A New Challenge by ImoutoCommissions

Chapter 1

A few months after the rather eventful sleepover in which Scootaloo did 
the impossible and out-held both her friends and six older girls, the 
three friends were planning for a visit from Applebloom's cousin, Babs 
Seed. She had been an honorary member of their club for a while, and 
they planned to use that as an excuse for a new challenge they had been 
developing since said sleepover. They were going to do a much more 
advanced holding contest, and claim that that would be her initiation.

One thing they had noticed was that the amount each girl had been able 
to hold was different, and that merely the length of a hold wasn't 
enough to determine bladder strength. So they decided it would be a 
contest on two fronts: they would measure both time and amount and use a 
point system to decide which girl was the overall winner. First of all, 
they would receive one point for every girl they outlasted, and when 
they were about to lose, they had to go in buckets, that would be 
measured at the end, and another point would be awarded for the volume.

And that was just the beginning of the rules! The girls had put so much 
work into planning, and had gotten everything together for their 
challenge. All that was left was to convince Babs, but they were sure 
that it wouldn't take much to get her to agree to it, especially 
considering they were using it as her official initiation.

~X~

On the day that she arrived, the girls ushered her to their tree house 
almost immediately, barely giving her enough time to even put her bags 
down. They were too excited about their plans, though to everyone else 
it just looked like they were excited to see their friend after so long 
and eager to catch up.

When they were alone, Babs immediately noticed the four buckets with a 
line drawn in front of them and said, "What's up with those?"

"Well, we decided that today would be a great day to make you an 
official member of the club," said Sweetie Belle.

"And that's part of yer initiation!" continued Applebloom.

"Pretty exciting, huh?" asked Scootaloo.

Babs did not look convinced. "What exactly does my initiation have to do 
with a buncha buckets?"

"Well, see we were in this contest a few months back with my sister and 
her friends," started Applebloom, before telling the whole story. When 
she got to the part about Scootaloo winning, the girl beamed and 
boasted, until Applebloom interrupted her to finish. "So, anyway, we're 
gonna do something like that with you to initiate you!"

"That sounds ridiculous!" Babs said, shaking her head. "There's no way 
I'm doing something like that."

"I can understand that," said Scootaloo. They had already planned for 
their response, and she went with what they had decided she would say. 
"I mean, with someone like me competing? I would be intimidated too, if 
I were you."

"I'm not intimidated!" said Babs, just as they had predicted. She took 
no further goading and simply said, "What's the rules for this one? I'll 
pass this initiation with flying colors, just to shut her up!"

They explained to her the point system and the purpose of the buckets, 
as well as a rule that stated they could not go to the buckets until 
they had leaked. They could not pee in the buckets before they had begun 
to wet themselves, and therefore if any of them crossed the line, it 
would count as a forfeit. Besides that, they had to strip to their 
panties, have a round of drinks every fifteen minutes, and would do 
little mini-challenges to further test bladder endurance. If Babs scored 
a three or higher, she would pass the initiation.

"First, we all go to the bathroom, so we start out on even footing," 
said Scootaloo.

"Yeah, about that..." Sweetie Belle said nervously.

"What?"

"We kinda decided that since ya won the other contest, you shouldn't get 
one. It's more even that way."

"What?! That's so not fair!" she said, outraged.

Of course, Babs, who wasn't even in on the planning for this event, knew 
exactly how to push back. "What? Miss Reigning Champion scared?"

"I am not scared! Fine, jeez, I won't go first."

~X~

After their bathroom breaks and their first round, the girls stripped to 
their panties and began doing dares, though at first, there wasn't much 
problem for any of them. It wasn't until about the fifth round that they 
started to feel the effects of their drinks, and though she wouldn't 
admit it, Scootaloo knew that she was feeling it a bit harder than the 
other girls.

"Alright, it's my turn to dare since I did it last time," Sweetie Belle 
said, grinning. "And I dare Scootaloo!" The young girl tried not to 
grown as she was singled out. "I want you to do cartwheels!"

She smirked, playing it cool and saying, "That's all you've got for me? 
No problem!" But she secretly felt a bit nervous, knowing that this 
would be rather hard on her rapidly filling bladder. She got into 
position and began cartwheeling around the tree house, hissing a bit 
whenever she stumbled or fell, as this jostled her bladder almost enough 
to push her over the edge.

Her last fall caused her to leak just enough to leave a tiny spot on her 
orange panties, and she hoped that nobody noticed and counted her out 
straight away. Luckily, the kitchen timer they had snagged to tell them 
when to take drinks went off at that moment and the others were more 
distracted by getting that situation sorted out.

They passed around drinks, and she was relieved to notice that she was 
not the only one cringing as she downed it. Perhaps she would not lose 
as terribly as she thought she would today. At least, knowing that she 
hadn't emptied out beforehand like they had, she had a feeling that even 
if she lost control first, she would still probably do well in the 
volume portion of the contest.

After the drinks had been completed, they waited a few moments before it 
was time to begin the dares again. Scootaloo smirked and said, "Alright, 
it's my turn. Babs, I dare you to do a handstand until the next round!"

"No sweat!" she replied, and got on the ground, pushing herself up in 
the air by her hands. However, her balance was off, and she quickly fell 
backwards. She tried to get back up, but fell again, feeling a small 
dribble escape. She got back up again and managed to maintain her hold 
for a while, but then fell, face down this time.

The sudden landing on her front placed a great deal of pressure on her 
bladder, and she sprung up, jamming her hands between her legs. The 
other girls giggled as they watched her squirm and struggle for control, 
bouncing at her knees. When she removed her hands, there was a small 
dark spot on her light brown panties.

"Yer gonna lose!" taunted Applebloom.

"Not a chance," said Babs, blushing at the teasing. The timer went off 
again at that moment and the girls all groaned a bit. None of them felt 
like their bladders could take any more, but with everyone still in the 
running, there was no way to tell what would happen next.

Chapter 2

The girls finished up their round of drinks, all going a bit more slowly 
this time than usual due to the immense pressure on their bladders. They 
all began wondering how to push themselves into the lead, and thinking 
up awful dares should their turn come up again.

However, it really was Babs' turn and she turned on Sweetie Belle. 
"Since I can't get back at Scootaloo for that one, I'll get back at you 
for daring her first! I dare you to stand in a ballet pose, with one leg 
up and standing on your toes with the other!"

"O-okay," she said nervously, getting up and getting into said pose, her 
leg at waist level as she tried to balance on her toes. She was clearly 
shaking, and though she grew ever more desperate, she knew that she 
could not move at all or she would lose her balance completely.

The other girls watched as she struggled to maintain the pose, each 
desperately wishing for her to wet so that they would not be the first 
ones to lose that portion. When a dark spot began to spread across her 
white panties, she squealed and broke the pose immediately, bolting for 
the buckets.

There was a small stream running down one of her legs as she squatted 
over the bucket, finally able to let go what all she had been holding. 
She sighed in relief as the sound of liquid hitting the plastic sides of 
the bucket echoed throughout the tree house and the other girls watched 
the bucket fill with the pale yellow pee.

Too late, Sweetie Belle realized that, during her mad dash, she had 
forgotten to pull her panties to the side, and they were soaking wet. 
Now, not only would she have drenched panties, but that was all the more 
that wouldn't count for her score!

"You lost /again/?" asked Scootaloo, laughing a bit.

"I didn't lose last time! Pinkie and Twilight were out before me!"

"Yeah, but out of me and Applebloom, you lost last time."

Sweetie Belle stuck her tongue out.

When the timer went off for the next round of drinks, the three 
remaining girls took drinks, looking pained as they did so. Sweetie 
Belle was a little bit grateful that she didn't have to endure that 
torture again, though she wished she could have lasted a little longer.

"I get to dare this time right?" she asked. "Even though I'm out?" The 
others nodded and she said, "Alright, Applebloom, since no one's dared 
you for a long time...I dare you to curl up in a ball!"

This dare would normally mean nothing. It was silly and simple, but the 
girls knew that, in their present condition, it would be an absolute 
nightmare. Applebloom knew that the added pressure to her bladder would 
push her incredibly close to losing it, but she could not turn down a 
dare. Not even a dare that might put her out of the running for good.

"A-alright," she said, sitting on the floor and curling up, immediately 
wincing at the unbearable pressure it put on her. She felt a dribble hit 
her yellow panties not long after, and she struggled to stem the flow. 
She didn't want to lose control like this.

The other girls were watching her, Scootaloo and Babs willing her to 
lose like they had done with Sweetie Belle. Babs in particular was 
panicking, as seeing and hearing Sweetie Belle wet had put her on edge, 
her bladder begging for relief even more so than it had been before. She 
hoped her cousin would be put out of the running soon, or else her 
chances of getting the score she needed would be slim.

While Applebloom struggled to fight against the pressure of her horrible 
seating arrangement, Babs had to fight her own battle, but before the 
timer for their next round of drinks even got close to going over, Babs 
began to leak quite a bit. The dark patch on her panties was growing 
fast, and she hopped up to run for the buckets, leaving a few splatters 
on the floor before she reached her bucket.

She pulled her panties to the side and aimed the rest of her flow into 
the bucket, watching as it filled. When she had emptied completely, she 
was disappointed to see that she had barely passed Sweetie Belle in 
terms of volume. As of right now, she only had two points, and if the 
others had a lot, she would fail her initiation.

"Well, ya did yer best," Applebloom said, uncurling from her position a 
bit. She was not completely insincere, as she did want her cousin to 
succeed, even though she herself did not want to lose.

"But it wasn't enough to beat me!" Scootaloo gloated, pleased that she 
was still in the running. Her nerves had calmed quite a bit by this 
point, now that she knew it was down to her and Applebloom. Things 
looked to be playing out just as they had in the last contest, and if 
that were the case, she had nothing to worry about!

The timer went off again, and the remaining two contestants went to take 
their drinks. With any luck, this would be their last round, and one of 
them would not have to worry about filling their overfull bladders any 
further.

But as Scootaloo sipped at her drink, she had to sip slower and slower, 
the pain in her lower abdomen becoming nearly unbearable. She wasn't 
going to be able to hold it, she suddenly realized to her complete and 
total terror. Maybe if she had been able to go to the bathroom before, 
but she hadn't, and though she had managed to outlast the other two 
girls with her handicap, she was not going to outlast Applebloom and she 
knew it.

"Alright, Scootaloo, looks like yer the only one I can dare," said 
Applebloom, grinning wickedly. "And since that last dare was so hard on 
me, I dare ya ta do the same thing!"

"N-no sweat," she mumbled, certain that her nerves were apparent to 
everyone in the room. She was going to lose. There was no getting around 
it, and though she knew it was time to resign herself to that fate, she 
could not accept it. It just did not register that this was it for her.

And she got in the floor, feeling a small stream of pee stain filling 
her orange panties, and she started to curl up, but she quickly realized 
that the stream was not going to stop and that she was done before she 
even began the dare. The others could see the wet spot as she hopped up 
hurriedly, trying to prevent any further leakage, and she could hear 
them giggling as she ran to the buckets, still not quite believing that 
this was happening to her.

She pulled her panties to the side, just as her bladder let go 
completely, gushing it's contents into the bucket below her. The bucket 
filled up rapidly, quickly beating the other two contestants without 
much problem. After all, she had been quite a bit more full than the 
others, and it was really a wonder she had managed to hold as long as 
she did at all.

Applebloom's giggles turned into full-on laughter, and she struggled to 
say, "Ha! Looks like I'm the winner this time!"

"O-only because you cheated!" protested Scootaloo, blushing.

But she ignored her, laughing harder and harder until it took its toll 
on her. After all, she had been incredibly close to losing control 
before, and the additional strain that laughing put on her bladder more 
than she could handle. Before she could stop it, she lost control and 
began soaking her yellow panties, forming a small puddle on the floor 
beneath her.

A panicked look on her face, she took off running for the buckets, but 
already, she had emptied quite a bit. When she reached her designated 
bucket, she simply peed through her panties, hoping to fill it at least 
a little bit.

Her bucket was easily the least full one, and she sighed. She may have 
one won portion, but it was unlikely that she would be the overall 
champion.

~X~

"Well, would ya look at that," Scootaloo said with a loud laugh. "Even 
when I don't win, I still win!"

"Yeah, yeah," grumbled Applebloom.

"I can't believe I came in dead last in the scores," wailed Sweetie 
Belle.

Babs could only smile as she looked as the score chart they had made. 
She had barely made it, but since she had between Sweetie Belle in terms 
of time, and her plus Applebloom in terms of volume, she had scored the 
three she needed.

With Scootaloo's large volume and second place, she had scored a five, 
while Sweetie Belle had only scored a single point due to be beating 
Applebloom in volume. Applebloom herself had gotten no points from her 
volume, and received a three overall, putting her tied for second place.

"Congratulations, though," Scootaloo said, suddenly halting her 
gloating. "You did a good job for your first time and you passed your 
initiation!" She grinned at Babs, who grinned back.

Applebloom cheered, giving her cousin a hug. She didn't admit that they 
probably would have let Babs pass anyway, no matter what her score was. 
Why bother with the what-ifs now that it was over?
