It was a rainy night when Tara Strong, a unicorn, had finished a text she had wrote for a conference-meeting with the My Little Pony Community. As she was about to go to bed, she thought she heard a strange tapping noice at the hall. She went down to look, but nopony seemed to be there when she came.

- "Strange..." Tara thought of herself and went back to her room.

Once she had combed her hair and took off her accessories, she went to sleep with comfort. But, it didn't last long until she suddenly heard the tapping noise again and a scratch sound. Tara put on her robe and went down to the hall again to check, but there's still nopony to be seen.

- "I don't like the feeling of this... Who could it be...?", she asked herself worried.

But all she could see was an open window that might have been blewn up by the rainy wind.

- "That's strange... I usually don't forget to close my window before I go to sleep.", she said puzzled and closed the window with her magic.

With no further clue of what it really was, she finally took off her robe and fell asleep in her bed.

The next morning, the ponies of the Fandub Community were having a section of voice over at the Record Studio in Canterlot. The ponies for the voice over were Mandopony, EileMonty and Vocal Sing. In the mixing room on the other side of the glass window, Vinyl Scratch and Neon Light were doing the mixings and sound testing.

- "Alright, is everypony ready?", Vinyl Scratch asked the group. "As soon as we play Octavia's music, we're ready to start."

- "Ok.", Neon said and begins the countdown. "We'll begin in 3... 2... 1... And begin!"

The music starts and the section could start.

- "And so we're on for another wild adventure in Appeloosa!", Mando begins voiced as a flawless cowboy.

- "It seems we have defeated the bandits of the rocky deserts, but who was the boss sending them out to kill us?", Eile continues voiced as a fancy mare.

- "Hope we'll get gold as a reward for capturing the boss!", Vocal Sing said voiced as a cooperative cowboy cat.

The next act they dub is when the adventurers comes in to a nearby saloon.

- "Excuse me, bartender. But would you tell us some clues of where to find the boss of the bandits, plus a mug of apple cider please!", Vocal Sing begins.

- "... Muffins...?", Mando said, but the text he was reading wasn't the line that he was suppose to say.

- "Ok, cut!", Neon said and stopped the tape. "That's not what you're supposed to say."

- "But it's not me. Something is wrong with the text the author was writing!", Mando said irritated.

Vinyl went in to the studio to see if it was true, and yep... Some of the texts on both Mando's, Eile's and Vocal's lines were all replaced with weird words like "Muffin", "Bubbles" and whatever it was that it said.

- "That's strange... We rescently have spoken to the author and he said that he didn't edit the text to be like this...", Vinyl said.

- "Who could ever do such thing?", Eile said with confoundations.

- "Whatever it is, we need to find out what really happened.", Vocal said.

As Vocal, Mando and Eile walked the halls of the Recording Company they have asked some few ponies for any clues of what might have happened. The result became as followed:

Wild Fire: "I was going to have a coffee break from drawing a storyboard and when I came back the texts on it was covered with the words "Muffin" and "I just don't know what went wrong"!"

Octavia: "I woke up this morning to see that the lyrics I wrote had it's words replaced with "Cupcake" and crumbs on the floor!"

Flamingo Rich: "My project has almost been ruined because somepony has replaced the lines with the word "Muffin"!"

As they continued with their inspections, they finally met an upset Tara Strong.

- "What happened", Mando asked Tara.

- "I woke up this morning, came to the meeting, but all I read was something else than what I wrote yesterday! The texts has been replaced, the words is a scramble and it's so unreadable that I had no other choice than just trying to memorize what I just wrote... But with no effort at all... And now I'm a laughing stock for the whole community!", Tara said desperately that she was about to cry.

- "There there...", Eile said with a conforting voice.

- "Did you notice anything strange that might have something to do with it?", Vocal asked.

- "Well, last night I heard a tapping noise and a scratch like somepony was writing something on a paper.", Tara said. "And then when I closed my window I saw some small crumbs on the floor.", she continued.

As Tara went back to the conference room Mando, Eile and Vocal were talking to each other.

- "Who in Equestria would do such a thing like replacing some words with something else?", Eile asked.

- "The words "Muffin" and "I just don't know what went wrong" sounds a bit too familliar", Mando said.

- "Indeed it does!", Vocal said with determission. "It's more like somepony so derpy can only think of muffins!"

- "You don't mean it was Derpy? She wouldn't have to do that?" Mando asked Vocal.

- "Maybe not, but when it comes to muffins then there's no doubt that it's definitely would be Derpy.", Vocal said.

Derpy was finished with delivering letters when Vocal, Mando and Eile showed up.

- "Ok Derpy, explain yourself!", Vocal said raising his tone.

- "Explain what? Explaining how I and Dr. Whooves met?? Well, I uhm...", Derpy said with a rather nervous voice.

- "You know what we're talking about! Why did you change  the texts of our papers to some of your own words!", Mando asked.

- "What!? I haven't changed any texts at all!", Derpy said with a worried look.

Dr. Whooves happened to come by when he saw what's going on.

- "Uhm, excuse me but why are you yelling at miss Hooves?", Whooves asked.

- "She has changed the texts on our papers and storyboards to her own words!", Eile said with a mad look.

- "What!? NO! Miss Hooves would never do such a thing! Somepony has changed the texts on my research report to "muffins" and "Partycannon"!", Whooves said with a desperate voice.

- "Yours too?", Mando said. "Are you sure it wasn't Derpy who did this? You're so close to each other."

- "No... It wasn't Derpy who did this. I saw a shadow  that has a shape of something fluffy. But when I came to see who it was, it wasn't there. It wasn't until I read the reports that I realised something was wrong with the texts.", Whooves said with a sad look.

- "Please... Don't hurt me...!", Derpy said almost about to cry.

- "Ok, now this is much more stranger", Eile said.

- "Hmm... I happen to have a better idea.", Mando said.

- "Like what?", Vocal said.

When Mando, Vocal and Eile knocked on the door to Tara's residence no one opened. The only thing they could hear was some sobering noises.

- "Who's there? Can't I have some time for myself in sorrow?", the voice said really sad.

- "Tara, it's just us. We need to talk.", Eile said.

As they entered the hall Tara was laying on the couch in tears.

- "Sorry for my rude behavior, but it has been a frustrating day since what happened.", Tara explained.

- "I know you're upset of today's event, but we need your help to catch the one who did it", Vocal said.

- "Oh... Did you find out who did it?", Tara asked.

- "No, but we have an idea and we need your help.", Mando said. "Do you have a written lyric or a paper that you don't have use of?".

- "Why do you ask me that? What are you going to do with it?", Tara asked with confusion.

- "That you will see.", Eile said.

That night Mando, Vocal, Eile and Tara has placed out a small table in middle of the hall and laid the paper on it along with a cupcake. They've turned off the lights in Tara's house and waited behind the door to Tara's room, spying through the key hole.

- "Can you see anything Vocal?", Tara said quietly.

- "No, but we need to be very quiet if we don't want to wake attention", Vocal assured Tara.

- "Mando, you're standing on my hoof!", Eile said to Mando quietly.

- "Ok, sorry!", Mando said with a lowered voice.

- "Shh...! Here it comes", Tara warned the both quietly.

It's precisely what Tara just explained. They could hear tapping noises that reaches to the small table and then comes the scratch noise like a pen is drawing on a paper. And the shadow had a curly form. But what's weird is that a small, squeaky voice said "Oh, a cupcake...!". As the shadow was about to leave, the lights were turned on and the four shouted out: "GOTCHA!".
But, to their surprise it wasn't Derpy after all. Instead, it was Pinkie Pie.

- "I can't believe the Doctor was right about the shadow!", Eile said.

- "Pinkie, what have you done to my paper!?", Tara said upset of what she read on the paper that was on the small table.

Then suddenly Pinkie sank down and her hair and tail turned flat.

- "Everypony thinks I'm not funny anymore... It began yesterday when I wanted to bring joy, but nopony seemed to care what I do. All they did was just rushing to their businesses, even my best friends.", Pinkie said with a sad tone.

- "But, why did you change the texts?", Vocal asked.

- "Because I knew that ponies would laugh at bloopers. Everypony love bloopers when something goes wrong at some point by changing the texts on the scripts. But I guess you don't think it's funny, so no pony will think it's funny either.", Pinkie said and began to sigh.

After hearing Pinkie's story, Tara approached her.

- "Go on and punish me. I did what I could and failed...", Pinkie said with doubts.

- "You know... I think I have a better idea for you.", Tara said.

The next day, the ponies of the Fandub Community re-shooted the voice over to it's rightful tempo. Once the re-shoot was finally over Mando, Eile and Vocal went to the dining room.
Dan and Twilight Sparkle were already sitting at the table eating lunch having a good time laughing.

- "Hey guys! What are you laughing at?", Mando asked with curiousity.

- "Me and Dan are laughing at todays comedy episode on this small TV.", Twilight said with a smile.

When they took a look at the TV, the screen showed an episode where Pinkie Pie were doing some funny impressions and skits. Then Tara came in to the dining room.

- " Did you really ask Pinkie Pie if she would be in that show", Eile asked Tara.

- "That's what I did", Tara answered with a smile on her face. "I read the studio magazine and saw that the show was looking for a comedian which was perfect for Pinkie Pie to be featured in. She suddenly turned from sadness to happiness!"

- "But, that's great!", Mando said with a smile.

- "I'm glad that it ends well!", Vocal said.

In the middle of the program, Derpy Hooves came in to the dining room and asked:

- "Muffins anyone?"

Everything went quiet except the TV and everypony was having a pokerface.

- "Uhm... Thanks...", Dan said.

That seemed fun. I like stories or movies that are joking about behind the set of filming or recording sessions. Much like in Alien Autopsy or watching outtakes.
Your story did seem confusing at first, due to Tara Strong having the same name as Twilight's voice actress. Also the transitions from scene and situation was pretty abrupt, if I am honest.

If this is your first fanfic, you did really well!
