I reviewed by situation.
It was of course, not going to end very well on either side, but I suppose that was to be expected. I had lost my temper again, I could have walked around and swallowed my bitterness, but even when I meet a Griffin for less than twenty seconds, they seem to push all of my buttons the wrong way, and repeatedly.
Now since I was not the one who attacked first, it was possible I wouldn't be blamed, however there was one factor preventing that.
The hot headed many spectrum colored pony known as Rainbow Dash, and she still clings to loyalty despite it.
Her aura brushed across me in waves as she projected her mood clearly and loudly, it was filled with energy like Pinkie Pie, but more controlled and aiming in my direction. It was so filled with this energy that it nearly charge the air with invisible electricity. The energy also extended and became solid and gas like wherever it reached, like chains it clung to several ponies in the vicinity, one being Twilight, to a lesser extent Cloud, but right now the one that was blazing was the on connected to Gilda the Griffin as she lay slumped, sleeping on the floor.
Even without this intangible and underlying power, it was obvious to see that the speedsters expression was furious.
I then chose to answer her question, a mere three seconds after she has shouted it at me.
"I was calming a violent dispute, and also talking with one who plans to start another one."
"NO! Buck you trying to turn this in your favor, ponies don't just smash bottles on other ponies heads! That was way out of line!"
"Please, even if that was a real bottle it wouldn't have done more than annoy a regular Griffin, they are known for their hardheadedness." I stretched my leg nonchalantly, "And if I recall, she was the one who swiped at me."
"After you egged her on! Look G isn't really winning any stars on best behavior today but you're not going to say this was all her fault!" She grinds her hoofs into the dirt, a clear sign she was working up some traction, likely to pounce on the moments notice I would do something. "And why is she bucking unconscious if your so sure she could have shrugged that off?!"
"Because, she's getting up now." I drawled, Rainbow blinked in confusion, before looking behind her at her companion, who was blearily looking around, her eyes unfocused.
"Gilda! Are you alright, look I can get you to the clinic to check that out-
"Heeeeeyyy... Waaainbow!" She drawled near happily as she unsteadily sat up, "You look purdy... colorful... laik, RAINBOWS!" She giggled uncontrollably, her voice was harsh and made it sound strange, but still it was unmistakably an amused sound.
"Uh... G? Are you alright?" I was tempted to leave already and get back home, but I was sure that Rainbow would track me down anyway even if I did. So I instead sat down and observed the pair.
"Wha? What you mean Wainbow? I'm laik coo, chill... I'm chill." She mumbled incoherently, "Like, I'm walking on clouds yet, I'm not, you know?"
"... Are you drunk?"
"Heh, maaaaybeee." She giggled again, as she looked off into space.
"Okay, what the buck did you do to her?" Rainbow looked in my direction again, her previous anger was hot and furious, this one was simmered down a little as she was concerned about the Griffin.
"It's a simple concoction, meant to put the user into a dreamlike and harmless state and ward off any aggression, anypony can make it with the right mix and ingredients, she will be fine in a few hours."
"Hey... hey... Wainbow... got'cha tail, heh." We both looked back at Gilda who had grasped a hold on the speedsters tail.
"... So she's going to be like, this? For another few hours?" She now looked slightly relieved, but also bewildered.
"Maybe sooner, Griffin's are known to have stronger metabolisms." I then turned away, "Now if that's all, I need to be getting home."
"Hrm..." Rainbow looked at me, with that little bit of discontent in her eyes, "Don't think this is over, there is something fishy about you ever since I met you. Watch yourself from now on..."
"As if that is anything new..." I muttered under my breath, and simply walked away without a glance back, I spoke up a little louder, "It is a good idea to look after her, she has no concept of self preservation in that state, it's better is you keep her safe, if your such a close friend." I knew that part of me was just being rather petty, but I honestly didn't care.
I wanted to make something to get my mind of this experience.
POV CHANGE: Rainbow
This was so not cool, this day was getting worse by the second.
I thought it was going to an awesome day hanging out with my old friend Gilda, Pinkie was even making a party for her and everything. Things were going downhill the moment Gilda acted up in that party.
I knew she wasn't really the most behaved of fliers back at the Junior Speedsters, but I was kind of a brat then too, I got into every fight she was in, and she did the same for me and so I never questioned how it happened. We liked the same things and she was the only one who could keep up with me most the time in the air. And when she came into town i thought it would be great to hang out like the old times, and also meet with Pinkie later after we caught up.
But now... I had a my old friend who blew up and shouted insults at me, my friends and caused so much trouble. She didn't fit with the new friends I made in Ponyville, it was hard letting her go like that and I thought it would be the end.
Then that weird pony Scry Fortune bumped into the way.
I didn't care about her that much, sure, I helped out Applejack when she thought something was wrong, but not that much. And when she dropped the issue it seemed to disappear into the background.
But now she was totally up to something, the moment she hit Gilda over the head she was on my radar again.
Applejack might have washed her hooves of her suspicion, but I'm not letting up.
And the final end to a bad day, is the fact I have to look after Gilda, the ex-friend I had told to leave, until she wasn't all, clingy and giggly again. I don't even want to be here when she's one hundred percent again, but I couldn't leave her like this.
"It is a good idea to look after her, she has no concept of self preservation in that state, it's better is you keep her safe, if your such a close friend."
I grit my teeth in anger, those words had stunk deep, it was like she was guilt tripping me into this! And I was still hurting over the whole thing.
I currently had Gilda in my hooves as I flew up to my cloud house. Twilight offered to help but this was something for me to take care of, G was sure heavy not that I was carrying her. But I promised to myself I would take care of her and that was that.
"Purty... rainbows..." She muttered again, it was like the sixth time in the last few minutes she did that. Man this would be a funny thing to tell her when she... wakes up...
Celestia damn it, I'm still thinking of her as a friend, what the Tautarus am I going to do when she wakes up for real?
Eventually I got to my cloud house. Walking through the door, I couldn't bother to open it, I put Gilda on my coach and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay G... just sit there till your better, alright?"
"Kay Wainbow... your the boss..." She looked at me again, her eyes were all relaxed and unfocused, nothing like I knew her to be, she was always focused and determined, a little less heated when it was just the two of us. But other than that she never did settle down.
I was just about to turn away, maybe get myself something to eat when she spoke up again.
"I'm going to miss you Dash..."
I froze, before turning my head back towards her.
"Huh?" That was the best thing I could say in this situation, Gilda never said a sappy line like that.
"Mizz you..." She yawned loudly, "Moving..."
"Wait, hold up G, what are you saying?" She had my full attention now, "What do you mean moving? What's the matter?"
"Pop's wants to... move to the Griffin Kingdoms... it's far away..."
"I... why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I was gonna... do it... Pinkzy Pai got in the way... a lot..."
"Heh... yeah, Pinkie's like that... wait, was that why you were getting angry?"
"This waz... the last day, Pop's was packing stuff already... I didn't want to leave till..." She yawned again, she was getting a little better, but still out of it, "It was only meant to be the two of us..."
"... It's alright G, I'm sorry for everything that happened... when you wake up, let's go flying again, another race. This time to end them all." I felt a familiar grin slot into place as I looked back at her.
She gave a small grin in return, "Rad..." Her eyes closed, and within seconds, she drifted off.
I looked at her a few seconds, and walked off back to the kitchen, looking forward to the rest of my day.
And the funny thing is, I would have never seen Gilda again afterwards and never knew where she went, if it hadn't been for that weird mare called Scry Fortune.
