It's time; it's the first official night of the showing of the House of Pony, a club where everyone from Equestria on TV or fan-fictions can hang out. The place was of course thought up by Princess Celestia herself who gave the task of running the place to her faithful student Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

As Twilight gets ready, her assistant dragon Spike goes to the audience while exclaiming, "All right, ponies, humans and whatever you are! Keep your arms, legs, hooves, wings and what you got inside the ride at all times! Here's Twilight Sparkle!"

The audience applauds as Twilight appears in the spotlight on stage, the pony exclaims, "Hey there, everypony! Good to see you!" Indeed, a lot of folks from the My Little Pony franchise on TV, movies and fan-fictions are there, even those who haven't shown up in JusSonic's fanfiction is there, sitting around.

A couple of Bushwoolies applaud while Fluttershy's animal friends were serving some meals. Twilight smiles while saying, "Yes, welcome to the house!" The Princess Ponies applaud. We even see Little Strongheart applauding while Sting steals her food, unknown to the buffalo. "This is our first show...hopefully it's one that we will never forget!"

Of course the power went out, making Twilight frowns while saying, "Unless you count our electric bill."

Backstage, Twilight's love Ben Mate speaks into his headset, "Applejack? Can you fix the lights?"

"No problem!' Applejack remarks in the control booth. She goes to a dark area while calling out, "Hey, uh, Derpy? Mind moving aside? Yer're in 'de way."

"Oh sorry," Derpy Hooves apologizes as she move off aside to allow some light in the club again.

Once the lights are restored, Twilight grins while saying, "Whoa! Amazing, looks like we got a good audience, even the Transformers are here!"

Sure enough, the Autobots are in the crowd at a table, hanging out at the club since they're scheduled to be in JusSonic's upcoming MLP/Transformers crossover. Pinkie bounces over while asking, "Okie dokie lokie, which one of you Autobots got the microchips?"

"Pick a bot, it could be any of us." Bumblebee said to Pinkie with a shrug.

"All right, first off, I like to remind the guests of the House of Pony rules set forth by Princess Celestia herself." Twilight said sternly, "First off, no smoking allowed unless you're making a fire or on fire!"

At a table, Discord frowns as he put out a fire that he made. Twilight adds, "Second, no villainous schemes whatsoever!" We see Twilight Moon and Spikezilla about to attack Dinky Doo but frowns upon hearing what the unicorn has said, "And finally, no guests eating the other guests."

We see Dexter frowning as he hits Swiper the Fox, causing him to hit Angel right onto a table. The bunny frowns as he walks away in annoyance.

-----------------

Outside, Twilight's brother Shining Armor is watching the guests go in. Suddenly the unicorn yelps as the ground begins to shake. He recovers and saw a huge cave appearing from the ground which a familiar unicorn villain came out of: Smaug, Trixie Lulamoon's father and the leader of the Apocalypse Ponies, once he is shown that is.

Smaug, having thoughts on his mind, gave the 'keys' to the cave to Shining, remarking, "Park it and make sure you don't lose it", while passing by.

------------------

Inside the lobby, Prince Blueblood was flirting with Rarity, much to her annoyance as well as Spike who is there hanging near his favorite unicorn. Rainbow yelps as the G3 version of herself shakes her hoof happily.

Crarity meanwhile goes up to a mirror which Anubus appears to be living in. She is abotu to spoke when the cloud demon remarks dryly, "Give it up, everypony's fairer than you are."

As Smaug walks by Crarity, the unicorn goes over to Rainbow. The Pegasus pony smiled while shaking the villain's hand, saying, "Yo, Smaugie! Welcome to my 20% awesome club!"

"Smaug, sorry, but you don't have a reservation." Rarity said to Smaug with a frown on her face.

Smaug frowns as he make a saber blade appears out of his hoof, pointing it at Rarity while scowling, "Well, my saber blade said otherwise! I do have a reservation!" Seeing the pointing end made the white unicorn a bit nervous.

"Well, what do you know; you do have one! Sure, go right ahead!"

"Good."

Smaug, satisfied, goes into the club. Spike frowns while snapping, "Everytime he does that!"

------------------

Twilight continuing as he spoke up, "Okay, who else do we have? Oh yes, we got my ancestor Twilight, Buttons and Slugger...oh, and even Breezies too! Hey! There's Pinkamena Diane Pie! Creepy but thanks for coming.

Pinkamena waves to the crowd while Golden Heart smiles a bit.

-----------

Rainbow was watching Twilight from the club's entrance. The Pegasus pony groans while saying, "Ugh, show off."

"Is something the matter, Rainbow?" Rarity asks Rainbow puzzled.

"You betcha; How come Twilight Sparkle gets to run things; I am the number one best Pegasus pony in Ponyville, 20% awesome and all that! I should be up there, not that unicorn with an ego!"

"To be honest, Rainbow, you have an ego yourself as demonstrated during the moments with the Mare Do Well. Anyway, the princess is the one who put Twilight in charge of hosting. No worries, darling. You will get your chance someday."

"Ha! Only if something bad happens today." Rainbow groans a bit to Rarity.

----------------

Twilight continues on while speaking on stage, "So get ready for a good one time, my little ponies and friends! We got some interesting cartoons as well as our famous House of Pony band, the Cutie Mark Peas!"

Sure enough, we see the Cutie Mark Crusaders Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo wearing the same suits as their time in the Talent Show, performing for the audience. Once their dance number, which shall be the same dance every week, is done, the audience applauds.

For a moment, it looks like everything is going to be fine tonight.

--------------------

Suddenly Rainbow and Rarity looks startled as the doors of the club open up as two fillies came in. One of them is has a pink coat, violet and white strip mane and tail with light-blue eyes, worn a tiara on her head and also had one on her flank, who goes by the name Diamond Tiara, one of the Snotty Duo.

The other filly has a dark grey coat, grey mane and tail and purple eyes with a light-blue pair of glasses, wears a pearl necklace and a pink hair band around her mane tied into a pigtail, and has a silver spoon with a pink center piece on her flank, who goes by the name Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara's best friend.

"Okay, move it losers, stand aside!" Diamond Tiara snaps as she push aside Rainbow somehow. The filly got business.

"Right, Diamond Tiara and I got business here." Silver Spoon said in agreement.

"What are you doing? You two need a reservation!" Rarity protests to the Snotty Duo in annoyance. Something's wrong here.

-----------

In the backstage area, Twilight looks worried, in fact, she is twitching. The unicorn spoke to Ben, "Ben, every pony, on TV or otherwise, is out there! I don't know why the princess chose me for this task. I don't think I could take it!"

"Twilight, relax. Mom knows what she's doing. Would you like to drink apple cider and read a book?" Ben asks his love with a smile while kissing Twilight on the cheek.

Twilight smiles a bit as she took a mug of apple cider and drank it while reading a book. The unicorn felt relax especially since Ben is hugging her. Perhaps he's right. The princess knows what she's doing when choosing her Faithful Student to host the show. Nothing can go wrong, right?

"Stop the show!" Diamond Tiara snaps as she and Silver Spoon came into the backstage.

"Huh?" The couple asks startled and confused as they saw the two fillies coming in. What are they doing back here?

Silver Spoon notices Rainbow, somehow stuck to Diamond Tiara, and pulls the pony right off. "Diamond Tiara got business here and you better listen."

"Hey, what gives you the right in barge back here as if you two own the place?!" Ben demands to Diamond Tiara as she shoves Rainbow right off herself.

"For your information, you Earth pony magic freak, we do own this place!" Diamond Tiara snaps to Ben with a sneer. "Get everypony out of this dump because Silver Spoon and I are shutting it down!"

Twilight and Ben looks shocked as Diamond Tiara laughs wickedly. Is she serious?!

----------------------

The audience continues eating while watching the show. During this time, Snips and Snails were eating his mail. The latter notices something and spoke up, "Hey waiter! There're daisies in my friend's soup! Come on, I want some too! Hey Pipsqueak? What did you soup has?"

"I got Rex the shapeshifting lizard." Pipsqueak sighs as he glances at Catrina's assistant Rex taking a bath in his soup.

"Hey, I haven't bath since my appearance in the franchise. Not my fault." Rex remarks to the colt with a shrug.

-------------

Nyx came backstage and saw her parents, Rainbow, and Rarity (who came to see in what's going on) confronting Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. The filly snaps, "Hey, what's going on here? You can't be back here, Diamond, as if you own the place!"

"On the contrary, Silver Spoon and I do own the place!" Diamond Tiara explains to Nyx with a smirk on her face.

"Hang on, no you don't! Princess Celestia gave the club to me and my friends personally!" Twilight snaps to Diamond Tiara with a frown. "Anyway, how could you even pull it off?"

"Silver Spoon, the contract," As Silver Spoon takes out a contract to show to the employees, Pinkie came into the backstage. "Daddy just brought the place from the princess herself! I'm surprised he pulled it off. I guess the so-called powerful alicorn was generous! And as extension, I'm also in charge along with Silver Spoon here."

"Yeah, don't believe us, go ahead and read." Silver Spoon remarks to the ponies who gasps upon looking at the deed.

"She's right." Ben said stunned to the others while glancing at the deed. "Those two kids really do own the club!"

"And you're all trespassing, losers! Now get your packs and get out before I called the Royal Guard!" Diamond Tiara sneers to the cast with a sneer.

"Hooray, I'm the new host now!" Pinkie exclaims happily but yelps as Diamond Tiara made her back away.

"Same to you, party pony! It's all here in black and white!"

"That can't be real!" Nyx exclaims in worry as Pinkie took the contract before she, Rainbow and Twilight looks at the contract to be double sure. "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon can't really own the place!"

"Sorry, Nyx, but that's a real contract and we do own the place." Silver Spoon explains to Nyx. Noticing a frown on Diamond's face, she adds, "Err, 'sorry' as in 'sorry, you're a loser' kinda way; Heh heh heh."

"Oh no," Pinkie gulps a bit as she looks at the contract. "This contract is real, it's all true."

Twilight couldn't believe it. This is her first night of running the club and now, it's going to be shut down already? Diamond Tiara then adds, "The House of Pony belongs to us, so hand over the keys, horn head and loser friends!"

"Show some respect!" Rarity snaps to Diamond Tiara angrily. Just because the filly and her friends own the club, doesn't mean she can disrespect the heroes that way.

"What for?"

"How about the fact that we saved Equestria and to a lesser extent, you," Rainbow reminds Diamond with a scowl.

"Well, even heroes like you have landlords, now give me the keys!" Diamond Tiara orders to Twilight sternly.

"You can't force mommy to do that!" Nyx exclaims to Diamond Tiara furiously. "I oughta..."

"No, Nyx. Diamond has the right to do so; her father brought the place so she is one of the landlords now." Twilight sighs in sadness. She has no choice. The purple unicorn took out the keys, ready to hand them over to Diamond with a sniff.

"Wait, hang on! You don't have to do it! Check this out, Twilight!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she points at something in the contract. Twilight looks closely and smiles upon seeing what her friend's talking about.

"'The show must go on clause'?"

"Is he any chance related to Santa Claus or Santa Hooves?"

Rainbow frowns upon hearing what Pinkie say that. Her friend can be so random. Though the Pegasus pony was smiling at first, mostly because she thought that means that Rainbow can take over the hosting duties now.

"What does that mean, mommy?" Nyx ask Twilight puzzled.

"That means Diamond and Silver can't kick us out as long as a show is on!" Twilight exclaims with an eager smile, much to Diamond Tiara's confusion. "The princess has thought of everything, I knew she wouldn't just let us close down so easily!"

"Hang on; where the hay did it say that?" Diamond Tiara demands to Twilight in annoyance, refusing to believe that at first.

"Right here in black and white. Check it out."

"Let me see!" The Snotty Duo took the contract from Twilight and took a quick reading, both of them say the words very fast though Diamond Tiara slow down as she yell in shock, "As long as the show goes on?!"

"Well, what do you know? It's all there!" Silver Spoon exclaims, with a secret smile on her face. The filly may be Diamond Tiara's best friend but even she can't stand her ways sometimes. At least now the club won't shut down. "Sorry, Diamond! As long as their show goes on, we can't shut the place down."

"Ugh! Blasted princess and her legal system! They should have a law against that!"

"Tough, Diamond! Now if you and Silver Spoon want to stay and watch the show, you can...but until then, get out!" Nyx exclaims to Diamond Tiara, making the bully growls at her.

"Fine; Have it your way, losers! But someday, your show won't go on and we'll kick your sorry flanks out of this place! You'll see! Come on, Silver Spoon!" Diamond Tiara scowls as she leaves the building. The others smirk while Silver Spoon shrugs as she leaves with her friend.

"Well, that's a close one." Rainbow said with a sigh once the Snotty Duo are out of earshot.

"Right, I thought we would be goners for sure." Nyx said in agreement.

"Yes, but if we have to prevent Diamond Tiara from shutting us down, we got to keep the show going." Twilight said in determination. If the gang can keep the show going for the whole night, then the club will be spared shut down for another night.

"Uh, Twilight, girls; There isn't a show going on." Ben points out to Twilight. Hearing that made the mare gasps in horror; she jumps and gallop around like mad.

"No! Oh me, not good! What do I do?! What do I do?! I must impress, gotta impress! Should I sing, dance? What should I..."

"Mommy, please, stop!" Nyx insists as Ben grabs Twilight with his magic, causing her to stop moving. "It's okay! It's okay!"

"Right, don't worry. Just show them one of the cartoons." Ben explains to Twilight gently.

"Right, show a cartoon; that should work!" Twilight exclaims with a smile as she gallops to the stage. "No worries, everypony! I will make sure that the show will go on!"

Unknown to the group, Diamond Tiara hasn't left the stage fully and is in hiding with Silver Spoon, watching on as the former remarks sinisterly, "Well, we will have to make sure that show doesn't go on. And I know how we can do that."

Silver Spoon ask Diamond Tiara in concern, "Why do you want to shut down the club so badly? I would think your dad would be able to make more money off this club as is."

"Well, I can't resist the opportunity to make those blank flanks and their friends suffer."

"Come on, Diamond. Is your grudge against Apple Bloom and her friends really bad enough for you to trash one of your dad's business deals?"

Diamond Tiara snorts as she answers, "As a matter of fact, yes."

Silver Spoon shakes her head, sighing, "I wouldn't want to be in your horseshoes when your dad finds out about this."

"He won't find out. I'll just have to find a way to justify shutting down the club so that Daddy won't question me too much on the matter."

Twilight back on stage walks into the spotlight while saying, "Okay, everypony! Time for some cartoons! Hit it, Applejack!"

In the control booth, Applejack smirks as she hits the projector with her back legs, causing it to start and groan, "Ugh! I really hate that saying!"

The audience cheers as the first cartoon of the night appears on the screen.

----------------------

It was another day in the laboratory underneath the library. Twilight was working on an experiment while Spike was helping her out.

Twilight, busy at work in her lab, comment, "Would you like to get the paper, Spike; I'd get it myself except I'm in the middle of a very important experiment right now."

"Well, sure, no problem." Spike remarks with a shrug as he heads downstairs to get the paper. May as well since Ben is out getting supplies and Nyx and Phobos are at school.

Spike came outside and spots the newspaper outside near the mailbox. The dragon grins as he came over and picks it up. Spike prepares to leave...but can't move, making him say, "What the hay?"

Spike looks down...and frowns upon seeing that his feet are struck in wet cement! The dragon groans, "Blast the Ponyville officials. They weren't supposed to start laying the cement for another two months. I wish we would have gotten some warning that they were going to start early."

Spike groans as he tries to get himself out of the cement, but fell down. The dragon groans as he tries to escape but end up doing ridiculous himself while shaking. The first attempt ends up with him posing as the Queen Majesty statue, an art piece, a statue of an old mare, a statue of a love dragon, another statue of a pony, the Wind Whistler memorial, a statue of Grogar, a toilet and some Griffin statue.

Finally Spike got the cement off once it was dry and pulls the cement hat off with his claws, the paper goes up.

"All right, there we go!" Spike exclaims while grabbing the paper. "Looks like I outdid myself."

Of course, Spike thought his problem is done as he walks off while humming...finding himself in another empty square. The dragon looks confused and yelps as an insta-dry cement mixer truck came in, dumping a lot of cement onto him, the stuff instantly dried up on him.

"Ugh!" Spike groans in annoyance. He has had enough of this nonsense! The dragon uses his claws to cut out enough of the cement holding him for him to use his dragon strength.

A while later, as Twilight came back into the library, she heard stomping noises and looks up to see, to her surprise, Spike coming in with the newspaper...with two cement blocks on his feet. The unicorn takes the said paper while saying, "Thank you very much, Spike. Whoa. They sure started laying the cement two months earlier than expected."

"No kidding." Spike said with a sigh of embarrassment.

"Hold still, Spike. I know I can get that cement off you with a magic blast, but I need to completely focus so I can aim properly." Twilight uses her magic to blast the cement off Spike's feet, aiming carefully so that she doesn't accidentally hurt him in the process. "That should do it. You can take the rest of the day off."

"Thanks, Twi."

Spike smiles a bit, relieved that his troubles are over...but his former cement prison causes the floor below him to break, sending the dragon right into the basement very fast. That gotta hurt!

----------------------

Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds wildly. They liked it! It's going to be a good night. They applaud once more as another cartoon begins to play.

-----------

The audience applauds again as the next cartoon begins.

-------------

Rainbow is working on some magic tricks to perform at the Ponyville Theater. While she may be a Pegasus pony, Rainbow can use a magic wand to help her out. The pony invited a few of her friends to watch her onstage performing.

Rainbow came on stage and waves her magic hat, putting it onto a podium. Next, the pony puts her hooves together and lifts them up to make a wand appears out of thin air. Rainbow then steps to one side of the hat and waves her magic wand, exclaiming, "Alakazam!"

Rainbow taps the hat causing pink smoke to come out of it. With a smile, the pony puts a hoof into the magic hat and pulls out what she thinks to be a rabbit while exclaiming, "Ta-da! Cool!"

But then Rainbow heard sizzling, that doesn't sound good. She opens her eyes to get a huge shock. It isn't a rabbit that the Pegasus pony pulled out but a bomb! Rainbow looks shocked. Where did that bomb came from? Apparently, those things have a habit to follow her around in an attempt to blow Rainbow up!

Rainbow not sure whom she upset to make this happened but the culprit seems to have a lot of bombs. Frantically, the Pegasus pony waves her wand, causing the bomb to be covered in pink smoke and replaced with a bouquet of flowers in her hoof.

Rainbow sighs in relief, taking a bow while thinking that the worst is over. That is until the bouquet of flowers wilt, revealing that the bomb is still in her hoof and still going. The mare screams in horror as she waves her wand again to make two pigeons appear. She sighs in relief. That's done with.

Unfortunately, as the pigeons flew away, Rainbow heard the bomb sizzling, but where is it now? The mare suspiciously look at the pocket of the suit that she's wearing and begin pulling out scarves of different colors, obviously doing the magic scarves trick.

Once Rainbow got the trick done, her eyes widened in horror as the bomb is now at the other end. The mare screams, "Come on! That is a dirty trick even for me!"

Rainbow now pulls out a rolled up newspaper bouquet vase and throws a bomb in there. The mare adds some water and waves her wand, making another puff of smoke appears. She peeks inside and smiles while holding the bouquet vase upside down, causing party favors to come down.

The audience applauds as Rainbow exclaims in satisfaction, "Ta-da!" Looks like her troubles are...

Wait, I spoke too soon. The bomb quickly came out of the vase, causing Rainbow to notice and panic. What is it going to take to get rid of this thing?! The Pegasus pony frowns and waves her magic wand to make the bomb disappear...but she made a second one appear.

Rainbow gasps and tries to make both bombs disappear, only for another to appear on her head. Frantically, the pony waves her wand again to make the bomb on her head go away. Too bad a fourth one appeared on top of the third bomb. Rainbow frowns and screams, waving her wand like mad in an attempt to get rid of the explosives.

For a while, it looks like the bombs are gone. Rainbow took a deep breath and sighs in relief. But then, the curtain behind her lifts up...revealing six bombs on top of a pyramid. The Pegasus's eyes widened as she turns around to see her worst nightmare about to go off.

Frantically, Rainbow dives into the hat and just before all six bombs blow up. Once that's done, the curtain, ripped apart, fell down along with the podium and the hat...the only one unharmed.

The audience laughs as Rainbow came out of the hat, dressed like a bunny. In annoyance, she groans, "Aw, horse apples!"

This wasn't her lucky day at all!

-------------

The audience applauds once more. They really liked that cartoon. They are preparing for the next one...but of course, for some reason, the progress appears to be slow.

In the backstage area, Ben calls out to Applejack through the headset with a smile, "Okay, AJ, prepare another cartoon for the audience!" Of course, he frowns. For some reason, the mare isn't calling back, "Applejack, the next cartoon! Hello; You there?"

"Ben, what's wrong?" Twilight ask Ben as she came over to see what's wrong.

"I don't know! Applejack isn't answering for some reason! Better see what's wrong."

The two nods as they head over to the control booth area.

---------

Twilight opens the control booth door and looks shocked upon seeing a shocking sight: the place appears to be a mess as if some pony has ransacked it...and Applejack is tied up, gagged and blinded in her chair while being muffled.

"Applejack," Twilight exclaims in worry. Ben uses his magic to remove the blindfold on her eyes and the gag on her mouth. As Applejack spits the sock out, her friend asks, "What happened?"

"Hay if Ah know! JusSonic kept dealing wit' rock fer brain critics, 'de president race is getting close, some guy in a Bane outfit caused trouble in a theater an' de cities on 'de west coast got hit by a huge tidal wave!" Applejack exclaims to her friends in worry.

"No, I mean what happened in here."

"Oh, somepony attacked me, blinded, gagged an' tied me up before making off wit' our cartoons."

Twilight and Ben gasps in horror and worry. Without any cartoons, the show cannot go on! That means...

"Awww, oh no," A familiar voice exclaims in mock-shock. The trio turns to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon coming into the booth, the former looks fake concern. "There are no cartoons in a cartoon club? Shame; Looks like the show is over!"

"Why are you concerned? You wouldn't..." Silver Spoon begins to say but Diamond Tiara nudges her, keeping her quiet, "I mean, nothing!"

"Diamond Tiara," Twilight snaps to Diamond Tiara, trotting up to her while frowning. "Did you have a hoof in this by any chance? And did you force Silver Spoon into helping you out?"

"What, what? You think we did this?" Diamond Tiara insists as she points over to Applejack who is tied up with a rope that has a tag that suspiciously said 'Property of Diamond Tiara' and the rope itself appears to have her tooth marks. "Hey, neither of us even knows Applejack!"

"Hey Silver Spoon," Applejack said to Silver Spoon with a smile.

"Oh how are you, Applejack?" Silver Spoon asks Applejack with a smile making her friend frown in annoyance by the comment.

"Why these hoof prints don't mean anything!" Diamond Tiara insists as she points to some hoof prints that obviously matched her own hooves.

Twilight point out, "Do you REALLY think I'm stupid enough to fall for your flimsy attempts to deny involvement, Diamond? Especially considering all the overwhelmingly obvious evidence; I mean, the rope that's explicitly marked as your property? Your hoof prints and tooth marks on the rope? The fact you're the one with the biggest motive to see the club shut down?"

Diamond snaps, "Maybe you're not stupid enough to fall for it, but it doesn't matter. Because I still have grounds to shut the club down now and you'll never find the cartoons in time. Anyway, as the new owners, Silver Spoon and I better tell folks that we're shutting this dump down! Come on."

Silver Spoon sighs as she follows her friend out the door, the latter is doing so casually. Ben comment, "How could Diamond overpower and tie up Applejack? Applejack easily has the advantage in strength and combat experience."

Twilight points out, "Diamond had the advantage of the element of surprise and managed to knock out Applejack before she had a chance to defend herself. Surprisingly smart, considering her stupidity in almost every other respect of this case."

Twilight and Ben follows the Snotty Duo out of the room, leaving Applejack, sitting out. The Earth pony pauses then asks, "Uh, ponies? Some help? Shucks, Ah guess Ah can git out on mah own." Applejack then works on escaping on her own.

------------

In the main room, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy and the animals gather together to find out what's going on. The Snotty Duo came in with Diamond Tiara snapping, "Come on, everypony out, you're finished!"

The animals yelps as Diamond Tiara swipes at them, forcing the little ones to run out. Fluttershy exclaims, "Hey, leave my animal friends alones!" The little filly landlord growl at her, making the yellow Pegasus pony yelps. "Ooh, well, you can stop when you want to..."

"Hang on, Diamond Tiara!" Twilight snaps as she and Ben came into the backstage area. "The show isn't over just yet!"

"Ha! What show?" Diamond Tiara remarks with a scoff while pointing to the staff. "Why, you don't have any stories and that stage out there is deader than Sunny Town!"

Of course, on stage right now is the Story of the Blanks Zombie Ponies performing on stage. Silver Spoon looks creep out as she remarks, "Okay, that's creepy."

Twilight needs to think up something and fast. So she turns to the Cutie Mark Markers while asking, "You fillies think you can go out there and keep the show going?"

"Sure, yew can count on us!" Apple Bloom exclaims as she, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo zings over onto the stage.

Silver Spoon pauses then remarks to Diamond Tiara, "So far, their show is going even without cartoons."

"Ugh! Fine, freaks! You got lucky this time! But I will be watching you, Miss Sparkle!" Diamond Tiara snaps to Twilight as she and Silver Spoon trots off.

"Why can't you just let them be happy?"

"Happy; HAPPY; because I wanna push them down a peg or two; Just because they wear those stupid trinkets doesn't mean they're all powerful! I mean, I was rolling with laughter back when Sparkles slave's brother was beating her senseless."

We see a scene from 'Lorcan's Wrath' where Twilight was getting beaten up by Lorcan...though we see Diamond Tiara rolling on the ground with laughter, much to Silver Spoon's chagrin.

"It's not funny." Silver Spoon said to Diamond Tiara in disapproval.

Once the Snotty Duo left, Twilight groans in annoyance, "Uggh. If only Diamond was an adult - AND had super-powers - AND was trying to conquer Equestria and/or kill the princesses."

"Why would you want that?" Ben asks his girlfriend puzzled.

"Because at least THEN I would have a perfect excuse to whoomp on her guilt-free."

"In other words, so you can kick her flank without looking like a bully or getting arrested for it."

Twilight nods while saying, "Exactly. As it is, I can't beat her up just for throwing attitude, stealing cartoons and trying to shut down the club."

"Well, calm down, Twi. Diamond will still get her comeuppance." Ben assures his filly friend with a grin.

"Yeah; you're probably right. Okay, we need to keep this show going but how are we going to do so? We still got to find those missing cartoons!"

Pinkamena and Golden Heart come (they heard of the cartoons being stolen) and the alicorn say, "You try to find the cartoons, me and Pinkamena will keep the crowd entertained."

"Yeah, just worry about finding a way to find them." Pinkamena insists happily as she and Golden Heart heads out to entertain the crowd.

Ben shakes his head while saying, "We don't have any time to find the stolen cartoons. Listen, while the band's playing and Pinkamena and Golden Heart are performing, we will make a new cartoon!"

"I have an idea for a new cartoon, but I'm going to need help to make it." Pinkie said with a thoughtful smile.

"As long as it isn't -" Twilight begins to say before Pinkie cuts her off.

"Heck no, you silly fill; I hate those pony grimdark stories as much as you do. But with my toon physics abilities and your and Ben's combined magic, we should have absolutely no problem with special effects."

"Good point." Twilight said with a nod. Pinkie rush out and back with a clock and some video equipment. The mare gave the keys to Rainbow while adding, "Okay, Dash, Pinkie, Ben and I will be working on a new cartoon. Until we get back, you're in charge."

"All right," Rainbow exclaims eagerly and excitedly.

"Somehow, I can't help thinking I just made a big mistake. But it's not like I have much choice right now."

Pinkie follows Twilight and Ben out the door to work on their cartoon. Rainbow still couldn't believe it, her unicorn friend has put her in charge of the club!

"Rainbow, this is your big chance, darling!" Rarity exclaims to Rainbow with a smile.

"I'm in charge?" Rainbow asks while glancing at the keys. The mare smirks while thrusting a hoof into the air, "Oh yeah, about time too! Time to make some changes around here!"

-----------

Rainbow begins her changes while motioning a crane outside to remove the sign that said 'House of Pony' from the club house. Soon the crane itself put up a new sign that's covered up.

Once the cover is removed, the sign is revealed to be...'House of Rash'. Rainbow looks surprised while shaking her head. Well, simple mistake, right? They will get it right.

------------

Rainbow smiles while switching all the menus that are in Twilight's decorations to make it more like herself; Then the Pegasus pony changes the Twilight straws to the Rainbow kind in the drinks.

Now Rainbow changes the chairs to rainbow styled chair before removing all the dishes that looks like Twilight with her own. Oh yeah, 20% awesome!

--------

Rainbow smiles as a new sign is put onto the cover. Now it's removed to reveal...'House of Nash'.

Rainbow frowns in annoyance while glancing at the sign. Fine, two mistakes in a row. No problem. Third time's the charm, right?

-----------

Rainbow pulls a lever to get rid of the Twilight Sparkle cutie mark insignia above the counter to replace it with her own cutie mark insignia. Then Rainbow spins around the bushes to changes them into those that look like her.

Rainbow smiles as she puts Rainbow Dash outfits onto the animals to suit her. Rarity looks a bit impressed though Fluttershy ask her friend in worry, "You sure Twilight would like what you're doing?"

"Relax; Twilight is gone for the day. She won't even know." Rainbow assures Fluttershy with a chuckle. "Besides, if she asks, we will blame it on Diamond Tiara."

-------------------

Now the new covered sigh is revealed to be...'House of Ash'. Rainbow frowns in annoyance. This long day is turning out into a big annoying one so far.

--------------

Rainbow now removes a sign that is said 'Reserved for Twilight Sparkle', replacing it with 'Reserved for Rainbow Dash'. The Pegasus pony grins while putting her own car in the parking space.

Next up, Rainbow removes the 'TW' star on Twilight's dressing, replacing it with a 'RD' one. The Pegasus pony then takes out Twilight's picture from above the 'Our Student Founder' label then put a gold plated statue of herself in front of it, which is labeled 'Our Awesome Leader'.

------------------

Now a new sign is put up. This time: 'House of Hash'. Rainbow hits herself in the face in annoyance. Can't these guys get it right?!

------------------

Rainbow now removes the magic labs from Twilight's room, replacing it with a toy race car track. She then removes the Celestia like mirror to replace it with one for the Wonderbolts.

Rainbow then removes the Twilight Sparkle books, replacing them with comic books of herself. She rushes out of the dressing room while going by Rarity and Fluttershy. The two mares are worried for their friend.

Rainbow is taking her charge of the place a bit too far.

----------------------------

Rainbow now saw the next sign that is now on top of the club: 'House of Trash'; The pony groans, about to lose her temper but saw a camera crew nearby, preparing to take pictures.

Rainbow smiles nervously as she poses for the ponies who took pictures of her rapidly.

---------

Rainbow ends up appearing in the magazines like 'Haytainment Weekly' and 'Ponies'. Don't ask me how that happened so quickly.

----------------

Next up, Rainbow saw the next sign to be put up which reads...'House of Cupcakes'. The pony groans as she faints. It's like these ponies aren't even trying anymore.

-----------

Rainbow is determined to get the sign right, so she begins appearing all over Equestria, even Earth. Her face appears on buses, blimps, to billboards, etc.

Rainbow will make that club sign right if it's the last thing she do!

----------

Rarity looks around in amazement as she looks up at the new covered sign that is being put up. The unicorn, Rainbow and Fluttershy watch as the cover lifts up to reveal...'House of Dash'.

Rainbow, looking up, smiles in triumph. Now that's more like it! The mare smiles as she and her friends, both are flabbergasted, trots into the club to continue running the place.

Of course, the trio fails to see that the 'u' in the word 'house' didn't stick at all.

---------------------------

The club, under the new name 'House of Dash', is doing fine, the guests are enjoying themselves. Sora pours some tea into his love Cinderella's love while she comments, "Thanks, Sora."

"What did I tell you two?" Rainbow asks Rarity, frowning in concern, and Fluttershy. "I can run this club in no time! Not a problem!"

"'Not a problem'? Rainbow, there's more to running this place than a name change." Rarity said with an annoyed sigh. Rainbow yelps as the unicorn uses her magic to get some covered dinner plates, handing them to the Pegasus pony. "We got more; I will handle the door while you deal with the food with Fluttershy."

"Yes, with Pinkie Pie out, I have extra work to do." Fluttershy said with a nod as she and Rarity heads off. Rainbow nods a bit then glances at a cat in a Rainbow Dash outfit, giving a salute to her.

"Horse apples," Rainbow mumbles with annoyance. This club running thing could be tricky.

Still, Rainbow flew off to three tables, which is occupied by Megan who is reading a book, Cherries Jubilee (from the first series) and G3 Minty. Minty herself opens a plate and gasps upon seeing a roast chicken. Cherries Jubilee opens her plate and looks shocked to see a Bushwoolie with an apple in his mouth.

Megan opens her plate and saw King Hugo on his plate, making the girl ask in shock, "Huh?"

"Kid, face it, the service here stinks." King Hugo remarks with an annoyed sigh. The guests got the wrong meals apparently.

Up front, Rarity find herself surrounded by the Buffalo Tribe, the unicorn calls out, "Rainbow Dash; Table for a bunch of buffalos; Hoo boy."

"Oh man!" Rainbow groans as she looks over. Even Fluttershy begins to get worried. The crowd is getting concerned and upset.

Derpy and Dinky Doo sat at their table, the unicorn ask puzzled, "Mommy, where's Twilight?"

"Right! Having Twilight Sparkle on stage isn't a bad idea!" Surprise comments while sitting at a table with Firefly. The crowd is getting upset, freaking out. They are upset that Twilight isn't around and don't get them started on the service.

"Hoo boy, mommy better get back soon." Nyx said with a worried look. This doesn't look good.

Rarity, in concern, drags Rainbow to the backstage area, calling out, "Rainbow Dash, you better get out there and entertain! The crowd is starting to get ugly!"

Sure enough, in the seating area, the crowd is starting to get ugly. Somnambula turns into her old woman form, Scorpan's prince form turns into his demon gargoyle one from when Tirek cursed him, and even Nightmare Moon turns into her big monster form very fast.

"Look, it isn't that difficult. Pinkamena and Golden Heart are out there right there!" Rainbow insists as she points a hoof to the stage.

Sure enough, Rainbow sees Pinkamena with her right back hoof balancing on Golden Heart's horn with her holding the handles of her blades on both of her front hooves and one on the tip of her nose. The two do not make a mistake when doing this.

"Right," Fluttershy said in concern while arriving. She and Rarity tries to push Rainbow out while the yellow Pegasus pony said, "But they won't be there for long. Better keep the show going or..."

"Or your cartoon club is mine!" Diamond Tiara exclaims as she steps in front of the trio with Silver Spoon watching. The filly looks delighted. Rainbow may be a popular mare in Ponyville, but when it comes to running clubs, even she fell onto her wings.

"Out of my way, you brats; I will show you!" Rainbow snaps in determination. She will prove Diamond Tiara wrong. Once Pinkamena and Golden Heart are done, the Pegasus pony got into the spotlight, grinning, "Hey, folks! Welcome to the House of Dash! We got one great show and..."

Unfortunately, the crowd got more violent. Snips groans to Snails, "Ugh, this pony isn't cool when on stage and when we don't wanna see her right now."

Rarity yelps as she and Fluttershy tries to give their friend moral support. Needless to say, Rainbow look around nervously, the crowd is booing her.

"Come on, give us Twilight Sparkle! Not Rainbow Dash!" Surprise exclaims while booing Rainbow.

Rainbow needs to think of something and fast. So she zips offstage for a moment then came back in a very fake Twilight Sparkle outfit, fake cutie mark and all, saying, "It's me, Twilight Sparkle! I want to make a report summary my reports for Princess Celestia!"

Rarity held up an applause sign in hopes that the audience would follow. Not so good as the folks, not pleased or amused, kept on booing. Rainbow sighs, that won't work. She must try something else!

Rainbow flew off stage again, coming back in the Star Swirl the Bearded outfit though still in the same Twilight outfit. She pretends to be using magic, using some magic gloves...but they blew up on the Pegasus pony, sending Rainbow back hard.

"Ugh! What a Bulkhead!" Ratchet exclaims to Rainbow in annoyance then turns to his fellow Autobot Bulkhead. "No offense, Bulkie."

"Eh, none taken." Bulkhead remarks with a shrug, assuring his pal that no offense is made here.

The folks begin chanting Twilight's name, wanting her. For a moment, it looks like she appeared onstage, making the guests applauding. That is until the whole thing, feeling 'Twilight' to be a cardboard cutout set up by Rainbow. They started booing once more.

Rainbow yelps as she hid backstage when stuff are thrown at her. Fluttershy peeks out and gasps, "Rainbow, Rarity! The guests are leaving!"

In the waiting room, Spike got the bill from his brother Lorcan and his alicorn girlfriend Luna, the older brother pays a tip while saying, "Sorry we can't stay, sis, but we can't stay here if our adopted sister ain't here!"

Derpy frowns as she got Dinky onto herself then they flew out to the door. Starlight and her friends run out, with the main leader snapping, "Let's leave."

Galaxy, seeing that this show is turning bad, uses her magic to wink out of view.

G3 Rarity along with Brights Brightly, G3 Cheerilee and Whistle Wishes left their table and heads off, the G3 Rarity left her Magic Wand begin. The G4 version rushes up and picks the wand up while exclaiming, "Wait! G3 me! The show is not over yet! You just got hours on your parking time!"

"Wait, stop; hang on!" Rainbow exclaims as she tries to block the door, but the guests ran out, knocking the Pegasus pony over while leaving.

Rainbow got up as Anubus's mirror fell down, the villain sighs, "Doesn't reflect well on me at all."

"Hey, Silver Spoon, check this out!" A familiar voice laughs in amusement. Rainbow saw Diamond Tiara looking around with Silver Spoon following, the former is smirking evilly. "What's this I hear? There isn't a show going on!"

"Yeah, no guests either." Silver Spoon adds with a sigh.

"Well, well! We win, you dumb ponies. Now give me the keys and get lost!"

Rainbow sighs sadly, she messed up big time on hosting the club and now it cost her and her friends the club. Rarity looks down sadly while saying, "Well, you blew your chance. Who knows? Maybe you will get another one...someday."

Rainbow sighs. She takes the keys out and is about to hand them over to the eager Diamond...but a familiar voice of Twilight snaps, "Not so fast, Diamond Tiara!"

"What the hay??" Diamond Tiara jumps with her friends. The Snotty Duo, Rainbow, Rarity and Fluttershy turns to see Twilight, Ben and Pinkie coming in, the Earth pony is holding a cartoon on her mane.

"We're back and we made a new cartoon!" Pinkie exclaims happily as the trio came into the club. "We ain't close!"

"So what," Diamond Tiara snaps to the group in annoyance, Twilight smirks and looks at her watch, "There still ain't any guests in this dump! So..."

"Hey, everypony; Look, Twilight's back," The excited voice of Surprise is heard from outside making Diamond Tiara jump in shock. Looks like the guests saw that Twilight has returned. That means...

"Right on schedule," Twilight laughs as she gallops past Diamond Tiara. The bullying filly screams and didn't have time to get out of the way as the audience rush back into the couple, trampling her all over.

As Diamond Tiara recovers, Silver Spoon smiles while saying, "Too bad, Diamond. I will be watching the cartoon while you just sat down if that's okay."

As the guests got seated, Rainbow smiles nervously to her friend while saying, "Err...Twilight, I betcha you're wondering about the couple of changes I made. I can explain! Diamond..."

"Rainbow, relax, I just wanted you to distract long enough, plus it's to teach you the responsibility of owning a club." Twilight explains to her friend, assuring her that there will be no hard feelings. "Of course, I will use my magic to change the place back by next week's show."

"Fair enough. You're better hosting this place until I'm ready to do it myself someday anyway."

The audience applauds as Twilight came back onstage, back to her rightful hosting duties with order (or what counts as it) restored. Nyx cheers on, "Yeah, mommy! Welcome back!"

The pony sighs in relief, "Sorry for the absence, folks, but you will be happy to know that we got a super-great cartoon starring Pinkie Pie and me!"

As the next cartoon starts, the audience applauds.

---------------------------------------------

It is another morning in Ponyville, Twilight was in her library, reading a book and relaxing. Things are quiet at first...but then her phone begins to ring.

Twilight looks for the phone and found it, picking the handle up while speaking into it, "Hello?"

A circle somehow appears over Twilight. Pinkie is in it...upside while talking weirdly. Twilight sighs while saying, "Pinkie Pie, you're speaking into the wrong end of the phone again!"

Pinkie looks surprised then hangs up, the circle disappear briefly before returning with the pony (right side up this time) speaking normally, "Hey, Twilight! It's me, Pinkie Pie!"

"Yeah, obviously; I knew that already."

"Ooh. Say, Twilight? Can you pick me up at Sugarcube Corner and take me to the airport at 6 AM tomorrow?"

"6 AM? You can't be serious, right? Are you being random?" Twilight ask Pinkie in surprise. Why would her friend want her to pick the Earth pony up that early, "And why me?"

"I am serious you silly filly! And I'm always random!" Pinkie exclaims happily to Twilight. "And for the last funny question, you owe me a favor! Remember when I saved you on time not so long ago?"

Alarms goes off in a griffin like prison, a jail break is occurring. One griffin security guard was knocked out as we see Twilight, wearing a magic proof bracelet, came out of a hole that is made by Pinkie Pie, who uses her toon abilities to break her out.

"Thanks for saving me, Pinkie! I owe you a favor!" Twilight exclaims to Pinkie with a grin.

"Awww, it wasn't anything to make a fuss about, Twilight!" Pinkie exclaims to Twilight with a smile. "You don't have to thank me!"

"No, no, I mean it! I do owe you a favor, even if I have to take you to the airport at 6 AM early in the day."

"Well, sure, okie dokie lokie! Uh...what's an airport?'

"Oh right, yeah." Twilight said in concern and nervously. The unicorn did owe Pinkie a favor for breaking her out of the griffin favor. "Yeah, I would love to pick you up at Sugarcube Corner and take you to the airport, but my digital clock is broken and..."

"Nope! Can't get out of this one," Pinkie reminds Twilight with a frown. "You made a Pinkie Promise. I recall you saying..."

As Twilight and Pinkie were making their escape, the unicorn said, "Oh yes; one more thing. Just so I won't talk you out of it like a silly excuse that my digital clock is broken down, I am making a Pinkie Promise!" The unicorn then does her Pinkie Promise. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

"Okie dokie lokie! I'm sticking you to that promise!" Pinkie exclaims happily but then she looks confused. "Say, what's a digital clock?"

"Oh horse feathers." Twilight said with a frown. She did make a Pinkie Promise so that the unicorn can't talk her way out of it. Looks like Twilight must make good on it because she knows how furious Pinkie Pie can be when someone breaks a Pinkie Promise (Applejack sure learnt that one the hard way).

"Well, since your digital clock is broken, you can borrow my clock until then!" Pinkie surprisingly somehow took out an alarm clock and gave it to Twilight through the circle. The unicorn looks surprised. Her friend's odd ability to break the fourth wall freaks her out.

"Oh, thanks, well, see you tomorrow, Pinkie Pie."

Twilight hangs up the phone as Pinkie and the circle disappear. The mare sighs a bit. Looks like she will have to do her favor (or else risk the wrath of Pinkie Pie).

-------------------

It was nighttime as Twilight was setting up the clock for the night. Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos are off in Canterlot, visiting Celestia so the female unicorn is alone with only Owlowiscious, nearby on a stand, to keep her company.

"Okay, good enough." Twilight said as she finish winding the clock up.

Twilight turns the lamp light off and prepares to go to bed...one problem, the clock was tick-tocking loud, much to the mare's annoyance. Twilight turns the light on to look at the thing but the clock stop.

Twilight shrugs as she turns the light off, but as the mare laid herself down, she hears the clock's tick-tocking once more. Twilight frowns as she turns the light on to look at the clock.

"Ugh, leave it to Pinkie Pie to give me a clock with a loud tick-tock." Twilight groans a bit. "Perhaps if I were to ignore it..."

Twilight lay down again and turn the light on. Of course, she occasionally hears the clock then turns the light back on to look at the clock which stops. This goes on for a while. The mare frowns a bit, having enough as the clock was ticking loudly this time even the light is back on.

Twilight in annoyance shove the clock inside a drawer of a table and close it. The mare sighs as she prepares to get some sleep again. No such luck as the tick-tocking is louder even in there.

Twilight pulls the clock out and throws it near a glass of water near Owlowiscious, hoping to drown the noise out. But even the ticking noise can be heard in there, annoying both the owner and her pet. With a scowl, Twilight uses her magic to send pillows at the glass of water and the clock.

Twilight smiles as she prepares to lay herself to sleep again...but even then, she could hear the tickling of the clock from under the pillow. The mare groans, "Ugh! I'm going to block it out with some music! That should put an end to this foolishness!"

Twilight, getting tired, heads over to a radio and turns it on tiredly in hope that some music would drown out the clock. A voice is heard from it, "And now, welcome to the all Tick Station!" To Twilight's disbelief, she can hear ticking coming from the radio. The mare turns the dial. "Welcome to the all Tock Station!" And of course, tocking is heard on the radio, the fact that it's bad enough that a clock is in the room didn't help.

Twilight tiredly rush over to her TV then turns it on. Of course, it shows a picture of a clock with a voice saying, "The Tick-Tock channel, ponies!"

Tick-tocks are heard all over the house, making Twilight scream "Ugh! For the love of Celestia," The mare rush back to the pillows and pull out the clock, trying her best to smash the thing...but the thing kept bouncing around, breaking the radio and the TB before going down a nearby laundry chute.

Twilight sighs in relief, perhaps now she can get some sleep. The mare turns the light off and prepares to do so...but Twilight, to her annoyance, could still hear the tick-tocking from inside the chute.

Twilight rolls around, trying to ignore the tick tocks, but everything fades to black. The mare was cringing like mad, hearing paddleballs n her ears, drums, popping balloons, anvils, even cymbal noises. Twilight covers herself up but no matter what, she kept hear the noises like huge blasts going off.

"Ugh, I had have enough!" Twilight exclaims furiously as she turn the light on, getting out of bed. Enough is enough! The unicorn uses her magic to get the clock out of the chute, then opens a window. "You are out of here, you pest!"

Twilight believes that her trouble is over...but it's not. After the clock was thrown out, a picket fence caught, spinning around and sending the clock back into the house, landing back onto the drawer. Twilight frowns while growling. She can't believe this!

Twilight uses her magic to throw the clock out the window again, yelling, "And don't come back!" She then closes the window itself. Perhaps now that clock will not come back!

Of course, the camera ends up in a nearby tree, rolling out of it and right onto the grassy yard. Somepony's sprinkler got activated, sending the clock into the air and down the chimney of the library.

The clock bounces out of the chimney, turning on a radio that begins to play the theme song to the My Little Pony series, even dancing around to that. Twilight can hear the commotion from upstairs and needless to say, she isn't happy at all.

"Ugh, I just want to get to sleep!" Twilight exclaims furiously. Enough is enough!

-----------------------

Twilight put the clock into a package and close the latter before snapping, "Sorry, Pinkie, but you can have this back!" Promise or no, the mare isn't going to spend another minute in the tree with that thing!

Twilight signs the package 'To Pinkie Pie' then heads outside to put it into the mailbox. She then heads upstairs to her room and got into bed. Now the pony can get some sleep...

However, a while later, Pinkie came into the room in PJs...and with the clock too. The Earth pony exclaims happily, "Oh hey Pinkie! I think you must've sent my clock back to me by mistake! Luckily I got the mail very early and thought to give it back to you so you won't oversleep!"

"What?" Twilight ask sleepily and shocked as Pinkie put the clock back onto the drawer before leaving the room.

"Get some shut-eye! Don't forget your Pinkie Promise. You got to take me to the airport at six!"

Pinkie leaves the room, making Twilight stare at the clock with a groan.

-------------

"I will send you down under!" Twilight snaps as she put a clock into another package and signed it 'To Coltralia'. Then the mare put it into the mailbox to send the thing away once more.

Twilight was going back to sleep...but the door opens as a kangaroo came in and put the clock back before leaving. Apparently, someone in Coltralia doesn't want that clock around either! Twilight can hear the tick-tock once more, groaning.

---------------

Twilight tried a different approach: she put the clock in another package and signed it 'To Cyberton' before sending the whole thing away.

Twilight tries to get back to sleep...but an Autobot ship appears as Ratchet teleports the clock back onto the drawer before sleeping. No one on Cybertron wants that clock either!

Needless to say, Twilight heard the clock and groans in annoyance.

----------

Twilight this time sign the package 'To Ponyland' and send the whole thing with the clock away. Maybe now, that darn annoying pest will leave her alone!

No dice. When Twilight tries to go back to sleep, the clock in a classic 1980s look came into the room and lands back onto the drawer, much to the mare's annoyance.

----------

Twilight send the clock to yet another destination: 'To Tartarus'. The mare sent the clock on its away, hoping that it will never come back...

But as Twilight was in bed, a hole leading to Tartarus magically appears, with flames putting the clock onto the drawer (Grimmore decides to send the clock itself back to torture Twilight Sparkle). The mare groans in annoyance as she hears the annoying thing. She will never get any sleep at this rate!

-----------------

In Twilight's poor mind, all the poor mare can do is think of that blasted clock. The unicorn tries to teleport or gallops away from that thing's sounds but no matter what, it won't leave her alone!

Twilight screams as she fell down a hourglass tube, seeing Pinkie, more pink than usual, saying in a squeaky voice, "Don't forget, I have to be at the airport at 6 AM; You Pinkie Promise!"

Twilight tries to escape but she was trapped in this nightmare. It looks like all is lost...when she heard the bells of the clock ringing, waking the mare in her bed. Turns out Twilight did get some sleep after all.

Twilight yawns while groaning, "Okay, it's six. Better get Pinkie to the airport...maybe then this nonsense can be over."

-------------------------

Twilight arrives outside of Sugarcube Corner; her friend is waiting for her, smiling while having a suitcase on her pack. As the two ponies walk alongside each other, Pinkie said happily, "Thanks for the favor, Twilight! Did you have a good sleep?"

"Ugh, don't remind me. Let's get this over with." Twilight said with a yawn. "So which airport did you say you were flying out of?"

"Oh, I didn't say so earlier, but I can down! It's just down the street!"

Twilight stops with Pinkie and blinks her eyes to receive a sight that both shock and infuriate her: the airport was next door to Sugarcube Corner, not too far, the whole time!

"You mean it was next door the whole time?!" Twilight exclaims to Pinkie in shock and fury, "Why did you even ask me to pick you up when you could've just went over there yourself?!"

"Yeah, pretty convenient, huh," Pinkie ask Twilight happily. "Plus, I didn't want to waste this episode that has me giving you that alarm clock that drives you crazy all night and then see you get upset when the obvious was brought up!"

Twilight then begins to growl in fury then jumps into air, going into flame mode while growling loudly. Pinkie yelps in worry and alarm. Not good.

A while later, Pinkie's suitcase was thrown onto the ground as Twilight storms off; and of course, the pink pony was stuffed inside, all smoking.

"Hoo boy, maybe I shouldn't have try this time." Pinkie is heard from inside the suitcase as the cartoon ends.

------------------

Once the cartoon was over, the audience applauds loudly, liking it. Twilight smiles in triumph, time for this show to come to its end.

----------------

The audience applauds, Twilight smiles while saying, "Well, we had a great show! First off, I like to thank the Cutie Mark Peas and..."

"Oh, ha ha! You and your pals think you are so clever, huh?" Diamond Tiara scowls as she came onstage with Silver Spoon. Glaring at the mare, she snaps, "Well, I should tell you that you only have one cartoon that you won't get far with, playing over and over!"

"The next show isn't until tomorrow evening; giving us MORE than enough time to make more cartoons."

"Well, she got a point, Diamond Tiara." Silver Spoon said to Diamond Tiara, making her scowl at her. "Besides..."

"I don't care! I still say..." Before Diamond Tiara could finish, the filly trips causing something to fell out of her person and clanging onto the stage floor; the mean bully gasps as she, Twilight and Silver Spoon saw a film reel. The unicorn frowns suspiciously at Diamond Tiara, who chuckle nervously. "Err, I got a skin condition?"

Diamond Tiara tries to scratch herself to prove her 'lies'...but more film reels fell out of his person. Pinkie points while gasping, "It's the stolen cartoons!"

Twilight comment, "I KNEW you stole the cartoons; I just DIDN'T know WHERE you hid them until now."

Nyx glares at Silver Spoon who chuckles nervously then points to Diamond Tiara while saying, "It was Diamond Tiara's idea! She forced me to help her tie up Applejack and steal them!" The filly runs off, leaving her boss to deal with the consequences herself.

Nyx comment, "How did you manage to steal all the cartoons? You aren't strong enough to carry that many cartoons by yourself and you don't have Pinkie's hammer space talents?"

Diamond answers, "Magic saddlebag. It was a Hearth's Warming Present from Mommy."

"Hand them over, Diamond!" Twilight snaps to Diamond Tiara who chuckles nervously.

"What are you gonna do about it? Hit me?! You'll be sent to prison for filly abuse!"

"Oh, they won't..." A familiar voice snaps as Spike and the CMC appear, the former wielding his beam sword. "But we will."

"Wait, Spike, don't do this!" Diamond Tiara said nervously.

"Oh, I heard what you said at my funeral btw; How 'bout I do that... to you?"

"Well, wait, not what you think, uh...look! It's a bunch of cutie marks and gems!"

"Huh?" Spike and the CMC ask puzzled as they turn away while distracted by the bully. Diamond Tiara quickly ran off, making Twilight frowns. Crud, they fell for it!

"After her," Twilight orders as she, Spike and the CMC chases after Diamond Tiara. They pursue her in the seating area, looking around. That filly must be in this area somewhere.

Twilight glances at where the moving furniture of Paradise Estate is at then opens the wardrobe, revealing Diamond Tiara hiding inside. The filly yelps and runs off with her pursuers in hot pursuit again.

Apple Bloom rush by the table where the Apple Family is sitting at, but then she realizes something and points to a jar near Granny Smith while saying, "Come out o' there, Diamond Tiara!" The old mare yelps as Diamond Tiara came out of hiding and rush off.

The Crystal Ponies were sitting, doing whatever it is they were doing...but looks oddly at a new one that appeared to come out of hiding...wearing fake crystals and sitting down innocently. Spike rush over and pulls the disguise right off, revealing the 'Crystal Pony' to be Diamond who yelps and run off.

Diamond Tiara tries hiding along the buffalos, hiding amongst them but a suspicious glare and grunt from Chief Thunderhooves blew her cover, making the bullying filly yelps as she ran off again.

Twilight stops by the table where the G.I. Joes Renegades are at, looking around for Diamond Tiara. With a frown, she uses her magic to lift the chair in which the Baroness is sitting in causing the Baroness to fall. The thieving filly was revealed to be hiding under there, gasping before rushing off. The Baroness glares sternly at Twilight who sheepishly put the chair down before going after Diamond Tiara once more.

"Someone stop her!" Ben yells angrily. Diamond Tiara was about to arrive at the doors but she bumps into two ponies that she wish to not meet: Golden Heart and Pinkamena who blocked the doors.

"I had a feeling that you stole the cartoons." Golden Heart snaps sternly to Diamond Tiar.

"You will wish you had not done that." Pinkamena snaps. Diamond Tiara yelps as she saw Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Spike and the CMC going up to her with angry looks on their faces.

Diamond Tiara, putting on glasses, protest, "You wouldn't hit a filly with glasses, would you," Scootaloo grabs the glasses and hit Diamond with them, breaking the glasses. The bullying filly groans, "Right, right, you hit a filly 'with glasses', saw what you did there."

"All right, time for you to get punished for stealing our cartoons!" Spike snaps to Diamond Tiara sternly.

"Well, you stupid lizard, no pony would have missed ya. I mean, you're just a errand dragon. Your-" Diamond Tiara was cut off as Spike holds out a fist, and the snotty brat finds herself choking.

Spike, his voice suddenly as deep as James Earl Jones, "I find your lack of respect disturbing."

Apple Bloom whines, "Oh, come on, Spike. Stop doing 'dat spell yer brother taught ya."

Scootaloo agrees while adding, "Yeah, stop being a hog."

"We want a bit of her, Darth." Sweetie Belle said with a nod.

Spike agrees while saying, "Right, but let's do it at the same time before tossing her out."

"Wait, hang on; let's not get hasty..." Diamond Tiara begins to protests as Pinkamena grabs her.

Outside, we can hear pummeling noises before we see Diamond Tiara screaming as she was thrown out of the club, landing near a stoplight where a Pegasus/dragon hybrid named Fireblaze is at with a Black Earth Pony wears sunglasses named Blade. The former remarks, "Let's not do anything, we're only making cameos, just leave the villain."

The two ponies trot off; Blade glares at the groaning Diamond Tiara as he departs.

"Tough luck, Diamond," Silver Spoon said as she came over while smiling to her defeated friend. "But at least they didn't beat you up too bad."

"Oh shut up, Silver Spoon!" Diamond Tiara scowls angrily. "I won't rest until I close that dump now! No matter what! You hear me?!"

"I hear you...which means you won't be sleeping for a long time."

----------------------

Back inside the club, the Cutie Mark Peas did their dance then took a bow, the audience applauds and smiles. Another great end to the show."

"Okay, Spike, take us out of here!" Twilight exclaims to Spike to make an advertisement like the ponies do at the same of every show.

"Yes, Twilight," Spike exclaims while nodding, "Transportation for the House Pony is courtesy of..."

--------------------

"Posey's Limo Service; you will have one awesome grand tour in our magically driving flowers!"

We see assorted flower vehicles while Spike continues.

"Rose Drivers...the Luxury Daisies...or the Extravagant Moon Flowers! Posey's! Home by midnight of your next ride is free!"

Spike then spoke in a low voice, "Warning, some flowers could have seeds in them."7

--------------------

The show was now wrapping up, most of the guests are ready to go home, eager for the next show to see what Twilight and her friends are ready to do next. Rarity waves good bye to 4-Speed in his car while saying, "See you again very soon, 4-Speed!"

4-Speed speeds off in his car. At one table, Spike was giving a bag of food to Trixie Lulamoon while Pinkie exclaims, "Here you go; your dragon baggie, Trixie!"

"Oh, thanks." Trixie said as she takes the bag with her magic, glaring sinisterly to Spike. "See you and Twilight on Season 3 in a few weeks; ha ha ha!"

"Gah," Spike yelps as he rush off, not liking where this is going.

Outside, a carriage that looks like a huge bug. Shining opens a door for Queen Chrysalis who trots up while saying, "Your carriage is ready to fly...and keep your magic where I can see it, Not Cadance!"

"Oh sure, make one incident and they will never forget it." Chrysalis snaps to Shining as she goes into her ride to head on home.

Onstage, Twilight smiles to whoever is left while calling out, "Thanks for visiting the most greatest place in Equestria! Be back next time for our next show! See you later!"

Twilight grins as the show comes to an end, the purple unicorn knew there will be more shows coming very soon...

Author's Notes:

The last chapter of the first episode is now done and Diamond Tiara got what's coming to her. She will be back though. In the next episode 'Big Bad Griffin Bird', Rainbow, surprisingly, invites Gilda the Griffin to perform at the house, though Twilight is worried because of what happened the last time? Will there be a way to deal with Gilda without the club falling this time? Read, review and suggest!

The characters in this fic are either regular MLP: FIM characters, OCs or guest appearances in future fics (like the Autobots).

Catrina's assistant Rex appears in the episode 'Escape from Catrina' of the first MLP series, voiced by Paul Williams.

Applejack's explanation before the real one has references to my critics, the 2012 presidential race, the Bane incident at a theater, and Hurricane Sandy.

The Sunny Town zombie ponies came from 'The Story of the Blanks'.

This chapter has a flashback to 'Lorcan's Wrath' and a reference to the grimdark fics.

The reason Cinderella is in the Alice role is because this is a reference to one of my future MLP fics 'Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in Cinderella in Wonderland'. Also, Sora is an extra with her.

This chapter has references to 'Lorcan's Wrath', the season 2 finale and season 3 (especially the upcoming episode with Trixie).

Baroness is in the role of Queen of Hearts for this episode and will be in a crossover with MLP in the future.

The glasses comment is a reference to Wreck It Ralph.

Fireblaze and Blade are two OCs of my pal Charles Roberts, the latter is based on the vampire Marvel hero Blade.
