Drip... Drip... Drip... Drip....
'Owww... My bucking head... Oh Celestia's left flank...'
"RUBY!! SHUT OFF THE WATER!! MOMMY HAS A HANGOVER!!"
Drip... Drip... Drip...
"RUBY! RUBY!... Ruby?..."
The purple earth pony opened her eyes, only to see darkness. She brushed her fluid like mane out from her face, only to see more darkness. In a panick she tried to get up, only to hit her head on something.
Laying with her back to the ground in a very uncomfortable position for a pony, she used her front hooves to feel around. To her sides, walls. Her head rested on the wall behind her as her legs pushed on the wall in front of her.
'I'm in a box' she thought, 'Great, Berry Punch, what have you gotten yourself into this time.'
She lifted her right hind leg and bucked the wall as well as she could, crammed in a box. She bucked as hard as she could, two more times before the wall came loose and fell to the ground outside.
It took about a third of a second to hit the ground, and using that information, she figured thet she was susspended in the air. With caution, Punch climbed down to the ground, only to find herself in yet another unfamilier environment.
The room was dark and humid with the only light coming from a desk lamp, and a running movie projector. Berry Punch first went up to to the desk to find that the lamp shining onto a film. Being sober enough to put two and two together, she grabbed the film in her mouth, and put it in the projector. The projector played a film on the opposite wall, portraying a mare in full cloak, wearig a rabbit mask to hide who she was. Berry froze at this sight. She had heard the rumors, but never believed them... Until the pony on wall spoke.
"Hello Ms. Punch, i have a little challenge for you." The voice was scrambled and warped making it impossible to identify. "You have been destroying yourself from the inside out for the past few years, not even stopping to think of how it would effect anypony else. Whenever disaster struck, you ran and didn't even stop to lend a helping hoof. Now here is my proposition, these chambers are filled with dangers that will test you physically, and mentally. You must reach the end, saving the pony who matters the most in the proccess. The only rule is to survive. All this is, is a fair game..."
Berry felt a shiver down to her tail as the film came to a close. If she wanted to survive, then she would have to play this twisted game...
