Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was a day like any other. All the ponies in Ponyville were as happy as ever! But today, would start something brand new. Flare was at his Pizza Parlor, and he was about to have his lunch break.

"Bonnie, Lyra, I'm going on my lunch break." said Flare.

"Go ahead, boss colt." said Bon Bon.

"It's a pretty slow day don't you think?" said Lyra. The Pizza Parlor was nearly empty, just a couple of customors.

"Aw c'mon guys. We have a few customors. See?" said Flare.

"Flare, you're losing it." said Bon Bon. "We need to straighten things up around here, add some entertainment, or sales!"

"It's not just here, Bon Bon." said Lyra. "You know I've been watching TV lately, and I've been getting bored with some of these old shows."

"We have shows around here sometimes." said Flare.

"I was talking TV shows." said Lyra. "We have cartoons, soaps, drama, comedy, and everything."

"So if you have everything, why you complaining about it?" asked Flare.

"What I'm saying is, everything is fake." said Lyra.

"GASP!" cried Flare. "Everything is fake? You mean like... we don't exisit? HOLY WIZARD OF..."

"Flare, stop." said Bon Bon. "That's not what she meant."

"Everything is fake on TV. There is nothing realistic. We need real live contests." said Lyra. "And I'm not talking about these random events like the Unicorn Games. Something simple that'll win ponies money."

"You know what, Lyra? YOU'RE RIGHT! RIGHT AS A KITE!" said Flare.

"How can a kite be right?" asked Bon Bon.

"That's not the point." said Flare. "Back in Mareami, we had lots of TV shows. And we even had realistic trivia contests, they are called: Game shows!"

"Game shows?" asked Bon Bon looking confused.

"Yeah game shows!" said Flare. "Don't you have any around here?"

"No... actually we don't." said Lyra.

"SURPRISE FACE!" cried Flare. "We need to put some entertainment in your miseriable little brains! While I'm at it, I can advertise this shop! The customers would come pooring in like iced tea! BONNIE, PUT THE PRINCESSES ON THE PHONE! We're gonna need all the help we can get!"

"What's the plan this time?" asked Bon Bon.

"Game shows are awesome! Awesome possum! So I'm going to add a game show into this part of Equestria! Feel dat Mareami heat! Feel the burns!" said Flare.

"Well I don't think I'd wanna get burnt, Flare." said Lyra.

"Not really, but I mean something that'll bring up ratings!" said Flare. "Maybe I'll even afford to open another Pizza Parlor in Canterlot! I'm gonna host a game show! Happy face!"

"Oooooookay... what kind of game show?" asked Bon Bon.

"Uhh... I-D-K. Maybe my buddies will help out!" said Flare.

"Your new Noble Six clan?" asked Lyra.

"No my fishies." said Flare. "They are so smart! They are like... the smartest in all of Equestria!"

Lyra and Bon Bon looked at eachother confused. "Let's change this map to ponyville underscore trailer version 2!" said Flare.

Then Flare walked over to his trailer, went into his bedroom and talked to his fish.

"My friends, I have an idea!" Flare said to his fish while holding an axe. "I'm gonna host a game show! But I wanna 'axe' for your opinions. LOL!"

"Bad joke." said Rainbow, but Flare couldn't understand what the fish are saying.

"So overused." said Dorthey.

"So fishies, what kind of game show?" asked Flare. "Now I'm looking for a trivia game, but I'm not looking for a rocket science trivia game. I'm thinking of something that involes you to think fast, but the question is simple to answer. What do you guys think?" Fish just looked at Flare. Darrel swam to Flare really fast back and fourth. "Good idea, Darrel!" he said. "After a couple gets married, the married pony adds the answer to a question, and their spouse has to figure out what their answer is." Yoyo came up to the fish tank and pointed to the fish food, because he's hungry. "Yeah you're right, Yoyo. We can think better! Let's think of something that involes a teamplay effort!" Pearl is cleaning up the barrel inside the fish tank with her fin. "No Pearlie, I don't think a game about cooking is gonna help." Darrel swims over to Rainbow and tries to boost him up, but then Rainbow starts chasing Darrel. "Rainbow, you're a genius! It's perfect! A game about a family answering trivia questions together! Earn points, and win alot of money!" Then a little bulb appears on Flare's head. "I KNOW WHAT TO DO! HAPPY FACE! IT'S PERFECT!" Then Flare looks at the light bulb that appeared on his head. "Oh this is perfect! I need to change my light bulb on the lamp in the Living Room anyway."

Later that night, Flare was getting everything ready at Ponyville Square. There was a stage with two tables on each side, and one little one in the middle. There was a crowd awaiting for the show to start.

"Wow. There is a large crowd. I wonder what Flare planned?" said Fluttershy.

"He said something about planning a game show. Twilight's family and Pinkie's family all came to visit." said Rainbow Dash.

"A game show about families answering trivia questions together? Sounds genius!" said Rarity.

"Ah would love to see mah family up on stage. Maybe we can go next. What do you say Big Macintosh?" said AppleJack.

"Yes." said Big Macintosh.

"Pardon me, brother?" said AppleJack confused.

"Ah just fooled ya'll, AppleJack. Ah say eeeyup all the time. So ah decided to say somethin' else." said Big Mac.

AppleJack laughed. "Yeah, ah see what ya'll mean, brother." she said.

"I still wonder what this show is about." said Fluttershy.

"Probably not a big deal, dear." said Rarity. "Our host will probably tell us as the game goes on."

From back stage, Flare is getting everything ready. "Twilight is your family ready?" he asked.

"We're ready, Flare!" said Twilight.

"How about you Pinkie? Is your family ready?" asked Flare.

"Ready Eddie!" said Pinkie.

"Are the cameras ready?" Flare asked on the walkie talkie.

"Camera one ready." said Bon Bon.

"Camera two ready." said Lyra.

"Camera ten ready!" said Derpy with a giggle.

"Coming live, in 5... 4... 3... 2..." said Cheerilee.

The Family Feud theme plays in the background, and the cameras come online. The audience starts clapping, and Spike co-hosts the show. "Live from Ponyville, Equestria, we have the Sparkle Family! Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, Twilight Velvet, Night Light, and Princess Cadance. Playing against the Pie family! Pinkie, Blinkie, Inkie, Clyde, and Sue! Both families have to answer trivia questions, and have a chance to win 5,000 bits, and a coupon book for Flare's Pizza Parlor, because it's time to plaaaaaay Family Feud!" Spike said, starting the show. "And here's our host, the red unicorn from Mareami, Mr. Flaaaare Gun!"

Flare walks out from backstage wearing a tuxedo. "HELLO EQUESTRIA! Welcome to our brand new show! The Family Feud!" Flare said while the audience cheers. "In this game show we have two families that are competeing for a chance to win 5,000 bits, and a coupon book for Flare's Pizza Parlor!" the audience cheers. "So let's meet our families! In the right corner we have the Sparkle family!" the crowd cheers, and Flare walks over shaking Twilight's hoof. "Hello Twilight!"

"Hey Flare!" said Twilight.

"How about introducing us to your family?" suggested Flare.

"Well this is my brother Shining Armor, my mom Twilight Velvet, my dad Night Light, and my sister-in-law Cadance!" said Twilight.

"Your mom is named Twilight too?" said Flare. "You must be Twilight Junior if that's the case." everypony laughed. "And in the left corner we have the Pie family!" the crowd cheers, and Flare walks over to Pinkie, shaking her hoof. "How are you Pinkie?"

"Super dee dooper, Flarester!" said Pinkie.

"Oh what is this, Barney the Dinosaur?" teased Flare. "How about introducing me to your family?"

"This is my sister Blinkie, my sister Inkie, my dad Clyde, and my mom Sue!" said Pinkie.

"Your name is Sue! How do you do?" said Flare.

"Very well, thank you!" said Sue.

"You don't get it do you?" said Flare. "Alright, is everypony ready?" the crowd cheers. "Alright let's play the Feud! Give me Twilight, give me Pinkie!"

"Which Twilight?" asked Twilight's mom.

"Junior." said Flare. Then Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie walk over to the middle area with Flare shaking eachother's hooves. "Alright you two, we have five answers on the bored, try to find out what the answers are. Whoever pushes the buzzard first will answer first. Name something you use to travel with." Twilight pressed the buzzar first. "Twilight."

"Uhh... a train?" asked Twilight.

"Show me train!" said Flare looking at the board. And number 2 turns out to be train with a total of 16 points. "Alright Pinkie you have a chance to beat that, find the number one answer."

"Uhh... a pegasus with lots and lots of cupcakes!" asked Pinkie.

"Uhh... show me pegasus with lots and lots of cupcakes!" said Flare. The board gave a buzz, meaning it's the wrong answer. "Nope, sorry. Twilight you gonna play or give them the chance to answer the rest?"

"Play, Twilight!" said Twilight's family.

"We're gonna play." said Twilight.

"They're gonna play!" said Flare. Flare and Twilight walk back to the Sparkle corner. Flare walks over to Shining Armor and shakes his hoof. "Hello Shining! Sup brah?"

"Pretty good, pretty good!" said Shining.

"You and the Mrs. getting along well still?" asked Flare.

"Of course!" said Shining.

"Alright dude, name something you use to travel." said Flare.

Shining put his hoof on his chin and thought. "A boat?" he answered. His family clapped for him.

"I'M ON A BOAT! Mischievious face!" cried Flare, everypony laughed. "I'M ON A BOAT! Show me boat!" Number 4 revealed boat, which was 12 points.

"Praise the Wizards!" cried Flare, then he walks to Twilight's mom and shakes her hoof. "How you doing Twilight senior? Anything new?"

"Well since my little Twilight was interested in dragons, I decided to become a dragon researcher!" said Twilight's mom.

"You can learn a thing or two from those beasts. Maybe if you had a donkey with you to flirt with one, then you might get more info." said Flare. "Okay name something you use to travel."

"A carriage." she said, and everypony clapped for her.

"A carriage! That's pretty much what most ponies travel with these days!" said Flare. "Back in Mareami, we had motor carriages. It's not horse powered, it's horse powered! If you know what I mean. Lion face."

"No I don't really know what you mean." said Twilight's mom.

"Show me carriage!" said Flare. And the number one reveals carriage and is worth 30 points. "Nice one Mrs. Sparkle!"

"Thank you dear!" said Twilight's mom. Flare walks over to Twilight's dad Night Light and shakes his hoof.

"How you doing sir?" asked Flare.

"Fine, thank you!" said Twilight's dad.

"What do you do for a living?" asked Flare.

"I work at a Lighthouse and make sure it stays powered during a storm or a fog." said Night Light.

"Leet brah!" said Flare. "Name something you use to travel."

Twilight's dad thinks for a second. "I'm gonna go with blimp." he said.

"A blimp! I less then three those things! They are so cool! I'm gonna advertise my shop on those things during a Nashorse game." said Flare. "Show me blimp!" The board buzzes. "First strike! Three strikes and your out." Flare walks over to Cadance and kisses her hoof. "Your highness of the Crystal Kingdom."

"Hi Flare!" said Cadance.

"Give me your best answer, sister!" said Flare.

"Balloon!" said Cadance.

"It actually depends what kind of balloon. One little balloon can't make you float, unless you're Spike." teased Flare, everypony laughed.

"Really dude?" said Spike backstage.

"Show me balloon!" said Flare. Number 3 reveals balloon and it's worth 13 points. Flare walks back to Twilight. "Alright Twilight, you need one more answer to take the points, you have one strike."

"I'll go with... magic." said Twilight.

"Whoa whoa whoa, it's magic!" sung Flare. "You know, never believe it's not so!"

"Really, Flare?" said Twilight.

"Show me magic!" said Flare. The board buzzed again. "Not everypony has teleportation like you, sister!" Flare walks back to Shining. "Alright dude, you need one more answer to clear the board, you have two strikes. If you get this right you get the points, if not the Pie family gets a chance to steal the points!" Flare points to the Pie family gathered around discussing an answer.

"Uhhhh... uhh..." Shining thought. "By their hooves?" Everypony cheered for him.

"Alright, if hooves is up there, the Sparkle family gets the points!" said Flare. "Show me by their hooves!" The board buzzed again. Flare walks over to Pinkie. "Alright Pinkie, if you get this answer correct you steal the points, if not the Sparkle family gets them."

"Okkie dokey lokie!" said Pinkie.

"That's the spirit, sister!" said Flare. "Name something you use to travel."

"A frigate!" said Pinkie.

"Arrr! Like a pirate ship right?" said Flare.

"You got it!" said Pinkie.

"For the steal, FRIGATE!" said Flare. The board buzzed and the Sparkle family's points turned from 0 to 71. The Sparkle family cheered, jumped around, and gave eachother high hooves. "Alright! What's number 5?" Number 5 revealed plane.

"PLANE!" everypony in the audience said.

"Alright everypony! The Sparkle family is ahead with 71 points! Time for our next question! Give me Shining, give me Blinkie!" said Flare. Shining Armor and Blinkie Pie walked over to Flare in the middle and they shook hooves. "We have six answers on the board. What goes on a sundae?" Blinkie pressed the buzzard first. "Blinkie!"

"Whip cream!" said Blinkie.

"Show me whip cream!" said Flare. That was the number two answer and it was worth 29 points. "Go ahead Shining! Let's see if you can beat that!"

"Chocolate sauce." said Shining.

"Show me chocolate sauce!" said Flare. Number 3 revealed chocolate sauce and it was worth 25 points. "Blinkie had a higher answer, dude. What will it be, sister? You gonna take it or let them answer?"

"We're gonna play." said Blinkie. Then Flare and Blinkie walk over the the Pie side. Flare walks over to Inkie. "What's up, Inkie?"

"Not much, you?" asked Inkie.

"Hosting a show, what do you think? LOL!" teased Flare. "Name something you can put on a sundae."

"Sprinkles!" said Inkie.

"Sprinkles!" said Flare. Number four revealed Sprinkles and it was worth 19 points. Flare walks over to Clyde, Pinkie's dad, and shakes his hoof. "So what do you do for a living Clyde?"

"I run a rock farm." said Clyde.

"What are the rocks for?" asked Flare.

"Collecting." said Clyde. "We sell them to the unicorns so they can turn them into gems."

"I bet my bro Spike would like that." said Flare. "Name something you can put on a sundae."

"Cherries." said Clyde.

"Ah yes, you must not forget the little cherry on top!" said Flare. "Cherries!" Number five reveals cherries which was worth 15 points. Flare walks over to Pinkie's mom Sue. "Alright mommy, let's see what you got!"

"Strawberries." said Sue.

"I thought straws were for drinking with, I didn't know there were berries too." said Flare, and everypony laughed. "Strawberries!" The board buzzed. Then Flare walks over to Pinkie. "Alright Pinks! Your turn!"

"Bananas!" cried Pinkie.

"Bananas!" said Flare. Number six revealed bananas and is worth 3 points. "Alright Blinkie, your family has one strike, you need to answer one more and the points are yours."

Blinkie thought, but she couldn't answer the question in time so it buzzed. "Oh sheesh!" she said.

"Sorry sister, time's up." said Flare. He walks over to Inkie. "Two strikes, Inkie. You only need one more right answer to get the points, if not the Sparkle family has a chance to steal."

"Uhhh... caramel?" Inkie guessed.

"Caramel!" said Flare. The board buzzed. "That was the third strike. If this were bowling, that would be a good thing. LOL! Alright Twilight, what does you got?"

"Ice cream!" said Twilight.

"Ice cream, huh?" said Flare. "If it's up there, you stolen the points. Show me... ICE CREAM!" Ice Cream was the number one answer worth 33 points. The Sparkle family all cheered and gotten up a total of 195 points. "Alright, brahs! We have the Sparkles at 195 points, and the Pies have some catching up to do, but it's still anypony's game! We'll be right back after this commerical break!"

Later, back stage, the Sparkle family was talking to eachother about the game.

"Nice one everypony!" said Twilight. "Keep it up and we'll win the whole thing!"

"But Twilie, he said it's still anypony's game." said Shining. "You still think we can win this?"

"Don't talk so negative, son!" said Twilight's mom. "Of course we'll win! It's smooth sailing from here on out!"

"Don't under estimate the Pies, honey." said Twilight's dad. "They could still win right under our noses! What do you think Cadance?"

"I say we should just wait and see what happens." said Cadance.

"Right, what she said!" said Twilight. "Nice thinking Cadance!"

Meanwhile with the Pie family, they were thinking of their next strategy. "Let's not loose focus girls." said Clyde. "We still have a chance in winning!"

"Don't you see how smart the Sparkle family is, honey? We don't stand a chance!" said Sue.

"Don't worry mom, we just have to really think about it!" said Blinkie. "Why don't we let the Sparkle family answer the questions, and we'll answer the last question when they have three strikes."

"What makes you think they would have three strikes?" asked Inkie.

"Because it happened both times, silly!" said Pinkie. "Silly Inkie!"

"I got a bad feeling about this." said Inkie.

Back on the set, everypony was cheering, and the families went back to their corners.

"Welcome back to Family Feud everypony!" said Flare. "We have the Sparkle family at 195, and the Pie's at 0, but it's still anypony's game! Give me Twilight Velvet, give me Inkie!"

Twilight's mom and Inkie went up to Flare in the middle, and they shook hooves. "We're in the second part of the show, so we're doubling the points!" said Flare.

"The points of been doubled!" said Derpy in the background. "That's what the princess says!"

"Alright you two, we have six answers on the board." said Flare. "Name a member of the Wonderbolts!" Mrs. Sparkle pressed the buzzard first. "Mommy?"

"I'll say... uhh..." Mrs. Sparkle tried to guess, but time was up.

"Oooo, sorry, time's up." said Flare. "Inkie?"

"Soarin." said Inkie.

"Show me Soarin!" said Flare. And the number two answer was Soarin, and it was worth 25 points. But since the points are doubled, it's worth 50.

"So you gonna play, or pass it?" asked Flare.

"We're passing it." said Inkie.

"Really? Alright Sparkle family!" said Flare. Flare and Mrs. Sparkle walk back to the Sparkle corner. "Alright daddy, name a member of the Wonderbolts."

"Uhh... I don't know the Wonderbolts that well." said Night Light. "But I'll have to go with... Rainbow Dash?"

"Oh I wish!" said Rainbow Dash in the audience.

"Show me Rainbow Dash!" said Flare. The board buzzed. "Nope! First strike! Let's see if Cadance can can do it?"

"Spitfire." said Cadance.

"Show me Spitfire!" said Flare. And the number one answer was Spitfire with 28 points, but doubled is worth 56. "Nice! She's a great Wonderbolt!" Flare walks over to Twilight. "Alright Twilight, gimmie a Wonderbolt!"

"Silver Lining." said Shining.

"Silver Lining!" said Flare. The board buzzed. "Alright mommy, you have two strikes, and only three more answers to figure. If you get this right you're still alive, if not the Pies will get to steal.

"Uhhhh..." Mrs. Sparkle couldn't figure out an answer, then the board buzzed. "I'm sorry, I don't know the Wonderbolts!"

"Don't worry, it's kay." said Flare as he walked to the Pie's. "Pinkie, name a Wonderbolt."

"SURPRISE!" cried Pinkie.

"Show me Surprise!" said Flare. The board buzzed, and the Sparkle's have a total of 399 points. The Sparkle family all cheered. "Alright what was number four?" Number four revealed to be Fleetfoot.

"Fleetfoot!" everypony said.

"Number five?" said Flare. Number five revealed to be High Winds.

"High Winds!" everypony said.

"And number six?" said Flare. Number six revealed to be Wind Chill.

'Wind Chill!" everypony said.

"Alright brahs! We have the Sparkles at 399! The Pie's still have some catching up to do, but guess what? It's still anypony's game!" said Flare. "Will the Pie's be able to win? We'll be right back after these messages!"

While the messages were going on, the Sparkle family was talking. "Great job guys!" said Night Light. "We might win this whole thing!"

"How many points do we have to win?" asked Mrs. Sparkle.

"I think 400." said Cadance.

"We have 399 points guys!" said Twilight. "One more point and we win!" They all cheered.

Meanwhile with the Pie's. "Guys, we're totally losing!" said Blinkie.

"You think?" said Inkie.

"Don't give up guys!" said Clyde. "We have to think! 400 points to win. Flare doubled the points in the last round. If he says it's still anypony's game, he might triple the points!"

"Will we still win?" asked Sue.

"Let's wait and see!" said Clyde.

Meanwhile in the dressing room. Flare was getting ready for the third round.

"This game show idea is going great dude!" said Spike. "Twilight's family is totally gonna win!"

"Not so fast brutha!" said Flare. "I'm tripling the points the next round. The Pie's can still win!"

"Wanna bet on it?" asked Spike.

"You bet sonny boy!" said Flare, and they shook hooves / hands.

The commerical break was over, and the the crowd was cheering. "Kay thanks for waiting, welcome back to the Feud!" said Flare. "We have the Sparkle's in the lead with 399 points. Gimmie the dads!" The dads from each family came up and they shook hooves. "You Pie's should be able to catch up! 'Cause I'm tripling the points! We have eight answers on the board. Name a popular unicorn spell!"

"We're doomed." said Blinkie.

Night Light pressed the buzzard first. "Daddy!" said Flare.

"Too late Pinkie. The board buzzed. It's over." said Blinkie.

"No it's not, sister!" said Flare. "She was able to answer the question as the board buzzed. She said my favorite spell! I wonder if it's up there. Is SHOOP DA WHOOP up there?" The number 8 answer was SHOOP DA WHOOP, worth 1 point, but tripled to 3. Since the Pie's answered the question, they steal the points and are tied with the Sparkles with 399. "WHOA!

Cadance hit the buzzard first. "Flare's Pizza Parlor, of course!" she said.

"That must be it!" said Flare. "Flare's Pizza Parlor!" The board buzzed. "Alright Sue, it's your chance to steal the game!"

"Sugarcube Corner! That's where my darling Pinkie works!" said Sue.

"Sugarcube Corner?" said Flare. Then answer revealed to be Sugarcube Corner, which was worth 1 point, which gave the Pie's a total to 400 points. The Pie family cheers, because they won the game.

"AND THEY DID IT!" cried Flare. "Our first champions on Family Feud! The Pie family!" Flare walks over to the Sparkle family and shakes their hooves. "Hey great job guys! You did awesome possum! I'm sorry, you did your best!"

"It's okay Flare." said Twilight. "It's only a game."

"Good to hear you're positive about this! Way to be a great sport, sister!" said Flare.

"Thank you Flare." said Twilight.

"Thanks for coming Sparkle family! At least you're on TV." said Flare.

"Thanks for having us join, Flare!" said Mrs. Sparkle.

"Yeah it was fun!" said Night Light.

"EVERYPONY WAIT!" cried Flare. "The Pie family maybe won, and they win 400 bits and a coupon book for Flare's Pizza Parlor. But we need to see if they'll win 20,000 bits! It's called Fast Money! Two members of the Pie family will be able to answer a few trivia questions with a time limit. Pick your two smartest Pie's Pie family! We'll be right back after these messages!"

The commerical break goes by, and the two Pie's were selected. "Welcome back to Family Feud brahs!" said Flare. "I have Inkie Pie with me to answer the first few questions. Pinkie is back stage, she can't see nor hear anything." Pinkie tries to peek, but then Spike slaps her hoof away.

"So what do I have to do dude?" asked Inkie.

"It's quite simple sister."said Flare. "I'm gonna ask you five questions, and you need to answer them. You need 200 points to win the game. If you can't find an answer, just say 'pass', and I'll ask the next question, we'll come back to it. 20 seconds on the clock. Are you ready?"

"Yes." said Inkie.

"The clock will start after I read you the first question." said Flare. "Name a type of animal that lives with Fluttershy."

"Bunnies." said Inkie.

"Name a city in Equestria." said Flare.

"Manehatten." said Inkie.

"Name a part of your body." said Flare.

"Brain." said Inkie.

"Name a subject in school." said Flare.

"Math." said Inkie.

"Name a favorite Pony holiday." said Flare.

"Hearth's Warming." said Inkie. A bell dinged in the background.

"Alright Inkie, let's see how many points you earned in this round." said Flare, turning to the board with Inkie with his hoof around her. "I said name an animal that lives with Fluttershy, you said... Bunnies. Survey says..." The board shows 26 points. Inkie cheered. "I said name a city in Equestria, you said, Manehatten. Survey says..." The board shows 17 points. "I said name a part of your body, you said, brain. Survey says..." The board shows 9 points. "I said name a subject in school, you said, Math. I less then three that subject. It's pretty simple. Even though they say history is fun. I didn't do so good in history..."

"Just continue." said Inkie.

"Right." said Flare. "Survey says..." The board shows 29 points. "I said name a favorite pony holiday, you said, Hearth's Warming. That's my favorite holiday. Survey says..." The board shows 62 points. Everypony cheered. The total points was 143. "Alright everypony! It should be simple getting 200 points now! Go ahead Inkie, return to your family. Bring me Pinkie!" Pinkie rides out into stage on a unicycle. Everypony laughed. "Nice Pinkie!"

"Did my sister to get 200 points?" asked Pinkie.

"No, but she did great!" said Flare. "She bought you up to 143 points, and you need 200 to win!"

"Well, duh!" said Pinkie. "My sister Inkie is the smartest one in the family!"

"Alright Pinkie." said Flare. "I'm gonna ask you the same five questions, you can't duplicate the answer."

"What does duplicate mean?" asked Pinkie.

"It means you can't copy the same answer." said Flare. "If you do, you'll hear this sound..." a buzz was sounded in the background. "... and I'll say try again, and you'll give me another answer. If you can't figure out the answer you can say pass, and we'll come back to it. I'm gonna be nice and put 25 seconds on the clock."

"Aw that's so nice, Flare!" said Pinkie, hugging Flare.

"Lion face." said Flare. "The clock will start after I read the first question. Name a type of animal that lives with Fluttershy."

"Bunnies." said Pinkie. A buzz is heard in the background.

"Try again." said Flare.

"Ducks." said Pinkie.

"Name a city in Equestria." said Flare.

"Duh! Ponyville!" said Pinkie.

"Name a part of your body." said Flare.

"Your stomach!" said Pinkie.

"Name a subject in school." said Flare.

"Lunch time!" said Pinkie.

"Name a favorite Pony holiday." said Flare.

"Nightmare Night!" said Pinkie. "All the free candy!" A bell dinged in the background. Flare and Pinkie face the board, and Flare has his hoof around Pinkie.

"Alright Pinkie, you need 57 points to win." said Flare. "I said name a type of animal that lives with Fluttershy, you said, Ducks."

"I said bunnies first." said Pinkie.

"Yeah, but you duplicated it, so I had to say try again." said Flare. "Survey says..." The board shows 3 points. "It's okay. You can still make it. Heart was the number one answer. I said name a city in Equestria, you said, Ponyville. This is a town, not a city, just to let you know. Survey says..." The board shows 6 points. "Canterlot was the number one answer. I said name a part of your body, you said, stomach. Survey says..." The board shows 14 points. "The number one answer was heart."

"Aww the heart! Pefect for Hearts and Hooves day!" said Pinkie.

"Speaking of that, do you have a special somepony?" asked Flare.

"Not yet!" said Pinkie.

"Kay kay." said Flare. "I said name a subject in school, you said, lunch time. That's my favorite subject too! Even though it's not a real subject, I don't care! Survey says..." The board shows 9 points. "Math was the number one answer. I said name your favorite pony holiday, you said, Nightmare Night. You need 25 points to win the 20,000 bits. Survey says..." The board shows 24 points.

"OOOOOOOOOOH!" everypony said.

"OH SO CLOSE!" cried Pinkie.

"199 points Pinks! Not bad! You did great!" said Flare.

"But we lost!" cried Pinkie.

"No you didn't." said Flare, then he turns to the audience. "The number one answer was Hearth's Warming. Don't think this is over! The Pie family will have a chance to win another 20,000 bits next time! Since they win the game, they'll return! Thank you for joining us in our brand new show, Family Feud! Kay thanks bye!" Everypony cheers.

"And cut!" said Bon Bon, turning off the camera. Derpy flies up to her mane and cuts it.

"There we go! You look beautiful!" said Derpy.

"DERPY!" cried Bon Bon.

Meanwhile at Flare's Pizza Parlor, everypony was having some pizza after the show. "Great work Sparkles! I hope a free pizza is good enough!" said Flare.

"Thanks buddy!" said Shining.

"Yeah this pizza is the best!" said Cadance.

"WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!" cried Pinkie, hopping around.

"Calm down Pinkie." said Flare. "The Sparkles are here, no need to let it in their faces."

"Sorry Twilight's family!" said Pinkie.

"It's okay. No problem." Twilight's family said.

"So... if the Pie family is coming back, what about Twilight's family?" asked Spike.

"Spike my friend, the show's policy is after you lose you can't come back to the show." said Flare. "But don't worry, they were on TV! Think of the positives!"

"So which family is Pinkie's family gonna be versusing next?" asked Twilight.

"Hmmm... forty five degree angle mouth face." Flare thought.
