Sunset had just started the ninth episode.

Yami: En el capitulo anterior... (Previously on the Yu-Gi-Oh...)

The girls became surprised with widened eyes.

The Rainbooms: Huh?

The girls glanced at each other.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, was that like Spanish or something?

Sunset: It sure was. But the caption's all wrong. He actually said, "In the previous episode..."

Twilight: Wow, Sunset! I didn't know you speak Spanish.

Sunset sheepishly rubbed her head and blushed with embarrassment.

Sunset: Well, I don't exactly "speak" Spanish. I just understand the language.

Sunset crossed her arms and slightly looked away.

Sunset: My Spanish-speaking's... too rusty anyway.

Pinkie Pie: At least we'll know what they'll be saying.

They went back to watching the show, where there was a noise in the bushes.

Tea: Ahh!

Joey: Que fue eso? (What is this new devilry?)

Rarity: Huh. That sounded rather short for such a long subtitle.

Sunset: I guess this is a new thing LittleKuriboh has up his sleeve. He's putting in incorrect subtitles.

Applejack: That makes waaay too much sense now.

Rainbow Dash: So what did Joey say for real, Sunset?

Sunset: He said, "What was that?"

Rainbow Dash: Ah! Gotcha!

Bakura came out of the bushes.

Yugi: Es Bakura! (Behold, it is the Bakura.)

Rainbow Dash: It is "the" Bakura?

Fluttershy: That doesn't make any sense at all.

Twilight: I don't understand Spanish as well as Sunset Shimmer, but even I know for a fact that Yugi said, "It's Bakura!"

Sunset: That's right, Twilight.

Joey: Por un momento pensamos que debiamos preocuparnos. (Hereupon, my fears are alleviated.)

Sunset: "For a moment there, I thought we should be worried."

Rarity: Worried about what, darling?

Sunset: Oh, nothing. I was just translating what Joey just said.

The Rainbooms: Oooohhh!

Bakura: Antes de empezar, hay algo que quiero compartir con ustedes. (Bakura has been permitted the friendship.)

The girls all giggled in a cute way.

Sunset: "Before we get started, there's something I'd like to share with you all."

Yugi: No puede ser! Un Articulo del Milenio? (You have a Millennium Item unexpectedly!)

Sunset: "It can't be! A Millennium Item?"

Applejack: Well... it was kinda close.

Yami Bakura: Si, y la magia de mi Sortija del Milenio nos llevara al Reino de las Sombras. (Indeed, and with its powers I make my voice sound gruff and sexy.)

The girls giggled again, only this time, Rarity blushed since the word "sexy" was on the screen.

Sunset: No, it doesn't. It takes you to the Shadow Realm.

Joey: Vaya, detesto la magia. (Poor weather conditions?)

Sunset widened her eyes.

Sunset: Well, that's quite a shocker!

Pinkie Pie: Why? What did he say?

Sunset: Joey says he hates magic.

The girls gasped.

Fluttershy: Oh my! What an awful strong thing to say!

Rainbow Dash: If he were real, I'd totally do anything to change his mind.

Twilight: To be fair, not everybody has to like magic. You can't just force somebody into liking something.

Rainbow deadpanned, sighed, and shrugged.

Rainbow Dash: Fair enough.

Yugi: Por que haces esto, Bakura? No entiendo. (This is an unfortunate turn of events!)

Sunset: Okay, now Yugi's asking Bakura why he's doing this.

Yami Bakura: Tienes algo que yo deseo, Yugi, y pienso quitartelo. (Yes.)

The girls started laughing.

Applejack: Hehehe.

AJ wiped a tear from her eye.

Applejack: Ah think we all know that is just way too long for one simple "Yes."

Rarity: Indeed.

Sunset: Got that right. The real translation is, "You have something I want, Yugi, and I aim to take it."

In the show, Yugi and his pals fainted.

Yami Bakura: El Legendario Rompecabezas del Milenio es mio! (All your puzzle are belong to me.)

Twilight: All your puzzle are belong to- Okay, this is just so much bad grammar.

Sunset happily shook her head with a sigh.

Sunset: "The Legendary Millennium Puzzle is mine!"

The Millennium Puzzle started glowing when Yami Bakura reached for it.

Yami Bakura: (Do not want!)

The Rainbooms: Huh?

Pinkie Pie: But that was just a grunt! Nobody really said anything.

Sunset: Exactly, Pinkie Pie! LittleKuriboh's totally doing this on purpose. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Yami Bakura: No puede ser! (Oh no! Growth hormones!)

The girls started cracking up.

Sunset: "It can't be!"

Yami: Si lo que quieres es mi Rompecabezas del Milenio, entonces tendras que pelear conmigo. (How dare you tamper with my jewelry, villainous cur!)

Rarity: Villainous cur? Hm, never heard that before.

Rainbow Dash: Sunset?

Sunset: "If what you want is my Millennium Puzzle, then you're going to have to Duel me."

Yami Bakura: Hay mucho mas en riesgo de lo que imaginas, y este es un Juego de las Sombras que no puedes ganar. (The card game of us commences.) (Right after these words from our sponsor.)

Pinkie Pie: ...sponsor.

The girls laughed once again while the title sequence plays.

"Kawaitaaa"

"Sakebigaaa"

"Todoke"

"Fly at higher gaaaaaame"

They ceased the laughter once the theme music was over.

Sunset: And the last one said, "There is much more at stake here than you comprehend, and this is one Shadow Game you cannot win." Guess we'll see about that, won't we?

They turned back to the show.

Yami Bakura: Once I gain all seven Millennium Items, I shall use their vaguely established powers to destroy the world! But first, I'm going to beat you in a card game.

Yami: Not if I can help it, you albino cream puff!

The girls chuckled.

Rainbow Dash: Albino cream puff?

Rarity: My, that's a new one!

Pinkie Pie took out her phone.

Pinkie Pie: Note to self: Remember to make cream puffs... minus the albino part.

She put her phone away and went back to watching the show.

Yami: I summon the Cyber Commander, which by the way is Tristan's favorite monster, even though he never actually plays this game.

Tristan is summoned as the Cyber Commander.

Tristan: I'm surprisingly buff!

Rainbow Dash had just finished a cup of soda.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, not by enough.

Pinkie awwed in disappointment.

Pinkie Pie: I was hoping for the original voice to come back.

With a little smile, Twilight gave Pinkie Pie a little pat on the back.

Yami: By the Gods! That's exactly what I want to look like!

The girls chuckled after that.

Yami Bakura: White Magical Hat! Send his Cyber Commander to the Graveyard!

White Magical Hat attacked and destroyed Tristan with one punch.

Yami: No! Tristan! He was the finest mind of his generation! I summon the Flame Swordsman! A.k.a. Joey's favorite monster.

Joey was summoned as the Flame Swordsman.

Joey: Uh-oh! Have I been cross-dressing in my sleep again?

The Rainbooms laughed again.

Applejack: Cross-dressin'? Hehe.

Twilight: Haha! I swear...

She wiped a tear from under her glasses.

Twilight: ...this show's getting better and better. Heh.

Yami: It seems that Bakura has somehow placed our souls within each of our favorite cards. Either that, or he's turned you all into cosplayers.

Joey: That bastard!

The girls except Fluttershy giggled after that statement.

Fluttershy: Um, you girls don't really have anything against cosplaying, do you?

Rarity: Oh hohoho no, darling! Of course not. We absolutely adore cosplaying, especially when I've been given the chance to make such fabulous anime outfits.

They chatted in agreement.

Rainbow Dash: Eh, cosplaying's okay with me too, I guess. Why do you ask, Fluttershy?

Fluttershy happily thought about cosplaying as Sailor Moon, Dark Magician Girl, and Froppy.

Fluttershy: Hmm, no reason.

The girls shrugged before turning back to the TV.

Yami: By the way, Tristan's dead.

Joey: Oh, not again!

Yami: I also summon the Dark Magician!

Yugi was summoned as the Dark Magician.

Yugi: I look slightly more ridiculous than usual!

Once again, the girls except Fluttershy laughed.

Fluttershy: (Thought) I think he looks adorable as the Dark Magician.

Fluttershy blushed and lightly giggled.

Yami: And now I activate Reborn the Monster...

*Monster Reborn

Yami: ...in order to resurrect Tristan's original voice!

Pinkie Pie happily gasped.

Rainbow Dash: Say what now?

Tristan: Hey, what gives?

Pinkie Pie cheered while her friends were laughing it up.

Tristan: I liked my new voice.

Pinkie's friends wiped tears from their eyes.

Tristan: People were starting to take me seriously.

Yami: Sorry, Tristan, but it's much easier to make fun of you this way.

Sunset and Rainbow Dash: You can say that again.

Joey: Wait a second. Why are there two Yugi's?

Yugi: I'm not sure, but sometimes when I'm dueling, it's like I can feel a powerful voice inside my head telling me how to win.

Tristan: Does that mean you've been cheating?

The Rainbooms: Cheating?!

Yugi: Well, it's more complicated than that.

Joey: Sounds like cheatin' to me, Yug.

Applejack: Huh. You know, I never really thought about it that way before.

Sunset: Me neither.

Rainbow Dash: Now that you mention it, they are two souls in one body, right? It kinda gives them an unfair advantage against their opponent. For all we know, they probably give each other advice while leaving their opponent in the dark.

Twilight: Uh... I don't know, Rainbow Dash. The way I see it, it's more like Yami doing all the dueling while the real Yugi takes all the credit.

Rarity: That is an excellent point right there, Twilight... but I'm afraid I'm with Rainbow Dash. I think it is cheating.

Pinkie Pie: Definitely cheating!

Yugi: It's not cheating! It's more like we have a spiritual connection that goes far beyond any-

Joey: Hey, Big Yugi! Has Little Yugi been cheatin' this whole time?

As soon as Yami nodded, the girls burst out laughing like crazy. Fluttershy, Sunset, and Rarity held their stomachs while Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Applejack rolled on the floor.

Yugi: Oh, you guys can all just go straight to Hell.

Rainbow Dash wiped a tear from her eye.

Rainbow Dash: If that wasn't such a bad thing, it'd be totally worth it.

Yami: Now I'll place Tea in face-down position.

Tea was set face down as the Magician of Faith.

Yami: I've always wanted to say that.

Fluttershy, Sunset, Rarity, and Twilight's faces turned a little red while the other three girls laughed it up. Still blushing, the four girls laughed nervously. Rarity even fanned her face with her hand.

Rarity: Whoo! Is it getting a little hot in here?

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I'll handle this.

She got up, walked up to the thermostat, and turned the temperature down.

Rainbow Dash: There we go.

She sat back down next to Pinkie Pie.

Tea: This is just like something out of a bad fanfic!

Yugi: (Thought) If only she'd picked the Dark Magician Girl! Mmmm, Dark Magician Girl...

The Rainbooms were completely frozen after Yugi's line.

Sunset: Wow! Just... wow!

Yami Bakura: Good luck overcoming my Man-Eater Bug.

He sets Man-Eater Bug face down.

Yugi: One of us has to sacrifice themselves in order to kill that monster! I nominate Tristan.

Tea: Seconded.

The girls giggled.

Joey: Don't worry, Tristan. I always wanted to die wearing a dress.

He disappears with Man-Eater Bug.

Joey: I regret nothing!

The girls laughed at that.

Sunset: At least his dream came true.

Yami Bakura: Soon, I'll be the only character left. I've always wanted my own cartoon. I think I'll call it... "Zorc and Pals."

The Rainbooms: Zorc and Pals?!

"Who's that crazy kook destroyin' the world?"

"It's Zorc"

Zorc: "That's me"

"It's Zorc & Pals"

Yami Bakura: Zorc, did you forget our anniversary? Again?

A laugh track played in the background.

Zorc: Yes, I was too busy destroying the world.

Another laugh track played.

Zorc: I've slaughtered millions!

A third one played as well.

Yami Bakura: That's my Zorc!

"The blood of the innocent will flow without end"

"His name is Zorc and he's destroyin' the world"

The Rainbooms didn't say a word. They kept shocking expressions on their faces while letting what they just saw sink into their minds. They were so shocked, Rainbow Dash even let popcorn fall out of her hand just as she was about to munch on them.

Yami Bakura: What do you think, Pharaoh?

Yami: I think you'll be taken off the air faster than you can say "Arrested Development!"

Sunset: I have no problem with that whatsoever.

Applejack: Same here.

While the girls agreed, Fluttershy took a deep breath to stay calm, even if she'll remember Zorc.

Tea: That was my favorite show.

Tea released a tear.

Tea: Why did they have to cancel it?

Yugi: Tea's tears activated her special ability, making her attack and defense points look completely inaccurate!

Yami: Yes, and it also allows me to recycle Reborn the Monster!

*Still Monster Reborn

Joey: Please don't kill me!

The Reaper of the Cards swung his scythe just as Joey disappeared.

Joey: I have three best friends! Kill them instead!

The girls stared at the screen.

Rainbow Dash: Okay, these guys really need more friendship lessons.

Twilight: Ditto.

Yugi: It's okay, Joey. My alter-ego brought you back to life with a Spell Card.

Tristan: Just like our Lord Jesus.

The Rainbooms giggled while Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes with a smile.

Yami Bakura: How many times do I have to kill you people before you stay dead?

He reveals the Change of Heart card.

Yugi: The Change of Heart! That's Bakura's favorite card!

Yami Bakura: Yes. And with it, I'm going to turn you into a villain. That way, you'll know what it's like to have your plans foiled time after time by a group of card-game-obsessed morons!

Sunset: Card-game-obsessed morons?

The girls chuckled.

Yugi: Look, it's the real Bakura!

Bakura possesses the Lady of Faith's body.

Bakura: I've taken control of this woman's body in order to save you guys. And I don't mind telling you, it feels bloody great!

The Rainbooms: Huuuuh?!

Yami Bakura: By the Gods! That's exactly what I want to look like!

The Rainbooms: Huuuuuuuuh?!

Rainbow Dash: We really don't wanna see that.

Yami: Conveniently, my Millennium Puzzle allows me to put souls back into their original bodies.

Rainbow Dash: COME ON! I said we "don't" wanna see that.

Applejack: Nice goin', Rainbow! Ya jinxed it!

Rainbow facepalmed.

Yami Bakura: How dare you defy me? Just wait until Zorc hears about this.

Fluttershy whimpered softly so that her friends couldn't hear her.

Yami: FINISH HIM!

Rainbow Dash and Applejack gasped.

Yugi: Super Special Awesome Attack!

The two girls cheered and laughed, making Fluttershy feel better and happy.

Yami Bakura: Oh, bugger me!

Yami Bakura was sent to the graveyard.

Yami Bakura: I shall be a main character! Even if it takes me another two hundred bloody episodes.

The Rainbooms had a good laugh after that.

Pinkie Pie: I doubt it'll take that many episodes.

Bakura: I say, that plot line made a lot more sense in the original manga.

Yugi: Where did you get your evil ring from, Bakura?

Bakura: My father bought it while he was in Egypt looking to purchase some blue hair dye.

The Rainbooms chuckled.

Rarity: Going all the way to Egypt for hair dye? Ha! That sounds rather silly, don't you agree?

Joey: Man, I had the most unbelievable dream. There were two Yugi's, and Bakura was a main character!

Tea: I usually enjoy dreams that involve two Yugi's, but that one was very disappointing.

A record scratch sound occurred when the girls became stunned by that sentence.

Twilight: Um... okay?

Mai: My breasts are in danger!

Fluttershy gasped.

Fluttershy: That's Mai!

Yugi: Hey, that sounds like the plot for the next episode! Come on gang...

The screen freeze-frames as Yugi and his friends run off.

Yugi: ...let's go find out what is is!

Tristan: Oh no! The animation budget ran out!

The girls had one last laugh.

"Who's that crazy kook destroyin' the world?"

"It's Zorc"

[sorry about that delay]

Zorc: "That's me"

"It's Zorc & Pals"

After hearing that, the girls remembered the Zorc and Pals show from earlier.

Pinkie Pie: If that ever becomes a show, I wouldn't watch it... no matter how catchy the theme song is.

Kaiba: TROGDOOOOOOOR! TROGDOOOOOOOR!

The episode ended right there and the girls giggled.

Applejack: Hoowee! That was some episode, right?

The other girls nodded in agreement. Rainbow checked the popcorn bowl and realized it was empty.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, Sunset? We're out of popcorn here.

Sunset shrugged.

Sunset: No problem. I'll just go pop another bag.

Sunset stood up from the couch, picked up the bowl, and started walking out. When she was a few feet away from Rainbow Dash, Sunset froze all of a sudden.

Sunset: Uh-oh!

Everyone turned to Sunset.

Sunset: Um, guys? I can't move.

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow while the others widened their eyes.

Rainbow Dash: What do you mean you can't move?

Sunset: I mean I can't move at all. It's like my body's frozen or something.

The Rainbooms: What?!

Worried, Twilight stood up off the floor.

Twilight: What's wrong, Sunset? Why can't you move?

Sunset's face showed fear until she smiled.

Sunset: Because my animation budget ran out!

The next second, Sunset started laughing hysterically. Her friends saw what she did there and laughed with her.

Sunset: I gotcha! Hahaha!

Twilight pointed at Sunset.

Twilight: Yoooouu! Hahaha!

Sunset wiped a tear from her eye as the laughing stopped.

Sunset: Okay, okay. Hehe. I'll be right back.

And with that, Sunset left the room to go make some more popcorn.
