Also, Enigma is in one of their stories, as well! Vinyl knocked on the door, growing increasingly frustrated. "Come on, E! It wasn't that bad!"
"No!" She could imagine him hiding underneath the sheets of the bed, hugging a plush of some famous pony. "I made a fool of myself in front of a bunch of ponies I don't even know!”
Vinyl rolled her eyes, pushing the door open with a hoof. “Well, things aren't going to change just because you're hiding underneath a blanket.” She trotted over to the bed, lifting the quilt and staring down at his face.
He looked back up at her, eyes wide in shock. In his forehooves, he held a white unicorn plushie.
Blushing vividly, the DJ pointed a shaky hoof at the doll. “ ... is ... is that ... what I think it is?”
Indeed it was. She gently took it out of his grasp, examining the wild blue mane and the iconic purple shades. It was a plushie of herself, precise down to the positioning of her cutie mark. Thank Celestia and Luna that they knew better than to include ... certain aspects.
A sigh brought her out of her thoughts. Looking down, she saw that her friend was covering his face with his hooves. “Yeah, I have a plush of you. Go ahead, laugh it up.”
Vinyl shook her head, a small smile on her face. Same old E. Never one to have a high self-esteem. She carefully placed the plush back in his embrace, gently nuzzling his cheek. She whispered to herself, gazing down on him with caring eyes. “You silly colt.” She stood up, her smile turning into a playful grin. “Just so you know, you got more votes than Blueblood.” She turned to leave, but a splash of color caught her eyes and made her heart leap to her throat.
There, sitting on the dresser right next to the door, was a yellow plushie, garbed in a green dress. She quickly left, feeling as though the cyan eyes were silently mocking her.
Fluttershy sat between the two competitors, surprised that they were not spouting out hurtful words at her. The white stallion was quietly sipping on a hay smoothie, apparently not even caring that it wasn't a fancy beverage. The griffin was eating a rainbow-colored cupcake, idly watching a technicolor pegasus perform tricks above them.
Even though she didn't want to break the serenity of the scene, she gently coughed, drawing the attention of the two royals. “I have the results, if you'd like me to tell you them.”
The stallion held up a hoof, wordlessly asking Fluttershy to wait a bit. He turned towards the griffin, eyes filled with what appeared to be remorse. “I feel like I should apologize, princess. I should have taken your feelings into consideration.”
The griffin royal frowned at him, a slight blush gracing her face. “Don't call me princess. I want to be treated just like anyone else. Why else do you think I came here for flight camp?”
He blinked, staring at her incredulously. “You can't be serious! Why would you want to be treated as a commoner?” He spat out the word with such distaste, Fluttershy felt the need to hide herself.
“That right there's why!” Gilda growled, placing both her taloned claws on the table. “I don't want to be as stuck-up as you and every other royal I've met!”
Fluttershy peeked over the table at the griffin, confused. Then why do you treat ponies like garbage?
Gilda sighed, rubbing the bridge of her beak with her claw. “Just ... just tell us who won. I want to leave all this behind me.”
The timid pegasus squeaked, realizing the attention was back on her and not being prepared for it. “ ... um ... t-the winner is ... G-Gilda ... ”
Gilda smirked, patting the unicorn stallion on the back. “Well, it’s been a pain knowing ya, Blue. Now, if you do mind, I gotta jet!” She flew off, leaving behind a shocked royal and a startled pegasus.
Blueblood shook his head, snapping out of his stupor. “Well that was an undesirable outcome.” With a sigh, he trotted over to a nearby chariot, quickly boarding and heading back to Canterlot.
Fluttershy sat at the table, alone. Glancing around to make sure she was alone, she pulled a picture out of her saddlebag. She smiled softly, gently tracing the cheek of the blue stallion.
Meanwhile, a gray pegasus was trying to convince a chestnut stallion to open a watch. "Really, Ditzy! What do I need to open a pocket watch for?"
Ditzy landed in front of the earth pony, crossed eyes pleading. "Please! Strange things are going on, and we need the Doctor!"
He scoffed, moving to pass her. "I'm not a doctor, I'm a watchmaker! Go look in the hospital if you need a doctor!"
Ditzy sighed, lowering her head in defeat. Suddenly, an idea came to her. "That's right! You're a watchmaker, Time Turner! You also fix them, and this watch is broken!" She flew in front of him, holding the timepiece out to him once more. "Please, only you know how to fix this!"
Turner glanced from Ditzy to the watch and back. With a small sigh, he gently took the timepiece. "Curse those beautiful eyes of yours." He trotted off, the now-blushing pegasus following close behind him.
Enigma sat up, pulling his weighted blanket off his body. He stretched gently, getting up and walking over to the dresser, placing his Vinyl plushie next to the other one. "She really is a great friend. I should do something to thank her for letting me stay here." He chuckled, trotting out of the guest bedroom that Vinyl let him use. "She said the soups were down in the basement, if I'm not mistaken." With a sigh, he walked to the basement door, opening it.
He immediately came face-to-face with two stone pegasi. He stood there for a moment, staring at the strange sight, before closing the door. "Nope." He left the building in a sudden fit of terror, rushing to the library to see if he could find any reference material about the statues.
Our plan is coming to fruition. You could have done a better job, though.
Oh, shut up. I did the best I could with what I was given. At least I didn't get caught like Chrysalis did.
That is true, but she also was able to sow the seeds of chaos. You just brought them closer together.
I said shut up! Besides, your agents of chaos did nothing to stop that annoying disc jockey.
For your information, I sent her through those universes to make her more open to doing the rap battles. It's that annoying pegasus's fault for showing up when he did. If he wasn't there, then she would have been putty in our claws and hooves!
Whatever you say, Lord of Catastrophes.
You have one more chance. Do not disappoint me.
Octavia continued on her quest, having paused long enough to eat some snacks, rest and befriend a white, faceless pony in a black suit. It had tried to attack her, but she had swiftly beat it into submission. Now apparently it wanted to follow her.
Octavia sighed, keeping her eyes on the trail. She had to make it to the Castle ruins before something bad happened to Dinky. Now that she had three companions, she hoped that her quest would be that much simpler.
In the trees above, a pair of eyes watched their every move.
The results for this rap battle (at the time of this chapter's publishing) were eight to seventy-four, for Gilda. Enigma got thirty-eight unofficial votes. Big thanks for Shadow King and gordobraveheart for pre-reading! Be sure to read their stories. They deserve more recognition! Also, Enigma is in one of their stories, as well!
You probably won’t know just who the pony is in Fluttershy’s picture (unless you do an extensive amount of research, but that's just silly). That's supposed to be the point. Hopefully, this won’t lead to some sort of hurt feelings for ‘Shy.
The next chapter is going to be the Q&A chapter. This is the last call for questions! Be sure to send them in via Private Messaging! Remember, no matter how silly the question is, it will be answered!
On a different note, there's going to be a bonus chapter later on. So, for those of you who want some non-story-canon rapping, be sure to check that out! And, if you want to be included in the bonus chapter, please send me a private message. I'll explain the specifics there!
And, just because I think it'd be a fun little challenge, I want to see who can guess the next rap battle! (If you're one of my pre-readers, you aren't allowed to play, since you know who they are. 
)
Have a nice day!
Enigma out.~
