When Fluttershy and Jack arrived at the bar, the crowds were already beginning to gather. Smoke loomed in the air from tons of cigarettes and Fluttershy coughed. Jack led Fluttershy to a table close to the stage and sat down. The table was sticky and Fluttershy winced before she sat down. The bar was small and packed with ponies. They talked and laughed, some at different more intoxicated then others. The bartender looked busy, trying to keep up with the angry bunch. She was an orange pony, with a blonde mane and the freckles on her cheeks stood out. Jack leaned over to Fluttershy.
“Can you get me a beer?” He asked as Fluttershy stood up slowly and walked toward the bar, quietly excusing every time she accidentally bumped into someone. When she got up to the bar she heard music starting from behind her, the concert was starting.

Dash looked out at the sea of faces from the stage. This is a bigger rush then flying any day, but one caught her eye. Fluttershy stared back in amazement, and looked down, blushing hard.
“She looked at me...” Fluttershy thought to herself.
Dash thought to herself before she leaned over to the bass player.
“Let me take this song.” She said, causing the bass player to just shrug in agreement and gave her the microphone. “This song is for the pretty pony at the back table! This is one of my favorites...” Dash said. Fluttershy looked around and realized her and Jack were the only ones sitting at a table, causing her to blush even harder. Jack looked at Fluttershy and Dash in amazement.
“She's a fillyfooler!” He slurred.

When the concert ended, Jack pulled Fluttershy up to the front to get Dash's autograph. Dash jumped off the stage and talked to a pink pony that seemed to be her roadie. Jack interrupted them.
“Can you sign this?” Jack asked breathlessly and shoved a piece of paper in Dash's face. Dash assessed Jack with a look of disgust and looked the paper.
“I need a pen...” She barked at him. He jumped and searched for a writing utensil. Fluttershy sighed and pulled a pen from her long, thick pink mane and stared at the floor and gave the pen to Rainbow. Dash's glare turned into a smile.
“Hey...” Dash said, waiting for Fluttershy to look back up at her. “Thanks for the pen.” She said, still smiling.
“So...do you like...fuck other girls?” Jack interrupted, clearly plastered. The smile disappeared off Rainbow Dash's face and the scowl was back.
“Wouldn't you like to know asshole.” She spat and shoved the paper back. Jack just laughed and hiccuped.
“So...can I like...watch?” he slurred, Fluttershy was trying to hold him up with her weak hooves. Dash gritted her teeth. Jack realized that he was leaning on Fluttershy through his drunken haze and shoved her.
“Don't touch me, bitch, you're gay and wont let me watch!” He slurred again. Dash lept on him.
“Don't you fucking touch her!” She screamed. The bar fell silent as if anticipating the fight. Dash punched Jack in the face, apparently this sobered him and he shoved her off and grabbed a bottle off the table and broke the edge and pointed the jagged edge at Dash. She panicked for a moment before she heard a bottle break behind her.
“Dash, Catch!” The bartender yelled and tossed the broken bottle to her. Dash caught it up, ready to fight. Fluttershy put her hoof up on Jack's shoulder.
“Maybe we should just leave.” she whispered. Jack whirrled around and slapped her across the mouth, causing Fluttershy to let out a cry as she fell to the floor, holding her cheek and sobbing to herself.
“We can leave after I finish this bitch!” Jack yelled. When he turned around, there was a fire in Dash's eye. She grabbed him by the mane and slammed his head into the table, the bottle fell from his hoof and shattered as it made contact with the floor. Dash leaned over the sticky table to face Jack and pulled out her pocket knife. She flipped it open and his eyes widened as they were reflected in the silver, seraded blade. Dash put the edge to his throught.
“If I EVER see you in this bar again, I wont be so gentile.” she growled, flipping her blade away. She walked over to Fluttershy. “Come on...” She said gently, extending her hoof to her. Fluttershy took it and Dash helped her up. She looked at Jack, laying on the floor, crying quietly and shuttering. Dash led her out the back door and they walked together into the cold night.
