Title: Missing Scenes At The Gala

Premise: MLP: FIM. Some scenes that I think should have been in the episode Best Night Ever. Head Canons, OC stuff.

Personal Comments: Some of this stuff I was going to include in a story starring my OCs, Thunder Strike and Ink Blot. Too time-consuming though. Too worked up with other stories. And I like the idea of Octavia and Pinkie Pie being sisters. I decided to play around with that a little. Same thing goes for Cadence and Blueblood being siblings. Speaking of, am I the only one who would have loved to see Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor in that episode? I really think we should have seen them there. Shining Armor in particular, it really bothers me that they introduced him that late in the series. I mean, you think we would have found out about Twilight's BBBFF sooner, you know what I mean?

Thunder Strike could not be more excited. Here he was, about to have a fun night with his beautiful marefriend, Trixie, and his best friend, Ink Blot, who brought his own marefriend, Cheerilee.

As they walked up towards the gates, they saw a bunch of ponies singing a song, and out of pure adrenaline, he decided to join in, putting his foreleg around Blot's shoulders.

Thunder Strike:

At the Gala, with our marefriends,

You and I, we found our place!

We will dance and laugh and smooch here at the Gala! (At the Gala)

We'll enchant them. They'll be so charmed,

We might get to second base!

Cheerilee:

You perv!

Thunder:

They will see what great stallions we are

In there, at the Gala!

Chior:

And now tonight, we welcome you,

Our overlord and master-

Blot (Speaking):

SH-shshshshsh-shush! Spoilers people!

Inside the ballroom, Octavia sat upon her stool, getting ready to play for the evening. Her mind was calm, composed, ready to play her sweetest melodies, especially the solos she would perform tonight.

And that was when a pink pony wearing a colorful dress started bouncing in, eagerly looking around.

She bounced up closer to the stage, and that's when she noticed the grey pony, and gasped.

"Octi!" She cried. "Hey! Octi!" She waved out to her sister.

Annoyed, Octavia looked over at the pink pony, but her frown quickly disappeared, and grew to an enormous smile.

"Pinkie!" She squealed. She gently put down her cello and leapt off the stage, nearly tackling her little sister as they embraced each other in a tight hug. After a moment, they pulled apart, still holding each other's hooves.

"Jeez! It's been so long!" Pinkie squeaked. "How have you been Are you playing here tonight? I had no idea!"

"Yeah! I am! Pretty cool, huh? I had no idea you were coming! This is fantastic!" And then she looked over Pinkie's candy-themed dress, and suppressed a giggle. "But, why are you dressed in that?"

"Well, this is a party, right?" Pinkie replied. "I wanted to come in a dress that's totally hip for this kinda thing! I think I'll fit right in!"

Octavia shook her head at her clueless little sister's antics. "Still haven't changed, have you little sister?"

"Nope! Still the same old Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie smiled. "So come on! We gotta catch up! Tell me all about things here in Canterlot! Have you met Princess Celestia yet? Or Princess Luna? I've met both of them! Oh! I gotta tell you about my friends and things in Ponyville! Things have been getting pretty crazy! Been going on some wild adventures! Can't wait to tell you about all of them! OH, IMJUSTSOHAPPYTOSEEYOUAGAIN, BIGSISTER!"

Octavia laughed a little more at her little sister's usual hyper-activeness. She really had not changed.

Suddenly, the piano pony cleared his throat, gaining the sister's attention. "Octavia," He said. "Warm-up time's almost over. We better get ready to go on."

"Oh, right," Octavia replied as she composed herself more before turning back to her sister.

"Okay, so you can see I'm gonna be playing most of the night. Just enjoy the party for now." She gestured the other ponies in the room. "Go mingle with the others. Try some of the wine... but not too much."

"Okay," Pinkie replied with a smile.

"But yeah, I'd love to catch up with you later. I've got some friends and acquaintances here I'd love you to meet! And I'd love to hear about things in Ponyville.

"Great! And I'll introduce you to my friends too! They're around here somewhere."

"Yeah! So later tonight, we can go for a few drinks at this one place, Martini's. It's a great bar! You'll love it. Or maybe to Pony Joe's for a few donuts. He's great for those. Whatever you'd like."

Octavia got back up on stage to get ready to play again.

Meanwhile, in the changeling realm, a caterpillar-like creature was getting her necromorph-like creatures together, getting ready to head out and take siege of the Grand Galloping Gala.

This was Princess Asphyxia, the deformed sister of Queen Chrysalis. She looks like the Asphyxia boss from Silent Hill: Homecoming.

Cadence took a sip from her wine glass. It was delicious.

"Oh, wow!" She gasped after she swallowed. "You were right, BB. This is REALLY good wine!"

"I thought you might like it, sister!" Blueblood replied.

Cadence listened then as a slow dance started to play from the orchestra. She saw Shining Armor approach out of the corner of her eye.

"You'll have to excuse me now, little brother," Cadence said as she set her glass down on the nearest table. "I think I'm wanted on the dance floor. My white knight approaches!"

And that's when Shiny reached them. "Pardon me, your majesty," he said with a bow in a gentlemanly manner, "May I have this dance?"

Cadence giggled at Shiny's joking tone. "Of course, good sir." She held out her hoof for him to take as he lead her away, but not before Shiny turned to Blueblood.

"Sorry, BB," he said. "Gonna have to steal her away from you for a while."

"It's fine," he replied. "You two have fun."

"I think you should be getting ready for your own date," Cadence retorted.

"Oh, yeah, that's right!" Blueblood nodded. He nearly forgot about her.

"Now listen, BB," Shiny added before he left. "Rarity is a friend of my little sister. So, just try to show her a good time. Try, okay?"

"AHHH!" Screamed a poor mare as the deformed creatures approached her. She pointed a hoof at the biggest one. "It's Slenderpony!"

Asphyxia growled with annoyance. Her stinger sprang out from her abdomen as she whipped it out and impaled the mare through the tummy. The poison seeped into her, making her gurgle and convulse, writhing on the ground and holding her stomach.

"How many times do I have to say it?" Asphyxia grunted. "I'm NOT Slenderpony!"

"Well, it's just that you look so much like him," One of her creatures said. "I mean with the head, no eyes,"

Before he could say anything else, Apshyxia's hoof jabbed out and smashed him in the head, sending his skull flying.

"Any pony else link I look like Slenderpony?" She asked angrily, receiving a void of silence from her subjects.

Thunder and Blot walked down the hall, their marefriends at their sides. The two colts were mad at each other. They had gotten into quite a few arguments throughout the night.

You swish your tail in

(Blot's tail swipes and slaps Thunder across the face.)

You swish your tail out (Slaps him again.)

You swish your tail in

And you swish and swish about.

(By now, Thunder gets mad, and zaps Ink Blot on the hide with his unicorn magic lightning.)

You do the pony pokey just because your pal is stout,

YEEEOOW! (Blot launches off into a hot dog cart.)

Now try the sauerkraut!

Her hostage situation adverted, Asphyxia and her remaining forces now faced Thunder Strike in the garden.

"Ah, Sergeant Thunder Strike," Asphyxia said musingly in her hoarse voice. "We meet again. Still playing the hero, I see. When are you going to show all your dear friends who you REALLY are?"

"Are you going to taunt me, or are we going to fight?" Thunder asked sternly, charging up the magic in his horn.

"Hmm Heh he," Asphyxia giggled. She then turned to her lead henchpony, and whispered "Kill him! And make sure it's painful!"

Her minions lurched out at Thunder, their scythe-like claws poised to slash him in two.

By the end of the battle, Asphyxia's forces have been killed, the villain herself driven off, but Thunder had taken a fatal sting to the heart. He had actually taken the blow to defend Trixie. The venom poisoning him, he died in the "arms" of Trixie and Ink Blot. Both were left now crying over his body.

Celestia, Luna, and some guards have arrived on the scene, a little late though.

"Oh, Thunder!" Trixie wept. "Please! Don't leave me! I love you!"

"I'm so sorry," Blot added. "I'm sorry for everything! All the times we argued! You're the best dang friend a pony could have!"

"Um," Celestia interrupted. "It's just poison that got him right? So you know I can cure him with a spell, right?"

"Just give us another moment," Trixie panted before she got back to her weeping.

After another minute of weeping and promises and apologize from both Trixie and Ink, they wiped their tears and smiled.

"Okay, we're done," Blot nodded. "You can revive him now please, Princess."
