The Overreaction

     "Well, that's going to be hard," said Sunset, "I mean all of them sound great and all."

     "Yeah," agreed Rainbow, "But how will we set them up?"

     "Good thing I have my notebook with me," said Sci-Twi, "Plus a pencil and a sharpener." Then she went ahead and drew the tally charts and the show organizer.

     "Good thinking, Twilight," said Sunset as she then turned towards the rest of her friends, "Let's vote. Who likes Fluttershy's idea?" She, Fluttershy, and Sci-Twi raised their hands. "Okay, that's three of us," she said, "Who like's my idea?" She, Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy raised their hands. "Four of us," she said.

     Sci-Twi tallied out the idea chart.

     "Who likes Twilight's idea?" asked Sunset as she and Sci-Twi raised their hands, "Only two of us? Okay then, who likes Rarity's idea?" She and Rarity raised their hands. "Okay? Who likes Applejack's idea?" Applejack and Pinkie raised their hands. "Okay," said Sunset, "Who likes Pinkie's idea?" She, Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow raised their hands. "Wow," she said, "Five of us! That's great! And finally, who like's Rainbow's idea?" Only Rainbow raised her hand. Sunset sighed. "That figures," she said with a disapproving frown.

     Sci-Twi continued tally out the idea chart. "Most of us like Pinkie's idea, then your idea, and finally Fluttershy's idea," she said as she read the results, "The top idea for this year's show is Pinkie's circus idea."

     Rainbow became jealous. "No fair!" she said, "How come Pinkie's idea gets to be a top idea?"

     "Because laughter is the best medicine!" said Pinkie with a smile.

     "You're forgetting one thing," said Rainbow with a stern look on her face, "Fluttershy's afraid of clowns!"

     "I haven't forgotten that," said Pinkie as she was then getting annoyed, "Besides, I'm sure you're forgetting that a circus is supposed to entertain people, not to scare them away!"

     "I already KNOW what the purpose of the circus is!" said Rainbow as she was then getting angry, "It only comes on within a few years anyway!"

     Applejack couldn't take it anymore so she whistled very loudly to get their attention. "Y'all two quit yer fussin'!!" she said as she then turned to Rainbow, "And Rainbow, deal with it! Pinkie's idea won fair and square b'cuz of YOUR additional vote!"

     "That's because I love seeing motorcycle daredevils doing some daring motorcycle tricks!" said Rainbow, "You gotta admit that they're super awesome!"

     "Enough of that!" said Applejack, "Now just drop it, and like I said: Deal with it!"

     Rainbow glared at her of course with anger and annoyance. In the exact same feeling, she clinched her teeth together with hard pressure and her eyebrows were also getting tense. Oh boy, she completely lost her temper. "Drop it?!? Deal with it?!?" she said in her raised voice as she went to Applejack while clinching her fist at her. Then she started to shout at her. "HOW CAN I 'DEAL WITH IT' IF I'M TRYING TO SHOW OFF WHO WE REALLY ARE?!?"

     Her shout made Applejack angry but tried to calm herself down while trying to settle this. "Please don't shout, sugarcube," she said while she was still tensed up, "It ain't THAT much of a big deal!"

     "You know what? I'm outta here," Rainbow said as she walked away from her, "Just to keep my cool anyway." With that, she left the gym.
