Author's Note

To increase my other stories getting attention, I'll post one upcoming chapter. This is for Diving Deep and it's part of this universe. It also features the Rainbow Rocks events. Takes place before this one and after the first Berry's Sunset. It is not complete yet, so youll have to read the actual story to get the full chapter.

Update (sorta)

I slumped on the bleachers and watched Snips and Snails performance. Worst thing I've ever seen. Can't even remember their own lyrics.

"Like an orange, yo!" I rolled my eyes and smirked at Lavender Lace hiding a giggle behind her hand. My eyes flicked to Pinkie bobbing her head enthusiastically.

"How can she like this?" Sea Swirl asked, following my gaze.

"Fuck if I know." I shrugged and Berry giggled.

"This so awful." She mumbled and Banana nodded.

"You're gonna mess up your back if sit slumped like that all the time."

I gave Banana the middle finger and she laughed.

I watched Snips and Snails exit the stage and say something to the Rainbooms.

"Why the hell are they excluding Sunset? I angrily demanded as I pointed a finger where Sunset was waiting off to the side with a dog. I waved to her and gestured for her to come sit with us. She quickly bounded down the stairs and over to us, holding the dog.

Berry gave her a kiss as she sat down and we watched the Rainbooms performance.

I sighed as I picked up my guitar. We had just knocked out Bulk Biceps, so we were feeling pretty good. Sunset had to go back and babysit the Rainbooms. Currently, Trixie was up on stage and finishing her song. Apparently the Dazzlings were next. I still don't know their names, I don't think anyone does.

"I kinda hate how good Trixie sounds." I grumbled.

"Yeah, me too. As if she wasn't arrogant enough." Sea Swirl agreed.

"At least Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon didn't make a band. Their egos are already inflated enough as is."

Berry snorted.

"Please, their mom's would pay off Celestia and Luna to have their daughters win." Berry scoffed. I had to agree with her there, that's exactly something their moms would do.

"We've got the song that makes you move, got the song that makes you lose it. We say jump, you say how high. Put your hands up to the sky."

"When did they even start singing?" I asked, feeling my head swaying.

"I....don't know." Sea Swirl admitted, her body doing the same as me and Berry's. I don't even know when we got to the gym floor. I felt the typical anger and competitiveness I've been feeling since they arrived.

"I hate you!" I heard Starlight scream at Flash. A tap on the shoulder got my attention and I spun to Blueberry Cake standing there. I shoved her hand off.

"Get your dirty hands off me." I snapped and she smirked.

"Aren't you the definition of dirty? Considering what you did to the school, you're the worst part of this school." She taunted and now I was behind angry. "Surprised Sea Swirl still cares about you."

I swung a fist and connected with her stomach. She staggered back in shock and I felt two pairs of hands grabbing my shoulders.

"She ain't worth it, Shoe." Berry grunted out as she held me back.

"Yeah, fuck her. She's just mad her sister died from an overdose." Sea Swirl snapped as she held my other shoulder. My legs kicked out as I struggled to get away. Looking across the gym, I could see Lyra and Bon Bon holding Derpy back from attacking Bulk Biceps. Bon Bon had a terrified expression on her face and Lyra appeared to be gritting her teeth. I've never seen Derpy that angry before. Glancing back, Sea Swirl had the same scared expression Bon Bon did. Blueberry glared at us and Banana kicked her in the knee. Blueberry took off after seeing she was outnumbered.
