All right, folks! After a while, it's time for the second season of House of Pony. I am so excited to make this after the previously time. This is going to be awesome so let's go down and have some fun with the Mane Six, their friends and enemies! Here we go!

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

???: The party just started, so come on in,
The good times are all just about to begin,
So step inside, we're going to have some fun,
There's plenty of room here for everyone!

A certain purple alicorn was singing this as she, Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos are heading back to the House of Pony. It has been a long wait but Twilight is excited to reopen for another season. Yes sir, the second season of House of Pony has arrived.

"You must be excited, right mommy?" Nyx ask Twilight with a smile. The little filly can tell how much her mom waited for this day.

"Sure am! I know things will be great this season!" Twilight giggles happily.

"Also, best of all, Diamond Tiara is grounded and won't be bothering us for who knows how long!" Phobos laughs with a happy smile, recalling how Diamond Tiara was grounded by Filthy Rich when she, Silver Spoon and Maxin Talos tried to take over the club with Cobra Commander's help.

"Well, until the last of the second season anyway!" Nyx commented, breaking the fourth wall.

Soon everyone else who is employed arrives as well. Twilight grins while saying, "Welcome back, everypony! It has been a long time but I feel like this season is going to be a big one! Let's start. Ben, you will help keep the place together, right?"

"As usual, Twiley," Ben said as he took out his usual clipboard, smiling eagerly.

"Big brother? Ready to park some cars?"

"On it, Twiley," Shining said with a nod, preparing to park some cars for the guests this season.

"Rainbow Dash, hopefully you can greet the folks at the door without causing any trouble, right?" Twilight ask her good pal and fellow co-owner of the club with a smirk.

"No promises but I got nothing else better to do tonight." Rainbow remarks while rolling her eyes. "I'm here I guess."

"Rarity. Make sure to keep an eye on all the reservations as well as table seating."

"Sure thing, darling," Rarity giggles a bit. "So any chance I will perform on the show?"

"I will see what I can do." Twilight said though she is not sure if the alicorn herself will ever get Rarity a spot on the show. Bad enough that she got Dr. Lizardo bugging her to perform as it is. "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, you think you can keep up with the usual entertainment when I announce you girls?"

"Got the instruments tuned and everything," Scootaloo exclaims with a smirk as she and her fellow CMC members got their instruments out.

"Yeah," Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both squeals in delight.

"Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and the Cakes, you will make sure to take care of the food for the guests, right?" Twilight ask the waiters and cooks with a smile.

"Sure thing, Twilight; And Dazzle Cake and I will keep the twins in check this time...I think." Mr. Cake said to Twilight with a proud smile.

"I thought her name was Cup Cake."

"Oh, I got my name legally changed." Mrs. Cake explains to Twilight sheepishly. "Turns out there's another pony who goes by that name; Got to deal with confusion of course."

"I see." Twilight said with a nod of understanding. She got to keep up with the names of her subjects/friends during her off hours.

"And I am Super Duper ready to have some fun!" Pinkie giggles as she bounces up and down playfully, ready to serve the guests and have some fun.

"Right, me and the animals are ready as well." Fluttershy said meekly as her animal friends are with her, all of them are preparing to get to work for the season.

"Brave Heart; You ready for your job," Twilight ask Rainbow's cousin Brave Heart with a grin on her face.

"Aye, lass; It will be me pleasure to keep out the riff-raff...and deal with the ones causing trouble inside." Brave Heart spoke to Twilight in his usual Scottish accent, smiling proudly as he does.

"Brian, got any gossip and news to report?"

"Not right now but if I can find anything, I will let you and the others know." Brian said to his friends eagerly. At their glare, he add sheepishly, "Making sure to check my resources as promised; Hee hee hee."

Twilight, satisfied, turns to Applejack while saying, "Applejack! You ready to work the control booth again like last time?"

"Shucks, Twi, Ah will be handling it like handling apples on mah farm!" Applejack exclaims to Twilight with a smirk.

"Okay! That means we're all here. Nyx, Spike, Phobos and I are ready so we're preparing to open up for the season. Time to unlock the doors and get the club set up for tonight! Let's do this, everypony!"

The others cheers as Ben unlock the doors, preparing for another season of House of Pony. Boy, they all cannot wait!

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

Once the club is set up, the House of Pony is prepared. The place was packed as the guests are taking their seats, making orders and ready for some fun. Twilight waits anxiously as Spike is heading down to make the usual introduction. She and Ben don't need a big show right away, just a simple one to start things off. Then when the time comes, there will be big shows.

The first show of the second season begins as Spike makes the introduction, "And now, the most popular unicorn turned alicorn in Equestria and Ponyville...TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

The audience applauds as Twilight teleports into the spotlight. With a smile, she said, "Hey, welcome, folks, and welcome back to the show for those who stuck around. For the new guests, welcome as usual! Hope you all have a great time in getting here!" The audience stops applauding as she continues. "We will start things off with a little treat...it's something that Princess Celestia has found in the vaults of Ponyland past!"

As the audience applauds, Spike spoke excitedly, "All right! Here it is: a 'Behind the Scenes' look...time for Pony Celebrity Auditions!"

As everyone applauds, the screen is turned on.

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

Megan looks to the camera while saying, "All right, everypony. This is the audition for the role of Hamlet, one of the biggest dramatic William Shakespeare please. Okay, Surprise?"

The camera turns to the first pony to auditioned as Surprise flew up, smiling while saying, "To be or...uh...line?"

"Sorry, Surprise. You didn't get the part. Next!"

The next pony to audition is Spike AKA Spykoran who roars right to the camera, making the ponies yelps a bit. The Dragon blinks a bit then say sheepishly, "Wait, isn't this an audition for a medieval story?"

"Sorry, that's next week, Spike. Next!" Megan calls out for the next auditionees.

The next auditionees are Firefly and the original Applejack. The latter is eating apples, much to the annoyance of her friend who snaps, "Applejack, come on! You are ruining my scene here!"

"Hey, excuse me! Ah done miss lunch, Miss Ego Mouth!" The original Applejack snaps as she unintentionally spit out apple chunks into Firefly's place.

"Ugh. Maybe I should get one of the Big Brother Ponies for this. Come to think of it, why did I even bother auditioning a mare to be in a male role anyway?" Megan ask in frustration while slapping her forehead at the failed auditions.

THE END!

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

The audience laughs and applaud, especially the Ponyland ponies who were in the auditions. It's fun to laugh at themselves.

Up front, Flash Sentry was looking into a mirror and humming to himself eagerly. Just then Rarity spoke up, "Why, Flash Sentry!"

Flash yelps as he turns to see Rarity smiling to him, "Oh, Rarity! You startled me."

"Was that you singing just now, darling?"

"Oh, me? Well, hee hee. Yeah, I have been doing a lot of singing. I got a better singing voice."

"No one sings like Boris!" Boris brags as he trots past the two ponies as he heads into the dining room.

Rarity rolls her eyes as she speaks to Flash, "Don't bother about him, he just like to brags like that. Anyway, I know you have been doing some great singing. I've heard you had an amazing range." Of course, Boris chose that time to return.

"No one has a range like Boris!"

Flash roll his eyes as he remarks, "Yeah, I tried to ignore him. Anyway, yeah, I haven't sing in front of ponies yet but I was hoping someday that I will. Any chance you have been on stage yet in case you wish to give me pointers?"

"Well, not yet, really. I was almost on stage once but I trotted off when I found out that Rainbow paid Twilight to get me on there. Not what I wanted truthfully." Rarity explains to Flash with a giggle. "Anyway, you darling deserve to be on stage yourself."

"And maybe someday I will but I wish I got a break."

Unknown to Rarity and Flash, Ben was leaving the restroom when he heard his two friends talking. The son of Celestia pauses, thinking of something. Flash is a good friend of his since foal hood...and he has heard the Pegasus sing a few times before. Ben figures that perhaps Flash should go up on stage to perform. He smiles, having an idea.

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

After introducing the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Twilight heads backstage. Ben came over as he said, "Twilight, time we give an old pal of ours a break."

"What? Give Rarity a vacation? But we're on our second season!" Twilight protests to Ben, misunderstanding what her love meant. "Can't we wait for later to speak about this?"

"No, not vacations and I don't mean Rarity. I mean Flash Sentry and to give him a chance to perform. I have heard him sing many times before and he is really good, Twilight. I think my best friend should go out on stage to perform!"

"Hmmm; you know what? That's a good idea."

Of course, Boris appears from out of nowhere, saying arrogantly, "No one GETS GREAT IDEAS like Boris!"

"Will you get out of the backstage, you dork?! Out, out!" Twilight snaps as she fires blasts at Boris, chasing the arrogant unicorn off. "Honestly, when he isn't stalking me, that creep is an annoying braggart."

"Ugh. Tell me about it." Ben remarked, rolling his eyes at how arrogant his bully/rival can be.

"Well, anyway, I was going to perform a little number on stage but since you said that Flash Sentry got a great voice, I figure we can make it a duet with me and him!"

"Really; Wow, I guess it could work. Though I wonder if Flash would want to take that idea or not."

"Well, time we ask him." Twilight suggests with a grin. She and Ben prepares to go find Flash and see if he likes the duet of doing a duet with her and not.

--------

"So wait, you want me to sing a duet with you, Twilight? Am I hearing this right?" Flash ask Twilight. The mare has told her friend of the idea to sing a duet with him.

"Well..." Twilight begins to say but Flash suddenly cut her off, eagerly hugging the mare before letting go.

"You betcha I would! All right, my big break at last! Thank you, Twilight."

"Huh. I guess that's a yes."

Twilight smiles; the second season is off to a great start...but the mare doesn't know it but something is about to go wrong a bit tonight.

Author's note
Well, Flash Sentry is getting his big break (yes, I know Rarity is in the Daisy role but a pal of mine suggested Flash for this role) but will it be good enough? In the next chapter, it's the first short of the night called 'Rarity's Big Sale'. In it, Ben reluctantly agrees to help Rarity sell hairbows but it may end up being a big disaster for him and those in attendance. Read, review and suggest.

Yes, folks, I did saw Mrs. Cup Cake's new name on a blind bag toy set.
