A nature hike turns into a meeting with a Trivia deity.

June 29-The Wheel of Enormous Proportions

The sun is shining in a nature trail as Fluttershy and Tree Hugger take a peaceful nature walk. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack went along with them.

"It's a beautiful day for a walk." Fluttershy said.

"I agree." Rarity added. "The sun is shining, there's a gentle breeze in the air, and the views are magnificent."

Applejack got a bit annoyed. "But, how come we have to bring those unwanted pests?"

Applejack refers to Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They were invited by Fluttershy to join them.

"Hey! Cool it, Applejack!" Rainbow Dash told her. "Don't forget, me and Rarity forgave those three."

"And, so did Sunset." Rarity said. "After all, she was the initial target of Anon-a-Miss."

"Besides, this walk Flutters and Tree Hugger arranged is the best way to heal any old wounds."

The younger girls were happy that Rarity and Rainbow Dash are giving them a chance. Applejack flashes back to what Miss Harshwhinny told her.

Flashback

"Apple Bloom should always be known for her act as Anon-a-Miss!" Miss Harshwhinny told Applejack. "So are her friends. Make sure they are never trusted!

End of Flashback

"I'm gonna keep an eye on that despicable trio." Applejack said to herself.

Minutes later, the group came to a clearing. They are enjoying the view.

"This is so beautiful." Sweetie Belle praised.

"The view isn't the only reason we're here." Tree Hugger explained. "We are here to ask questions to the all mighty wheel."

"Wheel?" Scootaloo said with confusion. "What wheel?"

Tree Hugger got out eights slips of paper and eight pens. Then, gave them to the hikers. "Each of us will write a question we would like to have answered."

The group of eight started to write questions on their papers. Soon, Tree Hugger gathered the papers and held them to the sky.

"Great Wheel of Enormous Proportions!" Tree Hugger called out. "The questions are ready for you."

The eight pieces of paper flew out of Tree Hugger's hands and went into the sky. Rarity got concerned. "Did your friend say 'Wheel of Enormous Proportions', Fluttershy?"

"That she did, Rarity." Fluttershy replied.

The group was magically transported to a platform where they look at a large circular object with a pleasant looking face in the middle.

"Greeting, young meeples." The face said proudly. "Only one of you will be given the answer to what you seek. The best way to determine this is to have you travelers engage in trivia. Head down those stairs to the next platform so we can get this party started."

Lead by Fluttershy, the group headed down the stairs and went to the next platform. The wheel began to speak to them. "I'm giving each of you two slices to put on me. You can earn more slices by answering trivia questions."

After everybody got their slices, the wheel spoke again. "I have the urge to give you Question 1. Which of these are real yoga poses?"

They saw twelve possible answers. Downward Facing Dog, Viking, panther, Gate, Tree, Sand Dune, Child, Garland, Gong, Chair, Lion, Desk. The group chose what they believe are the right answers. After thirty seconds, they heard from the Wheel. "Were these what you're looking for?"

The answers lit up. All except Sand Dune, Viking, Desk, Gong, and Panther." Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy got the most right answers. And, are given one extra slice.

"Dang it!" Grumbled Apple Bloom.

"Let's move on to Question 2." Said the Wheel. "This one is a numerical question. What is the total number of games in all ten Jackbox Party Packs?"

Each player gave it their best guess. Some said 49, some said 30 (probably doesn't play that much). Apple Bloom answered 50.

"Here's the answer you were thinking of." The wheel said as he presented the number '50'.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Rainbow Dash were each given a slice. But, Apple Bloom was given an extra slice because she answered exactly right. This got Applejack shocked. "She's pretty good."

"Time for the third and final question," The Wheel announced. "And, this is for a Power Slice. Keeping with the Jackbox theme, what are the games in the Jackbox party pack 7?"

The crew were thinking of this question. They all made their guesses.

"Here are the answers." The Wheel told them.

The spirit displayed five titles. Quiplash 3, The Devils and the Details, Champ'd Up, Talking Points, and Blather Round. Everybody was surprised that Applejack got her answers correct. She was given the Power Slice.

"What?" Applejack said. "Just because I live on a farm, doesn't mean I don't enjoy stuff online."

"Come on up, my meeples." The wheel said.

The right volunteers went up the stairs, then they were graced by the wheel's presence.

"Now that we have arrived," Rarity wondered, "what next?"

"Now, you put all of those slices on my face." The wheel explained. "Then, we get to the main fun."

Everybody placed their slices on the Wheel. Applejack placed the Power Slice on the top of the wheel. Soon, Fluttershy was brought to a platform next to the wheel.

"You're first up." The wheel said. "Spin me. Where ever I land, somebody will get points."

Fluttershy grabbed the wheel, and gave it a spin. It slowed down, and stopped at a spot occupied by the Apple Sisters. The Wheel was pleased. "It's fun to share points."

Apple Bloom was shocked. So was Applejack. The game went on until Scootaloo gave the wheel a spin. It landed on the Power Slice.

"Power Sli-i-i-ice!" Shouted the wheel.

Applejack was then brought to the platform.

"Time to spin it up." The wheel said. "If you land on somebody's slice, you'll take the amount of points I have from their score."

Seeing that the Wheel is displaying 2150, she spins the wheel. It stops on a spot that has Apple Bloom's slice. This brought her down as Applejack obtains her points. Suddenly, she started to glow.

"Oooo. It's happening." The Wheel announced. It then switched to a new plate. Four of those spaces has her name on it. "This is the Winner Wheel. If you land on a space with your name on it, you win. If it lands on a skull, the game goes on."

Applejack gave the wheel a good spin. Everybody watched, including Apple Bloom, who was tearing up. The wheel stopped at a space with Applejack's name on it. Everybody was happy for her. But, Apple Bloom was very upset.

"And now, miss Applejack." The Wheel said. "It's time for the answer to your question."

The question was displayed. 'Will our family have a good harvest this year?'. Apple Bloom was expecting it to be a question about the Anon-a-Miss incident. Applejack gave the wheel one last spin to reveal the answer. The wheel slowed down. And, stopped to reveal the answer, 'Work hard, and it will be plentiful '. The wheel then gave one last statement. "I, the Wheel, have spoken."

As everybody left the mountain, Apple Bloom looked at her sister. She thought that Applejack took her points because she still don't trust her. The younger apple ran off crying so badly. This left Applejack surprised.

"What's wrong with her?" Applejack asked. "It was just a game."

"I think Apple Bloom thought you wanted to hurt her mentally again." Dash figured.

"Rainbow Dash is right." Scootaloo added. "You WERE very angry when you sent her to this village."

"She probably thinks you're STILL angry at her." Sweetie Belle told her.

Fluttershy, Rarity, and Tree Hugger nodded, meaning they agree. This left Applejack shocked, and feeling nervous. "Oh no."
