PonyTales: Filli-Second and the Rumor Weed

it begins outside of a movie theater; Button Mash and Featherweight just got out of seeing “The Peckening”
 
Featherweight: “That was a lousy movie!”
 
Button Mash: “You’re telling me! That monster looked like a chicken in a wig!”
 
unknown to them, a figure lurks
 
“Hey, do you remember what happened the last time we were here?”
 
“Yeah.”
 
both colts look up to see the moon

Diamond Dog: Hey kid, could you spare a bit?

@ianpony98  
Button Mash: “W-We’re not supposed to talk to strangers. And no, we don’t have any extra money.”
 
Diamond Dog: “Oh really? Well, how about a bid and 28 cents!”
 
“What! How did you know I had that!?”
 
“I’ve been watching ya, kids! Every Monday morning, your mom gives you a bid and 28 cents! And I want it!”
 
“B-But that’s my… milk money!”

Diamond Dog: laughs See ya later boys. I hope you like water with your lunches. laughs as he walks away Huh?

@ianpony98  
a dark and mysterious character comes to confront the Diamond Dog and the dark character is Filli-Second
 
Filli-Second: “I believe you have something that belongs to those colts!”
 
Diamond Dog: “Uh, I uh, I uh. W-who are you?”
 
“I’m Filli-Second.”

Fili-Second grabs the Diamond Dog
 
Diamond Dog: What are you gonna do?

@ianpony98  
Filli-Second: “It’s not nice to take ponies milk money!”
 
turns him over and over the edge
 
Diamond Dog: “Hey! Take it easy, fella! Don’t get crazy! shakes him Hey! Whoa! Ooh! Aah! Ooh! money falls out I ain’t feelin’ so good. Hey! Hey! Hey! Where we going?! You can’t do this! I’ve got rights! Hey! Hey!”

@ianpony98  
Diamond Dog crashes through the police cart
 
Flash: “Ahhh! Sombra’s back!”
 
Diamond Dog: “Heheh…”
 
Flash: “Oh, it’s the Diamond Dog! We’ve been looking for you for months! looks up Thanks, Filli-Second!” sees nothing

@Jack-Rabbit2SB  
Mildred/Starlight: “Well done, Mistress Filli! Splendid job!”
 
Filli-Second: “Why, thank you, Mildred. It was pretty good, wasn’t it?”
 
“Maretropolis should be proud. Next time, though, try to remember; to release the criminal from your super-speedy suit, turn your head left, and snap your neck down.”

Fili-Second: Ah, yes. That’s why I couldn’t get rid of him. But besides that, I was super. accidentally knocks a plant off the roof Oops.
 
Mildred: What? What happened?
 
Fili-Second: Uh, nothing.

@ianpony98  
The woman in the window speaks on the phone. As she does, the power lines hit the plant and turn it into a weed. It falls off the power line
 
Woman In The Window: “Did you hear something?”
 
As she speaks, the weed falls into the sewers where the light flashes above.

Filli-Second: “Hey, what do you say we get some pizza? You know, to celebrate.”
 
Mildred: “Oh I’d love to Mistress Filli, but it’s getting late, and I’m volunteering at the Pony Prairie Grade School tomorrow morning.”
 
“Oh alright. Goodnight Mildred.”
 
“Good night Mistress Filli.”
 
Filli-Second looks over the city
 
“If any more space aliens want to fall into Maretropolis, I’m ready for you too.”
 
We fade into the sewers where the plant comes to life. The title card for “Filli-Second and the Rumor Weed” comes up. The Filli-Second theme song plays

Mildred: So I repaired the chaffing dish, then sent the chef out to get another jar of pickled herring. And the dinner party was saved.

@ianpony98  
kids just stare
 
Dash: “Well thank you Miss Mildred. Wasn’t that a great story kids? Well, we still have more to do today. Miss Mildred, would you like to stay and watch?”
 
Mildred: “Oh, that sounds like fun, but I’m a bit winded from my story-telling, so I think I’d better go home, and recharge my batteries.”

@ianpony98  
Dash: “Well, okay. Let’s all thank Miss Mildred for coming today.”
 
Class: “Thank you, Miss Mildred.”
 
“Remember, tomorrow, we’re going to learn about rumors, little stories that can hurt.”

@ianpony98  
Scootaloo: “Did you hear what Miss Mildred said?”
 
Sweetie Belle: “Yeah, she said she had to go home and recharge her batteries. Why would she say that?”
 
“I don’t know. I’ve got a toy with rechargeable batteries. It’s my robot.”
 
“Do you think Miss Mildred is a…?”
 
“I don’t know.”
 
“She talks kinda funny.”
 
“And she’s kinda stiff, kinda like my… gasps robot!”

Sweetie Belle: Should we tell anybody?

@ianpony98  
Scootaloo: “No, we better keep it to ourselves.”
 
Rumor Weed: “Keep what to yourselves?”
 
Sweetie: “Who said that?”
 
“Hey, over here! The weed! Keep what to yourselves?”
 
“You’re a talking weed!”
 
“I’m a talking weed, you’re a talking pony. Your point was? So, go on. Tell me what it is you’re keeping to yourselves.”

Scootaloo: Well it’s about Miss Mildred but we can’t tell you anymore.

@ianpony98  
Weed: “Listen, sprout! Did you caretakers ever teach you to share?”
 
Scootaloo: “Well, yes, but-”
 
“Then share with me, I’m a good friend of Winfred’s.”
 
Sweetie: “Mildred.”
 
“Mildred. I ask, because I care.”

Scootaloo: We learned something about Miss Mildred today.
 
Rumor Weed: Yeah? What is it?

@ianpony98  
Scootaloo: “We think Miss Mildred…”
 
Rumor Weed: “Yeah?”
 
“Is a robot!”
 
“No! She looks so natural! She’s a good robot.”
