The audience stomps in applause as the lights became dark again and the curtain draws open, revealing a forest set. Pinkie as Plucky goes all spy mode, sneaking around then spots Twilight and Flash sleeping.

"Okay, Oberon said there was a stallion who did not love a mare, but the mare loves him. So by using the flower on him, he will! And there they are!" she tiptoes Pinkie-style, then ducks in the bushes, lifting her head in a creepy way then she got close to Flash, sprinkling the pollen on him then moves away snickering. "My work here is done." in a puff of smoke she was gone.

Blueblood and Rarity appear in front of the stage not noticing Flash and Twilight nearby.

"Can we please give up this wild chase?!" complained Rarity, "They've long gone by now, I'm sure!"

"You can, but I will go fore! Either you stay here or go back home, it's your choice as long as you're far away from me!" sounding like he meant it too, since he remember Rarity going berserk in real life, he left in a haste.

"Why, I never!" she shouts at him, then sees behind her Flash and Twilight. "Oh! There's Lysander. I must warn him and Hermia to get away before Demetrius comes back!" She shakes Flash awake, "Wake up, Lysander! You must get out of here!"

Flash groans and sees before him a beautiful sight, "Helena?"

"Yes, good sir, it is I, now you must leave here at once, Demetrius will-"

"But why would I want to leave a sight as lovely as you are?"

"Well, how flattering of you to say, but Demetrius-"

"Has no say! Of how we feel…"

"Yes, he has his eye on your Hermia, but if you would just-"

"Hermia? Why would I feel for Hermia while I have feelings for you?"

"Wait… What?! How dare you turn your back on the one you love!"

"But I love you, how is that turning my back?"

"Lysander, you are not you, you would never think of me as more beautiful than Hermia, though we are quite equal in beauty… Still! Something has happened to you!" she quickly rushes off.

"Wait for me, my love!" he rushes after her.

Twilight moans and groans, she slowly woke up, "Lysander… I had the most awful nightmare about you… You were gone and I…" She sees that he really is gone. "Lysander? Lysander?! Where are you?!"

The lights went dark, and then came up showing Spike walking through the woods. The acting troupe was right behind him, ducking between trees and shrubs. Most of those times, Spike would feel something following him and would look back only find nothing. When really the group would be in ridiculous positions in their hiding places, the CMC would stand on top of each other behind a tree. Rainbow had to jump into a pond, peeking her head out of water with a lily on top of her head. And Apple Jack couched in the shrubs, but when she did, a thorn poked her bottom, jumping out while yelling, "Ye-ouch!"

"Petra Quince?! What are you doing here?!" demanded Spike, seeing her.

"Uh…" she was stuck for words.

"Are you spying on me?!"

"No! That is…"

"You think I can't do this on my own!"

"Don't be upset with her, Nick Bottom…" came out Apple Bloom and the rest did the same.

"We all thought you can't do it on your own…" said Scootaloo.

"Am I not a worthy player in this troupe?" he asks with a heavy heart.

"Don't say that! Of course you are…" answered Apple Jack.

"Then why must you follow me?"

"We just wanted to make sure you don't get into something that you'll regret." explained Rainbow Dash.

"Well, thanks for all your concern, but I can handle myself! I don't need your help!"

"But… don't you think…" Apple Jack holds his claw; she felt unsure why she did that, "At least one of us should go with you?"

Spike slightly blushes to her gesture then remembering his lines, "No, I have to this alone, without any distractions." gently pushing the hoof away.

"You take care, then… Meet us at the cottage tomorrow night."

"I will, Petra Quince. I will."

The group slowly moved away, while AJ did a glance back then she moved on. Unknowing that Spike did the same, and looked at his claw. Once the group had gotten off stage, the lights dimmed a little making the forest spooky and dark. Spike pretended to be grappling in fear. As he look around in fright, Pinkie appears jumping up and down happily, humming and not giving heed to the scary woods. Then she bumps into Spike.

"Oh, hello, stranger!"

"Ahhh!" Spike screamed and fainted.

"Oopsie… Hmm… You know, my mistress is resting nearby. Perhaps she'll know what to do with this dragon." She lifts Spike on her back and the lights go off for a second.

Fluttershy repositioned herself from the last act, sleeping soundly next to the lake. Pinkie then came galloping up.

"Queen Titania!"

"Huh?" Fluttershy slowly woke, "Plucky?" wiping her eyes, "What is it?" then sees clearly of the dragon on her back. "Oh, my goodness!" taking the dragon by her side, "Where did you find him?"

"Not far from here. He was wandering the woods."

"He is very cute, isn't he?"

"If you say so! I have to get going, so good luck!" she goes in a puff of smoke once more.

Spike stirs and wakes with half eyes open, "Wha… What happen?"

"Fear not, for you are safe now…" Fluttershy cooed.

"Whoa…" his eyes widen, "What are you?"

"I am Titania, queen of the fairies. Awake, my subjects. We have a guest." she calls on the sleeping Breezies. The Breezies flew up and surrounded Spike as if examining him. "Pray tell, what is your name?"

"Nick Bottom, Your Highness."

"Well, Nick Bottom, you shall stay here under my protection. My fairies shall serve you in the meantime."

"Aw, thank you. I think I'm going to like it here." he takes a load off.

The lights go out again, and then come on showing a clearing in the wood as Discord is pacing back and forth, then Pinkie shows up in a poof.

"You're late! Where've you been?" he demands.

"Apologies, mighty Oberon, but merely what you were instructing, first I found a creature for the lady Titania to fall in love with…"

"Good! And was it an unearthly creature?"

"You mean besides you?" gives a quick laugh until he stare her down, "Yes. And second, I found the stallion that wasn't in love with the mare. The pollen has been sprinkled on his eyes."

"Excellent! You have served your master well, Plucky."

"Does that mean I get a raise?"

"Don't push your luck."

"Aw nuts…"

Discord's ears perk up, picking up an incoming sound, "Get down!" pushing Pinkie into the bushes and he jumps in, then they watch Twilight and Blueblood come on. "Ah, there's the stallion."

"It is the mare, but not the stallion." Pinkie replied.

"Say what now?"

She shushes him so they could listen to the conversation.

"I'm so glad I found you!" Blueblood exclaimed, "When I heard Lysander kidnapped you-"

"Lysander did not kidnap me! I ran away with him of my own free will!"

"Then he tricked you! He stole you away from me! When he knew you were to wed to me!"

"How many times must we go through this? I don't love you! I never had!"

"Hermia, Hermia…" he lifts Twilight's chin, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, "Our love will grow… as long as you accept me as your husband…" giving a genuine smile and he presses their cheeks together. Twilight gives a confused look, as this was not the way they rehearse it.

On the left of the stage, Rarity and Flash notices the same thing, giving troubled looks. Cadence and Shining Armor came up to them giving the same look.

"Wow, I didn't think he'd be so bold to do this…" said Cadence.

"If he wasn't under the stewardship of Princess Celestia…" Shining gritted his teeth.

"Wha… What is going on?" questions Rarity.

Cadence explained, "Prince Blueblood has his interests on Twilight, because he believes he should marry her since she is a princess and he's a prince."

"Why… that horrid prince!" gasped Rarity.

"But… Twilight has no feelings for him, does she?" asks Flash in worry.

"Absolutely not!" answer Rarity, "Not after I told her everything about him since I was with him at the Grand Galloping Gala!"

"Flash," spoke Cadence, "by the next intermission, I want you to guard Twilight at all times, keeping her away from Blueblood."

"With pleasure, Your Highness."

Back on stage, Discord smacks his face, turning to Pinkie, "That was the wrong pony! Now you have to fix this! Find the other mare and stallion and bring them here! Together, they will be returned to their rightful loves…"

"You got it!" she salutes and takes out another smoke bomb, because he was closer to it this time, Discord coughed, not seeing anything and tripped, landing on the stage floor causing his back to hurt. He had to crawl off the stage.

Twilight pushed Blueblood away, "No! I'll never accept you as my husband!" she runs off the stage. Not watching where she was going, she topples over Flash. Their gazes met, and they slightly blush. "Oh, Flash! I'm sorry!" she gets off of him.

"It's okay, I'm more worried about you, you okay?"

"I have no idea why Blueblood did that… We didn't rehearse it like that."

"I know why…" said Cadence then she quickly whispers in Twilight's ear which causes her eyes to widen.

"You mean…?"

Rarity and Cadence nodded.

"Well… I have to worry about it later, right now we have a play to finish!"

"Which means we must get going." Rarity said to Flash.

"Sure you're going to be alright?" he quickly asks her.

"Yes… Are we still up for our date?"

"As long as you're up to it."

"I am…" they give each loving glances, then he went on stage.

Blueblood pretends to sleep while Rarity comes on, followed by Flash like a puppy dog.

"I love you more than life itself!"

"How sweet…" she said unsure.

Pinkie watches from the bushes, "Ooh! That must be the mare my master talked about!" she quickly pokes the flower through the hedge, sprinkling its pollen on Blueblood.

Rarity spots Blueblood, "There's Demetrius, if you do love me instead of Hermia then you must tell him." she pokes him with her horn.

"Ow!" he jumps and gives a grimace then composes himself, "Why… it is an angel in my sight." he slightly overacts.

"Demetrius?"

"I was blind! To not see the real beauty before me! Helena! Do forgive me for not seeing it sooner!"

"Demetrius… I…"

"Hey! I saw her first!" yelled Flash.

"Well, she loves me!" taking Rarity's hoof while Flash took the other, both started tugging.

"What is going on here?! Boys!" she shouts as the curtain closes.
