"A challenge?" Vinyl said with a glint in her eyes. "Now this morning has just become a lot more interesting. Alright it's a deal, but I have to warn you." There came a knock at the door and Vinyl walked over to it, she opened it up and in front of the door stood a trolley with a tray stacked high with all kinds of danishes, smelling as fresh and mouthwatering. "This hotel has some of the best danishes in town." The gloating pony finished.
Rainbow quickly changed and made her way to the stage, posing in one of her usual poses.

"Yeah, um, Octavia will be the judge and I'll be eating on her behalf I suppose." She said as things started to get serious. "pony who eats the most danishes wins. and you only get one glass of water. I think those were the rules. Um, any objections?" She finished walking up to the trolly taking a deep breath.
Photo opened a very large case and inside where three diffrent guitars. The first a starshaped electric with a blue/moon and yellow/sun pattern to it's two halfs. She handed it to Rainbow who was on stage and stood back to get a better look. "The feel of this picture should be energetic and powerful. I would like you to stand, back hooves slightly apart and your left front hoof on the guitar. then throw your right hoof in the air. I'll leave the face to you but remember energy and power."

"Whoa, now wait just a minute there." Vinyl quickly interrupted. "I thought thought this little challenge was going to be between me and Octi?" She asked looking over her glasses. "When did we decide on a substitute?"
Rainbow did as Photo instructed and as she hit the pose she closed her eyes tight and clenched her teeth, with her tongue just sticking out between them.

"OH well I see that you dont seem very confident when it's me you have to face. Perhapse I should count myself the winner by default since you obviousley sooooo scaarrrrrrrrred." She said trying to luer Vinyl off Octavia's tail. She had the same Metabolism as Vinyl and could eat a lot without gaining whieght so while she couldn't guarentee she could win the contest she could guarentee she wouldn't have to hold back.
"That's perfect not hold that pose, I'm going to turn off the lights and set off the stage props. It might be loud." She hit one buton which closed all the windows and turned off all the lights creating almost perfect darkness then she hit the second button turning on the lights, fog machines, fire cannons and an epid guitar solo in the background and She took so many photo's in such quick sucession that it was practically a stopmotion video. and she continued the hit the button untill the fire ran out of fuel.

"Oh, I see how it is." Vinyl said with a sly smile. "Alright, I'll go along with this little charade, but in return I get to add one little rule of my own." She said looking towards Octavia. "Octavia isn't allowed to eat any of the danishes, if she takes even one bite the victory goes to me. Do you agree Octi?" Vinyl flashed her an innocent smile.
"Can I stop posing yet?" Rainbow asked through gritted teeth when everything was quiet again.

"Fine but I think I deserve at least one half a danish to compensate for the one you ate earlier" She said looking over her shoulder at the napkin covered in crumbs. "I think she at least deserves that" Fluttershy added with her slightly reserved face.
"Yes your free to stop." Photo said stepping away fro mthe camera "Look through these photo's and tell me what you think. while I get ready for the next shot." She said walking away from a stack of photos on the ground.

"Alright, but only after the contest." Vinyl said taking one of the best looking danishes and putting it at the edge of the table. "See? I'll even put this one aside for you. But you can't have any during the contest, only after we're finished can you have it."
Rainbow looked through the photos and put some to one side where she thought she looked a little weird because of the smoke, fog and lights.

"OK fair enough" Octavia said turning away from the absolutely delicious looking danish and grabbing a pencil and a small stack of empty sheet music sheets. "I'll keep score then" She sat in the furthest chair from the danish table. "OK, um, whenever you're ready then Vinyl" Fluttershy said walking up to the table "But do know I won't hold back and Rainbow always challenges me to these things at random parties." She place both hooves on the underside of the table to ensure she didn't cheat. "You start when you're ready" Photo Finish returned with another outfit and guitar. The clothing was a red plaid-stripped shirt and brown leather "Dress" in the sense that it hung down to meet her back hooves on the ground but it wasn't very flashy. the hanging portion was cut vertically on both sides starting where you could see her cutiemark. There was also a light brown cowgirl hat and at the base of the standing section but not hanging on the overhang was a rainbow band all the was around and a rainbow bandanna to hang around her neck. The guitar was a traditional acoustic with built in tuner and about an inch wide border on the inside of the outline for the front of the guitar and the neck was also rainbow coloured with a rainbow coloured belt to hang over the shoulder. "Here you go put on this and go over to the other stage over there." She pointed to a very western themed stage looking like a desert under the beating sun and cactus and tumble weed in the background of a wooden rocking chair. "I'll explain the shot when you return for now I'll take the photo's your OK with and add them to my possible photo stack in my office." She handed Rainbow the cloths and took the photo's that remained. OOC: So many details so little time maybe I should hold back lol

"Oh boy." Vinyl said rubbing her hooves together. "This already looks like the best challenge ever. What will I have first?" Vinyl said as her hoof hovered over the danishes. "The cheese, custard, apple, hazelnuts, apricot or strawberry jam, pear, caramelized toffee, almonds, raisins? There's just too many to choose from. Hey, Octi, which one should I start with?" She asked innocently.
Rainbow Dash took the clothes and headed back to the dressing room. A few minutes later she come out in her new attire. "I don't think Applejack has any cloths that look like these, are you sure they're right?" She asked admiring herself in the mirror.

"The milk chocolate one over there looks good" Octavia said pointing to a danish on Vinyl’s side of the table "OK I'll start the match. On your mark... Get seeettt... GOOOOOO!" Suddenly in a way you would never expect of one such as Fluttershy the danishes start disappearing in a flurry of hooves and crème filling. She starts downing them with the most serious face one could expect from her with a tad added on and she is downing danishes almost one every 3 seconds. 'it's like watching a monster eat unsuspecting ponies at the theatre' Octavia thought to herself as she is hit in the face with a small bit of whipped topping.
OOC: LoL couldn't resist
BIC: "I haven't had the chance to meet your friend Applejack personally but from what I have heard she's a hard working farm pony that isn't much for dressing formal. This is a western style 'dress' with the purpose of being extremely formal and attracting certain ponies attention, if you catch my drift" she said nudging Rainbow in the shoulder "But that's for parties and the like. This Photo shoot is designed to grab everyponies attention and this one specifically the eye's of western county guitarists. Whenever your ready I'll sprits you with this waterbottle to replicate the heat of day and I want you to sit in the chair one leg over the other with the guitar strap over your shoulder and the neck in your left hoof. then while looking up into the light replicating the sun tip the hat back a bit with your hoof while you pretend to wipe the "sweat" from your brow. just hold that pose as long as you can though we shouldn't need as many shot's of a simple still like this." She held out a water bottle pointed at Rainbow "Whenever your ready"
OOC: you can rp the spraying and photo shoot to simplify things I'll pick back up when the shot's have been taken.

"Wow." Vinyl said taken back a bit. "Look at her go. It's a good thing we put one danish aside for you Octi, I don't think there's going to be anymore left after this. I better get going if I want to catch up to her." Vinyl took the danish Octavia pointed out and took a bite. "Your right Octi this one is soooo good. You have a great eye for danishes." Vinyl took another danish and then another, each time savoring it as it disappeared into her mouth, all the while glancing over to Octavia with each new danish. "They're all really good, and each one is good in its own special way."
"I know what you mean." Rainbow said with a grin, and then it disappeared. "You're right you know, Applejack really doesn't get out much, she's so obsessed with work." Rainbow looked at herself in the mirror again. "Sometimes I feel like the only one that I can really discuss guys with is Rarity. Fluttershy's too shy to show any interest openly and Pinkie Pie's, well, Pinkie Pie. I guess we could let Twilight join in, but she already has a special somepony, and that's no fun for me and Rarity when she goes on about Broly this and Broly that. Not to mention the surprise we had when she was the first one of us to have a steady coltfriend." Rainbow got onto the stage and made herself ready. "Hey Photo? Would it be too much to ask if I could keep the outfit?" Photo didn't answer immediately as she sprayed water on the blue pegasus and started shooting when she was in place. Finishing quickly as RD did what was asked of her as well as getting some photo's with her wings spread as she sat on the chair.

Fluttershy never once stopped eating and as she stuffed the danishes down all she could think about was all the times Rainbow challenged her to a eating contest with the same rules and "reward" at the end. She didn't much like Rainbows music and made it a point to not lose when the time came. When Vinyl started eating Fluttershy though she might catch up so after a small break and a deep breath she kicked into real high gear and started eating two danishes at a time still finishing them in two seconds. She only did this when Rainbow started using her skill in flight, throwing food in the air and flying around to catch them faster. Octavia with quickly writing down marks for each danish each had eaten and try really REALLY hard to not let Vinyl's taunts get to her.
"Sure I don't need the clothing after the shoot,it's not my style. Now get ready I'm about to start." She gave one more look over the scenery and Rainbow. "Could you droop your wings a bit almost like the heat is sapping their energy. We want it to seem hot after all." Once Rainbow was ready Photo started taking many pictures in quick succession for about 3 minutes.

"She's like a machine." Vinyl commented. "I think she just got the last of the jam ones, and yep there goes the last raisin. I guess you won't have to worry about losing this one Octi, well might as well enjoy what's left." Vinyl said with a sigh and slight smile on her face. "At least I get the last custard, and there's still two toffees left, I better take one now before they also disappear." She said eating the danish in question.
Rainbow did as she was instructed and when they were done she got off the stage. "So you still got one shoot left right? Can't wait to see what you have planned."

Octavia grabbed her single Danish off the counter and put down the pen and paper. Under Vinyls name was about 10 checkmarks and under Fluttershy's about 50. She ate her danish happily sitting back on the couch. Fluttershy heard that Vinyl had pretty much given up and fell backward spread eagle with a full belly pudge to boot. she rolled over and unto the couch and took small slow breaths "Man, sometimes I forget when I'm not going against Rainbow I don't need to go all out" she laughed a bit "So now what will we do? We probably still have about a half hour till Photo and Rainbow are done." OOC: Give me a few to think of a third Genre i had one when I said three but I need to find it again though I probably go with a blues/jazz feel I'll edit later.

OOC: ... I don't really know lol how about you post and I'll react. You could post that Vinyl makes a huge comeback and that we lose by default because Tavi ate her danish or whatever I'm kool either way. I think I'll do a contemporary soft jazz feel with a blues themed scenery and a clean no jacket tux and fedora with a blue striped long sleeve collard shirt tucked in. Still need a unique guitar theme to go along with it after all the guitar is ... IDEAAAAAA!! What about an average acoustic coloured in a wooden textured, with a chrome coloured neck and white fret bars with light blue strings. I've picked everything else so does this sound cool to you you can pick the third stage

ooc: I don't know who should win. Ah, the heck with it, I'm just going to post this because I want to see Octavia's reaction. As for the stage, I guess one of those classy, all wooden bar scenes, or jazz club scenes would be good with it.
"Oh, Octi and Fluttershy." A mischievous Vinyl said. Between her hooves was one more danish she had skillfully kept hidden next to the try with her magic. "Is the contest over already? I don't remember a bell going off." She took a bite out of the danish. "Weren't we suppose to keep eating until all the danishes were gone?" She took another bite. "except the one we put aside for Octavia." She glanced towards them with a big smile on her face as she took a third bite out of the danish.

OOC: Sounds good to me (pertaining to the bar scene). Now to figure out how to best rp Tavi and Fluttershy's reaction to Vivi (lol can't get over that) eating what (according to your post) appears to be the last danish
BIC: "Well, We never did set rules for the winner but either it's whoever eats the most or whomever eats the last." Fluttershy said between breaths as she looked at the score sheet " looks like it's 57 for me and 15 for you. You can say who one I can't eat another byte(lol computer pun)" Fluttershy rolled over on the couch crumbs falling from her face. Octavia ignored Vinyl and finished her danish.
Photo Finish walked over to the back right of the room where the third stage was set up. From the outside all you could see was a black tent, very large and appearing to cut off all light on the inside. When she walked inside she turned on the light and inside there was a wooden stage with a single mic in next to two bar stools on the one furthest from the mic sat a small glass of applejuice. Behind the chair was a brink wall glossed over and painted a navy blue and a black curtain draped along the top and down the sides of the wall. The only light in the room was a single white-blue light beaming down on the stools and mic giving the whole room a good sense of ambiance. Photo walked to the left corner furthest from the set and picked through the wardrobe the clothing for the shot. "Here you go, change into these and Ill bring out the third guitar when you get back." Photo handed Rainbow a pair of black slacks and a vertically striped dark blue light blue cuffed collard button up long sleeve shirt to be tucked in. With it she handed her a black fedora embossed with a lookalike of Rainbows Cutiemark on the left side of the hat and on the right sides a solid blue feather. and a dark navy blue belt to tie it all together.

"Oh, but the rules was that Octavia doesn't take one bite out of a danish until after the competition, isn't that right Octi?" Vinyl said with half a danish in her hoof. "Well, I'm still in the competition and you have a whole mouth full of danish." She said with a wicked smile.
"This looks like a cool hat." Rainbow said, putting it on before going to change. "After she put on the new outfit she folded up the cowgirl outfit neatly and put it away in her saddlebags. Than she headed back to Photo. "Alright, I'm ready."

Fluttershy was napping off her gorging spree on the couch and Octavia finished her danish "Honestly I don't care anymore. That danish was totally worth listening to your barbaric music for a week." She cleaned her mouth of the crumbs "But what are we going to do about Fluttershy? It would seen she tired herself out trying to beat you."

Vinyl burst out laughing and fell off her chair. "You should have seen your face Octi, it was priceless. I'm sure Fluttershy would have been too scared to eat if she looked towards you." Vinyl laying on her back, catching her breath. "That was fun, and delicious. Let's just let her sleep it off on the coach, I'm sure Rainbow Dash will know how to deal with her when she gets here." A danish levitated out from underneath the tray, covered in Vinyl's magic glow. "Oh and Octi, there's one more danish here with your name on it."

OOC: >.< forgot to do RD and Photo in my last post.
BIC: "I do believe I am already a half danish to far into my diet already." Octavia tried to avoid looking into the danishs' deliciousness. "And yea let's just leave her here on the couch. Wanna go down to the pool and "chill" there? Fluttershy should be out for a while."
Photo looked at rainbow then the stage then rainbow then the scene again. "How about you lean back a bit in the center barstool with your hat pulled over your eyes as you appear to strum the guitar, mouth open like your singing. should be a simple enough shot yes?" She said straightening up the chairs. "You might want to turn so that the cutiemark side of the hat is facing the camera. and cross one leg over the other Indian style leaving the other leg to hang down."

"Yeah sure." Vinyl said getting up and putting the danish back on the table. "Maybe I'll get one of the strong masseuse colts they have down there to work off all these danishes." She winked.
"That sounds a bit difficult." Rainbow said as she thought about the pose. "But I'll try." She did as Photo said and got into position, and with the help of her wings for a little balance she sat as Photo instructed. "Like this?"

Octavia lowered her head shaking it a bit side to side, that's Vinyl for ya' "Alright lets go." She walked outside and grabber the door to close and lock on the way out again flashing Vinyl's room key from outside the door.
After looking it over Photo though it looked a bit uncomfortable and likewise others would think it did so she walked outside and a minute or two later came back in with an almost identical barstool but about 4 inches lower on the seat with a second layer that spun separate of the base and more importantly a back to lean against. still matching the scenery, and being the same color, texture and stain as the other stool. Here you go, this let's us do more with your wings." she pushed the chair over to Rainbow. "When your sitting down spread your wings all the way out but not stiff. we want it to look relaxed and like an angel. We want it to look natural."

Vinyl was already waiting impatiently at the stairs. "Hurry up Octi, this was your plan remember." She said as she started heading down.
"You mean like when the wind is blowing through them? No problem." Rainbow took the new pose and spread her wings, keeping them loose and natural as Photo instructed.

"OH yes, this will be perfect. now hold that pose this shouldn't take long" and Photo started taking multiple photo's until she simply ran out of black photos to use. After she was done she handed Rainbow the stack of photo's to look through and walked out of the tent where the butler showed up bearing lemonade as she always requested from him after a photo shoot. "Hey Rainbow come get some lemonade I'm sure it's getting hot in there by now." she called into the dark tent.
"OH, why must I fall for it every time." Octavia breathed as she locked the door to run after Vinyl, Fluttershy was sleeping soundly inside looking adorable as always. Eventually Octavia caught up "I wonder what kind of music they'll have playing when we show up at the pool. Would be nice if that Bassist from before were still there, he always plays such beautiful music" She said flipping her towel over her neck as they walked.

Rainbow quickly went through the photos and put the ones she didn't like aside, which was only a few photos. She went to change out of her outfit before joining Photo for lemonade, still wearing the fedora from the photo shoot. "This is going to taste great thanks." She said taking a glass of lemonade for herself.
"Maybe you should ask him for a message." Vinyl laughed as they entered the pool area.

"Once the stages are taken down for the most part we can go. You can go to your room and get ready it shouldn't take me long to put this stuff away." She made her was to the first stage moved the lights out of the way and kicked the corner and the whole thing fell apart.
"And maybe you should only talk to ONE guy this time Vinyl. Since your likely to scare him off anyway." She laughed as she made her way to the seat closest to the musicians stand but still out of the sun. Nopony was playing anything yet but they useually start on the hour so they should start in about 15 min.

"Alright! See you in a bit." Rainbow said as she made her way to her room and started getting ready to go out.
"I tell you what." Vinyl whispered. "You wait on one side of the pool and then I'll go scare him straight into your arms." She giggled. She joined Octavia and waved to one of the attendants at the pool's side.

"Ahaha, no." Octavia said really hoping she wouldn't do it. She put her towel down on the chair and moved towards the water. "I'm going for a swim" She called back as she made her way into the water one step at a time.
Photo finished pulling down the remaining two stages and placed them all in a large dark closet that seemed to go back forever. after making her way back to her room and lightly washing up after all the sweating she knocked on Rainbows room. "Are you ready to go? We finished a bit early so there's no rush."
