The Upcoming Quiz Show!
[The episode begins with Golden Apple taking a walk around the city, when he accidentally bumps into Emerald]

Golden Apple: Unh! Sorry for bumping into you.

Emerald: It’s fine.

Golden Apple: [notices his play on his switch] Say, what are you playing?

Emerald: Oh, I’m just playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Golden Apple: Oh, wow! It seems like you’re really good at the game!

Emerald: Thanks! I’ve been playing this game since its release, and I’ve gotten better at the game ever since.

Golden Apple: Well, maybe you can become a competitive gamer to earn some cash.

Emerald: Yeah. Good idea!

[A paper flies into Golden Apple’s face]

Golden Apple: [muffled] Stupid paper flying in my face. [takes the paper off his face and reads it] “The 4 Team quiz show is coming tomorrow night. If your team wins the quiz show, you will win a 1 month long cruise! You will need a team of 4 to sign up.” Wow! This is awesome!

Emerald: What is?

Golden Apple: Read this! This says if I have a team that wins the quiz show, My team gets to go on a 1 month long cruise!

Emerald: Awesome! Well, I won’t be there, unfortunately, since I’m already going on a trip to Orlando, Florida.

Golden Apple: It’s okay. I’ll get some of my friends and some other people as well. Cya!

Emerald: Bye!

Telling everyone else about it
Golden Apple: Okay, guys. Do you guys know why I called you into my mansion?

Zoey: No?

Grape Juice: No.

Mavis: Not really.

Golden Apple: Well, This paper advertises a quiz show! A quiz show where we need a team of 4!

Zoey: That’s cool and all, but what’s the prize?

Golden Apple: I’m glad you asked! If we win the quiz show, we can go on a 1 month long cruise! Ain’t that exciting!

[Everyone agrees, happily]

Golden Apple: Awesome! So, who’s with me?

Mavis: I am!

Golden Apple: Great! The quiz show is tomorrow night, though. So, I’ll meet you guys there.

Everyone: Okay. Bye!

Golden Apple: Lates!

Tonight’s Quiz Show!
Golden Apple: Woah…This place looks so unique!

Mavis: I know, right? Especially since we’re going on this cruise if we win!

Zoey: Agreed!

Microchip: Greetings and salutations, contestants!

Golden Apple: Contestants? I thought you were competing for the show too! Where’s the host at?

Microchip: [snickers and chuckles] You silly goose, I am hosting the show! Now, come on. Get to your stations.

Golden Apple: Huh?! He’s hosting? Wow. Whatever.

Leonie: Hi, GP!

Golden Apple: Hi, Leonie! I see you’re also competing for the show.

Leonie: Yep! There’s no way I’m missing out on this cruise!

Golden Apple: Us neither! Right, gang?

GP’s Team: [agrees]

Microchip: [appears on the giant TV in front of them] Hello, everyone! My name is Microchip, and I will be your host for today’s show, Micro’s Quality Quiz Show! So, 4 teams of 4 will have to answer 10 questions correctly! If one of them gets 3 of them correct, they win the cruise, and the other teams are disqualified. Without further ado, Let's start the quiz show! Ok! First question, when was the first telephone invented?

Golden Apple: [presses the buzzer] I know the answer! It’s, umm… Ummmmm….Gosh dang it! What was the answer to that? Give me a sec-

Oreo: [presses the buzzer] The answer is obviously 1876!

Microchip: Correct! Looks like The Smart Alecks get 1 point!

Golden Apple: Dang it!

Mavis: Are you serious? You didn’t know the telephone was invented in 1876?

Grape Juice: Come on! What was that?

Golden Apple: I’m sorry! I had no idea what the answer was!

Microchip: Ok! For the second question, what is 12 times 10 times 8 divided by 80?

Leonie: [Presses the buzzer] The answer is 12!

Microchip: Great job! The Baffling Birds get a point as well!

Nickel: I’m not trying to accuse you of something, but how did you get that right?

Leonie: Duh! I got an advanced diploma in math for a reason! That’s how! [chuckles] I guess you can call me a smart aleck! Am I right? [chuckles then begins laughing]

Oreo: Yeah, not funny.

Microchip: Question #3, Where is France located? This question requires you to be extra precise!

Golden Apple: [Presses the buzzer] It’s southwestern Europe!

Microchip: Oof…You are right, but it wasn’t completely precise.

Samantha: [Presses the buzzer] It’s located on the Iberian peninsula which is also located in southwestern Europe.

Microchip: Now, that’s precision at its finest! The Passionate Petunias get a point as well!

Mavis: Again? That required extra precision! And you knew that!

Grape Juice: The Iberian peninsula is also located on southwestern europe, in case you forgot!

Golden Apple: Seriously? Why are you guys so uptight with me right now? I didn’t know where the Iberian peninsula was located! I thought it was just located in southern Europe!

Mavis: [groans] This is so ridiculous! Try harder, bub! Or else our friendship is in jeopardy.

Golden Apple: [screams] No, not that! Anything but that! Okay! Yes, ma’am! I’m not gonna screw it up this time!

Microchip: Ok, next question, When was Sonic ‘06 released?

Grape Juice: [presses the buzzer] November 14th, 2006!

Microchip: Awesome! The Wacky Wafers get their first point!

Grape Juice: Finally! See, GP? That’s what happens when you get questions correct!

Golden Apple: No kidding, doofus! I know that much! I’m just worried about ruining my friendship with Mavis!

Zoey: She’s just upset about you getting those 2 questions wrong. She’ll forget all about it even if we do lose.

Golden Apple: You might be right, I’m just not too sure, though.

Microchip: Ok, Question #5, What is the term for believing in one god?

Medkit: [presses the button] Monotheism.

Microchip: Correct! The Smart Alecks have two points now! They other teams might wanna catch up with them! Anyways, Question #6, Where is the term for a person who has little to no romantic attraction?

Golden Apple: [presses the buzzer] Ay-Ar-Aro-A…

Microchip: (pleasingly) Ok?

Golden Apple: Arrowplex! DANG! I chickened out!

Oreo: [laughs] Excuse me for laughing, but Arrowplex! What?! [laughs again]

Microchip: Yeah, sorry, that’s wrong.

Mavis: [seethes] Golden Apple! You are such a disappointment! I don’t even think I wanna be friends with someone who holds us back!

Golden Apple: [starts sweating and laughs nervously] W-what do you mean?

Mavis: What I mean is that, we’re not friends anymore.

Golden Apple: [gasps] NOOOO! We’ve been friends for so long!!

Samantha: Ok, guys, if we wanna win, we gotta catch up!

Dish Soap: And how are we going to do that?

Samantha: With a little plan! (grabs Golden Apple’s buzzer and swaps it with a fake one)

Bell: Sam! What are you doing?

Samantha: What does it look like? I’m swapping the buzzer with fake ones so they don’t win.

Dish Soap: You can’t do that! That’s cheating!

Samantha: Well, what other choice do we have? Besides, if anyone’s winning this cruise, it’s us!

Bell: (sighs) Fine. But don’t get mad at us when we lose.

Microchip: Question #7, Who was the first president of the United States?

Samantha: [presses the buzzer] George Washington!

Microchip: Correct! The Passionate Petunias have another point! The Smart Alecks and The Passionate Petunias are neck and neck with each other! If they get just one more point, they win! Question #8, When was the first Sonic game released?

Golden Apple: [in his mind] Maybe I can redeem myself this time by getting this right! [presses the buzzer] 1991! [nothing happens] What the heck? 1991! [presses the buzzer] 1991! [presses the buzzer multiple times] 1991!! [Grape Juice just looks annoyed, and Mavis looks at Golden Apple sternly]

Dish Soap: [presses the buzzer] 1991!

Microchip: Correct! With 3 points, The Passionate Petunias have won the cruise, while the remaining teams have been disqualified!

Zoey: [looking gradually more mad] NO!

Microchip: What do you mean, “NO”?

Zoey: Because, The Passionate Petunias have been cheating!

Everyone: What?

Microchip: Yeah, I don’t think that’s true.

Zoey: Oh, really? Check the security footage and see for yourself! They swapped our teammates' buzzer for a counterfeit one!

Microchip: Really? Let me see. [looks at the footage] Wow. They really did cheat.

Dish Soap: They?! This was all Samantha’s idea!

Samantha: [chuckles nervously as her teammates look at her sternly] Umm…Well, you see, I’ve been hearing this voice in my head telling me to do it, so, yeah…

Microchip: Don’t try to lie to me. You cheated, and for that, you and your team are disqualified. While the remaining teams have won!

Golden Apple: Wait! Really?

Microchip: Yep!

[Everyone, except for The Passionate Petunias, cheer in excitement]

Golden Apple: Awesome! Even though I got the questions wrong on my end, we still won the cruise! Great! So, Mavis, I guess we’re on good terms again, right?

Mavis: Hmph! Hey, Zoey and Grape Juice! Let’s go on the ship!

Grape Juice: Gladly!

Golden Apple: Huh? Guys, wait up!

Microchip: Ok, everyone! Time to enter the ship!

Everyone: Ok.

The Luxurious Cruise!
Medkit: Wow! This place looks so luxurious! It’s like living in a 5 star hotel!

Oreo: Trust me. Other cruise ships do not look as good as this right here!

Leonie: Good point! I’m gonna go over there to that bounce house in that youth zone.

Medkit: Ok. See you there!

Golden Apple: This place looks awesome! Don’t you think? Look at all these rooms and stuff! Everything we could ever ask for!

(Mavis ignores him)

Golden Apple: (sighs in annoyance) Come on, Mavis. Don’t do this right now. Are you even acknowledging that I’m here right now?

(Mavis still ignores him)

Golden Apple: (gradually loses his temper) UGH! Really?! Are you gonna keep ignoring me this entire time, just because I got those questions wrong? I had no intention of getting them wrong! So why are you acting like this all of the sudden? Like, what on earth is wrong with you tonight? Geez louise! It’s like you don’t even care about me anymore.

(Mavis loses HER temper)

Mavis: Really? What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with YOU?! This is why we’re not friends now! Because you’re just useless and have no intelligence whatsoever! You could’ve nearly cost us the cruise! Luckily, Zoey stood up for us and called The Passionate Petunias out for cheating!

Golden Apple: Ok. don’t bring Zoey into this! The reason she stood up for us was because cheating was wrong on the Passionate Petunias’ end!

Mavis: It doesn’t matter! Like I said, you could’ve cost us this cruise, with all of these fancy things! Plus, this quiz show was your idea, so you should’ve been at least smart enough to know those questions! Just save your excuses! I don’t want to talk to you right now, so stop asking! Okay?

Golden Apple: [disappointed and hurt] O-ok. I’ll leave you alone. (Goes to the solarium)

Mavis: [sighs in annoyance] Thank you.

The Talk
[GP is seen in the solarium, sitting in the pool with a floaty, when he randomly hears those things Mavis said to him, and gradually gets more uncomfortable and nervous]

Zoey: Hi, GP!

Golden Apple: GAH! Oh, sorry. It’s you.

Zoey: Sorry if I scared you. Can I sit by you?

Golden Apple: Go right ahead. [Zoey sits next to Golden Apple]

Zoey: Well, why are you sitting HERE? There’s nobody here.

Golden Apple: I like sitting in quiet places whenever I’m upset, sad or angry. It soothes my nerves when I’m feeling that way.

Zoey: Well, what’s bothering you this time?

Golden Apple: Remember how Mavis stopped being friends with me earlier? Well, the thing is, I went to talk to her, but after I lost my temper, she told me I was useless and had no intelligence whatsoever.

Zoey: But that doesn’t mean any of us think that way about you.

Golden Apple: [teary-eyed and upset] This is not fair! Why is she so upset with me all of the sudden? I had no intention of getting those answers wrong! And no she doesn’t want to talk to me! I just want to be on good terms with her again, but that’s not gonna happen. [puts his head down and sighs sadly]

Zoey: [turns, looks mad, then sad] GP, it’s okay. Look at me. This entire thing wasn't your fault. Mavis is just being very unreasonable. She got mad at you for getting the answers wrong, but she shouldn’t have been that harsh on you. I know it gets frustrating when people are against you at times, but at the end of the day, you’ll always be a kind-hearted, brave and funny person. You’ve been kind to people all your life. You just have to stand up for yourself sometime, okay? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. You’ve been a great friend to me.

Golden Apple: [Wipes his tears] Wow. You really mean that?

Zoey: Of course.

Golden Apple: Thank you so much. You’re such a great friend

Zoey: Hey, anytime. Now how about we go to the youth zone for some fun at the bounce house, shall we?

Golden Apple: (snickers) Yeah. We don’t wanna die of boredom.

[GP and Zoey laugh]
