In Part 4 of the Grand Game of Give and Take there were 3 options the readers had to vote on. While one was chosen I also had written the other two, but never made them available to read. Here are the other two options (A) The Clubhouse - Non-Canon (B) The Library Basement- Canon (C) The Bowling Alley - Non-Canon   Option A ((Non-Canon)) >You’re currently reading through the Big Book of Turn Offs >Let’s see >Some ponies hate snakes …. >Flip the page, that won’t do >She likes all animals >You could exploit that, but hurting a rabbit is not something you’re willing to do again >Oh there’s a section on spit! >No, you just tried that….. >Flip through a few pages >What about… >Bad smell and filth? >…Nah, that’s gross >Maybe some time later >”Uh Mr.Anon?” >Look up from your book >Applebloom looks at you curiously >Her friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are with her Yes? >”Why are you in our clubhouse?” >You were hoping they wouldn’t use it on certain days >Wasn’t it a school day? >Oh well, it was dumb to think the schedule would be so consistent It’s just Anon, little filly. >Applebloom pouts >”I’m not a ‘little’ filly.” Sure, sure. As for why I’m here, well, I have a problem I need to fix. >They all sit down, curious and anxious to hear about it >Looks like they’re expecting an explination >How do you explain Fluttershy’s behavior to kids? Fluttershy likes me >Sweetie Belle looks confused >”But if she likes you isn’t that a good thing?” She “like likes” me….a lot >Applebloom and Sweetie Belle d’aaaaw And she keeps trying to get me to like her back >”That’s so romantic!” >Sweetie Belle squeaks >Applebloom nods >”Fluttershy is really cool and nice. I think ya two would go great together.” >Scootaloo sticks out her tongue >”Eeew, that is so mushy gushy…” >Mah filly Yeah, what she said. I don’t want to be with Fluttershy >”But she’s so nice!” >Sweetie Belle reasons >”She’s always willin’ to help.” >”Sometimes Fluttershy can be a bit lame.  But she has The Stare and can be really cool.” >Scootaloo admits       >They seem to admire her Look, she can be nice….but I just don’t want to be with her >Shrug Besides you can’t force two people- >”You mean two ponies right?” >”Sssh!” To be together… >Applebloom rubs her chin >”Yeah… I remember when we tried to help out Ms.Cheerilee.” >Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo nod in agreement >Scootaloo gasps in excitement >”Hey! We tried matchmaking and didn’t get our cutie marks. What if we help Anon and try the opposite?” >Sweetie Belle frowns >”Cutie Mark Crusaders Splitter-Uppers?” How about Human Helpers? >You chuckle >Applebloom shrugs her withers >”That works.” >Then at the top of their little lungs… >”CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS HUMAN HELPERS!” >You wince and cover your ears >You just hope they’ll actually be helpful >And that they’ll let you stay in the clubhouse End of Part 4   Option C ((Non-Canon)) >You hear some loud cheering >Ugh >Why did you come here? >It’s loud >Public >And cost you bits for admission >Sure you didn’t have to rent any stupid bowling shoes >But still >You can’t read >It’s not private here, and noisy >Fluttershy could have easily followed you here >It’s in a very well-known part of town >Oh well, she’s probably not cool enough to come here >The noise probably scares her off >You open up The Big Book of Fetishes >Only to hear more pins being knocked over >Screw it >Sigh >May as well give bowling a try >You pick up a bowling ball >You insert your fingers into the finger holes >Wait… >Why would bowling balls in Equestria have them? >What would ponies need them for? >Maybe you shouldn’t question these things out loud >Not when you don’t have the power to answer those questions, anyway >Part of you also is beginning to suspect that things work in this world because everyone believes it does or will work that way >This magical, happy, fairy world… >You grumble, and toss your ball >You knock out all the pins >Sweet >”You’re quite good Anon.” >Big Mac walks up to you Thanks, but this isn’t really my sport.

I don’t like her. She is annoying I just want her to leave me alone. >”Oh…..” Also, Applejack always inspires her to be more forceful and upfront >Big Mac chuckles >”Heheheh eeyup, that’s Applejack alright.” >Big Mac seems a bit reserved over the mention of romance >Maybe he’d be a good match for Fluttershy >It helps that they’re both ponies Would you like to go out with Fluttershy? >”Me? W-with Fluttershy? I already have a mare that I like, and Fluttershy is pretty bu-“ Okay, okay I get it >You pick up your book Well Big Mac, I’ve got reading to do >He inspects the title >”She must really be a problem to ya.” Eeyup >”Maybe I can help you, it ‘aint right to be so worked up over this.” That’d be great >He raises his hoof >You punch it >The both of you grin Come on, we’ve got work to do and cider to drink >Big Mac nods   End of Part 4
