//------------------------------// // Episode Four: Duncan-buck Season // Story: Total Drama Equestria // by JusSonic //------------------------------// "This crossover of My Little Pony and Total Drama contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by animated teens or ponies. Do not try any of what you see here at home. Seriously, you could get messed up." -------------------- Chris: Last time, on Total Drama Equestria, I decided to serve the new ponies a bit of a meal from out pal Chef Hatchet, but they don't know that they're in for a big challenge later. They kept on finding statues and Al strikes out with everyone. Heather got a musical number. Big whoop; And Noah and our favorite crazy girls got love interests, one of them is Cody; Sierra not happy. Meanwhile, as our teams, minus some who stayed behind, have a campout while they wait for the challenge, they got the info on the upcoming enemies that can give them nightmares. Pinkie: FOREVER! Chris: Uh, okay? And they compare me as a saint? Not likely! So I got back at them with the return of the Awake-A-Thon which involves singing, history reading, and of course some bit of cheating by Alejandro. That cost him enough to make his team angry at him. Heather told the bum off and Alejandro was eliminated later, followed by Cameron himself. We see Chris in a room, walking as he speaks to the camera, "Our favorite 36 misfits are left and they're about to get a visit from moi in Ponyvillle..." The host stops while standing near something covered by a sheet. "But to be honest, it won't be me in person but what's under this sheet. What will I do to our teams? And who will be the next to go into the Suck-O-Gone? Find out, right here, right now, on...Total...Drama...EQUESTRIA!" Chris exclaims as the camera backs away from him before showing all of Canterlot. ------------ We see an intro like in every seasons of Total Drama as well as 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. This time, the players are doing activities in Equestria with them as ponies. The full intro song of the Total Drama series is played which ended with Celestia and Luna about to look at Twilight's letter but looks annoyed when Chris pops in and takes it, seeing the whole gang in their human forms. ------------ Episode Four: Duncan-buck Season It was another morning in Equestria. Duncan yawns as he came downstairs, ready to have some breakfast. Rarity however pulls him out of the kitchen with her magic, scolding, "Clean up before breakfast, darling." Duncan groans as he heads back upstairs and sees a line. The stallion groans, "Hey, come on. Let me in..." "Sorry, the rules state that we gotta share the bathroom, dude." Geoff said as he motions to the back of the line. "Katie and Sadie are in there." "At the same time?!" ------------ (The girls are cleaning each other off as they speak, unaware that they are now in the confessional) Katie: You saw that new shirt Lyra's wearing? Sadie: I know. I mean, wow! It's like she's some sort of...what's word for it? Katie: Filly-fooling, right! I mean, what was she thinking?! ---------- Duncan grumbles in line while it's his turn for the bathroom. He reluctantly brushes his mane and clean his teeth. The punk pony was preparing to leave... "Ah ah ah; you made a mess." Rarity said, giving the cleaning tools to Duncan, much to his annoyance as he saw the sink area a mess. "Clean it up, darling." "Don't call me darling! And why me?! Everypony else was in here!" Duncan exclaims angrily to Rarity. "The last one in here has to clean up and being the host, it won't be me." Duncan growls in annoyance and cleans up the sink area; A while later, he came downstairs as the other Magical Unicorns are eating. The folk sat down but Rarity frowns at his posture. "Sit up straight, elbows off the table." Rarity said as she straightens Duncan out. The punk pony growls in irritation as he does as she says. "Good. Use the fork and knife, darling." Duncan mumbles as he uses his magic to do just that. Geoff came over with some jam while saying, "Got the jam, dude! Ooops!" The stallion trips and sends the jelly right onto Duncan, getting him dirty. "Duncan! You're dirty! Clean yourself off!" "AHHHHH, BUCK THIS," Duncan screams furiously as he got off, push the table hard off to knock it and everyone else’s food over to the floor then storms out of the kitchen. "Wow, he didn't have to get personal." Courtney remarks dryly at that reaction. ----------- Duncan: (angrily) Argh! I have had enough of this stupid girl place! I want out! Chris, if you're watching, get a tribal switch now! I can't stand it here any longer! At least prison wouldn't be this ridiculous! -------------- Duncan grumbles as he grabs a knife on his way out. Once outside, he grabs a piece of wood and cut a few pieces of it. The punk teenager passes by some ponies whose looks at him oddly but a mean look send them away. Duncan spots Ezekiel leaving Sugarcube Corner with some bag of treats; he call out, "Yo Zeke!" "Gah," Ezekiel yelps startled, "Oh, hey Duncan. Scott sent me to get some food, eh." "Whatever. Are you and your pals annoyed at your new home as it is?" "Nope! Scott likes it and so are the rest of us. We're practically working 24/7 looking for something!" "Oh really? What?" Duncan asks Ezekiel curiously. Before Ezekiel could answer, a zoom is heard, making them and everypony look up to see some sort of Pegasus Royal Guards flying in fast. Any pony in the way quickly moves to avoid the impact like mad. The commotion got the attention of the Mane Six, Ben, Nyx and the TD ponies, especially the Groundin' Earth Ponies who could hear the noise from where they're at at Sweet Apple Acres, causing them all to see what's the commotion's all about. As they watch, the Royal Guards lands along with the carriage that they're pulling. "Huh. A Royal Visitor," Ben asks Twilight puzzled. "I don't know." Twilight said, looking the way as her love. "Princess Celestia didn't send me any messages..." Suddenly the carriage doors are opened as somepony got up. Most of the ponies look confused but the players look shocked as the new pony looks like Chris...except if he's a pony and his cutie mark is money and contact cutie mark. "Hey there," 'Chris' exclaims with an eager look. "Hope you ponies don't mind me stopping by." "Chris," Most of the ponies ask in shock and disbelief. ------------------ Beth: Okay, this is rather strange. Did Chris turn himself into a pony? Or is there something weird going on? ---------------- "So you must be the Chris that the new ponies spoke about." Twilight said as she comes over to introduce herself to 'Chris'. "My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle. And you are?" "I'm Chris McColt." Chris said, making the players look at him in disbelief. "McColt; really," Sam ask dryly and in disbelief. Is Chris for real? ----------- Not really! Because in a room, the real Chris himself is wearing a headset and some devices while looking at a monitor. The Royal Sisters, Discord and Chef are with him as the human host speaks into the headset, saying the same words as the Chris pony who is speaking on the monitor. "That's right! I decided to drop in to see how my players are doing...as well as get to the next part of their stay." Chris said into the headset, making the pony say the same thing. He turns off his headset to speak to the others. "Isn't that robot cool? He is so real life, those ponies don't even know that he is a robot!" "Yes, it's something all right." Luna said with a nod. "And it helps meet Twilight Sparkle's demand to meet you." "Better hope it doesn't blow up." Celestia said to Chris, warning him of the problems that may occurred should something goes wrong. "Relax , I spare no expense...and no budget." Chris chuckles as he turns his headset back on to resume operating the Chris McColt robot from afar. ------------- Back in Equestria, the ponified Chris robot, which we shall call Chris McColt, gave a very odd smile as Twilight blinked. "And how can I help you in this day?" "I'm here to... collect my fellow... citizens for something very special..." "Chris" said, smirking. "You ponies here would like the surprise...KRZT!" The last part did not come from Chris, yet everypony else (save for the TD cast) didn't notice a thing. Twilight said, "Sore throat?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- With Chris, he turned off the headset as he looked over to a curious Chef and a doubtful Celestia and Luna. "Okay, so the robot MAY have a few bugs. I'll fix it up whenever it's time for them to go." Chris quickly turned on the headset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yes, a little bit of one... but I can manage it!" "Chris" gave a big smile. B frowned as he rolled his eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B: Give me an R, give me an O, give me a B; give me a 'Robot'. Because that's EXACTLY what Chris did. He put out a robot to fool everypony. It fooled us for a while, but once we heard that glitch, we knew. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you'll excuse me, I'd like to be alone with my citizens." Chris said. "Sure. We'll leave you be." Twilight nodded as she and the others started to take their leave. As soon as everyone was sure they were out of earshot, Gwen came over and knocked on the robot dome, as "Chris" said, "Don't mind me; that is just my new metal head that I have installed..." "Don't give us that." Gwen frowned. "You sent out a robot just to meet everyone, didn't you?" "Hey, how else was I going to come out and tortu-" "Chris"'s voice came out of the robot before the robot gave Celestia's voice off. "CHRIS!" "I mean... have fun with you all?" "Chris"'s voice chuckled nervously. "That doesn't exactly make the situation better." Brick frowned. The "Chris" robot sighed as he said, "Fine, you made your point. Anyway, let's get down to business. As you guys know, we do have a challenge today." "Was there ever doubt?" Gwen rolled her eyes. "Second... wait! One of you is missing." "Chris" said as he scanned the area. Everyone looked around and did indeed notice that someone WAS missing. "Okay, where's Heather?" Anne Maria frowned. "Isn't she supposed to be our team captain now?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back at the Sparkle Library, Heather was sighing in her sleep as she was holding her stuffed cat. She yawned as she looked at the clock. She yelped as she noticed everything else was empty. "How long was I asleep?" Heather said as she quickly put the stuffed cat back in her bag and gets up, "Honestly, why does nobody wake me when it's breakfast time?!" Heather then ran out the door. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few moments later, Heather came in to Sugar Cube Corner and joined the others as she took a deep breath. "About time," Leshawna said. "Where were you?" "Asleep." Heather said. "You honestly didn't wake me up?" "We didn't know where you were." Leshawna pointed out. Heather shook her head as she turned to the Chris McColt robot. "Can anybody explain the nuts and bolts on that hunk of junk?" "HEY!" Chris frowned. "Oh, hi, Chris; Sent a robot out to torture us?" Heather rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't be surprised." "Ahem!" Chris frowned. "Anyway, as I was saying, as you all know, ALL of you have a VERY uneven number of teams. We are going to change that. Magical Unicorns, I'm going to need SOMEBODY to move to the Groundin' Earth Ponies, just so we have an even number." "No need to tell me twice!" Duncan said as he galloped over to the Earth pony's side. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duncan: Thank you, lord! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Courtney: (sighs) Of course. Of course Duncan decides to move on out. (Smiles) On the bright side, he's only dampering my game, so now I have free reign! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owen: This is awesome! I can't believe we actually have one of my old buddies on this team! It's very good to have Duncan here! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Typical," Gwen and Courtney rolled their eyes. "Second, your challenge," "Chris" coughed. "All four captains, can you step up, please?" Gwen, Scott, B and Heather stepped up as they walked right over. "Chris" then opened his mouth as magic spewed out and four books appeared, one going in each captain's hand. Heather then looked over her book, "How to play the Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two?" "That's what mine says as well." Gwen said as Scott and B nodded. "What's this got to do with anything?" B asked. "Your next challenge... is to play the Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two perfectly, with your teammates filming you doing the performance." Chris said. "You only have two hours to memorize the piece." Gwen, B, Scott and Heather laughed at this. "Are you kidding me?" Scott smiled. "This is going to be a walk in the park!" Gwen said. "Come on, Chris, you got to do better than that." B said as Heather started to walk off. "Well, I better get practicing! Like, I'm afraid I won't be able to do so well!" Heather laughed as the captains left to find a store of instruments to practice the Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two. As soon as they left, "Chris" chuckled as Leshawna noticed. "Somehow, I have a feeling you KNOW something..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike: The minute we hear Chris's maniacal laughter, we KNEW something was up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "They're going to be playing the tune, all right, but what I DIDN'T tell your captains was that come either their practice or performance time, you guys are going to be filming them...WHILE they're being tormented!" "Chris" laughed. "We knew there was a catch." Harold sighed. "What's up?" "Well, here I have this hat. Pick anything from the hat and that's your torture for the captain." "Chris" said, pointing to a nearby hat. Everyone nodded as Duncan, Zoey, Dakota and Dawn picked from the hats... Duncan looked at his thing. "Film your captain practicing, while he is being held at gunpoint by a bank robber inside his piano." Duncan read. Duncan paused. "All right..." "Film your captain doing the performance, while being tormented by a rabbit inside his/her piano." Zoey read. "I got the same one." Dakota pointed out as Zoey looked. "Hmmm... interesting..." Zoey said. "Film your captain CONDUCTING the performance while having construction workers built a building. The building must be finished by Five PM." Dawn read. "We expect the videos back at six PM, so don't be late with them." "Chris" said. "Until it becomes time, take a little time for yourselves. Good luck in the challenge, I'll be around. Don't tell your captain what they have to do... Dawn, you can tell B I changed my mind and that he'll be CONDUCTING the music instead." With that, the Chris McColt bot left as it entered inside the carriage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtney: I have to say, this'll be interesting, seeing what's going to happen... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The players went on to do whatever it is they want to do, making sure not to tell their team captains. Dawn did tell B that Chris changed his mind and he will be conducting the music. Meanwhile, Rarity hums a bit as she work on some dresses. The unicorn comments, "Looks like Duncan is staying over at Sweet Apple Acres. I don't blame him. The unicorn is rather rude." "Thank goodness for that." Courtney groans a bit while holding up a thread and needle. "I mean, I don't know why I ever saw in him in the first place. Do you have some ponies who you thought was your colt friend at first?" "Ugh, do not remind me." Rarity scowls. "I once wanted a prince but he turns out to be a big snobby brute!" "Really; what did he do to you?" Gwen asked, wondering what that prince did to Rarity. "Trust me. You've never met him and you wouldn't want to." Rarity snaps in irritation. She calms down somewhat. "Still, he did improved somewhat. His aunt Celestia put a spell on him to teach him a lesson and after some problems here and there, Blueblood start to learn under Jeff the Gentle." --------------- Courtney: (sighs) Sometimes love can make us so blind. (Frowns) Duncan is so glad he's living in 'Amish Paradise'. -------------- Gwen, Trent, Mike and Zoey were in Sweetie's room. They hope that the statue is in there. Mike opens a chest but jumps back as Pinkie pops out, yelling, "Hello!" "Gah! Don't do that, Pinkie!" Mike exclaims, almost having a heart attack . "Is Rarity around?" Pinkie asks in determination. "I gotta ask her for spools for Rainbow Dash's birthday coming up!" "She should be downstairs." Gwen said with a sheepish grin. Pinkie looks at her oddly. "What?" "Whatcha doing?" Pinkie asks Gwen curiously, "And in Sweetie Belle's room?" --------------------------- Zoey: We can't tell the pony that we're looking for the Chris McLean statue. She will get too suspicious. ----------------------------------- "We decided to help clean up!" Zoey exclaims as she quickly put some toys into the toy box, "Right, right! This room is a bit messy." "Yeah...we decided to clean up this room." Trent said with an awkward smile. "And we ain't looking into ponies' stuff." Pinkie gave an odd look to the 4 ponies who look worried. She then smiles while saying, "Okie dokie lokie; Later!" The mare hums as she hops out of the room to speak to Rarity. "Whew! That was a close one." Mike said softly. "Right; That Pinkie Pie is random." Gwen said with a nod. ---------------------------------------- Duncan smiles as he enjoys his new home at Sweet Apple Acres. Yeah, it's a farm and stinky...but at least it's much better than putting up with 'Cutie Wutie' Rarity. "Okay, Duncan, yer're staying here now so yew gotta do some work." Applejack said to Duncan as she motions to an axe near a stump with an apple. "Now chop 'dat there apple an' without magic, sugar cube." "Okay. I'll try." Duncan said. Duncan grabs the ax with his mouth and raises it up barely then swing the ax down...but then he yelps. When the ax made contact with the apple, Duncan suddenly yelps, shaking like he hit an anvil. "Whoa!" Duncan exclaims in alarm. "That apple is like hitting..." "A metal object," Rainbow laughs madly as she flew in. "Oh boy, you should've seen the look on your face! Oh mean, that apple is a metal one!" Applejack hits the apple, hearing a noise as if knocking on a metal door. The mare smiled, saying, "Ah. Good one, Rainbow Dash." "Yeah...say, you do pranks, right?" Duncan asks Rainbow with an evil smirk. "Dude, I can do all kinds of pranks!" Rainbow bragged. -------------- Duncan: Eh, looks like I found a partner in prank pulling. And I know such the dork to do it to... ------------- The two are later waiting outside Fluttershy's cottage. Duncan chuckles as he puts something inside a trash bag. "Uh, we ain't going to prank Fluttershy are we?" Rainbow asks Duncan awkwardly. "Pinkie told me she can be sensitive." "Dudette, relax . I got a better victim." Duncan said. Once he's done, the pony quickly rushes over to the door and set it down then uses his magic to set it aflame. The unicorn knocks while speaking in a disguised voice, "Package for Mr. Harold!" Duncan gallops off into hiding. Harold opens the door then yelps in alarm as he saw the flaming mess. "Gah," Harold exclaims as he quickly stomps onto the mess quickly. Once the flames are out, the Alicorn smells something and look disgusted as he saw a dirty mess on his dirty hooves, "ARGH; Cowpie?!" Rainbow burst with laughter at seeing this disgustingly funny prank Duncan pulled off. "Duncan, that was AWESOME!" She exclaimed with a laugh. Harold glares angrily as he saw Duncan from hiding. After wiping the mess off, he scowls, "Very funny, Duncan," The Alicorn heads inside, not seeing the familiar mare zips by him, sticking something on his behind. Harold came in, motioning a bit. Suddenly without warning Sierra kicks him, making him yelp in alarm. "Gah," Harold exclaims, looking at Sierra who looks at him confused. Suddenly DJ kicks Harold in the flank, "Gah; DJ!" As Harold turns, even Angel zips up and somehow kicks him in the flank. Fluttershy appears, looking confused as she asks, "What's going on? And oooh, what's that smell?" "Duncan's flaming cowpie trick and they are kicking me in the flank!" Harold exclaims in annoyance. "Sorry, but he got a sign on his flank which reads 'Kick Me'." DJ explains, doing his best not to laugh too hard. Fluttershy removes a sign from the flank which Harold finally saw. The mare giggles, "Oh. Rainbow loves to do this prank back in Flight School." Harold scowls, giving a dirty look to Duncan and Rainbow who laughs as they gallop off. --------------- Harold: (glares) Oh, Duncan knows what happens if he keeps on bugging me. I may not rig the votes to vote out someone close to him...but I may have to do some...'drastic measures' to get back at him. ------------------ Duncan: (laughing) Okay, that was priceless, but the next victim is better. -------------------- Twilight was busy helping Nyx with her homework when her phone rang. The mare picks it up and listens to the other voice on the end. "Hang on, let me check." Twilight said. She looks up to speak to the others reading or doing whatever until the challenge, "Uh, 'Ivana Bugly;' Ponies, hey; 'Ivana Bugly'!" "Too late, you already are!" Izzy remarks, some of her team mates laughs a bit at Twilight saying that she 'wants to be ugly'. "Hey! That's not nice!" Nyx said with a frown while Twilight realized what happened as she frowned in embarrassment. "Wait a minute... Rainbow Dash," Twilight yells into the phone. She hears Rainbow and Duncan laughing madly before they hang up. "Ugh! And that guy Duncan is involved too!" "Still, pretty funny," Phobos laughs a bit then stops as he saw a glare from Nyx. "What?" ---------------- We see Ben Mare was by a tree, as he was relaxing under its shade while the sun was out. And during a little alone time, he was playing a familiar item he felt was an important treasure; the Ocarina of Time. He’s been practicing many different melodies and songs he’s learn from the Triforce of Wisdom, each one as helpful as the next. Course approaching Ben was a shadow that was almost about to catch him off guard, until…. “Hugh?” Ben almost summoned his sword to attack if it was an enemy, however…… “My apologies, I did not mean to startle you.” The mysterious person that came out was instead Chase as he approached in not wanting to startle the stallion. “Oh Chase, nah it’s fine.” Ben sighs in relief, glad to see that it wasn’t an enemy. At least, he and the others are hoping, but they are keeping their eyes open from what they have been told about Chase. “That’s a unique instrument you have, is that not….” Chase was about to ask if that ocarina flute object was what he believed it to be. “The Ocarina of Time, might be or just a replica?” Ben spoke with a little smile across his face in saying that it was that object he had, unless Chase thinks it’s only a replica of the real thing. “A true warrior can tell the difference in what is fake and what is real, that’s the reality of the world.” Chase spoke that he can tell the object was very real, and that it was not a fake. Those that know there is no truth in an illusion, he knows it and luckily, Ben hasn’t reach a stage to where he would gain the Lens of Truth….yet. “Thanks, another lesson that I’m sure I’ll keep in mind.” Ben smiled in thanking Chase for the advice, he’ll remember that next time around. As Chase stood there, he began to think of things in his mind. Perhaps what he wishes to know, the key to why the Triforce he held had left him to eventually become Ben’s power, he may learn of that mystery. But it was a long shot of a gamble , he had to be careful in what he says without revealing too much, and so from taking a deep breath & exhaling….Chase decided that if he was going to learn the truth; he may as well ask of the new wielder’s opinion over the subject. “Ben, there is something….of a personal matter I wish to ask of you.” Chase suddenly spoke off this manner of wanting to ask something, which might be a personal question about Ben here. “Oh, what is it?” Ben replied off in raising an eyebrow, wonder what Chase wanted to ask that was personal that he needs permission first. “May I first join you before telling?” Chase requested that before he asks the question, if it be alright if he himself join Ben in sitting down for them to chat. “Of course,” Ben nods his head in allowing it, that’ll be more level of what to say while they are sitting. Soon Chase came around to sit across from where Ben sat under the tree. Both were facing different directions, but it was clear that they were at least close enough to have a private chat among themselves. Now the time to bring up an interesting discussion…was at hand, or rather, a hoof, sorta speak. “As you know, you’ve become the chosen wielder of the Triforce Element, correct?” Chase spoke with a sound of being serious, to which Ben nodded to the discussion so far. “It’s the one element to hold three types: the Wisdom, the Courage, even the Power, all into one.” The guy explained how the element Ben holds has three times the strength of a single element, making it very powerful. “I know all that.” Ben nods his head in following this much of what their discussion is about. “Then my asking of the question is only this, and do not take it as a personal insult, but how was it….” Chase was slowly speaking in bringing himself to answer a mysterious question that may hold answers he truly seeks to learn. “That out of others….You came into its possession?” Chase wanted to know what would make Ben Mare here be chosen to be the wielder of such an element; which was previously his own long ago but remains a secret from the others while under his alias form. Hearing this made Ben do some extra thinking that he never did much thought about; Or in truth, he always had many questions about such a thing, but never much facts about it. Maybe by talking about it, Ben might be able to express an answer to some things he wanted to be asked about. Guess it’s worth trying at least, so after taking a deep breath, he started to think while he spoke. “In truth, I’m not really sure myself. To be one in a million for the Triforce to choose me,” Ben shrug off in saying he has no idea why he was chosen to be the wielder of such an element. “Heck, I even performed some of the weirdest feats when I hovered off the ground as a colt.” He sorta smiled in remembering such a feat that was unattended that he used his ability with such an element during a young stage. “I see; did the Triforce appear on your flank then?” Chase responded in hearing this, so Ben had the Triforce when he was but a colt. “No, that power happened before I had my Cutie Mark.” Ben shook his head in stating that he didn’t have his Cutie Mark with the Triforce then, the power just…happened unexpectedly. “Strange.” Chase held his chin to ponder this mystery of how Ben used the element, but it wasn’t at all marked for him to be known of it. “For some, they are given that ability ‘after’ the mark appears so then how is it you awoke apart of it?” Chase was now more intrigue, how was Ben able to use the Triforce before it appeared to signal the stallion was the new destine host. “I’m still lost myself, I never learn of my Cutie Mark until after I was saved by Twilight’s feelings for me and the necklace I gave her, the Necklace of Eternal. It performed a miracle that I had my life again after I sacrifice myself to protect my love ones and it cured me of a curse.” Ben responded in having a complete unknown memory of what transpired during the whole thing; but he does know he earn the Triforce after he was saved by his loved ones when he died as the Demon Pony. “Well you must have shown kindness, a caring heart for those you love to be worthy to receive it.” Chase spoke in having a feeling that Ben was seen to be a good heroic model, he just needed some push to get him going. “In truth, I almost think it wouldn’t have choose’d me when I was the Demon Pony.” Ben spoke about what he once was and if he remains as such, the choice of being the Triforce wielder might not have worked out. “But somehow, maybe facing off the most hardest challenge of being dubbed a monster seem to been a test that I somehow pass.” That had to be a theory that one who had long endured being a monster that terrorized, but never gave up their humane part….could be those that are proven to be true heroes of good. “Hmmm….such a theory is not impossible.” Chase was deep in thought of hearing what Ben was giving him, and if such a matter could be taken into an account as a test. “For one that overcomes the darkness that controls them to be evil, could you have performed such that you were blessed with it?” Chase had to ask, was it from overcoming the matter of being the Demon Pony, that Ben grown to be strong for those he loved to be chosen by the Triforce Element. “It wasn’t just me; it was what an old friend of mine once said.” Ben spoke with a smile on his face in also making an additional fact to the discussion. “That you can’t let the worst things get you down, you have to endure them, and then you’ll find something good along the way. By staying true to yourself, no matter what terrible fate you’re in, Hoboken Joe taught me that…because he lived through such hardships.” Ben smiled in speaking every word; it was thanks to that Earth Pony that was a hobo veteran janitor that became his friend, even if he was older and pushed around from high snobs, he taught Ben much to help keep him going. “This….Hoboken Joe….what is he to you?” Chase raised an eyebrow in hearing that name again; this pony must be special to Ben; could it be something even he feels familiar with? “Well, he’s almost like an important uncle I never had, if not for him, me and Twilight would have been lost in the darkness from being separated. Even Flash Sentry helped out, family & friends and all.” Ben spoke from feeling that he had those that helped set him on the path to not quit; to keep pushing and keep trying no matter the odds, and in the end…something good happened. Chase remain silent in hearing such an explanation on how Ben overcome a trial from when those that cared for him, those that never gave up on him, brought out possibly the best in him. Having friends….having those that you share common traits in…..learning things that may help one understand what they are going through from another one’s perspective….and the helpful love guidance from family. It all seemed vaguely familiar to the stallion who is really Shadow Dragon, but as Chase….he felt like he understood a little. “It’s strange, hearing about someone that cares so much about you reminds me of another I once knew, a long time ago.” Chase spoke off with a distracted mind in recalling…something of his past that felt similar to Ben’s talk about events he went through before the Triforce choose him. “Really, was he family to you?” Ben looked to Chase in being curious; this has earn his attention now. “Very much, he was my first family before I had others that I considered family.” Chase responded in telling a little about himself to the stallion. “But your mystery still lies of your own origin.” Chase stated this off to change the subject around Ben, who is but the adoptive son to Celestia, surely he’s ben curious of his ‘real’ family and of the truth. “Yeah, I guess.” Ben spoke from looking away to begin a deep moment of thought concerning his past of his family before Celestia took care of him. “I don’t know who my real parents are after Celestia took me in and she became my mom. But there is one pony that has maybe stronger ties to me as a part of my family tree.” Ben was explaining himself about not knowing much of his own family tree, but he did learn something that he has a member that is very important for him to at least know. “And who would that be?” Chase asked off in now seeing a new discussion take place. “When I received the Ocarina of Time, it holds more than magic, it holds sentinel value. From the Hero of Time, Link, and from Princess Zelda of Hyrule,” Ben spoke from holding the special flute he was given from his dream state, the ocarina is more than just some powerful item; it holds something that was shared by Link and Zelda that can’t be forgotten. “I believe I’m a descendant from someone of their time.” Ben stated that he learn he was from someone that existed during the Hero of Time’s adventures long ago. “Who….?” Chase asked in being interested to hear more of what Ben was about to say, and it may even revolve around an important clue he wants to figure out. “My ancestor was none other than Link’s Riding Companion in all his adventures, Epona.” Ben slowly spoke with a smile to look up to the skies, announcing that he’s a direct descendant to Epona, the horse who’s rider was the Hero of Time, Link. “Epona; Are you serious?” Chase asked off in almost beginning to go wide eye in hearing such shocking and unbelievable news. “There isn’t any warrior that doesn’t know of the very horse that played an important role with such a hero. Did he say anything?” Chase was now almost getting too much into this, to learn that Ben is a descendent of Epona, the riding companion to Link who wielded the Master Sword & play a role with the Triforce…there was so many questions that so many wanted to be answered. “He spoke, but more like the Mag’ne’s world of horse talk, but I still understood them from the power of Wisdom.” Ben replied off in stating that when he spoke with his ancestor, it was a language he followed from the Wisdom he had on him. “He was the first glimpse I had in realizing what family tree I belong to.” Thanks to the special magical meeting, Ben learns his family came from Link’s faithful & trusted riding companion; Epona, perhaps there are others that are descendants and one of them could be from his real family that he has such blood in his veins. Chase who had heard all of this was left very much speechless. Could the choosing of Ben Mare as the Triforce Element’s wielder be from his connection to his ancestor; Epona, or because of other trials he overcame that was more of a test to prove he would not fall into evil’s clutches? “Well I need to get going, hope my answers helped in what you were searching to figure out Chase.” Ben spoke from standing up, he smiles to Chase about it being nice that they chat, but he’ll need to head to somewhere. “Yes, I believe I have, thank you for the time, Benjamin.” Chase nods to Ben’s reply while saying he received plenty of the questions he wanted to know from the stallion. At the moment, Ben was walking away to go off on some other task he had to tend to. But when all was clear and no one else was around, Chase began to come to terms with his own hidden agendas of what he’s learn from spying the Mane Six’s group for the Dark Mystics & uncovering the secrets of the Triforce being with its new owner. “Could the very answer I sought to unravel be something that was misunderstood?” Chase spoke to himself in wondering if what he wanted to figure out about Ben having the Triforce, most of what he learn was…strangely expectable of an answer. “Hmmm…when I held the Triforce, before becoming who I am today, I recall doing things that proved me worthy.” He remembers the days he was once a Mystic Pony, how he once was worthy of the power before going bad. “But perhaps that element choose’d Ben after he had overcome becoming something he truly did not want to be.” Chase stated the other fact of what was learn from Ben’s story, how the element came into his being, “From the help of those that loved him.” Chase silently whispered this out to himself while looking above the tree and its many leaves that moved with the wind & from the sunlight. After images are seen from what Chase was almost seeing those he recalls in the past; the days of when he was a colt, the day he and his young family members came to the mortal realm of Equestria, the meeting with a certain filly. The old images of Tao, Dragon Kick and some of the Mystic Council members are there. But the images soon faded away, like dust in the wind, like the past that was just that….something only seen in the past. “But still, perhaps the most interesting fact is another evidence that was never expected. That the Hero of Time’s horse could play a role over the ages of pony kind,” Chase spoke in getting his mind set back on Ben, realizing something that he had such a connection from a bloodline that was very old, “To imagine that Ben is descendant to Epona while he has no idea who his true parents would be. But then again, one of them might be a surprise than the other.” To Chase, there is something that Ben still has yet to learn, the truth of who his parents really are, and what he’ll do when he learns about it. “For now, I must continue my mission; I’ve learned some facts about Ben’s connection of why he was the next chosen wielder. In some ways, it makes sense…..fate was trying to make sure he would not fall in the same path I had chosen.” Chase had learn something important, that the mistake he did cost him from keeping the Triforce Element, and so it went to a host that is both connected to the Hero of Time and has proven that he overcame being something he wasn’t. “I wonder if he’ll prove to be capable of that.” He smiled with a hidden expression, being curious about Ben being able to overcome such a trial when the time comes. And with that, Chase turns to leave after standing up to walk away from the tree spot. The scene goes dark with some mysterious solved a bit, but more questions lie in wait for answers to come. ---------------------- Chris: Okay, if you wonder why we shown that, folks, the princesses insisted that we do that. And that Chase dude? Whoa; pretty mysterious, dude. ----------------------------- Duncan chuckles in amusement as he and Rainbow watch a pizza delivery pony arriving outside Chase's home. The mare remarks, "Okay, this prank? Best one ever." The pony knocks on the door. Chase answers, looking oddly as the pizza delivery one said, "A thousand pizzas for Chase the Fighter guy." "I didn't order any...." Chase pauses, frowning as he realizes that he himself has been pranked. The Earth pony groans, "Fine. I will pay for them." The two waits as Chase pays for the meal and took the pizzas into his home. Duncan and Rainbow hears sneezing coming from inside. ------------------------ Duncan:Okay, so Rainbow Dash and I ordered pizzas for Chase that he didn't order. But as a bonus , while those pizza ponies weren't looking, Rainbow added some sneezing powder to each one. Ha ha ha; Priceless. That Chase bum must be sneezing right now! -------------------- However, inside the house, Tech is eating the pizzas while sneezing. He groans, "ACHOOO! Ugh, Shadow Dragon. This isn't good. I came to see how you're doing and now I'm eating this stuff!" "Keep eating, Tech." Chase orders sternly as the groaning Tech kept on eating the pizza. "Luckily, I knew a prank wouldn't be this easy without a catch which is why I made you the guinea pig." The villain picks up a slice however, uses his powers to wipe the sneezing powder off then eats a slice without sneezing. Good pizza though. ------------------------ "My, my, Duncan seems like a prankster." Discord chuckles in amusement as he and his fellow hosts watches the events happening (minus what's going on in Chase/Shadow Dragon's home due to no cameras in there). "Yes, though should we act on Duncan's pranking?" Luna ass curiously. "Nah; A dude gotta prank." Chris remarks in amusement, eating some slices of pizzas. "And a dude gotta host." "Would some pony tell me what the necks going on?! Who are these guys?!" Lorcan demands, still not in the loop as to what's going on. Chef Hatchet rolls his eyes as he picks up the Dragon to take him out of the room, "And----hands off the cloak!" "We're running a little reality show, Lordcan." Luna explains to Lorcan sweetly. "No need to make a fuss over it." "Ooooh, a pet name; you two like each other," Chris teases Luna and Lorcan, making them blush slightly. ---------- Luna: (booming) ANYTHING BETWEEN ME AND LORCAN IS NOT CHRIS'S BUSINESS!!! (Pause) But...Lorcan is really cute to be honest... -------- Lorcan: (confused) so this room is for confessing? What do I got to confess? Nothing I hope! ------------------------------ Back with the Immortal Alicorns, we see Dawn meditating as she sighed. Lately, it seemed like she was... well, lonely. Ever since B started talking up and started socializing, she felt that she... well, felt left out. She liked translating B's emotions. She always thought B was one of those guys that wanted to keep to himself but when the game started, and B began talking to the others, Dawn was starting to feel lonely. She felt that meditating was the only way to calm herself... but so far, nothing seemed to be working... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn: I don't quite understand what's going on with me lately. I mean, ever since B started talking and socializing, I felt out of the loop. I don't know why... maybe it's because I'm so used to translating for B for everyone because I understood his emotions; But... (sighs) now that he has the courage to talk to everyone, I felt... so left out... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn sighed as she started to get up, not noticing as she was passing by a truck carrying a giant piano (with a certain scared Scott playing it), a police pony riding a unicycle after it, and Lightning following with a camera and his every moves. Dawn sighed as she looked up to the sky. That was when Lindsay, being distracted by a butterfly, came up as she noticed Dawn. Lindsay trotted over to Dawn as she sat down. "I noticed you were feeling... what's the word?" "Depressed?" Dawn sighed as she meditated again. "Yes, that's it!" Lindsay smiled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: (dancing and singing) I'm smart! I'm smart! S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, what's the problem?" Lindsay asked. "Ever since B began talking to other people, I felt left out. I loved translating for him, but now that he's talking, I feel he doesn't need me anymore..." Dawn sighed. "Oh, how do you know that's not true?" Lindsay asked. Dawn looked over to Lindsay as she asked, "You really think that B needs me?" "Are you kidding?" Lindsay smiled. "When B started talking to me, he kept talking about how much he liked having you around." Dawn blushed a bit as she said, "You really think so?" "Of course," Lindsay smiled. "He told me that without you around, he probably wouldn't have had the courage to open up to people!" "So, B... really appreciates me?" Dawn asked. "I think so. I think he might even like you, but maybe that's just me..." Lindsay said. Dawn paused. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn: What Lindsay said REALLY got me thinking today. Do I LIKE B? I mean, do I LIKE LIKE B? (Pause) If the universe is shifting that way... it might be... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: You know, I feel that Dawn and I have made quite a connection! This is so exciting; I hope we end up teaming together! (Pause as she adjusts her crown) After all, the queen demands it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn smiled as she hugged Lindsay. "Thanks, Lindsay. You sure know how to lift up my spirits!" Dawn then went into a meditating position as she started to levitate away. Lindsay paused as she said, "I wish I could do that..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meanwhile, over with the Unicorns, Bridgette and Geoff were too busy making out as Rarity walked in on them. "Excuse me, I was just..." Rarity then stopped short as she covered her eyes, "Oh, CELESTIA! CELESTIA! THIS IS HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE!" Geoff and Bridgette then jumped as they gulped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: Figures. Whenever Geoff and I want to be alone, Rarity has to bust in on every room! (Sighs) This has got to be one of our worst seasons. We can't even make out ANYWHERE! It's like this place is... PURE! (Pause) Okay, it's a magical enchanted pony place. I guess I walked into that one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I cannot believe what I just saw!" Rarity yelped. "I just saw..." Rarity then pointed to Geoff. "YOU..." Then she pointed to Bridgette, "Making out with her! Do you know there are CHILDREN present? I mean, my gosh! I am trying to run a CLEAN establishment here! I am not having you two going at it like rabbits!" "RABBITS," Bridgette yelped as she galloped off. "That reminds me, Gwen needs to do her performance now! It's about that time!" As Bridgette galloped off, Rarity kept glaring at Geoff as she said, "I'm not done with YOU!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff: Dude, harsh! Isn't it too much to ask that we have some privacy? It's not that hard... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, with Sam, Dakota and Ezekiel, Dakota and Ezekiel were sitting down as Sam nodded. "Now, the first thing you need to do is... breathe." Sam said. Dakota and Ezekiel nodded as they took deep breaths. "That's right, breathe deep. Let your inner emotions talk..." Sam said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dakota: Have I ever told you how amazing of a boyfriend Sam is? Because he is! He's doing his best to help me get back into civilization again, after being a monster for at least two years. (Pause) Or was it a few months? Hard to say, the timeline on Total Drama is really inconsistent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Dakota, Sam and Ezekiel took deep breath, Heather was walking out, dressed in a brown dress as she was preparing her hooves, feeling that she was ready to do the performance. Following nearby was Izzy, who was just smiling crazily. "Thanks for letting me be your camera girl, Heather!" Izzy smiled. "Not that I had much of a choice..." Heather said. "At least the others are saying they have to watch me do great!" "Yeah... you might say that..." Izzy gave a smirk. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As DJ was cuddling up a small bear cub, Fluttershy passed by him, asking, "Excuse me, DJ, but you wouldn't have happened to see Angel or Cubby, have you?" "Sorry, haven't seen them since this morning..." DJ shrugged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJ: I lent Angel and Cubby to the piano companies so that when Gwen and Heather played their pianos, Angel and Cubby would bother them. Don't tell anybody I did that, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back with Heather and Izzy, Heather turned as she asked, "Hey guys, I'm off to performance. You want to come?" "Thanks, but we're needing some time to ourselves..." Ezekiel took a deep breath. "Learning how to be human again isn't as easy as it looks..." Dakota said. "That's why they need practice..." Sam said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam: Even though we are technically ponies, we are still humans, and I know for sure that Dakota and Ezekiel have yet to learn how to be humans themselves after so long. So, being a caring boyfriend of Dakota's, I decided to help her in her time of need... and I decided to help Ezekiel too, since he went through that path himself... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ezekiel: I know it's tough for me, and it's tough for all, but I believe that with Sam's advice and my willpower, I can dominate this game, eh! I can do this! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back with the hosts, watching the cameras, Chris just gave a spit in disgust. "You just had to bring Ezekiel to his senses..." "Watch it, or we turn you to a toad." Celestia glared at Chris. "No, I won't! Ezekiel being a monster is the best thing this series brought! You're all being kobold necromancers! I still can't believ-" That was as far as Chris got before Luna used her horn and turned Chris into a yellow toad as he started croaking his rant... before stopping as he looked down at himself. Chris looked up and noticed that he was turned into a toad. Chris frowned as he croaked. "Forget it. We'll change you back when we feel like it." Celestia said as she summoned a jar and put Chris inside, "IF we feel like it." The princesses then gave a chuckle as Chris the Toad glared. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie: (in her seat) so you Bronies are wondering if this story and JusSonic's stories with Pinkamena run at the same time. That's not always true. That story and Golden Heart's Journey take place AFTER this and the episode with Cheese Sandwich...which didn't happen yet timeline wise so I shouldn't be talking about it. Also, ponies, the Equestria Games are coming up. Watch it on Hub and cheer on for your favorite teams! I will be the one in the pink fur coat! ------------------------- "And again, we can't keep her out of there!" Chris the Toad complains from inside her jar. The princesses hush him as they continue watching the monitors. --------------- "Time for Round Two," Duncan chuckle as he and Rainbow dials into the phone line , calling Twilight once more. At the library, Twilight and Ben were talking when the phone rang. The mare picks it up and speaks, "Golden Oaks Library?" "Yeah, I'm looking for a Mr. Herflank. First name, Mike Tea," Duncan's disguised voice said on the other end. "Hang on, let me guess." Twilight said as she turns to the customers as well as some of the Total Drama ponies doing whatever, "Hey, Mike T. Herflank? Have you ponies seen Mike Tea Herflank lately?" The ponies laugh in hilarity as Twilight was asking if they have seen 'her teacher's flank'. "What? What's so funny? What're you--?" Twilight asked in confusion before she realized what she said as she blushed in embarrassment before frowning in annoyance. At the phone line , Duncan and Rainbow laughs as they hang up before the mare could go into any threats. The Pegasus pony remarks, "Cool, but we better cool it before Twilight gets pushed too far." "Yeah, good idea," Duncan snorts a bit. "Let's go get some glue and feathers and play chicken with Harold." "Right," Rainbow said as she and Duncan heads off for a prank on Harold. ------------------------- "I can't believe I caught what you just did!" Rarity exclaims to Geoff in disgust. "I mean, what was you even thinking?!" "Dudette, calm down; It's just harmless making out." Geoff insists to Rarity innocently. "Don't you wanna do it with a pony or someone you like?" "Not with children present!" Rarity snapped in reply. ---------------- Geoff: Geez, Rarity acted like she never had it before. (Pause) Come to think of it, with a figure like hers, I am shocked no pony ever had her! ---------------------- "From now on, while you're in my Boutique, you two are acting like normal ponies! Don't even go near each other while in my home!" Rarity snaps angrily to Geoff. "Filly, you ain't my mom!" Geoff remarks in annoyance to Rarity. "I betcha Twilight wouldn't have this problem in her home." "She is a mother of a filly so even Twilight has her limits!" Rarity snaps to Geoff in disgust. "Whatever! I am going to see if any of my sane pals want to hang out." Geoff snaps as he leaves, "My advice, Rarity? Find a pony or boyfriend of your own and see if you'd like it!" As Geoff leaves, Rarity scoffs angrily, "What a horrible, disgusting pony!" ------------------- Lindsay and Dawn manage to talk Big Macintosh into taking them for a ride in the cart into town. The two acted, laughing like they are new friends. "So basically, you definitely like B, right?" Lindsay asks Dawn with a smile. "Well, probably like LIKE, maybe." Dawn said, blushing a bit. "Oooh, like LIKE. Sounds like a keeper, right Big Mac?" Lindsay asks Big Macintosh in amusement. "Eeyup," Big Macintosh said with a nod. "Well, still, it's too early to jump into a relationship." Dawn said to Lindsay in concern. "I know what happened to Trent and Gwen..." "Come on, it isn't so bad. Anypony could get a special somepony of their own," Lindsay said with a smirk. "I betcha even Big Mac got a filly, right?" "Err....uh...nnope." Big Macintosh said, trying to hide some blushing. "Come on! A big guy like you," Dawn teases Big Mac. "I can sense an aura, especially with that of Miss Cheerilee." Hearing Dawn's words caused Big Mac to blush a little wildly. ------------- Lindsay: I like spending time with Dawn; she sounds like a nice friend. (Frowns) Unlike that evil meanie Heather! --------------------- Dawn: Lindsay sounds like the friend I want to take me to the merger. I can't believe she didn't make it past the first elimination ceremony in All-Stars. --------------------------- While the other ponies are busy, some of the Groundin' Earth Ponies are at Sweet Apple Acres, looking for the statue. Eva and Brick are searching the mud. "Hey, Justin," Eva snaps in annoyance to Justin who is trying to keep clear of the mud. "This will go faster if you help!" "But I don't want to get dirty!" Justin whines a bit, but screams as Eva pulls him in. "Do it! I don't want to blow my chance again!" Eva scowls angrily. Justin whines like a filly as he forces to clean up as well. --------------- Eva: While Scott is busy with the challenge and with Lightning taping, the rest of us are working on finding that statue. ---------------- Justin: (frowns) I wish I was elsewhere. Lightning got lucky; he is taping Scott for his challenge! ---------------------- Apple Bloom trots over, wearing a helmet, as she speaks, "Howdy, y'all; Whatcha doing?" "Looking," Eva grunts a bit. "And that's all you need to know." "Great, will one o' yew help me an' mah pals prepare fer looking fer our cutie marks?" Apple Bloom asks with a smirk. "Young filly, I will be happy to try my hoof at this." Justin remarks with a smirk. "Ugh, don't try it." Brick remarks to Justin in disgust. "She's too young for you." "Not like that!" Justin insists to Brick in annoyance. -------------------- Brick: That soldier is just trying to get out of work. If he was doing Lightning's job , Justin can't get out of it. ------------------------- Justin: I'm sure whatever Apple Bloom and her friends has, it's just little foal's play, right? --------------------- Justin spoke too soon. He screams as the pony is on skates, being pulled by Scootaloo on her scooter who is screaming, "YAHOOOOO!" Justin moves around, trying to avoid the ponies like mad. Apple Bloom is timing as Mike ask, "So out of curiosity, how long are you doing this? Looking for cutie marks?" "A long time; we formed 'dis club so we can help blank flanks, not a word Ah would use, look fer their cutie marks." Apple Bloom explains a bit. "I see. But Nyx has her cutie mark." "Yeah, but they change the rules later on." Nyx said with a happy, smiling to her cutie mark. "I got this cutie mark because I am willing to help ponies. How about you? How did you get your cutie mark?" "Uh..." Mike said, trying to think up an excuse for his three circles cutie mark. "I'm guessing it's because of my MPD. Of course, since I was cured of it, I now got their talents." "Good move." Sweetie said with a smile. "Apple Bloom used to have something like that..." "Except it's something called 'de Cutie Pox an' Ah done preferred not 'ta speak o' it." Apple Bloom remarks with a frown, referring not to get into her situation when she stole Zecora's potion one time. It was rather embarrassing for her. Scootaloo calls out, "All right, making a turn!" The little Pegasus filly makes a sharp turn as she goes into another direction. Justin tries to hold on...but yelps as his handle thing snaps right off, causing him to be send flying and crashing... The good news is that, as Justin recovers, he saw that he himself has crashed right onto Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, getting their ice cream spilled all over them. The Earth pony said sheepishly, "Oh, sorry, little fillies. Let me clean that up for..." The bad news is that Diamond Tiara snorts angrily then screams out, "MAXIN TALOS!!!!" The ground shakes as everyone yelps in alarm. Sweetie yells out, "What the hay is that?!" Mike yelps as a huge stallion somehow breaks apart a tree and came over to Diamond Tiara. The one known as Maxin Talos booms, "Yes Miss Tiara?" The angry bully points to Justin, the one who got ice cream spilled all over her. The bodyguard glares as he cracks one of his hooves. "Not the face, not the face!" Justin screams in terror as Maxin grabs him and begins beating him up. The CMC and Mike cringes, looking shocked as the Earth Pony is getting the stuffing beaten out of him. ------------- Mike: Whoa! Make a note: I don't even want to get on that filly's bad side, especially with that big giant of a bodyguard of hers! Brrrr! ---------- (We see Justin in bandages, whining as he looks in a mirror) Justin: Why me? Why? First Total Drama Action, now this... -------------------------- Back at the library, Ben decided to help Ezekiel, Sam and Dakota out in the recovering progress. Sam didn't give out too much info, saying that the other two used to be 'monsters' and they needed all the info that Ezekiel and Dakota can get. "Relax , breath in and out." Ben said to Ezekiel and Dakota who breaths in and out. "I know how you two feel. When I was a Demon Pony, I thought that I would never be myself again. But with the support of Twilight and her friends, I came back." "Ha. Friendship can't do much for me." Ezekiel grunts a bit. "Why, when I first met these ponies, I said bad stuff about mares...then I got a bit annoying with my arrogant and ego, and let's say even an accident messed me up, eh." "He's right." Sam said to Ben with a nod. "That messed him up like a minus world level." "Well, redeeming oneself isn't easy. But if one stick to that course, he can be a hero that a world can enjoy." Ben said to the trio with a smile. Hearing that made Ezekiel and Dakota smile a bit. That does sound good. Suddenly the library door opens as a bandaged Justin came in followed by Mike and the CMC. Spike looks stunned as he exclaims, "Whoa, Justin! You look like you got beaten by a mountain." "I was...a mountain by the name of Maxin Talos." Justin whines as he sat down on the couch weeping. "Spike, get some ice and cocoa for Justin." Twilight said to Spike. As the Dragon went into the kitchen, the mare asks Nyx, "Nyx, what happened?" "Diamond Tiara got a new bodyguard by the name of Maxin Talos." Nyx explains to her mother with a sigh. "Justin accidentally spilt ice cream onto Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon while he was helping my friends with their Cutie Mark activities." "And trust me, it got ugly." Scootaloo remarks with a shrug. "Well, I will have to call Diamond's father and let him know about this." Twilight said sternly. Just then, the phone rang, much to her annoyance. "If that's Rainbow and Duncan with another one of their prank calls..." Twilight answers the phone. The good news is that it isn't Rainbow but another friend, Fluttershy. She calls in, "Oh, hey Twilight." "Oh Fluttershy. Hey. What's up?" "Uh, you got some glue remover and a pair of tweezers? Harold got into...well...an accident..." ----------- Back at Fluttershy's home, the mare is on the phone, glancing at Harold, covered in glue and feathers that makes him look like a chicken, who looks angry as Cody, Sierra and Beth were working on helping in pulling the feathers off of him. Brady was visit taping B at the time. "Duncan somehow accidentally spilt glue onto him while Rainbow dropped a pillow on Harold, getting feathers stuck on him." Fluttershy explains to Twilight in concern. "Oh, I am going to get Duncan for this." Harold remarks with an angry scowl. What happened was NO accident. -------------------- Cody: Looks like Duncan is up to his old dirty habits; Heh heh. Got to admit, seeing him dirty like this...spot on. ------------- Tyler came in, while saying, "Hey Fluttershy; You seen Lin..." The pony saw Harold and screams in terror, thinking that he's a chicken, "AHHHHHHHHH!" Tyler runs out of the room with Fluttershy looking confused as she held the phone. Twilight's voice is heard on the other end, "Was that Tyler?" "Sorry, Tyler is scared of chickens." Beth explains to Fluttershy sheepishly. Outside, Duncan and Rainbow high-five/hoof one another while both laughs eagerly. ------------ Duncan: (laughing and almost falling out of his seat) Oh man! Two for the price of one! Dressed Harold up like a chicken and scaring Tyler big time! Ha ha ha ha! Awesome!!!! ------------ We later see Duncan and Rainbow at the phones again as Rainbow smirked, Duncan dialing a number. Duncan chuckled as he put the phone in his ear... then his eyes widened as he yelped. "Uh... is... uh, Megan Fahlenbock there?" Rainbow paused. "Wait, what?" "Megan Fahlenbock... sorry..." Duncan then hung up as Rainbow blinked. "What the hay was that?" Rainbow asked. "Uh... wrong number." Duncan said, nervously. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duncan: Damn it, why did I get GWEN, of all people, on the phone? I choked on this! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We later see Geoff and Bridgette inside a barn in Sweet Apple Acres, trying to make out as Applejack and Apple Bloom came in. Apple Bloom looked curious as she asked, "What is the cowboy pony doing to that nice pony?" The surfer girl-pony and party dude stopped as Applejack's mouth dropped, "MAH EYES!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff: Dude, not her too! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: I mean, we still have that spark but... somehow, it's not being initiated... mainly because the others were getting in the way... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "OUT! OUT! OUT," Applejack said as she kicked both Geoff and Bridgette out, causing them to get a little dizzy. Apple Bloom blinked as she turned to Applejack, asking, "What were they doing, Applejack?" Applejack, wanting to avoid the question, quickly said, "Apple Bloom, yer're grounded." "What did I do wrong?" Apple Bloom asked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We later see Geoff and Bridgette trying to initiate a make-out session near some bushes in Fluttershy's cottage... but unfortunately, Fluttershy came over and yelped. "Oh... oh my," Fluttershy blushed infuriously. "Pardon me, I had no idea..." "Hey, Fluttershy, what's up..." Rainbow flew over as she then turned to see Geoff and Bridgette in awkward positions. Rainbow's face fell as she covered her eyes. "I'M BLIND!" "Fine, fine, we're going, we're going!" Geoff and Bridgette said as they started to leave. Rainbow Dash started to fly with her eyes closed as Duncan came over to Fluttershy in curiosity. "What happened to her?" "We both saw... Geoff and Bridgette doing... something inappropriate," Fluttershy was blushing. "Wait, they were making out? Again," Duncan rolled his eyes. "Somehow, I'm not surprised..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later in the Library, we see Ezekiel and Dakota taking a deep breath as Ben and Sam nodded. "You guys are doing great!" Sam smiled. "Keep calm, and you'll be okay in no time." As Ezekiel and Dakota smiled, Katie and Sadie walked in as they sat down. Katie smiled as she asked, "Hey, Ben, have you seen Twilight anywhere?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: Me, Sadie, Pinkie and Izzy were planning a party after our next elimination ceremony, and we needed some streamers, just to get them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sadie: I love parties, especially those with great streamers and fun music! I hope there's some fun going on! EEEEE! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, Twilight... she just went up to her bedroom to get one of her books." Ben said. "Uh-oh..." Noah came in as he was holding a book. "Did you say Twilight was up in her room? Because I just saw Geoff and Bridgette coming in, with an intent to make out." "Make out... you mean, mating?" Ben said in confusion. "Uh, something like that?" Noah said. "In a way, these two are always... in heat, you might say." Ben yelped as he smiled nervously. "You know, maybe she won't notice them..." "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone turned to see Twilight running out, her eyes were wide with horror. "BEN, I'M BLIND!" As Twilight ran down the stairs, Geoff and Bridgette walked out in embarrassment as Ben rolled his eye, "Very funny, Twilight." "No, really, Ben!" Twilight said, walking around, trying to feel for something. "I just saw Geoff and Bridgette doing a rocking pony stance... and then everything went black! I think my eyes were trying to protect my heart! Now I'm never going to see what letters I write to Princess Celestia!" "Oh, will you quit being a baby?" Phobos frowned as he walked past. "I am so sorry..." Bridgette started to Ben. "It's fine, it's hysterical blindness." Ben explained. "It happened to me once when I saw somebody making out in the castle. It wears off eventually. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff: Dude, at this point, NOWHERE is safe to make out... (Sighs) This blows... I may as well be out of this game now... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: Maybe it was better off that Geoff and I didn't make out every second. I mean, I love the guy, and we do have that spark, but I think it's time for me to be my own woman... just for a while. Once this game is over, we'll make up for everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We see Twilight sitting down next to Nyx as Nyx was doing her mane. Twilight paused as she squinted. "Hang on... it's coming back to me, I see shapes... I see... straw." Nyx stopped as she glared at Twilight. Twilight's eyes widened as she yelped, "Oh, Nyx! Sorry..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: I do feel for the couple trying to make out, but sometimes, it just has to be that way... it hasn't been great, but it's not good either... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (We then see Pinkie and Izzy dancing) Pinkie: So you just about done with this? Izzy: Just about! Pinkie/Izzy: Hey-o! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We later see Gwen getting out of the concert hall, muttering in jealousy as Courtney was holding her arm, rubbing it as she was groping the camera. "I can't believe you shot me!" Courtney frowned. "Well, excuse me, but you were coughing!" Gwen frowned. "I was coughing DAINTLY!" Courtney rolled her eyes. Gwen sighed as she looked up. "Well, Heather's performance is next, you want to see it?" "Might as well..." Courtney said, still rubbing her arm, "Can't believe you shot me!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Eva was still looking around for the statue, she noticed that Lightning was coming back, with a shaking Scott as he was laughing like mad. "What's wrong with him?" Eva asked as Scott was laughing crazily. "Really intense scene, had to shoot from every angle, and a cop caught a real robber." Lightning said, holding the camera as Scott was lying down. "He'll be fine after a while." Eva nodded... then noticed that Staci had her head in a bucket. "What is SHE doing here?" "I don't know... she had this bucket on her head for a while, though..." Lightning shrugged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staci: (still with bucket on her head) I don't know how I got this bucket on my head, but it's like when my great aunt Denise... well... (Sighs) Okay, I can't think a lie for that one... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acres, a loud scream was heard, causing some birds to fly up to the sky in alarm. Inside the house, Granny Smith frowns as she tries to put another needle inside the injured Justin, scowling, "Stop your whining, Justin!" "But you told me this treatment won't hurt!" Justin whines a bit. "Well, it wouldn't if you stop struggling." Granny Smith remarks in annoyance as she does her best not to injure Justin. "This needle pedicure whatchacallit is supposed to work." "Maybe yew should take another gander at 'dis, Granny Smith." Applejack said, showing the book of proper needle care for a patient. After looking at the picture, Granny Smith said in realization, "Ohhh, now I see." "How 'de Sam Hill did 'dis happen? Twilight told me 'dat Diamond Tiara got herself a bodyguard." Applejack said to Apple Bloom in concern. "Ah know. 'Dis bodyguard of Diamond Tiara's must be dangerous." Apple Bloom said in worry. "Ah swear, 'dat girl is going 'ta end up on de' bad side these days." Applejack mumbles a bit as Granny Smith kept on work. The rest of the team came in, Lindsay looks surprised at Justin, saying, "Whoa, Justin! You're turning into a porcupine!" "I just want what's left of my dignity." Justin whines a bit, yelping as Granny Smith poke his tail with a pin. -------------- Lindsay: Wow. Okay, Justin was a creep back in Season 2, but I got to admit: What that big guy did to him was totally was uncalled for. ------------------------- Scott: We're still looking for that statue. (Frowns) Geez, how hard is it to find one lousy statue on a dirt farm?! ---------------------- Scott, Lightning and Brick search the trees. The captain growls, "How hard is it to find one lousy statue; where would Chris or Discord hide a thing?!" "Lightning thinks that it is hidden elsewhere." Lightning said to Scott with a frown. "Lightning still haven't figure out who won the challenge yet." "Well, Scott wants that statue." Scott growls as he enters a building. "Maybe it's in here..." "Uh, Scott, that is a..." Brick begins to say, noticing what Scott is now entering. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH," Scott is heard inside the building as he appears to have fallen into something. The two ponies heard a sound of a 'splash' as well. "...an outhouse." Brick finishes what he is saying with a shrug. --------------- (We see an angry Scott, covered in messy brown stuff and a toilet seat) Scott: (angrily) Ponies should not have to go outside! ------------------ Outside the cottage, Duncan watch as Rainbow flew back. The Unicorn asks eagerly, "Is he alone in there?" "Yep! No one else but him," Rainbow remarks with a grin. "The bait is in place." "Good. Oh, this is going to be awesome." Duncan remarks sinisterly as he and Rainbow rushes away until they found a phone booth. The Unicorn picks up the phone. "Care to do the honors, Miss Dash?" "You got it." Rainbow said with a wink. Rainbow picks up the phone and dials Fluttershy's number. Inside, Harold hears the phone ringing and heads over to answer it. The two inside the phone booth smirks devilishly, waiting. Soon Harold's voice is heard, "Hey, hell...AAAAAAARGGGGGHHHHH!" The two ponies laugh as they high-five one another. Duncan laughs, "Oh yeah; A crank call and a prank; Priceless!" Fluttershy, B and Dawn came back in. The yellow Pegasus pony looks surprised as she saw something, making her ask, "What in Equestria...?" "Don't...ask!" Harold scowled angrily to Fluttershy. The Alicorn now has a banana in his ear which he ended up slamming into his ear, thinking it was a phone thanks to Rainbow's switching without him realizing it. "Is that...a banana in your ear?" Dawn asked, making Harold growl a bit. "DUUUUUUUUNNNNCAAAAAAAAAAANNNN," Harold yelled in rage. ------------- B: Whoa! I got back from the challenge and saw Harold with a banana in his year. Yeah, another prank by Duncan, for sure! -------------- Harold: (banana, still in his ear) Oh, Duncan. If you think this is going to freak me out, guess what! (Yelling) YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!!! (Normal) Okay, I did freak out but watch your flank, because the Alicorn here is going to send ya to a one way ticket to Flank Whoopin' Ville! ------------------- The sisters couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Luna comments, "Oh my. I haven't have this much fun in years." "Yes, indeed , sister." Celestia giggles before calming down. "Still, we got to talk about another problem." "As in the parafried pony one?" Luna ask Celestia, getting concerned. "Have they figure out who was responsible?" "No, and it may get worse. We best get more help from our Mystic Pony friend ASAP." Celestia said seriously, fearing the worst that could happen if this problem were to be ignored. Luna nods as she kept her view on the cameras. ------------ Celestia: (concerned) Folks, we're doing what we can to deal with the latest problem. We just hope that he won't get wind of what's going on. Otherwise...Equestria will be in major trouble than it did when Lorcan came to town. ---------------- Twilight was preparing for another one of her universe viewing spell to get more info on the box. Then a knock came at the door, the Alicorn sighs as she goes over and open it, revealing Lyra and Sweetie Drops outside. "Lyra, Sweetie Drops?" Twilight ask two of her friends in surprise upon seeing them. "What are you doing here?" "Is it true?" Lyra asks Twilight with a smile, "About your relationship?" "Oh what? Come on, me and Ben is doing fine. We..." "Not with Ben, I mean with your teacher!" Twilight blinks, unsure what Lyra is talking about. She then speaks, "Yeah, we are still tight, very tight. As good friends as..." "Lovers," Sweetie Drops ask, causing Twilight to look alarmed. "Yeah, we heard that you two are seeing a lot of each other; More than so than friends. No need to worry, it's okay to love both sides of the gender field!" "What?! Where did you get this dumb idea?!" "Oh, the whole town is talking about it...well, almost." Lyra remarked, chuckling to the annoyed Twilight. "But hey, Ben can be cool with it if..." Twilight cuts off Lyra as she slams the door in her and Sweetie Drops's face. Somepony made up a rumor of her and Celestia and she has a feeling whose it is. The mare goes over to Staci who is reading a magazine and stops upon seeing her arriving. "STACI!" Twilight remarks angrily to Staci, making her look up. Ben and Spike were watching with the rest of the team as the Alicorn continues, "Are you spreading rumors about me and my aunt-in-law, you liar?!" "Sorry, but I was bored. I got tired of talking about my family. So Ben told me how much you and your teacher got closer." Staci explains sheepishly to Twilight, making her more mad. "I just presumed..." "Don't presume anything! I don't want all of Equestria to think my teacher and I are filly foolers!" --------------- Leshawna: (surprised) "Filly foolers"?! Can you get away with saying that on the air?! ------------------- "Staci, when I told you that Twilight and my mom were closer, that doesn't mean they are bi." Ben explains to Staci with a sigh. "You can't go and spread rumors until you are certain of the truth." "What do you expect? She's a liar McGee." Noah remarks in amusement, reading a book. "But it's okay to love both sides!" Staci insists, trying to keep her innocence. "I even saw that Universal Viewer and saw a universe where..." "I don't want to hear it; I don't even want to know!" Twilight snaps angrily to Stacy, causing her to get startled enough to fall out of her chair, "Don't even do that again!" ------------------------------- Anne Maria: Looks like Staci's latest lie ended up causing her the game. I know the princess will not be happy. --------------------------- Staci: So I made a mistake. That doesn't mean I will get eliminated. (Eyes looking back and forth) Err, right? -------------------------------- Celestia shakes her head, looking at the latest confessional. Chris laughs a bit in the jar, saying, "Looks like you found somepony to kick out, hey Mrs. Sparkle?" "Oh, be quiet." Celestia snaps as she uses magic to make a water pail appearing, dumping water right onto Chris, much to his annoyance. "Not cool, bra, not cool. I hope the eliminations were not this hasty." ------------------------------- It came around 6 PM as everyone was done, and everyone was getting ready to go to Canterlot. All four teams had their films ready as they all went straight to the balloons. "If not for this wing..." Heather groaned as she looked at her crippled wing. "Get over it." Leshawna rolled her eyes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: Man, would it be good to just fly around... but nope, I'm stuck with a crippled wing. Well, no matter. I have some back-up anyway... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty soon, all the Total Drama ponies were in Canterlot as they all sat down in front of a theater. Celestia and Luna came out, with Discord holding Chris the Toad in a jar. "So... where's Chris?" Gwen asked, as she looked around. "Right here," Chris yelled... However, only his croaking was heard as everyone blinked in confusion. "What a cute toad!" Lindsay squealed in delight... then paused. "Oh, wait... do I like toads or cats?" "That toad... is your little host friend." Celestia said as she put the jar down. Everyone paused, then laughed as Gwen said, "You turned Chris into a toad? That is hilarious!" "Can you come back to our world and host our seasons from now on?" Heather smiled, "Because I prefer YOU over Chris!" Chris frowned as he heard it from the jar, "Hey, no picking favorites!" Celestia smiled. "Well, thank you for the nice compliment, Heather!" Chris just glared as Celestia coughed. "Anyway, you four captains remember the challenge, right?" "Play the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2." Gwen groaned. "Yes, but... I got upstaged by a rabbit!" "Funny, so did I..." Heather groaned. "I had to conduct the construction of a building!" B said. "I couldn't even GET to performance... I was traumatized by a robber!" Scott complained. "Sorry to say... that was the challenge." Celestia explained. "You see, the challenge was to play the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 while being tortured in some way, shape or form; Chris's idea, not mine!" The captains glared as Gwen said, "You know, I'm tempted to eat frog legs right now..." Chris the Toad yelped as he tried to hop out of the jar to no avail. "Well, we're going to see ALL the tapes, and we're going to be watching them, to see how well you handled BOTH playing the Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 AND how well you handled the torture!" Celestia explained. "Indeed , we have ALL four films ready to view..." Discord said as he picked up the first film. "Shall we start with what happened with Scott today during his practice?" Scott groaned as he said, "Fine, show the tape..." Discord smiled as he put the tape in. Everyone turned their attentions to the screen as it started up... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [center[Earth Pony Productions Presents... The Liarjack Concerto It all started on a beautiful day in Ponyville, in the music store. Scott was getting comfortable in a piano chair as he was tuning up a piano, getting ready for his performance for today. He noticed one piano key standing up. Scott frowned as he tried to push it down, but to no avail. Scott sighed as he looked inside and pulled a string up from the piano to get the key right. Meanwhile, at a nearby bank, gunshots were heard as a robber (known as Liarjack, who was in disguise) pulled out a gun and shot a few blanks before grabbing a few bags of money and running off. One of the Royal Guards, who happened to be visiting that day, yelped as he started to go after the disguised Liarjack. Now, Liarjack was robbing a bank because according to the Superior, they needed money for some supplies, for a just in case scenario. She borrowed a couple of Boris's guns, because just a battle axe isn't REALLY Classic when it came to bank robberies. And it appears that Liarjack needed a place to hide until either somebody came OR until everything's cooled off. Back with Scott, he was practicing... until he looked behind him. He yelped as he saw Liarjack holding a gun to his face. "Okay, buddy, START PLAYING!" Liarjack glared. "Uh, what's all this, then?" Scott asked. "I said, START PLAYING!" Liarjack growled. "Or I fill you full of lead!" "B-but I'm only PRACTICING this piano!" Scott chuckled nervously as he started to play the 'Woody Woodpecker' theme song. "SHUT IT, YOU!" Liarjack yelled as she pointed the gun at Scott, making him yelp. "Make with those keys, buddy!" "Uh, yes sir!" Scott saluted. "And don't stop, or else..." Liarjack growled as she started playing the Funeral March on the piano. Scott yelped as he began playing 'Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2' right away. Outside, the Royal Guard officer came with his whistle blowing, as he stopped by a mailbox... which was right next to a police box... but he ignored it and talked into the mailbox, "Calling all cars! Calling all cars!" The Royal Guard then caught a scent as he noticed that it lead straight into the music store. Scott, noticing the Royal Guard, sighed in relief as he tried to point over to the piano, but yelped as Liarjack peeked out of the piano and aimed the gun at Scott. Scott continued playing as Liarjack frowned. "Faster, buddy!" Scott kept playing as Liarjack picked up a telephone and put it in the piano with her. Liarjack then started to dial a number. "Yo." Rainbow Chaos' voice was heard. "Chaos, this is Liarjack!" Liarjack said on the phone. "I'll be fast. I'm on the lam, and I got a lot of money!" "Got it," Rainbow Chaos nodded. "Me and Crarity will be on our way." "I'm inside the big piano in Melody Mart." Liarjack said. "Right," Rainbow Chaos said. "Come in a moving truck and spring me! And make it quick! That Earth Pony with shark tooth cutie mark's music is driving me nuts!" Liarjack said as she hung up the phone. Back with Scott, the Royal Guard came over and sniffed him... then glared at Scott as he aimed a gun at him... but the bullets fell out. "All right, I got you! Put them up!" "But I'm not a robber! She's...." Scott tried to explain as he put his feet up, trying to point over to the piano, but yelped as he saw the gun being pointed by Liarjack. Scott kept playing as Liarjack whispered, "Keep up the good work, Stroganoff!" The Royal Guard, not noticing Liarjack or the bags of money surrounding him, glared at Scott. "All right, wise guy, where's that money? Start talking!" Scott, being hopeless, tried to point over to the top of the piano... and yelped as he saw Liarjack's gun once again. Scott kept playing as the Royal Guard frowned, "Ah, phooey!" The Royal Guard groaned as he just sat down on the bags of money (breaking them), again NOT NOTICING THEM! Scott frowned as he tried to whisper, "Hey, buddy! The dough is right there! The dough! The-" Scott yelped as he noticed Liarjack's gun pointing to him. Scott then started the fast part of the song as he hummed "Do-de-do-do-de-do!" "You crazy old guys is just the killer type!" The Royal Guard frowned. Scott yelped upon hearing that. He looked towards outside as he noticed the police box outside. He imagined himself there, pulling the phone out as he tried to explain the situation. Scott then imagined him in the morgue... then smiled when he realized he could be a hero! So, he attempted to sneak out as he hopped from his piano to another piano, then to a harp , then rolled an xylophone outside... and yelped as he backed away, playing on Rainbow Chaos and Crarity's guns as he ran back to the piano and started playing again. That got the Royal Guard up as he looked around. "Which way did he go?" "Good day sir. We have come to move the giant piano." Crarity said. "Right this way, ladies." The Royal Guard smiled as Rainbow Chaos and Crarity walked right past the Roy- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of a sudden, the thing ended as it started skipping. Everyone blinked. "Wait... what the hell?" Scott blinked as he saw that the video was skipping for some weird reason. Discord frowned as he jiggled the projector, but it failed to play the video. "Hmmm... I think the disc was scratched. How did this happen?" "Lindsay..." Every one of the TD Earth Ponies said as they turned to Lindsay, who shrunk nervously. "Well... I was in the middle of editing the video, and I noticed the title had an error, so I corrected it... and I may have spilt some toner on the other half of the film..." Lindsay chuckled nervously. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: Seriously? Who thought it was a good idea to put LINDSAY in charge of editing? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: (trying to balance her crown) I was painting my nails, Leshawna, Dawn and Bridgette were doing their own thing... and I was trying to see what I could do... I corrected an error, and I think I spilt some of my nail polish on some of the scenes on there... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia paused as she turned. "Well, I think we lost the footage. Afraid we can't get it back. So, I'm sorry, but that's an invalid entry. We'll give you points for at least trying to do something." Scott sighed in relief. "So, why don't you tell us how it all came out, Lightning," Celestia asked. "Well, the Royal Guard noticed the money, started a chase scene with those weird ponies and Scott, his cart was shot and turned into different vehicles, the pony that was in the piano got scared because the piano and Scott were flying, and the Royal Guard caught Liarjack, and Scott went through some crazy laugh." Lightning summarized. "And what an ordeal that was." Scott sighed. Everyone laughed as Scott rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, laugh. But I was traumatized!" "Well, it doesn't matter." Luna said. "Why don't we look at the next film...Heather's performance?" Everyone nodded as Luna put in the video as it started to play... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Pegasus Story The Pegasus Concerto It was time for a very special performance on stage as everyone was taking their seats, waiting for the performer to come in and play their piece. The spotlight then shone on the stage as a Well-dressed Heather walked in on stage, bowing before the audience before she sat down on the chair and started to adjust her seat. She then pulled out a cloth from her dress and wiped her hooves as she put it away. She nodded to the conductor as he tapped his conducting stick, ready for the performance. Heather nodded as she began to play the tune 'Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2'. It started out normal enough as she looked towards the band, took a break as she wiped her hands and shuffled her dress as she continued to play the music. For about a minute, she started to play it slow, take it easy as she kept performing. However, little did she know that within the piano was a small white rabbit named Angel, who happened to be taking a nap inside this very piano; however, the way that Heather played moved the keys to the point where it woke the rabbit up. Angel looked over as he saw Heather was playing the song. He climbed up to the rim as he started to conduct the music. Much to Heather's notice, her eyes widened when she saw Angel up on the piano. Heather frowned as she used one of her hooves to flick Angel away, while she kept focused. Angel, understandably, was mad as she got up and slid under a piano key. Heather, noticing, frowned as she started to use her finger to bash the key with Angel still under it. Angel tried running around, making more of the music, but Heather smirked as she slammed her fingers on the keys, squashing Angel. Heather nodded as she continued to play the music normally... until she noticed that two of the piano keys were still moving. Heather frowned as she saw Angel playing around with the keys. Heather then picked up a small piece of pipe as she bonked Angel on the head, rendering him unconscious for a moment. Heather continued to play the piece as Angel snuck out from behind the piano case, frowning as he slammed the piano case right onto Heather's hooves, squashing them flat as Heather yelped in pain, getting to the fast part of the music. As Heather continued playing, Angel peeked in from behind a door in the piano and held out a small axe with a large handle as he tried to cut off Heather's hoof, but missed six times. Angel panted as he just frowned, looking up at Heather. He then took off two piano keys and replaced them with a mousetrap as Heather started playing the keys in between the mousetrap. Her hoof then picked on the mousetrap as it slammed on her, Heather yelping as the hoof started to grow big. Heather glared as Angel was now dancing on the piano keys. Heather growled as she started playing as Angel hopped over the piano. Heather glared as she kept playing. Heather sighed as she was starting to enjoy the music as it started to go into a ragtime rhythm. Heather then blinked as she did a double take. She realized she wasn't playing the correct music, and noticed Angel was dancing on the keys to a ragtime rhythm. Heather glared as she slammed the keys as Angel noticed and made funny faces at her. On the fourth time, with Angel doing an Egyptian pose, Heather grabbed Angel and put him under her seat as Heather continued playing. However, that was a big mistake as Angel started playing around with her seat adjuster, causing Heather to slam down on the keys. Heather glared as she grabbed Angel and put him in between the inside of the pianos' keys as it started to slam on Angel, Heather playing the climax of the song. After a few beatings from the piano, causing him to be slammed and spanked by the piano keys, Angel finally had enough as he got up and pulled out two piano keys that Heather wasn't using as Heather slowed down the piece. Heather nodded as she knew the final part of the music was coming up... then all of a sudden, much to Heather's notice, the final part of the music started playing by itself. It was Angel, playing the final part in frustration, to get Heather humiliated. Heather then pretended to put her fingers on the keys as it started to get to the near end. Heather then played the first two beats to end the song... but then the final part started all over again as Heather gasped. She started to pretend again as her dress was starting to fall apart. Heather tried to do the first two beats of the ending of the song again...ONLY for the final part to begin again as Heather gasped in horror. Will this sequence never end? Heather started to pretend to play the notes as she was now panting. She played the first beat of the ending of the song as her sleeves from the dress came off, her mane was unfurled at the second beat, and the third beat had Heather ready to faint. She played the last three beats of the song as she fell down, panting. What an ordeal that was! Everybody applauded as Angel, now dressed in a tuxedo, came out and smiled, bowing to everyone as the spotlight shone on him. Angel was certainly glad he finished the piece with ease... THE END A PEGASUS STORY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone laughed as Heather sighed. "I'm still exhausted from playing that piece!" Heather sighed. "I watched it all from the concert hall. It was hilarious before, it's hilarious now!" Gwen laughed as Heather glared at her. Izzy paused as she said, "I don't think ANYBODY is going to be doing a dramatic reading of this, since this is a pretty long episode..." "Speaking of which..." Celestia said as Luna pulled out the next film. "I believe about a few moments before Heather's performance, Gwen made a similar one." Gwen yelped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Oh great... I have to watch MYSELF be humiliated by a rabbit... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna then put the next video in as it started to play... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unicorn Productions Presents... Rhapsody Goth Girl Everybody was in their seats as they waited for a very special performance as the curtain went up. The spotlight then shone on the stage as Gwen, dressed up very nicely, came out and did a curtsy as she took off her gloves (taking her left one off first as it was revealed to be a mitten, a long magician's glove and then taking off the right one revealing a short rubber glove and a boxing glove) to reveal piano playing gloves. She cracked her knuckles as she sat down in her seat, flipping the piano book. Gwen nodded. She was ready. However, before Gwen could start playing, she suddenly heard coughing. Gwen glared right at the camera as she tapped her foot, sighing. Gwen nodded as the coughing died down. She started to get ready to play again... only for the coughing to start back up. Gwen, annoyed, materialized a gun from her horn and used it to shoot the coughing person (Courtney, who was holding the camera and coughing) as the coughing died down. Gwen then tossed the gun aside as she sat down, ready to play. Gwen then started to play the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, normally for a moment then started improvising as she ate a carrot and tapped her teeth to get two more notes out of it. Gwen gave a little smirk as she decided to have a little fun with the piece. She started playing the piece a little fast as she got her hooves tangled up somehow. Gwen groaned as she pulled them off the one piano key and straightened them out. Gwen then started playing the piece again as she started having fun as she started dancing around to the music, tapping two notes... when all of a sudden, a phone started to ring. Gwen blinked as she picked up the phone. "Hello?" Gwen asked. "Uh... is... uh, Megan Fahlenbock there?" Duncan's voice was heard on the phone. "Who," Gwen blinked. "Megan Fahlenbock..." Duncan's voice was pausing. "Megan Fahlenbock? Never heard of her," Gwen said. "...sorry..." Duncan's voice was heard as the phone hung up. Gwen chuckled nervously to the audience as she said, "Eh, wrong number." Gwen shook her head as she continued to put focus on her piece. During that time, a small brown rabbit by the name of Cubby was peeking from the inside of the piano, watching Gwen played. Cubby gave a smirk; he was so going to have fun with this! "Figaro, Figaro!" Gwen sang a little as she started to sing a bit of opera. Gwen nodded as she continued playing... but Cubby poked out and played the key before she could play it. Gwen stared in confusion each time then got frustrated after the fourth time as she tried to swat Cubby away. Gwen gave an evil smirk as she put a mousetrap in front of the door where Cubby was poking out. Gwen chuckled evilly as she did the piece again... but Cubby surprised Gwen by coming out and playing the last two notes on a flute. Gwen tried to capture the rabbit, but it hopped back in the door as Cubby took back the flute. Gwen then materialized four small boards, a hammer and some nails and quickly hammered the door so that Cubby wouldn't enter through it. Once that was done, Gwen decided to flip some pages... yelping as she saw that there was a sexy picture of Trent on there, then smiled nervously as she continued flipping through the pages, until she came back to the right music. Gwen then started to play again, but noticed Cubby poking from behind the book, wondering what Gwen was doing. Gwen frowned as she decided to play secretive, but Cubby's curiosity peaked him. It eventually became like this until Gwen looked up for one moment, looking for the rabbit, then yelped, noticing Cubby was laying on the piano keys covered by her hands. Cubby then hopped off, running through the piano keys, then waving to Gwen as he dove into one of the piano keys. Gwen, deciding to ignore it, just continued on with the piece until she came to the end of the slow part of the music. As the applause started, all of a sudden, she started hearing some oldies music as Gwen looked around in confusion. Gwen then noticed Cubby dancing on the keys, playing this type of music. Gwen paused as she decided to play along with it, going with the music as her hooves came closer to the dancing mouse. As soon as the music stopped, Gwen slammed the piano key door right on the mouse, smirking... until Gwen heard the music of 'Chopsticks' coming out. Gwen growled as she materialized dynamite from her horn, lit it and threw it in the key door, keeping it closed as it exploded. Gwen sighed as the death music started to play... then paused as she realized that Cubby somehow SURVIVED the explosion. As soon as Gwen lifted the door up, Cubby pulled out a mallet and hit her on the head with it. After recovering, Gwen continued playing the piece as she went to the fast portion. Gwen smirked as she lifted her hand. "Look, one hand!" Gwen then lifted her other hand as the music was still playing. "No hands!" This was because she was playing it with her feet. As soon as she was done, she started to play the piano like a typewriter literally, a couple of times. Gwen then banged her head on some of the piano keys to get the notes right as she started to aggressively play the piano. She then started hopping on the piano, then tip-toing on it a couple of times. Inside the piano, Cubby was running from the piano keys as he panted a couple of times. As he was cornered, the hammers came close to hitting Cubby... but they went away as Cubby fainted in relief. Gwen then started to play the piano aggressively again as she hopped and tip-toed on the piano a couple of times again. Gwen then started lifting the keys four times to get the right notes as she let them fall. Gwen sighed as she started to slow down, flipping the page. Gwen then yelped as she noticed that the climax of the music was coming up, and it was really difficult. Gwen nodded as she got up, oiled her hands and started to pray. Gwen nodded as she was about to play... but then she heard the climax of the music starting. Gwen looked around, confused. She wasn't playing this! Gwen then noticed the spotlight shining on Cubby, wearing a tuxedo, playing the climax of the song as he finished the entire climax in one go. Everyone applauded for Cubby as he took a bow. Gwen, staring in disbelief, couldn't believe she was upstaged by a rabbit. She played the last three notes as she muttered some curse words. Unicorn Story "That's All, Folks!" A Unicorn Production ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as the movie ended, we see everyone was laughing a little bit as Gwen sighed. "Really, it was just more ANNOYING than it was torture." Gwen sighed. "Regardless, you still shot your camera girl." Luna said. "That's going to be major points taken off once we get to that..." Gwen sighed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gwen: Still can't believe I was upstaged by a RABBIT... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, final one. Let's see B's performance." Celestia said as Chef popped the Alicorns' reel in. Everyone paused as the story started... ------------------ Alicorn Productions Presents... Rhapsody in Ali-vets It was near three o' clock as everyone was preparing to build a very large tower. The construction worker ponies were preparing as everyone was preparing to work, whilst making music at the same time. The conductor, B, came out with some formulated plans for the tower as applause from around came out. B bowed as he put the sheets into the podium, and used a ruler to get everyone's attention. He raised his arms as everyone got their power tools ready to get to work on that building. B looked around as he started to conduct the workers, as if playing the Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2. B conducted as a worker with a power screw pounded in all the screws, some people hammered large nails. B then pointed to someone... who happened to sleeping. B frowned as he tried to get the sleeping person to do his cue. B sighed as he picked up a brick and threw it at the sleeping guy, who woke up instantly when the brick made contact with his helmet, causing him to hammer a small nail to the beat. B nodded as he continued conduction, a construction pony using a saw like a violin on a piece of wood. People used switching pick-axes and some shoveling devices to move the building stones. Outside the work of construction, a very late Derpy Hooves, who happened to have a second job in construction, came in late as she hung everything up and started work while banging a hammer on an elevator's rim. Other ponies used shovels to shovel wet cement into a cement mixer, which mixed itself while shaking as it was dumped into a wheel barrow, which another pony took and walked funny. B nodded as he pulled out a stop sign and waved his hands, getting everyone's attention. B nodded as he started conducting again... and when he got to the sleeping guy, he instantly woke up and banged on the nail before B could get a chance to throw another brick at him to get him up. B smiled as he flipped over to the second page, which happened to be the fast part of this procedure. B nodded as he started to conduct, as everyone was moving on to the second floor. Derpy happened to be hammering the same elevator rim, unaware that the elevator took her up to the near top and she was now hammering an innocent pony. Derpy's eyes widened as she looked towards nothing in confusion. Every one of the construction was hammering a nail to the rhythm as it instantly poked their flanks, as they jumped in shock. Derpy ran right downstairs to the second floor to keep working as the elevator looked like it was going to fall right on Derpy... but then it moved sideways and around Derpy as it kept going down. Two guys were digging as they were burying each other. One pony was trying to move up the ladder with a pile of bricks, but kept being blocked by other ponies going down. B kept conducting as he smiled. It was tough, but he was getting it done. Two big ponies were using small hammers to hammer a wooden stake as a small pony used a mallet to hammer the same stake. Back with the pony with the bricks, he growled in frustration as he ditched his hat and bricks as he started flying up to the top, knocking any climbing ponies out of the way as he made it. But then the elevator he landed in took him all the way to the first floor. The pony could do nothing but wallow in shame. Two ponies were hammering a wooden stake when a big pony hammered a small pony inside his hat as he started to waddle around in it. Meanwhile, another pony was stacking bricks as he was panting each time. B was doing the same thing while conducting, panting as well. The music kept building up as the building kept growing and growing, continuing to be built, bricks being stacked. B looked ready to collapse, willing to finish the piece. He looked over and noticed that it was getting close to five! Not good, the video is going to be due soon! B then gave a whistle as he started to do the climax, finishing up the building in spare time. The construction pony then ended the music as he put down a flag on top of the huge tower. Everyone then applauded as B gave a bow; certainly, a good triumph, but a big ordeal. Of course, as soon as Derpy came out the door of the tower and slammed the door, the tower started to fall apart as B yelped. Derpy blinked as B glared at her. Derpy giggled nervously as three bricks landed on B. B sighed. Something just HAD to go wrong, didn't it? Alicorn Story "That's All, Folks!" An Alicorn Production --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone applauded as B sighed. Celestia noticed as she asked, "Exhausted, are we?" "A little bit. You have no idea how hard conducting the building of a tower is... I can't believe it collapsed right on all of us, though." B sighed. Celestia nodded as she turned to everyone. "Well, that is all the films; give us a minute while we tally the results." Everyone waited a little patiently as Celestia, Luna, Discord and Chef turned as they whispered. Chris the Toad tried to listen in from the jar, but he couldn't hear much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dawn: At this point, I think we got this. B had managed to take his torture well, AND he managed to do this with no problem. (Blushes) Yeah, I think he's got this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lightning: (bashing his head against the wall) Stupid Lindsay, we are going to lose because of this mistake! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: (still laughing) Watching Heather being humiliated like that with that Angel rabbit of Fluttershy's... that was so hilarious, I think I'm going to die! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trent: (sighing) Watching Gwen being humiliated like that with that Cubby rabbit of Fluttershy's... I felt sorry for her. Hopefully, it doesn't make impact with our mistakes... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia nodded as she turned to the others. "We have officially decided. Fourth place... the Unicorns." Gwen looked up in surprise. "What? Why? Is it because I shot Courtney in the shoulder? I'm sorry about that!" "Besides that fact, no, that's not the reason why." Celestia said. "Technically, you never finished your piece. The rabbit did that. So, I'm sorry, but that's invalid." "What?" Gwen said in shock. "My being upstaged by a rabbit cost me?" "That's the way it goes." Luna shrugged. "Onto first place, the Alicorns got it cinched." Discord smiled. Cody smiled as he said, "No doubt about that!" "Agreed," DJ smiled. "Thank you." B smiled. "With your persistence to finish the building and that video, you felt the torture of hard work." Celestia explained. "That is something to be proud of." The Alicorns cheered as Chef nodded. "Now, between the Pegasuses AND the Earth Ponies..." "Just give second place to the Pegasuses; we KNOW we screwed up our video." Scott groaned. "Well, from what we've seen, you were being tortured, and even though we never saw the ending to that episode... we managed to get some of the feedback from the cameras, and it does say that YOU DID finish the piece. So, we'll give you another chance AND bump you to second!" The Earth Ponies gasped as they celebrated. "YAY," Lindsay smiled as she started to dance. "This is awesome!" Owen smiled. "Great." Eva sighed. "Guess we can relax ..." Dakota blinked as she said, "Wait, why are we getting third? Heather got tortured AND played the piece perfectly!" "Yes, but as you can see, technically, she FINGERED the last notes, which was really played by Angel." Luna explained. "So, Heather never finished the piece." Leshawna frowned as she turned to everyone. "Hey Flying Pegasuses, let's thank the cripple for faking her piano playing on the last notes." "Thanks, Heather." The Flying Pegasus teammates said in a sarcastic tone of voice. "Come on, I wasn't ready for it! How was I supposed to know?" Heather defended herself. "Well, doesn't matter." Celestia said. "Magical Unicorns, Flying Pegasi, you are the last two teams, we'll see you tonight at another elimination." Chris the Toad croaked as Celestia picked up the jar. "No, Chris, I think you should sit this one. You've got warts." Chris the Toad just glared as Chef took the jar, and everyone started to leave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back at the Carousel Boutique, as Geoff and Bridgette walked in, Bridgette sighed as she looked over to Geoff, "Hey, Geoff, can we talk for a second?" "Sure, Bridge." Geoff said as he and Bridgette walked over to the sides. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: Well, this is it. I have to tell him we have to swear off each other until further notice. Hopefully, Geoff understands... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soon, Geoff and Bridgette started talking with each other. "So what's up, dudette," Geoff asks Bridgette, looking worried as he notes the serious look on her face. Not good, he saw this when Gwen and Trent broke up on TDA. "Look, I'm thinking that maybe we should..." Bridgette said in hesitation. "We should..." "Should what? Come on, out with it!" Geoff exclaims, getting worried. "...break up for now." Bridgette said with a sigh, getting to what she feared on doing. "Huh? Why? Did I do something wrong?" Geoff asked, fearing the worst. "I didn't throw anything for ya, did I? I wasn't lusting for anyone..." "No, no, it isn't that. You are the coolest boyfriend any girl wouldn't ask for." Bridgette said, not wishing to hurt Geoff's feelings. "So what's wrong?" Geoff asks Bridgette in concern. Bridgette sighs, saying, "It's just...our making out is freaking our friends out, even the princesses are probably thinking one of us should go. Plus, I need to focus on this game and our making out sessions is a distraction." "I thought you didn't like this game." Geoff points out to his girlfriend. It's true, Bridgette didn't like going back to this insane game that Chris always put her and the others through. "Still don't...but I want to at least try to win this time, instead of making mistakes like Jo, Alejandro and Cameron has done." Bridgette said with a sigh. "So...this is it?" Geoff asks Bridgette, being painfully hurt. "Yeah, but don't worry. Once this game is over, it will be all right." Bridgette said, nuzzling Geoff a bit before leaving. The stallion sighs. -------------- Geoff: (upset) Chris, I hope you're happy now. Your game ruined another relationship! (Pause) For now. -------------- Geoff took out a soda from the fridge and drank it. Trent trots over, seeing a sad look that he knows of. "Let me guess, Bridgette broke up with ya, huh?" Trent asks Geoff, knowing what the answer is going to be. "What do you think?" Geoff replied with a rhetorical question in a depressed tone. "Man, I'm sorry. I know what's it like. I was devastated when Gwen and I broke up back in season 2. It sucks," Trent remarks, sighing a bit. He pats Geoff on the back, saying, "Don't worry. I'm sure you will get Bridgette back. You two went through break ups before." "Unlike you; you haven't got back with Gwen or gotten a girl yet." Geoff remarks with a grunt, making Trent frown a bit. --------------- Trent: Geoff is seriously going through a hard time. It sucks having the girl you go through leave ya because of some mistakes. (Pause) Kinda like what I did with Gwen. ---------------------- "I TOLD YOU, PONIES! MY TEACHER AND I ARE STRAIGHT!" Twilight exclaims angrily, using her magic to toss out any ponies who believed in Staci's rumor of the princess and Celestia being...'more than just student and teacher'. "Awww, it's all right. There's no reason to be ashamed." Caramel remarks to Twilight with a smile. "It's cool to be bi..." "Shut up!" Twilight exclaims furiously, slamming the door shut. The mare trots in, hearing the phone rang before using her magic to pull the cord out of the wall. "Geez, Twilight, calm down." Spike said in concern. "Those rumors will die down." "Well, they won't as long as the big fat liar is still here!" Twilight exclaims angrily, glaring at the nervous Staci. "Thanks to her, ponies think I have gone through the love door twice!" "I'm getting tired of this, too!" Nyx agreed angrily, "If I still had my powers of Nightmare Moon, I'd give Staci the fright of her life until her main and tail turn white with fright!" "You kinda do, in a way." Phobos remarked, eating a sandwich. "Ponies, if she's not gone by the time you get back from Canterlot..." Twilight begins to say to the Flying Pegasus furiously. "Oh, don't you worry; she'll be gone by the time we get back." Anne Maria commented, giving a glare to Staci. "She better and this madness with Mommy and Grandma better end. Otherwise..." Nyx started angrily then she yelled out with the Royal Canterlot voice while glaring deathly at Staci, "I'LL ROAST HER BLABBERMOUTH HEAD ON A STICK!!!" Hearing this threat got Staci to huddle in fear. ------------ Staci: Okay, I admit, I messed up. But they couldn't have to take it out on me, right? This is like the time when... Pinkie: (popping in) and that's enough from you. Until next time, Bronies! --------------------------- A knock came at the door. Twilight frowns, preparing to yell at the ponies thinking she is bi. But once the mare opens the door, Flash is outside. "Oh, Flash." Ben said in relief, seeing his best friend at the door. "What brings you here?" "Two things, I came to pick up the ponies here for their visit to Canterlot. Also, this," Flash said, giving a scroll to Twilight who opens it, seeing a photo of some horse. "The princess is warning cities of Equestria to be aware of a certain individual who may be responsible for an attack on a pony not too long ago." "Why didn't she say so before?" Twilight ask Flash in concern. "She didn't want to make a panic just yet. The princess wishes to give out the warning slowly until we are certain of what we're dealing with." Flash explains seriously. "I see. Well, we will make sure to keep an eye out." Twilight said, the rest of the Flying Pegasus looks concerned. ------------ Heather: Okay, some complaints about this game: Like the fact that some of those dopes make fun of me when I got a crippled wing. Okay, I admit, I deserve it for my evil activities, but I wasn't even ready! Also, why is there a murderer living under Sugarcube Corner? ------------- Pinkamena: (frowns) Hey, I ain't no murderer. I am a good pony, I just look this way; but can't tell ya my whole story. For more details for the story that comes after this crossover, please check out 'No Cupcakes with This Pinkie'! ------------------ Heather: But a terrorist attack that Celestia isn't checking on 24/7? Yeah, okay, just a slow one, probably not to alert the public. So why do so now? (Pause) Is this trashing? Because, I got to say, who cares? ---------------------- Rarity is saying her goodbyes to the Magical Unicorns. She notes Geoff's depressed look while Bridgette heads off. "What's wrong with them?" Rarity asks some of the ponies in concern. "They just broke up." Mike explains to Rarity in concern. "Broke up?!" Rarity asked in shock. "Yeah, the whole freaking ponies out because of them making out was too much." Zoey said with a nod. "Of course, this is a break up for now. Who knows what will happen?" Rarity sighs, wanting to speak to the broken lovers. She came out...and yelps as she and the Magical Unicorns got eggs thrown at them by Rainbow and Duncan throwing eggs and toilet paper. "Ha ha ha; there's one for the road!" Duncan laughs as he and Rainbow high hoof one another and rush off. "Duncan!!!" Gwen shouted in irritation and rage as the two pranksters run off. -------- Gwen: (annoyed) you know, I am sooooo glad that Duncan and I broke up. Because I wish so much to hit him the next time I see that jerk. In fact, that's what I do as soon as he'd get himself eliminated once and for all! From now on, he's my enemy! ------------ It was a long train ride to Canterlot. Upon arrival, Flash takes the two teams into the throne room where Celestia, Luna and Discord are waiting for them. Chris is...still toady. "Since Chris is 'taking a break', I shall do his part of the hosting duties. Flying Pegasus, sit on down in the stands, we shall do the last place team first." Discord said. The Flying Pegasus heads over to the stands, waiting for their turn. "Since this is the Magical Unicorns' first time here for this elimination, let me explain; the princesses looked at the footage and made some careful decisions. We are using cupcakes this time so anypony who doesn't get a cupcake tonight, their game is over and they don't come back...EVER." "Now then, first off the Magical Unicorns' cupcakes. When you hear your name, come on and get your cupcake." Celestia said with a nod as she looks off the list. "Katie." "Yay," Katie giggles as she trots over to take her own cupcake. "Sadie." Luna said, making Sadie smile as she comes over to get her own cupcake. "Courtney." Courtney smiles as she came over to get her own cupcake. The mare mumbles, "Looks like I'm safe...for now." "Ahem...Mike, Zoey, you two are safe." Celestia said, the couple smiles as Mike and Zoey came over and got their own cupcakes. "Trent." Trent trots over and got his own cupcake. Only Gwen, Geoff and Bridgette are safe. Who will get their cupcake next? "Bridgette." Luna said. Bridgette nods as she came over and gets her own cupcake. "Let's see...we got two more and one cupcake left. Gwen? You sadly mess up in the challenge, being upstaged by a rabbit. Shame on you," Discord teases, making Gwen frown a bit. "And then, there's Geoff, the horny stallion who is back on the single train, whose activities almost made the Mane Six blind." "Geez, why don't you tell the whole world,why don't ya?" Geoff asks with a groan of annoyance. "Regardless, that is something I cannot ignore. The last cupcake for the Magical Unicorns goes to..." Celestia said, pausing a bit; everyone else in the room watches, wondering who will get the boot next. The princess finally spoke. "Gwen." Geoff looks down as Gwen came over and got her cupcake. Even Bridgette felt sad and guilty. For her former boyfriend has gone through a breakout, now an eviction. "Well, looks like you will be taking the long way home, my horny friend." Discord chuckles a bit as Celestia and Luna changes Geoff back to normal. "Yeah, well, can I at least say goodbye to Bridgette first?" Geoff asks Discord, wanting to say goodbye to Bridgette at first. "I will give you to the count of three. 1, 2..." Discord begins to say then he makes his black hole appears, causing Geoff to get sucked into it. "GOOOOOODBBBBBYYYYYE," Geoff screams as he is sucked out of the room before Discord closes the black hole. "3." Bridgette looks even worst. Luna said to the Magical Unicorns, "You may wait outside until the Flying Pegasus got their own elimination ceremony done." "It will be okay." Katie said to Bridgette as the remaining members of the Magical Unicorns. "Right, not like this is first time you dump him." Sadie said without thinking, causing Bridgette to whine in sadness. "Oops. Sorry." "Now then, may our next set of losers come in, please," Discord order. The Flying Pegasus flew off the stands and lands in a while, waiting for their turn. "Okay, you all did this before so you know the drill. When you hear your names, come up and get your cupcakes." Celestia begins reading off the list, "First off...Heather." The Flying Pegasus groans as Heather slyly came over and got her own cupcake, being safe, "Leshawna." Leshawna shrugs as she came over and got her cupcake. Yeah, Heather is safe, but so is Leshawna. "Sam." Luna said, calling off the next name, making Sam smiles as he came over and got his next cupcake, "Dakota." "Yes!" Dakota giggles, coming over to get her next cupcake, standing next to her lover Sam in the progress. "Tyler, you're safe." Celestia said, making Tyler grins as he came over to get his next cupcake. The Alicorn of the Sun checks the next name. "Next off...Anne Maria." Anne Maria came over and got her next cupcake, keeping her safe in the game. Only 3 are left: Staci, Noah and Izzy. "Noah." Luna said as Noah came over to get his own cupcake. "Izzy, Staci, you are the only two left in this thing." Discord said with a smirk to the remaining two. "Izzy...actually, can't think of why. Maybe because you're crazy," Izzy has her eyes crossed, giving out a creepy smile. "Staci? The liar, you went too far in that rumor with two certain princesses being more than 'just friends'." "Something I cannot tolerate especially when it comes to both mine and Twilight's love style....which is why I will save the drama and give the final cupcake to Izzy." Celestia said sternly, making Izzy smiles as she came over. Staci looks disappointed. "Sorry, but enough is enough." Staci is changed back to normal; Discord spoke up, "Any last words?" "Well..." Staci begins to say but the same hole black hole appears, causing her to scream as she got suck in before it disappeared. "Never mind! Would've been lies anyhow," Discord laughs cruelly. After calming down, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony turn to the camera. "Well, that was so much fun! Two more weirdoes bit the dust. What will the remaining players deal with next? And will Chris ever be back to normal? Who knows? Who cares? But make sure you tune in for another smashing episode of..." As Discord speaks the final lines, the camera goes away from him before ending outside of Canterlot. "Total...Drama...Equestria!!!" -------------------- The unknown horse who hasn't been seen a while stop a moment to rest. He hasn't found his secret weapon...yet. But once the villain does, all will fall... ----------------- We see clips of the next episode... An announcer is heard, "On the next Total Drama Equestria: one pony is in depression..." We see Bridgette in her room, blowing in tissues while groaning, "Go away! Leave me to my depression!" "Someone is depressed over her breakup. Will her friends or the Mane Six be able to save her from an unhealthy depression? And where's Chris?!" Chris, as his toad, croaks in irritation. "Okay, never mind. Make sure you don't miss the next episode of Total Drama Equestria, coming soon!!!!"
