Chapters The Rocky Horror Pony Show
The late night double feature picture show
When it comes to the night, you'd usually expect people having a night on the town or doing some last minute shopping for an anniversary they remembered at the last minute.
But this wasn't the case here, for a long line of ponies, griffons, hippogriffs, and other creatures were lined up in front of the largest theater in equestria, waiting for tonight's midnight movie. Some carried an odd assortment of things instead of the usual food and drinks they'd sneak in, others wore rather odd costumes, sometimes it would be both.
"I can't wait for the show to begin." Pinkie Pie said to her friends.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time." Said Zephyr Breeze, not trying to flirt with Rainbow Dash for once, which was a relief.
"I hope the kids are OK being home alone." Mr. Cake said to his wife, who gave him a pat on the back, as long as they got what they came for, it would be worth it.
"It's almost showtime, brace yourselves!"
Inside the theater, the employees scattered about, doing this and that to get ready for the impending swarm of fans that gathered here today.
Among these employees was the "great and powerful Trixie", she would work at the theater on weekends when she wasn't touring or working at the school of friendship.
She was walking around the theater, making sure that everything was in order before the show began, all the awhile singing to herself.

Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong They got caught in a celluloid jam Then at a deadly pace it came from outerspace And this is how the message ran
She shot one last look at the theater, knowing that a huge mess would befall the place. Everything seemed to be perfect.

Near the second verse, the doors opened, and the lobby was immediately swamped with eager fans, some bought food and drinks, while others pushed and shoved their way into the theater trying to get the best seats for the show.
Thankfully, Trixie didn't get caught in the sea of fans. Thanks to her magic, she was able to levitate herself above the crowd.

Dana Andrews said prunes give him the runes And passing them used lots of skills And when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills
She proceeded to float all the way to a door that read "EMPLOYEES ONLY", and walked in, for that was her job, projecting the movie of the week, or this case midnight, to the audience.

She locked the door behind her, and proceeded to make her way to the projection booth.

When she reached the booth, she looked through the reels that were lined up on a shelf.

She found the reel she was looking for, and proceeded to set everything up perfectly, it had to be if the show was to be for the audience's liking.

When she finished, Trixie looked out at the crowd to make sure evey creature was seated before she could start the film, sure enough they were chatting amongst themselves. She looked at her watch, it was going to be midnight in 5... 4... 3... 2...
The sound of a grandfather clock tolling resounded throughout the theater, and every creature immediately went silent.
For the show was about to begin.

Author's Note
I should point out that some of the cast in the show are not from the original series. But rather from shows like Hazbin Hotel, 101 Dalmatian Street, Family Guy, and Johnny Bravo.
Also if you've seen rocky horror in theaters or watched the stage production, you should know what to do in the comments.

The Wedding
Church bells rang as the new bride and groom left the chapel along with their guests. Bits of confetti flew in the air as the group gathered round for a photo. Photo Finish stood in front saying how beautiful the shot was.
Rumble turned towards Button Mash as they walked away from the crowd.
“Well I finally did it!” He said bumping his friend on the shoulder.
“Oh come on, we all knew it was going to happen, you and Scootaloo have been inseparable since you met in Doctor Whooves’ refresher classes.”
“Well to tell you the truth Button, she was the only reason I went in the first place.” Rumble said chuckling.
Suddenly a high pitched squeal came from behind as the bride announced she was going to throw her bouquet. All the mares held their hooves in the air as the bride turned and threw the flowers behind. The flowers soared through the air before landing in Sweetie Belle's hooves.
“I got it! I got it!” She cheered holding the flowers jumping up and down. Rumble watched with an amused smile on his face.
“hey, hey, looks like it could be your turn next.” He said chuckling. Button looked down nervously.
“Yeah.. hehe, who knows, it could be.” Rumble turned as a car pulled up beside with the words ‘WAIT TILL TONITE’ painted along the side in white. Button raised a fore hoof underneath his muzzle in thought as Rumble got into the car. The car pulled away with the crowd following behind cheering. Button waved as it drove off.
“Oh Button wasn’t it wonderful? Didn’t the bride look radiantly beautiful? Oh I can’t believe an hour ago she was just plain old Scootaloo but now… Now she’s a happily married pegasus.” Cadence said.
The two proceeded to walk through the neighboring cemetery, “Yes Sweetie Belle, Rumble’s a lucky guy.”
“Yes.”
“And everyone else knows that Rumble is a wonderful little cook.”
“Yes.”
“Why, I bet Rumble will be running a restaurant himself pretty soon.”
“Yes.”
While they were walking something came to his mind, a thought that had been made through his chat with Rumble. And decided "now's the time."
https://m .
"Hey, Sweetie Belle."
Sweetie turned to him, "Yes Button?"
Button knew there was no turning back now "I really love the skillful way, you beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet."
Sweetie Belle giggled sweetly at this, but it was clear he wasn't finished. nearby Maud and Mudbriar watched with their signature unamused looks on their faces.
The river was deep but I swam it (Janet) The future is ours so let's plan it (Janet) So please don't tell me to can it (Janet) I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you
Sweetie Belle was honestly feeling giddy about this. She had no idea why he was singing, but she brushed it off, since it was a common thing in their hometown.
The road was long but I ran it (Janet) There's a fire in my heart and you fan it (Janet) If there's one fool for you then I am it (Janet) I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you
Button knelt down and pulled out something that made her gasp.
Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker There's three ways that love can grow That's good, bad or mediocre Oh J-A-N-E-T I love you so
Sweetie Belle was so happy about this, she found herself singing along.
Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had (oh Brad) (oh Brad) (oh Brad)
Now it was Button's turn to be happy, he was about to be married to the one girl he loved since he met her.
Oh, BradOh, dammit Oh, Janet I love you too
The two made their way to Button's minivan, after all...
There's one thing left to doand that's go see the man who began it (Janet) When we met in his science exam-it (Janet) Made me give you the eye and then panic (Janet) Now I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you
They got in and drove off, eager to meet their old friend before they can tie the knot.
Dammit, Janet Dammit Janet
Shining Armor was in what appears to be his office, looking at the wedding’s group photo. He suddenly looks up and says “I would like, if I may… To take you on a strange journey.”
He gets to his hooves before walking over to a tall bookshelf and pulling out a black leather tome with gold embroidery. He opens it, then starts leafing through the pages before reaching one with Button's face on it. On the opposite page was a yellow document with the word ‘STATEMENT’ written at the top. a similar set of pages was one the other side but with a picture of Sweetie Belle.
“It seemed a very ordinary night when Button Mash and his fiancée Sweetie Belle, two young ordinary healthy ponies, left Ponyville one late November evening, to visit a Derpy and Doctor Whooves ex tutors, now friends to the both of them.” He finishes turning the page showing another picture of a brown earth pony and a gray cross-eyed pegasus and outside of what appeared to be a blue police box.
“It’s true there were dark storm clouds… Heavy, black and perilous toward which they were traveling. It’s true also that the spare wheel for their minivan was badly in need of repair. But them being normal kids, and on a night out… Well, they weren’t going to let a storm spoil the events of their evening. It was a night out."
His face suddenly turn into that of seriousness.
"It was a night they were going to remember for a very Long Time."

The Light At The Frankenstein Place
Button Mash and Sweetie Belle sat in their car. Shining drove as Cadence read the newspaper and the radio played softly in the background as Princess Celestia delivered a speech. Rain was falling heavily and the wipers had to be on maximum for Button to be able to see clearly.
Suddenly a loud roar was heard and a motorcycle sped past.
“Gosh, that’s the third motorcycle we’ve seen tonight! Some must really like to take their lives into their hands what with the weather.” Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
“Yes, life’s pretty cheap for that type.” Button said cynically. Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, before noticing that the car was slowing down, “What’s wrong?” She asked.
“We must have taken a wrong turning at some point.” He replied, gesturing towards the dead end sign in-front of the car.
“Well where did that motorcycle come from then?” Sweetie Belle. Button shrugged in response.
“Hm, well I guess we’ll just have to turn back.” He said, shifting the carriage into reverse. The carriage moved back a few feet before a loud, ear piercing bang was heard. Sweetie Belle jumped in shock as Button moved a fore hoof in front of her protectively. "What was that bang?!” she exclaimed.
“Must have broken a spoke.” Button reasoned. He hit the steering wheel. “Damn it I knew I should have gotten that spare wheel fixed.” He turned to get out. “You just stay here in the warm and I’ll go look for some help.” He told her.
“Where will you go in the middle of no-where?” Sweetie Belle asked. Button pondered for a minuet sticking his tongue out in thought.
“Didn’t we pass a castle a few miles back?” he asked rhetorically. Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to respond before Button spoke. “Maybe they have a telephone we could use!” Sweetie Belle moved to get out.
“I’m coming with you.” She said firmly. Button put a forehoof on her shoulder.
“Oh come on now, there’s no sense in both of us getting wet.” He reasoned.
“I’m coming with you!” she demanded again. Button sighed in defeat powering down the car “Besides,
As they approached the castle, the pair was met with a tall spiked iron gate. On it was a white sign with the words ‘Enter at your own risk!!’ painted on it. The two looked at each other, shrugging as they squeezed through the gate.

In the velvet darkness
The two continued walking down the path, until they finally saw the very building they were looking for.
There's a light
The couple approached the castle, praying to Celestia that they have a telephone inside. And if not, they could seek shelter from the storm.
Unbeknownst to them, in the room where the light was coming from, there was a male dalmatian watching them with intent.
The darkness must go Down the river Of nights dreaming Flow Morphia slow Let the sun and light comes streaming Into my life, into my life
Seeing the two ponies approach the front door the dalmatian walked out of the room to perform his usual duty.
There's a light
Shining Armour was now in a room with maps, with the one he was currently looking at marking where the carriage broke down, where the castle was and where Dr. Whooves and Derpy lived.
“It seemed that fortune had smiled on Button Mash and Sweetie Belle that they had found the assistance that their plight required… or had they?”

Get your dancing shoes ready people, it's time to do the Time Warp again!
And I'm sorry if it feels rushed in some places, I wanted to get this done before Halloween ended.

The Time Warp
Button and Sweetie stood in-front of the grand oak doors of the castle.
“Oh Button, please, let’s go back, I’m cold and I’m frightened.” Sweetie Belle pleaded, panting.
“Just a moment Sweetie, they may have a phone.” Button said, as he pushed a button next to the door making a strange tinkle. Button smiled at Sweetie as the door creaked open. The Dalmatian who had been watching them from the window stuck his head out of the door.
“Hello.” He said in a strange voice almost as if he was gagging as he spoke.
“Hi, my name’s Button Mash.” The stallion looked at the hoof. Button looked at him before pulling Sweetie Belle towards him. “Uh, this is my fiancé, Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle smiled wanly at him. “I was wondering if you might help us? You see, our car broke down a few miles up the road. Do you have a phone we might use?”
The stallion continued to stare. "You’re wet.” He stated.
“Yes… It’s raining.” Sweetie Belle replied looking up at her husband. For the umpteenth time that evening lightning flashed across the sky.
“Yes.” The Dalmatian said, dragging out the word. “I think perhaps you better both…come inside.” He opened the door wider for them to come in.
“You’re too kind.” Sweetie Belle said before looking at Button in a “why the hell are we doing this” way. When they were inside, the pair shook their bodies to try and shake off the rain. They looked at the foyer in which they were standing. Dust and cobwebs were strewn everywhere. An ornately carved staircase was at the right side of the room.
“Button I’m frightened! What kind of place is this?”
“Uh it’s probably some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdo’s.” Button informed Sweetie Belle who nodded as if this explained everything. The Dalmatian shut the door behind them with a click. The pair turned to look at him.
“This way.” he told them leading them through the house. Muffled cheering could be heard as the group walked through the building.
“Are you having a party?” Sweetie Belle asked. The Dalmatian turned to face them.
“You’ve arrived on a rather special night. It’s one of the master’s affairs.” He informed her.
“Oh… lucky him.” Sweetie Belle replied. Next to her, a female dalmatian turned to her before exclaiming.
“You’re lucky! He’s lucky! I’m lucky! We’re all lucky! Ha ha ha!” She yelled manically as she swung her legs over the stair banister and sliding down. She threw her feather duster to the stallion as a clock bell rang one…two…three…four…five…six…seven times. The male dalmatian swung open the door of a coffin with a skeleton inside. At the top was a hole with a clock mechanism. Next to the clock was a painting of a balding stallion and an aging, grey maned mare. In the background an electric guitar played a heavy beat.
https://m .
It's astounding Time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely Not for very much longer I've got to keep control
The male dalmatian began leading the group to another room, singing as he did so.
I remember doing the Time Warp Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me And the void would be calling
When they entered the room, they were met with the sight of several ponies, dragons, griffins, demons, sinners, hellhounds, and other assorted creatures, all dancing and singing.
Let's do the Time Warp again
Shining Armour was then shown in a dance studio, standing next to a board with dance instructions.
It's just a jump to the left
Everybody jumped to the left
And then a step to the right
Those that could stand on two legs put their hands on their hips.
You bring your knees in tight
Let's do the Time Warp again
The female dalmatian soon joined the fray, grabbing a nearby mic from the stage.
It's so dreamy Oh, fantasy free me So you can't see me No, not at all In another dimension With voyeuristic intention Well-secluded I see all
The male dalmatian soon joined her on the stage, with a mic of his own.
With a bit of a mind flip You're into the time slip And nothing can ever be the same You're spaced out on sensation Like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again
Also attending this party was what appeared to be a high school girl named Meg Griffin, wearing a glittery outfit and tap shoes.
Well, I was walking down the street just a-having a think
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left
Med took this opportunity to perform a tap routine she'd been perfecting for this occasion. unfortunately when fell flat on her butt, nobody applauded her, rather they seemed to be preoccupied with wrapping this number up.
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left
At the songs conclusion, everyone collapsed to the floor, exhausted from all the partying. For a moment, all was silent, until Sweetie Belle broke the silence.
“Say something.” Sweetie Belle told her husband to be.
“Say! Do any of you guys know how to Maredison?” Button asked enthusiastically. Sweetie Belle groaned in response as all of the dancers got up off the floor chuckling.
“Button please, Let’s get out of here.” Sweetie Belle pleaded.
“For Celestia’s sake Sweetie, keep a grip on yourself.”
“But it seems unhealthy here.”
Whilst the pair were bickering the dancers looked behind them as the elevator behind them slowly lowered behind the opened doors to the dance room. In the background, a subtle drum beat could be heard and a pair of high heels tapped along to the beat.
“It’s just a party Sweetie.”
“Well I wanna go!”
“Well we can’t go anywhere till I get to a phone!”
“Well ask the butler or someone.”
“Just a moment Sweetie we don’t want to interfere with their celebrations.”
“This isn’t the junior chamber of commerce Button.”
“They’re probably foreigners with way’s different from our own they may do some more…folk dancing.” The dancers chuckled at Button’s statement.
“Look I’m cold! I’m wet! And I’m just plain scared!” Sweetie Belle cried hysterically.
“I’m here. There’s nothing to worry about.” Button told Sweetie Belle reassuringly. Sweetie Belle turnrd around and came face to face with a certain spider demon who wore what appeared to be a lab coat. Sweetie Belle screamed and fainted as Button caught her, while he stared at the spider demon in shock. The spider demon simply smiled at the couple as he opened the elevator doors.
https://m .
How d'you do, I
The spider demon stepped out of elevator, making his way across the floor to the stage.
Don't get strung out by the way that I look
Without warning, he took off his lab coat, revealing a corset and fishnet stockings underneath.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
Let me show you around, maybe play you a sound
The spider demon stepped off the stage and onto the dance floor. Button took this opportunity to try to talk to who he assumed to be the owner of the castle.
"I'm glad we caught you at home
The spider demon didn't seem to hear them. At least, until he turned to face the couple.
Well, you got caught with a flat, well, how about that?
He made his way back to the stage, where a chair was now placed, with the Dalmatians on both sides, and Meg behind it.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
Without getting up from his chair, the demon leaned closer to his guests.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
He soon got up from the chair and made his way back to the elevator.
Hit it, hit it, I'm just a sweet transvestite (sweet transvestite)
He turned back to face the couple with an inciting offer.
So, come up to the lab
There was a long pause
-Pation
The spider demon closed the elevator doors, as it ascended back up to what one would assume to be the lab.
Everybody applauded the performance, save for the two confused ponies. If it was clear before it certainly was apparent now: this was going to be one heck of a night for the both of them.
