The next day Dash was still in the hospital, bored to hell. But the doctors insisted to keep her for observation to make sure there were no lasting damages.

Her parents had been there to visit her yesterday afternoon when they heard their daughter was in the hospital, and came here straight after work. When Dash told them what happened via phone like she did with the others, her parents got furious and told her that they were gonna have a real serious talk with the principals.

So now she was laying in the bed, too bored to sleep, yet too tired to do anything. She still had coughing attacks from time to time and dang were they exhausting.

Suddenly the door opened and her head perked up.

"Hey champ! Thought I'd bring by your bag." Spitfire said as she entered, holding up her colorful bag.

"Thanks!"

Spitfire sat down on the bed next to her and gave her the bag.

"Anything. I'm really sorry about what happened."

Dash stared confused at her. "Why are you sorry?"

"I knew they had something against you but I was too focused on my place in the team that I didn't think they would actually.. do that."

"Hey it's fine. I'm alright, see? And they are gonna be in a lot of trouble for messing wi-" she had to stop for a short lived coughing fit. "With me." She added in a scratchy voice.

Spitfire stared at her with wide eyes. "Are you sure you're alright? Should I get a nurse?"

"No it's fine. Honest. Just still not rid of all the smoke I guess."

Spitfire gave her a sympathetic look.

"Okay.. well I better get to school now." She said, getting up and walking to the door.

The team players all had school starting three hours later for their efforts. And the teachers probably assumed that they would party through the night.

"Hey, wait a sec. Who won after all?"

Spitfire hesitated for a moment.

"Crystal Prep..." she said sadly. Then she left and closed the door.

Over at Chrystal Prep, the girls went to action. They were all freed from school for the day because of the events happening to their friend, knowing very well how none of them would be able to concentrate on classes.

Applejack and Rarity were stealing the girls' backpacks to lure them. Once they were noticed and the girls followed them, they ran to the planned location. Once they reached the closet, they threw the backpacks into it and the girls ran in to grab them.

Once the girls were in, it was easy play. Applejack closed the door and couldn't help the grin forming on her face. She looked over at Rarity, who smirked back and both shared a high-five.

In the air vent above the closet, Pinkie Pie and Sunset were waiting for the girls to get in and the door to get closed. Then it finally happened.

"Show time." Sunset said and both pressed the buttons on the deodorant sprays.

Within a few seconds they heard coughing and yellings of "what's going on?!" "What is this?! Poison gas?!" "We gotta get out of here!!!"

But when they tried to get out, they found the door held close.
On the other side of the door were Applejack, Rarity, Twilight and Fluttershy pressing against the door to keep it closed.

Twilight checked her watch. "Ten seconds." Applejack nodded.

"Three"

"Two"

"One"

They released the door and the two girls inside fell out, gasping for air.

"Oh my god! We're alive!" One exclaimed.

Then they turned to see the girls who locked them in.

"Have you completely lost it?! You can't lock us in with poison gas for ten minutes!!!"

Applejack rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.

"We didn't lock you in, we held the door closed. It wasn't poison gas, it was simple deodorant. And it had only been one minute."

The two girls looked at each other. "Dang that was the longest minute of my life."

"I hope now you see what it's like when you can't breathe. What panic you feel when you notice that the only thing saving your life isn't an option." Applejack said.

"What are you talking about?" One asked.

"While you simply needed to get out of the room, it wouldn't have been enough for Dash. She needs the medicine in the inhaler to breathe again. You could have been responsible for a death if the paramedics hadn't come in time." Sunset explained.

The girls shared another glance. Of course they had wanted to win, but they hadn't thought that there were such big consequences for their actions.

"We're really sorry about what we did.."

"We aren't the ones you two should be apologizing to." Applejack argued.

The girls nodded. "Can we go see her?"

Applejack and Sunset shared a quick glance.

"Come on." Applejack said and motioned for them to follow her.

Author's Note

First of all I want to apologize for the long wait.

Haven't read it through yet so please tell me if you find any mistakes.

And I hope you enjoy nonetheless .-.
