A Christmas to Remember

INTERLUDE: All Hell Breaks Loose

How did I buttdial Mom!? Rainbow Dash thought as she pulled the phone out of her pocket, "Hey, Mom."

"Rainbow Dash, we raised you BETTER than this! You drove a girl to commit SUICIDE!?"

"Uh, no, Mom," Rainbow said, grabbing a handful of hay and rubbing it against the phone, "What? Sorry I... losin' ya... la..." she hung up and shut her phone completely off.

"Pinkie," Maude said to her younger sister, "Why did you do this?"

"I'm so sorry!!" came the reply, along with literal gallons of tears that came from who-knows-where.

Everyone was having to answer for what they did at this point, and none of them were holding up well. In fact, all hell was beginning to unfold somewhat in the barn.

"D... do you think Sunset...?"

"Since I have been going to your school, I've seen her, as you say, regain her cool. She is an honest girl, but for her forgiveness, it will be more than just a hurdle."

"Should I call her?"

"A flight to the Russianland was planned, but I'm sure it has yet to land."

"Fluttershy, don't bother with that bitch!" Rainbow said, "I had 'er phone busted!"

"Why?" was all Zecora could come up with.

"She hasn't posted again, but I really wish she were in the middle of the road right now."

"While I too was attacked, it was done so without fact. I must admit, while I was perturbed, I believe Anon-a-miss was the one who was truly disturbed. My people do not hold ill-will because of her transgression so slight, instead we look to resolve it at a time most nigh."

"You and your fancy nature gods better-"

"While my people are Pagan, we don't disrespect and hate as you do and do again."

"So you're telling me that I'm blaming this on a bunch of dumb animals and trees!?" Fluttershy got up and went over to Rainbow during her rant, "I'm pretty sure that they don't have a brain to-" Fluttershy sent a blow to the ranter's nose, breaking it and ushering a wave of frightening silence throughout the barn, "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!?"

"Don't EVER let me catch you saying something like that again! Not only were you disrespecting nature, but you were supposed to be LOYAL to us, Sunset included! I don't care HOW much of a jerk she was, but it sure-as-hell didn't justify THIS!!!" she stormed out of the barn, slamming the door behind her.

Nobody did anything for a minute.

"Fluttershy!" Zecora said, running out to find the angered girl.
