Chapter 4: 4. Episode 4
Previous ChapterDaniels hit the button; then a spotlight turned on and focused on him
"Welcome!" Daniels said into the mic, "This is the UNSC hotline and we are live!"
"The first question goes like this":
Dear Mr Turner Whats It like being a pony instead of a human?
Whooves smiled, "I'm not a human; I'm a time lord."
"A what-now?" Twilight asked
"Never mind that" Whooves waved it off, "Next question"
N:Hello. I'm Mr. N, and I will be replacing Mr.E. Seems as if he has been...ahem...compromised. But who would blame the person who did it? Anywho, this question is going to Princess Luna: What do you even do? Not trying to be rude, but it seems all you do is give people diabetes with your epic cuteness. But I'm pretty well aware that you are a princess and have royal duties of your own. I would like to know more about them! So how is it in the life of Luna? Yours with tacos Mr. N
"Thy dare say that I do not do much?" Luna demanded, "I am the one who brings the moon and the stars out! What have thou done?"
Daniels facepalmed
"This is a UNSC hotline for god's sake!" Morris exploded, "Why are all the questions like this!?"
You do realize this story is getting reported for breaking the rules, right? You should fix it soon.
The door opened and a young man walked in; his hair was brown and his eyes were odd; they changed from blue to green
He carried in a laptop and sat down; typing
"Who the hay are you?" Twilight asked
He looked up, "Hmm? I'm the author."
"You mean we might get shut down because you're a stubborn brat?" Daniels asked
"Possibly" he smiled, "but in the end this is still like a story; a story with questions."
"And how is that?" Young asked
The young man typed something
The door opened and queen Chrysalis came in
"How does that make sense?" Twilight asked
"It doesn't have to" the Author smiled widely, "I'm the Author; I made it happen."
"Well why?" Harvest asked
"I've gotten plenty of complaints; they think this has no storyline." The Author continued, "But in truth- this is a story that is about you guys being asked UNSC hotline questions."
"So in other words" Daniels caught on, "This whole thing is a story about us on a talk show of sorts?"
The Author snapped and smiled wider than before, "Exactly; this is you guys on a talk show."
"No; we're not going to get reported right?" Young asked
"Not sure" the Author shrugged, "That isn't in my jurisdiction."
"The last question is a bit corrupted on data…" Daniels checked his data pad, "But the basic question is:"
Dear Twilight; I see you have stayed in Ponyville. Humans have been getting to Equestria by magic or falling from the sky; have you seen anything strange?
"Besides a UNSC spaceship in orbit around Equestria?" Twilight thought about it, "No; ask Joseph."
Daniels rolled his eyes, "We're humans; and we got here because of a spell gone wrong that Twilight tried a while ago."
"And that's it" Harvest said, "We hope you enjoyed our talk show because this is a story where we talk about crap!"
"And we'll see you next time!" the Author smiled
