So it begins.

After a couple of days in deep contemplation, the guys met in the middle of ponyville to settle their differences once and for all. To think that friends would turn rivals all because of a misunderstanding. It's amazing what can happen in just a week or two. Hackalot and Pokeblox discussed how they were going to settle things as far as their love for Fluttershy goes.

Ok Pokeblox. I'm here. I'm going to fight for Fluttershy if it's the last thing I ever do

Believe me...it WILL be the last thing you ever do when I'm done with ya.

So how are we doing this?[

Oh my gosh are you that stupid? Didn't you read the note from the author in the last chapter? He said we're going to do a series of challenges based off of what Fluttershy looks for in a guy. Then the readers will get to decide who wins in both the comments and on twitter! Geez you'd think you'd know this by now.

Sorry...I didn't get the chance to see the chapter where you take shots at me.

Well you should! You should know what I said about you! Believe me that this will be so much fun, even Pinkie Pie took time out of taking bets for the Rainbow Dash V Spike battle to take bets to see who's going to win!

That's right! I'm ready to rock and roll! Who's ready to see a battle of friends turned rivals for the heart of the fair fluttershy?!

[The Whole Town]: WE DO!!! *cheers*

The whole town was ready to see a battle for the ages...so without hesitation the guys looked at eachother dead in the eye and let out a big... "IT'S ON!".

Note from Pinkie Pie

Oh my gosh! This is it! The Rivalry begins! I can't wait to see these two duke it out for the heart of Fluttershy! Oh I almost forgot! The author told me to tell you guys to DON'T FORGET TO VOTE! Also you can comment on which event the guys can do next! Here are his guidelines:

Must be relevant to what Fluttershy does on a regular basis

Must not involve any NSFW stuff! Nopony likes that!

Easy on the violence! This is a family story! Or is it?

Must have a winner! We gotta keep this thing interactive!

That's it! That's all you gotta do here in this new INTERACTIVE story in the Sparks Fly Series! Also follow the author @AutisticBrony to send him your suggestions and get special sneak peeks at the next book in the series "Awakening"

Can't wait to see how you guys will turn the tides of battle for these to new rivals! See you soon and enjoy "The Rivalry!"

NOW WITH 4TH WALL BREAKING!

Week 2: The End?

Now I know what you're thinking...."The End? Already?" Yes The end. Frankly it's very difficult to even think of a story that's both interactive and fits in with our little story. Luckily I won't leave you in the dark. I still have the conclusion up my sleeve and I plan on publishing it, and that will segway into "Sparks Fly: Awakening", if it's the last thing I do! Also a Big thanks to Pokeblox45 for putting up with this and thanks to you the reader for taking the time to read this crappy Fanfic...frankly it was just a good idea that didn't work. But we're gonna move on. Here's the conclusion of the Rivalry.

The End of a Era

"I can't believe you won that challenge, I demand a recount!" Pokeblox said with rage. "Dude look I won they chose me get over it" Hackalot said defending his ground. The two were out of ideas on what to do as far as winning the heart of Fluttershy, however Hackalot had an idea. "Here's a thought, why don't we head to my arcade? Best 2 out of 3 in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition version 2012. Winner gets the heart of Fluttershy...and the loser...gets banished to the moon." Hackalot implied. "You know what...you're a mega idiot. I play Street Fighter all the time...You're on!" Pokeblox Said. So without hesitation the guys headed to the arcade where they would have their final battle. "Hang on let me get the machine on FREE PLAY" Hackalot said. "Fine just hurry up! I got a game to win" Pokeblox said confidently. After a few minutes of programming Hackalot finally got the machine to work on free play. The guys chose their characters and Ultra Combos, Hackalot chose Akuma with his "Wrath of the Raging Demon" Ultra and Pokeblox chose Ken with his "Shinryuken" Ultra Combo. The two took almost 5 to 7 hours playing the game and the entire town was waiting to see who had won. After 8 hours had passed the audience saw a figure coming toward the door. It was Pokeblox standing victorious over Hackalot. Hackalot was sent to the moon immediately leaving his life, his friends, and his business behind. It truly was an end of an era.

Note to the reader:
After the battle Pokeblox took fluttershy to live with him in Phillydelphia but Fluttershy refused. Hackalot stayed on the moon for a while and was found by Princess Luna. The next chapter will highlight the conversation between the two.

Sneak Peek: Sparks Fly: Awakening

Evolution

After the insanity that was being on the moon for a month or two I finally made it home. It felt great to see everything was where it was when I left. Nothing stolen, nothing moved, everything was exactly where it was in the first place. Heading down to my living room I thought about what Luna had told me...I can't give up on love just yet! There's always the option of finding somepony new...there's a crap-ton of mares in Equestria that I could land...I just gotta try. I finally headed to my bed to take a good nights rest and to find the next mare of my dreams.

The next day I woke up to find out that everything about me had changed! My personality stayed the same,but my looks had changed! I had a different hair style, my wings were different, heck I even got the Google Developers Group logo as my cutie mark! What I thought to myself was "What happened last night?!".

Confessions: Hackalot

In the last chapter of "Sparks Fly" Hackalot Spark was trying to kiss Fluttershy, only to find himself in the middle of a big love triangle. The two have decided to meet with the author to confess what happened. Here's what Hackalot Spark had to say:

"I honestly didn't know that this would happen. I thought she could be the one for me...however I didn't think she would belong to somepony else. Man I feel like an idiot losing a friend that I had for almost 4 years, and that's saying something! Honestly I'm ready for whatever Pokeblox can throw at me, I know that Fluttershy is the real ,true one for me and I will fight for her no matter how much pain I suffer, or how humiliated I get. I just know that she will be mine! If you're reading this then do me a favor...keep me in your letters to Celestia, I feel as if I'm going to need them soon. I know I got support from my friends including Shining Armor, Cadance, even some of the little fillies from Ms. Cherrilee's class have my back. That's great considering I'm going up against my old friend. Believe me, a guy like me would get his plot kicked hard to guys like him. He used to be on the all-star bucking team back in college. I was working for the School paper at the time. I just hope that after all this is over, that Pokeblox and I can still be friends."

Confessions: Pokeblox

In the last chapter of "Sparks Fly" Pokeblox found himself witnessing his girlfriend commit adultery with Hackalot Spark. The two have decided to meet with the author to confess what happened. Here's what Pokeblox had to say:

"That son of a *****! He tried kissing my girl! MY GIRL! Can you believe that guys like him exist? I mean really! I thought he was my friend! We were best of friends for 4 years straight! All through college he and I were close as close can be! Now he stabbs me in the back by trying to get with my Fluttershy...MY FLUTTERSHY! I tell you one thing this rivalry will end swift! I used to be on the All-Star Bucking team back in college! He was just a wimpy reporter for the School Paper! Believe me when I tell you that Hackalot will be humiliated so bad that he'll have to leave ponyville and NEVER come back ever again! I hope that happens and when I do, the whole town will know that Fluttershy is mine I tell you...MINE! Hey you! Reader! You hear that?! She's Mine! Back off! Unless you're rooting for me to win and keep Fluttershy you need to find another story to read!"

From The Author:
I apologize in advance for what is about to occur in this story. There will be battles as far as the eye can see, there will be bloodshed, there might even be...banishment to the moon. All I can tell you is that this story will be crazy and YOU yes YOU the reader will decide the fate of these two former friends turned rivals. Every week these two will compete in different competitions based off of abilities that Fluttershy looks for in a potential date. After each story you will decide the winner by either A. Voting here with the comments section or B. Tweeting with the #TeamSpark or #TeamPokeblox. The most votes at the end of the week will be considered the winner for that week. Don't worry...I'll be keeping score...or at least Pinkie will since she's got the whole town involved. I hope that this will be a wonderful, interactive experience for you.

Week 1: Bunny Roundup

It was a Saturday morning and both Pokeblox and Hackalot were ready to find out what the community had chosen for their challenge this week.

"You ready to rock and roll Spark? Believe me this is going to be fun beating your flank to the ground!" Blox said proudly
"Let's just get this over with...lemme see what the community said" Hackalot said pulling out his Chromebook.
"Woah woah woah. Why is it that you get to see what the community decided?" said Pokeblox
"Because I'm the only one who know's the author's fimfiction.net account password duh!" Said Hackalot.
"True...Go on..." Blox Said
"Thank you." Spark said opening the fimfiction.net website
Hackalot punched in my username and password into fimfiction.net. He was surprised to find that my story was sort of getting popular considering I haven't been featured on Equestria Daily, Everfree Radio, or any other pony site.
"Wow we're already getting a lot of exposure! This will be great!" Spark said with a smile.
"C'mon! Let's see what our first task is!" Blox said impatiently
"Fine Fine! Let me see...Ah! Here's one from Bronycup! "I vote that they duke it out in a battle of wits by...........seeing who could round up the most baby bunnies for Fluttershy to count" Sounds easy enough for the both of us." Hackalot said with confidence.
Pinkie Pie took Hackalot's Chromebook and Fluttershy brought as much bunnies as she could. She didn't want this fight to happen, but she had to do what she had to do.
"Ok I talked with the author. He said that I should release the bunnies all through Equestria and you guys have to give them a 5 second head start." Fluttershy said.
"Wait a minute...How are we going to do this? I mean really?" Hackalot Spark said scratching his head.
"well you guys are on MemeCenter right? Hackalot you're under MiguelMyMusic right? Pokeblox you're under Pokeblox45 right?" Fluttershy asked us both.
"Yeah why?" We both asked.
"Why don't you have your readers be bunnies and whoever has the most wins!" Fluttershy suggested
"Hmmm...I think I get what she's trying to say. What she wants is for us to have a meme with a bunny on our page..and whoever has the most Gustas wins...I guess.." Hackalot implied
"No problem...besides I think I got this in the bag." Pokeblox said confidently.
"Bring it on..." Hackalot said.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE READER:
Go to
Find either MiguelMyMusic or Pokeblox45
Find a picture of a Bunny saying "Gusta this for Team Spark or Team Blox"
Like "Gusta" it to vote for either Pokeblox or Spark.

The Conversation on the moon.

After Hackalot's loss to Pokeblox he was banished to the moon. Although he felt alone he wasn't alone. Princess Luna heard Hackalot crying and immediately found him in a crater, lying face down on the moon's texture. Princess Luna spoke with Hackalot and tried to cheer him up. "Look, I know things seem bad, however you shouldn't give up on love" Luna said caringly. "But you don't understand...I was always the one being dumped...I never dumped anypony all my life! I was always used, hated, shot down, destroyed even! I just want to give up! Love hurts and until Princess Cadance can work her magic with my I ain't gonna love anytime soon" Hackalot said losing all hope in himself. "Look I can't guarantee that Cadance can help you, she's always busy with Shining Armor...you remember right? You were at the wedding weren't you?". "No I wasn't" Hackalot said "I had some important business to take care of..plus nopony invited me.". "Wow...that's sad. Well I'll tell you this...you don't have to stay here on the moon. I can override the banishment and send you back as if nothing happened" Luna said. "Thank you...I can't leave my friends, or my business. Thank you princess." Hackalot said wiping the tears from his eyes. "We're still on for game night though tomorrow night right?" Luna asked. "Yep! This weeks theme is RPG's! We're playing Guild Wars 2, Dragon Age 2, heck we're even gonna play Dungeons and Dragons!" Hackalot said happily. "Huzzah! I can't wait for that one!" As Luna sent Hackalot on his way he thought about what Luna said...maybe it was time for him to move on. Coming back home was a challenge, especially explaining how Luna lifted the ban. Now it was time to start fresh again, it was time to live life again, it was time for an Awakening.
