On Wednesday, in the afternoon, the Rainbooms were rehearsing in their band room.
"Yeah, we're the Wondercolts forever"
"Ah-oh, yeah"
The scene cuts to the inside of the band room.
"We are all together"
"Ah, ah, oh-oh-oh-oh"
They nod their heads as they play.
"Now it's better than ever"
"Ah, ah, oh-oh-oh-oh"
"Now that we are back on track"
"Yes, I'm so glad that we're better"
"Better than ever"
"Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh"
"Oh yeah, we're better than ever"
"Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh"
"Oh yeah, we're better than ever"
"Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh"
They stopped playing their instruments.
"Oh yeah, we're better than ever"
The girls applaud for themselves as their pony wings and ears disappeared. Rainbow Dash leaned her guitar against the piano.
Rainbow Dash: Nice job, girls! We totally are better than ever!
Sunset giggled.
Sunset: You can say that again, Rainbow Dash.
Rarity leaned her keytar against Pinkie Pie's drums.
Rarity: That performance was quite fascinating, darlings. I believe we should reward ourselves for such a success.
Rainbow Dash: Aww yeah! You girls thinking what I'm thinking?
Everybody turned to Pinkie Pie, who was sitting on the steps and typing on her laptop.
Pinkie Pie: I know exactly what you're all thinking. I'm waaaay ahead of-
Not even half a second later and Pinkie Pie's bandmates all rushed over and sat on the steps with her. Pinkie Pie looked at each of her friends and looked shock as she couldn't believe how fast her friends were.
Pinkie Pie: You.
Inside the gymnasium, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were sneaking their way under the bleachers.
Sweetie Belle: Ugh! Girls, do we really have to watch the next episode under the bleachers? It's so unsanitary.
The girls stopped in the middle of the bleachers while Scootaloo pulled out her phone.
Scootaloo: You tell me. It was either this, the cafeteria where there's so many witnesses, or the janitor's closet where we could, I dunno, get easily caught by the janitor? Again.
Apple Bloom: Yeah!
Apple Bloom sniffed the air.
Apple Bloom: And aside from the bad smell...
With a disgusted face, Apple Bloom lifted her right leg up.
Apple Bloom: ...and some sticky soda on the floor...
She put her leg down and shrugged.
Apple Bloom: ...it's not all that bad.
Sweetie Belle sighed in defeat.
Sweetie Belle: Fine. Let's just get this over with, 'cause I really don't wanna be under here any longer than I have to.
After Scootaloo and Apple Bloom nodded with smiles, Scootaloo started searching for the next episode on her phone.
Narrator: Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
At Twilight's house, Spike was pushing a chair to the desk with Twilight's computer. Spike happily sighed in relief before hopping into the chair.
Spike: Now that Twilight's outta the house...
He began searching the computer for the next episode.
Spike: ...I can finally get back to my show.
At the same time, Spike, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the Rainbooms started episode seven. When the episode started, the Rainbooms and the Crusaders were taken back a little bit by the piano music of "The Lonely Man" from The Incredible Hulk. Spike, on the other hand, looked confused with a tilted head.
Yami: Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh!...
Tea: Yugi, I think I'm pregnant, and Yami's the father!
The reactors all looked surprised with widened eyes. While everyone else had dropped jaws, Rarity and Fluttershy covered their mouths with both hands.
Twilight: What... was that?!
Fluttershy shook her head.
Fluttershy: That's not what happened.
Joey: Tristan, don't leave me!
Tristan: I'm sorry, Joey. It's just not working out between us.
Joey: But I love you!
The Rainbooms felt disgusted while the Crusaders looked surprised.
Apple Bloom: What in tarnation is goin' on here?
At Twilight's house, Spike was looking dizzy while holding his tummy.
Spike: Ugh. I think I'm gonna be sick.
Tea: Yugi, I think I'm pregnant, and Weevil's the father!
Spike covered his mouth with his paw.
Spike: Oh man. I've gotta open a window.
While Spike went to go open a window, the other reactors shrieked and shivered.
Rainbow Dash: Do we really need that visual? Cuz I vote "no".
Yugi: Grandpa! So you're the one who shot Tristan!
Solomon: Yes, it was I!
Fluttershy gasped.
Fluttershy: That's not what happened either. No one elderly would ever do such an awful thing!
Pinkie Pie shook her fist into the air.
Pinkie Pie: Curse you, LittleKuriboh! Why are you torturing us?!
Tea: Yugi, I think I'm pregnant, and Bakura's the-
Yugi: No (Bleep)ing way!
With widened eyes and dropped jaws, everybody stared at their screens.
Tea: Okay, I lied about that one.
Applejack: Ah'm pretty sure the other ones are lies too. All of 'em are.
Ghost Kaiba: This time, Yugi, you don't stand a "ghost" of a chance!
Scootaloo: Well, at least they got that part right.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement.
Tristan: Yugi, I think I'm pregnant, and you're the father!
Spike covered his mouth.
Spike: Oh, come on!
While Spike went to the window again, the others were starting to freak out. Rarity and Sunset were at the point to where they were about to rip their hair off of their heads.
Sunset: When is this going to end?
Rarity: This... was not the reward... I WAS EXPECTING!
Yami: And now, the thrilling conclusion!
The screen went black.
Yami: Wait a minute, did any of that stuff actually happen?
All: NO!
Everybody took a breather while the title sequence played.
"Kawaitaaa"
"Sakebigaaa"
"Todoke"
"Fly at higher gaaaaaame"
Rarity and Sunset even fixed their hair. While dizzy, Spike was making his way to the chair. The Crusaders kinda took it better than everyone else.
Sweetie Belle: That... was one of the most... weirdest opening scenes I have ever saw.
Scootaloo: Same here.
Apple Bloom: Ah just hope there aren't gonna be more... awkwardness.
After the three nodded and everyone else calmed down, our fellow reactors continued the episode.
Kemo: Attention, Duelists! My hair has abducted this small child! If you want me to release him, you must first defeat Seto Kaiba's ghost in a duel.
Yami: Are you trying to tell me that Kaiba came back from the dead just to play a card game with me?
Kemo: Yes!
Yami: Either this is a trick, or this show is even dumber than I thought.
Spike slammed his paws on the desktop.
Spike: It was dumb to show me that opening scene to begin with.
Ghost Kaiba: It's true, Yugi. I've returned from the dead in order to defeat you.
Ghost Kaiba's scary appearance was starting to get to Fluttershy. She had a bad feeling about him.
Ghost Kaiba: My desire for vengeance was so strong that even Hell itself could not hope to contain my-
Yami: Okay, time out! Does anybody here actually believe for even one second that this guy is a ghost?
Tristan: I do!
Yami: Anyone besides Tristan?
Tristan: I do!
Everybody laughed and seemed to have gotten over the opening scene already.
Scootaloo: It's official. Anyone with a voice like that... is a complete idiot.
The Crusaders giggled.
Ghost Kaiba: What's your point?
Yami: My point is you're not a ghost. No eff-ing way.
Everyone chuckled while Fluttershy perked up.
Fluttershy: At least it's funnier than the actual word... and the bleep sound.
Ghost Kaiba: Then explain how I have this! The Hitotsu-Me Giant!
The Hitotsu-Me Giant was summoned to the field.
Yami: (Sarcasm) Oh. You're right. That definitely proves it.
The reactors all had a good laugh after Yami's sarcasm.
Rainbow Dash: That's exactly what I would've said. Hehehe.
Ghost Kaiba: Look, I'm a ghost, okay? Quit being such a jerk.
Yami: If you're a ghost, then I'm straight.
Everyone looked surprised and blinked while a record player scratch sound occurred.
Scootaloo: Wow! I did not see that coming.
Apple Bloom: Neither did I.
Sweetie Belle: Apparently, we won't see anything coming in this show.
Kaiba: Now that Pegasus thinks I'm dead, I can work on redeeming my character in the eyes of the fans. Wait a minute. How the Hell did I climb up the side of a cliff while holding a briefcase? And for that matter, how the Hell did I get here?
Twilight perked up.
Twilight: The first one's a good question. I have no idea how Kaiba was able to do that.
Sunset: Anime, Twilight.
Twilight: Suddenly, it all makes perfect sense now.
The Rainbooms giggled.
Kaiba: Into the Kaiba Cave!
All: The Kaiba Cave?
Batman theme music was playing as Kaiba enters his "Kaiba Cave" and everyone chuckling.
Twilight: I can't! I can't! Ahehehe!
Twilight calmed down before continuing the episode.
Computer: Hi there, Kaiba! I'm your inappropriately-voiced computer system.
Kaiba: Wait a second. Do you mean I have to spend the entire episode talking to a machine?
Computer: It's like looking in a mirror, isn't it?
Everyone started cracking up. Rarity and Applejack wiped tears from their eyes.
Sunset: Who in their right mind would compare someone to a machine?
Rainbow Dash: I know, right?
Secretly, Rainbow Dash was thinking of comparing Pinkie Pie's sister, Maud, to a machine. Pinkie Pie was getting suspicious with a raised eyebrow.
Pinkie Pie: Rainbow Daaash? What're you thinkiiiing?
Rainbow snapped out of thought and quickly looked side to side.
Rainbow Dash: Uh, nothing. Nothing.
She clicked play.
Kaiba: Using my leet haxzor skills, I'm going to bring down one of Pegasus's satellites so that I can gain access to his computer systems. Hooray for cyber-terrorism!
Frightened a little bit, Spike backed himself away in the chair to avoid any possible hackers.
Applejack: Alright y'all, we could say "Hooray" for censorship...
Apple Bloom: ...but there's no way we're sayin' "Hooray" for... that!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Computer: It looks like you're just pressing the same keys over and over again.
Kaiba: That's because I learned how to hack by watching old episodes of Star Trek.
Rainbow Dash: (Sarcasm) Oh. You're right. That's definitely what hacking looks like.
The Rainbooms giggled after that.
Computer: Since I'm such an advanced computer, I can make Pegasus's computer systems look like a really boring video game.
Twilight giggled.
Twilight: Advance? Boring?
She shook her head.
Twilight: I'm gonna have to disagree.
A blue screen appeared on Kaiba's computer.
Kaiba: Ahh! The blue screen of death! My mortal enemy.
The reactors started laughing again. It was so laughable, Spike moved up again and ignored the possible hackers.
Ghost Kaiba: You don't stand a ghost of a chance, Yugi, because this time I'm-
Yami: How many times are you going to use that line?
[honestly, they use that pun way too much. here, I'll prove it...]
Pinkie Pie: Really? They've used that line a lot before?
Her bandmates shrugged.
Spike: Eh. I'm sure they don't use it "that" much.
The Crusaders looked confused.
Sweetie Belle: You girls really think they used that line too much?
Scootaloo shrugged.
Apple Bloom: Well Sweetie Belle, it's a possibility.
They all continued the episode.
Ghost Kaiba: It's me, Kaiba. And this time, you don't stand a "ghost" of a chance!
Kemo: Yugi, you don't have a ghost of a chance beating Kaiba because this time, he is a ghost!
As soon as everybody saw Bonz's face, they all shrieked and held each other. With nobody with him, Spike hugged the chair's armrest.
Bonz: I'm afraid you don't stand a ghost of a chance in a duel against me!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
where bad puns go to die
(Bonz cameo FTW!)
Everyone paused the episode.
Fluttershy: That was so... scary.
Rainbow Dash: I know. What was up with his face?
Rarity: I am so having nightmares tonight.
Under the bleachers, the Crusaders were still shaking.
Sweetie Belle: First the opening scene and now this? What's next? An out of shape guy doing jumping jacks?
Apple Bloom: What in name of talkin' ponies happened to his face?
Scootaloo: I don't know. He looked like he was half human and... half zombie or something.
Back with Spike, he seemed to calm down a little after letting the chair's armrest. He then let out a sigh.
Spike: This episode... could not get any more disturbing.
They all clicked play.
Ghost Kaiba: Whoooo-oooo! I'm a ghost! Whoo-
Ghost Kaiba was giving Fluttershy the shivers.
Yami: Oh, stop it! You're not fooling anyone.
Tristan: It's a ghost!
Yami: Tristan doesn't count.
They all let out a little chuckle while still trying to relax.
Mokuba: That's not my brother! Everyone says he's a bad person, but it's not true.
Yami: He stole my grandfather's favorite card, put him in the hospital, and then left you at the mercy of his enemies. Face it kid, your brother's a giant prick!
This time, everyone gave a really loud laugh and seemed to be fully relaxed for the moment.
Kaiba: Even though I'm his archrival, I'm going to use this virus to help Yugi win. Finally, being a rich nerd pays off.
Computer: You really do need to get laid.
Once again, the Rainbooms looked surprised while another record player scratching sound occurred. Then soon enough, they laughed along with the other reactors.
Twilight: Computers never lie, I suppose.
Yami: Aha! See? You're not a ghost at all!
Everyone screamed and felt disgusted by Ghost Kaiba's transformation. At home, Spike facepalmed.
Spike: Aaaand it just got more disturbing.
Yami: You're some kind of... gay clown, apparently.
Tea: Eww! It's slightly more repulsive than regular clowns!
Rarity: I one hundred percent agree with that statement. That "thing" is quite repulsive.
Sweetie Belle: I don't think I'll ever look at clowns the same way again.
Ghost Kaiba: Actually, I'm not a clown. I'm Seto Kaiba's evil side brought back from the Shadow Realm by Pegasus-
Yami: That's even less believable than the whole ghost story! You don't even know what you are, do you?
Ghost Kaiba: No.
Yami: Didn't think so. MIND CRUSH!
Yami Yugi Mind Crushes Ghost Kaiba.
Yami: Did I just kill a gay clown?
Scootaloo: Yes, Yugi. Yes, you did.
Rarity: Mhmhmhm. I'm not quite into killing, but I'm so glad that repulsive creature is out of the way.
They muttered and nodded in agreement, even Fluttershy.
Tristan: That ghost didn't scare me, even if I did just sh(Bleep) my pants.
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, the Crusaders, and Spike were the only ones laughing. The others were frozen.
Sunset: Okay... too much information there.
Yami: He didn't stand a "ghost" of a chance!
While Yugi's friends were laughing, the reactors laughed in a mocking tone.
All: Ha! Ha! Ha!
After they were done mocking Yami's line, they giggled for real.
Joey: Hey, what happened to Mokuba?
Yami: Who cares?
Fluttershy looked surprised.
Fluttershy: Well, that wasn't very nice at all.
The title of the show appeared as the Batman theme played.
[i think i'm pregnant...]
Everyone else groaned while Fluttershy stared at the screen and Spike fainted out of the chair.
Rainbow Dash: COME ON! I thought we were done with that.
Rainbow Dash sighed just before a Post-Credits scene played.
Tristan: Bite my shiny metal ass!
Everyone perked up while Spike quickly jumped back into the chair.
Joey: It doesn't look so shiny to me.
Tristan: Shinier than yours, meatbag.
Everyone giggled.
Sunset: Futurama? Really?
The laughing was interrupted by Yami Bakura appearing on screen.
his time is at hand...
(we're all going to die)
Spike quickly exited the internet.
Spike: That does it. I'm taking a break from this show for a while.
Spike jumped out of the chair.
Sweetie Belle: Out of all the episodes we've seen so far, this one just had to be the one I didn't like very much.
Apple Bloom: Come on, Sweetie Belle. I'm sure there was some funny moments you musta liked.
Sweetie Belle: I hated the disturbing parts more than I liked the funny parts.
Apple Bloom: Don't cha think you're overreacting just a little bit?
Sweetie Belle: Overreacting? We snuck under the bleachers, watched a crazy opening scene, nearly got scared to death by a scary face, saw a disgusting clown man transform...
The school bell rung.
Scootaloo: Aaaand now we missed lunch.
The girls groaned in disappointment. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie slowly closed her laptop and she and the Rainbooms were speechless.
Pinkie Pie: Wow!
Rarity looked away.
Rarity: Yes.
Sunset: That was, eh... some interesting episode we just watched.
Applejack: Eeyup.
Twilight: I'm afraid of what's going to happen next. And it seems Bakura's going to be in the next one too.
Rarity secretly looked surprised.
Rarity: (Thought) Yes. Just the character I have been waiting for.
Fluttershy: I just hope the next episode will be less... disturbing than this one.
Sunset: No matter what'll happen, we just gotta be strong... and remember not to take this show too seriously.
The girls exchanged some looks before Applejack smiled.
Applejack: Sunset's right. We can still get through this together. Right?
They chatted in agreement.
Sunset: Good. Now... what do you say we watch a couple more episodes at my place tonight?
The girls agreed before Rainbow Dash sighed in relief while she stood up.
Rainbow Dash: Sounds great. Look, I don't know about you girls, but I'm gonna go play some soccer after school just to get... "that" out of my head.
Zephyr: What's up, Rainbow to-the-max Dash?
Rainbow widened her eyes before turning her attention to the door, and there "he" was. Fluttershy's little brother, Zephyr Breeze, who was checking his nails.
Zephyr: I couldn't help but overhear you planning some soccer practice after school.
He leaned his back against the door.
Zephyr: Mind if I-
Rainbow Dash: I instantly have other plans which I will make up later. Bye.
Using her super speed, Rainbow Dash fled from the band room.
Zephyr: Uh... okay. That's cool. I don't...
He began walking away.
Zephyr: ...care anyway.
The girls laughed while Fluttershy covered her face in embarrassment.
