At night, Spike is worried that Twilight might not get the sleep she needs so he tries to force her to go to bed, only to find that she's already planning on going to bed, but her strange "Twilighting" personality remains. The next, the two walk to the Ponyville Community Center to play, Spike decides to watch and laments that he could never be her partner since he'd mess it up. While in the center, Twilight goes over all the ponies and their strengths and weaknesses and then Pinkie Pie enters the room. As Pinkie has never played a single game, Twilight is nervous since she throws out the statistical odds.

As fate would have it, Twilight is paired with Pinkie Pie and Spike becomes the scorekeeper. Applejack and Sunburst tried to warn him but the presenter, Granny Smith lets him be the scorekeeper anyway. As the game begins, Pinkie Pie messes up her first answer, giving her team -1 points. As teh game goes on, Twilight tries to "coach" Pinkie Pie herself but they constantly miss points. Spike tries to tell her she should focus on her own answers, but Twilight instead tries to sabotage Pinkie and even get her opponents eliminated from the game by telling Granny Smith of the obscure rules they broke. This eventually causes Pinkie Pie to be eliminated and to be replaced with Sunburst, who was previously eliminated as his partner, Cranky Doodle Donkey, was caught sleeping in the middle of the game.

After Sunburst uses the same mean-spirited tactics Twilight used, she and Sunburst both realize the error of their ways and Twilight tries to make it up to Pinkie Pie. The two join teams once again, but have to start at zero, but vowel to simply have fun instead of trying to win.
