While playing the Equestrian version of Jenga with Eric Reed, Starlight Glimmer found herself facing seemingly imminent defeat. However, as a pony with a devious streak that rarely minds "bending" the rules, she chose to use her magic in unfair ways as a last resort. Obviously, she was met with objections from Eric.
But unluckily for Starlight, she forgot her human opponent knew how unicorn magic works quite well...
This story is one of a series of stories that all take place after A Giant Adventure to Equestria. However, it is not necessary to read any of them to understand this story, but "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" does show how and why the human OC Eric Reed is in Equestria and how his bond with Starlight formed.
If you enjoy this story and would be interested in reading any of the other stories with Eric, you can find the list of all current ones here.
EDIT on 08/26/22: Now has an audio hearing by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan!
Great chapter, and I was so close to getting exactly the same story. At least I got part of it right.
Anyways wonderful chapter buddy, keep up the great work.
When I saw the “cheating” part, my mind went to something different entirely lmao
Also known as how to treat your Glim Glam.
Nee, nein, non, hayır, níl, não, нет, үгүй.

Might want to talk with twilight about that rule book considering I have doubts that she was playing fair.
Cute.

Thanks, and you definitely came the closest to guessing what this story's plot was.
11338687
The stuff that can't be unseen once you're aware of it.
I didn't think about the story's title that way.
11338758
Uh...agree to disagree?
11338799
That pic was just perfect! I don't think Starlight would like it though

Eric knew Starlight did something to that rule book, so he wouldn't even need to go to Twi for confirmation. Even Starlight herself sorta implied she did by barely protesting Eric's claim.

Glad you liked it!

But considering how twilight is about rules and books it be worth it to see go volcano on starlight for changing rules to suit her and messing with a book.
11339667
Hmm. That is an interesting and fun idea. I'll think about exploring that possible aftermath of Starlight's cheating and messing with books, especially Twilight's books!
11339659
I mean, what else would you do with Starlight Glimmer besides boop her?
11339689
Oh, you mean boops! Yep, giving Glim Glam boops is a way to treat her. I had one of my brainfart moments and thought you meant, uh, something else.
11339691
All ponies get boops.
I think I understand the confusion. But I was just reusing the title.
11340168
Glad you liked it! And yep, Starlight ended up having an epic fail this time.
Why did this get into my head immediately when I saw the title

As it was semi-pointed out, this story's title would be suitable for a very different and much darker story. Maybe I should have named it "How to Defeat Your Cheating Unicorn" instead.
11342099
Sounds better
It's funny because Starlight makes smug faces a lot in this show.
Great story/moral
11344604
Glad you liked it! Starlight is one of the best at making smug faces in the show, so I have her be able to pull it off in my stories.
11344637
Which is mostly why I like her with her smug expressions
Okay I love this series so much but it's got me having one those creepy theory feelings...the one where MC is in a coma doesn't know it and is living in separate world where everything is amazing and different yet eerily also similar to their old life. Adventure Time Jake coma theory type of vibes
But I still love this series
11772867
That reminded me of the theory about Ash Ketchum from Pokemon being in a coma and his adventures are all a comatose dream. It is scarily vaild given it's best and pretty much only way he could be "ten years old" for years
And glad you're enjoying this series!
