Greetings. I am Vultarian01. I want to take the time to let us reflect on the horrible tragedy that has befallen this day on the anniversary of September, 11, 2001. It was this day that two planes were hijacked and crashed into the Wold Trade center or the Twin towers if you will. Many innocent people have died in this attack through no fault of their own. Many family members were lost. Many brave firefighters and policemen were also caught in the destruction as they fought to save as many people as they could from the quickly collapsing building. That day was a dark day for America. But we rose from the ashes of this incident and became a much stronger nation than before. We may have lost much in that attack but we have gained something from it as well. A stronger unity. So I would like for everyone who's reading this to take a moment of silence for those who have lost there lives in the attack.

...

...Thank you. Now, I am also dedicating this chapter to the veterans. Those many brave men and women who risk their lives to let us keep our freedoms we have and sometimes even take for granted. So, If there are any veterans reading this...Thank you for protecting our freedom.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of their respective characters. I also do not own Lecrae, Britt Nicole, or Aaron Carter or any of their respective songs.

Chapter 21

Forty-three minutes later…

The lights were dimmed once more as Rainbow Dash turned on all of the stuffed animals. Fluttershy was in the ref's outfit and was standing in the middle of the ring and waiting for the contenders. Pinkie Pie was in the bleachers with Applejack who had a still unconscious Rarity whose head was resting on her lap and the rest of Rarity's body on Pinkie Pie's lap in which Pinkie was using her waist as an elbow rest. Octavia was stationed at the commentator's table on the bell side while Vinyl Scratch was on the other side. Octavia waved to Rainbow Dash for the signal to lower the volume of the cheering stuffed animals so she can speak.

Octavia: "Welcome back ladies and gentlemen for another match, here, on Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling."

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Vinyl Scratch: "And I'm Vinyl Scratch! Now, we actually wanted to be the commentators for the last match but the rainbow and the walking cavity maker beat us to the punch. So we're just gonna have to settle for the match between Twilight Sparkle and Bon Bon.

Octavia: "Do stop being an irritant pain about everything, Vinyl. You're disregard for any respect of this match doesn't reflect well on your ability as a commentator."

Vinyl: "Then stop commentating at ME and do it to the audience, why don't ya?" Vinyl Scratch countered.

Octavia narrowed her eyes and clenched her jaw but quickly retained her composure and continued. "Anyway…this will be a standard match with one fall. However, it will also be the debut match of Bon Bon here on CCPW."

Vinyl: "True, and who better to have as an opponent for her debut match than the easy to beat Twilight Sparkle?"

Octavia: "Well it is true that Twilight has had a rather continuous stream of losses so far, but underestimating your enemy is cause for failure. Even when I fought her she was quite persistent."

Vinyl: "Also true. But I still think Bon Bon's gonna cream her in this match. HA! Get it?! Because, you know cream and candy-

Octavia rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes I get it Vinyl. Now can't we just continue with the show?" Octavia said in an irritated tone.

Vinyl: "I don't know why you're miffed. You're the one who wouldn't stop talking." Vinyl Scratch said as she put her shoes on the table to get a look from Octavia.

Then the lights went dim and the search lights pointed toward the curtains.

*~ Britt Nicole's song "Ready or Not (feat. Lecrae)" resonates throughout the building ~*

Rainbow Dash (Announcer): "What's up wrestling fans?! This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first…Straight out of the Canterlot Local Library…Standing in at "5'8" and weighing in at 125 lbs…The star student of Canterlot High…TWIIILIIIGHT SPAAARKLE!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Twilight Sparkle emerges from the curtain in a confident manner as she pumps her left fist in the air and gives the audience a teethy smile. She then puts her arm down and starts to do a light strut down the runway. Twilight was wearing her regular wrestling attire with her hair in its same style as she made her way down to the ring.

Vinyl Scratch feels her head. "Whoa. I'm getting a serious de ja vu here…"

Octavia: "Well we did commentate on her match with Pinkie Pie. The only difference is that it's only us commentating and Twilight has a different opponent."

Vinyl: "That's true. Well I still stand by my decision of Twilight losing this match!"

Octavia: "You aren't the one who decides whether she wins or loses. That decision will be determined on how Twilight handles herself against Bon Bon. Anyway, why so sure that she will be defeated?"

Vinyl: "Because she doesn't get it! She thinks too much and that just gets her cocky and gets her beat!"

Octavia: "….that IS a valid point. However, with the little talk we had I'm sure she'll come to realize her mistake."

Vinyl: "Yeah…maybe…"

As Twilight approached the ring she grabbed the middle rope and raised it so she could duck under it and enter the ring. She then waved to the audience with both arms as she proceeds to her corner (which from the commentator's point of view was the upper left turnbuckle). Once there she climbed on her turnbuckle until she was standing on the middle rope and pointed in the air with her left hand and pointed her hand at the audience while sweeping it across with her right hand. Twilight then jumped off the turnbuckle and leaned against it to wait for her match to commence.

*~ Aaron Carter's song "I Want Candy" resonates throughout the building ~*

Rainbow Dash (Announcer): "Introducing next…Here for her CCPW debut…Standing in at "5'8" and weighing in at 126 lbs…The cute Candy Crusher…Accompanied by Lyra…BOOON BOOON!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Bon Bon stepped out of the curtain along with her girlfriend Lyra (Who was in her regular attire) and stepped into the spotlight. Lyra was holding Bon Bon's right hand with her left. This time, however, instead of simply raising their hands in the air Lyra raised Bon Bon's hand and spun her into a dip where Lyra kissed a surprised Bon Bon for a few seconds before pulling her back up to her feat. Bon Bon was surprised for a moment but quickly smiled as she and Lyra began to walk hand in hand down the runway. Bon Bon was wearing a long, moderate cobalt blue top. The top covered most of her upper body except for the hole for the neck that exposed the collar bone and a little bit below the back of her neck. The holes for her armpits were close around her arms and the top of the top's straps had fuchsia frills (that came around from the front of the shoulder to the back of the shoulder; forming a frilled hill pointing away from her head). The bottom of the top lengthened down until it passes a thin circled stitching around the bottom part of it located above the belly button and forming into a frill that loosens into a wave like cloth that barely covers her belly button. She was also sporting some fuchsia compression tight shorts that reached down to the middle of her thighs. The sides of the wrestling shorts each had a wide vertical rectangle colored in a darker fuchsia and in them were a vertical line of five wrapped pieces of candy (her cutie mark candies to be exact). She was also wearing some magenta colored boots with maroon lacing and fuchsia soles. The boots lengthened up to the middle of her calves.

Bon Bon was also supplied with thin, black elbow pads and knee pads. Her hair wasn't hanging down as it was held up into a short, curly ponytail allowing only a thick strand of her fuchsia streak hair down on her right temple and another thick strand of her moderate cobalt blue down onto her left temple; both curling inwards.

Octavia: "It seems that Bon Bon is well prepared for her debut as she makes her way down the ring."

Vinyl: "Along with her girlfriend Lyra who I hear is also managing for Bon Bon."

Octavia: "well…not so much of a manager in the traditional sense. She's an enforcer to be precise."

Vinyl: "Now, for those of you who had your head stuck under a rock an enforcer is a full-time wrestler who watches her charges (wrestler they are protecting/managing/encouraging) back and makes sure there isn't any shit going down against their charge. And occasionally becoming the shit themselves."

Octavia rolled her eyes. "And in HUMAN terms they are basically there to encourage their charge in their match and to ensure that the match is fair in the case where their charge would be ambushed by his or her opponents or them helping them with their match through dubious methods." Octavia reiterated.

Vinyl: "What's wrong with the way I said it?!" Vinyl Scratch asked accusingly.

Octavia let out a sigh before speaking. "Well, Vinyl, I don't believe anyone can understand the context of what you were explaining what with all the vague details and references to…excrement."

Vinyl: "Better than speaking in another language! You lost me at 'human'. Anyway we don't know if Lyra's even going to cause any shit or not."

Octavia looked at her friend with an appalled expression. "Why on earth would Lyra cheat?!"

Vinyl: "Hey. It's wrestling. ANYTHING can happen."

As Lyra and Bon Bon approach the ring, Lyra goes up to the apron first and holds up the top rope and uses her foot to hold down the bottom rope and creates an opening. Lyra gladly ducks through the opening and gets into the ring, she then waves to the crowd before holding open the ropes for Lyra as well. Bon Bon then goes to her corner (which from the commentator's point of view was the lower right turnbuckle) and leans against it while Lyra gets on the other side of the ropes and messages Bon Bon's shoulders.

Lyra: "Okay, Bon Bone you got this! You got Twilight scared into a corner!"

Bon Bon: "Lyra. That's her corner and the match hasn't even started yet."

Lyra: "Then you're even more intimidating then you think! Atta girl!"

Twilight looks over at her opponent. "This shouldn't be too difficult. I mean she is just a rookie after all. First win here I come!" Twilight thought with a confident smile as Fluttershy pats her down and determines her to be clean.

Fluttershy then walks over to Bon Bon's corner only to hesitate when seeing Lyra. Fluttershy wasn't homophobic but she was straight and she didn't want to imply anything by caressing Bon Bon's body for illegal objects. It just felt wrong to her. Bon Bon noticed Fluttershy's hesitation and speaks up.

Bon Bon: "You not going to frisk me Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy tapped her fingers. "Well…I would..but I don't wanna imply anything…."

Bon Bon: "If it's about me being a lesbian you don't have to worry about me thinking anything of it. Lyra's the only one for me." She assured.

Lyra nodded her head. "Yeah, you're cool."

Fluttershy: "Well…okay…" Fluttershy then frisked Bon Bon and found that she was clean.

Fluttershy then made her way to the middle of the ring to beckon for the two opponents to come closer.

Lyra and Bon Bon shared a kiss before Lyra hopped off of the ring and stood on the ground below next to Bon Bon's corner while Bon Bon walked over to the middle of the ring where Twilight was waiting. Fluttershy then quickly explained the rules to both of them. Bon Bon stuck out her hand for a handshake with a smile to her opponent. Twilight smiled back and gladly shook her hand.

Fluttershy: "Uh...okay. Are you ready Twilight?"

Twilight smiled and got into a wrestling stance. "Ready!"

Fluttershy: "And you Bon Bon?"

Bon Bon smiled back and kept her eyes on Twilight as she got into a stance of her own. "Ready!"

Fluttershy: "Alright then. FIGHT!" Fluttershy then motioned for Octavia to ring the bell.

Octavia rang the bell. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

Fluttershy took a step back as so she couldn't get hurt by the battle about to unfold. Bon Bon and Twilight Sparkle circled each other in the middle of the ring as they tried to predict the other's movements. And apparently the first move was made by Twilight who grabbed Bon Bon by her hair and kneed her in the gut before releasing her hair and delivering and uppercut to Bon Bon's jaw to make her stagger back a little. Bon Bon then got her footing and tried to deliver a left hook to Twilight only for her opponent do tuck under it and quickly get behind her in a position in which they were back to back. Bon Bon's eyes widen in surprise as Twilight reaches over her shoulders and seizes the back of Bon bon's head and neck with both hands.

Octavia: "Twilight's going for a Neckbreaker slam!"

Twilight then jumps up and falls onto her back while maintaining the hold on Bon Bon to drag her down with Twilight and drive her back into the mat for a Jumping neckbreaker.

Vinyl: "Ooooooh….so close, Tavi! It was actually a Jumping neckbreaker! But don't worry, because we have a consolation prize-

Octavia: "Shut up, Vinyl."

Twilight quickly crawls to her feet and starts waving to the cheering crowd while Bon Bon rolls onto her stomach and holds her back, reeling on the canvas. Twilight smiles as she goes over to her downed opponent and bends down to pick her up by her hair only to knee her in the stomach to make her double over once more. Twilight then jumps up and has her elbow positioned for a Bionic elbow strike on the top of Bon Bon's head which makes her sink down to her knees and hold her head in pain. Twilight then takes this time to run towards the ropes in the direction of the commentator's table and bounce off them. Twilight then uses the momentum to run at Bon Bon and deliver a Low dropkick to her chest to force her onto her back, reeling in pain. Twilight crawls over to Bon Bon's feet which were in the air and pulls them down before flipping her back onto her stomach. Twilight then grabs Bon Bon's left shin and wraps both of her (Twilight's) legs around it. Twilight gets down on the ground before twisting Bon Bon's leg to hyperextend her knee for a Cross kneelock. Bon Bon holds her head as she screams in pain. Meanwhile, Lyra runs over to the side of the ring in the direction of the runway where Bon Bon was facing.

Lyra: "Bon Bon! Crawl to the ropes!" Lyra yelled as she repeatedly slapped the apron with both of her hands to emphasize.

Bon Bon winced at the pain from the Cross kneelock before starting to do a slow military crawl for the ropes while dragging along Twilight. Twilight felt herself being dragged so she started to further twist Bon Bon's leg in an effort to make her submit before she can grab the ropes.

Octavia: "Twilight's making an obvious effort to keep Bon Bon away from the ropes."

Vinyl: "And it's pretty hard to look at when Bon Bon is yelling for every inch she crawls! She is definitely a desperate woman!"

Bon Bon: "Just…a little…more…" Bon Bon thought as she was nearing the ropes and Lyra who was cheering for her to come closer. Bon Bon reached out her hand and stretched with all her might but was only able to touch the bottom rope with the tip of her fingers. However, Twilight then twisted Bon Bon's leg as hard as she could which erupted a sad scream of pain from Bon Bon who raised her hand a short distance above the mat.

Vinyl: "Oh,oh,oh! She's gonna tap! SHE'S GONNA TAP!"

Octavia: "And when so close to the ropes as well!"

Lyra saw this and bit her lip in nervousness. Suddenly, she panicked and grabbed Bon Bon's hand and pulled it over the middle rope so she could grab it.

Fluttershy didn't seem to notice this as she went over to Twilight and Bon Bon. "ROPE BREAK!"

Octavia: "What on earth?! If Fluttershy would have seen that, Bon Bon could've been potentially disqualified!"

Vinyl: "Like I told you….becoming shit themselves."

Twilight releases Bon Bon from the Cross kneelock and gets up to her knees to take a breath while Bon Bon crawls up the ropes and leans the front of her body against them and breathlessly nods her head at Lyra to thank her for the save. However, this did not grant her the match as Twilight was already on her feet and kicked Bon Bon's back before positioning Bon Bon through the opening in between the top and middle ropes. Twilight then reaches over the top ropes and grabs Bon Bon's arms and pulls them back so they could hook over the top rope which pulls back the rest of Bon Bon's upper body as well. Twilight then puts Bon Bon into a chinlock before straddling Bon Bon's back and pulling her (Bon Bon's) head back for a Rope assisted Camel clutch. Fluttershy goes to count due to the rule of using rope assisted holds.

Fluttershy: "1!...2!...3!...4!...5!" Twilight released Bon Bon from the chinlock and fell onto her back. Twilight, however, managed to kick Bon Bon through the ropes and out onto the apron with Bon Bon grabbing the middle rope to keep herself from falling onto the outside mat below.

Vinyl: "Hang in there little Bon Bon! The fire department is coming to rescue you!"

Octavia: "Your quips aren't as funny as you think they are. You are aware of that right?"

Vinyl: "Well I don't see YOU coming up with anything good!" Vinyl Scratch accused.

Octavia: "I'm a Cellist, a commentator, and a wrestler. Not a stand-up comedian like yourself."

Vinyl: "That's true. Your music is too boring to be a joke anyway." Vinyl Scratch coolly retorted.

Back in the ring, Twilight had already run towards the ropes in the direction of the commentator's table and bounced off them while Lyra was helping Bon Bon back onto the apron on the outside ropes. Twilight charged at the recovering Bon Bon and ducked.

Twilight: "Bon Bon shouldn't be pretty exhausted so I doubt she could take a Spear to the outside mat and still be standing." Twilight calculated as she charged at Bon Bon for a Spear.

This didn't end too well. Bon Bon managed to look up just as Twilight was coming at her and instinctively spun to the side. Twilight couldn't stop at the speed she was running so she braced herself as she flew in between the ropes and landed on the outside mat below. Twilight started to reel in pain as she held her back.

Octavia: "Well, that was an unfortunate miscalculation on Twilight's part." Octavia observed.

Fluttershy went over to the ropes and started to count. "1!...2!...3!...4!..."

Octavia: "Twilight should get back into the ring quickly otherwise she'll lose by countout."

Vinyl: "Uh…I wouldn't worry too much about that, Tavi. I think Twilight's getting some help."

Vinyl Scratch was correct. But not the help she wants. Lyra went over to Twilight and grabbed her and pulled her up to her feet.

Fluttershy: "…9!...10!...11!..."

Lyra then ran over to the ring with Twilight and tossed her back into the ring where Twilight rolled onto her stomach and lay there breathing heavily. Lyra gave Bon Bon a thumbs up to which Bon Bon nodded and began to climb up the rope until she was balancing herself on the top rope with her feet and hands inward. She couldn't keep her balance for long so she decided to jump off of the top rope and stretch out her body in a horizontal in which she brings out her hands and feet outward before landing on Twilight's back for a Frog splash. Bon Bon got to her feet and held her stomach from the impact before looking down at Twilight.

Bon Bon: "Twilight may be down but I'm not doing so well either. I better wear her out a little more…"

*Meanwhile*

Rarity slowly opened her eyes to see the ceiling. Rarity blinked for a few moments before yawning from an, unexpectedly, nice nap. She felt something on her legs and head holding her horizontal. Rarity tried to focus her sight on the figure above her head. After a little while it turned out to be Applejack who was staring down at her with an amused grin.

Applejack: "Well lookie who's awake!"

Pinkie: "Wow Rarity! You must've slept like a baby!"

Rarity: "Ugh..." Rarity groaned as she sat up and got off of Pinkie and Applejack's laps so she could sit up straight and hold her head. She must have lost considering that the last thing she remembered was being placed on Lyra's knee after a neckbreaker of some sort. Rarity then looked up and saw that a match was underway. Twilight was on her stomach on the mat and her opponent, Bon Bon, had just connected a Frog Splash onto Twilight's back. Then she looked over to see her previous opponent, Lyra, cheering Bon Bon on. Rarity leered at Lyra for a moment before being pulled back into reality by Pinkie Pie who was…giggling for some reason.

Rarity: "What's so funny?"

Pinkie Pie stopped giggling and rolled her eyes in another direction before shrugging. "Oh, nothing." Pinkie Pie then went right back to giggling at Rarity who was unaware of the artwork drawn on her face.

Rarity: "What?!"

*Return*

Bon Bon slowly got to her feet before grabbing Twilight's hair and pulling her back up to her level. Bon Bon then grabs Twilight with her left hand under Twilight's right armpit and bends down to reach underneath Twilight's legs and clasp onto her lower back. Bon Bon then uses the strength she honed from kneeing and beating dough to lift Twilight up, turn her upside down, and slam her back first into the mat for a Scoop slam. Twilight reeled in pain before Bon Bon grabbed her again and pulled her back up to her feet. Bon Bon quickly gets behind Twilight, pulling her hair to maneuver her a little further away from the ropes, and bends her upper body halfway forward. Bon Bon uses both of her hands to pull Twilight's left arm back in between her (Twilight's) legs in which her hand was placed a little under her crotch in which Bon Bon used her right hand to hold it in place. Bon Bon then changes her footing a little bit so she could use her left arm to hook Twilight's right arm back and clamp her hand on the back of Twilight's head. Bon Bon then uses her strength once more to lift Twilight up until Twilight was parallel with Bon Bon's chest and was facing upwards, still in the pumphandle. Bon Bon then quickly threw herself forward and drives Twilight's back into the canvas to complete the Pumphandle drop (also known as a tilt slam). Bon Bon released Twilight and let her body sprawl out on the mat as she breathed heavily with her eyes shut in pain. Bon Bon waves her hand to the crowd while she was on her knees.

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Octavia: "Two slams in a row by Bon Bon. Quite impressive strength."

Vinyl: "Let me guess. Twilight's gonna lose. Again."

Octavia: "That remains to be seen. However it does look like Bon Bon's going to attempt to end this match in just a moment."

Back in the ring, Bon Bon grabbed Twilight's head and slowly pulled her up to her feet before Irish whipping her into the upper right turnbuckle. Lyra went ran over to the turnbuckle on the outside of the ring while Bon Bon rushed at Twilight and spun back to lad a Back elbow on Twilight's chest. Bon Bon began to climb the ropes connected to the turnbuckle until she was standing on the middle ropes. Bon Bon bent down to use both hands to grab underneath Twilight's armpits. Bon Bon uses all of the strength she has left to pull Twilight up and set her up in a sitting position in which she was facing towards the inside of the ring. Bon Bon then uses her right arm to put Twilight Sparkle into a facelock and uses her other hand to point to the sky and smile while breathing heavily, enjoying the moment.

Octavia: "It looks like Bon Bon is going to finish the match!"

Back in the ring, Bon Bon was pumped and ready to go. She hasn't felt this excited in quite some time. What should she finish off Twilight with? A DDT? A Suplex? A Piledriver? These questions went through her mind and each created exciting endings for her debut.

Those thoughts, however, remained as thoughts.

Twilight got a second wind and punched Bon Bon in the gut which made Bon Bon double over Twilight and release her from the facelock. Twilight then punched Bon Bon across the face before using her legs to push Bon Bon off of the turnbuckle and send her falling back-first into the mat below. Twilight then grabbed the top ropes connected to the turnbuckle and placed her feet on the turnbuckle before standing up and balancing herself on the top turnbuckle.

Vinyl: "Sorry Tavi but it looks like it's gonna be the other way around!"

Bon Bon slowly stirs to her feet and holds her head in pain. Her head was ringing a bit and she was trying to focus on something. Bon Bon then turned to see Lyra waving frantically at the turnbuckle for some reason. The she suddenly heard what she was saying.

Lyra: "Bon Bon! Get away!"

Bon Bon's eyes shot open but instead of running away she snapped her head in the direction of the turnbuckle. She didn't see anything as her vision was blocked by the shadow of the wrestling boots hitting Bon Bon in the face. Twilight landed a Missile dropkick onto Bon Bon which caused Bon Bon to crash into the canvas, the back of her head hitting first. Bon Bon's legs and lower body shot up for a moment but were quickly pulled down by gravity as she was now unconscious on the mat with her legs slightly at their sides and her arms spread apart. Her head was on its right side pointing into the ring as she lays there and sleeps. Twilight slowly got to her feet and looked down at her opponent.

Octavia: "Twilight's going to make the pin!"

Twilight, however, decided to make sure that Bon Bon was down by jumping up and hiking up both of her legs and connecting a Double legdrop to Bon Bon's tummy. Bon Bon's body jerked up but other than that there still was no reaction.

Vinyl: "Wha-J-Just pin her already!"

Twilight, knowing that Bon Bon was out of it, gleefully crawled across Bon Bon's body and used both of her arms to grab Bon Bon's left leg and pull it back and lets it dangle for a pin. Twilight then closes her eyes and smiles as she listens to the sound of a glorious three-count.

Fluttershy drops. "1!...2!..."

Lyra: "GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!"

Fluttershy: "3!" Fluttershy then motioned for Octavia to ring the bell.

Octavia rang the bell. DING! DING! DING!*

---

*~ Britt Nicole's song "Ready or Not (feat. Lecrae)" resonates throughout the building ~*

Twilight Sparkle releases the leg of Bon Bon and gets to her feet and pumps her fists in the air for her first victory. Lyra quickly crawled into the ring and checked up on Bon Bon while Twilight happilly skips to the middle of the ring for Fluttershy to hold her hand and lift it in the air.

Fluttershy: "HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL! TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Fluttershy then released Twilight's arm and claps for her friend's victory. Twilight goes to her corner and jumps on the middle turnbuckle and begins to soak in the cheers of the imaginary crowd with a wide grin on her face.

Vinyl: "Well, well, well! It looks like Twilight Sparkle just got her first victory here at CCPW tonight!"

Octavia: "Indeed. Twilight has gone through quite a few losses to get to this point but it was well worth it!"

Vinyl: "Too bad for Bon Bon though. She almost had it."

Octavia smirked in satisfaction. "Well, I had a feeling Twilight would win. I suppose my intuition was correct."

Vinyl Scratch rolled her eyes behind her glasses. "Yeah, because, you know, Bon Bon being an inexperienced rookie didn't have anything to do with it at all."

Octavia blushed. "True…"

Vinyl Scratch smiled and pinched her cheek. "Aw! It's owkay, Tavi!" Vinyl Scratch playfully said with a baby-talk like impression.

Octavia wasn't amused. "Vinyl. If you don't want to be on the wrong part of a *Quindicesima* I suggest you stop pinching my cheek." Octavia warned with a blunt expression and tone.

Vinyl Scratch's smile faded and she released her cheek. "Yeah well how does a *Bass Drop* sound to you ya stuck up…" Vinyl Scratch then continued to quietly mutter while she signaled for Rainbow Dash to turn off the stuffed animals and switch the lights back on. Rainbow Dash did so before walking down to the bottom of the bleachers along with everyone else who was waiting there each of them giving Twilight a high five outside of the ring while Lyra was still inside the ring catering to Bon Bon who slowly opened her eyes.

Bon Bon slowly batted her eyes and groaned as she looked up at Lyra.

Lyra: "You okay, Bon Bon?!" Lyra asked panickingly.

Bon Bon: "Did I win….?" Bon Bon asked as she sat up and held her head.

Lyra scratched the back of her head. "yeeeaahhhhhh…..no."

Bon Bon looked down in disappointment. "Oh…"

Twilight went back into the ring and walked over to Bon Bon and extended her hand. Bon Bon looked up at Twilight and her hand. She smiled before taking it and pulling herself back up to her feet. Twilight and Bon Bon then embraced.

Twilight: "Good match, Bon Bon."

Bon Bon: "Good match."

Twilight then released Bon Bon from the hug and held her shoulders. "So…how do you feel?"

Bon Bon: "I feel…I feel…GREAT!" Bon Bon said enthusiastically. That was quite the rush of competitive action for her and she loved it! She felt so powerful even though she lost! She really did feel alive!

Twilight smiled and laughed. "Well I'm glad you like it and I know you're going to have fun being here!"

Bon Bon and Lyra smiled and nodded before all three of them left the ring and ware welcomed with Bon Bon being patted on the back for her effort.

Rainbow: "Those were some nice slams, Bon Bon!"

Applejack: "Ya sure can lift Ah tell ya!"

Bon Bon blushed from the praise she got by simply losing but doing her best.

Twilight turned her attention to the rest of the girls. "Well girls that sure was an exciting match! So let's give a round of applause for Bon Bon!" Twilight said before clapping before everyone started to follow suit. Bon Bon smiled from this attention she was getting and blushed further after Lyra kissed her on the cheek.

Twilight: "Well, we should be getting everything ready for the next match then. So let's get going!" Twilight said enthusiastically.

Rainbow: "Aw Yeah! You ready for this, Pinkie?!" Rainbow Dash taunted with a finger pointed toward Pinkie.

Pinkie put on a cocky smile before proceeding towards Rainbow Dash with a confident strut. Finally, Pinkie Pie was only a few inches away from Rainbow dash's face. "I'm ready Dashie. But are you ready for THIS?!" Pinkie Pie then booped Rainbow Dash's nose much to Rainbow's confusion.

Rainbow: "What the-

Pinkie: "TAG! YOU'RE IT!" Pinkie Pie shouted suddenly before turning and bolting for the curtains. Rainbow Dash grinned before shortly bolting after her.

Lyra, Bon Bon, and Fluttershy proceeded to leave for the locker rooms as well while a few of the others went to do their own thing. This left Twilight and Vinyl Scratch alone. Vinyl Scratch then walked over to Twilight and shook her hand.

Vinyl: "Congrats on the win, Twilight. What I tell ya? Just think about what you have to do at that moment and the rest will just come a flowin'!"

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Really? Because I don't see it."

Vinyl's smile faded and was replaced with confusion. "Huh?"

Twilight: "Well, I WAS about to do that…but I wanted to try it my way one more time. And you know what? IT WORKS!"

Vinyl: "….huh?"

Twilight then patted Vinyl Scratch's shoulder. "Thanks for your advice Vinyl Scratch, but I got this!" Twilight said before doing a confident strut for the locker rooms leaving a flabbergasted Vinyl Scratch behind.

Vinyl Scratch just smiled and shook her head in disbelief however and was heading for the bleachers when she ran into Rarity who still had that scribble on her face to which Vinyl Scratch couldn't help at laugh causing Rarity to turn around for a second and continue towards the locker rooms.

Rarity: "What is so funny?!" Rarity yelled to no one in particular.

---

This was quite an enjoyable chapter if I do say so myself. Now, just a thought. For those of you reading this go make sure to tell anyone you know to remember what happened this day. And how we became stronger from it. And if you happen to see a veteran walking by your street or going to the grocery store let them know how much you appreciate their sacrifice. Because freedom is never free.

Well that's it for this chapter. The next chapter will be Rainbow Dash vs Pinkie Pie so you have that to look forward to. I digress. Until next chapter. Arevoir.
