Ruined Reputations and Friendship problems
The night sky arose as the sun sets, revealing the night moon; shining brightly in the night sky. The windy breeze blew through the window, which was open agape. The magenta curtains blew courteously against the strong breeze of the wind. The Main 7 sat on the floor, their legs crossed to form 'crisscross apple sauce,' they form a circle around the rug on the cold hardwood floors of Pinkie pie's bedroom. They shivered. The clattering of teeth could be heard.
"Can you please close the window?" Rainbow Dash groaned, growing irritated. With a nod, pinkie pie stood and made her way over to the window. She happened to be the only one who wasn't shivering like an earth quake. As she reached to close the window, she giggled before speaking.
"Okie dokie lokie." She beamed.
She slammed the window shut with an audible click. The latches of her bedroom window snapped together. Locking it. She turned to face her friends, who were still shivering vigorously. She walked back over to her spot next to Twilight and Fluttershy and sat down. She sat in a 'crisscross apple sauce' position. Her arms touched the tips of her hardwood floors behind her. She leaned back. The silence seemed to be too much for her. Sunset shimmer seemed to have noticed the unusual fidgeting coming from Pinkie. Pinkie is well known to Fidget. It's no surprise. But, this much fidgeting usually meant something was wrong. Sunset shimmer eyed her suspiciously.
"How about a game of Truth or dare?" Sunset asked, attempting to break the unusual tension.
"Oh! I read a book about these, Last time we played Truth or dare, it was an absolute fail because we didn't have rules!" Twilight beamed. Twilight Pulled out a navy blue and black rimmed book, Titled; How to play Truth or Dare. Rainbow Dash Squinted before turning to speak.
"Uhm. Twi, that's not how it wor-" She was cut off.
"And, I've been reading up on it ever since! I'm so prepared for this!" She took a quick breath before continuing. "Oh! I'm so excited. I read all 786 Pages. I know exactly what I'm do-" She was soon cut off by Rainbow Dash.
"Woah, Woah Woah. Slow down there egg head. You read a book? On how to play Truth or Dare?" She asked. Twilight opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Rainbow Dash. "And you read all 786 pages? I didn't even know that the 'eggheads guide to playing Truth or Dare, would have to explain it with 786 pages." She continued. Twilight glared towards her.
"I mean, If you'd like to know how to play a simple game like Truth or dare, why don't you go ask...you know. Somebody who's not an egghead?" She asked.
"Pfft. 786 pages just to play a game." She mumbled under her breath.
"Why not?" Twilight asked. Rainbow Dash looked over confusingly over at Twilight.
"What?" She asked.
"Why not?" She asked again. "Why can't I just read a book on how to play a game." Twilight grumbled. Her glare growing slightly. Rainbow Dash seemed unfazed.
"Uh, because it's a waste of time?" Rainbow Dash defended. "I mean, It would be a waste of time for me. Three pages into that book, and I'm done." She pointed towards the book sitting firmly in Twilights hands.
"Well, how would you like it If I told you to stop playing so many sports, because their boring?" Twilight yelled. Rainbow Dash glared as she spoke.
"Hey! First off, sports are not boring, and-" She was cut off by a screech.
"STOOOP!" Rarity screeched. "This is absolutely unacceptable! You're Pinkie pie's guests. We all are. And you two are acting very foolishly. You should apologize right now!" Rainbow Dash faced Rarity, ready to protest.
"Well, I wouldn't be acting so foolishly if Twilight, hadn't ruined it with her egghead guide to-" She was cut off by another voice.
"Just, stop Rainbow Dash." Sunset Shimmer spoke. "It's no use, making a fuss over nothing."
Rainbow Dash shut her mouth, she didn't want to go further into detail. She hated admitting it. But, she knew they were right.
"Alright, Let's just... play the game now." Sunset shimmer continued, as she exhaled.
"We'll work our way around the whole circle. When the last person goes, we'll start from the beginning again." Twilight finished, getting nods from everyone else.
"So, who's first then?" Rainbow Dash asked, looking at everyone sitting in the enclosed circle.
She eyed Pinkie pie, who had immediately sprang from the position she was once in, into a kneeling position. "ME ME ME!" Pinkie called out, raising her hand and waving it frantically. The others watched as she struggled to contain herself.
Rainbow Dash Spoke, "Alright pinkie, Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Is it true that...you lick the frosting off the spoon before you apply it to desserts?" Rainbow Dash asked. Although she hoped Pinkie Pie would say no.
Pinkie Pie giggled before answering, "Oh, I couldn't do that. That would be breaking the number one rule of baking!"
Everyone sighed with relief. Pinkie Pie turned her attention to Fluttershy who was currently sitting besides her. "Truth or dare?"
"Uhm. Truth." Fluttershy spoke.
"Have you ever mistreated one of your animals before? You know, murdered one of them before?" Pinkie asked deviously.
"Oh! Heavens no. I wouldn't hurt a fly." Fluttershy answered, raising her hands slightly in defense.
"Okie dokie!" Pinkie Pie retorted. Fluttershy sat quietly before Twilight calmly urged her to continue. Fluttershy raised her eyebrow before they furrowed back into place as she realized what she was talking about.
"Truth or dare, Apple Jack?" She asked.
"Dare." She answered simply. She smirked.
"Oh okay, uhmm..." Fluttershy muttered, as she began thinking.
"I dare you to, lick a tree." She gleamed happily, as she finally had came up with a good dare. She watched as Apple Jack's eyes widened.
"Tree's are 'fah picking apples, not licking tree sap."
"Nuh-uh-uh." Rainbow Dash shook her head. "You can't back down now AppleJack. It's a dare, so you have to do it." Rainbow smirked.
"Ah never said that ah was backin' down." AppleJack Protested. Without warning AppleJack stood up, and trotted down the stairs, her friends following close behind. She could enclosed hear muttering behind her.
"She's really going to lick a tree?" Twilight whispered, leaning towards Sunset Shimmer.
"Yep, looks like it." She whispered back towards Twilight. They flinched as they watched AppleJack walk down the last two steps and fling the front door open, which caused them to fall over backwards. As Sunset Shimmer felt herself falling over, she quickly grabbed for an object close behind her, which happened to be Rainbow Dash's shirt. Rainbow Dash's body flung forward right into sunset shimmers back. The impact sent them both tumbling down the last four steps of the stair case. She landed on Sunset Shimmer at the bottom off the stair case. They groaned. The others gasped.
"Are you guys okay?!" They heard a voice say.
"I think I'm good, sunset's back broke my fall anyways." Rainbow Dash spoke.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sunset grumbled. "Can you please get off me now?"
"Stop fooling around, ya hear?" AppleJack said. Her arms crossed as she leaned on the now open Front door. "I've got ah dare tah' finish, so let's just get it over with."
Rainbow Dash immediately sprung up from Sunset Shimmers Back onto her feet. She helped Sunset Shimmer up as her friends walked towards the front door. They followed close behind.
AppleJack walked up to a nearby tree. Her friends circled her as she watched the tree carefully. She drag her finger solemnly against the bark of the tree. She eyed the tree once again. She stare at the tree for a good two minutes, she placed a finger on her chin. Her friends looked confusingly towards her.
"Just lick it already!" Yelled the now angsty Rainbow Dash. "It's freezing out here." Rainbow said, rubbing her arms.
"Okay, okay fine! Ah'll' lick it." AppleJack spoke. She leaned into the base of the tree and hesitated before licking it. She brought her tongue out of her mouth, and dragged it on the bark of the tree. Her friends gasped. She galloped back into the house, running into the nearest bathroom.
The running of water could be heard. The others made their way back into the bedroom and sat in the same spots they were once in. They awaited Applejack. She came out minutes later still looking rather disgusted from the tramatic experience. Ignoring the distinguished taste, which still lurked her beloved taste buds, AppleJack spoke.
"Alright Sunset, Truth or dare?" She asked.
"I think I'll go with dare." She answered. AppleJack tapped her chip as she began to ponder over a reasonable dare. After a while, a dare finally came into mind. Of course it wasn't going to be easy. Wouldn't be Truth or dare if it wasn't juicy, right? It had to be juicy. Literally.
"Ah' dare you ta' eat fifth-teen cupcakes." That's all? This dare is really going to be that simple? Well, no. There had to be a twist. And that twist was, Apple Sauce.
"But, there's a Twist." She added. "Ya' gotta blend all them cupcakes with apple sauce, in the blender, and drink it." AppleJack smirked.
Sunset gulped. But, she was up for the challenge. She stood up confidently from her spot. "Let's do this." She uttered. She walked down the stairs. Carefully this time. She leaded her friends down the parallel stair case. They walked towards the kitchen. Sunset Shimmer stood in front of the counter top. She grabbed the cupcake tray which was sitting on the window seal of the kitchen. She walked up the counter where the blender sat.
She pulled open the lid, and placed it beside the blender. She carefully lifted the cupcakes up from the tray one-at-a-time, careful not to disturb the colorful frosting. With her spare hand, she slowly peeled the wrapping off the sides of the cupcake. She then proceeded to dump the cupcake into the blender. She repeated the same steps about fourteen times, before she noticed AppleJack walk towards the fridge.
She pulled out six cups of applesauce. She peeled the caps off the top of the cups, and squeezed the sides of the plastic cups. The gooey substance slid out of the cups, into the blender. Sunset then proceeded to toss the two remaining cupcakes into the blender. She brought her finger to the button which would blend the mixture. She held her finger on the button, as she watched them mix together. She watched as the cupcakes and the Applesauce blend together. The mixture began to turn brown, light brown chunks were visible along with hot pink streaks of frosting.
She took her finger off the button as it seemed to be done. She pulled the clear cup, which held the disturbing substance inside. She pulled the lid off. The aroma of the cupcakes mixed with applesauce filled the room. Except, it didn't smell like cupcakes, and it didn't smell like apple sauce. It smelt awful. They all threw two fingers over their nose, holding their nostrils closed for a moment.
"Ugh. What is that awful aroma?" Rarity asked looking at the blender. She looked at Sunset, "Oh, you are in for quite the...Dessert this evening."
Sunset grumbled, "Gee, thanks."
She pulled the cup closer to her face, as she mentally prepared herself. She brought the cup up the mouth, and began to chug. As fast as she could. Her eyes were clenched shut as her friends chanted. 'Chug chug chug.' Her grip on the cup tightened. She wasn't going to loose the dare. Or atleast...that's what she wanted them to believe. She felt the last of the substance elapse into her throat. She placed the cup down onto the counter, she felt queasy. A wave of dizziness waved through her. She waited till it parted.
"H-how'd I do?" She asked.
"Pretty well, actually." Twilight answered. She placed the cup into the sink as the rest of them made their way back up towards the bedroom. She followed solely behind. They all took their seats on the bedroom floor once again.
She turned to face Twilight, "Truth or dare?" She asked her. Twilight looked quizzical for a moment.
"Truth? Oh wait, I think I'll pick-" Twilight was interrupted by Pinkie pie.
"You can only choose oooone, Twilight!" She sang smiling.
"Oh, uhm okay then. Truth."
"Do you have a crush on Flash?" Sunset Shimmer asked. She watched Twilight blushed furiously.
"Uh...Uhm."
"You've gotta give me a full answer." Sunset smirked.
"I- Maybe." She flushed. This was enough information to set Rarity off, "Oh, goodness. I simply must help you ask him out! It'll be so romantic. I can even help you get ready for dates."
"Oh, it's quite alright Rarity, Y-you don't have to do that." She looked down at her fingers, playing with them gently. Rarity wasn't taking no for an answer.
"No, I simply must darling. What kind of friend would I be If I didn't? What kind of representative of the element of generosity would I be If I didn't?"
Twilight felt tense. Twilight continue to play with her fingers, as she looked nervously towards Rarity. She spoke, "Well...In that case. I guess I could put it into suggestion." She shrugged. Rarity smiled.
"Truth or dare, Rarity?" Twilight asked.
"Truth please." Rarity said.
"Do you like diamonds or rhinestones better?" She asked.
"Aren't those the same thing?" Rainbow Dash interrupted.
"Ya' their the same thing. Ah've' seen those plenty o' gems, to know their the same thing." AppleJack agreed. Rarity was about to protest only be disturbed by Twilight, and her 'Smart mouth.'
"Rhinestones are known to be commonly softer than diamonds, diamonds are the hardest gemstone. Rhinestones are far more fragile than diamonds because they're made of polymers. Diamonds are also known to be far stronger than rhinestones but, that doesn't mean they aren't fragile. Diamonds also distort light that passes through them-"
"Okay, Okay! We get it." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "I don't think we need a whole lecture on gems."
"We'll, I actually prefer gemstones, although they are in more demand than diamonds. I just love the significance of them." Said Rarity. She pondered for a minute, when she felt like she was forgetting something.
"Oh right! Rainbow Dash, Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Hm.." She placed a finger to her chin, as she bean to ponder on what dare would do. At first she was going to do a simple dare, such as having Rainbow Dash pet her cat, as she had never really gotten along with her. That was when she Thought back to all of Rainbow Dash's 'Harmless Pranks'.
Rainbow Dash looked through the bathroom window, of Rarity's house. The street was empty. But Rarity's roof wasn't. Rainbow Dash had been kneeling on it, for a good few minutes. She had been trying to open Rarity's bathroom window as quietly as she could. She threw her hood over her head, incase somebody walked by. Her prismatic rainbow hair would be quite the giveaway. She placed her fingers under the creases of the window which was open a draft.
She looked through the window, She could see a human shaped shadow reflect onto the floors of the hallway, and the 'human shape' wasn't standing still. It was walking. And, it was walking towards the bathroom. She quickly threw her body against the slanted roof beside the window, her arms placed swiftly against her sides. She listened closely. The sounds of the bearing foot steps, increasing. She feared somebody might be coming to the bathroom. The sounds of footsteps seemed to shimmer down. They got farther and farther and farther. She turned slowly to take a quick peak to see if the 'disturbance' had parted. She stared for a good ten seconds, before proceeding.
She kneeled back into the position she once was. She lifted the window up, slowly. As the opening of the window seemed big enough for her to fit through, she positioned herself in a 'laying' position. She slowly slid on the creases of the window. She placed her hands firmly on the base of the bathroom to catch herself incase she fell. She stood up, as her feet finally reached the floor. She walked over the cabinets, which happened to be directly under the sink.
She took out a purple hair dryer. A mix of purple and transparent Sequins covered the handle, and tips of the dryer. She held the hair dryer upwards to face her. She reached behind her, into her pocket. She pulled out a small plastic bag filled with flour. She chuckled quietly, before opening it and pouring the substance into the hair dryers creases. She heard a voice, and foot steps coming towards her. She quickly scooped up the bag of flour, she threw it into her pocket. And jumped out the window. She threw her back up against the slanted roof once again. She hadn't bothered to close the window. It was far too late for that anyways.
Rarity trotted into the bathroom, her hair was wet. Meaning, she had recently showered. She smiled at herself in the mirror. She looked at the hair dryer, to the left of her. Rainbow Dash chuckled as Rarity picked up the hair dryer. She flicked the switch 'on' as it pointed to her face. The powder spread like wild fire. It covered all of Rarity's face, and hair. She shrieked, at the utter disaster. Rainbow bawled with laughter, as she pulled the window open. Rarity turn to face her.
"Rainbow Dash!" Rarity screamed. She was about to protest, when Rainbow Dash spoke.
"Calm down. It was just a harmless prank."
Rarity grumbled.
She thought of the perfect dare. The dare of all time.
"Well?" Said an antsy Rainbow Dash. "Are you done staring at the floor day dreaming? Or are you gonna dare me already?"
"My dearest apologies dear," She started. "And, matter of fact, I do." She smirked. This would be pay back for that prank. Although that prank was months ago, she still couldn't part with this perfect opportunity.
"You've got to wear my new line of clothing. And, you've got too take pictures," She started.
"W-what?" Rainbow Dash stuttered. She could hear the stifled laughs of her friends. "You want me...to wear fancy clothes? And take pictures?" She tugged at her shirt.
"Yes. Why? Is there a problem here?" She smirked.
"No... but, why do you need pictures?" Rainbow squinted.
"I need them for social media, you'll be like," Rarity stopped to think, "A model." She finished. Rainbow Dash's eyebrows furrowed a bit.
"One, problem. I'm not a model."
"Exactly." Rarity smirked.
"What?- That doesn't answer my-" She was cut off.
"Very well then. Then I suppose you'll let me continue?" She remarked.
"Continue!? Y-you mean there's more?" Rainbow Dash stuttered. After all, It wasn't the idea of fancy clothes that scared her. It was the fact that her friends would have witness her in fancy clothes. Especially since she knew Rarity could be extra. Saying she's only a little bit extra, would be an understatement.
"No, their isn't more. We just need to head over to the boutique." She added. "Shall we?"
[At the boutique]
"Are you done in there Rainbow Dash?" Rarity asked. She had been facing the curtain which Rainbow Dash was changing in.
"Uh, Almost." She called out. A good three minutes passed before she stepped out from the curtains. Her face red as a tomato. She wore a bright navy blue dress, the dress was rather short as it reached just up to her upper thigh. Golden lining traced around the bottom of the dress. The dress reveal her shoulders. She wore a gold metal choker with a dark blue gem centered into the middle. She wore black open-toe wedges. The straps of the heels stocked with transparent gems. She struggle to pull the short dress down. The dress revealed her curves perfectly.
Her friends gasped at her appearance. "AWWWW."
Rainbow Dash stumbled. Walking in heels just hit different. She took a step forward which caused her to fall forward, she quickly reached for Rarity's shoulders. Luckily, she had caught herself. If she hadn't she could've risked her dress flipping up.
"Goodness darling, do be careful." Rarity's eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"Heh heh, Sorry. I'm not exactly used to wearing heels." She said, casually placing her elbow on Rarity's shoulder for balance.
"Woo-wee Dash, you look quite Dandy in that dress." AppleJack Started.
"Yeah! Dashie looks like somebody who's going to a pretty homecoming dance!" Pinkie Pie added.
"Yeah, you look awesome Dash." Fluttershy added. They all nodded. Rainbow cocked a smile at the compliments.
The sound of the door slapping shut, caused them all to draw their attention towards it.
A voice called out. "Hey, Rarity! I was wondering if you still have those gems I needa' borrow them for a science projec-" Scootaloo stopped mid sentence as she looked at Rainbow Dash. She was in a dress. Her idol was in a dress. But Rainbow Dash never wore dresses? Right? She squinted, having thought she was just dreaming. Apple bloom and Sweetie belle stare towards Rainbow, mouth agape.
"H-hi squirt." Rainbow Dash smiled nervously, slowly waving.
"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH," She squealed before continuing, "You. Look. Amazing."
Rainbow stuttered out an answer. "Well-Uh. Thanks." Dash said. Feeling her cheeks grow hot, she stumbled over to the nearest table. On it sat a small jug of water. Rainbow Dash grabbed the jug, and started to sip. Scootaloo stared, confusingly at Dash. She shrugged it off, as she remembered she was here for something.
"So, Rarity? Do you have any spare gems I could borrow?" Scootaloo asked.
"Oh yes of course," Scootaloo watch as Rarity disappear into a small storage closet. She came out with a small cardboard box which held gems, it looked to be about fifth-teen to twenty gems.
"Thanks Rarity." She placed the gems on the table, as she turned to stand where the others were.
"While you were in the dressing room, I set up the photo area." Rarity added, pointing to wide space where a bright green curtain hung on white rods, which held it up.
She watched Dash nod, and trudge over to the middle of the room. She sat on the white stool which was on top of the green curtain which touched the base of the floor.
Rarity began to position the camera. She cocked an eye at Rainbow Dash, before looking into the camera lens once again. Something seemed off. It suddenly clicked.
"Oh goodness dearie, I forgot to brush your hair." Said a now frantic Rarity. She hurriedly head up the stairs and disappeared into her bedroom. She came back with a hair brush in hand. She stood behind Rainbow and started to pull at her gently with the hair brush, or at least that's what it felt to her; to Rainbow Dash it felt like giant dragon claws bearing down on every strand of hair in her very scalp.
"OW OW OW-" She yelled. "Do you have to pull my hair like a mad man?!"
Rarity immediately stopped at this. "Oh please," She pleaded. "Stop being a baby, I'm not even pulling that hard." She defended. Dash groaned in response. Rarity pulled the hair brush gently through Dash's hair. She brushed as she wanted to make sure no tangles were even half visible. She gave a reassuring nod towards Dash when she was done.
Rarity went to stand behind the camera, which had been placed a few feet away from the Dash, still facing her.
"Alright Dash, pose for me." Rarity said, directing her right eye into the eye of the camera. The room went silent. With those words Rainbow Dash stood up from her chair, and pushed it away. She got confused glances from her friends. She stood up, her legs spread apart. Her right hand lay on the right side of her hip. Allowing her hips to lean to the right, Her left hand held the peace sign. She put on her signature smirk, looking towards the camera. She stood like this for nearly thirty seconds.
"Did you get it?" Rainbow Dash spoke, her teeth still stay grit together.
"Yep, I got it." Rarity said, "You can stop posing now." Dash sighed with relief, as she relaxed her body. Rainbow Dash struggled to pull down her dress. It was incredibly short. She tug at the bottom. The dress didn't slip far down. It still reach her upper thigh.
"So, does that mean I can change now?" Asked an antsy Rainbow Dash.
"Not quite yet, I did say my line. Hadn't I?"
"Oh. Yeah, that's... right." Dash grumbled.
Rarity nodded, Letting out a firm, "Mhm." As she walked over to a specific cart. The cart held a heap of outfits. They weren't piled, they were organized in color order, hanging firmly on hangers. She shoved her hand onto one of the hangers, pulling it out, to reveal a timid pink open shoulder top and shorts. The baby pink top held a shiny vinyl faux leather. White fur lay around the shoulder parts of the crop top. The pants portray the same melodious baby pink vinyl faux leather pattern. White fur lay indecisively against the waist area, dragging it's way up the rise, rounding it's way around the leg opening.
"Here, wear this," Rarity shoved the outfit into Dash's arms. Rainbow Dash gazed heavily at the outfit in her arms.
Pink, pink, glitter and pink. That's all she saw.
"Seriously, Rarity? There's no way, I'm wearing this!" She held the outfit out in front of her, getting a better look at parament.
"Why ever not?"
"Too much glitter, Too much pink, Too much...well, pink,Just...Just too much!" She waved her hand across Rarity's face, crossing her arms.
"But, it's to die for!" Rarity acknowledged, rubbing her pale hand onto the soft material.
"Oh, I've got just the thing." She pointed her finger at her noggin, getting an idea, then running into the distance, returning with a pair of knee-high boots, portraying the same design as the outfit. She stood at the top of the stairs, showing off the baby pink vinyl boots. She stumbled down the stair case, shoving the beautiful prismatic boots in Dash's face.
"Isn't it lovely?" Asked Rarity, who was lost in awe.
"I guess," Dash shrugged.
"Good, now wear this."
"But-"
She stopped as she felt hands on her back. She began to panic as she felt she feet moving. Except she wasn't moving her feet. In fact they weren't moving, they were gliding. She blinked to find herself in a small cornered room. She jumped at sound of metal scrapping. She felt arms shove the vinyl leather boots into her arms.
"What the-" She eyed the boots suspiciously.
"Put these on." Rarity smiled. Watching Dash nod, she pulled the curtains closed. She trotted off into the middle of the room.
"Rainbow looks really good in a dress. She should consider wearing them more often." Sweetie belle uttered. Apple bloom nodded, agreeingly.
"Ah know right. Funny how people who barely dress up, always look great all dressed up. It's pretty rare if ya' ask me."
"That might of just been the smartest thing you've said all week." Scootaloo added, the sarcasm in her voice apparent. Apple bloom smirked at this. A defiant reminder lurked Apple bloom's mind. She prepare herself to speak, "Speaking of which," She started, "Why'd ya' go sit alone with Rumble today at lunch?"
"U-uh well, you see." She stuttered out. Fidgeting with her fingers, she hesitated to continue. "Uhm. Well uh,"
"He asked me too?" She looked at her friends. She gave them a look that looked more like she was asking them.
She chuckled nervously.
"He asked you too? Why would he do that?" Sweetie belle cocked an eyebrow.
"W-wait, that's not what I meant!"
"Then what did ya' mean?"
"Wait no. He did technically invite me. We haven't really sat together, since we got-" She looked at the wall indignantly, pausing for a second.
"Since...Since we got crackers! Yeah."
"Crackers?"
"Y-yeah. Crackers, everybody likes those these days."
"Crackers?" Sweetie belle repeated.
"Yeah," Scootaloo sighed, looking at the ceiling, "He really likes crackers."
"But, I still don't understand what crackers has to do with why ya' were sittin' with him." Apple bloom countered, she eyed Scootaloo suspiciously. "Ya' never sit with him. Ya' always claimed boys were petty."
"Ever since we were kids you've been hangin' out with him, but ya' never sat with him at lunch. Why now?"
"I told you, he asked me too."
"Why'd ya' accept." Apple bloom asked, getting in her face. "Why? Hm? Can ya' tell us? Or, are ya' gonna keep fibbin'?"
Dammit. Scootaloo thought. They're onto me.
"Maybe, Maybe I wanted to?" She squinted, the end of the sentence drifted off. It sounded more like a question.
"OuUUh. Do you have a crush?" Sweetie mocked her, coming real close to her face.
"No, he's my boyfriend." She glared.
Sweetie belle stifled a gasp. "Oh. My. Gosh. You have a boyfriend? Really? You never told us." She smirked, giving Scoots a light pinch on the arm.
"Yeah! Ya' never told us ya' had a boyfriend." Apple bloom spoke, crossing her arms. She wore a tense smile.
"Relax, we've only been together for two weeks. I wanted to make sure it was going somewhere before announcing it, or even calling it official." Scootaloo presumed.
"Makes sense," Rarity commented.
They turned their attention to Rainbow as she stepped out of the curtain. Although the baby pink, didn't quite sit well with her prismatic hair, she still looked stunning. The white fur, and pink vinyl leather crop sat perfectly above her waist line. The white fur on the vinyl shorts reach her waist line, showing off her exquisite curves, and slim figure. After a few minutes, of posing and taking pictures, it finally came to an end.
"Rainbow Dash, thank you for doing this for me. It really means a lot. Considering you did it for free and all. I've had models who would charge hundreds." Rarity uttered, chuckling.
"Wait- I could've gotten pai-" She stopped realizing what was about to escape her lips, "You're welcome!" She beamed.
The main 7 all lay in their sleeping bags, wishing each other goodnight. They had spent a few hours playing board games, and making cupcakes. They were pleased to finally be able to get some shut-eye. Pinkie Pie slept on the bed, while everybody else slept on the floor. It had been nearly five minutes, since they had shut the lights. Pinkie pie spent those speculated moments staring at the shelves. She marked the visual figure's of the items on her shelf. After nearly one extra minute of staring; she decided she had, had enough.
"Wake up!" She screamed. "We haven't played enough board games!" She gasped.

Ruined Reputations and Friendship problems
"Why are they all staring at me like that?"
It had been nearly a week since the sleep over. Although the dare replayed in Dash's head, rather...several times, she was still glad she hadn't chickened out. A daredevil like her, could never chicken out. Never ever. Chickening out on something as simple as wearing designer clothes would not only make her seem weak, but it would ruin her reputation in a snap of a finger. Again, it wasn't the idea of wearing fancy clothes, it was the idea of her friends, anybody seeing her in them.
Rainbow Dash's slumber was brutally interrupted as her phone made a rather unpleasant ding. She could recognize the sound anywhere. Groggily forcing her eyes open she turned her attention to her phone sitting firmly on the edge of the nightstand, her charger plugged solemnly into the Lightning connecter of her phone. She groaned in frustration. She reached for the covers, pulling them over her head. Two minutes passed before she was once again, interrupted.
She couldn't help but feel a boiling pit of anger sitting at the bottom of her stomach.
"AUGGH," She yell in frustration. Her legs kicked the blanket upwards several times with force. A final violent kick made the blanket seep to the right side of her bed.
Her right arm reach for her phone, causing the blanket to fall from the side. She pull the charger from her phone as she read her home screen.
New Messages: 2 minutes ago
Twilight: Where are you? Classes start in ten minutes
Turning her full attention to the transparent bar at the top of her screen.
7:31am
'Holy-' She thought in her head, 'I can't be late! Not again. I must've forgotten to set my alarm.'
Another message popped up on the screen.
Twilight: You don't wanna be late, again.
Dash: On my way
Dash frantically sprinted from her bed. She leap from the mattress. Having not realized the blanket on the floor, her legs twisted off too the right, her knees follow suavely. Her knees caved sideways, which had caused her head to fling onto the nightstand. She lift her head from the nightstand ever so quickly, placing her hand over her forehead, where the impact had taken place.
She groan heavily as she sturdily stood up. Ignoring the pain, she raced over to her closet. She rummaged through her clean clothes. Pulling out a pair of shorts, and a shirt. She race towards the bathroom, clothes in hand. She threw the door open. Slamming it behind her, locking it. Judging by the wet shower curtains, and the sweet scent of manly shampoo. She could tell somebody had already showered. And That somebody, had to have been her brother. She couldn't help but question herself.
Why did her brother shower so early? He'd usually be up five minutes before first period starts, rush to school, and then make up a wild excuse relating to why he was late.
"A wild boar chased me in the other direction on my way here."
"My homework got swallowed by a swamp monster."
"I tripped and fell into the sewer."
"My pet bird died so, I wasn't able to do my homework."
She mimicked her brothers words. She drag her arm over to the faucet, giving it a good twist.
At this point, there was no way the time could've possibly been switched up. Throwing the curtains open, she turned the faucet on.
After showering, and throwing some clothes on, she ran back into her room. Throwing the dresser drawers open, she reached for some socks. After shoving her socks on, she forcefully put on her sneakers.
Rainbow Dash ran down the stairs. She only had about 7 minutes to get to school, before she was considered late. Again.She had force fully thrown the refrigerator door open. She shuffled through the fridge for something to eat. Anything. She spotted a small rectangular shape shoved beside the orange juice. A granola bar. This isn't supposed to be in here. She thought out loud.
It would have to do. She hurriedly slammed the fridge door shut. She let out a yelp as a familiar figure came face to face with her. Her brother, Rainbow Blitz. He smirked.
"Geez Dash, no need to jump over the roof." He threw his hands up in defense, he laughed. "You should've seen your face!"
"Ugh, I don't have time for this. I'm about to be late." She glared, running off.
"What do you mean you're gonna be late-" Rainbow Blitz cut himself off as he turned towards the oven to get a good glimpse of the clock, which read 7:37. "Well, good luck getting to school on time." He joked, snickering. Dash seemed like she hadn't heard.
Rainbow Dash tear the wrapper off her granola bar before heading towards the front door. She grabbed her skate board on the way out. She tossed her skate board onto the ground. The wheels caused the skateboard to stroll forward. Dash gracefully hoped onto the skateboard. She slid her right foot against the soft agile concrete. She lean onto her left as she prepared to pull into the sidewalk. She lean her arms out for proper balance. Once she was on the sidewalk, she slid her foot against the concrete a few more times, attempting to go faster. She had no time to waste. She prepared to stop, as the end of the sidewalk came into view. Looking towards the red octagonal shape, which read 'stop' she dragged her foot against the concrete, forcing the skateboard to a halt. She looked over to her right, and then to left; checking for any incoming vehicles.
As no moving vehicles were in sight, she pushed forward.
I dragged my foot onto the base of the concrete, stopping. I brought my foot to the back of my skate board, flinging my heel onto it. The adjusted weight added from my heel caused the back of my skateboard to lift, it flipped and landed casually into my hands. I held the skateboard against my waist as I reach into my back pocket. Pulling out my phone, I checked the time.
7:46
"7:46, I still made it." I sighed with relief, placing the phone back into my back pocket. I turned, walking towards the School doors. I could hear the muffled conversations coming from inside. As the handle came into reach, I used my spare hand to pull the door open, only to be welcomed to complete silence. It wasn't that the school was empty, no. Everybody and everyone was there, Everybody was here. They were all staring at me. A look of confusion washed over my face. I forced myself to ignore the strange looks, and walk towards my locker. I could still feel everybody's eyes on me, and it was starting to annoy me.
I turned to my left. The Jocks; Usual athlete's. They spend their hours in the gym, or near the basketball courts. You'll usually find them in sports wear. Some of the jocks are pretty jerky. I could see some of the jocks eyeing me suspiciously. Looking away, I looked towards the preps, they stood near the Jocks. They were huddled in a half circle against the lockers, as if to get of a better view of me.
The Preps; The rude, rich and snobby teens of the school. They're usually well dressed and extremely wealthy. They're pretty popular, and don't have problems fitting in. They initially have the cover, as 'rulers of the school'. They aren't afraid to flaunt in people's faces, or cause initial drama. They're big mouths and talk a lot. The Goths stood behind them. The goth's didn't stand far from the Preps. They were facing back to back.
Goths/Emo's; Known to seek the thrill of death, and they're pretty depressing with their opinions on life. Most of them lack emotion. They often wear dark clothing, and an excessive amount of makeup. They listen too loud music, and bend the rules. The looks they were giving me sent chills down my spine.
"Okay...So...this is weird." I thought. I kept walking, pulling the strap on my backpack down.
Next to the goth's stood the Socials. They often have come off as, 'The mean girls'. They all fall in similar category's to the Preps, but are entirely different. The socials are usually girls, who don't outright bully people but, like to play mean pranks on people who they believe are getting in their way. They usually spread rumors about people to break or crush them. They are very demanding too. I couldn't help but notice everybody's head turn to watch and follow my every move.
"Just Ignore them, Dash. Ignore the weird looks." My grip on my skateboard tightened.
My eyes wandered to my right. The outsiders; They occasionally wore mix matched, bright colors. They're usually very chirpy, and often excited over the small things. They're always smiling, and you hardly ever see them upset. They often have trouble fitting in, as most people find them too chirpy and annoying. One of them had been leaning against the lockers, arms crossed as her right foot pushed against the locked door behind her. Her eyes squinted mischievously as if glaring at me.
"Just keep walking..."
The nerds; Usual dorks, some of them even come off as clumsy. They are intelligent and undeniably quiet. They usually have an intense liking for software or robotics. These people. The nerds. Even the nerds were staring at me. Had I done something? I had too have definitely done something. Although, they had stood away from the crowd, I had spotted them in the back, looking me down a few times then quickly looking away.
And finally, the cheerleaders. They're usually on the football court, right after school. When their not cheering on opponents, you'll often find them in short skirts or dresses. They occasionally wear the old fashioned, sneakers and skirts. These cheerleaders, are usually girls. Besides the Socials, They're known as the schools biggest simps. They're often falling in love with boys the second they've laid their eyes on them. I couldn't help but feel a tad intimidated by the way they had been looking at me, it wasn't a stare like the others; simple and bare. It showed signs of grief and despair.
"Alright! Now, I'm making a run for it."
I sprinted off, leaving the hallway of students dumbfounded. I could hear the chats of the other students returning, I sighed of relief. Seeing my locker in sight, I ran towards it. As I open her locker, I began to wonder if my friends knew why everybody was acting so weird today. Perhaps it was something about the school grounds in general? No. They had all been looking at me. My friends had to know something, It couldn't have just been me? Could it? I shoved my skateboard into my locker, slamming it closed. I noticed some of the students giving me weird looks as they walked past me.
Ignoring the stares, I walked towards my friends, who all happened to be standing at Rarity's locker. Sunset seemed to be whispering something, it was hastily muffled by the others students chats nearby. As I walk closer, the muffle words began to become clearer.
"So, who's gonna tell Dash?"
"Who's gonna tell me what?" I asked.
"N-Nothing!" Sunset added, almost as if afraid. I cocked an eyebrow.
"Why's everybody acting so weird today," I started. "I walk through those doors, and everybody suddenly turns dead silent. Eyes on me." I pointed to herself.
Nobody responded. They were all dead silent.
I looked into their eyes for a split second. Their eyes glistened with sorrow. Their faces showed fazes of guilt. But why? I had no clue.
"Well?" I asked. "What about you Applejack, what do you know?" I asked, crossing my arms.
Applejack. The element of honesty. She wouldn't dare lie to me. Would she? Would she tell me the truth? Or would she simply say nothing was wrong? She would be a terrible liar either way. If Applejack wouldn't answer, then something was definitely wrong. I was determined to figure out what was wrong.
"Uh..Well..Ah-" Applejack stopped, she seemed to be pondering over what to say, and how to answer.
"Ya' see...uh.." She trailed off again.
The silence rendered, as the school bell rang.
"Ah'mgonnabelateforclassbye." Applejack yelled running off. Everybody else follow suite, leaving me alone. I sighed, tightening my grip on my backpack, before walking off to class.
