//------------------------------// // The late night double feature picture show // Story: The Rocky Horror Pony Show // by Fonzie //------------------------------// When it comes to the night, you'd usually expect people having a night on the town or doing some last minute shopping for an anniversary they remembered at the last minute. But this wasn't the case here, for a long line of ponies, griffons, hippogriffs, and other creatures were lined up in front of the largest theater in equestria, waiting for tonight's midnight movie. Some carried an odd assortment of things instead of the usual food and drinks they'd sneak in, others wore rather odd costumes, sometimes it would be both. "I can't wait for the show to begin." Pinkie Pie said to her friends. "I've been waiting for this for a long time." Said Zephyr Breeze, not trying to flirt with Rainbow Dash for once, which was a relief. "I hope the kids are OK being home alone." Mr. Cake said to his wife, who gave him a pat on the back, as long as they got what they came for, it would be worth it. "It's almost showtime, brace yourselves!" Inside the theater, the employees scattered about, doing this and that to get ready for the impending swarm of fans that gathered here today. Among these employees was the "great and powerful Trixie", she would work at the theater on weekends when she wasn't touring or working at the school of friendship. She was walking around the theater, making sure that everything was in order before the show began, all the awhile singing to herself. Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still But he told us where we stand And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear Claude Raines was the invisible man Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong They got caught in a celluloid jam Then at a deadly pace it came from outerspace And this is how the message ran She shot one last look at the theater, knowing that a huge mess would befall the place. Everything seemed to be perfect.

Thankfully, Trixie didn't get caught in the sea of fans. Thanks to her magic, she was able to levitate herself above the crowd. I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel When Tarantula took to the hills And I really got hot when I saw Jeanette Scott Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills Dana Andrews said prunes give him the runes And passing them used lots of skills And when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills She proceeded to float all the way to a door that read "EMPLOYEES ONLY", and walked in, for that was her job, projecting the movie of the week, or this case midnight, to the audience.

She looked at her watch, it was going to be midnight in 5... 4... 3... 2... The sound of a grandfather clock tolling resounded throughout the theater, and every creature immediately went silent. For the show was about to begin. THE ROCKY HORROR PONY SHOW The crowd roared and cheered in excitement as the title came up. STARRING ANGEL DUST AS DR.
