Saturday night it was difficult to find sleep. Thoughts were running wild inside her head.

Sighing in defeat she grabbed her phone and went through her photo gallery to take her mind off. She had lots of pictures of herself, with her friends, her team, trophies and her pet tortoise.

Scrolling through the pictures a smile spread upon her face as she remembered each moment.

Suddenly she got a pop up on the top of her screen with a message from 'Unknown'.

"Loser." Was all it said.

She frowned and texted back.

"Who is this?"

The response she got was another insult.

"Failure."

She was now glaring confused at the screen. What in the world?

Another message. "Ugly."

Her brain was busy processing what was going on to think of what to do. What could she even say? Whoever this was was certainly not going to answer her questions.

She shut off her phone and tried to forget about it. But it was all burned into her brain. Fifteen minutes later she gave up and took her phone into her hands again.

When the screen brightened, the display was filled with messages. Each one saying one single word.

"Bitch."

"Die."

"Asshole."

"Retard."

"Cripple."

She stared blankly at the ceiling and dropped her phone.

"Rainbow?" A sleepy voice asked. She turned to see Sunset up, probably awoken by her bright phone screen. Oops. "What are you doing?"

Dash glanced down to her phone. Another message.

"Freak."

She quickly glanced back up to face her friend. "Nothing. Can't sleep is all." She quietly said.

"You wanna talk?" Sunset asked, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Her eyes fell back to her phone screen as another message appeared. "Slowpoke."

She glared and looked back to Sunset.
"I'm fine."

Sunset was confused to say the least. "What's going on?"

"Nothing!"

Another message popped up. "Mistake."

"Show me your phone." Sunset said sternly. She knew blackmailing when she saw it. She would know, having gotten insults and threats all the time after making the biggest mistake of her life.

"It's nothing, really." Dash said.

"If it's nothing then it shouldn't be a problem to show me."

Dash sighed in defeat and handed over her phone.

In the moment when Sunset got it into her hands another message popped up. "Dipshit."

Sunset gasped. She stared at Dash in shock. She had only seen a few of the messages but it was enough to make her mad.
She wasted no time and blocked the number and deleted the chat.

"Don't listen to them. None of it is true." She told her as she gave her her phone back. "Come on, let's get some sleep." She added with a smile.

But sleep was still far from her.

Sunday started with a rain storm. The plants and trees were happy about the water after days of nonstop heat and sun.

"Anyone got an idea what to do?" Pinkie asked, already bored.

The others shrugged. Suddenly AJ's stomach answered for the girls and they laughed.

"How about we make some breakfast first?" Sunset said with a smile while AJ blushed.

The others agreed, even though they let mostly have Pinkie her way in the kitchen.

While everyone was enjoying their pancakes with all kinds of fruits and berries, Rainbow Dash was just picking around with her fork. She still couldn't believe that someone would say that stuff to her. What did she ever do wrong?

"Rainbow?" She looked up from her plate to see all her friends staring at her with concerned faces. "Why aren't ya eating? Is everythin' a'right?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah. Sure."

"Is this about your game tomorrow?" Rarity asked.

"Come on, Dashie! You can beat them with the blink of the eye!" Pinkie yelled.

The girls cheered in agreement, putting a soft smile on Dash's face.

And for a moment, all those nasty words were forgotten.

Later that day the sun came out again and the girls had fun outside in the garden. They were playing volleyball for a while before going into the pool to cool off.

She didn't worry until they hit the bed again. But Sunset was more thoughtful today and slept together with Dash, just so she wouldn't feel alone for even a second. The games made her stressed out all the time but now that the enemy knew about her only weak spot, even Sunset feared for the worst.

But she would make sure that everything was going safe and fair.

If only she knew that that was beyond her control...
