Great Ridge Gang
Chapter 4 - "The SmashTube Challenge" Challenge
Okay, everyone. The first video of the Great Ridge Gang is finally here! Who's excited? I am, and I am the one who's behind all this so obviously lol.
Maybe it's just the fact that like "Teenagers", this type of idea was basically in my head for a while, but I never thought of executing it in writing. So I'm dumping out everything I thought of in public for the past couple years. But, I guess it was worth the wait.
So, here's how this is gonna work. This entire chapter will basically be the video, and the chapter following will be the aftermath of it. Let's see how it all plays out! See if you guess the actual YouTubers that had their names altered for the sake of this fanfiction.

'The SmashTube Challenge' Challenge
"Hey!"
"Yo!"
"'Sup!"
"How's it going?"
"I'm Kev- oh wait, Golden, you should go first 'cause your the oldest."
"...Really?"
"Yeah, you should." Freddy nodded in agreement with Kevin.
"...Alright, I'm Golden."
"Marion!"
"Kevin!"
"Martin!"
"Bonnie!"
"Freddy!"
"Steven!"
"Foxy!"
"Ryan!" The light green rabbit introduced himself. "And together, we're the Great Ridge Gang!"
"Welcome to our channel!" Everyone said simultaneously.
"Don't if we were super cheesy or not, so please bear with us guys, haha." Foxy spoke.
"But anyway, tonight we are officially shooting our first video, which should be tomorrow…" Martin stared at the ceiling a little to think. "...which basically means today where you guys are,... but the point is this is gonna be our first video!"
"And today, we will be doing 'The SmashTube Challenge' Challenge." Bonnie extended his arms. "It's where we have to guess the amount of subscribers popular SmashTubers have."
"Everytime we guess right, we get a point." Foxy elaborated on the rules. "But everytime we guess wrong, something gets dumped over our heads. And this is all the stuff we have here."
The camera was then pointing at all the items that were placed down on the kitchen table.
"So, here's hot it's gonna work." Marion wanted to add additional details before they got started. "Since there are nine people here, we made up our own additional rules to this. There will be four people at a time commanding four more people the accounts we gotta guess the amount of subscribers on. The remaining person gets to choose which item will get dumped on whoever. ...And we already did rock, paper, scissors. I will be doing the choosing here for right now… But then I have to start reading accounts to people after the first person. There are ten in total and everytime people guess the wrong amount of subscribers has to be in the same position Martin, Kevin, Ryan, and Foxy are in."
"And that means me, Bonnie, Freddy, and Golden are up first." Steven concluded. "Got it? Good!"
-/-
"First person…" Foxy and the other three readers were eyeing a certain name on Ryan's laptop. "...'Barkiblier'."
"Oh man…" Steven stared off into space, quite a few possible guessing racing through his head. No one had the desire to get punished on their first attempt. "...He's a big gamer… Twenty million."
"Twenty-four million."
"Sixteen million."
"Nineteen million."
"Judges?" Marion turned to the other four teenagers.
"...Alright, Freddy and Bonnie, you two are both wrong unfortunately." Ryan answered. "Sixteen million and nineteen million are not right."
"Dang it…" Bonnie rolled his eyes as Freddy slowly shook his head.
"...Golden's wrong, so that means, Steven, you get a point." Kevin confirmed as Marion began to keep score. "Barkiblier has exactly 21,923,423."
As he clapped his own hands out of relief, the rest of the three were silent knowing what was coming to them.
"Alright." Marion wandered over to glance at the items. "Now I have decide who will get what… Hmm… Bonnie, do you eat salad?"
"No I hate salad. Are you kidding me?" Roberts gave Nette a weird look as if he had multiple heads; though he was well aware what was about to happen.
"Well, you'd better think about it by the end of this video." He squirted out of a bottle of ranch dressing onto a paper plate. Before the bunny could even react, it was already slammed right into his face.
"..."
"Woah..." Freddy stared. He already began to have a bad feeling of his consequence, knowing he was supposed to naturally feel that way anyway.
"Dang, man!" Martin widened his eyes. "That was rough."
Bonnie ended up receiving quite a few laughs from the gang as they all seen his face being covered up with ranch dressing.
"Ew…" He muttered as he grabbed a roll of paper towels near him to wipe his face off. Him hearing Marion's advice on eating salad in the future was never seemed to be taken well.
"Alright, so what should Golden get…" Marion placed a finger beneath his chin, the golden bear staring him down as if he was his intruder. Moments later, he went for the ketchup. "If you don't wanna wipe this off your face, you can lick it off. Alright?"
"Just get it over w-"
SPLAT!
"Oooooh!" said Steven. "Marion I think you put a little too much on there."
"No, this was just the right amount; his head is larger than mine's anyway." He shook his head, as he ended up choosing whipped cream for Freddy. Poor bear...
"...Okay, okay, it's in my eyes!" Freddy had to feel around for the paper towels.
"Okay. Foxy, Ryan, Martin, and Kevin are up. Steven since you got it right, you now get to dump stuff on people instead of me."
"Yes!" Steven held a fist in the air as everyone swapped places.
"Alright, next person…" Freddy was now reading. "How many subscribers does 'Daniel and Risa' have?"
"Oh my god, I have no idea…" Ryan sighed out of frustration. Those two SmashTubers were completely unknown to him. He had to play it safe. "...Two million?"
"One million."
"Four million."
"Seven million."
"...Okay, I'm gonna say this right now." Bonnie said staring at the screen, heaving a nimble sigh of disappointment. "None of you are right. They do not even have a million. They only have 577,113. But, Foxy was the closest."
"Yes!" He grinned largely with both fists raised. "Take that!"
"...Alright." Steven wandered over to the selection of items. "Kevin, you were the furthest away… lemme see what we got… Ooh, relish has the same color as your fur. Let's go for it. It'll look great on you for the ladies, right?"
Unlike Marion who squirted his on a paper plate, Steven chose to squeeze the condiment onto Davis himself, shocking everyone with bursts of it coming out from the bottle. Clearly relish was not the most 'liquified' substance so it was basically even worse than most of the other items the gang had.
"...Im'ma kill you when this is over…"
Kevin Davis was clearly not the one to be messed with.
"Hey, you were the one that said we should do a challenge first before-"
Steven was suddenly hushed by almost everyone else.
"Wait until we're done, okay?" Martin glared, before suddenly getting ketchup squirted all over his face. "... …"
"Now, Ryan. Don't worry. At least you're the first person to get the mayonnaise."
Unlike previously, Steven followed Marion's footsteps and squirted it on the plate before it slammed into Norrison's face.
"Dude... Ugh… It's gonna take me a while to wash my fur tonight… That's all I can say…"
"Alright. Foxy, take my place. We're tied with one point each. Ryan, Martin, and Kevin, you're back here again."
After switching, Martin volunteered to ask the next question. "Alright, y'all. How many subscribers does… 'Sadie Swiftie' have?"
Freddy, Golden, Bonnie, and Marion looked quite astonished.
"...We're doing musicians, too?" Freddy inquired.
"There was no rule against it." Ryan snickered. "Beside, my sisters love her, and they wanted her to be on the list. That's another reason to why they came up with all the accounts."
"Okay, um… Twenty-eight million."
"Twenty-four million."
"Thirty-five million."
"Okay, she's really big so… Forty million."
"...Okay, Bonnie you went too far. Golden you were close, but not close enough." Martin shook his head. "And Marion would've gotten right, but we're not counting people that guess a little over, unless the educated guess is closer than everyone else. But for the most part, we're counting people that guess barely under the actual amount. So, Freddy wins. She has exactly... 31,230,926."
Clapping his hands confidently, it was now Foxy's turn to choose the punishment for Golden, Bonnie, and Marion. "Hmm… No one has tried the jelly, yet…"
He ended up squirting strawberry jam on Golden and Marion. As for Bonnie, he chose to break an egg on his forehead.
"Ow! ...Dang, Foxy! Jeez!" Bonnie glared sharply at the anthropomorphic fox, who was laughing the whole time. "I had a feeling that you wanted to do that to me, anyway."
"If egg salad is the type of sandwich you're eating tonight, make sure you get the rest of the ingredients. The bread is on the top of the fridge just so you know. You could be very hungry after this, so don't hate me."

"Alright, last one. Before we get to it, let's see the scores." Kevin took a glance at the piece of paper they were all keeping score on. "Steven, Foxy, Freddy, Ryan, Golden, and Martin all have one point. Foxy, Freddy, and myself each have two. And because of this, we not have an extra round on our hands. ...By the way in case if you weren't keeping score at home, Marion did not get a single point."
He rolled his eyes.
"So for the last round, it's gonna be Golden vs Bonnie vs Marion vs Foxy. Also, before we get to it, if you guys like what you just saw, why don't you hit that subscribe button for us? We'll be uploading different challenges once in a while, as well as skits, and other stuff."
"And don't forget to hit that like button as well." Foxy added. "It takes less than a second. Just hit it. Please!"
"We also have different social media accounts down in the description so make sure you check that out as well." said Ryan. "Alright, Kevin. Get to the last SmashTuber."
"Alright… How many subscribers does… 'Tony Frightnight' have?"
"...Oh, that famous animator!" Marion snapped his fingers. "I know him!"
"And Foxy," The dark green rabbit eyed him. "this last question you need to get right, or else, you will force a tiebreaker."
"At least my fate is in my own hands." Foxy smirked. "Okay… One point five million."
"Golden?"
"Two million."
"Bonnie?"
"One point one million."
"Marion?"
"One million."
"Now, let's see here…" Kevin stared at the screen. "Golden, you went too overboard. It is not you. Bonnie and… Marion are also wrong. Foxy wins!"
After Foxy finished celebrating, he knew that since he won, he had the opportunity to dump items all over the rest of the Great Ridge Gang. And so, he did, taking every single item and using different combinations to completely shower them with condiments. Obviously, the eight victims were a complete mess.
"...I look like a sloppy sandwich." Ryan sighed. "Do I?"
"Okay, it's in my eyes! It's in my eyes! It's in my eyes!" Bonnie raced to the paper towels to get rid some relish that entered his pupils.
Once all the complaining came to an end at long last, Marion ended up grabbing the camera. "...Alright, everyone. Like Kevin and Foxy said, make sure you hit that like button, comment, and subscribe. We promise you great things in the future. All the links to our other social media accounts are in the description, and we will see you next week with our first skit. ...Now we gotta clean up. Bye, everyone!"
Well, it's official. The first SmashTube/YouTube video is finally out! (Not literally)
This chapter was surprisingly easy to write. Maybe because of the concept being simple. I stated that they were ten YouTube accounts they all had to guess, but I wanted to say two things. Yes, I skipped over to the last one because I didn't want things to get too repetitive. Secondly, this chapter was typed on October 5, 2018. These were the amount of subscribers people had at the time. And speaking of the accounts, here are their actual names:
Barkiblier = Markiplier
Daniel and Risa = Daniel and Riya
Sadie Swifite = Taylor Swift
Tony Frightnight = Tony Crynight
So next chapter is going to be the group celebrating their victory over their first video as they all begin the editing process. Stay tuned!
Questions:
1. Who did you personally want to win?
2. On a scale of one to ten, how humorous was the challenge to you?
I encourage all YouTube challenge fans to review!
