[CC] or at least he said Snips had a pretty good idea about it which kinda makes ME skittish about it, but i reckon i trust Pip's judgement enough [CC] we group up in three groups of four for the whole client-server thingawhatsit [RS] oh snap cutie mark crusader sbarn team!!!

I mean that's what the abbreviation in the book is. [CC] maybe? [RS] nah what if she like gets pinged about us talking about her behind her back [RS] then she'll probably start blabbing and figuring that gives her the right to actually start plotting behind OUR backs!!!

That leaves him with Diamond and Silver! [TY] spikes a dragon yeah [TY] from what i hears from you girls he seems like a tough customer [TY] if anyone can handle a schemin little so and so its gonna be a dragon You idle away from the conversation for a bit, staring out your bedroom window. It was a nice day- honestly, if you weren't so PUMPED to be playing this game with your friends, you'd probably be practicing that sick new scooter move you've been cooking up. Cooking up like a batch of hot hay-fries in the deep frier of the local Hey! Burger. You're kinda hungry, you realize. ==> Scootaloo: To the kitchen! Delicious snacks await! Hell YEAH SNACKS! You bolt out of your bedroom and down the stairs to the living room, and then through the kinda-cool saloon doors into the kitchen. You're not sure why your pops chose such a weird architectural decision- especially when neither your parents nor your older brother seem to be home often enough to appreciate how cool it is to kick open the kitchen doors every time like a cowpony at high noon. Of course, since your older brother is off being a royal guard, that's slightly more acceptable. Kicking butt for Princess and Country is almost as cool as pretending to be a cowpony. You open the fridge and start rummaging around for a snack- a sweet, crisp bottle of apple juice taunts you from the top shelf. You're probably gonna be getting thirsty later when you start playing- definitely gotta save that for later. ==> Captchalogue Apple Juice What does that- oh. You reached for the juice and it kinda just... turned into a card??? That's weird. You look over your shoulder, expecting to see a flash of Discord's serpentine body playing some kind of practical joke on you- but nope, the juice is just stuck on a card now. Looking at it, you see that the card is on some kind of grid-thingy. The words "Puzzle Modus" flash at the top, as the apple juice sticks itself in the top-left corner, taking up a single square in the grid. Hmm. ==> Scootaloo: Just take the whole fridge. Do it. Okay this thing has GOT to be too big to carry- oh, okay yep it fits. It takes up a whole 6 slot column, 4 slots wide. But it fits. You've gotta tell the crusaders about this ==> Be Silver Spoon ==> Enough dawdling! Bring back the dragon!
