*Celestia and Solaris are looking in disappointment at Twilight and Dusk*
Celestia/Solaris- *hurt* Twilight, Dusk if you both thought we were bad actors why didn't you tell us?
Twilight/Dusk- *ears flatten in fear* *worried* We're so sorry! We didn't mean to insult your acting! We were just stressed! *bows in worry*
Celestia/Solaris- *arches their eyebrows*
Twilight/Dusk- *sincere and ashamed* But that's no excuse for what we said. You both have every right to be upset at us.
Celestia/Solaris- *serious* We're not upset because you both insulted our acting...
Twilight/Dusk- *rises* *concerned* You're not?
Solaris- *scolding* We're upset because in all the time we've known each other, we thought we taught you both about friendship, trust and honesty *they fly away*
Twilight/Dusk- Celestia! Solaris! Wait!! *starts to fly after them but Pinkie and Bubble grab them*
Pinkie- *worried*You guys can't leave now. Look!
*they see crowds starting to gather*
Fluttershy/Butterscotch- *worried* Everypony is starting to gather
Rainbow/Blitz- *smirks* Standing room only! Did we do a good job of advertising or what?! *sees that everyone glares at them* *ears flatten* Sorry...
Starlight/Stellar- *worried* We can't put on a show with no lead actor or actress...
Sunset/Glare- *thinks hard* *serious* *lifts up Twilight and Dusk* Ok, listen up. Twilight, Dusk and us'll go find Celestia and Solaris and you guys stall until we get back *nods to Twilight and Dusk*
Twilight/Dusk- *flies off*
Sunset/Glare- *follows them*
Discord/Eris- *thinks* Hmm...*teleports off*
Spike/Barbra- *worried* Good luck, nopony's gonna volunteer to try to tame that.
Rarity/Elusive- *smirks at them* Nopony...indeed
*the others smirk at Spike and Barbra*
Spike/Barbra- *goes onstage grinning nervously with bowling pins about to juggle*
*meanwhile*
Twilight/Dusk- *flies and sees Celestia and Solaris* Princess Celestia, Prince Solaris! Please wait! Can we talk?!
Sunset/Glare- *levitating next to them*
Celestia/Solaris- *serious* I'm afraid we haven't much to say. *flies lower*
Twilight/Dusk- *follows them* Alright. Just listen.
Twilight- *sincere* You've guided me and Dusk since we were a filly and a colt, you've both given us knowledge, and guidance and friendship.
Dusk- *serious* Just once we wanted to be able to give something back to you two.
Celestia/Solaris- *looks at them solemnly*
Twilight- We know what we did was wrong, we should've told you two the truth.
Dusk- *regretful* But we promised you two could be in our play. We had to make it work.
Both- *admits sadly* Nothing would make us feel worse than knowing we disappointed you two.
Celestia/Solaris- *solemn* You really mean that? *flies up to a cloud*
*the four follow and sit across from her*
Twilight/Dusk- *deeply* Of course. We look up to you two more than anypony we've ever met. We...(Celestia/Solaris- *serious* Not only will you not move on to the next level of your studies, you won't continue your studies at all!) *breathes worriedly with their eyes taking a green glint* hate letting you both down...like we did...*their ears flatten sadly*
Sunset/Glare- *comforts them*
Celestia/Solaris- *sighs* You both had good intentions...*serious* But you two know that the truth is better than a well meant lie.
Twilight/Dusk- *looks down sadly*
Celestia/Solaris- *puts a wing on them* Didn't Applejack and AJ remind you two of that?
Twilight- *sighs* Only a hundred times.
Dusk- *to them* But since we didn't listen to them, we ruined your whole ones-a-versary
Celestia/Solaris- *looks at each other with a calm smile* Well we don't know about that.
Celestia- *to them* Isn't there an old saying: The show must go on?
Solaris- *smiles at them* There still might be a way to save the play yet.
Twilight- *concerned* But how?
Dusk- *to them* If we're being completely honest...
Both- *ears flatten with a nervous smile* You both aren't actors...
Sunset/Glare- *smiles*
Celestia/Solaris- *smiles calmly* No, but we are royalty...
Twilight/Dusk- *smiles sincerely but screams in pain as they get blasted in the back and falls of the cloud*
Sunset/Glare/Celestia/Solaris- *gasps in horror* TWILIGHT! DUSK! *flies down to try and catch them*
Twilight/Dusk- *they quickly recover and land on the ground* *winces in pain at their scorched wings*
Sunset/Celestia/Solaris/Glare- *lands next to them in worry* Are you two alright?
Twilight/Dusk- *shows them their singed wings while wincing in pain* *weakly* Our wings...
Celestia/Solaris- *levitates them on their backs* *to Sunset and Glare* We need to get them to the hospital immediately!!!
*a dome of flames surrounds them*
Celestia/Solaris/Sunset/Glare- *tries to blast their way out but it won't work*
Voices- *sinisterly* That won't work, your majesties...
Celestia/Solaris- *serious* Show yourselves!!!
*the flames swirl and form into two ponies with off white coats, flaming manes and tails, and red eyes*
Twilight/Dusk- *recognizes them in fear* How is this...
Sunset/Glare- *looks at them in worry* Who are they?
Celestia/Solaris- *concerned*
Twilight/Dusk- *sighs weakly* Our...rage...*they fall into unconsciousness*
Celestia/Solaris/Sunset/Glare- *worried*
Rage Twilight/Rage Dusk- *sinisterly* You two should have never kept us concealed...*laughs evilly creating a whirlwind of flames*
