//------------------------------// // Episode Five: Bridgette the Brush Off // 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." -------------------------------- Discord: Hello, this is Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, filling in for Chris who got a 'toad' in his throat right now; Heh heh. Anyway, last time on Total Drama Equestria, after Chris makes an appearance as robotic Chris McColt, Duncan is switched over to the Groundin' Earth Ponies. Then he challenge the team captains to play the Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two...with hilarious twists and chaos; Oooh, how I love it. Duncan, the criminal from juvie, got a partner in prank pulling in the form of Rainbow Dash, pulling pranks on Harold as well as the numerous crank calls on Twilight Sparkle. Ben has a talk with Chase, but that isn't important. Also, does Dawn have a crush on B? How interesting. Anyway, things got spicy when our favorite love birds Geoff and Bridgette took their love making...which ends up freaking out the Elements of Harmony. I have no idea how that position is possible. Justin got on the bad side of Diamond Tiara and ends up meeting the front hooves of her bodyguard Maxin Talos. Oooh, he will need more than needles to fix him. Anyway, Staci ends up spreading rumors about Twilight and Celestia being, as you may say...'other mates'? Celestia: (sternly) don't even think it, Discord. Discord: Sorry! Anyway, the teams took a look at their performances on the piano; the Groundin' Earth Ponies' video got messed up due to Lindsay's editing skills. However, Gwen and Heather's inability to finish their pieces cost them dearly. And alas poor Geoff and Bridgette, the two has to call off their relationship. And Geoff ends up being sucked out of Equestria, followed by the Big Fat Liar known as Staci. We see Discord drinking tea while eating biscuits. Chef is in the background trying to find a spell to restore Chris the Toad back to normal. The chimera said, "And thus, only 34 team players are left and things are about to get more chaotic. Oh yes, I hope you got your PJs and sodas ready. I Triple Dog Dare You to miss this new episode we got called...Total...Drama...EQUESTRIA!" Discord 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 Five: Bridgette the Brush Off It was another morning in Ponyville which is greeted by...loud crying that almost startles all of Equestria. The ponies look confused, wondering who is crying. "What's going on?" Applejack asks in concern. The cowpony was bringing in apples to sell for the day when this happened, "Where 'de Sam Hill is 'dat crying coming fro'?!" "It's coming from Rarity's place." Rainbow remarked, frowning as she sees that the crying is coming from the Carousel Boutique. "What is that Drama Queen crying about now?!" Twilight decides that the rest of the Mane Six must find. The mares go over to the door and knocks on it. Rarity, surprisingly not crying, opens it, asking, "Yes?" "Rarity," Twilight ask Rarity blinking in confusion. The crying continues on. "If that isn't you crying, then who..." "Oh dear; It's poor Bridgette. The poor dear broke up with Geoff yesterday and before he got assigned." "Funny; you sure freak out when they were making out before." Rainbow remarks dryly to Rarity. "Yes, yes, but even I know the poor love when I hear it." Rarity sighs in sadness. The rest of the TD cast, especially the ones who were on their way to Sugar Cube Corner, came over. DJ spoke up, "What's going on? Who's crying?" Zoey peeks out, saying, "It's Bridgette. Can we talk to the rest of you upstairs?" ------------------------------ Brady: Geez, the girl is freaking out; her crying is disturbing our peace! ----------------- Upstairs, the gang got around. Lightning demands, "Okay, Lightning demands to know why am I not running around, showing off right now?!" "Geoff and Bridgette broke up last night and right before Geoff was eliminated." Gwen explains with a sigh. "Oh yeah, I remember." Dakota said in concern. "Poor Bridgette was sad on the way over." "'Poor Bridgette'," Heather remarks mockingly. She snaps, "Stop treating her like she's Queen Bee." "That's your job, right?" Noah remarks, "So why not just come in and talk to her?" "Leave me alone!" Bridgette is heard sobbing from inside her room. "I want to be alone." "Awww, come on, Bridgette!" Beth exclaims in worry, knocking on the door. "Come out. You can't stay in there forever." Inside the room, Bridgette is blowing in tissues while groaning, "Go away! Leave me to my depression!" ----------- Bridgette: (blowing into tissues) Breaking up with Geoff again...was the worst ever. I don't want to end up like Gwen and fall in love with a jerk whose I would break up with later! I ain't that kind of girl! ------------------ Ezekiel: Okay, Bridgette needs some help. And I, being an expert on woman, know how, eh. ----------- "Why not get a mare to talk with Bridgette?" Ezekiel suggests, making the others glare at him. "Not being a sexist. I mean, get some mare whose has love issues...maybe calm her down." "Ugh, for the love of..." Eva remarked, getting angry. "Wait, for once, Ezekiel got something." Cody spoke up, much to the others' surprise. "We need some pony to speak with her...but not one of us." "Oooh, Cody! You always know what to say!" Sierra exclaims with an exciting grin, making Cody disturbed." "Yeeeeeah; Look, we need someone or a pony who could speak with her." --------------- Heather: Obviously it isn't one of us, especially me. I am no motivational speaker. So I decided on the right mare to get Bridgette to shut the buck up! --------------------- Heather goes downstairs and gets Twilight's attention, saying, "Hey Princess. We need your help with Bridgette. Get her out of her funk." Twilight blinks a bit, then nods, saying, "Okay, I will see what I can do." As the Mane 6 went upstairs, Heather paused as she looked around. She took her chance as she ran out of the Carousel Boutique, with one destination in mind... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, the Mane 6 had arrived as some of the TD contestants (Gwen, Trent, Courtney, Katie, Sadie, Mike, Zoey, Izzy, Lindsay, Dawn, Ezekiel, Cody and Sierra) were waiting (most of the others went back to do some activities, whilst waiting for today's challenge). Pinkie came over first as she knocked on the door that leads to Bridgette's spare room. "Bridgette, I hear your sadness. We came as delegates... give Pinkie nuclear power, yes, and then she will return your garbage cans." Everyone blinked as they stared at Pinkie, Courtney asking, "What is with that Russian accent?" "It's Speak like a Russian day, yes." Izzy smiled. "There is no such holiday!" Courtney pointed out. "We made it up, yes." Izzy smiled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Pinkie and Izzy are now sharing the same confessional) Pinkie: Pinkie is VERY interested in what this episode can do this time, yes. Izzy: It's going to be quite a doozy, yes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, how are you guys from up here?" Cody asked. "Cleary, Bridgette has used her unicorn voodoo ways to call us to her misery." Pinkie explained. "Oh come on, that is just..." Zoey started... then paused. "Actually, can unicorns do voodoo?" "Well, unicorns are guilty of many crimes, yes." Izzy nodded. "She doesn't have voodoo, you idiots." Gwen sighed. From inside the room, we see Bridgette crying as she overheard from the door. "I knew I had good friends! You're all so reliable! And I don't treat you well enough!" Rainbow Dash, hearing this, sighed. "Aw, man! Now if we leave, I'll feel bad!" "You probably don't want to hear what the matter is. I shouldn't tell you." Bridgette sighed. "Bridgette, shut up." Twilight frowned. "Okay, fine! I'll tell you! I just didn't think you'd be so aggressive about it." Bridgette shook her head. "TWI," Everyone yelled. "What?" Twilight asked in confusion. "It all began about seven years ago... or seven months, I don't know, the timeline is very inconsistent." Bridgette explained. "I've met Geoff. Sure, we started off a little rocky, Geoff would occasionally say the wrong thing, but we got into it a little more and a little more..." "And he got ya in the sack." Courtney said. "And he was just a little stupid." Gwen said. "But, it's the way colts and mares are. But we deal with what we're given with." Izzy paused as she said, "Some people have always thought Courtney was a lesbian." "Yeah, they..." Courtney paused as she looked at Izzy. "...what?" "This is boring!" Rainbow sighed. "You all want to hear about a trick I did today?" "ANYWAY..." Bridgette coughed from inside the room. "Me and Geoff always went through a lot together... but seeing how this is pure, I don't know if we could handle the relationship like this..." "So yew broke up wit’ him an’ then he played video games!" Applejack rolled her eyes. "Well, yes, except for the video games part." Bridgette sighed. "Anyway, when we ‘mated’, it was amazing. We could hold ourselves for a long time..." "How long, exactly?" Rainbow Dash said in confusion. "I can hold out for longer than that!" Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash, wide eyed as Bridgette groaned. "I meant in the make-out places, you complete half-wit!" "I can stay awake for two days." Rainbow Dash said. "Dash, the adults are talking!" Rarity yelled at Rainbow Dash. "An’ yew broke up wit’ him ‘ta make us feel better?" Applejack asked. "Girl, we just overreacted, ‘dat's all. It's just; it's our first time we saw somebody making out. ‘Dat... and we saw Geoff's... lower area, so ‘dat's why we were embarrassed." Cody, Ezekiel, Mike and Trent, hearing this, blinked as they looked down to their lower areas. The others, hearing this, instantly started blushing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trent: (yelps) why has NOBODY informed us about this? Since we're ponies, we're obviously naked. As humans, we wore clothing to cover up our shame! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: Yeah, how come humans' lower areas and upper areas get censored, yet in some movies and live TV shows, animals can get away with showing off their rod? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Bridgette, what is the problem, and when can we leave?" Twilight sighed. "We can hear you ALL the way across town, and it's driving us seriously crazy." Twilight sighed. "The problem is..." Bridgette cried. "I MISS HIM!" "So what," Rarity asked. "Yeah, I thought you had to do the dishes or something." Lindsay said. Bridgette, hearing this, stopped crying and blinked in confusion. "What do you mean 'thought I had to do the dishes'? When did dishes become part of this tragic story?" "I just thought it was part of the Carousel Boutique's weekend ritual..." Lindsay started. "You know, like you wake up in the morning, and realize you got to wash dishes, so you just break down and cry." "Yeah, well, maybe use like, one dish, and then like, wash that dish, and then reuse it every night, and that way, when you get to the end of the week, you'll be like, "Oh, I've only got one dish to wash"." Rainbow rambled as the Total Drama people held their heads. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra: I know Fluttershy has a dishwasher... but then you'd have to put them ALL away... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, just try to be more efficient." Twilight said, somehow mistaking Rainbow's ramblings for Bridgette's problems. "She is NOT sad about the stupid dishes." Courtney groaned. "You guys can't listen worth crap." Mike frowned. "Uh, why are we talking about dishes?" Izzy blinked. "Pinkie is confused!" Pinkie said, holding her head. "She is sad because she and Geoff broke up!" Gwen sighed. Twilight sighed as she shook her head, "Of course. Sorry, what was I thinking?" Twilight then turned towards the door. "Bridgette, we are going to try and cheer you up. But we're going to do it in shifts, though, starting with Fluttershy, then to Applejack, then to Rarity, then to Pinkie Pie, then to Rainbow Dash, and I’ll come in once in a while to see if you’re okay.” Everyone nodded. That seemed to be fair. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Hopefully, the friends we made can somehow cheer Bridgette up, she REALLY needs it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, all the way back in Celestia's castle, up near her room, Luna was coming over as she started to knock. "Celly, I've done your duty for you. Come on, it's not like you to miss a sunrise. Why do I have to do that for you? You never sleep in!" Luna paused. "Celly?" Luna curiously opened the door as she saw a huge lump in the bedroom, squirming around. Celestia was still asleep, though she was having a bit of a nightmare. "No... please... don't..." Celestia whispered. "Celly?" Luna asked scared as she poked Celestia. "NO! PLEASE NOT MEGAN! YOU MONSTER," Celestia roared as she jumped out and opened her eyes... then panted. "Celestia, easy; you're having a nightmare!" Luna tried to calm her down. Celestia, with her eyes now focusing, heard Luna as she said in surprise, "Nightmare?" "Yes, you were having a nightmare." Luna explained. Celestia's eyes widened in fear, "Did I... did I mention any names?" "Just Megan's; Why," Luna asked in curiosity. "No reason... I need to be alone for a minute..." Celestia said as she disappeared. Luna just blinked in confusion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In another room, we see Celestia sitting down in a chair somewhere, as she looked down at a locket, crying a little as she looked at a picture of a young Celestia and a smiling Megan, cuddling. Nearby in the background, there was a smiling adult pony, a black and blue pony, with a horseshoe for a cutie mark, and both green eyes, shining in delight as a young Luna and the young Spykoran was huddled with that pony. Celestia sighed a little. "Those were the good days... those were the good days..." Celestia paused as she started to remember something ALL the way back from her childhood... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLASHBACK It was a typical day here in Ponyland, back about thousands of years ago. While most people were eating and grazing, some ponies were gathered around the only place that seemed pretty interesting... a horseshoe store, where not only did many horseshoes get sold, it was also the home of a very funny comedian, a black and blue pony with shining green eyes and a horseshoe for a cutie mark. "And anyway, this fat mare once came into my horseshoe store one day, and said, "I want something in my size", and I said, "Try Pon-oming!". Now, I don't know WHEN they started letting ponies carry chainsaws..." Everyone laughed as the pony smiled. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding." "Uncle Turry, Uncle Turry!" A young voice came from the background. The pony smiled as he saw a young Celestia and Luna running inside, with Megan following in. The pony hugged the young girls as Megan patted the young pony. "Tuerto, how has life been in the old grind?" "Oh, the usual. Selling horseshoes, making a profit out of it," Tuerto smiled as he laughed. "Megan, I have to tell you, the way you told me about horseshoes and how they're good for horses and ponies... they're a delight! Do horses REALLY get treated with this respect where you come from?" Megan smiled, "Of course. Every horse in our world is treated with respect, even our oldest horses." Tuerto smiled. "Glad to hear that. I sure would love to visit your world. It seems like a dandy place..." Celestia smiled as she cuddled next to Tuerto. "From what we hear from Applejack... it is..." Tuerto laughed as he patted Celestia on the head, "Oh, young Celestia... young, young Celestia." Celestia smiled as Luna was currently putting on an old horseshoe. END FLASHBACK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia could do nothing but sigh as she put the picture away. "Oh, Uncle Tuerto... what happened to those days..." Celestia paused as she got up. "Well, I don't want to let this get me down... I better focus on the game..." Celestia then teleports off into the distance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, back at the Sparkle household, Heather looked both ways before sneaking into the basement and shutting the door. Heather smiled in glee as she galloped downstairs and went through her bag. She sighed in relief as she pulled out her stuffed cat. "Hey, Regina," Heather smiled as she hugged her stuffed cat. "Hello, Heather!" Heather said, trying to imitate a cat-like voice. "How was your day?" "Oh, you know same ol', same ol'." Heather sighed as she put the cat down. "From what I've seen so far, Bridgette seems to be crying a river today; breaking up with Geoff...low blow. Sheesh, it's insane." "At least you have me to keep you sane!" Heather imitated in her cat voice as she moved Regina. "You know it." Heather laughed as she pulled out a brush from her pocket and started to brush her stuffed cat. "You know, I haven't felt this good since the day I got you." "Hasn't it been?" Heather imitated in her stuffed cat voice. "You know it." Heather smiled... when all of a sudden she heard the door to the basement cracking open. Heather yelped as she saw a couple people coming in. Heather yelped as she quickly hid the stuffed cat behind her damaged wing, then started to frown when she saw Izzy and Leshawna coming in. "Hey, Heather," Izzy smiled as she came in...and blinked as she and Leshawna noticed that Heather was wearing her frown, but was sweating nervously. Leshawna frowned in suspicion as Heather was trying to sneak towards her bag. "Okay, what do you have behind your bac-" "WHAT STUFFED CAT?" Heather yelped. Leshawna blinked, "Uh, what?" "Uh, nothing; Nothing at all," Heather said as she got near her bag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: I swear, with Heather, something is always suspicious! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why are you backing up to your bag," Leshawna asked as Heather was near her bag. "Oh, uh..." Heather gulped as she was opening her bag using her left rear hoof. "That's so funny, I thought I could use some entertainment, and you know how I always walk forward? Well, this time, I'm walking backwards!" Heather then carefully slid her stuffed cat back in her bag as she zipped it back up slowly. "Just to mix it up a little; so, that explains that!" Heather chuckled nervously. Leshawna just blinked and nodded in suspicion. "Uh-huh..." "Maybe I should try walking backwards! I'll throw that idea to Pinkie! It'll be a blast!" Izzy laughed as she started to walk backwards up the stairs. "Whatever. But I'm keeping my eye on you!" Leshawna said as she started to walk off. Heather snorted. "Whatever." As soon as she was sure that Leshawna and Izzy were upstairs, Heather sighed in relief as she pulled out her stuffed cat, sighing. "That was a close call, Regina." Heather sighs as she hugs her stuffed cat in comfort. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: Sheesh, people get suspicious all the time. I'm not out to get them Twenty-Four Seven. I have a personal life. (Pause) Which certainly does not involve ANYTHING that sounds childish; No way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over at the castle, as Discord was sipping his drink, Chef was giving him a massage as Chris gave a croak. "You said it." Discord and Chef said as Discord sipped from his drink. Around then, Luna popped in as Celestia came in through the doors. "You okay, Celestia? You look like you had a moment." Luna said. Celestia paused as she looked over to Luna. Should she tell her...no; it wouldn't make up for it. She was the only one who remembered... "I'm fine now. I just needed a moment." Chris, from his jar, croaked as Celestia glared at Chris, "No, I'm not changing you back. Not until you say you're sorry for insulting Ezekiel." Chris croaked in anger as his throat swelled. Celestia frowned, "Such language." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, Fluttershy was standing outside Bridgette's room, next to the door. "Come on, Bridgette. It is unhealthy to be depressed." Fluttershy said softly. "At least please come out." "Go away." Bridgette said with a groan. "I wish I was kicked out." "Oh dear, you don't mean that. This is Rarity's home. You didn't do anything wrong." Fluttershy said gently. "I mean kick..." Bridgette pauses then groans, sobbing some more. Fluttershy sighs a bit. Applejack came up, looking concerned as she ask, "'De gal still won't come out?" "I'm afraid not, Applejack. I tried my best." Fluttershy said sadly. "Well, its mah turn anyway." Applejack said. Fluttershy nods as she moves aside. "Okay! Come out or Ah will buck 'dis door open!" Bridgette is heard sobbing loudly. Fluttershy scolds, "Applejack!" "Sorry! Ah haven't done something like 'dis since Rarity bawls over 'de fashion show we messed up!" Applejack exclaims to Fluttershy sheepishly. ------------ Owen: I feel bad for Bridgette. Geoff was her soul mate and the two broke up right before his eviction. Of course, while the Mane Six are busy trying to help her, we're busy helping on Sweet Apple Acres; Sort of. ----------------- Duncan knocks down some apples off the trees, grinning. He figures that he himself got time to spare. Scott gallops over, asking, "Hey, you see anything up there?" "Nothing but apples; Why," Duncan ask Scott, making him groan in annoyance as he gallops. "Out of the way," Lightning exclaims as he race through Applejack's obstacle course, "Ha ha; Lightning is winning this one!" ------------------------- Lightning: Ha! Lightning aced that course in no time! No mare can compare to me! -------------- Lightning, of course, trips through the course, making Duncan laughs a bit, remarking, "Man, what a doofus." Owen swipes some apples, eating some while mumbling, "Got to say. Applejack made some great apples." "Soooo....Owen. Ezekiel mentioned that Scott got him and his team doing some work the other day. What is that all about?" Duncan asks Owen, making him nervous. "Err, uh...okay! I can't lied to you, buddy, even if Chris once paid me to do so!" Owen groans, cracking up under the pressure faster. "We're looking for the statue for our team on Sweet Apple Acres! And since you're part of us, you get to use it now!" "Ooooh, a statue hunt, eh," Duncan ask Owen with a smirk. "Well, no problem, buddy. Your secret's safe with me." "Awesome," Owen said with a smile. ----------- Duncan: (Smirks) Scott, you made this game way too easy for me. Okay, if I could find that statue, I will be safe until the top twenty. Then I will find a way to ditch the losers that annoyed me! ----------------- "Hey, Justin; Big Mac needs some help taking something into town!" Granny Smith calls out to Justin with a nod. "But last time I did hard labor, I got hurt!" Justin protests to Granny Smith in concern. "Relax. Just stay clear of Diamond Tiara and you will do fine." Granny assures the whining Justin, much to his worry. "Well.... if you say so." Justin said with worry. --------------------- In town, Mike and Zoey are introduced to the rest of the CMC AKA Dinky Doo and Pipsqueak. Jade is out on a chores for her family at the moment. "Cool, so your mother is a Pegasus?" Mike asks Dinky, arching an eyebrow at this. "Yep; that's what she is!" Dinky replied with a proud smirk. "Cool, pretty amazing." Mike said. He spots a speedy carriage and uses his magic to move Nyx out of the way, "Careful, Nyx." "Thanks, Mike." Nyx giggles to Mike happily. "No problems. I Pinkie Promise that I won't let you get hurt, even by me and anypony else," Mike said to Nyx with a grin. "Good to hear." Nyx said with a smile. ------------------ Mike: The Pinkie Promise is a very specific thing in the world of Equestria. You must never break it...ever. ---------------------- "Say, what's Flash doing?" Nyx ask curiously, noting Flash writing down something after speaking to some ponies before flying off. "I don't know. He gave us the same questions earlier and told us to keep the thing a secret." Sweetie said to Mike and Zoey with a shrug. "I think it's something special later." "Something 'ta do wit' torture." Apple Bloom comments, making Mike and Zoey concerned. --------------- Zoey: Yeah, definitely a challenge Chris would do. But would the princesses put up with it? Who knows? ----------------------- Mike spots Big Mac and Justin coming into town with the products. He waves, saying, "Hey Justin! Working hard?" "Or hardly working, eeyup," Big Macintosh laughed, nudging Justin, making him chuckle uneasy, "So uh, I've heard you done have problem with Bridgette." "She is sad because Geoff left." Sweetie explains sadly to Big Mac. "She won't come out of her room." "Right and her depression is mentally unhealthy." Nyx explains to Big Macintosh and Justin. "Kinda like how my mommy is criticized for not getting over daddy." "Poor Bridge," Zoey said, eating a snack that the Cutie Mark Crusaders brought over. "So what's in the wagon?" "Oh, some painting supplies that Rarity wanted to borrow." Big Macintosh commented. He spots Justin trying to get the supplies in the back from falling out. "Hey, you need help, Justin?" "No, I can do fine. I can do this..." Justin said, pulling a rope to keep the back of the wagon shut. But suddenly it broke open, sending some paint supplies flying out. "Oops!" Oops is right, the art supplies kept on flying out...and SPLASH! It lands on two familiar bullies and their bodyguard. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both fumes unhappily as Maxin growls, preparing to crack his hooves. "It wasn't my fault! AAARGH," Justin screams as he runs off with the mad Maxin Talos in hot pursuit. The stallion doesn't want to get beaten up by that creep Maxin again! As Justin run past the Carousel Boutique with Maxin chasing him, Gwen and Beth came up to the door and knocks on it; Twilight opens the door to answer. "Oh, hey girls," Twilight said in concern to her friends. "How's Bridgette?" Beth asks Twilight in concern. "Still in her room; I'm worried. She needs to move on; Geoff wouldn't want her to feel like this." "So whose turn is it this time?" Gwen ask Twilight, pondering whose turn it is to try to cheer up Bridgette. "It's Pinkie and she is bouncing off the wall." Twilight explains as we can hear bouncing noises coming from upstairs. Pinkie is definitely bouncing off the walls all right. "So this may take a while." "Right; Listen, I want to talk to you about something." Gwen said as she and Beth came inside the Carousel Baroque. "I did some thinking...maybe I should give Trent another try." "Really; that's great." "No it isn't. I'm worried that, after everything we've been through, he may not be interested." ------------ Beth: Love can be a mysterious thing. Bridgette is going through her major depression; And Gwen? She's pondering whatever or not to try to give Trent another chance. (Grins) I say go for it! ------------- "I mean, what if we messed up again?" Gwen asks Twilight sadly, ignoring the bouncing parts. "I can't take the heartbreak again!" "Look, you admit you two made some mistakes. But my teacher said that 'at first you don't succeed, try try again'." Twilight explains gently to Gwen. "I know Trent likes you. I have seen him look to you a few times." "Really?" "Now would I lie since we're good friends?" "She's right. I did saw Trent look at you...and he did mention what a good girl you are one time." Beth said to Gwen, making her smile a bit. "Why not give him another shot?" Gwen was about to answer when the trio hears some yelling from outside. They came out of the Carousel Boutique to see Justin trapped up a tree with Maxin and the Snobby Duo at the bottom. "Come down from there so Maxin can pound you, you stupid wuss!" Diamond yells angrily at Justin, who kept his hold onto the tree. "Never! Little fillies or mares will never tell me what to do," Justin exclaims sternly. However, Maxin somehow grabs the tree and begins pulling it down, making Justin meets the ones he angered at eye level. "Of course, on the other hoof..." Maxin growls as he swipes at Justin but the bodyguard ends up letting go, causing the tree to catapult up and send the Earth Pony flying towards Sugarcube Corner where Josh, Anne Maria and Noah are eating some snacks. "And so, I told her, no way!" Josh laughs a bit. Suddenly the trio yelps as Justin hits the window, flattening himself against it. "Whoa!" "Okay, I like this place but I don't care for their decals." Anne Maria remarked, chewing her cupcakes unemotionally. ----------------------- Josh: One thing that I loved about this game: the insanity and the madness! Whoa baby! ---------------------- Meanwhile, Spike and Phobos were humming as they were busy, hanging out for the day. "So, hear anything strange lately downstairs?" Phobos asked. "Now that you say it, I HAVE been hearing rather particular sounds from the basement since these strange new ponies arrived." Spike said. "I don't know what is causing them, but..." Phobos then gave a smirk as he said, "Let's go check it out!" As soon as Phobos said that, from the basement, Heather was coming out of the basement to get some food, to have something to eat. As soon as Heather was out, Spike and Phobos were walking towards the basement as they entered inside. "Hello?" Spike called downstairs. "Well, I guess nobody's home." "Come on!" Phobos said as he started to drag Spike downstairs. Spike and Phobos looked around... then they suddenly noticed the stuffed cat that just happened to be out of Heather's bag. "Hello, what's this?" Spike blinked as Phobos picked up the stuffed cat. "I'm not sure... I've never seen this before... not in your toy closet, and definitely NOT in Nyx's stuff." Phobos said. Phobos then gave a smile, "Sweet! This toy must be some action figure!" "Do you think we should play with it? For all we know, it could be one of the Pegasuses..." Spike started to ask as Phobos started to make airplane noises and pretended to play with the stuffed cat. "Who cares; Approaching Mach 3," Phobos laughed as he started to run upstairs with the stuffed cat. Spike just shrugged as he followed Phobos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, as Heather was enjoying a daisy sandwich (well, given that she's a pony now, she may as well make the best of it, and enjoy it while she could, she'll probably be back to eating meat or something nutritious soon enough), Heather overheard Phobos imitating airplane noises. Heather, in curiosity, decided to turn to see Phobos running around with her stuffed cat in the other room, Spike following behind. Heather turned back to eat, not realizing what just happened... then her eyes widened as what she just saw suddenly dawned on her. "Regina?" Heather whispered as she hid behind a wall. Heather peeked behind as she saw Phobos running around with the stuffed cat, Spike following behind. Heather gasped in horror as she whispered, "REGINA!" Heather then started to gasp in panic as she started to hold herself in a fetal position... then shook her head as she slapped herself. "Get it together, Heather! Calm down! They don't know she's mine. If they or any of the other people find out, I'll never be looked at the same way again!" Heather took a deep breath. "I just... have to be clever about it, that's all!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: (shuffling her hands nervously) Uh, if you're wondering, no, that stuffed cat is not mine. (Keeps shuffling hands) Really. (Starts shaking nervously) It's not. (Starts sweating nervously) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the monitors, Chris the Toad was watching as he was croaking in glee. Discord, being given a massage by Chef, turned as he said, "I certainly agree with you. I'd LOVE to see where this goes from here..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in the room, Phobos laughed as Spike caught up with him, Ben coming downstairs. "Hey, Phobos, what have you got there?" Ben asked. "An action figure; you want to play?" Phobos asked as he handed the stuffed cat over to Ben. Ben frowned as he asked, "Are you sure you should be touching other people's stuff? For all you know, it could be one of the new ponies' things." "Come on! Let's just play with it a little then we can find who this belongs to! No harm, no foul!" Phobos said. Ben paused. "Uh... all right... what do you do with this?" "It's an action figure! Do something action-y with it." Phobos pointed out. Ben paused before tossing the stuffed cat in the air and watching it land on the ground. Ben then body slammed the stuffed cat as Phobos and Spike joined in. All three had a good laugh before Ben looked up and smiled, "Oh, hello; Heather, right?" Heather, with a nervous smile, started to walk over as she waved, "Uh, yeah. Hello, Ben, right?" Heather was seen worried that her stuffed cat was getting tormented, so she shook nervously. Phobos noticed as he asked, "Hey; Everything okay?" "Uh, yeah, everything's fine!" Heather chuckled nervously. "Uh, what do you have in your hands?" "Oh, this," Phobos said as he picked up the stuffed cat. "This is just a really neat action figure we found in the basement! We think it might be one of the others..." "Oh, cool!" Heather smiled as she shook nervously. "Uh, may I touch it... to return to the owner of this stuffed cat?" "Well, technically, it's Spike's turn. Right, Spike?" Phobos asked. "Yep," Spike smiled as Heather was sweating nervously. "And after that... it's Izzy's turn, followed by Leshawna's." Phobos said. "Wait, what?" Heather said as Izzy and Leshawna walked in. "Where did you two come from?" "We've been here the whole time!" Izzy said. "Phobs; that is one sweet toy you got there." Leshawna smiled. "I personally have never seen that thing before." "Yeah, cool toy, really cool!" Izzy smiled. "Let me play, let me play!" Heather's eyes widened as they blanked out and she fainted, imagining the horrors of what Izzy would do to the stuffed cat. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: (looking through 'Total Drama Equestria' script) I would NEVER do such a thing! Seriously, I may be loopy, but I'm not THAT loopy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile with Gwen, she was sighing as she was walking... when all of a sudden, she bumped right into something. "Oh, sor-" Gwen and the other pony said at the same time... then they both yelped when Gwen realized that she walked right into Trent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Oh God, I'm nervous! Truth is, I don't know if I can do this! I know Twilight and Beth support me, but I'm still trying so hard! I don't know if I can make contact with Trent! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh..." Gwen paused. "Hey... Trent." "Gwen." Trent paused. "So... how is everything?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trent: Here's something I'm sure you guys don't know... I'm still in love with Gwen. But I learned my lesson last time to not just throw the challenges in favor of Gwen since we were on opposite teams back in TDA. But with her looking into other guys, I wasn't too sure. I even believed the rumors from All-Stars that Gwen and Courtney were lesbians at one point! But I know that Gwen is straight. Now I just believe Courtney's the lesbian. Don't deny it people, you know it's true! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtney: Okay, what is with this talk about me being a lesbian? Everyone knows I had a thing with Duncan! (Pause) Wait... am I lesbian? I'm starting to believe that rumor myself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, it's been... going good." Gwen said. "I think this is the first time we've been alone together without people breathing down our necks." "I know." Trent nodded. Trent and Gwen paused. "Nice day, isn't it?" "Certainly," Gwen nodded. "Well, I'll see you around." "Okay, see you." Trent said as the two went their separate ways. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trent: Is there a chance me and Gwen could get back together? I'm not sure, but we'll wait and see... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gwen: You know, I'm making REALLY good progress so far! This is going to be great! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, as Noah was calmly reading a book, he couldn't help but think about Katie. He and her had passed by each other a couple of times, and both smiled as they waved a couple of times. Noah paused to think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: Despite the fact I SHOULD find them quite annoying, I don't know. For some reason, I'm really warming up to Katie in the past couple of days. I think I'm going to try and talk with her, hopefully, she'll find my topics interesting... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as Noah closed his book, he noticed Katie coming by, "Oh, hey Katie! Mind if we talk?" Katie stopped as she turned to see Noah. Katie blushed as she said, "Uh, sure, Noah." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! I am ACTUALLY getting close to Noah! (Starts blushing furiously) Am I blushing? Please tell me I'm blushing! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What did you want to talk about, Noah?" Katie asked. "Well, I've always wondered how you felt about not being invited back into the past Total Drama seasons." Noah said. "Clearly, you've got potential to do that." Katie smiled as she said, "Oh, Noah, I'm glad you asked. You know, I COULD have been able to make a prominent appearance in another season... but you know, it would have been lonely without Sadie around, and I would have ended up missing her, like Sadie would miss me." "Yeah, I can't deny that you two are an inseparable pair." Noah smiled as Katie sat next to him. "I've heard some people even say that you're like sisters." "Well... in a way, I guess we are." Katie said, "Me and Sadie have always liked the same things, and sure, we argue about a few things, and occasionally, we have the same crushes... but in the end, me and Sadie have our flaws, and even we know that." "No kidding?" Noah said, interested. "So, you're both not all squealy Twenty-Four Seven?" "Not all the time." Katie smiled. "Sure, Sadie and I can never break our friendship, but even we need personal space." "Wow." Noah said as he looked in Katie's eyes. "You know, you have such beautiful eyes..." "You really think so?" Katie blushed. "Yes, I know so." Noah smiled. Katie gave a slight giggle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: No matter how annoying the duo of Katie and Sadie can be, there's just something that makes me smile about them; Katie, especially. At least we're getting close to this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! Noah and I actually had a legitimate conversation! I can't wait to tell Sadie about it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, with Sierra, Sierra smiled as she was holding a couple of ice cream cones using her horns. Sierra smiled as she was walking over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra: Another day of spending it with my Cody! I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this moment... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Thanks for the ice cream cone, Sadie!" Sierra then stopped short as she dropped both ice cream cones. She then hid behind a wall as she saw Cody and Sadie talking, holding some ice cream cones. Sierra growled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra: Of course! Of course! That stupid fat pink bitch has to hog my glory! (Growls) Cody is mine! I will prove it to her! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as Sierra was leaving, and she was out of earshot, Sadie smiled as she licked her ice cream cone, "Any time, Cody. As your friend, I'm just glad we can hang out." "It is..." Cody sighed. "So, anyway, about my love problem..." "Yes?" Sadie asked. "Well, that's just it. I think I LOVE Sierra, but the problem is, she is just SO clingy and overprotective! I know she's only trying to look out for my well-being, but she's been so OBSESSED over me, it's just so hard to communicate. I want to know HER, and I want HER to know me, you know what I mean?" Cody asked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: Not that there's anything wrong with Sierra, but sometimes, I think she... is just so obsessed with me. I like her, but I don't know. I just want her to see the REAL me, and I want to see the REAL her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sadie: Looks like I'm the Love Guru. (Smiles) Well, this is certainly going to be fun! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Cody, I think it's sweet that you love Sierra." Sadie said. "Don't worry, just give her some time. Eventually, she'll go out of that fangirl phase." "You think so?" Cody asked. Sadie smiles, "I know so." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back with the cameras, Discord was busy writing something down as Celestia and Luna turned to Discord. "Uh, what are you doing?" "Oh, just a little something for a challenge that I'm planning on doing next episode..." Discord smirked as he gave Celestia the idea. "Tell me what you think." Celestia read the note... then smiled. "Ooooo... I think I like it!" Chris the Toad, in curiosity, looked over at the note. Giving an impressed croak, he gave a chuckle. He then knocked on the jar. Celestia sighed. "You promise not to talk about Ezekiel or complain that I changed him back?" Chris the Toad struggled, but nodded. "Very well." Celestia nodded as she used her horn to change Chris back to his normal form. "Thank God!" Chris sighed as he smoothed out his blue jacket. "It's good to be back!" "Unfortunately..." Luna muttered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Heather? Heather?" A voice called out as Heather's eyes came into focus... and the first thing she saw was her stuffed cat being held in front of her. Heather then gave a sigh of relief as she gave a smile. "Regina?" Spike, the one who was holding the stuffed cat, blinked as she turned to Phobos. "Uh, who's Regina?" Heather then grabbed the stuffed cat out of Spike's hand as she started to cuddle it, smiling. "Oh, Regina, you're back, you're back! You're not hurt!" Heather then started to kiss it... before suddenly realizing that she and her stuffed animal happened to be in the same room as Ben, Spike, Phobos, Izzy and Leshawna, who just stared wide-eyed at this display. Heather then dropped the stuffed cat from her possession. Leshawna quickly put two and two together as she said, "Heather... do you..." "NO!" Heather frowned as she started to sweat, "Of course not!" Leshawna then started to laugh. "Oh my Celestia, you do! You have a stuffed animal! That is adorable!" "No it isn't!" Heather frowned as she stood up. "I don't even know where it came from!" "But... you just called it Regina." Spike said. "And you were hugging it." Phobos said. "You were crying..." Ben said. "And you started kissing it." Izzy pointed out. "It's not mine!" Heather argued. "Then why are you hugging it possessively as if it was yours?" Izzy pointed to Heather, who just suddenly grabbed the cat and started hugging it. "I'm not hugging it; I'm choking the stuffing out of it!" Heather lied, but the others could see otherwise. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe what I'm seeing!" Leshawna smiled. "That is SO freaking adorable! You REALLY love that stuffed cat, don't you?" "Would someone who REALLY loved that stuffed thing do this," Heather then started to turn the head of the stuffed cat, as if to rip it off... but she couldn't do it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: That is adorable! I can't believe Heather kept this secret all these months... years... whatever we knew her! Who knew the Queen Bee could turn out to be a big softie? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Heather, it’s okay if you love your stuffed cat," Leshawna smiled. Everyone nodded as they started voicing their support. "Yeah, it's not all THAT embarrassing." Izzy said. "Nobody's going to think of you differently." "Of course," Ben nodded. "Why, Twilight once owned a stuffed animal that..." "FOR THE LAST TIME, THIS IS NOT MY STUFFED ANIMAL!" Heather yelled. "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO PROVE IT TO YOU, BLOW ONE UP?" Everyone stopped as they looked at each other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: She won't do it. She never will. People ALWAYS have a connection to their toys. Watch Toy Story 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: (looking through the script) I think most of this material was lifted from an episode of a cartoon series, but I don't know which one... (Pause) Hmmm.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ben, quick meeting," Phobos said as he dragged Ben and Spike to the side. The three then started to whisper as Ben started to give confusion... then shrugged. Phobos, Spike and Ben then turned as the three said, "All right, Heather; Blow it up." "ALL RIGHT THEN! IT'S SETTLED! TOMORROW AFTERNOON, IN FRONT OF THE CAROUSEL BOUTIQUE! GET EVERYONE HERE! I'M BLOWING UP A STUFFED ANIMAL IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE LAND OF PONYVILLE!" Heather announced as she started to leave, with the stuffed animal in hand. Leshawna and Izzy blinked as Leshawna paused. "She's SO in denial." "Indeed." Izzy nodded. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: (smiles as she holds her stuffed cat) There. That should take care of that. I proved to them I don't own this thing (glares at the camera) WHICH I DON'T! (Goes back to smiling) And all I have to do is blow this thing up. (Pause as her face starts to go wide-eyed at the sudden realization) Uh, excuse me for a sec. I have... to go do something! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE!" Heather yelped as she held her stuffed cat by her side, downstairs in the basement. "I CAN'T BLOW YOU UP, REGINA! YOU MEAN TOO MUCH TO ME!" Heather started weeping as she started to say, "Who will I confide all my secrets to? Who will make me feel better when I'm feeling blue? What will my boyfriend say when he finds out about this?" Heather then took a deep breath. "Okay, okay, get it together, Heather. I'm sure they didn't take me seriously. They probably just forgot all about it." Heather smiled. "Yeah, yeah, that's right. Of course they didn't take me seriously. What are they going to do, Triple Dog Dare me into blowing up a stuffed animal?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meanwhile, Ben whispered to everyone, who then confronted Flash, who blinked. "But, isn't this basically the same..." "Come on!" Everyone gave a smile. Flash paused. "Well, all right. I suppose that can be done..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the four teams together near Sugar Cube Corner (Bridgette was absent), the Chris McColt robot arrived as the Chris bot smiled. "So, any reason WHY you chose THIS place rather than the Everfree Forest," Heather asked. "Okay, first things first... since one of your team members is absent Unicorns, Pegasuses, you may sit one person out, Alicorns and Earth Ponies, sit two out." Chris smiled. "I'll sit out this one." Dakota said as she got up. "Me too, eh," Ezekiel said as he got up. "I'll be gone for a while. Peace out." Scott said as he walked off. "I'm going. I have a sense that something's about to go down..." Dawn said as she started to meditate. "I'll be leaving too." B said as he started to get up. Dawn noticed, much to her interest. "I'm surprised you decided not to get Bridgette involved." Gwen said. "Or is THIS another Celestia meddlement?" "The latter," Celestia's voice came out of the Chris McColt voice. "Ah..." Everyone said. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duncan: To be honest, I think this is better for Bridgette... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "To start things up, we will be heading upstairs." Chris McColt said. "Why?" Scott asks puzzled as he turns a bit. "Oh, you'll see. If you want to stay and watch, fine," Chris said slyly. -------------- Cody: Okay, whenever say Chris say something like that, it involves something...suspicious. ------------- Chris and the teams, including the ones who aren't doing the challenge but are going to watch, head upstairs. The host opens the door to reveal... "Hey, ponies!" Pinkie giggles as she bounces to the door, revealing that the groups have entered Pinkie Pie's apartment home. "Hey, you're here for my little slumber party?!" "Slumber party," Most of the players ask in bewilderment. Indeed, a slumber party is happening and the Mane Six, along with Ben, Spike, Phobos, Nyx and the CMC are here, having fun. "Right; we decided to have one at Pinkie's place." Twilight said to her friends with a smile. "But don't slumber parties normally involve only one gender?" Lindsay asked curiously as she saw colts like Ben and Pipsqueak. "Because that's how it is at mine." "Nah! This is a Super Duper Every Friend Invited Slumber Party!" Pinkie giggles, eating some cupcakes. Scott pauses then shrugs, saying, "Well good enough for me! Hey, don't hog the treats!" The stallion gallops to get some treats. "And I'm here, too!" Discord exclaims happily, wearing some PJs, much to the concern of some of the players. "At Fluttershy's request, unfortunately," Twilight remarks, rolling her eyes a bit. "Anyway, come on in and mingle." Well, at least a slumber party can't be all bad, right? As the players enter, a suspicious Gwen asked Chris, "What are you up to this time, Chris?" "Oh, I decided to hold our little challenge here. No worries. You will see what it is, soon enough." Chris remarks slyly, much to the worry of Gwen. When Chris says that, things are bound to go wrong. The ponies begin to mingle, having some fun. Pipsqueak squeaks, "Wow, I've never been to a slumber party before." "Never in your life," Nyx ask Pipsqueak in amusement. "Never ever," Pipsqueak remarks, making Nyx giggle a bit. "Hey Christopher Robin; Where's Pooh bear?" Scott mocks Pipsqueak, making Lightning laugh a bit. "Uhhhh...I don't get it." Pipsqueak said, confused by what Scott's taunt. "Weak!" Rainbow commented out loud towards Scott. ------------- Scott: Ugh. What, these ponies are talked about in Megan Richards's books but they never heard of Winnie the Pooh? How evolved are these ponies anyway? --------------- Lightning: Lightning has crashed various slumber parties before but this is the first that he ever attended one! Shazam! ----------------- "So still can't get Bridgette out of her room?" DJ asks Rarity in concern. "No. We even invited the poor darling here but she wishes to be alone." Rarity sighs, drinking from a punch. "I feel sorry for her." "Well, give her time. Bridgette will come around." Leshawna remarked, eating some cake. "Or I will have to go in there and talk to her myself." ------------------- Brady: Okay, after having some fun and cake, we decided to tell some ghost stories...and Apple Bloom got one hell of a one to tell. --------------- Day turns into night as everyone sat, stand, whatever as Apple Bloom tells a scary ghost story about an experience once. "An' when Ah went 'ta 'de fire place, there was a skeleton inside!" Apple Bloom exclaims creepily, making some of the ponies shiver a bit. "Turns out 'dem blank ponies went an' kill Ruby, all because they believed her mark was a curse!" "Oh wow; I'm loving this." Izzy giggles, drinking a soda. "I don't." Dinky whimpers, hiding under a sleeping bag cover. "Ah left 'de cabin...but when Ah came back 'ta 'de village, everypony there turned into...'DIS!" Apple Bloom exclaims, getting a freaked out look. Suddenly the lights from the flashlights are turned off...and turned back on to reveal snarling black ponies with red eyes and fangs. The ponies and the team players scream in terror as they run and hide. Suddenly the lights in the room are turned on by Discord who laughs a bit. The 'zombies' removed their disguised, revealing them to be the main CMC, Nyx, Rainbow and Duncan in disguises. "Ha ha ha ha; Oh man, that was awesome!" Duncan laughs a bit. "You ponies..." "Oh, you should've seen the looks on your faces! Priceless," Discord chuckled, wiping a tear from his eyes. "Ha ha ha, very funny, very funny," Twilight mumbles a bit, "More funny than being turned back into stone, smart guy!" "Sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but words may never hurt me, nah!" Discord taunts as he sticks his tongue out at Twilight...who threw a dictionary in his face. "Ow." "Looks like they can," Trent joked with a smirk. "Okay, moving on!" Ben exclaims. "We have snacks, told ghost stories...what else?" "Time for some games," Dawn exclaims. "Of course, B, Scott, Ezekiel, Dakota and I can't participate; Long story." "Good. Time for a game that Applejack and I used to play called 'Truth or Dare'," Rarity said with a smirk. "Except this time, we will skip the truth and go straight to the dare part." Chris remarks with a devilish smirk while Discord made something covered by a sleet. "For this game, we are also combining it with the classic game of 'Spin the Bottle'." "Oh no," Gwen said, her eyes widen in realization. "You wouldn't." Heather said, getting scared. "Oh, yes they would!" Owen remarks with glee. "Right, time to play a classic old favorite..." Discord remarks as he removes the sleet, revealing a wheel with pictures on it, along with a spinning bottle. "I Triple Dog Dare You!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOO," Heather screamed. "YEEEEEEEESSSSSS," Owen cheers on wildly, though the others look at him. "What?" -------------- Heather: Oh god, why?! Last time I played that game, I was not only eliminated, I was bald for a while! Ugh! I just know Chris got something more sinister planned, I just know it!" ------------------- Owen: Yeah! Chris brought back my favorite game! Oh, I wonder what dares they would give us! Something involves food, I hope! ---------------------- "Okay, Bridgette who isn't here, along with Dakota, Scott, Ezekiel, B and Dawn won't participate. Along with the Mane Six, the CMC, Ben, and the Dragons," Chris adds in. "Only the teams will be playing." "Oh, I wonder what this game is going to be about." Fluttershy said. "Now this game is very interesting, unlike the last one that the newcoming ponies know about." Discord said with a smirk. "Earlier, we have various ponies and creatures throughout Equestria questioned on what sort of dares that the players will do." "I was wondering about that." Sweetie said with a grin. "Now then, we didn't ask the Mane Six, just mostly everyone else. The team captains will spin the wheel and whoever pony it lands on, their dare will be chosen." Chris explains. "Since Scott and B aren't participating, Eva and Cody will fill in for them." "Well, I guess." Eva remarks with a grunt. Cody nods, knowing that since Dawn isn't playing, he, the next choice, will fill in. "Now then, the Teams selection is different. One of the team players will either do the dare or challenge someone else on another team to do it. No Freebies." Chris said, making the teams groan. No Freebies means no bottles like in Season 1. "Also, once a player did a dare, he or she won't do another one until everyone on his or her team had a turn." "If a team cannot do a dare, we will eliminate one of their team players from play...and if a player from another team who is dared refuses, he or she will be kicked out." Discord explains, holding his hands together. "The winning 2 teams with 1 or more Players lefts win the game." "Well, that doesn't concern me, eh." Ezekiel remarked, eating some popcorn. "Popcorn, Dawn?" "Thank you, Ezekiel." Dawn said as she eats some popcorn herself. ------------ At the room at the Castle, Chef Hatchet comments, "I'm surprised you're allowing the Mane Six and their pals into this." "As far as they know, this is just another game at a slumber party." Chris assures Chef with a chuckle. The Royal Sisters brought in some snacks and Apple Cider. They don't have anything scheduled for today so this is going to be fun. "This is going to be double the fun." Luna said with glee. -------------- Celestia: (grins) Okay, Luna and I have a little side bet going. The loser who laughs so hard that she spits Apple Cider out of her nose has to do the winner's chores for the rest of the month. -------------------- Luna: Tia, you are so going down. And I got a LOT of chores for you; Hee hee. ---------------- Back at the slumber party, Discord adds, "Now then, due to 'circumstances', the Alicorns will go first, followed by the Earth Ponies, then the Pegasus and of course the Unicorns." When Discord means 'circumstances', he means that the Alicorns won the previous challenge so they go first, followed by the Earth Ponies, the Pegasus and of course the Unicorns. "Cody, you're up first." Chris said to Cody. Cody nods as he goes over to the wheel, spinning it with his magic. Everyone watch as a familiar music sound is heard while the bottle spins around. Soon the bottle stops onto Lyra Heartstrings. "Lyra Heartstrings," Chris said as a piece of paper came out of the wheel which he takes. "Her dare is...lick Spike's scales." Most of the group looks stunned. Even Spike looks awkward. Phobos laughs, "Oh yeah; Spike didn't get washed yet." The Immortal Alicorns hesitates, wondering if they should take the dare or not. Chris adds, "You ponies got a choice. One of you can either take the dare or challenge somepony else on another team." Harold smirks evilly as he spoke, "Can one of the teammates choose or is it only the captain?" "Any one of the teammates," Chris answers Harold. "Good, because I choose...Duncan," Harold remarked, pointing a hoof to Duncan, much to his shock. "What," Duncan asked in shock. Most of the ponies nod. DJ said, "Yeah, Duncan." "Right, Duncan." Cody remarked with a smirk; finally, a way of paying Duncan back for his times of recent bullying. "Well, Duncan, the Alicorns made their choice. Take the dare or not." Discord said to Duncan. Duncan groans then said, "Fine. Let's get this over with." Spike shrugs, turning around and bent down. As everyone watch, Duncan leans down to lick. Spike comments, "Just pretend you are licking a tofu dog." "Hey, shut up, Spike!" Duncan snaps in annoyance, not wanting anything to make him sick right now. "Minus the spikes and the dirt," Spike adds, much to Duncan's further irritation. Duncan gave a death glare towards Harold, and gestures slitting his throat while whispering quietly enough only for him to hear, "I'm going to kill you!" "Start licking, punk boy." Harold remarks evilly. Duncan groans as he licks Spike's scales. Once he's done however, the Dragon added, "Oh, and minus the chemicals from Twilight's earlier experiment." Duncan yelps a bit, then rushes to the bathroom and threw up. Apple Bloom noticing remarks, "Dang. Ah didn't know we served corn." ------------ Harold: Yeah, I used up a dare on Duncan but if he's still around by the time everyone on his team did their turn, I say, I hope something more worst is in store for him! ----------------- Back at the room, the Royal Sisters giggles at this. Luna remarks, "Oh my; that was so...hilarious. I almost laugh too hard." She notes Celestia looking at her. "I said 'almost'." ---------------------- Once Duncan came back from the bathroom, he lies down and groans. At least the punk boy won't do another dare for a while. "Okay, Eva, it's your team's turn." Chris said, motioning that it's Eva's turn. "Let's do this!" Eva grunts as she goes over to the wheel, grabbing it with her hooves and spins the bottle. "My, it's like she can handle it wit' hooves." Applejack said impressed. "Right, what dare would this be?" Ben asks curiously. Soon the wheels lands on Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Chris reads the paper that comes out, "Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Their dare is...suck on Pound Cake's pacifier." "This one to be precise," Pinkie exclaims, holding Pound's pacifier which got drool all over it. "It hasn't been washed yet!" The ponies look disturbed...which got worst when Owen spoke up eagerly, "I'll take the dare!" "Ugh, Owen. It's a baby pacifier...with drool and spit on it." Rainbow said to Owen uneasily and disturbed. "Yeah, but it must be so special if he's sucking on it." Owen said with a smirk to the pacifier. "I want to see what it's like." "If you insist," Pinkie said with a devilish smirk. The ponies cringe as Owen takes the pacifier and sucks on it happily. He mumbles, "Wow, it tastes like baby spit...with hints of apple sauce...and is that a flu shot?" "Yep! Pound was sick today so Mrs. Cake gave him a flu shot before sucking on that thing." Pinkie commented. Some of the ponies yelp a bit, even Dakota yelps and rush to the bathroom with Sam to throw up. "Okay! The Earth Ponies move on!" Chris exclaims then gave a worried look to Owen. "And maybe a flu shot for Owen...if you want." "Nah, I'm good." Owen remarked unworried. "Okay, my turn!" Heather remarks as she goes up to the wheel and spins it. "Better be something that doesn't involve shaving my fur off." The bottle spins until it lands on a picture of Screwball. Chris took out the paper and reads it, "Give a purple nurple to a sleeping bear." "Oooh, that's mine! I'm going for it! Ha ha ha," Izzy laughs madly, making the ponies a bit disturbed. "Show me the sleeping bear!" "I sense a freak." Scootaloo remarked quietly in a singsong tone. "Watch it; some of our friends are freaks." Nyx points out to Scootaloo. "Well, I know of where a bear's sleeping...but what's a purple nurple?" Fluttershy ask, a bit uneasy. ------------- Fluttershy, wearing a helmet with a light coming out, leads Izzy to Harry the Bear's home near her cottage. The Pegasus pony got info of what a purple nurple is...and it makes her a bit uneasily to wake up Harry to do that. Upon arriving, the two came into the cave, with Fluttershy whispering, "Hey Harry. Sorry to wake you up...but my friend wishes to give you something...never saw it and I hope you don't get mad but..." A noise of something twisting is heard, followed by an angry bear roar. Fluttershy screams as she flies out of the cave with a laughing Izzy following; Harry run out, roaring angrily...then stops, looking puzzled by what just happened. ----------------------------------------- Back at Pinkie's home, Izzy smiles as she sat down. Fluttershy, shaking, sat near her friends. "Auntie Fluttershy? You okay?" Nyx ask Fluttershy in concern. "I'm fine, really." Fluttershy said meekly. "Yeah, that was fun! Can't wait for another dare," Izzy exclaims eagerly. "Okay, Gwen?" Chris asks Gwen who nods and goes to the wheel. She uses her magic to spin the bottle. It spins around before stopping right on a picture of two familiar bullies, "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon." "I wonder what dare those two would give out." Pipsqueak said in concern. "Whatever it is, not good," Phobos remarked with a grunt. Chris reads the dare to everyone, "Kick Nyx." "What," Nyx asked in shock and fear. "What," Mike ask in shock and alarm, "No way! I can't kick Nyx! She's my friend and I Pinkie Promised!" "Look, you don't have to. Your other teammates could do it...or you can dare someone else on another team to." Discord points out to Mike calmly. Mike hesitates, looking at Nyx who gave him puppy dog eyes with tears coming out, saying sadly, "You aren't really going to let anyone do that...are you?" "No! I won't! I am not going to allow anyone to kick Nyx, not now or ever!" Mike exclaims sternly. "Well, I gotta agree. I can't do it either." Trent said with a sigh. "Us neither." Katie and Sadie said. Even the rest of the Magical Unicorns won't do it, not even daring anyone else. "In that case, someone from your turn is eliminated from play. And Mike; that will be you," Chris said to Mike with a nod. "Don't care. Not worth playing to do something cruel." Mike said, going over to a couch, now out of the game. "Thank you!" Nyx said in relief. "Maybe he can't kick Nyx, but I can." Scott remarked quietly while glaring evilly at Nyx. --------------------------- Back at the room, Chris said into the headset, "And thus, the Unicorns is eliminated 1 player." "Not funny." Celestia remarked, not amused by the dare made by the Snotty Duo. "Same herem" Luna remarked in agreement. ------------------------------ Gwen: (concerned) this could be harder than I imagined once more. -------------------------- "Welcome back to our show." Chris said to the camera, though the Mane Six, Ben, the CMC, Nyx and the Dragons are out of the loop here. "Okay, Cody? It's your turn." Cody spins the bottle. Everyone watch as the bottle kept spinning until it lands on a picture of Big Macintosh. "Big Macintosh," Chris said, taking out a piece of paper, reading it. "Drink hardcore apple cider out of the punch bowl." Applejack looks concerned about that. Sierra however smirks while saying, "I'll take the dare!" "You will?" Cody asks Sierra in surprise. ------------ Sierra: I decided if I take this dare, Cody-kins will like me more than that fatty fatass Sadie! Oh, she is sooooo going down! ------------ Discord dumps a bunch of hardcore apple cider in the punch bowl before mixing it with a huge ladle. Once he's done, the former villain exclaims, "Drink up!" Sierra greedily drinks out of the punch bowl as everyone watches. Twilight ask Applejack, "Out of curiosity, what is 'hardcore apple cider'?" "It makes yew drunk as a skunk." Applejack comments to Twilight with a frown. Sierra finishes up and licks her lips. Ben pauses then adds, "Weird, nothing's happening." "Give her a few seconds." Sierra then smiles like a drunk, speaking, "Oh wow. Best damn drink ever; Hee hee hee. Wow, talking ponies..." "Ooooh, I love it!" Chris remarks with a chuckle. Sierra bumps into a wall, laughing stupidly. "Call me Ichabod!" --------------- Celestia snorts a bit, doing her best not to laugh so hard. Luna rolls her eyes a bit, but is having trouble trying to keep from laughing as well. Sierra's drunken behavior is so funny. ------------------ Sierra grabs Phobos, hugging him while saying, "Look! Mr. Funny Bunny!" "Ugh! Someone knock her out, please!" Phobos exclaims, getting uncomfortable with this. "I can call you 'Cody 69'." "Sierra, please," Cody exclaims, embarrassed. "Wow, I think she have a bit too much." Scootaloo remarks to the others in amusement. "You think?" Pipsqueak asks Scootaloo in agreement. "Okay, let's move on. Eva?" Chris asks Eva, reminding her that it's her own team's turn. The tough pony spins the bottle, waiting until it stops on a picture of Spitfire. The host took out the paper, "Spitfire; Her dare? Eat a bit of Rainbow Dash's tail." "What?! No, no, no!" Rainbow exclaims frantically, backing off in alarm. "Wow, cool! Too bad I had a turn. I would love to try that!" Owen exclaims eagerly. "Well, no one else on the Unicorns got a turn yet. So I choose Courtney." Eva said, smirking to Courtney making her yelp a bit. "Well, princess, what it's going to be?" Duncan asks Courtney with a smirk, eating some popcorn. Courtney groans a bit then says, "Fine. Give me a bit of the tail." Rainbow yelps as she tries to fly off, but Twilight uses her magic to hold her down. The Pegasus pony pleads, "Please, no! For Celestia's sake, no!" "It's only a bit of a tail, Rainbow, relax!" Twilight assures Rainbow. Discord smirks as he took out a pair of scissors and snips a bits of the tail hair off, much to the Pegasus pony's dismay. "My poor poor tail!" Discord gave the snips to Courtney. The mare cringe a bit then snarfs the bits down, munching a bit. The others watch anxiously. Spike asks, "So...how was it?" "Huh. Not so bad, actually," Courtney munches a bit, smiling a bit. "You can actually taste the rainbow! I could have more of this..." Rainbow's eyes widen in horror then she speeds out of Pinkie's window in terror. The pink pony calls back, "Wait! I wanted some rainbow too!" ------------ Courtney: You know, that was fun; Eating something like that. I can't wait to try it again sometime. ------------- Celestia: The dares of this game is getting very VERY amusing. (Smirks) Luna is going down. ----------------- "Okay, while we wait and see if Rainbow is coming back, let's continue on with the game. Heather." Chris said to Heather. She nods and spins the bottle. It rolls around until the bottle stops on a picture of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Cutie Mark Crusaders." "Yay! CMC Dare Givers!" The CMC calls out eagerly as Chris took out their dare. "Have your fur shaved off." Heather's eyes widen in horror as did most of the team players. Sweetie giggles while saying, "I suggested that one! It happened to me like that." "It's true." Apple Bloom remarks with a grin. "She done looked like a shaved dog after 'dat." "Don't remind me." "Well, Heather? Do you or anyone on your team want a chance?" Discord asks Heather with a grin. "Not a chance. Not again. I choose Lindsay." Heather remarked, giving an angry look to Lindsay. "Consider this payback." "Well...okay!" Lindsay exclaims happily, making some of the ponies’ surprise. She wants to try it? Discord made an electric razor appears then got to work on Lindsay. Once she's done, the ponies look bewildered as the mare now looks bald with all her fur shaved off. "Well, Tyler, how do I look?" Lindsay asks Tyler happily. "Err, you look...good, babe." Tyler said uneasily, not wanting to hurt Lindsay's feelings, "Really." ----------- Tyler: Like a shaved dog. Brrr! ------------- Heather sat down, smirking a bit. Payback is sweet, especially since it was Lindsay's challenge that got her bald and eliminated in Season 1 in the first place. Team players and some of the Ponyville ponies glare at her of course. "Poor dear; she looks horrible." Rarity said to her friends, shaking her head at this. "On the plus side, I see what you girls mean when Sweetie's fur was shaved off." Nyx commented, glancing at Lindsay's newfound baldiness. "It's funny!" Sweetie squeaks a bit happily. "Gwen? Have a turn." Chris said to Gwen who spins the bottle. It spins around fast until it stops on a picture of Hoity Toity. The host took the paper out as he said, "Hoity Toity. Wear one of Rarity's bad dresses." Rarity's eyes widen as her friends look uneasy. Discord smirks as he snaps his fingers, causing five familiar bad dresses to appear. Ben looks shocked as he exclaims, "What the hay is that?!" "Some o' our mistakes," Applejack said embarrassed, glancing at the dress she forced Rarity to make one time. "Well, who will do it?" Chris asks Gwen with a smile. "Will you or any of your team take the dare or challenge someone else on a team?" "Well, I'll do it." Zoey said, standing up, "If to avenge Mike's elimination." Zoey looks at the dresses then picks out Fluttershy's. After a while, she came out from another room in the thing. "So whatcha think?" "Yeah, I can see why that was a fashion disaster." Noah comments, making Rarity slaps herself on the forehead in embarrassment. ------------ The Princesses snort, almost laughing, but they were able to keep their drinks down. Chef Hatchet grunts, "Can't keep laughing, can you?" "I'm winning this, Tia." Luna snaps to her sister in determination. "You can't beat me." "Oh, we will see whose chores will be done by the time this is over, Lulu." Celestia remarks to her sister with a devilish grin. ---------------------- Noah: Seeing that disaster, I wonder what crazy or sick dares Chris got for us next. --------------- "Okay, Cody, spin the wheel!" Chris gave a smirk (or as much of a smirk as a robot can give). Cody could only shrug as he started to spin the wheel, until it landed on Time Turner. Chris then pulled out the paper, as he read, "Kick some pony in the face." "I'm out." DJ said as he got up and went to the side. "You didn't even give it a second..." Discord started. "Don't care. I'm out." DJ said as he sat down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJ: Well, at least it's better than nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What's next..." Eva muttered as she spun the wheel, landing on Maxin Talos' space. Chris pulled out a card... as he squinted. "I... can't seem to read that." "Let me see that one." Discord said as he started to read it... and then his eyes widened in horror, “Oh dear. Um, maybe this one can be skipped.” He seemed very worried in what he’s holding that was Maxin Talos’s choice of a dare. “Discord, what’s wrong? Just tell us the dare!” Chris asked off annoyed with the stalling. “It’s…” Discord swallowed hard from having a hard time. “Brave yourself to touch the scariest thing around.” “Really; doesn’t sound so tough. What’s scary around here?” Eva rolled her eyes in not feeling bothered. “Not actually here, but in the record books.” Discord exclaimed the manner of what he was saying. “And it’s...him.” He swallowed harder before he snapped his fingers in being more worried now. Discord levitated Twilight’s Book on Enemy Guilds over to the floor, as it flipped through some pages. And then a magical image of the worst of the worst appeared, that which made everyone freeze & tense up in staring in the bowels of the abyss: the Dark Elf sealed in Tartarus; Grimmore the Overlord King. “GRIMMORE,” The other ponies & baby Dragons screamed out in terror, why this scary enemy had to appear in their slumber party. “Th-th-that’s the scariest thing in Equestria?” Pipsqueak shook under the covers in being afraid, very afraid of seeing such a scary and powerful creature in his little existence. “Unfortunately, yes. And let's face it; being brave to approach the greatest villain god is no easy task. I can barely defile his image even on a hologram, watch.” Discord explained. Soon Discord tried to throw in clown getups to the guy, but they were incinerated to dust before even touching the image. That alone spooked everyone out of their mind. “SEE! It’s impossible to defile even an image, because it’s too much in reflection to him, you wouldn’t catch me doing something as to touch him!” Discord exclaimed. "It's impossible by any magic, even by Mystic & Dark Mystic magic." “Okay, seeing this one is… a tad more exclusive, I’ll reward any pony extra points in the game.” Chris McColt spoke in seeing this challenge seem extra hard here, so he’ll make extra use of it. Chris then gave a smirk. “Course, I understand if you don’t wanna.” “And you would?” Duncan remarked. “Me, well…maybe…” Chris slowly spoke to look at the image from his robot doing the action. Of course as the bot was gonna touch the image, it almost look like the holographic eyeballs moved to stare at the robot; Which in truth sent a jolt work straight to…the source. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at the other side where Chris was piloting his robot, he got a little surprise when he saw the eyes of the Demon God. Chris yelped in surprise to which he made his bot on the other side yelp backwards to land on the ground. “Yeah, real smooth Chris.” Chef rolled his eyes. “SHUT IT!” Chris shouted off in feeling annoyed by that comment. Now Celestia & Luna would have almost found that humorous to Chris, being scared of the Mighty Demon God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back at the slumber party, Chris McColt stood up to dust himself, apparently seen that he wasn’t brave enough to perform the dare either. "Note to self, have Chris murdered in a back alley by this God Demon." Heather said as she wrote down something. Most of the Total Drama cast nodded, actually agreeing with Heather's idea. The Mane 6, not paying any attention to that, blinked as Twilight whispered, "Hmmm... strange, isn't it?" "Agreed," Pinkie said. "I mean, those nuts and bolts are sticking out of his neck... he must be a Frankenstein Monster." "What?" Twilight blinked. "Nothing," Pinkie said. "Okay... Owen, Lindsay and Duncan already did theirs... which one of us should do it?" Eva pondered. “This enemy is too dangerous!” Brick wondered. They could pass it to someone... but..."Justin?" “Who cares about major points, I’ve already seen fear from those fillies' bully bodyguard to know; you shouldn’t look fear in the eye. It hurts.” Justin shook his head. "Lightning," Brick asked. "Eva?" Lightning and Eva shook their heads. Brick sighed. "Well, if I must, I must..." Soon Brick approached the Dark Elf who sat in his throne. He swallowed hard, and slowly reached his hoof out. The image narrowed his eye sight on the soldier pony, but Brick saw this, twitched in worry of what he'd do... then he just did it quickly and then moved his hoof back swiftly. Brick sighed in relief. "Actually, that wasn't as bad as I thought..." Everyone was almost too stumped to believe it, were they just letting their fear stop them, or was Brick just lucky to follow through. “No wait, I’m sensing something…something is off!” Dawn spoke to feel her head. Pinkie Pie (and Izzy) was acting weird before the other group here. “Okay, I've seen the pink one do it a couple of times... but Izzy, too?" Heather asked. “Pinkie Sense; what’s wrong?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Um, is that thing supposde to move, eh?” Ezekiel points off with a worried face. Suddenly, the image of Grimmore seems to look like it was getting out of its bored state to sit up straight. Then the entire room began to feel a bit extra hot, the ice sculptures began to melt, as the Dark Elf’s right hand was ignited in a burning blaze. “Ugh, Chris, is this your idea of a joke?” Lightning asked. Chris shook his head ‘no’. “That’s not my work either!” Discord stated. “Thou that wish to challenge me….shall face certain….” A voice appeared and many saw it coming from Grimmore, as he spoke near those before him, “DEATH!” Upon speaking those words with a heavy degree, the entire room began to mold in a crimson red color and began to warp, like everything was about to be turn into a nightmare. The gang screamed out as the inferno claw grew bigger to almost head firstly to Brick that was a deer in the headlights and it look like it get the others to. Ben suddenly dashed forth towards the book, and managed to trap it to shut it. That alone made the book’s holographic contents vanishes along with Grimmore’s image. “Everypony alright,” Ben asked. But truth be told, the room was back to normal, every pony was panting like crazy, some hid under covers or shaking like mad. The place that look like it had burns was near Brick, like his mane stood up to look white from fright in being close to almost be dealt by a powerful demon god class. Brick was seen petrified to the point where he was tipped backwards by Harold to be a statue, not feeling anything; too sacred to respond. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brick: (starts acting like Bugs Bunny from 'Haredevil Hare', making weird faces and sounds) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back in the castle, in the hidden room with Chris, Chef & the Royal Princesses, they were in the matter of looking concern in what almost happened. “Chris, what happened?” Celestia spoke. “That seems too much like a mere illusion!” Luna demanded. “Um, I’ll get to you in a minute, I... think my suit had an oil leak, and need to change it!” Chris gulped as he tried to move out, squishy sounds were heard. "I think the leak happened cause somebody got too scared from some bigger, badder, more evil dude then him.” Chef chuckled under his breath. “I HEARD THAT!” Chris was heard shouting across the room here. Then Chris returned wearing a dry suit while the princesses tried to hold their giggles from the host who ‘wet’ himself scared. “Well Chris, now you just shown the world that even you get scared against someone scary enough to make you….” Chef smirked. “DON’T SAY IT!” Chris yelled. “Now let's get back to the show!” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back with the slumber party, everyone was still recovering and some were trying to snap Brick back to his senses, but was still doing those weird sounds. “Um, okay….everyone feeling a little….okay?” Chris asked. Every one of the Total Drama gang just glared at Chris as the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Dragons and Ben just nodded. "Note to ourselves, murder Chris sooner." Gwen whispered to Heather. "Agreed," Heather nodded. “Great, then let's move on.” Chris spoke. “By the way, why were you squirming weirdly?” Rarity asked. “Ugh, nervous tinkle,” Chris McColt gulped before getting up. “Better use the restroom after that. Scuse me,” He quickly made this statement before booking it. Then the robot went to the restroom to probably do things as he said. Of course while the real ponies & baby dragons were lost, the Total Drama gang could tell, the guy must have done something with his human form to which it was embarrassing. And Discord had already heard a secret broadcast in his ear what Chef told him of Chris’s….incident that would be killer to tell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris: Again, I’m being out shunned by someone who’s not physically here, yet he scares everyone so easily? I won’t let some Dark Elf make my cast start doubting I’m not cruel & vile enough to be the most frightening thing around. Time I bring this game into a new world of hurt! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Well, I guess I should take over." Discord said. "By the way, Eva, Lightning and Justin, all three of you are out of the competition." "WHAT?" Everyone said in confusion. "Wait, for what?" Eva asked. "Chris here forgot to mention there's two parts to this little dare game." Discord said. "See, there are a few dares we have, but some of them take place in the day. So, yeah, it would be PRETTY difficult if we had some dares that we had to wait until daybreak. So, to be fair, the first FOUR people from each team to do their dare will move on to the next part. For the Groundin' Earth Ponies, that was Duncan, Owen, Lindsay and Brick here." "I can't believe this!" Eva glared. "What a rip!" Lightning said. "Look, don't complain. Aren't you glad you didn't have to do this?" Discord said. "Anyway, for Alicorns, so far, it's Sierra that's made it to Round 2, Courtney and Zoey made Round 2 for Unicorns, whilst Izzy is so far the only Pegasus to make Round 2." "What are they talking about?" Apple Bloom asked. "I have no idea..." Twilight whispered back. Heather just shrugged as she spun the wheel, as it landed on Ben Mare. "Oh, that's mine." Ben said. "No need to pull out the card, I can tell you what it is. All you have to do is to make Twilight do something shocking... that'll cause SOMEBODY to do a spit take." Noah paused... then smirked as he saw Chris coming back in, with a glass of water (or what looked like water in hand, when it was nothing in there...) "TWILIGHT, YOUR HOUSE IS BEING ROBBED, AND CHRIS HERE STOLE YOUR WALLET!" Noah yelled. "WHAT?" Twilight yelled. "What? I did no-" "Chris" yelped as he saw Twilight going into rage mode, evolving into Rapidash. Chris then did a spit take. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: (smiles) Life is good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Twilight was beating up on "Chris", Gwen shrugged as she spun the wheel, which landed on Derpy. As Sierra was recovering from her brief coma (Applejack tended to Sierra for a while as she was now back to normal), Discord pulled out a card and read, "Saw somepony in half." Sadie paused. "Hmmm... I think that would be a good dare; always wanted to attempt something like that." "WHAT?" Sierra frowned as she marched up to Sadie, who was putting on a towel as a turban. As Discord handed Sadie a saw and made a box appear, Sierra frowned, "Don't tell me you've got the GALL to pull that old sawing-in-half routine!" "Yes, if I get a volunteer." Sadie explained. "Volunteer?" Sierra pondered... then smirked. "I'll be your volunteer!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ]Sierra: Cody will definitely see that Sadie is not for him! I mean, come on, this whole thing is obviously fake! The way it's done? Really simple! Fake feet out one end, I'm all scrunched up in the other end. The oldest trick in the book! (Gives an evil smirk) Cody WILL BE MINE! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra gave a smirk as she jumped in the box as Sadie closed the box. Both hind legs and Sierra's head appeared out in each end as Sadie produced the saw and proceeded to saw the box right in half, everyone was watching in anticipation. Once Sadie pushed both ends of the box out of the way to reveal she had done the trick, Discord applauded as did everyone. Sierra just stared with wide eyes as she yelled, "Hey, don't applaud her! Look!" Sierra frowned as she jumped out of the other end of the box to reveal that she was all fine. "I'm not cut in half! I was scrunched up in the other end!" Everyone was still applauding as Sierra growled as she started to jump up and down. "STOP APPLAUDING! IT'S A FAKE!" Sierra then slowly stopped as she started to hear that her jumping on the other end was not in sync. Sierra then looked at her flank as she moved her arms... to reveal that she really HAD been cut in half. "Huh." Sierra shrugged as she started to walk off, her other half following. "Well, it's a good thing I've got insurance." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sadie: OMG, I can't believe I got in! All we need now is one more Unicorn! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As time went on, the dare game had been getting tense. Cody had gotten a dare that involved eating a bowl of gems... which he passed it off to Sam. Sam proceeded to eat the gems in record time, much to Spike's surprise. "Wow, I didn't think you'd do it." Cody said in surprise. "Not bad." Sam nodded. "Okay, there we go!" Discord said as he nodded. "With that, Izzy, Noah, Sam and Heather move on!" "Wait, what?" Everyone paused as they stared in confusion. "I haven't even DONE a dare yet!" Heather frowned. "Oh, you haven't?" Discord paused. "Well... let's see... pick up that book, from me. That's your dare." Heather blinked as she laughed. "Really; 'pick up a book'? That's your best dare yet?" Heather then proceeded to pick up the book on the table. "There, done." "Come on!" Leshawna frowned. "That's lame! Why is Heather moving on to the next round, do you have..." Leshawna's eyes then wandered over to the whispering Spike, Phobos and Ben as Leshawna remembered the conversation from the afternoon. "Oh..." Gwen paused as she frowned. "Wow... uh... okay..." Gwen spun the wheel as it landed on 'Cutie Mark Crusaders' again. Discord pulled out the card and read, "Put hair tonic on a bald pony..." "That one we thought up RIGHT after the bald one..." Sweetie said. Heather, hearing this, face-palmed, "Now I wish I took that dare..." "I'll do it!" Katie said as she took some hair tonic and put it on Lindsay... and with that, Lindsay's hair grew back to the way it was. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: All right, I guess that's good enough, but still, there are some pretty lame dares! I mean, 'Pick up a book'? What kind of dare was that? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, Groundin' Earth Ponies have Duncan, Lindsay, Owen and Brick moving on, Flying Pegasi with Izzy, Noah, Sam and Heather moving on, and Unicorns have Courtney, Zoey, Katie and Sadie moving on. So far, only Sierra is moving on, and since the wheel is useless at this point... we'll just have three dares picked from a hat." Discord said as he made the hat appear. He dumped the rest of the dares in the hat as he started to pull some out. "Okay, which one will attempt... 'Watch paint dry for an hour'?" "I'll do it." Beth said as she got up. "Okay, then..." Discord said as he put up a painting in front of Beth. "This was just recently painted. Watch it." As Beth started watching, Discord pulled out another dare. "Anybody here wants to attempt... 'Chew on Pinkie's nails'." "NO!" Josh frowned. "In that case, you're out." Discord said as he tossed the dare aside. Discord pulled out another dare, "Anyone for dumping Apple Bloom in the water well?" "Wait, wha-?" Apple Bloom started before Cody grabbed Apple Bloom. "Sorry about this." Cody said as he tossed Apple Bloom out the window and into a conveniently placed water well. "BRRRR," Apple Bloom shivered as she climbed out. "And finally, since it's between Brady and Harold here..." Discord said as he pulled out a card. "Last dare before we call it quits for now... 'Hang upside-down for the night?" "Well, if nothing else..." Brady said as he got up and started to jump out. Discord paused as he said, "Well, let's wait an hour..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fifty-eight minutes later, Discord nodded, "Time." Discord then turned to see everyone had fallen asleep. Beth, who had dropped the painting, smiled as she fell down. Discord gave a smirk as he turned to the camera. "Well, we shall continue this dare game tomorrow, which ALL of them have to do a personal dare... but you'll see in time what it is... Until then... good night, Equestria... see Cody, Sierra, Beth, Brady, Heather, Izzy, Noah, Sam, Courtney, Zoey, Katie, Sadie, Owen, Duncan, Lindsay and Brick in the morning, where they will get their second part..." Discord then gave a smirk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, in the Everfree Forest, Lyra Heartstrings was humming to herself as she was holding what seemed to be a camera. Ever since her excitement on humans, Lyra had always wanted to be one of them, so Lyra couldn't wait until she tried out her camera, getting everything in the Everfree Forest a shot. Lyra was WAY too far away from Ponyville, so she wanted to do something grand. She pulled out her camera and took a great shot of a tree. Lyra smiled as she was smiling. Not too bad, but could use some work. "Excuse me, miss." Lyra stopped as she turned to see... the same mysterious one-eyed pony that was wandering around, but Lyra didn't know that. "May I ask how you acquired... this technology?" The pony asked. "Oh, it's a gift." Lyra smiled, "From the castle to me, Lyra Heartstrings. I've been collecting a lot of these artifacts, and I've always been interested in what they do! So far, I'm getting a lot of pictures of trees, but I'm getting close! Hopefully, I can find something that..." "Never... use a camera in front of me!" The pony glared. "Why?" Lyra asked in curiosity. What was this pony's beef? "Just... don't." The pony glared. Lyra paused as she stared into the pony's one eye. "Why?" "Tell me something, Lyra." The pony glared, "Your feelings on humans. What do you REALLY think of humans?" Lyra blinked. "I wouldn't know. I haven't actually met one, personally, except for the Mag'ne." The pony frowned. "What I mean is, do you think humans and their technology can keep you safe? Do you think they won't hurt a single hair on you? When you see a pot of boiling water and a knife and a machine that that can cut horse's hooves off, do you feel comfortable? When a horse is a horse, of course, of course, do you feel comfortable that you're holding what may be something dangerous?" Lyra blinked, not seeming to understand what the mysterious pony was saying. Lyra then smiled as she aimed her camera at te pony, taking a picture. "Are you obsessed with the human world, too?" The pony just glared at Lyra as his eye started to glow red. "That's awesome! I've been trying to get into contact with the human world for ye- ACK!" Like Carol before her, Lyra dropped after the pony's laser eye hit Lyra right in the heart, causing Lyra to just... drop to the ground, not breathing. The horse frowned as he used his eye to destroy the camera, burning it down to a crisp, making sure there was no evidence of his presence. The horse then decided to move on as he limped, using his walking stick. The horse then smelled Lyra as he frowned. "Apples... so that hellspawn breeded..." The horse then glared as he turned around. He wouldn't bother with it now; he had to continue on his quest. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at the castle, Celestia could only frown in worry as she looked at the old picture of her uncle Tuerto again. She could only sigh as she looked at another picture, seeing a few ponies that were serving the six Princesses of Light. She then looked at another picture as she saw Megan hugging what looked like an almost identical twin of Applejack. This happened to be Applejack's great-great-great-great grandmother from long ago... "Why did you leave us, Apps? Why?" Celestia sighed. Celestia decided not to bother with it as she put the pictures away, and decided to turn in for the night... hopefully, tomorrow would be a better day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The next morning, the ponies and their new 'friends' were sleeping off the game...well, they were. Discord smiles as he turns into an alarm clock that ticks off.... "RIIIIIIIIINNNNNG," Discord yells out loudly like an alarm clock. "Gah," Everypony sleeping screams as they woke up. "No! Lorcan, don't kill my brother again!" Twilight screams, waking up with sweat on her face. She notices the others looking, "Sorry...foalhood trauma." "Good morning, ponies!" Chris exclaims, holding a cup of coffee (really oil). "Did you sleep well?" "Or well-ish, Ah done almost drowned." Apple Bloom whines a bit, still drying herself off. "Sorry, Apple Bloom. No hard feelings." Cody said to Apple Bloom with a meekish smile. "Right, no prob," Apple Bloom yawned a bit. "Tell you what: why don't you Mane Five, CMC and Dragons goes downstairs? We will just be a minute." Chris said to the group with a wily smirk. ------------------------ Trent: Chris plus wily smirk equals big problems. Good thing that I didn't make it. ------------------------- Duncan: I swear, Harold is going to pay if he makes me do one damn dare! ----------------------- As the mentioned Ponies leaves, Ezekiel spoke up, "I'm guessing you got some challenges for the four on each team, eh?" "Correct-o, former Gollum," Chris jokes a bit, making Ezekiel frowns at that, "Time for part 2 of our challenge. This time, we're going to make things a bit...twisty." Discord smiles as he hold up some envelopes. Owen gasps, "Eek! What are those; Death threats?" "No, they are some challenges made by...certain parties." Discord remarks to Owen slyly. "I rather they be death threats." Anne Maria remarks dryly. "In your dreams, female dog," Gwen remarked while glaring at her. The players who made it into the next around AKA Courtney, Katie, Sadie, Zoey, Heather, Noah, Sam, Izzy, Brick, Lindsay, Owen, Duncan, Cody, Sierra, Beth and Brady got the envelopes as Chris explains, "Now since we now got 4 players left on each team, all the players have individual dares that they have to do. They will have all day to think about the dare before telling us whether they want to do it or not. If at least two or more people on each team say no to the dares that they are given, their team will be eliminated, so if three people have not done their dares, and one person has done their dare, it does not matter, they are out." "So wait, so we all must agree to the dares or a team will be eliminated." Noah said to Chris, arching an eyebrow at this. "Correct! And no fair saying no to the dares right now," Chris snaps to the teams in case two teams decided to refuse their dares right now just to get out of the pressure or dares. "Awww," The TDE players playing groans a bit. "Now then, if 1 player refuses to do a dare and the rest agrees, they will still be in this challenge. If you succeed in your dare, you will score points. Those who don't do their dare by tonight, no score." Discord said with a smile. "You players each have one dare so you must do it or there will be consequences." "Don't open the letters until you leave Sugarcube Corner...and don't tell the Mane Six or their friends why you're doing these dares or that they are dares period." Chris said with a smirk. "Discord and I will see you tonight." "Good luck!" Discord said in a singsong tone with a sly smirk. "Ugh! Don't say good luck!" Brady groans a bit. "It's bad luck." --------------------------------- Sam: So us four players got a challenge to be working with. Hoo boy; I hate to see what they want us to do. -------------------------------- The TDE ponies not playing head downstairs to get some treats and some coffee. The ones that are leave Sugarcube Corner to see what challenges they will be doing. "Okay, let's see what dare I will be doing." Courtney said as she opens the envelope, "'Drink a liquid version of Sweetie Belle's mystery treat'?" "Okay, my challenge involves going into the Everfree Forest." Cody said, curious as he looks at his challenge. 'Grab something dangerous'?" "Odd; I got something like that." Noah said in amusement. "I wonder what's so dangerous." "My challenge is..." Sam said, reading his envelope. "'Go into the secret dungeon that Pinkie keeps underneath Sugarcube Corner for some reason...and stay in there for an hour'." "Brrr! Looks like you got a creepy one." Izzy laughs a bit. She looks at her challenge. "'Be normal for 2 hours'?!" "Man, you got whacked baby." Duncan laughs a bit. He smirks while looking at his challenge. "'Break a Pinkie Promise'?" Upon hearing this, Harold, who was drinking his coffee, spat it before he looked at Duncan in shock while grinning as he asked, "You're gonna break a Pinkie Promise?!" The nerd laughed at this while looking away as he gave the punk the two-handed 'Shame, shame' gesture as he said in a singsong tone, "You're gonna get it! You're gonna get it; NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH, NYAH!!!" "Shut it. I don't know if I'm going to take it yet, stupid!" Duncan snaps to Harold in annoyance. "Anyway, who will find out anyhow?" --------------- Pinkie: (glaring) My Pinkie Sense is tingling. Someone is being asked to break a Pinkie Promise. If that pony breaks it...all Tartarus is breaking loose. --------------------- Heather looks at her challenge, then her eyes widen in horror as she saw what it is, making her think 'NO'. The mare hid it from the others, looking nervous. "My challenge is...'take pictures of all of the Mane Six in their private moments and give them to Chris by tonight'." Brady said reading his challenge, "Interesting." Zoey checks out her challenge, looking surprised as she reads it, "'Dress up like Nightmare Moon and scare a couple of school foals'." She then asked in surprise, "I have to do this? But... but that's cruel!" "Not as cruel as this," Beth remarked with a shrug as she checks out her own challenge, "'Make Fluttershy cry'." ------------- Beth: I hope Chris meant cry as in 'using onions' because I don't want to hurt the feelings of my good friends. -------------- Brady checks out Beth's challenge and points a hoof, saying, "Here's a note: 'Note: When I say 'cry', I mean by any means as in onions or happy cry or something. You don't need to be cruel'." The remaining players look at their own challenges. Owen reads in shock, "'Go all day until sun set without food'; what?!" Brick reads his challenge, "'Steal the box from Twilight Sparkle's library'. Does he mean that box with the six holes in it?" "Unfortunately," Noah remarks in concern, knowing stealing the box won't be an easy task. Lindsay reads her task, "'Get Bridgette out of her room by any means necessary. Bonus points if you could cheer her up'." "You can definitely pull this off, Lindsay." Gwen said, "She needs help badly." Katie and Sadie check their challenges. The former remarks, "My challenge said 'Ride Justin the MechaBull' for a couple of minutes.' What does yours say, Sadie?" "Mine is gets some apples from an apple field orchard filled with Vampire Fruit Bats, get some apples that aren't bitten and are still alright." Sadie said, checking out her challenge. "And my challenge is...go underground, get a vast amount of gems to fill up a cart and bring the gems back." Sierra said, checking out her challenge. "I gotta watch out for something called 'Diamond Dogs', who would try to steal my gems." The players thought about this in concern. Will they do the challenges or not? --------------- Courtney: We all got to either do the challenges or not because of 2 or more players refuse, their team is eliminated. That may be a problem. -------------- Sierra: (smirks evilly) Oooooh, I am definitely doing my challenge. Ha ha ha ha! Cody is going to be impressed, I just know it! That fat ass is going down! ------------------------- Brick: I got to steal the box from the Sparkle household; Won't be an easy task. --------------------------- Cody: Whatever challenges awaits me and Noah in the Everfree Forest...I got a bad feeling that we won't like it. ------------------------------ Outside of Fluttershy's home, Brady got his camera ready while Beth pulls an onion out of a basket. The mare wants to try to get Fluttershy cry without hurting her feelings. "Got the camera?" Beth asks her boyfriend quietly. "Got the onions?" Brady ask Beth quietly right back. "Yep; we're cool." The two snuck over to the cottage. Brady peeks in to see Fluttershy in a Wonderbolts outfit, grinning to herself in a mirror saying, "Oh yeah! I am like Rainbow Dash! I am awesome; And nice. Oooh, I hope one day to be a Wonderbolt too!" The mare giggles a bit. "Oh, it's fun to imitate my good friend." Unknown to Fluttershy, Brady quietly took a picture of Flutttershy; One mare down, five more to go. As he flies off to do more of his deeds, Beth goes over to the door and knocks on it, startling the yellow Pegasus mare in the progress. "Oh my; Coming," Fluttershy calls out as she quickly took the Wonderbolts outfit off, putting it away and fixing herself up. The mare flew over to the door and opens it, seeing Beth outside. "Beth. What a surprise." "Mind if I coming in and talk?" Beth asks Fluttershy with a smile. "Oh sure; I'm always glad to see my friends. Come in." ----------- Beth: Hopefully I can make Fluttershy cry without hurting her feelings or inflicting nasty pain on her as possible. I could go for the happy cry but the onions are the easiest way. ------------ Izzy and Owen are at the outside café. The crazy one is worried, pondering whatever or not she should take the dare to not go crazy for 2 hours. Owen is worried about not eating anything all day. So far, he appears to be taking his dare. During this time, Sam heads to the secret door, mumbling, "Okay. Just stay in there for an hour. You can do it, Sam. Dakota may have got freaked out by whatever it is in here before...so be her knight and brave its dangers..." Sam swallows his fear and goes into the secret dungeon. It look crazy and something out of a horror movie...but the stallion saw nothing intense happening yet, right; Right? Just then Pinkamena appears, smiling creepily to Sam as she ask, "Hey, whatcha doing?" "Oh hey; just staying in here for an hour. No biggie." Sam remarks to Pinkamena with a smile. Looks like this creature that Dakota does exist. "Soooo...if you don't mind..." "Of course, I don't mind! I love to entertain; I love to have guests for a meal!" Sam ponders whatever or not Pinkamena meant that literally or figuratively. The Pinkie lookalike then...took out some daisy sandwich, smiling a bit; Looks simple enough so far. As Sam took the sandwich, he begins to ask, "So does anypony tell you that you look like Pinkie Pie?" "Oooh! Some do! Wanna know why? I got a big story to tell ya." Pinkamena said to Sam with a sly grin. "Sure. I'm here for an hour. So go ahead!" ------------------ As Noah and Cody heads into the Everfree Forest for their challenges, Lindsay and Courtney goes into the Carousel Boutique. They spot Rarity sitting in her drama couch, sighing happily as she looks at a picture of a stallion. "Ooooh; He isn't real but this stallion is sooooo handsome." Rarity giggles, kissing the picture happily. "If Spikey Wikey was to be a pony, it would be this one, darling." Unknown to her (but known to Lindsay and Courtney who spots them), Brady peeks into the window and took a picture of her then gallops. 2 down, 4 mares left to go. Courtney goes into the kitchen and saw Sweetie cooking. The TD mare looks a bit nervous by the fact that the CMC member has burned almost everything...even the water. Still, Courtney wants to do this dare, regardless of the problems at hoof. "Hey Sweetie; what are you up to?" Courtney asks Sweetie with a smile. "Oh, I'm making a snack for both me and Rartiy!" Sweetie exclaims to Courtney happily. "Want one too?" "Uh, I heard you make one big mystery treat." "Hey! That's my best...and it's so a mystery that even I don't know what it is! I will make one for you right now." "Can you make it liquidified? I'm on a diet of sorts." Courtney said to Sweetie quickly, not wanting to explain the full details. "Sure! I just need to figure out the blender!" Sweetie exclaims as she begins throwing some food (or what looks like food) into a blender. Courtney is a bit disturbed by this. Does this filly even know what she's doing? "Well, I'm going upstairs to cheer up Bridgette. Wish me luck!" Lindsay giggles as she trots off to go find a way to get Bridgette out of her room and maybe cheer her up. "Yeah, you'll need it." ----------- Courtney: Okay, so I gotta endure a mini-Chef Hatchet except this one is a pony and is nicer? (Pauses) Well, that does sound fair. But does she even know how to cook? ------------ Lindsay: Bridgette is so much my good friend. I want to help her out no matter what! Squee! ---------------------- Meanwhile, all the way in Twilight's Library, Heather was clutching her stuffed cat nervously as she peeked out the window. Outside, Ben, Spike and Phobos were smiling happily as Spike was holding a megaphone in front of Ben's mouth as Ben yelled out, "Attention, ALL OF PONYVILLE! HEATHER IS GOING TO BLOW UP A STUFFED ANIMAL IN FRONT OF THE CAROUSEL BOUTIQUE IN EXACTLY TWO HOURS!" Every pony that was gathered around, hearing this, was excited to hear about what they just heard, "A stuffed animal explosion?" They all cheered as they were gathering around, everyone was cheering as they headed for the Carousel Boutique to set everything up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: (groans as she holds the paper, which read 'Blow up a stuffed animal in front of EVERY PONY/DRAGON IN PONYVILLE at the Carousel Boutique') You all hate me, don't you? (Pause) Uh, not that I won't do it; I will! I will! (Shakes nervously) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, as Sadie was getting near the apple trees, she was climbing up as she was huffing. "This isn't easy with hooves..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sadie: Getting a few apples from a tree infested with bats. Sounds easy, but once you realize what's going forward, you realize it's harder than it seems... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little did Sadie know that Sierra happened to be peeking nearby. She was giving a huge smirk as she got near the tree Sadie was climbing, ninja style. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra: I want to do my task... in due time. Right now, I want to focus on trying to sabotage Sadie's dare. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over at the castle, Celestia and Luna blinked as Celestia asked Chris, "Should we do something about this?" "Come on, love triangles?" Chris said as he munched on some popcorn. "Basically, you have to be CRAZY not to break it up." "I have to side with Chris for once." Luna said. "For now, let's just watch. Sierra will understand the real reason..." "The question is, how long?" Celestia paused. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra gave a smirk as she decided to use her back legs to kick the tree, hoping to make Sadie fall off... but unfortunately, that only HELPED Sadie as a few unbitten apples fell right next to her. Sadie paused as she smiled, "Hey, how convenient." Sierra's mouth just dropped as Sadie started collecting the apples and putting them in a basket nearby. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra: (growls) DAMMIT! How does she do it? What does it take? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, little did both Sadie and Sierra know was that something else fell out of the tree and started rolling down the hill... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, as Scott was using a knife to whittle a pointing stick, Duncan was contemplating whether he should do the dare or not. Duncan paused as he gave a smirk. "Ha! Technically, I never made a Pinkie Promise!" Duncan smiled. "So, there's nothing that dare can do." "Read the back of the note." Scott rolled his eyes. "There's a back?" Duncan said as he turned his note over. As Duncan did that, something rolled right downhill next to Scott, which stopped near his feet. As Scott picked it up, his eyes widened upon seeing what he thought he just saw. Smirking, he put the item in the bag before Duncan's eyes widened, looking up to Scott. "I HAVE TO MAKE ONE SO THAT I CAN BREAK IT RIGHT AWAY, OR THE DARE'S OFF? Are they crazy?" Duncan paused. "This is going to take SOME thought..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: (smirks as he holds the Earth Ponies' McClean Invincibility Statue) Well, well, so THIS is where the statue was hiding; Uphill somewhere in the orchards? Well, that solves THIS mystery... (Smiles) I think I'll keep this for myself, and not tell anybody! As far as THEY know, this thing hasn't been found. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Here you go, Izzy." Pinkie smiled as she laid out some food in front of Izzy, whose mane was now straightened, and her eyes were more straight and narrow as she was combing her hair, "Your favorite food, the Yuck-a-berry Cupcakes from the Beyond." "Is it normal for cakes to be lopsided?" Izzy said in a rather monotone bored voice as Owen, standing next to her, was shaking nervously. Pinkie started to show concern as she said, "Come on, these are your favorites before you became... NOT...SO... UNNORMAL! Seriously, the readers are crying right now because of your normal attitude." "What are you talking about?" Izzy said in that same tone of voice. "There's nothing there but the ceilings, the walls, Owen and you." Pinkie's mouth dropped as Owen yelped, yelling "I CAN'T STAND IT!" With that, Owen IMMEDIATELY DOVE into the cakes as he started to eat them all up. Owen sighed as he said, "Oh yeah. Definitely worth it..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owen: I don't care if I just lost this, it was definitely worth it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Owen, eating large quantities of food isn't normal. You'll eventually die at a young age due to diabetes." Izzy sighed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Izzy: (pause) so... this is what doing a confessional, talking to nothing but the camera... is like? It's... certainly lonely... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie paused as she sighed. "Well, this sucks... hi, Brady." Brady, who had been hiding behind a bush, yelped as he dropped the camera. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brady: How did she know where I was? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "STUFFED ANIMAL EXPLOSION; STUFFED ANIMAL EXPLOSION AT CAROUSEL BOUTIQUE," Ben's voice was heard. Pinkie gasped as she grabbed Izzy. "Come on, maybe THIS will get you back to the crazy mood!" "Explosions are normal?" Izzy sighed as Owen was happily eating the cakes. A moment later, Sam was coming out as Dakota, nearby, was waiting for Sam as she hugged him. "Oh, Sam, I was getting worried!" Dakota sighed. "Did whatever it was down there hurt you?" "Actually, you'd be very surprised at who she really is." Sam said as the two went out. Brady paused and smiled. "Stuffed animal explosion? You know, the rest of the photos can wait!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dakota: I was very concerned with Sam. He and I have been dating, even when I was Dakotazoid. (Pause) Monster Dakota; is that what they're calling me? (Pause) Anyway, Sam and I have been through thick and thin... and thin and thinner. I love Sam, and I have no doubt Sam loves me back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, with Noah and Cody, they were travelling around in the Everfree Forest, a little nervous. "How ironic we end up with each other..." Noah frowned as he glared at Cody. Cody sighed. "I thought we both agreed NEVER to bring THAT up again..." "I know, I know, but it's just... ANNOYING, you know?" Noah explained. "I mean, let's get something straight. You're straight, I'm straight! That one scene was just a moment that we both agreed to never discussed again." "Yeah, but the yaoi fangirls are making a big deal of that one scene." Cody said. "We were BOTH ASLEEP! How were we supposed to know this?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah: Despite the tension, me and Cody? We're good friends. Yeah, the fangirls always come up to me or him with that (sighs) one scene, but just to get this out of the way... (Sighs) Just because I kissed Cody's ear in my sleep, that doesn't make me homosexual; besides... (Blush) I have a crush! (Pause) Well, sort of... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: Noah and I, we're cool. We agreed to help each other out if need be... and there it is! I know he has a crush on Katie... Sadie told me the same thing. I want to see if I can help Noah with his love problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, Noah, what do you think of people like say... Sadie?" Cody asked as they walked further. "Sadie?" Noah rolled his eyes. "She's part of the Annoying Twins, so...eh it's left or right..." "But you don't find them ANNOYING, do you?" Cody paused. "Well..." Noah paused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: The only person I told my crush on Katie so far was Twilight, and even then, she said she'd be willing to help me... seems Cody can read my mind, so I figure I might as well spill the beans... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "If you must know, I DO have a crush on one of the... well..." Noah paused. Cody gave a smirk. "I figured as such; which one?" Noah sighed. "Katie, all right? I have a crush on Katie!" "Ah, I see." Cody smiled. "When did this crush start, exactly?" "Well..." Noah sighed. "I guess a little farther back, sometime after the events of World Tour. At first, I found Katie a little annoying, mostly because she was always hanging out with Sadie. But as time went on, I couldn't help but smile at the things she does whenever we reunited, whether it was for a 'Murder the Host' meeting, or 'Replace Chris with Chef' meeting." "I thought you might have had an unusual smile when I saw your eyes not looking at your book at one meeting." Cody said. "I just thought you were looking at the PowerPoint presentation that Gwen set up." "No, it was mostly Katie." Noah said. "Tell you the truth, we talked a couple of times, but I never had the courage to confess my feelings." "Hey, you know, try to give it a shot, man." Cody smiled as they noticed a sign that said, "Dangerous thing nearby." "We're getting close." Noah said. "Anyway, you think I can?" "Why not? Better than just sticking your nose to the books," Cody smiled. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: You know, maybe Cody was right. I should try to hang with Katie sometime, and I don't think even Chris can stop me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, back at the farm, Applejack nodded as Katie got off the bull, smiling. "How'd I do?" "More than four minutes." Applejack said. "Not bad." "Thank you." Katie smiled as Sadie was returning with the basket of apples. "Thanks fer gettin' those." Applejack smiled as she looked at the apples. "It must be tough, having ‘ta get them fro’ ‘de bats." "Actually, it was fairly easy." Sadie smiled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: I'm glad that Sadie and I have succeeded in our dares! That means we only have HALF our people to worry about! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "STUFFED ANIMAL EXPLOSION, COME TO CAROUSEL BOUTIQUE!" Ben Mare yelled out. "Stuffed Animal Explosion," Applejack smiled. "Whoa, doggy, Ah'm so there!" All the Apple Family started to leave as Applejack posted a sign that said, "APPLE FARM CLOSED DUE TO STUFFED ANIMAL EXPLOSION". "What's that all about?" Sadie asked. Katie just shrugged. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, with Beth, as Fluttershy was giving a happy cry, she said, "Wow, you sure know how to tell stories, Beth." "Indeed." Beth said, knowing that she was successful in her dare, "So, how about you, Fluttershy? Did you have a special somepony?" "Well..." Fluttershy smiled. "Let me see if I can remember. In my younger years as a filly, I was shy around most boys. There was this cute little filly I know, whose name was Dexter, who was as shy as me. We were good friends, but..." Fluttershy paused as she saw Beth was now sleeping. Fluttershy just frowned as she said, "Oh, wait, did I say Dexter was shy as me? I meant he was a DAREDEVIL, AND A RIDER!" Beth woke up immediately as she listened in interest. "Oh yes. When I was a young filly, I always attended road shows. Seeing one of the fillies, named Dexter, up there, was magnificent. One day, he wanted to have immunity to all injuries, so he sold his soul to the devil..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLASHBACK "We saw each other every day... then came the day I had to leave... Dexter offered me a ride where we can go anywhere..." We then see a scene in a flowery field where a young colt Dexter, wearing a funky hairstyle, and a young Fluttershy were standing next to each other. Dexter smiled as he said, "Out there, in that field, lies our future. We will run away together, and I will show off my motorcycle skills to the world. You will be impressed with everything I always do." Fluttershy gave a chuckled as she and Dexter nuzzled. "Unfortunately, Dexter's father was dying of cancer, so he met up with Tartarus... and traded his soul to save his life. Ever since then, Dexter has been immune to everything, and became known as the Ghost Pony Rider." Months later, we see a motorcycle driven by a pony with dark glasses and a skull for his head, wearing a black jacket and shades. The pony, once known as Dexter, gave a smirk as he drove his motorcycle to the distance. END FLASHBACK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You have a superhero boyfriend who sold his soul to Tartarus?" Beth said in shock. Fluttershy groaned as she said, "No. I was being sarcastic! I was making it all up!" Beth blinked in embarrassment. "Oh..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beth: To be honest, I saw that coming... the way she was telling the story was similar to Ghost Rider. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meanwhile, back with Noah and Cody, they had arrived at two small trees as they looked up to see a couple of nests. "Birds," Noah frowned. "Birds are the most dangerous things in the Everfree Forests?" Cody paused as he looked it up, "Apparently not JUST birds... but phoenixes." Noah's eyes widened in delight, "Oh, I get it! We just need to grab the babies from the nest, because the adults are too big and they're burn our hooves!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: Glad to see we can figure out something for this. Since there are two nests, we have to grab two each. Question is, which one to take? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah nodded as he started to fly up (he's been practicing some flying, and he had to admit, it worked for him so far) as Cody attempted to do the same thing. Unfortunately, Cody didn't get a lot of practice, so he had some trouble going up. Noah nodded as he flew up and took the bird from the nest, putting it in a cage. "We'll take him back when we're done. Cody, let me help you with yours..." Cody smiled as he reached the nest. Inside sleeping was a small baby phoenix with brown skin as it woke up and looked Cody straight in the eye. Cody yelped as he ducked down. The baby phoenix blinked as he said, in a babish voice, "You know, I tawt I taw a fwing horse!" Noah peeked over the nest as the baby phoenix looked over to Noah before ducking down. The baby phoenix blinked. "Hey! I tawt I taw ANOTHER fwing horse!" Noah and Cody looked over at the nest as the baby phoenix smiled. "I did, I did! I taw TWO fwing horses!" The baby phoenix then turned to Noah and Cody as he asked, "Have you two fwing horses met?" "Grab him!" Noah said as he and Cody reached for each other... but only to grab their own hooves. This caused the baby phoenix to pull out a hammer and slam it on both Noah and Cody's hooves, causing them to yell loudly, forgetting their ability to fly as they started crashing down. "BOMBS AWAY," The baby phoenix yelled as Noah and Cody landed on the ground, causing a mere earthquake, "Aw, the poor fwing horses. They fall down and go..." The baby phoenix then started spasming as he yelled, "BOOM!" The phoenix then stopped as he gave a sadistic smile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: Okay, apparently, what we're dealing with is no ordinary phoenix baby bird. Noah and I had to think up something to get that bird... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, as Courtney was chugging down her food, Lindsay was upstairs, trying to talk Bridgette into coming out... but she had forgotten what she came for as she was now talking with Bridgette from the other side of the room about the ponies. "I mean, I love Rarity, but sheesh! I may be concerned with my nails, but not ALL the time!" Lindsay said. Bridgette, just listening to Lindsay rabble, just sighed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: I appreciate what Lindsay is trying to do, but I'm going through a lot... actually, it's not that bad. Geoff may be gone, but... I don't know... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "STUFFED ANIMAL EXPLOSION T-SHIRTS! GET YOUR STUFFED ANIMAL EXPLOSION T-SHIRTS HERE!" Phobos' voice was heard in the background. "What on earth?" Bridgette blinked as she stopped moping for a minute. She looked outside to see a crowd was gathering around the Carousel Boutique, even some of the Total Drama contestants were sitting down as Phobos was selling merchandise, Spike and Ben were walking around, Spike holding the microphone to Ben's face as Ben was giving a smile, yelling, "Stuffed Animal Explosion to go off in one hour, folks!" "What's with all the yelling?" Lindsay called from outside. "Crowd outside. Apparently, it looks like Heather is going to blow up a stuffed animal in front of every pony." Bridgette explained. "Oh, I see." Lindsay's voice was heard... From outside, her eyes widened as she yelled, "HEATHER'S GOING TO BLOW UP A STUFFED ANIMAL??" Lindsay screamed as she said, "I got to go!" Lindsay started to trot off as Bridgette sighed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: (searches through her bag as she pulled out some random stuffed animals) Okay, Amelia, Egbert, Shari, Biskit, Pietro, Kid Cat, Rocco, Pango, Croque, Stinky, Chester... wait, where's Molly? (Sighs in relief as she pulls out a duck doll) Oh, thank goodness! I thought I lost one! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, you're certain this'll work?" Zoey, disguised as Nightmare Moon, asked Apple Bloom as she saw Diamond and Silver walking along. "Don't worry! They're bullies! You won't harm anything, trust me." Apple Bloom said. Zoey nodded. "Okay, I'll try." Diamond and Silver were talking... when all of a sudden, black smoke appeared. "Hey, what the," Diamond said as her eyes widened. "No, it can't be!" "MUHAHAHAHAHA," A large pony was heard approaching the two. "NIGHTMARE MOON," Diamond and Silver screamed as they started to run off. As soon as the dust cleared, Zoey sighed as she took the disguise off. "Sheesh, I sound like Angelina Jolie!" Apple Bloom laughed. "Thanks a lot for getting them!" Meanwhile, Ben and Spike were passing by the two as Ben was smiling, yelling into the megaphone. "The animal's hair is going to be curled, and that explosion is going to be heard around the world!" Twilight, who just happened to be passing by, overheard Ben's singing and frowned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight frowned as she went over to her library. "Heather, I've overheard Ben saying something about you blowing up a stuffed animal in front of everyone! What is all this about? Because I'm here to... to..." Twilight stopped as she saw her bed shaking. "Heather?" As Twilight was going to peek under the bed, Brick was seen coming in, attempting to take a peek at the box. However, as Brick was about to reach the box, a trap door opened up and he fell down the trap door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Down near the basement, a cage door opened from the top as Brick landed on the cage as a taped recording was heard. "Hello, everyone; my name is Twilight Sparkle. I deeply apologize for the trap door, but I should have you know, that box is a mystery never meant to be solved! In fact, you're staying in here until I find the key to the door... when I find it; by tonight." Brick, hearing this, groaned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brick: I can't do this dare now! Who knew that Twilight is Crazy Prepared for everything? (Pinkie comes in) Pinkie: Hey, everyone! Put that on the TVTropes page of this story! Come on, it's been up for like, two months! Please? (Gives sad soulful eyes) Pretty please; We need more editors for this story's TVTropes page! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back upstairs, Twilight noticed that Heather was shaking nervously, clutching something as she was murmuring and blubbering. "Heather? What are you doing under the bed?" Twilight asked. "Nothing," Heather rolled her eyes. Twilight frowned. "What do you have on you?" "Nothing," Heather clutched her stuffed cat tightly. "Let me see." Twilight frowned as she used her magic to pull Heather out from under the bed. Heather groaned. "I forget you guys can do that..." Twilight then noticed the stuffed cat on Heather's hooves. "This is the stuffed animal you're going to blow up..." Twilight then noticed Heather's tears as Heather was trying to hold them. Twilight quickly figured it out. "But you got yourself into a big lie in order to protect the fact that this is YOUR stuffed animal?" Heather finally couldn't hold it anymore as she cried. "YES! YES!" Twilight sighed as she patted Heather on her good wing. "Let it out, let it out..." "Now I have no choice. I have to blow Regina up..." Heather sighed. "She must be REALLY important to you..." Twilight noted. "You have no idea." Heather sighed. "You see, back when I was a young... filly, I used to have a pet cat. My family had two cats, but I was attached to the one. Back when I was seven, I had a young Siamese kitten that I was always attached to." "Really," Twilight sighed. "Yes." Heather sighed. "Her name was Reyla. I took care of her all the time. Fed her, combed her... she was the only one I could talk to, to calm me down whenever I was stressed out... then one day, Reyla started acting strangely." "How strange," Twilight asked. "Well, she started behaving... oddly. She started to breath really hard, which wasn't really normal for cats..." Heather sighed. "My mother had to take her to a vet... Mom came back... but Reyla didn't come home with her..." Twilight looked in curiosity. "Why?" "The vet put Reyla to sleep!" Heather sighed. "WHAT?" Twilight said, in shock. "At first, I thought, "Okay, so she's just sleeping at the vet's, we'll come back tomorrow and pick her up...' but no, Mom told me that pets that are put to sleep NEVER wake up... from death." Heather sighed. "I'm sorry; I just try so hard NOT to relive that story. I was attached to Reyla since I was seven. I was ten when Reyla was put to sleep..." "Wow..." Twilight sighed, "So, what about the stuffed cat?" "Well, that's another part of the story..." Heather sighed. "For about two months, I was distraught. Nothing could ever replace Reyla in my life. She was like... a special friend that you like to hang out with. The only thing that I always turned to was a small stuffed bear that I didn't really like at all. It was a small thing, but it was the only thing I could talk to. I was in the park one day with that bear, I was still lonely and distraught... then some young boy around my age ran right into me. Naturally, I was angry. We belted out for a while... but then he noticed my stuffed bear... and offered to trade. I didn't really like that bear, so I figured, 'What other choice did I have?'...that was how I got Regina. When I saw the perfect material on her, I felt reminded of Reyla... and with that, I felt rejuvenated. I felt better, just holding that stuffed cat. For the first time, I actually... felt happy. I didn't know it until a few years later, but the guy who traded the stuffed animals with me... would turn out to be my boyfriend." Twilight stared in surprise, "Really? So, you kept this stuffed animal because she reminded you of your former cat?" "Yes." Heather said. "Regina just holds too many memories for me..." "Like me and Mrs. Buzzy." Twilight smiled. "Who," Heather asked. "Oh, hang on!" Twilight said as she used her magic to pull down a stuffed bee doll. "Here we go; Mrs. Buzzy. I got her as a young filly from my parents. Whenever Ben and I weren't hanging out together, I usually take Mrs. Buzzy out for a spin. When Ben was the Demon Pony and ran off, the only thing I could turn to was Mrs. Buzzy. I felt better, just talking to Mrs. Buzzy... but one day, Princess Celestia was in a bad mood." "Do tell." Heather said as she turned to Twilight. "I don't know whether it was because of the stress, or because she was reminded of the days that Luna betrayed her... or maybe when Ben disappeared... but either way, she was in a bad mood, and she needed to take it out on something. The first thing she saw was Mrs. Buzzy... and she started to tear her up... she stuffed toast in her body. I watched it all through the closet..." Twilight sighed. Heather stared in surprise. "Celestia did all THAT?" "She was in a bad mood. When she saw me crying over Mrs. Buzzy, Celestia looked over and realized what she did. I ran away from her, afraid, before she could have a chance to explain herself. Celestia felt bad for me, and well... she fixed Mrs. Buzzy up, and left her by the door, with an apology note, saying, "I'm sorry for what I did to your stuffed animal. Please don't consider leaving." When I saw how perfect Mrs. Buzzy was, I forgave her." Twilight smiled. Heather sighed. "That's a pretty good story, Twilight..." "Well, what are you going to do now?" Twilight asked. Heather blinked as she looked at Regina. "Well, I may have no choice but to say good-bye to Regina..." "Did you say WHAT type of stuffed animal you're going to be blowing up and WHOSE stuffed animal you're going to blow up?" Twilight asked. "Well, no, but..." Heather paused... before her eyes twinkled. "Excuse me a second..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heather: (looks over the dare paper again, looks over to front AND back) It says 'Blow up 'A' stuffed animal'. It doesn't say 'WHOSE OR WHAT TYPE OF stuffed animal'! Regina may be saved yet! (Pause) Aw, screw it, I just told the story in front of Twilight; you guys probably know now too... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at the castle, Celestia looked down in regret as Luna looked towards Celestia. "You RIPPED APART TWILIGHT'S STUFFED BEE?" Luna said. "And they call me evil..." "I was upset because of Ben back then." Celestia said. "Anyway, I don't want to talk about it." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back with Heather, she returned to Twilight as she said, "Okay, just WHAT type of stuffed animal do I have to blow up..." "You know..." Twilight said as she offered the stuffed bee to her. "Are you sure?" Heather asked. "I grew out of Mrs. Buzzy some time ago..." Twilight said. "Besides, I can always find another stuffed bee." "You don't mind this at all?" Heather asked. "Of course not." Twilight smiled. "You go on out there!" Heather nodded. "Twilight, thanks. I don't usually say this to others but... thanks." Heather then put Regina in her bag as she put the stuffed bee in a sack and started to run off, towards the site. Twilight smiled. "There goes one happy pony. One thing is for sure, you never outgrow your stuffed animals..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside the Carousel Boutique, Courtney can overheard the commotion, then yelps as Sweetie put her mystery treat that is now a drink onto the counter. "Okay, it's done!" Sweetie said happily, "Ready to try it?" Courtney cringes then mumbles to herself, "Okay, Courtney. You ate Chef's worst before all over, so this can't be different. Just drink this, win this for your team and you can watch Heather blow up whatever stuffed animal she got." The mare drinks the stuff and drank it down. Sweetie pauses then ask, "Sooooo how was it?" "It taste...great," Courtney said with a forced smile on her face. "Goodie! Come on, I wanna see something get blown up!" Sweetie giggles as she trots out of the room. Courtney nods as she follows the filly...trying her best not to throw up yet. -------------- (In the confessional, Courtney threw up right into the toilet, groaning in disgust) Courtney: UGH! On second thought, I would rather have Chef Hatchet's food than that! At least I did my dare. Hopefully Katie, Sadie and Zoey had done theirs or we're screwed! ------------------------------ Owen begins to get creep out as Izzy is at the front, saying, "This crowd looks...interesting." "Okay, you're scaring me, Izzy." Owen said in concern. "And I once endured you when you were Brainzilla." "Why? Brainzilla doesn't exist." Izzy said with a dry look. --------------- Owen: (anger mark) Chris, you jerk! I know we're good pals but making Izzy normal is too far! Oh, I hope she made it or fails because I like the crazy Izzy much better. ------------------------- Sierra grumbles furiously as she heads to the fields, "Damn that Sadie. Well, at least if I can do this challenge..." Sierra smirks as she saw an entrance to the Diamond Dogs' mines and enters. The mare saw some gems, saying, "Okay, gems, time to party." "Thief, thief," Some of the Diamond Dogs growl as they appears. Sierra saw them, getting their spears out. "Back off, you mutts," Sierra snaps as she grabs some gems. "This is my moment and I won't let you take it from me!!!" The Diamond Dogs growls as they try to pounces her, but Sierra quickly blast them with her magic. ------------ Sierra: (narrows her eyes) those mutts are soooo....going down. ------------------ Brick grumbles a bit as he begins picking at the lock. Twilight may have locked him in but his military experience will help him out. Brick smirks as the lock opens, allowing his cage to do the same thing. He mumbles, "All right; Time to get that box." Brick trots up the stairs...but he fails to see a nail on one of the steps...that is until the TD character steps on it...and screams in pain. "AAAAAARGH," Brick screams as he fell down the stairs, crashing into some stuff. ----------------- "Okay...." Duncan mumbles as he arrives at the crowd scene. "I think I know what to do...I Pinkie-Promised not to harm a little filly or a colt by acting like a villain." The stallion did his Pinkie Promise, recalling how his friends show him how to do it. Now Duncan gotta break it. He saw Nyx standing near Phobos and Mike. Duncan nods as he goes over to Nyx, using his magic to get a huge branch. Pinkie who is standing narrows her eyes. "Pinkie Sense is going off. Somepony is about to break a Pinkie Promise." Pinkie mumbles a bit. She glares to Duncan who came near Nyx. "Okay, Duncan, prove you're still a bad boy...stallion..." Duncan mumbles as he raises his branch over his head. Suddenly, what happened next changes everything: Nyx turns, smiles as she said, "Hey, Duncan. Come to see the show?" Duncan hesitates as he looks at Nyx. She looks almost like that baby blue bird that he couldn't bear to harm back in All-Stars...one that made him look less like a villain. "Hey, Duncan; Hello," Nyx asked cutely, making Duncan tremble a bit. "Can I sit on your back?" She then fluttered her eyes, which emit an adorable squeaking noise as she did so. "Oh, I can't do it." Duncan groans as he got rid of the branch. "Come on, Nyx; sit on my head so you can see the whole show." "Thank you, Duncan." Nyx asked happily before she got onto Duncan's head and then gave him a squeaky grin. Pinkie smiled at this. So Duncan isn't going to break a Pinkie Promise after all! The pink pony hums happily as she turns to watch the show. -------------- Duncan: (crying) I can't do it! When I saw Nyx, she reminded me of that baby blue bird that I couldn't harm back in All-Stars. Oh, Chris and the others are right. I suck at being a bad boy. I mean, before Total Drama, I was awesome and a total a-hole; But now? (Duncan sobs as he turns around, hiding his face) Duncan: Just go to somewhere else, not me! --------- "Ha! I knew it!" Chris exclaims with glee as he and the others watches Duncan's confession. "Despite blowing my mansion up, 'Boom Boom' Duncan can't go through with his dare!" "Good thing he didn't. If there's one I can't tolerate, is anypony hurting my family," Celestia said in a pleased tone. So apparently, Duncan got some good in him after all. "Yeah, that may cost him." Luna said seriously. Duncan's refusal to do his challenge may cost him big time. ----------------- Noah helps Cody in pushing a trampoline over to the tree where the nest it. The Pegasus asks, "Now then, you sure this is going to work?" "Possible." Cody remarks as he got onto the trampoline, jumping up and down. "Once I reach the level of the next, I will grab it." Noah nods, watching as Cody bounces up and down. That bird is as good as his. As Cody is almost to the next, the baby phoenix looks surprised and alarmed and dodges him. As Cody kept bouncing up and down, missing the bird, the target rush over to a glassed case called 'In Case Of Flying Horse, Break Glass'. The baby phoenix breaks the glass and took out a device that has a boxing glove on it. Cody was about to get another chance...when the baby phoenix jumps up, dodging his hooves and activates the device, hitting the pony with the glove right in the face. Cody yelps as he fell downward. The bird grabs stuff like a flower pot, a knight helmet, and an anvil, causing Cody to hit each one as the pony bounces up and down. Finally, the baby phoenix pulls out a stick of TNT that is lit and gave it to Cody who gasps before he fell down. Noah, seeing this, yelps and rushes into hiding when... BOOOOM!!!! Cody hits the ground and the ashes remains of the trampoline, groaning while blackened. That gotta hurt. -------------- Noah: I saw a lot of cartoons and knew that would be coming. --------------------- Sierra laughs madly as she manages to put her gems into the cart and pushes it with her horn's magic. "Oh yeah; those bitches don't stand a chance," Sierra remarks with an evil grin, "Cody-kins; mommy's coming home!" However Sierra, as she flies/gallops off with her cart, fails to see a hole in the cart itself...and gems are falling out of it quickly. ------------------------------------ Brick groans as he got up, recovering from his crash. After getting the nail out, the pony gallops upwards up the stairs, dodging anything that could hurt his hooves. "Nothing is keeping me from my mission, soldier." Brick mumbles as he got right into the upstairs. The stallion grins as he saw the box in the center, "Easy picking." But as Brick closes the box all the way, a bucket of tar fell right onto him, covering him with tar. The stallion yelps and runs around, getting a pile of pillows nearby. He now looks like a huge chicken. As Brick recovers, he unknowingly steps on Koga's tail, causing the wolf cub to yelp in alarm. Brick fell over, hitting the floor hard. As he got up, Koga peeved that his tail was stepped on, growls angrily at him. The stallion said nervously, "Wait, Koga. It's me, Brick..." Brick yelps and gallops off with Koga barking while chasing him, "Stay, stay, boy! Nice wolf!" --------- (Brick screams as he gallops through the confessional with Koga, unaware of where he is, chasing him through it) ------------------ Brady frowns a bit. He wants to take a picture of Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie...but not of their moments is private right now; Dang it. He saw Rainbow picking at something on her feathers. The stallion was about to take a picture when he spots Rainbow seeing him. "Errrr, nothing; just seeing what you're doing," Brady said nervously to Rainbow. "Bad feather," Rainbow remarks with a frown as she pulls a bad feather out from her wings. "You ain't taking a picture of me when I'm doing something private, are you?" "Err..." "Because if you are, I will dropped a storm cloud on ya and rain all over you." Brady gulps a bit as he heads back to the non-playing contestants. Leshawna remarks, "Not easier than you thought, huh?" "Don't remind me. I don't know how you guys and Sierra put up with this!" Brady complains to Leshawna. "We just stick with it." Trent comments as he gives a bag of hay fries to Gwen who smiles and accepts them. "Anyway, I was wondered what stuffed animal Heather is going to blow up." "Whatever it is, if it involves Chris's challenge, this will be an interesting sight." Gwen comments in amusement. Suddenly Sierra appears with her cart, laughing, "I did it, I did it!" "I see...did what?" Justin asks Sierra, puzzled. "I completed my dare. Took me a while but those damn mutts had fallen. I got their gems and brought the diamond gems back." "Uh...what gems?" Josh asks Sierra puzzled as he glances at the cart that Sierra is pushing. "The ones in my cart," Sierra commented. Suddenly she saw Tyler and Ezekiel chuckling a bit. "Okay, what's so funny?" "Well, sorry, don't take this the wrong way...but it appears you're about gems short...lots of them!" Tyler exclaims in amusement. Sierra blinks a bit then looks into her cart. To her shock and horror, there isn't a gem left in the cart. They're all gone! "What; where're my gems?!" Sierra asks in shock and alarm. "I know I got a cart full of them when I left!" "I guess you forgot to check for holes in that thing, eh?" Ezekiel asks Sierra as he points a hoof...to a hole that Sierra has failed to notice when she left earlier. The Alicorn notices then made one big reaction. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Sierra fell to the ground, freaking out, drooling and looks like she is going into a state of panic attack. The other ponies notice, looking worried. Dr. Hooves (AKA Time Turner) ask in concern, "Is she all right?" "Oh, she'll be all right." Eva remarks to Dr. Hooves with a grunt as Sierra twitches around on the ground. "She had a rough day." ------------ Eva: Looks like the freak is at the end of her rope there. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets kicked out by the end of this. (Pause) Unless our team or some other did, but I hope not. ----------------- Cody paused as he was eating an apple, trying to enjoy it as he sat down on something. Noah was patting his back as Cody sighed, "I don't know... after our first two attempts, I have my doubts on getting this bird." "Oh come on. You just got unlucky the first couple of times." Noah explained. "I don't know. Maybe I should give up on this dare." Cody sighed. "Come on, Codester. Sure, it's not going your way... but hey, I know you'll get it!" Noah said as he smirked as he was going near a plunger. The plunger was attached to the seat that Cody was on, and the seat happened to be packed with dynamite, but Cody didn't notice as Cody asked, "You really think I can?" Noah smiled as he said, "Yeah! You'll even get a big bang out of it, too!" Noah then pushed the plunger down as he sent Cody flying in the air... However, Cody didn't notice as he was still eating his apple. "Thanks, Noah. That takes a load off my mind." The baby phoenix watched as Cody flew past him. The baby phoenix then grabbed the apple and smiled as he put his hand on the apple, plucked out the worm inside, ate the worm, and tossed the apple to the side. Cody was about to grab another bite... only to realize the apple wasn't in his hand. Cody looked down to see he was now floating in the air. Cody yelped as he started to fall down. Cody then sighed in relief as he used his hoof, which he used his Alicorn magic on to get fingers, to cling on to a branch. Cody sighed in relief... Before the phoenix bird came over and started hopping on the branch. "Hey, cut it out! Don't do that!" "Look, pitties!" The phoenix bird smiled as he lifted one finger. "This little pittie went to market!" He let the finger go as he lifted the second finger. "This little pittie stayed home!" "No!" Cody shook his head frantically as the phoenix bird let go of the finger. "This little pittie had roast beef!" The phoenix bird plucked the third finger off. "And this little pittie had none!" Cody screamed as he started to fall again. "Well what do you know? I ran out of pitties." The phoenix bird gave a smirk. Cody screamed as he frantically fell. "NOAH! NOAH!" The phoenix bird flew up from atop a slanted branch as he tossed down a rope to Cody. "Here, fwing horse!" Cody then grabbed on the rope as he sighed in relief. He then started to climb up the rope... not realizing that the rope was attached to an anvil that was ready to fall on Cody. The bird could only munch on some popcorn as the anvil fell down. Cody yelped as he ran down to the ground, the anvil crushing Cody flat as it started to tear up most of the forest. It then stopped as it pulled Noah near the hole, sighing as he was looking at a picture of Katie, drawing little hearts on it. Noah looked up... and yelped as he put the picture away, and looked down at the hole. Noah gulped as he pulled out the rope and the anvil out. Noah then looked down in the hole. "I'll save you! Where are you, Cody? Speak to me!" Noah then heard whistling... from the side of the anvil. Noah's eyes widened when he saw Cody's Alicorn form being flattened against the hard side of the anvil. Noah then pulled Cody out as he sighed. "This is apparently no ordinary phoenix bird." "I know..." Cody sighed as he straightened himself out. "We need to think this out more..." --------------- Brick sighs as he locks the closet. The stallion was able to trapped Koga in there, the wolf cub is barking, wanting to get out. "Sorry, boy," Brick mumbles as he heads into the bathroom to clean himself off. "I got to win this..." As Brick turns the faucets, he hears a weird noise coming from the sink. The pony looks concerned. That doesn't sound good... Suddenly the sink spits a wave of water at Brick, causing him to scream as he was send flying out of the bathroom, bouncing off the walls and hitting the ceiling. The military Earth pony groans as he fell right into a hole in the ground... Wait. 'Hole in the ground'; there wasn't one before! As Brick tries to get out, he finds himself lifted up and saw part of the ceiling opening up to the outside. Brick realizes what he's in: a huge cannon that is about to go off with him in it. "Oh horse crap." Brick whines a bit. Soon the cannon went off, Brick screams as he is send flying right into the sky...before exploding in the sky like a bunch of fireworks. The ponies whose saw this near Rarity's home cheers on, in amazement, unaware of what happened at the library. "Yeah, fascinating," Izzy said boredom. Owen looks worried. Is his filly friend ever going to snap out of it? ------------------------ Harold: Man, I got a bad feeling that Brick has failed his dare big time. I think we're going to hit eliminations soon...if we don't get enough points that is. ---------------------- Cody holds the ladder as Noah climbs up it. The former isn't going to let some crazy baby phoenix get the best of him. "Come on, Noah, come on; get the bird." Cody snaps as Noah reach the nest. He remarks, "All right, now come on, give me the bird! Give me the bird!" Noah frowns, getting a bit irritated. --------------- Noah: (frowns) If I had hands and the producers would allow me to, I would give him 'the bird'! ------------ Noah tried to reach for the bird... but he missed as Cody accidentally let go of the ladder. Noah yelped as he started to scream. "CODY! CODY!" Noah said as he started to hang on... and the ladder started to come apart as they were now stilts. Noah smiled. "Oh; Stilts." Noah smirked as he did a dance number with the stilts... until he lifted up one foot... and one of the stilts fell right down. Noah yelped as he clung on to the remaining pole of the ladder. Cody yelped as he caught the stilt, allowing Noah to fly down to Cody, glaring at him. Cody chuckled. "I guess I should pay attention to what I'm doing..." Noah then face-palmed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: Lesson learned, I'll have to do a few things myself... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, Bridgette." Lindsay said, knocking on the door. "At least try to come out. You haven't been out in that room for over a day!" "Actually, I have come out of that room... once. To go to the bathroom," Bridgette said in a deadpan voice. "You have?" Lindsay asked. "Wow." "Yeah. Apparently I don't have bladder problems." Bridgette said. "I see..." Lindsay smiled... then paused. "Anyway, at least come out and watch the stuffed animal explosion; for me?" "Sorry, I just can't." Bridgette sighed. "I'm still trying so hard to forget Geoff's elimination..." Lindsay sighed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: Well, at least I got her to stop crying... that's a plus, right? (sighs) I don't know... I need to think... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Lindsay went downstairs to give herself some time, Dawn and B were walking upstairs as they were talking. "So... B, you really think the animals can be friendly?" Dawn asked. "At times they can be friendly, but beware, for there are SOME that... aren't friendly, you know?" B smiled as he patted Dawn on the head. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ B: I'm glad that I can hang out with Dawn. For all the times that I spent talking with the others, I never had enough time to spend it with Dawn, other than finding the Invincibility Statue. Speaking of which, if push comes to shove, me and Dawn have agreed to give the statue to someone who REALLY needs it. The question is, who? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of a sudden, both B and Dawn heard sighing from the other room. Dawn was surprised as she and B came over. "Bridgette? Lindsay STILL hasn't gotten you out yet?" "I know she's trying to cheer me up, but at least I finally stopped crying." Bridgette sighed. "I'm pretty much over Geoff being gone, but I'm still depressed." "Hmmmm...that does seem like a very interesting scenario..." B paused. "What to do, what to do..." At that time, Ezekiel, deciding to get something in the Carousel Boutique to drink, came in and noticed Dawn and B near where Bridgette was locked up, "Hey fellas. Bridge still down in the dumps?" "Afraid so... and Lindsay is nowhere to be seen..." Dawn sighed. "Listen, I don't know if Lindsay is allowed help, but Bridgette, I want to see if I can help you out in anyway." "So do I." B said as he neared the door. "I know that whenever I feel depressed, I usually go into a song." Ezekiel said as he pulled out a guitar. "Song," Dawn asked. "You can sing?" "Well, World Tour can prove it, so yes." Ezekiel said... then shuddered at the memory of the days of World Tour, when he transformed into the freak. "Maybe you can try singing it to Bridgette." B said. "Come on!" Dawn smiled. "Well... all right." Ezekiel said as he tuned the guitar and started to hum a song. "You know, whenever I feel depressed, I use to think of my favorite things... farm work... sunflowers... your own family... nice drives through the roads..." (To the tune of "My Favorites Things" from The Sound of Music) (Ezekiel) Ice cream on waffles and cartoony puppies Lovely warm weather and small swimming guppies, Two of your pets going out on a fling, These are a few of my favorite things! Dawn and B smiled as they started to bop their heads to the beat. Bridgette listened as she was now interested in what Ezekiel was singing. Blue coated pandas and young laughing lizards, Tennis and football and your working gizzards, Doctors that can pull out one of your fangs, These are a few of my favorite things! Bridgette just had to giggle at the lyrics. She just... found them pretty funny. A little flower called a chrysanthemum, Cupcakes and muffins and some brand new chewing gum, A lot to think on while you drink your Tang, These are a few of my favorite things! When I feel down, when I feel bad, When I'm feeling blue, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I will feel like glue! "Like glue!" Bridgette laughed as she peeked outside the door. "Wow, Ezekiel, is that the best rhyme for 'blue' you can think of?" "Well, it rhymes, eh." Ezekiel shrugged as Bridgette came out. "You know, you're right. I should think of my favorite things... surfing on a surfboard, getting the top record in surfing..." Bridgette sighed. "Relaxing at the beach..." Dawn smiled as she said, "Come on, let's all sing!" Everyone nodded. (Bridgette) Ice cream on waffles and cartoony puppies Lovely warm weather and small swimming guppies, Two of your pets going out on a fling, These are a few of my favorite things! Ezekiel smiled as Bridgette started to dance around. Dawn smiled as she started to sing. (Dawn) Blue coated pandas and young laughing lizards, Tennis and football and your working gizzards, Doctors that can pull out one of your fangs, These are a few of my favorite things! B smiled as he hugged Dawn as Bridgette gave Ezekiel a thank-you hug. (B) A little flower called a chrysanthemum, Cupcakes and muffins and some brand new chewing gum, A lot to think on while you drink your Tang, These are a few of my favorite things! Ezekiel smiled as he was about to sing... "BRIDGETTE! YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ROOM! THAT'S GREAT!" The music stopped as the ones singing turned to see that Lindsay had come in. Lindsay was beaming happily as she hugged Bridgette. "I'd knew you'd come out!" Lindsay smiled. "Well... you sorta had help..." Bridgette sighed happily as B, Dawn and Ezekiel looked down. "Sorry. We know this was your dare, but we just couldn't stand to see Bridgette depressed." Dawn explained. "That's all right." Lindsay smiled. "At least she's out of there." Bridgette smiled at the four. "Seriously, thanks guys. I feel a little better, knowing I have good friends to rely on, even you Zeke." Ezekiel just gave a small smile to Bridgette as he blush a little. "Well, I don't know if this counts as succeeding or failing, but I feel that you coming out was good enough for me!" Lindsay smiled. "Come on, let's go watch a stuffed animal, thankfully none of them being mine, blown up." As Lindsay ran out the door, B and Dawn quickly followed. Bridgette and Ezekiel stayed behind as Bridgette turned to Ezekiel. "Thanks for everything, Zeke. You made me smile again." Bridgette then gave a quick nuzzle to Ezekiel, as he stared in surprise. "Just keep in mind; I'm still wanting to get back with Geoff." "Of course," Ezekiel smiled. "Geoff is lucky to have a girl like you. I'm sure he would have wanted you to win this for him." Bridgette gave a small smile as she started to gallop out. Ezekiel gave a smile... then a sigh as he started to tune his guitar. (Ezekiel) When I feel down, when I feel bad, When I'm feeling blue, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I will feel like glue! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bridgette: (smiles) It took a bit, but I'm back! Geoff, if you're watching, this is for you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Seeing as how we seem to have musical numbers in EVERY episode..." Chris paused to think, smirking devilishly. "What about the last episode?" Celestia asked. "Were those Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 pieces the musical numbers?" "Yes, those WERE the musical numbers last episode." Chris smiled. "Anyway... since we seem to have them every episode...think we can go all the way with that, like we did World Tour?" "I guess so..." Celestia said. "But only when the characters feel like singing." "All right, all right," Chris smiled. "You know; should we count this as a succeeding or fail on Lindsay's part?" Chef asked. "Well, Bridgette's out of the room, but Lindsay had little to no involvement." Discord said. "Well, we'll see." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back with Noah and Cody, Noah just rolled his eyes as Cody had put a nest in his mouth and put a sign above his head saying, "Home Sweet Home" on it. "EATING THE BIRD?" Noah frowned. "Isn't that dangerous, considering he's a phoenix?" "I'm not eating him; I'm just putting him in my mouth so I can spit him into the cage." Cody muttered through his mouth. "Just whistle." Noah rolled his eyes as he whistled. The baby phoenix bird happened to be walking when he saw the nest. The baby phoenix bird was about to climb on it... but then a passing chicken happened by as she laid dibs on the nest, getting comfortable. Noah, watching this, stared wide-eyed as the chicken started laying eggs in the nest... more specifically, Cody's mouth. "LOOK WHAT I DID! LOOK WHAT I DID! LOOK WHAT I DID!" The chicken said excitedely as it hopped off the nest, celebrating. The baby phoenix bird watched as Cody recovered, giving a huge smile full of eggs as he looked at the bird. The bird smiled as he said, "I wike him. He's siwwy!" The bird then clapped Cody's cheeks as he squashed all the eggs. Cody frowned as he got up and started chasing after the baby phoenix bird, rushing past the chicken, leaving her in... a bra and panties. The chicken then giggled sheepishly. Noah just decided to follow suit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: It's either do or die. Either Cody gets this, or I'm the only one who succeeds in getting my bird. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, back with the crowd in the Carousel Boutique, everyone was excited as they were now seated, awaiting the results of the stuffed animal explosion. While a few people, like Leshawna and Izzy, knew what the stuffed animal was, none of the others knew what type Heather was going to blow up. And then, Heather, wearing a daredevil outfit, walked out as she yelled, "QUIET, ALL OF YOU!" Everyone was silenced as all attention was turned to Heather, holding a bag, containing the stuffed animal. "Okay, who wants to blow up a stuffed animal?" Everyone cheered and hollered (except for Izzy, who was just so depressed because she was normal), as everyone chanted 'Stuffed animal, stuffed animal'! "Here it is!" Heather said as she pulled out the stuffed bee Twilight gave her. Everyone cheered... except for Izzy, who noticed something. "Wait a minute! HALT!" Everyone stopped as they looked at Izzy in confusion. "I'm sorry, but THAT IS SO NOT THAT STUFFED ANIMAL THAT ME, LESHAWNA, BEN, SPIKE AND PHOBOS SAW IN HEATHER'S ARMS YESTERDAY!" Izzy frowned. "I may be crazy and dumb, but I KNOW you had a DIFFERENT stuffed animal!" Izzy then started to laugh like crazy as her hair became unfurled. "In fact, what is with my old hair? Get me my crazy style any day!" Owen, seeing this, smiled. "Now THERE'S the Izzy I know!" "Hey, I survived two hours, didn't I?" Izzy laughed. Everyone paused as Phobos frowned, turning to Heather. "Yeah, just what are you trying to pull here? You're not fooling anyone! You did NOT have a stuffed bee!" "What?" Heather rolled her eyes. "I said, I have to blow up 'A' stuffed animal. I didn't say I would blow up 'THAT' stuffed animal." Everyone was not listening as they started to boo... "Hey, all of you, shut up!" Everyone stopped as Leshawna came up to the podium. "I think we ALL know what's REALLY going on here..." "What's Leshawna doing?" Gwen whispered to Trent. "Obviously, Heather put a LOT of time and effort into her daredevil costume... that SHE accidentally grabbed this stuffed bee by mistake!" Leshawna gave a smile. Everyone paused... as they all nodded and muttered, "Oh, okay! That makes sense!" Leshawna smiled as she patted Heather on the head. "You wait right here, Heather. I'll go get the real one from the Library. You wouldn't want to keep your public waiting..." "Leshawna, no, wait!" Heather started to whisper, but Leshawna was already leaving. Gwen, noticing Leshawna was leaving to get whatever stuffed animal Heather had, decided to follow her in curiosity. Heather then smiled nervously as the crowd was now chanting 'WE WANT THE ANIMAL! WE WANT THE ANIMAL!' Heather smiled nervously as she said, "Uh, yeah, animal, animal, whoo!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Okay, something's up that Leshawna knows about Heather that I don't... and whenever Leshawna knows something about anything... you just know you have to listen to her... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, Leshawna, what's up? What is it you're not telling me?" Gwen asked as she and Leshawna entered Twilight's Library. "Well... let me see if I can put it this way..." Leshawna then gave a chuckle. "Heather owns a stuffed cat... named Regina, and she loves it! She denies it, but I can see she loves that doll." Gwen looked at Leshawna in surprise as she started to laugh. "No way! Heather? Owning a stuffed animal? And after criticizing most of us on how sleepovers are so childish and how we behave like children is so immature? What a hypocrite!" "I know!" Leshawna gave a smile as she looked around. "Come on, come on, let's go search her bag..." Leshawna smiled as she and Gwen got near the bag. Leshawna opened the bag as she smiled, noticing the stuffed cat in there. "There it is, her little stuffed cat, the one she loves. Let's see her do it..." "You know..." Gwen paused. "I don't think that Celestia would like it if you TRIED to help sabotage Heather..." Leshawna laughed. "Oh come on. Even if she can't do it, it's not like she can protect herself with a... with a..." Leshawna's eyes bug out as she saw what ELSE was in Heather's bag. "Oh you have got to be KIDDING ME!" Gwen sighed as Leshawna pulled out the item in question. "I guess NOW you know there's a MaClain invincibility statue on every group. And before you say anything, Heather HAS to give you the statue willingly, you can't steal it or take it by force." Leshawna sighed. "The Dev Team thinks of EVERYTHING, don't they?" "You have no idea." Gwen sighed. "Anyway, even if she was in danger, Heather has her statue, and it keeps her safe until the Final Twenty." "Final Twenty," Leshawna sighed. "Well, we're screwed. Heather will never give that thing up..." "Not for now, but..." Gwen sighed. "I know this is crazy, but for now, you guys should try getting good with Heather. I'll try to do it too, but I can't guarantee..." "I suppose..." Leshawna said as she noticed the paper next to the stuffed cat. "There's Heather's dare..." Leshawna looked at the dare... and her eyes widened. "You know what? Heather's right! Look!" Gwen looked over at the paper... and her eyes widened. "She was right! She DID say blow up 'A' stuffed animal! She didn't say blow up 'HER' stuffed animal.' Leshawna smiled. "You know, we all have stuffed toys... we all love them..." "We do..." Gwen smiled. "You know, most of us may hate Heather, but she has a bit of a heart of gold..." "Heather DOES love Regina..." Leshawna sighed. "As Regina does love Heather..." "I guess..." Gwen sighed. "We shouldn't do that to Heather, no matter how tempting... besides, we'd be no better than her..." Leshawna and Gwen smiled as they zipped up the bag and started to leave. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Sometimes, I guess Heather can be good... if circumstances allow... we're going to let her keep her stuffed cat... I'm sure she'll come out eventually and admit to it... (Smirks as she pulls out a notepad) I can't wait to put this on my blog! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back with Heather, she looked at the crowd nervously as they continued chanting. "Look, Leshawna and Gwen are coming back!" Izzy called as Leshawna and Gwen returned next to a nervous Heather. "And both of them are empty handed!" "WHERE'S THE STUFFED ANIMAL! WE DEMAND THE STUFFED ANIMAL!" Phobos yelled. "ENOUGH!" Leshawna frowned. "Heather HAS the stuffed animal. She's blowing it up!" "She doesn't have a stuffed animal! She has a stuffed bee!" Phobos called. "Did she say what TYPE of stuffed animal she was going to blow up?" Gwen frowned. "Well..." Phobos paused. "No... I guess she didn't..." "Exactly," Gwen smiled. Phobos smiled, "All right. I guess it doesn't matter. HEATHER! HEATHER! HEATHER!" Everyone was chanting Heather's name as Heather sighed in relief. Heather figured that now Gwen and Leshawna both knew her secret, but she decided not to worry about it as she put the stuffed bee on a pump and started pumping the stuffed bee up as it inflated. It grew and it grew and it grew until... the stuffed bee started to explode around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: (laughs) THAT IS SO AWESOME! TVTropes page, you have GOT to add that in! (Pause) Oh it feels SO GOOD TO BE BACK! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone cheered as the explosion cleared up and it started raining stuffing. "Hmmm..." Ben smelled the stuffing as Twilight came over. "Smells like... toast..." "Yeah, toast..." Twilight chuckled. She shrugged as she smiled. She could always revive Mrs. Buzzy again when nobody was looking. "Great job," Phobos laughed as he patted Heather's back. "I didn't think you'd do it." "Well, you know me!" Heather gave a smirk as everyone applauded. Heather then frowned as Gwen and Leshawna approached, Gwen said, "You did great, Heather." "Good job." Leshawna smiled. "I'm sure you are." Heather rolled her eyes. She paused as she looked at Leshawna and Gwen. "You guys didn't touch anything in my bags, did you?" "No, we didn't." Gwen shook her head. "And I'm guessing you know that statue is there now." Heather said as she looked over at Leshawna. "It's still in your bag, safe and sound." Leshawna nodded. "Well, I'm going to spray it with disinfectant, just in case." Heather said as she got up. She paused as she turned to Gwen and Leshawna, "Gwen; Leshawna?" "Yes?" Gwen and Leshawna gave a smirk. "Than-" Heather started... then noticed there was still a bit of a crowd. Heather frowned as she said, "Stay off, losers!" "All right, Heather." Leshawna and Gwen smiled as Heather left. Gwen nodded. Guess Heather still wanted to keep her reputation for a while... All of a sudden, everyone heard screaming. They all turned towards the Everfree Forest. "That sounded like Noah and Cody!" Sadie said. "Cody's in trouble?" Sierra gasped. "We better check it out!" The Total Drama ponies started to gallop off as the Mane Six blinked in concern. They decided to follow suit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia's eyes widened, "Something's up. Luna, Discord, we need to check it out. Chris, we need you to stay here and communicate through the robot." "All right," Chris nodded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rewind back to a few minutes earlier. The phoenix bird climbed up a tree as Cody entered the tree and started to grab for the bird. "HELP; HELP; UNHAND ME YOU BRUTE! HELP," The bird started to fake scream as he pulled out a grenade, pulled the pin out and gave the grenade to Cody, who secured it. Cody smiled as he went down, starting to laugh. "I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!" From up on the nest, the baby phoenix bird looked towards the camera as he said, "He's got it, and he can have it!" The baby phoenix bird then covered his ears as an explosion happened around Cody (strangely around the same time as Heather exploding the stuffed bee). The baby phoenix then peeked out the nest as he said, "You know, I get rid of MORE fwing horses that way!" The baby phoenix then pulled out a small chalk thing as he marked down a number of 'Flying Horses' he took down. Back down on the ground, Cody groaned as Noah helped him up. "Forget the bird. Let's just let it go." Cody sighed. "At least you can succeed in your dare..." "Sorry, Cody," Noah sighed. "Hopefully, this doesn't cost you..." "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Cody sighed as the two started to walk. "You know, we're a little out of the way..." "And this is strange... strange air..." Noah paused. "It feels like..." "Hey, look! Some pony's lying on the ground!" Cody said, pointing to what seemed to be a body. The two then went towards it as Cody looked closer. "Doesn't that look like that Lyra girl?" "Indeed. What is she..." Noah paused, "Lyra, hey! What are you doing... here?" The two looked down and noticed that Lyra didn't seem to be moving. Cody gasped as he checked for a heartbeat. "Noah... her heart isn't beating..." "You don't think she's..." Noah and Cody yelped as they both screamed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah: Oh, this is bad, this is VERY bad! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Come on, come on, you're okay, you're okay!" Cody said, trying to move Lyra. "Snap out of it, please!" Noah said. "I can't believe this!" Cody said as he tried to perform CPR on Lyra. Unfortunately, that was when ALL the people who went to investigate suddenly arrived. Everyone just stared in shock... Except for Pinkie, apparently, "What's going on, I can't see a thing!" "She was like this when we got here, we swear!" Cody said, trying to tell people not to get the wrong idea. "What happened?" Twilight said as she tried to check for a pulse. "We don't know. We were walking around the forest, and we found her this way!" Noah yelped. "Let me see..." Celestia, who had just appeared, said as she came over. Luna and Discord, along with Chris McColt, followed only mere seconds later. "What's wrong with her? Please tell me..." Twilight said. "She isn't dead." Celestia sighed as she attempted to explain. "Don't worry, nothing happened. She just got... parafried, that's all." "Parafried," Sierra asked. "What's parafried?" "Paralysis and petrification at the same time," Celestia explained. "Look, I can't explain this all now, but for now, we're going to get Lyra to our castle hospital." "Princess... is this something to do with the warnings you gave us yesterday?" Twilight asked. Celestia paused as she turned to Twilight. "It may, it may not. Don't concern yourself over it. For now, Twilight Sparkle, you and your friends just go home. I'll explain everything... not today, not tomorrow, but soon..." Twilight, not wanting to push the matter further, decided to abide to the princess's wishes and nods to everyone. "Come on, guys..." As everyone started to leave... "Not to the other new arrivals." Celestia said. "We need you all here for a moment, then you can go back." Everyone just nodded as they stayed there; Twilight and the others were now out of hearing shot. "About what you two saw..." Celestia said. "For now, don't concern yourself over it. What happened to Lyra, it's only temporary once we make a cure for parafrication." "Why not just say she's 'petrified'?" Cody asked. "It's... a little more complicated than that." Celestia said. "Look, let's not focus on that for now..." "Let's just worry about the results of your challenges, shall we?" Chris asked as he galloped forward. Everyone nodded as they sat down. "Okay, well... here's the thing... while one team has all four members completed a dare, most of the other teams have at least a person FAIL their dare." Chris said. "So, let's get down to business..." "First place... The Magical Unicorns! You're all safe tonight!" Discord said. "Congratulations to Courtney, Katie, Sadie and Zoey for completing their task." The Unicorns smiled as they applauded. Good work for them. "Second place... is the Flying Pegasis!" Chris said. "Seems only ONE person failed to do their dare... and that person... was Izzy." Everyone stared in shock, even Izzy. "Wait, what? But how did she fail?" Owen asked. "Nothing personal, but the challenge was for her to be NORMAL for TWO hours." Chris mentioned. "I was, and that was a horrible experience!" Izzy frowned. "Well... you only turned back to crazy at one hour, fifty-nine minutes... and FIFTY-NINE seconds!" Chris said. "Sorry, we kept track." Luna said. "Oh..." Izzy groaned. "For the others... Sam, you did great, Heather, you did a good job in blowing up a stuffed animal, and Noah, you've got your bird. Speaking of which, you may release it..." "All right..." Noah said as he released the bird from the cage, which the baby phoenix bird that was normal flew right home to its nest. Alicorns and Earth Ponies just looked at each other in concern... that meant they were in last place. "Earth Ponies... you're in last place. You all failed your dares. I'm sorry to say." Discord explained. "Okay, me failing the box thing I understand... Owen losing the food challenge I understand... even Duncan couldn't do the Pinkie Promise... but why did Lindsay fail?" Brick asked, pointing to Lindsay, who just blinked in confusion. "Her job was to get Bridgette out of the room... and she didn't do that. Three certain people, who SAT OUT THIS CHALLENGE, helped in that." Chris explained. "My bad," Ezekiel sighed as Dawn and B sighed. "Sorry..." Dawn said. Bridgette smiled as she hugged them. "Hey, don't worry about it." "Oh... so I lost? Shame..." Lindsay sighed. "So, we're in third place?" Beth said in surprise. "Was I the only one who was successful in the dare?" "Yes..." Brady sighed. "Sorry, I couldn't get the others' embarrassing moments in time." "I at least TRIED to do my dare..." Sierra sighed. "I was OWNED by a baby bird." Cody groaned. "Well, congrats to the Magical Unicorns and Flying Pegasis for completing their challenge!" Chris said. "Alicorns, Earth Ponies... sorry to say, two of you will be going home..." "We'll see you later tonight..." Celestia sighed as she lifted Lyra in the air and started to disappear. The other peoples started to follow suit as the contestants started to walk off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owen: Suddenly, I'm dreading the worst in this game... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey Zeke; Bridgette told me how y'all cheer her up." Applejack said to Ezekiel as the Apples and the Earth Ponies came back. "'Dat was mighty nice o' ya." "Aww, thanks, Applejack," Ezekiel said with a smile. "Consider yerself an honorary member o' de' family." Applejack chuckles a bit. Then she noticed Duncan looking down. "What's up wit' yew, Duncan?" "I rather not talk about it." Duncan said in sadness as he goes to the outhouse and goes in. "Duncan, that's not...oh, forget it." Owen said to his friend in concern. "Duncan is upset because...actually, I can't tell ya, but it involves not hurting Nyx." "Now why would he wanna do 'dat?" Applejack asks Owen puzzled. "Err, he was...dared...by somepony to break a Pinkie Promise...and he promised not to hurt Nyx...and he couldn't go through with it?" Owen asked Applejack while sweatdropping. "Well, shucks, there's nothing wrong o' not doing 'dat. 'Dat's a nice thing, keeping a promise an' being nice." Applejack said with a chuckle. "Ha! Lighting says that Duncan was a juvenile jerk who lost his edge!" Lightning laughs in amusement. "Lightning should go jump in a ditch." Applejack remarks to Lightning in annoyance. "Hey! No one tells Lightning what to do! Lightning will jump in a ditch when Lightning says so!" Lightning snaps...then jumps right into a ditch nearby. "Ha! Lightning told you so!" "Feller got rocks in his head, ain't he?" Applejack asks the TD team in amusement, shaking her head at Lightning's ego/stupidity. "Yep," The team remarks dryly. -------------------------- Scott: Yeah, Duncan shows that his villain days are over. He couldn't break a Pinkie Promise just to hurt a filly. (Smirks) He's going out. And of course, there's also Owen, who messes up his challenge first. Both are winners or runner-ups and both are big threats. ------------------------------- "Gee, what happened 'ta yew, sugar cube," Applejack ask Brick, glancing at his injuries from his failed attempts. "Got run down by a bull?" "Err, long story." Brick said sheepishly. "So what was in that box that Twilight has?" "Shucks, who knows? We done haven't found 'de keys yet." Applejack remarks to Brick with a shrug. "Could be anything at 'dis point." "I see." Brick said with a nod. Perhaps it was best that he didn't steal that box. He hates to mess up the ponies' hopes of finding out what's inside. ----------------------------- At Sugarcube Corner, the Magical Unicorns are celebrating. Twilight is there with Rarity and Pinkie. They have no idea as to what this party's about but it must be important. "Hey Bridgette; It's nice to see you out." Trent said to Bridgette with a grin. "Thanks, Trent." Bridgette said with a smile. "Soooooo...are you still feeling sad about Geoff?" Zoey ask Bridgette in concern. "I was...but kind words from Ezekiel made me realize something else as well: Geoff would want me to move on even if he's gone so that's what I'm going to do." Bridgette said with a smile to her friends. "That's good to hear." Twilight said with a smile. "I got to confess: I broke that rule myself when Ben disappeared, but..." Gwen saw Heather sitting by herself. She smiles and got up. Mike, noticing, asked the Goth girl, "Whatcha doing?" "Going to sit by Heather," Gwen explains, much to the shock and concern of her friends. "Uh, is that wise?" Sadie asked Gwen in worry. "Right, she's soooo super mean, remember?" Katie asked Gwen in worry. "Well, come on, she isn't that bad...now" Gwen chuckles as she trots over to Heather's table, "All right if I sit here?" Heather hesitated then groaned, "Fine, go ahead, sit." Gwen sat near Heather. "Listen, I'm starting to think you know my secret." "Both me and Leshawna...but relax, it's safe with us." Gwen said to Heather with a grin, much to the mare's surprise. "Seriously," Heather asked in surprise. Gwen and Leshawna know her embarrassing secret, but they're gonna keep it secret? "Yeah; Sure, you were a creep ever since we know you...but...underneath that tough girl skin is a heart of gold." Gwen remarks with a smile. "Besides, Sunset Shimmer was probably like you before Twilight reformed her." "Well...thanks, I guess." Heather said, touched. "Of course, that doesn't mean we're friends." "Who knows? So uh...who is this mysterious boyfriend you spoke of?" Gwen asks Heather anxiously. "Well, don't tell anyone else this but..." Heather said, whispering into Gwen's ear. The Goth girl's eyes widen in surprise. ------------- Gwen: (surprised) Okay, I'm really freaked out by that. (Pauses) But if Heather got a good reason for that secret keeping, I can respect that. ------------------ "You know. Gwen may be onto something, darlings." Rarity said with a smile as she, Twilight and Pinkie came over. Trent pauses then smiles, speaking, "I'm going to join them." "You sure that's wise?" Courtney asks Trent, arching an eyebrow. "She was the one who messed with your and Gwen's relationship back in Season 1." "I think time has changed her a bit." Trent assures Courtney. "Okay, fine." Courtney sighs as she and the others goes over to join Heather. Heather looks amazed. In the past, the others avoid her or want nothing more to do with her thanks to her bad ways. Has she changed for the better? ---------- "Looks like this season has indeed changed another player," Luna said pleased as she and the Hosts watches the monitor. "Eh, I like her better as a bad guy...even though I can't stand her either way." Chris remarks unemotionally while drinking a soda. "She was an anti-hero on the third season." Celestia said, bringing up a subject. She then thought up something. "I was wondering: who won that season? And is it true of the rumors that you fixed it to try to help Alejandro win?" "Errr, hey, let's check out the Alicorns, shall we?" Chris asks nervously as he quickly switches the monitor to see what the Alicorns are doing. The Royal Sisters glances to Chef Hatchet who nods as if saying 'yes' to the last question. "Very well, let's check one of the losing teams here." Celestia said. ------------------- On the other team, the members of it talk among each other, while Sierra was brushing Angel...a bit too hard. "Okay, I wonder who is going this time." Cody said in concern. "I hope it isn't me. I mean, yeah, I screwed up, but that phoenix bird is crazy." "So is Chris." DJ comment. He notes Sierra's progress. "Sierra, you're..." Sierra hisses at DJ, making him back off nervously, "Okay..." Cody took a glance at Sierra before he commented real quietly, "She's really starting to give me the creeps." "Tell me about it." Brady remarks with a shudder. -------------- Brady: If anything, I hate to see that girl blow up big time. ----------------- Sierra: Can't believe that fatso Sadie's team won. Oh, she's sooooo dead. --------------------- Josh: Hell is going down in this tribe, heck yeah! ---------------------- "I have a feeling that one of us may be going tonight." Dawn said seriously to her fellow ponies. "And it may be...unpredictable." "I just wish I could tell Sierra the truth of how I feel, but she freaks me out so much, I don't have the courage to." Cody said with a sigh. "Oh, mares are like volcanoes." Harold remarks as he watch Fluttershy using a Stare on an animal to make it behave. "Be careful or they will blow up." "Then... how do I do it without getting my flank hurt?" Cody asked in concern. "Wait until she's eliminated." Harold remarks to Cody thoughtfully. "Then tell her!" This put a smile on Cody's face as he said, "Yeah, yeah! Good thinking!" ------------------ Harold: You see? From what Heather mentioned before, she told Al off the night of his elimination. See? I can learn stuff. ------------------ Cody: Hopefully, the elimination is this time...because spending time with Sierra is just like spending time with Baloney the dinosaur. You go nuts after the first few weeks. I've seen it happen. ---------------------- It was yet another train ride to Canterlot for the Groundin' Earth Ponies and the Immortal Alicorns. Upon arriving in the city, they were soon escorted to the throne room. The hosts are there, waiting for them. Flash leaves the teams who are preparing for their fate for one in each team. "Alicorns, take a seat for your turn. As usual the last place team shall go first." Luna said to the Immortal Alicorns who sat down in the Senate seats. Chris held up the plate with the cupcakes, speaking, "Okay, as usual, the princesses has checked out the footage and made their decision. No one gets a cupcake tonight? His or her name is done, finish-o, and they don't come back...EVER." "Earth Ponies, when you hear your name, come up and get your cupcake." Celestia instructed as she looks at a list of names. She saw Scott exposing his statue that he found. "Scott." Scott smirks as he came over to get his own cupcake. Celestia now reads the next name, "Lindsay." "Well, I messed up but still here." Lindsay said happily as he trots over to get her own cupcake, "Yum!" "Lightning," Luna said as she reads off the next lit. Lightning smirks as he gallops over to get his own cupcake. "Eva." Eva nods as she got her own cupcake. Celestia checks out the next name on the list, "Justin." Justin smirks as he came over for his own cupcake, "Ezekiel." "All righty, made it again, Chris!" Ezekiel taunts as he came over to get his own cupcake, much to Chris's chagrin. "Brick," Luna said with a nod. Brick gallops over and got his own cupcake. 2 are left: Owen and Duncan. "Then there were two." Chris said as he nods to the final two Earth ponies team members. Only 1 of them gets the last cupcake for their team. "Owen, buddy. Mess up first on the dare." "Yeah, I know." Owen said, rubbing the back of his mane sheepishly. "And Duncan...wow. You really lost your edge. I mean, not breaking a Pinkie Promise, failing the challenge?" Chris remarked shaking his head in disbelief, "Not very villain-like, dude." "Just go ahead...eliminate me, I deserve it." Duncan said, shaking like mad. "I failed as a boyfriend, I failed as a player, I failed as a villain, I may as well just be eliminated now!" "But Duncan, you didn't fail...because this last cupcake is yours." Celestia said with a sudden smile. "What," Duncan ask Celestia in shock and alarm. "What," The other members of the team ask, surprised by the princess's choice to have the final cupcake. "You sure about that, babe," Chris ask Celestia skeptically, wondering if the Alicorn has indeed made a right choice. "It is. I saw the footage of him sparing Nyx, remember? There is indeed some good in him." Celestia said to a warm smile. "Anyone like that isn't a true villain like he wants others to believe him to be." "But..." Duncan begins to say as Celestia uses her magic to toss the cupcake to him. "Please: this is your second chance. Do not waste it." "Well, don't know what to say...but Owen, you're gone." Chris said to Owen as the Royal Sisters use their magic to get rid of him. "And now, it's time to say goodbye." Discord said as he appears behind Owen, snapping his fingers. The black hole appears and begins to suck Owen in as he yell, "Goodbye, players!" The fat boy is then send right towards the black hole...but he ends up entering halfway! His fat body causes him to get stuck in the hole. "Oh for the love of..." Discord growls angrily. He made a plunger appear and uses it in hopes to unclog the 'Owen', gagging as the fat boy farts on him. Discord finally got Owen unstuck as the eliminated contestant got send in fully. The co-host made the black hole disappears in annoyance, "So disgusting. I always have to do the dirty jobs." "Ground Ponies; you may wait outside until the Alicorns are done." Celestia instructed. The Ground Ponies nod as they leave, especially Duncan who is astounded at getting another chance. "Alicorns," Luna calls to the Alicorns who left the stands. Chris got out another plate of cupcakes for the Alicorns. He spoke up, "Same deal, same Chris channel. An Alicorn who doesn't get a cupcake, leaves the game. Don't pass go, don't get a cupcake, do not collect a billion dollars." "As usual, when you hear your name, get your cupcake." Celestia said as she looks at the list. B made sure to keep his statue revealed. "B." "Yes." B said with a smile as he trots over to get his own cupcake. "Dawn." Luna said, reading off the next name. Dawn smiles as she came over and got her next cupcake, "DJ." DJ smiles as he trots over to get his next cupcake. This stallion is safe for now. "Beth. You are safe." Celesta said. Beth nods as she came over to get her own cupcake. "Josh." "Sweet," Josh chuckles as he trots over to get his next cupcake. "Harold, you are safe." Luna announces, making Harold nod as he came over to get his own cupcake, "Sierra." "Oh great," Cody mumbles as Sierra smiles as she got her own cupcake. Looks like the colt will have to wait longer to tell her. Seeing Sierra safe made the players a bit suspicious...as if the hosts got something big in plan for her. "Brady, Cody. It comes down to you two." Chris said seriously to the last two members of the Immortal Alicorns. "Both of you blew your dares with hilarious results. The question remains: which one fails his dare first?" "The decision is final. The last cupcake of the night goes to..." Celesta pause a bit as everyone else watches waiting to hear her answer. There is a bit of a big pause. Finally, the Alicorn of the Sun reveals, "...Cody." Cody nods as he came over and got the last cupcake. He is safe...maybe there's still time... "Awww, Brady." Beth said in sadness, trotting over to Brady and nuzzles him. She is sad that her boyfriend is eliminated. "Hey, it's cool. At least I got a chance to play this and experience the game. At least it makes me smart enough not to come back again!" Brady assures Beth with a chuckle. He then got a worried look and turns to Chris, "Am I?" "Not with my new cast and these freaks, dude!" Chris remarks to Brady in amusement. "Whatever. Discord; Take me away!" Celestia and Luna use their magic to change Brady back. Discord snaps his fingers and causes the black hole to appear, sucking the boy right out of Equestra and out of the game. After it disappears, Discord himself comments, "Ah love" "Speaking of love, only 32 freaks left. Why was Sierra really saved? Could it involve something I got planned next? And will Duncan ever bounce back to his bad boy ways?" Chris ask the camera with a smirk. "Let's hope not. I like him as a good colt." Luna remarks to Chris, making him frown at that. She the realize something, "Wait Tia. Who won our bet?" "Oh yeah, I forgot all about that." Celestia said, remembering about the side bet that the Royal Sisters has made. "Let's call it a draw." "Agreed." "Whatever; More surprises will come so join us next time again..." As Chris say the final lines, the camera goes away from him before ending outside of Canterlot. "Total...Drama...Equestria!!!" --------- We see clips of the next episode... The usual announcer spoke, "Ah, love is in the air in Equestria especially for these players; But when you got Chris McClean and Discord pulling the strings, love is about to go to Tartarus in a hand basket!" We see Chris smirking devilishly to the camera as he sad, "Oh, time for us to bring on some tough love." "Will love be the same again? Find out next time on the next episode of Total Drama Equestria, coming soon! So don't miss it!"
