"I WAS ONLY TRYING TO KEEP YOU SAFE, CELESTIA!"... the backstage feud between Twilight & Celestia was still fresh in my mind at lunch. Hoping to rid myself of it for the moment, I focused on a strange poster I saw while heading into the aud that morning. I actually got to speak with my friends in private about it. That was amazing since I was swarmed by ponies congratulating me & there were guards ay EVERY FUCKING door watching me. I knew I was "special", but God, I wasn't Celestia, not even close. I finally found a stairwell that was unprotected to tell them.

"Guys, I found a weird poster by the aud looking for bands to ridicule Celestia. Auditions will be on the 25th.". "What, so you want us to come to the auditions with you?", Silver Stellar/ Ryan Felner asked with his usual skepticism. "Yes, actually... as a band.". "WHAT?!!! NO!!!". I'm surprised no one heard Caramel's shriek. I'm serious, it was THAT loud. "Oh my God, Caramel's being sane for once.", said Fantasia/ Belinda Kramer. "OH MY GOD, THAT WAS MY MOM, NOT ME!", Caramel replied.

It was true: Her mom was declared insane 6 years ago after throwing Holy Bibles & crosses & screaming, "Satan, be gone!" at the top of her lungs to a cop that pulled her over for speeding. They haven't seen each other much since then.

"But still, what happens if Celestia catches you?", Silver asked. "If Celestia catches me, it'll be thanks to Mrs. Paranoid. Besides, I'll have Onyx here be my body double in case I'm needed beside Celestia & T.S.", I answered. 'Why do I have to do it?", Onyx/ Jimmy Garner wailed. "Come on, you're the only one of us who barely comes anyway, so nopony would be suspicious if you weren't there. No offense.", I told him. "Mmmmm... fine.", Onyx murmured under his breath. "Okay, so we'll meet in the library at 11:30 tomorrow to get everything sorted out.".

When we all agreed on the meeting, we all went our separate ways & that's when things started to spiral out of control.


Author's Note

Sorry I didn't clarify this earlier, but there are 6 endings which, sadly, can't be voted on because of the no-poll rule. 4 of them are horrifying, 1 leaves the damage to a minimal, & there's only 1 good ending.
