A/N: Hey, guys! Yup, it's time for another revised deleted scene from my wonderful online brother! Onward!
Call of the Cutie: Deleted Scene 1: "Buy Some Apples!"/Alternate Prologue To The Dr. Hooves Stories!
*Saturday morning in Ponyville. Time to sell some apples! Though...I don't really see much point in trying to SELL any apples when ponies can just wander into an apple orchard and take an apple for free. But that's never stopped Applejack from trying to earn enough money to help her family out before. And it doesn't look like that's going to stop a VERY overenthusatic Apple Bloom from helping out either. Except she's not doing this for the money OR for the rest of her family. Nope. She's doing this as an attempt to get her cutie mark! What else?*
Applejack: (wearing a white apron to hold the money she'd supposedly earn) Apples! Come and get your delicious, nutritious apples here!
Apple Bloom: (balancing an apple on her nose while also wearing a white apron that's just her size) That's right! Delicious AND nutritious! And so many uses! (Catches the apple in her mouth and eats it) You can eat 'em! (Gulps and uses a tennis racket to hit another apple like it was a tennis ball) Play with 'em!
Bon Bon: (offscreen somewhere as the apple hits her in the face) OW! Hey, watch where you're throwing those things next time, okay?
Apple Bloom: Oops! (Blushes) Sorry, ma'am!
Lyra: (also somewhere offscreen and trying her hardest not to burst into laughter at her best friend's expense)
Bon Bon: (still offscreen) It's NOT funny, Lyra!
Apple Bloom: (grabs another apple from the cart) Wanna see what else you can do with apples? (Kicks it into the air causing it to splatter against some pony's blank painting canvas) You can create fine art for your home with 'em! You'd have to be absolutely CRAZY not to get a bushel of your very own! So, come on down and buy some apples today!
Applejack: (quickly grabs her sister and hides her behind her) Whoa there, sugarcube! Ah'd calm down a lil' bit here if ah were you. We're just sellin' apples to ponies who are hungry enough to buy one. It's not like we're shootin' some kind of fancy commercial here about our apple related products or anything.
Apple Bloom: Oops! (Blushes again) Sorry, Applejack. Ah guess ah got a little too excited. Ah'll try my hardest to get ahold of mahself, big is. Ah promise. (Suddenly sees an interesting looking brown pony with an hourglass for a cutie mark) Ooh! Now, THERE'S a good lookin' customer! Ah wonder if he'd like to buy any apples? Hmm. Doesn't look like ah've seen this pony before. Maybe he just moved into town. Ah must head on over and give him a good ol' Apple Family welcome! (Runs off in excitement)
Applejack: Apple Bloom, wait! Come back! We're not supposed to talk to strangers! Remember? Apple Bloom! (Sighs) She's already gone.
Dr. Hooves: (carrying some supplies in his saddlebags) Ah. What a beautiful day to take a stroll through the marketplace. (Tummy starts to rumble) Hmm. I wonder if the nearest cafe' is open? I think I could go for some good food to enjoy out here in the sunlight.
Apple Bloom: (suddenly blocking his way) Pardon me, sir!
Dr. Hooves: Yah!
Apple Bloom: Ah couldn't help but overhear how hungry you are right now and ah was wonderin' if maybe you'd care t' buy some apples from us? We're currently sellin' a few!
Dr. Hooves: (shakes his head politely) Uh, n-no thanks, little filly. If it's all the same to you, I think I'll just gladly decline that little offer of yours. But thanks all the same anyway. (Turns to go only to have Apple Bloom suddenly block his way again) YIPE!
Apple Bloom: Why not? Didn't you say you were hungry?
Dr. Hooves: (begins nervously backing away from her) Y-yes. Yes, I did. But I don't need to buy any apples off of you. Really, I don't. I have plenty at home already. Now, if you would be so kind as to kindly leave me be, that'd be nice of you. (Turns around to find Apple Bloom blocking her way a THIRD time) AGH! Great whickering stallions! What is WRONG with you?!
Apple Bloom: Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you don't want to buy any apples off me, sir? Come on. This is my FIRST time tryin' to be a good apple seller.
Dr. Hooves: And I'm sure you're doing a pretty good job of doing it. But please, trust me when I say I DON'T want to buy any apples. No means no. Alright? You got that?
Apple Bloom: So, you say you're sure. But you're not completely super-duper sure, are you?
Dr. Hooves: (begins to panic) Y...ah! Oh, for the love of... Look, if I buy some apples off you, would you PLEASE leave me alone?!
Apple Bloom: (cheers with delight) Alright!
*And with that, Dr. Hooves hastily throws some bits into the pocket of Applejack's apron, snatches up a bag of apples, and flees for his life, completely ignoring Applejack as she calls out to him.*
Applejack: Uh, wait a minute here, sir! You forgot your change!
Apple Bloom: Woo-hoo! Now, that's how you sell s'm apples and get a cutie mark! This calls for a victory twirl! (Begins spinning around in circles while trying to get a good look at her still blank flank) So, what does my cutie mark look like then, big sis? Is it a shoppin' bag full of apples? A sastified customer eating an apple? (Frowns when she realises there's nothing there) Awww! Dagnabbit! No cutie mark! (Begins pouting) What did ah do wrong? Ah sold some apples, didn't I? Why don't ah have my cutie mark yet? Do I have to increase my sales figures or somethin'? But how am I supposed to increase my sales figures? Do ah just drop some apples into some pony's empty bags? Wouldn't that just make 'em angry at me? Oh, ah can't do this, Applejack! This is just too complicated!
Applejack: APPLE BLOOM, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!
Apple Bloom: EEK! (Hides inside an empty bucket)
Applejack: (calms down and sighs heavily) Sorry, Apple Bloom. Ah didn't mean to raise mah voice like that. Look, a-ah know it's hard for you to wait for your very own cutie mark, but you just can't force it like this. (Takes a look at her own cutie mark) Ah should know. Ah definitely didn't try to rush it.
Apple Bloom: Really? Then, how did you get your...
Ace Player: (finds the tennis racket Apple Bloom has been using) Hey! Who's been using my tennis racket to wack apples with?!
Applejack: Uh...ah'll...tell you some other time. Ah don't really think now is the best time for me to do so at the moment. And trust me, ah'd be more than happy to let you stay and try to sell apples with me and show everypony what you can do with 'em, but ah don't think he approves of the idea. Anyway, don't ya got other fillies in this class of yours without a cutie mark?
Apple Bloom: (has a think) Hmm. Well, no one except Twist. She doesn't have HER cutie mark yet either.
Applejack: Do you think you'd feel a lil' better if you went to the party with her?
Apple Bloom: (nodding) Mmm-hmm.
Applejack: Well, there ya go! Bet you and Twist would have a great time together. Now, run along and find your friend. (Suddenly starts whispering) And actually, ah'd step on it if ah were you.
Apple Bloom: (confused) Why?
Applejack: (still whispering) Because ah really don't want you to get into any trouble with...
Ace Player: Aha! So it was YOU, Applejack! Oh, I should have known! Who else would play around with apples for hours at a time like you do all day?
Applejack: (deadpan) Aw, horseapples. Ah should've seen that comin'.
Sunrise Blossom: (pauses the scene) Hey, uh, guys?
Timon: What is it, Sunrise?
Pumbaa: Yeah. This episode was really starting to get interesting. Why did you pause it?
Sunrise Blossom: Because I keep thinking about that pony that Apple Bloom had tried to sell apples to for some reason. I don't know. It's kind of hard to recognise him.
Timon: (rewinds back to the Dr. Hooves scene and pauses there) What? You mean him?
Sunrise Blossom: Yeah. That's it. Him right there.
Pumbaa: Oh, that's just Dr. Hooves, Sunrise. Don't you remember? He's basically the Equestrian equivalent of some very famous British TV star who goes by the same name.
Timon: Uh, actually, his human counterpart's name is "Dr. Who", Pumbaa. Not "Hooves".
Pumbaa: Oh yeah.
Sunrise Blossom: Ah, yes! Dr. Hooves! Of course! I remember him now! Thanks for the reminder there, Pumbaa. It's been so long since any of us last saw him, I completley forgot who he was for a second there. Hey, here's an idea. Shall we take a quick break from watching this Apple Bloom episode and take a look at HIS side of the story for a bit? I'm actually starting to wonder what it must have been like for him meeting Derpy for the very first time.
Pumbaa: (unsure) Gee, uh, are you sure that's a good idea, Sunrise? We still don't know what happens to Apple Bloom yet. I don't think she'd be very happy with us if she was here right now.
Timon: Pumbaa, Pumbaa, Pumbaa. There you go again. Overreacting and worrying about things as usual. I don't see any harm in taking a quick break from this episode. And besides, what makes you so sure that Apple Bloom is aware of what's going on right now when she's not even here? (Suddenly hears a knock at the door) Oh. That'll be more food, I'm hoping. We're starting to run low again. (Gets out of his seat) Just a minute! I'm coming! Keep your hair on! (Opens the door) Hello? (Suddenly gets tackled to the ground by a rather grumpy little yellow filly) GAH!
Apple Bloom: Ah GOT ya!
Pumbaa and Sunrise Blossom: (surprised) Apple Bloom?!
Timon: (still being tackled) A-Apple Bloom?! W-what's the big idea tackling me like tha...GAK! Choking! Not breathing!
Apple Bloom: How DARE you choose to pause mah very first episode all about me just to put on somethin' else! How could you do somethin' like that to me?
Timon: (still choking) How did...you even know...that's what...we were...planning on...doing?!
Apple Bloom: Because ah came all this way here specially just to watch mah first major starring role only to find out that ah just went and missed the first lot of it and had just now overheard that you were gonna pause it and start watchin' somethin' else! Now, how would ya'll like it if you were in the middle of watching something all about you and then someone else suddenly decides to put on somethin' completely different? How would YOU feel, huh?
Timon: (still choking) Okay...I think...you made...you're point...already...Apple Bloom...now...would you...kindly...STOP CHOKING ME ALREADY?!
Sunrise Blossom: Let go of him, Apple Bloom! I think you're hurting him!
Apple Bloom: NEVER! Ah wanna watch mah episode right back from the beginnin' without any interruptions and AH WANT IT NOW!
Timon: (still choking even more) Can't we...talk about...this?!
Apple Bloom: (suddenly hears another knock at the door causing her to snap out of it and let go of Timon) Oh. Now, who in tarnation could that be? (Goes over to open the door)
Pumbaa: (runs up to Timon) Timon! Are you alright, bestest best friend? Say something!
Timon: (all sprawled out on the ground) That, my porcine pal, is what is known as being saved by the bell.
Pumbaa: (taking it literally) But...there is no doorbell in a cinema.
Timon: (sits up) It's a figure of speech, ya mook!
Apple Bloom: (opens the door) Hello?
Dr. Hooves: (carrying a large cart filled with all kinds of yummy foods) Oh! Apple Bloom! Why, isn't this an unexpected surprise? We weren't expecting to find YOU here, were we, Derpy?
Derpy: Hello, Apple Bloom. What are you doing here?
Apple Bloom: Oh. (Begins blushing in embarrassment) Well...
Timon: (walks up to the three of them) Never mind about what SHE'S doing here! What are YOU two doing here? And why do you have all our food?
Dr. Hooves: Oh. Well, we're here to join in on your viewing and reveal how Miss. Derpy and I met for the very first time. Isn't that right, Miss. Derpy?
Derpy: (nods and holds up a basket of muffins) I brought muffins!
Timon: (sighs) Alright, get in here then and bring in that cartload of food, we're all getting hungry here.
Apple Bloom: (still a little disappointed) But...what about mah episode? Ah didn't even get to see much of it! Ah only just got here myself!
Dr. Hooves: Oh my goodness. Have you? Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about that, Apple Bloom. Really, I am.
Sunrise Blossom: Think about it this way though, Apple Bloom. Would you REALLY have wanted to watch the part with Diamond Tiara getting you into trouble with Miss Cheerilee by passing you that blank piece of paper? Or the part with everypony laughing at your expense immediately afterwards?
Apple Bloom: (thinks this through) Well...no. A-ah guess not. Ah suppose it probably would be just a lil' bit too embarrassing for me t'sit through that part.
Sunrise Blossom: (smiles warmly) Come on. Let's get you seated here with us. And don't worry. I PROMISE you we'll get straight back to your episode as soon as we can.
Apple Bloom: (considers this for a few seconds until finally deciding) Well, alrighty then. If ya'll say so.
*So, everyone gets back into their seats as Dr. Hooves inserts a DVD into the projector.*
Dr. Hooves: Now to answer Miss Blossom's question. (Hits play on the remote and the image changes to a new scene)
Dr. Hooves: (runs and hides in an alleyway, breathing hard) What a stubborn filly! (Sighs and puts the bag of apples into his saddlebags) I think I shall go home and have something to eat instead. That was too alarming. (Exits the alleyway and heads for his house- BAM!) Oof! (Ends up all sprawled out on the ground and sees stars dancing around his head) Ooh, what pretty stars!
Derpy: (gasps) Oh my gosh! I am SO sorry, sir! I didn't mean to bump into you like that! It was an accident! Here, let me get those for you. (Gathers up the items that had fallen out of the saddlebags)
Dr. Hooves: (grunts, sits up and rubs his sore head) It's quite alright, young lady. I'm sure it WAS just an accident. (Shakes the dizziness out of his head) Thank you. Um, who exactly ARE you?
Derpy: Derpy! Derpy Hooves! I'm the mailpony for Ponyville.
Dr. Hooves: Oh. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Derpy. I am Dr. Hooves, and I have a LOT to do today. So, if you wouldn't mind...
Derpy: Oh. Of course, Doc. I was just wondering if you needed any help with anything. (Holds up a basket of muffins) Muffins? I've made them myself.
Dr. Hooves: (clears his throat) Well, first off, please don't call me "Doc". Secondly, as nice as that sounds, I'm not really sure if I need any help with what I have to do today, but thank you for asking anyway. (Stomach grumbles) Although, I suppose a muffin would sound nice right about now as I am rather peckish. Tell you what, why not come to me house and we can have some tea with those muffins?
Derpy: That'd be great!
Dr. Hooves: Fantastic. (They walk to his house together)
A/N: This is great, online brother, especially combining what I came up with along with your own ideas. I love it! Hugs, cookies, and muffins for days!
Bye for now! R&R everyone!
