Destinies Intertwined

It was 8 o’clock in the morning, Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack, and Fluttershy were helping Rarity repair the hole that Twilight blew into her wall yesterday. Applejack had just arrived in Big Mac’s five year old white Ford pick up truck, a large amount of wood and plaster in the bed. The farm pony got out of the truck. She was wearing a brown jacket, her trademark cowboy hat, worn jeans, and boots. “Got the stuff here, Rares.”

“Thank you, darling.” Rarity said from her point, sitting on a lawn chair, sipping hot cocoa.

Rainbow, wearing a (ponified sports team) sweatshirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, heaved three planks and a sack of plaster. “You mind helpin, Rarity?” Rainbow asked, struggling with the weight of the supplies.

“I’m supervising, darling.” Rarity corrected.

“Can’t ya handle a few supplies, city girl?” Applejack asked, grabbing six planks and placing a bag of plaster on top.

“Whadda ya mean?” Rainbow asked.

“Nothin’,” Applejack grinned.

“She said ‘Can’t ya handle a few supplies, city girl?’”. Pinkie Pie-

Pinkie Pie: Whoah! Who are you?

NotRamjet97 Uh...Well, I’m NotRamjet97, and that’s Autobot Lancewing (points to blue anthropomorphic wolf)

Lancewing: Are we seriously breaking the fourth wall?

Wheeliefan101: The fourth wall’s already broken, the fifth wall on the other hand.

NotRamjet97: WHEELIEFAN101?!

Wheeliefan101: Aw yeah.

Lancewing: Anyway, this is a prequel to one of my stories. What happens here will lead-

NotRamjet97: SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

Lancewing: Why not? You already said so in the summary.

NotRamjet97: Um… Still… I don’t wanna blow anything, especially with The mane 6 and-

Lancewing: Okay, we get the point!

Rarity: If you don’t mind, I still have a hole in my wall.

Lancewing: Okay!

“Y’all right there, Pinkie?” Applejack asked.

“Yup! Just talking to NotRamjet97 and Autobot Lancewing.”

Lancewing: STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!

Pinkie Pie: Okie Dokie Lokie!

“Pinkie? Can we get to work?” Rainbow asked.

“Sure! Autobot Lancewing’s being a joykill anyway.”

“Moving on,” Rainbow Dash said, “So how did this happen again?”

“I heard these two guys talking and-”

“I meant the hole in the wall.”

“Twilight happened,” Rarity said, “She was yelling at Spike. I stepped in to try to stop her, because she was going to far, but then we got into an argument ourselves and that’s when she blew a hole in my wall.”

“My goodness,” Fluttershy exclaimed, “I’ve never seen Twilight get so upset.”

“Hmph! And on top of that she took Spikey Wikey from me right as I was about to ki-give him another donut.” That comment resulted in stares from the others. “What?”

“It sounded like you were gonna say-”

“Pinkie!” Rarity put a hand over Pinkie’s mouth.

“What? I was just gonna say-”

“Please! Don’t say anything,” Rarity’s eyes pleaded.

“Okie dokie lokie!” And Pinkie went back to work on the wall.

Rainbow looked at Applejack, who winked, Rainbow raised an eyebrow, not sure what her friend was implying. Applejack sighed and went over to Rainbow, nonchalantly whispering, “I’ll tell ya later.”

“What was that?” Rarity asked.

“What was what?” Rainbow questioned, knowing Applejack was a terrible liar, she decided to go with this.

“Applejack whispered something to you.”

“Nuh uh.”

“What did she say?”

“She said she thought Soarin’ was cute.”

“Wha-? Ah did not!” Applejack planted her hands on her hips.

“Yeah you did, you mentioned you go real crazy when he wears that skin tight suit that shows off his butt so-”

Applejack bolted towards Rainbow and tackled her to the ground. Applejack pressed her hands on Rainbow’s shoulder and glared at her. “Now...It’ payback time…” Applejack quickly moved her fingers directly under Rainbow’s armpits, and proceeded to tickle her pegasus friend.

Rainbow burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter, as her friend’s fingers lightly poked her armpits. Tears began streaming down Rainbow’s cheeks as the assault continued.

“You two look like you’re having fun,” Twilight said as she walked up.

“Howdy, Twilight!” Applejack greeted, getting off of Rainbow, pulling the pegasus up from the ground. “Did y’all come ta help?”

Twilight rubbed her shoulder, not sure how Rarity would take her being there. Applejack saw this and gave her friend a hug, “We’d love your company, Twi.” She whispered.

Twilight sighed, “Okay, thanks Applejack.”

“No problem, sugarcube.”

Applejack helped bring Twilight over to the truck, when Rarity saw them. “What is SHE doing here?” She asked, tapping her foot.

“She’s here to help, Rares,” Applejack answered.

“And I came here to apologise for what happened,” Twilight added.

“Twilight,” Rarity folded her arms, “Sometimes an apology isn’t enough.”

“I know, I also got a warning from Celestia that I was about blow this out of proportion. Needless to say, the warning came too late.”

“I’ll say, you destroyed my wall over it, not to mention spoiled my brunch with Spike.”

“That’s the other thing I need to mention. Remember when I mentioned that Spike was a little moody?”

“Yes...Even though he wasn’t being moody at all around me…”

“It turns out that he’s going through puberty. That’s why Celestia sent me the letter. I have it right here if you don’t believe me.”

“I believe you. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to forgive you just yet.”

“Rares,” Applejack said, “You know the saying ‘forgive and forget,’ right?”

“It’s hard to forget something like a huge hole in the wall, your little sister being scared to death, and interrupting a very tender moment between me and Spikey Wikey.”

“Well, that’s Twilight for ya. You know how she is when she thinks something’s a huge deal when it has an obvious answer she’s missing.”

“Thank you,” Twilight said before… “HEY!”

“Sorry.”

“But, she could have waited ‘till Spike had gotten home, that way I finish proving how much in love with him I am.”

Everyone but Twilight giggled to themselves after hearing that response. Rarity’s cheeks burned, partly in embarrassment, partly in pure fury. “TWILIGHT!!!!!”

“What?”

“You just made me tell everyone I am dating Spike!”

“How did I ‘make you’ say something?”

“YOU KNOW HOW!!” Rarity lunged at Twilight, pushing her to the ground.

Twilight lay there, tears forming in her eyes. She glared at Rarity, before running in the direction of her library crying.

“Now why did you go and do that,” Applejack asked clearly outraged.

“She made me tell everyone!”

“That was your own fault.”

“No! If she hadn’t come, no one would have known!”

Fluttershy spoke up, “Um, but already I knew Rar-”

“SHUT UP!”

Fluttershy jumped, and her lip trembled, tears began to form in her eyes. “I-I have to go…” She said before running off.

“Now look at what you’ve done!” Applejack yelled.

“Applejack-” Pinkie, tired of seeing her friends fight, tried to interject, but.

“What I’ve done?! What about Twilight?!” Rarity interrupted.

“Yeah!” Rainbow added, “She put a dang hole in Rarity’s house! And then she just waltzes back here expecting Rarity to forgive her?”

“Rainbow, I think Twi-” Pinkie tried again, but-

“Yes! Cuz we’re her friends and that’s what friends do!”

“AJ-”

“Maybe in Disneyland, but this is the real world! You don’t go doing stuff like that!”

“Rain-”

“Oh? Then maybe you should give up on your dream of bein’ a Wonderbolt.”

“Ap-”

Rainbow fumed, she glared at Applejack. “You. Take. That. Back!”

“No.”

“Then-”

“ENOUGH!” Pinkie Pie yelled. The other girls looked at her. “I want ALL of you to GO BACK HOME AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DOING! You made Twilight and Fluttershy cry, and NO ONE does that to them! NO ONE! So everyone just go home and stay there!”

The others gave each other one final glare, and left their separate ways. Pinkie sighed, kicked at the dirt, and slowly, cried her way back to Sugarcube Corner.
