Kickoff [Video/Massive Audio later]

[like_a_dragon]

[A green pony with a matted down brown mop-top appears on the scroll. From the furrowed brows, flared nostrils and fierce grimace, she does not appear... pleased.]

WHAT THE TARTARUS IS GOING ON HERE!?

[Taking a step away from the scroll would probably be a good idea...]

I can't even begin to count all the things that is wrong here! I mean, at first I thought this was a dream but then when somepony actually pinched me -- WITH THEIR MOUTH NO LESS -- I knew that this was actually real. Talking ponies? And the ones with wings? EVEN ONES WITH MAGIC HORNS?? I even saw one that brought in a raincloud! IT WAS RIGHT ON TOP OF ME!!

[She takes a moment and her hoof comes up to scrub off her hair and her face.]

Alright... you know what... considering everything else I have seen before a world of talking ponies is actually not that out there. And, hey, at least my fur color is one that I'd like. Just, in this case, I hope my friends aren't here to have this happen to them.

Also, I have to ask just one question...

Why couldn't I have been one of those cool ones with the wings?

EDIT:

[A little bit later there is a shout. A glorious shout. A mighty shout. It rings to the heavens and may even be heard as far as way as The Crystal Kingdom.]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PONIES DON'T EAT MEAT?!!!!

[Thanks, Teddie.]

EDIT: x2

[And a little bit after that there is another shout, though not quite as powerful, whatever is doing it definitely has a healthy set of lungs.]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO TV?!!

[Thanks, Rise.]

[like_a_dragon]

[Aaand even more surprises.]

Yu is here?!

[kingofthetvworld]

Sure is! And Yuki-chan and Rise-chan, too! We all stay at the same place like a big family and everything, isn't that great? I'm obviously the man of the house.

[Obviously.]

But like I said, you might wanna close your eyes when you talk to them. I'm sure they'll call you eventually if they haven't already, they could be busy. You kinda came during our...heehee...vacation...

[WHOOPS.]

[like_a_dragon]

[She rolls her eyes on being the man of the house. Sure, Ted, whatever you want to believe.]

..."heehee vacation," huh?

The way you're describing it, they're going on a honeymoon or something.

[kingofthetvworld]

I wish, but it's not that kinda vacation!

[There is no honey and barely any moons.]

Now try not to get too jealous, but we're currently at...the games.

[like_a_dragon]

Then maybe you should try to act a little less pervy or people might get the wrong idea.

[And then Teddie changed the subject.]

Why would I care about games?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie sways back and forth with a sassy smile on his face, puckering his lips tauntingly.]

Now now, Chie-chan. I can't help that girls are so cute~

[But his sassy demeanor vanishes when he sees Chie isn't as impressed as he thinks she should be. Cue sudden panic.]

Huh?! Why?! Why?! It's only the coolest thing I've ever been invited to! There's a big stadium and everything is made out of super sparkly crystal! L-Look!

[He takes his scroll and begins to pan it around so she can get a good look at the Crystal Empire. Like he said, everything is in fact, crystal.]

[like_a_dragon]

[At first she was just going to dismiss this part of the conversation as Teddie being TEddie, but after giving a look at that place:]

Whoooooa...

That is cool!

[kingofthetvworld]

[Fantastic, that's more like it. Teddie beams with pride once more.]

Honestly, if I knew you'd be coming, I'd probearly stay put so I could give you a proper Teddie greeting. I suppose it'll just have to wait. Until then, you should see if you can grab a train and meet up with us.

[like_a_dragon]

No, really, Teddie. That's okay. You can save the greeting for somebody else.

Like Yosuke.

[Still, if that's where everybody is, then it woudl be-hoove (ugh) her to head out that way.]

So that's where everybody is right now?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Yes...like Yosuke...]

Erm, speaking of! Is Yosuke with you? Like in a trash can near by or something?

[No reason, it's not like he misses him or anything.]

But yeah, gang's all here! I bet if you hurry, you can still make it in time to sign up for the remaining events!

[like_a_dragon]

You don't hear the sounds of whining and complaining, do you?

[No he's not there, and Chie's a bit too insensitive about it to really recognize that Teddie is sad about that.]

Is there any way to get over there quickly?

[kingofthetvworld]

Well sure, the train should get you there lickity split.

[like_a_dragon]

And where's the train?

I don't have your good nose, you know.

[A little flattery can't hurt...]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Oh, flattery, his favorite.]

You might need to ask around for help, but it's just outside the town!

[Bears are not good maps.]

Just keep an ear out for the CHOO CHOO and you'll find it in no time.

[like_a_dragon]

[Thanks for reminding her.]

I'll ask around town, then.

Is there anything else?

[kingofthetvworld]

Now that I think about it, there sure is!

[It just dawned on him that Chie's...unique interests might be of use to him.]

Did you bring any meat with you?

[like_a_dragon]

[Ping.]

No.

[No seriously, this is probably the most important thing mentioned so far today.]

Whyyyyyyy?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Heartbreak. Utter heartbreak.]

Because ponies don't eat meat and it drives me crazy!!

[He runs his big blue paws over his face as he whines.]

[Suddenly there is a shout. A glorious shout. A mighty shout. It rings to the heavens and may even be heard as far as way as The Crystal Kingdom.]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PONIES DON'T EAT MEAT?!!!!

[Thanks, Teddie.]

[kingofthetvworld]

[He'd be scared if he didn't agree.]

I KNOW!!!

[He isn't nearly as loud, but he shares the sentiment.]

[like_a_dragon]

That has to be, like, A CRIME! It's not natural! It's a sin in gastronomical proportions!!

WHO DO I WRITE TO?!

[kingofthetvworld]

I DUNNO!! The pony mayor?! It's terrible, Chie-chan, they eat grass sandwiches and hayburgers and...and...

[Does he even need to say more?!]

If I didn't have my supply, I don't know what I'd do.

[like_a_dragon]

[DING.]

Supply?

YOU HAVE A SUPPLY?!

[Not for long...]

[kingofthetvworld]

GAH!! NO! I mean...s-sure, but it's halfies, I share it with Kyo-chan! We found a whole bunch of jerky and keep it safe in a spare room, but it won't last forever and I reeeeaaaally need it or else- WELL you don't need to know about that!

[No one needs to know about his embarrassing pillow chewing habit.]

I-I can maybe grab you a piece or two if it'll make you happy...
