You Are You And She Is... Crazy
You enter the building that you, and many others, call Los Pegasus College. You got in with your good grades, but good grades come with a 'nerd' factor. As you walked up the hall, you wondered how some people got here, as there was that occasional dumb blonde. Or dumb blue. This certain area was very quiet, but you heard a bouncy noise, more of a squeaky noise. Continuing your walk to your assigned room, which was 2B by the way. This whole time you've been eyeing the colours of the hair at this school; comparing them to your boring hair... The squeaking got louder until it was right beside your ear, you turned around to face a pink ball of fluffiness and joy.
"Hiya!"
"Uh... Hi?" You were never the social type, and this girl seemed like the opposite of you.
"I've never seen you around here before which is good because then I would be weirded out, I mean school just started and who spends their summer in school.... Bor-ring!" Holy crap she talks fast. Processing...
"Uh... Hi?"
"Hiya!" Her smile kind of creeped you out... But her blue eyes were a different story, "How are you?!"
"I'm... Good." You smiled back, not even matching her wide grin, "You?"
"Well summer was fine for me but it was pretty boring except for that occasional party in which we went crazy!" She shrugged her shoulders, "I'm Pinkie by the way!"
"Good to know." You frowned at her being too social in your tastes, "My name's-"
"Actually, my summer was REALLY good! I made pies and cupcakes and normal cakes! I even ate some muffins!" Pinkie rudely interrupted you.
You brush past Pinkie, if she talked anymore you would've died. You sighed in annoyance, looking at the numbers. 1E, 1F, 1G. Wish I would've asked that crazy girl where my room is...
You eventually got to 1Z; wondering why there are so many rooms. There was a spiral staircase that was a replica of the one beside 1A, leading up to the dorms on the second level. And I just walked around for no reason...
"Excuse me sir, by any chance do you know where my room might be?" You turned around to face a beautiful female with fancy, purple hair.
"I don't, sorry. I'm having trouble with my dorm, also." You respond, not nervous to talk with this lady... You did grow nervous when she pushed out her lower lip, though.
"Oh, alright. Nice meeting you." She said while pouting, but moving onto a polite smile, "I am Rarity. Pleasure to meet you..."
You started talking to answer her questioning statement, but stopped when you heard a familiar bouncing noise. Crap, crap, crap.... CRAP!
You hid behind Rarity, making her squeal at your rudeness. Being so close to her let you smell her perfume, which had the scent of rose petals and baby powder. You spotted the girl, and crouched in-between Rarity's legs.
"You are being awfully rude!" Rarity put her knees together, because if you looked up you would see her panties. Bet they're purple...
The squeaking stopped, and you crawled out from underneath Rarity, "Uh... Sorry. It's just that this girl name Pinkie-"
"Hiya!" You fell onto your back, eyes wide open.
"How'd you..." You start.
"She's Pinkie being Pinkie." Rarity fixed her posture, and Pinkie started giggling.
"Lemme help you up!" Pinkie reached down and pulled you up, her hands were very soft, her fingernails painted pink and yellow in a special pattern, and her jacket grazing over your hand. The material had a terrible feeling.
"Thanks..." You say as your stomach growls, you haven't even had breakfast.
"Oooh! You're hungry!" Pinkie reached into her jacket, pulling out a birthday cake, "Here you go!"
Did she pull that out of a pocket, her armpit or... You pushed away the cake, because if it came from where you think it came from; you'd probably feel weirder than you already feel.
"Pinkie Pie, darling, where did you get that cake from?" Rarity was still there, you almost forgot about her.
"Well you see these?" Pinkie unbuttoned her jacket; letting a neon pink shirt show. She brought her hands to her shirt, and was slapped by Rarity, "Hey! What was that for! I was only reaching for the hidden pockets in my jacket!"
You sighed in relief, your stomach growling again, "What room are you in, Pinkie?"
"Hm..." She stuck out her tongue a bit, trying to read the tiny print, "2C."
Great. You put on a fake smile, "I'm in room 2B."
"I seem to be in... 2E." Rarity sighed in relief, "I've seen this room before; it's purple!"
"Good for you." You accidentally blurt out, sarcastically.
"Rude." Rarity huffed and walked down the hall, looking at the rooms numbers. You turned around to see Pinkie enter a room labeled 2C, you just sigh and unlock 2B.
The room was slightly messed up; one bed made, one bed insane. There was an Xbox and two controllers, with a whole shelf of games. Music was on quietly, dubstep to be exact. You looked at the cyan carpet, which covered half the room. A scent instantly processed into your mind, along with a noise. Shampoo that had a smell you couldn't nail, and running water. Guess I have a roommate.
Bathroom, check. Two beds, check. Two dressers, not check. As you facepalmed at the irony of everything perfect, except for the dressers. The running water stopped, but you didn't notice. The bathroom door opened, a female walking through it with a towel wrapped around her body, stopping around the middle of her thighs. She turned to the dresser, where you were. You turned around right then and got turned into a statue, as the tan female noticed you.
"Oh so they send my roommate to me while I'm taking a shower... Great." So, I'm roomed with a girl. Co-ed schools...
"And it's a male!" She bumped you over, opening up a drawer and taking some clothes out. She proceeded to enter the bathroom with a grunt.
"Hey, I'm not so happy either!" You responded, angry at her response to you. She had medium-length rainbow hair, but it was soaking wet.
"Just go put your clothes and items and whatever into the bottom two drawers, or the closet." She shouted back, instantly bursting out of the room. Her skin tone was tan; as if she spends most of her time doing sports outside. It was strange that she had rainbow hair, probably the most colourful hair you've seen yet. What amazed you the most was her magenta eyes. You went to put your stuff away, and since she was your new roommate; you decided to create a conversation.
"So... What's your name?" You break the silence.
"Rainbow Dash." She walked over her iPod dock and turned the music louder.
"That doesn't explain your hair, if you dyed it then how did your parents know you'd make it rainbow?" You think over it, maybe a bit too much because her next answer was so simple.
"I didn't dye it."
"Okay then... I suppose you're not wearing contacts, either." You go over to the clean bed, putting some items in the side table.
"I'm not." She hopped onto her bed, bobbing her head to the music.
"Well that's certainly interesting." And kind of strange.
"Yup." Well, she heard you through the music.
"I'm-" Dash cut you off with the blasting volume of music, muffling your name out.
Seems Legit
Dash, you decided to call her that, finally turned the music down, but was now yelling at you.
"WHY WOULD YOU OPEN MY DRAWER? IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE!"
"I don't know! I thought it was mine!" You yelled, slightly quieter than Dash.
"UGH. AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T TOUCH MY BRAS, I'LL BE QUIET." She stomped her foot on the hardwood part of the floor.
"I didn't!" You were slightly annoyed that she would yell that, because it was inappropriate to shout.
"Good. 'Cause I shouted that to annoy you."
"Well it worked!" You delivered a punch to her, feeling slightly sorry about it at first since she was a girl.
Amazingly, she grabbed your fist and punched you in the shoulder, "Nice try."
You rubbed your shoulder, frowning at her strength and reflexes. Yep, she's obviously athletic...
"How about we work this out? I didn't touch your damn bras, don't want to, and you didn't just catch my fist." You said, not moving your fist that was covered by a smaller hand.
"So what you're saying is that you didn't touch my bras, and I'm not more badass than you?" She raised her other hand and put it to her chin, "Nope."
"You are a-" You took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Wonderful girl to be roomed with."
"I know right." She let go of your fist and flopped backwards onto her bed.
"I kind of imagined you to go..." You coughed and changed your pitch to try to match Dash's, obviously failing, "Ermergerd thank you, you're much better though. Now let's go play some Halo and bond with each other!"
She coughed, "Idiot."
"D'aww you're adorable." You said with a monotone voice.
"D'aww." You met her eyes. She rolled her eyes, "You would say that."
"Hm?" You were awfully confused at the moment, by what she was saying.
"Don't call me adorable. Even if you meant it." When she said that, you facepalmed... The desk. Facedesked..?
"I didn't mean it, if you noticed my monotone-ness." For a smart person, you worded that weird.
"Just don't call me adorable."
"Will do." You paused to think of an adorable name for her, "Dashie."
"Oh you wouldn't dare."
"I dared." Next thing you saw was the ceiling, with an angry female on top of you. That sounds perverted. Whatever.
"Take it back." Her head loomed over your head, rainbow hair of hers tickling your face.
"Never!" You dramatically said.
There was a squeak of rusted hinges, and a female wearing glasses with completely straight purple hair poked her head in. She blushed a bright red, because at her angle... The scene you and Dash were in looked erotic.
"Wrong room!" She squealed, running away. Forgot to lock the door...
Dash put her hand to her mouth, and started laughing. She fell over, chortling uncontrollably.
"That must've been awkward for her." You said before bursting into laughter and joining Dash.
"Yeah, Twi is socially awkward so she probably was turned on by that." She took this chance to make fun of you, "Bet you did too."
"Okay, that was uncalled for." You frowned, but it broke after a while; turning into a grin, "But funny. One point for you, Miss Dash."
"You mean three."
"Why three?" You just met her, like, twenty minutes ago and she has only gotten one point from your point of view.
"1. I caught your punch. 2. I just owned you. 3. I'm generally awesome." You nodded at the first two, but shrugged at the last.
"Don't know about the third one." She seemed cool, almost 'one of the guys' cool, but awesome is overstating it.
"What do you know about awesomeness?" She crossed her arms.
"Erm..." You knew nothing about awesomeness, "Only that you are the definition of-"
"D'aww, you admitted it." Well, I didn't quite finish my sentence.
"As I was saying... Only that you are the definition of non-awesomeness."
"You added something extra in your sentence." She blew a strand of red hair out of her face.
"What is it?"
"Non... You kinda need to remove that." Ugh.
"Fine." There was a knock on the door, and you got up to answer it. It was that girl who burst through the door while you and Dash were fighting.
"I'm sorry for opening the door during your..." She cleared her throat, "Activites."
You decided to make this girl regret it, terribly, "Well it was rude of you. My friend and I were really having fun, and boom! You come walking in on us for no reason at all!"
Luckily, Dash went along with it and started panting, "Yeah... I didn't even finish off!"
"I-um... What... Sorry..."
"And seriously, you probably are horny right now from that little session!" You shook your head in disgust, "Tsk tsk tsk."
"NEEERD!" Dash uncovered her hair and hopped to the door, hugging the girl.
"Dash?!" She adjusted her glasses.
"Yeah. Hi Twi. I rhymed!" Dash 'booped' Twi's nose.
"Uh. Yeah, you did... How did you get into this school?" This 'Twi' character isn't very supportive.
"Hey! I got into here with a athlete scholarship!" Dash pouted out her lip, and surprisingly looked... Cute.
"Of course; sports helped you. Most importantly; why are you having sexual intercourse with a male you just met..?"
"I'm not. I tackled him and he decided to make a joke about it, I followed along." You focused on Twi, noticing that she was holding a book.
Her hair was more of an indigo with purple and pink streaks; her glasses matching. Underneath her glasses were purple eyes, a different shape than Dash's. She was wearing a sweater vest with a white blouse underneath, and a plaid skirt.
"Don't do that. It creeped me out on levels beyond imagination." Twi frowned, "Where's room 2Y?"
"At the end of the hall." Dash walked outside and pointed down the long walkway to 2Y.
"Seems legit." She waved and started walking, "See you later Dash and... Name please?"
You started talking to mention your name, but your mouth was covered by Dash's hand.
"Bye!" She shouted, receiving a weird look from Twi as she walked away.
"Thanks." You sarcastically said as you pulled her hand away from your mouth.
"Welcome." She slammed the door and locked it.
"And by the way, why would I touch your bras?" You laid down on your bed.
"Because you're a pervert that wants to know my bra size." She walked over to her Xbox, turning it on and grabbing a rainbow controller.
"Yup." You were expected her to take that as the joke you intended it to be.
"Whatever, take a look." She shuffled through her games.
"Okay." You took the perverted chance and opened her drawer; and plucked red bra from the top. Dash turned around and started laughing at your awkwardness.
"Red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and a bunch of white ones." You paused for a moment, "Guess you're wearing the orange one?"
"Nope. Lost that one."
"Had too much fun, I guess." You joined her in her laughing fit for the second time that day, she was probably gonna be your closest female friend at the school. I sure hope she's kidding about losing the bra...
And I sure hope she doesn't pout again.
All You Need Is A Hat
That horrible, terrible monstrosity of a noise... It makes you shiver and fear for your life. That squeaking... You actually suppose it's from her shoes. She pulled a giant cake out of her tiny jacket, maybe the squeaking is her trademark walk...
"She's here! Hide me!" You slid under Dash's bed, accidentally placing your hand in an uneaten pizza slice.
"Who?" Dash listened carefully to the squeaks, "Pinks?"
"Shut up, I'm not here!" You quietly said to her and Dash unlocked and opened the door to a girl doing yoga.
"What the hell?" She looked at Pinkie, who was standing on her head with her legs crossed and hands on her knees. Her eyes were closed, and from where you were, her eyelashes looked beautifully long.
"Oopsie!" Pinkie opened up her eyes and giggled, sending even more shivers down your spine, "Sorry! Getting in touch with my zen side!"
You could feel Dash turning her head towards her bed, smirking through the mattress at you, "Come on in! Bet my roommate would love to see you!" Why must Dash be so... Annoying?
"Would you happen to have any 'Welcome To School, Now It's Time To Party Because School Can Be A Party!' balloons?"
"No...?" Dash's feet got closer to the edge of her bed, then she sat down to make you feel some pressure on your back, "Sit."
"Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie literally cannonballed into the exact spot where your foot was, causing you to almost scream. But you just puffed out your cheeks. FUUUUUUUUUUU... She weighs a lot for a tiny girl...
"Squishy bed is squishy!" Pinkie rolled around, and when she stopped, her butt was where your head was. Cotton candy...?
"Yeah, if you move around for a long time, it'll start to yell!" As soon as Dash said that, Pinkie twirled around and hopped on the bed. She landed on your thigh with extreme force, making you scream.
"OH SWEET CELESTIA THAT HURTS...!" You crawled out from under the bed, grasping your thigh.
"Oh hiya!" Pinkie bounced amazingly high and landed on you, your faces about an inch away, "I was just wondering if you had any 'Welcome To School, Now It's Time To Party Because School Can Be A Party!' balloons because I really need them but I guess I could create them myself... Darnit! I need some cupcakes too!"
You attempted to crawl away from Pinkie, but she continued to lay on you as you went into the hallway. The most awkward part was that people were pouring into their dorms.
"Let go Pinks!" A voice came from the hall, and a few people snickered. But luckily, Pinkie let go and basically teleported to the blonde girl.
This girl had tan skin, a bit darker than Dash's. Under her eyes and across her nose were freckles, and her eyes were an emerald green. On her shoulder lay a blonde ponytail. Her plaid shirt was undone by two buttons with a white shirt underneath, a pair of suspenders attaching to shorts and wrapping around her shoulders. A bit overdone, I think.
"Pinkie Pie! How many times have Ah told ya that not everyone wants tah be welcomed by hugs and balloons?" You burst out laughing. And the accent?! Oh this is just classic!"
"And you, mister!" The cowgirl stomped over to me, letting her leather boots smash on the hall carpet, "Why y'all laughing like a manic, got a problem?!"
"You just..." You wiped a tear away from your eye and looked up at the angry chick, "You just said y'all."
"So? What's wrong with that word?" She was literally towering over you right now, if you stood up she would probably be your height... Same height as Dash.
"It's just so..." You looked at your dorm as Dash slowly stepped out, sneaking up behind Ms. Freckles, "Country-ish."
"So now y'all have a problem with country gals?" She stepped closer to you, causing you to crawl back a bit, "Well, Ah think Ah have a problem with you!"
"How so?"
"Ya have no right at all to be holdin' that bra around ya neck!"
"Wait what?!" You touched your neck and pulled off Dash's red bra, blushing, "Erm."
"What were ya doin' in that room of yours?" You saw Dash waiting behind the girl who was missing her hat, trying to prevent herself from laughing, "Y'all need to put Rainbow's bra back tah where you found it!"
You smirked at her, "How did you know it was her bra?"
"Ah- Um..." Her freckles were almost hidden by a bright red blush.
"Oh hai AJ." Dash placed her chin on AJ's shoulder, causing her to flinch.
"WHAT THE HELL." AJ spun around, making Dash almost fall, "Why would ya do that, Dash?!"
"Cause I felt like it." She walked over to you and held out her hand, letting you grab it. But she ripped her bra away from you and you fell back down.
"Ah have so many questions, but Ah'll start with one. 1. Why does he have your bra?" AJ scowled at you.
"Because he's a pervert so I let him view my bra to let him drain his mind of perversions."
"Ah don't quite think that adds up... But Ah was never good at math so Ah'll give it tah ya." Was never good at math, oh my Celestia I'm dying right now.
"Well duh you aren't good at math, I bet you didn't pass kindergarten!" A mint green with a white streak haired girl shouted.
"Lyra, that isn't nice..." A girl emerged from the same room, tapping her roommate lightly.
"Yeah! She probably hasn't even been to school in her life!" A boy yelled out.
"How the hell did you get into this school, barnyard hobo?!"
"I just don't know what went wrong!" A blonde, wall-eyed girl said after she knocked down the navy blue haired girl with a pink streak.
"Go back to sleeping on hay!"
"You kidding me, she doesn't deserve hay! She deserves a bed of burning coal!"
"Want me to punch y'all faces out? Ah mean, Ah would without permission but Ah'm askin' if Ah can mess up y'all faces even more than they already are!" AJ stepped towards the 'Lyra' girl, raising her fist.
"Sure, maybe after that I'll go get you a hat. Then you'll be complete!"
AJ twisted Lyra around, holding her wrists together by her back, "One last chance, city gal."
"Bring it on."
AJ cleared her throat, "First of all, anime people are retarded beyond the level of ya."
Lyra bit her lip and furrowed her brow, "That can't break me."
"Oh but mah fist will." AJ smirked.
"Likely stor-" She was interrupted by a fist across her face.
"Now all of y'all shut up before I do the same to you!" AJ pushed Lyra into her room.
"Whoa, Applejack. Guess all that work at the farm paid off, since you wasted your summer." Dash held up her fist, meeting AJ, or Applejack's, fist.
"Hey Applejack," You started, "I think you are very smart, they're treating you incorrectly."
"Even though ya don't know if Ah'm smart, Ah'll accept it. Whatever." She smiled at you.
You smiled back and needed to say something, "But, I'm so buying you a hat."
Singing Through The Tears
You looked at Applejack's room card, and pointed her in the direction of 2E. Wait... Isn't Rarity in that room.
"AJ, do you know Rarity by any chance?" You ask while staring into her emerald eyes.
"Ya, Ah do know a Rarity. Why do y'all ask?"
"No reason at all." You directed your hand straight, pointing to the right to signify that 2E was there.
"Thank ya kindly!" Applejack walked to the room, since suitcases were automatically sent to your room when you arrived.
You went to unlock your dorm when you remember you left your key on your nightstand, "Dash? Can you let me in?"
"Nah, the door's all the way over there, and I'm all the way over here." She replied.
"I'm going to get food." You hopefully replied.
"Coming." It worked..? It worked.
Dash opened up the door with what seemed to be a bracelet over her sweatshirt sleeve, but you pretended not to notice.
"Where to?" She asked as you walked down the stairs.
"I don't know, across the street to Burger King?" You laughed a bit at your suggestion.
"Sure, why not."
You guys reached the bottom of the stairs when Dash clamped her arm around yours, "Follow along."
"We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz there was. If ever, oh, ever a Wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because. Because of the wonderful things he does." She sang in an amazingly wonderful singing voice as you walked through the awkward crowds.
When you got outside, you looked over to Dash with a wide smile, "You have an awesome voice."
"Seriously? I hate it. I find it too raspy." She adjusted her bracelet with her free hand.
"D'aww little Dashie doesn't like her voice?" You stuck out your tongue at her.
"No I don't." She coughed into her hand and faced you, "I do not find it simply divine and I will never!"
"Shall we?" You opened the door for Dash, like a sir. Like a sir.
"We shall." She said as she walked into the almost empty fast-food place.
"So, we don't know much about each other so how about we ask each other questions while eating?" You really did want to know more about Dash, she seemed a bit mysterious at the time.
"Sure." She orders some food along with you, and you sit down at a table, "You first."
"Okay... Complete name?" You bit into a french fry.
"Rainbow Danger Dash. Pretty cool, hm?"
"I guess. Your turn."
"How did you get into Los Pegasus College?" She took a giant bite of her hamburger. She can sure fit a lot in her mouth... Teehee.
"Grades are really high." You thought of a question as you tried to take as big a bite as Dash, "What are your parents' names?"
Dash looked down and pushed out her bottom lip, You could tell she was sad because of your question. She looked over at her bracelet, "I don't know..."
"Oh Dash, I'm so sorry."
"It's alright... It's just..." She leaned over onto your shoulder, "I'm glad I could find friends to support me."
You didn't know what to do, so you went to hug her, and when you let go you turned her towards you and stared into her magenta eyes, "Dash, remember this. I will always be there for you. Okay?"
"Okay." She hugged you again and when she pulled back she stared at her bracelet again, "Have you ever not had anyone, you know. For support?"
"Yes actually, both my parents went out on business trips and left me alone." When you said that you heard Dash sigh.
"Bet you had relatives, though."
"Wait what?" You said through your hamburger.
"I don't have any relatives." She glanced at her bracelet yet again, "All I really know is that my sister gave me this bracelet before she got sick."
"That's sweet. I bet your family was very caring-" You were cut off by Dash.
"No. My mom didn't want me. My dad agreed. My sister and I ran away and found an abandoned mansion in which we lived in until she died. I decorated it in her memory and..." Dash let a tear stream down her cheek, "I never trusted anyone until my old friend Fluttershy came along. I started to socialize again and got into sports."
"I'm sorry Dash, I can't relate to any of that."
"Nobody can. Except Pinkie. That's why she became my best friend when Fluttershy left." Dash finished off her burger.
"Wait. Pinkie Pie?" You looked at her, questionably.
"Yeah. Pinks. Her life was almost as bad as mine. She has adoption parents, but nobody wanted me."
"Dash. I..." I think I found the real Dashie.
"Yes?"
"Give me a hug." You reached out for her and she returned the hug, smiling, "You're simply adorable."
"Don't call me adorable."
"There's the Dashie I know and love." You finished off your fries quickly, and waited for Dash, "Do you have any pets?"
Dash swallowed her last fry and wiped her mouth of ketchup, "Yeah, I do. He's a turtle."
"Ooh fascinating." You smiled and you held out your hand to help her up. You headed straight for the door and to the school after she got up.
"His name's Tank and he saved my life." She wiped her eyes from her past tear.
"Tell me more."
"Well, I was racing some animals, don't ask, and there was an avalanche. I got stuck under a rock until Tank came and got the rock off me. I was barely conscious when he got me to my friends." You listened to her as you opened the door yet again.
"Follow my lead... Again." She grasped your arm and started, "Somewhere over the rainbow... Way up high, there's a land that I heard of. Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow... Skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream... Really do come true."
"You seriously have a mesmerizing voice." You lightly smiled over to Dash, who was still humming part of the tune.
"Oh shut up. No I don't."
"Yes you do." You whispered into her ear.
"Okay fine." She rolled her eyes as she climbed up the stairs.
"Sing another song." You demanded.
"Um... What song...?"
"You choose." You waited as she stopped to think.
"It's a really cheesy song... But alright..." She took a step and started, "I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming, but there's a voice inside my head saying... You'll never reach it. Every step I'm taking, every move I make feels... Lost with no direction, my faith is shaking."
"Continue..." You said, it was a weird-ish song but she made it sound nice.
"I don't know the rest." She laughed, unlocking the dorm to a loud screech.
"Looks like Rarity found out she was rooming with Applejack." You said.
"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU PUT YOUR CLOTHES IN THE DRAWERS!" Rarity was really high-pitch.
"WELL THE CLOSET IS FULL OF ALL YA STUFF!" Applejack was more of a shout, and it continued on for a while.
"Glad we get along." You hopped onto your bed.
"Yup." Dash did the same on her bed, "Are you lying?"
"Hm?"
"About my voice... Are you lying?" She said, unsteadily.
"Not at all. You have the prettiest voice I've ever heard." You turned to Dash, who was blushing.
"Thank you." She looked at the wall clock, which showed 3:00pm, "Ugh. I need something to do..."
"Me too." You two turned towards each other, Dash smiling mischievously.
She ran to the closet and plucked out two bottles of silly string. Silly string?
"3...2...1..." Dash threw you the blue bottle at 3, "GO!"
You shot some at the door, because Dash was running over there. She shot back and it landed on your head, you continuously missing her because of her speed. A few minutes later, her can ran out. You shot her twice before yours ran out.
"Fun." She looked around, and at the clock, "Wow. Did that for two hours. One hour to clean up and then we can go somewhere for dinner."
"Okay! Let's get cleaning!" You got a towel and started wiping up the silly string.
An exact hour later, Dash crashed on her bed. Luckily you guys were done cleaning. You walked over to her and laid a blanket over her, giving her a soft hug. She's so cute when asleep... That wasn't creepy at all.
An hour later, you heard a yawn and Dash woke up. She plucked a ponytail off her side table and put it in her hair, "Okay, where to?"
"You choose this time." You say.
"Subway I guess." She hooked your arm and did the same singing action, except with Ay Mambo Italiano this time.
When you got there, it was crowded, "Guess a lot of people like Subway."
"There's Rarity!" You started waving but then just walked up to her and tapped her shoulder.
"Who's there?" You turned around and slid her leg underneath you, causing you to fall to the ground. You looked up to the lady who had her hands in fists, and her legs in a fighting position. She finally looked down and gasped.
"I am sincerely sorry. A lot of creeps roam around here and I have a reaction to anyone who simply taps me on the shoulder, like you did." Rarity explained as Dash helped you up, "Rainbow?! Your hair is pulled back and you did not tell me?!"
"Ugh..." Dash said as Rarity ripped out the ponytail and re-did it, except for it laid on Dash's right shoulder. You found her prettier with her hair down, but you didn't care.
Once Rarity stopped fussing, she ordered. You and Dash did after Rarity, and you sat in quiet to eat.
"So, what sports to you play?" You mumbled through your sub.
"I swim, I run, I play basketball, I play soccer, I play baseball occasionally and I play tennis. I barely play tennis but it's good to relieve stress." Dash only had a 6-inch so she was waiting for you to finish your foot long, "I also play with silly string, but you know that."
Dash's eyes looked at you while you were eating, causing you to stare back and stop eating. Even a few pieces of turkey fell out of your mouth from looking into her shiny eyes.
"Done." You finished off, and left the plate there, "7:00pm now."
"I say we go to a club." She suggested.
"On the first night of school? Technically we have another two days until school actually starts though..." You tapped your chin, "Fine."
"Yay! Let's go to Drink Your Music!" She popped up and took your arm, across the street and a few lots down to a club thingy.
The place was just opening, and people were going in. Please don't get drunk...
"And here it is!" Dash shouted over the music, "Vinyl!"
"Oh hey Dash!" This girl wore purple shades, that hid her eyes perfectly. She was the DJ, of course, "Got yourself a friend?"
"Just a friend..!" Dash huffed.
"That's what you said last time, but have you gotten that orange bra back?" Joy, she wasn't kidding.
"No I haven't, whatever." Dash pulled you to Vinyl, and you introduced yourself to her.
"I'm DJ Pon3, but call me Vinyl." Vinyl smiled.
"Have a drink." Dash sat down at the bar along with you, she already ordered a small beer.
"Beer. Beer?! Strange..." You said towards Dash as you ordered the same thing.
"Dash, new guy tonight?" The bartender winked at her.
"Shut up. We're just friends."
"Yeah." You said, causing Dash to you, mouthing 'What?'.
After a while, Dash had a few drinks when you only had one. She was certainly tipsy. You made sure she was latched to your arm as you walked back to the dorm at 10:00pm. As you got there, you plopped Dash in her bed and laid in yours.
"Day. Over." You murmured before falling asleep.
But you woke up an hour later to a weeping. You looked over to Dash, who was curled up in a ball while asleep, the crying coming from her. You got out of your bed and walked over to her silently, hugging her softly. You laid beside her, arm around her waist, to make her stop crying. Make her questionable nightmare stop. You knew what it was about though...
Her family.
Pink Numbers
You woke up before Dash, still hugging her. Removing your arm from her waist, you got up out of the bed. There was some more crying, and you looked over at Dash... She was still asleep so you placed your ear to the wall. 2A had a bunch of workout music, you supposed Pinkie was stretching or something. When you checked the other wall, a faint whine continued to travel to your room. It was a girly whine, so in room 2C there was a crying girl. Two crying girls from last night to this morning... Great.
You were in your pajamas, unlike Dash who didn't change because she was drunk, so you changed into a simple t-shirt and jeans. You slipped your key in a jean pocket and headed out the door, to knock on the girl's door. You did so, quietly.
"Hello?" You said while knocking.
A girl slightly shorter than you opened the door, her light pink hair covering one of her sea green eyes. The corner of her eyes held small tears, and her eyes were soft-looking. The shirt she was wearing was a light yellow, one sleeve pulled onto her shoulder and the other sleeve falling off. She sniffled as the door creaked, looking up at you.
"Excuse me miss, but I heard some crying coming from your room and came over to see if you were alright."
"Um..." The girl looked into her room, the hair covering one of her eyes swooping out of the way and revealing a bruise, "I'm alright..."
"No she isn't! She needs damn counseling! This girl right here is a complete idiot that can't tell the difference between right and wrong!" A loud voice echoed through the hall, and the source was in the room. Just from that comment, you burst through the door to face a girl your exact height, wearing a white shirt with a brown leather jacket. She had very short, white hair. The tips of her bangs that were pointing upwards were tinted purple, she gave off that 'rude' vibe. Her hands were covered by yellow gloves, matching her sneakers. Her skinny jeans were patched up right in the middle of her thigh.
"Okay, you need to calm down. This little girl probably did nothing to harm you in anyway!" This rude girl was stepping towards you at the end of your sentence.
"But if she stays alive, she'll harm the whole world with her stupidity."
"What's your name, miss?" You sighed angrily.
"Gilda, but I don't wanna know your name so you shouldn't wanna know mine." She growled.
"I do wanna know your name, for bullying isn't allowed here. Your roommate deserves better." You said, "Now, her and I are finding her a better roommate."
"Oh my... You would do that?" She lightly smiled.
"Retard." Gilda went to punch the shy girl, but you blocked her.
"Seriously." You rubbed your shoulder and walked with the girl down the stairs, to the main office, "So, what's your name?"
"Flu-Fluttershy..." She responded, looking down.
"Well Fluttershy, we're getting you a better roommate."
"Gilda isn't even supposed to be in this school; she didn't get in." Fluttershy weakly said.
"No wonder she's so grumpy. How'd you get in?" This caused Fluttershy to smile and push her bangs out of her face.
" I can communicate with animals on a different level! My skills in that area got me into this school, since I can help with the zoology section and the indoor park." She put her hands behind her back again, and looked down, "I mean... If that's alright for me to say..."
"Of course Fluttershy, it's a special skill to be able to communicate with animals. I got in from my 'spectacular' grades." You said as you pulled open the door for Fluttershy.
"Most people just call me a freak since I can actually talk to them..." She sat down in an office chair.
"Nonsense, I tell you. Nonsense." You whispered to her before walking up to the desk.
"Hello, how may I help you today?" The student helper smiled at you. She was the girl in the hallway when AJ arrived, the one with pink and navy blue hair.
"My friend Fluttershy here needs a new roommate, she is stuck in a room with someone who punched her. Gilda, name ring a bell?" You looked over at Fluttershy, to see she was looking back at you.
"Yes it does..." She checked some papers, "She failed to enter this school, and must've sneaked in. I will get her out later today... And may I see where Fluttershy was punched?"
Fluttershy walked up to the girl, and pulled up her bangs, causing the student helper to gasp, "That must've hurt. Here, sit down Fluttershy. I'll get you some ice."
"T-thank you..." Fluttershy sat back down.
"Hey! Fluttershy! I've heard of you before!" You remember what Dash said last night, "You were Rainbow Dash's friend, correct?"
She perked up, "Yeah... I was..."
"What happened?"
"Um... I moved to Los Pegasus..." She drooped down again.
"Hope you find her and become friends again." You walked up to the desk and took the icepack, then gave it to Fluttershy.
"If you don't mind... What's your name?" Fluttershy asked, and you told her.
"Hey, dude." The student helper said, "It was sweet of you to help Fluttershy, I'm Bonbon, I work as a student helper."
"My name's-" You stopped when you saw Bonbon writing on a piece of paper.
"Here's my number, call me sometime." She gave it to you and walked off into Principal Celestia's office. Did she seriously just give me her number when she just met me?
"You can leave, I mean... If you want to... I'm alright." She pulled out a yellow cellphone, and gave it to you, "If you wouldn't mind... Could I have your number just incase someone hurts me again?"
"Sure." You gave Fluttershy your phone, and she entered her number. You did the same to her phone. Fluttershy gave you back her phone, same with you, "Seeya later Fluttershy."
"B-Bye..."
Aww yeah two girls' phone numbers in less than five minutes.
You walked back up the staircase, and unlocked your door. As you stepped inside, you heard the same running water as the first time you walked into the room.
"Taking a shower, Dash?" You shouted.
"No. I'm just in the bathroom with the shower running." She sarcastically said, but then switched, "Yes, I'm taking a shower."
"Okay, I have good news!" You smiled, even though she couldn't see you.
"Lay it on me." She shouted back. Teehee.
"Fluttershy goes to this school!" Right then, the door opened a bit, Dash sticking only her head out.
"Really?!" Her wet hair stuck to her face, the colours darker than usual, "Awesome! I'll go meet up with her after I'm done my shower!"
"Yeah... Your making me feel uncomfortable because you're naked, and the door could swing open at any time by the wind... Like so." You walked over to the bathroom door and pushed it, opening it slightly so that Dash's leg was revealed, causing Dash to yelp.
"Perv." She hopped back in the shower, after she shut the door again.
"Hey, you let me hold your red bra!" You laughed again.
"Shut up." She shouted, and the shower turned off. She wrapped a towel around herself and walked out, opening up her drawers and taking some clothes out.
"Green bra today, I see." You bit your lip, preventing yourself from laughing.
"Yup." She entered the bathroom and quickly changed, then came out with her hair a tiny bit wet.
"Aren't you gonna dry your hair?" You ask.
"Nah. I'll let it air-dry like I usually do." She answered, and headed out the door. She left her phone behind, so you picked it up and added your phone number into it. Also, you added hers into your phone. Yup... Totally not creepy. Three female phone numbers though... Pretty awesome.
Park Party Invitation
"Dash!" You ran down the stairs with Dash's phone in hand, "Celestia dammit, Dash!"
She turned around, and looked at her phone, "Oh thanks."
"I put my number in it, you know, for emergencies." You gave it to her.
"Sure, that's why." She winked and nudged you, and you nudged her back.
"I'm being serious. Anyways, Fluttershy might still be in the office from getting punched by Gilda. Do you know a Gilda, Dash?"
"Yeah... She was one of my friends. Well, a fake friend." She sighed heavily, "Of course she would punch Fluttershy... She was jealous of Flutters because of her eyes. Gilda hated her eyes... And Flutters has 'the best eyes'."
No, Dash, You have the best eyes...
You entered the office, and yet again, opened the door for Dash. Fluttershy looked up and saw Dash, her eyes lighting up.
"Dashie!" She popped up and hugged Dash tightly, "I missed you so much!"
"Me too, Flutters." Dash hugged back, "How's Angel?"
"He's fine, thank you for asking." She responded. Who's Angel...?
"Fluttershy... Is Angel your son? You're a bit young..." You hoped she wasn't offended by that, but what you got in response was a crimson red blush.
"N-no... He's my little bunny." She put her hands behind her back, and swayed back and forth.
"Yeah, chill dude. She isn't into that kind of stuff."
"Dashie..!" Fluttershy blushed even more, making Dash laugh.
There was a squeaking, and you hid under Dash like you did with Rarity, but Dash was wearing jeans, so you could move your head freely.
"Whoa there, what are you doing under there." Dash stopped laughing as soon as you grasped her leg.
"Hiding from Pinkie Pie."
"Oh my... Pinkie goes here too? Which other of our friends goes here?" Fluttershy smiled.
"AJ, Rarity and Twi." Dash answered, "Hey, Pinks! Over here!"
The squeaking got louder, and eventually stopped. Pinkie didn't stop talking since she arrived, and luckily she didn't notice you.
"And here are invitations to the park party happening at 9:00pm! Dashie, where's your roommate?"
You sighed and got up, emitting a happy squeak out of Pinkie, "Right here."
"Yayzies! I just gave Dashie your invitation because I couldn't find you but silly me, you were right there under Dashie in plain sight!" As she said that, you went to get your invitation from Dash.
You touched her hand as you picked it up, making Dash screech and step back, "What the hell, dude?!"
"What did I do?" You replied.
"I don't like people touching my hands. Maybe one day I'll tell you why." She frowned and looked towards Fluttershy, they started talking and Pinkie started chatting with you.
"You know, Dashie doesn't like people touching her hands because it fills her with pleasure-"
"PINKIE!" Dash turned around and slapped Pinkie, obviously angry. Oh shnap.
"Yes, Dashie?" She batted her eyelashes.
"You just spilled my hand secret!" Dash's face was red from blushing, and her hands in her pockets.
"Oopsie daisy!" Pinkie giggled, making Dash blush more.
"No one speaks of this. Ever." Dash pouted. I want to hug her right now.
"Okey dokey lokey! My party will be the most awesometasticful amazing super-duper funnest thing in the whole wide school! Be sure to be there!"
"Will do, Pinks!" Dash hugged Pinkie, and Pinkie returned the hug.
"Okay Pinkie... I'll be there. If that's alright with you..." Fluttershy joined in on the hug.
"Fine Pinkie, the indoor park at 9:00pm?" You were answered by a hyper nodding of her head.
"Here's my number incase you're late or something because that would be terrible and I'll get sad from wondering where you are!" She snapped her fingers and somehow got your phone out of your pocket. Quickly entering her phone number and taking a picture of herself smiling manically, she gave you her phone in which you did the same... Without the photo.
"Hey Fluttershy, smile!" You quickly snapped a photo of Fluttershy, her hair covering one of her eyes and the outdoor sunlight laying perfectly on her bangs. You saved it in her contact place, and turned towards Dash.
She smiled and held up a peace sign, you smiled at that picture because it was so... Her.
"Okay then, I'm starving so... Let's all go somewhere to eat." Your stomach growled loudly, making Dash laugh.
"I have Chinese food in my dorm!" Pinkie hopped out the door, skipping towards the door.
You followed Pinkie and Dash, but staying behind with Fluttershy, "So, Fluttershy... How are you today?"
"I'm doing well... So is Angel. How about you? If you don't mind me asking, that is..."
"I'm doing so-so. But I'm starving." Your stomach growled like it was on cue.
"Hurry uppy-wuppy, guys!" Pinkie shouted down the staircase, and you started climbing up with Fluttershy.
You got to Pinkie's dorm, and when you walked in you were blinded by pink. There literally was pink everywhere; the bed sheets were pink, the drapes were pink, the carpet was pink, even the ceiling was pink.
"Holy pink." Dash said as she stepped onto the carpet, it was surprisingly soft and squishy.
"It's... Nice." Fluttershy clung to Dash's arm.
"Here's the food!" Pinkie handed everyone a carton of Chinese food, and everyone dug in.
After everyone was finished their food, it was 1:00pm. Eight hours to spare... What to do.
You smiled mischievously, matching Dash's when you had that silly string war. You pounced on her and started tickling her hands, her screeching bouncing off the locked dorm's walls. Pinkie took over Dash's right hand as Fluttershy watched in horror.
"Guys!" Dash started panting heavily, "Stop it!"
"NEVER!" You laughed along with Dash, but her laughing turned into the panting.
"Guys I'm serious! Pinkie!" Dash bit her lip, "PINKIE~!"
"Oospie daisy..." Pinkie pulled away and widened her eyes at Dash, who was laying there with her legs crossed and a far-away look on her face.
"Uh... Did she just..." You started.
"Yeah..." Pinkie waved her hand over Dash's face, trying to get her back to focus.
"Is she like, dead?" You questioned.
"No, she's just mesmerized." Fluttershy quietly said.
"Okay... Does she need air?" You leaned in to check for her air, and she was breathing. Next thing you felt was a fist to your ear.
"YOU GUYS..!" Dash crawled backwards, and stood up, "That was uncalled for!"
"I'm sorry Dashie..." Pinkie sincerely said.
"Yeah, sorry Dashie." You copied Pinkie.
"Bye." Dash unlocked the door and you could hear your room's door slam.
"I'll be right back." You ran out Pinkie's door and knocked on your door, "Dash?"
"What?" Dash changed her jeans into another pair of identical jeans.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure..." She said that and you walked in instantly, "Dash, remember lunch yesterday?"
"Yeah..." She looked at her bracelet to signify that she remembered.
"Remember when I said that I'd always be there for you?" You stared into her eyes.
"Yeah." She smiled a bit.
"Well, I should've stopped when you told me too. Hug it out?" You held open your arms, and Dash fell into them. The hug lasted for a minute or so until you looked at the clock and it said 2:00pm, "Better get back to Pinkie's dorm."
You walked out the door and entered Pinkie's room, then nudged Dash, "Do they know how good a singer you are?"
Dash blushed and whispered back, "No, they don't."
You smiled, "Sing a song for them, please?"
"Fine." Dash sighed.
"Guys, Dash is gonna sing a song for us!" Pinkie cheered loudly, when Fluttershy gave out a weak 'yay'.
"I...Um..." Dash cleared her throat and hooked her arm around yours, "I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim, fire away, fire away. You shoot me down, but I won't fall. I am titanium. You shoot me down, but I won't fall. I am titanium."
Dash waited for a while until everyone gave applause.
"Dashie, why haven't sang to us before? You're amazing!" Pinkie said while clapping, making Dash blush.
After a while of everyone singing and declaring that Dash is best singer, it was around 4:00pm. Pinkie handed out drinks that she got from her 'party supply table'.
"Dashie... Can you sing at the party?" Pinkie asked, making Dash do a spit-take.
"Sure... I guess." Dash smiled and looked at the puddle of juice on the ground from her spit-take.
"I'll get it!" Pinkie washed it up with a cloth and stuff, and formed into the square, "Truth or Dare time!"
"Okay, I'll go first." You said and turned to Pinkie, "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth!" Pinkie sipped her drink again and waited.
"What is that squeaking noise when you skip around?" I seriously need to know.
"It's just me, I guess it's the way I walk!" She pointed at Dash, "Truth or Dare!"
"Dare, duh."
"Hm..." Pinkie smiled and rubbed her hands together, "Kiss your roommate." Oh yes thank you Pinkie, I love you now. I can live with you. But I have to disagree or else Dash will know something's going on... She probably won't do it anyways...
"Pinkie, That's kinda inappropriate don't you thi-" You were cut off by Dash's soft lips pressed up against yours. It lasted about five seconds until she broke it. You were just flabbergasted... Dash just kissed you. Oh my Celestia.
"So, Truth or Dare..?" Dash said impatiently, apparently you were staring off into space.
"Truth." You responded.
"If you had to date one of the girls in this room, who would it be?" Dash smirked at the chance of revealing secrets, your secrets. You, Dash...
"Obviously Pinkie. She would be so much fun to date. She'd probably throw a 'happy hour anniversary' party!" You lied, but you were good at lying.
"Yayzies! And yes I would!"
"Fluttershy, Truth or Dare?" You softly asked.
"Truth... If that's alright with you..."
"What would you do without your current animals?" Fluttershy put on a thinking face.
"I would buy more animals." She cleverly found a loophole.
"Loopholes for the win!" Dash fist pumped.
After that, there were continuous truth or dares, until it was 7:00pm.
"We've been playing this game for three hours?!" You fell over laughing, along with Dash and Pinkie. Fluttershy was still sitting, but giggling.
Still have to find something to do for two hours...
"Oh guys! Can we leave at 8:30 so you can help me set up? My party cannon can't cover the whole indoor park with it's party!" Your jaw dropped to the floor at the mention of 'party cannon'.
"Sure! I'm interested in this 'party cannon' thing!" You smiled widely.
"Well, I'm tired from all that singing and daring. I'm gonna nap until we have to set up for the party. About an hour will do for me. Then we can have a whole hour for setting up." Dash yawned quietly, "Peace."
You and her walked to your dorm, and plopped down on the correct beds. Wait Dash said next was entirely true, but yet again you denied.
"That kiss was probably the highlight of your life." Dash yawned and turned to her side, setting an alarm to go off in an hour.
"Oh I've had better moments than that." Lies. I'm never washing my lips ever again.
You fell asleep and so did Dash, and she was sound asleep. No nightmares in her nap until 8:00pm.
Pinkie's Park Party
The alarm Dash set was rather loud, and blasted at 8:00pm. At the very sound of it, you flopped out of your bed.
"Smooth move, smart one." Dash apparently woke up earlier than you, and was wearing a thing you'd wear to a nightclub.
A cyan top that revealed both shoulders and fit tightly around the waist, and normal black skinny jeans. There were pitch black sunglasses over her magenta eyes. Her sneakers were rainbow, but she looked better than you're probably imagining her right now.
"Ooh someone's fancy aren't they?" You stuck your tounge out and got up, to face Rarity.
"I helped her pick out the clothing, thank you very much," She looked at Dash, "Darling, remove those silly glasses."
"No." Dash fussed with her shirt, "What the hell is up with this shirt? It's all flimsy and weak."
"Rainbow Dash, you got them. Flaunt them." Whoa Rarity....
"Rarity, can I just wear a simple t-shirt?" Dash undid a buckle at the front of the shirt, letting the waistline hand loose, "I'd feel much better."
"Fine. Don't bother me when you look like a peasant with no style!" Rarity held her nose high and walked out the door, and a very angry Applejack stormed in.
"Dash! Has Rarity been makin' you wear silly clothin' too?" Applejack was in her shorts, but the were suspenders hanging down and only the tight white shirt was her shirt. She had her boots on, though.
"Yeah. I'm fine with my jeans, but this top is too..." She pulled it over her head, "Frilly."
You stared in awe at the two girls that were just wearing tight undershirts in front of you.
Dash grabbed a plain tank top and slipped it on, then a brown leather jacket to go over top, "I'm ready. But we have to set the party up."
You smiled and walked past Applejack, who went back into her dorm and grabbed a plaid shirt. She put it on but left it undone, "Eeyup, let's go."
"I am indeed ready, for I am Rarity!" Rarity twirled out of her dorm, her hair done downwards, but still fancily, "Let us go, girls."
"Um... Hi guys... D-do you like it?" Fluttershy shyly came out of her room wearing a very light, long dress. It was ruffled at the top, and it was a one shoulder. That one strap was made out of vines, and there was a vine that served as a belt. Her bangs were pulled out of her face and across her hair, making a pattern.
"Yes Fluttershy, you look very pretty indeed." Rarity fixed a jewel on her purple dress, "Complete opposite of what Applejack here is wearing. Simply horrid."
"Hi..." Twi said while walking down the hall, holding a book. Really likes books, I see.
Twi was wearing a simple skirt and tank top, both yellow but the skirt having a white line on the bottom. Her necklace was a pink bow, "Pinkie's already downstairs."
And on that note, you all walked down the stairs. This specific building was only for dorms, but there was a hallway that led to the main building. In the main building, there was a giant park in the middle. It was incased in glass with a door that you could turn the handle and walk in. There was already four tables set up, one full with food and one full with drinks.
"Hiya!" Pinkie appeared with a light pink puffy skirt, which had another layer underneath that was a darker pink. She was wearing a tank top that matched the dark pink, with a black jacket on top. Her shoes were black with bright yellow socks coming out of them. In her hair was a head hand with a plastic cake on it, and some confetti.
"Sup Pinks?" Dash asked.
"Nothing much! We have an hour to make this park a party place, the supplies are over there. They are labelled to a specific place. GO!" Pinkie grabbed some cakes of all kind and placed them on a table, then some alcoholic drinks and they landed on the last table.
"Well, a lady would help... So I will organize the food and drinks in order of colour.
"I'll plan out where the decorations will go." Twi picked up a balloon and tied it to a hook on the edge of a table.
"I'll make a use out of the trees, since I can communicate with them better..." Fluttershy tied a balloon to a branch and whispered, "Just for now, tree."
Applejack volunteered to help set up the microphone, speakers and such with Dash, while you helped Pinkie with the decorations.
"So Pinks..." You put up a balloon, "Anyone singing for the party?"
Pinkie tied three balloons together, then tied them to a hook, "Dashie, Applejack and I! Then we'll play normal music."
"Cool. What song are you singing?" You hung a streamer across the trees.
"Secret!" She sing-songed while placing a candy bowl on the food table.
You walked over to help Applejack adjust the height of the microphone, "What song are you singing for the party?"
"Little Talks, why?" She pushed a button and slid the microphone upwards.
"Just wondering." You looked over at Dash, who was plugging in a speaker. You heard AJ laugh and you turned to her, "What?"
"I can keep a secret." She winked and motioned towards Dash. I don't get it.
Fluttershy was lifting up a bottle of wine because Twi told her to, and the party setup was almost complete.
"Hey, come over here." AJ pulled out an orange phone, "Since we're friends, we need each others number... Right?"
"Sure." You exchanged numbers and talked to Pinkie a bit until you reached Twi.
"Hey Twi, we haven't socialized much together. How are you?" You smiled.
"Technically I would say 'I'm doing fine' but that is not the case in this situation. I am doing very well." She put a check on a clipboard, "You?"
"I'm doing fine."
"Ah, that is incorrect. You see, you cannot jut be 'doing fine'. You have to have a reason or you must exaggerate, like I did."
"Okay... I am doing amazingly well today." You said, "Better?"
"Very." She checked something off again.
"So, is your full name-"
"Twilight Sparkle? Yes, it is." She pointed at a balloon and Pinkie wrapped it around a tree branch.
"Do you have a phone number?" You asked, slightly annoyed.
"If you are asking me out, no. I don't have a phone number. But if you're asking for it because you want to be friends, then yes." Twilight was nerdier than you... Obviously.
"As a friend." You handed her your phone and she slowly typed in her number, and then she passed you her phone so you could do the same. You went to take a picture of her, but half of her face was covered by a book.
"I don't like pictures..." She said before walking off, checking another item off the list.
"Rarity, do you have a phone number?" You called out to her as you jogged over to her.
"I indeed do, and here it is." She politely took your phone and typed in her number, taking a picture of herself. You do the same, but without the picture.
Yay more phone numbers.
"Pinks, we have everything set up. Now what?" You hung up a banner, the last one to be exact.
"We... PARTAY!" Pinkie clapped her hands and whistled, making the glass door open and letting people in, "Vinyl, behind the turntable pwease."
You sighed at Pinkie's use of 'pwease', but still laugh at it's adorableness.
"Sure Pinks!" The enthusiastic DJ hopped over to the turntable, and started playing music. Her head was bopping to the music, her headphones on one ear so she could hear out the other.
A bunch of people you didn't know were there, but some were. Like Bonbon and Lyra. You walked over to Bonbon to socialize, even though you suck at it.
"Hey Bonbon." You smiled, getting a small smile back from her.
"Oh hi I'm Lyra, nice to see that you noticed me." She sarcastically said, rolling her eyes.
"Hi Lyra, how are you today?"
"I'm fine. Still getting over that punch that the cowgirl turd gave me." She had a dark spot around her left eye, obviously something was rubbed over it to make it disappear faster.
"Sorry about that, AJ lost her temper. She's right over there if you wanna talk it out with her." You pointed behind you at the alcoholic drink table.
"Nah. Thanks for saying sorry even though it wasn't your fault." She said.
"Lyra, would you mind fetching us some drinks?" Bonbon sweetly said while smiling.
"Sure." Lyra walked off to the non-alcoholic table, pouring some drinks.
"So, You haven't called me yet and I was wondering if you weren't interested..." Bonbon's smile fell to a frown, her eyes tearing up.
"Bonbon, you're a very pretty, young female... But I have my eye on someone else." You hoped she wouldn't cry, "If I wasn't interested in that other person, I would go out with you."
She smiled and blushed, but cleared it up as Lyra returned, "Thank you, Lyra."
You grabbed a drink and thanked her, and as you heard a squeaking, you turned around.
"Hiya! Lyra, Bonbon! Glad you could make it!" She skipped over to them and hugged them both, "Oopsie! I gotta go announce the first singer of the night!"
"Bonbon, you're good at singing. You should try it out!" Lyra said as she slurped down some soda.
"I don't know..." She bit her lip, "All my songs are sappy."
"So what? Go on up and sing, bet you'll do great!" You encouraged her.
"Maybe I will!" She walked over to Pinkie and asked about singing, Pinkie giving a hyper nod. She looked back to you and you gave a thumbs up. Pinkie grabbed the microphone, and tapped it to check.
"Hiya everybody! So happy you could make it to the party! I'm gonna leave you with a guessing game! The singer that's coming up to sing Little Talks is a beautiful blonde, with emerald green eyes and a lining of freckles over her nose!" Pinkie hopped down and let some people discuss it until Applejack walked up the two steps to the microphone.
"Howdy, Ah'm singin' Little Talks by Of Monsters And Men, but Ah'm only singin' the female part. My cousin Braeburn'll sing the male part." She waved up a tall male with golden, almost firey, hair. He tipped his hat and smiled.
Vinyl started the music as Braeburn stepped up to the microphones used for duets.
“Ah don't like walking ‘round this old and empty house.” Applejack sang, actually pretty decent…
“So hold my hand, Ah'll walk with you, my dear.” Braeburn had the same effect of you.
“The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake…” AJ smiled as she sang.
“It's the house telling you to close your eyes…” He smiled back at AJ.
“Some days Ah can't even trust myself.” Right there the music picked up.
“It's killing me to see you this way.” Braeburn finished off the first verse.
“'Cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.” They sang together, which was followed by a bit of music.
“There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back.” AJ broke the no-lyrics thingy they had going on.
“Well tell ‘er that Ah miss our little talks.” That’s where the name of the song came from…
“Soon it will be over and buried with our past.” AJ picked Braeburn’s hat off and placed it on her head.
“We used to play outside when we were young, and full of life and full of love.” Braeburn rolled his eyes at his cousin, since she was wearing his hat. At that point, they were still singing, just you toned them down in your mind so you could mingle.
"Rarity, how are you liking the song?" You wondered that if she didn't like Applejack, maybe she would like her singing.
"I do indeed like this song, Applejack might be aggravating but her voice is alright." Her eyes kept roaming to Braeburn, and you decided to poke some fun at her.
"And how's Braeburn's singing?"
"Simply divine..." She dreamily said before shaking out of it, "Why must you ask?"
"Oh no reason..." You laughed at walked over to Twi, who was dancing horribly.
"Twi. Twi... TWILIGHT!" You chuckled out, her dancing making your lungs burn of laughter.
She stopped dancing and turned to you, "Yes?"
"You're embarrassing yourself... Just... Don't dance." This made Twi pull her glasses down to the tip of her nose, her eyes actually being there, and not hidden behind anything.
"Okay then..." She sadly said before pushing up her glasses. She head towards the non-alcoholic drink table, but not without giving an unsure look at the alcoholic drinks.
"Have you ever drank before, Twilight?" You asked, raising your eyebrows.
"Well duh! I drink, like, all the time..!" She sheepishly smiled.
"Let me rephrase that... Have you ever drank alcohol before, Twilight?" You grunted.
"Um... No..." She bit her lip and frowned.
"Try some." You held out some wine to Twi, even though you didn't like the taste of wine. You preferred beer and cider.
Twilight hesitated at first, but then sipped some, "Ew! It's bitter..."
"You'll get used to it."
"No no no... It's a good bitter!" She walked off with her glass, smiling.
"Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore..." AJ and Braeburn finished, the music fading. They bowed and walked off stage, a round of applause coursing through the audience.
"Next game! She's pink and bubbly!" Pinkie looked back and forth expectantly, "Oospie! It's me!"
There were some laughs and Vinyl started playing a song, completely unknown to you. Pinkie almost instantly started singing, fading inwards.
“When you leave my colors fade to gray. Numa, Numa-ai, Numa, Numa Numa-ai. Every word of love I used to say, now I paint it every day… Ma-Ya-Hi, Ma-Ya-Hu, Ma-Ya-Ho, Ma-Ya-Ha Ha, Ma-Ya-Hi, Ma-Ya-Hu, Ma-Ya-Ho, Ma-Ya-Ha Ha.” Pinkie bounced around as she sang, smiling and dancing, “Hello, Salute, it's me, your babe, and I made something that's real to show you how I feel. Hello, Hello, it's me, Pinkie-a! I will paint my words of love with your name on every wall…”
A bunch of cheering went started, apparently people loved this song…
“When you leave my colors fade to gray. Numa, Numa-ai, Numa, Numa Numa-ai. Every word of love I used to say, now I paint it every day. When you leave my colors fade to gray, here my love will stay but all my colors fade away. Every word of love I used to say, now I paint it every day…” She continued to hop around, as you yet again went around to talk with people.
"AJ, you did great!" You fist-bumped her, and then you turned to Braeburn, "You too...Braeburn was it?"
"Yup, Ah'm Braeburn. Thank ya kindly for the appreciation. May Ah have y'all name? Any friend of my little AJ here is a friend of mine!" You said your name as Vinyl started another song.
Where's Dash...? She's supposed to preform...
Braeburn walked off, stealing his hat back. You were left there with AJ, so you started chatting, "How's the party so far?"
"Ah think it's goin' great. Ah met up with Lyra a while ago and she said sorry about insultin' me. Ah also said sorry about punchin' her." She smiled at you, and you smiled back.
"That's great! Are you friends now?"
"In matter of fact, she gave me her phone number. She told me to give it to you, too." She handed you a loose piece of paper, and you typed it in your phone. I'll take a picture of her later.
"Good for you, I'm gonna find Fluttershy and see how she's doing. Seeya later!" You walked to a girl sitting in-between the trees,on a bench, "Sup Flutters."
Dash was beside Fluttershy, tapping her foot to the music, and Fluttershy decided to answer, "I'm doing... Fine..."
"Would you like a drink?" You pointed to the alcoholic table, and Fluttershy nodded. As you turned around, Dash stopped you.
"Last time she drank alcohol, she ended up in jail. Just get her some juice. But I'll take a cider." Dash whispered.
"Okay...?" Fluttershy ending up in jail... Wow...
You got the drinks and spotted a blonde girl sitting under the table. You put the drinks down and crawled under. She surprised you as much as you surprised her, as her eyes were inwards facing her nose, "Hello, why are you under the table...?"
"Because nobody likes me..." She frowned.
"Oh come on, why wouldn't anyone like you?" You stared into her eyes, not getting a good look because of the way they were.
"Because of my eyes..." She slumped over, placing her face in her hands.
"You're eyes are unique."
"No. They're stupid." She looked at you and pouted, "Just plain stupid."
Holy crap, her pouting is cuter than Dash's.
"Listen here... Name?"
"Ditzy D-" She sighed, "Derpy..."
"Listen here, Derpy. You are beautiful. I like your eyes because they're different." You made sure she was paying attention, "No matter what people say, stay strong."
Derpy smiled and hugged you, grabbing your phone and entering her number, "Thanks."
You took her phone and entered your number, and told her your name. You got out from under the table and helped Derpy up, which caused some people to stare.
"They're staring..." Derpy shyly said.
"Look at her eyes! They're so weird!" A girl said, slapping her knee.
"Hey, hey. Derpy! Can you hear me or are you too stupid?" A male said, stepping towards Derpy.
"I can hear you..."
"Oh my Celestia! She knows how to talk! It's a miracle!" He said, laughing, "Retard."
"So what if her eyes are unique?! She's still pretty!" You said from beside Derpy.
"Nope, she's as ugly as a... Well... No way to describe your ugliness!" That made Derpy burst into tears, and an older girl burst through the little crowd that was watching.
"Yo, dude! Chillax! She's a bit different, whatever. I recommend you get out of here before something happens that I might regret!" She said. Her hair actually did look like fire... She was wearing a pair of shorts and a long, relaxed shirt. She pointed in a direction away from Derpy, and everyone went back to mingling or dancing, "You alright, kid?"
"Y-yes... Thank you..." Derpy wiped her tears and pouted again.
"I'm Spitfire, by the way. I'm an old student here. Captain of the track and field team. You are..?" She held out her hand and you shook it, saying your name.
"Thanks Spitfire, you really helped my friend here."
"No prob, how about I give you my number incase another one of your friends gets picked on?" She pulled out a iPhone, unlocking it.
"Sure." You gave her your phone to enter in her number, while you did the same. You took your phone and took a picture of her, in which she held up a peace sign. Reminds me of an older, taller Dash.
You looked at your watch and it was 10:00pm, and you had two hours to spare until the party was over. You hung out with your new friends and occasionally with Dash. By the time you were done with that, it was 10:30pm.
"Hey Dash, when are you gonna sing?" You asked.
"Around the end of the party. I saw you made friends with Derpy." Dash smiled and acted as if she remembered some memories.
"Yeah, you friends with her?" Dash responded with a nod of her head.
"Also, Spitfire?" She had a gleam in her eyes that wanted you to just kiss her again.
"Mhm." You nodded.
"Cool, I'm friends with her but she like... Never pays attention to me. Too busy with Soarin'." She shrugged, "Whatever, though."
Dash and you played a few games of Chubby Bunny, and time passed so fast that it was 11:00pm when Pinkie got up of stage again.
"It's been a while since a guessing game! Her hair is as sweet as her attitude, and she makes the best candy! In fact her bonbons are on the food table!" Pinkie smiled, waving up Bonbon, "Now, grab a partner... This song is a bit slower than our recent songs!"
Maybe I should ask Dash... No, spontaneous...
Vinyl started some music. You pulled up Dash from the bench and twirled her around, making her laugh. The music lasted about twelve seconds before Bonbon started singing.
"The night is deafening, when the silence is listening and I'm down on my knees and I know that something is missing because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in but I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them. I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it 'cause I start losing my head then I get up in a panic. Remember, when we were kids and always knew when to quit it. Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it? I don't want to know…” Bonbon started while sitting on a stool, but then she started to rise near the end.
You held Dash's waist, occasionally sticking out your tongue to make her laugh. You kept looking into her eyes, but once you stared too long, and cracked up when she stuck out her tongue.
"I just wanna run to you and break off the chains and throw them away… I just wanna be so much and shake off the dust that turn me to rust. Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour… I need a saviour.” On the word 'run', Bonbon kicked over the stool and you let go of one of Dash's hands, making her spin outwards then back in. As smooth as a cucumber... Wait what.
Bonbon crouched down, her knees almost touching the ground.
“It will never change, if you want it to stay the same. I really hate it, but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained and when it's all you control 'cause you got nothing else to hold. You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go. I don't want to know…” She popped up and spun around as she started the chorus again, you leaning Dash down and pulling her back up.
“Having fun?” You just got Dash to chuckle… Aw, she didn't say yes...
“I just wanna run to you and break off the chains, and throw them away. I just wanna be so much and shake off the dust that turn me to rust. Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour… I need a saviour.”
“Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small… Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall…” Bonbon put her free hand behind her head, turning her head so it would face her elbow, “Save me…”
Bonbon pulled her hand out from behind her head at the word ‘run’, making it dramatic yet again, “I just wanna run to you… and break off the chains and throw them away. I just wanna be so much… and shake off the dust that turn me to rust.”
“I just wanna run to you, and break off the chains and throw them away. I just wanna be so much… and shake off the dust that turn me to rust. Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour…” Bonbon pulled the stool up with her foot, sitting down, and placing the microphone back, "I need a savior..."
You wanted to make a move on Dash... Scratch that... You needed to make a move on Dash. You leaned in and kissed her, making it last until the song's music ended. Which was ten seconds. As you pulled away, you noticed there was a spotlight on you and Dash. Everybody started clapping for Bonbon at first until they realized the spotlight and what it was shining on. They were still clapping for Bonbon, but for you and Dash too. You looked around and then at Dash's blushing face.
"Now that's what a badass would do!" Spitfire shouted out, with caused a bunch of people to start whooping and fist-pumping the air.
What Happened..?
After that party, you felt pretty awesome. Everyone just saw you kiss Dash. Everyone. You had no words for Dash the rest of the night, you kept quiet until she fell into a deep sleep.
"AWW YEEAAAH!" You shouted, making it echo through the room. I am so boss.
There was a quiet knock on the door, and you opened it. Bonbon was there, and she had her arms behind her back, and a blush on her face. She looked up at you and blushed more.
"So... It's Rainbow Dash that you like..." That impacted you like an arrow to the knee. During Bonbon's singing, you kissed the person you said you liked more than her...
"By Celestia, Bonbon! I'm so sorry!" You clasped your hand over your mouth.
"It's alright... Just... Friends?" She frowned.
"Sure. Friends." You uncover your mouth and smile, holding out your hand for a hand-shake. She shook your hand and hugged you, then left. She bumped into a fuming Rarity, who just shooed her off. You started closing the door like you didn't see the red-faced fanciful female, but she stopped it with her heel.
"Seems you set quite a scene at the party, hm?" Rarity twitched her left eye, which made you nervous.
"I guess..." You scratched behind your neck.
"Took Braeburn's attention away from me, since he went to 'fist-pump' at your 'awesomeness'..." She scowled.
"Rarity, you're making me uncomfortable..."
"Oh I am, Am I?!" She twitched again, "You made me feel uncomfortable! Braeburn was all over me! Then boom..! He turns his attention towards you and Dash!"
"Okay, bye. It isn't my fault that he decided that we were more interesting than you." You shut the door, and there was a heavy knock on the door, "Oh crap."
You walked over to the door and opened it a bit, and saw AJ, "Phew. I thought you were Rarity fuming about your cousin thinking Dash and I were more interesting than her."
"Nah, Ah came over to give you a fist-bump for that amazin' feat! So spontaneous, Ah haven't seen Dash blush that hard in... Ever!" She did fist-bump you, harder than expected.
"Thank you, now please let me sleep..."
"Seeya later!" She walked off to her room down the hall, entering to a probably terrifying Rarity.
You closed the door again, and there was a knock, you opened it, "What now...!?"
"That was boss, dude!" Vinyl said, jumping up into the air, "Seriously, no one has ever tried that before. Ever."
"Since when did you go to this school?" You asked, raising your eyebrows.
"Since you got here, I'm in dorm 2D. Love having the room to myself. Me, myself and I." She took out her phone and handed you it, "Don't think I got your number, type it in anyways. Whatever."
You exchanged numbers and waved to her, wondering one thing. Does she wear those glasses to sleep..?
Dash was in her pajamas, so you quickly changed and hopped into your bed, and there was a knock on the wall.
"Hey, Psssst! PSSST! HELLO?!" Pinkie was knocking on the wall, attempting to whisper, "ARE YOU THERE?"
"Yes! What do you want?" You angrily said.
"Just saying that you made a ultra fabtacular awesomeness-filled move on Dash at the party! You, are one that shouldn't be challenged!" She could hear her smile... Hear it.
"G'night Pinks." You yawned.
"Nighty night, don't let the bed cupcakes bite!" Oh, Pinkie...
That night was of peace and quiet, no whimpering Dash, no whimpering Fluttershy and definitely no more distractions. When you woke up, you saw that Dash was still asleep. So, you hopped in the shower and got dressed. By the time you were done, Dash was waking up. She let out possibly the cutest yawn ever, and you smiled at that.
"You awake, Dash?"
"No, leave a message after the beep. Beep." She said in a monotone voice while turning onto her right side, yawning again.
"Okay." Clearing your throat, you started, "Hi Dash, It's me. I was gonna go get some breakfast since today is the last day until school starts. Seeya later."
"Leave me be with my hangover." She did drink ten cups of strong cider...
"Will do, Dashie."
"Don't call me thaaaaaaaaaaat." She whined.
"Why not? We did kiss last night." You wanted her to remember so badly...
"Oh right, I remember that." She sat up, stretching, "Pretty awesome."
"Anyways..." You didn't know what to say.
"Can you check my phone for any drunk texts. Pwetty pwease."
"Fine." You scrolled through her chats and saw no drunk texts, "Nothing."
There was a knock on the door, and you went over to see who it was, "Oh hi Fluttershy."
"Hi... I was going to tell you something but I guessed you and Dashie are dating now... So I brought Angel to show you!" She pulled a small bunny out from behind her back, it giving me a blatant stare, "Isn't he adorable?"
"Yeah! He is, actually. Would you like to come to breakfast at Betty's Breakfast Bundles?"
"Oh...my... Like a... date?" She blushed.
"No, just because I can hear your stomach growling."
"Okay..." She smiled.
After a short walk to the breakfast place, you and Fluttershy sat down at an assigned bench. She looked at the menu and folded away the page where there was meat included, and she looked at the vegetarian menu.
"You're vegetarian..?" You ask her, and she poked her face over the menu.
"Yes... I can't bear eating animals."
"Well then, I'll have something from that menu, too. If you don't like eating animals, I bet you don't wanna see me eating animals." You flipped to the vegetarian side and looked at the salads, which looked surprisingly delicious. A waitress came up wearing a uncomfortably short-looking dress, and she was constantly pulling it down. Her hair was an oil black, which was straight and went down to her shoulders. Her bright pink eyes matched her bright pink bowtie.
"Hello, I am Octavia and I will be your waitress for this morning. What can I get you?" She said.
"I'll have the Once Smitten Twice Salad." You say.
"Make that two... I mean, If that's alright with you..." Fluttershy hid behind her menu, but put it down when Octavia asked for drinks.
"A Sprite, please." Fluttershy ordered water, when you ordered the Sprite.
"So, Flutters. How'd you become friends with Dash?"
"Well, we were in grade school and everyone was bullying me for being too shy, and Dash defended me. She even ran a race in my honour. When they started, I fell down beside a squirrel and it was hurt. So I helped it and figured out I was good with animals!" She smiled.
A few minutes later, Octavia came with your drinks on a tray. Both her hands were on the tray, but she let go with one hand to pull down her dress. The tray got off balance, and so did Octavia. It tipped over along with her, the water and sprite soaking her dress. The bad thing is that the top of her work dress was white, with the bottom black and a white apron. As Octavia got up, she noticed the white on her dress was now see-through, revealing her black bra. Of course, she picked up the tray and held it to her chest.
"I am so sorry! I will get you some more drinks..." You put your hand on her shoulder as she started walking away.
"No, Octavia. It's alright. Go change." You pull out your wallet and give her a hundred dollars, your parents gave you a boatload of money to spend.
"Thank you, sir."
"Please, call me-" Octavia said your name before you finished, "What the..."
"I was at Pinkie's party last night, I left at ten though. I had to go to cello practice... And I had to get a reassigned room." She kept the tray held to her chest, but pulled out her phone and gave it to you. You gave her your phone and you exchanged numbers.
"Um..." You turned to Fluttershy and sat down, asking for a new waiter since Octavia was changing. A few minutes later, a new waitress appeared with light blue, toothpaste looking hair.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie is here to take your order!" She rolled the 'r' in her name, and didn't adjust her short dress at all. She seemed to like it...
"I'll have the Once Smitten Twice Salad." You say again, this time to Trixie.
"Make that two... I mean, If that's alright with you..." Fluttershy said.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie will be back with your drinks and food! Guessing that you wanted Sprite and water from when Octavia slipped..." She walked off, and quickly came back. She put the food down and smirked, "Enjoy your meal."
You and Fluttershy ate away, and you turned your head to see the front desk guy giving a pervert smile at all the waitresses that walked by, mostly the ones with nice legs. Like Octavia and Trixie... Wait, no brain.
When you were done, Trixie came back, "The Great and Powerful Trixie is here to collect your money."
You paid for Fluttershy's meal along with yours, and waved to Trixie and Octavia, who was changed and was serving another table. As you walked by the front desk, and stepped on the guys foot, bringing his gaze away from Octavia.
"Huh. I swear someone just stepped on my foot... Anyways..." He turned back to look at Octavia, but she was surprisingly right there.
"I hate these dresses, you know that? Especially that you have the nerve to look at our legs while in them." Octavia slapped him across the face, and ripped her apron off, "I quit!"
"What just happened?" He said, rubbing the side of his face.
Storm's A Brewin'
Fluttershy and you silently walked back to the dorms, not talking at all. Right before you opened the front door for Fluttershy, you saw Octavia in her dress... Without an apron.
"Hey Octy!" Why the hell did I call her that.
She sighed loudly, "Hello."
"Shouldn't you still be at work?"
"I quit!" She threw her arms up, but slammed them down to pull on her dress.
"Oh. My..." Fluttershy peeked her head outside, as she had walked inside the building.
"He has no right to be looking at Trixie and I like that!" She was red from anger, and maybe embarrassment because of her dress, "He chose these dresses, and I knew exactly why."
"Octy. Calm down." I said it again...
"You made an excellent choice." You waved your arm inside, signaling for Octavia to follow, "Go change into a more appropriate outfit though... And burn that one."
"I will do so." She huffed and stepped up the stairs, with Fluttershy behind her. You quickly caught up.
As you entered the hall, you got a high-five from a random dude, and he gave Octavia a whistle. She responded with a stamp of her foot and a slap across his face. Celestia, what happened next made you wither a bit inside. Vinyl slammed her door and stepped outside, looking at Octavia. She stared for a long time before she whistled.
"Got anything shorter, waitress?" She smirked.
"I am not in the mood for such crude remarks," Octavia bit her lip for a name, "Ms. Glasses. Or by the way you look, Mrs. Glasses."
"Ooh, feisty." Vinyl was barely shorter than Octavia, and they were complete opposites, "Exactly how I like 'em."
"What exactly is your name?"
"DJ Pon3. You can call me Vinyl, waitress."
"I have a name." Octavia sneered.
"And that is..?"
"Octavia." Every syllable in her name made her pull on her dress.
"Your nickname's Tavi. Mkay? Mkay." She slid her headphones back over her hair, so they fit perfectly on her ears.
Octavia turned to you, "To be able to change, I need to get my new room. Can you come with me, in case anyone rude whistles?"
You laughed at Octavia for putting emphasis on 'anyone rude', "Sure, Octy-avia."
"Just call her Tavi!" Vinyl yelled as she walked down the stairs. You gave a questioning look to Octavia, which made her nod with such sophistication.
"Let's go!" You wrapped your arm around Tavi's arm, and started proudly walking down the stairs. I rememeber this from someone else... Meh. They're probably not important.
You got down the stairs and let Tavi adjust her dress before continuing, heading straight for the dorm office. When you entered, Tavi bit her lip.
"What if I get roomed with a slob?" She went to bite her nails but stopped herself, her pupils reducing to pinpricks, "Or... Ms. Scratch?"
"Hello! How may... I... help you..." Bonbon happily said as she came out of Principal Celestia's office, but she looked at you and frowned, "Today..."
"I am Octavia, and I have been scheduled for a new dorm. If you do not mind, may I know the number?"
"Yes... 2D." Bonbon said, making your eyes widen too much for them to be human. Octavia turned to you and did the same thing, shaking her head.
"No no no no no... I must be able to get another room!"
"One dorm change per student, sorry." Bonbon opened up Octavia's folder and checked off something, then walked into the principle office to scan it through. As she walked off, she said, "Not really."
"Vinyl?" Octavia said.
"Vinyl." You watched as Octavia twitched her right eye and broke her posture, "Mistakes aren't meant to be made!"
She caught that one word, and straightened up, "Mistakes are not meant to be made."
"Yes they are, and they're meant to be learnt from. Maybe you and Vinyl can bond."
"I do not want to bond with her!" She crossed her arms over her chest like a child would do.
You hugged Octavia and told her to put up with it, then slowly walked upstairs with the scared cellist. She pulled out her key that Bonbon gave her and swiped it in the scanner, unlocking the door. She knocked before entering, for no reason because Vinyl left. She saw her bags stuffed in a corner, as when she got her room change and the janitor brought her bags here, Vinyl probably kicked them away. Octavia unpacked three out of her four bags, but hesitating to unpack the last. Four bags? Holy crap.
"Would you mind leaving? This bag has my underclothing in it..."
"Sure!" You lightly blushed and closed the door, but you stayed there for a minute or two, then knocked, "Can I come back in now?"
"I am changing, for Celestia's sake." You heard a zipper and wondered what she would be wearing that required a zipper. Could it be... No. Shut up brain.
Finally, after ten minutes, the door opened. Octavia was wearing a gray top with long sleeves, and a bit of puff in the shoulders. Her bowtie was still there, matching her eyes. Her pants were black with a magenta trim, and she was wearing tall boots. That's where the zipper noise came from.
"Heads up Tavi, Vinyl's walking down the hall." This caused Octavia to flinch a bit, and she looked back into the room. She released a 'phew' sound.
"Hey, waitress!"
"Name is Octavia."
"Hey, Tavi!" She mimicked herself from before, replacing the name.
"Hello Vinyl."
"What are you doing in my room?" Vinyl said, but gasping at the end with a giant smile, "I didn't want a roommate, but I get a hot chick? Awesome!"
"You revolting mess." Vinyl smiled at this remark.
"Getting along already!" She pushed Octavia in the room, and was about to close it when Octavia mouthed the words 'Help me.' Sorry Tavi, you're on your own.
You got up and walked two rooms over, and into your room. Dash was awake and playing Xbox, CoD to be exact. Multiplayer, it made her rage a few times. She was chatting with people, too.
"Hey Dash."
"WHOA GUYS DASH HAS A MALE IN HER ROOM." Someone shouted.
"SLUUUUUUUUUUUUT." Another male shouted.
"YOU GO GIRL." A girl screeched.
"I'M HORNY." The first guy who talked said.
"Focus on the damn game." Props to you, bro.
"Uh, sorry. My teammates are complete idiots." She started explaining how she's at a co-ed college.
"What one Dash, I wanna hunt you down then strap you to your own bed, listening to you scream-"
"You are a creep, can we get back to the game?" The tactical one said.
"I haven't had a girlfriend before, and I want one!"
"That isn't how you treat a girl! You send them to the kitchen."
"SHUT UP GUYS." Dash shouted before muting her microphone.
"Nice friends you have there, Dash." You sarcastically said, rolling your eyes.
"Sorry about that." Dash unmuted her mic, "They're ignorant jerks. Except Blossomforth. She's smarter than the rest."
"Thank you, Dash." Tactical one = Blossomforth.
Dash muted herself again, laughing and facepalming, "What do you want?"
"To come into my room..?" You said, but then you're reminded of something, "Vinyl is in room 2D, you know that, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well a girl, Octavia, is roomed with her. They're complete opposites." You started smiling, along with Dash.
"Good for Oct... Octav..." Dash tapped her chin, "What was her name again?"
"Octavia... I just said that a second ago." I said that with hostility... Hope she doesn't get sad.
Dash glared at you, "Shut up."
"You're adorable, Dashie."
"Don't call me that!" She crossed her arms, and an ear-bursting loudness came from her headset.
"DASH! GET BACK TO THE GAME." Over that, you didn't hear your dorm's door open. Dash plucked up her controller, and started playing again.
You heard two footsteps, but ignored them. You couldn't ignore the pale-ish arms that spun you around though. You got a quick glimpse of Pinkie, then her blue eyes really close to your face, and the taste of candy-canes. As Pinkie broke free from the surprise kiss, you put your hand out to lecture her. But she disappeared. You turned towards Dash, who's controller dropped instantly, as she saw.
"One second guys. My roommate's a cheater." She said into the mic, before she quit the game, "The guy who kissed me romantically last night just kissed my best friend out of the blue."
Hi, I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie
"I..." You started, trying to explain it to Dash.
"SHUT UP."
"I didn't kiss her! She kissed me!"
"Either way, I can't believe it!" She pushed by you and out the door, with a loud knock on Pinkie's door. Being the person you are, you put your ear to the wall to listen.
"Hiya Dashie!"
"Don't freakin' call me that, Pinkamena." Dash responded.
"Wha-What?"
"I can't believe you just waltzed into our dorm and made-out with the guy who romantically kissed me last night!"
"I'm... I'm sorry Dashie."
"I'm Rainbow to you!" That sentence hit the wall, and basically made your ear burn. But you kept listening, "I can't process this! I thought you were one of my friends."
There was a faded squeak, and a whimper, "We... We are friends."
"Not anymore!" Dash stomped out of there, and back to the room, "And you!"
"Me?" You didn't want it to be you.
"Yes, you! Why'd you let her kiss you? Just push her away or something!" She said as a gray-pink figure slowly slumped to the doorway.
The person had long, straight hair. It was pink, but gray at the same time. Her skin was pale, with a hint of gray. Her dress was hanging straight down like her hair, a gray jacket overlapping the top of the dress. On the bottom on the dress there was three popped balloons. She kind of reminded you of Pinkie.
"D-Dashie..." She said, making Dash spin around.
"NO, PINKIE!" P-P-Pinkie?!
"Dash, that isn't Pinkie. It looks nothing like her." You were wrong.
"I am Pinkie... Full name Pinkamena Diane Pie." She said, sadly.
"But... The balloons on your dress are popped... Your hair is straight..." You were extremely surprised at the 'new' Pinkie.
"Dashie... You really don't want to be my friend anymore?" She pouted.
"Duh!"
Pinkie burst into tears, falling to the ground, "B-but Dashie!"
"Go cry to your parties." Dash crawled onto her bed, closing her eyes.
"Pinkie?" You whispered.
"What do you want...?" She looked up to you, her once glowing blue eyes now a dark gray, "You probably don't like me either..."
"Pinkie, I am still your friend. But we need to have a talk about that Truth or Dare game." You reached down and helped Pinkie up, but she slouched over and walked very slowly as you entered her room.
"What about the Truth or Dare game?" She flopped down onto her floor.
"You know when Dash asked me who I would date? They had to be in the game at the moment."
"Y-Yes... And you chose me."
"But I really like Dash. I couldn't tell her though. I'm sorry, Pinkie..." You dropped your eyes, "I didn't know what to do."
"It's alright... But... Do you still like me?"
"Yes Pinkie. You are a very bubbly girl. But not right now... Please be Pinkie again..." You pleaded, missing the happy Pinkie.
"I just lost a friend. I don't know if I can." She looked at the ground.
"Okay, Pinkie. Would gaining a friend cheer you up?" You thought about Octavia, maybe Pinkie didn't know her.
"No, I need everyone to be my friend."
"Be right back, Pinkie." You walked out the door, and knocked on Fluttershy's door.
"H-hello?" She opened the door slowly, "Oh. Hello."
"Can you go down to Pinkie's dorm? Pinkie's sad." You pointed to the pink coloured door down the hall.
"Sure." She slipped her feet into some bunny slippers and started down the hall. She was wearing fleece pajamas that were the colour of her eyes, which gave her a cute factor. Even more of a cute factor than before.
You then quickly ran over to Rarity and Applejack's door. They answered, well, AJ did. Rarity was applying makeup.
"Howdy! Watcha need?" She had her hair down, she probably just woke up or was just doing her hair.
"Pinkie's sad. I need you and Rarity to come down to Pinkie's dorm."
"Oh no. Pinkie, out of all people, is sad? That ain't good." She turned around and yelled at Rarity to finish up quickly or get up now.
"Applejack, I am doing my makeup." Rarity shouted.
"Pinkie's sad."
"I am coming!" She grabbed a white robe and put it on, covering up whatever she was trying to cover up, "What room is she in?"
"2A, just run over there. I have to get Twilight."
"A lady does not run." Rarity put her hair in a quick, but fashionable, ponytail. It wasn't curled yet, so she said it would do, "My robe might fall off."
"Yeah, wouldn't want anyone to see your pajamas. Wait, ya don't wear pajamas, ya wear your underclothing." AJ smirked, running to Pinkie's dorm.
"Applejack!" Rarity blushed a crimson red.
"It's alright Rarity, but seriously. Go to her room and comfort her." You said as you wondered what room Twilight was in. The library!
The library was tall enough to take up both floors, the shelves reaching to the ceiling. There was a door to the library at the top and at the bottom, just the top door had a staircase leading down to a circle. In the middle of the library was a circle, with some tables. You entered the circle to see Twilight reading a romance novel. She heard you coming and looked over the book, blushing. She didn't want to throw the book, that would be destructible.
"Hey Twi." You said while reading the book title. Notes of Music... I've heard of that book.
"Hello, how are you today?" Twilight placed her book down, the cover facing upwards.
"I'm doing fi-" You cut yourself off, remembering Twilight at the party, "I am doing excellent. But Pinkie isn't."
"Is she sad?" I think Twilight's psychic..
"Yes..." You said, smiling.
"By Celestia that's rare. I'm coming right now." Twilight got up and started running up the stairs, you close behind. She got to the door, and being the gentleman you are, you opened it for her. I did this for somebody... I don't remember who, though.
"Thank you," She looked down the hall, "What room?"
"2A." That made her run straight to the room with the other four girls.
"Where's Dash?" She turned to you.
"She kinda caused this so... I didn't get her." You awkwardly said, hoping that Dash wasn't listening to the conversation like you did.
"Typical Dash." Twilight sat down beside Fluttershy, trying to help Pinkie, "Pinkie?"
"Hi Twilight..." Pinkie sadly said.
"Hi Pinkie." She smiled, trying to get Pinkie to do so. All she got was a frown.
"Pinkie darling, don't be so sad. It's Rainbow being Rainbow." Rarity held up one of Pinkie's outfits, it was one of her old ones so it was all puffy and neon, "And these outfits of yours are to die for!"
"Listen here, Pinks. We all love ya as a friend, and Dash was probably upset from somethin' happenin'." AJ held Pinkie's hands, trying to her mane to poof up like it usually is.
Fluttershy just stayed there, petting Pinkie's mane as if Pinkie was an inured animal. She occasionally whispered that it'll be alright.
"B-but... Applejack... I kissed her roommate..." Pinkie looked at you, blushing a shade of pink. Not red, pink. That caused Rarity to gasp.
"Even though he did take Braeburn's attention off me, everyone saw him make a move on Dash." Rarity hung up the outfit and looked back and forth between Pinkie and you.
"Why would ya be worried 'bout Braeburn payin' attention to ya?" Applejack turned towards Rarity.
"Because he is a gentleman that deserves a lady like mwah." Rarity flipped her ponytail to her other shoulder.
"Ah can't believe ya Rarity." AJ sighed, "Anyways, Pinks... Ya shouldn't be sad from Dash yellin' at ya because ya kissed her roommate."
"But she isn't my friend anymore." Pinkie said, as she looked at the door.
There were some footsteps, and Dash appeared at the door. Her eyes were red, and she wiped them a couple of times.
"Pinkie." She said. Everyone just stared at her.
"Y-yes Dashie?" This made Dash sigh at the nickname, but continued.
"Sorry. I just felt neglected." Dash looked back and forth, "I mean ignored."
"They mean the same thing, Rainbow." Twilight protested.
"But neglected sounds too smart." Dash helped Pinkie up and hugged her, making Pinkie smile a bit, "Fri-"
"YES!" Pinkie shouted before Dash could finish, her hair poofing up, her dress' bottom doing the same. The balloons mended themselves back together, and Pinkie's gray eyes turned back to a beautiful blue.
"Let me get this straight..." You said, confused, "When Pinkie's sad, her hair deflates and everything about her gets all sad and mopey?"
"Eeyup." AJ said.
"Yeppers!" Pinkie squeezed Dash tightly.
"Indeed." Rarity cut off Fluttershy, who was saying 'I think so'.
"I'll keep that in mind..." Note: Don't make Pinkie sad.
Preparation Day
You were glad that Pinkie and Dash were friends again, even if you constantly had to pry Pinkie from suffocating Dash in hugs. All was well, and Dash didn't listen to your conversation from the other room. You told her that at the party you felt as if it was romantic, so kissed her for no reason... Lies are what separated Dash and Pinkie. Wait, Dash wasn't listening... Right?
"Hey dude. Hey, hey dude." Dash poked your back.
"What?" You poked her back, but in the stomach. Her laugh made you smile, because it was so adorable.
"So what were you talking about when you got Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and even Twilight into Pinkie's room?" She poked you back, challenging you.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Since when did I start lying so much?
"Tell me..!" Dash pouted.
"Nope."
"Right, cause you weren't talking. You were probably making out with Rarity or something." She looked up at you with her pout, making you die a little.
"No! Nothing like that, Dash. I wish I could tell you. Actually, only Pinkie and I were in the room when I said the thing I can't tell you."
"Dammit. That leaves the honest AJ out from my planning." She stuck out her tongue, your life regaining.
"I'm hungry." You picked up your phone, looking in your contacts. The jingle was stuck in your head, but you clicked on the contact instead. Pizza Nova has best pizza.
"Who ya calling?" Dash stood the perfect height to start resting her chin on your shoulder.
"Pizza Nova."
"Good. Pizza Nova has best pizza." You snuck your hand behind Dash and poked her back, making her yelp.
"Surprise poke!" You yelled, accidentally pushing the call button.
"I am so gonna get you." She looked at your phone and expertly hid her smirk, "Faster!"
"Wait wha-" She covered her hand over your mouth, making your words sound like grunts.
"Oh my Celestia, keep going!"
"What the hell, Dash?" You mumbled.
"Excuse me. I think you misdialed us here at Pizza Nova." A guy said, as your eyes widen and you slapped away Dash's arm, making her laugh hysterically.
"No, no, no, no. Just my roommate pranking me. I didn't realize I pressed call, but she did." You quickly explained.
"JOE. HURRY UP WITH THE ORDER!" A female shouted, "You know what? I'll take it."
"Hello you've reached Pizza Nova may I take your order?" She brightly said.
"One large cheese pizza, please." You were thinking through some names that fit the voice, but none matched. Haven't met her before.
"Will do. Will you pick it up?"
"YUP!" Dash shouted.
"Um... Okay then. Thank you for calling." She hung up quickly, leaving you to think about her as a rude person.
"Let's go!" Dash weaved her arm between yours as you put your phone in your pocket. She walked through the dorm door, closing and locking it. It was busy downstairs, as people were leaving to eat. Such as you and Dash. She smiled and as soon as she stepped of the last stair, and she loudly started singing, "I'm a model; if you know what I mean, and I do my little turn on the catwalk. Yeah, on the catwalk, yeah, I do my little turn on the catwalk." That's where I got this clutching arm thingy from...
"By Celestia that song is hilarious!" Someone says, slapping their knee as Dash comes to a halt with her singing.
"Seriously, Dash?" You let go of her arm and roll your eyes.
"First song that popped into my head." She reduced to a whisper, "I am too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt. So sexy it hurts."
"I want to slap you so badly." You actually had the urge to do so.
"You wouldn't dare touch my awesome face." She walked towards the Pizza Nova that was beside the place you and Fluttershy went to.
"I don't see awesome-face." You poked her shoulder. She then shifted her eyes to one side, opening her mouth wide. She created awesome-face, "Now I see it."
She opened the door and shut it in your face, her inside and you outside.
"Why didn't you just say," You looked up and placed the back of your hand to your forehead, "I hate you now get out of my face before I mess up yours?"
"Shut up." She said, opening the glass door and shutting it when you got inside.
"Are you the large cheese pizza order?" The girl behind the counter said.
"Yep." Dash smiled, taking a pizza that was on the counter.
"OH MY CELESTIA RAINBOW DASH!" A child's voice echoed through the shop, and then a ten year old girl with short, purple hair hugged Dash's leg.
You were about to call assault when Dash started, "Scoots?"
"YES, RAINBOW DASH?"
"Watcha doin' in Los Pegasus?" Dash tapped the girl's head with her right hand while holding the pizza box with the left.
"I FOLLO-" She coughed and quieted down, "My parents are on a business trip."
"Scootaloo..." Dash stared at the sheepishly smiling girl, "You have no parents."
"My adoption ones, duh!" She continued to smile widely.
"Scoots! Can we get back tah eatin'? Ah wanna see my sister, and Ah wanna see her soon!" That voice reminded you of Applejack, "Howdy Rainbow! Have ya seen Applejack lately?"
"I'm confused." You raise your hand, looking between the ten year old and the girl with a giant pink bow in her hair.
"This is Scootaloo," Dash said as Scootaloo waved, "This is Applebloom and..."
Applebloom waved also, but had that country effect to it. Her yellow eyes matched her t-shirt, but barely any t-shirt was showing. This was because of her overalls that had only one strap done up. She looked behind her at a more of a girly child, with her hair two colours that were light pink and purple. Her bangs and the bottom of her hair were curly, her soft green eyes matching the belt on her pink dress.
"Hi!" She said as she hopped off the bench, squeaking her 'hi'.
"There's Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo is my number one fan, Applebloom is Applejack's younger sister and Sweetie Belle is Rarity's younger sister." Dash said as they all smiled.
"We're here to see our favouritest college people!" They said in sync.
"Follow us and I can bring you to your sisters. And Scootaloo... You can just follow me." Dash held the pizza with two hands again, and all five of you walked out the door, to the college. Dash didn't sing, though.
As soon as all of you got up the stairs, you knocked on Rarity and Applejack's door. But Sweetie Belle just attacked the door, letting it swing wide open.
"Hi Rarity!" She squeaked on her 'hi' again.
"Oh my... Sweetie Belle. Mother and Father did not call me to tell me you were coming..." Rarity was combing her hair for probably the sixth time that day.
"If Sweetie Belle's here... Applebloom!" Applejack came to the door, and bent down to hug Applebloom. That little scene made you miss your sister back home... Do I even have a sister? Meh.
"Hey big sis! Ah'm so happy Granny let me travel here with Scoots and Sweetie to come see ya!" Applebloom let go of Applejack.
"Yeah, what she said, Rarity!" Sweetie Belle sure did squeak a lot on her vowels, and she jumped with joy as she attempted to hug Rarity. Rarity just made a face.
"Sweetie, I am not in the mood for a hug. I forgot to brush my hair ten times yesterday so must pay close attention to it today." Rarity pushed Sweetie away, making her sad.
"Well, since Rarity's busy, you guys wanna join us for pizza?" Dash held up the box, and the three girls, followed by Applejack, walked to your room.
After you were done eating, all that was left was one piece. Applejack and Dash both stared at it, then at each other. Like they read the thoughts of one another, they instantly went into an arm-wrestling match. After a few seconds, you took the piece and took a giant bite, eating half of it. Dash turned to you while still focusing, frowning. Applejack did the same and let her force go down.
"Ah was raised on a barn, but Ah learnt it can harm ya if ya eat somethin' that someone else took a bite of." On that note, Dash stole the piece from you and nommed away the rest.
"Wow Dash. Hungry much?" You poked her stomach.
"Shut up." She said after swallowing.
"Everyone back to their dorms, it's eight and we need to pack up for Prep Day at school tommorow." You said, watching as Applebloom got picked up by Applejack, Sweetie Belle walking with them back to room 2E, "Now, Scootaloo... What to do with you..."
"She can stay here." Dash interrupted, "She can sleep on the couch."
"Generous." You sarcastically said.
"I don't care. I'm in the same room as Rainbow Dash!" She clapped happily and whipped her orange backpack onto the couch. She pulled out some pajamas and ran to the bathroom, changing and quickly running out. Dash just changed into her classic shorts and t-shirt for her pajamas, while Scootaloo had one of those matching fleece things. You were a gentleman and went to the bathroom to change, keeping Scootaloo's innocence intact. You eventually came out, heading towards your bag.
You lifted up the bag, putting pencils and such into it. Dash did the same, but messily while you were organized.
"I'm going to bed, night Dash and..." You told Scootaloo your name and she closed her eyes, quickly dozing off on the couch.
After an hour or so, it was 10:00pm, you decided to try to fall asleep. You crawled in bed and Dash did so too, but was sitting up under the covers with a flashlight. You could see some shadows, but only of Dash herself. You kept watching the shadow until you heard the swipe of paper against fabric. Book paper against her blankets.
"Dash. Go to bed." You said, not mentioning the book. The book closed, you saw that, and she slid it under her pillow. Then shined the flashlight at you as she surfaced from the blanket cover.
"Okay..." You made sure she went to bed, turning off the flashlight and all.
You woke up to your alarm that you set, but neither Dash or Scootaloo woke up to it. You took a few articles of clothing into the bathroom, then had a shower. You stayed in the bathroom while drying off and changing just in case Scootaloo was to wake up when you were naked. You exited the bathroom, and Dash was stretching. She pushed you aside and walked into the bathroom, turning on the water and hopping into the stream of water. You looked over at Scootaloo, who was still sound asleep. The clock read 8:10am, which gave you an extra twenty minutes to eat breakfast. While waiting for Dash, you didn't do anything. When Dash finally came out in a blue sweatshirt with some black leggings, and her normal running shoes. Her hair was down like usual, and she looked beautiful like usual. You quickly wrote a note to Scootaloo saying that you went out for breakfast, and that we'll get her something to eat too.
"Where to?" Dash adjusted her bracelet to be over her sweatshirt sleeve.
"That one waffle shop thingy." You said, laughing at the fact that you forgot the name.
"I have no clue what your talking about, so Starbucks or Tim Hortons?" Dash pointed to the two coffee shops that were right beside each other. Stupid place to put them. Right beside each other.
"Tim Horton's because it's cheaper, closer and..." You pointed to Dash.
"Always fresh, always Tim Hortons." She sang, beautifully. Beautiful looks, beautiful voice. Why you so attractive, Dash?!
You walked into the shop, ordering for Dash and you. She wanted coffee and you wanted coffee, so you got two of the same type of coffees. You also had a blueberry bagel, while she had a chocolate chip bagel. You finished eating quickly, waiting for Dash... She was extremely slow at eating bagels... But fast at eating pizza.
"How long will you take to eat that bagel?"
"I will savor it until the end of time!" She said, pointing to the roof.
"Hurry up and eat it already." You deadpanned.
"Fine." Dash stuffed the rest of the bagel in her mouth, and picked up her coffee. She muffled through the bagel, "Happy?"
"Very." You wrapped your arm around Dash's right arm, her left holding the hot drink.
"TO THE DORM!" She shouted, bits of bagel falling out of her mouth.
When you got to the door to the building, you didn't open it. You awaited Dash's response.
She politely opened the door, "Ladies first."
"Screw you." You happily said as you walked through the door.
"No. You have to use a compliment sammich." I know what that is. I hate them. Just get to the middle of it.
"You are a great singer! But screw you. Seriously, keep up the singing!" You said with a grumble between the sentences.
"Thank you." She had swallowed her bagel and wasn't spitting pieces out at every syllable anymore.
You unlocked the dorm, walking in to Scootaloo reading the note, "Don't mind that, Scootaloo. We're back."
"Okay! Did you get me something to eat?" She smiled at Dash, not looking at you.
"Yeah. I have a bagel for you." Bagels, bagels everywhere!
Scootaloo ran over to you and grabbed the bag, taking out the bagel and cutely nibbling on a small part of it. You resisted the cuteness that was about to start pouring out of your eyes and ears. You looked at the clock, and you quickly grabbed your bag.
"Hurry up Dash, five minutes 'till the bell thingy."
"Actually five minutes fifty seconds. Fourty-nine... But who's counting anyways?" She swung her bag over her shoulder, and went to open the door.
"TALENT CRUSADERS LIBRARIANS YAY!" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle shouted, making Scootaloo smile.
"YAY!" Scootaloo ran to them and they zoomed towards the library door.
You and Dash walked down the stairs and through the tunnel that led to the main building. The main building then had another tunnel on the other side which led to the classrooms and such. Many students were already in the classroom that they were told to originally go to. Yours was Ms. Cheerilee's classroom.
"Who's room are you going to?" You asked Dash.
"Ms..." She cocked her head, "How do you pronounce it... Cheer..."
"Ms. Cheerilee! We get the same schedule!" Giddiness overwhelmed you, making your smile look insane.
"Good for us." She said, looking at the names of the classrooms. The teacher would stay in the same classroom, therefore the room would be named after them. Cheerilee would be your class' name.
You saw the name and pushed open the door, letting Dash and a few other people through. Of course, you sat in the desk beside Dash. There was no teacher yet, so you thought Ms. Cheerilee would come at the bell. You were wrong. After the bell rang, a tall female with long, flowing hair came in. Her hair was coloured with pastel colours, making her magenta eyes stand out. She was wearing a long, very light pink dress with wide sleeves. On her belt was a golden sun, and you knew exactly who it was.
"Hello students, I am Principal Celestia if you didn't know. Ms. Cheerilee called in sick today, so I will hand out your schedules and let you settle in for Preparation Day." Her voice was one of a tender mother, soothing and caring. She handed out the sheets of paper, as they were all the same so it was easy. Every class had a different schedule, to keep the classrooms perfectly full.
"Thank you." You said to Principal Celestia as she handed you a paper. She smiled slightly.
"You're welcome." She said back, handing Dash a sheet.
"Someone's kind, aren't they?" Dash said, reading her schedule and smiling, "We actually have two free periods?! Two?!"
"Yeah, but one of them is specifically for work or reading." You thought Dash wouldn't like that, but then remembered her nighttime book thing.
"Yes!" She said, but then stopped as someone looked at her, "I mean, reading? Crap."
You laughed, "Well I like reading, so that'll come in handy."
"Can everyone please say hello to Bonbon? She is a student helper here, and will be helping you settle into the class." Principal Celestia said, Bonbon smiling and waving.
"Why does she get to be student helper?" Derpy sadly said.
"Hands please, and because she applied and got accepted." Principal Celestia held her smile that you caused her to have, "Put up your hands for any questions, and Bonbon will answer. If she cannot answer, she will then ask me."
"Yes ma'am." Bonbon held a clipboard to her chest, hugging it. A pen was also behind her ear, "Should I take attendance?"
"Yes please, Bonbon." Principal Celestia said while writing something on the whiteboard.
Bonbon went through the the names silently, checking to see if the person she was checking off was there. Her pen checked off twenty-four out of twenty-five.
"Spitfire's missing." She said to Principal Celestia, frowning.
"She is organizing the track and field, mark her present." Principal Celestia said, removing the marker from the whiteboard. It read 'Full name, favourite colour, favourite food and favourite thing to do'.
Principal Celestia put the cap on the green marker and set it aside, "I would like to get to know everyone better. We will start in the front row, to the left."
There were five rows of five, so there were no extra desks. Every desk was taken except for one, Spitfire's. You weren't listening to the first two people, but shook back to focus when a bookworm started talking.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle and my favourite colour is purple. I would think my favourite food is a fruit salad since I eat them a lot and enjoy them. In my spare time I read, and I find it fun to learn new things... So my favourite thing to do is read." Twilight said while placing a pile of books in the corner of her desk.
The next person made you smile, "My name is Derpy Hands and my favourite colour is a golden-brown because it reminds me of my favourite food, muffins. My favourite thing to do is gymnastics."
The next two people were unimportant to you, and the whole second row. The third row, first person was a fellow of yours.
"Howdy! Ah'm Braeburn and Ah would say my favourite colour is like a orangey fire. My favourite food is nothin' but apple pie, and Ah guess that my favourite thing to do is hang out with my fam'ly." He said, and next was you.
"Hi I'm-" You said your name over a loud balloon that popped from a other classroom, "My favourite colour is-"
Another balloon popped, strangely enough.
"I have two favourite things to do, and they are-" A long line of balloons popped, followed by one of those party noise makers, "Oh and my favourite food is-"
You looked over to Dash, who started instantly, interrupting you.
"I'm Rainbow Dash, the one and only!" She lengthened her 'the' for dramatic effect, "Do I have to pick just one colour? Because I love all colours. My favourite food is probably pizza, and my favourite thing to do is play Xbox when I'm able to or play sports when I'm able to."
Everyone else after Dash you tuned out, almost falling asleep until a final balloon jolted you back awake. There was one person left, since a female with curly orange hair just finished. The last person was sitting at the desk in the back right corner, where it was darkest.
"I-I'm um... I'm um..." She whimpered, and hid behind her light pink hair, "I'm Fl-Flutter... Fluttershy and... My favourite colour is... Yellow."
She paused to look around, and she gulped because people were staring and listening to her, "My favourite food is..."
Fluttershy put her hands together, her right hand overlapping her left knuckles. She held her hand to her mouth and whimpered again, "Anything vegetarian... And I-I..."
"I love taking care of animals of all types. All creatures are cutesy-wutesy to me no matter what and I dislike seeing them hurt." She smiled and put her hands on her desk on those sentences, but frowned and put her hands in the formation again, "I mean... If that's alright for me to say..."
"Great! Now let me do my own one." Principal Celestia still had that small smile you gave her plastered on her face, "My name is Celestia, and my favourite colour is a light, almost white, pink. I would have to agree with Derpy on the favourite food category, muffins are delicious. My favourite thing to do is simple; embrace the many possibilities of knowledge."
Derpy clapped at Principal Celestia's favourite food, and Twilight nodded with a smile at her favourite thing to do, "Hello everyone, I'm Bonbon. My favourite colour is the same shade of pink that is in my hair, and my favourite food is... Well... Bonbons! I love to bake and create."
"Now that everyone is done sharing, I have news to inform you of. Today isn't an offical school day, it is Preparation Day. The period bell will ring, but then the ending of classes bell. Go straight to your dorms or wherever you plan on going, as classes will be over for today extra early." Principal Celestia wrote in an easy pattern on the board with black and orange, "Also, tommorow is Nightmare Night. Normal school day, party in the gym starting at 8:00pm. Wear your costumes, too."
The board read, 'Happy Nightmare Night!' In medium sized print on the top right corner of the whiteboard. In the middle of the board was a math question in green marker. Really simple, though. Just multiplication. Oh lookie a math problem that is extremely easy.
"This math question is easy, but if the bell rings and no one answers correctly, you aren't leaving." Principal Celestia said, looking at the question.
The question was '501,245 x 897', pretty simple for college students. But it really surprised you that the person who raised their hand actually knew the answer.
"Yes, Rainbow? Please come write it out on the board."
She walked up and wrote it out neatly, the whole number of 449,616,765.
"Four hundred fourty-nine million six hundred sixteen thousand seven hundred sixty-five." Dash looked at the students, "Uh... Guessing."
"You're correct, Rainbow." Principal Celestia erased the question as Bonbon checked something off. The period bell rang as Principal Celestia said bye to everyone, and the dismissal bell rang as she was reminding everyone about Nightmare Night. You make sure to remember that today was extra early dismissal, and that every other day will be longer.
You swung your bag over your shoulder and watch as Dash walks to her desk, doing the same. She starts to walk out, you following her.
"Hey Dash." You said, making it awkward.
"Hi." She just added onto the awkwardness.
"How'd you know instantly what the answer was? Even for Twilight it would've taken about ten seconds, not one." You questioned, making Dash dead silent.
"I-Uh... I didn't know it, remember? I guessed." She was obviously lying, but you ignored it. A book at night and answering a question as soon as it's asked to be answered... Hm...
After unlocking and opening the door for Dash, you walked into your dorm. It was peaceful, and it was only 10:00am. Of course, Dash being herself, she turned on her Xbox and started up Call Of Duty. She started talking to her 'friends'... The conversation went a bit like this.
"So, watcha guys being for Nightmare Night?" Blossomforth said in a focused voice.
"I'm being a turtle- WHAT THE HELL!" The male that wasn't a creep said, "I was reloading, should've covered me, Blossomforth!"
"I was also reloading." Blossomforth said, seriously.
The creepy dude started, "I'm being a vampire."
"So creative." Dash said, sarcastically.
"Okay then, Dash, what are you being?" The creep angrily said.
"I don't know... Probably Daring Do." She replied, a bunch of groans following that.
"Vampire overrules Daring Do any day." The creep said after the chorus of groaning.
"Nu-uh!" Dash had a kill streak going on, and was annoyed.
"Well I'm being a person from Call Of Duty-" Blossomforth said, interrupted by the creep.
"Yeah-uh!"
"Daring Do is, like, the second most awesome person ever." Dash killed another person, getting her team in the lead.
"Who's the first? A vampire?"
"Nope. Me." Bewm headshawt.
"Daring Do is a fictional character!"
"So? Vampires are too!" Dash yelled back.
"Celestia, you're annoying Dash."
"Dash, we're winning!" Blossomforth cheered, killing someone.
"Blossomforth, be right back, cover me." The male who's being a turtle for Nightmare Night said.
Dash was on Skype with these people, it was a group called 'The CoD Group', and had a bunch of people in it. Blossomforth, Turtle Dude and Dash were on the same team while the other girl who hasn't spoken yet and the creep were on the same team. They had more people on their teams, just those were the ones on Skype.
"Plus Dash, Daring Do is the worst. Book. Series. EVER!" The creep said, making Dash blow him up and let her team win the game.
"Guess what Dylan." Dash said.
"What?"
"My team just won." There was some raging from the creep, or Dylan's, microphone.
"Ha." Dash said, causing Blossomforth to burst into laughter.
"Okay back... Oh look we won." Turtle Dude said with a dopey voice.
"That's retarded." The other girl finally talked, "And it seems I was on mute the whole time!"
That was the conversation, all while you chilled out on your bed, listening to music. Dash ended the call and shut off Call Of Duty, "Up for some Halo?"
You turned off your music and smiled, "You're on."
After a furious battle, Dash won the game by sneaking up on you and waiting until you noticed her, then shooting instantly.
"It was a furious battle!" You dropped the controller, putting your arms out.
"Balls."
"It lasted for days! You should've seen it!" Wait, she was there... Whatever
"Baaaalls." This time Dash made her 'a' longer.
"There was lightning and crap." You gestured to the roof, then the floor as you tried to draw lightning in thin air.
"BAAAALLS." She loudly said, keeping her 'a' lengthened.
"Did we seriously just quote a series on YouTube?" You asked, with a look of emptiness on your face.
"Yup." Dash said, making you both burst into laughter.
By the time that Dash finished her CoD game, and she defeated you in Halo, it was 12:30am.
"You know what?" You put your hand to your stomach, "I'm hungry."
Dark Alleyways
After you and Dash went out to eat, you returned back to the dorms. Rarity was waiting at your door, though.
"There you are." Rarity looked at you, then Dash, "Rainbow, dear. Private conversation."
Dash then knocked on Fluttershy's door, and as it got opened she walked in. There was some simple chatting from the room, as Rarity crossed her arms.
"Yes Rarity?" You asked, smiling falsely.
"I am here to inform you that Braeburn asked me to the Nightmare Night dance. You will not be taking the attention away from me." She sneered, her hands clenching to fists.
"Okay." You unlocked your door and walked right in, Rarity biting her lip while walking away.
You decided you should take a nap, and you drifted to sleep very quickly. You woke to the bouncing of three little girls, shouting.
"TALENT CRUSADERS JUMPERS!" They all yelled, loud enough to hurt your eardrums.
"Girls. Calm down." You put your hands up, stopping Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle from hopping. You told them all to sit down, "So, how are your sisters?"
"Rarity still won't talk to me." Sweetie Belle huffed.
"Applejack's doin' dandy!" Applebloom said, and Scootaloo shrugged
"I don't have any siblings." She said.
"That's alright, I say we go outside somewhere. Relax for a bit." Hanging out with the three girls would be terrible, that's why you were planning on bringing Dash.
"To the park?" Sweetie Belle said, then they huddled and came up with an answer.
"TO THE PARK!" They all shouted.
Once you got to the park, Scootaloo started swinging around the bar, Applebloom mushing together sand and building out of blocks, and Sweetie Belle on the swings while singing. You just sat there because Dash declined going to the park, and you promised the girls. It was so boring, you actually fell asleep. You woke up to the girls yet again, but they were poking you with a long stick.
"Is he dead?" Scootaloo poked you again.
"Ah don't think so."
"I sure hope not..." Sweetie squeaked.
You sat up and yawned and looked at your watch, 2:00pm. You were there for around two hours, "I'm alive."
"Good because we wanna to back to the college now." Scootaloo tossed the stick over to a tree.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go." You walked along the path that led to a sidewalk, which eventually led to the college. Sweetie was still singing, and it was beautiful. Not as beautiful as Dash's, but close.
"Airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now. Wish right now. Wish right now..."
"What do you wish for, Sweetie?" You surprised her, making her jump.
"I wish that my sister would let me help her design clothes." She smiled, then continued singing.
"I would wish for a brand new scooter." Scootaloo made a face, imagining her current one and shivering.
"Ah like mah life the way it is." Applebloom smiled, "Ah don't believe in that wishy-wish stuff."
You start murmuring, not loud enough for the three girls to hear, "I would wish that I could know if Dash likes me..."
Sweetie Belle and Applebloom knocked on room 2E's door, waving bye to Scootaloo who was following you. You opened the door for her, and Dash was playing more CoD. She died multiple times and her team was losing by little.
"Oh come on!" She angrily groaned. She was muted on Skype.
"Hey Dash." You said, Scootaloo frantically waving.
"Yeah, hi." She responded, obviously focused. She quickly unmuted herself, talking yet again, "Blossomforth, there's a guy trailing us. Kill him before he notices we see him and kills us."
"Mkay." She responded.
"DASHIE! I SEE YOU!" A new voice slammed through Dash's computer, the character on the Xbox jumping around.
"Pinkie... Just shoot people and don't let them shoot you." Of course it's Pinkie.
"BUT I SEE YOU!" She screamed again, "HEY I'M DEAD."
"Yup you're dead." Dash killed someone, and Blossomforth killed the guy following them.
"Oopsie! I just shot someone. Is that bad?" Pinkie said, making Blossomforth sigh and facepalm.
"Nope, continue. We're tied now." Dash widely smiled.
"Dash! Heads up!" It was Dylan, "Wait, headshot!"
"FUUUUUU-" Dash started, because Dylan just killed her.
"We win! You lose, sucker!" Dylan shouted, continuously pressing mute on and off while cheering.
Dash hung up her Skype call and slammed her laptop shut, turning around and throwing the remote at you. All while giving a rage shout.
"Well then." You snottily said, "Right back at'cha."
Dash clasped her hands over her mouth, running over to you, "Oh my Celestia, are you okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"It didn't hit me-" You were pushed aside by Dash.
"My favourite controller!" She picked it up, it broken into pieces, "Well. I'll buy a new one. Oh, and are you alright?"
"I am so joyful that you are sincerely worried." You said, watching as Scootaloo went to grasp Dash's leg. Again.
"Scootaloo... When are you leaving?" Dash said, annoyed by the child glued to her leggings.
"Tomorrow at dinner." Scootaloo looked up at Dash.
"You wanna learn to game, kid?" Dash smiled at her.
"YES!" She let go and ran to the couch, somersaulting over one end to the next.
"And you. You're playing too." Dash poked you, hard. Ow.
After teaching Scootaloo how to play CoD and Halo, you played against her because she refused to go against Dash. You won the first game, even though you were going easy on Scoots. You barely tried on the second game, so she won. Since she was getting into the flow of things, you bumped up to actually trying. Surprisingly, she won, getting a high five from Dash. You and her played on a multiplayer game with other people, and Dash was Skyping her 'friends' because you were playing CoD.
"Dash, so wait. You aren't playing? Scootaloo's playing?" Blossomforth said, confused.
"Yup." Dash answered.
A few hours went by of you and Scoots playing games, Dash yelling at you for failing and Dash falling asleep multiple times. When Scoots yawned, you knew it was late enough to stop playing. She got her clothes like the night when she arrived, and changed in the bathroom. Dash quickly changed when Scoots was changing. When Scootaloo came out, you hopped in with your pajamas in your hands, and your pajamas on when you exited. It technically was only 9:00pm, but it takes you about one hour and thirty minutes to fall asleep... 10:30pm is reasonable.
You slipped into bed and fluffed your pillow, relaxing. Dash did the same, except slid under her covers. There was that flashlight again, and she did the same thing as before. Reading a book.
"Dash." You whispered, and she stuffed the book under her pillow and popped up.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?" You replied.
"I'm... Trying to fall asleep. Duh." She slid half her face under her covers, attempting to hide her blush.
"Dash." You said with an annoyed tone, then got out of bed.
"What?"
You attempted to pick up her pillow, but she pushed down on it, "Let me see."
"No." She responded, now sitting on her pillow with her legs crossed.
"Alright then." You slid your hands under Dash and used all your strength to push her forwards, and it worked. She fell forwards, but stopped herself from hitting the bed using her arms. At that moment, you were looking under the pillow.
Dash turned around and went to slam down the pillow, but you had already pulled out a book titled 'Daring Do and The Pheonix Phantom', "I never knew you read."
"I-I don't!" She blushed, almost glowing.
"You answered a math question almost instantly, and you read." You tapped your chin, "You aren't such the jock you look like."
"Stop it!" She dived for the book, hugging it and then staring at you, "If you tell anyone, I will kill you."
"Don't worry, I won't." You genuinely say.
"Anyways. I only like this series." Dash said, stuffing her favourite book under her pillow. She placed her head down, "Goodnight, sweet dreams."
"G'night. Sweet dreams." You dropped to barely a audible voice, "Love you."
After a long night of you dreaming about Dash, you finally started to dream about something else. Candy. Mints, to be exact. But right then, your alarm went off. You sat up, not opening your eyes, and yawned.
"Mornin' Dash." Stretching, you turned your head to Dash's bed and opened your eyes. She wasn't there. There was a piece of paper, though.
You scrambled out of your bed, and plucked the note off Dash's bed. As you read it, your eyes widened over time. By the end, you gasped.
You like your roommate very much, yes?
Well, where is she now? Guess.
Dark and gloomy, long and narrow.
Now come find her before I find her bone marrow.
Dash..!
You scrambled your stuff together, took a quick shower, got dress and headed out the door to Ms. Cheerilee's Classroom. Yes, you didn't eat breakfast, but this was important. You burst through the door and saw a middle-aged female with very light pink hair.
"Dash... Gone... Bone marrow... Narrow..." You gasped, as you were running the whole time.
"Please sit down." She pointed to your desk, her fingernails painted to match her hair.
You saw another note on your desk, and ran over to it, Dash's life depending on it. Again, you read it over, making sure to get every last detail.
So you moved on, to your classrooms
Just be careful, because when midnight looms,
Skin will slice,
In somewhere in which there is many mice.
I have to skip class!
"Ms. Cheerilee!" You walked over to her, as most students were still piling in.
"Yes?" She turned around, facing you. She reached just your height, and smiled.
"My friend Rainbow Dash is in trouble. See?!" You showed her the note and she gasped.
"Well, it's important to go to school... But life is more important. Sadly, I cannot dismiss anyone to help you. So, you're on your own." She dropped her smile for a few seconds, "Good luck."
You grabbed your bag and walked out the door calmly, waiting a bit until you start running. The clues are mostly saying that Dash is in trouble, and she's in somewhere dark and rat-infested. As you exited the building, you saw another note on a pillar. Instinctively, you read it.
Going for the gold?
Better hurry up, time's getting old.
The streets of Maneroad have many alleys,
and no beautiful valleys.
I am in one of these choices and so is your friend,
By the way do you have any knifes you can lend?
Silly me, not being prepared.
Are you scared?
Very scared... I'm guessing it's in an alleyway. Alleyways... Alleyways...
Maneroad was the road across from Los Pegasus College, and it had three alleyways. You weren't gonna check all three, what if some creep was in one that Dash wasn't in? You got onto Maneroad and looked at the first stop-sign. To your luck, a note sat upon two-sided tape.
Maneroad is beautiful, isn't it?
Too bad the middle isn't lit.
Between one and three,
Can you find me?
Middle isn't lit... Yet, that's true. The shop in the middle of the street is never lit up. The number between one and three is two... Second alleyway? Maybe...
You walked across the street, and looked at your watch. It was took a while to find the clues, about two hours. It was lunchtime, and your stomach was growling, but you continued. The alley was very dark, and you could hear the scraping of metal against brick.
"Oh hello there, Dash's college friend. I don't need that lend. I found some knifes in this can, you might wanna relax and become a fan." A girl emerged from darkness, sharpening a knife. She pulled a string and a faded light bulb flickered on, lighting the alley up barely. Dash was in a chair with ropes wrapped around her waist and arms, her wrists tied together. In her mouth was a rope, twisted around the back of her head and tied. Her eyes were open and looking down, and shot upwards when she heard the girl rhyme towards you. You could see her eyes lighting up at the sight of you, which made you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
"I'll just take Dash and be on my way-" You saw Dash's eyes go wide and shaking of her head commenced, then the girls knife cut into Dash's pajama sleeve, giving Dash barely a cut. It still bled, though.
"Hey, no need for that!" You went to take the knife from her, as she repeated what she did before.
"Ah ah ah, do not get any closer. Unless you want to lose her." She applied a bit a pressure this time, cutting deeper. Dash didn't even wince. You saw a loose rope in range of your hand, and took one step. This caused the female to hold her knife to Dash's arm, giving a paper-cut worthy cut.
You stepped on the tip of the rope, and pulled from the top. Dash's hand and arm binds released, and she punched the girl across the face with her right hand, untying her legs with her other hand. The girl stumbled backwards and dropped her knife, desperately looking around for it. By the time she found the weapon, Dash had everything untied. The girl reached down to grab the knife, and Dash put her knee under the girls' nose, and her hand on the back of the almost bald head of her 'enemy'. She pushed with her hand and pushed up with her knee just as she had the right position, breaking the stranger's nose. As the killer grasped her nose, she swung her knife towards Dash. Dash bent backwards, and went down into a bridge. Another slice, Dash lifted up into a handstand. A final slice for this scene, Dash flipped back onto her feet. She twirled around and went behind the killer, Dash's arm around her neck while holding the hand with the knife in it close to the killer's neck.
"Ohai. I don't think we've formally met." Dash said, pulling her right knee up to hit the girl in the crotch. Dash's arm had little droplets of blood, but it didn't hurt her, so it was alright.
Dash stole the knife and threw it against the brick wall with a force that bent and unsharpened the blade. The killer was still being held, and then was dropped to the ground.
"Let's go." Dash said, walking back to the college.
Clubs And Costumes
Since that little alleyway incident, you kept away from annoying Dash. She seemed to know more about fighting than you thought she did. A lot more. Yes, she did catch your fist on the day you met her, but almost anyone can do that if they have good reflexes. Dash's shoulder occasionally started bleeding on the slightest touch, through the bandage you wrapped around her medium-deep cuts. The problem was that she couldn't do sports, her life-long activities that took her mind off her family. This made her thoughts drift to her parents, her sister. So you constantly had to comfort her, which you didn't care. Comforting her meant hugging her.
"Dash, do you have a costume for the Nightmare Night party?" You said while hugging Dash tightly.
"Yes, but I don't wanna wear it. It's too embarrassing."
"How's that?" You loosened your arms, and combed through Dash's soft, multi-coloured hair.
"Daring Do... I might not go at all." She dropped her gaze to the floor.
"You have to go! It won't be any fun without you!"
"Yes it will..." She looked up at you, her magenta eyes piercing into your plain eyes.
"No. I am dragging you there no matter what." Your face looked serious, but you were filled of million and millions of d'awww.
"Okay..."
"Plan out your costume, the party starts at 8:00pm and it's 2:00pm. Don't wanna be late." You pointed to the closet after you let go of Dash.
"Fine." She walked over to the closet, opening it slightly and picking out a adventurer-like costume with the hat and all, "Do I have to?"
"Of course you do." I don't have a costume... I'm a hypocrite.
"Where's your costume?" She said, placing her outfit on her bed and flattening it out.
"I don't have one."
"So I have to wear my costume, yet you don't have one?! Go to Rarity and get one." She huffed with crossed arms and a pout.
You did so, and Rarity was upset at your late timing. Of course, being Rarity and all, her costume was a princess. You grunted as she took your measurements and wrote them down, and Rarity was grunting all the same.
"You are going to be a prince and you will like it." She said, picking up some white fabric. She started sewing, and looked towards you, "Leave, it will be done in an hour or so."
"Fine," You turned around to exit, "Ms. Angrybutt."
"Ignorant!" She shouted back.
Dash was laying on the couch reading her book, coming to a quick end. There was about ten pages left, and she was smiling with her back legs swinging up and down constantly.
"Rarity's making me a costume. Once she gives it to me, I'm gonna smother fake blood onto it and rip the edges. It'll be awesome."
"Cool. One second." She waved you off and finished off the chapter, "Okay. I'm done reading for today."
"So, what do ya wanna do?" You smiled, walking over to your bed.
"Oh I think I know." She tucked her book under the couch pillow and went to tackle you, "Let's wrestle!"
"But Dash... Your shoulder." You had your hands on Dash's ribcage, holding her up and preventing her from landing on you.
"Right..." She frowned, looking down at you, "CoD?"
"CoD." You rolled away, letting Dash fall onto the bed. But, she stopped herself with her arms and stood up, running to the Xbox and turning it on.
She also turned on her computer, logging into Skype and calling the group. Only Blossomforth and Pinkie were online, so it was them that were playing. Blossomforth and Dash were on the same team, you and Pinkie were on the same team. Dylan was playing, but wasn't on Skype. He was on Dash's team, and some random person was on yours. There was a few more people, and the game begun. Of course, Pinkie was first to die since she had no clue what to do.
"I DIED." Pinkie shouted, almost happily.
"Well we're losing." You said, killing Dylan, then Dash killing you.
"Yes, you are!" Dash smiled and cheered.
"You're dead, Dash." You said.
"Not I'm not-" She said after killing some dude, "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUU-"
"Ha." Blossomforth falsely laughed as her team points went up.
A few games went by, Dash's team winning three out of six, and your team winning three out of six. By that time, your stomach was growling like an angry tiger. It was only 4:00pm but you didn't eat at all that day.
"Bye guys, I'm gonna go eat." Dash said, turning off her Xbox and logging off of Skype. Read my mind.
"Where to?" You put away the controller.
"Mandarin, I guess. I would like that." She picked up her jacket and slid it on, then walked over to the door, "Come on, I'm starving."
"Coming!" You walked out the door, but then remembered Rarity and your costume, "Wait, one second."
You knocked on Rarity's door, and Applejack opened it, "Howdy there! Ya lookin' fer ya costume?"
"Yes." You responded, and looked at Applejack's costume. She was wearing it to test the size, it fit her perfectly, and it was of a scarecrow. The patched overalls are something Rarity would disapprove of.
"Okay, Ah'll go get it fer ya!" She walked to Rarity's sewing machine, and picked the costume out of the basket. She returned and handed it to you, "Ah'm guessin' ya gonna screw it up later?"
"Indeed." You responded, making you both laugh. Dash coughed on purpose, "Would you like to come to dinner with Dash and I?"
"Sure! Ah'll just go change." Applejack shut the door and pulled picked up her clothes, and Dash knocked on the door, "Ah said Ah was changing'!"
"So what? We're the same gender, let me in!" Dash pushed open the door and stepped inside, getting pushed back out by Applejack.
"No. Not again, Dash." Applejack poked her head through the open part of the door, frowning at the sad Dash.
"But-" Dash pouted.
"Not. Again." Applejack said as she closed the fully.
"What does she mean not again?" You asked Dash, making her blush.
"She means nothing." She said, knocking on the door. Applejack came out in jeans and a white t-shirt. Her belt had an apple on it, matching her orange jacket's apple as it's buttons.
"Let's go." Applejack smiled, and you guys set off onto Maneroad. Bad memories...
"AJ, see that alleyway right there?" Dash pointed to the aisle where she was put when captured.
"Yeah, what about it?" AJ responded, looking into the long strip of darkness.
"I almost got murdered in there."
"WHAT?!" Applejack turned to Dash, hugging her, "Are ya alright? Anythin' hurt?!"
"Yes, just my shoulder bleeds at the slightest touch... And I'm bleeding." Dash pushed the guilty Applejack away, and pulled off her soaked bandage from under her sleeve.
"Oh my Celestia, Dash! Y'all injured!" Applejack gasped, covering her mouth.
"It doesn't hurt, AJ. I don't care..."
"Alright then, RD..."
You reached Mandarin, and waited for a table. Once you sat down, you smiled at the two girls. Dash's shoulder stopped bleeding, and AJ was constantly looking at Dash for some reason. You got up and walked to the buffet, picking up a plate and getting the food you wanted. Dash did the same, so did AJ. When you finished collecting all the food you wanted, or at least the food you could eat, you went to sit down. AJ did to, her plate filled with all kinds of stuff squished together. Dash took a little longer than you and AJ did, tasting the food before putting a giant wad of it on her plate. She eventually sat down, with most of her plate full.
"To Nightmare Night!" You raised your water glass, AJ doing the exact same thing. You clashed glasses. Dash didn't do it, because she poured her water out when she went to the bathroom, in fact, she only went to the bathroom to do that. She pulled a coke out of her pocket, you have no clue how because she looked like she had nothing in her pocket, and poured it into her glass.
"To Nightmare Night!" You repeated again, this time with Dash, "Dig in!"
And you all did so, Applejack wiping her mouth with her sleeve every once in a while. Dash didn't wipe her mouth at all. Dash finished first, since she had less on her plate. She finished up her coke and waited patiently. Then she got impatient.
"Hurry up guys." She tapped her foot as you held in a burp. Applejack didn't hold in her burp, and laughed after she let it out, "Worth waiting for."
"Ah think we can stop by a bar after this, right?" Applejack smiled, ignoring her previous burp.
"Yes, we can!" Dash smiled wider than AJ, and turned to you, "Watcha think?"
"Let's wait to get drunk at the party-" You started.
"NEIN." Dash slammed her fist onto the table, "A few drinks and..."
Dash looked over at AJ, and winked, "Some dancing."
"Not again, Dash. Ah said that at the dorms." What are they talking about?!
"Oh come on!" Dash crossed her arms and put on an angry face, "Whatever. We can still drink and dance... Maybe at the place Vinyl DJ's at!" Vinyl... Oh crap I wonder what she did to Octavia in their dorm. I wonder if Octavia's still alive.
"Fine." You were highly against it since Dash could wait until the party to get drunk, but nope. She has to go now.
"Ah'm done." AJ said, and you stood up.
"If the ladies are done, I'm done." You paid and left with the girls, to the bar/club/rapehouse that Dash wanted to go to.
You opened the door like you usually do for females, and let them walk in. Dash went straight to the bar to get drunk, and her mouth dropped when she saw people drinking in-season cider. The cider she drank before was out of season, and tasted normal. But this cider was as fresh as the apples on AJ's farm. You and AJ slowly walked over to the bar and sat down, you on the right side of AJ and Dash on the left of AJ. The bartender came around to ask for drinks.
"What would you like to-" He was interrupted by Dash.
"In-season cider, please!" Her tongue flopped out of her mouth, longing for the taste of the cider.
"Someone likes cider." You said, sticking your tongue out at Dash.
"It's squeezed from the freshest Sweet Apple Acres apples, can ya blame 'er?" Applejack smiled proudly, "My farm's apples sell the best in-season cider, even out of season cider!"
"You didn't hit me the right way to be known as a bragger, AJ." You smirked, and ordered a cider just to taste it, since Dash loves it so much.
"What's not to brag about cider?" She ordered a mug of cider, too.
"Two ciders for two lovely ladies, one cider for one gentleman." The bartender said, then retreated to the kitchen.
"Ooh. Lovely ladies." You laughed.
The bartender appeared again, with your drinks. He gave you all the cider and left, without even staying to chat. It was rather rude, but you didn't care since you only felt like talking to AJ and Dash. One of the girls squealed, it was Dash. She picked up her cider and chugged down half of it, and when her mouth relaxed away from the mug, she sighed.
"Best cider... EVER!" Dash rolled her eyes back, slouching into her chair.
"I don't know what the big deal is..." AJ and Dash gasped at you, shaking their heads.
"Just try it." AJ sipped hers and sighed in delight. You brought the mug to your mouth and carefully sipped, after that you took a bigger sip.
"Correct you are, girls! Best cider ever! I haven't tasted cider before but whatever." You sipped again, Dash drinking another quarter of the drink, "Slow down, Dash."
"No."
"Okay then."
Dash quickly finished up her drink and ordered another, Applejack and you not even finished your first. By the time Applejack and you finished, Dash was on her third. Third.
"Wow."
"She loves her cider, she's like this every October when the finest apples come out of Sweet Apple Acres and are put into this alcoholic drink." Applejack took another sip, "Ah love this cider, also."
"I second that. This cider is perfect." You turned around to face Vinyl Scratch at her turntable, who was indeed DJing. She was bobbing her head like usual, smiling with her eyes hidden behind those big sunglasses. Many people were dancing, few of them obviously drunk or smashed. You did not expect the person who was dancing to be there... Dancing. While drunk. Rarity.
"RARITY?!" You shouted. Applejack turned to look where you were looking, and did a spit take.
"What the hell?!" Applejack and you walked as calmly as possible over to Rarity, who was swinging her hips around slightly, dancing with her hands above her head, "Rarity!?"
Rarity stopped dancing instantly as she recognized the accent, and slowly turned around. Her dark blue eyes widened, and she smiled awkwardly, "Hello Applejack. What are you doing at a club?"
"Ah'm here to enjoy myself, and Ah suppose ya are too." AJ deadpanned, then broke into an awkward smile.
"Indeed I am... But I was just about to leave." Rarity was wearing a tight, black shirt that stopped an inch above her bellybutton, and a short skirt was white and covered in sparkles. Her high heels were black, and tall. Her face was red, too. She waved bye to a particular male and ran out the door with sophistication.
"Ah have somethin' on her now." AJ smirked, and chuckled. You and her returned to your seats, your eyes popping out at the fact that Dash was on her fifth mug.
AJ and you finished off your second, and you both ordered another glass, you restricting Dash from anymore drinks, "No, Dash."
"Aww." She crossed her arms as AJ finished her third, and final, mug. You only finished half, because you sipped some more and spit it back into the mug, because Dash pushed AJ onto the dance floor and they lightly danced, not at all like Rarity. You just watched Dash, smiling.
When Dash and AJ stopped dancing, it was 7:45pm. You checked your watch and got the girls, pushing them out the door.
"It's that late as to leave the club?" Dash asked, she wasn't drunk. She did sway a bit, but the cider wasn't enough. Applejack wasn't drunk either.
"Yes, 15 minutes until the party!" You walked a bit faster than normal to the college, but you got there faster so it worked.
You guys entered the college and went to your dorms, Scootaloo somehow got in the locked room, so you went to the bathroom to change. You took some fake blood that you had sitting around for some reason and rubbed it into the white, ripping it up and applying the fake blood to your face. You exited in your dead prince outfit, smiling. Scootaloo was saying her farewells to Dash, and left when Dash entered the bathroom to change into her own Daring Do costume. Dash took a shower, mostly because she couldn't take one in the morning. Because she was kidnapped. After the water turned off, she dried herself and got in her costume. When she came out, she was dressed in a puke-green vest, with a darker green around the cuffs and the collar. Her shorts were short-shorts, that were the same colour as her vest, with the folded bottom of the shorts being the dark green. The hat she was wearing was a cream, with a few green streaks. You could only muster one word, and you only dared to say so in your head. Hot.
"You like? Daring has gray hair, but I'm not dying my hair." She smiled, making you say the word again in your mind.
"Mhm." You smiled back, "Off to the party!"
You and Dash walked down the stairs, and so did Pinkie. She was wearing a pink morph suit, with the face cut out. Around her was a latex balloon, a giant one that started at her waist and went above her head. She had a string stitched onto the back of the morph suit, to look like... A string.
"What are you, Pinkie?" Dash asked, but she knew what Pinkie was.
"A balloon!" Pinkie gasped, "In my balloon, there's an echo! It's so... Echo-y!"
Spotlights Are Meant To Shine
Pinkie was giggling like a maniac, and then giggling at her giggle's echo. After a minute of this, you looked at the time and continued down the stairs. Dash beside you, and the faint sound of music coming from the room where the party's in. The indoor park, actually. Vinyl was at her turntable, and Octavia was sitting beside her, just sitting there. Rarity and Braeburn were beside the alcoholic drink table, chatting away. Heh, the princess with the butler. Makes complete sense.
"Dashie! You have to sing again tonight, I have no acts and that makes me sad because nobody signed up except you because I signed you up and I really need you to sing because music can get boring, we need a live act!" Pinkie appeared in front of you, smiling.
"Okay... I guess." Dash responded, looking behind Pinkie at AJ, who was mingling with random people.
"Yayzies!" Pinkie said, skipping away.
Dash was blushing, it was obvious. She didn't want to wear her Daring Do costume because it meant showing off her love for the series.
"Dash, don't be embarrassed. You're dressed up like everyone else here. Pinkie should be more embarrassed than you." You smiled at Dash.
"Fine. What can we do? I'm bored. This is boring. Can we go now?" Dash hid behind you like a little girl.
"We can chat with people and stuff. Come on, let's go." You walked over to AJ, with Dash beside you, "Hi AJ."
"Howdy! How are ya?"
"I'm doing fine, thank you." You said while smiling.
"Good." Dash responded, bluntly.
"What's got ya down, RD?"
"Nothing." She crossed her arms, trying to cover up her costume in the most discreet way possible.
"Fine, don't tell me. Ah see that ya mucked up y'all costume that Rarity made you."
"Yup." You heard a loud, girlish screech, and Rarity stomped over to you.
"What did you do to the outfit?!" She lifted your arm, looking at the ugly fake blood that was stained onto the white material.
"I made it into a real costume." You wiped some fake blood off your face, and pointed at Rarity, "Lemme do the same to your dress!"
"No! Stand back!" Rarity pulled up her dress, lifting up her leg as if she was going to kick you. That glass slipper would hurt...
"Like you would kick me-" You felt the heel of her shoe slam into your stomach, and then Rarity retreating her leg and pushing her fists out in a fighting-manner.
"You ruffian! If you dare touch my silky dress, I will make sure you don't live to see the sunrise!"
"Will do... Since my stomach is aching now." You said, making Rarity return to Braeburn.
"Are you alright?" Dash asked you, lightly hugging you.
"If you'd let go of my stomach, yes." You slapped Dash's hand and walked over to the food table, picking up a cookie. Dash did the same, nomming on the cookie, "You're adorable."
"What did you say?" Dash said while chewing.
"Nothing."
"Okaaaay then." She rolled her eyes, swallowing her cookie, "Let's dance!"
"But I'm eating."
"Dammit." She frowned, but smiled when Pinkie tapped her shoulder.
"Go sing! I want you to sing now because since no one else signed up we my as well get it over with." Pinkie smiled and was only an inch away from Dash's face, Dash leaning backwards to try to get away from Pinkie.
"Pinkie. You're making this awkward." Dash's smile got an awkward added to the front of it.
"How? I'm usually this close to people because it makes their eyes turn into one giant eye. You're a Cyclops!" Pinkie's face was smushed onto the inside of her giant balloon. Oh Pinkie...
Dash took a step back and turned, starting her walk to the stage. Vinyl waved to her, and Dash waved back before taking the microphone off the stand, into her right hand.
“It's alright, you're ready, for the night of your life, stars will shine so bright. They say we're dancing the stress away. Hey hey. This beat gets underneath your feet. Right now, together we will meet. This place will blow your mind away. Hey hey.” Dash stomped her foot when she started the chorus, “Welcome to the club now, gonna pump it up now. This is an emergency. Music is my galaxy. Welcome to the club now, everybody up now. We've got it going on, until the break of dawn. Welcome to the club now, gonna pump it up now. This is an emergency. Music is my galaxy. Welcome to the club now, everybody up now. We've got it going on, until the break of dawn.”
“So put record on.” Dash sang right after the chorus ended, making the word ‘on’ sound a bit electronic.
Since Dash was singing, you had one less person to talk to. Rarity was certainly off limits, not just because Braeburn was occupying her. Twilight was off into the trees, beside Fluttershy, reading a book. The book was on how to party. Oh my Celestia...That Twilight.
"Sup Twilight?"
"Hello there." She took her nose out of her book and looked at you through her purple-rimmed glasses, "How are you doing today?"
"I'm doing fine, Dash was almost murdered in an alleyway this morning, though."
"Oh really? That's great. You know, one of the pigeons in the indoor park took my book and flew away. Now I have nothing to do and I'm bored." She responded as the book-thief flew away to the other side of the dome.
"But you're at a party..."
"Exactly my point! I'm bored!" She said, looking over to Fluttershy. She was holding Angel, petting him softly. He didn't like it and was trying to escape her grasp.
"Go mingle with people." You motioned your hand to the dozens of people that were dancing.
"Mingle? With... people?" Her mouth was hanging open, aghast. As if she never socialized before.
"Yes, you should try it sometime."
"Maybe you should mingle with books, numbskull." She crossed her arms, pouting.
"I do. Everyone once in a while. But I still have a social life." You sat down beside Twilight.
"I have a social life!" She stood up, stomping her feet.
"Oh really now? Prove it."
"How can I possibly prove it?" She huffed.
"Go talk to people. No science, no books unless they bring it up." You said, making Twilight turn around and start talking.
"Hello Fluttershy." You softly said, frightening her anyways.
"Oh my... H-hello..." She replied, biting her lip.
"How are you at this fine party?" Angel was eyeing you with his beady little eyes, making you feel awkward.
"I'm doing... Nice." She said very quietly, and you realized something. Her voice is soft, I bet her voice would be soft in a song.
"Be right back, Flutters." You got up and walked to Pinkie, who was happily bouncing to the end of Dash's song.
"Hey Pinks, Fluttershy wants to sign up for singing."
"Okie Dokie Loki!" Pinkie wrote down Fluttershy's name on a clipboard that she pulled out of thin air, then made it disappear again, "Get her over here because Dashie's song is about to end..."
"So put the record on." Dash finished the song and smiled, putting the microphone back. She then jumped off the stage.
"Now." Pinkie finished, giggling.
You walked over to Fluttershy and took her hand, forcing her up. She dropped Angel, who happily bounced around. Helping her up to the stage, she realized what was going on and squealed.
"I-I have stage fright... I can't sing in front of those people..."
"Yes you can, Flutters. Spotlights are meant to shine, and stars are too. You are a star tonight." You smiled as Fluttershy whispered a song to Vinyl. She said it very, very quietly, and Vinyl just heard her.
"Oh-Okay.." She sat down in the chair, adjusting the microphone.
Fluttershy bit her lip and looked over to you. You were telling her to close her eyes and relax, and she did exactly that.
“Once in a while, I act like a child… To feel like a kid again. It gets like a prison in the body I'm living in. Cause everyone's watching, quick to start talking. I'm losing my innocence. Wish I were a little girl… Without the weight of the world. It would be nice… To start over again, before we were men. I'd give, I'd bend… Let's play pretend.” This song was slow, just like you expected it to be. You were gonna get Dash and dance, but you decided not to since you would probably end up kissing her and getting Braeburn’s attention off Rarity, so you just lightly swayed, “Remember the time, we had soda for wine… And got by on gratitude… The worst they could do to you, was check your attitude. Yeah, when fights were for fun, we had water in guns and a place we could call our own. How we lost hold of home, I guess I'll never know.” You thought of a plan, and carried it out. You walked over to Twilight and took her hand, much like you did with Dash. Except Twi wasn’t laughing, she was blushing. You twirled her and danced with her to the tune, hoping it wouldn’t change since you didn’t know the song.
“It would be nice… To start over again, before we were men. I'd give, I'd bend… Let's play pretend.”
The song continued on, and when Fluttershy was done singing, which was exactly one minute later, she opened her eyes. She squealed and hid behind her hair until everyone started clapping, before you did you had to let go of Twi's hand. So you did, clapping to encourage Fluttershy. You smiled as she looked around from behind her hair. You did great, Fluttershy.
And from behind her long, light pink hair... You could see a small smile forming.
November Snows And Rainbow Glows
Ah, November. The month where the fricking freezing weather eats you up, leaving no cold and no place uncovered with snow. The rain has been switching to sleet, and then slipping into having the structure, and temperature, of snow. November 7th was the day of snow. Literally, the college was overwhelmed with snow... Which sucked because Dash hated going outside even though her clothes made her toasty. The indoor park was wired to be set at the same temperature as outside, and same weather. No parties in there, since it was covered in snow.
"Hey Dash wanna go outside-"
"No." Dash was on the couch, wrapped in about six layers of blankets. Yet, she was still shivering.
"You're still cold?" You asked, while putting on a jacket.
"Well duh. You aren't?!"
"I'm actually a bit warm in this jacket." Maybe, just maybe...
"My jacket! I'm freezing!" She popped her arms out of her blankets, trying to grab you even if you were at the door and she was on the couch. You smiled and walked over to her, plopping onto the couch. Wrapping your arms around her, Dash sighed, "Your jacket, not actually you."
"I'm not appreciated? I'm sad, Dashie." You hugged her tighter, your smile getting wider.
"Don't call me that, only Pinks can call me that."
"Why? Is she special or something? Really special?" Dash couldn't escape if she tried, all those covers plus you wrapped around her was too much.
"Stop, seriously. I've been there before."
"Oh whoa whoa whoa! You're-" Your hopes died down, your smile fading along with your tight grasp.
"Was. I'm past that, bro." She closed her eyes, placing her head on your shoulder.
"So you and Pinkie... I can't believe that. I refuse to believe that." You took your right arm out from under Dash and rubbed your temple, processing it.
"Believe it. Pinkie and I dated, and that's why I still let her call me Dashie. That's why I got mad at her when she kissed you; It reminded me of when we broke up. Actually, she broke up with me."
"My brain hurts, Dash."
"Mine does too. I'm going to fall asleep." She closed her eyes and let her chest move up and down through her fluid breathing.
"Wait!" You said, poking her in the chest. Which might've or might not have been appropriate.
"What?" She murmured as she slapped your hand that basically assaulted her.
"You had any other... Um... Female relationships I should know about?" By Celestia I hope not.
"AJ, Fluttershy." As soon as Dash said that, you choked on air.
"WHAT?!"
"Hm?" Her breathing slowed down as if she was asleep, but she was still talking to you.
"I... Have a nice nap." You disregarded it, and let Dash fall asleep. Even you fell asleep eventually, but jolted back awake to the feeling of a leg wrapped lightly around yours.
"Dash..?" Silence, "Um... Dash?"
The leg got tighter and she twisted around, her nose touching yours. You weren't quite sure how you felt about that, since she was asleep and all... You decided to poke her, even resorting to one awkward thing.
"It's for the best." You grabbed Dash's hand and massaged it, making her sit up instantly.
"Don't. You. Dare." She held up her left hand in a fist, as her right hand was being massaged by you.
"You're hands are soft. Can I keep rubbing them?" I think I know the answer.
"No. You know what happens if you touch my hands." She frowned at you, shivering, "Now let go."
"But they're so soooooffft!" You said, as she tried to jerk away.
"Stop, Celestia dammit!" The back of her fist slammed against your face, making you release her hand, "Ha."
"But they were soft, Dashie!"
"1. That sounds perverted. 2. No!" She made her legs slip from under her when she got to stand on her bed, arms crossed and a pout. Don't forget the angry face, that made it overall adorable.
"You're so adorable!" You shout, frustrated, "Stop being so cute!"
"What? I'm cute? Oh really now." She turned her pout into a smirk, and uncrossed her arms.
"Yes, Dash. You're too cute for me to handle."
"The kid-cute or hot-cute?" Her smirk had the probability to kill you, it was so... Hot.
"Dash, will you-" Pinkie burst through the door, shouting Dash's name. Be my girlfriend...
"We need to talk, Dashie!" Pinkie shouted, a serious look on her face.
"Okay?" The two girls walked over to Pinkie's room, and you put your ear to the wall like you did with their argument.
"Dashie, I miss you."
"Huh? We see each other, like, everyday at school or your parties."
"No, Dashie. I miss you as in I miss when we were together."
"Oh. Pinkie, I'm not..." Dash started, "I'm not like that anymore, Pinks."
"But..."
"I'm not saying no, Pinkie. Just think about it a bit longer. You left me because I was too controlling, you want to go through that again?" Dash started to turn around, frowning.
"I thought! I'm ready, Dashie!"
"No, think." Dash walked out of the room, and back into hers. She belly flopped onto her bed, sighing. You quickly removed your ear from the wall before Dash noticed, giving an awkward poker face.
"What was that about?"
"I prefer not to talk about it." She rolled onto her back, staring over at you, "What were you gonna ask me?"
"Will you get out of your covers and come outside?" I'm a lowly coward.
"Nope." She slipped her feet under her blankets, poking her head out the top. An announcement started through the speakers that were implanted in the walls.
"Female volleyball tryouts in ten minutes, indoors. Come to the gym." Bonbon's voice cheerfully said, making Dash swipe off her blankets and run to the closet, pulling out blue shorts and a white t-shirt.
"What are you doing, exactly?" You questioned Dash as she ripped off her three layers of clothing, putting on the athletic-type outfit.
"Trying out for volleyball, why else would I be wearing a volleyball uniform?" She put her hair up in a sloppy ponytail, and somehow grabbed a volleyball out of thin air. She volleyed it upwards and gravity made it push back down, the same process repeating over and over again.
"You're cold in millions of covers, but when you get into that uniform where your arms and up to your thighs are exposed, you're alright?"
"Yup. I'm gonna go to the gym, you can watch if you'd like." You yawned when Dash said this, but smiled at her next remark, "There's lots of chicks there with really exposing shirts and pants."
"I'm in!" You followed Dash out the door and down the stairs, entering the gym that was technically a separate building.
There was a lot of girls, wearing the same thing as Dash. All were athletic except Twilight, who seemed to be off onto the stage, reading. She was obviously forced to try out. All the girls were called over to the coach, and slowly walked over. As she passed, you looked at her backside. Her back was arched enough to be considered not too much posture or not slouching.
"So, ladies! There is, I don't know... 20 of you?" An older male with dark blue hair asked, smiling at the 'ladies'.
"21, actually." Twilight was one of the shorter girls in the group, or acted like it. She's barely smaller than Dash, but her confidence is zero.
"Whatever. We can only have eight. Five for our team, and three for backup incase our players get hurt," He looked at Dash, who was listening attentively, "Dash, I heard you got into a little... Fight last week."
"Oh that... It wasn't much of a fight. It was more of an attempted murder." She said, rubbing her shoulder. Her shoulder healed up a while ago, and didn't bleed on pressure.
"We can't have you getting into those type of situations if you make the team." He pointed to the left side of the net, "Everyone who thinks they can make it, move over there."
Nineteen out of twenty-one moved, Twilight and Lyra staying on the right, "You girls, why don't you think you can make it?"
"I'm doing it to get out of cooking." Lyra said, slowly walking over to the left, "The practices are in the time of that stupid class."
"Lyra Heartstrings, you're out." The coach said, frowning.
"Meh. I'll go try out for swimming." She said while stomping to the door.
"Now there's twenty." He turned back to Twi, "Why don't you think you can make it?"
"I'm... Not very confident."
"Get over to the left side."
"Alright." You watched Twi walk over to the left side, and the tryouts actually beginning. They simply went in pairs of two, one on each side of the net. The ball volleyed, bumped or got served over the net. Dash was really good at volleying an bumping, but her serves weren't ideal. The coach walked over to her and from behind, he grabbed her wrists, showing her how to do it properly. Dash just blushed from the closeness, and a pang of envy hit you in your stomach.
"Now you try it, Dash." He said, and Dash served the ball. It was perfect, "Good job."
"Thanks Soarin'." Soarin', eh?
The girls were paired up and split into groups, four fives. Soarin' explained how the winners of their own game were going to play another game, together. The people who work the hardest were going to get picked, but he didn't say that. Dash was in a group with Twi, AJ and two other girls.
"Ah'll serve." AJ went to the back, and you stared at her thighs. Dammit, I'm acting like the perv that was staring at Octavia and Trixie.
The other team volleyed it over, towards Twilight. She moved to the right, sliding away from the ball. The ball smashed against the ground, and Dash sighed.
"Here Twi..." She wrapped around Twilight and did the same thing Soarin' did, except with bumping.
"But that hurts my wrists..."
"Don't use your wrists, use this fleshy bone thingy that is under your thumb." Dash said, and released.
"Okay, I got it. Thanks Dash."
This time, Dash served and it went over instantly. One to one. Someone from the other team served, making the ball bump repeatedly over the net. AJ jumped up and spiked it, getting another point for her team. This went on and on until Dash's team reached the max point of five. The other game was quickly finished, and the winners went together into a different game. Soarin' wrote down two names and looked back up, surveying the girls.
"So, you know who's gonna be on the team?" You asked Soarin' who shrugged.
"I only have three out of eight girls written down. Dash is a sure, I mean, have you seen her ass?" He smirked, not looking up from his clipboard.
"Yeah, I have-" You furrowed your brows in confusion, "Dude... Aren't you like, ten years older than her?"
"Nah, I'm only two years older than her." He quickly sketched down another name.
"I'm guessing you enjoyed helping her with that serve, then?"
"The only reason I helped her is because she's hot. Why are you asking so many questions?" Soarin' looked up at you, finally.
"No reason." You walked away as the final game ended, Dash's team winning again.
"Okay girls, feel free to socialize with each other while I finish choosing people." He scribble two names, having two left now.
"So far, I have... Dash, Applejack, Emerald, Aloe, Lotus and Twilight." Soarin' said, making Aloe and Lotus squeal in happiness. Dash and AJ brofisted, and Twilight gave a confused look to Soarin'.
"Why Aloe and Lotus?" You questioned Soarin', knowing the answer.
"Because they're hot, and decent enough at volleyball." He whispered back to you, then wrote down two other girl names and called them out, "Sorry you others, you almost made it!"
Everyone that didn't make it exited, and the eight girls went to Soarin' to get their uniform; which was a white t-shirt with royal blue trim, and some royal blue shorts. Everyone left, including you and Dash. As you reached the dorm, another announcement came on for swimming, and Dash smiled widely again
Oh Celestia no.
Sports, Oh Joy Sports
At first you were angry that Dash was trying out for another sport; that is until she put on her swimsuit. A two piece blue swimsuit that framed her curves perfectly. The top was simple, almost like a sports bra. Her bottoms were shorts, really short though, and were the same colour as her top. The band and trim of the shorts were rainbow, fiting her name. It gave her the tomboyish look that she nailed. She wrapped herself in a completely white towel, not counting the large rainbow lightning bolt on it.
"I'm ready!" She said, slipping into flip flops.
"Damn right you're ready, no more sports after this."
"Aw." She walked out the door, her flip flops making the noise they were named after.
As you walked down, you saw Pinkie wearing a pink two piece, spaghetti straps, the top ending with frills of pastel colours. Her bottoms were a very short skirt, with the frills and pastel colours like the top. Around her waist was a rubber alligator, and she was wearing a snorkel. Her hair was straight at the top because of the snorkel, but puffed out at the bottom. She was also wearing yellow flippers, which made her walk funny. To top it off, she wore a giant smile on her face.
"Hiya guys! Are you trying out for the swim club, Dashie? I bet you'll win for your swimsuit, I love how it makes you look sexier than usual-"
"PINKIE." Dash blushed, pulling Pinkie away, "Think about it."
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie said, attempting to skip down the stairs with her flippers. That's when you realized that in her hair, there was a small gator clinging onto her pink locks.
"Pinkie... You have an alligator in your hair."
"I know, silly! He's my pet Gummy! He's perfectly harmless, he has no teeth." She giggled and continued her flop down the stairs.
"But it still is dangerous."
"Nopey wopey artichoke!" She jumped off the last step, landing on the tip of her flippers and tipping forwards. Of course, she landed on her face, "Wowy owy."
Her pink hair was spread all around her head, one of her legs up and you tiny skirt facing upwards. Being a sir, you looked away as Dash helped her up... For the sake of seeing her tight swimsuit underneath that skirt.
"Pinks, be more careful. You're the tiniest bit clumsy." Dash said after helped Pinkie up and grabbing her towel because it fell off.
"The tryouts are starting soon, can I look now?" You yelled at them after trying your hardest to not look, biting your lip.
"Why wouldn't you be able to look in the first place?" Pinkie innocently said, letting you remove your hand from your eyes. She skipped off, to a room labeled 'Indoor Pool'.
"Pinkie's oblivious to that kind of stuff, dude. Just go with the flow." Dash said, walking beside you into the room, "Looks like the coach isn't here, we have time to practice."
She threw her towel at you, are your vision was covered by white. You sighed and ripped it off, throwing it to a nearby chair. Dash walked to the deep end and dove in, not before putting on her goggles. They were blue, no duh. Pinkie cannonballed in, somehow with her flippers on. Gummy was out of her hair and laying on his back on a chair, same with her floating devices. Yes, they were laying on their back on a chair. Dash did some basic strokes such as front, back and breast. Pinkie just kinda floated and splashed around like a fish out of water... In water...
"Dashie! Dashie!"
"What Pinks?"
"TIDAL WAVE!" Pinkie shouted, sending a giant splash over to Dash, who got completely covered in another layer of water.
"TSUNAMI!" Dash yelled back, starting a splash war.
"Having fun, swimmers?" A female voice came from behind you, and you turned to see Spitfire in an orange two-piece, the top like Dash's and the bottoms a normal style of swimsuit.
Dash stopped and turned to Spitfire, saluting, "No, ma'am, no!"
Pinkie swooshed another wave over Dash, and Dash just stood there, holding in a laugh, "Gotcha!"
"You girls continue, I have to do some preparing and things like that." Spitfire walked over to the hot tub, which had a purple haired fancy girl in it... Rarity, to be exact, "Pardon me, Rarity, I would like for you to move unless you're watching the tryouts."
"No thank you, darling. I would like to stay without watching these girls swim around like fish." She said, not moving from her position in the hot water.
"I asked nicely, now get out."
"I say you are acting rather rude!" Rarity opened her eyes and glared at Spitfire, who glared back.
Spitfire grabbed Rarity's hand out of the hot tub and pulled her up, making her stand up, "I'll push you out."
"Oh really? You would not dare to." Rarity huffed, shaking free of Spitfire's hand. She slipped into some white platform sandals that matched her white, very revealing, bikini.
Spitfire dared to, and pushed Rarity out of the hot tub, making her trip over the edge and fall into the pool. Rarity's hair was flat and soaked, because she was splashing all over the place. Spitfire dived in, and Rarity punched her head hard because of her flailing. Dash saw this happen, it was hard not to, and dived into the pool since she crawled for more diving practice. She swam over quickly and lifted the unconscious Spitfire over the edge of the pool, onto the cement. She did the same with Rarity, who got up and touched her head.
"My hair!"
"Rarity, I saved your life and you're worried about your hair?" Dash said while checking Spitfire's pulse.
"Thank you about that, now I must spend a few hours fixing this mess." Rarity picked up a hat and put it on, it not even covering half of her surprisingly long hair.
Dash felt Spitfire's pulse, but her breath was light. How many times has Dash been in an awkward situation that only you consider awkward today? Two. Soarin' at volleyball and Dash with Spitfire at this moment. She put her hands on her chest and pushed, then reached her head down to kiss Spitfire. No, no. It's not a kiss. It's CPR.
She continued this process until Spitfire became conscious and breathing. Spitfire widened her eyes because she woke up to Dash breathing air into her, making, yet again, an awkward situation. Dash separated her lips from Spitfire's and smiled, hugging Spitfire.
"Whoa there, Dash. I basically just died, space?"
"I just saved your life, though! Don't I get a hug?" Dash pouted.
"Fine." Spitfire hugged back and released almost instantly, getting up, "Obviously you've made the team."
"Time to try out for soccer!" Dash shouted after getting up and pointing to the sky
You dropped to your knees, arms to the sky, "NOOOOOO!"
"Get up." Dash said with an non-amused face.
"Kay." You got up from your knees and walked with Dash to the dorm.
But seriously... No.
Ungrateful Bi-
"Anything?"
"Anything." You replied to Dash, smirking.
"So if I win in a game of your choice... ANYTHING?" Dash looked over to Pinkie.
"This is the tenth time we've gone through this. Yes."
"Pinkie Pie Promise?" Pinkie said with a serious face.
"What?" This time, you looked over to Pinkie, "Um, sure?"
"YAYZIES!" Pinkie stood in front of the Xbox Kinect, guiding her hand to play the game, "The person with the highest score in the end, wins."
And so it began, the game of Just Dance 4. Dash was rocking to Mr. Saxobeat by Alexandra Stan, not missing many moves. Dayum.
Since Pinkie's door was wide open, many people were gathered around to watch the battle. Including Rarity, AJ and Fluttershy. You were blushing because you occasionally found yourself, I don't know.... Drooling.
"What the hell is goin' on here?" AJ said to Dash, making her miss a step.
"AJ! Nothing, we're just having a competition..." Dash smiled and kept her pace with the girl on the screen.
"Ah don't mind. Shake those hips, RD!"
"APPLEJACK!" Dash shouted, feeling awkward because she actually had to shake for the next move.
"What is this horrid music? I would prefer if you would change it to something a bit more... Classical." Rarity walked into the room, disapproving of the music.
"Relax, Rarity." AJ rolled her eyes, "It's just a bit of fun. Ever hear of it?"
"I have so heard of 'fun'!" Rarity crossed her arms and turned around, watching as Dash threw out her arms steadily. As she finished off the song, Pinkie hopped in and read the screen.
"5 stars! You're next!" She chose a song, specifically a girly song that you facepalmed at. Pinkie giggled and looked at you, saying the song title very loudly. She then looked the crowd, puzzled.
"On The Floor by Jennifer Lopez!" She clapped her hands when she said it for the second time, "If you want you can choose a person who's watching, out of random choice."
"Cool..." You thought for a while, Rarity was a no... AJ seemed to like watching... Fluttershy is probably my best choice.
"I'll do it." Fluttershy stepped in between AJ and Rarity. Didn't even have to ask!
Fluttershy went up to the area, and the song started. Her dancing started weak, like her singing at the Nightmare Night party. In the end, Fluttershy dropped to one knee and pointed downwards, looking at the Kinect sensor. Sadly, because of the beginning, she got 4 stars.
"Dammit!" You shouted, as now Dash was able to tell you what to do, "Not your fault, Fluttershy."
Fluttershy scurried away smiling, and AJ turned to Rarity, "See? Even Fluttershy had some fun. Y'all as boring as a gray stone."
"That is it!" Rarity walked up closer to Pinkie, "Play a battle song... Preferably something with purple and orange. Orange as Applejack and purple as me."
"Okie dokie lokie!" She chose a battle song, "How's Super Bass VS Love You Like A Love Song?"
"It has purple. It is fine." Rarity looked behind her at AJ, "Get up here, country dirt."
"Finally! Some fun!" AJ exclaimed, taking off her over-shirt, leaving on a tight undershirt.. They battled, it ending up in a tie. But Rarity, must you say, looked as feisty as she was at the nightclub. AJ did too, but in the 'country' way.
So, that period of time was full of dancing and such. The full five hours. You looked over to Dash at the end, who smirked and rubbed her hands together.
"Anything." And there's her rapeface.
"Erm..."
"Kiss Rarity."
"Why so much kissing?!"
"Because." She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, like she does all the time.
"But you're bisexual..! Do it yourself!" As that slipped out, she slapped you across the face.
"I don't like every single frickin' female!" She slapped you again, "Fine. Kiss Twilight next time you see her."
"Whatever." You looked at your watch, and realized the time. You didn't have dinner, neither did everyone else that was watching. Meh. I'm tired.
Everyone was gone except Dash and you... Because duh. You jumped in your bed and fell asleep after Dash whispered the five words that gave you nightmares.
"Never break a Pinkie Promise."
Pinkie skipped along the trail of yellow brick, a couple of monsters popping out of nowhere, possessing her very soul. Dash was somehow flying above her, mouthing to you.
"Never break a Pinkie Promise." Her mouths moved, no words coming out. You travelling along behind Pinkie, when Dash was pulled down by a bloody arm.
"Yes, Dashie. Never break a Pinkie Promise... Never tell anybody about breaking Pinkie Promises... NOBODY BREAKS A PINKIE PROMISE!" Pinkie plucked a knife from her fat, poofy hair and sliced Dash's shoulder, much like her attempted murder.
"PINKIE! STOP!"
"Never, Dashie. Never."
"PINK-" Dash was cut off by the stab of a knife, and Pinkie looked around. Her eyes locked with yours and turned yellow, her smile turning creepily large. The shadows on her face darkened.
"Pinkie..." You stepped backwards, slightly blinded by the gory scene that you just witnessed, "Pinkie?!"
"Farewell, sweetie." She stood up slowly from her crouch, walking towards you with the creepy smile. She reached up and a baseball bat materialized, falling into her hand, "Night, night."
You woke up in a dark cellar, to the sound of metal blades clashing and a ding, "Ooh! My cupcakes are ready!"
"Pinkie?!" You shouted through the cloth in your mouth.
"You're awake? Would you like a cupcake? I added a dash of rainbows." She came uncomfortably close to you, holding a hot pan of cupcakes in her left hand, and a sharp knife in her right.
"No. I wouldn't like a cupcake!"
"Fine then. I'll make more cupcakes!" Her knife made contact with your skin, making you bleed. You screamed and attempted to escape, to be held down by binds.
"Are you alright?" You didn't answer the mysterious voice, "Hello?"
There was a comforting hug at your side, but when you looked over no one was there. Pinkie kept cutting you until you died of blood loss, and the whole scene replayed twice. But with Fluttershy as the victim and another version with Twilight, you were forced to watch and eat the cupcakes. The third and final time, you looked away from the victim, who was Rarity. Beside you was Dash with her adorable face, hugging you tightly.
"It's alright, it's all a dream." She mouthed, not being able to talk as a ghost. You nodded and looked back at Twi, who wasn't there. There was a very, very, very loud ding and you passed out.
You woke up at 3:36am, sweating. Your eyes shifted to your waist, where a tan arm lay. The smell of skittles filled your nostrils and you smiled at Dash's presence. Obviously, she came to comfort you in your nightmare. After another hour of smiling, you passed out because of your tiredness. The dream was of you saving the victims of a Wind Goddess named Sandy, one of them being Rarity. As you helped her start to breath, she got up and walked away. She was definitely an ungrateful bi-
Damn you, alarm.
There Go Your Hopes
"Dash. It's a P.A. Day. Kill the alarm." You grumbled.
"But it's so far away and I'm warm."
"Because you're hugging me. About that, why'd you come over here? A bit lonely, perhaps?" Her eyes glared at you, even though she was facing your head.
"You were kicking your legs and screaming 'DASH! DASH!'. A bit lonely, perhaps?" She nudged her head into the back of yours, snuggling even closer.
"Shut up. It was a nightmare about Pinkie turning you into cupcakes." Why are her hands so cold now?
"Are you a physic that can look into the past?" She coldly said, making your eyes widen.
"What?"
"Pinkie has these little insane streaks... And..." She paused, "Since we were dating, she didn't technically hurt me... Just... Let's say she used my 'fluids' to make cupcakes."
"Eww."
"Hey! All my friends ate them and said that they were delicious... I'm delicious." Her warm breath was hitting your neck, making you smile.
"Wish I knew." You forgot how close Dash was to you when you blurted that out quietly.
"You're so perverted." She squeezed your chest slightly for punishment.
"You heard that?"
"I'm basically raping you because I'm so close to you. Whaddya think?"
"Ooh, rape." You reached your hand around yourself and poked her.
"Stoppit." She hissed, possibly biting your finger.
"Nu."
"Screw you." Her warmth was still beside you, being awesome and such.
"Gladly." Dash's arm was removed from your side and was slapped against her forehead.
"Seriously stop. I have to meet Pinkie in 10 minutes."
"Why?"
"I've agreed to something." She rolled out of the bed and stood up, plucking some clothing out of the dresser, "Look away."
"But you're fine with me looking usually."
"Ugh." She quickly undressed and awkwardly dressed herself again, with you trying not to look. She grabbed a brush to comb her hair, but set it back down and went to the door. As she opened it, burst into the room, tackling Dash.
"Thank you for accepting, I mean I thought I was going to live alone forever. Forever alone is a big no-no." She was on the top of Dash, smiling.
"Wow." Dash pushed Pinkie off of her and balanced herself on her two legs. Pinkie also stood up, but basically jumped up. Dash lightly kissed Pinkie on the cheek, making your heart jump off a cliff into icy waters of your own tears.
"Yayzies!" You actually shed a tear when Pinkie went in for a kiss... Or make-out session...
"Pinks." Dash said as she broke apart from the minute long kiss, "Breakfast?"
"It's lunchtime, silly!"
Dash sighed, "Lunch?"
"Yeppers!" Pinkie skipped out the door, Dash following her.
"My dreams are crushed." You sadly said as Dash slammed the door loudly.
After that, you decided to get dressed and walk around the school, hoping you wouldn't come in contact with Twilight. Walking around got boring and cold, so you entered the library. Twilight was there, but you didn't see her, and couldn't see her. She was behind the librarian desk, reading tens of books. You slowly reached up to a shelf, pulling down a book. Because romance is just what I need.
You sat down at a table and opened your book to page one, silently reading it over. The beautiful colours on the cover hurt your mind because they were too vibrant.
The warm morning breeze brushed her beautiful, flowing hair out of her pale face, letting her bright pink eyes glow for all the world. The darkness around her blended in with her hair, but the rest of her shone brightly like a diamond in the sky. Her dress was tightly secured against her body, showing off her wonderful curves. Her name was Octavia-
"What." You said, loud enough for Twilight to hear.
"Is there a problem?" She popped her head up from under the desk, locking eyes with you. Getting up, she adjusted her glasses and headed towards you. She picked the book out of your hands and read the title, "Opposite Notes... This book was written in point of view of someone in this very college."
"About someone in this very college, too."
"Oui, Octavia is one of the best musicians in the school." She gave the book back to you, and looked into your eyes. As you promised, you barely touched Twilight's cheek as you kissed her... Making her blush an incredible red, "What was that for?"
"No clue. I shall continue reading!"
"You do so." She turned around and ran behind the desk again, opening about three books and switching between them by chapter, then writing something down. You picked up the book yet again, rolling your eyes.
The warm morning breeze brushed her beautiful, flowing hair out of her pale face, letting her bright pink eyes glow for all the world. The darkness around her blended in with her hair, but the rest of her shone brightly like a diamond in the sky. Her dress was tightly secured against her body, showing off her wonderful curves. Her name was Octavia, the most beautiful being on earth. She plucked her bow off the ground and walked over to a brand new cello, starting to play it. The notes coming out of the instrument were much different than my musical notes, they were the complete opposite. Hers were soft and calming, while my music was meant to be in clubs for a relaxing time of dancing. But I still went to the show, expecting a terrible performance. That thought was circling through my mind until I saw Octavia come onto stage. Such sophistication, even though I don't even have a millimeter of that in me. When she finished, she dropped her music-maker and walked off stage, tears streaming down her face and ruining the shadowy makeup she had on. I didn't clap, I was too amazed at her act and the sadness at the end. I ran around to backstage, pushing the guards aside. The-
"Pardon me?" A sweet voice said, and you slammed the book shut at the familiarity, "Oh, It is you. Hi Octavia..."
"What are you reading?" She nodded at the book's cover.
"A book about you..."
"PARDON ME?!" She snatched the book and read the first paragraph, gasping, "This is... This is flattering... But who wrote it?"
"No clue, sorry Octavia." You shrugged at her question.
"This is a mystery meant to be solved." She walked away after giving you the book, off to her room for answers.
Oh joy a mystery...
Ermergerd Journal
If Dash was back in the room by now... She better be. It was midnight and you put away the book you were reading, under your pillow. There were probably only two books in the room, one's a Daring Do book and one's Opposite Notes. Of course, you liked to read but didn't read that much... Dash likes to read no matter how much she denies it. You looked over to Dash's bed, and saw something blue sticking out from under the pillow. Three books, actually...
You sloppily rolled out of bed, the floor slapping your face, and crawled onto Dash's bed. After your triumph, you realized the book had a lock and you threw it across the room. The lock broke because it was fragile, and shattered like glass onto the floor below. Your frown grew into a mile-wide smile and you lunged at the book as it was falling, forgetting the blanket that was wrapped around your legs. In mid-air, the blanket decided to wrap around your head to blind you for the time being, and you went head-first into the wall with the book clutched tightly to your chest. You slid down the wall, your head below your feet, and rose your arms up to the air in victory... Then the book started teetering off your palms, and jumped off. Back to Dash's bed. The blanket around your head was ripped off and you got up in defeat, just picking up the book like a normal person. Being normal is hard.
The book in your hands was now millions of shining grenades, as you drooled at your prize. You looked back and forth quickly before you flipped the cover open. As you opened up the cover, it fell off. Shrugging, you read the first sentence that had the words 'What you see in here is a complete secret. FOREVER', and then a picture of Pinkie Pie shouting. After you pondered on rather to read it or not, two little figures appeared on your shoulders. One was a pony, the other a dragon, lion, falcon hybrid thingy. The pony was a very, very light pink mare with wings and a horn, her mane and tail flowing much like Principal Celestia's.
"Oh hello, I see this book is important, is it not?" The hybrid monster said.
"Discord."
"Tia."
"That name is reserved for loved ones, not you." The pony kept a straight and serious face.
"And this book here," He started flying around your neck, reaching the 'Tia' character, "Is reserved for one person, hm?"
"Indeed. And I trust that he," Tia pointed a hoof at your ear, "Knows that."
"No, actually... I have no frickin' clue what this book is." You stared at the book.
"It's Dash's journal, fool." 'Discord' poked the page, flipping it up a bit.
"It is the correct thing to do, do not look in it." Tia was damn serious.
"Look in it."
"Do not look in it."
"In it look!" Discord flew over to Tia and pet her flowing mane, purring.
"Disgusting." She said as you flipped the page, revealing stuff that you have no clue what it is.
The two figures disappeared into thin air and left you with the book, which was full of drawings and words. The one drawing that made you pay attention to it had writing with blue pen and pink pen, the pink was dotted with balloons and had swirlies. Above the writing was the actual picture. You constantly looked between the picture and the writing.
Pinkie drew a picture of me as a pony... Oh joy.
I think it's adorable!
The next page was just writing, full of secrets. It was first about how Fluttershy and Dash first met, and how Fluttershy finally worked up the courage to ask Dash out. They dated and then it got graphic. It kind of described their first time together in bed. You skimmed that part for the sake of your brain and other things. The break up was something you wanted to read, though.
It was depressing when Flutters and I broke up... It's something you wouldn't expect from her at all. She cheated on me. Yes, cheated. With a boy. I caught them kissing in the middle of the basketball court. I confronted her in the middle of the kiss by separating them and kicking the boy in the nuts. Then I yelled at him and gave Flutters a dirty look as I ran away. I steered away from her for the rest of the year, but then we decided to become best friends. She got jealous when I asked Pinkie out, though. So she ignored me until Pinkie broke up with me because I was too controlling. I took a break with the dating for about a year... Just because.
The door swung open and Dash stumbled in, Pinkie following her while giggling. Dash kept tripping over her own feet, falling to the ground and attempting to get up.
"Had the awesomest time ever Pinkie, return my bra tomorrow." Dash slurred, sloppily kissing Pinkie on the cheek.
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie returned the kiss and looked at you, her eyes widening. She mouthed the word 'forever' and eyed the journal. Dash fell over again so Pinkie helped her up and pushed her onto her own bed, snatching the book out of your hands and stuffing it under the pillow.
"This book is Dashie's secret, meant to be hers and mine. You better not reveal it." Pinkie whispered to you after Dash fell asleep almost instantly.
"I promise..." You murmured, scared.
"Pinkie promise?"
"Sure?"
"Cross your heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in your eye?" She did weird actions with her hands, then put them back on her beautiful hips.
"...Sure?"
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie shouted as she hopped off, breaking her seriousness. Dash twitched at Pinkie's outburst, but was still asleep. Pinkie's really curvy, how have I not noticed that before.
Pinkie was about to close the door when Octavia appeared in silk pajamas, her hair messed up and for once... Without a bowtie. She pointed down to her room and shouted as loud as she could, burning your ears.
"I KNOW WHO WROTE THE BOOK!"
Not Another Word
"Who wrote it, Octavia?" You and Pinkie looked at each other, shrugging.
"Vinyl. Scratch."
"One second." You said, getting out of bed and going to the bathroom to retrieve a glass of water. You returned with it full and you sipped out of it, then spittaked, "What?!"
Octavia frowned and placed her hands to her eyes, swiping outwards and flicking the water from her vision. She wiped off her cheeks and nose, too. When she was done, she looked back to you, "Yes. Vinyl."
"She isn't that talented with writing." You protested, accidentally dropping your water glass onto the ground. The glass didn't shatter, luckily.
"You obviously have not seen our room. Her drawings and writing pieces are plastered all over the walls. Well, her two walls." Her hair was all messed up from frustration.
"You split walls...?"
"Yes, she is a messy and disgusting and she likes me!" She stomped her feet, "I am not attracted to her at all! I am not attracted to any femal-" Her face turned red as she started that word.
"Ooh! Octy-wocty swings that way-ayey!" Pinkie hopped around, poking Octavia.
"No. I was raised better than this." Octavia turned around as Pinkie started to talk, "Not another word."
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie skipped outside with Octavia, but turned the opposite direction to go to her room instead.
You slapped your forehead at the confused females all around you that all lived in the college, and carefully slipped the journal out from under Dash's pillow. The cover page was still sitting on the ground but you didn't care, you found your page and smiled as you continued reading.
By Celestia I think I'm gonna go bisexual. Girls are so annoying. AJ just broke up with me because Rarity found out about, as she put it, our 'secret affair'. I'm going to college soon from a scholarship. Sport scholarship, duh. I hope I meet some friends. I don't know if my current ones will be there. It's possible. The plane ride will hopefully be fast, I like fast. I've always wanted to soar through the air with wings, that would be so fun. Anyways, write here when I get to the college.
"Wazzat." Dash slurred, pointing at the book that she should recognize.
"Nothing." You threw the book across the room at Dash's Xbox and closed your eyes, hoping for sleep. It came eventually, with perverted dreams of Pinkie's behind.
You woke to the shower turning on and Dash in the bathroom with the door wide open. She noticed you were awake and hid behind the door, slowly closing it. The Xbox had the book beside it so you ran over to it and plucked it up, stuffing it into it's original place. You smiled and turned to Dash's iPod, picking it up and attempting the passcode. You failed many times and it disabled, so you placed it back down and decided to get dressed. The water turned off and Dash exited the bathroom with a towel wrapped around herself, like the first time you met her.
"How are you still stable? Aren't you supposed to have a hangover?" Sitting down on the couch, you picked up your cellphone. Five texts.
[10:00] Pinkie Pie: Hiya!
[10:00] Pinkie Pie: R u there?
[10:15] Pinkie Pie: WAKE UP.
[10:16] Pinkie Pie: Okee I'll b at the mall if u need me.
[10:30] Pinkie Pie: I'm at Victoria's Secret, meet me there if u wanna see me.
Pinkie...
"For some reason I don't get hangovers." She quickly dried her hair and grabbed some clothing. As she got dressed her phone rung and she pressed the answer button with her toe, then the speakerphone, "Sup Pinks?"
"Meet me at the mall with your roommate, okay bye." Pinkie shouted and hung up, making Dash look at you with a confused look. You resisted the urge to look at her bra and instead mentally slammed your head against a wall.
"I'm gonna go, you?" Dash slipped on a t-shirt and put her phone into her skinny jeans' pocket.
"Sure." You did the same with your phone, except you were wearing normal jeans.
Dash and you walked to the mall, her texting Pinkie and AJ the whole way there. You weren't sure what AJ's messages were, but you saw four texts of Pinkie and Dash.
[10:35] Dash: Where u at?
[10:35] Pinks: Victoria's Secret.
[10:36] Dash: u gettin' something sexy 2 wear for me?
[10:36] Pinks: Maaaaybe ;)
I wish I could unsee what I just saw.
Dash smirked and put away her phone as she entered the mall, looking for Victoria's Secret on the mall map in front of the door.
"Dash, I can't go into that shop..."
"You have me as an excuse, derp." She nudged you and headed up the escalator.
Pinkie was indeed in the shop, looking at pink bras. She disappeared and reappeared beside the store helper, asking if they had it with balloons imprinted on it.
"Pinks!" Dash shouted, running into the shop. She left you alone to walk into the shop... Alone...
"Thanks Dash. Appreciate it." You angrily whispered as you awkwardly entered the store.
To sum up your terrible experience in Victoria's Secret, Dash bought nothing and Pinkie bought two undergarments. You bought nine-thousand embarrassment points. Pinkie led Dash and you into the food court, where many people from the college were stuffing their faces. Except Octavia, who was politely eating with Vinyl. Vinyl apparently made a joke that let Octavia laugh a bit, breaking her fanciness. Octavia, still laughing, turned to Dash and widened her eyes. She quickly spun around on the chair and picked up something from the table, attaching it to her neck. It was her bowtie. She waved you over, trying to avert her eyes from Vinyl.
"Oh hello Octavia." Dash smiled and winked at Vinyl as she pulled a seat from another table and sat down in a 'this gonna be good' fashion.
"She asked me for lunch, I came for lunch. Nothing else." Octavia blurted to make her point.
"True, guys. I was hungry and she was too." Vinyl was wearing her regular glasses. You still didn't know if she needed them to see or not, but weren't going to ask.
"We're gonna eat here too, okay?" Pinkie also pulled up a chair, then another one for you. Being the only gentleman there, and Octavia being the only lady there, you both went up to get food for the group. Even though Octavia and Vinyl had food, Octavia volunteered to pay.
You two returned with KFC, and everyone except Octavia ate. Octavia's excuse was that she sticks to three meals a day. Three meals a day my ass.
"I am so lucky I have high metabolism." Vinyl said through a bunch of chicken.
"Me too." Dash did the exact same thing, except burping.
"I can eat anything I want, and I don't gain any weight!" Pinkie shouted after swallowing. Thank goodness.
"Yeah, high metabolism..." Vinyl rolled her eyes, or at least you think she did.
"Oh. Makes sense." Pinkie giggled and finished up her food, then Vinyl finished. Dash and you took a bit longer, but when you finally finished you all walked back to the college.
Pinkie and Dash went to the library to chat with Twilight, while Octavia went to cello practice down Maneroad. So, that left Vinyl and you to go back to your room. Vinyl jumped on the couch after you, and she placed her head in your lap.
"You don't mind this, do you?"
You gulped, "No, I don't mind."
"Then you won't mind this." Vinyl jumped up from your lap, tackling you and tipping the couch backwards. She looked down at you from her position over top of you. She held your arms down with her hands and wrapped her legs around yours, "Would you?"
Red Is Beautiful
"Vinyl..." You blushed red as she lowered herself from above you to onto you.
"Yes?"
"Whatcha doin'..."
"Having fun." Her hair bobbed as she moved her hand to her glasses. Is she gonna remove her glasses?!
Vinyl's glasses were set beside your head, but she kept her eyes closed. Her right eye barely opened, not revealing any colour. The eye opened completely, then her left, letting brilliant red orbs stare at you. She bit her lip and glared even more intensely, but it was still a soft look.
"Wow." Was all that could escape your lips, making Vinyl smile.
"You like them?"
"Duh. They're like glowing orbs of glowy-redness." You examined her eyes, focusing on every detail.
"Never heard that one before." She smiled, "So... I only show my eyes to people who I want to see my eyes... Because apparently people get scared of what I'm hiding under my glasses so I have to pin them down to show them."
Your phone rung right at that moment and Vinyl hissed, grabbing it from your pocket.
[13:00] Dash: Comin upstairs now
"Fuck you Dash." Vinyl threw the phone onto your bed and grabbed your hand, pulling you up, "For your information, your fly's down."
"Seriously..." You said, pulling up your zipper, "Get your glasses."
"Don't tell anyone my eye colour."
"Hm?"
"Don't tell anyone my eye colour..." She repeated.
"Why?"
"They'll think I'm a vampire." She rolled her eyes and grabbed her glasses, putting them on.
"I sense no sarcasm." You raised an eyebrow.
"Because I'm serious. Bye." She opened the door and came face-to-face with Dash.
"Hi Vinyl." Dash smiled and waved, even though their noses were touching. Vinyl grumbled something and went to her room, unlocking the door and walking inside. She then slammed it, loud.
"I am so tired." She walked over to the couch and picked up her controller, "I haven't been on here for so long."
"I'll be reading..." You said, pulling out Opposite Notes.
"Sup Dash?" Blossomforth's voice wasn't new to you anymore.
"Hi." Dash said, sighing at the end.
"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run-" Dylan stopped attempting to sing, "Hi Dash..."
"Oh Celestia not that song." Dash facepalmed as the game started.
"HEY DASH. I'LL BE YOUR MR.SAXOBEAT!" Dylan shouted overly loud.
"Where'd you get that from?" Dash almost dropped her controller as he said that, worried.
"YouTube."
"I'm going to find who filmed that and kill them." Dash had a kill streak, which worried you the tiniest bit.
"Well I certainly didn't film it then." He shot Dash, it was pure war.
"How do you know what school I go to?"
"GPS."
"Creep." Blossomforth and Dash said in sync, and you repeated them. You looked back at your book, finishing off the very end.
The night was young and so were we, so we spent the night cuddled up against each other. Taking in the warmth, taking in the love. Taking in the... Empty spot that I was beside. How I wished I took my chances and asked her, It's impossible to explain. That's when I woke up, not literally, from the dream that I thought my life had to be. Octavia was not real, just a figment of my imagination.
This book was so sappy.
"I. WIN." Dash slammed her foot down onto her laptop, ending the call and shutting down the computer. She was about to throw her controller, but set it down calmly, "How was the book?"
"Sappy."
"I hate those kinds of books-" You could see into her mind as she mentally facepalmed, "I hate sappy stuff."
"You do? Pretty sure things got 'sappy' with you and Pinkie last night. Did she return your bra?" You caused Dash to blush, it was adorable.
"Embrace the fact that I'm with her."
"No. I think you'd match someone else better." It was your turn to mentally facepalm, for the second time.
"Applejack?" Dash crossed her arms, lidding her eyes in an unamused way.
"No."
"Fluttershy?"
"No."
"...Twilight?!"
"No."
"RARITY?!"
"Not at all."
"Who?"
"I can't tell, I... Pinkie promised." You lied.
"Fine, you don't wanna break a Pinkie promise. What time is it?" Dash looked around for her iPod, "And where's my iPod?"
"2:00am, and it's somewhere on your nightstand." Yawning out of boredom, you picked up her iPod that was in plain sight. You jumped onto her bed and shouted, "Come get it!"
"You little-" She went onto her bed too, trying to snatch the electronic device.
Trying to jump to your bed, you grasped onto the iPod tightly. But as you hit your bed, your foot slipped on a blanket. You fell backwards onto the carpet, dropping the iPod. Dash snatched it up and unlocked it, checking a quick notification before shutting it off again.
"Thank you. And," She kneeled down to you and kissed your forehead, making it seem sweet, "Good night, iPod stealer."
You rubbed your head and got up, frowning at Dash, "I am going to kill you."
"Good luck with that."
"Or maybe I'll rape you."
"GET AWAY FROM ME." She dropped her iPod and went into a fighting position.
"You do karate?" You shifted closer to her dropped iPod.
"Yes, and I can hurt you. Badly." Her eyes followed you, and she kicked you when you grabbed her iPod again.
You opened the door and ran into the hallway, juggling the iPod between your two hands. Dash followed you down the hallway, all the way to 2Z and back.
"Give me my iPod, jerk!" She shouted, causing a few doors to open.
"What the hell is goin' on here, Dash?" AJ stepped out of her room with Rarity beside her, and was pushed back by you running in front of her. She hit Rarity and she toppled down like a tree.
"Rude." Rarity said while getting up, being knocked down again by Dash, "Rude!"
"AJ, you still have that lasso Big Mac gave you?" Dash continued chasing you while yelling over to AJ.
"Yup. Ah know what y'all gettin' at and will do." AJ retreated into her room, taking a minute or two. When she came out, she was holding a rope.
You looked back at AJ and gasped, as she started spinning it while aiming towards you. Continuing to run, you didn't care one bit. You were annoying Dash, which was fun. Before you knew it, you dropped the iPod and had a rope around your torso, being pulled towards AJ.
"No! Wait!" You struggled to escape the rope, watching Dash pick up her device and stick out her tongue. Your dorm's door shut and you heard it lock, still being pulled.
"Ah just caught me a loverboy."
Loverboy
"Let me go, AJ." You looked at her, bemused.
"No can do. Dash signaled me to do this and Ah am." She had her foot, which was in a worn out cowboy boot, on your chest. A sign of domination.
"But AJ!"
"No buts." Her serious look twisted upwards into a small smile, "No butts, either."
"Ha, ha. Very funny." You sarcastically said, struggling, "Now let me go."
"Ah can't and Ah won't. Put up with it, loverboy." The end of the rope was tied around her hand, pulling tighter as you moved.
"Stop calling me loverboy, I don't love anyone." This caused her to gag and lower her face to yours.
"Lyin' ain't respected in my head. Everyone can tell ya got a case of the shivers for Dash." She shook her head very slowly, "Except Dash herself... And Rarity."
Your cheeks turned crimson and you closed your eyes, preventing AJ's green circles from glaring, "No, I don't."
"Oh my Celestia ya lie a lot. Ah can spot a lie from a mile away, 'cause Ah don't lie."
"I'm going to eat your face." You whispered angrily while opening your eyes.
"Pardon?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I am going. To eat. Your face." You repeated, louder.
"Not before Ah eat yours." She growled.
"Now it's my turn to say pardon." AJ was right above you and you felt very awkward, as you've been in this position so far about four times.
"Nevermind." Her voice raised to a shout, "Dash, can Ah let 'em free?"
"Sure." Dash shouted back from her dorm.
AJ helped you up and unknotted the rope, letting you run around like a gazelle that was let out of captivity. But you weren't that graceful, as you fell down again.
"Get up." AJ stared at you as you helped yourself up.
"Applejack, darling. I am going to go on a date with Braeburn tonight, okay?" Rarity came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her, the usually styled hair of hers let down.
"Ah find it a bit awkward that ya datin' my cuz..."
Rarity's eyes were closed for some reason as she exited the bathroom, "Thank you for being honest, but we are taking it slow. Dinner is all I asked for."
"Okay, Rarity... Ya might wanna open ya eyes." AJ smirked as Rarity did so, shrieking.
"I know you 'lassoed' him, but was it completely necessary to bring him into the dorm when you knew I hopped in the shower?"
"Yup." AJ laughed while Rarity blushed at her long, flat and wet hair.
"Sorry for my... Hair... It is not naturally fabulous." Rarity held her towel up with one arm and touched her hair with the other.
"Don't say sorry, not everyone is as glamorous as you, even with their hair down." You smiled at her, making her grin along with you. She stopped grinning after a while.
"Thank you." She looked around, "But you should leave."
You nodded and opened the door, walking outside into the almost empty hallway. The only other person there was Bonbon, who was holding a clipboard while walking down the hallway. She looked at the rooms and checked something off each time, eventually looking up at you.
"Oh my..." She looked away from you, "Hi..."
"Hi Bonbon." Waving, you looked to where she was looking, "What's the matter?"
"I... Don't feel comfortable talking to you since you know that I like you..." She let her eyelids close over her light blue-gray coloured eyes.
"About that... Sorry..." You reached out to her and placed your arm on her shoulder.
She opened her eyes and looked at you, smiling. She opened her arms into a hug formation and you stepped forwards to hug her, "It's alright, I guess."
"Hey dude-" Dash opened her dorm's door and stopped midsentence, staring at you and Bonbon. Her gaze dropped to the ground and she slowly closed to door, retreating back into the room.
You tried to let go of Bonbon, but she wouldn't separate from you . She just hugged tighter and got closer, squishing up against you. Her small chest was actually squished against you, you could feel it.
"Bonbon?"
"Yes?"
"Can you let go?" You awkwardly smiled.
"Okay..." Her grip loosened and she looked at a room, checking the paper yet again.
Waving to Bonbon, you entered your dorm. Dash was on her bed, face-first into the pillow. She was under the covers, them covering up to her neck. She was being lifted up and down by her chest; breathing normally. Her phone was ringing, but she wasn't moving. The phone transferred to voicemail, and was being recorded out loud.
"Hiya Dashie, this is voicemail but I'm still blabbing on. Call me back when you can!" Pinkie hung up and the call saved.
"That's her hundredth voice message in twenty minutes." Dash mumbled, groaning.
"Seriously?" You laughed, amazed at Pinkie's annoying factor.
"I've been counting. I am completely serious." She turned herself onto her back, rolling her eyes.
"She's a bit clingy, isn't she?" You looked at Dash's phone which rang again. You ignored the message this time.
Dash popped up from lying down, "Exactly! This proves my theory."
"Huh?" You said while Dash wrote some stuff with her finger in the air, sticking out her tongue slightly, "What is happening?"
"Equals jealousy!" She shouted, jumping off her bed and out the door.
Your eyes lit up and you screamed with the power of one-hundred elephants, Jealousy!
Following Dash out the door, you twisted your head to see Bonbon still checking rooms for some reason. You ran down the hall and grabbed her shoulder, spinning her around. You looked her square in her eyes and smiled, expecting bricks to be shat if she said no. Why would she say no? I'm a hot motherfu- Okay, I could work on that...
"Bonbon... I have a question." She smiled and brightness overwhelmed her face.
"Y-yes?"
"Would you like to go out with me?"
Love Isn't Like That
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Bonbon dropped her clipboard and pen, clapping.
"Seeya tomorrow in class, then." You kissed her on the cheek as Dash came out of Pinkie's dorm, looking confused.
"Hey Dash, Bonbon and I are going out now!" Did I sound too fake? I sounded too fake. Dammit.
"Heh... G-good for you..." Dash scratched the back of her head, falsely smiling.
After letting go of Bonbon, you and Dash walked side-by-side to your dorm. Dash's phone was ringing and you could tell Dash didn't want it to be Pinkie. Instead it was someone named SB.
She held the phone to her ear, "Hello?"
"Hi Rainbow."
"Who is this...?" Dash sat down on the couch.
"Sweetie Belle. I have a question about someone..." Sweetie Belle, well, squeaked.
"Sure."
"There's this girl that has been botheri-" Sweetie Belle started, but some people started yelling at her in the background.
"Are ya callin' an adult about her?!" Applebloom was stomping her feet, loud.
"We told you not to, we're not snitches!" Scootaloo said next, and the phone hung up.
"Um..." Dash still had the phone to her ear, "The hell?"
"Don't ask me. I was just hanging out with my new girlfriend." You hid your smirk, watching her shift awkwardly.
"Good for you..."
"Is something wrong?" Your smirk resistance was lowering, and one corner of your mouth was deciding to go upwards.
"Nope. I'll just..." She looked around, "Write some stuff down..." In a journal, maybe?
As you thought, she grabbed her journal and a pen. She draped a blanket over herself, keeping it secret. You'd have to check what she wrote down later, if she would leave the dorm.
"Dash, come out from under there. You're too pretty to be tucked away." Did I just say that? FUUUUU.
"Erm..." She popped her head out from under the blanket, "You is pretty too?"
"Thanks?" You laughed, and she smiled before diving under the blanket again.
"So..." She trailed off, "What's up?"
"Not the blanket, for sure." You lightly gripped the cover and pulled up, poking your head underneath it.
"I'm gonna push you off the couch if you join me..." A groan escaped her lips, "And you joined me."
You booped her nose and let the blanket fall over you and Dash. She squished as far into the couch as she could, you and her fitting perfectly onto the cushions.
"Something's bothering you. Tell me." Not just jealousy.
"I'd prefer to keep it private." Her head turned as she slipped her journal under the cushion.
"Please?"
"Fine." She seemed to of shrunk, "I don't wanna tell you."
"You didn't have to sing-song and make me suffer!" You poked her, and since it was dark under the blanket you poked something soft.
"RAAPE!" She shouted, pushing you off the couch with the blanket wrapped around you.
"...Ow." You rolled yourself around, eventually getting out of the blanket.
Dash burst into laughter, falling off the couch herself. You took the blanket and covered Dash in it, smiling as she continued dying from laughter. She instantly stopped laughing, making you worry.
"Did you actually die of laughter?" You thought that over, "If you died then you wouldn't be able to answer..."
Reaching down to take off the blanket, Dash let out a giant roar and jumped up, pouncing onto you. The blanket that was still around her made you screech a bit since you thought she was dead.
"Rawr." She said quietly through the green blanket.
"Rawr means I love you in dinosaur." You said, smiling at her silliness.
"Well then, un-rawr." She sat up from lying on you, and you could see the outline of crossed arms.
"Ouch. You un-rawr me. That hurts, Dash. You'll have to be punished."
"Process what you just said and remove the blanket when you understand what I'm getting at." Right then, you flipped off the blanket, giving her a frown and a shake of the head. She smiled sheepishly and rolled off you. Lots of rolling today.
After what felt like a decade, Dash and you sat on the couch like normal people. You were watching TV, when Dash glanced over at you. Out of the corner of your eyes you saw this, but looked back at the TV to prevent any eye contact. After minute or so you turned your head, and she smiled. While melting inside because of her cuteness, you smiled back.
"So how'd you and Bonbon start dating? And when exactly?"
"I just asked her out when I started hugging her." Eye contact... Those eyes...
"It happened just like that? No meaning?" She cocked her head, and you did the same to keep eye contact. Well I'm stumped.
"Well, She had a crush on me so I asked her out to make her happy-" You were interrupted when Dash grabbed your arm softly.
"That isn't how love works, bro. Love isn't always happy."
"How?" You questioned, Dash still grasping your arm.
"If neither person in a relationship is happy; it definitely won't work out. If one person is happy; it's highly likely that it won't work out. But if both people are happy; something is going on with one of the people... Like Fluttershy and I."
"What happened with Fluttershy and you?" You read her journal and already knew, but you didn't wanna sound too creepy.
"We were too happy together, because Fluttershy was cheating on me."
"That sucks," You thought over something, "Aren't you and Pinkie both happy?"
Silence.
"Dash?" You looked at her as she let go of your arm.
"Yeah, we were happy." Dash looked at the carpet, and just glared at it.
"Were?"
"Remember when I did that finger in the air thingy and yelled out 'Equals jealousy!'?" She waited for a nod from you, "Well, Pinkie wanted me back but then used me to get someone else jealous. I hate people like that... I don't hate Pinkie, though."
There was a weird feeling in your stomach as you repeated Dash's words. I hate people like that...
"That's..." Your eyes sprung wide open, "You broke up with Pinkie when you ran out of the room after you yelled that?!"
"Yup. Why?"
"No reason..." Just that I'm using Bonbon to get you jealous because I didn't want you dating Pinkie, Dash. No reason at all.
The clock read 7:00pm and you were starving, so you dialed for pizza. They have a special service for delivering to the college, Los Pegasus College, for free. The delivery didn't cost extra, the pizza costs the same though. You and Dash played Chopsticks until the pizza came, and finished the game even after the pizza arrived. The delivery girl wasn't very happy about that...
"Are you guys done yet?" She tapped her foot, waiting at the open door.
"One second..." Dash stuck out her tongue, having one hand with four fingers up. You also had one hand, two fingers up. You started swearing in your head as she slapped your hand, "Four plus two equals six, you don't have six fingers! I win!"
"FUUUUU- Yes ma'am." You walked over to the dresser and plucked your wallet up, taking out a ten dollar bill and handing it to the woman. You took the pizza and set it on the couch, looking over at Dash. She looked back at you, smirking.
"Two out of three?" Staring at Dash's smirk made you smile.
"You bet." She opened the box and took a slice in her mouth, nomming away while playing the second game of Chopsticks.
Losing repeatedly, you kept calling for another match. Three out of five, four out of six, five out of seven. And in the end, only one thing was important... The pizza got cold.
Screwing Up
"Dash, I have something to ask you..." You looked into Dash's eyes, softly and like you were hurt.
"What is it?"
"Why'd you leave me? Why Dash?!" You placed the back of your hand to your forehead, "I bet that French guy stole your heart!"
"It's true. I wasn't thinking." She let a tear stream down her cheek, "Please take me back."
"No. I cannot let such a crime against me go unnoticed." Your hand settled off your forehead and you turned away rapidly, "I cannot trust you."
"But-"
"No buts. Bye Dash... I hope we can be friends." You took a step away from her, as another tear broke through her eye.
Clapping emerged through the class, except from the very bemused Bonbon who was eyeing Dash evilly. Ms. Cheerilee stepped forwards and smiled, "And scene."
Dash wiped the tears off her face and smiled with Ms. Cheerilee. She went to her desk and sat down, letting you chat with Cheerilee in private. If you counted being in front of the whole class 'private'. Cheerilee talked about your drama performance and honestly, you weren't listening.
"-And that is why you should take up acting."
"I was just doing it for the laughs, Cheerilee... Er... Ms. Cheerilee." Is she married?
"Comedy is also a form of acting, as you need to practice your jokes. Don't want to tell the joke wrong, am I correct?" She looked over the class, seeing everyone except Fluttershy talking.
"I guess..." You followed her gaze, "Can I go back to my seat now?"
Her hand pointed to your seat and she turned around, picking up a marker to write on the board. You planted your butt on your chair and looked up at the board.
"Anyone know how our beautiful world was created?" Cheerilee questioned the class, reading the words she wrote on the whiteboard. Twilight's hand shot up instantly, and when she was picked, she adjusted her glasses.
" Well... There were two regal sisters... Their subjects played in the day but shunned the night and slept through it, which made the younger sister grow bitter since she had to stay up all night, eventually refusing to due her duties to help the land. Her bitterness transformed her into a wicked princess of darkness, Nightmare Moon. The elder sister reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and 'banished her in the moon', taking responsibility for both of their jobs, maintaining harmony in this world." Twilight smiled and continued a bit, "So they created a special day for the youngest, Nightmare Night. The specific day was chosen because it was her birthday, and the eldest felt lonely. Eventually, the younger escaped the moon and got switched to the good side. These fabled characters have great, great, great granddaughters... Which were named after the characters. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna."
"That was a lot of words, Twiley." A dude whispered obnoxiously loud.
"I have learned to block out that nickname, thank you." She said in the same tone as the male.
"Anyways, Twilight is correct. Which leads us to our first miniature project of the year!" Cheerilee clapped her hands together on the word 'project', making many groan, "...At least I'm letting you choose your partners."
Dash sprung up and clung to your arm like sticky tack, smiling like a fool. Cheerilee also said something about being able to work alone, but you were too busy flicking Dash to notice fully. More people basically flew across the room to get to their partner before anyone else, but not Fluttershy or Twilight. They took notes on things that were written on the board.
"Let go of me, we've established the fact that we're partners." You relaxed as Dash loosened herself and fell back into her seat. Maybe having Dash as my partner will work out perfectly, since she's secretly smart.
"So since it's on the history of... Well... The sphere we live on," She pulled a piece of paper out of her strangely organized desk to draw a plan out, "I thought we could make a toy model for our visual part. An essay for the essay part, instead of pasting the facts onto our visual section."
You followed her pencil as she wrote and drew, making her overall plan seem easier than it actually was going to be. Being focused on her writing, you just nodded your head to every word she spoke.
"Are you gonna do it with a turtle?"
Nod.
Laughter.
Confused look from you.
"Oh my Celestia, you didn't hear a word I just said, did you?" She pushed herself off the ground, where she fell when you nodded your head. Did I just agree to something?
"I lost you at the end."
"Well, we could wire the inside of the model to hook up with outside lights, and when we press a button while pointing at the light it'll turn on... But that'll mean that we have the chance of messing up on our presentation..." She apparently repeated.
Your eyes opened and closed multiple times, "Why do you act like you're not smart?"
She shrunk, "I'm not smart, please don't bring it up."
"Is it something terribly bad?"
"Please." Dash whispered, looking at you with begging eyes.
"I'm your friend and I'll help you out in any way possible, feel free to tell me when you want to." Now Dash was the one who was nodding. The last period bell rang for some people, who had their free period at the end of the day. Today, this included you and Dash.
"I'll go to the store and buy our materials, maybe we can get it done early!" Her frown distorted into a smile, and she left a cloud of dust in her trail out the door. You got up and were quickly met by Bonbon.
"I was thinking that we could go out today? Coffee sounds nice." She pet her two-toned hair, fixing it.
"Project, sorry. Dash and I have to go study-" That's slang for dating, crap!
She crossed her arms, "What did you say?"
"Dash and I have to study the history of our land." There was an audible squeak when you smiled sheepishly.
"...Okay..." She walked out the door, coughing through the dust.
The cloud led all the way to your dorm, so you followed it. You didn't have a choice since it was the only way to Dash. The door was open a bit so you slipped in, where Dash was putting away her bag.
"Hey," She turned around at the sound of your voice, "School library to study?"
"You bet." A ponytail formed in her hair and she was by your side faster than you could object, not that you wanted to.
The door to the staircase was opened and you almost bumped into Octavia, who was looking worried. She awkwardly passed by and entered her room, flinching at the dubstep that arose. Dash shrugged and walked down the stairs, to the library ground. After jumping off the last step, she looked at the signs above the rows of shelves, heading towards the History shelves.
"Are you excited or something?"
"Kinda." Dash shouted, being loudly shushed by the librarian, "Sorry..."
"Well let's get studying!"
The scene that occurred next consisted of books being pulled out, pencils scratching against paper and books being placed back or thrown away. Dash threw them, you were civilized enough to put them back correctly and neatly. After about an hour of this, Dash yawned a yawn that sounded like Pikachu. You couldn't prevent yourself from smiling and being overcome with cuteness.
"D'aww..."
"You find my yawning cute? Well," She tapped the back of her head, "Cuteness and drugs effect the same part of your mind."
"Heh, what do you know. Guess you're a drug." Must say pickup line... "And I need to get my fix."
Two dolls appeared in your head, being held by stick-hands. Now... Kiss!
Your thoughts did anything but deceive you, and you pecked Dash on the lips... Thoughts, did not deceive. Instinct, did deceive.
"THE LIBRARY IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO 'STUDY', ISN'T IT?"
Dash twisted around and looked at the top of the staircase, where a fuming female stood. Dash's face turned the same colour, but as a blush... Not because of being enraged. The words that came out of your true crush and the girl you just kissed made Bonbon's eye twitch.
"Oh shit." Someone has to clean the fan, now...
Tick-Tock, Firebomb
"I'll be leaving now-"
"Oh no you won't, Rainbow Dash." Bonbon slid down the rail of the stairs, her eyes a bright red with fire. Envy, jealousy, "This calls for extreme measures..."
"PINKIE PIE STYLE!" Pinkie, why must you make me laugh?!
You burst out laughing, Bonbon whipping her head towards you as her feet hit the ground. Insane smile, check. One wide eye, check. One twitching eye, check. This was not going to end well.
"Bonbon, can we talk in private?" You stepped back, putting your hand into a bookshelf for your own little reasons. The girl who was slowly losing her sanity, letting it slip off the edge of a cliff. This is bad, really bad. Bonbon reached to one of the poles on the staircase, twisting it off and holding it in an aggressive manner after twirling it like a ninja, "Put down the pointy stick. Pointy stick is bad."
You stepped back, then she stepped forwards. This action kept repeating until your back squished against the many books, digging into your hoodie. The book you were holding fell to the ground because you moved away from Bonbon, but your reflexes from video games helped you... A lot. The book that just so happened to be about Medieval jousting flew forwards, Bonbon dodging and the book opening in midair. Just to prove that the pointy stick was indeed pointy, she twisted around and lunged towards the book. The peaked needle-shape penetrated through the spine of the book, with a wicked ripping noise. Her body rotated to investigate you, twitching repeatedly. She swung the medal rod at you, and another book you pulled out blocked it.
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" Dash shoved her fist into the air, shouting excitedly.
The book flew across the room, the front and back cover literally flapping in the air. It bashed into right pole, identical to Bonbon's weapon. Being barely screwed into it's compartment, the post tumbled to the carpet. You quickly grabbed another book and attempted to shatter Bonbon's metal bar/ weapon. It didn't, and couldn't, work anyway... But it definitely did another type of job which made your face light up. Bonbon accidentally let go of what you were trying to break, it making it's short trip to the ground. You slid under it and snatched up the pole you made detach, copying Bonbon's previous ninja pose. What you did next even amazed yourself, you pounced towards Bonbon as she tried to pick up her weapon... And she was pinned to the bookshelf. You pushed against the bar, into her chest, to apply pressure. It was in some movie you heard of. A book appeared in her hand, and as she was about to drive it into your skull, you released your grip on her. The book hit your arm and then the opposite-from-you bookshelf.
"Girls! Escape the library this instant!" Throwing the two metal bars across the room, the bookshelf fell backwards. It hit the bookshelf and it toppled like dominoes. The affect continued until there was one bookshelf left... You hopped out of the way in perfect timing, then twisted to look at the disaster.
Twilight heard the incident and was slowly rising from under the front desk, and she scanned the area. Her mouth dropped along with her glasses, which both smashed against the floor. The only books that were intact were the ones that were in shelves, not wooden shelves, but stone shelves inside the wall. Her sparkly, purple eyes examined around the room before fixating on you.
"What in the name of Celestia did you do?!" She sprung up from her knees onto her shoes, eyes still locked onto you.
"Fought an epic back of effing awesomeness, Twilight." You headed towards the door, since the library stairs to floor two got blocked off, "Never expect you to do that."
"Well I'd hate to resort to swearing, but this has been the shitiest day of my life." She whispered to herself, "SPIKE! WE HAVE SOME CLEANING TO DO!"
Back at the dorm, you entered through the door. Dash just got into the dorm too, and as soon as you and her met eyesight... Laughter. Then when you both finally shut up, a loving stare took place, "So..."
"So..." She repeated after you, "I guess I enjoyed that-"
"You enjoyed that kiss?!" You squealed.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." She smirked, "But nobody's asked me out yet..! Hint, hint."
"Dash, would you like to be my girlfriend?!"
"I don't know... I guess I'll have to check..."
"Shut up." You deadpanned.
"Okay..." Her bottom lip somehow popped out, making you... Somehow... Kiss her on the cheek. She smiled and clapped her hands together, "Now what?"
"I don't know..." The corners of your mouth went up majorly, just the corners, and you pushed Dash onto the bed, "I know now!"
Your fingers waggled as you grazed them over the bottom of Dash's feet, her kicking you and rolling off, "Just because we're dating doesn't give you permission to tickle-rape me."
"It isn't rape if you like it, Dashiepookinpiesweetiepuss." My brain tends to make my mouth sputter without actually thinking.
"That is the best name ever. I am changing my name to Dashiepookinpiesweetiepuss," She raised her fist to her mouth and coughed, "Mademoiselle Dashiepookinpiesweetiepuss LeGrande!"
"I think Lesbian Carwasher fits you better." BRAIN.
"Watch your back, as that little comment will come back and punch you in the nose." It was completely silent for a moment before she, out of the blue, snorted. Her eyes went wide and she clasped her two hands over her nose.
"Ha ha, you snorted." You pointed at Dash, her hands still held over her nose.
"Not funny!" Her raspy voice was nasally, because of her nose-clenching. She let go and slapped you, hard.
"How many times do you have to hit me?"
"As many times as I want. I do not snort, and I didn't snort." She forced, "You got it?!"
"Wow, You're aggressive." My brain actually worked that time.
"So what-"
"Volleyball practice in twenty minutes, for thou female volleyball-ers..." A very, very loud, sophisticated voice boomed through the announcements, "Tia', how shall we... I switch this contraption off?"
"The off button, Luna."
"Makes a decent amount of sense." The announcer, Vice Principal Luna, had her voice cut off at the end by herself accidentally pushing the button.
"Is it strange that, even though it's Winter already, that was the first time I've heard Vice Principal Luna?" You pointed out, whacking your head against the air to cause the ringing to escape.
"Nah, I think you heard her before on the announcements."
"I did?" Your brain, curse that brain of yours, scratched through memories.
"You didn't hear the one about the Hearth's Warming Dance?" She cocked her head, "Her and I are like close buddies and I knew about it earlier, though."
No, I did not hear that. In fact, I don't know if I'd go anyways since I don't have a date- Oh wait, yes I do. BRAIN, YOU SO CRAY-CRAY.
"I must've been out or something..." You looked at the wall-clock, "You should get ready for the practice."
After finishing the sentence, Dash ran into the closet... Pulled out a bag, threw the clothing across the room, ran across the room, undressed and then dressed in uniform, finally slinging the gym bag over her shoulder. She ran to the door and down the hallway, reaching for the library door to take the short-cut. As she did, a pile of books flew out and hit her. She threw them back in and slammed the door, with a few paper cuts.
"Twilight's smart, not fast at cleaning." You said as you stepped out of the dorm slowly.
"I should have seen the books piled against the glass walls, shouldn't I have?" She sighed and wiped a tear of blood off her finger.
"Yeah, but Twilight's at volleyball practice so she isn't cleaning." You looked into the library and a book disappeared, "Or is she cleaning?"
The book that was removed from the towering pile was replaced by an arm that was in a purple-gray sweater. A couple more books were removed and you saw a male that was too young to be in college with a green Mohawk. Dash squinted and jumped high, waving to the guy through the glass. She ran up and knocked on the glass, making the dude almost fall off the ladder he was climbing.
He quickly shimmied up the ladder to scold the glass-knocker, but had the same reaction to Dash as Dash had to him, "Hi Rainbow!"
"Sup Spike?"
"Nothing much, Twilight forced me to clean up this... Bookalanche... She has volleyball practice and ditched me." He rolled his eyes, "I think she's lying about the practice. She sucks at sports."
"She's not kidding, I'm on the team too and she's there." Dash squished her face against the glass.
"Don't do that, I'll have to clean it because if I don't Twilight will yell at me for not satisfying her OCD." Spike's hand held up a cloth.
"Does Twi hate you or something?" You butt in the conversation, being left out isn't quite your thing. Yes it is.
"No, she loves me." Spike shrugged.
"Yeah, dude. If Twi didn't love him, life would be hell." Dash crossed her arms and removed her face from the glass.
"Why?"
"Because sisters have to love you." Spike answered your question, Dash nodding along with his words.
"You don't look like her at all... Aren't siblings supposed to have the tiniest hint of resemblance?" Right?
"Adopted..." Dash smiled, "Pinkie, Spike and I have the same type of backstory... Except Pinkie was accepted by her first adoption parents after she was put up for adoption, Spike ran away from his..." Dash looked at Spike, who shrugged like he doesn't care.
"Tell him, I don't care." He said dryly.
"Spike ran way from his abusive family, was found and was put up for adoption. Twi always wanted a little brother, so she got him." She emphasized 'little', "Twi has an older brother who's married to the chemistry teacher, I think you knew about the big brother... But not the married thing. That's how Spike here, who's very smart for his Grade 11 age, got into this school as a helper."
"Did you tell him how you're hiding that you're smart-" Spike got scared when Dash punched the glass right where his face was, and slid down the ladder.
She spun around and walked to the end of the hall to walk down the stairs, after she did so, she disappeared from your sight.
"Heh. I knew I wasn't the only one that thought Dash was smart."
Hearths Warming Socks
Catching up to Dash in the hallway took a lot of effort for you since she just hit the library glass and ran off. When you did catch up, she was already in the gymnasium. With Soarin' oogling her perfectly toned butt.
"Okay Dash..." You panted and slouched forwards, "I'll be sitting over here."
Soarin' heard your voice and shook out of his trance, "How's life, bro?"
"Amazing, actually. Yours?"
"I get to watch girls in shorts that shouldn't even be qualified as shorts run around and smash a ball. What the hell do you think?" His eyes drifted to Dash's chest and you grew red.
"I have a piece of advice for you, Soarin'." You spoke a bit louder than you should've.
"Not now, I can feel Dash's gonna spike the ball. And when she does her chest literally bounces-" Magenta eyes locked with his, and the owner's mouth opened to talk.
"Continue, Soarin'. I would love to hear about how my spiking is so mesmerizing." Dash smiled as sweet as candy, and your heart swelled because of her talent to overhear things.
"I-Um... Your spiking is really.... Good."
"Good? Only good?" She slowly walked over to Soarin' and placed her hands on his shoulders, "I thought it was better."
He gulped, "Very good, now go spike some more..."
Dash rose to a tiptoe to whisper in Soarin's ear, "Go screw yourself."
You wiped a tear out of your eye as Soarin' was pushed onto the bench by Dash, who walked away with a special flair. Soarin' looked befuddled as he reached for his coffee.
"That'll teach you to not mess with my girlfriend." Spit take!
He blinked a couple of times then put down his coffee, "Okay girls, I want you to choose a side of the net to play on!"
They did so, making sure to be on the team on their friends. After a while of chatting, Soarin' threw the ball to Twilight. She clumsily caught it and stared at it.
"Rainbow?" She grinned.
"I swear you're doing this on purpose." Dash went behind Twilight and positioned her arms correctly for a serve, and let go as Twilight hit the ball.
The ball was bumped over by somebody, and Dash volleyed it back. The second time the volleyball came to Dash's side of the net, Twilight intercepted and bumped it over.
"This is fun!" She ignored that she had almost knocked over Dash and continued played.
The game went on for a while and you watched Dash the whole time. When the practice was over, you grabbed Dash and madly ran up the stairs. She was tripping over her own feet at first, then got used to the speed. You reached the top and slammed into Rarity, catching her as she was teetering around.
"Pardon me... I have so much luggage that I cannot seem to steady myself properly." Rarity pushed some diamond sunglasses up the bridge of her nose and you noticed she was wearing a skimpy bikini.
"Where are you going? The beach is covered in snow." Your face turned into a tomatoe as you averted your eyes from Rarity's major cleavage.
"I decided, since the cold is horrid, that I will use my Hearths Warming vacation on an actual vacation this year." She lifted up a bag and pulled a brochure out using her mouth, "Saddle Arabia."
"Wait a minute... You're skipping Hearths Warming?!" Dash ripped the brochure out of Rarity's mouth and read the cover before shaking her head.
"Indeed, Rainbow. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Uh, yeah! I'm getting one less gift now! How can you be so selfish?" Dash placed her hands on her hips with attitude.
"Fine," Rarity dropped all her bags and scurried into her room, coming out with a gift in her hands, "Here is your gift."
Dash pulled the bow apart and held the present out as if she was expecting an explosion. Her elbows bent and she looked in the present, and her face went dead. Her hand reached in and she pulled out a pair of socks, holding them up.
"Seriously?!" Dash glanced between Rarity and the gray wool socks.
"Hm. Seems so." The fashionista happily said.
Now, Dash was angry because they were socks, and most important, they were gray. The most dull colour ever. Dash unfolded them and threw one at Rarity, who's jaw dropped slightly as Dash's gift landed on her giant sun hat.
"It. Is. On." Every word made Rarity squint more, and she sprinted into her room to get socks. Dash followed her and greedily picked up the dirty socks while Rarity fussed over the clean, fresh ones.
The two girls were having a sock fight in the hallway, one of them in a bathing suit and the other in a small uniform. You chuckled as the females got socks in their hair, and Dash even got one down her shirt! Rarity really got mad when a sock that was drenched with a stench whacked her nose. She screamed and made Pinkie whip open her door wearing a long shirt and no pants.
"I was getting dressed, but a sock war seems so much funner-er-er!" And like a bullet, Pinkie collected all the socks on the ground. You blinked and saw that the hyperactive ball of fluff made a sock cannon out of socks.
"Look out! Here comes... Socky the sock cannon!" Pinkie pulled a string of socks tied together as she jumped up into a straddle. Next thing that happened was a little something called sock rain.
Note to self: Never joke about telling Pinkie to make a cannon.
Pinkie did a kart wheel over a sock pile and tackled Dash, who rolled Pinkie over into the stack. Rarity carefully plucked her socks up of the hallway floor and ran to her dorm, storing them all. She left the dirty ones in the hall and stepped around them while tilting her luggage back up off the ground.
Dash skipped over to Rarity with a fresh sock hanging out of her shirt. She stuck her hand into her shirt, bra, and helped herself to the last fling. Her finger was draped by a sock and her left hand pulled it back, aiming for your head. She let go and it slammed square into your face.
"Ew, the sock's warm." You recalled where the sock had come from.
"I am off to Saddle Arabia, farewell fellow sock-fighters who have to suffer the cold."
"Seeya later, Hearths Warming skipper." Dash pivoted on her heel.
"Oh my Celestia! She's skipping the most super fantastical awesome-filled holiday?!" Pinkie gasped an incredibly long gasp as Dash slowly nodded, "Her gift will have to go either wasted or she'll get it later!"
"Did you get my gift already?" Dash said as you swiped the dirty sock off her head.
"Yuppers! And your roommates!" Pinkie looked at her toenails, which were painted pink, "I should half-dress more often!"
"No!" You shouted, reaching out to the suggestion and trying to erase it from Pinkie's mind.
"Okie dokie loki, silly willy! This itty bitty, little wittle, twinkie Pinkie will be fully dressed from now on!" She hopped away into her room to get fully dressed as you looked at Dash.
"Do you have sock fights with your friends often?"
Six Gifts
"Only when I get socks."
"I would probably do the same thing..." There were only a few days until Hearths Warming, and you needed to buy six gifts, "Dash, I'm going to go somewhere. Don't follow me."
"Why?" She crossed her arms, "Are you seeing someone else?" I just need a gift for you, while having no idea what to get you...
"No, not at all! I'm just going to go get a few things from the mall with... Spike." First name that came into my mind, and a friend who's a guy would be a nice change.
"Fine, be back in a few hours though. I wanna show you something."
"Show it to me now, then. No need to wait for the mall to close and me to come back." After messing up Dash's hair even more than it was before, you planted a kiss on the bridge of her nose.
"It's special, and I have to prepare it. Go away." She combed her hair with her fingers, actually, attempted to.
The library staircase was half clean, and Spike was flicking books over the rail into a pike below. You opened the glass door and walked down the right side, Spike not knowing that you were shuffling down towards him.
"Hey Spike." Spike turned around rapidly, hitting a book and making them slide down to the right side. He facepalmed and that's when you noticed he was wearing purple gloves. As he removed his hand from his face, he sighed and looked at you.
"What do you want?"
"Do you have to buy any Hearths Warming presents? 'Cause I'm going to the mall and if you need to get something for Twilight, Dash, Rarity or anyone else then maybe you and I could chill." His green eyes widened and his pupils constricted, and a sweat broke out on his face.
"D-did you say..." His pupils continued constricting until he had none, then shattered and started beating as hot pink hearts, "Rarity?"
"Yeah, your point?" You flinched backwards as the hearts in his eyes broke to reveal a normal pupil, and he looked around nervously.
"What if I don't find anything that she'd like?! She would surely hate me...!"
"Rarity's on vacation anyways, she wouldn't mind not getting anything." You saw Spike relax, his shoulders loosening. He looked around, and after he shrugged, he nodded his head.
"Let's go-" Text from Pinkie.
[16:00] Pinkie Pie: Hiya! Are you doing anything today other than going to the mall?
How'd she...
"Pinkie Pie goes to this school? Any clue how she got here?" Spike pointed to your phone, which you were typing on while talking.
"Yeah, and no. I think she probably got here for throwing a party."
[16:02] You: No, y u ask?
[16:02] Pinkie Pie: Bcause if u were free then u can help me get Dashie a Hearths Warming present.
[16:02] You: Sry Pinks, I'm a bit busy.
[16:03] It's okie.
"True that. Twilight wants this book series, and I can't find it online. So, looks like I'll be coming with you." Spike threw a book into the pile on the floor and walked with you down to the library doors. He was only slightly smaller than Dash, tall for his age.
"A book series? That's so nerdy."
"That's so Twilight." He lightly murmured, as if Twilight was around to hear.
The walk to the mall was cold as hell, both of you guys shivering and shaking wildly. When you entered the mall, a burst of warmth hit you like... A burst of hot air... So, Dash likes athletics... Something to do with athletics shall be her gift. I hope.
Spike walked straight into a book store and was reading the cover page of books, not finding the series. For a while. You did the same, finding a nice novel for Twilight. Spike placed a giant gold and silver book on the counter, labeled 'Secretive'. You slid the gift you got her beside Spike's gift, the book not even reaching three quarters of the other one. After they were finally bought, you looked at the many, many, many shops. One down, five to go.
"If Pinkie, Dash, Rarity and Twilight go here... Do AJ and Fluttershy too?"
"Mhm." Your eyes looked up from the tiled mall ground, and you read the name of a clothing store. Western 49. I know what I'm getting from there...
As you passed through the arch into the store, Spike looked at you and laughed. He knew exactly what you were getting for Applejack. You turned to your left, eyes widening at the whole wall of cowboy hats... So many to choose from. Running up to the hats like they were candy and you were a kid, you saw the top row had the darkest brown ones. There was one that had an orange band stitched onto the outside, and was perfect for AJ. Your arm shot up and your toes stood on the very tip. The hat loosened from the peg and dropped down onto Spike's head. You laughed as you snatched it up and brought it to the counter. My budget, it's good to set a budget, was 500 dollars. I spent 30 dollars so far. I'm doing dandy.
"Would you like to pay cash or credit?" A toothpaste-haired, third-person speaking girl questioned. Trixie looked you up and down, rolling her eyes.
"Cash." You gave her a twenty dollar bill and spun on your heel, putting the twenty dollar hat into the bag with the ten dollar book. Two out of six. What should I get for Rarity... Dress.
Spike beamed when you told him you were going to get Rarity's gift now. You knew the mall well enough, and the store that Rarity loved was across from Western 49. It was pack-full of males shopping for their girlfriends, friends or even mothers. Then, right there at the back of the store... You could just imagine Rarity wearing it...
You attempted to fold the gown, but it was too puffy. So, you tossed it to the cashier to let him scan it and such. The price was low for a dress that quality, but still a lot of money for people who only brought two-hundred dollars. Because that was the exact price. Spike got her a necklace with a heart-shaped ruby at the end, overdoing it for you. There was two more presents you needed to buy, Dash would have to wait since you didn't know what to get her.
[17:00] Dash: Ur surprise... Is complete!
You quickly texted back with a simple 'yay', and looked around when an adorable animal was caught in your sights, squishing it's whiskered nose against the glass that it was in. Before your brain could work, your legs started towards the pet store. The feline wobbled around and fell over, it's eyes derping up. You ditched Spike for the kitty, you realized as you whipped out your money as fast as a cheetah. The cat looked through it's cage at you, it's eyes wide with cuteness. After some discussion with the animal caretaker, the cat was yours. Well, your gift that will be someone else's.
"So, the Tabby female?"
"Yes please." Your eyes drifted to the kitten that was laying on a blanket in the corner of the room.
"That'll be two-hundred seventy dollars."
"That's all the money I have left... Whatever." You handed him the dough and carefully grasped the cat in a way she wouldn't be mad at. Her fluffiness made you want to keep her for yourself, but she was Fluttershy's as soon as you could give it to her. I'll go enough over my budget for Dash and Pinkie.
Spike took the kitten away from you as you bought what would be considered a nice gift by Pinkie, balloons coloured magenta. The air around you smelled like an angry Dash, in your imagination... So you ran out of there like hell and back to the college. You were scared, since Spike almost dropped cat twice. I sure hope cat is alright. I also hope Fluttershy can name cat properly... I should stop calling her 'cat'.
"Dude! I'm gonna drop the cat if you keep this running up!" He shouted at you, you were quite far ahead from him. You didn't slow down, just splashed through bushes to get the that one room with Dash in there.
Eventually, you stopped sprinting to take a breath right outside the door of the sacred room with Dash in it. Your finger pressed against the door and it flung open, you falling forwards right by Dash's feet. Another pair of feet, technically claws, came into view. And they leaped off the ground to snuggle Dash.
"Who's this?" Dash laughed, pushing the young cat away from her leg.
"Fluttershy's gift."
"Anything for me?!"
"No, sorry."
"Damn." Her arms crossed as her head jerked towards a monstrosity of a present sitting on the couch. She closed the door as you galloped over to it, pulling the ribbon on the top.
Another box. Cat jumped from your bed to Dash's repeatedly, as if on a sugar high. You unknotted the next box's rope. Box. You angrily turned your head to see Dash, who was smiling. Lifting off the lid of the medium-sized box, you saw something shiny.
Shiny box. The tape that secured the lid to the actual box was ripping off and you chucked the top at Dash, who swiftly dodged. This time, there was a sphere. You slapped your face and tore the wrapping off, then opening the hollow sphere. ANOTHER. FREAKING. BOX.
Cat trotted over to you and bit the small-ish box, drooling all over it. She clawed away half of the box and ran away, nomming on her prize. Guess what was inside. A pyramid, "Really Dash?!"
"Just finish opening that one." You did so, picking up a velvet box with a hinge on the back. As you carefully opened it, a cream pillow was underneath a wonderful gift. Cushioning the gift, "I should've let you open it at Hearths Warming..."
She snatched the little case that was holding that magnificent present... Making you huff and cross your arms, "Fine."
"What did you get the girls?" Dash's line of sight shifted to the shopping bag with balloons next to it.
"For Twilight I got a book, Applejack a hat... Rarity a dress, Pinkie some balloons and Flutters this cat. I named her cat for now." You pet cat's head, scratching behind her ears.
"Why didn't you get anything for me?"
"I didn't know what you'd like... I mean, you could change your mind at any moment."
"All girls change their mind, idiot."
Can't We Skip Right To Break?
You looked over to Dash's bed, which had a curled up girl in it. The urge to not wake her, and let her sleep peacefully, filled you until you looked at the alarm. It was ringing continuously, but you didn't want to go to any classes. You eventually found your way out of the bed, tapping Dash to wake up. She didn't wake up even after you slapped her, so you shook your head and went to get dressed.
"I'm awake!" Dash shot upwards, "Ah-huh... Eh?"
"What are you, Canadian?"
She rolled her eyes, "We have classes, don't we..."
"Indeed." You cocked your head to the clock, "Get dressed."
Her body moved as fast as lightning, and she was dressed before you knew it. Her arm went up to her forehead and formed a salute, which made you chuckle. She held it for a few seconds before walking to the door and exiting, followed by you.
The two of you quietly walked down the hall, you even sneakily peeked at Dash to find her twisting the loose string on her worn down bracelet. Someone was heading the opposite direction of you, so you side-stepped to the right. Dash was still wrapping the thread around her finger, and crashed straight into the guy.
"Watch where you're going, fa-" He looked down at Dash, smiling, "Hey Dashie."
"Hi Thunderlane..."
"Never thought I'd see you here... Y'know... At a college." His arms crossed, and you could feel the attitude.
"Shut up. I want nothing to do with you." Her hands grasped a math book and a couple science books, stuffing them into her school bag.
"I want something to do with you, maybe some small talk. How's your sister? After a couple of years she gotta be alright." He picked up Dash's school bag and helped her up, giving her the bag. Well, attempted to help her up. She was frozen.
"I... She's-" She scooped her bag from his hands and ran down the hall, down the stairs and probably straight to the classroom.
Thunderlane looked at you, raising an eyebrow, "What was that?"
"She doesn't have a sister."
"Yeah, she does. I know that from when I used to go to her house to... Play..." He smirked, which made you barf a little.
"Okay, Dash did have a sister. She's dead, though. Okay? Okay." You did the same thing as Dash did, but without crying.
The class smelled of cake batter and sprinkles, and you sniffed it all in. At the front of the class, there was a slightly plump woman. Her hair was styled like magenta icing on a cupcake, all while wearing a tacky apron. You sat down at the desk and knew that this was all for cooking. There was an extra desk in the back completely covered in cooking supplies. After a minute, the bell rang and the late people flooded in.
"Hello everybody! My name is Cup Cake, but please call me Mrs. Cake! This is home ec, and we will be cooking." She swiped a bowl from her right to in front of her, "I'm going to need all the ingredients if I want to show an example. Pinkie, the blue icing please."
Pinkie's poofy hair, then her face, slowly rose up. Her mouth was stained blue, "What blue icing?"
"Pinkie..." Mrs. Cake groaned, "What have your father and I told you about inhaling the baking materials?"
"What baking materials?"
"Pinkie..!"
"Who's Pinkie?" She put her blue hand to her blue chin, "Oh, that's me!"
Mrs. Cake turned back to the class, "Sorry for the inconvenience... But without the icing we can't do anything worth eating. So, I consider this a study hall period."
Groan from the right, groan from the left, groan from everywhere else. You pulled out your phone and check for messages. None. But, you decided to start a conversation with someone.
[8:50] You: Hey Twi.
[8:50] Twilight: What are you doing texting in class?!
[8:50] You: Calm, Twilight. It's now a study hall period. Everyone's texting at this point.
[8:51] Twilight: I'm not...
[8:51] You: Yes, u r.
[Blocked]
Thanks, Twi. Love you too. Guess I'll text someone else.
[8:52] You: How's your vacation so far, Rares?
[8:52] Rarity: How did you get my phone number.
[8:52] Rarity: That is a statement, not a question. Answer anyways.
[8:52] You: Pretty sure you gave it to me... Whatever. About the vacation?
[8:52] Rarity: I am still on the plane. Leave me alone.
[8:53] You: But Rarity, I wanna chat!
[Blocked]
You angrily stuffed your phone back into your pocket, resting your left ear on your desk. Dash was sleeping, with a note on her head. The note was stuck to the yellow part of her multi-coloured hair, and was in your general direction. The words were scratched on by, probably, a chicken. You couldn't even read it.
To your other side, there were people texting. No one to text for you though. Friday was going to be the last day until the break, and the wait was unbearable. Your eyes shut and you fell asleep like Dash did, dreaming nothing worth a story.
Bell. Furious, yelling bell. That's what the period bell was doing, shouting at you to get up. Lifted eyelids revealed Dash being there, awake. The red note was ripped up into minute pieces, scattered around Dash's desk. Her face was the same colour as the note, like it said something embarrassing or flattering. Yet again, Dash wasn't happy... Embarrassing note.
"Dash." Poke.
"Dash." Poke.
"What do you want?" She whispered, still looking forwards.
"What did the note say?" Poke.
"...Nothing of your concern..."
"Tell me." Po- Enough with the poking.
"No."
"Tell me." You commanded, in a deeper voice.
"...No."
"Tell me!" Shouting that didn't help, and people looked at you two. Dash glared at you evilly, hissing, "Sorry... Tell me."
"I'll tell you in the dorm after classes, alright?" Victory!
"Heh. I won." You went to hug Dash, but retreated a couple times before giving up since she was staying as solid as a brick. Just sitting there, being a brick.
Time passed so slowly for that class, and the next. Even the next, all the way until lunch. Then Dash would tell you about the note that you were a bit scared about. Just a bit. Maybe a little more than a bit. After all the waiting, the lunch bell finally rang and you turned to Dash, who sighed.
"The dorm." She groaned, getting out of her chair and the door. I'm frightened about that note. What would've got her so upset?
You made your way to the room, shutting the door and expecting Dash to tell you something terrible like she only has twenty-four hours to live. And specifically that she was told that she has twenty-four hours to live...
"So..?" You impatiently said, looking at the back of Dash's head.
"Thunderlane wants to get back together, and I just don't know what to do..." Bracelet, though.
"He'll just keep bringing up my family, plus, I like you." She rolled around on the couch to look dead in your eyes, "I'd hate to see him upset too."
"Deny it and tell him you're sorry, that you're with me."
"Guess what he'd do then? Attack you and beat you to a pulp." She snuffled, "He's aggressive."
"He'll beat me up? I don't think so." Your look told Dash something: way too much confidence. Dash had that factor, but she worked it.
"Yeah, I think so." Her eyes rotated adorably.
"Hey. That's not nice."
"Deal with it." She pulled pure black glasses out of from under the couch and put them on, "I'm so frustrated I can't work these right now! Anyone can work glasses! Anyone."
Hearths Warming
"The fire of friendship lives in our hearts, as long as it burns we cannot drift apart!"
"Pinkie, you've sang that line about ten times. We all know you're excited about opening your presents, but stop singing." You sat down on a chair in the clean library, attempting to get Pinkie to shut up.
"Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few! Laughter and singing will see us through!" Pinkie hopped around, so quickly that she was teleporting in your eyes.
"Anyone have duct tape?" Dash rubbed her temples in frustration, "If so, give it to me..."
"Ah have some in my dorm, if ya wanna walk all the way up the library stairs." AJ stared at the Hearths Warming tree, which had nothing underneath it.
It was Hearths Warming, and everyone that you met that was a best friend was there in the library. Except Rarity, who was still on the plane, apparently. AJ and Dash were waiting for Twilight to arrive with all the presents, Spike was taking a nap and snoring loudly. Pinkie was singing, or shouting, the Heart Carol; the song of Hearths Warming. Fluttershy was tending to the tree, watering it and making sure the ornaments didn't, as she put it, 'hurt the tree'.
"Um... Can someone possibly help me? The tree's ornaments are tilting the tree and... EEP." Fluttershy flung herself over to you, as a decoration hit the ground and shattered.
"I'm here! I have the gifts, too!" Twi pushed in a couple of presents, then even more. She finally got them to the tree and frowned, "Who misplaced the red sphere that was right here?"
"S-sorry Twilight... I didn't mean to..."
"It's fine Fluttershy, just don't break any others..." Twilight looked at the clock, "One hour until it's officially Hearths Warming!"
"YES!" Dash went over to the gifts and counted hers, cheering at the amount.
"Not now, Rainbow. You have to wait until Hearths Warming." Twilight reminded Dash of the official date, "I'm going to go to the airport, don't open anything."
"Why are you going to the airport?" You asked, expecting her relatives to be coming or something.
"Rarity's flight was turned back around, there's a major blizzard outside and the plane can't get to Saddle Arabia. She texted me and asked to be picked up, and that she's freezing and wet in nothing but a slutty bathing suit outside the airport lobby."
"Okay then." You replied, looking over to AJ. She was staring at the present you got her, which was 'inconspicuously' wrapped in the shape of a hat.
Pinkie was still lollygagging about, and got into a poke-fight with Dash. Fluttershy sat down beside you, and you tried to small-talk, "How about that blizzard?"
"It's... Nice..."
"Really? I don't think it's nice. It's terrible."
"Y-yes..." She turned away and stood up, skittering away. She sat beside Spike and slowly woke him up, for some reason being more able to talk with him than you. Having no one to talk to except AJ, you walked over to the presents to chat. Lots of talking today.
"Watcha doin' AJ?"
"Ah'm lookin' at the gifts. They seem pretty plentiful if ya ask me." She nodded towards the hat, "And that hat will be my favourite."
"How do you know it's a hat?"
"How couldn't Ah know that it's a hat? It's shaped like one and everythin'." She rolled her eyes, "Just hope it ain't somethin' fancy."
"It isn't, believe me." You smiled as you peeked over at Dash and Pinkie, who were now wrestling. That escalated quickly.
A few minutes later, Twilight arrived back at the library door with a soaked Rarity. Rarity was shivering and had her hair flattened completely, dripping from the snow that hit the purple mess and liquefied. She pulled a present out of her luggage and threw it to the tree before waddling up the stairs to her dorm to change, and probably shower then fix her hair.
"That didn't take long, did it?" Twi was also rained on, but was only damp. She pulled off her glasses and wiped them clean, "I guess we can open the gifts early... I'll go first!"
She dived into the stash, pulling out a purple box. It was your present to her, and she ripped it apart like a werewolf. She grinned and pulled out a book, starting to read it. In the middle of the stash. Out loud. Ugh...
"Me next!" Dash kicked Pinkie out of the way, and plucked up a rainbow-decorated cylinder. She carefully tore the edges and made the paper into strips, then opened the plastic, "What the hell, Pinkie?"
"Giant bottle of silly string! Isn't it amazing?!" Pinkie giggled and rolled around on the floor, crashing into a tiny pyramid of pink stuff.
"Sure?" Dash picked up another one and opened it, this time it was from AJ. She slowly turned her head to AJ and huffed out bemused air, "Why would you get me a parachute?"
"There's more, RD." AJ stood up from her sitting position, walking to open one of her presents.
"How did you afford this?! You bought me a pass to skydive!" Dash gasped, "Did you rob a bank?"
"Oh shut up, Ah have money." AJ put her gift on her head, since she already unwrapped it, "Thanks, this'll come in handy. Ah guess."
Pinkie crashed into her presents, so already opened them all. They consisted of something to do with a party, either confetti packets or games. She put everything into that hidden pocket that was in the jacket she was wearing when you first met her, and hopped onto the balloons you got her. They didn't pop, they floated up. Everyone stared at her, confused, as she floated around the library.
"Um... Is it okay if I go next?" Fluttershy removed herself from sharing thoughts with Spike, and softly poked a yellow cage that had a light pink blanket over it. The cage rattled and Fluttershy stepped back a bit, then went to open it again. She revealed the cage and gasped in adorableness, then opened it and pulled out the cat. They snuggled each other tightly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome Flutters." You heard a creaking from the staircase and turned your head, watching as Rarity stepped down from the stairs. Her hair was fresh and fabulous, like usual, and she was dry.
"This gift sure is a giant, did you spend over your budget?" Rarity said to you as she opened your gift to her, then gazed over it with sparkling eyes, "It is beautiful! Many thanks to you for the gown!"
After a hour of exchanging gifts and laughing, Pinkie stopped flying on her balloons you got her and went to the indoor park to set up the Hearths Warming dance. Of course Pinkie's setting it up.
The rest of you stayed in the library to continue giggling and such. Twilight was covered in ripped wrapping paper, completely covered, as a prank from Dash. Twi didn't notice is since her nose was buried so deep into the book, thinking she would since it was touching her skin. AJ was playing with Fluttershy's cat, putting her hat on the cat and running away to see if the cat could find her, along with Fluttershy. Dash was chilling out on a library table, just laying there and not caring that she's on a table. Spike was getting thanked by Rarity for the divine ruby heart necklace, then engaged in some attempted chat... Which didn't go well considering Spike was spaced out by just looking at Rarity's lady-like face, and other features.
You sauntered over to the tabby cat, watching the two girls play with her. Waiting for Fluttershy to be done her part of the game they're playing, you were going to ask her something about her cat. You waited until she was finally done, and the cat made a break for AJ.
"What did you name the cat?" You laughed as AJ stumbled away from the attacking tabby.
"Marceline. Marcie for short." Fluttershy also giggled a bit at the kitty, "Thank you again for Marcie. I just hope she gets along with Angel bunny..."
"Marcie's very sweet, I think she will." Marcie then grabbed AJ's hat in her tiny mouth and ambled over to Fluttershy, giving her the hat. You walked away from their playing and layed beside Dash.
Her two hands were underneath her head, and she was relaxing like there was no tomorrow. That would've been funny if it was the 20th, but it's not, it's the 25th. The next thing you saw was Dash standing beside the door because she said she got a text from Pinkie saying everyone could come to the indoor park and help finish the decorations. So, being bored as hell, you and everyone else had a race to the park.
"Ready..." AJ started.
"SET GO!" Dash shouted, loudly and quickly. She darted down the hall, beside AJ. You ran too, but didn't try as much as them. Fluttershy was way behind with Spike and Rarity.
Dash and AJ reached the line first, then you. Spike was next and after him was Fluttershy. Rarity paused to fix her hair, therefore losing her fourth place. The park was all glittery with fake snow and cotton balls, sparkles everywhere. The balloons were white and shiny, everything looked like a winter wonderland. Even the stage was white instead of silver like metal.
"Wow Pinkie, what do you need help with? It looks like it's already complete!" You looked around, and stopped when you saw Pinkie attempting to put her hair in a high ponytail. She did it a couple of times then bounced away to have the elastic snap because of her hair's natural poofiness.
"It is complete! I wanted to show it to you guys! Isn't sparkly-warkly?!" Pinkie's smile gleamed bright.
"Yeah, it is-" Dash's head looked up to see if there was any sparkles on the ceiling. There was none, it looked plain and normal there.
"SO FABULOUS!" Rarity took in a big gulp of air before zipping around naming types of fabric Pinkie used to decorate the stage and the tables. She was just as happy as she was when you gave her the dress for Hearths Warming, the glint in her eyes the exact same.
Pinkie giggled at Rarity's amazement, "You all go get fancied up for such a fancy-wancy occasion!"
You shrugged and walked to your dorm on level two along with Dash, getting dressed in the tuxedo you were given a while ago; the beginning of the year. Dash also got into something dressy, a cyan strapless dress that had a bronze rim along the top, making an 'x' across her chest and then ending in a belt around her waist. The front of the dress was shorter than the back, making it more than just a regular medium-length dress. She had shiny high-heels that started with red at the toe box, going through the rainbow cycle once, and ending in violet. Her sunglasses were the same, but with two rainbow cycles starting at the bridge and black lenses. Her hair was swept to her left shoulder in a loose golden elastic, making her look complete.
You hooked her arm and walked out of the dorm, smiling. The rest of the girls came out next, all looking absolutely stunning. Pinkie was clothed in a dress that was slightly darker than her hair, with a oil black belt along her waist tied in a giant bow. Above the belt had a pattern, the dark magenta with some black splotches. Everything else on the dress was poofy and... Pinkie-like. Her high-heels were the same colour of the dress, what you can't forget that she was holding a balloon that matched her hair... Which was down because it seems she couldn't get that ponytail in.
Applejack's hair was down, amazingly. She was actually wearing a little something fancy, in her point of view. It was a green knee-length, high-necked cowboy-ish thing with three red apples imprinted onto the bottom left. With a brown leather belt where everyone else's belt was so far. She was wearing her hat, with was the same shade of brown as her heavy boots. Classy.
Who's hair was wavy and straight down for once, Rarity was wearing the dress you got her, and you knew what that looked like before so didn't look at her for too long. Fluttershy, on the other hand, you stared at for a long time. Her gown was the longest of them all, and flowed wonderfully. It was a soft yellow, with a green vine along the right side of her right breast. Also on the right side, but the bottom of the dress, were three pink butterflies. Her feet were covered in pink, glossy sandals that were the same shade of her hair. Oh, her hair! It was in an updo, two strands of her bangs falling forwards to frame her pale yet beautiful face.
Twilight was way down in the hallway, and you couldn't see her dress. So you and the five girls descended down the stairs, into the park. Twi took a few minutes or so to get into the near empty globe, but when she did she smiled. Her glasses were off, letting her purple eyes free to the world. What she was wearing was plain, like her. It was a dark purple short dress that had straps that tied in the back. On the waist was a pin that had a magenta six-legged star with five white stars surrounding it. Her shoes were also plain, if plain is magenta sparkles.
Your head turned downwards to look at your watch, and then you asked Pinkie what time the dance was supposed to start, and she did a cartwheel towards the door.
"RIGHT NOW!" She swung the door open, and all that came inside to the dance was a tumbleweed. She coughed while shutting the door, then twisted the doorknob again to open the door. A mob instantly appeared and flooded the party, Vinyl vanishing then materializing behind the turntable.
"What is this sorcery?" Dash asked, looking around skeptically.
"No clue." Your eyes met with the non-alcoholic drink table, same as the first party Pinkie threw, "Shall I get you a drink?"
"Sure, Mountain Dew."
"Mkay." You casually walked to the table, picking up a bottle for Dash. Twilight was also getting a drink, but was being social. People were complementing her eyes and how they glimmered, so she decided to smile while chatting. By Celestia it's a miracle, Twilight Sparkle is socializing.
You started to turn to walk back to Dash, but saw that she was talking to Thunderlane and stopped dead in your tracks. You were close enough to hear their conversation, so listened closely. Please don't be about me, please don't be about me...
"What was with you in the hall?" Thunderlane asked Dash, twirling a piece of her hair between his fingers.
"I was mad at something you said, now stop twirling my hair or I'll punch you."
"Ooh Dashie's violent-" He opened his mouth to talk but was interrupted by a fist to his mouth, "Ow... That kinda hurt..."
Dash strode towards you, her chin higher than usual. She grabbed the bottle from you and leaned against the table, taking a chug of the Dew, "Sup?"
"Nothin' much, you?"
"I just punched a dick in the face, I'm doing fine." She took another swig out of her bottle.
"Cool." You laughed while staring at Dash, "You're beautiful..."
"Thanks- Hold that thought..." Dash dropped her bottle and ran to a pale girl with an updo, spinning her around and looking worried, "Girl, you don't wanna drink that."
"Drink what? Thish ish not a bottle of vodka in my hand and you can't prove it. I have no clue what you blabblin' on about. Now go away before I shmash you with my bottle of vodka." She slurred, tilting side to side.
"Go home, Fluttershy, you're drunk." Dash commented, looking over to you and signaling you to come over. You did so, trailing yourself straight to the two girls. You started questioning Fluttershy and Dash, wondering what the problem was. Dash's pupils dilated and she looked as if she faded into a flashback, "Shitshitshitshit!"
"What's going on?!" You asked, Dash completely ignoring you.
"Ya, what'sh goin' on?"
"Flutters, I'll get you someone to take you to your dorm. Preferably not male." Dash twisted around, and you went with her. She turned back to face Fluttershy and tell her something, but gasped, "Where did she go?"
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" You screamed, making Dash answer in a simple equation.
"Fluttershy plus drunk equals trouble." That's when your eyes widened as you remembered Pinkie's first party. The great Fluttershy scandal of the police station...
You and Dash ran out the door of the globe, looking around for any signs of puke, or anything else Fluttershy might've caused. Dash decided that she'd check the classes part of the school, and told you to search around every open dorm and hallway.
The hallways were dark and gloomy since the principal shut them off, to save power and whatnot. You squinted, but to no avail. You listened closely for any signs of the drunken lady, but nothing. After a while of walking around, you found the staircase and clumsily climbed up it, finding that it was even darker on the second floor. You gulped and hoped there were no rapists or murders slipping into the shadows as you stepped into the hallway.
In Dash's area, it was pitch black like the second floor. She lost herself and started using her senses like she was attempting to heighten them. Everything was going badly, and she stumbled over air constantly. Her hands were hurt from slamming them against the floor to save her chest and face, and her feet ached from walking. She eventually found the door to the main hall and gave up, sliding down against the wall and praying that her friend wasn't in the streets being hurt, or in jail being questioned.
You, on the other hand, weren't tripping like no tomorrow. You didn't give up at that point, you were just plain confused and lost. Everywhere you looking had black, pitch... Ugly and moody black. The only light source was from a window, which showcased a blinding snowstorm with freezing weather. You surrendered, and told your brain to walk to the window. The night was beautiful if you could imagine it without the horrifying weather, like you could. You admired the light outside, the streetlights, and how they made that light pink-haired girl on the sidewalk stick out. OH GOD BRAIN I LOVE YOU FOR NOTICING THAT.
Looking around was no use, you stared at Fluttershy sitting limply outside through the window. You growled at your instinct, but it eventually came over you. The window slid up, letting the cold wind inside. Then you did something you never thought you would ever do in the name of parkour. You jumped out. Just like that, you jumped out and landed in a dumpster. Landed in a dumpster of fish and trash bags full of fish. You lazily crawled out and slipped on ice, giving yourself a major pain on your back. The first streetlight was your first destination, and you trekked to it through the snow. Next goal, across the deserted winter street to the... Drunk... Girl... You facepalmed as you saw some new footprints from where she was lead into the alley, and ran across the street. Stupid drunks.
Dash never thought she would be crying, but she was silently sobbing for Fluttershy. Her head was buried deep into her hands, when she snorted in the tears and angrily stood up, walking to the doors and bashing them open with her left heel. Well, the door bashed open her heel on her shoe so she took the shoes off and threw them away before trying again, stomping outside and through the snow. She saw some footprints, and then you. Her feet were freezing, literally, but she kept running towards you. Her hair was soaked. Her clothing was soaked. Her skin was soaked. Everything was soaked.
"Dash?! Come here!" You waved the shaking girl over to you, and hugged her tight in attempt to provide warmth to her.
"F-freezing..." She stuttered, her jaw chattering like a wind-up teeth toy.
You guided her into the alleyway and looked for Fluttershy, and there she was. Curled up beside a dumpster. You sighed and threw Dash into the giant trash can, "What the hell?!"
Then you threw in Fluttershy. You then jumped in and closed the lid, trying to ignore the fact that you were sitting in rotten fish. The drunk passed out beside the dumpster, and provided no warmth to you or Dash. So you guys cuddled together in a shivering, wet cuddle of sadness. Dash uttered something you couldn't hear because of the howling winds.
"Pardon?" You shouted to her.
"I said..." She raised her voice to overcome the wind, "I didn't expect to spend Hearths Warming night in a dumpster with a girl who blacked out from being drunk and my boyfriend."
Dumpster Dump
"Where's Fluttershy...?" Dash asked, looking in the direction of where Fluttershy was supposed to be.
"Uh..." You also guided your eyes over to her seat, seeing two pink sandals neatly put into the corner, and a vine strapping them together, "Her sandals are here."
"I kinda saw that." She rolled her eyes and pushed on the top of the dumpster, "Oh Celestia."
"What?"
"Don't dumpsters lock from the inside?" Dash and you dramatically locked eyes, widening a millimeter per second, "You idiot! You locked us in a dumpster!"
"Fluttershy got out!" You countered, pounding on the walls of the crate.
"She probably locked it. But you still threw us in here." Dash growled and rubbed her feet, getting the cold to flee away from them, "Stupid move. We could've just walked back to the college."
"Pardon me, but you couldn't move anymore because your feet were completely frozen. Fluttershy was freakin' wobbling all over the place and she probably would've ended up in a dumpster anyways. I think I saved your life." You watched as Dash took off her sunglasses and buried them into a pile of junk.
"We're stuck in a dumpster! You think that was a good idea?!" There goes her golden ponytail. Into the garbage.
"Well, maybe!" A wave of guilt washed through your body, your face drooping.
"Are we having our first couple fight?" Dash asked with a quiet squeak.
"...Yeah..."
"At least it means something." She punched the roof, it barely denting.There were some knocks that echoed through the small area, and Dash hit the walls again, "Ugh!"
"Dash, calm your buns. So what, we're stuck... Fluttershy might try to find her shoes and trace herself back to here." You reasoned, laying down.
"Might. Might. What if she doesn't, hm? Then what." Her legs crossed and she groaned loudly, shaking the cube they were locked in.
"I don't know-"
"Exactly. Want to know what'll happen? I'm gonna tell you..." She crawled over to you, "We'll be trapped forever. Forever."
"You're thinking too negatively. Stop making it sound grim, maybe we can have some private time in this dumpster." You pat her head and wiggled your eyebrows, "Right?"
"No."
"Fine then." And by you saying that, it was the end of your conversation with Dash. She twisted away from you and kept glaring at the hatch.
Everything was pretty dark in the 'security' of where you two were. You could just make out Dash without thinking that she was a raccoon scavenging for food. Your stomach grumbled at the thought of food, and you guessed the day. If Hearths Warming is on Tuesday, it's Wednesday. Recycling day-
You smiled and knew someone would find you today, guaranteed. More specifically, an adult. Not any kids, who would scream at the sight of people in a dumpster. A minute passed with no talking, and before you knew it, ten minutes. The time on your watch read 8:00am, most students would be awake by that time. You facepalmed and took out your phone from your pocket, unlocking it and scrolling through your contacts to see if you had anyone responsible enough to come get you out. Rarity would hate being in a dumpster, plus she blocked me... Fluttershy probably hates dumpsters now, Twilight blocked me... Who's she...? Whatever. Ah, Derpy!
You pressed your finger down onto Derpy's title, choosing call. Dash spoke up as she heard your phone ringing, "We have no cell service."
"Crap." You tucked the phone back into your pocket, having hope no matter what because of that fact that it's Wednesday. You yawned obnoxiously loud, trying to annoy Dash.
She ignored you, going back to staring upwards. Her dress was all dirty, like your suit, and she clogged her nose because the stench was getting heavier, "Dumbass."
The winds outside continued to move around loudly and quickly, the blizzard still there and working. You asked yourself in your head why you think Fluttershy left without waiting for the other two inhabitants. Nothing added up, no reason would Fluttershy ditch you guys. She's just too sweet. Dash finally chilled out, hands behind her head to rest against a wall. You did the same thing, eventually drifting off to sleep.
Dash watched you go into a slumber, and then started striking the metal with her fists again. You jumped awake by the noise, your head impacting the roof. As you rubbed your noggin, there was a voice coming from outside. Dash stopped and listened.
"Who is in there? Show yourselves!" You clutched your ears, the sound was too loud, like the one that does the announcements...
"Luna?! It's me, Dash! ...And my roommate!"
"Rainbow Dash? Why art thou..." Vice Principal Luna trailed off, starting her sentence quieter than last time.
"Idiot here got us locked in, now would you mind unlocking the doors so we can get out?" Dash smiled, and heard a click.
"Unlocked, now be gone! I have trash to rid of." Luna stepped back as Dash flung open the hatch, jumped out, and hugged Luna, who was bundled up in six layers of clothing and still shivering.
"Thank you for setting us free! And damn it's cold out..." Dash let go of the vice principal and ran to the sidewalk, waiting for cars to pass by, "HURRY UP, YOU TRUCK!"
You slowly climbed out of the box, rolling your eyes and nodding politely at Luna. She smiled and nodded back before throwing the junk bag away and flipping the lid down. She walked to the road and crossed it with the rainbow-haired that just wanted to get into the dorm, drink a hot cocoa and relax. You followed behind them, hands in pockets and head looking down at the snowy road. I gotta hang out with Luna more, she seems more of a student than a vp.
Dash ran into the college and picked up her high-heels which sat inside of the building, but still by the door. Luna adjusted her feminine knit cap so it covered her ears and tightened her black scarf as you opened the door for her, which Dash slammed rudely in you and Luna's faces to keep the cold out.
"Thanks for getting that dumpster open for us, Vice Principal Luna."
"Oh please, Vice Principal Luna is too formal. Call me Luna." Her navy hair flowed like her sister's, but created illusion that made little stars appear and shine.
"Thank you anyways." You and her walked side-by-side down the hallway, but she stopped at the office.
"Farewell, here is my cellular device number..." She pulled out a black phone and gave you it, and you swapped numbers, "Thou may make my cellular device ring anytime, except for night."
You gave her back her phone and waved to her, then strolled away and up the stairs. When you got up, you opened the dorm, plopping down onto your bed. Dash was taking a shower, obvious by the water hitting the bath noise, because she needed one... Badly. Sitting in trash overnight wouldn't make her smell good, neither did it make you smell heavenly.
"Hurry up." You yelled from the comfort of your warm bed.
"Nope. I sat in garbage." She shouted back, the door between you two cancelling out some of her volume.
"I did too."
"But you stayed positive about it."
Laughing Lu-Lu
[10:00] You: Luna?
[10:05] Luna: Hm?
[10:05] You: Wanna go somewhere? I'm awake and Dash is... not.
[10:07] Luna: Where to?
[10:07] You: Don't know, u pick.
[10:07] Luna: Roller-skating?
Who rollerskates nowadays?
[10:08] You: Sure, meet ya at the office?
[10:08] Luna: Okay.
You sighed at Luna's old-school methods of fun and headed out, silently shutting the door to not wake Dash. It was late enough for the lights to be on in the halls, because they turn off at midnight and stay off until 7:00am. It didn't really matter, since by now most of the students would be drinking coffee to shake away that morning feel. After a moment of you walking down the stairs, you saw a teacher climbing upwards. She was balancing a stack of papers on a clipboard, with a hot coffee sitting on top. It looked heavy altogether, since she was having trouble holding it up. When she tipped a bit to the left, the coffee tipped over and smashed against the edge of a stair. The dark drink stained her white jeans and made her swear loudly.
She lowered herself by bending her knees to pick up the shards of the mug, the papers barely laying peacefully on her right palm. As she was sitting on her heels, you rushed over to her and got your hands onto the stack, lifting it off of her fair skin.
"Thank you." She grinned and pulled a plastic bag out of her purse and emptied the content of the bag back into her purse. It was a simple toothbrush, which made you laugh on the inside because... She was carrying a toothbrush in her bag. She wiped up the glass and dropped it into the zip-lock container.
"I haven't seen you around here, guessing you're a new teacher?" You looked at the top page of the bundle, seeing that it was a report of a patient.
"Not much of a teacher... I'm here to help out Nurse Redheart with the students. Oral care." She then yanked a tissue out of her leather sack. She wiped up the coffee and stuffed it in the container before zipping it up, "I'm Colgate, dentist and or nurse."
"Colgate, as in the brand of toothpaste in your purse?"
"Best brand out there. Brushie brush brush!" Her smile literally sparkled, a pure white. She sure enjoyed brushing her teeth. Aside from her dentist-white smile... Her hair, that was half dark blue and half white, was styled like toothpaste. But it fitted her better than Trixie, who acquired the paste fashion.
"Hope to see you later... Or not... Considering you're the new school dentist." You handed over the pile to her, as she laughed with her gleaming smile.
You waved to her as she continued up the stairs, and you walked to the office to greet Luna. A couple of other teachers were getting up and working over their break, which sucked for them. You entered the office and looked around, a coffee maker beeping as it filled up a cup, Bonbon at her chair typing into a computer... Which had some totally off-topic things written down as you walked by such as 'Get a life, you stupid traitor'. There was a room off to the left where Luna and Celestia would do their work, and another section on the right which contained two bedrooms. You knocked on the right door and awaited a response, getting none. After another knock, Celestia opened the door bright-eyed and bushy tailed.
"Oh, hello! How may I assist you?" The principal leaned on the doorway, hands clutched together politely.
"I'm here to see Luna, we have a planned rollerblading thingy."
"LUNA! GET YOUR FATAS-" Celestia coughed, "Luna, may you please come to the door?"
A door slammed and Luna came storming out of her bedroom in a thigh-high nightgown covered in moons and stars. She had circles under her eyes, obviously woke up by Celestia's yelling, "What do you want, 'Tia?"
"Your date's here."
"'Tia! He isn't my date!" Luna blushed red and looked at you, "Wait here, I hast to dress myself."
You awkwardly stood there, staring at the stone tiled floor. Celestia did the same thing, occasionally looking at her nails. Her mouth opened to speak when Luna came bursting through the doorway, silencing Celestia.
"Off to rollerblading!" She said while putting on a black, shiny flat.
Luna fell out of her shoes about twice while travelling to the rollerblading arena, you having to help her back into them. What really made her fume is when she started moonwalking on black ice and landed square on her butt. She only slipped because her eyes were focused on her phone, which seemed to distract her a lot. She's such a klutz. That's cute.
She put away her phone when you two entered the building. She ran over to the fitting station in a childish manner and picked up some skates, putting them on and getting the size correct the first time. She put on a helmet and waited impatiently for you to get the proper measurements. When you finally did, you skated out to Luna.
"Why'd you pick roller-skating?" You asked while attempting to keep your balance, "It's not something our generation would do."
"Look around thou self, there are many teenagers here. I like the activity of roller-skating." Luna skated perfectly, but still hung onto you like lint.
"Augh!" You rolled too far ahead of Luna, and crossed your legs while skating. This caused you to flop over, "This is not that easy."
"Comes naturally to me." Luna did another lap as you helped yourself up, creeping up behind you as she finished off the circle. She leaned on you and hissed like she was a snake, poking your ribs, "Sss."
"What are you doing?"
"I have an idea. A brilliant idea." She giggled and ripped off her skates and helmet, throwing them away. You took your skating accessories and did the same, following Luna as she ran out the door.
Back the college you went, confused as hell. You barely spent ten minutes at the roller ring with Luna, and now she wants to rush back to Los Pegasus College to do something you were unaware of. She said she had all the materials, and all the materials for the materials were in her room... Along with the materials for the materials that were for the materials. Maybe Luna was just joking about having materials for the materials... But she wouldn't do that. Was this supposed to be something to do with you being pranked by her? Too much stuff to think about.
"Shh, 'Tia's getting prepared for an assembly... Putting on the correct amount of makeup... Getting that perfect dress that makes her look sophisticated... Her bottle of water that is actually there for when she forgets what to say and needs to stall..." Luna rubbed her hands together as she crouched down while walking, sneaking into her room quietly.
"Okay then, Luna... Whatever you say..." You grumbled as you ninjaed carefully.
She shut her door and reached into her drawer, pulling out a box labeled 'DO NOT ENTER'. Her left earring came out of her ear and she used the key-shaped jewelry to open the box. In there was a piece of paper taped to the roof, reading 'Luna's Prank Box'... With a bunch of supplies underneath it. She carefully let a small container lift out, which had a piece of paper stuck to it like everything else, as if she didn't want to get anything mixed up.
"Laxatives." She smirked as she grasped the bottle tight, "Purely for pranking purposes."
"Huh?"
"Thou do not understand..." She searched her brain for an explaination, "Ah, here thou go. We shall take these..."
Bottle rattle.
"And take them to the assembly. 'Tia has that water, and we will sneak some of these pills into that drink. She'd have to run to the toilet in the middle of her speech." She put the bottle in her pocket, "We shall steal all the toilet paper in her preferred bathrooms."
"You're so wicked." You smiled as she opened her door and ran out.
"I know that."
A minute or two later, Celestia came out of her room to announce the assembly. As she pressed her hand down on the button to talk, Luna tiptoed into her older sister's doorway, looking behind her constantly. She looked at you and crossed her arms, mouthing for you to go get the toilet paper and store it under Celestia's bed. You frowned and watched as Luna dropped a couple laxatives into Celestia's drink, running away a few seconds later. She pushed you out the office door and into the girls bathroom, with you pushing back to get out of the place no man should be.
"She might be desperate enough to go into the men restroom, so if thou want to wimp out from staying in this restroom for more than three moments... Go there."
"I will not wimp out!" You touched a stall and squeaked, cowering from the touch, "I'm gonna go take the paper from that other room..."
"Thou do that." She looked in every stall, laughing at the fact that there was already no toilet paper. Oh, public bathrooms...
Surprisingly, both bathrooms were clean out of the stuff that needed to be removed. You met up with Luna at the gym, ridding of all the unneeded things that would ruin the prank. When it was all done, the announcements boomed to call everyone down. You caught up with Dash in the line of students, Luna went off to the sides with her camera to film everything happening. Everything.
"This is gonna be fun, just keep your eyes on Principal Celestia's movements and behavior... Okay, Dash?" You smiled as Dash shrugged in a 'why not' manner.
You took your seat and let out a manly giggle as Celestia stood upon her podium, starting with a cough and a smile. Her speech was nothing to you, you almost fell asleep until you noticed her break...
That pause.
The one Luna described.
This was it.
Celestia reached for her water and undid the cap, taking a two-second gulp of it. Luna dropped a lot in... Her reaction should be quick...
Only an exact minute later did Celestia's eyes widen the slightest, her legs crossing. A look of discomfort spread throughout her face, as she wasn't near done her talking. You looked over to Luna as Celestia was resisting the urge to run off and go to the bathroom somewhere. Luna bit her lip and hit the record button, hoping to get something worthy of the internet. Just get up and scurry to the bathroom already...
"Now, onto the... Funding of the activities in school..." Her legs uncrossed, then crossed again using the opposite leg. She put on a smile and started talking about money.
Sitting through this was boring, Luna even stopped the video so she could rest her eyes. She'd probably piece the two footage slices together if she didn't sleep through the main part, but you had to stay awake so you could see the moment when she breaks her posture and skedaddles. You noticed a head of rainbow hair was on your shoulder, and you rolled your eyes at it. On your other side was Rarity, who was looking into a mirror and distracting herself. Celestia grunted in frustration as she looked away from the microphone, and looked angry. She brushed off the bottom of her dress and flipped her bangs out of her eyes.
The angry look turned into an angry look towards Luna, who quickly turned on the camcorder. Celestia shot out of her seat and, loudly, stomped into the girls change room... There was a bathroom in there, one without toiler paper. The students all looked at each other, keeping silent. Laughter started from one of the people in the front row, as they noticed the symptoms.
"Principal Celestia just went to take a crap!" They shouted, and an explosion of laughter emitted from the prankster students. It travelled to the rest of the kids, except the serious ones like Twilight. She was red with anger and crossed her arms over her chest.
"LUNA!" Celestia growled and shouted at the same time. She found out there was no paper left, it seems. Teehee.
Twilight slowly got up and ran out of the gym, coming back later with a bag. She creeped to the bathroom and threw the bag over to Celestia, then casually walked out to find her seat and sit in it. You looked at her and she smiled back at you, ending it with a sneer. Celestia came out and continued talking like nothing happened, and you saw Luna waiting for you to look at her. When you did she waved the camera, smiling at the footage she got.
"This is the end of the assembly, because nobody seems to be listening to me." Celestia deadpanned, "Everyone can go back to your regular activities."
The gym emptied quicker than Celestia's water bottle, and Luna waved you over to her, "I have the best video ever. Thank thou for helping me with this incredible prank. This is going to be viral."
"You're welcome, Luna. That was pretty fun." You held up your hand in a fist for a fist-bump, and Luna went to hit your hand, "Gah!"
"Art thou okay?!" Luna held her hand over her mouth, and so did you to your mouth.
"You missed my fist!" You mumbled. HOW DOES SOMEONE MISS THAT MUCH?!
"Uh... I shall take thou to the nurse and clean up this... Blood..." She quickly pulled you to the nurse's office, pounding on the door and shouting, "REDHEART, I PUNCHED MY FRIEND IN THE MOUTH AND NEED HELP. THIS INSTANT."
The door swung open and Luna almost fell inside, recovering fast. Nurse Redheart whistled as she grabbed you and sat you down in a dentist chair. Answering the whistle was Colgate, who smiled and laughed, "Wow. You actually came to see me again. With a reason."
You uncovered your mouth and gasped as Colgate pulled a tooth out of your mouth with you having no pain, as Luna seemed to have knocked it out. It was covered in blood, completely. Colgate gasped with you and looked at a sheepish Luna, which was one difference of the gasp type, but there was one other...
Colgate didn't pass out from looking at the tooth. Who knew it would've made you woozy. Who knew Luna's fist was powerful enough to punch out a tooth.
Twilight's Bookshelf
Your eyes opened slowly, looking around and seeing you were in a foreign place. What you remembered was that Luna missed your fist and punched you in the general mouth area... You were rushed to the nurse by her and then you passed out because of the red tooth. But what you didn't know was where you were. Where the hell am I? And why am I being poked on the shoulder...?
"Are you awake?"
"Yes, I'm awake. Now why am I in a dark room?" You answered back, standing up and jamming your hip against a wooden table, "FUUUUUUU-"
The girl flipped a light switch, as told by a flick. A light on the ceiling brightened and illuminated the tiny wood cylinder that seemed to be a private library. You turned while grasping your hip, seeing Twilight smiling at you with her glasses off, which is unusual.
"What's this place, Twi?" You questioned.
"It's my bookshelf!" She clapped her hands together excitedly, giggling and putting her hair in a ponytail.
"This is a bit big to be a bookshelf."
"It's a nickname, idiot." Twilight started climbing up stairs, motioning you to follow her, "I heard you played a prank on Principal Celestia. You cruel jerk."
"Hey! It was the girl who knocked out a tooth of mine's idea!" You defended yourself, stepping upwards.
"Oh. Then it's fine." She sat down at a desk and pointed to the other side, which had another chair.
"Love you too." You growled and rolled your eyes, sitting, "Why am I here?"
"I want to chat." Her smile grew, "Like... Alleys?"
Bad memories hitting n-... HNG.
"What about alleys?" You wiped a sweat bead off your forehead.
"Murderers in alleys?" She coughed, "You told me about Dash almost getting murdered in an alley... I know why."
"You do?!"
"Indeed." Twilight's hand slipped into a folder, where she pulled out a picture and slid it over to you. There was a school name on it, and you gasped at knowing that the school was Los Pegasus College's arch enemy, "Seuss."
"Oh my Celestia. That college went to extremes to try to murder a student?!" You stared at the picture of 'Seuss', flabbergasted.
"Seuss was told that if she could kill the star athlete, her school would be the top. She tried." Twilight shook her head and put away the picture, "Let's get onto a happier topic. Such as a walk in the park?"
Your emotion represented confused, "As a date?"
"No! I-" She blushed wildly, "Just to chat!"
"I'm only joking Twi. I'd be glad to go on a little walk." You stood up and started following the nerd out of her 'bookshelf', laughing as she plucked a book from the desk.
The snow was melted and the roads were clear, it being a sunny day in town. The foliage was green as ever, flowers colourful and bouncy. The purple haired girl beside you pointed out a patch of grass that was dry, and plopped her derriere down into it. You did the same thing, yawning.
"So how are you today?" She said while taking off her black sweater to rest her head on it. This revealed that she was wearing a one-piece magenta jumper.
"I lost a tooth. I'm good." You looked up at the clouds, seeing a book, "Look! It's your best friend!"
Twilight looked at you and frowned, "My best friend is my brother."
"Pshh- BAHAHAHAH."
"Don't laugh! He was my favourite person in the world when I was younger! Then he married my babysitter and I barely see him anymore..." She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing, "I wish I could see him. Just for a minute. Cadence, his wife, is a Chemistry teacher."
"So you're basically lonely? I thought you had Spike?"
"I do have Spike, but he's not as close to me as my big brother, you know the feeling?" She slowly turned her body towards you.
"Kind of." You paused and looked at Twilight, "I never noticed how you aren't just a big nerd. You have a life outside of school and reading."
"Well duh. I love reading and everything, but it's not my entire life. For example, I like volleyball... And figure skating." She giggled, "I know I don't have the shape for skating, I'm no hourglass."
"Oh Celestia, now we're talking about your body shape, are we?" You were awaiting the wave of self-conscious words that were gonna come out of Twilight's mouth. She has a perfectly fine body to you, but she'd just swipe away the compliment and whine.
"Only if you want to, I'll change the subject... Like how perfect Rarity is?" Her eyes instantly flew open, a sigh coming out of her.
"Twilight. What are you doing. Twilight. Stahp. You're beautiful."
"Really? Because I think my hips are too skinny- Argh. Topic change! Want to go back to my bookshelf?" She got up and tied her jacket around her waist.
"I guess."
The door swung wide open, and Twilight hopped onto a railing... Sliding down to the floor below. She landed on her feet like a cat, then waiting for you to do the same. After you got yourself onto the railing like Twi, you tumbled down and slammed into a couch.
"And I'm called a klutz." She giggled and helped you up, pulling you onto the couch with her.
You had a thought of what Twilight said earlier, and you put your hand in her pocket to search for her cellphone... Only getting a slap from her and a growl, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Getting your phone. Why don't you have it?"
"I have it. Just somewhere people wouldn't steal it from." She reached into her shirt and pulled out her phone, making you gasp and have a look of disgust. You took it from her and shook your head at the sheepish girl, opening the heated electronic.
After running back into Twi's dorm, you scrolled through her contacts. Luckily, she barely had any. You found 'Shining Armor' and clicked it. You quickly sent a text to him, pretending to be Twilight, and he responded instantly.
[12:00] You: I'm really lonely, can you come over? We haven't seen each other in a long time.
[12:00] Shining: Sure Twiley, can I bring Cadence?
[12:00] You: I'd love too see her too!
[12:01] Shining: Be there soon.
You sneaked into the bookshelf again, throwing the phone to Twilight. She turned her head to it a few second after it hit the ground, and she plucked it up to stuff back into her shirt. What was strange is that she had no questions, she just flicked a button on a remote for the TV she implanted in a wall. She switched it to a sport channel and looked over to you.
"You boys like your sports. So here it is." Her body went from vertical on the couch to horizontal, her feet on your lap and her head on the arm part of the furniture. She eventually fell asleep, you paying attention to the game.
Only ten minutes later did you hear a knock on the door, making you stand up and Twilight jump up from the scare. She lazily walked to the door, opened it, walked to the other door and opened that. Her reaction to who was there made her act like Pinkie Pie on a sugar high. Who are we kidding, Pinkie Pie's always on a sugar high...
"SHINING? CADENCE?" She group hugged the male who looked nothing like her... And the tall, thin woman with yellow, pink and purple hair, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"You messaged me to come over..." Shining looked confused for a second before he smiled lightly, like his wife.
Twilight turned to you and had a humongous smile, "Thank you, I called him earlier today, and he didn't respond, so I gave up... Who knew he would be available at lunch? Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"No problem, I'll let you and your family have some peace. Glad I helped you reunite. I feel like a... Guidance counselor or something." You shrugged at laughed at the possibility of you being a counselor.
"That spot's already taken at this school. Anyways, I'll see you in class? I'm going to have lunch and I'M BUYING!" Twilight shouted the last part with all her might.
"Twiley, I'll pay for the food." Cadence showed Twilight her wallet, which must've been full because the zipper wasn't closed all the way. Chemistry teaching pays a lot.
"Fine." Twilight and you walked out the door together, and separated to let her go the opposite way with brother and sister-in-law.
You glanced back at them and adjusted your jacket, pulling where the zipper cord would be on each side together, proudly. Then, you would've pushed the two sides away from each other if you could... But you were laying on the ground rubbing your head at the some impact with someone else. You helped up a pale hand and looked at the owner of the hand, who bit her lip and looked ashamed of something. Fluttershy shouldn't be ashamed of... Locking you in a dumpster... Maybe she should.
College Of End
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
What do you want Dash?!
[15:07] Dash: Hey
[15:07] Dash: Hey
[15:07] Dash: Hey
[15:07] Dash: Hey
[15:07] Dash: Hey
[15:07] Dash: Asshole, get your body back to the dorm. News.
Gah.
You scurried your way down the hall, knocking on the door which Dash lay behind. Opening it was AJ, looking sadder than usual. She didn't even bother to wave and make some type of western flashback happen. Sitting on your bed was Pinkie, twiddling her thumbs and sticking out her tongue in focus. Dash's bed owned Twilight and Rarity, the nerd looking through some files that looked similar to a folder you saw on her desk. Rarity was just being her normal drama-queen and sobbing into a tissue. Fluttershy was resting her head on a pillow on the couch, nothing else to it. All while Dash was trying to get Twilight to peel her eyes off a book and tell her something, before she sighed and looked over at you.
"News?" You questioned, going over to sit with Flutters.
"Yes... Twilight?"
Twi's head snapped up and she held up the now-recognizable folder, the one with Dash's attempted murderer's picture. That's when you remembered it clearly.
"Her again?" You raised an eyebrow.
"Mhm."
"What's wrong this time?"
"Her school... Lightview College... Has told us that our schools are too close together. They were here first and they have threatened to get our school..." Twilight scanned the papers again, "Shut down."
"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!" Rarity shouted politely, before slipping off the edge of the bed and landing with a slight poof onto the ground, "HELP ME UP."
"Get up yourself." Dash scoffed.
"NO. I AM IN A VERY TROUBLING TIME RIGHT NOW."
"Period?"
"Yes." Rarity pushed her hand off the ground and sat her butt back on the edge of the bed.
"Those dicks. First they try to murder me then try to get us closed? No wonder their stuck-up Principal makes everyone looks the same. I want to uppercut that Chrysalis creep. Gah, and her insane VP Sombra. That dude is probably a child molester." Dash made an uppercut motion with her fist before questioning what she just said, "Ew what."
"Those meanies. They can't even let us participate in watching their competitions!" Pinkie scrunched up her face before putting her finger in her mouth and sneaking up behind Twilight.
You smiled at Pinkie, turning to the window, "Is that the school way back behind the patch of stores?"
"Yup." Twilight sighed, slamming her binder shut, "I wanted to go over there and try to reason with Chrysalis and Sombra, but Fluttershy and Rarity are too scared to."
Twilight slapped Pinkie's finger away as it entered her ear, and she shriveled in disgust of the wet willy just given to her.
"I AM ON MY PERIOD." Rarity screeched humorously.
"I rather stay in the safety of my friends' rooms, if that's alright with you..." Fluttershy rolled over on the couch, now facing the TV.
There was a fancy clock on Lightview College, and it was ticking while somehow smiling evilly at you. Smiling evilly at Los Pegasus College, possibly? You nodded and twisted to the four girls who wanted to go, "We are going over there to chat with those leaders. C'mon."
"Ah'm not sure 'bout that, sugarcube. What if they decide to press charges, too?" AJ started, "Or are they not allowed to do that yet?"
"They can't press charges for something as silly as this. They can't even tell us to shut down, in fact. I bet Celestia has tried to reason, but she even gave up." Twilight told AJ, before getting up and opening your dorm's door, "Off we go to wonder what they are trying to do."
Pinkie, AJ, Twilight, Dash and you eventually found your way to Lightview, only getting lost... About three times... You were the one who knocked on the front door to avoid any trouble, but Dash was the one who got everyone in because she kicked open the door. And she managed to knock down three girls who looked alike. Er... Everyone looked alike. The girls wore some black leggings with occasional holes in them, and some swamp green dress that had no sleeves at all. The bottom of the dress looked all worn out, faded and kinda like it was shot with a gun a few times. Every girls hair was pulled back in a bun, with a bow that looked a bit like tiny wings. They wore pure black loafers, and the boys wore this type of shoe also. But the males wore black pants with a swamp green dress-shirt, unlike the girls. It seemed that every male had his hair cut short, so no fancy hairstyles for them.
The office was bam, right to the left of the front door. You helped up the females that Dash knocked down, getting slapped by one of them and kicked by another. They huffed before picking up their books and running off to their dorms. In the office was an older lady with the weirdest dress on ever, containing worn out holes like the stocking of her students. Principal Chrysalis. You gagged at her taste of weird clothing and raised your fist to knock on the door. Except Dash kicked open the door again.
Chrysalis turned to the door and raised an eyebrow, "Why aren't you four students in your uniforms? Your clothes are hideous."
"We don't go to this school, idiot." Dash growled and stomped her foot onto AJ's, AJ retaliating by slightly pushing Dash, "Sorry."
"We go to Los Pegasus College." Twilight smiled brightly.
"We want you to stop being meanie-weenies! Hehe I said weenies." Pinkie giggled before flopping onto the ground in full-out laughter. She then ate a cupcake and continued her laugh-fest.
"We are wonderin' why y'all tryin' to get us shut down." AJ crossed her arms and her eyes watched Pinkie roll by.
"Get out of here, no one wants your faces shown. You took our spot as the city's specialty college, and now that everyone is getting their bodies into your 'amazing' college, we have lost around 10% of our students. They applied and about 7% of them got back in. Luckily, the people who didn't get into your damned school came here. We are very angry, and you have to go. Now." The Principal said, fixing her long green hair.
"No. We want this report gone- HEY PUT ME DOWN!" Twilight screamed, being held up by a strong male.
"Thank you Sombra, bring them all out. Especially this cottonball that smells like..." Chrysalis sniffed the air and stuck out her tongue in disgust, "Sweet cotton candy?"
Twilight kicked and soon enough gave up, being thrown out of the school. Next was Pinkie, who claimed to have been touched in funny places and tickled as she was dragged out. AJ and Dash were the problems, as Dash punched Sombra and AJ even attempted to strangle him. But as you were picked up, you pushed Sombra away and walked out of the school without giving a single fuck.
Back at your college was crying, weeping and even some anger issues. Mostly with Dash. She ripped a pillow in half. Ow.
"That was pointless." Twilight sat quietly other than that. Fluttershy and Rarity left the room during your visit to Lightview, and AJ went straight to her dorm instead of coming back with the group.
Pinkie exited a few minutes later so she could eat some special cake she baked and forgot to take out of the oven. That must've burned something. Twilight and Dash were laying on the same bed, with you pacing around. You stopped and looked at the speakerphone on the wall as Luna boomed through it.
".esaelp, sgnignoleb ruoy pu kcaP... 'TIA THIS MAKES NO SENSE!"
"It's upside-down, Lu-lu." Celestia echoed from the back of the office.
"Oh..." Luna coughed and flipped the page, "Attention all Los Pegasus College students... Principal Chrysalis of Lightview College has demanded that after ten years of our college stealing away her students that we retire our entire population. School is dismissed for the year, and forever. We have no way of protecting ourselves, as her point is valid. We are definitely a better school and only our possibly-successful failed students like Gilda Griffon have gone there. Pack up your belongings, please."
"My Celestia... I can't believe it. That college is sick. I'll seeya later Dash." Twilight adjusted her glasses and wiped a tear away from the corner of her eyes, "That was the quickest bad news that has ever happened to me..."
Twilight ran out of the room and slammed the door behind her, leaving you and Dash. Dash slowly packed away her stuff, and you did too. This took about an hour before everything was clean, and even Dash's special posters were ripped clean off the wall. You realized something; you don't live in Los Pegasus, while Dash does. You'd only get to see her over Skype or whatever social network crap people use. Something popped into your head, but it was a bit risky. You smiled and frowned, Dash looking at you like you were having a face-seizure.
"Dash?" You stayed at a smile this time.
"Yes?"
"I'M A T-REX RAWR!" You morphed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, breaking through the roof. You bent down and looked at Dash with your beady eyes. Your tiny arms waved in the wind, and you continued to stare at Dash. Through Dash. The next thing that happened was unbelievable... You opened your mouth and swallowed Dash with one single gulp.
THE END
loljk, are you ready for the sequel?
