Twilight Attempts To Write A Musical
Pre-Writing Stage
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was a beautiful day in Ponyvile. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming and everypony stepped out to great each other. Among those ponies, was Twilight Sparkle, the resident allicorn princess and bookworm. Seeing this, all the ponies made way for the princess and scrambled into a line. To Twilight's surprise, they began to sing.
"Twilight Sparkle walked down the lane. Twilight Sparkle walked." The ponies sang as Twilight stared in bewilderment. Twilight walked over to the local hay burger stand. Out popped a light green mare, who ran the stand.
"Twilight Sparkle ain't very fat. Twilight Sparkle ain't!" The mare said as she avoided Twilight's glare.
"Twilight Sparkle is very pretty. Twilight Sparkle is..." Sang a light blue mare in a black cloak softly.
"Twilight Sparkle is our princess!" The citizens sang in unison as Twilight slowly backed away into her castle. "And whatever is good, she does!"
Twilight then proceeded to slam the door, nervously. She sighed with relief as she lay on the door. The next thing she knew, Pinkie Pie, her eccentric friend, was standing above her. Twilight yelped as the pink pony opened up her mouth to sing.
"Twilight Sparkle has a best friend! Twilight Sparkle does!" Pinkie sang.
"Pinkie did you...WAH!" Twilight screamed as Pinkie picked her up and swang her around like a rag doll.
"Twilight Sparkle has fun with Pinkie! Twilight Sparkle does!"
"Pinkie! You're beginning to sound like Tri-"
"Twilight Sparkle was very smart!" Pinkie sang as she patted Twilight's horn twice, much to Twilight's displeasure.. "Twilight Sparkle was!"
"Pinkie, what's going..."
"Twilight Sparkle is a princess! And whatever is good, she does!"
"Pinkie, you know how I don't like to be called a pr-"
"We are all the elements! We do heroic things! That's what it's all about! We have some fun adventures and some action, for sure! And when there's a problem we go out!"
"Yeah sure, but what does th-"
"Now we all are happy! And everyone in Equestria is too! 'Cause Twilight Sparkle is a princess! And whatever is good, we do!" Pinkie sang as she ended her song. She bowed with her only applause being a blank stare from Twilight. "Nice song, huh!? I thought of it today and shared it with everypony! I wanted to show it to you and I got everypony to sing along!" Pinkie said proudly.
"It certainly is catchy." Twilight admitted.
"Yuh-huh! Well, I better get back to Sugarcube Corner! We're opening pretty soon and I don't wanna be late. See ya later, Twi!" Pinkie said as she raced out the door.
"Bye, Pinkie!" Twilight said as Pinkie closed the door. "Well that was weird, but then again, it is Pinkie Pie." Twilight chuckled. "Still, Ponyvile has been singing a lot more than usual. And that's coming from me!"
"Twilight, are you talking to yourself again?" Spike said as he sleepily walked downstairs.
"Spike!?" Twilight said as she turned her head to the baby dragon. "I didn't know you were awake."
"I'm not." Spike groaned. "So, what's been bugging you, Twi?"
"Remember that time on the day we went to the Crystal Empire when you and I just randomly burst into song?" Twilight said, waving her hooves.
"Yeah. That was...weird." Spike said, scratching his head.
"I've been wondering, is there some kind of sickness that causes this? Is there some kind of poison joke we've all been exposed to? Are we all just characters in...some kind of movie or play?"
"I guess everypony just likes to sing." Spike said, shrugging.
"But Spike, we can't just shrug this off!" Twilight scoffed.
"Look, if you're so interested in music, why don't you make a musical yourself?" Spike joked. Twilight thought about it for a moment and then got a brilliant idea.
"You're absolutely right, Spike! I should make my own musical!" Twilight exclaimed.
"But I was only being sarcastic..." Spike murmured. But it was too late. Twilight had already gotten out a quill and ink. She leaned over her candlelit desk and thought of what exactly to write.
"Now...where to begin." Twilight thought aloud.
"I dunno. At the beginning, that's a very good place to start." Spike suggested.
"Yes, but what should my musical be about?" Twilight asked.
"You got me." Spike said. "Why don't you ask your friends?"
"Great idea, Spike." Twilight said as she rubbed Spike's head. "But I think I'll write a little bit before I show it to them." Twilight picked up her quill and started writing.
Twilight wrote of little red-haired filly. She walked over to a lamppost and leaned against it. The filly let out a heavy sigh and looked up to the sky.
"Can't do nothing about...my sorrow. All I do is holler 'bout my sorrow. Till I'm done. I whine all about...my sorrow. I'll do it till I get what I want, fast not slow. And I have fun." The filly sang. The filly overdramatically put her hoof over her head. She then turned and revealed her true nature. She started kicking rocks violently.
"I don't want to wait! I'm great! And lovely! Soon I will win! And then I'll say...." The filly cackled.
"Everypony but me, will have sorrow! Could care less for the ponies who have sorrow! To this day! No sorrow! No sorrow! I will have no sorrow! Everything will go my way! Oh! No sorrow! No sorrow! I will have...no sorrow! Everything will go...my....waaaaaaaaayyy!" The filly sang as she flung herself around the lamppost. When stopped spinning, a puppy came her way. The filly went over to pet it. Unfortunately it had rabies and the filly was taken to the hospital for evil orphans.
The End
"What the hay was that?" Applejack questioned.
