//------------------------------// // Episode 8: Giving Hope To The Hopeless // Story: The Life of a Wanted Changeling Season 2: Debt to a Doctor (Comment Driven Story) // by Down with Chrysalis //------------------------------// "Twilight! Oh sweet Celestia, NNOOOO! I was to late to save- What are you doing?" you interrupt your own dramatic anguish to stare at the unicorn as she packs a suitcase. "I'm leaving." She tells you "Discord can do whatever he wants; I won't stop him." This boggles your mind. If there's anything Twilight is known for... it's liking books a whole, whole lot. But if there's another thing she's known for, its stopping the bad guys, painfully. "Twilight that's not you talking, it's Discord's mind games! Snap out of it!" you slap her. Normally a suicidally bad idea, but this time she just slowly turns her head back to you, her expression, completely defeated. "It doesn't matter," She says with tears welling up "there's nothing left that's worth saving. My friends are gone and even if they weren't... they're not the ponies I became friends with anymore. Why would I keep trying when that's been lost? Why keep going when our friendship is over?" "Because if you don't, that means Discord just gets away with all of this! You went out of you way to stop me from doing whatever, so why does he get a free pass?! Huh?" Bugze, you've got to snap her out of it, tell her to remember all the good times she had with her friends... just don't mention the times they tried to kill you... All you can do is stare in shock at the grayed form of Twilight Sparkle. The look of pure defeat and hopelessness on her face saddens you to no end. You can't help but think, Luna no... this can't be happening! She looked so determined when we were trapped in that maze. To see her like this... I can't even- You end your thoughts as you decide to voice your sadness and say, "No, no, no, no, Twilight! This couldn't have happened, it just, it jus... oh sweet Luna NOOOOOOOO! I was too late, too bucking late to save yo-What are you doing?" You interrupt your melodramatic despair (including cliche hoof-pounding the ground in anger) as you stare at unicorn as she starts to... pack her bags? Twilight just sighs in defeat as she says with a hopeless tone, "Isn't it obvious, I'm leaving. Discord can do whatever he wants, I won't stop him. I'm done saving Equestria, I'm done with friendship. I just don't care anymore." As she says this, she throws a crown into a nearby trashcan. For some reason, you can't help but feel that the crown is not only very important, but also very dangerous. You stop looking at the crown as you see Twilight pick up the suitcase with her magic and start to walk downstairs. You stare at her retreating form in complete shock and think, This... This isn't her! If there's one thing I know about Twilight... it's that she likes to zap me with magic... a lot. But, if there's another thing I know about her, it's that she'll never give up trying to stop the bad guy (usually me... painfully...). You finally snap out of your mental rambling when you hear a door open and close. You shout out, "Woah, wait!" as you run down the stairs and out the front door. You run in front of Twilight, blocking her path. Twilight just gives you a sad look as she says, "What are you doing? Can't you see that I don't want to be here anymore?" Deciding that you can't stand to see her like this anymore, you give her a cold glare as you say in a determined tone, "Twilight that's not you talking, it's Discord's mind games! From what I've seen, you love your friends... for some strange reason. Remember all the times you've had with them! Remember all the memories you've made with them! Remember all the times you all beat the stuffing out of me- Wait..." Twilight just continues to stare at you with a empty look.You growl in anger as you yell, "Snap out of it!" You reel your hoof back and... *SMACK* You slap her with enough force to snap her head to the left. Normally it would be outright suicide to slap a mare, but considering that it's one of those "Get a hold of yourself, mare!" slaps, you hope she'll understand. Twilight just slowly looks back at you with tears going down her face as she says in a defeated tone, "It doesn't matter, there's nothing left that's worth saving. My friends are gone and even if they weren't... they're not the ponies I became friends with anymore. Why would I keep trying when that's been lost? Why keep going when our friendship is over?" By the time she's finished, there are streams of tears falling off her face. You look at her in pity, but that pity soon turns into anger as you shout, "Because if you don't, that means Discord just gets away with all of this! You went out of you way to stop me from doing whatever, so why does he get a free pass?! Huh? You're the most determined pony I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. You didn't give up on taking me down, why give up on taking Discord down!?" Twilight stops crying as she shakes her head in sadness as she whispers, "You wouldn't understand." And with that she... Grey Twilight just looks at you for a couple seconds, then turns and walks away, back into her house. All hope is truly lost. "Woah, Twilight!" you call after her, following her in. "What are you doing? Not going to stop Discord, not going to save the day? You're not even going to try to slaughter me where I stand?" "Go away," she replies sadly as she starts looking for Spike. "I don't have time to deal with you now." "You're just letting Discord win?" you scream in surprise. "You're just gonna give up and let your enemies walk all over you? That's not like you! Twilight, what happened to you?" She doesn't answer you; instead she looks around for Spike. "Spike? Where are you?" You find Spike curled up on the floor, a large pile of letters heaped up next to him. "Spike, what is all this?" Twilight asks. "The princess has been sending these since we got back," Spike moans as Twilight picks one upand begins to read, amazed. "These are all the letters i sent to the princess," she gaps as she reads on. You swear you see a time of purple climbing up her coat. "A true friend will always be there for another. Friends can be a great source of strength and courage. A true true friend helps a friend in need." The purple is definitely there, and climbing. And then it stops. And fades. "But..." Twilight whispers to herself. "My friends have been awful to me. They've been greedy, dishonest, and mean. Are... are they really friends?" You remember Octavia' s soapbox speech from before. You remember the feeling of your first friend, and then your second, and then your third. Ask of them. And then you turn to Twilight. "Listen to me Twilight!" you scream. She stares at you in shock, clearly taken aback. "You have spent the last year hurting me, insulting me, distrusting me, and basically being a species-est jerk! And you know what?" She stares at you, eyes wide with fear. "I forgive you, Twilight... my friend." The hearts in her head start spinning. "Forgive...friend...Forgive my friend... *ding!*" In a flash of light Twilight is purple once more. "Forgive my friends! I know what to do!" "Great," you say. "So, I'll just be on my way-" "Oh no, you don't!" Twilight screams. "You beat us up the last time you saw us- you owe us! Look, I need time to get my friends back in order; you distract Discord, make sure he doesn't notice I'm up to something. Now!" She finishes. There's the Twilight you know. Twilight reveals that she's always suspected you were a good bug, but because Rainbow Dash and Applejack hate you so much she also takes up the anti-Bugze banner because she didn't want to risk losing their friendship over disagreeing on that subject. Turns and walks away. Remembering that you have to snap her out of it, you quickly follow after her and shout, "Woah, Twilight! What are you doing? Aren't you going to try and kill me for hitting you? Don't tell me you don't even what to try to slaughter me where I stand?" Twilight doesn't even bother to look at you as she starts to look for something while saying, "Go away, I don't have time to deal with you now. I have to find Spike and leave." Twilight then gives a hollow laugh as she says, "You know, I always suspected you were a good guy. Ever since you saved us from that dragon. But I never said anything because I was afraid of losing Applejack and Rainbow's friendship to the point where I even rationalized you had some sort of 'mind control' spell." She gives another hollow laugh before saying, "I guess it was gonna happen no matter what, huh." You stare at her in shock at what she said, but you shake your head and think Worry about that later, fix this mess now.Your eye twitches in annoyance as you yell, "You're just letting Discord win then? You're just gonna give up and let your enemies walk all over you? That's not like you! Twilight, what happened to you? What happened to the determined mare who would stop at nothing to stop me... Even though I'm not a bad bug anyway!" She doesn't answer you at all, instead she looks around some more as she shouts out, "Spike? Where are you?" You suddenly hear a moan of pain coming from the next room. Worried that something might have happened to Spike (you guess it was him at least), you charge though the door and see... Spike curled up on the floor, a large pile of letters heaped up next to him. "Spike, what is all this?" Twilight asks with a slight hint of worry. "The princess *burp* has been *burp* sending these *burp* since we got *burp* *hack* *burp* back," Spike moans as Twilight picks one up and begins to read the letter out loud with a look of amazement in her face. You look at the piles of letters in confusion as you think, What the heck? Why is Spike burping up letters? What are these letters anywa- "These are all the letters I sent to the princess," Well that answers that question... You think to yourself in a deadpanned tone. You look over to Twilight as she continues to read her 'friendship report' (Must have been a slow day in Canterlot when Celestia made this a thing) and you swear you see a time of purple climbing up her coat. What the hay? You rub your eyes to see if you're just seeing things. Nope, still there. The purple is slowly climbing up her back hoof... I've finally gone insane haven't I? As you start to second guess your sanity, Twilight starts to use her magic to float multiple scrolls in front of her as she reads out from each one, "A true friend will always be there for another. Friends can be a great source of strength and courage. The Hooded Offender is being obnoxious again-" "Hey, I take offense to that! I'm not obnoxious, if anything I"m moderately annoying at most!" You yell out in annoyance. Twilight ignores your out burst as she continues, "A true true friend helps a friend in need." The purple is definitely there, and it's climbing! Maybe it's a sign that she's turning back to normal. Yeah, everything's gonna be fi- It suddenly stops and it begins to fade away. You can only stare at it's fading form in shock, you then proceeded to face hoof as you think, Me and my dumb jinxing thoughts... CURSE YOU LADY LUCK! "But..." You hear Twilight whisper to herself, "My friends have been awful to me. They've been greedy, dishonest, and mean. Are... are they really friends?" You suddenly get flashbacks to Octavia' s soapbox speech from before and then remember how you felt when you got your first friend, and then your second, and then your third... You remember Braeburn, the Horde (the club ones at least), and Nightshade. With a determined look in your eyes you turn towards Twilight and grab her to make her face you and scream, "Listen to me Twilight!" She stares at you in shock, clearly taken aback. "You have spent the last year distrusting me, insulting me, hurting me, and basically being a species-est jerk! And you know what?" She stares at you, eyes wide with fear. She then closes her eyes and waits for the oncoming pain. But you just smile sadly as you... Hug and cry for her! Yeah! Tear and love can always save everypony from falling to the darkside!!! Say to grey Twilight, "Don't give in to chaos, Use the friendship Luke! I mean Twilight. Hug her. She gasps in surprise as some tears escape her eyes. You then whisper to her in what you hope is a comforting tone, "I forgive you, Twilight... I forgive you, my 'friend'. And Twilight..." You end the hug and push her in front you, hooves still on her shoulders and her head still facing you, and with a look of shame in your eyes you say in sadness, "Use the friendship Luk- I mean Twilight. Don't ever give in to the darkness Twilight. I gave in and... I almost didn't come back." Memories of the Gala come back and haunt you as you say this. Twilight looks at you in awe as she starts to say, "Forgive... friend... Forgive my friend... *ding!*" In a flash of light Twilight is purple once more. "Forgive my friends! I know what to do!" Woah! Talk about a personality change! You think in shock as you let go of Twilight. You smile as you say, "Also, I'm sorry about what happened with the others (even though they started it), I hope you can forgive me." Twilight gives you a small smile as she nods yes. You smile in happiness as you say, "Great, so I'll just be on my way-" "Oh no, you don't!" Twilight shouts. "You beat us up the last time you saw us- you owe us!" There's the Twilight I know... You smile slightly before it dissappears as you say... You respond, "You're one to talk. You guys have been chasing and pounding me since day 1 so between the thrashings I gave you at the forest, Ponyville, and the Gala I'd say we're more than even!" "You're one to talk bookworm! You guys have been chasing and pounding me since day 1 so between the thrashings I gave you at the forest, Ponyville, and the Gala I'd say we're more than even!" "More than even is still uneven, ergo you still owe us." "Yeah, well... uh... er... fine." You say in a defeated tone as Twilight victoriously smiles before declaring, "Now let's go get my friends back!" Twilight runs out of the house and you're about to follow her when you see Spike still lying down in pain. You give a soft sigh as you walk over to him. He looks at you in awe as he says... Also, you have a conversation with him to soothe him to sleep since he is a big fan of yours. Spike: I can't believe it, the Hooded Offender, Saving Me From Death Itself! You: You just got a stomachache kid Spike: It still counts! You: OK Then...anyway, thanks for thinking that I'm a hero and all Spike: No problem, I'm part of the Horde here in Ponyville, I'm Co-Vice President with Octavia! You: (Smile) well thanks kid, get some rest, right now I have to do something incredibly stupid. Spike: What? You: Challenging a God of Chaos to a fight...Ya I might be screwed. "I can't believe it, the Hooded Offender, Saving Me From Death Itself!" You chuckle at his statement as you help him up while saying, "Hehehe you just got a stomachache kid, just drink a ginger ale and you'll be fine in a hour or two." Spike gives a pout as he says, "It still counts!" You chuckle as you hold hold your hooves up defensibly and say, "Okay, okay you win kid. Anyway, thanks for thinking that I'm a hero and all" Spike gives a tired yaw as he says sleepily (Probably tried out form all the letter puking), "No problem, I'm part of the Horde here in Ponyville, I'm Co-Vice President with Octavia! But don't tell the girls, they;ll have my head if they find out (plus Rarity will NEVER go out with me if she knew...)." You smile at the kid and say, "Well thanks kid, get some rest, right now I have to do something incredibly stupid." Spike looks at you in confusion and asks, "What?" You sigh as you say, "I'm gonna go out and catch five insane mares to turn them back to just crazy, then I'm gonna go take on a god of chaos... In other words, a typical Monday." Spike nods his head in agreement. You're about to say something, when you hear Twilight yell, "HURRY UP OFFENDER! I ALMOST GOT APPLEJACK!" You then hear Applejack scream, "NO SHE DOESN'T, SHE'S NOWHERE CLOSE TO ME! AND YOUR STILL MY MOST FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD!" You sigh in defeat as you say goodbye to Spike as you walk out the door to see Twilight right on Applejack's heels. You smirk slightly as you think about the item you want and you pull out... You leered at the running form of LiarJack. "Applejack had her lasso rope. I have my duct tape." Your duct tape from The Inventory. You look over to where Applejack is running and say, "Applejack may have her lasso, but I have my duct tape." With that you start to swing your duct tape around like a sling before you throw it at Applejack... 48 MINUTES LATER That had to be the strangest forty-eight minutes of your life... and that's saying something. After you captured Applejack in duct tape, Twilight used some sort of spell on her. Suddenly, Applejack's eyes turn into a picture show as they play (what you think is) a bunch of her memories (including ones involving you). After that she turned orange again. After explaining why she was stuck in duck tape, and getting punched in the face by her, then having Twilight step between you and the hick before things could escalate, the three of you set out to get the others. First was Rarity... Sweetie Belle (secretly a Horde member out of rebellion at her sister) helps you get into The Carousel Boutique (which has been barricaded by Rarity so she can horde "Tom" all to herself) One of the Crusaders, Sweetie Belle (who just so happens to be a fan of yours... and Rarity's sister (that must lead to some awkward dinner conversations...)) helped sneak the three of you into Rarity's home (called The Carousel Boutique) which was boarded up so that noling could steal 'Tom' (why Tom of all names for a rock, if anything you would have called it "Rick" or "Rocky"). After multiple needle wounds, crying, and very... very scary threats (along the lines of 'I'll make a suit out of your skin'), you finally managed to hold her down long enough for Twilight to do the spell (Applejack suspiciously didn't try to help you deal with Rarity...). After getting slapped by Rarity for holding her down like a ruffian (and yet she liked it when she was your meat shield... mares, you''ll never understand them), the four of you split up to tackle Pinkie and Fluttershy. You and Twilight went after Fluttershy while Rarity and Applejack went looking for Pinkie. The Horde helps you catch and restrain their Discorded president, Fluttershy (cue Fluttershy and you apologizing to each other for the beat-down and keep-away with your daughter... And cue surprise from The Horde when they overhear you're a daddy) You and Twilight ran into Octavia and Vinyl on the way to Fluttershy's. Deciding that you and Twilight could use the extra hoof, you asked them if they wanted to help. They accepted as soon as the words 'help me' left your mouth (Octavia was blushing like a mad mare the whole time for some odd reason). Twilight asks, "Why are they so willing to help you?" You replied... "Because... Hey, is that her hut?" You and the group of four made it to Fluttershy's shed and found her making fun of some bears. When she saw you... well let's just say words were said, ponies were thrown, alot of trees need replanting, and some intervention was needed before you hurt anypony. Finally you, Octavia, and Vinyl managed to hold her down (you find out that Octavia took Karate classes with Rarity and even fought off a few changelings during the invasion alongside Vinyl. When you asked Octavia why she didn't just use her Karate on that Diamond Dog at the gala, she got all flustered and just told you to focus on the job at hoof) so Twilight could do the spell. After Fluttershy was returned to normal, she hugged you as soon as she saw you and cried, "Oh Hoody, I"m so, so, so, so, so, so sorry about all those mean things I said to you and for what I did to your daughter which was just unacceptable. I will completely understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore..." You give a small smile as you pull Fluttershy into the hug as you say, "It's okay Fluttershy, you're forgiven. You'll always be my friend. I mean if you could forgive me for slamming you into a shelf and almost strangling you... twice..." Before Fluttershy could respond, Vinyl and especially Octavia scream, "WHAT?!!!" Then two things happened, 1. They demanded to know who the mother was (Octavia the most, who kept on asking where 'the mother' is so that she could 'polity' ask her to leave you alone... for some odd reason). 2. They fainted as soon as you told them the truth. Twilight decides you don't have time to wake them up so you all put the unconscious mares in Fluttershy's hut with a note that read, Off to take on a god of chaos. See ya soon. -The Hooded Offender P.S. Fluttershy asks if you can feed her animals while she's gone. P.P.S. HOODED OFFENDER, AW(*scribbles as Twilight yanked you away before you could finish*) You all went back to Ponyville to see a hog-tied grey Pinkie sitting next to Applejack and Rarity. One magic spell later and shes back to her pink bubbly self... joy... Finally this lead up to where you are now... trying to figure out how to catch Rainbow Dash... After helping Twilight restore Fluttershy and three more of the Deadly Five, there's only one pony left: Rainbow Dash. And you have a genius plan to catch her. "Let's have Fluttershy sneak up on her while she's napping and hold her down. Then the rest of you can pull her to the ground and Twilight can use her magic spell thingy." Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Fluttershy. Pin down Rainbow Dash. How?" "Good point. Alright, all of you get in a hot air balloon and--" "Let me stop you there, varmint. What would keep her from flyin' off full speed when she sees us? She carried four unconscious ponies on her back up in Cloudsdale. She can outfly a balloon." Twilight taps her hoof for attention. "We need somepony to lure her in close. And we have the perfect volunteer." You can't help but notice the twinkle in her eye when she looks at you. "You're... talking about me, aren't you?" "You know her trigger word." --- "FILLY-FOOOOOLEEEEEEER!" Your scream echoes from the hill you're standing on. The sound is soon replaced by a high pitched whistling. You shake in your cloak and turn around, searching the sky for what you know is coming. Rainbow Dash slams into you from behind. Her tackle sends you both rolling on the ground, and she ends up on top of you. She sneers and raises her hoof to punch you where your face would be. "WHAT-DID-YOU-CALL-ME?!" You cover up as best you can, but the rain of blows won't stop. "Twilight! Now!" "I'LL-TEACH-YOU!" "Twilight! Please! I don't want to die here!" "BREAK-YOUR-JAW-YOU-WON'T-SAY-WHOA!" A rope finally yanks her off of you. You glare at Applejack as she hogties Rainbow Dash. "You were enjoying that, weren't you?" She snickers. And you have a genius plan to catch her, "Let's have Fluttershy sneak up on her while she's napping and hold her down. Then the rest of you can pull her to the ground and Twilight can use her magic spell thingy." Applejack raises an eyebrow, "Fluttershy. Pin down Rainbow Dash. How?" You blush in embarrassment as you say, "Good point. No offense Fluttershy." "None taken Hoody." "Alright, all of you get in a hot air balloon and--" Twilight interrupts you as she says, "What would keep her from flyin' off full speed when she sees us? She carried four unconscious ponies on her back up in Cloudsdale. She can easily outfly a balloon." Rarity taps her hoof for attention, "We need somepony to lure her in close." Applejack nods her head as she says, "Somepony who can make her mad easily..." Pinkie nods her head super fast as she says, "And it has to be somepony who's really, really, really, really good at drawing attention." Twilight smiles as she says, "And we have the perfect volunteer." Suddenly everypony is looking at you with a dark smile (besides Fluttershy). You gulp in as you say, "You're... talking about me, aren't you?" Twilight nods her head and says, "You know her trigger word." You sigh in defeat and mutter, "Why is it always me..." THREE MINUTES LATER You look around the field you're in in fear as you charge up your RCV and yell, "RAINBOW DASH IS A FILLY-FOOOOOLEEEEEEE-" *WHAM* When Rainbow Dash slams into you from behind. Her tackle sends you both rolling on the ground and she ends up on top of you. She snarls and raises her hoof to punch you where your face would be as she yells in pure rage, "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" You cover up as best you can, but the rain of blows won't stop, "Twilight! Now!" "I'LL-TEACH-YOU!" "Mares! Please! I don't want to die here!" "BREAK-YOUR-JAW-YOU-WON'T-SAY-WHOA!" A rope finally yanks her off of you. You glare at Applejack as she hogties Rainbow Dash. "You were enjoying that, weren't you?" She just snickers in response. You give her a deadpanned glare as Twilight does the spell on Rainbow behind you, and you say... You reply to the mare's taunting, "Go ahead, laugh. A few more seconds and I was gonna Falcon Punch that fillyfooler in the liver!" "Go ahead, laugh. A few more seconds and I was gonna Falcon Punch that fillyfooler in the live-! *Punch*" Que you getting punched in the liver by said fillyfooler (while Fluttershy gasps "Hoody!" in horror) who chuckles, "Thanks for the idea." You just grunt and gasp in pain as you choke out, "I... Hate... You..." Rainbow snickers and says, "Aww, I love you too Offender." You finish gasping in pain as you glare at Rainbow and snap, "Why don't ya take your hick marefriend and go find a cave so you two can have some 'alone time' you fillyfooler! Before things could escalate, Twilight says, "Ahem! You two can fight later, right now we need to stop Discord, with The Elements of Harmony!" She then levitates five necklaces towards the mares and the crown from before towards her head. The same feeling of dread from before appears as you look at the strange items. Before anything else could happen... -After un-Discording all the mares, you all notice that Discord is creating more dangerously unstable chaos which ends up accidentally scattering the elements around town (something like he unwittingly throws away glass-shaped chocolate milk which lands between you all and explodes) so you volunteer to go confront/delay him while everypony else will try to retrieve the elements You hear Discord's voice shout "FORE!!!" You turn around just in time to see a bunch of milk-filled balloons heading straight towards you and the mares. Before you can do anything to stop them from hitting- *splash*. The milk bombs send milk forcefully splashing all over the place, which knocks all of you down and scatters the elements all over the town. As the mares look at where the elements used to be in shock, you see Discord causing more dangerously unstable forms of chaos (for example, he's now rolling giant balloons into a bunch of bowler ponies). You think, At the rate he's going, that lunatic's gonna destroy the whole town! But those element thingys are scattered. What do I... *ding* Getting an idea, you bark at the mares, "Alright listen up!" The mares look at you in shock at your outburst. Getting their attention, you continue, "I"m gonna go and distract Discord, while you mares go and find those element thingys... got that!" The mares all nod their heads, while Fluttershy looks at you in worry, but you give her a reassuring nod before you start to head off, but you suddenly turn and say, "And don't be late this time! Now go!" The mares nod and start to gallop away in search of the elements while you walk with a determined stride towards where Discord voice came from (you rationalize to yourself that if you're gonna face down a god of chaos, might as well start with a cool action-hero stride)... A FEW MINUTES LATER It's time to do what you haven't done in a long time: "I'M THE DISTRACTION!" you yelled at the Discord. You find Discord sitting on a throne of some sort playing around with some bunnies (as in he's lifting them up in the air, spinning them around, turning them into birds, or turning them back into birds... you can't tell), but now it's time to do something you haven't done in a long time. You get his attention by shouting with the RCV... "I'M A DISTRACTION!!!" Discord snaps away the birds and/or bunnies as he chuckles at you display. After he's done laughing he says, "So, you've decided to join my side player two?" and poofs a pair of controllers into his claws to emphasize his point as he offers one to you. You laugh and say in a heroic tone, "Nope! I"m player one, and you're the final boss that's gonna get his butt whooped by me!" Discord chuckles and throws the controllers behind him (causing a "honk" and a "boink" for some reason...) before he says, "Bring it on... friend" Sweat goes down your forehead as you and Discord stand off in preparation to fight the most epic fight of all epicness that will end the debate of which is epic and which is epi- "Daddy, what is that thing?" ... "Huh?" You look at The Inventory to see... Nightshade pointing adorably at Discord. Discord just looks at her in confusion, but then he starts to smile as he says, "Ohhhh, a new player has entered the game!" It's times like these that there are four simple words that you love to use, over and over again. And those words of wisdom are... Buck you lady luck... What do you do?
