You snuck into the basement hiding on the stairs spying on them.
Starlight Glimmer: I can't believe Princess Celestia told us to clean her basement. We aren't even her guards.
Rarity: Well I'm not cleaning darlings. Cleaning means I'll get dirty which means I'll get ugly!
Shining Armor then found the TV on and a game set up with four controls.
Shining Armor: Hey guys check this out.
Moondancer then reads the instructions.
Moondancer: Playing this game will take you on a journey like no other. What kind of dumb ruleset does that mean?
Shining Armor: I think we deserve a break. Am I right?
Rarity: As long as I'm still fabulous and neet your right.
Moondancer: I suppose I can play one level.
Starlight Glimmer: Fine. If she won't let us leave till it's clean we might as well make ourselves comfortable.
They all picked up a controller. And selected their characters
Moondancer: I'll be Rainbow Dash.
Shining Armor: I'll be Spike.
Rarity: I'll be Pinkie Pie.
Starlight Glimmer: I guess that leaves me with Twilight Sparkle. Wait why do these names sound so familiar?
All of a sudden all four of them get sucked into the game.
