The Most Serious Pony In All Of Equestria

After the first two rounds of the competition, Celestia announced that there would be a three day "intermission" until the third round. The princess had wanted to let anticipation for the event build up more than it already had. Also, she wanted to visit the pony and the dragon who gave her the idea in the first place. Celestia was currently waiting in her throne room for Twilight and Spike to arrive, for she had sent them a letter to meet them in Canterlot. Soon enough, she heard two voices coming down the hall, but was surprised when the voices seemed to be arguing.

"So, you got the first two right. That doesn't prove anything!"

"Actually, it proves that I was correct one hundred percent of the time!"

"And If I get the next two right, we'll both be at fifty."

"Think about that Spike. I'm competing, remember. To get that one right, you'll have to bet against me."

"Oh yeah."

Eventually, Spike and Twilight made it down the hall and into the throne room, where Celestia had been listening to their entire conversation. "I see you two have a little competition of your own going on."

"Yes, Princess. Spike and I have been trying to pick who will win each round. So far, I've guessed correctly on both rounds, while Spike was wrong both times."

"I can still win the next two!"

"Calm down, Spike." Celestia said. "No need to worry. After these two rounds, we will still have four competitors left. There will be more rounds."

"I guess you're right. See, Twi. The princess is on my side."

"Actually, I'm just telling you the facts. If I had to pick a side, I would choose Twilight." Twilight Sparkle jumped into the air with glee when she heard her mentor speak those words. Just then, the doors to the throne room opened and Princess Luna walked in.

"I couldn't help overhear that you have a little competition going on, Tia, and that you and Twilight are ganging up on poor Spike."

"That's not what's happening!" Celestia exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter really. You and Twilight could never beat us."

"Us?"

"Yes, since you have joined forces with Twilight, I have no choice to join Spike's team." Now, it was the dragon's turn to jump into the air with glee. "Now that we have picked teams, how about we make this game a little more interesting."

"I'm listening."

"How about whichever team gets the most round guesses wrong at the end of the event has to admit to all of Equectria that the other team is better."

"Deal."

"What!?" shouted Spike and Twilight. Before they could say anything else, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were already shaking hooves, sealing the deal.

"Good luck, lulu. You'll need it."

"Don't worry about us, Tia. After all, everyone knows I'm the more serious sister." After a long period of silence, all three alicorns and the one dragon burst out laughing.
