Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

Episode 11 - Part 7

Epilogue

Doctor: There’s more?

Ditzy: Can you have an epilogue after giving ‘The End’?

“So the prince has awoken.” A dark voice said. “I'm pleased with your efforts, Nightmare.”

Doctor: (Voice) Despite your inability to actually accomplish something.

Nightmare stood with her head down, quiet. “But what do you plan to do now? The prince knows about his power .”

Ditzy: Maybe you should have taken my advice and turned him to the dark side before giving him his powers.

Doctor: You can turn off his powers whenever you want, remember?

Nightmare didn't raise her head. “He has still forgotten about his time on the human world.

Doctor: Has he? I can’t be quite sure.

I can possibly use that against him.....”

“No!” The dark voice boomed.

Doctor: (Voice) Brooding over your parents’ deaths can been done to death.

Ditzy: (Voice) It will motivate him into becoming...batpony! Er...Bat...person. Or whatever he is.

Nightmare fliched as the dark voice continued. “You will not be returning to Equestria. I know some others that will “distract” the prince from trying to recover his past.”

Ditzy: (Voice) We’ll get him hooked on Minecraft.

Doctor: That fiend!

Nightmare said, “That what shall I do?”

Doctor: (Voice) Do my laundry.

Ditzy: (Voice) Organize my Hocuspocus: The Get-Together cards.

“You shall watch and wait. You will think of a way to make the prince yours.

Ditzy: I really don’t like the way that is phrased. It sounds sleazy.

Only then can our plan succeed.

Doctor: (Voice) We...don’t really have any other ideas.

When we have control of the Cutie Stamp, then our plans will finally be completed.”

Doctor: First Equestria, then the world. ect. ect.

Ditzy: What is so great about the Cutie Stamp? It’s a useful power sure, but it isn’t that powerful.

Nightmare raised her head. “You may go Nightmare.” The voice said, “I will call for you when I need you to return.” Nightmare turned and walked away.

As she reached the doorway, she turned her head and said, “Thank you......Father.”

All: (Gasps)

Doctor: What a twist!

Ditzy: Now we can go!

Doctor: Let’s get out of here.

Star Shot was watching the monitor with a bored expression on her face. The Doctor and Ditzy weren’t doing much. They were just reading silently, and only occasionally saying something to each other . Star Shot was really hoping they would try something. She stirred slightly when she heard the door of the control room open. “Hey. Have fun?”  She turned around to face Dinky and recoiled in shock when she got a good look at her. Dinky’s mane was frazzled and the edges of it were singed, half of her tail was burned off, and she was, for some reason, covered head to hoof in maple syrup. Leaves, garbage, and other little things stuck to her all over. She looked furious.                

“Don’t ask.” She said harshly.

Star Shot recovered after a few moments. “Sure. Looks like you had yourself an eventful day.”

“Never again!” Dinky proclaimed. That was the last time she was ever going crusading with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. She wasn’t even sure that she even wanted to speak to them again. Those three fillies are a menace. Even if she got her Cutie Mark, it won’t be have been worth it. Because of them, Aunty Punch won’t let her into her juice bar ever again.

Star Shot smirked. “Doesn’t look like you’re going to have a slumber party with the Cutie Mark whatevers anytime soon.”

“Please tell me things went alright on your end.” The way Dinky’s day was going; she was sure her parents escaped or something.

“They’ve been behaving themselves like perfect little angels.” Star Shop confirmed. “The experiment went off without hitch.”

Dinky sighed in relief. “Good.”

“You really need to be more careful. Those little brats were almost on to you.” Star Shot gestured with a hoof. “You know what’s at stake. One little mistake and ‘Poof’, you’re gone just like your big sister.”

Dinky’s eyes widened at this and she immediately went into a downtrodden expression. Her ears drooped and tears started gathering at the corners of her eyes and threatened to fall. “Amethyst…” She said quietly.

Star Stop backpedaled at this. “Um, of course, not like that’s going to happen or anything!” She said trying to recover the situation. “Everything will be fine. The Cutie Mark whatevers didn’t catch on and the plan is running smoothly. So why worry?”

Dinky just nodded. She wiped the tears from her eyes and composed herself the best she could. She need to be strong for her parents’ and sister’s sake.

“See. No worries. Go get yourself cleaned up. I’ll put a pizza in the oven.”

Dinky nodded and walked out the door. Dinky grumbled to herself as she made her way to her room.  Getting all this junk off of her will take forever. What’s worse is now her beautiful tail is ruined.  Her mane was salvageable, but her tail will have to be cut short. This was a look Dinky absolutely despised. She will have to find some way to get back at the Crusaders for this.

“Happy reeeeeeeeeeeallly late birthday!” I yelled.
