After that depressing week everyone had on set, he was in desperate need for entertainment after spending for what seemed like hours weeping his tears off when editing the video and publishing it online. It was hard enough to try and go through said video without feeling a hint of despair, let alone cry about it. But he needed to let it go, just like the Princesses and the Royal Couple advised on the video.

Many people have their own methods to make a quick revisit to Happytown again. In Matthew's case, what constitutes a good day to him was a whole session of gaming and YouTube as a form of escapism. He found it difficult to remember anything about reality and responsibilities, and enjoy the fantasy and fictional worlds out there.

We're getting off track here. Anyway, the point was Matthew needed something to get his mind off of things for a while. Twilight would be busy at the moment, it's the weekdays after all and people would be in their workstation at this hour doing, well work. His shift won't start until twelve, he has about an hour left to do whatever. The only problem for him was finding a good way to spend it.

He thought of sharpening up his parkour skills for a bit near the playground. Problem was the sun would be directly above his head shining at its brightest, not to mention it's almost more than forty degrees celsius out there, sticking your head in an oven would give you much better temperatures than going outside. In fact, Matthew assumed it was much more better burning his privates by bathing it with gas and setting it alight.

Anyway, by the looks of it, it didn't seem like there's much to do except for one: have a quick browse through the internet and see if there's anything funny or at least interesting to entertain himself.

As if this wasn't his daily routine every weekend.

He made his way upstairs to his room and searched around his bag that contained his laptop, only for him to facepalm himself when he found it propped in front of his bed after spending a good ten minutes of shifting through thin air.

Turning it on, he directed his mouse towards the internet app and have a gander at his YouTube channel to have a quick inspection. Checking his subscription panel, there doesn't seem to be any that piqued his interests. Sure, the Finebros (love you mates.) did another gaming episode and Pewds (the legend) uploaded his recent video of having another go at Bloodborne, which judging by the thumbnail, there would be a lot of cases where he would suffer a lot of deaths. The more concerning thing was the release of the Youtubers reacting to Youtube Rewind 2015. He used up his time yesterday playing the video over and over trying to pinpoint which Youtuber was which, before he realised it was a waste of his entire two hours practically doing something useless.

Hold on, sometimes the useless times were the best times of your life. We've all done stupid things in life and looking back at it, we could just laugh about it because it happened and it was hilarious. Many people like a laugh in their lives periodically, why not we've done something so wrong and make it funny?

He was sent back to reality and took a look at his watch and realised he's fifteen minutes late for his shift. With an exclamation sentence,  he went down, wore his shoes and set off to his workplace.


Twilight spent most of her afternoon going through alternate timelines of Equestria and tried stopping Starlight Glimmer from changing the timeline she come to know and belonged to.

It was surprising that she only spent a few hours trying that, the day was still going by the time Starlight realised her mistake and become one of their best friends. With Starlight she could become an extra reactor if Matthew agreed to let her in.


She then slapped herself out of it. She couldn't help it, she loved him. Unfortunately, he came up with a pretty good reason why they can't be together. He was a teenage 15 year-old human from another dimension and to him she was a sentient talking pony,with wings and horns and the like. Despite him at the age where he's underaged to be actually working for a living, he was still too irresponsible to have a partner, at least not until he grows up and less stress he has to cope everyday.

For the moment, all she could was wish and wait. There's not much she can do about it except for that.

Just then, her Crystalphone nearby chimed loudly in front of her, her head spun towards to the sound. Usually she would dismiss it as one of her friends who texted her, yet she made it clear to everyone the other day that she wouldn't be able to answer any messages or calls she receives until it was around 9 o' clock. She warned the others nearly a week ago because she had a few conferences and meetings she had to do as being a princesses does not mean you can sit your flank whenever you want to. There were times were she'd gotten messages so much that she was given permission to be alone so she could shut her phone off to continue the discussion.

The method worked for her, but at the moment she was given a message by someone already. The chime was different though, like the one she would get from not-so-recognisable ponies and a couple of others.

Knowing it was either one from those who attended the conference last week or it was a wrong number. So, curiosity took over her and opted her to check what it was. And when she saw who sent it, she felt like she could scream the entire castle down to rubble. (To which some Bronies were glad to happen)

She was grinning from ear to ear, metaphorically speaking. Who else could she be excited to reply except Matthew? Everyone practically knew about her crush by then when he was about to leave Equestria, yet as anyone could tell, she would always wished for him like hoping for Senpai to notice a Kohai or however they correctly pronounced it.

She'll admit he wouldn't probably ever see her more than a best friend (friendzoned), that wouldn't stop her from trying though.

Unlocking her phone, she immediately read the message carefully.


Dear Twilight,

How are things holding up in your world? Mine hasn't ended yet, if you're wondering. And don't worry, your little secret is safe between us and a few others.

I wouldn't want to trouble you in any way but if you have the time, can you demand these individuals to come along and do another reaction? The studio is still there, right? I hope you're willing to do this on your own. I wish you luck on being able to do this for me. If they decided not to cooperate then I'd understand.

Chrysalis
Sunset Shimmer
Discord
Gilda
Starlight Glimmer (I heard she's your new friend now, shouldn't be too hard to persuade her to join in)
Trixie
Babs Seed
King Sombra ( I heard rumours that he was dead. If so, then you don't have to do anything about him.)
Thanks for sticking by me and agreeing to do this, I appreciate it.
P.S. I miss you, you know? Maybe I'll come back one day. I'll be waiting.


She squeaked in glee, the post note was the best part of the message. Her hoofs tiptoeing quickly as if she wanted to run to him and hug him so tightly for saying those.

She realised what she was doing and and took a big breath in and out. She needed to contain her excitement and do what she can do to do another reaction for him. The next morning, she will wake up early and put down all her schedules she had planned earlier and invite all of the aforementioned characters to get together for this one. Some wouldn't be much of a problem like Starlight who she'd made friends with earlier, Fluttershy would give Discord a call about it since she had a strong relationship with him. Though sometimes he liked to call himself Q or some person called John DeLancie, like they're some fascinating beings or something.

Gilda won't be so hard either ever since she had given up all her hatred towards RD and Pinkie, so getting her along wasn't an issue.

The real problem here was the others like Chyrsalis, Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. The former already had bad blood ever since her brother's wedding. How did Matthew managed to get her on last time was something beyond her imagination. She'd probably listen to Matthew better than her, and more confident to work with him.

She never got her phone number though, or if she even has a phone to begin with. But Matthew did say he got them together by Discord, who wrote invitations to them in the first place.

Setting her phone down, she heaved a heavy sigh, unsure if the method was going to work a second time. Tommorow she'll find out, but until then all she could do was hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Vannossgaming





If the video can't be displayed then I have to find a way to make it available to you.

The video began and instantly they were greeted with a text saying they were in for a treat of comedy.

"Oh this is gonna be good."

"Ooh, I think I wanna try this with Twilight once I get back home."

"Living objects? That's a trick I have to learn someday."

"Time to hunt some props."

The rest remained dormant for the first few seconds, hoping for something funny to happen, they're about to.

Terroriser was lead to a single room with a button, signs all around encouraged the first would-be to press it to obtain a prop gun or whatever (I'm not familiar with Gmod). One of them (can't tell if it's Vannoss or Delirious) playing as a prop soda can tried persuading him to press the button like the signs advertised it, but it wasn't long before he was recognised instantly and exploded in blood, full of it. The other players playing as the hunters, FourZer0Seven and Terroriser, even the other prop player (again, don't know which it is) were practically laughing their heart out when they saw that.

And most of the cast did.

"Oh my Celestia, hahahahaha!"

"Yeah, a can in the middle of nowhere would tootaally not be suspicious."

"He needs some practise hiding and blending in, but what can I say?"

What happened next was the best part of the video in my opinion. Terroriser was enticed by everyone to push the button as they said it repeatedly throughout the game. And- as you guessed it, it was all a deathtrap for stupid souls like him to get crushed by a car, eliminating him out from the game until the next round starts. The other hunter, FourZer0Seven (or was it Terroriser himself) tried to warn him against doing it, but still curious on what will happen if he did.

He got a front row seat of seeing his companion died by a simple trick. And everyone else just couldn't help themselves but convulsed at the idiot who fell for it.

"That's why you don't push suspicious buttons,"

"I've tried it with Twilight and fooled her into having her ears blasted with airhorns,"


!!!!!!MLG PLAYA!!!!!!!!!


The scene changed into the only remaining prop player in the game, hovering around as another small soda can trying to avoid detection from FourZer0Seven as he was the only hunter left in the game. If he was mistaken then he would be dead too.

Delirious successfully avoided getting spotted long enough to be able to corner around the room, again this time encouraging him to press the button like the idiot Terroriser did. Zero had learned enough from his pal that such things were better off giving it a pass and decided to ignore his plea. As his last attempt to try and destroy the prop once and for all, he launched a grenade blindly in the warehouse, causing the whole basement to explode. Everyone didn't knew that was going to happen and was surprised and amused by his sudden failure and blowing up the entire room off.

"Holy moly, what just happened?!"

"I ain't gonna play around with explosives ever again. I don't think I even imagined that before I was a CMC,"

"That is one deadly warehouse, I gotta say!"

"You know, this reminded me of the wedding raid that happened years ago,"

Twilight was beginning to fume with anger the moment she said that, as if Chrysalis intentionally wanted her to get riled up. If she says anything that would be a reminder to her brother's wedding, someone's not going to leave the recording set with their lives.

The clip cuts (well I cut it to the important bits of the video) into Vannoss and Delirious choosing to be a prop in the next round. Both went for the used gas pump from the scrapyard together. The scene was skipped to the part where Vannoss was trying to advise his friend, Delirious from being in the same location as he was or else they would be immediately noticed by the hunters as the real prop players. Delrious followed his advise and started moving away from him to find a suitable place for him to pose as a regular gas pump while trying to make a sneaking tune as he got farther.

"Run away, man!"

"Never-ever hide in the same place as your friend. I played this once with RD back at Junior Flight Camp, and I made that mistake,"

"I didn't know there was a game dedicated to pretend to be objects. That's what I always do in my downtime,"

The scene changed again as Vannoss turned himself into a shiny fire hydrant on the sidewalk, he also acknowledged his friend that he switched his prop of choice. Delirious was confused and demanded that he would make himself identified for a second. Vannoss did a quick leap as a sign that he's over there and Delirious laughed out again. Immediately approving his decision to be a less conspicuous prop to be, he suggested Vannoss to move more towards the middle of the street to be even more invisible.

"Yes, nobody would suspect a fire hydrant,"

"Trixie would have chosen something more...pizzazz,"

"Playing with friends is always the best,"

The hunters were released as Terroriser and FourZer0Seven wasted no time making their way outside onto the quiet street (if you don't count the hilarious commentary by all of the gamers) only illuminated by the moonlight and a row of many streetlights. Vannoss saw Zero approaching the road and tried misleading him into thinking one of them were hiding by the car. For a split second, Delirious shifted his position a little bit and Vannoss just chuckle wondering what Delirious was trying to do. Not long after that effort, Delirious again tried move his location from the street and into one of the darker areas of the loading dock of the warehouse. Which was a big mistake as Terroriser spotted him trying to get away from them and instantly gave chase.

"Oh come on, don't do that. Now look what you've done,"

"I should train my soldiers on how to be less-suspicious ponies after seeing this idiot moved without checking,"

Delirious finally discovered that he was found out and screamed in cheery fear as he tried his best to escape from Terroriser trying to kill him. Soon, Zero joined in and began working together to decimate Delirious and then it began to be turned into a cat and mouse chase between the hopeless Delirious and the ever-laughing Terroriser and Zero and what Vannoss could only do without getting himself recognised was just watch and laugh as the scene unfold the way it was. Zero started teasing his prop choice by saying if he needed some gas as he continued bombarding him with bullets.

Many of the cast were encouraging Delirious to get away but some were just like Vannoss, watch his friend get screwed.

Not long after, Delirious was finally defeated as he was brought down by Terroriser and Zero, eliminating him from the round and earning a point to each of the hunters (I think) for taking him out. This left Vannoss as their next and final target left to win this round.

"That was an intense fight for survival!"

"One thing I have to say, with this game hide-and-seek would never be the same again,"

"*singing* I tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter,*singing*"

They have no time to lose so they started their search for Vannoss. Zero was dangerously close to him and he took the stupid move by taunting him with a hop as he was exactly beside him. Believe it or not, he was still able to be still pretend back to normal and Zero was oblivious to what he did. As far as stupid moves go, this was the best by far.

"Holy crap, how did he not notice that?"

That was a sweet recovery right there,"

Zero went about the street looking for Vannoss, which from his prespective did another hop and even then others were unable to find him despite making himself seen for a split second twice. The dead prop player, Delirious, warned him from jumping again or else he would be recognised.

I added a subtitle to the video of what delirious mentioned once in the game, the only statement had finally gave the hunters the opportunity as the most obvious clue they have ever gotten in their playthrough. Delirious tried taking it back and apologised to Vannoss for unintentionally giving his identity away so clumsily, but it was too late to do anything. Terroriser immediately figured out what the clue meant to represent and darted towards to one of the only fire-hydrants in the map, holding his giggle to warn Vannoss to run when he has the chance.

"Celestiadammit, Delirious!"

"Sometimes friends are a*******,"

He shrieked as he hovered quickly away from Terroriser before he could shoot him but no luck. He only had less than two seconds before he was blown up to smithereens. One of the hunters claimed they were introduced what a fire-hydrants were despite living in Ireland and thanked Delirious for unexpectedly revealing the object Vannoss was posing as. Dogs were sometimes depicted as having an affection to taking a piss on a fire-hydrant.

"Never in my life, would I have a friend who would snitch on me,"

"Well, what can you do now? It's practically hopeless,"

The next round began and this time Vannoss and Delirious were the ones hunting for Terroriser and Zero, they would call it as another round to play, I call it a chance to get payback. On one occasion, they were asked to open a restroom door only to be found locked. What they found amusing was they activated a sound effect of a loo flushing inside, making everyone roar their laughter out.

"*imitating* Oh do you need to use the bathroom? I'm done here,*imitating*"

Still in the same round, Vannoss found one of the prop players who took the appearance of a short and small cardboard box running away behind him. Vannoss tried to finish them off but all of his bullets were missing their target no matter how hard he tried. Wanting for this to end, a grenade was launched but unfortunately it hit Delirious and wasn't purposely blocked the prop player from being dead. Vannoss was then blasted off to the roof and his corpse landed into one of the many fallen stacks of wooden crates.

"F***ing Delirious, you son of a b****!"

"I hate it when that happens in FPS games,"

Already gone from the round, Vannoss had to depend on Delirious to get that prop player before the time runs out. He did his best trying to point where the box was going to escape and Delirious gave chase to the box for over than ten seconds before he finally collapse under the pressure suddenly for unknown reasons. A word of wisdom from Vannoss, trying to kill a prop player inside the warehouse is very unsafe and recommended to avoid the area all together or explore with extreme caution.

"Here's a little tip: never play this map, alright?"

"Suddenly dying wouldn't be surprising. I've seen my share of heart attacks due to my soldiers starving...well, that was dark,"

They all have reached the final round of the game. This last time was Vannoss's and Delirious's  turn to have the first 30 seconds to disguise as an object. Delirious was way ahead of him and took on the mask as an ordinary telephone booth from the rows of phone booths at the corner of the level. Vannoss then did his part trying to change himself to an appropriate prop he could to make himself hidden. But all the effort was meaningless when Zero immediately him ducking behind a dumpster as an out-of-place looking cinderblock.

He tried making his getaway, turning himself into all sorts of things before he found a flower pot would be small enough to be unnoticeable. Unfortunately Zero saw the whole thing unfold, his hopelessness to hide became opportunity to kill Vannoss off for good.

"He's done man. He's done,"

the rest of the cast giggled in amusement.

Zero felt like he did a good job finding Vannoss so easily, truth be told Vannoss was just too clumsy and made himself exposed so much that Zero was able to identify him quickly.

Another minute has passed and yet Zero have yet to find the second prop player, Delirious who was still posing as a phone booth. Many times Zero was dangerously near where Delirious was standing.

"Oh my goddesses, how is he not noticing that?"

"If there was a lone phone booth on the street, I would totally feel suspicious,"

At one point, Zero guessed right that Delirious was the phone booth under a streetlight and showered him with lots and lots of bullets before Delirious's reflex kicked in and turned himself into a dumpster. The best part was Zero thought he lost sight of him and assumed he was far off into the warehouse.

"Delirious is a ninja!"

"Damn, he's good at this,"

"That's one heck of a getaway, I'm actually impressed,"

It was almost near the end of the time before Zero finally recognised him as the same phone booth but he was too late. The clock finsihed and declared that the props were the winners of this round. Zero wasn't impressed and still peppered him with bullets before he disappeared for good.

"*heavy sigh as he stopped laughing* that was close,"

"He should take some lessons from me. I know all about stealth when it comes to being objects,"

"This brings back some old memories. One day, I always wished I could play hide-and-seek again. This game was the best example I have seen so far,"

"Games are meant to be played for fun, and bringing friends over would make the playthrough a lot more better and hilarious."

"Oh Delirious, you're such a clever doge,"

The video finally ended.


Since I'm not in Equestria to ask them some questions, I won't be writing them in here, sorry. Twilight could have easily took that role but unfortunately her relationship with these individuals defer. A third party individual was needed for a blanced prespective across each reactors but none were available at the time. So, I'm leaving out the question time for another day. I hope you understand and have a nice day!
