My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Monster Mash-Up Musical

Rapid glimpses show the group racing through different corridors in the castle. Twilight, Sibella, Spike, and Matches; Rainbow Dash and Enid; Rarity and Tanis; Fluttershy and Phantasma; Pinkie Pie and Winnie; Applejack and Elsa; Sunset and Lagoona; Starlight and Galactica; and Trixie and Minimal. They’re all running to where all the hallways meet. Twilight, Sibella, Spike and Matches stop smoothly. But the others accidentally bump into each other. Sunset and Lagoona tumbled over Applejack and Elsa, while Pinkie Pie and Winnie crashed into Fluttershy and Phantasma. Rarity and Tanis bumped into Rainbow Dash and Enid, and Starlight and Galactica found themselves tangled with Trixie and Minimal. Chuckling as they disentangled, each girl helped her partner up.

"Whoops! Sorry about that, darlings," Rarity said with a sheepish grin.

"No worries, Rarity," Enid replied with a chuckle. "We were hoping to find you all close by, but not that close."

"Girls! Any trouble with Sullivan’s henchmen?" Spike asked, concerned. The Rainbooms all nod, followed by the Grimwood Girls.

"I hope you were all able to outsmart them," Matches said.

"Oh, you bet we were!" Trixie said confidently.

"Fangtastic," Sibella chimed in, her fanged smile broadening. "But now that we’re all back together, let’s try to stay toge--" but before she could say it, they suddenly hear footsteps coming from a nearby hallway figure-shaped entryway. "Someone’s coming. Take cover!" she whispered, urgently gesturing for everyone to hide.

They all hide in a nearby hallway entrance. They watch the figure-shaped entrance nervously as a figure walks up to it. He gets even closer, revealing himself to be the middle-aged man from the window. This is George Sullivan himself! The stern-looking man walks up to the figure-shaped entryway, then... hits his head on the side of the head part of it without even looking. He groans as the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls flinch while they watch quietly from their hiding spot. "Ugh! Stupid me-shaped entryway!" he muttered in frustration.

Twilight’s purple eyes widen. "Is that—?" she whispered.

"George Sullivan himself," Sibella confirmed, also whispering.

Sullivan rubs his head, then continues his stride, looking quite impatient. "Where are my henchmen? They should have gotten those Rain-boos by now!"

They watch curiously as Sullivan reaches into his pocket and pulls out... a green-glowing crystal ball. Sunset looks bewildered. "Enid, is that a crystal ball?" she asked, whispering.

Enid nods. "Sure is, Sunset. But that thing used to be a plain old prop. Then suddenly..."

"One day it became magical and he could see anything in it?" Sunset finished.

"Exactly," Enid confirmed.

They all watch as Sullivan looks into his crystal ball. It shows each group of his defeated henchmen: The electrocuted ones in the lab, the ones defeated in Revolta’s lair, the frightened ones from the attic, the ones stuck by Serious String in the gift shop, the ones hypnotized to be monkeys in the treasure room, the ones frozen in ice at the gym, the ones unconscious and covered with colorful cupcake frosting in the food court, the soaking wet ones at the underground lake, and the ones bound by the pipe in the secret storage room. While going through each vision, Sullivan got more and more irritated. "Ugh! Can’t those idiots do anything right?" he snapped.

The Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls watch Sullivan go down another hallway. Twilight looks at the others. "I don’t get it. It’s bad enough that Sullivan criticizes the Rainbooms on the papers, but being a leader of the thugs that tried to take us to him?"

Starlight nods thoughtfully. "Yeah, that does sound a bit… extreme."

Sunset looks toward the hallway Sullivan went through. "Well, we might as well follow him and see what his deal with us is."

Sibella thinks for a minute. "Well, we already got away from his own henchmen, so..." She gazes at the Rainbooms, then her fellow Grimwood Girls. "Sure. Why not? But we better keep quiet."

They all nod in agreement, then step out of their hiding spot to follow Sullivan. As Sullivan travels down the hallway, the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls, far behind, walk behind them. Twilight and Sunset look over to Sibella.

"So, uh, how do you and the Grimwood Girls know so much about Sullivan?" Sunset asked quietly.

Sibella bit her lip, her gaze momentarily shifting away from Sullivan’s retreating figure. "Uh, well, we may have one day sent Enid on an undercover mission to get a cursed object away from him." She admitted. "Let’s just say our cover was blown that day.

Twilight winced sympathetically. "Oof, harsh."

As they turn a corner, they spot a door to an office with Sullivan’s name on the label, open just a crack. They carefully and quietly open the door to reveal Sullivan behind his desk. His back to them and making a burger. As he adds the patty, tomatoes, and pickles, the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls hide behind a large row of file cabinets. Sullivan adds the lettuce and onions. Suddenly, the Rainbooms and Grimwood Girls notice Winnie sniffing as a sneeze begins to build up in her nose.

Fluttershy’s eyes grew round with concern. "Winnie? What’s wrong?" she whispered.

Winnie scrunched her nose, struggling against the tickle. “Don’t be mad. Forgive me, please.,” she started, her voice hitching. “But, dust... you see... It makes... me... sneeze!”

The Grimwood Girls turned in surprise, whispering their concern in unison, while the Rainbooms echoed similar alarm. All eyes were on Winnie, who was visibly losing the battle against her impending sneeze.

"She gonna blow!" Rainbow Dash cried quietly.

Rarity quickly blocks Winnie’s nose with her wrapped finger. Sullivan heard this and turns to the file cabinets. "What was that?" he muttered. Everything is suddenly silent. The Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls look very nervous and anxious. Sullivan squints at his file cabinets, then shrugs. "Must’ve been the wind," he thought. Sullivan continues making his burger. He squirts a little ketchup on it, then puts the sesame seed bun on top. His burger is done. He takes a bite, chews, then swallows. The Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls sigh with relief, then Winnie feels her sneeze building up again. The others try to help, but she quickly sneezes anyway. "AH-CHOO!" she exploded.

"Gesundheit!" Sullivan called out, oblivious.

"Thanks!" Winnie replied from behind the file cabinets. Sullivan’s eyes widen, and so does Winnie’s. They were caught! "Whoops," Winnie muttered.

Sullivan looks around his seemingly empty office "Who said that?"

"Wasn’t me!" Winnie blurted.

"Nope, it wasn’t her!" Pinkie Pie added.

Sullivan gasps. "My file cabinets! They’re... talking?" He was puzzled. "Wait." He picks up his crystal ball and looks into it. It shows the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls behind the cabinets and looking very nervous. Sullivan raises an eyebrow. "Rainbooms, I know you’re back there!"

The Rainbooms come out from behind the file cabinets.

"Uh, hey… Mr. Sullivan," Sunset said with an uneasy chuckle.

"Ah. So we finally meet face-to-face," Sullivan said, his gaze piercing as he studied each of them. "I know it’s you, because being turned into real monsters doesn’t fool me." The Rainbooms look down at their monster forms. "But who else is behind my file cabinets?" The Grimwood Girls come out too, also nervously. "The Grimwood Girls?"

Enid offered a tiny, forced smile. "Uh, hey, Sulley."

"Enid Mettle," he scoffed, folding his arms over his chest. "You got a lot of nerve coming back here."

"Oh, please," Enid shot back, rolling her eyes. "I thought I was the best witch you ever hired."

"You robbed me!" Sullivan said stubbornly.

"You set me up!" Enid retorted, crossing her arms defiantly.

Scoffing, Sullivan turned his attention to Phantasma. "You said you were going on a spiritual retreat!"

"Namaste," Phantasma murmured, bowing with her hands together.

Sullivan only grew more frustrated, turning to Sibella. "And I thought you were sick!"

Sibella shrugs with a faint smile. "I got better?"

Sullivan sighs with annoyance. "Uh, whatever. I still have you where I want you." He goes to his desk and takes a bite from his burger. He chews and swallows.

Applejack shifts uncomfortably. "Uh, you should probably be careful when eating a burger. You might--"

"I don’t need advice from you. Thank you very much," Sullivan boomed.

"How rude," Applejack huffed.

"Oh, have I been waiting a long time for this," Sullivan said, leaning back in his chair with a self-satisfied smirk. "Fallen right into my little trap. I know it was only a matter of ti--"

"Trap?" Twilight interrupted. "It’s not exactly a trap, it’s more like a search and seize--"

"I’ll call it whatever I want, princess!" Sullivan snapped, mocking her title with a sneer.

Twilight gasped. "How rude!" she exclaimed.

"That’s what I said!" Applejack chimed in.

Fluttershy stepped forward, her voice soft and gentle. "Mr. Sullivan, I know you seem a little stressed right now, but talking to my friends like a grouch is the wrong way. I think you--"

"Quiet!" Sullivan bellowed. "I don’t care what you think, you cowardly animal hugger!"

Fluttershy’s eyes went wide, her expression hurt. "Oh… that wasn’t a very nice thing to say," she murmured.

Sunset comforts Fluttershy, the turns to Sullivan. "Look, Mr. Sullivan, what could we have possibly done to make you hate us so much?" she demanded.

Sullivan bangs his fist hard on the table, forcing them to shut up. The Rainbooms and Grimwood Girls are shocked. Sullivan slowly rises from his seat. "I’ll tell you what you did," he growled, his voice low and menacing. The Grimwood Girls look concerned and the Rainbooms look worried as Sullivan glares at them.

In a flashback, some time after My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Dance Magic, Sullivan has his living room set up for a dance party. Back then, Sullivan was the Rainbooms’ biggest fan. As the Rainbooms’ song “Dance Magic” plays in the background, his wife, Martha comes out and sees the colorful decor.

"Voila!" George announced proudly, gesturing to the colorful decor. The room was a kaleidoscope of color, filled with streamers, balloons, and sparkling lights that danced along with the music.

"Whoa! Look at all this stuff. George, you... sure worked hard," Martha replied.

"Thanks, Martha," George said, his voice brimming with excitement. He turned to the dinner table, reaching for a small, wrapped gift. "I got you an early party gift," he added, his face glowing with anticipation.

"Aw, George. How thoughtful," Martha said as she reached out to take the present, but just as she was about to take it, George suddenly halted her.

"Oh! Wait!" he exclaimed, pulling out his phone. "I want to get a video of your reaction," he explained, quickly switching his phone to video mode.

Overlapping speech:
"Hello, viewers!" George announced into the camera with his usual cheerfulness.
"I’m breaking up with you!" she declared, sounding cheerful.

George’s eyes widened in shock. "What?" he asked, bewildered by her unexpected response.

Martha uncomfortably takes the gift. "Thanks?" she said awkwardly. Sullivan gapes, Martha turns back to him. "And the Rainbooms? Grow up, George." With that, she turned on her heel and walked away, leaving George standing there, stunned and speechless.

"Wait! But--" George called after her as he watches her go, then looks over to a table to see a photo of Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy at the Fall Formal. His freaked out gaze goes over to a poster of the Rainbooms, then his terrified gaze goes to the large TV screen showing the dance music video they sang “Dance Magic” in with the Crystal Prep Girls. Then a fast-moving view spins around his screaming face as clips from the dance music video crossfade over him and he lets out a heart-wrenching scream:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Back in the present, Sullivan stands over his desk in his office with a heartbroken gape. The Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls stare at him uncomfortably. Pinkie Pie throws her voice to the others in a sing-songy tone. "Awkward."

"You provided the song of your dance music video with Crystal Prep to my heartbreak!" Sullivan spat. The Rainbooms look worried. Sullivan continued, his voice rising in anger. "And because of my former obsession with you, I lost my dream of becoming a cop!" They all look at each other, wide-eyed. "You see," Sullivan continued, "this is why I said what I said about you in the newspapers. I wanted to show you on the outside how I feel on the inside." His scowl grows ever more bitter. "The only thing that kept me going since that day was my burning thirst for REVENGE!"

The Rainbooms and Grimwood Girls look amused. "Oh, Sullivan, you can’t blame us for the day your wife broke up with you," Sunset said calmly.

"Uh, yes I can!' Sullivan retorted sharply. "That’s how these revenge things work!" He holds up his crystal ball. "And thanks to this, I will be able to keep an eye on you 24/7."

"What?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed.

Spike added, "But we—"

"No 'buts'," Sullivan retorted, rudely cutting Spike off. "You see, I’m an expert finder. I’m all-powerful, I’m all-seeing, and I’m all-knowing!"

"Then you obviously," Rarity said, making finger quotes, "'know' that you just told us your whole story... with your tie in your cup of coffee!"

Sullivan looks down. Rarity was right - his tie is in his coffee. With a grunt of frustration, he quickly pulled it out of the brown liquid, wiping off the remnants of his drink with annoyance. "I will be back in 5 minutes," he declared.

"You also have a little spot of ketchup on your shirt," Pinkie Pie stated.

Sullivan looks down at his shirt. Pinkie Pie was right - there is a little splotch of ketchup from his burger on his shirt. "10 minutes," he replied. He leans threateningly over his desk. "And one more thing. Don't even think about leaving. I have a very particular set of skills. Skills that I have acquired over a very long..."

"You just put your hand on an ink pad," Rainbow Dash interrupted.

Sullivan looks down at his left hand and lifts it up. His palm is covered in black ink. Rainbow Dash was right. "15 minutes," he grumbled. He grunts in fury, then storms out of his office. The Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls watch him leave, utterly shocked.

"Whoa! That guy is the king of Crazy Town!" Starlight exclaimed once he was gone.

"So he hates us because his wife broke up with him because of the dance music video we made to make money for Camp Everfree!" Sunset summarized.

"That’s terrifying!" Trixie added.

"We have got to get you out of here, now!" Sibella said, urgently.

The Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls bolt from Sullivan’s office. 15 minutes later, Sullivan returns to his office with a new tie, a clean shirt, and his hands washed. He finds the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls gone, much to his confusion. He goes to his window and spots the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls at the bottom of the castle’s mountain bellow and getting into the Rainbooms’ tour bus while Minimal gets in her caravan trailer. "Are you kidding me right now?" Sullivan muttered angrily. The tour bus drives off, with the trailer still hitched to its rear bumper. Sullivan glares after them. "No one runs on George Sullivan," he seethes as he leaves his window.

The story continues as Arthur narrates. "Now, the Rainbooms and the Grimwood Girls got out of that castle and were back on their journey to find the Zodiac Stone."

Winston chimed in, his voice curious and concerned. "But, Uncle Arthur, what happened to Henry?"

Arthur continued, unfazed. "He didn’t give up. He was going to find a way to win Sibella’s heart. Whatever it takes."

Henry gets on his motorcycle and starts it up. He puts on his helmet and revs his engine. He drives his bike in the direction the Rainbooms’ tour bus just went.
