“Everybody saaaaaaaaay Cheese Sandwich!!!” Pinkie yelled happily before clicking onto the camera icon, the light from the mobile device barely making the others accidentally blink, they were used to photos, except for Sunset whose eyes are currently watering as we speak.

“Darn, I can never get used to that wretched light.” Sunset said, rubbing her eyes, stifling a giggle from the rest of the girls.

“Oh, Sunset, You’ll get used to it.” Twilight replied, still giggling through the words

“WOW Rarity, you’re literally so photogenic!” Sunset exclaimed. “I don’t know how you do that.”

“Genetics, darling.” Rarity brushed off. Noticing the slightly confused looks of her friends’ faces. “My mother was a model.” She proudly announced.

“Ohhhhh!” Were the initial reactions from her friends.

“That’s so cool, Rarity!” Pinkie bursted out. “How long was she a model for?!”

“When she was in her 20s, dear. I have pictures at my house and I can show them to you guys when you come over sometime!”

“Your mum sounds like a fun person to hang around.” Fluttershy commented, in her usual meek voice, yet it was slightly louder since she was around her friends.

“Yeah. But Rainbow Dash, you probably have the most awesome mum anyone could ever dream of!” Rarity added. “I’ve never heard of you ever getting grounded for anything.”

“You’ve never been grounded?!” Applejack questioned, though she knew well enough that Rainbow's parents were slightly different from the others. “I find that hard to believe…”

“Well, it is soooo true!” Rainbow retorted back. “I’m not even that bad of a teenager, my parents have no reason to ground me.” This emanated a “are you serious right neow” look from the others.

“I do remember when I went over to Dashies’ house, there was a literal shrine dedicated to her in the living room!” Pinkie added. “Your parents are soooooooooo obsessed with you, and it’s a good thing too!”

“Your parents have a “Rainbow Dash” shrine in their living room?!” Twilight yelled out, astonished. I mean, it wasn’t that surprising. Though Rainbow sucked at subjects like English and Maths, she was always so good at sports, and her parents are so proud of her for that, in fact, they’ve been celebrating and cheering for her since the day she was born, something like a shrine wouldn’t come off as surprising if you knew all these facts. “I’ve got to see that shrine before the day I die!” She added, throwing her arms up in the air then losing her balance and ending up with her back falling onto Fluttershys’ lap, she didn’t mind.

After this whole convo ended, the girls decided to watch a movie, a psychological horror movie. The girls were laying on their bellies on the ground while watching the movie on Pinkies’ laptop, the upper parts of their torsos resting on pillows.

Suddenly,

“AHHHHH!!” Fluttershy screamed.

“Fluttershy… This movie doesn’t have any jumpscares.” Rainbow bluntly said, right after pausing the movie, turning to face Fluttershy.

“I-I know, I just thought of something scary.” She meekly replied with. “You guys can continue the movie, I’ll just play Block Blast on my phone.” They girls were used to this, Fluttershy is probably the most spooked person in the group, jumping up at the littlest things, except animals which she obviously adored. The girls just sighed and continued the movie.

“Be right back, girls.” Twilight randomly said, awkwardly standing up.

“Where are you going, Twilight?” Questioned Rarity.

“To the bathroom, I’m not really feeling right.” Twilight replied. “Must be something I ate.”

“She’s probably constipated!” Rainbow commented, trying hard to not laugh, earning a glare from both Rarity and Twilight. “What? It’s normal human nature, jeez louise.”

“Rainbow Dash! That is extremely unladylike.” Rarity exclaimed, pouting to Rainbows’, what she would describe as ‘crude’ language. The rest of the girls were still watching the movie playing before them (except Fluttershy), although they could help but giggle at the convo going on in the background.

“Ha ha, Rainbow.” Twilight rolled her eyes. “But no. The symptoms I’m going through right now don’t line up with dyschezia.” Rainbow made mocking ‘blah blah blah’ hand signs, getting a laugh out of the rest of the girls, Rarity also couldn’t help but swallow a giggle, so did Twilight, she cracked into a smile. “You guys don’t have to pause the movie, I’ll be back quickly then you can fill me in on what I missed.” And with that ending statement, walked off, closing the door behind her. The sounds of the footsteps slowly fading off as she appeared to make her way to the bathroom.

The girls put their focus back onto the movie until suddenly, like one second later, the door swings open.

“Do you girls have a pad, perchance?” Twilight nervously asked in a hushed voice. “It’s that time of the month again. I must’ve miscalculated my cycle.” She fidgeted with her fingers. Applejack paused the movie.

“Oh, yeah I’ve got some in the bag,” Rainbow brushed off. “No need to be embarrassed about it, Twilight.” She added as she rummaged through her backpack to retrieve the object of interest, violently picking stuff out of the way with her left hand while digging through the bag with her right. Twilight stood over Rainbow as she tried to grab one of her pads, along with the other girls watching on. Sometimes Rainbow would accidentally pick up a random object and she would just throw it away before continuing her search. She grunted before just putting the bag upside down and spilling all its contents onto the floor. She quickly spread the objects apart from each other, not too far but far enough to identify the objects. The girls watched in bewilderment and amusement of how Dash was able to fit countless random objects into an average sized BOOKBAG, she was known to be a hoarder after all which didn’t really come off as a surprise. Rainbow could feel eyes on her.

“Any minute now…” Applejack joked with a smug grin, a giggle coming out of Rarity and Fluttershy who still had her nose stuck to her phone. During the midst of the hunt, Pinkie Pie had un-paused the movie, I guess she got too bored of watching Rainbow desperately looking for a pad, must be the ADHD.

“I’m trying, you guys are really making it awkward for me!” Rainbow replied back. “Aha!” Rainbow yelled out in a flash. “I finally found it!” She held up the object of desire proudly as if it were a trophy.

“Thanks a bunch Rainbow!” Twilight exclaimed as she took the pad. “You’re a lifesaver.” She walked through the door, once again and made her way to the bathroom, footsteps giving it away. After a moment she came back. The movie was still on but this time the light was off, the only source of light coming from the laptop screen.

“Ya feeling alright, sugarcube?” Applejack asked as Twilight sat next to Fluttershy. “Ya got any cramps?”

“I’m fine, thanks for asking though.” Twilight replied. “Usually my periods don’t hurt much.” She sounded relieved.

“We’re here if you need anything, darling.” Rarity joined as she got up to rub Twilights shoulder with a warm smile.

“Thanks.” She replied, putting her hand on Raritys'. “But again, it’s just a period, you guys act like I’m suffering from an incurable chronic illness.”

“Nonsense, darling!” Rarity exclaimed. “Us girls must stick together.”

A couple of “mhm” and “yup”s came from around the room. Twilight was happy to have such nice friends, or just friends in general. Rarity snuggled up next to Twilight with her head on Twilight's shoulder, it was silent except for the sounds emanating from the laptop screen, it was tranquil. By the way, Sunset had been sleeping this whole time but everyone just let her sleep.

Rainbow paused the movie and everybody (but Fluttershy) groaned, what was it this time?

“Rarity, remember that time when we were at that one water park in eighth grade?” Rainbow abruptly said before anyone could start complaining about the movie being constantly paused. “Like when you first got your period?”

“Oh dear, don’t get me started.” Rarity moaned as she put her head back, in an unladylike fashion which is extremely unlike her. “I genuinely thought I was dying.”

“Oh, this we've gotta hear!” Pinkie piped up. The others hadn’t noticed how quiet she’d been up to this point, very un-Pinkie Pie of her. "Sunset! Wake up!" She violently shook Sunset awake who groaned disappointedly.

"Is it morning?" She grumbled, her eyes not even open yet. This got a laugh from all the other girls.

"No, silly!" Pinkie retorted back. "It's nine pm! Get up!" Sunset slowly sat up, eyes still furrowed as they were while she was asleep.

"What's happening?" Sunsets mouth tasted weird, you know, morning weird (except it wasn't the morning). She smacked her lips for awhile, trying to process everything the meantime.

"Rarity's telling us her first period experience story." Fluttershy answered back.

"Oh," Was all Sunset managed to say. "Then by all means, continue."

Rarity sighed. “Okay so…”
