Idea #1

Austin and Jared sat on the couch, both lounging around lazily. Austin was looking on his laptop that was supported by his lap, and Jared had his feet propped up on the glass living room table and stared up at the ceiling.

“Ugh!,” Austin groaned, throwing his hands up in the air. “I can’t think of anything to write about a new MLP fan fic!,” He said.

“Eh, I’m spent too, bro.,” Jared lazily added in.

Austin closed his laptop and sat it on the glass table. “I hope something comes to m soon, I feel like watching some TV.,” He said, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV.

Once the TV was turned on, Austin started flipping through channels, from Nickelodeon to Cartoon Network and beyond. Jared rose from his lazy position and stared at the screen.

“Hey, dude, go back a few channels, will you?,” He asked.

Austin shrugged and flipped back a few channels.

Jared’s face gave a huge smirk. “I got it!,” He said, pointing to the television screen that had Teen Titans playing.

“What, you FINALLY realized Robin’s cape is awesome or what?,” Austin joked.

Jared threw one of the couch pillows at Austin’s face. “No, I meant an idea for a fan fiction!,” He corrected.

“Seriously? Come on tell me, man!,” Austin said eagerly grabbing a notebook and a pen that was on the table.

Jared gave some times for Austin to get ready. “Alright, alright, take this down.,” He started. “Imagine My Little Pony…,”

“Of course, that’s what I always think of!,” Austin commented.

“But instead..,” Jared said.

“Yes..?,” Austin said.

“It was..,” Jared said.

“Yes..?,” Austin said in excitement.

“AN ANIME!,” Jared said with a small fist pump.

Austin steadily lowered his pen and notepad down and his smile slowly disappeared. “What..?,” He said in a confused voice.

Jared smiled. “Yea, an anime!,” He repeated.

Austin stared at Jared intensely then slowly shook his head. “Why…would you even …suggest that?,” He asked in a disappointing manner.

Jared shrugged. “Hey, it just came to me!,” He stated.

Austin just shook his head and stood up. “How?,” He asked.

Jared scratched his head. “Eh, you pick up things when you watch television, okay?,” He responded.

Austin crossed his arms. “Nah, we can’t do it.,”

Jared raised a brow. “How come!?,” He asked curiously.

“Because an anime of My Little Pony, ISN’T My Little Pony at all!,” Austin exclaimed.

“Aw come on!,” Jared said, raising from the couch. “I mean…haven’t you ever wondered how the ponies would look and act like as an anime character------ they have the traits!,” He stated. “Twilight’s the naive librarian, Pinkie’s the one you wanna have fun and do ecchi things with, and Rarity, hohoho~,”

Austin turned off the television and gave a deadpanned look at his friend. “What the hell are you even thinking?,” He asked.

“Only thinking what could make a killer story!,” Jared said with his fist in the air.

Austin walked towards the front door and sighed. “Look, how about we go ask one of our friends to see if it’s a good idea, if not then it’s a lost cause, okay?,” He said shaking his car keys.

Jared pouted and jumped off the couch, ran towards the door and opened. “You’re on Austin, I’m telling you it’s a good idea!,” He said, rushing to the parked car outside.

Austin shook his head. “Whatever you say…,” He said walking to his car.

*****

Austin and Jared drove to their friend’s, Jennifer house to vote whether an MLP fan fiction of My Little Pony in the form of an anime should be made or not. They were inside discussing as Jennifer had just finished taking a shower.

Austin’s cheeks were a little red, but he tried adjusting to the situation since Jennifer only had a towel wrapped around from her chest to her groin.

“Maybe…this was a bad time…,” Austin said, awkwardly.

“Hehe, you act like you’ve never seen a half-naked girl before!,” Jennifer sassed, giggling.

“All the time, sister~,” Jared said mockingly.

Jared and Jennifer laughed and Austin just sat there staring at the two bluntly.

“God, I’m surrounded by idiots…,” Austin said, face palming.

Jennifer walked over and patted him on the head. “Oh don’t be like that Austin, I was just kidding!,” She said, spatting her tongue playfully.

“Eh, but he still haven’t seen any bare chicks lately, hahaha!,” Jared said laughing. Austin punched his arm. “Ow, okay okay, I’ll stop…sheesh.,” Jared said, rubbing his arm.

“So, what do you two need to talk to me about, anyways?,” Jennifer asked.

“First, don’t you think you could… I dunno, PUT ON SOME CLOTHES FIRST!?,” Austin said.

Jennifer shrugged. “Aw, but I feel comfortable in this towel, the air’s quite refreshing~,” She said, tugging the towel, slightly showing her chest.

"I can live with that!," Jared said with a thumbs up.

"Austin shook his perverted thoughts and asked his major question. "Do you think I should write an MLP fan fiction where My Little Pony as and anime?,"

Jennifer stared at Austin then she puffed up her cheeks. "Wow, that's an odd question... I guess I'd say...,"

Austin and Jared waited for her answer.

"Sure, I can see that happening!," She said with a smile.

Austin's mouth opened in awe, and Jared shouted "Woohoo!,"

"I mean, yea they won't be ponies, but it'd give others a different perspective on how they view their favorite ponies!," She explained.

Austin held his head down and planted his hands over his head stationed on his lap. "I know but...,"

"Dude, I told you it was a good idea!," Jared said.

Jennifer put her arm around Austin. " I know you think it's bad, but maybe doing something unique like that could make you love the show even more.," She said. "Plus, I'd totally wanna see how Rarity would act in an anime version of My Little Pony!,"

Austin smiled a little then got up and sighed. "Eh, well at least your answer had a reasonable explanation...unlike SOME people!," Austin said shifting his eyes to the side to see Jared.

Jared smirked and waved a little.

"Well, thanks for your opinion, Jennifer, I'll think about this fan fic.," Austin said, rising from the couch.

Jennifer rose from the couch as well, hugging Austin. "I'm sure you'll make the right choice!," She said walking towards an open door to a room.

"I hope so, uh...what are you going to go do?," AUstin asked.

Jennifer stopped walking and turned around. "Oh, just going to go get changed."

Austin and Jared's eyes widened.

"B-But the door's open...," Austin stated

"I know, you could watch if you want~," Jennifer smirked and playfully plucked the lower part of the towel planning to reveal more of her skin.

"We'll watch!," Jared cheered.

"We'll leave!," Austin said, grabbing Jared's shirt and pulling him out of the front door.

"Wait, wait, nooooooo!," Jared dramatically holding out his hand as the door to Jennifer's house was shut by Austin.

Jennifer giggled. "Those two are so cute to tease!," She said. shutting the room door.

*****

Austin and Jared were driving in their neighborhood, planning to still make the fan fiction or not. Jared was riding in the passenger seat with his arms crossed and huffing angrily.

Austin started focusing on Jared's temper as he was driving. "Dude, what's with you?," He asked.

"Uh, duh, we just missed our chance to see a girl get naked for us, of  course I'm angry!," Jared replied. "

Wow, you're like poor horny puppy...," Austin, glancing at the road.

"Hey, I'm not the one who's horny here, I just desperately needed some eye candy, alright!?," Jared responded.

Austin stared off to the side once he got to a red light. "Says the guy with pictures of Tara strong in his wallet...," He said smirking.

"STOP TALKING!," Jared yelled.

Austin laughed.

"Aside from my sexual urges, seems like I've won the bet, so you have to create "My Little Pony The Anime"!," Jared said, recovering with a sinister laugh.

Austin sighed and rested on his seat with his foot planted on the brake pedal. "Eh, I'm not doen yet, how about we ask more people?," He suggested.

Jared groaned and slouched in his seat. "Are you kidding me!? Ugh, fine we'll ask more, but only to see you suffer total defeat!," He said with his fist clenched and raised in the air.

"Pfft.," Austin pouted, then stepping on the gas pedal as the traffic light turned green. "Hey, how about we ask Todd?," Austin asked.

Jared squinted his eyes and stared at Austin. "Bleh, why do we have to ask him?," He asked, disgusted.

"Do you want to see me "suffer" or not?," Austin asked.

"I  Jared stopped, shook his fist then reach down into his right pockets and pulled out his iphone. "I'll call him now!," Jared said grumbling.

"Austin smiled and looked ahead of the road. Jared's phone continued to try and contact Todd's phone, a beep was then heard.

"Hello, who is this?," asked Todd.

"It is I, the GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie who has contacted you from the distant world of Equestria!," Jared replied in a wicked voice. "I have called you, puny human, to   ,"

"This is Jared isn't it...," said Todd.

Jared hit his head on the glove compartment and hissed. "Damn it, how'd you know it was me!?," He asked.

"C'mon, we all know you suck at pony impressions!," Todd stated.

"Really, you do suck dude.," Austin commented.

"Gah, whatever!," Jared said swishing his head angrily.

"I'm kinda doing some football practice  so what do you need?," Todd asked.

"We just need you to answer to a question, Todd.," Austin said.

"Is that Austin, heeeeey dude, how goes the fan fictions!?," Todd asked enthusiastically.

"How come he's all good-goody to you?," Jared asked whispering.

Austin shrugged at the wheel. "He's one of my many fans who reads my fan fictions.," He stated.

"Ooooooh, makes sense, for a second there I thought he was gay for you!," He said, snickering.

Austin grumbled and quickly punched him on the arm.

"Ow, sheesh, okay... I was only joking.," Jared pouted.

"So yea, the fan fiction...I can't decide on that, me and Jared's having an argument whether or not we should make it.," Austin explained.

"What's it about?," Todd asked.

"It's where My Little Pony's an anime, genius right!?," Jared answered.

There was a long silence on Jared's phone.

"Uh...Todd, you there bro?," Austin asked.

Jared started laughing. "It was so cool of an idea that it left him SPEECHLESS!," He cheered.

"...that's...the dumbest idea ever.," Todd slowly said.

"WHAT!?," Jared reacted.

"Yea it's dumb I mean if My Little Pony was an anime, then would it REALLY be My little Pony!? That's like taking Equestrian Girls and making it into an  everyday anime and manga routine!," Todd explained.

"But it has the ponies with the traits!," Jared protested.

"Yea right, some ding-head's probably thinking Pinkie's the pony you'd wanna have sex with all day long and Rarity would be a total nymph!," Todd replied.

"...," Jared gave a blunt expressing turning his head towards the window.

"Ha.," Austin said mockingly.

"Shut up!," Jared said pouting, clenching his iphone in aggression.

"You know what ever brony and pegasister will think once they gebin reading? It's gonna be "Where are the hooves?" or "Why aren't there any ponies?"   the only way you'd pass by is if you made them anthro!," Todd explained.

Austin kept on hand on the wheel and the other under his chin, thinking. "Hmm, an anthro fan fic, good idea!," He said.

Jared just held his phone and grumbled.

"Yea so I think you shouldn't make an anime fan fiction of My Little Pony, besides I bet Jated created that stupid idea in the first place.,"

What makes you say that!?," Jared responded.

"I dunno, sounds like something you probably thought up on the spot by watching anime on TV or somewhere.," Todd replied.

"...," Jared gave another blunt look and hit his head repeated on the glove compartment.

"Ha.," Austin repeated.

"Oh screw you!," Jared shouted.

"I'll be waiting for your next release dude, so keep at it, Austin!," Todd said, then hung up.

Jared groaned and Austin had a smile on his face as he drove.

"Well then....," Austin said. "I guess that makes us 2 to 2, no?," He asked.

Jared rolled down his window and threw his phone out. "This is why I freaking hate that jockey!," He said crossing his arms.

Austin glanced to the side and continued driving as Jared was in a slump, but then realized what he did.

"Wait...w-what the hell, did I... JUST THROW OUT MY PHONE! OH SHIT!," He said putting his head out the window, looking back and whining.

"Look who's suffering now.," Austin said laughing a little as he u-turned the car to let Jared retrieve his phone.

*****

Austin and Jared were in town and decided to go to their usual Walmart location to meet another one f their friends. Jared was still whining over his tattered and scratched up phone and Austin parked in a clear parking space.

"Fine, fine, stop crying over your phone   we'll get it fixed!," Austin said.

"...okay.," Jared said, wiping the tears from his eyes.

The two got out of AUstin's car and headed inside the super store, it was conveniently empty a little since it was really early in the morning.

"You're lucky there aren't many people around in the morning.," Austin said. "Morty can fix it easily.,"

Jared followed Austin inside towards the technology and games department, located right near the toy aisle.

"GUYS!," screamed a voice from behind them.

Austin and Jared jumped.

"Ah!," Jared shouted, throwing his broken phone at the stranger behind them.

The person was hit in the head and started to rub his head. "Ow, well that wasn't a warm welcome...," He said.

"Well I did what any normal person would do when a fat guy surprises them randomly!," Jared said, shrugging.

"I'M NOT FAT!," Morty protested. "...I'm big boned...," He mumbled to himself.

"What was that, Mort?," Austin asked raising a brow.

"Uh, NOTHING   Say, guys check out what just came out a few days ago!," Morty said. "Boop.," He said, pulling up an MLP figurine box.

Austin's eyes widened. "T-T-That limited edition Vinyl Scratch dub-step figurine!!?," He said with a huge grin.

"Whatever, I already got two of them.," Jared crossed his arms, smirking.

"How about THIS one?," Morty said, pulling out another MLP figurine box.

Jared's mouth was open. "That Pinkie Pie limited edition epic party time figurine!," He said rushing over and grabbing the box. "Ho ho ho, this is definitely going home with me!," He said.

Morty and and Austin laughed.

"But the one I loved most was this one!," Morty said pulling out a Derpy figurine box. "This little Derpy of mines is so ADORABLE!," He said rubbing his cheek on the sides of the box.

Austin and Jared stared at Morty oddly, Jared flinched a little and then went to pick up his broken phone.

"Well...he's a true brony no doubt there.," Austin said.

Jared nodded.

Morty finally stopped adoring the Derpy figurines and came back to reality. "So what could I do for you. bros?," He asked walking to his shelf in the technology department.

"Well for starters...," Jared said, holding up his broken phone.

"Oh yea, sure I've got you covered!," Morty said, grabbing Jared's phone and started repairing it right away.

As Morty was halfway finishing up Jared's iphone, Austin walked over to him.

"Morty, we have a question to ask you.," Austin said.

Jared walked to the other side of Morty. "Yea, it's about the next fan fiction this "genius" thinks he shouldn't make.," He said.

Austin glared at Jared. "...why'd you stress genius like that..?," He asked curiously.

Jared shrugged, laughing a little. "So yea it's about My Little Pony...,"

"Well, then he should definitely write it!," Morty responded.

"But as an anime.," Austin finished.

Morty instantly stopped  repairing Jared's phone and stared at the both of them with a content look.

"Will it have Derpy in it?," He asked seriously.

Jared looked to the other side of Morty at Austin, then back at Morty. "Y-Yea, of course Derpy's in it man!," Jared said grinning and patting him on the back.

Morty looked at Jared and smiled. "THEN A MY LITTLE PONY ANIME IT IS!," He yelled as his voice echoed through the aisles of the store and people started looking at the trio.

Austin hid his face from shame and Jared and Morty started waving their hands in the air singing the My Little Pony theme song.

Austin just ran to the back of the technology department and hid himself behind the shelves. "As I said before....I'm surrounded by idiots.," He said, smiling a bit.

A few hours later, Austin and Jared walked out of Walmart, Jared was texting to check if his phone was back in working order.

"I can't believe you guys actually sang out louad to the whole store.," Austin said putting his hands in his pockets.

Jared stored his phone in his pocket and stretched. "Hey, we can't help it if we're bronies, why not share the cheerfulness dude!," He stated.

Austin stared off to the side. "I suppose.," He replied.

Jared patted Austin on the back. "Eh, don't let the shyness get to ya, all that matters is that it's 3 to 2 my friend!," He said laughing.

Austin gave a small angry growl. "...I guess it can't be helped, fine I'll   ," The moment he reached for the handle of his car, he realized something. "Hold on, I'm not down yet!," He said, entering in his car.

Jared stood at the passenger door and sighed heavily. "He seriously won't give up...," He said, entering the vehicle as well.

*****

Austin and Jared were back in their neighborhood, planning to drive Austin's untold destination.

So who are we going to go ask now?," Jared asked.

Austin just had his focus glued to the road.

Jared huffed. "Fine, wherever we're going isn't gonna help you win this!," He pestered. "Go me, go me, go-go-go me ~♪," He said mockingly dancing in his seat.

Austin punched Jared's arm.

"Ow! Stop doing that!," Jared said.

Austin drove up to a driveway to a blue and white painted house. Jared looked at the house thoroughly.

"Oh...," He said. "Oh?," He said raising up in his seat. "Oooooooh!," He said grinning.

Austin stared at Jared with an annoyed expression. "So we're going to go see Carrie are we?," Jared asked.

Austin groaned. "Yes, yes we're going to go see my girlfriend...," He grumbled. "Is that a problem?,"

Jared stared at Austin with a deadpanned look. "Dude... she's your girlfriend, She should've been like your first to get your vote!," Jared started laughing in his seat.

Austin shifted his eyes out of the window.

"...she just came to mind, okay!?," He protested. "Sheesh...,"

Jared laughed and Austin parked on the side of the street and the both of them got out of the car.

"Wow, since she's your girlfriend, she's bound to agree you shouldn't make it and it'll be a never ending disagreement and stuff!," Jared stated.

Austin gave a worried expression, then turned it into a serious one. "Hey, anything to get me out of this ridiculous situation!," He responded, walking faster towards the door of his girlfriend's house.

Austin knocked and Jared stood beside him with his arms angrily crossed.

The door opened and the two guys saw Carrie dressed in a floral tank top and dark blue shorts.

"Oh hiya Austin, I wasn't expecting you!," She said, hugging him. "Good morning to you as well Jared!,"

Jared smiled and gave a small wave.

Carrie invited them inside and went into into the kitchen to warm up some apple cider she was just preparing before the two arrived. Austin sate on a couch in the living room, staring at his girlfriend in her kitchen. Jared smirked and sat down in a chair.

"Checking her out?," Jared asked.

Austin flinched and looked at Jared. "What are you talking abo   ,"

"Austin, it's cool! I mean she is your girlfriend!," Jared said laughing.

Austin rested his head on the end of the couch and sighed, still staring at Carrie. "We've been together for only 2 months...,"

Carrie walked back into the living room carrying a tray with 3 glass cups filled with apple cider. Austin and Jared each grabbed their cups and instantly started drinking it. Jared drunk all of his cider in less than a few seconds. "Aaaaaah, deliciouso~," He said.

Carrie laughed then she sat near Austin. "Does it taste okay Austin?," she asked.

Austin finished sipping his cider and stared at her.

"I-Is it not good..?," Carrie asked with an ashamed look.

Austin leaned over a bit and kissed Carrie on the cheek. "Don't worry, it's perfect.," He said with a smile.

"Ha ha, I'm happy to hear that!," Carrie said.

Jared looked at the two lovers then pouted. "Alright, alright, no time to get all gaga and goo-goo while I'm right here!," He growled.

Carrie and Austin laughed at Jared and gave each other a little distance.

"So, what brings you here this morning?," Carrie asked.

Jared held up his arms. "It's about a fan fiction madame~," He said in a British-like accent.

Carrie stared at Jared weird, then turned towards Austin.

"We're having a small argument about a certain fan fiction I'm planning to write.," Austin stated.

"Ah.," Carrie said. "What's it about?," She asked.

"Well, it's a My Little Pony   ,"

"ANIME!," Jared shouted.

Austin gave a deadpanned look at Jared. "It's a My Little Pony Anime and I really think I shouldn't   ,"

Carrie clasped her hands together. "That's such a great idea!," She said, smiling.

Austin paused for a while and Jared sat arrogantly in his chair.

"An anime of My Little Pony is a genius idea, and besides... you know I love anime!~," She said smiling with glee.

Austin blinked his eyes once and started to feel uneasy. "I...totally forgot about that...," He said in a really small voice to himself.

Jared leaned from his seat a bit and whispered to Austin as Carrie was too focused on the idea of the fan fiction to notice. "Wow...your girlfriend just made you fail...BAD!," He whispered, snickering.

Austin's left eye twitched and then he sighed.

Carrie looked at Austin with worry. "Are you okay, Austin?," She asked. "Oh no, f-forgive my rudeness! You were about to say something, right?," She said.

Jared faked a cough. "You were at you think you shouldn't...," He said smiling.

Austin nodded. "I think I shouldn't  ,"

Carrie had a very excited facial expression as she glared Austin in his eyes, then he went silent for a moment.

"Shouldn't what?," Carrie asked.

"Shouldn't waste all this time talking about it and work on  it immediately!," He said with a fist to the air.

"I'll be rooting for you all the way!," Carrie cheered with her fist in the the air as well.

Jared looked at the couple, still smiling. "How wonderful~," He said clenching his hands together and batting his eyes mockingly.

Austin grumbled a little.

*****

Austin and Jared left from Carrie's house and were on the way to their home, with Austin sporting a very annoyed expression and Jared was in the passenger seat dancing.

"Go me, go me, go-go-go me~♪," Jared sang as he continued to dance in his seat.

Austin glanced over to his friend. "Seriously, is that how you feel after "forcing" your own friend to do a fan fiction he doesn't like?," He asked.

Jared kept dancing, then stopped.

"You're right...I'm sorry Austin, dunno what I was thinking.," Jared said with his head hung down.

Austin frowned. "Nah, don't worry about it, I just can't take that right no   ,"

I should be cheering for Carrie!," Jared corrected.

"Yea...wait, WHAT!?," Austin said taking his sight off the road.

"Go Carrie, go Carrie, go-go-go Carrie!~♪," Jared started singing.

Austin jerked the wheel and the car went side to side instantly, which made Jared bump his head on his window.

"GAH!, The hell, man!?," Jared said, rubbing his head.

Austin smirked. "...totally deserved it...," He mumbled.

Austin and Jared finally reached their home, one with a small head injury and the other stressed about a fan fiction.

*****

Night was present and Jared was in his room, sleeping on the floor as he had of of his legs propped up on the bed, snoring as loud as a lawnmower. Austin however, was on the living room couch in the dark on his lap top trying to create the fan fiction he hated so much. He went straight to his profile on FIMfiction.net and began to work immediately on My Little Pony The Anime, which he thought could make a series if it became popular enough.

"...hmm...," He said, continuing to think of how the series could follow. He even had ideas of possibly making an animation to match the story.

He started typing non-stop, taking small breaks from time to time so he wouldn't wear out his fingers.

"Damn it...how'd I get into this mess...," He groaned as he continued to type away all through the night.

*****

Morning came and all of Jared's and Austin's friends were over their house to commemorate Austin's successful post of his new fan fiction.

"Woohoo, he totally made it and posted the fan fiction! This deserves a drink!," Jared cheered, drinking down some fruit punch

"You sound like a drunk, Jared!," Jennifer said laughing. "But it's so cool that he actually typed up the fan fiction, how I get the chance to read it!," She said, flailing her hands in the air as she jumped in joy.

"Well I didn't know he'd go through with it, but... eh... I guess I'll check it out.," Todd insisted, sighing and then smiling.

"Ooh, I'm so excited! A My Little Pony Anime fiction, I bet it's gotten really popular on the site already!," Carrie stated.

"And it has Derpy in it too, woohoo!," Morty said, stomping about with his Derpy figurine in his hand.

Everyone continued to talk about how the fan fiction would come out and enjoyed their refreshments. Austin, laid with his head down on his laptop, was on the couch grumbling awfully loud.

Jared pulled himself away from the others and went to him. "Whoa, whoa, what's with the grumpy grumbling mister grump?," He asked in a haste.

Austin rose his head to where his eyes could only be seem as the rest of his face was buried in his arms, then groaned.

Jared laughed and patted his disoriented friend on the back. "I'll take that as a "I'm doing fine"!," he declared and went to sit and finish the rest of his punch on a nearby chair.

Everyone rushed over to Austin all at once to start urging him to pull up the story so they could all read it together.

"I don't know if you'd wanna read it...," Austin said, still sleepy.

"Huh, why not Austin?," Todd asked.

"Yes, we've been waiting to see your new story!," Carrie said, smiling close to Austin's face.

Austin shifted his eyes to the right as Carrie made eye contact, then he shook his head and sighed. "Well, if you insist.," he said.

Everyone gave each other a high five as Austin opened his laptop and pulled up FIMfiction.net and went to his "stories" tab, then he clicked on his latest story. Everyone was looking as he pulled up the new fan fiction and they all sported excited faces, until they gradually started to turn into frowns. Jared saw their faces as he was finishing up his punch and wondered what was going on.

"Hmm, what's got you all so bummed out?," Jared asked, walking over towards the group. He stared at the laptop's screen with the fan fiction stats showing, then he became silent along with everyone else.

Seconds passed and Austin sighed, smiled a bit, and looked at his 5 shocked friends.

"...t-that's not so bad...um...," Jennifer said sarcastically,

"Y-Yea, I mean...I'm sure they just voted wrong!," Carrie said laughing as enthusiastically as she could.

"That's 5,681 thumbs down and 56 thumbs up, of course that's bad!," Todd protested.

Jared stared at the screen and hung his head down in embarrassment.

"...ha.," Austin said, putting his head back down and attempting to fall asleep.
