Episode 27: The Other Purple

(Act 1: We open on the interior of Twilight’s apartment. We see her sitting at her desk, pen in mouth. She is busy writing a note. She narrates it as she writes.)
Twilight: (V/O) Dear Norman, Hoping this letter finds you well.  I’m afraid I have to go back to Equestria (my Equestria, not the one that we are currently in). It seems that there are some issues regarding the recent elections in Ponyville and I have been called to help take care of the counting and recounting of the ballots. 
(We fade out and see Norman staring at the letter on the door. It is a series of scribbles and drawings. He looks incredibly confused)
Twi: (Continuing) If there is one thing you humans are good at, it is having fair elections. It’s not like you’ve ever had a screwed up election before, right? (Laughter) Anyways, I should only be gone for a few days. Spike is coming with me so you won’t need to take care of him. I’ll be sure to bring back souvenirs and make sure I am clothed when I come back through the mirror this time. (Laughter)  See you soon! Regards, Princess Twilight Sparkle.
Norman: (Staring, a look of pure confusion on his face)  Right.  What in Faust’s name does this say? (Laughter) Hey, Brad?
(Brad opens the door and slides out to applause)
Brad: What’s up, Norm?
Norman: Take a look at this note, will you?
Brad: That looks like Twily’s mouthwriting. (Laughter)
Norman: Yeah, so can you understand it.
Brad: Oh hell no! (Laughter) It is cute though.
Norman: Huh. Well, can’t be that important if she didn’t stop to tell us herself.
(In the background the audio of a radio can barely be heard)
Announcer: At this point, it would appear their Miss Sparkle, if she is in fact a separate person, is on her way to Canterlot College. Perhaps we will pass each other as I head to Crystal College to test my hypothesis.  Until then, there is only uncertainty.  As I leave you tonight, I wonder if my Crystal Counterpart is telling his listeners something similar? Stay tuned for the sound of forgiveness...that is to say, screaming followed by a hollow silence and as always...Good night Canterlot College, Good Night.
Norman: (Not listening too closely) So...anything good on the radio tonight?
Brad: Eh, I just had it on to have something on in the background while I baked a batch of cookies.
Norman: That’s what you’ve done all day? Well, I can’t wait to try some.
Brad: You’re going to have to wait until after I finish the clean batch.
Norman: Clean? Oh Faust, did you make cookies with Mary again?
Brad: No...noooo oh Faust no. These cookies just have roofies in them. (Laughter)
Norman: Oh thank Faust….I mean, No! (Laughter) No more drug cookies.
Brad: Aw, you’re no fun.
(Fade out and fade into the next day on campus. Norman is walking back from a class. Brad runs up to him)
Brad: Bro! Have you seen Twily anywhere?
Norman: And a fine morning to you too, Mr. Sentry. (Laughter)
Brad: Sorry, I’m just really nervous.  She wasn’t in class today and I haven’t found her in any of her usual spots.
Norman: Did you try the bookstore? 
Brad: Yeah.
Norman: The library?
Brad: She wasn’t there.
Norman: Did you check under the pile of books that she’s usually under on the third floor? (Laughter)
Brad: Of course, that was my first place to look.
Norman: What about the bookmobile?
Brad: I can confirm that she has not gone mobile. (Laughter)
Norman: That’s odd...and worrisome.
Brad: Damn straight it is.
Norman: Well, I’m done with classes today so I can help you look.
Brad: Thanks. 
(They wander about the campus asking around for Twilight. They walk up to numerous background characters showing her picture and getting negative replies.) 
Norman: This is too weird. It’s like she’s completely disappeared from the face of the earth.
Brad: (Visibly nervous) This isn’t good man! We need to find her.
Norman: Calm down. I’m sure she’s fine.
Brad: No man! Don’t you see?
Norman: See what?
Brad: When a girl goes missing, her boyfriend is always the prime suspect! I can’t go to prison! I’m too pretty! (Laughter)
Norman: Eh, it’s not that bad.
Brad: You were in Prison? 
Norman: Yeah...because a certain someone dressed as me and picked the wrong girl to mess with.
Brad: Oh yeah…(a smile as he reminisces) Chrysalis was pretty good. (Laughter) Well, least I got you out.
Norman: (Deep breath) Yeah, thanks again for that.
Brad: No problem. Seriously though, we need to find Twily.
Norman: (Seeing something) Well, I don’t think you need to worry about dropping the soap just yet old pal. (Laughter)
(We see Twilight standing on the quad, a remote like item in hand. She has glasses, a labcoat, and different hair.)
Norman: (Calling out) Hey! Purple!
Twilight: (Looking up) Purple? (Laughter to end scene)



(Act 2 opens where act one left off. Norman and Brad run up to Twilight)
Brad: Twily! We were worried about you!
Twilight: (Hastily hiding the remote machine in her hands) Eh? You were? I mean...you were? 
Norman: You should have seen him, Purple. He was shaking like a leaf he was so nervous. 
Twilight: S...sorry to make you worry then.
Brad: No worries, I’m just glad to see you. Come on, we were heading back to the apartment.
(They start walking, Norman in the front and Brad and Twilight following)
Brad: (under his breath to just Twilight) Still, I wasn’t expecting this.
Twilight: (Somewhat uninterested, checking the machine) Expecting what?
Brad: That outfit...the glasses, the hair done up.  We don’t usually do librarian play until Thursday nights. (Laughter)
Twilight: (Confused) Librarian play?
Brad: Yeah...I mean, if you’re down for it today, then I’ve been bad and forgotten to return my books. (he wiggles his eyebrows) (Laughter)
Twilight: (Completely ignoring him now, though blushing a little) Well, you should return them then.
Brad: Oh come on, at least be a little more engag…(notices the machine) Did you get a new phone?
Twilight: What?
(Brad reaches out and grabs it)
Brad: Weird. Visible antenna. No buttons but a knob. Is...is this a rotary throwback cell phone. (Laughter)
Twilight: Give it back!
Brad: Aw, come on Twily, let me play with it for a bit. (He starts fiddling with the knob)
Twilight: No! There’s no telling what might happ…
(A rift opens behind Brad)
Brad: (Seeing Twilight’s shocked expression) What? What’s wrong Twily? 
(A tentacle shoots out of the rift capturing Brad and dragging him in as he drops the remote. It closes) 
Twily: Considering he was a bit creepy, I’m kind of okay with this. (Laughter)
(Norman has been oblivious to this and turns around to find Brad gone)
Norman: I thought it had gotten really quiet. (Laughter) Where’d Brad go?
Twilight: Uh...he said he had to get some books he forgot.
Norman: Ah, I’ve got to say he’s starting to worry me.
Twilight: How so?
Norman: Well first he’s a nervous wreck and now he’s worried about school. It’s not like him since he’s usually an idiot. (Laughter)
(As they talk they are walking along the quad. Upperclassmen can be seen preparing a beachhead for Freshmen Friday while Fluttershy can be seen putting up posters about raising Lord Smooze) (Laughter)
Twilight: Curiouser and Curiouser.
Norman: What’s that, Purple?
Twilight: It’s just that this would never happen at Everton.
Norman: Well, of course not. Tim Howard wouldn’t stand for his teammates just abandoning him like that. (Laughter)
Twilight:What?
Norman: Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Newcastle United fan but I don’t like to talk about my depression. (Laughter)
Twilight: I...think I missed something.
Norman: Oh right...where you’re from they probably have hoofball or something, right?
Twilight: Hoofball?
Norman: Are you feeling well Purple? You’ve seemed off all day.
Twilight: Well about that, you see…
(Enter Bonbon and Lyra running in) 
Bonbon: Twilight! I need your opinion.
Twilight: Do I know you?
Lyra: Very funny Twi. Listen, I need your opinion too. 
Bonbon: (Shoving her) I was here first. Lyra ate all of the candy that I was saving for our movie night later.
Lyra: But it was for me so what does it matter if I eat it before?
Bonbon: Because it was meant for us! Together!
Lyra:We can always get more.
Bonbon: It’s the principle that counts. 
Lyra: Twilight, tell Bonbon she’s wrong.
Bonbon: I’m wrong? Twilight, show Lyra the error of her ways.
(Twilight just stares at the two of them and then back at Norman)
Norman: (Shrugging) Don’t look at me, you’re the Princess of Friendship.
Twilight: Princess of what-now? (Laughter)
(The three are staring expectantly back at her)
Twilight: Uh….(Pointing at Lyra) You probably shouldn’t have eaten all of the candy without asking...that plus you’ll probably get a bad stomach-ache from it later.
Bonbon: Ha! Told yo…
Twilight: (Interrupting) But you should be angry either. Instead you should forgive her...and probably nurse her through the stomach ache too. (Laughter)
(Bonbon and Lyra look at each other, apologize, hug and walk off waving to Twilight. She just takes a deep breath and sighs)
Norman: (Walking up to her and putting a hand on her shoulder) As expected of the Princess of Friendship. Come on, let’s go back to our place.
Twilight: Alright. (She starts to follow him only to freeze, eyes wide) OUR PLACE!??!
(Laughter to end the act) 


(Act three opens with Norman and Twilight walking through the halls toward his apartment. She seems nervous)
Twilight: So Norman, how would you describe our relationship?
Norman: Eh?
Twilight: I mean, how do you think of me?
Norman: (Stopping, in thought, then walking again) I guess I think of you a bit like a little sister. I mean, I’m an only child so I’ve never had a sibling. Sure there’s been times where you can be annoying. (Twilight starts taking notes) There was that time where thanks to you Octavia wanted to kill me...I mean she still does but…(Laughter) Plus there was that time you turned me into a pony. 
Twilight: S...sorry what was that last part?
Norman: You’re joking right? There’s no way you could possibly forget that?
Twilight: (Nervously) R..Right of course, the time I turned you into a pony...hehe.
Norman: But to be honest, through it all, you were my first friend at this school.  We went through alot together and the fact that you stuck with me through all of it...well, you are probably one of my best friends to be quite honest. (Awww)
(They get to his door. Norman goes to open it. Twilight goes to follow him in.)
Norman: Uh, this is my apartment. Your’s is that one. (Pointing to the door)
Twilight: Um...I kind of lost my key. 
Norman: You really are off today, aren’t you. Oh well, I guess it can’t be helped. I’ll get the spare that you gave to Brad. (The angle changes showing Rarity leaving her apartment. She sees Norman and Twilight as…)
Norman: Why don’t you come in for a bit.
(She enters and Norman closes the door. Neither notice Rarity)
Rarity: That’s odd...Norman rarely lets Twilight in if Brad isn’t around...what could they possibly be up to...No! It couldn’t possibly be a secret tryst behind my back! No! THIS! IS! THE! WORST! POSSIBLE! THING! (She whistles and Sweetie opens the door shoving a couch out for her to faint onto) (Laughter)
Sweetie: Or he’s just being polite and inviting her inside to wait for Brad to arrive...you know, like a polite human being.
Rarity: (Ignoring her) He hasn’t invited me over to his apartment in three days! Could it be our love life is over? (Black smoke starts surrounding her) No! Norman is Mine!
Sweetie: (Realizing what is happening) You know what...I’m just going back inside and waiting for this to blow over. (Laughter)
(Rarity laughs maniacally as we cut to the interior of Norman’s apartment where we see Norman and Twilight)
Norman: (Pointing to couch) Well, you might as well have a seat while I look for the keys in Brad’s room.
(Twilight sits down as Norman walks into Brad’s room)
Twilight: If I can get the keys to the other Twilight’s apartment, then I should be able to do enough field research to figure out what it is that is actually happening here.  Beyond the pony magic, I mean. (Laughter)
(The door of the apartment opens and Twilight turns back only to be covered by a shadow. She opens her mouth to scream. Cut to Norman in Brad’s room. The Camera is looking upwards at him as he rummages around throwing stuff behind him.)
Norman: Let’s see...condoms (Laughter)...Chloroform...more chloroform (Laughter)...a map to the lost site of Zihuatanejo…(Laughter) Damn it, Brad where are those keys. (Twilight Screams) Damn it! Purple! (He runs outside to find Twilight cowering in front of Nightmarity)
Nightmarity: TWILIGHT SPARKLE YOU MISERABLE STROLLOP!
Twilight: I...is that a combination of Trollop and Strumpet? (Laughter)
Nightmarity: SILENCE!
Twilight: Shutting up now. (Laughter)
Nightmarity: YOU DARE COME BETWEEN ME AND MY NORMAN!?
Twilight: Uh...no?
Norman: Rarity! This isn’t like you! You’re overreacting again!
Nightmarity: SILENCE! NORMAN CAN’T YOU SEE SHE HAS YOU UNDER A SPELL
Norman: She just locked herself out of her room! I was getting her a key.
Nightmarity: What? And put your key in her lock?!
Twilight: What?
Nightmarity and Norman: (Unison) We’ll tell you when you’re older. (Laughter)
Nightmarity: (Floating toward Twilight) That is...if you can survive to be older.
(Norman jumps in between them)
Norman: That’s quite enough.
(Rarity floats to Norman and picks him up with a squeaking sound effect) (Laughter)
Nightmarity: No worries love, when I’m done with her, I’ll have you all to myself.
(She prepare to attack when…)
Sunset: Stop right there, Rarity!
(Everyone turns to see a powered up Sunset staring back at them)
Sunset: I can’t let you attack Twilight like that.
Nightmarity: Stay out of this Sunset! If you side with her, I’ll have to destroy you too. If I can’t have my Norman, no one can!
Norman: Is it wrong that I am kind of turned-on by this? (Laughter)
The three girls: Shut up!
Norman: Shutting up now! (Laughter)
Nightmarity: I can’t let Twilight try to go behind my back and steal my Norman!
Sunset: (To Twilight) Is this tru…(Noticing something) Wait!? Crystal Prep Twilight? Is that you?
Nightmarity and Norman: Crystal Prep Twilight/Purple?
Twilight: Um...h..hi.
Sunset: What are you doing here. 
Twilight: Well, I heard that the other Twilight was here and considering we only met once, I figured this would be a chance to observe her and figure out more about this magic that she brings into this world.
Nightmarity: So...you actually were looking for the key to her apartment.
Twilight: Yes! You know what though, I’m done! I’m going back to Crystal College and I’m filling out my transfer paperwork and going to Everton and getting as far away from here as possible! (She simply darts out of the room)
(Sunset, Nightmarity, and Norman stare at this in silence)
Norman: So there’s two purples in this world?
Sunset: Indeed there are.
Norman: Sunset, I need you to kill me...I can’t live in a hellscape where two of them exist. (Laughter)
Nightmarity: I feel horrible. She probably thinks me a common villain. Do you forgive me, Norman.
(Norman kisses her causing her to become Rarity again) 
Norman: Of course I do. (Aww)
(Sunset, back to normal, drops a book in between them forcing them apart)
Sunset: Remember to leave room for the good news of friendship. (Laughter)
Norman: Sunset?
Sunset: Yes?
Norman: Get out of my apartment.
(All three start laughing)
Norman: (Stopping) No, seriously, get out. 
(Laughter to end scene)

(After credits: Interior of Norman’s apartment. He is watching TV when the rift appears and Brad walks out waving back at it)
Norman: Where the hell were you?
Brad: I got abducted by a tentacle creature from another dimension.
Norman: What was that like?
Brad: Pretty cool actually. We’re meeting for lunch Saturday. Turns out we have some hobbies in common. (Laughter) So what about you.
Norman: I learned we live in a world where there are two Twilights.
Brad: Bro! Two Twilights! Dude, that threesome would be Bradical! (Laughter)
(Norman cringes to the floor to audience laughter and applause to finish the episode)
