"Hello Equestria" Said Vinyl Scratch "you are now tuning in to the hottest show of the summer, last time we saw the little filly Applebloom eliminated by a consecutive vote from houseguests who wanted her to feel less homesick, tonight we'll have the second HOH competition of the season but with Rainbow Dash unable to compete she may just be in jeopardy of elimination herself after a failed attempt by her alliance to eliminate the farm pony Applejack, so without further ado lets start this episode of Big Brother"

"We need to win this HOH girls" said Twilight "if we don't one of us could wind up on the block and if we're on the block one of us might go home"

"Yes captain obvious" stated Lyra "we already know that theirs a chance of one of us going home if we're on the block, but that's not a new risk, that'll always be their Twilight and you're going to worry yourself to insanity if you don't just chill"

"Ok" sighed Twilight "ok, ok we just need to win this HOH competition"

"Don't you worry your pretty little head" stated Rarity "we'll make sure that we win this competition"

Taking a deep breath Twilight got up and walked out of the room.

"What do you thinks up with her?" asked Lyra

"She always had a tendency to freak out over this sort of thing" said Rarity

"Should we go talk to her?" asked Lyra

"No" stated Rarity "she just needs some time to herself"

The camera shifts to the HOH room where Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, and The Wonderbolts are discussing their game plan.

"I don't see what there is to discuss" said Rainbow Dash "you guys can win this challenge easy"

"Rainbow" sighed Spitfire "we need to be prepared for what to do if we don't win"

"But you're going to win" said Rainbow Dash "you have to, or at least keep Applejack from winning"

"Don't worry Rainbow Dash" said Scootaloo "It'll all be fine, lets go down to the kitchen for some food and you'll feel all better"

Rainbow Dash nodded and she and Scootaloo walked out of the HOH room and headed down to the kitchen leaving Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Soarin In the HOH room.

"So what do we do if we are on the block?" asked Fleetfoot

"If we are up for eviction" stated Spitfire "we make sure Rainbow or Scootaloo take the fall, after all they are just pawns"

The camera switches over to the pool area where Pinkie, Babs, and Sweetie Belle are playing a game of hide and seek.

"Ready or not here I come!" screeched Pinkie Pie "Now where might those little fillies be hiding?"

The pink pony walked across the simulated grass toward a fake bush that was slightly shuddering, Pinkie Pie creeped up to the bush.

"I gothcha" said Pinkie Pie startling Sweetie Belle who fell backwards into the pool "oh that was so much fun now lets find Babs"

Sweetie Belle scanned the far side of the room while Pinkie Pie crept up on another trembling simulation bush.

"Aha!" shouted Pinkie "I found you"

"Aww" said Babs "how did you find me"

"It was easy peasy lemon squeezy" stated Pinkie "I just snuck up on the only other bush and you were there"

"Well that was fun" said Sweetie Belle "to bad Applebloom isn't here"

"I know" said Babs "she would of loved this game"

"You know who else loved games?" asked Pinkie Pie "Gummy he was the best at hide and seek sometimes I could go days without finding him because he's so quiet"

"Ok I'm it now" stated Sweetie Belle "I'll count to ten and you girls go hi"

"All contestants meet in the arena room now" said Vinyl over the speakers "it's time for the HOH competition"

All of the houseguests filed into the arena room which had been redone to look like a classroom with 12 desks all separated by walls just large enough for no pony to see onto the adjacent desk.

"In this competition" said Vinyl "each pony except Rainbow Dash will compete for HOH, the goal is simple this is a test of your knowledge of Equestria, if you answer a question incorrectly your out, at the end of this contest the last remaining player will be crowned HOH"

All of the contestants competing in the competition take their positions at a desk.

"First question" said Vinyl "true or false Manehattan is larger in population than Baltimare?"

The camera flips to a view of all the contestants with: Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Spitfire, Babs, and Fleetfoot holding up true the rest held up false.

"The correct answer is true" said Vinyl "those who said false please step down"

The six eliminated contestants all stepped down from their desks and took their seats next to Rainbow Dash.

"Second question" stated Vinyl "what is the largest Pegasus settlement in Equestria?"

Twilight, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Rarity hold up Cloudsdale while Babs holds up Las Pegasus and Applejack seems to draw a blank.

"The correct answer is Cloudsdale" said Vinyl "Babs, Applejack please step down, now for the next question"

There was a short pause as Applejack and Babs took their seats.

"What causes a dragon to grow at an uncontrolled rate into a monster?"

Twilight and Rarity held up the answer greed, while Spitfire held up diamonds, and Fleetfoot held up cake.

"The answer is greed Spitfire, Fleetfoot step down please"

A look of terror spread across Rainbow Dashes face finally coming to terms with the possibility of elimination this early into the season was just unbearable for the Rainbow maned Pegasus.

"Final question" said Vinyl "whoever guesses closest to the answer wins, how many beans are in the jar in front of you"

A large jar filled to the rim with beans is raised up on a pedestal were the contestants can see.

The two contestants wrote down their answers, Twilight held up 472, while Rarity held up 319.

"And the answer is" said Vinyl "507 Twilight is the winner of this HOH competition'

All of the contestants except Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts walked up to congratulate Twilight for her victory.

The camera switches over to vinyl in the studio beside the Big Brother house.

"Well there you have it" said Vinyl "Twilight Sparkle, the second HOH of the season, but now that she has the power what will she do with it, will Rainbow Dash have a mental breakdown, and will Soarin ever get a word in edgewise all of these questions and more will be answered on the next episode of Big Brother, goodnight Equestria"

The episode ends with Twilight, Rarity, Lyra, and Fluttershy eading up to the HOH room.
