I HATE SUNSHINE DOWN!!! Here let me explain.

When we got back to school on Monday, Sunshine avoided me and Straight. I knew she was still mad at us and that she would need some time to recover. Then Tuesday, she shoots a smile at me and Straight, like one of those dumb, kindergarten, "I have a secret and I'm not going to tell you it" smile. I went up and asked her what's going on, she giggles, and says, "You'll see." At that moment my gut sank.

I knew shit was going to start hitting the fan.

Now, I'll tell you right now that Clear Crystals and Straight Line doesn't like Sunshine Down (they think she's a spoiled brat, but they're probably just jealous that she can actually get an "A" in class). But what she did was pure evil.

On Wednesday, Straight Line complains to that his pimp got caught and now he's out of a job. I glanced over at Sunshine and had a sinking feeling that she took some part in it. Then on Thursday, while I was walking home, I heard Crystals screaming. Usually, I just walk by Crystal's alley as to not disturb her "business," but on that day, two Pegasus guards pressed her to the ground, confiscated her merchandise, and cut out her tongue! (Celestia figures if drug dealers are going to use their voices for evil, then they don't deserve to have one.)

It happened so fast. I... I couldn't react or anything, I just froze and she begged, "Please, not my tongue. Please, I'll do-" The damn guard wouldn't even let her finish her sentence. After that, they flew off and left her on the ground, bawling her eyes out.

I helped her to my house. I shattered her some ice from the ice-box, and let her chew on it. When my mom came home, she took over the medical stuff. She's good at that.

The worst part of it all is I can't do anything at all about. I would love to strangle her, but Sunshine knows about my egg, and I don't want the entire school to know I'm some freaky alien mom. That would ruin my chances at getting Big Jock (the toughest colt around) as my coltfriend. (I can tell he likes me. He tries to chat me up every other day after school.)

That and I don't want Celestia anywhere near my babies. I've been checking up on them, and they're almost as big as me. Plus, I've gotten used to the dreams where I talk to and teach them. It's actually a lot of fun.
