Previous Chapter

Rainbow 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!
