dragonborn39: Apology accepted!
acaacko2000: Don't worry, buddy. It's here.
It was Saturday night and Twilight was freshening up. She was in her room fixing her hair in front of a mirror while Fluttershy and Spike sat on her bed. Spike was fast asleep.
Twilight: Oh, I am so excited for another, uh... "hang-out" with Timber Spruce. First, we're gonna have a "friendly" meal at a local Diner, where we will both watch the first episode of season two of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. Then, we're gonna explore at the Aquarium and watch season two's second episode. And finally, we'll sit on the steps and watch the night sky... before watching season two's third episode.
Spike yawned in his sleep.
Fluttershy: That all sounds lovely, Twilight! Are you sure this isn't a "date" this time?
Twilight: I am absolutely 100% sure it is not a date. Just another average friendly hang-out. That's all.
Twilight placed a video tablet inside her backpack.
Twilight: You sure you girls will be okay without me?
Fluttershy stood up and nodded.
Fluttershy: Oh yes. We just want you to be happy on your "hang-out" with Timber Spruce.
Twilight: Thanks.
She placed her backpack on.
Twilight: Well, I'm off... to my hang-out... with Timber Spruce... who is a boy.
Fluttershy smirked while Twilight laughed nervously.
Twilight: Okay, while I'm gone, would you girls mind watching over Spike for me- Oooohhh!
Fluttershy: What is it, Twilight?
Twilight: Uuuhh?
Twilight looked over at Spike, who was still asleep. She then pulled Fluttershy closer to talk quietly and privately.
Twilight: You girls are also gonna watch the show while I'm out, aren't cha?
Fluttershy: That does seems... likely. Why?
Twilight looked down with her arms folded.
Twilight: Well... I don't know how I feel about Spike watching the show.
Spike opened one eye and began listening to their conversation.
Twilight: As a puppy, he could pick up some really bad vibes from it.
Spike gave a smirk.
Spike: (Thought) Sometimes, yes. Most of the time, no.
He closed his eye and pretended to sleep. Meanwhile, Fluttershy was thinking a little bit.
Fluttershy: Hmm. I guess we can put off watching the show until tomorrow.
Twilight placed a smile on her face.
Twilight: Or we can just find someone else to dogsit. That way, everybody wins.
Fluttershy smiled.
Fluttershy: That sounds like a great idea, Twilight!
She shrugged her shoulders.
Fluttershy: But who are you going to get to dogsit Spike for you?
Twilight began thinking.
Twilight: Hmmm...
Narrator: Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
At Scootaloo's house, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were on the couch playing video games.
Scootaloo: Come on. Come on. Almost there. Aaannd...
The Crusaders cheered for themselves after winning the game.
Apple Bloom: Good job, y'all! We won!
Sweetie Belle: That took longer than I thought, but it was all worth it.
Scootaloo: Best three hours well spent. Whoo!
They suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Apple Bloom: Huh? Who's that at the door, Scootaloo?
Scootaloo: It's probably just the Pizza Guy.
She got up off the couch and went to open the door.
Scootaloo: Nope. Just Fluttershy, Twilight, and Spike.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle glanced at each other for a second before going to the door.
Twilight: Hi, girls.
Apple Bloom: Howdy, Twilight! What's goin' on?
Twilight: Well, I have plans tonight, and I was just wondering if you girls wouldn't mind taking care of Spike until tomorrow.
Scootaloo: Uh, sure. No problem. I'm sure my aunts wouldn't mind.
Twilight: Great.
Fluttershy puts Spike down gently, before Spike barked as he ran inside the house.
Twilight: I'll pick up Spike first thing in the morning. Later.
The girls waved goodbye as Twilight left.
Apple Bloom: Bye, Twilight.
Scootaloo: See ya later.
Sweetie Belle: Good luck.
Fluttershy: Have fun, Twilight!
The Crusaders turned to Fluttershy.
Apple Bloom: Another "hang-out" with that Timber Spruce fella?
Fluttershy: Uh-huh!
Sweetie Belle: It's totally gonna turn into a date this time, right?
Fluttershy: Yep!
Narrator: Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
Timber Spruce was standing and waiting in front of the Diner until Twilight ran up to him.
Timber: Hey, Twilight. I'm glad you can make it.
Twilight: Me too, Timber. So... you ready to get your eat on before we head to the Aquarium?
Timber chuckled while rubbing the back of his head.
Timber: Yeah. Sure.
He then opened the door.
Timber: After you, Twilight.
Twilight blushed and gave a big nervous smile.
Twilight: Thank you.
She kept her nervous face as she walked inside the Diner.
Twilight: (Thought) "Get your eat on?" What was I thinking? Oh, that was so lame!
Couple of minutes later, Twilight and Timber were silent as they sat across from each other while enjoying their food.
Twilight: (Thought) Oh, I am so nervous. I wonder what he's thinking about right now.
Timber: (Thought) Wow, I am so nervous. I wonder what she's thinking about right now.
Twilight widened her eyes.
Twilight: (Thought) Oh, that's right. The show!
She nervously stared up at Timber.
Twilight: Soooo... Timber... You've heard of that old anime show Yu-Gi-Oh, right?
Timber swallowed his food.
Timber: Uh, I may have seen a couple of episodes back when I was a kid. Why do you ask?
Twilight: Well...
She pulled out her video tablet.
Twilight: There's this funny guy named Martin Piers Billany, who's best known as LittleKuriboh. He takes old episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, voice the characters, and turns it into an extremely funny parody show. It's called Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series.
Timber: Really? That sounds pretty interesting, Twilight! Is it really that funny?
Twilight: It's hilarious! My friends and I have been watching the show for the past couple of weeks, and we just can't get enough of it.
Twilight then started blushing.
Twilight: So I thought we could watch it together... a-and see if you would like it. What do you say?
Timber smiled.
Timber: I'd say that sounds good to me, Twilight.
Twilight gave another nervous smile.
Twilight: Greeeaat!
She began searching season two's first episode on her tablet.
Twilight: Now I just gotta search the next episode, and...
Twilight looked surprised when Timber sat right next to her.
Timber: Is this okay?
Twilight gave a blushing smile and nodded.
Twilight: Mm-hmm!
Narrator: Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
The rest of the Rainbooms were having a good sleepover at Pinkie's Pie house. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were on the bed playing checkers. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Sunset were taking selfies. And lastly, Pinkie Pie was setting up to watch Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged on the television.
Rainbow Dash: And that's game.
Applejack: What? Again? Augh, now I know you're cheating!
Rainbow Dash: I don't see how you can actually cheat in checkers.
She turned to Pinkie Pie.
Rainbow Dash: So Pinkie Pie, are we all set to watch the show?
Pinkie Pie: Uh-huh!
She wiped a bit of sweat off her forehead.
Pinkie Pie: We're all set.
Sunset: Not all of us.
The girls turned to Sunset.
Pinkie Pie: Huh?
Rarity: What ever do you mean?
Sunset sighed.
Sunset: It just doesn't feel the same without Twilight. I mean... this is our first time watching the show when we're not all together. It feels so different.
Rarity placed a hand on Sunset's shoulder.
Rarity: Don't be so hard on yourself, darling. You know this is not what Twilight would want us to do.
Sunset regained her smile.
Sunset: Yeah, you're right. Thanks.
AJ sat on the floor.
Applejack: Speaking of Twilight, what kind of plans does she have with Timber Spruce this time, Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: Oh! Well, she said they're having a meal at a local Diner, then they are going to the Aquarium, and then they are going to sit on the steps and watch the night sky.
Rarity's eyes sparkled.
Rarity: Ooohh! How romantic!
Rainbow Dash: Wait.
They turned to Rainbow.
Rainbow Dash: She also said it's just another "hang-out", didn't she?
Fluttershy: Well... yes.
Rainbow facepalmed.
Rainbow Dash: I knew it!
AJ sighed and shook her head.
Applejack: Twilight better step up her game. She can't keep goin' on "hang-outs" forever, you know.
Fluttershy: Oh, I almost forgot. She and Timber will also be watching the first three episodes of season two.
Rainbow Dash: Is that so? Well, it's good to know that Twilight won't be missing out on anything.
Pinkie Pie: And neither are we. Now who's ready for season two?
The Rainbooms: We are!
Narrator: Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
Spike was walking along inside the house until he saw the Crusaders in Scootaloo's room. He saw them laughing by the computer and decided to enter the room.
Spike: Hey, girls.
The three girls looked surprised before hiding the computer behind their backs.
Sweetie Belle: Oh! Uh, hi Spike!
While the girls gave nervous smiles on their faces, Spike noticed a bit of the computer screen.
Spike: Are you girls watching Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged?
Apple Bloom puts her hands together and started begging.
Apple Bloom: Please don't tell anybody, Spike.
Spike: Tell somebody? Why is that a bad thing?
Apple Bloom angrily looked away with her arms folded.
Apple Bloom: It's bad because Applejack doesn't think the show's appropriate for someone mah age. And I can see why she would think that.
Sweetie Belle: And I'm sure Rarity thinks the same way about me.
Scootaloo: My aunts would probably freak if they found out I've been watching it too.
Spike: What a coincidence! Twilight doesn't know I watch the show either.
The Crusaders widened their eyes.
Apple Bloom: You're a fan of the show too, Spike?
Spike: Uh-huh.
Scootaloo: Huh. That's explains how he knows the show's title.
Sweetie Belle: And Twilight doesn't know you watch it?
Spike: Nope. Just earlier, she said I might pick up some really bad vibes from it, but I don't care. I just really like the show.
Sweetie Belle: So do we.
Scootaloo: Okay, so... you don't tell anybody, and we won't tell Twilight. Deal?
Spike: Deal.
Apple Bloom: You know, we are still waitin' for our pizza to arrive. And since you like the show as much as we do, how would you like to watch the show with us, Spike?
Spike: I thought you'd never ask.
Narrator: Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
At Lyra's house... or Bon Bon's house... I dunno. Doesn't matter. I don't give a damn. The two girls were sitting on the bed while holding a video tablet with a blanket around them to keep them warm.
Lyra: This is so exciting!
Bon Bon: I know. The first episode of season two. Are you ready?
Lyra nodded.
Lyra: Ready.
Lyra and Bon Bon: Let's do this!
And without further ado, all the reactors started episode 23.
Yami: "Don't cha wish your card games were fun like mine"
While Timber Spruce looked confused, the other reactors giggled.
Bon Bon: He did not just go there.
Lyra: Oh yes, he did!
The two girls giggled some more before moving on.
In Yugi's room, Yugi was equipping his Puzzle with a new chain.
Yugi: (Thought) This chain should help keep my Millennium Puzzle safe from the various villains who are always challenging me to children's card games.
Yami: Hey, gimme some time with that mirror. I need to apply my makeup.
Yugi: God, you are such a slut.
Yami: Yeah? Well... you're really small. Look at you down there! You're like Smally McSmall. ...that's your name.
While everybody else was laughing, Fluttershy smiled and shook her head.
Fluttershy: Yugi's not that small.
Back at the Diner, Timber still looked confused before letting out a chuckle.
Timber: So this is what you and your friends have been watching?
Twilight wiped a tear of joy from her eye.
Twilight: Uh-huh! Sooo you like it so far?
Timber: Yeah, I do. This show's not half bad I guess.
After arguing with his imaginary boyfriend, Yugi met up with Tea outside the shop.
Tea: Hey, Yugi.
Yugi: Hey, Tea. What do you think of my new chain? Pretty pimp, huh?
Tea: Teeheeheeheehee! It makes you look ridiculous!
Yugi: Well, I think it looks sexy.
Tea: You look about as sexy as Mr. T!
The reactors couldn't help but laugh after that one.
Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo: Now that was a good one. "I pity the fool!"
Twilight and Timber had a nice chuckle at the Diner.
Twilight: So you see, LittleKuriboh makes this show funnier by adding references.
Timber: This guy sounds like a genius. Wish I had thought of that.
Yugi: Oh, shut up! Let's just go to school, okay?
Solomon: Hmm. I wonder who they were.
At Scootaloo's house, Spike sat in Scootaloo's lap while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stood next to them.
Spike: Seriously? He doesn't recognize his own grandson?
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle folded their arms.
Apple Bloom: Typical grandpa!
Sweetie Belle: So forgetful.
The new season two title sequence started playing.
"Kawaitaaa"
"Sakebigaaa"
"Todoke"
"Fly at higher gaaaaaame"
Rarity: Ooh, I like the new title sequence.
Applejack: Well, this is a new season after all.
Tea and Yugi were still walking to school.
Tea: And then this one time, at Duel camp, I put my Deck in my-
Yugi: Hey, what's that?
Everybody, except for Spike and the Crusaders, was like "Whoooaa, heeey, whoooaa!"
Timber: Are you okay, Twilight?
Twilight blushed with embarrassment.
Twilight: I'm fine. I'm just so glad Spike doesn't know about this show.
The Rainbooms also blushed with embarrassment.
Pinkie Pie: Wow... that was kind of awkward!
Rarity: I'll say. Oh, I am certainly happy Sweetie Belle doesn't know about this show.
Applejack: Same goes for Apple Bloom.
Over at Scootaloo's house, the reactors were confused.
Spike: Okay, I give up. Do you girls have any idea of what Tea was about to say?
Sweetie Belle: Uh, nope.
Scootaloo: Not a clue.
Apple Bloom: No idea.
Spike: Yeah, me neither.
Lyra and Bon Bon were stunned and blushing.
Lyra: That quite a way to start the new season.
Bon Bon: I agree.
Bandit Keith: Step right up and I will reveal your future... in America!
Sunset: Oh no! He's back!
The Rainbooms let out a chuckle.
Rainbow Dash: I never thought we get to see Bandit Keith again... in America!
The Rainbooms let out another laugh, along with the other reactors, except for Timber.
Timber: What's so funny?
Twilight: Oh, it's that guy named Bandit Keith. He has this thing where he ends most of his sentences with "in America." Here's an example.
She cleared her throat.
Twilight: "The two of us together are watching Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series... in America!"
Timber: Oh!
Timber had a laugh out of that.
Timber: I see now.
Tea: What a crock!
Yugi: Maybe he can tell me when I'll finally hit puberty.
Everybody stared at their screens.
Fluttershy: Um... not a very good idea, Yugi.
Bandit Keith: In order to tell your future, I'll need you to give me your necklace.
Yugi: My puzzle? No way! Without it, I can't pretend to be good at card games.
Bandit Keith: Look, do you want your damn fortune told or not?
Yugi: Well... okay then.
Yugi handed the Puzzle over to Keith.
Bandit Keith: I predict that you are a gullible idiot... in America!
Bandit Keith started running away with the Puzzle.
Bandit Keith: Mwahahaha! ...in America.
While Fluttershy gasped in shock, everybody else laughed.
Scootaloo: Two "in America's" in a row!
Sweetie Belle: That's a new record!
Fluttershy: That was so mean!
Twilight: Let this be a lesson. Never, and I mean never, let a grown man in a robe borrow your Ancient Egyptian artifact.
Timber smirked.
Timber: In America!
Twilight widened her eyes before looking at Timber. The two then had a nice laugh afterwards.
Tea: Yugi, I hate to break this to you, but you totally deserved that.
Yugi went after him.
Yugi: Hey, come back! You didn't even tell me my fortune!
Everybody deadpanned.
Spike: Seriously? His Puzzle was taken away, and he's worried about his future?
Apple Bloom: That's Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged for you.
Yugi: Hmm. He must be hiding inside this abandoned warehouse.
Bandit Keith: Welcome, Yugi! I see you've fallen right into my trap... in America! Now let's have a children's card game to decide who gets to keep your Millennium Item.
Yugi: But, you've already stolen it from me. If anything, I should be challenging you.
Bandit Keith: Look, can we just play the card game?
Yugi: You're new to this whole stealing thing, aren't you?
Everybody had a good laugh after that scene.
Rainbow Dash: Well, Yugi does have a good point. He should be the one challenging Keith.
Applejack: And there ain't no way Bandit Keith is new to stealing things, not after stealin' Joey's card?
Pinkie Pie: I know right? I still can't believe he did that.
Tea: Running!
Bakura: Yo, Tea. How's it hanging, dude?
Tea: What the Hell did you just say to me?
Bakura: I'm trying to sound more American, so people won't pick on me as much.
Bon Bon: Yeah, his American accent could use a little more work.
Lyra nodded.
Lyra: Uh-huh!
Rarity shrugged and sighed.
Rarity: Well, if Bakura wishes to sound more American, I suppose that's fine. Just so long as he doesn't use an American "Urban" accent.
Tea: Well, stop it! You sound like you're from the 1970s!
Bakura: Oh, come on baby, cut me some slack. Let's hang out together. It'll be totally cool.
Tea started running away.
Tea: Somebody help! Bakura's gone insane!
Everybody was laughing while Rarity just smiled with her eyes closed.
Scootaloo: So much for that! Hehehehe.
Yami Bakura: Now that she's out of the way, I can concentrate on finding gay people!
He pulls out his Millennium Ring.
Yami Bakura: Come on, little gaydar. Work your magic.
Everybody had another good laugh.
Timber: Hold on a minute. A gaydar?
Twilight was still laughing.
Twilight: Oh yeah. You pretty much get the idea already.
Lyra and Bon Bon were chuckling.
Bon Bon: I still can't believe he's still calling it that.
Lyra: Do you think he'll ever find his perfect match with that gaydar of his?
Bon Bon: Lyra, this is Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. Of course he will.
Bandit Keith: It's time to duel... in America!
Yugi: I don't know who you are, but I won't let you keep my puzzle.
Rainbow shook her head.
Rainbow Dash: Is Yugi for real?
Sunset: He literally says "in America" at the end of every sentence, and Yugi still doesn't know it's Bandit Keith?
Pinkie Pie: Come on, Yugi! He said "in America" five times already!
Yugi: I summon the Frustrated Celtic Guardian!
Celtic Guardian: I am so frustrated.
The reactors let out another laugh.
Apple Bloom: So the holograms can talk now? Hehehe.
Sweetie Belle: What's even funnier is that his mouth wasn't moving!
Pinkie Pie: First disgruntled, and now frustrated? What's next? Hungry?
Pinkie started rubbing her belly.
Pinkie Pie: I know I am!
Bandit Keith: Your frustrated elf is no match for my machine monsters... in America!
Everybody started dancing to "Mr. Roboto" while Bandit Keith assembled an army of machine monsters.
Yugi: (Thought) Wait a minute. Those monsters look kinda familiar.
Applejack: It took Yugi long enough to figure it out.
Yugi: Who are you? Show yourself!
Bandit Keith throws off his hood to reveal himself.
Yugi: Oh my God, it's Bandit Keith! I had no idea! Super special awesome plot twist!
All the reactors giggled.
Sunset: Well, it wasn't really a plot twist, considering the number of times he said "in America."
Rainbow Dash: Yeah. You'd think Yugi would've known by now.
Bandit Keith: Yes, it's me. Bandit Keith. But I'm being controlled by somebody who isn't American.
Yugi: You mean you're being manipulated?
Bandit Keith: That's right, little Yugi.
Marik: With my Millennium Rod, I can take control of whoever I want.
Twilight widened her eyes.
Twilight: (Thought) It's him!
Back with the Rainbooms, they all noticed Marik too.
Pinkie Pie: Hey, look. It's that guy from the ending of episode six!
Fluttershy: I think you're right! What's his name again? Marik?
Pinkie pointed at Fluttershy.
Pinkie Pie: Yes. Marik. That's what it is.
Sunset: Hmm. (Thought) Marik.
Back with Lyra and Bon Bon...
Bon Bon: So the Millennium Eye steals people's souls, and now we've got this Millennium Rod that brainwashes people?
Lyra: I am so glad the Millennium Items aren't real. I so do not want to be brainwashed...
Lyra remembered the Fall Formal.
Lyra: Again.
Bon Bon smiled.
Bon Bon: Don't worry, Lyra.
She moved closer to Lyra.
Bon Bon: As long as we're together, nothing bad will ever happen to us.
Lyra smiled and hugged her best friend.
Lyra: Thank you, Bon Bon. You're the best, you know that?
Bon Bon smiled and hugged her back.
Bon Bon: Yeah, I know.
Back with Spike and the Crusaders...
Sweetie Belle: So this Marik guy is the main villain of this season?
Scootaloo: Seems so.
Apple Bloom: Pegasus was one thing, but this Marik fella sure gives me the creeps.
Spike: Same here. But then again, I wonder what his role in the show will be like.
Yugi: And you chose Bandit Keith? Why the Hell would you choose Bandit Keith? He sucks!
Everybody burst out laughing.
Lyra: Hehehehehe. Wait, hold on. I think he means, "He sucks..."
The two girls gave each other smirked looks.
Lyra and Bon Bon: IN AMERICA!
The two girls shared a nice laugh together.
Marik: It's simple. Americans are very easy to brainwash. Isn't that right, mind slave?
Bandit Keith: Whatever you say, Mr. President.
Timber and Twilight: Mr. President?
The two "buddies" laughed together.
Timber: They're not even in America!
Twilight: Hehe. And Presidents don't wear robes. Unless it's bathrobes after a shower.
Joey: We gotta save Yugi! So let's just skip school for the fiftieth time.
Tristan: You'd think they would've expelled us by now.
Reactors: Fifty times!?
Apple Bloom: Now how in the hay could they possibly skip school that many times?
Scootaloo: That's what I wanna know.
Sweetie Belle: You're not just saying that so you can try skipping school, are you?
There was a few seconds of awkward silence.
Scootaloo: Nnnnoooooo...?
Sweetie Belle: I instantly believe you.
Back with the Rainbooms...
Applejack: Now how in the hay could they possibly skip school that many times?
Rainbow Dash: That's what I wanna know.
Rarity: You're not just saying that so you can try skipping school, are you?
There was a few seconds of awkward silence.
Rainbow Dash: Nnnnoooooo...?
Rarity: I instantly believe you.
Twilight's eyes were wide open and her hands were shaking.
Twilight: Skipping... school... fifty... times... I can't even...
Before Twilight could faint, Timber offered some water to Twilight. After drinking some water, she sighed as she felt relaxed.
Timber: Better?
Twilight: I am now.
Everybody continued on with the show.
Coach Morty: What is the meaning of this? You kids should be wearing your extremely tight gym shorts.
All except Timber: NYEEEEH!
Timber turned to Twilight.
Timber: Uh, what was that?
Twilight: Oh, that's something we got from the show. We sometimes say it whenever we hear something... uncomfortable. The blonde guy, Joey, says it a lot with his Brooklyn accent.
Timber: Oh, I see. Good to know.
Back with Spike and the Crusaders...
Spike: Eck! That statement was so disturbing.
Scootaloo: Aside from that, it looks like Yugi's friends are busted.
Apple Bloom: I wonder how they gonna get outta this mess.
Joey: Nyeh, sorry coach, but there's been an emergency.
Tristan: Somebody spoiled the new Harry Potter book for Tea, and she's very upset.
Tea: All my fanfics are worthless now.
She let out a sniffle and buried her face into her hands.
Tea: Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Coach Morty: My pink sweater is moved by your story. By all means, take the day off school!
Everybody started cracking up after that.
Twilight: I swear, if this wasn't an abridged version, they would've been expelled for sure. Hahahahaaaa!
At Scootaloo's house...
Scootaloo: Okay, forget what we said earlier. We totally gotta try that at some point.
Sweetie Belle: As funny as it was in the show, it's still a bad idea, Scootaloo. We'll easily get caught. Plus, we have Spike as a witness.
Spike: I won't tell anyone.
Sweetie Belle: Okay, let's do it.
Apple Bloom deadpanned everyone and sighed.
Apple Bloom: Even though ah'm pretty much against this, I can't just leave you two by yourselves. So count me in.
Tea: Why didn't we just tell him the truth?
Tristan: Because lying is fun!
Everybody else laughed while Applejack widened her eyes.
Applejack: Lying... is fun!?
She looked away with her arms crossed.
Applejack: Well, ah beg to differ.
Yami Bakura showed up at the warehouse.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) It looks like my Millennium Ring has led me to this warehouse. I haven't seen gay readings this strong since that screening of Showgirls.
The Crusaders looked confused.
Sweetie Belle: What's Showgirls?
Apple Bloom: I don't know, and I don't think I wanna know.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Hmm. That looks like Bandit Keith and Yugi. Someone must be manipulating this duel. Someone with a Millennium Item!
Bandit Keith: The Millennium Puzzle belongs to me! Wait a minute. This thing wasn't made in America! It must be destroyed!
Everybody gasped in shock when they saw Keith smashing the Millennium Puzzle into pieces. Fluttershy was in shock the most.
Yugi: No! My chick magnet!
Bakura came down swinging on a rope.
Bakura: This looks like a job for Limey Man!
After getting hit by Bakura, Bandit Keith began losing his balance.
Bandit Keith: Whoaaawhoaaawhoaa in America!
Bandit Keith fell off the Duel Arena platform.
Despite knowing Bakura's possessed, the reactors applaud him for saving Yugi.
Rarity: (Thought) That's my Bakura!
Yugi: Bakura! You saved me!
Bakura: I'm here to kick ass and drink cups of tea. And I'm all out of tea.
Everybody couldn't help but chuckle after that.
Rainbow Dash: First Kaiba, and now Bakura? Who's next, Joey?
Yugi: I can't believe he broke my puzzle. I guess I'd better start putting it back together.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Yes, Yugi. And when you do, there'll be a part of my soul inside it! Then, in about five hundred episodes, I'll put my evil plan into motion! I'm so diabolical, it hurts. They don't call me Florence for nothing.
The Rainbooms gasped in shock.
Rainbow Dash: Say what?!
Pinkie Pie: No way!
Fluttershy: He placed his what in Yugi's what?
She blushed in embarrassment while rubbing her head after thinking about what she just said.
Fluttershy: Oh. That didn't sound so right.
Rarity: Why that evil scoundrel! If he causes even more trouble, I swear...
Sunset nervously placed her hand on Rarity's shoulder while Rarity was breathing heavily.
Sunset: Easy, Rarity. Calm down.
Twilight was looking nervous.
Twilight: (Thought) Just what is that Evil Bakura up to this time?
Bakura: Here, Yugi. You forgot this piece.
Yugi: Hey, thanks! Wow, you're being really helpful today. It's... kinda weird.
Bakura: My mummy says I'm a good boy!
Yugi: You know, Bakura, I think I might be starting to respect you.
Bakura: Thanks, Yugi. Oh, bugger!
Bakura fell off the platform.
Bakura: Oh, my sensitive little bottom!
Rarity quietly giggled, even though she shows Bakura's possessed.
Yugi: Yeah, forget what I just said.
Bakura: Catch you later, dude.
Yugi: Bye, Bakura! Try not to get beat up on the way to school.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Heh-heh. Suckerrrr.
The Rainbooms groaned at Yami Bakura.
Lyra: I seriously don't trust that guy.
Timber had an even stranger feeling about Yami Bakura.
Marik: You have failed me, Bandit Keith. And for that, you will suffer my wrath.
"La Marseillaise" started playing in Keith's head.
Bandit Keith: There's a voice in my head, and it's French! The exact opposite of American!
Pinkie Pie: The exact- WHAT!?
The reactors instantly got over Yami Bakura's schemes and laughed again.
Applejack: Bandit Keith's gonna get it now.
Keith began swinging a pipe around.
Bandit Keith: No! Stop torturing me! Okay, I admit it! I'm not really American, I'm Canadian! Is that what you wanted to hear, you bastard?
Twilight gave a dramatic gasp.
Timber: Sooo I'm guessing this guy's not really American?
Twilight turned to Timber with a surprised face and then back to the screen.
Twilight: It... would appear so.
Lyra and Bon Bon were gasping in some air with their jaws dropped. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie had her hands on her head.
Pinkie Pie: I don't believe it!
Rainbow Dash: No way!
Applejack: I can't believe that no-good varmint lied to us!
Sunset: Me neither.
Rarity crossed her arms and looked disappointed.
Rarity: He should be ashamed of himself.
Fluttershy: Super special awesome plot twist... for real this time.
At Scootaloo's house...
Scootaloo: So does this mean he'll end his sentences with "In Canada" from now on?
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Spike were shocked after hearing about Keith being Canadian.
Scootaloo: I'm gonna take your silence as a yes.
Outside the warehouse, Yugi's friends saw the place on fire.
Tea: Look, that building's on fire! Somebody must be in big trouble.
Tristan: Let's forget about Yugi and help these guys instead.
Twilight: What the heck!?
All the reactors laughed again.
Timber: Don't they know Yugi's the one in danger?
Inside the warehouse, Yugi was struggling to get his Puzzle.
Yugi: God, what was I thinking getting that chain? I must be the dumbest anime character ever.
While everybody else was laughing, Fluttershy was starting to worry about Yugi.
Fluttershy: Yugi...
Tristan and Joey ran toward the front of the warehouse.
Tristan: We're coming in!
As soon as Tristan touched the door, his hand sizzled.
Tristan: Aha-ow! The door hurt me, Joey!
Joey: Here, let me do it.
Joey started kicking the door with every "Nyeh" sound.
Joey: Nyeh! Nyeh! Nyeh!
Yugi: Getting so hot. I... don't know if I'll make it.
Joey: Nyeh! Nyeh! Nyeh! Nyeh! Nyeh!
Yugi: It sure would be nice if my friends showed up to help.
Joey: Nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh!
Everybody burst out laughing after that. Lyra and Bon Bon held their stomachs while kicking their feet. Spike laughed in Scootaloo's lap while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle fell to the floor. The Rainbooms laughed like crazy with Sunset pounding the floor and Applejack rolling on her back.
Since they were in a Diner, Timber and Twilight toned down their laughter a little bit. After wiping tears of joy of their eyes, the reactors began to calm down, even getting more bits of laughter out of their system. The Rainbooms took deep breaths and Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stood up off the floor.
Lyra and Bon Bon: THAT WAS SO FUNNY!
The two girls began to laugh some more.
Spike: What was that?
Scootaloo: Joey sounded like a machine gun.
Apple Bloom: Or a robot malfunctioning.
Scootaloo: Same thing, really.
The three stared at Scootaloo before laughing again.
Rarity: Whoo! It seems LittleKuriboh has risen his work to even greater heights.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah! It's the first episode of season two, and he's already hit us with top-notch comedy.
Sunset: I still can't believe he's got us laughing so hard again. And I get the feeling there's more to come.
Everybody continued on with the episode.
Yugi: Okay, seriously, where the Hell are those guys?
The two boys manage to break the door down.
Joey and Tristan: Nyeh!
Tristan: Boo-yah!
Bandit Keith: Help! This building's haunted... by French people!
Twilight: Well, technically there's French music, not French people.
Joey: Yug, what're you doin'? We gotta get outta here!
Yugi: I... can't leave yet. Without my Puzzle, I can't be a main character.
Pinkie Pie: I think he's forgetting about Yami's spirit inside the Millennium Puzzle.
Sunset was getting worried.
Sunset: Pharaoh...
Tea: We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.
Applejack: Heeey! Those are Billy Joel lyrics!
Tea gasped.
Tea: Zoh my god, it's my Yugi-muffin!
Fluttershy looked surprised.
Fluttershy: (Thought) But that's "my" Yugi-muffin!
Joey: Don't worry, Tea. Aside from some third-degree burns and severe mental scarring, he should be just fine.
Tristan: I'm a fireman!
Everybody giggled.
Marik: It seems Bandit Keith was a waste of time. It looks like we'll just have to try again tomorrow night.
Odion: Gee, Brain, what're we gonna do tomorrow night?
Marik: The same thing we do every night, binky-boy. Try to take over the world!
The "Pinky and the Brain" theme played while everybody laughed.
Rainbow Dash: I saw this coming.
Pinkie Pie: Me too. I loved that show!
Applejack: Of course, you would. The show's got Pinky in the name, only it ends with a "Y" instead of "ie".
Rarity: And I suppose Twilight would be the Brain.
Sunset: That makes sense. There's Pinkie Pie, and Twilight's clearly the brains in our group.
The girls chatted in agreement.
[fyi, tea ships harry and hedwig]
Bon Bon: Wait, what?
Lyra: Hold on. She ships a human wizard and an owl?
The two girls gave it some thought.
Bon Bon: That's like a bizarre ship!
Lyra nodded.
Lyra: Yeah!
Yami Marik: Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up. This... is my BOOMSTICK!
The two "buddies" chuckled.
Twilight: The Millennium Boomstick?! That's just silly!
Somewhere in Canada, Keith was wearing a Canadian flag on his head.
Bandit Keith: It sure is good to be back home... in Canada!
After the episode ended, Spike and the Crusaders had a nice laugh.
Scootaloo: I knew it! I knew he'd say "in Canada"! I totally called it.
Apple Bloom: Hehehe. Wow! What a great way to start the new season, huh?
Spike: You said it. You girls up for the next episode?
Crusaders: Yeeeaah!
The doorbell rang.
Sweetie Belle: The pizza must be here. Let's go.
Spike hopped off of Scootaloo's lap and was ready to get some pizza. They were about to leave the room until Scootaloo stopped them.
Scootaloo: Wait. Hold on.
The three turned to Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle: What is it?
Scootaloo stood up from her chair and began walking out the door.
Scootaloo: Stay here. I hear something.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Spike stayed and listened until the doorbell rang again.
Spike: All I hear is the doorbell.
Scootaloo stood right outside her door.
Spike: Are you sure your hearing something else?
Scootaloo: I'm sure, Spike. And it's the sound of me trying to keep all the pizza for myself... in America!
She closed her room door and ran for the front door.
Scootaloo: Mwahahaha! ...in America.
Apple Bloom: What in the hay!
Apple Bloom opened the door and they ran after Scootaloo.
Apple Bloom: Oh, no you don't, Scootaloo!
Sweetie Belle: Get back here.
Spike: BURN THE WITCH!
Lyra and Bon Bon laughed after the episode ended.
Lyra: I loved that episode so much.
Bon Bon: Me too.
The girls laughed some more until Lyra noticed something.
Lyra: Hey, who's that?
The two girls looked out the window and saw a mad teen boy walking down the sidewalk.
Bon Bon: Oh, it's that weird guy from school! The one who's always angry for no reason? He's been nicknamed Frustrated Ed.
Frustrated Ed: I am so frustrated.
Back with the Rainbooms...
Rarity: Well, I must say that was quite another marvelous episode.
Fluttershy: I'm just so glad the whole fire thing is over.
Pinkie Pie: Me too. That was really distressing!
Pinkie stood up.
Pinkie Pie: This calls for a break.
She began walking out of the room.
Rainbow Dash: Uh, where are you going, Pinkie Pie?
Pinkie Pie: To the kitchen.
Applejack: Why?
Pinkie Pie: I'm going to bake us cookies with lots of sprinkles. And I'm all out of sprinkles.
The girls paused for a moment before laughing.
Pinkie Pie: Just kidding. I always have sprinkles.
And with that, she left. Meanwhile, Timber and Twilight left the Diner and were now walking together on their way to the Aquarium.
Twilight: Soooo Timber... what did you think of the show? Did you like it?
Timber: Like it? I lived it! That was insanely awesome!
Twilight: Really?
Timber: Yeah. I don't think I've ever watched a show like that before. Who made that show again? LittleKuriboh?
Twilight: Uh-huh.
Timber: Heh. Then I guess I was right when I said he's a genius. And I have a good feeling my sister will like the show too.
Twilight: I bet she will.
Timber: So, Twilight, any chance we could watch another episode at the Aquarium?
Twilight: Yep. That's part of the plan. Aquarium, here we come.
Author's Note: Once again, I apologize for taking so long. I was hoping to post this chapter during my vacation time, but I hardly had time for myself. But now, I'm finally back home and ready to create more episode reactions.
