Movie Night

Difficulties

“WHERE THE BUCK IS RAINBOW DASH!?”   Twilight yelled.

       Twilight was sweating like a fat, bearded man at the beach.

       “Calm down, I’m right here.”   Rainbow Dash came out of the train’s bathroom.   “I just had to use the bathroom; I have to go a lot in mornings.”

       “Oh…”   Twilight was cleaning her sweat off the floor with a towel.   “I thought you were not here.”

       “Oh, well next time, please don’t swear really loud.   You should really get some help with your temper.”   Rainbow insisted.

       “Hey!”   Twilight was offended.   “I don’t need help!”

       “Just saying.”   Rainbow sat down.

       “So tell us more about this-here movie we’re going to be in, Twilight.”   Applejack changed the subject.

       “Well, some of the ponies in Equestria are starting to forget what friendship is all about.”   Twilight explained.

       Pinkie gasped loudly, “This will NOT be tolerated!”

       “Pinkie, let me continue.   The Princess sent me a letter telling me about this, and told me that we will be staring in a movie about friend…”   Twilight was cut short by a loud snoring sound.   She was furious.   “RAINBOW!   Wake up!”

       Rainbow Dash was sleeping on her seat.   “You told me to get up early, so I am going to get some sleep until I am fully rested.”   Rainbow continued to sleep.

       “Ugh!”   Twilight was annoyed.

       A few seconds later Rainbow got up, and stretched.   “Okay… I’m fully rested.”

       Twilight stared at her for a second.   “Anyway, we will be starting in a movie about friendship to refresh other pony’s minds about what it means.”

       “Wait!   You said we were making a movie for my animal friends, not other ponies!”   Fluttershy was hiding under her seat.

       “Oh yeah, about that…”   Twilight was sweating again.

       Fluttershy was crying.   “You lied Twilight!”

       “Sorry, I just wanted you to get on the train.”   Twilight apologized.

       The other four ponies watched with blank faces.

       “At least it’s not a live performance.”   Twilight tried to make Fluttershy feel better.

       “It isn’t?”   Fluttershy asked.

       “No, it’s a movie.   You don’t know what a movie is?”  Pinkie asked.

       “No, I never got all of this new technology stuff.”   Fluttershy finished crying.

       “Oh, well all you do is sit in a studio with only us and a camera.”   Pinkie explained.

       “Oh, if that’s all then I’ll be fine.”  Fluttershy was calm again.

       “Okay,”   Twilight said, “any questions?”

       “Will there be zombies, and we have to kill them to save the whole pony race?!”   Rainbow Dash asked in an excited voice.

      “No,”   Twilight said, “It’s about friendship.”

       “Dang it.”   Rainbow sat down.

       “I’ve got one.”   Rarity asked, “What will we be wearing?”

       “Well, I guess we’re just going to be naked.”   Twilight answered, unsure.

       “Any more questions?”   Twilight asked.

       Nopony answered.

       “Okay.”   Twilight didn’t know what to do.

       Suddenly, the train stopped.   There was a loud screeching noise and a couple of screams.   The lights went out, and it was completely silent.   The ponies were all on the ground in a big pile.

       “What just happened?”   Applejack asked.

       “Ouch just happened,”   Rainbow Dash said painfully, “I think I broke my wing.”

       “Oh my gosh,”   Twilight said, “Spike is knocked out-cold.”

       Pinkie let out one of her loud gasps.

       “I’m going to the conductor to see what is going on.”   Twilight said.

       When Twilight got up to the conductor she asked him what was going on.

       “What happened?”   She asked.

       “Well, there are some cattle on the tracks, and we didn’t fell like having bloody wheels on our train, so we stopped.”   The conductor explained.

       “Oh, well I’ll go get Applejack to herd them off the track.”

…

       About ten minutes later, Applejack was done herding the cattle and they were back on track.

       When they finally pulled into the Canterlot station, Twilight looked at the giant clock in the station.

       “WE’RE LATE!”   Twilight screamed, “LET’S GO!”

       Everypony started running towards the movie studio, and Rainbow Dash was flying.   Suddenly, Rainbow Dash crashed to the ground.

       “OOAAAWWOH!”  Rainbow yelled painfully, “My wing!   It’s broken!”

       “Then run!   We have to get there in time!”  Twilight didn’t like to be late.

       Rainbow stayed on the ground.

       “I can’t!   It hurts too much!”   Rainbow was clutching her wing with her life.

       “Fine!   Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, come with me!   Pinkie, Applejack, take Rainbow to the hospital!   And hurry!”   Twilight always had a plan.   “Celestia is going to kill me.”   She said to herself.

…

       Twilight and the others burst in the doors of the studio.

       “We’re here!”   They were gasping for air.

       Celestia was there.

       “Oh you’re here early.”   Celestia said.

       “What?”   Twilight was confused.

       Celestia laughed.   “It was daylight savings this morning.   You’re an hour early.”

       “Oh, thank heavens.”   Rarity was relieved.

       “Where are your other friends Twilight?”   Celestia asked.

       “Rainbow Dash broke her wing and Applejack and Pinkie took her to the hospital.”    Spike explained.

       “I hope she is alright!”   Fluttershy said.

       “That’s horrible!”   Celestia said, “Let’s go check on her; we have time.”

…

       When they got to the hospital, they asked the nurse for Rainbow Dash, and she told them she was in room 313.   Once they got there, Pinkie and Applejack were sitting aside her bed.   Rainbow Dash was sleeping.

       “Oh, hey guys!”   Pinkie said, “Good news!”

       “What?”   Fluttershy asked.

       “Her wing is not broken!   It’s just sprained.”   Pinkie exclaimed.

       “She should recover in a couple of days.”   Applejack said.

       “But what about the movie?”   Twilight asked.

       “It’s fine.  We can wait for a couple of days.”   Celestia said.

       “Okay.”   Twilight was calm again.

       The nurse came in and told them Rainbow Dash needed some rest.   They all left and went to the castle.   Celestia gave all of them a room to stay for the month that they were making the movie.   Celestia gave all of them scripts for them to read while they were waiting for Rainbow Dash to heal.   Celestia even gave Rainbow one at the hospital.   She didn’t like that she had to sing, but she couldn’t do anything about it.
