Of tests and lovesickness
Standardized tests; just another way to push ponies to their limits. Three hours of sitting in an big room, the only sounds audible are the scratches of pencils, the shriek of erasers, and the tip-tap of the exam procter's hooves. For six days straight they were put through this torture, and she couldn't stand it. Waking up at four in the morning only to have to sit in a room for three hours straight. No breaks. No talking. No Twilight. That was the worst to the cyan pegasus, being away from her love. It drove her insane. The dead silence didn't help much either.
"Damn this sucks." the cyan pegasus thinks to herself. "Five more days of this." staring at the test booklet (which she's yet to even open). "This is so boring. Why do they make us do this? What’s the point?" tapping the eraser of her pencil against the top of her test booklet. "I may as well try to do something." Flipping open her answer document and test booklet. "Question one: How many liters of NAOH- will be produced by combusting 2.5g of NA with..." Rainbow stops and scratches her head and groans. "When will we ever need to know this stuff in the real world?" she glares over at a brown unicorn with a test tube for a cutie mark who is effortlessly scrawling answers across the lines of his paper. "Damn him. I bet he's having no issues with this, that prick." she says to herself. "Um, answer B looks good." she fills in the bubble next to B. "Question 2:..."
The routine dragged on for hours. The rainbow-maned pegasus tried to focus for as long as her patience would allow, until finally she let her mind wander once again. "I wonder what Twilight is doing? She's probably cozy in her bed”. Maybe if she'd stayed over at Twi's house last night she wouldn't be here. Right now she'd probably be with Twi, comfortable and asleep. But then again maybe she’d still be here. The lavender unicorn was an honor student and wanted Rainbow to do good as well. She was always nagging her to do her work or study.
The pegasus sighs. "I can’t stand this anymore." she whispers raising her hoof and closing her test and answer booklets. "Can I use the bathroom?" she asks as the proctor reaches her, the stallion nodded and Rainbow wastes no time standing up and hurrying out the door.
Rainbow laughs after she walks out the door. "Now to head to Twilight’s.'" she laughs running her hooves through her mane. "But first, to suck up, so she doesn't get too mad at me. Flowers sound good, roses." On her way to Twilights house she drops by Fluttershy's place to steal some flowers from her garden.
Standing on the doorstep of the apartment Rainbow rings the doorbell and a sleepy unicorn answers rubbing her eyes. "R-Rainbow? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be in school?"
"Well ya, but I couldn't resist being away from you." Rainbow flashed a sheepish smile, as a foal would when cought with their hooves in the cookie jar. "Oh ya before I forget. these are for you." she hands over the roses.
"Oh Rainbow these are so..." she realizes what Rainbow is trying to do. "Hey! Don't think you can butter me up just like that!"
Rainbow just stammers. she wasn't expecting Twi to figure out what she was up too.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SKIP YOUR TESTS, SHOW UP ON MY DOORSTEP WITH FLOWERS AND EXPECT IT TO BE OK!?!" Rainbow is taken aback by this, she had never seen this side of her marefriend. "YOU NEGLECT YOUR STUDIES, AND NEVER DO YOUR WORK! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?!?!?"
Rainbow just looks at the unicorn for a moment and then gives her a hug. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to be with you." Rainbow says, her voice breaking.
All the fury Twilight had just felt seemed to disappear the instant Rainbow hugged her. "I-It's ok." She broke, she couldn't stay mad at Rainbow for long, but this was a new record. "Why don't we go inside? You can make it up to me in there." Twilight led Rainbow into the apartment closing the door behind them.

Of Drive-Throughs and Pranks
Twilight, Rainbow, and Pinkie are driving in Twilight's new car.
“Hey everypony I have a really fun idea, it’s a prank!” Rainbow exclaims as she looks out the window of the passenger seat.
From the back seat, Pinkie looks out all the windows quickly. “Really Rainbow Dash? You know I just LOVE pranks! We should do it! What did you have in mind?” Almost bouncing in the seat the pink pony seems more hyper than usual.
Sighing Twilight looks around to see if she could get any idea what Rainbow had in mind.
“I give, what is your idea?”
“Oh you guys will love it. Pull into this place and park the car.” Rainbow points to an empty parking lot.
After pulling into the lot and parking the car, Twilight and Pinkie both look at Rainbow. “So what did you have in mind Rainbow? We haven’t pulled pranks since Gilda was around! This will be s-” The pink pony was cut off by a purple hoof covering her mouth, yet she was still trying to talk but nothing audible could be heard.
“Well, here’s what we're gonna do.” The Cyan pony starts to explain her plan to the others.
(at the drive through for McDonalds)
Twilight and Rainbow were in the front seats and Pinkie was nowhere to be seen. As they start to approach the first window Twilight rolls down her window. “Excuse me.” she says to the mare working drive through. “Could you please tell me where the nearest graveyard is?” Just as Twilight finishes the sentence a pounding could be heard from the trunk of the car.
“Help, let me out! Somepony call the police! Help” Pinkie was yelling from the trunk.
“I thought she was dead.” Twilight says quietly, but loud enough for the mare to hear
“Shut the fuck up!” Rainbow yells back.
“HELP!” More pounding could be heard.
The mare at the window had a look on her face that could only be described as priceless. While all this was going on, the trunk pops open and the pink pony jumps out and starts running.
“GET THE FUCK BACK HERE!” Twilight yells, catching a quick glance at the mare in the drive through who looked like she had no clue what to make of the situation, as she stomps the gas and speeds the car out of the restaurant's parking lot and after the running pink pony.
As they round the corner after leaving the McDonalds they see Pinkie Pie standing by a tree on the side of the road laughing her head off. “Oh girls That was so funny I’m so glad you thought of that Rainbow Dash did you see the face of the mare at the window she had no clue what to think and her face was priceless I had to work so hard to keep myself from laughing as we were doing it oh did i ment-” A blue hoof goes over Pinkies mouth and she stops trying to talk. “Sorry girls, I guess I was just excited.”
“It’s alright Pinkie; oh and Rainbow, it was a really funny idea.”
“Yeah, I know.” Rainbow Dash smiles and leans back into the seat looking at the roof of the car. This is why she loves her friends.
