"Go play Call of Cutie!" Said Scootaloo to Sweetie Belle over the PlayStable Network. Sweetie Belle has been playing FillyFighters 4 for several days straight without taking a single break, and her friends were worried she wouldn't rank up before Call of Cutie 2 came out. No one could wait for that game, so many practiced.

"No thanks," said Sweetie Belle, "I need to get the high score in this game if it kills me."

"It just might..." Muttered Scootaloo. "Anyway, you know that the Cutie Mark Crusaders have a clan on Call of Cutie. If you're not there to help us, we'll enter the next rank without you!"

"Don't worry. I'll get the high score before the tournament. Just hold your horses!"

"Ugh, fine."

And with that, Scootaloo signed out.

"Rank up!" Said Twilight over the microphone to the others. "Now I have the Desert Eagle :D"

"Lucky..." Said Rarity, "I still haven't gotten the GOOD sniper rifle :("

The girls have been playing for several days, training for when they finally prestiged. Except for Fluttershy, who already prestiged three times.

AppJak: Consarnit Fluttershy, at this rate you'll reach the maximum rank before Rarity even gets to Rank 50.

Rarinator: Hey!

Rarinator: :(

TwiSpa: Meh...I need a new game _

P1nk13-p13: WHAAAAAAAT

Fluttershy-Kill-U: Um...if it's alright with you girls...I don't want another game until I prestige ten times...

Fluttershy-Kill-U: If that's...okay...

AppJak: Of course sugarcube

Fluttershy-Kill-U: FUCK YEAH

TwiSpa: Why do you keep cursing? :o

Fluttershy-Kill_U: Well, um...Rainbow Dash said that the best way to make friends online is to curse them out and insult their mothers.

Fluttershy-Kill-U: And she also told me to have a menacing username, and that 'Fluttershy-Wuvs-U' wasn't menacing enough...

TwiSpa: ...Really? -_-

Ra1nB0w360: Heheh...yeah...

The girls returned to the GameClop to find something new. After last time, they decided definitely check the game's rating this time, to see if they wouldn't get queasy, much to Rainbow Dash's dismay.

"Are we looking for a game with guns?" said Rainbow Dash.

"...or animals...?" said Fluttershy.

"You know what?" said Twilight, "Lets all get a different game and tell each other how it is."

"YES!" said Rarity, picking up a game with a handsome looking stallion clutching the edge of a train. "I'm going to have fun with this." said Rarity, focusing on the cover.

"Oooh!" said Pinkie Pie holding a game with a sort of dark glowing mask on the cover. The game was rated 'M'.

Twilight picked up a critically acclaimed science game and smiled at the price, as well as the rating.

Fluttershy eagerly picked up a game with a puppy on the cover, and another game when the others weren't looking.

Rainbow Dash picked up an 'M' rated game with a white-cloaked stallion on the cover, surrounded by other ponies and such.

And Applejack picked up a game with a fast-looking carriage on the cover. "Carriages are like horses, right?"

They all paid for their games and left. Fluttershy was the last to pay because she didn't want the others to see the other game she got.

Spike walked into GameClop about half an hour later. After searching for a few minutes, he found one simply titled "Dragon Age".

"Seems legit." said Spike, and purchased the copy.

Twilight started up her game, Portal 2, and began what would evolve into a 12 hour play session.

"Uncharted 2: Among Steeds." said Rarity, "Well this stallion does look like the adventurer type.'

Rarity took the game into her bedroom and didn't leave for hours.

"These missions are sooo booooring." said Rainbow Dash. "The back of the game said I can be a master assassin," she said, eyeing the case of Assassin's Steed Brotherhoof, "SO WHY THE BUCK AM I DELIVERING LETTERS?"

"You are sooooo cute!" said Fluttershy, feeding her virtual puppy in Dogz. "Not too fast now, Sergio. You wouldn't want to get a tummy ache!"

Fluttershy looked at the other game she purchased and thought for a second. "I gotta make sure to hide this and play it offline..."

"POW, RIGHT IN THE KISSER!" said Pinkie Pie as she just headbutted a necromorph in Dead Space 2. She was certainly enjoying the mental hospital setting of the game, especially the blood all over the walls, floor, and ceiling. "I wish I could keep one of these things!" she said as an Infector chewed the head off a pony, making Pinkie Pie giggle at the gore.

"CONSARNIT!" said Applejack as she crashed her carriage for the 17th time. "THIS BUCKIN' CART KEEPS FLIPPIN' OVER LIKE A BUCKIN PONY ON PUNCH!". She gave the cover a dirty look. Burnout Paradise on the cover. "Oh WHAAAT? WHERE THE BUCK DID HE COME FROM? MY CARRIAGE IS IN 'CRITICAL CONDITION'? BUUUUU-"

Spike seemed to be enjoying his game, even though he hadn't fought or even seen a dragon yet. It didn't help that he was skipping all the cutscenes either. He could play as differnt races: Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus...but one in particular made his wonder.

"What's a hee-ooo-man?" said Spike. "They sure are bucking ugly."

The next day came and Twilight seems to have fallen asleep with the controller in her hand; her hooves and face covered in drool. Her mane was a mess, and her eyes were bloodshot.

"Ugh...what the hay happened?"

She got on her hooves and stood up a bit, glancing at her screen. It said "GAME PAUSED" with other options and selections. She went upstairs to Spike and found that he was still awake, eyes glued to the screen.

"...Spike?"

No reply.

"Spiiike? You want some pancakes? I got your favorite syrup!"

No reply.

She put a hoof on Spike's controller and he promply slapped her, making her reel back.

"WHY THE BUCK IS 'THE FADE' SO CELESTIA DANGED HARD? I'VE BEEN WALKING IN CIRCLES FOR 15 HOURS!"

Pinkie Pie watched the ending of the game in awe, her eyes wide as she saw the ship crash through the chamber to save the pony called 'Isaac'.

"Yes! I beat it on Zealot mode!"

Pinkie Pie checked at the time and gasped, but then got back to playing.

"One more achievement and I get the master achievement!"

She was taken to the menu after seeing an ending she did not understand, but then realized she never played the first one.

"Time for Hardcore mode!" she said eagerly.

Rarity started playing the game for the first time.

Fluttershy finally conquered the game she so cautiously tried to hide. Anypony could barge in at any moment. She decided to save her progress and try it again tomorrow on a higher difficulty. She was lucky the game didn't have any achievements, otherwise anypony else could see what she was playing. And that would be devastating, she thought.

She packed Horny Unicorns XXX into its case and left her house.

Applejack sighed in contentment as she finally got passed level one. "About buckin' time!" she said aloud to herself. She unlocked a blue carriage with red hot-rod flames. "Yeee-haaaw!" she yelled loud enough to wake up everything in the barn.

Rainbow Dash pressed the square button and dove unto the guard, stabbing him in the throat and taking him out silently. From there she leaped a ledge and disarmed another guard, cutting through him with his own weapon. When other guards were alerted, she threw a smoke grenade and took them out quietly while they couldn't see. Lastly, she climbed a large tower, looked around, and jumped off, landing in a bale of hay which she promptly started eating, refilling her health bar.

Rainbow Dash was playing this game while dressed as an assassin, the white hooded garb just the right size, with holes for her wings.

"Wearing this makes playing this game 20% cooler." she said with a giggle as Ezio Auditore a la Pony slit an innocent pony's throat.

Sweetie Belle saw her score go up and up and up through extremely baggy eyes. SHe struggled to keep them open but eventually saw her high score:

999,999,999,999,999

She tried jumping for joy as she got the Equestria-wide high score (now Celestia was in 2nd place) but the most her body would allow was a slight hop before drifting off to sleep.

"SWEETIE BELLE!" yelled Scootaloo as she barged in.

"Mmm...tastes like knlkndsjbd" said Sweetie Belle.

Scootaloo looked worried. "Uh, how long have you been playing?"

Sweetie Belle mumbled something that sounded like "Dirty shoe"

"THIRTY TWO HOURS? Oh celestia, I don't know whether to let you sleep or bring you to a hospital!"

"M feel fine sssssquisshih" muttered Sweetie Belle, standing up.

"What are you doing?" said Scootaloo.

"Gettim somfin to dwink."

Sweetie Belle went to her special gaming mini-fridge and found a water bottle. Opening it, she started drinking.

"Um, Okay you should stop that and come with me to the hospital."

"Wai?"

"Well for starters, you're pouring that water all over the floor. Second, you're not even making real sentences anymore. How do you go to the bathroom?"

Sweetie Belle dropped her water bottle, spilling it everywhere. She stumbled over to a small desk and held up a large bottle full of strange liquid.

Scootaloo was about to say something when she instead said "Okay...but how do you...do...number two?"

Sweetie Belle was about to take another container out of the mini fridge when Scootaloo stopped her. "Oh Celestia, NEVERMIND. Hospital, now!" ordered Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo." said Sweetie Belle mustering up strength for words.

"Yeah?"

"Back up...my...saved data." said Sweetie Belle. Then she blacked out.
