“They did what?” Cheerilee slammed a hand down angrily on her desk. We all instinctively flinched and stepped back hesitantly. Sunset was sitting at desk with her head slammed against the top. We had seen Cheerilee angry when Starlight took Sunsets cutie mark but that level of anger paled in comparison to the enraged expression on her face.

“She uh slapped her,” I nervously spoke up and Cheerilee stared at me. I hated being the bravest among us somedays.

“And ended their friendship apparently,” Vinyl cautiously added.

“I’m going to call her mother and get her suspended. No, expelled! Arrested!” Cheerilee fumed angrily.

“Don’t,” Sunset sniffed. We all glanced at her in surprise.

“But Sunset she literally assaulted you,” Bon Bon pointed out.

“In front of everyone,” Derpy angrily added. Let me tell you right now, Derpy never gets angry. She never cusses. Angry Derpy is the worst threat this world has ever faced. I’d say she was as dangerous as Hitler and Stalin. Okay maybe not that bad but it’s still pretty scary.

“What she did was fucked up,” I grumbled and gave Cheerilee a nervous look. “Uh sorry.”

“It’s fine. I’ll let it slide today mainly because that’s a good word to describe this. We have to do something Sunset,” Cheerilee focused on the orange haired girl. “This is wrong.”

“No. Just let it go. It doesn’t matter. I’ll just go up to then and plead my innocence. They will believe me if I try hard enough,” she wiped a tear away. “They are my friends.”

“You’re not going alone,” I announced immediately. “I’m coming with. I may not fight much but I can hold my own if it comes down to it.”

“Whatever,” Sunset mumbled as she stumbled out of the room.

“I’ll go with her,” Derpy stood up. “Make sure the others don’t do anything to her.” I gave a nod as she took off running to catch up.

“We should go with. Derpy can’t fight and as sweet as she is, you can’t win with sweetness,” Vinyl commented.

“I’m gonna have to burn some bridges first,” Bon Bon announced.

“Me too,” Octavia said with anger. We’ve never seen her angry so this was slightly concerning.

“Ditto!” Vinyl added her agreement as she folded her arms. I took off to find my friend and her girlfriend.

I stood in Bon Bons kitchen, surrounded by mixing bowls and batter. Octavia stood behind me helping mix batter. Bon Bon and Derpy were supervising us as we made cupcakes and brownies for a certain group of girls.

“So who exactly are these cupcakes for?” Derpy asked curiously. I gave her an evil grin as I kept stirring.

“The Rainbooms. For being such good friends,” I said sarcastically.

“Are you really rewarding them for punching Sunset and abandoning her? This is messed up Lyra,” Bon Bon glared at me. I gave her a wink.

“Oh don’t worry. This isn’t a reward nor traditional cupcakes. You’ll see,” I reassured her as I scooped some batter up with a finger.

“Lyra what are you-?” Bon Bon started to ask as I smeared the batter under my eyes.

“This is war.” Derpy and Bon Bon looked at each other before giggling. After the day we had, hearing laughter from a few of my closest friends was a gift from God.

“Where is Vinyl?” Octavia asked curiously as she set a bowl down. “You and her haven’t told us this plan of yours.” I gave a mischievous grin at her.

“Oh you’ll see. She’s out at the store picking up some ingredients we need,” I smirked as I poured the cupcake batter into a cupcake pan.

“We literally have everything we need in my kitchen Lyra. What more do you need?” Bon Bon gestured around us. “Look at this mess! It’s like a tornado went through here!” I glanced around at the flour and batter tossed everywhere.

“Sorry. I will clean it up. Alone. It’s my mess,” I promised and rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. “Do you own those thingies that you can add filling to cupcakes after they are done baking love?”

“Uh yes?” Bon Bon raised an eyebrow as she opened a drawer and set them on the table. “This is a candy store after all. We have practically everything you need to bake or make candies here.”

I gave a grateful nod as I grabbed a mitt and put the cupcakes in the oven. I gently closed and tossed the mitt on the counter. With a sigh, I grabbed a wash cloth and started cleaning.

“I was joking silly,” Bon Bon kissed my cheek as I tossed some bags into the garbage can. “We will help clean up. I don’t necessarily know your plan but we are in this together. As long as you don’t poison them.”

“Oh I won’t poison them,” I promised and held back a snicker. “You will see. And trust me, it’s going to be amazing.”

“Because that’s not concerning or ominous at all,” Derpy grumbled as she started sweeping the floor. “What are you doing Lyra?” Octavia glanced back as she started picking up some trash.

“I can’t say,” I answered with a wink. “It’ll ruin the surprise and trust me, we don’t want them finding out the surprise until it’s too late.” The door swung open as the girls gave me suspicious looks.

“Hey guys,” Vinyl grinned as she set her backpack down. I set my wash cloth down and grinned back.

“Hey V! Did you get the final ingredients I asked for?”

“You bet!” Vinyls grin turned malicious as she set down a grocery bag down and set the items on the counter. The other girls gathered around and stared in shock.

“Lyra,” Bon Bon said warningly. “Are we sure this is a good idea?”

“She’s right,” Octavia agreed. “Some of this stuff seems a bit out there and risky.” I gave a malicious smile of my own.

“Oh I’m sure. The Rainbooms aren’t gonna know what hit em until it’s too late. They messed with the wrong group and girl today.”

I wonder what Lyra is planning
