//------------------------------// // Episode 3: Gaming is the league // Story: Gaming is the league // by Cyberponychronics //------------------------------// As Equestria prepares for Autumn, which is right around the corner, Jay stares out of his window. Still shocked by Shining Armors death, he rises and walks to the cupboard. Jay opens it and gets jumped by muffins that fall on him. Jay starts gigling as he places the muffins on the kitchen countertop. It's three month since Jay came to Equetria, and he made great friends. Jay stares at photograpes on top of the fire place. They feature humans in Jay's hometown. Their names written on the bottom of the pictures. ''I miss my friends and family. It's been too long now. They'd probably have moved on. But most of my friends are gamers. And they didn't share my Brony fandom.'' Jay then jumps up. ''Why not make my own gamers group here in Equestria! The PGL: The Pony Gamer League.'' And Jay leaves his house. Two weeks later Jay stands outside a little house created by himself. The small house is painted in lime green and black, and has Jay's Cutie mark at the top of the doorway. Jay looks at the house. He's covered in paint, but he's pleased by the end results. ''Done and done. Now let's see if someone wants to join Equestria's only gaming community.'' Jay grabs a hoofful of little papers with Jay's mark on it and heads towards Townsquare. It's already dark when Jay, who is dissappointed that nopony took his invitation, enters his home. He smells that something is burning. Jay rushes towards the kitchen to see Derpy trying to cook something. Jay places his hoof on his forehead. ''Derp, Derp, don't cook.'' Jay says. Derpy looks down sad. Jay smiles and says: ''It's okay. I can cook for you. What do you want to eat?'' Derpy looks up and smiles: ''Muffins!'' ''Always the same, eh?'' Jay says and smiles. Derpy sits on a low chair made by Jay as Jay serves her twelve muffins. ''There you go, honey.'' Derpy's cheeks are turning red and she smiles. Jay says: ''I got a delicious bacon-pepperoni pizza.'' ''What is bacon and pepperoni?'' Derpy asks. Jay reacts with a serious look on his face: ''You don't wanna know. It wasn't cheap and surely hard to find here in Equestria.'' Jay takes a bites, and spits it out. Grossed out by the taste, Jay says: ''This is neither bacon nor pepperoni. This tastes like puke.'' Jay lifts his pizza with his magic, which is green, and throws it into the garbage bin. ''Gross!'' It's 1 AM on Jay's Alarm clock, when loud noises occur. Jay immediately jumps out of bed and races towards the window. He sees light above the same lake as he was laying next to when he first entered Equestria. Derpy yawns and says: ''What is it, Jay?'' ''I dunno. I'm gonna check it out.'' Jay reacts. Jay walks towards the lake to see a few ponies laying around at the edge of the lake. One of the ponies, who is a dark red color, dark brown mane and tail and a cutie mark of a pixelated face, stand up and says: ''Where on Azeroth am I?'' ''You're in Equestria, Keyadron.'' says Jay. Keyadron shouts in response: ''NO! WHO MADE ME GO HERE? I DIDN'T ASKED FOR THAT.'' Jay simply responses: ''Faith. It brought me here too. Same goes for you Macoud12, MrBysco, Uberhaxornova and ImmortalHD.'' The other four ponies stand up and stare at Jay. Macoud starts yelling: ''HAAAAAAX!'' Jay denies this and says: ''It ain't hax, Macoud. It's Dimensional Fysics. It's somethin' totally different.'' ''What are we suposed to do in this world?'' MrBysco asks. Jay smiles. It's been two weeks since Derpy has seen Jay. In anxiety, Derpy says to herself: ''Twilight must've seen Jay somewhere. Maybe she or Applejack know.'' Derpy leaves her house and suddenly sees a little cottage outside her house. Black curtains cover the small windows and there are several soda cans scattered around the house. Derpy slowly enters the cottage as she sees Jay with five other ponies playing something violent. Jay notices her. ''Hey Derp Derp, hope you don't mind playing Call of Duty with my friends. Energy drink is in the small fridge.'' He says. Derpy is shocked: ''What is this all? And what's Call of Duty?'' ''You don't wanna know. Pass me an Energy will ya?'' says Jay. Derpy throws a can towards Jay, which he catches with his magic. ''Thanks girl.'' As Derpy searches Twilight, she finds Doctor Hooves trapped in a bucket. Derpy flies by so fast that the bucket goes with and the Doc is freed from his bucket trap. Finally she finds Twilight together with Rainbow Dash. ''Jay has lost it.'' ''What is he doing?'' Twilight asks while preparing for action. Derpy says while crying: ''He's playing Call of Duty, or something like that.'' ''What's Call of Duty?'' Rainbow Dash asks ''It's some sort of violent shooting game.'' Rainbow rises and says: ''Awesome! I always wanted to play violent games.'' Twilight, Derpy and Rainbow enter Jay's Cottage and they see that the six ponies are asleep. ''They're probably knocked out by the sleepless nights.'' Twilight whispers. Then Jay wakes up, looks around and says: ''Tryin' to sneak on us eh? Doesn't work on me. Cyberpony Advantages remember?'' ''Jay you shouldn't be playing on those Consoles much. Get out and do something.'' Twilight says. ''Maybe you're right. I should go outside more often.'' Jay says. ''Hey Derpy, wanna go out again?'' Derpy smiles and nods. They both leave after Jay woke up the others. ''And where are we supposed to live?'' Macoud asks. Jay simply smiles and says: ''In here of course.'' MrBysco asks in reaction: ''Is that necessary? You know that ImmortalHD and Nova will fight each other and I'm a Troll from time to time.'' Jay says: ''And you have one thing in common. You are gamers of the Pony Gamer League. The Equestrian version of the MLG.'' The six ponies raises their hooves, places them together and shout: ''PGL FOR THE WIN'' NEXT CHAPTER: Rise of the Red
