Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

Rarity

I resisted the urge to facepalm as Rainbow and Applejack glared at each other. Somedays I feel like the group mediator otherwise these two would absolutely kill each other.

“Okay Applejack. Tell Rainbow why you had a problem with Sweetie Belle singing in the song,” I said calmly as we stood in Applejacks barn.

“Because she’s mad I decided to be nice to your sister and agree to help her apologize!” Rainbow exclaimed angrily.

“That ain’t the case and ya know it!” Applejack shot back. “Ya can’t just suddenly give away lines without telling us ahead of time. Ah wouldn’t have had a problem if ya told us. Pinkie wouldn’t have either!”

“Yeah yeah sure!” Rainbow grumbled as she rolled her eyes.

“She has a point,” Pinkie chimed in from where she was hanging upside down from the rafters. “I wouldn’t have cared. I’m not a meanypants.”

“You sure seemed mad at the time,” Sweetie announced as she came out from behind me. “I think Rainbow was kinda justified. Also how are you on the rafters of the barn?”

“Ah wasn’t mad Sweets. Ahm frustrated because people can’t just change things like this without forewarning!” Applejack shouted.

“Can we maybe not yell please?” Twilight called out nervously from her spot on the floor. “I’m trying to do my homework and I can’t if you two are screaming at each other.”

“And it’s kinda just a big misunderstanding,” Princess Twilight sighed and shook her head. “I have to get to Adagios soon. Rainbow, you felt you were doing something right correct?”

“Correct!” Rainbow nodded her agreement.

“And Applejack just wanted communication correct?” Princess Twilight continued as her counterpart watched in awe.

“Yes,” Applejack said as she sighed. “Look Ah love Sweetie Belle just as much as everyone else here does. Ah ain’t give a damn if she was signing literally just warn us.”

“Okay maybe I was a bit rude,” Rainbow admitted. Pinkie snorted as she fell from the ceiling and landed into a hay bale. “Pinkie oh my God! Are you good?”

“Beyond good! That was spectacular!” Pinkie screamed as we all cringed slightly. Pinkie popped out of the hay with her hair full of it. “Let’s do it again!”

“Let’s not,” Fluttershy whispered.

“And a bit rude is an understatement,” I said as Rainbow glanced back at me. “Can we maybe not fight now? We have school work to do, Applejack has the Princess to take to Adagios house and I have to help Sweetie Belle with her math.”

“Have fun at your girlfriends PriTwi,” Rainbow snickered.

“PriTwi?” Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow. “What the heck is that?”

“Our worlds Twi is SciTwi, Equestrian Twi is PriTwi,” Rainbow explained as we all shrugged.

“Why don’t we just call her Princess or something?” I suggested.

“That’s Adagios job!” Pinkie called out with a giggle as we all burst out laughing. Princess Twilight turned a bright shade of red as she rolled her eyes.

“May Celestia have mercy on my soul,” she muttered under her breath.

“Can Sunset help me with my homework?” Sweetie asked hopefully.

“Fine.”

“How much do I have to pay you to just do my homework for me?” Sweetie Belle asked Sunset with a bored expression and chewed on the end of her pencil. “This is the worst!”

“I’m not doing that. Sorry kid,” Sunset snickered. “Scootaloo tries it all the time and I say no. I still think she just steals Silver Spoons homework when she’s asleep and just writes down the answers.”

“So how do you like being an older sister?” I asked and leaned forward. “Must be a lot to take in. First Cheerilee takes you in and then you get three sisters.”

“It’s nice,” Sunset said instantly as she examined Sweeties paper. “Silver Spoon adores me for some reason. She and the others fight often about who loves me more. Diamond Tiara is the exact same. Don’t even get me started on how Scootaloo attempts to prove it. Mainly trying to do me random favors.”

“Scootaloo does mention you often,” Sweetie announced as she glared at her homework. “I knew she was an orphan to be honest. I kinda got curious where she lived and followed her one day. I never told anyone because it didn’t seem right to tell people.”

I gave a slight smirk at her and rolled my eyes. I can almost guarantee Scootaloo knew she was being followed. Sweetie Belle isn’t exactly the definition of quiet at times.

“And tell me, how does Derpy feel about it?” I asked with a bigger smirk. Sunset turned slightly red as she stared at my sisters math book.

“She loves them. All my friends do. Bon Bon and Octavia takes Diamond to the clothes store often. Apparently they all have the same fashion choices. Vinyl, Lightning and Lyra go skateboarding with Scootaloo a lot. I never knew Lyra owned one but learn something new everyday,” Sunset admitted. “Silver Spoon just likes sitting with me and Derpy and talking. Sometimes Trixie joins us and she does magic tricks. It’s nice having two of my three aunts closer now because Ruby comes over often. Dinky and them are like one giant group.”

“Oh you have no idea,” I chuckled. “Only these three can cause so much chaos. I can’t imagine with seven girls running around.”

“Damn right!” Sunset snickered as she shook her head slightly and Sweetie growled.

“I hate math.”

“Math is necessary darling. You need it for everything. Clothing designing, teaching you name it,” I chided. “It sucks but it’s a necessity.”

“If boring me half to death is necessary then totally,” Sweetie grumbled under her breath. “So uh what’s Equestria like?”

“It’s nice. The only real problem is I’m kinda having trouble figuring where home is. Sure, I’m from Equestria but my family and partner is here. It’s difficult in all honesty. Me and the others are going to Equestria to visit Starlights old village.”

“Well I’d say home is where the heart is,” I answered after a moment. “Seems most of your heart is here. Especially since you and Derpy have group sleep sessions with your sisters.”

“She told you about that?” Sunset asked in curiosity.

“She and I have been talking a little recently to get to know each other better. She’s a lovely person. She did mention waking up and your sisters all sleeping with you two,” I brushed a hand through my hair with a smirk. “Adorable I must say.”

“Understatement,” Sweetie said as she glanced at Sunset. “You’re probably gonna kill me but I never really got to say this. Sorry about anon a miss. Plus I’m sorry about your mom and all.” Sunset sighed as I watched nervously.

“I know. You and me both kid.”

Sunset pulled Sweetie into a one armed hug as I gawked. I didn't expect that to be honest.
