Friendship's New Flight: Crystal Empire

Rainbow was flying to get to safety, two of her friends were chasing her with the intent on teaching her a lesson. Now she knows how Rumble feels, speaking of whom, he had passed by her while flying.

"Hi Rainbow, where are you off to?" Rumble asked.

"Not now kid! I gotta go!" Rainbow said in a panic.

"Go where?"

"I gotta hide or something!" she flew to a nearby closet.

Rumble looked confused, though somehow this seemed familiar to him, then he looked and saw another familiar sight, an angry Applejack and an angry Rarity.

Rumble looked scared at seeing the two mares. Did they find out about his actions? He grew nervous as they approached him, he knows by now those are the two mares he should never make unhappy.

"Rumble! Where's Rainbow Dash!?" Applejack asked.

Rumble felt relieved they weren't after him, but now wanted to know why they wanted Rainbow Dash. "I saw her zip by a moment ago...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it, we just need to talk to her about something she did that was VERY stupid!" Applejack said.

"Come on, we'll lose her if we stop!" Rarity said and ran off with Applejack.

Rumble was confused and then saw Rainbow come out the closet she's in.

"That was close," Rainbow said.

Rumble approached her, "What's wrong? Why are they chasing you? They're not gonna hurt you are they?"

Rainbow looked into his eyes and nearly teared up, she just realized she cheated on the brother of a colt who looked up to her, now she fears how he'll see her.

Seeing Rainbow Dash get teary eyed worried Rumble, she's always been a tough mare, one of the things he loved about her. Why is she unhappy?

Rainbow then hugged Rumble, "Listen kid, you're gonna hear some bad stuff about me, likely stuff that's true, but the one thing I can be honest with you about is that no matter what happens, just know that I love you very much. You're still the coolest colt I know, and I'm sorry if what I did let you down or hurts you."

Rumble seemed confused and was concerned because Rainbow Dash was actually crying, something he never sees her do.

"I love you too Rainbow Dash", he returned her hug.

She looked him in the eyes, "If you ever get a marefriend, treat her right, love and cherish her, especially if she loves and cherishes you. I'm sure you'll get one soon though, you got several lining up."

"Yeah, I even have a date with Apple Bloom later," Rumble said.

Rainbow smiled, "Good, make her happy, if you pick her, stay loyal."

"Figures I'd hear that from the Element of Loyalty," Rumble said confidently.

That line made Rainbow tear more but she still spoke with a fake smile, "Right, who knows, maybe you'll be The Element of Loyalty soon", she kissed his head, "I love you, I'll see you later, now go work your magic with Apple Bloom, also be careful if you feel urges, mating can be very stressful." Rainbow then flew off.

Rumble was concerned but figured she needed to be alone, besides he needed to go to his date with Apple Bloom, like Rainbow Dash wants him too, first he needed to find Lightning and Trixie.

While Rarity and Applejack were looking they came across Twilight.

"Twilight! Where's Rainbow Dash!?" Applejack shouted.

"Not sure? Why? What's wrong, why are you two so angry?" Twilight asked.

Applejack turned to Rarity, "You wanna tell her, or should I?"

"I'll explain", Rarity cleared her throat, "I'll cut to the chase, Rainbow Dash cheated on Thunderlane"

Twilight looked taken back, "What!? Are you sure!? There must be some mistake!"

"We saw it ourselves Twilight, Rainbow was having sex with Soarin, she was enjoying it too", Applejack said.

"I...I can't believe this...why would she cheat on him? I thought they loved each other...", Twilight said, really at a loss for words.

"Ah don't know if she really loved him, though he did love her, the look on his face was heartbreaking", Applejack said.

"He knows?" Twilight asked.

"He saw it too, the poor stallion was heartbroken, all those tears...", Rarity said.

"He was crying!?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I felt so bad for him, I can only imagine how he feels", Rarity said.

"Ah couldn't bare the sight either, he's such a nice guy, he didn't deserve that", Applejack said.

"No one does, I'm gonna go find and comfort him, you two find Rainbow, but try not to beat her up. I'd like her in one piece when I verbally tear her apart", Twilight saying the last part with some rage.

The two mares nodded and continued to look for Applejack.

With Derpy, she looked around and finally found Scootaloo, "Hey Scootaloo, come here please"

Scootaloo's ears perked up and approached Derpy, "What is it?"

"I need your help, you've been hanging around Rumble right?"

Scootaloo flinched at the mention of his name, "Y-yeah, I have..."

Derpy looked concerned, "Something wrong?"

Scootaloo shook her head, "I'm fine...what was this about Rumble?"

"I'm worried about something, see I told Rumble not to try with Dinky what he did with Sweetie Belle. Though somehow I feel like he ignored the warning, Dinky's been extra giddy lately, so I need to know if you know anything."

Scootaloo thought for a moment, then remembered what Rumble, Sweetie and Babs said and remembered Dinky's name being brought up.

"I think so, he mentioned wanting to sleep with all of us...and he said he wanted to do with me what he did with Dinky, Sweetie and Babs"

Derpy growled, "I knew it, I'm gonna teach that kid a lesson...wait did you do anything with him?"

"Unfortunately yes, not sure why, but I feel so weird about it."

Derpy looked shocked, "Is that why you look so confused?"

"Is it that noticeable?"

Derpy embraced Scootaloo, "Don't worry, I'll talk with Rumble about this!"

Derpy released the hug and went to find Rumble, hoping to teach the maturing colt not to treat this lightly.

Rumble was in Lightning and Trixie's room, telling them about everything.

"Wow kid, I'm impressed, you're really maturing, looks like we taught you everything you need to know," Lightning said.

"Not everything, Lightning, lay down, it's my turn to demonstrate something", Trixie said.

Lightning looked curious but she laid down, Trixie positioned over her, "Rumble, Lightning taught you various sex techniques, however she forgot the one thing that goes with sex, the love."

Trixie started kissing Lightnign Dust with a lot of love and passion. Lightning enjoyed these moments, the times Trixie got to show her love are always the best, Trixie knows how to generate a lot of emotion.

Trixie stopped a moment, "I love Lightning Dust, my sex to her is my way of showing it, the best movements are the ones guided by the heart."

Lightning groaned a bit, "Damn Trixie...why'd you have to make everything sappy?"

Trixie grinned at Lightning, "Cause that's how Trixie does things. Plus Trixie knows how much you like this." Trixie turned to Rumble, "Remember, sex can be fun, but you gotta only go with your heart, try not to make a habit out of making sex just another activity. Pick a mate, or mates if you start a herd, and do this wisely. Trixie suggests at your age you pick one mate, only go for a herd if you're really mature."

"She's got a point, you may be old enough to do this but you still need to start slow, just stay with your friends, don't just mate with any pony. If you need practice, go with ponies you know," Lightning said.

"It's a magical experience, one I love when I'm with Lightning," Trixie said, then moved her hips to further her point. She started doing it with Lightning Dust, just to prove her point and give Rumble a show. The colt is growing up faster than he realizes, Trixie can see signs of him becoming a stallion. His voice no longer as squeaky, he's slightly bigger, almost getting to the size of a fully grown pony, though still somewhat small. Soon he would be so handsome, Trixie kinda hopes he would start a herd, she wouldn't mind being with Rumble.

Rumble watched carefully, noticing the true love and compassion between the two mares, In fact it's similar to what he did to Sweetie Belle that one time, how it felt so great to them because it was guided through passion, now he must try this with Apple Bloom. He does like her quite a bit as well.

"Thanks girls, you've been a great help," Rumble said.

"No problem my young friend", Trixie said.

"Yeah, you're a cool kid", Lightning said.

"Kid? Lightning he's no child, he's a stallion," Trixie said.

Rumble nodded, "Yeah, I am...also since I have experience...can I practice with you two a bit?"

Trixie grinned, "Daring huh? Maybe another time, you're still too inexperienced, and doing it with myself and Lightning could be intense."

Rumble groaned, "Aw...But I feel ready."

Trixie rubbed Rumble's face, "In a couple of years maybe, you'll be the only stallion that myself and Lightning would get near us."

"Trixie's right, I'd like to show you but now's not the time," Lightning said.

Rumble nodded, "Ok then, still thanks for helping me."

Rumble got up and left the room.

"He's a great pony," Trixie said and looked back to Lightning Dust. "Now, Trixie has the chance to be the dominant one."

Lightning looked concerned, "Um, what about the love and affection stuff?"

Trixie went over Lightning Dust, "Why? You love when I get rough, don't you?"

Lightning shrugged, "Well yeah, it's my favorite part but-"

Trixie quieted Lightning with a fierce kiss. She broke off after a few seconds. "Time to show you how Great and Powerful I am."

Meanwhile Twilight was searching around for Thunderlane, "Thunder!? Where are you!?"

She kept looking, "He might be in his room, I'll check there first"

She went to Thunderlane's room, fortunately for her he happened to be there, sitting on his bed and sulking over what happened.

"Thunderlane?"

He turned to Twilight, his eyes bloodshot from the tears, "Hi Twilight", he sounded like he was really depressed.

Twilight approached the bed and sat next to Thunderlane, who barely acknowledged her.

Twilight didn't speak, she instead wrapped her hooves around Thunderlane, hugging him close to her, "I'm so sorry about what happened to you"

"Word get out already? About the poor sap who got cheated on?" Thunderlane lamented.

"No, I just ran into Applejack and Rarity, they told me about what happened, right now they're looking for Rainbow Dash, they seem willing to beat her up for you," Twilight said.

Thunderlane did a sarcastic type scoff, "How nice, now two other ponies need to fight my battles, probably because I burst into tears and flew away. No wonder she cheated on me, I'm not a real stallion, a real stallion wouldn't cry over something like this."

Twilight released the hug glared a bit, "Don't say that about yourself, there's no shame in you crying, you feel like you lost your love, you have every right to shed your tears."

"It's not that easy Twilight, with Rainbow I barely felt like a stallion at times, I only put up with it because I loved Rainbow, but maybe if I had been a little more tough or aggressive then none of this would have happened," Thunderlane said.

"You don't have to change who you are Thunderlane! I like you like this, you're a jock but you're also nice and caring, that's why I took to you so well," Twilight said.

Thunderlane simply glanced at her, then cracked a small smile, "I appreciate you trying to help, you're always so caring, from day one you've been kind, but I'm just not sure how to handle things this time"

Twilight nuzzled him, "I haven't always been nice"

Thunderlane rolled his eyes, "If this is about you saying I would hurt Rainbow Dash, I told you to stop worrying about it, it sounds more like a generalization than an insult to me. Maybe at the time I didn't take it well, so I'm sorry for giving you the impression that you hurt me. I'm honestly not mad, you must feel some guilt and sorrow if you went through the trouble of planning this trip from us."

"Some good that did, I just ended up hurting you more," Twilight said.

Thunderlane shook his head, "It's not your fault, you had good intentions, besides it probably could have happened at any time, she wanted to be a Wonderbolt, for all I know once she got back to the academy, Soarin would have been there."

Twilight still felt some guilt, "I just hate seeing you sad, I wish I could make you happy"

Thunderlane felt sorry for Twilight, he was worried she was gonna take full responsibility for something that isn't her fault, he then hugged her close to him and rubbed the top of her head, "Just being your friend makes me happy, it's an honor that you even wanna be my friend"

Twilight started to blush and hugged Thunderlane again, Thunderlane actually started to feel better, knowing he still had some friends to fall back on, especially Twilight, she just had that charm to her.

Twilight broke away from the hug and looked Thunderlane in the eyes, soon she started to blush, as did he.

"So did I make you feel better?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, a little, it still hurts though", Thunderlane said.

Twilight nuzzled him, "I'll be here for you"

"Thanks Twilight".

They then looked at each other again, then Twilight went in for a kiss, which took Thunderlane by surprise, though he barely fought it. At this point he would take any way to feel better. Soon enough he started kissing back, returning the passion to the Princess. He then laid Twilight down and started kissing her neck, both their eyes started glowing a bit as Thunderlane continued kissing her, making his way back to her face and kissing more.

Thunderlane at this point put reason aside and was simply guided by the urge to cure a broken heart, Twilight simply letting Thunderlane do whatever.

Thunderlane then started feeling aroused as he kissed almost every part of her, from her face, to her neck, to her chest, then her stomach, even her legs a little bit and went to the point where he spread her legs apart, allowing access to her vaginal entrance. He then positioned himself and shoving into her.

This was painful for Twilight at first, but once the pain passed, all she felt was pleasure as she let Thunderlane go to work on her, he was pretty slow yet sensual, Twilight wondered how he faired with Rainbow, who seems like the type to want speed and roughness.

Thunderlane started hugging Twilight while pumping into her and kissed her some more, Twilight returned the embrace and let Thunderlane pleasure her. She loved this feeling, this felt so different than her sex with Trixie that turned into a 3 way with Lightning Dust, Thunderlane was pretty good at this, makes sense given his experience.

Thunderlane wasn't really thinking much at this point, he just followed his urges, to return to Twilight the kindness she showed him.

Twilight huffed and moaned as Thunderlane pumped into her and then pressed his forehead against hers while he pumped and looked straight into her eyes before kissing her some more, adding some tongue to it and continued until he felt his climax coming.

He attempted to pull out but Twilight prevented that and kept him inside her, "Don't you dare!"

Thunderlane simply released in her and collapsed, then he simply laid next to Twilight who nuzzled against him as they both started to rest, Thunderlane was exhausted from the events leading up to this after all.

Meanwhile Rumble went to the Crusaders room to find Apple Bloom waiting patiently, she had been playing with her hair when she saw Rumble.

"Yer here!" she said with a huge smile.

"I did promise you", he trotted to her and sat next to her on the bed.

Apple Bloom smiled shyly at him, "I'm a bit nervous, but also a bit excited, I've been hoping for this day for a long time"

"Then I'm gonna give you everything you've hoped for", Rumble said.

"I should hope so," Apple Bloom said with a blush.

Rumble giggled, "You're too cute sometimes."

The two then engaged in a kiss before Rumble laid Apple Bloom down, "I'm gonna warm you up first", he lowered his head to her regions.

Apple Bloom blushed in anticipation, she had an idea what he was gonna do, she then let out a gasp once Rumble's tongue hit her regions.

Rumble lapped away at Apple Bloom, he was enjoying himself while doing so, so far this has been his favorite activity.

Apple Bloom was breathing heavy already, between the treatment and the colt doing the treatment, it was a lot of great pleasure, and it's just the warm up.

Rumble rubbed her flanks a bit while he pleasured her and stuck his head in deep to get deep inside and really give it to her. His experience was really paying off here.

Apple Bloom's face was full of bliss as she rubbed his head while he gave it to her, and soon she felt a pressure in the lower regions.

"Rumble, watch yerself down there!"

Rumble kept going until he was splashed in the face.

He stuck his head out and smiled, "I liked doing that, I hope you liked taking it"

"Damn right ah did, now lie back"

Rumble looked curious and laid back, Apple Bloom went down to his regions and stared at his rod, "Time to return the favor", he then started pleasuring Rumble.

"Ooooh, this is a new feeling", Rumble said as he rubbed her head.

Apple Bloom stopped a moment, "Thought you might like it", she continued on.

Rumble huffed a bit, he definitely enjoyed this feeling, Apple Bloom worked wonders with her tongue as she bopped her head. After doing a lot of the work, it's nice to be the one receiving the pleasure, not that he didn't enjoy pleasuring the other girls.

"Where...did you learn this?" Rumble asked.

Apple Bloom stopped, "Ah once heard Rainbow Dash do it to your brother, she mentioned this position, plus mah sister gave me the talk some time ago so I'll be prepared fer this."

Rumble nodded, "That's nice," then the sensation returned, "Oh my."

She continued on, doing her best to make sure he feels pleasured.

"Um, Apple Bloom, it's gonna happen, I'm gonna..."

Rumble then released into her mouth, causing her to reel back and gag a bit.

"You feeling ok from that?" Rumble asked, feeling a bit silly.

Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine, that was fun"

Rumble nodded, "Yeah, it was...so ready for the main part?"

Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah, sure thing"

"Good...now lay down please", Rumble ordered.

Apple Bloom grinned and laid back, Rumble positioned over her. Rumble took this time to observe her, noticing how much she herself had changed, no longer a small filly but growing to nearly her sister's size. He's known her a couple of years, so it amazes him how much she's grown.

"Ready for this?" Rumble asked.

"Sure am", Apple Bloom said.

Rumble nodded and inserted into Apple Bloom, causing a painful moan from her.

"Did it hurt too bad?" Rumble asked.

"Give me a moment", Apple Bloom said and after some time and a few breaths, she spoke again, "Ok go fer it"

Rumble nodded and thrusted into Apple Bloom, who then started hugging tight.

"Oh wow! Ah love this!" Apple Bloom said.

"Yeah I know you love me babe," Rumble said with a cocky attitude.

Rumble thrusted more, wanting more of the cute farm filly, while Apple Bloom panted and then looked to his face, "You make the happiest filly!"

Rumble kissed her, "You make me a happy colt"

Apple Bloom then started kissing Rumble back as he pumped into her, something about Apple Bloom felt different than the others, she was soft like Sweetie Belle and Dinky, but tough like Babs Seed and Scootaloo.

Rumble kept going until he felt another release coming, as did Apple Bloom, however they were too into what they were doing and soon both released, Apple Bloom First, then Rumble.

They panted a bit and Rumble gave Apple Bloom another kiss.

"That was so amazing Rumble", Apple Bloom said.

"Same, you're so beautiful Apple Bloom", Rumble said, then kissed her some more. He couldn't help but kiss her, like Sweetie Belle she had a certain appeal to her.

"Soooooo, who do yah like better?" Apple Bloom asked after the kiss ended.

Rumble's eyes shrank, "Uh...you're all good in your own way"

"Yeah, that answer ain't good enough for me", Apple Bloom then grabbed Rumble and flipped around so she was on top.

"Um, Apple Bloom, what are you doing?" Rumble asked.

"Showing you how tough a mare ah can be", Apple Bloom then started thrusting, causing moans of pleasure from Rumble.

"Wow...you really took initiative", Rumble said, moaning a bit.

"Yeah, the others just wanted you to do them. While I wanted you to do me, mah other goal was to do you, if your mah coltfriend, you're just as much mine as ah am yours," Apple Bloom said.

Rumble moaned and panted as he smiled at Apple Bloom.

"I can live with that."

Apple Bloom kissed him and continued to thrust, much to Rumble's enjoyment, she wasn't too bad.

Meanwhile with Twilight and Thunderlane, they were still resting when Thunderlane woke up and noticed Twilight next to him, then everything came rushing back to him.

"Holy crap!" Thunderlane shouted, startling Twilight.

"Thunderlane? What's wrong?"

Thunderlane looked speechless, "We-we just...we just had sex!"

Twilight blushed, "Yeah, I guess we did", she did a nervous smile.

"I can't believe it...I just had sex with you, that's not my best decision!" Thunderlane said in a panic.

Twilight looked offended, "Why do you say that?"

Thunderlane realized his poor wording, "That's not what I meant! You're a very attractive mare and any guy would be lucky to have sex with you, but...number one you're Twilight Sparkle, a princess! Celestia's protégé, not to mention your brother co-runs this kingdom"

"Those may be true, but that doesn't mean I can never have sex with anypony, I'm not untouchable in that regard. Like I said just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I can't enjoy myself," Twilight said.

"Well there's the second thing, I'm still technically with Rainbow Dash, I'm no better than her now, and I feel like I took advantage of you"

Twilight shook her head, "You did no such thing, if anything I took advantage you, I just felt so bad for you and you looked so cute, I couldn't help myself."

Thunderlane's ears perked up, "I looked cute?"

Twilight blushed, "Truth be told Thunderlane, I always found you cute, if you never ended up wtih Rainbow Dash, I would have gone for you"

"Wow really? How long have you felt like that?" Thunderlane asked.

"Since the moment I invited you to Canterlot, since then I've been a little protective of you, hence why I got so mad at AJ when she upset you and your brother, and you remember how nice I was to you in Manehatten making sure you got good rooms. Plus my worry for you during the Rumble problems with The Crusaders and then Lightning Dust, and how guilty I felt when I thought I hurt you when I said that comment to Rainbow Dash on you possibly hurting her."

"So...since that moment I hugged you?" Thunderlane asked.

Twilight nodded, "Yeah, I must admit I wasn't too thrilled when you hooked up with Rainbow, but I knew you two liked each other so I wouldn't interfere on that since I cared that much for your feelings. Hearing Rainbow cheat on you, I'm just baffled, you seem like a great coltfriend, I would never cheat on you like that."

Thunderlane sighed, "I just feel so dumb, I should have seen that coming with Rainbow. She was so unsatisifed with me on occasion, all she cared about was sex."

Twilight hugged him, "I see you for more than that, maybe Rainbow can't appreciate that, but I can"

Thunderlane smiled, "Thanks Twilight...though I still need to work stuff out with Rainbow Dash, no offense to you but I have to see if I can save the relationship, I still have some feelings for her."

Twilight nodded, "That's completely understandable, but if it doesn't work out, I'll be there for you."

Thunderlane smiled at her, "You're an awesome friend, thanks Twilight."

Later on Rumble is seen walking down the halls with a huge smile on his face.

"I'm so lucky to have a filly like Apple Bloom...I really want to pick her, but Applejack said not to pick a girl based off sex...Though it wasn't really the sex that made me like her, it's just being near her, and some of the things she said. I really need to give Apple Bloom a chance, maybe I'll give her an ultimate test, that way I can-"

"Rumble!" he heard Derpy shout.

He noticed Derpy angrily approach him.

"What is it Derpy?" Rumble asked.

"I know you had sex with Dinky!" he shouted.

Rumble sheepishly smiled, "To be fair, she enjoyed it, so you have nothing to worry about."

Derpy growled, "This isn't a joke Rumble! You took my little Dinky's virginity!"

"First off she offered it, second quit acting like her mom, you're her foalsitter," Rumble said.

"Don't give me that, Flitter's your foalsitter and she mothers you!" Derpy shouted.

"No, she's more like a sister, you act like her mom, and so I had sex with her, she's not upset about it," Rumble offered.

"I told you not to do it and you outright disobeyed me!"

"It was one night! Quit being so lame Derpy, let Dinky have some fun!" Rumble complained. "Now I need to go see my friends if you don't mind."

Rumble tried moving but Derpy blocked his way, "I don't think so, we're going straight to your brother and see what he says about this!"

"Derpy, get out of my way", Rumble said.

"Don't you talk to me like that! We're going to see your brother!" Derpy shouted.

"You're not in a position to order me around Derpy! I mean seriously why does everypony still treat me like I'm still a little colt!? Just move out my way" Rumble shouted.

"You keep acting like that and you're gonna regret it!" Derpy shouted.

Rumble started to get frustrated. "Why don't you just buzz off already! Wow is this why you're still single because you're such an annoying pain in the-!"

Derpy then whacked Rumble right in the face, not letting him finish, "Don't you EVER say anything like that!"

Rumble rubbed his face a bit, almost in tears over being hit. Rumble may not be a little colt anymore, but he was still a very emotional pony. Any moment where somepony would treat him like that really nagged at him. "Derpy...why would you do that...I thought you were nicer than that."

Derpy calmed down a bit, seeing the tears in Rumble's eyes made her feel a little guilty but she left him with little choice. "Look, I'm sorry it came to that but I needed to get you to listen to me, now please just come with me so we can talk to your brother."

Rumble shook his head and turned away, starting to feel nervous, his timid nature returning to him.

Derpy noticed his concern, she started to feel a little guilty for what she did. While he acted disrespectfully, he's still very senstitive, just like his older brother has a tendacy to be. She probably could have handled that better.

"Rumble, just come with me, I won't be mad anymore, but your brother needs to know. I get it, you have urges, we've all gone through that, I went through that myself with Doc, now please just come with me and-"

"HEY!" Derpy heard and turned around to see Lightning Dust glaring at her.

"What the fuck did you just do to my friend there you wall eyed twit!?" Lightning asked.

Derpy growled, "You, I bet you're the reason he's been doing this! What did you even tell him anyway!? When I find Princess Twilight I'm gonna-", Lightning had then shoved Derpy to the floor and then started punching her.

"Don't, you, ever, hurt, my, friend!" Lightning said in between punches, much to Rumble's shock.

"Lightning what are you doing!?" Rumble shouted and pulled Lightning away.

"She hurt you, I don't let anypony hurt the ones I care about!" Lightning shouted.

Trixie had approached the area and noticed what happened, "Oh my stars! Lightning what did you do!?"

"She had it coming, she hit Rumble, nopony hits Rumble and gets away with it!"

Trixie looked like she was gonna pull her mane out, "You can't pick fights though! You're gonna get in more trouble with Twilight Sparkle! If she finds out about this-"

"She'll what? We both had sex with her, I'm sure she doesn't want it getting out that she shamelessly took part in a 3 way."

Trixie looked appalled, "You would hold that over Twilight? After everything she's done for you? After how nice she was to you after you got injured!?"

"Come on Trixie, it's how things work, you do what you have to do to stay on top, it's what live by and soon it can be Rumble's," Lightning said.

Trixie's face turned red, "I am so ashamed of you Lightning! I thought even underneath all that brash arrogance you had some decency, you're just a conniving, manipulating brute, and...and...I don't even know if I can be with someone like that."

That hit Lightning hard, "Wait, you're not serious right? So I'm doing some odd things here and there, who hasn't done that stuff?"

Trixie just glared angrily, causing Lightning to panic.

"Come on Trixie, what's the big deal anyway?"

"It starts with this, and for all I know you'll be betraying my trust, hurting me...even cheating on me"

"What? I would never do that stuff, and you know I would never hurt you, you're the most important pony in my life", she turned to Rumble, "I hold you in high regard too by the way", then she turned back to Trixie, "I love you Trixie, I mean it, don't start overreacting."

"Overreacting!?" Trixie turned away, "I need to think things over", Trixie trotted away, leaving a teary Lightning Dust behind. Rumble approached Lightning and hugged her.

"Sorry that happened."

Lightning returned the hug, "It's not your fault kid...it's hers!" Lightning said and turned back to Derpy, "You just HAD to be a bitch didn't you!" Lightning kicked Derpy a once more before storming off.

Rumble looked at the hurt Derpy, he started feeling a bit of guilt. He approached her and rubbed her mane, "Derpy...I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me soon." Rumble then flew off, leaving Derpy groaning in pain.

"I really hate that mare," Derpy complained.

Meanwhile Applejack and Rarity had managed to corner Rainbow Dash.

"Hey back off you two, I don't wanna hurt you, but I will!" Rainbow threatened.

"Rainbow, you have some things to answer to, like why you cheated on Thunderlane!" Applejack said.

"That's none of your business! This is between me and him!" Rainbow argued.

"Rainbow, if he did this to you we would be there for you, but since you did it to him, we have to be there for him", Rarity said.

"Ah told Thunderlane ah would be by his side when he needed me, and he really needs it now!" Applejack said.

"Listen, I just wanna talk to Thunderlane, work something out, I mean I'm only a Pony, I can make mistakes", Rainbow said.

"Damn right you can, this mistake of yours broke a nice stallion's heart", Applejack said.

Rainbow Dash growled, "Why do you care so much anyway!? You treated him like trash when you first met him!"

"Because I was stubborn and foolish, and who was it that convinced me to give him a chance!? You! And now you just cheat on him after all that! Ah thought you two had true love! This is no different than Scootaloo betraying Rumble like she did!" Applejack shouted.

"But I never intended to hurt Thunderlane! I was just curious, Soarin liked me and I figured give him a little something to make him happy, I was being generous, you can appreciate that right Rarity?" Rainbow asked hopefully.

"Don't you even try Rainbow Dash! There's certain limits to Generosity, which includes making sure everypony is happy. All you cared about was satisfying your needs with Soarin, and not how Thunderlane would feel!" Rarity said.

"But I didn't intend for Thunderlane to find out! I figured do it once and that's it, I move on and stay with Thunderlane!"

"And that's what ah like to call 'Dishonesty', whether you intended for him to find out or not doesn't make you any less of a cheater!" Applejack said.

"Listen, I still care about him, and I'm willing to fix this! All I need is about 10 minutes alone with him! Maybe more if I need to, but all I want to do is speak to him, that's all!" Rainbow pleaded.

"You will speak with him, and Twilight, she wasn't too thrilled when she found out, she and Thunderlane are pretty good friends too ya'know", Applejack said.

Rainbow remembered all of Twilight's kindness towards Thunderlane, first about before she and Thunderlane became a couple, and then more recently in an apologetic way, "Yeah, they are."

"Come now, we need you find Thunderlane, and you owe him an apology", Rarity said.

Rainbow nodded and followed the two mares, though hoping to calm the tension she decided to ask an off topic question.

"So...how was your date?"

"Quiet!" both said and kept walking.

Rainbow sighed, "That didn't go well", she muttered.
