CMC Episode Dream
14 years ago
Ponyville Elementary is taking a field trip to the great museum in Manehatten. Cheerilee has Twilight and Applejack as chaperones for the trip, and while Twilight is in nerd heaven showing the girls the museum and it's vast pony history lessons, Applejack is not as happy to be back in the big city.
"I ain't been here since forever, but I did draw the short straw. Guess a little trip wont hurt none."
The CMC and Twist are looking at the various exhibits, amazed when they come upon the vast recreation of the tomb of young colt king
Hooflankhamane.
"King Hoof... was the youngest Pharaoh of the vast Equestrian desert... "
Twist: "Dessert? I bet that cake was huge!"
Scoot: "No. Desert. As in sand and sun with no surf. No wonder he looks sad."
They look at the stone wall craving and the images of the little unicolt ruler. He seems a bit sad in the carvings.
"Well no wonder he's sad. Lookit!"
Sweetie points to King Hoof's flank. It's blank in all the images.
Scootaloo rolls her eyes bumping a vase, that Twist catches and returns with a wipe of her brow.
"No way! Even this guy! Sheesh."
They look at the sarcophagus and start to wonder if he had a blank flank even when, you know...
"Well, I'm ain't gonna look! Ah, cant even lift the lid!"
They all look to Sweetie and her horn.
"No way! He'll be all mummy and gross!"
"C'mon Sweetie, it'll just be a peek!"
She gives in and starts to concentrate, her little alicorn glowing brighter when trying to lift the stone lid, soon the glowing flashes the room, the stone coffin glowing purple as her unicorn magic flickers out, the lid slides back and as they all screw up the courage to look in, a tan unicorn colt with black hair pops his head out of the ornate box, his bandages falling off his mane.
"Uh... hello?"
They all scream and run to the corner of the exhibit room.
With bravery, Scoot faces down the now emerged Boy King, looking at them with shyness, his bandages completely off as he is in his regal saddle skirt.
"Okay, b-back off mummy boy!"
They proceed to see how scared he is in the unfamiliar surroundings, and with care they help him to calm down and as they share the rest of the museum with him, even stopping at the gift shop. Twilight and the stuffy curator, Mr Teeks, keep almost running into the crew with the resurrected ruler. The gift shop escape happening when Hoof pretends to be a mannikin in a display of his own souvenir merchandise.
They learn he was indeed without a cutie mark, as his long days of being the king never gave him the chance to find that special something that made him special. He was born into his role, and had no time for hobbies or "fun".
So the girls proceed to help him try as many activities within the museum as he can, all while still avoiding Ms. Cheerilee,TS, AJ. and Teeks They try everything from art to dancing, all of which are fun, but never click with the little king. Then in the history of pony sports, a soccer ball is the last of the sports they try, the CMC and Twist all looking exhausted. The king taps the strange ball with a hoof, and then proceeds to dance it between his legs, ricocheting the ball around the hall. TS turns the corner seeing the mess they made of the room and is about to freak when the ball clonks her derpy.
They run from the hall back to the tomb display room and all the while the King is bouncing the ball happy about himself. As he gives a great kick past a few stone guardians in the display, he feels the joy of finding what he loves. A glow shines on his flank and a whooshing Soccer ball is now his cutie mark! He gives all the girls a hug (Twist blushing red as her hair) as the sarcophagus glows pink from within.
"Uh, I think that's my cue... Thank you all!"
He bounces his ball as he enters the stone box with it, and the decorate holder flashes again, looking as if it never was disturbed.
Applejack enters the room as all is back to normal. "Ah found em! Now where have you girls been all this time! Been worried sick about you four!"
Cheerilee follows helping a confused looking TS. "You didn't wreck this room too, the curator is livid!"
"Indeed, why the crayon scrawls on my walls will ne- My word! What did you...do?"
Mr Teeks looks closely with his thick glasses at the wall carving and the ancient artifact now shows a laughing Hooflankhamane, kicking a ball with other pony. His flank in all the artifacts now showing the ball design cutie mark.
All the girls smile to the flabbergasted adults.
Sweetie answers with an honest reply, "Helping a friend!"
