Random Tales episodes I made up (season 2)

[acehoneycomb]

A while back, I created a second season of Tales for the original 26 episodes to carry on into. Here they are:
Summer Daze: Summer has begun, and Patch wants to go to a volcanic island so she can have some adventure, despite her family and friends' objections.
A Close Call: Melody is put in detention for not finishing her homework, and her friends try to get her out.
Homework Helper: Bright Eyes suddenly gains popularity by doing everyone's homework against her will.
The Return of Squire: A ghost is haunting Lancer's mansion, and so Patch and the others try to hunt it down, discovering some incredible secrets along the way.
The Blackout: A blackout sweeps the town, and the others try to make the best out of it.
Race To the Finish: Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch and Bon Bon enter a biking competition, but Ace enters as well as part of his plan to show he is an all-round winning athlete.
PST Problems: The PST (Pony Standardized Tests) are coming up, but Teddy steals all the papers. Sweetheart and the others try to find out what Teddy's problem is.
Dream On: Starlight tries to act like Melody to impress Ace.
Bon Bon's Cooking Class: Bon Bon sets up a cooking class for her friends, but it doesn't turn out so well.
Ballet Blowout: The Royal Lippizanner Ballet Company comes to town and Meadowlark invites Clover and her friends to travel with the company for a week and participate in the upcoming Swan Lake show in Hoofton. Clover is nervous about the show and her big sister's talent upstaging her.
Melody the Rockstar: Melody wins a contest that will finally let her meet her idol Chain Link, with whom she is eager to perform with. Chain Link shows Melody what being a real rockstar is like and she realizes that she needs some practice before immediately becoming one.
A Log Roll: Bright Eyes, Lancer, and the other girls try to stop a logging project in the Old Woods that could cause harm to the green-winged songbird population.
Rockin; Beats Beaten: The second Battle of the Bands is on, and Melody is determined to win. She loses the contest to another band, and becomes depressed.
Sibling Time: Meadowlark decides to take a week off the ballet company to spend time with her sister Clover, but Clover believes she will be ignored by everyone in the presence of her big sister.
Teacher's Pet: After Starlight wins the Best Student award at school, she becomes prideful and mistreats her friends. Her friends then accuse her of being a teacher's pet out of annoyance, and Starlight realizes her actions.
The Royal Visitor: Princess Rosy is coming to Ms. Hackney's class for a day, and Bon Bon, who is tasked with baking the cake at Rosy's arrival party, overworks herself.
Bowled Over: The girls have a bowling competition with Teddy and Ace.
Break a Leg: Clover breaks her leg before the upcoming ballet show and feels like she has failed her dance school.
Olympic Champion Ace: After Ace is giving the chance to participate in the Junior Olympics, Patch and Starlight (being on Ace's soccer team) try to upstage him during a soccer match to teach him a lesson, but Starlight doesn't have the heart to stop Ace.
Understanding of the Grail: Melody commits herself into pursuing a vintage signed Cleveland Bays microphone on a PTV auction, and starts to fail tests.
Tutor Troubles: The girls and Ace set out to see why Lancer doesn't attend school.
With Grace and Charm: Clover is tired of being clumsy, and so her friends use different styles to try to teach her how to dance. In the end, she fails all the styles, but Meadowlark arrives and shows Clover that developing a personal style is an important part of being a dancer and that you have to find your own way to do it.
Lost in the Snow: Sweetheart gets lost in the snow-covered forest during a snowball fight.
Search for the Yeti: Patch, Sweetheart, Bright Eyes, Bon Bon, Ace and Lancer set out into the Lost Mountains to find the mythical yeti.
The World's Largest Pie: Bon Bon attempts to create the world's largest pie, but fails to do it alone.
Patch's Mystery: A criminal has stolen a Ponyland Civil War helmet, and Patch decides to find it with the help of her appointed assistant Bon Bon.
So, that's my seconds season. Let the discussion begin!

[Notes]

Not bad, not bad! I like the bit of Clover/Patch/Bon Bon emphasis this season. Those three are pretty awesome. My favorite premises are probably Search for the Yeti, Patch's Mystery (how'd you know I was thinking of writing a Patch/Bon Bon detective duo?!) Olympic Champion Ace and Melody the Rockstar.

The idea of Sweetheart getting lost in the snow, while hilarious, probably wouldn't make the best episode on its own. Perhaps with her meeting a new friend, whether a pony of some sort of animal. Summer Daze has potential, too; Patch and volcanoes just mix so well.

Sibling Time sounds just a bit too general though. It pretty much comes right out and says, 'hey, this is Clover's arc.' But otherwise, nice!

I like the Pie episode, for obvious reasons. ;D Also, needs an episode dedicated to the wonders of Virtual Reality, because it's the 90s.

I KNEW you would say that, sir Bob who dudes...

I am a man of very predictable and obvious tastes;D

Man, I came back here to reread these and love them even more than before! Bike to the Finish, Bon Bon's Cooking Class, Return of Squire, and Search for the Yeti in particular have to exist. Just AMAZING.

I mean, Ace wanting to prove how amazing he is is pretty in character for him, especially if the others are just racing for the heck of it. Bon Bon's Baking Class has so much humor potential! There was an episode of another show I like that followed the same premise (Sgt Frog: the ninja frog who is forgotten about a lot tries to teach the platoon how to be ninjas so they can conquer Earth by giving ninja-lessons), and it was HILARIOUS. I could just imagine Bon Bon running around trying to get everyone to cook properly, and they just can't. I can't get the picture of Bon Bon going Chef Ramsey on her friends out of my mind.

Incredible secrets... that intrigues me. I love world-building, and it could really be interesting. Squire appearing again is a brilliant idea, of course.

"Birds of a Feather" was similar to Yeti, and happened to be awesome and hilarious. Of course, a lot of the latter was Bon Bon and everything going wrong. And some of the former is the OTP fuel in it. But still! It's a great thought.

"With Grace and Charm" just sounds adorable. All of Clo's friends trying to teach her how to dance is just something that they'd do. It'd show everyone's personalities as well, and I love it when that happens! Meadowlark will also be awesome in that one. It'd also be just like her.

Rosy coming back to Ponyland is an idea as new as anything, but it's a great one. Poor Bon Bon overworking herself in that and the Pie episode makes sense.

Olympic Champion Ace has so much potential for all three ponies involved. Ace being able to participate in such an event, Patch's desire to teach him a lesson, and Starlight's reluctance to do so makes for a fine slurry.

Some of them I still can't really picture, but these are awesome! They have to exist, even if I have to write them.
