Sonata Dusk shouted out loud as she looked at Pinkie Pie in disbelief. "I know! I couldn't believe it either!" Pinkie Pie chuckled as she bounced up and down with excitement. "Dashie has a boyfriend!!" The poppy pink pony girl continued to excitedly exclaim as her bounce around her once fearsome friend Sonata. "And you're sure, like absoposatuyly sure!?" Sonata asked still in disbelief. "Well maybe not 100% sure" Pinkie admitted. "But like 78.8% sure which is close enough!" Pinkie Pie stated as she gave out a large cheesy smile. Sonata just rolled her eyes. "Fine, then prove it." Sonata dared the cotton candy haired teen. "Let's go down to wherever this guy is and see if he's really Rainbow Dash material!" Sonata smirked. "Okie Dokie Lokie" Pinkie Pie chuckled in agreement as she began to hope off, Sonata taking that as a que to follow the girl as she got up from her chair and began to skip along. Meanwhile At Canterlot City Park. "Huh, nice one" Fleetfoot huffed as she tried to catch her breath. "Ha, don't tell me you're winded already!" Aria mocked looking at the pale blue girl. "Nh-nhaught funny FleetFoot stuttered with her patented lisp. "How whas I supposed to know yhou whould catch on sho fhast!?" The Athletic Wondercolt complained. "Well I told you we sirens are fast learners. "Aria teased as she proceeded to kick the ball up and down in place as to show off. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." FleetFoot wheezed as she went to sit down on a nearby bench and chugged down what was left of her EquiAde sports drink. Aria smiled and went to sit down next to her. "I gotta admit this game is pretty fun, even if it is pretty simple." She sneered as she looked over at FleetFoot, beads of sweat running down the girl's neck and forehead. Her white tank top soaked in sweat exposing her black sported bra. 'Thake Ah Picthure, why don't yea? It'll lhast lhonger!" FleetFoot teased as she stuck out her tongue at her new friend. "Wh-whatever" Aria blushed. "Youre not my type anyway" Aria teased back. "Good cause I'm not into shorties myself" Fleetfoot stated with a caddy smile "Hey! I'm not short!" Aria rebutted, despite knowing her claim to be untrue. "Shorter then me" Fleetfoot noted pointing down at her friend even as the angry pig-tailed girl stood up. "And flatter then me too" she chuckled "though admittedly not by much" the athlete admitted pointing at her own chest which was your average B-cup. "Hmmph, this is stupid, now I need to blow off some steam! Let's play some more soccer already!" Aria huffed. "Though now I'm curious." Fleetfoot stated ignoring Aria's demand. "What is your type?" She asked the short siren sister. "What...why!?" Aria asked rather shocked by this odd question. "Well, I dhont mean to bhrag, bhut I ahm a pretty good mhatch mhaker." FleetFoot smiled. "I did help Spitfire & Shoarin get together afther all!" Fleetfoot excitedly exclaimed. "Sho maybe I can help you find shomebody too!" She confidently stated, Aria just looking on in shock. Uptown "I don't wanna!!" SourSweet whined as she looked over at the rest of the Shadowbolts who were in equally bad moods. "You have to or we won't know the extent of your powers" Sugarcoat stated as she tapped her pen against her notepad. 'Yea, well nobody else has powers that can kill things!!" Soursweet whinned. "And heal them" Sugarcoat added showing her notes. "Yea, but.." Soursweet paused. "But what?" Sugarcoat asked getting rather annoyed. "Wilting and reviving a plant is one thing, but, but this is a living creature!" Soursweet stated pointing at the guenia pig. "Yea, and he's my pet" Sugarcoat stated. "And I say ok." "And I say I won't do it!!" Soursweet shouted straight into her friends face. "Uhh...guys.." Lemon Zest interrupted. "What!" The two shouted as they looked at Lemon who was pointing to the table the Guinea Pigs cage was on. The two looking down noticing that Soursweet's geode was glowing and her hands were causing half the table to rot while the other half began to sprout twigs. "Yaahh!!" Soursweet screeched as she let go of the table and fell back, her geode going back into a dormant state. "I'm a monster!" She sobbed as she curled up into the feitle position. Sunnny Flare bent down and embraced her friend. "Tut tut, none of that" she softly scolded as she patted Sour on the head. "You're not a monster, you re fabulous and unique just like the rest of us darling" she sang as she attempted to calm and cheer-up her dear Soursweet. "So, that's a no on the Guenia Pig experiment then?" Sugarcoat asked her friends. "Dude, Seriously!?" Indgio Zap cackled as she facepalmed "Sugarcoat sometimes I think you're a bigger bitch then Sour's cousin Vignette." Indigo sneered. "Totally" Lemon Zest agreed. "Well, I'll take that as a compliment" Sugarcoat stated as she pushed up her glasses. The rest of the Shadowbolts just rolling their eyes. Back to Pinkie... "I still don't believe it" Sonata exclaimed. "I mean I always thought Rainbow Dash was a lesbian for sure!" The girl awkwardly admitted "Yeah, she gets that alot" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "But nope, Dashie is just a free spirit" Pinkie smiled. "She doesn't do labels yea know." "Right, ok....but I still can't believe she might have an actual bonafide boyfriend!" Sonata said in shock. "Well believe it because its true and we're here!!" Pinkie chuckled as she pointed at the building in front of them. "Maretropolis comics" the sign read as Sonata looked up. "This is the place?" She asked a bit surprised. "Yep, just look inside!" Pinkie squeed. Sonata just nodded in compliance as she did what Pinkie asked. Looking inside the shop window Sonata could see Rainbow Dash, and she appeared to be talking to someone. A taller young man who looked to be in fairly good shape for someone working in such a nerdy place. The boy had brown skin and black/ash colored hair and was wearing a Daring Do style safari suite with a name tag that said "Quibble Pants". Sonats noticed the two talking and laughing, and was Rainbow...blushing!? "I, I don't believe it!" Sonata stammered. "Pinkie was right!!" Author's Note Yay, new story! You know the drill. More soon-ish. Thanks for reading. Next chapter. Cute or saucy, maybe both, dunno! Chapter 2: Of Pies, Skies & Sour GrapesSonata still couldn't believe what she had seen. Rainbow "The Danger" Dash inside a comic book shop flirting with the young store clerk! "This is just too crazy!" Sonata exclaimed once again as to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. "Told yea!" Pinkie chuckled looking at Sonata with a giant smile. "And, you're OK with this?" Sonata asked Pinkie looking rather shocked. "Of course? Why wouldn't I be?" Pinkie asked rather confused by Sonata's question. "I Dunno, I just sorta thought that you kind of, you know...Liked, liked or loved Rainbow Dash or whatever" Sonata awkwardly admitted. "Well of course I do silly!" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "I Love love love all my friends!" The peppy pink girl cheered as she embraced Sonata in a rather tight hug. "N-not what I mean!" Sonata coughed gasping for air. The two's comedic moment interrupted as they heard the store door open as Rainbow Dash walked out. "OK, see yea next week Quibs!" Dash awkwardly chuckled as she walked out of the store and turned around to see Pinkie Pie & Sonata right in front of her just as their embrace was ending. "Uhh....what are you two doing?" Rainbow asked, not sure she really wanted the answer. "Oh, n-nothing" Sonata nervously smiled. "Hiya Dashie, we were just spying on you is all!" Pinkie Pie honestly replied with a bit too much enthusiasm. "Y-you were what!?" Rainbow Dash growled. "Uh, well-y-you see." Sonata began with a gulp. "Pinkie Said you maybe had a boyfriend or something and I didn't believe her so I followed down here and she uh told me to look in the window and..." Sonata stopped looking at Dash who was no red in the face with anger "and i'll be quite now" "Aww, calm down Dashie, we were just curious is all!" Pinkie exclaimed as she wrapped her arm around Rainbow Dash giving the girl a sly look. "Now why don't we hope along to Sugarcube Corner and talk about your hot hunk o comic love over some ice cream sundaes!" Pinkie Pie smirked. Rainbow wanted to interject with a snarky retort but just rolled her eyes, she knew there was never any point in arguing or trying to talk sense into Pinkie. "Fine, i'll go get ice cream with you, but i'm not gonna do any stupid mushy relationship talk, OK!" Rainbow huffed. "OKIE DOKIE LOKIE!" Pinkie Pie smiled as she began to hop off in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow and Sonata just sighing as they followed behind. Meanwhile At SourSweet's house.... "Ugg! I can't believe that SugerCoat!" SourSweet fumed. "She was going to have me kill a cute innocent little hamster!" "It was a Guinea Pig Darling" Sunny Flare chuckled. "That's besides the point!" Sour continued to fume in anger "She doesn't care at all that the rest of us aren't even comfortable with our powers yet and she just wants to do all these weird, stupid tests!!" Sour whinned. "SourSweet, I understand why you are upset but raving on about it won't help anything" Sunny smirked. "Did you take your medication this morning deary?" "OF COURSE I DID! CAN'T YOU TELL!!??" SourSweet growled. "Not Particularly" Sunny Flare replied under her breath before composing herself and looking straight at her agitated ally. "Come here Sour darling, lets get you calmed down, you can't go out and enjoy the rest of your day if you're going to be all huffy" Sunny stated as she motioned for SourSweet to come foward. Sour huffed but complied and laid down on her bed with Sunny Flare. The blue skinned girl just looked down at her furious friend and began to message her temples. "There there sweetie, everything's fine. no one is going to make you use your powers if you don't want to and i'll give them a good talking too if they do" Sunny reassured her lover. "mmm...hmmm" Sour replied becoming more relaxed. She never understood why but since they were children Sunny Flare had been the only one able to calm SourSweet down. Her touch was so gentle and cool, the head massage was just what she needed, she could feel her sour side subsiding for now as she allowed herself to relax and let her sweet side take over. "Thanks" SourSweet smiled. "I really needed that" "Anytime darling" Sunny Flare chuckled. "So what do you feel like doing the rest of the day?" She asked the now docile diva. W-well i'd kind of like to get in the pool" Soursweet blushed. "Oh, sounds lovely darling, i've been itching to see what you'll look like in that new Swimsuite Rarity designed for you!" Sunny excitedly cooed with a wink causing SourSweet to blush once more. Back at The Park..... "So, let me get this straight." Aria began "You want to try to set me up with somebody?" The Short Siren Sister asked her new friend, still rather confused by the whole situation. "Phretty Mhuch!" FleetFloot admitted. "Why?" Aria asked. "Whell because I know we haven't been friends long, but friends are supposed to help each other and sthuff and ah know that you've kinda been depressed that you and your sisters aren't attached at the hip anymore" Fleetfoot stated rather non-chelauntly. "W-what, I have not been depressed, i'm not some little kid who needs to be around her big sister all the time or anything! Besides Adagio is only like, three minutes older then me and Sonata!" Aria angrily blushed. "Fine, suite yourself, forget I said anything" Fleetfoot shrugged. "W-wait!" Aria nervously replied. "I-if you did like maybe I dunno, help me find someone or whatever, would-would they be cool?" Aria awkwardly asked her newest friend. "OH YEAH!" FleetFoof Happily exclaimed, "They'd be the coolest!" She reassured her friend with a confident smile. "OK then, whatever, let's do it. Just-don't make a big deal about it or anything" Aria agreed. "Hehe, you got it boss!" FleetFoot chuckled giving Aria a salute. The short siren sister just rolling her eyes. What was she about to get herself into? At SugarCube corner.... "Wait, so he's not your boyfriend?" Sonata asked Rainbow, still confused by the situation. "That's what i've been trying to tell you two!" Rainbow Angrily huffed. "I mean yea, me and Quibble get along pretty well, and I think he's pretty neat, for a guy." Rainbow smirked. "But we've never asked each other out, so if we aren't dating how can we be a couple!" Rainbow smirked again hoping this would finally put Pinkie & Sonata's inquiry's to rest. "But, you like him....don't you Dashie?" Pinkie Slyly inquired. "Well, yea...i mean no, kinda....ugg, Pinkie why are you doing this to me!?" Rainbow angrily blushed. "Cause i've never seen you have a crush on a real person before" Pinkie chuckled causing Rainbow to blush again remembering the time Pinkie had caught her kissing her Daring Do body pillow. "OK, Fine, I like Quibble! There are you happy!?" Rainbow Pleaded hoping this mushy torture would end. "Hehe, almost" Pinkie deviously smiled. "Almost? She admitted to it? What else do you need?" Sonata asked. "I want you to let me set up you two's first date!" Pinkie Pie squeed as she looked at Rainbow Dash. "WHAT!?" Dash gagged as she spet out her soda right on Sonata's face. "I want you to ask quibble out tomorrow and tell him to meet you at Coinky Dink World and when you get there i'll have everything set up and it'll be the best date ever!!" Pinkie Pie Cheered. Rainbow Dash just looked at her happy friend, paralyzed. This was awful. She was going to have to go on a date with someone before she was ready and Pinkie Pie was going to make it the cheesiest affair ever, as far as Rainbow Dash was concerned her life was over. "Why me" She internally bemoaned. "Why me!" ?????? "That hit the spot" sighed the mysterious cloaked figure in relief as it dropped a rather magical looking stone back down on the ground. "Not what I was looking for but still a powerful magical artifact in it's own right" The shadowy figure chuckled. "Draining it and this little Wallflower of it's magic will keep me saited for awhile." It smirked looking at the unconscious Wallflower Blush below. "And these papers in her back pack. Clover The Clever came to this world once, fascinating! I wonder how much of this world's history has secretly been influenced by it's Equestrian Counterparts?" The being asked itself. "Oh well, for now perhaps best to get back to my search, the three keys won't wait forever!" It stated as it faded back into the darkness, leaving poor Wallflower unconscious in her secret garden. Author's Note Yay another chapter. And wow, Shadowy Figure sure is a jerk. Hey had to explain why Forgotten Friendship didn't happen in this timeline didn't I!? Also SourSweetXSunnyFlare needs more love! Will Dashie's life be ruined by pinkie or not!? You'll just have to wait and find out! well until next time! Same Horse Time, Same Horse Channel! Chapter 3: The Best Laid Planes of Girls & GodessesCoinky Dink World " OK, my boss said I could rent out the building for tommorow night!" Pinkie Pie Cheered looking at a less then enthusiastic Rainbow Dash. "Gee thanks" Dash half-heartedly replied. "Oh, don't worry Dashie, I know you're nervous but just leave everything to Auntie Pinkie Pie and I promise that you'll have the best first date ever!!" The Peppy Pink Pony Girl chuckled. "I'm four months older than you Pinkie" Rainbow Dash huffed at her infuriating friend. "Eh Potatoe Tomato" Pinkie Pie chuckled. Dash was about to correct her friend for messing up the expression and then noticed Pinkie's Siren counterpart was gone. "Hey? Where'd Sonata Go?" Dash asked. "Huh? Dunno." Pinkie replied looking around the restaurant abit before just turning back to Dash and shrugging. Where Sonata Went.... "Ugg. I thought Pinkie was supposed to be the fun one!" Sonata whinned as she walked down the street. All of A sudden though her mood perked up as she noticed a very familiar pair of pigtails. "Aria!" Sonata cheered as she ran towards her sister and gave her a big hug. "Oh Aria it's been ages!" Sonata sobbed as she embraced the shorter siren. "What are you talking about you idiot!?" Aria growled. "We all live at the same place. "Oh yeah" Sonata chuckled as she released her sister from her grip. "So, what yea doin?" Sonata asked with a smile. "Well, ah...you see...." Aria mumbled. "We're going to find Aria A Special someone!" FleetFoot finished. "AHH FOOTFLEET!? YOU'RE HERE TOO!?" Sonata shrieked just now noticing the other girl. "Yhes, and it's FleetFoot" the girl grumbled. "Hehe, yea, sorry" Sonata awkwardly apologized, sometimes you non magic people all kinda fade into the background to me" The Blue Siren Sister admitted. "Duely noted" Fleetfoot huffed. "So ...what was this about you finding my sister a special someone!?" Sonata Snickered. Canterlot High "And you're sure it was stolen?" Principle Celestia asked. "Yes!" Cheerilee anxiously replied. "I pride myself in keeping this library in top shape, even during summer break!" The teacher boasted. "I know no one checked it out before the school year ended and it was here last week when I came to check up on things, but this week. It's just gone!!" Cheerilee shrieked. Celestia looked at Luna as the two walked towards the empty glass case. "That time has been in our family for centuries sister, if it has been taken we must find the thief and destroy them!!" Luna angrily growled. "Now now dear sister, no need for that. I am sure it will be returned to us in due time." Celestia chuckled as she walked back towards Cheerilee. "Thank you for informing us of this Miss Cheerilee." Celestia smiled. "Now why don't you return home and relax, Luna and I will take care of this" Celestia reassured the frazzled educator. "Oh, um..ok" Cheerille awkwardly chuckled slowly backing out of the library. "Really, you're just going to remain calm when our families legacy and secrets are out in the world for any lunatic to read!?' Luna huffed. "Calm yourself sister" Celestia smiled as she walked back to the disgruntled vice-principle. "The First Half is in ancient celestialian, there can't be more then three or four individuals in the entire world other then us who could even read it." Celestia chuckled. "Besides if there is some dark force out there I'm sure our local heroes will take care of it." Celestia confidently stated. "Humph" You place too much faith in those girls sister" Luna huffed as she followed her sister out the door. "Perhaps, sister perhaps. I suppose only time will tell" Celestia teased. Outside SourSweet's House Sunny Flare stretched out her arms and smiled as she took in the late summer sun. "What a beautiful day" she exclaimed with a smile. "S-so, how do I look?" She heard a very familiar voice ask. Sunny looked around and saw SourSweet in her new swimsuit. A cute red print with a pink strawberry print and pink grills on both the top and bottom. The piece had been designed by Rarity to show off the girls rather impressive cleavage as the lower half of the suite accented her lower assets nicely. "You look simply ravishing darling!" Sunny Flare cooed causing Sour to blush even more. "And how about me?" sunny asked. Soursweet just started at Sunny's beautiful form. The purple haired girl wasn't as well endowed as her loved but she was pretty and petite and radiated an aura of classical beauty. Her one piece black swimsuit made her look like a europeneihan super model. "You're absolutely stunning!" SourSweet replied, stars in her eyes. "Haha, thanks" Sunny smiled. "Now lets swim!" She cheered as Soursweet also cheered in agreement. "Sunny, watch me!" Sour whinned as she got up on the diving board. "I'm always watching you darling" Sunny teased in reply as she floated along relaxing on a rather large pool floaty. "Nuh-uh, your eyes are closed." Sour whinned. "Fine" Sunny sighed opening her eyes and winking at her occassionally bipolar bea. "I'm watching" "Good!" Sour stated as she did a flirty pose before backing up a bit and jumping back into the pool. "Oh you're getting me all wet darling!" Sunny chuckled trying as a wave splashed near her floatie. "Hehe, maybe I want to get you wet" SourSweet Teased as she splashed Sunny Flare. "Oh? Is that so?" Sunny smirked. "Well why don't you get up here and so me how wet you think I can get" "That line was so cheesy" sour chuckled as she hopped up on the rather large pool floatie. "Perhaps, but it worked didn't it as the two embraced in a kiss. Sometime later. Sunny smiled as SourSweet snuggled up next to her. The girl falling asleep on the floatie as a good chunk of the pool was now in the shade. "She's so cute when she's asleep" Sunny thought. "Oh who am I kidding, she's always cute." She chuckled as she continued to relax. That is until she heard a sound off in the distance. Sunny opened her eyes and noticed someone, no multiple people had climbed to the top of the brick wall the backyard was protected by. The spikey white haired girl shouted down. "Hey, can we join!?" The other two whom Sunny recognized as Aria & Sonata just chuckling. "What the fuck!?" Sunny shouted. This time it was her turn to be angry. "Back at Coinky Dink World" "OK Dashie, I think I figured it out, the perfect plan for the perfect first date for you and Quibble!" Pinkie happily exclaimed as she hopped around the restaurant. "Yeah, you keep telling me that but how about you actually tell me!" Dash angrily huffed. "I'll tell you after you ask Quibble out!" Pinkie chuckled. "Fine!" Dash grumbled. "I'll ask the nerd out! Happy!?" Dash angrily blushed. "Hehe, yes" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "Don't worry Dashie, you won't regret it. I promise!" "Pfft, yea right" Rainbow huffed under her breath. Pinkie was on a match making spree and Dash knew there was sadly no stopping her till she was done. Author's Note Yay. Another chapter! Sorry the story bounces around alot but I promise their is method to this madness! And yea I know the supposed main story is Just the thin bread on the sandwich at the moment but the actual date will get a full chapter. And don't worry future stories will be more focused. This one is just a way to advance things a bit faster and set some more stuff up. Thanks for putting up with my insanity. See you next chapter!!😁 Chapter 4: Seeking Help From Friends & FoesRainbow Dash huffed as she and Pinkie Pie walked down the street. The peppy pink teen was skipping along as she sang a happy tune. "Oh, isn't this great Dashie!?" Pinkie Pie guffawed with a happy snort. "Yea, sure...whatever" Rainbow Dash replied in a huff. With this Pinkie Pie stopped her bouncing and stared at her friend. "What's wrong Dashie?" Pinkie asked with concern. "Hehe, well..." Rainbow Dash began with a nervous chuckle. She knew she would have to pick her next words carefully as Pinkie could be pretty fragile if you said something about a party she was planning, ecspecially one you didn't want. "....ya see..." Dash continued, Pinkie Pie staring at her intently. "Damn I hate it when she does that" Dash thought to herself "ugh, what is it with people like her and Fluttershy anyway!? They both give you those puppy dog eyes and it makes you feel like your the badguy if...ugg!!" Rainbow mentally moaned. "Dashie....are you ok?' Pinkie asked again. "Yeah I'm fine Pinkie, listen just.." "Just what?" Pinkie asked in excitement. "Its just I'm still a little nervous about all this and I don't think I should ask quibble yet and maybe ask somebody for advice first!!" Rainbow quickly blurted out to get her friend off her back. "Wow. Really!? " Pinkie exclaimed in surprise. "You wanna ask somebody for help with mushy romance stuff!?" Pinkie asked still surprised. Rainbow gritted her teeth. "Well I don't want to but I kinda feel like we might have to, ok" Dash angrily replied. "Oh, ok...well who should we ask ask?" Pinkie pondered rubbing her chin. "Oh Rarity!?" Pinkie replied to herself. "No way! That blabbermouth would tell the whole town & worst of all she'd tell AJ who'd never stop teasing me about it!" Rainbow huffed. "Oh yes, Rarity can be a bit of a blabber mouth I guess. Not that I'm one to talk" Pinkie chuckled. "And I guess since she and AJ are kind of a thing she would probably tell her." Pinkie chuckled again. "Mmm-hhmmm" Rainbow nodded in agreement. "And Fluttershy is to timid to talk about this kind of stuff." Rainbow continued. "Which only leaves.." Dash paused. "Oh Sunset & Twilight!!" Pinkie Pie cheered as she jumped up and down. "Yep, Sunset & Twilight." Rainbow sighed. "So do you wanna call em or should I?" Rainbow began to ask before noticing Pinkie was already talking on her phone. The cotton candy haired teen chuckled as she said "okie dokie lokie" and hung up. "Wow, even by my standards that was fast." Dash awkwardly chuckled. "Yep, Sunset is over at Twiliight's and said we could come over!" Pinkie Pie explained with a smile. "Hehe great" Dash awkwardly smiled back as she continued to follow Pinkie down the sidewalk. Back At Soursweet's House..... Sunny Flare was usually the more reserved of the group. The Shadowbolt that took pride in being much better at keeping her anger in check then her friends. But even she felt the urge to lash out at the interlopers before her. The Canterlot High Clowns had interrupted she and her dear SourSweet's pool time and as far as she was concerned the reason was ridiculous. "So let me get this straight" Sunny Flare scowled crossing her arms her right leg positioned atop her right as her skirt just protected anything risque from view. "You interrupted our pool time, dragged us back into the house where we obviously had to change back into the proper attire as to not ruin this lovely furniture here in the study..." Sunny continued patting the couch. "Just so you could ask us stupid questions about relationship advice?" Sunny angrily inquired. "Uhm....Yhes" Fleetfoot awkwardly smiled at the two Shadowbolts. "But why?" SourSweet added. More confused by the whole event then anything else. "Yea, I've been wondering that myself" Aria interrupted giving her friend FleetFoot the eye. "Whell I know that Your Dean, er Principle Cadence won the Crystal Heart award every year from at Hearts day from Kindergarten till she graduated college. "What's a Crystal Heart Award?" Sonata asked. "Ugh, just some stupid award they give out at the Crystal Fair every year on hearts day" SourSweet replied in disgust. "And yes I guess I do remember something about our new principle winning it every year for a really long time she chuckled." "How do you win something like that?" Sonata asked. Still curious about the whole situation. "Well" Sunny chuckled. "The committee decides to give awards our for different categories. Most Romantic Couple. Most Kind Heart. Most Caring Individual, etc" Soursweet explained. "And yes Cadence, being the ridiculous happy and helpful love bug she is won one so many times they eventually had to require her qualification." Sunny chuckled. "But I still don't see how that has anything to do with us" Flare Finished. "Well I heard that Crysral Prep had more like, humanities classes or whatever now" Fleetfoot began. "And I thought maybe you guys might have learned something we hadn't." Fleetfoot awkwardly admitted. "Seriously, that's it!?" Sour grumbled. Fleetfoot just giving an awkward wave head nod. "Well it's TRUE Principle Cadence has added various Art, Psychology, Sociology, and emotional training classes to our curriculum" Sunny Flare admitted. "Ugg, those emotion classes are soo cheesy!" SourSweet exclaimed. "Tell us how you feel, today we'll learn the importance of empathy. Blharg!" Sour mocked in her best Cadence impression. Sunny Flare just chuckled. "Yes well, they do seem silly at times but I'm sure Cadence has her reasons" Sunny added before turning her attention back to the Canterlot high students with a devious smile. "Very well" Sunny deviously chuckled. "We'll help you." "What? Really!?" Sour and Fleetfoot both asked in disbelief. "Indeed" Sunny confidently smirked. "Now tell me Ms. Aria...what kind of partner are you looking for?" "W-well" Aria began. "She wants someone who's as good at bossing her around as Adagio is!" Sonata blurted out. "Why you!!" Aria angrily growled. "Ahh, so she's a submissive personality. Just like my little SourSweet" Sunny Flare cooed. Causing Sour to blush. "S-sunny, don't tell them that" she emberassly meeped. "Wait I thought SweetNSour was the leader of you guys!" Sonata asked rather confused. "its SourSweet!" Sour angrily growled before Sunny put her hand on the girls leg and gave her a commanding look telling her to calm down. "SourSweet is indeed the leader of The Shadowbolts...when we're at school or out on the town" Sunny slyly stated. "But at home or in bed I'm the one in charge" she sang as she began to creep her hand up and down SourSweet's leg. This time causing everyone in the room to blush a bit. "So Aria, you want us to find you a worthy partner, very well." Sunny smiled. "Sour and I will look into it, I can't make any promises, but if I find any good leads I'll have Sour relay you the info within the week. Sound fair? " Sunny asked as she snuck her hand to SourSweet's behind and loudly snapped the thong SourSweet was wearing under her dress causing the girl to bite her lip as not to let out a small moan from the sensation. "Yea, sure, whatever" Aria quickly and nervously replied doing her best not to stare at the display. "C'mon guys, let's go!" Aria huffed as she grabbed Sonata and FleetFoot and hurried to the door. After the girls left SourSweet just started at Sunny "so we're really gonna help em, just like that?" Sour asked somewhat confused. "If by help you mean purposefully give them the worst results for compatible partners, then yes!" Sunny chuckled. "Oh, now that's just devious!" Sour cooked. "I love it!!" At Twilight's House. Rainbow Dash set Awkwardly in an admitingly nice chair across from Sunset and Twilight. Pinkie Pie set in the chair next to her. Everyone loudly sipped their tea before putting the cups down on the table. "So, you Rainbow Dash want relationship advice?" Twilight asked in disbelief. "Haha, yeah" Rainbow Awkwardly chuckled giving off a small blush. "Well then you came by the right place!" Twilight smiled. "Sunset" she exclaimed, giving the girl a wink as Sunset bent down and picked up a large stack of books. "As you can see Sunset and I have plenty of literature on the subject!" Twilight proudly boasted. "Oh, Goody me" Rainbow sarcastically huffed. This long day was about to get even longer! Author's Note Poor Dash, if only she could be honest with pinkie. And oh no! What jerks will Sunny & Sour try to set Aria up with!? Find out next time. Same horse time, same horse channel!! Super Short Prequel: What's Taking So Long!?A cloaked figure paced around their cave at the edge of the everfree forest looking down at the city below. "Oh Gawd I'm soo bored!!" The figure angrily shouted. "I thought after one of my shadows made that Adagio clone it would trigger some kind of domino effect and I'd be able to find what I needed in no time!!" The mysterious figure huffed. "But noo, all it did was give more of those girls powers after they defeated that dark doppelganger! And I'm no closer to finding the three keys I need!!" It angrily monolouged. "Well fine" it growled "If the last plan didn't work well just take a more....direct approach." It cackled maniacally as it grabbed an old dusty grimoire and headed out into the woods laughing as it ran towards the city below.
Chapter 1: Who Has What!?"Who Has What!?" Sonata Dusk shouted out loud as she looked at Pinkie Pie in disbelief. "I know! I couldn't believe it either!" Pinkie Pie chuckled as she bounced up and down with excitement. "Dashie has a boyfriend!!" The poppy pink pony girl continued to excitedly exclaim as her bounce around her once fearsome friend Sonata. "And you're sure, like absoposatuyly sure!?" Sonata asked still in disbelief. "Well maybe not 100% sure" Pinkie admitted. "But like 78.8% sure which is close enough!" Pinkie Pie stated as she gave out a large cheesy smile. Sonata just rolled her eyes. "Fine, then prove it." Sonata dared the cotton candy haired teen. "Let's go down to wherever this guy is and see if he's really Rainbow Dash material!" Sonata smirked. "Okie Dokie Lokie" Pinkie Pie chuckled in agreement as she began to hope off, Sonata taking that as a que to follow the girl as she got up from her chair and began to skip along. Meanwhile At Canterlot City Park. "Huh, nice one" Fleetfoot huffed as she tried to catch her breath. "Ha, don't tell me you're winded already!" Aria mocked looking at the pale blue girl. "Nh-nhaught funny FleetFoot stuttered with her patented lisp. "How whas I supposed to know yhou whould catch on sho fhast!?" The Athletic Wondercolt complained. "Well I told you we sirens are fast learners. "Aria teased as she proceeded to kick the ball up and down in place as to show off. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." FleetFoot wheezed as she went to sit down on a nearby bench and chugged down what was left of her EquiAde sports drink. Aria smiled and went to sit down next to her. "I gotta admit this game is pretty fun, even if it is pretty simple." She sneered as she looked over at FleetFoot, beads of sweat running down the girl's neck and forehead. Her white tank top soaked in sweat exposing her black sported bra. 'Thake Ah Picthure, why don't yea? It'll lhast lhonger!" FleetFoot teased as she stuck out her tongue at her new friend. "Wh-whatever" Aria blushed. "Youre not my type anyway" Aria teased back. "Good cause I'm not into shorties myself" Fleetfoot stated with a caddy smile "Hey! I'm not short!" Aria rebutted, despite knowing her claim to be untrue. "Shorter then me" Fleetfoot noted pointing down at her friend even as the angry pig-tailed girl stood up. "And flatter then me too" she chuckled "though admittedly not by much" the athlete admitted pointing at her own chest which was your average B-cup. "Hmmph, this is stupid, now I need to blow off some steam! Let's play some more soccer already!" Aria huffed. "Though now I'm curious." Fleetfoot stated ignoring Aria's demand. "What is your type?" She asked the short siren sister. "What...why!?" Aria asked rather shocked by this odd question. "Well, I dhont mean to bhrag, bhut I ahm a pretty good mhatch mhaker." FleetFoot smiled. "I did help Spitfire & Shoarin get together afther all!" Fleetfoot excitedly exclaimed. "Sho maybe I can help you find shomebody too!" She confidently stated, Aria just looking on in shock. Uptown "I don't wanna!!" SourSweet whined as she looked over at the rest of the Shadowbolts who were in equally bad moods. "You have to or we won't know the extent of your powers" Sugarcoat stated as she tapped her pen against her notepad. 'Yea, well nobody else has powers that can kill things!!" Soursweet whinned. "And heal them" Sugarcoat added showing her notes. "Yea, but.." Soursweet paused. "But what?" Sugarcoat asked getting rather annoyed. "Wilting and reviving a plant is one thing, but, but this is a living creature!" Soursweet stated pointing at the guenia pig. "Yea, and he's my pet" Sugarcoat stated. "And I say ok." "And I say I won't do it!!" Soursweet shouted straight into her friends face. "Uhh...guys.." Lemon Zest interrupted. "What!" The two shouted as they looked at Lemon who was pointing to the table the Guinea Pigs cage was on. The two looking down noticing that Soursweet's geode was glowing and her hands were causing half the table to rot while the other half began to sprout twigs. "Yaahh!!" Soursweet screeched as she let go of the table and fell back, her geode going back into a dormant state. "I'm a monster!" She sobbed as she curled up into the feitle position. Sunnny Flare bent down and embraced her friend. "Tut tut, none of that" she softly scolded as she patted Sour on the head. "You're not a monster, you re fabulous and unique just like the rest of us darling" she sang as she attempted to calm and cheer-up her dear Soursweet. "So, that's a no on the Guenia Pig experiment then?" Sugarcoat asked her friends. "Dude, Seriously!?" Indgio Zap cackled as she facepalmed "Sugarcoat sometimes I think you're a bigger bitch then Sour's cousin Vignette." Indigo sneered. "Totally" Lemon Zest agreed. "Well, I'll take that as a compliment" Sugarcoat stated as she pushed up her glasses. The rest of the Shadowbolts just rolling their eyes. Back to Pinkie... "I still don't believe it" Sonata exclaimed. "I mean I always thought Rainbow Dash was a lesbian for sure!" The girl awkwardly admitted "Yeah, she gets that alot" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "But nope, Dashie is just a free spirit" Pinkie smiled. "She doesn't do labels yea know." "Right, ok....but I still can't believe she might have an actual bonafide boyfriend!" Sonata said in shock. "Well believe it because its true and we're here!!" Pinkie chuckled as she pointed at the building in front of them. "Maretropolis comics" the sign read as Sonata looked up. "This is the place?" She asked a bit surprised. "Yep, just look inside!" Pinkie squeed. Sonata just nodded in compliance as she did what Pinkie asked. Looking inside the shop window Sonata could see Rainbow Dash, and she appeared to be talking to someone. A taller young man who looked to be in fairly good shape for someone working in such a nerdy place. The boy had brown skin and black/ash colored hair and was wearing a Daring Do style safari suite with a name tag that said "Quibble Pants". Sonats noticed the two talking and laughing, and was Rainbow...blushing!? "I, I don't believe it!" Sonata stammered. "Pinkie was right!!" Author's Note Yay, new story! You know the drill. More soon-ish. Thanks for reading. Next chapter. Cute or saucy, maybe both, dunno!
Chapter 2: Of Pies, Skies & Sour GrapesSonata still couldn't believe what she had seen. Rainbow "The Danger" Dash inside a comic book shop flirting with the young store clerk! "This is just too crazy!" Sonata exclaimed once again as to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. "Told yea!" Pinkie chuckled looking at Sonata with a giant smile. "And, you're OK with this?" Sonata asked Pinkie looking rather shocked. "Of course? Why wouldn't I be?" Pinkie asked rather confused by Sonata's question. "I Dunno, I just sorta thought that you kind of, you know...Liked, liked or loved Rainbow Dash or whatever" Sonata awkwardly admitted. "Well of course I do silly!" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "I Love love love all my friends!" The peppy pink girl cheered as she embraced Sonata in a rather tight hug. "N-not what I mean!" Sonata coughed gasping for air. The two's comedic moment interrupted as they heard the store door open as Rainbow Dash walked out. "OK, see yea next week Quibs!" Dash awkwardly chuckled as she walked out of the store and turned around to see Pinkie Pie & Sonata right in front of her just as their embrace was ending. "Uhh....what are you two doing?" Rainbow asked, not sure she really wanted the answer. "Oh, n-nothing" Sonata nervously smiled. "Hiya Dashie, we were just spying on you is all!" Pinkie Pie honestly replied with a bit too much enthusiasm. "Y-you were what!?" Rainbow Dash growled. "Uh, well-y-you see." Sonata began with a gulp. "Pinkie Said you maybe had a boyfriend or something and I didn't believe her so I followed down here and she uh told me to look in the window and..." Sonata stopped looking at Dash who was no red in the face with anger "and i'll be quite now" "Aww, calm down Dashie, we were just curious is all!" Pinkie exclaimed as she wrapped her arm around Rainbow Dash giving the girl a sly look. "Now why don't we hope along to Sugarcube Corner and talk about your hot hunk o comic love over some ice cream sundaes!" Pinkie Pie smirked. Rainbow wanted to interject with a snarky retort but just rolled her eyes, she knew there was never any point in arguing or trying to talk sense into Pinkie. "Fine, i'll go get ice cream with you, but i'm not gonna do any stupid mushy relationship talk, OK!" Rainbow huffed. "OKIE DOKIE LOKIE!" Pinkie Pie smiled as she began to hop off in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow and Sonata just sighing as they followed behind. Meanwhile At SourSweet's house.... "Ugg! I can't believe that SugerCoat!" SourSweet fumed. "She was going to have me kill a cute innocent little hamster!" "It was a Guinea Pig Darling" Sunny Flare chuckled. "That's besides the point!" Sour continued to fume in anger "She doesn't care at all that the rest of us aren't even comfortable with our powers yet and she just wants to do all these weird, stupid tests!!" Sour whinned. "SourSweet, I understand why you are upset but raving on about it won't help anything" Sunny smirked. "Did you take your medication this morning deary?" "OF COURSE I DID! CAN'T YOU TELL!!??" SourSweet growled. "Not Particularly" Sunny Flare replied under her breath before composing herself and looking straight at her agitated ally. "Come here Sour darling, lets get you calmed down, you can't go out and enjoy the rest of your day if you're going to be all huffy" Sunny stated as she motioned for SourSweet to come foward. Sour huffed but complied and laid down on her bed with Sunny Flare. The blue skinned girl just looked down at her furious friend and began to message her temples. "There there sweetie, everything's fine. no one is going to make you use your powers if you don't want to and i'll give them a good talking too if they do" Sunny reassured her lover. "mmm...hmmm" Sour replied becoming more relaxed. She never understood why but since they were children Sunny Flare had been the only one able to calm SourSweet down. Her touch was so gentle and cool, the head massage was just what she needed, she could feel her sour side subsiding for now as she allowed herself to relax and let her sweet side take over. "Thanks" SourSweet smiled. "I really needed that" "Anytime darling" Sunny Flare chuckled. "So what do you feel like doing the rest of the day?" She asked the now docile diva. W-well i'd kind of like to get in the pool" Soursweet blushed. "Oh, sounds lovely darling, i've been itching to see what you'll look like in that new Swimsuite Rarity designed for you!" Sunny excitedly cooed with a wink causing SourSweet to blush once more. Back at The Park..... "So, let me get this straight." Aria began "You want to try to set me up with somebody?" The Short Siren Sister asked her new friend, still rather confused by the whole situation. "Phretty Mhuch!" FleetFloot admitted. "Why?" Aria asked. "Whell because I know we haven't been friends long, but friends are supposed to help each other and sthuff and ah know that you've kinda been depressed that you and your sisters aren't attached at the hip anymore" Fleetfoot stated rather non-chelauntly. "W-what, I have not been depressed, i'm not some little kid who needs to be around her big sister all the time or anything! Besides Adagio is only like, three minutes older then me and Sonata!" Aria angrily blushed. "Fine, suite yourself, forget I said anything" Fleetfoot shrugged. "W-wait!" Aria nervously replied. "I-if you did like maybe I dunno, help me find someone or whatever, would-would they be cool?" Aria awkwardly asked her newest friend. "OH YEAH!" FleetFoof Happily exclaimed, "They'd be the coolest!" She reassured her friend with a confident smile. "OK then, whatever, let's do it. Just-don't make a big deal about it or anything" Aria agreed. "Hehe, you got it boss!" FleetFoot chuckled giving Aria a salute. The short siren sister just rolling her eyes. What was she about to get herself into? At SugarCube corner.... "Wait, so he's not your boyfriend?" Sonata asked Rainbow, still confused by the situation. "That's what i've been trying to tell you two!" Rainbow Angrily huffed. "I mean yea, me and Quibble get along pretty well, and I think he's pretty neat, for a guy." Rainbow smirked. "But we've never asked each other out, so if we aren't dating how can we be a couple!" Rainbow smirked again hoping this would finally put Pinkie & Sonata's inquiry's to rest. "But, you like him....don't you Dashie?" Pinkie Slyly inquired. "Well, yea...i mean no, kinda....ugg, Pinkie why are you doing this to me!?" Rainbow angrily blushed. "Cause i've never seen you have a crush on a real person before" Pinkie chuckled causing Rainbow to blush again remembering the time Pinkie had caught her kissing her Daring Do body pillow. "OK, Fine, I like Quibble! There are you happy!?" Rainbow Pleaded hoping this mushy torture would end. "Hehe, almost" Pinkie deviously smiled. "Almost? She admitted to it? What else do you need?" Sonata asked. "I want you to let me set up you two's first date!" Pinkie Pie squeed as she looked at Rainbow Dash. "WHAT!?" Dash gagged as she spet out her soda right on Sonata's face. "I want you to ask quibble out tomorrow and tell him to meet you at Coinky Dink World and when you get there i'll have everything set up and it'll be the best date ever!!" Pinkie Pie Cheered. Rainbow Dash just looked at her happy friend, paralyzed. This was awful. She was going to have to go on a date with someone before she was ready and Pinkie Pie was going to make it the cheesiest affair ever, as far as Rainbow Dash was concerned her life was over. "Why me" She internally bemoaned. "Why me!" ?????? "That hit the spot" sighed the mysterious cloaked figure in relief as it dropped a rather magical looking stone back down on the ground. "Not what I was looking for but still a powerful magical artifact in it's own right" The shadowy figure chuckled. "Draining it and this little Wallflower of it's magic will keep me saited for awhile." It smirked looking at the unconscious Wallflower Blush below. "And these papers in her back pack. Clover The Clever came to this world once, fascinating! I wonder how much of this world's history has secretly been influenced by it's Equestrian Counterparts?" The being asked itself. "Oh well, for now perhaps best to get back to my search, the three keys won't wait forever!" It stated as it faded back into the darkness, leaving poor Wallflower unconscious in her secret garden. Author's Note Yay another chapter. And wow, Shadowy Figure sure is a jerk. Hey had to explain why Forgotten Friendship didn't happen in this timeline didn't I!? Also SourSweetXSunnyFlare needs more love! Will Dashie's life be ruined by pinkie or not!? You'll just have to wait and find out! well until next time! Same Horse Time, Same Horse Channel!
Chapter 3: The Best Laid Planes of Girls & GodessesCoinky Dink World " OK, my boss said I could rent out the building for tommorow night!" Pinkie Pie Cheered looking at a less then enthusiastic Rainbow Dash. "Gee thanks" Dash half-heartedly replied. "Oh, don't worry Dashie, I know you're nervous but just leave everything to Auntie Pinkie Pie and I promise that you'll have the best first date ever!!" The Peppy Pink Pony Girl chuckled. "I'm four months older than you Pinkie" Rainbow Dash huffed at her infuriating friend. "Eh Potatoe Tomato" Pinkie Pie chuckled. Dash was about to correct her friend for messing up the expression and then noticed Pinkie's Siren counterpart was gone. "Hey? Where'd Sonata Go?" Dash asked. "Huh? Dunno." Pinkie replied looking around the restaurant abit before just turning back to Dash and shrugging. Where Sonata Went.... "Ugg. I thought Pinkie was supposed to be the fun one!" Sonata whinned as she walked down the street. All of A sudden though her mood perked up as she noticed a very familiar pair of pigtails. "Aria!" Sonata cheered as she ran towards her sister and gave her a big hug. "Oh Aria it's been ages!" Sonata sobbed as she embraced the shorter siren. "What are you talking about you idiot!?" Aria growled. "We all live at the same place. "Oh yeah" Sonata chuckled as she released her sister from her grip. "So, what yea doin?" Sonata asked with a smile. "Well, ah...you see...." Aria mumbled. "We're going to find Aria A Special someone!" FleetFoot finished. "AHH FOOTFLEET!? YOU'RE HERE TOO!?" Sonata shrieked just now noticing the other girl. "Yhes, and it's FleetFoot" the girl grumbled. "Hehe, yea, sorry" Sonata awkwardly apologized, sometimes you non magic people all kinda fade into the background to me" The Blue Siren Sister admitted. "Duely noted" Fleetfoot huffed. "So ...what was this about you finding my sister a special someone!?" Sonata Snickered. Canterlot High "And you're sure it was stolen?" Principle Celestia asked. "Yes!" Cheerilee anxiously replied. "I pride myself in keeping this library in top shape, even during summer break!" The teacher boasted. "I know no one checked it out before the school year ended and it was here last week when I came to check up on things, but this week. It's just gone!!" Cheerilee shrieked. Celestia looked at Luna as the two walked towards the empty glass case. "That time has been in our family for centuries sister, if it has been taken we must find the thief and destroy them!!" Luna angrily growled. "Now now dear sister, no need for that. I am sure it will be returned to us in due time." Celestia chuckled as she walked back towards Cheerilee. "Thank you for informing us of this Miss Cheerilee." Celestia smiled. "Now why don't you return home and relax, Luna and I will take care of this" Celestia reassured the frazzled educator. "Oh, um..ok" Cheerille awkwardly chuckled slowly backing out of the library. "Really, you're just going to remain calm when our families legacy and secrets are out in the world for any lunatic to read!?' Luna huffed. "Calm yourself sister" Celestia smiled as she walked back to the disgruntled vice-principle. "The First Half is in ancient celestialian, there can't be more then three or four individuals in the entire world other then us who could even read it." Celestia chuckled. "Besides if there is some dark force out there I'm sure our local heroes will take care of it." Celestia confidently stated. "Humph" You place too much faith in those girls sister" Luna huffed as she followed her sister out the door. "Perhaps, sister perhaps. I suppose only time will tell" Celestia teased. Outside SourSweet's House Sunny Flare stretched out her arms and smiled as she took in the late summer sun. "What a beautiful day" she exclaimed with a smile. "S-so, how do I look?" She heard a very familiar voice ask. Sunny looked around and saw SourSweet in her new swimsuit. A cute red print with a pink strawberry print and pink grills on both the top and bottom. The piece had been designed by Rarity to show off the girls rather impressive cleavage as the lower half of the suite accented her lower assets nicely. "You look simply ravishing darling!" Sunny Flare cooed causing Sour to blush even more. "And how about me?" sunny asked. Soursweet just started at Sunny's beautiful form. The purple haired girl wasn't as well endowed as her loved but she was pretty and petite and radiated an aura of classical beauty. Her one piece black swimsuit made her look like a europeneihan super model. "You're absolutely stunning!" SourSweet replied, stars in her eyes. "Haha, thanks" Sunny smiled. "Now lets swim!" She cheered as Soursweet also cheered in agreement. "Sunny, watch me!" Sour whinned as she got up on the diving board. "I'm always watching you darling" Sunny teased in reply as she floated along relaxing on a rather large pool floaty. "Nuh-uh, your eyes are closed." Sour whinned. "Fine" Sunny sighed opening her eyes and winking at her occassionally bipolar bea. "I'm watching" "Good!" Sour stated as she did a flirty pose before backing up a bit and jumping back into the pool. "Oh you're getting me all wet darling!" Sunny chuckled trying as a wave splashed near her floatie. "Hehe, maybe I want to get you wet" SourSweet Teased as she splashed Sunny Flare. "Oh? Is that so?" Sunny smirked. "Well why don't you get up here and so me how wet you think I can get" "That line was so cheesy" sour chuckled as she hopped up on the rather large pool floatie. "Perhaps, but it worked didn't it as the two embraced in a kiss. Sometime later. Sunny smiled as SourSweet snuggled up next to her. The girl falling asleep on the floatie as a good chunk of the pool was now in the shade. "She's so cute when she's asleep" Sunny thought. "Oh who am I kidding, she's always cute." She chuckled as she continued to relax. That is until she heard a sound off in the distance. Sunny opened her eyes and noticed someone, no multiple people had climbed to the top of the brick wall the backyard was protected by. The spikey white haired girl shouted down. "Hey, can we join!?" The other two whom Sunny recognized as Aria & Sonata just chuckling. "What the fuck!?" Sunny shouted. This time it was her turn to be angry. "Back at Coinky Dink World" "OK Dashie, I think I figured it out, the perfect plan for the perfect first date for you and Quibble!" Pinkie happily exclaimed as she hopped around the restaurant. "Yeah, you keep telling me that but how about you actually tell me!" Dash angrily huffed. "I'll tell you after you ask Quibble out!" Pinkie chuckled. "Fine!" Dash grumbled. "I'll ask the nerd out! Happy!?" Dash angrily blushed. "Hehe, yes" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "Don't worry Dashie, you won't regret it. I promise!" "Pfft, yea right" Rainbow huffed under her breath. Pinkie was on a match making spree and Dash knew there was sadly no stopping her till she was done. Author's Note Yay. Another chapter! Sorry the story bounces around alot but I promise their is method to this madness! And yea I know the supposed main story is Just the thin bread on the sandwich at the moment but the actual date will get a full chapter. And don't worry future stories will be more focused. This one is just a way to advance things a bit faster and set some more stuff up. Thanks for putting up with my insanity. See you next chapter!!😁
Chapter 4: Seeking Help From Friends & FoesRainbow Dash huffed as she and Pinkie Pie walked down the street. The peppy pink teen was skipping along as she sang a happy tune. "Oh, isn't this great Dashie!?" Pinkie Pie guffawed with a happy snort. "Yea, sure...whatever" Rainbow Dash replied in a huff. With this Pinkie Pie stopped her bouncing and stared at her friend. "What's wrong Dashie?" Pinkie asked with concern. "Hehe, well..." Rainbow Dash began with a nervous chuckle. She knew she would have to pick her next words carefully as Pinkie could be pretty fragile if you said something about a party she was planning, ecspecially one you didn't want. "....ya see..." Dash continued, Pinkie Pie staring at her intently. "Damn I hate it when she does that" Dash thought to herself "ugh, what is it with people like her and Fluttershy anyway!? They both give you those puppy dog eyes and it makes you feel like your the badguy if...ugg!!" Rainbow mentally moaned. "Dashie....are you ok?' Pinkie asked again. "Yeah I'm fine Pinkie, listen just.." "Just what?" Pinkie asked in excitement. "Its just I'm still a little nervous about all this and I don't think I should ask quibble yet and maybe ask somebody for advice first!!" Rainbow quickly blurted out to get her friend off her back. "Wow. Really!? " Pinkie exclaimed in surprise. "You wanna ask somebody for help with mushy romance stuff!?" Pinkie asked still surprised. Rainbow gritted her teeth. "Well I don't want to but I kinda feel like we might have to, ok" Dash angrily replied. "Oh, ok...well who should we ask ask?" Pinkie pondered rubbing her chin. "Oh Rarity!?" Pinkie replied to herself. "No way! That blabbermouth would tell the whole town & worst of all she'd tell AJ who'd never stop teasing me about it!" Rainbow huffed. "Oh yes, Rarity can be a bit of a blabber mouth I guess. Not that I'm one to talk" Pinkie chuckled. "And I guess since she and AJ are kind of a thing she would probably tell her." Pinkie chuckled again. "Mmm-hhmmm" Rainbow nodded in agreement. "And Fluttershy is to timid to talk about this kind of stuff." Rainbow continued. "Which only leaves.." Dash paused. "Oh Sunset & Twilight!!" Pinkie Pie cheered as she jumped up and down. "Yep, Sunset & Twilight." Rainbow sighed. "So do you wanna call em or should I?" Rainbow began to ask before noticing Pinkie was already talking on her phone. The cotton candy haired teen chuckled as she said "okie dokie lokie" and hung up. "Wow, even by my standards that was fast." Dash awkwardly chuckled. "Yep, Sunset is over at Twiliight's and said we could come over!" Pinkie Pie explained with a smile. "Hehe great" Dash awkwardly smiled back as she continued to follow Pinkie down the sidewalk. Back At Soursweet's House..... Sunny Flare was usually the more reserved of the group. The Shadowbolt that took pride in being much better at keeping her anger in check then her friends. But even she felt the urge to lash out at the interlopers before her. The Canterlot High Clowns had interrupted she and her dear SourSweet's pool time and as far as she was concerned the reason was ridiculous. "So let me get this straight" Sunny Flare scowled crossing her arms her right leg positioned atop her right as her skirt just protected anything risque from view. "You interrupted our pool time, dragged us back into the house where we obviously had to change back into the proper attire as to not ruin this lovely furniture here in the study..." Sunny continued patting the couch. "Just so you could ask us stupid questions about relationship advice?" Sunny angrily inquired. "Uhm....Yhes" Fleetfoot awkwardly smiled at the two Shadowbolts. "But why?" SourSweet added. More confused by the whole event then anything else. "Yea, I've been wondering that myself" Aria interrupted giving her friend FleetFoot the eye. "Whell I know that Your Dean, er Principle Cadence won the Crystal Heart award every year from at Hearts day from Kindergarten till she graduated college. "What's a Crystal Heart Award?" Sonata asked. "Ugh, just some stupid award they give out at the Crystal Fair every year on hearts day" SourSweet replied in disgust. "And yes I guess I do remember something about our new principle winning it every year for a really long time she chuckled." "How do you win something like that?" Sonata asked. Still curious about the whole situation. "Well" Sunny chuckled. "The committee decides to give awards our for different categories. Most Romantic Couple. Most Kind Heart. Most Caring Individual, etc" Soursweet explained. "And yes Cadence, being the ridiculous happy and helpful love bug she is won one so many times they eventually had to require her qualification." Sunny chuckled. "But I still don't see how that has anything to do with us" Flare Finished. "Well I heard that Crysral Prep had more like, humanities classes or whatever now" Fleetfoot began. "And I thought maybe you guys might have learned something we hadn't." Fleetfoot awkwardly admitted. "Seriously, that's it!?" Sour grumbled. Fleetfoot just giving an awkward wave head nod. "Well it's TRUE Principle Cadence has added various Art, Psychology, Sociology, and emotional training classes to our curriculum" Sunny Flare admitted. "Ugg, those emotion classes are soo cheesy!" SourSweet exclaimed. "Tell us how you feel, today we'll learn the importance of empathy. Blharg!" Sour mocked in her best Cadence impression. Sunny Flare just chuckled. "Yes well, they do seem silly at times but I'm sure Cadence has her reasons" Sunny added before turning her attention back to the Canterlot high students with a devious smile. "Very well" Sunny deviously chuckled. "We'll help you." "What? Really!?" Sour and Fleetfoot both asked in disbelief. "Indeed" Sunny confidently smirked. "Now tell me Ms. Aria...what kind of partner are you looking for?" "W-well" Aria began. "She wants someone who's as good at bossing her around as Adagio is!" Sonata blurted out. "Why you!!" Aria angrily growled. "Ahh, so she's a submissive personality. Just like my little SourSweet" Sunny Flare cooed. Causing Sour to blush. "S-sunny, don't tell them that" she emberassly meeped. "Wait I thought SweetNSour was the leader of you guys!" Sonata asked rather confused. "its SourSweet!" Sour angrily growled before Sunny put her hand on the girls leg and gave her a commanding look telling her to calm down. "SourSweet is indeed the leader of The Shadowbolts...when we're at school or out on the town" Sunny slyly stated. "But at home or in bed I'm the one in charge" she sang as she began to creep her hand up and down SourSweet's leg. This time causing everyone in the room to blush a bit. "So Aria, you want us to find you a worthy partner, very well." Sunny smiled. "Sour and I will look into it, I can't make any promises, but if I find any good leads I'll have Sour relay you the info within the week. Sound fair? " Sunny asked as she snuck her hand to SourSweet's behind and loudly snapped the thong SourSweet was wearing under her dress causing the girl to bite her lip as not to let out a small moan from the sensation. "Yea, sure, whatever" Aria quickly and nervously replied doing her best not to stare at the display. "C'mon guys, let's go!" Aria huffed as she grabbed Sonata and FleetFoot and hurried to the door. After the girls left SourSweet just started at Sunny "so we're really gonna help em, just like that?" Sour asked somewhat confused. "If by help you mean purposefully give them the worst results for compatible partners, then yes!" Sunny chuckled. "Oh, now that's just devious!" Sour cooked. "I love it!!" At Twilight's House. Rainbow Dash set Awkwardly in an admitingly nice chair across from Sunset and Twilight. Pinkie Pie set in the chair next to her. Everyone loudly sipped their tea before putting the cups down on the table. "So, you Rainbow Dash want relationship advice?" Twilight asked in disbelief. "Haha, yeah" Rainbow Awkwardly chuckled giving off a small blush. "Well then you came by the right place!" Twilight smiled. "Sunset" she exclaimed, giving the girl a wink as Sunset bent down and picked up a large stack of books. "As you can see Sunset and I have plenty of literature on the subject!" Twilight proudly boasted. "Oh, Goody me" Rainbow sarcastically huffed. This long day was about to get even longer! Author's Note Poor Dash, if only she could be honest with pinkie. And oh no! What jerks will Sunny & Sour try to set Aria up with!? Find out next time. Same horse time, same horse channel!!
Super Short Prequel: What's Taking So Long!?A cloaked figure paced around their cave at the edge of the everfree forest looking down at the city below. "Oh Gawd I'm soo bored!!" The figure angrily shouted. "I thought after one of my shadows made that Adagio clone it would trigger some kind of domino effect and I'd be able to find what I needed in no time!!" The mysterious figure huffed. "But noo, all it did was give more of those girls powers after they defeated that dark doppelganger! And I'm no closer to finding the three keys I need!!" It angrily monolouged. "Well fine" it growled "If the last plan didn't work well just take a more....direct approach." It cackled maniacally as it grabbed an old dusty grimoire and headed out into the woods laughing as it ran towards the city below.
