Trixie: Hello every pony and welcome to the final part of episode five! Where this time, I will be the one introducing the dares and other such things. Mainly since Zeke couldn't make it on account of a dare. Speaking of, let's see just what that dare is!

Sent in from dazza the lucario: I dare you to ride pinkie in a non sexual way but before you do feed her 1000 storm cloud cupcakes

Trixie: Hahaha... Glad I picked that dare... Oh! Speaking of, Trixie thinks that now would be time to explain something. You see, each chapter Trixie will pick two dares and Zeke will choose two dares. And it'll alternate like that. Now Trixie knows what you're all thinking 'Guess I'll just make dares that either hurt Zeke or the Great and Powerful Trixie and they'll take those!'

Trixie: Well... no. We're going to limit ourselves with that to keep the intro from just being a war. Though, he deserves this one for stuffing Trixie on a plane while she was asleep... *Dino whimpers in the corner, feeling guilty* Don't worry Dino, Trixie is not mad at you. Especially since you at least landed the plane normally.

Trixie: Anyway, let's check on Pinkie and Zeke and see just how they're doing so far!

*Uses author power to create a vision, showing Pinkie running faster than a Sonic Rainboom. With a giant clear inflatable ball on her back, which Zeke was stuck in*

Trixie: We originally tried to just have Zeke ride Pinkie as she was running, but since he couldn't even stay on her back, this was Trixie's back-up plan. Zeke! How are you doing?!

Zeke: I! *flies into side of the ball* HATE! *flies into opposite side* YOU! *Flies onto roof of the inflatable ball* TRIXIE! *flies into bottom of the ball*

Pinkie: OHBOYTHISISSOMUCHFUN! WAIT! ICAMEUPWITHAGREATIDEA! ZEKE,LET'SGODOWNTHEGRANDCANYON!

Zeke: WHAT?! NO! *But Pinkie couldn't hear her as she went twice as fast as before, making Zeke go all over the place inside the ball before thee vision faded away*

Trixie: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now this seems about even! Dear readers, please send in more things like this! Trixie's sure that tons of you are going to send ways to harm me as well, but please add in a few ways for Trixie to get back at Zeke every once in a while! This can only get better and better!

Trixie: But before we do the second dare, let's go ahead and do the top comments!

3: Christ's Disciple.

Trixie: Worse than Derpy?! Well if that's the case, then good luck ever coming near Trixie's stage. Last time Derpy got near my stage the sparklers set the curtains on fire. She was very lucky that Trixie was pre-occupied at gawking towards the flames of my stage.

Trixie: Also, the Great and Powerful Trixie is going to love using that dare against Zeke. The humiliation of it would be so hilarious! But Trixie will have replace the hyenas with Timberwolves. You know, as a nice MLP touch.

2: Pesoen.

Trixie: Well the reasoning behind that is, the writers (Being just Zeke since Trixie never gets any input) decided to try and use auto-correct on FanFiction, then correct the story further on Word Document. The reason they (Trixie is only really using 'they' to make this sound more professional) didn't do this before is because it always takes around ten minutes to set it up. Not because it's slow, but instead because it's messed up. Though we found a way around it, and will continue to correct it like that.

Trixie: Also, why are winking at me?!... Oh, the picture right *ahem* sorry. Final Comment!

1: Swift Lighting.

Trixie: Well that might be easy for you, but remember that Zeke can't really do that. His arm remember? Yeah, can't play a good game of SSBB without a well working arm.

Trixie: Still though, it's very easy if you have magic. Then it's possible to use the controllers with your magic instead. And the controllers are cordless. Only... We never had the interest of creating video games because not every pony has magic of course. And the jury's still out on how to create a hoof-friendly game console.

Trixie: Alright, with that all done, let's go ahead and wrap this up with the second dare!

Sent in from PrinceBlackFire116: I have a dare for you in the intro. I dare you to adopt a baby bear that thinks he's part ninja.

Trixie: A-a baby bear that thinks he's a ninja?... Why should Trixie even consider doing such ridiculous dare- *At that moment, a literal stork flew in and landed a blanket in front of Trixie before flying away* What in the name of Equestria?...

*Trixie goes over and carefully takes the blanket off, revealing a baby bear with a ninja mask on. He also had a wooden katana with him*

Trixie: Oh my... It's...This thing is...Adorable...

Ninja Bear: *jumps up and hugs Trixie* Mommy!

Trixie: Awwwwww, how cute! It thinks that I'm... HIS MOM?! U-uh... WHAT?! *camera starts to fade away* Wait a second, I never agreed to this! No matter how cute this bear is, I can't be his mom!

*chapter begins to start*

Trixie: Wait, you can't simply just begin the chapter like this! WAIT!

Intro Area Decorations to Date: A very realistic sky with a sun in the middle, A baby pony-sized T-Rex with a top hat named Dino, the TARDIS, a giant golden statue of Stepony (Pony Stephano) who is wearing a Trixie shirt, a silver Lucario statue standing right next to Stepony, and a baby ninja bear with a ninja mask and wooden katana who has yet to be named.

Disclaimer (As told by Trixie): Zeke does not own MLP. All he owns is this idea, Blitz, Dino, RJ, Jumpy, and anything else that he's personally created throughout the story. That not including the three background characters that belong to three of the readers that read this story!

Twelve Year Old Zeke's POV

As I stood there awkwardly, seeing all of their faces being pure shock, I remained silent. And as I went from one face to the other, hoping for one of their expressions to show something other than shock, it was all the same expression. Shock.

Even if it was confusion, or pity, I wouldn't care. Heck, I would settle for them to at least start yelling at me, telling me to go back home before I did anything else. But all they did was continue to gawk at me and the monstrous strength I had. Maybe if I was like twenty or something I could just pass it off as some kind of party trick, but as a twelve year old? Not a chance.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of silent judging, I spotted the Foreman's face. But to my surprise, it wasn't fear. Instead, it was somewhere along the lines of thinking. No fear or shock, just... thought.

"I'm... I'm sorry... I'll just go now. Forget I said anything about the noise." I said, starting to walk away.

But when I started to walk by the Foreman, he put a hand on my shoulder to stop me from leaving. I thought that he was about to yell at me or something, but instead he just started laughing.

"Now that, right there, was awesome!" He admitted, acting as if I wasn't a freak or anything at all like that.

And right when he said that, the rest of them started to applaud what I had done. Just as amazed as the Foreman for me doing what I did. This making me really confused.

"I-I don't get it. I just punched a nail into some wood! Why are you all cheering about that?" I asked. I basically did the most unsuspecting thing possible, yet they were acting as if I was some kind of performer.

"Because kid! You just punched a nail into some wood! I haven't seen someone do something that great before! Not to mention, a kid did it no less!" He kept going, laughing his heart out at how great it all was. "That was great!" He added.

I looked around to see that all the others were actually just as impressed, either laughing at how funny it seemed that a kid punched a nail in, or cheering at something that was just so great.

"Yeah... Yeah, that was pretty great wasn't it?!" I said, starting to appreciate what I had done myself. "It was really great! I put a nail into some wood like some kinda a gun!" I said, boasting a little about it.

"Now come on kid, don't get a big head." The Foreman said, calming down just like the rest of them. "That was just one nail."

"Then I'll put in like forty-four more!" I said, starting to gloat a little too much. And I think that throwing punches into the air with my metal fist might've been too much.

"Hold on there now kid." He said coming over before I did just that. "Whether you put in one or one-hundred, you can't just gloat about it. A big ego isn't going to help when doing something like building houses." He told me.

"Why not?! I mean, it's not like I have anything else I can be happy about!" I told him, angry that he was saying that I couldn't brag about the only thing I was good at.

"Yeah, but that's not the point. The thing is, there isn't a point in gloating about it for two reasons. One, gloating never helped anything. It just led to something bad. And two, builders don't have anything to gloat about." He told me, looking dead serious.

"What? But... What do you mean? You guys work with giant trucks and power tools. What's not to gloat about?" I asked, confused about it. Besides having to work outside in freezing cold and unbearable heat, along with possibly getting hurt, building stuff sounded kinda cool.

"That's just it. There is nothing to gloat about. Sure, you can go up to someone and go, 'I built a house!' But it doesn't really matter. We might build the houses, but we don't get any recognition or reward for it. At least, other than our pay that is." He explained.

"You're never even mentioned? Not even a thank you?" I asked.

"Nope. We build a house, we move on. If you ask me, a builder is a humble job. We do what's necessary for others to survive by giving them shelter. All while staying in the shadows. Never getting any recognition what-so-ever." He told me, kind of sounding like a philosopher.

"So tell me kid," He started, looking at me. "does boasting about something you don't get acknowledged for really worth it?" He asked, looking at me seriously.

"No... Not really..." I answered, getting his point. "But if no one cares about what you do, then why do you do it?" I asked, wanting to know. I mean, why would someone want to do something where they never get any recognition, no matter how much work they do?

"Someone has to do it right?" He asked, that one answer being so simple. I knew that a job "And besides, we'll know that someone appreciates what we did. Even if they don't care who we are." He answered. "Still, doesn't mean we can't make a joke every once in a while. This is why we come up with the stupid nicknames. Right guys?" He asked, looking at Driller and Crowbar.

"Yeah!" Driller answered. "So if this little guy is gonna be considered part of the platoon, then what should we call him?" He asked, kind of speaking like he was in the military now that he finally said more than just a few words.

"Call me?" I said, confused. "I told you all. My name's Zeke."

"Not what we meant. A nickname. You know, like those two." He said, gesturing to Driller and Crowbar. "We call him Driller because he acts like a Drill Sargent sometimes. And Crowbar gets his name because of how old he looks." He asked me.

And looking at Crowbar, I realized that he did look kind of old. Older than all the other builders around here.

"Oh, I get it now! So what's my name?! Iron Arm?! Metal Gear?!" I asked, thinking of the video game right away. "Oh, what about Electric Blitz?!" I asked, that one being the next one that came to my head.

"Electric Blitz? How does that work?" Foreman asked, laughing at the name.

"It sounds cool!" I said, liking the name more and more now that I thought about it. Why, I don't really know. Still, sounded cool to me!

"Well now that you mention it, that name is kind of cool..." Foreman agreed with a nod, making me think that he was gonna let me keep it. "Nah, you need something else." He said, ignoring the names I came up with.

"What?! How's come I can't have that for a name?!" I asked, mad that he just threw my name off to the side like it was a complete waste.

"Well that's obvious kid! It's because you're not that cool!" Foreman said, laughing his head off once he said that to me so casually.

"What do you mean I'm not cool?! You just said that it was great how I just punched a nail into the wood! How is that not cool?!" I asked, angry about what he just said.

"Give him something that's humiliating." Ruler commanded, not making it sound like a choice. Guess that's why they called him Ruler.

"Wait, I got it!" Crowbar said with a snicker. "Little Nail!"

"LITTLE NAIL?!" I questioned him in anger, glaring at him because of how stupid a name he gave me. Who in the world would think that's a good name?!

"Perfect! Little Nail it is!" Foreman agreed with a laugh. The others laughing right along with him.

"Why me?..." I muttered, not able to believe that I got such a stupid name.

"Well, go on Little Nail! You want to keep helping with the nails, right?" He asked with a grin.

I perked up from that though, definitely wanting to help with that. "YES!" I answered quickly, wanting to help.

"Then hurry up! You got some nails to punch!" He said, pointing towards one of the walls.

I hurried up and ran over, happy to help build something. And even though I wasn't going to get any credit for it, and I was without a doubt going to get in trouble for leaving the house, I didn't care. Even though I was just twelve years old and almost never did anything like this before now, it almost felt like I was a natural at it. And that this is what I was supposed to do. As if it was my destiny or something. And yes, I know that sounded so stupidly cheesy. But, I didn't really have any other way to put it

Current Blitz's POV

"And from that day till even after coming to Ponyville, I still am doing what I did all that time ago. Building what others need. Even if I don't get any credit for it at all." I concluded, actually thinking that the story was pretty good. I mean, I'm sure that Rainbow Dash and the other's Cutie Mark stories were probably better than mine by a mile, but at least mine wasn't all that bad.

But of course that wasn't what the three of them thought because as I looked at them to see their reactions, all I got was laughing.

"Little Nail?! What kinda name is Little Nail?!" Applebloom asked as she was rolling on the floor in laughter like the others.

"Oh, this is just too rich! Wait until Rainbow Dash hears about this!" Scootaloo said in uncontrollable laughter as she just kept pounding the floor around her in hopes to stop laughing so much. Luckily, she wasn't hitting any of the secret panels on the ground that activated something in the room.

"Is that really all you guys got from my story?!" I asked, getting a little ticked about that. I mean, the first time I tell a meaningful story and no pony even pays attention to the important parts.

"Imagine Blitz being called Little Nail right now! It's so funny, I think I'm gonna burst with laughter!" Sweetie Belle said, making all three of them laugh even more at me.

"I can't stop laughing cause it sounds so funny! I mean, I don't even think Pinkie Pie could come up with a name like that!" She said, desperately trying to stop laughing.

"Great, I'm being laughed at by three little girls..." I muttered, now knowing what it feels like to have what little amount of ego you had taken away and replaced with embarrassment. And to tell the truth, it felt just as bad as a buck to the gut.

"Well what'd ya expect Blitz? With a name like Little Nail, ya should kinda expect something." Applebloom asked as she started to get up, getting most of her act back together while the other two were just dying on the floor.

Not having a good way to come back from that, I simply took another sip of my hot chocolate to try and avoid the question.

"I did have another question though." Sweetie Belle said, standing up next to Applebloom. Not really laughing all that much anymore. "You said that some humans don't even find out their special talents a lot of the time. And if they do, they don't follow what they're good at. Why's that exactly? Isn't it important to find out who you are and do what you're good at?" She asked.

"Well yeah, but that's just it. Earth isn't really like Equestria. You need to work to make a living. And since some special talents aren't that easy to follow, we can't pursue them. So we get stuck having to do a job that we're not good at." I explained, trying to choose the most honest and less detailed answer I could think of.

"So..." Scootaloo started, getting up finally. "Does that mean you like it here better than your world?" She asked.

All I could do was smile at that question, already having a clear answer. "Yeah. I like it here. It lets you do what you love doing instead of having to do something you hate doing. Even if I'm a little different from every pony else." I answered.

But not wanting to talk about this much longer, I spoke up. "So, you three want to try your hoof at trying to earn your Cutie Marks with human games?" I asked them, keeping the smile.

"YES!" They all yelled out, wanting so much to play the 'human games' I had with me.

"I wanna try the darts!" Scootaloo yelled out.

"I want to play pool!" Applebloom answered.

"And I... I want to... Uh, play pool too!" Sweetie Belle added, not knowing what else she could do around here to earn her Cutie Marks.

"Alright well, I guess I can let you three play those games. I'll help set em up." I told them all as I went to the dart board first, lowering the board so Scootaloo could actually have a shot at it. Along with lowering the pool table too so Applebloom and Sweetie Belle could reach the top without having to jump on it.

And after getting everything set up for them, along with showing Applebloom and Sweetie Belle how play pool, they started playing the games in hope of earning their Cutie Marks.

Not three minutes later though did they mess up on the pool table and dartboard. Applebloom made the billiards bounce off the table, one almost hitting me in the process. Sweetie Belle didn't hit them strong enough, so none of them landed in the whole.

And as for Scootaloo well... "YEEEEOOOUUUUCCCHHHHHH!" I yelled out as a dart hit me in the side of my flank. Right in the middle of the gear of my Cutie Mark. And good Celestia did that hurt!

"Oops! Sorry Blitz!" She apologized, putting the other darts down.

I pulled out the dart that hit me, holding back any tears, flinching, or pain that came from it. "Well, that's one target." I joked, all of them laughing at that. At least they weren't all that bad. I mean sure they were clumsy, but they had good intentions. Even though it led to some pony possibly getting hurt, they didn't mean it.

Sadly enough, they hadn't discovered their talents yet. To tell the truth though, I don't know what they might be good at either. I tried asking the others stuff like this whenever we weren't doing anything, but every time I asked them they looked at me with some confusion. All of them always saying the same thing:

'You mean you don't know?'

That made me guess that it was pretty obvious, but I just didn't know since I almost never spoke with them. But seeing them now, I can see why they would all know what the talents were but not tell them. It's supposed to be like a scavenger hunt. If you know where everything is, or how to get it in this case, then it's not half as fun as it would be to finding it.

Guess I'm just as clueless as them. Oh well! At least I'll be just as surprised as them when they find out what they're good at! Making it all the more interesting!

Next Morning

As I started waking up from the couch, sleeping there since I didn't want any of the CMC to have an excuse to go in my room, I rubbed my only good eye and sat up.

The very second my vision wasn't blurry though, there was a knock at the door.

"We'll get it!" I heard three voices call out as I got up from the couch. Still moving pretty slow since I just got up.

As soon as I got near the door, the three CMC got there right before me, each of them wearing little bow ties matching their manes and acting as polite as possible.

"Blitz, how about a deal?" Applebloom asked with a smirk.

I only rose my eyebrow in curiosity. "What about?" I asked, a yawn keeping me from saying anything else.

"We won't tell any pony about yer nickname, if'n ya help keep us from gettin' in trouble." Applebloom said with a smile.

"What?" I asked, a little shocked. Were they really trying to actually weasel their way out of this?! "What makes you think I'm gonna-" But before I could say no, there was the knock at the door.

Scootaloo then opened the door, showing Applejack behind it. Along with RJ and Winona, who were right behind her. "Oh, hey there Applejack. How nice to see you."

"Now don't you three try ta sweet talk yer way outta this one! I specifically told y'all ta stay in the club house all night and what happens? Ya wind up in Everfree Forest, bein' attacked by Timberwolves." She said to them with a disappointed frown. "Rainbow Dash almost freaked when she came by ta get Scootaloo 'fore the storm started." She added.

"We know, and we're really sorry Applejack." Sweetie Belle said with a frown. "We promise that we won't do it again." She told her, sounding sincere.

"Whether ya do or don't, don't expect ta just be off the hook like that." Applejack told them.

"Oh don't worry, Blitz already took care of that." Scootaloo said, looking down.

"Wait, ya did?" Applejack asked, looking at me.

"Yeah. He got us ta cleanin' his whole house-top ta bottom. And wow, does Blitz have a big house!" Applebloom complained.

"That true Blitz?" Applejack asked, unsure about it all.

I just rolled my eyes, not letting them get away with this. "Well actually-" "WOAH!" Scootaloo yelled out, falling to her side.

"Scootaloo!" Applebloom and Sweetie cried out as they ran over.

"Are you okay?!" Sweetie Belle continued to ask.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. For a second I thought about to step on a Little Nail." She said, looking towards me out of the corner of her eye. This making me go wide-eyed for a second, realizing just the amount of blackmail they had on me. "But turns out, it was just some wet grass. Sorry to interrupt you Blitz! As you were saying..." She said, prompting me to go on.

I sighed mentally, knowing that I was in checkmate. I hated that those three managed to not only weasel their way out of this, but they also managed to blackmail me. But at they same time... I felt a little proud of them. Which I should honestly be ashamed of really.

As me and Applejack looked towards them, they were smiling in a way that made you imagine halos forming above them. But the second Applejack looked back towards me, their innocent smiles became sly smirks. This making the halo go away and get replaced by devil horns. Well played girls. Well played.

"As I was saying, I actually had them do a little more than that. They cleaned my house, helped me with a few other chores around the house, and I ended up giving them this long boring lecture about what's dangerous about the Everfree Forest." I said, not able to come up with anything more believable than that since I only had a few seconds, and I was still kinda tired.

"Really, all that happened?" Applejack asked again, not really believing that I did all of that scolding.

"Well, I may have given them some hot chocolate and fixed up Scootaloo's scooter. By the way, you all might want to get it. Along with check to make sure you really did clean the whole house." I told them, using their lie against them.

"Yes Blitz!" Applebloom said, running inside.

"We understand Blitz!" Sweetie Belle said, going back inside as well.

"Oh yeah! Thanks Blitz! Can't wait to do some awesome moves on my scooter!" Scootaloo said as she followed the others back in.

We then laughed a little at their odd amount of happiness for cleaning a house as we watched them go inside. And as soon as they got in the doorway and closed the door to celebrate, Applejack spoke up in an oddly happy tone. "Blitz? What's really goin' on?"

I then answered her with the same amount of out-of-place happiness. "There blackmailing me, the snakes."

"Well don't you worry none, I'll make sure they won't get away with it." She told me with the same happy voice.

"Don't punish them. If you do, then you're not getting away with what you did." I said, all the while talking with a happy tone.

"And what exactly did I do?" She asked, stopping the charade. Of course, I kept the same attitude.

"While at my house, Applebloom told me something you told them." I answered, not looking towards her.

"S-she did? Hehehe... What was it?" She asked, now a little afraid as to what it was.

"Oh, just something about her big sister accidentally saying something about where one of her friends came from. Have any idea what it is?" I asked her, knowing full well that she knew.

She sighed for a few seconds before trying to think of something, but I beat her to it. "You know that all of you Pinkie Promised not to tell any pony. But that's not really my problem. It sounds more like a problem Pinkie should hear herself." I said.

"Woah no partner! Please don't tell Pinkie 'bout that! Last time she thought I broke a Pinkie Promise, she was angrier than a rattler bein' flooded out his own home!" She told me.

"Well..." I contemplated, thinking whether I should tell Pinkie or not. "Okay, I won't. Just be lucky that it actually led to a good thing." I said, being honest.

"Really? How so?" She asked, relieved that I wasn't mad at her.

"Let's just say that the CMC helped me figure something out about my Cutie Mark." I told her, not wanting to bring up the story.

"Funny how they do that huh?" She asked with a smile, apparently speaking from experience.

"Okay, all set!" Scootaloo said, riding out of my house on her scooter. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom in the wagon that was hooked up to the scooter.

"Bye Blitz! Bye Applejack! We're off to do some crusading!" Sweetie Belle said for all of them before turning around and talking to them about what they could try to do next to earn their Cutie Marks.

"Yeah no kidding." I answered, waving bye to the CMC as they left. It was just as Applejack said, it was ironic at how good they were at that. Without even knowing it, they made me figure out just when and how I got my Cutie Mark. And honestly, I couldn't be more grateful for that.
