“So let me get this straight, princess.” You say as you walk beside her and Derpy. As if she wasn’t random enough, she was eating a banana nut muffin while you tried conversing with the princess. Smells like a good ass muffin too. “ Generosity is to Kindness?”

“Yes, that is correct.” You both walk into the mess hall, which was filled with tons of other night guards. As soon as they saw the princess, they all bowed their heads towards her, showing their respect as she walked around them, and towards the lunch line. “Two full boxes of olives and cheese pizza please!”

“Coming right up, your highness!” Said the lunch mare, quickly pulling out two large boxes of pizza. Princess Luna used her magic to levitate the pizza, then kindly thanked the mare. Strange, you’d excpect somepony that’s as royal as Luna to eat some high quality food, but instead goes for pizza? Must be some good shit.

“If that’s true,” You say as the scent of pizza entered your nostrils, making you hesitate for a mere second. "Is there actually any difference?”

“My sister and I were discussing this not too long ago, actually. I’m honestly surprised that you found out this late.” Princess Luna says as she takes a right turn, and you follow. “But their is some difference. You see, the reason why those mares were invited to this castle, was to help you out with the last three tests. All of them represent the Elements Of Harmony, which also explains the statues in the garden. The tests are named after the elements, and the bearers of said elements are all of those mares. You know what I mean, right?” She stopped in the middle of her walking and stared at you. You nodded, and she smiled. “Good. Now, we’re here!”

Just when you were about to say something, a large door opened behind Princess Luna. You didn’t even noticed the door because it was so well blend into the background, like if Luna wanted nopony to noticed. Wait...

“Come in, guard. There is nothing to be afraid of.” Strange. The Princess sounds more cheerer than how she was before. The last time you saw her, she had a serious expression on her face, and this was Sunday, and now it’s Wednesday.

As you into the room, your eyes grew wide in the magnificent beauties you saw before you. There, in that big room, was five 720p HDTV flat screens, all with their own consoles, each. No, we ain’t talking about that new school shit, like the Playstallion3, the Trotbox360, and the Nintendo WiiHorse-shU, we’re talking about that real old school shit. Yea, you know what the fuck this is, bro.

“Is..is this the SNES?!” You stay in astonishment. You haven’t played this system since you were a kid, and that was long ago. But the amazement didn’t stop there, as soon as you looked right next to it, you could feel your gamerballs drop from all of the nostalgia. “The NES? Sega Genesis? Gamecolt Color, and the original Gamecolt?! The Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and is that...No fucking way.” You quickly rushed to the other HDTV, which also had consoles, but the more older/newer ones. “Playstallion’s 1 and 2!? Trotbox!?” But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Your eyes couldn’t believe what you saw next.

“You like games too!?” You heard from behind, but you payed no attention.

“The Nintendo Gamecube?! This was my childhood right here! Paper Mario, Mario Sunshine, Pokemon, and so much more...I can die a happy colt.” You turn around with the most happiest face on the planet, starring Princess Luna directly in the eyes. “Luna, you are officially best princess, hooves down.”

You realize what you just said, then calm downed. “I mean, nice place you got here.” The Princess however, didn’t mind the complement. In fact, she was blushing!

“Thank you! It’s nice to find a pony that has a great tastes in video games.” Princess Luna says as she turns every light in the room, making all the consoles glisten majestically in the light.

“I have good tastes to Princess!” Derpy says as she held a muffin in her mouth. Just let that image burrow into your head. Cute ain’t she?

“I know you do, Derpy. It’s just that you don’t see somepony else in this castle that enjoys the classics like us!” Wow, Princess Luna was getting really excited. So excited, she even went out her way to turn on every system. That’ll raise the electric bill.

But it wasn’t long until she lost that smile, and sighed. “Darn, I almost forgot about Fluttershy!”

“Fluttershy?” You recalled a pegasus pony, who was indeed very shy. “Oh yea, I remember her.”

“Yes, the bearer of Kindness. Derpy and I will return, she’s needed here for the test.” The smile returned as quickly as it left, and she stood up and walked towards the door.

“Wait, what is she going to teach me?” You say walking towards her.

“You will see soon enough. Please, guard these games for now, along with the pizza.” You turned around and noticed the pizza sitting neatly on the table.

“Okay, I got it!” You say, saluting her. As soon as she left, you quickly walked over to the nearest T.V, which was already set up on the channel where The Wii was on. You looked at the numerous games she had, and pulled out a random one

“Super Smash Bros Brawl? That’s the shit I like!” You say as you enter the game in the Wii. The Logo came up, you pressed enter, made a new file, started playing story mode. You had that game face on as soon as Mario and Kirby entered the field.

“Shit’s about to go down.”

“K.O!”

“Fucking Metaknight, overpowered douchebag! Fuck it, let’s pick the Hyrule Hero himself, Link. Yea, shit just got real.” You quickly got bored, no wait, not bored, this game is too awesome to get bored. You played this game before, you know what happens, and went straight for the online multiplayer. It was just you, and three other players. Before, you picked Mario, your normal lay-back character, while the other kiddies were playing as Diddy Kong, Charizard, and Toon Link. At first you were playing simply for shit’s and giggles, but these ponies wanted to go all out.

“Alright, now it’s my turn.”

It’s indescribable how tryhard you went, and completely annihilated them. Shit man, you have a temper problem.

‘You have no proof.’

“Well, somepony sure is a bit angry.”

Told ya.

You turn around to see Princess Luna chuckling, and Derpy closing her eyes while enjoying a delicious muffin. You quickly backed out the game and set down the controller, trotting up to the princess.

“Sorry about that Princess. Smash Bros is one of my favorite games, and I was planning on playing lay-back, no need to try at all but...yea.”

“It’s quite alright, Derpy and I know exactly how you feel.” Princess Luna looks over to a case of the famously rage-inducing video game franchise, Call of Duty. “Anyways, come on out Fluttershy.”

The Princess took one step right next to her, and out in the open was the shy pony herself. She was too busy hiding behind her long pink mane, and you could tell how easily she spooked she was, because her legs were shaking. Luna pokes her side, making her squeak, much like she did the last time. “Come now, Fluttershy. There is no need to be afraid, it’s just you, Derpy, the guard and I in this room. I’m sure you’ve met the guard before.”

Luna signaled you to walk up to Fluttershy and you did as you were told. “Hello Ms.Shy. You do remember me, right?” You smiled at the shy pony, hoping that your fangs wouldn’t scare her.

She leaves her safe zone, and looks up at you slowly. Her eyes get wide, and by the look on her face, she was about to scream until derpy wrapped a hoof around her muzzle. She calmed down and began to talk. “I-I’m sorry. I don’t re-remember.”

“Are you sure? Okay, do you remember a guard escorting you and your friends to your room.”

“Y-yes?”

“Well, that was me.”

Fluttershy looked closer at you, so close that she was like, two inches away from your muzzle. She backed away, blushing at how close she was. “Yes, now I remember. But why do you look like a Batpony?”

“It’s sort of a perk a pony gets when becoming a Night Guard.” Luna explained as she closed the door behind her. She walked over to the Wii and shut it off. “Well, I believe it’s time for your test! So, Fluttershy, what game do you want this stallion to play?”

“I’m sorry Princess Luna, but I don’t play enough games.” Fluttershy says as she walks over to a game rack. She pulls out a random box, and reads it out loud. “How about this one? Mortal Kombat for the Ps3?”

“Not a bad choice.” Princess Luna says as she levitates the box towards the Ps3. “Don’t you agree, guard?”

“I have a name, but whatever. It’s a great fighting game, but princess, don’t you think all the blood and gore will be too much for her?” You knew the princess was agreeing with you, because she was quickly levitating the game back into it’s correct spot. “Hm, well how about Fluttershy chooses a side scroller, two player game?”

“Like this one?” You turn around to see Fluttershy holding up a SNES game cartridge. You smiled widely as you remember your times playing this extremely fun game. “Donkey Kong Country? Is this two player?”

“Excellent choice Fluttershy!” Princess Luna said as she levitated the game towards her. “This is a great Co-op game for you two!” She placed the cartridge in the SNES and turned it on. As the game screen began to load up, Luna connected the two controllers and handed one to you and one to Fluttershy.

As the title screen loaded up, you were instantly reminded of the boss as tune you heard when playing Donkey Kong Country-Jungle Groove.

“Alright, let’s do this!” You say as you started a new file. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong entered the jungle, and Donkey Kong pounded his chest as he normally would. “You ready for this, Fluttershy?”

“Y-yes?”

“This is going to be one really fun night.” Luna said as she took a bite out of a pizza slice.

Author's Note

That's right, we're bringing in the oldschool games, starting off with Donkey Kong Country, one of my favorite games from the SNES. Yes, I know I'm fourteen, but I actually owned a SNES. Donkey Kong was one of my favorites, and to this day I wish I can go back and play it. Aside from the Gamecube, Gameboys, Ps3, Ps2, and Xbox360, I haven't tried the other systems, I just know about them from watching The Angry Video Game Nerd. Also, my memory is a little fuzzy from playing the game because it was from so long ago, so incase I get anything wrong, please let me know.

Let the gaming begin!
Suggestions about any other games to play are welcomed!

P.S: Please read the latest blog post-Vote for some games so that Fluttershy n' you could play-Maybe Luna and Derpy too.
