The first event in the 5015 Egglympics began with an icebreaker competition, the Refrain from Screaming During Laying Competition. The rules were simple, lay an egg, and the dragon who could go the longest without screaming would win. This competition was placed first for one simple reason, once the dragons started laying, they would quickly realize how futile it was to refrain from screaming, it was best to start it off fresh while the contestants were still under they delusion they had a fighting chance of going far with this one.

The contestants lined up in the arena, oh so many of them, lady dragons of every tribe, and one dude called Turtle, all ready to lay their eggs.

"On your marks, get set, LAY!"

And it begun.

And no sooner had the first contractions started then dragons all around suddenly burst out screaming.

"Oh no, oh no!" Cried Sunny as she felt the contractions coming on. They hit, and instantly she was screaming horribly. She was just a poor innocent girly-girl, unable to take such pain. She wanted to get off! But this wasn't one of those rides you could just get off once it started, you just had to ride it through, and it was EXCRUCIATING! Ooh how Sunny wanted to scream her brains out. MAKE IT STOP! And scream she did. She screamed so loud, it burst around the entire arena! But get off this painful ride she could not. Poor Sunny, folded over, bum up high in the air, nothing in life prepared her for this.

Moon too started screaming almost immediately, oh poor Moon, it was too much for her unfortunate reserved body to take.

Cricket managed to hold on for a few seconds, but her contractions quickly got so intense that she too was screaming horribly. Oh, pain SO bad, it couldn't even be spoken for.

As more and more of the dragons started screaming, Fatespeaker, Kinkajou (though her screams were strangely mixed with an unnatural assortment of giggles), and much more! Judge Jambu took out the animus touched Pain Reader, created so long ago by an animus dragon so in love with the original games. All the dragons were certainly in incredible agony, that was obvious, but one dragon's pain stood above all the others. Cricket's. Her egg was off the charts! Cricket was screeching so miserably in pain well beyond any of the other dragons here, her screams only outshone by the screams of Sunny. This was not because Cricket didn't hurt worse, but because nobody could scream like Sunny. Sunny may not be winning this competition, but she was already setting the high on the "Loudest Scream" category, that poor dragon. Never had one so wholesome screamed so purely. The sound was like one being murdered, which to be honest, it felt a lot like that too. Yep, poor pathetic Sunny, even if she wasn't making any screaming records (which she was), she was certainly winning for most pathetic. Cricket on the other talon, was setting the record for most painful egg delivered, because Cricket apparently is so much fun to have such torment be inflicted upon. Welp, bet you're glad you aren't Cricket. (Well, unless you are Cricket, reading this right now, and in that case… Oof, glad I'm not you.) Moon too was also in some mortal agony right now, but nobody cared about her, she was making no records either, she could suffer miserably for all we care, if she ain't breakin' no records, we ain't showin' no sympathy. (Poor Moon:.

Tsunami meanwhile was being so super tough and macho, "I won't scream! Oh yeah! I won't-" an amazing contraction, and Tsunami was out screaming too after only 5.23 seconds. While Sunny's display was all pitiful and stuff, Tsunami's was just amusing.

Only a few seconds in, and already most the contestants were screaming and writhing like there was no tomorrow. It was brutal, all great fun for the spectators. At least they weren't the ones in the arena right now, it's not like they'd be in the same situation if they happened to be competitors like everyone else.

Sundew managed to hold on longer than most, but after 9.56 seconds, she too was out screeching too. (Snudoo just couldn't do-do the painlessness.)

Turtle was doing quite well actually; though he was grunting and scrunching up his face real hard like he was dealing with some sort of morbid constipation, not a single scream erupted his throat. Jambu checked the pain meter. Well, Turtle was certainly in pain, but it wasn't because of any eggs, it seemed he was simply straining himself much too hard.

Queen Glory made it almost 15 brutal seconds before she too succumbed to screaming, loud and undignified, and now the only competitor not really screaming was Turtle. The competition was over, but the Egg Laying was not. So the next 15 minutes the tortured screams of laying dragons radiated from the arena, not a single competent not screaming their lungs out and wishing they were dead. While all the other dragons screamed bloody murder around him, Turtle just continued grunting and scrunching his face up. No luck on his egg.

In the audience, it was admittedly sort of much to see their favorite shipmates struggling as such. Fortunately, Starflight was blind, so he couldn't see Fatespeaker out there struggling so, as her screams were drowned out by everyone else's. But he could hear Sunny's, everybody could, and that was very troubling. Nobody wanted to be Sunny at that moment, not even Sunny wanted to be Sunny at that moment. Sadly, she was.

Finally the screaming stopped and the eggs were laid. Oh, the pain was over, but dragons all around were still recovering from the epic effort. The only one who hadn't succeeded in laying an egg was Turtle, who was still struggling with his "constipation". Sadly, because of this, he had to forfeit his reward to Queen Glory of the RainWings who had lasted a whole 14.87 seconds without screaming. Peril probably laid some egg too, but she had burnt it to a crisp while laying, and all that laid beside her hiney to show for it was a bunch of charcoal.

"Oh man!" Peril grumbled, pounding the ground with her fiery hot talons.

So, the game over, Glory accepted her medal with pride.

Meanwhile, the current spot of loudest scream was held by Sunny, while most painful egg was held by Cricket. Let's see if they can hold those scores throughout the rest of the games.

"That was fun!" Kinkajou said, "I can't wait for the next one!"

"Hopefully next time's not as painful," Sunny shuddered.

"Oh, it's going to be painful" Fatespeaker predicted ominously, "I have foreseen it."

"YIPPEE!" Shouted Kinkajou!

All the other dragons in Pyrrhia moaned in unison.
