Author's Note

This chapter takes place right after Rainbow leaves Sunset's in the chapter Twilight and Sunset in Sunset Shimmer's Sick Day, and during the chapter The Home Stretch in Pinkie Pie's Chaotic Saturday.

Boredom Makes People Do Crazy Things

Well, that was a thing that just happened. I still can't believe Sunset tried to take her clothes off in front of me! Rainbow Dash smiled. At least she's still a worthy opponent when she's sick. I'd hate to hold back on her because I felt sorry for her. "Okay...so now what do I do?" Rainbow thought aloud. The was starting to set off in the distance, and she was almost sure she heard a party or two in the background. I wonder if I can crash one or both of those parties...Nah. As much as I'd want to, I'd rather not risk getting into trouble.

She took out her phone. "No messages. I wonder how Twilight's doing with Sunset. I know she's the last of us to see her, but I wouldn't mind hearing from Twilight." Rainbow sighed and pulled her eyelids. "Argh, why is so hard to come up with something to do?!" Suddenly, an idea formed in her head. An idea so epic..."So! AWESOME!" she grinned as widely as humanly possible, and set about her task.

Rainbow arrived at her destination, and knocked on the door. Still grinning, she could barely hold in her excitement. The door opened, revealing Principal Celestia. "Hi, Principal Celestia. I have a...proposition for you."

Celestia quirked an eyebrow. "Go on..."

"And that's what I have in mind." Finished Rainbow Dash, still grinning. "There's just one catch, though."

"And that is?" asked Celestia.

"Fluttershy would have to be last, and I'd have to blow your cover." said Rainbow.

"Oh? And why is that?"

Rainbow's grin slowly disappeared and she blushed. "Well...due to a prank of mine backfiring...my friends and I made solemn vow not to prank her. You know how sensitive she can be."

Principal Celestia stroked her chin. "You have a point, there. When would this take place?"

Rainbow smiled. "How about...next Saturday?"

Principal Celestia grinned. "Rainbow Dash, you have yourself a deal." she extended her hand.

"Sweet!" said Rainbow, and shook Principal Celestia's hand.

Oh man, I can't believe she agreed to do that! I was so sure she'd shoot my idea down! Rainbow was giddy. "Now all I have to do is play the waiting game. Speaking of which..." Rainbow looked at her phone. Still no messages? Hmm. Maybe I should check on them. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it, they can take care of themselves.

Still lost in her thoughts, Rainbow bumped into someone. "Oof!" she said as she hit the ground.

"Whoa. You okay there?" said the stranger as he extended a hand.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just zoned out, that's all." Rainbow said as she accepted the stranger's hand.

"Name's Golden Crossbow, but you can just call me Golden. Apparently people bump into me a lot." he smiled and extended his hand again.

"Rainbow Dash." she said as she shook his hand. "You new here?"

Golden smiled. "Yup. Moved in recently to live closer to family. Actually got a tour of the suburbs earlier today."

"Let me guess. Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow said as she smiled while rolling her eyes.

"How'd you know?" asked Golden.

"She's like the unofficial tour guide here. She does that with all the newcomers."

"So you know how I know her. What about you?" asked Golden.

"Oh, we go back to at least Freshman year in high school. We've been through a lot together." said Rainbow.

"So tell me. Is Pinkie Pie always that...eccentric?" asked Golden.

Rainbow laughed. "That's putting it lightly, but yes. It's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie. There's one thing you should know about her, though."

"And what is that?"

"No matter what Pinkie Pie says or does, just keep this in mind: don't question it. Seriously. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to figure her out."

Golden thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, that makes sense. I guess." he shrugged. "Well, I should get going. See you later, Rainbow Dash!" he waved.

Rainbow Dash waved back. "You too, Golden!" Okay, now what do I do? Where do I go from here? she sighed. "BORED. AS. FUCK. You know what? Screw it, I'm crashing a party." She ran towards the coolest-looking party, which was a night rave.

Scanning the crowd, she saw Pinkie, who shouted "DJ PON-3, show me some WUB!"

Oh crap, I can't let Pinkie see me! How do I blend in if my natural hair color is seven fucking colors?! thought Rainbow Dash, racking her brain in a panic.

"Hiya, Dashie!" said Pinkie, who almost immediately noticed Rainbow Dash. "Man, you really stand out in any crowd, don't you?"

Rainbow flinched. "Shit!" Still racking her brain, all she could come up with was "Who ees dees 'Dashie' you speak of?" trying her best to imitate an accent.

Pinkie laughed. "Don't worry, Rainbow Dash. I'll pretend I didn't see you here, so you won't show up in my story!"

Rainbow Dash blinked, then ran to Pinkie and hugged her. "Thanks, Pinkie! I owe ya one!" she said, then grabbed a few light sticks and danced like a madwoman to her heart's content.

Once she returned home, Rainbow Dash was exhausted. "Best. Fucking. Party. Ever!" she said as flopped onto her bed. Wait, what am I thinking? I'm a sweaty mess! She went into the bathroom and took a shower. Now that's how you cap off any day. A kickass party, then a shower. Gotta love the simple things. She smiled as she exited the shower and toweled off. She put her pajamas on, got into bed then stared up at her ceiling. Hopefully tomorrow will more packed with action. Something in back of her mind told her not to tempt fate, but she simply shrugged it off. Eh, whatever happens, happens. I can take it. She yawned and slowly went to sleep.

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes to a battlefield of people brawling each other. A no-holds-barred-everyone-for-themselves-fistfight between what looked to be hundreds, if not thousands of people. Rainbow's eyes lit up. "Oh, fuck yeah! Now my dreams are speaking my language! Ponying up, she ran full speed into the battle, screaming a warrior's battle cry.
