Twilight Attempts To Write A Musical

"No seriously, what the hay was that?" Applejack asked once more as Twilight held her scroll with the musical on it to her.

"Well...it's my musical!" Twilight said sheepishly.

"Not to be rude or anything, sugarcube, but maybe you should leave musicals to the professionals." Applejack suggested.

"Applejack, have you noticed how much ponies have been singing? With this, I might be able to figure out the psychology of the ponies!" Twilight explained.

"Twi, you're acting like singing is some kind of disease! I reckon everypony loves a good tune every once and a while." Applejack said as a band of protesters passed by Twilight and Applejack's path. They held large signs with red letters.

"There are no griffons in Equestria! And the roads are paved with hay! Yes there are no griffons in Equestria! So throw your distress away!" The protesters sang to anypony who came their way.

"Some more than others..." Applejack murmured with a annoyed expression. "Look Twi, you and I both know this town ain't normal compared to others. And that's okay. But if you really want to do this, I'll help."

"You will!?" Twilight said with glee.

"Ain't that what friends are for?" Applejack said with a grin. Applejack then looked more carefully at the scroll. She then put it down on a nearby bench. "Twilight, no offense but this looks more like the idea for a comic strip than a musical. Let's try somethin' else." Applejack said as she threw away the scroll away in a nearby garbage can. Twilight put her front hoof up in protest but it was too late. She slowly put her hoof down sadly.

"Now, how about...a story where a spell goes haywire and devastates Equestria. But see, there's these shelters called 'stables' and everypony is safe there! But later on, somepony gets curious and goes outside! A-" Applejack brainstormed.

"Applejack, that doesn't sound much like a musical to me." Twilight said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I guess you're right, Twilight. Who'd want to read a story like that anyways!" Applejack said, blushing. "Now, how bout a story about fillies who learn how to sing!"

"That's a great idea, Applejack! I'll write it up in a jiffy!" Twilight said, trotting away to her castle.

"But Twi, you can't just write a musical in a day!" Applejack yelled to her friend.

"Now! Let's see...oh I know!" Twilight said as she got an idea.

A white unicorn mare with a blonde mane stood over a couple of fillies. The mare then proceeded to sing. The children were eager to listen.

"Let's begin with the very first basics. That's the most important part." The mare sang.

"With mathematic equations you begin with 123! With music you go do re mi and in some cases you have a flat or a sharp and that could basically screw you all over big time so be careful!" The mare sang as she prolonged the verse. The fillies all had confused looks on their faces.

"Do. You must do what I tell you. Re! You must do what I said again. Mi! Electron bending energies! Fa! Factor analysis!" The mare sang while the fillies looked to each other in confusion.

"So! Second-order logic in descriptive complexity. La! Landscape architecture! Ti! Thermal instability! Which brings us back to Do!" The mare sang cheerfully.

"So! What do you think, Rarity?" Twilight said as she showed her musical to her friend.

"Well darling, I...just don't think I understood anything in that song." Rarity said, trying her best to be nice.

"What!? But it was such a beautiful and touching song!" Twilight said, exasperated.

"Yes, yes. I'm sure you would think it would be, what about all the other ponies who don't have a clue?" Rarity said.

"So what would you do to make it better?" Twilight retaliated.

"Well for starters, I'd ditch the whole, 'teach fillies how to sing', thing and pick a more...interesting idea..."
