Chap. 2: The Toon Town Opera House
(The Train arrived at the Toontown train station. The girls got off the train while the guide takes their lungles to where they'll stay.)
Rainbow: Yeah! phew, I thought we never get here.
Pinkie: Oh come on Rainbow Dash, train rides are fun!
Rainbow: Yeah, in your opinion.
Twilight: Is this it Creative?
Creative: Yep, Welcome to Cartoonaroll!
(Creative show them the huge city of Toon Town as they walk around the city.)
Applejack: Whoa Nelly!, this place is bigger than Manehattian itself!
Rarity: Oh my, It's what i imagine it to be.
(Mariposa run to them with a guide book in her hand.)
Mariposa: Hey guys! I found a guide book, it said here this place was created by the mayor father, Walt Disney.
Twilight: Walt Disney? Creative, have you seen him?
Creative: No, he died many years ago.
Twilight: Oh, sorry I bring it up.
Creative: That's ok, I never seen him.
Mariposa: It also said here they have many festivals.
Pinkie: I love festivals!
Mariposa: Good food in different shapes and sizes.
Applejack: Really?
Mariposa: Yeah, famous Toons.
Rainbow: Love to meet them.
Mariposa: And also astounding performers like musicians, dancers, comedians, actors, actress and singers. And they have famous singers like The Chipmunks and... huh?
(Mariposa stop as she read the next phragmatic of the guide book. Rarity went up to her in worry.)
Rarity: What is it dear?
Mariposa: It said here that there a really famous Rock Star name Billy Joe Cobra.
Rarity: Really?(look at the guide book and see a paragraph of a Toon name Billy Joe Cobra) Well I do must say he sure is handsome for a Toon.
(Twilight went to them in confusions.)
Twilight: What are you two looking? (look at the guide book and see the picture of Billy) Hey Creative, do you know this Toon name Billy Joe Cobra?
(Creative stop her tracks when she heard that name, as if she knew something about him. She turn to see the gangs.)
Creative: Uh...no, I don't know this Toon.
(The girls look at her like she has something she's hiding, and really something that is very important.)
Pinkie: Are you hiding something from us again?
Creative: Uh...no.
Applejack: Come on sugarcube, I know ya're bad at lying and I should know.
Creative: I'm not hiding anything honest!
Twilight: Creative, we're your friends, you can tell us anything. Now do you know this Toon?
(Creative look at her friends, seeing them as if they're asking her. Creative signed in defect.)
Creative: Yes, I know him. In fact, I know him for a long time.
Rainbow: You do? How do you know him?
Creative: Because.. he and I use to be best friends.
Group: WHAT?!
(The gang is shocked to hear that Creative use to have a best friend, and it's a Toon.)
Pinkie: You two use to be best friends?!
Creative: Yes, he was the only Toon who doesn't judge me for my wings and doesn't think very unlike from me, And he been very kind to me. We been friends since we were young.
Fluttershy: You two been friends when you were a foal?
Spike: How did it happen?
Creative: It's a long story.
Mariposa: Tell us everything.
(Creative look at the gang, she knew she can't get away from them with her personal life. She gave in and tell her story.)
Creative: (sigh) Ok
It all started when I first came to Cartoonaroll as a foal. Mom came here for a meeting with The Disney Brothers, Mickey and Oswald. As a foal, I wasn't the free spirited, brave mare I am today, I was very timid and afraid. Mom want me to come to Cartoonaroll because it would be a great chance to see a new land, but I wasn't sure about this place because it has Toons that I first thought are not like Ponies.
(10 years ago)
(A train came to the Toontown train station, Princess Celestia came out of the train with a stack of paper in her hand. She turn around facing the train.)
Celestia: Creative, you can come out now. There nothing to be afraid of.
(Outcomes Creative Spirit as a young preteen pony, looking around shyley.)
Creative: But Mom, I'm not sure about this place.
Celestia: Don't worry, this is a safe land like our home.
Creative: But those things, they're not like us.
Celestia: They are call Toons.
Creative: Toons?
Celestia: Yes, the Toons have a ability to make themselves wacky to make everyone laugh and smile. And I think you'll love them.
Creative: I don't know Mom, what if they judge me too quick for my wings and know I think not like them?
(Celestia take Creative to the Toon Town Park where the toon kids play.)
Celestia: Creative, there is nothing wrong with your wings. You are born as a pegasus, and they would never judge you for that and of you not thinking like them. They're nice and friendly, they love new company and I think it's a good way of making some friends. Think you can do this?
Creative: I'll try.
Celestia: Good. You go to the park, I have to meet Mickey and his brother now. I'll meet you there when I'm done, have fun and make new friends.
(Creative went to the park to meet the kids and make friends with them just as her mother ask her.)
Creative: (voices over) Mom thought making new friends will calm me down, even if you have to do it with the Toons. But when I try to be nice and be a friend, they do what all foals did, Treat me like a freak.
(Creative goes to two female Toon to make friends with them.)
Creative: Hi, I'm Creative Spirit!
(The Toon girls look at her mean and funny looking. And then they leave.)
Toon girl: Uh hi. What a freak.
Toon girl: Those wings are so last season!
(They left as Creative watch them, feeling treated bad again. Creative sat on the edge starting to cry.)
Creative: (voice over) I was having a really bad day about making friends, all the Toon kids treat me just like all the foals from my I was about to give up and start to cry, I felt something behind me, I turn to see a preteen Toon boy looking at first I thought he was going to say hurt words at me, but instead he said..
(Creative turn around and see a young Toon boy looking at her.)
Billy: What's wrong?
Creative: I was trying to make friends like Mom told me, but all the Toons treat me like a freak and make fun of my wings.
Billy: Really? they're treating you like a freak because of your wings?
Creative: Mhm(nod)
(Billy sat down next to Creative, listening to her.)
Billy: Well, maybe they never got the chance to know you that's all.
Creative: Know me?
Billy: Yeah, they just being a bunch of spoiled brats. But real Toons like me never treat our guest like you a freak, that is our number one golden rule.
Creative: Really? you don't treat me like a freak cause of I'm a pony?
Billy: No way! why would you think that?
Creative: Cause I'm afraid you'll judge me for my wings and I don't think like you.
Billy: I would never judge you for your wings and what you think. as long as you don't judge me too quickly. So wipe those tears, they'll ruined your pretty face.
Creative: (giggle) I'm Creative Spirit.
Billy: My name is Baruch Cohen, but I like to be call Billy Joe Cobra.
(Creative and Billy become great friends for many months and weeks every time Creative visit. They made great friends too.)
Creative:(voice over) He would never judge me for my wings and what I think as long as I don't for him. After that, we became friends, even the best. We did everything together when I came to Cartoonaroll and when I show him my cutie mark and my talent, he got more excited.
(Creative fly through the sky, as her new paint coated wings leave a trail of paint while Billy watch. When Creative is done, she flew down to Billy.)
Billy: That was awesome!I'm so proud that you found your special talent!
Creative: And I also got my cutie mark! I hope you get your own when you perform your music Snakey Tune.
Billy: Yeah I'm counting on it Rainbow Wings. What's wrong?
(Billy noticed Creative is looking a little down and out of place.)
Creative: Do you think they'll make more fun of me cause I got paint in my wings?
Billy: I don't think so, the paint on your wings are like a paintbrush and I'm sure they'll love your special talent.
Creative: Really?
Billy: Absolutely! but for some strange reason, you look more like a feather hat!(laugh)
Creative: Ha ha, very funny Snakey Tune.
(Creative and Billy walk off to town.)
Creative:(voice over) Then when I learn I'm adopted and have to find where I came from,I have no choice but to say goodbye.
(Creative stop at Cartoonaroll to say goodbye to her friends, especially Billy. Billy is a little sad that Creative is leaving to find out where she come from.)
Billy: You're leaving?
Creative: Yeah, I need to find my true home.
(Billy sigh in sadness, doesn't want his best friend to leave.)
Billy: Well then, I guess I won't see you again
Creative: Maybe, but can you promise me something?
Billy: Sure, what?
Creative: If you reach fame and I find my home, can you make a song for us to sing? just to show our friendship.
Billy: I promise.
(Creative and Billy hug each other.)
Creative: Thanks Snakey Tune, Good bye.
Billy: Goodbye, Rainbow Wings.
(Billy watch Creative flew off, looking very sad and somehow lonely too. As years pass, Creative look around the world to find her true home. Creative flew to Cartoonaroll to find Billy.)
Creative: (voice over) After looking across the world for years, I decided to go back to Equestria but not without seeing Billy again. I came to Cartoonaroll hoping to see him again, but then something happen, something that broke my heart forever..
(When Creative enter Cartoonaroll, she saw the news show on the top of Cartoonaroll News Tower and see the news of what happened that broke her so badly.)
(Present)
Applejack: B-Billy
Rainbow: Joe
Pinkie: Cobra
Mariposa: Is
Rarity: Dead!?
Creative: Yes, at first I don't want to know he's gone, but he is and I'll never see him again. He was my only friend.
(Creative look very sad about Billy death. She remember that day of seeing the news, hearing her best friend dead and never going back. Twilight feel sad about Creative losing her best friend, she would feel the same if one of her friends die. Twilight went to Creative.)
Twilight: I'm sorry you lost him, but you got new friends like us and we accept you. And I'm sure he's up in heaven watching you having a better life.
Creative: Thanks Twilight.
(Creative and Twilight hug each other.)
Pinkie: Yeah, we're always there for you! Now come on, we got to get to the opera house!
Twilight: Pinkie's right, we gotta get going. Come on girls!
(The girls continued their way to the opera house, Creative stay behind as she look up in the sky.)
Creative: ( I wish you were here right now, I miss you more than death itself.)
(Then they arrive their directions, as they see the house itself. It's a big white opera house, in fact it was ten times bigger than their own opera house back in Equestria.)
Spike: Is this it?
Creative: Eyup!
Pinkie: Last one to the door is a slow pock!
(Pinkie race to the door to the house while the others run to house. They went inside the grand house, they are amazed of the house itself.)
Rainbow: Whoa! This place is pretty big!
(Then they heard a loud noise that scared Fluttershy.)
(CRASH!)
Fluttershy: (gasp) What was that?
(Then they heard a voice coming their way, in fact they heard three voices.)
Voice: HA HA!
Voice2: You guys get back here right now!
Voice3: I like to see you try! Faster!
Voice2: I'm gonna tell Mickey that you two are slacking off again!
Voice: Ha ha! Yeah right, like we're going to believe it!
Voice2: I'M SERIOUS!
(Then out of the rush, a pink starfish name Patrick with a raccoon name Rigby come out while riding on a rug. Behind them is a tall Toon name The Once-ler chase them.)
Patrick: WOO HOO!
The Once-ler: Get back here!
Rigby: Never!
(Then The Once-ler slip from running too fast.)
(SLIP)
The Once-ler: Whoo Whoo!
(CRASH!)
(And fell down. The boys stop as they watch The Once-ler fall.)
Rigby: Ha Ha, Looks like The Great Once-ler have finally fallen down.
(The Once-ler get up and continued his chase and the boys get the rug moving again.)
The Once-ler: Grrr, you boys are gonna be in so much trouble!
Rigby: Come and get us old men!
(Meanwhile the pony gangs watch the crazy show they witness in confused expect Creative.)
Pinkie: Those are Toons?
Creative: Eyup.
The Once-ler: I'm not kidding you guys!
Twilight: (sigh)
(Twilight use her magic then Creative notice what she's doing.)
Creative: Uh Twilight, what are you doing?
Twilight: Helping the tall Toon.
Patrick: WOO HO...
(The rug stop and they are lifted by Twilight magic.)
Patrick: What the?
Rigby: Hey! What's going on here?!
(Then The Once-ler catch up to them, getting tired from all that running while chasing them.)
The Once-ler: Well, about time I catch up with you two. And when did you two learn how to float?
(Twilight and her friend walk to The Once-ler.)
Twilight: Sorry, this is my fault. Just thought I can help you catch up with them.
The Once-ler: Well, you sure save me some trouble dealing with these two.
Twilight: It's no trouble sir. I'm Twilight Sparkle, the new princess of Equestria, these are my friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Mariposa. And this is Spike, and I hope you know my dearest friend Creative Spirit.
(The Once-ler look at Creative, then his eyes widen.)
The Once-ler: You're Creative Spirit? Billy talk a lot about you.
(Creative is surprised to hear that Billy has talk about her alot, she thought he forgot about her.)
Creative: He have? what did he say about me?
The Once-ler: Something about you being his only friend, more prettier than all the girls he met, and have the most amazing talent ever. But enough of that. Welcome to Cartoonaroll, I'm The Once-ler, and this is Rigby and Patrick. Say hello boys.
Rigby & Patrick: Hello.
Pinkie: Hello!
(Rigby and Patrick look at Pinkie funny looking, really surprised about her attitude.)
Creative: You guys just can't stop goofing off, can you?
The Once-ler: No apparently they can't. So what brings you ladies here in The Opera House?
Mariposa: We receive a letter from Mickey, asking for help for your musical.
The Once-ler: Oh yes he did! I have your work assignment filled out all ready. But would you like a tour of the opera house itself?
Rarity: Yes, that would be delightful. What do all you think?
Twilight: Sure, At least we'll be able to find ourself around here.
The Once-ler: Great! We'll get started on it right away, but first, Twilight could you put them down please?
Twilight: Sure.
(Twilight use her magic to lower Rigby and Patrick down, letting them touch the floor.)
The Once-ler: Thank you.
(The Once-ler turn his attention on them.)
The Once-ler: Now I want you two not to leave the stage without permission and no slacking off, we have an important time schedule to keep. Understand?
Rigby & Patrick: Yes sir.
The Once-ler: Good, now go back to the stage.
(Rigby and Patrick went away from the girls. The Once-ler turn to the girls.)
The Once-ler: So are you all ready?
Twilight: Yeah, I think we are.
The Once-ler: Splendid, now follow me please.
(They follow The Once-ler while he give them a tour of the house.)
The Once-ler: Many years ago, Walt decided to build a grand opera house for musical lovers and famous performers. We have gotten many singers and actors every year some say cause they want to make this grand house their home. This place become such a huge hit, we gain a lot of money to give it a upgrade and make it more grander than Walt could imagine.
Rarity: And I do say, It is truly magnificent! (Look around the grand marble pier)
Fluttershy: It is ni..AAHHH!
(Fluttershy past through the girls and hide in the plant pot.)
Twilight: Fluttershy?!
Mariposa: Fluttershy, what's wrong?
Fluttershy: That. (Point at the thing that scared her.)
Rainbow: What? huh?
(The gangs saw a huge statue of a man in a mask, wearing a cape draped over his whole body except the head.)
Rainbow: A statue?
Applejack: Sure is big.
Rainbow: No kidding.
(Creative stare at the statue, as if she seen this man before. She feel drawn to it.)
Creative: (Why does that statue remind me of something? wait, is that) The Phantom?
Twilight: The who?
Creative: The Phantom, he's a mask musical genius who live in the underground of the opera house and teach Christine how to sing. I think I saw the musical with my mom, but why is the statue of him in this house?
The Once-ler: I'm not sure, I heard it was build before Walt death and strange things happen here.
Mariposa: Strange things? like what?
The Once-ler: Well, we been received letters from someone name "The Opera Ghost", some of the sets have been sabotaged and landed on some of the actors and actress, and hear music somewhere in this area.
Spike: Letter from The Opera Ghost? Sabotaged? and Music? Are you saying..
The Once-ler: We think it's Erik, The Phantom of the Opera himself.
Group: (GASP!)
(The gangs are shocked to hear that this grand opera house is haunted by the most dangerous and deformed man in the world,)
Pinkie: The opera house is HAUNTED!
Rainbow: But that's impossible, I thought he was just a character.
Fluttershy: I knew coming here was a bad idea!
Rarity: Is he watching us!? Oh please tell me he's not watching us!
Spike: Don't worry Rarity, I won't let that monster come near you!
Twilight: Guys, come on! There's no such thing as The Phantom of the Opera!
The Once-ler: We're not sure if he's real or not. All Toons became afraid when they heard the news, but not the singers, they love his work and some said they are visit by his spirit, teaching them the work of his genius and making them sing better. He also consider them his student, but only one is his favorite.
Creative: And who is that?
Voice: None other than Cartoonaroll popular star, Billy Joe Cobra!
(They heard a voice coming from the right entrance. Out come a Toon man with blond hair, green eyes, wear a green shirt, black jacket, blue pants and black shoes.)
The Once-ler: Sir, are you supposed to be in the stage with the others?
Erick: I was, til I heard you're giving these lovely ladies a tour of this house.
(Creative feel something unnatural about this Toon. She went to him to make sure.)
Creative: And who are you?
Erick: Erick Willsten, at you service my dear. And what a raving beauty like you doing here?
Creative: Uh...I'm here to help?
Mariposa: Did you say Billy is Erik student?
Erick: Yes I did, ever since The Phantom came here, Billy been willing to be taking under his wings and learn the way of his music.
Pinkie: Wait, Creative, isn't Billy your best friend?
Erick: So your Creative Spirit? I heard you are the most beautiful girl ever.
Creative: Me? beautiful? no I'm not, but Mariposa is.
(Erick look at Mariposa, she smile to be friendly. But Erick put a sour look on his face.)
Erick: Of course she is.
Creative: So is he really The Phantom student?(Turn to The Once-ler.)
The Once-ler: Yes he is, he been learning alot from him and got very good at it too. Till one day he...
Creative: Till what?
(Creative noticed The Once-ler stop his track. Then she realized what he meant to say.
Creative: Wait you know how he die?!
The Once-ler: We don't, all we know is..
Erick: He mysteriously die.
(Creative turn her head at Erick when she heard him about Billy death. She look very sad.)
Creative: WHAT?!
Erick: Yes my dear. after he die, we never heard or listen to The Phantom heavenly tunes.
(Creative hug herself and lower herself down, feeling broken about her best friend.)
Erick: I'm terribly sorry, he must be very important to you.
Creative: He is.
The Once-ler: Well, enough of this. Let's continue with the tour.
( They continued the tour as Erick tag along.)
