3) The Glamtronics Ponyville Show

Ponyville - With Springtrap and the Glamtronics

The crowd that formed at the town center for the big concert was massive. Ponies started to bring their own chairs from home in order to fit everyone there. Springtrap would've smiled if his flesh hadn't rotted. That changed when he saw the two Princesses sitting at the front with a cadre of guards around them. Even though they couldn't see him and he lost his desire to kill them, Springtrap still wasn't happy to see them. Taking a breath that reverberated in his rib cage and chest plate, Springtrap walked backstage to join the other Glamtronics.

"Okay, guys, group huddle!" Springtrap said. He hugged them all as he got them in a huddle. "I am so proud of you guys for all of you've accomplished since we met. I know you'll kill it out there."

"We couldn't have done this without you, though, Springtrap," Freddy said. "Without you, we'd still be spirits haunting the pizzeria and Neighsay would still be free."

"Yeah! You gave us these rockin' bods and you put that creep Neighsay in his place!" Monty said.

"And you were our friend, a friend who reunited us with our friend Starlight," Chica said.

"You're the best friend a spirit-possessed animatronic can have," Roxy said. "Besides, we couldn't manage this band without you."

Springtrap held them a bit tighter. He would've cried had his tear ducts not rotted away. He spoke to his friends in a voice that wavered like he was either about to burst out laughing or crying.

"I love you guys. Okay, I'll get the crowd warmed up for you and you come out when I say," Springtrap said. The others gave their confirmation and Springtrap walked out onto the stage. Some of the foals started crying at seeing the wretched state of the older animatronic. A few other ponies turned away and were visibly gagging. Spirngtrap ignored that and tapped the microphone.

"Hello, Ponyville! I am Springtrap, and I am honored to introduce you to my dear friends: The Glamtronics!" Springtrap said as the band walked out on stage to the applause of the crowd. "Being the chivalrous gentleman that I am, we're going to be having the ladies of our band perform first, Roxanne Wolf and Glamrock Chica!"

Springtrap walked off the stage and watched as Roxy approached the stage to the microphone and she began her performance.

The crowd was absolutely wild hearing Roxy's singing and seeing her robotic dancing. Roxy took a bow, and a rose from a stallion in the crowd, and went to the back where Chica took her place at the mic. Chica cleared her throat as Freddy and Monty started beatboxing.

Chica took her own respective bow and Monty took her place with his bass guitar in hand. The next thing anyone knew, he started beatboxing with expert precision. The crowd was enraptured by the robotic alligator.

Freddy took the mic after Monty waved the crowd goodbye and stood with the others. Freddy cleared his throat and started his own song with the crowd going silent.

Everyone was cheering for the big bear as he finished his song. Freddy took a respectful bow as Springtrap turned to speak to Starlight as she stood next to Vanny. Springtrap put a hand on Starlight's shoulder.

"You ready for your performance?" Springtrap said. "It's not too late to back out."

Starlight chuckled. "I'm perfectly fine. I'm just happy that I can perform with my friends. I can do this easily."

Starlight climbed into the Vanny suit as Springtrap closed the opening in the back and zipped up the outer suit. "Vanny" hummed to life as Starlight got a feel for the suit.

"Now you wait here while I introduce you," Springtrap said.

Springtrap walked out onto the stage and took Freddy's place by the microphone. "Alright, folks, I know and appreciate the love you've shown the Glamtronics, but we have a new friend who wants to perform a song of her very own. Introducing our honorary member: Vanny the Bunny!"

Starlight, now Vanny, walked out onto the stage and waved at the audience as they offered a fair amount of cheers her way as she walked over to the mic. Using her new synthesized voice, Vanny spoke in a rather dramatic way.

"Good evening, mares and stallions! Who's ready to rock?!" she called. The crowd responded with a chorus of cheers and clapping. Vanny nodded her head for the others to begin playing.

Springtrap came out clapping along with the audience as Vanny walked over to the other Glamtronics. Springtrap took the mic and spoke in a cheery voice.

"Alright, folks, that was an amazing performance, don't you think?" he asked. The crowd cheered in response as Springtrap continued speaking. "And let's give our dear friend Vanny some love!"

The crowd cheered for Vanny as she took a bow. She hugged Springtrap and joined the rest of the Glamtronics.

"Now we're going to have a fun meet-and-greet with our beloved band to raise money for the animal sanctuary run by the dear Element of Kindness herself, Fluttershy!" Springtrap said. Fluttershy flew up to the stage and gave a shy bow while Springtrap stroked her mane lovingly. Springtrap still found these ponies cute despite being around them a lot.

The band made their way over to a set of tables to greet the children in the audience. Springtrap was watching everything to make sure everything went smoothly. And it did for the most part. Apart from the occasional shoving and screaming fan the whole crowd was pretty well-behaved. Springtrap noticed one of the little fillies accidentally drop her Monty Gator flag on the ground in a mud puddle. Just when she's about to cry, Springtrap rushed over and cleaned off the little flag before handing it back to the little filly. The small thing looked away from him in fear and snatched the flag right out of his hand. He knew that his appearance was terrifying, but now he was truly aware of how he looked to others. Springtrap left and went straight for Twilight, who was standing with the other two princesses. Ignoring his killers/former enemies, Springtrap spoke directly to Twilight.

"Hey, Twilight, can I speak to you for a bit?" he asked.

"Of course, Springtrap. What did you want to talk about?" Twilight replied. Springtrap led Twilight away from the princesses and spoke to her a fair distance away from them and the crowd.

"See, with how busy I've been organizing gigs and performances for the band, I now see that the other ponies are... scared of me," Springtrap said, looking down at himself. "Being an undead being possessing the springlock suit I died in would make me pretty terrifying, huh?"

"Yeah. I gotta admit, even I get a chill down my spine when I see you sometimes," Twilight said.

"That's the thing. I want you to help me actually look... presentable," Springtrap said. Twilight looked at this goofy as if he just sprouted two more heads.

"Uh... isn't your... body... in that suit?"

"Yes... it is. I'll help guide you through the whole thing. I'm not asking for anything too extreme. I just want to change my exo to one that isn't tattered and showing my bones and shriveled organs."

Twilight thought about for bit before she nodded. "Alright, I'll help you with your exo. I just hope I can get through it while seeing your... corpse."

"You'll be fine. Think of it as like... dissecting a frog in biology."

"Actually, I dissected a rat, but I can try regardless."

Springtrap laughed with Twilight as they headed back to tend to the meet-and-greet. They were so distracted by the crowd that they didn't see the tall figure watching them from the shadows of an alley with glowing red eyes.

"I hope you're happy, old friend, because it's about to get really sad around this town really soon," Blackjack said, eyeing the various colts and fillies in the crowd.
