Greetings. I am Vultarian01. Sorry for the wait, but I had to go through a crisis called "College Testing" and I'm not done yet. BUT I took time out of my schedule for you, and do you know why? Because you're worth it. And again I'm sorry for accidentally erasing the original chapter 35, but you know there's a bright side to that I had to rewrite it i had the chance to improve upon it and I'm rather pleased with the results. But the changes I made will have to affect chapter 36, so I'm going to have to rewrite a few parts on that chapter in order to make it work. This may take a little while longer, but trust me. it's worth it. And the fact that I'm going to be doing TONS of work in my...take a seat...Government class.

Now trending on Twitter: "'Murica!"

I digress. Anyway, enjoy this chapter or else. Danke.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of its respective characters. I also do not own Jason Aldean and Sara Bareilles or their respective songs. Enjoy.

Chapter 35

An hour later…

As the lights of the building were dimmed and the stuffed animals activated by Vinyl Scratch, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle prepare the commentator's table for the match. Sunset Shimmer was a little unsure about being a co-commentator for the next match for obvious reasons. However, her recent attempt at being an announcer went rather well, as in nobody was starting something with her. Still, even though Sunset Shimmer thought that this was worse sense she's so close to the action, Twilight relieved her of worry by telling her that nobody could interrupt them, so that made Sunset feel a little better about it. With that the two start off.

Twilight: "Hello pro wrestling fans, I'm Twilight Sparkle!"

Sunset: "And I'm Sunset Shimmer!"

*- The stuffed animals booed loudly -*

Sunset frowned. "Twilight, I thought you said this was safe!"

Twilight frowned as well. "It was supposed to be…but I guess not from ANNOUNCERS!"

Vinyl (Announcer): "Aww, c'mon Twilight I was just foolin' around-

Twilight: "DO. YOUR. JOB." Twilight said sternly.

Vinyl (Announcer): "Fine, fine….sheesh can't have a little fun…"

Twilight saw that Sunset Shimmer was clenching her fists, and Twilight put a hand on one of them to calm her down. "Let's just keep going, okay?"

Sunset Shimmer sighed. "You're the boss."

Twilight: "We have had quite the show so far and it seems that things are going to be heating up as we come closer and closer to the main event. This match will be the bridging point with the socialite fashionista Rarity going up against the hardworking cowgirl Applejack. This match-up will be amazingly fierce with these two women of different backgrounds duking it out inside the square ring."

Sunset Shimmer adjusted her microphone. "It's going to be interesting seeing these two being in an actual fight for once." -Sunset Shimmer frowns- "N-Not that I condone that behavior anymore!" -Sunset Shimmer now looks worried- "But that's not to say that they can't fight, they just don't really back it up much-WAIT I didn't meant for it to come out like that-

Twilight put a hand on Sunset's mic to keep her from babbling further. "What you mean is that it's interesting to see them in an actual physical fight rather than just arguing?"

Sunset Shimmer smiled and silently thanked Twilight as she was given control back to her microphone. "Yeah, that's what I meant. Rarity and Applejack are about as opposite as they come and I can imagine that leads to a lot of headbutting."

Twilight: "Oh, it definitely does! Rarity and Applejack are practically yin and yang. Different tastes provide different perspectives after all, and these two are an excellent example of that. Applejack likes to keep things simple and practical contrasted to Rarity who has a good eye for detail and everything trending. Squabbles between the two are almost inevitable, but in the end they're the closest of friends."

Sunset: "Well these friends are going to become adversaries as soon as the bell rings, Twilight. And then…all hell will break loose."

Twilight giggled. "Then let Charon's boat take us there on the lake of music introductions!"

Sunset Shimmer chuckled despite how little humor that line provoked.

The lights went dim except for the lights above the ring and the searchlights pointed toward the curtain.

*~ Sara Bareilles's song "Brave" resonates throughout the building ~*

Vinyl (Announcer): "AWWW YEAH, What up ladies and bitches?! This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducin' first…Here from the upper ring of Canterlot…Standing in at "5'9" and weighing in at an unknown weight…The High Class Queen of Canterlot High…RAAAR-I-TYYY!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

As per usual, Rarity walked out of the curtain with her right hand on her hip and her left hand in the air giving the audience a princess like wave followed by her leaning forward to blow a kiss toward them. She then stood upright and, with her right hand still on her hip, started to casually strut down the runway. Rarity was wearing her regular wrestling attire with her hair in its same style.

Twilight: "Quite the uh…strong introduction from Vinyl Scratch."

Sunset Shimmer shrugged. "It was okay. Getting back to Rarity, that girl's got some sass in her class with her chomping off AJ!"

Twilight laughed. "Hehehehaa, that rhymed! But yes, Rarity sure can defend herself both physically and verbally, but Rarity's going to need more than some verbal punishment to take down Applejack. AJ has lost hardly ANY of her matches since the very beginning, so Rarity's going to have to strategize to get a victory."

Sunset: "Well from what I've seen of her she has pretty tough knee strikes and a pretty FIERCE looking finisher to boot! What was it called again, *Makeover*?"

Twilight: "Yeah, that's the one. And don't forget her signature *Fashion Forward* move. That isn't to be taken lightly either."

Sunset: "Those moves sound perfect for her, so looks like we're going to have a contest between leg and arm strength then."

Once Rarity got to the side of the ring, she used the middle rope to hoist herself up onto the apron and then raised it to duck under and step through to get into the ring. She then continued toward the center of the ring and gave the audience a courtesy before passing Fluttershy, who is going to be the referee for the match, and going to her corner (which from the commentator's point of view was the lower right turnbuckle) to wait for her opponent.

. *~ Jason Aldean's song "She's Country" resonates throughout the building ~*

Vinyl (Announcer): "In-troducin' neeeeext!…Coming from the fields of Sweet Apple Acres…Standing in at "6'0" and weighing in at 143 lbs…The Strongest Cowgirl in Canterlot…AAAPPLEEEJAAACK!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Applejack walked out of the curtain with her right hand on her hip and her left hand holding her light brown Stetson hat down over her eyes and stood with her legs spread apart. Applejack then jumped a small height to put her legs together as she struts down the runway with her Stetson hat still covering her eyes. Applejack was wearing her regular wrestling attire with her hair hung down as she made her way down the runway.

Twilight: "And Rarity's opponent is coming down the runway with just as much confidence emanating from her as her future opponent!"

Sunset: "I've only ever seen her in action once, but it still wouldn't surprise me if she was a powerhouse. And her number one contender ranking approves to that."

Twilight nodded. "Indeed. With excellent shoulder and arm strength, as well as strong legs, Applejack is definitely CCPW's best power wrestler as demonstrated by her signature *Brutal Honesty* among her excellent use of other Powerbombs."

Sunset: "Wouldn't surprise me. Power definitely seems to suit someone like Applejack….what do you suppose Rarity's style is?"

Twilight thought for a moment. "Not sure, but I suppose she could be considered a technical wrestler."

Sunset: "Yeah that sounds about right. But technician or not she better steer clear of getting grabbed by Applejack, or she'll risk getting slammed like Bon Bon."

Twilight: "That's nothing. You should see what she did to Octavia," Twilight's eyes widened and she spoke back into the mic. "No offense, Octavia."

Octavia buried her face in her hands and GROANED.

As Applejack approached the ring she still had her hat shielding her eyes and face from view as she raised the middle rope with her right hand to duck under the rope and enter the ring. Applejack then skipped to the middle of the ring where she threw her hat straight in the air. She then catches her hat as it came back down while spinning on her right heel. She stops her spin and stops in the direction of her corner and proceeds toward it (which from the commentator's point of view was the upper left turnbuckle). Applejack, this time, placed her Stetson on the post of her corner before cracking her neck in anticipation.

Sunset: "Pretty flamboyant for someone who claims to appreciate the simple things."

Twilight: "Well...I would say something about flashy cowboys in rodeo's…but I don't want anyone to take offense." Twilight said with a sheepish grin.

Fluttershy searched both of the competitors for foreign objects, and was happy to find them both clean. Since Rarity was the second one Fluttershy patted down, they both walked to the middle of the ring together while Applejack did the same thing but alone. The two of them eventually met; Rarity with hands on her hips and Applejack rolling her shoulders.

Rarity: "I wish you the best of luck, Applejack. May the better woman win," Rarity said trying not to sound too sarcastic as she extends a hand.

Applejack smirked and spat in her hand before reaching for a handshake, to which Rarity retracted her hand.

Rarity: "Eee-yeeew! That is DISGUSTING! Where are your manners?!" Rarity cried.

Applejack simply shrugged and wiped the spit in her hand on her denim shorts.

Rarity cringed. "Note to self: refrain from grabbing Applejack's posterior."

Sunset: "God, that's gross…"

Fluttershy proceeds to explain the rules to which both of them nodded in agreement. She then asks the two of they are ready to begin. After they give each other competitive glares and getting into their stances Fluttershy sees no point in awaiting an obvious answer, so she motions for Twilight to ring the bell.

Twilight rang the bell. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

Fluttershy took a good and far step back to ensure she didn't get killed while Rarity and Applejack locked each other in a collar and elbow tie-up. Rarity, while in the grapple, attempts to kick the sides of Applejack's legs with little effect. Applejack returned with a knee strike to Rarity's midsection, causing Rarity to stagger back and break the tie-up. Applejack then reached out, grabbed Rarity, and Irish Whips her toward the ropes in the direction of the runway. Hitting the ropes, Rarity runs back and sees Applejack preparing for a Clothesline. As she got close, Rarity ducked under Applejack's Clothesline and runs for the ropes in the direction of the commentator's table. Hitting the ropes again, Rarity rushes at Applejack who was attempting another Clothesline. Yet Applejack's Clothesline was not only dodged, but caught, as Rarity uses her momentum to Irish Whip Applejack towards the ropes in the direction of the runway. While Applejack Runs for the ropes Rarity does the same thing but in the opposite direction. Now that they both bounced off the ropes they're both running at each other with momentum behind them, Rarity having intent to take down Applejack.

Twilight: "Rarity's start off pretty strong, but will this be enough to stun AJ?!"

Sunset: "Hey, look!"

Rarity runs at Applejack and extends her arm for a Clothesline and connects…with little effect. The Clothesline did land, but all it did was manage to stop Applejack in her tracks. Applejacks winces at the blow but manages a grin which unnerves Rarity for a moment. Eventually Rarity runs back to the ropes and bounces off them in order to attempt another Clothesline, but this time Applejack wasn't having any more of it. As soon as Rarity tries to strike, Applejack ducks under it and reaches under Rarity's legs and lifts her up into the air before falling backwards, using Rarity's momentum to drop her front-first into the mat for a Pancake Slam (also known as a Flapjack). Apple jack rolls onto her front and gets to her feet while Rarity was laying face-down on the mat with her forelegs folded in the air.

Twilight: "Applejack counters the Clothesline with a deliciously powerful Flapjack!"

Sunset Shimmer suddenly finds herself cracking up. "That was an actual good line!"

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Were there other jokes that I made that were bad?"

Sunset Shimmer stopped laughing but kept her smile. "Uh…of course not."

Applejack takes a moment to celebrate with a feint punch to the air before looking down at her groaning opponent. Since Rarity was already in place, Applejack had no trouble stepping over Rarity and standing above her back; facing Rarity's direction. Applejack made a single stomp in between Rarity's shoulder blades with her right boot to get a grunt of pain out of the fashionista. AJ then bent down to grab both of Rarity's wrists and pulls back her arms to hyperextend her shoulders for a Wing-Tearer.

Rarity: "Get your filthy boot off of me!" Rarity ordered in between screams.

Applejack: "Then give up!"

Fluttershy dropped down beside Rarity. "Uh, not to be rude, but…please give up. I-It hurts to see you in so much pain-

Rarity: "NEVER!"

Fluttershy hung her head. "Okay."

Applejack kept the hold for a while longer before releasing Rarity's arms and letting her stir on the mat. Rarity put her hands on the mat and was about to push herself up, but Applejack made it easier by pulling her up to her knees by her hair. Applejack gave Rarity a good kick to the back to which Rarity cries in pain and rolls onto her back. Apple jack then leaps up, hikes up her left leg, and lands a Single Legdrop across Rarity's chest which didn't look too pretty, nor felt too pretty in Rarity's case. Applejack kept her leg across Rarity's chest to cover her since her shoulders were down.

Twilight: "First pin on Rarity!"

Fluttershy drops to the mat. "1!KICKOUT!"

Sunset: "Followed by the first kickout!'

Rarity pushed Applejack's leg off her chest and scrambled to her feet. Applejack, not quite as quick, was already kneeling to get up before being given a Knee Drop across the top of her head by Rarity. The cowgirl held her head which gave her face no guard against Rarity's knee strike across her cheek. With a fresh knee-shaped mark on her cheek, Applejack shakes off the dizziness and gets to her feet only to be shoot kicked by Rarity. Applejack staggered back from the blow as Rarity takes a few back. Rarity then ran at Applejack and leapt at Applejack for a Thesz Press…only for Applejack to grab Rarity and shove her down to the canvas!

Twilight: "Rarity ALMOST had it!"

Rarity got to her feet, but didn't stay long after an elbow across the jaw brought her to her knees. Applejack yanked Rarity back to her feet by the hair so Applejack could set her up. Applejack, facing her opponent, pulled her head in and places her jaw on her (Applejack's) right shoulder before curling her arm to hold Rarity's head in. Applejack then reached his left hand over and on top of Rarity's head before falling onto her knees and driving Rarity's jaw into her shoulder for a Shoulder Jawbreaker! Obviously.

Twilight winced. "Rarity's going to have a hard time chewing after that!"

Sunset: "I don't think Applejack's done yet, Twilight."

One would normally let her opponent fall after a Jawbreaker, but Applejack had other plans. Applejack KEEPS Rarity in the hold while Rarity moans at the pain in her jaw. Applejack got to her feet and removed Rarity from the hold, transitioning Rarity into a front facelock with her left arm, and then she uses her right hand to reach over and drape Rarity's left arm over her shoulders. Applejack grabs a handful of Rarity's tights with her right hand.

Twilight: "Oh no, Applejack's going for a…

Applejack: "Ya'll should'a made yerself a body cast in advance." Applejack said before Applejack summoned her strength to lift Rarity into the air until they were vertical with each other and facing the same direction. At this point, Applejack falls backwards, but turns around as she falls to twist Rarity as she lands front-first into the mat from Applejack's Rotating Vertical Suplex.

Twilight: "A SUPLEX! Applejack connects a suplex onto Rarity!"

While Rarity was laid out, Applejack removed Rarity from the front facelock and gets on all fours before grabbing Rarity's shoulder and turning her onto her back.

Sunset: "And she's going for another pin!"

While Rarity was laid out on her face, Applejack removed Rarity from the front facelock and got on all fours. She then turned herself around by hiking her right leg over and placing her right foreleg in between Rarity's legs. Applejack then spreads out Rarity's arms so she could put her hands on each bicep and press them down, effectively pinning the young lady.

Fluttershy dropped to count the fall. "1!...2!-OUCH!"

Applejack clenches her teeth and gets her hands off of Rarity, standing on her knees to see Fluttershy shaking her right hand

Applejack: "What in tarnation did you stop countin' for?!" Applejack snapped.

Fluttershy: "I hurt my pinkie…," Fluttershy murmured, blowing on her little red appendage. It was probably done from bending her pinkie finger under her palm as she counted, but AJ didn't really have the patience for empathy at the moment.

Sunset Shimmer shook her head, feeling kind of sorry for Applejack. "I hope Fluttershy doesn't do that often."

Twilight face-palmed and wiped her hand down her face.

Applejack looked down at Rarity who was still turning her head with a dazed moan, looking like she could still stay down. So instead of simply pushing down her arms, Applejack draped herself fully on top of Rarity, albeit more on the right side of her opponent's body. Applejack wraps her arms around Rarity's head but still presses her shoulders down with her chest.

Applejack: "Count her out, ref!"

Fluttershy tries to count the fall, makings sure to use her left hand this time. "1!...KICKOUT!"

Sunset: "I hope Applejack's going to let Fluttershy live if she loses."

Applejack curses and pulls her hair as she gets up to her knees. Applejack stands up on her feet before giving a few stomps to Rarity's midsection. Rarity rolls onto her side as she clutches her stomach, but she couldn't feel any relief once Applejack grabbed a hold of her hair and stood her up. Applejack bends rarity's upper body forward sp Applejack could put Rarity into another front facelock with her left arm. Applejack reached to drape Rarity's left arm over her shoulders, but was interrupted by Rarity giving her a strong kick to the left shin.

Twilight: "Rarity's getting her second wind!"

That indeed seemed to be the case as Rarity kicks Applejack in the shin yet again to which Applejack finally released Rarity to raise her left leg in the air to hold her shin as she cursed. Rarity breathed out before advancing on Applejack with an uppercut to the jaw as payback for the Jawbreaker. Applejack staggered back and looked up to give Rarity what for. Yet she wasn't in her line of sight. This was because Rarity was already BEHIND Applejack, proceeding to hit Applejack with her signature *FASHION FORWARD*! (Rarity places both of her hands on Applejack's shoulders and jumps up in place while placing both of her knees on her back. Rarity then falls back towards the mat along with Applejack. When Rarity's falls to the mat her knees are pushed up into Applejack's back to connect the Double-Knee Backbreaker). Applejack shouts in agony as she shot up and fell forward and face-down onto the mat before rolling in pain, tending to her back with her hands.

Sunset: "THAT'S gotta sting! You could call Rarity the bee's-

Twilight: "Fluttershy already made that joke."

Sunset blushed. "O-Oh...sorry…"

In the ring Rarity has already pushed Applejack onto her destroyed back and crawls across her. Rarity then presses down her stomach tightly across Applejack's for a cover, using her right arm to hook Applejack's left leg across the mat.

Fluttershy hits the mat. "1!...2!.KICKOUT!"

With the roll of a single shoulder, Applejack breaks the pin. Rarity makes sure to give Applejack very little time to recover by getting to her knees and throwing a punch to Applejack's gut. Afterwards Rarity pushes Applejack onto her belly and gets to her feet. Applejack felt a sudden pang of fear as Rarity positions herself standing on her knees on top of Applejack's back. Rarity giggles a bit before placing her hands on Applejacks shoulder blades, Rarity now on all fours.

Rarity: "Ready for a ride, cowgirl?" Rarity cooed before pressing her hands down, hopping her legs at a low angle in the air, and dropping them onto the base of Applejack's back, releasing a yelp from Applejack. And Rarity continues to do this as AJ grunts with each blow.

Twilight: "With Applejack's back demolished by *Fashion Forward* the pain she's feeling from those knee drops is going to pile on!"

After the fifth drop Rarity ceased and was pleased to find Applejack moaning in pain. Rarity then gets back on her knees so she can proceed to transition into a sitting position on Applejack's lower back. Scooting up a little more until she was sitting on the cowgirl's upper back, Rarity drapes Applejack's arms across the top of her (Rarity's) thighs which lifts Applejack's head off the mat and lets her head dangle. Rarity then laces her fingers together, places it under Applejack's chin, and pulls Applejack's head back for a standard Camel Clutch. Applejack yells at the pain of her head and torso being bent out of shape as Rarity applies and maintains the hold.

Rarity: "Applejack, darling, be a dear and tap out!" Rarity ordered in a loud, yet somehow polite, tone.

Applejack: "S-Shove it!"

Rarity: "No, you mean PULL IT!" Rarity says as she ups the pressure of the Camel Clutch by pulling even harder.

Sunset: "Applejack's in a bind! She could tap out any minute!"

Rarity continues to hold Applejack who has since past yelling and now scrunches her face up in pain, trying not to tap. Lucky for AJ, after TWO AND A HALF minutes Rarity's arms gave out and she released Applejack's head. Rarity continues to sit on Applejack however, and huffs and puffs from exerting pressure on the Camel Clutch for so long. Meanwhile Applejack's arms were still draped over Rarity's thighs, so she was just hanging there taking a breather too.

Twilight: "Applejack and Rarity look totally pooped."

Sunset: "Well, more Rarity than Applejack."

Back in the ring, Fluttershy got down on her knees beside Rarity. "Are you okay, Rarity?"

Rarity sighed and nodded before sitting back up, fixing her hair back into place. "I'm alright, darling, *huff* but do me a favor and not *huff* stand up just yet. You'll be *huff* needed momentarily…"

Rarity grabbed Applejack's arms and removed them off her legs, shoving Applejack's face into the mat. Rarity then got onto her knees and turned Applejack onto her back above her. Applejack winced as she felt herself being turned over and looking up to see Rarity with a determined look. She watched Rarity switched direction, still standing on her knees, and faced away from Applejack. Rarity took a seat on Applejack's chest while leaning forward to place her hands on both sides of Applejack's belly for a pin attempt.

Applejack: "Get off a me!" Applejack shouted in between breaths.

Rarity: "You didn't say please." Rarity said bluntly as she nodded for Fluttershy to count.

Fluttershy: "1!...2!.."

Applejack: "Ah said get off me!" Applejack roared as she grabbed the back Rarity's waist and gave it a hard shove, ultimately launching a surprised Rarity forward, off Applejack, and onto her forehead.

Sunset: "Now APPLEJACK'S getting her second wind!"

Applejack sat up and slowly got to her feet while Rarity rolled onto her back and held her head. Applejack shook her head and slowly walked over to Rarity, bent down, and picked her up by her hair that she just previously fixed. Applejack then used her left arm to put Rarity into a side headlock as they both struggled. Eventually Applejack had enough and started to maneuver them both over to the lower left corner. There Applejack rammed Rarity's fore head into it and released her so she could stagger back, holding her head. Applejack went to grab Rarity again, but her attempt was foiled by Rarity who caught her arm and Irish Whipped her over to the far upper right corner. Applejack ran the front of her body into the turnbuckle with a loud off before turning herself around to see Rarity advancing towards her. Applejack got out of the corner and was about to send a right hand Rarity's way but was dodged, and for that Applejack earned a good knee to the belly. Applejack's upper body was then forced forward by her opponent, grabbing her (Applejack's) hair and maneuvering her out of the corner and to the center of the ring.

Rarity: "You don't look so good, Applejack. Maybe a little *Makeover* will help…" Rarity stated as she stuck her right leg back.

Twilight: "Rarity's going for her finisher! She just might beat Applejack right here!"

Applejack put her hands on Rarity's but couldn't remove them from her hair. She wasn't in the best situation, but she wasn't going to let someone like Rarity get the best of her. Luckily, she knew what made Rarity tick…or in this case "Ick".

Applejack coughed. "Hey, Rarity? I hope ya know ah also used a big glob 'a spit to slick mah hair down."

Rarity's eyes widened, pupils shrunk. "Y-You did…what?"

Sunset: "What's happening?"

Twilight eye's went full circle. "I know that face! Cover your ears!" Twilight said as she did so. Sunset didn't know what to make of this, but she didn't have room to argue. She covered her ears…and boy was she glad she did.

Rarity: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"

Rarity suddenly let go of Applejack's hair and started flailing her arms in hopes of removing whatever germy saliva infected her hands. While doing this she started dancing around like those women from 90's cartoons that freak out at the site of a rat. And Rarity's high-pitched shrieking wasn't helping everyone's eardrums either.

Rarity: "E-HEEEEEEEEH! GROSS, GROSS, GROSS! THAT'S SO GRO-OOOSS!" Rarity cried in a nasally whine with her eyes squeezed shut.

Applejack grins and takes this opportunity to capitalize. Applejack runs at Rarity kicks her in the gut to make her double over, and then uses her right arm to put her in a front facelock.

Applejack: "Y'all're the one who's gonna get a makeover!" Applejack yelled before falling backwards into a sitting position, driving Rarity's face into her right knee for a Facebreaker DDT!

Twilight: "Applejack lands a devastating move on Rarity's FACE!"

Sunset: "A face for a back you could say."

Rarity groans at the throbbing in her face as Applejack removes her from the facelock. Applejack gets to her feet and bends down to grab Rarity who doesn't even put up a fight. Applejack then stands Rarity up before grabbing her head and placing it in between her legs. Applejack takes a moment to wipe the sweat from her brow before putting Rarity in a waistlock and using her strength to lift Rarity up onto her shoulders while draping Rarity's legs across her shoulders; Rarity facing the opposite direction. Applejack then quickly transitioned her hands from her waits and places them on Rarity's back. Rarity wraps her arms around Applejack's head and moans as Applejack carries her over to the ropes in the direction of the right side bleachers.

Twilight: "Applejack has Rarity near the ropes! We could see her finisher in action!"

Sunset: "That's it, Rarity's DONE."

Applejack: "Hey Rarity, yer Dutch apple pie you made at that charity event a year ago tasted pretty bland. Just sayin'."

Applejack faces the ropes and leans forward to make Rarity's back bounce across the top rope. Applejack, using that momentum, then quickly turns around again and lifts Rarity up by her waist. Applejack then throws down and slams Rarity's back, shoulders, and head into the mat for a Slingshot Powerbomb to complete Applejack's signature *Brutal Honesty*! Rarity let out a short shriek of pain upon impact, but closed her eyes and didn't utter a peep afterward.

Twilight: "This match JUST ended!"

Sunset Shimmer gulped. "Christ…"

Rarity's body landed in a German Suplex recipient-like position and stayed there with her buttocks and legs above her; her arms above her head on the mat and her hair in a mess. Applejack eventually proceeded to grab Rarity's limp legs and pull her lower body back down to the mat. Afterwards Applejack, with a cocky smirk, placed her right boot on Rarity's stomach.

Fluttershy drops to count the pin. "1!...2!...3!" Fluttershy motioned for Twilight to ring the bell.

Twilight rang the bell. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

*~ Jason Aldean's song "She's Country" resonates throughout the building ~*

Applejack, her boot still on Rarity, raises her fists in the air. Applejack basks in the manufactured cheers as Fluttershy goes to raise Applejack's arm in the air.

Fluttershy: "HERE'S YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL! APPLEJACK!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Fluttershy released Applejack's arm and lowered herself to check on Rarity. She was breathing heavily and Applejack's boot was still on her belly, so Fluttershy politely asked Applejack to remove it. Applejack did so and went on to run the ropes.

Twilight: "Applejacks gets the pin on Rarity! This was a tediously long battle, but Applejack eventually wore Rarity down with her superior strength and endurance. Rarity had Applejack on the ropes a couple of times in this fight, but in the end Rarity was the one pinned for the three-count. But she put up a good fight."

Sunset Shimmer didn't listen. She was holding her head and processing what just happened with disbelief. "Christ…that looked brutal…"

Twilight shook Sunset Shimmer's shoulder. "Well it was *Brutal Honesty*. You okay?"

Sunset Shimmer snapped out of it and shook her head. "Y-Yeah I'm okay…but that was some serious pain she inflicted! In hindsight I probably should've seen hat coming, but that looked a little harsh!"

Twilight: "Wrestling's a harsh Sport. And I didn't ever recall YOU being the gentle type," Twilight retorted jokingly, rubbing her jaw.

Sunset Shimmer smiled sheepishly. "Hehe...right."

Back ringside, Fluttershy helped Rarity into a sitting position.

Fluttershy: "You need an icepack? I brought a few with me."

Rarity rubbed her head, wincing at the stinging pain throughout her body. "Yes…I would like that."

Applejack eventually stopped her celebration and went over to help Rarity to her feet.

Rarity fixed her hair back into place and made her best attempt to remain composed. Rarity, swallowing whatever pride she had left, stuck out her hand. "*Ahem*…Applejack, that was an excellent match and the better woman one. Congratulations."

Applejack smirked and shook the hand. "Thanks Rarity. You weren't too bad yerself."

Rarity retracted her hand, and just to make sure there wasn't anything leftover, she wiped her hand down the side of her trunks. "But I must say that putting saliva in your hair is simply….ECK!"

Applejack tries her best to keep a straight face. "*Snort* Y-yeah…that…"

Rarity arched an eyebrow. "Why are you…" Rarity took a moment to contemplate why Applejack looked like she was keeping herself from convulsing. Suddenly, a light turned on in her head, her mouth dropped. "Applejack! Did you TRICK me?!"

Applejack tried her best but her defenses were shattered, so she surrendered to all the snickers, chuckles, and howls and laughed her ass off.

Rarity's cheek burned as pointed an accusing finger at her laughing opponent. "You DID trick me! You swindling, hoodwinking, CHEAT!" Rarity shouted.

Applejack was now holding her sides in stitches which upset Rarity even more. "I want a REMATCH! Fluttershy, ring the bell again!" Rarity demanded with a stomp of her foot.

Fluttershy shuffled in place. "I'm sorry but I don't think-

Rarity: "Ring the bell again! I'll show this scruffy farmhand WHATFOR!"

Applejack eventually stopped laughing, wiping a tear from her eye. "S-Sorry about that…but that ain't cheatin'. Ah had to do what ah had to do to win. Surely you can respect that. Ya know, using yer wit."

Rarity opened her mouth to retort, but couldn't come up with a counter argument to that, so she puffed her red cheeks and gave Applejack an ugly look. Applejack smirked, but she eventually sighed and scratched the back of her head. "Alrighty…if you'll stop getting yer knickers in a bunch I'll give you a rematch, okay?"

Rarity let loose the air from her cheeks and simply turned her head, nose in the air. "Very well!"

Sunset: "Well that escalated and cooled down quickly. To be honest I'm sure AJ would've won even if she hadn't tricked Rarity."

Twilight: "You know they can hear you, right?"

Sunset shot her eyes open and saw Rarity glaring daggers at her. "Dammit…"

Twilight: "Well that was a fun match, but now we should be getting on to…*sigh*….the main event," Twilight said under melancholy breath.

Sunset Shimmer frowned and lightly touched Twilight's shoulder. "You're going to do good, I know it."

Twilight cracked a smile but didn't change her tone. "Let's just get this over with…"

Twilight motioned for everything to be deactivated and the lights brightened. Everyone was to get settled for the final match, while Twilight walked along with Sunset Shimmer to the locker rooms…

*Meanwhile*

The autumn winds wisped through the air, catching leaves and carrying them off across the sky, only to fall onto the ground littered with orange and red. Most of them were stable and shuffled against the wind. However the unlucky few were crushed under the shoes of a young woman who had her hand in her skirt pockets as she walked along the path, her rainbow hair blowing in the wind. Such colors were normally meant for warmer seasons, but the air around her made the rainbow colors seem colder which fit perfectly with her mood.

Rainbow Dash had walked back to Canterlot and explored the city, trying to keep her emotions in check. After her shouting match with Sunset Shimmer, Twilight, and…Fluttershy she definitely needed a walk on a windy day to cool her down. She circled around the usual places she goes, checking her text every so often. Along one of the paths she took stood Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie Pie was most likely present. The thought crossed her mind to go in there and talk to Pinkie, just to let loose some steam, but Pinkie would probably just tell her to loosen up and have fun. Pinkie Pie was sick anyway and she didn't want to bother her too much. So she continued to wander the city, contemplating on what she had to do next. Eventually she heard a buzzing sound and took out her pone to check her message box.

Rainbow you can come back now. Twilight's waiting.

Rainbow Dash sighed and started to make her way back to the abandoned building. It took a while, but now Rainbow dash was back on the dirt path covered in leaves, heading for her destination. She could see the building in the distance and quickened her pace. Every inch she got closer the more anger she could feel rising. Sunset Shimmer was there. Twilight was there. And the girl that she protected her whole life, her oldest friend that betrayed her was also there. Her pace quickened even more. The chilling winds circled around her, cooling her down for the moment. Yet Rainbow Dash knew this would only last so long for once she re-enters those doors, those emotions could jump back in her and make her do something she may regret.

No. She isn't going to lose control. Not against Twilight anyway. She is a traitor, but she isn't her main priority. Regardless, she WILL go in there and she WILL beat Twilight Sparkle. And after that…all that's left is Sunset Shimmer.

Rainbow: "No backing down now…"

Well what did you think? I personally think this was better than the original, but none of you didn't see it so I'm going to have to go off your impressions of this one. I think I made a few good improvements.

Please leave a review, and if/when you do don't hold back. In fact give me a verbal smack down! If you wish. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and until next chapter which will be Twilight Sparkle vs Rainbow Dash, Arevoir.
