The Ticket Master - Real Episode (3)

A/N: There were parts in this episode where the dialogue of certain characters lacked ponyisms. (Somepony, anypony, etc.) I made adjustments where necessary, but I felt compelled to alert you that the dialogue may not exactly match what was said in the episode because of this. For more Real Episodes, be sure to watch me. I plan to do the whole series over time.

The Ticket Master

Chapter 1: The Tickets

Twilight, Applejack, and Spike walked through Sweet Apple Acres, the ponies carrying saddle baskets full of apples, and Spike sitting on Twilight’s back. He took apple after apple, judging their quality. “No, nope. No.”

Applejack spoke up. “Thank you kindly, Twilight, for helpin’ me out. I bet Big Macintosh I could get all these Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime.” She now sounded excited. “If I win, he’s gonna walk down Stirrup Street wearin’ Granny’s girdles!” She laughed at the thought.

“No problem at all, Applejack,” Twilight said cheerfully. “I’m glad the goal is lunchtime. All this work is making me hungry.”

“I know!” Spike agreed, tossing an apple into the air, which landed on Twilight’s head. She gave him an annoyed look. He smiled sheepishly.

“Please, Spike. You’ve been lounging on my back all morning while we worked.”

“Exactly,” Spike explained. “You two are taking so long, I miss snack time.”

Twilight’s stomach rumbled. She chuckled embarrassedly. “I guess we better get some food.”

“Nope, no… aha!” Spike pulled out a shiny, bright red apple. Twilight licked her lips just looking at it.

“Oh, Spike! That looks delicious!” she said, though the look on her face disappeared when Spike quickly gobbled it up. “Spike!” she said, annoyed.

“What?” he asked. He suddenly gave a great belch, and a large glimmering scroll landed on the ground at their feet.

“It’s a letter from Princess Celestia,” Twilight noted, curious.

Spike opened it and read aloud. “Hear ye, hear ye. The grand royal highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce the Grand Galloping Gala, to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot on the twenty first day of… yada yada yada,” Spike scanned the rest of the letter. “…cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle, plus one guest.”

Twilight and Applejack both looked shocked. “The Grand Galloping Gala!” they said together.
