The Pony Games

The Resulting Numbers

Previous Chapter

All the Ponyville tributes sat down at the lobby watching the television, waiting for the results. Twilight sighs as she levitates an apple to eat.

"I am sure the numbers will show soon." Filthy Rich spoke hoarsely as if to wake up from one long night of drinking. As a response, the tributes all slouched and sighed.

"All this propaganda. I wanna know how well we did!" Scootaloo announced. As if to hear her, the television showed up an announcer pony known as Photo Finish. The pony is known for her fashion sense in Equestria; so much that the ponies chose her to announce all the Pony Games.

"Hello and welcome to ze Pony Games! I am Photo Finish here to tell you the game creators have tallied up zeir votes! The highest a tribute gets, ze better chances in winning in ze games! Let us start with ze raining champions Cloudsdale!"

Each tribute was shown with their names being announced. Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, and a lot of the Wonderbolts. The ponies of Equestria dubbed the Cloudsdale tributes that because they always seem to win! According to rumors, the reason is because they train all their ponies in order for them to have a better chance in winning. All the Cloudsdale Wonderbolts got 7s to 9s.

Next they showed all the Appleloosa tributes. Applejack, Braeburn, Applebloom, and a lot more. All these ponies seemed to be related somehow. What a tough tribute section for them. All the tributes got either 4s or 5s.

The district before Ponyville was Manehatten. Like Ponyville, they had a variety of ponies, but most of them were unicorns. Some names came up as usual with their scores. Sweetie Belle, Coco Pummel, and Trixie. It was sad to see Rarity's young sister be in the tributes, but Twilight did not know that Sweetie Belle moved with Rarity's boutique to Manehatten. They got around a 5 or 6, but Trixie got a 7. This was a warning that she was good.

Last but not least was Ponyville. Pinkie Pie got a 5, Big Mac got an 8, Scootaloo got a 4, and Flash Sentry got a 6. Then they showed Twilight, and gave her a score. Twilight gasped in utter destraut. They gave her a 4! What were they thinking? Was it because she attacked one of them? Was her power off? Finally they showed Ponyville's last unicorn tribute, Trenderhoof got a 5.

Zecora shut the television off and the lobby was silent. "Well, Big Mac gave quiet a wack!"

Filthy Rich nodded, "Let's just forget the scores and just focus on the interviews!" All the tributes agreed in silence as they moved to their rooms. Twilight had to impress Equestria or she wasn't going to get a package in the games. She shouldn't have lost her temper.
