‘Twas the same night as the previous two chapters. Well, they weren’t at night, but the same day, at night.

“A hundred and sixteen points,” Twilight said, proud of the “zelkova” she had made for her first turn.

“Zelkova isn’t a word, Twilight,” Rainbow Dash said.

“Look it up.”

“Fine. Gimme the laptop.”

A laptop was given. Rainbow looked up the supposed word at that page. You know, that page on the Hasbro site. With the searching the Scrabble dictionary. You’ve been there, right? Of course you have.

“Okay, so it is a word.”

“I told you.”

“Well, sorry for not believing zelkova is a word. And you’re lucky you got those tiles.”

“I’d like to see what you would’ve done with them.”

Scrabble ensued for the next few hours.

“So how badly did I lose?” Rainbow said.

“The final score’s... carry the i... 1,337 to 128.”

“Well, I didn’t do as bad as last time.”

“Nice part of speech, Rainbow, and I guess it is technically an improvement....”

“So what are we playing next?”

“I’ll get that game with the shuffleboard expansion.”

“That one? Do you want me to lose all my self-esteem?”

“To be honest, you could do with a little less self-esteem.”

“Fine....”

And so Twilight went to some room to get some game. Instead of her immediately coming back next sentence, a filler conversation happened.

“Hey, camerapony #3,” Rainbow said in an awkward silence avoidal attempt.

“What? I’m trying to have an awkwardness prevention talk.”

“Yeah, me too.”

“I don’t care.”

“Oh. Then I guess I’ll just have to sit here and live through the awkwardness.”

“You do that.” She went back to talking with camerapony #4.

And so Rainbow sat through the awkwardness. Twilight came back with a board game with a very generic-looking cover similar to the one for Sorry!, upon which was written the game’s name, “Verenhimo!”. Eighty minutes later, the game was all set up.

“So who’s going first?” Twilight asked the question obvious to ponies who had played the game before. “I mean, we’re supposed to do it randomly, but who does that.”

“Well, you can do it by age if you want, but our ages are funny anyway....”

“Yeah. So anyway, how should we do it this time?”

“Camerapony #3 should decide.”

“She’s clearly very busy. Spike should decide.”

“You know Spike’s gonna be biased. And look at camerapony #3. She’s clearly not doing anything of value to society at the moment.”

“It’s OOC of you to say ‘at the moment’. Like, can you imagine—”

“I don’t care. Hey, camerapony #3, who should go first?”

“Twilight.”

“For fff... aust’s sakes, fine. Twilight, what category do you want?”

“Water polo history.”

“Okay. Which country won the women’s gold medal at the 2004 Earth Olympics?”

“Um... Hungary?”

“Wrong! It was Italy. You got a question wrong and you’re Twilight!”

“I know....”

“Okay, I want a film question.”

“ProQuest was originally founded under this name.”

“Oh, I know I’ve got this question before... um... University Microfilms!”

“Nope. The answer’s what is University Microfilms.”

“Dammit....”

“Well, nopony got a question right this round,” Twilight explained a rule for you, “So it’s time for the lightning round. I want an orange question.”

“Orangesareamemberofwhattaxonomicfamily?”

“Rutaceae!”

“Correct! Here’re the dice.” Rainbow hooved Twilight 2d4.

“Will the entire chapter be about this?” camerapony #4 said. “I mean, we saw a few turns, so can we go now?”

“But we didn’t even get to the miniature shuffleboard area!” Twilight said.

“Could you ponies go for dinner right now?”

“Yeah.” “Definitely.” “AFFIRMATIVE!”

“You ponies have sex or whatever, we’re gonna go to Olive Garden.”

“We’re not going to have sex,” Rainbow said.

Twilight got under the table and started kissing Rainbow’s hoof a bunch.

“If you really wanna.”

Twilight went back into her seat. “I wasn’t even horny at all, that was just an automatic reaction.”

“Oh. So you’re fine?”

“Kissing your hoof kinda made me horny.”

“So do you wanna have sex or not?”

“I do.”

The cameraponies and transcriber left, then Rainbow and Twilight presumably finished their game and/or had sex or something, but we don’t know because there were no cameraponies or transcribers there.
