Lightning and Firefist (Script)

*Outside Lightning's House in Ponyville*

  Lightning Strike: Come on Stealth! It's just a visit!

  Stealth Firefist: (Clinging onto the door) Never! She'll just put me in the monkey cage!

  Lightning Strike: You're being ridiculous Stealth! She does not own a monkey cage! (Twilight and Applejack arrive at the house)

  Twilight Sparkle: Um, hi Lightning.

  Lightning Strike: Oh, hi girls. Can you give me hoof with Stealth? He's not budging. (Tries to pull Stealth with his magic)

  Stealth Firefist: Never! I don't wanna go to the Boutique! Like I said, She'll put me in the monkey cage! Twilight, AJ prove my point.

  Twilight and Applejack: Uh...

  Stealth Firefist: See? I'll never go Lightning. No matter how much fruit you give me!

  Lightning Strike: Oh, well in that case I heard Rarity keeps a top secret fruit stash that no one but me, our friends or Rarity knows.

  Stealth Firefist: What?!

  Applejack: Uh, she owns a top secret fruit stash? (Lightning makes a glare to go along with it) Oh, yes she does. You should come with us right away.

  Stealth Firefist: Well, why didn't you tell me before?! Let's go! (Runs off)

  Twilight Sparkle: Why would Rarity ever keep a-

  Lightning Strike: She doesn't really have one. But it usually gets Stealth moving from one place to another really fast. And it works every time. I'll teleport us there before Stealth even gets there. (Teleports group)

  *Clothing Boutique*

   (Group is ported in the Boutique)

  Applejack: Howdy, Rarity!

  Twilight Sparkle: (Whispering) Shh... Can't you see Rarity is trying to concentrate?

  Applejack:(Whispering) What do you think she's makin'?

  Twilight Sparkle:(Whispering) Looks like a dress.

  Applejack:(Whispering) Well, that makes sense. Since this is a dressmaker's shop and all.

  Lightning Strike: (Whispering) Girls, don't you think we should let her concentrate?

  Rarity: Is there something I can help you with?

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity, but I need a quick favor. Could you please fix the button for me? It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala.

  Rarity: Oh, no, no, no! You can't wear this... old thing. You need a glamorous new outfit for the Gala and I'll make it for you. No problem at all. It will be my pleasure!

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh, that's really sweet of you to offer, Rarity, but I can't let you do that. It would be so much work. This dress is fine.

  Rarity: Twilight Sparkle. I insist on making you a new dress.

  Twilight Sparkle: But...

  Rarity: Not another word! I won't take no for an answer.

  Twilight Sparkle: Well, in that case... Thank you for your generosity, Rarity. Knowing your handiwork, I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful.

  Rarity: Let me guess, Applejack. You don't want a new gown either.

  Applejack: Gown? Shoot. I was just gonna wear my old work duds.

  Rarity: You can't possibly be serious, Applejack! You absolutely must wear formal attire.

  Applejack: Hmm, Nah.

  Rarity: What if I just spruce up your... duds for you a little bit?

  Applejack: Okay, sure. Why not? Since you're up for it and all. Just don't make them too... froufrou-y.

  Rarity: Deal! And for you Lightning, I'm working on a formal stallion's outfit for you.

  Lightning Strike: Gee, Rarity. I'm not sure, you seem kinda busy with Twilight and Applejack's dresses and dud.

  Rarity: It is no trouble at all. I'm can work under all pressure.

  Lightning Strike: Um, are you sure that's-

  Rarity: I'm going to be fine darling. I'm going to give you the stallion's suit whether you answer yes or no.

  Lightning Strike: Well, if you can do it I trust you.

  Stealth Firefist: (Comes from nowhere) Hey, guys I'm here. So Rarity, where's the top secret fruit stash?

  Rarity: Um, I'm pretty sure I don't have a fruit stash.

  Stealth Firefist: You might as well give up the act Rarity, I know it and I'm going to search this place for it using my detective skills. Or whatever useful skills I have. (Searching Boutique)

  Rarity: Uh-

  Lightning Strike: Just go with it. I was trying to get him to come here anyway.

  Rainbow Dash: Look out below! (crashes in to model statues) Sorry. New trick. Didn't quite work.

  Rarity: Hmm... (gasp) Idea! I'll make you an outfit for the Gala too, Rainbow Dash.

  Rainbow Dash: Outfit for the what now?

  Rarity: I'll make one for you and you and all of you. Oh! And of course Pinkie and Fluttershy too. Oh, and when I'm done, we can hold our very own fashion show!

  Twilight Sparkle: What a great idea! If you're sure you can handle it.

  Rarity: Oh, it'll be a little bit of work, but it will be a wonderful boost for my business. Plus, fun!

  Rainbow Dash: Oh, I love fun things!

  Lightning Strike: Only if you're not bored. (Glare from Rainbow Dash) Just saying.

  Rarity: Then it's settled. We'll have a fashion show starring us.

  Applejack: So all you have to do is make a different, stunning, original, amazing outfit for one, two, three, four, five... plus yourself, seven ponies? And lickety split?

  Rarity: Oh, Applejack. You make it sound as if it's going to be hard.

  Stealth Firefist: (Crash and in another room) Because it is hard! And finding where you put the secret fruit stash you never told me about is even harder!

  (Rarity)

Thread by thread, stitching it together

Twilight's dress, cutting out the pattern snip by snip

Making sure the fabric folds nicely

It's the perfect color and so hip

Always gotta keep in mind my pacing

Making sure the clothes' correctly facing

I'm stitching Twilight's dress

Yard by yard, fussing on the details

Jewel neckline, don't you know a stitch in time saves nine?

Make her something perfect to inspire

Even though she hates formal attire

Gotta mind those intimate details

Even though she's more concerned with sales

It's Applejack's new dress

Dressmaking's easy, for Pinkie Pie something pink

Fluttershy something breezy

Blend color and form,

(To Opalescence) Do you think it looks cheesy?

Something brash, perhaps quite fetching

Hook and eye, couldn't you just simply die?

Making sure it fits forelock and crest

Don't forget some magic in the dress

Even though it rides high on the flank

Rainbow won't look like a tank

I'm stitching Rainbow's dress

Piece by piece, snip by snip

Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip

Thread by thread, primmed and pressed

Yard by yard, never stressed

And that's the art of the dress!

  *Later*

  Rarity: That's it. Keep them closed. Don't look. Okay, you can look now! These are your new outfits. What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack? Pretty swanky, are they not? And Twilight! I made this dress for you and I designed each outfit theme to perfectly reflect each pony's unique personality. Oh, it took me forever to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it. Oh, and it turned out BEAUTIFUL, don't you think? Ooo, and I know you are going to love yours, Fluttershy. It just sings spring! And Pinkie Pie, look! Pink! Your favorite! Aren't they all amazing?

  (Awkward silence)

  Twilight Sparkle: Wow... They're...

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah, they're...

  Applejack: They sure are... sumth'n.

  Twilight Sparkle: Yes! Something.

  Pinkie Pie: I love something! Something is my favorite!

  Fluttershy: It's... nice.

  Rarity: But what's the matter? Don't you like them?

  Twilight Sparkle: They're very nice...

  Applejack: And we're plum grateful 'cause you worked so hard on them.

Lightning Strike: They look amazing to me.

  Rainbow Dash: Mine's just not as cool as I was imagining. (Applejack, Twilight, and Lightning send her angry glares) She asked.

  Twilight Sparkle: I guess what we're all saying is that they're just not what we had in mind.

  Girls: Yeah.

  Rarity: That's okay. Not a problem. There's plenty more where that came from. They were only a first pass. You're my friends and I want you to be 110% satisfied. Not to worry, I'll redo them.

  Fluttershy: Oh, Rarity. You don't have to do that. They're fine.

  Rarity: I want them to be better that just fine. I want you to think they're absolutely perfect.

  Applejack: Are you sure? I mean, we wouldn't wanna impose.

  Rarity: Oh, it's no imposition. Really, I insist.

  Twilight Sparkle: Well, in that case... Thank you again, Rarity. (Group leaves)

  Rarity: What have I gotten myself into?

  *Ponyville*

  Lightning Strike: I'm worried about Rarity, she might be the one putting to much pressure and stress on herself.

  Stealth Firefist: What I'm worried about, is that the fruit stash may have been stolen. It must have been one of those clever, evil, but handsome tomb raider villains.

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, I'm not sure if-

  Stealth Firefist: Hold that thought Lightning! I have a plan that will totally work. We'll go back to the boutique, and when everyone is at the fashion show, we'll search for the missing fruit stash. Or as I like to call it, The Legendary Treasure of Fruitopia!

  Lightning Strike: The Legendary Treasure of Fruitopia?

  Stealth Firefist: Hey, those words you just said were supposed to be italicized by the author.

  Lightning Strike: (Weird Look) What?

  Stealth Firefist: Never Mind. (To us) But seriously, it should have been italicized to prove my point. (Lightning rolls his eyes)

  Lightning Strike: I'm just going to go tell the girls that I can't make the fashion show night.

  *Rarity's Boutique, Fashion Show Night*

  Stealth Firefist: Here we are. The Temple of the Lost Fruit.

  Lightning Strike: The Temple of the Lost Fruit?

  Stealth Firefist: (To us)  Seriously, why couldn't the author italicize the the name of the temple?

  Lightning Strike: (Rolls his eyes) Let's just get on the fruit search.

  (The two search around the boutique, but Stealth is looking more harder than Lightning)

  Lightning Strike: You know Stealth, we could just give up.

  Stealth Firefist: No way, Lightning. I think I just found a secret passage to the treasure.

  Lightning Strike: Oh, come on Stealth. There is no way Rarity's Boutique has a-

  Stealth Firefist: Found it! (Secret Passage opens)

  Lightning Strike: Well what do you know.

  Stealth Firefist: Come on. That fruit isn't gonna eat itself or walk away. (Both explore the passage)

  *Fruit Tomb*

  Lightning Strike: (Muttering) Wow, I thought there was no fruit stash at all. I thought I made it up.

  Stealth Firefist: Did you say something Lightning?

  Lightning Strike: (Talking) Oh, nothing Stealth. (Both come across long hallway)

  Stealth Firefist: Better be careful, Lightning. I've know enough tomb raider adventures, that this hallway obviously has many dangerous traps. I'll go trigger them! (Runs around very fast)

  Lightning Strike: Stealth no! (Stealth runs around triggering all the traps and is not hurt)

  Stealth Firefist: See? No harm done. (Steps in a floor plate pressing down) Uh-oh.

  Lightning Strike: What do you mean by uh-oh? (Both slide and fall onto the floor) Oh, now I get it.

  Stealth Firefist: This search for The Legendary Treasure of Fruitopia gets more dangerous by the level. Luckily, the fruit treasure is behind that door.

  Lightning Strike: Stealth, I'm pretty sure that is-

  Stealth Firefist: (Pushes door open) It's here! Just like I said it would! (Both gaze at the amount of rare, delicious fruit) Wow! Look at all this fruit! I can't imagine what I could do with it!

  Lightning Strike: Um, eat it?

  Stealth Firefist: Okay, that's one of them. But, other than that, Wow!

  Lightning Strike: Wow, is right. Look at all this fruit! We're the first ones to discover this sacred tomb of abandoned and fresh fruit.

  Pegasus: You're not the only one. (Stealth and Lightning see her)

  Lightning Strike: Hi, who are you?

  Pegasus: Daring Do.

  Lightning Strike: Daring Do?! You're real?!

  Stealth Firefist: You know her?

  Lightning Strike: Yeah, from the books Twilight has given me. I'd never thought fictional character could be so real.

  Earth Pony: (Accent) Just as her nemesis is real. (Comes out of shadows with henchponies)

  Daring Do: (Gasps) Caballeron!

  Dr. Caballeron: That's Dr. Caballeron to you.

  Daring Do: What do you want with the rare fruit of Fruitopia?

  Dr. Caballeron: Just to sell and make many riches beyond my wildest dreams.

  Daring Do: This fruit is important to the tomb and the life supple for others.

  Lightning and Stealth: Say what now?

  Dr. Caballeron: I don't care for nature. Henchponies, take all the fruit.

  Stealth Firefist: Not if we have anything to say and/or do about it. (Rushes to one of ponies and pony throws him back to Lightning) Wow, should have known better than to rush someone. (Stealth and Lightning get taken out, and finds themselves tied up) Huh? What happened?

  Lightning Strike: Well, while you were talking we were knocked out. We have to get out of this trap. Thankfully, they forgot I have magic. (Uses magic to destroy rope)

  Stealth Firefist: Nice going Lightning. Now, let's get to the treasure room and help Daring Do. (Both eventually find treasure room and see Daring Do trying to hold off stallions) You look like you need help Daring.

  Daring Do: No, I've got this! (Gets hit)

  Lightning Strike: Yeah, let's go help her anyway. (Both help and fight off stallions and eventually win)

  Daring Do: You two could've just run away.

  Stealth Firefist: And leave you to get beaten? No way, there's no I in team. Trust me, there isn't. And I should have know better than to try and take fruit from a potential well built forest.

  Lightning Strike: It's okay Stealth. When there's a treasures, we all can't seem to resist it.

  Daring Do: It's okay, You can some of the fruit.

  Stealth Firefist: Really? Oh, thanks. (Takes some fruit) Do you think, we'll ever cross paths again Daring?

  Daring Do: Maybe some day, monkey. (Flies off)

  Lightning Strike: Well, we better get back to Ponyville. The girls are probably worried sick about us.

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah, and Lightning? Let's keep this a secret between us.

  Lightning Strike: Agreed.

  *Ponyville*

   (Lightning and Stealth are walking through the town)

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh, there you two are. Where were you?

  Lightning Strike: Well, we were just having our own misadventure and ran into somepony.

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah, let's just say that it was really an adventure. Also, we have a lesson to share to Princess Celestia.

  *Golden Oaks Library*

  Lightning Strike: Dear Princess Celestia, Stealth and I have learned that some treasures, make believe or not, are very valuable. Not only to someone, personally, but to others. And we should always protect it and not be greedy salespony to take it away and sell it for his or her riches. Your brave warriors, Lightning Strike and Stealth Firefist.

  Spike: So, really what did happen?

  Stealth Firefist: Eh, nothing much Spike. But sometimes ideas just come to you head.

  Lightning Strike: Yes, yes they do. So Twilight, what happened while we were busy?

  Twilight Sparkle: I'd be happy to tell it at the cafe.

  Stealth Firefist: Right behind you guys.
