S1 Episode 6, 7, 8: Boast Dragon Sleep?

Setting up her camera, Twilight had a look of... being disturbed. The purple book looked frazzled as she paced, "Spike? Is this thing on?"

"Red dot." he replied off screen.

"Oh?" She seemed to look at you. "Oh! Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle... and my friends might be possessed." She looked over to our left, "Spike! Did you change the scri-"

A new recording took the place of the last one due to poor editing. "-ht be crazy. Let us begin."

Episode 6

Trixie the Great and Powerful balanced breakfast cereal stood at her stage. "Now the Great and Powerful Trixie will return to her human form!"

She covered herself with her ungodly huge purple hat, emerging as a light blue human. Everyone had fruit out to toss before she explained her magic silver drinking. Everyone calmed and watched.

Pinkie pointed her serpent tail, "Hey! That isn't magic!" Using her springy, slinky body, she pounced onto the stage landing as a telephone booth. Her phone rang, but before anyone could answer she was a laptop displaying the words, "1v1 me m8. n00b hacker."

Trixie hammer simply fell near Pinkie, whispering, "What are you doing?"

"Proving you're not the best magic user."

"OK. So you would let me go hungry and homeless just to prove something dumb?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Telegram Pinkie asked the minotaur Trixie in nice handwriting Rarity would be jealous of.

A man in the crowd boo'ed, demanding more magic. It was then Rainbow Dash upstaged Trixie and she had to stop her.

Human Trixie got into a fighting stance, "Come on! I have Russian blood so I can fight bears!"

Fluttershrub just stared at her.

"I'm a skilled magician! I can... kill giant bears?" Trixie said, giving Rainbow a headlock as Apple Jack tried lasso tricks while Pinkie was a rock.

Soon Trixie was threatened by the angry crows in the crowd and garbage was tossed at her. Rarity turned the clean part of the stage into a fashion show while Pinkie forced Twilight to have a magic duel with Trixie for superiority... which they both declined.

Within the crowd, a greenish-orange mouse boy and his big orange snail friend decided to find a bear to save Trixie's career. I mean, who wouldn't want to see bear wrestling? "Let's go grab an Ursa Major!" Snips proclaimed as they left.

"But aren't they dangerous?" Snail asked, following.

"Exactly! She mentioned having Russian blood so the bigger the easier!"

"Russians must be awesome."


"It was later known that it was a myth." Twilight finished her tale, closing herself. "I had to use magic, fix the problem, and watch as Trixie lost her rental wagon home. I offered to let her stay here, but she claimed that it was my fault."

Behind the camera, Spike requested, "Tell the Fluttershrub story. With the dragon."

Twilight looked at the camera, flustered, "H- how do you know about-"

"The red dragon in the mountain."

"You can edit that out, right?"

"Edit it yourself."

Episode 7

"If I'm going then I need my pot." Fluttershy pointed out after Twilight explains Princess Celestia's letter.

Rarity just looked at her, "Darling, I was unaware you had... those habits."

"What? I can not stay rooted on stone so I need my ceramic pots."

Rainbow sighed.

"Seriously, Dash? We've grown up with each other!" Fluttershrub stamped a rooty hoof. "Are you not aware that I hate fire or that trees can't jump?"

"I've seen you jump before!" Rainbow retort.

"I was wearing flower pots-"

"Twilight, we don't need every detail."

"Alright, fine!"

After gearing up, we traveled the mountain to stop the dragon from spreading smoke across Equestria. But, we ran into some problems like Fluttershrub.

"Come on Fluttershrub!" Rainbow shouted from the other mountain wall. Fluttershrub stood at what could've easily been an easy jump, staring at the ground far below. "Hop, skip, and a jump!"

"But I'm a tree! It will never work out!"

"We can get through this together, the two of us!" Rainbow reached out.

"Can't you just hold me in your arms?"

"Please come closer! You're almost there!" Rainbow urged.

Fluttershrub looked hesitant, "Help! I feel so alone!"

"I'm right here!"

"Twilight, you're making this sound like your romantic Flutterdash fanfic."

"You're taking it out of context!" Twilight rolled her eyes. "Besides, she said she didn't want my help!"

"You are a demon to her. The shredded remains of her people bound by-"

"When we finally got to the top-!"

When we finally got to the top, everyone decided to attack the dragon head on in their own way. It's a sleeping dragon, fighting and parties will annoy it and if you look like a noble... or a marshmallow then they will assume you're after their horde.

Getting a dragon to listen is supposed to be a good time. Attack and pester before reason, you're gonna have a bad time. Friends before Fluttershrub then you're gonna have a bad time.

After Twilight was kicked out of the cave for preaching about Celestia the burning sun, the dragon followed. And. He. Was. Angry.

Fluttershrub looked around before launching herself with a great leap onto the dragon's face. "How dare you?! I can understand and have no problem killing Twilight, but my friends? You've gone too far! We just ask that you sleep pointed in the other direction, please."

Rainbow struggled to look at Fluttershrub, "You're just now helping us?"

"Twilight was taking her precious time."


Twilight sat in her seat in front of the webcam, a warm mug of blue ink with a lead cube in her lock's grasp. "Sorry, it took me a while to end this, princess. Some technical problem arose, but things are fine." She chuckled nervously, "In fact, I'm in the middle of a slumber party. Wish me luck... and watch Spike closely."

There was a crash then a pillow flung passed the background.

"Make sure he doesn't raise the dead or something-"

"You brute!"
"B***h!"

"My reports are as follows: Keep your friends close and the homeless closer, face your fears and don't let your friends kill each other while recording a video."

The camera was knocked over and Twilight let out a frustrated groan, "Stop playing truth or dare!"
