"Welcome every creature to this very special edition to the show,” Tempest announced to their listeners, “We are outside the School of Friendship’s sports grounds as we are commentating a very special buckball event. The School of Friendship, or SOF, is taking On Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, or CSGU, in a friendly game of buckball.”
“Now you all must be wondering, but surely Celestia’s school is full of unicorns, so how is it that unicorns are playing when the game requires a pegasus and a unicorn?” Sunset acted in asking the valid question, which Starlight answered.
“To answer that question, Princess Celestia put dampening rings on their horns, to prevent any magical cheating, as well as giving magical wings, the same king Rarity used during their trip to Cloudsdale once, according to what Twilight told me,” Starlight answered.
“Well,” Trixie began, “Let’s turn our attention back to the game where the crowd has gathered, including Princess Celestia and every creature is at the centre of the field. Granny Smith, long time player, surprisingly back in the good old days, as agreed to be the referee.”
“Last time, CSGU won the first match on the field, along with impressive cheerleading from Rainbow Dash’s crew. We are expecting another amazing match today, so let’s join the audience to observe how this game plays out,” Sunset explained and she, as well as the rest of the R.U.G., turned towards the field. By now, every player was ready and waiting for Granny Smith to throw the ball.
“She throws the ball and it’s the SOF that win the buck off, who passes back to their player on the same team, with an impressive catch that would make Fluttershy proud. She throws back to the centre of the field, but it’s CSGU that buck the ball to their team, saved by the opposite team of SOF,” Trixie commentated first.
“She passes it back with SOF winning the next buck, kicking the ball back. CSGU tries to save it, but goes into the basket. It’s one-nil to SOF,” Starlight observed as the crowd supporting the SOF cheered.
“The ball is handed back to the centre for the next round,” Tempest observed, “With another throw, the game is on. SOF takes the buck off, passing it to the pegasus waiting in front of the goal with a strong tail catch. She tries to pass it back to their team, but CSGU come back with a strong buck. There’s not time opposite player to save it and the unicorn puts it in the basket. Now it’s one-one!” Sunset observed with excitement, literally at the edge of her seat.
They took it in terms to commentate each round, leading up to half time where it was two-one to the School of Friendship it was then that something special planned for the interval act.
“And now every creature, something special is being planned by some of the students at the SOF, planned by Rainbow Dash. So please welcome to the field, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder and special cheerleaders Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof!” The crowd went wild as smoke filled the field. Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof appeared from the smoke created by Smolder. Shimmy Shake started off her verse.
Every creature welcome to this special game,
We expect you to cheer for your team’s name.
Raise your voices to it fills the sky
It will be enough to make then score high!
Lighthoof added her own part in.
This is a game where every creature’s here,
So let’s celebrate with one big cheer.
The School of Friendship and School of Magic
Have their heads in the game.
Remember that we’re in for the fun,
And there is no shame.
Ocellus finished the final line,
2, 4, 6, Great!
Throughout the performance, Yona stomped in time, encouraging the crowd to stomp along too. Smolder finished by circling the field with smoke, before the group finished in a pyramid, Smolder releasing a roaring fire from her mouth.
“COME ON SCHOOL OF MAGIC!” An unexpected voice roared from the audience. The R.U.G., players and audience turned towards the unexpected source of the noise, Princess Celestia.
“That was unexpected,” Trixie looked in shock.
“Who knew Princess Celestia was one of those fans?” Sunset as equally surprised, “I thought I knew her well.”
They continued onto the second half. Ultimately, it was the School of Friendship this time who was victorious in the matches. Every creature had fun, as well as the hosts on the R.U.G.
“Well that was quite a game with full of twists and surprises. Hope you all enjoyed the commentating and the interval act,” Sunset thanked their listeners.
“Who knows where we will be next on our next show, but it will just as fun as this one, guaranteed!” Starlight added.
“Until next time,” Tempest paused to allow Trixie to finish.
“It’s good by from the R.U.G., coming live from the School of Friendship!” Trixie concluded.
