I hardly got any sleep last night, I was plotting several things that would happen to Braeburn today, and I don't think he will like it though.
Apples wasn't around for the early meeting we normally have for her practice so I used the time to tell some of my followers key roles they would have in shaming Braeburn. The first follower I told to spread rumors that call him a cheater and a liar. The second will get him in a fight. The last part of the plan is that I am going to pull many pranks on him.
As I was walking to student council I overheard many rumors and much gossip about Braeburn. Plan one going according to plan. I heard that he sleeps with the pigs at his house and that he cheats. When I entered the room of the council meeting I saw Rarity with a few of her gossipers, she was astonished, but then she whispered something in the gossipers' ears and they looked even more surprised.
After student council I watched as Braeburn fought somepony and lost. One of my followers claimed Braeburn started the fight. Plan two done. I entered english class feeling glorious. So far all my plans have been working. I saw Apples enter the class and she looked devastated.
I turned to Apples, to ask something but she just turned away. "Apples what is wrong?" I asked the back of her head. "Not now Rainbow, not now" was all Apples had to say. I ignored most of the class and just watched Apples, eventually she asked to be excused. Was Braeburn really that important to her? Well I will show him!
In art class I drew pictures of Braeburn that made him look stupid and terrible. After art I handed the pictures to my best followers, they would spread these fliers to all corners of the school. I entered the cafeteria and saw Braeburn sitting at a table near mine.
Guess I'm not hungry today because as I walked passed him I 'accidently' tripped and dumped my food all over him. There was never a better day for beef stew. At first he looked dumbfounded, then he looked to where I tripped to and asked "Are ya okay?". "Of course I am" I replied and just walked past him.
I sat next to Apples but she still wouldn't tell me what was wrong. Lunch went slowly due to nopony talking at our table. As Apples and I started towards the next class I walked another direction, there was a another prank to be pulled.
Braeburn was about to pass a corner, however he won't do that unpranked. I had a tripwire set and a thing of paste on the floor after it. I waited patiently, and then bam! He hit the floor hard. I looked around the corner to see his head stuck in the pale of paste. I laughed so hard that I actually coughed a little. Before Braeburnt could look at me I ran.
I walked into trig and long behold a gossiper was spreading something about Braeburn to Apples. She looked furious now. "Look ya'll, Braeburn would neva cheat on nopony! He's ma cousin, ah fer a fact that he is kind and if he does sleep with pigs its coz he is lettin somepony use his own bed! Ya'll know spit bout Braeburn!" Apples yelled.
Wow, look what I just dug into. "Now Rainbow, ah this is one of yer followers. Why would ya have er lie bout that?" Apples asked. She sounded hurt. "Apples I thought Braeburn was your boyfriend but when you got that letter yesterday you burst into tears so I thought he hurt you" I said. "Ah would neva date him Rainbow, an that's not why ah was sad" Apples said.
"Then why? Why are you depressed?" I asked. "Ah will tell ya after ya fix this mess ya created of Braeburn's reputation" Apples said. I gulped. That would take some work. I nodded my head in shame. I went to the gossiper and told her asked her to stop spreading rumors and to start telling others that it was all lies.
Class went very slowly after that. I suffered the glare that would only hurt if Apples gave it like she was now. I was writing a note of apology to Braeburn most of the class. I hate apologizing. But if it is what Apples wants then fine. After class I went in a different direction than Apples which may have thrown her off, but then she started following me.
I walked right up to Braeburn then handed him the note. "I uhh, well I thought you hurt Apples so I um, well I am sorry" I said. He laughed. "Well Dash, ya are just as noble as Applejack claims ya are, it is ok Dash, ya were working fer good reasons. Ah fergive ya" Braeburn said. I blinked. Just like that he forgave me? I completely didn't expect that. "Um, thanks" I said. Then I hugged him.
I noticed a few of my followers out of the corner of my eye, they seemed to start whispering something amongst themselves. I released Braeburn from the hug and walked over to them. "So whatcha talkin about?" I asked the followers. "Well, we saw you hugging Braeburn so we thought you were gonna ask him out or something" one of them declared.
"Sorry fillies, thats not the colt I'm after" I replied. "Then who?" Another follower asked. "Well, I will tell the name of the pony I am chasing after I ask the pony out" I said. With that I walked off to my next class. I saw Apples waiting outside the gym, she was probly ready to scold me. "Apples, I have done all that I can for now. Is there anything else you want?" I asked. "Na, not now Rainbow" She said. she walked into the gym.
I followed her into the gym. Today we got to play hoofball. We separated into teams and I was not on Apples team. Her side started with the ball. My team kicked off and she took the ball. She looked at me for a second, and I gave her a mischievous look. I took off after her, but she was fast! She past me, but seconds later I tackled her to the ground. She is fast, but I am Rainbow Dash!
We laid on the ground for a few seconds, but Apples wasn't moving. "Hey Jackie..." I started. "Don't ya dare finish that word" Apples grumbled. I only laughed. "I take that has you are ok" I said. I got off her and the game resumed. Gym went rather quickly.
After gym I declared that track was to do individual practice today, that meant everypony goes home and practices themselves. I used this to talk to Apples. "So Apples, now may I know what's been pestering you?" I asked. "Nah, ah don't feel like tellin ya Rainbow" Apples said.
"Aww come on Jackie, please?" I begged. "Fine Rainbow. Granny Smith passed away. She was ma granma" She said. Tears started welling up in her eyes. "Apples.. I am so sorry" I said. "Ya sure Rainbow? Cause ah think ya don't understand anythin" Apples argued. "I dead serious Applejack. Why would I kid about somepony dying?" I asked. "Um what did ya call me?" She asked. "I said Applejack" I replied. "Pardon me, ah didn' hear ya, could ya repeat that one more time?" She asked. "I said APPLEJACK!" I yelled. "Did you hear me that time?" I asked.
"Oh ah heard ya the first time, ah was just gettin ya ta say ma actual name" She giggled. "Oh haha, very funny" I said sarcastically. I walked her to her house, then returned to my own. What an exhausting day. But tomorrow will be even more.
