Here we see our cast chilling in a big room. Everyone is there, Samantha with Selene or her shoulder, the mane six, the princesses, and the other background ponies. They were all talking about random things to pass the time until the Author wrote the next chapter. A young grey bat pony filly with a two tone blue mane and different colored eyes, the left one being ocean blue while the right one was crimson red, walked into the room with a clipboard, adjusting her glasses as she scanned everyone in attendance.

"Hey, has anyone seen Sunny?" Blaze asked, getting shrugs from most.

"She has been too lazy lately for my tastes. We were supposed to have a new chapter already!" Sam complained, the others nodding in agreement.

"Guys, she has made this clear various times," Blaze explained with a sigh. "She can only write something if she finds inspiration, and that inspiration only comes when she's distracted."

"Sooooo she's just lazy." Rainbow simplified, causing the filly to huff and some among the crowd to laugh.

Before things could escalate into an argument, a loud slam was heard as the door smashed against the wall. There, standing in the doorway, was a pony who to most would look like Sunset Shimmer, but with a few differences. Firstly, her cutie mark was that of a bread and a play button. Second and most obvious, she was big. Not tall, just big. She was just a few inches shorter than Celestia, but her overall figure wasn't lanky by any stretch of the imagination. Most could even say she was a little chubby, and-

"Keep going and I'll fire you!" She shouted at the ceiling- err, me. Anyhow, this was the Author, CroisSunnyPlay, simply referred to as Sunny.

"Everyone!" She exclaimed.

"What is it Sunny? Are you finally gonna make a new chapter?" Sam asked as she approached.

"It's not that! Look!" Her horn glowed and a screen popped up. Luna rose an eyebrow at what she was seeing.

"It's our story's page on Fimfiction. What of it?"

Sunny groaned. "Not that! This!"

The image zoomed in to a specific part of the page and everyone gasped. Except me, I already knew since I'm the Narrator. Anyway, what made everyone gasp was simply the number displayed at the "Views" part: 1.5k. Quite a few jaws dropped. Pinkie's unhinged. Samantha conjured a cup of water and sipped it before spraying it all over Sunny. Sunny was not amused.

"Okay, first: Eww." She huffed as her horn glowed, a heating spell drying her fur. "Second: You guys know what this means!"

Everyone in the room instantly scramble into action, pushing couches and chairs out of the way while the others set up a projector in front of a blank wall. Sunny approached and turned it on before smiling as everyone took positions to watch, Pinkie giving out popcorn to those that wanted. As soon as the countdown finished, everyone could see the bold letters displayed.

THE START OF A NEW JOURNEY
BLOOPERS/DELETED SCENES

Sam stood in the forest, complaining about the scene.

"Do I really have to do this only in a bra and panties?"

"For the last time, yes!" Sunny shouted from her position. "This is the scene where you poke yourself on a branch, which will lead to you wishing to have clothes and conjuring for the first time!"

"Uugh, fine..." She said defeated.

"Alright, Scene one, Take one, Action!" Sunny ordered.

Sam walked towards one of the trees with a low branch, making sure it would poke her as she passed. She felt it only graze against her and was about to ask to go again before a loud "RIIIIP" was heard and she suddenly felt a breeze down south.

Looking down, she finally noticed an absence of her undergarments, letting out a startled "KYYYYAAAAAAAA!!!!" and wrapping her tails around herself to try and cover her bits.

"CUT!!! CUT DAMMIT!!!" Sunny yelled as she squeezed her eyes shut with a furious blush, using her hooves to block Blaze's line of sight.

"Hey stop that! I'm older than I look!"

"Hah, I wish I could have seen that!"

"Fuck you Rainbow."

Sunny looked at Nightmare, who was just Luna with a rubber mask, and Twilight while Samantha waited in the next room.

"Alright, in this scene Samantha will come in from the next room and start talking to you two, and then the rest of the mane six will rush in and you will do your rainbow kamehameha thing."

"It's not a-" Twilight began, but was interrupted by Sunny.

"Whatever! Anyway, any questions?"

"We have one." Luna said and gestured to her mask. "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?"

Sunny smiled sheepishly. "Well uh... We didn't have the budget for a full body suit... And besides, they will fix that in the edition!"

Luna groaned. "Fine, let's get this over with."

"Alright, Scene three Take one, Action!"

The scene played fine for the most part. The problem happened when the others rushed in and Fluttershy tripped. Panicking, she spread her wings to catch herself only to be sent flying into Samantha, knocking the fox on her back while the timid pony straddled her waist. Fluttershy for her part, noticing the position she was in, blushed with a nervous smile as she looked at Sam.

"O-oh my... Do you... Come here often?"

"FLUTTERSHY!?!?" Everyone exclaimed, except for Sunny.

"CUT!!!"

"Ah still can't believe ya said that."

"I-it was probably a reaction..."

"So you're saying that I will willingly let myself be smacked in the face by a book in this scene." Sam deadpanned.

"It's just a book." Sunny said with an eyeroll. "Blaze will make sure only the flat side of it hit you." She pointed at the filly, who waved from her perch.

"Arrgh fine! Sometimes I think I'm just your scapegoat." Sam grumbled, getting in position under the covers.

"Scene six Take one, Action!"

The scene started and, when she saw the signal, Blaze tipped the book just enough to make the flat side fall on Sam's face. Everyone waited for the practiced gasp that would come, however what they got was an-

"AAAAHHHHH WHY IS IT SO HEAVY!?!?!?"

Samantha had her face smashed under the book. Everyone looked in confusion, the book for this scene shouldn't be so heavy. Twilight approached the pained fox, glancing at the book on top of her face.

"I think I see the problem." She said, levitating the book and turning it to face the others. That was most definitely not the book for the scene, as the title at the cover read The Pranking Encyclopedia, nothing useful, just heavy enough for pranks. Rainbow and Pinkie couldn't hold it in anymore and began rolling on the ground in laughter, their prank having gone off smoothly. Well... Almost.

A shadow suddenly loomed over the two, causing their laughter to cease as a chill went down their spines. Looking up, they saw Samantha with a blank expression, the side of her face that was hit by the book sporting a black eye.

"Omae wa mou shindeiru." She said, and the two gasped.

"NANI!?!?"

"CUT!!!"

"Serves you two right, my face was swollen for three hours."

"And you didn't have to spank us like that!"

"Yeah, my bottom is still sore! Owie!"

Sunny stared. The next scene was playing out so perfectly. The cast all had memorized their lines, the background ponies were doing their parts flawlessly, even Selene was doing great.

So why, oh why, did this have to happen?

"...Tell me again how you got tangled in her tails."

Blaze pouted. "I don't know! I was following the script, petting her tails while she was distracted, then this!"

Indeed, the filly was very much looking like she was in a cocoon made of Samantha's three tails. Said fox was blinking owlishly down at them, while Selene giggled in the backpack.

"Me next, me next!"

"Speak of this to anyone and I'll vaporized you slowly and painfully." The vampony said darkly. Everyone wisely took a step away from the filly.

Now we see our cast inside town hall, while Sunny was in the Mayor's office with Samantha.

"You're not serious. You're aren't, right?" Sam asked.

"Well, I needed an excuse to have the Mayor let you have a house for free. This was the first thing that came to mind. Besides, the Mayor is not old, she just dyes her mane grey."

Mayor Mare blinked. "Wait, she thought I was-"

"Fine! I'll do it... It's not like I have any choice, do I?"

Sunny grinned. "That's the spirit! Almost. Anyway, everybody to their positions! Scene nine take one, action!"

A FEW MOMENTS LATER...

Town Hall was shaking furiously. There were sounds of howls and screams and the slapping of flesh. Everypony who was inside had wisely evacuated and was now staring wide eyed as the voice of the Mayor could be heard from inside.

"Who's old now!? I still have very much youth to share!"

Sunny opened the door, a trail of blood dripping from her nostrils and down her chin.

"C... Cut..."

"I-I thought you said you got rid of that recording!"

"Relax Mayor, it's not like anypony would be stupid enough to share this."

Luna kept a straight face as she discreetly typed furiously on her phone.

Gilda struggled against the tails constricting her.

"This wasn't in the script!" She screeched.

Sunny took one look at the situation, sighed and turned around.

"Blaze! Bring me my bottle of 'Not Medicine'!"

"What is Not Medicine?"

"Something you will be having a lot should you one day be in the same position as me, Pinkie..."

Sam patted Sunny's head comfortingly.

"Alright Vinyl, Samantha. This scene is simple. Just a normal interaction between employer and future employee." Sunny explained, reading the script.

"Seems easy enough." Sam said, Vinyl nodding in agreement. Sunny returned to her chair, and took a megaphone.

"Action!"

Vinyl lowered her glasses with a sly grin. "So ya wanna work for me? I can say you have the right curves for it."

Sam giggled with a little blush. "That's kind of you. I can't wait to work for a pony like you, Mistress~"

"CUT!!!" Exclaimed a red faced Sunny. "What the hell was THAT!?"

Sam and Vinyl looked at each other and shrugged. "You asked for a normal interaction between employee and employer. This is considered normal in this situation." Vinyl pointed out.

Sunny sputtered for a moment while Blaze rose an eyebrow.

"I'm actually afraid to ask."

"I still am actually."

Sunny screamed on a pillow she took.

Sam closed the door to Selene's room after having used her Judgement. The scene was going smoothly this time, and she headed back to the living room. She found a certain skeleton in a blue jacket waiting for her.

"Hey there lady. You don't happen to know a certain demon child and flower, do you?"

Sam blinked then turned to side, glaring at a child in a green sweater raiding her chocolate stash with a yellow flower in a pot glaring back at her.

Sunny wept that even the multiverse wouldn't let her have a perfect scene.

"I still think you didn't catch my best angle." Sans said as he sipped on a bottle of ketchup.

Sunny wept yet again.

"Okay," Sunny said. "This is a fairly simple and short scene. Pinkie will knock on the door to Sam's house and try to use her welcome wagon. Samantha will then think she is a salespony and say she's not interested in anything before slamming the door on her face."

"I can already feel something will go wrong..." Sam mumbled.

"Shush you. Alright, everyone ready? Action!"

The knock never came. Instead, an axe made a hole in the door suddenly, making everyone jump back in surprise as a straight-maned Pinkie put her head through the hole and smiled widely.

"Heeeeeeeeere's Pinkie~!"

Everyone ran away screaming.

The cast took a collective step away from the pink pony, who rolled her eyes.

"It was just a prank, sillies!"

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Blaze ignored the bloody axe in the fridge as she took a box of juice.

Sam read the script for the next scene.

"An Ursa Minor about to smash Trixie while I will suddenly have an incredible boost in speed to save her? How the hell are you gonna do that?"

The large frame of the Ursa stomped into view while everyone stared. Atop it's head, Fluttershy was teaching Blaze how to deal with the big baby.

"...And if you scratch her right behind the ear like this, you can see how happy she will be in a few minutes!" The shy pony spoke with a smile.

Blaze nodded and went over to the ear that was bigger than herself, starting to scratch behind it with her hooves. The Ursa closed it's eyes in bliss before laying down and rolling on it's back, where Blaze and Shy proceeded to start rubbing it's belly. Everyone blinked before Trixie turned to Sunny.

"Trixie is not paid enough for this."

Everyone shared a good laugh as the projector was turned off. Sunny, even though these laughs were at the expense of many hours lost with the story, it was good to see the cast just enjoying themselves like this. They worked just as hard as herself, and deserved to relax every now and then. She would say these 1.5k views were well deserved. When they calmed down, Sunny walked in front of them.

"I would like to thank everyone who suppoted and still support me with this story, it was hard getting where I am today. To think when I first joined this site I had no clue on how to do a good story, now sometimes I look back and don't believe those old things were written by me."

She took a deep breath, looking at everyone of the cast before turning to look at the reader.

"It means a lot to me when you take the time to read through what I wrote, and every like that is added to the story is another one to brighten up my day. I can't say it enough: thank you all so much."

Everyone joined together in smiling at the reader.

"THANK YOU FOR 1.5k VIEWS!!!"
