Episode 1:
Brim Tim
Location: Canterlot High School
Time: 9:45 am
Canterlot High School where all things can be found from any students either going about their days as normal or others having "different" ideas.
In the hallway, Comes the Twins named by certain Aliases as neither of them wants to be announced by their real names and are known as "Timothy/Thomas Mackenzie."
Thomas was the Doofus that people seem to love while Timothy was the bad luck magnet that tries to keep anything or anyone from getting destroyed by his stupidity.
They were both in the hallway as they were walking to their first class, together. "Soooooooooo, Timmy! Feel like today's a good day maybe...I don't know, make a friend!" Thomas suggested. Timothy looked at him with much annoyance.
"If it's all the same to you, I have no time to be dealing with any morons that I already have to put up with. Much like yourself"
"Awww come on, Timmy! It wouldn't kill you to at least try and hang out with somebody! This whole thing is all about Friendship and making new ones at all times!"
"Thomas, Don't you know that Friendships are a Scam?" Timothy retorted. "What do you mean?" Thomas asked.
"The minute that you open your heart to someone, whoever you try to make friends with can have the capability to destroy the trust you gave them with no guilt. The minute that someone tries to be all "Friendly" with you, they break your heart the next." Timothy explained. Thomas gasped in shock.
"That's not true! Building Friendships with others and opening your heart to others is what MAKES it worth it! I mean, I've got loads of friends all around me and you could, too if you tried to talk to people instead of putting your head in those books, all day." Thomas tried to tell him.
"Oh, for what? So, that I can finally be "Cool" or "Popular" enough to hang with Former Bully, Sunset Shimmer the Mystery Gang?" Timothy sarcastically remarked. "I don't think you understand, Timmy. Having trust in others doesn't always mean that they'll take advantage of you for it. Why, It's the beauty AND comfort in knowing that there are people who care about you and want to help you that makes Friendship worthwhile!" Thomas corrected.
"As if. People suck and so are all seven of them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to class filled with plenty more Idiots." Timothy grumpily walks off, leaving Thomas with an expression of disappointment
"I bet that if he had at least ONE good friend to be with, He probably wouldn't be such a Meanie..." Thomas muttered to himself before walking to his own class.
Time: 11:30 am
Later that day, It was now Lunchtime. Timothy went outside to the front of the School Building and sat at the statue like he always does. Thomas was in the Cafeteria and he was sitting at his usual spot along with his own Friends that also happen to be His brother's neighbors. "Yo! What's up, Tommy!" Maggie greeted Thomas as he came over to the table, sitting with the Trio. "Hi Maggie!"
"Got any stories for us, today?" Harley asks him. "Oh yeah! I found a Nickel in the library! I had to fight a Rat for it but I fell asleep after trying to fight him. The dude is really strong!" Thomas explained.
"Sounds like a normal day for you in my opinion." Razzle commented. "I wish you would've invited me! I hope it wasn't the same Rat that stole my sandwich last week. I'm still hunting for that little varmint!" Maggie said. "Maybe. But guys, I've been needing to seek some help"
"Help? With what?" Harley asked Thomas. "I've been trying to get Tim to lighten up and make some friends but He always refuses to listen. I hate that he constantly refuses to communicate with people especially when He needs to better his Social Skills."
"I've got to admit, The dude's kind of a Cranky Grandpa and could use a little spice in his life" Maggie slightly joked but also being serious.
"Except that he isn't one for many Joyful things like that and prefers to be alone. Can't say that I blame him, though" Razzle added on.
"On top of that, Thomas, Tim is known to be Hostile and has a lot of Trust Issues. We couldn't even get him to open up to us and we all live in the same Neighborhood along with you guys. The only three things that he knows how to do are Yell, Insult, consider everyone stupid except himself...No offense." Harley tries to explain while trying to not offend Thomas. He seems to not be.
"But he doesn't have to be that way. I'll bet that if he at least had somebody to talk to and get along with, He would become a better person and learn to trust others. Plus, If he had friends then he'd have something to do besides read books all day. I see potential! No problems!" Thomas spoke and believed that Timothy is much more than what people believe him to be. "Yeah? Well, I see someone who still has my Textbook. One moment."
Razzle sees Pinkie Pie walk past them before she gets up to stop her. She then puts her hand into Pinkie's Fuzzy pink hair and digs through her locks until she pulls out a Math Book that has her name on it.
"Thanks for holding this on for me, Pinky" Razzle thanked her. "You're welcome!" Pinkie said, hopping away and Thomas was left confused by the revelation that Razzle seems to know one of Sunset's Friends on first name bases. "Since when did you and Pinkie start talking?" Thomas asked.
"We got invited to one of her parties. They're pretty fun" Razzle told him. She and the girls had come to one of the Parties but Razzle hasn't introduced Maggie and Harley to the rest of the group but has been meaning to find the right moment. "I think that cute-looking mannequin I met at that Party gave me a Fake Phone number..." Maggie said, implying that she was trying to go out with an Inanimate Object. Everyone pretends that they didn't hear that.
"Man. Even you guys make it seem so easy. I just wonder how we can do the same for my brother." Thomas said, slightly saddened upon saying it.
"Maybe if we try and write down some of the things that we know about Tim and go around and talk to people and see what they think of him, It could make it easier to find someone that shares the most common interests with him" Harley made a suggestion.
"Oh Yes! That sounds like a great idea! Let's do that!" Razzle agreed. "Yeah! I like it, too! Alright, How about we try and go around to see everyone's personal opinions about him?" Thomas suggested.
"That's a plan. It would be easier to try and find the right people who might like him and would best play to his biggest strengths"
"Sweet! You girls meet me at the Gym after school and we'll get to work!" Thomas said as the Bell rings and everyone went back to class and continued on with the rest of the day.
Time: 2:30 pm
After the day ended, Maggie ran over to the Gymnasium and Thomas was already there as he was trying to write something down. "wait...I can't read..." Thomas muttered.
"Hey Tommy! I'm here!" Maggie called out to him as She and the other girls arrived in the Gymnasium as Thomas requested. "Oh hey, Mags!"
"I got here as soon as I could! I was in the middle of a thumb war and Rainbow finally got beat! ¡Le mostré!" ("Showed her!")
"Really!? Why didn't you tell me? I wanted to record that!"
"Mi mala, Tommy" ("My bad, Tommy")
"I and Harley saw Tim and it seems like he was with someone already" Razzle said, as she explained that Timothy was found talking to another person despite that being rather out of character for him." Someone? What do you mean by that?"
"From what we guess, He seems to already have a Friend that we didn't even know about" Razzle said.
"WHAT!? You mean to tell me that he's had friends this whole time and HE NEVER TOLD ME!!" Thomas was shocked and shouted. "No need to be too upset, Dearie. We're just as Betrayed by this fact as you are" Razzle told him.
"I can't believe that he lied to me! Even after so many years, I tried to get him to open up!"
"Tommy, chill out. There's no need to be an Angry Mob over it. I say we should kidnap him, line up around one at a Time, and beat the crap outta Tim in an orderly fashion!" Maggie then told him, suggesting to beat him up... Professionally.
"Both of you, stop it. Look, We don't know 100% if this person we saw him with is the real deal or not. For all we know, He must've had a group project in one of his classes and He's just chatting with them to see what they're gonna do" Harley told everyone.
"Then, It seems like we'll have to figure that out for ourselves." Maggie said.
"The Mag is right! Razzy! Change of plan, You and Maggie try and get people to tell you guys about Tim, Me and Harley are gonna try and spy on him and find out what the deal is" Thomas said.
"That's not a good idea, Thomas. It wouldn't exactly be right to just eavesdrop on someone just because you have suspicions. He probably doesn't want anyone to know." Harley protested, knowing that it was a bad idea to go with. "But we should at least keep it to ourselves without letting him know that we know. Besides, He OWES us the truth after all we tried doing for him." Maggie retorted.
"I guess that's fair. But how are we supposed to spy on him to figure out what he's up to?"
"Oh don't worry! I have my methods!"
Time: 2:45 pm
Some of the students at CHS had either left to go home or are still at school for any extra classes, clubs, etc. Razzle and Maggie went together to try and get other students' opinions and got mixed results. Some students seem to find interest in Timothy while others may consider steering away.
They had then encountered the Humane Seven aka The Girls with the vast "Magic Touch". They all seemed to have gathered around the statue from the front of the building and Razzle brought Maggie over to them as Razzle knew them rather well.
"Why hello, Ladies!" Razzle spoke out to them as they looked at her and waved. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash spoke.
"Hello" Sci-Twi said.
"Razzy! Raspberry!" Pinkie said.
"Hey Razzle, What's up?" Sunset asked.
"I was meaning to get your opinions on a Friend of mine if you girls are willing to give me your honest answers" Razzle explained to them. "Speakin' of Friend, Who's this other girl that's with ya?" Applejack then asked, referring to Maggie.
"Oh! Girls, This is my roommate and best friend, Maggie! Maggie, These are the girls. Twilight Sparkle or Sci-Twi, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Applejack. Girls, Maggie" Razzle introduced Maggie to each of them, one by one and Introducing the Girls to Maggie. "¡Hola, es genial conocerlos todos!" Maggie spoke in a Different Language. ("Hi, It's cool to meet you all")
"Oh...I'm sorry, what did she say?" Rarity asked.
"Oh, My bad! Sometimes, I end up speaking Spanish." Maggie explained.
"Maggie is Hispanic so she does tend to speak the Native Language that she comes from" Razzle added.
"I'm also Brazilian, too. From my mom's side"
"Really? Now THAT is awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.
"¡Esta chica sabe de lo que estoy hablando!" ("This girl knows what I'm talking about!")
"Anyway, We wanted to come by and ask you if you're able to give us some of your most honest opinions on another Friend of ours" Razzle tells them. "Another friend? Who might that be?" Sunset asked Razzle.
"Have any of you heard of a Boy named "Timothy Mackenzie?"
"Timothy? Isn't that guy in my science class who sits in the back of the room? I honestly didn't notice him that much. He was always so quiet I thought I was just seeing things" Sci-Twi told her.
"Can't say that I've ever met the fella before. Cept' there was that one time when He hit someone in the face with an Apple Pie and I kinda got mad at him for it. Serves him right for disrespectin' a perfectly good pie!" Applejack said, slightly offended.
"Oh dear...He came to me and asked me if I could make a New Shirt for him since his old one got dirty and the stains were impossible to clean out. I told him to wait where he was until I was done until Sweetie Belle came and spilled a Bucket of Water onto him...Long story short, I'm surprised he wasn't given a Restraining Order by her..." Rarity said.
"I'm sure that he is capable of being a good person...but he kind of scares me with his angry look, sometimes..." Fluttershy nervously said.
"Isn't he the Cranky, Sweaty, Angry, Hangry, Tangy, Bangy, Langy, Stanley that Thomas is related to? They look the same! I didn't know Thomas could clone himself like that! To think, I was the only one!" Pinkie Pie spoke. Everyone chose to pretend that they didn't hear her.
"Oh boy, Do I have stories to tell you! I've met the guy, plenty of times before! He was always the Mad Lad when it came to being around people! I mean, I'm not kidding when I say, He's got about enough personality as a Honey Badger" Sunset spoke with Enthusiasm and the most interest. She seems to be the one who has the most interaction with Timothy out of them all, but not much for good ones.
"I take it that you must know him the most?" Razzle suggested. "Razzy, When I keep running into that guy, He always does what he can to get under my skin but I like to get payback by playing him at his own game! Sometimes, I even like to pull pranks on him since It kind of is funny how Mad he gets! One time, I found them sleeping in the Library when Ms. Cheerlie left and strapped him to one of those Tetherball Poles and tried to get people to knock the ball into him"
"Isn't that kind of harsh?" Sci-Twi interjected.
"Twilight, The guy is always yelling at others for nothing, Calls all of us names, and he laughs at us whenever something bad happens to someone. What I did was serve him some Hardy Dish of Karma and somebody needed to knock him down a peg. Plus, He kind of reminds me a little too much of Trixie and We're actually on better terms nowadays" Sunset retorted.
"She kinda makes a good point. Dude, Timmy is not the Ray of Sunshine that we wish he was. But at least he isn't a Bully. He's just kind of a Big Jerk" Maggie added.
"Or more accurately, OUR big Jerk" Razzle corrected. "I kinda feel sorry for you guys that you're friends with a Guy like him. No offense" Sunset said.
"Don't be. As much as we agree with some of your accusations, We still consider Timothy our good friend. Just like his Twin Brother, We all grew up with him since we were kids. I'm sure that he's not all bad" Razzle said and speaking upon his defense.
"Yeah! Especially after we saw him around some Girl, earlier! Either, He's been lying to us or He might secretly have a "More than Friend" situation with her" Maggie joked. "OMG! DO I HEAR LOVE IN THE AIR!? IS TIMMY-WILLY ACTUALLY DATING SOMEONE!?!?" Pinkie Pie, excitedly shouted.
"We aren't quite sure what it's all about but we're still waiting to see once his Brother and Maggie's Sister, Harley, come back"
"Say, What are they up to, anyway?" Sunset asked.
"Thomas took my sister with him and said that He was gonna go spy on his brother to find out" Maggie told her. "HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO WHAT!!" Sunset shouted, worried.
"Why? Is that a Problem?" Razzle asked.
"...oh crap..." Sunset leads everyone over to the Dumpster that was around the other side of the school building she opens it up and finds Thomas Harley inside of it as they tried climbing out of it. "Oh sweet fresh air! I've missed you, greatly!" Harley said, joyfully and tried to crawl out of the dumpster but she was too short to reach the top.
"I think I found an old slipper in there." Thomas and Harley get out of the Dumpster as they stand back up after falling to the ground. "When and How did you guys end up there?"
"Well, perhaps ask Mr. "Oh don't worry! I have my methods!" about that!" Harley said, looking at Thomas with an Obviously Angry look on her face.
"I was trying to get Harley to help me spy on Tim by finding out where He and this girl that was with him were going and we tried to hear their conversations by hiding somewhere nearby" Thomas tried to explain. "What went wrong there?" Razzle asked.
"It turns out, Tim has eyes in the back of his head and finds us. He then tossed it into this Dumpster afterward"
"If there's one thing that Tim will go ballistic over anything else, It's when people spy on him. He HATES when people stare at him and even more when he doesn't notice" Sunset mentioned.
"Well, Did you two manage to at least get any news?"
"Yes! Oh, wait a minute...uhhh...no." Thomas said.
"The only thing that we did manage to get was a Picture of the girl that he was with but that's all we could get" Harley then pulled out her phone before showing everyone the picture of the girl that Timothy seems to have been interacting with
"That's the girl? Hmm... I've never seen anyone like her around here before" Sunset said.
"Me neither" Sci-Twi said.
"I will say, I do love the way her hair looks!" Rarity added.
"She looks like she's one of those really Tough Girls like me!" Rainbow Dash said.
"..." Spike on the other hand seemed to have an Expression of Curiosity when looking at the Picture of the Girl. "What's wrong, Spike?" Sci-Twi asked her talking dog.
"...I don't know...but there's something about this girl that...I find it really familiar..." Spike said, thinking as though he may have seen her somewhere before but can't put his Paw on it. "So, This is the Mystery Girl that's been plaguing our minds from the beginning"
"But what sort of business does she have with Tim?" Maggie asked.
"Hmm, I would say the best way to solve this, Is to have him tell us" Applejack suggested.
"Oh no! No! No! NO! I am NOT getting thrown into another Dumpster, again! I'm outta here! I'm taking a Bath!" Harley angrily walks away and back home
"Uhh, okay? So, How are we gonna get the guy to tell us? Doesn't seem like he's just gonna openly admit to it" Maggie admitted.
"I've got another idea!" Thomas said.
Time: 3:00 pm
Meanwhile, Timothy was sitting on the bleachers, at the Soccer Field He was alone and reading his books like usual. Until Pinkie shows up to him. "Hi Timmy-Willy!!" Pinkie greeted.
"Ugh. Not you." Timothy said, already annoyed.
"Aw come on Timmy-Willy! Don't give me that gloomy look! I just want to say Hi!"
"Great. Then good talk, Goodbye."
"Wait! Hold on! I wanted to also give you something! I promise It'll be amazing!"
"If it's another surprise wedgie, I will make sure that you're dead meat for good"
"Nope! It's not a Wedgie, silly! It's a Gift!"
""A...present?
'Yup! It's all for you!!
"...Is it going to explode when I try to open it?"
"Huh?"
"The present! Does it have a Bomb inside it!?"
"Why would there be a Bomb, Silly? I wanted to give you something that you'll really like!"
"That's a lie. You don't just give someone a Present even when there's no occasion for it. In fact, I bet someone is trying to RECORD ME!" Timothy stands up and started pointing in every direction around to try and find if there was any recording of him. But nobody else was there.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You're so funny, Timmy-Willy!" Timothy grunted while Thomas and Maggie were hiding from afar.
"Okay fine. If I open this, Will you leave me alone?" Pinkie nods, very fast and Timothy sighs as he opens the Present and a Boxing Glove springs out of it and hit him in the face. He then went unconscious.
Time: 3:30 pm
Timothy woke back up again to see that he was back home. Except, He was tied to one of the chairs that were in the dining room and he couldn't get out. Everyone else had gathered around him. "What the!? Sunset! Thomas! What's the meaning of this! Untie me, this instant!" Timothy spoke, shocked and angry. "¡Callarse la boca!" ("Shut up!") Maggie slaps Timothy across his face.
"Ow! What the heck is going on!?"
Maggie slaps him, again. "I said, ¡Callarse la boca! ¡Pequeña rata mentirosa!" ("Shut up! You lying little rat!")
"Okay Tim, We know that you've been hanging around with some person that even we have never seen before! So, We want you to tell us who that girl is and Why were you hanging out with her" Thomas said as Maggie him agree to try and play "Good Cop, Bad Cop"
"What!? You seriously went through all of this just to know about her!?" Timothy retorted.
"You better stop complaining and better start spilling the beans! Or else!" Maggie threatened. "Or else, what?"
Rainbow Dash brings all of the books that Timothy made and wrote himself before setting them all into one pile. "We don't want to have to do this to you, Timothy. If you just tell us what we need to know then this doesn't have to mean" Razzle said.
"You're about to see how mean I can GET! Don't you dare touch my books!" Timothy shouted.
"That depends, Are you gonna tell us?" Sunset asked.
"Never!" Sunset nodded over to Applejack and Pinkie Pie as both of them pulled out Lighters and hung them over his book. "No! You wouldn't!"
"Oh we would! So, unless you'd like to see your precious books get engulfed in an Indoor House party for Firestorms, We'd suggest you start talking!" Maggie said.
"Okay! Okay! Fine! I'll talk!...geez..." Timothy cracked. Applejack and Pinkie Pie get rid of the Lighters before blowing out the tips.
"If all of you seriously want to know THIS badly, then fine. I'll explain" Everyone then sits down, Chris Cross, Applesauce-Style, and looks up at Tim, Ready to hear.
"It happened around 2 weeks ago when I was in Town, trying to get a new Hard covered book since all of my other ones have completely been filled out from all the writing. I bumped into the Girl that you all saw me with and she told me that her name was "Ember." At first, I didn't want much to do with her until she got my interest when she saw my book. Curiosity got the best of me and I chose to at least explain to her that I make some of the stories myself. She seemed to like them a lot and I chose to talk more with her. She seemed like a pretty nice person to be around and I chose to try and keep everything between us as a Secret from everyone else since I didn't want anyone to know about this, let alone get any ideas. We kept seeing each for the last couple of days until I found out that she was homeless and was in need of a place to live. She asked me if I could be able to help her but I didn't know if I had what it took to tell her I couldn't even when she seemed like someone I would be comfortable to be around. I then choose to talk with her into coming up with a third option that could work for both of us" Timothy explained the whole story, leaving everyone to be speechless for a moment.
"What's that?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"The deal was that I could help her find a New Home but it had to be with me or someone else in our neighborhood. Specifically them." Timothy referred to Maggie, Harley, and Razzle
"So, You were trying to come up with a Plan to help get a place to stay?" Sci-Twi asked.
"Yes. I was hopefully going to try and see how it would all be planned out until you all just had to drop in and disturb the process, once again"
"But then, Why would you lie about hating Friendship if literally EVERYTHING that you're doing for Ember is considered Friendship, anyway?" Sunset asked.
"..." Timothy went quiet for a brief moment before speaking. "Okay look. Do I think that Friendship is worth having? Let alone, hold onto? Absolutely not. It's a waste of time...but seeing someone on the streets alone, by themselves, and not even at least getting a chance to take a bath because nobody will give it to them? That's even worse than Friendship. I figured that maybe I could prove that I'm not THAT heartless by at least helping someone in need and that's it...besides, at least she actually likes my writing..." Timothy tells them, leaving Thomas to be the most excited, thrilled, and heartwarming by this revelation.
"Awww! That is SO sweet of you! I told you guys that He does care!" Thomas told them. "Well, We never said that ALL of him was bad."
"Don't get any ideas. Just because I'm doing this for Ember, doesn't mean that I'm not changing" Timothy bickered. "Uh huh, suuuuuuuurrrrrrrre" Thomas, doubtfully said.
"Could someone get me out of this chair already?" Sunset and Sci-Twi untie the rope and he gets up after being freed.
"So, You say that Ember is homeless and that she's in need of a Home? That's rather sad to hear but how are we gonna help her with that?" Razzle asked. "Oh! She can come over and live with us! Maggie and Harley already have you as a Roommate, Having one for ourselves would be so cool!" Thomas suggested.
"What!? No way! I said I was going to help FIND a new home! Not live in mine!" Timothy refused. "Come now Darling, It's the least that you can do her! You were the one insisting on doing this for her in the first place" Rarity called him out. "Yeah, It can't be that bad" Applejack said.
"Do you have any idea of how stressful and exhausting it can be living with Thomas? Having to deal with Two of him is where I draw the line! That's a deal-breaker!" Timothy still refused.
"Listen Tim, I know that you and I don't exactly get along that well. Me and Trixie used to be like that and nowadays, We can actually seem to see eye to eye. I think that letting Ember live with you guys or at least until she finds a new home would be a great idea" Sunset tried to reason with him.
"And think about it, While she's staying here, that means you'll have even more extra hands to help around the house You'll be able to talk with someone who likes your interests and books. On top of that, Thomas might even give you and Ember to each other. Maybe Thomas will finally leave you alone" Timothy hears them out as He stands and thinks about the Benefits that he could reap, If he were to agree.
"Hmm, I didn't think of it like that... Alright...She can stay here." Timothy then reluctantly agreed to let Ember stay with them and Everyone was happy. "YAY!!!" Everyone cheered and excited as everyone then ran towards Timothy, locking him into a Group Hug.
"Don't touch me."
"Oh! I almost forgot! I have another gift for you, Timmy-Willy!" Pinkie Pie gives Timothy yet another present but Timothy then had another idea
"Actually, I think Thomas should be the one to open this one" Timothy hands the Present over to Thomas. "Me? Aww, Tim! That's really thoughtful! I wonder what's in-" A Boxing Glove springs out and punches Thomas in the face, knocking him out cold.
