One year before

It was a beautiful day on Ponyville, there were all kinds of ponies, Applejack was selling goods in her stall, Pinkie was walking down the street and singing about 'how good is this day', Rarity was designing a new outfits for customers, Rainbow Dash was practicing new stunts, Twilight has a "re-sefing day" with Spike's help and Fluttershy went shopping meals for animals. Everything was perfect by the time when Pinkie's tail start to twitch, at the last time she dodged a 'rainbow-colored' bullet that shot from the sky. When she looked what was that she saw her spectrum friend.

"OH MY GOSH, Rainbow says something!" demanded Pinkie when she started to shake with Rainbow, Rainbow knock her hooves off.

"Knock it off Pinkie! I'm fine." say Rainbow sign of annoy "I had worse." she was about to fly away, but she was stopped by deep pain around the wing. Rainbow pained cries. "Aggghhh, Darn it! What's happening?!" she tried again fly, but another pain came to her wing. She shouts again.

Pinkie giggled and says "Looks like Rainbow broke her wing, again. Come on Dashie, TO THE HOSPITAL" she shouted, dragged Dash and run towards the hospital.

When Rainbow recovered from what happened, she was standing on the front of the hospital, she lowers her ears and say, "Not this again, Why? Look Pinkie, it's not broken" when she flapped with wing, it was painful for her, but she pushed it pain back and smiled at Pinkie.

Pinkie insert hoof to her pink mane and pulls of... an X-ray? Anyway, It was X-ray of Rainbow's wing, Rainbow just stared, confused.

Pinkie point of her wing and say, "I think it is, I'm sorry Dashie, but I'll do a 'Heal-Faster-Rainbow' party!"

Dash looked confused, "When did you... You know what? Never mind." then entered a hospital with Pinkie behind her.
It was a small hospital, with few ponies roamed around, almost all of them have health issues, Pinkie and Rainbow make their way to the desk, behind it was a white pony with a cutie mark what looks like red cross. The mare's name was Redheard, she was a Nurse behind the desk.

"Good morning, how can I help you?" say a melody voice of Nurse Redheart.

Pinkie started, "I was walking around town, when my tail start twitching, I was like 'Something is going to Fall! Something is going to Fall!' then I saw Dashie tha-" when she stopped, she looks at her mount, she saw a cyan hoof, then looks up and saw Rainbow.

"I fell and broke my wing," said Rainbow simply. Then put out her hoof from Pinkie's mount.

"Again? Well, let's look at it..." Nurse said and starts walking to a Room with white doors with 14. number on it. She opened doors. There was a bed with a white blanket on it a doctor's tools and some other stuff. Pinkie stayed outside, about 15 minutes, doors creak open and Rainbow with a sad face and the bandage over her wing, looking at Pinkie.

"2 weeks without flying. How I suppose to fly home with broken wing?" Says Rainbow sadly when she walks out of the room.

"Come on Rainbow, Cheer up! You gonna have a pa-arty! And I think when you ask Twilight, she'll let you in her's.

"Egghead? Well, I don't have much choice, do I?"

"I don't think so, sorry Rainbow, I must go. Start to getting up your pa-arty!" said Pinkie cheerily.

"Bye, Pinks." said Rainbow and start make her way out of hospital.

About 10 minutes later, she stands on Twilight's doorstep and knocks on doors.

Doors opened and behind the doors was a purple dragon with green scales.

"Hey Rainbow, what's up?" Said Spike.

"Sky?" joked Rainbow. "Is Twilight home?" Rainbow asked the dragon.

"Yep, She is. Call her?" Spike asks. When Rainbow nodded dragon shout, "TWILIGHT! COME DOWN! RAINBOW IS HERE!"

"Cooomiing" comes from the second floor. Then was a purple flash of light and Twilight was standing beside her assistant, "Hi Rainbow"

" 'sup egghead! I need a place to drop. Will you?" ask Rainbow and show her wing,

"Crash?" Rainbow nodded, "Okay Rainbow, but how long you'll stay?" Twilight asked.

"2 weeks...? I know it's long, but I need only a place to sleep, I can sleep on couch... I will do everything!" said Rainbow quickly.

"It's okay, I will be happy to have you there, come in." Said Twilight and Rainbow enter a library, when she comes to second floor she simply stared, there was a mess, books all around floor.

"Sorry Rainbow today is Re-selfing day, soooo...." Twilight said slowly, "Wait, you said you do everything, right?" said Twilight moments later with a smirk. Then Rainbow's head shoot up.

"No, no, no.... Twiiiliiight." said rainbow with a sign of worry on her face.

"Please Rainbow, with your help it'll be faster and you owe me." say Twilight, while doing her cute face.

After sigh Rainbow said with a bored expression "Ok... I'll do it, but only because I owe you and you're my friend..."

Later that day. Twilight was putting the last book on her position in shelf. Beside her was Rainbow with a heartwarming sign on her face. Twilight put a book on the shelf and Rainbow said loud, "Finally! It took forever. Okay, where I'll sleep?" she said, looking for some place.

"There." Twilight point at the doors, "And we aren't finished yet. Go to loft, there are some books too." said to Rainbow who give her a disbelieving look.

"Really? Ohhh... I thought it was over, okay, let's get over it." said Rainbow a bit annoyedly. Then she went upstairs, loft was kind of small, but after all it was a loft, she found some books. Dash takes them, but something catches her eye. It was a bow, bow with few arrows. She takes a bow and arrows with her downstairs. Rainbow spotted Twilight in 'her' room. The unicorn was preparing a bed for Rainbow with white blanket.

Rainbow said, "Where put these?" Twilight's eyes went up and point at the corner near shelf. Rainbow put books on point Twilight mark and come back to Twilight.

"Twilight? Who's this bow?" said Rainbow with raising eyebrow.

"It used to be brother's, but he didn't know well how to use it, I try few times, he saw me one time and tell me to keep it, then I stop using it. I don't have time for it. You know, study." said Twilight simply with a smirk, Rainbow stares at her, ´Twilight, bow? What? She tried bow?´ she thought.

"Hmmm... Twilight? Will you mind if I try it?" say Rainbow, "I have much more time now."

"No, I won't mind, If you like it, take it, I don't use it so it only lying on loft" Twilight said nicely.

"Geee, Thanks Twi." Rainbow thanked and run (gallop?) outside try use bow. After half of an hour, she was shooting some arrows at targets, but she wasn't very good at it obviously, but she likes it, the bow was a good weapon, ´ This bow is awesome! Why I didn't try it before? ´, she thought and looks at west, it was nice sunset and the beginning of new Rainbow's hobby.

Author's Note

Chapter 1 - Decisions

6 months before

Rainbow was training, but not her flying tricks. She was training with the bow a little away from Sweet Apple Acres. She was in plain, today she want try ’spice things up’ and try fly while shooting arrows to dartboards (arrow boards). Dash was standing in front of 6 arrow boards suddenly Rainbow burst from her spot on speed that can compare Spitfire’s, while she was flying, she shot 6 arrows. She stopped in a blink and fly back to the arrow boards. 4 of got a hit, 2 right in the middle, third on top and last one, on the right. Dash smiles to herself and thought ’4 of 6, nice. When I’ll keep training, one day I’ll become best archer in Equestria. Awesome!’ and stand proudly. One title wasn’t enough for her. When she comes back home, she saw a somepony on her doorstep, or some-griffon. Gilda the griffon was standing right on the Rainbow’s doorstep. She was about to fly away when Dash calls her. "Hey, G! Long time, no see."

" ’sup Dash." said Gilda back when she spotted a bow on Rainbows back, "Is that a bow?"

"Sure it is! This thing is awesome! Try it." said Rainbow offering her bow.

"Sorry Dash, I don’t like these things, you know, if I think about it, I d-" she has been interrupted by a Pink flash.

"Hi, Dashie! Wanna hang out?" said the voice of Pinkie Pie, then she noticed a griffon standing beside her and quickly ask, "Who are you? You are new, aren’t you? Of course you are! I know everypony in Ponyville and I never ever saw a griffon in our village. Welcome! I am Pinkie Pie. What’s your name?" said with offering hoof.

Griffon only stares on Pinkie with dumbstruck, ’How can she stand on clouds? She isn’t a pegasus or griffon...’ Gilda thought and asks, "How can you stand on clouds?"

"Magic, duh! Cloudwalking spell for me from Twilight and answer my question! “ demanded Pinkie as she started to think about the cake she gonna make for the welcoming party for griffon.

"Gilda." said griffon slowly and turn her head on Rainbow, "Coming Rainbow?"

"Where?" asks pegasus simply. Griffon’s look told everything, "Pinkie come here," Pinkie skiped beside Rainbow, "Go make the Gilda welcoming party, she needs it." whispered in Pinkie’s ear.

"Great idea!" Shout Pinkie jumping to her balloon and flies down.

"Is she always like that?" asks Gilda Rainbow.

"Yes, but she means well. And her randomizes? We explain it with 4 words, Pinkie is being Pinkie." said pegasus with a giggle. "And she likes making new friends."

"Hmmm... Friends you say? I dunno, she seems hyper..."

"Like I said, Pinkie is being Pinkie." reply Rainbow, "Come in." invited Rainbow.

"Nice place, but what is this?" Gila said, pointing at a huge paper on the wall with something write on it.

"Oh, that? That is my list where I write every animal that I catch." Reply Dash with a smile.

"Catch? How and what do you do when you catch it?" asks Gilda.

"How? I use traps, I have caught many animals as you can see and trap is the most efficient technique for catch animal. And for Second question, I write how it looks and some stuff about it, then i let it go. I came after Fluttershy and ask her what animal it is, then go back home and write it here, it’s some kind of hobby." reply Dash with a grin. Gilda was in stare shock, Rainbow catches animals? How long I was out?... Wait traps? she thought.

"Ummm... Gilda?" asks Rainbow with a worry sign on her face.

Gilda recovered from her shock, "Show me! Show me some traps!" demanded from Rainbow.

Dash simply stared at griffon. A Moment later says, "Okay Gilda, but don’t use them on Ponies and don’t do it differently, you don’t wanna hurt animal, do you?"

"Of course not Dash! Why?"

"You know, if you refine these traps, they can hurt or worse... So please, promise me one thing, don’t improve any of these traps..."

"Yeah, yeah, I promise. Now show me!" Gilda demented again.

"Ok, here we go..."

Later that day.

Angry pegasus in front of a Sugarcube Corner was shouting at her griffon friend. "Darn it Gilda! What I told you about traps!"

"Don’t improve them, but come on, it was just a harmless prank." said Gilda.

"That, what you call ’harmless prank’ nearly killed Angel!" shot Rainbow back.

"Okay, okay, I guess, I little over did it, but rabbit is okay!" said griffon trying avoid talking about damage what she did.

"Okay? Okay?! Darn it Gilda! Angel has broken both legs, plus you give that rabbit fright from griffons for the rest of life. You know how long I was converting Fluttershy for what you did?" said angry pegasus. Gilda remained quiet, then Rainbow asked again, "Well, do you?!"

"No, Dash, I don’t." said Gilda, she seems hurt.

"Long and I don’t know if she is okay, she doesn’t want to talk with me..." Rainbow said lowering her voice down. "Gilda, please, go away and come back when I’ll be ok..."

"Dash, I’ll go, but I don’t know if we’ll meet again."

"Go! Just go..." said Dash ignoring her. Then Gilda spread her wings and took off. After that Rainbow was feeling low, so low.

On the same time in different place.

"You can’t be serious Lulu..." said Celestia to her sister.

"This is the only way! We must do it! Show them what we are made of!" reply back Luna.

"This is maddens! I will not allow this!"

"This is for the greater good! Don’t you see? Better sacrifice 6 ponies than lead pony-kind to war."

"If we show them compassion they w-"

"They are griffons for Faust sake! They will not listen to you. You are not that naive, are you?" Luna interrupted Celestia.

"Lulu...."

"Do it Celly, for greater good." require Luna from Celestia.

Celestia sigh in defeat, pulled off a Paper and start writing.

Present

"What is going on?" asked Twilight Sparkle a one of a guard.

"Got your team beside you earth pony and pegasus?" reply guard ignoring Twilight question. Twilight simply nodded. "Register your team here." said guard.

Twilight sighs and start writing 3 names, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkamina Diane Pie, Fluttershy.

"You got number 42." said guard and give Twilight a ticket. "Next!" shout the guard.

Next was Rarity, she seems timid. She has no idea what is going on, like Twilight.

"Got your team unicorn, earth pony and pegasus?" asks guard Rarity.

"Y-yes?" said Rarity

"Register your team here." point at a paper on the desk. Rarity writes down 3 names, Rarity Belle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack.
Then guard pull off a ticket with number 14, give it to Rarity and shout again. "Next!"

Friends reunited. Rainbow asked first. "What is going on here?"

Nopony have an answer to that question. Twilight sighs again and said, "I don’t know, but I heard, they need 6 ponies, and they will first ask for some volunteers, when they don’t find anyone they will choose randomly."

"Maybe it is for some kind of party, and only 6 can go!" said Pinkie with a grin.

"Ah don’t know, but Ah don’t think it will be for some kind of party. Ah know these, this will be for some bad stuff." said Applejack low.

"I think Applejack is right, I hardly think it will be for the party, but when they choose any of us, another team will enter willingly, okay?" asked Twilight.

"I never leave friends hanging. Twi, I am in!" said Rainbow.

Others simply nodded. Twilight smiles and with friends, go to the theater.

A pony on theater starts, "Welcome! Maybe some ones of you don’t know, but today we are gonna choose 6 of you to play on Hunger games!"

With last 2 words Twilight’s eyes expand. ’Hunger games?! Oh no, Ohno Ohno Ohno! This is some kind of prank! Celestia cannot allow this!’ she thought and start panicking.

"Okay! Without other words, let’s draw!" said Theater-guy.

Meanwhile, Twilight explain to her friends what Hunger games are. Everypony seems horrified.

Rainbow is first to ask, "Are you sure Twilight...?"

"Yes Rainbow! But I don’t know why? Ponies weren’t in these games for ages!"

"173!" Shout Theater-guy. Applejack’s, Rainbow’s and Rarity’s eyes were full of horror, from crowd ascend 3 fillies, known as a cutie mark crusaders.

Immediately Applejack, Dash and Rarity in common said. "Wait!" then Dash fled from the crowd to the theater and said, "We are going instead of them."

Then Twilight said, "We are going to!" Theater-guy was surprised.

"Alright. It’s selected! These 6 mares go!" then whisper turn away from the crowd, pull off a list with signed ponies and say aloud, "Team 14, unicorn Rarity Belle, pegasus Rainbow Dash, earth pony Applejack and team 42, unicorn Twilight Sparkle, pegasus Fluttershy and earth pony Pinkamina Diane Pie are selected to play 26 class of Hunger games!"

Behind the crowd was Celestia with Luna beside, Celestia whispered weakly, "No..."

At that moment, Luna realizes what she has done. 6 mares, which saved her, are now going to death. She hung her head in shame and snob escape her lips. She is going to lose 6 mares that saved her. They are going to die in the battlefield of Hunger games and all because of her. She was feeling so low...

Now, she is regretting her decision.

Chapter 2 - Farewells

Chapter 2 - Farewells
×××××

On the edge of the theater were arguing 3 fillies and their sisters.

“Rainbow Daaash, why did you go instead of us? It was perfect opportunity to earn our cutie marks.” Objected orange little pegasus.

´More likely Perfect opportunity to kill yourself ´ thought Rainbow Dash. “Girls, I think we should end this conversation. You don’t have any idea about situation.”

As soon as Rainbow Dash ended, Sweetie Belle sighed and said. “You just explain it and we could-“

“No.” Rarity cuts down Sweetie´s sentence and added. “You don’t understand!” a small snob escaped Rarity´s lips.

When Sweetie Belle saw Rarity, She abated. She knew something wasn’t right, but she also knew when Rarity wants her to be quiet. But that didn’t stop Scootalo from asking. “Then explain! Why we can’t go?”

“Because we don’t want to lose you.” Applejack said with tears in her eyes. As soon as she said it, she covered her mount, but it was late.

Applebloom’s eyes wielded. “What do you mean? What kind of game it is? Does it mean I can lose you?”

And then was quiet, it was so quiet that you can hear in background hiss of leaves. But quiet was only for a moment. Applebloom break silence. “ANSWER ME!”

3 sisters looked at each other. Nopony was brave enough to answer those questions. Moments later, Rainbow Dash sighed and tried to calm this situation. “Girls, I think we should calm down and-“

Scootalo cut Rainbow Dash “Rainbow please, answer us.” Doubt filled her voice.
Rainbow Dash bit her lips, sighed and revealed truth about games. “You know, what´s the name of this game…” 3 fillies nodded. “Hunger Games is a game on… live” Last word was spoken so quietly as if it was said by Fluttershy.

3 young fillies were frozen, like they were watching a horror movieMoments later, Sweetie Belle said. “… Rainbow Dash? If this is some kind of your pranks that this is low.”

Rainbow Dash turned head from fillies. Applejack answered fillies. “No girls, this is no prank, Ah´m sorry.

“NO! I DON’T LET THEM, TAKE YOU!” shouted Applebloom and grabbed her sisters front hoof like it was the new toy. But instead happiness there was sorrow. Everypony started crying, even Rainbow Dash led her to drop some tears.

After moments of sorrow Scootalo looked up to her adoptive sister. She asked one last question. “When?”

Rainbow Dash was first confused but then she understood the question and said simply, “Tomorrow *sigh* morning.”

“How could you?!”

A loud scream was heard in the royal castle. In the castle were 6 mares of harmony with 2 princesses. Twilight was angry like not before, she was so angry that she didn’t realize she was screaming at royal princesses who hung their heads.

Princess Celestia looked up at Twilight and spoken. “Twilight, my dear stude-“ she was cut.

“NO! No… I don’t want to hear another ´twilight, my dear student…´” said Twilight and added “I want to hear truth.”

“We don’t have any choice.” Celestia Answered simply.

“What do you mean by that?” Twilight burned with rage.

“We must do it, otherwise we would have war with Griffon Empire.” Princess Celestia said, her voice sounded like something between snob and shout.

Twilight was surprised, but she quickly recovered and said. “There are different ways to prevent war.”

Luna answered before Celestia could. “We tried everything but Griffon Empire got a new ruler. He wound find any reason for war!”

Twilight shot back. “So your best option was sent 6 ponies to this ...brutal Game?!”

“It´s for the greater good!” Luna tried to reason.

“I think you want to say ´It was´.” Said Twilight coldly.

Luna opened her mount, but no words were said. She got no words…

Twilight turned and started walking down the hall. She turned her head to two sad princesses and said. “If I survive this, I don’t think I want to see you again.” And then she left.

These words bring only more sorrow in the situation. Celestia started to freely cry and muttering to herself. “Why did I do it?” over and over again. Everypony else started to leave only the last one of mane 6 stayed, Rainbow Dash.

“You should come tomorrow to PonyVille, to say at least good-bye.” Rainbow Dash said and left.

Next morning

“No, please don’t go…” said Sweetie Belle held her sister´s front hoof.

“Sorry darling, I must go, it´s decided.” Said Rarity with sweet but sad voice.

Sweetie Belle hung her head, she can´t cry, she had nothing left to cry, she cried herself to sleep in the hug of her sister. Suddenly she stood up and galloped to her bedroom. Rarity was confused, ´what was that?´ she thought then she step into her sisters room. She wished that she didn’t. There was a mess like no other. The bedroom was like after one of Pinkie´s party.

“Sweetie Belle! What is this? Why are you creating this mess?” shouted Rarity.

Sweetie Belle didn’t answer. A moment after she squealed happily and galloped to Rarity with a pendant in her hooves.
“What is this, darling?” asked Rarity.

“It´s a lucky amulet. Me, Applebloom and Scootalo were trying to get cutie marks as Jewelers. Please take it as a gift from me.”

Rarity took the pendant to telekinesis and read what is written on it. ´Best Sister EVER and 3 hearts´ this was heartwarming. She gave pendant to Sweetie Belle and hung her head on sisters level.

Sweetie Belle looked at her with a sad expression and said. “You don’t like him, do you?”

Rarity only smiled and said. “Darling, It´s simply beautiful. I want from you to sling it on me.”

Sweetie Belle did as she was told and smiled for a first time that day. They stood up and heat to the PonyVille station.

When they arrived on station. All they can see was a mass of ponies. Some from Canterlot, some from Appolosa but mostly from PonyVille. Rarity saw her 5 best friends on the train platform. She heard Spike as he was saying.

“Please Twilight, let me.”

“Sorry Spike, but you can’t go with me.” Said purple unicorn.

“Why? I would protect you from them, why you won´t let me?”

“It doesn’t depend on me, sorry, Spike you can´t come with me.”

Spike only hung his head. Not whining to continue to argue.

“Spike, Please, Take care of the Library, do you? Spike nodded in agreement.

As Princess Cadence was coming they knew what must be done. They said their last farewells and entered the train.

Pinkie Pie opened first wagon and shouted. ”YEEY, Shining Armor is going too!”

Twilight´s heart skipped a beat. Surprised mare said. “Big Brother?”

Shining Armor only looked up sadly and greeted her sister. “Hello Twilight.”

Author's Note

Guess who´s back? :pinkiehappy:

Guess I should explain why is RD acting like OCC (Not bragging herself etc...).
Well, how to put this... She seems like OCC because she understands situation she and her friends are in. She doesn´t want to add a wood into the fire...

Chapter 3 - Your Guide

Chapter 3 - Your Guide
×××××

Twilight Sparkle stood before her brother wide-eyed as she was trying comprehend one simple question. ´Why is my brother here?´. Theories were so many, but only 2 were the most significant and they were ´Is he coming too?´ and ´Is he here to help us?´. This theories can be answered only by Shining. “Shining, why are you here?” Twilight said with a tone that had the mark of worry.

Her brother looked at her and said. “I come to help you because of order from Princess Celestia, but to be honest? I would come even if she would forbid it.”

Almost all worries Twilight had were gone by the end of this sentence. 'Almost'.

Main 6 entered the room and Pinkie started. “Oh, oh, Hello Shining. I haven’t seen you since… I dunno, but it was really long. Are you coming too? I am so excited like the first day we met… Wait! You didn´t have welcome party yet! It simply mu-. “She was cut off. Yes, she was!

“Pinkie please, be quiet. Shining is trying to say something.” Twilight said as she looked at her brother.

Shining was thinking, thinking about the same thing that didn’t let him sleep last night, nor think clearly since his discussion with princesses. ´Why them?´ dumb luck? Another heroism? Whatever reason was, he wanted to know that reason. But priorities first.

Rarity interrupted the silence and Shining´s thoughts. “Shining, darling, you were trying to say something, weren´t you?”

“Huh? ... Oh, Yes, of course. About the games.” Said Shining as he was trying to sort his thoughts. “First of all, I must ask you something. Do you have any experiences with this?” That was a cruel thing to ask, he knew, nopony should have experience with this kind of survive.

Main 6 looked at each other and shook their heads.

“As I expected. Let’s start, Tell me something about yourselves, so I can set you perfect role.”

Moments later of silence Twilight clear her throat and asked. “Can I start?”

Almost immediately her question was answered by another 5. “Of course, darling.” “Go on.” And nods from other ones.

“Thank you, Shining I didn’t change at all, well except maybe that I put my friends first.” Said Twilight Proudly.

Applejack continued “If there’s somethin’ Ah’m proud about, it’s my strength. Also, ah reckon there’s somepony that is faster than me.” Applejack said with 'the' smirk on Rainbow Dash, who returned blank expression.

Rainbow tried light up the mood. “Ha! Some element of honesty you are! Everypony in this room, if not in the whole world, know that I’m way faster than you Applesmack! It doesn’t matter if I am in the air or on the land.” Rainbow Dash challenged.

“Oh! Y’all so on!” Applejack accepted.

“Rainbow, Applejack, are you done?” Twilight said with a roll of her eyes.

“Yeah.” “Yep.” Said RD and AJ simply.

“Thank you. Without any interruptions, we can continue.”

“Very well. Greetings Shining Armor, I am Rarity, the fashionista from Ponyville and someday I want to set a small fashion boutique in Canterlot.” Rarity said without thinking, automatically.

“Um, thank you… I don’t know how that will help but…” Shining muttered.

“Rarity, I think that Shining Armor didn’t mean this in his question, I can be wrong if I am then I am sorry…” Timid pegasus said.

“Oh, my apologies Shining Armor, I have many ponies that ask me same question, hehe…” Small nervous chuckle escaped as Rarity started thinking about her answer. Moments later she answered. “I don’t have any experience that can help, but I know Tai-Chi.”

“Wait… That spell you use to find gems.”

“Yes? What about it, darling.”

“We can Refine that spell so it can find a life around.” Said Twilight with all her excitement.

“Great Plan, but it has a few flaws, like, if you use it, it will find not only your friends around you, but also all animals around. I suggest that you can re-make it so it can find the specific temperature of the body. I don’t know if wolves, zebras or griffons have different temperature of the body, but worth a try.” Suggest Shining as he looked at the last 3 of Main 6 who didn’t (practically) tell anything about them. “What about you 3? I am pretty sure that your speed isn’t all that meet the eye Rainbow.”

“Of course it isn’t. I’m black-belt on the karate. I can use properly bow and best of all pause for dramatic effect , Sonic Rainboom!” Said Rainbow proudly with a hoof on her chest. Shining only nod. That was devastating for Rainbow.

“What about you Fluttershy?”

“I… um… I can speak with differ-rent kind of animals… that, if it isn’t enough I am sorry…” muttered Fluttershy.

“Speak with animals?” Shining asked with a sign of confusion.

“Y-yes, Is that bad?”

“No, It’s fantastic, definitely it’ll have any use.”

“What about The Stare!” demanded Rainbow Dash from Fluttershy.

“The Stare?” again, Shining asked with a sign of confusion.

“Um, how to describe it, it’s a humbo-jumbo vision magic that can order animals.” Rainbow Dash tried to explain Fluttershy's ‘humbo-jumbo vision magic’.

“Really?” Shining looked at Fluttershy.

“Yes, but I don’t like us-“ Shining cut her off.

“Brilliant, you are full of surprises Fluttershy.” Shining said with a small smile, then he looked Pinkie Pie.”What about you?”

Pinkie Pie started throwing with her hoofs with strange gesticulation.

“Pinkie Pie, is something matter, darling?” Rarity asked.

Pinkie let out a sigh. Pull off from her mane a note show it to her.

Twilight said that I should be quiet, so I am trying to show you.

It was time to almost synchronized group face-hoof. After that Twilight said. “Pinkie, I said you should be quiet because Shining was trying to say his reason, why he is here.”

“Mmm m?”

Well, that sound like a question, Twilight didn’t understand muttering, but she translated it to ‘So? I can talk now?’ She had to answer that. “Yes, you can.”

Pinkie Pie let out a squeak, jumped and galloped to a canteen wagon, she came back with a giant cake.

Everypony else wear a same look of confusion. Twilight was first that shook herself from a state of confusion and asked. “Um… Why do you have that cake, Pinkie?”

“Mmmm m mmmm.” Pinkie pie muttered again. It was getting annoying.

“UH! Pinkie Pie! I told you, you can speak.” Twilight said and after the deep breath from Pinkie, Twilight waited for her response that never came.” Pinkie, can you tell us why you have that cake.”

“It’s for Shining Armor’s party, of course. Duh!”

“Huh? Wait, wait, wait… When do somepony said that Shining will have a party?”

“I asked you, you said I can.”

“What? When?” confused as ever Twilight said.

“I asked you when I couldn't talk.” Group face-hoof, again.

“Sorry, but we don’t have time for this!” Twilight tried to reason Pinkie.

“No time for party?! WHO ARE YOU?!” Pinkie shouted at Twilight.

“Pinkie, please, You can have a party when we come back, okay?”

“Okay.” Pinkie replied with an unreal smile on her face.

“Ladies, when your episode is over, we should come back to a business.” He got small nod from Twilight and hug from Pinkie.

“U, uuu, It’s my turn now, isn’t it? Hi, I am Pinkie Pie. 1. Party proper in Ponyville. I live in Sugarcube Corner. I plan and make parties
for everypony, when you want so-“ A horrid sound came from Pinkie’s mouth as she started sobbing.

Fluttershy and Applejack automatically said. “What is it, Pinkie Pie?”

“I forget to throw a party for Cheerilie *snob*. It’s her *snob* birthday today. She will hate me.” And she started crying. Shining started to worry, her tears were like waterfalls that instantly despaired after they reached the floor.

‘That doesn’t make any sense!’ shouted Shining Armor in his mind.

-Pinkie Pie doesn’t make sense, deal with it.

‘Huh? What was that?’ confusion erupted in Shining’s head.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Fluttershy was trying to calm Pinkie. “There, there, Pinkie. I am sure when we come back home and go apologize to Cheerilie, she will forgive you.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“Yeey!”

Shining regained his consciousness.”Pinkie, do you have something that can help us?”

“Of course, I have party cannon here. This room will be decorated in ten second flat.”

-Copyright Pinkie! That is Rainbow’s quote!

“So what? I can’t use it because it’s Rainbow's quote?”

-Well…

“Ha, that what I thought, now hush!”

-Grr… You won a battle Pinkie, but war is far from over, I swear!

“Like you can win against me!”

‘Don’t ask it. Don’t ask it.’ Shining repeated in his head, then he asked. “What was that!” ‘Why did you ask it!’

“That was MyLiveStyle, nobody important. We can continue. Something that can help… Well Pinkie sense can!”

“Who is MyLiveStyle? Did you say ‘Nobody’? Also, what is Pinkie sense?” Shining asked. 'YOU IDIOT! Why did you ask that! It won't be healthy for your mind, and you know it!' Shining's mind yell at him.

“He’s an au-“

“NO Pinkie! Don’t!” Twilight shouted. Pinkie only moaned. “Huh, that was close one.” Twilight muttered. “Don’t try to understand it Shining, just accept it.”

“Oookayy…”

“As for Pinkie sense. It’s a tick or series of ticks that can predict an upper coming danger, like something is gonna fall from the sky, etc.…” Twilight tried to explain, but it’s not like you can explain unexplained.

'Okay, Now i have 2 thinks to ask.' Shining thought. “Uh huh… Great, we totally will have any use for it, I guess?.” He shooed his head, enough of this confusion. He tried to collect his thoughts, after a moment of confusion he said. “Now, something about Hunger games.”

“Don’t let us stop you.” Rarity stopped him.

Shining shook his head and started to question. ”Do you know who you stand against?” they nodded. “Well, maybe you do, but I will say it anyway. Zebras are in nature like a fish in the water. Be sure to not let them surprise you. Look for their shaman. Wolves have weapon advantage, their teeth are like knives, they can run faster than nopony (well, except Rainbow Dash, maybe Applejack) but the rest of you can’t out-run them. Griffons are similar to wolves, only they have flying advantage, but they are way slower than wolves. Now, about you. You all are extraordinary, Of course, unicorns can use magic, pegasai can fly and earthponies have lots of strength, but only 3 of you posses these abilities. Strength, speed and magic are only statistic data, I can look at your cutie marks and I know that is not true. They will expect a 2 most magical, 2 strongest and 2 fastest ponies we have. That is where they are wrong and that is where you got advantage.”

Shining looked at his sister. “Twilight, you are a pony who got most magical energy whiting yourself, they will try taking you on before anypony else, don’t let them take you by surprise, otherwise it will be your end.” Said Shining in his serious tone.

Shining looked at spectrum-maned pegasus. “Rainbow Dash, your speed is nearly unreal, what I am saying? It is unreal.”

Rainbow dash thought about it a moment, then she asked. “Are you referring Sonic Rainboom?”

“Yes, I do, but I suggest that you shouldn’t do it in the arena, I will tell my reasons. First of all, use your flying only in a time when it’s needed, flying makes you a positional target for everyone in the land who can see you and they have something that can shoot you down. Second of all, I don’t know if there is enough space to create Sonic Rainboom. And the last reason, it can be easily tracked down, am I clear?”

As much as Rainbow tried to deny his logic, he has a point, she nodded.

“Good, now.” He turned on the other pegasus in the room. “Fluttershy, your talking with animals ability can help with scanning arena and you can make powerful allies that can save your life. When you enter the arena, you will go with Rarity find first animal and befriend it.” He said his piece, she seems thinking about it and after a jiffy she nodded.

Shining continued. “Rarity, I think you know what you should do, now you go with twilight and both of you will try refining that spell you talked about.” He got a nod from both of mares.

Shining looked at Applejack. “Applejack, your strength won’t be useless. You’ll be the defender of your group, but defender doesn’t mean that you will jump in first battle you see. Do you understand?“ She nodded. “Good, I know what you Twilight think, more we kill them, the better chances we have, but that isn’t absolutely right, because of the risks, you should wait, find any safehouse or something and don’t go out before there will be last team of your enemies alive, it will increase your chances to survive all of you.”

Shining turned on last mare standing in the room. “Pinkie Pie, your unpredictability and your Pinkie… sense? Yeah, Pinkie Sense is going to be in use, I guess?”

Shining continued. “Alright, now something about game itself. At the beginning you appear in a field, right in front of you, In the middle of all 24 of you will be placed where will be all kinds of weapons. I know how it sounds, but don’t go there, just run in the woods and start searching for water. In the beginning of games will be massacred in that ‘place’. At the midnight there will be sent into the air a pyrotechnic. Light blue means that some zebra died. Red means that Griffon died. Light green means wolves and… Yellow means someone of you dies…”

The atmosphere changed nearly at Rainboom-speed from listening to despair.

The only thing that can be heard is muttering of Rainbow Dash. “I officially hate yellow right now…”

“Did I forget something to mention?”

“I think you said everything, Shining.” Twilight said seriously.

The last thought that Rainbow had was ‘Yeah, everything, it’s not like we are going to sadistic game… great.’
