"There's another rumor being spread." she gasped.
"WHAT?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone had gone silent, waiting for the victim's names THIS time around.
Applejack looked around awkwardly, before realizing Twilight wasn't aiming for any dramatic effects.
"Well who is it!?"
Twilight jumped at her voice, then proceeded to stare at her and Rarity with sorry eyes, as if...
"Oh, don't tell me." she said blankly.
Twilight slowly nodded, getting an irritated groan from Applejack.
"WHO!?" Rarity yelled finally.
Applejack's head slumped down as she sighed.
"Us."
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOR THE LOVE OF!-"
++++++
"Really? I thought they were all straight." Lyra said, tapping her chin with a hoof.
"I guess not. I mean, it makes sense though. I mean, just think of how LONG they've been friends for! There had to be stronger feelings sooner or later." Bon Bon pointed.
"Huh." Lyra said. "So, who'd you hear it from?"
"Derpy." she replied almost instantly.
"...So then I guess I'll go see Derpy."
Bon Bon got a confused look on her face.
"Why?"
"Because I have nothing else to do." Lyra shrugged, heading to the door.
"Uhhh, okay?" Bon Bon said, tilting her head in confusion.
++++++
"Okay, so now that I have all of you here, we need to figure out how to stop these rumors, because this is getting ridiculous." Twilight said angrily.
The six just sat quietly in her house, nodding at each other, as if a secret language was being used.
Fluttershy finally spoke. "Why don't you get your brother to help? Maybe the culprit lives in Canterlot."
Twilight shook her head. "I doubt it's from Canterlot, especially with the consistency of the rumors." she pointed a hoof at Applejack and Rarity. "Because the rumor almost immediately spread after Rarity and Applejack's 'mission' for Big Macintosh and Fluttershy. But my brother could definitely help, thanks for that."
Fluttershy simply gave a small grin, then sank back onto the floor.
"Good, so now we're closer to finding the one ah'll crush." Applejack snarled.
Twilight clapped her hoofs together. "Alright, well I'll go to Canterlot in the morning, so for now, let's just get some sleep. Celestia knows we need it."
With that, the four ponies nodded and disbanded, seconds later leaving Pinkie Pie to pop out from the fireplace with a goofy smile. Twilight stared at her with awe, as she shook herself, clearing off the soot from her coat and revealing a ninja outfit.
"Shhhhh.." she said playfully to Twilight, before throwing down a smoke bomb filled with confetti under her and vanishing.
Twilight held a dumbfounded look on her face, covered in confetti and soot, seeing the now perfectly painted wall with confetti designs. Spike came out from hiding behind Twilight and looked at her with a worried look, before breaking out laughing on the floor.
"How does she DO that?" Twilight whispered to herself.
++++++
A small beam of light creaked through the- Eh, whatever, she woke up.
"Ugh." she groaned as she sat up on her bed, blinking lazily at everything before her. After finding the courage, she stood up and walked to her mirror, noticing the bad hair day she was having. She slowly combed her hair until it looked decent and began down the stairs, where she was met with a loud-
"Surprise!"
Twilight jumped back on the stairs, but slowly slumped back down to meet Pinkie Pie, who threw a-
"Good luck party!" Pinkie yelled. I wish I could at least finish my-
"Sentence!"
"............What?" Twilight asked sheepishly.
"Oh, nothing." Pinkie smiled.
"Uhh, okay." she said blankly before going out of the door and heading for the train station.
++++++
The train ride was extremely long and boring for the poor, purple unicorn, but she was hoping it would be worth the help.
"Twilie!" Shining Armor smiled, taking off his helmet and walking down to meet her sister.
Twilight simply grunted slowly, "Hi.."
Shining Armor had simply ignored his sister's obvious grumpy attitude and hugged her.
"It's so great to see you, sis!"
"Mmmmmmhmmmmm.."
Still ignored it. "So whatcha here for?"
"Some stupid-AWK!" Twilight put a hoof to her throat as she gasped, choking on a fly.
"Ahh!" Shining yelled, rushing his mind on ideas for help.
Twilight's face suddenly turned blue seconds later, and she collapsed.
Shining was now freaking out even more.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I got this! I learned CPR in training! Agh, but I've never used it in a real life situation... HELP! SOMEONE HE- agh, no time! I have to save my sister!" he said quickly, before jumping on the ground and putting his mouth on his sister's to save her life.
"Ugh, that's disgusting." a guard said calmly, nudging the guard next to him.
"Gross, isn't that his sister?" the other asked.
"Why yes, yes it is." Said another voice, scribbling on a note pad beyond the guards' view and hearing level.
"...Yes it is." it snickered.
++++++
Twilight coughed. "Well thanks for saving my life." she smiled.
"Of course. And I'll keep an eye out for any suspicious activity." Shining replied.
The two waved their goodbyes than went their separate ways. Upon re-entering his position, a guard had spoken up to Shining Armor.
"Listen, sir, I'm not trying to be mean to you or anything, but your own sister? That's just sick." he said.
"What? What are you talking about?" he asked.
Another guard spoke up. "YOU MADE OUT WITH YOUR SISTER OUTSIDE!"
That sentence kicked his mind with confusion.
"What!?"
++++++
Upon entering Ponyville, Twilight had noticed tons of eyes on her on the way back to her library, which confused her a lot. She had reached her house eventually, and entered to see her friends waiting inside.
Immediately, Rainbow Dash had spoken up.
"Please, PLEASE tell me it's just another rumor!"
THE END (Sorry for the long wait and short chapter, I've had so many stupid interruptions.)
