[Dusk]

Awesome job for all involved! Thanks for posting the logs, Starlight!

[starlight]

One is pleased (and slightly exhausted) to be of service.

[Derpy]

Guess what! Was event on Monday afternoon of the Social that director's cut from logs! Sadly, this smoothie-mixing, ingredient-identifying challenge was cut short when the MUCK crashed, and by the time it was back half an hour later, too many players were unavailable to continue. Nonetheless, I bring you the log of: The Magical Mystery Mix!!

O YEE HAW! Today ain't no ordinary day at Sweet Apple O
O|O Acres! The farm's been kitted out for the Siblinghooves O|O
V Social, and there's a whole fairground here! There are V
tents with games like the ring toss and horseshoes, some
O stands with displays and contests like pie-eating and O
O|O corn-shucking, and dozens and dozens of balloons in all O|O
V the colors of the rainbow tied to every tip, spindle, V
and post! Banners and pennants fly from tent-poles and
O flagstaves all around. The air is filled with the smells O
O|O of roasted corn and freshly-baked apple and blueberry O|O
V pies, as well as the laughter of the many young fillies V
and colts bobbing for apples, playing with the livestock
O in their pens, and generally having a grand old time O
O|O with their brothers and sisters. O|O
V V
Off to the side with its very own bleachers and conces-
O sion stands is the grand obstacle course, a huge dirt U- O
O|O shaped track with all the traditional stations: mud pit, O|O
V half-barrels, tower of crates, pie-gobbling table, hay V
bales, grape pressing vats, benches and buckets for the
O apple-tossing, and finally a series of wooden hurdles. O
O|O Banners mark the start and finish lines, and in the O|O
V middle of the U stands a wooden platform from which Big V
Macintosh and Granny Smith officiate the grand race.

Thunderfire gives her a hoof bump in return, "Yeah! Here." he gives a signed copy that was made out especially for Scootaloo, "This one is definitely yours."

Applejack appears from the house pushing a cart FULL of pies. "Medley's a friend of ours. She's a kind of on-again-off-again singin' star. Howdy, Sea Breeze! Ah was wonderin' if'n Ah'd see y'all around."

Scootaloo beeeeams. "Wow. Thanks, brony. Seriously." Looking at Sea Breeze, she blinks, and tuts. "You should know who Medley is. She's only one of the coolest pegasi in town! Thunderfire here's got a famous mom so we get HEAPS of free stuff. You know Vinyl Scratch?"
Scootaloo says "Oh hey, Applejack!"

Applejack stocks the pie booth, then trots up to the young ponies. She ruffles Scootaloo. "Howdy, Scootaloo! Thunderfire! What're y'all up to?"

"Oh! Heya there, Applejack! Nice ta see ya again!" Sea Breeze waves a wing at the pie-toting mare and promptly goes all woopy-loopy in the air for a moment as she remembers waving with a wing is a bad move while hovering. "Vinylllll.... oh, yeah, I think I ran into her in her studio when I first got to Ponyville! Gosh, I think." Sea Breeze considers with a blinkblink.

Thunderfire pats the box he brought, "Mom sent some [45s] to be handed out. Her new single that includes Medley. She signed these." he looks over to Breeze not really recalling her but he sees a lot of ponies in and out of the studio. "Wouldn't it be cool if I could talk mom and Medley into singing it LIVE! Here at this even." he glances back to Scoots.

Applejack grins. "Vinyl? Ya mean Vinyl Scratch? Heh heh. *There's* an interestin' pony."

Scootaloo clutches the [record] proudly. "Totally! Will she be around later? We should ask her to do an impromptu concert!" Grinning at AJ, the filly's wings buzz behind her with excitement. "Vinyl's *awesome*. She said she's gonna give me proper drumming lessons. I wish I had a mom like her - you're SO lucky, Thunder."

Sea_Breeze strumstrums idly before glancing back (well, upside-down) at Applejack. "I wish I remember! I -think- she was pretty interesting. I think." Hum hum hum. But really she can't remember much past last week. "Well, I gotta float! I'm late for... somethin'. Aloooohaaaa, ponies!" And Sea Breeze flaps back off into the air and departs. At the rate she flies, the meeting is probably in an hour or two.

Derpy shouts "All right! We're looking to start something on the Acres if we can. Anyone here want to join us? And is anyone up for playing one of my characters' siblings?"

Sea_Breeze has disconnected.

Day Two, and Granny is no longer confined to her rocker. She's a bit more sprightly today, having had a morning constitutional, whatever that entails for her. "Aaah. Fresh aiir, mixed up with a passel o' niice smells." She stretches and then calls to the responsible one. "Applejack! Ain't it time you brought out that confounded pedal blender y'borrowed fer the food swap?"

Applejack looks over at Granny. Then back to the children. She wispers to them, "'Scuse me. It's 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'!" - then straightens up and trots over to Granny. "Me? Ah thought Mac was gettin' that thing! It weighs more'n a locomotive! But Ah can get it if'n he ain't around." She looks around - where IS the big red lunk?

[long discussion about who will play whom and team up with whom]

Just at that moment, Mac's heavy hoofsteps of Big Macintosh can be heard emerging from the barn, behind him a wagon full to the brim with cider barrels, replacements for the empties that were drank by teh contenstants yesterday, either that, or the princesses, given their love of Sweet Apple Acres cider.

Applejack hugs Apple Bloom! "What's th' matter, honey?"
"Don't axaggerate," drawls Granny to Applejack. "That gizmo's a quarter-locomotive at moast!" She then clamberclacks over toward Macintosh. "Eh, Mac? What'd'ya say y'bring out that pedal blender so's we can blend up some driinks? Applejack, y'all fecth the carrot juice!"

Applejack nods. "Right y'are, Granny." she says, then canters off to the cider house. She returns in a few moments with a cart loaded with a couple of barrels marked with a carrot logo. My, but Sweet Apple Acres has a LOT of carts and wagons!

Derpy wanders back toward the farm for the second day of fun. Wandering, for her, means a mixture of walking, flying, and bouncing as she keeps her wings and legs both going sporadically. When she's chatting with her half-sister, she just can't concentrate on doing only one thing at once. "And then?" Derpy is saying. "Had to deliver ~gyroscope~ to Manehattan! Have hearded of?"

Ditzy Doo blinks slowly. "Yeah! I know manehattan!" she says. "It's... The big place... The big city that's not canterlot! Right?"

Derpy nods enthusiastically! "Is geo-lesson," she says, coming down to walk briskly for a few yards. "Canterlot? Is magnificat. But Maaaanehaaattan?" She leaps to fly upside-down now. "...is BIG!" Out go her wings, and Derpy plummets again.

Big_Mac only takes a few minutes to move the barrels over, hefting them onto his back one at a time and stacking them neatly by the cider stand that had been relocated for the festivities. His ears perk and lift with his head as he hears his name, chuckling lightly as he joins his sister and granny. Smiling at the suggestion he nods. "Eeyup!" he agrees, taking the now empty wagon back toward the barn where the blender is kept.

Diving for Derpy! It's the latest craze! Ditzy Doo is certainly into it, diving to try and catch her half-sister before she hits the ground. "What is the next event?" she asks, pronking happily along.

Scootaloo suddenly finds everything's become rather busy. She hasn't even finished with her bunting! Oh well. Let the adults do it, I say.

Rainbow_Dash zips along the skies above as she makes her way towards the festival grounds. There had been a big tropical storm that got misplaced a few days back and she had to come along and help yesterday. Today, though, there's no trouble, so she's free to spend time with her honourary little sis! Well, if she can find her. "Yo, Scoots!" she calls out, come low and hovering right above the buntings. "Where are- there you are!"

Derpy is fortuitously caught! She gives Ditzy an affectionate slurp and sprints ahead to the clearing, looking it over. "...is gigantic mixer?" she says with rising alarm, watching the device get pulled out. "Maybe all mix-ed together??" o.O

"Dash!" Finally. Somepony *sane* and *awesome* turns up - besides Scootaloo herself, of course! The orange pegasus rushes over to her multicoloured almost-sister. "We're gonna show these other guys what REAL sisterhood is!" she says proudly. "Well, as real as we can make it."

Applejack looks around. "Now where th' hay'd AB get to..." A familiar flash of cerulean passes by! "Hay howdy, Rainbow! Y'all here fer th' social! We missed ya yesterday!" She breaks into a grin. "Ah had ta do all the winnin'! With AB, o' course."

"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash declares, giving her kinda-sister a hoofbump. We're so totally gonna /rock/ this....uh..." She blinks and glances around. "...What're we gonna do, exactly?"

Scootaloo says "I have absolutely no idea."

"Err... all right," says Granny after a certain amount of peering backwards through a spyglass and various consultations. "A-so...we're got ourselves FOUR teeams, for this here challenge. Now lissen up, 'cause this here's one o' my fav'rites." She readjusts her megaphone. "We got ourselves a whole fancy board'f ingredients here, ta go along with carrot juice." The elderly mare smiles slyly. "Not ALL'f them go so well, mind. Each team is gonna secretlike pick three of them, blend'em up with our hoof-powered contraption, and then give it to the next team. Now THAT team gets five points fer getting the whole blend down, an' one point fer guessing each ingredient they manage t'guess correct-like. Then if we got time, we switch around and each team... gets their sweet reveenge." Another slow grin.

Thunderfire has left.

<OOC> Derpy figures that each team will give their receiving team hints about the color, consistency and flavor without explicitly saying what the ingredients are.

Ditzy Doo smiles and slurps back. "Mixer! I can mix things!" she says happily. She drags Derpy over to the board and ooohs at the list of ingredients.

Derpy goes with Ditzy to where a whole assortment of fun foods are laid out neatly, with labels. She oooohs along with Ditzy, her head and neck traveling in a slow circle as she takes it all in. Her voice is just a minor third lower.

Rainbow_Dash listens carefully. Oh, a tasting contest! "Not too bad; I eat lots of different food! What about you, Scoots?"

Scootaloo hmms, a smirk emerging on her face. "Time to get a TASTING CUTIE MARK, I think!" she exclaims with gusto. Because that's a thing.

Big_Mac is only gone a few minutes when a sharp squealing is heard, not that of a pig but more metal on metal, the sort that sounds like wheels that haven't turned in awhile. It only lasts for a few moments befrore the giant blender emerges from the barn, with Mac hitched to the front of the wheeled machine, the big stallion straining a little, but nothing he can't manage.

============================
INGREDIENTS: Pears, bananas, watercress, [BUY SOME CELERY] seed, alfalfa, canteloupe, daisy blossoms, Tabasco sauce, poached eggs, green apples, black pepper, eggplant, onions, kale, saurkraut, gummi worms, pumpkin, angelfood cake, red grapes, rhubarb, cinnamon.
============================

<OOC> You say, "If you really want to use an ingredient not on the list, page me to clear it with me first. "
<OOC> Scootaloo says, "All of them TOGETHER?!"
<OOC> Starlight says, "Select three, or come up with something."

Ditzy is luckily more than capable of knowing what's good to eat! She whispers to her sister-half and nuzzles, whispering.

Applejack spends a few moments peering at the ingredients, then calls back. "Bloom's run off. Ya in, big brother? Hay, Granny, who's feedin' who? Got it sorted or d'ya need some help?"

The huge blender has four stations in a big square, and a complex set of shiny gears that redirect the power from a pony pedaling on a seat into a tiny bunch of teeth turning and mashing up food in a receptacle, with a pestle pounding it from above for good measure.

In a page-pose to you, Match_Maker thinks... "Pears, Bananas, and grapes! Those go well with carrot juice!"

Scootaloo hmmmmms... then clambers up onto Dash's back and whispers the most delightfully cruel combination of ingredients she can think of.

Ditzy Doo happily points to the bananas, her mouth watering. "Deliciousness bananas!" she says aloud.

Derpy throws her whole forebody over DItzy and tackles her to the ground--gently. "Shhhh, DItzy! Is ~secret!~"

Rainbow_Dash listens and grins wickedly! "Heheheheh excellent!" She walks over to the blender station and peeks at it. "Uh...how does this work?"

The blender rrr's a little at Rainbow for just a second.

While Applejack waits for Granny, she takes a moment to show Rainbow Dash how the blender works - giving it a little kick in pasing for its insolence. "It's easy. Y'all just pour th' ingredients in here," - she indicates the central tub - "then up ta four ponies pedals these parts all around, which spins th' mixer blades. Shouldn't take more'n half a second in yer case!"

Ditzy squeaks up at Derpy, nodding energetically. "Okay! I got it! Hush hush fizz fizz!"

[Derpy]

Two navy blue flashes of light dart in and out of the ponies and right up to the blender.
Rainbow_Dash smirks. "I gotcha, AJ, and yeah, I'm definitely gonna race ahead everypony!"
Granny finally finishes checking her notes and replies to Applejack. "Ehh? Oh. Eyeah, you two're cookin' up somethin' fer the ditzy ones, an' they're making somethin' for the blue one an' the orange kid, and they're mixin' for my granchildren."

Applejack stares at Rainbow for a moment and gulps. She heard that laugh.

One of the navy blue blobs of light - now revealed to be two very small colts, lifts a hoof!

"Excuse me, ma'am," he says, in possibly one of pony kind's cutest voices ever heard.

Just outside the doors to the barn Mac finally gets the whole contraption rolling at a good clip, not to mention with a bit of its own momentum as he hauls it up to the spot arranged for it and where the competition is to take place. He slows it to a halt, using a bit of his muscle to lean into it, slowing that momentum to a stop and leaving him to flump lightly onto his rump, giving a brief brush of his brow from the warmup. "phew!" he says as he turns his attention to AJ. "In 'fer what?" he asks, looking a bit surprised.

Rainbow_Dash blinks at the blue flashes. "Uh...what?"

<OOC> Starlight stares at tiny blue hologram colts? "'Help me, Pony-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!'"

The more confident of the blue colts stands up a little taller. That is, stands on his twin brother. "I am Callisto Galaxy and this is my brother Castor. May we please join in?" Look at them! So tiny and cute! They couldn't be up to any mischief at all.

<OOC> Starlight says, "... Castor has a twin, not named Pollux?"

Derpy whispers loudly and throws up her wings in excitement from her secret station.

<OOC> Scootaloo says, "I know, I know. XD"
<OOC> Scootaloo says, "Pollux isn't a particularly nice name for a pony, though."

"... t mEeE..." says Derpy, hidden. [She was replying "But mEeEAan!" to Ditzy's whispered suggestion of using tobasco sauce.]

"Errr," says a newly confused Granny. "Well, ho-kay." She squints at the little blue things. "Those two on a healthy diet?" she asks whoever's nearest. "Sure, sure, you two heard the rules? You fellas can mix for Rainbow and the... the squirt? An' then, Derpy an' Ditzy can mix for Castor an... what wuz yer name? Callisto?"

Scootaloo blinks as another pair shows up. Fair enough - just more ponies to beat! "We've got this in the bag, Dash," she whispers to the multicoloured mare. "Those two are barely out of diapers, and we'll have no problem with Derpy and Ditzy, and as for AJ and Mac... well, they just have to be beaten."

Derpy smiles broadly! "Froobermon!!" she agrees. She selects some ingredients and heads for the blender.

Applejack takes a step back, startled by the sudden appearance of speedy sapphire stallions! Well, stallions-to-be. But she rallies quickly. "Well howdy there! 'Course y'all can! This here's the Siblin'hooves Social! Ah'm Applejack, this here's mah brother Big Macintosh, and over there lookin' like she ate all our lemons is mah grandmother, Granny Smith!" She pauses for a moment. These guys are awfully young. "Say, Ah don't s'pose y'all's parents are anywhere around?"

Ditzy Doo spreads her wings, shielding her sister from view as she inches towards the blender. "NO PEEKING!" she bellows, hitting a 5 on the Luna scale.

<OOC> Scootaloo says, "The Luna scale is a thing? XD"

Granny misses a beat, looking around. "Well where \did\ our lemons all git to?" she objects weakly.

<OOC> Starlight says, "No, Luna just goes up to 11."

"Definitely," Rainbow Dash whispers to Scootaloo. "We've got this in the bag, Scoots!" She's a little wary of those two small colts, though; they seemed to be hiding something!

Memoire Musique waddles in, yawning quietly... She instantly waddles over to Scootaloo, climbs up on her back, and settles down for a nap. Tiny foal is light and adorable.

<OOC> Memmy knows her Mommy, whatever form she takes.

Mud! Cucumbers! Funny ha...oh, they're too late. Aloe and Lotus (or is it Vera?) come skidding back to the party ground, sparkling, glistening and bright-eyed like yesterday didn't even happen. But their faces fall- "All filled?" "No more room?" The twins huddle.

Castor squeaks a little, and Callisto eventually gets off him and floats upwards. "Our sister Comet should be coming soon. But we don't need her! We're big enough to do this on our own." The colt grins, and his twin looks uncertain but nods politely.

"Eh, sorry, ladies... only four spots on the mixin' machine." She eyes the huge silver monstrosity with trepidation. "Mebbe next year we'll go a \mite\ smaller."

Applejack raises an eyebrow at Granny Smith. "Aw shucks, Granny! We can always do two quick mixin's. Ah can clean out a spot in two shakes!"

Scootaloo blinks as she feels something warm curl up on her back. "Oh hey, Mems," she says with a grin. "You gonna help us win?"

Big_Mac finishes chocking the the wheels of the blender and takes his place next to AJ just as she greets some of the contestants, giving her a brief glance, Mac turns to the smaller ponies and gives a little salute of the hoof and a smile, chiming in agreement to Applejack with a trademarked "Eeyup!"

Derpy gingerly drops in her three ingredients while Ditzy shields her from peeking. She then smiles and gives a little nod. "Want to mix?" she asks, gesturing toward the pedals.

Rainbow_Dash is doing some stretching exercises. She's gonna totally cream the competition!

Applejack thinks Dash has mistaken this game for a race...

Team Mudbath breaks their huddle. "No, it's okay!" "No problem!" Lotus reaches waaaay offscreen and yanks in a cart covered with mortar and pestles, bowls, and avocado. "Er...do you need any more ingredients?" They sport a pair of big, sparkly identically mirrored grins. If a pony can't do fun, she might as well do business.

Rainbow_Dash treats everything as a race! Which might be the cause of some problems.

Derpy reposts the list of ingredients...
============================
INGREDIENTS: Pears, bananas, watercress, [BUY SOME CELERY] seed, alfalfa, canteloupe, daisy blossoms, Tabasco sauce, poached eggs, green apples, black pepper, eggplant, onions, kale, saurkraut, gummi worms, pumpkin, avacados, angelfood cake, red grapes, rhubarb, cinnamon.
============================

Ditzy Doo happily helps her sister load up the ingredients. "This will be so much yummy!" she says with a chirp of delight.

Derpy decides to compromise. She goes over to the right pedal and puts her left hind leg into it. "One pedal ~each~," she offers amiably to Ditzy.

Ditzy Doo nods eagerly. "Okay! A one, two, a one two three ZOOM!" she says, beginning to work the pedal with her sister half.

Applejack begins to select ingredients. She gives Rainbow Dash a dark grin in passing. "Ya do realize yer competin' against Apples fer *eatin'* stuff, right?" Then she dumps them into one of the hoppers. "Hay Mac! Saddle up! Git along now, we got us some winnin' ta do!"

Derpy pedals the wrong way at first. The blender seems to burp.

Derpy's eyes goggle and she chuckles self-consciously. "Sorr-ie."

Casto picks gummi worms, daisy blossoms and canteloupe!

Callisto thinks. And thinks. But he does the talking, not the thinking! "You choose." he says finally to his brother.

<OOC> Starlight says, "Don't DO that! Seeecret!"
<OOC> ProgrammerPony acks!
<OOC> Starlight says, "Half the game is guessing ingredients!"
<OOC> You say, "We'll pretend in any case."
<OOC> Scootaloo says, "Well, ICly the others aren't meant to know. XD But I guess it doesn't matter OOCly."

Rainbow_Dash smirks back at Applejack. "I know, but it wouldn't be a big challenge if it wasn't over something you're good at!" With that, she walks over to her pedal, rears back and strains mightily, and... carefully follows the necessary pattern. Round and round and up and down.

<OOC> Big_Mac confirms that th' blendin' seat is more like a bicycle than' a treadmill like on th' cider press?
<OOC> Applejack says, "Eeyup!"
<OOC> Big_Mac giggles, imagining Mac on a bicycle.

Scootaloo, Memmy still attached to her back, trots over to the blender and picks a pedal next to Dash. "Let's do some winning!" she says with a grin, before pushing down and around.

Memmy wakes up a little and blinks sleepily. "Yay! Go Dash! Go Scoot!" she cheers sleepily, yawning. With such an adorable cheerleader, they can't lose!

Starlight pages, "Milk. Tabasco sauce. [BUY SOME CELERY] seed. Guess what too much vinegar-based tabasco sauce does to milk? " to you.

"Hoow's it comin'?" asks Granny Smith, hobbling over. "We got ourselves some li-bations, or wut?"

Big_Mac gives another salute to AJ and grins, especially as his sister talks a bit of smack with her friend. Taking his place, after a moment of fiddling with the seat and bars. It's tough being a stallion as big as he and on those /tiny/ seats. Wiggling into the slightly cramped arrangement, Mac lowers his cider' pressing goggles and begins peddling, first at a steady pace, getting the gears meshing and the momentum going, ready to give it good once the real blending gets started. "Ready AJ!" he says deeply.

...okay. So they don't need any more ingredients. No probelm. ALoe just hangs out a sign on the front of the cart: 'FREE SAMPLES.' Someday, somewhere, somepony will chip a hoof, or get a dirty smudge on her face, or get covered in tree sap and pine needles. And when that day comes...she'll be there.

Callisto gasps! The younger Galaxy twins can't be out-adorabled! "Quick, Castor, be more cute!" Cuteness is a weapon these two are used to using by the bucketload.

"Whoa, hey there, Memmy!" Rainbow Dash says, finally noticing the little foal hanging onto Scoots. Honestly, there seems to be a lack of parental supervision here, but whatever: she's got a contest to win! She keeps working her pedal until their chosen blend is nice and slushy. The Apples are in for a big surprise!

Castro flops down on his rump, his tail curled up to his side, his forehooves tucked snug against his chest. He peers up at Big Mac, long ears slowly drooping, lower lip quivering oh-so-slightly, and eyes at wide.

Callisto meanwhile, is trying so hard to move his pedal by an inch. It isn't going so well.

Castro tries to help by jumping on the pedal!

Applejack grins and closes the hopper. The ingredients are in there, ready to be turned into something... well, something STARTLING, probably. "Go, Mac, Go! Hay, free samples!" She trots over to the spa ponies, and immediately chomps up a stack of their cucumber slices! "Much obliged!" she says, chewing.

"Somepony help out those little ones... the pedal's too big for 'em," pleads Granny.

Applejack swivels an ear? "Sure thing, Granny! Wouldn't be sportin' not to!" And so she ends up pedalling too, right next to Big Mac.

The Galaxy twins are suddenly hoisted onto the back of a pegasus mare while she does the physical work for them. Of course, the mare is their big sister Comet! She offers a grin to Applejack, "Brothers, am I right?"

Derpy and Ditzy manage to get their concoction mostly blended, one pedal each. "There!" It's still a little chunky.

Scootaloo tries going a little faster. Isn't sure what she's meant to achieve by going faster, but speed is always good. "Almost... done..." she pants. "How's it coming, Dash...?"

Applejack OOF! Collides with Comet, then backs off a couple of steps. She fixes her hat. "Different when it's little ones, Ah reckon."

"All righty! Now pour the next team 'round the corner a niice generous glass o' whatever you done whipped up!" announces Granny.

Ditzy Doo happily pedals away, humming to herself as she keeps pedaling a few seconds longer. "Pedaling is fun! Pedaling is so fun! Now it's time to take a break and see what we have done! Yay! It's ready!"

Rainbow_Dash is starting to strain a little; she doesn't exercise /those/ muscles too often. "I'll be all right!" she answers quickly, but she's starting to sweat a little as the mixture gets more viscous.

The Apple team's mixture isn't nearly so chunky, and doesn't present much of a problem to Mac's massive mixing muscles!

Scootaloo peddles for a few more moments before concluding with a flop on the floor that it's ready. "Let's... do... this..."

Comet swiftly apologises for causing the farming mare to collide with her, and soon her little brothers' concoction is also ready. She hovers up above them and smirks. "That is all the help you are receiving." As... delightful as the challenge looks, Comet isn't so keen on guzzling any of these cocktails.

Ditzy quite happily helps her sister pour the goop into a couple of glasses and pass them over to the Galaxy Twins!

Derpy hoofbumps with her sister! The mixture is gloppy, brown and mixed in texture.

<OOC> You say, "Each team describes their drink for the next team, and then describes the feel and taste of it once they drink! That can be in a page or public."

When somepony has a bad mane day, she'll be there. When somepony needs a tail extension and needs it hush-hush, she'll be there! When somepony just wants a day away from it all, to do some introspection-- "Ooh! Lotus, look! They're making smoothies." "OooOOOoooh."

Derpy's smoothie is more of a speedbumpy.

Once the lid is on, Mac opens the taps, leaning forward and putting his weight into it as he uses those massive haunch muscles to power their blender, pumping hard and his legs turning into a red and yellow blur as he works, if he were going much faster the blender would be liable to take off on its own, its' blades whirring audibly within, turning AJs ingredients into practically a rich, frothy smoothie!

Rainbow_Dash takes several breaths as she recovers. That was a bit tricky! But now the task is done, and now all that's left is to pour the violetish, spicy-smelling mixture into a glass for the Apples.

Ditzy smiles as she hoofs over the mixture. It tastes fairly fruity and sweet, with a definite spice to it, though it's not bastaco sauce!

Mac grins to his sister as she comes up next to her, he gives her a little tip of his head. Apples always work best when competing side by side, even when they're on the same team. (almost missed that bit!)

Scootaloo cackles as she watches Rainbow pour the glasses out. "This is gonna be *great*!" she smirks. Muahaha. Muahaha. MuahahahahAaaaar

<OOC> Derpy wants a bass taco now. o.u
<OOC> Celestia does too. o.o
<OOC> Scootaloo wonders if Vinyl can cook bass tacos.
<OOC> Fluttershy says, "She always drops them."
<OOC> Scootaloo says, "Well, that sucks."

Derpy goes to check out what this red-yellow mixtures Mac and AJ created for them might be. She sniffs! And sliiides the glass over to Ditzy.

Applejack nods to Comet and stands by as Mac whips their sensations slurry into a froth! When he finishes, she pours it out into two disturbingly large glasses - reddish-yellow, creamy, and slowly separating as though filled with hundreds of tiny floating pieces!

At this point, sadly, the MUCK went down and the event was lost. Is dreamlike tragedy--all this work into goodie to consume, but just before you get to drink--*Wake Up!!*

Still, Scootaloo said she'd had a blast getting to participate in an event for once, even if it didn't get to finish. :>
