After the events of Equestria Girls.
---
As college begins for the Main 7, personal secrets pull the girls away from each other, and their friendship becomes a mere acquaintanceship.

One Saturday night for the seven friends presents them with what could have been, and they begin to fight to bring their friendship back to how it was at Canterlot High.

However, some secrets run too deep to ever be dug up, and their wrong decisions could not only put their friendships at risk, but themselves too.

This is an amazing story! What a great twist against the mlpeg series and showing another side to them, making them more realistic/human. Can't wait to read more!!

Thank you! I love all the characters and I loved the idea of bringing in hard to swallow real world problems into the story as the characters progress into adulthood. It's interesting to see sides of characters you wouldn't expect and it fleshes them out as proper humans much more.

The age gaps between the girls is neat, they’re usually perceived as the same age since they were in high school together but I can totally see why you made this choice, excited for chapter 6!

yess, I usually hc AJ and Fluttershy as the oldest ones and Pinkie and RD as the youngest. ofc bc this is in the eqg universe where they were in the same grade in the movies, the age gaps aren't too big. AJ is the oldest in this story along w sunset bc she had to repeat a year due to helping on the farm with her family. and with Sunset, I mean it's not really sensical making her the same age as the others seeing as shes older than pony twi. Idk if I'll write the rest of the ages into the story but I have a really fun little chart with all their ages and heights.

Given this fandom's track record for how its writers handle putting the Humane 7 in real-life scenarios, I am both intrigued and frightened of how this could end. :fluttercry:

“Oh relax, Ketchie, she didn’t betray you. She simply blabbered on and on about your magic powers. It was more stupidity than anything else. But it helped me figure out how to get them off you. It will be a long while before you see these again.” He softened then, sighing. “I admire your care for eachother, it’s something I've tried and failed to achieve in the Ratmakers. Sunset, I want you to know you aren’t prisoners. You can live normally under my gang, but you will be helping me change the course of the case. Once Night Light is demoted and the case closes again, you’ll be free to do whatever.” He watched Sunset, how she was taking it. “You have my word that the evidence will remain with me, and only me. Unless I have probable cause to release it.”

There are some Equestria Girls fanfics that lean more towards reality in terms of story telling. That, by itself, is fine. But, a few of those stories also get pretty dark, arguably too dark for the sake of being realistic.

Oh yes haha. I’m not the biggest fan of writing dark stories. This story is definitely more about healing through friendship and love than anything else. Id say Rainbows storyline with her dad is the darkest this story will get, and it won’t be anything too crazy haha

Pinkie, who seemed awfully quiet perked up, her eyes looking at another older message, “What does winky face, eggplant, splash mean?”

It's likely inappropriate Pinkie! :twilightoops:

She missed her friends so much, and missed their dates but somehow she also…didn't? No, she didn’t. Because she was afraid that if she got too close to them again, they’d realise how much of a different girl she had become. And she knew all too well that they had all been a little bit more closed off tonight, with Rainbow Dash in an odd hurry to get home before eleven, and Fluttershy all too willing to stay as late as possible. Of course the air was still heavy- Sunset and Twilight almost plastered on opposite sides of the group, and Pinkie much too quiet for anyone to have actually enjoyed themselves. The only one who seemed herself - at least to Rarity- was Applejack, but really, Rarity thought to herself, when was the last time Apple jack had seemed anything but serious. Probably before her parents’ funeral, Rarity thought. She wasn’t stupid. Her friends’ lives were as bland and lifeless as hers was. But despite tonight’s harsh atmosphere, she had never had so much fun. What was it about cracking lame jokes and catching up on small talk that made her feel so alive?

Applejack*

Rarity and the rest of the seven were lucky to be in the same university, excited to apply for the same ones when enrollment started, but she rarely saw any of them courtesy of her own degree, a bachelors in fashion design. Last year she had a few classes with Applejack and Pinkie, some introductory electives that allowed the three to enjoy eachothers company. But now as she enters her second year of university at nineteen, she’s left to face her classes with no one but herself.

A shame... :ajsleepy:

The rain had stopped a while ago and the road glimmered against the moon’s shine. A lone street lamp lit the two girls’ faces as they sat a while longer in a silence that either weren’t sure was comfortable or awkward. It led Fluttershy to think back to her time in highschool when conversation with Dash just seemed to flow. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had known each other for a while, since kindergarten, when Rainbow used to go over to Fluttershy’s house after school until just before dark. Fluttershy dared to look over at her friend who now seemed lost in thought and frowned. Both she and her friends knew Dash had lost her mother to cancer just over a year and a half ago, despite Rainbow refusing to ever talk about it. It was around that time that Fluttershy felt her and Rainbow’s bond drift apart from as close as sisters to just mere friends. If it were a year and a half ago, this silence would have been snarky banter and gossip about the cheer and basketball team. Fluttershy remembered the funeral well.

Rest In Peace Windy Whistles. :fluttercry:

“My parents are away for the weekend for their anniversary, and I’m pretty sure Zephyr will be more thrilled than annoyed that you’re here” She laughed quietly, a hand over her mouth, making Rainbow grin in return.

here." She*

“Obviously not!” Rainbow responded angrily, and if Fluttershy were to wager, very fast as well. Then she lowered her voice. “How can you assume such a thing, Flutters? You know my Dad. I just had a fall during training, it's not a big deal.” Fluttershy’s eyebrows furrowed as she watched Rainbow’s eyes refuse to meet her own. She’d known her long enough to know when she was lying, but Fluttershy refused to bring it up again. Rainbow just needed a place to stay the night, and they weren’t nearly as close as they used to be for Fluttershy to demand personal secrets from Dash.

I hope she'll find out the real reason soon enough. :unsuresweetie:

“I’m sorry,”

"I'm sorry."*

“No no, it's my bad, I don’t know why I got so worked up,” Rainbow apologised, releasing a forced chuckle as she got into the other side of the bed. “I’m just tired is all. Sleep well.” Rainbow gave her a smile before facing the other way, her back to Fluttershy. Fluttershy flopped onto her bed, her eyes tracing small cracks in the ceiling paint. Sleep well, If Fluttershy was more assertive she would have scoffed at that, but alas she wasn’t, so she mentally sighed and waited until her friend’s breathing slowed down. Fluttershy shifted then, to face Rainbows back and watch until her movements slowed. It wasn’t until about ten minutes later Fluttershy dared to sit up, making sure not to make any noise from the bed. Rainbow used to be a heavy sleeper in high school but she didn’t want to push her luck, after all, 17 year old Rainbow isn’t 18 year old Rainbow.

well. If*

Already she felt gross and icky and disgusted at herself but she continued to reach for her bedside drawer until a bottle of pills landed in her hands. She was first diagnosed with insomnia at 15, and began taking medication once a night. After a couple years, the doctor suggested that she had to force sleep on herself without the use of medications, and so her insomnia rose. Every night Fluttershy lay awake, afraid of her dreams and afraid she wouldn’t wake up. It went on like that for months- days with no sleep and one where she had no choice but to pass out and once more was plagued with her own fears.

Poor Fluttershy. :pinkiesad2:

“Awh Cheer up sugarcube, It’s been over a year now, surely you can try and make it up to her.”

Did they have a fight or break up as a couple or something? :applejackconfused:

Sunset’s top half lay hanging over the side of the bed as she peered over Twilight’s shoulder watching her girlfriend do smart, sexy, nerd things. Twilight herself was positioned cross-legged on the floor with her laptop in her lap, focusing on a very important presentation. A very important presentation she left until the last minute. “Twilight”

"Twilight?*

“Twilightt,” Sunset whined rolling over onto her back so that she could now see the laptop screen upside down. “Lets cuddle”

"Twilight,"*
cuddle."*

Sunset grabbed both of Twilight’s hands in her own, “Twilight, you are literally the smartest girl i know. In this world and Equestria.” She chuckled at her own joke. “Your report is one of a kind and the examiners would be complete idiots if they don’t see it too.” She squeezed her hand, “If you don't believe in yourself, believe in me. I know you’re going to ace it.” Something about SUnset’s words soothed any edges that made Twilight doubt herself, because she did trust Sunset, much more than herself.

about Sunset's words*

“Reading your article right now won’t do anything” Sunset gave Twilight a knowing look as a smile made its way onto the purple girl’s face. “Come onn.”

anything."*

“We can go to the police,” She walked closer to Sunset. “I can talk to my dad! he can help y-”

dad! He*

“T-twi, I'm so sorry, I-I don’t know…I- Oh my god.” Sunset fell to the floor, her eyes pinpricks, and Twilight fell back on the bed, realisation slowly coming back to her just as she started feeling the sharp pain from her cut. My girlfriend just threw car keys at my face, she thought, fear creeping into her mind as she watched her girlfriend completely lose it. Twilight stared in shock at Sunset, whose own mistakes led her to cut her girlfriend. Me, her girlfriend who stood by her despite everything… Twilight’s breathing became laboured, and their eyes caught each other's. The red haired girl’s heart dropped at how Twilight looked at her. A monster… An animal. Twilight was afraid.

Well... I think I got my answer for their breakup. Sorta. :applecry:

“I will let myself out.” Rarity left the apartment quietly, and ran to the bathrooms at the end of the hallway, throwing open the cubicle and collapsing in front of the toilet.

First off gross, second, at least she doesn't have to deal with that guy anymore. :twilightsheepish:

“What a surprise that father isn’t aware,” Rarity scoffed, packing away her make-up. “Check your clean basket, mother did some washing yesterday.”

clean basket? :applejackconfused:

“If I had a son he would have taken her.” He mumbled, making Rarity grit her teeth. Her whole childhood, she felt as though her father held a sort of resentment towards her. He had always wanted a son and when instead he was gifted with two daughters, he always had made little quips at them, comparing them to his non-existent sons, how much more fun it would be if he had someone he could talk to about soccer or cars with, or play catch and care for him when he’s older. Rarity decided from very little that she would be exactly like her mother, and in some way began feeling a sort of resentment towards men.

I feel sorry for her. :fluttershysad:

“Good Morning Rarity, I hope you didn’t wait too long.” Fluttershy said, leaning over slightly as Rarity got up to give her two cheek-to-cheek kisses. It was a habit Rarity had gained from her Mother’s side of the family , and Fluttershy was the only one who let the fashionista greet her that way every time they met.

family, and*

“Uft-pfft-tch!” Rarity scoffed, waving a hand. “Nonsense darling, It gave me plenty of time to finish some designs i’ve been working on lately”

lately."*

Rainbow finished her shower with a heavy head making her way over to the mirrors. As she stared at her reflection, a familiar feeling of self-loathing rose up from her stomach. She turned her hip to the side, stretching to see if the bruise Fluttershy noticed was fading any quicker. It was lighter than the day before so she pressed a finger to it, frowning as the pain still remained. Fucking weak ass body.

I wonder where she got the bruise from? :unsuresweetie:

As Applejack passed Rainbow Dash after their accidental bumping in the hallway, she breathed a sigh of relief, as though if she breathed too loud in front of the athlete, she was able to read her thoughts. Rainbow Dash, who at some point in the past Applejack considered as her best friend, seemed almost impossible to talk to anymore. Every time she looked at Dash now, she didn’t know what to say, how to act, or what to bring up. She didn’t even know what page she stood on with the athlete. Although Dash seemed completely okay with Applejack, the farmer did not want to make that same selfish mistake twice, and decided to keep her friendship with Rainbow Dash distant.

Oh my. :applecry:

“Don’t yell at me, kid” He slurred, struggling to stand up and using Rainbow’s shoulder as balance. As his eyes met Rainbow’s it seemed to widen, as though he had seen a ghost. “Windy…” He whispered his hand suddenly against his daughter’s cheek.

kid." He*
I feel sorry for him, seeing how losing your spouse can be a lot for many. :pinkiesad2:

She felt the wind get knocked out of her lungs then and there as her dad threw her against the counter, the corner of it stabbing right into her hip making a sharp pain cascade up her spine. She screamed in pain as she fell to the floor, breathing heavily.

Welp, that explains the injury now... :fluttercry:

“No Dad. Dad, you don’t understand. This is- YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND”

UNDERSTAND!"*

“Dash I needed the money. I lost some heavy bets I needed to pay off.” Her head started swirling. Her dad wasted the money her mother saved up for her. The money she saved for herself- because he’s now not only an alcoholic but a chronic gambler?

Fantastic... :twilightangry2:

“Get the fuck out of my room before I fucking pony-up, call the magic princess from the other universe, and fucking murder you so you can finally meet up with mum after fucking defying every single one of her dying wishes.” She snarled and immediately Blaze rushed out not only the room, but left the house too.

Holy crap! :pinkiegasp:

She didn’t have any money. All her savings, the money her mother entrusted her for school- all gone because she was stupid enough to think it was safe under the same roof as an alcoholic. How could I have fucking trusted dad for one second. Another pain suddenly flooded her- a heavy, ever-lasting, self-hatred. She squeezed her eyes closed, refusing to let tears loose, and so she fell to the floor beside her bed and reached for her bedside drawer. There was a single blade razor used usually to shave any arm hair. With a sudden burning need for release she pulled her sweatpants to her knees and held the razor above her upper thigh- there, multiple other scars, small tallies in random orientations were exposed. Each one reminding her of failures and mistakes- times she wasn’t perfect enough for herself, or times she wasn’t good enough for her parents and friends. Her finger traced over her very first one, just above the rest of them. Her first tally was at her mother’s funeral. Once more, she carved a line with the razor on her thigh, the pain a reminder of an easily preventable mistake. It was better than crying like a pussy, she believed. She cried anyway. Rainbow Dash cried silently, her tears falling against her new cut, the tears watering down the blood as they mixed together. She shook for a while as the harsh reality that she won’t be able to continue at CCAS came to light.

Dash... :pinkiesad2:

Equestria felt like a distant memory in Sunset’s head, but it was a mere five years ago when she left it to run away to here. At the age of 16, Sunset had absolutely no idea how to navigate this unfamiliar place, and for weeks afterwards, she spent her night’s under makeshift shelters in alleyways, using cardboard boxes as umbrellas, scouring off of free samples shop owners were nice enough to give. Not until a rainy night where she met Mikey.

Shouldn't she technically be 19 like her friends? :applejackunsure:

Mikey sighed again. This girl was going to make him actually lose it one day. “Our Family! We aren’t the only gang in Canterlot, Sunset. Did you know we have lost that batch of drugs you were responsible for? That means it's not there! That means someone else has taken it and I sure hope it was Ruby’s bastards instead of the cops.”

Ok, now I'm wondering just why Sunset is still friends with this guy!!!!! :raritydespair:

Mikey’s expression darkened. “Sunset I have been lenient with you. But you have lost us 200,000 dollars to our enemy. You’re going to find that money on your own or so help me God I will have your pretty girlfriend shot through her heart in an instant. Call my bluff, I dare you.” He said, roughly grabbing her hand and pressing it against his forehead. Sunset now was well aware of Mikey’s stance on her blunder, and a foreboding feeling of dread made its way throughout her as her thoughts about Twilight spiralled out of control.

Oh Sunset, what have you gotten yourself into... :raritycry:

“So I uh,” Rainbow started, rubbing the back of her neck. “I was wondering if there’s any easy money…up for grabs?” Sunset blinked in surprise at that. It was no secret her affiliation with Mikey and his gang, but her friends rarely ever brought it up, and at some point Sunset assumed they had forgotten about it. Hearing Rainbow say it so casually had thrown her off guard. “I know Mikey makes you run…errands, and if there’s anything on offer right now, I need you to hook me up.”

Of course she'd bring it up. :facehoof:

Except her friends had a completely different image of Rainbow Blaze. One of a loving father who urged her friends to have slumber parties at his house and order pizza for them, or someone who laughed at his own very mediocre jokes, or someone who did everything for his daughter over the summer so she wouldn’t feel her mother’s absence. For Rainbow Dash, it felt wrong to ruin that image, no matter how untrue it really was. And one other thing was stopping her from telling Sunset the truth- pity. She didn’t want it, especially from someone who she held in such high levels of badassery. Rainbow Dash getting beat up by her dad? Crying about it and refusing to do anything to stop it? Seemed very pitiful to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow felt her throat close up as she thought back to one of the biggest reasons she distanced herself from her friends then. It was the fear of being found out. She was afraid that one day the bruise on her leg or shoulder would be seen, or she would wince too hard during play-fighting with Applejack, or flinch in fear if someone moved too fast on a day she was feeling particularly out of it. She was scared for them to realise how weak she really was, and so she distanced herself. That way, rumours appeared, but they never stayed too long- there was no evidence for anything. And at the end of it, the girls themselves slowly grew apart.

A shame. :applecry:

“The part where you threatened him with ponies was pretty badass though.” Sunset joked, and the two laughed quietly. “Shit Dash, I had no idea what you were going through. You should have come to one of us.”. Rainbow gestured between themselves, as though to say she just did. “I’m going through a bit of a hiccup too. I might need you as much as you need me.”

us." Rainbow*

“I just don’t get why you refuse to get your licence sis.” He sighed as he headed out the door.

Technically she does in the show but I'm guessing she doesn't in this hc. :applejackunsure:

Fluttershy bit her lip as she followed him out of the house silently. Already, she was planning on a way to change the story so he could drop her somewhere else, closer to the meeting spot but still not be suspicious of what was going on. As the two siblings got into the car and made their way to Rainbow’s house, Flutter could not calm the trembling in her hands, and so she covered it with the sleeves of her raincoat.

house, Fluttershy*

“Bullshit dad,”

dad."*

“Everyone in the city knows about Mikey and his gang. They’re notorious” Shining Armour said, waving a hand.

notorious!" Shining Armor*

“I do…but I’m telling you that you need to be careful with this. Have only half or a quarter tablet.” He said slowly, watching her frown. “Just one causes a full blackout…immediately. And a lot of the time people don’t remember anything from up to an hour before taking it.”

Oh crap! :twilightoops:

Fluttershy made a quick pit stop to take the stray cat home with her.

Glad to see one thing about her hasn't changed. :ajsmug:

“Applebloom still begs me for our old sister-trio camping trips,”

“Only if you're lying to me. Friends don’t lie to each other.” Applejack answered, a sort of familiar hurt building within her as Rarity continued to withhold something so blatantly.

And here I thought only eleven from stranger things says that. :applejackunsure:

In her pickup truck, Applejack slammed her fist against the steering wheel. Again, she let the memory of her past ruin something in the present- today making her look entitled and nosy and definitely not like the Applejack who would respect her friend’s privacy.

A real struggle for friendship when moving on past high school, that's for sure. :fluttercry:

Rainbow’s heart had increased rapidly, and she cursed herself for being afraid again, reminding herself her father was only an embarrassment, not a threat. Her eyes were stuck on Sunset’s hands before she looked at her face and roughly pushed her off, getting her to stumble back a few steps. “Lay off it, okay? I know what i’m getting myself into, I’m not a fucking idiot. You agreed to this”

agreed to this."*

“Hey Twi! How are you, are you parents home?” Rainbow said, peering over to see inside her house.

Pinkie smiled at her. “I bet! Family is important isn’t it Moonie?” August nodded eagerly. And then for some reason Pinkie wasn’t too sure of, she seemed to become upset. And Pinkie hated seeing that. She decided to change the topic, and grabbed some sprinkles from the coffee table. “Do you want to see a magic trick?” She whispered, bringing her palm of sprinkles close. She watched August’s pupils dilate in excitement as she focused on her palm. Pinkie closed her fist then, and in a quick motion, threw the sprinkles in the air. The two watched, August’s jaw wide open as the sprinkles glowed and burst into a soft cloud of glitter. Pinkie had gained much better control of her powers since they had first discovered it a couple years ago and now she’s able to make explosions, not so explosive. Her favourite trick to do when babysitting, and the children just loved it every time.

Good to see she's gotten it under control. :ajsmug:

Rarity was at the Emerald Court, a prestigious Casino in the Crystal Empire, home to only the richest of people with starting bids of at least nine hundred dollars. Of course, Rarity had never gambled at the Emerald Court, but she did love the architecture, the luxury, and the drinks. Not to mention that there was always a gentleman somewhere waiting for her. She sat at a booth by herself, a champagne in her hand as she stared at the crowd in the casino, groups of people gathered against blackjack tables and poker machines. The casino itself was more of a club slash bar, and not everyone entered with the intent of spending money. Her dress was long, black and satin, with an off-the-shoulder neckline that was bordered with a white fur. Her hair hung in loose curls as she swished her champagne in the glass.

Isn't she underage to be drinking? :applejackconfused:

Fluttershy felt helpless as her body yearned to sleep and her mind yearned to be normal and her heart yearned to have someone with her. She yearned to be courageous enough to tell her darkest secrets without fearing judgement. But most of all she wanted someone to help her. She couldn’t even cry anymore, those tears dried up hours ago. So she curled up to her side, arms tucking her knees into her side as she shrunk in on herself. She absolutely hated the feeling of being lonely.

I know the feeling well... :pinkiesad2:

Twilight turned her head slightly, still looking at the lights in the precinct. “Waiting for it to empty,” As if on cue, the front door opened revealing a middle aged man with pale blue skin and navy hair, walking out tired and slouched. Twilight’s dad, Nightlight, was looking like it was an unsuccessful day. Sunset peered down at her friend, noting her dejected expression. She was, of course, breaking into her dad’s work and potentially sabotaging his job.

Let's hope they don't get caught. :applecry:

A familiar beep brought the girls to attention and panic was set off in Sunset’s head as she heard footsteps. Someone was here. But why? It was the middle of the night. Shit, Sunset thought as she met Twilight’s own wide eyes. Her eyes pounced around the room until it rested on a small closet. Sunset pulled Twilight into the small compartment just as the door rattled, revealing Nightlight, looking even more tired than earlier.

Not good! :raritydespair:

“Newsflash babe, I’m a criminal. And this shit is my fault. If Mikey gets caught from this. It doesn’t matter how much mind-reading powers I have. He’ll give me up.” Twilight bit her lip, in two minds about this. She was stuck. “Twilight. I won’t keep this forever. Once we find that truck, I’ll return it. Okay?” Twilight thought her eyes were sincere, and her smile too. But she didn’t know how much her friend had changed in a year. And her earlier behaviour gave her a snippet of scars that were too deep to heal.

Wasn't expecting called her to call Twilight babe, but hey, I'm not complaining. :rainbowdetermined2:

“No…it’s just, I know you’ve always been against this whole dating for fun thing. You always told me you only date to marry.”

True and not true Rarity. :twilightsheepish:

“That’s why she was soo out of it. Like reallyy out of it.” Rainbow responded to which Fluttershy glared at her.

Right... :ajbemused:

“Her family cells cider to them. They’re her and her family’s biggest customer apparently.” Rainbow bit the inside of her cheek. She didn’t know how it connected, but it did. “You don’t think…”

Huh. :rainbowhuh:

“You make it seem like that’ll be hard. I’ll get it done before you two get a chance to get your tongues in each other.” Rainbow scoffed, causing both girls to redden deeply.

Lmao! :rainbowlaugh:

Rainbow pursed her lips, “Because I don’t want you to be profiled with us… if we get caught.” She corrected herself, “Which we won’t.” She poked her finger to her chest. “But still.”

us... if we get caught."*

Rarity’s eyes widened in understanding. “Oh I see. Apologies darling, I may have overstepped.” She took out her pocket-mirror to reapply her lip gloss. “Just what are those silly girls hiding?” She thought to herself, before catching Fluttershy’s eye from behind her mirror. “My sweet, you’re turning the most delightful shade of pink.”

As much as I want to guess, I'd rather wait to find out. :applejackunsure:

Pinkie hesitated for a second, worried for the young boy. “That’s so amazing!” She all but shouted, “I have a pet too! His name is gummy and he’s an alligator. But don’t worry, he’s not real.” Pinkie whispered the last part, covering the side of her mouth as though it was a secret.

It's not in Equestria. :trollestia:

Fluttershy adjusted in her seat, pen in her hand jotting notes down as Rarity explained key principles. Her hand jittered once, and she stopped writing to take a breath and calm herself down. After Rainbow Dash came over the other night, her symptoms calmed down significantly. But they weren’t gone. It was just much easier to mask them now. Rainbow slept over one night ago, and she was able to sleep again then. But Rainbow didn’t come over again and last night she felt the same as before. That urge to reach out for the bottle, just something to make her drowsy enough for a few minutes shut eye. She couldn’t blame Rainbow for not being with her every night. She had her own life, and it would be unfair to ask her to stay all the time. Fluttershy sighed in frustration, she had to find a way to buy something for the sleepless nights. No, that's a horrible thing to think. I need to go to rehab.

Apart of myself thinks they should move in together, but with their own situations going on, I know it can't be possible. :ajsleepy:

“Yes! I just remembered I needed some help with a dress at home. I hope you don’t mind being of assistance?” She lied. She rather talk to Fluttershy at her house than in the car driving.

Let's hope this works. :unsuresweetie:

“Yes well, tomato tom-ah-to.” She flicked her hand before stopping to look at Fluttershy seriously and grabbing her hands. “Look darling I…” She bit her lip, trying to find the right words. “I saw you in the car. I know you don’t want to go home, and you don’t need to tell me why. I just thought we could have a good old fashioned ‘girl’s night’” She suggested, confused on why she was feeling nervous all of a sudden. “I actually also need to get my mind off of some stuff. It would be a nice change.” Her hands pressed Fluttershy’s softly in anticipation.

night'." She*

The guard didn’t say anything, merely reaching out a hand for the identification. Applejack gave him her one first, to which she was let inside. Applejack waited nervously behind the guard as Rainbow gave him her card. The man looked at her, then the card. And her again. It didn’t help that Rainbow was eighteen now and the photo in the card was taken when she was sixteen. “I know, I look great for my age,” Rainbow boasted. The guard rolled his eyes, letting her through much to Applejack’s relief as she let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. Rainbow nudged the farmer, “See, told you. All that stress is starting to show, AJ.”

Uh huh... :ajbemused:

“Let’s just order some drinks. That way we aren’t too out of place.” Applejack suggested, raising her hand for the bartender. “Two apple ciders please,” She ordered, remembering Rainbow’s love for the beverage. Granted, ever since she had started drinking alcohol, the farmer’s favourite was also a hard cider.

I feel the same, though I dint drink it a lot since I turned 21. :twilightblush:

Rainbow chuckled, “I’m tryna keep a clear head AJ. You know I can’t keep that crap down.” It was the half truth- she was a lightweight, but ever since Rainbow watched her father lose himself to alcohol, she’s become uncomfortable at just the sight of it, let alone drinking it.

I don't blame her decision. :fluttershysad:

“Golden Ore!” An eerily cheerful voice called from across the room. “Harassing women again I see!” Rainbow and Applejack turned their heads, eyebrows raising as there, in the middle of the bar with a tray in her arms and roller blades on her feet was none other than their pink friend.

“Oh well in that case!” Pinkie bounced up to pat Rainbow and Applejack’s heads before throwing them a key. “Just down there guys! If anyone asks, mention Granny Smith. They love her.” At that, Pinkie skated off to another group.

Ok? :unsuresweetie:

“Pinkie Pie always acts strange.”

Touché :duck:

“Yeah! And it gives you two time to spend together!” Spike commented, making the two girls redden at each other before stealing a biscuit from Sunset’s hand.

Right... :trollestia:

Sunset winced at the use of her full name. Even throughout when they were dating, Twilight only used it if she was really upset. Her gaze shifted from Twilight to the bed as she thought back to last week.

I'm surprised she's not used to it seeing she was called that a lot in eqg, even after the second movie. :applejackunsure:

“Shit, shit, shit, shit!” She complained, running back to the truck. Except the parking spot was empty, and the truck was nowhere to be found. “Shit.” She groaned, pulling her face with her hands.

Welp, that explains how she got into that mess. :ajbemused:

“Call Rarity and Fluttershy. Something’s wrong.” Twilight said urgently.

Oh boy... :applecry:

“Hello dear,”

"Hello dear."*

“Holy Shit, AJ. I had no idea your farm sells so much to these guys” Rainbow said, impressed as the two walked into the garage piled with boxes upon boxes of the Apple Family cider.

guys." Rainbow said,*

It happened too fast, far too fast for either of the girls to tap into their pendants for the speed and strength needed to fend off whoever had grabbed them. She felt a rough shove, her arms were pinned down before she could even blink and before she knew it her breath had become ragged. Dad. It was her first thought, and she tried to fight off the prickly feeling in her hands and the lack of oxygen in her lungs. She was afraid, more than afraid. Her and her dad hadn’t left on good terms, and she knew he wouldn’t hesitate to stick a bullet in her. Her eyes were wide open, but her vision was blurred, and her ears felt blocked. There were muffled shouts from around her, one had a distinct country accent to it.

It was a trap all along!! :raritydespair:

Sunset didn’t let her eyes leave Michael, the anger radiating off her in waves. “He lied to me. Used my weaknesses against me. That’s how.”

That bitch! :twilightangry2:

Then he threw some photos on the ground, scattering between the six girls. Rainbow’s eyes shot desperately to Fluttershy whose chest began heaving faster and faster. There, in the folder were multiple photos of the shy girl with a masked man, KL, constantly buying drugs. “I never expected someone so shy to be an addict.”

God damn it. :facehoof:

“Oh relax, Ketchie, she didn’t betray you. She simply blabbered on and on about your magic powers. It was more stupidity than anything else. But it helped me figure out how to get them off you. It will be a long while before you see these again.” He softened then, sighing. “I admire your care for eachother, it’s something I've tried and failed to achieve in the Ratmakers. Sunset, I want you to know you aren’t prisoners. You can live normally under my gang, but you will be helping me change the course of the case. Once Night Light is demoted and the case closes again, you’ll be free to do whatever.” He watched Sunset, how she was taking it. “You have my word that the evidence will remain with me, and only me. Unless I have probable cause to release it.”

Shit... :twilightoops:

Idk when the next chapter will be our, but I'm hesitant to see what happens next, even if it'll be frightening. :fluttershysad:
