Once A Shadow - From the other side

Damn, who knew Crystal could be so aggressive? I sluggishly dragged myself out of bed, finding no one in the room. Typical, they skip off in the early morning only to be found later somewhere else entirely. Ah well, I shouldn't worry about it. I made myself the usual before heading downstairs, to find Soarin still snoozing in his chair. I thought for a few seconds before coming up with an evil plan. I went back upstairs, grabbed a glass bowl and filled it with water. I then went back downstairs and quietely snuck up to him, before placing the bowl on the table next to him. Very carefully, I shifted his hoof over to the bowl and put it in. Just then, Blaze trotted in. I simply put my hoof to my lips and she nodded, before moving on. I stepped back before letting things settle in. About half a minute later, Soarin woke up, realizing something was wrong. He looked over to his hoof which was in the bowl, then looked down.

"What the hay man? Why would you do something like that?" He yelled.

"Sorry, but it was too irresistible. In all fairness you probably shouldn't have slept there all night." I replied smiling.

He sighed. "I guess you're right, but I'm getting you back for this, understand?"

"I'll be waiting then."

"Great. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get myself cleaned up." And with that, he bolted off for the nearest bathroom. After I had finished laughing my head off, I headed outside and found Spitfire.

"Hey."

"Hey Hornet, what's up?"

"I've been wondering...how long has it been since you've been on a date?"

She blushed before coming up with an answer. "I'd say it's been about fifty years, why? Wait, you're not thinking of..."

"Yes, yes I am. I even know the perfect place."

"Alright, where?" She asked, sounding enthusiastic.

"Baltimare, I heard they're shooting a movie there right now, so I thought why not go there and have a look?"

She thought for a minute. "Okay, you've got me. Let's go!" Once we arrived in Baltimare, the first thing we did was grab a bite to eat. After all, you can't go sightseeing on an empty stomach. After filling up, we went searching for the supposed movie being filmed. After about an hour of searching, we gave up. "It's no good, I can't find anything."

"Hold on, look over there." I said, pointing to a studio. Above the doorway, a sign was hanging saying: 'Manespray recording in progress, do not disturb.' "Bingo."

"Are you sure they're just going to let us in?" She asked.

I smiled. "Don't worry, I've got a good feeling about this." We walked up to the door with a guard in front of it. The guard walked in front of us.

"You there, I was wondering when you'd show up, you're scene's being recorded in 5. I see you've found somepony else to help out as well, good." He stepped out of the way and we headed inside.

"How did you-?"

"Manage it? I signed up for being an extra on one of the scenes, but I needed someone else as well."

"So you brought me along. You planned this whole thing, didn't you?"

"Of course. Now come on, we're needed." After heading into the stage area, A colt walked up to everyone and called out.

"All right, places everypony! we're recording in 5, 4, 3..."

"Wait, what do I do?" Spitfire asked worriedly.

"Just follow my lead, ok?" I said smiling.

"Hey there teenage Baltimare!
Don't change that channel!
'Cause it's time for the Colty
Collins Show! Brought to you by
Ultra Clutch Manespray!

Ev'ry afternoon
When the clock strikes four
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

A crazy bunch of colts
Crash through that door yeah
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

Well they throw off their coats
And leave the squares behind
And then they shake it, shake it, shake it
Like they're losing their mind
You'll never see them frown
'Cause they're the nicest colt in town

So every afternoon
You turn your T.V. on
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)

And we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)

And then you twist and shout
For your favorite star
And when you've practiced every step
That's in your repertoire
You better come on down
And meet the nicest colts in town

Nice bright colts
Who like to lead the way
And once a month
We have our "Griffon day!"
And I'm the pony who keeps it spinnin' round
Mr. Colty Collins
With the latest, greatest Baltimare sound!!

So every afternoon
Drop everything woo!
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

Who needs to read and write
When you can dance and sing?
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

Forget about your algebra
And calculus
You can always do your homework
On the morning rush
Can't tell a verb from a noun
They're the nicest colts in town

Roll Call!!

And I'm...LINK!

So, if every night you're shaking
As you lie in bed
(pony-pony, ooh, pony-pony)
Shake it baby!

And the bass and drums
Are pounding in your head
(pony-pony, ooh, pony-pony)
Who cares about sleep
When you can snooze in
School?

They'll never get to college
But they sure look cool
Don't need a cap and a gown
When you’re the nicest
colts in town

Nicest colts in...
colts in town!
Woo!"

"Not bad Spitz, didn't know you could dance so well."

"I didn't know you could either. Come on, lets get back before somepony realizes who I am." We quickly left the studio and took off back to Cloudsdale. When we got back, Soarin and Balze were nowhere to be found. Shrugging it off, I decided to go get some sleep. Heading upstairs I found Crystal, trying to get into my room.

"Something wrong?" I asked.

"The door's locked, I can't get in."

"That's why I always carry a key, here take a spare." I unlocked the door and opened it, to find Soarin and Blaze making out on my bed! "Motherfucker... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!"

"Oh, hey there. Just call it revenge, now if you'll excuse me..." He said before shutting the door in my face.

I'm so going to get that motherfucker back. Crystal and I headed back downstairs and over to Sptifire's room and opened the door. "Ah, I can tell by the look on your face what the problem is. Come on in you two, you can share my bed. I won't mind, I'm pretty sure you two won't mind either."

"You're not wrong there, now if you'll excuse me..." I said before collapsing on the bed and falling asleep.

What do you think so far? Is it too boring or are being patient for some action? Either way it's only going to get better!
The movie was an adaptation of Harispray, and the song was "The Nicest Kids in Town".
