1. Tips from Tina

Author's Note

First to join up, is one of the popular GLOW good girls: Tina Ferrari.

1. Tips from Tina

Rainbow Dash pases back and forth in her room. She is getting worried about something. Oh, man. I'm getting nervous. What if things don't work out?

"Rainbow," Windy Whistles, Rainbow's mom, called, "somebody here to see you!"

The athletic girl walks nervously downstairs. She then sees a slender woman with curly red hair, and wearing a blue buttoned shirt, white skirt, and white shoes.

"Hello, Miss Rainbow Dash." The woman greeted. 'It's nice to meet you."

Looking at the woman, Rainbow soon recognized her. "No way! Tina Ferrari. I thought it was one of my friends. I didn't expect you."

"Let's have a seat. Then, we can talk."

The two ladies soon sat on the couch. Then, they started their discussion.

"Your mother told me that you were nervous, Miss Dash." Tina said. "What's the matter?"

"I'm trying to think of a way to spend time with fellow Wonderbolt, Soarin' Skies." Rainbow replied.

"Oh, yes. I watched a game with the Wonderbolts soccer team. You guys were pretty great."

"Thanks. But now, Soarin' wants to go out with me. And, I don't know how to enjoy our day together."

Seeing Rainbow Dash getting nervous, Tina placed a hand on her shoulder.

"What time is Soarin' coming over?" Tina asked.

"He should be here in forty-five minutes." Rainbow answered.

"Well, since it's Sunday, I'm sure you two can think of something. Does he like to relax on a Sunday, after spending the day before on a soccer field?"

Dash thought about it for a minute. Then, she gave an answer. "Yeah. Now that I think about it, he tries to think of a way to relax on a Sunday."

This gives Tina an idea. "What do you do when you want to relax?"

"I like to read Daring Do books, hang out with my friends, and sometimes play a round of mini-golf."

"Does Soarin' play mini-golf?"

Rainbow Dash then had a thought. "Yeah! He does. He sometimes plays with the likes of Flash Sentry, Bulk Biceps, and others."

"Then," Tina suggested, "Maybe you two can have a mini-golf date."

Rainbow Dash soon gave out a big smile. "That's a good idea! When he shows up, I'll suggest it to him." She gives a sweet hug to her advisor. "Thanks, Tina."

Tina returns the hug. "You're welcome, Rainbow Dash."

Later at the mini-golf center, Rainbow Dash and Soarin' Skies enjoyed themselves.

"I'm glad that you agreed to this idea, Soarin'." Rainbow praised.

"Not a problem." Soarin' replied as he writes down on his scorecard. "This is a great idea."

"After this game, how about lunch at the Italian restaurant?"

"Sure. I can go for a meatball sub."

As they make their way to the next hole, a thought came to Soarin'. "Say, Rainbow, Did I hear that you got this idea from Miss Tina Ferrari?"

"Yes, I did." Rainbow answered, figuring that she has to be honest. "She thinks that this is how we both can relax on a Sunday."

"I'm not complaining. This is a good idea. I guess she knows how to make romance happen."

Rainbow feels good that Soarin' appreciates the help Tina Ferrari gave her. Good call, Tina.

4. A Loud Time in Town Tonight

Author's Note

The next bad girl to stand out is the musical maniac, Melody Trouble Vixen. Also known as MTV.

4. A Loud Time in Town Tonight

It was a peaceful Friday evening at Sunset’s apartment. After a week of studying and other stuff at school, she is all set for a peaceful weekend. Suddenly, there was a loud singing voice heard from outside as a guitar is being played.

I like rock and roll as much as any teenager. Sunset thought. But, it’s too late for this sort of thing.

Sunset stepped outside. At another area of the apartment complex, she saw a wild woman with poofy hair. She wore a loud lime green top and magenta colored skirt, and playing a guitar very loud. Knowing who it is, Sunset confronted this rocker chick.

“Knock it off, MTV!” Sunset called out. “You’re disturbing the neighbors!”

“Hey, Hey, Hey, Sunset Shimmer.” The girl named MTV said. “I was just rocking the night. You should lighten up, girl!”

“I don’t mind some good rock music. But, you’re causing a racket. And, the patrons of these apartments are getting very disturbed.”

“Disturbed? Bah!” MTV scoffed. “I don’t see anyone else complaining.”

Just then, other people start coming out. The rocker girl saw the angry eyes of them, and got a little nervous.

“On second thought,” MTV said as she turned off her amp, “you might have a point.” She picks up her amp and guitar and prepared to leave. “See ya!”

MTV cautiously leaves the apartment complex. Sunset watches as she feels relief. At that moment, Wallflower Blush comes by as she has a small planting pot in her hand.

“What’s going on, Sunset.” Wallflower asked.

“That crazy rocker, MTV, was causing trouble around here.” Sunset explained. “Me and the other people in this complex had her leave.”

Wallflower was surprised to hear of this individual. “You mean MTV as in Melody Trouble Vixen?”

“You know of her?”

“Who hasn’t? That rocker girl is brutal to say the least.”

Meanwhile, MTV looked at a club while leaving the apartment.

Hmm. This is where that DJ Pon-3 does her routine. MTV thought. I wonder if she would like a partner. I’m a pretty happening DJ myself.

The next day. Sunset, Twilight, and their friends were chilling out at the local coffee place.

“I can’t believe that Melody Trouble Vixen gave you trouble last night.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Indeed.” Rarity added. “She can be very disturbing sometimes.”

“I’ll say.” Sunset agreed. “I thought she’d never leave.”

“Don’t worry, Sunset.” Twilight assured. “The people at your apartment complex will probably make sure that MTV won’t cause you anymore problems.”

At another table, Vinyl Scratch, alias DJ Pon-3, heard the conversation.

Melody Trouble Vixen. So that’s the name of the girl who helped me last night. Vinyl thought. I was wondering what MTV stood for in this case.

5. A Pretty Zodiac Picture

Author's Note

Avid photographer, Photo Finish is going to have some unexpected inspiration from a known GLOW wrestler, Ebony.

5. A Pretty Zodiac Picture

Sitting on a park bench, avid photographer, Photo Finish, looks through a magazine to get some ideas for her next project.

This is a true head scratcher. Photo was thinking. What can I do?

Just then, an African American woman wearing a white top, black spandex shorts, and blue sneakers was jogging on this warm sunny day when she saw Photo. She then decided to say hello.

“Good morning, Miss Photo Finish.” The kind woman greeted.

Photo Finish looked at the woman, and is surprised. “Ebony! This is indeed an honor to meet a GLOW veteran.”

The comment made Ebony giggle a little. “GLOW veteran. I like the sound of that.” She then looked at the magazine. “What’s on your mind?”

“I’m looking for some ideas for a new photography project.” Photo explained. “But, I can’t figure anything out!” The photographer started to get upset. “Unless you have any ideas.”

Ebony soon saw some fish swimming in a pond. Then, she got an idea. “Hey, Photo. Take a picture of those fish. I think I have an idea.”

Taking Ebony’s advice, Photo went to the pond, and took a quick shot. When the two ladies saw the picture of two fish swimming. Ebony was very pleased. “Cool. A perfect picture for Pisces, the fish.”

Photo then realized Ebony’s idea. “I get it. A tribute to the 12 signs of the Zodiac.”

“That’s right.” Ebony cheered. “Let’s start off with the animals. There are plenty of them in the Zodiac.”

Photo and Ebony start of at a petting zoo. Photo snapped a picture of a goat. Ebony checked of a list she made. “Okay, that covers Capricorn, the goat.”

Next stop is a zoo. Photo first took a picture of a bull walking proudly. “That’s perfect for Taurus, the bull.”

Ebony checked off her list as they make there way to see a majestic lion.

“Smile for the camera, Leo.” Photo said as she took the picture.

Next, the photographer took a picture of a long horned sheep. Ebony saw curly horns on this animal. “Great shot, Photo. That’s a perfect symbol for Aries, the ram.”

At another area, they saw some scorpions behind plate glass. Photo saw a beautiful black scorpion, and took the picture. “That covers Scorpio, the scorpion.”

“Cool.” Ebony added. “Our mission is half way done.”

The ladies went to the beach to continue their mission.

“It’s truly a grand beach day.” Photo noticed.

“I agree.” Ebony said. “All we need now is to find a crab. Then, Cancer will be covered.”

Just then, Photo saw a crab crawling on the sand. Being careful, she took her picture, and is very pleased. Later, Ebony brought a hot pretzel for her and Photo to share.

“Hello, Ebony.” Photo said as she saw her arrive. “Look what I took a picture of.”

Looking at the camera, Ebony saw a picture of scales from the window of an antique store.

“Great shot, Photo!” Ebony praised. “That covers Libra, the scales.”

“Yes. This leaves four signs left. Aquarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius. Any suggestions?”

“We can gather some volunteers and have them come to your studio. I’m sure they’ll support your project.”

“Good thinking. I’m glad that you and I are working together.”

Later, at her studio, Photo had some of her friends to pose for her. Wearing a toga, Rarity represented Virgo, the virgin. Dressed as an archer, Sandalwood represented Sagittarius, the archer. Wearing a wetsuit and carting a jug, Octavia represented Aquarius, the water bearer. And, Photo’s own assistants, Violet Blur and Pixel Pizzazz, dressed up to represent Gemini, the twins.

After the pictures are developed, Photo Finish and Ebony are very pleased.

“These pictures turned out well!” Photo cheered. “Thanks to your inspiration, Ebony.”

“Just glad to help.” Ebony said happily. She then makes her way to the door. “Right now, as you would say, ‘I go’.”

Ebony left the studio. Photo was very pleased that she helped out.

6. Dark Magic Time

Author's Note

It’s magic time as Trixie is joined by The Princess of Darkness .

6. Dark Magic Time

On the streets of Canterlot City, Trixie Lulamoon, also known as The Great and Powerful Trixie, is hosting another magic show.

“Behold, the Great and Powerful Trixie will baffle your feeble minds with something different.” Trixie announced. “I would like a volunteer from the audience to assist me.”

Sure enough, Flash Sentry steps up to the stage.

“What are you up to now, Trixie?” Flash asked.

“You’re about to be hypnotized by a special guest.” Trixie informed as she turns back to the audience. “Ladies and gentlemen, The Princess of Darkness!”

Suddenly, a smoke bomb exploded, and from the smoke, a masked woman wearing a black outfit and a flowing cape steps out. Everybody gasped at the sight of this creepy woman.

“Hello, fools.” P.O.D. said. “You’re about to see a sample of my dark magic.”

“Yeah, right.” Flash said sarcastically. “I don’t believe it!”

“Let’s see if you still scoff after this.” The Princess of Darkness takes out a bone like wand and waves it in front of Flash. “You are now a gorilla. Understand? A gorilla!”

With a red flash from her wand, Flash bent down and started grunting like a gorilla. He then moves about, astonishing the audience. Next, he climbs a telephone pole, stopping halfway. The audience cheered for this performance.

“That was fantastic!” Octavia cheered as she was videotaping the whole thing.

“They love it!” Trixie said pleasingly. “But, how will he become normal again?”

“Not a problem.” Princess of Darkness said as she turns to the hypnotized boy. “Flash, come to me.”

Hearing the P.O.D.’s command, Flash climbed down the pole and returned to the stage.

“All that’s needed is a bright flash to snap him out of it.” P.O.D. informed. “Like a flash from your smartphone perhaps.”

“Good idea.” Trixie replied.

Getting out her smartphone, Trixie got Flash’s attention, then snapped a picture. Seconds later, Flash recovered.

“Whoa. I had the strangest dream.” Flash said, still woozy. “I dreamt that I was acting like a gorilla.”

“It was no dream.” Trixie said. “Octavia has proof.”

After the show was over, Octavia showed Flash the footage she shot.

“Did I really do that?” Flash wondered.

“Yes, you did.” Octavia replied. “Trixie’s friend had you hypnotized good. All that was missing is you being fed a banana.”

Flash giggled a little, knowing that was indeed a good trick. “I’ll never doubt anybody like the Princess of Darkness again. That black clad lady is full of tricks.”

While packing up her set, Trixie felt pleased that the hypnosis act went well.

“That went pretty well.” The Princess of Darkness said as she walked towards Trixie. “Flash Sentry will probably have some crazy dreams after this.”

“Indeed he will.” Trixie replied.

The two magic ladies shook hands, satisfied with the act going well.

8. Helping Nature

Author's Note

Time for all seven Rainbooms to confront the vicious jungle warriors, Jungle Woman and The Headhunters.

8. Helping Nature

It was a beautiful morning at a wildlife reserve. However, things are not so peaceful. There are reports that the animals are being disturbed. Being a nature lover, Fluttershy volunteers to check it out. Her six fellow Rainbooms went with her.

“Are you sure about this, Flutters?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I’m sure.” Fluttershy said. “I may be timid and gentle most of the time. But, I don’t like it when innocent animals are threatened!”

“That’s when you get your angry face on.” Pinkie Pie figured. “Right?”

“That’s right, Pinkie.”

Just then, they heard the sound of animals being agitated.

“Sounds like something going on.” Twilight Sparkle said with concern. “Which way, Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy listened carefully. Then, she pointed to the direction of a forest area. “This way!”

The seven girls followed the sounds as they went into the forest. Soon, they saw the source of the disturbance. Seems like three woman wearing brown tops and bottoms, made from animal skin, waved spears to scare the animals.

These women are each a different skin tone. From light brown to dark brown. They have on tribal face paint. And, they yell some scary chants.

“Are these ladies cosplayers?” Rarity asked.

Applejack soon got angry. “Cosplayers, nothin’. It’s The Headhunters!”

“Headhunters?!” Pinkie gasped.

“You mean Meena, Mika, and their leader, Manna?” Dash said.

“That’s them.” Applejack added.

Hearing the voices, the Headhunters turned and faced the girls.

“What are you three jungle natives doing here?” Sunset Shimmer asked with authority.

Manna spoke in her native tongue. After she was finished, Meena translates the message. “Our leader say we come to hunt animals. Many animals here.”

“But, this is a wildlife reserve.” Fluttershy explained. “These animals are being kept safe from poachers.” Fluttershy got angry. “Especially the likes of you!”

Mika then spoke up. “It not matter. This place perfect for our hunting skills.”

“Don’t worry, guys.” Twilight said. “I’m sure we can handle these three natives.”

“Three?” A mysterious female voice said. Out steps a woman with wavy black hair and wearing a jungle outfit similar to the Headhunters. But, her outfit is deep blue. “Make that four.”

Sunset Shimmer recognizes the native. “Jungle Woman! This is a surprise.”

“You said it, Sunset.” Dash added. “First time I see this team up.”

Twilight looks at the four jungle natives. And, notices something about Jungle Woman. “Where’s your companion: Nature Boy?"

“Back at my own jungle home.” Jungle Woman answered. “I came here to cause plenty of trouble in this place. But, I realized it’s too big a task to handle on my own.” She then stood next to Manna. “Fortunately, the Headhunters were around. Now, we will continue to reek havoc.

Fluttershy then steps up to the brutal women. “This madness ends now!”

Jungle Woman raised an eyebrow. “How do you plan to stop us, little girl?”

As the jungle warriors laugh cruelly, Fluttershy places her hand on her geode. “Animals, UNITE!”

Soon, a whole bunch of forest animals, birds, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and a big grizzly bear arrived to stand with Flutters and her friends. Jungle Woman and the Headhunters got a little nervous.

“Young girl call for animals to fight back.” Meena said. “This is not good.”

Jungle Woman then spoke up. “Let’s scram!”

The four woman grabbed their weapons and took off. The girls were cheering as Twilight put away her smartphone.

“I called the park ranger.” Twilight informed. “The authorities are ready to take Jungle Woman and the Headhunters away from this place.”

“That’s a relief.” Fluttershy said as the bear growled happily next to her. “Easy, big boy. No need to be over excited.”

9. A Sweet Surprise for Silver Spoon

Author's Note

Pinkie Pie now brings in Tammy Jones for some birthday fun.

9. A Sweet Surprise for Silver Spoon

It’s Silver Spoon’s birthday. And, all of her friends gather at her house for a birthday party. As Silver herself enjoys the company in her backyard, Pinkie Pie and Diamond Tiara are inside the house. They’re talking to a sweet looking girl with pigtails in her red hair. She wore a white short sleeve shirt, long red skirt, white shoes, and a flowing pink cape.

“Are you ready to make these kids happy?” Pinkie asked the girl.

“I sure am.” The girl answered. She then turns to Diamond. “Okay, Diamond. It’s showtime!”

Diamond Tiara nodded and went to the backyard.

“Attention, everybody.” Diamond announced. “I hope you’re all having a good time.”

“We are.” Silver Spoon replied. “And, it’s only got started. Anymore surprises?”

“Yes indeed. The presents and birthday cake will be coming out soon. But, right now, Pinkie Pie brought in a special guest to join the fun.”

The guests are all interested.

“I sure hope it’s not a clown.” Snips said. “Some of us are not into that sort of thing.”

“Besides,” said his partner, Snails, “clowns can be a little scary.”

“Don’t worry, fellas.” Diamond assured. “The guest she brought in is far better than a clown.”

The party guests anxiously await this special surprise.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Diamond announced, “I give you the sweetheart of wrestling, Tammy Jones!”

Soon, out steps the girl Pinkie talked to earlier. Everybody was surprised, especially the birthday girl.

“Hi, everybody.” Tammy greeted. “Did I hear that someone has a birthday today?”

Silver Spoon stepped up cautiously. “Yes, Tammy. It’s my birthday today.”

“Then, Happy Birthday, my friend.”

Tammy gave Silver a hug. Silver was so happy, she shed tears of joy. Pinkie watched from inside the house. Turned out better than I thought.

Suddenly, Diamond’s mother, Spoiled Rich came into the backyard. She appreciated that her daughter prepared this party for her friend. But, she was surprised to see Tammy Jones joining the fun.

“Diamond Tiara!” Spoiled called out.

“Mom!” Diamond yelped. “What are you doing here?”

“I was just coming over here to see how things are coming with this party.” She then stood next to her daughter. “I never expected to see Tammy Jones join the fun.”

Feeling nervous, Pinkie Pie rushed out to be with the mother daughter team.

“Please don’t angry.” Pinkie pleaded. “It was my idea to bring Tammy here.”

Spoiled soon had a smile on her face. “I’m not angry. In fact, this is a great idea.”

“It is?” Pinkie and Diamond said together.

“Yes. I remember when I was young. Watching GLOW is always a good time. Bringing Tammy Jones here makes this party even more fun. Good work you two.”

Pinkie and Diamond were relieved. As the party went on, music played, the guests were enjoying themselves, and Diamond and Silver looked at the presents on the table.

“You made out pretty good.” Diamond Tiara said happily. “Did you like the pajamas I got you?”

“I did.” Silver replied. “The best part is Tammy Jones coming over to make this day even more fun! Thank you, Diamond.”

Meanwhile, Spoiled Rich, Pinkie, and Tammy enjoyed each other’s company.

“I heard that you used to be a GLOW fan.” Tammy said to Spoiled.

“I still am.” Spoiled informed. “At least, the early days. Up to when Johnny C picked up where Dave McLane left off.”

“Really? Wow! It’s nice to have fan of all ages.”

Spoiled and Tammy high five each other. Pinkie watches and giggled quietly. That’s something you don’t see everyday.

Silver came into the house. “Excuse me, Tammy. Can you come tell us about some of your toughest matches?”

“Sure, birthday girl.” Tammy replied. She followed Silver Spoon into the backyard.

Spoiled Rich and Pinkie Pie shook hands, knowing that this day turned out to be great.

10. Ladies in Leather

Author's Note

Time for a meeting of two ladies in leather. Sunset Shimmer and Angel. I even did a tribute to Angel’s known skit on GLOW, “Angel’s Hell’s Kitchen”.

10. Ladies in Leather

It’s a beautiful Saturday morning. And, Sunset Shimmer rode into town on her motorcycle. Stopping in front of a diner, she decided to stop in for breakfast. Sunset says hello to many of her friends like Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Flash Sentry. As she sat down, Pinkie Pie, who works as a waitress, came over to her table.

“Morning, Sunset.” Pinkie Pie greeted as she sets down a menu. “What can I get you?”

“Start me off with a large orange juice, Pinkie.” Sunset responded.

“Coming up. I’ll be back to take your order.”

As Pinkie skated away, a tense looking woman with frizzy brown hair came in. She wore a leather jacket over a red t shirt, a leather cap, blue jeans, and black boots. Everybody looked at her and got a little worried. The woman then went over to Sunset’s table.

“Sunset Shimmer.” The woman greeted roughly. “We meet at last.”

Sunset looked at the stranger. And, got a little defensive. “Angel! What are you doing here?”

“Same reason you’re here probably. Stopped in for some breakfast.”

Pinkie Pie came back with Sunset’s orange juice when she saw the woman named Angel. “Oh, the leather clad Angel. What can I get you?”

Angel saw Sunset’s drink and made a decision. “I’ll have what she’s having.”

As the morning progressed, Sunset enjoyed a stack of pancakes while Angel eats a bacon and cheese omelet.

“Hard day in the ring?” Sunset asked.

“I have a hard day in the ring everyday.” Angel answered as she munches on a piece of toast. “Just last night, I had a hard earned victory against Amy, the Farmer’s Daughter.”

“Amy, the Farmer’s Daughter?” Sunset yelped as she sipped on her juice. “Probably had a hard time getting out of her leg scissors.”

“You said it. That girl was no doubt trained by her sister, Sally. Those Farmer’s Daughters are tougher than they appear.”

“But, you managed to defeat her. I’ll bet Aunt Kitty was proud of you.”

Angel nodded as the two girls continued to enjoy their breakfast. Later, the two girls are ready to hit the road.

“I guess this is where we part company.” Sunset said.

“That’s right.” Angel replied as she revved up her own motorcycle. “See ya, Sunset. Maybe we can go riding together someday.”

Angel then rode of as Sunset watched her leave. Good idea, Angel. I think I’ll take you on that offer.

Angel’s Hell’s Kitchen

“Waitress! Waitress!” Shouted out a customer.

Wearing her leather hat and a diner uniform, Angel approached her customer. “Yeah? What do you want?”

The customer gave an angry answer. “I wouldn’t serve this food to prisoners!”

Angel looks at him, and gives a response. “Why not? The cook used to.”

The biker waitress laughs as she slaps him on the back, and leaves.

12. Leaving Marks in the Sand

Author's Note

It’s beach time. A day that The Royal Hawaiian couldn’t pass up.

12. Leaving Marks in the Sand

There’s a lot of activity at the beach. Many people were not only swimming, surfing, and sunbathing, many are making sculptures in the sand. Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie watched these sculptures taking shape.

“Looks like the Sand Sculpture Contest is well underway, Pinkie.” Twilight proudly said.

“You said it, Twi.” Pinkie chirped. “Look at all of these sculptures taking shape! I’ll bet Timber Spruce and the other judges will have a hard time deciding on a winner.”

Twilight soon saw a woman with wavy black hair and wearing a blue swimsuit. She also has flowers in her hair and around her neck. And, she has on a sea foam green tropical skirt.

“Wowee!” Pinkie cheered. “This girl is carving out a great pineapple!”

“And, I think I know who this is.” Twilight figured. “Pinkie, follow me.”

The woman soon finished her pineapple sculpture. And, is very pleased. “Finished. This’ll please the judges.”

Soon, she turned and saw Twilight and Pinkie approaching. She gave them a polite greeting. “Aloha, friends.”

“I thought I recognized you,” Twilight replied, “Royal Hawaiian.”

“Royal Hawaiian?” Pinkie blurted. “Isn’t she the wrestler that has an unflattering nickname?”

“If you mean ‘Pineapple Head’,” Royal Hawaiian said, “you’re right. But, I never let that bother me.”

“What brings you here to the beach, Royal Hawaiian?” Twilight asked.

“I decided to do a little traveling. So, I came to this beach here at Canterlot City. Pretty nice to an island girl like me.”

“You can’t beat the fun here!” Pinkie said cheerfully.

“I agree. Then, I heard that there’s a sand sculpture contest going on. This sounds like fun to me.”

“I’m sure it is.” Twilight added. “Living on the beaches of Hawaii, you probably saw a lot of visitors doing that kind of stuff.”

“How right you are.” Royal Hawaiian agreed.

“Probably a nice change of pace from battling the likes of Americana, Dallas, and Olympia.”

Pinkie Pie wished Royal Hawaiian good luck in the contest. Later that day, the sculptures were judged and prizes were given. The Royal Hawaiian was pleased with her accomplishment.

“Given second place may not be what I hoped for.” Royal Hawaiian said. “But, it’s better than nothing.”

“At least you have something to be proud of.” Pinkie stated.

“Pinkie is right.” Twilight added. “Timber Spruce was impressed with your pineapple sculpture. He said that the details are amazing.”

The Royal Hawaiian agreed with the brainiac. “That’s a good point, Miss Sparkle.” She then gave Twilight a small but sweet hug. “I wonder who won first place.”

Twilight pointed to the work area of Diamond Tiara, who sculpted a crown. She even found some shiny shells to use as jewels. Her mother, Spoiled Rich, wearing a red one piece swimsuit, came to congratulate her.

“Congratulations, Diamond.” Spoiled Rich cheered.

“Thank you, mother.” Diamond replied. “I have to admit, that pineapple sculpture came close in points.”

The Royal Hawaiian couldn’t help but smile, knowing that she was indeed close to victory. That was nice of her to say that. But, there’s always next time.

13. Justice For All

Author's Note

When Rainbow Dash has been a victim to being brutalized, it’s Justice to the rescue!

13. Justice For All

Inside her bedroom, Rainbow Dash, who changed into her sleepwear, is shaking terribly. Lightning Dust, who is staying the night with her, is very concerned.

“Don’t worry, Rainbow.” Lightning said, trying to comfort her. “You’re going to be okay.”

“I can’t believe this is happening!” Rainbow sobbed. “I’m not helpless. Even Hoops and his buddies know that.”

Lightning Dust remembered seeing pieces of rope on Rainbow’s dresser. The ropes are used by the rainbow haired girl to practice knots for camping trips. Taking a piece, Lightning tied Rainbow’s hands behind her back.

“Lightning!” Dash yelped, realizing what her guest is doing. “Is this necessary? Have I gone that panic stricken?”

“I’m afraid so.” Lightning replied. She took the other piece to tie Rainbow’s ankles together. “This is only temporary until you calm down.”

“Rainbow Dash.” Hothoof, Rainbow’s father called out. “Somebody wants to talk to you.”

Dash knows that she can’t move to come downstairs. “Sorry, dad. I’m a little tied up right now.”

The door opened, and in steps an African American woman wearing a leather outfit, leather cap, and carries a pair of handcuffs. “Good evening, ladies.”

“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” Rainbow gasped as she knows who it is. “It’s Justice!”

“Justice?” Lightning added. “The tough girl from Harlem?”

“Yeah. This woman used to be a cop.”

“I still help the police when possible.” Justice said as she helps Rainbow Dash to sit on the bed. “Your parents said that you had a horrifying problem. What’s the matter?”

After calming down a little, Rainbow Told Justice her story. “I was coming home from hanging out with my friends at a diner when two thugs came out of nowhere. They didn’t take my money. But, they yelled at me, pushed me around, and told me that my faults are what everyone should remember.”

“Hmmm. An aggravated assault. That’s not good.”

Lightning Dust soon had a thought. “I can think of two guys who would do that. It’s gotta be Rolling Thunder and Short Fuse.”

Dash’s eyes widened. “Aren’t those the two guys who want you to be reckless on the soccer field again?”

“That’s them.”

Justice had her own thought. “I heard of those two. There’s been reports that those two harassed other sport girls.”

“What?!” Dash yelped. “They’ve got to be stopped.”

“They will. Miss Lightning Dust, you know those two. Where would they hang out?”

“They often hang out in front of the movie theater.” Lightning answered.

“Lead me to it. I’m making you my deputy for the night.”

As Justice and Lightning started to leave, Rainbow got a little nervous. “Wh-wh-what about me?”

“I’ll tell your parents to check on you in twenty minutes.” Lightning replied. “They’ll probably untie you when you calmed down enough.”

Rainbow Dash fell back on the bed, lifting her bound legs on to the mattress. Oh boy. What a night.

Minutes later, Justice and Lightning Dust, in a police car, went to the movie theater.

“There they are.” Lightning announced, pointing to two mean looking boys hanging out in a bench. One has purple skin and curly white hair. The other boy is shorter, and has vermillion skin and blond hair. They both have on denim jackets over white shirts. They wore blue jeans and black boots.

Justice grabbed her CB radio. “This is Justice At the Canterlot Multiplex asking for back up.”

A voice responded on the radio. “10-4.”

Five minutes later, Rolling Thunder and Short Fuse were lead by police into a squad car.

“I can’t believe Lightning Dust would do this to us!” The vermillion skinned boy, Short Fuse, shouted. “This is an outrage!”

“Easy, lad.” His friend, Rolling Thunder said. “Your temper will make matters worse.”

As the two boys are taken away, Lightning Dust and Justice were satisfied.

“Now, Rainbow Dash can sleep peacefully.” Justice informed. “How about I take you back to check on her?”

“Sure thing.” Lightning responded. “I’m spending the night there anyway.”

The two ladies soon High fived each other. Later, back at Dash’s house, Rainbow got comfortable, knowing she’s not tied up anymore.

“Feeling better?” Hothoof asked as he came in.

“Now, I am.” Rainbow Dash answered. “I hope Lightning Dust doesn’t mind sleeping on the couch.”

“Not at all. She figured you can use some alone time. At least she and Justice got those thugs off the streets.”

“That’s a relief.” Dash soon turned off her light. “Good night, dad.”

Hothoof quietly closed the door as Rainbow drifted off to sleep.

14. Leaving a BAD Mark

Author's Note

This chapter features Hollywood, her tag team partner: Vine, and her cousin: Broadway Rose.

14. Leaving a BAD Mark

In her office, Principal Celestia talked to Twilight Sparkle and her friends. There was some nasty graffiti painted on the school a few days ago. High pressure washers wiped most of that spray paint away. The Rainbooms helped wash the rest of it away.

"Thank you for your help in washing that paint off our school." Celestia praised.

"You're welcome, Principal Celestia." Twilight replied gratefully. "Who would tag our school like this?"

Sunset Shimmer got a little worried. I hope I don't get blamed for this. I wouldn't tag our school. "Do you suppose that the street artist, Flanky, would do something like this?"

"Not likely." Vice Principal Luna answered as she came in to the office. "Photo Finish took this picture after the tag was done. I don't think the mysterious Flanky would do this."

The girls looked at the photograph. The graffiti contains a glittery silver 'H', a deep blue 'V', and a black 'and' symbol (&) between the letters. There's also a red rose painted underneath.

"Hmmm. H & V." Rainbow said, figuring out this graffiti. "This looks like the work of those street girls from California: Hollywood and Vine."

Everybody gasped at Rainbow Dash's deduction.

"Of course." Luna said, getting upset. "Only those two punks would desecrate our school like that!"

"And, they aren't alone." Applejack said.

"What do you mean, Applejack?" Pinkie wondered.

"By the look of this rose in this picture, I'd say Hollywood brought along her cousin from New York City: Broadway Rose."

"Broadway Rose?" Rarity gasped. "That young lady has got a sour disposition indeed."

Celestia was amazed at the girls' answer to this situation. "If Hollywood, Vine, and Broadway Rose are involved, they might try again."

"And, when they try, we'll be ready." Twilight announced.

Everybody was shocked to hear that. Later, after school was over for the weekend, Twilight and her friends are stationed behind bushes, looking at the school.

"Are you sure about this, Twilight?" Fluttershy wondered nervously.

"Yes, I am." Twilight answered with confidence. "When those three learned that their masterpiece was erased, they'll come back to try again."

"And, when they do," Applejack added, holding some rope she brought, "we'll be ready."

Just then, they saw three creepy looking women sneak to the school bringing some paint spray cans with them. One has straight frizzed up light brown hair, and wears a black shredded leotard and black shoes. This woman was Hollywood. Another of the girls has frizzy black hair with blue streaks in it, and is wearing a blue tattered leotard and black shoes. She is Hollywood's partner in wrestling, Vine.

The third lady has frizzy bown hair. She wears a tattered purple leotard and red shoes. She's Hollywood's cousin, Broadway Rose. Just as Hollywood picked up a spray can, a lasso came and yanked the can from her hand. The three street punks turned, and saw Twilight and company.

"Hey!" Hollywood shouted. "What's the big idea?!"

"You're not going to tag our school, Hollywood!" Sunset announced. "You and your cohorts are finished."

"So, you figured it out. Huh?" Vine said. "We learned that our work got washed away."

Hollywood stood next to Vine. "So, we came back to renew our masterpiece."

"You mean DISASTERpiece!" Pinkie said angrily.

"That's your opinion, sweetheart." Vine added.

"I'm impressed that you tagged along, Rose." Rainbow said.

"What can I tell ya?" Broadway Rose replied. "Hollywood and I are family."

Then, sirens can be heard coming to the school. Hollywood, Vine, and Broadway Rose got worried.

"Uh oh." Rose blurted. "It's the cops. Let's beat it!"

Leaving their spray cans behind, the three punks made a run for it. Only to be lassoed by Applejack. Soon, she tied them to a telephone pole.

"That ought to hold ya." Applejack informed. "Until the police show up."

Ten minutes later, the three mean girls were handcuffed, and put into the squad cars. Meanwhile, the Rainbooms went home, knowing that they were a big help.

"Well," Sunset stated, "looks like Aunt Kitty will be busy bailing those creeps out."

The girls had a good laugh as they head for home.

Classic joke from GLOW

HOLLYWOOD: David McLane is like a lonely deer.
VINE: Yeah. He'll do anything for a buck.

15. Sweetie Belle’s Dance Night

Author's Note

It’s time for the exotic Little Egypt to show Sweetie Belle a charming good time.

15. Sweetie Belle’s Dance Night

It’s a beautiful Saturday night at Hoity Toity’s posh pad. It was an outdoor garden party. And, many elegant types gather to enjoy themselves. Even Rarity and Sweetie Belle are there. Rarity has on a long teal sleeveless gown and blue shoes while Sweetie Belle wears a long sleeve magenta long gown with sky blue stripes pointing up on the bottom. She has on glittery green shoes.

“Enjoying yourself, Sweetie Belle?” Rarity asked.

“Believe it or not,” Sweetie responded, “I am. I thought an event like this is going to be dull.”

“I can understand why. You figured that with all of these elegant types, it would be boring. But, some of them have very exciting lives.”

“Yeah. Some of these people even talked to ME. They like my friendship with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.”

Rarity smiled as Hoity Toity steps up with microphone in hand.

“Evening, folks.” He announced. “I hope you’re all enjoying yourselves. Now, with help from miss DJ Pon-3,” The mentioned DJ, alias Vinyl Scratch, prepares her equipment. “we shall have some special entertainment for you. We are honored to have with us a guest who will demonstrate a fascinating dance.”

Everybody is anxiously waiting for this surprise as Hoity Toity continues his announcement. “Ladies and Gentlemen, The darling of the Nile, Little Egypt!”

Then, out steps a lovely lady with flowing black hair, wearing a light brown top, and a flowing coral colored long skirt. Everybody applauded her appearance.

“Wow.” Sweetie Belle cheered. “She’s beautiful.”

“Oh my.” Rarity said in astonishment.

Little Egypt then turned to DJ Pon-3. “A little Egyptian dance music, please?”

“Coming up, Little Egypt.” The DJ replied as she turns on the music.

As the music plays, Little Egypt started to move her hips and sway her arms, moving very lovingly. The audience is entranced by her movements.

This lady seems to be a big hit with some of these people. Hoity Toity thought. I wonder if some of them are wrestling fans.

As her dance continues, Little Egypt made her way to Rarity and Sweetie Belle’s table. She signaled DJ Pon-3 to stop the music for a moment.

“How would you like to dance with me?” Little Egypt asked Sweetie Belle.

Rarity’s sister was shocked. “Me? Oh, wow! I’m a little nervous, however.”

Sweetie Belle was shaking a little until Rarity calmed her down. “Don’t worry, Sweetie Belle. You’ll do fine.”

Feeling better, Sweetie lets Little Egypt take her along while Rarity pulls out her smartphone.

As soon as Little Egypt and Sweetie Belle got up front, DJ Pon-3 was signaled to play the music again.

“Now, follow me.” Little Egypt suggested. “This will be fun.”

Sweetie nodded. Little Egypt began to dance and Sweetie Belle followed her moves. Although she’s nervous, Sweetie continues to dance. Soon, she felt very relaxed.

Beautiful dance moves, Sweetie. Rarity thought as she was taping the dance.

As soon as the dance was over, Hoity Toity stepped up with microphone in hand. “How about a round of applause for Little Egypt and her dance partner?”

The people started clapping and cheering as Little Egypt and Sweetie hugged each other. The next day, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo watched a video Rarity posted. It was of Sweetie’s dance from the night before.

“I didn’t know ya can dance like that?” Apple Bloom wondered.

“I didn’t either.” Sweetie Belle replied. “It’s like I was moved by that music.”

“Or, maybe because you were dancing with Little Egypt.” Scootaloo added. “This will probably get a lot of likes on YouTube.”

Sweetie Belle giggled knowing that Scootaloo does have a point.

16. Iron Will’s Faithful Soldiers

Author's Note

What happens when the military duo of Corporal Kelly and Attaché help coach a football team? Find out here.

16. Iron Will’s Faithful Soldiers

As practice wraps up for the football team, Coach Iron Will watches as two fierce women talks to the players. One is as big as Iron Will. She has brown hair like an 80s rocker, wears a tank top and pants in camouflage prints, and dark brown army boots. She also sports belts of bullets across her chest in an ‘X’ formation.

The other woman is shorter with short brown hair. Her outfit is similar to the bigger woman. But, no bullets.

“Okay, men.” The large woman said. “Next week is your big game against Griffonstone High School. I hope you’re ready.”

“Yes, ma’am!” The team shouted.

“Easy, fellas.” The short woman said. “You’re not in the army. But, we do appreciate your respect.”

“My partner is right.” The large woman added. “Just remember our teachings. And, you’ll come out on top. Dismissed!”

The players all went away as the Coach approached the military women.

“Iron Will thanks you for your help.” Iron Will said proudly as he shakes the large woman’s hand.

“It’s our honor to help you, Coach Iron Will.” The woman replied.

Later that day, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, hearing about the training, walk to a pizza place to meet their friends.

“I heard that our team went through some tough training for the big game next week.” Applejack said.

“I heard that Coach Iron Will asked those rough military soldiers to help him.” Rainbow Dash said with uncertainty.

Applejack got a bit concerned. “Y’all mean Corporal Kelly and Attaché? Yeah. Those two girls are on the tough side.”

“But, why were they hired to help with the coaching?”

A loud voice got their attention. “We’ll tell you why!”

Applejack and Rainbow turned and saw Corporal Kelly, who got their attention.

“Corporal Kelly?!” Rainbow Dash gasped.

“In person!” The Corporal replied as Attaché came along.

Applejack got a bit nervous. Oh boy. We’re in fer it now.

Rainbow Dash started to sweat. Attaché approached the nervous athlete. “At ease, Rainbow Dash. We’re not here to bother you nor your farmer friend.”

The two friends were shocked to be recognized by these powerful women.

“Ya know about us?” Applejack wondered.

“We know about all of you Rainbooms, Applejack.” Kelly responded. “We saw one of your concerts.”

The girls felt a little relief as the Corporal continues her discussion. “As to why Iron Will hired us, he noticed that your school’s football team have not been performing that well lately.”

“Yeah, we noticed that.” Dash figured.

“That’s why he requested our help.” Attaché added. “With our military strategy, the boys have improved greatly. Now, they have a chance against Griffonstone High next week.”

“That’s right.” Applejack just realized. “You two are marines. And, Coach Iron Will knows that. That’s why he hired you.”

“That’s right, hombre.” Attaché replied. “And, you and your friends will see the results of our training next week.”

Corporal Kelly and Attaché saluted as the Corporal bid them good-bye. “Take it easy, girls.”

The two marines went their way as Applejack and Rainbow Dash were impressed with them. Next week came, and the team celebrated their victory in the diner.

“Congratulations, Sandalwood!” Pinkie Pie cheered.

“Thanks, Pinkie.” Sandalwood replied. “It wasn’t easy. But, we pulled off a great victory.”

“You said it.” Flash Sentry added. He sat next to Sandalwood. “It’s all thanks to Corporal Kelly and Attaché. Their strategy helped us big time.”

Sitting at another table, the marine women were happy to hear the compliments. They high fived each other, satisfied with the results.

17. Party Worries

Author's Note

Sunset Shimmer gets words of wisdom from one of the most popular GLOW good girls: Americana.

17. Party Worries

Sunset Shimmer was sitting on a bench at a park, eating a PB and J sandwich. But, she had tears in her eyes, as if something is wrong with her.

“Will you be attending Rarity’s movie party?” Octavia asked as she was walking by.

“I don’t know.” Sunset replied sadly. “If that brute, Garble, is crashing that party, he’ll probably throw me out.”

“I guess there are a few who STILL think that you’re bad news.” Octavia said, feeling bad for the former bully. “Try to attend. Please.”

As Octavia leaves, Sunset still feels bad. Unless Rarity has a security guard at her house, I guess I’ll be staying home.

Just then, a slender woman with curly brown hair walks by. She has on a unique outfit comprising of a short sleeve shirt and pants that are both half red and half blue. She also has on two different boots. One is red and one is blue. She then approached the saddened girl.

“Hello, Miss Sunset Shimmer.” The woman greeted kindly. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Sunset was shocked to see this woman. “I don’t believe it. Americana!”

“That’s me. May I sit with you?”

“Sure.”

Americana sat down with Sunset, wondering what’s wrong.

“I heard a conversation between you and Miss Octavia Melody.” Americana said. “Something about a movie party, I believe?”

“That’s right.” Sunset replied. “Many of us are going to my friend, Rarity’s house for a movie night. And, each of us dress up as movie characters.”

“That sounds like a lot of fun.” Americana then gets concerned. “So, what’s the problem?”

“There’s this brute named Garble who crashes parties I attend, then yells at me about my bad past before throwing me out. Sometimes he physically hurts me. He almost put me into the hospital one time!”

As Sunset starts to shake, Americana comforts her. “There’s no need to be that scared. You rose above the Fall Formal nightmare, and became a nicer person. Right?”

Sunset begins to calm down. “Well, yeah.”

“And now, you have many friends. Right?”

“I do. Especially my fellow Rainbooms.” Sunset said happily.

“Then, don’t let that bruiser, or your dark past, worry you. I’m sure your friends will do everything to keep you safe.”

Sunset soon feels a lot better. “Thanks, Americana. I needed that pep talk.”

“You’re welcome.” Americana replied as she hugged Sunset kindly. “Do you have Miss Rarity’s phone number? I might attend that party myself.”

“That’s a good idea.” Sunset said happily as she pulls out her phone.

Later that night, the party at Rarity’s house went on. Many of the attendees wore costumes of many different movie characters. Rarity, dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West, steps in to greet her guests. “Friends, tonight’s movie will start in ten minutes.”

Everyone is happy to hear the news, as they get ready to order food. Sunset Shimmer, dressed as cartoon villain, Dr. Facilier, grabbed some potato chips from the snack table and started munching.

“I’m glad you can make it.” Said Twilight Sparkle, dressed as Vicky Vale from ‘Batman’.

“Me too.” Sunset replied. “Thanks to Americana’s words of wisdom, I don’t have to panic anymore.”

The two friends hugged each other. In another area, Bulk Biceps, dresses as the Terminator, and Americana, dressed as The Bride from ‘Kill Bill’ stood near the front door.

“That brute, Garble, won’t get near here with us working together.” Bulk said.

“You said it.” Americana replied as she and Bulk shook hands in friendship.

18. Test of Strength

Author's Note

It’s time for a test of strength between Big Macintosh and Matilda the Hun.

18. Test of Strength

The sun sets over Canterlot City as a carnival is in town. Rides, food, attractions, and shows get everyone’s attention. Applejack and her family enjoy the festivities.

“Now, ain’t ya glad we came to this carnival?” Granny Smith asked.

“We sure are.” Applejack replied. “This atmosphere is just what we need.”

Big Macintosh agreed. “Eeyup.”

Apple Bloom happily eats a corn dog. “Especially the food.” She wipes some ketchup she drizzled off her face. “We should distribute our own products to a place like this.”

Applejack gave a small smile. “May not be a bad idea.”

The family see a crowd of people watching something fascinating. They soon saw a shocking sight. It turns out to be a big woman with curly brown woman, wearing a black leotard and black boots. She lifts a barbell weighing about 450 pounds.

“That’s Matilda the Hun!” Applejack shouted, recognizing the woman. “This should be interesting.”

“As Big Mac would say,” Apple Bloom added, “Eeyup!”

As Matilda place the barbell down, she has a couple of carnival workers to set up an arm wrestling table. The crowd watches as Matilda has a microphone in her hand.

“And now, ladies and gentlemen,” Matilda announced, “it’s time for another demonstration of my strength. I am challenging one of you to an arm wrestling contest. No prizes. Just a friendly competition.”

“First time she does anything friendly.” Granny Smith whispered.

Suddenly, the powerhouse looked into Big Mac’s direction. “How about YOU, big boy?”

Big Mac started to get nervous. “M-m-me?”

“Why not? You look like a strong young man.”

The Apple family nodded to Big Macintosh, as he steps up to the table.

“Good luck, Big Mac.” Applejack cheered.

As Big Mac prepares himself, Matilda soon figures out the name called out. “Big Mac, huh? So, you’re part of the well known Apple Family. Ja?”

“Eeyup.” Big Mac replied. “Full name, Big Macintosh.”

“I thought as much.” Matilda said as she gets her arm on the table. “Let’s get it on.”

Big Mac gets his elbow on the table, clasping Matilda’s hand.

“Ready,” One of the workers, acting as a referee, said, “GO!”

Big Mac and Matilda got into the match, each trying to push the other’s hand onto the table. The crowd was cheering for both competitors.

“Come on, Big Mac!” Applejack cheered.

“Show Matilda the Hun your strength!” Granny Smith added.

Big Mac soon gained an advantage as he pushes Matilda’s Hand close to the table.

This boy is stronger than I anticipated. Matilda thought. But, I shall prevail.

Getting her second wind, Matilda starts pushing back. Big Mac struggled, but was eventually overpowered as Matilda pushed his hand to the table. The crowd cheered as Matilda slowly lifted her arm off. Big Mac soon rubbed his arm, relieved that the contest is over.

“The winner is,” the makeshift ref announced, “Matilda the Hun!”

Everybody clapped and cheered as the winner turns to her competition. “Good work, lad. You almost had me.”

The Apple Family watched as Matilda and Big Mac shook hands. Later, the family sat at a picnic table, enjoying the food they got from various stands.

“Are you sure y’all okay?” Apple Bloom wondered.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac replied, enjoying a hamburger. “My arm maybe sore. But, not broken.”

“Thank goodness.”

Suddenly, Matilda approached the table.

“What brings ya here, Matilda?” Applejack asked.

“Just making sure your sibling is okay, Miss Applejack.” Matilda answered.

“You know of me and my family?”

“Of course. Who doesn’t know about the Apple Family? I would like to visit your home at Sweet Apple Acres.”

“If that’s the case,” Granny Smith said, “we would gladly welcome ya. It’s not often that one of the strongest women from GLOW would visit us.”

Applejack nodded, knowing that Granny is right.

“Before I go,” Matilda said as she pulls out something furry, “say ‘Hello’ to my Fritzy!”

Matilda kisses the furry thing, making the Apple Family uneasy.

“You still carry that dang fox with ya?” Granny Smith asked.

“He’s always by my side in and out of the wrestling ring!” Matilda laughs as she leaves. “Farewell.”

Applejack watches her leave with a small smile. Auf Wedersehen to you too, Fraulein.

19. Brains and Brawn Work Well Together

Author's Note

Some people can surprise you. As Zelda the Brain will prove.

19. Brains and Brawn Work Well Together

Twilight Sparkle leaves the Library to meet her friends at an outdoor activity center. Tagging along is a young lady with her black hair in a ponytail, and has a blue and white outfit on. This girl adjusts her glasses so they don’t fall off.

“Thanks for joining me for my study date, Zelda.” Twilight said happily.

“It’s not a problem, Twilight.” The girl named Zelda replied. “We intellectuals have to stick together.”

“I like that logic. Now that study time is over, are you ready for some outdoor activities?”

“Yes, I am. Lead the way.”

The two brainiacs enter the area, seeing all the fun activities. They see a rock climbing wall, a big field for frisbee throws, and even an outdoor pool for swimming. Since the sun is out, it’s a perfect day for being outside.

“This weather is absolutely perfect.” Zelda cheered. “So, where are your friends?”

Twilight looked around. By the rock climbing wall, she saw Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer. “Over there. Come on.”

The three girls see their brainy friend coming.

“Hey, Twilight.” Sunset greeted. “Glad you can make it.”

“Thanks.” Twilight replied. “After sometime of studying, a little physical activity is what I need to vent of some steam.”

Rainbow Dash spotted Twilight’s companion, and is surprised. “Zelda the Brain? What are you doing here?”

“Miss Sparkle asked me to join her on her study date.” Zelda explained.

“That figures. You brainiacs do get along with each other.”

“Indeed. Now, I’m ready to engage in some physical exercise.”

Pinkie Pie laughed hysterically. “You, doing any physical exercise? That’s a good one.”

Sunset Shimmer stepped in. “Don’t knock it, Pinkie. Zelda does hold her own against the likes of Godiva, Evangelina, and Major Tanya.”

Pinkie’s eyes widened hearing that. Rainbow Dash helps put a helmet on Zelda’s head, and prepared a harness to keep her safe.

“Show us what you can do, Zelda.” Rainbow Dash cheered.

Looking at the wall, Zelda prepared herself. She starts climbing, using the pegs and footholds, Zelda climbs the wall. Everybody watched and is amazed. Reaching the top peg, Zelda waved to the girls, and they cheered.

After climbing back down, and removing her safety gear, Zelda was given a bottle of water.

“That was amazing!” Twilight cheered.

“Yeah!” Rainbow added. “That was awesome! You’re stronger than you appear.”

“Thank you.” Zelda praised. “As the old saying goes. Never judge a book by it’s cover.”

Pinkie was shocked to see what Zelda can do. Wow. My family is not going to believe this.

20. Stopping the Show Stoppers

Author's Note

This chapter brings out the brutal Col. Ninotchka and Major Tanya. Plus, a tribute to Ninotchka’s skit, “Easy as KGB”.

20. Stopping the Show Stoppers

Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna walk down the halls of Canterlot High School, heading for the auditorium, where a play is being rehearsed. There have been reports that rehearsals are being disrupted. And, the sisters are heading there to investigate.

When they arrived, they see two tall women on the stage. They both wear a red leotard, black tights and black boots. They both have short blond hair. One has a little more than the other.

“Get off our stage!” Said Sunset Shimmer, who is supervising the rehearsal. “We can’t practice with you two in our way!”

“Why don’t you make up, welp?” The short haired woman replied.

“Because we’re not leaving any time soon.” Added the woman with the fuller head of hair.

The two women soon spotted the principal and vice principal coming. The sisters looked at them. And, soon spoke to them.

“Colonel Ninotchka and Major Tanya.” Celestia called out. “So, you two are here.”

“Hello to you too, Principal Celestia.” The short haired woman, Ninotchka, replied.

“Spreading your propaganda again, ladies?” Luna asked in protest.

Ninotchka gave out a smug look. “This play these young ones is just a waste of time. We decided to give out speeches to these teenagers.”

“As you can see,” her partner, Tanya, added, “they are very moved by our words of wisdom.”

“More like sick to our stomachs.” Sunset informed. “Why don’t you get off our stage and hit the road?!”

The two powerful women from Russia laughed, thinking that these kids can stand up to them.

“Me and Ninotchka are strong and mighty.” Tanya informed. “What can you puny children do to tell us otherwise?”

Sunset signaled Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack to join her to confront Ninotchka and Tanya. When the mighty Russians saw the girls’ geodes glowed, the brutal pair got a bit worried.

Minutes later, Applejack’s magical strength and Twilight’s own magic ejected the intruders our of the school.

“That’ll teach to disrupt our activities!” Twilight said as she and Applejack went back in. Rarity stayed to give them a proper farewell.

“Dasvedanya, comrades.” Rarity said as she heads back inside.

Ninotchka and Tanya were surprised about the magic they experienced. A little puppy wanders by.

“Hello, puppy.” Ninotchka greeted calmly.

The puppy licked Ninotchka’s face. Then, it spits on the street and meanly walks away. Tanya was very upset about that. That’s the story of our life.

Easy as KGB

A phone rings. Ninotchka answers.
NINOTCHKA: Hello, Vladimir. You are very late with your report. What have you been up to? (Ninotchka listens in) You said that you spent the day with a man named Quasimodo. Do you know him? (Her eyes widened) No, but his name rings a bell. Ha-Ha?

(Ninotchka gets angry) Vladimir, keep this up, and you’ll feel like you’re in an American gangster movie. (She gives an angry response) I’M GONNA RUB YOU OUT! SEE? MYEAH! (Ninotchka hangs up, and smokes her cigar in front of her phone.)

21. Homemade Beach Party

Author's Note

This is my tribute to the memory of Emily Dole. Also known as Mountain Fiji.

21. Homemade Beach Party

Inside her house, Sweetie Belle sat on the couch with tears in her eyes. She heard a knock on her door. Sweetie saw that her friends, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo came over.

“What are you two doing here?” Sweetie Belle wondered.

“We got sent home too.” Scootaloo answered.

“It’s so not fair!” Apple Bloom protested. “We were all set for a beach party! Rumble gets to go. But, the three of us got sent back home!”

“Yeah! I can’t believe that Coach Iron Will showed up, and sent us away.” Scootaloo added.

Sweetie Belle wiped the tears from her eyes, and calmed down a little. “Rarity said that she heard about what happened at the beach. She asked somebody to help out.”

“Really?” Said Apple Bloom. “Who?”

There was a sudden knock at the door. When Sweetie Belle answered there’s nobody there. Instead, there was a piece of paper on the ground.

Scootaloo got curios. “Is that a letter?”

“Maybe.” Sweetie Belle said as she reads the letter out loud. “Dear Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo. Put on your swimsuits and come to the backyard.”

The three girls were a bit confused about this request. Minutes later, they changed into their swimsuits, and made their way to the backyard. Applebloom wore a basic red one piece swimsuit. Sweetie Belle has on a pink top and lavender bottom, to match her hair. And Scootaloo has on a blue long sleeve rash guard, and teal board shorts.

When they entered the backyard, they were shocked. There were inflatable palm trees decorating the backyard. The deck chairs and table near the swimming pool were decorated with flowers and Hawaiian printed towels. And, they saw a huge sandbox in the yard.

“Hoo-Wee.” Apple Bloom shouted. “What's with your backyard, Sweetie Belle?” Apple Bloom asked.

“I don’t know.” Sweetie Belle replied. “But, I like it.”

Suddenly, they heard a deep female voice call to them. “Aloha!”

The voice belonged to a large woman with wavy black hair wearing a tropical yellow top and a red wrap around skirt.

“Wow!” Scootaloo blurted. “It’s Mountain Fiji!”

“Mountain Fiji?” Apple Bloom added. “The gentle giant from Samoa?”

“That’s me.” Fiji said. “Welcome to my Tropical Beach Party.”

“Huh?” All three girls said with confusion.

“Miss Rarity told me about your problem.” Fiji explained. “I figured that if you can’t go to the beach, the beach can come to you.”

“Is that why the backyard is decorated like this?” Scootaloo wondered.

“That’s correct, Scootaloo. I even arranged to have a sandbox brought here. To make this atmosphere complete.”

The girls were approached by a young lady wearing a red bikini top and a red wrap around skirt. She brought some leis with her. “Greetings, my friends.”

“You must be Mountain Fiji’s sister, Little Fiji.” Sweetie Belle figured.

“That’s right.” Little Fiji replied as she places the leis around their necks. “Now, your tropical beach look is complete.”

The girls like the flowery accessories. Soon, tropical music is playing. And Little Fiji is guiding Scootaloo to do some hula dancing.

“Follow my lead, Scootaloo.” Little Fiji suggested. “You’ll do fine.”

“I’m not usually into stuff like this.” Scootaloo said. “But, this isn’t bad.”

Little Fiji smiled, knowing Scootaloo is adjusting fine. Sweetie Belle is having fun in the sandbox, carving out a sea shell. Apple Bloom stands near the pool.

“Cannonball!” Apple Bloom yelled as she jumped into the pool with a big splash.

“Impressive cannonball, Apple Bloom.” Mountain Fiji said, watching the action.

The young farm girl gave the Samoan gentle giant a thumbs up. Later, the party still goes on as the sun goes down. Tiki torches are lit as Applejack manned a barbecue grill.

“How are those ribs coming along, Miss Applejack?” Mountain Fiji asked.

“Just about done, Mt. Fiji.” Applejack replied. “This mango glaze you whipped up is a good idea.” She gave a good sniff. “Mmmm. Sweet scent.”

Meanwhile, the three friends were munching on snacks supplied by Rarity as Little Fiji brought out some glasses. “Fresh tropical punch?”

“Thank you kindly.” Rarity replied.

They receive their glasses. Scootaloo took a sip, and is very happy.

“This is great!” Scootaloo praised. “Are the fruits used to make this punch fresh?”

“Yes, they are.” Little Fiji replied. “Freshly grown food makes things really good. Even your farmer friend, Apple Bloom, knows that.”

“I sure enough do.” Apple Bloom replied.

Sweetie Belle made an announcement. “Here’s to the Fiji sisters, for making all of this possible.”

Everyone raised their glasses. Mountain Fiji and Little Fiji felt very honored.

23. A Shoulder To Cry On

Author's Note

Who can comfort Fluttershy in her darkest hour? In this case, the sweet and brave Sugar.

23. A Shoulder To Cry On

As the school bell rings, signifying the end of the day. The students went home, knowing that it’s Friday. Fluttershy walked out of the school with tears in her eyes. Her friend, Tree Hugger, caught up with her.

“Fluttershy! Wait up!” Tree Hugger called out.

“Oh, hello, Tree Hugger.” Fluttershy replied softly.

“Hey, girl. Don’t let what happened get to you. That was a nice presentation you gave for Mr. Cranky Doodle.”

“I know. But, that bully, Adagio stepped in and smashed my project to pieces!”

Fluttershy ran away, crying as she goes. Tree Hugger got out her smartphone, and put out a call. Later, at her house, Fluttershy sat in her backyard, still sobbing, still upset about what happened.

I can’t believe that this happened. Fluttershy thought. I had a great project and it got wrecked!

As Fluttershy continues to cry softly, she heard a knock on the gate of the backyard. Cautiously, she went to the gate to answer. As she opened the gate, Fluttershy was greeted by a sweet looking girl with curly blond hair. She wore a dark pink polo shirt, red Capri pants, and pink sneakers.

“Sugar?” Fluttershy uttered. “Is that you?”

“It sure is, honey.” The girl named Sugar replied.

Fluttershy was a bit shaky. But, Sugar gave her a sweet hug to comfort her.

“What are you doing here?” Fluttershy wondered.

Fluttershy and Sugar sat down at a table near the back door. Soon, Sugar gave an explanation. “Your friend, Tree Hugger, called and told me what happened.”

“She did?” Fluttershy gasped.

“That she did. You must’ve been heartbroken.”

“That’s putting it mildly.” Fluttershy explains. “I presented to my teacher, Mr. Cranky Doodle, a series of pictures for a project I did. Showing how plants grow. I chose a bell pepper plant, that grew different colored peppers.”

“Oh my.” Sugar said happily. “That sounds impressive.”

“It would’ve. If the brutal Adagio Dazzle didn’t step up, ripped my poster to pieces, and threw it out.”

Sugar was scared to hear that. “Oh, dear. I hope you salvaged the pictures.”

“I did. But, I was so upset, I cried all the way home.”

Fluttershy bent her head down in despair. But, Sugar comforted her. “Don’t cry, my friend. Since you saved the pictures, you could probably recreate that poster.”

The nature lover realized that Sugar may have a point. “Yes. I can come back from this. Just like how you came back from your nightmare.”

“Nightmare?” Sugar wondered.

“That dark day when Spike of The Heavy Metal Sisters burned your face with her blowtorch.”

“That’s right.” Sugar said, knowing what Fluttershy is talking about. “After that happened, I was scared. But, I was determined to get back in the ring. For a while, I had to wear a mask to hide those nasty burns.”

“You’re a brave soul, Sugar.”

Sugar felt pleased to hear that praise. She and Fluttershy hugged each other happily.

24. Nightmares Revealed

Author's Note

This is what happens when a posh party gets interrupted by the frightening duo of Spike and Chainsaw. Also known as The Heavy Metal Sisters .

24. Nightmares Revealed

At Hoity Toity’s posh pad, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer have a word with one of the upper crust of Canterlot City society.

“This is a nightmare.” Hoity Toity said with concern. “My beautiful vast backyard area is no longer safe for my garden parties.”

“Why is that?” Twilight asked.

Hoity Toity have a sad explanation. “For the past three nights, my guests heard hideous noises. Hideous screaming, a chainsaw buzzing, and puffs of fire in the air.”

“I can imagine how you feel, Sir.” Sunset said. “Those kind of sounds can frighten anyone.”

“What are we going to do?”

The socialite feels upset. Twilight arrives to comfort him. “Don’t you worry, Mr. Hoity Toity. We’ll find the source of this disturbance, and put a stop to it.”

“You will?” Hoity asked. “How?”

“Here’s my plan.”

Later that night, Hoity Toity reluctantly hosts another garden party. At another area of the backyard, Twilight and Sunset are keeping their eyes open.

“Everything set, Sunset?” Twilight asked quietly.

“All set.” Sunset whispered. “If those noises come back, Flash Sentry is standing by with the spotlight.”

“Excellent. Now we’ll see who causing trouble.”

Five minutes later, the sound of a chainsaw breaks the peace and quiet. As well as voices screeching, and fireballs shooting into the air. As the crowd starts to panic, Twilight whistles, and Flash turns on the spotlight. The light exposes two wild looking women.

Each woman has on wild looking makeup surrounding their eyes. One has frizzy black hair and is holding a chainsaw. The other woman has frizzy blond hair as she carries what looks like a blowtorch.

“It’s Spike and Chainsaw!” Sunset realized.

Twilight was shocked. “The Heavy Metal Sisters?”

The crowd gasped as Hoity Toity approached the intruders angrily. “What is the meaning of this?!”

The woman with black hair, Chainsaw, gave an answer. “We were in town and thought we spice up your party!” She gives out a nasty screech.

“Spice up my party? You scare my guests!”

“So what?” The blond woman, Spike, replied. “It’s a lot of fun for us.”

The evil sisters laugh maniacally as Twilight and Sunset approached them.

“I think you better leave here now.” Twilight demanded. “Or, we’re going to make a phone call!”

Chainsaw revved up her weapon. “To who, little girl? The police? We’re not scared of the cops.”

“No,” Sunset replied, “the mental hospital. I heard that you two need more therapy.”

The maniacs soon got concerned. They have been institutionalized many times in the past.

“We better get out of here.” Spike suggested. “I don’t want to end up in a straitjacket again!”

Chainsaw nodded. Soon, The Heavy Metal Sisters ran away from the estate.

“I hope that’s the last time The Heavy Metal Sisters crash my party.” Hoity Toity hoped.

“I’m sure Spike and Chainsaw will keep their distance now.” Twilight Sparkle assured. “Let’s rejoin the party.”

As things calm down, the party resumed without anymore disturbances.

25. Southern Coaching

Author's Note

Vinyl Scratch will soon learn proper manners from Scarlett and Tara. The Southern Belles. Rest In Peace, Tara.

25. Southern Coaching

Vinyl Scratch, A.K.A. DJ Pon-3, walked down the streets with a worried look on her face.

“Oh, man. What a fix I’m in.” Vinyl said to herself. “I got invited to attend a social event in Canterlot City. What’s more, my roommate, Octavia, recommended that I get invited. I don’t know how to behave in an event like this.”

Vinyl then looked at a piece of paper she carried. It directed her to a social club in town. When she arrived, a young sky blue skinned man with deep blue hair and wearing a full black tuxedo greeted her at the door.

“Miss Vinyl Scratch, I presume?” The young man said with a British accent.

“Eh, y..y..yes. That’s me.” Vinyl replied, getting nervous.

“Welcome, madam. You’re being expected. Follow me, please.”

Vinyl follows the young man inside the building. Vinyl was amazed. People socializing with each other, big windows with views of the neighborhood. And some shelves of books line the walls.

Twilight Sparkle would be impressed with all of these books. Vinyl thought.

The DJ was lead to another room. There sat two women with flowing blond hair, and wearing similar outfits. Frilly long sleeve shirts, and skirts down to the ankles, and they wore platform shoes. The difference is the colors. One wears full on sky blue, the other wore full on pink.

Vinyl saw the women, and got the shock of her life. “I don’t believe it. Scarlett and Tara: The Southern Belles.”

The lady in blue, Scarlett, greeted the visitor. “Hello, Miss Scratch. A pleasure to meet you.”

Vinyl got nervous. How does she react to these ladies of the south? The lady in pink, Tara, walked over to comfort her. “Come, come, my dear. No need to be afraid.”

Vinyl was escorted by Tara to sit down at her table.

“We understand that you were invited to a social event here at Canterlot City.” Tara said. “Is that true?”

“That’s right.” Vinyl replied nervously. “I was recommended by my roommate.”

“Your roommate is the elegant Octavia Melody, I believe.” Scarlett added. “That was nice of her to do so.”

“Crazy is more like it.” The DJ starts to get nervous. “What was she thinking?”

As Vinyl panics, Scarlett comforts her. “Calm yourself, Miss Scratch. I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m positive. Miss Melody figured that you can use a little change of atmosphere.”

“And, that’s where we come in.” Tara informed. “We are going to guide you on how to adjust to any environment.”

Vinyl soon simmered down a little. “You..you are?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

This is a surprise for Vinyl Scratch. Allowing The Southern Belles to help her learn about how to behave in social events.

“We’re renting a place here in Canterlot City.” Scarlett informed. “Perhaps some time with us will help start your education.”

With one week before the social event, Vinyl does what she can to learn proper manners fast. Scarlett and Tara give her briefings on mannerism. Asking elegant friends to demonstrate how it’s done. They even show Vinyl some books she might like to read.

It was very shaky at first, but Vinyl started to learn, little by little. As the days roll on, Vinyl starts showing her coaches that she can adjust. Given a charming outfit, Vinyl starts to show elegance. Showing a proper curtsy to guests. Learning how to talk properly. And, being quite the lady. This made Scarlett and Tara very proud of their student.

The event arrived. It took place at the same building where Vinyl met the Southern Belles. Dressed in a sky blue shirt with deep blue sleeves, a long magenta skirt, and blue platform shoes, The DJ enjoyed herself as her roommate, Octavia, approached her. Octavia has on a long teal sleeveless gown, long red gloves, and black shoes.

“I’m very proud of you.” Octavia praised. “You behaved quite well.”

“Thanks, Tavi.” Vinyl replied quietly. “Scarlett and Tara were right. I CAN adjust well.”

Octavia was surprised to hear those names. “You mean your coaches were The Southern Belles?”

Vinyl nodded as she was approached by a yellow skinned man with marigold hair and wearing a blue tuxedo with a black bow tie and black shoes.

“You met the noble Southern Belles?” The man asked.

“Yes, I did.” Vinyl answered elegantly. “Those southern ladies gave me some pointers about proper manners.”

“Well then, come with me. Some of my friends would love to hear this.”

Smiling, Vinyl followed the young man as Octavia watched proudly. “Good work, Vinyl. You made me proud.”

26. A Different Shade of Red

Author's Note

Many people see Spanish Red as an aggressive person. But, even the toughest people can have a gentle side, as Pinkie Pie will discover.

26. A Different Shade of Red

Inside an exotic restaurant called the Tasty Treat, Rarity and Pinkie Pie enjoy lunchtime together.

“I’m glad that you suggested this place.” Rarity praised.

“Thanks.” Pinkie replied as she took a bite of some brazed lamb. “I heard many good things about this place.”

“Indeed. It might look a bit rustic. But the food is fabulous.” Rarity took a bite of some chicken marsala. “The chef of this place, Saffron Marsala, traveled all over the world to learn her craft.”

“That’s what I heard too.” Pinkie took a sip of water. “It’s her cooking that makes this place amazing.”

Pinkie then saw another patron enjoying the food. It is a woman with flowing black hair and wearing a short sleeved red shirt and flowing red skirt. And this lady has on red shoes.

“This food is tasty.” The woman said to Saffron Marsala, who was passing by. “You did very good.”

“Thank you, my friend.” Saffron said. “I’m happy that you enjoy my cooking.”

Pinkie looked at the woman with uncertainty. Later, the two girls left the restaurant with full bellies, very satisfied.

“Good work suggesting this place, Pinkie.” Rarity said happily.

“Thanks.” Replied the party girl. She then became a bit concerned. “But, I’m a little relieved to get out of there. That woman, Spanish Red, gave me an uneasy feeling.”

Rarity was confused by that name. “Spanish Red? Who is that?”

Her answer came from a Latin woman’s voice. “That would be me, señorita.”

Pinkie and Rarity turned and saw that same woman from the restaurant. This time, she added an elegant hat and flowing cape.

“You’re Spanish Red?” Rarity asked.

“Si.” The woman named Red answered. “I can understand why your poofy haired friend has an uneasy feeling about me.”

“You’re one of those mean girls lead by the scheming Aunt Kitty!” Pinkie angrily said. “Aren’t you?”

“Yes, I am.” Red replied as she approached the party girl. “But, I’m not always mean.”

Pinkie Pie was surprised to hear that. “You’re not?”

“No, my friend. My aggression is when I’m in the wrestling ring.”

Rarity soon had a thought. “Of course. You had a long feud with Americana. Haven’t you?”

“Correct. Despite what I think of her, Americana is a worthy adversary. Even she has respect for me.”

Pinkie soon had tears in her eyes. Rarity noticed this. “Are you alright, Pinkie?”

“I feel so silly.” Pinkie sadly said. “I’m sorry, Red.”

Pinkie starts to cry when Red came and gave her a hug. “It’s okay, amigo. We all make mistakes. Nothing to cry about.”

The party girl soon felt relieved. “Thanks, Red. I feel better.”

Satisfied, Red prepared to leave. Soon, she gives Rarity and Pinkie Pie each a rose.

“Thank you, darling.” Rarity praised.

“You’re welcome, my friends.” Red said proudly as she gets ready to leave. “Adios, amigos.”

Spanish Red leaves the area. The two girls are very proud to talk with her.

“I guess even girls like Spanish Red can have a kind heart.” Pinkie figured.

Rarity agreed with her. “Yes. True.”

27. Great Day for Beach Girls

Author's Note

It's beach time with GLOW's residential beach bunnies, Sunny and The California Doll.

27. Great Day for Beach Girls

Carrying her surfboard, Applejack looks at the waves, ready to surf. Soon, she sees Rainbow Dash surfing the waves. Alongside her, is an athletic girl with poofy blond hair, wearing a black full length wetsuit riding her own board.

Rainbow and the surfer girl finished riding the wave, and went over the beach.

“Howdy, RD.” Applejack greeted. “Tamin’ them waves, I see.”

“You bet.” Rainbow replied. “Alongside my surfing companion here.”

Applejack suddenly recognized the surfer girl. “Hoo-wee! Sunny, the California Girl.”

“How did you recognize me?” The girl named Sunny asked.

“I took a gander online and saw you in a battle against that Australian warrior: Beastie.”

Rainbow Dash was surprised to hear that. Then, turned to Sunny. “You are one of the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling?”

“That’s right.” Sunny answered. “Check out my surfboard.”

Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at Sunny’s board. It’s deep teal with bright yellow letters spelling out “GLOW”.

“Pretty good design, Sunny.” Applejack praised.

“Thanks.” Sunny replied. “I’m not the only California girl visiting this beach.”

At the lifeguard station, Timber Spruce saw a girl with wavy blond hair and wearing a blue T shirt and lavender board shorts coming. After stopping, she started stretching, and getting in shape.

“Hey.” Timber gasped. “The California Doll. What brings you here?”

“I was asked to be a lifeguard for the day.” Doll answered.

“That makes sense.” Timber replied as he approaches the visitor. “Being a beach bunny yourself, you see lifeguards do their duty a lot.”

“You got it. I got to get ready for anything.”

Suddenly, they hear the sound of a young girl crying for help. They both see a light teal skinned girl with red hair and wearing a purple one piece swimsuit struggling in the water.

“Looks like she’s in trouble.” Timber realized as he takes of his shirt. “I’m going in. Doll, you grab the life preserver at the station.”

California Doll sees the preserver with a rope attached to it. “Gotcha. Be careful.”

Timber goes into the water and swims to the girl. As he comes to carry her, Doll rushes in with the preserver.

“Catch, Timber!” Doll calls out as she tosses the ring to Timber.

He places the life preserver through the girl.

“Hand on tight.” Timber said to the victim as he turns to his partner. “Okay, CD. Pull away!”

Nodding, California Doll pulls the rope, pulling the girl to shore. Minutes later, a female doctor examined the girl’s leg.

“You just had a cramp.” The doctor said. “Just get some rest.”

The girl nodded and turned to her rescuers. “Thank you, Timber. Thank you, California Doll.”

The two lifeguards high fived each other as the girl slowly walks away. Rainbow Dash and friends approached the station.

“We saw the whole thing, Timber.” Dash said with relief. “Everything okay?”

“Everything’s fine.” Timber replied. “Me and my partner here made a good team.”

Rainbow Dash and Applejack were both shocked. “The California Doll?” They both gasped.

“You were expecting your friend: Sunset Shimmer?” Doll said humorously.

“I didn’t know you’re friends with the California Doll, Sunny.” Applejack said.

“We beach girls do stick together.” Sunny stated.

“That’s a good point.”

"Speaking of points," California Doll informed, "here's a point to ponder. If birds who fly around the sea are called sea gulls, shouldn't birds who fly around the bay be called.." Everyone listened with anticipation. "bay gulls?"

Everybody laughed at that punchline.

"I forgot about the California Doll's Points to Ponder." Rainbow said as she chuckled.

"They are quite a hoot." Applejack added.

Classic joke from GLOW

LITTLE EGYPT: How come Hollywood and Vine do not take up forgery?
CALIFORNIA DOLL: Because they can't write that small with spray cans.

30. Smiles in the Diner

Author's Note

What happens when Phyllis and Arlene, The Housewives, visit the diner Pinkie Pie works at? Not what you expect.

30. Smiles in the Diner

The diner is bustling with the usual morning activities. Pinkie Pie rolling along helping to serve customers. Patrons enjoying each other and their meals. Sandalwood and Micro Chips both enjoy some pancakes, bacon, and sausage when they see two unusual women enjoying some coffee.

Both have make up all over their faces, and rollers in their hair. One woman is wearing a brown robe, sky blue pajamas, and red sneakers. The other woman wore a sky blue robe, white pajamas, and gray sneakers.

“Those are the most unusual ladies I ever seen.” Micro noticed.

“But, they’re strong.” Sandalwood figured. “Those dames are Phyllis and Arlene. They’re known as the Housewives.”

“The Housewives?” Micro blurted. “I heard of them. But, why do they have to have all of that makeup on in a place like this?”

“That’s simple, kid.” The woman in the brown robe, Phyllis, answered. “We GLOW girls each have what you call trademarks.”

“That’s right!” The other woman, Arlene, added. “This look we’re sporting is ours. This is how we’re recognized.”

Micro realized that the Housewives are right. “That’s a good point.”

Pinkie then arrived with two breakfast plates to the Housewives’ table.

“Breakfast time!” Pinkie chirped as she places the plates on the table. “French toast for Arlene, and ham steak and eggs for Phyllis, with a side of toast.”

“Thanks, miss.” Phyllis said pleasingly. “This food looks good.”

“Would you like a coffee refill?”

“Not yet.” Arlene replied.

Pinkie rolled back to behind the counter, Happy to serve any customer.

“I’m impressed with you today, Pinkie.” Fellow waitress Sandy Sugarsocks said.

“How so?” Pinkie wondered.

“You can keep any customer happy. Even the Housewives.”

The waitresses see Phyllis and Arlene enjoy their food. Phyllis sees Arlene adding some syrup to her French toast, and decided to take a little taste of that syrup.

“Mmm.” Phyllis chirped. “Strawberry syrup. Pretty good.”

“That’s why I like it.” Arlene informed. “This syrup tastes better than the normal maple syrup.”

Phyllis nodded as she sees Pinkie rolling around.

“Excuse me, Miss.” Phyllis called.

Pinkie rolled over to the Housewives’ table. “Yes?”

Phyllis holds up her cup. “We’ll have that refill you offered earlier.”

“Okey dokee.”

Pinkie zipped off, and zipped back with a pot of coffee. She poured coffee into their cups. As she was leaving, Arlene called to her. “Hold on a minute.”

“Something I can get you?” Pinkie wondered.

Arlene puts her coffee down, and stood up to face the perky waitress. “Thanks for everything, Miss Pinkie Pie.” She gave Pinkie a small kiss on the cheek. “You’re a good kid.”

Feeling proud of that praise, Pinkie rolls off as the Housewives continue to enjoy their meal.

Praise from the Housewives. Pinkie thought. This’ll be a day I’ll never forget.

31. Three Cheerleaders for the Wonderbolts

Rainbow Dash and her soccer buddies are joined by The Cheerleaders. Susie Spirit, Debbie Debutante, and Vicky Victory.

31. Three Cheerleaders for the Wonderbolts

It was the end of an exciting soccer game, and the Wonderbolts pulled off a great victory. Inside the locker room, after showering and changing, the team discuss their win.

“I can’t believe that we won!” Misty Fly cheered.

“I’m with you.” Fleet Foot agreed. “That crowd was really behind us.”

Rainbow Dash came in to join the team. “You can thank me for that.”

“How DID you pump up the crowd like that anyway, Rainbow Dash?” Team Captain Spitfire asked.

“I had a bit of help.”

Everybody was a little confused. Including Soarin’ Skies. “Who did you call to help you, Rainbow?”

Rainbow gave a loud whistle, and a trio of ladies show up. One has black hair, and wearing a red uniform with two yellow Ss sticker on. Another had blond hair, and wearing a similar uniform. Except, this one is yellow with two red Ds stitched on it.

The third has wavy red hair, and wears a uniform similar to the black haired girl. Except, this uniform has two yellow Vs stitched on.

“No way!” Spitfire gasped. “It’s the Cheerleaders! Susie Spirit and Debbie Debutante!”

“And, their protege.” Soarin’ added. “Vicky Victory!”

Everybody we’re wide eyed at the sight of these three ladies.

“I never expected to see you three to help us.” Spitfire said.

“Your teammate, Rainbow Dash, gave us a call the night before your big game.” The black haired girl, Susie Spirit, explains. “She figures that you guys can use some extra support from the crowd.”

“And, that’s where we come in.” The blond haired girl, Debbie Debutante added. “With our skills, we got the audience pumped and supportive. That is what lead to your victory.”

“Pretty clever to call for backup, Rainbow.” Spitfire praised.

“Thanks.” Rainbow Dash replied proudly. “But, I was very surprised when they brought Vicky Victory with them.”

The third cheerleader, Vicky Victory, stepped up. “Since I am learning from Susie and Debbie, I might as well help out.”

“And, what a team they made!”

Misty Fly cautiously approached Vicky. “Excuse me, Miss Victory. How’s your relationship with that Indian girl?”

“You mean Cheyenne Cher?” Vicky replied. “It’s great! I trained her well. Just like how Susie and Debbie trained me.”

“We watched Vicky and Cheyenne work together in the wrestling ring.” Susie said. “They work well together.”

“Just like we do.” Debbie added.

The team agree. Spitfire made an announcement. “I suggest that we go to the diner to celebrate!”

Everybody cheered about that idea.

“Susie, Debbie, Vicky, how about coming along?” Spitfire suggested.

The three cheerleaders thought for a moment. They nodded, and Susie Spirit gave a response. “Good idea. Lead the way.”

Lead by Spitfire, the soccer team and the Cheerleaders went their way to celebrate their big win.

32. Voodoo and Astrology Working Together

Author's Note

The Rainbooms are meeting the unusual duo of the voodoo queen, Big Bad Mama, and the girl of the cosmos, Star. Rest in peace, BBM.

32. Voodoo and Astrology Working Together

Twilight and her fellow Rainbooms took a stroll through Canterlot Park. But, it’s not for pleasure.

“Are you sure about this, Rainbow Dash?” Rarity asked.

“Yeah!” Dash responded. “For the past three days, this strange looking woman has been coming here with all kinds of stuff.”

“What does she look like?” Sunset Shimmer asked curiously.

“This woman is huge.” The daredevil of the group replied. “She has curly brown hair, she’s wearing a peach colored dress, and has her face painted. Half white, half black.”

“Hmmm.” Applejack hummed. “Sounds familiar to me.”

“To you?” Pinkie gulped.

“Yup. Sounds like somebody I heard so much about.”

Just then, Rainbow pointed to another area. “Look! There she is!”

The girls looked ahead, and saw the woman Rainbow Dash talked about. She has a table set up with candles and a small cauldron on top. This woman wore some beads and is chanting.

“Oh my.” Fluttershy squeaked. “She looks scary.”

Applejack looked at this stranger. “I thought this is her. Come on.”

As the girls took a closer, the stranger spotted them, and gave them a greeting with a southern accent. “Well, well. The upcoming music group, the Rainbooms. This is a pleasant surprise.

“I thought my friend, Rainbow Dash, was describing you,” Applejack replied, “Big Bad Mama.”

Everybody was surprised to hear that name.

“Big...Bad...Mama?” Fluttershy gulped.

“Of course.” Rarity realized. “The voodoo queen from New Orleans, Louisiana.”

“I’m touched that even an elegant lady like you knows my reputation, Miss Rarity.” Big Bad Mama said.

“She must know who we are,” Dash figured, “if she knows our names.”

Sunset Shimmer walks up to the voodoo queen. “What are you doing here in Canterlot City, BBM?”

“I’m here for a voodoo convention here in town, Miss Sunset Shimmer.” Bid Bad replied. “I heard that many voodoo experts will be gathering, explaining different voodoo methods.”

“And, you’ve been invited to take part?” Applejack asked.

“That’s right, Miss Applejack. The convention people heard of my reputation in and out of the wrestling ring. They figured I blend right in.”

“Like the pieces of a haunted puzzle.” Pinkie Pie added.

Big Bad Mama smiled at Pinkie’s comment as she admired the evening sky. “The stars are with me tonight. And, I’m sure they’ll guide me during that event.

Rainbow Dash was surprised to hear that statement. “The stars are with her? When is this voodoo expert into astrology?”

“I think Big Bad Mama has got advice from someone else.” Twilight figured. “Namely, the girl of the cosmos: Star.”

From Big Bad’s booth steps a young lady wearing a dark blue outfit and a black cape. She has frizzy sparkly hair and a galaxy print on her stomach as she speaks to Twilight. “I always heard that you’re a smart one, Twilight Sparkle.”

The crew were shocked to see this extra visitor.

“Oh my.” Fluttershy squeaked. “I never expected to see someone like her.”

“What brings you here, Star?” Pinkie asked.

“I can answer that, Miss Pinkie Pie.” Big Bad Mama answered. “Even a voodoo expert like me can use some help, especially with the voodoo convention in town. Fortunately, Star was available. With her astrology knowledge, my participation will go very nicely.”

“Big Bad Mama is right.” Star added. “Voodoo and Astrology can work well together.”

The girls were very satisfied, and started to leave.

“Time for us to go.” Twilight said. “Good luck to you both.”

“Thanks, girls.” Big Bad Mama replied. “Come by the exhibition hall if you wish to see this event for yourselves.”

The girls head for home. They are very impressed with the participation of Big Bad Mama and Star. Rainbow Dash, however, is a little off balance about this.

“Big Bad Mama and Star.” Dash thought out loud. “There’s an odd couple for you.”

33. Small, But Brutal

Author's Note

When the vicious Gremlina starts brutalizing people, Bulk Biceps and Sunset Shimmer are determined to stop her.

33. Small, But Brutal

Derpy Hooves sat down in a pizza place, crying her eyes out. Bulk Biceps tries to comfort her as Sunset Shimmer comes in, and sees this scene.

“Hey, guys.” Sunset greeted. “What’s going on?”

“It’s horrible!” Derpy sobbed. “I was just minding my own business, when this mean woman showed up, yelled at me, and took some kind of billy club to whack me a few times. It was embarrassing!”

“Who would do something like this?” Bulk said angrily.

Hearing the conversation, Tree Hugger stood up and joined the others. “That happened to me yesterday. But, after I went home, I started to get my groove back.”

“You too, Tree Hugger?” Sunset gasped. “What did this bully look like?”

“Really not cool. She was, like, as small as Apple Bloom and her friends, she wore this bogus gray and black outfit, and has black in the middle of her wavy blond hair.”

Sunset thought about the description. Then, she had a thought.

“I think I got it.” Sunset said. “Sounds like Derpy and Tree Hugger were attacked by the ruthless Gremlina.”

“Gremlina?” Bulk blurted. “Isn’t she that little person that used to boss Daisy around?”

“Yep. Until Daisy had enough of that brutal treatment, and dumped that creep.”

Derpy got a little more nervous. “With that brute around, nobody is safe.”

Sunset calmed her down. “Don’t worry, Derpy. I’ll help in dealing with her.”

Later that day, Sunset and Bulk were in the neighborhood, looking for Gremlina.

“Is Derpy going to be okay, Bulk?” Sunset asked with concern.

“Yeah.” Bulk answered. “She's hanging out at Tree Hugger’s house. Poor Derpy had to be put in a straitjacket to calm her down.”

Sunset imagines Derpy in a straitjacket, being restrained so she won’t hurt herself. “Whoa. That’s a scary sight.”

“I know. But, it’s for her own protection.”

Suddenly, they hear a girl scream for help. Sunset recognizes the voice. “That’s Wallflower Blush! Come on!”

Bulk and Sunset rushes off to the rescue. Meanwhile, Wallflower was being whacked multiple times by a small angry woman that fits the description Tree Hugger gave.

“Stop!” Wallflower pleaded. “I didn’t do anything to hurt you.”

“Quiet, freak!” The small woman demanded. “There’s no room for imperfections!”

Sunset and Bulk arrived in time. Wallflower saw them, and ran to them.

“You’re right!” Bulk said to Sunset. “It IS Gremlina!”

“Sunset!” Wallflower sobbed. “This strange person started to hurt me.”

Gremlina soon spoke to the former bully. “Sunset? Oh. Sunset Shimmer. The former brute of Canterlot High School.”

“What the idea hurting my friend?” Sunset demanded.

“That plant lover should have stayed alone instead of having any friends!” Gremlina answered. “I always liked when she’s often forgotten.”

Sunset was shocked to hear that. “That’s crazy, Gremlina. Just like when you beat up Derpy Hooves and Tree Hugger.”

Gremlina didn’t care what she said. “That Derpy kid’s eyes were too cross eyed. As for Tree Hugger, I don’t like hippie folks.”

Suddenly, Bulk Biceps grabbed her and lifted her up.

“Nobody picks on our friends.” Bulk informed as he puts down a trash can. “Time for you to learn your OWN place!”

He then places Gremlina in the trash can and closes the lid.

“Right where she belongs,” Sunset informed, “with the rest of trash!”

Wallflower Blush felt a lot of relief as Bulk returned to the girls.

“How about we go to Tree Hugger’s place to check on Derpy?” Bulk suggested. “Wallflower, come with us.”

“Sure. Thanks.” Wallflower Blush replied.

The three friends walked away from the trash can. Gremlina lifted the lid and realized her predicament. Oh boy. Talk about deja vu.

34. A Dazzling Encounter

Author's Note

The Dazzlings have an unexpected meeting with the gossip maiden, Tiffany Mellon.

34. A Dazzling Encounter

It was a Saturday in Canterlot City. The infamous trio known as the Dazzlings left a white building. As they walk down the streets, they seem a little upset.

“I can’t believe this!” Sonata Dusk shouted angrily. “It’s so not fair!”

“Calm yourself, Sonata.” Adagio Dazzle said, trying to calm her down.

“But, Adagio! Aria is the best gamer. She should ALWAYS win!!”

“No need to blow your top.” Aria Blaze said. “That Gilda was just more ready than I was.”

Aria was reviewing that she was in a video game contest against Gilda from Griffonstone High. Gilda chose the video game “Mouse Trap”. Though Aria was mastering the board, Gilda was more focused, and won the challenge.

“Aria got a little nervous.” Adagio informed. “Avoiding those cats and that hawk is not easy.”

Sonata was still fuming. “But, Aria has the moves down to a science! Why did she lose?!”

Sonata started to cry. Aria hopes to calm her down. “Take it easy, Sonata. We’ll treat you to some tacos.”

That quieted Sonata down quick. Suddenly, A blond haired woman wearing a glittery golden jacket, red shirt, gold skirt, and bright yellow shoes showed up.

“I can see the headlines now!” The woman said excitedly. “Dazzling Clipped by Griffon Girl!”

The Dazzlings were shocked to see this woman. Adagio walked up to confront her. “What are you doing in Canterlot City, Tiffany Mellon? More gossip for your column?”

“I can’t help it. If there’s a story, I’m all over it!”

Sonata Dusk soon realized something. “Tiffany Mellon? Oh my gosh! She’s one of The Park Avenue Knockouts along with Roxy Astor!”

“Oh, yeah.” Aria added. “This dame always looks for any juicy story.”

Miss Mellon then approached Aria. “I watched your video game battle with Miss Gilda. You must’ve gotten upset after that lost.”

“I was upset.” Aria replied. “I realized that Gilda loves old school video games more than me. I guess I like today’s games.”

“She’s right.” Adagio added. “She racked up good high scores on a dance game at another arcade.”

“Really?” Tiffany said. “I’d like to see that someday.”

“Someday, Tiffany,” Aria stated, “you will.”

“Okay. I’ll hold you to it!”

Soon, Tiffany’s phone in her purse starts to ring. “Excuse me, girls.”

As the Golden gossip maiden answers her phone, the Dazzlings talk about this visitor.

“How do you know about these..uh...Park Avenue Knockouts?” Aria asked Sonata.

“I’ve been going on YouTube to see these classic GLOW matches.” Sonata answered. “I’ve seen a battle between The Park Avenue Knockouts and those mighty Russians.”

“That would be Ninotchka and Major Tanya.” Adagio figured.

“You got it.”

Tiffany then returned to the group. “There’s a video game tournament in town! You girls interested in seeing it?”

The Dazzlings give an answer together. “YEAH!”

“Great!” Tiffany cheered as she sees a limousine coming. “Here comes our ride.”

A beautiful limousine pulled up to the sidewalk. Tiffany opened the door for Adagio and company. “Let’s go, girls!”

The Dazzlings stepped into the limo with Tiffany behind them. As she closed the door, she gave a command. “To the Canterlot Convention Hall.”

The limo driver then drove off. The Dazzlings appreciates this ride to the video game tournament. They realized that Tiffany Mellon is a decent person after all.

36. Star Spangled Birthday

Author's Note

Pinkie is helping to prepare for Limestone’s birthday. And, the patriotic Liberty is helping out.

36. Star Spangled Birthday

“Are you sure it was a good idea for Pinkie to decorate the backyard for Limestone’s birthday party?” Cloudy Quartz asked.

“I’m not sure myself.” Her husband, Igneous Rock Pie, answered. “But, she insisted that she sets it up. She is a party expert, you know.”

“At least Limestone won’t be back for a few hours.”

When the couple entered the backyard, they were astounded. There were red, white, and blue balloons and streamers along the fence. They also saw American flag and fireworks designs on the tables where guests sit, and lights set up.

Pinkie finished putting up more streamers when she saw her parents. “Oh! Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.”

“This is very impressive, young lady.” Igneous Rock praised. “But, this looks more like a Fourth of July celebration than a birthday party.”

“Well,” Pinkie confesses, “I had a bit of help.”

Out comes a lady with curly dark brown hair, and wears a leotard that’s red on top and blue on the bottom with white down the middle. She has blue boots on as well.

“Oh my.” Cloudy Quartz gasped. “Liberty.”

“You recognize her, Mom?” Pinkie wondered.

“I do, Pinkie. I saw Limestone watching a match on YouTube last week. I believe it was Liberty and Justice vs. the infamous Hollywood and Broadway Rose. Limestone was cheering for the patriotic duo.”

“It’s nice to have fans, no matter how old.” Liberty praised.

“But, what brings this powerful lady here?” Igneous Rock asked.

Pinkie answered her father’s question. “Since I heard that Limestone likes Liberty and Justice, I figured to decorate this backyard to reflect her appreciation to what Liberty’s all about.”

“Pinkie saw me after an autograph session.” Liberty continued. “She told me about her sister’s birthday coming up. So, I came here earlier to help her out.”

“She even prepared a present for Limestone.” Pinkie squealed.

“Very impressive.” Cloudy Quartz praised. “Well done.”

Later that day, Limestone and Maud walked home from the movie theater.

“What do you think of the movie we saw?” Maud asked in her usual tone.

“Pretty cool!” Limestone replied. “I’m glad that we’re spending time together. I wonder what’s happening at home.”

Maud soon got a text message, and understood what to do. “Limestone, how about we go into the backyard. Maybe we can relax for a bit.”

“Sure.” Limestone agreed.

When they opened the gate, many people jumped out and yelled, “SURPRISE!”

Limestone’s eyes widened as the theme of “The Mighty Heroes” was played through loudspeakers. The birthday girl was astonished as tears of joy came dripping down her face.

“Happy Birthday, Limestone!” Pinkie cheered as she came out wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with white stars on it. She also wore a pair of red capris with white stripes going down.

“Pinkie!” Limestone said happily as she hugged her sister. “I should have guessed you set this up. You always know how to throw a party.”

“I have another surprise for you!”

Then, Liberty stepped out in her outfit. She now added her Statue of Liberty crown and her glittery flag cape. “Happy Birthday, Miss Limestone.”

“No way!” Limestone said excitingly. “Liberty!”

Liberty and Limestone hugged each other happily. Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz watch with admiration. As the party progressed, things went well. People danced to music, enjoyed food provided, and Limestone is feeling very happy for this day.

“Pleased with this party, my dear?” Igneous Rock asked.

“I sure am, Dad.” Limestone replied as she admires a cape she wore. “This cape Liberty and Pinkie made is amazing!”

The cape is blue, decorated with white stars and red and white stripes. Marble, the youngest Pie sister was astounded. “That cape is grand. Pinkie and Liberty did a good job.”

“Hey there, Pie Family.” Liberty announced. “How about a family picture to remember this day?”

Everyone agreed. Maud, Marble, and Pinkie sat on chairs while Igneous Rock, Limestone, Liberty, and Cloudy Quartz stood. Maud’s boyfriend, Mud Briar, who came to the party readied a camera. “Okay, friends. Smile for the camera!”

They all smiled as Mud Briar took the picture. This was indeed a patriotic birthday for Limestone.

37. Possible Dark Day at the Races

Author's Note

The Widow in Black is in town. Time to see what she’s up to.

37. Possible Dark Day at the Races

Sweetie Belle gives a nice paint job on a go kart she and her friends, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, have been working on. She paints it blue with some yellow, white, and orange stripes.

“This will really look good for the go kart race this Saturday.” Sweetie Belle figured.

“I know.” Apple Bloom agreed. “Me and Scoots will be cheering for ya.”

“Thanks, you guys. I hope Rarity will be proud of me.”

“Not to worry.” Scootaloo said. “Everyone will be cheering for you. You have nothing to worry about.”

Sweetie Belle felt relieved. Just then, an eerie looking woman with dark brown hair and wearing a long black long sleeve gown and black shoes approached the trio.

“Preparing for a go kart race, I see.” The strange woman said.

Scootaloo saw this stranger, and marched up to her. “What do you think you’re doing, Widow?”

“I’m just wishing your friend good luck.” The person named Widow replied as she presents Sweetie Belle a bouquet of black roses. “She’ll need it.”

Seeing the dark bouquet, Sweetie Belle freaked out as the woman walked away while laughing wickedly.

“That woman is creepy.” Sweetie Belle said nervously.

Apple Bloom realized who she is. “Scootaloo, was that the eerie Widow in Black?”

“That’s her all right.” Scootaloo answered. “She’s one of the creepiest characters in Aunt Kitty’s crew.”

Sweetie Belle calmed down and turned to her friends. “I’m not going to let anyone intimidate me! Especially the Widow in Black.”

“That’s the spirit.” Scootaloo cheered as the three friends placed their hands in the middle. Saturday came, and in a closed of section of Canterlot City, the youngsters got their go karts ready for the race.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” moderator Miss Cherilee announced, “Are you ready?”

Everybody cheered until The Widow made her own announcement. “We are gathered here today to honor the loss of one of these racers. Not in life. But, a loss in this race. I’m referring to miss Sweetie Belle. Your hopes of victory will be laid to rest.”

The Widow left the scene, leaving everybody in the stands speechless.

“Don’t let that grim figure scare you folks.” Miss Cherilee announced. “Let’s get ready.”

The racers are standing by as Miss Cherilee gives the signal. “Ready....set.... GO!”

The gate lifted and the go karts rolled down the hill. Everybody cheered as the karts speed down, Sweetie Belle steered her way safely. One of the racers, Diamond Tiara, was surprised when Sweetie Belle past her.

“She’s not a quitter,” Diamond said to herself, “despite what that Widow in Black tried to do.”

The crowd at the bottom of the street cheered as Timber Spruce waited with checkered flag in hand. Sweetie Belle crossed the line, and Timber waved the checkered flag. Then, he announced, “The winner is Sweetie Belle!”

Everybody cheered for Sweetie Belle. Even Diamond Tiara was impressed as she shook her hand in friendship. “Congratulations, Sweetie Belle.”

Meanwhile, watching from a distance, the Widow in Black was upset that Sweetie Belle wasn’t scared of her tactics. Silver Spoon approaches the grim figure.

“Looks like your plan to scare Sweetie Belle was the ONLY thing that got laid to rest.” Silver Spoon said as she left the area laughing.

The Widow got annoyed at that comment. “Very funny.”

38. Western Girls Day Out

Author's Note

When Applejack has a problem, Dallas and Tulsa show up to comfort her.

38. Western Girls Day Out

One Saturday afternoon, after helping Granny Smith make the Apple Family’s well known cider to celebrate Spring, Applejack laid down on her bed. She has on her red flannel shirt and blue jeans. But, after helping with making the cider, she didn’t put her boots back on, nor unroll her pant cuffs. Her hat was on her hat rack.

“Big sis,” Apple Bloom called from outside the door, “y’all forgot your boots.”

Applejack opened the door, and saw her sister. “Thanks, sis.” She said sadly.

“Don’t let what happened yesterday upset ya.” Apple Bloom said. “It can happen to anybody.”

“Yeah, I know. But, I felt so terrible.”

Granny Smith came in to join the conversation. “No need to cry over it, AJ. Principal Celestia said that it’s not your fault.”

“It may not be my fault,” Applejack replied with tears in her eyes, “but, I still feel bad about it.”

“Maybe you should take a stroll outside to the barn. This sunny weather might help ya relax.”

The farm girl thought about what her grandma suggested. “Ya think it can relax me?”

“Sure.” Apple Bloom agreed. “What harm can it do?”

A few minutes later, Applejack went outside from the back door, and made her way to the barn.

Apple Bloom has a point about one thing. Applejack thought. This IS the type of day to go barefoot. It does feel invigorating.

Suddenly, a lasso came out of nowhere and looped around Applejack. This got her nervous. “Hey, what’s goin’ on around here?”

Then, a wavy blond haired woman stepped out. She wore a white vest over a blue short sleeve shirt, blue jeans, brown boots, and a white Stetson hat.

“I...I don’t believe it.” Applejack gasped. “Dallas.”

“Howdy, ma’am.” Dallas greeted. “Sorry, for this arrival. But, this is necessary.”

Applejack was confused as Dallas wrapped her rope around her body. Taking out a small piece of rope, Dallas tied Applejack’s hands behind her back.

“Hey, what is this?” Applejack wondered nervously. “Am I a prisoner?”

“Nope.” Dallas replied. “I was told that you had a bad day yesterday.”

“That’s putting it mildly.”

After sitting down on a stump, the bound farm girl told Dallas her story.

“I was helping getting the auditorium ready for a play for later tonight.” Applejack explained. “But, just as I was carrying some props designed like medieval weapons, I slipped on some liquid on the floor. Those props fell out of my hands, and landed in all kinds of places.

“The damage wasn’t that bad. But, I felt so bad about it, I cried hysterically.”

Applejack was starting to shake nervously. But, Dallas quickly grabbed the rope still attached to her, and tied her ankles together.

“Sorry, Dallas.” Applejack said. “I guess I still have panic attacks.”

“That does tend to happen.” Dallas said, calming the farm girl down. “We’ve seen our share of nervous breakdowns.”

“We?”

Just then, another western girl arrived. She has curly blond hair, white and yellow western boots, and a yellow frilly dress.

“Oh, wow!” Applejack said in shock. “Tulsa, the rodeo queen.”

“That’s right.” The woman, Tulsa, replied. “Nice to meet ya.”

Dallas wondered about something. “Was everything okay when that mess was cleaned up?”

“Now that I think about it,” Applejack thought, “everything is straightened up. I guess I was too upset to notice it.”

“Then, you have nothing to worry about.”

Tulsa then carried the bound farm girl, and brought her into the barn. After placing her down on the floor, she gives Applejack a gentle farewell. “Try to relax, Miss Applejack. You’re going to be fine.”

After Tulsa left, Applejack soon laid to her side, and suddenly dozed off. Twenty minutes later, Applejack slowly woke up. Only to find herself on the hammock in the backyard. And, she wasn’t tied up anymore.

“Enjoy yer nap?” Said the voice of Granny Smith.

Applejack turned and saw her grandma. “Granny? What happened?”

“I was told that you were in the barn.” Granny Smith replied. “I saw that ya were dozing off. After Apple Bloom and I quietly removed those ropes, Big Macintosh carried you, and placed you in the hammock.”

“Wow. You guys are so good to me.” Applejack wondered about something else. “What happened to Dallas and Tulsa?”

“Probably went back to their wrestlin’ practice. I’m heading back inside. Why don’t you just relax?”

As Granny Smith left, Applejack leaned back in the hammock, and slowly dozed off. It is a nice day to just take it easy.

39. Leather and Lace

Author's Note

Fluttershy gets unusual inspiration from Envy and Adore. The Soul Patrol. I even did a tribute to their Hip Dictionary sketch.

39. Leather and Lace

Rarity and Fluttershy went into a diner after watching a fashion show in Canterlot City. Rarity’s fashionable friend, Sassy Saddles, joined them.

“That was some show. Wasn’t it?” Sassy asked.

“Indeed, darling.” Rarity replied. “Some of the models displayed some unique looks.”

“That’s right. But, the biggest surprise was the one I arranged.”

“Oh my.” Fluttershy gasped. “Which of these models did you bring in?”

“Not one.” Sassy said as she sipped some water. “Two. I asked Envy and Adore to show off their traditional look.”

“Envy and Adore?” Rarity said, shocked to hear those names. “The Soul Patrol?” She soon regained her composure. “I’ll say this much. They do make leather and lace work good together.”

“Especially in the wrestling ring.” Fluttershy added.

“Thanks, babe.” The voice of a hip young woman replied.

The girls turned and saw two women wearing leather jackets and lace outfits with black boots. One girl has poofy black hair and wore a dark purple lace outfit. The other has short black hair and wore a light lavender lace outfit.

“Hi, girls.” Sassy greeted.

“Hey, Sassy. What’s up?” The short haired girl, Adore, replied.

Fluttershy turned to whisper to Rarity. “Does this mean Sassy knows the Soul Patrol?”

“You’re darn tootin’!” The other girl, Envy, answered.

Later, all five girls sat at the table, waiting for their food to arrive.

“I must say,” Rarity said, “your leather and lace combination is very unique.”

“As a girl of fashion,” Envy replied, “you truly appreciate our style.”

“But, why did Sassy have you two display your look?”

“Especially considering your reputation.” Fluttershy added.

“We’re only brutal in the wrestling ring, nature lover.” Adore said. “But, sometimes we like to take part in other events.”

“Yeah.” Envy added. “Sassy here met us at a department store, and recognized us right away.”

“I’ve seen them online in classic battles against the likes of The Cheerleaders and The Southern Belles.” Sassy said. “So, I asked if they can show off their classic look.”

“I guess that makes sense.” Rarity figured. “Their wrestling attire is fascinating.”

The Soul Patrol were pleased to hear that as the five continued their pleasant time.

A few days later, Fluttershy wore her regular outfit as she joined her friends at the coffee place. They all gasped when they saw that she’s carrying a leather jacket.

“Hey, Flutters.” Rainbow Dash greeted. “What’s with the jacket?”

“I figured to give it a try.” Fluttershy answered. “Besides, it’s a bit nippy out there today.”

The nature lover put on the jacket. Everybody was surprisingly pleased.

“I guess The Soul Patrol got to you. Huh?” Sunset remarked.

Fluttershy gave a sassy remark. “Envy and Adore inspired me.”

Rarity gave Fluttershy a thumbs up.

The Soul Patrol

Envy and Adore talked to each other when the teacher interrupted them.
TEACHER: All right, Soul Patrol. (The girls looked at the teacher.) Can you make a sentence using the word, “Ammo”?

ENVY: Yeah. Ammo kick your butt.
They laughed and high fived each other.

40. Diamond Meets the Heroes

Author's Note

When Diamond Tiara has a problem she felt that nobody can help her with, it’s Thunderbolt and Lightning to the rescue.

40. Diamond Meets the Heroes

Diamond Tiara day on a park bench talking to her parents on her phone. But, she was very upset.

“I’m sorry, mother.” Diamond sobbed. “I really let you and father down.”

"Diamond, my dear, don’t be so upset." Her mother, Spoiled Rich, replied on the phone. "You have not done anything that would..."

“If you want me to stay out of your way for a while, I understand. Good bye.”

Diamond hung up and continued to cry. Back at her home, her parents are getting worried.

“Poor dear.” Spoiled Rich said with worry. “We have to do something.”

“Don’t worry, Spoiled.” Filthy Rich, her husband, replied. “I know what to do. Diamond will be pleasantly surprised.”

Back at the park, Diamond is still crying, and is still scared. Just then, she heard the voice of a brave woman calling to her. “Attention, Diamond Tiara. Help is at hand!”

Diamond soon saw two women that look like comic book superheroes. One has blond hair and wearing a blue headband. Her outfit is all white with a blue outline and a red lightning bolt in front.

The other has black hair with a red headband. She has on a green top and red tights. The green top has a huge yellow lightning bolt going across.

“Wow!” Diamond gasped. “Thunderbolt and Lightning!”

The two heroes made their way to say hello to the saddened young girl.

“What are you two doing here?” Diamond wondered.

“Your father, Filthy Rich, sent us to find you.” The black haired girl, Lightning, responded. “Your parents are worried about you.”

“Worried about me? I thought they would want me to stay away for a while.”

“Now, why would you think that?” The blond girl, Thunderbolt, asked.

Diamond Tiara started her sad story. “I was helping lunch lady, Granny Smith, with serving lunch to the students. I was given my own hairnet and an apron, and I went to work.”

“That doesn’t sound so bad.” Thunderbolt figured.

“It’s not actually. Even my best friend, Silver Spoon, appreciated me helping out.”

“So, what’s the matter?” Lightning asked.

“After my duty, and after I had my own lunch, I was approached by a big brute, Garble. He got mad and said that I shouldn’t have done that.”

The hero team start to get a bit nervous.

“In one of my classes,” Diamond continued, “Garble barged in and yelled at me. He said that my parents would not approve of what I did. He told me that they’ll punish me when I get home. As he left, I got so upset, I cried hysterically.”

“Bullies like this Garble person always like using psychological warfare.” Lightning said. “What happened next?”

“Principal Celestia felt I was too upset to carry out the rest of my day. So, she let me go home early.”

“That’s noble of her.” Thunderbolt figured.

“But,” Diamond went on as tears continued to drip down her face, “I don’t know how to face my parents.”

“Please, don’t cry.” Thunderbolt said, giving her a hug. “I don’t think your folks are ashamed of you.”

“Really?”

“Of course.” Lightning added. “We’re sure that they’ll be proud of you, doing something that doesn’t require your family’s wealth.”

Diamond Tiara felt a little bit better. Later, Diamond was back with her folks.

“Granny Smith called and told me that you volunteered to help her in the lunchroom.” Spoiled Rich said. “We’re proud of you.”

“You are?” Diamond replied quietly.

“Indeed.” Filthy Rich added. “Volunteering your time to help others is one of the noblest deeds you have done. Good job.”

Her parents gave Diamond a group hug, knowing that she did good.

“Thanks, you guys.” Diamond chirped proudly.

Thank you, Thunderbolt and Lightning. Spoiled Rich thought. Now, Diamond won’t feel bad about what she does to be of help.

41. Beast Removal

Author's Note

Pinkie Pie gets a big fright from Beastie and Dementia. Her family is here for her.

41. Beast Removal

Inside the Pie Family house, Limestone and Marble finish strapping a straitjacket on their sister, Pinkie Pie. The party girl started to get nervous.

“Limestone, is this necessary?” Pinkie asked nervously.

“Sorry, sis.” Limestone replied. “But, you came in from the backyard, having a nervous breakdown.”

“Limestone is right.” Marble added. “This is just to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.”

Soon, their parents, Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz, came in to check on Pinkie.

“Is she to be okay?” Igneous Rock asked.

“I think so, Pa.” Limestone replied. “Whatever happened, it left her really rattled."

“Well then, we’ll take it from here.”

Limestone and Marble nodded in agreement. Pinkie was escorted into her bedroom by her parents.

“Pinkie, dear.” Cloudy Quartz said with concern. “What caused you to get nervous?”

The party girl started to calm down a little bit. “Well, Mom. You know that I like hosting movie night, using some equipment I have.”

“Yes. I always see you rolling your projector, DVD player, speakers, and surge protector with you. Plus, a movie of your choice, unless otherwise.”

“Yep. Earlier today, I was at Sweet Apple Acres to entertain Applejack and her family. Suddenly, two freaky monsters jumped out and scared everybody. I took the worst of it.” Pinkie started to tear up. “That night was cancelled.”

Pinkie started to cry until Cloudy Quartz comforted her. “Easy, child. No need to cry. Do you remember what these beasts look like?”

The party girl started to think about it. “Let’s see. One of them was huge! She had short frizzy blond hair, freaky eye makeup, and thick feather covered shoulder pads. She also wore black tights and carried a mace.”

This description gave Cloudy Quartz an idea. “Does the other monster have frizzy brown hair, wore an off white dress, and carried an ax?”

“Yeah!” Pinkie gasped. “How did you know?”

“Pinkie, my dear.” Cloudy Quartz announced. “You had a beastly encounter with the fierce warrior, Beastie. And, her horrifying companion, Dementia.”

Pinkie’s eyes widened. “Beastie and Dementia?! That’s not good.”

“Indeed.” Igneous Rock Pie added as he came in. “Perhaps Beastie sees something in Dementia that The Princess of Darkness couldn’t. Do not fear. We’ll think of a way to put a stop to this.”

As Igneous Rock left, Cloudy Quartz grabbed one of Pinkie’s party streamers, and used it to tie her ankles together. “I’m sorry to do this to you.”

“It’s okay, mom.” Pinkie replied, trying to relax. “I can’t blame you.”

As Pinkie laid down on her bed to rest, Cloudy Quartz draped her blanket on top of her, and kissed her on her cheek. “Rest, my dear.”

Cloudy left the room, leaving Pinkie to get some sleep. A few days later, Pinkie’s movie night resumes at Sweet Apple Acres.

“Okay, everybody.” Pinkie cheerfully said. “Take two.”

As the movie was starting, growls were heard. Just then, two scary people bursted out and scared the movie patrons. As the intruders flashed their weapons, a familiar voice called to them.

“Good evening, Beastie and Dementia.” The voice of an elegant woman called out.

It turned out to be Rarity, getting their attention. “Try to catch me.”

As Rarity ran off, Beastie growled. “Raaaar! Come back here, fancy pants!”

Beastie and Dementia ran after the elegant girl. Just then, a rope net suddenly rose up, and snagged the beastly pursuers.

“The Pie Family were right.” Applejack said, holding the rope connected to the net. “It IS Beastie and Dementia.”

The gruesome twosome realized that they were caught. Later, Beastie and Dementia were placed in a cage. Their weapons are secured by a security guard as the Pie Family look on.

“You reign of terror ends here, ladies.” Igneous Rock announced.

“This isn’t over, Pie Family.” Beastie growled as Dementia watches on silently.

As the cage is driven away, Beastie spoke in a low calm voice. “We’ll be back.”

The cage is driven off as the Pie Family watches with admiration.

“We’ll be ready, Beastie.” Limestone stated as she places her arms on the shoulders of Pinkie and Marble. “Count on it.”

Pinkie feels good, knowing that this nightmare is over.

While getting ready for a movie premiere, Photo Finish and Juniper Montage get a surprise, in the form of Roxy Astor.

42. Stylish Media

“Okay. I’ll be waiting, Rarity.” Photo Finish said on her phone. “Goodbye.”

When Photo hung up, there came a knock at the door of her photo studio.

“Come in.” Photo ordered.

The door opened, and in steps a visitor Photo didn’t expect.

“Juniper Montage?!” Photo gasped. “This is unexpected!”

“Hello, Photo Finish.” Juniper greeted. “I heard that you’re on your way to a movie premiere. Is that true?”

“Indeed. A brand new Daring Do movie is premiering at the Canterlot Multiplex later tonight. And, I’m going there to get some pictures.”

“I’m going there myself. I planned to get clips of this event. How about I join you?”

Photo was surprised to hear that proposal. But, she thinks it’s a good idea. “Juniper, you got a deal.”

Juniper and Photo shook hands in agreement. Twenty minutes later, they were both standing on a street corner.

“And, what are we waiting for?” Juniper asked.

“My friend, Rarity, said that she sent someone to pick me up here.” Photo explained. “Should be here any minute.”

Just as Photo said that, a stretch limousine came into view. The limo drove up to the corner and stopped for the two media girls. A car door opened, and a young woman with curly light brown hair was seen. She wore a blue jacket over a white shirt. Also, she wore a blue skirt, black platform shoes, and a black tie.

“Wow!” Juniper squealed. “It’s Roxy Astor!”

“Roxy Astor?” Photo gasped. “My goodness.”

“Good afternoon, Miss Photo Finish.” Roxy Astor greeted. “Come aboard. And, please, bring Miss Juniper Montage with you.”

The media maidens climbed aboard. The door closes, and the limo drives away. Inside the three girls enjoy each other’s company.

“I never expected you to pick us up.” Photo said in astonishment.

“Miss Rarity called me and asked me to pick you up.” Roxy explained. “But, I didn’t know Juniper Montage was coming along.”

“I was on my way to the movie premiere too.” Juniper said. “So, I figured to join her.”

“Good reason.”

Juniper decided to ask her own question. “So, Roxy. How are you and gossip maven, Tiffany Mellon, doing in the ring?”

“Very well.” Roxy replied. “We had a well deserved victory against Habana and Melody Trouble Vixen.”

Photo Finish realized something. “Of course! You and Tiffany Mellon are the tag team called The Park Avenue Knockouts!”

“That’s right, Photo. We make a great combination.”

Photo and Juniper are glad to ride with Roxy Astor. Later, the premiere at the Canterlot Multiplex went well. Photo Finish and Juniper Montage worked together to make this a pleasant experience. Rarity and Roxy watch the media maidens work.

“Juniper works pretty well with Photo. Am I correct?” Rarity asked.

“I would say so.” Roxy agreed.

The two girls high fived each other, knowing that Photo Finish and Juniper Montage work well together.

43. Praise the Rainbooms

Author's Note

The Rainbooms get an unexpected speech from the GLOW girl of the cloth: Evangelina.

43. Praise the Rainbooms

On a beautiful day in Sweet Apple Acres, Twilight Sparkle and her friends, collectively known as the Rainbooms, were practicing their music in the barn. When, they finished their song, they decided to take a break.

“Okay, you guys.” Twilight said. “I think we’re ready to perform at the carnival next week when it comes to town.”

“Indeed, darling.” Rarity replied as she puts down her keytar.

After putting down her guitar, Rainbow Dash pulled out some water for herself, and a bottle of strawberry milk for Pinkie Pie, Who is putting down her drumsticks.

“Heads up, Pinks!” Dash called out as she tosses the milk jug.

Pinkie quickly grabs her treat. “Thanks, Dashie.” She takes a swig of her sweet drink. “Mmm. That’s good.”

Suddenly, the barn doors open. Then, in steps a curly dark brown haired woman wearing what looks like a priest’s outfit.

“Greetings, noble musicians.” The priest calls out. “I have come to grace you with my presence.”

“Oh my.” Fluttershy gasped. “An actual priest. Here to visit us.”

“Freaky priest, that is.” Sunset Shimmer said, seeing who it is. “That’s Evangelina.”

The crew gasped in shock, hearing that name. Rainbow Dash got miffed. “If you’re here to stir up trouble,”

“Calm yourself, my athletic friend.” The priest said calmly. “I’m not here to disrupt your practice.”

“You know what we were doing?” Twilight asked.

“Indeed, Miss Sparkle. I know you seven girls are practicing for a concert for a carnival that’s coming to town.”

“And, you’re not upset with this?” Rarity wondered.

“Not at all, Miss Rarity. I am looking forward to seeing your performance.”

The girls were surprised that Evangelina was not badgering their music.

“I’m very surprised you know about us.” Sunset Shimmer said.

“I know all about you seven maidens of music.” Evangelina praised. “You all have a great combination of personalities.”

“Really?”

“Think about this, Sunset Shimmer. You were one of the meanest youngsters of Canterlot High School. But, you changed your ways, and become an honorable soul.”

Sunset blushed as the priest continued her speech.

“Combine your personality with Twilight Sparkle’s intelligence, Fluttershy’s love for nature, Rarity’s elegance, Applejack’s devotion to her family, Rainbow Dash’s athletic skills, and Pinkie Pie’s optimism, you have a well balanced group.”

The girls clapped, impressed with Evangelina’s speech.

“That’s was beautiful.” Applejack said.

“Yeah.” Dash added softly. “It even brings a tear to MY eye.”

The priest soon heads for the doors. “It is time for me to leave. Take care now.”

As Evangelina leaves, the girls felt a bit of warmth from their souls.

“I guess even someone like Evangelina can have a kind disposition.” Pinkie Pie said proudly.

Applejack agreed. “Amen.”

Prologue: The Opening Phone Call

Author's Note

A good way to start this short story collection is like the start of GLOW seasons 1 and 2 with a modern day twist. And, the person making the phone call, me.

Prologue: The Opening Phone Call

Outside a casino in Las Vegas, a young man with brown hair, wearing a long sleeve purple shirt(color is labeled ‘Very Berry’), blue jeans, and gray sneakers sat on a bench, admiring the scenery. After adjusting his glasses, he takes out his smartphone. Then, he makes a call.

“Hello, Allspark Animation,” The person said, “this is Brian Sheil speaking. I wrote three editions of EqG Tales on Fimfiction.net. I’m writing a fourth edition featuring the girls of GLOW. You know, Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling. I wonder if you would like to make animated shorts of this when I’m done.” Brian waits for a few seconds. “Would fans like this crossover? Well, I’M drawn to it.” As Brian laughs at his own comment, the phone goes dead. “Hello?” Brian got upset because the people he was talking to hung up.

2. Disturbance In The Park

Author's Note

First up for the bad girls of GLOW, the ferocious desert fighter: Palestina.

2. Disturbance In The Park

Canterlot State Park is a nice place to be. People enjoying the sunshine, having picnics, throwing the frisbee around, and sometimes, a group of people get together for yoga outside. This day, some people were very upset. Fluttershy and Tree Hugger were about to enjoy themselves with a picnic. But, they have tears in their eyes, as if something was wrong.

"We came as soon as you called us." Rarity said as she and Sunset Shimmer arrived.

"Thank you, Rarity." Fluttershy responded sadly. "Tree Hugger and I were just spreading our blanket when this horrible voice broke the peace and quiet."

"We're not the only ones." Tree Hugger added. "Many dudes and dudettes heard this nasty screeching. Totally not cool."

Suddenly, they heard the voice of a wicked sounding woman doing some chanting. Sunset turned and pointed to Rarity where the sound came from. The four saw a woman wearing a black bandana, wearing a black top and camouflage pants, kneeling on a mat. She had a pair of black boots on the side, and she was chanting, as she bent down into a kneeling position.

"That's the woman who's disrupting everybody!" Fluttershy indicated.

Sunset and Rarity looked as this strange woman. Then, a thought came into Sunset's head.

"I think I know who she is." Sunset said.

"So do I." Rarity added. "This woman is a real annoyance. Any ideas?"

"Yeah. Here's the plan." Sunset whispered her plan to the group.

Minutes later, the group approached this stranger as she began another chant. She stopped, and looked at the four young girls.

"Greetings, young ones." The woman greeted in a foreign tone.

"We should've have known it was you." Rarity said as the other girls look as this woman. "Palestina!"

Fluttershy and Tree Hugger were shocked to hear that name.

"Oh my." Fluttershy gasped. "I've heard of Palestina."

"Me too." Tree Hugger. "She's supposed to be this bogus desert dame from Damascus, Syria."

"That's right." Sunset said with confidence. "This woman is part of that crew headed by the infamous Aunt Kitty."

The woman named Palestina rose up and confronted the girls. "How dare you speak about Aunt Kitty like that!"

"Hey, it's the truth."

"What makes you think you can disrupt the peace of this park with your nasty chanting?" Rarity informed. "You made our friends here very upset."

Palestina looked at Fluttershy and Tree Hugger with tears in ther eyes. She just scoffed them. "You infidels have no respect for traditions of others."

"If you're talking about kneeling on a mat and chanting, we have no problem with that." Sunset said. "But, there's no need for you to bother people in this quiet park."

"And, what are you going to do to stop me, young one?"

Sunset gave a loud whistle. Soon, coming out was the muscular Bulk Biceps, wearing a blue tank top, brown khakis, and white sneakers. He looks at the desert lady with angry eyes. Soon, Palestina started getting nervous.

"M..m..my, m.my." Palestina stuttered. "What..big..muscles..you got?"

Feeling threatened, Palestina put on her boots, rolled up her mat, and ran out of the park, like a coyote. The group watched her run away.

"I hope that we've seen the last of that desert assasin." Bulk Biceps stated proudly.

"Believe me, Bulk." Sunset added. "We all hope for that."

3. Help From the Farmer’s Daughters

Author's Note

Time to call in that wholesome family, Sally, Amy, and Babe. The Farmer’s Daughters.

3. Help From the Farmer’s Daughters

After doing errands in town, Applejack returns to Sweet Apple Acres. Her cousin from Appleloosa, Braeburn, was waiting for her.

“Thanks for helping out while I was out.” Applejack praised.

“No problem, partner.” Braeburn said. “Hearing that you’re getting this place ready for a get together with your friends, I had to call for extra help.”

Applejack raised an eyebrow. “Extra help? Who did you call fer?”

“One of my extra helpers is checking on the chickens right now.”

The farm girl went over to the chicken coop, and saw somebody come out. It was a sweet looking girl with blonde hair in pigtails. She wore a red short sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and dark brown work boots.

“I don’t believe it!” Applejack blurted as she recognized the girl. “Sally, the Farmer’s Daughter!”

Hearing her name, the girl named Sally saw Applejack coming. “Howdy, Miss Applejack.”

The two farm girls hugged each other. Applejack was very surprised. “I didn’t know Braeburn knows ya.”

“Braeburn told me that you were going to be in town for a bit.” Sally explained. “So, he called and asked me and my sisters to help get this place ready for your little old shindig.”

“Sounds like a good idea. Where are your sisters?”

“Babe is helping your brother, Big Mac, by the barn.”

At the barn, Big Mac pulled a rope lifting a bale of hay to the top room. Waiting there is a girl that looks like Sally. Except that she wore a blue short sleeve shirt and jean shorts and sneakers. She brings the hay into the loft.

“Any more hay to be stored?” The girl asked.

“Nope.” Big Mac answered with relief. “That’s it. Come on down, Babe.”

As Applejack and Sally arrived, the girl called Babe exited the barn.

“Everything all said and done, Babe?” Sally asked.

“Hay all stored, sis.” Babe replied.

“Good. The barn is cleaned up and ready for the cider making.”

“Good call.” Applejack said. “I’ll have Granny Smith get everything we need.”

Later, inside the barn, Apple Bloom helps mashing apples inside a big tub for Granny Smith to fill jugs with cider. Apple Bloom is helped by another sister of Sally’s sisters. This one wore a pink short sleeve shirt and bib overalls with the pant cuffs rolled up.

“How’s the cider comin’, Granny?” Applejack wondered.

“It’s going good, AJ.” Granny replied. “And, ahead of schedule too. I’m glad that Amy is helping Apple Bloom smash those apples.”

“These Farmer’s Daughters sure are hard workers.”

“True.”

After the cider is done, Amy wipes her feet from any apple residue as Applejack came to her.

“Thanks for helping my little sister, Amy.” Applejack praised.

“My pleasure.” Amy said proudly. “We farm folks help each other well, ya know.”

Sally and Babe soon came to join the conversation.

“Granny Smith wondered if you would like to be in a picture with us.” Sally offered.

“A picture with you and your sisters?” Applejack said surprisingly.

“Sure.” Babe added. “Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Braeburn will be in the picture too.”

Minutes later, Granny Smith holds a camera as Amy, Apple Bloom, and Babe sat on chairs. Behind them, Big Mac, Applejack, Sally, and Braeburn stood.

“Okay, folks.” Granny Smith announced. “Smile fer the camera.”

Everybody smiled as Granny Smith took the camera. This is one great day for Applejack and the Farmer’s Daughters.

7. The Golden Advisor

Author's Note

Here’s a chapter featuring the gold clad advice girl, Ashley Cartier .

7. The Golden Advisor

On their way home from the movies, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer talked about something going on at school recently.

“Are you sure about what’s happening in the school paper?” Sunset wondered.

“I’m sure of it, Sunset.” Rainbow replied. “Somebody posted an advice column under the name ‘Golden Advisor’.”

“Golden Advisor. I hope it’s nothing like this Anon-a-Miss stuff that plagued me.”

“I don’t think so. This is an advice column. And, it gives good advice, believe it or not.”

They soon saw Rarity and another woman at an outdoor cafe table. This woman has wavy brown hair, and wearing glasses. She has on a glittery gold short sleeve top and a bright yellow skirt and white shoes.

“Looks like Rarity has a new friend.” Dash said. “Probably to help her know about this town.”

Sunset’s eyes widened from the look of this woman. “Rainbow, I think that’s Ashley Cartier.”

“Ashley Cartier?” Dash blurted. “Are you sure?”

Rarity soon saw Rainbow and Sunset. “Hello, darlings. Care to join us?”

The two friends nodded and went to join Rarity and her new companion.

“Hello, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer.” Ashley greeted. “Rarity told me so much about you.”

“Really?” Rainbow blurted. “I didn’t know that we’re that well known to folks outside of town.”

“So, what brings you to town, Ashley?” Sunset wondered.

Rarity looked like she was in shock. “You know of Miss Cartier?”

“Who doesn’t. Especially when she wears anything golden. I see that when I watch classic GLOW matches online.”

“Of course.” Dash realized. “In tag team battles, you mostly team up with Tina Ferrari. Right?”

“That is correct.” Ashley answered. “As to my visit, I was invited to add an advice column to your school’s newspaper.”

“You mean, you’re the Golden Advisor?”

“Yes indeed, Dash.” Rarity responded. “Her advice is very helpful.”

“As long as nobody has dirty fantasies in mind.” Sunset added.

Ashley was surprised to hear that. “How did you know that?”

“I’ve seen some clips of ‘Dear Ashley’. There’s always some pervert with crazy ideas for you.”

“I guess that’s true. But, I just push that aside.”

The girls felt relief, knowing Ashley doesn’t fall for that stuff. Monday, Sunset and Rarity meet for lunch.

“Anymore news from Ashley?” Sunset asked as she got out a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

“Yes, darling.” Rarity answered. “She is reinforcing her own advice column with a warning. That no perverted letters will be printed.”

Raising a small carton of milk, Sunset raised a toast. “Here’s to more success to Ashley.”

“Cheers.” Rarity chirped as she raised her own milk carton.

11. Friends in the Forest

Author's Note

Fluttershy spends time with GLOW’s ladies of nature. Little Feather and Cheyenne Cher.

11. Friends in the Forest

“It’s such a beautiful day here in the woods.” Fluttershy said to herself. “The sounds of nature relax me.”

The nature lover decided to spend some time in the forest near her home. As she was hiking, she saw a strange sight. Looking at the scenery are two women that look like Indians. They both have short black hair.

One wore a brown one piece outfit and thick brown boots. The other has on a blue once piece outfit and light brown moccasins. They both wear traditional headwear, like that of an Indian chief.

“Native Americans? Here in the woods?” Fluttershy thought out loud. “Must be part of some tribe that lives in this town.”

As Fluttershy walks past them, she was then called to by a young female. “Greetings, Fluttershy.”

Startled, she turns around, and sees that she was greeted by the woman wearing the brown outfit. “It’s a pleasure to meet a fellow nature lover.”

Fluttershy looked at the woman. Then, her eyes widened as she soon knows who it is. “Oh my! Little Feather!” The woman in blue came along as Fluttershy recognized her too. “And, Cheyenne Cher!”

The nature lover felt overwhelmed as Cher came over to give her a sweet hug. “It’s okay, friend. We’re happy to meet you.”

Fluttershy stood up and is amazed to meet these proud ladies.

“What are you two doing here?” Fluttershy asked.

“Same reason you’re here most likely.” Little Feather answered. “We came here to enjoy the peace of this forest.”

“Little Feather and I are women of nature, as you discovered.” Cher added. “We appreciate the peace and quiet.”

“So do I.” Fluttershy said. “This is something the three of us have in common.”

The three women walk along a path until they stopped near a stream. They sit and watch birds flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water.

“By the way, Cheyenne Cher.” Fluttershy wondered. “How’s your relation with your tag team partner?”

“You mean Vicky Victory?” Cher said. “It’s going great. I’ve learned a great deal from her.” Cher stood up and went to a wide area of the grass. “Watch this.”

Cher soon did some flips and cartwheels. Fluttershy was amazed. “That was amazing!”

“That it is, Fluttershy.” Cher replied as she rejoined her friends.

Little Feather soon put her hand on Cher’s shoulder. “Although Cher helps pick up where the original Cheerleaders left off, she still remembers her Native American heritage.”

“Little Feather is right. I never forget my roots.”

The three girls continue to admire the scenery. Monday, Fluttershy was heading home from school when Rainbow Dash caught up to her.

“Hey, Flutters.” Dash said. “Did I hear that you spent time with Little Feather and Cheyenne Cher this weekend?”

“That I have, Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy replied. “Those two are great company in the woods.”

Rainbow Dash gave her a sweet smile. “No argument from me.”

22. A Big Snow Battle

22. A Big Snow Battle

Winter comes to Canterlot City. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and Rainbow Dash enjoy their time in the snow. Along with an unexpected guest, Limestone Pie.

“Having fun, you guys?” Limestone asked.

“We sure are.” Twilight replied. “Thanks for letting us come over.”

“Well, any friends of my sister, Pinkie, are friends of mine.”

Sunset watches Rainbow finish putting together a snowman.

“I didn’t know you can make something this nice.” Sunset realized.

“There’s more to me than just a sports girl, you know.” Dash said.

Twilight and Limestone came over to look at the snowman.

“Basic,” Twilight informed, “but very good.”

“I agree.” Limestone added. “Pinkie would probably add some of her confetti to give it more color.”

Suddenly, a snowball struck Sunset. She got mad, and turned to see who it was. The girls all saw a Latin girl with thick black hair, and wearing a camo style jacket over a black shirt. This woman has on camo pants and black boots.

“Habana!” Limestone said, recognizing the intruder. “What are you doing here?”

“Hola to you too, Limestone Pie.” Habana replied smugly. “How about a little snowball fight?”

Twilight and her friends are a little uneasy about the situation.

“Better be careful.” Dash warned. “This Cuban assassin is full of tricks.”

“Don’t worry, Rainbow Dash.” Limestone assures. “I can handle her.”

Habana gave an evil look. “But, can you handle this?”

She snapped her fingers, and two more brutal women came along. They both have Mohawk style haircuts.

One girl has a blond Mohawk, wears a yellow winter coat over a marigold shirt. She has on blue jeans and black boots.

The other girl has a Mohawk colored like the stripes of a skunk’s tail. Wears black and white stripes everywhere. Her winter coat, her shirt, and pants all have this color scheme. She has black boots on too.

“Stinky and Sneaky?” Twilight gulped.

“That’s right.” Habana replied cruelty. “I decided to bring out a small army.”

“Then we’ll be an army too.” Sunset announced. “We’ll fight by Limestone’s side.”

Seeing Twilight, Sunset, and Dash standing with her, Limestone felt relieved. “Well. Thanks, guys.”

Habana and her partners raised their snowballs in the air as she gives an order. “Attack!”

They threw their balls. But, the girls avoided the onslaught, and went behind a big tree. Inside the house, Pinkie slipped on her coat as her father, Igneous Rock Pie, cane in.

“Pinkie,” The father said with a worried look on his face, “Limestone and your friends are in a snowball battle.”

“They are?” Pinkie wondered. “Who’s fighting them? The Dazzlings?”

“Worse. They are battling the trio of Stinky, Sneaky, and Habana.”

Pinkie soon got upset. “Nobody hurts my sister or my friends. I’ll show Habana my kind of warfare!”

Pinkie rushes out to help her friends. Meanwhile, as the battle continues, Twilight and company were holding their own.

“Keep going, troops!” Limestone ordered. “We got them covered.”

Suddenly, Sneaky, the girl with the blond Mohawk, snuck up and splatted Rainbow and Sunset with snow before heading back to her side.

“Man!” Dash shouted. “That’s was a dirty trick!”

“Speaking of dirty,” Stinky said with a snowball in hand, “try this on for size!”

She throws the snowball, and hit Limestone. Then, she notices something wrong.

“Ew!” Limestone yelled, holding her nose. “What stinks so bad.”

Twilight realized what happened. “Stinky must’ve laced that snowball with her stench.”

Habana called out to her competition. “Do you girls surrender?”

The girls were overwhelmed by Habana’s strategy and her crew. Then, Limestone called out to them. “You and your pals overlook one thing, Habana.”

“What’s that, you little cucaracha?”

The eldest Pie sister called out her answer. “My party hardy sister!”

Pinkie shows up with one of her party cannons. “Fire in the hole!”

Pinkie fired a giant snowball, and hit all three bad girls. Twilight and friends cheered for the party girl.

“Well done, sis!” Limestone praised.

Recovering, the three brutes wondered about their next move.

“What’ll we do now, Habana?” Sneaky asked.

Habana gave her and Stinky her answer. “Retreat!”

The brutes took off, running away from the Pie house.

After the smoke cleared, Twilight, Sunset, Dash, Limestone, and Pinkie feel relieved.

“Let’s go inside for some hot chocolate.” Limestone suggested.

“Good idea.” Sunset agreed. “I’m all worn out.”

Pinkie followed the group. “Right behind you. Besides, I need to wipe my cannon dry. Don’t want it to rust.”

28. The Indie Movie Maker and the British Beauty

Author's Note

Juniper Montage is catching the attention of the British bombshell, Godiva.

28. The Indie Movie Maker and the British Beauty

At an outdoor cafe, Juniper Montage looks at her camera as she watches the footage she got. A parade went through town, and Juniper tapes the whole thing. She was impressed when the Rainbooms went down the streets. The biggest surprise to her was a slender woman with flowing blond hair, and wearing a dark pink unitard decorated with flowers. She rode down the streets riding a handsome white horse.

“Wow. This woman looks so beautiful.” Juniper said. “I’m glad she wore this particular color. Can’t let any kids be shocked at her.”

“Indeed.” Said the voice of a British woman.

Juniper soon saw the same woman from the parade. But, she wore a purple jacket over a white button down shirt with a black tie. She also wore a blue skirt and blue platform shoes.

“No way!” Juniper gasped. “Godiva!”

“That’s me.” The woman replied. “May I sit with you?”

“Uh, sure.”

Godiva soon sat down and chatted with the indie movie girl.

“Looking at the footage to get movie ideas, I see.” Godiva noticed.

“That’s right.” Juniper answered nervously.

Seeing Juniper getting scared, Godiva put her hand on her shoulder. "Calm yourself, love. You don’t have to be afraid of me.”

Juniper felt a little relieved. “Sorry. I never expected to meet someone like you in this area.”

“I’m sure you didn’t.”

Juniper continued to watch the footage. “I’m impressed with your participation in the parade.”

“Thank you, my friend.” Godiva said. “I figured to sport a kid friendly version of my usual wrestling attire. Don’t want any children getting shocked and repulsed, you know.”

“That I can understand. What did the parade officials think of your appearance?”

“They think it’s grand. Many people applauded my appearance. Must be wrestling fans amongst those folks.”

“Could be.”

Soon, a thought came to Godiva’s mind. “I learned of you and your reputation, Miss Juniper Montage. But, how did you recognize me? After all, I’m sporting a different look as you can see.”

“It’s your flowing blond hair.” Juniper answered. “That’s somewhat of a trademark.”

Godiva ran her hand through her hair, knowing Juniper made a point. “Good noticing, love.”

Juniper smiled, knowing that Godiva acknowledged her logic. Soon, Godiva made her an offer. “I’m staying at a hotel around the corner. Would you like to join me for a spot of tea?”

Juniper looked at her watch, which read 3:55 pm. “I get it. It’s coming close to 4 ‘o clock. And, that’s usually tea time in England, where you’re from.”

“That’s correct, Miss Montage.”

“Well, Godiva.” Juniper said, “I would be honored to join you for tea time.”

“Excellent.” Godiva praised. “Then , come with me.”

As Juniper walks down the streets with Godiva, she realized that she made a new friend.

29. Muscle Mania

Author's Note

Two love birds get together with two strong ladies. Olympia and Daisy.

29. Muscle Mania

Bulk Biceps and Derpy Hooves walked down the boardwalk, enjoying their time together.

“Perfect day for a stroll.” Bulk said. “Right, Derpy?”

“It sure is.” Derpy replied. “The sun is shining, the weather is warm, great for being here on the boardwalk.”

“That’s for sure!”

As the two friends continue their time on the boardwalk, they see a muscular woman wearing a yellow leotard and a yellow headband, showing off her muscles. Everybody is impressed. Bulk and Derpy see this woman, are are both at a loss for words.

“I see these female bodybuilders in sports magazines.” Derpy informed. “Even with my unusual eyes, I can see that they are finely toned.” She looks at this muscle woman. “But, WOW! This one can be on the cover of such magazines.”

Bulk looked at the woman, and realized something. “Derpy, I think that’s Olympia!”

“Olympia?!” Derpy gasped. “You mean one of those GLOW girls?”

“That’s right. It’s a rare treat to see one of those Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling up close and personal.”

“Really up close and personal.” Derpy added as she indicates a point. “Like, right behind you.”

Confused, Bulk turned, and there was Olympia standing there.

“Hi, Bulk Biceps.” Olympia greeted.

“You-you know who I am?” Bulk said nervously.

“I’ve been hearing you talk with your friend while I was posing. Sounds like you appreciate all my hard work keeping these muscles toned.”

“Aww.” Bulk blurted as he blushed. Olympia turns to Derpy.

“Hello, Miss Derpy.” Olympia said happily.

Derpy got a little nervous. “Uh...”

“Don’t be scared. I’m not dangerous. Except to those I face in the wrestling.”

Getting over her nervous feeling, Derpy figured what Olympia is saying. “You mean the likes of Jungle Woman, Attaché, and Colonel Ninotchka. Right?”

“That’s right. These muscles are not just for show. You know.”

Bulk and Derpy are impressed with Olympia. Suddenly, they are approached by a tall woman with blond hair and wearing what looks like a tattered outfit.

“Very impressive. Isn’t she?” The tall woman asked.

Derpy was astounded by this figure. “I don’t believe it. Daisy!”

“Daisy?!” Bulk gasped. “You mean that tall girl who follows the orders of the vicious Gremlina?”

“Not anymore.” Daisy informed. “I broke free from that tyrant. That freak dominated me too much!”

“That’s good to know.” Derpy said as she and Daisy hugged each other.

“You must be strong as well.” Bulk said.

“That I am.” Daisy answered. “I may not be as muscular as Olympia. But, my height makes up for it.”

“Especially now that Gremlina isn’t pulling your chain.” Derpy figured.

“I agree.”

Daisy joined Bulk and Derpy as they continue to socialize with Olympia.

Applejack and Big Mac come face to face with those hooded hooligans, Sarah and Mabel.

35. Farmers vs. Hicks

Inside the house at Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are in the basement, setting up their sleeping bags for later that night. Apple Bloom has on a short sleeve red T shirt and blue bib overalls with the pant cuffs rolled up. Sweetie Belle wore a long green short sleeve gown that goes down to just below the knees.

And, Scootaloo has on a long sleeve flannel shirt and blue jeans with suspenders. Her pant cuffs are rolled up too.

“I’m sorry, guys.” Apple Bloom said sadly. “I thought having you two join me in a barefoot expedition was going to be fun. Not like a horror show.”

“Hey, chill out.” Scootaloo responded. “It’s not your fault that two scary looking characters would jump out and scare us.”

The farm girl felt a sweet hug from Sweetie Belle.

“Thanks, guys.” Apple Bloom said retuning the hug.

Sweetie Belle got a little curious. “What happens now, Apple Bloom?”

“Applejack and Big Mac are checking out the cornfield where we got spooked. They said they know who did this to us.”

At the cornfield, Applejack and Big Macintosh search the area.

“This is where my sister and her friends got scared.” Applejack said quietly.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac quietly relied. “It’s time we flush them out.”

Applejack nodded, and raised a bullhorn she was carrying, and shouted into it. “Okay, Sarah and Mabel! We know y’all are around here somewhere. Come on out!”

Out of the cornfield, two creepy hooded woman jumped out. They both wore bib overalls, one has on a green shirt and a white hood. The other wore a red shirt and a black hood.

“How did ya figure out is was us?” The black hooded woman, Mabel, asked.

“My sister, Apple Bloom, and her two friends said that two hooded characters gave them quite a scare.”

“Your sister is the farm kid with the pretty bow, right?” The white hooded woman, Sarah, wondered.

“That’s right. And, by the descriptions we were given, I figured it was you two!”

Sarah gave a loud chuckle. “I guess our reputations are known by many.”

Big Mac looked at Mabel with interest. “Sporting a black mask, huh?”

“Sure am!” Mabel said as she chuckled. “I figured I go a little nostalgic.”

As the hooded hooligans continued to laugh cruelty, Applejack got their attention. “If you two critters don’t leave right now, we’re putting a call out to the reform school.”

The two hicks stopped laughing as Big Mac stepped in. “Eeyup. We heard that you two are missed.”

Sarah and Mabel got a bit nervous, hearing that.

“I think we better take it on the lam!” Mabel suggested.

“Yeah. Without delay.” Sarah agreed.

The two hooded woman soon took off. The siblings watched as Sarah and Mabel ran away from Sweet Apple Acres.

“Looks like that’s the last we’ll see of those mischief makers.” Applejack said.

Big Mac agreed with his sister. “Eeyup.”

Epilogue: In The Hotel

Author's Note

I thank everybody for following this collection of short stories. And now, here’s the finale, featuring me taking the blunt of Aunt Kitty and Hollywood.

Epilogue: In The Hotel

Inside his hotel room, Brian Sheil wore a yellow T shirt and green sleep shorts, laid down on his bed, feeling good about his short story collection.

I can’t believe that Jackie “Mama” Stallone liked my stories. Brian thought. I wonder if Dave McLane would like to check these out someday.

Outside the room, in the hallway, Aunt Kitty, leader of the bad girls of GLOW, heads for Brian’s hotel room, with Hollywood joining her. Aunt Kitty knocks on the door. A few seconds later, the door opens and Brian comes out.

“Good evening, Aunt Kitty.” Brian said groggily. “What can I do for you?”

“Brian, the circus is in town.” Aunt Kitty replied. “Wouldn’t you like to take Hollywood there for a night of fun?”

The young man adjusted his glasses, and looks at Hollywood. “I’d like to. That is, if the ringmaster doesn’t mistake her for one of the clowns.”

Angry at the response, Aunt Kitty slaps him in the face, and he zipped back in and closed the door. Aunt Kitty soon bashed against the door, determined to go in. Hollywood is annoyed too.

“Come on, Aunt Kitty!” Brian shouted as he keeps the angry women from barging in. “Stop it! Can’t you take a joke?!”

THE END
