Gallus’s pov

Only one day before hearts and hooves day, Fast and I, we were in the courtyard talking quietly until ...

Fast asked me “Hey Gallus, you know who to ask to be your special somepony or somecreature for tomorrow”

I responded “Honestly yes, I will ask her today”

Fast said, “Me too, she is someone super cheerful…”

I said, “Mine likes everything new…”

Fast added “…Good moral companion…”

I added, “…I heard her family is from royalty…”

Fast added “…She always hugs me…”

And I got an idea “Hey how about we say at the same time to whom we will propose?”

Fast said “Sure! 1 …”

I continue “2 ...”

“Silverstream!” We said at the same time and we got a little upset

Fast said “Wait a second ... Why her? You have a better option like Ocellus”

And I responded to him “So you go and tell Smolder then”

And so we started to get mad at each other as if suddenly we became rivals

And Silverstream appeared and me and Fast stop frowning and started acting happily

“Hello!”- Silverstream said-“I heard you said my name, is everything all right between you guys?”

We blushed and I responded “Well, it's ...”

Fast interrupted me “If you had to choose between 2 things (or 2 creatures) Which would you choose?”

Silverstream responded “Hmmm good question, I think the one that would be better for me”

“And how would you decide who is the best?” I asked

Silverstream said, “Well, if it were between you 2 I would say what both are good and they told me that I would decide with ... a video game competition!”

“Huh?” We said

“Well, I got to go, I have classes now with Rarity,” Silverstream said noticing the time and flew to her class

Wich led me to Fast asked me “Since when are you gamer little blue?”

I said “I would also ask you the same”

Fast responded “You speak with the best ‘Melee’ player in Manehattan”

I responded to Fast “And you with the best in the ‘Last Fantasy’ of griffinstone”

“Well, let's do something, I could buy the new console called ‘horsetendo switch’ with its 5 games, after class, you and I will decide with each first level and see who completes them first. ?” Fast extended his hoove to Gallus

I took his hoof and shook “I try, may the best gamer wins, and it’s me”

Fast said “I like your sarcasm”

After classes, we met again to play the 5 games, and in my living quarter, the game began:

After several hours of playing each of them and keeping track of each one, we realized that by the end of the 4th game, it was the decisive one, in the last we had to wear our hats to go far, possess enemies until one of us place it in the final circle and win the game

After several, but several attempts, we failed to go as far as expected, and decided to give up at the same time

We both said at the same time “I give up!”

Fast asked “ugh! so now how will we know who will be with her?”

Twilight entered the room opening the door “I can help you”

Fast and I said “Headmare Twilight?”

Twilight said “Silverstream told me what was happening between you 2 and I decided to give you a hand”

Spike appeared behind her and added “And I will be your host”

Twilight said “You 2 are going to play those games again, but in each one, you must overcome a certain phase and achieve the objective better than the other, without advantage, or luck or wings or artifacts, only skill, and ingenuity, without turning back”

I said, “Well, if that's all we have to end this ...”

“…I guess we're going to do it,” Fast said

“Oh and I forget something,”- Twilight casts a spell that takes em and Fast inside the console –“They will do it inside the game”

The real competition has just begun

Fast Tap’s pov

Our first challenge was in the first game called "super paper adventures", on the first level or as it said: "Chapter 1-1 the adventure begins": the world first began to be created as if it were a drawing, first the base, the grass, the trees, shrubs and the background decoration that would be hills, then everything was colored, and a portal appears where Gallus and I fall out of it, and the first thing we notice is how we have changed, we looked very cartoony Suddenly Spike's voice is heard

Spike said as an announcer “Welcome to the games really! With your host Spike! For this afternoon our contestants are Fast and Gallus! They will face 5 challenges that are at each level! The first to win 3, is the winner!”

I said at the same time a dialogue comes out typing in it what Me and Gallus said, as like in that game “And what is our first challenge?”

Spike said “This is very simple, in all this level, in the end, is the star that is enclosed, just hitting under it, will release it, the first one who manages to release the star will win the round”

Gallus said and ran to the finish “then see you at the finish line!”

I ran next to him “Hey! Spike didn't count down!”

Spike said “And there they go”

Our first obstacle was a lot of blocks protecting a door, thanks to a block of coins that was close to it, we got on it and passed it, Gallus then saw a pipe and entered it, while I went on and found a house, was not locked or locked, so I went in, but there was nothing, but then I felt that my device began to shine and a colorful pointer came out in front of me, when I moved it around, and I revealed a door that was in the house , and I entered it and I met a magician who gave me a power to change dimension, maybe with that, I could enter the door before, so I went back to it, while Gallus just arrived at that house, I approaching the door, I use the power to change dimensions from 2D to 3D and that pile of blocks that protected it turned out to be in different positions, so use it in an exaggerated way to pass high pipes, long hills, to use the bottom to help to bequeathed to the other side of bottomless wells, but when I returned to the 2D dimension, Gallus was just waiting for me behind me when I tried to climb a pile of stacked blocks which were a little high

Gallus said while I was concentrated to go up in the blocks “Hi Fast, the magician told me the power he gave you, so he gave me another power, and by using it, you will no longer be a joke to me”

When he used his power, he began to grow and grow and become more pixelated, and just when I managed to climb those blocks and when I turned to look Gallus I was scared and started running behind me, presuming me, destroying every block or pipe that was like if it were a sword cutting toilet paper, and in the background, we could see it, that star locked up, since it was still in front of Gallus, I use it to run faster and when I hit the bottom part and the star starts to shine

The world turns white, and says in the background "Fast Complete the Chapter!"

Spike said “Wow! That was an EPIC ending, Someone clip all that”

Gallus said a little angry “It's not fair, you were supposed to be crushed!”

I added “The bigger you are, the slower you become”

Gallus adds “bah! anyway, you'll never beat me in the following”

I said before a song started “was that a challenge?”

“this has just begun! WOO!”

The next round is in "Karting Blast" and our goal was very clear, hit the other 3 times on a battlefield, our objects to attack were on square floors with a question mark, just bypassing one, they gave you a remote missile to give to the other ...

I sang first:

“Here it is not really necessary

to aim on this match, just shoot at his face

Gallus get ready that a good one will come

BUT WHAT THE HAY!”

Gallus responded:

“You always forget about the techniques

There are thousands of ways to avoid the missiles

But bad luck that you don't know any

So anyway!”

I continued:

“What I have is just speed

To flee the missiles that go against me

What kind of advantage is running

When what do you have to ...? I already know how to give back this”

Gallus continued:

“I already won this game!”

I said:

“Not in my watch!”

“Or celestia give me a chance

Please please please

So that in one of these

Return them to the bird

I really love that girl”

Gallus sang:

“It was time to win my point

And return to the game

I already feel the victory every time”

Spike said when the game finished:

“Gallus Win this round!”

The following was simple: “5Hours of Robots” where we had to protect ourselves from future killer robots, our goal is to survive longer than the other, the one that followed was “freedom hedgehog” that was to beat the boss

I sang:

“What happen to the energy?

I can't see nothing

And why that very music box?”

Gallus said:

“It means you're going to win 3 2 1…”

Then a robot jumpscared me and I screamed like a little girl and Spike said “Gallus wins again!”

Gallus sang:

“I just have to win this latter

I already feel that this is going to end

And with a very fast motorcycle ...

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!”

I responded:

“Now I have the best

Have the power of a big boost

Very difficult that he will the game

See you at the finish line!”

Gallus sang:

“My only power in this game

It is to glide and ride a motorcycle

While Fast is given the ability

Super speed, how will I win?”

I sang: “Time to make the comeback!”

Gallus adds: “Find the way!”

I added: “I feel that the boss is here!

And it gets better!”

Gallus sang: “Please, I need some help!

Please please please

For Fast, do not complete the final

Lose a life!”

I sang: “It is already impossible for you to reach me now

And the boss is already all mine”

Gallus said appearing to fight the boss too: “NOT IN MY GUARD!”

We both sang: “Please let another be defeated!

Please please please

She really is a good friend.

And I want to spend it with her”

Spike sang for the last: “With all these lasers and missiles that shoot

I don't know who will win

But it seems that Fast will achieve

And Fast Win the round!”

Me and Gallus sang: “It seems that we return here

The end

Our end

The one who we ...

Never beat

May the best win!”

Spike said on the last game “You 2 have done very well during these 4 rounds, but here comes the tiebreaker in this game: ‘Oddysey’ You will pass this lethal obstacle course, full of lava, missiles and rocks that fall on top of you, your only help will be our caps, which will help them to go far or possess enemies, the one who places his cap on the lamppost and leaves the level is the one who will win the claw of Silverstream! 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... NOW!”

We ran to the first obstacle, a great wall which has lava under it “Here ends your luck Gallus! See you!” I made a triple jump, but it is not enough to reach the top and I fell into the lava and reappeared at the start of the level

Gallus stopped right next to the lava “Pffft, I have wings, I can with this” Spreads his wings, jumped trying to fly, but fells into the lava too and reappeared in the beginning too

I responded to what he did “We can’t use our wings, or artifacts ... ugh it seems that we are trapped here until one arrives which is more difficult”

A couple of attempts after finding a way to climb the wall were useless until I tried to jump high throw my cap and land on it so that it drives me and can happen, but I could not even accurately ...

Gallus said sit on the floor “Ok ... I give up”

I added, “Me too ...”

After a while of silence

I said breaking it “If we are going to be here the rest of our lives, it is time to confess things right? Why did you want to be with Silverstream?”

Gallus responded, “it's a secret ...”

I said “Well I will say first, Silverstream is someone who could consider her the best girl I had in life, is like that friend who helps you when you need it most and more in your difficult times”

Gallus said in low voice “… I never had one”

I asked “huh?”

Gallus said, “I was alone all my life, the faucets are much more grumpy than anyone believes, nor in the festivities they relax, when I entered the school of friendship, Silverstream was the one who wanted better than anyone in being what you said, is my best friend ...”

I responded to that “Wow ... I think that explains why you like her ... it seems we have something in common, we are orphans, without father and mother…”

Gallus asked, “And what about Twilight?”

I respond to that “She told me that I don't need a mother, so I'm alone”

Gallus said, “I guess the best thing is that we became brothers of each other right?”

I said hugging him “I think it's the best ... at least we will have a brother both”

Spike said looking all that “Wow, I saw everything and I think you understood the lesson, but who among you is going to be the winner?”

I responded, “For now, we have to finish what we started ... and I think I know how to do it, but I will need your help Gallus, let’s go, bro?”

Gallus said “Let’s go, bro”

The strategy was to make the triple jump, and throw the cap under the other, which would take an extra jump to jump the wall, so we did it and we achieved it, using that throughout the rest of the level we managed to reach a part where one of we had to have a giant bullet and break the next wall, so we decided to take turns, first Gallus after me, every time we approached and noticed that the level was strange, it was as if it was designed for two players to work as a team instead to compete with each other, so much that in one part we had to take different routes, and based on buttons we opened the way to the other, the enemies that appeared were not a problem with the 2 united winning one by one, and we had reached a part where one owned a large monster and the other guided him, so I possessed him and Gallus took me around the level until we both came to the lamppost. How were we going to do it together, suddenly it occurred to me to put both go together? We did and they became one, we grabbed the 2, and we placed it in it, which led us to get out of the level and leave this series of games, we left the console, and Twilight and Spike were waiting for us

Twilight said “You did it guys”

I said “To be honest, yes”

Twilight said “You have understood that you do not need to make a competition for something, you look better as a team, so in all games, you had different powers or advantages, and they are better if you combine”

Gallus responded “Wow, that was a good lesson headmare Twilight”

Spike said “Wait a second! If both won, who will ask you to be the Silverstream couple?”

Gallus and I saw each other with a sign that we knew what to do for it ...

When it was dark and Silverstream went to her bed we met her

Silverstream said “Fast and Gallus! Hoi! ...”

I responded, “Hello Silverstream, Gallus has something to tell you…”

Gallus said “Me? No, Fast has something to tell you…”

Silverstream giggled hugging Me and Gallus at the same time “I know what they are going to tell me and yes! I will be your couple of both!”

I and Gallus collided the hoove and the claw, as a sign that we achieved the 2

and so a brotherhood between a pony and a griffin was born

Admit it, the story was beautiful, but hey, the next gift he opened was of Silverstream, Velvet, and Riki which was a sports cap and a t-shirt with an American football ball

“wow this is ...” Fast says before Silverstream and Velvet tack Fast

The 3 giggles and Riki says “Hahaha, that was good, you're already part of our Chiefs fan team Fast”

Fast adds “Thank you, in fact, these clothes remind me of a very fun adventure”

Velvet claps happily “Yay another story!”

Author's Note

To be honest, I base this story on how knights fought for a princess, but with a better end

Talking about it, I wonder who can find out all the references about the videogames represented?
