What do you get when you connect trivia with many ways to die? Apple Bloom's next experience. That's what.

July 11-Trivia Murder Party

Apple Bloom walked down the street with a backpack with her. She and her friends of the CMCs were invited to a slumber party, along with Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Babs Seed. At a big and comfy looking house, Apple Bloom arrived. And the other girls were there.

"It sure is nice of that girl, Millie, to invited us to spend the night with her." Apple Bloom said happily.

"That's for sure, cousin." Babs added. "It's nice to get out of Canterlot for a while."

The other girls agreed. Soon, a girl with wavy light brown hair opened the door. "Hi, guys. Welcome to my house."

"Thanks for inviting us, Millie." Diamond said.

"It's my pleasure. Come on in."

The girls came in to have a fun night. Little does anybody know that a shadowy figure watches from a distance.

Later, night came. The girls dressed in their sleepwear, and got comfortable as they set up their sleeping bags. Dressed in a short sleeve lavender nightgown, Millie addressed her guests. "I need to head for the bathroom. I'll be right back."

Just as Millie went away, a shadowy hand reached for a switch and turned the lights out. Minutes later, Millie returns to the room. But noticed that it was dark. "Who turned the lights out?!"

When she turned the lights back on, she sees the room is surprisingly empty. "What happened to my guests?"

In another area, a dark male voice speaks. "Wake up, girls. WAKE UP!"

The six girls then find themselves as creepy looking dolls.

"What happened?" Scootaloo asked. She then realized that she's a purple shark doll. "What happened to me?"

"The same thing that happened to all of us." Diamond Tiara said. She became a green human doll.

They looked at their friends. Apple Bloom became a purple plushie, Silver Spoon is a vicious looking red monster, Babs is a gray pillow, and Sweetie Belle became a magenta sad looking doll.

"Hey!" Scootaloo shouted. "What's going on?!"

"Hello, friends!" The male voice said. "Are you ready for my game?"

Apple Bloom realized what's going on. "Guys, I think we're gonna play Trivia Murder Party."

"TRIVIA MURDER PARTY?!" The girls said in unison.

"That's right." The voice replied. "I am your host. Call me the Trivia Psycho!"

"Psycho is right." Silver said nervously.

"Let's get this party started. Okay, first question. What group of friends include Mary Ann, Stacey, Kristy, and Claudia?"

The girls were given four choices. Each gave their own answers. The Trivia Psycho them spoke up. "The answer is: The Baby Sitters Club. Now, who got the question right?"

Green checks appeared over the dolls. But, a red X appeared over Scootaloo. This pleased the Psycho. "This leaves only you. I want to show you something."

Scootaloo was taken to another area.

"Welcome to the Killing Floor." The Trivia Psycho explained. "Here's where you fight for your life."

Soon, the shadowy figure chose a game. "This one is called 'Math'. Try to solve as many math problems as you can." The five other dolls appeared. "Everybody else is playing too. If anybody does better than you, you die!"

The six girls tried solving math problems as quickly as possible. Time soon ran out. Scootaloo solved 16 problems. To her surprise, Apple Bloom solved 18 problems. The Trivia Psycho soon spoke to Scootaloo. "I guess Math isn't your strong suit."

The shark doll was soon frozen. The plush crumbled apart, and left behind a ghostly skeleton.

"You're a ghost now, Scootaloo." Said the Trivia Psycho. "But, you can still play. At the end, you might steal somebody's life force and win the game."

And, the game, and punishments go on. Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara were thrusted into a game of Chalices. They drank from unique glasses. But, Apple Bloom's glass contained poison, and she bursted into flames. Silver Spoon engaged into making words out of a grid of letters. Sweetie Belle made a longer word, and Silver got pelted by nails.

Diamond and Babs wrote answers to a interesting question. The ghosts and living doll said that Diamond's answer was the worst. So, her doll got sliced and diced. Babs was unfortunately subjected to the Loser Wheel. She spins and hopes it stops on 'LIVE'. No such luck. It stopped on DEATH, and she got hit with electricity.

The sad magenta doll with Sweetie's spirit was left. The Trivia began to speak to her. "You're the only one who's left alive. But, can you escape? I'm going to give you a category. Determine if any of the two choices fit. The category is Red Fruits."

The choices were Apples and Tomatoes. Remembering that Tomatoes are fruits as well, she chose both answers, and finds herself moving to the exit.

"You move one space for each correct answer." The Trivia Psycho explained. "But, the ghosts are playing this final round too. And, in these categories at this point, the ghosts will get a third choice so they can catch up to you."

As Sweetie Belle battles in this challenge, the ghosts try to catch up to her. Just then, darkness is coming behind them. Suddenly, Apple Bloom got sucked into the darkness. Sweetie and the other ghosts were nervous. "APPLE BLOOM!"

Apple Bloom found herself in the darkness. She was changed back to normal, and heard the voice of the Trivia Psycho. "Sorry, you lost. But, you'll be fine, I promise. You'll be taken to another part of this house. At least that girl, Millie, will be glad that you're okay."

When the shadows leave, Apple Bloom finds herself in the kitchen. Millie wanders in and sees the farm girl.

"Apple Bloom!" Millie gasped. "You're okay!"

"I guess you're right." Apple Bloom replied as she and Millie hugged each other.

Minutes later, Babs Seed walked down the stairs. The two girls saw her coming.

"I guess you lost too. Huh, Cousin?" AB asked.

"Yup." Babs replied. "That Trivia Psycho sent me to a media room."

Then, they heard something from outside. Millie opened the back door and saw Sweetie Belle. "How did you get out here?"

"I was in the darkness." Sweetie Belle said. "Then, that Trivia guy brought me here."

Meanwhile, the three remaining girls were still playing with Scootaloo in the lead. But, after answering the next prompt, Diamond Tiara surged ahead, swipes Scootaloo's life force, and exiting the final room. This leaves Scootaloo and Silver in the darkness. Silver got together with the others from the basement while Scootaloo left a tool shed in the backyard. Diamond Tiara appeared in the Slumber party area.

"That was some experience." Diamond said as the other girls came in. "One way or another, I win the game."

The girls clapped for Diamond as Millie left the room. "I'll make some hot chocolate."

As the girls try to relax again, Apple Bloom had a thought. I have a feeling I haven't heard the last of that madman.
