The Marine

Word had gotten out between the girls about what had happened between Fluttershy and I. Turns out, Rainbow Dash was watching from a cloud that was not so far away during one of her breaks. She said originally it was for a nap however, I believe it's contrary to what she said. I was back at my house, and I couldn't l be seen with the embarrassment of what Rainbow had done, I just sat in house sulking until I heard a characteristic tomboy voice that kept repeating the words. "OW! OW! OW!" I couldn't be bothered to look out the window though. "FLUTTERSHY WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP!?"

"No, you not only violated the sanctity that was the bedroom, but you also broke his trust. He was going to tell you girls eventually but you were rude about it. A relationship isn't just about sex Rainbow!" Fluttershy scolded. I knew she was serious because she called her Rainbow instead of Dashie.

Soon there was a knock on my door and all I replied with was, "Go away."

"Well, you heard the man- OW OW OW! Okay." Rainbow sighed and then spoke back up, "Mickey, I'm sorry. Spilling the beans about you and Flutters getting together was not something that I should've done and it wasn't my secret to tell. Please you've been in there for two days now and we're worried."

My eyebrows furrowed and stood up, walking straight to the door and opening it looking up at Rainbow. "Yeah, you're right to be worried. After all it took a lot of willpower for me to give myself to another person that way, after spending upwards of 3 years in a forest paranoid as hell wondering whether or not the military was going to come and abduct me in order to strap me down to a table and either use me or experiment on me so I'd say that sorry doesn't fucking cut it. Right now at this point, nothing will so for the time being, tell Starlight that she can stay with Fluttershy because right now I don't want to see any pony face at ALL!" I looked at Fluttershy, "Flutters, none of this anger is directed at you and what we shared that day was beyond magical. I think you understand why I want to be left alone right now." I looked back at Rainbow, "Now you can leave my property before I get really upset and remove you, goodbye Rainbow." I slammed the door and locked it with the 10 locks that were on the door.

Rainbow just looked at the door with tears in her eyes, "H-He's never said goodbye before."

They soon left and I was left alone with my thoughts, the things I have a love hate relationship with. Then I thought up the greatest idea man can ever come up with when dealing with drama. "Fuck this, I need beer." I got up, grabbed my bag of bits and went to Barnyard Bargains. I passed by Sugar Cube Corner and Pinkie nearly broke the door down trying to trail after me but Mrs. Cake yelled at her to get back to work and Pinkie just waved at me. I went inside the store and into the alcohol isle grabbing as many cases of beer as I could and put them into the shopping cart I dragged behind me, and pulled it up to the checkout, I had 12 cases of beer each with 20 beers inside them, 240 beers. I was going to get rid of all of them in a crazy ass bender. I paid for all the alcohol, which was not cheap mind you but I still left with the cart. I looked at Filthy Rich and just said, "I'll return the cart tomorrow."

The owner of the burgeoning chain of grocery stores just held his hands up with no defense. I pushed the cart down the rocky path, shaking the alcoholic liquid that was the load that the cart was carrying. I walked back by Sugar Cube Corner and Pinkie saw all the alcohol and the solemn look on my face. Pinkie looked to Mrs. Cake and pointed out the window at me, with a curt nod Pinkie threw her apron off and tossed it onto a hook in the back and followed me. Looking at all the beer I had in my cart she was concerned, "Wow Mickey, that looks like enough party punch to kill an elephant."

"That's the point of it Pinkie, I want to get rid of as many brain cells as I possibly can in the shortest amount of time. I'm going for a world record." I said sarcastically.

"Is this about what Dashie said?" She asked, "Because we get that you're angry. I would be too if anypony said something about what happens in my bedroom."

"It's not about that, Rainbow broke my trust. I've had it broken once when I got here, I thought I was going to be taken care of but we both see how well that turned out." I said as I pushed the cart in front of my house, I unlocked the door and carried the beer in two at a time until I had all 12 cases in my house. "Now I'm going to see if I can shut down my kidneys and liver at the same time, please leave Pinkie."

Pinkie looked around at my place and then crossed her arms, "No."

"What?" I asked her.

"If you want to drink yourself to death that's fine, you're not going to do it without somepony to at least be there in case you pass out so you won't choke on your own vomit." Pinkie said.

She was giving me little choice in the matter so I had no option but to oblige, because when Pinkie is stubborn, there's no stopping her. "Fine." I opened a case of beer and took out the first can, opening it and stabbing a hole in the top. "Cheers."

I woke up the next morning with a huge hangover, I moaned out and luckily I heard the voice of Pinkie. "Hold on I'm coming!" I heard her hoofsteps make their way upstairs and she opened the door as I rolled out of bed and fell on the floor. "There you are."

"Wut, huppuned?" I asked in a haze.

"You tried to kill yourself with alcohol poisoning, you drank 76 beers in the span of 8 hours. Either you're dead, or you have the hardest working liver in the galaxy." Pinkie stated as she sat me up, propping me up against my bed and setting down a bucket next to me.

"Iz probubly da ladder." I slurred.

"Are you still drunk?" Pinkie asked, I nodded. "Are you still mad at Rainbow?" I nodded again.

Pinkie just wrapped an arm around me and held me. There was a knock on the door and I moaned, Pinkie got up and went to the door, opening it she saw it was Rainbow. "Pinkie? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Pinkie replied.

"Fluttershy told me that I should show up here, everyday and apologize. I have to until he and I get sick of it and then do it some more." Rainbow looked down.

"It's not just about that, his trust is a hard thing to earn. Did you not think about that before you blabbed to us about what he and Flutters did in the privacy of her cottage?"

Rainbow wiped her rose colored eyes. "No, I-I didn't think at all. You know I usually don't."

Pinkie just sighed, "Look, I'm not the one you have to explain yourself to. If you want to do that, go upstairs and follow the sound of vomiting, or the smell of beer. I need to go to work and he's going to drink himself to death if he doesn't have somepony watching him."

Rainbow did exactly what Pinkie had said to do, and found me bent over the bucket I currently had my head in, "Pinkie? Izzat you?" I asked without looking up.

"No, Pinkie went to work..." Rainbow answered and I looked up.

"Oh, iz you." I squinted, "Why are you heer?"

"I wanted to apologize." Rainbow said.

I threw the bucket at her, she dodged but it was the principal of the bucket throwing. "I hate you."

"I deserve that." Rainbow said, sitting down across from me.

"You suck." I said.

Rainbow's pride rose up a little before settling back down, "I do."

"Yer also a terribul friend ta Spike, wut did he doo ta deserve bein' called not a dragon?" I asked her.

"Nothing, but why are you talking about Spike?" Rainbow asked.

"I ain't tellin' you can' keep a secret." I said, "Yer just like r-r- Clothes Pony."

"Rarity?" Rainbow filled in what I was trying to say and I replied with a nod.

"Yer not a good friend Dash." I rolled my head, "At least not ta peepul that are not da girlz."

Rainbow looked at me, and the thing about me is, I have very little filters to begin with. When drunk, I have NO filters. So I'm the fully honest Mickey, Rainbow looked down and said, "What can I do?"

"Bee con sid irate." I slowly said then leaned my head back, "Cause right now, yer a bully."

Rainbow Dash looked up, "I-I wasn't trying to be..."

"Tryin' or not, it huppuned." I slurred once more.

Rainbow shifted over to sit next to me, "I hate bullies."

"I doo too." I then started to chuckle, "I said doo!"

"You're going to have a massive hangover." Rainbow pointed out.

"Yeah, I no." I leaned on Rainbow, "Why did ya doo it?"

"I was...jealous." Rainbow said, "I was upset that you did it with Fluttershy first."

"Yer an idiot. Flutters was there for me all the time, showin' loyaltea an kindness." I said, "She earned and deserved it." My head was beginning to clear and the alcoholic migraine was rolling in. "Aw shit! Can you please get me some water?"

Rainbow nodded and got me a glass of water, I greedily drank it down. I held the cup out to her and she refilled it, this went on for several minutes. "Did you eat anything yesterday?"

"No. I got beer, I drank beer, I went to sleep." I listed.

"I'm going to make you something to eat." Rainbow said as she got up and went to my kitchen. I still sat up against my bed because it was the only thing holding me up. I heard Rainbow clatter around the kitchen and then comeback with a plate full of sandwiches.

I looked at the plate, "None of these have flowers in them do they?"

"They're peanut butter and jelly." Rainbow said.

I took one and started to slowly eat it. Rainbow took one as well, and we sat there eating sandwiches together. The rainbow maned pegasus slowly wrapped her wing around me and I looked at her, she was blushing. "Huh, I didn't know rainbows could blush."

"Uh, yeah they can." Rainbow admitted.

"Also you weren't jealous, you were envious." I pointed out, "Jealousy is worrying that someone will take what you have, envy is wanting what someone else has. Doesn't excuse the pettiness of what you did."

"That was really shallow of me." Rainbow said.

"It was, because you had literally no reason to be envious of Fluttershy. She's your best friend sans Pinkie, and you went and talked about her sex life. That isn't the most loyal thing to do to a friend. That's just being a gossip, I would've done the same with you girls given time. You went from up high on my list to dead fucking last, you're going to have to do a lot to redeem yourself."

"I know." Rainbow looked down at her sandwich.

"But, this is a good start." I smiled.
