Every relationship has fights. Some relationships are fairly calm, with only the occasional light spat that is quickly smoothed over. Others have their ups and downs, but conflict handled quickly when it happens--no one likes fighting with a loved one after all. Still more will find work-arounds, lying, cheating, anything to avoid anger and upset because they can't deal with the potential for arguments.

Rarity and Applejack are not any those kinds of people.

For them, arguments and raised voices are just as integral to their relationship as laughter and smiles. They fight and bicker and disagree on everything from fashion to the weather to what movies to watch. Its just part of who they are, and they always work through it in the end.

But never in all of the years they have known each other could Applejack remember fighting over something so small. Or made of such see-through material.

A Rarijack One-shot set in the same universe as Cross the Rubicon, this takes place somewhere before the first Equestria girls movie, but while the girls were in high school. Can be read independently of Rubicon, but is technically part of the slowly growing multitude of side stories and ideas that have taken on a life of their own.

When Princess Celestia had not only denied her what she deserved, but cast her out as well, Sunset Shimmer would not let that deter her. She would have what she so desperately sought, even of she had to risk it all to get it. That’s why, armed with only a set of saddlebags full to bursting and the vague, unreliable knowledge on the magical mirror that had shown the unicorn her destiny, she had traveled to the realm beyond its surface, hoping to gain something that would prove the Princess wrong.

But what she found there was nothing short of a nightmare, a hellish realm beyond most ponies ability to imagine....

For those that have read it, this is technically a one-shot that takes place in the same continuity as my main story Cross the Rubicon, though this takes place some years before that...

Originally written in response to a monthly writing prompt on Krickis’ Discord server, I wasn't satisfied with a paltry 1000 words that only scratched the surface of the idea. So I ended up taking it and expanding it. It's a tad unnerving, given that the original prompt was inspired by Halloween month, but its less Modern horror, more dread and suspense.
