In the outskirts of Appleloosa, the residents were having a big party. A short distance away from the town, a man in a cowboy hat and poncho with a rubber chicken in his holster.
“Well Boneless, looks like our work here is done,” He walked away and continued in his deep voice, “Yeah, those guys never partied so hard thanks to me. Cheese. Cheese Sandwich.”
Cheese then started to have a strange sensation in his body, causing his hat to fly off until he jumped up in excitement. “Woohoo! That was a doozy.”
As he put it back on, he remarked, “Well Boneless, looks like our next destination gonna be in Canterlot.”
On a bright, sunny morning, Mind Tempo was at the park, observing some banana slugs on a pile of bananas on a plate.
He contemplated in third person, “Mind Tempo is about to witness the rare, once-every-three-years mating ritual of the Canterlot banana slug.”
Tempo played the radio and observed the two banana slugs meeting each other from his magnifying glass until his phone vibrated. The text said, “It’s time.”
“Gotta go.” Mind Tempo said and he ran off.
As for Diamond Glow, he was having a picnic date with Blueberry Cake. She said, “And for dessert... I thought we could...”
The two were going to kiss until his phone vibrated, stopping their moment. Diamond Glow looked at his phone and told her, “Maybe next time.”
Diamond ran away as Tempo followed his friend while stepping over Blueberry’s picnic area, alerting Diamond, “It’s time, it’s time Diamond.” Blueberry Cake became upset after that.
Meanwhile in the food court of the mall, Cloudburst was going to have a delicious meal of corndogs until he got the text and ran away, leaving the corndogs behind.
“Oh, it’s so time!” Cloudburst exclaimed.
Minutes later, the boys bursted through the door to Tempo’s house next to the mall and sat around the table with Beryl Fury waiting and standing still.
Beryl announced, “Gentlemen, it is time to find out who will be crowned the next sir high King Lord of,” He presented them a custom-made crown made out of arts and crafts props with the words ‘KP’ on it, “... the Pranks.”
The boys looked at the crowd with awe, dreaming that they will be crowned as the King of Pranks for this year.
“The time of pranks is upon us.” Mind Tempo said.
“And as last year's victor, I must now let all yee competitors challenge me for yonder crown.” Beryl announced with a knightly accent.
Cloudburst sighed, “Ahh, it seems like it was just yesterday that we made that crown in our art class back in Vanhoover when we were kids.”
Beryl brought out the rulebook and put it on the table. Diamond reminded them, “The rules are simple. ‘If ye is pranked, ye is out.’ The last man to go unpranked becomes Lord High King, and wins the crown.” He said before Beryl pointed himself.
Suddenly, Virtue, Mind Tempo’s appeared under the table and told them, “And this year, I am playing.”
“Playing? This isn’t a game, Virtue.” Cloudburst told her.
“You’re too young and too girl.” Diamond added.
Mind Tempo nodded and presented her the rulebook, “Yep. And no girl shall play, so sayeth Lord Prankerton’s Book of Rule.”
Sweet Bolt told the boys, “Guys, you made this whole thing up in middle school, and that’s a picture of Sir Neighsay.”
Diamond, Tempo, and Cloudburst shouted in unison, pointing fingers at Virtue, “Blasphemy!”
Tempo gave her advice, “Sis, this competition can get very ugly, and if you get hurt, mom will kill me.”
“This is not over.”
“Very well. Each competitor gets two hours to prepare for the pranking commences at,” The boys looked at the clock until Beryl finished, “Noon.”
The boys ran to the door except Tempo. He told them, “Oh you know what? You guys go on ahead. I've got to call my grandma.”
“Your loss,” Cloudburst said while Diamond and Beryl shrugged before they exited his house.
After they were gone, Tempo smirked and contemplated, “And by "grandma," I mean "I will be the Lord of the Pranks."”
Meanwhile at Golden Rock Records, Shelly Shores march towards her manager and told him, “The guys are late and they're not picking up their phones.”
“Oh, that's 'cause I gave them a day off for pranking,” Golden Rock answered.
“WHAT? We've got a ton of work to do.”
Golden Rock put down his music magazine and told her, “Shelly…pranks are a rite of passage for the young male.”
“Really? I can't wait to not hear anymore of this story!”
“Fine, now please be useful and get me some sugar for my coffee,” Golden Rock ordered, tapping the lid of his cup.
Shelly gave an "ugh" look and turned around.
“Thank you.”
The assistant manager walked over to the cupboard, put her papers down and opened the door only to have lots of sugar packets falling on her. Golden Rock watched in amusement as she falls to the floor.
“The sugar packet pile-on, a Golden Rock classic.”
Shelly stood up and spat out the packets from her mouth.
“You got pranked,” Golden Rock pointed at her while Shelly glared at him.
Meanwhile at Tempo’s house, Mind Tempo was planning his strategy to prank his buds with some experiments: two cups of smoothies, straws, scissors, and a balloon filled up with a substance.
“When the guys return at noon, they'll seek refreshment. They'll see my free smoothies, but what they don't know is that in each smoothie is a balloon with 120 pounds of pure nitrous oxide pressure. Then they'll pick up the needle-sharpened straw, push the straw down into the smoothie, and then boom the crown will be mine.”
He experimented his prank until it backfired on him, splattering Tempo with the smoothie and pure nitrous oxide from the smoothie.
“AHH! AHHH! AHHH! AHH!” He screamed in pain.
Then, his mother heard his son screaming and ran by to check on him. “Is this about that the stupid crown you guys made in middle school?”
“I can't see! I can't see! I can't see!” He cried in pain.
His mother sighed, “Come on. I'll take you to the doctor.”
Meanwhile, the rest of Mind Tempo’s friends carried some items for their pranks while a cockroach was watching them from the shadows.
Diamond Glow commented, “Bear suit, interesting.”
Cloudburst said, disguised in his bear suit, “The crown will be mine!”
Then all of a sudden, the boys were stopped by Virtue along with Watermelody and Shining Star, crossing their arms.
“What's this about girls not being good at pranks?” Watermelody and Shining Star questioned in unison while Virtue twiddled her fingers.
“We never said that,” Beryl said as the bear waved "hello". “I just said it could get ugly, and girls could get hurt.”
Then, the Rainbooms showed up after hearing their conversation, crossing their arms. Rainbow asked, “So you're saying girls are not as tough as guys?” Shining Star pointed out.
“Heh, have you seen the bear standing next to me?” Diamond Glow chuckled. “This competition gets scary.”
Cloudburst, disguised as a bear, pretended to act scary while the girls were not intimidated by it.
Fluttershy stated, “We all know that's Cloudburst. Also, that's insulting to my bear friend, Harry.”
“Sounds to me like you guys are scared of getting your butts kicked by a bunch of girls,” Applejack stated.
The boys gasped, “Nah uh!”
“Yeah huh!” Rainbow countered. “You know we'll win because we're better at pranking than you!”
“Lies and deceit!” Diamond said.
“Baloney and hogwash!” Twilight argued.
“We are not scared of losing to you girls!” Beryl stated.
“Then prove it!” Sunset snapped her fingers and some more girls showed up on their side: The CMC, Trixie, Lyra and Bon Bon.
“Boys vs. Girls!” Shining Star proclaimed.
The three boys were surprised by the number of girls on Virtue’s side as Cloudburst took off the head of his bear suit. “What, sixteen against four? Yeah, that's fair.”
The girls smiled until more boys showed up on FTR’s side: The Diamond Dogs, Flash Sentry, Sandalwood, Micro Chips, Timber Spruce, Big Mac, Zephyr Breeze, Spike, Snips and Snails. The rest of FTR’s team said in unison, “We're in.”
Twilight became surprised and said, “WHAT? Spike, get back here on our side.”
“Not a chance, Twi. Because today, I will be the first dog to win this prank competition.”
“Fine. Have it your way,” Twilight sighed.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen…” Diamond Glow counted the number of men on their team until, “Hey, you know, we're still one short.” Diamond informed Beryl until Feather Bangs entered the room.
“I'm in too.” Feather Bangs said while Cloudburst put the bear head back on.
Beryl was surprised to see his rival and Feather told him, “What? I don't like you, but I will defend my gender.”
“Boom!” Cloudburst said and fist bumped Feather Bangs.
“So be it. As reigning Sir High King Lord of the Pranks, I now declare this a megapranketition,” Beryl announced and everyone cheered until the clock chimed at noon. “Bug out!” Beryl signaled and everyone spread out until the Diamond Dogs fell on the floor together by having their shoelaces tied together.
FTR saw what happened and the prank was pulled of by the CMC. The rest of the Rainbooms stood beside them and they were impressed.
“Laces tied together, classic,” Scootaloo smiled.
Applejack said, “So, that's three boys down…”
“And three to go,” Rainbow finished her sentence while FTR were scared.
The girls spooked them in unison, “Boo.”
Fun Time Rush dropped their stuff and retreated to find cover while the cockroach followed them.
“Don't worry!” Rainbow called. “When we beat you guys, we won't totally rub it in your faces!”
“Too much!” Applejack finished.
“Come on, girls,” Sunset said in determination. “Let's show those boys who the superior pranksters are!”
“Yeah!” The girl's all cheered and ran off to do their pranks.
“Yeah...” Pinkie said, unenthusiastically. She liked pulling pranks, but she didn't really like this whole prank war idea.
Meanwhile, in New York City, the Ninja Turtles, Casey, and April were watching everything through Donnie’s Spy-Roach.
Leo scoffed, “Can you believe these guys? Starting a prank war over something so petty.”
“I know... I'm rooting for the boy's squad. Woohoo!” Mikey cheered.
“Same here, dude.” Casey added and high-fived Mikey while Leo and the rest gave them a glare.
“I never thought the Rainbooms would so easily be offended by something like that,” April sighed.
Raph told her, “Come on April, they're just defending their honour. Let them have this fight.”
April replied, “Okay... but only to support our friends.”
While Fun Time Rush ran back to Tempo’s house, Donnie checked footage of Mind Tempo's prank backfiring on him.
Donnie informed everyone, “Well, the boys are already down another one member.”
“I'll go get the popcorn,” Mikey announced and went to get some popcorn.
Meanwhile, Tempo was at the patient room with the doctor as he unwrapped the bandages around Tempo’s head, covering his eyes.
The doctor told him, “There, all better.”
However, it was not better as Tempo opened his eyes and his eyesight became pink.
Tempo freaked out, “Ahhh, everything looks pink.”
“Don't worry, I can fix this. 'Cause I'm a doctor.” The doctor took the eyedrops from his back pocket and gave them to Tempo.
Tempo opened his eyes and his eyesight became blue. He groaned, “Ahhhh, now everything looks blue!”
“Well, what color do you want?”
“Oh, I don't know, ALL OF THEM?!?!?!” Tempo answered angrily.
The doctor sighed and went to look for another vial of eyedrops in the room until he realized he had another one in his lab coat and grabbed it from the right pocket. He gave it to Tempo again and Tempo’s eyesight was back to normal.
Tempo smiled, “Oh, there we go.”
“Better?” The doctor asked.
“Yep, much better.”
The doctor put his hand on his patient’s shoulder and told him, “Okay, bye.”
Tempo felt something was off and questioned him, “Aren't you gonna prescribe me some saline drops to soothe my itchy and irritating eyes?”
“Tempo, have you ever thought of becoming a doctor, because you look and talk like a doctor,” The doctor crossed his arms.
Gloria entered the patient room and chimed in, “Oh, he's always wanted to be a doctor.” The two men turned their attention to her, “But more importantly, did you know that a daily 20-minute walk increases weight loss, eyesight, and mutant powers?”
They understood Gloria while she went to grab some more magazines until the Diamond Dogs entered the room with their shoelaces tied together. The trio said, “We have first-degree rug burns.”
“Ooh, I got just the thing,” The doctor said while Tempo gave them a thumbs-up. The doctor grabbed an electric saw and turned it on, making the Diamond Dogs looked scared.
“Woah!” Tempo got up and stopped the doctor, turning off the electric saw. “Shouldn't we just untie them and give them some topical cream for the abrasions?”
“Yeah, that will work too,” The doctor sighed while the Diamond Dogs nervously nodded.
Back at Golden Rock Records, Golden was in his office and shouted, “Shelly, Filthy Rich is coming to get these contracts. Where is my pen?”
Shelly entered his office and answered, “Check the upper right hand drawer.”
Golden opened the drawer and his face was immediately splattered with powder while Shelly smirked.
“Well-played,” Golden said. “Let's end it now while it's even.”
“Agreed.”
The two shook hands and shook hands to avoid pranking each other.
Ten minutes later, the agreement did not last long and it was a mess in the hallway thanks to Golden and Shelly pranking each other… again. Shelly sat down on the couch, looking all messed up while Golden was wrapped in duct tape.
While Big T stood still, Filthy Rich was not happy with their childish pranks. Filthy Rich told them, “Here at my company, we have a strict no-pranking policy. Golden mumbled but his mouth was taped shut while Shelly looked worried.
Filthy Rich continued, “I can't understand you, Golden, because your mouth is taped shut.”
Golden Rock groaned.
“Which is why I'm going to stay here and help you stop your pranking ways,” Filthy Rich ordered while Golden and Shelly complained.
Meanwhile, Rarity was at the pool carrying a hair blower while Sweetie Belle carried a box full of marbles. Then, a female receptionist was sitting on her table of lip balms and signs said, “Free Samples!”
“Lip balm,” The receptionist announced. “Free liptastic samples?”
“Ooh, free samples,” Rarity dropped the hair blower and she went over to the table.
Sweetie Belle warned her, “Uh, Rarity. I'm not sure if this is a good idea to do that now.”
Rarity assured her, “Don't worry, Sweetie. Once my lips are fresh and clean, we'll resume our pranking duties.”
Sweetie rolled her eyes and Rarity put some lip balm on her lips while the receptionist smiled. One minute later, Rarity’s lips were tight shut and she couldn't speak at all, making her panic. Sweetie Belle ran up to her and asked, “Big sis, what's wrong?”
Rarity pointed her fingers at her lips, telling her sister that she cannot speak.
Diamond and Beryl popped up from the table and Diamond said, “Ohh, did someone put fake labels on glue sticks?”
Rarity covered her mouth in shock while Beryl continued, “Yeah, nontoxic, of course.”
The female receptionist laughed and stood up until the mask off, revealing to be a disguise worn by Cloudburst.
Cloudburst warned the two girls, “Ha! We warned you this could get ugly.”
“MMPH!” Rarity grumbled and stomped his way out of the pool.
Sweetie Belle told the boys, “This is SO far from over. I'm taking Rarity to the hospital.”
After Sweetie Belle exited the building, the FTR boys high-fived to each other until Cranky entered, covered with toilet paper.
FTR looked in horror as Cranky interrogated them, “Why is my front yard covered in toilet paper and my butt covered in eggs?”
Beryl immediately answered, “We have no idea, Mr. Cranky Doodle, sir.” The boys chuckled and said, “Bye.”
They ran off quickly while Mr. Cranky said, “I know you're up to something.”
While Rarity and Sweetie were heading to the hospital, Zephyr stopped by and said, “Whoa, you got pranked…” He played his guitar and sang.
[Zephyr Breeze]
You got pranked
You got pranked
(Rarity and Sweetie Belle crossed their arms, looking angry.)
You got P-R-A-N-K…
Back at New York, the Ninjas watched Rarity smashed Zephyr Breeze on the head with his guitar.
The gang winced, “Ooooooh!”
“That's gotta hurt, yo.”
Minutes later at the hospital, Zephyr got his head stuck on his guitar.
“I think I can solve this problem,” The doctor adjusted Zephyr’s guitar and strummed the strings. “Perfectly tuned.”
Tempo and Zephyr were perplexed by the doctor’s decision. He suggested the doc, “Uh, don't you think we should unwind the strings and remove the guitar from his head?”
Zephyr nodded and the doctor told Tempo, “Tempo, you have a gift. How would you like to stay and be my assistant for the day?”
“That’s great, but I don't have a medical license,” Tempo answered.
The doctor shrugged, “Then I'll deputize you.” He grabbed a lab coat and a stethoscope for Tempo to put on. “You are now a deputy doctor.”
Tempo exited the room and Gloria was still in the waiting room reading tons of magazines. He called her, “Hey mom, do you mind staying here for awhile?”
“Are you kidding? I am in magazine heaven. I just learned how to give my feet a facial,” Gloria showed her son her foot covered in cream and slices of cucumber between her toes.
“Hmm. Good for you, mom. See you in a bit,” Tempo went back to help the doctor while his mother resumed reading magazines.
While Golden and Shelly crossed their arms feeling angry, Filthy Rich sat on Golden’s chair in the desk of Golden Rock’s office to teach Golden and Shelly a lesson while Big T watched.
“Because you have no respect for each other's jobs, I'm recommending the role reversal method, the classic corporate exercise that teaches mutual respect.”
Shelly commented, “So I have to do all day is write songs with the word "girl" in it and scream a lot?”
Golden replied, “Oh, yeah, well, I don't even know what she does.”
“I DO THIS!” Shelly slapped Golden on the backside of his head.
“Ohh, no, you didn't!” Golden said and the two argued again.
Filthy Rich had enough of their bickering and said, “Mandatory. The role reversal is now mandatory.”
Shelly and Golden stopped and decided to role with the rule.
“Fine,” Golden took Shelly’s binder and continued in a weird girly voice, “Oh, Golden, Filthy Rich wants his demos now. And blah, blah, blah, blah.”
While Filthy smiled, felling satisfied with his rule, Shelly took Golden’s shades and acted pretty bossy. She demanded, “Shelly, go get the dogs. I've got work to do.”
“AHHHHH/BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!” The two shouted at each other’s faces.
“See? Isn't this better?” Filthy Rich smiled while Golden and Shelly were not pleased with the rule.
Meanwhile at the hallway of the community center, Watermelody, Virtue, and Shining Star set up a catapult with a big piece of creamy pie on it and a hidden wire. Plus, Donnie’s Spy-Roach was watching them.
Virtue explained their trap, “The Pie-A-Pult. The guys get off the elevator to rush the apartment for shelter…”
Star continued, “They'll trip on the wire and get a face full of creamy defeat.”
Watermelody laughed, “Boys are stupid.”
Raph commented, “What? How dare she called us stupid.”
Leo told him, “Raph, relax. It's just a contest.”
“And I'm pretty sure she was talking about Fun Time Rush,” April added.
Donnie observed, “I have to admit, that is a pretty clever trap.”
As they all high-fived to each other, FTR used a mirror attached to a hockey stick to spy on the girls.
Beryl whispered, “The Pie-A-Pult? That is stupid.”
“Brilliant,” Diamond commented.
“I know,” Beryl agreed.
Cloudburst suggested, “Okay, but now we turn the tables on them, and then the prankers become the prankies. Let's go.”
Diamond and Beryl agreed with all their friend’s idea and they left their hiding spot.
With the trap set in place, Virtue stated, “Now all we have to do is hide and watch the show.”
“Boo!” FTR suddenly surprised the girls, making Watermelody hit the wire and the catapult launched the creamy pie onto her face.
“Gotcha!” Cloudburst laughed.
The boys celebrated until Watermelody started crying and ran away. Virtue and Star turned their attention to FTR, glaring at them.
Cloudburst reminded the girls, “Hey, we told you that pranking was dangerous.”
Star furiously suggested, “Well, does your Lord Prankerton say you're not allowed to make sure someone is okay?”
Diamond sighed, “No, he does. It's called the Tempo Amendment.”
“Let's go,” Beryl said and FTR left the area.
“Now that is just harsh,” April commented while watching TV.
Karai replied, “Well, it is what it is. I just hope their contest ends with a pity party.”
Donnie’s Spy-Roach and FTR arrived at the park to find Watermelody until they found her sobbing on the bench.
“Watermelody, are you okay?” Beryl asked her.
However, Watermelody’s sobs turned into laughs, fooling FTR into thinking that she was hurt by their little stunt.
FTR backed away and Diamond alerted them, “She stopped crying.”
Watermelody stood up and explained, “It was my idea to sacrifice one of us so we could take out all of you.”
“Wow, she really planned this out before she got eliminated. Impressive.” Shini nodded with a satisfied look on her face.
Mikey cried, “Yeah, but FTR is about to get a pie on their faces. Look!”
The Ninjas continued watching the television as Virtue and Shining Star showed up with pies on their hands. Then, FTR were surrounded by Lyra, Bon Bon, CMC, and the rest of the Rainbooms with pies on their hands as well.
“Yep…” Cloudburst said.
FTR continued in unison, “We're doomed.”
FTR were surrounded by a squad of girls led by Virtue at the park.
Shining Star commented, “They look so cute when all hope is lost.”
“Ready, aim…” Virtue and her team were ready to fire until Golden Rock arrived.
“Dogs! I am Shelly today. Long story. So uh… studio, now.”
“Fire!” Virtue signaled.
FTR shouted, “Human shield!”
“What?” Golden wondered until Virtue threw a pie at him on the face.
From left to right, Golden kept getting hit by a bunch of pies thanks to the girl team while Donnie’s Spy-Roach watched the action unfold.
Back at the Turtle Lair, the Ninjas continued watching the prank war.
Mikey commented, “Very clever, yo.”
April smacked Mikey upside the head, “No, that was harsh. I kinda feel bad for Golden though.
“Plus, I'm confused. Why is he "Shelly" for some reason?” Raph asked.
Donnie answered, “Maybe Shelly's taking a day off. I guess.”
The rest of the Ninjas nodded and understood him. Then, Angel, Carter, Buffy, Keno, Caitlyn and Zack entered the Turtle Lair.
“Hi guys. Whatcha doing?” Zack asked.
Mikey answered, “Watching a prank battle.”
“A prank battle? Really?” Caitlyn said.
Leo nonchalantly replied, “Yep.”
After it was over, Golden Rock was a mess and the boy band were clean as a whistle.
Diamond thanked Golden, “Hey, thanks again for the day off for pranking, Golden.”
“I'm Shelly,” Golden reminded them until he fainted.
The FTR boys nervously waved at the girls and retreated from the park immediately.
Watermelody, Sunset, Virtue, and Shining Star said in unison, “So close.”
While the girls were upset that FTR got away, Snips and Snails were carrying a small box labeled, "[Warning] Skunk."
“Are you sure this is a good idea to prank the girls with this skunk, Snails?” Snips asked.
Snails answered, “Don't worry, buddy. They won't expect it before they know it. Besides, what's the worst that can happen.”
Snips stepped on a twig, triggering a sound, and the girls turned around to see Snips and Snails carrying a box with a skunk inside.
Virtue commented, “Well, maybe it's not a total loss.”
Fluttershy gasped, “They're planning to use a skunk on us. That is so low coming from you two.”
Snails sheepishly greeted them, “Uhhhh, hi girls.”
“H-how are you all doing today?” Snips asked as he and Snips nervously smiled, sweating.
All the girls except Pinkie threw pies at the two boys and paid for it, falling down on the ground.
“Bug out!” Virtue shouted and the rest of the girls spread out, leaving the park.
While the Rainbooms were ready to leave, Sunset couldn't help but notice that Pinkie was feeling a bit sad.
“What's wrong, Pinkie?” Sunset asked.
Pinkie sadly explained, “Well… I appreciate that we're working together as a team, but… I can't do this anymore.”
“WHAT?!” The Rainbooms said in unison, feeling surprised.
“But why?” Sunset questioned her motive.
“Well, it's just that I love to pull pranks for fun, not to prove who's superior.”
Twilight replied, “Oh c'mon, Pinkie. FTR insulted us that we're not tough enough to beat them in their own game. Plus, they defeated Rarity earlier.”
Rainbow agreed, “I agree, which is why we are going to beat the boys together and rub it in their faces. Then later on, it's every girl for themselves.”
“Oh ho ho, those boys are SO going down!” Sunset added.
“Let's do this!” Rainbow shouted as the rest of her friends nodded except Pinkie.
“Yay!” Fluttershy softly cheered while the rest of the Rainbooms were leaving and Fluttershy picked up a box with a skunk inside and informed them, “I'm going to return this as well.”
Pinkie announced, “Um, you girls go on ahead without me. I'm going to get some ice cream and need some to think.”
“Okay, be careful,” Sunset reminded her before she and the rest of the Rainbooms exited the park.
Pinkie sat down on the bench and felt upset about the prank war while eating a cupcake from her back pocket. Then, Cheese Sandwich arrived at the park and saw Pinkie feeling sad.
“Looks like you're not a happy mood today. Your name's Pinkie Pie, right? We go to CHS together.”
Pinkie looked up to see Cheese Sandwich with a smile on his face. She replied, “Yeah. I guess you can say I'm feeling under the weather today.”
“Talk to me. What's the matter?” Cheese asked her.
“I started to like the idea of the prank contest that Fun Time Rush started and I thought it was fun. But, it turned into an all-out war between boys and girls. I just don't like doing things that are about who is superior than the rest. I just want the contest to be fun and show them how to prank for fun.”
Cheese understood her situation and decided, “I see. In that case, how about we team up and show them the true meaning of pranking.”
“Yeah, I like the sound of that. Let's shake on it. Pinkie promise?” Pinkie offered him.
“Pinkie promise,” Cheese replied and the two shook hands.
The two party goers vowed in unison, “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”
Minutes later, Snips and Snails were in the patient room at the hospital, covered in creamy pie.
“Everything sounds like pie!” Snips and Snails hollered.
The doctor understood them and replied, “I can fix this, but you may feel a small pinch.” He grabbed the surgical saw again and turned it on, making Snips and Snails scared.
“No surgical saw, doc. Okay?” Tempo hollered, stopping the doctor.
“Tempo, I got that thing two days ago, and I'd like to use it.” The doctor complained.
Tempo grabbed a cotton swab and informed the two boys, “Just clean your ear with moist cotton swabs, and sleep on your right side tonight to drain any excess fluid, okay?”
Snips responded, “Thank you, Tempo.”
Snails added, “You're the best doc, Tempo.”
While Tempo smiled, the doctor informed him, “Tempo, I'm writing you a prescription for 100 cc's of you need to focus on becoming a doctor. Now.”
After the doctor gave him the prescription, Tempo replied, “But I'm in a kind of band now.”
“Being a doctor is just like being in a band. There's cool cars, hot chicks, but instead of a microphone, you're holding life and death in your hands. Think about it.” Tempo gave some time to think about the doctor’s statement, but the doctor said, “Okay. That's enough thinking. Bring me the next patient.”
Tempo exited the room to call in the next patient.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy went to the Everfree Forest at Everfree Camp. She set the box down and as she opened it, confetti was splattered onto her. Fluttershy then heard Pinkie giggling behind her. “Well played, Pinkie.”
Pinkie replied, “Thanks, Fluttershy.”
“So, where's the skunk?” Fluttershy asked.
“I got it right here,” Cheese Sandwich answered with his gas mask on, bringing the actual box with the skunk inside. “Here you go.”
Fluttershy received the box and thanked him, “Thank you, Cheese. I wish you two luck.”
“Thanks!” Pinkie cheered.
“And you're welcome, Fluttershy,” Cheese added.
The two pranksters exited Everfree Camp and Cheese asked, “So, who's next on our list?”
Pinkie smirked, thinking of who will be next on their list. One by one, some of the participants fell into their traps in a fun way.
Meanwhile at the community center, FTR were hiding behind the reception desk as Lyra, Bon Bon, and Trixie were searching for them and the other boys with fishnets and pies on their hands.
After the girls left, FTR peered out and Beryl informed them, “Okay, according to my calculations, there are eight girls left and ten guys left. Us, Feather, Flash, and Spike.”
Suddenly, they heard Spike screaming and saw him flying straight to the pool.
“Okay, now it's just us, Feather, and Flash.” Diamond said and the boy band hid behind the desk again.
“I'm freaking out. These girls are way too powerful!” Cloudburst panicked.
“Look, we've got to split up. We are too big of a target together. After we take out the girls, I look forward to our manly battle together. Good luck,” Beryl and his buds put their fingers on their noses. “Knights of Prankdom.”
They saluted and Cloudburst signaled, “Move out.”
FTR split up as Beryl went outside while Diamond and Cloudburst ran to the door to the janitor’s room.
Diamond suggested, “Or, we let Beryl prank all the girls himself while we lay low and stay unpranked.”
“That's just what I was thinking,” Cloudburst agreed.
They both went inside the janitor’s room, but it was dark. Cloudburst turned on the lights until he and Diamond screamed, “Ahhh!”
They were cornered by Applejack and Rainbow with their seltzer canisters.
Applejack told them, “Well, well, well, looks like you boys fell into our trap.”
Rainbow continued, “We take you out now and battle Beryl for the crown later, 'cause you fell into our seltzer trap.”
The girls laughed until Cloudburst told them, “You mean, you just fell right into the… rope snare.” Cloudburst and Diamond grabbed the ropes and the girls noticed that their feet were inside the rope.
“Touché, boys,” Rainbow commented.
Diamond replied, “Right back at ya, girls. And maybe after this, you girls wanna hang out at the mall?”
The cowgirl answered, “In your dreams, lover boy.”
The four teens stood still, preparing to find out who will activate the trap first.
In the pool area, Feather Bangs remained vigilant and looked around with a whoopee cushion on each hand until he was pulled inside a tent by Mr. Cranky.
“What's going on here? I want answers now.” Mr. Cranky interrogated him.
“I'm not telling you anything. I'm bound by Lord Prankerton's code of silence,” Feather answered.
Mr. Cranky sighed, “I'll give you no homework in my class for the rest of the school year.”
Feather confessed, “It was all Beryl's fault! He's the Lord High King, and he forced us all into a prank war, and they'll keep pranking until one of us is left.”
Mr. Cranky pushed Feather to a chair and fell into his trap by a whoopee cushion of his own. He smirked as Feather realized he was out, “You pranked me. I'm out.”
“Nobody messes with me when I'm around in this city,” Mr. Cranky put on his shades, gloves, and bandana until he exited the pool area.
Back at the studio, Shelly was playing the piano to practice her song and she sang horribly. Golden entered with the remains of the pie residue on him and brought a cup of coffee.
She noticed Golden and he told her, “Yeah, so the dogs aren't available today.”
Shelly angrily told him, “See how hard my job is, unlike yours…” She mocked him while playing the piano, “Which is so easy.” Golden scoffed as Shelly continued, “Where's my coffee?”
Golden handed the cup of coffee to Shelly and looked at it. She replied, “This is the worst coffee ever.” She dropped it on purpose as Filthy Rich and Big T entered the room.
Filthy Rich agreed, “Yes, it is, but now it's song time.”
While Shelly looked nervous as Golden continued, “Yeah, let's hear your rockin' song, which is so easy to do.”
Shelly stretched her fingers and played the piano and sang her song horribly.
[Shelly Shores]
Girl, if I had you girl
Then we would be my girl
Golden, Filthy, and Big T cringed and they were not comfortable hearing Shelly sing as she continued.
And we'd go on a date
Ooh-ohh-ooh girl!
Golden hysterically laughed at her while Filthy and Big T shook it off from Shelly’s horrible song. He said, “That is the worst song I have ever heard in my life!”
Shelly stood up with rage in her eyes and punched Golden in the gut. She stated, “And you can't punch back because I'm a girl.”
“No, you're not,” Golden stood up. “You're Golden.”
Shelly realized her mistake, “Right.” Then, she had an idea. Shelly pretended to see Countess Coloratura and geeked out, “AHH! IT'S RARA!”
The men turned around, but Coloratura wasn't there while Shelly ran away immediately. The men looked back and Shelly was gone.
Meanwhile, Donnie’s Spy-Roach continued watching the action as the CMC were searching for FTR and Flash Sentry at the community center with their slingshots until they were caught in saran wrap.
Flash appeared alongside Beryl with his saran wrap. “Ha!”
“Nice one, dude!” Flash commented and high-fived Beryl.
After that, Lyra and Bon Bon each carried a box full of marbles at the mall on the second floor and went to the elevator. As the elevator door closed, a loud explosion boomed. Flash and Beryl waited on the first floor until the elevator opened and the two girls were covered in chicken feathers, leaving the boys smirking as Donnie’s Spy-Roach watched.
Donnie counted, “Well, that's four girls down and four to go.”
Back at the mall, Sunset called, “Looking for us?”
The two boys turned around to see Sunset and Shining Star with water guns in their hands.
“If the prank battle lasts beyond 2:00 p.m…” Flash said.
Star continued with the rulebook on her hand, “Any device capable of directly applying mess, slop, or pain counts as a prank.”
The girls armed themselves with water guns and Beryl remembered, “The Cloudburst Clause. He refused to skip lunch to play.”
Sunset continued, “And you two are caught empty-handed.”
Flash replied, “What can we say?”
The two boys held their hands up until they grabbed their own water guns from their backs and aimed them at the girls.
“It's rotten milk,” Flash said.
“Us too,” Sunset admitted.
Star commented, “It's kind of grossing me out.”
“I told you this battle would get nasty,” Beryl warned the girls.
While the two sides were ready to pull the trigger, Sunset and Flash were hit by the piece of jam and they’re out of the competition.
“Okay, who did that?” Raph wondered, watching the footage.
Mr. Cranky appeared behind the teens with a jar of jam and a spoon. Flash and Sunset finally realized that Mr. Cranky was the one who got them eliminated from the prank war.
“Wow. Didn't see that coming,” Mikey commented, watching the footage.
“Agreed,” Carter nodded.
“NOOOO!” Beryl shouted as Mr. Cranky threw a piece of jam at him, but Beryl ducked and the piece of jam hit Shining Star instead before she fell down.
Mr. Cranky vowed, “If the only way of ending this prank war is by pranking all of you out, then so be it.” Beryl rosed back up as Mr. Cranky continued, “What's the matter, Beryl? Looks like you're in… a jam.” He threw three more pieces of jam at Beryl and Beryl managed to dodge all three of them with his ninja reflexes. Mr. Cranky was out of jam ammo and panicked, “Darn it!”
As the teacher ran away, Beryl looked on to see Star on the ground. “Star,” He helped her get up.
“Is it… bad?” Star asked.
Beryl answered, “It's gonna leave a nasty stain on your shirt.”
“Ugh,” Star groaned as Beryl helped her get up. “If I don't pretreat this, I'll never get it out.”
“Same goes for us,” Sunset and Flash chimed in.
Beryl understood them and Star gave him a kiss on the cheek before. She said, “Good luck.”
Flash told Beryl, “I wish you luck, bro.”
“You're gonna need it,” Sunset added as she exited the mall with Flash and Shining Star.
Beryl smiled and grabbed the two water guns and cackled before exiting the mall.
Back at the hospital, Lyra and Bon Bon sneezed from the feathers until the doctor appeared with his surgical saw turned on. The girls look scared and Tempo stopped him. He said, “Okay! Enough with the saw!”
“Tempo, I paid good money for that and I lost the receipt, so I can't return it.” The doctor told him as he put the saw away.
“Well, I mean. They're having a reaction to the feathers,” Tempo told the doctor. He then informed the girls, “A shower with antibacterial soap and any antihistamine should do the trick.”
Lyra and Bon Bon thanked him together, “Thanks, Tempo.”
“Of course,” Tempo smiled as the two girls exited the room. He told the doctor, “This was, like, the best day of my life. I helped people fell better.”
The doctor was impressed and told him, “Tempo, I'm calling up my alma mater, the Canterlot Junior Medical Program,and I'm recommending you for immediate admission.”
“But um… what about the band?”
“You'll have to quit the band,” The doctor told him. “But what's more important to you, toe-tapping pop music or saving lives?”
Tempo took a deep breath and thought about the doctor’s question.
Back in the janitor’s room, Cloudburst, Diamond Glow, Applejack, and Rainbow yawned, feeling tired from standing around and waiting for someone to pull the trigger. Cloudburst’s nose was feeling itchy and he was fingertips away from the tissue box, but the girls immediately noticed him.
“Whoa, not so fast!” Rainbow told him.
Cloudburst explained, “I'm just gonna reach for a tissue, so I can blow my nose.”
Applejack nodded, “Yeah, I guess that's understandable.”
Diamond sighed in relief until Cloudburst immediately turned off the lights and the scuffle ensued in the dark. Half a minute later, the lights were back on and the teens switched traps. Cloudburst and Diamond had the seltzer trap while Rainbow and Applejack had the rope snare trap.
They all shouted, “The crown will be mine!”
Virtue opened the air vent above them and sprayed them with silly string. She told them, “Sorry fellas, but that crown will be mine. Hey, can I borrow that seltzer?”
“Take it,” Cloudburst passed the seltzer to Virtue and she caught it.
“Good luck,” Rainbow told her.
“Thanks,” Virtue said before going back.
After she left, the teens got rid of the silly string attached to them and exited the room. Virtue continued crawling in the air vents and planned out her next move. “All I have to do now is eliminate Beryl and I will become Queen of the Pranks!” However, she immediately got splattered by confetti and Virtue looked to her right to see Pinkie Pie with her confetti cannon. “Of course, I totally forgot about you.”
Pinkie apologized, “Sorry, Virtue. Just want to show you the fun way of pranking.” Virtue understood her and Pinkie continued, “Now let me help you find your way out of here.”
“Oh, thank you Pinkie,” Virtue said and followed Pinkie to the exit.
Back at the studio, Golden and Shelly resumed arguing, yelling, and fighting each other as Shelly held onto Golden like a leech while Filthy Rich laughed and Big T looked on from the amusement.
“Why are you laughing?” The two asked.
Filthy Rich answered while getting his coffee, “Oh, because there's no such thing as the role reversal method. I made it up.” The two were stunned that they were pranked by their own boss. Filthy Rich continued, “You got pranked. Ha!”
Shelly got off from Golden as he said, “You mean, none of this was real the whole time?”
Filthy Rich explained, “Oh, it was real… real funny. But I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere. Now, on to important matters. Where do you keep the sugar?”
Golden snapped his fingers and pointed his finger to Shelly. She answered, “In the cabinet.”
“Ah,” Filthy Rich understood as he put down his cup of coffee and opened the cabinet door only to have lots of sugar packets falling on him. Golden and Shelly smirked and fist bumped to each other, satisfied of how they paid their boss back. However, it did not last long and Shelly punched Golden in the face before leaving the studio.
Big T stood back and told them, “Don't prank me. I was just doing my job.”
Back at the hospital, Tempo and the doctor exited the patient room and all of the patients left.
The doctor told Tempo, “Well, it looks like all of our patients have been treated.”
Gloria came back and told them, “And I made homemade ice pops. I got the money-saving recipe from a magazine.”
She handed them ice pops, one for each, and the doctor told Tempo, “Remember what I said, Tempo, when you join our side.” The doctor took off the packaging of his ice pop and started eating it before leaving.
Tempo felt unease after going through a day of being a deputy doctor.
“What's that face for?” His mother asked.
“I have a great time today helping people, but I also have a great time singing, so what do I have to do? Do I stay in the band or do I become a doctor?”
“You know what, son? That's what's great about being a teenager. You don't have to decide right now.”
“Thanks, mom.” Tempo smiled and hugged his mother after that.
Back at the community center, Beryl arrived at the main hall and the rest of his friends were eliminated as Donnie’s Spy-Roach watched.
Beryl asked his pals, “Who got you?”
“Virtue did,” Diamond answered and Virtue arrived, covered in confetti, sat alongside with the girls.
Virtue answered, “Yeah, but it's Pinkie that you should be worry about.”
“Yoohoo!” Pinkie called with her confetti cannon and Beryl turned around to see her.
Beryl approached Pinkie near the desk, “So, looks like it's just you and me. Any last words before I retain my title?”
Pinkie smirked, “Yeah. You just fell into our trap.”
“Our?” Beryl wondered as his right foot was stuck by the sticky tape that looked like an "X" on the floor. He turned around and Cheese Sandwich used his paintball gun and shot pink paint on Beryl’s shirt.
Beryl was impressed and said, “Well done, you two. Lord Prankerton would be very proud of you, but the battle is not over.”
Mr. Cranky appeared from the desk and said, “Yes, it is! Because if either of you make another mess, I will pull off the ultimate prank. I will give you all Sunday detention.” The teens rolled their eyes as Mr. Cranky continued, “The war is over. Put down your weapons and once again, I win, and you are all losers.” Mr. Cranky laughed sinisterly as the teens looked disappointed.
Back at the Turtle Lair, the teens groaned in disappointment.
“Aww man. Is this how the prank war's gonna end?” Angel asked.
Leo replied, “Don't be so sure, Angel.”
However, Pinkie and Cheese had an idea with smirks on their faces and turned to their friends. Everyone nodded and the two pranksters fired their weapons at Mr. Cranky with confetti and paintball. Everyone laughed and cheered for Pinkie and Cheese.
Back at the Turtle Lair, the Ninjas laughed and watched Mr. Cranky ran away from embarrassment.
After that, Cloudburst stopped, “Wait, wait, wait, wait, who wins?”
Minutes later, the teens and Donnie’s Spy-Roach watched as Beryl and Shining Star put the crowns onto the winners of the annual prank war: Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie.
Watermelody smiled, “A tie. Nice.”
Mikey commented while watching the footage, “Pinkie and Cheese tied? Well that's a twist.”
Zack said, “So that means boys and girls tie as well.”
Caitlin replied, “The girls definitely would’ve won.”
“No way!” Zach fired back.
Leo stopped them, “Alright, that’s enough you two. We are not going into that direction.”
Keno admitted, “You know what, that was pretty fun to watch.”
Carter asked, “You think we could participate the prank contest next year?”
“Nope. Not a chance,” Buffy answered.
“I'll get them next year,” Mikey whispered. “Just you wait.”
Pinkie and Cheese saluted and everyone cheered. While the two walked off, FTR vowed in unison, “We'll get him next year.”
Then, their celebration was cut short as Mr. Cranky arrived with Principal Celestia.
Mr. Cranky told her, “There they are, Principal Celestia.”
All the boys and girls sheepishly smiled and chuckled, waving at the principal.
Later on, all the boys and girls were later sitting in detention thanks to Mr. Cranky reporting them to Principal Celestia like he said he would do. The angry teacher himself was watching them all, while still covered in the remains of Pinkie and Cheese’s prank.
After a moment, Virtue spoke up, “Well, it was worth it.”
