Rainbow Dash and Gilda are alike in many ways. They're both totally awesome at flying. They're both totally hilarious. And, of course, they're the only girls at Junior Speedsters that aren't totally annoying and dumb.

However, Rainbow Dash begins to see how different they truly are when Gilda offers her a taste of the bird she's just caught for lunch. Rainbow Dash doesn't eat other animals, and she knows that Gilda is super gross for doing so—but she'll be damned if she's about to let Gilda think she's a wuss. After all, it's just a stupid bird; what's the worst that can happen?

A short vignette about animals and friendships. Originally written in about an hour for the January /fic/ Write-off, "All In." Rated Teen for some minor grotesque imagery. Thanks to Soge and Bachiavellian for offering some insights.
