Big Brother
Chapter 9: Casualty Of War
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Hello Equestria” said Vinyl “You’re tuned in to the hottest show of the summer, in which 14 contestants are pitted against each other and eliminated each week, tonight is the second eviction of the season, but before the eviction Twilight will have a tough choice of whether or not to veto one of her prior nominations to replace with some pony else, get ready for another great episode of Big Brother”
The camera switches over to the left bedroom where Spitfire and Rainbow Dash are talking.
“Awesome” said Rainbow Dash while exhaling a sigh of relief “thank you Spitfire, I promise you won’t regret this decision”
“I better not” said Spitfire “I’m only keeping you around because unlike Fleetfoot you’ll be better at following orders than she ever was, just don’t make any stupid mistakes”
“Oh trust me” said Rainbow Dash “you’ve got nothing to fear, I’ll do whatever you tell me if you keep me safe”
“Good” said Spitfire “why don’t you go get yourself some food before the eviction”
“Ok” said Rainbow Dash excitedly
The camera switches over to the sitting room where Lyra is talking to Rarity.
“Just remember to vote against Fleetfoot” said Lyra “Twilight told me that she’s her target”
“So” said Rarity “why does Fleetfoot want Applejack gone so badly?”
“Twilight hasn’t told me yet” said Lyra “I guess she hasn’t gotten around to asking yet”
“Well maybe” said Rarity “maybe I should go ask her”
Rarity quickly left the room not giving Lyra a chance to respond and headed toward the Right Bedroom where she believed Applejack to be.
“Applejack” said Rarity, entering the room noticing Fluttershy and Soarin sitting on the bed at the end of the room “oh uh hi, Fluttershy, uh I was just looking for Applejack”
“She’s in the kitchen” said Soarin
“Ok” said Rarity leaving the room heading for the kitchen
“What was that all about?” asked Fluttershy
“I have no idea” said Soarin
The camera switches over to the kitchen where Applejack was looking through the pantry for some food, she found a red bag with the word skittles in white letters on the side, she read the back which said the green ones tasted like apples but when she ate it she found a completely different taste that was far more sugary than any apple she had ever tasted.
“Apple flavored” said Applejack eating another of the small round candies “yeah right”
Rarity entered the kitchen just as Applejack ate another skittle.
“Hello Applejack” said Rarity “I was wondering if I could ask you something”
“Sure” said Applejack “what do you want to know?”
“Well” said Rarity “as you know Twilight believes that Fleetfoot is manipulating Rainbow Dash and that she is the one who truly wants you gone”
“Yep” said Applejack taking another skittle from the bag “what about it”
“Well I was wondering if you knew of any reason why she would want you gone so bad” stated Rarity “do you have any bad history with her?”
“Not that I can think of” said Applejack “I’ve only seen her once before, when we went to cloudsdale for the best flier competition and Rainbow did that fancy sonic rainboom”
“Maybe” said Rarity with a look of sudden realization on her face “Maybe she’s afraid of how great of a team you and Rainbow Dash would make if you worked together, after all the only reason given for your being on the block was you being a big threat”
“You might be right” said Applejack “so if we get rid of Fleetfoot maybe Rainbow will stop acting strange and we can all work together”
“Uh, yes exactly” said Rarity “well this has been a good talk, thank you Applejack”
“My pleasure” said Applejack “now y’all take care of yourself now”
The camera switches over to the outside area where Scootaloo, Babs, and Sweetie Belle are all talking excitedly.
“You know what I just realized” said Sweetie Belle “If one of us wins this we could get our cutie mark for it”
“What makes you think that?” asked Babs
“Because it would make us unique” said Sweetie Belle “the winner would be the only pony to ever do it”
“Yeah except that when they make a new season we won’t be the only one to have won” said Scootaloo “plus its obvious Rainbow Dash will win, she wins at everything”
“But it’s worth a shot” said Sweetie Belle “right?”
“Yeah” said Scootaloo “it is worth a try”
“Then you know what” said Babs “we should join together to make sure we make it somewhere”
“I’m in” stated Sweetie Belle “how about you Scootaloo?”
“I guess so” said Scootaloo
“Then it’s agreed” said Babs “the Cutie Mark Crusaders are now an alliance”
“All right” said Vinyl over the speaker system “all contestants in the living room for the eviction ceremony”
All of the contestants filed into the living room and took their seats with Rainbow Dash, and Fleetfoot sitting in the red nominee seats at the back of the room.
“Ok” said Vinyl “now twilight as the holder of the power of veto you may now change one of your nominations”
Twilight Sparkle stood up and walked over to the table sitting down the veto necklace down on it.
“I have decided not to use the power of veto” said Twilight walking back to her seat
“There you have it” said Vinyl “Rainbow Dash, Fleetfoot one of you will be eliminated tonight, but before the votes are cast you each get one last chance to explain why you should stay, Rai’nbow Dash”
“Well I’m not entirely sure how to defend myself I guess I’ll just have to sit and hope for the best, whatever you chose I’ll respect your decision”
“Ok” said Vinyl “Fleetfoot”
“Well the only argument I need to make is that Rainbow Dash is by far the strongest competitor here so it’s only logical to eliminate her as fast as possible”
“There you have it” said Vinyl “now as I call your names you will enter the voting room and cast your votes, Twilight as the current HOH you will only vote in the case of a tie, first up to vote is Applejack”
Applejack got up and walked down the hallway to the voting room.
“Hello Applejack” said Vinyl “please cast your vote to evict”
“Hello Vinyl” said Applejack “I cast my vote to evict Fleetfoot”
Applejack exited the voting room passing by Sweetie Belle on the way out.
“Hello Sweetie Belle” said Vinyl “Please cast your vote”
“I vote to evict” stated the little white unicorn “Rainbow Dash”
Sweetie Belle walked out of the room and down the hall to be followed by seven other contestants with Spitfire being the final vote.
“Hello Spitfire” said Vinyl “please cast your vote to evict”
“I vote to evict Fleetfoot” she said as she walked out of the room
“All right” said Vinyl “the votes have been cast, when I say the name of the evicted houseguest they must leave the Big Brother house for good, here we go by a vote of 8 to 2, Fleetfoot you are evicted from the Big Brother house”
Fleetfoot got up almost instantly and without saying a word walked, head held low to the door and left the Big Brother house for good.
The camera switched over to the stage that Vinyl Scratch was standing on.
“Here she is” said Vinyl “Fleetfoot”
Fleetfoot walked out to the stage and stood beside Vinyl Scratch.
“So, Fleetfoot” said Vinyl “how does it feel to be the second contestant voted off of the show?”
“It sucks” said Fleetfoot “but in the end its my fault, I shouldn’t have gone and talked to Twilight without Spitfire’s orders”
“Well as I will ask every eliminated contestant” said Vinyl “who do you see winning this game?”
“I want to say Spitfire will win, but honestly I can see Soarin, or Scootaloo winning this in the end, because even though Spitfire is the best tactician in Equestria she can’t go without making enemies and that will be her downfall”
“Well there you have it, sorry things didn’t work out for you but that’s just how the game goes, be sure to tune in next Sunday for the next HOH competition here on Big Brother, goodnight Equestria”
The episode ends with all of the contestants gathered around the faces wall watching while Fleetfoot’s picture faded to grayscale.
