User blog:Gumball2/Let’s Watch Princess Pony (Episode 0): Intro

(Lincoln’s room. The camera is tightly zoomed in on Lucy, who’s on her big brother’s bed, grimly as usual. The camera shakes around while she waits patiently. Eventually, it stops.)

Lincoln: (off-screen) Alright. We are rolling!

Lucy: Hello, my name is Lucy Loud. It may not look like it, but Princess Pony has changed my mortal life. Its characters, story, setting, and message have helped me learn to forget that the world is a sad, hopeless place...sometimes. In this series, I’m gonna be re-watching every episode starting from Season 1. But I won’t be doing it alone.

(Camera zooms out to reveal Leni sitting next to her. She is smiling as wide as she can.

Lucy: Joining me will be my big sister Leni (turns to her). Would you like to tell the Internet about yourself?

Leni: Yup! (waves emphatically) Hi Lucy! Hi Linky! Hi camera! I’m Leni and I love Princess Pony! I’ve been a fan ever since the show started and Rosy Cake is my favorite and, like, my favorite episode is-

Lucy: Slow down.

Leni: (stops) Okay.

Linky: (off-screen) Should we bring up...y’know, our other sisters?

(Lucy’s head droops)

Lucy: Sigh. We have eight other sisters who have no idea that the two of us watch this show. They think it’s way too girly and that it’s too childish for even Lily to enjoy.

Leni: They’re totes wrong!

Lucy: Lincoln, could you join us in front of the camera?

Lincoln: (off-screen) Are you sure? I don’t wanna take your spotlight.

Leni: Come on, Linky! You’re gonna be on the show too. Everyone should get to see how cute you are.

Lincoln: (off-screen; flustered) Uh....o-okay.

(Lincoln awkwardly walks into the camera’s sight. Leni scoothes to the right, giving her brother a comfy spot in the middle of the sibling sandwich. Left with no choice, Lincoln takes his seat.)

Lucy: This is our brother Lincoln. A while back, our sisters almost found out about my love for the show. But being the great big brother that he is, he took the fall for me even though he’s never seen a single episode.

Leni: It was horrible! Lori and all the others started teasing for liking Princess Pony, But I didn’t. I was totes excited and I showed him the first episode. And...

(Both sisters turn into Lincoln. Even Lucy couldn’t resist grinning in anticipation. A little embarrassed by the attention, he did his best to speak clearly.)

Lincoln: I didn’t think it was that bad. It wasn’t nearly as girly as I thought it would be and it left me wanting to see more.

Lucy: That’s what we’re here for. Lincoln, you moved mountains to save me from humiliation I wasn’t prepared to face. It made me think about how I could be more open about my love for Princess Pony. And then when I found out Leni was also a fan, it made me more confident. I’m still nervous, but hopefully we can all get into this together. And then, even if our sisters tease us, we can all stand up together and accept ourselves with pride.

Leni: (throws arms up) Yay!

Lincoln: (nervously) I can’t believe we’re doing this...
