## Transcript

(We open on tourists boating until Mrs. Smith, a guest, yells for help when he diamond necklace falls to the water)

Mrs. Smith: Captain! Captain! My diamond necklace fell into the lake! Please help me find it.

(The captain searches for the necklace with a fishing net but nothing turns up)

(We see the family of Twilight Sparkle her brother Shining Armor, her sister in law and his girlfriend/wife Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadence and their daughter and her niece Furry Heart who is only a child and we have Spike Twilight's dog who can talk due to being observed by her friend Fluttershy's magic and finally we have the beatnik hippie Sandalwood who is having his legs crossed and his hands both on their palms together)

Sci-Twi:I can't wait to get to the fishing lodge.

Spike:Me too. I mostly can't wait to catch a fish and then eat it.

Sandalwood:I can't wait to expose my motions to the forest. It's rad.

Cadence:We're almost there. Only one more mile left and we'll arrive.

Shining Armor:Actually we're here.

(They pull up to lakeside resort and carry the bags)

Cadence:Twilight can you get Flurry for me?

Sci-Twi:Of course Dean Cadence, or Principal Cadence.

Cadence:Just Cadence.

Sci-Twi:Ok.

Sandalwood:Thanks for inviting me to come on your holiday Twilight.

Sci-Twi:Anytime Sandalwood.

(Carries his suitcase in while holding it with one arm wrapped around one part and the other wrapped around the other side of it and Spike is carrying one in his mouth Twilight gets Flurry out of her PAW Patrol car seat and picks up her suitcase and they enter the lodge)

Shining Armor:A week from Crystal Prep is just what I need.

Sandalwood:Like you said it.

Sci-Twi:Did you noticed that everyone is leaving?

Cadence:Maybe the owner can tell us about it.

Shining Armor:Now Cadence do you want a room together or...?

Cadence:I'll get a room with Twilight.

Spike:I'll sleep wherever Shining is gonna sleep at.

Sandalwood:Then you guys can bunk with me.

(At lunch that day the boat captain and the hotel owner stop to welcome the gang as Cadence placed Flurry in her highchair the two men came to greet them)

Hotel Owner:Welcome to the Lakeside Resort. Do you have a reservation?

Shinning Armor:It should be under Shining Armor Sparkle.

Hotel Owner:(Looks at the book)Is this the whole family with you?

Shining Armor:Yes sir.

(Hotel Owner eyes Sandalwood)

Hotel Owner:Including the hippie beatnik?

Sandalwood:Hey man!

(Hotel Owner chuckles)

Hotel Owner:Just kidding son. (Back to Shining Armor)Is he a distant relative or something?

Shining Armor:No he goes to the school where my little sister here goes to.

(Checks the book)

Hotel Owner:Ah there you are. Sorry everyone it's just that with all the nonsense of a monster running around scaring folks off I'm losing money. Only Mrs. Smith is worried about her necklace.

Sci-Twi:What's been going on? Why is everyone leaving?

Boat Captain:A fish monster has been chasing guests off our boat torus.

(Spike and Sandalwood begin to fidget as they read the menu)

Sandalwood:Whoa man! If I wasn't so hungry I'd leave too.

Shining Armor:We have to investigate. After lunch everyone meet in the lobby.

Spike:Uh-oh.

(Sandalwood is making sandwiches and putting the little mustard jar and little mayonnaise jar and little ketchup jar in his bag)

Cadence:Sandalwood what are you doing?

Sandalwood:Taking these sandwiches to go. For the road. I'll get the bags and meet you guys down in the lobby.

Spike:I'll help you.

Sci-Twi:But you guys didn't even drink your milk.

Sandalwood:Oh.

(They chug the glasses down)

Sandalwood:That was some good milk.

Spike:Yup. Eh we might as well eat.

(Sandalwood gets the stuff back out and they make sandwiches)

(Later everyone meets in the hotel lobby)

Shining Armor:Spike, you and Sandalwood can search the lake for clues. Cadence, Twilight and I will explore the resort.

Spike:Uh-uh.

Sandalwood:Like I agree. The monster us in the lake.

(Shining holds a box of Spikey Snacks and asks slyly)

Shining Armor:Would you do it for a Spikey Snack?

(He holds out two Spikey Snacks Sandalwood and Spike immediately gobble them down)

Sandalwood:Let's get this over.

Spike:Ok.

(They walk out cuts to outside where Cadence is on Shining's left side while Twilight is on his right side and Shining waves with his hand up and his right hand in his pocket Spike is following Sandalwood who stands there on the shore with his hands beside his hips)

(They decide to start their search with a boat tour just as the boat reaches the dock they see the Fish Monster climb onto the back of the boat)

Spike:(Jumps into Sandalwood's arms)Help!

Sandalwood:Like let's get out of here!

(They run away as fast as they can cuts to inside of the lodge where the gang talk to Mrs. Smith)

Mrs.Smith:(To Shining Armor and Cadence)They've called off the search for my priceless diamond necklace because of that fish monster. What ever will I do?

(Shining Armor is on the left side of her while Cadence is on Mrs.Smith's right side and Twilight is looking at a pice of paper)

Sci-Twi:Hey come come look at this. Someone has highlighted certain boat tour times on this schedule.

Mrs. Smith:Those are the times guests saw the monster. What could it mean?

Shining Armor:Something fishy is going on.

(The guys run into the lodge with the monster right behind them)

Sandalwood:The Fish Monster is chasing us!

Spike:Help! Help!

(The Fish Monster comes in behind them they run at full speed into the resort they run into the lobby past the gang and Mrs. Smith and hide behind a plant)

Sci-Twi:(Pulls on rope)Gotcha!

(Pulls the rope and the fishnet comes down onto the monster catching him)

(The gang gather around him and Twilight unmasks him to be)

Gang:(Minus Twilight)The hotel owner?!

Sci-Twi:He wanted to scare the guests away so he could find the diamond necklace for himself. He highlighted the times he would appear as the Fish Monster on the boat schedule.

Hotel Owner:I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids.

(Cuts to them walking to the lake)

Shining Armor:Now that the Fish Monster is gone we can finally relax,

Sandalwood:Twilight can I come on your next family outing? This holiday outing was radical.

Sci-Twi:Of course Sandalwood. (To Shining Armor)Wouldn't it Shining Armor?

Shining Armor:Yes he can.

Cadence:We'll be leaving tomorrow anyway.

(Spike jumps into the water for a swim when he surfaces he is holding the diamond necklace in his mouth)

Sandalwood:Spike found Mrs. Smith's necklace! Great job Spike!

(Spike giggles and the rest of the gang laughs we then fade to Canterlot City at the Sweet Shoppe where they are reading the Canterlot Press)

Shining Armor:Hey listen to this guys. (Reads newspaper)Fish Monster is the catch of the day for kids and dog. (Cuts to the newspaper headline where it is capitalized and the photo is of them when they caught the owner)Mrs. Smith retrieves her necklace and is forever grateful to the kids and dog for catching the monster and saving her lost necklace and hotel owner is now incarcerated.
