It had been an hour since the girls and their dates separated, and they came back together to have dinner at a nearby restaurant, Olive Garden(I do what I want!) They were able to get a big table, with the girls on one side and the boys on the other. The atmosphere had been very quiet, and Rainbow noticed how Fluttershy was huddled up beside Sunset, as if trying to hide. "Um, so ladie, how have your dates been so far?" Silver said, finally breaking the awkward silence.

"Fine."

"Peachy."

"Fun."

"Cool."

"Awesome."

"Interesting."

"I-it was okay." Fluttershy finished out as the others said their answers, a few in a monotone voice. Silver gave out a small nervous chuckle at the answers and just went back to eating his pasta. All of a sudden the waiter for the group walked up, making a few of the girls give an internal sigh of relief.

"I hope you enjoyed your meal, would any of you like any dessert?" Of course Pinkie listed off hers, and a few of the others chimed in as well.

"No thanks, I'm good. Gotta be ready for the soccer game next week." Rainbow said since a game was set between CHS and Crystal Prep.

"Heh, yeah right." Sky Scraper muttered under his breath loud enough for the athlete to hear. She just frowned, but under the table she bent a spoon to where it couldn't be fixed. Applejack was able to notice, and could instantly tell that Rainbow's date didn't go as well as she said.

After the group paid for the dinner, everyone walked out to head back to their houses, while Rarity and Silver decided to continue their date. Rainbow was ecstatic that the horrid date was finally over and wanted to get to her house in an instant, but was cancelled with Sky Scraper beside her, not leaving. "Is there something you need?" She finally asked when they had walked over a few yards from the mall.

"My goodnight kiss." The disbeliever said with a smirk, with just earning a confused look.

"Uh, excuse me?"

"My goodnight kiss, just a little peck." Sky Scraper said placing a hand on Rainbow's shoulder, but it was instantly smacked off.

"No thanks, I'm not interested." Rainbow said while walking away, but her got grabbed stopping her.

"Come on, it's just a little kiss." The guy said, with a slight tone of annoyance in his voice. Rainbow just tried to pull away, but his grip just got tighter and it started to hurt.

"Let me go already." Rainbow said, trying her best to get away. All of a sudden, the guy's grip disappeared and she saw him on the ground, spitting out some dirty water from a mud puddle.

"How'd ya score that tackle, Rainbow?" A familiar voice said beside the athlete, who became happy to see Applejack was the one who knocked down Sky Scraper.

"10/10, and bonus points for the puddle." She said smiling as she and her best friend walked away. "So, we still gonna hangout?"

"Of course, I said I would." Applejack said while giving a small chuckle, causing Rainbow to slightly blush. After reaching Rainbow's place, Applejack plopped onto the couch and smiled. "All right, vent."

"What?"

"Come on, I know you're steaming like a bull. And don't think I didn't see you bend that spoon." The cowgirl earned a sheepish grin from her friend who plopped down beside her.

"You sure, cause I'm gonna rant." Rainbow said with caution in her voice, though humor was glistening in her eyes. "I'd rather just spare you the details, I mean it was pre-"

"Sky Scraper."

"That little bug thought he was a high and mighty captain of the football team! When I told him that I was the captain of all the teams, he thought I was joking, and when I told him again, he said that I couldn't possibly play 'a guy's game.' A guy's game?! Has he not heard of the hundreds of female sports athletes! And then after calling me a liar and basically calling me weak, he thinks 'Oh wow, I've treated this girl like trash, time to get a kiss!' What the heck?!?!" Rainbow said fuming, while Applejack just letting her friend let her anger out. After a few seconds, the athlete realized what had just happened, and sat back down on the couch since she had jumped up in anger. She just stared at her feet blushing in embarrassment that she snapped like a twig, but relaxed when Applejack wrapped her arm around her shoulder.

"It's fine, sugar-cube. We all have those bad dates, and it's just part of life." The cowgirl said while helping her friend calm down. The athlete smiled at her friend's kindness and sympathy.

"By the way, how was your date?" Rainbow said while brushing away her bright colored locks from her face. Applejack froze for a second, but rubbed her neck with her other hand.

"Eh, he was fine. An interesting fellow fer' sure, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't date him." Applejack said while bring both arms to her chest, crossing them to make a point.

"Yeah, like you said, we all have those bad dates. Wonder how Rarity is, she and that Silver dude seemed pretty happy." As if on cue, both of the tomboys' phones went off. They pulled them up to a group chat of the friends to we a new message from Rarity.

'I can't believe it, me and Silver were having a great time! And then he said we should just be friends! How could a dreamboat like him say we should just be friends?! We were perfect for each other, we both loved fashion,we were both proper, we both have a group of friends?!?! What's the difference between us that's makes us friends?!?' The paragraph filled up some of the chat and Applejack just shook her head but stopped when she saw the new message on the chat.

'One of them isn't a complete drama queen.' The comment from Rainbow earned a laugh from Applejack, and her friend quickly joined in the fit. The others posted 'XD's on the post while earning an angry emoji from Rarity, which just added to the to boy's laughter. As they started to control themselves, a few words went through Rainbow's head that seemed perfect for her song.

'You make me laugh and smile everyday'
'Nobody else makes me feel this way'
