Chapter 8
Everyone was now back upstairs. Rainbow was still eating her pizza like the monster she was, and Fluttershy had finally awoken. She was told to go put Spike back to sleep because of some noises that HAD WOKEN HIM UP but no questions were asked due to the looks on Twilight's face.
Everything was peaceful now... well almost peaceful.
"Soooooo? Another round of truth or dare anyone?" PinkiePie suddenly chimmed, making everyone give her a glare.
Twilight though found this opportunity to change the subject. "H-How about we try something different?" She asked, making all eyes turn to her. "D-Different?" Fluttershy asked.
"Just how different?" Applejack also added.
"W-Well... um... we could play a board game?" Twilight then suggested, making Fluttershy perken up a bit.
But RainbowDash on the other hand, went bland. "A-A board game? Seriously?" Rainbow asked with a smug look on her face.
"Hey let's not start judging again, kai?" Applejack then spat, making Rainbow just give an irritated sigh.
"I for one think that a board game sounds lovely" Rarity then agreed, making PinkiePie just nod her head with a quirky smile as well.
"Ok! let's see what we have" Twilight then galloped to a nearby closet and used her horn to glow and light the way. She dug around in her closet, suggesting some names of the games she had. "Jenga? Uno? Trouble?" Twilight listed.
"I think we've already played trouble" Applejack mocked with a grin at Rainbow, who only returned the sly grin yet with a bit more of an offended attitude.
"Oooh! How about the game of 'Sorry'?" Twilight asked as she dug out one of the best known and favorited games ever.
"Oh I love sorry!" PinkiePie squealed.
"Uh huh... who wants to play sorry when you can say 'Get Lost' or 'Too Bad!?'" Rainbow joked with a laugh, making Rarity give her a glare. "Shut that door of yours Rainbow, your letting all the cold air out" Rarity flipped her curly hair with attitude.
RainbowDash snarled at Rarity with such hate, but before anything could happen a bolt of electricity simply zapped Rainbow slightly on the hind leg, causing her to jump slightly from the sudden reaction.
"Hey whoa! What was that?" Rainbow asked as a small patch of smoke drifted from her leg.
"That's a small warning I give to ponies who don't behave in my house!" Twilight answered as she trotted over with the game.
Rainbow laughed. "Wow! When did you think of that? Two seconds ago!?" Rainbow scoffed with laugher.
Twilight only narrowed her eyes. "In fact, yes I did. And no, not two seconds ago. More like 45.6 seconds ago as I watched you make fun of my game! Now zip it!" Twilight demanded.
She then opened the lid to the game and began setting it up. Rarity quickly grabbed the cards and began shuffling them. "I-I'll fix the cards" she suggested when everyone just gave her a small look.
Now only four players could play... There were four colors as well. Blue. Red. Yellow. and Green. Instantly Rainbow responded.
"OOOOH I'll be blue!" Rainbow yipped as she grabbed the blue chips that are supposed to be moved around the board.
"heck, what if someone else wants to be blue?" Applejack mocked, making Rainbow yet again look like a jerk. "B-but... well... doe anyone want blue than me?" Rainbow then lowered her voice and softly asked.
"It's ok RainbowDash, I'll be Green" Twilight suggested. "Yes and I'll be... hmm... oh I guess yellow" Rarity added.
Applejack stared from one pony to another before sighing. "Fine. I'll be red." Applejack hated when she couldn't prove her point to Rainbow...
"YAY! that leaves Blue for me!" Rainbow grinned.
"WAIT! what about me!?" Suddenly though PinkiePie spoke up. "I'm all about games!" She added.
Twilight went blue for a second. "O-Oh! I totally forgot that only four ponies could play... uh... how about you Fluttershy?" Twilight then asked the shy creamy yellow colored Pegasus.
"Oh... I don't mind watching" Fluttershy admitted from under her covers again.
"Well then it's settled!" Rainbow nodded with glee.
"WAIT... aren't you the one who made fun of the game? and Aren't you the one who said gameboards are lame? If so... I think Pinkie should have blue and you should just watch!" Applejack suddenly remarked, reminding Rainbow of her fatal mistake yet again.
Dash rolled her eyes. "Aww come on.. you know I was just joking with ya!" She pleaded, slightly scared of giving her game spot away.
"Well Applejack does have a point Rainbow..." Twilight then added, making Rainbow go crimson slightly. "Uh... well... err... I..." Rainbow began fiddling with the blue game pieces when suddenly Pinkie just shook her head. "no it's fine RainbowDash... you can play... I'll... just watch" Pinkie flattened her ears, yet tried not to show her disappointment.
"Wow really? Thanks so much Pinks!" Rainbow squealed.
"Wow.. that was pretty huge of you to do that Pinkie. Even though you knew Applejack was right and Rainbow was wrong, you still let her keep her game spot... that's really generous of you" Twilight then remarked, smiling at her good party friend.
"Ok so pick a card Twilight" Rarity then began the game as she sat the cards down in the center of the board game.
Twilight lifted a card from the stack and got a 6.
"ugh" Twilight muttered as she flopped it down next to her.
"W-What's wrong? Why didn't you move one of your players out?" Rainbow then asked suspiciously.
"Because Rainbow! The rules say you have to get a 1 or a 2 to get a player out. If you get a 2 on any reason, you get to go again. if you get an 11 you get to switch spots with another player. If you get a sorry card, you get to take a player's spot and kick them back to home. And if you get a 7 you can split-" Twilight began going on and on about the rules but Rainbow finally had enough.
"Ok... I got it, let's just play now. Ok?" Rainbow asked as calmly as she could, making Twilight narrow her eyes but shrug.
Later on in the game Rainbow got a 5, Rarity got a 3, AppleJack got a 4...

FINALLY Applejack got a 2!
"YEE HAW! I'm finally out!" Applejack finally moved one of her chips or players out onto the track, making Rainbow groan. "Maybe I should have given my spot to Pinkie" She muttered.
"What was that?" Applejack asked next with a grin.
"UH NOTHING" Rainbow only replied, though she still had a smug look on her face as Applejack went to pick another card up.
"HEY WAIT! It's my Twilight's turn not yours!" Rainbow then suddenly pointed out angrily at how Applejack was trying to cheat.
"No I-" Applejack began but Rainbow cut her off. "Nope... I know the rules. And your cheating! That's right I-" Rainbow kept on running her mouth on how she was right, and when she finally ended Applejack just rolled her eyes furiously. "I GOT A 2 KNOW-IT-ALL! When you get a 2 you get to pick another card! Like Twilight said!" Applejack growled finally, making Rainbow slightly flinch.
"I don't think so! I think she said-" Rainbow still defended her point on how AJ was cheating when Twilight then budded in. "Uh actually... Applejack is right... if you get a 2 you get to pick another card and go again" Twilight muttered. "But don't mind me Rainbow... you just keep on arguing and making your point" Twilight rolled her eyes mockingly.
"Thank you I will! And further more!-... wait... what!?" Rainbow finally realized her mistake, making everyone cackle with laughter.
"Wow you sure do know it all!" Applejack spoke between giddy laughs.
Rainbow just sat, bewildered. "B-But..."
Even Pinkiepie and FLUTTERSHY for once were laughing. "Oh my, can't you remember anything? Can you even remember your own name sweetie?" Rarity taunted as she began laughing some more.
"Well... duh! My name is-" RainbowDash began but Applejack cut her off again. "No no wait... we know it... but do YOU know it?" Applejack sarcastically joked with a dramatic serious tone, making everyone burst into laughing again.
"...NOW WAIT JUST A FLYING-FLIPPING SECOND!" Rainbow argued, trying to maintain her pride.
Twilight even couldn't control her giggles but she finally got serious again and cleared her throat. "Ok girls let's settle back down" Twilight suggested.
"Yeah I think it will be best for ALL of us" Rainbow crossed her hooves smartly, while Rarity and AJ just rolled their eyes.
"Well for one thing I wanna do something else now!" PinkiePie finally spoke up from her state of 'Watching' the game.
"S-same here... m-maybe we could do something that deals with e-everypony this time?" Fluttershy suggested like she was dead with boredom.
Twilight gave an embarrassed smile. "Of course"
Please review and tell me how I'm doing! :D
