Chapter 4: Mean Girls Will Be Mean
Authors Note: Haven't really written anything in a few days. Been too busy being a bum and drawing stuff. Gotta make sure I won't look like a dope in art this year. Sort of lost all of my willpower to write for my other two stories. Thankfully I'm still feeling this one, I just tend to forget or procrastinate or get distracted. One of my many flaws, it's rather annoying, but I can't help it.
-Bwaped- Also, thank you very wishing me a happy birthday! :3 Don't worry, you weren't late. It's the 20th. Early bird gets the worm, I suppose. Would that saying even fit in this context? I don't think it would…oh well. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say.
With that being said, let's get to it! –NinjaDino4

"How does this even work?" Twilight questioned poking a screen.
"You gotta do it like this!" Rainbow snatched the object from Twilight and began to jab the screen with all her might.
"Ah don't think yall are supposed to do it like that." Applejack said uncertain of the way Dash was handling the device.
"Well then Ms. Know It All. Why don't you try making this thing work?" Rainbow handed the technology over to Applejack. Instead of smacking it around she inspected every inch of the common Earth tool.
"What do you think it does?" Rarity asked in curiosity.
"What does what do?" Emma responded walking into the living room with a tired expression.
"This weird rectangley thingy!" Pinkie quickly grabbed the object pulling unsuspecting AJ to the ground at the same time.
"It's a laptop." Emma replied groggily.
"A lap-what?" Applejack asked sitting upright.
"A laptop. It's like a giant library full of everything you could imagine." She answered.
"Library?!" Twilight yelled in glee. "OooOoo. How do you get it to work!?"
"Maybe I should just show you." Emma took the computer from Pinkie and pressed the power button.
The former ponies each gasped when the screen lit up.
"This really has everything you could imagine?" Fluttershy asked looking unsure of the device.
"Yep. All you have to do is use your finger on this area and move it around." Emma demonstrated the motion. "The white arrow will move around just like your finger. Then click on the big letter e. It's the internet. Then bam, you'll have access to a bunch of stuff."
"So you push the buttons on the…laptop and it shows up on the screen?" Rarity asked slightly confused.
"Well…yes and no. You see-"The doorbell rang cutting Emma off mid-sentence.
"Let me get it! Again!" Pinkie Pie shouted racing past the six in a blur. She opened the door with the biggest smile she could conjure up.
"Uh…great smile, Pinkie." Jaden said taken aback by her overly happy attitude.
"Thanks!" She replied stepping aside allowing Jaden to come in.
"What are you doing here so early?" Emma questioned approaching her best friend.
"You didn't hear?" Jaden questioned her.
"Hear…about?" Her face screamed stupidity.
"About the brand new ice cream parlor that just opened up. Duh. It's called Cones and Waffles. It's supposed to be totally amazing. I was wondering if you wanted to come with me." Jaden replied expecting an answer.
"Ice cream?!" Pinkie grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him back and forth. "You people have ice cream here?!"
"Yeah? I uh don't suppose you wanted to come too, Pinkie." Jaden really hoped she would say no, but he knew better.
"Of course I want go! Maybe we could all go get some ice cream." Pondering it for only a fraction of a second her face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Girls! Come here!"
Not a moment too soon the five other elements joined the three by the door.
"What do ya need?" Applejack asked the same question each one had for their friend.
"Well. Me, Emma and Jaden are all going out for ice cream! Do you wanna come with us?" Pinkie questioned earning a strange look from Jaden.
"I was kinda hoping those six would stay here." Jaden whispered to Emma.
"And I was kinda hoping you and Rainbow would get along. Looks like neither of us are getting what we want." She whispered back smart alecky causing him to frown.
"Of course, darling. That sounds wonderful." Rarity replied.
"Count me in." Applejack added.
"Me too." Fluttershy quietly responded with a smile.
"I…um…" Twilight glanced between her friends and the living room multiple times before coming to a decision. Between her best friends and the laptop she was able to easily make a choice. "Sure. I'll go too. The massive library can wait for me."
Rainbow didn't say one word. The friction between Jaden and her was obvious. Both couldn't even stand being in the same room as one another.
The six stared at Dash awaiting her answer, but weren't met with one they wanted.
"What?" She questioned folding her arms in a defensive manner.
"Aren't you gonna come with us, Dashie?" Pinkie asked playfully nudging her friend, but immediately was nudged back putting space between the two.
"No." She simply replied growing slightly annoyed.
"Please." Pinkie begged putting on the best pouty face she could muster up.
"No." Rainbow stood her ground not caving in to the most desperate thing she had ever seen Pinkie do.
Giving up on the lone sad face, Pinkie Pie pulled each one of her friends closer and whispered a plan into their ears.
"Nothing you guys do is gonna make me go." Dash rolled her eyes.
The six each broke out into a pouty face making Rainbow back up uncomfortably. Jaden started to snicker a bit, getting enjoyment out of her misery.
"I…I said I wasn't…Stop looking at me like that." Rainbow Dash stuttered eventually running into the wall.
"All you have to do is come with us. Then we'll stop." Rarity replied continuing to pout.
"But I don't want to." Rainbow responded obviously lying.
"RD, I know a lie when I see one. Just admit ya wanna go." Applejack stated.
"PLEEEEEEEEEAAAASSSEEE!" The six begged in unison causing Rainbow to wince.
"Fine!" She yelled throwing her arms into the air. "I'll go to the stupid ice cream place if you all would just quit pouting and begging!"
"Deal." Pinkie smirked at her victory. Jaden and Rainbow rolled their eyes as the others giggled at their expense.
"We should probably get dressed. I don't really think jammies are the best look for us." Emma stated looking at the mane six. Each one looked extremely rachet considering their hair looked like a vacuum cleaner attacked it.
Several minutes later, pretty much an eternity for Jaden, the girls came into the living room all ready to go.
"Why is it that girls always take forever getting dressed?" Jaden asked getting off the couch.
"Because we actually try to look good. We can't just wake up and have perfect hair. It takes work." Emma replied flipping her locks with her hand.
"We're just going to get ice cream. It's not a photo shoot…" He muttered opening the door for the girls. Noticing Dash was going to be the last one out of the house he got an idea. At just the right moment he let the door go causing it to hit Rainbow on the way out.
"What's your problem?!" She yelled shooting him a glare that seemed to drill into his skull.
"Chill out, Skittles. Take a joke." He tried to contain his laughter as they walked to their cars.
"That wasn't very nice." Pinkie said to Fluttershy feeling bad for Rainbow.
"He's like the Gilda of this world." She replied back somewhat calm despite the flashback occurring in her mind.
"So who's riding with who? I guess me and Emma could each take three of you." Jaden asked taking his keys out of his pocket.
Rainbow opened the back door of Emma's car and jumped in without hesitation.
"I'll get Dashie in a better mood." Pinkie assured them all and hopped in the back seat as well.
"I like Emma's better. It has…more class." Rarity stated trying her best not to come off as a snob.
"She has a sports car, of course it has class. Still, it's nothing compared to Betsy." Jaden replied rubbing the front of his red truck.
"Betsy?" Applejack didn't know what to think of his weird antic.
"Yeah, I don't know why boys like to name their trucks." Emma looked at Jaden weirdly.
"That's really weird." Applejack replied earning looks from the rest of the mane six.
"Don't you name your trees?" Pinkie said poking her head out of the window.
"That's different. A tree grows up; this thing probably doesn't grow at all." AJ argued.
"Shouldn't we get going? I think we've all gotten a bit off topic." Twilight exclaimed opening the back door of Betsy. Fluttershy climbed in followed by Twilight.
"I suppose we should." Emma stated getting into the front seat. "You can ride over here, Rarity." She pointed to the passenger seat which Rarity got into pretty quickly.
"Guess that leaves the passenger seat of Betsy all to you." Jaden smiled reaching over the seat so he could open the door
"Thank ya kindly." Applejack said climbing into the truck.
"Anything for you." He smirked trying to hold back any kind flirting that would slip.

"I just don't get him. Why is he such a jerk to me?" Rainbow grumpily asked.
"Uh…I…don't know." Emma stuttered trying to focus on the road.
"You mustn't take everything about Jaden so seriously. Sometimes others just have some instantaneous resentment towards another." Rarity replied wholeheartedly.
"Well it's not fair. Nobody else gets whacked with a door…" Dash slumped into her seat.
"Cheer up! Can't you survive hanging out with Jaden for some ice cream?" Pinkie questioned leaning her arm on Rainbow's shoulder.
"You know what…yeah. I can! I think I could stand him for some sweets. Besides, he wouldn't start something in front of other people. How low is that?" She said breaking her bad mood.
The girls noticed the different scenery as they drove down the road. Each building that went by caught their attention. The town was well constructed having a nice balance between nature and industry.
"Here it is." Emma stated pulling into a parking space right next to Betsy. The four got out of the car and met up with the rest of the group.
"Whoa! This place is so big!" Pinkie shouted running to the door.
"It even has a big spinning ice cream cone on the roof…just. WOW." Emma stated in shock.
"The outside is amazing, but shouldn't we check out the inside?" Jaden pointed towards the door where Pinkie was bouncing up and down in excitement.
Emma nodded walking into the parlor with the mane six and Jaden.
"Here. Buy them whatever they want. I'm gonna go get a table." Emma said handing Jaden a bunch of money.
"Sure." He headed for the counter with the Elements of Harmony to order.
Emma looked desperately for an empty spot, fortunately for her she managed to find one. Sitting down she noticed quite a few people staring at her with a smile. Normally she tried to ignore familiar classmates who seemed too eager being her presence, but she wanted a nice time with her friends.
"Could you all not stare at me? Just this once?" She begged, to her delight each turned around and went on with their business.
She sighed in relief finally having a moment without being in the spotlight.
"Emma? Is that you?" A voice asked.
Emma's eyes shrunk at the sound of the person calling her name. "Oh god, please. Please don't let it be her." She whispered.
"It is you. Oh how wonderful." An extremely wealthy looking blonde teen sat down across from Emma.
"Jennifer…what are you doing here?" She questioned trying her hardest not to reach across the table and choke her.
"My dad owns this place. Just one of the many things he owns in town. Let me guess, you're here to get some ice cream." Jennifer peeked over Emma's shoulder and spotted Jaden along with the mane six. "Look at those weirdos by Jaden. I mean, that one with the pink poofy hair is way too hyper. It's like she's on crack or something. Don't even get me started on the one with rainbow hair. I mean what is she, Ronald McDonald's daughter?" She laughed causing Emma to growl.
"Don't you dare say any kind of crap about my friends." Emma reached across the table and grabbed Jennifer by the shirt.
"I wouldn't start anything if I were you. In a snap of my fingers I could get you all kicked out of this place." Jennifer smirked. Emma released her, but wasn't too pleased.
"By the way, you should start looking for a new group of friends. Jaden's fine. I don't mind him, plus he's pretty cute. Far too cute to be hanging with you, but the other six…Ew. Well, maybe except the one with the curled purple hair. As much as I hate to admit it, she's decent looking. Aside from her, they're just a bunch of losers. I mean you have the geek, the redneck, the crack head, the Crayola circus clown and the social outcast." Jennifer got up from the table and left without another word.
"Bitch…" Emma muttered under her breath.
"Did Jennifer come over here?" Jaden asked sitting next to Emma. He slid her over a bowl of mint chocolate chip with whipped cream.
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy sat across from Emma, Jaden, Applejack and Twilight.
"Yeah. Apparently her dad owns this place. What are the odds of that?" Emma replied taking a bite of her ice cream.
"Considering he practically owns everything, it's not hard to imagine. By the way, I just downsized your fifty dollars to twenty five dollars." He said handing her the rest of the money.
"Who's Jennifer?" Twilight asked before eating some of the chocolate ice cream she ordered.
"I bet you a million bits it's her mortal enemy." Pinkie spat out devouring her banana split.
"Right on the money. I hate that girl." Emma replied bitterly.
"Why do ya hate her?" Applejack questioned taking a nibble of her apple sorbet.
"Cause she's downright cruel. It all started back in junior high. We had first period together, eventually she made it known that she was the best all because her family was rich. Of course some loud mouth got sick of her boasting and told her I was rich too. That's when it turned into some kind of competition. Everything I did, she did better. It was like some addiction for her; eventually I stopped doing sports or anything else so she would leave me alone. Instead of beating me at everything, she went to making my life a living hell. It's not like my life doesn't already suck, which is where I can't understand why she goes out of her way to make it worse." Emma explained poking her dessert.
"Your life sucks?" Fluttershy questioned delicately eating her strawberry ice cream.
"It's a long story…" Emma sighed staring at the table.
"I'm sure you could fill us in later." Rarity stated eating her French vanilla in a refined manner.
"Maybe." Emma was about to eat another bite of her ice cream, but a loud bell rang causing her to flinch. Her spoon launched a mint chocolate chip glob onto her face and lap.
She sat in shock over the mishap with her ice cream.
"My bad, it seems the microphone picked up the service bell." Jennifer deviously smiled as she walked by.
Emma began to shake in anger. Looking down she grew even more furious upon seeing the mess on her brand new top.
"Calm down. It's fine, don't let-" Jaden started, but Emma stood up and climbed over the seat. He face palmed at the boiling rage that consumed her.
"Looks like Emma's low enough to start something in this place..." Rainbow said. Each watched in fear as Emma rushed to Jennifer.
"What the hell is your problem?" Emma grabbed Jennifer by the shoulder turning her around.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Total slip up with the microphone placement." She responded giving her a confused look.
"Don't play dumb with me. You're a total demon from the darkest depths of hell trying to mess up everything I have." Emma shoved her causing her to a stumble a bit.
"That is it. You and your group of freaks are out of this place. BANNED FOR LIFE. Don't even think of stepping foot into this parlor." Jennifer reached into her pocket and pulled out a small square device. She pushed the small red button on the front.
Moments later a couple of tall muscular men approached the two.
"What's the problem, Miss Jennifer?" Both asked at the same time.
"I need you to escort her and the little group over there." Jennifer pointed out the seven sitting at the table with a look of fear.
"Of course." One grabbed Emma by the arm and practically dragged her away.
"This isn't over." Emma scowled as Jennifer waved goodbye.
"You seven need to take your ice cream and get out." The other security guard ordered.
"But that's not fair!" Pinkie shouted.
"We didn't even do anything. Jennifer started it!" Rainbow argued.
"Regardless, her father owns this parlor; we have to listen to her demands. Even if they are a bit far-fetched." The guard holding Emma's arm stated.
"Maybe we should just leave, I get the feeling we're all making a huge scene over nothing." Twilight said. The others looked around and noticed she was absolutely right. Everyone was staring at them curiously.
"Fine. Whatever. This parlor sucks anyways." Emma spat out snottily. The other seven grabbed their ice creams and headed out of the building. The door was shut immediately after they were practically tossed out.
"Sorry everybody…Guess this is all my fault." Emma apologized.
"It wasn't your fault. No one is mad at you." Fluttershy assured her.
"Darling, that Jennifer girl seemed really nasty. There is no reason you need to apologize." Rarity responded, the others nodded in agreement.
"She's the Gilda of this world! Definitely her! It's official." Pinkie Pie announced.
"Far worse than Gilda." Rarity added.
"What's this?" Emma asked out loud picking up a box from the top of the hood on her car. "It just says Emma on the front…"
"A present?! What's in it?" Pinkie asked jumping up and down in curiosity.
"Let's see." She opened the box, only to be immediately drenched in soda. The stickiness spread from her head to her feet.
"That's more like a prank." Rainbow stated trying so hard to hold back laughter, but failing miserably.
"Just great. Just flippin great." Emma groaned feeling completely disgusting at this point.
"There's somethin' on the ground." Applejack picked up a piece of paper and read it aloud. "Looks like you're the slob of your little group. What a nice addition. Better watch your back from now on."
"Well that wasn't very nice." Twilight stated.
"Like the ice cream and soda wasn't enough, she's probably planning another attack on me as we speak." Emma clutched her head with her soda soaked arms. Everyone looked at her with concern.
"Guess you can say…Gilda'll strike again!" Pinkie shouted nobody in particular.
I'll try to update sooner. I'm just so lazy when it comes to writing. Making up scenarios in my head is easy, but making it all come together is way different. Couldn't get Mean Girls out of my head when I thought of this. Every good story needs an evil bitch to ruin the good person's life. Lol, rachet. That word makes me laugh.
