And so, the game had begun and the first round in the game show was this: The trivia round (questions that ask about each contestant’s personalities).

“Okay everyone, this is our first round which is called The Personality Test. In this round, Gloriosa should ask the guys what their interests are and if the girls will either have the same interest or not, Then I asks the girls what their favorite movies or stuff are (the guys can’t hear, since the guys are in a soundproof booth) and if the guys guess what the girls are saying, it’s correct. If they get it wrong, they will get “TermiDated”/”Terminated” and will be evacuated from the game." Timber explained.

“Is everyone ready?” Gloriosa asked everyone.

The players nodded as they were ready for the game.

“Then let the first round of the game begin!” Timber cried out. “First off is Flash an K-Lo!”

Flash and K-Lo walked in to the stage where Flash was first as he was in the soundproof booth while he couldn’t hear, while K-Lo asked Timber what Flash’s favorite interest is, in fact which was Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, not Twilight “Sci-Twi” Sparkle, so she wrote the name on paper and hid it in her pocket. As Flash walked out of the soundproof booth, he was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Flash, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Gloriosa asked.

“Alright, I’m gonna go with Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria!” Flash guessed as K-Lo grabbed the paper and wrote the name (Princess Twilight Sparkle) as the bells rang.

“That’s correct! Now, it’s your turn, K-Lo!” Timber said.

K-Lo did as she was told, then she went into a soundproof booth, then while Flash asked Gloriosa what K-Lo’s favorite interest was, which was the cartoon, Jem and the Holograms, so he wrote the name on paper and hid it in his pocket. As K-Lo walked out of the soundproof booth, she was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, K-Lo, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Timber asked.

“Jem and the Holograms!” K-Lo answered as Flash grabbed the paper and wrote the name Jem and the Holograms as the bells rang.

“That’s correct!” Gloriosa said. “Okay, the next group is Micro Chips and Aria Blaze!”

Micro and Aria walked into the stage where Micro was first as he was in the soundproof booth while he couldn’t hear, while Aria asked Timber what Micro’s favorite interest is, she guessed which was his favorite food sushi, which was not true, as Micro’s favorite food was a BLT Sandwich she wrote the name on paper and hid it in her pocket. As Micro walked out of the soundproof booth, he was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Flash, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Gloriosa asked.

“How do I put this? A BLT Sandwich!” Micro guessed as Aria grabbed the paper and wrote the word (Sushi) as the buzzer went off.

“Ooh! That’s not correct. It’s sushi.” Timber said, Looks like it’s Aria’s turn now, So let’s just put her in the soundbooth where she can’t hear!

Aria did as she was told, then she went into a soundproof booth, then while Mirco asked Gloriosa what Aria's favorite interest was, which was singing together with her sisters as a singing group, so he wrote the hobby on paper and hid it in his pocket. As Aria walked out of the soundproof booth, she was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Aria, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Timber asked.

“Singing songs together with my sisters as a girl group.” Aria answered as Mirco grabbed the paper and wrote the hobby as the bells rang.

“That’s correct!” Gloriosa said. “Okay, the next group is Crimson Napalm and Adagio Dazzle!”

Crimson and Adagio walked into the stage where Crimson was first as he was in the soundproof booth while he couldn’t hear, while Adagio asked Timber what Crimson’s favorite interest is, she guessed which was his favorite comic (Power Ponies), wrote the name on paper and hid it in her pocket. As Crimson walked out of the soundproof booth, he was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Crimson, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Gloriosa asked.

“My favorite interest is my favorite comic (Power Ponies).” Crimson guessed as Adagio grabbed the paper and wrote the hobby (Singing songs together with my sisters as a girl group) as the bells rang.

“That’s correct! Now, it’s your turn, Adagio!” Timber said.

Adagio did as she was told, then she went into a soundproof booth, then while Mirco asked Gloriosa what Aria's favorite interest was, which was the show (Lolirock and its character Iris), so he wrote the hobby on paper and hid it in his pocket. As Adagio walked out of the soundproof booth, she was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Adagio, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Timber asked.

“Hmm, how should I put this… LoliRock! Plus, my favorite character in the show is Iris.” Adagio guessed as Crimson grabbed the paper and wrote the hobby (LoliRock) as the bells rang.

“That’s correct!” Gloriosa said. “Okay, the next group is Thunderbass and Supernova Zap (Su-Z)!”

Thunderbass and Su-Z walked into the stage where Thunderbass was first as he was in the soundproof booth while he couldn’t hear. When Su-Z asked Timber what Thunderbass’ favorite interest is, she guessed which was his favorite (Cheer You On, a song sung by Flash Sentry), which she wrote the on paper and hid it in her pocket. As Crimson walked out of the soundproof booth, he was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Thunder, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Gloriosa asked.

“Here’s my favorite: Flash Sentry's song 'Cheer You On'" Thunderbass said as the bells rang.

“Correct! Now it’s Su-Z’s turn.” Timber replied.

Su-Z did as she was told, then she went into a soundproof booth, then while Thunderbass asked Gloriosa what Su-Z's favorite interest was, which was listening and singing K-Pop songs with Su-Z together, so he wrote the hobby on paper and hid it in his pocket. As Su-Z walked out of the soundproof booth, she was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Su-Z, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Timber asked.

“My favorite interest is listening and singing K-Pop songs with Su-Z together.” Su-Z replied as Thunderbass grabbed the paper and wrote the hobby as the bells rang.

“That’s correct!” Gloriosa said. “Okay, the next and last group is Sandalwood and Sweet Leaf!”

Sandalwood and Sweet walked into the stage where Sweet was first as he was in the soundproof booth while he couldn’t hear, while Sweet asked Timber what Sandalwood’s favorite interest is, Sweet didn’t know Sandalwood that much ,So she guessed that it was summer themed songs on paper and hid it in her pocket. As Sandalwood walked out of the soundproof booth, he was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Sandalwood, here’s your question: what's is your favorite interest?” Gloriosa asked.

“My favorite interest is listening to rock and roll music.” Sandalwood said as Sweet grabbed the paper and wrote the answer as the buzzer went off.

“Ooh! That’s not correct. It’s summer themed songs.” Timber said. "Looks like it’s Sweet’s turn now, So let’s just put her in the soundbooth where she can’t hear!"

Sweet did as she was told, then she went into a soundproof booth, then while Sandalwood asked Gloriosa what Sweet’s favorite interest was, Sandalwood didn’t know Sweet that much, So he guessed that it was planting gardens and trees, on paper and hid it in her pocket. As Sweet walked out of the soundproof booth, she was ready to answer his question!

“Okay, Sweet, here’s your question: what is your favorite interest?” Timber asked.

“Planting gardens and trees.” Sweet replied, as Sweet grabbed the paper and wrote the answer as the buzzer went off.

“Ooh! That’s not correct. It’s rock and roll music.” Gloriosa said. "Looks like Sweet and Sandalwood have been TermiDated/Terminated!! Which means they’ll be watching the show in the green room watching us and our contestants!" she continues, as Sweet and Sandalwood disappear back into the green room (the real world in reality). Sweet and Sandalwood get to watch the show from their phones. At least they get a romance novel they chose out of all the choices (they chose Twilight).

"Alright, now it’s time for the next round; The Physical Challenge round!" Timber explained. "This round is where the guys guide the girls through an obstacle course; girls are blindfolded and guys have megaphones to guide the girl through! If one of the groups fails, they will be TermiDated/Terminated!! Don't worry, the losing duo gets a heart-shaped box of chocolates and flowers.” he said.

“Is everyone ready?” Gloriosa asked everyone.

The others nodded as the bell rings.

“Then let the second round of the game begin!” Timber cried out.

The buzzer blared and the crowd erupted in cheers. On the finish line side, Flash, Micro Chips, Crimson Napalm and Thunderbass gripped their megaphones, ready to guide their partners through the chaos ahead. Across from them, Kiwi Lollipop (K-Lo), Aria Blaze, Adagio Dazzle and Supernova Zap (Su-Z) stood blindfolded at the starting line, anticipation thick in the air. The course in front of them consists of a balance beam over a pool of slime, a wall of cake to climb over and a crawl under a fence of rose stems/thorns through glitter.

"Alright, ladies," Timber Spruce's voice boomed over the speakers. "Your partners will guide you through the course. Listen carefully—one misstep could send you into the slime!"

Micro Chips adjusted his glasses, his mind already mapping the best route for Aria. "Three steps forward, then a small hop," he instructed calmly. Aria followed his voice with precision, barely making a sound as she navigated the balance beam over the pool of slime.

Meanwhile, Crimson Napalm had other plans. "Uh-oh, Adagio! Look out—oh wait, never mind, false alarm!" He laughed as Adagio smacked her shin against the beam, barely catching herself.

"Crimson!" she hissed, gritting her teeth. "If I fall into this disgusting goo, I will never speak to you again!"

Across the course, Flash was focused, his voice steady. "You're doing great, K-Lo! Left foot, now right—" A sudden slip on the thorn crawl made her wince. "Sorry, my bad! Just a scratch!"

Thunderbass and Su-Z were in perfect sync, his smooth directions keeping her steady. "Two more steps—now duck! Jump!" She cleared the cake wall in one swift move, landing gracefully.

As the race neared its end, Adagio fumed, her hair now dusted with cake crumbs, her patience shredded. "You absolute buffoon!" she snapped as Crimson’s last-minute misdirection had her tripping into the thorn crawl face-first.

The final buzzer rang and Timber Spruce grinned. "And that’s it! Our last-place team... Crimson Napalm and Adagio Dazzle!"

Adagio whipped off her blindfold, flames practically blazing in her eyes. "You did this on purpose!" she accused.

Crimson shrugged with a smirk. "Maybe. But hey, it was fun, right?"

"Ugh!" She stomped off, her boots squelching in a mix of cake and rose petals.

As the remaining teams celebrated their victory, the stadium lights dimmed and Goriosa clapped her hands. "Alright lovebirds, it’s halftime! Everyone, let's give it up for Maud Pie!"

A low, haunting melody filled the air as Maud, standing amidst dazzling neon visuals, began a slow, mesmerizing rendition of a Billie Eilish hit (No Time to Die). The crowd swayed and for just a moment, the chaos of the competition melted into the hypnotic glow of cyberspace romance.

To be continued…
