"Stop squirming!" Trixie huffed as Snails wiggled inside the long rectangular box.

"B-but I don't want to be cut in half!" Snails whinned.

"I told you, it's just a magic trick!" Trixie angrily growled. "No one is actually getting cut in half!" Trixie attempted to explain to her dunderheaded accomplice. "Besides you and Snips promised to help me practice my magic this week, so if you had any misgivings you should have spoken up sooner!" Trixie exclaimed as she began to cut the box in half once more.

"Goodbye old buddy. I'll tell yer folks you died honorably" Snips teased as Snails continued to whine, Trixie just rolling her eyes. All of A sudden however the doors swung open and the three instantly looked back at the entrance as they heard them slam against the wall.

"TRIXIE! WE NEED TO TALK!" Wallflower yelled, her voice echoing through the gym.

"Ugg. What do you want!?" Trixie angrily inquired. "Can't you see I'm practicing my act here!?" She stated pointing to the half cut box with a shaking snails inside.

Wallflower seemed to ignore Trixie however as she continued to walk toward the stage until she was just mere feet away from Trixie.

"Tell me" Wallflower growled.

"Tell you what?" Trixie slyly cooed.

"Tell me what really happened between you and Sunset the other night?" Wallflower growled, her teeth now gritted her hand in a fist.

Trixie just retained her sly smile and laughed. "Well.....what do you think happened?'

Sunset shuffled through her closet, it had been ages since she'd been on a date and she had to admit she was a bit nervous. Finally she decided on one of her old favorites. She picked out the Aquamarine dress and matching blue pants, got out the short black leather jacket and high heeled boots. Something cute, but also casual. I mean she had worn it during the Friendship Games so why not now? Though Rarity would probably scold her for wearing something out of season, she thought to herself as she chuckled.

"Tonight is going to be perfect!" She smiled as she headed towards the bathroom to finish getting ready.

"You did what!?" Wallflower growled.

"You heard me!" Trixie mocked.

"I dare you to say that again!" Wallflower threatened, her first up and shaking.

"I FUCKED YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!" Trixie cackled at the top of her lungs.

"Ghuaa, YOU BITCH!!" Wallflower screeched as she lunged towards Trixie. Snails still trapped in his box silent and wide-eyed as he watched his friend get attacked. "L-lets Get outta here!" Snips panicked as he began to cart snails away, magic box and all.

"You Bitch!" Wallflower wailed. "How could you!?" She shrieked as she punched Trixie over and over the light-blue girl laughing the whole time.

"I should kill you....I should..." Wallflower paused as she began to sob, backing off of Trixie and bringing her hands towards her eyes. "Why?" She asked her voice nearly breaking. "Why?"

"Because" Trixie wheezed as she set up, her left cheek quite bruised and right eye notably blackened. "Because I wanted her just like you did." Trixie explained. "I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway because I'm only human...I make mistakes...and...and." Trixie gulped as she too began to sob. "I.....I was just...so jealous, jealous that you were winning" Trixie finally admitted. Wallflower looked up surprised by this admission, but before either could say anything else they heard the gym doors swing open and to their surprise saw Rainbow Dash at the entrance. The cyan athlete rather shocked by the sight before her. On one side of the stage Trixie, quite obviously beaten and bruised and then there was also Wallflower also sobbing, her knuckles scraped and a bit bloody. Rainbow had been in her fair share of scuffs before and it was quite obvious as to who had thrown the punches in this one.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Rainbow Dash yelled as she ran up on the stage and in front of Trixie. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" She growled, glaring at Wallflower as she took a defensive pose in front of Trixie.

"I...I..." Wallflower began to stutter.

"Save it. I don't want to hear it!" Rainbow cut her off. "Trixie. You OK?" Rainbow asked looking back at the blacked-eyed girl.

"Y-yea" Trixie awkwardly stuttered just as confused by the situation as Wallflower.

"Good" Rainbow Dash smiled before turning her attention back to Wallflower. "I don't know what this is about, but you beat up one of my friends and I don't take kindly to that" Rainbow scolded.

"I...no, i... she" Wallflower attempted to explain but only fumbled her words.

"You're lucky that yer Sunset's Girlfriend or I'd kick your ass in 10 seconds flat." Rainbow stated in a deadly serious tone. "Now get out of my sight and pray I don't see you again till next Monday!" Rainbow exclaimed as she gave Wallflower a cold dead stare.

Wallflower just slowly got up and backed away and down off the stage before turning around to run out the door, tears once again forming under her eyes as she ran.

After Wallflower left the room Rainbow turned back towards Trixie to help the girl up. Trixie just looked up at her savior and was in awe. With a slight blush Trixie took Rainbow's hand and let the athletic teen help her back up. "T-thank you!" Trixie stuttered.

"Heh, think nothing of it. It's just what friends do, right!?" Rainbow cockily smiled giving Trixie a thumbs up.

"Oh. Ah...yeah" Trixie replied in agreement. "B-but what were you doing here anyway?" She asked curiously.

"Eh. Left my favorite Soccer Ball in my locker and came back to get it" Rainbow awkwardly admitted. "Then I saw Snips and Snails running down the hall and figured that something must be up." She explained. "So, what was all of that about anyway? Didn't know Wallflower had it in her to punch someone!" Rainbow chuckled.

Trixie just shook in place. "Um....well"

Back in the woods Wallflower set in her garden and wept. "Lies. It was all lies!!" She growled as she dug her hands into the dirt below. "After everything and she still did that...with her!!" Wallflower growled even deeper.

"She's evil....she's rotton....I...I hate her!!" Wallflower sobbed as she picked up a spade and screamed at the top of her lungs as she struck a nearby rock. "SUNSET SHIMMER IS STILL THE BIGGEST MEANIE!!" Her voice echoed as the rock split in half. The spade lodged in the middle, Wallflower staring, her eyes red and filled with rage. Every fiber of her being screaming out for revenge. Meanwhile Sunset was happily headed to the mall blissfully unaware of what had just transpired.
