Opening Intro/When Will Our Lives Begin

*(We open on a beautiful day in the forest, featuring eight wanted posters before eight young male voices spoke)*

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) This is the story of how I died.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over, sarcastically) Really?

Male voice 1: (Voice-over, chuckles a bit) I'm kidding, how else would I be dead if I'm speaking? Anyway, seriously, this is actually a very fun story.

Male voice 3: (Voice-over) And the truth is, it isn't even ours.

Male voice 4: (Voice-over) This is the story of eight girls, consisting the Mane Eight in Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer, and Tempest Shadow AKA Fizzlepop Berrytwist.

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) And especially the main girl among them, named Fluttershy.

Male voice 5: (Voice-over) And it starts, with the Sun.

Male voice 6: (Voice-over) The Sun that started it all.

*(Then we cut to the Sun itself as it shines down onto the world)*

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the Heavens.

Male voice 7: (Voice-over) And from this small drop of Sun, grew a magic golden flower.

Male voice 8: (Voice-over) It had the ability to heal the sick and injured.

*(An old woman and an old man then later on stumbled onto that said flower)*

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) Oh, you see the old woman and old man over there? You might want to remember them both.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over) They're kind of important.

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) Well, centuries passed and a hop, skip, and a boat ride away there grew a kingdom.

Male voice 7: (Voice-over) And it is called the Kingdom of Corona.

Male voice 3: (Voice-over) And the kingdom was ruled by a beloved King and Queen named Derek and Odette.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over) And Odette, the queen, well, she was about to have octuplet babies, and she got sick.

Male voice 5: (Voice-over) Really sick.

Male voice 4: (Voice-over) And she was running out of time.

Male voice 3: (Voice-over) This was when the people usually start to look for a miracle.

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) Or in this case, a magic golden flower.

*(Hunter J and Myotismon enter the scene)*

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) Ah, I told you they'd be important.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over) You see instead of sharing the Sun's gift, this woman and her husband, Hunter J and Myotismon, hoarded its healing power and used it to keep themselves young, beautiful, and handsome for hundreds of years.

Male voice 7: (Voice-over) And all they had to do was sing a special song.

Hunter J and Myotismon: (Older sounding, then younger sounding) **Flower, gleam and glow**

**Let your power shine**

**Make the clock reverse**

**Bring back what once was mine**

**What once was mine**

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) All right, you get the gist.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over) They sing, and they turn young, beautiful, and handsome.

Male voice 8: (Voice-over) Creepy, right?

Guard 1: (Calling out) We found it!

Male voice 6: (Voice-over) The magic of the golden flower healed Odette.

Male voice 3: (Voice-over) And lo and behold, eight healthy baby girls, eight princesses, were born. Each with their own beautiful gold pink, gold indigo and gold fuchsia, gold rainbow, regular gold, gold lilac, gold magenta, gold and gold red, and gold fuchsia hair.

Male voices: (Voice-over) And we'll give you a hint; That's the Mane Eight, consisting Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer, and Tempest Shadow AKA Fizzlepop Berrytwist.

Male voice 6: (Voice-over) To celebrate their birth, Derek and Odette launched a flying lantern into the sky.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over) For that one moment, everything was perfect.

Male voice 7: (Voice-over, grimly) And then that moment ended.

*(Hunter J and Myotismon, aged again, sneaked into the nursery. The baby Mane Eight were asleep in their crib. Myotismon lifts a strand of each of their hair and Hunter J draws a pair of scissors from her cloak)*

Hunter J and Myotismon: (Whispering, older sounding, then younger sounding) **Flower, gleam and glow**

**Let your power shine**

**Make the clock re....**

*(Hunter J cuts each eight strands. They respectively turned pink, indigo and fuchsia, rainbow, blonde, lilac, magenta, red and yellow, and fuchsia and they fell upon the mattress, powerless. And on cue when they became powerless, Hunter J and Myotismon stopped singing and gasped quietly, shocked as they reverted back to their older selves)*

Male voice 3: (Voice-over) Hunter J and Myotismon broke into the castle and stole the eight children.

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) And just like that, gone.

Male voice 2: (Voice-over) Vanished out of thin air.

Male voice 4: (Voice-over) The Kingdom of Corona searched and searched, but they could not find the eight princesses.

Male voice 5: (Voice-over) But little did they know, for deep within a forest, in a hidden tower, Hunter J and Myotismon raised the children as their own.

Male voice 4: (Voice-over) For selfish, greedy reasons, obviously.

*(Inside a hidden tower, Hunter J is brushing each of the Mane Eight’s hairs as she and Myotismon gently held the hairs. And the Mane Eight are, by now, 6 years old)*

Young Mane Eight: **....Save what has been lost**

**Bring back what once was mine**

**What once was mine**

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) Hunter J and Myotismon have found their new magic flowers.

Male voice 3: (Voice-over) But this time, they were determined to keep them hidden.

Young Fluttershy: Why can't my sisters and I go outside?

Hunter J: Because the outside world is a dangerous place, filled with horrible, selfish people.

Myotismon: You must stay here, where you're safe.

Hunter J and Myotismon: Do you understand, our little flowers?

Young Mane Eight: Yes, Mommy and Daddy.

Male voice 1: (Voice-over) But the walls of that tower could not hide everything from the Mane Eight.

Male voice 4: (Voice-over) Each year on the Mane Eight's shared birthdays, Derek and Odette released thousands of lanterns into the sky in hope that one day, their lost princesses would return.

Tangled Parodies Studios present....

10 years later....

*(Spike hides behind a flower pot, and then the window bursts open, revealing the Mane Eight, now 16 years old)*

Mane Eight: (Shoves aside curtains) Ha!

Fluttershy: (Pretends to ponder) Hmm, well....

Twilight Sparkle: I guess Spike's not hiding out here.

*(Spike chuckles a bit, then Rainbow Dash's hair snatches him up. He shrieks)*

Rainbow Dash: GOTCHA!!!!

Spike: That's very clever, and that makes twenty-two for you.

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: How about twenty-three out of forty-five?

Spike: Ah, no thank you. And besides, I'm getting bored with this game.

Applejack: Okay, well, what do you want to do then?

Spike: (Points at the open window) Why not go play outside?

Rarity: Yeah, I don't think so, Spike.

Pinkie Pie: My sisters and I like it in here and so do you.

Spike: (Pouts a bit) I know that.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, come on Pascal, it's not so bad in there.

Sunset Shimmer: We could find better activities to do in here.

*(They start cleaning up the tower’s first and second floors quickly as the Mane Eight started to sing)*

Tangled (Bubbles8218 Version)

Fluttershy: **7:00 AM, the usual morning lineup**

Twilight Sparkle: **Start on the chores, we’ll sweep**

'**Till the floor’s all clean**

Applejack: **Polish and wax**

**Do laundry and mop**

Pinkie Pie: **And shine up**

Rarity: **Sweep again**

**And by then, it's like 7:15**

*(Once all the cleaning was done, the Mane Eight then each took three books from a bookshelf and began reading with Spike and then started painting on canvas walls in their room, played guitar, cooked soup for lunch, and knitted a cloth necklace as they continued to sing)*

Fluttershy: **So we'll read a book**

Twilight Sparkle: **Or maybe two or three**

Rainbow Dash: **We'll add a few new paintings to our gallery**

Applejack: **We'll play guitar and knit**

Sunset Shimmer: **And cook**

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: **And basically wonder**

Mane Eight: **When will our lives begin?**

*(After finishing their soup with Spike, the Mane Eight then did a bunch of hobbies they like to do in their spare time through their song, including having Spike temporally dressed up in a tiny grass green dress, much to his annoyance)*

Fluttershy: **Then after lunch, it's puzzles**

Pinkie Pie: **And darts and baking**

Rarity: **Papier-mâché, a bit of ballet**

Sunset Shimmer: **And chess**

Applejack: **Pottery and ventriloquy**

Rainbow Dash: **Candle making**

Twilight Sparkle: **Then we'll stretch**

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: **Maybe sketch**

Rainbow Dash: **Take a climb**

Rarity: **Sew a dress**

*(They then re-read the same books in a bored way and then looked around for more blank canvas walls to paint on and then brushed their own hair in front of eight separate mirrors)*

Twilight Sparkle: **And we'll re-read the books**

Fluttershy: **If we have time to spare**

Rainbow Dash: **We'll paint the walls some more**

Pinkie Pie: **We're sure there's room somewhere**

Mane Eight: **And then we'll brush**

**And brush and brush and brush our hair**

Fluttershy: **Stuck in the same place**

**We've always been**

Mane Eight: **And we'll keep wondering**

**Wondering**

**Wondering**

**Wondering**

**When will our lives begin?**

*(They then looked out the window dreamily)*

Fluttershy: **Tomorrow night**

Twilight Sparkle: **The lights will appear**

Rainbow Dash: **Just like they do**

Applejack: **On our shared birthdays**

Rarity: **Each year**

*(They noticed a blank canvas and they each painted a picture of them sitting on a grassy field together, watching lights in the night sky)*

Pinkie Pie: **What is it like?**

Sunset Shimmer: **Out there**

**Where they glow?**

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: **And now that we're older**

Mane Eight: **Mother and Father might just**

**Let us go**

*(They sighed softly after they finished painting as Spike watched in concern)*
