A Musical About a Musical

Pinkie's room was an absolute mess! There were books and plays everywhere, practically wallpapering the place!  Pinkie had even built her baby alligator, Gummy, a little fort out of playbooks.

"Pinkie Pie," gasped Sweetie Belle, "your room looks like Twilight's library!"

"Nuh-uh," said Pinkie Pie. "Twilight's books don't have as much alligator drool on them. I just bought all of these this morning! I haven't gotten a chance to go through them, like I said. Take a look!"

The ponies began to dig (literally) through the scripts.

"What's Annie Get Your Gun about?" asked Scootaloo.

"A gunslingin' cowgirl!" Pinkie Pie cried happily.

"Oh boy!" grinned Scootaloo. "We have got to do this one!"

"What's a cowgirl?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"You do not want to know," Apple Bloom replied with a shudder at the idea of somepony riding her while wearing spurs.

"Hmmm," said Scootlaoo, "I just realized that we can't really hold guns anyway. Let's keep looking."

"I've got it!" announced Pinkie Pie. "You three can do Les Miserables!"

"'Miser-ables?'" repeated Sweetie Belle. "That doesn't sound like your kind of show, Pinkie Pie."

"Normally it's not," Pinkie admitted, "but this show is soooooooo cool! There's wars and love and even French ponies!"

Pinkie Pie: In the olden days the bourgeois

Were really living high

They didn't care about the poor

Who had to sit and cry

Some students didn't like the set-up

They decided they would get up

And they'd start a war against the other wealthy jerks

Meanwhile there's another guy

His name is Jean Valjean

He is an escaped prisoner

There's a lot going on

An officer dude wants his head

All cause he stole a loaf of bread

To save his family, he has got a lot of noble quirks

Their plots all start to intertwine, hope it turns out all right

The war begins and all the people start to fight and fight

And fight and fight

And fight and fight

And fight and fight

And fight

Oh the war is raging and Valjean, he gets a lucky break

The officer is captured and the guy begins to quake

But Valjean, he is much too nice

He gives the captive's ropes a slice

The officer can't understand and then…he hangs…himself!

Turning, turning

All of the soldiers die

Turning, turning, turning, turning

So…sad…

But Valjean's kid gets married and

Valjean's afterlife will be grand

Cutie Mark Crusaders: We just found the show we wanna do

There is violence and romance too

Everybody cheer, all right, yahoo

This will be so great, great

Our dreams will soon come true

Yeah, this could really work

Cause when we're done

We might all finally

Get our cutie marks!
