Every Dark Night Turns Into Day
Chapter XXVIII
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Well that was interesting,” Adagio commented as we started cleaning up the gym. “Wish alcohol was involved.”
“Aren’t you underage?” Blossomforth asked pointedly as she pushed the trash can my way as I gave her a grateful nod and threw my armful of garbage in it.
“No I’m not. Sonata isn’t either and she’s the youngest. We sirens are thousands of years old. We’ve seen and done practically everything,” Adagio boasted with a smirk.
“It’s true,” I admitted when I saw Blossomforth and the others giving me curious looks. Well everyone except my other friends who already knew that fact. “They’ve been around for a long, long time. They’ll most likely outlive us all.”
“That’s kinda depressing,” Lyra commented. “I think about that all the time.”
“Not this again,” Bon Bon groaned and I gave her a confused look.
“What do you mean again?” I asked curiously.
“Do you and Derpy remember when you two and Lyra spent the night at my house? It was shortly after you two started dating.”
“Uh yeah?” I shrugged. “I heard you two walking around.”
“At least that’s all she heard,” Lyra muttered. “Ow!” She rubbed the back of her head that Bon Bon slapped. “What the hell was that for?”
“For talking about our sex life in front of strangers!” Bon Bon hissed with a glare.
“Sorry,” Lyra chuckled. “It won’t happen again Bonnie.”
“Anyway, me and Lyra had a long conversation about how we are all gonna die and it’s okay to worry about,” Bon Bon explained.
“Ah interesting,” I mused as we watched my sisters playing on the opposite side of the gym.
“So what’s it like having siblings?” Vinyl asked curiously.
“It’s great,” I grinned happily. “They’re awesome. Sure, they fight amongst each other some days and I sometimes fight with them too but it’s been fun. Me and my siblings in Equestria used to be close. And then I ran off through the portal and well you all know the rest. Anyway, Silver and the others are awesome. I usually wake up most mornings with them in my bed sleeping with me.”
“That’s adorable,” Aria teased as everyone laughed.
“That’s cute,” Blossomforth agreed once she finished laughing. “What’s your siblings names? In Equestria, I mean.”
“Well one is named Sunburst. Ironically he and Starlight Glimmer were friends growing up. I was pretty young myself back then so I didn’t remember her,” I admitted as I shifted. “And well my oldest sister is well it’s my worlds version of Spitfire.”
“Oh,” Cloudkicker said finally after an awkward silence. “Must have been awkward to meet her counterpart then.”
“Oh you have no idea,” I chuckled. “I had thought Princess Celestia had sent her to come retrieve me for the longest. My sister back home is the leader of the Wonderbolts. They’re a super advanced flying team. Super hard to get into them. My worlds Rainbow Dash is obsessed with them and being a member. If I remember correctly, she’s going to the academy right now along with the Equestrian versions of Cloudkicker, Raindrops, Sassaflash, Cloudchaser, White Lightning and Sprinkle Medley.”
“What was that last name?” Bon Bon demanded as she tensed up.
“Uh Sprinkle Medley,” I said hesitantly. “Why?”
“Nothing. Just haven’t heard that name in ages,” Bon said so quietly we had to strain to hear her.
“Uh alright. Anyway, my mom was married to Stormy Flare in a herd with dad. Stormy Flare decided she wanted to see another stallion so they got divorced but all reminded good friends from what I heard. It’s a hard thing to explain to humans. I’ve never been into herding,” I explained. They all stared at me in confusion. “Okay it’s basically polygamy.”
“Oohhhhh!” They all said in enthusiasm and nodded.
“So does Spitfire know about all this?” Flitter asked with a raised eyebrow.
“No,” I admitted. “It would just make things super complicated between us. Even more so than they already are with the whole anon a miss thing.”
“True,” Flitter agreed as the door shoved open. We all stared at a panting Rainbow Dash. Lyra shot to her feet with her fists clenched.
“Gotta talk to Sunset!” Rainbow exclaimed. “Need help! Tutoring!”
I stared at her with a stunned expression. Diamond Tiara shoved Scootaloo behind her and Silver Spoon as the two clenched their own fists, glaring at Rainbow.
“No,” I said finally as I stood up to leave with my back to Rainbow.
“I could lose my ride to college!” Rainbow finally said with a desperate edge in her voice as I froze.
“What?”
“I could lose my ride to college if I get kicked off the soccer team. My parents don’t have the money to send me to college. Sports is my only way to be the first in my family to go to college,” Rainbow admitted sheepishly. “I’ll do anything. I’ll even let you hit me. After all, I did punch you in the face.” Cloudkicker stared at her in shock as Blossomforth stepped back nervously as I turned around and stepped forward.
“Ah ain’t sure that’s a good idea Dash,” Applejack said warningly as I swung my fist. It connected with Rainbows nose and she staggered backwards before falling on her ass. I took immense satisfaction in the fact she never saw the fist coming.
“Sunset!” Applejack snapped as she knelt down next to Rainbow who was groaning and holding her nose with blood starting to pour out, oddly grinning. “That was wrong!”
“What? She offered!” I shot back.
“Still! A good Christian woulda turned the other cheek!” Applejack grumbled.
“Hey I’m fine,” Dash chuckled weakly as Applejack helped her up. “Damn that girl can swing.”
“I'm taking ya to the nurse. Are ya gonna be honest about what happened?” Applejack questioned curiously. “Ah hope so.”
“Hell no! I offered to let her punch me after all!” Rainbow said proudly. Thank God Scootaloo hadn’t seen it. I didn’t like the idea of her seeing me punch her idol in the face. I stepped closer to Rainbow and folded my arms on my chest as Trixie was giggling with Fuchsia as the pair hid their cruel smirks.
“After school tomorrow. You can take me to your house for tutoring.”
