Greetings. I am Vultarian01. I apologize for my lateness. As you can tell by the title of the chapter the main purpose of this chapter will be to show the mane 6 and their brief slices of life. I hope I had done this correctly. If not please comment. Danke.
Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or its respective characters. The only characters I own are the Oc's of Soothing Spirit and Slipstream. Slipstream probably will not be touched upon again. However, Soothing Spirit is yet to be said. Enjoy.
Chapter 7
Thirty minutes later…
After the brief group photo, the Mane 6 and Spike decided it was time to head home. After changing into their regular attire and locking up, they all left to walk toward the bus station to catch the late bus back to Canterlot. Once they got to the Canterlot bus station, they all went separate ways and headed for home.
Twilight's house
Twilight and Spike walked around the corner and walked for about two blocks before reaching their house and seeing their Dad's tan Sedan parked on the side of the road. Both the yard and the house were fairly simple in design. The yard didn't have a fence but it was filled with freshly cut green grass with nothing except a bird bath standing on it. The middle of the lawn had a narrow concrete path that led to the small porch of a square, two story house. The house was painted white on each side with four windows on the front of the house. Twilight and Spike walked up the path to enter their home through the front door. When they entered, they smelled something coming from the kitchen and proceeded towards it. They went through the hallway and entered the kitchen to see that the dinner table was already set up with five plates of angel haired pasta with popcorn chicken in them. At the table was their father, Night Light, and their mother, Twilight Velvet.
"Hello, sweetie!" Night Light greeted her daughter.
"Hi, Daddy!" Twilight said as she went kiss him on the cheek before taking her seat at the dinner table.
"Hey, honey!" Twilight Velvet greeted her son.
"Hey mom!" Spike said as he went to kiss his mother on the cheek before taking the seat opposite of his sister's.
Night Light was a rather medium built man who always seemed to be cleaned shaved. He wore his white collar shirt with a black tie. His shirt was tucked into his dark blue pants. He was wearing black loafers. He had yellow eyes, and his dark phthalo blue hair looked like it just had recently been washed. Hairstyle was humble and nothing special except for the cow lick in front. He has always supportive of her and Spike and the decisions they had made. Twilight's hair color came mostly from her father which was about the only thing he favored as she more favored her mother, Twilight Velvet. Twilight Velvet wore her purple blouse and blue jeans with her white sneakers. Twilight Velvet had purple yes and wore her hair the same way her daughter did but it was light lavender with multiple white streaks and a small curl at the end of her hair. She was also very supportive of her children. Strangely, Spike didn't favor either of them. This was because he was adopted when he was seven. He never knew his real parents in any way as he was put in an orphanage at birth. However, Spike's new family was all the family he needed. They were the nicest people he had ever known and was immediately part of the family. Always, they treated him like he had always been part of the family. He loved it.
All four of them then began to eat their dinner. They looked to the empty plate to see that someone was obviously missing.
Spike was first to speak. "Anybody seen Shi-
Spike was interrupted by the loud opening and closing of the door. "Sorry, you guys! I'm here!"
All of them looked at the doorway to see Shining Armor panting at the doorway. He looked like he ran all the way here with his hair blown backwards. Shining Armor was the brother of Twilight Sparkle and Spike. He was a senior and was only a year older than his little sister but Twilight and Spike have always looked up to Shining Armor as their awesome big brother. Shining Armor had a well built body which was no surprise as he tends to work out often. He was wearing his White T-shirt with The Canterlot High Wondercolts mascot on the back. He also wore his dark blue jeans and his grey tennis shoes. He had cerulean eyes that matched the cerulean streaks in his dark phthalo blue hair. His hair was rather tick and long as it reached down to the bottom of his neck and went over his eyes in the front of his face which made him look very attractive. Then again, He was always the kind of guy that turned heads.
"What took you so long, dear?! Your food's getting cold!" Twilight Velvet scolded.
Shining Armor scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, I was with the guy's and I kinda lost track of time." Shining Armor then looked up to see Spike and Twilight. "Sup, Spike! Hey, Twiley!" Shining greeted.
"Hi!" they both said in unison.
Shining Armor then sat down at the dinner table for dinner to officially begin. Then Night Light asked Twilight what was on his mind all day.
Night Light swallowed his food before popping the question. "So, Twilight, How'd the tournament go?"
"Did you win?" Twilight Velvet asked her daughter.
The Mane 6 had gone by their idea with all of their parents. Twilight's parents were hesitant at first, but quickly adjusted once they realized how much Twilight liked the sport. They also thought it would help with Twilight's and Spike's character building as well as their confidence. They didn't even mind when she practiced on Spike, who willingly volunteered to do so. They wondered why she practiced with Spike instead of her older brother, but Spike wanted to be useful.
Twilight paused in thought before answering the question. "The tournament was high in tension in which the competitors pushed me to the absolute-
"Twilight lost." Spike finished bluntly which earned him an irritated glare from Twilight.
Shining Armor couldn't help but chuckle at Spike's blunt statement, but quickly became serious. "Tough luck, little sister." Shining Armor said with sympathy.
"Who did you lose to?" Night Light asked.
"Applejack." Spike answered for her which earned him another glare from Twilight.
Shining Armor shrugged. "Not too surprising. Applejack's pretty tough. But exactly HOW bad did you lose?"
"PRETTY bad." Spike said speaking for Twilight once more. Earning another glare from her sister.
"Care to elaborate for us, Spike?" Night Light asked.
Spike said nothing. He only responded by taking out the picture of Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and rarity posing on top of an unconscious Twilight and handed it to Night Light. Twilight was agape.
"I thought Pinkie had that picture?!" Twilight exclaimed.
Spike grinned like a major troll. "I asked her to make me a copy."
"Spike…" Twilight said with a growl.
Night Light examined the picture and raised both of his eyebrows before cringing. "Oh, that bad huh?" Night Light said as he passed it off to his wife who had the same look on her face once she saw the picture. "Well…at least the other three look like they're having fun." Twilight Velvet said with a forced smile before passing it on to Shining Armor.
"Whoa! What happened to you, Twiley?!" Shining Armor asked in shock.
"Well…" Twilight then went on to explain how Applejack defeated her.
Night Light closed his eyes with crossed arms and nodded until she was finished. "It seems like your confidence got he best of you, Twilight." Night Light concluded.
Twilight Velvet nodded. "I agree. Just because you practice doesn't mean you'll always win, you know? You can't get too confident; otherwise it'll impair your judgment."
Twilight knew her mother was right and nodded in agreement. "You're right, mom. I guess I got a little bit too careless. But my defeat wasn't as bad or humiliating as you think it is." Twilight assured to save herself some shred of dignity.
Spike obviously didn't see that. "You were unconscious for THREE hours, Twilight." Spike reminded.
"Who asked you?!" Twilight snapped.
"Twilight!" both parents yelled with appall.
Twilight instantly felt bad and hung her head down. "Sorry" Twilight said in a small voice.
Night Light sighed. "Twilight. I know you're used to passing tests when you study hard enough, but sports require more practice than study. I know you have practiced a lot and we're all proud of you for your effort, but you're not going to win everything, even if you practice constantly. The only thing you can do is do the best you can and keep looking forward. Okay?"
Twilight nodded. "I will. I'm sorry for my unruly behavior." Twilight said with remorse.
Night Light nodded. "That's my girl."
They all then ate in silence for a couple of minutes before Shining armor broke the silence. "So, who won then?" Shining Armor asked Twilight. Twilight looked at Spike expecting him to answer for her again, but he was busy eating his pasta.
"Rainbow Dash won." Twilight answered.
Twilight Velvet beamed happily. "Well, good for her!"
"So, how'd she win, Twiley?" Shining Armor asked.
Twilight answered him. "She had to wrestle against Applejack in the end."
Night whistled. "Sounds like one heck of a fight!" Night Light exclaimed knowing the two pretty well.
Twilight nodded. "Oh believe me, it was!" Twilight said finishing her pasta along with Spike.
"Well, I think I'm gonna wash up and go to bed now." Twilight said, getting up from her seat.
Spike followed suit."Me too."
Twilight Velvet took their dishes and told them goodnight before going to the sink to wash them.
"Goodnight." Twilight and Spike told everyone.
"Goodnight you two." Night Light said before proceeding to eat his pasta.
"Night, you guys." Shining Armor said back to his two siblings.
Twilight and Spike then left the kitchen to go to the hallway and proceed up the stairs where they have two rooms that are straight across from each other. Before they left to their respective rooms, Twilight bent down to give his little brother a hug.
"I'm sorry for snapping on you like that, Spike." Twilight apologized.
Spike returned the hug. "Sorry for being so blunt." Twilight apologized back.
Twilight gave Spike a kiss on the cheek before proceeding into her room and closing the door.
Fluttershy's place
Fluttershy walked down the dirt road just outside the city limits of Canterlot until she came upon her cottage; the only cottage and house on the road. She walked past her mailbox to walk down the dirt driveway that leads to her cottage. Her cottage has a small brown, wooden porch with a white door that leads into her house. The cottage was a one story house with a living room, a kitchen, one bathroom, two bedrooms, an attic, and a basement. Her house also had a large back yard that housed a lot of wild animals that lived in the many oak trees that grew behind her cottage that Fluttershy would often care for. Her cottage was white with a large, brown triangular roof and a red bricked chimney. Despite the trees that grow around the back of her house the rest of the land was mostly grass and dirt. Fluttershy walked up to the white wooden door and knocked gently.
"Hold on a minute!" A voice yelled beyond the door. There was a few squeaking noises and the sounds of things being knocked over. A few seconds later, a couple of squirrels and chipmunks escaped out the front door and into the yard before Fluttershy's father, Camershy, answered the door. He was a tall, lean, man with wide rimmed glasses that enlarged his light blue eyes and slicked back, grey hair that matched with his faded grey five o'clock shadow. He was wearing a light blue collared, short-sleeved shirt. His shirt was has dark blue stripes. His shirt was tucked into his blue denim overalls. He was also wearing brown boots with dark brown laces. Camershy was a lot like Fluttershy as he wasn't really the social type, but that's what made them get along so well. He looked down at her daughter and smiled.
"Hello, honey!" Camershy cheerfully greets to his daughter.
"Hello, papa!" Fluttershy greets as she embraces him into a hug to which he kindly hugs back. Fluttershy releases the hug to look back at all of the animals that escaped from her cottage. "Why were my critter friends in the house?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well…I was making dinner when all of your animals ravaged me for leftovers." Camershy said with a tired look on his face. Fluttershy then looked up and down her father and noticed that he did have a bunch of scratch marks on his clothes. He also noticed a stain on his overalls that didn't look like it came from water. Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle.
"I'm sorry papa. They're just a little eager for some food is all." Fluttershy comforted.
Camershy smiled weakly. "Well, maybe you should tell your critter friends that I'm not their side dish." Camershy said with a lighthearted laugh. Fluttershy giggled as well.
Camershy put an arm around Fluttershy. "Okay, let's go inside. I've got dinner started." Camershy said guiding her daughter into the house. Fluttershy was walked in to see a few things knocked over into the floor and a bunch of scratch marks on the walls. This really wasn't anything new to her living with a lot of animals in her backyard. They both went down the destroyed hallway toward the kitchen when Fluttershy remembered to ask her father something.
"Did you feed Angel his food like I asked you to, papa?" Angel was her favorite pet bunny that she had asked her father to feed while she was gone.
"Yes. I also made sure he ate every last bite." Camershy assured.
Fluttershy wasn't convinced. "Are you sure?"
"I don't think you have to worry about Angel, Fluttershy. He ate all of it including a part of my finger." Camershy said showing Fluttershy the bite mark on his index finger. "So, yeah. I'm pretty sure he's well fed." Camershy said with a dry smile that made Fluttershy giggle once more.
They both entered the kitchen where the table was set with two plates of broccoli covered with cheese and a loaf of bread in the middle of the table. Fluttershy was a vegetarian for…obvious reasons. Camershy wasn't originally a vegetarian but quickly adapted to the lifestyle. They both sat down at their seats and began their meal.
Camershy was the first to start a conversation. "So, uh, how was the tournament honey?" Camershy asked. Camershy was a little worried about her little girl wrestling at first, but she really seems to like it and it would probably help boos her self-esteem. She sure seemed just as excited about wrestling as much as animals.
Fluttershy lit up. "Oh it was great papa! I was in the first match of the tournament against Rainbow Dash! I lost though…" Fluttershy said lowering her head as she trailed off.
Camershy looked up with a sympathetic look. "Oh, I'm sorry Fluttershy."
Fluttershy looked up at her father and smiled again. "Oh, it's okay papa. I had a lot of fun! I'll just have to try harder next time." Fluttershy responded with a small smile of confidence.
Camershy smiled with admiration at her daughter's new found confidence. "That's good, Fluttershy. As long as you try, you'll never REALLY fail. By the way, who actually won the tournament?"
"Rainbow Dash won." said Fluttershy
Camershy's face didn't appear to be surprised. That was because, being her daughter's best friend, he knew her rather well. It wasn't really that surprising though considering Rainbow Dash was always the one for actions. And words. Both, actually. "That's great. If you see her again, tell her I said congratulations."
"I'll do that." said Fluttershy with a small smile.
Camershy looked up at her daughter to see that she was still the splitting Image of her mother, Soothing Spirit. This made him smile a bit. Soothing Spirit died in a car accident when Fluttershy was just nine years old. Camershy was devastated, but not as much as Fluttershy was. Fluttershy used to be rather outspoken, but since the accident she's always been quiet. Especially around other people. However, ever since she's been friends with Rainbow Dash and the others, she had become more comfortable around other people. Her interest in wrestling also seemed to boost her self-esteem a good bit as well. Camershy was glad that he didn't regret supporting her daughter's choice. Camershy looked up at Fluttershy to speak the words that he was too afraid to speak to her in a long time.
"You're mother would have been very proud of you, Fluttershy."
Fluttershy stared at his father's sudden statement with shock. However, that expression of shock soon turned into an expression of love before uttering the words that would make Camershy smile even more.
"Momma would have been very proud of you too, papa."
Applejack's digs
Applejack made her way down the dirt road surrounded by tall grass that would eventually lead her to Sweet Apple Acres: The home of the Apple family. Her house was well out in the country; farther that Fluttershy's cottage. Applejack didn't mind though. She always enjoyed the walk to the farm; especially at night when it was cool out. Applejack then walked past the white colored fence and mailbox and proceeded toward the long dirt path that lead her to her farm. The Apple family owned a lot of land around these parts so they invested a lot of it into their apple orchards that surrounded most of the farm. In the middle though was flat land that was used to farm other kinds of crop. It was also used to house some of the sheep in a fence, along with the chickens in the chicken coop. However, the cows and pigs were kept in the barn which was located in the center of it all. The barn was big and red (you know, like what a stereotypical animal barn would look like) and it was the biggest structure on the farm. However, the difference this barn and others is that her family actually lived in it! No, I don't mean like they are sleeping with the farm animals. The part of the barn that held the animals is only the front and wasn't as big as it seemed. The other parts of the barn were where the Apple family made their home. Applejack walked past the front of the barn to reach the side of the barn that lead to a brown door. Applejack walked up to it to give it a knock. Sure enough her dog, Winona, was barking at the door. A few seconds later, the door was opened to see the light brilliant orange eyes of her little sister, Apple Bloom.
"Applejack!" Apple Bloom exclaimed as she embraced her sister in a hug. Apple Bloom was wearing her night shirt and shorts. She was also not wearing the pink bow that was usually tied into her long, red hair.
"Nice to see y'all too, little sis." Applejack replied.
Apple Bloom suddenly broke the hug to frantically search Applejack's body.
"What in tarnation are ya doin', Apple Bloom?!" Applejack yelled in surprise to her little sister's sudden actions.
"Where is it?" Apple Bloom asked out loud as she took a few steps back to ponder.
Applejack was crazy confused. "Where's what?" Applejack asked Apple Bloom.
"What's with all the ruckus down here?!"
Applejack and Apple bloom turned to see two other family members at the bottom of the stairway. One of them was their granny. They always called her Granny, but everybody calls her Granny Smith, which is funny because her full name is actually Granny Smith. Granny was wearing her casual attire (See Equestria Girls or EG: Rainbow Rocks). She was short and pudgy with wrinkles on most of her aged body. Her eye color was similar to Apple Bloom's and her hair was white and tied back into a bun. Granny was the person who tried to take care of them when their parent's had passed but didn't have much physical strength to take care of them by herself. She did most of the cooking and cleaning while Applejack and Big McIntosh did most of the physical stuff around the farm. Speaking of which, Big McIntosh was the other person who was next to Granny at the end of the stairway. His name is Big McIntosh, but everybody usually calls him Big Mac. Big McIntosh was wearing his usual attire as well (See Equestria Girls or EG: Rainbow Rocks). He was the tallest of them all and was very well built due to him having to do most of the hard physical labor around here. His eyes were a moderate sap green above his freckled cheeks and his hair was a brilliant orange. Big McIntosh was the strong-silent type. He didn't day much, but he was always there to lend plenty of muscle when needed. His usual phrases consist of a bunch of "Eeyup's" and "Nope's". It's rare for him to speak in long conversations but usually everybody knows what he's referring to.
"Sorry Granny. Ah don't know what she's goin' on about." said Applejack.
"Y'all know what Ah'm talkin' about! Where's the belt?!" Apple Bloom whined with anticipation.
Granny Smith went over to put a hand on Apple Bloom's shoulder. "Easy there, Apple Bloom. Let yer big sister talk." Granny soothed.
Applejack looked down at her little sister. "I don't have the belt."
"What?! Why?!" Apple Bloom asked with obvious disappointment on her face.
Applejack sighed. "Well, Ah didn't win fer one thing."
Apple Bloom crossed her arms and huffed. "Applejack! We was gonna put that belt over Granny's fireplace tonight!" Applebloom said gesturing to the empty space above the fireplace. "What are we suppose to put up there now?! Big Mac's special stuffed horse!?"
Big McIntosh shook his head. "Nope."
Applejack smiled and ruffled er sister's hair. "Ah'm a might sorry Apple Bloom, but ah tried my best."
Apple Bloom wasn't convinced. "How could you lose though? Yer the strongest wrassler ah know other than Big Mac."
"Eeyup." Big Mac said nodding in agreement.
"Hey! Ah didn't go down without a fight ya know! Ah'm the number one contender!" Applejack defended.
Apple Bloom had a confused look on her face. "Huh? A number one contender? What's that?" Apple Bloom asked out of curiosity.
"Basically, in pro rasslin, when the final match of a championship title is over the loser of that match becomes the number one contender and can challenge the champion to a rematch. Basically a second fiddle." said Applejack.
"But who could you be a second fiddle to, Applejack?!" Apple Bloom asked in disbelief.
"Rainbow Dash." Applejack answered.
Apple Bloom processed this in her head before shrugging. "Yeah, I could see that."
Applejack raised an eyebrow. "What's that suppose ta mean?" Applejack replied with irritation.
"Well…Rainbow Dash is pretty tough, and you are kinda slow." Apple Bloom said picking at her big sister.
Applejack smirked. "Oh really…"
Apple Bloom's grin disappears. Before Apple Bloom could runaway, Applejack grabs Apple Bloom and puts her into a bear hug that had Apple Bloom kicking and laughing.
"Hey! Y'all better put me down!" Apple Bloom laughed while kicking.
"Why! Ah thought ah was too slow!" Applejack laughed.
Apple Bloom tried to get free but couldn't escape Applejack's strong grasp. "You're the slowest person in the world!" Apple Bloom said laughing harder.
"Oh really? Well, then let's see how fast I can get ya up yer bed!" Applejack playfully challenged.
Apple Bloom: "No! Noooooooo!" Apple Bloom laughed trying to break free as Applejack ran her up the stairs, leaving Granny Smith and Big Mac to laugh. As Applejack reached the top of the stairs, she ran the trapped Apple Bloom into her (Apple Bloom's) bedroom. Applejack then released Apple bloom onto the floor where she quickly got her footing and positioned herself into a wrestling stance.
"Y'all think you can take me!" Apple Bloom playfully challenged.
Applejack smirked as she got into a wrestling stance as well. "Bring it on!" Applejack playfully challenged back as she raised her arms. The two then did a shoulder and elbow lock up and pretended to grapple. After grappling for a few minutes, Apple Bloom broke the grapple and pretended to punch Applejack across her cheek. Applejack then spun around on her heel and put the back of her hand up to her forehead and pretended to faint and fall backwards with her arms and legs spread out. Apple Bloom then runs toward Applejack's downed body and falls across her belly.
"1!...2!...3! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ah win!" Apple Bloom laughs as she pumps her fists in the air and cheers.
Applejack looks up from her feigned unconsciousness. "Congratulations, Apple Bloom! You just won yerself a trip to a good night's sleep!" Applejack laughed.
"Aaawww!" Apple Bloom whined.
Both Apple Bloom and Applejack got up tired out from their little wrestling match. Apple Bloom got into her bed while Applejack covered her with her blanket. Applejack then kissed her sister on her forehead before heading toward her door and the light switch.
"G'night big sis." Apple Bloom yawned.
"G'night little sis." Applejack said as she turned the lights off and closed the door. Applejack then yelled downstairs to say goodnight to Big Mac and Granny before going to her room and jumping face first into the pillow of her bed and falling into an immediate, exhausted sleep.
Pinkie's lair
Pinkie Pie skipped down the concrete sidewalk while humming a tune without any actual melody before she got to the corner of the street. But this was no ordinary corner. Ohhh, No! This was a very special corner! This corner was her favorite corner! This corner was always in her corner when she was cornered by coroners who would make her sit in the corner for cornering their coroner cohorts into a corner! (Try saying that ten times fast). (Seriously). (Try it). This was because this was Sugarcube Corner! Sugarcube Corner is a pastry shop that sells a bunch of cakes, cup cakes, éclairs, and other shit. It was modeled to look like a gingerbread house to attract customers. Not to eat the house itself. It's actually made out of wood. Pinkie Pie entered the building through the door to be greeted by the sight of Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
"Hiya, Mr. and Mrs. Cake!" Pinkie Pie greeted.
"Well, hello there Pinkie!" Mrs. Cake greeted back.
"Hello, Pinkie Pie!" Mr. Cake greeted as well.
Mr. and Mrs. Cake's names are actually Carrot Cake and Cup Cake, but Pinkie prefers to call them Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Less awkward that way. Mr. Cake was tall and lean with moderate pistachio colored eyes, light brilliant orange hair, and freckles in between his eyes. He was wearing his regular work attire (See Equestria Girls) with his red and white bow tie, apron, and red and white work hat. Mrs. Cake was shorter and rounder than Mr. Cake with brilliant rose colored eyes and her light crimson colored hair with pale, light grayish crimson stripes. She also had wrinkles around her eyes that made her look older her actual age (which I will leave up to fan speculation). She was also wearing her regular work attire (See Equestria Girls or EG: Rainbow Rocks) with her pale, yellow-green apron.
Pinkie Pie grew up with four other sisters. Maud Pie being the eldest. Marble Pie being the second eldest. Limestone Pie was the second youngest. Leaving Pinkie Pie being the youngest of the four daughters. Pinkie Pie has always been different from her family who weren't as hyperactive as she was. She would usually be planning parties or talking to narrators and the like. The rest of her family were quite content on working on a rock farm. Pinkie Pie, however, never was that satisfied. Yeah, they visited a lot of places, but Pinkie Pie could never get enough of being outside of the rock farm. Pinkie Pie's Parents, Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz noticed this and thought it would be good for Pinkie Pie to experience more life outside of the rock farm. So, they decided that she should live with their good friends: Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Igneous Rock agreed for Pinkie Pie to stay with them and attend Canterlot High School at freshman year if she worked there for rent which was no trouble to Pinkie Pie at all as she loved sweets. So now she lives with the Cakes; including their babies, Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake. So, yeah! Life was sweet! Mr. and Mrs. Cake seemed fine with her wrestling but her parents were not told about it yet. Then again Pinkie Pie probably should have told them earlier but what are the odds that that's going to come back and bite her in the butt, right?
"So…how was the tournament?" Mrs. Cake asked.
"I lost to Rarity." admitted Pinkie.
Mr. Cake cringed at the memory of Rarity attacking a pickpocket. "Ooh. Sorry, Pinkie." Mr. Cake said with sympathy.
Pinkie did not sway. "It's okay Mr. Cake! I'm just glad I tried!"
"That's the spirit, Pinkie Pie!" Mr. Cake said with awkward optimism. He never was good at cheering for people. Especially not as good as Pinkie Pie.
"Does this mean you'll not be in here on Saturday's then, Pinkie Pie?" Mrs. Cake asked.
"Either that or on Sundays and/or Fridays. I'm not sure, but don't you worry! I'll make more time for Sugarcube Corner!" Pinkie assured.
Mrs. Cake nodded in approval. "I'm glad to hear that."
Pinkie Pie looked around. "Where are Pumpkin and Pound Cake? I wanna give them a raspberry before I go to bed!"
"They're upstairs. Can you do me a favor and tuck them in for me, please?" Cup Cake asked politely.
"Okey dokey!" Pinkie Pie said as she walked past the counter and went up the stairs. Pinkie Pie walked to the top of the stairs and walked down the hall. Pinkie Pie then entered Pumpkin and Pound Cake's room to see that they were playing with their stuffed animals.
"Awww! Are you playing?! I wanna play too!" Pinkie Pie cooed as Pumpkin and Pound Cake looked up at Pinkie Pie and giggled.
"Just kidding! You two have to go beddy bye, and your best friend Pinkie Winkie is gonna tuck you in!" Pinkie Pie cooed as she grabbed the two babies with both arms and carries them to their crib. Pinkie Pie then proceeded to pick up Pound Cake and hold him in the air.
"Come here, Pound Cake! I wanna know what you taste like!" Pinkie Pie then proceeded to put her lips on pound Cake's belly and blow a raspberry which caused Pound Cake to giggle wildly. Pinkie Pie then pulled back and put the still giggling Pound Cake and then picked up pumpkin Cake to do the same thing with the same results of giggling. Pinkie Pie then put Pumpkin Cake back into the crib.
"You guys sure are stinky aren't you? Well, it's time to go night night!" Pinkie Pie cooed as she laid them down and tucked them under the covers. Pinkie Pie then gave them both a kiss on the forehead before walking to the door.
"Goodnight! Auntie Pinkie loves you!" Pinkie Pie whispers loudly before turning off the lights and closing the door. Pinkie Pie then goes off down the hallway toward her room when she suddenly remembered something important.
"Applejack owes me some chocolate!"
Rarity's abode
Rarity walked along the sidewalk with her duffle bag toted over her shoulder as she came closer to Carousel Boutique. Carousel Boutique was a dress shop that Rarity, herself, owned. Strange that she would have her own business at such a young age, right? Well, this wasn't originally her shop. It belonged to her parents for a short time before they gave it to her. The shop wasn't that hard to manage on her own as she usually made the dresses and sold them for a good price. This way, she could pay the bills and still have a good bit for herself. Carousel Boutique didn't have MANY customers, but they did have a relatively fair amount. She enjoyed making dresses, so the job she has was really great! It was closed on the weekends, so Rarity is able to attend her wrestling matches with the others without difficulty. Rarity then turned a corner and made it to Carousel Boutique. Carousel Boutique was a cylindrical, two-story building that resembled something similar to an actual carousel except the poles have small statues of dresses instead of riding horses. It was mainly white with a cone-shaped, blue tiled roof. The outside was decorated with a lot of woodwork and a sign that said Carousel Boutique. Rarity entered the front door of the shop. A ringing from the bell went off as she entered the shop which was lined with dresses and models for dresses. There was a cash register and a counter in the back along with a podium that showed her latest designs and three fitting rooms. This was where she would work the register and assist customers with their choices. Rarity then heard voices from the back of the store.
"So, I flip it like this?"
"No! Not that high, Sweetie Belle! "
Rarity rolled her eyes. Her parents were here. Rarity made it to the back of the room and proceeded toward a locked door that was hidden in the back of the shop. Rarity lived in the back of the shop with a kitchen and a small living room in the back. Rarity unlocked the door and went through a small hallway that leads to a door. Rarity opened the door and entered the kitchen to see her father, Hondo Flanks, sitting at the table and her mother, Cookie Crumbles, teaching her little sister, Sweetie Belle, how to cook eggs and…with obviously mixed results.
Hondo Flanks looked up at Rarity and removes his black shades. "Well, lookie who's here! There's my little diva!" Hondo Flanks said walking up to his daughter and embraced her in a hug. Hondo Flanks was a tall, beefy man with dark brown hair that matched his dark brown mustache and his somewhat bushy dark brown eyebrows above his light blue eyes. His fashion sense was rather questionable though. He usually wears a straw sombrero-like hat on his head and he was also wearing his blue short-sleeved tourist shirt that had an arrangement of colorful flowers on it. He also wore khaki shorts and sandals.
Cookie Crumbles left Sweetie Belle to the eggs while she went to embrace her daughter. "Good to see you again, sweetheart!" Cookie Crumbles was smaller and a bit pudgier than her husband but had the same tourist like appearance about her. She had light blue eyes and dark purple hair like her daughter's but it was pulled up into a large, lemon shaped, hairstyle and had a teal tennis cap at the base. She also leg tight white pants and emerald embezzled sandals. To say that they had strange tastes in fashion was an understatement when they often dressed like every day is a vacation. This is especially, when they are usually traveling for work purposes.
Hondo Flanks released her daughter from the embrace. "So, were ya in that tournament of yours? Let me guess…You won!" Hondo Flanks said with enthusiasm. Hondo Flanks was always the enthusiastic type, especially when it came to sports. He was a sports enthusiast who worked as an assistant to managers of sport related events. Mostly football and wrestling. Rarity used to find her father's enthusiasm about sports annoying until Rarity became interested in professional wrestling. They now have something they can talk about now but she still insists on doing such things in a lady-like manner.
"Well, actually I-
Rarity was interrupted by the eggs in Sweetie Belle's pan bursting into flames.
"Ah!" Sweetie Belle screamed in surprised.
Cookie Crumbles sprinted to the fire extinguisher and used to put out the fire.
Cookie Crumbles looked back and let out a sigh of relief before addressing Rarity. "Sorry about that, Rarity. I've been trying to teach Sweetie Belle how to cook...again." Cookie Crumbles worked as a chef that traveled around to assist restaurants in cooking. She also taught Rarity how to cook with great results. Sweetie Belle on the other hand…well, let's just say that Cookie Crumble's dash for a fire extinguisher became an instinctual reflex.
Sweetie Belle looked down in disappointment. "Sorry."
Cookie Crumble's hugged her daughter and patted her head. "It's okay dearie. We all make mistakes." She said comforting her daughter.
Normally, Rarity would be angry with her little sister, but since Sweetie Belle lives with her she's used to nearly having her home burned down. She has the Canterlot fire department on speed dial. Regardless, Rarity continued on to explain how the tournament went and her loss in the three-way match.
Cookie gave her daughter an "I don't know what to tell you" face. "Well, that's a shame."
Hondo Flanks nodded in agreement. "It is, but YOU made it to the three-way match though! That's not to be taken likely!" Hondo Flanks said in an attempt at cheering her up.
Rarity seemed to perk up. "Thank you."
Hondo then started to ramble on. "This kinda reminds me of that match between Danger Zone, War Head, and Smash Drop. There was this three-way match between the three in which the other got a chair from the stands and started to…"
Rarity stood there as Hondo Flanks began to reminisce his sports stories. Rarity liked wrestling, but her father's stories would take forever! Rarity also had something to do. Rarity coughed loudly to get Hondo Flanks attention.
"Yes, honey?" Hondo asked.
"I actually have to go to my room and do something if you don't mind, father?" Rarity asked.
"Go on ahead." Hondo Flanks consented.
"Thank you." And with that Rarity went to the stairwell that leads to the second story of the boutique and hers and Sweetie belle's respective rooms. Rarity's room is where she makes most of her dresses and designs. Rarity entered her room and put her duffle bag on her bed. Rarity then opened her duffel bag and pulled out her wrestling trunks. Rarity was going to see if the material was damaged before she ever used it again.
"Hey, Rarity!" called a squeaky voice. Rarity turned to see that Sweetie Belle was at her doorway. Sweetie Belle was wearing her regular attire (See Equestria Girls or EG: Rainbow Rocks). She had her curly grayish mulberry and pale rose colored hair and her more noticeable harlequin green eyes which were different from the rest of her family's eye colors.
"What is it, Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked her little sister in a rather tired voice.
Sweetie bell put her hands behind her back and drew circles in the floor with her foot. "Mom told me to stay up here with you while she's extinguishing the milk in your fridge." Sweetie Belle said nervous about Rarity's reaction.
Rarity let out a tired sigh. "I'm going to regret asking this, but what did you do to set my milk on fire?"
"I was trying to make cereal." said the innocent looking little girl.
Rarity face palmed. "Of course. Only Sweetie Belle would be able to burn cereal." Rarity thought with a wry smile.
"Don't fret about it, Sweetie Belle. I'm pretty sure that milk was going to expire anyway." Rarity said absentmindedly as she inspected her wrestling trunks.
Sweetie Belle walked over to Rarity's bed to see what she was doing. "Hey, Rarity? What's with the sparkly underwear?" Sweetie Belle asked innocently.
Rarity looked at Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie Belle, this is not underwear. This is the bottom part of my wrestling attire." Rarity corrected.
"Then why does it look like a pair of undies?" Sweetie Belle asked again.
"They may seem like undergarments; however the material is different because it's used by wrestlers for flexibility. See? Feel." Rarity said holding it out for Sweetie Belle to touch. Sweetie reached over to feel the material of the wrestling trunks against her fingertips. After a few seconds of feeling the material, she released her hold.
"Wow!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed with excitement.
"You see?"
"That's some pretty nice feeling undies!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in awe.
"Sweetie Belle. Darling. Get out of my room."
Rainbow's crib
Rainbow Dash walked down the street with confidence as she made her way toward the blue, one story house with a large duffel bag in tow. The house had an ill cut lawn in front with a concrete driveway that lead to a garage with a red mustang inside it. The house had two bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, and a basement. The house had a black triangular roof and a couple of windows. There was another smaller concrete pathway that leads from the driveway to the front door. The house had an ill cut lawn in front, but the backyard had a tall picket fence that hid the it well, so she uses the backyard trampoline for practice. Rainbow Dash walked up the path and opened the door to her house.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash! What took you so long?! Rainbowshine's match started five minutes ago!" yelled a voice from the living room.
"Coming, Blaze!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she dropped her bag to sprint down the hallway and into the living room. Rainbow Dash jumped over the back of the couch and onto its cushions next to her foster parent, Rainbow Blaze. Rainbow Blaze was a tall and well built man in his late twenties who had the same rainbow colored hair but shorter and had hazel eyes. He was wearing a grey t-shirt that showed the outline of his musculature, torn blue jeans, and brown loafers.
"How's she doing?" Rainbow Dash asked staring at the television.
"Pretty good so far." Rainbow Blaze responded.
Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Blaze watched Rainbowshine's match with crossed fingers. Rainbowshine had crimson eyes similar to Rainbow Dash's but she had somewhat bushy, long light purple hair instead of rainbow colored hair. She was wearing her wrestling attire which composed of a lavender sports bra like top and dark purple long tights and black boots. She was connecting a Roundhouse kick to another female wrestler named Slipstream. Slipstream had short, yellow hair and had on wrestling attire that consisted of a similar sports bra like top but with a light green color. She also had on light green wrestling trunks that showed a little bit of her buttocks and wore black knee pads along with yellow boots. As Slipstream fell backwards onto the mat, Rainbowshine jumped across her chest and covers her.
*Commentator 1: "And Rainbowshine connects a Roundhouse onto Slipstream!"*
*Commentator 2: "Rainbowshine's going for the cover!"*
*Ref: "1!...2!...KICKOUT!"*
"Darn it! So close!" Rainbow Dash exclaims in frustration.
"Come on baby! You can do it!" Rainbow Blaze yelled at the television hoping that his wife would here his cheers.
Both Rainbow Blaze and Rainbowshine were Rainbow Dash's foster parents. She never knew her real parents, but that didn't matter as Rainbow Blaze and Rainbowshine were the coolest people she had ever known. They adopted her when she was twelve and living at a children's service center. The day they came into her life was like it was meant to be! I mean, what were the odds that all of their names would start with rainbow let alone be interested in the same spot! Rainbowshine was a professional wrestler and Rainbow Blaze would often act as her trainer along with coaching other sports. He's usually off somewhere for his job so Rainbow Dash would often be alone at home, but her foster parents trust her to be able to take care of herself. When they both heard about this wrestling thing she was doing with her friends, they were both delighted. Rainbow Blaze wanted to ask Rainbow Dash how the tournament went, but he was too busy rooting for his wife.
Rainbowshine was going to connect a Clothesline on Slipstream, but Slipstream dodged at the last second to deliver a Superkick to Rainbowshine's chin which caused her eyes to roll back as she slumped forward onto the mat. Slipstream then dropped to her knees to flip Rainbowshine onto her back, press her right hand on Rainbowshine's left shoulder and hook her left leg with her left arm for a pin.
"Come on Rainbowshine! Kick out!" Rainbow Dash yelled at the TV.
*Commentator 2: "Slipstream hooks the leg! This could be it!"*
*Ref: "1!...2!...3!"*
*Commentator 1: "And it's over! The winner of this match is Slipstream!"*
"AWE, COME ON!" Rainbow Dash yelled in frustration. Rainbowshine had lost her last three matches and this defeat makes four. She was in a bit of a slump in her career right now, but Rainbow Dash couldn't help but rage. Rainbow Blaze put his face in his hands in equal frustration.
"Why has she been losing so much, lately?!" Rainbow Dash raged.
"She's been having some trouble with other stuff, lately. Cut her some slack, Dash." Rainbow Blaze said. Because all of their names started with rainbow they would say the second part of their names instead.
"Sorry." Rainbow Dash apologized with a sad look on her face.
R. Blaze waved his hand and held his fist out to her daughter. "It's cool."
Rainbow Dash smiled as she bumped the fist of her father. After a minute of silence, Rainbow Blaze asked the question he was supposed to have asked earlier.
"So how'd the tournament go?" Like he needed to ask.
Rainbow Dash put her hands on her hips and gave him a look that made it sound like he asked the most stupid question in the world. She then proceeded back to the hallway to pick up the duffel bag and throw it on the couch. Rainbow Dash then smiled as she unzipped it and placed both of her hands in it.
"You ready for this?" Rainbow said with gleeful anticipation.
Rainbow Blaze smirked with interest in seein the belt. "Well don't hold me in suspense here! Show me!"
Rainbow: "Alright then…BAM!" Rainbow Dash quickly pulled out the Canterlot Diva's Central Championship belt out of the bag and held it up above her head for Rainbow Blaze to see.
Rainbow Blazed whistled in admiration at the belt. "Damn, bro! That's some nice blingage!"
Rainbow Dash smiled as she held her head up. "I know. But do you know what makes this bad boy look even better?"
The coach shrugged. "I have no Idea."
Rainbow Dash then lowered the belt and put it around her waist to buckle it. "Me wearing it!" Rainbow Dash proudly announced with much gusto.
Rainbow Blaze nodded his head as he stroked his chin, impressed. "Wow. You're right. That looks pretty boss on you." he complimented.
"I know, right?!" Rainbow Dash boasted as she began twisting her body into various poses as if she were having her picture taken in a photo shoot.
Rainbow Blaze laughed as he got up to embrace hug Rainbow Dash who returned it. "Real proud of ya, champ." Rainbow Blaze then broke the hug to put out his fist again.
"Thanks coach." Rainbow Dash said as she bumped his fist.
Rainbow Blaze suddenly got excited as he held up his finger. "Hey! You know what a champ gets right?" Rainbow Blaze asked to the confused Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Blaze then went to the refrigerator to grab a slice of pizza and show it to Rainbow Dash.
"The very LAST slice of pizza!" Rainbow Blaze said presenting her prize. However, Rainbow Dash held up her hand and pushed it away from her face.
"Sorry man! I'm too tired for food." Rainbow Dash said with her hand against the side of her head.
Rainbow Blaze shrugged. "Suit yourself." Rainbow Blaze said as he ate the last piece of pizza.
While he was doing that, Rainbow Dash was already heading for her room. Rainbow Dash opened the door to her room and kicked off her shoes leaving only the socks on. Rainbow Dash didn't really feel like changing into her night clothes so she decided to screw it and sleep with her clothes on. Rainbow Dash unbuckled the belt and put it gently onto her bed. Rainbow Dash then covered up the belt with a blanket before kissing it goodnight and crawling beside it o fall into a deep sleep unaware that Rainbow Rlaze was watching her the entire time.
Rainbow Blaze turned off the lights in Rainbow Dash's room. He looked to see that Rainbow Dash was cuddling the belt as she slept.
"Okay…that's only KINDA creepy." Rainbow Blaze whispered to himself as he slowly closed the door.
