Why is this my life?

Chapter 9: Reality TV

Previous Chapter

It was Saturday morning, Gamertag was on the couch playing video games.

While Gamertag was playing, she heard the sound of one of the doors opening, and then the sound of hooves.

"Good morning Game Shard!" Gamertag yelled, still concentrating on her game.

"Mhm," Game Shard mumbled, rubbing her eye. Game Shard had never been much of a morning person. Game Shard went into the kitchen to make some coffee. As she started making the coffee, she found a name tag on the table, it read GamerShard. Game Shard quickly hide the name tag into one of the kitchen cabinets.

"So, how was the reunion," Game Shard asked, taking a sip of her newly made coffee.

Gamertag paused her game before answering, "It was.... Interesting..."

"Oh? In what way?"

"Many ways..." Gamertag said and then continued playing her game.

Game Shard shrugged and started making food. A few minutes later their door was slammed open.

"Guys! Look what I found in the paper!" Kiara squealed, holding a newspaper.

"And good morning to you too Kiara." Game Shard said and then took another sip of coffee.

Kiara then ran to their couch and sat down next to Gamertag, she then showed her the newspaper she had in her magic.

"Ten ponies needed for television show, nine mares and one stallion," Gamertag read. Game Shard joined them on the couch.

"We should all join!" Kiara said.

"I don't know, it seems kind of stupid," Game Shard said.

"But don't you want to be FAMOUS!" A voice yelled.

Gamertag, Game Shard, and Kiara all looked into the kitchen, where Moonshine was, wearing star shaped sunglasses and holding cameras in her magic.

"Good morning Moonshine," Gamertag and Game Shard said at the same time. Kiara just had her mouth open in shock.

"MOONSHINE?! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!" Kiara asked.

"I think we should do it. We'll get more money and it may be fun," Gamertag said.

"AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS QUESTIONING HOW MOONSHINE GOT IN HERE?!" Kiara yelled.

"Yep." Moonshine said.

"Pretty much." Game Shard said

"I stopped questioning things a long time ago." Gamertag said.

Kiara just stared at all of them like they were crazy.

"Well, this was fun but I really need to go and ask everypony else if they want to join us on the show so, bye guys!" Kiara said and then left their apartment.

"Wait, wouldn't she have asked John first?" Game Shard asked.

"Yeah, she probably did it when he was half asleep and didn't even know what she was talking about," Gamertag explained.

~~~The next day~~~

"I didn't agree to this," John said.

Gamertag, Game Shard, John, Kiara, Moonshine, Shooting Star, Rift Raft, Blaze, Skyler, and Sound Blast were all outside a giant mansion. The advertisement in the newspaper said that this was where the show was going to be filmed.

"Then why are you here?" Shooting Star asked.

"Because I thought Kiara said 'Hey want to see my new job?'" John explained.

"Well, we're already here so we might as well go inside," Skyler said.

And then they walked into the mansion.

~~~Inside the mansion~~~

Once they got inside the door shut behind them, leaving them in complete darkness.


"Well.... This is certainly a lot more dark then I thought it would be," Game Shard said.


"You know, they are probably going to steal our kidneys," Skyler said.

"Charlie, let's go to candy mountain!" Blaze joked.

"Candy mountain?" Sound Blast questioned.

"OH GOD, BLAZE HAS BEEN DRUGGED," Rift Raft yelled.

"Calm down! Nopony has been drugged!" Shooting Star yelled.

"I for one, believe candy mountain is over rated, I believe we should all go to Rainbow Funshine," John said with a grin. Although he couldn't see, he knew Game Shard was glaring at him.

"OW!" Sound Blast all of a sudden yelled, "Somepony hit me!"

"Sorry! I am trying to hit John," Game Shard explained.

"OW! Game Shard!" Gamertag complained after being hit by Game Shard as well.

"Sorry!" Game Shard yelled, still trying to hit John.

"I think I found- Hey! Who stopped my hoof," Game Shard complained.

"I did!" Moonshine answered.

"Moonshine?! I thought you would find the idea of me hitting everypony extremely entertaining," Game Shard said in confusion.

"Of course I would! It's just that Shooting Star offered me a chocolate bar if I stopped you," Moonshine explained.

"How can you see in the dark anyway?" John asked.

"She's a bloody unicorn you idiot," Skyler explained.

"I used a night vision spell!" Moonshine said.

"Wait, you can see?! Tell us what you see!" Gamertag said.

"Well, I see a whole bunch of ponies trying not to laugh at us, OH! And cameras," Moonshine answered.

"Wait... Are they recording us?" Game Shard asked.

Her question was answered by another pony.

"HELLO FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS, AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF, WATCH THE STALLION PICK A MAREFRIEND OUT OF TEN MARES!" A stallion wearing a suit and sunglasses yelled.

WHAT?!" Gamertag, Game Shard, John, Kiara, Shooting Star, Rift Raft, Blaze, Sound Blast, and Skyler yelled at the same time.

~~~The amount of time a intro to a show is~~~

"Welcome back to 'Watch a Stallion pick a Marefriend out of ten mares'! Now, let's go meet our contestants!" The host announced.

The host then walked up next to John, "So you're our stallion of the hour! How do you feel knowing that you will get to take one of these pretty Mares home with you?" The host asked.

"Well to be completely honest Tom-"

"My name is not Tom."

"I don't care. I feel like... KILLING KIARA RIGHT NOW!" John yelled and then bolted towards Kiara, but was stopped by Shooting Star, grabbing him with her magic.

"Woah, easy there tiger, save the sex scenes for later," The host said with a grin.

"THE WHAT?!" Kiara screamed.

The host then walked up to Shooting Star, "So, what do you think are your chances with John?" The host asked.

"I don't know nor care. All I am worried about is if all of us won't kill each other," Shooting Star answered, struggling to hold John with her magic.

"Oh! You're worried that all the Mares will go crazy over him," The host said.

"No! I mean that-" Shooting Star started but it was too late, the host had already walked up to Rfit Raft.

"So, what do you think your chances are with John?" The host asked.

"I bet I could win John's heart in a heartbeat, but I don't want that. I believe that him and Kiara will end up together," Rift Raft answered with a smug grin.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Kiara yelled and then tackled Rift Raft to the floor and the two started fighting.

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Blaze chanted.

"BLAZE! DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM!" Sound Blast yelled.

"Oh! It looks like we already have a cat fight folks!" The host exclaimed.

Just then, Shooting Star lost control of her magic, and John became free. John quickly joined the fight between Kiara and Rift Raft.

"Well, this was a bad idea," Gamertag said.

"YA THINK?!" Game Shard shouted.

~~~Later~~~

"Welcome back! So now we are going to have each mare go on a date with John!" The host explained, and then the clips of the dates started.

~~~Other Mare~~~

John sat at one end of a table, and the other mare sat at the other end.

"Well, hello there big boy," The mare said in a seductive tone, climbing over the table to get closer to John.

"What are you-" John started but stopped when she put her hoof on his lips.

"Shut up you handsome stallion. If you choose me, then I will guarantee you will have the time of your life in bed," The mare said, coming so close to John that their muzzles touched.

~~~Meanwhile~~~

"I don't like that mare," Kiara growled.

"Why? She is just here so that the viewers will get to have a 'hot couple' to root for," Skyler said.

"C'mon Mares, we are going to make sure that John doesn't end up with her!" Kiara exclaimed, completely ignoring Skyler's comment.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Sound Blast said, scared.

"So do the rest of us." Gamertag said.

~~~Gamertag~~~

"I can't believe we are doing this," John said, his head on the table.

"At this rate, I bet you and the table are going to end up together," Gamertag laughed.

"You're like my sister! This is so weird!" John yelled, taking his head off the table.

"Meh, I don't really care. We can just talk like we normally do, it's not like anything is going to change," Gamertag said.

"CUT!" The host yelled and then walked over to Gamertag and John, "We are ending this date early, the viewers want ROMANCE, not friendship!"

Gamertag and John looked at each other. Gamertag shrugged and then walked away.

~~~Game Shard~~~

"Well this is great! Now I am going to keep thinking about the time I kissed you for this whole thing," Game Shard said, resting her head onto her hoof.

"Don't beat yourself up, you were drunk, it's not like I hold it against you or something," John said, trying to comfort Game Shard.

"You two kissed?! Elaborate!" The host exclaimed, bringing his microphone closer to Game Shard.

"No thank you, I am not comfortable with doing that," Game Shard said, pushing the microphone away.

"Too bad, you have to, it's in your contract," The host said with a grin.

"We didn't sign a contract," John said, raising his eyebrow.

"Yes you- wait a minute... DID WE GET THEM TO SIGN A CONTRACT?!" The host yelled, walking away to talk to the staff.

Game Shard and John looked at each other, Game Shard shrugged.

~~~Meanwhile~~~

"THEY KISSED?!" Kiara yelled.

Gamertag and Kiara were watching John and Game Shard's date live on TV.

"Yeah... Game Shard does that when she's drunk," Gamertag explained.

"Oh, so the kiss wasn't really real?" Kiara asked.

"Yeah," Gamertag answered.

"Thank Celestia," Kiara mumbled.

~~~Rift Raft~~~

"DRINKING RACE! ONE TWO THREE GO!" Rift Raft yelled and then started chugging a glass of cider.

"You know, I am surprised Rift Raft. You have always been competitive at everything, why not at this?" John asked.

Rift Raft finished her cider and wiped her mouth, then she spoke, "Because everypony knows you and Kiara will end up together,"

John glared at her, but then grinned when he got an idea, "Sure, that's the reason. Not because you want to end up with Shooting Star,"

At that, Rift Raft started glaring at John and slowly got up from her seat. John then got out of his seat and slowly started backing away.

"And this is when I run away," John said and then started running away, Rift Raft following close behind.

~~~Shooting Star~~~

"Wow Shooting Star, I had no idea you would be so rude as to read on a date," John said with a grin.

Shooting Star was sitting in front of him, she had her muzzle in a book.

"Shut up John, I am trying to learn how to make a bomb with materials found in homes," Shooting Star said, still keeping her eyes on the book.

"Hey there love birds! May I ask why Shooting Star is reading a book?" The host asked.

"Oh, it is a book about how to win somepony's heart," Shooting Star lied.

"Well does the book tell you to not read during a date?" The host joked.

Shooting Star looked up at him and glared,
"No, it says to throw the book at the host,"

"Wait what-" The host started but stopped when a book came flying at him and hit him right in the muzzle.

~~~Moonshine~~~

"So Johnny boy, do you want me to act like Kiara so you can pretend you finally got on a date with her?" Moonshine asked with a grin.

John blushed, "What?! No!"

"Oh right, I forgot. You are already going to be able to go on a date with her," Moonshine said, still grinning.

"CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT MARE?!" John yelled.

"Nah, the viewers love me too much for me to leave, so why don't I tell you a story!" Moonshine said and then teleported away, she came back wearing a cowboy hat and a star shaped badge.

"Did I ever tell you the story of when I had a showdown at dawn?" Moonshine said in a voice that sounded like a man that smokes.

"Wait, YOU CAN TELEPORT OUT OF HERE?! WHY DON'T YOU TELEPORT US OUT?!" John yelled.

"Because, it is so funny to watch this! I can see why this is a show!" Moonshine answered, she then teleported away again and came back with popcorn.

Moonshine shoved some popcorn into her mouth and said, "So, out of all the Mares here who do you think is the hottest?"

John sighed in annoyance and smacked his head down onto the table.

"Hm, it seems Gamertag was right, you will end up with the table," Moonshine said and then shoved more popcorn into her mouth.

Then all of a sudden, one of the stallions from the staff passed out.

"Oops, looks like I put in a little too much alcohol into the cupcakes..." Moonshine said.

John lifted his head from the table to look at Moonshine, she then yelled, "YOU PUT ALCOHOL IN THE CUPCAKES?!"

"Yeah, as well as all the other foods, OH! And the drinks too," Moonshine said casually and then shoved more popcorn into her mouth.

"WH-HOW- WA- WHY?!" John yelled.

"I thought it would be funny if everypony here was drunk," Moonshine said shrugging.

"SHE EVEN PUT MORE ALCOHOL INTO THE DRINKS THAT ALREADY HAD ALCOHOL!" One of the staff ponies yelled.

~~~Sound Blast~~~

Sound Blast was hiding under the table instead of sitting in her chair. She was trying to hide from the cameras.

"Come up here Sound Blast, I'll take you back to everypony else," John said comfortingly.

Sound Blast got up from the table and John put his wing around Sound Blast and started bringing her back to their friends but was stopped by the host.

"Perfect! Everypony loves the couples that have a shy Mare!" The host exclaimed.

John rolled his eyes before taking her away from the recording area.

"Thanks John, also you don't have to hide it, it's okay to say if you like Kiara," Sound Blast said with a conforming smile.

John blushed and looked away, "Yeah, well uh bye Sound Blast,"

John then walked back to the recording area.

~~~Blaze~~~

"Why the hell am I even here? I doubt anypony would even want us to end up together," Blaze asked annoyed.

"Ponies love beauty and the beast couples!" The host yelled.

Blaze sighed in annoyance, "Apparently, ponies like a lot of types of couples,"

"Apparently so," John said with a grin.

"Who's idea was it to have a dragon in the show?" The mare that tried to seduce John before complained.

"...THAT'S IT!" Blaze yelled and then flew towards the mare and tackled her to the ground and knocked over the camera.

~~~Skyler~~~

"I don't understand the point of having you date all of us, in the end you are just going to end up with that pretty mare that Blaze just mauled," Skyler said.

"Why in Equestria would I choose her?!" John yelled.

"You wouldn't, you would choose Kiara. But the shows want the pretty couple to end up together," Skyler explained.

"But that wouldn't be realistic!" John complained.

"Ha! You make it sound like they would care. Who would you choose anyway?" Skyler asked.

John opened his mouth to answer but stopped himself.

"See? We all know who you would choose, you are just too afraid to admit it John. Honestly you should be happy that they will choose for you," Skyler said, and then got up and left.

"They will let me choose, and I will choose who I want in front of everypony," John mumbled.

"Alright! Time for John to choose now!" The host yelled.

"But John didn't go on a date with Kiara yet," Gamertag complained.

"And we have only done one challenge. Normally there are more challenges and there is elimination," Game Shard complained.

"Well, Kiara has disappeared, and also not enough viewers are watching the show, so we only have one episode. Apparently viewers are too busy watching a show called 'My Little Human', ha weirdos..." The host mumbled.

"Alright, well I choose-" John started but was interrupted by the host.

"Wait John, before you choose I just need to tell you that you have to choose the pretty mare," The host explained.

"I have a name," The mare complained.

"Shush," The host shushed.

John looked at the host in shock, then at his friends for support. When his eyes landed on Skyler, he saw her mouth the words, 'I told you'.

"Okay fine, I choose, THE MAFIA, MOONSHINE GET THEM HERE NOW!" John yelled.

"What? How would I do that?" Moonshine asked.

"LIKE HOW YOU DID BEFORE!" Shooting Star yelled.

"Uh, I was with them before," Moonshine explained.

"Then call them!" Gamertag yelled.

"I don't have the Mafia on speed dial! I'm not crazy! But I do have Celestia on speed dial," Moonshine said, and pulled out her phone to call Celestia.

"You what?!" Everypony yelled.

"Hello?" Celestia asked, picking up the phone.

"Hi Celestia! How are-" Moonshine started but was interrupted by the host who grabbed her phone.

"CELESTIA I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!" The host yelled into the phone.

"DID SOMEPONY SAY LOVE?!" Kiara yelled, falling from the roof. Kiara then looked into the camera and said,

"THAT'S IT FOR THIS EPISODE OF.... WHATEVER, NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE FOUR STEPS TO DATING WITH KIARA!"

Kiara then dragged the host out of the mansion.

"I don't know whether this is a sad or happy ending," Gamertag said.

"Let's go with happy because I didn't have to kiss John again," Game Shard said.

Author's Notes:

I have no idea what I was on when I made this chapter :twilightoops:

I had a lot of fun with this chapter though, and I hope hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed making it!

I am worried that Sound Blast is become Fluttershy, but I planning on fixing that by developing her in the next chapter (Or later)

The next chapter will be fixing a problem I have been having with this story by changing the location.

See you all next Saturday! :twilightsmile:
