//------------------------------// // Everyone Plays Cuphead // Story: Sunset Plays Cuphead // by MorbidTheBrony //------------------------------// Sunset may now be done with Cuphead but that sure as hell doesn't mean that's the last she'd see of it. Sunset was making her way towards her bouncy haired friend's house for her Cuphead slumber party. The plan for tonight was that everyone (With the exception of Pinkie and Sunset) will get a chance to play Cuphead and have a gay old time getting mad over little failures. Yes, tonight was going to be a good night. She rang the doorbell to Pinkie Pie's house and was almost immediately greeted by Pinkie. "Sunset!" She pulled Sunset in for a big hug. "Glad you could make it. Everyone's already waiting for you in my room." She allowed Sunset to walk by her into her home. Sunset made her way upstairs and through the hallway leading to Pinkie's room. She opened the door and was once again greeted. This time by the rest of her friends: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight. "Hey girls!" Sunset waved. "Everyone ready for tonight?" Everyone, except Rainbow Dash, nervously nodded their heads. Sunset took notice of this. "Something wrong?" she asked. Applejack opened her mouth to speak but Rainbow Dash had beaten her to it, "Pfft! Nah, this is going to be easy." "You oughta hold that tongue 'til you actually play it," Sunset said. "I've played many hard games in my life. This one will be no different." Sunset smirked. "If that's how you feel then I know the perfect boss for you to fight first." Rainbow looked up at Sunset. "Name it." "Dr. Kahl's Robot." She got up from Pinkie's bed and stared at Sunset directly in the eye. "You're on, Pony-girl." They both stared sharing the same smirk until Pinkie finally showed up with bowls of crisps, marshmallows and any kind of sweet you could think of and a large bottle of Cola with a bag of red party cups. "Whah Ah mish?" Pinkie asked with a mouthful of marshmallows. Applejack spoke, "Rainbow was feelin' quite confident 'bout tonight so Sunset over here decided on who she's gonna fight first." Pinkie swallowed the whole thing down and smiled excitedly. "Oooh! Who?" Sunset turned to face her pink friend. "Dr. Kahl's Robot." Pinkie's smile did a 180°. "Oh, um... Yeah, I don't-" "It's fine, Pinkie. I'm pretty sure I can handle it," Rainbow said confidently. "Well okay then," Pinkie shrugged. She walked over to her TV and switched everything on. She placed the snacks on the table only to the left of her TV unit. She signed into her profile and booted up the game. "Be prepared," she said with her oh-so-famous monotone voice, "For this game will test your limits of reaction and your sanity." Everyone (Except Sunset) stared at Pinkie with the same blank expression. "What? You think I'm joking?" Sunset stood up. "This is a time were you should take her word for it, guys," she said. "Going by my own experience, you'll all because having a difficult time. But that's what's gonna make this a fun night, right?" Everyone murmured agreements which Sunset was happy to here. "Great. Now I'm going to get changed so start without me." Sunset walked out of the room with her pyjamas in hand. Pinkie clapped her hands together. "Okay! So who wants to go first?" she asked. Nobody's hand raised. "Come on, guys. Where's your Cuphead spirit?" Twilight now spoke, "We don't really know what Cuphead is about." And now Rarity, "And with you and Sunset making it out to be very difficult doesn't make this all the much better, Darling." Pinkie crossed her arms. "Fine. Then it'll be Rainbow Dash then." Rainbow shot up and stared at Pinkie in surprise. "What?! Why me?" "Well you seemed to be very confident that the game isn't that hard, so how bad could it be, hmm?" Pinkie explained. "W-Well yeah. But that doesn't mean I want to play it first." "Ah come on, Rainbow. Jus' play th' game," said Applejack. "Show us yer 'pro gamin' skills'." Rainbow looked at the controller that Pinkie was trying to hand her. Sure, she loved to show off - especially in front of her friends - but she usually wasn't first up when it came to that. With Rainbow being clear that this won't be one of those times, she took the controller from Pinkie. "Fine, I'll play it," huffed Rainbow Dash. "But you're playing next, Applejack!" Applejack rested the back of her head on her arms at the top of Pinkie's bed, grinning. "A'right. Ah will," she said. Rainbow Dash wandered around Inkwell Isle III in search of the level Sunset had set for her. "What was the boss again?" Rainbow asked. "It was... that one right there," Pinkie pointed to a large junk pile on the screen. "Dr. Kahl's Robot, it's called." "Okay, I got this," Rainbow said barely confidently. "You need a run down of the controls?" Pinkie asked. Just as Pinkie finished, Rainbow had already loaded the boss. "Uh, no need. I-I can do this. Heh-heh," Rainbow laughed nervously. The fight began and it wasn't a running stage like she expected. Instead, Cuphead was sitting in a small plane. The boss was a mad scientist (Who could only be Dr. Kahl) controlling a giant robot which looked all too familiar to Twilight. "Hey, wait a second... Isn't that the Iron Giant?" Twilight wondered. Pinkie answered, "Oh yeah. This game is filled to the brim with references." Pinkie laughed at her own joke along with nobody else. "Filled to the brim?" She still got confused glares. "C'mon guys! Because Cuphead is a cup?" A round of 'Ohs' were heard, obvious that now everyone gets the joke. Still, no one laughed. Sunset came back now changed into her magenta pyjamas with her cutie mark symbolised in the middle of her shirt. She noticed that Rainbow Dash was first to play and that she was fighting the boss Sunset had told her to fight. "Is this still your first attempt, Rainbow?" Sunset asked. "Yep! And I'm kicking this guy's ass!" Rainbow confidently said. Sunset looked at the screen, then looked over at Pinkie and mouthed, 'No she isn't' to her. Pinkie returned that with a nod of her head and a large grin. Rainbow had eventually died to a laser that was shot from the robot's head. "Dammit!" Rainbow exclaimed. "I was so close!" "Yeah, no you weren't," Sunset told her. "What are you talking about?" Sunset pointed at her progress. Apparently Cuphead hadn't moved a single inch from the start. Rainbow then gave a shocked look. "W-wh... How is that possible?! I was damaging that thing!" "Yeah, this boss is a little weirder than the others," began Sunset. "There are a number of things you have to destroy before moving onto the second phase, like: His head laser, his bomb shooting stomach and his chest heart." Rainbow's shocked face changed to one of annoyance. "That's just taking the piss!" "You wanna try again?" "Yeah, I'll try again." Rainbow Dash reloaded the boss for a second time, hoping to do better this time. "Heh, fun fact: This boss is based off of-" "The Iron Giant, we know," interrupted Rainbow trying to concentrate. She kept her eyes glued to the screen, trying to block out any surrounding distraction, even Fluttershy, despite the fact she hadn't spoken a single word since Sunset arrived. Everyone watched as Rainbow was playing. Sunset had to admit, she wasn't doing so bad. Especially for her first time playing and the fact that Sunset challenged her to fight what was said to be the hardest boss of the game. Rainbow managed to destroy the stomach of the robot, which was already further than before. "Heh. I got this," she said. Fluttershy reached out for her drink as quietly and as quickly as possible as to not distract Rainbow Dash. She brought the cup to her mouth and took an audible sip. It was that exact moment that Rainbow once again died. "No!" Rainbow cried. "Fluttershy, you distracted me!" "I did what?" Fluttershy finally spoke. "You were slurping too loud!" Applejack jumped up to calm Rainbow down. "Relax there, Rainbow. She did nothin' wrong. Jus' enjoyin' her drink." Sunset also stepped in, "Yeah. That and I also set you up to fight one of the hardest bosses of the game." "I hate you, you know that?" Rainbow said, scowling at Sunset. Sunset winked at her, "Love ya too." Rainbow rolled her eyes and handed Applejack the controller. "Here, you play it now." "What, yeh givin' up already?" Applejack asked. "We only jus' started th' night." "I'll play it again later," Rainbow said defeated while laying back down on Pinkie's bed. Applejack took Rainbow's place in front of the TV and made her way to explore Inkwell Isle II. "I-I'm sorry if I messed your turn up," Fluttershy put her hand on Rainbow's shoulder trying to apologise. Rainbow waved her hand away and sighed. "Don't be," she said. "I should've known I'd lose to a game like this." "You can have my turn if you want? I don't play a lot of video games." Rainbow adjusted herself to sit upright next to Fluttershy. "No, no. You have fun, Fluttershy." "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I'm sure. Thanks though." They both shared a smile and watched as Applejack was trying to pick a level to play. She travelled around the second Isle to see what boss spiked her interests. She eventually came around a large roller coaster. "Is this a boss fights?" she asked. Pinkie nodded and Applejack moved over to the boss. "Beppi th' Clown? Man, Ah hate clowns." Pinkie gasped at that. "Why would you hate clowns?!" "Ah dunno. Jus' somethin' 'bout them gives me the heebie-jeebies," Applejack explained. "I'm with you, Applejack," Twilight said. Pinkie now looked at Twilight in surprise. "Wh- wh-... Okay, who else here hates clowns?" The hands of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy shot up into the air. "Okay, Fluttershy I think I understand but you, Dashie? Why would you hate clowns?" Rainbow Dash didn't respond at all. Instead, she had a traumatised look on her face. Fluttershy poked her in hope that she would respond. "Okay... What about you two?" She pointed to Rarity and Sunset. "Meh, clowns are alright," was all Sunset could say. "Although I've seen most clowns in my life here from crappy horror movies." "I saw clowns all of the time when I used to take Sweetie Belle for a day out. Sure, I wasn't very fond of them at first but I learned to get used on them," Rarity explained as she painted her nails a bright new coat of pink. "Okay, so three of us have a sense of humour," Pinkie said quickly before turning back to face Applejack. "How about it, AJ? Wanna fight Beppi?" "A-Ah guess... Can Ah play it on easy mode?" she asked sheepishly. "Well you can but where's the fun with easy mode?" "Th' fact Ah could actually beat it." "But tonight isn't about winning. It's about having a gay old time getting mad at a game we've never even played!" Pinkie through her hands up enthusiastically. "Except for me and Sunset." "Sunset and me," Twilight corrected. "Whatever." Pinkie shrugged her off. "Oh, Applejack, you need help with the controls?" "Eeyup." Pinkie took a deep breath. "A to jump, X to shoot, B to use your EX or special move, Y to dash, RB to lock on and LB to switch weapon. Ya got all that?" "Uh..." "Great! Let's do it!" Pinkie selected normal mode for her, giving her no time to react, and was met with a clown with a face that was half red and half white, a nose that could challenge Squidward's and a bumper car that would be used to mow Cuphead down. Applejack casted a glare at Pinkie but was immediately pulled back into the game as Beppi was charging straight at Cuphead. Cuphead jumped over in time but only barely. She pressed the X button to shoot, a small orange flame shot out of Cuphead's finger. "No, no. You gotta charge this gun to do real damage," Pinkie pointed out. Applejack did just that and this time, the small candle bullet turned into a meteorite. Though it did look powerful, Applejack wasn't the biggest fan of weapons she had to charge before firing so she switched to see what other weapon Pinkie had equipped, which was the Boomerang shot. Now Applejack put her thumb on X and didn't let go, finishing Beppi's first phase in just under a minute. "Now this Ah can get behind." She grinned confidently as she fought Beppi's next phase. Beppi now arised as a balloon man, blowing balloons that took the shape of a dogs head from either side of the screen while an oncoming roller coaster train headed for Cuphead. That's a lot to pay attention to, right? For Applejack though, that wasn't exactly the case as she took out every balloon that appeared while also attacking Beppi, and it was all thanks to the handy-dandy Boomerang bullets. She made great use out of her shot even while running from cart to cart on the roller coaster whenever it appeared. Applejack was doing so well that it even left Pinkie baffled. She eventually made it to the third phase while still holding strong with two HP. "Wow. I didn't even do this well when I first fought Beppi," Sunset said. "How are you so good at this?" "Ah really don' know. Ah barely play video games all too often with all th' chores Ah'm havin' to do. 'Specially with Big Mac breakin' 'is arm," Applejack explained. "Thanks a ton by th' way, Sunset, for all th' help." Sunset smiled sweetly. "Ack, it's no big deal. I love it down on the farm so I'm always happy to help whenever it's needed." Applejack turned back to the boss. Beppi was now riding on a carousel horse either coloured yellow or green. The horse would spit out horseshoes, differently depending on the horse's colour. The yellow horse would spit horseshoes which would travel to the other side of the screen similarly to a low frequency wave. The green would spit out horseshoes that would remain at the top of the screen to eventually rain down on Cuphead with only one opening that would keep Cuphead safe from harm. But Applejack, like most players, stayed under the bastard and shot upwards. "Hey, isn't that cheating?" Twilight pointed out. "Well, kinda. But everyone does it so..." Sunset shrugged and continued to watch her stetson wearing friend. She was still doing very well. Boy, wouldn't she be in trouble if she got hit now-? "Watch out for that horseshoe!" Pinkie warned. But it was too late. Applejack was so caught up with killing Beppi that she somehow didn't notice the horse's colour had changed back to yellow. Her expression changed from confidence to now worry. "I-It's fine. You can do this!" Pinkie said almost as worried as Applejack. She continued her cycle of staying under the horse until she was able to finish the phase. "Is it over yet?" Applejack hoped. "Nope, but you've only got one more phase to fight!" For the final phase, Beppi no longer stole from a carousel. Instead, now he was the carousel. From the umbrella roof came down platforms that would circle the once-was-clown. Applejack wasn't feeling so confident anymore. She had come so far yet she felt as though she was about to lose. Then she remembered something Pinkie had told her. "Hey Pinkie? What does B do again?" she quickly asked. Pinkie looked down at Cuphead's special cards and instead of telling her what they did, she just kept shouting, "Press it! Press it!" Applejack did just that. Cuphead rose up from the ground and shot his giant milk beam in Beppi's direction. Applejack hoped that was the end of it but apparently not, he was still alive. Cuphead fell down below as there was no platform to stand upon as he was finished with his super attack, and immediately died as there were small enemies that would shoot baseballs at him. Applejack stared at the screen as if she just got slapped by Applebloom. She read the death quote. It read, 'What do you call a cup that falls of a swing? A tumbler!' And her progress meter was practically on the end. She now looked as though she wanted to punch right through the screen, which was easy enough for her to do. "Are ya kiddin' me?!" She walked towards the screen. "Tha's on the end! How's that fair?!" Twilight and Sunset tried to pull her away. They both told her to calm down and that it was just a game. "It's fine, Applejack. You did great," Sunset calmed her down. "Better than what I did for my first time, actually." "How were you so good?" Twilight asked. "Ah really don' know." Applejack scratched the back of her neck. "Ah... Ah just was." "Heck, you were as good as me for my first time," Pinkie said. "Ah was?" Pinkie nodded in response. "And we all know if it's coming from Pinkie, that's saying something," Rainbow spoke up. Pinkie turned to the rest of the girls. "Okay, who goes next?" Fluttershy slowly raised her hand. "I-I'll go... If that's okay?" she said very quietly. "Alright then, Fluttershy's turn!" Pinkie announced. "Here ya go, Sugarcube," Applejack said passing her the controller. Fluttershy took a seat in front of the TV. "Can... Can I have a partner to help?" she asked. "I don't think I can do this on my own..." Almost immediately, Twilight volunteered to help. "I'll help you. How hard could it be when there's two of us?" Pinkie handed Twilight another controller. "Some say it's just as hard, while some others say it's even harder," Sunset explained. "I wouldn't know, I haven't tried 2-Player mode." "Could you give us a simpler boss to play?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah, we aren't really gamers per se," Twilight added. "Neither is Applejack but she still kicked ass," came Rainbow Dash. "Yeah, even non-gamers can have much more skill than those who play games like, like... Crash 1 or Dark Souls or Breath of the Wild or Kaizo Mario or Super Meat B-" Sunset put her hand over Pinkie's blabbing mouth. "What Pinkie was trying to say is that you'll be fine," Sunset said. "Losing is very common with this game. Take Rainbow for example-" Rainbow shot up. "That's because of you!" "Anyway, I still want to give you two a challenge, so I'm recommending Ribby and Croaks in the first isle." Twilight joined the game and was playing as Cuphead's brother Mugman, who had a straight blue straw, blue shorts and eyes that weren't attached to the top of his cup head. They both wandered the isle but were completely lost due to them literally knowing nothing about the game. They both got help from Pinkie and Sunset who took the controllers and lead the brothers back to Isle I. They journeyed the small forest until they came across a large boat. They entered the level, which was called, 'Clip Joint Calamity'. Pinkie and Sunset both gave Twilight and Fluttershy their controllers back and wished them both luck. The boss contained not one, but two enemies, perfect for two player. Twilight looked at Sunset, rather un-surprised, we'll say. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?" she accused. "I can neither confirm or deny that," replied Sunset, grinning. One enemy was a fat, green frog and the other was a brown, taller frog, both of them wore boxing gloves. Almost immediately, the girls were thrown into action as Ribby (The green frog) began firing flaming fists towards the cup brothers and Croaks (The brown frog) began spitting literal fireflies. Literally, they were on fire. The girls reacted to their attacks as best as they could but barely succeeded. Twilight was constantly firing no matter what direction she was facing while also avoiding Ribby's fists, while Fluttershy was only avoiding the attacks, panicking because she was scared of dying so early in the boss fight. Twilight eventually found Mugman dead as his ghost was now slowly rising into the heavens or in this case, off screen. Pinkie quickly jumped up. "Quick, parry the ghost!" "How do I parry the ghost?!" Fluttershy panicked. "Press A while midair!" Fluttershy did what Pinkie commanded but found that she was too late to save her buddy. Fluttershy's stress levels now rocketed as she was now on her own. She continued to jump while also trying to kill the fireflies. Unfortunately, she didn't last very long as she was too busy avoiding Ribby's fiery fists o' pain. The death quote read, 'We've had fightin' souls since we've been tiny tadpoles.' They restarted the level in hopes of doing better. Since they now know how to parry, they might live to see the next phase. 15 Minutes Later They were still at it. Even though they should've given Rarity her turn quite a while ago, Twilight and Fluttershy were still fighting Ribby and Croaks. They were very tempted to finish this boss and will stop at nothing until they were done. Their skills had improved during the fights but it wasn't enough to get them past the final phase, which was a giant slot machine. Rarity tried to snap them out of their insanity, "Twilight, Fluttershy, darlings, I-I think you two have had en-" "Must fight! Must kill!" Twilight interrupted, not taking her eyes away from the screen. "Alright, fine. Be that way," Rarity decided, double checking her makeup. Everyone just watched as Twilight and Fluttershy were doing literally all they could to ensure they passed the boss with flying colours. Getting close to finishing, yes. Doing it with great skill, no not really. They made it to the final phase once again. The slot machine let down a parrable lever that would indicate whatever doom was about to arrive for them. Fluttershy parried the lever and the slots had three bull symbols. "You ready, Sparkle?" she asked trying to contain herself from blowing up. Twilight didn't respond. Instead, she gripped her controller tighter. The slots represented three animals: A bull, a snake and a tiger. Whatever one was chosen would be the frog brothers next plan of attack. The machine would shoot out spiked rings with a different formation of attack depending on what was chosen. The bull had red rings that would fly from right-to-left directly in the middle of the screen. The rings would shoot out a flame from either the top or bottom of the ring. The objective is to either travel through or jump over the rings depending on what side the flame is on. The snake had green rings that would, once again, travel from the right side to the left but this time, only on the ground. The objective here was simply to either jump over or onto the rings, as it is possible to stand on them. The tigers had orange rings that would work just like the snake but only this time, balls would bounce up and down onto their ring. The objective now here is exactly the same as the snake, the difference being how now reactions have to be quicker. Something about the slot machine itself is that it is invulnerable to damage while it's only attacking with coins, during the lever stage. And now back to the girls. They managed to pass the bull stage fairly easy but they were on edge the whole time as Cuphead and Mugman only had one HP left. They parried the lever once again and now the slots had the tigers on them. This got the girls even more scared as this phase was the death of them too many times now. The rings came flying out of the machine and only after two jumps, Mugman had died. Fluttershy did whatever she could to revive him but she lost him. It was now up to Fluttershy to finish the fight. Only she now was the one to stop Ribby and Croaks right where they sta- and she's dead. "SON OF A BITCH!!" Fluttershy cried, immediately slapping her hands in front of her mouth and blushing furiously. Everyone stared at Fluttershy in shock as she was never one for swearing. "I think you've had enough tonight, Fluttershy," Sunset whispered to her, walking her away from the game. Rarity sighed, "Pinkie, why did you invite us to this?" Pinkie shrugged. "I though it would be fun. That and I was hoping to see reactions like this and..." She broke into fits of laughter. "And holy hell am I glad I did!" Sunset slapped Pinkie on the back of the head. Pinkie rubbed the back of her head and looked sadly at Sunset. Now Sunset sighed. "You still up for playing, Rares?" she asked. "I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to." "Well, despite all of the reactions everyone has given so far, this game does look quite fun, so why not. Pass me a controller." Rarity put her hand out for Sunset to pass her Fluttershy's controller. After doing so, Sunset turned around to see Twilight was still playing the game. She lifted Twilight from under her shoulders and dragged her away. "C'mon Twilight, you've had enough too," she told her. "Go on, Rarity, before she gets back." Finally, Rarity sat down on the now gaming spot and exited the level. She wandered around Inkwell Isle I to look for another boss but none really stood out for her. She then explored Inkwell Isle II. Still nothing. Then to Inkwell Isle III but thought about how much harder the bosses were here, so she went back to the other isles. Rarity moaned. "Not one of these bosses please me." She handed Sunset the controller and closed her eyes. "Surprise me." Sunset had the power now. She could make Rarity fight the absolute worst of all of the bosses, whoever that was. But she didn't deserve that. That, and she already made a certain Skittles haired individual play what was probably the hardest boss of the game. Sunset guided Cuphead to a candy store that was shaped like a cupcake and selected the boss that took the name, 'Sugarland Shimmy'. She quickly handed Rarity back the controller before the boss started. The screen loaded a large and pink candyland along with a cake castle with eyes and a sweetie princess called Baroness Von Bon Bon. She was immediately swallowed by the castle and the fight began. Out of the castle came a Pac-Man inspired red jawbreaker with an even smaller blue jawbreaker trailing behind it. "Ooh!" Pinkie clapped her hands together. "This is my favourite boss!" "Of course it is," Rarity said. Because why would it not be? It's a candyland! What's not to love about it? "Took the words right out of my mouth, dear sir." Wait, what? Everyone (Except Rarity) looked at Pinkie confusingly. No one said anything, they all just stared. Who was she talking to was what they were all thinking. Pinkie gave an embarrassed smile and slowly walked out of the room. Rarity began circling the Pac-Man jawbreaker- forget it, let's call it Pac-Jaw. Anyway, she was circling Pac-Jaw while spraying the Boomerang shot in every direction. The phase wasn't anything too bad. All it was was a circle floating around the place. She managed to kill it relatively quickly with still all of her health. "Sheesh, Sunset, when I gave you the controller, I didn't expect you to go so easy on me," said Rarity. "Oh, I wasn't going easy on you," Sunset smirked. The next phase, a flying waffle with syrup wings and a small block of butter on it's head came out of the castle. After a moment of flying, it began charging an attack. Rarity thought nothing of it as it looked very simple. "Whatever do you mean, darli-" Rarity didn't finish. The waffle had split apart it's body into nine squares and shot the outside eight outwards in all directions. One of which hit Cuphead in the process. Rarity cleared her throat. "Still, it's not too much. Nothing even I can't handle, that is." Sunset patted her on the shoulder. "Keep telling yourself that." Rarity shook Sunset’s hand away. "I will and I will show yo- oh come on! What damaged me there?" Cuphead was suddenly now left with one HP. "Jelly bean knight," Sunset said pointing towards a tiny pink man running across the screen. "This thing riiight here." "How easy is it now, Rarity?" Rainbow smugly asked. Rarity tried glaring at her without actually looking at her. "Oh be quiet, you..." "Still doin' better than you'd done," Applejack finally spoke again. "Again! Not. My. Fault!" Rainbow emphasised each word. "You were lookin' for a challenge, though." "Yeah, not the hardest boss of the entire game!" "You didn't make that clear," Sunset said still grinning. "Hush everyone, I'm trying to focus," Rarity sternly said focusing. Pinkie finally came back after when she walked out of the room for no reason at all. "All right girls, I'm back. I just had to- ooh, candy corn!" She smiled with delight. "Will you all be quiet?! I'm doing very well right now!" Rarity was now on the third phase, which was a giant candy corn with large pointy teeth. Once again, it was floating around the level with a smaller version itself running wild. She had many close calls, especially with the smaller corn. The only problem was that she had already forgotten about the jelly beans. And the result of that was another death. She sighed sadly. "At least I was pretty close." She then looked at her progress and apparently her being 'close' wasn't the case, she was only around halfway through Baroness and her minions. "Oh, that dreadful piece of... *Sigh* It's fine. I just have to try this again." She pressed restart. "You blasted pile of filth!" Rarity cried. "I hope your sweet teeth decay and fall out!" Everyone became very surprised by Rarity's sudden outburst. But then immediately started laughing, and they were laughing hard. "What's so funny?" she asked. Pinkie tried to speak, "I-It's j-just... how y-you ins-sulted Bon B-Bon!" She continued her huge fit of laughter. "W-Why would you say that?!" Rainbow managed to get out. "I-It was so st-stupid y-yet it was so GOOD!!" "Well, I for one don't find it very amusing; it's very frustrating having to lose to the ruler of diabetes land!" Rarity shouted at the screen. Somehow, everyone started laughing even harder and having realising everything she just said, Rarity began laughing too. They all laughed for a good few minutes until Pinkie got up, wiping away a tear that was forming from her eye. "O-Okay," she began, still giggling. "I think we have time for one more game. Sunset, grab a controller, your doing this with me!" Sunset sat up right. "But Pinkie, I said-" "C'mon! Just one more game?" Pinkie made a sad puppy face while she held up the second controller. Sunset sighed, "Fine. One more, but that's it." She sat beside Pinkie. "So, what level are we going to play? King Dice? The Phantom Express?" "Nope! None of those guys." Pinkie travelled back to Inkwell Isle I and walked under the path leading to Hilda Berg. Pinkie smiled as she selected their final level... "Fandom Frenzy!" THE END
