Rainbow Dash opened up her locker in the Wonderbolt Locker room. Her flight suit, folded up neatly under wing, was placed inside before she grabbed her duffle bag and placed a few of her essential items in it, like her wing balm and such. She had just finished another long day of training with the Wonderbolts, and found herself smiling proudly at how much she had improved since her, let's just say "rocky" start to her career as a Wonderbolt.

She had come for routine training for the past few months, and had shown everypony on the team that she was capable of everything she bragged about. Spitfire even showed that she was impressed on a few occasions. She had also grown closer with a few of the other more experienced Wonderbolts as well.

Fleetfoot, one of the fastest on the team, was almost just like her. Confident, a braggart, a tad egotistical (not that she'd every tell you that), and of course, sassy.

There was also Soarin, the second-in-command, and also one of the strongest in terms of wing-power on the team. He was a bit of a goofball, a messy eater, and sometimes a bit "dense", but he was endearing.

Dash might even say she liked him in.....other ways.

Dash shook her head as he thoughts caused her to blush. She finally packed everything into her duffle bag and began heading for the exit. After stepping into the hallway, she ran into Spitfire.

"Hey Crash! Ready for a little weekend break." Spitfire said playfully, referring to Dash by her nickname she earned on her first official day on the force. Like said before, it was "rocky".

"You bet! This week has been rough!" Dash exclaimed. They had just completed their week long training for an upcoming tour, and now were getting the weekend off to relax before embarking on it.

"What are your plans now Dash? Gonna go and party it up someplace before the tour?" Spitfire asked as they reached the front entrance to the building. Dash shrugged.

"Maybe. I might just go and check on my friends, have some cider if Applejack can spare any, that kind of thing." Dash responded. Spitfire raised an eyebrow and stopped walking, making Dash stop to look at her.

"So, you have no real plans then?" Spitfire asked. Dash took note of the eyebrow raise, and cautiously answered.

"No, I guess not, why?" She asked. Spitfire let out a little giggle and stepped closer.

"Well, tonight, Soarin and Fleetfoot are meeting at my place for a little game night. Maybe you'd like to join. We'll drink some booze, chat, and have some fun." Spitfire described. Dash took a moment to think about the offer. Her and some of her teammates meeting after dark, in Spitfire's home, to "play some games."

"Uh, sure, I'll come, do I need to bring anything?" Dash asked. Spitfire put her hoof to her chin for a moment before smirking.

"Here, if you can bring us a game to play, then I will go and get some alcoholic cider for us to drink tonight, the good shit, how about that?" Spitfire posed. Dash nodded her head with a smile. Spitfire then hovered into the air.

"Come by around 9. See you tonight there Dash!" Spitfire said before taking off. Dash felt excitement rising in her as she stood there.

"omygoshomygoshomygosh!" Dash said happily, a chance to hang out with her idols outside of practice, she hadn't really done that before, and she had only been a proper Wonderbolt for a few months at this point. So any chance to hang out with them was definitely worth getting excited for.

But, there was one tiny problem... one that hit Dash and made her freeze.

"I don't know what game to bring." She said out loud. She had a few at her house, but none that were real stand-out, none that she saw as leading to any real fun, especially not Monopony, she wanted to have a fun time, not make the others hate her.

She then got an idea, to ask a pony who surely must have some kind of strange or interesting game to play.

"Starlight." Dash whispered before taking off into the sky towards Ponyville.

"aaaaaaahhhhhhhh" Starlight let out a long, drawn out sigh as she walked into her bedroom at Twilight's castle and flopped down on her bed.

It had been a long day for her, a day full of magic and friendship learning with Twilight, so after a nice long shower, Starlight was ready to pass out for the night, and possibly for the next day as well, or at least until something interrupted her serene peace.

And that something flew into her room through the window...

There was a woosh as something came through the open window at incredible speeds, causing the bed covers, the drapes, and papers to fly around.

"Wahhhhhh!" Starlight yelped and fell off the bed as the mysterious force landed on her bedroom floor with a loud landing.

"Oah." Starlight groaned as she picked herself off the floor and looked over her bed. She saw Rainbow Dash standing in the center in a landing stance.

"Hey, Dash, why don't you just knock like a normal pony." Starlight mumbled as she stood up on her hooves. Rainbow turned to face her with an embarrassed look.

"Hey Starlight! I'm so sorry, I was just in such a hurry because Spitfire invited me to this thing after practice with Soarin and Fleetfoot at 9, and I need to bring a game so I thought that I'd ask you if you had anything interesting for it." Dash explained in an extremely fast paced way that Starlight nearly didn't understand.

"Um, okay, I think I have some games that you could borrow." Starlight said as she turned to rummage around in her closet. "Do you want a board game or a card game?" Starlight asked as she dug through the closet.

"Oh....uh....a card game, I guess?" Dash answered without really thinking. Starlight pulled out a white box first.

"Drunk Trivia?" Starlight asked. On the box was a picture of two ponies, one was clearly drunk, and the other was holding a card containing some trivia about what Princess Celestia's "other" addiction was besides cake. Dash shook her head.

"Nah, We'll be drinking, but I kinda want a game that doesn't require any egghead stuff." Dash answered. Starlight nodded and put the box back before taking out another box.

"Uno?" Starlight asked, holding the small, multicolored box. Dash took a moment to think before shaking her head again.

"I want something that can be like, a bonding experience, that can also be funny and good to play while drunk." Dash described. Starlight thought for a moment, before suddenly curling her lips into a sinister smile like she was imitating a certain Holiday Hating cartoon character. Dash was caught off guard by the face.

"Um, why the face?" Dash asked. Starlight chuckled before looking back into the closet.

"I have the perfect game for you." Starlight said before pulling out another box. This one was black with white text on it. The simplicity was striking, and Dash took it in her hooves and read the title out loud.

"Card's Against Equestrians, the Party Game for Horrible Ponies." Dash read it, a hint of confusion in her voice. Starlight simply grinned at her.

"It'll be the perfect choice for tonight." Starlight assured her. Dash was hesitant though.

"I don't know Starlight. I don't think they'll like it if I bring this over. They'll think I consider them "horrible ponies." Dash said. Starlight shook her head and pointed at the box.

"This is perfect to play with friends. It's just a bunch of jokes, it's not serious! I played this once with Sunburst, Trixie, and Maud, you'll have a blast I promise!" Starlight reassured her. Dash took one more look at the box before nodding and looking back at Starlight.

"Thanks Starlight." She said with a smile. The unicorn smiled back at her and patted her on the shoulder.

"No problem, but I think you better get going." Starlight said, pointing to the clock, which was nearing 9pm.

"Oh Horsefeathers...." Dash said as she spread her wings and got ready to take off. "Thanks again!" She shouted before taking off into the sky from the window.

Starlight was left alone in her bedroom, laughing to herself.

"She's in for a LONG night....."

Dash touched down back in Cloudsdale, in a higher class neighborhood, not far from where her parents lived actually, but she didn't have time for them tonight. She looked back down at the game in her hooves and took a deep breath.

"I hope this works." Dash muttered to herself before approaching on the houses. It was a larger property, one definitely befitting somepony of Spitfire's reputation as the captain of the Wonderbolts. She saw that the lights were on and she could hear music being played faintly from inside.

She began to walk up to the pathway that led to the front door when she heard a familiar voice.

"Dash?"

She jumped and spun, seeing Soarin standing just a few yards away on the sidewalk. He was casually out of uniform and was holding a plate with plastic wrapping over what appeared to be a pie. Dash took a second to recover from the shock of suddenly seeing him and smiled.

"Hey Soarin, how are you tonight?" She asked, casually trying to talk to him. He smiled as stepped closer to the pathway Dash was on.

"I'm fine. I'm here for Spitfire's little game night. What are you doing here?" He asked. Dash motioned to the game tucked under her wing.

"Spitfire invited me after we were done with practice. I brought a game for us to play." Dash explained. Soarin nodded and awkwardly walked up next to her, looking at the game.

"Card's Against Equestrians? Never heard of that one. What is it?" Soarin asked. Dash let out a puff of air before shrugging.

"I just got it from Starlight so...I don't really know. It's a card game." Dash said. Soarin smirked.

"For horrible ponies? Are you trying to say something to us Dash?" Soarin asked playfully, nudging her. Dash chuckled as he did, and the two looked at eachother.

For a moment, there was a little silence between them, like they both wanted to speak, but neither had anything more to say.

Before more could be exchanged, the door in front of them suddenly opened and Fleetfoot stepped onto the porch.

"Oh my gosh! The lovebirds are here!" Fleetfoot cheered a little too loudly for Soarin and Rainbow Dash. Both of them blushed and stepped away from eachother. Spitfire appeared next to Fleetfoot.

"Nice of you guys to finally show up! Come on, let's get started." Spitfire said, motioning for them to follow. Soarin and Rainbow Dash wordlessly followed Spitfire in, with Fleetfoot giving them both winks and suggestive looks as they passed her, making them blush even more.

Once they were all inside, Rainbow Dash placed the box on Spitfire's dining table and grabbed a bottle of cider from her as well. Spitfire and Fleetfoot both read the box, Spitfire let out a simple laugh, while Fleetfoot began giggling.

"Oooh, I like the look of this game! Is this one of those games that don't give a shit?!" Fleetfoot asked.

"Probably." Spitfire said before she opened the box, revealing a white booklet, and below that, a series of white and black colored cards. "I'm intrigued by this already Dash, nice job." Spitfire complimented. Dash nodded.

"Thank you." She responded. Fleetfoot let out another chuckle.

"Though, that tagline makes me suspicious. Am I really a horrible pony Dash?" Fleetfoot asked in a whisper-like voice. Dash chuckled.

"Sorry Fleet, Soarin beat ya to it with that joke." Dash said as she took a seat at the table. Fleetfoot frowned at Soarin.

"Oh you dick." Fleet said with mock anger. Spitfire took the booklet out and flipped it open to read the rules.

"So here's how we play, To start the game, each player draws ten white cards." Spitfire began, but then her face contorted into a confused scowl before reading the next part, "The pony who most recently pooped begins as the card princess and plays a black card..." She read, giving slightly disgusted glances to the others.

"Geez Dash, where'd you find this? In Luna's dungeon?" Fleetfoot asked.

"No, my friend Starlight gave it to me." Dash answered. Fleetfoot chuckled again.

"Ah yes, the former cult leader who brainwashed ponies into giving up their cutie marks, I would have expected nothing less from her." Fleetfoot said jokingly, but still earned a look of disapproval from both Dash and Soarin. Spitfire kept reading.

"The card princess reads the question or fill-in-the-blank phrase on the black card out loud. Everypony else answers the question or fills in the blank by passing one white card, face down, to the card princess. The card princess then shuffles the answers and shares each card combination with the group. For full effect, the card princess should re-read all or part of the black card before presenting each answer. The card princess then picks the funniest play, and whoever submitted it gets one awesome point. After the round, a new player becomes the card princess, and everypony draws back up to ten cards." Spitfire explained. The others all nodded to eachother, understanding the rules.

"Is there a score limit? Or time limit?" Soarin asked. Spitfire looked through the rest of the rules and shook her head.

"No, there are different ways to play, but I think the best is to play ten rounds. When all four of us have been the card princess, that'll count as 1 round. After we finish the tenth, whoever has the most awesome points wins." Spitfire decided. The others all nodded in a agreement.

"Yeah, and that winner is gonna be me!" Dash said confidently, "If anypony here deserves the most awesome points, the the most awesome pony here!" Dash bragged. Fleetfoot laughed.

"Oh, don't be so confident Dash, I am the most raunchy and vulgar here." Fleetfoot challenged, taking another long swig of her cider, "So bring it on." Both mares narrowed their eyes at eachother.

"Alright, enough intimidating, let's play." Soarin suggested. The two then sat back down, and Spitfire began dealing out the cards.

And the game began....
