This was the big night of the formal, and everyone was getting their dresses ready.

"I don't know Crystal. After everything, I'm not sure I can go to the formal" said Rainbow Dash, as Crystal sat down onto the sofa in Rainbow's room.

"You should Dash. I'll go with you" said Crysal, putting her bag down.

"To be honest, I'm too embarrassed to show my face, after crying in public" said Rainbow Dash.

"Come on. It'll be fun!" pleaded Crystal.

"Fine" sighed Rainbow. They spent the afternoon choosing the perfect outfit, which turned out to be wonderful. And then they got ready for the formal, dressing up, with make up and accessories. Rainbow wore a navy foot-length dress, mermaid tail-style, with ruffle lace at the foot, hair in a elegant bun.

Crystal wore an ocean green foot long gown with pink swirls and lace, and her wavy sea blue hair out of her regular ponytail.

"Wow! You look awesome!" said Rainbow, admiring her friend.

"You don't look to bad yourself" said Crystal, extending her arm,"Shall we?"

"We shall" replied Dash with a smile

The night went perfectly. Rainbow sat with Crystal and some of her friends in her sporting teams. They ate the delicious dinner, taking selfies and photos at the booth.

"Ready to hit the dance floor?" asked Crystal.

"No!" said Rainbow Dash, shivering. It was a C.H.S tradition, for the graduating classes to go around in a circle and dance with every boy in the grade, and for the boys to dance with every girl. And Rainbow was not looking forward to dancing with Soarin after everything that happened.

"Come on Dash. I know you treat Soarin like your mortal enemy, but you like him" gushed Crystal. Rainbow hadn't told anyone except the CMC's.

"I do not!" protested Rainbow, blushing.

"OMG! You totally do!" giggled Crystal, "You can tell me!"

"Fine" grumbled Rainbow, "But I don't want to look uncool in front of him"

"Come on Rainbow. Every girl wants to be you" said Crystal.

"Really?" asked Rainbow Dash, her face brightening.

"Like a week ago, before the incident, no everyone laughs" said Crystal.

"Oh thanks for making me feel sooo much better" said Rainbow sarcastically.

"That's what I'm here for sister" replied Crystal, not picking up the sarcasm, "Come on let's dance"

Rainbow Dash groaned as she dragged her to the dance floor. They danced the night away, giggling and chatting. But then the moment came. Of the partner dancing.

"Everyone line up" called Principal Celestia. The boys and girls got into a circle formation.

"Here we go" groaned Rainbow Dash, as the music started. Everyone aced around, and Rainbow was getting anxious by every second. Soarin was the next boy she had to dance with.

"Here he comes" said Crystal, as Rainbow Dash growled.

"Hey Crash" said Soarin, as Crystal screamed excitedly, "Uh, what's wrong with your friend?"

"She's gone mad" said Rainbow Dash, glaring at Crystal.

"Anyhow, I wanted to tell you. AJ rejected me" said Soarin, accidentally stepping on Rainbow's foot, "Sorry, not a good dancer"

"Great!" said Rainbow Dash. Soarin stared at her, "I mean, she isn't good enough for you"

Crystal made a squeaking noise.

"You really think so?" as Soarin, giving his cute smile Rainbow died for.

"I know so" said Rainbow, moving on to the next boy. Crystal was dancing with Soarin now.

"Don't know what Dash sees in you!" said Crystal, as Soarin stepped on her.

"What?"

Crystal giggled nervously, "Let me tell you a secret- Rainbow has a HUGE crush on you"

"WHAT!" shrieked Soarin. Rainbow stared at them, hearing the shriek, "Seriously?"

Crystal nodded, "That's why she gossiped. To eliminate competition" She moved to the next partner, leaving Soarin dazed.

"I'm feeling really guilty" said Crystal, after the dancing finished, sitting down on the bench.

"Why?"

Crystal chuckled. "I, um, told someone something"

"Crystal, what did you do?" asked Rainbow, afraid to ask.

"I told someone's crush that someone liked them" she said solemnly.

"WHAT!" screamed Rainbow, so loudly birds flew out of trees. She sighed, "Was the crush's name, Soarin?"

Crystal nodded sheepishly. Rainbow panted for breath, "Are you insane!"

"Well, I accidentally said, 'I don't know what Dash sees in you' And then he kind of understood, and I told him"

"I'm doomed!" wailed Rainbow Dash, "Oh, wait, today is the last day of school. He can never make a move. I'll just avoid him tonight"

"Maybe you two should talk, I mean, what if proposes?" Crystal said, batting her eyelashes.

"This is all your fault! Please don't do anything stupid!" pleaded Rainbow.

"Oh, you're no fun," said Crystal, "Oh look, here he comes!" Soarin was walking towards the girls.

"Uh, Crash, can we talk? Alone?" asked Soarin.

"Um, sorry, got to go to the bathroom" said Rainbow, running off.

"I told you nothing" said Crystal, following her friend, as Soarin rolled his eyes.

The rest of the night, Soarin tried to talk to Rainbow Dash, but she made an excuse or ran away. The night resumed, until it was time to go home. Rainbow felt bad for avoiding Soarin, but she couldn't face him.

"So, last day at C.H.S" said Crystal, resting her head on Rainbow's shoulder.

"Yeah. I'll miss you" sighed Rainbow, "I couldn't have survived without you"

"No matter what, we'll always we BFF's. And nothing and no one can change that"

Rainbow felt tears in her eyes. "Darn it! Now you've got me acting all sappy"

"Aw, come here you!" said Crystal, hugging Rainbow Dash,"I just thought of something"

"What?"

"Partners in Crime, PIC!" laughed Crystal.

"Hey, I gotta go do something Crystal, stay here" said Rainbow, touching her geode and zooming off.

"Hello? Are Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo here?" asked Rainbow Dash, knocking at the front door of the barn at Sweet Apple Acres.

"Rainbow Dash? Isn't it the formal tonight? Anyhow, the girls are here tonight" answered Granny Smith, calling the girls.

The CMC's came downstairs, and stared at Rainbow Dash, "Isn't it the formal tonight?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"How could I leave without saying goodbye?" said Rainbow Dash, tearing up, hugging the girls.

"We'll miss you Dash, our favorite client" said Applebloom.

They bid each other goodnight, and goodbye. Rainbow Dash released something walking home. Boys were cute, but they were also trouble. It was best to stay away from them. She was better alone!
