Greetings. I am Vultarian01. I would like to apologize once again for the delay. However, I DID manage to write both Chapter's 26 and 27 before I got here so that should make up for it. That should also keep you busy while I try to keep my grades up and all of the women off of me.

#humblebrag

But seriously, I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did. I had quite the bit of fun writing these chapters and I wish you all the same joy. Danke.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of its respective characters. I also do not own Jason Aldean, Aaron Carter, or any of their respective songs. Enjoy.

Chapter 26

Thirty minutes later…

The lights were dimmed again as Rainbow Dash turned on all of the stuffed animals. Applejack and Octavia were keeping a little distance apart from each other in the bleachers. However, they kept even farther away from Sunset Shimmer who was sitting next to Pinkie Pie with mild vexation from Pinkie Pie's motor mouth. Twilight was in the ref's outfit inside the ring and was also awaiting the competitors while looking at her watch. Rarity was stationed at the commentator's table once again on the bell's side along with Vinyl Scratch. Rarity motioned for Rainbow Dash to turn down the volume of the stuffed animals so she can speak.

Rarity: "Hello ladies and gentlemen and welco-

Vinyl: "AND WELCOME BACK TO CANTERLOT CARNAGE PRO WRESTLING!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Rarity shot a look at Vinyl Scratch who simply shrugged in response.

Vinyl: "What? You were taking too long."

Rarity sighed and rubbed her temples before continuing. "…Anyway, after an excellent match from both Pinkie Pie AND Fluttershy we are ready to move on to the next match between Applejack and Bon Bon."

Vinyl Scratch took out her headphones and started to listen to her music. Rarity didn't take kindly to this.

Rarity: "Vinyl Scratch, why are you listening to music when we are supposed to be commentating the match?!"

Vinyl Scratch looked over to Rarity but she couldn't hear anything she said. Luckily she knows how to read lips. "Chill Rarity, the match hasn't even started yet so I'm going to kick back to some tunes. You don't mind do you?"

Rarity rolled her eyes and continued. "No, I suppose not. Continuing, I think this is going to be quite the interesting match, don't you think Vinyl?"

Vinyl Scratch rocked her head back and forth to the music but still responded. "I THINK THAT AJ IS GOING TO KICK BON BON'S ASS! I MEAN IF SHE CAN BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF TAVI THEN BON BON DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A PRAYER!"

Rarity covered her ears as the microphone on the desk squealed. "LOWER YOUR VOICE VINYL SCRATCH I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE!"

Vinyl Scratch raised both of her eyebrows. "OH! OKAY!" Vinyl Scratch then lowered the volume of her MP3 player but still kept rocking her head. "Better?"

Rarity gritted her teeth. "Yes….MUCH better…."

Vinyl: "Sorry, I couldn't quite see that. So when's this match starting? I wanna see some pain!"

Rarity: "It'll start soon enough I assure you. But while we wait why not discuss the main event?"

Vinyl: "You mean RD and Twilight against Sunset Shimmer?! HA! Like SHE can take on BOTH Twilight and Rainbow Dash! And Rainbow's the champion, so yeah, FAT chance of that happening any time soon?"

Sunset Shimmer stood up from the bleachers and cupped her hands around her mouth. "HEY! I'M OVER HERE YOU KNOW?!"

Vinyl: "Well, NO SHIT SHERLOCK! We all know you're going to lose so sit your ass down and shut the fuck up!" Vinyl Scratch snapped.

Sunset Shimmer growled and crossed her arms before sitting back down. Pinkie Pie tried to comfort her with some popcorn but Sunset Shimmer pushed it away and sighed.

Rarity: "Vinyl Scratch…that was immensely vulgar and wasn't called for." Rarity commented. She personally felt the same way but that still was no excuse to go tearing people to ribbons.

Vinyl Scratch rolled her eyes behind her glasses. "Whatever…The show's about to start again anyway so…."

The lights went dim except for the lights above the ring and the searchlights pointed toward the curtain.

. *~ Jason Aldean's song "She's Country" resonates throughout the building ~*

Rainbow (Announcer): "What's up CCPW?! This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first…Coming from the fields of Sweet Apple Acres…Standing in at "6'0" and weighing in at 143 lbs…The strongest cowgirl in Canterlot…AAAPPLEEEJAAACK!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Applejack walked out of the curtain with her right hand on her hip and her left hand holding her light brown Stetson hat down over her eyes and stood with her legs spread apart. Applejack then jumped a small height to put her legs together as she struts down the runway with her Stetson hat still covering her eyes. Applejack was wearing her regular wrestling attire with her hair hung down as she made her way down the runway.

Rarity sighed. "It seems apparent that Applejack has arrived." Rarity said as she tried to block out Applejack's entrance theme. Country wasn't her thing.

Vinyl Scratch continued to rock her head to the beat. "Yeah, well I already gave in my two cents on how she'd win so…"

Rarity: "I don't know. Bon Bon DID make Twilight work for her win. Maybe there will be an upset?" Rarity suggested with a shrug.

Vinyl just shrugged back and went on to banging her head to her music.

Rarity: "I wonder if Vinyl's music is any more interesting than this." Rarity thought in wonder.

Vinyl Scatch then started to repeat the words to her music. "YO, Wub-a-dub-DUB Mothafucka! Duh-DUH! I Wub you! Duh-DUH! You Wub me! Duh-Duh-Duh-DUH! We all be Wubbin' this an-ar-chy! TAKE THAT FOOL!"

Rarity: "…Nevermind."

As Applejack approached the ring she still had her hat shielding her eyes and face from view as she raised the middle rope with her right hand to duck under the rope and enter the ring. Applejack then skipped to the middle of the ring where she threw her hat straight in the air while letting out a hardy yee-hah. She then catches her hat as it came back down while spinning on her right heel. She stops her spin and stops in the direction of her corner and proceeds toward it (which from the commentator's point of view was the upper left turnbuckle). Applejack then took off her hat and tossed her hat out of the ring toward the commentator's table where it was caught by Vinyl Scratch who put it on the table. She leaned against her corner to wait for the match to begin.

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

Rainbow Dash (Announcer): "Introducing next…Coming from Sweet & Elite…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 Lyra (Who was in her regular attire) and stepped into the spotlight. Bon Bon was holding Bon Bon's left hand with her right. Bon Bon and Lyra both raised their closed hands and used their free arms to wave to the crowd before dropping them and proceeding to walk hand in hand down the runway. Bon Bon's hair was pulled back into a ponytail but Lyra's hairstyle was kept the same.

Vinyl stopped singing to take a look at the two. "Well it looks like the other competition is here." Vinyl Scratch observed.

Rarity: "After Bon Bon's debut loss she is going to half to persevere through this match to make up the difference..." -Rarity crossed her arms- "…and WITHOUT any assistance from Lyra this time."

Vinyl: "You still ticked that Lyra kicked your ass?"

Rarity looked appalled. "Heavens, no! While I admit that her victory DID send to be the bottom of CCPW's ranking class I feel obligated to point out that she did win our little duel fairly."

Vinyl: "Then why the rematch?"

Rarity: "You see, I found this experience has made me a little more…humble. And I think it's ONLY fair that I share the same experience with Lyra…by defeating her twice over." Rarity stated with a half-lidded smile

Vinyl Scratch grinned. "Well aren't WE sassy?" Vinyl Scratch teased.

Rarity smiled lightly. "Oh, I wouldn't call it sassy. In Lyra's case I would call it…being generous."

As Bon Bon and Lyra 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 all the while leering off at Applejack who was coolly propping against her corner.

Lyra: "C'mon Candy crusher! Get in there and…uh….crush her apples!"

Bon Bon sighed. "Lyra….sweetie…please stop."

Lyra: "Oh, wait! I GOT IT! Get in there and…candy crush her adam's apple! Yeah! You get it, because she likes apples?!"

Bon Bon: "Ugh..." Bon Bon groaned. She appreciated Lyra's support but…let's just say she didn't love her just for her wit alone.

Twilight went over to Bon Bon's corner and promptly searched her to find her clean of illegal items. Twilight then went over to search Applejack and found her to be clean as well. Twilight moved to the middle of the ring and motioned for Bon Bon and Lyra to do the same. Lyra and Bon Bon had a quick kiss before Lyra stepped off of the apron and Bon Bon walked over to face her opponent.

Bon Bon looked up at her large opponent and quivered slightly at their height difference. Applejack, however, didn't seem to want to psych her out. In fact, Applejack smiled and held out her hand. This calmed Bon Bon's nerves a bit so she gladly shook the hand.

Rarity smiled. "Oh well isn't this just nice! Good sportsmanship really ISN'T dead!"

Vinyl Scratch stopped rocking her head and took off her headphones. "OKAY! Time for some good ol' pro fight action!"

Back in the ring, Twilight quickly explains the rules in which both of them nod in agreement.

Twilight: "Are you ready AJ?"

Applejack smirked and got into a wrestling stance. "Eeyup!"

Twilight nodded. "How about you Bon Bon?"

Bon Bon got into a wrestling stance and stared down Applejack. "Ready!"

Twilight nodded. "FIGHT!" Twilight then motioned for Rarity to ring the bell.

Rarity rang the bell. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

Twilight backs away from the two opponents so they could proceed with their match. Applejack immediately tries to grab Bon Bon's shoulders, but Bon Bon quickly turns and runs before Applejack could get a hold of her. Applejack watched as Bon Bon ran towards the ropes in the direction of the right side bleachers and bounce off them. Bon Bon then uses the momentum to sprint back at Applejack. Applejack grabs Bon Bon as soon as she gets close enough placing her right arm in between Bon Bon's legs and reaching over Bon Bon's right shoulder with her left arm. Applejack then uses Bon Bon's momentum to quickly lift Bon Bon off of the ground in a position in which Bon Bon's bony was lifted horizontally across Applejack's body and facing towards Applejack. Applejack then lifts/spins Bon Bon around, along with herself, 180 degrees before Applejack swiftly falls and slams Bon Bon's back into the mat with Applejack face-down on top of her for a Scoop Powerslam.

Vinyl: "OUCH! Looks like the Candy Crusher just got crushed!"

Rarity rolled her eyes. "Clever."

Applejack quickly stands on her knees and looks down at Bon Bon whose arms and legs were only slightly sprawled away from her body; Bon Bon's eyes were closed as she continues to lay there and pant softly. Applejack gets to her feet and walks over to face Bon Bon's boots before bending down to grab both of Bon Bon's legs and lift them. Applejack uses her left hand to bend Bon Bon's right leg so that the shin of Bon Bon's right leg is behind the knee of Bon Bon's straight left leg and uses her right hand to hold the shin in place. Applejack then uses her left hand again to place the ankle of the boot of Bon Bon's straight left leg underneath her right armpit. Bon Bon opens her eyes and looks in horror.

Bon Bon: "No, no, stop! Wait! Please!" Bon Bon begs as she waves her arms in front of her.

Applejack only smirks as she uses her left arm once again to reach around Bon Bon's ankle and through the opening formed by Bon Bon's legs and locks both of her hands together. Applejack then steps over Bon Bon, turning Bon Bon onto her stomach in a prone position, and proceeds to squat down and lean back to compress Bon Bon's legs, flex her spine, and stretch her abdomen for a Coverleaf (which is more popularly known as a Texas Coverleaf). Bon Bon screamed in agony as she balled up her fists and banged them against the mat. Bon Bon also tried to crawl away but Applejack wouldn't let her budge so she continued to scream.

Applejack: "Tap out or pass out, sugarcube!"

Lyra: "C'mon Bon Bon! You can take it!' Lyra cheered from outside the ring.

Rarity: "It seems Bon Bon is in quite the bind. Applejack's superior leg strength is making any attempts by Bon Bon to reach the ropes futile."

Back in the ring, Twilight got on her knees next to the suffering Bon Bon. "Do you wish to submit Bon Bon?"

Bon Bon shook her head. "N-Nooo!" Bon Bon cried.

Applejack proceeded to lean back some more to further Bon Bon's suffering. After about thirty-two seconds of the Coverleaf and with no way out to be found, Bon Bon finally buried her face in the mat before reaching her right hand over the mat and tapping out frantically.

Twilight saw this and motioned for Rarity to ring the bell.

Rarity rang the bell. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

*~ Jason Aldean's song "She's Country" resonates throughout the building ~*

Applejack grinned as she let Bon Bon out of the hold and dropped her legs to which Bon Bon curled up and held her legs and back while moaning. Lyra rolled into the ring, ran to Bon Bon, and got to her knees to aid her. Meanwhile, Applejack went to the middle of the ring where Twilight held up her hand.

Twilight: HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA SUBMISSION! APPLEJACK!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Twilight released Applejack's hand and goes over with Lyra to check on Bon Bon while Applejack continues to celebrate and bask in the cheers of the audience.

Vinyl Scratch's hands slammed the desk. "What?! That was it?! Man, I wanna refund!"

Rarity: "Darling, we don't charge. And didn't you just imply that this wasn't going to last long?"

Vinyl: "Yeah, but I didn't think it would end THIS quickly! I feel totally jipped!" Vinyl Scratch wined.

Rarity: "I assure you that you have not been hoodwinked or swindled in any way. Not ALL matches go on long."

Vinyl Scratched only crossed her arms and muttered.

Rarity: "But I do admit that must have been the fastest match in CCPW history so far. Quite an embarrassing defeat on Bon Bon's part as well."

Vinyl: "*mutter* *grumble* *mutter*"

Back in the ring, Lyra helped Bon Bon up into a sitting position. Bon Bon continued to hold her legs in pain.

Lyra: "You okay Bonnie?" Lyra asked in concern of her lover and best friend.

Bon Bon winced. "It hurts…but I'll be fine."

Applejack seems to have stopped her celebration and walked over Bon Bon and squats in front of her.

Applejack: "Y'all okay?"

Bon Bon nodded. "Yeah…nice move."

Applejack smirked and held out her hand to which Bon Bon politely shook it. Lyra then helped up Bon Bon but didn't hold her up. Bon Bon insisted that she could walk despite the pain. So they all exited the ring to find that everybody was waiting for them outside the ring. However, most of them came to sympathize with Bon Bon and her loss.

Bon Bon: "I-It's fine you guys. I'll do better next time.

Rainbow: "You better. That was pretty short." Rainbow Dash said tactfully.

Sunset Shimmer was last to come and decided that this was the perfect chance to get on Rainbow Dash's good side. "Rainbow's right. That was pretty embarrassing." Sunset Shimmer commented.

Everybody then turned to glare at Sunset Shimmer as if she insulted Bon Bon. Sunset Shimmer's smile disappeared as it dawned on her that she botched it up. They retaliated.

Lyra: "Leave her alone Sunset! Bon Bon did great!"

Octavia: "We didn't ask for your opinion anyway." Octavia said with a huff.

Applejack: "Yeah, so if y'all don't have anything good to say then don't go yappin' yer mouth!" Applejack added.

Sunset Shimmer lowered her head and turned away from the group in shame before making her way back to the bleachers. Twilight went over to comfort Sunset Shimmer while the rest of them returned their attention to Bon Bon whose head was down in shame.

Applejack: "Don't listen to Sunset, sugarcube. Y'all were fine." Applejack said with a pat on Bon Bon's shoulder.

Vinyl: "Yeah, that wasn't cool of her. You'll kick ass in your next match." Vinyl Scratch assured.

Lyra put her arm around Bon Bon. "They're right Bonnie. Tell you what, why don't you go to the locker rooms and get ready to walk me down the runway? I'd love to have your support when I beat Rarity again." Lyra soothed.

Fluttershy took a stand. "Uh, not to offend anyone, but I don' think Sunset Shimmer meant to-

Rarity: "Well aren't WE confident?!" Rarity said with hand on hip.

Fluttershy retreated. "…nevermind." Fluttershy whispered.

Lyra leered at Rarity: "Yes..." -Lyra pulled Bon Bon closer- "…WE are!"

Rarity smiled confidently. "Well then I look forward to your performance. I'll be waiting in the locker rooms poised and ready to have at it." Rarity said before strutting away to the locker rooms.

Lyra's cheeks turned red with frustration as she and Bon Bon began to quickly walk towards the locker rooms as well. Pinkie Pie then attempted to stand in the middle of the group and look serious.

Pinkie: "Okay people! We got some wrestling to do and not much time to do it in! So, Chop-Chop!" Pinkie Pie ordered with her hands making a chopping motion.

Everybody only stared at Pinkie Pie and made a (-_-) look before walking away and leaving her standing awkwardly alone. Pinkie Pie crossed her arms and pouted but quickly perked up at the sight of a piece of shiny gum wrapping-paper on the floor.

Pinkie Pie pressed her hands against her cheeks. "…whoa….that's so shiny…"

Pinkie Pie then picked up the piece of paper and proceeded to gaze upon its beauty before rolling it into a ball, sticking it into her pocket, and frolicking away to the locker rooms for no reason at all.

Please don't start. You know as well as I do that not all matches go on for the same amount of time. Some matches even last SHORTER than that. But I still tried to make it as enjoyable as possible and if you have anything you want to say to me or give me some advice (Which I guess IS saying something to me) them leave a review. Until next chapter which will be Lyra vs Rarity. Arevoir.
