Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

I sat in my chair in Pinkies kitchen as she ran back and forth tossing eggs and random ingredients into one of her various mixers. Rarity sat doing Fluttershys nails as Applejack ate an apple. I wonder if that was cannibalism with her name having apple in it.

“Not that I’m not happy we have normal Pinkie or anything back but what is she doing?” I asked curiously as Pinkie started stirring a bowl rapidly.

“Ah ain’t sure,” Applejack admitted. “All she said was emergency baking situation and here we all are.”

“Honestly darling,” Rarity scoffed as she worked on Fluttershys other hand. “I was in the middle of designing the most gorgeous dress when you called!”

“Sunset talked to me!” Pinkie shouted happily. “She wants me to throw a party for her. No time to explain. Must bake!” We all stared at her in confusion and I raised an eyebrow.

“And I assume she doesn’t want us there?” I asked hopefully. Hopefully Pinkie says we are wanted. My hopes were crushed as Pinkie froze and shook her head slowly.

“Sorry Dashie,” Pinkie said quietly. “She only said me and Applejack are allowed there. Out of us here at least.”

“And her friends can’t go? That’s kinda weird?” I pointed out.

“No they can go. Cloudkicker, Flitter, Cloudchaser, Raindrops and Blossomforth are allowed to go as well. Pretty sure they’re all getting decorations.”

“Oh " Rarity sighed and looked away. “Hopefully we get this resolved. You’re all done Fluttershy dear.”

“Oh!” Pinkie suddenly screamed and I jumped, rubbing my ears. “Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are coming with too!”

“Why would they of all people go?” I asked in confusion. “I know she and Scootaloo are coolish, but the last two?”

“I did hear a conversation between Sunset and Scootaloo in the hall the other day,” Rarity announced suddenly. “Completely slipped my mind. I was going over an order for Roseluck. Sunset called Scootaloo sister and Scootaloo called her sister back. And then Sunset told her to go to the car where mom and her other sisters were waiting. And then the two said I love you to each other.”

“And you didn’t think to say anything about that to any of us?” I demanded as I stood up. “That’s some serious shit!”

“Don’t cuss,” Rarity hissed as she looked around worriedly. “Marble is upstairs. You know how protective Limestone is of her. She’ll beat our skulls in.”

“I’m not afraid of her!” I shot back as Rarity rolled her eyes.

“Sure you aren’t,” Rarity scoffed dryly. “And as for your question, it slipped my mind. Sorry Rainbow Dash!” I glared at her and tried my hardest to ignore the sarcasm.

“What if Scootaloo replaced me?” I asked worriedly. “All because I’m taking some time away. Apparently wanting to sort my feelings out makes me the worst person ever!”

“People in the comments will probably say you’re awful for taking time to yourself for that,” Pinkie commented as she sprayed some icing on a large cake depicting Sunset’s hair colors.

“Uh what are you talking about Pinkie?” I asked in confusion. She ignored all of our confused looks and gave us a sheepish grin.

“Nothing!” She gave a nervous laugh. “Nothing at all!”

“Uh alright?” I muttered and rolled my eyes. Pinkie was so weird sometimes.

“Anyway,” Applejack stood up and tossed her finished apple away. “Ah gotta get home and make sure Bloom is doin her homework.”

“I’ll see you guys around. I gotta do my own school work,” I groaned. “Hey AJ?”

“Yeah Dash?” She asked and tossed a look back my way mid wave.

“Is it cannibalism for you to eat an apple?”

“Don’t ruin apples for me.”

“We need to talk about your grades Rainbow,” Mom said as I laid in my bed. She gazed around my room and made a disgusted face. Moldy pizza boxes covered my desk and a pair of underwear along with my bra were hanging from the ceiling fan. I wasn’t the most cleanest person in the world. Just don’t question it.

“Okay,” I looked over at her and paused my TV show. I’ve seen for like the nineteenth time but I don’t really care. Damn good show.

“You’re failing science,” Mom remarked as she lifted up a old pair of gym shorts with a pencil before she tossed it into the laundry basket. “Me and your dad have both told you multiple times to get your grades up. They’re gonna kick you off the soccer team if you don’t get your grade up. And not only that, you’ll lose your ride to college.”

“I’ll get it sorted out,” I answered as I tossed a soccer ball up into the air.

“You said that before,” Mom reminded me. “And it hasn’t gone up.”

“This time will be different!”

“Maybe you should ask for help,” Mom suggested. “I know she’s mad at you right now but maybe Sunset would help.”

“I don’t need help. Besides there’s no point in trying. She’s gonna say no,” I admitted and tossed the soccer ball into my closest with my other sporting gear.

“What are you a quitter now?” Mom taunted me with a smirk. “First time for anything.”

“Excuse me?” I growled as I glared at her. “I don’t ever quit!”

“You’re quitting right now,” Mom answered. “Guess you aren’t cut out to be an athlete or college either. You’d probably quit those too. If they are too hard for you, then just say so.”

“Hell no!” I exclaimed as I sat up. “I don’t quit ever. I’m gonna pass college no problem. I’d never give up on that. I’m gonna walk up to Sunset and demanded she helps me damn it! I’m gonna be the best in the whole God damn school not even Twilight could rival me.” Moms face softened as she gave me a warm grin as she waited for me to finish.

“I knew you could do it. Just had to encourage you dear. I know you aren’t a quitter, don’t worry.”
