//------------------------------// // And then there were three // Story: Poker night at the inventory 3 // by chrisharte97 //------------------------------// Now there is just the player, Rainbow Dash, and Demoman left in the poker tournament. As GLaDOS passed the players their cards, Rainbow Dash and Demoman had their blinds, and the player called Demoman's blind. "So Rainbow Dash, what is line of work?" Demoman asked Rainbow Dash kindly. "Well my job is to be the captain of the Ponyville weather ponies," Rainbow Dash replied as she made her bet, "But when Equestria is in great danger, me and my friends as the Elements of Harmony we have to defeat our enemies like Queen Chrysalis or King Sombra, and it's not always easy for us." "What are the difficulties?" Demoman asked her. "The problems are that Chrysalis has a massive army of Changelings and they can take the form of anypony they choose," Rainbow Dash replied, "And King Sombra is patient, clever, and his plans can easily work out as plan due to the fact that he is smarter than all the enemies that me and my friends had ever faced before." "This Queen Chrysalis lassie sounds like the bloody spies from the Blu team," Demoman said as he raised his bet, "Me and the rest of my team get over the edge when there are enemy spies around us." GLaDOS then pulled out the king of spades, a nine of hearts, and an Ace of hearts as the player called Demoman's bet. "Oh sweet Celestia, that's a lot of money," Rainbow Dash said as started to think about her next move, "I'll fold." "I call," Demoman said as he put the last of the chips he had into the pot. The player raised his amount into the pot, making a side pot as he and Demoman revealed their cards with the player having a pair of Aces while Demoman having the king of diamonds and the seven of clubs. "Ah crap," Demoman blurted as he and the player watch as GLaDOS pulled out the ten of spades. The two waited for the next card that will decide who gets that pot and GLaDOS pulled out... the ten of hearts. "Argh," Demoman exclaimed. "The Demoman has, Two Pair..." GLaDOS said to them, "...The player has, a Full House, on the side pot: the player wins." "Of course you won with that hand, even Applejack could have won with that hand," Rainbow Dash said to the player with jealously in her eyes. "And on the main pot: the player wins the hand," GLaDOS continued, "The Demoman has been eliminated from the tournament." "Well, me team is not going to be happy about this when I tell them," Demoman said as he left the poker table and walk towards the bar to have a drink. "Well it's just you and me now huh?" Rainbow Dash Exclaimed to the player as GLaDOS passed her and the player each two new cards and placed their blinds into the pot. "You know after this tournament, we could go on an adventure," Rainbow Dash suggested to the player. "After the tournament, the player will be escorted home by the Inventory's security service," GLaDOS said to her. "Are you sure GLaDOS?" Rainbow Dash asked the computer as she called on the players amount of chips, "Because I actually found a map in one of Daring Do's book's." "The owner would frown on designating the player," replied GLaDOS. "Well that's a shame," Rainbow Dash sighed as the player raised Rainbow's amount, "Hmm, I think I'll check on this one." GLaDOS then pulled out the queen of diamonds, the Ace of clubs, and the eight of clubs. "I'll raise that bet," Rainbow Dash said as she raised her amount into the pot and the player called her bet. The two remaining players revealed their cards with Rainbow Dash having the king of spades and the three of hearts while the player had the queen of spades and the nine of hearts. "You gotta be kidding me!" Rainbow Dash said furiously as the two of them watch GLaDOS pull out the queen of hearts. They waited for the card that choose who would this tournament and GLaDOS finally pulls out... the two of spades. "Miss Dash has: King High..." GLaDOS said, "And the player has: Three of a kind, the player wins the hand." "The blinds are now eight hundred and sixteen hundred," GLaDOS continued as she passed the two players each two new cards and they placed their blinds into the pot. The player raised the amount of chips Rainbow Dash put into the pot. "I fold," Rainbow Dash said as she slid her cards away from her. "The player wins the hand," GLaDOS said as the player took all the chips in the pot and GLaDOS passed the player and Rainbow Dash each another two new cards. "I'm going to go all in," Rainbow Dash said as he placed all her remaining chips into the pot. The player called that bet as he placed some of his chips into the pot. The two players again revealed their cards with the player having the king of diamonds and the Ace of spades while Rainbow had a pair of eights. "Oh yeah," Rainbow Dash said to herself as GLaDOS pulled out the king of spades, the Ace of hearts, and the two of diamonds. "Well, this has turned from bad to worse now," Rainbow exclaimed as she saw GLaDOS pull out the three of hearts. The final card that GLaDOS pulled was... the five of diamonds. "Miss Dash has: a Pair of eights..." GLaDOS said to the two players, "...And the player has: Two Pair, the player wins the hand. Reginald came up to the two players and said, "With that final victory, the player wins the tournament!" "I must admit that was a great game, pal," Rainbow Dash said as she held out her right hoof and the player held out his hand and shook Rainbow's hoof. The End.
