NOW…..ONTO THE STORY!

As I turned, I saw Spitfire grinning. Her face had scars and stained blood across the right side. Her lip was semi swollen and her arm was in a splint.

"What do you want?" I stepped forward, anger filled inside as I clenched my fists.

"Just to congratulate our team on championships. Listen…" She looked down, her smile erased. "I'm sorry. Gilda wanted to do all of that, and I followed."

At first I didn't believe her, but saw the guilt in her eyes as they filled with tears. This surprised me since she never cried.

"I just wanted to say I was sorry." She turned and walked to her car, wincing as she turned the key.

The car peeled out of the parking lot and drove slowly away. I stood there, feeling regret and sorrow as I turned to my friends.

"Rainbow, what's that all about?" Rarity walked up with a bedazzled banner and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

"Nothin'.." I mumbled, walking with her over back to the group.

"Hey y'all, let's hear it for The Wonderbolts!" Applejack shouted.

I heard the field start to rumble as the crowd began to cheer for our team. My friends seemed like the happiest people live.

"NOW LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie shot up, shooting confetti from her hands.

We all piled into Twilight's Prius and left the school. I've never liked the car. It was bulky, clean, and smelled of lemon pledge. It rode weird and made us look funny.

"So, where shall we go?" Twilight looked at us through the rearview mirror.

"How's about my place?" Pinkie shot up in her seat but was restricted by the seat belt to go further, but continued to talk. "Why do we call it place? Why not house? It is a house..or a buildingoraapartmentorabakeryor…"

"PINKIE!" Everyone simultaneously shouted, looking her way.

"Sounds like a grand plan Pinkie." Applejack looked over, smiling.

The car pulled into the parking space in front of sugar cube corner. We all filed out of the car, heading to the door.

"The Cakes are gone with there kids on a cruise, so we'll have the place to ourselves." Pinkie whipped around, jumping up and down.

She unlocked the door as we shuffled into the store.

"You guys head up, I gotta grab some…...stuff…" Pinkie went behind the counter as the group bounded up the stairs.

"I wonder what she's grabbing." Twilight entered the room first, resting her sign on the ground.

I shortly followed, plopping onto the couch, resting after a long day of running. Applejack sat next to me, taking her stetson off and placing it on the middle cushion of the couch. Everyone filled the large open room as we got situated. My eyes began to feel heavy, but were shot up by the sound of Pinkie's feet on the stairs.

"NOW WE GOT SOME ALCOHOL UP IN THIS BITCH!" Pinkie came running in with Jack Daniels, vodka, rum..You name it, she had it. "The Cakes sometimes cook with this shit, so they won't mind." She flew into the room, stepping behind her mini bar, and began setting up cups, shot glasses, and bottles, organizing them in her own way.

"Well we haven't had alcohol in ages!" Rarity rushed to the bar, pulling up a stool and signaling for a shot. "Who will dare challenge the fabulous RARITY!?" She shouted, looking peppy as she raised her full shot glass.

"You are on Rarity." Twilight made her way to the bar.

They gean tipping back shots back and forth, looking dizzier with each knock. Twilight lifted what seemed to be her last shot. Her face flushed as she set it on the table, and tipped backward. Fluttershy rushed over and caught her before she hit the ground. She dragged Twilight to the vacant seat across the room, handing her a trash can incase she blew chunks.

"You *Hick* quiter!" Rarity glanced over to Twilight with half closed eyes.

Her body began to form goosebumps as she threw up onto the ground, barely missing the couch I was on.

"OH MY-hep-GOD" She searched her clothes for barf as she ran off to the bathroom.

"WHOOOOSS NEXT?!" Pinkie jumped, spilling some vodka onto the ground.

"Alright AJ, let's do it." I glanced to Applejack who smiled.

"You're goin' down RD.." She walked to the stools, pulling one under her legs.

I was probably going to lose. I wasn't much of a drinker since I was so fit. Last time, I had three shots and hit the floor. I stood, making my way to the empty stool at the bar.

Pinkie gave us our first round. I looked at Applejack when I got mine, but she had already swigged it down.

"You gotta do better than that Rainbow!" She laughed, looking over at my still full shot.

I knocked back my head as I felt the stinging drink run down my throat.

This went on for another ten shots. The room seemed to spin as I picked up my eleventh, squinting to see it better. I looked over at Applejack who was barely fazed by the alcohol consumption. Sickened, I tilted my head back, but blacked out, knocking against the floor.

"Hehe. Rainbow, drinking was never truly your strength." AJ looked down at my limp body as everything went dark.

I woke up on the couch to lasers and music, which shook the entire apartment. The group was dancing in the middle. It seemed all of them were drunk. I was searching around the room for Applejack, only to see her kissing Pinkie Pie. A cold feel rushed through my body as the bass dropped. They were really going at it and not holding back. I stood and pulled out my phone. I snapped some pictures before exiting the room. I ran down the stairs as anger filled my system.I kicked the door open and stepped out, surprised to see Soarin standing there with flowers.

"Oh, hey Rainbow…."He looked up, his face blushing.

"What are you doing' here Soarin?" I hid my rage with a smile as I sat on the step.

"Well.." He joined me on the step, resting the flowers off to the side. "I came here to see if you were over. I heard music and thought you guys were having a celebration….."

"Why would you want to see me?" I looked over, fiddling with a rock I picked up from the ground.

He let out a sigh as he continued. "I just wanted to ask if you were still available for the fall festival tonight…" His face burnt red as he rested it on his hands, looking up to the cloud covered sky.

"I thought you were with Pinkie?" I looked over across the street at some pigeons flying.

"Well she said she'd help me find one, not go with me." He sighed again as he blocked his eyes with his hands.

"Oh… Well I might as well go seeing that my date was stolen…" I looked over smirking.

"Are you serious?!" He jumped, grabbing the flowers.

"Ya...I will go with you." I looked up to see his face fill with color.

After we talked a little more, I made my way upstairs, to see that everyone had hit the ground hard from the alcohol. I looked over to see Pinkie and Applejack cradling as they slept. Anger filled me, but I didn't want to hurt Pinkie. I took out my phone and snapped a few photos of them. The music was still blasting, so I turned it off and went to wake everyone up.

Rarity was first. I knelt down and shook her shoulder, but was shot back by her uproar. "DON'T TOUCH THE DIAMONDS, NOT THE DIAMONDS!. Oh, Rainbow, hi. How long have we been out?"

"Only a half hour. We have to go, the festival starts in a few hours."

I helped her to her feet and went to the others to wake them up, but due to Rarity's uproar, they seemed wide awake.

"Ugh….I feel like crap." AJ sat up and brushed her hair off to the side.

"Ya, you should." I walked over to the couch, and grabbed her hat. Glancing over, I shot it toward her, hitting her face.

"What was that fo'?" Applejack stood up, brushing off her jeans.

"That was for breaking my heart." I looked at her, my eyes filled with tears.

"What in the hey are ya talkin' 'bout?!" She walked over to me, but was cut off by my phone being thrown toward her.

She caught it, looking at me with a question. "Open it…" I looked away, glancing out the window, watching clouds roll in.

Applejack proceeded to unlock my phone, only to see pictures of her and Pinkie Pie.

"No...No. Rainbow, we were drunk. That was just the alcohol!" She glanced over with tears running down her face.

"I'm sure it was. And I also said yes to Soarin, we talked outside." Not turnin, I heard Applejack scoff as she leaned against the wall closest to her.

"Rainbow….please….don't." She began to quietly sob.

"It's too late for that. I'm already going with Soarin."

"What is this all about?" Twilight walked over.

"Nothin'..." Applejack looked down and walked out of the room.

The late afternoon was dark as I waited outside for Soarin to pick me up. He was supposed to be here at 7:00, and it was nearing 7:05. I stood, turning for the door, but stopped when I heard the sound of a throttley engine pull in. Soarin was driving a brand new shelby mustang his parents got him as a long distance gift for his birthday. He shut the car off and made his way up the steps. Soarin was dressed in slacks and a silver button up shirt that wasn't tucked in. I had to wear this dress Rarity made me, so I looked too snazzy.

"Damn Rainbow, semi formal means semi formal…" He laughed, stopping next to me.

"Hold on.." I proceeded to rip off my flowers and the bottom part off my dress. "There, better." I smirked. The dress now looked semi formal, or I looked like I got mugged.

I walked down and stepped into the car, followed by Soarin. He put the keys in the ignition, turning on the car. The throttle shook me as he slapped the stick into first. It rumbled down the street as we made our way to the festival.

The mustang roared into the school's main parking lot. Everyone turned and started to cheer. I blushed as Soarin opened my door smiling at me.

"Well here we go…" I mumbled under my breath as I stepped from the car.

Walking up the steps, I was met with high fives and fist bumps. Everyone was really happy,...except for me. We entered the large gym doors and made our way to the full basketball court. The gym was dark, except for the lasers and strobe lights. I looked to see Vinyl Scratch bouncing and pumping her fist, vibrating the whole gym. Octavia was off to the side, reading a book with ear plugs in.

"Holy shit it's loud." Soarin stepped in smiling.

I couldn't really hear the next part but I believe he said something about getting punch, so I just nodded.

Comotion stirred outside as people crowded the front steps. I looked over to see Applejack with Snails. This completely shocked me. They walked in, but only Snails was smiling. Applejack was having her dose of alcohol as she walked in, wobbling on her feet.

"Uhhh, Applejack? Are you gonna be ok?" Snails leaned over.

"I'll-be-fine." Applejack assured, downing another gulp from her worn flask. Between each word, she stopped to do a silent hiccup.

"Alright, I'm gonna go grab some punch…" Snails made his way over to the table.

After he left, Applejack looked up and threw the flask off to the side. It was clear she wasn't drunk at all as she let out a sigh and mumbled under her breath. "Only a dance AJ, only a dance…"

She looked up and saw me staring at her, and walked over. Before I could talk, she covered my mouth and dragged me out the doors that led to the hallway.

Applejack threw me through the doorway, making me stumble under my feet as I regained balance. She slammed the door, placing a broom stick into the handles so no one would interrupt.

"Rainbow, listen…" She walked over, taking off her hat. "I'm sorry. Whatever you saw, I wasn't thinking then. Pinkie pulled me in, it wasn't my fault." Her eyes filled with tears.

"Applejack. You did what you did. But if we make up now, our 'dates' will be hung out to dry. And how do I know you're not lyin'?" I looked up to see her put her head down.

"Rainbow. I still love you. I'm truly sorry and never want to hurt you. Snails is not my type at all, so I faked being drunk."

"Ya, I could tell….."

"After the dance, we should talk…" Applejack looked over while removing the broom. "We need to fix this…"

After Vinyl had her fun, Octavia slapped in slow music, laughing as Vinyl pulled her to the dance floor. Soarin followed as I too entered the dance floor.

"So can you dance?" I looked over to him as our bodies met on the dance floor.

"A little…" He smirked, swinging me around and bringing me closer.

The music started slow but Vinyl ran over and flipped in Bohemian Rhapsody. Everyone cheered as they broke apart and started jumping up and down, singing along. I looked over and saw Applejack jumping on her toes, looking bored to hell.

"Hey Soarin, I'll be right back.."

I walked over to see AJ staring at me, motioning over.

"Hey Rainbow, Pinkie says a party's goin' down at Rarity's place." She shouted over the music. "SO AFTER THIS SONG, EVERYONE IS HEADING OVER TO HER MANSION." I barely heard her over the music.

I was still mad at her, but didn't show it. I only nodded and finished the song with Soarin by my side. At the drop, Soarin turned to me with a smile. He leaned in and kissed me, and it surprisingly felt good since I haven't had action since the hospital.

The song finished strong as everyone exited the gym and hopped into their cars, driving for Rarity's. Soarin guided me to his mustang through the crowd of people. It scared them as he started it and revved the engine.

During the drive, he tapped the steering wheel and began humming the song in his mouth.

"Such a great finale song huh Rainbow." He looked over and flipped the stick into 3rd.

"Uhh, ya. Great time…" I couldn't think straight.

I didn't know what to think. Whether to believe Applejack and forgive her, or stand my ground and make her feel sorry.

"No one messes with me…" I mumbled looking out the window.

"What was that RD?" Soarin looked over with a smile.

"Nothin….."

The streets were packed outside of the gates to the mansion. Every space was filled, so I told Soarin to go up the drive.

"But all of them are filled…"

"Trust me."

He drove up and turned into the open garage. Rarity reserved spaces for all of us because we usually hung out at her house. We exited the car and entered through the main stairway where people crowded. The mansion was also packed as we entered the large, open entrance.

Everyone was grinding and flowing with the music. Vinyl was playing some more dubstep as people danced. I spotted Spitfire and Gilda off in the corner making out. That sickened me how they got in but I brushed to the back of my mind and stepped over to the mini bar. Pinkie was pouring alcohol like nobodies business as people downed shots left and right. It was a heated war between Bon Bon and Carrot top as they grabbed each shot right after the next. Carrot Top looked fuzzy before her next shot, and hit the ground before the glass touched her lips. Everyone helped her over to a chair as Bon Bon was congratulated.

"AAAANNNNND UP NEXT ISSSSS...RAINBOW DASH AND SPITFIRE!" Pinkie Pie shouted across the room.

Everyone, including Vinyl, stopped dancing and made their way over to the bar. Spitfire took a stool next to me, tearing off her brace.

"Hope you are not afraid to lose this time Rainbow Dash." She snickered, waving for a shot.

"Whatever…" I sat down and nodded to Pinkie for a shot.

The crowd started to count the shots that we consumed. It was the most alcohol I'd ever consumed. I heard the people shouting up to twenty, and this made me cringe. I glanced over pre-shot to see Spitfire wobbling back and forth, trying to stay up. I too felt wobbly lifting my soon to be last shot. I knocked it back but before setting it down, felt a hard knock on my head and darkness.

I awoke in a large bedroom. The walls were stuck with fabrics and drawers full of pins. It was Rarity's room. The alcohol head givin me slowed reactions, and I had a huge bandage on my head.

As my vision started to get used to the room, I glanced over to see Spitfire locking the door, grinning as she looked over.

"Let's talk…" She spoke slowly as she turned around.
