Damage Control
Previous ChapterNext ChapterINT. 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
