Total Pony Island Interviews Chapter 1: A popular trio, a Mario + My Little Pony Crossover fanfic

"Hello everyone my name is Jimmy and you're tuning into the Total Pony Special, well a part of it anyways. I'm here with the most popular competitors from last season: Fluttershy, Applejack, and Princess Twilight Sparkle." Jimmy introduced.

"Glad to be here sugarcube." Applejack said.

"Same here." Twilight agreed.

"Um, it's great to be here." Fluttershy said feeling nervous.

"Alright, so lets talk about last season." Jimmy suggested. "Fluttershy, you won. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, but what about my-"

"Tell us how you felt when you won."

"Well, I never thought I was gonna win at first, but with my friends at my side I knew I could do it and didn't give up."

"Yeah, lets not forget that changeling being your target. Ah had to help you out so that way we could take her out and that's how both of us managed to get to the final three." Applejack added.

"At least you both had a chance to play." Twilight cuts in. "I however, was eliminated by Pinkie and nopony even noticed."

"Well can ya blame her?"

"I don't know but I did have the perfect plan. I wanted to come out of the shadows at the perfect time, then get to the final five at least."

"Considering Toad completely forgot about you, I don't think that was gonna work." Jimmy said.

"I guess we'll never know."

"Well I can tell you all you were the most favorites of the season by far. All three of you played different games throughout the season. Twilight you went from being hidden, to known, back to being hidden again. Fluttershy went from being hidden to a powerful player in the end. Applejack you had a tough start at first, but then you gave it your best effort and became a runner-up in the end. Somehow, all three of you didn't team up and join forces. I would've gone crazy if all three of you were in the finale." Jimmy explains.

"Well we were on separate teams at the beginning and only Pinkie was on my team." Twilight said. "Also, I think we all formed different alliances."

"Yeah, Fluttershy and I formed an alliance taking that changeling down. Twilight on the other hand was just doin her own thing." Applejack added.

"It was a strategy I used." Twilight pointed out.

"But didn't Pinkie eliminate you?" Fluttershy reminded her.

"Can we please not talk about that?" Twilight suggested.

"Sorry."

"Anyway lets move on to some fan questions." Jimmy insisted.

Time for some fans

"Applejack, if you get a chance to compete again, do you hope you have your sister on your team this time? You never were on the same team at all."

"Darn tootin ah hope so." Applejack responded. "Ah barely got to spend time with mah little sister last season, but she did give her bully a run for her money. It was a little sad seeing her leave last time."

"Another comment."

"Fluttershy this question is for you. Are you in love with Discord?"

Fluttershy's eyes widened with shock. "Umm, well we're just friends at the moment, but I can tell he really does like me alot.

"Moving on."

"Twilight, you were my favorite from last season. I thought all of your friends would make it past the merge, but I hope you compete in season two."

"As I said before, it was a strategy." Twilight said.

"At least we all played a good game." Applejack said.

"I love Twilight and her friends. I hope they all get to the final six next and hope they compete next season."

"Well it was fun, but some ponies especially Trixie were just a pain. I just hope I don't end up with Trixie, again." Twilight said.

"Are you saying you don't want compete again?" Jimmy asks in disbelief.

Everyone in the audience gasped at this; especially Applejack and Fluttershy.

"No I mean, the million would be nice and all but what if compete again and I'm the first one eliminated? That would be shocking and not to mention it'll leave a bad mark on my reputation. I don't think it would be alright, then I'll miss ponies I know and just quit." Twilight explains

Everyone gasped in horror again.

"Its true." Applejack agreed. "That guy Snails couldn't take it anymore and quit the game. Spike quit the game too because he thought we didn't need him. Ah was gonna quit too to be honest, ah missed mah little sis after she got eliminated before we merged teams. Ah mean the game does get to most ponies because it's just too hard."

"I know, everypony had to work hard, play hard, and try even harder. Total Pony is not easy to most ponies." Fluttershy said.

"Sorry its just you're BORING ME TO DEATH!" Jimmy complains. "Lighten up girls."
