You'll Never Believe What Happened!

"And then Big Mac had to carry Granny Smith out while she kept yellin' 'Lemme at 'em, lemme at 'em'!" Applejack laughed. "It was the funniest thing I've ever seen!"

The others laughed as well.

"And what about you, AJ?" Rainbow Dash asked once she stopped laughing. "Have you ever been in a fight?"

"Not since I was a youngin'." Applejack declared proudly. But then, she remembered something. "...'Cept for that one time. Funny thing is, hehe, the girl I was fightin' was Limestone."

Pinkie spat out her soda, accidentally spraying Rarity with it.

"Pinkie!" Rarity scolded. "Ugh, why do I keep getting sprayed with soda?!"

"What?! I thought you and Limestone were friends?!" Pinkie said with surprise and concern. "Why were you both fighting?"

Applejack rubbed the back of her neck. "Well, we both had too much cider an' we both said some things we would regret sayin'... Hold on, you didn' know Limestone was in a fight? We were both pretty messed up."

Pinkie shrugged. "Limestone gets into fights all the time. She's one of those 'punch first, ask questions later' kind of people."

"Heh, yeah, Ah know." Applejack said with a smirk.

"So, what happened? Who won the fight?" Rainbow asked excitedly.

Applejack thought for a moment. "Ah can't remember everything, but Ah do remember we punched each other for while. And after that, I'm pretty sure she smashed an apple on my head and then I hit her with a pool stick. After that, it's a bit of a blur. Ah remember German suplexin' her through a table and Ah think she chokeslammed me off a balcony and then did an elbow drop right afterwards. Hmm... Pretty sure one of us got thrown through a window. Can't remember much else other than goin' to the hospital."

The others just stared at her.

"...What?"

"But I don't get it." Pinkie said in confusion. "You Limestone get along so well. Heck, you're probably her only friend that isn't her sister!"

"Oh, that didn' change." Applejack assured with a smile. "In fact, I'd say we bonded in that fight."

"Man, I wish i could of been there. It sounds so awesome!" Rainbow mused before getting smacked upside the head by Rarity.

"And what about you, Dash?" Applejack asked. "Any crazy thing happen to you that none of us were there for?"

Rainbow thought for a moment. "...Well, there was this one time in Summer Camp where I got lost in the forest."

"Oh yeah, I remember that." Fluttershy said. "We were really worried about you... Now that I think about it, you never told me what happened. You just said it was a 'long story'."

"Oh, right..." Rainbow rubbed the back on her head. "Well, I kinda wanted everyone to think that I was this bad...butt survivalist."

"And ya weren't?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course, I was!" Rainbow defended. "Just... not as much as people thought."

"So, what happened, Dashie?" Pinkie asked.

Rainbow sighed, realizing there was no way out of this one. "Well, what happened was... Now, this wasn't my fault, but... I rolled down a cliff."

The others gasped.

"Well, okay, it wasn't exactly a cliff, but it was really steep hill. Like, really steep! It might as well have been a cliff anyways. So, I fell and rolled down the cliff, err, hill, err, whatever it was and I got lost. I tried to find my way back to camp, but then I meet a bear and... I ran away." Rainbow looked away in embarrassment.

"Why is that bad?" Sunset asked. "You saw a bear and ran away from it. So what?"

"Well, I kinda wanted people to think I would have fought it." Rainbow admitted. "So, anyway, I ended up staying in the forest all night and most of the next day. By the way, why the heck was it so hot during the day and so cold during the night?!"

"Well-" Twilight started.

"Rhetorical question." Rainbow deadpanned.

"Oh... Sorry."

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "And, as you can imagine, I got hungry, so I started looking for berries. The problem was... I didn't know which berries were poisonous and which weren't."

"But, Rainbow, they taught us which ones were poisonous." Fluttershy inquired.

"Right, well, I kinda sorta maybe probably didn't listen."

Fluttershy gave her best friend a look.

"Anyway, so I ate the berries that didn't look poisonous. And... I don't know if they were poisonous or not, but they did not agree with my insides. Once I, uhh, did my business, I grabbed some leaves to wipe myself. But..." Rainbow blushed. "What I didn't know was..."

"Let me guess," Sunset butted in. "It was poison ivy."

Rainbow grumbled. "Yeah."

"Oh, so that's why you were acting funny when you got back." Fluttershy realized. "Why didn't you just tell the teachers?"

"Because it was embarrassing." Rainbow said with exhaustion. "Anyway, I tried to get some nuts, but I was attacked by an army of psychotic squirrels. So, I ended up not eating anything for the rest of that day and most of the day after. I couldn't get to sleep because it got so cold and I spent the next day looking for camp and avoiding that bear... and the squirrels. I even ended up cutting myself on some tree bark and hit my head on rock in the process."

"You told everyone a wolf did that." Fluttershy noted once again.

Rainbow took a deep breath. "I made it back to camp before sundown. The end. And what about you, Shy? What's something crazy that happened to you that none of us know about?"

"Umm..." Fluttershy thought for a moment. "Well, I accidentally got stuck on an airplane once."

Rainbow blinked in surprise. "...Really?"

"Yes. I was seven years old when it happened. Me, Mom and Dad, and Zephyr were talking with some friends at the airport when I saw this adorable little kitty. The poor thing looked lost and no one was paying any attention to him, so I snuck away and tried to catch him. I was so caught up in trying to get to him that I didn't realize we had ended up in the baggage area of a plane until the entrance shut behind us." Fluttershy tapped her chin in thought. "Now that I think about it, how did no one notice me? Hmm... Well, anyway, I was too scared to ask anyone for help, so me and the kitty just hid for the entire flight."

"So, how did you get back?" Twilight asked.

"Luckily, the airplane I ended up on was the same one my parents' friends were on and they found me. Then we took the next plane back home." Fluttershy looked down and rubbed her arm. "I felt awful for putting a dent in their vacation, but they assured me it wasn't a problem."

Rainbow sighed. "Well, at least you had it better than me."

"Oh! Oh! It's my turn!" Pinkie declared.

"I don't think that will be necessary, Pinkie." Sunset stated.

Pinkie gave the bacon-haired girl a confused look. "Why not?"

"Because you tell us weird things that have happened to you all the time."

"Oh... Good point." Pinkie accept without complaint. "What about you, Sunset?"

Sunset thought for a moment. She had already told them plenty of stories of life in Equestria and she didn't want to talk about things that happened during her time as a bully. So, she searched through her memories for something crazy that had happened to her recently that the others were not aware of. After some searching, she found it. "Remember on Christmas break, when I was late for that Nativity play?"

The others nodded.

"The reason I was late was because, while I was wrapping presents, I... kinda ended up in a cocoon of wrapping paper."

Rainbow laughed, earning herself another dope slap from Rarity.

Sunset rolled her eyes.

"How'ja even manage that?" Applejack asked.

"I don't even know." Sunset admitted. "One moment I was wrapping presents; the next, I was wrapping myself."

"I knew I saw ribbons in your hair!" Pinkie declared.

Sunset closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Yes."

"Now, it's Twilight's turn!" Pinkie decided.

Twilight thought for a moment. "Well, actually, I don't I have any stories like that. Most of my life has been reading and studying. The only really interesting parts had you girls in it. Hehe."

"Well, there must've something?" Pinkie insisted.

Twilight continued to think. After a while, she opened her mouth... and then closed it... then opened it again... then closed it again... open... close... open... close... "Nope. Can't think of anything."

"Well then, that leaves Rarity."

Rarity looked at her friends and tried to think of something. Her mind could only bring up one thing... Rarity blushed. "Well, um, I can only think of one event and... I'm sorry, it would not be ladylike to discuss it."

Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Ya do know who ya talkin' to, right?"

"...Good point." Rarity took a deep breath, seeing that there was no turning back now. "Alright, darlings, here's what happened. It was back when Sweetie Belle was still a baby. My parents had some business to attend to and left me to take care of my baby sister. To my luck, she ended up being quite restless and she wouldn't play with any of her toys, so I tried to find something else for her to play with." Rarity's blush deepened. "For whatever reason, I thought it was a good idea to search my parents' bedroom. So, after looking through their closets and finding nothing that would entertain her, I decided to look through the drawers of my mother's nightstand... And I found this funny-looking object."

Fluttershy covered her mouth with her hands while Rainbow bit into her fist.

Rarity looked close to crying. "And... it had a switch on it... and when I turned it on, it started vibrating."

Applejack took off her hat and shoved her face into it. Twilight started sweating profusely, making her glasses fog up.

Tears ran down Rarity's face. "And I thought to myself... 'Sweetie Belle will like this'."

Pinkie looked as if she was about to explode twice.

"And... And... I let her play with it!" Rarity wailed as she broke down into tears.

The others busted out laughing.

Rarity was in hysterics. "She put it in her mouth and everythan-an-an-ang! I was a child! I didn't know any better! Please don't tell Sweetie Belle!" She begged.

"D-Don't worry, Rare." Applejack choked out between laughs. "We'll- hehehe- We'll keep it b-b-between us. Ahahahaha!"

Despite feeling like a terrible person, Rarity couldn't help but laugh to.

The only one who wasn't laughing was Sunset, who stared at her friends in total confusion. "...I don't get it."
