Skullboy smiled back at her. "Then it's settled!" Doof announced. "But there's still the issue of your blue card challenge and this is a crowd favorite, mostly because the crowd gets to play along! Ruby will be playing a bit of Marco Polo. She'll be blindfolded and will have to find skullboy while he calls out to her, along with the calls from the crowd, who will also be calling out to her. Once Ruby is blindfolded Seras will give Skullboy a spot to stand and he's not allowed to move from that spot."

"Well, ok. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard." Ruby said looking at the large crowd she'd have to sort through. Seras handed her the blindfold and she started to tie it on while Seras went to a spot in the middle of the far left stadium and gesturing for him to come to her.

ooc: Just to make sure. Ruby won't actually have to go through the audience, since this is the easier challenge, just find him above the roar of the crowd.
Skullboy walked over to Seras. "Now audience!" Doof said. "I want you to call out to Ruby as loud as you can. And begin!" The crowd roared to life with all of them calling out Ruby's name. When the crowd started calling out Skullboy followed suit. "Ruby! I'm over here Ruby!"

Ruby, standing center stage, pointed her full attention to the rushing noise before her. It took a good minute of cheering before she pointed to the left set of chairs, among which Skullboy was sitting.

"You have to walk towards him." Doof told Ruby. "If you could help Seras so that Ruby doesn't trip on anything."

"Walk forward. not veering to the left or right and you'll be with Skullboy." Seras whispered into Ruby's ear and went as fast as she could setting up a ramp that lead to Skullboys row but not exactly to Skullboy. Ruby started walking forward to where she was pointing and only had to adjust a little bit to actually hit her mark, accidentally poking Skullboy in the forehead as she found him.
OOC: Like that?

ooc: Not really what I had in mind. Seras was suppose to put Skullboy near the crowd, not in it. And I meant that she should help guide Ruby so she wouldn't bump into anything, not really tell her where to walk. But it doesn't matter, we'll go with this. "Perfect!" Doof called out. "Full points to our lovely couple and we move on to the next contestants."

OOC: I'm going to do Bio and June last, Broly and Twilight second to last, and move on to Gilda and Iron Will now.
BIC: "OK, on to Iron Will. I pose the same question to you as I asked Ruby, 'If you could change any one thing, physical or otherwise, about your girl what would it be?'" Seras asked having already put the props up from the last challenge.

"Aww. But then you'd never catch up to me. Even if I already leave you in the dust." Gilda said in a friendly, joking manner. "I think that's a pretty accurate statement." Seras looked to Doof, "Doctor, any objection on your end?"

"I know you always take it easy on me when I do catch you." Iron winked at Gilda. "I have no objections." Doof agreed. "A blue card for Gilda. Let's see. Ooh! This is an interesting one. Boys are known for being somewhat dirty and girls would at least like them to wipe their feet." Doof hit a button and chocolate sauce fell from the ceiling, completely covering Iron Will. "Gilda, your task is to clean up Iron Will and make sure his presentable, and lets keep in mind that this is a PG rated show."

Gilda looked at the Chocolate covered Minotaur and couldn't help but laugh. After wiping a stray tear from her eye she looked around the room and then back at Iron Will, "I should have exactly enough room to do this. Will, don't move or we could get seriously hurt." Gilda said running off stage and flying to the furthest corner of the room.Broly knew exactly what Gilda was planning as did Twilight and both of them stepped back a few steps.

"Sure thing." Iron said with a nod, trusting Gilda.

Gilda knew the chocolate was going to harden eventually and made quick work flapping her wings as fast and strong as possible. Despite the short distance, Gilda took off like a lightning bolt and straight at Iron Will. Then, with a skill and finese you wouldn't expect of her, Gilda did a half turn and zipped by Iron Will, getting within a few inches of him and opening her wings at exactly the right moment to create a small vaccum that pulled the chocolate off him. What she didn't count on was the chocolate heading straight for her as she put up both a wing and an arm to block it and closing her eyes. It wasn't until almost a minute later that Gilda opened her eyes and looked around at a perfectly clean room. The Chocolate was cleaned off Iron Will but so was she as though the Chocolate never hit her. "Umm, ok. I'm not complaining." She said and walked up to Iron Will to inspect her work. "Pretty clean." She commented looking over all of Iron Will, "And still tone as ever. hehe." While she was busy looking at Iron Will a mass of chocolate fell from the cieling and right between Junebug and Bio, splashing a little on both of their faces.

"Thank you." Iron Will said, beaming at the compliment. Junebug reached up and cleaned Bio's face. "You heard what the Doctor said." She told him. "I have to make sure you're clean." She smiled. "That was definitely one of the more exciting ways we've seen that done." Doof announced. "I think that's enough to give you the points and we move ahead to our next contestants!"

Seras looked over to Broly, "Your turn. And could we get a Janitor over here to clean all this chocolate off the floor?" Just then a pony came in with a trash can filled with cleaning supplies. In other words, the janitor. "Thank you. Alright, on to Broly. What is one thing you would change about Twilight?" She asked and he immediately took a pondered look on his face but unlike the rest this wasn't the look of someone trying to find a single quality that could be improved upon but one of looking through a small list of things he'd thought up ahead of time. What could he say on TV that would satisfy the host and hostess? "I guess the only thing I feel I would want to change is perhaps us working less hours at the libraries. It feels like it takes up some of our us time. I am grasping at straws after-all."

"I don't know Seras." Doof said. "The question was 'what he'd change about Twilight', unless you're saying that you'd want Twilight to work less?"

"Exactly, and by extension I would work less as well." Broly added, his description not quite cutting it.

"Hmm, I always thought we worked together but I guess he has a point. Other then Tea time and Lunch we don't see each other much since he works in a subdivision of the library and I work upstairs. We don't leave our posts much." Twilight said thinking back on it.

"I believe that's enough to get a blue card." Doof said. "And now for your challenge Twilight. You're going to have to dance for Broly, more specifically, you're going to do a hula dance. And even more specifically you'll be dancing to He Mele No Lilo." ooc: Considering the last dance you made Bio do I think this is enough for easy mode. But then considering Twilight's skills at dancing.

OOC: Remember that Twilight is only bad at Freestyle. Any dance with set, exact, steps that she's learned before and aren't too physically taxing should be a piece of cake IF she can get past normal apprehensiveness that comes with certain dances. BIC: "But, what If I don't know this particular hula?" Twilight said uncertain, not that she didn't know it but more that she didn't want to do it alone on stage but for Broly. Broly put a hoof on her head, "Don't worry, I think you can handle it." he said and handed her a thick grass skirt. She took it and with a nervous swallow snapped it on, straightening out the long grass, a futile effort since dancing would just ruffle them up again. Broly stood between the guys and girls and looked to Twilight who was facing them with her side to the audience. She took a deep breath in and out before looking to Seras and nodding. Seras was waiting beside a jukebox ready to play the song at any moment. She then focused all her attention on Broly. So much so that the rest of the room seemed to go dark, though this was all in her head and not Brolys doing. The music started and Twilight quickly memorized the rhythm, tempo, and beat, of the song. She pulled her hooves to her hips and bent her knees ever so slightly and just as the music que'd the start of the dance she began the movements. At the start they were very stiff and although she did each one it didn't flow like it should. All the while she was focused on Broly and it seemed that was the reason for the stiffness. Broly's mouth moved as he spoke but the voice didn't come out of his mouth, instead it spoke straight into her head as though broly were in her skull as a little conscious. 'remember, don't just move like the dance, let the music move you and feel it's ebb and flow.' Broly's voice said and Twilight closed her eyes. During a slower move of the song she took another deep breath in and out and this time smiled. She kept her eyes closed as she worked through the second half of the song, this time each sway of the hip was profound, each hoof clap on target, and each spin had the grass skirt flare out like a small umbrella before hugging tight to her legs when she would stop the spin. Broly now spoke in everyone's head except Twilight, 'shh, let her finish her dance.' Broly and everyone else could see she was stepping out too far to the right and not compensating for the left. Broly walked, silently, off the front of the stage and right as the song was ending but before the spoken bit at the true end Twilight stepped offstage and fell down with a yelp to be caught by Broly in the nick of time. "You ok?" He asked with a little smile as he looked at her. "umm, yes." She said with a shyer smile then normal. Broly carried her upstairs and sat her down on the stage again. OOC: Hopefully that works I ad-lived that last bit because I couldn't remember what I was really planning.

ooc: I remember no such thing. Twilight (the show Twilight, not your Twilight that has obviously expanded some abilities) is bad with dancing whenever she is shown to dance. Not because she doesn't have the ability to dance, which we see she does, but because of her lack of social interaction. Dancing wasn't a part of her studies and thus not something she concentrated on. Which is something else we see early in the show, that she doesn't really study subjects beyond her interests or subject (never studied dragons, earth pony lore, herbal remedies, etc). The audience erupted in applause and it took a while before Doof could talk over the noise. "That was splendid!" Doof finally said. "If we keep this up I can start a dance show on the side. Once everypony is ready Seras you may ask our last contestants their answer."

OOC: But, on the episode that shall not be named, Twilight is seen doing a traditional hispanic tap-dance mirroring the waitor pony. The only difference I saw between this dance and the only other times I ever saw her dancing (Sweet and Elite, Party of One, Canterlot Wedding [reception]) is that the previous dances were all freestyle where as the other one is a set, traditional dance that one who can learn can do so. You can't learn freestyle and thus far I haven't had the opportunity to show her failing at Freestyle.
BIC: Twilight and Broly stood with the others and Seras cleared her throat, "Alright, final question." He looked to Bio, "What would you change about Junebug? Again, Broly and Iron Will were able to give us real answers and we let Skullboy off the hook but the crowds will be expecting a real answer from our newsworthy couple."

ooc: You make a fair point, but was this dancing she did part of a song? I assume you're talking about Magical Mystery Cure, honestly, from that episode onward I have a hard time recalling anything, for obvious reasons mainly. I don't really take it as part of her character if it was part of a song when I consider other evidence for her character. Remember that although all of them sing it's only Pinkie whose character is familiarized with singing. Or let me put it differently, if MMC is a musical like everybody says, then it's common for characters that doesn't dance to suddenly be able to dance. Now I agree that Twilight has the ability to learn how to dance, but my point is: Why would she learn how to dance? And that's where the check falls flat.
BIC: "I think I can give you not only a real answer, but one that I'm fully capable of doing." Bio told Seras. "And it's not even that hard a question to answer. More than anything, I want to change Junebug from a single pony, to a married pony." "Bio!" Junebug exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

OOC: Well, to quote you: "the show Twilight, not your Twilight that has obviously expanded some abilities" I'll expand on this to point out that my Twilight is not only mine but a two years advanced mine. The Twilight from Two Years back in time will match your description. Broly has had a lot of influence on her and one of those influences is a new inspiration for dance. That's why she's not had a problem going out dancing two nights in a row.
BIC: "Hmm, that's a very good answer. I have a hard time actually picking so let's leave it to Doofinshmirtz. My vote is for a Red card because... I don't know, I think such a strong couple deserve a strong challenge. If necessary Deep Thought can break the tie.

ooc: Well of course. I was only talking about the show Twilight, that's why I said that. My comment on the challenge was just to say that it was easier then the one Bio got and that the extra difficulty could come from Twilight and was also meant as a tongue-in-cheek kinda comment. Not to imply that your Twilight had difficulty dancing.
BIC: "That's actually really beautiful." Doof said with a sniff. "The only thing that was missing is if you were proposing to her for the first time. You know what! I think you should! If you propose to Junebug again on the show I'll give you a blue card." "Alright!" Bio nodded. He walked to Junebug, bend down on one knee and asked her again. "Junebug, my love, will you marry me?" Although it was easier for Bio this time to ask her, Junebug's reaction was still the same. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Junebug said jumping into Bio's arms. "And I'll never get tired of saying yes!"

The Crowd roared again and it was several minuted before they were quiet enough for Seras to speak. She wiped a tear from her eye, "Lovely, absolutely lovely." She said and drew a card and handed it to Doofinshmirtz, "Go on and give them their challenge. I'm convinced."

"Ah!" Doof said. "In this challenge the other girls will be joining you. This is also one of our most popular challenges. Junebug, you'll be putting on a fashion show for Bio. You'll be going backstage with the rest of the girls, where each girl will choose an outfit for you to wear which they think looks best on you. At the end Bio has to tell as which outfit you had on was the one you choose from all the other outfits." "Um, okay." Junebug said, feeling a bit self conscious.

"Sounds like a blast." Seras said and walked over to the curtain to let the girls behind it, "Girls, if you'd please. Doctor, could you occupy the guys for a bit while I work on things back here." Ruby, Gilda, and Twilight quickly followed behind Seras and behind the curtain.
