Welcome to the Show

Tap-tap went the small index cards shrouded in velvety purple energy against the low wooden podium before the single unicorn smiling on a stage. Clearing her throat, she turned her attention to the camera facing the entirety of the set. "Salutations viewing audience. I am Twilight Sparkle, loyal student and apprentice to Princess Celestia; and your hostess for this wonderful broadcast," reading from index card after index card, she shuffled them behind one another as she finished one off. "Due to a rash of fan-base reception to our day-to-day lives, we here at Equestria have decided to hold a little interview-talkshow for our wonderful viewing public," finally placing her index cards down she gestured a hoof to a large, red couch opposite of her. "Over there, we have our 'Couch of Honesty', whoever sits on the couch must tell the complete and honest truth to what you the viewer send in as a question. In the meantime, all the other ponies will sit out in the audience."

Twilight shuffled through her cards for a second before pulling one out with a shimmer of her horn. "Our first guest will be… Rainbow Dash! So, if you have any questions for our dear, loyal friend Rainbow Dash, don't hesitate to send it in. Who knows? Your question may just be used."

Just then, Spike came shuffling in, sporting a backwards hat and stopping short of Twilight. "Twilight! Did you tell them about the question stuff?"

"The what—Oh!" Twilight's eyes sparked as she recalled her exclusion. "Thank you for reminding me, Spike. That's right; you the viewer will also have the honor of picking out an inquirer for our guest pony. We've picked out four unique ponies to do the questions, so you only need to pick from those four. Well, that's it for now. I hope to see you all at the interview portion of the show when the pony you pick questions our dear Rainbow Dash."


"Yeah, uh... Hi," a little colt with a spotted face looked about, fairly unsure of his surroundings. "Due to, uh, complications. I've been hired to speak on second behalf of Lady Twilight. For those of you that don't know me, I'm Pipsqueak. Now, whut' I'm 'bout to do is tell you a few details that our host missed. Ready? Alright," the colt looked down at a little scrap of paper and started to read off of it. "'Just submit any question you want for our guest to answer.' I would guess we have some post box or something.

"'However, for the interest of EVERYONE please keep it in a "G"-"PG-13" reason.' Don't know what that means, but those of you at home probably do. 'You're all smart people, so you can tell what's pushing it and what's fine.' See? Even my script writer knows what it means. Then 'gain, script writer wrote the script, sooooo--- Moving on.

"'Anyway, let's point out our interviewee and possible interviewers.' Listening out there? This is the actually important stuff here.

"'Interviewee: Rainbow Dash.

"Possible Interviewer: Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Gilda.

"I leave the rest to you.' And... That's it," Pip snapped his head up and smiled as he brushed the paper away. "Simple I think. Anyway, got another internship to get to; won't get into details on that..." Pip mumbled to himself before smiling once more. "Anyway, this has been a rough test. You see, this show has been done once before on another broadcast. The script writer thought it was time to move, but because of some filming restrictions, he's gonna have to use the first interview clip. But don't worry, those of you watching now will get the every one after from there on. Until next time."
