In the forest

Thorax was leading Twilight to the restaurant "I know it's around here, somewhere. Ah there it is the snuggly duckling." Said Thorax showing her the restaurant in front of them.

"Don't worry, very quaint place, perfect for you. Don't want you scaring and giving up on this whole endeavor now do we?"

"Well I do like ducklings." Said Twilight.

"Yay"

Then Thorax opened the door to the snuggling duckling and said "Garcon, your finest table please"

Twilight gasped when she looked inside because there were many big stallion thugs in there and they were looking at them.

Twilight aimed her frying pan at them and Thorax slowly pushed her inside "You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose." Said Thorax as he took a deep breath "Really let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, it's part man smell and the other part is really bad man smell. I don't know why, but overall, it just smells like the colour brown. Your thoughts?" He asked.

Spike hid behind Twilight's hair because he was afraid of the thugs.

Then one of the thugs grabbed her hair and said "That's a lot of hair." And Twilight was pulling her hair away from the stallion thug.

"She's growing it out, Is that blood on your moustache? Twilight, look at this, look at all the blood on his moustache. Look sir, that's a lot of blood."

When Twilight was backing away she accidentally bumped into one of the thugs back and the thug growled at her "Hey, you don't look so good Twilight. Maybe we should get you home and call it a day. Probably be better off. This is a five star joint after all and if you can't handle this place, well maybe you should be back in your tower" Said Thorax dragging Twilight to the exit but one of the thugs closed the door and he placed a wanted paper on the door.

"Is this you?" Asked the thug.

Then Thorax slowly removed the thugs hoof from the paper and saw that the paper has him in it and his nose was long "No, no this is being mean."

"Oh, it's him alright. Gretel go find some thugs" Said the hook hoofed thug.

"On it." Said Gretel running to find some thugs.

"That reward's going to buy me a new hook."

Then another thug grabbed him and said "I can use the money."

"What about me? I'm broke." Said a thug with a hat holding him and many thugs began stealing him.

"Boys stop!" Said Twilight.

"We can work this out." Said Thorax but the thugs were surrounding him.

"Hey leave him alone." Said Twilight trying to get through them but she couldn't cause they were too big.

"Gentlecolts, please." Said Thorax but one of the thugs covered his face with his hoof.

"Give me back my guide, ruffians." Said Twilight hitting the thugs with her frying pan but it didn't work.

Then one of the thugs swinged his hoof and was about to hit Thorax, when Twilight saw this she wrapped her hair on a handle on the roof and pulled her hair.

"Not the nose, not the nose, not the nose!"

Then Twilight broke the handle with her hair and the handle fell on the hook hoofed thug and the rest of the thugs looked at him in shock.

"Put him down!"

Then the hook hoofed thug turned around and glared at her "Okay, I don't know where I am, and I need him to take me to see the lanterns, because I've been dreaming about them my entire life." Said Twilight as she took a deep breath from talking too fast "Find your bright side. Haven't any of you ever had a dream?" She finished.

Then the hook hoofed stallion thug unsheathed his axe on his back and walked up to her and said "I, had a dream." Said the thug as he threw his axe to a wall over a stallion with an instrument and had a ball chain on his hoof and he began playing his instrument and Thorax was looking at him while being hanged on his back.

Hook hoofed thug: I'm malicious, mean and scary. My sneer could curdle dairy. And violence-wise, my hooves are not the cleanest. But despite my evil look and my temper and my hook. I've always yearned to be a concert pianist.

*Piano playing*

Hook hoofed thug: Can't you see me on the stage performing Mozart. Tickling the ivories till they gleam. Yep I'd rather be called deadly for my killer show tune medley. Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream.

Thugs: He's got a dream. He's got a dream.

Hook hoofed thug: See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem.

When the hook hoofed thug was playing the piano he accidentally hit a thug next to him and he fell on the ground.

Hook hoofed thug: Though I do like breaking femurs. You can count me with the dreamers. Like everybody else I've got a dream.

The thugs were dancing to the song and Spike was next to two dancing rats and they asked him to join them dance but he refused.

Outside of the snuggling duckling. Mother Gothel heard some singing in the restaurant so she decided to go see what was going to in there.

Thug with hat: I've got scars and lumps and bruises. Plus something here that oozes. And let's not even mention my complexion. But despite my dirty hooves and my muzzle. I really want to make a live connection. Can't you see me with a special little mare. Rowing in a rowboat down the stream. Though I'm one disgusting blighter. I'm a lover, not a fighter. Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream. I've got a dream.

Thugs: He's got a dream.

Thug with hat: I've got a dream.

Thugs: He's got a dream.

Thug with hat: And I know one day romance will reign supreme. Though my face leaves people screaming. There's a foal behind it dreaming. Like everypony else I've got a dream.

Thug: Toll would like to quit and be a florist. Gunther does interior design. If is into mime. Attila's cupcakes are sublime. Bruiser knits. Killer sews. Fang does little puppet shows.

Hook hoofed thug: And Vladimir collects.ceramic unicorns.

Then the thugs looked at Thorax and asked "What about you?"

"I'm sorry me?"

"What's your dream?" Asked the thug with a hat as he grabbed him and placed him on the floor.

"No, no, no. Sorry boys, I don't sing." Said Thorax then the thugs pointed swords at him.

Thorax: I have dreams like you. No, really just much less touchy-feely. They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny.

Then Thorax grabbed Vladimir's ceramic unicorn and placed it on a sand.

Thorax: On an island that I own. Tanned and rested and alone. Surrounded by enormous piles of bits.

Twilight Sparkle: I've got a dream.

Thugs: She's got a dream.

Twilight Sparkle: I've got a dream.

Thugs: She's got a dream

Twilight Sparkle: I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam. And with every passing hour I'm so glad I left my tower. Like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream.

Thugs: She's got a dream. He's got a dream. They've got a dream. We've got a dream. So our differences ain't really that extreme. We're one big team. Call us brutal, sick, sadistic and grotesquely optimistic. Cause way down deep inside we've got a dream! I've got a dream, I've got a dream, I've got a dream. Yes way down deep inside I've got a dream. Yeah!
