Vintavia Scralody Season 4

At Canterlot High, Ms. Cheerilee is teaching the class.

“Okay, class, tomorrow we're wrapping up our biology studies with a special project. We'll be dissecting…” She pulls down a scroll of a frog and its anatomy. “..frogs!”

Her students all exclaim with joy.

“Get ready to jump in!” She laughs but gets no reaction; Ms. Cheerilee gets disappointed. “Really? No one?”

“Dissecting frogs? That sounds…” Vinyl said eager.

Cuts to Vinyl and Octavia’s house were Octavia finishes Vinyl’s sentence.

“...Horrible! You can't do that!” Said Octavia worriedly.

“They're just frogs, Tavi. What's the big deal?” Said the DJ.

Octavia takes Vinyl by the hoof and leads her to their room. Octavia gets out a portable projector.

“Watch this little movie about frogs.” Said the cellist as she gives Vinyl the projector.

Vinyl cranks the handle on the projector and peeps through the lens. The film is about a little boy having fun on a pond. He gets squirted and it’s revealed to be a frog. The boy then squirts him back and they laugh. The kid then decided to leave home, but the little froggy paddles on his lily pad and makes a sad face to the little boy. The kid then offered the frog to let him live with him. During the day they got to do some activities together like: taking a photo together, taking a bath together, and eating dinner together. At night, the little boy kisses the Froggy Goodnight and goes to sleep, the frog leaps out of his tank and rests himself next to the little boy. The kid winces, notices and smiles as the two of them slumber together.

As the film ends, Vinyl is touched and driven to tears. “That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.”

Octavia walks up to Vinyl and gives her a hug, kisses her on the forehead, and stroke her hair. “You see, Vinyl? Frogs are cooler on the outside than they are on the inside. So please, don't dissect them.”

“I won't. And neither will anyone else.” Said Vinyl confidently.

“What do you mean?”

“Octy, I know what we’re gonna do today. We're going on a rescue mission.”

The two mares hoof bump.

********

The next day in Canterlot High.

“Alright, class, when we return from lunch, we'll leap into our frog dissecting!” Said Ms. Cheerilee making a joke, but still gets no reaction. “Come on! I'm giving you comedy gold here!”

The bell rings and the class goes out to lunch. Ms. Cheerilee locks the door and as soon as she leaves, Vinyl pops up from the corner and busts out her phone.

“Octavia, where are you?” Octavia taps Vinyl from behind and the DJ turns around. “Oh, there you are Tavi.”

“You ready to do this.” Said Octavia confidently.

“You know it.” Replied the DJ

“Vintavia Scralody!” Cried the two mares before they fall out.

They trot and Octavia breaks out her locksmith equipment and grabs one of her keys to open the door to Ms. Cheerilee’s room, but it fails.

“We have a problem. It's a surface mounted deadbolt with a tumbler locking mechanism.” Said Octavia observing the lock.

“In English, please?” Said Vinyl not understanding Octavia.

“We'll have to find another way in.” Said the cellist clearly.

They sneak through the vents and come across a shaft. They open it and Octavia ties a rope around her waist while Vinyl holds it to lure her down. She dives in with Vinyl straining a bit from the velocity of the leap and Octavia’s lowers herself to find she's actually in the principal's office.

Vinyl gasps. “Cranky Doodle Donkey? Wrong room. Wrong room!”

She struggles to pull Octavia back up and the cellist uses a spy claw to pull her up just before Cranky notices.

Vinyl gets exhausted from pulling. “Good job, Octavia.” The two hoof bump.

Soon, the two mares finally find Ms. Cheerilee’s room under the floor and make it in.

“What's up, frog-ays? We're here to rescue you!” Said Vinyl to the frogs in the tank.

Just then, the doorknob is rattling, meaning Ms. Cheerilee is coming. The pair look at each other and gulp in fear. Ms. Cheerilee enters the room to find the frogs are gone.

Ms. Cheerilee gasps. “My frogs!” She runs to the window. “MR. DOODLE! MR. DOODLE!” She runs out of the room to tell Mr. Doodle and closes the door.

Vinyl and Octavia reveal themselves to have been behind her desk instead of having escaped with the frogs.

“Whoa. That open window decoy was brilliant.” Said Vinyl sighing with relief.

“Thanks Vinyl.” Octavia said with gratitude.

The girls then proceed to exit through the window for real.

********

Later Vinyl and Octavia take the frogs to Saddle Lake.

“Be free, our amphibian friends! Be free!” Said Octavia, but the frogs don’t listen.

Vinyl dumps them out of the tank.

“Good luck, frog-ays! Have a nice life!” Said Vinyl.

Just as the frogs begin to enjoy their freedom, a flock of birds circles above them.

“Uh, you guys might wanna get moving.” Said Vinyl looking a bit scared.

Some turtles rise from the water, preparing to snack on the frogs.

“Seriously, go!” Exclaimed Octavia.

Some snakes are eyeing the amphibian appetizers.

“Do you wanna be today's lunch special? MOVE!” Yelled Vinyl but they don't budge. “Why aren't they moving?” Vinyl moaned.

“Maybe they don't know how to survive in the wild.” Said Octavia before noticing a snake trying to eat one of them. “HEY, YOU! NOT COOL!” She wrestles the snake and saves the frog. “Vinyl, we can't leave them here.”

Vinyl starts gathering them up. “You're right. We'll take them home till we can think of a better plan.”

Just then a raccoon arrives with a bib, knife and fork, ready to eat them. Vinyl and Octavia glare at it and throws some rocks at him causing the raccoon to flee away in fear.

Vinyl and Octavia grab the tank and head back to their house and up to their room, placing it on their bed.

“They'll be safe here. Come on. We gotta go. Lunch hour's almost up.” Said Vinyl.

“Good call.” Said Octavia.

The two leave their house.

********

Back at Canterlot high, in Ms. Cheerilee’s class, Vinyl and Octavia sit down on their seats and wipe their foreheads in relief. Just then, Cranky Doodle Donkey enters the classroom not looking happy.

Cranky walks up to the chalkboard. “Good afternoon, class. Ms. Cheerilee has informed me that some frogs have gone missing.” Vinyl and Octavia sink lower in their desks. “Does anyone know anything about that?” He looks around. “Well, I've been in this racket for quite a while, and I think I know what happened. One of you thought you'd be a hero and rescue the poor creatures, and the frogs would be so grateful they'd put up a statue of you! So...who is the frog hero?” To Vinyl. “Is it you? Ribbit, ribbit?”

Vinyl laughs nervously. “Uh...not me, sir. I'm no hero.”

“Okay. No one wants to confess. I guess we can just let it slide. NOT! I'll find the frog hero myself by searching each of your houses after school! So get ready. Cranky is coming.” Said Cranky with determination in his eyes.

Vinyl and Octavia glance at each other and gulp in panic.

The bell rings and the two mares rush out of the school hiding in one of the bushes.

“Do you think Cranky knew what we just did?” Asked Octavia worriedly.

“Probably not. But we gotta get home and hide those frogs, stat!” Said Vinyl with determination in her eyes as Octavia nods confidently.

Vinyl and Octavia began running home, but they stop to notice Cranky in front of them as he is approaching a house. The duo try to use stealth mode to sneak past him.

Cranky begins knocking on the Door. “Open up, Lights! Frog inspection!”

Vinyl and Octavia eventually make it safely back home.

“We'll just hide the frogs in the garage. Easy peasy, Lemon squeezy.” Said Vinyl grinning.

As soon as they open the door, they are shocked as to what they are looking at.

“Not so Easy peasy, Lemon squeezy.” Said Octavia.

The frogs have gotten out and are everywhere in the house.

“How'd the frogs get out?” The DJ exclaimed.

Vinyl and Octavia start gathering the frogs. Vinyl uses a pool skimmer to gather some up and tosses them in the laundry basket with pillows for safe impact. Octavia gets a snow shovel tied to the height that scoops up any frogs she comes across. Some frogs are put back in the tank.

“10 down, 40 to go.” Said Octavia as she takes a breather.

Just then Mr. Doodle is pounding at their door.

“Scratch! Melody! Open up! Frog inspection!” He called out.

Before they open the door, Cranky just barges in.

“Good afternoon, girls.” He looks around the living room. “Well, I don't see any frogs here. I guess I'll just be on my way.” Vinyl and Octavia smile at each other relieved. “NOT!” He shouted.

As he continues his inspection, the pair notice some frogs nearby while he's not looking. Vinyl yelps in panic and grabs their principals coat.

“Let me take your coat.” Said Vinyl before tossing it over the frogs out of Cranky’s view.

“Yes, just put that down anywhere, why don't you?” Said Cranky sarcastically.

He checks under a sofa cushion which has some gross content beneath and under the sofa itself. Octavia then spots a frog by the window behind the TV and closes the curtain.

“Uh...I didn't want the glare to hurt your eyeballs, sir.” The Cellist smiled sheepishly.

Just then, Some glass shatters off in the distance.

“What was that?” Cranky asked himself.

That noise came from some frogs in the kitchen and Vinyl and Octavia pick them up and put them in the fridge. They forgot one and Vinyl grabs it before Cranky enters.

“You two seem a bit nervous.” Said the Donkey suspiciously.

Vinyl has a frog in her mouth as she talks muffled. “Not at all!” A fly comes whizzing by and the frog grabs it with its tongue. “Mmm. Protein.” Vinyl chuckled.

Cranky looks in the pantry and the oven, and just as he's about to check the fridge, Octavia squirts him with a hose connected to the sink.

“Sorry, sir. You had some schmutz on you. Here, let me get you a towel.” Said Octavia as she rubs Cranky’s face.

While he can't see, Vinyl spits the frog out and tosses it onto the ceiling.

Cranky ceases Octavia’s rubbing. “Stop it!” He hears a thud from the distance. “Hmm...maybe I'll go check UPSTAIRS!”

The three go upstairs and one frog is on the inside of the wall. A fly comes by and the frog catches it while hitting Cranky face in the process. Vinyl grabs it and hides it behind his back before Cranky notices.

Vinyl has some viscous substance on her hoof. “Wet willie! Uh...just trying to lighten the mood.” She chuckled nervously.

Cranky looks around and can’t see any frogs. “Well, upstairs looks clear. I need to use your restroom.”

Octavia rushes into the restroom and checks the bathroom to find that there are no frogs in there.

“I usually do this alone.” Said the Donkey suspiciously.

“Oh, right. Sure. Uh, I'm just gonna...check the toilet. Gotta make sure I didn't leave anything in there.” Octavia opens it and finds a frog in there; grabs it before Cranky sees it. “You're good to go!”

Octavia leaves the bathroom as Cranky slams it shut. The two mares glanced at each other before they rush downstairs and find two more frogs on the sofa. Vinyl covers them up with the back brace on the sofa. Octavia sees some in the fireplace and pulls the easy chair in front of it to hide them just as Cranky arrives downstairs after taking care of his business.

“Well, it appears your house is frog-free, so I'll be on my way.” He said.

“Good luck, sir. Keep fighting the good fight.” Said Vinyl confidently.

I'll just grab your…” Octavia notices the coat is gone. “..coat?”

They look around and find the coat having moved from one spot to another with some lumps under it.

“I'll grab my own coat.” Said cranky as he does so.

Vinyl and Octavia hold each and gasp and the coat looks fine.

“What is wrong with you two?” Cranky asked suspiciously.

“Nothing. Drive safe.” Said Octavia who smiles sheepishly.

Just as Cranky is about to leave, his coat starts bulging.

“What the-” He starts yelling and shaking and finds the frogs in his coat as they hop away. “YOU ARE THE FROG HEROS!” He yelled pointing his hoof and Vinyl and Octavia.

The two mares wince at each other and sigh in defeat.

********

Vinyl and Octavia are in their room, gathering up the frogs and putting them back in the tank.

“We're sorry. We failed you.” Sighed Octavia.

“If only Mr. Doodle could see you the way we do.” Vinyl sighed.

“I guess the only thing we can do is keep on watching this movie.” Said Octavia holding the portable projector.

Vinyl gasps. “Octavia! You Genius!” Exclaimed Vinyl cheerfully as she hugs Octavia tightly.

At Canterlot High, Cranky is now watching the film and has been moved the way Vinyl has.

“That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.” Said Cranky as he and Ms. Cheerilee are both driven to tears.

Cheerilee in tears. “Don't hog it, Doodle! I wanna watch it again!” She takes the projector and watches the film again.

“See? Frogs are way cooler on the outside.” Said Vinyl.

“There is no way we're dissecting them. But what are we going to do with all these frogs?" Asked Cranky.

“I’m glad you asked.” Said Octavia Confidently.

Some time later, the frogs now have their own little paradise in the tank.

“We call it the Frog-ay Fortress.” Said Vinyl.

The students all gather to observe with fascination.

“Um, what are those two frogs doing?” Asked a Female student curiously.

Ms. Cheerilee exclaims in shock and covers the tank with the map of Canada. “CLASS DISMISSED!”

********

Vinyl and Octavia are walking home after school together.

“I’m glad that’s over.” Said Vinyl grinning with relief.

“Me too, I’m also glad we got off the hook.” Agreed Octavia.

Just then, the two mares walk by a Buffet, come back to it and see a poster advertising a new dish added to their menu.

“Tonight's special: roasted duck enchiladas?!” They read in unison.

The two look at each other and run off with the restaurant's entire shipment of ducks, trying to set them free and going through their animal saving mission once again.
