MLP: Seeds of the Past
Chapter 26 - Outtakes, Part 1
Author's Note: "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" belongs to DHX Media and Hasbro, while Stardust Balance belongs to the Warrior of Twilight.
As shown in the chapter title, what you are about to read is my version of the "bloopers" that we've seen from the Equestria Girls movies, and will hopefully make you laugh just a little bit... if not, then I hope you simply enjoy it, then.
You'll also see (in part two) more bloopers, as well as different versions of certain scenes that I originally had planned one way, but ended up changing it at the last minute, or not even featuring it at all.
With all that being said, please enjoy!
"These were recorded during the summer… three years ago," Beck finished, and instantly, everyone realized why he played those messages.
"You lost someone," Twilight stated.
Beck shook his head, and replied, "No, Princess, I lost everyone."
'That's what this is about?' Casey thought, while Beck continued to tell his story.
"I had been away when it happened…" said the middle-aged pony, but before he could tell the princess about what happened in the past, Beck let out a sigh. "Look, Chris, I'm not sure if I can do this."
"Don't worry, Beck," replied the director, walking away from his chair. "Everything will be fine, trust me."
A nervous Beck glanced over at the locked-up Twilight, and said, "Yeah, but… I mean, she's freaking Twilight Sparkle, for god's sake, and I'm supposed to beat the hay out of her once the flashback is over? Whose idea was that in the first place?"
The director took a moment to turn himself around, swiftly glare at his sheepish co-screenwriter, and brought his attention back over to Beck. "I promise, Twilight's going to be fine… they invented the words movie magic for a reason."
Before the green Earth Pony could speak, one of the film's executive producers said, "For what it's worth, pal, you're lucky that Stardust isn't in this scene."
"Yes, Jack, we're all aware of that," replied the director, rolling his eyes before placing a comforting hoof on Beck's shoulder. "I trust you, and so does she… right, Twilight?"
The smiling alicorn nodded her head, and Beck sighed before he reluctantly did the same.
"Awesome! Okay, we're about to come back to the present now," said the director, heading back to his chair. "In 3… 2… 1… action!"
A few minutes later
Once Twilight's tooth had fallen out, the director lifted his megaphone up to his muzzle, and cried, "And… CUT! That's lunch, everypony!"
"Phew! Thank heavens, I needed this break," said Rarity, who was stepping out of the cage she had been locked in, and began making her way to her trailer while Spike ran off to prepare for their scene that would be coming up next.
As Casey helped Twilight off of the table, an apologetic Beck said, "I'm so sorry, princess, I was only-"
"Don't worry, Beck, you did great," replied Twilight. "Good thing they invented blackout tooth paint, right?"
"Heh-heh, yeah, definitely," said Beck, starting to feel more relaxed, and he was about to say more when a stage hand approached the princess to tell her that she was needed in the make-up department.
"I'm on my way," said Twilight, and she gave Casey a quick romantic kiss before walking away. "See you later, okay?"
The young pony nodded his head as he watched her leave, with eyes full of love and affection, and once she was gone, Casey looked over at Beck. "You want to go check out the other sets?"
"Lead the way."
As he made his way into the library, Casey was starting to feel a little sad about the fact that he really hadn't spent much time with Starlight, aside from today, because of all the fun he had been having with-
"Beedo, beedo, beedo, beedo!" cried Pinkie Pie, who swiftly hurried past him with an extinguisher in her hooves, and Casey was about to speak when Ride Along walked onto the set with a frown on his face.
"Hey, if anypony's going to make any kind of siren noises, it's gonna be me!" cried the officer pony, before proceeding with making his own police siren sounds.
After following Starlight out of the castle, and onto the nearest clear field of grass, Casey looked at the object he was currently holding, and said, "Uh, no offense, Star, but… I don't know how to fly a kite."
"No worries, I'll teach you," replied a smiling Starlight, walking over to the light-orange pony as she started to sing a song.
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
Taking another look at the kite in his hooves, an unsure Casey found himself allowing the purple unicorn to help him out.
Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!
A few feet away, the director - sitting behind the camera - let out a sigh, and muttered, "I hope this scene doesn't get cut."
"Ahhhh, Princess Cadance... A pleasure to meet such a beautiful alicorn, as yourself."
A frustrated Cadance growled, "Save it… give me back my daughter now."
"No problem," replied Beck, speaking in a casual tone. "You just have to do one more thing."
"And what would that be exactly?" asked Cadence, who couldn't help but again feel a little surprised since this was not she had expected at all to come from him.
"That dart you see to your right..."
Cadance looked to her right to find a dart resting on the table.
"You just got to ram that… um…" Beck found himself unable to finish his sentence, and then, he started to laugh a little bit. "I'm sorry, Princess Cadence, I was trying to say that without sounding like a creep."
Cadence let out a chuckle, and she shook her head. "Don't worry, you're doing fine."
As Beck nodded his head, the director cried, "Alright, let's go again!"
#############
"...just ram that baby into your flank and we're good."
A frown appeared on the princess' face after hearing those words, but before she could respond, Flurry Heart gave Beck a confused look after hearing the word baby.
"Oh, no, not you, little one, I meant the dart… wait, what are you… Flurry, no, you put that down right - ow!"
The baby alicorn started to laugh while Cadence had a "ooooh, that's gotta hurt" look on her face after having seen Flurry Heart magically shoot the dart into Beck's right cheek.
"I didn't sign up for this," muttered the Earth Pony, bringing his hoof up to his face to remove the dart.
While Casey and Twilight couldn't believe that they had been unsuccessful in rescuing Spike from the cloaked pony, Stardust was busy dealing with things that were preventing him from going to Casey's world, aside from his belief that everything there was fine.
"Trust me, love, there's nothing left for me to say regarding how horrible Sonic '06 is… expect horribly long waiting times, a [BEEP]-ed up camera system, too many damn glitches, and who in the hell decided to write in the script 'princess kisses hedgehog'."
Stardust rolled his eyes, and added, "Thank God they basically erased that whole timeline… I mean, what kind of human would ever fall in love with a talking animal?"
"..."
Realizing that Twilight wasn't answering him, the human-turned-pony looked back at his special somepony, and said, "What?"
"I give up, Pinkie… I've failed you… I'm sorry."
The pink unicorn looked at the young alicorn, and gasped loudly as she quickly went over to her.
"Huh?! Twilight Sparkle giving up? No, no, no, that isn't something a pony like you would ever say…"
Twilight sighed in sadness, and replied, "I know it's not good to hear, Pinkie, but-"
Suddenly, she felt the pink pony's front hoofs on both of her own shoulders, and before Twilight could say anything else, Pinkie started to shake her like a baby's rattle.
"Are you okay, Twilight? You sick? Light-headed? Upset stomach? Do I need to give you some Pony Bismal or Neigh Quill or-"
"Pinkie, put her down before she actually does have to go to the hospital," said a chuckling Stardust.
"I give up, Pinkie… I've failed you… I'm sorry."
The pink unicorn looked at the young alicorn, and gasped loudly as she quickly went over to her.
Once Pinkie stopped, a dizzy Twilight replied, "Thanks for not - oompphh!"
Suddenly, she felt her friend's front hoofs on her own face, and Pinkie began squeezing her facial cheeks together. "Alright, Twilight, I need you to tell me if you're okay because I'm getting really worried right now."
Twilight's boyfriend tried his best not to laugh out loud as he said, "Pinkie, trust me, she's fine."
Um, I think you're wrong, Pinkie… I think [BEEP] was the word that he-"
"Rainbow Dash!" scolded Applejack, and after taking it, she added, "You should know better than to say somethin' that Twilight don't like to hear… 'sides, y'all are both wrong… cause Star actually said the word [BEEP]."
"Applejack!" cried Applebloom, surprising everypony else as she came out of nowhere. "I can't believe you said that… when you should have told him the word-"
All it took was a serious glare from the orange pony to have her little sister instantly close her muzzle while an approaching Beck said, "I still don't get why you still get words like [BEEP] and [BEEP] covered up, even though we've already said things like damn, hell… fu-"
"Whoa, whoa, everypony just calm down," said the director, as he walked onto the set. "No reason for any of you to say such things."
"Except for Stardust," reminded Jack, as he laid back in his chair. "I wrote him that way."
The director let out a sigh, and he replied, "I know you did, Jack, but I'm not gonna let this result into something that's not suitable for the targeted audience… something I'm sure you are familiar with, yes, Mr. Perfect Harmony?"
As Jack closed his mouth, Twilight looked at Stardust, and asked, "What do they mean by-"
The gold pony shook his head, and replied, "Not a good time, love."
"And… CUT! That's it for today, everypony. See you all tomorrow!"
Casey, Stardust, and their girlfriends let out sighs of relief, but before either of them could say anything, a certain pony cried, "Whoo-hoo! Party time!"
Whoosh!
"Pinkie!" yelled the four ponies, who were all now soaking wet after having a barrel of water dumped onto them.
"What? Aren't you supposed to do that when everything is over?"
Stardust lifted up his fedora to self-dry it, causing some more water to splash over his head, and he replied, "That's usually done when a team wins something like the Super Bowl, Pinkie…. plus, we aren't even done yet."
"Ohhhhh… I get it know," said the pink pony, nodding her head, and a few seconds later, she added, "Let me go get you all some towels."
