When I Grow Too Old To Dream Songfic

WHEN I GROW TOO OLD TO DREAM SONGFIC

Our songfic opens up in Ponyville Town Hall, where the wedding of Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda is underway, and Mayor Mare is just finishing her speech.

MAYOR MARE: And so, in front of all these loved ones, Cranky, do you take this donkey to be your lawfully wedded wife?

CRANKY: You bet I do!

MAYOR MARE: And do you, Matilda, take this donkey to be your lawfully wedded husband?

MATILDA: (tearing up) I do! (sniff) And you know what?

EVERYONE ELSE: (in unison) What?

MATILDA: (singing)
We have been gay
Going our way
Life has been beautiful
We have been young

After you've gone
Life will go on
Like an old song we have sung

A piano starts playing "When I Grow Too Old To Dream" in the same style as on "The Muppet Show".

MATILDA: (singing)
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart!

Cranky clears his throat and begins to sing as well.

CRANKY: (singing in a gravelly Louis Armstrong type voice)
So kiss me, my sweet!

CRANKY AND MATILDA: (singing)
And so let us part!

Now everybody joins in the song.

ALL: (singing)
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart!

Outside the building, the Mane 6 are watching the whole thing through the window. They shed tears of happiness as they sing along.

TWILIGHT, APPLEJACK, RAINBOW DASH, RARITY, PINKIE PIE, AND FLUTTERSHY: (singing)
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart!

Back inside the building, because the song is very heavily sentimentalized, Spike is crying so hard that he can't even sing along.

ALL: (singing)
Yes, when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart!

MATILDA: (singing)
Oh, your love will live in my heart!

EVERYBODY ELSE: (singing)
Oooooooooo!

Everybody applauds, including the Mane 6, as they all finish singing.

MAYOR MARE: (spoken; wiping away her tears) Then I'm proud to say, I now pronounce you jack and jenny!

As the now married donkeys kiss on the lips, everyone bursts into cheers. Then, all of a sudden, the flameless fireworks go off, much to everyone's amazement.

DOCTOR WHOOVES: (spoken; laughing excitedly) OF COURSE! THEY NEED LOVE TO IGNITE! HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED IT?!

Cranky and Matilda smile warmly as they watch the fireworks. Outside, the Mane 6 are still watching it all through the window and are also bedazzled by the fireworks.

TWILIGHT: (spoken; walking away from the window) You know something, girls? We are so lucky to live in this town!

The Mane 6 all smile warmly as they gather together.

TWILIGHT: I love you all! (singing)
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart!

TWILIGHT, APPLEJACK, RAINBOW DASH, RARITY, PINKIE PIE, AND FLUTTERSHY: (singing)
Yes, when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart!

TWILIGHT: (singing)
Oh, your love will live in my heart!

APPLEJACK, RAINBOW DASH, RARITY, PINKIE PIE, AND FLUTTERSHY: (singing)
Oooooooooo!

The Mane 6 all come together for a warm group hug, which hurts Rainbow Dash.

RAINBOW DASH: (spoken) Ow! That's where the bugbear got me!

TWILIGHT: (spoken) Sorry!

The Mane 6 all share a warm laugh as the songfic draws to a close.

THE END!
