Garfield and the Equestria Girls 2: Rainbow Rocks
Chapter 18: A Bad Counter-Spell
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe next morning, the seven MLP girls, Spike, the seven Garfield characters, the six EAH students, and the three Winx and Peanuts characters are at the Sweet Apple Acres, what Garfield told them when he woke up.
SWEET APPLE ACRES 8:30 AM
They are performing one of Twilight's "made-up" songs there, while Garfield and his friends are thinking of the songs they are gonna play. Even the tabby was moonwalking, revealing his Michael Jackson choice for the medleys!
The song goes like this, with Twilight practicing and Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity using their instruments for the song, while Sunset Shimmer and Spike were arranging the sound.
Twilight: Hey, hey, listen, we've got a message for you,
We're not all alike, but our friendship is true,
Yeah, we're really different,
But we still get along, So, hey- hey, listen to our song,
You may think you're in control, But we're here to prove you wrong...
During this song, Twilight was singing embarrassingly when performing/practicing this, and the beat/groove was not working on the five girls, who are bored due to the groove not working. The rest were practicing for their medleys and had so much groove, not to brag. Outside the barnyard, Granny Smith, the lunch lady from CHS walks by and uses apple cores to plug her ears due to the awful music nearby.
Twilight: In the friendship of our music, With the power of our song,
Gonna stomp our feet, clap your hands,
With the magic of friendship, Gonna stop your evil plans!
As the song ends, Twilight was still singing nervously, and the four girls are still bored. Rainbow Dash, who wasn't bored, enjoys the groove, and was nearly getting pony ears, and after the song, she finally recieves them, but when everyone doesn't have their pony ears, wings or hair-extensive tails when Rainbow shows her ears to them, she just frowns and the ears pop like a bubble. It was a bad counter-spell.
Spike then hesitatingly said, "Uh...that sounded better than the...last five times you played it...", chuckling.
Big MacIntosh, the one who met Twilight, Spike, Garfield and his friends in the first film, passes by, outside the barn carrying a basket of apples, saying "N-nope."
Spike frowns and whines.
Right then, Garfield interrupts and sings once again while dancing, wearing a Michael Jackson costume, complete with diamond glove.
Garfield: Yeah! Sing it to the World!
Sing it out loud! WOO-HOO!
He stops while he sees the eight MLP characters looking at him.
"It's my jam.", explains Garfield. "Not to mention being a disco king, however."
As the others come out, Odie, Jon, Liz, Nermal and Arlene were wearing Justin Timberlake, Johnny Cash, Taylor Swift, Adam Levine and Katy Perry costumes respectively as well.
"Oh, my. This is a very awesome costume!", Odie rated, before high-fiving Garfield.
But for the rest of the other 12 characters, they didn't have costumes but they're deciding to.
"I think it's pretty obvious what's going wrong with this counter spell.", Rainbow Dash suspiciously supposes.
Applejack angrily says to Rainbow, "You're turnin' what should be the chorus into a five-minute guitar solo?"
Rainbow Dash excuses angrily, "I have to pick up the slack somehow! Are you guys even trying?", then to everyone.
"I'm trying.", Fluttershy says.
"Yeah, we're trying our best for our medleys too!", agreed Jon, before earning a kiss from Liz in the middle of an argument. "That's more like it."
"It's fine. It'll be fine.", overreacted Twilight, before thinking of doing the song again. "One more time from the top!"
Garfield anticipates, "Oh boy!". The five girls other than Twilight and Sunset doesn't respond to Twilight's last quote. "Oh nuts."
"Or, perhaps we could take a short break; try on some of the wardrobe choices I've put together?", suggested Rarity, getting a dress rack, choosing an outfit.
Nermal then thanks Rarity, saying, "Thanks for the costumes you've got for us. This'll be perfect for our performance!"
"You're welcome. I'm particularly fond of this one.", Rarity answered, getting one of her exampled costumes before shoving the dress rack aside: a pink drum-major jacket. "Uh, of course we could always go with something a bit more modern."
As a matter of fact, Rarity sends the rack to Poppy and Cupid, who they choose their special-like costumes before sending the rack back to the fashionista: Cupid's was a pink full-length prom princess dress and Poppy's was surprisingly a purple tuxedo.
"Awkward, is it?", the auburn-haired girl said to Cupid about the tuxedo she's wearing.
"No. You look beautiful in that tuxedo.", Cupid says to Poppy, encouraging her as she hugs her.
"And you look romantic with that dress.", Poppy replies, also surprisingly kissing Cupid on the cheek.
Arlene whispers to Darling Charming, "What a romantic pair that's happening right now."
"I know, right?", Darling says to Arlene, before Rosabella hugs her too. "It doesn't have to do with me and Rosy."
Applejack continued, "We're trying to save our school here! Enough with the costumes!"
As another camera shot shows Applejack and Rarity, the fashionista is now wearing a Daft Punk-like costume with a head with an electronic display of diamonds scrolling across the screen.
Rarity scoffs and argued in a electronic voice, "You can never have enough costumes!"
The Daft Punk-like costume gives Tecna an idea to choose Daft Punk for their upcoming medleys.
"She just wants to make things fun.", scolded Pinkie, talking to Rarity. "Isn't that what being in a band is supposed to be?", she then says, doing a sting.
"It's about co-operation.", Blondie taught Pinkie Pie. Odie and Ashlynn agree.
"You don't have time for any of this!", Sunset rushed, saying, "You're supposed to check in at the Battle of the Bands in fifteen minutes!"
Everyone but Sunset gasps, and everyone but Twilight and Garfield, latter still wearing his MJ costume, hurries and grabs the instruments and costumes before they go out.
"But...but it's not ready! If we play the counter-spell in the first round and it doesn't work, the Sirens will know what we're up to and make sure we don't get a chance to play it again!", Twilight worries.
"And worse: WE WON'T PLAY OUR MEDLEYS!", Garfield screamed.
Everyone looks at Twilight and Garfield, before they go out. A long pause ensues again.
Applejack calms the two by saying, "Then we'll have to buy ourselves some time so you and Garfield can keep workin' on it."
"And how do you propose we do that?", Rarity asks the country girl curiously.
Rainbow answered for Applejack, "We compete in the Battle of the Bands for real. I take over lead vocals again, and we stay alive until the finals. We unleash the counter-spell then! Garfield and his friends will also do their medleys during the performances as well. You'll have it figured out by the finals, right?", then to Twilight, who is worried.
"Of course, she will. Twilight Sparkle's never met a problem she couldn't solve.", Spike ensured, before asking her if he's right. She agrees nervously with a big grin again.
"Then lets go win us a Battle of the Bands!", cheered Rainbow, before they continue to go back to CHS for the competition. Garfield and Odie then stays for Twilight to catch up.
Twilight looks at Spike just to make sure if everything is sured that it will be okay, and he nodded, giving Twilight confidence. A little confidence.
"I hope this medleys will turn out amazing.", Odie hoped.
"It will, Odie, buddy. Believe me it will.", smiles Garfield, as he, Odie, Twilight and Spike follow their other friends to the school.
