Chapter 2

One week ago…

It was a Saturday afternoon. After a long week of school, the Mane 6's anticipation for the tournament was unbearable. After going home to get their things, they went to their rendezvous point which was obviously the abandoned building they fixed up for their wrestling matches. Twilight got there first (punctual as usual) and waited for the others to show up. Once they did show up, Twilight told them to proceed to the office and wait. She said she had to get a few things. So Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy waited in the office for about ten minutes in silence, until Rainbow Dash finally spoke up.

Rainbow: "What's taking Twilight so long?!" Rainbow Dash shouted in frustration.

Rarity: "She said something about getting something for the tournament."

Fluttershy: "Um…speaking of which, how is this tournament suppose to work?" asked Fluttershy.

Rarity: "I think twilight is going to supply us with that answer when she gets back."

Applejack: "If she ever gets back." Applejack commented.

Pinkie Pie continues to spin around in her rotating chair while she spoke. "IF she doesn't come back, can I have her little brother?!" asked Pinkie Pie.

Fluttershy: "Why would you want Spike?" asked Fluttershy nervously.

Pinkie Pie stops spinning. "Duh! So I can practice my wrestling moves on him! I'm sure he doesn't mind." Pinkie Pie said with a grin.

Rarity: "I think Twilight does though…"

Pinkie: "That's not fair! Why can't I have a little brother to practice with?!" Pinkie Pie complained with crossed arms.

Rainbow: "Because Twilight is saner than you." Rainbow Dash thought while rolling her eyes.

Pinkie Pie: "Hey! I'm not nutty! I'm funny! There's a difference Dashie." Pinkie Pie said with a serious expression on her face.

Rainbow Dash had a look of confusion on her face. "How did you-"

Rainbow Dash was interrupted by the sound of the office door opening so she quickly shrugged of her question. Twilight came into the office with both arms full. She was holding a large top hat in her left arm and was holding a stack of notebook paper in her right arm. Twilight then proceeded to the desk and put her stuff on in before sitting down in her business chair that was placed behind the desk.

Applejack: "Uh…Twi? What's all this?"

Twilight: "This, Applejack, is the stuff we will be using for the tournament."

Rainbow: "So…How is this tournament going to work Twilight?" asked Rainbow Dash.

Twilight: "I'm so glad you asked Rainbow!" Twilight stated cheerfully.

Twilight put the top hat and the stack of notebook paper before continuing.

Twilight: "Well, using this book called Amateur Professional Wrestling Rules and Regulations, I have compiled a way to make this tournament work out fairly, even with the improper amount of competitors we have that will be partaking in this championship.

Applejack: "Then lay it on us."

Twilight: "Ok, the first phase of the championship tournament will consist of three one-on-one matches. The rules for each one-on-one match are fairly standard: Victory via pinfall or submission with no tapouts, no countouts, and pinfalls and submissions only count inside the ring. Then, the winner of each one-on-one match will proceed to the final three-way match. The three-way match, which would most commonly be a standard match in which the winner would be the one who gets the first fall, but instead this three-way match will be more of an elimination match with the same standard rules of the previous one-on-one matches, but with a small hitch. Basically, the three competitors will wrestle each other and the one who gets pinned or submits first will be eliminated from the match and will have to leave the ring afterward. Afterward the remaining two competitors will wrestle, and the one who gets the second fall or submission on their opponent will be the winner and will be given the belt and the title of The Canterlot Diva's Central Champion. That just about sums it up." Twilight looked around. "Everybody understand?" Twilight asked.

They absorbed this information given to them until they came to a response.

Rarity: "Seems pretty clear-cut to me."

Fluttershy: "I guess so."

Rainbow: "Sounds cool to me."

Applejack: "I ain't gotta problem."

Pinkie Pie paused for a second. "I'm still kind of iffy on the rules…"

Twilight: "Oh. Uh…would you like me to repeat that?" Twilight asked.

Pinkie: "Don't worry about it Twilight. If I get confused, I'll just read it again from the fanfiction page."

Twilight: "What?"

Pinkie: "What?"

After a couple of awkward minutes of silence, Fluttershy finally spoke up.

Fluttershy: "Since we went over the rules, can you tell us what the hat and paper is for, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight: "Oh! This is for the drawing." Twilight answered.

Applejack: "Drawin?"

Twilight: "Yeah. We each take a piece of paper and write our names on it. Next we crumple up each of our pieces of paper and put it in the hat. Then I cover the hat with another piece of paper and shuffle the crumpled balls of paper around inside. Finally, after giving it a good shuffle, I will take out two balls of paper at random and read the names from them. The names on those two pieces of paper will face each other in one of the one-on-one matches in the first phase of the tournament."

Rarity: "Twilight, darling, I'm not calling you a cheat, but how can we be sure the pick will be random?"

Twilight: "That won't be a problem. Because I am going to pull out the names really fast."

Rainbow Dash shrugged. "Better than nothing."

Applejack: "I'd say that's about as random as it's gonna get."

Rarity nodded in silence, seemingly satisfied with the answer along with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

Twilight: "Great!"

The Mane 6 proceeded to write their names on pieces of the notebook paper that Twilight had supplied for them. Then, they crumpled up their papers into balls and placed them into the hat. Afterward, Twilight placed another piece of notebook paper over the opening of the hat and started to shake it vigorously. After two minutes of vigorous shaking, Twilight set the hat down on the desk.

Twilight: "So…Who's ready for the official drawing for the first three matches of the Canterlot Diva's Central Championship?!"

Everyone: "YEAH!"

Fluttershy: "Um…maybe?" Fluttershy said nervously.

Twilight: "Ok, then let's get started."

Twilight (without looking) quickly takes out two balls of crumpled paper and starts to unravel them.

Twilight: "Ok, the 1st match of the Canterlot Diva's Central Championship will be…FLUTTERSHY vs. RAINBOW DASH!

Fluttershy: *eeeep* "I'm gonna die." Fluttershy thought panickingly.

Rainbow: "Aw yeah! Hey Fluttershy! Don't go easy on me 'cuz there's no way I'm holding back!"

Fluttershy Fainted. *THUD*

Rarity: "Oh my!"

Rainbow: "Well…this won't take long." Rainbow dash thought with boredom.

Twilight: "Ok then. Let's start the drawing for the next match, shall we?"

Twilight proceeded to draw two more names from the hat as Rarity goes to try and revive her unconscious friend.

Twilight: "Ok, let's see. The 2nd match of the Canterlot Diva's Central Championship will be…PINKIE PIE vs. RARITY!

Rarity snaps her head in Pinkie Pie's direction and accidentally drops the revived Fluttershy (who is now unconscious again) in shock.

Rarity: "What?!"

Pinkie Pie starts to vibrate. "YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Pinkie Pie then proceeds to tackle Rarity to the ground in a hug.

Pinkie Pie looks up at Rarity. "Don't go easy on me!" Pinkie Pie says with a wide smile.

Rarity slowly pats her on the head. "Uh…of course darling…"Rarity said uncomfortably.

Twilight: "Well now that that's out of the way, let's proceed to the drawing of the-"

Applejack: "Hey, Twi?" Applejack interrupted.

Twilight: "Yes Applejack?"

Applejack: "If we're the only ones left, what's the point a draw-"

Twilight: "It's in the book, Applejack. It's the rule." Twilight said cutting her off.

Applejack: "But-"

Twilight: "IT'S THE RULE!" Twilight yelled with a scary expression on her face.

Applejack took a couple of steps back while holding up her hands in surrender. "Am sorry. My bad."

Twilight calmed down. "Thank you very much."

Twilight pulled out the last two names from the hat and began to read them.

Twilight: "OK! The 3rd and final match of the Canterlot Diva's Central Championship is…APPLEJACK vs. TWILIGHT SPARKLE!

Pinkie: *GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP*

Applejack: "Yup. Didn't see THAT one comin." said Applejack sarcastically.

Twilight ignored her comment. "Well, I am still looking forward to a good and friendly fight with you and I wish you the best of luck!" Twilight extended her hand to Applejack.

Applejack shook the hand. "And best a luck to you too Twilight!"

Applejack broke the handshake and embraced Twilight in a hug. Then she whispered in her ear. "Y'all gonna need it."

Twilight: "Likewise" Twilight said with a devilish grin.

Pinkie Pie suddenly tackled both Applejack and Twilight into a hug. "I want to whisper smack talk too." whispered Pinkie Pie.

After prying Pinkie Pie off of them, Twilight continued on.

Twilight: "Onto other business, we need commentators for the commentator's table. We can all take turns being the commentators, and since me and Applejacks' match will be the last one we can be the commentators first." Twilight looked at Applejack. "Is that ok with you Applejack?" asked Twilight.

Applejack: "Sure. Why not?"

Twilight nodded. "Good. But we will also need someone to referee the first match, and the referee should be someone who hasn't previously wrestled with either of the competitors in order to avoid biased results." Twilight stated.

Pinkie Pie started to jump up and down, raising and shaking her arm. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick ME! I wanna referee the match!" Pinkie Pie begged.

Twilight: "Why?"

Pinkie: "Because Fluttershy and Dashie are two of my bestest friends in the whole world, and I wouldn't be able to choose between the two of them so I am the perfect referee for this match. Also I like slapping my hand on the mat because it helps me practice for that Whack-A-Mole Game in the arcade. Everybody knows it's easier to whack the moles with your hands than a mallet. But wait! Isn't that cheating?! Or is it cheating if someone else catches you cheating? But wait! I would know I was cheating! Maybe I'll catch myself cheating and turn myself in! But I wouldn't do that to me, would I? Unless I-"

Everyone: "PINKIE!"

Pinkie: "Yes?" Pinkie Pie said batting her eyes.

Twilight sighed. "Ok, Pinkie. You can ref the first match."

Pinkie: "Yay!"

Twilight: "BUT, when you do ref the match please don't count too fast when someone is being pinned. Just go at moderate speed. Promise?"

Pinkie: "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

Pinkie Pie then proceeded to (somehow) sneak into my house and steal the cupcake I was eating while writing this fanfiction, go back, and smashed it against her left eye.

Twilight: "Well that settles it then."

Rainbow: "So, we start the tournament know?" asked Rainbow Dash.

Twilight: "No."

Rainbow: "Whadda you mean no?!" raged Rainbow Dash.

Twilight: "Well, for starters we haven't practiced that much lately and we have to get everybody a chance to practice a little bit before the tournament."

Rarity: "And I haven't completely finished your attire yet."

The recently revived Fluttershy chimed in as well. "Some of us also have to study for the math test next Monday."

Rainbow Dash groaned in defeat. "Uuugh…fine!"

Applejack: "So when's the actual tournament gonna start?"

Twilight: "I guess next week."

Rainbow Dash groaned again.

Applejack: "Aw don't sweat it Rainbow. You'll live."

Rainbow: "Unless I die of boredom beforehand…" Rainbow Dash grumbled to herself.

Twilight: "Then it's settled. The tournament officially starts next Saturday."

Everyone: "OK."

Eventually Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack left for home. Before Fluttershy and Twilight left, though, Pinkie Pie told them that she was going to stay for a while.

Twilight: "Ok Pinkie, but make sure you lock up before you go, alright?"

Pinkie Pie: "Okey Dokey Wokey!"

Fluttershy and Twilight then left the premises while Pinkie Pie stayed behind to try to lick the leftover cupcake icing from her left eye with her tongue."

Not bad? Could be better? I hope my story so far is twisting your perceptions in life into a new and more exciting reality. I must leave now to get a new cupcake and plot my revenge on Ms. Pie. Farewell.
