A/N: On some level I dod think that Princess Celestia should've waited until her pet bird got better on its' own, and I did see Blue Bonnet's review on Over a Barrel and I'm just going to ignore it, let it slid off my back like water off the back of a duck. And those are strange vultures to randomly show up like that, but that can happen in the fictional world a lot, can't it?
(A Bird in the Hoof: Deleted Scene 3: Unexpected arrivals?!)
*Twilight and Sunrise...(yes I'm adding Sunrise in! So what? Ever since Berry Dreams showed up, I've been worried about other reviewers reading this only to discover certain scenes are a lot like the original from Hasbro whose name Sunrise, Timon and Pumbaa curse and post another ''criticism'' review and make you down again. And you just got another review on Over a Barrel from another guest reviewer called Blue Bonnet that at the end says something that sounds a tad similar to what Berry Dreams said! I'm adding Sunrise in this scene for REASONS here! Plus, it's on the tapes so calm down!) are visiting Fluttershy's cottage.*
Twilight Sparkle: Hiya Flutters. Thought we should drop by and say a huge thank you for making a good impression on Celestia.
Sunrise Blossom: Twilight, don't you think maybe since becoming her student, you've been a bit TOO obsessed with the princess? I mean, it's as if you only care about her of yourself or something. I mean, it's as if you don't WANT your ''friends'' to be around her considering how nervous you were about everypony misbehaving around her earlier or how you thought that if they misbehaved they'd be sent to the moon along with you too for bringing them to the brunch. Seriously, WHAT. IS. YOUR. PROBLEM?
Twilight Sparkle: Can't we discuss this later...(notices Philomena and gasps) WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS CELESTIA IS CELESTIA'S PET DOING HERE?
Fluttershy: Feeling sick? That's why she's here? 'Cause I'm taking care of her? That's what I do with all animals?
Sunrise Blossom: Aw, isn't that sweet of you, Fluttershy?
Twilight Sparkle: SWEET?! MORE LIKE HORRIFYING! Fluttershy, how could you? She clearly does NOT belong to YOU! WHAT. WERE. YOU. THINK...
Sunrise Blossom: (whacks Twilight on the head with a hammer she found out of nowhere which is a common gag on Timon and Pumbaa's show) Twilight, shut up! Even if she may have taken Celestia's pet without asking, I'm sure it was for a good reason. She even said the reason herself.
Fluttershy: Yeah. Besides, I couldn't leave the poor thing here. She needed my help. How could I just walk away without doing anything?
Twilight Sparkle: But...
Sunrise Blossom: She's right you know, sister. She DOES look pretty sick if you ask me.
Twilight Sparkle: YOU'RE TAKING HER SIDE?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Sunrise Blossom: WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?!
Twilight Sparkle: (calms down immediately just after that) Okay, fine. I'll admit your intentions are very nice but you've GOT to take princess's pet back!
Sunrise Blossom: You just want her to take Philomena back to the princess just so she doesn't send her and YOU to the moon as punishment?
Twilight Sparkle: (stuff Philomena into a basket and puts it on Fluttershy's back) Why are you so mean to me all of a sudden, Sunny Bunny?
Sunrise Blossom: Don't call me that, Quesadilla hater!
Twilight Sparkle: I DON'T hate quesadillas! Now come on! If we hurry then maybe we can put her back before anypony notices she's missing. (Opens the door to reveal the two Vulture Police from the Timon and Pumbaa TV show)
Timon: (pausing the scene) Oh no! Not those two guys again!
Sunrise Blossom: Wait, you know those two vulture policemen thingies?
Pumbaa: Yep. They've appeared everywhere we go. Sometimes, they can be very nice like that one time they tried to help us catch a raccoon by the name ''Theif'' who took our briefcase full of valuables.
Timon: Other times they're against us or arresting us for breaking the law like scratching my back with a Forbidden Stick or arresting because that lyin' no good Toucan Dan framed us by telling them WE stole a train car full of beak polish!
Pumbaa: Plus, they talk pretty fast that it's almost hard to understand what they're saying.
Sunrise Blossom: Well, they were talking a bit fast when they came to visit us. (Continues the scene by pressing button on remote)
Vulture 1: Word on the street is Celestia's pet bird Philomena escaped.
Vulture 2: You have to have seen her.
Vulture 1: So don't give us any guff.
Vulture 2: She's in big trouble.
Vulture 1: You will be too.
Vulture 2: That is even you don't tell us where she is.
Vulture 1: And the amount of trouble YOU'RE gonna be in will increase exponentially.
Vulture 2: Yeah. Whatever that means.
Vulture 1: Shall we go into more detail?
Vulture 2: Nah. Too gruesome.
Fluttershy: I have never seen Philomena before in my entire life and I would never take Celestia's things without asking her first. (Twilight slaps Fluttershy's face) Ouch! I mean uh, Philomena is not a bird that looks sick or like it needs care-taking... (Twilight slaps Fluttershy again) Ouch! I mean I wish Twilight would just stop slapping me...(gets slapped in the face again) Ouch! I mean we don't know what you're talking about! (Hears Philomena coughing from inside the basket)
Vulture 2: So, her name's Philomena.
Vulture 1: I don't suppose she's nearby somewhere.
Vulture 2: Maybe in that basket?
Vulture 1: What about the pegasus?
Vulture 2: What ABOUT the pegasus?
Vulture 1: Think she'll show us the basket?
Vulture 2: Hey pegasus, you gonna show us the basket?
Fluttershy: (nervously) I don't know what you mean. There's nothing in this basket.
Vulture 1: Well then who was coughing?
Vulture 2: Yeah like just now?
Twilight Sparkle: (pretending to cough while standing right next to Fluttershy along with Sunrise) Don't worry boys. It's only me. (Coughs some more while glaring at Sunrise signalling her to cough too) It's that dry night air.
Sunrise Blossom: Psst, isn't it, you know, daytime?
Fluttershy: Yeah. I mean, look out the window.
Vulture 1: Definitely daytime here.
Vulture 2: Nighttime isn't until much later when the sun goes down.
Twilight Sparkle: Well...day air's even dryer, don't you know? (Continues coughing as Fluttershy and Sunrise do the same) So you two buzzard boys better be on your way if you're gonna find the princess's missing pet. Philomena, was it? Thank you so much for keeping the three of us in the loop. Bye!
Sunrise Blossom: See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!
Fluttershy: Um...bye?
(The two vultures exchange looks at each other)
Vulture 1: Very well then.
Vulture 2: We'll be on our way then.
Vulture 1: Off to find that missing bird.
Vulture 2: We'll seal off the entire town.
Vulture 1: A thousand mile radius.
Vulture 2: Conduct an extensive ground search.
Vulture 1: We'll find her.
Vulture 2: We always catch our man.
Vulture 1: Or a missing pet phoenix at this case.
Vulture 2: Even if it takes weeks.
Vulture 1: Months.
Vulture 2: Years.
(They both fly away from the cottage leaving Fluttershy, Twilight and Sunrise in the clear...for now)
Twilight Sparkle: Phew! That was close!
Sunrise Blossom: Twilight, where did those two vulture policemen come from and why are THEY searching for Philomena on Celestia's behalf instead of her guards?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I guess policemen are more suited to these sorts of jobs and...FLUTTERSHY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Fluttershy: (heading towards the door with the basket on her back) Going to return Philomena, remember?
Twilight Sparkle: WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE CAN'T DO THAT NOW!
Sunrise Blossom: Oh I do wish you'd make your mind up, Twilight.
Fluttershy: Yeah, why not?
Twilight Sparkle: Why not?! WHY NOT?! You honestly have NO idea what is gonna do if she finds out that you're the one who Celestia's pet?
Sunrise Blossom: Oh anything but this again. Let me guess, you think she'll banish Fluttershy from Equestria or lock her in a dungeon or banish her and then throw her in the dungeon in the place she got banished, don't you?
Twilight Sparkle: Uhh...
Sunrise Blossom: Twilight, why, since you moved here to Ponyville, have you now become an idiot?
Fluttershy: Well I wouldn't exactly call her an idiot.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay. Granted that probably WON'T happen, but do you really wanna take any chances?
Fluttershy: All that really matters to me is that poor little Philomena here gets fully better.
Sunrise Blossom: Aw, isn't that noble of you, Fluttershy?
Twilight Sparkle: (sarcastically) Oh yes. Very noble of you indeed. I'll send you a postcard when you're banished. Unless I'm banished too in some place where there's no post office! Then you'll have to write to ME! Deal?
Sunrise Blossom: TWILIGHT SPARKLE, THAT IS ENOUGH! Look, let's just help Fluttershy get Philomena healthy and then we can return her to Celestia. And everything will be fine. (Philomena coughs and falls out of the basket) Well...sort of.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I'll take your word for it, sister. (Begins to tear up) But only because you won't stop being mean to me today!
Sunrise Blossom: Oh brother.
A/N: I'm not normally so mean to my sister, but she was driving me a bit crazy that day. R&R everyone!
