//-------------------------------------------------------// Mario Party at the Library -by NotQuiteABrony- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Starting it Up //-------------------------------------------------------// Starting it Up ''Come on, Twilight! Get the game started!'' said an anxious and bored Rainbow Dash. ''Just hold on, it'll be ready right away. Oh! Here's the trouble. The color cords aren't plugged in''. Rainbow Dash and Twilight, along with Pinkie Pie and Applejack were getting ready to play (a ponified version of) Mario Party 5 after buying it and a brand new Neightendo PonyCube at PonyMart, a huge store in Canterlot. ''Oh my gosh, this is gonna be so much fun! I love parties! And balloons! Do you think there will be balloons in this game?'' said a very excited Pinkie Pie. ''Don't y'all think we should read the rules first?'' stated Applejack, to which Rainbow replied ''Rules, schmules. It can't be THAT hard to figure out! It's just a video game''. The screen popped up with the words 'MARIO PARTY 5' on it and below was 'PRESS START'. ''Finally! It took a while, but now it works! Happy, Rainbow Dash?'' said Twilight. ''Of course! I mean, it only took, what, 45 minutes?'' Rainbow said sarcastically, ''but why can we only play Party Mode? We should at least get another option!''. Twilight then selected Party Mode where they got sent to a character select screen. Imagine the humans in Mario Party 5 as ponies and all animals stay the same. The selections were: Twilight picked Princess Peach because she looked classy Rainbow Dash picked Waluigi strictly because, at first glance, she was laughing so hard she was laying down, crying and because he has a funny name Pinkie picked Wario because of the same reason as RD Applejack picked Mario because he ''looks like a respectful feller'' Then came the time to pick the board. Of course, Rainbow Dash wanted Rainbow Dream, Pinkie wanted Sweet Dream and Toy Dream, and Applejack and Twilight wanted Pirate Dream. Ultimately, Rainbow and Pinkie agreed to Pirate Dream so Twilight selected it. Peach, Waluigi, Wario, and Mario flew into the picture of it with Pinkie screaming ''WEEEEEEE!!!'' and RD still trying to hold back laughter from the appearance of Wario and Waluigi. Suddenly, they were in Pirate Dream with the board being shown. The screen cut to their characters and Eldstar. ''Who's the geezer?'' asked Rainbow Dash. ''Rainbow! Y'all should respect yer elders!'' replied Applejack. ''Fine, who's the star geezer?'' she said as Applejack just shook her head. ''Apparently his name is Eldstar and he's our guide for the game'' said Twilight, reading the text as Pinkie was shaking in her seat, obviously a little overexcited. ''Yeah, yeah, just cut to the chase and let us play already!'' Rainbow Dash said, impatiently. Okay, Rainbow. I'll type up when you guys start. ''Thank you, whoever you are!''. I'm the author. Whatever I write, you all do! ''Okay, so let us start!''. Ehh, next time. ''OH COME O-'' Hey guys, just want to say thanks for reading this. It's my first fanfic and it will be terrible. I can feel it. The only consolation I have is that I'm 14 so I don't have advanced writing skills. I'll see you guys on the next chapter of Mario Party at the Library! //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's do this! //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's do this! Before we start, I should clarify. They're playing a 15 turn game with Bonus Stars and all mini-games on. I was going with 35 but damn that'll take too long. ''Now, roll the dice and see who goes first!''. The words appeared kind of slow, but fast enough that Rainbow Dash wasn't complaining. ''Watch and learn, everypony, as I, the amazing Rainbow Dash will go first!''. RD hit A as Waluigi hit the Dice Block. A 7 appeared. ''Ha! I'd like to see you beat that!''. Twilight rolled an 8, Pinkie Pie rolled a 9 and Applejack rolled a 10. Rainbow Dash was dumbfounded and the others were trying so very hard to hold back all laughter, but they all failed. ''Thank ya, karma!'' said Applejack in between surges of laughter. ''I like this already!!!'' yelled Pinkie. ''I don't believe in karma, but that just has to be it!'' Twilight calmly claimed. They all looked over at Rainbow as she muttered words that the normal pony couldn't hear. ''Ah beg yer pardon, sugarcube?'' asked Applejack, wiping away tears of laughter. ''She said that we'll all get ours at some point!'' said Pinkie, still giggling (i did say 'normal'). 'The first star you'll shoot for is over here!'' as the screen moved towards a space after a bridge, in between a blue space and a red space. TURN 1 MARIO START ''Yeehaw, here we go!'' yelled Applejack, when it was her turn to hit the dice. Applejack tapped A, Mario hit the dice, and it was a 5. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and suddenly ''Hello, I'm a capsule machine! Would you like a capsule?'' (Yes) (No). ''Sure, why not?'' and a capsule came out. ''I think that machine has a tummyache! He just barfed a ball!'' said Pinkie Pie, concerned for a video game machine's health. 'You got a Super Mushroom Capsule!' appeared in a text box. Applejack's turn finished as she hit a red space. ''Aw, for goodness sake...'' as she lost 3 coins. WARIO START ''Yay! It's my turn! I hope I get a 10, or even a 9 or maybe a-'' Pinkie was cut off. ''Just hit A, Pinkie'' said an impatient Rainbow Dash. Pinkie hit A, Wario lifted his fat body off the ground and got a 2, but a blue space at the same time. ''Aww, I wanted to get the machine!''. ''Well, maybe next time Pinkie, but now it's my turn'' Twilight said excitedly PEACH START ''Now, by my calculations, if I hit it at the right time, I should get a high number!'' said Twilight, matter-of-factly. ''And...now!'' she hit A, and a 10 appeared. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked confused at how she did that when the numbers were moving so fast. When she got to the capsule machine, she got a Koopa Bank Capsule. ''Does this mean I can open a bank?''. Peach stopped moving at a blue space. WALUIGI START ''Aww yeah, here's how a pro does it!'' Rainbow Dash said with a cocky tone in her voice. 'A' button, Waluigi jumping, 9 appearing. ''Hehe, sweet!'' as Waluigi started running, and got to the capsule machine. Rainbow Dash managed to get a Chain Chomp Capsule. ''That looks so awesome!''. Waluigi continued running and hit a red space. 2 VS. 2 MINIGAME MARIO AND WALUIGI VS. PEACH AND WARIO ''Let's do this, Applejack!'' ''You got it, partner!'' said Rainbow Dash and Applejack as they brohoofed. ''Come on, Twilight! We can win! Although, I don't see how you can win a party unless-'' ''Umm, let's just try to win the mini-game for now'' ''Okie dokie lokie!'' from the other team of Twilight and Pinkie Pie as they nodded at eachother MANIC MALLETS Twilight skimmed through the instructions while Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were trying to read them. ''Got it!'' said the 3 in unison. The minigame started as they all readied to hit A repeatedly. RD and AJ were on a roll, tapping it as fast as they could. Twilight was taking it slow, and Pinkie was somehow hitting A faster than RD, AJ and Twilight. Combined. The mallet in the background turned as the time ran out. The mallet crushed Mario and Waluigi and... PEACH AND WARIO WIN ''Good job, Pinkie! There was a reason I took it slow''. The winners looked over at RD and AJ as they started stuttering, saying ''How the? But what? And then? HUH?!?''. Pinkie giggled and said ''It's okay, guys! There's still lots more partying to do!'' Who knew one turn could take this long? Well, Mario Party is eventful and I don't plan on pulling out. Give whatever feedback you feel this deserves and I'll see you next time! //-------------------------------------------------------// New Spectator //-------------------------------------------------------// New Spectator Positions: 4th is Applejack/Rainbow Dash, each with 0 stars, 7 coins. 1st is Twilight/Pinkie Pie, each with 0 stars and 23 coins. TURN 2 MARIO START Applejack looked ready to roll, literally and figuratively. She wanted to use her Super Mushroom Capsule, but was told by the game that she couldn't afford it. ''Aww, shucks. Ah was really lookin' forward to it.'' said a disappointed Applejack. ''Yeah, yeah, tragic. Now get to rolling!''. Rainbow Dash was clearly getting impatient. She had to wait long enough, going last. Now this? ''Fine, but when ah do use it, you're gonna regret costin' me that mini-game!'' Applejack said as she rolled, getting a 6, hitting a green '?' space. A boulder suddenly came out of a cave, ending up where Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight were, sending them all back 1 space behind Rainbow Dash. ''Oops, hehe...'' said Applejack as she looked over at Twilight ''Oh, it's alright, Applejack. It's not like you could have known you were going to get that!'' said Twilight, perfectly alright with the situation. ''Aww, thanks Twilight. Are you alright with it, Rainb-''. Applejack was cut off as she looked at Rainbow Dash, who was glaring at her with anger. ''Ah'm gonna take that as a 'no'''. WARIO START ''MY TURN! MY TURN!'' said a, once again, excited Pinkie Pie. She somehow managed to be able to count the numbers on the dice block, perfectly. '1, 6, 9, 10, 7, 2, 4, 6, 7, NOW!'' she said as she hit the button and got....a....10! Once again, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, shocked, answered with ''How the? But what? And then? HUH?!?'' Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Twilight paused the game, opened the door and there was Fluttershy. (side note, someone wanted Fluttershy in ASAP. Here you go, my friend!) ''Hello, Twilight. What are you four doing?'' asked the always quiet Fluttershy. ''Just playing Mario Party. It's a video game we got in Canterlot. It's so much fun! Isn't that right, everypony?'' ''Yes, ma'am!'' said Applejack. ''Oh, it's so much fun! It's just like a real party! Except you win stuff! Maybe I can throw a party like th-'' Pinkie Pie was cut short by Rainbow Dash. ''Tons of fun, even though I know I'm going to win!'' said RD with a cocky tone. ''Come watch, Pinkie is just on her turn!'' said Twilight. ''Well, alright. It sounds fun for everyone!'' said Fluttershy. Pinkie's turn continued as she got to the capsule machine. She got a Bowser Capsule ''Who's Bowser?'' came from all 5 of the ponies. Suddenly, Wario was crushed by a gigantic lizard, turtle, beast thing. Twilight got startled, Pinkie laughed at his appearance, Rainbow Dash and Applejack didn't react, and......wait...... ''Where's Fluttershy?'' asked Rainbow Dash. ''Down here'' suddenly came from behind the couch. Fluttershy was visibly terrified by Bowser's appearance. ''Bwahahaha!! Let's make this more fun! I'm going to turn one red space into a Bowser space!''. Bowser's logo appeared on the space in front of the other three. ''Now what in tarnation does that thing do?'' asked Applejack. Pinkie kept moving, hopped off the skeleton, passed Twilight and the others, over the Bowser space and got yet another capsule machine. This time, it was a Super Mushroom Capsule. ''Aww, I wanted the funny man to appear again!'' said Pinkie, somewhat disappointed. ''Oh, I didn't! That scaly skin, those teeth, those horns! AHHHH'' said Fluttershy, managing to scare herself. Pinkie landed on a blue space and got 3 coins. PEACH START Twilight closed her eyes, imagined the speed of the dice block, and....another 10! Rainbow Dash and Applejack didn't even bother to question it this time, but Fluttershy did. ''How did you do that, Twilight? That was cool!'' said Fluttershy ''Calculating the speed, imagining when 10 would come, blah, blah, blah'' said Rainbow Dash, bored of waiting for her turn. Twilight got to the capsule machine, and got a Mushroom Capsule. Peach passed 3 spaces and climbed a ladder. Twilight decided to go left, landing on a Chain Chomp. Guess who got scared again? ''This game is scary!'' said Fluttershy, first scared by Bowser, now Chain Chomp. ''Chomp, Chomp, Chomp (I'm gonna steal coins or a star for you!)'' appeared in the text box. Unfortunately for Twilight, she could only pick coins. There was a list of who to take coins from. Mario, Wario, Waluigi, Random. She picked random and she stole 10 coins from.....Waluigi. It ended up being 7, taking every last coin from RD. ''Oh come on!!!'' said Rainbow Dash, upset about her loss of coins. Twilight ended up with 7 coins and a bonus 3. Blue space. WALUIGI START ''Finally,'' said Rainbow Dash, ''I've been waiting forever! Now I'll roll high!''. Rainbow Dash hit A, the dice was hit and she got a.....HAHAHAHA......a 1! There was a low groan coming from RD, while again, the others were crying from laughter. Only this time, they were joined by Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash then looked at Fluttershy and she straightened out. ''Sorry, Rainbow Dash'' Fluttershy apologized. While this was happening, no one noticed she hit the Bowser Space. ''OH COME ON!!!!!''. At this point, even Rainbow Dash was laughing. It was so funny, it brought the cockiest pony to laughter. ''Gwahahaha! What bad thing can I do? I KNOW!'' and at that moment, BOWSER BONUS appeared. ''I'll give you a Ztar star to help you with your troubles!''. It did nothing and Fluttershy was, once again, behind the couch. Meanwhile, the others were arguing over how you pronounce 'Ztar'. 2 VS. 2 MINIGAME MARIO AND WALUIGI VS. PEACH AND WARIO ''You better not screw up this time, Applejack!'' said Rainbow Dash ''Me?! You were the one who couldn't press a dang button to save your life!'' retaliated Applejack. Twilight and Pinkie just high-fived. MARIO CAN-CAN ''Ooh, ah know ah'll win this one! It has my name right in it!'' said Applejack. ''So does the whole game, doesn't mean you'll win that" said Rainbow Dash. The ponies looked at the controls and knew what to do. This mini-game is pretty straightforward, so I'll just say who won. MARIO AND WALUIGI WIN ''Yeah!'' cheered Rainbow Dash. ''Yeehaw!'' said Applejack. ''That was so much fun, I don't think there will be a mini-game that could top that! Never, not ever!'' said Pinkie Pie ''Good job, you guys!'' said Twilight, congratulating the winners ''That was, um, very good'' said Fluttershy. 1st: PEACH: 33 COINS 2nd: WARIO: 26 COINS 3rd: MARIO: 17 COINS 4th: WALUIGI: 10 COINS //-------------------------------------------------------// PLEASE READ *EDITED* //-------------------------------------------------------// PLEASE READ *EDITED* Hey guys, this story's going to be on a short hiatus for about 3-7 days.

I have to leave this story for a little while. Probably until the end of September. I just have so much going on right now that I can't focus on writing MPATL.
