July 29-Split The Room

Apple Bloom just finished helping Olga with the house cleaning. Soon, she got a call from Sweetie Belle.

"Howdy, Sweetie Belle." Apple Bloom said. "What's up?"

"Me and Scootaloo were asked by Rarity to meet her at a unique store." Sweetie answered. "It's filled with unusual antiques."

"I think I know what store y'all are talking about. I pass by that place numerous times. See ya there."

Apple Bloom hung up as Olga approached her.

"I heard the conversation, my dear." Olga said. "You were a great help to me. Go and enjoy the fresh air."

Getting the hint, the farm girl left for her destination. Soon, in a shopping center, Apple Bloom entered a store with all kinds of stuff. Crystals, scented candles, and t shirts with yoga designs.

"This place is a yoga teacher's place to shop." Apple Bloom said.

Just then, in walks a fascinating woman with black and white striped hair in a mohawk. Apple Bloom recognized her. "Zecora? Is that you?"

"It is me. That fact is clear." Zecora replied. "Now, Apple Bloom. What brings you here?"

"I was told that two of my friends were in this place."

Zecora soon opened a door leading to a downstairs area. "Your two friends are down in the room. Try to ignore the scary gloom."

Apple Bloom cautiously walks down the stairs. In the bottom, she saw Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, and hugged them both.

"Glad you two are here." Apple Bloom said with relief.

"And, we aren't the only ones." Scootaloo added.

Apple Bloom saw that her sister, Applejack, and the other Rainbooms are here. And, they brought Starlight Glimmer with them.

"You're all here." Apple Bloom gasped.

"That's right, sis." Applejack replied. "Me and my friends here were asked to assemble here."

"And, as you can see," Sunset Shimmer added, "Starlight Glimmer is here too."

At that moment, in walks a humanoid cat wearing a gray suit. He addressed the group. "Excellent. You're all here. And, I see the Cutie Mark Crusaders are here as an audience."

"Who the heck is this?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Starlight Glimmer realized something. "I don't know who he is. But, I think we're all in for a game of Split the Room."

"Split the Room?" Fluttershy gasped. "Oh my!"

The cat raised his paw, and the whole group were transported into a strange area with stars surrounding them.

"Do not be afraid." The cat said. "I have brought you all here so we can have our game in peace."

"Feels like the atmosphere of when I had my nightmare." Twilight noticed.

"Easy, Twilight dear." Rarity said. She then turned to the cat. "Continue, sir."

The cat nodded and spoke again. "Now, each of you eight girls will see a scenerio on each of your smartphones. You will fill in a blank. Then, you'll all determine if you agree or disagree with the hypothetical. Thus, the title, Split the Room."

The girls each see their scenerio and finished them. The CMCs were very astounded by the surroundings.

"Feels like we're in another dimension." Sweetie Belle noticed.

"Yup." Apple Bloom added.

"The first story is titled 'Fashion Critic'." The cat announced. "You watch a fashion show where many models wear different styles. One of the surprising items is this.(Gem studded overalls) Can you picture yourself wearing this?"

Everybody soon chose sides. Four said NO. Three said YES. Rarity was shocked to learn it was Fluttershy's scenerio.

"How did you come up with that?" Rarity asked. "Was it from when Applejack told you about Trenderhoof?"

"Sorry, Rarity." Fluttershy said sadly. "I just thought of this. And, no. Applejack didn't tell me about that."

"Whoops. Sorry, darling."

The game goes on as the cat has another story. "This next one is 'Night of the Freaks'. Halloween is coming. And, you need to come up with a grand costume for an upcoming costume party. You decided to go as this.(Megan from the original MLP) Would other people at the party like this costume?"

The results, five people said YES, and two said NO. This was Starlight Glimmer's prompt.

"Why did you choose that?" Twilight asked. "After my experience as a pony in Equestria, this rubbed me the wrong way. No offense, Sunset."

"None taken." Sunset replied.

"I think that pink and blue outfit looks cute." Starlight confessed.

The CMCs chuckled a little. The game continues as the girls learned something about each other they never knew. Soon, the cat got their attention. "Okay, friends. Time for the final score."

Eight pieces went up a scale. One of them, a horse head went the highest. The cat announced the winner. "Congratulations, Rainbow Dash. You have done well. Your yoga experience won you the game."

Soon, the group returned to the basement of the store. After exiting the place, the girls talked about what they've learned.

"I'm surprised you want to be more serious, Pinkie." Fluttershy said.

"I figured that I have to show Limestone I'm not a complete goof." Pinkie informed.

"Speaking of serious," Apple Bloom interrupted, "you want to take up martial arts, Fluttershy?"

"Well, I can't be shy and nervous all the time." Fluttershy admitted.

Twilight gave the girls her confession. "My parents and big brother want me to learn to defend myself too. Maybe I'll join you, Fluttershy."

Very soon, the girls all went off. Applejack said goodbye to her sister.

"Thanks for joining us, sis." Applejack said. "I heard that you met that cat a couple of weeks ago."

"Yup." Apple Bloom replied. "That was after Garble and his bunch tried to get me in trouble."

"Oh yeah, I heard of that. Well, you're doing better now. Say HI to the Felmanders fer me."

"I will. Bye, Applejack."

As Apple Bloom returns to her summer home. A thought came to her mind. There are fifty games all together in those ten Jackbox Party Packs And, i experienced twenty five. That's half of fifty. I'm on a roll.

This made her feel happy as she makes her way back home. One fact for sure, She'll never forget her experience in the world of 'Split the Room'.
