MYMC05E2: Family Trees, Pt. 1 Reaction Script (A): Misty tells her friends about her dreams

Background Pony #B603
Misty: What was that about? It felt so real. Like it’s happened before.
Fire-horn Henchmare: You’ve been raiding my stash lately, Berry Mane?? Or had you taken a few too many wild shrooms’ during your absence??
UUGGHH, no matter! Get dressed and head down to the throne room for our morning meeting! Don’t MAKE me fetch the crop!

Butler: Excellent news, dear Princess! Your audience numbers viewemembership has skyrocked by 405% in the past three months since the debut of your first Bridlewood festival, in spite our setbacks by ghostly anomalies!
I’ve already made plans for NEXT year’s festival, and I think this time, we should invite The Manestreet Boys in the Stable-Hood to rack up the young mare attendance numbers!

Hitch Trailblazer: Opaline’s here?!
Misty: No, I’m trying to tell you that—
Professor: EVERYPONY!! ACTIVATE THE P.O.N.I.E.S!!!
The Prisbeam Opaline Neutralization Imminent Eradiaction Systems!!!!
The flying eggplant is back!!
(PUNCHES RANDOM BUTTON ON THE WALL)

(Entire Brighthouse goes on lock-down and reveals hidden AA railgun turrets)
Rebel Activist: Professor—–WHAT—in–the—BUCK???!!!!!
Deputy Mare: HEY, who said you could activate the lock-down without MY permission?
Rebel Activist:: WAIT, YOU’RE into this over-reacting scheme as well??
Inspector Mare: Can’t be TOO careful these days!! Now that Opaline knows our faces, we all decided it would be best to turn this Brighthouse into a fortress, with the help of my engineering expertise and Zipp’s technical computer programmin’ know-how!
Butler: I must say, that is a tad bit of an overkill, is it not?? We COULD just move someplace elsewhere and take the lantern with us…
Background Pony #B603
Zipp Storm: Look alive, ponies! And don’t panic!
Inspector Mare: Got yer riot cannon on, Deputy??
Pipp Petals: Okay! We’re under attack! But don’t be—
[singing] afraaaaaaid!
[beat]
Professor: PIPP!! STOP SINGING! Don’t allow this emergency defense protocol be turned into a stupid MUSICAL!!!
medium
(Pops out defense turret)
Pipp Petals: What? You said not to panic! Singing keeps me calm, okay?!
Professor: (Gets behind the turret) Well, SING somewhere else, or at least listen to music from your Fly-pod!! I don’t need you breaking my concentration!

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind seeing the Mane Street Boys through next Bridlewoodstock tour, if only those Troggles didn’t come crashing the whole festival party just to have everypony inaudible, of course.
Butler: Not to worry…I had procured a special set of wireless headphones that allow us to broadcast music directly from electronic instruments and music sound systems! That way, we can both keep listening to music AND keep the noise levels in the forests to a minimum!
Background Pony #B603
Misty: should clarify. I don’t think we’re in danger right now
medium
Professor: (Deactivates P.O.N.I.E.S)
Deputy Mare: THEN why the hay did you barge in like somepony’s out to throw you in a sack??
Misty: But we absolutely could be soon.
Hitch Trailblazer: What?!
Izzy Moonbow: No!
Pipp Petals: What do you mean?!
Inspector Mare: HUH???!! How soon are we talking about??
Deputy Mare: What’s Opaline planning now?? Did you at least grab some intelligence along the way??
Background Pony #B603
Zipp Storm: From the top. What’s going on?
[phone beeps]
Misty: I had this scary dream, but it felt real. There was this tall creature.
Sunny Starscout: Do you usually have scary dreams?
Misty: I’ve been having a lot of them, actually. I’m exhausted!
Professor: Hmmm…no surprise there. A decade of abuse from your self-proclaimed alicorn messiah can really boggle your mind like that permanently, no doubt…
Inspector Mare: Awww, it’s probably just a bad fever dream. Perhaps the ol’ Butler can fix you up with some nicely brewed tea, and offer you some packets to take home…
Deputy Mare: If Opaline asks, tell her you rob a teahouse along the way…
Professor: We call her flying eggplant now…
Deputy Mare: I am NOT using that as our fugitive code name, Professor! That’s not for you to decide!
Background Pony #B603
Pipp Petals: Ooh! I love dream analysis! Like, did you know that everypony in your dreams is actually you?
Butler: Oh, dear! Here it comes again! She’s been intrigued with dream interpretations ever since that sketchy therapist gave her that book called “Interpretations of Luna’s Somnaverse
Izzy Moonbow: Oooh! So I’m actually a tap-dancing tube of paint and the queen of the hermit crabs?!
Pipp Petals: Yes.
Professor: Are you girls high right now?! How many times I told you to not hog in all the stash?!
Deputy Mare: I wish the mayor NEVER legalized that hocus pocus plant from Bridlewood…
Background Pony #B603
Zipp Storm: … maybe it wasn’t a dream at all. Maybe it was a vision!
Sunny Starscout: Of the future?
Zipp Storm: Exactly.
Deputy Mare: NOW we’re taking evidence from mental visions now, Detective?? That is so unconventional…and stupid…
Inspector Mare: You may be right, Deputy…..but it’s our only lead…
Background Pony #B603
Zipp Storm: You told us Opaline won’t stop ‘til she has all the power of Equestria, right? And she’s kinda tall. So the dream creature must be her!
Misty: I don’t know. I couldn’t really see the creature. It was just a big shadow.
Zipp Storm: Hmmm… So it could be a new threat. Okay, describe it to me. Don’t leave out any details. They could be crucial.
Deputy Mare: I can’t believe this! This is supposed to be an investigation, not a therapy session! Unless you got papers or a piece of a magical artifact for the evidence locker, I cannot rely on pure hearsay or wild visions as proof of Opaline’s conspiring plans to take over the world!
Background Pony #B603
Misty: Uh, I-I can’t really remember now. I just knew something very bad was about to happen.
Zipp Storm: Focus, Misty. If we don’t decode your vision, we could be missing a vital clue to Opaline’s next move.
Deputy Mare: Opaline’s next move is NOT located inside Misty’s subconsciousness unless she literally perused and took note of every one of Opaline’s blueprint schemes in her mental memory banks!
Rebel Activist: SHHHH, don’t interrupt her flow!
Background Pony #B603
Misty Brightdawn: I can’t stop until I figure out how to beat Opaline! I don’t know what I’d do if anything else happened to you ponies. Or Sparky.
Rebel Activist: We’d already discussed this back at the garden, and—as long as the Sheriff, Deputy and Inspector are ready to rescue her at a moment’s notice….I think it would be best for her to continue on with her secret spy mission…
Background Pony #B603
Misty: [deep breath]
There was this big beautiful tree.
Kind of like the one you planted for me in Zephyr Heights. But this one was…
…in a forest, and it had a door.
Izzy Moonbow: Hmmm… [gasps] That sounds just like the Wishing Tree in Bridlewood! Other than the door part. Could that be the one?
Misty: I… I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been to Bridlewood. I was just pretending to know about it during our unicorn sleepover.
Izzy Moonbow: [deep gasp]
Misty: I’m so sorry, Izzy! I just—!
Izzy Moonbow: A unicorn who’s never been to Bridlewood?!
Foster Twins: THAT’S UN-POSSIBLE!!
Inspector Mare: Sister…are you ponderin’ what I’m ponderin’?
Deputy Mare: Something tells me this dreamy “vision” is not a foresight into the future…
……Misty may not had brought back any evidence of Opaline’s schemes……but she HAS opened the case about her blurried past…
You said you were kidnapped as a filly by our suspect, correct? Perhaps this dream, and many others preceding it, isn’t a vision of the future….but a vision from your traumatic fillyhood past…like, a long forgotten memory
Background Pony #B603
Izzy Moonbow: What are we waiting for?! We have to take you there! Now! Now!
Deputy Mare: Can’t believe I’m saying this—but Miss Moonbow is right! C’mon, ladies! We got a decades-old missing pony case to solve!!
Inspector Mare: OOOHH, I LOVE a good ol’ vintage mystery!
Rebel Activist: HEY, slow down, Miss Moonbow! I haven’t even started packing!
Background Pony #B603
Izzy Moonbow: Well, the Bridlewood forest is known to have many healing properties, especially the Wishing Tree.
Filly Twin: And if that doesn’t work, we could always try the local special coco-loco tea brew!!
Deputy Mare: Seriously, how many narcotic plants does this forest town have??!!
Colt Twin: HUH, WHAT??? It’s just chocolate flavoured tea mixed with hot pepper…
Deputy Mare: Oh….
