Equestria High

As Twilight and the girls were getting ready for their sleepover, Twilight just remembered something. "Oh shoot! I'll be right back girls, I have to take out the trash before my dad gets home." She said. The girls nodded, and waited for Twilight. Twilight took the garbage bag out to the corner, and just before she was about to walk back inside, a dark figure tackled her to the ground. Twilight gasped, for it was Lightning Dust and Gilda. "Not this again, this is getting old." Twilight said. Lightning put a hand over her mouth.

  "Shut it, nerd. You're lucky we don't just pick on you right now. No, I think we'll tease you a little bit." Lightning smiled in a menacing manner. Gilda laughed.

  "Oh man, this'll be funny to watch." Gilda snickered. Twilight's eyes were full of fear when Lightning Dust pulled something out of her pocket, a pocket knife.

  "This is going to sting a little bit, but you deserve it, bitch." Lightning whispered in Twilight's ear. Twilight couldn't make a sound, for Lightning's hand was still covering her mouth. Lightning laughed as she brought her knife to Twilight's arm. "Let's do this in a slow manner, so you feel the full pain of it." She said, a wicked look in her eyes. As she was about to, Rainbow Dash ran outside and tackled Lightning. Rainbow Dash was now on top of her, looking at her straight in the eye.

  "That's enough." Rainbow said. "No one is hurting my friend, especially a couple of jerks like you." She said, her anger fuming. Gilda tried to get Rainbow Dash off Lightning, but Rainbow kicked Gilda in the chest, causing Gilda to curse and come back with a clenched fist. Twilight was in shock as her friend was protecting her.

  "Damn it!" Gilda yelled as she missed Rainbow Dash. Pinkie and the others came out to see what was happening.

  "Oh hell no, not this again!" Applejack said as she raced out to help Rainbow Dash. She had her favorite lasso with her, tied up the two attackers, and tied a tight knot. "Now, I don't know what's gotten into y'all, but you'd better stop going after Twilight, she didn't do a gosh darn thing to you." She said.

  "Yes she did," Gilda fumed, "she was born!" Gilda struggled her way out of the knot, but it was no good.

  "Now, we're going inside to call the police and report this, but so help me, if this happens again, I'll personally make sure that Principal Celestia knows about your actions!" Rarity yelled at them. Lightning and Gilda remained silent after that threat. The last thing they need was Principal Celestia to find out what they had done. They'd be expelled for sure.

  "Diva bitch." Lightning Dust spat. Rarity had lost it. She slapped the both of them unconscious, and they lay on the ground out cold.

  "Never, ever, call me that again." Rarity huffed. "I've had enough of these two, Rainbow Dash." She told Rainbow. Rainbow agreed.

  "Agreed, but then why go after Twilight? What do they got against her? Her good grades? How smart she is?" Applejack asked. Fluttershy had been watching the whole time. She wasn't really one for violence. Twilight had gotten up with the help of Pinkie Pie, who wasn't smiling now, but worried. She had bruises all over her.

  "Thanks girls, I'd be in a lot worse condition if you guys hadn't stepped in." Twilight said.

  "It's what friend are for, darling." Rarity said, putting an arm around Twilight and helping her inside. Applejack and Rainbow stayed outside to watch Lightning and Gilda.

  "They could have killed Twilight, or worse." Rainbow said. "I can't believe I was friends with these two." She sighed. "Are they mad about what happened in Gym today?" She asked. "God damn it, even I let stuff like that go, that was just a friendly game of Dodgeball, and yet these two idiots act like it was more than that." Rainbow Dash said.

  "Well, let's not forget prom night is a few months away." Applejack said. Rainbow Dash blushed and looked away. She wanted Soarin Sky to ask her, but she didn't know if he would.

  "Come on, let's go inside and help Twilight out." Rainbow said. Applejack nodded, and followed her rainbow haired friend back inside the house. Outside, the police had arrived to take Gilda and Lightning Dust home. Twilight's mom was going hysterical over what had happened.

  "I'm just glad my Twily is alright." Night Light said over the phone. "Tell her I'll be home in a few minutes, oh and honey? Tell RD and the girls I said Hi." Night Light said. Velvet nodded, and hung up the phone.

  "Your father's on his way home Twilight, you were lucky that your friends were here to help, oh, you have such wonderful friends." Velvet was in tears. Twilight hugged her. "But why would Gilda Hawthorn and Lightning Dust be after you?" She asked. Twilight shrugged.

  "I don't know mom, but with Shining Armor and Cadence at school they won't even think about bothering me." She said.

  "Oh I am so glad your brother took up a job there. He did it for you, you know." Velvet smiled.

  "Shining Armor and Cadence got a job at the school for me?" Twilight said, changing a light shade of red. Velvet nodded.

  "He is such a wonderful brother." She cried in tears of joy now. Twilight did too, and hugged her mom. Later that night, Twilight was fast asleep, and she was dreaming about her and a certain blue hair guitar player......at the prom, dancing the night away.
