//------------------------------// // Rap Battle #15: Results and Aftermath // Story: Epic Rap Battles of MLP // by enigmaMystere //------------------------------// Applebloom and her coltfriend walked away from the stage, tails entwined. She was still a little confused, though. "Ah don't get it. Why were they rappin' 'gainst each other? Aren't they sweethearts, or somethin'?" He smiled, draping a wing over her. "The way I figure it, they were just getting it out of their system. All that anger, that pain...it's just not healthy to keep it bottled up." She thought about it for a moment, then shrugged. "Ah guess." She leaned against his side, wistfully sighing. They walked in silence for a while before she started giggling. He looked at her, an eyebrow quirked. "What's so funny?" She shook her head, trying to calm down long enough to speak clearly. "Ah was j-just thinkin' about what happened at Sugar Cube Corner. It was th' most memorable lunch Ah've ever had!" He chuckled, pausing right on the bridge towards the farm. "Yeah, I still can't believe mum ate fifteen trays of muffins. That stallion didn't even come close!" He leaned down, gently nuzzling her cheek. Applebloom blushed brightly, closing her eyes to enjoy the nice sensation. Glancing up into the sky, she finally noticed the full moon and sea of stars. One couldn't ask for a more romantic evening. She tilted her head up, their muzzles mere inches away, lips almost- "APPLEBLOOM! SUPPER TIME!" They pulled away from each other, doing their best imitation of a tomato. "C-comin'!" She gave an apologetic smile before galloping off, leaving her pegasus staring after her. "...one more second..." He sighed and, turning around, began his uneventful trip back to his own home. A telescope tilted back up into its upright position, the viewer frowning slightly. "So close..." She sighed and entered the shared living area, noticing her sister playing on the gaming system there. She shook her head, smiling slightly...then she saw the game. "...'WolfPuncher2'? Seriously, Lulu?" The dark alicorn glanced over, smirking slightly. "It's better than those games you play, 'Tia." She rolled her eyes, walking out of the room, muttering to herself. "...there's nothing wrong with 'Catherine'..." Luna, absolutely certain her sister had fallen asleep, smirked, her magic activating the switch on the side of the television. "Sorry, Sweet. We couldn't let anypony know we know each other, for your sake." "I don't mind!" The childish voice filtered through her headset. "I'm just glad you like to play with me! I'd get my col-" There was a bout of stuttering. "M-my friend to play, but...well, it's unfair that he has claws. It's like these games were made for dragons. Enough of that, though! Let's kick some zombie flank!" With a smirk, they started the campaign, shooting down zombies and trying to get to the safe rooms. Anything to forget...her...breaking off... Lyra and Bon Bon sat across from each other, neither one speaking, nor even able to look at the other. As usual, Fluttershy sat between the two rappers, but this time, she had no idea what to say. After all, what does one say when two loves get into a big, public fight? "...I'm sorry." The other two turned to the unicorn, surprised. "...you are?" She nodded, finally looking up at her marefriend. "...I should've listened to you...it's just..." She looked back down, ashamed. "...I was so hurt...and...Discord...doesn't his power magnify negative feelings?" The silence grew again, but this time, it was broken by a giggle. The couple stared at the shy pegasus, who was currently trying hard not to laugh. Thankfully, she succeeded. "Y-you thought he did that?" She shook her head, smiling softly. "He makes ponies act the opposite they normally would." Sudden realization hit the unicorn like an anvil. "...so that means..." She turned back to the cream-colored mare, tears in her eyes. "...you love me...more than anything..." No one would have expected Lyra to suddenly leap over the table and lock lips with her marefriend. Fluttershy certainly didn't. She smiled softly, seeing the couple happy again. I guess I don't have to tell them Bon Bon won... Then she realized they weren't stopping. They weren't even slowing down. With a bright pink blush on her face, she excused herself and rushed off into the night, fairly certain they didn't even notice her leave. There was a knock on the door. With a small groan, the librarian put down the multi-colored cube she'd been studying. Opening the door, she put on her best smile. "I'm sorry, but the library is closed. Please come back-" A medium-sized, rectangular parcel was shoved into her hooves by the gray mare, both of her eyes meeting Twilight's gaze. "Special delivery from Canterlot!" Confused, she accepted the package and closed the door. She continued her work, a single, nagging thought stuck in her head. "...I thought Ditzy was the mailmare?" Fluttershy stared at the empty spot on her desk, confused. "...where did my book go?" So yeah, Bon Bon won, 46 to 15. There was also a vote for 'Clint Eastwood', but he's in Apploosa. Oh, and there were some votes I couldn't make heads nor tails of, so I didn't count them. ^^; Anyways, there's something important to next battle's reason here. Oh, and a clue to who the 'big bad' of this 'arc' is. Does anyone know how to use Source Filmmaker? I'm having more trouble than I thought I would with it. >.<;; (PS, please read - and possibly comment on - the latest blog!~) Anyways, keep in mind: I still do the 'reference contest' for the chapters. Oh, and Bon Bon, under the influence of Discord, left Lyra for Lucky. Just so you know why they were arguing in the first place. Have a nice day! Enigma out.~
