//------------------------------// // If you can't stand the heat.. // Story: The Amazing Crossover Race // by FireDasher24 //------------------------------// Episode 10: If you can't stand the heat.. (Scenes from the previous race are shown as Discord recaps.) Discord VO: Last time on The Amazing Crossover Race. The teams visited Cairo, Egypt as they heated up for some fun in the sun. Speaking of heat, AND after nine gruesome legs, the Bowsers finally snagged first place and a bypass ticket. Some of the teams cracked under pressure while a few of them cracked me up. (Coughs) Derpy. But alas, our fair maidens: Peach and Daisy AKA The Princesses had an intense falling out over a little argument, and after they made up, it was game over for those two. Discord and Fluttershy appear. Discord: So which team will be getting a game over today? Your guess is as good as mine, but stay tuned because it is time for.. The Amazing Crossover Race! With a quick snap, the intro starts up again. (Intro over) Episode 10: If you can't stand the heat.. Discord: Welcome back to Cairo, Egypt as we are about to depart from here. Yesterday's winners from the previous leg are first to grab the first travel tip. The Bowsers step up to the cloudbox. (Interview: Bowsers) Bowser: First place. This is where we are going to stay for the whole race. Bowser Jr: Especially with this bypass ticket, we will be unstoppable. Bowser pressed the button and a tip comes out. Bowser: Ride a camel to the airport and fly to *gasps* our homeworld! An image of Bowser's World is shown. Discord: Bowser's World AKA the place where there is a whole lot of lava. This place is also volcano themed where there are lava bubbles, bone coasters, spike balls, and did I also mention lava. Lucky for the teams, they won't endure any of those harmful things. Fluttershy: Well that's a relief. Discord: The teams will take one airship flight here and find the next cloudbox located outside the fortress. They get on their camel and head off. Bowser: To the airship, where my homeworld awaits. Pan to the Mario Bros. and Wonderbolts on a camel. Spitfire: You two are still fine after your ladies left? Mario: Yep! We were shocked at first but we are going to be alright. Luigi: Just because they're gone, doesn't mean we're going down without a fight. Soarin: Wow! You guys have got a real fighting spirit. Mario: Thanks, so do you. Pan back to the next two teams. Trixie: Is she still listening to music on those? Octavia: Yeah, despite her not talking, we can still work as a team. Gilda: Can she even say anything? Vinyl shook her head no. Trixie: It's gonna be a long ride. Octavia: I pretty much got used to it. The Pen Pals and Gamers are riding together. Sweetie Belle: So you two formed an alliance with the Schoolgirls? Twilight: Of course! The thing we both had in common was that we are both smart teams. Sunset: Despite the fact that they got penalized in the previous leg. Button: I'm sure they can recover from that. Twilight: I'm just surprised you two are still here. I thought you two would've been eliminated earlier, but you two are getting better. Sweetie Belle: Aww, thanks! Cut back to the next two teams. Pinkie Pie: Ooh, I spy with my little eye something that is yellow. Scootaloo: Ooh, the sun! Pinkie Pie: You got it. Rainbow Dash is already getting bored from this. (Interview: Pegasisters) Rainbow Dash: You know, traveling through Egypt on a camel with another one of the teams? Yeah, that's looking pretty good about now. Scootaloo: Are you not having fun with Pinkie Pie? Rainbow Dash: I didn't say that, but I never said it was a bad choice. Cut back to the next two teams. Spike however, is riding on the tail. Rarity: Spike, you okay back there? Spike: Just hanging in there. Hoping it doesn't go number three. Wario: I don't even want to know what number three is and I certainly don't want to see it. Waluigi: Ditto! Move back to the next two teams. Paratroopa: 12th place baby! Apple Bloom: You guys are lucky. We came behind you two. Koopa: Did something happen? Applejack: Has a little water trouble, but we'll be fine. Paratroopa: Hope so, you two have been tanking lately just like us. No offense. Applejack: None taken there sugarcube. Cut back to the Schoolgirls and the Young Princesses riding. (Interview: Schoolgirls) Ringo: Starting out in the bottom three was not our best placement. We really need to step it up. Raffina: Yeah, there were a few times we got below tenth. Ringo: When did that happen? Raffina: There were some legs we recently came in 13th, 12th, and 15th just yesterday. Ringo: That's all in the past, we just need to stay focused and maybe we can turn this game around and get back in the top 10 or top five at least. Raffina: Worth a shot. Baby Daisy: Um, can we ask how you two were you to able to stay in the top five most of the time? Baby Peach: We haven't come in the top ten once. Ringo: Don't be like that, you two just need to hope you come across a challenge you're both good at. Raffina: Just don't give up and you might have a chance. (Interview: Schoolgirls) Raffina: Not to be rude or anything, but they probably won't last long will they? Ringo: Nope, there's a chance they could lose this leg, the next one, or the one after. Raffina: Yeah, but just don't tell them that; they would be devastated. Cut back to the last two teams. Luna: Just great, second last. I can't bear the fact of us nearly getting eliminated. Doctor Whooves: Technically, we're still in the race and caught a lucky break. Luna: Can You believe if we lost? I would never live this day down. Celestia: It's okay Luna. We may be starting from the bottom, but on the bright side, all the teams get to be on the same flight. Isn't that a little better? Luna: *sighs* You're right. I'm sorry! Celestia: We make a great team. Cut to the airship where more than half of the teams are already waiting. Bowser and Bowser Jr. find the Sneaky Twins. Bowser Jr: Well, are those annoying Siblings gone yet? Wario: They should be. Waluigi: We got the top ten so they should've been- The entrance opens as the Siblings and Koopas arrive next. Waluigi: Oops. Bowser grabs both of them: You imbeciles! You only had one job to do. JUST ONE! Wario: We don't know what happened. Waluigi: We sabotaged their bucket, but they're still here. Sweetie Belle eavesdropped on the whole conversation and gasped after hearing this. Sweetie Belle: So it was them the whole time? Bowser: This is your very last chance. You have one team you need to get rid of and this is your very last chance, alright? But if I find out those two are still here after today, I'm gonna skin both of you alive. Sweetie Belle softly giggled after he said that. Bowser: Got it? The Twins nodded yes. Unknown to them, Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement too. Sweetie Belle: Now I gotta warn Apple Bloom. Bowser: Now scram! He threw both of them across the room as they somersaulted over the chair, across the chair, then landed on the ground. Sweetie Belle ran to warn her, but she bumped into Scootaloo who was coming her way. Scootaloo: Whoa, slow down Sweetie Belle, what's the rush? Sweetie Belle: I just heard the Twins and those monsters trying to get rid of Apple Bloom and her sister. Scootaloo: What? We should probably warn her about those two. Sweetie Belle: Right, but we should tell her at the next challenge. Scootaloo: Yeah. Fast forward ahead as the airship arrives at World 8 in the Super Mario Bros. universe. The teams exit and look around the place. Luigi: Not the best place we've been to and I still have bad memories of this place. Baby Peach: Ow! Stepped on a hot coal. (She hopped on one leg blowing on her foot until she bumped into Bowser Jr. They both fell over as the bypass ticket got knocked out of him and blew off into the wind. It landed in the hot lava as it burned a few seconds later.) Bowser: Get off my son, and why are you two still here? You two should have been eliminated already. Baby Peach: Just lucky I guess. That's a question that keeps popping in my mind. Bowser: Will you just get out of our way? We don't need you interfering with us. Baby Daisy: You big meanie! (Interview: Young Princesses) Baby Peach: You know, I don't think we could trust those guys. Baby Daisy: Yeah. They seem kinda mean. Pretty soon, all the teams race to the outside of the tower where the cloudbox is located. Mario: There's the cloudbox. They press the button and they get the next travel tip. Luigi: (reads) It's a do it yourself challenge: Tower Power. Mario: (reads on) Whoever didn't gather cups of water in Egypt, has to navigate this tall tower. Discord appears inside the tower: Now this would be the time for the loners to endure another strenuous challenge. They need to jump from platform to platform to reach the door at the top of the tower. If they hit a fire bar, lava, an enemy, or get squash by the wall, then they have to start over from the beginning. However, there's a flag at the midpoint, if you die past there, you'll respawn at the checkpoint. Once they reach the top, they'll slide down the pole and meet back up with their partners and go find the next cloudbox. Fluttershy: Before all the loners go inside, take one of these to help you out. (Takes out a bunch of 1-up mushrooms.) Everyone doing the challenge takes one and goes inside the tower. Luna: Want to help me out sister? Celestia: I can't, it's supposed to be one pony for this challenge. I can't help you with this. Luna: *sighs* Very well then. (The door closes to the tower.) Button: I think I've seen this somewhere before. Mario: I might have done this before. Twilight: Does anyone know what those green mushrooms were for? Paratroopa: I'm not sure, but this won't be so hard. We can do this backwards with our eyes closed. (Walks backward until he reached the edge and fell off into the lava.) AAAAHHHHH! BURNING! Most of the players scream or look away. Soarin: Dude! Paratroopa: *laughs* What man? Raffina: What the? Weren't you just over here burning in lava? Paratroopa: Yeah but check it out, I've got unlimited lives. Twilight: That's it! Those green mushrooms revive us if we die. Raffina: And it gives us as many tries as we want. Paratroopa ran off the edge again on purpose laughing until he hits the lava again: OW! AAAHHH! IT BURNS! YAAAAHHHHH! Applejack: Would you knock it off already? Paratroopa respawns behind them: I'm back! Rainbow Dash: Would you cut that out? It's not funny. Rarity: Well knowing that we won't die in here, let's get moving. Button: Isn't there supposed to be power ups we should use? Twilight: It says we can't get any power ups on the tip. Soarin: That's okay. We can still do this without any the old fashioned way. (Jumps on the ledge.) See? It's easy as- YOW! (A bar of fire snuck up behind him and burned his tail.) Great, I gotta start over again. (Disappeared back to the start.) Rarity: And he had the right to call this a challenge. Meanwhile outside the tower, some players kept themselves occupied. Some of them are relaxing and reclining, a few of them read, some of them skip stones, and some are playing games like tag and hide and seek. Apple Bloom gets pulled over behind a rock. Apple Bloom: What do you two want? Sweetie Belle: It's very important. Scootaloo: Sweetie Belle told me that the twins have been sabotaging you and your sister the whole time. Apple Bloom: Ah know that, but they had that comin'. Sweetie Belle: What did you do to make them target you two. Apple Bloom: First, we used the redo on them at the falls, then ah got both of them pummeled by an angry Wiggler in Maple Treeway. Scootaloo: You got them beat up by a Wiggler? That was hilarious. Spike found their hiding spot: Uh don't you all know how to play hide and seek? You're all supposed to find separate hiding spots. (Cut back inside the tower) Twilight: Those platforms move in different patterns and there are different sizes. Raffina: Let's figure it out together. You keep track of the time it appears, and I'll let us know when to jump. Baby Peach(struggling): Um, a little help? A hand appears in front her. Mario: Need some help? She grabs his hand and gets up on the next platform. Baby Peach: Thanks! Paratroopa: Almost halfway through and not even a scratch. That was until the moving platforms squished him flat and he disappeared back to start. Luna: This has got to be one of the dangerous challenges that we are doing. (A fire bar burns her tail and she gets sent back to start too.) Wario has a shell in his hand he sneaks behind the orange earth pony until... Applejack: What are you doing? Wario(paused): Uhhh, is this yours? Applejack: No and don't even think about doing what it is you're about to do. Wario: Yeah right, what are you gonna do about it? Rainbow Dash: How about this? Watch out, there's someone falling from the sky. Wario(scoffs): Yeah, like I'm really gonna buy- He gets cut off by Paratroopa falling onto him. Applejack: That'll keep him unconscious for awhile. Rainbow Dash: Wanna race to the top? Applejack: You're on, but you can't use your wings. Rainbow Dash: *sighs* Fine. A little bit later, the door to the top of the tower opens up. Bowser: I knew I would make it first. It's one of the perks of knowing that place inside and out. (Slides down the pole and met up with his partner.) Bowser Jr: Alright! Still in first. Bowser: Yeah, so let's leave these losers. Both of them leave. Two more people reach the exit next. Mario: I almost forgot how hard that tower was. Pinkie Pie: I didn't, but it sure was tricky. Mario: Let's get back to our partners. You can go first if you want. (Back in the tower) Twilight: I just noticed that if we stand here, we won't get squashed by the wall. Raffina: If we also time the jump just right, we can also avoid those fire bars circling the platform ahead of us. Twilight: That could work. Two more players finish up. Rainbow Dash: Nice try cowgirl, but I think I beat you. Applejack: It ain't completely a win if we don't reach the finish line. Rainbow Dash: May the best pony win. Meanwhile, the current frontrunning team is already at the next cloudbox. Bowser: We got first place previously, but it's time for a second victory. Bowser Jr: Right after this challenge. (Presses the button and a tip comes out.) It's a duo challenge, for this challenge, teams will be walking on- Discord from a distance: FIRE! Technically, it's hot coals. (We see Discord on the hot coals) For this intense duo challenge, teams will be walking barefoot on hot coals while one carries their partner across. One teammate wears a dress, Oh that burns. The other wears a reef of leaves around their neck. Man this hurts. It's a big test of endurance (both custom made clothes catch fire and Discord hops on the coals) and if either of them catch on fire it's back to the start. YEOOOW! He gets off the coals as they clothes disintegrate into ashes. Discord: Once they reach the end, they'll race on foot or hoof to the castle where it's also today's finish line. As usual, the last team to make it here, will be eliminated from the race. Great, now I'm going to need to get my feet done. Bowser: Lucky for us, we don't have to do this challenge. Give him the ticket son. Bowser Jr: Already got it and- Huh? Wait, I don't have it. It must slipped off and fell somewhere. Discord: No ticket, no skip it. Guess you gotta do the challenge. (Interview: Bowsers) Bowser Jr: Of all the rotten luck, our little ticket to domination got lost. Bowser: Not to worry, we're still ahead of everyone. No way they're going to catch us. Button reaches the halfway point and bumps into someone else. Button: Sorry about that! Are you alright? Rarity: Why of course I am. As long as I don't get hit by a fireball. Button: Oh it's only you. Rarity: So are you enjoying the race so far? Especially since my sister is your teammate. Button: Yeah, but are you going to- Rarity: Of course I'll be alright. Besides, I have Spike helping me out throughout the race. Button: Good luck to you two! Rarity: Same to you! They both reach the top of the tower and slide down the pole. Five more players come out behind them and follow them. Wario begins regaining his vision: Huh? What happened? Where is everybody? Wait! If it's too quiet in here, then I must be far behind! (He quickly tries catching up to the other teams.) Luna: I've been hit so many times, I lost track of how much time I have been here. *gasps* There's no way I'm in last. I gotta get a move on. The Bowsers are working on the second challenge with Bowser wearing the leaves and his son wearing the dress. Bowser Jr: This is so humiliating! Bowser: Not to worry, we're making good progress. Bowser Jr: Yeah and besides, those coals won't be a problem anyway. Just then, one of the embers landed on his leaves and catches on fire. Bowser: These coals are a problem now! My reef IS ON FIRE! He runs right back to the start and does all he can to put out the fire. Cheese Sandwich is carrying Pinkie through the coals as he tries not to catch either of the outfits on fire. Pinkie Pie: Just think of the time you have had a massive brain freeze after having a large sundae. That'll certainly give you a chill. Cheese Sandwich: Keep going, I think it's working. (Interview: Party Ponies) Pinkie Pie: It's a little strategy for ourselves. Cheese Sandwich: What we're doing is just thinking about cold thoughts which will take our minds of the burning sensation of the coals. Pinkie: It worked! We're in first place! We better get going to the finish line. Cheese Sandwich: Right behind you. Oh, I really want to stick my hooves in a cold bathtub right about now. (Cut back to the start of the second challenge.) Raffina: Look at this, we're both wearing the same outfits. Twilight: Hey you're right. Although the coals seem to be a bit of a tough challenge. Raffina: That won't be a problem. Just ignore the burning sensation of the coals and we'll finish in no time. Twilight: I guess we can do that. Rainbow Dash: There's no way I am wearing the dress. Scootaloo: Figures. Apple Bloom: Well ah guess we're both wearing the same dresses. Scootaloo: And to have our sisters carry us through hit coals. Apple Bloom: As long as we don't get burned. Cut back to the first challenge where Wario finally finished up the first challenge. Wario: Those two siblings outsmarted me. We gotta hurry up and catch them. Waluigi: There's no way we're done with those two. Celestia: Luna, where are you? (Tower interior) Luna(struggling): Almost there. (Reaches the exit, and slides down the pole.) That was exhausting but I guess I didn't help after all. Celestia: Excuse me, but you have been in there for almost an hour. Especially since you asked me for help at the very beginning. Luna: Can you blame me for at least trying? It's not like you could have done any better. Celestia: Your rage is getting out of hand and I am so close to leaving. Luna: What was that? Rage? Celestia: You heard me, ever since the previous leg, you are starting to become a mad, raging, psychotic bull! Luna: Don't call me a bull just cause you couldn't help me, and you better not use that Royal Canterlot voice at me! Celestia: Whatever, and you better not use it on me either! Discord VO: As our last place royal sisters get even more ticked off than usual. The remaining teams begin the second challenge. Well, majority of them anyway. (Cut to the twins walking out of breath.) Wario: This is the last time those siblings mess with us. Waluigi: Not to mention that rainbow pegasus fooled you. Wario: She just became one of our targets now. Waluigi: And those Bowsers will kill us if we don't hurry up. Wario: We better get a move on now! (Meanwhile, the remaining teams prepare for the next challenge.) Octavia: I'll wear the dress. Will you mind carrying me? Vinyl nodded yes. Gilda: I am definitely not wearing the dress. Trixie: Oh and you expect me to wear it? Gilda: You said it, not me. No take backs! Trixie: Great. Sweetie Belle is seen wearing the dress: How do I look in this dress? Button: It may not be a real one, but it is beautiful. Rarity is levitating the dress as Spike gets nervous. Spike: I can't wear the dress. It too girly and everyone in Ponyville will be seeing this. Rarity: Well if I wear it, then you're going to carry ME on hot coals. Spike: I know but I can't wear the dress. All the dragons in the dragon lands will make fun of me if they knew about this. (Grabs the veil and gets serious) Let's do this! Rarity: I wonder if I can this for my next model. Mario: Flip a coin? Call it! (Tosses the coin in air) Heads. Luigi: Let it hit the ground. The coin lands on the ground revealing heads. Mario: It's heads, better get the dress on. Luigi shrugs: That'll be alright. Let's never mention this ever, agreed? Cut to the castle where Discord and Fluttershy are waiting. One of the teams makes it to the finish line. Discord: Surprise Party Ponies, you're today's winners! Pinkie Pie: Alright, we won! Cheese Sandwich: I could hug and kiss you right now. Pinkie: When we get married. Discord: Ahh, I love weddings. Fluttershy: So do I. The Bowsers prepare to run again. Bowsers: Outta the way losers! (Pass the Siblings and Pegasisters, but run back as the dress catches on fire.) Rainbow Dash: Those guys give you trouble too? Applejack: Them and those Sneaky Twins. Apple Bloom told me. Apple Bloom: Right after Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle told when you were doing the first challenge. Rainbow Dash: That explains why you were not in the top ten recently. No offense. Applejack: None taken, but at least we finished the challenge. Bowser Jr: Hey you pesky ponies, move it or lose it right now! Rainbow Dash: Run for it! Both of the teams are running to the finish line while the Bowsers gain on them. Bowser: Just a few more seconds and we'll dominate this race. Applejack: Almost there! The finish line is in view as the Bowsers pass both teams. All of a sudden, Bowser trips over a rock and he and son fall to the ground just mere seconds away from the finish line. The Apple Siblings and Pegasisters pass them and reach the finish line. Discord: Siblings, Sisters, you tie for second place, again. Rainbow Dash: Again? Applejack: Who got first this time? Fluttershy: Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich. Rainbow Dash: That's alright, we'll do better next time. The Bowsers reach the finish line with ticked off looks. Discord: Bowsers, it seems like you two take... fourth. (Interview: Bowsers) Bowser Jr: Nooo, we were so close! We didn't get the top three. This has got to be the worst day of our lives. Bowser: Calm yourself son, it was those twins that didn't their jobs. Bowser Jr: Of course, those two boneheads loused it up. From now on, it's only us two. Koopa is wearing the dress around his neck Koopa: How do I look? Paratroopa: Classic, and unusual. Koopa: It's better wearing it like this. I don't look humiliated at all. (We see some of the teams walking on the coals. Soarin hops on the coals while carrying his partner. Spike carries Rarity while slowly walking on coals. Button carries Sweetie Belle, Vinyl doesn't mind the coals as she walks through the coals not minding the heat sensation. Gilda carries Trixie over her shoulder, and Baby Peach clutches her sister while being carried.) Derpy: Promise me you won't drop me? Doctor Whooves: Promise! Can you believe people do this for money? (Interview: Young Princesses) Baby Daisy: There's one thing that's more dangerous than walking on coals. Baby Peach: Being dropped on them. I think it's better to slowly and carefully. That way I don't get burned. The Pen Pals and Schoolgirls race to the finish line at a medium pace. They keep on going until they reach the finish line. Discord: Fifth and sixth place. Raffina: That was a great recovery we made. Sunset: I'll say. This alliance is working better than we thought. Another team reaches the finish line. Discord: Seventh! Soarin: We better step up our game. Spitfire: That's what I've been thinking too. The Gamers reach the finish line before the Gem Collectors arrive. Fluttershy: Eighth place and Ninth. The Twins start the second challenge where Wario wears the veil and Waluigi wearing the dress. One of the embers flies onto Wario's veil lighting it in flames. Waluigi: Ah! Fire! Wario rushes back to start and rolls wildly on the ground trying to put out the fire. Cut back to the finish as another team makes it to the finish line. Gilda: I would worry more about the flames and burns, but I'm more entertaining like that. Discord: Tenth. Mario and Luigi get to the finish line next. Discord: And the Bros take eleventh. The Young Princesses get there next while Baby Peach still whimpers. A finger touches her mouth signaling her to shush. Discord: 12th-aroni. The next three teams get to the finish line as Discord points out their positions. Discord: 13th. Musicians. 14th. Scientists. 15th. Koopas. The Sneaky Twins arrive and they are not happy. Discord: 16th place. Wario(sarcastically): Well that's just perfect. Bowser: Well you know what is not? Not getting first a second time. Bowser Jr: Because of you two buffoons, we got fourth place. Waluigi: Don't blame us, they must have outsmarted us. Bowser: Excuses, Excuses. It's obvious you two are NOT cut out for this. Consider this alliance officially OVER! (He and his son walk off.) Bowser Jr.: From now on, you're on your own. Wario: Fine, you think we care about that dumb alliance of yours? Well we don't. Waluigi: Yeah, good riddance. We even wanted to sabotage the other teams and that's how you repay us? Mario(angry tone): What did you just say? It reveals all the other teams glaring at the twins angrily. Waluigi: Oops! Discord: Guess this place isn't the only thing that's heating up because that was a sick burn. Get it? Hours pass by and Celestia and Luna are finally working on the second challenge. Luna is wearing the dress and Celestia wears the leaves. Luna:You know you could walk a little bit faster. Celestia: You shouldn't talk like that to somepony that will drop you onto hot coals. Luna: Do that and I'll tell everyone your little issue in the newspaper. The Pen Pals listen to that ranting from a distance. Celestia(off-screen): DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING THERE!!!! Sunset: Wow, I've never seen them act like this. Twilight: I know, I never actually seen Celestia and Luna arguing. Sunset: Twilight, about before, do you think I should probably talk to her and apologize for what I've done in the past. Twilight: Give it some time. There will be a chance that she'll forgive you. You gotta find the right moment to do so. Well, I'm going to turn in for the night and not listen to all of that. Good night. Sunset: Night. Ringo approaches her. Ringo: You seem pretty down. Is something wrong? Sunset: Do you know the feeling when you've done bad things in the past and need to apologize? Ringo: Well I do know that feeling. I suggest that you better give it some time. Find the right words to say, and don't be afraid. If you ever need anything else, come find us. We can help you resolve your problems(Gets back up.) We should probably turn in for the night, shouldn't we? Sunset: I guess so. Ringo: See ya tomorrow! The Royal Sisters step on the finish line. Fluttershy: Celestia, Luna I'm sorry, but you two are the last team to arrive. Luna: Unbelievable! This is the worst day ever! Celestia: We're eliminated from the race? Fine then, because Luna, I'm eliminating you from my life. Luna: Oh so you're breaking up our friendship live on National Television? Is that it? Discord: Technically it's international. We're very popular on TV, but I should probably tell you that- Luna: You can't break up our friendship if I don't want to be part of it anymore. Discord: There's just one little thing- Celestia: FINE! Because I- (Fluttershy comes between them.) Fluttershy: IT'S A NON-ELIMINATION ROUND! (Normal voice) Sorry about that, but you still get to race. They turn their backs to each other in a huff. Celestia: Fine! Luna: Fine! Celestia: Fine! Luna: Fine! Celestia: Fine! Luna: Fine! Discord: All the teams survive today, but one won't be so lucky next time. What challenges await the teams next time? You'll just have to tune in for more of... The Amazing Crossover Race! Luna: Fine! (END)
