It's already been a day since the Rainbooms and the Shadowbolts won the music video contest. Today, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Belle, Applejack, Fluttershy with Spike in her arms and Pinkie Pie have been invited onto the film studio lot by a man named Canter Zoom.

Movie Director

Canter Zoom

Canter is man, probably in his forties, with a pale, light grayish gamboge skin tone, he has a slick-backed grayish malachite green with light malachite greenish gray highlights tied in a low ponytail and has moderate amaranth-colored eyes while wearing a thick-rimmed glasses. He wears a brown vest over a green long-sleeved collared shirt with an ID dangling around his neck, light-brown pants with a brown belt and gold buckle, and brown shoes.

Canter is currently showing the girls around the set of the new the film adaptation of Daring Do and the Marked Thief of Marapore as Rainbow spoke, "I can't believe we're really here!" she exclaimed in joy and excitement.

"Thank you so much for letting us come, Mister Zoom." Twilight said in gratitude.

"We promise we won't get in the way." Sunset spoke, "Again." she grumbled towards Rainbow, who let out a nervous laugh.

Canter turns to them with a smile, "As a fellow Camp Everfree alum..." he spoke, "I was more than happy to afford the girls who helped save it the chance to visit the set of our little film." he explained with his arms crossed.

Rainbow let's out a scoff while crossing her arms, "Little?" she said with a raised eyebrow, "This is Daring Do we're talking about!" she pointed out, "This movie is gonna be huge!" she exclaimed in excitement.

Then a female crew member approaches them, "Uh, there's a problem in wardrobe." she told Canter, "They can't find the costume Daring Do is supposed to wear in the nightclub scene." she explained causing him to smack himself in the face.

"If we're ever able to finish this movie, it'll be great..." Canter grumbled in frustration, "If you'll excuse me." he excused himself politely before walking off with the woman.

Then Jaune Arc, Brent Dark, Wesley Bryans and Marshmello walks towards them, "Hey girls!" the blonde immortal greeted.

The girls turns to them in surprise, "Jaune? Brent? Wesley? Marshmello?'' Twilight called out, "What are you guys doing here?'' she asked.

Jaune then spoke, "Won't you believe that one of the owners of this place was a former member of the Freedom Heroes!" he replied with a grin.

"No way!" Sunset exclaimed in disbelief.

"Oh, yes way!" Wesley replied with a smile, "The guy visited Heroes Coalitions days ago and gave us passes in this studio, so we can visit this place any time we come to this world!" he explained.

"That's amazing!" Pinkie exclaimed in awe.

"So, where are the others?'' Twilight asked.

Brent twirled his left finger, "They're all over the place.'' he replied, "Looking around for anything that interests them.'' he stated, "And oh! Some of them even got dragged into some role!" he chimed while bringing out his phone, "Like the Soldier who got dragged in playing a role of a bystander.'' he said while showing the girls of a picture of the Soldier getting slapped by a woman, making the girls giggle in response.

"Looks like everyone are having fun looking around the place." Applejack mused.

"Wait a minute." Sunset spoke, "Our phones were confiscated before entering this studio!" she said, "How come you have yours?'' she asked.

"I hid my phone in my dreadlocks." Brent replied, "It's so thick no one suspects that I hid something in here." he explained.

"I had to know what kind of shampoo are you using?!" Rarity demanded.

"Anyways...'' Twilight spoke, "According to our visitor schedules..." she said while holding up a sheet of paper, "... they won't start shooting the next scene for a while..." she pointed out, "... which means we have time to-!" she tried to say but was interrupted.

"Get my picture taken with Chestnut Magnifico, the actress playing Daring Do!" Rarity interjected in excitement.

Fluttershy then spoke, "And ask her to sign my petition to bring more bird feeders to Canterlot High!" she added in eagerness as everyone looks at her in confusion, "Well, Chestnut Magnifico is an avid supporter of a foundation that helps build homes for animals in need." she explained while nuzzling her head against Spike's.

"Sounds like a nice person." Jaune spoke, "I'd like to meet her." he said.

"Oh, okay." Twilight uttered in reply, "But I was thinking that we could-" she tried to say but was interrupted again.

"Check out all the sets?" Sunset interrupted with eyes wide in excitement.

"I'd sure like to get a closer look at that volcano." Applejack admitted jabbing a thumb at a certain set.

"Read my mind, cowgirl." Wesley chimed in, sharing a high-five with Applejack.

"Actually, I thought we'd-" Twilight tried to say but is once again interrupted.

"Find the buffet!" Spike interjected.

Pinkie then taken Spike in her arms, "And the cupcake fountain!" she added in excitement as Marshmello gave a thumbs-up in agreement.

"I don't know what a cupcake fountain is..." Rainbow spoke, "... but I'm pretty sure they don't have one." she pointed out.

"Of course they do." Pinkie replied while showing them a pamphlet, "I read it in my 100 Things You Didn't Know About This Movie Studio: Insider's Tour Guide." she explained.

"Is the number-one thing we didn't know that the guy who founded this studio was an eccentric oddball with a sweet tooth?" Applejack questioned.

Blinking in surprise, Pinkie scanned her pamphlet before smiling, "Oh! Yes!" she yelped in confirmation.

Twilight pouted before smiling, "I guess we're splitting up?" she asked as everyone nodded and let's out a voice of agreement.

And with that, the group splits into four with Fluttershy, Rarity and Jaune going to meet a certain actress, Sunset, Applejack and Wesley heading towards the set and Pinkie, Spike and Marshmello heading towards to wherever the cupcake fountain is while leaving behind Rainbow, Twilight and Brent.

Twilight then turns to Rainbow and Brent, "I don't suppose you two want to-" she tried to say but for the fourth time, she got interrupted.

"Check out the props that A. K. Yearling designed specially for the movie?" Rainbow interjected with an excited look on her face.

"You read my mind!" Twilight replied with a smile.

Brent rolled his eyes in amusement, "Dorks.'' he muttered.

Later that day outside one of the studio, we see Andres "Singko" Alvarez, Ikkaku Madarame, Yugi Mutou and Daisuke Niwa walking around with the idol taking pictures of the place.

The four then walks past-by a silver trailer with a purple door and a star on it as Fluttershy, Rarity and Jaune are standing besides the door.

"Maybe we shouldn't bother her when she's in her trailer..." Fluttershy suggested nervously.

"Yeah... we might end up only bothering her.'' Jaune stated in agreement.

"Darlings, please..." Rarity spoke with a wave of her hand, "Actresses love interacting with their fans..." she explained when suddenly the door swung open and slams right against her face, causing Fluttershy to gasp while Jaune grimaced.

"I'm so glad that I'm not the one behind that door." Jaune muttered.

On the door way is a young woman, she has a light tangelo skin tone, she has a pale, light grayish olive hair with rose streaks tied in a bun and has dark mulberry eyes. She wears a light-brown cardigan coat with gray trimmings over a dark pink & purple beaded dress, brown pumps and a chestnut necklace dangling around her neck. This is Chestnut Magnifico.

Diva Actress

Chestnut Magnifico

Rarity looks up and saw her, "Oh, Miss Magnifico!" she cried out in joy, "I-!" she tried to say but was interrupted.

"Ugh!" Chestnut growled angrily, "I don't care if I'm under contract!" she screamed into her phone, "This is a joke and I want this thing shut down!" she demanded in frustration, "Do you hear me?!" she bellowed before shutting her phone storming away, leaving behind a surprised and confused trio.

"Heh, heh..." Rarity giggled nervously, "She probably just didn't see us..." she noted.

"She sure did." Jaune replied with a blank look.

Back inside the studio, we see Sunset, Applejack and Wesley looking around the volcano set in awe.

"Look at this set!" Wesley spoke in awe, "It's a lot awesome up and close!" he exclaimed when he notice something below, "Agh! My shoelaces!" he complained before kneeling down to tie his shoelaces.

"Dagnabbit, Wes, can you at least wear something for your feet that doesn't need tying.'' Applejack stated in disbelief before looking around, "But I agree... this place is neat.'' she complimented, "Wonder how long it takes to build somethin' like this..." she mused in question.

"Several weeks, I'd bet." Sunset replied with a smile.

"They sure do go all out makin' it look like the real deal, huh?" Applejack commented while tipping her hat.

Suddenly, they all heard the sound of a crunch, Sunset looks down and picks up a candy wrapper, "Though I don't think the rainforest is known for its... Bon Mot peanut butter praline crunch bars..." she noted.

"Better pocket that." Applejack advised, "Wouldn't want it ruinin' the shot." she pointed out as Sunset did just that.

Elsewhere in the studio, we see Rainbow, Twilight and Brent looking around in a village setting with the former had look of awe in their faces.

"This setting is a work of art!" Brent complimented with a very impressed look, "They really did a remarkable job.'' he said.

Twilight nodded, "I agree." she replied in agreement.

The trio kept looking around when Rainbow saw something that made her gasp, Twilight and Brent turns their sights to the direction where the rainbow-haired girl is looking at and saw display with three golden-colored props upon it.

"Wow!" Rainbow exclaimed in awe before she and Twilight dashed towards the display, "These are the three Altoriosa Relics!" she pointed out.

"The Staff!" Twilight spoke while adjusting her glasses.

"The Sword!" Rainbow yelped.

"My ass..." Brent muttered with a blank look.

"Don't forget the Arrow of Altoriosa!" another voice chimed in, much to their surprise as the trio turns around to see a teenage girl standing behind them.

The girl has a pale, light-grayish olive skin tone, a long cerulean hair with arctic blue streaks which is tied in low pigtails and has a azure eyes. She wears a purple uniform over a blue blouse with a white flowery collar, dark-blue office skirt with purple dots, white high socks and purple slip shoes. This is Juniper Montage.

Studio Staff Member

Juniper Montage

"You're from Canterlot High, right?" Juniper asked with a smile.

"Twilight and Rainbow are." Brent clarified, "I'm just a friend who happens to tag along with them.'' he stated.

"I'm Juniper Montage." Juniper introduced herself, "Canter the director's niece." she added, "So what do you think of the props?" she asked.

"They're awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed in joy.

Juniper then walks towards them, "A.K. Yearling is very hands-on when it comes to the sets and props for the movie." she explained.

"Have you met her?" Twilight asked with an eager face.

"Just once when she came to check out the relics." Juniper replied, "I did get her to sign a copy of the latest Daring Do book, though." she mentioned while letting out a squeal in excitement.

"So, what's your business here?'' Brent asked.

"Mostly, I bring my uncle coffee and help get everything ready for shooting." Juniper replied, "I've been on the set for all the movies he's shot here," she pointed out, "Pretty much know every inch of this place like the back of my hand." she added with a giggle, "I tried to convince him to cast me as Daring Do, but... he really didn't go for that..." she bitterly grumbled, much to the trio's confusion, "Hey! Have you guys seen the set for Caballeron's secret lair?" she asked as Rainbow and Twilight shook their head with excited smiles while Brent rolled his eyes, "They usually lock the door to that set but I've got keys that open just about every door in this place." she mentioned while pulling out a ring of keys, "Come on, I'll show you." she beckoned as the trio followed her.

Elsewhere in the studio, we see Pinkie, Spike and Marshmello sitting a few feet away from the buffet table. Pinkie is sitting on a director's chair, Spike on a stool and Marshmello on a box crate with a bunch of candy wrappers scattered around them.

"Huh..." Pinkie sighed, "Three lunch buffets, six different kinds of fondue, two rooms with nothing but candy..." she listed off, "... and still no cupcake fountain!" she screamed in frustration, "Oh, well..." she muttered with a smile, "At least we found those peanut butter praline crunch bars!" she noted, "They weren't in my guidebook but they sure were delicious!" she admitted with Marshmello nodding in agreement.

"Ah..." Spike groaned in satisfaction "I'll say." he concurred while patting his belly, "You think they got any more?" he asked in excitement.

"Ahh!" they heard a yelped before looking forward to see Canter talking to Chestnut at the buffet table with the latter looking for something on the table, "One more month, Chestnut! That's all we need!" Canter pleaded in desperation, "I'm doing everything I can to keep us on schedule!" he stated, "But with all the setbacks we've had, I don't think we can do it!" he confessed, "If you could just agree to stay on for one more month!" he pleaded while clasping his hands together.

"Unacceptable!" Chestnut screamed loudly.

"But-!" Canter tried to say but was interrupted.

"Where are my imported peanut butter praline crunch bars?!" Chestnut demanded angrily.

Pinkie, Spike and Marshmello grimaced when they realized that they ate Chestnut's peanut butter praline crunch bars as Marshmello then jab a thumb from behind.

Spike nodded, "I agree with Marshy.'' he spoke, "Now would probably be a good time to resume the search for that cupcake fountain..." he whispered, earning a nod from Pinkie.

Spike then jumps onto Pinkie's arms as the trio sneaks away from the place.

Later that day, everyone had regrouped back at the volcano set as everything appeared to be ready to go.

Rainbow then turns towards Applejack, "You guys should've seen the relics..." the rainbow-haired girl whispered, "They were amazing!" she shouted in joy.

"Ugh!" Canter groaned before turning to her, "Quiet on set, please!" he advised angrily.

"One more noise, rainbow hair and we'll plaster your mouth!" Brent threatened in annoyance.

Rainbow chuckled nervously, "Sorry!" apologized, "Maybe I'll just go take one more peek at them..." she suggested before zipping off.

"And action!" Canter exclaimed through the megaphone.

As scene is being shot with the actor walking towards the volcano, the set suddenly began to shake as the volcano began to crumble into pieces making everyone gasped in shock, the actor quickly got away as the piece falls down on the floor.

"Cut! Cut! Cut!" Canter shouted with an exasperated tone before staring at the damaged set, "What is going on around here?" the man asked in frustration, "We just filmed on this volcano, and it was fine!" he pointed out, "This could set us back weeks!" he mentioned before slouching down.

Rainbow then came back in the set, "They're gone! They're all gone!" she cried out.

"What's gone?" Canter asked with an arched eyebrow.

Juniper then appears next to Rainbow, "The relics!" she exclaimed as everyone let's out a gasp in shock.

"Great... just great...'' Jaune muttered in annoyance.
