MLP:MaM Information

Ponyville 10 years in the future is much more technologically advanced, with the greatest advancement being "hoof-holding". A skill that few ponies knew before was now available through technology and ponies can now hold items with their hooves much easier. Ponyville has expanded and now contains many more technical facilities and schools. Background ponies and the Mane6 might appear or be mentioned from time to time.

By Buffalo Brony

Author's Note

*Since this is the pilot episode, I hope you all like it and want to keep reading, subscribe to me on YouTube, and watch me here in dA to keep reading these episodes. Thank you! Oh, this is a shipping and drama series, with my OC, Buffalo Wings, as part of the MANE6 of this series. Read the description of my OC if you want some spoilers :D And Buffalo Wings can break the fourth wall! And I think I did a pretty good job of inserting my OC into the plausible canon, so please enjoy!*

*Leave comments on ANY observations you see, there's a lot of plot (actual plot) in this series so get ready for some tension, drama, and cliffhangers. Each episode will contain at least 6 chapters and I will do at least 2 traditional MLP seasons with 25 episodes, and maybe an OVA, episode 26, for kicks. But not only that, because I also happen to be a musician, I will make songs for this series, hence the title. (9u6)/)*

Chapter 1

“La~da~da~da~daa, la~da~da~da~daa, ahh~ahh~ahh~aahhh~” *hums*

That's Sweetie Belle, the most gorgeous, adorable, beautiful, amazing, fantastic mare in all of Ponyville.

"GOOD MORNING EQUESTRIA!!!"

Says the most obnoxious colt in Ponyville. Featherweight, Ugh. Ignoring him. Back to Sweetie Belle.

*BROHOOF IN DA FACE* "Hey there Mr. Dictionary! Haha, whatcha all googly-eyed about~?"

Let’s stop time here.

This little orange chicken right here is Scootaloo. The hard-hoofed president of the Rainbowdash fanclub. She also happens to be an amazing stunt-mare and acrobat.

Speaking of Rainbowdash, I should probably go over what happened in the last 10 years.

Rainbowdash is now the captain of the Wonderbolts.

Twilight Sparkle is the captain of the Royal Guard.

Pinkie Pie is the mayor of Ponyville.

AppleJack is still working at Sweet Apple Acres.

Fluttershy is the Head Nurse in Animal Care at Ponyville Medical.

Ms. Octavia and Ms. Scratch are now my music teachers.

I guess I'll cover anybody else as we go along.

And The Great and Powerful Trixie is my mom.

HA!! DAMN STRAIGHT!! '

Bet you weren't expecting that.

Anyway, Trixie just happens to be my homeroom teacher AND she's a great rapper.

Guess that's where I get my rapping from.

Oh yes.. I've yet to introduce myself.

I'm Buffalo Wings. I sit in the front right of the class. I’m a rapper and musician, but also a writer and artist. I attend Ponyville Academy of Artistic Talent. This is my first year here, since PAAT starts accepting students at 16. I’m originally from Manehattan, but my mom and I settled here for a quieter life. She also said, she had known a very good friend here some time back. Wonder who that could be. Something cool that I can do is break the fourth wall. I'll elaborate on that when it comes around.

So what happens here is that this story takes place 10 years in the future. Got that? Leave questions in the comments box bel- (STOP BREAKING MY GODDAMN WALLS). So, I've been requested to stop. And well since this is an intro, I don't really need to tell much of a story, but here we go anyway.

Chapter 2

And then Buffalo walked in the classroom. His useless wings.. his flowing blue mane and tail.. and his hooves.. *drools...

"Hey Scoots!" Ugh.. Featherweight. When did he get in here?

"I WILL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU."

"I haven't even asked you yet! Just wait Scootaloo, you'll fall for me soon!"

And Featherweight backs up, then fly's out of the classroom, with the earth mares running out after him, unicorns teleporting, and pegasi flying out. Most of them anyway. And so I'm here in the classroom with Buffalo and Belle. Can you say AWKWARD? Sweetie Belle is putting on make-up, Buffalo is pretending to write in his notebook again, though he's actually watching her. And I'm here. Watching him. And it's dead silent in here, except for the scribbling of Buffalo's pen and the powdering of Belle's face while she's humming. And I'm here. Watching him. I should go talk to him. He considers me a good friend right? As I walk over to Buffalo, my legs are shaking, and I think my mane is getting frizzy.

Here goes. *punch*

"Hey there Mr. Dictionary! Haha, whatcha all googly-eyed about~?"

I'm an idiot! Why did I call him a dictionary!? Looks like I caught Belle's attention too.

"Nothing Scoots, I'm just writing in my book.."

"Really~?" I take his book and start waving it around. Why do I always do this...

"Scoots! C'mon! I'm using that!"

"Haha, there's nothing in here but scribbles!" He blushes as he's desperately pushing me back against the wall, trying to get his notebook. I guess this is the reason I do it. This is the closest I'm ever going to get to him while he's blushing, and up so close to me..

And I can’t hear or see anything anymore as I lose myself to pure joy and excitement.

Chapter 3

Getting to class early is always amazing. I sit in my seat near the middle of the class, next to Featherweight’s seat. No one is here and I can just listen to everything. From the train departing to other early student’s opening doors to the rustle of leaves falling outside. It’s so peaceful. Until HE comes inside. Buffalo always comes in right after me. He’s always waiting at the school gates, writing in his little notebook. EVERY MORNING. *sigh* Why did I get the freaky Pegasus musician that can’t even fly to stalk ME? Other student’s are coming in now. Time to put on my make-up.

“La~da~da~da~daa, la~da~da~da~daa, ahh~ahh~ahh~aahhh~” I’m almost done with my make-up when Feather weight bursts in.

"GOOD MORNING EQUESTRIA!!!"

That amazing stallion with his brown mane and big buff body and legs.. Such an amazing colt should only be fit with the most perfect mare. So I continue to put on more make-up.

BUT, as with everyday, the first thing he goes to is that chicken , Scootaloo, and makes a move on her. And that stupid chicken has the nerve to refuse him? Doesn’t she know that he’s a model for Photo Finish and Hoity Toity? AND a professional photographer? When do you get a smart and good looking stallion like that? Almost never. Yet she thinks she has the right to refuse him? What an idiot. I couldn’t care less about whatever they talked about. But as soon as he came, he left. It would be great if he finally realized that Scootaloo’s not good enough for him. *sigh* This make-up was all for nothing. And I’d just gotten my pink eye-shadow on too. Suddenly,  Scootaloo is awkwardly walking towards Buffalo.

And she says, "Hey there Mr. Dictionary! Haha, whatcha all googly-eyed about~?"

I put my make-up down.

Chapter 4

“GOOD MORNING EQUESTRIA!!!”

Ha, who makes an astoundingly amazing entrance? I do. And as always, Scootaloo is here making lovey-dovey faces at that douchebag Buffalo. I mean, he’s not even a buffalo. So how does his name even make any sense? Then again, my name is Featherweight, and I’m a pretty big pony. I guess I can’t really complain. As I walk over to Scootaloo, I have a pretty good feeling she’ll say yes today! Ha ha!

"I WILL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU."

"I haven't even asked you yet! Just wait Scootaloo, you'll fall for me soon!"

Shot down first thing in the morning. Not my best day. In fact, this is one of the worst days. Dumb girl. Who could say no to me? Apparently Scootaloo. But then again, that’s WHY I want her. Ha, and my confidence is back. I run towards the window, and fly out in a glorious leap! With my trail of fan-mares right on my tail, I can still go do something worthwhile today. Off I go.

Chapter 5

No one even noticed I’m here. I’m Silver Spoon. I’m a drummer and opera singer. Two totally different styles of music.  No one hangs out with me since Diamond Tiara and her family left for Manehattan. And I can’t go visit her since my father’s fallen ill and can’t work. My mother and I are now living just like a normal family, albeit a little poor. We run on funds from my concerts in both classical and hip-hop music. I perform with Buffalo when we do concerts, but I usually get A LOT less attention since I just make the beats. But Buffalo is so kind; he still splits the profits 50/50. I think he understands my situation, because he’s in the same boat. He lives only with his mom, like me. But neither of us like to talk about it. He obviously has a crush on Sweetie Belle, who has a crush on Featherweight, who has a crush on Scootaloo, who has a crush on Buffalo. Where do I fit in here? I guess you could call me the observer, but if I had to pick… I guess I do like Buffalo a bit. Does that make me Scootaloo’s rival? Haha, of course not. As a mare, I can tell how much Scootaloo loves Buffalo, and I don’t want to get in the way of that. I just admire him, that’s all…

Chapter 6

And the four students that are left in my class look at me when I enter the room.

…

“Buffalo. What are you doing to Scootaloo.”

“Mom, you didn’t even say that in the form of a question…”

“And you, Scootaloo.”

“Huh? What?”

We stare at each other for a while. Buffalo is still pressing Scootaloo against a wall. Sweetie Belle is obviously annoyed with the two for causing a commotion. She likes it when things are quiet and orderly. Silverspoon is quietly sitting in the back. Just watching. Like she always does. I bet she knows what’s happening. I’ll ask her later.

“Just get back in your seats.”

Buffalo snatches what seems to be his notebook from Scootaloo. Nevermind. I think I know what happened.

As I go to sit at my desk, I take a seat and start doing my paperwork.

Looks like I missed some papers from yesterday.

*sigh* I’m going to lose some bits for that in my paycheck.

Then, all of a sudden, everyone props up to attention. Just a bit.

Including me.

I just heard five other voices in my head.

Clear and distinct, they all said:

“Why is life so complicated?”
