10. Act Three Chapter 1

ACT THREE: Children of Harmony

Chapter 1: Preparation

Scene 1: Canterlot Castle, Morning, Dining hall

Celestia: Good Morning!

(Newton groaned. Not because of tiredness, but the seemingly optimistic expression that everyone's been giving him.)

Newton: What's for breakfast?

Celestia: Pancakes with berries and whipped cream!

Newton: Really? No sides?

Celestia: Excuse me?

Newton: We do have pancakes back in the Storm King's realm, but we serve that along with eggs and bacon. We also use two pancakes instead of four you have here.

Celestia: Eggs?

Luna: Bacon?

Newton: We serve eggs and bacon along with the pancakes you have here.

Galaxy: I really don't know what those things are.

Newton: Where's Cadance and Flurry by the way?

Celestia: They should be down for breakfast now.

(Newton didn't want to be rude, the next thing he knew he was eating pancakes that were too sweet.)

Scene 2: Canterlot Castle, Grand Hall

(Sometime later…)

Female Unicorn: A little to the left. That's it!

Female Pegasus: That's where you said to put it last time!

Galaxy: I got the silverware!

(Galaxy trips.)

Galaxy: Oof! Oh no!

(The silver ware was flying. Until it was caught by Flurry.)

Flurry: There we go.

Female Unicorn(teasing): Klutz.

Female Pegasus(teasing): She thinks she's so useful.

(Flurry used her magic to drop some boxes on them.)

Female Unicorn: Oof!

Galaxy: Good one!

(Flurry and Galaxy both laughed. Newton walked into the scene.)

Newton: What's going on?

Flurry: The princesses asked us to throw a party. It's the "Welcome back, Cadance and Flurry Heart" party.

(Newton cringed at the ridiculous name. Flurry looks around.)

Flurry Heart: Where's Twilight?

Newton: She left to go on an important mission. And I don't know why you didn't say that until now. She won't be back for a while.

Flurry Heart: Oh, I thought she would like this.

(The Princesses along with Cadance walked in.)

Cadance: What is this?

Flurry Heart: Our welcome back Party!

Cadance: No parties! Absolutely not!

Flurry Heart: Please, Mom?

(Galaxy and Flurry got on their knees and begged. Cadance sighed in defeat.)

Cadance: I'm only coming here because of you. Got that?

Flurry Heart: Oh thank you, Mom!

Luna: Newton, would you mind to head to Sweet Apple Acres to pick up the food?

Newton: Yes, Luna.

Scene 3: Sweet Apple Acres

(Newton walked into Sweet Apple Acres. A male pony with strange eyes walked up to him.)

?: Well Howdy! What brings you to Sweet Apple Acres?

Newton: Who are you?

?: I'm Applespike.

Newton: Apple- who?

Applespike: Applespike.

Newton: Wait a minute, Apple? Spike?

Applespike: Yep.

(Newton thought about it for a while.)

Newton: Do you happen to know Applejack?

Applejack: Yeah, she was my great grandmom. And Spike was her husband. Why say that?

Newton: This can't be...

Applespike: What can't be?

Newton: You're the son of a dragon?

(Newton regretted saying that sentence after witnessing his appetite for gemstones. He passed out in stupidity.)
