Lightning and Firefist (Script)

  *Golden Oaks Library*

  Twilight Sparkle: Thanks everyone for helping me clean up the library.

  Spike: Yeah, I need all the help I can get.

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah, Lightning said that I should help.

  Twilight Sparkle: That's very nice of you.

  Stealth Firefist: I said Lightning sent me to help. I'd rather be outside trying dangerous, new stunts that could hurt me very badly.

  Lightning Strike: That's one of the reasons why I make you help ponies.

  Stealth Firefist: What? I can heal very fast. I have a lots of endurance and discipline. My body can heal even an entire broken bone in at least half an hour.

  Lightning Strike: You cried when you are squished by an elephant.

  Stealth Firefist: The elephant wasn't heavy enough. You think I can keep that up with just an elephant?

  Lightning Strike: (Weird look) Right.

  Twilight Sparkle: (sigh) Last one. Thank you so much for helping me clean up all these books guys. It was a crazy week of studying.

  Stealth Firefist: I'm just glad that I can do my dangerous stunts. Applejack, fuel up my buzzsaws.

  Lightning Strike: You're not doing that.

  Rainbow Dash: (Screams and crashes into library and makes and mess, while Stealth and Lightning are launched into the air)

  Stealth Firefist: Well, at least we know the shelves need to be clean. (Both of them crash on the ground on top of Rainbow Dash)

  Fluttershy: Rainbow Dash, you rock! Woohoo. (gasp) Did my cheering do that?

  Rainbow Dash: Hehe. Sorry about that ladies and guys. THAT was a truly feeble performance.

  Fluttershy: Actually, it wasn't all bad. I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin.

  Rainbow Dash: Ugh. I'm not talking about my performance, I'm talking about yours. That feeble cheering!

  Twilight Sparkle: What are you two arguing about?

  Fluttershy: Were we arguing? I'm sorry.

  Rainbow Dash: (grunt) I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale to see me compete in the Best Young Flyer Competition.

  Lightning Strike: I can come. I'm an alicorn remember?

  Twilight Sparkle: What's that?

  Lightning Strike: Oh, an alicorn is a cross between a-

  Twilight Sparkle: I meant the Best Young Flyer Competition.

  Pinkie Pie: It's where all the greatest Pegasus flyers get together and show off their different flying styles! Some are fast! (makes car sounds and runs around) And some are graceful. (Dances) Woah, woah, WooooaaAAAAHH! (Crash)

  Applejack: Golly. I'd love to see you strut yer stuff in that competition.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah. I wish you guys could be there. Fluttershy's a great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational.

  Pinkie Pie: OOH! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom! It's like, the most coolest thing ever! Even though I've never actually seen it, but I mean COME ON! It's a sonic rainboom! How not cool could it possibly not be?!

Applejack: Golly. I'd love to see you strut yer stuff in that competition.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah. I wish the rest of you guys could be there. Fluttershy's a great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational.

  Lightning Strike: At least she's working on it.

  Pinkie Pie: OOH! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom! It's like, the most coolest thing ever! Even though I've never actually seen it, but I mean COME ON! It's a sonic rainboom! How not cool could it possibly not be?!

  Twilight Sparkle: What's a sonic rainboom?

  Pinkie Pie: You really need to get out more. The sonic rainboom is legendary! When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going sooo fast... BOOM! A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once!

  Applejack: And Rainbow Dash here's the only pony to ever pull it off!

  Rainbow Dash: It was a long time ago... I was just a filly.

  Pinkie Pie: Yeah, but you're gonna do it again, right?

  Rainbow Dash: Are... you kidding? I'm the greatest flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale! I could do sonic rainbooms in my sleep.

  Twilight Sparkle: Wow. If you pull that off, you'll win the crown for sure!

  Rainbow Dash: The grand prize is an entire day with the Wonderbolts. A whole day of flying with my life-long heroes... It'll be a dream come true!

  Fluttershy: Yay.

  Rainbow Dash: I'm gonna go rest up. Don't wanna over prepare myself, y'know. Hehe. YOU, on the other hand, better keep practicing. I need a cheering section to match my spectacular performance.

  Fluttershy: She's practiced that move a hundred times, and she's never even come close to doing it. I don't know if I can cheer loud enough to help her.

  Stealth Firefist: I can help with that. Use this Mega megaphone and you can be heard. It's just that you can stay out the volume you're at.

  Applejack: Uh, Why would ya keep a Mega megaphone with you?

  Stealth Firefist: (Scoffs) Duh, in case there is someone who cheers but is too soft to hear.

  Twilight Sparkle: Well, guess we better get this cleaned up... again.

  Rarity: Go on, go on.

  Twilight Sparkle: Go on what?

  Rarity: Find a spell that will get us wingless ponies into Cloudsdale. Didn't you see how nervous she was?

  Applejack: Nervous? Have you spit yer bit or somethin'? She was tootin' her own horn louder then the brass section of a marching band!

  Rarity: Oh, puh-lease. I have put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it. We've got to find a way to be there for her. Now go on!

  Twilight Sparkle: Owaa! Ugh. How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess?

  Pinkie Pie: A flight spell? One sec. Page twenty-seven.

  Applejack: How'd you do that?

  Pinkie Pie: It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase.

  Stealth Firefist: Also, I gave to her under the book pile

  Twilight Sparkle: Here it is! A spell that will allow Earth ponies to fly for three days. Ooh, it looks really difficult... I'm not sure I can do it.

  Rarity: You've got to try!

  Twilight Sparkle: Okay... But who's gonna volunteer to be the test subject?

  Rarity: I will! For Rainbow Dash, I will go first.

  Twilight Sparkle: Here goes. (Uses magic on Rarity)

  Applejack: (gasp)

  Twilight Sparkle: I think it worked!

  Lightning Strike: Think or did work?

  *Cloudsdale*

  (Group arrives at Cloudsdale)

  Rainbow Dash: This is so cool! You guys made it!

  Pinkie Pie: Sure did!

  Stealth Firefist: I wouldn't miss it for the world.

  Rainbow Dash: WAIT!.. (Group stands on clouds) How'd you do that? Only Pegasus ponies and Alicorns can walk on clouds.

  Pinkie Pie: Haha. Pretty cool, huh?

  Twilight Sparkle: I found a spell that makes temporary wings, but it was too difficult to do more than once. So I found an easier spell that lets the rest of us walk on clouds.

  Applejack: And we came to cheer you to victory!

  Rainbow Dash: To be honest, I was starting to get just the teeniest, tiniest bit nervous. But I feel a LOT better now that you guys are here. Hey, we've got some time before the competition. Why don't Fluttershy and I show you around Cloudsdale?

  Rarity, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie: Yes!

Lightning and Stealth: Why not?

  *Tour*

  Rainbow Dash: Here it is: the greatest city in the sky!

  Group: Oooh! Aaah!

  Stealth Firefist: This is so amazing! There are not words to describe this!

  Lightning Strike: Yeah! It makes me wanna move up here.

  Rarity: (in mirror) Oooh! Aaah!

  Lightning Strike: Rarity: You're just look at yourself in the mirror.

  Rarity: So? I still look fantabulous.

  Rainbow Dash: Uhh... Some of the greatest Pegasi in history came from Cloudsdale! (Group walks off)

Rarity: Oh, wait for me! (Catches up)

(jackhammer sounds)

  Worker Pegasus: Those wings are gorgeous!

  Rarity: Why, thank you!

  Twilight Sparkle: Be careful with those wings, Rarity. They're made from gossamer and morning dew, and they're incredibly delicate.

  Rarity: Don't worry, Twilight. I'm sure they can't get worn out from too much attention.

  Applejack: Since we're up here, I'd sure like to get a look at where the weather's made.

  Rainbow Dash: Great idea! C'mon, girls. To the weather factory!

  (thunder)

  Rainbow Dash: This is where they make the snowflakes. Each one is hoofmade. As you can see, it's a delicate operation.

  Stealth Firefist: Awesome! I can stare of this all day.

  Rarity: (gasp) Ooh, the snowflakes look even better from up here.

  (snowflake workers grumbling and yelling)

  Rainbow Dash: We better move on before Rarity ruins winter and causes a drought. (Takes group to rainbow factory) And here's where they make the rainbows!

  Pinkie Pie: (slurp) (pants) Spicyyyyyy!...

  Applejack: (laughs)

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah, rainbows aren't really known for their flavor.

  Dumb-Bell: Oh, where'd you get those amazing wings? I want a pair!

  Rarity: Hmm... Yeah, I guess I could see that.

  Dumb-Bell: Oh, hey look, it's Rainbow Crash again!

  Hoops: Heheheyeah! Rainbow... Umm... Eyah... Crash!

  Rainbow Dash: Rarity! What're you doing talking to these guys?

  Rarity: Oh, they were just admiring my wings, Rainbow Dash.

  Dumb-Bell: Yeah, you should forget the sonic rainboom and just get yourself some wings like these!

  Dumb-Bell, Hoops, and Score: (laughs)

  Lightning Strike: How about you back off and shut your mouths? Ignorant slugs.

  Dumb-Bell: What did you call me?!

  Stealth Firefist: Ignorant slug, you loser! Unless you have actual talent, you should back off! Oh, that's right. You don't any except for making fun of other ponies!

  Dumb-Bell: Oh, really? You think you're better than me you two?

  Lightning Strike: We don't think, we know.

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah, and at least we're not losers and ignorant blabber mouths. Unlike you three!

  (Dumb-Bell and his friends lounge at them, but Lightning has another bright light come out of his chest and the three stallions are on the ground, and decide to back off)

  Dumb-Bell: (Growls) You're lucky your not on the ground pleading.

  Stealth Firefist: Is that a threat to my friend?! Because if you harm him in any way, you have to answer to me! (Fire flares around him) (Stallions are really scared)

  Hoops: Hmph, see you later, Rainbow Crash!

  (Stallions fly way and laugh. But Stealth shoots a small fireball at them and they fly away quickly, panicked)

  Stealth Firefist: (Gets shocked looks from mares) (Fire flare dies down) Oh, that? You should see me when I'm furious. Then I won't hold anything back.

  Fluttershy: Uhh... C'mon, everyone. Why don't we go see how clouds are made? (To Rainbow Dash) Don't listen to them. You're gonna win that competition for sure!

  Rainbow Dash: Are you kidding? I can't DO the sonic rainboom, and just look at these boring, plain old feathered wings. I'm doomed!

  Lightning Strike: Don't listen to them Dash. They're just regular ponies who don't have even an eighth of the talent you have.

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah, and besides, we've got you're back all the way. Especially me.

  Rainbow Dash: Thanks guys.

*Cloud Factory*

  (group of workers awing at Rarity)

  Rarity: What, these old things? Go ahead, everypony. Photos are encouraged.

  Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, we're supposed to be helping Rainbow Dash relax, remember? Put your wings away and stop showing off!

  Rarity: Oh, pfft. How can you ask me to put away perfection? (workers awing) Waa-haa-haa!

  Lightning Strike: Rarity, it isn't much perfection.

  Rairty: Darling, this is perfection and you know it.

  Lightning Strike: (Sighs)

  Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash, are you okay? You don't look so good.

  Rainbow Dash: (panting) Of course! Why wouldn't I be okay? Everyone's so in love with Rarity's wings that they won't even notice when I totally blow it in the Best Young Flyer's Competition.

  Rainbowshine: Hey! There's an idea! YOU should enter the competition!

  Nana Knits: Yeah! I could watch you fly all day long!

  Rarity: There really isn't anypony who uses their wings quite like me. Perhaps I should compete.

  Rainbow Dash: WHAT?! (workers continue awing at Rarity) What am I gonna DO?! I'll never win the competition now...

  Stealth Firefist: Rainbow Dash, Over here, I've got a foolproof plan.

  Lightning Strike: Not so sure Stealth. Remember when we had to get rid of the dragon and all the your plans failed?

  Stealth Firefist: Don't worry, Lightning. As they say, "If at first you don't succeed, eat fruit." Wait hold on, that's not what they say.

  *Cloud Hotel* *Stealth's Plan A*

  Stealth Firefist: (In wing inspection disguise) Excuse me, pretty winged unicorn.

  Rarity: Yes? How I be of assistance?

  Stealth Firefist: I need to inspect you're wings, making sure they're fit the contest tomorrow.

  Rarity: Right away. Just let me get ready over here.

  Stealth Firefist: Ah, take you time ma'am. (Rarity goes over to corner and pulls a rope with her magic, and an anvil falls on Stealth's head) News good, passed you inspection have.

  *Cloudsdale Hotel with the others*

  Stealth Firefist: Well, I tried. I've even used one plan.

  Applejack: You do realize it takes more than a monkey in a inspector's suit.

  Twilight Sparkle: We just need to wait later and hopefully Rarity learns her lesson.

  *Performance Center*

  Madden: Fillies and gentlecolts! Please rise and join me in welcoming our beloved Princess Celestia! (fanfare and applause) Please welcome our celebrity judges for the Best Young Flyer Competition: the Wonderbolts! (crowd cheering) And now, let's find out who will take the prize as this year's best young flyer.

  (Later in the Performance)

  Twilight Sparkle: I loved number seven. Doing fifteen barrel-rolls in a row can't be easy.

  Fluttershy: My favorite is number ten. She just looked like such a nice pony.

  Applejack: Hmm.. Wonder how come we haven't seen Rainbow Dash or Rarity yet. The competition's almost over.

  Lucy Packard: Number fifteen, let's go!

  Rarity: Rarity... is ready!

  Lucy Packard: Look, ladies. I don't know what to tell you. There's only time for one more performance. If you both want to compete, you'll just have to go out there together!

  Rarity: Well, Rainbow Dash? Shall we?

  Rainbow Dash: (scared babbling)

  Madden: And now, for our final competitor of the day, contestant number fifteen! Uhh... And apparently contestant number four...

(crowd cheering)

  Rarity: Good luck, Rainbow Dash. Just do your best. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of changing our music. That "rock and roll" doesn't really match my wings.

  Rainbow Dash: (gulp) C'mon, Rainbow Dash. You can do this. Just remember the routine. (Does performance) Phase one. (crowd cheering) Oof. WAAAH!

  Hoops: Nice work, Rainbow Crash!

  Dumb-Bell, Hoops and Score: (laugh) (Gets burned by Stealth's Fireball) Ow!

  Stealth Firefist: Next fireball, you'll be sorry!

  Lightning Strike: Ease up Stealth.

  Rainbow Dash: Time for phase two.

  Fluttershy: Look! Phase two is working.

  (ponies cheering)

  Princess Celestia: (gasp) (Stealth burns cloud up)

  Stealth Firefist: Take as a thank you Princess Celestia!

  Princess Celestia: (Chuckles)

  Rarity: And now for my grand finale. I will fly right up to the sun and beam my beautiful wings over the whole city of Cloudsdale! (gasp and squeal) They'll be talking about it for years!

  Rainbow Dash: Looks like this is my last chance to turn things around. Phase three. The sonic (gulp) rainboom. Wings, don't fail me now!(crowd gasps) (grunt)

  Rarity: (panting) Look upon me, Equestria, for I... am... Rarity!

  (crowd oohs)

  Rarity: (Wings dissolve) Uh-oh. (screams)

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh no! Her wings evaporated into thin air!

  Rarity: (screams)

  Lightning Strike: Come on Stealth! (Puts Stealth on his back and flies toward Rarity)

  Stealth Firefist: We'll never make to her on time. Rainbow Dash, Rescue her!

  Rainbow Dash: Got it! Hold on, Rarity! I'm coming!

  Fluttershy: Oh, I can't look!

  (Sonic Rainboom)

   Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle: (gasp)

  Fluttershy: A sonic rainboom! She did it! She did it! WOOO!

  Rainbow Dash: Whoa.

  (crowd cheering)

  Fluttershy: A sonic rainboom! Wooo! YEAH!

  Rainbow Dash: I did it. I did it!

  Rarity: (sigh) You sure did. Oh thank you, Rainbow Dash. You saved my life!

  Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah. I did that too. Ha, best day EVER!

  Stealth Firefist: That was awesome!

  Lightning Strike: Yeah! I may never forget this moment.

  Rarity: I want to apologize to all of you for getting so carried away with my... beautiful wings. I guess I just lost my head.

  Fluttershy: It's okay.

  Applejack: Oh, don't worry about it, kiddo.

  Pinkie Pie: We still love you.

  Stealth Firefist: Friends forever.

  Rarity: And I'm especially sorry that I was so thoughtless as to jump into the contest at the last minute after you had worked so hard to win it. Can you ever ever forgive me?

  Rainbow Dash: Aw, it's okay. Everything turned out alright, right? I just wish I could have met the Wonderbolts when they were awake.

  Lightning Strike: I think you might get the chance.

  Rainbow Dash (gasp) OhmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohMYGOSH!

  Spitfire: So you're the little pony who saved our lives. We really wanted to meet you, and say thanks.

  Rainbow Dash: Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!

  Twilight Sparkle: Princess.

  Princess Celestia: Hello, Twilight Sparkle, and hello to your friends too.

  Rarity: Princess Celestia, I am sorry I ruined the competition. Rainbow Dash here really is the best flyer in Equestria.

  Princess Celestia: I know she is, my dear. That's why, for her incredible act of bravery and her spectacular sonic rainboom, I'm presenting the grand prize for best young flyer to this year's winner, Miss Rainbow Dash!

  (crowd cheers)

  Rainbow Dash: Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!

  Princess Celestia: So Twilight Sparkle, did you learn anything about friendship from this experience?

  Twilight Sparkle: I did Princess, but I think Rarity learned even more than me.

  Rarity: I certainly did. I learned how important it is to keep your hooves on the ground, and be there for your friends.

  Princess Celestia: Excellent. Well done, Rarity.

  Rainbow Dash: This really is the best day EVER!

  Dumb-Bell: Uhh, hey, Rainbow Crash.

  Hoops: Dash!

  Dumb-Bell: Oh! Uhh... Sorry. Rainbow Dash. Uhh, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the competition.

  Hoops: That sonic rainboom was awesome!

  Rainbow Dash: Heh, thanks, guys.

  Dumb-Bell: Uhh, we're really sorry we gave you such a hard time before.

  Rainbow Dash: Aww, that's okay. Don't worry about it.

  Dumb-Bell: Hey. Do you want to hang out with us? Maybe you could show us how you did that incredible trick!

  Rainbow Dash: Sorry, boys... But I've got plans! (Glided with idols)

  Stealth Firefist: Most awesome day ever girls and Lightning.

  Lightning Strike: Sure was. (Mares laugh)
