The Opening Theme
A boy dressed in a Barong Tagalog walks in with a sheet of paper and makes his way to a pulpit in the center of a stage and stood behind it.
"What am I doing here again? Oh right. Readers, this is nightelf37, writer of this little oneshot. This is what I call an AMV in script form. I plan to 'write' the opening theme of RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse. Of course, this is gonna be comparatively more difficult to make than my first one as I'm making it mostly from scratch whereas the first one is basically like the official one but with my original character Chronicle implemented."
Suddenly, said OC emerges onto the stage nightelf37 is on.
"Hi there."
"Chronicle? What are you doing here?"
"Well, Pinkie Pie was supposed to be here as goes for all chapters in your fic, but since this is the Lunaverse..."
"Oh, right. We don't know if she has the same strange "powers" Canon!Pinkie does."
"Anyway..." He then tuns to the readers. "Hello, readers! This idea nightelf37 has might be crazy, but there's a first for everything. Well, this is the second, but anyway... sit back and enjoy."
Now Playing: My Little Pony Theme Song (Lunaverse Version)
{scene opens to reveal the Friendship Express in front of the twilit sky as it pulls into a town, with Trixie Lulamoon sticking her head out of one of its windows as 'camera' slowly pans right}
Trixie Lulamoon: My Little Pony, My Little Pony♪
{Trixie looks bored as steam from the train obscures the screen}
Other singers: Ahh ahh ahh ahhh…♪
{The train's steam clears, revealing Ponyville as the 'camera' pans faster to the right}
Other singers: (My Little Pony)♪
{'Camera' zooms in and enters tunnel vision, and exits it to show the train station}
Trixie Lulamoon: Friendship never meant that much to me♪
{Trixie gets off the train from the right and trots forward to the left of the screen as it them pans left}
Other singers: (My Little Pony)♪
{Close up of Trixie's face as she gives a faint smile}
Trixie Lulamoon: But you're all here and now I can see♪
{Camera turns around to show her friends ahead: (bottom to top, left to right) Carrot Top gives a generous grin, Lyra Heartstrings hops in place once before standing upright and 'summoning' her lyre, Cheerilee gives a cheerful smile, Raindrops giving a general scowl as she hovers upright, and Ditzy Doo making a goofy grin as she stares ahead as best as she could with her crossed-eyes}
Raindrops: Stormy weather♪
{In a sky backdrop, she hovers be a dark storm cloud, which she then bucks; the cloud begins to rain and there is a flash from the lightning that obscures the screen and serves as a screen transition}
Carrot Top: Lots to share♪
{Just in front of her farm, she pulls out a carrot from her garden and tosses it to a large cart she has on the right of the screen; carrots rain from above, and serve as the transition}
Lyra Heartstrings: A musical bond♪
{Inside BonBon's house, she 'rocks out' on her lyre, her marefriend watching in awe; a wavy version of sheet music come out from the left, serving as the transition}
Ditzy Doo: With love and care♪
{In the post office, she—in her mailmare uniform—give Dinky a big hug as they spin around, and letters fly from above as they are scattered and serve as the transition}
Cheerilee: Teaching laughter♪
{In the schoolhouse, Cheerilee points a hoof to a blackboard with diagrams; a blast of glittering blue smoke goes off, serving as the transition}
Trixie Lulamoon: It's an easy feat♪
{As the smoke clears, it reveals Trixie's house a distance behind, with Trixie herself facing the camera with a smile}
Trixie Lulamoon: And magic makes it all complete♪
{'Camera' zooms out to reveal the rest of the gang; to the right are Cheerilee and Lyra, above them is Raindrops, to the left is Carrot Top, and above her is Ditzy Doo; they suddenly try to hug-tackle Trixie, but it turns out to be an illusion; 'camera' zooms out a few further to reveal Trixie close to the 'camera' and on the left side of the screen, laughing at her friends}
Trixie Lulamoon: You have...♪
All: ...my little ponies♪
{Trixie's friends then leap towards her in another attempt to hug-tackle her, which becomes a success as they exit the 'camera''s view; screen then shifts as if there is now a glass pane in front of the 'camera', which zooms out to reveal the scenario being depicted in an ornate magiclal mirror}
Trixie Lulamoon: How'd I ever make so many true…♪
All: …friends?♪
{cut to Princess Luna, who is staring into the mirror and giving a warm smile; cut to the mirror, which now depicts a ponypile; Ditzy at the top with a goofy simper, Raindrops below her giving a reluctant grimace, Cheerilee giving a general smile, Carrot Top below her giving a happy grin, Lyra below her beaming, and Trixie at the bottom half-heartedly flailing while laughing}
{cut to the show's title, which has an added yellow box above reading "Shisno Chronicles", then switches to the text "Made for Television by Lauren Faust", then to the text (in the same format as before) "Alternate universe made for fanfiction by RainbowDoubleDash"; fade to black}
End Song
A movie projector turns off, revealing to have played the opening theme.
"Interesting take on Equestria if I do say so myself.", says Chronicle. "As with all Story Crew members, there happens to be an operative of mine there, but he's 'in the background' unlike me. He's my brother, by the way, and all 'operatives' assigned to every Equestria that has a capital difference from the one I'm in is related to me as we're all in the same family."
"Did you really have to mention all that unnecessary stuff nobody here cares about?"
"Hey, I gotta fill up the thousand-word requirement of this site somehow."
"I see. See ya on Third!"
Chronicle groans. "To this day, I haven't figured out what that means."
Reaction Paper on Dr. Richard Dawkins' paper to his daughter Juliet
Personally, I think Dr. Dawkins' letter is too blunt and while it does not directly attack religion---mostly Christianity---, it can prove to be offensive. While I was raised Catholic, I wasn't insulted from anything in his letter as I seem to have become agnostic, one who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of a deity/deities. Personally, I think I'm more in line on being an agnostic theist as I do believe in God, but I do not claim it as personal knowledge. I think Dawkins' view on evidence is rather spot-on, and---as I've said before---his 'attacks' on tradition, authority, and revelation are rather...strong. He's right about them having no solid bearing. Also, his analogy with language and the sea is rather accurate. I'm afraid that's all I can say.
