Greetings. I am Vultarian01. You know how I said that this would be out sometime next week? Well, the reason that was because I'm trying to find an editor, because my last one ran into unfortunate problems. So I was hoping I would fund an editor before then, but so far I couldn't find any willing to edit my story. So, I decided to edit this myself... so you know it's gonna suck. :I

You're also wondering why this chapter is not part of the match? That's because, like chapters 40, 41, and 42 (AKA Chapter 40), this part felt like an entirely different chapter, and I felt this would make the chapter too long. So, I divided chapter 43 into chapters 43 and 44. Chapter 44 has the actual match, and I'm mostly done writing it, but again I'm trying to find an editor. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this... let's face it. It's pretty much a transition chapter. :I But enjoy it nonetheless. Danke.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of its respective characters. I also do not own any orphans. Just putting that out there.

Chapter 43

Fifteen minutes later…

Lyra stroked the mop up and down the vomit stained mat with great disgust. The chunks of puke were being absorbed by the just as dirty mop. Once Lyra accumulated a proper amount, she dunked it into a large, mobile container of water. The vomit mixed with the water, and Lyra wrinkled her nose as it made a very unappealing color. She then went back to cleaning up the rest of Rarity's breakfast as she gripped the pole of the mop with her latex gloves.

Lyra gagged. "Gyugh! Why do I have to be the one to clean it up?!" Lyra whined.

Twilight was standing next to the puke, inspecting Lyra's progress. "Because you made fun of Rarity when she was puking."

Lyra: "It was a pun!"

Twilight crossed her arms. "It wasn't funny."

Lyra rolled her eyes. "Fine, but why the mop?! Don't we have any other cleaning stuff?! Like a towel?!" Lyra whined further.

Twilight crossed her arms. "Those are the only things we could find around the building, and no you can't use the towels because they are there for you to use when you finish a match. Just consider yourself lucky that I didn't make you use paper towels and clean it up by hand."

Lyra: "Whatever…"

Twilight turned to Bon Bon who was also observing Lyra mopping. "I gotta go. Check Lyra's work when she's done. Then report back to me, okay?"

Bon Bon nodded. "Yeah, and I'll make sure she scrubs up the leftovers and wipes the stains off the mat real good."

Twilight: "Good. Also, make sure you use the odor killers, sanitize the mat, and wash your hands really good. We wouldn't want you to spread germs. Got it?"

Bon Bon gave Twilight a playful salute. "Got it!"

Twilight smiled. "Good," she said before turning to Lyra," Have fun, Lyra. No slacking off after I 'heave' your line of sight, alright?"

Lyra gave Twilight a sarcastic smile. "Heheheh!" Followed by a sneer.

Twilight walked away, leaving Lyra and Bon Bon to clean the mess left there from the aftermath of the match. Twilight walked around the corner of the ring. As she turned she looked up to see Pinkie Pie putting a stuffed beaver underneath Applejack's head. Applejack has been unconscious ever since the match ended, and since then Pinkie Pie, Big McIntosh, and Fluttershy had created a special bed of stuffed animals for her to sleep on. It must have been hard for Big Mac to see Applejack get beaten up by a person who sells dresses for a living. Not that she could blame him. She couldn't even believe that Rarity could give out so much punishment. Yet, despite it being such a good match, Applejack and Rarity were incredibly violent and ruthless. That's not to say that it wasn't allowed, but they may have gotten a little too into their battle, especially with all the vicious name-calling and other unnecessary verbal assaults that were involved. During the match, Twilight could tell that the three of her guests were a little put off by the amounts of vulgarity in the match. Cadence was definitely the least comfortable watching the match; Cadence would look away from the bad parts, and even passed out at one point. Not that it really surprised her. Cadence had always been the gentle and loving type. But the match still went a little far beyond the typical wrestling match, and she now she had to figure out a way to lower some of the tension. Luckily, she thought of something just shortly after she gave Lyra the mop and watched horror grow on her face.

Twilight sauntered over to the left side bleachers where almost everyone was hanging out. Rarity was sitting on the front row still in her two-piece wrestling outfit with a towel around her neck. She had just got back from the locker room and was drinking a bottle of ginger ale, most likely for her stomach. She still looked a little winded with some color still present in her cheeks, but other than that and a bruise or two, she looked pretty okay. And her performance definitely caught the attention of the other members of CCPW with how they were surrounding her like she was a runway model.

Cadence: "Wow, Rarity! I knew you could defend yourself, but I couldn't even DREAM that you would be able to beat Applejack in a one-on-one fight!" Cadence praised as she voluntarily combed Rarity's hair behind her.

Rarity grimaced at the unintentional insult in her compliment, but she let it slide. "Thank you darling, but my match didn't end as gracefully as I thought it would. I… I puked in front of all of you and made the mats filthy! Ooooh, this is simply EMBARRASING!" Rarity said as she covered her face, her cheeks even redder now.

Twilight: "Embarrassing?! That couldn't be far from the truth Rarity! You've displayed a lot of athleticism in the ring today, and you won!" Twilight praised.

Pinkie Pie randomly jumped in the conversation. "Yeah, Rarity! You were like BAM! POW! WHAM! And when Applejack lifted you, you were like 'nu-uh sweetie, you put a ring on me first' before delivering another BAMMO! KABLOOIE! And other cool hurt-sounding stuff!" Pinkie Pie cheered while throwing fake punches and kicks.

Rarity looked up at Twilight and Pinkie Pie with dry apathy. "You know I was referring to the vomiting, right?"

Pinkie Pie stopped and slapped her head. "OOOOoooh! Yeah. That was totally gross." Pinkie Pie said with a disgusted expression.

Twilight gently pushed Pinkie Pie to the side. "Yeah, but you probably just overstressed your body. I would be barfing all OVER the place if I had been in that match."

Pinkie: "Eeeeew! Twilight, you're nasty!"

Twilight playfully pushed Pinkie Pie's shoulder with her hand, making Pinkie Pie giggle as she regained balance. Shortly after, Big McIntosh and Fluttershy joined in after settling in Applejack with some stuffed animal friends.

Fluttershy: "We're back, and I'm happy to say that Applejack's going to be alright. She doesn't seem to be hurt all that much…"

Twilight glanced over at Rarity. "Besides the concussion."

Fluttershy: "Congratulations on beating Applejack, Rarity. I know I wouldn't be able to compete with Applejack that much, let alone knock her out. And I've wrestled with her before too…" Fluttershy said with a shutter.

Big Mac: "Eeyup…"

Everyone in the group looked up at the tall man, and was surprised that he was still very content and calm after seeing her little sister losing a fight. He didn't take his eyes off Rarity though; his mouth still chewing on hey and his hands tucked into is pockets.

Rarity smiled nervously. "Hehe, well yes, um…"

Fluttershy: "It's okay, Rarity. He isn't mad at you. Isn't that right, Big Mac?" Fluttershy asked Big McIntosh.

Big McIntosh sighed and took his hand out of his pocket to wave it off. "Eeyup."

Rarity mentally collapsed in relief. "Haha, yes! I'm glad!"

Fluttershy shuffled her feet. "Although… I think you may have been the inciest tinciest bit too rough…" Fluttershy offered with a small and cautious smile.

Twilight and company shifted their attention back to Applejack once more. She was lying on a bed of animals with her eyes closed and her hands over her chest as if she was a dead person on her way to her grave. Rarity blushed with a bashful smile.

Rarity: "I suppose I may have taken that a little too far, haven't I?"

Shining Armor finally spoke up. "Well, yeah. You did. But to be honest I'd rather take things too far and knock her out than not take it far enough and land myself in a hospital bed. AJ probably would have done the same thing."

Big McIntosh nodded. "Eeyup."

Cadence swiped down the brush on Rarity's hair one last time, bringing back Rarity's after-match jungle to its pre-match styled form. "There. All done," Cadence said, putting down the comb and handing Rarity the mirror, "Is this okay?"

Rarity looked in the mirror and gasped. Her hair was no longer a mangled mess, and Rarity smiled widely.

Rarity: "This is FABULOUS, Darling! Oh my beautiful, styled, hair! How I've missed you so…" Rarity exclaimed, batting her eyes in the mirror and flipping her hair.

Cadence giggled. "Well, thank you. I've been brushing knots out of the orphans' hair every day before we went to volunteer down at the soup kitchen."

Rarity puckered her lips in the mirror before putting it down. "Well your charity has done your combing expertise wonders, Cadence," Rarity said before looking behind at Cadence. "But enough of that, so how did you like the match? Fun?"

A spotlight was turned on Cadence, and she gave herself an uncomfortable scratch of the cheek before giving her answer. "Well… I'm not all that into wrestling. I mean I watched a few matches before, but all of that violence seemed a bit… much. In my opinion," Cadence confessed, biting her lip briefly, "I'm not saying that you weren't good! You were so amazing, I had no idea you could fight like that! But, I think that you were a little too mean…"

Twilight gulped. This wasn't good.

Rarity: "Darling, this is professional wrestling. I really can't afford to hold back on my opponents." Rarity reminded.

Cadence: "I meant that you and Applejack seemed really angry with each other. I know that girl with the shaded lenses said you guys had a match before, and that Applejack had wronged you in some way, but you two were saying some very awful things to each other. I couldn't make all of it out, but it was hard to mistake Applejack calling you a… *ahem* cow, or when she also slapped you and called you a… female dog. Also, the way you tricked her seemed rather out of character for someone like you, and even Applejack. I don't want to make a wrong assumption, but … there seems to be some very serious dissension between the both of you."

Rarity's mouth gapped as she tried to look for an answer. She couldn't find one and eyed Twilight. Twilight took immediate action.

Twilight: "Oh, what?! Really! Of course NOT! They're completely over that silly little dispute!" Twilight laughed, getting in the bleachers and taking a seat, "As for how they acted today… Um… you've seen… how violent and competitive wrestling can be; how focused and engrossed the wrestlers have to be when fighting, right? Sometimes… and this happens to all of us, but, uh… when we're in the ring we get VERY competitive and we sometimes end up doing or saying thing we don't actually mean. And, uh… "

Shining Armor jumped in. "What Twiley's trying to say is that there's a lot of trash talk in sports. Like when a football coach calls his team a bunch of sissies if they lose, or when two basketball players get into it before a big game. Sometimes it's harsh, but when you're in the heat of the moment you can end up saying and doing just about anything. You know what I'm saying?" Shining Armor finished coolly.

Twilight smiled in relief, thankful for Shining Armor coming to her rescue.

Cadence nodded. "I guess so, but I have another concern."

Twilight's smile was knocked down by the power of false hope.

Cadence: "I was also wondering… why were you and Applejack so mean to Sunset Shimmer? I mean I know that she used to be a bully, and says she isn't anymore, but you two looked like you were being jerks to her. Again, I couldn't make it out, but your body language was indicating that you were both yelling at each other through the entire match, and I may have also saw Applejack kick Sunset, but that could've been an accident…. Either way, it wasn't very pleasant to see. I would understand how she would have made all of you mad, and I don't really know her that well myself, but I didn't think that either of you were very considerate towards her."

Rarity looked down, abashed and uncomfortable.

Cadence suddenly looked concerned. "What? Do you have a problem with Sunset Shimmer, Rarity?"

Shining Armor and Twilight looked at each other, each beckoning the other to speak up. Twilight and Shining Armor gave each other mean looks before Twilight finally went ahead.

Twilight: "The same thing happened to Sunset Shimmer with what Shining Armor said before. Sunset Shimmer was the referee, so she was also in the crossfire. It comes with the job, but Rarity and Applejack didn't mean anything they said, and Sunset understood that. Besides, everyone here LOVES Sunset Shimmer!"

Rarity looked up. "We do?"

Shining Armor looked at Shining Armor with just as much surprise. "You do?"

Twilight smiled wider. "Yes. We do," said Twilight with a vaguely threatening undertone, "Right, Rarity?"

Cadence looked at Rarity with a questioning expression. Behind her was Twilight giving Rarity a stern look along with a "Just go along with it" hand gesture. Rarity quickly conceded and put her acting skills into play.

Rarity put on her best fake genuine smile she could make. "Well, of course we love Sunset Shimmer! She's been here for so long, and we've gotten to know her SO well! I will admit that I was rather skeptical at first, she's really shown herself to be quite the charming and kind lady," Rarity said that before looking upset, "I'm so sorry if I looked like I was rude to her, Cadence."

Cadence looked down. "Oh… now I feel kind of bad about questioning you…"

Twilight: "Whoa, whoa! It's not your fault that you misread the situation. Everyone does that." Twilight quickly put in.

Rarity: "I'm so sorry…"

Cadence let out a deep breath. "Okay," Cadence sighed before jerking upward. "I don't mean to be… mean, but I don't think Sunset Shimmer was aware of it. Maybe you could call her down here and ask? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I just want to make sure that Sunset Shimmer hasn't taken it the wrong way."

Rarity's smile cracked a bit, but she still stayed in character. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Fluttershy were exchanging worried lances.

Rarity: "Hahaha! Cadence, I'm pretty sure that Sunset Shimmer-

Twilight broke in between the line of sight between Cadence and Rarity.

Twilight: "That Sunset Shimmer wouldn't mind! I mean, just to be sure that Sunset Shimmer understands." Twilight offered.

Rarity's expression became a little less pleasant, irritation setting into her stare. Twilight turned her head, and unable to be seen by Cadence, gave Rarity another crossly glare. Rarity drops her smile halfway and rolls her eyes. "Of course…"

Twilight cooled down and looked to the ring where Sunset Shimmer had finished checking the ropes in the upper left corner before turning herself around and sat against it with a tired look on her face. Sunset Shimmer was told to inspect the ring for any damages since the match between Rarity and Applejack was so gruesome. Luckily, Sunset Shimmer seemed to be finished, and she was also in vocal range.

Twilight cupped her hands. "Hey, Sunset! Could you come over here for a moment?!" Twilight called out.

Sunset Shimmer craned her neck and saw that Twilight was beckoning her to come to the bleachers. Sunset Shimmer casually got up to her feet, exited the ring, and walked over there. Sunset Shimmer quickly glanced at everyone before giving her attention to Twilight.

Sunset: "Hey, Twilight. I just finished the inspection and nothing seems to be broken. What's up?"

Twilight looked over at Rarity and gave her the go ahead. Rarity (reluctantly) got up and walked over to Sunset Shimmer with a half-smile and a look of uncomfortable disappointment. This, understandably, had Sunset Shimmer raising a questioning eyebrow.

Rarity: "Sunset, sweetheart. Twilight called you up here because we want to make sure there wasn't a misunderstanding earlier."

Sunset Shimmer gave Rarity a weird look. "Um, come again?"

Rarity suddenly grabbed Sunset Shimmer's hands with hers, making Sunset Shimmers give Rarity an even weirder look.

Rarity: "Oh, I think you know, darling. You know as well as I do that being in a wrestling match can be straining on the nerves, don't you? And how I didn't mean anything I may have said to you during the match?"

Sunset Shimmer was kind of taken aback, but Rarity's eyes gestured her towards Cadence who was looking at her curiously. Sunset Shimmer caught on, and responded back coolly.

Sunset: "Well of course I do, Rarity. I know you didn't mean those things. You were under a lot of stress, and I can understand how that could get to you."

Rarity beamed. "Well, good! I wouldn't want you to think I would willingly attack you so viciously, you being such a valuable and loved member of CCPW."

Sunset blinked, a little pissed, but she kept going. "Of course not. As your friend, I completely understand."

Cadence now seemed to be content with the situation. "Glad there was nothing wrong. I'm sorry about my suspicions."

Pinkie: "WAIT!" Pinkie Pie alerted.

Everyone looked to Pinkie Pie, a few with very pained stares.

Twilight: "Yes…?"

Pinkie Pie: "Where's the hug? Good friends NEED to hug each other!" Pinkie Pie demanded out of the blue, "Otherwise they are just… alone and hugless…"

Twilight, Sunset, Rarity: "PINKIE PIE!" they all mentally screamed.

Pinkie Pie cocked her head. "Yes?"

Sunset Shimmer put her hands up. "Oh. No, I believe Rarity. I don't really like hugs," Sunset Shimmer said backing up, only to get a bad look from Twilight.

Cadence: "Oh, no, it's fine! You don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with. I know all of you are being honest with me, and I feel so bad for being so nosy. " Cadence said with a depressing sigh.

An unnecessary tear shed down Pinkie Pie's face as she went to give Cadence a side hug. Twilight frowned, wanting to do the same. But she knew that she couldn't. She didn't deserve it. Twilight couldn't wrap her arms around Cadence, knowing that she had lied to her. Twilight could only tell Cadence, hiding all visible shame, that she was forgiven.

Cadence looked her left and became wide-eyed instantly. "Oh my…"

A few feet away, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia were making casual struts towards the group. They had gotten back from the locker rooms and changed into their wrestling outfits. This wasn't anything new to the CCPW crew, but it was to Big Mac, Shining Armor, and definitely Cadence who was showing some red. This was more a reaction to seeing Vinyl Scratch's costume than Octavia's, as it was obviously more revealing. And the blushes on Big Mac and Shining Armor agree. Cadence's blush didn't agree though, and she quickly grabbed her man and held him closely, giving Shining Armor her cutest look while Shining Armor rolled his eyes. Once they had arrived, Octavia was first to speak.

Octavia:"Pardon our intrusion, but we are ready."

Vinyl: "Yeah, when are we going to start?" Vinyl Scratch asked to know one in particular before eying Big McIntosh and taking off her glasses to show him her eyes, "Hey, handsome." Vinyl Scratch said with a wink.

Big Mac looked around, expecting for her to be speaking to someone else. Then it dawned on her that she was looking at him, and he started to sweat. "Eeyup..."

Octavia: "Please…"

Vinyl Scratch ignored Octavia and went straight for Big McIntosh. Vinyl Scratch stopped in front of Big Mac with them being only several inches apart. Vinyl Scratch put her right hand on her hop and looked up at him.

Vinyl: "I hope you enjoy the tag team match, big guy. I think you'll be very… satisfied with my performance, "Vinyl Scratch said with a seductive wink, "You mind cheering me and Octavia on?"

Big Mac blushed and quickly backed away, a little frightened. "E-E-Eeyup..."

Twilight grabbed Vinyl Scratch and pulled her off to the side. "Actually, there's going to be a change of plans," Twilight said before addressing everyone, "We're going to be switching the matches around."

Vinyl turned around. "You can't be serious…"

Pinkie: "YAY!"

Fluttershy: "What do you mean, Twilight?"

Twilight: "I'll explain in a sec," Twilight said before addressing Big McIntosh and Cadence, "Would you two mind if you leave for a moment. We have some things to discuss."

Big McIntosh shrugged and turned to make his way back to his seemingly vegetated sister. Cadence, though, gave Twilight an unsure look.

Cadence: "But… what about Shining?"

Twilight: "We need to tell him something too. It won't take long, I promise." Twilight assured.

Cadence: "If you say so, Twilight…"

Cadence gave a passing glance to Shining Armor as she headed in Big McIntosh's direction, most likely goin to see how Applejack's condition was. Everyone watched her leave, and when she was out of earshot they all presumed to speak their minds.

Sunset: "You try flaunting yourself for Big Mac in your wrestling stripper outfit, and you call ME the slut?!" Sunset Shimmer snapped.

Vinyl Scratch sneered. "Don't be jealous because I can actually GET a guy, oh wait, you got Flash, but that ain't no big accomplishment! Besides, I was just doing it so Big Mac wouldn't suspect anything about how we have to act like we give a damn about you!"

Sunset: "That why you were eying Big Mac's pecks?"

Vinyl: "Fuck you!"

Sunset: "Fuck YOU!"

Twilight stepped in and firmly stopped this argument from escalating. As Twilight broke them up, Shining Armor also stepped in to speak his mind.

Shining: "Hey, Twilight, why'd you lie to Big Mac and Cadence for? That doesn't look to loving to me." Shining Armor said, pointing his thumb at Sunset and Vinyl Scratch.

Twilight was understanding of her brother's disappointment, and quickly explained herself.

Twilight: "Shining, I'm so, so, sorry! But you have to understand that we don't want to look bad in front of Cadence and Big Mac, especially after what happened in Rarity's match!" Twilight said, shooting an accusing glare Rarity's way.

Rarity's mouth dropped. "What did I do?!"

Twilight: "Rarity, you let your personal feelings get in the way of the match, and as a result you and Applejack made us look like maniacs who throw childish temper tantrums! Also, that was a low blow faking out Applejack like that, Rarity! I figured you showed more class than that! Are you TRYING to make us look bad?!" Twilight snapped.

Rarity stood up, color rising to her cheeks. "So… is this how you really felt about my match, Twilight? I thought you enjoyed it … but then again, Cadence was here for that, wasn't she?! Applejack did the same thing to me in our last battle, you know. Where were you there, Twilight?! Do tell! I'm all ears!" Rarity snapped back.

Twilight was about to start a lecture, but Shining Armor stopped her, and he didn't like this at all.

Shining: "Twiley, calm down! The match was fine, and you already pointed out everything to us. Now apologize to your friend for inappropriately raising your voice at her." Shining Armor commanded sternly.

Twilight still could feel her heat, but she cooled down a bit once she saw Rarity fanning herself with her hand, obviously trying not to start anything. Seeing that felt like a punch in the gut for Twilight, and she quickly performed Cadence's breathing technique before walking over to Rarity and offering her a hug. Rarity was hesitant for a moment, but she regained her composure and returned the hug.

Twilight: "I'm so sorry, Rarity. That was completely uncalled for." Twilight whispered in her ear.

Rarity let a hot breath escape her lips into a sigh. "It was… but I guess I can let it slide."

Twilight and Rarity broke the embrace, and Shining Armor nodded in approval.

Shining: "Good. Now, can we get back to you guys not being up front with my girlfriend? And Big Mac?"

Twilight turned around and looked at Shining Armor with pleading eyes. "Please, Shining Armor. We're just doing this because we don't want you, Cadence, or Big McIntosh to worry about us."

Pinkie: "But I thought we were doing this because you said that they would call the po-Mmph?"

Sunset Shimmer swiftly put her hand over Pinkie Pie's mouth, aware of the fact that Pinkie Pie has no filter.

Twilight continued. "Cadence just got back and jumped on us for a surprise visit, and we don't want to welcome with unnecessary bickering. You can understand that, right?"

Shining Armor took a moment to think it over. "I suppose you're right, but it's still dishonest."

Twilight: "I know, but it's just a little white lie. And it doesn't have to last forever because Cadence'll probably not want to visit for another show because of how much she dislikes conflict," Twilight reasoned, clasping her hands together into a begging gesture, "Just please don't let Cadence or Big Mac know. It's for the best, okay?"

Shining Armor closed his eyes with arms crossed, a look of focus and contemplation plastered on his face. "…Okay. But this is just because I don't want Cadence to worry about anything else but you winning your match. I still don't like it, but at the same time I can understand where you're coming from. Thanks for being honest with me, Twiley," Shining Armor said before walking away and leaving the CCPW members to themselves.

Twilight looked down at the floor. "Honest… yeah, right…"

Twilight's attention was brought back by the sound of Vinyl Scratch snapping her fingers.

Vinyl: "Hey, Twilight. Hate to knock you out of your thoughts, but weren't you saying something about switching our matches?"

Twilight: "Oh... yes... I decided that Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and I are going to be wrestling next, and the tag match will be placed as the main event instead." Twilight explained.

Pinkie Pie squeed. "This is absolutely funtibular-awesomsauce-tastic!"

Fluttershy: "I didn't mind waiting actually." Fluttershy murmured, somewhat frightened of getting jumped by two opponents at once.

Octavia groaned. "But we JUST changed…"

Vinyl: "I thought we cleared that mess up."

Twilight: "We did, but the first match still didn't turn out as well as I had hoped in terms of professionalism. I would feel more comfortable if our three-way match went next as to-

Vinyl: "As to not let us go next because you think that me, Octavia, Lyra, and Bon Bon would fuck it up and make things worse?" Vinyl Scratch finished.

Twilight: "…"

Vinyl: "…"

Everyone: "…"

Twilight: "…it's just to ease the tension, Vinyl Scratch."

Vinyl Scratch stood there for a moment. She nodded before putting her shaded glasses back on. "I get it. Let's go, Tavi…"

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia immediately left for the bleachers to change back, and you could hear them complain as they walked farther and farther away. With them gone, Twilight told everyone to, once again, be on their best behavior. Twilight volunteered to inform Lyra and Bon Bon about her decision, and also told everyone to reconsider their roles/positions for the next match.

As Twilight walked away, she caught a glance of Sunset Shimmer looking at her with a rather disappointed frown. She didn't look mad, but Twilight knew Sunset Shimmer wasn't happy with what was happening so far, and Twilight could understand why. She basically just used another lie to cover up the bigger lie. Twilight honestly didn't like lying, especially not to Shining Armor, but she knew that risks were involved. She HAD to. She loved Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling too much to let it be ruined because everyone wants to be a jerk. But still, Twilight felt her heart sink after her brother thanked her for her "honesty". Twilight didn't want that thank you. All she wanted was to make sure that he didn't tell on them. A thought that made Twilight's mind seek further deep.

Twilight: "NO! It was for everyone's own good. I can't be thinking about this right now. I have a match to win!" Twilight thought as she kept on walking with a noticeable slug in her step.

How was it? Not too many errors I hope. Also, I hope you enjoy the Triple Threat match next chapter because I had a fun time writing it. :-)

Hopefully I can find an editor sometime next week, but if not I'll have to edit it myself. If so, then it will suck. :( Until then, arevoir.
