffles) I thought you loved me. Now you are getting canceled and we will never see each other again

(Fluttershy is too busy crying to come up with a response. She is comforted by Pinkie Pie who is cradling her whispering sweet nothings to try and calm the timid Pegasus down.)

(Derpy is laughing her ass off and being completely unhelpful to the situation I am in. As I am confronted by mostly unhappy ponies of the news I didn't want to share, I struggle on what to do.)

Derpy: Why is it that you are so quick to overreact! Oh wow you ponies sure are negative.

Scootaloo: (Grabbing me as if that is to protect from some giant hand descending down and taking me away from doing the show. She has a somewhat fierce look on her face) What do you mean by that Ditz? Are you telling me that this isn't bad news?

Derpy: (Wiping a tear out of her face, still chucking) I didn't say it was bad news completely, but it isn't all that happy. Some happiness is still mixed in. Hey, as long as you aren't cancelled we can still move on right? So stop focusing on the downers and wait to see what he has to say before going around like we are about to die.

Twilight: (relaxing slightly) Okay, so what was this news!

Harrison: Thanks Ditz! No we aren't getting cancelled. The reason for this delay is mostly because taking the time to work on this and all my other projects, combined with various video games keeping me sidetracked, I just don't want to work on anything. Video games are a lot more fun than taking the time to write. The last episode of the show as well as that particular arc of the story was where we all watch Happy Tree Friends episodes. I haven't watched a lot of that show during my hiatus and to be honest, I am not as into that anymore.

Twilight: I am bummed we won't be watching any of the show especially as there were still apparently episodes that we had to watch. But at least we aren't cancelled and to me that is still good news. This is so much fun.

Harrison: Instead of that, I will be moving several things around. The next "episode' will instead focus on what I wanted to introduce later, a video game arc.

Dash: Awesome! What games?

Harrison: I can't say right now, as this technically isn't canon. This instead proves that I am indeed capable of writing. This is only an interlude. I will say this though. I hosted a contest in-between episodes, trying to determine who will be the next cuddle guest. I hosted a theoretical murder contest trying to determine which one of you would carry out the best murder.

Scootaloo: That sounds awesome! So who won!

Dash: I remember that! I learned that my friends have a fucked up mindset.

Rarity: It isn't like we are going out to do it. But, again, I must express my curiosity on who won as well.

Harrison: I asked my producer to judge fairly and they announced that Applejack was the winner. She had... an entertaining murder idea. So the next episode, I get to cuddle... you AJ.

Dash: (Grumbles in a low voice nopony can hear) Fuck!

Applejack: This is going to be interesting!

Rarity: Don't touch anything inappropriate now, okay Darling. I would hate to have to do anything... unfortunate to you. The show really will be cancelled if that happened.

Harrison: Don't worry, I won't. I hope the next episode won't take nearly as long as last time. I have a pretty good idea what will happen and what games we will play for the next few sessions.

Derpy: Is that all?

Harrison: I am afraid so.

Dash: But we hardly had any revelations in this episode.

Harrison: This is because it is an interlude Dash. It isn't technically canon. Okay, now that I have said everything I needed to say, I will end here.

Derpy: By the way, everypony, Elvira will be visiting in a few days. Her schedule is freed up and she would like to visit Ponyville again.... I mean she would like to visit.

Harrison and Everypony else: Wait, WHAT!!!!
