//------------------------------// // The Game Has Changed // Story: Equestria Girls: One More Time // by LittleBoyBlue //------------------------------// The Ball finished with the two men playing their signature song from when they first arrived here. The song ended, with the people cheering loudly for them. They chanted their name over and over, while they clapped. Thomas hugged Guy. "We're back baby!" he yelled. Guy hugged back, sharing his enthusiasm. The partygoers soon started to leave, as Thomas and Guy started closing up shop. Suddenly, the two Principals appeared in front of them. "Good show tonight boys." Celestia told them. "You really put on quite the performance." Celestia was wearing a strapless red dress, with crimson high heels. Luna was less showy, wearing a regular old blue dress. "Thank you madame Celestia." Thomas and Guy bowed. "Both me and Principal Celestia want to speak to you tomorrow during lunch." Luna said. "It is a private matter." "Alright." Thomas said. They exited out of the pyramid. "We shall see you then." Guy said. They both inexplicably grabbed their hands and kissed them. Luna and Celestia both blushed, as they looked at each other. They then took back their hands. "Yes, well umm, thank you...Mr. Bangalter. Mr...Christo..." Luna spoke. The two men bowed again, then left to rejoin the girls. "Well that was weird..." Luna finally said. "Yeah...a good kind of weird though..." Celestia said softly. "What?" Luna asked. "Huh? Oh, nothing." Celestia said. "Let's get out of here," Luna said. "This dress is killing me." "Right. Let's go." As the principals left the gym, the girls all talked excitedly, each one praising their music. "I really liked the first song!" Pinkie spoke excitedly. "I liked the slow dancing myself." Rarity added. "Eh. Not really one for slow dancing. I liked that One More Time song though." "We knew you would enjoy our music." Thomas said proudly. "We are musical geniuses after all." "Ooh I can certainly tell! I can't wait to hear more about you at dinner tonight." Rarity said excitedly. "Oui. Me ne-" Thomas paused. "Wait a minute, I don't remember anything about a dinner with you tonight." "Oh? Did you forget?" Rarity said innocently. "I asked you if you want to get something to eat later tonight and you said yes." Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Rarity. Are you kidding me?" "No! He said yes." Rarity pouted "He said that he was willing to go to dinner with me." "I don't remem-" "Well, I'll make sure to remind you at Donut Joe's! Come along darling!" Rarity grabbed Thomas by his arm and pulled him with her. The girls stared as Rarity forced Thomas to go out with her. On a date. Lucky Thomas. I wish a girl forced ME to go on a date with her. "Wait a minute! I never planned this! I need an adult!" Thomas yelled. The girls looked back to Guy, who just shrugged his shoulders. "Have a good time you two!" He yelled at them. The girls laughed, as Rarity dragged Thomas out of the gym. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The moon was already out, as Guy was sitting playing video games on Rainbow Dash's tv. He was mashing the buttons, executing combos on the fighting game he was playing. Even though the characters were ponies and looked like something from a little girls show, Guy was glad Rainbow had at least one fighting game. Most of her games were FPS and some unrealistic game called Mechafall. Seriously. The guns have no recoil. What's up with that? .... It's still a pretty awesome game though. He was reluctant, since the title clearly said "My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic." but what choice did he have? It was the only game where he could use his combo-hitting skillz. So far, Guy went very far into the game. He liked using Rainbow Dash. Not cause he had a feeling for her, but because the character was the fastest. Before his opponent could even attack, he already hit multiple combos that drained their life bar completely. Guy asked Rainbow about the game, curious as to why she and her friends look similiar to the ponies in the game. Rainbow told him that after the events with Twilight and Sunset Shimmer, a student made this game and it got popular quickly. It sold fairly well for Funstation and Y-Box, and Rainbow got a free one from the developer. She never really played it though, mostly cause she was too busy trying to reach prestige 10 in her Call to Arms games. Guy, however, reached a level that would forever frustrate him. He was to face off against Fluttershy. Guy looked at his opponent and scoffed. "Too easy." However, when the match began, Fluttershy stared at Rainbow. Guy couldn't move his character, as his health went almost instantly to nothing. Fluttershy defeated Rainbow without even lifting a hoof. Wow. Is it just me? Or is the Stare a tad bit...overpowered? I'm gonna get so much hate from this story. "What the-?" Guy said, while the screen flashed "You Lose". "What was that?!" Guy yelled. "Oh, you've reached the Fluttershy level." Rainbow spoke. "Don't even bother trying to beat her. She'll just keep using that stare and beat you every time. You can't even block it. Why they even put her in this game is beyond me, if all she's gonna do is that." "Wow. That is stupide." Guy replied. "I'm going to beat her. I don't care how long it takes." Guy restarted the match, and tried blocking this time. However, the same thing happened, and Guy died once again. "Damn it!" Guy cursed. "Say, it's getting late." Rainboe told him. "Shouldn't Thomas be here by now?" "Oh don't worry about him. He'll be fine. AW COME ON!" Guy put down the controller and put his hands on his head. Rainbow chuckles, as she leaned on the couch. "I can just imagine him right now, getting his ears talked off...well, if he had ears." Guy laughs softly. "If anything, I think mademoisell Rarity would be annoyed by him." "That reminds me," Rainbow said, sitting next to Guy. "How DID you two meet?" "We met in college." Guy said. "College?" Rainbow said, confused. "How did you two meet in college if we're still in high school. Guy just shrugged. "We're different back on Earth. By the way, how old are you?" "I'm 19." Rainbow replied. "Oh good. It's not illegal." Guy said, relieved. "Weird, but perfectly legal." "What's perfectly legal?" Rainbow asked. "Nothing." Guy replied. Rainbow eyed him suspiciously. "Okay. It's getting kinda late. I'm gonna go hit the hay." She stood up and started to walk to her room, when suddenly, the door slammed open. Rainbow turned to see Thomas, sputtering out random sayings in french. "Thomas, what happened?" Guy asked. Thomas shakily closed the door. "Comment allez-vous mademoiselle? Je vous bien. Et toi? Très bon!" Thomas then collapsed on the couch, with has visor saying "2MuchFancy4Me". Rainbow snickered at the sight. "Well, it seems that Rariry really did a number on Thomas here." Rainbow remarked. "Yeah." Guy agreed. "Good night Guy." Rainbow said, as she went to bed. "Good night Rainbow." And so Guy sat there, looking at Thomas who was passed out on the couch. He shrugged, and grabbed the controller, as he continued playing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The morning started, as Daft Punk left with Rainbow to school. This time, Thomas was with them. Their day went on as scheduled. They took their courses, wrote some notes, did some work. Then came lunchtime. Daft Punk remembered that the two principals wanted to see them during lunch. So they left immediatley for the office. They entered the door, as Luna and Celestia were talking to each other. "Ah good." Celestia turned to them. "You two have arrived." "You wanted to see us today?" Thomas asked. "Yes, indeed." Luna spoke. "Me and Principal Celestia have been talking about you two. You're not in trouble, so don't worry." The two men sat down at the chairs. "Now, as you both are aware, our school DJ's are both serving extra time in detention. Unfortunately, this means that they will not be able to attend the festival." "So, we are here to tell you that you two have a chance at representing Canterlot High at the festival" "Really? They are out of the festival?" Thomas asked. Celestia nodded. "Alright!" Thomas high-fived. "Now, you two have been unanimously chosen by the team of musicians to represent the school, so we both wish you two good luck." Luna told them. "Thank you madames." Thomas said. "Your welcome. Now, you're excused." Celestia told them. They both got up and left the office, eager to tell their friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Congratulations you two!" Rarity squealed. "You've got a chance to play at the biggest event ever!" "Wow you guys. You two are incredibly lucky." Sunset Shimmer spoke in amazement. "Oui. We are." Thomas agreed. "So, whatcha guys gonna play at the representation contest?" Pinkie asked. "Well, let's see..." Thomas thought. "We're gonna need songs that would get everyone's attention. Maybe Da Funk, Aerodynamic, and also Robot Rock...we'll have to make a playlist." "Are yoy two boys actually gonna be ready fer this?" Applejack asked. "Don't worry. We've got plenty of time to practice." Thomas said. "Actually, the festival is tomorrow." Applejack told him. "Oh...." Thomas said. Guy patted Thomas on the back. "Hey man, don't worry. we have years of experience. I'm sure we got this in the bag, even without practice." Thomas cheered up a little. "You're right." He replied. "We've got everything we need right here." He pointed to his head. "Alright, here's what we're gonna do..." Guy said, whispering into Thomas's ear...er, at least where his ear was. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sun was starting to set, as Daft Punk returned to Rainbow's house. "Oh boy! Tomorrow is gonna be so AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed. "I can't wait to hear more of your songs!" Thomas looked at Guy, then nodded. "Why wait? Let's practice right now." Rainbow turned to them. "Really?" "Yeah." "AWESOME!" "Lemme just..." Thomas reached inside his suit and brought out a white laptop. "Ah! I had this the whole time." He started up the laptop, and began to play some party songs. "Sweet! Let's par-tay!" Rainbow said, moving with the groove. And so party they did. While there was a party at Rainbow's house, a different party was happening somewhere else. That party was in Sunset Shimmer's stomach. She felt very nervous, standing outside the door. It's been a while since she visited this place, and it brought back happy memories. Timidly, she brought her finger to the doorbell, and pressed it. A few seconds later, the door opened. It was Flash. "Sunset," Flash smiled. "It's good to see you? How's it going?" Sunset Shimmer coughed nervously. "Oh, I'm fine. I just came to...umm, ask you something." "What is it?" he asked. The sun was halfway on the horizon. Whatever she came to do, Sunset knew she had to do it now. "I was just wondering if..." "Uh-huh?" She bit her lip, before finally asking what she came here to ask. "I was wondering if you were...doing anything tonight?"
