Author's Note

Sorry for taking so long on releasing the next part of this story, but I really hope you like it.

Don't really have much to say. I got back from a crazy awesome convention down here in New Jersey. Lemme just start out by saying.

Best. Time. Ever.

Cool artists, cool prints( which I bought plenty of), cool people, but most importantly.

BAD. ASS. MUSIC.

That's right the rave they had there on Saturday night was incredible. I didn't get back to my hotel room until like 4 o'clock in the morning. It was an awesome time and I'm looking forward to going there next time.

Alright enough about me and the convention. You people probably want to just read this so I'll get out of your way.

~Cobolt Soundwave, out.

I Thought This Was Just a Party?

Spike was just about finished with helping set up the library so that it looked ready for a party when Twilight and the other girls came out of the kitchen, still blushing slightly, but their wings were now down.

"Do you girls still need help?"

" 'Naw, we're all done sugarcube."

"Oh okay then, I'm just going to sit down then." Said the blushing librarian as she walked over to the couch where the her two other friends who got caught in Spike's little tease were sitting.

Spike and Rarity were just putting the last table cloth on when Twilight sat down. Spike had to have one last comment though.

"It's purple."

Rarity looked at him funny for mentioning something so obvious. "Yes, and?"

Spike put on a sly smile. "It's also one of two things that's going to coming off a table tonight."

Rarity almost tore the tablecloth in half upon hearing his comment.

"U-Uuuuuhhhhmmmm, T-Twilight, dear, can I see you...in the kitchen?" When she heard no response she looked over at the couch, and her eyes went wide at what she saw. Twilight was clenching her hands hard on her knees and her wings were fully extended again. Twilight's face was crimson in color and her legs were starting to cross.

"Twilight, dear." Rarity called out a bit louder.

"Huh, oh sorry, I was just, uhhhh, lost in thought for a second. Sure I'll come with you." Twilight stood up and, with a little effort she closed her wings followed her.

Everypony else had a faint blush on their muzzles and were looking elsewhere.

"Oh come on girls, get your heads out of the gutter," Spike said with a small smirk on his face, he knew what he meant, but he wanted them to think they were the dirty ones. "I mean if she gets drunks then she'll most likely dance on the table." Spike finished with a chuckle while the rest of the mares had their blushes return slightly.

"Okay that should be it then. Let's get set up for this shin-ding shall we?"

"It's shin-dig not shin-ding sugarcube."

"Same difference." Retorted Spike as he started pulling game systems out of the cabinets, while at the same time twilight walked back out of the kitchen with Rarity looking better then when she entered.

"Hey Twilight, you think you can poof up our computers for tonight's gaming sess.?"

"Huh? Oh that's right I stashed our stuff with a little spell I made. Just give me a moment."

Twilight's horn lit up and in a moment there was a flash and about seven computers, several of the best and even two personalized computers appeared on the floor in front of them.

Twilight was about to say something but then stopped upon looking at Spike who was smirking. She was about to ask him what he was smirking at, but then remembered why.

"I forgot the table again...didn't I?"

In a impersonation that would leave even Big Mac himself impressed, Spike said. "Eeyup."

Without missing a beat, Twilight lit up her horn once more and with one more flash and 'poof' the table that they used on occasion was in the center of the room with all the computers around the area of the table with seven chairs for each of them.

"Sweet!" Shouted a certain rainbow maned mare. "You computer's look so awesome! Where did you get them!?" She practically shouted out.

Twilight jumped up to the bat and answered her. "Well I was up in Canterlot one day, talked with Luna, told her I played video games, she didn't believe me, I showed her...and beat her, she gave me and Spike personal computers, that she built for us in one hour mind you, then when we got back we found six more computers with a note from Celestia. Does that answer your question?"

Rainbow Dash and the other girls glanced at each other before all saying. "What?"

Spike just chuckled as he walked up to, and, put an arm around Twilight. "Well, okay lemme' summarize it for you girls...she kicked Luna's ass in video games and she gave her computers, and when we got back Celestia sent us computers...oh yeah she also plays video games too...Something souls or whatever, I don't know, but that game is mad annoying but then again for some reason she can't stop playing no matter how many time she dies or gets infuriated. It's funny watching that happen too." He finished with a mirthful chuckle.

"Ummm, well, okay then, not gonna argue with free shit," Rainbow said, sitting down in one of the chairs and booting up the computer. "well come on then girls get'chur butts into a chair that isn't being used and start these bad boys up!"

At Rainbow's exclamation the others quickly sat down and booted up and started up Relix, because for some reason some games didn't think that Vapor was good enough to have them in it.

Twilight, Spike and the rest of the girls quickly started talking about which game they should play first.

"How 'bout Dead Space?"

"What!? That dreadful horror game? No, No way am I going to play that horrid game!"

"What are you chicken?" That comment got the proper mare's attention.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Chick...en." Rainbow said with a smug look.

Rarity, fairly urked, took the bait. "I'll have you know I am not a cowered, fine I will play this game."

Rarity quickly realized that had she not decided to play then Fluttershy would have played it alone and thus make her look bad.

"Fluttershy? You're playing this as well?"

Fluttershy looked at Rarity who was sitting next to her and smiled sweetly. "Oh, of course, I haven't played this one yet, I really want to know how they play this one out."

Rarity was just stunned, her friend, the one that screamed at a twig landing on her head and thought it was somepony touching her, played the last two scariest, in her opinion, games to come out for PC, and she hadn't.

"Well we can find out together." "Or maybe I'm going to have a lot of sleepless nights from this game." Rarity thought to herself.

The game loaded up on everypony's screen and just as she expected, the intro to the game was very creepy.

"Alright, I have am idea," Spike said out loud. "you girls will each pick a partner and play through the co-op version of the campaign and I, the very handsome drake that I am, will time all of you and keep track of where you are in the game and see who gets to the middle of the game the fastest."

"That...actually sounds kinda fun." Said Twilight, which got the other girls to nod their heads and give their own words of agreement.

"All right then girls, as soon as you get your partners and join your lobby's, go ahead and start your games on the count of three and I'll start timing from the first cut-scene." Spike said. Of course, he wasn't just going to sit there and do nothing, he was going to play Minecraft. He loved that game, plus he could just play in creative and build stuff the whole time they played.

"Alright, I think we're all ready now." Said an excited Twilight.

"Well okay then. Let's begin."

Spike gave the countdown, the game began and he clicked the timer he had on hand.

Thus began the most intense three-way race for the half-way point in a game.
