Lightning and Firefist (Script)

  *Ponyville*

  (Lightning and Stealth are walking through the snowy town)

  Stealth Firefist: I like the winter time of year Lightning! Too bad it's ending. You get drink hot cocoa, make snow angels, and be warm in a fireplace in the middle of town.  I should try that.

  Lightning Strike: You do realize, that you have fire powers?

  Stealth Firefist: Ooh, you're right. (Makes a fire with wood) There! Now I won't have to wait for anyone to make a fireplace for remainder of the winter.

  Lightning Strike: (Chuckles)

  *Center of Town*

  Lightning Strike: (Sees all the Ponies) Wow! Look at all the ponies. Everyone must be doing their part for Winter Wrap Up.

  Stealth Firefist: What's Winter Wrap up?

  Lighting Strike: (Goes up to Stealth's face) WHAT?! (Ponies look at him) Oops, Sorry. (Ponies go back to conversating) You've never ever heard of Winter Wrap Up?

  Stealth Firefist: Slow down Strike. You need a speedbump. I don't know much about Equestrian culture. I've been couped up in the castle for a long time.

  Lightning Strike: How long?

  Stealth Firefist: Eh, ever since I left my home, 30 minutes.

  Lightning Strike: Right. Anyway,-

  Twilight Sparkle: (Comes out of nowhere) Winter Wrap Up is when everypony does his or her part to to wrap up Winter and bring in the Spring! It was established hundreds of years, but it was never finished for some reason. I can't to join and do my part! It's exciting!

  Lightning Strike: Whoa, where did you come from?

  Twilight Sparkle: I overheard you say, "What?!" and I came over here and assumed that Stealth didn't know about it. The odds were Five million to one.

  Lightning Strike: Right.

  Spike: If you ask me it's a pain. I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep.

  Stealth Firefist: Don't worry I can help with that. (Sets a log on fire and gives a blanket and pillow to Spike) There! Now you can sleep while being cold and warm at the same time. Nothing more uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time.

  Spike: That's not what I meant.

  Mayor Mare: Thank you, everypony, for being here bright and early. We need every single pony's and monkey help to wrap up winter, and bring in spring.

  (ponies cheer)

  Mayor Mare: Now, all of you have your vests, and have been assigned to your teams, so let's do even better than last year, and have the quickest Winter Wrap Up ever!

  (ponies cheer)

  Lightning Strike: To be honest, I'm new at this. And I've been living here for a long time.

  Stealth Firefist: I know right? It's been a very long time.

  Twilight Sparkle: Stealth, you've only been here for 7 weeks.

  Stealth Firefist: So? It's never stopped me before. And you've been here almost as long as I have. And besides, in monkey years, 7 weeks equals 145 eons.

  Twilight, Spike, and Lightning: Right.

  *Later*

  (Group walks over to peagsi)

  Rainbow Dash: Alright team, you're clear for takeoff.

  Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash!

  Rainbow Dash: Oh, hey guys, what's up?

  Stealth Firefist:: What'cha doing?

  Rainbow Dash: Sending off one of my flight crews to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter.

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh, can I help? How about if I help clear out the clouds?

  Rainbow Dash: Um... (Flaps wings)

  Twilight Sparkle: Right. No wings.

  Rainbow Dash: Sorry, Twilight. How about you Lightning?

  Lightning Strike: I'm gonna help Twilight.

  Stealth Firefist: Ooh, maybe I can help.

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, you have no wings. Therefore you can't fly.

  Stealth Firefist: Just watch me. (Jumps up, flapping his arms and is not going off the ground) Aw, bananas! Stupid gravity.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I'm just gonna go. (Flies away)

  Twilight Sparkle: (Sighs) Great, now what do we do?

  Spike: I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be nappin'. (Pointing toward a bush)

  Twilight Sparkle: Come on Spike, this is serious business. Winter needs to be wrapped up, and I'm determined to do my part. Somehow.

  Stealth Firefist: How about you try lion taming?

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, that's very dangerous. And this is Winter Wrap Up in Ponyville. Not entertainment in Las Pegasus.

  Stealth Firefist: What do you mean? It's totally safe. All you have do is ignore the fact that a lion could eat you and will be very painful in the process. And maybe a little messy.

  Lightning Strike: No lion taming.

  *Helping Rarity*

  (Group comes to Rarity)

  Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, please tell me there's something, anything I can help you with.

  Rarity: Well, how would you like to help create Ponyville's finest birds' nests?

  Twilight Sparkle: Birds' nests?

  Rarity: Why yes. When the weather team guides the birds back north for the spring, they'll need a place to live and lay their eggs.

  Twilight Sparkle: (Looks at nest) Wow, Rarity, that one's really beautiful.

  Stealth Firefist: I know. It looks so cool, even I would try to live in that. But I can't since I'm a monkey and big.

  Rarity: Oh why, thank you most sincerely. Would you like to try your hoof at a nest?

  Twilight Sparkle: Would I? Yes! Where do I begin?

  Rarity: (Helps Twilight) Okay. Now... uh, take some of that straw and hay over there, and a little bit of branch. Now, weave them through there, yes. Uh, take some ribbon, yes, oh uh, n... not there, oooh, yes, uh, tuck it in over there, uh but be careful not to... I don't know I guess that would do... oh dear.

  Lightning Strike: Oh, uhhhh...

  Twilight Sparkle: There! It looks just like... yours. Oh my.

  Stealth Firefist: Wow, I've heard of bad houses and nests, but that looks like it needs to be... What's the word?

  Spike: Condemned?

  Stealth Firefist: I was gonna say destroyed, so it won't blind anyone's eyes.

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, be nice. That is not gonna blind anyone or hurt their eyes. (Pony comes up and sees nest and says, "Ow! My eyes! I need a doctor!") Okay, that was just one pony. I'm pretty sure that it will never happen again. (Another pony comes up and does the same thing)

  Twilight Sparkle: (Sighs) what's the use fighting it?

  Lightning Strike: Twilight, it is not that bad. It just needs some improvement and... wow, that really does hurt your eyes from a distance.

  Stealth Firefist: I tried to tell you.

  Rarity: Oh, Spike and Stealth, it's not so bad, ah, maybe birds can use it as a...

  Spike: An outhouse?

  Rarity: Spike. It's just fine. It's just a little rough around the edges. Let me lend you a hoof. Let's just untie this ribbon, and let me take out these sticks here, we'll shave this (Mumbling)

  Twilight Sparkle Aw...

  Spike: I think we lost her.

  Rarity: Ah, and we need to weave the string...

  Stealth Firefist: Ok, how about we go back lion taming?

  Twilight, Spike, and Lightning: No!

  *Iced Lake*

  Pinkie Pie: Hellooooooo, Twilight! Stealth! Lightning! Wheeeeeeee!

  Twilight Sparkle: Wow, Pinkie Pie, you're quite the skater. Probably the best skater I've ever seen.

  Pinkie Pie: Thanks Twilight, I've been doing this since I was an itty-bitty little-wittle Twinkie-Pinkie. Just comes natural. Which is probably why they designated me the lake scorer. I cut lines in the lakes with my skates. That way, when the rest of the weather team comes here to break the ice, it'll be easy as pie.

  Stealth Firefist: You make that all sound easy.

  Lightning Strike: The melting part?

  Stealth Firefist: No, the skating part.

  Lightning Strike: Oh.

  Twilight Sparkle: How clever. When the thick ice begins to melt, it'll break along the lines. Well, you sure have a lot of work ahead of you, there's quite a few lakes in Ponyville.

  Pinkie Pie: Ha, tell me about it. Hey, Twilight, wanna help me out?

  Twilight Sparkle: Would I?

  Pinkie Pie: Come on, put on those skates over there. I bet you'll be a natural too.

  Twilight Sparkle: Okay.

  Pinkie Pie: Yaaaaay! (cheers)

  Stealth Firefist: Hey! I wanna try!

  Lightning Strike: You sure Stealth? When you first try something new, it always ends in an explosion. From when, you ran into a mining field, you tried to throw a dynamite stick, and you just rode on carriage. How can you explode from that?

  Stealth Firefist: Um, I definitely did not put land mines and dynamite sticks in there.

  Lightning Strike: (Weird look) Right.

  Twilight Sparkle: Uh... maybe on second thought.

  Spike: What are you talking about? You said you wanted to be helpful.(Pushes Twilight on the ice)

  Pinkie Pie: Yippie!

  Spike: Now get out there.

  Twilight Sparkle: (Slipping) Oh no, whoa, wow...

  Pinkie Pie: Twilight, steer! Steer!

  Twilight Sparkle: Yaaaaa!

  Pinkie Pie: Oh boy...

  (Twilight Crashes into Pinkie then Spike)

  Stealth Firefist: (On the ice with Lightning) Hey! I'm doing it! (Both look a see the three coming at them) Oh, raspberries, this is gonna hurt.

  (Group smashes intro tree and snow comes down on them and come out)

  Spike: Heh, You're a natural, alright, Twilight. A natural disaster! (Laughs and gets scolding looks from Lightning and Stealth)

  Stealth Firefist: (Punches tree and snow falls on Spike coming out again) And now, you're a natural disaster, Mount Avalanche.

  Lightning Strike: Spike, that is just so hurtful. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  Pinkie Pie: Twilight, you did a great job your first time around. I'm sure my first time was just as wobbly and bobbly and crasheriffic as yours.

  Twilight Sparkle: (Brightened up) Really?

  Pinkie Pie: No.

  Twilight Sparkle: (Saddened) Oh.

  Pinkie Pie: But did I make you feel better?

  Lightning Strike: I'm pretty sure it didn't.

  Twilight Sparkle: It kinda did.

  Pinkie Pie: I think you'll be super awesome at something that keeps your hoofs on the ground. I know, Fluttershy could probably use your help with the critters.

  Twilight Sparkle: Well... I'm pretty good with little animals. Yeah, I'll go help her.

  Pinkie Pie: Uh... it's, ah, that a-way.

  Twilight Sparkle: Thanks. (Wobbles)

  Stealth Firefist: (Hears Spike chuckling and punches tree again with more snow coming on top of him) There, now you're Mount Avalanche the second.

  *Forest*

  (Group goes up to Fluttershy)

  Fluttershy: Wake up, little sleepy heads. Hope you had some wonderful dreams and restful hibernation, but it's time to get up now, spring is coming.

  Twilight Sparkle: Awww, how cute.

  Fluttershy: Aren't they? This is my favorite task the whole season, when I get to see all my little animal friends again.

  Spike: Uh, what's "hibernation"?

  Fluttershy: It's like a long sleep.

  Spike: Long sleep?

  Fluttershy: Yes. (bell rings) Wake up, little porcupines. Animals often hibernate through the winter to save their energy and eat less food.

  Spike: I definitely like the idea of hibernation, uh, except for the "eat less food" part.

  Stealth Firefist: Why? You'll only sleep for very long time. Plus, we won't get to hear your insults that often.

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, be nice to Spike. We can't put him in hibernation. Can we? No, we can't!

  Fluttershy: Oh, would you just look at all these warrens and dens? I'm worried that I won't be able to wake up every animal before spring comes.

  Twilight Sparkle: Well, we'll help, Fluttershy.

  Fluttershy: You will? Oh, that would be wonderful.

  Twilight Sparkle: Okay, let's start there.

  Lightning Strike: We've got your back Twilight.

  Stealth Firefist: Aw, do we have to? I mean I just wanna stay out here and-

  Lightning Strike: I'll give you fruit after this.

  Stealth Firefist: I'm in!

  *Cave*

  (bell rings)

  Twilight Sparkle: Hello? Wake up little friends, wherever you are. Spring is coming. (bell rings) I wonder which cute little furry creatures we've awoken.

  Stealth Firefist: Why wait? I could use this Mega-phone. (Turns it on) WAKE UP! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!! WINTER'S OVER!

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, we're supposed to wake them up, not scare them.

  Stealth Firefist: What? I can't help it if wake up time is here. Besides, this is little animals we're talking about. (Snakes come out and hiss) Um, guys, do you know any creatures that are long, slithery, and scaly?

  Lightning Strike: I think I might have an idea.

  Twilight Sparkle: SNAKE!!

  Stealth Firefist: Run and Scream! (Group runs and screams and slip off the cliff and hit the ground mutiple times, Stealth looks down a see skunks) Oh, great, just how I wanted my day to end up. (Group bounces off branch and miss skunk den and land in a lion den)

  Twilight Sparkle: Phew, that was close.

  Lightning Strike: Yeah, but not close enough. (Lions come out)

  Stealth Firefist: Oh hi Leon! Is it too late to say I'm sorry for whipping you with a whip last time? (Lion roars at him) Yeah, it's too late.

  (Lions roar)

  Twilight, Stealth, and Lightning: Oh, Thunderbolts. (Lions attack them and launch them back where Fluttershy and Spike are)

  Stealth Firefist: Well, at least we know that lion taming's off the list.

  Lightning Strike: Lion taming was off the list when we first started.

  Spike: You guys, look like you were attacked by lions.

  Twilight Sparkle: (Sarcastically) What gave it away Spike? The fact that lion taming was said twice?

  *Ponyville*

  Stealth Firefist: (In wrapping along with Twilight and Lightning) On the plus side, the hospital paid for our injuries and gave us this delicious hot cocoa. (Drinks) Mmm. Delicious.

  Spike: Well, they never had you here before, either. Think how much quicker they could wrap up winter with your magic.

  Twilight Sparkle: No, no, no! We're gonna find some other way that I can help out if it kills us. (grunt)

  Stealth Firefist: Um, we?

  Twilight Sparkle: Fruit.

  Stealth Firefist: I'm still in!

  Lightning Strike: I'd rather not step into that stage.

  Applejack: Keep pushin', Caramel. That's it, Bumpkin. I know it's hard work, but you guys are doin' great. Yee-haw!

  Twilight Sparkle: Hey, Applejack. How's everything going?

  Applejack: Oh, just dandy. Little slow startin', but peachy all the same. What happened to you three?

  Stealth Firefist: We ran into Leon.

  Applejack: Uh, Leon?

  Lightning Strike: His lion friend.

  Applejack: Okay. Anyway, There's a lot of ground to clear ya hear. We can't even start the plantin' and the waterin' until we git all these heap a' snow high-tailed outta here.

  Twilight Sparkle: Well, we'd like to help.

  Applejack: Well, I... I dunno Twilight. Lightning can do it. But I'm not sure about you and Stealth.

  Twilight Sparkle: Just give us a chance.

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah, I am not turning down fruit for this.

  Applejack: Well, I never turn down some hard worker, but...

  Stealth Firefist: (Pulling along with Twilight)  How long did I go?

  Applejack: Um, five feet. Backwards.

  Stealth Firefist: Aw. (Keeps pulling)

  Twilight Sparkle: (struggle) Ugh... (struggle) Ugh... (gasp) I could use a come-to-life spell. Hwww... Here goes...

  Lightning Strike: Wait, Twilight You're not thinking of... (Twilight uses spell and goes out of control)

  Twilight Sparkle:(Grunt) Uh-oh. Slow down. Slow down!

  Stealth Firefist: Anyone else think we should run?

  Lightning Strike: I do. Ditch the plows. (Group runs)

  Applejack: What's going on? Wha'd'ya do? You used magic, didn't you? (Group gets caught in snowball)  Nuts, Twilight, you used magic.

  Spike: The nerve. Can you believe her?

  Lightning Strike: Coming from the baby dragon who told her to use magic.

  Stealth Firefist: (Sarcastically) Yeah, Nice advice Spike. What's next? You're going to tell us to teach lions to vegetarian?

  Spike: (Gets irritated look from Applejack and Laughs nervously)

  *In Town*

  Lightning Strike: Come on Twilight, come out from the bush.

  Twilight Sparkle: No, I'm just a winter mess up.

  Stealth Firefist: That is not true. Sure you mess up most of everything...

  Ligthning Strike: Not helping.

  Stealth Firefist: You still have potential.

  Spike: Yeah, you're good at a lot of other things.

  Twilight Sparkle: Thanks a lot for making me feel so much better.

  Spike: That's what I'm here for, sister.

  Stealth Firefist: Your her sister?! I don't see the match.

  Lightning Strike: That's a metaphor, Stealth.

  Stealth Firefist: Oh.

  Applejack: Rainbow Dash, y'all on the weather team need to melt the rest of the snow here on the ground and the trees, pronto.

  Rainbow Dash: Got it

  Fluttershy: Wait. My poor little animals' homes will get flooded if the snow melts too fast.

  Rainbow Dash: Got it.

  Applejack: I'm tellin' you, Rainbow, you gotta melt that snow now.

  Fluttershy: No, you simply must wait.

  Rainbow Dash: Okay.

  Applejack: Go.

  Fluttershy: Stop.

  Applejack: Go.

  Fluttershy: Stop.

  Applejack: GO!

  Fluttershy: STOP!

  Rainbow Dash: Ugh! Make up your minds!

  Mayor Mare: Oh! What in Equestria are all you arguing about? This sort of silliness is why we were late for spring last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.

  Lightning Strike: Late?

  Mayor Mare: I was hoping my amazingly inspirational speech would urge everyone to do better than last year, but now it looks like we're going to be later than ever. I mean just look at this catastrophe. The ice scorers made the ice chunks too big to melt; the nest designer is horrendously behind, we need several hundred, and she's only made one!  And don't get me started on all the clouds in the sky, the icicles on the trees... This isn't good, not at all!

  Applejack: And it's gonna be all to pieces disastrous if we can't get our seeds all planted.

  Rainbow Dash: Chillax Applejack, we're bustin' our chops as fast as we can.

  Fluttershy: No, not fast, we have to wake animals slowly.

  Big McIntosh: Uh, AJ?

  Applejack: Oh good gravy, Caramel lost the grass seeds again, didn't he?

  Big McIntosh: Eeyup.

  Rainbowshine: (grunt) Ditzy Doo accidentally went north to get the southern birds!

  Rainbow Dash: Oh that featherbrain. Didn't she learn her lesson last year when she went west?

  (ponies grumble and complain)

  Mayor Mare: Stop this at once. We don't have time to argue. It's almost sundown. Spring is going to be late again. Another year of scandal and shame. If only we could be more organized!

  Stealth Firefist: (Idea and lightbulb appear above Stealth) Guys, I have an idea! (bulb powers down) Aw, fireballs, I lost it. (Lightning replaces bulb and light up again) Ooh! I just gained it back again! Twilight how about you-

  Twilight Sparkle:-Help organize Winter Wrap up?

  Stealth Firefist: Uh, yes. That was exactly what was going to say.

  Twilight Sparkle: Spike, get me a checklist and clipboard, Stat!

  Spike: Right away. (runs off)

  Lightning Strike: (To Stealth) It had to with lion taming again didn't it?

  Stealth Firefist: (To Lightning) No. Just lions. They'll stop fighting and hopefully survive and finish Winter Wrap Up.

  Lightning Strike: Let's just go help.

  Stealth Firefist: Right behind you.

  Twilight Sparkle: Stop, everypony! (Ponies continue to argue)

  Stealth Firefist: (Using megaphone) ATTENTION!! (Ponies stop arguing and look at the group) (Without megaphone) Thank you.

  Twilight Sparkle: Sorry. I know you all want to complete your jobs on time, but arguing is no way to go about it. What you need is organization, and I'm just the pony for the job.

  Lightning Strike: So am I.

  Stealth Firefist: An I'm just the monkey who does random stuff. (Ponies look at him weird) Well, it's true.

  Mayor Mare: I can't believe it. Spring is here! On time! And we have you to thank for it. If it weren't for your organizing skills we would still be arguing.

  Big McIntosh: Eeyup.

  (laughter)

  Twilight Sparkle: It was a team effort.

Stealth Firefist: Yeah, alone your good, together you're awesome!

  Mayor Mare: And since you helped every team, we have an official vest for you. We give you the title, "All-Team Organizer".

  Lightning Strike: Wow! This feels great and comfortable.

  Twilight Sparkle: Gosh, I don't even know what to say. Thank you, everypony.

  Mayor Mare: And hereby I declare that winter is... wrapped up on time.

  (cheers)

  Applejack: Spike's sure gonna be in for a hog-sized surprised when that last piece a' ice melts.

  Stealth Firefist: What makes you say that?

  Applejack: Eh, just a hunch.

  *Later*

  Twilight Sparkle: Dear Princess Celestia, Winter Wrap Up was one of the most special things I've ever been a part of here in Ponyville. It helped me to learn we all have hidden talents, and if we're patient and diligent, we're sure to find them, and as always, with good friendship and teamwork, ponies can accomplish anything. How's that, Spike? Spike?

  Spike: (snore)

  Stealth Firefist: He seems a bit tired.

  Lightning Strike: Yeah, he needed a small nap.

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Spike. (Group laughs)
