Chapter 1: Surprising Guest-Stars

The Muppet Theatre is quiet...way WAY too quiet, especially with the place empty and void of Muppet life. It has been sometime since the Muppets reunited and save their theater from Tex Richman, who happily gave it back to them after they made him laugh. The gang is preparing to restore their fame and build their way up, so to speak.

Of course, I spoke too soon. It WAS quiet and now laughter and weird noises is heard as the gang came back in after a tour of Europe. They have a run in with world criminal Constantine (who looks like their pal Kermit) who was manipulating them into stealing the Crown Jewels. But now with the villain in jail and the world tour (minus the 'world' part) over, the gang heads back home.

"Okay, gang, welcome back!" Kermit calls out to his friends who cheers wildly. "Wow, we have a great tour, eh?"

"TOUR, TOUR, TOUR!" Animal growls as he jumps around like mad.

"Whoa, Animal, buddy, calm," Floyd Pepper chuckles, pulling his friend by a leash to calm the mad Muppet down, "Yeah, I enjoy it too...minus the whole problems with Constantine."

"Yeah, can't you believe he tried to married moi and almost hold me hostage?" Miss Piggy scoffs as she pet Frou-Frou. The pig smiles towards her froggy love, adding, "But he will never compare to vous, Kermie dear."

"Yeah, thanks Piggy." Kermit said sheepishly. She always does this to him. The frog clears his throat (a not so literal frog in it), "Okay, gang. We got our world tour done..."

"AKA our newest movie," Gonzo exclaims as he drags in his cannon though it went off, knocking him down. "Yes!'

"...right, right! So what shall we do for a encore?"

"SEQUEL, SEQUEL, SEQUEL!" Animal exclaims eagerly, jumping up and down. Kermit sighs, shaking his head.

"Uh, Kermit," Walter ask, raising his hand up. "Well, since you got your theater back...and we did made a hit in Europe...maybe we could get the show going."

"And how about letting us background characters in more often, huh?!" Rizzo the Rat scowls, pushing in front of Walter. "You took too much screen time since you came along, kid!"

"Well, sorry! You just weren't needed for the sequel and..."

"Oh, right, knock a guy down while he's down, why don't ya?!"

"Rizzo, calm down; Walter, that's a good idea. We could get our show going." Kermit said with a thoughtful look, making the gang cheers. "Now what we need are acts..."

"Got them, chief," Scooter chirps, holding up a list of acts while showing it to Kermit. "Lists of acts we didn't thought of yet..."

"Scooter, it's blank!"

"Oh, that's because we didn't thought of what we didn't thought of yet!"

"Oh good grief," Kermit groans, shaking his head in disbelief; this may be more complicated than expected. "Okay, you guys just...practice for something and if you got any ideas, my door is always open!"

The Muppets didn't waste any time in doing whatever it is that they like to do. Fozzie follows his best friend into his office. The frog has recovered from the bad case of bad identify when Constantine took his place and used his friends for his robberies. Kermit thought for a while that they didn't need him...boy, was he wrong!

"Fozzie, I need your opinion." Kermit sighed as he sat his desk; Great to be back in here again.

"Oh, well, I am thinking we should hire George the Janitor back to clean this place up," Fozzie comments, noting some of the dust and cobwebs in the office as he swept some with a paw. "We didn't think of cleaning this place since..."

"Not my office, Fozzie! I mean guest-stars. Back when we started the show, we would find the best guest stars at reasonable prices. Nowadays, they are either dead or too expensive!"

"Oh...well, we could make some guest-stars up."

"Fozzie, I thought folks would bring imaginative characters to life." Kermit groans, waving a flipper at his friend's silly idea.

"Dr. Bunsen Honeydew could!" Fozzie said with a smile, much to Kermit's notice. What does the bear mean?

"Well, Kermit, I'm glad you took an interest!" Dr. Bunsen Honeydew exclaims as he types in some buttons on a pad. Kermit and Fozzie are watching as Beaker was cleaning off a machine. "Since guest-stars are so expensive...or dead...nowadays, I decided it's time we 'pull' some from other universes."

"Alternative universes; that's bizarre," Kermit remarks to Bunsen's idea with a groan. He pauses to think about this. "Of course, we the Muppets had done THAT before!"

"Beaker, if you could begin pulling the lever..."

"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker exclaims as he pulls the lever. The assistant moves out of the way, not wanting to get hurt should things get out of hand...AS USUAL.

"Now then, I have programmed the machine to bring in any guest-stars, not just normal ones, but ones who are cheap, can sing, act, whatever, and can fill in to begin the show." Bunsen said proudly as the machine begins activating.

Suddenly a black hole appears, much to the Muppets' notice. Fozzie impressed spoke, "Wow; A black hole! Is that our guest-star?"

"Actually, it will bring our guest-stars here to wherever they are."

"Bunsen, wouldn't it be awkward if we bring someone who doesn't even know what's going on?" Kermit ask Bunsen in worry. "We may be kidnapping...and this isn't like when we kidnapped Jack Black!"

"Well, I'm sure the machine can pick someone, right?" Bunsen asks Kermit with a smile. The frog groans a bit.

Kermit got a bad feeling about this.

In another universe and place, Twilight and her friends are checking out the box, looking concerned. It has been a while since the Day of the Moon when Fanged Dahlia and her allies tries to make the prophecy come true...and the evil threat of Myotis.

"So...where 'de Sam Hill are we gonna find them keys?" Applejack ask with a frown. "Ah mean, we didn't even look fer any yet."

"I don't know. We were so busy that we didn't have time to do so." Twilight admits to Applejack with a sigh. "Man, my hooves are killing me from all that running around we did."

"So are my wings." Rainbow said, sitting in a stool. "I just want to go one day without going on a crazy adventure that threatens to kill us and all that stuff."

"Like a black hole appearing from out of nowhere and suck us in!" Pinkie remarks in agreement. Suddenly without warning, a black hole appears without warning, "Ooooh! I am psychic again!"

Suddenly the Mane Six yelps as the black hole begins sucking them in. They tried to escape, screaming. Twilight's attempts to teleport prove useless as she scream while the Alicorn and her pals are pulled into the black hole...when oddly enough remains open; At least the sucking stops.

Spike came in with some nachos, looking around. He frowns while asking, "Girls; Hello; Awww, man; why do I get a feeling that something crazy just happened and I just missed it?!"

Pinkamena was reading and her body twitches as the group sees. Golden Heart said in concern, "Something wrong?"

Pinkamena explained, "Well, it seems that the Mane Six was sucked into a black hole to another universe by some strange puppet-like beings."

All were puzzled but know how she acts like Pinkie Pie. Sombra was looking out a window for a bit, seeing the ponies as he said, "So many colors of ponies roam from far and wide, all new and happy, even if bad times come. So much has changed."

He goes back in with the gang.

Rizzo and Walter was passing by Bunsen's law when they saw something's closing inside. The rat exclaims, "Hey Walter! You see that?"

"Yeah, something's glowing...that must mean something's big is going to happen!" Walter exclaims with a smile. "Let's check it out."

"Me first, pal! You get too much screen time in the last two movies!" Rizzo remarks dryly to Walter. The rat apparently had enough of being the background character.

Walter nods; only fair. The two went inside as the black hole is glowing. Kermit calls out, "Bunsen! Is that hole supposed to be glowing?"

"Indeed, that means someone is coming!" Bunsen exclaims eagerly. "Get the mattresses ready for landing, Beakie!"

Beaker replied with his usual meeps as he gets to the mattresses to set them up.

"Hey, what gives here?" Rizzo calls out loudly over the noise.

As Beaker set the mattresses up, Fozzie eagerly explains, "We're going to get some guest stars! Oh boy! I hope it's something neat!"

"Okay, by my calculations, the guest-star or guest stars could land safely." Bunsen said with a grin to the others.

Screaming is heard...as something six familiar ponies fell out of the black hole...and landing right on Kermit, Fozzie, Walter and Rizzo, causing them to yelp as the Mane Six crash into them and not onto the mattresses.

Bunsen paused then said, "I think you move the mattresses a bit too far, Beaker," Beaker meeped sheepishly in reply at this.

"Wheeee; let's do it again!" Pinkie giggles happily as she got up.

"Not in a zillion years." Rarity scowls as she got up, dusting herself off.

"Man, now I remember why I try to stay out of these things!" Rizzo groans as he got up himself. Rarity saw him...and screams in panic.

"AAAAHHHH; A RAT," Rarity screams as she smacks Rizzo a few times with her front hooves.

"Ouch, ouch; Hey lady, ouch," Rizzo screams as Rarity hits him a few times. "Are you nuts?! Ouch!"

"Ooooh! A talking rat," Fluttershy giggles as she flew in and grabs Rizzo, saving him while hugging the rat. "I've never seen a talking rat before; so cute!"

"Huh. Well, that's a first." Rizzo remarks in amazement; First time in years that someone called him 'cute'.

"Fluttershy; He's a rat! He spread diseases and stuff!" Rarity exclaims frantically to Fluttershy.

"What is this? The Plague all over again," Rizzo snaps as he got out of Fluttershy's hold. "Lady, those were ticks that killed off half of Europe, not rats! Stop giving us the anti-rat treatment!"

"Bunsen, when we asked for guest stars, we didn't think of just ponies." Kermit said to Bunsen puzzled. "We got enough equines on our show as it is."

"Oooh, a talking frog," Fluttershy exclaims as she flies over to Kermit. "I haven't seen a talking frog before! He's cute too!"

"Errr, thanks, but be careful. I got one pig being over possessive towards me as it is." Kermit said, blushing by the cute comment by Fluttershy.

"Okay, what's going on?" Twilight demands in frustration. "Why are we being kidnapped?"

"Kidnapped? Don't you mean 'foal-napped'? Wocka wocka," Fozzie laughs a bit eagerly, making some of his own friends groans a bit.

"Ahem, my name is Kermit the Frog, the leader of a group known as the Muppets." Kermit explains to the Mane Six with a grin. "Heard of us?"

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Rainbow exclaims, knocking aside Twilight, "The Muppets; The funniest puppets on Earth?! Megan brought over video tapes of you guys!"

"Megan?" Kermit ask puzzled.

"What? You never heard of Megan Richards, the author of those stories involving her adventures with ponies?" Twilight ask, atching an eyebrow.

"Kermit, I think it's those strange ponies from the same books!" Fozzie exclaims to Kermit with a grin, "And the same ones who appear on Total Drama Equestria!"

"Don't remind us." Twilight remarks in amusement. At least it isn't bad guys that did this, but famous celebrities. "Wait, hang on. Why did you bring us here?"

"Well, here's the thing." Walter said, being the first to speak. "You see, we just got back from our tour in Europe and we decided on restarting the show."

"But we needed guest stars, so Dr. Bunsen Honeydew uses his invention to bring some for us to use." Kermit explains, motioning to the scientist nearby. "It brought you. I apologize for bringing you here without notice but we kinda need some guest-star at this point to help getting our show a-going."

"Well, I don't know..." Twilight said in concern. This is short notice and all.

"Awww, come on, Twiley!" Pinkie giggles, hugging her pal. "This will give us a break from, all the fighting and such that we did."

"Yeah, it would be so cool, performing for a bunch of humans again!" Rainbow exclaims, throwing air hooves into the air. "Besides, at least our lives won't be in danger."

"And I could design very good costumes for all of us, darling." Rarity giggles a bit. "Uh, that Hilda lady still works here, right?"

"No, she retired." Kermit explains to Rarity, making her grin a bit. "Of course, we can always have you do some costume designs."

"Shucks, Ah don't mind showing off some talents or so." Applejack remarks with a smile.

"Well, it sounds...nice." Fluttershy said meekly, although she's a bit stage fright as usual. This isn't like performing for her animals at home.

"So come on, Twilight, how about it," Applejack ask with a smile to the princess.

Twilight saw her friends looking eagerly to her, all wanting to at least give the guest-star thing on the Muppet Show a chance. They are hoping she would agree to this.

"Well..." Twilight started. She started thinking this over as she said, "It was kinda sudden when we were pulled here, but since there doesn't seem to be any troubles for us right now, and that we're all having a break..." the purple Alicorn shrugged as she said with a smile, "Why not?"

"Oh, good," Kermit remarked. "Walter, will you bring the ponies to their rooms, please?"

"Hang on, hang on!" Rizzo remarks with a deep frown. "Can't I get some word in? I'm tired of being the background character!"

"Okay, fine. Rizzo, get the gang around." Kermit sighs a bit, "Looks like we found our guest-stars."

"Thank you!" Rizzo said, "Finally, I get to do something major; Better than that low-talent whistler!"

Walter frowns a bit. He didn't mean to put Rizzo into the background...this stuff sorta happened.

"Rizzo, we know what yew mean." Applejack said with a sigh. "Sometimes Spike get stuffed into 'de background no matter how important he is 'ta us."

"Oh dear, Spike," Twilight said in worry. "We almost forgot about him. Oh, I hope he's all right!"

"So yeah, I came in here, they went missing and that black hole is here." Spike explains, bringing Ben, the CMC and Phobos into the room, pointing to the black hole. "I think they got sucked in there."

"Hmmm, interesting," Ben said, glancing at the black hole curiously.

"You think our enemies are behind this?" Sweetie asks Ben in concern and worry, fearing that the enemies are striking...AGAIN.

"We don't know yet. The only way to find out is to go through on the other end of this black hole."

"Black Hole," A familiar voice spoke up. Chase the Fighter AKA Shadow Dragon (but they don't know that) came in, arching an eyebrow. "What is this black hole?"

"Mommy and my aunties disappear again. We think they've gone through that black hole." Nyx explains to Chase in concern.

"Perhaps the Dark Mystic Ponies are behind this?" Scootaloo ask her friends in concern, "Or those Apocalypse Pony freaks?"

"No, they wouldn't strike so soon...and so are the Apocalypse Ponies." Chase said, shaking his head. The disguised villain got a good reason to say that: he would've been informed should his allies were planning on doing. Nope, this is something outside all together.

"In that case, we should investigate and hope for the best." Ben said in determination. "We best be prepared. Spike, Phobos, get some equipment and snacks."

"Right-o," Phobos exclaims as he and Spike head off to get the supplies needs.

"Girls; I know you wanna come along too and would hitch a ride anyway, so I guess you're in!"

"Yeah," Apple Bloom exclaims with a smile to Ben. "We could come along!"

"Yep, we could be...Cutie Mark Crusader Black Hole Explorers." Nyx said with a smile of delight in finding something that her friends would love to do.

"YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER BLACK HOLE EXPLORER," The CMC cheers out loudly, enough to almost give Chase a bad ear ache if that's possible.

"Chase? Would you like to come along?" Ben ask Chase with a smile. "I figure this could be one step to proving the skeptics wrong about you."

"Yeah, why not? I got nothing else to do." Chase remarks with a shrug of agreement. The villain figures that if he goes along with this, Shadow Dragon would be one hoot closer to winning Twilight's trust. He suspects that she still got suspicions about him...

And rescuing Twilight is one way or another to get her to his side.

In the wacky world of Muppets, the gang is in the stadium, watching as Kermit announces, "Okay, gang! Pay attention, pay attention."

"If we're going to pay attention, we would rather use cash or credits." Pops remarks to his pals, making them laugh hardly.

"Very funny, Pops. Ahem, I got some good news. With the help of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, we got some guest-stars for our show. Tell me, how many remember the pony stories made by Megan Williams?"

"Oooh, I do, Uncle Kermit, I do!" Robin exclaims happily as he waves a flipper in the air. "Aunt Piggy read that stuff and always allows me to read them.

"Ha ha; Ha ha; Ha ha;" Miss Piggy said sheepishly upon hearing that, "Robin dear. Your Uncle Kermie and I aren't married yet...despite how close we did last time."

"Well, hop to it! You seems anxious than before!"

"Silly froggie, isn't he?"

"Well, I read those books." Zoot remarks with a grunt as he waxes his sax. "Those ponies are a bit...uh...80s?"

"Like, for sure!" Janice exclaims with a smile. "I also love those shows that like shows those ponies from Equestria."

"Well, you will be happy to know that we managed to get some of them. From all the way from Equestria: the Mane Six! Yay," Kermit cheers a bit, making the Muppets gasps with glee.

The Mane Six trots onto the theater. Twilight smiled, waving as she said, "Hey guys. Thanks for having us on your show. We promised to make this as entertaining and productive as possible."

"And some dare deviling!" Rainbow exclaims, hovering in the air excitedly, "Hey, where's Gonzo? I wanna do an act with him involving my Sonic Rainboom!"

"Oooh, what an idea," Gonzo exclaims as he suddenly appears near Rainbow, a look of delight is on his face. "An indoor Sonic Rainboom! Uh, what is it?"

"Well, let's try it in the show later and find out!"

"Ooooh, 'dat's risking, Rainbow." Applejack remarks in concern to her Pegasus friend. "Doing yer Sonic Rainboom could end up causing more damages than good."

"Hey, I did it three times before...maybe longer, AJ." Rainbow remarks with a smile, lying on her back in the air somehow. "I can do it indoors, no prob."

"Well, I promised, Princess Sparkle, that your friends' time here on the show will be less painful and more quiet as possible." Kermit said to Twilight who smiles back. At least a break from all the fighting that she and her friends had done is possible.

Suddenly Rarity is heard screaming. The gang saw Animal chasing her across the stage, yelling, "WOMAN, WOMAN, WOMAN, WOMAN, WOMAN!" The two rush off the stage before the drummer came back, "PONY WOMAN! HA HA HA," Animal rushes off to chase Rarity some more, much to Kermit's embarrassment.

"Okay, if you ignore what Animal likes to do for a living."

"Got my knock out darts," Pinkie said sternly as she somehow holds a gun over her side. "Time I catch me an Animal; Ha ha ha ha!"

"Okay, gang, let's get this show ready!" Kermit calls out to his friends who cheers on a bit. "We got to think up some acts and then maybe hope for the best!"

As the Muppets prepared for the rebirth of their show, Robin notes Fluttershy getting a bit scared as she hide behind a tree prop...which got taken away by Sweetums and another Muppet monster. The yellow Pegasus pony shivers a bit in worry.

"Hey, Miss? Are you okay?" Robin asks Fluttershy in concern.

"Oh, well, yes...oh, a little." Fluttershy said to Robin with a sigh. "It's just; I'm a good singer, especially around my friends and animals. But well, I..."

"You got stage fright, right?"

"...yes...."

Robin smiles a bit, coming over and hopping onto Fluttershy's back. He spoke, "Awww, I betcha I could help with that. Stage fright can be a pain but it can be conquered if given the right help."

"Well, my friends tried to pressure me onto stage before...let's say I want to take a few baby steps." Fluttershy said to Robin with a shy smile.

"I promise, Miss..."

"Fluttershy."

"Right, Fluttershy. Why, give me a chance and you can sing your heart out in no time!" Robin exclaims to Fluttershy. "Well, no pressure if you aren't up to it, but still!"

Fluttershy pauses then smiles a bit at Robin's idea. Perhaps she could use some help in her trek to get to singing on stage...one baby step at a time. It would be...nice.

Chapter 2: Let's Start The Show!

The Muppets are already hard at work, getting some new acts and performances ready for the big show. Kermit was shouting out orders to some of his friends.

"Okay, okay, be careful. That prop is for the final number. We can't let anything get destroyed!" Kermit calls out to his friends with a nod, "Scooter? Bring the guest-stars their snacks!"

"Yes, sir," Scooter exclaims as he pushes a tray over to the guest-star door. The Go-Fer knocks on it and opens the door. "Hey, got your food, Mane Six!"

"Thanks, Scooter." Twilight said as she let Rarity uses make-up on her. "Is it edible?"

"That depends on what you mean by 'edible'. Anyway, we got makeup experts; you don't need to do your own."

"Yes, yes, that's true, Scooter, but that doesn't mean we must be lazy without makeup." Rarity insists, pouring makeup onto Pinkie's face, making her sneeze a bit and giggle. "I must do my best to make sure we are in best condition."

"Oh boy, I can't wait to see what to eat." Rainbow said as she flies over to the lid that is covering something.

Rainbow removes the lid...then she and her friends yelps as on the plate are vegetables....that are singing, "My Little Veggies, My Little Veggies, La la la la la!" The Pegasus pony closes the lid quickly.

"Okay, I think I can understand the edible part."

"So what acts does yer pal Kermit got fer us?" Applejack asks, twirling her rope into the air.

"That's thing...we just got back so we're kinda improvising for now." Scooter admits to Applejack with a shrug. "But I'm sure we can think of one thing or another. Gonzo got the idea to work with Rainbow for that Indoor Sonic Rainboom thing."

"Ooooh, ooooh! I wanna do jokes with the bear!" Pinkie exclaims, waving her upper forelegs around. "I am the bestest best jokester in Equestria!"

"Oh, cool! Fozzie would love to do it with you."

"Wit' working 'wit' 'dis bear, he would need all 'de help he can git." Applejack remarked, rolling her eyes. She has seen some clips of Fozzie and his...'joke telling', or lack thereof.

"Well, if you need anything, just let me know and I will come running, even literally if I have to!" Scooter exclaims happily. He leaves the dressing room, leaving the Mane Six to whatever it is that they are doing.

"I feel right at home with all these animals." Fluttershy said gently to her friends.

"The only thing missing is an Orthros." Rainbow jokes a bit, making Pinkie laughs a bit at this.

Flare Tiger chose this time to gallops into the library. Ben, Chase, the Dragons and the CMCs are at this time preparing for their trip into the black hole.

"Ah sense a black hole in here earlier; where's Princess Twilight and the girls?" Flare Tiger ask Ben in concern.

"They are in there, we're about to go in after them." Nyx explains to Flare Tiger with a nod. "Hopefully this won't take too long."

"Or be too dangerous." Apple Bloom comments with a shrug. "Wanna join us?"

"Well...got mah laptop." Flare Tiger said, holding up a laptop of sorts, preparing for the trip. "That's all I need."

"Very well, let's go in." Chase said to the group in determination. "And it's best that we don't make any attention to ourselves."

The others nod as they jump into the black hole...

And find themselves in Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's lab. They look around as Scootaloo comments, "Huh; didn't suspect much to be the lair of a mad scientist who kidnapped Rainbow Dash and her friends."

"Sssh, someone's coming," Spike exclaims in alarm as he hears some footsteps. The group quickly went into hiding behind some machine, preparing themselves for some sort of problem.

By this time, the gang saw Bunsen and Beaker entering. The scientist calls out, "Okay, time we get the machine ready for the Muppet Labs and..." Bunsen notices the black hole still up, "Beakie! Why didn't you tell me that I left this up?"

"Meep meep meep meep meep," Beaker explains clearly to his friend.

"Well, never mind. I better shut this off!"

Bunsen quickly turns the machine off, causing the black hole to disappear. The gang in hiding looks worried or concerned. There goes their way back home. The scientist and Beaker quickly pushes the machine out of the lab, they want to get ready for the Muppet Labs part of the show.

"Is 'dat...Dr. Bunsen Honeydew an' Beaker o' 'de Muppets," Apple Bloom asks her friends in bewilderment.

"Yeah, that is them!" Sweetie exclaims happily. "Oooh, I love those guys."

"Hmm, and yet why did they kidnapped Twilight and the others," Chase ask thoughtfully, trying to do some pondering so to speak. "We best to check this out, Ben."

"Right; Flare Tiger, you're coming with us. The rest of you, stay in hiding." Ben instructs the CMC and the Dragons to stay in hiding. The gang doesn't know what they're fully up against just yet.

The three ponies left the room, making sure that no one else is around. Phobos pouts, "Awww, I wanted to check this place out too. Staying here is soooooo boring."

"Right, but we need to avoid being seen." Spike suggests to Phobos, reminding them that the gang are in foreign territory.

Nyx spots some sort of clothes, a hat and a coat nearby. She pauses, smiling while saying, "Ooooh, I got an idea...."

Kermit was in his office, looking over the acts. Some are good; some are rather...messed up. The frog hopes that the return of the show is a good one.

Suddenly a knock came at the door, making him say, "Come in!"

The door opens as Kermit saw some sort of tall figure in a huge coat, wearing a hat and has a mustache. The figure spoke but in a weird voice, "Yes, is this the office of Kermit the Frog?"

"What the...?" Kermit ask a bit confused by the newcomer. This looks familiar.

Unknown to Kermit, the figure is actually Sweetie Belle, standing on top of the CMC along with the Dragons, trying to move around a bit as if doing their own version of the Muppet Man...except this is called 'The Pony Man'.

"Hi, we are...agent for the Mane Six, yes." Sweetie said in a faux voice. "May we come in?"

"Oh yeah, go ahead. Take a seat and we will discuss how your stars are going to be on this show." Kermit said a bit awkwardly.

Sweetie glances to a seat then whispers to her friends, "Okay, a little to the left."

The Pony Man soon started slowly yet awkwardly heading towards a seat, trying not to fall.

"Okay, careful, careful." Spike mumbles a bit. "Whoa!"

Kermit watches as the Pony Man wobbles a bit, moving backwards to the ground. Nyx yelps as she moves back to get the disguises up a bit.

"Uh, uh..." Kermit said puzzled.

"Careful, careful, to the left," Sweetie whispers to her friends who got over to the seat, "Now sit."

"How can we in this getup?" Scootaloo mumbles a bit to her friends.

"Don't know, try something and hurry!" Phobos complains a bit. "I got a bad inch somewhere on my tail!"

"We're gonna be in big trouble if we bungle at this!" Apple Bloom said quietly.

"Calm down, whoa!" Nyx exclaims as the gang tries to sit the Pony Man down. Kermit kept on blinking a bit.

"Uh oh..." Phobos said, yelping a bit. He begins to groan. "Ah...ah...ah..."

"Oh, horse feathers, he's going to blow!" Scootaloo exclaims in horror, realizing that Phobos is about to sneeze.

"Oh, flanks!" Spike said quietly in panic.

"AH-CHOO," Phobos sneezes so loudly that the whole Pony Man collapses, knocking everyone to the ground.

Kermit blinks as he saw the suit mumbles with four fillies and two Dragons coming out. Most of them groan, "Bless you!"

Kermit slaps himself on the forehead saying, "Oh good grief. First we tricked Miss Piggy with the Muppet Man. Now these guys came up with the Pony Man!"

"Hold it." A voice said as a sword goes near Kermit's neck. The frog gulps as Chase is holding the weapon with Ben and Flare Tiger near him. "Try anything and I will be having frog legs."

"Girls, I thought we told you and the Dragons to stay behind." Ben said to the young ones and the two in disappointment.

"What's going on in here?" Fozzie ask curiously as he and Gonzo came in. "Oooh, is this a new act?"

"Stay back, stay back!" Chase snaps, holding his sword near the two Muppets, making them yelp in shock.

"Look, if you want to kill us, at least gives me a chance to my stunt first!" Gonzo exclaims in worry.

Suddenly the Mane Six came in, having overheard the commotion. Twilight looks surprised as she asks, "Ben; Chase; Flare; Spike, Phobos; Girls?"

"What are you doing here? Chase, put that sword down!" Rarity exclaims to Chase in alarm and worry.

"Twilight," Ben exclaimed as he turned to see the Mane Six, especially Twilight.

"Mommy," Nyx exclaimed happily.

"Mommy," Fozzie remarks, "I didn't know she was in bandages; Wocka wocka!"

"Okay, that was lame." Phobos said dryly.

"Chase, put the sword down. We weren't kidnapped or tortured or anything." Fluttershy said to Chase.

Chase glares at the Muppets then put his weapons saying, "Fine. But I'm keeping an eye on you."

"Wow, do it again! That sounds neat!" Gonzo exclaims eagerly.

"Twilight, we thought ya and your friends were kidnapped." Flare Tiger said to Twilight. "We came in after ya."

"Well, we were pulled in but not kidnapped, sugarcube." Applejack said to Flare Tiger with a smirk. "In fact, we done were asked 'ta be guest stars on 'dis Muppet Show."

"The Muppet Show?!" The CMC asked excitedly in unison on hearing what Applejack just mentioned.

"What is this 'Muppet Show'?" Chase asks puzzled. "I don't watch TV much as you ponies do."

"A show about funny puppets," Flare Tiger giggles in delight. "Is Animal here?"

"Wow! Mommy and my aunties are going to be guest stars!" Nyx giggles happily. "Can we be guest stars too?"

"Well..." Twilight said thoughtfully to Kermit the Frog. "It's your show, Kermit."

"Well, I supposed with more ponies from Equestria, it does make sense." Kermit said with a shrug. "Do you work cheap?"

"Are parasprites annoying?" Sweetie ask Kermit, giving out a cute smile, her eyelids make squeaky noises a bit.

"That's yes, they do work cheap." Rarity said to Kermit slyly.

"Okay, consider yourselves onboard." Kermit remarks with a smile. He nervously glances at Chase. "Just make sure your friend keep his sword on his own person."

"Come on, Chase, loosen up a bit." Ben said to Chase, patting him on the shoulder. "We don't need to fight every day like this. We can entertain."

"Ugh, fine." Chase said reluctantly. Perhaps if he plays along and be a fun pony instead of a fighter, perhaps the stallion could manages to win Twilight's trust for real.

Somehow, he suspects that Twilight didn't trust him for real.

"So we got more ponies and Dragons now?" Rizzo ask Scooter who is writing down in a book. "Wow, we got enough weirdoes as it is."

"Yep! Just be careful around that Chase guy, he appears to be in a fighting mood." Scooter commented. Then he saw Kermit's group coming with the guest-stars. "Oh, here they come!"

"And of course, when you're ready, you can enter the stage from right here." Kermit said, finishing up what needs to be done here whenever a show happens at the Muppet Theater.

"Got it, Mr. Kermit," Twilight said with a nod, "I like to organize things, so I'll see if I can make sure everything in the show goes in order."

"Weren't you going to have Nigel be the host of this show on time?" Ben asks, recalling one of the pilot episodes.

"We were, but he was considered too wimpy." Kermit admits to Ben.

"Oh, Kermie," Miss Piggy exclaims as she came over. "I sure hope you got moi an act on this show."

"In matter of fact, Piggy, I thought I put you in one act with Miss Rarity here." Kermit said, motioning to Rarity nearby. "Some sort of fashion sketch."

"Oooh, I love fashion!" Miss Piggy said in delight. Then she turned to Rarity as she asked her, "Are you a fashionista?"

"Why, darling, I make the most fabulous fashion designs ever, in and out of Equestria!" Rarity replied proudly with her dazzling smile.

"She's your girl?" Spike asked Kermit curiously.

"Well..." Kermit said in hesitance.

"Of course, Kermit and I have been through and through, especially since our little trip to Europe!" Miss Piggy exclaims playfully.

"So why is it that a pig and frog are in love? That sounds silly." Phobos asked in seeing those two is supposed to be lovers.

"Hey, I like Rarity, and we're both Dragon and pony." Spike stated about him and Rarity being like they like each other.

"Yeah, but still, would you wanna enjoy having frog legs and pork chops all together?" Phobos rolled his eyes in stating a fact about having two different foods be together, it just don't fit right.

"WHAT! Pork chops? That's it!" Miss Piggy yelled off in gazing at the little Moon Dragon.

"Um, uh oh...." Kermit yelped in seeing this spells trouble.

"HIIIIYAAAAAH," Miss Piggy then did a karate kick move against Phobos.

"Gaaaugh...ggooough," Phobos was surprisingly sent across the room and bash against a wall, and looked like he was hung up like an ornament.

"Hmph, how'd you like them piggies now, lizard lips?" Miss Piggy huffs off to see what Phobos got to say about her now.

"Ooohhh, I see little piggies dancing around my head." Phobos spoke in seeing many piggy faces dancing around his head from being all dizzy.

"Wow, looks like he got the raw deal, then medium rare. Ahhh...wocka-wocka..." Fozzie responded to tell this joke off, though it sounded bad.

"Okay, note everypony: don't tick off Piggy." Rainbow said to her friends awkwardly.

"Yeah," Applejack agreed nervously.

"You know, I might learn something from Piggy if some nasty stallion tried to harass me or something." Rarity remarked.

"Ah feel the same way, for mah kung fu!" Apple Bloom added with a smile.

"Trust me; I deal with it concerning Boris all the time." Twilight said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, Kermit; Is there a sketch involving me?" Walter asks Kermit with a smile.

Kermit was about to speak, but Rizzo interrupts snapping, "Oh no! Not this time, whistle blower. You got into front for the last two movies! I am not being in the background this time!"

"Awww, come on, Rizzo, lighten up!" Gonzo exclaims to Rizzo with a smile. "He can do an act together with one of the new ponies."

"Its okay, Gonzo, its okay; I can stay out of it if Rizzo wants." Walter said gloomy.

"Let me guess: the new guy who ends up pushing someone in the background?" Ben ask Walter who sighs and heads off, "Oh man; Rizzo?"

"What? I was in the background thanks to the new guy pushing me out!" Rizzo complains. "You tried doing that!"

"Yeah, I was in the background a lot of times." Spike said to Rizzo with a frown. "I was bitter but at least I learn to forgive later!"

"Well, I ain't forgiving Walter. He shouldn't even exist to begin with!" Rizzo remarked rudely.

Kermit groans a bit, shaking his head while saying, "I'm starting to worry about this show." Twilight nods in agreement.

The night has come at last. Folks are arriving in their cars outside the Muppet Theater. Guests, celebrities, even weird things are coming in, ready for the first show of the Muppet Show Reboot.

"Okay, Beauregard, make sure those sandbags are tight!" Scooter calls out Beauregard with a nod.

"Yes, sir," Beauregard exclaims, saluting Scooter...with the hand that is supposed to hold the sandbags up tight. They fell and lands on a Whatnot, crushing him flat. "Sorry!"

Crazy Harry laughs as he pulls some levers in the rafters above, "Crazy Harry's playing with electricity; Ha ha ha ha!"

"Okay, all right, okay!' Clifford calls in from the TV room that was installed during the Muppets' attempt to save their theater from Tex Richman. "Yeah, get ready; we're going to be live very soon."

"Someone kill those lights!" Scooter exclaims to the rafters. He cringes upon hearing the lights being shot at. The Go-Fer rush upstairs, knocking on the guest-stars' door before opening it, "Mane Six and friends! 5 seconds to curtain!"

"Give me a moment; I got to get out of this chair first!" Pinkie exclaims as the chair, which is alive, kept her tightly. Her friends watch on in amusement as she exclaims, "I can't giving up that easily, Mr. Chair!"

The chair growl a bit as the CMC laughs, helping their friend in trying to escape the chair.

Kermit quickly heads up to his usual place behind the Muppet Show logo board. He pauses, waiting as a voice said, "And now...your host, Kermit the Frog!"

The hole opened as Kermit came out and spoke to the audience, "It's the Muppet Show with our very special guest stars...the Mane Six and Friends; Whah!"

The audience cheered for him. The sign with Kermit lift up as the band began playing the music. The curtain pull up, revealing some pillars while Rowlf the Dog play the piano and Zoot toot his horn. Five Muppets came out then they point to the upper arches, where the Muppet ladies and chickens were walking backwards and singing.

Lady Muppets: It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets
On the Muppet Show tonight!

On 'It's time to meet', they peeked out of the arches. At the other side, the male Muppets danced sideways and sang.

Male Muppets: It's time to put on make up
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain
On the Muppet Show tonight!

At the balcony, two Muppets named Statler and Waldorf were there while singing.

Waldorf: Why do we always come here?

Statler: I guess we'll never know

Waldorf: It's like a kind of torture

Both: To have to watch the show!

The band kept on their performance until the Muppet performers sing again.

Muppets: But now let's get things started!

Audience: Why don't you get things started!

"Is this a reboot really?" Waldorf ask Statler with a frown.

"Yeah, which means it will get booted off the stage again!" Statler jokes, making the audience laughs.

Kermit was sitting on the floor of the stage as he sang.

Kermit: It's time we get things started

As they all sang, the camera pulled back as it revealed each Muppet on arches.

All: On the most sensational
Inspirational
Celebrational
Nominational
This
Is
What
We
Call
The Muppet Show!

Then, the sign saying 'The Muppet Show' came down. Inside the hole was Gonzo holding a horn. He blew on it, which results in a big burp to come out of it.

"Excuse me!" Gonzo apologizes as the audience laughs.

Author's Note

The song at the end is the intro song. If there are those who want me to remove it for some reason, say so now and I will edit ASAP.

Chapter 3: The First Few Acts

The audience applauds as Kermit came up on stage. He spoke, "Hi-ho there, welcome to the Muppet Show. We just got back from our insane tour in Europe and I'm proud to say that we're rebooting our show with some new acts and maybe some classic old ones. And to make things interesting, our first guest stars are the Mane Six from the world of Equestria and some of their friends."

The audience awe at this. Kermit nods while saying, "Yes; before we say hello, time to say goodbye."

Kermit move aside as the curtain roses for the first act. The audience applauds as we see some small frogs on stands, doing some singing to some music.

Frogs: Na-na-nah-na, na-na-nah-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye
Na-na-nah-na, na-na-nah-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye

We see a Whatnot appearing, pulling a lever causing a frog to fall through a trapdoor, making the audience laughing. He begins to sing.

Whatnot: (Goodbye), Goodbye, it's over, we're through, it's done
Our relationship is no longer one on one, so I quit girl
I don't need this, I'm disgraced 'cause in my face
You spin, I quit steppin' out with another guy
And after givin' you my love I deserve to know why
How long has this been going on, how long have you been doin' me raw
You thought I didn't know, you thought I'd never go
Well, that's why I'm makin' this song, to say goodbye

The Whatnot pulls the lever, causing another frog to fall through another trapdoor.

Frogs: Na-na-nah-na, na-na-nah-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye
Na-na-nah-na, na-na-nah-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye

More frogs fell through more trapdoors. The audience laughs some more as the Whatnot continues.

Whatnot: Pack your bags, leave, get out of my site
I won't share you with another man on any night
You try to play me for a fool, but now you see you've been schooled by the E
And it's plain to see, you thought you had luck like a four-leaf clover
Your luck just ran out, home girl it's over
I hope you had a lot a fun, were you lyin' when you said that I was number one
Well, I guess it doesn't matter, it makes no difference
I caught you with a smokin' gun, or so to speak, girl you a natural sneak
And the hand you dealt me was really weak
But that's alright, you won't see me cryin', I brush a girl off when I catch her lyin'
So when I toss you out don't dare ask why, don't try to return with a tear in your eye
That's just my way of sayin' goodbye

Frogs: Na-na-nah-na, na-na-nah-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye
Na-na-nah-na, na-na-nah-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye

The Whatnot tries to pull the lever once more, but a trapdoor opens underneath them, causing him to scream as he fell through. The frogs exclaim happily, "Goodbye!"

The audience laughs and applauds. In the balcony, Statler remarks, "Well, these Muppets sure have weird ways of saying goodbye."

"Yeah, I got one too: I'm going." Waldorf jokes, making the audience laughs.

In the backstage, Kermit nods to the Whatnot and the frogs coming; He spoke, "Okay, nice work, nice work. Don't say goodbye yet. We got more hellos to give."

Gonzo in his daredevil outfit smiles as he came over, saying, "Hey, Kermit; Like my Daredevil outfit?"

"Yeah, it looks good, Gonzo. Did Rarity make it for ya?"

"Yep! Oh boy. Me and Rainbow are excited to be performing our indoor Sonic Rainboom act! We're going to bring down the house!"

"Well, try not to. We still got bills to pay." Kermit remarks to Gonzo with a gulp.

"Hey Gonzo," Rizzo exclaims with a frown as he came over. "How come you don't let me in your acts anymore?"

"Wait, I let you in my acts?" Gonzo ask Rizzo a bit confused.

"I mean as pals. We used to hang out together. But now? You just acted like I don't exist."

"Huh? Who said that?" Lew Zealand yelps as he passes by, looking around to see who spoke. "Is that a ghost?"

"Rizzo, calm down, buddy," Gonzo remarks to Rizzo with a chuckle. "We just got our theater back and just came back from Europe.

"Rizzo, if you're just so upset, we can get you ready for the next sketch." Kermit said to Rizzo, the rat smiles a bit as the frog speak into the intercom. "Stand by for the Veterinarian Hospital sketch."

"What," Rizzo ask in shock and alarm.

The audience sees the next sketch which is the Veterinarian Hospital one. As Miss Piggy, in her usual gown, is eating some ice cream, a narrator is heard, "And now, Veterinarian Hospital, the continuing story of a quack who has gone to the dogs."

Miss Piggy put the ice cream away as she goes over to Rowlf (as Doctor Bob) and Janice with Rizzo on the table. The dog remarks, "Okay, Nurse Janice, what do you got?"

"Oh, like, a bad hair day, but whoever notices?" Janice jokes, making the trio laughs a bit. "But seriously, our patient is a rat."

"Well, I thought I smell a rat!"

"Hey back off! I bathe daily!" Rizzo exclaims in defensive, making the trio laughs some more, "Seriously, Kermit? This is the best you can do? Make the background character a prop for this?"

"Well, time to begin." Rowlf remarks as he grabs Rizzo and hits him on the table, making the audience laugh. "Wait, hang on. Where's the patient?"

"I'm right here! I am not a prop, I'm a rat!"

"Well, I sure won't ask you to do my taxes."

The audience laughs some more as Rizzo is put back onto the table. Miss Piggy giggles, "Doctor Bob, you should ashamed of yourself. You shouldn't treat your patient like that."

"You're right...I should treat my patient to some ice cream!" Rowlf jokes, making everyone as well as Rizzo surprisingly laugh.

"Well, for once, a joke we agreed with!" Rizzo laughs in amusement.

"Well, before we begin, how is our patient's paying for this?"

"In Swiss."

"What, money?" Miss Piggy asks Rizzo, arching an eyebrow at this.

"No, cheese,” Rizzo jokes, making the audience laughs.

"Hey, buddy, I make the bad jokes in this sketch!" Rowlf remarks to Rizzo, a bit irritable.

"Well, yeah, but when are you going to get to them?"

The women went 'oooooh'. Suddenly they look up confused as the narrator spoke, "And so Doctor Bob has the spotlight stolen from him." Some part of the sketch went dark a bit. "Like so. Tune in next time when you hear Doctor Bob says..."

"Well, time we operate on this patient. Get the Catsup!" Rowlf exclaims to the nurses in amusement.

"Why? I ain't hungry." Rizzo said, looking a bit confused.

"Nope; the cat is up!"

A cat appears on the table, meowing madly causing Rizzo to scream as the usual actors laughs a bit. The audience applauds once the sketch is over.

Backstage, the cast as well as Muppet of the previous sketch came into the backstage area. Kermit calls out, "Okay, very good, very good. Nice work, Rizzo."

"Thank you, Kermit." Rizzo said, "I'm glad people love my comedy." The rat glared at Walter as he added cruelly, "A lot better than the newbie Walter, I say."

"Hey come on, knock it off, Rizzo." Robin said as he brushes Fluttershy's mane. "I don't see how you have to act that way."

"Ignoring," Rizzo exclaims as he heads off in satisfaction.

"Oh dear, is he always like this?" Fluttershy asked Robin in concern.

"Normally, when it comes to being left out," Robin commented to Fluttershy with a shrug.

"Kermit, darling," Rarity said, wearing some familiar glasses as she came over to Kermit. "I am ready for my next number."

"Right, good. Your sketch with Piggy is coming up." Kermit said to Rarity with a nod. "Hope you're eager for the randomness we got around here."

"Why, darling, I am ready for anything." Rarity said with a smile on her face.

Kermit nods as he heads off. Miss Piggy came over, speaking to Rarity gently, "Rarity, dear, I know you are a guest-star here so I will make this polite as possible..."

"Yes?" Rarity asks Miss Piggy curiously.

Miss Piggy frowns, getting upset as she snaps, "Call my frog 'darling' again, and I'll..."

"Piggy, darling, I always call people that!" Rarity assures Miss Piggy before she finishes. "I know deep down you two are meant for each other. I would be a fool to do something foolish like take him away now."

Piggy paused before she said with a smile, "Well, why didn't you say so? Pardon moi for jumping to conclusions."

"What can I say? Sometimes we freak out at the wrong conclusion." Rarity said with a giggle.

"Yeah, like having pork chops that makes you hungry like a horse!" Floyd Pepper jokes a bit as he came by.

Miss Piggy and Rarity glares angrily at Floyd, then both say at the same time, "Oh yeah?! Well, be hungry for this; HI-YAH!"

The two karate chop Floyd at once, sending him flying across the room.

"Nice chop there, Rarity." Piggy complimented the white unicorn for doing like she did.

"Thank you, darling." Rarity said with a giggle, "I thought I could follow your lead at being beautiful, fashionable, and tough."

"Girl, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship!" Piggy said with a grin as she and Rarity head to the stage.

Onstage, Kermit arrives, speaking, "Okay, time for our next performance, starting one of our guest stars, Miss Rarity, in a fashion hit. So here we go!"

As Kermit moves aside, the audience applauds as the curtain raise up, revealing a fashion shop. Rarity is at a desk, humming, "Oh yes. It's good to start opening day. Oh yes, I am so hoping for my customer."

Miss Piggy is seen humming as she came in. The pig looks around, speaking to Rarity, "Excuse me? Are vous the owner of this shop?"

"Why, yes, darling. Welcome to my beloved boutique!" Rarity said proudly.

"Good, good. I am looking for something in my size." Miss Piggy said with a nod. "Can I see a dress in a size extra L?"

"Yes, I will get my employee to help." Rarity said as she rings the bell, "Oh, employee!"

An employee, played by Bobo the Bear, came in saying, "Oh yes, madam; Bobo the Bear at your service madam!"

"Please get Miss Piggy an extra L." Rarity said to Bobo. The bear nods as he left. "Just hire him today. He is a bright young bear."

"Back," Bobo exclaims as he came back...holding two letter Ls in one paw. "Would you like it gift-wrapped?"

The audience laughs as Miss Piggy looks bewildered. She asks, "What is that?"

"Oh, your extra L! We got two, you can have one if you want!" Bobo explains to Miss Piggy, causing the audience to laugh.

The two look at each other as if asking 'you're kidding right'? Miss Piggy snaps, "I didn't come looking for a L!"

"Ahem, Bobo, darling, Miss Piggy wanted something in an Extra Large." Rarity corrects Bobo with a forced smile.

"Oh, right, gotcha." Bobo said, nodding as he heads back to get something.

"Okay, he isn't so bright, Miss Piggy, but the dear is trying." Rarity said back to Miss Piggy sweetly.

"Still..." Miss Piggy remarks with a grunt.

"Back," Bobo is heard calling. The two scream, and the audience laughs, as Bobo came back with Sweetums who glares at them, "Got you an Extra Large Monster! How shall I wrap him?"

"No, no, no!" Rarity corrects Bobo in alarm. "We don't want a monster."

"Oh, that's okay. I won't shed!" Sweetums insists to Rarity, making the audience laugh some more.

"Ugh! Honestly!" Miss Piggy exclaims angrily, getting annoyed. "I wanted some clothes meant for a pig!"

"Ooooh, clothes meant for a pig! Gotcha," Bobo exclaims eagerly as he took Sweetums back.

Miss Piggy sighed a bit, shaking her head while saying, "Rarity, you should do something about that boy."

"Darling, relax. This is Bobo's first day." Rarity assures Miss Piggy with a giggle. "I know he will give you the right clothes this time."

"Got it," Bobo exclaims as he came back...with a pair of overalls and a familiar cowpony hat. "Farmer clothes, for you!" The audience laughs like mad.

Rarity puts a hoof to her face at this in annoyance before she asked Bobo in annoyance, "Bobo, no, no, not farmer clothes, and where did you get the hat?"

"'Dat's mah hat," Applejack scolds as she came onto the scene and grabs her hat from Bobo. "'Dat's mine!"

"Look, all I need are some clothes for moi in an Extra Large that I like." Miss Piggy said with an annoyed groan. "And you know what? I want to wear them for myself!"

"Ooooh, why didn't you say so," Bobo ask Miss Piggy with a chuckle. "Follow me. Walk this way!" The bear walks in a weird way as he heads off. "Come on, walk this way."

"If she done walk 'dat way, she would be on all fours by now." Applejack jokes, causing the audience to laugh.

Miss Piggy follows Bobo offscreen. Rarity remarks with a sigh, "I got to reconsider my employees and their smartness."

"Shucks; come on. No one can be 'dat dumb 'ta mess up one more time." Applejack insists to Rarity right back. "He done could 'git it right, right?"

"Okay! We're done!" Bobo exclaims as he came back with a smile, "Got the right clothes that fit someone like Miss Piggy!"

"Oh good. What did you pick? Something fit for a princess, right?" Rarity asks Bobo with smile, thinking that the worst is over.

"Okay! Where is he?!" Miss Piggy snaps angrily as she came in...wearing a strait jacket. The audience laughs as the pig roars, "Let me at him! Or better yet, get me out of this!"

Applejack rolls her eyes as she turns around. Miss Piggy kept on yelling, "No one makes a fool out of me and..."

Applejack hits Miss Piggy with her back feet, sending her to the floor, unconscious. Rarity of course shrugs it off, saying, "Will that be cash or credit?"

"Apples," Applejack remarked, shrugging. The audience laughs and applauds as this act came to an end.

In the balcony, Statler comments, "Eh, this show manages to get one thing right."

"What's that?" Waldorf ask Statler, pondering his colleague's choice of words.

"This whole show is full of nuts and the theater is a nuthouse!" Statler laughs a bit, making the audience laughs a bit.

"You kidding; we're nuts! We keep coming here!' Waldorf reminds Statler, making the audience laugh out loud.

Backstage, Rarity and Miss Piggy came back in. Spike was watching from a step, saying, "Hey, nice performance, Rarity! You were beautiful!"

"Why, thank you, darling." Rarity said with a proud smile.

"Ah did good too!" Applejack remarks as she and Bobo came in. "Though next time, Bobo, watch mah hat!"

As Spike begins to eat some jewels, Rizzo came in, eating some cheese, remarking, "Oh man! Do I rock or what; More than that nitwit!"

"Say, Rizzo? Why don't you lay off Walter?" Spike asked Rizzo in concern. "I mean, he didn't mean for you to get almost forgotten."

"Hey, listen, buddy. You may get used to stuff like that, but I don't!" Rizzo remarks with a frown on his face. "How you'd like it if your friends abandon you for someone that just came in off the streets?"

"Rizzo! I know what you mean. I was a bit jealous when I was in the background, almost considered forgotten." Spike said to Rizzo with a sigh. "I mean, before Nyx and Ben showed up, it was normally just me and the girls. But when they do, I sometimes get shoved into background, even by accident, and I was jealous. But after a while, I got used to them. Believe me; you shouldn't be jealous of Walter just because of some minor incidents."

"And why shouldn't I, lizard lips?" Rizzo asked rudely.

"Because you may say or do stuff you'll regret later!" Spike calls over to Rizzo who huffs and leaves. The Dragon sighs, shaking his head.

Rizzo is acting like what Spike used to act like!

In the news room, the Newsman is heard booming, "This is a Muppet Newsflash!" The Muppet rushes in to his desk and looks at his paper. "Reports are coming in about people collapsing to too much cuteness. Although it is never explained why, sources suggested that it comes from four little fillies. But I think that's..."

The Newsman stops as he saw the CMC and Nyx on his desk, smiling. The Muppet asks, "Excuse me? I'm doing a report here? Can you..." Suddenly the four grins and blinks their eyeballs, making a squeaky noise. "No! Too cute; Stop, stop!"

The four leans forward, causing the Newsman to scream as he fell to the floor, making the audience laughs. Nyx giggles, "Cute every time!"

In his dressing room, Walter sighs as he plays the piano. Ben comes in, speaking, "Walter; All right if I talk with you?"

"Sure, go ahead." Walter said depressed as his new pony friend came into the room.

"I've noticed you aren't practicing lately. Is it because of what Rizzo said?"

"Yeah, sort of; It seems he is mad at me because...well, ever since I came onto the Muppets, I ended up pushing him into the background. I mean, I didn't mean to! It sorta happens."

"Oh, I know how you feel." Ben said to Walter, patting the Muppet on the back gently. "Before Nyx and I came along, it was normally Twilight, her friends and Spike. When we arrived, Spike got pushed into the background and he wasn't happy. But after a series of events that are too gruesome to explain, we managed to overcome it."

"You think maybe if I'm lucky, Rizzo could accept me?" Walter asks Ben hopefully.

"I don't see why not. Rizzo will have to get over his jealous nature sooner or later."

"Yeah...so tell me, is it true that you're the son of Celestia?"

"Sure am...and I am not a Gary Sue of course despite what others think." Ben answers Walter, frowning at the Gary Sue bit.

"I thought your name was Ben Mare." Walter said confused, apparently unaware of what 'Gary-Sue' meant.

Onstage, the Swedish Chef is singing his theme song while Pinkie stood there, smiling. Once he's done, the Muppet mumbles his fake Mock Swedish stuff.

"Oooh, today we're making a good treat, courtesy of me, Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie giggles to the audience while translating for the Muppet. The Swedish Chef spoke in Mock Swedish once more. "I called it 'Rainbow Cupcakes'."

The Swedish Chef remove a lid...revealing a tied up Rainbow who yells out, "Pinkie! I told you! I am not doing this again!"

"Awww, come on! Do it for Swedish Chef!" Pinkie saw the Swedish Chef getting the chainsaw, speaking in Mock Swedish once more. "Now it's time to cut!"

"I'm outta here!"

Rainbow quickly manages to flies off, getting away from the table and knocking everything over. The audience laughs.

"Oh well. Who wants pizza?" Pinkie asks the Swedish Chef who shrugs a bit.

In the balcony, Statler remarks in disgust, "'Rainbow Cupcakes'? Who would want that?"

"Apparently whoever watch this show," Waldorf remarks, making the old men laugh at that.

Backstage, Rainbow scowls at Pinkie who smiles innocently, "Seriously, Pinkie; seriously?!"

"It was a joke, lighten up." Pinkie insists to Rainbow who groans a bit.

"Okay, stand by for the next number." Scooter calls out, calling out for any performers for the next number. During this time, the Mane Six and some of their friends did some talking.

"So where's Chase?" Gonzo ask his pals curiously.

"In his dressing room; He always likes to be alone for some reason." Twilight said with a sigh of concern. "I don't know what he does when he isn't training Ben."

"Still suspicious of him, Twiley," Ben asks Twilight, arching an eyebrow at this.

"I want to trust him...but I still got some doubts about him."

"So tell us, any o' ye partners got nasty foes ta worry about?" AJ asked in wondering if their new friends have problems to face.

"Aaaaah, that's a funny question. We usually get maybe one or two of them during any of our shows." Fozzie spoke off to mention this out here.

"Well you should be very lucky, where we come from, we have to trifle against far greater foes." Rarity spoke humbly in knowing that these Muppets are lucky.

"Um, what...sorta foes are you so scared about?" Walter asked with worry in finding this scary news.

"Try the Apocalypse Ponies and then there's the Dark Mystics, they're really a bad organization kinda foes." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in pointing out two listings of foes.

"Gulp....um....s-s-so if any of them came here, just 'how' dangerous are they?" Kermit gulps in feeling that those sound like awful foes.

"They're a part of the Three Lords of Equestria, from third to second in ranking of how powerful dangerous they are." Twilight explained the cause of their enemies and their strength.

"Wait....you only gave out two, who's the last guy?" Rizzo asked off in seeing a missing piece to the puzzle.

The ponies looked worry about what the rat notice, they fear of dare telling them this.

"Oh dear, we don't wanna scare you, but....he's the most scariest and....well, meanest villain of them all." Fluttershy spoke in concern to not alarm the Muppets of their problems back home.

"So who is he?" Ruff asked in not sure what was so bad about the last foe.

"The imprisoned enemy of Tartarus, the Overlord King that controls a vastly large army of forces, the one who is said to have the power to be called a god; be he's more a Demon God to terrify all Demons even the strongest bunch." Twilight explained this with caution and concern, for what she has to say is already sounding grim to the Muppets, "The Dark Elf himself; Grimmore." She spoke the very name of the Demon God himself.

Suddenly, wolf cries are heard along with thunder and lightning & the room shook as if the mention of the name seems to cause everything to respond as if shaking in fear. The Muppet gang yelped from being so terrified that they saw what was happening from just saying the name of the absolute worse foe from the ponies’ universe.

"Wow, but saying his name be very grim, indeed. For the more we say it, the grimmer it be. Ah, Wocka-Wocka..." Fozzie spoke off in seeing how much of a ruckus happened here while making a joke.

"Um, Fozzie, I think it's best we DON'T mention that name. It seems to frighten our friends here. And....the rest of us too," Kermit spoke worried that saying a Demon God within their own world off border of Equestria seems to cause a bad effect.

"I'll say, just saying the name caused everything to shake uncontrollably, it's like saying it frightens our wide range of where we stand." Scooter spoke from calculating the matter of what they witness, the scale of saying Grimmore could be very bad if they arn't careful.

"So what happen if we say it a few more times?" Gonzo asked off in wanting to try out a theory here. "Like....if I wanted to be crazy and repeat the name, I say...Grimmore! Grimmore! Grimmore! GRIIIIIIMMOOOORE," He was crazy enough to say the name so many times, he even shouted that last part which made the ponies yelp in great fear of the weirdo's idiotic thought of what he was doing without realizing the common sense.

Suddenly a very large and massive shaking was causing the entire building to shake to bring much of it down to even be seen outside that it cause the outside spot of the Muppets' Theater, to cause panic crowds, quakes shaking up traffic, and we don't even know where a volcano came from along with a tornado, a tidal wave, and GODZILLA rampaging across town.

"PLEASE! Let’s not say that name too much!" Twilight begged the Muppets to not be saying that name without caution.

"I-I-I agree; besides....I think we upset the whole state if we're not careful and get the bill." Kermit shook a bit in fear from seeing how much damage is going on, and to think, the worse is getting the bill for all of this.

"Okay, so much for using that dangerous act in my next gig." Gonzo shrug off to say in seeing where he won't be doing crazy stunts of saying Grimmore so recklessly anymore.

"Trust me, you live happier that way." Rainbow rolled her eyes to point this off to Gonzo.

"Yeah, those crazy stuff happening now out there, don't come by or happen here unless it's Taco Tuesday." Walter issued off to say from seeing all the great disasters that happened, that usually happens on a Tuesday, and when there is a Taco sale.

Autumn Gem was on the train still wearing her cloak and holding the scarf tightly as she says in mind, 'If that note spoke the truth, I will see my love at Canterlot Gardens; Sombra my one true love. I will see you soon.'

Autumn Gem gives her ticket to the ticket pony as he punches a hole and gives it back to her and heads off as she waits.

Chapter 4: Cute Filly Songs

The audience applauds as the next act begins. The 80s Robot got on stage, turning on a music part of himself to start some music. The audience laughs a bit as the robot begins dancing the 'Robot', moving around to the music.

Whatnots, Frogs and Chickens came in, looking amazed then they all dance along, doing whatever dances that enter their mind. The 80s Robot moves around, unknowingly knocking his co-stars off the stage.

The audience laughs as this goes on until the 80s Robot leave. The extras kept on dancing, having a bit of fun...until they look confused as the 80s Robot come back, dancing on the ceiling. Impossible; Yes, but this is the Muppets we're talking about here!

The 80s Robot kept on dancing without a care...until he fell off the ceiling, crashing into some Whatnot. Regardless, the 80s Robot got back up and dance until the audience applauds, ending the act.

In the balcony, Statler comments, "Say Waldorf? Can you do the Robot?"

"Yes, but I can't do this show either." Waldorf remarked, making the audience laughs.

Backstage, Chase came down, grumbling. Flare Tiger came in, saying, "Hey Chase! Listen, Kermit needs some actors for 'de Pigs in Pigs in Space sketch. Ah volunteered to be in it; How about yew?"

"Look, I don't have time for that nonsense!" Chase snaps to Flare Tiger in annoyance. "I got other things to do."

"Awww, come on. Live a little. At least pick a costume 'dat yew can be in and be something other than yerself."

"Hmmm, any costume?"

"Sure! 'Dat way, the princess could be satisfied if she can see 'dat yew ain't so bad." Flare Tiger remarks with a giggle. Chase pauses then smirks in realization. He does have one item on a 'costume' to use...and it would throw his doubters off his tracks.

"Well, I do got one idea." Chase said sinisterly, making Flare Tiger giggles.

In space, the SS. Swine Trek flew in space as the narrator booms, "And now...PIGS IN SPAAAAAACE!" As the theme music plays, we see the cast's heads appearing, "Starring the Incompetent Captain Link Hogthrob; The Beautiful Yew Deadly First Mate Piggy; And the Always There Dr. Julius Strangepork."

We go inside the ship as the crew looks worried.

"When we last left the S.S. Swine Trek...well, something happened, just watch."

"Oh, I think I lost my toupee!" Link groans a bit then yelps. "Uh, I mean my shampoo...I mean...oh, can someone tell me what's going on?!"

"I don't know! We haven't done this in a while!" Miss Piggy complains to Link, "Why don't we come up with anything new?!"

"I want my mommy!"

The audience laughs as Strangepork announces, "Captain! We are being boarded by a terrible warlord!"

"Did that happened or do you made it up?" Miss Piggy asks, giving Strangepork a glare.

"Hey, I got to say something to get this plot going."

"What plot?"

The audience laughs as Link heard pounding on the doors. He yelps in fear, "Oh no! We're being attacked by rats!"

"No, it's the evil warlord whose name I can't figure out yet! He's about to come in!" Strangepork exclaims frantically.

Suddenly the doors blew up, making the crew gasps in horror. Soon Chase appears...as his real self Shadow Dragon. The villain boomed out, "Behold, foolish pigs! I am Shadow Dragon!"

"It's Shadow Dragon!" The crew gasps in horror.

"Oh no, not Shadow Dragon, anything but Shadow Dragon; Uh..." Link looks confused then turns to the others. "Who's Shadow Dragon?"

The audience laughs. Strangepork explains, "He is the warlord of his own planet who wishes to take over the universe! Hey, I come up with something interesting."

"Yes, I am Shadow Dragon...in a role played by one of the guest-stars. Therefore, your other guest stars will have no reason to doubt me." Shadow Dragon said quickly. The Dark Mystic Pony figures that as long as everyone else thinks he's only playing a role in this, no one would be the wiser. "And now, I have come to your ship, making demands or you shall face the wrath of my pet."

"Your pet," Miss Piggy ask Shadow Dragon with a scoff of disbelief. "Like some animal would scare moi!"

"You asked for it! Come forth...Ancient Ryu-Yasha!"

The audience laughs as Flare Tiger came in, dressed in some sort of animal costume, growling. She giggles, "Ah always wanted 'ta play a villain!"

"Eeek, oh no, please, no! I won't want to be bitten!" Link whines a bit, hiding behind Miss Piggy in fear. "I am too beautiful to die!"

"Beautiful?" The other two pigs scoff a bit.

"Now here are my demands! Be my slaves or you shall be eaten!" Shadow Dragon exclaims with an evil laugh. He then grabs a coffee mug nearby saying 'World's Greatest Grandma'. "Then I shall take this...because I want to!"

"Oh, not my coffee mug! I always like being the World's Greatest Grandma!" Link whines a bit, making the audience laughs.

"And second, the pig shall be my love slave."

"What? What," Miss Piggy snaps angrily as she heads over to the villain. "Listen, buster! I may take all the wisecracks from Link Dorkthrob and Julius Nerdpork here, but I am no one's love slave!"

"You do as I say or I will have pork chops tonight!" Shadow Dragon booms evilly. The audience laughs as Miss Piggy looks furious.

"Oh yeah; Well, have this; HI-YAH!"

Miss Piggy throws one mean karate chop that send Shadow Dragon flying out the doors, crashing outside. The audience laughs a bit. Flare Tiger pauses then comments, "Ah got 'ta say. Ah waited a long time 'ta see 'dat!"

"That's why we don't tick off the pig." Strangepork remarks with a nod.

"Oh no!" Link gasps in fear as he notices something outside. "He broke my World's Greatest Grandma mug!"

The audience laughs as we go to outside the ship. The narrator said, "Has Shadow Dragon been beaten for good? Will Miss Piggy ever get a new job? And is Link really the World's Greatest Grandma? Find out the answers in the book version of...PIGS IN SPAAAAAAAACE!!!!"

Shadow Dragon, Flare Tiger and the pigs came back in. Kermit nods as he said, "Very nice, nice work, guys, especially you Chase."

"Thank you. Now I want to go into my normal wear. Do not disturb me." Shadow Dragon said as he heads back to his dressing room to disguise himself as Chase once more without anyone knowing.

"See, Twiley?" Applejack asks Twilight with a smirk. "Chase ain't Shadow Dragon. He was playing a role."

"True, but still..." Twilight said in concern and hesitation, pondering if she should trust her friend at her word.

"Okay, time for the next act, what do we got Scooter?" Kermit ask Scooter with a nod. Things are doing well tonight.

"Well, to be honest...kinda nothing," Scooter said in concern, noting a blank after the Pigs in Space sketch. "We didn't schedule much acts in time."

"Scooter, we got to schedule something!"

"Hey mommy," Nyx exclaims as she and her friends came up. "Can me and my friends do an act on this show?"

"Well, Mr. Frog, I think you may have something from Nyx." Twilight said thoughtfully to Kermit with a smile, "How about it?"

"Well, sure, we're willing to take anything at this point." Kermit said with a shrug as he walks to the stage.

"Cool, I got this rapping act that I wanted to try!" Nyx remarks with a giggle while her friends smile eagerly. They cannot wait!

Kermit came out on stage, speaking, "Okay, time for something very interesting."

"You're going to cancel the show?" Statler jokes making Waldorf laughs a bit.

"Ahem, as I was saying, this next act co-stars four fillies known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders. So put your hands, hooves or whatever you got together for them! Yay," Kermit exclaims, moving away as the audience applauds as the curtain raise up.

"Helloooo, Muppet Show!" Scootaloo called out with a grin as the audience applauds.

"Oh, look, Statler, a talking chicken!" Waldorf jokes, making Statler laughs a bit.

The orange Pegasus filly frowned in annoyance as she shouted, "Why do people always call me that? I am NOT a chicken!"

"Ignore them, Scootaloo, they're just hecklers." Apple Bloom assures Scootaloo.

"Yo, we got an act that's inspired by my Auntie Pinkie Pie!" Nyx remarked, rapping a bit. "We're going to kick it Equestria style, yo! Hit it, Spike!"

Spike nods as he is nearby, hitting the radio, causing rapping music to play. Then, Nyx used a bit of magic on herself and the CMC, emitting a slightly bright flash. When the light resided, the four fillies were now wearing rapper outfits. Then, as the CMC began to dance, Nyx started some beat boxing to go with the rap.

Nyx: Boom, che! Boom, boom, che! Boom, che!

She then imitated the turntable scratching noises a bit.

Rap, rap!

Now Nyx began rapping the rap she made in inspiration from her aunt Pinkie, who was watching from backstage looking surprised at first. In fact, the rest of the Mane 6 and Ben Mare were looking surprised as well.

I used to be a villain by the name of Nightmare Moon,

And I was resurrected one month after...

Nyx and CMC: June!

Nyx: The prophecy was fumbled unintentionally...

Nyx and CMC: Though,

Nyx: But then, Twilight Sparkle found me and took me to her...

Nyx and CMC: Abode!

Nyx: I used to be so shy around ponies...

Nyx and CMC: Everywhere,

Nyx: But time went swiftly by and I am glad they really...

Nyx and CMC: Care!

Nyx: At school, I met my friends, and they requested me to...

Nyx and CMC: Join

Nyx: The Cutie Mark Crusaders and they...

Nyx and CMC: Never disappoint!

Nyx: One day, I was corrupted by that evil nighttime...

Nyx and CMC: Cult!

Nyx: And then I was transformed into a powerful...

Nyx and CMC: Adult!

Nyx: Spell Nexus and the other ponies were...

Nyx and CMC: Corrupted, too,

Nyx: But thanks to my defending, I showed that...

Nyx and CMC: Evil won't pull through!

Nyx: And with Princess Luna's help, I'm back to normal...

Nyx and CMC: With no tricks

Nyx: So I can permanently stick with my on little name...

Nyx and CMC: Nyx

The Mane Six and Ben Mare's shock turn to delight as they started getting into the beat.

Nyx: I met my dad who was once a...

Nyx and CMC: Demon Pony,

Nyx: Because of a big meanie known as Boris...

Nyx and CMC: The evil phony!

Nyx: We all teamed up against him and got daddy...

Nyx and CMC: Back to normal,

Nyx: And now he lives with us in Ponyville...

Nyx and CMC: So very cordial!

Nyx: We all had many different adventures...

Nyx and CMC: Altogether,

Nyx: And everypony knows that...

Nyx and CMC: We'll all be friends forever!

Nyx: Friends forever in Ponyville...

Nyx and CMC: Yeah!

Nyx: Friends forever in Ponyville...

Nyx and CMC: Unh!

Nyx: Friends forever in Ponyville...

Nyx and CMC: Yeah!

Nyx: Friends forever in Ponyville...

Nyx and CMC: Unh!

Nyx: I love to live in Ponyville with all my pony friends!

The rap ends as Nyx, Apple Bloom, Sweetie and Scootaloo stood on their hind legs and crossed their forelegs together.

The audience applauds at this. Statler and Waldorf cheer on, "Bravo, bravo!"

"What did we just watch?" Statler asked Waldorf curiously.

"Either we watch something good for once...or we have gone senile." Waldorf remarked, making the audience laughs.

Rainbow grinned from backstage as she said excitedly, "That... was...AWESOME!"

"Yeah, cool, isn't it?" Scootaloo ask with a smile.

"Nyx, you definitely got my rapping skills!" Pinkie complimented the former Nightmare Moon filly.

"Nice work, fillies, especially you, Nyx." Kermit said to Nyx with a nod.

"Thanks, Kermit!" Nyx said with a smile.

"Okay, Fozzie, get ready for your number." Kermit calls out to Fozzie who nods and prepares himself.

"Kermit," Twilight ask Kermit as she gallops over. "I want to ask you something."

"Uh, sure, Twilight; Go ahead," Kermit said with a nod, allowing Twilight to talk.

"Well, it's about Chase. I mean, I want to trust him but...I still got some doubts of him." Twilight said to Kermit with a sigh of concern. "I don't wish to be proven wrong if I trust him or not."

"I see. Do your friends trust him?" Kermit ask Twilight curiously, making her nod. "Well, here's an idea that could help: give him a benefit of the doubt."

"Would that work?" Twilight asked Kermit hopefully.

"Yep; like a wise man once said, 'Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves'." Kermit explains to Twilight.

"Tell me about it!" Bobo remark as he appears, holding a rope. "I got some rope but still not enough to hang myself with!"

Kermit groans as he explains, "What I mean is, you can trust Chase for now but can still hold him in precaution. That way, you can be proven right either way." Kermit explains. What the frog meant is that if Twilight can still give Chase the benefit of the doubt, she can trust him but still be precautious around him.

Twilight thought of this for a moment before she responded to the green frog, "Okay, Kermit, I'll give it a try, and we'll see what happens."

"Good." Kermit said with a nod. "Try not to lose your head. Unlike certain folks we got around here."

Twilight saw a headless Whatnot walk by, much to her amusement. Did that really happen?

"I'll try." Twilight nodded in reply.

Kermit goes out onstage, speaking to the audience, "All right, moving along, folks, time for some cheap laughs and giggles. Time for our favorite funny man..."

"Why bother tricking us? We know you're going to send out the bear!" Statler remarks, making Waldorf laugh a bit.

"Hey, come on, you guys. Fozzie works so far to prepare himself for this!" Kermit complains to the two men to give his best friend a chance for once.

"For what; His retirement," Waldorf remarked with a laugh.

Kermit groaned at this. He hates it when those two guys always heckle Fozzie. "Well, then, let's Fozzie handle it from here!" Kermit remarked. He moves aside as Fozzie's music plays.

"Hiya hiya hiya," Fozzie laughs as he came out onto the stage, "Oh boy! You look like a wonderful audience!"

"Apparently, you need glasses!" Statler remarks, making Waldorf laughs a bit.

"Say what you want, fellows, because my new friend and I are going to make you laugh!" Fozzie remarks with a smirk.

"If it's those freaks you work with, we're laughing at how pathetic that is." Waldorf comments in amusement.

"Well, folks, put your hooves together for my friend, Pinkie!" Fozzie exclaims.

The audience applauds as Pinkie bounces out, wearing a pair of Groucho Marx glasses. She jokes, "What is this; an audience or a wax museum?"

The audience laughs a bit. Fozzie remarks, "Okay, my segment tonight is going to be different!"

Pinkie got out her party cannon, giggling, "Because we are going to fire out stuff at the audience!"

"Ready, aim, fire," Fozzie exclaims.

Pinkie and Fozzie moves the party cannon around, firing party stuff and treats at the audience like mad. After a while of doing this, almost everyone is cover with party treats and decorations, one member blows a party horn.

The audience pauses as if in shock...then applauds loudly. That was great!

"Wow, thank you, thank you!" Fozzie exclaims eagerly. "They love us, Pinkie!"

"Yeah, we put the 'par' in 'party!" Pinkie exclaims happily.

Kermit watched from backstage and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow! Thanks to Pinkie, Fozzie's performance is a success!"

As the two came off stage, Waldorf bust the debris off of himself, commentating, "Wow, for once, the bear came through. What do you think, Statler?"

Statler blows his party horn, making the audience laughs.

Backstage, Pinkie bounces in, with Fozzie following, saying, "Nice work! We should do this often."

"Beauregard, can you go out there and clean up for the next number?" Kermit calls out to Beauregard.

"Okay! Can I keep any of the good stuff?" Beauregard ask Kermit hopefully.

"Only if it's edible, go on." Kermit orders Beauregard, motioning him to go off onto the stage to clean up the mess left behind.

"Pinkie, thank you so much for making my act so spectacular," Fozzie exclaimed happily.

"Yep; what kind of friend am I not to?" Pinkie giggles.

As Beauregard leaves to clean off the stage, Scooter appears, saying, "Chief, we got another blank spot."

"Great, we need something to fill it in." Kermit mumbles a bit. He glances at the CMC members. "I don't suppose you girls got a song you wanna sing, do you?"

"I have a song." Sweetie said, but then, she looked a bit uncomfortable as she said, "But... I'm not quite sure if I should sing it in front of a live audience."

"Come on." Walter said as he pats Sweetie on the back. "I used to have stage fright too but I got over it."

"Hey, bub! Let a real Muppet do this!" Rizzo snaps as he shoo Walter away. "Anyway, kid, some of us got stage fright but they got over it. Come on, I've heard ya sing backstage before."

"Right, just do that teddy bear song you loved to sing." Nyx said to Sweetie with a smile.

"I love that song, but..." Sweetie started, "...you think I can do this?"

"Hey, just put your mind to it. You can conquer anything." Rizzo said with a smile. Sweetie pauses then grins a bit.

"I guess I could give it a try." Sweetie said hopefully.

"I will go introduce you." Kermit said as he heads off stage.

Rizzo sticks his tongue out at Walter, remarking, "See? Did it better than you did."

"Sure, rub it in." Walter frowned, "You arrogant little rat."

Onstage, Kermit appears, smiling as he said, "Folks, we got a little treat for you. A little filly is about to perform for you all. So give a warm welcome to Miss Sweetie Belle!"

Once Kermit moves, the audience applauds as the curtain raise up. Sweetie appears, doing her best not to panic.

"Hey, folks; I got a cute song that is in tribute of one of my best friends!" Sweetie giggles as she pulls out a teddy bear from out of nowhere, "My teddy bear! I called him 'Button' after a friend of mine, a colt who, for some reason, disappeared."

"He probably heard you sing!" Statler jokes, making Waldorf laugh a bit. Sweetie gulped a bit at this.

"Hey, just ignore them, Sweetie Belle!" Rarity calls out to Sweetie. "You can do it, just give it all you got."

Rowlf rolls in on a piano. Sweetie nods as she gave him some sheet music, saying, "Okay, here's the song. Can you play it, Rowlf?"

Rowlf took the sheet music and looked it over a bit before he said, "Sure I can, Sweetie. I know you'll do great."

"Phobos," Sweetie asks as Phobos came in with a toy piano. "Give me a cute tune. Then at a certain point, Rowlf will join in."

"Got it," Phobos spoke before he began the song on the toy piano. The lights on the stage dimmed down until the only light seen was a spotlight on Sweetie, who hugged her teddy bear as she began to sing.

Sweetie: Me and my best teddy bear

Sitting in my favorite chair,

We are going out to play

Just like every day.

I got lots of friends out there

And they're lots of fun,

But they're not my teddy bear

Sweetie smiled as she spoke the next part of the verse, "He's my favorite one."

Rowlf took over, playing his piano as Sweetie holding her bear, dancing as the scene changes to a playground.

Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready

Gettin' all ready to play.

Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready

Gettin' all ready to play.

As Sweetie sang the next part of the verse, she got used her magic to hold the bear while Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Nyx went onstage and they all danced together, especially by doing the same bouncing strut they did when they found the perfect stallion for Cheerilee; Big Macintosh.

You know, I've got a lot of friends that I play with.

You know, I've got a lot of friends who are fun.

They stopped bouncing as Sweetie held her teddy with her forelegs as she hugged it.

But then they can't do anything like my teddy,

'Cause my teddy, he is the one!

As Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Nyx ran offstage, the scene changes once more to show Sweetie and her teddy bear looking like they're preparing for bed.

Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready

Gettin' all ready for bed.

Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready

Gettin' all ready for bed.

Sweetie got onto her bed as she held her teddy bear while singing.

You know I'm never really frightened at nighttime.

You know I'm not even scared of the dark.

'Cause with my teddy right here alongside me

I'm not even scared of a shark!

As if on cue, a shark appeared. The audience laughs as Sweetie laughs at it, making the Muppet shark heads off. Then the scene changes to Sweetie getting ready for school.

Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready

Gettin' all ready for school.

Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready

Gettin' all ready for school.

Sweetie puts her teddy bear down to a chair as she sang the next part.

I got to leave him at home

By himself all alone.

As she sang that, she puts on a pouty face as the music stopped for a moment. Then she instantly perked up as she sang the last part.

But he doesn't mind, and that's cool.

That's cool!

The song ended as she did an adorable smile. The audience applauds a bit. Sweetie smiles a bit in relief. Her song was a success.

"Wonderful, wonderful," Statler said in amusement. "Waldorf, did you have a teddy bear when you were that young?"

"Yes, and I still got him as old and raggedy as ever." Waldorf remarks with a nod.

"So who is it?" Statler ask Waldorf curiously.

"You are." Waldorf commented, causing Statler to look at him in annoyance. The audience laughs.

Sweetie and her pals came back stage. The others and the Muppets cheered for them. Kermit exclaims, "All righty, all righty, nice work, Sweetie."

"I...I did good, right?" Sweetie asks with a hopeful cute grin on her face. She hugs Button, her teddy bear. "We did it, Button."

"Well, well, looks like you found your true talent, eh Sweetie?" Twilight ask Sweetie with a smile, hoping that this performance will prove to her what her true talent is.

"Hmmm, maybe...but I will leave it on the backburner as my sister would say."

"Your performance is marvelous, Sweetie Belle, simply marvelous." Rarity said as she nuzzles her sister. "And this time, I got to see you perform."

"Yeah, unlike the disastrous play you did!" Scootaloo giggles a bit, making Apple Bloom frown at her. "What?"

"Looks like my advice tops yours, Walter," Rizzo laughs to Walter. "Veterans beat newbies."

"Okay, Rizzo, enough!" Ben snaps to Rizzo, getting between the two Muppets between a fight break out. "You have been being a jerk towards Walter for too long. Don't you realize that he has a right to be with you? And none of this background nonsense."

"He's right. You and Walter should be friends, not enemies!" Spike remarks in agreement. "Can't you two just shake hands?"

"Well, I ain't shaking hands with someone who swims in his own filth!" Walter snaps angrily, making Rizzo angry while some of the others gasp.

"Oh yeah; Well, maybe I don't wanna shake hands with someone who’s a scene stealer!" Rizzo exclaims angrily. "You're better off not being around, you...you Gary-Sue!"

Some of the ponies and Muppets gasp a bit. Kermit groans, "Rizzo, now that's going too far!"

"Big deal; who gives a tail?"

Rizzo storms off to his dressing room. Walter groans as he heads off to his own. Ben sighs, shaking his head while saying, "'Gary-Sue'. I remember when some folks called me that. Not pleasant."

"Definitely the critics on deviantART and fimfiction," Pinkie remarks a bit while eating some cupcakes.

Twilight got some serious thinking to do. She needs some way to get Walter and Rizzo to make up and become friends. But how; it isn't easy.

Kermit got back in front of the stage a while later, speaking to the audience, "Well, folks, we are doing quite fine on the show. And we're bringing back a classic act: here is Mahna Mahna; whatever that means."

The audience applauds as Kermit moves out of the way. The curtain pulls up as two Snowths appear, beginning to sing.

Snowths: Do do do do do de do do do do do do do do do

A familiar Muppet, Mahna Mahna, appears nodding as he begins to sing.

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo be-do-do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do do-do do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!

Mahna Mahna begins to perform a scat solo, the audience laughs. The Snowths look at him oddly as he does this. When Mahna Mahna notices his backup singers are watching, he scats in confusion then goes back to the song.

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo be-do-do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do do-do do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!

Mahna Mahna scats more, moving around as such. After a while of doing this, he notes the Snowths looking at him oddly, making him scats in concern. Mahna Mahna then heads back to the background, singing sadly.

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo be-do-do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do do-do do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!

In the background, Mahna Mahna scats a little by himself. The Snowths watch him does so for a few seconds. Once he's done and notices, Mahna Mahna scats some more then rush back to the front.

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo be-do-do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do do-do do

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!!!!

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo be-do-do

Mahna Mahna rushes off stage quickly, heading pass Kermit and Twilight, much to their notice.

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do do-do do

Mahna Mahna is heading to the exit as he made another line.

Mahna Mahna: Mahna Mahna

Snowths: Do doo de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do de-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!!!!

The telephone rang which Kermit answers, "Hello? Hang on." The frog came onto the stage and gave the phone to the Snowths. "It's for you." The two listens in.

Mahna Mahna's Voice: Mahna Mahna

The Snowths jump up startled while Kermit just frowns at this. The audience applauds once the act's over.

In the balcony, Statler ask Waldorf curiously, "I never got my answer, what is a Mahna Mahna?"

"And as I asked you years ago, who cares?" Waldorf remarks, making the audience laugh.

Author's Note

Another performance well done. Will Walter and Rizzo make up? Will Fluttershy and Rainbow perform? More to come so read, review and suggest.

Sweetie Belle's teddy bear song came from the Ask CMC Tumblr.

Chapter 6: The Grand Finale

Pinkamena is watching the show. The pink pony comments, "This show with the Muppets and ponies is funny but I hope that the Mane Six and friends will get back home soon and also soon Jack will come with the guest."

The others nod as Sombra just nods lightly and waits.

The audience applauds as Kermit got on stage, smiling as he said, "All right, folks, to end things off on the Muppet Show, it's time we go back to school. Featuring the Mane Six and their friends, here it is: a combination on both friendship and other stuff!"

The audience applauds again. Kermit moves as the curtain opens for the final number; It is of a school cafeteria, we see much of the students, considering of Muppets were at lunch period during the hour, doing their thing; eating & chit-chatting. Bunsen and Beaker were working on their chat and math problems by their table. The Electric Mayhem with Floyd playing his guitar were just hanging. Two Monsters were showing the muscle and spinning a glass on one finger to impress two female Whatnots by their table. Certain Muppets were just chatting and eating with fashion on their subject.

Course with knowing who join their table was probably Rarity who was wearing a Canterlot Wonderbolts t-shirt for this sketch. But as Rarity sat at the table, she tilted her head to look another way.

Next come Rainbow Dash to sit by the Monsters' table, wearing the same school team t-shirt. Then the mare looks towards someone.

At the moment, Flare Tiger, Lorcan and Michael were picking up their choice meals in the lunchroom. Course by then, Pinkie Pie was seen coming into the picture wearing the same team outfit, looking for her lunch.

At this time, Pinkie Pie picked up her tray, and instead of picking up food, she started to tap it on the platform server. She started to make some sorta rhythm beat go off for a moment. The filly smiled to happily be doing this while looking around, expecting something.

As if on the calling, underneath another table, Rarity's hooves stomped together then separate at a time to follow another beat rhythm. Then if that wasn't enough, Rarity looked around to start clapping her hooves into the same rhythm beat that were earning her table's attention.

Then from the animals table, Fluttershy was seen wearing her uniform shirt as she bangs the glasses in her two upper hooves on the table. This earns Walter's attention as he saw her do that as Fluttershy smiled to look towards another spot in question.

The action of what was going own made Chase stop eating his apple to notice this. And then Applejack was seen at a table in the same school shirt while sitting with the CMC; Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Applejack clapped her hooves, slap them to the table to do a rhythm work of clap and slap (that kinda rhymes too).

And by Rainbow Dash's Monster table, she smirked to tap her tray on the table to follow the same beat.

It wasn't long before the noise of a rhythm beat is heard in the lunchroom that some began to pay attention as the camera zooms from what Rarity is doing with her table with her group.

During the moment, a radio was hooked to the wall by the cord while some Dragon claws pressed the play button. And from the bag was Spike; next to him was Phobos as they watched with smiles that helped to bring a more musical beat to the rhythm being done here. And Phobos had a camera out to help him record this, this was gonna be worth to remember for later.

Now things were really gonna start, as suddenly the Mane Five stood up from their tables to join in what was playing out to be....sung by them. And it was gonna be called ‘Helping Twilight Win the Crown’, in honor of their friend.

Mane Five Girls: Hey Hey everybody!

The mares jumped to skip across the sides to meet the other while they clapped.

We've got something to say.

Rainbow Dash popped up to announce what they have to say that 'must' be heard.

We may seem as different! As the night is from days!

Pinkie Pie was seen clapping to look around before running on down. And we see Rainbow Dash joined by Fluttershy to her right and Applejack to her left to clap in happily announcing this fact about their differences.

Would you look a little deeper!

As Rarity clapped in the middle, Rainbow & Fluttershy run to her left and right side which Applejack & Pinkie Pie followed to join in sync performance to groove their arms around in saying what they wanna say.

And you will see,

Then the ponies turn their hooves to clap the other side to happily sing and held them hands out to the other below.

That I'm just like you and you're just like me

Now the mares, Pinkie Pie to Fluttershy and Rarity to Rainbow Dash in happily stating to point that the other is just like another of them, no matter the difference outside as they pointed to themselves.

Yeah!

On the 'yeah' part, the five got in a pose like a cheer squad now while a ray of light from a billboard made it extra effective.

Now a little screen scenery was being done. From a blue background, Applejack moved her proud head to the front of the camera while Rainbow Dash grooved to her appearance with her full body seen in the background. Then from a red background, Pinkie Pie popped her head down from above while Rainbow Dash popped her head under with the two looking and smiling at the other. Then from a color orange, Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie saw the other, turn around to have their hips bump the other while smiling. Now the entire group was seen in an emerald background, making poses; Pinkie Pie jumping, Rarity being a diva, Fluttershy being cute, Applejack tipping up her cowboy hat, and Rainbow Dash looking awesome.

Then the song went back to playing again here with the Mane Five singing.

Hey hey everybody!

Applejack & Pinkie Pie marched down the floor in pumping up their upper fore legs while holding hands to get everyone's attention.

We're here to shout,

As Rainbow & Fluttershy looked to the other, the screen zoom away to show Applejack by Rainbow & Pinkie Pie near Fluttershy to raise their upper fore legs up to make a shout out.

That the magic of friendship is what...it’s all about.

Rarity was seen grooving around Fozzie with her happy smile in making the bear look around, and when the pony left from her playful game, he smiled from it being...fun; Soon a scene of Fluttershy winking & Rarity holding up her arm proudly in a pose about the friendship theme being the center of attention.

Yeah, we thought they were different as the night is from the day.

Then the fillies lead down like a straight line; Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack, just before stopping to point at the Muppets and co-stars in different areas while being in complete sync rhythm. The Mane Five were grooving on the latter parts and held up their upper forelegs to cheer off there.

Until Twilight Sparkle helped to see another way.

As the others watched, Uncle Deadly, in sunglasses, was nodding his head in getting into the beat here. Then Applejack surprised the Muppet, removing his sunglasses. Uncle Deadly was at first surprised, but instead of being mad, the song, dance, performance was making him...happy. Like a message reached him.

So get up, get down.

Now from a pink background, the Main Five jumped up, then lifted their right lower leg to stretch off, stood up.

If you're gonna come around.

Then the mares spin around to stop afterwards while doing a great job on the performance.

We can work together helping Twilight win the crown.

The five jumped to march forward, held their knees to jiggle and then swing off their arms up and declaring what they can do to make Twilight become the next Fall Princess as their message.

So get up, get down cause it’s gonna make a sound.

Then Rainbow ran up, stood up on a chair to wave off her arms to tell the Muppets what to do. She leans, and on the 'down' part, her chair lean far to hit the ground, but she was unhurt. Then Rainbow Dash turn to dance in front of herself being recorded on a camera to point and say her message out.

If we work together helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown.

As Scooter films this with a smile, Rainbow & Rarity came up to him to happily speak their message to which he smiled from such nice ponies. And then the scene shows Fluttershy & Applejack jump up to reach the skies in announcing what they can do.

Then suddenly in a Fourth Wall Break moment, Pinkie Pie push the screen to show herself in a red background before...taking over to sing.

Pinkie Pie: Hey Hey!
Hands up now!

Pinkie showed her hooves in wanting the gang to show the hands up for her.

We're sending a message to the crowd!

Then another scene showed her upside down, shouting out her message through a blow-horn that unleashed a wind burst to blow Janice's face by surprise.

Hands way up, then come down.

Then Pinkie Pie approached Sweetums from the Monsters to hold his arms upwards which he found weird a bit before the cheery pink pony put them down.

Then we'll party together all around!

Then Pinkie Pie slid across the floor in front of Swedish Chef's bar to see the mare stop and spin around happily like.

Then the scene began to mix with singers and scenes of the five mares.

Rarity: Generous. Honesty.

The scenes of Rarity being generous with her smile and Applejack being the honest type with a proud smile from her face.

Applejack: Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty.

A scene showed Pinkie Pie making a silly face while being of laughter, then a bashful Fluttershy of her kind nature, and a tough Rainbow Dash pointing to herself in being loyal.

Fluttershy: Twilight helped us each to see,

Fluttershy smiled to shrug her hooves to hold her friends Applejack & Pinkie Pie close to her while commenting who helped them.

Rainbow Dash: All that we can be

Rainbow Dash appeared on the table to proudly declare this out in a boostful manner of what they can 'all' be.

"Here comes 'de important cue, ponies!" Flare Tiger calls as everyone all sing together.

All: A True, True Friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help you see
A True, True Friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a True, True Friend

And now the Mane Five group sang together now.

Girls: So get up, get down.

The Mane Five repeated their earlier act of marching across the floor.

If you're gonna come around.

Rarity jiggled a bit to point across to where Rainbow waved her 'V' fingers across her eyes view.

We can work together helping Twilight win the crown.

Then the friends gather together to hop a bit, cross their upper fore legs to wave downwards to their sides, and raise them right arms up in declaring who they can help get the crown.

So get up, get down cause it’s gonna make a sound.

Now Fluttershy & Pinkie rush down with open leg to announce what the gang should do. Applejack pulled up Animal's chair that made them yelp to join. The mares were dancing around to put on a great performance with Rarity tapping her hooves & Rainbow swinging it.

If we work together helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown.

The others watched the five ponies march in a line to clap their hooves in signaling this off. Then Pinkie Pie & Rarity came near the double doors to then open them up to reveal...Twilight. She wore the same team school shirt to support what her friends are doing. Ben is near by her. As she smiled on her appearance, this time, she begins to sing to make a real good impression.

Twilight: I have to find a way
To make this all okay
I can't believe this small mistake
Could've caused so much heartache

CMC: Oh why, oh why?

Twilight: Losing promise
I don't know what to do
Seeking answers
I fear I won't get through
To you

CMC: Oh why, oh why?

Twilight: But I'm gonna be myself, no matter what I do and

Twilight tap her upper fore legs to her chest to state about who she'll be and wave a hoof to make it clear on what she'll be…herself before waving off.

If we're different, yeah, I'll probably just be true to you.

As Twilight walked passes her friends, she sang off about being true to another and Floyd Pepper from his Electric Mayhem group saw this. And on the last part when Twilight looked up to him, did Floyd get determine, and played his guitar to help boost this campaign act.

If you follow me, we'll put our differences aside.

Twilight stood in the center, as she swirl around to say sing of what she can do to make all differences from them all, be put aside for a better time.

We'll stick together and start working on that school pride.

Twilight leaped up to a table, and offered with her honest face to a student of what they'll do for another, she turn to wink at the camera screen, and held up her arms to sing out this message for all to hear while the other Main Five circle around to lean towards their main person to be voted for. It was around now that they all began to sing now.

Girls: 'Cause a True, True Friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help you see
A True, True Friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a True, True Friend

Jump up, make a sound

Twilight lead her friends to jump up in the air and wiggle around the side afterwards.

Stomp your hooves, turn around.

Then they stomp their hooves on the ground and then did a spin act of spinning around before stopping.

Start now, make a change.

Rainbow turns to point this out as some turn to another with smiles to nod at this, liking it.

Gonna come around.

Now Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity were on a table to clap in signing out this message.

Jump up, make a sound

Then Pinkie Pie helped up Gonzo which both smile to join in. Then from the other table did Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Fluttershy pop up, making three other frogs smile to this.

Stomp your hooves, turn around.

Pinkie Pie looked down on the ground where someone stomp their feet and Rainbow spin a tray in front of another Monster guy that smiled in feeling the message connect from the song.

Canterlot Wondercolts, help her win the crown.

Then Rarity & Applejack stood up high on a table with the CMC & Chase. The Monsters were shaking their heads left & right in loving this while Floyd smiled at this before he saw his two band mates near Twilight about to jam into this gig.

Jump up, make a sound

Then Twilight appeared near Ben to wiggle to the groove while Floyd played a good beat to help out.

Stomp your hooves, turn around.

Then Pinkie Pie throws something in the air as Muppets caught what were tails & pony ears to be apart of this.

Start now, make a change.
Gonna come around

And the scene even shows Nyx giving out the same stuff to those she knows that aren't bullies here. Michael puts on his pony ears and turns to see Lorcan put his on, shrugging as he reluctantly helped out before putting a belt with a tail next before shaking it around to the beat. Nyx could only smile in seeing this, these two are silly.

Jump up, make a sound

Soon Spike and Phobos jumped up to happily clap their claws in the air.

Stomp your hooves, turn around.

Then a scene of more feet was stomping on the ground to reveal two Whatnots hugging another to celebrate. And soon the scene zooms away to show, the entire Muppets are dressed with pony ears and tail to dance to this beat.

Canterlot Wondercolts, help her win the crown.

All the Muppets were joining in, jumping, tapping their hips, stomping their feet, etc. The Mane Five dance off from their line form to issue this off to the Muppets again. And soon Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow, & Fluttershy showed their heads to wave across for all to stare...right at Twilight waving happily to her fellow actors.

Jump up, make a sound

Now the scene shows Floyd Pepper rocking his guitar with his band adding more music effect here.

Stomp your hooves, turn around.

The scene slowly shows the others happily dancing with the other, no matter which they are or should belong to, it doesn't matter anymore.

Start now, make a change.
Gonna come around.

Jump up, make a sound
Stomp your hooves, turn around.

Canterlot Wondercolts, help her win the crown.

"Now the finale," Nyx exclaims as the song is drawing to a close.

A True, True Friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A True, True Friend helps a friend in need
To see the light (To see the light)
That shines (That shines)
From a True, True Friend

Once the performance is done, the audience applaud wildly. Twilight and her friends laugh happily. It's good to do this again...even though the princess did this in her own home world.

Jack Zen is waiting at the in Train station as a train stops and ponies come out. He watches and sees the pony in her cloak with the red scarf. Jack Zen moves to her and says, "You Autumn Gem?" She nods slowly as he smiles. "Good, follow me to the Canterlot Gardens. I had informed Golden Heart and her sister about the train coming; they will meet us there later on."

He heads off as she follows close soon; Autumn Gem will see him after so many years.

The audience applauds as Kermit came back onstage, speaking, "Okay, not bad for our return to the variety show kind, I hope we do this again in the future. BUT before we go, let's give a round of applause for the Mane Six and their friends; YAY!"

The audience applauds as all the guest stars came out. Twilight giggles as she said, "Thanks, Kermit. My friends and I had a great time."

"Yeah, very great," Rainbow remarks with a smile. "It's also good to see Walter and Rizzo working together."

"Yeah, I hate to see anything bad that ruin their friendship." Kermit comments with a shrug.

Suddenly, an explosion is heard as Walter and Rizzo are sent flying out. Ben exclaims, "What the hay?"

"Hey, I thought you two are friends now!" Kermit exclaims as Walter and Rizzo got back up.

"Still are! Gonzo was testing us for his next act!" Walter exclaims eagerly. "Two out of a cannon!"

"I'm starting to reconsider my friendship with him!" Rizzo groans a bit from the pain.

"And here he come flying!" Walter exclaims, seeing Gonzo about to shoot himself out of a cannon now.

"Incoming!" Gonzo shouted, and then, he shoots himself out of the cannon.

The gang screams and moves. Chase wasn't lucky as he got slammed into by Gonzo.

"Chase, Gonzo; Are you okay?" Fluttershy ask worried as the two got back up.

"Wow! What a finish, right into Shadow Dragon!" Gonzo laughs madly.

"Gonzo, Shadow Dragon was a role I was playing!" Chase exclaims nervously, "Horse feathers. This whole show is turning into one explosive moment."

"Did someone say explosive?!" Crazy Harry laughs as he appears, holding the detonator.

"NO!" The group screams; too late as Crazy Harry pulls the plunger, causing an explosion. Fluttershy yelps as she hid behind Twilight.

"I hate him! He's scary!" Fluttershy whined in fear.

"Okay, let's see you folks again on the Muppet Show!" Kermit exclaims quickly to end the show.

The audience cheers as the band performs the theme song to close the show. Once they're pausing, in the balcony, Statler remarks, "You think they will let the ponies back on this show?"

"You think they would let ANYONE back on the show?" Waldorf answers with a question, making the audience laughs.

The band finishes the theme song off with Zoot doing a loud saxophone song, looking bewildered.

Later, all the cast members came near Bunsen's lab area while Beaker was helping out put away some things.

"Well, everyone, it seems you're all ready to head on home. Beaker lets bring them to the portal machine." Bunsen replied off in knowing what this scene was beginning to be seen as.

"Meep-Meep," Beaker replied off in hearing that, as they'll get ready.

Soon, everyone was following the two scientists to where they would head to the place to return home. But during the slow approach, everyone was having chats.

"Whoa! That was good." Spike remarks to Lorcan, commentating on his song.

"Thanks..." Lorcan remarks in a disguised voice.

"Man; that was so awesome," Rainbow exclaims, throwing air punches, "And my Indoor Sonic Rainboom? Best stunt ever!"

"Yeah," Scootaloo agreed excitedly, "Rainbow Dash is the best!"

"Oh, it was nice...though the explosives were too much for me." Fluttershy said meekly.

"Awww, come on, we knew yew did well in yer song." Flare Tiger said to Fluttershy with a chuckle. "Best o' all, we got through it wit' no enemy attacking whatsoever."

"Yeah, she's right!" Nyx exclaims happily as she jumps into the air. "No fighting, just some acting and fun! We actually have a non-adventure for once!"

"And we deserve to have others like these once in a while!" Apple Bloom added with a smile.

"Right, yeah." Chase said with a slow nod; So far, so good...for him.

Finally, the gang approach a white curtain over something that was kept conceal.

"Now we'll fire up the machine, and send you home now." Bunsen issued forth in what shall be done to insure that the ponies, and baby Dragons, get back to Equestria from where they originally came from; the portal device.

Soon the curtain was pulled back and there was a dramatic trumpet sound, but.... When the curtain was fully open, what was seen was....nothing. There was nothing there but empty space, no high-tech dimensional portal machine anywhere to be found.

"Hey! Are you pulling our legs here?" Rizzo snapped off in seeing this as some kinda joke.

"Yeah; where's the device?" Phobos also asked off rudely that this was no laughing matter.

"Oh my, I was certain we parked it right here to be kept secretly hidden." Bunsen yelped to say in seeing the device they had isn't around, how strange, what could have happened to it?

"Meep-meep, meepmeep-meepmeepmeep," Beaker approaches with a note in hand, as he gave it to Bunsen to read.

"Oh, it seems this note is telling us what happened." Bunsen spoke off in looking at the paper in getting the right bearings.

"Well...um...what's the note say?" Kermit asked off nervously in having a bad feeling, the note isn't good news.

"We're sorry for the inconvenience, but the government officials have taken your machine to Area 51, to be reverse-engineered for other scientists to learn of its function." Bunsen read off the note of what shock the group, some officials took the device that was their only means of getting home. "P.S., you should have asked before performing a universal dimension portal device to bring ponies from a cartoon universe into our world; unless you have a license for both categories. Signed....Depth Tu-Yul," He read that last part off on the message about some comical matters while reading who wrote the note.

"Death To You?!" Spike yelps at hearing the last three words there.

"We're being threatened?!" Rarity gasped in feeling that isn't a good thing.

"DEATH, DEATH, DEATH!" Animal exclaims in horror.

"No, no! Our enemies are attacking, run like mad!" Pinkie exclaims, freaking out while running around the area like mad.

"We're gonna be stuck here forever, and we're gonna die!" Sweetie cried in fear.

The Muppets run around like mad, hitting and trying to escape. Kermit groans in frustration. His friends...

"Here, allow me to fill in the blank, this note's signature is by...Depth Tu-Yul, not Death To You, as so clearly misunderstood." Bunsen held the note where the gang saw the written signer, as Depth Tu-Yul, which from how it sounds, sounds like 'Death To You' by some weird chance.

"Oooohhh...." The others responded in figuring out that message there; that makes better sense.

"But wait, how are we supposed to get back now?" Twilight asked off in feeling that this doesn't change the situation they are in.

"And how long must we wait?" Rarity asked off in not feeling this was good, how long are they going to be staying here now?

"Well, you may have to wait for 8 to 16 weeks until Beaker and I can get a license for dimensional crossing and bringing migrated ponies outside our world, by then, the government officials should return our machine,” Bunsen issued forth in what was the term of logic of the wait for them.

"HOLY! That means we'll be here for like...8 to 16 chapters!" Pinkie Pie gasped off in realizing how long that might take them.

"Oh no, that sounds bad." Fluttershy yelped in hearing this, that doesn't sound pleasant at all.

"Great tarnations; we can’t be here fer 16 weeks or chapters, or whatever! We got responsibilities back home!" Applejack protest that the ponies can’t be stuck here, they gotta get back home.

"Yeah, if we're stuck here, then we have to pray that the Three Lords don't take over. The Apocalypse Ponies, the Dark Mystics, even Grimmore!" Rainbow Dash was issuing off the worse case scenario of where their home world gets taken over by the three worse villains group in history.

Suddenly, the entire area was shaking like mad that caused everyone to panic a bit. Once the shaking stopped, did they sigh in relief; they forgot that Grimmore's name, even being mentioned, causes this Muppet world to tremble and shake in fear while causing unnatural disasters.

"Oops! We forgot, when you say that name, everything here goes crazy." Nyx sheepishly spoke that everyone forgot to be careful of speaking the Demon God’s name here; it’s too scary that the whole planet reacts to it.

"Apparently so," Ben shook his head in feeling this whole situation wasn't looking good. "But what maybe a problem is finding places to stay." He pointed out another issue that the ponies gotta deal with.

"Well, we can have some of you stay in our own trailers." Walter spoke in feeling they could let the ponies group sleep with them.

"Like a cave, like how bears sleep." Fozzie pointed out this about what bears sleep in.

"Or dog houses, like where I live." Rowlf pointed out in where he lives in, a dog house from being a dog.

"Or a rat hole, if you catch my drift." Rizzo pointed a nearby rat hole in the wall; no WAY would anyone fit in there.

"And who knows, maybe we can have you guest starring on our show, like anyone complaints about you guys." Gonzo shrug off to randomly say what could be a positive note, the gang can be like regular guest stars cast on their show.

"Cool!" The CMC responded in thinking that they can continue to be stars.

"Um, it’s getting late, um...maybe we'll discuss more tomorrow, and who knows...maybe if we go up and ask the government people to let us use the device to send you home, maybe that could work." Kermit spoke in feeling cautious and concern in knowing they have to think this more through, all this suddenly happening is too much to think calmly.

"Alright, I think maybe tomorrow, we’ll figure out what to do." Twilight sighs in feeling that's the best course of action to take.

With that, everyone departs the area to go into some areas where the new staying guest shall stay while some discuss what to do from here out. Looks like they’ll be staying a bit longer in the Muppet world, and getting home will require some different method to finding the dimensional portal and getting home.

BUT, the author wants this story done ASAP, so there's a third way out!

"Mommy; What's that?!" Nyx asked in shock, pointing at a black wormhole.

The Mane Six, Ben, Chase, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Phobos, Lorcan, Michael and Flare Tiger approached the theater's stage, seeing a black hole-like object, they watched carefully while preparing themselves in attacking the intruder. The screaming Mystic Ponies came out from the hole, jumped right on them hard to the ground. All of them moaned in pain.

"Mr. Tao?" Twilight asked in both surprise and happiness. Mystic Ponies slowly got up from the grounds, looking at their friends. She gasped, jumped and hugged Tao tightly. "You came! Oh my Celestia! You came!"

Tao groaned painfully, "I'm okay... Please... let me go..."

Twilight gasped while giggling sheepishly, "Sorry."

Tao then looked at the princess closely, checking her head and body. He sighed of relief, "Thank goodness, you are safe and sound."

Twilight giggled, "I told you not to worry about me and my friends. We are fine. You have nothing to worry about." Tao whacked her head hard, Twilight yelped, "Ow! What was that?"

"You gave me heart attack! I am not 200 years-old! Do you want dead Mystic Pony?!" Tao asked angrily. Twilight shook her head. Tao shouted: "Then, stop doing that!"

Twilight nodded her head, "Yes sir..."

Beep!

Jade gasp, turning to her tech-watch for another email; The filly checks them and sending out answers very quickly. Nyx awed as she's looking at Jade's Tech-Watch.

"Wow... Jade," commented Nyx, "That's cool and awesome! Wow, you guys are awesome!"

Jade smirked, "Trust me; you're gonna like what Mystic Ponies got."

"Can't wait," Nyx said happily.

"Wait, you Jade?" Miss Piggy demands as she recognizes the name. Suddenly some of the others grab her. "Let me go, let me go!"

"Piggy, calm down. She didn't mean to offend you!" Nyx exclaims to Miss Piggy.

"Right, we're here to take our friends home." Jade said nervously. "Please don't hurt me!"

"Piggy, calm down, calm down, calm down." Kermit said to the pig nervously.

Miss Piggy frowns, then she sighs, "All right, fine, you're forgiven...this time, Miss Adventure."

"Well, anyway, we just got a show done." Ben said to Tao with a chuckle. "So we're ready to go home. No harm, no foul."

"Right, right, here's a tape of our recent show, it was live." Scooter said as he gave a tape to Tao.

"Very well, since princess and her friends are safe, I shall forgo the Mystic Temper...one time." Tao said sternly. He then raises a hoof up, speaking sternly. "BUT make sure you call first before abducting anyone to be in show! Do you know how worried ponies are that their princess is missing?!"

Kermit gulps a bit as did some of the Muppets. Twilight chuckle, "Don't worry about Tao. He is just glad that we're safe, it isn't your fault."

"Right, well, thanks for being on the show...at least you won't worry about waiting a few weeks for that permit, right?" Kermit asked the Mane Six's group meekly.

"Better than nothing," Applejack remarks with a chuckle.

"Well, time we get going, this black hole portal can get us back home in no time!" Rainbow exclaims with a laugh.

The gang said their final goodbyes as the folks from Equestria head back home. Once the last of them was gone, the black hole disappears.

Rizzo pauses then asked, "Did we do something sappy?"

"Nope, this is sap!" Fozzie laughs, holding a jar full of tree sap. "Wocka wocka!"

The Mane Six, Ben, the CMC, the Mystic Ponies and the ones who went to Earth arrives back home at last. It was a weird experience but some of them have fun, even Chase did a little.

Lorcan and Michael quickly begin to sneak out. Twilight, noticing, asking, "Say, where are you going?"

"Out of here, going home," Lorcan said in his disguised voice.

"Wait! I got some questions to ask you, like who are you? Why did you saved us from the Superior?"

"Look, there is stuff that you aren't meant to know...the time will come for you to figure that out. Until then, let's get out of here."

Lorcan and Michael rush out of the home, making Twilight concerned and suspicious. Who is that disguised figure and why is Michael Trotter with him? Such mysteries...

Spike heads into the kitchen to get some treats while the ones on the Muppet Show have a talk with the Mystic Ponies.

Dragon Kick whistles a bit, "I'm almost jealous that you get to perform on a variety show. We should've arrived earlier."

"And perform like a lunatic?" Tao ask with a scoff of annoyance.

"You played well with your flute." Nyx points out cutely to Tao, making him think.

"Fine, you got a point there, Nyx."

Spike brought out some treats, saying, "Luckily I made some more before this madness started. Dig in!" He heads back in to get something else.

“Well, I for one feel like I may have become a bit more better in some art of self-defense,” Rarity spoke humbly in feeling she’s much better from learning something from such an experience.

“Really now; Then tell us Rarity…” Chase spoke in liking to test such a theory as he pretended to come behind the mare, held her neck area, but gently to look like a bad guy about to hurt her. “If an enemy or some foolish jerk tried to take advantage of you, like this, what would you do instead of relying on magic?” Chase asked in what the little miss fashion stylist mare of being one of being fancy would do in such a situation while the others watch in pondering.

“Oh why Chase, that’s a silly question, what I do, is….THIS!” Rarity spoke off in almost laughing at this before she did…something surprising, “HIIIIYAAAAHHH!” Then she grab Chase’s front hoof and then used all of her might to….give him a karate throw.

“Uuuagh….” Chase yelped out from being thrown straight into the Sparkle kitchen and… “Claspfruvhmmm…/Breakrisvhmm…” There was a sudden noise as the gang looked in to see Chase crashed against some leftover kitchen ware of what was gonna be some meals Spike was getting ready along with a cake and it was all over Chase.

“Aw man, now all that hard work is all over Chase.” Spike groans in seeing what he was making, the meal’s on Chase.

“Oops! Sorry about that Chase darling, I must have overdone it much in thinking you were ‘too much’ like a bad pony.” Rarity spoke to apologize for the action, for a moment, it felt like Chase was performing almost TOO well of a villain to harm her, but it seem both were surprised by her little self-defense.

“Uuuuagh; it’s fine….I’m already gotten use to such silly gigs from where I’ve visited.” Chase groans to get himself off the ground to wipe a bit of the mess over him off, though some were sticking to him. “But I think I’ve experienced enough that I’ll just head home to mediate.” He issued this out that from going through what Chase went through, he needs to just get back to serious matters.

With that, Chase heads out the door after seeing that those that went missing & the mystery behind it were solved. Course Twilight seem to show her suspicions about Chase, especially when one of the Muppets told her about the guy going through Bunsen’s washer & dryer machine, and came out of the costume; but strangely…the costume of Shadow Dragon was gone? Bunsen told her that maybe it shrunk in the wash, such comical means isn’t out of the box, but still….that almost seems ’too’ much of a coincidence to sound like a cover up; but the mare will have to hold off on that thought.

“Wow, usually, Chase is usually capable of not getting taken by that action. And to suddenly be caught by surprise, just seem…unexpected,” Ben replied off from what they saw happen to Chase, seems almost strange to many of them?

“Aw, he’ll get over it!” Rainbow Dash waved off in thinking that Chase is a big boy, being beaten by a mare, even if the last mare to do that even Chase never saw coming was Rarity, he won’t let it bug him….will it though?

“Right, let’s check to see if anything happened while we were away.” Twilight nods to say while suggesting what they can do here.

Soon the gang was heading out of the library to do a little checkup of Ponyville after being away in the Muppet Dimension, making sure nothing happened while the heroes were away.

Lorcan and Michael uses teleportation to arrive back at the Royal Palace. Luckily, no one seems to notice that they're gone so their disappearance is safe. The two ponders whatever or not that the princesses noted the girls' absence.

"Michael." Lorcan said, speaking to his good friend.

"Yeah," Michael ask Lorcan puzzled.

"You'll always be number one to me, you know."

"You really think that?"

Lorcan chuckles as he explains, "Yeah... You trained royal guards who would risk their lives out there and all I ever done was trying to invade this place. if anyone's number one, Michael, it's you."

"Thanks, Lorcan, you're a pal." Michael said with a smile as he prepares to hug Lorcan but the scarred Dragon stops him.

"No hugging, got it; Trying to stay in character here."

Chase returned to his temporary home in Ponyville, and soon his messy self saw Tech sitting in a comfy chair, eating popcorn & drinking some soda pop drink as he was watching his invention show him…the events that took place of the latest Muppet show event starring them.

“Gwahahahahah; Oh man, those Muppets are a laugh riot! And that Shadow Dragon character they had was a riot! Like that would ever happen to the real….” While Tech was laughing at seeing this humor, he heard noises of the door shutting, turn to see…Chase’s return. “Oh hey Chase, you’ll never guess what I saw….um, why do you look like a mess?” Tech saw Chase, but the guy looked like he got out of a kitchen fight, not knowing what happened.

“Oh really; I thought for certain that you saw my last scene of Rarity tossing me across to crash into a kitchen and get all messy from a cake.” Chase responded in stating this dry remark fact that Tech never saw the last unseen scene of his latest event of what funny gig that he went through by Rarity learning karate info from a Miss Piggy.

“Hahahah, good one; I could almost imagine that if that really happened. Rarity, beating YOU! That be about the funniest thing to see!” Tech laughed off in thinking that was a rhetorical joke, like Shadow Dragon, the strongest Ultimate Dark Mystic Warrior that wields the Element of Darkness….got handed by one mare that wasn’t powerful, and it being Rarity out of all ponies, it be as funny if it was by whimsy mares like Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie.

“Oh it did Tech, and since you like entertainment that’s funny.” As Chase spoke, he was transforming into his Shadow Dragon form. “Let’s see how funny it is when you become my practice dummy.” Shadow Dragon spoke from approaching Tech in speaking with a threatening tone.

“Wait, don’t practice dummies take a beating?” Tech asked this question in being lost by what the guy was asking of him.

“And who better than you? Dummy…” Shadow Dragon made a evil smirk across his face as he has plans for the mama’s colt here.

“Uh-oh; Waaaaahhhhhh,” Tech yelped with worry before he screamed like a little filly in what was about to happen when Shadow Dragon grab him by his chest to pull him off the chair.

Soon the scene zooms outside Chase’s room while we hear some beating & wimpy cry noises. Yep, looks like things here are gonna be one of those funny beat up scenes while we can’t see them, oh well… And with that, the scene goes dark while we keep hearing punches, beatings, kickings, fire breaths and more whimsy screams, it’s so funny it hurts….for Tech that is.

Epilogue

The scene opens up towards where we find two ponies making it into Canterlot Gardens as one of the lovely & peaceful sights in the area itself. Right now, we see Jack Zen leading someone in a cloak with a hood over her while a red scarf is seen blown from it being around her neck as it was Autumn Gem.

“Please, sit and wait here for a moment.” Jack Zen instructed the mare who slowly nodded her head without asking any questions.

After saying that, Jack Zen leaves the mare to sit in the spot that he chose while the guy got to his friends; Pinkamena, Golden Heart, and also became familiar with Golden Wing & Omega that hid behind an alley. They all watch the mare in the cloak with the hood and red scarf stay still, as her mind was distracted by…other matters.

“I wonder, is it true….has Sombra….return to being his normal self?” Autumn Gem spoke to question herself of some doubt in her mind. “I worry if what I find is not true, oh, I don’t want to feel like he’s still lost.” She felt second thoughts, what if Sombra was still the evil King Sombra that made her and the Crystal Ponies slaves, what to do?

“Hi there,” A mare voice interrupts the mare to soon meet a pink lookalike of Pinkie Pie.

“Hugh?” Gem yelps in looking scared since Pinkamena has…a scary & freaky face, almost like…King Sombra when he turn evil.

“It’s okay, I’m Goldie’s sister, you don’t have to be afraid.” Pinkamena spoke in assuring that she is a nice pony and not evil or anything of the sorts.

Hearing that made Autumn Gem calm down a bit, as she saw the pink pony’s kind smiling face; Soon in a few moments, Pinkamena spend much time chatting with Autumn Gem and telling her about her pals; her bro Golden Heart, and about Jack Zen from what the brother told the pink pony, Golden Wing the pet phoenix and Omega the robot she built, and even about Havis to mention his full name, but tells Autumn to call him Havis when they meet. The mares were seen almost enjoying one’s company for a bit, and then…

“Oh, that reminds me, there’s one more new friend to meet.” Pinkamena spoke in recalling that there’s one more friend for this new mare to meet.

“Who,” Autumn Gem questioned in hearing this, who was the last friend she has yet to hear about?

Then coming out from the shadows nearby, the mares soon see a strange pony in a cloak coming out. Once the new pony stops, he moves his hoof near his hood, and slowly lets it drop behind him. And from there, it was only Autumn Gem who gasped in surprise, as she saw who the new friend the unfazed Pinkamena referred to was; it was….Sombra.

“Huuuugh, Sombra.” Autumn Gem gasped to say the name of her old love, and from looking at his eyes, the evil that was of the other was not in; no crystal horn, now background emerald eyes, no fangs, this time it was…the real Sombra from whom rule the Crystal Empire.

"Autumn Gem? You’re here?” Sombra responded in being just as surprised as she was to see each other after such a long time. “But I was told there was some pony the others said they wanted me to meet.” He was told about meeting someone different by those he’s been with, so what is this?

“And boy, you have.” Pinkamena slyly responded as she and the others tricked Sombra to not knowing he was meeting up with an old love, that way, he wouldn’t try to get out of it; no use him trying to get out of this now.

Then Autumn Gem gets up, removes her hood to slowly walk up to Sombra as he stared at her like a deer in the headlights.

“Is it….really you? The you I knew long ago?” Autumn Gem asked in almost finding this hard to believe, if this was a dream or not.

“That scarf…” Sombra spoke in seeing what the mare wore that earn his attention. “You still had the red scarf I gave, after all these years.” Autumn Gem looked to her scarf while back at Sombra, as he spoke more. “I never forgot you, no matter how much my evil side controlled me and take over the empire….I still thought about you, even if buried deep in my subconsciousness. I put you & my subjects through so pain….it’s unforgivable.” The once good king explained himself, for both his heart and of what sin he has committed when being under evil control.

Autumn Gem shakes lightly from hearing this last part of the blame as she opened her mouth with tears flowing, as if the moment here touched her. The stallion before her was the true Sombra she knew and loved, but as she tried to say something, nothing came out of her mouth, her tears kept leaking nonstop, as if this moment had moved her heart. Then unable to control herself anymore from not knowing what to say, she instead runs to Sombra which the guy yelps in readying for being tackled down by his old love. Only for instead, for Autumn Gem to hug him so tightly while she was crying her tears that she form a smile; she cried tears of joy.

“I…can’t believe it….you’re truly here. Sniff….I thought I lost you for good that day.” Autumn Gem spoke from between her tears and sniffing her runny nose. “But you’re here now, I’ve missed you for so many years, I wished you return to your old self…and you have…you have. Sniff….sniff…” She began to let loose more of her inner emotions from being unable to bear their anymore to let them out.

Sombra heard the mare weeping for him, and tears began to come out from him as he soon returns the hug back to Autumn as he enjoyed this warm embrace.

“I too…have missed you as well, my love.” Sombra softly spoke in having misses his old love from so long.

Soon Pinkamena and Goldie’s company that were there came out a bit from their hiding spot in the alley to watch this tender happy moment. It’s like a tale of two ponies that were in love, are brought back together after so many years of being apart for so many years. It’s like a blessing has return to give these two a second chance.

“Unit Sombra, seems to be in a pleasant mood.” Omega stated from observing the manner of what was displayed.

“Oh course, he’s with his love one once more.” Havis nods in seeing what happiness is taking place here.

“Thanks for accepting to help us out here Jack Zen.” Goldie turn to thank the pony here for helping them out in this task.

“My pleasure Golden Heart, it’s nice to see a former foe be given this happiness in one’s life.” Jack Zen nods to say this in his own manner of speaking.

“Ahhhh, it’s a tale of beauty one never gets tired of,” Pinkamena ‘awes’ with a smile in just loving this happy moment.

With this, the scene begins to show the setting sun over the two lovers’ time had nearly forgotten, of one that was an evil king to one that was an enslaved lover, now back to having a happy moment again. And with that, everything goes dark to end this perfectly happy reunion of two hearts.

Author's Note

What a crossover, eh folks? I hope you all enjoy this as I did making it; Very awesome. And now, as we go right into the season finale, I got a story to keep you all waiting before and after it's shown and to reference a certain pony whose videos has been taken down.

"Enough of The Drama Queen: Rarity's friends are getting a bit annoyed by her being a drama queen at times so to help her shape up, they brought her along on a field trip for the RDTAU to the land of Dirt to look for Button Mash, a friend of Sweetie's who has gone missing."

That's right, Button Mash is about to appear so can't wait to get to work. Until next time, read, review and suggest.

The finale number has songs from both 'Equestria Girls' and the Season 3 finale which of course I did in the Season 1 finale of House of Pony.

Chapter 5: Feud between Muppets

In Muppets Lab, Bunsen is there as Beaker is testing out a familiar device. He spoke, "Oh, hello, folks. Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is being made today. I am Doctor Bunsen Honeydew here with my assistant Beaker."

"Meep meep meep," Beaker said, giving a salute to Honeydew.

"Yes, we are so excited to show you my latest invention which shows how the Mane Six from Equestria came here. Here to help is the leader of the Mane Six, Twilight Sparkle!"

The audience applauds as Twilight, in a lab coat and glasses came in with a smile. She spoke, "Thanks, Dr. Honeydew. Now then, my friends and I were sitting at the library, minding our own business when we got pulled in here by pure vacuum suckage. Well, today, we decided to pull something from Equestria without it."

"Beaker," Bunsen asks as Beaker holds up a device with has a stretching arm. "With this next device, we will pull in any item from Equestria with no problem. Let the testing begin!"

Bunsen pulls the lever on the device causing a black hole to appear. Beaker push the button on the arm device and it stretches into the black hole.

Now in the home of Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops, Lyra is heard calling from another room, "Sweetie Drops? Have you seen my hat?"

"Yeah, it should be..." Sweetie Drops begins to say. Just then a black hole appears with the arm grabbing a hat before pulling it away from sight. The black hole disappears as Sweetie Drops turns, looking confused. "...right here?"

Back at Muppet Labs, Beaker pulls in a familiar hat with the arm. Twilight chuckles, "Looks like somepony's missing a hat. Okay, next test."

Bunsen makes another black hole appears as Beaker uses his stretching arm to push it into the black hole.

In a room, Lorcan, in disguise was watching with Michael Trotter, the disguised Dragon say, "I still say I ain't going to reveal myself until Twilight loses her attitude for me."

"Well, Luna insists otherwise..." Michael Trotter was interrupted when a black hole appears, a familiar arm grabs him, "What the buck?!"

Lorcan yelps and grabs the Royal Guard as the two are pulled into the black hole, finding themselves in Muppet Labs. The audience laughs as Bunsen, noting this, comments, "Looks like we got some visitors."

"Hey, do I know you?" Twilight ask the disguised Lorcan suspiciously.

"No...and on a bigger note, RUN!" Lorcan, in a disguised voice, yelps as he runs off with the audience laughing.

"What the b..." Michaelr begins to say but Twilight interrupts him quickly.

"No, not on a family show! Just go!" Twilight insists as she pushes the Royal Guard off the stage. "How about 1 more test before we bring things to a close?"

"Right, go ahead, Beakie!" Bunsen insists as he made one final black hole appears.

Beaker meep as he prepare the stretching arm device and pushes the arm in to grab something; The Muppets pulls it out...then screams in alarm as a tentacle came out of the black hole, grabbing Beaker and trying to strangle him.

"Beaker, put that back! You don't know where it's been!" Bunsen scolds Beaker. The Muppets laugh as the assistant tries frantically to fight off the tentacle.

"Well, that's all for Muppet Labs. See you next time, though not from me." Twilight said sheepishly as she quickly helps in saving Beaker from the mad tentacle.

"Okay, this is seriously messed up!" Michael complains as he and Lorcan came back stage. "Where are we?!"

"I don't know...and I don't think we will get back to Equestria anytime soon." Lorcan said seriously to Trotter. At least as long as his cloak and hood are on, no one would recognize him, right?

"Well, I say b..."

"No language, no language!" Kermit insists in concern, pushing Michael and Lorcan along quickly. "This is a family show, no language."

Michael groans as he and Lorcan heads off. Scooter returns to Kermit, sighing, "Oh, it's no use, chief. Walter and Rizzo won't come out of their dressing rooms. They are still mad at each other."

Kermit looks concerned. He doesn't want any fighting to occur along his cast and friends, so how will there be a way for Walter and Rizzo to amend their differences?

"Well there must be a way to help those two get along." Kermit spoke off in thought.

"Hey, I got an idea! Let’s have them both be in charge to pull the right stage switch for our next scene." Gonzo spoke in having an idea that could help out.

"What next scene?" Kermit asked in not following this.

"Well I talk it over with Rarity & Spike, and they wanna star in a ranch scene with me, in living out how the Spain folk care for their bulls." Gonzo pointed out a plan in where he and those staring with him, go on stage for a new scene.

"Um gee, isn't that almost like the scene about the running of the bulls?" Kermit spoke in having a bad feeling this act might be too much like what Gonzo asked in the past.

"Nah, that's the beauty, I bring the bulls in, NOT wearing red, then Rarity & Spike come out wearing red, the CMC will wear bull disguises to give a chase to us. We tell Walter & Rizzo to watch the switch so we get the right bulls, it'll be fine, what can go wrong?" Gonzo explained his randomly weird plan in how they can help their pals out.

"Um, well, alright, Scooter, get the stage set please." Kermit slightly shrug off in feeling that plan couldn't be any worse than not doing nothing.

"Already on it chief," Scooter responded in hearing this.

Soon the group went into their places, hopefully this plan to get Rizzo and Walter to get along works...they hope.

Gonzo came up to Rizzo's dressing room and knocks on the door; the rat snaps, "What is it?!"

Gonzo opens the door, grinning as he said, "Good news, Rizzo! We got something for you for the next scene. We want you to watch the switch so we get the right bulls!"

"Why should I? Can't you get Walter to do it?"

"Yeah...Walter can't do it. He's...stuck in the toilet."

"'Stuck in the toilet'?" Rizzo ask Gonzo, arching an eyebrow at this, "You serious?"

"Would I lie?" Gonzo ask Rizzo innocently, making the rat scoffs. "Come on, please, do this and I will give you all the cheese that I kept in my fridge."

"Give me 50 bucks and I will consider both!"

Gonzo smiles a bit. Outside Walter's room, Kermit knocks on the door and opens it, speaking, "Walter! We need you to watch the switch for Gonzo's next sketch."

"Why? I am useless, always am." Walter groans as he sat in his seat in depression. "I will just push the background character out..."

"Come on, you won't be on the scene. And Rizzo is letting you do it!"

"He is?"

"Sure!" Kermit exclaims, thinking of a lie and doing so quickly. "Rizzo felt bad for his behavior that he wants you to do this."

Walter blinks and looks concerned. Rizzo seems to have changed his mind quickly, hadn't he? The newcomer shrugs while saying, "Well, I guess if Rizzo said it's all right."

Kermit nods as he closes the door in relief. So far, so good but the frog wonders what would happen if Walter and Rizzo finds out the truth the hard way.

At the moment, Chase, still in his Shadow Dragon form, moves about to look for a place to transform back into his civilian form when suddenly, a metal hand reached over to grab him by the tail.

"Hugh? What!" Chase yelped before he could do anything, as he was soon pulled too quickly to where he was thrown in....a WASHING MACHINE.

The washing machine was looking a bit scientific as it had metal hands reaching around, grabbing used and taken off costumes, wings, you name it, and shoving it in to be washed and then sent directly by a link tube towards a dryer system. Too bad Shadow Dragon was seen spinning around and around until it look like he was getting dizzy. And soon, Bunsen & Beaker arrive on the scene to check on their invention.

"Well Beaker, the costume wash-o-matic & dryer Mark V, as in roman word for five, is working very profoundly." Bunsen spoke in seeing their device working perfectly, or so it seem.

"Meep-meep, meepmeepmeep." Beaker spoke in pointing at something fishy in the dryer.

"What's that you say, you think someone is inside the dryer." Bunsen asked off puzzled to here this sorta claim at the moment.

"Meep," Beaker responded with a nod in being truthful here.

Soon the two opened the dryer as it dump out a bunch of costumes and then popping out of the pill was Chase, in his normal looking disguise, but seem a bit dizzy.

"Uuuaaghh," Chase groans from holding his head; that was NOT a pleasant experience.

"Why if isn't Chase the Warrior. How did you ever get in there?" Bunsen spoke in finding this a surprise feat, how did Chase get in the wash?

"Believe me, I wish I knew. Burp," Chase responded before he suddenly burped, and let out bubbles, much to his surprise; and to his confusion.

"Meep-meep, meep," Beaker was saying something to which earn some attention.

"Oh that's right, he was wearing that costume from earlier, dreadfully sorry, you must have not taken your outfit off quick enough, our machine registered that you were an unoccupied object." Bunsen responded in following Beaker's words of what happened to Chase and of how this incident occurred.

"You don't say. Well, I'm leaving." Chase rolled his eyes in learning what happened as he got out a bit while feeling a bit dizzy to move away.

"Take care..." Bunsen responded to Chase while Beaker was grabbing hold of the costumes until....

"MEEP-MEEP; MEEEEEEEPPP," Suddenly, Beaker was caught by a metal hand to be put in the washer as it saw him with a costume and thought that he needed to be wash; oh boy.

As Chase was leaving the scene of the goofy scientist, he felt like that encounter was almost too close to his long explanation of things that would lead to too many questions, both for the Muppets & the ponies of the Mane Six party.

"That was too close for comfort; I'll need to think up an excuse for where I put such a convincing costume of myself. Burp...." As Chase spoke this with a serious face, he suddenly let loose more bubbles from a burp; much to his annoyance that thanks to the Muppets, he's gone and gotten a silly issue that's likely a bad case of the hiccups. "Ugh, but first, I need to find out how to get rid of this silly burping bubble gag without using any magic that give me away." He can't use magic as a disguise Earth pony, draw too much attention, he'll have to figure out some other way to get rid of this, for now...it will be a funny thing to be seen until he can most likely get back to Equestria.

With that, Chase leaves the scene while he burps out more bubbles of a silly development, looks like even an undercover foe from a villain's side is gonna be enduring a silly issue while hanging around with the Muppets.

Kermit is seen going out to the crowd to announce the next show.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, time for Gonzo's Spanish Bull Ranch, staring Rarity and Spike! Yeeaaahhhh," Kermit announced off to say while making a cheery sound before leaving the stage.

As the curtain pulls back from a drumroll, we see what looks like a prop of a Spanish ranch where there is a shed with a rotating sign that says what bulls are gonna come out. As it showed between 'Angry Bulls' and 'Playful Bulls' that let them out in a fence gate on the stage before they were hearing a cow-bell that lead them back in. And the audience saw even the CMC; Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Nyx disguised as cute little bulls that were playing around. Now Gonzo was coming in wearing a Spanish outfit of a bull fighter while Spike and Rarity wore RED outfits and accessories.

"Welcome to my ranch, how do you like it?" Gonzo responded off in how his guests like his ranch.

"Yeah, I'd like some ranch...on my salad." Rarity giggles, making the audience laughs a bit.

"Right, what's the name of this place anyway?" Spike asked Gonzo curiously.

"Waht Ranch." Gonzo said to Spike.

"This Ranch; we want you to tell us the name of your ranch." Spike explains to Gonzo again.

"Waht Ranch." Gonzo answers again, much to Spike's annoyance, making the audience laugh.

"This one; How can you not know the name of your own ranch," Spike asked Gonzo in irritation.

"Oh, I know the name of the ranch, I do." Gonzo explains to Spike some more.

"Then mind telling us what the name of your ranch, darling?" Rarity asked Spike gently.

"Waht Ranch." Gonzo said to Rarity, making her confused.

"This one, the ranch right here," Spike exclaims to Gonzo, about to lose it. How could this Whatever not know the ranch when he's clearly standing in it?!

"No, no! That's the name of my ranch, see?" Gonzo explains clearly as he points to a sign nearby which is labeled 'Waht Ranch'. The audience laughs loudly at this.

"Ohhh," Rarity exclaimed in understanding, "Now we get it."

"So tell us your name." Spike said to Gonzo.

"Whu," Gonzo remarks with a grin.

"Your name, tell us your name." Spike said to Gonzo impatiently.

"Whu," Gonzo answers as the audience laughs.

"Look, what is your name?" Spike asked Gonzo getting very annoyed.

"No, that's the name of this ranch." Gonzo corrects Spike, thinking he is referring to the name of the 'Waht Ranch'.

"I know what the ranch's name is! Can you tell me what your name is?!" Spike asked Gonzo, getting more impatient.

"Wrong, Whu is my name." Gonzo corrects Spike, making the Dragon more frustrated.

"How should I know; I don't know!" Spike exclaims to Gonzo angrily.

"Oh, he's my helper hand!" Gonzo remarks to Spike, making the audience laughs.

"Who is your helper hand?" Rarity asked Gonzo curiously.

"No, that isn't his name." Gonzo remarks to Rarity, making the audience laugh some more.

"What isn't his name?" Rarity asked Gonzo confused.

"Precisely; His name is I. Don Know." Gonzo remarked, loving this part.

"Well, who are you?" Spike asked Gonzo, about to lose.

"Correct!" Gonzo remarked, making the audience laughs. "Whu is my name."

"I don't know." Spike said with a sigh.

"Helper hand," The two remarks at the same time, making the audience laughs some more.

"Seriously, my name is 'Whu', said so on my ID card!" Gonzo exclaims showing his ID card which list his name as 'Jon Whu'.

Rarity arches an eyebrow to the audience, commentating, "Suddenly we're on Abbott and Costello." The audience laughs.

"Alright, little ones, back in the little shed you go!" Gonzo spoke to lead the CMC disguise bulls into their shed.

"My word, you certainly have a way with animals." Rarity spoke in flattering the weirdo on his feat.

"Well, actually, I'm better with chickens than bulls!" Gonzo replied while getting a laugh from the audience.

"Say, are we safe? I mean, my mistress wanted these new red outfits to be for the next ball dance, but....to be here near a bull ranch seems...overkill?" Spike asked off a bit concern if they'll be okay here.

"Nah, I set it for the little ones to come play, they barely hurt you. The other bulls come out later to stretch their legs, so we're safe." Gonzo responded off to say about the manner here.

Meanwhile, backstage were Rizzo and Walter as they approach the switch to what's in the middle from right as in Playful Bulls to the left label Angry Bulls. As they both touch the switch, they saw who was here, and that started something.

"And what are you doing here?!" Rizzo snaps to Walter in annoyance. "This is my gig!"

"Your gig," Walter asked Rizzo in disbelief. "Kermit told me that you will let me do this!"

"Ha! Yeah right! I got paid 50 bucks for this and I ain't letting ya!" Rizzo snaps as he pulls the lever to prepare to let the bulls out.

"No way; I ain't going to let your jealous nature ruin everything, Rizzo!" Walter scowls as he grabs the lever, pulling it towards him.

"You aren't pushing me in the background again, you whistle blower!" Rizzo snaps as he pulls the lever back towards him. "Now scram!"

Suddenly without realizing it, Rizzo and Walter's tug-of-war game of letting the Playful Bulls go out and then close the doors again after they were done got out of hand. For soon they pulled the switch too far to the left were they accidentally set it to....the Angry Bulls label sign.

"Uh oh...." Both Muppets responded in what they did, this won't end very well.

Back on stage, the occupied sign it of who else was going, but it was listed on a different bull type.

"Oh, sounds like them bulls be coming again." Gonzo responded to say while not paying attention to the warning sign.

Then what came out weren't the disguise CMC in bull costumes, it was actually a bunch of real bulls.

"Um, aren't those a tad....bit big, for cute...little bulls?" Rarity yelped in seeing the new bulls coming in so suddenly.

"Hugh, you're right. These aren't Playful Bulls, they are Angry Bulls. And while playful bulls like to play, the angry ones are always angry. But what they hate most is the color red." Gonzo spoke in studying the real bulls, knowing what they are and what they hate most that one should not wear.

"Gulp....but....we're red!" Spike swallowed hard in looking at him and Rarity, they ARE in RED.

Suddenly, the bulls started to make wild noises in staring at the two creatures wearing red while they hid behind Gonzo in fear.

"Oh boy," Gonzo spoke this out before he and the rest were...stampeded, "YEEOOAAAAAHHHHH!" Gonzo was soon seen launched off across the rampaging bulls while Rarity and Spike also yelped and scream in being a part of the act. And all while the audience clapped and laugh at this funny scene while unaware that this wasn't part of the show.

Meanwhile, with Waldorf and Statler, they have this much to say.

"I don't believe my eyes in what they had showing here!" Statler spoke off from seeing this.

"What don't you believe?" Waldorf asked off in what his heckler wanted to say.

"They’ve gone bad to being worse off from their last movie!" Statler issued off on how bad this act was.

"Well the reviews were good, cause lots of folks like it bad." Waldorf remorsefully pointed out how folks enjoy seeing bad things.

"Well even if some get a kick out of watching horrible shows, you have to be bull-headed to like this." Statler was issuing this fact over how folks enjoy such bad acts as entertainment.

"Well if those were bulldozers, they weren't dozing off from that act. You might say, they got up and mow off the wrong side of the morning." Waldorf responded off to say this as another joke.

Then both the hecklers were laughing it up from their funny work.

"But seriously, was that even a part of the act to begin with?" Statler issued off to say about this action.

"I don't know, it was so bad, I forgot to pay attention to it." Waldorf responded in issuing this fact of what he did.

And again, both hecklers were laughing it up again; they get a kick out of this.

Backstage, Applejack and Apple Bloom quickly works on lassoing the angry bulls. The cowpony exclaims, "Yeehaw; Yeehaw; Git along, lil' doggies!"

"Come along!" Apple Bloom exclaims, helping her sister.

"Okay, what were you two thinking?" Kermit asked Walter and Rizzo with an annoyed sigh.

"Hey, you lied to me to get to work with Walt-jerk here!" Rizzo protests angrily to Kermit. "So it's naturally your fault."

"Well, this wouldn't happen if you hadn't messed with the switch." Walter said to Rizzo with a frown.

"No time to play the blame game." Kermit said in concern to the two. "Camilla told me that Gonzo got injured during this madness. He won't be able to do his act with Rainbow."

"What," Rainbow asked in shock as she came over. "But I wanted so much to do the Indoor Sonic Rainboom with someone!"

"Sorry, but I'll have to cancel it." Kermit said with a sigh, shaking his head.

Rainbow looks down in disappointment. By this time, Walter and Rizzo felt guilty. Their pointless bickering had injured Gonzo and put his act with Rainbow in jeopardy.

"Hey, Rizzo, listen. Rainbow needs someone to participate with her...so how about we end this silly argument and help her out?" Walter asked Rizzo in concern.

"I was feeling the same thing, Walter. Let's do it." Rizzo said.

"Hey, Rainbow; since we're the reason Gonzo got hurt, Rizzo and I will fill in for him." Walter said to Rainbow in confidence.

"Wait, both of us?" Rizzo asked Walter in surprise.

"We owe it to Gonzo, right?" Walter asked with a nod, "So how about it, Miss Dash?"

"Yeah, cool, okay!" Rainbow exclaims with a smile.

"I will go introduce you." Kermit said as he heads back to introduce the next act.

"Hope you guys can hang on because I am fast and dangerous!" Rainbow laughs as she throw ssome punches into the air in determination.

Back onstage, Kermit spoke, "Okay, folks, normally we were planning on Gonzo performing a daredevil stunt but due to his injuries in the previous act, filling in for the Whatever are Walter and Rizzo, teaming up with guest-star Rainbow Dash for an act. Here they are!"

The audience cheers as the curtains lifts up. Rainbow is wearing a pair of goggles while Walter and Rizzo are strapping themselves in, wearing daredevil clothes and protective gear.

"Hey, everyone; the stunt that we're going to do on Gonzo's behalf is the Indoor Sonic Rainboom!" Walter exclaims to the crowd in determination.

"Right, give us some silence because we're about to blow you all away!" Rainbow exclaims with a laugh.

Everyone hangs on as Walter and Rizzo held onto Rainbow who flies up into the air, flying around very fast.

"Wow, she's good." Flare Tiger said in amazement at Rainbow flying in the air from backstage.

"Is there any doubt?" Scootaloo asked with a chuckle. "Not impersonating Trixie of course."

"When do we get to the big part?" Phobos asked curiously.

"Okay, hang on, boys!" Rainbow laughs eagerly as she begins to fly upward into the air and right through a hole in the roof.

Walter laughs madly as Rizzo screams, "Now I remember why I hate this!"

Rainbow stops high above the theater. Rizzo shivers as the Pegasus pony smirks, saying, "Now REALLY hang on; ha ha ha!"

Rainbow speeds down very fast to the theater, going right to the Sonic Rainboom stage.

"HIT THE DECK!" Ben screams out, sensing what is about to happen.

"Oh boy," Nyx exclaimed as she and the CMC ducked and covered.

Everyone quickly ducks and covers as Rainbow almost hits the stage...and soon a Sonic Rainboom appears, flashing the usual effects, making a rainbow while a Sonic Boom is heard.

The audience yelps as they almost got blown away, even Statler and Waldorf does their best to avoid being blown out of their balcony box.

When all is clear, the stage is a wreck. The theater is still standing. Rainbow, Walter and Rizzo lands on the stage, the Pegasus pony smirks,

The audience looks dazed...then they cheer and applaud loudly. These people love it!

"Wow, what do you know? Am I awesome or what?" Rainbow laughs eagerly.

"Oh yeah, Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo cheers as her idol, Walter and Rizzo came into the backstage. "You were awesome!"

"Yeah, wasn't I?" Rainbow asked with a smile. "Now that's a Sonic Rainboom! Sorry about the damage."

"Awww, with some magic and some repairs, it will be good as new." Kermit remarks with a shrug.

"Hey, Rizzo, you were great!" Walter exclaims to Rizzo with a smile.

"Was I? Yeah," Rizzo exclaims with a laugh. "You were better, though."

"Nah, you were even better!" Walter remarks with a laugh.

"Ha ha ha; you two were both great!" Gonzo exclaims as he came over and hug his pals...who are shocked to see him not injured after all.

"Wait, hang on! Weren't you injured or was that my imagination?" Rizzo asked in confusion and disbelief. Even Walter is shocked by this.

"Oh, that. Well, Kermit and I decided to fake my injuries after the previous act just to get you two to work together." Gonzo explains to Walter and Rizzo with a smile.

"Yeah, sorry about the deceit but it's the only way you two can finally end your pointless arguing." Kermit admits, apologizing for the deceit. It's the only way for Walter and Rizzo to finally get along.

"Well, it worked, cause Walter and I are buddies now!" Rizzo said with a grin.

"Yeah, everything turns out well in the end." Fluttershy said with a giggle.

"Wanna bet?" Spike asked with a laugh as he points to his tail which got a piece of scenery stuck to it.

Flare Tiger chuckled as she walked to her laptop and check it out. The filly found out that Jade Adventure sent another e-mail to her. Flare Tiger smile and click on it. She's reading then gasped in fear when she heard shouts from a dressing room.

Miss Piggy yelled, "Who said Pork Chops!?!"

Flare Tiger gulped, "Aw, Horseapple..."

Miss Piggy walked into the room with anger until she saw Flare Tiger staring at Miss Piggy in fear; however, the pig saw Flare Tiger's laptop. Miss Piggy knew something that's Flare Tiger's trying to hide. The pig rushed up to Flare Tiger's laptop and pushes her out of the way. Miss Piggy read the e-mail from Jade Adventure in anger.

Miss Piggy yelled, "I will find you Jade Adventure; You, Flare Tiger!"

Flare Tiger meekly answer, "Yes, Miss?"

Miss Piggy smiled as she spoke, "Thank you."

Flare Tiger gulped, "Ya' welcome?"

Miss Piggy storm away as Flare Tiger knew it, she had to find Kermit. Flare Tiger gallop toward the other room.

The audience applauds as the next act shows a country like area. Fluttershy appears, smiling as she begins to sing to the animals there.

Fluttershy: There's music in the treetops
And there's music in the vale
And all around the music fills the sky
There's music by the river
And there's music in the grass
And the music makes your heart soar in reply

Fluttershy begins to vocalize as she begins feeding the animals like a bear then birds. The Pegasus pony happily dances around with the animals following her. She then flies around and soars into the sky happily.

"Wow." Twilight said impressed as she and her friends watch Fluttershy perform. "She is really doing well."

"Yeah, she start this show up with a bang!" Spike remarks with a laugh.

"Did someone say BANG?!" Crazy Harry laughs madly as he appears with a familiar plunger on a detonator.

"NO!" Everyone screams in terror but it's too late. The Muppet pulls down the plunger and causes explosion to occur all over the stage, laughing like a maniac.

The explosions causes the animals and flee, making Fluttershy yelps as she flew off in fear. The audience laughs as they applaud despite the act not ending the way it should be.

"Honestly Harry!" Kermit groans a bit as Fluttershy flew back into the backstage and hide in some clothes piled up nearby. "Someone get Fluttershy out of there."

"It's okay, Fluttershy. You did good really." Rarity insists, trying to get the scared Fluttershy out of hiding.

"Sorry. Explosions startled me." Fluttershy whimpers as she peeks out of the clothes.

Soon after the sketch, Flare Tiger managed to find Kermit and the groups from Equestria. She rushed over to them and panted which gotten their pay attraction. Kermit was worried due to the fact that he saw something bothering Flare Tiger.

Kermit asked, "Flare Tiger, what's wrong?"

Flare Tiger sighed, "It's Miss Piggy! She's sense someone saying the P. C. words!"

Phobos asked, "You meant 'Pork Chops'? There is nothing wrong with it until that pork chop's crazy like nag."

Unknown yelled, "Hi-Yah!"

They saw Miss Piggy screaming in fury as she kicks Phobos out of the room with a scream in fear. Miss Piggy storms away with a huff puff in anger. They're shocked at what scene that they saw as the gang looked at Flare Tiger.

Flare Tiger groaned, "That's why! We need to keep Miss Piggy down as the Mystic Ponies are coming!"

Twilight yipped, "Who?!?"

Flare Tiger answers, "Tao, his family, Lightning Wisdom and Techtail."

Nyx asked, "Why do we need to keep Miss Piggy from them?"

Flare Tiger explained, "Because she'll most likely target Jade Adventure."

Apple Bloom gasp, "'Dis isn't good! Wait, why her?"

Soon, they realized it, Miss Piggy's sense was given off as they're putting piece to piece together. They're decided to think together, until Sweetie Belle gasped with an idea.

Sweetie Belle asked, "What's if, due to the Mystic Ponies' coming, Miss Piggy would be hold down as we could explain. The Mystic Ponies need to Pinkie Promise to not use the words, 'Pork' around here, there will nothing to worry about!"

They stared at her and agreed with mumbles.

"Until then, we need something in the next act." Kermit mumbles a bit. He glances at Michael and the hidden Lorcan. "You two, go out there and perform!"

"Forget that, I don't perform!" Michael snaps sternly but yelps as Ben zaps him in the flank.

"Get out there, we need some time to prepare, go on!" Ben snaps as Michael heads back stage. Lorcan glares. "What? Do I know you?"

"No." Lorcan mumbles as he goes out on stage with Michael, seeing the audience.

"Look, the Muppets are so ashamed of themselves, they're wearing a cloak and hood now!" Waldorf jokes as Statler laughs.

"Big audience tonight; we need some act."

"Right, I will start first." Michael remarks with a chuckle. "I am the number one of this group and..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Michael, Michael," Lorcan said sternly to Michael while frowning behind his foot. "You forgot one thing: I'm number one and you're number two."

"Oh come on, don't start this again!"

As piano music is heard, Lorcan begins to sing.

Lorcan: I’m number one
you’re number two
We’re stooges at large
but I’m at larger than you
I’m number one
you’re number two
I believe in equality
as long as you get less than me

I’m one

Michael: (bitterly) You’re one.

Lorcan: You’re number two.

Michael: I’m number two.

Lorcan: You may think that you’re smarter
but I’m smarter-er than you
I’m number one
you’re number two
You’re lucky to be
number two not number three

I can see by the look in your eye
you want to get a bigger piece of the pie
One day you’ll get your chance
but in the meantime, You got to dance pony dance

"Really? I hate dancing." Michael asks Lorcan with a frown.

"Do it! Dance Pony Dance," Lorcan snaps as he forces Michael to dance, making the Royal Guard uncomfortable as he does so. "HAHA"

Michael: I’m number two
He’s number one
I can’t believe I’m working for
a hidden figure
I’m number two
He’s number one

Lorcan: I’M NUMBER ONE!!!

Michael: You know life gone down with the wagon
when your pal is a hidden Drag...come on!

I can see it’s just a matter of time
before he’s gone and I’m at the front of the line
It won’t be long until I get my chance
But in the meantime, I’ve got to dance pony dance.

"Dance pony dance," Lorcan taunts as he begins to sing, making the audience laughs. "Now watch me."

Lorcan dances a bit, forcing Michael to do his best to do better, but it appears that the hidden Dragon is doing better. Once Lorcan's done, the two sing and dance together.

Lorcan & Michael: I’m number one
(He’s number one)
You’re number two
(I’m number two!)
I’ll bet you kid there you go
now step aside this ain’t your show
I’m one
(You’re one)
I’m number one
(Yes, we know)
I’m…
(He’s…)
Number one!

"That’s how it’s done." Lorcan exclaims as he finish the dancing number. Michael roll his eyes especially when the audience applauds for them both. He hates being number two to this Dragon.

"Doesn't that song sound familiar to you?" Waldorf ask Statler curiously.

"Who knows? All of these songs sound the same." Statler comments to Waldorf with a shrug.

"How so?"

"They're all bad!'

The audience laughs as the hecklers heckle as usual.

Author's Note

Wow, nice song sequences, eh? Next up, the Mystic Ponies appear, along with the final song number which is from the final episode 'House of Pony Season 1'. Read, review and suggest.

The bit that Gonzo, Rarity and Spike did before the bulls got loose is a tribute to Abbott and Costello. The running of the Bulls part is from the Muppets' previous film.

The song sang by Lorcan and Michael is from 'The Muppets Most Wanted' as well.
