Three Thousand Dollars!!!

Sorry for the wait?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I-I dont know Oh come on!

Please Fluttershy? Ditzy asked me to do this and I only know a few teachers

You were both standing outside of the nurses office. Nurse Redheart said she would take care of her, and Ditzy had finally given you a genuine smile that had made your knees buckle. Fluttershy, why are you acting like I am a molester?

I dont know Angel gets m-mad at me if I come home late YOUR FUCKING RABBITT!?!

Please Fluttershy, it wont take that long if we get started now and hurry You smile at her and she frowns in return.

But d-didnt you tell me to come by Building C later? Crap shes right

I will personally apologize to Angel later Fluttershy, just please help me out? You try your hardest to copy Ditzys adorable face, but Fluttershy just busts out laughing at you.

Im sorry You just looked so stupid when you did that She says wiping her eyes on her arm, apparently she had laughed so hard she had started tearing up. I guess thats an achievement, I wonder when the last time she laughed was

I meant to do that! You say throwing her a smile. No I didnt

O-okay fine Ill help you O-only because you are the worst beggar ever She smiles at you and you bring her into a giant embrace that makes her squeak.

Thanks!

So whats the first thing to be d-delivered? You open Ditzys bag and reach inside, pulling out envelope with what felt like a card inside. You look at the To: and it says Miss Bon Bon.

Well this one looks like its going to a Miss Bon Bon? You hand the envelope to Fluttershy who hesitates to take it.

T-that girl asked YOU to do it, I shouldnt touch anything You sigh and retract your hand.

So where can we find her?

Well shes the theatre teacher so maybe the theatre? Fluttershy gives you a feeble smile before looking at the ground and pushing her two index fingers against each other nervously.

Good idea Flutters!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, the theatre! You say as you push open the double doors to walk inside.

The theatre is exactly how it was earlier, except this time it was literally pitch black. No natural light, no artificial light, it was just darkness.

I-its dark in there Fluttershy takes a step back and hides behind you.

Oh come on Fluttershy, nothing to be scared of except that loose serial killer Stabby Joe. You turn around and look her dead in the eye with your poker face, adding emphasis on serial killer. This earns you an eep and her face drains of all color. She then turns around and slowly starts walking the opposite direction.

Oh come on Fluttershy Im just kidding! You walk over to her; she was walking at the speed of a snail.

Here if it makes you feel any better Ill stand by you the whole time okay? The color comes back to her face, but she is still hesitant to go inside.

I-I dont know m-m-maybe we should just come back later You throw an arm around her neck, pull her to your side, and then you wrap her arms around you.

There, nothing will get you now. You give her a warm smile as she looks up at you, blushing profusely with a shocked expression plastered on her face.

A-alright You feel her grip tighten and you chuckle, which causes her to make another noise and further squeeze you.

You walk inside and follow the red carpet going down the middle of the theatre. It only takes about half a minute to get to the stage, and the door had shut behind you so it was literally pitch black. You take your arm off of Fluttershys neck and she squeezes you even tighter.

Hello? Is anyone here? In hindsight I should have just asked another teacher where Miss Bon Bon was

Heeeelllllooooooooo?

Y-you s-should s-s-stop being s-so l-loud

How else am I supposed to find her? Your eyes were finally readjusting and you could see everything better now.

Huh, maybe her office is somewhere behind the stage? You start walking up the stairs onto the slick black floor.

Whats this? You walk up to a pedestal in the center of the stage thats holding a glass vase. You do what any normal teenager would do, you attempt to touch it.

No! Fluttershy smacks your finger away and stares at you.

Dont touch that! Whoa, assertive Fluttershy

Alright geez, Im sorry You back away from the pedestal and make your way behind the stage, past the giant red curtain that was cascading from the ceiling. You dont see anything that could really help you find her, so you end up sitting on the edge of the stage with your legs dangling over the side.

Well I guess we should come back later, or maybe even go back and ask Ditzy where her office is You jump off the stage and drag Fluttershy down with you.

D-dont do that e-ever again! Haha, sorry Flutters.

You laugh at her as you run back onto the stage, up to the pedestal with the vase.

Hey Fluttershy, Im going to poke the vase. You put your pointer finger less than an inch away from the vase and grin at her.

She just sits down in the third row of the seats and frowns at you.

Can I help you young man? HOLY FUCKING BLUEBERRY MUFFINS ITS STABBY JOE!

You spazz out and your finger goes forward, and the vase shatters to a million pieces as it hits the floor.

Oh fuck me what did I just do...

You turn around to see a woman glaring at you with her hands on her hips. She looked to be just about Miss Heartstrings age and she has pale aqua blue eyes accompanied with long navy blue hair, with a single streak of pink.

I-er-This isnt what it looks like, I can explain! You start backing up, and you hit the pedestal and knock it over.

The woman flinches as the pedestal hits the ground, and then her glare turns into daggers, just like Rainbows.

Young man, do you know how much that vase was? OH FUCK ME PLEASE DONT BE EXPENSIVE!

Do you!?

N-no

Three thousand dollars. You just broke a vase worth THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. Your heart sinks down into your stomach. Oh god Im gonna throw up

I-I-I I cant speak

Right now you have two options, either pay up, or work off what you just broke. I dont have any money

So what will it be? Gonna pay up? She extends her hand out and motions for you to place money in her hand.

Or will you work it off? She points to a broom over in the corner, You wont just clean it up, and you can believe that. You shudder as you sit down on the cold floor of the stage, and look up at the woman.

Or you can take the third option; I tell Mr. Hixon what you did and have you expelled. FUCK THAT, ITS MY FIRST DAY!

Nononono its okay dont tell Mr. Hixon! Ill work it off, I PROMISE! You put both of your hands together and start begging.

Are you sure?

Yes, just please dont tell Mr. Hixon!

Alrighty then! She says in a cheery voice, completely different from her voice moments before.

Follow me. She starts walking and you motion over to Fluttershy to follow.

You follow her back into the corner of the backstage and she walks up to a completely black wall. She grabs at what looks to be the wall, and she turns it like a doorknob and pulls it open. You follow her inside to find an apartment that looks exactly like Miss Sharpeners, right down to the table and chairs. The woman walks over to her desk and opens her laptop, while you and Fluttershy sit at the small table, Fluttershy sitting opposite to you.

I told you not to touch it

And you were right Fluttershy. You sigh and close your eyes.

After about five minutes the woman walks back over and places a piece of paper and pen on the table. She signs one thing in the bottom right corner, and then slides the paper to you.

Sign the dotted line.

Can I at least read it first?

I think I have Mr. Hixsons number somewhere around here She stands up and looks around before producing a small sticky note with a 7 digit number on it.

Found it!

Nono, its fine I dont have to read it! You quickly sign the dotted line and she swipes the paper away as you finish your signature. She quickly makes her way to a copy machine and makes a few copies, before turning to you with a silly grin.

You should have seen the look on your face! She falls onto the couch face first, laughing way too loud.

Wha- What do you mean?

I was wondering if I was losing my acting skills, but they certainly worked on you. She says as she lifts her face up and rests her head in the palm of her hand looking at you.

But I broke the vase, it was three thousand dollars!

No, you broke a glass vase I bought for ten dollars. What.

But- What did I just sign?

A contract stating that you will do whatever I want you to do on the days leading up to the annual Red Thrush Mystery Murder Night!

Wait what!?! You stand up and pull out your wallet, No! Here take ten dollars and rip up that contract!

Nope, no can do, you already signed it. She does take the ten dollars though.

WHAT! Give me back my money then! She sighs and gives it back to you.

Some students are just no fun Alright so why were you in the theatre after school hours anyway? Her words are dripping with curiosity.

Well Im here to deliver something to the theatre teacher You walk over to Ditzys bag and pull the envelope out. As you turn around the woman snatches it out of your hands and rips it open.

Hey! Oh come on! Shes ruder than Rainbow

Oh hush up boy, you realize Im the theatre teacher right? Well it certainly makes sense

She goes over the card a few times; each time her smile getting bigger, until eventually she stands up and places the card on the countertop in the kitchen. The woman then walks back over to the couch and plops down, looking at you intently.

Well kid, Ive been messing with you pretty bad, so I guess I owe you some explanations huh?

You just stare at her, unwilling to believe you had just signed a work contract over something worth ten dollars.

Ah I see youre still mad at me, and you know, I would be too but dont you at least want to know what you are going to be forced to do?

Yes. You turn to Fluttershy who was pushing her index fingers against each other again, and she gives you a small smile before returning her attention back to her fingers.

Alright! she springs up and walks over to the kitchen as she says, First things first, my name is Miss Bon Bon and that is how you will refer to me at all times. She pulls out three bottles of Coca Cola, popping each one with her hands.

Got that? You sigh and nod.

Great! Now onto the fun part So each year here at Red Thrush the theatre hosts a giant shin-dig funded completely by the theatre club. She brings over the Coke and sits down at the table with you and Fluttershy.

Its like one of those corny dinner murder mysteries, but literally no one knows who the killer is except mwah, she gives herself two thumbs up before continuing, and the murderer themselves. It usually starts at about 5pm and ends around twelve, a full seven hours of mystery solving fun! Her eyes seem to drift off into her imagination and you snap your fingers in front of her face to get her to come back to reality.

So where do I come into all of this?

Well when the time comes Ill tell you what I need you to do, whether it be dress up as a fancy homeless person with a two story box, or maybe just be the bathroom boy who gives people mints on their way out of the bathroom. She grins and takes a swig of Coke before continuing;

But I was actually just going to force you to take part in the fundraiser for the Mystery Murder Night. Fundraiser?

What do you mean fundraiser?

Well the theatre pays for the whole thing, no funds from the actual school, so each year we set up this cheesy little auction where we sell people. WAIT, she just said PEOPLE.

I dont follow she sighs and taps her fingers on her head while looking at you,

Use your brain.

How do I come into play in this?

Well because we sell men.

Isnt that illegal?

Oh shut up. Well actually thats where you come in pretty boy, she grins at you, We sell boys for the day, meaning if some girl bids on you and wins you both get the rest of the school day off to do whatever you two want, plus we provide a nice picnic basket filled with well picnic food

How is that a fundraiser? How much do guys usually go for, twenty bucks or something? This has got to be the stupidest thing ever to raise money

Did you forget what school you go to? This is Red Thrush Private School; this whole place is filled to the brim with rich kids just wanting to spend their parents money on whatever they can! If I remember correctly she taps her head and looks up at the ceiling, last year this one senior boy went for twenty five hundred dollars because these two girls refused to let the other have him. 2,500 dollars?! What the fuck!?

Alright, but how do I come into play? Im that new kid nobody likes.

Oh youre new here? Thats even better; Ill even make your little paragraph for you!

But-

Hush up, youre a cute sophomore? You nod, and I would bet money we wont get anything less than 200 dollars for you. GOD DAMNIT!

I can see it now, a shy new kid who likes long walks on the beach at sunset while talking about his feelings Miss Bon Bon lets her imagination go free so you decide now would be the best time to leave her. You sigh and stand up.

Come on lets go Fluttershy.

Wait! You sigh and turn to face Miss Bon Bon. Oh my god this TEACHER is worse than Rainbow

What Bon Bon?

Miss Bon Bon. Im gonna end up hurting someone...

What MISS Bon Bon.

Do you own a suit?

Yeah why?

Youre going to wear it to the fundraiser.

The hell I will

Contract! I hate you.

Okay fine, now can we go? We still have a ton of things to deliver You start walking to the door with Fluttershy.

Fine, but if you dont show up to the fundraiser you will have voided your contract and Ill have to tell Mr. Hixon what you broke.

You sigh as you close the door behind you and Fluttershy;

W-well she was nice

You have got to be kidding me Fluttershy

She seemed like s-she was just trying to have fun with you

Shes worse than Dashie So you went here last year right? Fluttershy nods.

Please tell me she was joking about the fundraiser

Fluttershy laughs at you and starts walking towards your next destination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh man that took longer than expected You stretched and looked over at Fluttershy who was helping Ditzy walk. Nurse Redheart explained the arm on the neck way of walking almost exactly the same as you did, and Ditzy instantly picked up on it. In all honesty, you just made fun of Ditzy for it, saying things along the lines of, Oh, so you actually just wanted me to carry you?, and If you want to get married so quick.

I really cant thank you enough for doing that for me

Ditzy I already told you it was really no problem If anything you should be thanking Fluttershy, she got me where I needed to go All I did was carry around the bag honestly. You poke Fluttershy in the side for extra effect which causes her to blush.

So you saved one last letter for me?

Correct. We didnt want to just leave you at the nurses office so we decided to come pick you up to deliver the last one. You produce the official looking manila envelope looking from your overcoat and hold it out to Ditzy between your pointer and middle finger.

To a one Mr. Hixon. You say attempting to copy Raritys posh voice.

Ditzy groans and goes on a rant about how everyone hates Mr. Hixon, and Fluttershy only nods her head in agreement, most likely because she had never spoken ill about someone in her life. You arrive at the main area just as Ditzy is finishing up her little rant, and it was fairly crowded for a school day, but this was your first school day, so it was only a guess.

Hey I never really thanked you for what you did earlier

Ditzy, I already said to stop thanking me for delivering stuff

No for everything else! You were nice to me even when I was being a jerk, you picked me up when I fell down wow that was corny you stopped Tom from Something flashes in her eyes and she looks down.

Ditzy

Fluttershy coughs and then looks off to the distance to see lightning.

I guess we should do this fast, just in case that storm is coming. Ditzy what building is your dorm in?

You are a creep Building B.

Fluttershy?

B-building B you could tell she wasnt comfortable at all having Ditzys arm around her neck, she looked like she was about to drop Ditzy and sprint back to her dorm or something.

Come on Fluttershy, just this letter, then we can go back to my dorm. Ditzy raises an eyebrow and looks over at you.

Why is she going back to your dorm?

Im going to reunite her with some old friends. You state proudly, thinking this will be your good deed for the day.

Oh. Ditzy sighs and then looks at Fluttershy who was grinning at her so widely it made her seem out of character.

Shut up Fluttershy

B-but I d-didnt say anything Her grin fades and she blushes and goes back to looking at the distance.

So why are we standing around here? You ask as you push open the door to Mr. Hixons office.

You walk through the small building to the office in the back and stop in front of the door. You turn around to see Fluttershy and Ditzy slowly making their way towards you, but what bothers you is what you were hearing behind Mr. Hixons door. Is he honestly watching por-? Oh Mr. Hixon, are you that lonely during the work day? Oh man if Ditzy and Fluttershy hear this...

You sigh and decide to bail him out, you knock on the door as hard as you can to make sure he could hear you, and you hear his chair fall and a loud thump followed by a zipper sound and the door opening.

WHAT!

Nice to see you too Mr. Hixon; can I come in?

No, now what do you want? He only had the door open a tad, just enough so he could stick his head through to look at you.

Alrighty then, well Ditzy over there, you motion towards Ditzy who was just a few feet away, has come to deliver a manila envelope for you.

You walk over to Ditzy and hold out your hand. She gives you the envelope and you proceed to give it to Mr. Hixon.

Thank you Miss Doo, he nods in her direction before swinging the door fully open, actually I wanted to speak to the both of you about your eighth period today.

You look over to Ditzy who was twiddling her thumbs like Pinkie. You took over for Fluttershy and told her to go wait outside, and then you sat Ditzy down in a chair.

What about eighth period Mr. Hixon?

My son has told me that you bullied him. He looks dead straight in to your eyes and you hold his gaze.

Ah, you must be ill informed Mr. Hixon, you see Ditzy was the one being bul- But Ditzy kicks you in the leg.

What he means is I got in a race with your son Mr. Hixon, and I accidently ran into him. Things escalated rather fast and all he did was get in the middle before it got out of hand Ditzy looked scared, her voice started out strong, but by the end it was nothing more than a whisper.

I see. Well, you do know of the no bullying rule here, correct? You hadnt broken his stare yet, and you werent going to.

I sure do, why would I bully your son on my first day of school here? I love it here. He finally rips his eyes away from yours and looks at his hands, which were resting on the table.

You raise a valid point young man. Alright Ill take both of your words for it, you can leave. He turns and faces his computer and unlocks the screen.

You help Ditzy up and as soon as you close the door behind her you whisper;

That guy you raced was Mr. Hixons SON!?

Yeah He gets away with everything on campus because well Mr. Hixon is his dad and Ive never seen anyone rival Mr. Hixons stare, that was intense She says, giving you a small smile.

Well thats bullshit. I dont really know this Tom kid, but I know we arent going to get along You say, helping Ditzy over to Fluttershy.

You should have seen half of the stuff he did last year She shivers as you slide her arm over to Fluttershys neck. Wanting to change the subject, you decide to talk to Fluttershy.

Hey Fluttershy, ready to go meet some old friends? She frowns and hides in her hair;

N-no

Well too bad! You say in your cheeriest voice, throwing an arm around Fluttershy so she then had two arms on her neck, and dragging her and Ditzy in the direction of Building C.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait your roommate is Mr. Jeffersons DAUGHTER!? So?

Sure is? You give Ditzy a feeble smile.

Sorry Its just Mr. Jefferson refused to let ANYONE be her roommate, not even her best friend Pinkie Pie!

Well Ive been a friend of the family for quite some time, ignoring the fact I saved her life when we were kids You nonchalantly open the door to Building C for them, bowing and gently motioning for them to go in. God Im such a dork

Th-thanks Fluttershy mumbles as she walks inside. Ditzy walks by looking like an idiot with her mouth open, looking at you as Fluttershy literally drags her inside.

What do you mean saved her life!? Got to tell her some time or later Lets go with later.

Ill tell you some other time Ditzy. Hmm

How about at dinner? This earns you a blush from Ditzy and she looks away from you.

Aw, at least look at me when you reject me You say in a teasing voice, just barely brushing her face with the back of your hand. God this must be awkward for Fluttershy

Shut up She blushes even harder and turns further away.

Im just kidding with you Ditzy, jeez You turn to your right and start walking down the complicated route to your dorm. The short walk there is silent, and each time you look back you see Ditzy watching you, and each time she frantically turns to look at the wall.

And were here. Both of you stay out here until I say so, okay? You say as you approach your room. They both nod and you press your ear against the door.

You hear gunshots and the familiar sound of Rainbow cursing at the TV, accompanied by a cheery voice you recognize as Pinkie Pies. You slowly open the door to see Rainbow sitting on the floor with her back against your bed, eyes glued to the TV. To the immediate right of her was Pinkie sitting in the same position except her eyes werent glued onto the TV, they were glued on Ceviche, who was lying down next to her with his head in her lap.

Hey Ceviche, how ya doin? You ask as you open the door all the way and walk inside, getting on your knees to brace yourself from the almost certain impact from Ceviche charging at you.

*Thud*

Well fuck me, didnt expect Pinkie to tackle me, thats for sure

Pinkie was hugging you like her life depended on it and it was getting more difficult to breathe by each passing moment. Ceviche was sitting patiently next to you, waiting for you to tell him to do something. I guess the training is working

C-a-n-t b-b-re-

Pinkie get off of him, he cant breathe. Dash says in a slightly annoyed tone, and surprisingly Pinkie listens.

Okie Dokie! She says as she plops back down next to Rainbow, ordering Ceviche to come back over to her. Ceviche looks at you and tilts his head, and you scratch behind his ear and nod in her direction, and he turns and bounds over to her.

So we dont get a Hey Rainbow or Hey Pinkie? Rainbow says, putting on a pout. Rainbow, your pouting isnt even close to Ditzys level of adorableness

Nope. You state plainly, falling face first onto your bed.

Wheres Applejack?

She went to the bathroom a few minutes ago

Gotcha. Oh yeah, you look over at the open door, you two can come in now.

Pinkie and Rainbow both immediately turn to the door to see Fluttershy and Ditzy come in.

FLUTTERSHY?! Pinkie and Rainbow both tackle Fluttershy to the ground, Fluttershy letting out a desperate squeal for help just before they pin her to the ground.

FLUTTERSHYOHMIGOSHWHEREHAVEYOUBEENITSBEENLIKETWOYEARSSINCE- Holy shit Rainbow, I didnt think anyone could speak as fast as Pinkie

You chuckle as you see them bombarding Fluttershy with questions, Fluttershy giving you a please help me look. Your gaze switches over to Ditzy who is standing there awkwardly watching them, all of her weight on her good leg, both of her hands behind her back. You stand up and help her over to your bed.

Thanks. She sits down on your bed and smiles at you. Hmm

You look over to see Rainbow still preoccupied with her long lost friend, so you decide to do something stupid. You hook your arm around Ditzys neck and drag her down onto the bed with you, and cling to her.

Daaaw, Ditzy you are such an adorable wittle girl. You say teasing her, giving her a squeeze. You had wanted to just hug her ever since you met her; she was the definition of adorable. She tries pushing you away, but after failing multiple times, she just gives up.

Will you please get off of me?

But I love hugging adorable Ditzy Doo.

Oh shut up

Hey you owe me, because of delivering those letters I have to do some stupid fundraiser thing

Youre going to be in that? Her voice wasnt shocked or surprised; it was actually dripping with curiosity.

Yeah, its going to be pretty embarrassing when no one bids on me I was thinking the max someone will bid will be maybe thirty bucks. You say as you close your eyes and loosen your grip on her.

You have to be kidding me!

What? Too High? Alright max twenty dollars.

Please tell me you are joking Youre the handsome mysterious new guy that no one knows anything about, heck Ill probably even bet on yo- You look up just as she notices what she said, and she covers her mouth with her hand. Oh really?

What was that Ditzy? She takes her hand off of her mouth and says;

Nothing. Forget I said anything. You laugh at her and she blushes. Wonder why she hasnt pushed me off yet

So is it safe to assume that were friends now Ditzy? You let go of her and scoot up so your head was on the pillow.

No. What?

Sorry I thought you said no.

No we are not friends. What the fuck?

And why is that? Ditzy scoots up onto the pillow with you and turns to face you as she says;

Because you still havent apologized for lying to me. AFBJKLSATB I WASN'T LYING!

Ditzy why do you think I was lying to you?

Something in the way you said it.

Alright fine. Ditzy I am completely sorry if my compliment offended you. There.

I dont believe you.

Im going to call bullshit. There is no way you would be laying on a bed with me if you didnt already forgive me.

Ditzy then gets up and limps over to the other bed, smiling at you as she sits down on it.

What are you talking about?

Ha ha, real funny Ditzy. You roll your eyes and turn your gaze back to the ceiling.

Wait your just going to give up? Just like that?

Yep.

Why? You barely even tried to apologize.

Ive been apologizing the whole day, and now I just dont feel like it.

You are a bum

And you are adorable Ditzy Dooooo.

Shut up

You turn your back to her and face the wall and pull the covers over yourself. It was surprisingly cold in your room compared to all of the other times you were in it, at least a good five degrees colder. You feel part of your bed sink and you expect to feel Rainbow pull the covers over herself, but ironically you feel fingers go through your hair.

Thanks for standing up for me

I did what anyone else would do Ditzy, stop thanking me.

No you didnt, everyone is scared to stand up to Tom because of his father I know you didnt know who his dad was at the time, but if Im any good at judging people I know you dont care if his father is Mr. Hixon You feel her lay down next to you, then you feel her arms wrap around you and pull you into a hug.

So Ill take that as you forgive me then?

Oh shut up why ask a question you already know the answer too?

Because I want to hear you say it. Say it

Well too bad. You feel her let go of you and get off of the bed.

Fluttershy, Im sorry for interrupting but I have a lot of homework and Im going to have trouble getting back to building B Fluttershy immediately jumps up and starts apologizing;

Im so sorry Ditzy I forgot about your ankle! Im sorry girls but we will have to catch up some other time She gives them a feeble smile before walking over to the pile of bags in the corner where everyone dropped their stuff when they walked in.

Oh come on Fluttershy surely this Ditzy can stay a little longer? Rainbow stands up and begs Fluttershy.

Yeah please Fluttershy? Pretty please with whipped cream, hot fudge, caramel, sprinkles- Rainbow covers Pinkies mouth and starts pouting at Fluttershy.

Im really sorry but Ditzy is right, we do have to- You cut off Fluttershy;

Ill help Ditzy back to building B. You didnt even notice that you had gotten up and made your way to Ditzys side. Rainbow looks at you curiously at first, and her gaze slowly turns into her trademark daggers. Her gaze slowly shifts from you to Ditzy, and then you finally notice the growing tension in the room.

Never mind, Fluttershy well see you later, dont be a stranger. Rainbow says, walking over to you and extending an arm and dragging you by the neck over to your bed.

Fluttershy blinks a couple of times, obviously not used to Rainbow giving up so easily, and Pinkie has on a disapproving look aimed towards Rainbow. Rainbow sits on the bed and forces you to sit next to her, and then she wraps her arms around your shoulders and hugs you, facing Ditzy the the whole time.

Bye Fluttershy Bye Ditzy. You can hear the hostility in Dashs voice as she says Ditzy, but you cant fathom why she is so angry with her.

Rainbow

Dashie Pinkie and Fluttershy say at the same time, looking at each other before sighing and walking over to Ditzy.

I guess Ill go too Dashie Pinkie says, her monotone voice from a few days ago coming back.

Alright Pinkie, Ill text you later, same for you Flutters

Fluttershy and Pinkie both help Ditzy to the door, and Ditzy turns around and says;

Well I guess Ill see you later then

See you You say as the door closes.

Rainbow what the heck just happened. You say standing up, not letting her pull you back down.

What? They had to leave, so they left. Simple as that.

No thats not what Im talking about; Im talking about how hostile you were towards Ditzy

I dont have any idea what you are talking about. She lays down face first on the bed, putting her arms underneath the pillow.

Bull Rainbow, you know exactly what Im talking about. You look her dead in the eye and use your most stern voice you had. She holds your gaze, but her eyes have a certain sadness to them that makes you feel bad instantly.

Leave me alone. She pulls out her phone and turns her back to you.

You sigh and sit on the edge of the bed, patting your leg so Ceviche will come over to you. Even Ceviche seemed to feel the tension, he didnt walk with any jump in his step, he just slowly walked over to you with his ears hanging limp with his snout almost hitting the floor. Once he gets to you, you pick him up and place him next to Rainbow, giving her a smile before going over to your bag and pulling out your math book and notebook.

You know Rainbow; if I didnt know you liked Phillip I would think you have a crush on me. You say jokingly, trying to lighten up the mood.

After several moments with no reply, you let out a sigh and start working on your math homework.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BULL SHIT APPLEJACK! I prefer the awkward silence

You had finally broken the awkward silence between you and Rainbow when you asked her if she needed help on her homework, and of course she did. It was pretty much your homework; subtract the last two math problems from the book. When Applejack came back, Rainbow had finally broken the silence and forced Applejack to play Xbox with her. Now Rainbow was all mad, most likely because she was getting whooped by Applejack.

APPLEJACK THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE PLAYED!

No sugar cube, this is the first time Ive played this doo hicky

In Rainbows defense, Applejack had gotten to the controls fairly fast, only falling by Rainbows hands about four times before learning how to actually shoot her gun.

BULL FUCKING SHIT! HOW THE HELL STOP LOOKING AT MY SCREEN! Phahahaha, the glories of split screen.

Ya never said I couldnt sugar cube She says as she puts down the controller and sits next to you.

You were lying down on your bed, propped up on your arm just day dreaming. You had finished your homework in fifteen minutes tops; the homework here at Red Thrush was so simple compared to your old school where it took you at least an hour to complete your tedious book work.

Whats up Applejack, finally decided you want to sleep with Rarity tonight? You flash a grin at her, but she doesnt find it amusing.

Shut up. I was going to ask where I can get some food around here She looks around the room before shrugging. PERFECT! Maybe I can get Rainbow to come

Oh there is this one minibar in the loft, they sell all kinds of vittles there.

Vittles? She frowns, not knowing what that means. (Irony)

They sell all kinds of food there. You say as you sigh and sit up.

Alright, since I owe ya for helping me find my way to this here school, Ahll treat ya to whatever ya want at the minibar. OHMIGOSH THATS WHAT IVE ALWAYS WANTED!

You stand up with AJ and start walking towards the door, opening it for her.

Wait I want to come too! Wow, easier than I thought.

You open the door again and Rainbow smiles at you. Maybe she doesnt just want to hurt my children

The walk to the loft was quiet; the only time you talked in the short distance to the loft was when Applejack asked what kind of food they had there. When you saw Phillip looking bored at the minibar, you sped up so you got to him first and whispered to him;

I told you I would come The one who likes you is the one with rainbow hair. You move back and sit one of the small black stools spread around the countertop as the duo approach.

What can I get ya new kid? Im still the new kid forever alone

You glance up to the sign above his head; it was pretty much your basic snack stand, nachos, popcorn, cotton candy, energy drinks, hot dogs, the basic shabang.

I guess Ill have a hot dog and a Monster.

Whoa new kid, I didnt know you liked eating wieners. Phillip Please tell me you werent trying to be funny

Rainbow however does hear the terrible attempt at a joke, and she takes advantage of the opportunity to put you in a headlock and say;

Yup, he sure does. I just cant keep him away from wieners. Her voice was dripping with enthusiasm, and when she let go of you her and Phillip both start laughing.

Alright, whatll you two have?

They both look up at the sign.

Ahll have the nachos. Not exactly what I was expecting you to get Applejack

Ill have whatever new kid got. Oh Rainbow

Alright, two hot dogs, two monsters, and one nacho, coming right up! He says as he walks over to the rotating hot dog machine and pulling out two paper plates. You take the opportunity to inform Rainbow of the situation by whispering in her ear;

Phillip thinks you like him. You back up to see her reaction, but she didnt really have one.

Why would he think that? I dont even talk to him

I may have told him She stares into your eyes for a good twenty seconds, and just before you break her gaze you see a small fire relight in them.

Really? Great. She then turns to Applejack who was frowning at her.

Sugar cube, are you really going to Rainbow just nods and smiles at her, and Applejack just shakes her head and turns around to look at the rest of the loft.

Phillip returns with the food about two minutes later, and in another three minutes the three of you were finished eating. Applejack paid for Rainbows food too, saying it was the least she could do for letting her sleep in our room. Should I get another hot dog I didnt even have any lunch

Hey Phillip- He holds up a finger and wiggles it, you hadnt realize he was talking to another customer. Once they order he gets the guy his food and the guy walks away, and Phillip makes his way over to you.

What can I do for ya?

Could I get another- But Rainbow stands up and leans over the counter whispering something into Phillips ear before you could finish. He raises an eyebrow and gives her a disapproving look as she sits back down, smiling at him.

Okay as I was saying could I get another hot dog?

Sure can. He takes your messy paper plate and throws it in the trash, grabbing another one from under the machine. He pulls out another hot dog and places it in a bun before sliding the plate over to you.

Hey Phillip, I heard you have a crush on me. You choke a little on your Monster, but they dont seem to notice.

Phillip nods his head and looks at the ground.

Well thats cool, are you free this Friday? You feel your hand clench into a fist, and you immediately unclench it. What the heck?

Uh yeah, Im free this Friday He looks at you with a sad expression, like Ceviche when Rainbow puts a treat on his nose and tells him to relax.

Great, maybe we can go see that one scary movie Ive been wanting to see! Both of your hands clench into fists, and you feel yourself biting hard on nothing, and you look down at the hotdog in front of you. Im happy for her

Err, yeah sure

Great, then its a date! A date

You close your eyes and relax your muscles, unclenching your fists and looking up with a grin.

Great! Im glad you two hit it off, I had a feeling you would!

Rainbow frowns at you, Applejack smiles, and Phillip looks genuinely happy now.

Great! Ill see you later Phillip, we gotta get back to our dorm.

Alright see ya new kid and companions.

You all stand up and start walking towards the hallway to the dorms, and Rainbow is grinning at you the whole time.

What Rainbow?

Oh nothing.

Hey new kid, come over here real quick. You turn around to see Phillip cleaning a Coca Cola mug with a rag. Rainbow gives him an I will kill you look before turning around and walking with Applejack. You walk over and he says,

Sorry about that, she told me she didnt like me back and that I needed to help her make you jealous

Make me jealous? Why?

Wow, you really are as stupid as they say you are

They?

Meaning everyone whos paid attention to you in class, I mean in food prep Pinkie was all over you and you didnt even seem to notice dude are you gay? Phillip, your pushin your luck here.

No Phillip I am not homosexual, yes I know Pinkie likes me, and what do you mean Rainbow wanted to make me jealous?

He just shakes his head and turns around as he says,

Cant do that bro, wouldnt want to ruin the surprise now would we? Also if you didnt already realize from what I just told you, we arent going on a date on Friday. You feel a weight lift off of your shoulders, and you have no idea why the weight was there in the first place.

Oh, thats too bad you say putting on a frown, but inside you were smiling.

Well Ill see ya Phillip. You say turning around and proceeding to your room.

See ya new kid. Why am I always new kid?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUCK YOUR SHIT! What the heck Rainbow?

You open the door to see Rainbow screaming at the TV, Applejack looking pretty amused sitting down next to her. Oh, Call of Duty, I should have known.

You sit down next to AJ and watch Rainbow die repeatedly, until she eventually throws her controller at the wall, leaving a small impression on it. She then walks over to the TV stand and opens up a small drawer and produces another controller.

Wait a second, Rainbow you literally have a drawer filled with controllers?!

I tend to break them a lot. She shrugs and holds the guide button to turn on the controller. You sigh and nudge AJ with your shoulder, and she nudges you back.

Whatcha want?

Can I see your phone?

Nope.

Why not? Got pictures you dont want me to see or something? She laughs at you and gives you her phone.

Try and find some lover boy, you wont find anything.

Thanks but no thanks; I just wanted to know the time Your phone was still dead, and you needed to charge it. It was about an hour to curfew, Wow I must have watched them play split screen for a while

After watching Rainbow play for a good thirty minutes, you leave and go brush your teeth and get ready to go to bed. When you get back you lay down on your bed and AJ clears her throat.

Excuse me, but youre in mah bed.

Actually, you sleep in my bed, and right now I want to lay down on my bed. You give her a smile before closing your eyes. You hear her sigh and then you feel someone laydown on the bed with you.

Surprise surprise AJ, I thought you didnt want to get to know me better.

Shut up, ah just want to sleep in mah temporary bed. You turn your head to look at her, and her face was a bright crimson color, and she was staring pretty hard at one spot on the ceiling.

AJ, youre looking pretty red there. She mumbles something and closes her eyes as she adjusts herself. You wrap your arms around her and pull her close as you say;

Good night Apple Jacks. You then get up and lay down on Rainbows bed just as she comes back from getting ready for bed. She yawns and lies down next to you.

Oh Rainbow come on Fine Ill sleep on the floor.

Will you shut up and just go to sleep? Jeez youre getting really annoying with the whole sleeping thing.

You know what, fine. You reach over her and grab the remote for the fan.

Good night AJ, good night Ceviche. You say as you press the button to make the last remaining light in the room turn off.

You feel Rainbow attempt to hug you, but you scoot away.

No Rainbow, you have Phillip, remember? Phaha, trying to make me jealous. Why would I be jealous?

Yeah Your eyes adjust and you see Rainbow just watching you.

I dont know if I can sleep with you creeping on me like that Rainbow.

Ill stop if you hold me.

Ill find a way to sleep. You adjust yourself so you are laying first face on the bed, and then you move your head so it was facing the wall. You close your eyes and your brain starts conjuring up images of things that happened today. By the end of it, all you see is Ditzys smiling face, and just as you are about to fall asleep you see Rainbow looking like shes about to cry, and you immediately open your eyes and turn to face her.

She was still staring at you, but her eyes had regained their sadness from earlier after Ditzy left.

So Rainbow, Phillip told me you were trying to make me jealous You say poking her in the shoulder.

Damnit Phillip Okay, yes I was trying to make you jealous.

Why?

Shut up

You told me yourself that you liked Phillip.

Yes I did, but multiple times after I told you I didnt.

Well then who do you like?

She sighs and wraps her arms around you, burying her face in your chest. She says something, but its muffled since her face is in your chest.

What Rainbow? She mumbles something a little louder, but it is still unclear.

I still cant understa-" She scoots away and sits up and looks at you.

Do you still see me as a little sister?

Yeah why?

Hypothetically speaking how would I get you to stop looking at me like a little sister?

Well it depends on what you want me to see you as

How about just as a girl?

I dont know, maybe stop hitting me in the nu-. She swings her arm hard at your family jewels, but she doesnt hit you. The scare is enough to make you cut your sentence off early and see your life flash before your eyes.

Alright, check, I wont hit you in the genitalia anymore. She smiles at you, and you just glare at her for what she just did.

Um I dont know if I will ever see you as anything other than a little sisterYou scratch your neck and give her a feeble smile.

Why?

Because youre my little Dashie! You say throwing your arms around her and rubbing your face against the top of her rainbow colored hair.

Jerk

I love you too Dashie.

I love you too

Huh?

Oh nothing.

So you were jealous of Ditzy?

No.

Dont lie to me Dashie. You say rubbing your head on hers again.

Okay fine I was jealous.

Why? She mumbles something you cant hear again.

Because I like you Did I just hear that right?

Could you repeat that Dashie, it sounded like you said- She blushes so hard you can see it in the dark, and then quickly covers her tracks;

No I said because she is prettier than me.

Are you sure? It sure sounded lik-"

Shut up.

Okay. Good night Dashie. You break away from her and face the wall, only to feel her wrap one of her arms around you and replace any space between the two of you with skin.

You close your eyes and the images pop back up, except this time the last image you see before falling asleep is a middle school looking Rainbow Dash holding a folded up piece of notebook paper in front of her, blushing incredibly hard.
