Lightning and Firefist (Script)

  *Golden Oaks Library*

  Twilight Sparkle: This meteor shower tonight's gonna be amazing!

  Spike: Awesome! (Throws bananas into wagon which Stealth eats one of them)

  Stealth Firefist: Not to mention they food will be delicious!

  Twilight Sparkle: Not unless you and Lightning eat it all up.

  Lightning Strike: Hey, a creature's gotta eat. (Twilight and Spike agree)

Twilight Sparkle: You know, this shower only happens once every 100 years.

  Spike: A centennial celebration!

  Twilight Sparkle: We better get a move on!

  Spike: Don't wanna be late! Whoa, whoa, whoa! (Gets juice balanced) There.

  Twilight Sparkle: Spike, did you grab my quill and ink?

  Spike: Check!

  Twilight Sparkle: Scrolls?

  Spike: Check! I've also packed a telescope, apples, bananas, fruit punch, and my freshly baked homemade triple-decker nut-crazy vanilla cream cookies!

  Lightning Strike: Those are my favorite kind of cookies!

  Stealth Firefist: I thought your favorite was chocolate chip.

  Lightning Strike: Yes, and that was good for last week, but this time, triple-decker nut-crazy vanilla cream cookies!

  Twilight Sparkle: (giggle) I can see that. Once again you've read my mind, Spike. And that is why you are my number one assistant.

  Spike: I'm sorry. I didn't hear you.

  Twilight Sparkle: That is why you are my number one assistant.

  Spike: Missed that! Huh...?

  Twilight Sparkle: I said... (giggle) Come on, let's get going. Wait! I almost forgot! I wanna bring the "Astronomical Astronomer's Almanac to All Things Astronomy".

  Spike: The Astronomo-lomo homono what?

  Stealth Firefist: All I know is that it's a book.

  Twilight Sparkle: You know that really old big blue book on stars, moons, planets, the universe...?

  Spike: Right. Check! (Walks into other room) Ah... Ahh... Ahhh... Ahhhh...! (sighs) (Sneezes onto book burning all pages with green flame)

  Twilight Sparkle: Hey! What's taking my number one assistant so long?

  Lightning Strike: We don't have all night Spike!

  Stealth Firefist: The meteor shower will never happen for another hundred years! And by that time I'll be, um, 5,000 years old!

  Twilight and Lightning: (Weird Look to Stealth) Right.

  (Spike puts book back on the shelf and runs back to the room)

  *Ponyville Park at night*

  (Group is arriving at a empty spot with ponies waiting to see meteor shower)

  Twilight Sparkle: I was sure I put the astronomer's guide back. The book would have helped me identify different planets and stars tonight.

  Spike: Well... Maybe someone borrowed it? Besides, you don't need that book. You can already name all the planets and stars, 'cause you're super smart and astronomically awesome!

  Twilight Sparkle: Thanks, Spike. You're such a flatterer.

  Spike: Yeah, I'm a sweet talker.

  Twilight Sparkle: And a number one assistant, right?

  Spike: Check!

  Stealth Firefist: And friend.

  Spike: Double Check! (Sets up night picnic)

  Rainbow Dash: (eats apple) Wow, Twilight! You're lucky to have such a rad assistant. I wish I had someone to do whatever I told them.

  Scootaloo: Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Me! I'll do whatever you want, Rainbow Dash!

  Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah, pipsqueak? How about taking out the trash?

  Scootaloo: Yes ma'am! (Takes apple to trash)

  Rarity: Do we have Spike to thank again for this amazing spread? Isn't he simply amazing?

  Spike: Oh, come on. (pause) I said come on.

  Lightning Strike: Come on with what?

  Pinkie Pie: Little Spikey-wikey! Who knew that big ferocious dragon started off so cutesy wootsy?

  Rarity: Spike, you are such a little star that I had to make a little bow tie for you.

  Spike: Gosh. You guys are embarrassing me. Stop it. (pause) Twilight, your turn

  Twilight Sparkle: Spike, that's enough.

  Spike: How about you two?

  Lightning Strike: (Chuckles) Sorry Spike, enough's enough.

  Spike: Oh, okay. Enough's enough.

  Sweetie Belle: Hey, everypony! The show is starting!

  (Meteor Shower starts and everyone is awed)

  Stealth Firefist: Wow. This is so cool. I can't take my eyes off this until it's over. Otherwise, it would be a let down.

  *Later*

  Pinkie Pie: Mmm. Wow! These cookies are delish!

  Lightning Strike: Exactly they're my favorite.

  Twilight Sparkle: Spike made them. Speaking of, Spike, can you bring us some punch? Spike? (Spike is sleeping)

  Rarity: Oh, poor little thing.

  Twilight Sparkle: Aww... He's worked himself to the bone.

  Stealth Firefist: And the scales.

  Pinkie Pie: And now the punch has been... "spiked"!

  (Group Laughs)

  *Lightning's House*

  Stealth Firefist: Wow, I haven't seen anything so cool since you flew as fast as lightning bolt.

  Lightning Strike: Yeah, it's too bad it comes every hundred years.

  Stealth Firefist: Hundred years? Hold let me check the calendar. (Checks calendar seeing he has a warrior's appointment) Ooh. I not gonna make it. I have a warrior's appointment then.

  Lightning Strike: (Chuckles) Well good night Stealth.

  Stealth Firefist: Good night. And good night to you two Tangy. (Talking to his mango leaving Lightning to chuckle again)

  *Golden Oaks Library Morning*

  (Stealth and Lightning are walking to the Golden Oaks Library and see that the girls are having a conversation)

  Lightning Strike: Hi girls! What's up?

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh guys! There you are I want you to meet Owlowiscious.

  Owlowiscious: Hoo.

  Stealth Firefist: Owlow-what?

  Twilight Sparkle: Owlowiscious. (Lightning and Stealth try to pronounce it)

  Lightning Strike: Yeah, we'll pronounce it eventually.

  Pinkie Pie: Oh, what a fantastical, flufflicious feathery little friend! I'm... HOOked!

  (everybody laughs)

  Fluttershy: He's just wonderful.

  Spike: (Mockingly) "He's just wonderful." (Group turns and sees him) Uh, yes. Wonderful. He's quite... the charmer.

  Rarity: And Owlowiscious is just such a star I just had to make this little bow for you. (Puts bow on Owlowiscious) (Spike growls and storms back in the library)

  Applejack: What's he all saddle sore about?

  Rainbow Dash: He's probably just jealous of Owlowiscious.

  Stealth Firefist: Probably or is jealous?

  Fluttershy: Maybe Spike feels threatened or worried that Owlowiscious will replace him?

  Twilight Sparkle: Replace him? Hah! That's crazy! Spike knows he can't be replaced.

  Lightning Strike: Yeah. Owlowiscious is just the second assistant.

  *Ponyville*

  Stealth Firefist: (Walking with his friend) I'm not sure Lightning. Spike got really steamed that Owlowiscious is working with Twilight.

  Lightning Strike: He'll adjust to him eventually. For the meantime, let's just-

  Spike: (Comes up to Stealth and Lightning) Please tell me you guys have a quill.

  Lightning Strike: Um, sorry Spike. No quills here.

  (Spike lets a frustrated groan and runs off)

  Stealth Firefist: Whoa, what his problem? (Lightning shrugs) (Fluttershy comes up to the duo) Hi Fluttershy!

  Fluttershy: Hi Stealth and Lightning. I just wanted you to come by Sugarcube Corner.

  Lightning Strike: We'll be there.

*Sugarcube Corner*

(Group eating sweets)

  Stealth Firefist: I just don't know you guys do it. Tastes so delicious.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah. It makes me wanna come here everyday.

  Stealth Firefist: (Doorbell rings) Doorbell! (Ponies chuckle)

  (Pinkie Pie hops over and answers it)

  Spike: Do you have a quill?

  Pinkie Pie: I swore I had one here somewhere. Ah, here it is! A quince!

  Spike: Not a quince. A quill!

  Pinkie Pie: Right. A quail? A quilt! A quesadilla? Aha! A quiche! (pronounced phonetically)

  Spike: Not a quiche. (pronounced correctly) A quill!

  Pinkie Pie: Nope. Sorry. All outta quills.

  Spike: (Sighs) Shoot! (Runs off)

  Stealth Firefist: Once again, what's his problem?

  *Golden Oaks Library Night*

  Lightning Strike: Hey Twilight! We just wanted to come by and see if you- (Sees Twilight or Owlowiscious is not here)

  Stealth Firefist: Uh,  where did they go?

  Lightning Strike: There's a note.

  Stealth Firefist: Ooh! I can read it. (Clears throat) Juggling Bananas, Meteor Mango, Giggling Guava Berry juice. Hmm. I can conclude that they're at a fruit fiesta! (Lightning turns it right side up) Oh, this makes much more sense. It reads, "Went to go find Spike. Might be in trouble. Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle. P.S., Stealth if you've read this wrong, you probably first thought I was going to a fruit fiesta. I'm not." Wow, how did she know?

  Lightning Strike: No time for that. We have to find Spike now. (Puts Stealth on his back)

  Stealth Firefist: Yeah! Stealth and Lightning to the rescue! (Lightning flies off to Everfree Forest)

  *Everfree Forest*

  (Lightning Stops)

  Lightning Strike: We better find Spike and fast. Even if it takes us hours, days, probably even weeks. But so help me-

  Stealth Firefist: Found him! He's in this cave, cornered by a giant green dragon. (Lightning Sees Spike corner by green dragon) Quick, Stealth and Lightning to the rescue for real!

  (Both jump in front of the dragon)

  Lightning Strike: Leave him alone!

  Spike: Stealth! Lightning!

  (Green Dragon about to strike, but Lightning has a blinding light come out of him blinding the dragon)

  Lightning Strike: Quick! Run! (Spike runs away)

  Stealth Firefist: Hey dragon! You wanna see a real torch and burn? Try this on for size! (Fire Flares around and sends off a fire wave to the dragon pushing back) (Lightning uses magic to stun him, giant dragon swipes both of them down) Well, it nice having as you as a partner Lightning.

  Lightning Strike: Same here.

  Owlowiscious: Hoo-hoo! (Attacks and distracts dragon)

  Twilight Sparkle: Stealth! Lightning! Over here! (Lightning puts Stealth on his back and flies out of the cave with Owlowiscious) (Green Dragon breathes out flame and group is escaping)

  Stealth Firefist: Ha! Let's see him try to chase us! (Sees dragon chasing group) Okay, the first time I say this, he actually does chase us!

  Twilight Sparkle: It's too dark I can't see!

  Stealth Firefist: Can't do a flame. I wanna save my power just in case our escape goes haywire.

  Owlowiscious: Hoo-hoo! (Leads the way and has the group escape from giant green dragon)

  Lightning Strike: Whoa, that was close.

  Stealth Firefist: Too close if you ask me.

   Twilight Sparkle: (pants) Spike. We were so worried about you. I was so worried about you. Why did you run away?

  Spike: I thought you didn't need me anymore. And that you didn't love me anymore

   Twilight Sparkle: Spike. Sure, I was disappointed, but you are my number one assistant! And friend. And you always will be. It's just that sometimes I need some help at night. I can't ask you to stay up late. You're a baby dragon and you need your rest. Owls are nocturnal. So I asked Owlowiscious to help. But not to take your place. No one could ever replace you, Spike. Not even when you are being a jealous numbskull.

  Spike: I'm sorry, Twilight. I've never should have been so jealous.

  Stealth Firefist: It's like my sensei once said, he lets his jealously get the best of him, is a blind creature.

  Twilight Sparkle: And I'm sorry too, Spike. I should have been more sensitive.

  Spike: And Owlowiscious... I know now that you weren't out to take my job. Forgive me?

  Owlowiscious: Hoo?

  Spike: Me. Forgive me, Spike.

  Owlowiscious: Hoo!

  Twilight Sparkle: (giggles) He forgives you, Spike.

  Spike: Hey! How did you guys know where I was?

  Twilight Sparkle: It was your ketchup-covered feet. Owlowiscious discovered your footprints and we followed them all the way to the cave.

  Spike: Oh yeah, the ketchup. It looked pretty real though, didn't it? Uh... (Giggles Nervously)

  Lightning Strike: Not us, we got Twilight's note on the desk.

  Stealth Firefist: Plus, how did you know I would first think you were at a fruit fiesta Twilight?

  Twilight Sparkle: Well, let's just say I know you very well.

  *Golden Oaks Library*

  Twilight Sparkle: I know Princess Celestia will wanna read about what happened today...

Spike: I'm ready when you are.

Twilight Sparkle: Hey, Spike. Why don't you write to Princess Celestia? And tell her what you've learned?

  Spike: Really? Why, that's a big responsibility!

  Twilight Sparkle: I know. But nothing my number one assistant can't handle.

  Spike: Dear Princess Celestia, This is Spike, writing to you about my adventures. This week I've learned that being jealous and telling lies gets you nowhere in friendship. I also learned that there's plenty of love for every friend to share. So from here on out, I promise, that I, Spike, will... (drops asleep)

  Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Spike.

  Lightning Strike: Well you can't blame him. A creature's gotta sleep.

  Stealth Firefist: He's not wrong you know.
