"To friends" said a raspy voice.

"To friends!" shouted 5 other voices ranging from a southern drawl to a meek mumble. Each of the ponies clinked their glasses together.
"I'm happy we were all able to get together tonight, ever since me and Rainbow started dating we haven't really all gotten together" said Twilight, as she glanced around the table to each of her friends and marefriend beside her.

"Well yeah, thats because you and Dashie have been too lovey dovey to spend time with us!" Pinkie shouted, while sporting a grin at the two receiving end ponies' blushes.

"Yes well, i'm glad we were able to come together tonight. Although I likely would not have chosen somewhere as.. uncouth as this" Rarity grimaced, while looking around the bar. It was somewhat dark and musty in the room, and not everypony in there looked very friendly. One of the larger muscular ponies in the bar caught Rarity's look around the room and met her eyes. He lifted his eyebrow a few times, and flexed a forehoof, causing Rarity to cringe and turn back to her friends with a slight scowl.

Rainbow, who had her hoof slung over Twilight's neck pulled it back and lifted her hooves up in-front of her.
"Sorry, sorry, I know this isn't exactly ideal for some of you girls-" she said looking to Rarity and Fluttershy. "I just was going for a change of scenery"

Then Rainbow smiled and looked over to Applejack "it's not that bad right AJ?" she asked, causing the farmer pony to shrug.

"Nah, ain't too bad sugarcube, but I do think we're gettin' a few too many glances our way" she said, narrowing her eyes at some other gruff ponies who turned away at the glare.

Rainbow had thrown her foreleg back around Twilight's neck "what do you think Twi?" she asked. Twilight looked around the room as well and looked uneasy "honestly I kind of agree with Rarity and Fluttershy" said the Alicorn, the tenseness in her tone not going unnoticed by her marefriend.

Rainbow Dash swooped her head down to lock her lips onto Twilights for just a few short seconds, just about dazing Twilight.

"Feeling better?" Rainbow asked smugly, only for Twilight to shake herself out of her trance and grin back at her. "Better" she replied.

The tensions' relief didn't last for long though when two large, gruff stallions walked up to the mares' table. One a unicorn, the other a pegasus.

"What was that?" one of them asked, leaning one hoof on their table. They both looked angry, obviously about something Twilight or Rainbow did since he was glaring directly at them.

"What was what?" Twilight innocently asked back.

"I just saw you kiss her" the other stallion said, pointing her hoof to Rainbow and then to Twilight.

"Yeah, we don't accept fillyfoolers here, get out" the other stallion demanded. A few of the mares gasped.

"What did you say!" Rainbow shouted, slamming her hoof onto the table.

"You heard me!" one stallion yelled back.

Twilight grabbed Rainbow's hoof with her own and tugged her a bit "Rainbow please, let's just go"

"No, if these two donkey brains here have a problem with me dating you, then that's too bad!" Rainbow shouted, not even sparing her glare at the stallions.

"Yeah its too bad, for you, get out! It's my bar and their my rules!" the stallion grunted.

"How awful, what harm does it cause you that these two mares are in love! It's none of your concern!" shouted Rarity.

"Exactly! thanks Rarity" Rainbow nodded to the unicorn.

"It irritates me, mares and mares, stallions and stallions, it's unnatural and wrong, it's sick and disgusting!" one stallion shouted, as the other one leaned forward towards Rainbow.

"Its not normal, you and your little filly friend here need to..." the stallion stopped once he realized who the filly friend was.

"Princess... Princess Twilight is a fillyfooler" the stallion muttered in disbelief. It was hard to tell because Twilight had her head down for the whole argument, and still did.

"Hay yeah she is! Still think it's wrong!" shouted Rainbow, causing the stallion to snap out of it.

"Yeah I do! Princess or not it's still disgraceful. I can't believe our princess is a fillyfooler, she isn't worthy for that damn crown!" he yelled leaning down to try and glare at Twilight. As he did Rainbow leaned over Twilight (who was in between the two) and pushed the stallion away.

"I'm warning you, get out of my bar right now!" he yelled.

"OR ELSE WHA....t." Rainbow said, her yelling being toned down to a mumble in a second when she saw Twilight raise her head. She had tears practically pouring out of her eyes. Twilight abruptly stood from the table and hurried out, followed by Fluttershy who wanted to check on Twilight just as much as she wanted to leave that bar.

"Fluttershy! Twilight! Oh now see here you scoundrels, I have half a mind to!" Rarity yelled as she stood from her seat and approached the stallions. Her horn even began to light up as she trotted up to them, followed by Rainbow who was following just over her shoulder. Quickly though Applejack bolted out infront of the two and spread her forehooves out wide.

"Stop it y'all. Fightin' ain't gonna solve a thing girls. I'd like to buck a few teeth out same as y'all, but we'd be better off just headin' out" Applejack said, with a stern look in her eyes. Rarity looked from Applejack, to the stallions back to Applejack, until she relented.

"Alright then.." she sighed and walked out to the exit. Rainbow Dash kept her glare over Applejack's shoulder at the stallions, until Applejack stepped to the side into her vision and looked her in the eyes.

"ergh fine!" Rainbow relented, and Applejack began walking to the exit with Rainbow following behind.

"Celestia damn fillyfooler" one of the stallions muttered.

Rainbow stopped dead in her tracks, followed by Applejack spinning around to meet Rainbow's gaze.

"Rainbow... don't" Applejack began, but it was too late. Rainbow spun around from where she was standing and bolted off the ground with her wings. She flew forward fast and threw out her hoof quickly, slamming it right into the earth pony stallion's jaw. The stallion fell back onto a table and his weight caused him and the table to topple over onto the floor. The stallion was on the ground with a little bit of blood on the side of his mouth. Rainbow began stepping forward, ready to keep going but as the stallion starting to get back up Applejack grabbed Rainbow and pulled her along.

"Gosh darn it RD! What did I say!" she shouted as she dragged Rainbow out of the bar.
