Chapter 77- Pop Quiz Time

“Every creature, welcome to the Reformed Unicorn Group quiz!” Twilight Sparkle welcomed every creature to this very special game on the show, “I will be asking them questions, ranging far and wide and everything in-between! Our contestants from the R.U.G. have to buzz in and say the correct answer!”

“Twilight is here as our official judge, though I think we all know why she’s here with us today,” Starlight hinted, causing the others to snicker at what she was implying. Twilight huffed and rolled her eyes.

“If Twilight was a contestant, she would beat us all by a good score,” Sunset chuckled.

“I Pinkie Promise that I only came here to be your judge,” Twilight’s eye twitched.

“So it has nothing to do with you practically begging us to be your judge on this week’s game?” Sunset asked rhetorically.

“Let’s begin this quiz before somepony says something they’re going to regret,” Twilight said through gritted teeth. The others simply nodded, trying their best to hold back they’re laughter. They placed their hooves on their individual buzzers. Twilight pulled out the first question card whilst everypony else listened intently.

“What is the name of the sacred yak holiday which made Pinkie Pie the official Friendship Ambassador to the Yaks?” Twilight read the first question. There was a short pause for whilst everypony thought hard until Starlight buzzed in first.

“Is it called Yickslurbertfest?” Starlight said, trying to pronounce it the best way she can. Twilight dinged a bell next to her.

“That is correct Starlight!” Twilight clapped her hooves together.

“You would not believe how many times Pinkie Pie said, ‘oh my gosh’ when she got the invitation,” Starlight groaned, “It was loud enough to hear from my room.”

Twilight used her magic to change to scoreboard to show that Starlight received a point. She then pulled out the next question card from her pile.

“What is the name of the annual marathon that happens in Whitetail Woods, marking the start of Autumn when the leaves fall?” This time, it was Sunset to buzzed in to give her answer.

The Running of the Leaves,” Sunset answered smoothly, “It was fun to commentate it when it was on.” Twilight ran her bell with a smile and changed the score.

“All right, next question,” Twilight told the R.U.G. to get ready, “According to the legends from the Pillars, what is the name of a group of elite guard ponies that Rockhoof wanted to be a part of?” This time, it was Tempest who buzzed in.

“One of my favourite legends from the Pillars, it was called the Mighty Helm,” Tempest said proudly, earning a ring from Twilight’s bell as she gave the correct answer. Trixie was now the only one left to score and was now in full game mode.

“What is the name of the Equestria-famous rollercoaster in Las Pegasus that the Wonderbolts are known to go on?” Trixie finally had her chance and buzzed in quickly.

The Wild Blue Yonder!” Trixie burst out, “I know Las Pegasus like the back of my hoof! If you want to be the biggest performer in Equestria, you have to make it big there.” Twilight dinged her bell and changed the scoreboard so every contestant was level.

“Here is a multiple answer question for you all to have a go at,” Twilight told them, “You get one point for each correct answer, and you can buzz in whenever you want.” The group gave a nod of understanding and got ready for the question.

“Can you give me as many steps as you can for Winter Wrap Up in Ponyville? You don’t need to give them in order,” Twilight reassured. Tempest was the first to buzz in.

Cut the ice at Saddle Lake equally and waking up the animals from hibernation,” Tempest said two correct answers. Trixie was the next to buzz in and say her answers.

Bringing back the southern birds from their migration and plough the snow,” Trixie answered clearly. It was then that Sunset answered her part.

The pegasi creates a twister to clear the snow and you also have to make nests for the arriving birds,” Sunset added her own part.

You need to water the grass and spread the seeds ready for harvest in the autumn,” Sunset finished off the list.

“And that’s two points each!” Twilight clapped her hooves together, “That is good! That means we’re going to need more questions!” She pulled out some more questions, as well as a timer, “Who answers the most questions in the last thirty seconds will be the winner. Good luck contestants!” She set the timer, which started ticking away.

“What is the name of Flim and Flam’s contraption that was used during Cider Season?”

The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy Six-Thousand,” Tempest answered quickly.

“What was Celestia’s paly used to celebrate?”

Princess Celestia’s Ones-Versary when she first raised the sun,” Sunset answered next.

“What is the Wonderbolts’ motto?”

Altius volantis, Soaring Higher,” Trixie answered rapidly.

“What is the name of the festival marking the defeat and reunion of the Royal Sisters?”
"The Summer Sun Celebration,” Tempest answered.

“What is the of the land that Chancellor Puddinghead wanted to name?”

Earth!” Starlight answered.

“What is the name of castle in the Everfree Forest that Celestia and Luna once lived?”

The Castle of the Two Sisters!” Starlight answered again, just in time as the timer rang loudly, signally that thirty seconds had gone.

“Congratulations, Starlight! You are the game’s winner!” Twilight congratulated her friend, who punched the air triumphantly.

“Thank you for joining us in the game, Twilight,” Tempest thanked, “And I hope you had fun answering the questions as well. We hope to see you all again soon, but from the studio, it’s good bye from all of us from the R.U.G.”
