Megan McCarthy wakes up one night in a cold sweat. She takes deep gulping breaths as she collects herself, then:
"Got it!"
The next morning at Hasbro Studios, as the staff are working assiduously toward season four of My Little Pony, they are surprised when a disheveled-looking McCarthy throws open the doors. "Okay, stop the presses!" she yells.
Director Jayson Thiessen proffers acknowledgment. "Um… What is it?"
"Dude, I just had the craziest dream last night," says Megan McCarthy. "It was in a cafeteria or something. Dude…" She holds up a stack of scratched-out paper, an obvious repository for ideas and drawings from the last night's sleep. "This whole dance sequence with Twilight and her friends just came to me. They're human teenagers, and they've got these cool shoes, and… Oh, man. This is going to be fucking sick."
"Wait– human teenagers?"
"It'll make sense once I explain it," she says, reassuringly. "Can we talk about this in the conference room?"
Later, in the conference room…
"Okay, so they do this marching thing when they come in," says McCarthy, getting up onto the table to demonstrate–her untied bathrobe flails in the faces of her colleagues as she stomps away. "Oh, oh–but first, they start a beat with their lunch trays, and there's like an ipod too which starts playing at some point with the beat."
"Wait, wait, can we back up for a second?" says Jayson Thiessen. "So… they're in a cafeteria. Is it like… a mall cafeteria? Are there other people there? I'm confused."
"Oh yeah, like a bunch of other characters are watching," McCarthy explains. "Photo Finish, uh… Trixie, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Imagine like they all went to high school together."
"…Okay."
"So then… We get this shot of the five of them, right? They all do this thing where they crouch down," she says, again demonstrating the maneuver, "but they have their right foot out like some yoga shit. Then, up– and spin!" Megan McCarthy's socks are luckily the perfect footwear to facilitate the trick. "Do you remember the intro for Goof Troop?"
"Oh, uh… no," replies Jayson Thiessen, prodded out of a stupefied haze by the question.
"Google it. Then there's this other thing… I have lots of ideas for this! Hooh, it's getting hot in here," she says, tossing off her bathrobe. "Sarah, hold up your phone for a sec."
"I think your phone is actually better than mine," Sarah Wall replies.
"Oh no. It's just this thing I was thinking of. Like… one of the students is filming the dance on their phone, and one of the girls like looks all sassy into it."
"Oh. I think I get the idea."
"Just hold up the phone, Sarah," Megan McCarthy cries in vexation, "why do you have to make this so hard?"
Sarah Wall puts her phone on 'record' and holds it up.
"Okay, so… Can you see me okay?"
She nods.
"Okay." Megan McCarthy turns away and stands still, then springs forward, making a sassy face at the phone.
"Oh, I see," says Sarah Wall.
"I guess I don't see what the context for all this is," rejoins Jayson Thiessen. "What are they singing about?"
Megan McCarthy shrugs. "Friendship? I don't know. Not my problem."
"Well– I mean, why are they humans? Why do they all go the same school?"
Megan McCarthy ponders this for a moment. "Eh… we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Oh, and there's also a band in the cafeteria."
