Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight was sitting depressed on a bench near a fountain.

''What am i going to do?''

''Maybe they where right, maybe i am boring and one sided.''

She stared at the water coming out of the fountain when she heard a few fillies talking about a new arcade in town.

''Excuse me, did you say a arcade?''

The filly smiled and awnsered: ''Yep, its near here actually.''

Twilight thought to herself: ''If i can get a highscore at one of those games it might show that im not boring, because nobody who plays video games is boring.''

She went to the arcade and walked around for a bit.

There where some racing games and an Arrow shoot game, but mostly some claw games.

But one game in particullar caught her attention.

A game in the back with alot of fillies standing around it called: Dance like Crazy.

Appearantly everybody was playing it, leaving the rest of the arcade quite empty.

''I guess that will be the game that i will win the highscore at''

After waiting for what seemed like hours in line she finnaly got a change to play it.

The game costs two bits that Twilight happily inserted into the machine.

Suddenly the game began to talk one word at a time with flashy lights and alot of soundeffect.

''ARE.....YOU.....READY......TO......DANCE?!!''

Twilight awnsered: ''I'm ready.''

Purple arrows started to appear on screen and every time they hovered over the same arrow on the screen she needed to put her hoof on the same arrow beneath her.

The first 30 seconds Twilight tried to figure out what she needed to do untill one filly behind her screamed it to her.

When she finnaly figured it out she was still playing terrible.

Every time an arrow popped up she first examened it on screen then she slowly looked beneath her to find the matching arrow and then she would gently put her hoof on it, not knowing she was already 5 seconds to late.

After about 5 minutes of repeating the same routine that didnt work the game ended with her having 0 points.

Every filly in the arcade laughed at her.

Twilight left the arcade with a tear in her eye.
