Time for Apple Bloom's third Fibbage challenge. This one has a twist.

July 17-Fibbage 3:Enough About You

After two sessions of Fibbage, Apple Bloom wanders how she'll handle the remaining two. She went up to what looks like a school. While she was facing the Flim Flam Brothers, somebody sent a note from this school. Seems as she was invited to this place. As she approached the school, there was Cranky Doodle waiting for her.

"Mr. Cranky Doodle!" Apple Bloom gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"Your sister told me that you're spending the summer here in Jackbox Village." Cranky Doodle answered. "And, she arranged for you to take on this Fibbage challenge."

"That's right, sir. I survived two of them games thus far."

"This is where I come in. I have a room in this school set for a game of Fibbage 3: Enough About You."

Apple Bloom is a little confused. "Enough About You? What's that mean?"

"Come with me." Mr. Cranky Doodle said. "And, you'll see."

Apple Bloom was lead into a classroom with eight tables, each with a laptop. She soon saw Diamond Tiara, Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry, Trixie, Twilight Sparkle, Wallflower Blush, and Fluttershy.

"You guys were invited here too?" Apple Bloom asked.

"That we are." Trixie responded. "What for, we don't know."

Cranky Doodle soon came to the big desk.

"All right, students." Cranky Doodle said. "You may think you know each other well. But, this little game of Fibbage 3 will see how well. Each of you will receive a prompt about you. Answer as honest as you can."

Answer honestly. That's what Apple Bloom can do. She sees a prompt that matches her perfectly. She writes down a good response. Cranky Doodle begins the game. "To start with, If WALLFLOWER can harness a scent to her body, what scent would it be? Write down answers you think will fool the other players."

Everybody started writing their responses, when the seven players are done, eight possible answers appeared on their screens.

"Now, which is actually correct?" Cranky Doodle asked.

They looked at all of the possibilities. Soon, the answers were shown one at a time. The answer 'Perfume' appeared. Two were fooled. That turned out to be Sunset Shimmer's response. "Come on. You guys know that me and Wallflower have a relationship."

Wallflower felt her face turning red. The true answer was 'Flowers'. Fluttershy answered that one correct. Wallflower turned to the others who looked confused. "What? You guys saw my garden. I like growing flowers, you know."

The game continues with everyone learning facts they never knew before. Like Twilight wanting to learn Karate so she can defend herself. And, Trixie always wanting to try yoga. Cranky Doodle spoke again. If APPLE BLOOM can change something about herself, what would it be? Type in your lies now?"

This got her nervous. She sees the right possible answers. I hope they can guess my response.

Soon, the answers appeared one at a time. When the answer 'Never invent Anon-a-Miss' appeared, four of the players guessed it correctly. Apple Bloom soon saw her score jump by four thousand.

"What?" Apple Bloom gasped. "Where did that boost come from?"

Flash Sentry gave her an explanation. "When a question about you is presented, not only does each person get 1,000 for a correct guess, but the person that the question is about gets 1,000 for each right guess."

"Flash is correct, Apple Bloom." Cranky Doodle added. "That's called a Reputation Bonus."

Apple Bloom was surprised about that. At least her honesty about Anon-a-Miss is helping her. After all eight players had their questions presented, the score reads that Apple Bloom is in the lead with Trixie not far behind.

"Very impressive, Apple Bloom." Trixie commented. "But, the Great and Powerful Trixie shall prevail!"

"Take it down a few notches, Trixie." Diamond said.

After everybody had a good chuckle, Cranky Doodle made an announcement. "Time for the final round. You will each write one truth and one lie about yourself. Each correct guess is worth 500 points. Each wrong guess will give the player the question is about 250 for each wrong guess. Let's get to it. Shall we?"

Everybody got busy writing one true fact and one lie. After all is done, the prompts were shown one at a time. Sunset's statements are 'I play rock' and I play Classical'. Four of them guessed correctly. The other three guess wrong.

"Sorry, Wallflower." Sunset said. "You, Trixie, and Diamond should've known better."

Apple Bloom wrote 'I still spread rumors' and 'I no longer spread rumors'. Flash figured that she's still tells falsehoods. So does Trixie and Diamond. But, Apple Bloom is no longer Anon-a-Miss. So, she got 750 for fooling them. She is also getting 500 points for each correct guess. Soon, all eight questions are done.

"You all did good." Cranky Doodle said. '"But, only one of you wins this. And, the winner of this game of Fibbage 3 is......" The crowd was getting nervous. Seconds later, the winner's name is announced. "Trixie Lulamoon!"

Trixie was shocked. Is seems that luck was with her. Everybody clapped for her, including Apple Bloom.

"Thank you, my friends." Trixie said as she bowed to the crowd. "I admit. I just got lucky. Apple Bloom did give me a run for my money. Let's hear it for her as well."

Everybody clapped for Apple Bloom as she and Trixie hugged each other. Later, the group of students left the school and headed back to Canterlot. Before Apple Bloom left for her summer house, Cranky Doodle stopped her for a moment.

"You did good this game, Apple Bloom." Cranky Doodle praised. "You adjusted to this game series well."

"Thank you, Mr. Cranky Doodle." Apple Bloom said happily. "The unity of my family was gratefully restored during our times in the Quixort Factory and the Poll Mine."

"Excellent. There's nothing anyone likes more than the unity of the Apple Family. Just remember, there's one more Fibbage game left. Be ready for anything."

As Apple Bloom heads back to the Felmanders' house, she figured that Mr. Cranky Doodle is right. This last Fibbage game could be tricky.
