Just A Simple Apology

“Rainbow Dash, why won’t you just say it?”

“I didn’t want to go to the spa with you Rarity!”

“That isn’t what I want to hear!”

Rainbow Dash growled and crossed her arms. “I don’t understand! I never want to go to the spa, I always tell you that, and we never get into fights! What’s the big deal this time?”

“I’m tired of your sass.” Rarity sighed.

“My sass? You’re the sassiest pony I know!”

“Maybe, but at least I have manners.”

Rolling her eyes, Dash struggled to come up with something to say. She muttered “sass master of the year” under her breath. Rarity shook her head.

“I just want an apology for how you’ve treated me.” said Rarity.

“What?” Dash exclaimed. “Why?”

Rarity furrowed her brow. “Because you’re my friend, and I deserve an apology for your rudeness, Rainbow Dash!”

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened. She wasn’t used to anybody being upset at her, especially one of her friends.

“Uh, okay… I’m sorry.” She muttered.

“What are you sorry for?” Rarity asked, leading Rainbow Dash on.

It worked, as Dash grit her teeth but began to speak once again. “I’m sorry I was rude and sassy to you.” She sighed. “You deserve better than my rudeness and sassiness.”

Rarity smiled. “That wasn’t so hard, was it? That’s all I needed to hear. Thank you.” She turned tail and began to trot away.

“Wait, what?” Dash flew to catch up with her. “What are you doing?”

“I got my apology, now I have work to do. Now that I have no reason to be upset.”

“You’re really not mad about it?”

“Of course not! You’re my friend!” Rarity exclaimed. “But you really must learn some better manners, darling.”
