Chapter 1

"This is closed-circuit television for Ponyville Elementry School, and now, Super School News, News made for students, by students" said the announcer

"Welcome to Super School News I'm Apple Bloom" said Apple Bloom.

"And I'm Snips" said Snips

"The price of milk money will go up next Monday to 49 cents. The school claims the added money is due to the cow shortage in Ponyville" said Apple Bloom.

"Parent-teacher conferences will be held this Wednesday night, from seven to nine. So kids, get a lot of playing in before you get grounded. And now, for a look at what's on the menu for school lunch today, here's Button Mash" said Snips.

"Snips, it looks as though the school will be serving a chicken cutlet. Now that's traditionally a uh, a white meat chicken breast, if you will, that has been breaded, and then cooked. I've been told there will also be tater-tots, and a vegetable dish.This is really shaping up to be a ah ah one fantastic lunch" said Buttons.

"Hard-hitting reporting, Button Thanks a lot. And now here with the celebrity watch is Snails. Snails seen any celebrities" asked Snips.

"No not yet I've been standing' out in front of the school for about two hours now and I haven't seen any celebrities. Uh about thirty minutes ago I thought I saw Sigourney Hoofer, but it turns out it was a dead pony" said Snails

"All right, Butters, keep your eyes open" said Snips

"More snow for Ponyville. Here's Scootaloo with the weather" said Apple Bloom.

"Apple Bloom and Snips, it looks like a massive snow storm is headed Ponyville's way. I asked my dad last night and he said that he heard the snow storm is expected on Tuesday" said Scootaloo.

"Sweetie Belle now joins us for a look at sports. And Sweetie, the girls' hoof ball team just can't get it right" said Snips.

"Another devastating loss for the Cows last night Snips. They were ahead in the game until Kelly Anderson crying because she missed her daddy, who's on a business trip in Thailand. Kelly was so upset she couldn't play, and the Cows had to forfeit" said Sweetie Belle.

"Cows are on a six and O slide since Kelly's father left for that business trip" said Snips

"And that's all for Super School News. Enjoy your day at Ponyville Elementary" said Apple Bloom

"And we're cut! All right, nice reporting everypony" said Snips.

"Boy, that was a GREAT episode" said Snails.

"Yeah, I think that was one of our best shows yet" said Buttons.

" I'm afraid I have some bad news everypony the school has to cancel your show" said Cheerlie as she walked in.

"What?? For God's sake, why Cheerilee" asked Apple Bloom.

"Well, the students just aren't watching ya. Your rating was only a four this whole week" said Cheerlie.

"How many students is that" asked Snips.

Four, Four students watch your show. And meanwhile, Diamond Tiara's show is getting a 57" said Cheerlie.

"Diamond's show" said Buttons.

"What is that plothole doing now" asked Snips.

"Oh, it's brilliant! It's all just video footage of animals close-up with a wide angle lens.

On the video it displays animals close-up with a wide angle lens.

"But that's that's crap! That's not even TV" said Buttons.

"It's what the students want, and it's cheaper to make than your show. Just one person and a video camera. Diamond is a genius. Uh sorry, kids.

"But Cheerlie, we're trying to bring the news to the students. They need to know the facts, and our news team them, very much" said Apple Bloom.

"Kids don't care about the news It's boring. Kids wanna see animals, close-up, with a wide angle lens" said Cheerlie.

"Please Cheerlie the news is our life, without it, we have nothing" said Snips.

"I'm sorry kids you should be proud of what you've done. It's just that it's kind of dumb" said Cheerlie as she walks off

"You're dumb" yelled Snips.

Later at Sugar Cube Corner.

"Gee whiz We sure worked hard on that new show" said Snails.

"Apparently it doesn't matter how hard you work" said Buttons.

"Hello kids ready to do some whistlin" asked Mr Cake.

"Buck off, Mr Cake we're not in the mood" said Snips.

"If you want your cupcakes, you've gotta whistle" said Mr Cake.

Everyone then whistles

"There you go enjoy" said Mr Cake.

"Celestia i wish we had a Cake Hut in Ponyville" said Snips

"Hey look, Diamond Tiara just walked in" said Sweetie Belle.

"Hey look, it's Diamond Tiara! Hey, Diamond, over here" said a bunch of kids.

"Geez, and all that from a stupid video show" said Scootaloo

"Oh hey Heard about your news show being cancelled" said Diamond Tiara

"Go play with yourself Diamond" said Apple Bloom.

"Yeah, well I've got an overall deal with the school. They're paying me six hundred bits a week to come up with new shows.

"Your idea took about pretty much no thought Diamond" said Buttons.

"That's a lot more than you had! Hey, a round of root beers for everyone! On me" said Diamond Tiara as she was heading to the vip table with everypony including Twist.

"Twist what the heck are you doing with this plothole" asked Snips.

"Diamond just asked me to do her show geez" said Twist.

"You're helping Diamond make her show?! I can't believe you would betray us like that?! We've always been supercool to you" said Snips

Cut to flash back.

"Hah ha ha ha ha ha We're gonna do a news show and you can't do it with us because you are too poor and poor ponies don't watch the news nyanyanyanyanya nya" said Snips

Cut out of flash back

"Ah whatever, Twist" said Snips as he walked away.

"Hey everypony, I brought the new episode of wide angle close-up animals" said Diamond Tiara

"Put it up on the monitors" said Silver Spoon.

"Cuuute, Super cuuute, said everypony as they were watching the show.

"Gah I just don't get it" said Scootaloo.

"Wow, those animals are pretty cute" said Sweetie Belle.

"Now, come on everyone we worked too hard to just roll over for Diamond and her stupid overall deal. Instead of sitting here feeling sorry for ourselves, we just need to figure out how to make our show better" said Buttons.

"Yeah Maybe if we can get higher ratings by the end of the week, he'll let us stay on the air" said Apple Bloom.

Well, what are we waiting for, come on, guys" said Buttons.

At the cmc's clubhouse

"All right, we all need to come up with ideas for our show" said Buttons

"How about we revamp the name? Super School News sounds dry" said Sweetie Belle.

"It should be flexy News" said Snips.

"Action News" said Scootaloo

"Yeah, Flexy Action, that's good.

"Maybe the problem is we don't have very good stories to report on" said Sweetie Belle.

"Right we should make up stories, because they'll be far more interesting.

"Hey yeah, I could say I saw celebrities even though I didn't, and then lie about what I saw them doing" said Snails.

"Nice, Snails, write that down! Lie about celebrities" said Snips

"We have to appeal to all the students, so we need hot mares for the sixth graders And bunnies for the preschoolers" said Buttons

"Good! Maybe we need to make students think they have to watch our news show or they'll die" said Snips

"Yeah! We should make up a bunch of reports about how dangerous it is to be alive" said Scootaloo.

"Everypony, are you sure all of this ethical" asked Apple Bloom.

"We're in fourth grade, we don't even know what ethical means" said Snips

"All right, Flexy Action School News Team, it's time to go to work. Get out there and get some stories" said Buttons.

The next day.

        "This is Ponyville Elementary School closed-circuit television. And now, Time for the Flexy Action School News!!

        "Is Ponyville about to explode from a methane gas leak? More on that late. First, Buttons Mash has a look at some new outfits for the Raisins girls" said Snips

        "Snips the outfits are even skimpier than before, leaving very little to the imagination. No doubt that if I were a little older, I would be aroused" said Buttons.

        "And now, for a look at the weather, here is Scootaloo, and Scoots, I hope there's no tornadoes headed our way" said Snips

        "No tornadoes Snips, but interestingly enough, there is a low-pressure storm moving in over the Park County Valley. Should bring us some chilly days ahead" said Scootaloo.

        "The Park County School Board has approved a bigger budget for the computer lab up" said Apple Bloom before being interupted by snips.

        "Oooo, hang on, Apple Bloom, it looks like it's Bunny Madness Minute! Oh yeah, Bunny Bear Madness! And now, let's get a look at the celebrity scene shot, with Snails" said Snips.

        "This isn't the news, this is travesty" said Apple Bloom
