Game Show Girl (2)
[Last time on Pudgyville...]
"Just five minutes until Try Your Pony Luck is on," said Chloe excitedly.
"Before I forget, this came for you, Chloe," stated her mother before Chloe opened it.
"My one dream of being on a game show is about to come true," said Chloe before racing outside.
"Wow, Chloe. What?s gotten you so happy?" asked Mocha.
"Try Your Pony Luck, my favorite game show, is going to have a show right here in town," explained Chloe.
"Well good luck then. We?ll watch from the TV," continued Mocha. [2 hours later...]
"Are we ready to begin?" questioned the host.
"Yes we are," replied the players.
"May the best pony win," declared the host.
"I hope that?s me," thought Chloe.
"First question. When was "I Know You Gained Weight Last Week" released, 1999, 2000, 2001 or 2002?" questioned the host.
"2001," replied Chloe.
"Yep, 2001," agreed Tumble Fly.
"2001," echoed River Sweet.
"Correct, it was released in 2001 so Chloe gets 3 spins and the rest of you get 1. Now then, how many times per day does Try Your Pony Luck air on TV, 5 times, 10 times or 3 times?" continued the host.
"I?ll say 3 times," answered Tumble Fly.
"Of course, it?s 5 times," assured Chloe.
"I?ll go with Chloe and say 5 times," replied River Sweet.
"It is indeed 5 times so Chloe goes up to 6 spins and the rest of you are at two. Now we?ll move to the board to see which of you will have goodies to take home. Chloe, you?re up first with 6 spins. What?ll you do?" continued the host.
"I?ll take the first spin," replied Chloe before the board?s cursor moved.
"Well here we go. Good luck," stated the host before it stopped.
"Pause! Oh, 600 Buttons," stated Chloe.
"Not bad, Chloe. Are you willing to wager that amount and keep going or pass those spins?" replied the host.
"I don?t want to pass them so I?ll go again," answered Chloe before the cursor moves again.
"Uh-oh, that?s a Cash Craver and that means you?re back to 0. Spin again, Chloe?" remarked the host. [10 minutes later...]
"Well we?re down to just River Sweet, whom has 2 spins and the other players are out of spins and money. River Sweet, are you ready?" announced the host.
"Definitely," replied River Sweet before the board?s cursor moved.
"Just say pause when ready," noted the host.
"Pause! Oh my, a trip to Manecoon. I?ll give Chloe my last spin," continued River Sweet.
"Well Chloe, it?s up to you. Let?s see which of you goes home lucky," said the host.
"Pause! Oh wow, 1200 Buttons," replied Chloe.
"Unfortunately, the trip to Manecoon is 3000 Buttons so River Sweet has won the game. Thanks for being our contestants today," concluded the host.
"Oh well, it was a fun game. Nice job, River Sweet," remarked Chloe.
"You too, Chloe. You had the best luck out of all of us, well until the end," assured River Sweet.
"I guess I shouldn?t be surprised that I didn?t do well since it?s my first game show," figured Tumble Fly.
"Ours too. I didn?t think I?d do as well as I did. I was pretty nervous," nodded Chloe.
"Really? I thought it was just me," questioned Tumble Fly.
"We all were nervous and I think the Cash Craver only added to that," agreed River Sweet.
"Oh yeah and two of us had to face it directly, which I guess helped," replied Tumble Fly.
"I hope we can do this again some time," finished River Sweet.
"Perhaps next time, I can have a little more of cousin Clover?s luck in the game," thought Chloe.
