Apple Bloom watches another fun party game. And, witnesses the last night of the Monster Seeking Monster challenge.

August 15-Fakin' It / Monster Seeking Monster Last Night

Apple Bloom walks down the streets to Mrs. Krink's house. After helping Olga with the chores, she received a call to come over. Probably has another event that requires her movie equipment. But, she was greeted at the front door by Opaline Arcana.

"Hello, Apple Bloom." Opaline greeted. "It's good to see you again."

"Howdy, Miss Arcana." Apple Bloom replied.

"Please, call me Opaline. Since we're getting to know each other. Come in."

As Apple Bloom entered the house, she was greeted by Mrs. Krink. And, also by the seven youngsters from Maretime Bay.

"Good to see all of y'all again." Apple Bloom greeted.

"Hi, Apple Bloom." Sunny Starscout said. "I heard that Pipp and Zipp joined you for Drawful Animate."

Soon, Opaline got everybody's attention. "Okay, gang. It's game time."

The kids got excited as Sprout watched from the side as Apple Bloom joined him.

"Sunny, Izzy, Hitch, Pipp, Zipp, and Misty," Opaline said, "it's time for a game of Fakin' It."

"Fakin' It?" Apple Bloom said with confusion.

"You heard right." Sprout answered. "Our friends will get a prompt about doing an action. But, one won't get it. That player is the Faker. The others have to find the Faker. But, the Faker will do what he or she can to blend in, and not be caught."

Opaline gave out some information. "First challenge: Hands of Truth. Each of you will receive an action to do. When you hear the GO signal, go for it. Remember, one of you won't receive a prompt. That is the Faker. So, try to blend in."

Everybody saw their prompt. When they heard the GO signal, some raised their hands, some didn't. Opaline revealed the task. "The secret task is, Raise your hand if you farted in public without knowing it."

The six teens voted who they think is the Faker. After the votes were tabulated, the Faker was still at large.

"Don't worry." Opaline assured. "You guys have two more chances to catch the Faker. Get ready for the next task."

After receiving their next task, four of the six raised their hands. Apple Bloom and Sprout watched with interest.

"The task is, Raise your hand if you threw up after eating too much." Opaline said.

After the votes were casted, Zipp Storm was revealed as the Faker. She then confessed. "I not usually sick when I eat a lot. And, I sometimes feel embarrassed after farting."

Everybody had a good laugh. The day goes on, and so does the game. Sunny was caught during the challenge: Face Value. "I don't have nightmares that often."

"I know." Pipp said. "You sleep like a baby when we have a sleepover."

During Gotta Point, three pointed at Hitch when everybody asked 'Point to the person who was covered with mud'. Hitch told everyone that he fell on the ground during a rainstorm. Pip was caught because she was late to point. She apparently didn't get the prompt.

Later, Opaline got everybody's attention. "This has been one good game. The winner with the most points is......Misty."

The crowd clapped for Misty. She was tearing up with joy. "That last challenge, Text You Up, helped me pull ahead."

Apple Bloom clapped for Misty. She has one thought though. I can't wait to see how Trixie does in her last night on the dating scene.

Later that night, Apple Bloom makes her way to the haunted house. She was greeted by the bodyguard. "Evening, Miss Bloom. Ready to witness night six?"

"To quote my big brother," Apple Bloom replied, "eeyup!"

The farm girl went through the halls, and found herself in the main room.

"It's our last night together." Felicia announced. "Make it count. And, each successful date is worth two hearts because this is a special night." She looks outside and sees the moon bright in the night sky. "And, that full moon should make this extra special.".

The night goes on. Trixie talks with a man with straight brown hair. "This being the last night, how about a stroll in the park?"

"Sounds like a plan." The man replied.

Some of the people got dates. Unfortunately, the Body Swapper and Mother didn't. Felicia then talked to the folks. "You all did great. Now, it's time for the after party. That means everyone reveals their monster powers."

"I hope none of them are a zombie." Apple Bloom said nervously.

The woman with short curly hair was first. She started to shrink and became wooden. She soon became like a ventriloquist dummy as she sang her identity. "🎶 VENTRILOQUIST PUPPET!🎶"

This confused Apple Bloom. Felicia came to tell the farm kid something. "Sad people love puppets. The Ventriloquist Puppet gets a bonus heart for dating someone who was rejected the night before."

The globe creature was next. It became a humanoid creature in bandages. "🎶MUMMY!🎶"

"Everybody the mummy dates becomes cursed." Felicia explained. "He steals a half a heart for everyone he dated. But, if everyone gets cursed, the curse is broken, and the Mummy doesn't steal anything."

Trixie then steps up. She skin becomes green and her outfit becomes black. She sang out her identity. "🎶WITCH!🎶"

"Trixie was a witch?" Apple Bloom gasped.

"Correct, AB." Trixie explained in a cackly voice. "The Witch takes a hair from everyone she dated. When the Witch is revealed, like now, each hair becomes a bonus heart."

"That's quite the ability."

The person Trixie dated earlier transformer into a trenchcoat and hat and sunglasses. But, no body. Then, a male voice sang out, "🎶 INVISIBLE PERSON!🎶"

Felicia explains about this monster. "The Invisible Person gets two bonus hearts. This man seems to be in last place. Because his score becomes invisible until the end of the game."

The eight monsters stand together. Felicia starts talking. "Let's see who ran afoul with the Mummy's curse." Egyptian symbols appeared over seven of the players. "Everybody. Sorry, Mummy. Your curse is broken."

The Mummy got upset. Felicia continues. "Who here became werewolves?" Four of them had wolf symbols above them. "Nothing special. I just like werewolves."

Everybody laughed as Felicia talks to them. "Who was the Monster Hunter hunting this whole time?" A glow surrounded the Mother. "The Mother, who he dated twice."

The Monster Hunter and Mother blushed. Felicia then spoke out. "How does this affect the final score?"

A glowing star came in. And, landed on Trixie. Felicia clapped for this moment. "Miss Trixie Lulamoon wins with 13 hearts!"

Everybody clapped for Trixie, including Apple Bloom. Minutes later, the players were turned back to their human forms, and left the mansion.

"I'll bet you'll be celebrating when you get home." Apple Bloom said happily.

"You bet I will." Trixie replied. "Nighty night, Apple Bloom."

The two girls split up. Trixie returns to Canterlot while Apple Bloom goes back to her home for the summer. The farm girl wonders one thing. "I wonder what's next."
