//------------------------------// // 2, Smooch and Games // Story: Applebloom Tries... // by FIM Fiction //------------------------------// *CAMERA BOOTING UP *SYTEM CHECK *ALL SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL *RECORDING STARTS "How y'all! It's me, Apple Bloom!" the yellow filly said, waving her hand. "As y'all can see, mah friends are here and we're in our clubhouse." "Yeah!" "Hi"! The two other fillies waved in the background. Applebloom smiled at her friends. before facing the camera again. She held a tablet, something not from this world, a gift from the Narrator. "I've read some of the suggestions that y'all sent. So, let's start with our first. Peni Parker says: I look forward to seeing all the things that Apple Bloom and the CMCs will be trying! Well, we are too." Applebloom's eyes went further down the list. "Uhh... Give me a sec. Twilight usually does one thing per episode so..." She frowned as she read Kichi's list. Maybe stay a day with Discord? Visit Sunset Shimmer world? Visit Babs Seed? Kiss Sweetie Belle in the mouth? Kiss Scootaloo in the mouth? Borrow Applejack hat? Applebloom stuck out her tongue. "One of the things here is for us tah kiss!" "Eeewwwww!" Sweetie Belle stuck out her tongue. "That's gross!" Scootaloo added. "Plus, we're all girls! Girls only kiss boys." Sweetie Belle said. Applebloom was about to move on, when The Narrator made a suggestion to her of taking those word literally. "Hey Scootaloo, open your mouth." Applebloom said with an odd smirk. "Okay?" Scootaloo said. "Ahh." "Open it wider, and keep it open until Ah say so." Applebloom walked over to Scootaloo, helping to force her jaw open wider, until the pegasus's head began to resemble Pac Man. "Ah! Ieh urh!" Scootaloo complained. She almost slammed her jaw shut as she felt Applebloom stick her muzzle in, kissing the top of her mouth. Applebloom quickly pulled her head out, with Scootaloo quickly closing her mouth. "What was that about!?" she asked, angry. "Well the suggestion was ta kiss ya in the mouth, so I kissed you IN the mouth." Applebloom said. "We did the suggestion, just not what they wanted." "Ugh. Just don't do it again." Scootaloo said, rubbing her jaw hinges. "Kinda have to." Applebloom pointed out. The two turned to look at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle let out an eep. "No! I don't want to hurt my jaw!" "Hey, it's only fair!" Scootaloo retorted. Sweetie Belle shivered, before opening her mouth. She needed help from both her friends to open her mouth wide enough. Applebloom once again delivered a quick kiss to the roof of the mouth, pulling out fast as Sweetie Belle slowly closed her mouth. "Owww..." "Your turn." Scootaloo now said, turning to face Applebloom. "Nope!" Applebloom said with a smirk, showing the screen to her friends. "It was for me to kiss y'all. Not the other way round." "Dang. What else is on the list?" Scootaloo questioned. "Uhh... Day with Discord. We'd need our sisters permissions. Visit Babs. Also need permission. Dunno who that is. Course would take too long, could be done for a family event..." Applebloom looked up from the tablet with a grin. "How do y'all think bout beatin Button Mash'es record?" "In which game?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Who's Button Mash?" Scootaloo asked. "He's the brown kid with the propeller hat." Applebloom explained. "And heck, any of them!" "Sure!" "I'm down for that." the two fillies with extra limbs said. The Narrator pondered if a horn actually would be considered an extra limb. "Kay! I just gotta see if Applejack will let me borrow her hat. See y'all there!" Applebloom said. She picked up the camera and headed out. *TIME SKIP CUT* Applebloom trotted up to her sister, having put the tablet in a book bag. "Say sis? Can Ah borrow one of yer hats for today?" Applejack bucked the tree, apples falling into the baskets like a demon or angel was putting them in. The Narrator considered the possibility. "Why would ya want to where one? Ya know they're too big for yah." "For some reason a veiwer wants me to borrow your hat." Applebloom explained as Winona walked over. Applebloom sat down and began petting Winona, holding up the camera towards her dog. Applejack bucked another tree. "Sure. Don't see why not." Applejack shook her head, her hat flying through the air, landing on... Winona. Applebloom, Applejack, and The Narrator laughed at how cute Winona looked, with the hat covering her eyes as she panted happily, ears poking out from beneath the hat and tongue hanging out. She let out a bark as she couldn't see, and gave her head a tilt, wondering why she couldn't see. *VIDEO END* *Picture Taken. Winona in hat. Saved as Hat Win. REC "Got a picture!" Applebloom said cheerfully. Applejack let out a chuckle, before removing the hat from Winona and plopping it on Applebloom's head. "Be back before supper." *TIME SKIP CUT* The three gremlins trotted up to the arcade, which was outside for some reason. "Hey Button Mash!" Applebloom called out. "We're here to beat your record!" There was a huge gasp from many of the children playing, as they stopped and stared at the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Button Mash looked around, confused as to why that was so shocking. "Okay?" he said. "Go ahead I guess." He then continued to play the game he was currently playing. "..." The three ponies of doom looked at each other. "Huh. I thought he'd be at least a little competitive about holding his title as King of the Arcade." Scootaloo said somewhat loudly. The rest of the children looked at Button Mash for his response. "Ponies call me that???" Button Mash asked, not looking away from the screen. "Why?" Sweetie Belle let out a sigh. She walked over to Button Mash. "We were wanting to play a game against you and see if we could beat your high score." she explained. "Sure!" Button Mash said, beating the boss and winning. "Sounds like fun. Which game should we play?" "How about this one?" Scootaloo asked, pointing to a machine. "It's four player!" Button Mash grimaced. "That's The Hoards of Darkness. You need four players to actually win, and it's reallly tough. Basically, it's rigged. I haven't even been able to beat the fifth level. It also takes hours to play. "So you have never beat this game?" Applebloom asked. "No." Button Mash answered. The CMC looked at each other, then at Button Mash. "What do ya say bout the four of us beatin this game?" *EDIT MOST INTERESTING EVENTS IN* "All right. So Ah'm a Fighter, Sweetie Belle's a Wizard, Scootaloo's a rouge, and you're a farmer?" Applebloom asked. "The farmer is better at healing then the cleric, something you wouldn't expect. Like I said, this is rigged." Button Mash answered. "Alrighty then." * "AHHH I'M ON FIRE!" "There's water barrel over there!" "I need healing!" * "Ack! Help me up!" "Why is there a trap door of LAVA in the bathroom!??!?" * "DIE YOU SCUMBAG PILE OF HORSESHOES!" "WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?!?" "I DON'T KNOW BUT THESE GUYS ARE LITTERAL HORSESHOES!" *FINNALY* "Come on! Nightmare's almost dead!" Applebloom shouted, dodging a barrage of spikes. She ran and did a kick into the Alicorn's stomach. Sweetie Belle shot her staff at Nightmare with a bow. Scootaloo fired an Acid Gun, while Button Mash whacked Nightmare with the Starter Stick. Nightmare flew threw the air, landing on her back, defeated. She faded away while the screen changed to outside the castle of two sisters The sun rose as the moon lowered, with the Message TRUE END. The crowd of children and adults cheered as Button Mash collapsed. "See!? I told you we needed to defeat her with the weakest weapon! This game is super rigged and we beat it!" Scootaloo did a victory dance, while Applebloom walked over to a water fountain. Sweetie Belle collapsed beside Button Mash. "Who knew playing a game could make you sweat so much?" she panted. Applebloom took her camera back from Madam Mayor. "That was today's episode of Applebloom tries. Ima go home and sleep." she said to the camera. *TIME SKIP CUT* Applebloom walked into the kitchen, grabbing a fritter. She began walking up stairs when her sister called out to her. "Where do ya think your goin? You got chores to do." "Can't. Too tired." Applebloom replied, pushing the door open to her room. She paused, her tired brain processing something. "Oh yeah. Here's your hat." Applebloom walked over to the top of the stairs, weakly throwing down the hat. Applejack picked up the hat. It was rather damp. "What ya do, go swimming in this?" She sniffed the hat. "Ugh! How do ya sweat that much playin an arcade game?" She looked at her sister, only to see she had collapsed with the camera facing Applejack. "Huh. You really are tuckered out." Applejack walked up the stairs and turned off the c- *VIDEO END*
