INT. HAPPY HOME-DAY

FADE IN on the HAPPY FAMILY (Pa, Ma and Little Candy Sunshine) sitting down to breakfast.

SUNSHINE:

Morning Ma! Morning Pa!

MA:

Morning Sunshine! Say, is that a new dress? I bet Happy Days would take notice of something like that this close to the big dance!

SUNSHINE:

Maaaaaaaa!

MA:

Don't you agree Pa?

PA:

Honey, all I know is this breakfast is just like my new car: solid and smelling of varnish.

Everyone except Ma laughs. The idyllic scene freezes.

ANNOUNCER:(V.O)

Has this ever happened to you?

SPIDER-PONY is thrown through the wall and into the table. A horrified Little Sunshine's dress is covered in breakfast. Her parents stare nonplussed at the semi-conscious Spidey.

ANNOUNCER:(V.O)

When there's somepony strange in your neighbourhood...

Spideyis yanked back out through the hole by a chain.

EXT. SUBURBIA-DAY.

The family peer through to see him getting slammed into the pavement over and over again by TATSURION THE UNCHAINED. He is finally smashed through Pa's new car.

ANNOUNCER:

Who you gonna call?

Tatsurion hurls Spidey into the air and launches a barrage of missiles after him.

ANNOUNCER:

How about...

SPIDEY:

This is gonna sting.

Cut back JUST before the missiles reach our hero to the house, where a wagon with the DAMAGE CONTROL logo pulls up.

BARBER SHOP QUARTET:(V.O)

DAMAGE CONTROOOOOOOLLLLL!

An army of construction ponies march out and start rebuilding everything in a still frame montage.

ANNOUNCER:(V.O)

Yes, Damage Control, the number one super shenanigans repair company!

The wall is bricked back up, the kitchen is repaired, Pa's car town away, Little Sunshine models for a custom made ball gown and Tatsurion strokes his chin while listening to a compelling argument from  PORTER.

ANNOUNCER:(V.O)

No task is too daunting or just plain strange for our highly trained task force of builders, interior decorators, mechanics, tailors and negotiators!

Tatsurion and Porter shake claws/hooves and the great beast leaves. The Happy family stand outside their sparkling and more luxurious home.

HAPPY FAMILY:

Thanks Damage Control!

An unnoticed and smoking SPIDEY crash lands in the garbage can.

ANNOUNCER:(V.O)

And the first one's free! When the super ponies need help, they call...Damage Control!

There's a thunderclap and the sky turns dark. SPIDEY pokes his head out of the can as GALACTUS descends upon Manehattan.

SPIDEY:

There has GOT to be a better way to make a living.

FADE TO BLACK
