I updated the previous chapter to make Rarity not seem so mean and to put a reference to Sweet and Elite.

Setting Things Straight

Chapter Six: Allies

The sky was getting lighter, but it was still not morning yet. Spike felt betrayed by how Rarity couldn't accept Prince Blueblood for being gay. He wanted to help him get accepted, but he didn't want to choose sides between his friends. Not knowing what else to do, he continued his stroll. Soon, he came across a pond. By it's shore, he sat down and thought about things. Just then, a rainbow appeared in front of him for a split second.

"Rainbow Dash?" an astounded Spike said. "What are you doing up so early as well?"

"I always get up at this time to practice my moves!" Rainbow Dash told him. "What are you doing up this early?"

"Oh, just minding my business."

"It's odd for you to just mind your business at a time like this."

Spike stayed silent for a bit before saying, "Oh, there is something, but I don't think that you will take it too well. I know that Twilight and Rarity didn't..."

"What did you do? Did you invade Rarity's home, steal some cupcakes, or read one of those books Twilight doesn't want you to read?"

"I didn't do any of those things, and besides, I'm not telling you."

"But I'm just curious!"

"I really want to trust you, but since Twilight and Rarity didn't respond too well, I don't think you will either."

"What? Me? I'm a lot more open minded than those two. I promise that I won't get mad."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Well, Princess Celestia sent a letter to Twilight telling her to have Prince Blueblood stay with us."

"Oh! You did something to get back at him then!"

"That was what I tried to do at first. When I tried to ruin supper for him, I somehow made it better."

"It's too bad that you screwed up your attempt to screw him up."

"Moving on ahead... We all went to sleep later that night. However, I noticed that he woke up and left the library. I followed him to Sweet Apple Acres and-"

"Even though Prince Blueblood is totally lame, he must be determined to go over there and complain about apples."

"Actually, that wasn't what he was going to do."

"What did he do then?"

"He told me about himself. It turns out that he was a douche bag, because he didn't want to hang out with mares at the Gala. Prince Blueblood is gay, and when he told Twilight, she decided to start on making a spell that will make him straight."

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash tensed up. "I'm afraid that I can't keep my promise."

"I knew that you wouldn't take it well..."

"How could Twilight even think of doing something like that?"

Spike now felt reassured. "That isn't all. Rarity said that she would help Twilight, and she didn't want me to accept him for being gay. Even though she's my favorite pony, I can't let down Blueblood after he trusted me so much."

"That was mean of her to not let you even accept somepony for being gay."

"Well, it's nice to meet another pony who accepts Blueblood for who he is. Applejack and Big McIntosh are fine with him being gay as well."

"I'm glad that it's not just us who are fighting for the right thing."

"I'm wondering... do you know someone else who is gay?"

"I do. Blossomforth, who I befriended even before I met Fluttershy, is a lesbian and she was born in Cloudsdale like me."

"But Cloudsdale is in Equestria, so wouldn't that make her Equestrian?"

"By lesbian, I mean a girl who's gay."

"Oh!"

"We were together until her family made her move away. After that, we stayed in contact with letters. She told me her sexuality in one of her letters and I pledged to help those who were gay to be accepted for who they are. It isn't fair for them to be treated like dirt because of their sexuality."

"What can we do about the spell that Twilight and Rarity are making?"

"We'll let them know that they're out of their heads. Having Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie on our side would make things a lot easier."

"But we don't know what Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy will say."

"We should try anyways. Get on my back and I'll fly you to Fluttershy's!"

"Well, it beats doing nothing," Spike muttered as he got on Rainbow Dash's back. Her body felt comforting on him.

"Hold on tight!" Right after Spike grabbed hold of her, Rainbow Dash darted off for Fluttershy's home.

Once Spike was no longer afraid he would fall off, he told Rainbow Dash, "You know, I don't find it so bad after a while."

"You get used to it." In a moment, Rainbow Dash landed in front of Fluttershy's house. She knocked. "Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash continued to knock and say Fluttershy's name until the timid pegasis opened the door.

Fluttershy said, "Hi Rainbow Dash. Hi Spike. What are you two doing up so early?"

"I want to talk to you about Prince Blueblood."

"Him? I- I don't really like him that much..."

Spike told her, "I know that he was a royal, pun not intended, pain in the tail to Rarity at the Grand Galloping Gala, but he's not so bad once you get to know him."

"I can tell that you are trying to be optimistic Spike, but I still don't like Prince Blueblood."

"Prince Blueblood really isn't so bad," Rainbow Dash stated. "He's gay and he was only acting like a jerk to make himself unattractive to mares."

"Oh, that's good to hear. May I please get back to sleep if that's all?"

"Twilight and Rarity are working together to make a spell that will make gay ponies straight!"

"That's terrible! We should ask them to stop."

"That's exactly why we're here. We know that Applejack and Big McIntosh also support gay rights, but we don't know about Pinkie Pie yet. What about you come with us?"

"Alright, I will."

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Spike then headed to Sugercube Corner. The blue pegasis was about to fly up to the cupcake-shaped structure on top, but she was stopped by the voice of a certain pink pony.

"Hey Rainbow Dash! What are you doing up there? Don't you want to come on down and talk to me?"

Rainbow Dash looked around until she realized that Pinkie Pie made her way over to where Spike and Fluttershy were. "I didn't notice you down there until now..."

"We didn't either," Spike said.

Pinkie Pie explained, "Oh, I just couldn't stay asleep no matter how hard I tried, so I decided to go out for a stroll and that was when I came across you three. I might of ate too many sweets. By the way, are you three planning something super special?"

"Actually, we are. You see, Prince Blueblood just arrived in Ponyville yesterday.
"You want me to throw a party for him then! I can do that."

"That wasn't what I was going to say..."

"Then what were you going to say? I would like to know."

"Well, I found out that Blueblood isn't such a jerk after all. It turns out that he's gay and he acts mean towards mares if he finds that they're attracted to him."

"If he's gay, then that means he likes men. And if he likes men, then that means he needs a boyfriend!"

"I don't think that you'll have to worry about that. Big McIntosh is bisexual and he's going to date Prince Blueblood."

"That's terrific!"

"But at this very moment, Twilight and Rarity are trying to make a spell that will make them straight!" Rainbow Dash blurted out.

"That's terrible! We should tell them to accept ponies that are gay."

"It's good that you're in, Pinkie Pie! Now it's time for us to go to Applejack's."

Spike asked, "Won't you have to go slower than before, since Pinkie can't fly?"

"Don't worry one bit, Spike," Pinkie Pie reassured. "I always catch up to Rainbow Dash!"

"She sure does..." Rainbow Dash commented.

Soon, the four were in front of the Apple family's house. Spike knocked on the door and Applejack opened it. "Hey Applejack."

"Did you bring Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie for the reason I presume?" she asked.

"I am sure that I did." Spike explained why he brought the other ponies with him.

"Then I'll get Big McIntosh and Prince Blueblood to come with us. Just wait right here." Applejack went back in and returned with the two stallions.

"Please don't be mean to any of us..." Fluttershy muttered. "We're on your side."

"You are a lot nicer than what I got from my first impression of you," Prince Blueblood told her.

"You are too. Rainbow Dash told me that you weren't acting polite at the Grand Galloping Gala, because you are gay and you didn't want to be with any mares."

"Big McIntosh told me that you went psycho at the Grand Galloping Gala, because your day wasn't so good."

"Please don't bring that up..."

"Sorry..."

"So, ready to go now?" Rainbow Dash asked the others.

Everypony else and Spike told her that they were ready. They then left to head to Twilight's home.

In response to a review asking why I changed it to M, it was because of Rarity's screams of pleasure and talk of facials. The lingerie was just for fan service.
