Romance Or Not

“Hello Equestria I’m Dj-PON3, Vinyl Scratch and this is Big Brother, last time we saw the Wonderbolt Fleetfoot become the second houseguest to be evicted after her mistake of talking to Twilight got her put up on the block, and every pony, except for two little fillies who felt threatened by Rainbow Dash, voted for her elimination, tonight we have another HOH competition lined up and any pony with the exception of Twilight Sparkle have the ability to emerge victorious, so grab a snack, sit back, and get ready for a great episode of Big Brother”

The camera switches over to the HOH room where Twilight is talking with Lyra when Rarity walks in through the door.

“Alright so we’re all he, wait” said Twilight “where’s Fluttershy?”

“Actually” said Lyra “you’re right, I don’t think Fluttershy has been to any of our alliance meetings since Applebloom was evicted”

“Yeah” said Twilight “Rarity do you know where she is?”

“Yes” said Rarity “She’s down in the kitchen with Soarin”

“Why is she hanging around with him?” asked Twilight “doesn’t she understand that he’s a Wonderbolt just like Fleetfoot, I’m willing to bet all of them are in on the plan to eliminate Applejack, we have to go get her”

“No Twilight” said Rarity voice raised slightly from its normal tone “you can’t”

“Oh yeah” said Twilight annoyance showing in her voice “and just why not?”

“Because those two are great for each other” said Rarity

“Are you really that ignorant” said Twilight “he’s using her just like they’ve been using Rainbow Dash”

“I don’t believe that” stated Rarity rather bluntly “I’ve seen the way they are together and I do believe it’s genuine”

“And you’re clearly mistaken” said Twilight “they cannot be trusted”

“All right Twilight” Said Rarity “I’m going to go eat, come find me when you’ve decided to not be so paranoid”

Rarity calmly got up and walked out of the room.

“What do you have against Soarin?” asked Lyra

“He’s using Fluttershy” said Twilight “and as soon as one of us gains the HOH position we have to take him out understand”

“I, I guess so” stuttered Lyra

“Oh and one more thing” said Twilight

“What?” asked Lyra

“You can’t tell Fluttershy” stated Twilight

The camera switched over to the sitting room where Rainbow Dash and Spitfire were discussing their game plan.

“So basically we work together to make sure at least one of us wins the HOH” said Spitfire “that way we increase our chances of staying in this game”

“Ok I see” said Rainbow Dash “but what do we do if one of us is on the block?”

“Why the answer is simple” said Spitfire “we do whatever we can to help out our allies unless it puts us in direct jeopardy”

“All right” said Rainbow Dash confidently “I just hope it’s another test of endurance”

“I would Imagine it would be” said Spitfire “they need good ratings and the citizens of Equestria do prefer physical challenges to mental ones”

“Yeah” said Rainbow Dash “I really hope you’re right”

The camera switched to the kitchen where Fluttershy and Soarin sharing some chips while talking about something in lightly toned voices.

“So you saved the city of Baltimare all by yourself” said Fluttershy in an unbelieving tone of voice “that would be some amazing story if it were true”

“Oh but it is true” said Soarin “or well almost true, I did have some help from Spitfire”

“Wow” said Fluttershy “you’re so brave”

“It’s no big deal really” stated Soarin “any pony can do that sort of thing if they put their minds to it”

“Oh I don’t think I could ever do anything like that” sighed Fluttershy “I’m not brave”

“Don’t say that” said Soarin reassuringly “every pony has something that makes them unique, you are, from what I hear able to tame even the most savage of beasts, Rainbow Dash even told me that you stood up to a full grown dragon once, and if that’s not bravery then I don’t know what is”

Fluttershy blushed “you just seem to always know what to say”

The camera switched away from the kitchen and wound up in the outside area where Scootaloo, Babs, and Sweetie Belle were all listening to a story from Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie” said Sweetie Belle “you are just the best”

“Yeah Pinkie” said Babs “you always know how to make every pony smile”

“Well duh” said Pinkie while bouncing up and down around the pool “It’s what I’m here to do, to put a smile on every ponies face”

“Come on girls” said Scootaloo “we won’t get our cutie marks sitting here listening to stories”

“How do you know?” asked Babs “we might be the best story listener tooers in Equestria”

“I don’t think so” said Sweetie Belle “Rarity always said I need to listen more often so I don’t nearly burn the boutique down every other day making breakfast”

“I guess you’re right” sighed Babs

“Come on girls” said Scootaloo “let’s go see what we can do to earn our cutie marks inside”

“Oh” said Pinkie Pie “but don’t you want to hear the another story?”

The three little fillies instantly shot back into sitting positions where they had been earlier waiting for Pinkies story.

“Well maybe just one more” said Scootaloo

Suddenly the camera changes back to the kitchen were Rarity walks Soarin and Fluttershy are still talking, when suddenly Rarity walks in.

“Oh hi Rarity” said Fluttershy “did you want to see me”

“Yes” sighed Rarity “it’s about Twilight”

“What is it” asked Fluttershy

Rarity explained the whole argument about whether or not Soarin was truly in love with Fluttershy or not and by the end the smiles on Soarin and Fluttershy’s faces had been replaced with looks of confusion.

“But why would she be so against us” asked Soarin

“Because” said Rarity “because of the Fleetfoot incident”

“What do you think she’ll do” asked Fluttershy

“I think she’ll get Soarin eliminated as soon as possible” responded Rarity “as much as it hurts me to say this we may need to get rid of Twilight, her paranoia is going to make it much harder to lay low later on in the game”

“Well you’ve got my vote” said Fluttershy “no pony messes with me and Soarin!”

“Whoa” said Soarin “where did that come from”

“I’m told I can be quite intimidating when I’m angry” Fluttershy responded

“well I’ll say” said Soarin “but there’s nothing to be angry about right now, just empty threats from a scarred pony”

“Ok” said Fluttershy snuggling a little closer to Soarin

“Well my work here is done” said Rarity in a whisper “time to get prepared for the challen”

Rarity was cut of by the sound of the speaker systems cutting on with causing all of the contestants to head for the arena.

“All contestants to th” said Vinyl “oh you’re already here, well anyway enter”

The houseguests filed into the arena room to find it was turned into a giant pond with several lillypads floating in it, each lillypad had a number on it, the three closest had 25, the two mid range ones had 50, and the furthes one had 100, with a tiny dot on the far wall displaying the words instant win surrounded by a big auto loss area.

“Here’s the rules” said Vinyl “each of you will stand on those platforms on this end of the pond, each round the pony or ponies with the lowest score will be eliminated, if you hit the small instant win button with your frogs you win automatically, but if you hit the area around it you auto lose, all houseguests with the exception of Twilight Sparkle please take your positions and get your first frog”

Every contestant got themselves situated on their platforms and grabbed the first of the frogs they would fling onto the lillypads.

“Rarity you will begin followed by Scootaloo all the way to Fluttershy, Rarity it’s your turn”

Rarity stepped forward to the edge of her platform and sent her frog flying which caused it to land on one of the 25 areas.

Next up was Scootaloo who took hers and launched it all the way to a 50 point score.

The next couple of throws either tied with Rarity or Sootaloo, with only Spitfire hitting the 100 point mark.

“All right this is a lot of eliminated contestants, any pony who scored a 25 is now out of the competition, Babs, Sweetie Belle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Lyra are all eliminated, all right next throw this time 25 points are off limits”

Scootaloo lined up for her second toss but auto eliminated herself by landing it on a 25, followed by Applejack who missed entirely, after that the rest scored the 50 with Soarin scoring a 100 this time.

“Final four” said Vinyl “Spitfire, Soarin, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy”

“Fluttershy how are you here” asked Rainbow Dash

“Hey” said Soarin “don’t underestimate her, she’s better than you think”

“I’ve had to do this sort of thing before” said Fluttershy “down at froggy bottom bog”

“Well it’s your turn” said Vinyl “Rainbow Dash?”

“Ok” said Rainbow Dash

She picked up a frog and send it flying just a bit to far landing it in the water near the 100 point mark.

“Aww man” said Rainbow “how did I miss that?”

“Sorry Rainbow you’re out” said Vinyl “Spitfire your turn”

The golden Pegasus nodded and picked up her frog sending the little creature hurtling through the air and coming to rest on the 100 point pad.

“Soarin” said Vinyl “you’re up”

Soarin stepped up and tossed his frog but slipped on some water on the platform causing it to land just shy of the 25 point mark.

“And finally we have Fluttershy” said Vinyl “you need to get a 100 to stay in the competition”

Fluttershy got up and shakily grabbed a frog.

“Fluttershy” said Soarin “just pretend I’m the only pony here”

After hearing Soarin’s words Fluttershy straightened up sending her frog flying further than any of the previous frogs and landing dead center the instant win zone.

“You go Fluttershy!” cheered Soarin

“Good job” said Rarity in a more calm tone “you’ve really outdone yourself”

Fluttershy stepped off the platform and headed over to Twilight to receive the HOH key.

The camera switched over to the studio next door where Vinyl sits in front of the largest crowd so far in the show of around 500 ponies.

“There you have it Equestria” said Vinyl “Fluttershy is the third HOH of the season but now comes the question of what will she do with this power, what will Spitfire do to Soarin after his encouragement lost her the competition, and When will Pinkie Pie gain a major role in this competition, find out the answers to these questions and more on the next episode of Big Brother, Goodnight Equestria”

The episode ends with all of the contestants congratulating Fluttershy on her victory.
