Movie Magic

Welcome to Tales of Canterlot High: Movie Magic!!

3rd Person POV

Fade in to the summit of a volcano, a trickle of lava oozing down from the glowing hot crater as lightning rips the night sky above. Zoom out slowly to put it in a jungle clearing; at its base are two stone totems with blazing braziers carved into the heads. As the camera stops at ground level, a figure in a gray hooded cloak steps into view toward the volcano. A close-up frames a pencil-thin mustache and goatee on the shadowed chin visible under the hood, an upside-down triangular gold brooch at the throat, and a wedge of bush shirt and brown pants beneath the cloak, crossed by the strap of a satchel. The figure stops and throws its head back, revealing short black hair, pale brown eyes, and a light gray complexion, and laughs exultantly into the storm. This is Stalwart Stallion; zoom out slightly to frame him standing between the beacons. His pant legs are tucked into his black boots.

"It is almost time." Stalwart stated. 

He fishes in the satchel and pulls out a short gold staff, set with a small ruby at one end and a much larger one at the other, on the next line.

"Once I have all three relics, no one will be able to stop me—and Marapore will fall! For I am Stalwart Stallion!" Stalwart stated. 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Rainbow Dash shouted. 

The thunder and lightning stop abruptly, and confusion takes hold as he lowers the staff. Now another male voice is heard through a bullhorn.

"Aw, cut!" The producer shouted. 

A quick zoom out reveals that this bit of drama has been taking place on a soundstage in a movie studio. The speaker is Canter Zoom, seated in a director's chair next to a camera attended by a technician. Seen from behind, he has medium green hair shot through with lighter streaks and tied back in a ponytail, a short beard/mustache, a khaki shirt under a darker vest, and lighter pants. A head-on shot picks out the Rainbooms gathered behind him, with Spike perched on an extra chair. Canter's large square eyeglasses can now be seen over his scarlet eyes, which he uses to shoot a nasty glare in Rainbow's direction; in addition, he has a patch of a movie clapper board on one shirt sleeve and an identification badge on a lanyard around his neck. As he lowers the bullhorn, one more detail becomes clear: Dusk Shine and Rainbow are both wearing the magic pendants they received at the end of Legend of Everfree, but none of the other students have followed suit.

"Sorry, but at this point in the story, Stalwart Stallion would be known as Mojo." Rainbow Dash stated. 

She makes quotation marks with her fingers to accentuate this last word, after which Dusk makes a frantic "shut it" gesture that goes completely unnoticed. 

"What? You think he wants Daring Do fans to call him out for making a mistake like that?" Rainbow Dash asked. 

"Let's go again. (through bullhorn) And this time, say "Mojo" instead of "Stalwart Stallion," 'kay?" Canter stated. 

"And, action!" Canter shouted.  

Y/n POV

Canter Zoom leading the Rainbooms on a walk through the studio. Fluttershy is carrying Spike.

"I can't believe we're really here!" Rainbows exclaimed. 

"Thank you so much for letting us come, Mr. Zoom." Dusk stated. 

"We promise we won't get in the way...again." Sundown stated, looking at Rainbows with an arm around my waist. 

"As a fellow Camp Everfree alum, I was more than happy to afford the girls who helped save it the chance to visit the set of our little film." Canter stated.
