Play Actor in Equestria - One Shot

>Day Shakespearicles in Equestria

 

>You walk out onto the stage, all eyes on you.

>The actors are set, your lines are memorized.

>It's not a huge deal, but you're determined to do your best.

>You were an actor at heart after all, so you jumped at the chance to act in a play.

>It was the first role you had since coming to the magical world of p0nies, and that was enough for you.

>There it is, your cue!

>You step forward with a flourish, and open your mouth to speak your lines.

"Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we set our scene."

>Wait, what? that's not the line you're supposed to say, that's not even the right play!

"From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood, makes civil hands, unclean."

>Oh god, you can't stop.

>You feel compelled to continue, your body is disobeying you, what's going on?

>The other p0nies acting in the play step in at their respective parts and recite their lines as well.

>You can see the panic on their faces as the traffic of the stage is overrun by Romeo and Juliet for the next two hours.

>P0nies didn't even HAVE Romeo and Juliet, at least not this version.

>You know, you checked.

>Everyp0ny performs flawlessly, and as the play finishes, the curtain falls to scattered, confused applause and cheers, intermixed with stunned silences and blank stares.

>After the show closes, p0nies rush to interview the director of the play for answers.

>"How did this even happen, weren’t you supposed to be performing The Lion King?" a reporter inquires.

>Derpy: "I just don't know what went wrong!"

 

>Today was an iambic day.
